ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THIRD REGI-
WENT.
The One Hundred and Seventy-third Regi-
ment (nine months' drafted militia) was organ- ized at Camp Curtin in the fall of 1862 under command of Colonel Daniel Nagle, of Schuyl- kill County. On the last of November it left Harrisburg and proceeded to Norfolk, Va., where, and in that vicinity, its several compa- nies were employed on guard duty at various points until May, 1863, and from that time the entire regiment was on provost duty at Norfolk until July 9th, when it moved, by way of Washington, D. C., to Maryland for the pur- pose of taking part in the pursuit of the Con- federate army, which was then retreating from Gettysburg towards Virginia. The regiment con- tinued in this duty and in guarding the Orange and Alexandria Railroad (but without being brought into actual battle) until the 13th of August, when it moved to the rear under orders to proceed to Harrisburg, where, on the 17th and 18th of the same month, it was mustered out of service.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FIRST REGIMENT.
The One Hundred and Eighty-first Regi- ment, otherwise designated as the Twentieth Pennsylvania Cavalry (six months' service), was recruited in the summer of 1863, and organ- ized at Camp Couch, near Harrisburg, under command of Colonel John E. Wyncoop. One company (E), commanded by Captain Joseph T. Rothrock, contained a large number of men
of Mifflin County, and soldiers of Perry, Un- ion and Snyder Counties also served in the or- ganization. The regiment left Harrisburg in July and procceded to Maryland, where it per- formed a great amount of duty in marching and assisting in the movement of trains, and later (in August), the companies were stationed at various points-D and E being posted at Bloomery Gap. In September the seven com- panies on active service' were concentrated at headquarters, and engaged in scouting and picket duty, but were not called on to take part in actual battle until late in November, when two of the companies encountered and defeated a part of Imboden's command, defeating it and taking a number of prisoners and a piece of artillery. On the 24th of December the com- mand was ordered from Springfield to Harris- burg, where (the time of the six months' men having expired) it was mustered out of service on the 7th of January, 1864, after which a reorganization for the three years' service was effected, under the same commanding officer, and the same designated number for the new regiment.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOURTIL REGI-
MENT.
The One Hundred and Eighty-fourth Regi- ment was chiefly' recruited in the spring of 1864, and organized at Camp Curtin, whence it moved, May 14th, under command of Major Charles Klockner, of Union County, to join the Army of the Potomac, which was then fighting its way southward in the Wilderness campaign. Arriving on the army line, the regiment was at once placed in action at the battle of Tolopoto- moy Creek, May 29th, and was on the skirmish
! Seven companies of the regiment were recruited early in the spring of 1861; the others were organized later and joined in the field.
line from that place to Cold Harbor, where, in the battle of the 3d of June, it took a leading part in two desperate assaults on the enemy's entrenchments, losing one hundred and eighty officers and men killed and wounded. From that time it remained constantly on the front line until the 18th, when it moved with the army to the James River, and, crossing to the south side, advanced to the front of Petersburg, where, on the 16th, 17th and 18th, it joined in repeated assaults on the fortified line, losing heavily in each day. Again, on the 22d, the at- tack was renewed, and in the conflict this regi- ment suffered a loss of fifty-one killed and wounded and one hundred and sixteen taken prisoners.
Among the latter were four captains, viz. : Evans, Haines, Huff and MeKeage, and four lieutenants, viz .: Rahn, Stover, Bryan and Muffly-the last-named being the adjutant. During the twenty-five days that the regiment had been on duty from the time of its joining the army at Tolopotomoy, it had lost three hundred and fifty (including twelve officers) in killed, wounded and prisoners. Of the latter, more than ninety died at Andersonville, Salis- bury and Florence, and a number of those whos? wounds prevented their being taken to the prison- pens in the South died in Petersburg.
After the battles mentioned the remnant of the regiment took part, in July and August, in two expeditions to Deep Bottom, Va., and in the fighting which resulted on both occasions, losing twenty-seven in killed and wounded, out of a total strength of less than one hundred. On the 25th of August the regiment fought at Ream's Station, where Lieutenant-Colonel Kleckner was severely wounded. Afterwards it fought at Hatcher's Run (October 27th), los- ing fifteen killed and wounded, and at the same place, on the 6th of February, was again en- gaged. On the opening of the spring campaign it participated actively in the movements and fighting from April 1st to the surrender at Ap- pomattox. It then marched to Washington and took part in the great review of the three armies in May, and on the 2d of June and 14th of July was mustered out of service.
