At Fredericksburg, with Captain Charles F. Taylor1 (brother of the dis- tinguished writer and traveler, Bayard Taylor) in command, the Bucktails, as usual, were thrown forward into the most advanced and exposed positions, and, fighting with their accustomed bravery, lost nineteen killed, and one hun- dred and thirteen wounded and missing.
From February, 1863, until the 25th of June of the same year, the regi- ment was stationed near Fairfax Court House, resting and recruiting, when, as part of the First Brigade, Crawford's Division of the Fifth Corps, it marched to meet Lee's rebel army in Pennsylvania. At noon, on the 2d of July, the regiment reached the neighborhood of Gettysburg, where a great battle was in progress. After a short rest the roll was called, and to the great satisfac-

tion of its commander every man was found in his place-a force five hun- dred strong. At four P. M. the division was ordered to the front, and moved over in the direction of Little Round Top, where the Union lines were being hard pressed, the artillerists ready to spike their guns. The brigade was hastily formed in two lines, the Bucktails on the left of the second line, and charged down the slope in the face of a heavy fire. At the foot of the hill was a deep swamp, thirty or forty yards in width, and upon reaching it the second line deployed to the left and, wading across, drove the enemy into the woods beyond the stone wall which skirted it. The left, with Colonel Taylor at its head, continued the pursuit through the woods to a wheat field beyond, where, in the act of steadying his men, he fell dead, shot through the heart. Here fought the Bucktails and their brigade, with wavering fortunes, until about the middle of the afternoon of July 3, when an advance was made through the woods and wheat field mentioned. The movement resulted in a complete success. The Bucktails were soon engaged hand to hand with the enemy, and nearly the entire Fifteenth Georgia Infantry, with its colors, was captured. Night coming on, the brigade rested nearly a mile in advance of the position held in the morning. Besides Colonel Taylor, Lieutenant Robert Hall, of the Warren county company, and six men, were killed, and thirty- nine officers and men were wounded of the Bucktails in this battle. In the maneuvers of the two great hostile armies during the remaining months of 1863, the Bucktails were constantly upon the skirmish line, frequently engag- ing the enemy, rarely in a position to be secure from attack, and finally, at the close of the campaign, went into winter quarters at Bristoe Station, where they remained until the close of April, 1864.
Just before the beginning of the fight in the Wilderness, the regiment, now commanded by Major Hartshorn, and who, by the way, continued in com- mand until the close of its term of service, was armed with Spencer's seven- shooters, in place of Sharpe's rifles. It crossed the Rapidan on the 4th of May, and fought through the Wilderness, with a loss of thirty-seven men killed and wounded. At Spottsylvania and again at Bethesda Church, the Bucktails were ever found in front, gallantly sustaining their reputation as one of the most efficient and trustworthy regiments in the Union army. The battle fought at Bethesda Church, May 30 1864, was the last in which the Buck- tails were engaged, their term of service having expired on that day. The casualties, during the campaign of less than thirty days' duration, were two officers and twenty-six enlisted men killed, and six officers and one hundred and twelve enlisted men wounded. The veterans and recruits were transferred to the One Hundred and Ninetieth Regiment May 31, and the remainder were mustered out of service at Harrisburg on the 11th of June, 1864.

FIFTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT.
N the autumn of 1861 Hon. Carlton B. Curtis, of Warren, was authorized I to recruit a regiment of infantry in the northwestern part of the State. He succeeded in rallying under his colors five companies, or what was then termed the One Hundred and Fourteenth Regiment. About the Ist of No- vember he left Warren with nearly two hundred men, and proceeded to Hunt- ingdon, Pa., where the major portion of his men were assembled. Subse- quently they were ordered to Harrisburg, and finally to Camp Curtis, near Philadelphia. Meanwhile, J. Richter Jones, having received the requisite au- thority from Governor Curtin, was also engaged in the task of recruiting a regi- ment, designated the Fifty-eighth, in the city of Philadelphia and vicinity. He, also, failed to recruit but five companies. Hence, by mutual agreement of Jones and Curtis, their respective commands were consolidated, and the com-

bined force received for its designation the lowest number-the Fifty-eighth. A regimental organization was effected February 13, 1862, by the selection of the following field officers: John Richter Jones, of Sullivan county, colonel ; Carlton B. Curtis, of Warren county, lieutenant-colonel, and Montgomery Martin, of Philadelphia, major.
On the 8th of March the regiment left its camp, near Philadelphia, and proceeded by rail and water transportation to Fortress Monroe. The day of its arrival was signalized by the renowned contest between the Merrimac and Monitor. About two months later it formed part of an expedition, sent on transports to Norfolk, under General Wool. This movement resulted in the occupation of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newtown, Gosport, and the Navy Yard. In October it was ordered to Suffolk, and soon after participated in a move- ment against the enemy on the Blackwater.
Early in January, 1863, the regiment was embarked, with a force under com- mand of General Foster, for Beaufort, N. C. Thereafter, until towards the close of April, 1864, its campaigns were confined to that State. Although it fought no battles of moment, nor lost but few men in action, it rendered active, ardu- ous, and very efficient service. Its gallant commander, Colonel Jones, was in- stantly killed by a rebel sharpshooter in an action at Bachelor's Creek Station, N. C., May 23, 1863. Lieutenant-Colonel Curtis was promoted to fill the va- cancy, but resigned July 2, 1863. Captain Cecil Clay then became the rank- ing officer, and continued in command of the regiment until its term of serv- ice expired.
Together with many other troops, the regiment was transferred by boats from North Carolina to the Army of the James about May 1, 1864. On the 9th the division had a sharp encounter with the enemy, in which the regiment lost twenty killed and wounded. At Cold Harbor, on the Ist of June, the regiment engaged in a charge and drove the enemy into his intrenched line, sustaining a loss of thirty-five in killed and wounded. Again on the 3d did the Fifty-eighth behave so handsomely that it was specially complimented by army correspondents.
On the evening of September 28 a considerable portion of the Army of the James moved across James River on muffled pontoons. The brigade of which the Fifty-eighth formed a part had the advance, and at sunrise skirmish- ing commenced. As the Union columns pressed forward, the rebels fell back to the forts and defenses, which were in full view, extending from the river north to the vicinity of White Oak Swamp. The brigade was immediately ordered up, and the Fifty-eighth and One Hundred and Eighty-eighth Penn- sylvania Regiments were selected to lead the charge upon Fort Harrison, the principal defense. A public road led directly to the fort, and the ground in front, over which the charge must be made, was open and ascending for about twelve hundred yards. The public road mentioned was at the center of the

charging troops, the left of the Fifty-eighth resting upon it. Fifty yards from the fort the ground rises quite suddenly to the crest, just in rear of which was the ditch with abatis in front. The fort mounted sixteen guns, two of them one hundred pounders. Forming for the desperate work, the two regiments moved forward at a regular pace until within five hundred yards, when, in the face of a storm of shot and shell that swept their ranks, they rushed forward as one man until they reached the little ridge in front of the fort. Here all, with one accord, dropped to the ground under partial shelter ; but only for an instant, for at this moment General Ord came dashing up, and, inspired by the presence and daring of their chief, the men sprang forward with wild shouts, passed the abatis and the ditch, and scaling the parapet, drove the enemy in rout and confusion from the fort.
The colors of the Fifty-eighth, which had three times fallen in the desperate onset, were planted upon the parapet by Captain Clay, who, with his adjutant, was among the first to enter the work. As Captain Clay, who had just taken the flag from the hands of the fallen corporal, attempted to raise it upon the fort, he received two gunshot wounds in the right arm. The flag itself was completely riddled, and the staff twice shot off. Of the nine officers and two hundred and twenty-eight men who advanced, six officers and one hundred and twenty-eight men were either killed or wounded.
On the afternoon of the same day these two regiments were ordered to at- tack the Star Fort, situated a mile to the left of Fort Harrison and near the river. Filled with fiery zeal by their success in the morning, they moved gal- lantly forward, scaled the ramparts, and spiked the guns; but weakened by their severe losses, the rebel gun-boats playing upon them, and supports fail- ing to come at the critical moment [Where was Ord?] they were obliged to fall back, and the advantage, dearly purchased, was lost. They returned to Fort Harrison and all night long were engaged in throwing up a skillfully planned line of earthworks. The next day the enemy attacked in heavy force and with determined valor, but was repulsed with great loss.
Thenceforward until its muster out the regiment was actively engaged in various fields, but was not an active participant in battle. After the suspension of hostilities it was assigned to duty by detachments in the lower counties of Virginia, under orders from the Freedmen's Bureau. It was finally mustered out of service at City Point January 24, 1866.
The Warren county men in the regiment served chiefly in Companies F and G, among them being Captains Lucius Rogers and Olney V. Cotter.
EIGHTY-THIRD REGIMENT.
This regiment was organized at Erie soon after the expiration of the term of Colonel McLane's three months regiment. It was composed of nearly three hundred members of the old regiment, besides others from the counties of Erie,
195
EIGHTY-THIRD REGIMENT.
Crawford, Warren, Venango, and Mercer. They rendezvoused at Camp Mc- Lane, where, on the 8th of September, 1861, they were mustered into the United States service for three years, with Colonel John W. McLane as their commanding officer.
On the 18th of the same month the regiment proceeded to Washington, D. C., where it was assigned to the Third Brigade of Porter's Division, afterwards known as the First Division of the Fifth Corps. It soon attained a high state of proficiency in drill, etc., and was considered one of the model volunteer reg- iments of the army. It participated in the Peninsula campaign, beginning with the so-called seige of Yorktown and terminating with the retreat of Mc- Clellan to Harrison's Landing. At Hanover Court House, at Gaines's Mill, where Colonel McLane was killed, and where two hundred and sixty-five others of the regiment were either killed, wounded, or captured, and at Mal- vern Hill, where forty were killed and one hundred and ten wounded, the Eighty-third won imperishable honor. Again, at the second battle of Bull Run it was warmly engaged, losing about seventy-five in killed and wounded, but at Antietam it had an opportunity to pour but few volleys into the enemy's ranks. Its losses at Fredericksburg were six killed and thirty wounded, and at Chancellorsville only some four or five were wounded.
The regiment reached the battle-field of Gettysburg on the morning of the 2d of July, and with its brigade was posted on Little Round Top. Here it fought desperately and assisted in repulsing repeated charges of Longstreet's men, though it lost another gallant commander in the person of Colonel Vin- cent, who fell mortally wounded. The losses in the regiment were compara- tively slight, however -since it fought, for the most part, from behind rocks- being eight killed and thirty-eight wounded. During the following winter its ranks were increased by the addition of four hundred drafted men and substi- tutes, a large proportion of whom proved to be entirely worthless. Subse- quently the regiment participated in the movements, battles, etc., of the Fifth Corps, losing heavily in all of the chief engagements fought till the expiration of its original term of service, which occurred September 18, 1864. It then contained about three hundred and fifty effective men. Of these about one hundred were mustered out, and the balance, composed of veterans and recruits, was organized in six companies, and known as the battalion of the Eighty- third. Finally, after following Lee to Appomattox to his defeat and surrender, these men were mustered out at Washington, D. C., June 28, and were dis- banded at Harrisburg, Pa., July 4, 1865. The Warren county men who served in this regiment were scattered among various companies; hence at this late day it is found impracticable to make individual mention of them.

T "HIS regiment was chiefly recruited in the counties of Erie, Warren, and Crawford, under authority granted by the secretary of war, on the 2d of September, 1861, to M. Schlaudecker, a citizen of Erie. Companies B and D were composed of Warren county men, besides which, Lieutenant George J. Whitney, and many others from Youngsville, and vicinity, added largely to the strength of Company H. Warren county men were also found in other companies of the regiment. The men rendezvoused at Camp Reed near the city of Erie, where, on the 24th of January, 1862, the following field officers were chosen: M. Schlaudecker, colonel; George A. Cobham, of Warren, lieu- tenant-colonel, and Thomas M. Walker, major. On the following day the regiment started for Baltimore, Md. Equipments were obtained at Harrisburg, and at Baltimore drill and guard duty were performed until the middle of May, when it was ordered to Harper's Ferry to reinforce General Banks, then retreating down the Shenandoah Valley before a superior force of the enemy under "Stonewall" Jackson. Here it performed active service and met the enemy for the first time in a skirmish near Charlestown.
Towards the close of June, upon the organization of the Army of Virginia, under General Pope, the regiment was assigned to the Second Brigade, Second Division, Second Corps, commanded respectively by Generals Prince, Augur, and Banks. In the battle of Cedar Mountain, on the 9th of July, which was principally fought by Banks's Corps, the One Hundred and Eleventh behaved with the utmost gallantry. It was led in the engagement by Major Walker (Colonels Schlaudecker and Cobham being absent sick), and lost nineteen killed, sixty-one wounded, and thirteen missing.
It soon after proceeded on the march through Maryland, and participated in the battle of Antietam, where for eight hours it was engaged in severe fighting. For the gallantry exhibited in this engagement, and especially for
197
ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVENTH REGIMENT.
the heroic daring displayed in the charge which cleared the enemy from the grove, where stood the little church, around which was the severest fighting, Colonel Stainrook, the brigade commander, presented the regiment on the field with a stand of colors. It went into the fight with three hundred muskets, and lost thirty-three killed, or mortally wounded, seventy-one wounded, and seven missing. Among the killed was Captain Arthur Corrigan, the com- mander of one of the Warren county companies.
