The regiment was embarked at Portsmouth, June 21, 1863, and was transported to White House, whence it marched to Hanover Court House for the purpose of destroying the Virginia Central Railroad bridge over the South Anna river. This was accomplished after a severe fight with the enemy. An expedition of which the regiment was a part started on an unsuccessful raid July 1, 1863, to destroy bridges on the Fredericksburg Railroad, in order to sever the communication of General Lee, who was in Pennsylvania. The Eleventh on July 10, 1863, was marched to Hampton, Virginia, thence transported to Portsmouth, Virginia, going into camp at Bower's Hill on the Suffolk road. A raid into North Carolina to destroy the railroad bridge at Weldon was unsuccessfully undertaken July 25, 1863.

Similar raids and expeditions by water were made until May 5, 1864, when the regiment became a part of a cavalry column which raided into the enemy's country, destroying bridges over the Nottaway river and fighting at Janet's Station, traveling three hundred miles in six days. On June 9, 1864, the regiment participated in the fight at Jerusalem Plank Road and in those of Stony Creek and Ream's Station, on the twenty-eighth and twenty- ninth. The losses of the regiment in this raid and these actions were one hundred and thirty killed, wounded and missing. Five hundred miles were marched over in ten days, including the time engaged in the battles. The Eleventh was attached to Sheridan's command July 11, 1864, and was present at the severe engagement of the twenty-ninth. From the 18th to the 25th of August it was engaged in all the obstinate fights along the Weldon Railroad. During these engagements Company H had been absent on duty at the headquarters of the Eighteenth Corps, but rejoined the regiment September 28, 1864. The following day the regiment made an unsuccessful raid, its object being to enter Richmond. In the cavalry engagement October 7, 1864, the regiment loss was severe, and on November 1I, 1864, the Eleventh moved into winter quarters, two miles north of the James river.


In the opening campaign of 1865 the regiment left camp March 28th, crossed the James and Appomattox rivers, at Five Forks and White Oak roads was actively engaged, also at Deep creek and Amelia Court House, also at Appomattox it opened the attack, which was of short continuance ; the enemy seeing that resistance was useless, surrendered after four years of privations, labor and bloodshed in vain. The regiment took possession of Lynchburg, Virginia, April 12, 1865; after twelve days guarding an immense amount of ordnance and other property, it removed to Richmond, and on May 6, 1865, was stationed at Staunton, Virginia; from that place it was ordered to Charlottesville, Virginia, where it was stationed until August I, 1865, when the regiment was moved to Richmond, where it was mustered out of service August 13, 1865.


ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTH REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS (TWELFTH CAVALRY)


The Twelfth Cavalry was organized in the city of Philadelphia in November, 1861, for three years' service. Company D was from Northamp- ton county. The regiment proceeded to Washington, District of Columbia, about May 1, 1862, and on the 20th of June was placed on guard duty along the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. The Twelfth, under the command of Major Titus, on August 26, 1862, found itself surrounded by the enemy at Bristol Station, and in attempting to cut their way out of the trap lost their commanding officer and two hundred and sixty in killed, wounded and miss- ing. The following day the regiment was ordered to picket the upper Potomac and watch the north bank of the river from Chain Bridge to Edward's Ferry until General Lee entered Maryland. The regiment was not actively engaged at South Mountain, as it was held in reserve with the corps of General Sumner, and at the battle of Antietam was deployed on the rear of the centre and right of the army to prevent straggling and disorder.

THE CIVIL WAR PERIOD


The regiment was assigned about June 12, 1862, to McReynolds' brigade and participated in the raids of Moorfield and Woodstock, in the latter of which it fought the enemy's cavalry at Fisher's Hill and sustained consider- able loss. After Chancellorsville, the regiment remained in the valley of the Shenandoah and was in the advance against Lee's army. On a recon- naissance June 12, 1863, Cedarville was reached, where the enemy was found in full force and the Union troops fell back to Winchester, which was evacuated on the night of the fourteenth, and a heavy night battle was fought in which the Twelfth was engaged and sustained considerable loss.


Two days after the battle of Gettysburg the regiment, in company with New York troops, captured at Cunningham's Cross Roads six hundred and fifty of the train guard, one hundred and twenty-five wagons, five hundred and fifty animals, and three pieces of cannon. After this it moved to Sharpsburg, and remained there until August 3, 1863, when it crossed the Potomac and camped in the vicinity of Martinsburg, West Virginia. Here it remained until the opening of the campaign of 1864, engaged in the usual operations of cavalry ; its members had nearly all re-enlisted and received veteran furloughs.


In the battles and skirmishes with the forces of General Early in his attempted invasion of Maryland, the Twelfth took a prominent part at Solo- mon's and Crampton's Gaps, and was especially commended for gallantry at Pleasant Valley. The regiment was actively engaged in the cavalry charge at Kernstown. General Sheridan now came to command the army of the Shenandoah, and the Twelfth was assigned to Torbert's Division. The Union army fell back to Berryville, Virginia, to avoid a flanking movement of the enemy, and in the engagement that followed the Twelfth performed its duty well and at considerable loss. It was now recruited to some extent and remounted, and participated in the operations of the army during the fall of 1864, afterwards returned to Charlestown, Maryland, for guard and garrison duty and for covering and guarding the railroad from Harper's Ferry to Winchester. About the middle of the month it was engaged in an expedition against the guerillas across the Blue Ridge Mountains.


At the opening of the spring campaign of 1865 the regiment was incor- porated with the cavalry division of the Army of the Shenandoah, and took part in the raid as far as Lynchburg, Virginia. Arriving at Edinboro, the Twelfth participated in a fight with the enemy, and here was announced the surrender of General Lee, which included the rebel troops in the valley of the Shenandoah. After the cessation of hostilities, for a short time the Twelfth encamped at Winchester, and on July 20, 1865, was mustered out of service.


ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINTH REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS


This regiment was recruited for nine months' service and was organized August 15, 1862. A hurried departure to Washington was made the next day and the regiment went into camp at Alexandria, Virginia. On April 30 it marched towards the front as guard to an ammunition train bound to Centerville, Maryland. Heavy cannonading was heard throughout the day ;

the train, however, was delivered in safety, though it was exposed to a brisk artillery fire. The regiment's camp was changed to the neighborhood of Fort Richardson, and it was assigned to the brigade of General Tyler. It crossed the Potomac September 14, 1862, marched rapidly through Maryland, arriv- ing at Antietam on the morning after the battle. The regiment marched with the army into Virginia on October 30, 1862, to headquarters established at Warrenton. At Marye's Heights the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth advanced almost to face of the famous stone wall, losing one hundred and forty-two in killed and wounded during the action. It was also present at Chancellorsville and its gallant behavior was highly complimented in official reports. The term of service having expired May 12, 1863, the regiment was ordered to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where on May 18, 1863, it was demo- bilized. Companies C. D. F and K were recruited in Northampton county.


ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THIRD REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS


This regiment was "Northampton's Own," and was recruited within the limits of the county. The organization was effected at Camp Curtin, Octo- ber 9, 1862, and it was mustered into National service for a term of nine months. The regiment departed for Washington, District of Columbia, Octo- ber 12, 1862, and was ordered for duty in the vicinity of Gainesville, Virginia, and assigned to the First Brigade of the First Division of the Eleventh Army Corps. The regiment on December 9, 1862, was hurried towards the Rappa- hannock, but did not succeed in reaching the field at Fredericksburg to participate in the battle.


The Eleventh Corps, commanded by General Howard, held the right of the line at the battle of Chancellorsville; and the One Hundred and Fifty- third, with the Fifty-fourth New York, held the right of their brigade, which was the extreme right of the Army of the Potomac. On their first hostile field Northampton's Own was to encounter the lions of the Confederate army. Just before sunset on a balmy Saturday afternoon were heard the sharp and sudden blast of the enemy's bugle, then came the Confederate charging yell, a triple line of gray burst from the river on the right of the Union line. The Northampton regiment was the first to receive the overwhelming blow, and they met it with the steadiness of veterans, pouring their volleys right into the face of the charging columns. Nothing could withstand this onslaught, and the regiment was compelled to retire. Darkness interrupted the battle, which was resumed in the morning, the One Hundred and Fifty-third having retired as far as the open fields just west of Chancellorsville. Here they rallied, buried their dead, brought off their wounded, and erected temporary defences. Early the following morning the attack was renewed, the regiment was under heavy cannonade for hours and was galled by the fire of sharp- shooters. The loss of the regiment in the entire battle was three officers and nineteen men killed, fifty-three wounded and thirty-three prisoners.


It was at Gettysburg that the One Hundred and Fifty-third received their baptism of blood. At the opening of the battle General Meade ordered General Howard, in command of the Eleventh Corps, to hurry forward his corps, and Von Gilsa's brigade, which included the One Hundred and Fifty-

third, was halted at the Almshouse just outside of the town, which General Lee had decided should be the theatre of the decisive struggle. Here, dropping their knapsacks, an advance was made at the double quick and in superb style, but the rebels' murderous enfilading fire of artillery, which poured in from the flanks, caused the Eleventh Corps to retire and take position and fortify along the ridge of Cemetery Hill in the rear of the town, which became the central point of the battle. Throughout the days of the battle the One Hundred and Fifty-third nobly performed their duties and did gallant service; they suffered during the entire battle an aggregate loss of three hundred and eight men. On the 14th of July the regiment took leave of the army near Funkstown, Maryland. Upon the occasion of that farewell, Colonel Von Gilsa, their brigade commander, said to them: "I am an old soldier, but never did I know soldiers who with greater alacrity and more good will endeavored to fulfill their duties. In the battle of Chan- cellorsville, you, like veterans, stood your ground against fearful odds, and, although surrounded on three sides, you did not retreat until by me com- manded to do so. In the three days' battle of Gettysburg your behavior put many an old soldier to blush, and you are justly entitled to a great share of the glory which my brigade has won for itself, by repulsing the two dreaded Tiger brigades of Jackson. In the name of your comrades of the First Brigade and myself I now bid you farewell." The regiment was mus- tered out of service July 24, 1863, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in a body returned to Easton, and on their arrival a reception was given them at the Fair Ground, and a sword presentation made to Colonel Glanz.


BATTERY D, FIFTH UNITED STATES ARTILLERY


This battery was principally raised in Easton, and was familiarly known as "Seymour's Battery," in honor of Captain Truman Seymour, afterwards promoted to brigadier-general. The battery took part in many of the heaviest engagements of the war; among those being Mechanicsville-the first of the Seven Days' battle, in which the battery fired the opening gun in the Union side-Gaines Mill, on the following day, Peach Orchard, Savage Station, White Oak Swamp, Charles City Cross Roads, Malvern Hill, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg-first and second, Chan- cellorsville and Gettysburg, where it was complimented by Generals Meade and Hartranft as having saved the battle, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spottsyl- vania Court House, North Anna, Cold Harbor, Hatcher's Run, Deep Bottom, Gainesville, Sheldon Farm and through the siege of Petersburg, where it was the first battery to enter the town. At the time of draft riots in New York City, the battery used its persuasive powers on the rioters. Its inces- sant service under fire required its membership to be recruited fourteen times from the ranks of volunteer regiments. The number of horses and killed and worn out in service of the battery was over three hundred. There was but a remnant of the Northampton boys belonging to the battery that returned to Easton, March 20, 1867, and the following veterans were mus- tered out of the United States service March 22, 1867: A. Reeder Muller, James Simons, John J. Gangwere, James G. Fargo, John Green, Arthur Grimes, William Balliet, David F. Troxell, John Dachradt, Calvin Ritter, Milton Charles and John Steiner.

ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FOURTH REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS


This regiment, which was a drafted militia for nine months' service, included Companies H and I raised in Northampton county. It was organ- ized November 19, 1862; it was soon ordered to Washington, whence it was transported to Suffolk, Virginia, and assigned to the brigade of General Ferry. The regiment arrived at Newtown, North Carolina, January 3, 1863, and was ordered to South Carolina, to become a part of the army of General Foster. It went into camp on Helena Island, remaining there until February 27, 1863, when it was removed to Beaufort, South Carolina. The whole military experience of the regiment was the routine of garrison and camp duty ; it was not engaged in any battles. The regiment was mustered out of service at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, August 7, 1863.


In Pennsylvania three regiments that were recruited for one year's service in 1864-65 were companies of Northampton county volunteers. The Two Hundred and Second, of which Company F was a part, was organized at Camp Curtin, September 3, 1864. The regiment a week later proceeded to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, where it encamped near that town, and nineteen days later it was moved to Alexandria, Virginia, for guard duty on the Manassas Gap Railroad. This was an arduous and dangerous assign- ment, as that section was infested with guerillas who were determined to destroy the route of supply to the army of General Sheridan. After Sheridan cleared the valley of the rebel forces, the railroad was abandoned, and the regiment was ordered to a similar duty on the Orange and Alexandria Rail- road, with the headquarters at Fairfax, Virginia. After the surrender of General Lee in May, 1865, the command returned to Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, where it was ordered to the anthracite coal region, where it remained until moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where it was mustered out of service August 3, 1865.


In the Two Hundred and Fourteenth Regiment was Company H, re- cruited at Easton. This regiment was organized in March, 1865, and was first sent to the Shenandoah valley, where it was employed in guard and provost duty and was afterward moved to Washington for garrison service. A part of the regiment was moved in November to Annapolis, Maryland, and on March 21, 1866, was mustered out of the National service at Wash- ington.


In the Two Hundred and Fifteenth was Company G, recruited at Easton. The regiment was organized at Camp Cadwallader, April 21, 1865, did duty in detachments at Dover, Delaware, and in various places on the eastern shore of Maryland, also at Fort Delaware in garrisoning the fort and guarding prisoners. The regiment was mustered out of service July 31, 1865.
