" While we point in sorrow to the long lists of the dead, we mourn with a pride which only such a record can inspire-such a record of heroism, where fire- eighths of the soldiers sent from a community are killed and wounded. But not only in bravery and heroic fighting is the record of these soldiers un- equaled, but also in point of health and endurance. The grand record of casualties in the United States Volunteers during the war shows that double the number of soldiers died of disease that were killed in battle. The record contained in this volume shows that three times as many of the Carbon County .
Volunteers were killed in battle as died of disease. We give the record of officers, as follows :
"One brevet brigadier-general.
" Three colonels, of whom one was killed.
"One brevet colonel, who was wounded.
"Three lieutenant-colonels, of whom one was killed and one wounded.
" Three majors, of whom one was killed and one wounded.
"Twenty-eight captains, of whom five were killed, one died, and sixteen wounded.
"Thirty-nine lieutenants, of whom seven were killed and twenty wounded, making a total of seventy- eight officers furnished by Carbon County. Of this number fifteen were killed, one died of disease, and thirty-nine wounded.
"But it is not only the record of the officers that presents such unmistakable evidence of bravery and endurance. The men who filled the ranks have a record equally grand; and it will stand for all time to come as a noble monument to the patriotism of little Carbon. While the remains of the loved ones rest peacefully in the dust of the battle-fields of the South ; while we mourn the loss of so many of the noblest youths of our county; while fathers and mothers cherish the memory of patriotic sons, and widows and orphans that of husbands and fathers, we have the one proud consciousness that during a period of dan- ger such as few nations have ever experienced we were true to the legacy intrusted to us by the founders of this great nation. The people of Carbon County have the consciousness that during the slaveholders' rebellion they discharged their whole duty.
" Native and foreign alike served with honor and distinction, and it is but just to say of the German, Irish, and Welsh, who form so large a proportion of the population of Carbon, that they came up nobly to the defense of their adopted country, and the list of deaths on many a battle-field attest the gallantry of the foreign portion of Carbon County volunteers,"
Sixth Regiment P. V. I. (Three Months' Men) .- This regiment was commanded by Col. James Nagel, of Pottsville, and attached to Gen.

The first action in which the company participated was the skirmish at Falling Waters, carly in 1861. The first severe action was the battle of Dranesville, Dec. 20, 1861. Subsequently the company fought in the Seven Days' battle on the Peninsula, in the battles of Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chan- cellorsville, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness, and all through the long struggle to the front of Petersburg and Richmond in 1864.
