Enlisted men were the unsung, and largely undocumented, heroes of the Civil War. This page is an attempt to document those unrecognized soldiers that fought in the war. Unit names are linked to pages on that unit, if available. Each soldiers name is linked to a mini-bio of that soldier, usually submitted by a researcher.

This page is for soldiers who served from Cortland Co. in the following units -
Infantry: Regts., 12th, 19th, 23d, 76th, 93d, 114th, 156th, 157th, 175th, 185th, 194th
Cavalry: Regts., 10th.
Artillery: Regts., 3d, 16th.
