Papers, 1852-1947.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/70901869

The papers of Alfred Neafie consist chiefly of materials related to his military service during the Civil War and his post-war endeavors to chronicle the history of the 156th New York Infantry Regiment. Included are many letters addressed his wife, Anne Preston Neafie, that provide details of his activities and experiences in the war. Of particular interest are letters and related documents concerning the siege of Port Hudson, Louisiana in July 1863 and the battles at Fisher's Hill and Cedar Creek, Virginia in 1864. These papers also include his detailed diary of his voyage from New York to San Francisco around Cape Horn in 1852, and letters related to his subsequent adventures prospecting for gold in California and post war business ventures at the Ellenville Glass Works and the Ulster Knife Company.
