On the 24th, the regiment was ordered to duty at Army Headquarters, re- lieving the Second Pennsylvania Cavalry. Company G was soon after de- tailed for duty at the Headquarters of the Second Army Corps, where it re- mained until the middle of April, 1864. Near the close of November, when returning from the advance of the main army to Mine Run, the regiment was joined by two additional companies, recruited in Huntingdon county, under command of Major George F. M'Cabe. During the winter, it was assigned to duty on the Orange and Alexandria Railrod, with headquarters at Bristoe Station, the command being distributed along the road for its protection against the guerrillas of Moseby. On the 1st of January, 1864, it joined the brigade in a reconnoissance, which took it from Warrenton, through Front Royal, Salem, and Paris, returning on the 3d. The weather was excessively cold, and the troops were subjected to untold suffering on the march, nearly a third of the entire command being frost bitten. On the Sth of February, the fifteen compa- nies were consolidated into twelve, and George F. M'Cabe was commissioned Major.


On the 3d of May, the Thirteenth was ordered to duty with the Ninth Corps, and in the march to the Wilderness, covered the rear of the corps, which was in rear of the entire army. It participated in the severe fighting from the 5th to the 11th of May, and in the flank movement of the army past Spottsylvania Court House, had the advance, driving in the pickets of the enemy.


On the 26th of May, the regiment returned to the brigade, joining it at White's Tavern. The cavalry under Sheridan, consisting of three divisions, commanded by Merritt, Wilson, and Gregg, was now on a raid towards Dich- mond. At Beaver Dam Station, the rebel guard was routed, a vast amount of stores were destroyed, and four hundred Union prisoners on their way to Rich- mond, were released. At Hawes' Shop, on the 28th, while stretched out upon the march, the Union column was suddenly attacked in flank by the ene.ny's cavalry and infantry under Stuart. Gregg's Division soon became hotly en- gaged, each side determined to hold its ground. Finally, after seven hours of continuous fighting, the enemy was routed, and driven three miles, the track of his routed columns being strewn with his dead and wounded. Captain John

Kline was killed in this engagement, and Captain Patrick Kane mortally wounded. The entire loss was ten killed, and thirty-five wounded and missing.


Soon after his return from the Richmond raid, Sheridan again led his cav- alry towards Lynchburg, with the design of breaking up one of the enemy's main lines of supply. At Trevilian Station the enemy's infantry in force was met. A severe engagement ensued, in which some advantages were gained, and the railroad track torn up for a considerable distance; but the enemy having concentrated his forces, proved too strong for a further advance, and Sheridan withdrew and returned to White House.


With the army trains which had assembled here, Sheridan started on the 22d of June for the James. Crossing the Chickahominy at Jones' Bridge, on the 23d, the division encamped at night at Charles City. During the night, the First Division passed in its rear with the trains. On the morning of the 24th, Gregg moved upon a road running at right angles with the Charles City Road, parallel with the Chickahominy, and about four miles from it. When three miles out, the Second Brigade, which was in advance, met the enemy's pickets, and pushed them back upon his main line, in strong position near St. Mary's Church. Line of battle was immediately formed, the Second Brigade in an open, field, its right extending across the road, and its left con- necting with the First Brigade, a part of which was formed so as to extend the line parallel with the road, a half mile to the rear, to protect the flank. With slight skirmishing, which occasionally increased to a sharp encounter, the day passed until half-past four, when the enemy having felt the lines, and being well informed of the strength of the division, attacked along the entire front with his cavalry corps, supported by a brigade of dismounted men. Though outnumbered and hard pressed on all sides, the division held its ground for two hours, displaying a steadiness and courage rarely excelled. Finally, being out-flanked and sorely pressed, the order to retire was given. As it began to fall back, the enemy re-doubled his efforts to break through and cap- ture the guns; but in all his attempts he was successfully foiled, and not a gun nor a caisson was lost. In this engagement the regiment lost three officers and thirty men in killed, wounded, and missing.


On the 30th, the regiment crossed the James, and marched up to the Proctor House, and on the 1st of July, moved to the support of Wilson's Cavalry Divison, hemmed in by the enemy, as it was returning from a raid upon the Danville Railroad. Two weeks later it was engaged with the division in its descent on the Jerusalem Plank Road, and on the 26th, joined in the demonstration across the James, meeting the enemy at Malvern Hill, and at Lee's Mills. In the meantime, Captain H. H. Gregg, with one hundred and fifty men, who had been detached from the regiment, and assigned to duty at the headquarters of the commissary of subsistence, while in charge of the cattle herd, numbering between two and three thousand, was attacked by a powerful body of rebel cavalry, which came suddenly in upon him near Cog- gin's Point, and though making a manful resistance, was overpowered and captured with the entire herd, and hurried away into the rebel lines.


On the 29th of September, the regiment was hotly engaged at Wyatt's Farm, losing two officers and fifteen men in killed, wounded, and missing; again, on the 22d of October, at the Boydton Plank Road, and on the 8th and 9th of December, at Hatcher's Run, where it suffered severely, Captain Nanthaniel S. Sneyd being among the killed.

THIRTEENTH CAVALRY.


1271


On the 5th of February, 1865, the Fifth and Second Corps, with Gregg's Cavalry, moved from their quarters in front of the rebel lines, and crossing Gravelly Run, came upon the enemy in the afternoon, who, having massed his forces, made a desperate charge in three lines of battle, but was met with so deadly a fire, that he was forced to give way. The cavalry then moved by Ream's Station to Malone Bridge, over the Rowanty River, and thence to Din- widdie Court House, skirmishing lightly by the way, but meeting no determined opposition. On the evening of the 6th the enemy again attacked, near Dab- ney's Mills, with great impetuosity, but was finally checked and driven. General Gregg was among the wounded.


About the middle of February, Colonel Kerwin received orderes to move to City Point, and thence proceed by transport to Wilmington, North Carolina. Before departing, a large number of recruits were received, and the entire command was well equipped and mounted. Upon its arrival at Wilmington, it reported to General Schofield, and after a rest of a few days it was ordered to march and open communication with General Sherman, then on his way up through the Carolinas. The line of march was taken along Cape Fear River, and on the 13th of March, a detachment of the regiment communicated with Sherman, at Fayetteville, the army of the East saluting the army of the West. Crossing the river at Elizabethtown, the regiment reported to Sherman on the 19th, and was assigned to the Third Brigade of Kilpatrick's Division, of which Colonel Kerwin took command. Soon after the surrender of Raleigh, Hampton's Cavalry was encountered just outside the town, and the brigade, with the Thirteenth in advance, drove the rebel chieftain twelve miles, dis- lodging him from every position which he took, and until checked by his in- fantry. On the 13th, the regiment entered Raleigh, and its tattered flag was displayed from the dome of the capitol. In the buildings were found forty- two flags, trophies of the war, gathered from both of the contending armies.


After the surrender of Johnston, the regiment was ordered to Fayette- ville, and Colonel Kerwin put in command of the post. It was soon ascertained that irregular bands were moving about the country and plundering the in- habitants. A detachment of twenty-four men, of company F, was sent out, which pursued one of these bands into South Carolina, capturing most of the party, and returning the goods found to their owners. This summary action put a stop to further depradations. On the 14th of July, the regiment re- turned to Raleigh, and on the following day proceeded by rail to City Point, Virginia, and thence via Baltimore to Philadelphia, arriving at Camp Cadwal- lader on the 19tb, and on the 27th was finally discharged.
