ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIRST REGIMENT.

Companies E, G, H, K and part of I were recruited in Berks County, the re- maining part of Company I in Schuylkill County. They rendezvoused at Camp Curtin during September, where a regimental organi- zation was effected.

On November 26th the regiment moved for Washington, and, upon its arrival, proceeded to Arlington Heights. Rations in haversack had become exhausted, and the commissary train had failed to come up. In this extremity the men of the Twenty-fifth Maine (encamped near by) proffered a share of their own rations to the famishing troops, early affording a lesson of generosity which the One Hundred and Fifty-first was not slow to improve on subse- quent occasions. On the following day the train arrived, bringing abundant rations and one hundred rounds of ammunition to the man, filling cartridge-boxes and loading down knap- sacks. On December 3d the regiment marched, in conjunction with the brigade of Colonel F. G. D'Utassay, to Alexandria, and thence pro- ceeded by rail to Union Mills, twenty-two miles out, were it was placed on duty, relieving a Vermont brigade. It was here in an enemy's country, infested by Mosby's guerrillas, where every inhabitant was an informer and every visitant a spy. Unceasing vigilance and un- questioning obedience to orders were exacted, and the lessons there learned served it in many a trying hour. Colonel D'Utassay, who had

been a Hungarian officer, and General Alexan- der Hayes, who succeeded him, were both strict disciplinarians, and were untiring in their ef- forts to have the command well instructed aud drilled.

About the middle of February the regiment was transferred to Belle Plain, where it formed part of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the First Corps, General Doubleday com- manding the division and General Reynolds the corps. Arriving at night, without tents or rations, the men were obliged to lie down hun- gry upon the cold ground, without protection from the cold weather. During the night sev- eral inches of snow fell, and soon afterwards a. cold rain set in, during which a part of the regiment was ordered out upon the picket line. Privation and exposure induced sickness, from which some died and many were sent to the hospital. Caleb C. Parvin, second lieutenant of Company E, was among the victims that died of diseases contracted while in the line of duty. Just previous to the opening of the Chancel- lorsville campaign the Third Division was sent to Port Conway, on the Lower Rappahannock, for a diversion in favor of the operations soon to commence. The movement was successful, inducing Stonewall Jackson to move, with his whole corps and train, to a point on the oppo- site bank. The division was out forty-six hours, during thirty-six of which rain fell incessantly. This made marching difficult .. Upon its return to camp General Doubleday sent a communication to Colonel Allen, through his adjutant-general, in these words : "The general commanding the division desired me to express his appreciation to Colonel Allen, of the good order and compactness which marked the march of the One Hundred and Fifty-first, both in going to and returning from Port Con- way. He desires me to say that the same cir- enmstances attracted the attention and commen- dation of Major-General Reynolds and staff, who wished this compliment tendered."

Before marching to the battle-field at Chancel- lorsville the First Corps moved down to Frank- lin's Crossing, where it was twice subjected to a vigorous shelling from the enemy posted on the opposite shore. On May 2d the corps made a

forced march to United States Ford, and, hav- ing crossed, was about to encamp, when it was summoned to the front to occupy the line on the right of the army, from which the Elev- enth Corps had been driven. During Sunday, the 3d, and Monday, the 4th, the regiment oc- cupied a position on the picket line, between the Ely's and Germania Ford roads, where it confronted the enemy, who sought every favor- able opportunity to dispute the ground. On Wednesday the army withdrew, and the regi- ment went into camp near White Oak Church. Considerable sickness prevailed here. the morn- ing report at one time showing one hundred and sixty on the sick list.

The march to Gettysburg commenced on the 12th of June. The right wing of the army (composed of the First and Eleventh Corps, under General Reynolds) made a forced march of one hundred and five miles in three days, throwing itself suddenly between Lee's army (which was moving down the Shenandoah Val- ley) and Washington. At Broad Run they halted for the enemy to develop his plans. His cavalry having been defeated at Aldie and Upperville, and he having crossed the Potomac above, Reynolds hastened forward to Middle- burg, where he again interposed between the enemy and the cities of Baltimore and Wash- ington. As the enemy pushed on into Penn- sylvania, Reynolds followed, and on the 1st of July his cavalry, under Buford, met the head of the enemy's columns, and immediately com- menced the battle. The brigades of Cutler and Meredith came up soon afterward and continued the fight. The First Brigade (now commanded by Colonel Chapman Biddle) arrived upon the field at half-past ten A.M., and took a position on the extreme left flank of the corps, the One Hundred and Fifty-first, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel McFarland, in the absence of Colonel Allen, holding the left of the brigade line. As it moved into position it was saluted by the booming of cannon and the rattle of musketry.

Without delay it was pushed forward, by order of General Rowley (now in command of the division, General Reynolds having fallen in battle), the men urslinging knapsacks as they

went, and advancing obliquely to the west of the Theological Seminary, on a ridge, where it remained some time. All firing ceased then for nearly an hour. The enemy was driven back, and General Archer was captured with some eight hundred of his men. About noon the enemy opened again on both front and right. The brigade having been exposed to a flank fire, it was ordered back into the hollow, where, sup- porting Cooper's battery and being subjected to a constant fire of shot and shell, it maintained its position for two hours and a half, only vary- ing its line to avoid the destructive cross-fire of the enemy. At half-past two the One Hun- dred and Fifty-first was detached from the brigade by General Rowley, to be held as a re- serve, and was posted behind a fence along the south end of Seminary Grove, facing north. A few moments later it changed front forward on the left company, and occupied a temporary breast-work erected by the Second (Robinson's) Division earlier in the day, just in rear of the Seminary, facing west. By this time the enemy had concentrated in large force and began to close in. With only this single regiment in re- serve, and with but a single line, Doubleday was opposing thrice his numbers, coming on three lines deep, and reaching out far beyond him on either flank. This pressure soon began to tell upon the Union line. A gap, occasioned by severe losses, was soon manifest between the brigades of Biddle and Meredith, and this was threatening to prove fatal to the entire left wing. Into this gap, by order of General Rowley, the One Hundred and Fifty-first was thrown, to stay the tide which was fast sweeping on,-the last reserve thrown into action. In perfect order it moved forward, and closed up the broken line, Company D standing directly in front of, and about twenty-five yards distant from, the point of woods where General Rey- nolds was killed. Men began to fall before it had gained its position, and fire was not re- turned until the word was given, and then only deliberately, not by battalion, but as each could deliver an effective shot. The fighting was now terrific, and the losses of the enemy in front ot the position where the regiment stood were most grievous. "I know not," says Colonel

293

THE CIVIL WAR.

McFarland, in his official report, "how nien could have fought more desperately, exhibited more coolness or contested the field with more determined courage." But the contest was too unequal to continue long. The one attenuated line, with the last reserve thrown in, became shattered. The Iron Brigade, having borne the brunt of the battle for five hours, was finally withdrawn, thus exposing the right of the One Hundred and Fifty-first. The regiments on its left were, likewise, overborne, and one after an- other was forced back, until this regiment was left alone to resist the enemy's front and flank fire. Finally, when more than half its number had fallen, and seeing that it was being flanked by powerful masses, and that it would certainly be engulfed if it stood longer, the order was given to retire. Deliberately the order was obeyed, and the enemy followed with caution. At the barricade of rails in the edge of the grove back of the Seminary it again took position, where fragments of other regiments had as- sembled, and as the enemy's lines came on in front, a deadly fire was delivered upon them, which again checked their mad advance. But here a new danger threatened. Finding that he could not walk over even the remnants of the First Corps by direct advance, the wily rebel leader had sent a heavy force to the Union left, by a stealthy movement upon that flank. Before a warning of its presence had been given, the regiment received a heavy enfilading volley, by which Lieutenant-Colonel McFarland was shot down, receiving severe wounds in both legs, and large numbers of the men were dis- abled. The moment had come when it could no longer stand, and, with remnants of other commands, it retreated rapidly towards the town. General Early (who had closed in on the ex- treme Union right) was already in the streets, having flanked the Eleventh Corps, and here, the way being impeded by trains and retreating troops, a number of the regiment fell into the enemy's hands.

Upon its arrival on Cemetery Hill it mus- tered but ninety-two men. This number was increased, by the arrival of men who had been cut off from the column in passing through the town, to one hundred and thirteen. Captain

Owens assumed command, and took position in support of a battery in rear of the Cemetery, where it remained until five o'clock of the even- ing of the 2d. It was then moved at double- quick to the support of the troops of Sickles, on the extreme right of the line. In marching down the Taneytown Road, and when it ap- proached Round Top, the line of the brigade was broken by troops moving in a diagonal direction across its path, and the One Hundred and Fifty-first, with the Twentieth New York State Militia, became separated from the rest of the brigade, and, amidst the confusion conse- quent, failed to regain its position. Finding themselves thus separated, Colonel Gates and Captain Owens decided to act as an independent command, and moved up upon the front line, taking position on the left of the Second Corps, where it remained during the night. When the enemy made his grand charge on the afternoon of the 3d, these two regiments hastened to the right to support the troops at the menaced front, loading and firing as they went. Reaching a knoll where a battery of the Second Corps was posted, and in front of which the enemy was advancing, they made a stand, and for a short time maintained a sharp fire, driving the enemy from a slashing in which he had taken refuge from a flank attack of Stannard's (Vermont) brigade. The enemy was finally driven at all points, many throwing down their arms and surrendering, and the dear-bought victory was won. At this point Adjutant Samuel T. Allen was severely wounded. After the fighting was over, these regiments moved back near General Meade's headquarters, and on the morning of the 4th rejoined the brigade.

The heroism displayed by the One Hundred and Fifty-first in this battle is unsurpassed. It went into the fight with twenty-one officers and four hundred and sixty-six men. Of these, two officers and sixty-six men were killed, twelve officers and one hundred and eighty- seven men were wounded, and one hundred were missing, an aggregate loss of three hun- dred and sixty-seven-upwards of seventy-five per cent. "At Gettysburg," says General Doubleday, who commanded the First Corps, " they won, under the brave McFarland, an im-

perishable fame. They defended the left front of the First Corps against vastly superior num- bers ; covered its retreat against the overwhelm- ing masses of the enemy at the Seminary, west of the town, and enabled me, by their deter- mined resistance, to withdraw the corps in com- parative safety. This was on the first day. In the crowning charge of the third day of the battle the shattered remnants of the One Hun- dred and Fifty-first Pennsylvania, with the Twentieth New York State Militia, flung them- selves upon the front of the rebel colunin, and drove it from the shelter of a slashing in which it had taken shelter from a flank attack of the Vermont troops. I can never forget the ser- vices rendered me by this regiment, directed by the gallantry and genius of McFarland. I believe they saved the First Corps, and were among the chief instruments to save the Army of the Potomac and the country from unimagin- able disaster." The encomium here awarded by General Doubleday (a general who never shunned hard fighting) was won at a fearful cost, and it was by the stubborn fighting of this regiment, and other fighting like it, that the great battle was finally won. Lieutenants Aaron S. Seaman and George A. Trexler were of the killed, and Lieutenant-Colonel McFar- land, Adjutant Samnel T. Allen, Captains George L. Stone and James W. Weida, and Lieutenants Benjamin F. Oliver, Thomas L. Moyer, Henry H. Merkle, William O. Blod- get and Albert Yost were of the wounded, and Captains William K. Boltz and William L. Gray, and Lieutenants James L. Reber and Charles P. Potts were taken prisoners. Lieu- tenant-Colonel McFarland submitted to the amputation of one leg on the field, and for want of suitable medical attention, the operation had to be repeated, and the other leg was left ter- ribly mangled. For many weeks his life was despaired of, but he finally recovered. The captured officers and men suffered all the hor- rors of long imprisonment.

Colonel Allen, who had been granted a fur- lough, as soon as he learned that a battle was imminent, hastened to the front, arriving on the 3d, and resumed command. At six o'clock on the morning of the 6th the regiment moved

with the army in pursuit of Lee, coming up with his rear-guard at Funkstown on the 12tlı, and his main body near Williamsport on the 14th. That night the enemy escaped. Its term of service had now nearly expired. It was, accordingly, relieved from duty on the 19th, and returned to Harrisburg, where, on the 27th, it was mustered out.
