1st New York Dragoons

Hello John Holthusen was my great grandfather and i am trying to locate information about him. He said he served in the Civil War but i have not been able to find his records. At Ancestry.com they list a John Holthusen in the 94th NY Infantry Regiment. National Park Service list a John Holthusen in the 12th Illinois Infantry but this was him. There was also a August Holthusen who served in the 39th NY Infantry. August would be about the right age but wrong first name. Not sure if you can help me or know of an on line list of soldiers in the 94th Infantry, thank you for your time. don

Nathan enlisted in the 130th NY Infantry on Aug. 16, 1862. He stayed with the regiment through its evolution from infantry to mounted infantry to 19th NY Cavalry to 1st NY Dragoons. He was captured as a sergeant of the First New York Dragoons on or about Oct. 17, 1863, and sent to prison in Richmond. In that Richmond prison, he had a brief encounter with Robert Knox Sneden, who wrote about the encounter in his book 'Eye of the Storm.' Sneden went to Andersonville and survived.
