ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIRST REGIMENT. (DRAFTED MILITIA.)
This regiment, which was organized at Camp Curtin about the middle of November, 1862, to serve for a period of nine months, contained a large number of Somerset county men, and one company from the county of Bedford. It moved from Camp Curtin on November 27, and proceeding by rail and water via Washington and Norfolk, arrived at Suffolk, Virginia, early in December.
On the 28th of that month it marched from Suffolk to Ballard's Landing on the Chowan river, and thence proceeded by transports to New Berne, North Carolina, arriving January 1, 1863. It was soon after assigned to Spinola's (Keystone) brigade, of the 3d division, 18th corps. Thereafter the regiment remained in Gen. Foster's department, participating in vari- ous marches and skirmishes in the region trav- ersed by the Tar and Pamlico rivers, until the close of June, when the brigade was ordered to Fortress Monroe, to join in a demonstration toward Richmond, Virginia, as a diversion in favor of the Union army at Gettysburg. It remained in the vicinity of White House, on the Pamunkey river, until July 7, when it was ordered to Harper's Ferry, arriving on the 9th. Lee's rebel army was then in full retreat. On the 11th the regiment marched to Boonsboro, and thence to a position in a pass of the South Mountain, where it remained until after the enemy had escaped into Virginia. It then moved to Frederick, and, on August 3, was ordered to Harrisburg, where from the 6th to the 8th its members were mustered out.
Following are the names of men from the two counties who served in the regiment. Cos.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOURTH REGIMENT.
Co. A of this regiment was recruited in Bed- ford county and was mustered into the service of the United States for a term of three years, May 12, 1864. Of the regiment's history, Bates, in his "History of Pennsylvania Volunteers," says :
Seven companies of this regiment, recruited in various and widely separated sections of the common- wealth for a term of three years, rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, where, in May, 1864, they were organ- ized, and on the 14th of that month moved under command of Maj. Charles Kleckner, to join the Army of the Potomac, coming up with it as it was crossing the Pamunkey river, on the 28th of May. It was immediately assigned to the 2d brigade, 2d division of the 2d corps, and on the day follow- ing its arrival was led to battle at Tolopotomy creek. It was engaged in skirmishing on the way to Cold Harbor, and on the second day of the battle led the brigade in two desperate assaults upon the enemy's works, losing sixty-seven killed and one hundred and thirteen wounded, and leaving some of its dead on the enemy's intrenchments. * * * .For its un- flinching bravery it was warmly commended by its brigade commander. For ten daysit remained upon the frontline, heavy skirmishing being constantly kept up. It then moved with the corps, and crossing the James, assaulted the enemy's works on the 16th, repeating
the assault on the two following days, and losing in each very heavily. On the 22d the assault was re- newed and the brigade, after having charged and gained a position close upon the fortifications, was outflanked and a large number were taken prisoners. In this engagement the regiment lost fifty-two in killed and wounded, and one hundred and fifteen taken prisoners. Capts. Evans, Haines, Huff and McKeage, and Lieuts. Rahn, Stover, Bryan, and Adjt. Muffly were among the prisoners. Out of five hun- dred men who stood in the ranks on the banks of the Tolopotomy on the 29th of May, three hundred and fifty, including twelve officers, had been either killed, wounded or taken prisoners in a period of twenty-five days - a loss unprecedented. Of the number taken prisoners on the 22d, sixty-seven died at Anderson- ville and a number at Salisbury and Florence. The greater part of the wounded prisoners died at Petersburg.
Near the close of July the handful which remained joined in an expedition to Deep Bottom, where it was engaged in skirmishing for a day, returning on the 29th. On the 16th of August the command again crossed the James, and in the neighborhood of Deep Bottom, after skirmishing during the entire forenoon, made a determined assault, in which it lost, out of ninety-seven engaged, twenty- seven in killed and wounded. Returning to the Petersburg front, the corps, with but little delay, moved out on the Weldon railroad and commenced its destruction. On the afternoon of the 25th the enemy attacked with terrible earnestness, but was three times repulsed with fearful slaughter. In a fourth assault, which he delivered with fresh troops and in overpowering numbers, the little brigade was overborne and compelled to fall back. Lieut .- Col. Kleckner, in command, while at the head of his regi- ment, cheering on his men, was severely wounded. On the same night the fragment that remained marched back to Petersburg and was placed in the trenches, where it was employed in fatigue duty until near the close of October. In the meantime three new companies [H, I and K], recruited for one year's service, were added to the regiment, completing its full number. On the 25th of October the regiment marched with the corps to Hatcher's Run, where, on the 27th, it was hotly engaged, the corps being out- flanked and roughly handled. The regiment lost fifteen in killed and wounded. After the battle it returned and was placed in the trenches between Forts Haskell and Steadman. It was here subjected to constant duty in close proximity to the enemy's lines, where it lost a number in killed and wounded from the unerring fire of his sharpshooters.
