Historical/biog note:
Jacob Henry Enders was born November 19, 1834, at Fort Hunter, Montgomery County, New York. He graduated from Union College with honors in 1858, and Princeton Theological Seminary in 1861. He mustered in as chaplain in the 153rd New York Regiment of Infantry, October 18, 1862, and remained in that capacity until mustering out of service with the regiment, October 2, 1865 at Savannah, Georgia. Thereafter, he pursued a career as a clergyman with the Reformed Church of America, holding pastorates in Lysander, Chittenango, Albany, and Fort Hunter, New York. He died October 6, 1901.
Review:
The papers of Jacob Henry Enders relate mostly to his life as a student at Union College (Schenectady, N.Y.), 1857-1858, and his service as a chaplain for the 153rd New York State Volunteers during the Civil War, 1862-1865. His academic career is documented in a number of personal letters to and from friends and family; essays and compositions he wrote; academic reports; and financial statements. His service in the military is documented primarily in his unpublished, ca. 200-page manuscript history of the 153rd New York Volunteers. which chronicles the history of the regiment from its organization and mustering into service at Fonda, Montgomery County, New York, in October 1862; its deployment south to defend Washington, D.C.; its participation in the Red River expedition (Louisiana) and the Shenandoah Valley campaign (Virginia): and, finally, its discharge and mustering out of service in October 1865 at Savannah, Georgia.
