79th New York State Millitia (Civil War Reenacting)

Photos and information concerning the 79th New York State Militia, Company C., a part of the Cameron Highlanders of the Northwest. The 79th NY Company C. is a civil war reenacting group based in the Pacific Northwest, headquartered in Oregon City Oregon.

Our Company website it: (under construction)

The 79th New York was the only Highland Regiment in the American Army, originally an ethnically Scottish New York Militia Regiment raised in 1858. The 79th served with brave distinction throughout the Civil War. It was based in many ways on the British Highland Regiments, specifically the 79th Regiment of Foot, later the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders.




If anyone has any pictures from their unit, or historical pictures of the 79th please send me a copy with a description and I will post them here either in an already existing folder, or a new one.

If anyone has a problem with any picture they see here (historical accuracy) they can email me their concern. If you think something is wrong and can show us documentation proving an error, our unit will strive to correct it. If your just an internet cowboy and want to make snide comments, go jump in a lake.

Hi, My name is Robert Rodgers. I am interested in putting together a 79th Uniform and your site is quite informative. I have a question for you. I am planning on making a sporran soon and wanted to know if you could steer me in the right direction. How are the tassels attached and how are they made? Is there a pattern for the whole thing?
Thanks

Awesome website! You give good information and show great detail on the uniforms. It helps to know little about the 79th. I'm also in a 79th New York Cameron Highlanders Company A regiment in Bakersfield, California, so this came of great help to me.
