It's possible I suppose, but I would think the research data would be readily available if that were the case. I haven't been able to find anything about with a UC reference.
In Nevada. I don't know which part, sorry.
That is ok. I tried a couple of times to find a match so thought knowing the area might help. Thanks.
Me either Mason. Something has to be out there.
Wow. Good guess. I haven't found any official Army documentation from the 19th C, but there are plenty of references to men enlisting or being commissioned into the "Infantry Regiment U. C." - which refers to colored troops in the Civil War era and immediately after.
"Recollections of My Slavery Days" by William Henry Singleton. Originally published in a local Peekskill, New York newspaper in 1922, the autobiography of William Henry Singleton, from Craven County, NC, recounts his years as a slave, his Civil War service in Company B, 35th UC Colored Infantry and his life after the war.
That's what I thought, also but can't find one that matches. Maybe it's Union Carbide! Ha
Sorry, I'm just now seeing this. No. I've not had any luck IDing it nor has anyone else as far as I know. I did talk to a friend of the guy who found it and it was near Virginia City, NV.
Just my 2 cents, but in that reference I would think it likely that the C is a typo or a misreading of handwriting, and should be an S. I have never seen any reference anywhere else to the USCT referred to as UC. YMMV.
