ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTH, ELEVENTH CAVALRY.
THE Eleventh Cavalry, * originally known as " Harlan's Light Cavalry," was raised as an independent regiment, during the months of August and Sep- tember, 1861, by Colonel Josiah Harlan, of Philadelphia, under special autho- rity from the Secretary of War. Under this authority companies were raised in different States, Company A being from Iowa, portions of E and F from New York, a part of I from New Jersey, M from Ohio, and the remainder from Pennsylvania. The organization of the regiment was completed on the 5th of October, by the choice of the following field officers : Josiah Harlan, Colonel ; Samuel P. Spear, Lieutenant Colonel; George Stetzel, Samuel Wetherill, and Noah M. Runyan, Majors. Its strength consisted of forty-one officers and one thousand and eighty-nine enlisted men. The regiment was assigned to Briga- dier General Innis N. Palmer's Brigade, and marched on the 16th of October from Camp Harlan, on Seventh street, Washington, D. C., to Camp Palmer, near Ball's Cross Roads, Virginia, where it went into camp for instruction and drill.
It having been ascertained at this time that Congress had only authorized · the raising of regiments by States, and that consequently the formation of Harlan's Light Cavalry as an independent regiment was irregular, it was at- tached to the Pennsylvania State organizations on the 13th of November, and received the official designation it ever after retained.
Considerable progress was made in foot and mounted drill at Camp Palmer, notwithstanding unfavorable weather and location. On the 17th of November the regiment broke camp and marched for Annapolis, from which point it pro- ceeded, by transports, to Camp Hamilton, near Fortress Monroe. Here sta- bles and quarters were built, and during a period of six months a thorough course of instruction and drill was followed, and some experience acquired in . scouting and picket duty.
In March, 1862, companies C and M, under Major Runyan, were detached and ordered to Newport News, for duty under General Mansfield. On the 15th of May, companies A, E, G, H, and L, under Lieutenant Colonel Spear, were detached and sent to Portsmouth, Virginia, and a few weeks after to Suffolk, being re-placed at Portsmouth by Company M, Captain Reynolds, from New- port News. The remaining five companies of the regiment, under Colonel Har- lan, were ordered to join the Army of the Potomac, at White House, in the beginning of June, and remained in that vicinity until the evacuation of the

place, towards the end of the month, when they removed to Williamsburg. In August the command was stationed for a few days at Burnt Ordinary, and was then ordered to Suffolk, at which place it re-joined the other five compa- nies on the 20th. The service of these five companies while on the Peninsula consisted in picket and scouting duty in rear of M'Clellan's army. Colonel Harlan commanded until the 15th of July, and Major Stetzel from that time until a few days prior to the departure of the command for Suffolk, when Lieu- tenant Colonel Spear assumed command of the regiment. The five companies at Suffolk, at first under command of Lieutenant Colonel Spear, and afterward of Major Wetherill, were meantime on active duty. Companies A and E, under Captain Stratton, were engaged in scouting and the topographical survey of the country towards the Blackwater, under the immediate direction of Gen- eral Mansfield, then in command at Suffolk. The other companies were prin- cipally employed in picket duty.
Colonel Harlan having been mustered out of service on the 19th of August, Lieutenant Colonel Spear was commissioned Colonel, Major Stetzel, Lieuten- ant Colonel, and Captain Frank A. Stratton, Major. The regiment remained here nearly a year, engaged in picket, scouting, and patrol duty. Almost daily reconnoissances were made to the Blackwater by company, squadron, or battalion, and frequent skirmishes and engagements with the enemy took place. On the 2d of December a battalion, under Major Stratton, made a sabre charge at Beaver Dam Church against a superior force of the enemy's cavalry, completely routing it, capturing twenty-five prisoners and a section of the celebrated rocket battery, taken from M'Clellan on the Peninsula. The regiment was armed at this time with sabres and revolvers, and eight or ten Sharp's carbines to each company. During this and the many subsequent vic- tories of the regiment until near the close of the campaign of 1864, the sabre was the principal weapon employed, and was always successful against an equal force of cavalry. Its constant and effective use inspired the officers and . men with confidence and bravery, and a sabre charge by an advance guard of the Eleventh never failed promptly to clear the roads of the enemy's pickets or advance.
On the 30th of January, 1863, the regiment took a prominent part in the defeat of the rebel General Pryor, at Deserted House, during which several successful charges were made. An attack was made on the enemy's works at Franklin on the 17th of March, in which two battalions, under Majors Strat- ton and Cornog, attempted to carry the works by a mounted charge. In one of these charges, Lieutenant Mowday fell. Company M, having been relieved at Norfolk by Company F, re-joined the regiment about the 20th of March. During the siege of Suffolk by Longstreet, from April 11 to May 3, the regi- ment was actively employed. Companies B, L, and M, and two companies of another regiment, under Major Stratton, were stationed at South Mills, on the Dismal Swamp Canal, thirty miles below Norfolk, as an out-post, guarding the approach from that direction. The remaining companies at Suffolk were prominent in the operations before that place, and captured many prisoners during the pursuit which followed the raising of the siege. In the early part of May the regiment was employed, with other forces, in taking up the railroad track from Suffolk to Franklin, during which operation several skirmishes oc- curred, resulting in the defeat of the enemy. During the year's service at Suffolk it constantly scouted over the whole country on the left bank of the

Blackwater and Chowan rivers, from the James River to Albemarle Sound, in North Carolina, keeping the country clear of the enemy, capturing many prisoners and considerable property. It is estimated that each company marched an average of three hundred miles per month during this period. Stables and quarters had been built early in the fall, and the horses, protected when not on duty, from the inclemency of the weather, were in fine condition. Meeting with no disaster, the regiment arrived at a high state of discipline, and became very effective in men and material.
The three companies at South Mills re-joined the regiment on the 4th of June. On the 21st, it marched to Portsmouth, and there embarked for White House. Company F, Captain Mitchell, having been relieved at Norfolk, re- joined the regiment at Portsmouth. Arriving at White House, a rapid march brought the command, on the 26th, to the Virginia Central Railroad Bridge, over the South Anna River, near Hanover Court House. The enemy's works were immediately attacked, delivering a mounted and dismounted charge, and carried with little loss, resulting in the capture of one hundred and twen- ty-five prisoners. During the expedition Brigadier General W. F. H. Lee was captured, and also a large number of mules, wagons, and other property. After the destruction of the bridge, the regiment returned to White House. An ex- pedition, under Brigadier General Getty, consisting of seven thousand infantry and artillery, with the Eleventh Pennsylvania, started from White House on the 1st of July, to destroy the bridge on the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad, and thus complete the severance of railroad communication between Richmond and Lee's army, then near Gettysburg. The expedition failed in its main object, but on the night of the 4th of July companies G, and M, under Major Stratton, destroyed the railroad bridge, station, and public property at Ashland. The regiment returned to White House on the 7th, and a few days afterwards marched to Hampton, thence proceeded, by transport, to Ports- mouth, and. on the 13th went into camp at Bower's Hill, seven miles out on the Suffolk Road.
