Fifty-seventh Regiment .- This organization was formed largely from Mer- cer County, though companies were obtained in Crawford, Venango, Bradford, Tioga, Wyoming and Susquehanna Counties. Its two principal officers, Col. William Maxwell and Lieut. - Col. E. W. Woods, were both from Mercer County. It rendezvoused at Camp Curtin. In December, 1861, it was sent to Washington, and in February following was assigned to the Army of the Potomac. Col. Maxwell resigned March 1, 1862, and was succeeded by Capt.

HISTORY OF MERCER COUNTY.


Charles T. Campbell, of Franklin County, an officer in the Mexican War. He was promoted to the rank of colonel and assigned command of the new regi- ment. It participated in the Peninsular campaign under McClellan, being a member of Jameson's brigade, Heintzelman's division. It operated against Yorktown for a month following April 4, 1862, sleeping in the mud as it dug trenches. It lost one man killed and five wounded. During this period much sickness prevailed. On the 24th of May it crossed the Chickahominy, and participated at Fair Oaks on the 31st, where it lost eleven killed and forty- nine wounded. Among the former was Maj. Culp. His place was taken by Capt. S. C. Simonton, promoted to major. He is now postmaster at Clarks- ville. Col. Campbell was severely wounded, and was succeeded in command by Lieut. - Col. Woods.


On the 30th of June the regiment was engaged at Charles City Cross Roads, losing seven killed and fifty-six wounded. Among the latter were Maj. Simonton and Lieut. Morse. It was subsequently engaged at Malvern Hill, where it lost two killed and eight wounded. Lieut. C. O. Etz was one of the former. When the regiment reached Harrison's Landing its ranks were reduced from nearly a thousand men a few months before to fifty-six for active duty. Col. Woods left the regiment here on account of sickness, and soon thereafter was mustered out. Capt. Ralph Maxwell, of Company F, was in command of the regiment for a time. Subsequently Maj. William Birney, of the Fourth New Jersey, brother of Gen. D. B. Birney, was assigned to the command. Having recruited in health, the regiment was transferred with other troops to the army under Gen. Pope. It participated in the terribly severe battles of Second Bull Run, August 29 and 30; Chantilly, September 1. At the latter place was killed the gallant Gen. Kearney, whose body fell within the rebel lines. Four companies of the Fifty-seventh, under a flag of truce, escorted the body into the Union lines. For a month the regiment performed picket duty at Conrad's Ferry, on the Potomac.


Col. Campbell rejoined the regiment on the 10th of October, and was with it at the terrible slaughter at Fredericksburg, December 13, where he was again wounded. In this engagement the losses were twenty-one killed, seventy-six wounded and seventy-eight missing. Capt. Ralph Maxwell, now of Greenville, commanded the regiment temporarily after Campbell's being wounded, but Capt. Peter Sides, of Company A, was promoted to be lieu- tenant-colonel, and relieved Capt. Maxwell. The next severe engagement was that of Chancellorsville, in May, 1863. The regiment lost in killed, two officers and eleven men; in wounded, three officers and forty-five men. Among the killed were Capt. Edson Rice and Lieut. Joseph Brady.


From July 1 to 3, at the famous battle of Gettysburg, the regiment performed a conspicuous part, its losses being: Killed, twelve; wounded, forty-five, and missing, forty-five. Lieuts. Henry Mitchell and John F. Cox were killed; Col. Sides was wounded, and Maj. Neeper and Lieuts. Burns, Crossly and Hines were captured. It performed efficient service in chasing the retreating rebels from Pennsylvania soil back to "Old Virginia."


Many of the men, having re-enlisted during the winter of 1863, received a veteran furlough on January 8, 1864. They returned with numerous recruits for the campaign of 1864. On the 3d of May it was heavily engaged with the enemy at the intersection of the Brock and Plank roads. Its losses were: killed, twenty-two; wounded, 128. Among the latter was Col. Sides. The command devolved upon Capt. A. H. Nelson, of Company K. It was a member of Hancock's command on the 12th of May, when an entire rebel division was captured. The regiment lost seven killed, twenty wounded

and three missing. Among the killed was Lieut. J. C. Green. It bore a conspicuous part at North Anna River and Cold Harbor, losing many men. Capt. Edgar Williams and Lieut. John Bowers and Henry M. Adams were killed.


The regiment participated in the siege of Petersburg. Lieut .- Col. William B. Neeper, long exhausted by imprisonment, returned and assumed command of the regiment. Col. Sides having tendered his resignation, it was accepted November 26, 1864. Capt. L. D. Bumpus was appointed to be his successor. The command was consolidated into six companies January 11, 1865. A few days later the same was done with the Eighty- fourth, and its battalion was joined with that of the Fifty-seventh. Lieut. - Col. George Zinn, of the Eighty-fourth, became colonel. Capt. George W. Perkins, of Company K, was promoted to lieutenant-colonel, and Samuel Bryan, of the Eighty-fourth, was made major. At the fighting about Fort Steadman the regiment took more than a hundred prisoners. It was present at the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox Court-house. It was mustered out of service at Alexandria, Va., June 22, 1865.
