THE FIFTY-FIRST REGIMENT.
The portion of this regiment that was recruited in Clearfield county was ex- ceedingly small, only comprising a contingent of sixteen men, enlisted by Peter A. Gaulin, who afterward was promoted to captain of Company G. A major portion of these were enlisted in October, 1861, for the regular three years service, but some slight accessions were made in 1864.
The greater part of the regiment was raised in the counties of Montgomery, Union, Snyder, Centre, and Northampton. The field officers were John F. Hartranft, colonel ; Thomas S. Bell, lieutenant-colonel; Edwin Schall, major.
On the 6th day of January, 1862, the regiment embarked for Roanoke Island, where they participated in the operations at that point, and moved next in the expedition to Newbern. Afterwards they were engaged at Cedar Moun- tain and the second battle at Bull Run. At Antietam they were under a terrible fire and made a gallant record in that battle. From Antietam it went before Fredericksburg, and subsequently was ordered to Fortress Monroe. It then followed the fortunes and shared the hardships and privations of the Ninth Army Corps, and participated in the Knoxville campaign. During the spring campaign it pushed forward to the N. River where they again met the enemy. From this time Colonel Hartranft was in command as brigadier- general.
Next a succession of movements brought them to Cold Harbor, where a heavy loss was sustained. Its next engagement was at Petersburg, Va. Here it formed a part of the storming column that followed the explosion of the mine, but was ordered back, there being no necessity for so strong a force. The regiment then participated in the succession of battles at Poplar Springs Church, Reams's Station, Hatcher's Run, and in the final attack which resulted in the evacuation of Richmond. On the 27th day of July, 1865, it was mus- tered out of service at Alexandria, Va.
Those of the regiment from Clearfield county were recruited mainly from the northern part. The muster-roll of that part of Company G shows the name, rank, date of muster, and disposition of each man.

FIFTY-NINTH REGIMENT-SECOND CAVALRY.
The proportion of this regiment that was recruited in Clearfield county was exceedingly small, less than fifty men, and they were attached to Company F. These men were recruited in the eastern part of the county by Thomas G. Snyder, who was made first lieutenant, and who died of wounds received at Occoquan, Va., on December 28th, 1862. The regiment was raised in the fall of 1861, in various sections of the State, and rendezvoused at Camp Patterson, six miles from Philadelphia. The field officers were as follows : Richard Price Butler, colonel ; Joseph P. Brinton, lieutenant-colonel ; Charles F. Taggart and J. Archambault, majors. The regiment was well disciplined, many of its officers having acquired some experience in the three months service. The colonel had served in Mexico, and Major Archambault was one of Napoleon's

veterans. At Baltimore the regiment was reviewed by General Dix. At Cloud's Mills it was assigned to the brigade commanded by General Cooke, First Reserve Army Corps, General Sturgis, but in August was transferred to General Buford's brigade. Its first engagement took place near Culpepper, and afterward participated in the Bull Run fight, where it lost heavily. On September 10, Buford was appointed to McClellan's staff, and Colonel Price succeeded to the command of the brigade. On October I the regiment was transferred to General Bayard's command, and assigned to the First Brigade. In November they engaged the enemy and were compelled to retire. They were constantly scouting until late in December, when, on the 28th, it fell into an ambuscade at Occoquan and suffered a great loss. Lieutenant Thomas G. Snyder was mortally wounded and captured here. He died in the enemy's hands. In killed, wounded, and misssing it lost over one hundred men. The regiment wintered at Accotink.
In April, 1863, at Fairfax Court-House, it was assigned to the Second Brigade of General Stahel's Division. In June it participated in the Gettys- burg campaign, conducted twenty-five hundred prisoners to Westminster, and on the 7th rejoined the army at Middletown. It started in pursuit of Lee's army and went as far as Warrenton, and afterward did guard duty at Meade's headquarters. It was then assigned to the Second Brigade. Its subsequent history is told by the engagement at Beverly's Ford, on the heights around Rappahannock Station, the raid on Luray, after which it again went into winter quarters. The next year it moved with the Army of the Potomac and went with Sheridan on his memorable raid, and rejoined the army on the 25th. In Sheridan's second raid it also engaged. Its subsequent career was identified with the Army of the Potomac, at Wyatt's Farm, Boydton Plank Road, Mc- Dowell's Hill, and Five Forks, and was present at Lee's surrender at Ap- pomattox. The regiment was mustered out of service at Cloud's Mills, July 13, 1865, after which "the boys" returned home, all but the dead, whose bones are bleaching from the Potomac to the Blackwater.
EIGHTY-FOURTH PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
Was organized under a special order from the war department, issued by Gen- eral Cameron, then secretary of war, to General J. Y. James, of Warren county. William G. Murray, of Blair county, as colonel ; Thomas C. McDowell, of Dauphin county, as lieutenant-colonel; Walter Barrett, of Clearfield county, as major ; Thomas H. Craig, of Blair county, as adjutant ; Dr. G. F. Hoop, of Clearfield county, as surgeon ; C. A. W. Redlick, of Allegheny county, as assistant surgeon; Alexander MacLeod, of Clearfield, as chaplain, and J. Miles Kephart, of Centre county, as quartermaster.
The point of rendezvous was Camp Crossman, three miles from Hunting- don. Late in the fall of 1861 the regiment moved to Camp Curtin, at Harris-

burg. In December of the same year the regiment was ordered to Hancock, Md., to protect that point from a threatened invasion by the command of General Jackson. There the regiment received their arms in the afternoon, and the next morning, before daylight, ordered to march to the town of Bath to assist in bringing away a battery of artillery. Before they reached that point they were informed of the near approach of Jackson's army. They suc- ceeded in securing the artillery, but one-half of the regiment was compelled to wade the Potomac River to escape capture.
From there, under command of General Lander, they marched to Cumber- land, Md., from whence, in a few days, they went into camp at a point on the Paw Paw River, where General Lander formed his division. They remained at this point until the early spring of 1862. General Lander having died dur- ing the winter, General James Shields was appointed to the command.
As soon as the season permitted, the camp was broken up and the division moved to Martinsburg, Va. At this time Clearfield county was represented by Company G, captain, Merrick Howsler, of Cameron county ; Company H, captain, William M. Behan ; Company I, captain, Joseph L. Kirby, first lieu- tenant, Clarence L. Barrett, second lieutenant, John B. Ferguson ; Company K, captain, Matthew Ogden, and second lieutenant, John S. Jury ; also from Clearfield county was Fred Barrett and Richard H. Shaw, hospital stewards. At the point last above referred to, the Eighty-fourth was brigaded with the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania, the Fourteenth Indiana, and the Thirteenth Indiana, under the command of Colonel Nathan Kimball, of the Fourteenth Indiana. Upon the arrival of the division in Martinsburg, immediate prepar- ation was made to attack General Jackson at Winchester, Va. In less than a week the whole force was marching to that point. When the division arrived at Winchester, it was found that Jackson had retired down the Shenandoah valley.
General Shields immediately put the division in light marching order, moved down the valley to Strasburg, reconnoitering as he proceeded, re- mained there one night. The next morning, by a forced march, returned to Winchester, passing hurriedly through the town, encamping upon the other side of the town some two or three miles distant. The people of Winchester, of southern sympathy, were greatly elated at what they supposed and termed "Shields's scare." Belle Boyd, a woman of subsequent notoriety, immediately rode to Jackson's camp and informed him of Shields's hasty retreat, and the supposed demoralized condition of his army -at least that was the information received by Shields's division.
Early in the morning of March 22 the pickets were driven in, and by ten o'clock the battle of Kernstown was commenced. It raged fiercely until in the afternoon. Here Colonel Murray was killed, evidently by a sharpshooter. The figure " 84" in his cap was driven into his brain by the force of the bullet ;
I32
HISTORY OF CLEARFIELD COUNTY.
also Captain Patrick Gallagher, of Company E, and Lieutenant Charles Reem, of Company A. Nearly one-half of the regiment were killed or wounded. The regiment was made the subject of a special complimentary order from the commanding general for gallantry upon this occasion.
After the battle of Winchester, Major Barrett being in command, on ac- count of the severe loss it had sustained, the regiment was assigned to provost duty at Berryville, Va. While here Lieutenant-Colonel McDowell joined the regiment for the first time. In a short time it was ordered to Winchester for provost duty, Lieutenant-Colonel McDowell as commandant, and Major Barrett as provost marshal. After a short stay at that place they were ordered to rejoin the division, which was then under orders to join General McDowell's forces at Falmouth. On this march, at the town of Luray, Colonel McDowell resigned his commission and severed his connection with the regiment. The command again devolved upon Major Barrett, there being neither colonel nor lieutenant-colonel. They proceeded to Falmouth in a ragged and forlorn con- dition, having had no clothing issued to them since the winter before. After three days' rest at Falmouth, Shields's division was again ordered to retrace their steps up the Luray Valley to head off Jackson, who was then on his way to join Lee in front of McClellan, who (Lee) was being pursued by Fremont and Sigel. By forced marches the first brigade of the division to which the Eighty-fourth was attached, reached Port Republic at the same time that Jack- son's army appeared upon the other side of the river Shenandoah.
The object of the Federal troops was to destroy the bridge in order to pre- vent Jackson's artillery from crossing. So near did they come to accomplish- ing this, that several regimental officers were close enough to the bridge to see General Jackson and several members of his staff ride through the bridge to rejoin his command. Of course he was unrecognized at the time, and the incident would not have been known had it not been recorded by General Dick Taylor in his description of the scene. Then commenced what has often been claimed the most fiercely-contested battle of the war, considering the numbers engaged and the inequality of the opposing forces. The Federal troops, all told, did not have over sixteen hundred infantry, four companies of cavalry, and one battery of two guns of the First Virginia Artillery, while Jackson's force amounted to about seventeen thousand effective men.
The Eighty-fourth formed the left wing along with the two pieces of artil- lery. Colonel Tyler was in command. He ordered a charge to be made up a hill by the Eighty-fourth, which cost the regiment in killed and wounded about eighty men, which was fully one-fourth of their effective men in the field, their ranks having been decimated by sickness and exhaustion from the forced marches. For a period of about ten days previous to the battle, no rations had been issued. The troops were compelled to live from food obtained by foraging parties, and which principally consisted of mutton without salt, hick- ory ashes being used in its stead.
I33
CLEARFIELD'S MILITARY HISTORY.
Notwithstanding the disadvantage the Federal troops were under, the gal- lant soldiers held Jackson's army at bay from eleven o'clock A. M. of the 8th day of June until four o'clock P. M. of the 9th, when they were compelled to fall back. The retreat was a running fight from the scene of battle to Conrad Station. General Shields, hurrying forward, joined the retreating force about four miles from the scene of conflict. He immediately ordered Major Barrett to form his regiment and protect the rear of the retreating army, which kept them in a constant fight for a distance of about ten miles. After this provision by General Shields, not a prisoner was lost, although many were killed and wounded. The division returned to Luray, broken in health and decimated in number ..
The Eighty-fourth at this time could not muster over two hundred effec- tive men. Major Barrett was ordered from there to Harrisburg to consult with Governor Curtin as to filling up the regiment, both in rank, line and file. At this time there were not captains to over half the companies, but one field officer, the adjutant, having been wounded at Port Republic, left the regiment in a fearfully demoralized condition. The result of Major Barrett's visit to Harrisburg was an immediate movement to fill up the ranks, and a demand from Governor Curtin that the regiment should be given an opportunity to gather in its scattered troops from the various hospitals. Late in June Colonel Bowman, of Columbia county, was appointed colonel, Major Barrett having declined that commission, but was promoted to lieutenant-colonel; Adjutant Craig was appointed major.
In the mean time, under the command of the senior captain, the division moved to near Alexandria. Two brigades were shipped to join McClellan on the Peninsula, and two went into camp, and thus was Shields's famous division dissolved.
Colonel S. S. Carroll, having been promoted brigadier-general, was placed in command of the new brigade in Ricketts's Division of McDowell's Corps.
When Pope was placed in command, Ricketts's Division, to which the Eighty-fourth belonged, marched to Gainesville, and engaged with that division in all the fighting through the second battle of Bull Run.
In August, 1862, Lieutenant-Colonel Barrett received a severe injury from his horse falling upon him, and in September resigned his commission. Major Craig was appointed to succeed him. Captain Milton Opp, of Company F, was commissioned major.
The above has been written in detail, for the reason that up to this period the Eighty-fourth had a distinctive record, being merged only in Shields's Division, and operating in West Virginia and in the valleys of Shenandoah and Luray, away from large armies, but from and after this date it became a part of the grand Army of the Potomac, sharing in its marches, privations, hard- ships, battles, and glories ; and the history of that grand army is a history of 18

the Eighty-fourth, as well as of the other regiments that composed it. Fol- lowing, under the various commanders, from the second battle of Bull Run, it participated in all the battles until it was finally merged, January 13, 1865, with the Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania Infantry, and ceased to hold its place in the Pennsylvania line.
On the IIth of June, 1863, Colonel Bowman was ordered to special duty at Washington, and never afterwards was with the regiment. After the con- solidation George Zinn was commissioned colonel, Samuel Bryan, major, as representing the Eighty-fourth Regiment in the new organization. The Eighty-fourth took part in the battles of Winchester, Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court-House, Cold Harbor, siege of Petersburg, besides scores of engagements as a regiment, or with brigaded divi- sion, which, having been overshadowed by the great battles of the war, are not fixed in the minds and recollection of the people. No braver or better com- panies were in that regiment than those furnished by Clearfield county. Com- pany K, commanded by Captain Matthew Ogden; Company I, by Captain Joseph Kirby; Company H, by Captain William Bahan; Company G, by Captain Merrick Housler, were either in whole or major part recruited from Clearfield county.
Before the regiment heard a "gun-fire," but being in line of battle at Han- cock, Md., the eccentric but daring General Lander rode along the line, closely inspecting the men. He turned to the field officers and said : "By gosh! those men will fight."
