PREFACE.


The object of the author of this volume, is the preservation of the names and services of the noble men, citizens of Carbon County, who served the country of their birth or adoption, during a period of danger, such as no nation ever experienced. The memory of the soldiers who saved the Republic of the United States from the destroying hand of a deeply-laid and long-premeditated Rebellion will be ever sacred in the hearts of the American people. It is due to the men who served faith- fully in this great struggle, that their claims to the gratitude of their country should be distinctly recorded and preserved in a permanent form, so as to place it within the reach of all. It is with these views that the following record of the services of the Carbon County soldiers has been compiled. The author's aim has been to do justice to all, and as the greater portion of this work has been gathered from official sources, it is reliable and correct.


The companies are presented in the order of their organization, as near as possible. It will be observed that many names appear twice-such having re-enlisted. This is done in order not to mar the company organ- izations, and to present the rolls as they originally stood.


We have endeavored, at the expense of a great deal of labor and time to procure the name of every soldier from the county. But we do not pretend to have been successful in securing every one. We have simply done all we could, to make this work reliable and correct.


J. D. L.


The contributions of Carbon County in aid of suppressing the Slave-holders' Rebellion,-in proportion to her popula- tion,-is unequalled by any county in the State of Pennsyl- vania, and probably not surpassed by any community in any other State. Not only did this County furnish more men in proportion to her voting population, but the record of her soldiers is unsurpassed in point of bravery and endurance by any other troops. When the first call was made by President Lincoln for 75,000 troops for ninety days, Carbon County sent three full companies to Harrisburg in twenty-four hours. These companies were attached to the 6th Regiment Pennsyl- vania Volunteers. Immediately afterwards a full company was raised for three years, and attached to the famous "Buck- tail Rifles." Upon the expiration of the three months' campaign two companies were raised for the 28th Regiment, P. V .; four Companies for the 81st Regiment, P. V .; one Company for the 67th Regiment P. V .; one Company for the 4th Pennsylvania Cavalry ; one Company for the 11th P. V .; a portion of a Company for the 53d Regiment, P. V .; and a portion of a Company for the 11th Pennsylvania Cavalry. Besides these, about a Company were scattered in different other Regiments.


On the next call for troops, in 1862, two more full Com- panies were organized for nine months, which were attached to the 132d Regiment, P. V. When the State was threatened with invasion in 1862, a large number of men volunteered for the emergency. In 1863 when Pennsylvania was invaded,

the county sent over four hundred men to repel the invaders. In 1864, over two hundred men volunteered for one year .- Besides these volunteers from the county, the different sub- districts paid bounties to the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars to other volunteers.


The record of the Carbon soldiers commands the admiration of the country. From the beginning to the end of the war our gallant sons were at "the front." In Western Virginia- at Falling Waters-from the battle of Drainesville, in 1861, to the surrender of Johnson's army in 1865, there was scarcely a battle fought but witnessed the fall of some brave Carbon County soldier. On the Peninsula, where fell MILLER, CONNER, SHURLOCK, ABBOTT, and a host of others; at Chancellorsville, where the noble CHAPMAN sealed his devo- tion to his country with his heart's blood ; at Bull Run, where the brave HYNDMAN died, fighting to the last; at South Mountain where BITTERLING cheered on his command with his last breath ; at Mine Run, where we lamented the fall of PHILLIPS, at Spottsylvania, and in the long struggle for the capture of Richmond, where fell HAWK, GINDER, HOOVER, MCGEE, PETERS and a host of others; in the last battle with Lee's army, where fell BOND, who had served from the very first call. At Gettysburg, Antictam, Fredericksburg, and a hundred other battle-fields where such men as Major Harkness, Captains Conner, Shields, Pryor, McLaughlin, Abbott, Marsh, Bieber, Patton and a thousand other brave Carbon County soldiers bled and won imperishable laurels .- In the struggles in the South-West, and in the long and fatiguing march of Sherman's army from Atlanta to the sea, in which many of the Carbon County men bled and died .-


VII.


Such men and such services have made up the Record which is presented in this volume.


While we point in sorrow to the long lists of the dead, we mourn with a pride which only such a record can inspire .- Such a record of heroism, where fire-eighths of the soldiers sent from a community are killed and wounded. But, not only in bravery and heroic fighting is the record of these soldiers unequalled, but also in point of health and endurance. The grand record of casualties in the United States Volun- teers during the war shows that double the number of soldiers died of disease as were killed in battle. The record contained in this volume, shows that THREE TIMES as many of the Carbon County Volunteers were killed in battle as died of dis- ease. We give the record of officers, as follows :


One Brevet Brigadier General.


Three Colonels, of whom one was killed.


One Brevet Colonel, who was wounded.


Three Lieutenant Colonels, of whom one was killed and one wounded.


Three Majors, of whom one was killed and one wounded.


Twenty-eight Captains, of whom five were killed, one died and sixteen wounded.


Thirty-nine Lieutenants, of whom seven were killed and twenty wounded, making a total of seventy-eight officers furnished by Carbon County. Of this number FIFTEEN were killed, ONE died of disease, and thirty-nine wounded.


But it is not only the record of the officers that presents such unmistakable evidence of bravery and endurance. The men who filled the ranks have a record equally grand; and it will stand for all time to come as a noble monument to the

patriotism of little Carbon. While the remains of the loved ones rest peacefully in the dust of the battle-fields of the South ; while we mourn the loss of so many of the noblest youths of our county ; while fathers and mothers cherish the memory of patriotic sons, and widows and orphans that of husbands and fathers, we have the one proud consciousness that during a period of danger such as few nations have ever experienced, we were true to the legacy entrusted to us by the founders of this great nation. The people of Carbon county have the consciousness, that during the slave-holders rebellion they discharged their whole duty.


Native and foreign alike served with honor and distinction, and it is but just to say of the German, Irish and Welsh, who form so large a proportion of the population of Carbon, that they came up nobly to the defence of their adopted country, and the list of deaths on many a battle-field attest the gallantry of the foreign portion of Carbon County Volunteers.
