ONE HUNDRED AND FIRST REGIMENT.

Of the ten original companies composing this regiment Bedford county sent forth Co. D, besides many of those forming Co. G. The regiment was organized at Camp Curtin, near Harrisburg, in October, 1861, and remained there until February 27, 1862, when it departed for Washington, D.C. Upon its arrival it went into camp at Meridian Hill and was soon after assigned to Keim’s (2d) brigade -- composed of the 85th Penn. vols., Col. Joshua B. Howell; 101st Penn. vols., Col. Joseph H. Wilson; 103d Penn. vols., Col. Theodore F. Lehman; and 96th N.Y. vols., Col. James Fairman -- of Casey’s (3d) division of the 4th army corps, under command Maj.- Gen. E. D. Keyes.

From that time -- March, 1862 -- until March, 1863, the regiment participated in all the movements, skirmishes, battles and vicissitudes, in common with the brigade commanded successively by Gen. Keim, Col. Howell, of the 85th Penn., and Gen. Wessells. During the peninsula campaign it was engaged at the siege of Yorktown and the fight at Williamsburg. Its colonel and many other members sickened and died amid the swamps of the Chickahominy, while, for a time, but few of the survivors were able to perform the duty required of them. In that desperate engagement known as Fair Oaks, fought May 31, 1862, nearly every third man in the regiment was either killed or wounded; the slaughter which it inflicted upon the enemy was terrible. "Col. Morris had ordered his men at the opening of the fight to aim at the waist-belt of the foe, and as he had come up within eighty yards, the fire was most effective, Gen. Wessells declaring it unprecedented." - Bates. After the close of the unsuccessful campaign on the peninsula, the brigade was ordered to Suffolk, Virginia, and subsequently to North Carolina, but as these movements have been briefly alluded to in the foregoing sketch of the 85th regiment, it is not deemed necessary to refer to them further here.

Early in 1863, however, the brigade was divided, for while some of the regiments proceeded to Hilton Head, South Carolina, and from that point operated against the enemy in that quarter, others, of which the 101st was one, remained to assist in making life burdensome to the enemy in the old North State. But, as the sequel will prove, the Union commanders planned not wisely.

On the 7th of March, a force consisting of the 101st and 103d Penn. vols., and a company of the 3d N.Y. cav, was sent from its winter quarters near New Berne, to Hyde county, North Carolina, to break up a formidable and troublesome band of guerrillas infesting that locality. But after moving by transports to Swanquarter, and marching through the suspected district, passing quite around Lake Mattimuskeet, the expedition returned without having accomplished the object sought.

One month later, or on the 4th of April, the regiment joined in the movement for the relief of Gen. Foster, who with a small force was then besieged at Little Washington. The relieving force moved by water and reached a point within nine miles of the town, but the rebel batteries, there commanding the river, compelled a retirement to New Berne. On the very day of their return an overland expedition for the same destination started forth. The enemy was found at Swift creek, with infantry and artillery, prepared to dispute the passage. An almost impassable swamp, which could only be crossed by a corduroy causeway, raked by the enemy’s artillery, also impeded the advance. The 101st with other troops was thrown to the front and a sharp engagement of two hours’ duration took place. At the end of that time Gen. Spinola, who was in command, regarding the opposition too formidable to be overcome by his force, withdrew, and returned to New Berne. By this time Gen. Wessells, who had been absent a short time, returned, and Gen. Foster, having run the gantlet of the rebel batteries along the river, himself headed a force, which fought its way through, reached Little Washington, and finally relieved the garrison.

Gen. Wessells with his brigade was soon after ordered to Plymouth, North Carolina, where for a year, nearly, the troops were chiefly engaged in repairing earthworks, building new ones, and scouting the country bordering on the Albemarle Sound and the Chowan river. In one of these scouts Lieut. Helm, with Co. G, surprised the camp of a guerrilla band and made the entire party prisoners, taking the leader from the chimney of the house where he had his headquarters.

Meanwhile the enemy was preparing to assume aggressive operations in force, and it was well known to the Union commander of the district that the Confederates were busy at Hamilton, a point on the Roanoke river above, in building an iron-clad ram, which, with the co-operation of a powerful land-force, was to be used to open and control the river and Sound below. Accordingly, Gen. Wessells caused obstructions to be placed in the bed of the river, anchored torpedoes in the channel and strengthened the earth works, mounting a two-hundred-pounder gun at the point where the works met the river above. A considerable part of the command was suffering from ague and was in hospitals.

Sunday, April 17, 1864, was a beautiful spring day, and the troops, after the usual religious exercises, were reposing in quiet in the intrenchments, when at 4 P.M. a few shots were heard in rapid succession from the pickets posted on the Washington Road. A detachment of cavalry sent out soon returned, bringing the intelligence that the enemy was advancing in force. It proved to be the rebel Gen. Hoke, with a land force variously estimated from seven to fifteen thousand men. Fort Gray, upon the river bank, which commanded the passage, was the first object of attack, and upon this he opened with his artillery, the fort with the gunboats replying, the ram called the Albemarle, riding at anchor above, ready to pass down as soon as the fort was reduced. At night the firing ceased, but was resumed early on the morning of the 18th, the infantry mingling in the fray as the investment was more closely pressed. Soon his skirmishers made their appearance in front of the work below and opened fire. The Bombshell, a small gunboat, was struck by one of the enemy’s land batteries during the forenoon and soon after sunk. At a little before sunset a heavy line of infantry emerged from the woods in front of the lower works, and, sweeping away the Union skirmish line, occupied a fine eminence, on which he immediately planted several batteries. These were at once opened upon the town, the main force of the attack being directed upon Fort Williams, the headquarters of Gen. Wessells. A transport despatched to Roanoke island returned at evening, bringing up all available forces, among them two hundred men of the 101st. By nightfall all the guns on both sides, from land and river, were in full play, and the fire, which had now become fearful, was kept up far into the night. A determined assault was made in the evening upon Fort Wessells, a detached work to the front and right of the town, and though defended with consummate skill and the most determined bravery, by a company of the 85th N.Y., under Capt. Nelson Chapin, which repulsed repeated charges, throwing hand-grenades when the enemy came within reach, and thrusting them from the escarpment with bayonet when they attempted to scale the parapets, it was finally forced to yield, but not until the brave captain had been mortally wounded. In the thick darkness, just before the dawn of the day (of the 19th), the rebel ram Albemarle, passing the obstructions in the river without injury, made for the gunboats Southfield and Miami, soon sinking the former and causing the latter to withdraw down the stream. Toward evening it was discovered that the enemy was moving around and massing on the left of the line, where, from paucity of numbers, the works were least protected. Detachments of the 101st were immediately sent to strengthen that part of the line. The enemy opened with his artillery and soon came forward in heavy force. After a stubborn resistance, it was forced to yield to superior numbers, but fell back slowly, disputing the ground inch by inch.

At a little before daylight of the 20th the rebel artillery opened all along the line, the signal for the onset, and shortly after a full brigade, which had been massed for a decisive move, charged upon the left while demonstrations were made along the line. The shock was bravely met and the guns at Conoby and Compher redoubts were kept in full play until the rebel line had passed them and was already in the suburbs of the town. At Compher redoubt Cos. D, I, G, B, and a part of K held their position until their stockade was knocked down and the enemy were crowding into the works. At Conoby redoubt the handful of men left was withdrawn when the work was no longer tenable and the enemy were pouring in at the north side. But still the forces holding a part of the works, including Fort Williams, held out. A third of the troops were by this time prisoners. The loyal North Carolinians and colored troops, after fighting bravely, now that all hope of successful defense was gone made for the adjoining swamps, for they well knew their fate if they fell into the hands of their enemies. A truce of a few minutes followed and terms were offered, which Gen. Wessells refused to accept. The guns again opened, the firing being kept up until eleven A. M., when the entire force was surrendered. "During the whole afternoon," says Adjutant Longenecker, "we could hear the crack of rebel rifles along the swamps, where they were hunting down the colored troops and loyal North Carolinians. I heard a rebel Colonel say, with an oath, that they intended to shoot every Buffalo (North Carolinian) and negro they found in our uniform." The loss in this engagement was five killed, twenty-four wounded and two missing. The entire regiment, with the exception of a few absent on furlough or detached service, fell into the hands of the enemy, including the following officers: Lieut.- Col. A.W. Taylor, Adjt. J. H. Longenecker, Q.M. Thomas King, Asst. Surg. William Macpherson, Capts. Bowers, Compher, Sheafer, Clark, Freeman, Mullin, Benner and Dawson, and Lieuts. Davidson, Kirk, Morrow, Heppard, Conley, Werrick, Cubbison, Beegle and Helm.

The prisoners were marched to Tarboro, and thence taken by rail to Andersonville, Georgia, where the enlisted men were imprisoned. The officers, however, were sent to Macon, Georgia, being joined there by many Union officers from Libby and other prisons throughout the rebel Confederacy. Subsequently they were removed, successively, to Savannah, Ga.; to Charleston, S.C.; Columbia, S.C., and Charlotte, N.C., and were finally exchanged at Wilmington, N.C., in March, 1865. During their imprisonment a majority of the officers of the 101st escaped at various intervals, as their own daring and heroism prompted, and after incredible hardships and sufferings, hunted by cavalry and bloodhounds, some of them succeeded in reaching the Union lines at far distant points, while others were captured and returned to prison to suffer redoubled torments in punishment of their temerity. Among those who thus earned their freedom were Capts. Bowers and Dawson, and Lieuts. Conley, Helm and Davidson, but Capts. Binner and Freeman, Lieuts. Beegle and Heppard, and Adjt. Longenecker, less fortunate, were apprehended and returned to captivity. The enlisted men were closely held in that dreadful, ever to be remembered prison-pen, Andersonville, until the latter part of the summer of 1864, when a part of them were taken to Millen, and a few to Savannah, where some were exchanged. With the exception of a few retained at Andersonville, and who were afterward sent north by way of the Mississippi river, nearly all met at Florence, South Carolina, and were exchanged in the spring of 1865, at Wilmington, North Carolina, and sent to Annapolis, Maryland, in ocean transports. In a word, all who survived were exchanged in March, 1865; but before that time, more than half of those captured at Plymouth had died, or in other words had been maltreated and starved to death by the rebel authorities, so well represented in the persons of that execrable archtraitor Davis, and his willing coadjutor, the monster Wirtz.

About the time the attack began upon Plymouth, the sick of the regiment were sent by transport to Roanoke Island. These, with a few officers and men who were absent with leave at the time, were formed into a detachment under the command of Lieut. David M. Ramsey, of Co. F, and became part of the garrison of the island. To this detachment during the summer was added one hundred recruits. As fast as exchanged the officers and men reported at Camp Parole, Annapolis, Maryland, and subsequently rejoined the detachment on Roanoke island, where the regimental organization was revived. But still the companies were only skeletons. In March, 1865, eight new companies were assigned to the regiment. However, they were never consolidated with the original companies, and on June 25, following, at New Berne, North Carolina, the regiment was mustered out of service.

Following are the names of the officers and men from Bedford county who served in this regiment. Those captured at Plymouth, not being otherwise designated, being marked with an asterisk.

ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTH REGIMENT.

This gallant command, recruited in the counties of Franklin, York, Dauphin, Cumberland, Lebanon, Lancaster, Schuylkill, Luzerne, Mifflin, Juniata, Bedford and Fulton during the winter of 1861-2, was organized at Harrisburg on March 5, 1862. Four days later, it departed for Washington, and upon its arrival went into camp at Kendall Green.

The Potomac was crossed on the 2d of April, and about the middle of that month the regiment was assigned to Duryea’s brigade of Ord’s division, subsequently attached to McDowell’s corps. After joining in the pursuit of "Stonewall" Jackson -- who during the last days of May had defeated Fremont and Banks in the Shenandoah valley -- and participating in various minor movements, the regiment engaged in its first battle at Bull Run on the 30th day of August. Its losses were heavy, amounting to one hundred and twenty-five in killed, wounded and missing." Among the killed was Capt. John T. Dick, the commander of the company (H) in which were gathered many Bedford county men.

Again at South Mountain on the 14th of September, and at Antietam on the 17th of the same month, the men of the 107th Penn. performed prodigies of valor, losing in the two battles eighty-five men killed and wounded. At Fredericksburg on the 13th of December, the regiment sustained a loss of fifty-two in killed, wounded and missing. During the Chancellorsville campaign, its duties were arduous, but it was not actively engaged in the battle. Moving forward with the Army of the Potomac to Gettysburg, it there withstood the storms of battle during the 1st, 2d, 3d and 4th days of July, 1863, losing about one hundred men killed and wounded, and one hundred more were taker prisoners.

In February, 1864, nearly the entire regiment re-enlisted, but not until April was the command permitted to start homeward to enjoy the veteran furlough. On its return to the field Fredericksburg, Virginia, was reached May 15th. Thenceforth, until the close of the war, the regiment formed part of the 2d, and subsequently of the 3d division of the 5th army corps, and the history of that corps is the history of the 107th. From May, 1864, to the surrender at Appomattox, April 9, 1865, the regiment had lost in killed, wounded and prisoners nearly three hundred officers and enlisted men. The survivors were finally mustered out of service at Washington, D.C., July 13, 1865.

ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH REGIMENT.

Co. C, of this regiment, was recruited in the summer and autumn of 1861, in Morrison’s Cove, the members, with a few exceptions, being residents of that part included in Bedford county. The first place of rendezvous was Huntingdon but about the 1st of December the troops in that camp were transferred to Camp Curtin where a regimental organization was effected soon after.

On the 2d of January, 1862, this regiment left Camp Curtin and proceeded by rail to Hagerstown, Maryland, from whence it made a force march to Hancock, to oppose the rebel force under Stonewall Jackson, at that time threatening the place. Arms were first distributed a midnight on the 4th, and the regiment at once became part of Gen. F. W. Landers’ command. After considerable long-range shelling by both Union and Confederate artillerists, Jackson pushed on to Romney, and Landers to Cumberland as a counter movement. Subsequently the 110th was assigned to Tyler’s brigade. The troops were engaged in guard and picket duty along the Baltimore & Ohio railroad until the early part of March, when a movement, in which the regiment participated, was made toward Strasburg. The command bivouacked at the latter place on the 19th, and on the 20th returned and went into camp near Winchester. Meanwhile Gen. Landers had died on the 2d of March, and Gen. James Shields succeeded to the command of the division.

Near Winchester, three days later, the regiment fought its first battle. It appears that early in the morning of the 23d, the enemy under Jackson approached in force, and attacked Shields’ advanced troops near the village of Kernstown, about four miles south of Winchester. Shields promptly advanced his whole division, Tyler’s brigade being assigned the duty of attacking and turning the enemy’s left flank, which had been thrown forward to a commanding position, screened and protected by timber and a stone fence. The 110th occupied the extreme right of the line, and in the charge upon the enemy in his sheltered position suffered severely. "Our batteries on the opposite ridge," said Gen. Shields in his official report, "though admirably managed by their experienced chief, Lieut.-Col. Daum, were soon found insufficient to check, or even retard, the advance of such a formidable body. I saw there was not a moment to lose, and gave positive orders that all disposable infantry should be immediately thrown forward on our right to carry the enemy’s batteries, and to assail and turn his left flank, and hurl it back on the center. Col. Kimball carried out these orders with promptitude and ability. He entrusted this movement to Tyler’s splendid brigade, which, under its fearless leader, Col. Tyler, marched forward, with alacrity and enthusiastic joy, to the performance of the most perilous duty of the day. The enemy’s skirmishers were driven before it, and fell back upon the main body, strongly posted behind a high and solid stone wall, situated on an elevated ground. Here the struggle became desperate, and for a short time doubtful, but Tyler’s brigade being soon joined on the left by portions of Sullivan’s and Kimball’s brigades, this united force dashed upon the enemy with a cheer and yell that rose high above the roar of battle, and though the rebels fought desperately, as their piles of dead attest, they were forced back through the woods by a fire as destructive as ever fell upon a retiring foe. Jackson, with his supposed invincible Stonewall brigade, and the accompanying brigades, much to their mortification and discomfiture, were compelled to fall back in disorder upon their reserve. Here they took up a position for a final stand, and made an attempt, for a few minutes, to retrieve the fortunes of the day; but again rained down upon them the same close and destructive fire. Again cheer upon cheer rang in their ears. A few minutes only did they stand up against it, when they turned dismayed, and fled in disorder, leaving us in possession of the field, the killed and wounded, three hundred prisoners, two guns, four caissons, and a thousand stand of small arms. Night alone saved him from total destruction." In the battle the regiment lost thirteen killed and thirty-nine wounded out of three hundred men engaged, the severe marching of the few preceding days having rendered many unfit to stand in the ranks.

Thereafter, under the immediate command of Shields, Ricketts, Whipple and Birney, as division commanders, and McDowell, Franklin and Hancock as commanders of army corps, the regiment performed most arduous and gallant service until the close of the war. Its dead and wounded marked the fields designated in history as "Winchester," "Front Royal," "Port Republic," "Cedar Mountain," "Second Bull Run," "Fredericksburg," "Chancellorsville," "Gettysburg," "Wilderness,"" Spottsylvania," "North Anna," "Tolopotomy," "Cold Harbor," "Shady Grove Church," "Petersburg,"" Strawberry Plains," "Deep Bottom," "Poplar Spring Church," and "Boydton Road," and as a result its total casualty list was a large one.

Early in January, 1864, the major portion of the regiment re-enlisted. On October 24 of the same year those who had not re-enlisted were honorably discharged, having served a term of three years, and on June 28, 1865, the surviving members of an organization whose record was not surpassed by any were mustered out of service at Washington, D.C.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THIRD REGIMENT.

This regiment, a nine months’ organization, was recruited in the summer of 1862. Cos. C and K are composed of Bedford county men, and D and E of men from Somerset county. The companies composing the regiment rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, where the following field officers were elected  - about the middle of August  - by the line officers: Capt. F. B. Speakman, of Co. G, colonel; Capt. Abraham Kopelin, of Co. A, lieutenant-colonel; and Capt. Edward M. Schrock, of Co. D, major.

On August 19 the regiment departed for Washington, D.C., and upon its arrival reported to Gen. Casey, by whom it was immediately ordered forward to Arlington Heights. There it was brigaded with the 123d, 131st and 134th Penn. regts. Until Sunday morning, September 14, as part of Humphrey’s division of the 5th army corps, the regiment performed guard and picket duty in the vicinity of Washington and Alexandria. It then took up the line of march, to meet in Maryland a defiant enemy threatening the border counties of Pennsylvania, where were located the homes of many of the men of this regiment. The field of battle at Antietam was not reached, however, until the 18th - the day after the fight  - and on the 19th the command moved forward over the field, covered with the dead and wounded of both armies, and finally settled down in camp, a mile out of Sharpsburg, where it remained, until the inauguration of the Fredericksburg campaign, under Gen. Burnside. For nearly a month preceding the battle the regiment was encamped near Falmouth.

Col. Speakman, in his official report, says:
Between two and three o’clock P.M., on Saturday, the 13th of December, the regiment, in common with the other regiments of the brigade, was ordered to cross the river. This was successfully done, although the shells from the enemy’s batteries were falling thick and fast, and exploding over us. I advanced my regiment as directed, through Fredericksburg, crossed the canal or race just outside of the city, and filing to the left formed line of battle under cover of a small hill. The regiment was placed on the right and in the advance, the fourth battalion, Col. Allen, being on our left. Knapsacks were unslung, bayonets fixed, and orders received to charge the works on Mary’s Heights. We charged up and over the hill, about two hundred and fifty yards, when we came upon a line of troops, lying down. My men, not knowing that they were to pass over this line, covered themselves as well as they could in the rear of this line. The troops in front neither advancing nor retreating, and a second charge being ordered, I passed over the prostrate troops, charged to the right of and past the Brick House, and to within about fifty yards of the stone wall, and to the left of the house, to the crest of the hill. These positions were held for an hour, under a most terrific fire from the enemy’s infantry and artillery, and until dusk, when was I ordered by Gen. Humphreys to withdraw, which I did, and re-formed line of battle on the right of the road, and a little in rear of where our original Line for the charge had been formed. Here we remained for a time, only sending out squads to scour the fields and bring off our killed and wounded. At three o’clock A.M. on Sunday morning, the 14th, the regiment was marched into the city and near to the river, where we were furnished with a fresh supply of ammunition, and again ordered on the field. We were posted under cover of a small hill, though still exposed to the enemy’s fire. At seven in the evening we were ordered into Fredericksburg, where we remained until Tuesday morning, when we recrossed the Rappahannock and returned to camp. The loss in the regiment is three commissioned officers killed and eight wounded; seventeen enlisted men killed, one hundred and twenty-nine wounded, and twenty-seven missing. Some of the latter are known to be wounded, and will likely be found in some of the hospitals, while others are no doubt killed.

Thereafter the regiment participated in the general movements of the Army of the Potomac. At Chancellorsville, on May 3, 1863, it was actively engaged, but sustained a loss of only one killed, Adjt. Edward C. Bendere, and nine wounded. Its term of service soon afterward expired, and returning to Harrisburg on the 19th, it was during the succeeding week paid and disbanded.

Following will be found the names, etc., of the men from Bedford and Somerset counties who served in this regiment. The reader bearing in mind that Cos. C and K were recruited in Bedford county, Cos. D and E in Somerset:

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT.

Recruiting for the companies which ultimately composed this regiment was commenced under the call for volunteers for the nine months’ service, but before the ranks were filled an order was issued forbidding the acceptance of more men for a less period than three years hence the terms of enlistment were changed to three years in conformity with the order. Cos D, E and F were recruited in Bedford county in the summer of 1862, and reporting at camp Curtin, the regimental rendezvous, during the last days of August, were mustered into service on the 29th day of the same month.

On the day following the muster in of the Bedford county companies the regiment proceeded to Baltimore, where it reported to Gen. Wool, in command of the middle department and was by him ordered to duty at the Relay House, the Washington junction of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. In the performance of guard duty on this road the regiment remained until June 16, 1863, when it moved to Harper’s Ferry and joined Elliott’s brigade of French’s (3d) division, 3d army corps. Thenceforward it participated in the general movements of the corps during the summer and autumn, but sustained no losses worthy of mention until it met the enemy at Mine run, on November 27. At dark of that day, after having gallantly held the ground and repulsed repeated charges, it was relieved by fresh troops, and rested for the night on the field. It had lost in this engagement seven killed, forty-five wounded and three missing. During the night, the enemy withdrew to his fortified position behind Mine run. It was then determined to abandon the campaign, and the regiment with the army returned to Brandy station, where the following winter was passed.

In March, 1864, the smooth-bore muskets with which the regiment was armed were exchanged for Springfield rifled muskets, and in the re-organization of the army preparatory to the opening of the spring campaign under Gen. Grant, the 3d division of the 3d corps became the 3d division of the 6th army corps, Gen. Ricketts in command of the division. The army moved on the 3d of May, and on the 5th, soon after crossing the Rapidan, it was attacked in the tangled thickets of the Wilderness. The story of the terrible conflicts which took place in the Wilderness during the early days of May, 1864, has been told many times. We have no space to repeat it here, merely adding that to the 1st of June, the 138th lost in killed, wounded and missing one hundred and seventy officers and enlisted men.

At Cold Harbor on the 1st, 2d and 3d days of June, the regiment again behaved most gallantly -sustaining a loss of seven killed, fifty-four wounded and seven missing. Subsequently, after crossing the James river, the 3d division moved up to the Point of Rocks, and was assigned a position in the trenches at Bermuda Hundred, but soon afterward it rejoined the corps in front of Petersburg, and near the close of June participated in the movement upon the Weldon railroad, assisting in the destruction of several miles of the road.

Early in July Ricketts’ division was rapidly transferred by cars and transports via City Point and Baltimore to Monocacy, Maryland, and there awaited the advance of the enemy under Early, who, with a powerful division of Lee’s army, was advancing on Washington. Ricketts’ division occupied the left of the line, the troops of Gen. Wallace, who commanded the department, occupying the right, and in the fight which took place on the 9th, the regiment lost thirty-nine men wounded, twenty-one captured and eight missing. The division retired to Baltimore and Early pushed on toward Washington; but he was met by the rest of the 6th corps and driven ingloriously into Virginia. The Union forces joined in pursuit and pushed him to beyond Berryville, in the Shenandoah valley, Ricketts’ division having in the meantime rejoined the corps.

Soon afterward a new military department was created and Gen. Sheridan assigned to its command. His army was composed of the 6th, 8th and 19th corps, with a force of cavalry detached from the Army of the Potomac. A vigorous campaign was at once inaugurated, and in the actions which followed, near Smithfield, on August 29, at Opequan, September 19, and at Fisher’s Hill, three days later, the enemy was routed and pursued to Harrisonburg. The Union army then returned and went into camp at Cedar creek, the enemy returning subsequently with reinforcements and taking position in his favorite stronghold at Fisher’s Hill. Thus far in the campaign the regiment had lost four killed, thirty-nine wounded and three missing.

On October 19 was fought the memorable battle at Cedar creek, which began when Sheridan was "twenty miles away." The rebel army, under Early, stealthily approached the Union camp, at daybreak, turned the left of the line where the 8th corps lay, and taking it in reverse, swept it back, the rout soon communicating to the 19th corps, which stood next. The 6th corps had time to rally and offered some resistance, but was finally withdrawn to Middletown, where a new line was taken up and the corps effectively rallied. Here Gen. Sheridan came upon the field. A general advance was ordered, and in the severe conflict which followed this grand rally the men of the 138th were conspicuously brave and active. The loss was two killed and forty wounded. On November 2 the regiment, with other troops, was taken to Philadelphia, where it remained in camp until the 11th, when it returned to Sheridan’s army, then near Winchester. Early in December, however, the corps returned to its place in the army before Petersburg, and during the winter which followed the regiment was stationed at Fort Dushane, an earthwork on the rear line of defenses near the Weldon railroad.

In the series of marches and battles which began on April 1, 1865, and closed by the surrender at Appomattox on the 9th day of the same month, the regiment actively participated, sustaining a loss of three killed and twenty-three wounded. About two weeks after Lee’s surrender the 6th corps made a forced march of a hundred miles to Danville, Virginia, to the support of Sherman. But the latter’s veterans were able to attend to the business in hand; the cooperation of the 6th corps was not needed, and, with other troops, the regiment returned to Richmond by rail and thence marched to the vicinity of Washington, D.C., where, on June 23, it was mustered out of service.

The Bedford county men who served in this regiment were as follows:

Of the ten companies comprising this regiment, C, D and F were composed of men from Somerset county. They were recruited in the summer of 1862, and rendezvoused at Camp Curtins where, during the last week in August, they were mustered into service for a term of three years.

On September 2, under the command of Col. Robert P. Cummins, of Somerset county, the regiment was ordered to Washington, and upon its arrival was employed in the construction of Fort Stevens, digging rifle-pits, and clearing away the forest in front. About the middle of the month it moved to Frederick, Maryland, where it was employed in guarding the town, erecting hospital tents, and in caring for the wounded from the bloody fields of South Mountain and Antietam. Early in October, however, the regiment was ordered to report to Gen. Meade, in command of the Pennsylvania reserves, which then formed the 3d division of the 1st corps, and was by him assigned to the 2d brigade, composed of the 3d, 4th, 7th and 8th regiments.

In the movement which resulted in the disastrous battle at Fredericksburg, the reserves formed part of Franklin’s grand division. The Rappahannock was crossed on December 12, and early on the following morning the line of battle was formed. A few moments later Col. Cummins appeared upon the field. He had been sick in hospital at Washington, but, learning that a battle was imminent, though not yet recovered, proceeded to the front and arrived in time to lead his regiment in this its first battle. The regiment and division fought desperately, but without avail, and after a charge in which the 142d lost two hundred and fifty men killed and wounded of the five hundred and fifty who stood in ranks in the morning, the troops of Meade’s division retired to the position which had been occupied on the previous day, where they remained until the army recrossed the river on the night of the 15th. Two days later winter quarters were established at Belle Plain landing.

When Gen. Hooker assumed command of the army in February, 1863, a complete reorganization was made. By these changes the 142d became associated with the 135th, 151st and the 121st Penn. regiments, which constituted the 1st brigade of the 3d division. During the Chancellorsville campaign this command performed some heavy marching in a diversion made in favor of Hooker, but did not reach the field of battle until after disaster had befallen the Union arms. Three days later, it, with the rest of the army, recrossed the river and returned to the old camping-ground.

Before the beginning of the march which ended at Gettysburg, Gen. Doubleday succeeded to the command of the 1st corps, Gen. Rowley to that of the 3d division, and Col. Biddle of the 1st brigade. Upon the arrival of the brigade at Gettysburg, on July 1, it was formed to the left of the wood where Gen. Reynolds fell, and soon became the target of the enemy’s batteries in front and right flank. Its position was frequently shifted to avoid the fire, but it stubbornly held its ground. Finally, in the terrible conflict which followed the advance movements of the enemy in overwhelming force, the 1st brigade, with ranks thinned and broken, was forced to yield its position. Col. Biddle, seizing a stand of colors, gallantly rode forward, and the line instinctively about-wheeled and followed him. The horse of Col. Biddle was shot. Col. Cummins fell mortally wounded (his horse had been killed a few minutes previously), and near him fell the acting-adjutant of the regiment, Lieut. Tucker. The regiment fell back slowly toward the seminary, joining a mass of men from various brigades and divisions who, though in some confusion, were holding and continued to hold the position until the batteries were withdrawn, and until the enemy, moving along the road south of the seminary, had completely flanked the position. As the troops retired through the town they were subjected to a severe fire from a flanking column, which was sheltered by fences and buildings. On the 2d the regiment was held in reserve just back of the cemetery, on the Tarrytown road, and on the 3d it was posted midway between the cemetery and Round Top, but, although exposed to a heavy fire from the enemy’s artillery, its losses were slight after the first day’s fighting. The loss to the regiment in the entire battle was fifteen killed, one hundred and twenty-six wounded, and eight-four missing and prisoners.

Subsequently, the regiment, with the army, participated in various maneuvers, marches and counter-marches, and finally passed the winter in the vicinity of Culpepper, Virginia. While stationed there it was assigned to Stone’s brigade, and soon after, upon the breaking up of the 1st corps, it became part of the 5th corps. With this corps during the year 1864, it was engaged in the battles in the Wilderness, at Spottsylvania C.H., North Anna, Bethesda Church, Tolopotomy creek, the passage of the swamps of the Chickahominy and James rivers, siege of Petersburg, the construction of Fort Hell, two raids upon the Weldon railroad, and the action at Peeble’s Farm.

With the exception of a sharp fight on February 6, 1865, at Dabney’s Mills, in which the regiment suffered considerable loss, it remained in quarters near Petersburg from December until the opening of the spring campaign. This began on March 30, and closed ten days later by the surrender of the rebel army under Lee at Appomattox. After the surrender, the brigade of which the regiment formed part was placed in charge of rebel property, which it escorted to Burkesville station. From thence, after a two weeks’ rest, it marched via Petersburg and Richmond to the vicinity of Washington, where, after participating in the grand review, the regiment was mustered out of service on May 29.
Its members from Somerset county were as follows:

ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIRST REGIMENT.

(DRAFTED MILITIA.)

This regiment, which was organized at Camp Curtin about the middle of November, 1862, to serve for a period of nine months, contained a large number of Somerset county men, and one company from the county of Bedford. It moved from Camp Curtin on November 27, and proceeding by rail and water via Washington and Norfolk, arrived at Suffolk, Virginia, early in December.

On the 28th of that month it marched from Suffolk to Ballard’s Landing on the Chowan river, and thence proceeded by transports to New Berne, North Carolina, arriving January 1, 1863, It was soon after assigned to Spinola’s (Keystone) brigade, of the 3d division, 18th corps. Thereafter the regiment remained in Gen. Foster’s department, participating in various marches and skirmishes in the region traversed by the Tar and Pamlico rivers, until the close of June, when the brigade was ordered to Fortress Monroe, to join in a demonstration toward Richmond, Virginia, as a diversion in favor of the Union army at Gettysburg. It remained in the vicinity of White House, on the Pamunkey river, until July 7, when it was ordered to Harper’s Ferry, arriving on the 9th. Lee’s rebel army was then in full retreat. On the 11th the regiment marched to Boonsboro, and thence to a position in a pass of the South Mountain, where it remained until after the enemy had escaped into Virginia. It then moved to Frederick, and, on August 3, was ordered to Harrisburg, where from the 6th to the 8th its members were mustered out.

Following are the names of men from the two counties who served in the regiment. Cos. E, H and K were made up of residents of Somerset, while Co. I contained those from Bedford.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOURTH REGIMENT.

Co. A of this regiment was recruited in Bedford county and was mustered into the service of the United States for a term of three years, May 12, 1864. Of the regiment’s history, Bates, in his "History of Pennsylvania Volunteers," says:
Seven companies of this regiment, recruited in various and widely separated sections of the commonwealth for a term of three years, rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, where, in May, 1864, they were organized, and on the 14th of that month moved under command of Maj. Charles Kleckner, to join the Army of the Potomac, coming up with it as it was crossing the Pamunkey river, on the 28th of May. It was immediately assigned to the 2d brigade, 2d division of the 2d corps, and on the day following its arrival was led to battle at Tolopotomy creek. It was engaged in skirmishing on the way to Cold Harbor, and on the second day of the battle led the brigade in two desperate assaults upon the enemy’s works, losing sixty-seven killed and one hundred and thirteen wounded, and leaving some of its dead on the enemy’s intrenchments. * * * For its unflinching bravery it was warmly commended by its brigade commander. For ten days it remained upon the frontline, heavy skirmishing being constantly kept up. It then moved with the corps, and crossing the James, assaulted the enemy’s works on the 16th, repeating the assault on the two following days, and losing in each very heavily. On the 22d the assault was renewed and the brigade, after having charged and gained a position close upon the fortifications, was outflanked and a large number were taken prisoners. In this engagement the regiment lost fifty-two in killed and wounded, and one hundred and fifteen-taken prisoners. Capts. Evans, Haines, Huff and McKeage, and Lieuts. Rahn, Stover, Bryan, and Adjt. Muffly were among the prisoners. Out of five hundred men who stood in the ranks on the banks of the Tolopotomy on the 29th of May, three hundred and fifty, including twelve officers, had been either killed, wounded or taken prisoners in a period of twenty-five days  - a loss unprecedented. Of the number taken prisoners on the 22d, sixty-seven died at Andersonville and a number at Salisbury and Florence. The greater part of the wounded prisoners died at Petersburg.

Near the close of July the handful which remained joined in an expedition to Deep Bottom, where it was engaged in skirmishing for a day, returning on the 29th. On the 16th of August the command again crossed the James, and in the neighborhood of Deep Bottom, after skirmishing during the entire forenoon, made a determined assault, in which it lost, out of ninety-seven engaged, twenty-seven in killed and wounded. Returning to the Petersburg front, the corps, with but little delay, moved out on the Weldon railroad and commenced its destruction. On the afternoon of the 25th the enemy attacked with terrible earnestness, but was three times repulsed with fearful slaughter. In a fourth assault, which he delivered with fresh troops and in overpowering numbers, the little brigade was overborne and compelled to fall back. Lieut.-Col. Kleckner, in command, while at the head of his regiment, cheering on his men, was severely wounded. On the same night the fragment that remained marched back to Petersburg and was placed in the trenches, where it was employed in fatigue duty until near the close of October. In the meantime three new companies (H, I and K) recruited for one year’s service, were added to the regiment, completing its full number. On the 25th of October the regiment marched with the corps to Hatcher’s Run, where, on the 27th, it was hotly engaged, the corps being outflanked and roughly handled. The regiment lost fifteen in killed and wounded. After the battle it returned and was placed in the trenches between Forts Haskell and Steadman. It was here subjected to constant duty in close proximity to the enemy’s lines, where it lost a number in killed and wounded from the unerring fire of his sharpshooters.

In December the regiment moved to the left flank of the army, and here it was joined on January 1, 1865, by Col. John H. Stover, who had been commissioned at its organization and now assumed command. He had previously served as captain in the 10th and major of the 106th. On the 5th of February he led his command to Hatcher’s Run, where, on that and the following day, it was warmly engaged. It encamped on the field and remained there during the winter, the lines being extended to that point. On the 28th of March it broke camp, and on the 1st of April took position in line of battle in front of the enemy. On the 2d, in common with nearly the entire army, it moved to the assault, breaking the enemy’s lines and capturing his works with but small loss. It then moved with the corps in pursuit and skirmished as it went until it reached Appomattox Court House, where the rebel army surrendered. It then marched back to the neighborhood of Washington and participated in the grand review of the armies. On the 2d of June the three companies last added to the command were mustered out, and the remaining seven, which formed the original regiment, on the 14th of July:

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FIFTH REGIMENT.

This regiment, more generally known as the 22d Cav., was formed by the consolidation of a battalion known as the Ringgold Cav., with a battalion reorganized from a force of five companies, which had been called out for a period of six months, at the time of the rebel advance into Pennsylvania in the summer of 1863. Two companies of the Ringgold Cav., A and G of the new regiment, were recruited, in the summer of 1861, in Washington county; four other companies, B, C, E and F, also from Washington county, in the summer of 1862; and one Company, D, from the same-county, in the spring of 1863. These companies had gone into service, as fast as recruited, in West Virginia, and had acted independently, those first entering taking part in the battle of Rich Mountain, in July, 1861, in which the rebels, under command of Gen. Lee, were defeated and driven with severe losses, and in October, at Greenbrier and Romney. Subsequently these companies were engaged in several other spirited actions with the enemy. Thus, at Blue’s Gap, on January 7, 1862; at Bloomery Gap, on February 14; at Strasburg, on March 19; at Winchester, on the 22d of the same month, in which Gen. Shields defeated the rebel Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson, inflicting severe loss; at Columbia Furnace, on April 15; at Two Churches and Rood’s Hill, April 17 and 18; at North River Mills, August 15, and at Dashu’s Mills on November 9. They rendered most efficient service as guards and scouts, during the winter and spring of 1863. When the rebel army invaded Pennsylvania, in June, these companies, with other Union troops in West Virginia, were summoned to the assistance of the Army of the Potomac. They arrived near Williamsport, Maryland, on July 8, where they met some of the enemy’s force, also on the following day at Fairview. The rebel army escaped on the night of the 14th, but was closely followed, and on the 17th the cavalry came up with him near Martinsburg, and fought with his rear guard at White Hall, on the 22d. In West Virginia, the campaigns of 1864 opened early, and on January 3, the enemy was met at Petersburg, where the battalion was engaged, and early in February at Lexington and Moorefield.

The six months’ battalion, which ultimately formed the nucleus of the new regiment, was recruited in June, 1863, and was employed under command of Maj. Morrow, in guarding the fords of the Susquehanna, above and below Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and in picketing the roads leading into the Cumberland valley. Soon after the defeat of the rebel army at Gettysburg, it was pushed up the valley in pursuit, and until the close of its term of service was engaged with other cavalry commands in holding the Shenandoah valley. Upon its muster-out, in February, 1864, the battalion was reorganized at a camp near Chambersburg, and its members sworn in for a term of three years. On the 22d of that month, the Ringgold battalion was united with these reorganized companies, and a regimental organization effected by the choice of the following field officers: Jacob Higgins, colonel; A. J. Greenfield, lieutenant-colonel; George T. Work, Elias S. Troxell and Henry A. Myers, majors.

The battalion at Chambersburg, under Maj. Troxell, proceeded to Martinsburg, Virginia, on March 1, thence to Cumberland, where it joined the Ringgold battalion. Early in April, that portion of the regiment not mounted (amounting to about seven hundred men) proceeded, under command of Lieut.-Col. Greenfield, to a camp of rendezvous for cavalry in Pleasant Valley, Maryland, where it received horses and equipments. About the middle of May, this detachment was moved to Camp Stoneman, near Washington, D.C. Four weeks later, however, it was ordered to Martinsburg, Virginia, where upon its arrival it was temporarily armed with muskets and, under command of Maj. Troxell, was assigned to the infantry brigade commanded by Col. Mulligan, who soon after marched his forces to Leetown, to meet the threatened advance of the enemy under Early. On the morning of July 3, the brigade was furiously attacked by a largely superior force. With the most determined bravery, Mulligan’s little band stood its ground, and for eight hours held the enemy at bay, keeping open the route of retreat for Sigel at Martinsburg, and thereby assuring the safety of the army and its material. Though fighting as infantry, Col. Mulligan had such confidence in this cavalry detachment that it was placed at the fore front, where it repelled repeated assaults of the enemy. After participating in various other marches and skirmishes with the infantry columns, the detachment was ordered to the camp at Pleasant Valley for the purpose of being mounted and thoroughly equipped as cavalry. It left that camp on August 8, and, joining the force of Gen. Torbert, led the advance of Gen. Sheridan, who had just then been put in command of the entire army in the Shenandoah valley. During the movements which followed, it took part in the fight at Kernstown on the 21st, where the men displayed great steadiness and gallantry, repelling repeated assaults of a superior force. On the three following days it was warmly engaged at Opequan and Berryville, and on the 25th, at Charlestown, sustaining considerable loss. On the 26th, under a severe artillery fire, it participated in an attack upon the enemy’s position, charging his lines, and capturing a number of prisoners.

Soon afterward the detachment was ordered to Hagerstown, where it joined the detachment which had been left at Cumberland in April. The latter had been in constant and active service during the entire summer, taking part in the campaign of Gen. Hunter against Lynchburg, and serving in the brigade commanded by Col. Higgins, under Gens. Sigel and Crook, with whom it fought in the battles of Newmarket and Kernstown on July 27. Subsequently it joined the division of Gen. Averell, and with him made a forced march in pursuit of the rebel McCausland after the burning of Chambersburg, coming up with him at Moorefield, where a decisive battle was fought, and the rebel leader was put to rout, losing many men and all his guns.

After the union of the two detachments at Hagerstown, the entire regiment, under command of Lieut.-Col. Greenfield, advanced with Gen. Averell to Martinsburg. On August 31, the division was attacked, and after a severe engagement was driven toward Falling Waters. On September 2, it again advanced to Darkesville, and boldly attacked, capturing the enemy’s wagon-train. On the 3d at Bunker Hill, and on the 4th at Stephenson’s Depot, it was engaged with superior forces of infantry and cavalry, and on the 7th charged the enemy at Darkesville, driving him in confusion. On the 12th it was again engaged in action at Bunker Hill, and on the 15th at Bucklestown, in each of which the regiment bore itself most gallantly.

Gen. Sheridan was now ready to move upon Early with all his forces. On September 18 the 22d charged the enemy at Martinsburg, and early on the following morning pursued his retreating forces toward Winchester. On the same day (September 19) Sheridan attacked at the Opequan, and at evening the regiment joined in the cavalry charge which finally routed the rebel army, and sent him in flight and confusion through Winchester, the 22d capturing a battery and eighty men. Following the retreating enemy, it came up with him at Fisher’s Hill, where it participated in the fierce fighting which again routed the enemy, and on the 26th pushed the advantage by attacking at Mount Vernon Forge. On the 27th the division was surprised while in camp, by a heavy body of the enemy. The 22d rallied, under a destructive fire, and delivered a most determined charge, driving its assailants back in disorder, and held the ground in face of an overwhelming force, thereby saving the entire division train. Its loss was very severe. At Cedar creek, on the 19th of October, it was again fiercely engaged, losing a number in killed and wounded.

During the latter part of October the regiment was sent in charge of a train bearing the sick and wounded to Martinsburg, where it remained until the 20th of December. It was then ordered to New creek, and during the winter was actively engaged in the counties of Hampshire, Hardy and Pendleton, operating against roving bands of the enemy infesting the mountains of that region, capturing and driving them away, and completely freeing the country from their presence. To accomplish this, the command was kept almost constantly in the saddle, and was exposed to great hardships and privations, in moving over mountain roads covered with ice and snow and swept by wintry blasts.

Their term having expired, nearly one-half of the men were mustered out in April, 1865. The remainder, under command of Lieut.-Col. Greenfield, continued in service until near the close of June, when it was consolidated with a portion of the 18th regiment, forming the 3d Provisional Cav. The new command served in West Virginia until the 31st of October, 1865, when it was mustered out at Cumberland, Maryland.

The Bedford county men who served in this regiment were as follows:

TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTH REGIMENT.

The ranks of Cos. H and K of this regiment were filled by Bedford county men. They were mustered into the service of the United States, for one year, at Camp Curtin, during the first week in September, 1864, and on the 13th of the same month started, with the regiment, for the front in Virginia. At Bermuda hundred the regiment was assigned to a provisional brigade, and remained there until the 27th of November, when it was ordered to report to the Army of the Potomac. Ultimately it became part of the 1st brigade, of Hartranft’s (3d) division, 9th army corps. The winter was passed in comparative quietness, the division being held in reserve and posted in rear of the 9th corps line.

However, when, on the morning of the 25th of March, 1865, the Union lines at Fort Steadman were broken and driven back, the fort and several batteries captured, Hartranft’s division was equal to the emergency. Hurriedly called into line, this division advanced to the gap made by the rebel onset, and, pouring in upon the enemy a most destructive fire, held him in check until other Union troops were brought up within close supporting distance." At this juncture Gen. Hartranft received an order from Gen. Parke, in command of the corps, to retake the lost lines, and his troops being in readiness he gave the order to assault. Before Col. Diven (the brigade commander) could reach Lieut. Col. Heintzelman (who was in command of the regiment) with the order to advance, the lines began to move forward. Eager to be with the foremost, without awaiting orders, Heintzelman gave the signal to advance, and in the most gallant manner, battery 12 and the lines to the right and left of it were carried. In the folds of the battery, one hundred prisoners were taken, and along the line, two hundred and fifty more, including a colonel, adjutant and several line officers." The attack had been so sudden, and the disaster was so appalling, that when it was learned that this single division, almost unaided, had successfully stemmed the current of misfortune, and had retrieved all that was lost, the feeling of exultation knew no bounds, and for his conspicuous gallantry in recapturing Fort Steadman Brig.-Gen. Hartranft was at once brevetted major-general of volunteers.

In the brief campaign which closed at Appomattox, on the 9th of April, following, the regiment was actively engaged. It passed through Petersburg close upon the heels of the retreating rebel army, and was at Nottoway Court House, when Lee surrendered. Subsequently it proceeded to Alexandria, Virginia, via Petersburg and City Point, where it was mustered out June 1.

The officers and enlisted men from Bedford county who served in this regiment were as follows:

What is a most remarkable fact, and without a parallel, so far as the observation of the writer extends, every surviving member of this company was honorably discharged, either by general orders, on account of wounds or disability, or at final muster-out.

SECOND CAVALRY.

The following is a list of Bedford county men who enlisted in September, 1861, under Lieut. William W. Anderson. They were mustered into the United States service in October, 1861, forming part of Co. E, 2d Penn. Cav. (the 59th in the line) commanded by Col. R. Butler Price. The remainder of the company was recruited in Philadelphia and other portions of the state. Lieut. Anderson was afterward promoted to captain of Co. F, and finally to major of the 20th Penn. Cav. See commissioned officers in the following "miscellaneous list." The 2d Penn. Cav, served in the 2d Cav. division (Gregg’s), Cav. corps, Army of the Potomac, and performed most gallant service:

Franklin Miller, disch. in 1864. Jacob C. Smith, vet.; disch. in 1865. William Baughman, died in service. William S. Suiters, disch. in 1864. Hayes Irvine, disch. in 1864. F. M.

Jonah Nycum, Upton Nycum and Augustus Hemming, died in service.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM M. SCHEOCK’S COMPANY.

In the month of June, 1863, President Lincoln issued a call for Pennsylvania volunteers to serve for a period of six months. Under this call Capt. William M. Schrock, of New Centreville, in five days recruited a company numbering eighty men, rank and file. On the 24th of the same month -- June, 1863 -- a United States mustering officer appeared at the rendezvous (New Centreville) and duly mustered the company into service. Thus, it was the only organization mustered into the service of the United States within the limits of the county during the war.

Without arms, but under strict discipline, the company remained at New Centreville until July 6, when it was ordered to proceed to Berlin, Pennsylvania, by way of Somerset, with orders on the county commissioners for arms and ammunition. At Berlin the company was quartered in a vacant house located on East Diamond. It appears that the company was sent to that point to guard against an anticipated invasion by hostile foraging parties sent out from Maryland. On July 9 the company was ordered to report at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, where large numbers of troops were assembled under the command of Gen. Miles. After remaining in camp several weeks Capt. Schrock’s command was ordered into the town of Huntingdon, where, with quarters in the court-house yard, it performed provost duty. On August 31 the captain, second lieutenant and sixteen men were drafted for duty at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Seventeen days later the company was ordered to Harrisburg and from that city it was sent forward to Gettysburg, where it guarded the field hospitals until October 23. Afterward, until December 11, its members performed provost duty in various parts of the state. From December 11 until January 8, 1864, the company was in charge of the Soldiers’ Retreat at Harrisburg. From date of muster in until October 2, this organization was known and designated as an independent company. After the last mentioned date it was attached to the 1st battalion six months Penn. Vols. as Co. H. The company was mustered out of service at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1864.

From the facts that Bates, in his "History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers," makes no mention of this company, that government officials refuse to furnish a list of members’ names, etc., from original rolls, and that all papers relating to the company in possession of its officers have been destroyed by fire, it has been extremely difficult to ascertain anything definite concerning this company of Somerset county men. Hence we add that in compiling the foregoing account, as well as the roster which follows, Capt. Schrock has depended largely upon his memory. Therefore he says, "some inaccuracies may appear, but in the main the names, dates, etc., are correct. Some fifteen or twenty of the men re-enlisted a few days before muster out, but their names, etc., cannot be designated with exactness."

MISCELLANEOUS LIST.

Besides the companies and regiments of which mention has already been made, there were others containing Bedford and Somerset county soldiers whose record is equally as bright, though they were organizations in each of which these counties had but few representatives.
