On the 10th of March, 1864, the regiment assembled at Camp Curtin, Har- risburg, and on the 13th re-joined the brigade at Halltown, eight hundred strong. 37-VOL. III.

NINETY-THIRD REGIMENT.
1863
Soon afterwards the brigade returned to Brandy Station. In the re-organiza- tion of corps, previous to breaking winter-quarters, this brigade was trans- ferred from the Third, to the Second Division of the Sixth Corps. Exchanging the smooth-bore muskets with buck and ball cartridges, with which it had been armed, for improved Springfield rifles, it set out at half past three, on the morning of the 4th of May, for the Wilderness. Strict orders had been given . not to fire the camps, lest the enemy from his signal stations should be warned of the movement in progress; but custom and carelessness prevailed over discipline, and the command moved off amidst the broad glow of blazing camps. At eight o'clock on the morning of the 5th the column halted and formed line on the Chancellorsville Plank Road, near the spot where General Meade subsequently had his headquarters. At noon the Second Division, under General Getty, resumed the march down the plank road, the other two divisions, under General Sedgwick, moving off to the right. After marching two miles on the plank, the division filed sharply to the right, and marched down a narrow dirt road, which stretched almost due south through a thick and tangled wilderness of pine and undergrowth. It marched in column of route, without skirmishers or flankers, general officers with their staffs riding in front. In this manner it moved on to the Gordonsville and Fredericksburg Plank Road. The Ninety-third, which was in the advance, had just crossed the plank, and was plunging again into the thick woods to the left of it, when a murderous fire was suddenly and without premonition of an enemy's presence, poured into it from the right. Without confusion the regiment halted, faced to the front, delivered ono volley upon the concealed foe, and then charged, clearing the woods and establishing a line about two hundred yards in front of the dirt road, with its right resting upon the plank. In this brief encounter, last- ing less than a quarter of an hour, the regiment lost twenty-five, killed and wounded, among whom were Captain Edward H. Rogers and Lieutenant Max- well B. Goodrich mortally wounded. Division line was immediately formed, and for hours it awaited the enemy. About the middle of the afternoon a vast cloud of dust was observed, far down the plank road, which rose up and ob- scured the western sun. Dispositions were rapidly made for an attack, bri- gades of the Second Corps now beginning to arrive. The Ninety-third was moved across to the right of the plank. At four, A. P. Hill's entire corps hav- ing arrived and formed without molestation in the dense woods in front, the crash came. For two hours the roar of musketry at close range was incessant. The enemy was invisible, and the fire could only be directed by the course of the enemy's missiles. At six, the regiment having suffered severely, was re- lieved by a regiment of the Second Corps. Resting on its arms during the night, in the dirt road, along which the Second Corps had thrown up breast- works, at four o'clock on the morning of the 6th it advanced in the second line of battle to the attack. The first line soon came upon the enemy, who was driven two miles, when the second became the first line. After a short pause it again advanced, General Wadsworth putting himself at the head of the Ninety-third and charging down the plank road. At this juncture Long- street, with a fresh corps, came up, and made a counter-charge, a division of the Second Corps being forced back, and the whole line retiring in some con- fusion, though leisurely and unpursued, to the dirt road. At five P. M. Long- street made a furious assault, but was easily repulsed. In these two days of
291

WILDERNESS CAMPAIGN.
fighting the regiment lost eighteen killed and one hundred and forty-four wounded.
The 7th was comparatively quiet, a slight skirmish in the afternoon with some cannonading. At evening it moved out and took up the line of march towards Spottsylvania, and during the 9th, 10th, and 11th was kept busy in manœuvring, digging, and fighting. On the morning of the 12th it was ordered to the support of the Second Corps, and went into position at the right of the famous "Angle," advancing to within fifty yards of the rebel works. The men dropped upon the ground for protection, and yet, so destructive was his firc, that the Ninety-third lost four officers, and seventy-three men killed and wounded, in the space of one hour. Captain Richard G. Rogers was mortally wounded.
With the corps, the regiment participated in the fierce fighting which marked the course of the army in its progress to the James, losing men almost daily, and in the engagement on the 18th of May having thirty killed and wounded. It crossed the Rapidan on the 4th of May and entered the cam- paign with seven hundred and fifty men present for duty. As it marched from the trenches at Cold Harbor at its virtual conclusion, it had but three hundred and twenty-five of the number left in its ranks, fifteen officers and three hundred and ten men having been either killed or wounded, and ninety- five sick and sent to the rear. But nine men were captured, and these were wounded and left on the field. "From the 4th of May until the 12th of June," says a member of the command, "the Ninety-third marched three hundred and fifty miles, made twenty-six night marches, was fifteen days without regu- lar rations, dug thirty rifle pits, oftener at night than by day, and fought in eight distinct battles. During all this time there were but five days on which the regiment or some part of it was not under fire, and neither officers nor men ever took off their clothes, seldom their accoutrements, day or night. Clothes and shoes worn out were only re-placed by those of dead men, and not until it arrived at the James River, far from the presence of an enemy, did the men enjoy the luxury of a bath."
Crossing the river on the 15th of June, after two days' marching, the regi- ment arrived in front of Petersburg. Heavy skirmishing at once commenced, and continued till the afternoon of the 1Sth, when a general advance was made, the line pushing close up to the enemy's works by the Norfolk Railroad, and entrenching with bayonets under a heavy fire. Captain Jacob P. Embich was here killed, and five men wounded. Remaining in the trenches under an al- most constant fire until the 22d, it was withdrawn from the right, and taken to the extreme left of the line, where it supported the Third Division in an at- tack upon the enemy's line, losing thirteen killed and wounded. On the 29th it marched southward to the relief of General Wilson, returning with the cav- alry from his raid. After tearing up a portion of the Weldon Railroad, and meeting the cavalry, it returned to camp.
On the 9th of July it was ordered from the front and marching to City Point, was taken upon crowded transports to Washington, the capital being menaced by a corps of the rebel army under General Early. The regiment moved rapidly through the city, hailed by demonstrations of joy, arriving at the defences, Fort Washington, just as Early's skirmishers were advancing over the esplanade. These were quickly driven back, and the skirmish line was established a half mile out from the fort. On the 17th there was sharp

skirmishing until five in the evening, when a general advance was ordered, and a sharp battle ensued. By dusk the enemy was driven at all points. Pur- suit was immediately commenced, passing through Rockville and across the Potomac, and for nearly a month the corps was kept upon the march under a burning sun and upon dusty roads, seemingly to little purpose.
General Sheridan assumed command of the army in the Valley on the 9th of August, and an active campaign was commenced. On the morning of the 27th, while posted at Charlestown, the enemy appeared in front and quickly drove in the skirmishers. The Ninety-third was ordered forward to fill a gap in the retreating skirmish line, and formed across an open meadow. The line was advanced, but was checked and driven back to its original position. . At night the Union forces were withdrawn to Halltown. On the 13th of Septem- ber, in a spirited skirmish, which the Second Division had beyond Opequan Creek, tho regiment supported a battery which was shelled out of position, when it withdrew, sustaining some loss in killed and wounded. At midday on the 19th the battle line was ordered to advance and attack the enemy near Winchester. Ho was driven back nearly a mile, but rallied, and having bro- ken the Union line, pushed it back to its first position. At four it again ad- vanced, and the enemy was driven, losing artillery and a large number of prisoners. The regiment lost in the engagement seven killed and forty wound- ed. On the following morning pursuit of the flying enemy was vigorously pushed, and the ad vanco came up with him at Fisher's Hill, where he was en- trenched. On the 21st the brigade charged and captured Flint Hill, the posi- tion affording a full view of his entrenchments .. It was entrenched and held. On the following afternoon the brigade was held in readiness, and at the word to advance, leaped the breast-works, and crossing the intermediate ravine, under a murderous fire of infantry and artillery, charged up the hill, over skillfully laid obstructions, and carried the enemy's works, capturing a battery of six Rodman guns. The loss was twenty-four in killed and wounded. Cap- tain Jacob Brower was mortally wounded. The color Sergeant, William Smith, displayed unusual gallantry, carrying the flag steadily up, in the face of the battery, and had both legs shot off by a close discharge. After pursuing the enemy up the valley beyond Staunton, taking many prisoners, the army re- turned and took position behind Cedar Creek.
During the month of October, Major Nevin recruited one hundred and eighty men at Pittsburg, and as the original company G had become much reduced, the few men remaining were distributed to other companies, and a new com- pany G was organized from the recruits, commanded by Captain Kuhn.
On the morning of the 19th of October the enemy attacked the Union army at Cedar Creek, and drove it back nearly four miles. The Ninety-third was posted upon a ridge when the route commenced, and with other troops re- pelled several assaults; but the line was finally out-flanked and forced back. At two P. M. an order came from General Sheridan, who had now arrived on the ground, that if the enemy was repulsed when attacked he was to be fol- lowed up without further orders. At three General Sheridan rode along the line saying, as he came to the Ninety-third, " We must sleep in our old camp to-night." The battle soon opened, and for an hour the fighting was very se- vere; but he at length gave way, and his route was complete, the Union line following, taking guns and prisoners at every step. After the battle the regi- inent lay quietly in camp near Strasburg for nearly a month. On the 28th of
1865

CEDAR CREEK AND PETERSBURG.
October the term of the men who did not re-enlist expired, and they were mustered out of service to the number of about one hundred.
Early in November the regiment was ordered to Philadelphia, where, upon its arrival it was assigned to duty in the city, and remained until after the presi- dential election, when it returned to camp at Winchester. About the middle of December, with the corps, it returned to the lines in front of Petersburg, where it went into winter-quarters. Through the exertions of Chaplain Jo- seph S. Lane, a chapel tent was erected, where, during the winter evenings, religious services were held, and the literary society of the regiment met. During the winter, several hundred recruits were received, bringing up its strength to near the minimum standard.
On the 25th of March, 1865, the brigade was ordered to advance upon the enemy's works, and test the strength of the forces occupying them. The space in front was open, and over this the command charged to the summit imme- diately in front of his picket line of trenches. Here was some delay, other parts of the line not having come up, and confusion ensued; but order was soon restored, the line again went forward across the plain, captured the outer pieket trenches and charged up a second hill, where was his main line. Here the brigade halted and for a short time was subjected to a severe enfilading fire. It was soon ascertained that the enemy was present in full force, and the command was rapidly withdrawn. The loss in this brief engagement was fifteen killed and one hundred and thirty-six wounded. Captain George W. Meilinger was among the killed.
At midnight of April 2d the regiment, under command of Captain B. Frank Hean, moved to the front entrenchments in line of battle, forming on the picket line in front of battery Gregg, and at four in the morning, with the rest of the brigade, was ordered to charge the enemy's works, which were carried after an obstinate struggle, the colors of the Ninety-third being the first planted upon his ramparts. After moving a short distance towards Hatcher's Run, the command was ordered to return towards Petersburg. In executing this order the regiment was brought in front of a rebel battery, which opened with grape and canister. At this juncture Sergeant Hiram Layland led a squadron to the left of the battery to out-flank it, and coming up within a short distance opened fire, shooting several of the battery horses, and causing the men to desert their guns. At the same time the line in front charged. Passing on a short distance the line halted and threw up entrenchments. The loss was two killed and thirty-one wounded. In the first charge upon the enemy's breast- works Sergeant Charles Marquette distinguished himself by capturing a rebel flag, for which he received a medal of honor.
During the night the enemy evacuated Petersburg, and on the following morning the corps moved south to Burkesville Junction. On the 6th the regi- ment participated in the battle of Sailor's Creek. On the 9th Lee surren- dered, and soon afterwards the corps made a foreed march to Danville, to eo- operate with Sherman for the defeat of Johnston. After remaining in camp here for several weeks, it returned by rail to Richmond, and thence to Wash- ington, where, on the 27th of June, it was mustered out of service.
