ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-THIRD REGIMENT.
THE companies composing this regiment were recruited in Luzerne county, with the exception of two, H and K, which were from Susquehanna, Wyo- ming, and Lycoming. A camp of rendezvous was established three miles from Wilkesbarre, in July, 1862, which these companies were the first to occupy, and herc on the 18th of October, the regiment was organized by the choice of the following field officers : Edmund L. Dana, Colonel; George E. Hoyt, Lieu- tenant Colonel; John D. Musser, Major. Colonel Dana had been a soldier in the Mexican war, and was at the time serving as a Major General of militia. Drill was immediately commenced under the instruction of Colonel Dana, and Major Hendrickson, of the regular army-mustering officer at the camp-who voluntarily rendered valuable assistance.
On the 7th of November the regiment broke camp and proceeded to Har- risburg, where it was armed with Enfield rifles, and thence to Washington. Upon its arrival at the Capital it was sent to camp on the south side of the Potomac, where it remained a few days, when it returned and was assigned to duty in the northern defenses of the city, encamping near Fort Slocum. It rc- mained there three months, during which time large details werc daily made for fatigue duty upon the fortifications, schools were established for the instruc- tion of officers, which were regularly attended, and drill was actively prose- cuted. On the 17th of February, 1863, it was ordered to the front, and pro- ceeded to Belle Plain, where it was assigned to the Second Brigade,* Third Division, First Corps. On the 20th of April, the regiment accompanied the division on an expedition to Port Royal, below Fredericksburg, where a feint was made of crossing the river, returning to camp on the 22d. Ample prepa- Iations having been made for the spring campaign, the army moved on the 27th, the First Corps proceeding to Pollock's Mill, on White Oak Run, below Fredericksburg. On the 29th the regiment was under a brisk cannonade from the opposite bank of the Rappahannock, the sharp-shooters on both sides being very active, and the division sustaining some loss. In the meantime three corps of the army had crossed the river above Fredericksburg, under the lead of General Hooker in person, and were engaged at Chancellorsville. Thither the Third Corps, which had accompanied the First, proceeded on the 30th, and

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-THIRD REGIMENT,
on the morning of the 2d of May, the First followed it, arriving on the field at midnight, after a long and fatiguing march, and passing for the last three or four miles many of the wounded who were being borne from the front. The First Corps went into position on the extreme right of the army, on the wooded heights overlooking Hunting Creek, and stretching away towards the Rapidan .. At five o'clock on the morning of the 3d, the enemy attacked in heavy force, to the left of the position occupied by the One Hundred and Forty-third, which was on the extreme left of the corps, the fire extending at times nearly to the' position which it- held. Strong breast-works were thrown up, with abattis' in front. The fighting continued until nearly noon. Another attack was made' to the left of the corps on the afternoon of the 4th, and at five P. M. the bri- gade was sent out on a reconnaissance in rear of the enemy's position. Early on' the afternoon of May 6th, the return mareh was commeneed, and after a tedious' cireuit by White Oak Church and Belle Plain, it went into camp at Falmouth' on the 8th.
A month later the corps started on the Gettysburg campaign, and was the first to reach the field of action. It had bivouacked on the night of the 30th at a point on Marsh Creek, about four miles from the town of Gettysburg! On the morning of the 1st of July it moved forward and soon the sound of artillery was heard, the cavalry under Buford engaging the enemy's advance? At a little before noon the brigade went into position upon a ridge beyond' that on which the Theological Seminary stands, under a heavy fire, the One Hundred and Forty-third forming on the line of railroad. Early in the action' General Reynolds was killed, and Colonels Stone and Wister were wounded. The command of the brigade then devolved on Colonel Dana, that of the regi- ment on Lieutenant Colonel Musser. A terrific fire of infantry and artillery was brought to bear on the position, but it was manfully held, though the dead and wounded on every hand told at what a fearful cost. Repeated' charges were made with ever fresh troops, but each was repulsed with fearful slaughter. Finally the enemy succeeded in flanking the position, and the line' was pressed back a short distance, but made a stand in a field a little back from the first railroad eut. Later in the afternoon the brigade was forced to retire to a position near the Seminary. When this movement became necessary-the' Union force being vastly outnumbered, and the command for it had been given- the color bearer of the regiment and many of the men eould with difficulty be made to face to the rear, seeming determined to die rather than yield the ground. In executing this movement the color bearer, Benjamin H. Crippen, Sergeant company E, was among the last to move and was killed in the act, still elinging to his standard. This incident is thus recorded by an English officer, who was at the time with the enemy, in an article in Blackwood's Magazine. "General Hill," he says, " soon came up. * * Said he had had two of his divi- sions engaged, and had driven the enemy four miles into his present position, capturing a great many prisoners, some eannon, and some colors. He said, however, that the Yankees had fought with a determination unusual to them. He pointed out a railway eutting in which they had made a good stand; also a field in the centre of which he had seen a man plant the regimental colors, round which the enemy had fought for some time with much obstinacy; and when at last it was obliged to retreat, the color bearer retired last of all, turn- ing round every now thon to shake his fist at the advancing rebels> General Hill said he felt quite sorry when he had seen this gallant> Yankee meet' his
