The remainder of the regiment took part in the pursuit of the rebel army into Virginia, and afterward moved to the vicinity of Bealton Station, where it was engaged in guard duty on the railroad and at a depot of stores. During the autumn of 1863 it received recruits at different times, amounting to three hundred and sixty-three men, which gave the regiment a strength of five hundred thirty- four.
Late in September the regiment moved with the army to the Rapidan and occupied positions successively at Raccoon Ford, Moreton's Ford and Kelly's Ford; then marched to Centerville and thence to Haymarket, where on the 9th of October, it had a slight engagement, in which two men were wounded. It returned to the Rapidan and late in November was stationed at Manassas Junction, whence it went across the Rappahannock to Paoli Mills on the 5th of December, and on the 27th to Culpepper and established its winter quarters, On the 6th of February, 1864, it marched to Raccoon Ford, where it had a slight engagement, and returned the next day.
A corps reorganization took place in March and the 143d became one of the regiments of the 1st brigade 1st division 5th corps. Lieutenant Colonel Hoyt, who died in June, 1863, had been succeeded by Major Musser, and Captain Charles M. Conyngham had been made major. Early in May the regiment went to the Wilderness and engaged in the several actions here. At these battles Colonel Dana was wounded and made prisoner, Lieutenant Colonel Musser was killed, Lieutenant Michael Keenan was mortally wounded and Captains Gordon and Little and Lieutenant Kauff taken prisoners. At Laurel Hill the regiment was in action, and for several successive days was engaged in charging and repelling assaults. In these engagements it suffered severely. Lieutenant Charles H. Riley was killed and Major Conyngham severely wounded. The regiment went to the North Anna, where it arrived on the 21st, and on the 23d it was engaged at Hanover Junction. It moved forward with the army, crossed the James and marched for Petersburg on the 16th of June. On the 18th, in a general advance on the enemy's works, Lieutenant E. L. Griffin was mortally wounded. During a month following this, the regiment was engaged in fatigue
*When the regiment was reorganized in 1864, several of those whose terms of enlistment had expired returned to the Wyoming Valley. Among these was Capt. Oliver K. Moore who brought back with him this flag of the original 143d which had been carried continuously by the organization since its departure from the community. The flag was first deposited for safe keeping in the vault of the Wyoming National Bank and afterwards turned over to the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society where it now reposes.

duty, and on the 18th of August, it was engaged at the taking of the Weldon railroad. About the middle of September, 1864, Colonel Dana returned from his imprisonment and resumed command of his regiment, which was about the same time assigned to the 3d division, under General Crawford. On the 1st of October the regiment made an expedition on the Vaughn road, and was soon afterward quartered in Fort Howard, where it remained till the latter part of the month, when it moved with its corps on Hatcher's Run.
Under the command of General Warren, the corps went early in December on the Weldon raid and succeeded in effecting the destruction of about twenty miles of the railroad and its fixtures, as well as rebel stores and other property. On the return of the corps from this raid the 143d was a portion of the rear guard, and was frequently attacked by the enemy's pursuing column. This was the last active service of the regiment during that year.
Early in February, 1865, the regiment participated in a movement against the enemy at Hatcher's Run, where the rebels and the union troops were alter- nately driven. Captain Gaylord was killed in this fight and the regiment suffered greatly. Soon after this the 143d, with three other regiments in the same brigade, went north. It was placed on duty at the rendezvous on Hart Island, in the East River, New York, and remained there during the remainder of its term of service. It was mustered out on the 12th of June, 1865, after passing through Wilkes-Barré on its way from New York to Harrisburg.
Colonel Dana had suffered severely during his imprisonment, and was one of fifty imprisoned officers who were placed under the fire of the Union artillery at the city of Charleston. After his return, though holding the rank of colonel, he was during a long time kept in command of his brigade. The officers of that brigade drew up and subscribed a memorial to the war department protesting against such injustice, and asking that he be promoted. This paper from some cause never reached the department, but on the facts of the case becoming known through other channels he was brevetted a brigadier-general, and re- tained in the service on special duty till the following August.
The personnel of field and staff as well as members of local companies of the 143d, as disclosed by muster out rolls of the regiment were as follows:
