Thanks, here is what I have come up with since my original posting.
Christopher J. Hussey, served as a Pvt. in Company B, 1st Oregon Volunteer Infantry, from 25 Nov. 1864 to July 23, 1866.
COMPANY "B", FIRST REGIMENT
OREGON VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
(A transcript of record)
Captain Ephraim Palerm's COMPANY "B", 1ST REGIMENT Oregon VOLUNTEER INFANTRY, Colonel George B. Currey commanding.
In the early part of the Civil War the Federal troops in the State of Oregon, were withdrawn for service in the East rendering it necessary for the State authorities to raise troops for the protection and defense of the State and its citizens. On October 20, 1864, orders were received from the War Department to raise a regiment of infantry in the State of Oregon as soon as possible. On the 24th of that month a law was passed by the State Legislature giving a bounty of $150. to each volunteer. On account of the inducements offered by the acts granting extra pay and bounty the officers of the State were enabled to promptly and efficiently comply with the call for raising a regiment of infantry, which was organized in the State of Oregon at Large, from November 11, 1864, to Jan. 5, 1865, to serve one and three years. It was mustered in at Camp Russell, Oregon, and various companies were engaged in operations against hostile Indians, taking part in numerous skirmishes with them, and rendered valuable service in the protection of life and property. It was mustered out by companies from October 31, 1865, to July 19, 1867.
