James Berry - 79th New York Highlanders in the spring of 1861

I have a picture of his regiment marching in New York around the same time......
Organized in 1859, the 79th Regiment of the New York State Militia was comprised primarily of emigrant Scots and Scottish-Americans. The militia was modeled after the famous Scottish regiment of the British Army, “The Cameron Highlanders” as were the uniforms.
