In December the 5 2nd, with other troops, went to Beau- fort, and thence in the latter part of January, 1863, to Port Royal, S. C. From there in April, 1863, it went on a transport up the North Edisto, to co-operate in an at- tack on the city of Charleston. The attack failed, and the regiment, after drifting among the Sea islands some days and passing an uncomfortable night at sea, landed at Beaufort. On the 11th of July it moved to Folly island, and on the 9th went up the Stono river. with an- other regiment to make a diversion in favor of the attack on Morris island. It landed at James island at mid- night, and in the morning attacked and drove in the pickets and cavalry of the enemy. The rebel force on the island was reinforced, and on the 16th an attack was made by the enemy. On the night of the 17th the island was evacuated, and the 52nd returned to Folly island. The regiment participated in the siege of Fort Wagner during the perilous forty or fifty days that it lasted; when preparations were made for the final assault. It was formed ready to pass the fort and attack Fort Gregg, when intelligence was received that the works and the island were evacuated. During the operations against this fort the regiment suffered severely, but no exact record of its casualties can be given.


In December many of the men in the regiment re-en- listed, and were granted a veteran furlough. When they returned the regiment was recruited to the maximum and newly armed and equipped. It remained at Hilton Head till the 20th of May, 1864, during which time it made occasional expeditions among the Sea islands.


On the morning of the 4th of July the duty of sur- prising and taking Fort Johnson in the badly planned at- tempt on the rebel works at Charleston harbor was as- signed to the 52nd. Accordingly, just at daybreak, one hundred and twenty-five men, under the command of Colonel Hoyt, landed, took a two-gun battery, rushed for- ward, scaled the parapet of the fort and entered the works. Failing to receive the support which they expect- ed, they were overpowered by superior numbers and


made prisoners. Seven of the assaulting party were killed and sixteen wounded. Of the balance, who were made prisoners, upwards of fifty died at Andersonville and Columbia, and the officers, after a period of confine- ment at Macon, were transferred to Charleston and placed under the fire of the Union batteries on Morris island. During the summer and autumn of 1864 the balance of the regiment was on Morris island, where the men did duty as heavy artillery.


During the winter of 1864-5 they were engaged in picketing the harbor in boats; a duty that was anything but enviable by reason of the exposures and hardships which it involved. February 18th, 1865, a boat crew under the command of Major Hennesy rowed across the harbor and landed near Fort Sumter. All was silent, and as the party cautiously entered the ruins they were not challenged. The fort was deserted, and they un- furled over it the flag of the 52nd regiment. The party . at once proceeded to the city, which they entered before the last of the rebel soldiers had evacuated it.


Captain R. W. Bannahan, of Tunkhannock, and Lieu- tenant T. M. Burr, of Meshoppen, were of this party. The former was left in command of the party that gar- risoned the fort.


The regiment joined the army of General Sherman as it marched north after crossing Georgia, and was with him when the rebel General Johnston surrendered. A week later it returned to Harrisburg, where on the 12th of July, 1865, it was mustered out the service.


The 52nd was composed of men who entered the ser- vice for three years. Those who remained in the regiment to the close of the war were mustered out July 12th, 1865, except members of Company A, who were mustered out three days later. Where a date immediately follows the name of a man in the subjoined list, it is the date of his being mustered in. Companies A, H and I were recruited in Luzerne county, the first at Wilkes-Barre; Company B in Wyoming county; Company F in Luzerne and Brad- ford, and Company K in Luzerne and Schuylkill.
