In the general movement of the army, which commenced on the 4th of May, the Eighteenth led the advance from Germania Ford to Wilderness Tav- ern, and pushing thence in the direction of Orange Court House, drove the enemy back to the neighborhood of Mine Run, where it bivouacked for the night. On the following morning it moved to the left of the Plank Road and met the advance of the enemy under General Rosser, a severe battle ensuing, which resulted in driving him back upon his infantry supports, which were just then coming up the road in his rear, and which proved to be Longstreet's Corps At four in the afternoon the enemy began to withdraw from the front of the Union cavalry and to move by its left on a road which intersected that upon which the cavalry had advanced, anıl the only avenue open for its es- cape. General Wilson immediately ordered the division to fall back, with the exception of the Eighteenth, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Brinton, which he directed to hold its ground, keeping up a show of strength, for one- half hour, and then re-join the column if possible. That half hour seemed a
1046

long one to those gallant men, who stood in presence of an entire corps of the rebel army, and could see by the clouds of dust which marked its course that their only way of escape was being rapidly approached. Until the time had fully elapsed they remained at their posts, and when the signal was given to retire, moved at double quick, in hope of passing the threatened point before it was reached by the enemy. In this they were disappointed; for when the advance, under Major Darlington, approached the junction, he found the enemy in strong force, dismounted and holding all the approaches. The Major imme- diately charged with his battalion, but was driven back by a furious dircet and cross fire from a foe hidden behind fences. The Second Battalion, under Major Phillips, was soon upon the ground, and also made a most gallant charge, but was in like manner repulsed. At this moment Major Darlington fell se- verely wounded. His wound was at the time supposed to be mortal, and he was left in the enemy's hands. He however survived, with the loss of a leg, and was rescued by Sheridan several days after, while on the way to Richmond with other Union prisoners. Some confusion ensued as the battalions retired from these charges, and while they were being re-formed, the enemy opened at very short range with canister. The position of the regiment was a perilous one. In front lay the enemy in strong position ; the road on the right was filled with his infantry ; the battery vomited forth its surcharged missiles on the left; and to the rear was a pine thicket, apparently impassable for cavalry. The enemy, seeing that the regiment was completely cut off, commenced cross- ing to the road on which it had retreated, and forming in its rear. Standing alone against overwhelming numbers, its capture seemed inevitable. The only hope of escape was through the pines, and at a given signal the regiment. plunged into the thicket, and by the most strenuous exertions succeeded in forcing its way through, and across a swamp in its rear, gaining the open woods, where it could hold the enemy in check, with but the loss of one officer and thirty-nine men in killed, wounded, and captured. At. evening it joined the division in camp, near Old Wilderness Tavern, where it was received with marks of rejoicing, the entire regiment having been reported as captured. From the division headquarters a bottle of wine was sent to Colonel Brinton, on which was this inscription : "To the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, which knows how to fight into and how to fight out of a hard place."
On the 7th the regiment moved to the east and encamped near the out-works of Fredericksburg, and on the following day proceeded to Spottsylvania Court House, where the Eighteenth charged into the place, then held by the enemy's dismounted cavalry, capturing fifty prisoners and driving his cavalry back upon his advancing infantry. On the 9th the regiment, with the main body of Sheri- dan's command, moved around the right flank of Lee's army, and struck boldly out towards Richmond. In this exciting and difficult march, where the enemy sprung up on all sides, and greatly harassed and impeded its course, the regi- ment participated, being engaged on the 11th at Yellow Tavern, on the 12th at Richmond, and finally, on the 16th, reached Haxall's Landing, on the James, where supplies were obtained from the command of General Butler. After a few days rest, Sheridan returned and re-joined the main body of the army near the South Anna. On the 31st the cavalry crossed the Pamunky and moved up towards Hanover Court House, which was found in possession of Generals Fitz Hugh Lce and Wyckham, who held all the roads leading thereto. The outposts were immediately driven in, but finding the main body securely

EIGHTEENTH CAVALRY-THREE YEARS' SERVICE.
posted behind barricades of rails, a halt was ordered until evening, when the Eighteenth Pennsylvania, supported by the Second Ohio, was ordered to charge and clear the town. At twilight the charge was made, dismounted, and though opposed by vastly superior numbers, well covered by breast-works, was driven in utter rout and confusion, and many prisoners were taken. Lieutenant Col- onel Brinton and Major Phillips, who led the charge, were both slightly, and Captains M. S. Kingsland and David Hamilton severely wounded. Early on the following morning the command started in pursuit of the foe, but at Ash- land he was met in overpowering numbers and it was compelled to fall back again to Hanover, whence it marched to Old Church Tavern, on the road from Richmond to White House, where it joined the main body of the army. The regiment was immediately placed on picket and scout duty, in which it was engaged until the movement commenced for the crossing of the James. As the army moved over the Peninsula the Eighteenth was of the rear guard, and was subjected to severe duty. At St. Mary's Church, on the 15th of June, the regiment was hotly engaged with the enemy's infantry, holding him at bay for nearly five hours, and only retired in obedience to the orders of the command- ing general. The loss in the engagement in killed, wounded, and missing, was thirty-three. Lieutenants Samuel H. Tresonthick and Samuel H. M'Cormick were mortally wounded.
On the 17th of June the regiment crossed the James and moved to the neighborhood of Prince George Court House. On the 23d General Wilson started with his division, with the exception of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania and Third New Jersey, on an expedition for the destruction of the railroads south of Richmond. Two days before he started these two regiments had been sent to report for duty to General Wright, commanding the Sixth Corps, which occupied a position on the extreme left of the army. They were employed in picketing a line of nearly five miles on Wright's left flank, involving much se- vere service. On the 23d the Eighteenth, supported by a few hundred sharp- shooters, drove the enemy from the Weldon Road, at Yellow House, and tore up a portion of the track, but was subsequently driven back to Wright's lines. For nearly a month it remained on duty here and then re-joined the division at Prince George Court House.
On the 7th of August, the regiment embarked at City Point to proceed to the Shenandoah Valley, whither two divisions of cavalry had been ordered. At Washington, the brigade was armed with Spencer repeating carbines. Upon reaching the Valley, active operations at once commenced, and on the 17th, the regiment was engaged at Winchester, holding in check the columns of Early, now pressing upon Sheridan, and three days later at Summit Station. At Charlestown the fighting was renewed, and again at Leetown, to the right of Charlestown, in each of which the regiment was at the front, and did good service. On the 19th of September occurred the memorable battle of Win- chester. At one o'clock on the morning of that day, the regiment broke camp, and moving up the Winchester Pike, crossed the Opequan at dawn, driving the enemy's pickets in upon a brigade of infantry lying behind slight earth-works, on an eminence easily defensible, and really the key to the enemy's entire position. With the Fifth and Second New York deployed as skirmishers, the Eighteenth was ordered to charge. The third battalion had the advance, and dashing forward, drove the enemy from his works, and into a wood beyond, from which it was in turn repulsed by a rapid fire. But at
1048
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THIRD REGIMENT,
this juncture, the main body of the regiment came up, led by Colonel Brinton, and drove the enemy for half a mile, and, aided by the rest of the brigade, held this commanding position until Sheridan's infantry came to its relicf. General M'Intosh, who led the brigade, was complimented by Sheridan for its gallantry and daring in this charge. Colonel Brinton, after having his horse twice shot, and his clothing riddled with bullets, finally fell into the enemy's hands. The loss in killed, wounded, and missing, was twenty-four. "The casualties, " says an officer, " were much greater than those mentioned above, but the names are now forgotten. Their unflinching bravery and noble self- sacrifice is not, and I shall ever remember, with the liveliest emotions, the charge made by the Eighteenth on that eventful day, and how nobly the boys stood there on that hill side, in face of the cnemy's infantry line, and re-formed, and charged again and again, until the position was taken." After the hour's fight in the early morning, and when relieved by the Sixth Corps, the division moved to the left, where Sheridan's whole battle line was in full view. In the afternoon it participated in the general assault which drove the enemy in rout, in which General M'Intosh was wounded. On the 20th, it moved through the Luray Valley, and at Front Royal came up with the enemy's cavalry, which was posted to dispute its progress. Major Phillips who led the Eighteenth, was ordered to force a passage, and drive the enemy from his works on the opposite bank. The Third Battalion, under Captain Britton, took the advance, and dismounting, cleared the barricades with which the road was obstructed, and boldly advanced upon the opposite bank, driving the enemy, and securing possession of his works. Pursuit was im- mediately given to the retreating foe, and on the 22d, the division came upon him, strongly posted across the narrow valley, which is here little more thin a ravine. A sharp artillery duel ensued, but no advantage was gained. On the following day, the main body of the enemy having been defeated, in the meantime, at Fisher's Hill, the force upon Wilson's front withdrew, and he pushed forward to New Market, where he met the main Union column, and drew scanty supplies, joining in the pursuit which was pushed as far as Waynesboro. Returning to Bridgewater, the division encamped, and when Sheridan fell back to Cedar Creek, it retired to Brock's Gap, where, on the night of the 6th of October, the Eighteenth, while on picket, was vigorously attacked, but suc- ceeded in repelling the enemy, and inflicting serious loss. The regiment lost sixteen in killed and wounded. On the 8th, the command moved towards Cedar Creek, the Eighteenth acting as rear guard, and suffering from frequent and furious attacks of the enemy. Major Phillips, who was in command, says: " In all the hard service which the regiment did, it had no harder day's work than that of the 8th day of October, 1864. It was one continued running figlit." The loss was comparatively slight, being eight killed and wounded, and five captured. The enemy's loss was much greater, he being obliged to attack, and the repeating carbines of the regiment proving very destructive. On the following day, the division faced the enemy and assumed the offensive, advancing over the ground on which the Eighteenth had fought so desperately the day before. The line was formed with the Eighteenth on the extreme right, resting along the slopes of the Allegheny Ridge. At the signal to advance, the line swept forward with resistless power, driving the enemy, under Rosser, in confusion, capturing all his artillery, six pieces, and his entire ambulance and wagon train. In the race for the captures, the Eigh-

teenth was among the foremost, and at the moment when those in advance reached the first wagon, Lieutenant John R. Winters fell, mortally wounded, by the ball of a sharp-shooter concealed in the wood to the left of the road.
In the battle of Cedar Creek, on the 19th of October, the Eighteenth was engaged from early dawn until evening, when it participated with the brigade in a brilliant charge, which closed the struggle and swept from the enemy's grasp his guns and trains. This single brigade was accredited with the cap- ture of forty-five pieces. The loss in the engagement was three killed and five wounded. On the 12th of November the division again met the enemy's cav- alry near Cedar Creek. The brigade charged and drove him three miles. The Second Brigade, which charged on a parallel road, was repulsed, and the enemy, following up, came in upon the Eighteenth unawares, capturing Major Phillips, Lieutenant Blough, and fifteen men. Soon after this the regiment went into winter-quarters near Harper's Ferry. It subsequently participated in the de- scent upon Waynesboro, whereby the remnants of Early's army were captured, and with the Fifth New York Cavalry, was detailed to conduct the prisoners taken, amounting to fiftcen hundred, back to Winchester. On the way Gen- eral Rosser repeatedly attacked, counting confidently on the release of the pri- soners, but he was foiled in every attempt, and the prisoners were all safely delivered to the commanders at Winchester. This virtually closed the active campaigning of the regiment. It remained near Winchester, engaged in pick- eting and scouting, until after the fall of Richmond and the surrender of Lee. Two expeditions were made up the valley for the purpose of receiving the pa- roles of returning rebel soldiers, and early in May it moved from Winchester to Cumberland, Maryland, where it encamped, and where, on the 24th of June, the regiment, with the exception of Company E, which was mustered out of ser vice on the 14th, was consolidated with the Twenty-second Pennsylvania Cav- alry, forming the Third Provisional Cavalry. The new regiment moved to Clarksburg, West Virginis, soon after the consolidation, and remained on duty there until the 31st of October, when it was mustered out.
