By this battle, most of the regiment were re-uniformed, having been dressed in red flannel shirts with dark blue wool trousers: their original uniforms having worn-out due to being of very poor (shoddy) quality. Many of the men in this regiment had also adopted the Zouave Fez as their headgear, but many retained their original caps as well. The 11th New York Fire Zouaves participated in repeated assaults up Henry House Hill, in many cases fighting hand-to hand to help recapture a union artillery battery that was lost in an early assault by the Confederates. Although the 11th fought bravely, they were forced to fall back along with the rest of the Union Army. This regiment, Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth, was recruited and organized in New York city, accepted by the State April 20, 1861, and mustered in the service of the United States, at Washington, D. C, for two years, May 7, 1861.
