NINETY-SIXTH REGIMENT ..
The nucleus of this regiment was the National Light Infantry of Pottsville, which was one of the first compa- nies to reach the national capital on the breaking out of the Rebellion.
November 8th, 1861, it was moved to Washington. On the 25th of the same month it crossed the Potomac, and December 27th went into winter quarters. The next spring, after two or three short marches, it went with its division into the Peninsula. Its first engage- ment was at West Point, where it assisted in dislodging a rebel force from the woods. Up to the opening of the Seven-Day battle, late in June, the regiment was engaged in picket and fatigue duty. During these fights it was frequently closely engaged and in one of them-that of Gaines's Mill-it lost heavily.
In August it returned to Alexandria, and went thence to Bull Run and finally to South Mountain, where on the 14th of September it was engaged at Crampton's Gap so severely that its loss was 20 killed and 85 wounded out of 400.
It was again engaged at Antietam, September 17th, but suffered only slightly. It manœuvred with the army through the Fredericksburg campaign, but was only slightly engaged in the battle. Through the winter of 1862-3 it went on the mud march and did provost and fatigue duty. At Chancellorsville it was engaged, losing in killed, wounded and missing 93. Early in June it went forward on the Gettysburg campaign, and it was engaged in the battle but not severely. It took part in the pursuit of the retreating foe, occasionally skirmish-
ing. During the winter of 1863-4 it was in camp on the Rappahannock. In May, 1864, it took the field at the battle of the Wilderness, where it skirmished during five days and finally in a fierce charge suffered severely. It was again actively engaged near Spottsylvania, and in this series of engagements it lost in killed, wounded and missing 185. It was engaged at Cold Harbor, and took part in the siege of Petersburg and the raid on the Weldon railroad. It returned to Washington, went in pursuit of Early, participated in the Shenandoah Valley campaign, and at the expiration of its term of service, September 22nd, 1864, it was mustered out.
Company E of this regiment was partially recruited in Luzerne county, and we therefore give a record of that company, dates of muster immediately following the names.
