ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT.


This regiment was recruited, principally, in the counties of Butler, Bradford. Crawford, Clinton, Schuylkill and Wayne, and of its ten companies, Companies D. F and G. were composed of Butler County men. The men of the regiment rendezvoused


by squad- and companies, at Camp Curtin. and on the 22th of August, 1862, a regimental organization was effected by the choice of the following field offi- cers: Henry M. Bossert, of Clinton County. Colonel; Joseph B. Kiddtoo, of Allegheny County. Lieutenant Colonel. and Charles W. Wingard, of Clinton County. Major.


Soon after its organization. or September 1. 1862. the regiment was ordered to Washington, D. C., and upon its arrival. reported to Gen. Casey. It went into camp near the city, and during its brief stay the companies were drilled by officers from the neighbor ing forts. On the 6th of September. the regiment began its march toward Antietam. passing through Rockville and Barnesville, and on the 12th. it joined Hancork's Brigade. Smith's Division, of the Sixth Army Corps. At Crampton's Gap. in the South Monutain, the corps came up with the enemy, and the regiment was here for the first time under fire. though not in the front line. After crossing the mountain, Col. Bossert was ordered with a detach ment made up of the different regiments of the bri- gade, to proceed in the direction of Harper's Ferry and establish a line across the valley to guard against sur- prise from that direction. The rest of the regiment was assigned to the charge of the wagon train. As the battle of Antietam opened (September 17). Col. Bossert drew in his detachment and rejoined the bri- gade in the field. Company I of the regiment sup- ported a battery during the battle. but the other com panies were held in reserve. After assisting to bury the dead on the field of Antietam. the regiment marched to Bakersville on the 23d, and remained there on guard duty until October 10, 1862.


At this time, however, the rebel Gen. Stuart, with a strong force of cavalry, was making a raid into Pennsylvania. and the brigade then commanded by Gen. Pratt was sent in pursuit. The men were aroused from their sleep at midnight and put upon the march. and no balt was called until they were some distance north of Hagerstown. The pursuit was fruitless, though. and the command went into camp near Hagerstown, where it remained until Octo ber IS. The regiment (being the only nine months' regimeut in the brigade) was then ordered to the de- fenses of Washington, and, marching via Boonsboro and Frederick City. Md .. reached Washington on the 20th of the same month. At Washington, an excel- lent opportunity was given for drill and discipline, which was studiously improved.


When the Union army under Gen. Burnside reached Fredericksburg, Va., the regiment was again placed in the field, and marching down to a point op- posite Acquia Creek, crossed the river. Here Col. Bossert was placed in command of the post, with a

brigade composed of his own regiment, four regi ments of New Jersey troops and one from New York. and was charged with the duty of guarding the land ing and the railroad leading to Fredericksburg. The regiment remained on duty here until Burnside opened his second campaign (January 20, 1863), when it was ordered to the front and assigned to the Third Brigade, First Division, First Army Corps. Gen. Paul. in command of the brigade and Wadsworth of the division. Upon the abandonment of the cam- paign, it went into camp at Belle Plain.


Under Cooper, in a campaign which opened on the 27th of April. the regiment moved out with the corps, and crossing the Rappahannock at Franklin's Crossing, under a heavy artillery fire, took position on the south bank and built temporary earthworks. Here it remained exposed to a violent fire of the ene- my's artillery until the night of the 1st of May, when the corps was ordered away to Chancellorsville, where the mainbody of the army was in position. and where the premonitions of hard fighting were strongly marked. Accordingly, it recrossed the river. marched to the United States ford, passed the stream, and after having just encamped for the night near its banks, was suddenly aroused and moved to the front. on the extreme right of the line. the Eleventh Corps having in the meantime been routed by the army of Stonewall Jackson. There was no further serious fighting on this line, however, and three days after. on May 6, it returned with the army via Falmouth, to Acquia Creek. On the 25th of May. the term of enlistment having expired, the regiment was ordered to Harris- burg, Penn. That city was reached May 27, and, on the 1st day of June, 1863, the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers was formally mustered out of service.
