If you check the NYS Civil War Soldiers Database: <http://www.archives.nysed.gov/a/research/res_topics_mi_civilwar_dbintro.shtml> You'll see an Abram P. Haring in the 132nd Infantry, and you may order his records. The 132nd appears to be a New York City regiment, and you may view brief sketches of the individual soldiers in the Adjutant General's report at: <http://dmna.state.ny.us/historic/reghist/civil/rosters/Infantry/132nd_Infantry_CW_Roster.pdf> The report is several hundred pages. -- Bob Sullivan Schenectady Digital History Archive <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/> Schenectady County (NY) Public Library
