For two months, during the heat of summer, the regiment performed toil- some marches with the corps through Maryland and Virginia, to little appa- rent purpose. In September, while encamped near Perryville, one hundred and seventy recruits were received. On the 19th of September it moved with the army under Sheridan against the enemy at the Opequan. Ricketts' Divi- sion was sent at ten in the morning, over rugged ground to attack the enemy's front. When the wooded heights had been cleared, and the summit attained, Early, seeing the danger which threatened him, hurled his shells with fright- ful effect, and charged with overwhelming force. Ricketts was swept back with considerable loss; but rallying, held his ground, and again advanced, regain- ing his lost ground, and hurling the enemy before him. The Eighty-seventh lost in this engagement sixty in killed and wounded. The advantage was fol- lowed up, and on the 22d at Fisher's Hill, the enemy was again routed with a loss to the regiment of one killed and one wounded.


On the 23d of September, the original term of service having expired, the regiment, with the exception of veterans and recruits, was ordered to York, where on the 13th of October it was mustered out of service. The veterans and recruits were consolidated into a battalion of five companies, which was commanded by Edgar M. Ruhl, senior Captain. He lead his battalion in the battle of Cedar Creek, October 19th, where he was instantly killed by a rifle ball. In March, 1865, five new companies were assigned to the battalion bringing it up to the full strength of a regiment. Captain James Tearney, sub- sequently commissioned Colonel, had assumed command on the previous De- cember, and retained it until the final muster out. On the 2d of April it par- ticipated in a charge upon the works before Petersburg, losing two officers and five men killed, and three officers and twenty-three men wounded. Lieuten- ants Samuel W. Keascy and Peter Nickle were among the killed. It was also engaged at Sailor's Creek, on the 6th, with a loss of one wounded. It was finally mustered out at Alexandria, on the 29th of June.
