CHAPTER XXI.
LUZERNE IN THE CIVIL WAR-HISTORIES OF THE FIFTY- SIXTH, FIFTY-SEVENTH AND FIFTY-EIGHTH REGIMENTS.
HEN the 56th regiment left Camp Curtin, March 8th, 1862, for Washington, it had only eight and one-half companies, of which Company G was from Luzerne county. On the 27th it embarked for Acquia Land- ing, where it arrived the next day. It was en- gaged till May toth repairing the track and landing of the Fredericksburg and Richmond Railroad. In the latter part of May it went forward on the campaign of 1862, and was first engaged at Gainesville on the 29th of August. It was engaged in the second battle of Bull Run as a support to other troops. It inarched with the army to South Mountain, where it was engaged with the brigade of General Doubleday, of which it was a part, and in this action its loss was severe. It took part in the battle of Antietam, but in this action it did not suffer severely. On the 2nd of November it was again in ac- tion, at Union, where it lost five killed and ten wounded. Although under fire at the battle of Fredericksburg, it was not actively engaged and suffered no loss. It went into winter quarters at Pratt's Landing on the 28th of December, and with the exception of the " mud march," in which it participated, remained there till the latter part of April, 1863.
At the battle of Chancellorsville the 56th, which then numbered 21 officers and 289 enlisted men, was deployed as skirmishers to cover the crossing of a party for the purpose of dislodging the enemy's sharpshooters. It

was not otherwise actively engaged, but in this service it lost 2 killed and 7 wounded. It was again under fire at Brandy Station.
At the battle of Gettysburg the 56th was the first that fired, and thus the battle was opened by this regiment. It was closely engaged during both days and its losses amounted to about ten killed, sixty-five wounded and eighty missing. In November at Mine Run the regiment was charged with the duty of guarding and afterward destroying a bridge, which it accomplished with the loss of five men wounded. In March, 1864, a portion of the regiment, having re-enlisted, were granted a veteran furlough.
On their return they entered upon the memorable campaign of the Wilderness, and were engaged on the 5th and 6th of May, in the first of which encounters lieutenant Miller, of Company G, was killed, The regi- ment fought again at Laurel Hill, at Bloody Angle on the IIth, and at Jericho ford on the 21st. It was engaged in heavy skirmishing on the 25th and was in the action at Bethesda Church on the 30th. From this time till the explosion of the mine at Petersburg the regiment shared the fortunes and vicissitudes of the army and was fre- quently in action. August 18th it was engaged at Yel- low House, on the Weldon railroad, and captured a battle-flag; and the next day was in action with its brigade, when the enemy were driven from their works, leaving 50 killed, three battle-flags and 300 prisoners. It was engaged at Hatcher's Run in October, and again at the same place on the 5th and 6th of February, 1865. It shared the honors and hardships of the final campaign and was mustered out at Philadelphia July Ist, 1865.
Below will be found the record of Company G of the 56th. The dates of muster-in appear in connection with the names. Where nothing is said to the contrary the men were mustered out July Ist, 1865. We give also a synopsis of the record of the
