HISTORY OF COLUMBIA COUNTY.


July it moved to Greencastle, Pa., and on the 22d was ordered by the way of Harrisburg and Baltimore to Washington. It was mustered into the service of the United States July 27, 1861. It was assigned to the Third Brigade of McCall's Division. On December 20th the battle of Drainesville was fought, in which the Reserves won their first victory. It is impossible to follow the Reserves in all their movements and marches. It would be almost a history of the war. On the 13th of June, 1862, it em- barked for White House, Va. On the 28th it was abandoned and the stores burned, and the army fell back, McClellan having bcen beaten in the Seven Days' fight. The regiment reached Harrison's Landing on the 1st of July. The last days of July came the three days' manœuvreing fight at Warrenton. After the Second Bull Run the Regiment moved towards South Mountain and took position on the extreme right. They performed a gallant service in capturing the rebel position on the mountain top, and the next two days were in the victory gained by Mcclellan at Antietam. And so it continued in march counter march and drill and in due course moved on toward Fredericksburg, in which battle it took a very prominent part. It made the celebrated "Mud March," and on the 25th June moved from Fairfax Station to join in the Gettysburg campaign. Thence to Falling Waters, Rappahannock, Bristoe Station, New Hope Church, through the campaign of the Wilderness. and on to the battle at Bethesda Church, fought after its term of enlistment had expired, and gain- ing a signal victory, it started for Harrisburg 1 June, 1864, where it was mustered out on the 11th of the same month, with a mili- tary reputation unsurpassed by any in the service.
