Welcome to the NEW Page of New Jersey’s Fighting Men.
This undertaking will culminate into an entire view of New Jersey in the American Civil War. It is my goal to distribute all the information available pertaining to first New Jersey then the Civil War. This page is not meant to deride what others have sacrificed during these four years of war or hide heroics by others outside New Jersey, but rather to give these men their place along side those who are still not forgotten as grass covers their graves and for many their names and final resting places are to remain unknown. There are times when others are mentioned with the New Jersey men due to their actions when interacting with New Jersey, its men or its material.
