He organized the 8th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment and was elected the Colonel of the regiment. Colonel Blenker performed admirably at the battle of Bull Run and in West Virginia. He was promoted to Brigadier General for gallantry at Bull Run. Financial problems, supply difficulties and other things led to his demise. On 31 March, 1863, he was mustered out of the service.
