Cavalry Service
D. F. Taft is authorized to raise
a Company for the 22nd Cavalry Regiment, now forming at Rochester [NY].
Men enlisting with me will receive
the Highest Bounties, and will not be sent at once into the field,
as is the case when joining Old
Regiments.
Office on the corner of Main and Madison Sts., Oneida.
D. F. Taft, Captain and Recruiting Agent

It is unclear who this D. F. Taft
is. My search of New York Civil War rosters has turned up empty.
Do you know?? Please e-mail me with any information.
