The 36th New York Infantry Regiment was a New York Civil War regiment. It was a unique fighting force, including both Irishmen and New York Britons, having absorbed the New York British Volunteers while organizing. A colorful group known for its antics and in-fighting, it nevertheless made important contributions to the Union cause at such battles as Seven Pines, Malvern Hill, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville. Many of its members were also present during the New York Draft Riots.
It was first blooded at the battle of Seven Pines and later participated in the Union victory at Malvern Hill. It was part of a detachment guarding the bridges at Fredericksburg and did not see combat there. In the battle of Chancellorsville, it participated in the capture of Marye's Heights.
Before the Gettysburg battle, the two-year enlistment period of its members expired, though many were rushed to New York to quell the draft riots and the regiment suffered its last war casualties there.
