Private Napoleon B. Remington

Napoleon B. Remington enlisted as a Private on September 3, 1861. He was a resident of the town of New Hartford. He was mustered into Company C, 8th Connecticut Volunteers on September 25, 1861. He was no doubt among friends, Company C was made of many men from New Hartford and the surrounding area.

He would see action with the Eighth on Burnside's North Carolina Expedition. He was present at the battles of Roanoke Island, New Bern and the siege of Fort Macon. During the battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, Remington was wounded in the foot. He was discharged with a disability on January 12, 1863. The disability probably related to his Antietam wound.

Remington died on August 8, 1917 and was buried in Fairview Cemetery in New Britain, Connecticut.

Note: The spelling of Remington's name seems to differ between two spellings. Napolian on his gravestone and Napoleon in the Adjutant General's report
