This regiment was organized at Camp Curtin, July 22, 1864. On the day of its organization it moved to Baltimore, and went into camp at Mackin's Woods. September Ist it moved to Camp Carroll, one mile southwest of the city, on the line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Several of the companies were stationed in various parts of the city for provost duty. Details to serve as escorts and guards to rebel prisoners on their way to places of confinement, and for recruits destined for the front, were constantly made as long as the regiment remained in ser- vice. At the expiration of its term the scattered detachments were called in, and it proceeded to Pennsylvania, where on November 6th it was mustered out.
ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEENTH AND ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY- FIRST REGIMENTS, PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS. (THREE
YEARS' SERVICE. )
Upon the muster out of the service of the regiments composing the Reserve Corps, a large number of veterans re-enlisted. These, with re- cruits whose terms had not expired, were organized into two new regi- ments, known as the One Hundred and Ninetieth and the One Hundred and Ninety-first. Of the Middletown volunteers, those in the One Hun- dred and Ninetieth were from the Seventh Reserves; those in the One Hundred and Ninety-first from the Sixth. The last battle in which the Reserves participated was that of Bethesda Church, May 30, 1864. The two new regiments were organized in the field and at once pushed to the front. During the severe fighting at Cold Harbor they were sub- jected to a heavy artillery and musketry fire. At Charles City, on June 13th, they held at bay during the whole day a superior force of the ene- my, and a number in both regiments were killed and wounded. At Petersburg, on the 17th, they captured the entire Thirty-ninth North Carolina Regiment and, though vigorously assailed, held their ground until relieved. Their loss was considerable. Until the morning of the 23rd, the brigade (190th and 19Ist Regts.) was kept on active duty, losing daily in killed and wounded. During the 24th and 25th, sharp- shooting was incessant on the picket line. On the 18th of August the brigade was ordered upon the skirmish line, and actively engaged with-

out supports until 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the 19th, when it was completely surrounded and forced to surrender. The captives were hur- ried away to rebel prison-pens at Richmond, Salisburyt and Danville, and kept in confinement until near the time of Lee's surrender. A small detachment which had been ordered to the rear for provisions and am- munition escaped capture, and this, with men returning from furlough and detached duty, was reorganized under command of Colonel Pattee, and transferred to the Second Division, participating with it in the re- maining hostile operations until the close of the year 1864. March 29, 1865, this detachment was engaged in skirmishing at Gravelly Run, and held its ground to the last, but was finally forced back, losing a number in prisoners ; it re-formed further to the left and regained the ground lost in the morning. During the night it marched with the Fifth Corps to the relief of Sheridan at Five Forks, arriving within supporting distance on the morning of April Ist. Here the command was allowed some rest, of which it was sorely in need. At noon it was ordered forward, was as usual thrown on the skirmish line, and bravely advancing one hun- dred yards in front of the line of battle, led the way in that grand left- wheel around the rebel rear which crushed his entire force at one blow. When the last charge was made the skirmishers awaited the coming of the main Union line, when joining in, they advanced with the column and shared in the glorious triumph, bearing away guns and small arms, and crowds of captive officers and men. From the 2nd to the 9th the pursuit was pushed ; on the morning of the 9th Colonel Pattee was sum- moned to the fort with his command. "At about noon on the 9th," says a member of the command, "we got the order, 'Bucktails to the front,' 'double-quick,' 'march!' and away we went, past our division, past the First Division, past the advance, out into an open space. 'Battalion into line,' 'deploy as skirmishers,' 'forward,' 'double-quick,' 'march !' rang along the lines. The order seems to ring in my ears now. Away we went, Sheridan's cavalry was just coming out as we went in. Soon we got sight of the rebels and they of us. We advanced double-quick, and they fell back double-quicker. They opened on us with a battery from the brow of a hill, first with shells, and as we got closer, with can- ister, and just as we were about charging on the battery-up over the brow of the hill in front came a horseman, then another, and another. The first bore a white flag. 'Cease firing!' 'cease firing!' was the order, and the rider passed down through our line. "They've surrendered,' 'they've surrendered,' was repeated from man to man, until the whole army knew the glad tidings, and cheer after cheer rent the air. The glad hour for which we had been battling for four long years, had come." After the surrender the two regiments returned to the neighborhood of Washington, and went into camp, where, on the 28th of June, they were mustered out of service.
+The prison-pen at Salisbury was simply an open space containing about eight acres, enclosed by a high board fence. Cannon were placed at the corners of the enclosure to overawe the prisoners, and sentinels patrolled constantly around it on

an elevated platform built outside. Although the country surrounding it was well wooded, the rebels refused to allow the prisoners to cut trees and build barracks for themselves, consequently they had no shelter except in such holes as they could dig in the ground with their pocket knives and tin cups. Their rations, at the best, were scanty, and sometimes they were for days together without any. There were about 10,000 prisoners in the enclosure. From exposure and lack of nourishment the mortality soon became fearful, and in January, 1865, reached fifty deaths per day; sickness in nine cases out of ten, meant death. After death, the bodies were stripped of all clothing, except undergarments-loaded in wagons like logs of wood-carried out and buried in trenches. Of the 514 prisoners cap- tured from the two regiments, besides the large number unaccounted for, 144 are known to have perished in this hell, during the five months they were incarcerated there. After their release numbers of the living skeletons died before our lines were reached, and many immediately afterwards.

This regiment organized at Camp Curtin, September 3, 1864. Sep- tember 9th it was ordered to join the Army of the James, and was posted at Dutch Gap. November 23rd it was transferred to the Army of the Potomac, forming part of the First Brigade, Third Division, Ninth Corps, and was stationed near Fort Steadman. When on March 5, 1865, the rebels captured this fort and the batteries to the right and left, the Two Hundredth being the regiment nearest the fort, was ordered to oppose the advance of the enemy. Twice it was compelled to retire, but rallied and reformed, and other troops coming to its support, the entire line dashed resolutely forward. The triumph was complete; Fort Steadman was retaken with all its guns uninjured; the line lost was re- gained, and nearly three thousand prisoners captured. The loss of the regiment in this brief engagement was very severe, being fourteen killed and one hundred and nine wounded. Lieutenant Colonel McCall, who led the regiment, says in his official report: "The officers and men of my command all showed the greatest bravery. General Hartranft, com- mander of the division, in his official report, says: "The Two Hun- dredth Pennsylvania Volunteers deserves particular mention. This regi- ment was put to the severest test, and behaved with the greatest firmness and steadiness. The regiment made two stubborn attacks upon the enemy, and when compelled to retire it fell back in good order."

April 2nd, at 4 a. m., the division was massed and formed for assault, Lieutenant Colonel McCall leading the brigade and Major Rehrer the regiment. The Two Hundredth was held in reserve when the first dash was made, but was ordered to follow almost immediately, and was sub- jected to a destructive fire. Says Major Rehrer in his official report : "The officers and men in my regiment did, in this charge under a heavy fire from the enemy, behave with great gallantry and coolness, at no time showing the least sign of faltering or breaking. At this point of the enemy's works we came in possession of two batteries, each mount- ing three guns. I at once sent to the rear for the artillerists, who were accordingly furnished, and the captured guns turned upon the enemy. These works were held during the entire day by my regiment, and were all the time under a heavy fire of mixed artillery. Three desperate charges were made by the enemy in which they put forth every effort to recapture the forts, but they were each time repulsed speedily and with heavy loss. After darkness had set in, I was ordered to remove the abbatis and chevaux-de-frise formerly used by the enemy and now in our rear, round so as to confront and face the enemy, and I at the same time advanced one hundred men as a picket line. After this period no attempt was made by the enemy to retake the works, and by 10 p. m. firing began to be less rapid. At midnight no firing at all was done, ex- cept now and then a shot from a sharpshooter." At 4 on the following morning, the regiment, with the division, entered the city of Petersburg unopposed, the enemy having withdrawn during the night. The loss in this engagement was two killed, thirty-four wounded and three miss- ing. Major Rehrer was among the wounded, but did not leave the field. The pursuit of the enemy was at once commenced, and continued until the 9th, when the rebel army surrendered.
The regiment went into camp at Nottoway Court House, where it remained until after the surrender of Johnston, when it marched to City Point, and thence proceeded by transport to Alexandria. Here it re- mained until the 30th of May, when the recruits were transferred to the Fifty-first Pennsylvania, and the rest of the regiment was mustered out of service.

In a storm off Hatteras the steamer sprung a leak, the men were put to work with buckets, and man- aged to keep her afloat until, after thirty-six hours of hard work, she was brought into the harbor of Beaufort, N.

rived May Ist. The regiment then went to Barrancas, Fla., where it was charged with garrison duty. During the spring and summer of 1865 the men suffered terribly from scurvy, about one hundred and fifty dying, and as many more being disabled for life. The mortality at one time amounted to from four to six daily. This was the result of want of proper food, but not until the disease had run its course were the ap- peals of its officers for supplies answered. The regiment remained on duty at the forts until December, when it was ordered to Philadelphia, and on the 6th at Camp Cadwallader was mustered out of service.
Speaking of the Twenty-fifth, Colonel Hitchcock says: "I desire to bear testimony to the esprit de corps and general efficiency of the or- ganization as a regiment, to the competency and general good character of its officers, to the soldierly bearing, fidelity to duty and patriotism of its men. Having seen active service in the Army of the Potomac prior to my connection with the Twenty-fifth, I can speak with some degree of assurance."
