CHAPTER XXIII.
LUZERNE IN THE CIVIL WAR-THE SEVENTY-FOURTH, SEVENTY-SIXTH AND SEVENTY-SEVENTH REGIMENTS.
HE 74th was recruited in the summer of 1861, mostly in Pittsburg, though Company A was in part from Wyoming county. It went to Washington in September and soon afterward to Virginia, where it went into winter quarters at Hunter's Chapel. The winter was spent in drill and fatigue duty, and on the opening of the cam- paign in 1862 the regiment was sent to General Fremont's command in West Virginia. Its march thither was attended with great fatigue and much suffering. After two weeks spent in picket and fatigue duty, with insuffi- cient subsistence, it went on a hurried march to Stras- burg, where it joined in the pursuit of Stonewall Jackson. At Cross Keys it was engaged, losing 6 killed and 13 wounded. The regiment arrived at Cedar Mountain too late to participate in the battle. Thence with the army it fell back toward Manassas; in the course of which movement the 74th came upon the rear of a column of the enemy, attacked it and checked its advance.
At the battle of Groveton or second Bull Run it was engaged during the two days of the fight and lost 17. Thence it went to Washington. It was engaged in the battle of Chancellorsville, where it lost 61 men. It was again engaged at Gettysburg, where its total loss was 136.
In August it was sent with its division to the islands on the South Carolina coast, where it frequently went on expeditions and encountered the enemy. It returned to Washington in 1864. During the remainder of its term of service it was engaged in guard and picket duty in various localities. It was mustered out of the service at Clarksbury on the 29th of August, 1865.
Following is the roll of Company A. The date of muster-in follows each man's name, and the date of muster-out is August 29th, 1865, where nothing appears to the contrary.

SEVENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT.
The name which this regiment assumed was the Key- stone Zouaves. The regiment was recruited in the latter part of the summer of 1861, and left for Fortress Mon- roe on the 19th of November of that year. After a week it sailed for Hilton Head, S. C., where it remained till the last of May, 1862. During this time eight companies went to assist in taking Fort Pulaski, at the mouth of Savannah river, but they were not engaged. From Hil- ton Head it went to North Edisto island; thence to St. John's island, and from thence toward Charleston, and it was engaged in the attack on that city June 16th, 1862.
--
MOVEMENTS OF THE SEVENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT-ITS OFFICERS.
In October the 76th, with other troops, went on an ex- pedition to sever the communication between Savannah and Charleston. After an engagement, in which they were defeated, the troops returned to Hilton Head. The regiment did picket duty on the islands off the coast till July, 1863, when it went to Morris island to attack Fort Wagner. The attack was made on the 11th, but was re- pulsed. In this action the 76th lost 53 killed and 184 wounded. On the 18th another charge was made, in which the regiment lost 17 killed and wounded. It re- turned to Hilton Head, where it remained six months, doing guard, picket and scout duty.
In May, 1864, with other troops, the 76th went to Virginia and became part of the Army of the James. On the 5th of that month it embarked on transports, sailed down the York river from Yorktown, up the James river, landed at Bermuda Hundred, moved to the Weldon railroad and destroyed several miles of the track. This was done under fire, and the 76th lost in killed, wounded and missing 65 men. Fighting continued at intervals during several days. The regiment was sent to Cold Harbor in the latter part of May, and took part in the fighting there the 1st, 2nd, and 3d of June, losing very heavily. It returned and went on a recon- noisance to the Richmond and Petersburg railroad; then went to Petersburg, where it did duty during the siege with frequent casualties. It was engaged occasionally from the 14th to the 17th of August at Deep Bottom, and at Bermuda Hundred on the 24th and 25th.
For some time subsequent to this the regiment was frequently engaged in fighting and skirmishing. It was in action at Chapin's Farm, at Fort Gilmer, and Fort Harrison. In October it went on a reconnoisance and was engaged in a skirmish, with a loss of i killed and 12 wounded. The 76th was in the battle at the taking of Fort Fisher in January, 1865, by General Terry, and from there went to Wilmington, N. C .; and finally to Raleigh, where it did provost duty till July 18th, when it was mustered out.
Company H of the 76th was recruited in Luzerne county. The men were mustered in at the dates annexed to their names in the following lists, and when not other- wise noted were mustered out July 18th, 1865.
