The victory was complete. It was believed that the 19th corps suffered most severely in this battle, having lost 1940 in killed and wounded. Capts, DeWandilaer and Jacob C. Klock, of this regiment, were found mn the house of a rebel Congressman. Capt. Klock was severely wounded. He was, however, enabled to return to his home in St. Johnsville, where, after being promoted major, he died, Oct. 4, 1864. Post Klock, No. 70, G. A. R., of Fort Plain, N. Y., was named in honor of this gallant officer. After the battle of Opequan creek or Winchester, the enemy were pursued 8 miles south, to Fisher's Hill, where they were found strongly fortified be- tween two mountain ranges. From this stronghold they were completely routed on the 22d, giving Sheridan possession of Fisher's Hill, the most formidalde natural barrier in the valley. Following up this victory, the Union forces pursued the enemy night and day. harrassing and diving them through Woodstock, Mt. Jackson, Mt. Crauford and Staunton
to Waynesborough, destroying flouring mills and vast quantities of grain.
While in the valley, 22 of the men were captured by Moseby. Seven of them he decided to hang, because Custer had executed seven of his guer- illas at Fort Royal. The number having been selected by lot, it was or- dered that they be put to death half a mile west of Berryville. Four of the condemned escaped, yet not till they had been severely wounded ; the other three were hanged. One of these was a member of the 153d.
On the 30th of September, the troops started down the valley, and on the 10th of October crossed Cedar creek and encamped. October 18th the ist and part of the ad division proceeded on a reeonnoisance, nearly as far as Strasburg. They found the rebels encamped here, and also dis- covered that the enemy were again strongly entrenched at Fisher's Hill.
On the 15th Sheridan made a flying visit to Washington, leaving Gen. Wright, of the 6th corps, in command. Early, aware of Sheridan's absence, and having been reinforced by Longstreet's corps, attacked our army in force at daybreak on the 19th. The 8th corps was surprised and driven back in confusion. The 6th and 19th corps were soon ordered to re- tire from the position. The enemy captured our guns and turned them upon our soldiers, who checked this onset and then fell back. Sheridan, returning from Washington and learning of the disaster hastened to his army, which had retreated several miles. He at once formed a line of battle, and as he dashed along the ranks, said : "Never mind, boys, we'll whip them yet." The air was rent with responsive cheers from his men. At one o'clock the pickets of the 19th corps were vigorously attacked and driven in by the enemy. Our line now pressed forward on a double quick and soon received a severe fire, but continued steadily to advance, when the enemy opened fire upon the right flank, the line swinging to the right to meet it. It was soon found that the rebels were retreating to the left, when the line was immediately turned in that direction, and the enemy were driven in confusion from behind a temporary breastwork. Their re- treat now became a rout, and was followed up by our troops, until they retook the breastworks from which they had been driven in the morning, the 153d regiment being among the first to occupy the works. Following the pursuit almost to Strasburg, the Union forces encamped, and on the 2Ist returned to their old quarters near Cedar creek. Col. Davis, of the 153d, was made Brigadier General by brevet for his bravery at this battle.
On the 9th of November, the army left Cedar creek and encamped near Newtown. Here the troops remained until December 29th, when they broke camp and marched to Stevenson's depot, the terminus of the. Harper's Ferry and Winchester railroads ; here they began to erect winter quarters near the depot in a grove of oak and black walnut. On the 23d of March, 1865, this regiment was sent across to Snicker's gap, but re- turned the following day without adventure. At midnight, April 9th, the booming of cannon announced the surrender of Lee. April rith the regiment moved to Summit Point, and on the 20th they left this place by cars for Washington. While passing Harper's Ferry, Fink, of Company (, was killed. On the following day this regiment encamped near Fort Stevens, at Washington, and took part in the grand review of veterans at that place, April 23d and 24th.
On the 6th of June, 1865, the 153d embarked on the steamer Oriental, for Savannah, Georgia, where it arrived on the 13th. Colonel-now Brig- General by brevet-Davis was in command of the city, which this regiment now guarded. Dr. A. L. Snow was here promoted Brigade-Surgeon, and was afterward assigned the position of health officer of the district and city of Savannah.
Major Charles F. Putnam died here, after a severe but brief illness. This brave officer had been with the regiment from the first. On the 9th his remains were borne by his comrades to the beautiful Laurel Grove cemetery. They were brought north at the tune of the return of the regi- ment, and interred in the cemetery at Fultonville, near his former home. Adjutant A. V. Davis was now promoted to the rank of major, an honor richly merited.
On the 5th of October, this regiment took the steamer "Emilie " for the north by the way of Hilton Head, which place was reached the same day. On the 7th the 153d left by the steamer " Mclellan " for New York, arriving, there on the 10th of October, and on the 11th took the " Mary Benton " for Albany. Here a large number of the sick were taken to the " Ira llarris " Hospital. Of them twelve or fourteen died, several at Albany, the others after reaching their homes. On the 16th of October, 1865, the men were mustered out of the service and paid off.
