Memorial Stone to the 100th NY Volunteers
From volume 24 of the Buffalo Historical Society Publications (1920):
"Buffalo has not hitherto been rich in
public monuments and memorials, but in recent
years several notable ones have appeared and more are in preparation. One simple
but
effective monument...is the memorial boulder set up at the Front, adjoining
the grounds of
Fort Porter, in memory of the 100th Regiment, New York Volunteers, Buffalo's
'Board of
Trade Regiment' during the Civil War. It was dedicated and unveiled September
25, 1916, by
the 100th N.Y. Veterans Association. It is a rough-dressed granite block set
in a circular granite
curb, and bearing bronze tablets on its two principal sides."
