MAJ. THOMAS YEAGER, son of Henry Yeag- er, and grandson of Rev. John Conrad Yeager, was born Nov. 2, 1825, in Upper Saucon town- ship, Lehigh county.

In 1859, while a merchant in Allentown, he organized the Allen Infantry and became cap- tain of the company; he continued to be the captain until the breaking out of the Civil War, when he tendered the company to the governor, who accepted it, and it was mustered into the United States service on April 18, 1861, as one of five "First Defender" companies of Pennsyl- vania. It has been declared by students of the Civil War tactics that he saved the Capitol and President Lincoln from capture by the superior rebel force encamped across the Potomac, by his bold and defiant declaration to certain Confed- erate officers, while marching down Pennsylvania avenue, "We are 5,000 strong, and 10,000 more are on the trains right behind us."

He served his first enlistment of three months ; and on Nov. 7, 1861, he was commissioned major of the 53d Regt. Pa. Vol. Infantry. He was recognized as a fearless officer. At the Battle of Fair Oaks, on June 1, 1862, he was suddenly shot while endeavoring to locate the enemy, who were secreted in a woods; and when he was picked up after the battle by his aid, James J. Hamman, his body was found pierced by three bullets and his horse's body by eleven. His un- timely death caused great regret at Allentown, as well as in the army, more especially after it was learned that the President on the preceding day had commissioned him, a brigadier-general in recognition of his bravery. Several weeks after- ward, the body, through the efforts of Col. John W. Forney, was forwarded to his family at Al- lentown, where it was buried with unprecedented military honors in Union Cemetery. The grave is marked by a small marble shaft on the main driveway, several hundred feet west of the en- trance.

Yeager Post, No. 13, G. A. R., was named after him.

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

the Ist Penna. Regt., composed of the members of the Allen Rifles, commanded by Capt. Tilgh- man H. Good, and the Jordan Artillerists, com- manded by Capt. Wm. H. Gausler, both of Al- lentown.

In obedience to the expressed desire of the state authorities that companies reporting should consist of not less than 100 men, the two com- panies mentioned voted, at their respective armories, on the evening of April 17th, to con- solidate.

At 9 o'clock on Thursday morning, April 18th the men assembled on Hamilton street, be- tween Sixth and Seventh streets, and effected an organization by the selection of commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the two com- panies in equal proportions as follows :

Captain, William H. Gausler (Artillerists) Ist Lieut., Emanuel P. Rhoads (Rifles) 2d Lieut., Benj. C. Roth (Artillerists) Ist Sergt., Abiel Heilman ( Artillerists) 2d Sergt., Edwin G. Minnich (Rifles) 3d Sergt., Henry Fried (Artillerists) 4th Sergt., Noah Trumbor (Rifles) Ist Corp., Henry Trumbor (Rifles)

2d Corp., Mahlon Fried (Artillerists) 3d Corp., Daniel G. Miller (Rifles) 4th Corp., Charles Mertz (Rifles ) Musician, Julius Benkert (Rifles) Musician, Augustus Ebert (Artillerists)

Privates from Artillerists, 23 Privates from Rifles, 45

They marched down Hamilton street, accom- panied by an excited and cheering throng of peo- ple, to the music of fife and drum, to the East Penn. Junction and took a train for Harrisburg, where they arrived at 3 p. m., and encamped in Camp Curtin.

On April 20th, the company was mustered into the United States service for three months as Co. I, by Capt. Fitz-John Porter, United States Army, and with eight other companies, constituted the Ist Regiment Penna. Vols. Sam- uel Yohe, of Easton, captain of Co. C, was chosen colonel of the regiment; T. H. Good, captain of the Allen Rifles, lieutenant colonel ; and Thomas W. Lynn, major.

The men were supplied with muskets and 12 rounds of ball-cartridges. The ladies of Har- risburg provided them with two days' rations of boiled fresh beef and hard tack. The regiment was ordered to protect the line and bridge of the Northern Central R. R. from Washington to Baltimore, and re-open and establish commun- ication between the two cities, which had been destroyed by the Baltimore mob, after the pas- sage of the 6th Mass. Regt. the day before.

During the night of April 20th, the Regiment, under the command of Brigadier-General Geo. C. Wynkopp, boarded N. C. R. R. cars for

Washington, but reaching within nine miles of Baltimore, they found Gun-Powder Bridge burned by the Rebels. They disembarked and went into Camp at Cockeysville, Md. On the way, in hot cattle cars, the fresh beef soured, and the men were without rations for three days.

Obeying the order of the governor requiring full ranks, this regiment lost a day, and finding the railroad bridge at Havre-de-Grace destroyed, could not proceed to Baltimore, and by this cir- cumstance they lost the proud distinction of "First Defenders," though they were the first Pennsylvania regiment which reported for duty at Harrisburg and the first regiment mustered in and equipped in the state.

On April 25th, the regiment changed their quarters to York, Pa., where the men remained two weeks, drilling and preparing for the field. About six miles from York the regiment met a provision train, which supplied much-needed food.

On May 14th the regiment was detailed to guard the N. C. R. R. from the Pennsylvania line to Baltimore. The turbulent crowd opposed the way until Lieutenant-Colonel Good mount- ed a passenger car, and commanded them to make room immediately or take the consequences. This had the desired effect and the regiment pro- ceeded through the city to a state asylum which was then in course of erection. Its presence here during the next two weeks assisted most effectually a sentiment in that city for the pres- ervation of the Union. On the 25th it was re- lieved from duty there, and afterward, until July 8th, performed guard duty at various places, more especially at Frederick City, Md.

The following order was then received:

HEADQUARTERS, DEPT. OF PENNA., MARTINSBURG, Va., July 8, 1861. Col. Samuel Yohe, Commanding Ist Penna. Vols .:

SIR: I am instructed by the commanding Gen- eral to say that your Regiment has been selected to garrison this important post, on account of the confidence reposed in the administrative qualities of the commander and the heretofore good conduct of the Regiment, which give assurance of the safety of the depot, the inhabitants will be protected, and many now opposed to us made friends of while the lukewarm will be strengthened in their feelings. 1 am sir, very respectfully,

Your obedient servant,

F. J. PORTER, A. A. G.

The regiment remained at Martinsburg until July 17th, then rejoined the division at Charles- town, and assisted in making demonstrations in favor of the army operating under General Mc- Dowell in front of Washington, until the 21st; then it was moved to Harper's Ferry; on the 23d to Sandy Hook, and on the evening of that

day took the train for Harrisburg, where the men were honorably discharged and mustered out of service on July 26th. Immediately aft- erward Co. I took the train for Allentown, where they were received by a rejoicing, cheer- ing multitude, and entertained with a fine din- ner at the Allen House.

NINTH REGIMENT.

THREE MONTHS' SERVICE.

Of this regiment, recruited under the call for 75,000 men, Co. D was from Lehigh county, and about one-half of its members were enlisted at Catasauqua, where a meeting was held imme- diately after the publication of the President's call. Patriotic addresses were made by David Thomas, M. H. Horn, George E. Cyphers, and others, and a feeling was aroused which bore im- mediate fruit. At a second meeting, held on April 17th, the number of enlistments was in- creased to forty. These men were consolidated with a squad enlisted at Allentown, and left for Harrisburg on the 19th, where they were mus- tered into service on the 24th.

At the town meeting in Catasauqua the follow- ing persons were appointed a committee to go with the enlisted men to Harrisburg, and attend to their wants until they were mustered into service : Joshua Hunt, M. H. Horn, William Miller, C. D. Fuller, V. W. Weaver, and George W. Cyphers. After they were duly mus- tered, Governor Curtin commissioned M. H. Horn, of this committee, with authority to visit their camps, and attend to their wants generally. From the date of muster the Ninth Regiment re- mained at Camp Curtin until May 4th, when, having received arms and accoutrements, it pro- ceeded to West Chester, where a camp was estab- lished and daily drill had. There it remained until the 26th of May, when it moved to Wil- mington, Del., and remained in camp at Hare's Corner, until June 6th, when it joined Gen. Pat- terson's command at Chambersburg, Pa., and was attached to the 4th Brigade, Ist Division,

commanded by Col. Dixon H. Miles, of the reg- ular army. The regiment advanced to the Po- tomac, on Sunday, June 16th, and encamped on the road between Williamsport and Martinsburg. It subsequently recrossed the Potomac and en- camped near Williamsport until July Ist, when the whole army at that place removed across the river in the direction of Martinsburg, Va. The enemy under Jackson having retreated from Fall- ing Waters, the 9th encamped on the 2d of July on their camp grounds. From the 2d to the 8th they remained in and about Martinsburg, then moved out on the Winchester pike to Bunker Hill. A general forward movement was decided upon with a design of giving battle to the enemy concentrated at Winchester, but before the move- ment was commenced the order to advance was countermanded. On the 17th, the regiment was removed to Charlestown; on the 21st to Har- per's Ferry; on the 22d to Hagerstown, and on the 24th to Harrisburg, where the men were mustered out. The Catasauqua men, on their return home, were tendered a collation, served in one of the Crane Iron Company buildings. The Allentown boys were also appropriately greeted.

FORTY-SIXTH REGIMENT.

THREE YEARS' SERVICE.

Immediately after the mustering out of the three months' men, Arnold C. Lewis (editor and publisher of the Catasauqua Herald), commenced recruiting a company for the three years' service, which became Co. C, of the 46th Regiment. The company was composed in part only of men from Catasauqua and vicinity, and mustered in Aug. 17, 1861. The regiment was recruited in North- ampton, Allegheny, Potter, Berks, Dauphin, and other counties.

The regimental organization was completed at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, on September Ist, as follows: Col. Joseph F. Knipe, Lieut-Col. James L. Selfridge, Maj. Arnold C. Lewis. The regiment was assigned to the Army of the Shen- andoah, and was posted on the Upper Potomac, along the Maryland shore, near Harper's Ferry. Soon after its arrival it was assigned to the Ist Brigade of the 2d Division. On the 24th of February, 1862, they crossed the Potomac, and

31I

WAR PERIODS.

occupied in turn Leesburg, Charlestown, Mar- tinsburg, and Winchester. Their first engage- ment with the Rebels was near Kernstown, and on the 25th of May, participated in the Battle of Winchester, where the Union Army, number- ing 7,000 men, contended with Jackson's forces of 20,000 for five hours. In this fight the 46th lost in killed, wounded, and missing, 17 men. On the 7th of August they were ordered towards Cedar Mountain, and on the 9th the whole divi- sion was advanced upon the Rebel lines. The position of the 46th was opposite the enemy's ad- vanced artillery, and upon this they charged with desperate valor. They were fearfully exposed to the enemy's artillery and strong lines of concealed infantry, which poured in upon them a merciless storm of shot and shell. The total loss of the regiment was 30 killed, 34 wounded, and 6 taken prisoners. In the Battle of Antietam they sup- ported Ricketts' Division. Upon the inaugura- tion of the Fredericksburg campaign the 46th was ordered forward from Fairfax. In the re- organization of the army, the 46th was made part of the 12th Brigade. On the 27th of April, 1863, the corps marched north to Kelly's Ford, crossed the Rappahannock and the Rapidan, and moved to Chancellorsville, and was here joined by the 3d and 5th Corps. The army under Gen- eral Hooker advanced May Ist, and was met by Stonewall Jackson's Corps on the 2d, about sun- down. Fighting immediately commenced. It was continued the whole night, and until the eve- ning of the 3d, both armies losing heavily. The 46th lost 4 killed, a large number wounded, and IO taken prisoners. On the evening of July Ist, the regiment arrived at Gettysburg, and was posted on the summit of Culp's Hill, where it held the extreme right of the line as far as Spang- ler's Spring. Owing to their sheltered position, the loss was small.

After the withdrawal of Lee's army into Vir- ginia the 46th was forwarded, with the 11th and 12th Corps, to the Rapidan and there detached from the Army of the Potomac and ordered to Tennessee. In January, 1864, a large proportion of its officers and men re-enlisted for a second term of three years, and joined General Sher- man's army at Chattanooga, where it entered the 20th Corps. They participated in all the battles fought under Sherman after that date, the most important of which were: Resaca, Dallas, Kene- saw, Peach-Tree Creek, Pine Knob, Marietta, and Atlanta. In these several engagements their loss in killed and wounded was about 150 men. On Sept. 1, 1864, Atlanta surrendered, and the hard fighting of the regiment ended.

On the 11th of November, Sherman com- menced his march to the sea. On the 21st of

December he reached Savannah; on the 17th of February, Columbia; on the 17th of March, Goldsboro. On the 26th of April, Johnson sur- rendered at Raleigh, and the army immediately commenced its homeward march. On the 16th of July, the 46th, after nearly four years of faith- ful service, was mustered out. An order was given to muster out at Alexandria, Va., but the regiment was not broken up until it reached Har- risburg.

The roster of the Lehigh men in Co. C of this regiment was as follows:
