CHAPTER XVII.
THE BRILLIANT RECORD OF COMPANIES C AND F 15TH N. J. VOLUNTEERS.
HE 15th regiment of New Jersey volunteer infantry was raised in the summer of 1862, in the northwestern part of the State, three companies going from Sussex county, two each from Morris, Hunterdon and Warren and one from Somerset. The men were of a high grade of character and intelligence, and were dis- ciplined by veteran officers. The colonels of the regi- ment at different times were Samuel Fowler, A. C. M. Pennington jr. (never mustered) and William H. Pen- rose. Edmund D. Halsey was commissioned adjutant January Ist 1864, having been first lieutenant of Com- pany D, second lieutenant of Company F, sergeant major, and private in Company K.
The regiment was mustered in on the 25th of August 1862 and immediately went to the front. Its first duty was building fortifications at Tenallytown, Md., Lee be- ing then on his northern march which was stopped by the battle of Antietam. At the end of September the 15th joined the army of the Potomac, and from this time to the close of the war it shared the hard work, the de- feats and the victories of that great army, being attached to the first brigade, first division, sixth corps.
The regiment was first under fire at Fredericksburg, December 13th 1862, having crossed the Rappahannock below the town and occupied a ravine, behaving admira- bly under a cannonade by which several were wounded. The next morning, before daylight, the 15th was de- ployed as skirmishers, within hearing of the voices of the enemy. At sunrise the skirmish line opened fire. In the bloody battle thus introduced the Morris county com- panies fared less hardly than some portions of the line, but Sergeant Major Fowler and Alexander S. Sergeant of Company F were killed and several were severely wounded. The next morning the regiment was relieved by the 121st New York.
The tedious " mud march " which followed the Fred- ericksburg disaster preluded a dismal winter in camp at White Oak Church, typhoid fever prevailing and making sad inroads upon the companies from Morris, who were thereafter notably fortunate in the matter of health.
The next fighting was the Chancellorsville campaign. This took the 15th across the Rappahannock River be- low Fredericksburg as before, the regiment forming the extreme left of the sixth corps in the action of May 3d, supporting a battery and aiding to prevent the enemy from turning the left flank of Hooker's army. In this service the 15th suffered considerable loss. Advancing in the afternoon to Salem Church this regiment drove the enemy by a gallant charge, and held its ground till ordered back at night. It is believed that after this"en-

counter few regiments besides the 15th New Jersey suc- fore them. One confederate brigade was enough to ceeded in bringing off all their wounded. This noble scatter the thin skirmish line of the Jerseymen, but the achievement in the case of the 15th is largely credited to latter yielded only with the most stubborn resistance, some of the 15th holding their ground so long as to be surrounded and captured. the brave and tireless exertions of the chaplain. The next day the army began its retreat to the old camp.
In the movement at Fredericksburg in June to divert the attention of the enemy the 15th covered the crossing of the Rappahannock River, removing the pontoon bridge in the face of the enemy and in a driving rain. It fought at Gettysburg, and participated in the advances and re- treats that consumed the latter part of 1863.
The following winter was passed in camp at Brandy Station, Va., in picket and fatigue duty, interrupted by an expedition of the brigade to Madison Court-house, which involved no fighting. A log church edifice was built in the camp, in which literary as well as religious exercises were held; a "church " of 130 members was organized, to which 46 were added by conversion.
The regiment broke camp on the 4th of May 1864, and immediately plunged into the terrible Wilderness campaign. On the 8th, with the 3d N. J., the 15th made a splendid charge at Spottsylvania Court-house, to develop the position and strength of the rebel force. It was repulsed with terrible loss, 101 men being killed or wounded. The next day the 15th and the ist had a sharp encounter with the rebel skirmishers in a movement on the enemy's right flank. On the roth these regiments drove in the rebel skirmish line, but were stopped by the fortifications at the "bloody angle." They were re- inforced and renewed the attack, but were again repulsed, the entrenchments of the enemy at this point being one of the strongest field works ever attacked by the army. On the same day the sixth corps carried a part of the enemy's line, but had to abandon it and many prisoners, on account of the repulse of the other troops, attacking on either hand. The two regiments mentioned, however, held the ground taken by them till relieved after dark.
On the 12th the 6th corps assaulted the " bloody angle," with the 15th regiment on the extreme right of the front line. Charging through a murderous fire, this regiment broke through the strong line of the enemy, capturing prisoners and a stand of colors. Unsupported, and enfiladed from neighboring works not taken, the brave little Union force was compelled to retire, having lost more than one-half of the rank and file and seven of its best officers. "Out of 429 men and 14 line officers, who crossed the Rapidan on the 4th, only 122 men and four line officers remained."
The 15th shared in the advance to Petersburg which followed the retreat of the rebels from Spottsylvania, and afterward fought under Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley. At Hanover Court-house the decimated ranks were in part filled with the re-enlisted veterans of the 2nd, and at Cold Harbor the re enlisted veterans of the 3d were added, the original term of service of those or- ganizations having expired. On the 17th of August this regiment so stubbornly held in check the army of Early and Longstreet that the latter actually formed for an attack in the belief that Sheridan's whole force was be-
At the battle of Opequan, on the 19th of September 1864, this regiment, in the opinion of a division com- mander, saved the day by holding a hill and checking the advance of the enemy during a temporary reverse to the Union line, after which Sheridan's men rallied to one of the most important victories of the war.
At Fisher's Hill, September 22nd, the Ist New Jersey brigade, by a most brilliant charge, carried a rebel stronghold, capturing a number of guns; and at Cedar Creek on the 19th of October occupied the most advanced and difficult position, one of the field officers of the 15th being killed and the other two wounded, while the rank and file suffered severely. After this battle the regiment rejoined the army before Petersburg, and participated in the capture of that city and Richmond and other closing events of the war. It was present at the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, April 9th, and was mustered out at Hall's Hill, Va., June 22nd 1865. One of the field offi- cers of the 15th, from whom we have derived the fore- going facts, summarizes the brilliant record of the regi- ment as follows:
" In the death grapples of army with army, from 1862 to 1865, it bore the stars and stripes with honor and dis- tinction. No regiment fought with more tenacious cour- age, or presented a more steady and unbroken front to the foe. Where the fire was hottest, the charge most im- petuous, the resistance most stubborn, the carnage most fearful, it was found. It was never ordered to take a po- sition that it did not reach it. It was never required to hold a post that it did not hold it. It never assaulted a line of the enemy that it did not drive it. It never charged a rebel work that it did not reach it. * * Such a record must be traced in blood. When the roll is called, three hundred and sixty-one times it must be answered-' Dead on the field of honor.' "
The statistics of this regiment are as follows:
Officers at muster-in, 38; enlisted men ditto, 909; officers gained, 72; enlisted men gained, 852; total strength, 1,871; officers mustered out, 18; enlisted men mustered out, 398; died of disease, 99; died of wounds, 247; died in prison, 15; total deaths, 361.
