| The 60th New York Infantry was mustered into the Union army in late October of 1861 in St. Lawrence County, on the banks of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The majority of men in the unit were from St. Lawrence County, but men from all three of the northernmost counties of New York were represented. Like many other newly formed units, the 60th was detailed for guard duty rather than combat. The 60th was assigned to General John A. Dix's Division after mustering in, and left for Baltimore to join the Railroad Brigade, tasked with guarding important railroad sites between Baltimore and Washington, D. C. | The 60th New York Infantry was mustered into the Union army in late October of 1861 in St. Lawrence County, on the banks of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

| Eddy, a chaplain, attributed these offenses to rum drinking. "Our guard house would be all empty if it was not for intoxicating drinks, but I am pained to write that more men will in all probability be ruined by liquor while engaged in this war, than will be maimed or killed by powder and ball." | Eddy, a chaplain, attributed these offenses to rum drinking.

| - | By March, rumors of an upcoming move had begun. Men were still dying, Lieutenant H. C. Eastman, of Company K, died of typhoid. A new Colonel was appointed, Geo. S. Greene. Initial suspicion was soon replaced by respect, as the men got to know their new leader. Guard duty continued, and companies were moved around regularly along the railroad. Their new Colonel received a promotion and Goodrich became Colonel of the 60th. | + | By March, rumors of an upcoming move had started. Men were still dying, Lieutenant H. C.

| - | In May the Regiment finally got their orders to move out. Six companies started for Harper's Ferry. There they met soldiers returning from battle "with horrid tales of the defeat of our men and the cruelties of the rebels to our sick, wounded and prisoners..." The 60th New York was finally going to War. They would eventually fight at 2nd Bull Run, Antietam, and Gettysburg, before moving West and participating in Sherman's March to the Sea. | + | In May the Regiment finally got their orders to move out.
