BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.


1863


fire until the enemy was within twenty yards, the regiment rose and poured in a deadly volley, which checked his advance. He soon rallied, and renewed his efforts to capture the piece in front, but was repulsed in every attempt with great slaughter, and was finally compelled to retire. The struggle here lasted nearly two hours.


On the 3d skirmishing, with occasional artillery firing, was kept up through the entire morning. At about eleven o'clock all firing ceased and a death-like stillness prevailed. It was the stillness that precedes and presages the torna- do; for at a little after noon a gun in front heralded the opening of an unpar- alleled fire of artillery. It was chiefly directed upon the left centre, where the brigade lay, and for two hours with unceasing fury the storm of shot and shell raged. The slight fence in front afforded little protection ; for, being composed of small stones loosely thrown together, they were hurled with violence in all directions when struck by the powerful missiles of the guns. As the fire of artillery ceased, a powerful body of infantry, three lines deep, carrying their pieces at a trail arms, and marching with the regularity of troops on parade, issned from the woods on the ridge opposite, and advanced across the open plain in front. The artillery in rear of the regiment, of which there were many pieces, poured in rapid rounds over the heads of the men; the infantry re- served their fire until he had approached within point blank range, when with a loud cheer they delivered a volley which checked and threw his front line into confusion. It was but for a moment, for rallying he again rushed forward. Two of Cushing's guns had been brought close up to the wall, within the line of the regiment, and were worked with terrible effect, by the men of the Sixty- ninth and of the Seventy-first, the gunners having all been killed or wounded. But the shock of the enemy's onset was fearful, and the troops upon the right of the regiment were at length forced back, which uncovered its flank, and the order was given for two companies to swing back to the crest of the ridge for its pro- tection. The enemy taking advantage of this opening, crossed the wall, and rushed on after, up to the little cluster of trees in the rear; but meeting so hot a fire, he returned to the wall and throwing himself upon the ground, gave token of surrender. But no power of the enemy could move the centre and left of the regiment, which clung to its position with unflinching tenacity, keeping up a deadly and unremitted fire, the men at times clubbing their mus- kets to beat back the foe, who seemed determined to cross the wall .* Bro- ken and dispirited, many of their leaders fallen, the enemy at length gave up the contest, few of all that host, who had marched so defiantly forth, returning unscathed. General Kemper fell in front of the regiment, and General Armis- tead just at its right. Many prisoners and battle-flags were taken. The loss in the regiment was very severc. It entered the engagement with two hun- dred and fifty-eight officers and men. Of these, six officers and thirty-six men were killed, seven officers and seventy-six men wounded, and two officers and sixteen men taken prisoners, an aggregate of one hundred and forty-three. Colonel O'Kane, and Lieutenant Colonel Tschudy, brave men, who had served


* At the moment when the battle was at its height, and the enemy had reached the wall, be- hind which the regiment lay, one of his men called out to James Donnelly, of company D, to surrender, levelling his musket in readiness to fire. "I surrender !" cried Donnelly, and suiting the action to the word, felled him to the earth with the barrel of his gun. Donnelly was at the time a youth of but eighteen. Corporal Bradley, of the same company, while attempting to beat back an infuriate rebel, had his skull crushed in by a single blow.

upon every battle-field where the regiment had stood, while at the head of their men cheering them on and applauding their determination to defend their native soil, were killed. Captains Michael Duffy and George C. Thompson, and Lieutenant Charles F. Kelly, equally brave and daring, were also among the killed. Lieutenant Colonel Tschudy had been wounded in the fight of the second day, but unwilling to leave the field, he resolutely kept the fore front, with his men, until, with his face to the foe, he was stricken down in death. Major Duffy who assumed command upon the fall of the Colonel and Lieuten- ant Colonel, which occurred early in the fight, was severely wounded while changing front at the critical moment in the battle, but stood by his men and directed the fight until the victory was won.


From Gettysburg the regiment, under command of Captain Davis, joining in pursuit of the rebel army, marched to a point on the Hagerstown and Sharpsburg Pike, where it came upon the enemy's lines, and was for two days employed in throwing up breast-works and in skirmishing. After the escape of Lee into Virginia, it moved with the army, and during the campaign which ensued, was employed at Banks' Ford early in September in guard and scont duty; in provost duty at Culpepper ; in reconnoitring at Somerville Ford, on the Rapidan; in reducing fortifications upon the Rappahannock, near Rappa- hannock Station; in guarding the wagon train on the retreat to Centreville, in which it was frequently attacked by irregular parties coming in upon its flank; in the rifle-pits at Bull Run on the occasion of Meade's second advance, where the artillery was warmly engaged ; at Robertson's Tavern in the preliminary, operations to the movement upon Mine Run, losing one killed and six wound- ed; and finally at Mine Run with the brigade, where it was held in readiness to lead the storming party in the grand assault upon the enemy's works, but was relieved without coming to action on the abandonment of offensive opera- tions.


Winter-quarters were established at Stevensburg, and on the 14th of March, 1864, a sufficient number having re-enlisted to secure the continuance of the organization, they were given a veteran furlough, and returned to Philadel- phia. While here the green flag which had been carried with the national col- ors in all its campaigns, was deposited in Independence Hall and a new one was presented by its friends. Upon the resignation of Major Duffy on account of wounds, Captain Davis was promoted to succeed him, and took command of the regiment. General Webb now held command of the brigade, General Gibbon of the division, and General Hancock of the corps. On the 3d of May the regiment moved on the spring campaign, and on the evening of the 5th became engaged in the thickets of the Wilderness, losing two men wounded.y Before light on the following morning it again moved forward and drove the enemy, but receiving heavy re-inforcements he in turn gained ground, and hav- ing outflanked the corps on the left, pushed it back to the Ely's Ford Road, where his advance was arrested and on which breast-works were erected. The struggle now became desperate. The regiment was moved to the extreme left, j where was the heaviest fighting. The enemy made repeated efforts to turn this flank, but was forced to desist, sustaining unprecedented slaughter. The loss was four killed, eleven wounded, and four taken prisoners.


On the Sth the regiment was thrown across the Po and advanced to the Ta river. Here it was posted to defend the bridge across the stream; but with other troops was forced to retire. General Webb having been wounded, Gen-

eral Owen was placed in command of the brigade, and on the 9th moved up near to Spottsylvania Court House, where the regiment was employed in throw- ing up breast-works, under a hot fire from the enemy's skirmishers and sharp- shooters. At eleven P. M. on the following day it moved out of the breast- works, and with the corps marched to the left of the lines and within a short distance of the enemy's fortifications. Resting until four in the morning, it moved quietly under cover of darkness, charged upon his works and captured them. A hand to hand encounter ensued for their possession ; but he was forced to give way and was driven back to a second line of works, which were also captured and temporarily held. A large number of guns and prisoners were taken. Lieutenant M'Anally, of company D, captured a rebel stand of colors, having a hand to hand encounter with its bearer. The enemy made repeated attempts to re-capture his works, but was as often repulsed. The loss was six killed, twenty-nine wounded, and seven taken prisoners. Lieutenants Thomas Kelly and Josiah Jack were among the killed.


On the 1Sth the brigade was again engaged in connection with the Corco- ran Legion in an attempt to drive the enemy from his second line of works, and was exposed to a severe infantry fire, but was unsuccessful, and retired with a loss fortunately of only four wounded. At the North Anna and in the subsequent operations of the corps until it reached the James, the regiment was constantly employed in marching, fighting, and intrenching. At Cold Harbor, while advancing upon the enemy's works, it was particularly exposed to his fire. Not a tree, nor an obstruction of any kind afforded cover. Up the declivity it moved in the face of a murderous storm to within seventy-five yards of his intrenchments, where the men were ordered to drop upon the ground and hold the position. They were soon busy with their tin cups scoop- ing up the earth, and in an incredibly short space of time, had enough thrown up to afford protection from the enemy's bullets. At night intrenching tools were supplied, and a substantial work was erected. The loss was twelve killed, and nineteen wounded. Lieutenant William Whildey was among the killed. The veterans and recruits of the Seventy-first were here added to its strength, bringing it up to nearly three hundred muskets. ·


On the 14th of June the regiment crossed the James River, and at midnight reached the lines in front of Petersburg. Here it was again brought under fire, and for several days was employed in advancing the lines and in intrench- ing. A week later it was withdrawn from the front and marched to the Jern- salem Plank Road. It was here held in concealment until dark when it moved up within one hundred yards of the enemy's works, and intrenched. In the morning the enemy opened a furious canponade upon the new works, and in the. afternoon threw his infantry under cover of a wood around to their rear. Mis- taking this party for Union troops, its true character was not discovered until he opened fire. Unable to cope with the force closing in upon it, the brigade. was obliged to withdraw to the right. The loss was six killed, twenty-four wounded, and seventy-two taken prisoners.


On the 27th of July, the brigade was broken up, the Seventy-second being mustered out of service, and the One Hundred and Sixth reduced to a bat- talion and joined for field service to the Sixty-ninth. On the evening of this day it crossed the James River with the corps, and made a demonstration towards Richmond, returning on the 29th and arriving in rear of the Ninth Corps a few moments before the explosion of the mine, in time to support it if S9-VOL.

needed. . Two weeks later it returned to the north bank of the James, and after several days of severe duty moved back to the lines in front of Peters- burg, and on the 23d to Ream's Station, on the Weldon Railroad, to the sup- port of the cavalry. Three days later the enemy under A. P. Hill made a fo- rious attack upon the Second Corps. Repeated assaults were repulsed ; but he finally carried the first line of works and turned some of the captured cannon upon the Second, using canister and shrapnell with fearful effect. An attempt was made to re-capture them, in which the Sixty-ninth participated, but was unsuccessful. The regiment was re-formed and again advanced, and this time with better results; for the enemy gave way, leaving one of the captured bat- teries, which during the night was brought in. The loss was five killed, twen- ty-one wounded, and ten taken prisoners. Colonel Davis was among the wounded. He was succeeded in command by Major Tinen.


On the 25th of October it was again engaged at Hatcher's Run, near the point where the run crosses the Vaughan Road. Some advantages were gained, but the enemy was found to be well posted and in strong force. The loss was eleven, in killed, wounded, and missing. Again on the 5th of February, 1865, the Second and Fifth Corps, with Gregg's Cavalry, moved out to Hatcher's Run and extended their lines to Dabney's Mills. At four o'clock P. M. the Sixty-ninth became engaged and until dark maintained the conflict, losing two killed and two wounded, Lieutenant James M'Ginley being of the killed.


On the 25th of March the Second Corps under General Humphreys was sent to the left to reconnoitre. Crossing the Vaughan Road and Hatcher's Run. it advanced to Dabney's Mills, where it came upon the enemy. Smyth's Brigade, which embraced the Sixty-ninth, was selected to lead the assault, and succeeded in carrying, and possessing a portion of his works. The loss in the regiment was three killed and eleven wounded. On the 20th the regiment moved finally on the spring campaign, and on the 3d of April it entered the city of Petersburg; on the following day it was at Jettersville, where it was employed in intrenching; on the 7th it reached High Bridge across the Appomattox, and fording the stream under a heavy fire of musketry and artil- lery, drove the enemy and captured a number of his pieces, General Smyth being mortally wounded while on the skirmish line; and on the morning of the 9th was halted on Clover Hills to await the result of an interview between Gen- erals Grant and Lee, the skirmishers of the two hostile armies, in the interim, exchanging keepsakes. At three P. M. General Meade and Staff came riding along the lines announcing the news of the surrender, and were greeted with hearty rounds of applause.


After the surrender the regiment returned to Burkesville where it remained until the 2d of May, when it proceeded to Richmond and was reviewed is General Halleck. It moved thence to Ball's Cross Roads, opposite Washing- ton, where on the 1st of July it was mustered out of service.
