June 1, took part in the battle of Fair Oaks, and after the battles of Gaine's Mill and Mechan- icsville, fell back and took part in the battles of Peach Orchard and Savage Station, on June 29th. Then crossed White Oak swamp and took part in the battles of Glendale and Nelson's Farm, on June 30th, thence to Malvern Hill, and July 1st, engaged in that fight. The regiment was then or- dered to Harrison's Landing, where they were allowed a month of comparative quiet, but in August they were again on the march to Chain Bridge, where they remained one day, thence by a forced march for the second battle of Bull Run. Arriving at Centerville, they remained over night, and the next morning moved out on a reconnoisance, thence back to Centreville and from there to Fairfax Court House.
Here they were ordered. to retreat towards Washington, and occupied the unenviable posi- tion of rear guard on the Vienna road during the retreat. Arriving in Washington, they laid in Tannerly Town a few days, when they were or- dered to Frederick City, and thence across the country, and took part in the battle of South Mountain; thence on to Antietam, and were en- gaged in the battle at that place, September 17th, in which the company suffered quite severely. Laid on the field of battle several days after the fight; then moved down to Harper's Ferry where they laid in camp a few weeks. The next move was up the London valley, and encamped at Fal.

mouth till December 13th, when they were en- gaged in the first battle of Fredericksburg, where they were under artillery fire all day. After the battle they returned to their old quarters at Fal- mouth where they remained all winter. In May, 1863, they crossed the river, and under General Sedgwick assisted in the capture of Fredericks- burg, May 3d, and held it till Hooker's defeat, when they were compelled to abandon the con- quest and recross the river, encamping directly opposite Fredericksburg. There they remained till June, when they took up the line of march through Virginia, via Stafford Court House, Opequan creek and Centreville, crossing the river at Edward's Ferry to Frederick City, thence by a forced march of thirty-five miles to Union Town and from there to Gettysburg, where on the even- ing of July 2d they were engaged in the battle. Of the one hundred strong and stout-hearted sons of Washington county who bade farewell to home and friends at the head of Lake St. Croix on that April morning over two years be- fore, by reason of sickness, shot and shell only thirty-five answered to the roll-call on the eve of that battle, and of these, twenty-two of the bravest were laid low during the first fifteen minutes. On the next day the little remnant of this com- pany was engaged in the famous charge of ยท Pickett, of Longstreet's corps, and at the close of the fight but one sergeant, two corporals and three privates were fit for duty. But those slightly wounded fell in with their comrades in pursuit of the retreating Lee. They were then ordered to New York city to assist in quelling the draft riots, and afterwards took part in Gen. Meade's "Mine River Campaign," and from thence to Washington, and on the way were en- gaged in the battle of Bristow Station. Re- mained in Washington till February, 1864, when the surviving few, on account of patriotism and courage, were given a banquet and reception and sent to Fort Snelling to be mustered out, which was done May 5th, 1864.

RETURN RECEPTION.
On the return of Company B, April 25th, 1864, a committee of ladies was appointed to make ar- rangements for a fitting reception. . It was a cold day, but a large number of citizens responded to the call. The company was met at the city limits by the mayor and common council, and a large concourse of citizens. Upon arrival at the Myrtle street church the company was hailed by three times three by the crowd, composed of al- most every inhabitant of Stillwater and adjacent country. Applause greeted them at almost every step.
A triumphal arch was erected across Main street at the foot of Chestnut, and beautifully decorated with flags and evergreens, and bearing the names of twenty-one hard fought battles in which these brave men had won glory for them- selves and the state of their adoption.
As the veterans passed through the arch, the shout of the assembled people swelled to its ut- most volume, bearing accents of true loyalty; but the most hearty welcome, that which best com- pensated for the hardships and privations of a soldier's life, was witnessed at the St. Croix house, where the ladies of the city had prepared a sumptuous repast. All arms being disposed of and breaking ranks, the soldiers mingled with their relatives and more immediate acquaintances.
The dining room of the hotel was nicely deco- rated with wreaths of evergreen and with the names of battles in which the First and Second regiments had participated. Thirteen girls, taste- fully adorned with stripes and stars, and repre- senting the thirteen original states, acted as waiters. The tables were decorated with two magnificent pyramids prepared by Mrs. Governor Holcombe and Mrs. Captain A. J. Van Vorhes, hearing the mottoes: "The Minnesota First, the Bravest of the Brave." "Welcome Home." "In Memory of the Honored Dead of Company B."
