FIRST REGIMENT INFANTRY.
8th, and immediately entered into the contest then in progress, one of the severest of the campaign. The 1st Maryland alone sustained a loss of fifty-three in killed, wounded and missing. Three of its color bearers were successively shot down.
Two of the Maryland Brigade commanders were also successively shot down, as well as the Division commander.
From the 8th to the 19th of May, the regiment was engaged in the constant manœu- vers and actions incident to the movements of the Army of the Potomac.
On the 19th instant the original members, who had not re-enlisted for the war, received orders to return home to be mustered out after three years' service.
About the same time the veterans of the 1st Maryland Infantry Regiment, who had re-enlisted for the war, returned to rejoin the Maryland Brigade with the 5th Army Corps. On the march to the front with some heavy artillery regiments, they were attacked three miles from Spottsylvania Court House by Hood's Division of Ewell's Corps of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.
Col. Dushane promptly formed the Veterans without waiting for orders and made a counter charge. The artillery regiments' coming up promptly under General R. O. Tyler, the enemy were repulsed, and retreated from the field, leaving their dead and wounded behind them.
This action was known as the battle of "Harris' Farm;" the loss sustained by 1st Maryland Regiment in the engagement was thirty-seven men killed, wounded and missing. On the morning of the 21st, the second of the series of flank movements by General Grant took place.
The 1st Regiment and the Maryland Brigade, moving with the Fifth Army Corps, par- ticipated in all of the severe and steady fighting from the 21st of May.
Cold Harbor was occupied by the Army of the Potomac on the 1st day of June. In the fight that followed at Cold Harbor the 1st Regiment conducted itself with great gallantry.
Continuing its flank movement to the left, the whole Army of the Potomac was on the south bank of the James river by the 16th day of June, 1864.
On the 17th day of June the regiment and brigade had reached the lines before Petersburg and participated in the first assault upon the enemy's lines at Petersburg; and, in fact, in all of the preliminary movements to capture the lines of communication and the stronghold itself at Petersburg, the 1st Maryland Infantry took a conspicuous part and suffered heavily.
On the 14th day of August, 1864, the regiment and brigade took part in the move- ments against the Weldon railroad, resulting in the battle known as the battle of the Weldon railroad.
On the 18th, in the open field engagement which lasted for several hours, the 1st Regiment suffered severely, the casualties in killed, wounded and missing amounting to fifty-seven. Every member of the color guard received severe wounds in this battle.
In the series of engagements incident to the capture and holding of the Weldon railroad, one of the main arteries used in supplying Lee's army, the regiment suffered severe loss, including the loss of the gallant Colonel Dushane, who was killed by a solid shot on the 21st.
14
FIRST REGIMENT INFANTRY.
On the 16th day of September the regiment assisted in the repulse of another attempt of the enemy to dislodge the 5th Army Corps from the Weldon railroad.
On the 7th of December, 1864, the regiment, with the brigade and 5th Army Corps, also accompanied by General Greggs' division of cavalry, cut loose from the Army of the Potomac, and started on a mid-winter raid to effectually destroy the Weldon railroad, well towards the North Carolina line, over which Lee's army was still drawing large supplies, by making a wide detour from the railroad terminus.
The column marched nineteen miles to the Nottoway river, which it crossed on a pontoon bridge, and bivouacked for a part of the night; starting before daylight, the column pushed forward fifteen miles to the Halifax road, preceded by the cavalry, who drove before them small bodies of the enemy, who attempted to harrass and impede the rapid movements of the infantry.
At six P. M. on the evening of the 8th, the column moved down upon the Weldon railroad and began its destruction southward from the bridge across the Nottoway, con- tinuing its work day and night, until it reached Hicksford on the Meherrin river, on the. 9th, where the enemy were found in force behind strong earthworks on the opposite side of the river.
The object of the raid having been effectually accomplished, the column started back for Petersburg, marching all day over wretched roads, through a storm of sleet and snow, a distance of twenty miles, and bivouacked for the night; resuming the march the next day, the weather was found to be intensely cold, and the regiment suffered severely from exposure.
The column reached Petersburg in six days from the time of starting, after forced marches night and day over horrible roads and in a constant storm of sleet and snow, during the severest winter of the Civil War, but the object of the raid had been thor- oughly accomplished, and the Weldon railroad ceased to be an artery over which supplies could be brought to Lee's beleaguered army.
During all of the movements to destroy the Weldon railroad the 1st Regiment and Maryland Brigade did their full share in the fighting, marching and suffering incident to campaigning in the inclement weather of the winter season.
On the 5th day of February, 1865, the regiment and brigade, with the 5th Army Corps, entered on the campaign along Hatcher's Run for the purpose of destroying the South Side Railroad, culminating in the battle of Dabney's Mills, in which the 1st Regiment suf- fered severe loss, including its gallant Colonel Wilson, killed in the thickest of the fight on the 27th of March, 1865 ; the 1st Regiment and Maryland Brigade, with the 5th Army Corps and Sheridan's Cavalry, under the command of General Sheridan, marched around the enemy's right flank in the last grand movement inaugurated by General Grant, cul- minating in the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, the end of the Civil War and the preservation of the Federal Union.
The battle of White Oak Road was followed by the splendid victory at Five Forks, resulting in the capture of 6000 prisoners, the loss of the enemy's artillery-in fact, their utter rout and demoralization.
This battle rendered the position of Lee's army at Petersburg untenable, and caused its evacuation simultaneously with that of the Confederate capital at Richmond.
15
FIRST REGIMENT INFANTRY.
The Army of the Potomac promptly pursued the retreating army of Lee, capturing thousands of his men, with artillery and munitions of war. Night and day the pursuit was continued until, on the ninth day of April, 1865, the enemy was brought to bay at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, and compelled to surrender the last remnant of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
The first division of the 5th Army Corps was detailed to receive the arms surrendered, consisting of seventeen thousand stands of small arms, one hundred and fifty-seven pieces of artillery, and seventy-one battle flags.
On the 15th day of April, the 1st Regiment left Appomattox Court House with the 5th Army Corps on its return to Washington, passing through the Confederate capital at Richmond en route.
On the 23d day of May, 1865, the 1st Regiment formed a part of that splendid army of 100,000 men from the Army of the Potomac who passed in review at the capital of the nation at Washington before the President of the United States and General Grant.
On the 2d day of July, 1865, the 1st Maryland Regiment of veteran infantry was mustered out of the military service of the United States, at Arlington Heights, Virginia, and proceeded thence to Baltimore, Maryland, where the regiment was paid off and finally discharged.
The death casualties incurred by the 1st Maryland Infantry were as follows, viz. : killed in action, eight (8) commissioned officers and one hundred and ten (110) enlisted men ; total, one hundred and eighteen (118). Died of disease, wounds, etc., one (1) commissioned officer and one hundred and forty-eight (148) enlisted men ; total, one hundred and forty-nine (149), or an aggregate loss of two hundred and sixty-seven (267).
