Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania Regiment.
Seventy-seventh losing from this cause, while at New Orleans, about forty of its men, who preferred this manner of avoid- ing the trip to Texas.
The right wing of the regiment under Lieutenant Colonel Robinson left camp at New Orleans on July fourteenth, passed out into the Gulf of Mexico, and arrived at Metagorda Island on the following day. Here lighters had to be waited for to take the troops over the bar and up to Indianola. The sea was very rough, and the tossing of the anchored boats made most of the men sea sick. These conditions continued until the twenty-first when the regiment was taken up the bay to Indianola. It marched to Greenlake on the night of the twenty-sixth, arriving there at daybreak the next morn- ing. Here the water was said to be better and the location more healthy, but there was much sickness among the men as the climate, low swampy ground and bad water caused many fevers. Death visited this camp almost daily.
On August eighth the regiment left camp and marched to Victoria. Next morning it marched about four miles north of that town, and there established Camp Stanley, where it was joined by the left wing of the regiment which arrived from New Orleans on September second. In October and November the regiment was doing provost duty in Victoria, and anxiously awaiting the arrival of orders to be mustered out of the service. The muster rolls were finally completed and signed on December fiftlı, 1865, and on the sixth the regi- ment left Victoria, arriving at Powder Horn on the seventh. There it waited for transports until the twenty-fourth, when the men were again afloat on steamers, out on the gulf, and this time, homeward bound.
.
While in Texas the regiment suffered more from sickness and resulting deatlı, than it did in any other year of the war.
The regiment left fifty-eight of its men buried in New Or- leans and in Texas, all of whom had fallen victims to un- healthy camp grounds, bad water, and an inhospitable cli- mate. Nothing of particular interest transpired on the home- ward trip. The men were then all in good spirits and re- joicing at the prospect of soon again being home with their friends and loved ones. Many of them had been in service more than four years, during which they had been home only

once-on "Veteran Furlough"-It surely was a time for re- joicing. They had marched more than 3,500 miles* through wind and rain, in winter and summer.
During its whole term of service the regiment had always been at the front. It was never assigned to post duty, nor was it ever left behind to guard railroads in the rear. Its record as a regiment was made. The war was over, and the Rebellion crushed. The Confederates had surrendered and were home on parole, never to take up arms again against the flag, and the men of the Seventy-seventh were ready to drop sword and gun, and again take up their various avoca- tions where they had left off in 1861.
Why should they not rejoice? A happier body of men than the veteran survivors of the Seventy-seventh Regiment Penn- sylvania Volunteers, homeward bound after more than four years of service, has never been seen. Singing, speechmaking and story-telling, recalling the interesting and funny inci- dents of battle, camp life and campaign filled up the time on the steamer, as it made its way up the Mississippi river.
The regiment arrived at Cairo, Illinois, about the fifth of January, 1866, where a train of cars was waiting. Upon it men and baggage were put, and started for the north. Passing through Cincinnati and Pittsburg they arrived at Philadelphia at four o'clock on the morning of January sev- enth, which was cold and frosty. The regiment then marched to Camp Cadwallader, which was a dreary, cheerless place, without fires or shelter.
The Seventy-seventh was the last Pennsylvania regiment in the field, it had apparently been forgotten .. Its arrival was not expected. The officers said they had not been notified of its coming, and, therefore, no preparations had been made for its reception. But the men cared little for discomfort, having become accustomed to it. They soon built fires and made coffee, singing songs and telling stories while waiting for the other wing of the regiment, which had not yet arrived. In a day or two they came, and in a few hours more were ready for the final and most pleasing act in their eventful career, the Paymaster having arrived in camp when, on the sixteenth of January, 1866, the men were paid off and finally

discharged from the service. Then they wended their various ways and homeward.
Thus ended their services in the army, leaving the memory of many pleasant features connected with those years of hardship and danger, and having created and cemented friend- ships never to be forgotten, while life endures.
It was the fortune of the Seventy-seventh to be always where the hardest work was to be done, and it was always done and well done by them. It came from different parts of the state, but was one on the battlefield, and on the march. A better or a braver body of men the war did not bring out. They were always ready, seldom grumbling- always happy when on the march or on duty in camp. It had very few skulkers. The men cracked jokes when in the great- est danger, and made merry when the shells were flying thick- est. The wounded, sick or dying comrade was always ten- derly cared for, and the men were always ready to divide with a more necdy comrade, however meagre their own might. be
War has its sad and its bright features and the contrasts some times come thick and fast, but the volunteer soldiers, in camp, on the march or in battle, generally managed to make the bright side predominate. and it was well that they could do so. Otherwise it would have been much harder to keep up good discipline among the men, and their army life would have been all dark and sad.

REGIMENTAL ROSTER.
T r THE following, although a very decided improvement on any Roster heretofore published of the Seventy-seventh Regiment of Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers, is not up to the high standard which we had hoped to attain.
Every available source of information was diligently fol- lowed up, all errors, omissions and inaccuracies found, were corrected, and the whole Roster arranged in strict alphabeti- cal order.
Men, not otherwise accounted for, were present with the regiment at the time of its muster out and discharged from the United States service. Those, known to have been honora bly discharged, but where the date of such discharge is not de- finitely known, are marked under the head of "Remarks," with the single word "Discharged." There yet remain a large number of names of men on this list, notably in Com- panies D, F, old Company H, and a considerable number of men not attached to any company, the date of whose muster into the service is herein given, but the time and manner of the termination of their services could not be ascertained.
