Description
Created as a social club in New York city in the fall of 1858, the ######## Guard or 79th New York was created with the help of the St. ####### and Caledonian societies of New York and wealthy financial backers like Samuel M. Elliot and James Cameron, the brother of ##### ######## President Lincoln's Secretary of War. The organization had no actual connection to the 79th Cameron Highlanders of Scotland. Only in name and in tartan did they identify with the 79th of the British Army.
