Early Railroads .- On April 13, 1846, the Pennsylvania Railroad was chartered, and on December 10, 1852, the first train ran through from Philadelphia to Pittsburg by way of Greensburg. This road runs 55.3 miles through Westmoreland county, and along it have been built the towns of Derry, Latrobe and Manor, and a score of prosperous villages. The second railroad in the county is the Pittsburg and Con- nellsville railroad, which was opened from Lay- ton station, in Fayette county, Pa., to West Newton on May 7, 1855, and was afterwards

WESTMORELAND COUNTY.

continued to Robbins' station, where it passed into Allegheny county. The third railroad which was completed in Westmoreland county is the Western Pennsylvania, which was char- tered February 9, 1853, as the Northwestern Pennsylvania railroad, and was to run from Blairsville, Indiana county, to Freeport, Arm- strong county, Pa., by nearly the route of the Pennsylvania canal along the northern border of Westmoreland county. The company build- ing the road failed and a new company completed it in 1865, as the Western Pennsylvania rail- road, under a charter approved March 22, 1860. The opening of the first two roads and the projection of the third inaugurated a new era in the history of the county, whose progress was arrested for a decade of years by the breaking thunders of the greatest civil war of modern times.

The Great Civil War .- One week after President Lincoln's call for troops the "Old eleventh regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers" was organized, and in it were two companies, I and K, which were recruited at Greensburg. In the eleventh Pa. Reserves were the following Westmoreland companies : C, recruited at La- trobe ; E, at Latrobe and Ligonier ; F, at Salem; I, at Greensburg, and K, at Youngstown ; com- panies HI and I of the fortieth regiment were raised in the county; Co. C, eighty-fourth regiment, was recruited in the Ligonier valley ; Co. E, one hundred and fifth regiment, was raised in the county, besides several other companies, which are given below :

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF

thirty-seven other Pennsylvania regiments serv- ing in the Army of the Potomac. The county furnished the Union armies with one major- · general-John W. Geary ; two brevet brigadier- generals, Richard Coulter and Thomas F. Gal- lagher, and the present adjutant-general of the U. S. A., Richard Coulter Drum. It also gave to the navy Com. John Bonnett Marchand and many gallant seamen. In 1862 the county fur- nished Governor Curtin with four companies of militia, which were used in guarding the State against Lee's threatened invasion of that year. In 1863 Westmoreland raised two cavalry and seven infantry companies to aid in repelling Lee's threatening invasion in the east and to assist in the capture of Morgan's raiders in Ohio. The companies that served against Morgan aided materially in his capture. It is estimated by those who know that two thousand soldiers of the late war were from Westmoreland county, Pa. Her sons fought amid the clouds on Look- out Mountain, and were with Sherman in his " March to the Sea." They served amid the hills of West Virginia and along the " Southern Gulf," and helped to capture Morgan and his bold raiders in Ohio. Hundreds of them joined the Army of the Potomac, and were with it from Cedar Mountain until the sun of the "Great Rebellion" went down at Appomattox Court- House, when Lee's war-worn veterans grounded arms to the "Silent Man " from Galena.

Connellsville Coke Region .- In 1865 the sol- dier was lost in the citizen, and peace, the " glad- ness-giving queen," reigned supreme throughout the land. After the war the people of West- moreland county, while not neglecting their great agricultural resources, yet turned their attention largely to the development of their immense coal beds in the Connellsville coking belt. In 1873 the Southwest Pennsylvania railroad was com- pleted from Greensburg to Scottdale, and from that time until the present the coke industry has increased with wonderful rapidity. The num- ber of coke ovens in the county has increased

from a few hundred in 1873 to many thousands in 1890. These ovens produce the typical coke of the world.

Murrysville Natural Gas Field .- The nat- ural gas wells in the Murrysville and Grapeville districts are conceded by geologists to be the greatest on the globe. These wells have given no sign of failure for over ten years, and supply Pittsburg and many towns over thirty miles away. The abundance and cheapness of this gas has brought steel, iron and glass works to the county, and has increased three-fold its volume of business. It has led to a building boom in all the main towns, and led to the founding and growth of Jeannette, "the magical city of glass," that in one year after being laid out numbered two thousand people.

Recent and Phenomenal Development .- To- day Westmoreland is one of the most prosperous and rapidly progressive counties of the State. Its great agricultural resources, its large bodies of timber and vast mineral wealth of gas and coking coal, iron, rock and natural gas, have been wonderfully developed within the last de- cade. In the race of future competition West- moreland county will lead and be in the front rank of the progressive counties of the United States. The mineral development of the county and the growth in the number and size of its vast manufacturing establishments have been marvelous and phenomenal. From 1870 to 1880 the population increased 20,000, and during the last decade competent authorities estimate that the county has increased from 75,000 to 150,000 in population.

Townships .- The eight parent townships in 1773 were: Armstrong (now included in terri- tory of Armstrong county), Fairfield, Hempfield, Mount Pleasant, Pitt (Allegheny county), Ros- traver, Springhill and Tyrone (now in Fayette). On April 6, 1773, three townships were formed : Donegal, Huntingdon and Manillin (Fayette county.) Since then the following townships have been erected : Derry, 1775; Wheatfield
