Two HUNDRED AND SECOND REGIMENT. ONE YEAR'S SERVICE.
Company E of this regiment, raised in the Fall of 1864, went from Lehigh county. They rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, where the regi- ment was organized September 3d, with Walter H. Seip, of Lehigh county, as major. On the 10th the regiment proceeded to Chambersburg, and on the 29th started for Alexandria, from which place it was sent to duty on the Manasses Gap Railroad. Gen. Sheridan had just opened his campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, and over this road the supplies were transported. To keep it open was therefore of vital importance, and to break it up, hinder and destroy trains was a cherished purpose of the disloyal inhabi- tants dwelling along the line. Moseby and his guerrillas claimed this as their favorite stamp- ing ground. Frequent collisions occurred. When the triumphs of Sheridan were assured, and the enemy effectually routed, this railroad was abandoned, and the ties and rails were re- moved to Alexandria. In this laborious duty the regiment was engaged and when completed it retired to Alexandria, where it was assigned to guarding a portion of the Orange and Alex- andria Railroads, extending from Bull Run to Alexandria, with headquarters at Fairfax Sta- tion. In the vicinity of the station four large works were built, and the regiment was here kept busy in guarding the workmen.
Toward the close of May, 1865, the regi- ment was ordered to the anthracite coal regions of the state, with headquarters at Tamaqua, where the command was distributed in detach- ment to various points in that region. Toward the close of July the detachments assembled at Harrisburg, and the regiment was mustered out Aug. 3, 1865.

Two HUNDRED AND NINTH REGIMENT.
Company H of this regiment, from Lehigh county, was organized at Camp Curtin on the 16th of September, 1864. Immediately after its organization it moved up the James river, landing at Bermuda Hundred. It was placed at Camp Potter, where it remained two weeks, then posted to the left of Fort Harrison, midway be- tween the James and Appomattox rivers. Dur- ing the engagement at Fort Harrison, the regi- ment was ordered upon the parapet, creating the impression upon the enemy that a charge upon his flank was about to be delivered. The real charge upon the front was heroically made, and the fort was captured.
On the night of the 17th of November the enemy made an attack upon the picket line in considerable force. On the 24th, the regiment was transferred to the Army of the Potomac and the regiment was encamped on the commanding ground near Meade Station, the division, which was in command of Gen. Hartranft, being post- ed as a reserve to the other two divisions. Dur- ing the Winter the regiment was engaged in drill, in fatigue duty upon fortifications, and in the construction of roads, and was out upon oc- casional demonstrations upon the left.
At a little before daylight, on the morning of the 25th of March, 1865, the regiment was aroused by rapid and heavy firing in its front, and it was soon apparent that the lines, which were held by Gen. Wilcox's division, had been broken, and Fort. Steadman, in its immediate front, had been captured.
A battle ensued in which the regiment and two others from Pennsylvania, came off vic- torious, for which they were highly compliment- ed.
Preparations were made for a determined as- sault on the enemy's works at daylight on the morning of the 2d of April. Lieut .- Col. Mc- Call, who commanded the brigade, massed his force, by order of Gen. Hartranft, near the Av- ery House, at I a. m. Two hours later he led it to the front of Fort Sedgwick, and formed it in column of regiments, just inside the picket line, as a reserve to the Second Brigade, which was formed in a similar manner outside. At 4 o'clock the signal to advance was given, and

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
the regiment moved at double-quick after the column. At the picket line there was a mo- mentary check, occasioned by meeting numbers who came running back, and reporting a re- pulse. These were quickly rallied, pressed on- ward and gained the hostile front, capturing many prisoners, and turning the captured guns of the fort and batteries upon the enemy. It succeeded in holding the captured line, though hard pressed by the rebels. At night the firing gradually died away, and a heavy picket line was thrown out, the enemy's chevaux-de-frise being moved to the opposite side of his works. The command was early astir, and at daylight the pickets cautiously advanced. They soon found that the enemy had gone, and when the columns reached the city of Petersburg, they found it also abandoned. After remaining in the city until noon, it returned to camp. The division was now ordered to take charge of the army trains, and moved with them along the South Side Railroad, repairing the track as it went, until it reached Nottoway Court House, where it was halted, and the regiment remained until the 20th, the rebel army having surrendered on the 9th. From here it returned to City Point, and thence to Alexandria, where it was held until the 31st of May, when it was mustered out of service.
