advance reached the Gap early in the afternoon of August 28th, the enemy was found to be already in full possession : indeed, as it afterwards transpired, more than half of the Rebel army was there confronted by this single division. Keeping up a bold front until after night-fall. Gen. Rickett began a retreat to Manassas battlefield, which was reached on the evening of August 29th, after an exhausting march of about thirty miles. The next day the regiment, being on the left of the brigade and nearest the enemy, suffered quite severely from a sharp musket-fire of the enemy concealed in a dense under-growth, losing one officer (Lieut. John P. Rudd) and a number of the men killed and wounded in a very short time. It was then ordered to retire behind an embankment and hold its position, which was successfully done, notwithstanding a fierce attempt to dislodge it. The brigade of Gen. Duryee, to which the regiment was attached, was moved to a new position : it remained here until late in the afternoon, when it was compelled to retreat before the murderous fire of a whole division of the enemy. This retreat continued with the rest of Pope's army to Centerville, the regiment having lost during the day five killed, forty-one wounded and forty-eight missing ; most of the latter were afterward found to have been taken prisoners, although some were never heard of again, and were undoubtedly killed at the commencement of the retreat.
A march to Fairfax Court House, a hurried advance to Chantilly on Sept. 1st in a terrific thunderstorm and the retreat to Washington followed. After four days in the vicinity of Washington and Maryland, a campaign began. of which the first important event was the battle of South Mountain on the 14th of Sep- tember. While Reno's attack was progressing in front, Duryee's brigade was ordered to the extreme right. and charged up the mountain side, the 104th lead- ing the attack through nettles and tangled underbrush, and over steep and rugged rocks. with an impetuosity so great that they had gained the crest of the hill and secured a position on the flank of the enemy almost before it occurred to the latter that they were in danger of an attack in front, causing a precipitate retreat of the Rebels from that part of the battlefield.
On the evening of the tenth of September position was taken upon the field at Antietam, and the men lay down upon their arms for a few hours. At early dawn the line was formed and the attack began, under the immediate eye of Gen. Hooker. Gen. Duryee's Brigade had been designated as reserve the night before. but now found itself upon the front and without any reserve. Advancing steadily. in a position absolutely without any shelter, they were met with a terrific storm of iron and lead, which at last rendered it beyond the power of mortal man to advance further, and the men lay down for temporary shelter. Twice they were driven sul- lenly back, but rallying again each time with desperate energy. they again advanced and held their line until the arrival of reinforcements. about 10 A. M., when they were withdrawn. Near the close of the afternoon the severity of the enemy's cannonade betokened an immediate advance of the Rebel forces, and the 104th, with other regiments, were hurried forward into position to repel the attack. But none canie. and so ended the battle, a drawn game, in what should have been a great Union victory had the other corps carried out their orders with the punc- tuality and vigor which characterized the attack of Hooker's Corps. The loss in this engagement was killed 9. wounded 67.
To this period of marches and battles succeeded the inactivity of camp life at Mercersville, Md., until the 26th of October, when another forward movement
512
began, and crossing again into Virginia, the 7th of December found the regiment on the banks of the Rappahannock River, a few miles below Fredericksburg. During these marches Gen. McClellan had been relieved from, and Gen. Burnside placed in command of the army : Major Gen. John F. Reynolds was now Corps Commander : Brig. Gen. John Gibbon was in command of the Division, and Col. A. R. Root of the 94th N. Y. V. of the brigade, while Col. Prey had succeeded Major Skinner in the command of the regiment.
Crossing the river on the 12th, the regiment went into action below Fred- ericksburg on the 13th of December. The brigade, having been in reserve, was ordered to drive the enemy out of a sunken railroad track, which they did by a gal- lant bayonet charge, capturing about 200 prisoners and driving the Rebels far into the woods beyond. Coolly reforming the regimental line, which had been broken by the impetuosity of the assault, the regiment moved to the right of the brig- ade and there held its position till ordered to retire, which was done slowly and in good order, removing all wounded.
The loss of the regiment at Fredericksburg was, killed 5, wounded 45, miss- ing 3, of which latter number 2 were afterward ascertained to have been killed.
During the night of the 14th of December the army was silently withdrawn to the north bank of the river. and after a few days of waiting in temporary camps. the division of which the regiment formed part was sent into winter quarters near Belle Plain, Virginia, where it remained until about the 1st of May following, the quiet of the winter being only once interrupted by that episode, known ever since as "Burnside's Mud March," which took place on the 20th day of January, 1863.
On the 28th of April the regiment left winter quarters and soon arrived at almost precisely the same point on the Rappahannock River where it crossed before the battle of Fredericksburg, and there a part of the first corps was thrown across the river under the command of Gen. Wadsworth, while the rest of the corps, including this regiment, remained in reserve upon the north bank until the forenoon of May 2d. when the whole corps was dispatched to reinforce the portion of the army under Gen. Hooker, who was then in position at Chancellorsville, leav- ing Gen. Sedgwick with the sixth corps at Fredericksburg. Just as the men had gone into bivouac, after crossing the river at United States Ford, there came a sudden order to move at once and rapidly to the front, still a couple miles distant, and as they went forward through the gloom and dusk of evening they learned of the disaster which had occurred to the eleventh corps and its precipitate and inglorious retreat. The ground which had been lost was gradually retaken from the Rebels who, dispirited by the loss of Jackson, had fallen back. On the early morning of May 5th the river was recrossed, and the march continued toward Fredericksburg. Again the regiment went into camp near the bank of the river at White Oak Church, and remained there until the middle of June, when the movement began that culminated in Gettysburg.
Nothing noteworthy occurred with reference to the march of the regiment. until the order came on the 28th of June, anonuncing that Gen. Meade had relieved Hooker, and was in command of the army. At this time the regiment had crossed the Potomac, arriving at Frederick City, Maryland, on the evening of the 29th, and pressed on from there to Gettysburg, where it arrived in the early morning of July 1st. Buford's cavalry command was already engaged with the enemy at some distance beyond Seminary Ridge, and the several divisions of the corps-Wads-
513
worth's leading-were hurried forward to his support. But with almost the first dash of the infantry forces occurred the great disaster of the day-the death of Gen. Reynolds, the corps commander. It is doubtful, whether, even if he had been spared to direct the battle of the first day, if it would have resulted differently in its main features, as the disparity in the forces so rapidly increased, that by the middle of the afternoon the Union army was outnumbered almost three to one. With the persistence and tenacity worthy of all praise, the first corps clung to the
line of Seminary Ridge, prolonging the line of battle toward the right by utilizing all the reserve, until at last the whole corps was in one line of battle, the 104tl being upon the extreme right and resting upon the Mummasburgh Pike, at some distance beyond which were deployed two divisions of the eleventh corps. All along the line of Seminary Ridge, from ten o'clock in the forenoon until after four o'clock in the afternoon, waged a hotly contested battle ; our forces bravely holding their own, and the heavy reinforcements enabling the enemy to obtain closer and better positions.
A list of Nunda prisoners belonging to the 104th Regiment, Company A of this squad of 14, only 4 survived the terrible ordeal. Just one of the 14 is living. and while he can tell the story he cannot hear a word spoken to him. The men were Lieutenant Edwin A. Tuthill, who died 1867: James L. Toms, the only one now living ; Jimmie Johnson, who ended his too eventful life on a railroad track. and John Hays.
These four survived the prison pen. The others were, Corporal Lewis Sut- ton, William Smith, Oliver Smith, Daniel White. Edward Keene (of Pike). Stephen P. Havens, James Green. James L. Thompson, Lucian Carpenter, and Hiram Passage The last was an adopted son of Daniel Passage, who built the Sanitarium. This-curly-headed boy was the life of the company. He played the bones to perfection, and was so full of pranks that it was hard to think of him with all his fund of joy when at last conquered by starvation he could no longer cheer up his comrades in tribulation. He had re-enlisted for he was a genuine patriot. He was captured at the Weldon R. R., Va., and died as Salisbury Prison, N. C. To show the spirit of the boy, on one occasion when Stonewall Jackson had been silencing one of the Federal batteries, a peal of thunder shook the earth : "There, Stonewall," exclaimed Hiram, "is a battery you can't silence". Ten of the very best of Company A's strong valiant men were reduced to weaklings, and then they perished from the earth. Little do the present generation realize what the one sur- vivor of this unfortunate group of heroes suffered from hunger, from impure air, and water so vile that it is wonderful that any one could survive with these conditions for a single month, yet some of these were captured at Gettysburg in 1863-a place less a charnel house of death than the prison pens of Salis- bury and Andersonville.
