YOMPANY F, of the Eighty-fifth Pennsylvania Infantry, and a (
) portion of Company G, were recruited in Greene County. The regiment was organized on the 12th of November, 1861, by the choice of the following officers: Joshua B. Howell, colonel; Norton M'Giffin, lieutenant-colonel; and Absalom Guiler, major. During the winter the regiment was engaged in drill and in fatigue duty, across the east branch of the Potomac, in the construction of works for the defense of Washington. In the spring of 1862 it moved to Meridian Hill, and was brigaded with the 101st and 103d Pennsyl- vania regiments, and the 96th New York, under command of Gen- eral Wessells.
In the Peninsula campaign, under Mcclellan, the regiment was engaged in the siege of Yorktown, and in the battle of Williamsburg with a loss of two wounded, one mortally. At Fair Oaks, on the 31st of May, while engaged in fortifying the position, it was vigor- ously attacked by the enemy under General Joseph E. Johnston. The regiment occupied the rifle-pits on the right of the main work, a re- doubt held by Hart's battery. General Casey, who held the front was vigorously pushed, but made a stout resistance, throwing grape and canister with terrible effect. He was finally obliged to retire to his supports. In the seven days' battles which ensued, which resulted in the change of base by Mcclellan from the Chickahominy to the James, the regiment was not actively engaged. When McClellan evacuated the Peninsula, and went to the support of Pope before Washington, Keyes' corps, the Fourth, to which the regiment be- longed, remained on duty at Fortress Monroe.
On the 5th of December, 1862, Wessell's brigade was ordered to Newberne, North Carolina, to reinforce Foster, and upon its arrival

joined in an expedition to destroy a rebel gun-boat on the Neuse, break up the railroad bridge near Goldsboro, and make a diversion in favor of Burnside at Fredericksburg. At West Creek the enemy was found ready to dispute the passage. Wessells had the advance, and throwing the Eigth-fifth to the right of the road, and Ninth New Jersey to the left, crossed the stream and advanced upon the flanks of the enemy's position, compelling a hasty retreat. Two pieces of ar- tillery and a number of prisoners were the fruits of victory. On the following morning the command moved forward, Wessells upon the left, and soon came upon the enemy in the well made fortifications of Kingston. But by pushing through a swamp, thought to be inacces- sible, they entered at the side lett open, and immediately charged in face of a hot fire, and soon put the enemy to ront. A brisk skirm- ish was had at White Hall, and on the 17th the defenders of the bridge at Goldsboro were swept back and the destruction of the bridge, the main object of the expedition, was effected.
Towards the close of January, 1863, General Foster was ordered with a part of his army to proceed to Sonth Carolina, to co-oper- ate with General Hunter in his operations against Charleston. Col- onel Howell now had command of the brigade, and Lientenant-Col- onel Purviance of the regiment. At the head of Folly Island the troops witnessed the first bombardment of Fort Sumter, by Admiral Dupont. In June, 1863, General Hunter was superceded by Gen- eral Gilmore. To possess Morris Island it was necessary to erect powerful batteries at the north end of Folly Island. While at this work the dense underbrush shielded the working parties from view. In this duty the 85th shared, working by night, and watching by day. When all was ready the obstructions were cleared away, and fire opened from forty-four heavy guns. An assault followed by which the enemy's first line of works was cleared, but Fort Wagner, the main work, still held ont. Gilmore determined to reduce it by regu- lar siege approaches. "Ground was broken on the 21st of July, and the work, which was terribly exhausting, was pushed forward with the utmost vigor, day and night; neither the heat of a tropical climate, nor the missiles of a vigilant foe, were allowed to interfere with the labor. On the 20th of August the 85th Pennsylvania, 100th New York, and the 3d New Hampshire, were detailed to oc- cupy the advanced trenches, each twenty-four hours in turn. The trenches were shallow, and afforded little protection from the enemy's fire. On the left were his powerful guns on James Island and in Fort Johnson; in front those of Sumter, Gregg and Wagner; and on the right Fort Moultrie. The nights were damp and cold, and during the day the thermometer stood 100° in the shade. The casu- alties were numerons, and the sick list increased with alarming rapid- ity. The 85th took its turn in this terrible ordeal, and on the 21st

had one killed and twenty wounded, three mortally; on the 24th, one killed and seven wounded, one mortally; on the 27th, two killed and eight wounded, three mortally; on the 30th, four killed and eight wounded, Lieutenant-Colonel Purviance being of the number killed; on the 2d of September, five wounded, one mortally." The 85th with an aggregate strength of 451 on going upon the outer works, could muster but 270 fit for duty when recalled. Two at- tempts to surprise and capture Fort Gregg proving unsuccessful, General Gilmore determined to again attempt to take it by assault. But the bombardment by sea and land for forty hours induced the enemy to retire, and the island was occupied.
Upon the death of Colonel Purviance, Major Campbell was made Lieutenant-Colonel, and Captain Abraham, Major. Active operations were continued until the middle of April, 1864, when the Tenth corps was ordered north to reinforce the Army of the James. The 85th was of the first brigade, Howell's, first division, Terry's. The usual service of fortifying and picket duty continued until the 20th, when Howell's brigade was ordered to charge and drive out the enemy in front. This was gallantly and successfully executed, but with a loss of two killed and twenty-one wounded. The rebel General Walker was wounded and taken prisoner.
On the 14th of June, Grant's troops began to cross the James, and the Tenth corps took possession of the works between the James and the Appomattox. The enemy soon pressed heavily in front of Howell, and the fighting was of unusual severity. Finally the Union line was pushed back to the original line of battle. The loss of the 85th was five killed and two wounded. In the expedition to Deep Bottom, which was made on the 13th of August, in which the Second and Tenth corps engaged the corps of Longstreet and Hill, the 85th had two killed and nineteen wounded, five mortally. In the affair of the 16th, Terry's division was hotly engaged, the 85th participating in a charge, in which the enemy, by withholding his fire while pro- tected by works, was able to deliver it in a manner to produce great destruction, the regiment losing nine killed and fifty-four wounded. In the operations on the south side of the Appomattox by Terry's troops the regiment participated, sustaining slight losses, until the 14th of October, when the veterans and recruits were trans- ferred to the 188th, and on the 22d of November it was mustered out of service.
