SEVENTY-FOURTH REGIMENT.
The Seventy-fourth Regiment-originally numbered the Thirty-fifth of the Pennsylvania line-was raised in the summer of 1861, was rendezvoused at Camp Wilkins, near Pittsburgh, and mustered into the service of the United States on the 14th of September in the year named. It was placed under command of Col- onel Alexander Von Schimmelfennig, of Phila- delphia, who had known service in the Prussian army.
In the latter part of September the regiment left Camp' Wilkins and proceeded, by way of Philadelphia, to Washington, D. C., where it was armed, uniformed and equipped, and shepce it soon afterwards moved to Virginia, and went into winter-quarters at Hunter's Chapel. It remained there in quarters until March 10, 1862, when it broke camp to move forward
with the army, expecting to assault the enemy at Manassas; but finding that he had abandoned that stronghold, it received orders (at Centre- ville) to proceed to West Virginia, to join the command of General Fremont. It remained in that department nearly five months, being first stationed at Winchester (where the men re- ceived new clothing, shoes and blankets), then at Franklin, where it was engaged in picketing and throwing up fortifications, and later at Strasburg, whence it marched in pursuit of the enemy under Stonewall Jackson, who was over- taken at Cross Keys, where, on the 8th of June, a severe battle was fought, in which the Seventy- fourth lost nineteen killed and wounded. After the battle the regiment moved to Middletown, and thence to Sperryville, arriving July 7th and remaining one month. On the 8th of Au- gust it was ordered to move by forced marches to join the army of General Pope, on the Rap- idan. It set out under these orders at ten o'clock the same night, and marched without camping for sixty hours, but did not reach its destination in time to take part in the disastrous battle of Cedar Mountain which had then just been fought. Soon afterwards it had a sharp engagement with the enemy at Freeman's Ford, losing forty-nine killed and wounded, three drowned and sixteen missing. The Seventy- fourth was at that time a part of the division commanded by General Carl Schurz.
