Hamilton K. Redway served as a corporal in Company K, 24th Regiment of the New York Volunteers
(1862-1863) and as lieutenant and later captain of Company F, 1st New York Volunteer
Veterans Cavalry (1863-1865) during the Civil War. After the war, Redway, who was a
white man, was second lieutenant in Company D, U.S. Colored Cavalry (1866).

The collection includes correspondence, a diary, legal documents, financial documents, and
printed material relating to Redway's activities in the Union Army. A number of
ordnance lists and muster rolls are included in the collection, as well as several
captured orders from Confederate General James Longstreet's command (1862).
Correspondence, legal documents, financial documents, and printed material
pertaining to Redway's wife, Loriette, are also included. The records are divided by
type into two record series: Military Records; and Personal Papers. Among the
personal papers are two small, pocket sized (photocopied) notebooks in which Redway
kept track of the equipment issued to the men under his command and also made notes
about who was in the hospital, who was promoted, and who was on furlough. Some of
the larger documents in the collection have been removed for storage into oversize
boxes. There is a separation sheet noting when material has been removed from a
folder and indicating where it is being housed.

Arrangement |
|
Materials in the collection are divided into two series: Military Records; and Personal
Papers. Within the series, records are roughly grouped by type of document. There
appears to be no chronological order for the folders, but within each folder for a
particular military company, records are arranged chronologically. These folders
include records from Company F, Company K, Company B, Company I, and Company D.
Personal papers include wartime and post-war correspondence, some business materials
and legal documents, and a diary spanning the years 1862 to 1875. Also included are
two notebooks, one undated and the other dated 1864. |
