HISTORY OF LUZERNE COUNTY.

CHAPTER XXV.

LUZERNE IN THE CIVIL WAR-THE 107TH, 108TH, 132ND), 136TH AND 142ND REGIMENTS.

HE 107th regiment, in which Luzerne county was represented, was recruited during the autumn of 1861 and the ensuing winter. Its organization was completed in March, 1862, and on the 9th of that month it went to Washington. In April it crossed the Potomac, in May went forward toward Manassas, then through Thoroughfare Gap to Front Royal, then in July to the vicinity of Manassas. It was the first under fire at the Rappahannock, and first engaged on the second day in the second Bull Run battle, in which its loss was 125 killed, wounded and prisoners. It was next in action at South Mountain, where it made a brilliant charge on the evening of the 14th of September.

On the 17th, at Antietam, it was engaged in the "corn- field," and lost 19 killed and 45 wounded out of 190 en- gaged. It arrived at Brooks Station in October. It was engaged at the battle of Fredericksburg in December, losing 4 killed and 48 wounded and prisoners. It was in- active during the winter, except in the mud campaign.

At the battle of Chancellorsville the 107th was present but not actively engaged. At Gettysburg it was in action and suffered severely. It participated in the pur- suit of Lee's army and the subsequent advance to Mine Run, but was not engaged till it arrived at that stream.

It received its veteran furlough on the ist of April, 1864, more than a month after its re-enlistment. On its return it came under fire at Spottsylvania, and until it reached the James it was almost daily engaged.

After crossing the James, about the middle of June, 1864, it went to Petersburg, and it was engaged in the operations of the siege during the entire period of its continuance. It was often engaged, suffering severely at times and in one fight losing 6 officers and 145 men. Space will not permit a detail of all its engagements, marches and campaigns, of its changes from one com- mand to another, and of the changes and promotions among its officers. It continued with the army of the James till the surrender of Lee at Appomattox on the 9th of April, 1865; participated in the grand review at Washington on the 23d of May, and was mustered out July 13th, 1865.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTH REGIMENT (ELEVENTH CAVALRY).

The 11th cavalry, which was recruited in August and September 1861, by Colonel Josiah Harlan, of Philadel- phia, from several States, was chiefly raised in Pennsyl- vania, and Company K was mostly enlisted in the north- ern part of Lackawanna county. Samuel P. Spear was the first lieutenant colonel of the regiment and succeeded

Colonel Harlan, who was mustered out August 19th, 1862; and who was himself succeeded by Major George Stetzel. Samuel Wetherell and Noah M. Runyan were the other majors. The regiment consisted of 41 officers and 1,089 enlisted men.

It marched from Washington October 16th, 1861, to Camp Palmer, near Bell's Cross Roads, Va., where it was drilled and instructed. In the middle of November it was transferred to Fortress Monroe, where it spent six months in drilling and picketing. The regiment made the Peninsula campaign under McClellan, scouting and picketing, and remained nearly a year in the neighbor- hood of Suffolk, reconnoitering and picketing.

On the 2nd of December a battalion under Major Stratton in a sabre charge at Beaver Dam Church routed a superior force of rebel cavalry. took 25 prisoners and recaptured a section of a rocket battery which McClellan had lost; the sabre was thereafter constantly used with success.

January 30th, 1863, the rith fought at Deserted House, and two battalions under Majors Stratton and Cornog charged the enemy's works at Franklin, March 17th. The regiment was engaged in the defense of Suffolk against Longstreet, and captured many prisoners during the pursuit which followed the raising of the siege.

In the latter part of June, 1863, this regiment took 125 prisoners in the capture of rebel works, near Hanover Court-house. Other raids followed. In July Colonel Spear, having been put in command of the brigade, was succeeded as colonel by Major Wetherell, and he a month later by Lieutenant Colonel Stetzel. A raid against the Weldon railroad was made in July, and sev- eral in the ensuing autumn to the Blackwater and the northeastern part of North Carolina. Four hundred of the men re-enlisted for three years.

Early in 1864 ther Ith was stationed at Williamsburg, and made several raids, accompanying that of General Wistar against Richmond. In May the 11th again fell upon the Weldon railroad, drove a rebel infantry regiment from the Nottoway bridge, burned the bridge, and the same day beat the enemy at Jewett's Station. The Danville and South Side railroads were immediately afterward raided and great loss inflicted. The rth participated conspicuously in attacks on Petersburg in June, and then again raided the railroads entering that city and Rich- mond. The enemy was encountered in force at Stony Creek and Ream's Station, and in the latter battle the IIth lost 130 killed, wounded and missing.

From the middle of July Major Stratton commanded the regiment. During the rest of the war it was actively engaged under Sheridan in the operations against Rich- mond and the pursuit and capture of Lee's army, suffer- ing considerable loss, especially at Five Forks, April Ist, 1865, where it greatly distinguished itself. On the 12th it occupied Lynchburg, and on the 24th entered Rich- mond. In these later operations it took possession of 157 cannon and other material of war in proportion. After doing detached duty in Virginia during the sum- mer it was mustered out at camp near Manchester, Aug.

13th, 1865. On the 17th it reached Philadelphia, and was disbanded and paid.

We append a roll of Company K. The period of en- listment was three years unless otherwise mentioned, and the prevailing date of muster-in was Aug. 31st, 1861. That date will therefore be understood where no other is given. In other cases the first date given is that of muster-in. Where not otherwise noted each man was mustered out with the company, August 13th, 1865.
