CHAPTER VIII MILITARY HISTORY-THE CIVIL WAR-CONTINUED
History of the One Hundred and Fifth Regiment-Roster of Officers and Men-History of the One Hundred and Forty-ninth Regiment, with Roster-In Other Commands-Indc- pendent Battalion.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REGIMENT.
Early in the month of August, 1861, Amor A. McKnight, who had seen service as one of the three months' men, was authorized to raise a regiment for the three years' service. The men enlisted were mainly from what was at that time known as the "Wild Cat" dis- trict, being the congressional district of which this county then formed a part. The sturdy residents responded quickly and nobly to the call, an organization was completed, and field officers elected as follows: Amor A. Mc- Knight, colonel; W. W. Corbett, lieutenant- colonel; M. M. Dick, major. The regiment rendezvoused at Pittsburgh, but were not long permitted to remain there, as, early in Octo- ber. the command was ordered to the front. and in pursuance thereof went to Washington and encamped for a brief time, and then moved to a point about one mile south of Al- exandria, known as Camp Jameson, where they went into winter quarters. Here it was assigned to Jameson's Brigade, which was made up in the main of Pennsylvania troops.
In March following, 1862, they broke camp and were transported to Fortress Monroe, and
immediately participated in the siege of York- town, doing guard duty and suffering only from sickness caused by the unhealthful local- ity in which they were placed. Upon the evacuation of the place by the enemy, they joined in pursuit, and after a hard march through rain and mud reached Williamsburg. The next day, May 4, they were advanced as skirmishers, and planted the colors on the principal fort of the enemy. It was next en- gaged at Fair Oaks, where it got into exceed- ingly close quarters, but through the coolness and efficiency of the officers in command, and the bravery and determined fighting done by the men, it was eventually victorious and es- caped annihilation and capture, but not with- out serious loss and injury to officers and men. The result of this battle to the regiment was forty-one killed, one hundred and fifty wounded, and seventeen missing. Headley, in mentioning the part taken by the One Hundred and Fifth during the battle of Fair Oaks, says : "Napoleon's veterans never stood firmer dur- ing a devastating fire." On the 26th and 27th of June following the regiment was again en- gaged at the battles of Mechanicsville and Gaines's Mill, but met with no serious loss.

After this the army fell back and began a re- treat to the James River, and Jameson's Bri- gade was placed under command of General Robinson. During this retreat, in which the Federal forces were hard pressed by the Con- federates, the regiment was constantly under orders and frequently exposed to the enemy's fire. On the 30th, at Charles City Cross Roads, it had a sharp engagement with the rebels in repelling an attempt on the part of the latter to capture a battery, in which the regiment lost fifty men in killed and wounded. At Malvern Hill, the next day, it was under a heavy artillery fire, but not closely engaged. At the close of the campaign on the Peninsula, the regiment was assigned to duty in guarding the railroad between Manasas and Warren- town Junction. At the Second Bull Run it was again hotly engaged and its ranks fear- fully decimated by being in an open position and exposed to the deadly fire of the enemy. but nevertheless held firmly to its place in sup- port of a battery. At sundown it was re- lieved and placed on picket duty until nearly midnight, and then moved to Centreville, where it lay until the 31st. General Kearney, in his report of the Second Bull Run fight, says: "The One Hundred and Fifth Penn- sylvania Volunteers were not wanting. They are Pennsylvanians-mountain men-again have they been fearfully decimated. The des- perate charge of these regiments sustains the past history of this division."
The regiment was, at the close of Pope's campaign, ordered into the defenses of Wash- ington, and remained there until after the bat- tle of Antietam. On the 28th of October fol- lowing it moved to White's Ford, crossed the Potomac and proceeded to the Ball's Bluff bat- tle ground, where for several days it was en-
gaged in scouting expeditions in the vicinity of Leesburg and Millville. With the main army it then advanced to the Rappahannock, and on the 24th of November reached Falmouth. On the 13th of December it crossed the river, and at a double quick went to the relief of the Pennsylvania Reserves, who were hotly en- gaged and hard pressed, and took a position in the rear of Randolph's battery. At dusk it advanced and lay upon their arms in front of the battery for a space of thirty-six hours, within the reach of, but concealed from the rebel sharpshooters, but was then relieved and returned to camp across the river. From this time until the latter part of January, 1863, the regiment remained in camp, and were then or- dered to move, but owing to the impassable condition of the roads, were compelled to return.
