ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SECOND REGIMENT.
The One Hundred and Forty-second Regi- ment was made up of three companies from Somerset County, and one from each of the counties of Westmoreland, Mereer, Monroe, Venango, Luzerne, Fayette and Union, the last-named being Company E, of which the original commanding officer was Captain John A. Owens.
The regimental rendezvous was at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, where the companies were mustered into the service as they arrived dur- ing the month of August, 1862. On the 1st of September the organization of the regiment was effected, under the following-named field offi- cers : Colonel, Robert P. Cummins, of Somer- set County ; Lieutenant-Colonel, Alfred B. Mc- Calmont, of Venango ; Major, John Bradley, of Luzerne. Within two days from the time the organization was completed the regiment moved to Washington, D. C., where it was first em- ployed in the construction of fortifications for the defense of the city. In the latter part of September it was moved to Frederick, Md., where it remained a few weeks, and early in October it marched to Warrenton, Va., it hav- ing been assigned to duty in the Second Brig- ade, Third Division (the Pennsylvania Reserves) of the First Corps. From Warrenton it moved to Brooks' Station, on the Richmond, Freder- ieksburg and Potomac Railroad.
The men of the regiment first smelt the smoke of battle at Fredericksburg, on the 13th of De- cember. The Reserve division formed a part of General Franklin's grand division, and at noon on the 12th crossed the Rappahannock, and took up a position for the night along the river-bank. Early on the following morning the division crossed the ravine which cuts the plain nearly parallel with the river, and formed in line of battle. The One Hundred and For- ty-second Regiment was deployed on the left of the division, supporting a battery. Finally the order was given to charge, and the regiment went forward with a cheer, but was met by a fusilade so deadly that its advance was checked. " Exposed to a destructive fire, from which the rest of the brigade was shielded, it could only await destruction, without the privilege of re-

turning it, and with no prospect of gaining an advantage; but with a nerve which veterans might envy, it heroically maintained its position till ordered to retire. Out of five hundred and fifty men who stood in well-ordered ranks in the morning, two hundred and fifty in one brief hour were stricken down. After this disastrous charge the division fell back to the position west of the ravine which it had occupied on the previous day, where it remained until, with the army, it recrossed the river on the night of the 15th, and two days after went into winter-quar- ters near Belle Plain Landing." 1
In February, 1863, the regiment, with the Reserves, were sent to the defenses of Washing- ton, and remained there till late in April, when it again moved to the Rappahannock. During the progress of the great battle of Chancellors- ville, which occurred a few days later, it was held in readiness for service, and remained for many hours under a heavy artillery fire, but did not become actually engaged. After the battle it recrossed the river with the army, and reoccu- pied its old camp near the Rappahannock until the advance of the army to Gettysburg. In that great conflict the regiment fought with con- spicuous bravery on the 1st and 3d of July, not being called into action but held in reserve during the struggle of the 2d. Its losses in the entire battle were one hundred and forty- one killed and wounded and eighty-four missing (most of whom were made prisoners), a total of two hundred and twenty-five. Among the wounded were Colonel Cummins and Cap- tain Charles R. Evans, of the Union County company, and Lieutenant Andrew G. Tucker, of the same company, the wounds of the colonel and Lieutenant Tucker both proving to be mortal.
During the remainder of the year 1863 the regiment. took part in the general movements of the army (including the advance against the en- emy's strong position at Mine Run), but was not actively engaged in battle. Its winter-quar- ters were made near Culpeper, Va.
On the 4th of May, 1864, it left its winter- quarters and moved across the Rapidan on the
campaign of the Wilderness. At noon on the 5th it became hotly engaged, and fought with determination, holding its ground stubbornly until near night, when it was forced to retire. Its losses were heavy. On the 6th it again saw heavy fighting along the line of the Gordons- ville road. On the 7th it moved to Laurel Hill, and held position there until the 13th, when it moved to Spottsylvania Court-House. There it remained a week, throwing up defenses, and a great part of the time under heavy artillery fire. On the 21st it again moved on, and in its advance southward fought at North Anna, Bethesda Church, and Tolopotomoy, arriving at Cold Harbor on the 6th of June. Moving thence across the Chickahominy to the James, it crossed that river on the 16th and took posi- tion in front of Petersburg. Its first fight there was on the 18th, on which occasion it succeeded in dislodging the enemy in its front, and held the ground thus gained. It took part in two actions on the line of the Weldon Railroad, also in that at Peebles' Farm (September 30th), and others during the operations of the summer and fall. On the 6th of February, 1865, it fought and suffered considerable loss in the action at Dabney's Mills.
