TWO HUNDRED AND TENTH REGIMENT.


The Two Hundred and Tenth Regiment (one year's service) was recruited in the summer and fall of 1864, and was organized at Camp Curtin on the 2.4th of September in that year, with Colonel William Sergeant as commanding officer, and having as its licu- tenant-colonel Edward L. Witman, previously captain of Company D of the Forty-sixth Pennsylvania. Immediately after its organiza- tion the regiment moved to the front of Peters- burg, where it was assigned to duty in the Third Brigade of the Second Division, Fifth Army Corps. Its first engagement was at Hatcher's Run, October. 27th and 28th, where its loss was but slight. Early in December it moved with the Fifth Corps on an expedition having for its purpose the destruction of the Weldon Railroad and the Confederate stores gathered along the route, which duty was successfully performed for a distance of many miles along the line. On the 5th and 6th of February, 1865, it fought at Dabney's Mills, behaving with marked steadiness and gallantry, and losing severely in killed, wounded and missing. Again, in the battle at Gravelly Run, March 30th and 31st, it fought bravely, and suffered a loss of one hundred and fifty killed and wounded, and an equal number missing-many of them taken prisoners. From that time, during the ten days that intervened before the struggle was closed by the surrender of General Lee's army, it was continually at the front, taking part in the fighting of the 1st of April, and in subsequent engagements to and including the closing scene at Appomattox on the 9th. After the surrender it moved to Washington, D. C., where it took part in the great review of the armies in May, and was mustered out on the 30th of that month. Companies H and I were largely composed of Mifflin County men, with detach- ments from the contiguous territory.

TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTH REGIMENT.


The Two Hundred and Thirteenth Regiment (one year's service), was organized March 2, 1865, under command of Colonel Jolm A. Gor- gas. During the less than forty days which elapsed between its organization and the close of the war by the surrender at Appomattox, it was on duty guarding the prisoner's camp in Maryland, known as "Camp Parole," and (a part of the command) was posted at Frederick City, Md., guarding the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. After the surrender of the Confederate army and consequent close of the war, the regiment was placed on the north line of the Washington defenses, and there remained until the 18th of November, when it was mus- tered out of the service. A large detachment of Juniata County men enlisted, and served in this regiment in Company G., commanded by Captain William Babe. These men were all mustered out with their company November 18, 1865.

JUNIATA AND SUSQUEHANNA VALLEYS IN PENNSYLVANIA.


swelled by contributions of men and officers (very many of them veterans who had previously served out a term of enlistment) from each of the five counties of Mifflin, Union, Juniata, Perry and Snyder. In the Third Regiment of 1862 were two companies (B and C) from Union County, and Company E, same regi- ment, was of Juniata County men, commanded by Captain Erasmus D. Crawford. To the Fourth Regiment, called out at the same time, Mifflin County contributed Company A, from Lewistown and Company C, from McVey- town. In the Sixth Regiment were two Perry County companies, D and I. Of the Eighteenth Militia Regiment in the "Shade Gap and Mount Union campaign" of 1862, Company I was taken out from Juniata County by Dr. S. B. Crawford as captain, who, being promoted to the lieutenant-coloneley of the regiment, was succeeded in the company com- manded by William C. Laird ; and Company K of the same regiment was also of Juniata men, commanded by Captain John Deitrick ; while Companies D and E, commanded re- spectively by Captain A. C. Simpson and Cap- tain Simon P. Wolverton, were made up of men of Snyder and Mifflin Counties. A cavalry com- pany of Mifflin County was organized Septem- ber 15, 1862, under : Captain, William Mann, Jr. ; First Lieutenant, Thomas Reed ; Second Lieutenant, John Hays, Jr. ; with Sergeants . Howard MeFarland, Edward Locke, Reynolds McDonald, John Montgomery ; Corporals Michael Buoy, Robert Roenig, Henry Taylor, William Wills; Privates, Elijah Burns, James A. Carson, Thomas Ellis, Michael Gar- vin, Andrew Taylor, John Garver, George Houser, Davis Henry, William Irvin, John Kerr, James Kyle, Jacob Kohler, John Langton, Luther Longwell, Joseph Latchford, John W. Lchr, Edward Moore, James May- born, Samuel MeDowell, James McFarland, Edward McBride, James IT. McClenchan, Samuel MeNitt, Howard MeDowell, A. J. Pat- terson, James J. Pelters, James W. Sterrett, John D. Snook, Samuel Shunk, Frederick Schaaf, Jacob Swabt and Isaac Strunk,-but, like many other independent companies organ- ized at the time, was discharged after about


twenty days, without having been called on for service.


Of the ninety-day militia of 1863, the Thirty- sixth Regiment contained Companies A and II, of Mifflin County men; B and I were from Perry County ; Company D was composed of Juniata County soldiers, under Captain Lewis Degen. The Thirtieth Regiment Emergency Troops of 1863 embraced one company (1) from Snyder County, under Captain A. C. Simp- son. Of the Twenty-eighth Regiment Emer- gency Troops of 1863, the colonel, lieutenant- colonel and nearly the entire staff were from Union County, while three of its companies were chiefly composed of Union and Snyder County men, for which reason, lists of them are given here, which has not been done in the cases of the militia and Emergency Troops be- fore mentioned, whose existence did not extend more than about fifteen days at the most from organization to discharge, and who had no op- portunity to show their fighting qualities in the field, though their patriotism was fully shown by their promptness in organizing and holding themselves ready to meet the invader. Follow- ing are the lists referred to of the Twenty- eighth :
