CHAPTER XXIV.
LUZERNE IN THE CIVIL WAR-HISTORIES OF THE 8IST, 92ND AND 96TH REGIMENTS.
HE recruiting of the 8Ist regiment commenced in August, 1861, and in October it proceeded to Washington. Company H was recruited in Carbon and Luzerne counties, and Com- pany K in Luzerne. The regiment was engaged only in police and scout duty till the Ist of March, 1862, when it took the field. During the advance to the Peninsula it was engaged mostly in fatigue duty. It built the Sumner bridge and crossed on it with its brigade, had a skirmish with the enemy and returned. At Fair Oaks, on the 3Ist of May, the regiment was engaged and Colonel Miller was killed. On the 25th of June, three Companies-D, H and K-were engaged in a picket fight. On the 29th the regiment was in action at Peach Orchard, and on the 30th at White Oak Swamp and

Charles City Cross Roads, losing heavily. July Ist it was engaged at Malvern Hill, at which battle Lieutenant Colonel Connor was killed.
The regiment returned to Acquia creek by transports, thence to Alexandria, and to the second Bull Run battle field, but was not engaged. It was next in action at Antietam on the 17th of September, where it again lost heavily. Thence it moved to Harper's Ferry and after- wards to Warrenton. When Burnside assumed command of the army the regiment moved to Falmouth, and on the 13th of December it was engaged at Fredericksburg. In this battle Lieutenant Colonel Swain was killed and Colonel McKeen wounded. It returned to quarters at Falmouth, where it remained till the latter part of May, when it broke camp and during the month of June moved from place to place, and arrived at Gettysburg on the Ist of July, having marched thirty-eight miles the preceding day. On the 2nd and 3d it was "in the thick of the fray " and lost half of its effective strength.
During the remainder of the summer it was in Virginia with the second corps, to which it was attached, and went into winter quarters near Stevensburg. In January a portion of the men re-enlisted and received a veteran furlough, and its ranks were recruited. It took the field In the spring of 1864. During three days early in May the regiment was engaged at the battle of the Wilderness, and on the 12th at Spottsylvania. It was again engaged at Cold Harbor on the 3d of June, and its colonel was kllled there. It participated in the siege of Petersburg, and was engaged there and at Strawberry Plains, Ream's Station and Deep Bottom, in all of which actions it sus- tained its character for bravery. It remained in front of Petersburg during the winter of 1864-5, and participated in the campaign of the next spring. It was frequently engaged, but did not suffer severe loss except at Farm- ville, on the 7th of April, two days before the surrender of Lee. This concluded its fighting. It returned to the vicinity of Washington and was mustered out on the 29th of June.
Its losses and casualties during its term of service were: Field and staff officers, 2 from disease, I prisoner, 5 wounded and 4 killed; line officers, 2 prisoners. 40 wounded and 14 killed; enlisted men, 79 deaths from disease, 152 prisoners, 516 wounded and 201 killed.
