ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINTH REGIMENT.
This regiment included two companies-I and K-from the county of Berks. It was organized in companies at periods ranging from the 23d of October to the 6th of December, 1862, and on the 8th of December a regimental organization was effected. Soon after its organ- ization it proceeded to Fortress Monroe and
thence to Yorktown, where it formed part of the garrison at the fort, and was encamped within its walls. Upon assuming command, Colonel Blair commenced a thorough discipline of his men, with the most flattering results. It did little else than garrison duty until the last of July, when it was called out to join in the movement made by General Dix up the Peninsula. " When the movement upon Rich- mond was made," says Colonel West, in the document above quoted, " by General Dix, in the summer of this year, I was in command of the 'Advanced Brigade' of the forces that moved up the Peninsula. It became necessary to strengthen my brigade with an additional regiment, and the commanding general author- ized me to designate any one I chose. I im- mediately named the One Hundred and Seventy- ninth, and, accordingly, Colonel Blair reported to me with his regiment and became a part of my command. During the march to White House and thence to Baltimore Cross- Roads, where my brigade was engaged upon two occasions, Colonel Blair's regiment was prompt and ready, and always well in hand. A pecu- liarity about his command was that it never had a straggler. During the return march-the most severe, on account of a drenching storm, of any I ever performed-the One Hundred and Seventy-ninth crowned its reputation as a first-class organization by being always closed and promptly in its place, whilst other regi- ments were scattered for miles along the road."
