Nicholas G. Veeder was born in New York on December 25, 1761, nearly 15 years before the Declaration of Independence. At 16, he enrolled in the 2nd Albany County Militia in late 1777.

His documented service included scouting around Ballston and Galway, garrison duty at Fort Paris, pursuing forces led by Joseph Brant after the destruction of Canajoharie, responding to the 1780 attack on Ballston, and service connected with Johnstown in 1781.

The photograph shows Veeder late in life outside his home in Scotia, New York, which became known as the “Old Fort.” He filled the building with Revolutionary War artifacts and effectively turned it into a small museum. Around him are old weapons and other relics, while behind him hangs the historic Schenectady Liberty Flag. The house itself survived Veeder but was eventually removed in 1891.

Veeder lived until April 7, 1862, reaching 100 years old.

My 99 favorite battlefield places, number 98: Orchard K**b at Chattanooga, mainly because from this one, well-memorialized spot, you can tell the story if all three days of the Battle of Chattanooga—Orchard K**b, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge. Then, you can line up old photos too! This 1866 view looks down from Missionary Ridge.
