NINETY-SIXTH REGIMENT. *
T THE National Light Infantry of Pottsville, a company of over thirty years' standing, the first organized body of men in the United States to offer its services to the General Government at the outbreak of the rebellion, and have them accepted, one of the first five companies from this State to reach the menaced capital, and afterwards a part of the Twenty-fifth Regiment in the three months' service, formed the nucleus of the Ninety-sixth Regiment, and recruited and re-organized under its former Second Lieutenant, Lewis J. Martin, was the first to report in camp. Henry L. Cake, who had commanded the Twenty-fifth Regiment, had received authority from the War Department, on the 13th of August, 1861, to raise a regiment for three years, and establish- ing a camp.at Lawton's Hill, overlooking the town of Pottsville, at once com- menced the work of recruiting, many of the officers and men of his old command entering the new. With the exception of companies C, E, G and H, in which were some men from Luzerne, Berks, Dauphin, and Montgomery counties, the regiment was recruited in Schuylkill county. On the 23d of September the command was mustered into the United States service with the following field officers : Henry L. Cake, Colonel; Jacob G. Frick, Lieutenant Colonel; Lewis J. Martin, Major. A week later, a company under Wm. H. Lessig, organized as a light battery, to be attached to the regiment, came into camp. Subse- quently company C, Captain Beaton Smith, was, by order of the Governor, transferred to the Fifty-second Regiment, when Lessig's company was substi- tuted as infantry in its place. On the 6th of November, Governor Curtin and staff visited Pottsville, and presented, with appropriate ceremonies, the State colors.
On the 8th of November the regiment moved by rail to Washington, and upon its arrival went into camp at Kendall Green, where it was armed with Harper's Ferry muskets. Colonel Cake promptly reported to General Casey, and was at once placed in command of the First Provisional Brigade, of which the Ninety-sixth formed part. The regiment was here thoroughly drilled in the manual, company, and battalion exercises. On the 25th it crossed the Potomac, and encamped on the Leesburg Pike, a short distance beyond Fort Ellsworth. It was assigned to Slocum's Brigadet of Franklin's Division, and on the
*The history of the Ninety-sixth is in a measure a continuation of the history of the First Five Companies and of the Twenty-fifth Regiment. In the note to the fifth page of the first volume, relative to the National Light Infantry, the name of Henry L. Cake, was by mistake omitted from the names of Captains, and to his exertions was it largely due that when the crisis of the rebellion came this company was organized and ready to move.

BATTLE OF WEST POINT.
1862
27th of December wentinto permanent winter-quarters on the Loudon and Hamp- shire Railroad, near its crossing of Four Mile Run. It remained engaged in drill and occasional picket duty until the 10th of March, 1862, when it joined in the abortive movement upon Manassas, but soon returned to camp. On the 4th of April, with M'Dowell's Corps, it took up the line of march for Fred- ericksburg. On reaching Catlett's Station it went into camp, and remained until the 12th, when Franklin's Division returned to Alexandria, and embarked for the Peninsula. M'Clellan was now engaged in the siege of Yorktown, and on the 23d, the division having arrived, a part of it debarked in the vicinity of Cheeseman's Creek. The enemy having evacuated Yorktown on the 4th of May, the troops on shore again embarked, and proceeding up the York River, on the 6th, in company with the divisions of Sedgwick, Porter, and Richard- son, arrived at four P. M. at Brick House Point, below West Point, where the Twenty-seventh New York, and companies A, B, C and D, of the Ninety-sixth debarked, and forming in line of battle, with skirmishers thrown out, advanced for the protection of the pioneers engaged in slashing timber and obstructing the roads. "At nine o'clock on the following morning the order was given for the Sixteenth, Thirty-first, and Thirty-second New York, and the Ninety-fifth and Ninety-sixth Pennsylvania regiments to advance into the woods and drive off some of therebel scouts who were firing occasional shots at our pickets, supposed to be supported by a force concealed in the woods. This proved correct; for no sooner had our men made an advance into the woods than they were re- ceived with a volley of musketry from the rebels who were hidden in tho dense undergrowth. Our men pressed on and gave them a volley, after which the enemy retreated further into the woods, with the Thirty-second New York close at their heels; but they were too swift footed for our boys-being more protected-and they soon left the Thirty-second struggling in the mud."* The Ninety-sixth was now held upon the extreme left of the line, nearest to Brick House Point, to prevent a flank movement of the enemy in that di- rection, while the fighting on the right centre, where his forces were concealed in a dense swamp, was animated, the Thirty-first and Thirty-second New York, and the Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania sustaining considerable loss.
After the engagement at West Point, the Fifth and Sixth Provisional corps were organized, to the latter of which General Franklin was assigned, Gen- eral Slocum being promoted to the command of the division, and Colonel Bartlett, of the Twenty-seventh New York, to that of the brigade. On the 25th the division moved past Gaines' Mill, and went into camp in the vicinity of Hogan's House, just beyond. A few days later the brigade moved up to Mechanicsville, where it remained doing picket duty along the Chickahominy until the 6th of June, when it returned to its former position at the Hogan House. On the 18th the division was relieved by the Pennsylvania Reserves, and crossing the Chickahominy at Woodbury Bridge, took position on the right bank, between Smith's Division, which had the right, and Sumner's Corps the left. Here the brigade remained engaged in arduous picket and fatigue duty until the opening of the Seven Days' Battles. On the evening of that day, the 26th, a detail of three hundred and fifty men of the Ninety- sixth, with a like detail of the Seventh Maine, under Lieutenant Colonel Frick, advanced to the front in the direction of Old Tavern, and under cover of darkness, threw up a redoubt in close proximity to the enemy's lines.
