One of the last regiments to be recruited, partly in Luzerne County in the year 1861, was the 56th Pennsylvania, Company G of which was composed ex- clusively of volunteers from the county at large. Two other regiments, author- ized at about the same, contained an additional number of men from portions of the county. These were the 57th and 58th Regiments, Company A of the former and Company I of the latter being composed in part of those who were unable to get into units of the 56th.
The 56th was mustered into Federal service December 15, 1861, but so tardy was the recruitment of some of its units in districts outside of Luzerne, that it was composed of only eight and one-half companies when it was sent from Camp Curtin to Washington, March 8, 1862. In the vigorous campaign of that year, impending when the regiment was assigned to General Doubleday's Brigade, the 56th took part at the second Bull Run, suffered severe losses at South Mountain and again was in action at Antietam.
In the Fall campaign, this regiment shared in the action at Union and later at Fredericksburg, going into winter quarters at Pratt's Landing.
At Chancellorsville, in the Spring of 1862, the 56th was in reserve, but at Gettysburg, the regiment is accredited with firing the first shots of that memorable battle in which it actively participated for two days, suffering casualties up to about thirty per cent of its available personnel.
Due to losses, the 56th was practically re-organized in the Spring of 1864, many members of Company G re-enlisting when their three year term expired. These were granted a veteran's furlough and upon their return the regiment was thrown into the Wilderness campaign, sharing the months of hardship and danger in connection with Grant's activities there and at Petersburg. The regi- ment was mustered out at Philadelphia July 1, 1865, members of the local com- pany returning home from that point.
The roster of Company G imparts the following information:

The 61st Pennsylvania was organized in August, 1861. So pressing was the demand for troops that it was ordered to Washington at a time when it could muster only six hundred men. Company D of this organization was re- cruited at Wilkes-Barré, it being one of the few companies whose roster was practically complete when the regiment left Camp Curtin. In February, 1862, four additional companies were transferred to the 61st and it was ordered forward to Yorktown. In its first major engagement at Fair Oaks in May, eleven officers, including all the field officers, and sixty nine enlisted men were casualties.
It remained encamped near the old battle ground, occasionally skirmishing, for about a month, when the retreat from the Chickahominy took place. At Charles City Cross Roads, Turkey Bend and Malvern Hill, it was engaged, but did not suffer severely, its losses being only two officers and thirty-two men. It remained in camp near Malvern Hill till August 16th, when it went to York- town via Charles City and Williamsburg. Early in September it went by trans- port to Alexandria, and thence marched at once to Chantilly, where it arrived the evening after the battle at that place. With the army it returned, crossed the Potomac and entered on the Maryland campaign. It did picket duty on the Potomac till September 17th, when it marched to the Antietam battle field, arriving in the evening after the battle. It went into camp at Downsville and remained till the last of October. It then crossed the Potomac and advanced with the army of General Burnside. It was slightly engaged in the battle of Fredericksburg and suffered but little loss. It participated in the "mud march," except which it remained in camp during the winter of 1862-3. At the battle of Chancellorsville it was fiercely engaged and lost three officers and seventy- four men.
In June the regiment started on the Gettysburg campaign. It arrived on the field during the second day of the battle and was at once engaged, though not severely. It followed and harrassed one of Lee's retreating columns to
2065
Waynesboro. It then marched to White Sulphur Springs, to Culpepper, to the Rapidan, to Fairfax Courthouse and to Warrenton. It was engaged at Rappahan- nock Station; then went to Brandy Station, where it wintered. Its strength was increased while there by the return of absentees and by recruits; and on the 5th of May, 1864, it crossed the Rapidan, and the next day was engaged in the Wilderness, losing twelve killed and thirty wounded. On the 6th it was again in battle, with a loss of fifteen killed and forty wounded. From this time during a month the regiment was constantly employed in fighting, skirmishing, picket- ing, digging rifle-pits, etc. During all this time, from the crossing of the Rapidan, May 4th, its losses amounted in killed, wounded and missing to thirty officers and four hundred enlisted men. During the remainder of the campaign of 1864, the 61st was constantly on active duty and was twice in action. A portion of the men whose terms of service had expired were mustered out in September, and the veterans and recruits consolidated into a battalion of five companies. During Sheridan's campaign in the Shenandoah Valley the battalion was engaged at Opequan or Winchester, at Fisher's Mill and at Cedar Creek.
In March, 1865, its strength was increased to nine companies when the 61st once again functioned as a regiment. From Petersburg, the regiment shared in the pursuit of Lee and fired its last shot at Sailor's Creek. Returned to Washington, the 61st participated in the Grand Review, members of Company D reaching their homes a week later.
The roster of the Luzerne County unit of the 61st was as follows:

One of the few cavalry units in which Luzerne County was represented was the 64th Pennsylvania which, shortly after its organization, was changed from an infantry regiment and became known as the 4th Cavalry.
It was recruited late in the Fall of 1861, Company M, later Troop M of the 64th being composed of volunteers from the county at large.
For months the regiment was held at Washington before mounts for its members could be secured, but once mounted, the regiment was to see a varied and arduous service which, for scope of territory traversed was equaled by few other organizations of the army.
It was with McDowell's column on the Rappahannock, went through the Peninsula campaign and served with McClelland in the Maryland campaign before midsummer of 1862. The 64th was with General Pleasanton in his pur- suit of Stuart, the rebel cavalryman, and then was transferred to the army of General Burnside for the Fredericksburg campaign. After the accession of General Hooker to the command of the army, cavalry was given a far more important role to fill than ever before and from Chancellorsville to Gettysburg in 1863, the 4th Cavalry saw almost constant service.
One of its most severe fights occurred at Jeffersonville, Virginia, October 12, 1863, when its casualties numbered more than two hundred, including a large number of prisoners many of whom died later in Andersonville.
When terms of enlistment was about to expire in the Fall of 1864, nearly three-fourths of the Luzerne County unit again volunteered, this time for the duration of the war. Being a cavalry organization, the 4th was kept constantly on the move summer and winter, many of its most severe engagements occurring at isolated points while on patrol or reconnoisance duty. At St. Mary's Church, Virginia, in the summer of 1864, the 4th engaged nearly three times its numerical strength of veteran Confederate troops.
It covered itself with glory in causing the Confederates to withdraw from the field, but its own losses in the encounter were eighty-seven men.
In the final campaign, the 4th was constantly in the saddle and had suc- ceeded in capturing a large force of enemy troops when the surrender of Lee was announced. The regiment was mustered out at Lynchburg, Virginia, July 1, 1865, its muster rolls at that time recording the following data, as to Troop M:

Although parts of Luzerne County were represented in other regiments numbered between the 64th and 76th, the next organization enlisted wholly within the county but with a large proportion of its members coming from the Wyoming Valley was Company H of the 76th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers.
Most of the early Fall of 1861 was spent in recruiting this regiment to desired strength and late in Octo- ber it was sent to the coast of Vir- ginia for guard U.S. duty among the H.94% outlying islands. With small chance for active service the regi- ment continued this exacting form of duty until July, 1863, when the regiment moved to Morris Island to take part in a TELEGRAPH MESSAGE CENTER ON WHEELS bloody but unsuccessful attack upon Fort Wagner, losing a heavy ratio of its available men in casualties. In May of the following year, the 76th became
2068
a part of the Army of the James and was moved to the attack of Cold Harbor where its casualty lists were likewise heavy. By transport the regiment was again moved to Fort Fisher, seeing severe action at that point. After doing provost duty at Raleigh in the late Spring of 1865, the 76th was mustered out on July 18th, many members of Company H not being returned to their homes until the Fall of 1865. The muster roll of Company H records the following:
