Description: 9th New York Infantry Regiment "Hawkins' Zouaves" 1862Soldier Uniform Study By Mark Maritato Original Artwork Painting Acrylic-Gouache on Strathmore 400 Bristol Board Signed by the Artist Overall Artwork Size 11" x 14.5" New Uniform Figure study 9th New York Infantry Hawkins’ Zouaves 1862 Here we have a Zouave of the 9th New York Infantry Hawkins' Zouaves. Shown here is their second-generation uniform that they were issued in 1862, which consisted of a blue jacket trimmed in red and magenta as well as a red sash and full blue trousers trimmed in red of the chasseur style rather than the more traditional and baggier Zouave style. This uniform was contracted through Brooks Brothers by the federal government and became the standard design uniform for regiments in federal service who chose to wear the Zouave style of dress. The vest was also trimmed in red as shown here. This is the uniform that the regiment wore during the battle of Antietam Creek, Maryland on September 17, 1862 where they suffered heavy casualties. This soldier carries the updated 1861 Springfield rifled musket which was a state of the art infantry weapon for this period. This regiment, under Colonel Rush C. Hawkins, was organized in New York city, and there mustered in the service of the United States for two years, May 4, 1861; it was accepted by the State, and received its numerical designation, May 13, 1861. One company was formed of members of the 18th Regiment, State Militia, and Company K was equipped as an artillery company, and served as such until November 10, 1862. The regiment was recruited principally in New York city; but some of its members were enrolled at Albany, Brooklyn, Hyde Park, Green Point, Mamaroneck, Mt.

In April or May, 1863, the War Department authorized Capt. R. H. Morris of this regiment to organize a battery of members of his regiment, whose term of service had not expired. It was to consist of 110 men, but failed to complete its existence; 44 of the men assigned to the proposed battery deserted, the remainder were assigned to the 3d Infantry.

The 9th, Hawkins’ Zouaves, recruited mainly in New York city and with 1 company from the 18th regiment state militia, was there mustered into the U. S. service on May 4, 1861, for a two years’ term. It embarked for Fortress Monroe, 800 strong on June 6; was quartered at Newport News until Aug. 27, when 3 companies were sent to Hatteras Inlet, N. C., under Gen. Butler and there joined by the remainder of the regiment on Sept. 13. With Gen. Burnside’s force, the regiment arrived at Roanoke island, early in Feb., 1862, and was actively engaged in the battle there, losing 17 members. It participated in an expedition to Winston; returned to Camp on Roanoke island; was brigaded with the 89th N. Y. and 6th N. H. under Col. Hawkins; was in expeditions to Elizabeth City, and lost 75 men at South Mills. On July 10, the regiment was ordered to Norfolk, Va., with the 12th brigade, 3d division, 9th corps, camped at Newport News, until Sept. 4, when it moved to Washington, and to Frederick, Md., on the 12th. Here it became a part of the Army of the Potomac; was active at South mountain and Antietam, with a loss in the latter battle of 233 killed, wounded and missing. After camping in detachments at various points, the regiment was concentrated at Fredericksburg, participated in the battle there in December; camped at Falmouth until Feb. 1, 1863, except Co. F, which had remained as garrison at Plymouth, N. C., rejoining the regiment on Jan. 26.
