The small remnant of a company kept up an organization under Sergeant Cunningham, and on the 27th of October were heavily engaged at Burgess's Mill. Here from the few men left Daniel E. Bessie and Charles Danforth were killed, and Volney W. Jenks and Jay S. Percy wounded and left on the field. Again on the Ist of November the little squad were in action and Friend Weeks was mortally wounded.
December 23 the remaining men were transferred to Company E, of the Second Sharpshooters, and Company F had ceased to exist as an organization. With Company E the transferred men participated in the Hatcher's Run en- gagement December 15. February 25 the consolidated battalion of sharp- shooters was broken up and the Vermonters assigned to Company G, Fourth Vermont Volunteers, where they served to the close of the war.
Of Company F thirty-two of its original members died from wounds received in action, of whom twenty-one were killed on the field. Its record is a most honorable one.
First Vermont Cavalry. - About one hundred and seventy men from Rut- land county joined this organization, distributed among the towns about as follows : Benson, 6; Brandon, 2; Castleton, 19; Chittenden, 10; Clarendon, 10; Danby, 6; Fairhaven, 5 ; Ira, 2 ; Mendon, 2; Mount Tabor, I ; Pawlet, 6; Pittsford, 3 ; Poultney, 9; Rutland, 61; Shrewsbury, 2; Tinmouth, 5 ; Wallingford, 14; Wells, 4; Westhaven, I.
The regiment was mustered into the service November 19, 1861, for three years. The original members, not veterans, were mustered out November 18, 1864. The recruits for one year and recruits whose term of service would ex- pire previous to October 1, 1865, were mustered out June 21, 1865. The remaining officers and men were then consolidated into a battalion of six com- panies, which was mustered out August 9, 1865.

To attempt to give a history, however brief, in these pages of the extended career of this organization is utterly impossible. The history of cavalry regi- ments is always replete with stirring incidents - rapid marches, fearless and brilliant charges, and desperate hand-to-hand encounters, the details of which, while often of paramount interest, require ample space for their proper descrip- tion. We are, therefore, forced to confine ourselves here to mere statistics. The long list of engagements in which the First Cavalry shared honorable and often the most important part, tells the brief story of what they did and en- dured. Beginning with Mount Jackson, they served in engagements of more or less importance at Port Republic, April 27, 1862 ; Middletown, May 24, 1862 ; Winchester, May 25, 1862; Luray Court-House, July 2, 1862 ; Cul- pepper Court-House, July 10, 1862 ; Orange Court-House, August 2, 1862 ; Kelley's Ford, August 20, 1862 ; Waterloo Bridge, August 22, 1862 ; Bull Run, August 30, 1862 ; Ashby's Gap, September, 1862 ; Broad Run, April I, 1863; Greenwich, May 30, 1863; Hanover, Pa., June 30, 1863 ; Huntersville, Pa., July 2, 1863 ; Gettysburg, July 3, 1863 ; Monterey, July 4, 1863 ; Light- ersville, Md., July 5, 1863 ; Hagerstown, Md., July 6, 1863 ; Boonesborough, Md., July 8, 1863 ; Hagerstown, July 13, 1863 ; Falling Waters, July 14, 1863;

The total losses in this regiment during the term of service embracing the above list of actions was three hundred and ninety-seven by death; sixty-three of these were killed in action. No other cavalry regiment bears a better rec- ord than the First Vermont.
Ths Nine-Months Men .- Under the call of the president for 300,000 nine- months volunteers, made August 4, 1862, five regiments were recruited in the State. In two of these, the Twelfth and Fourteenth, were companies of Rut- land men. In the Twelfth we have already given the enlistment of the Rut- land Light Guard, as Company K. Of this regiment the colonel was Asa P. Blunt, of St. Johnsbury ; lieutenant-colonel, Roswell Farnham, of Bradford ; major, Levi G. Kingsley, of Rutland; the subsequent promotions of these offi- cers will be found in the closing pages of this chapter.
Of the Fourteenth Regiment four companies were recruited in this county - Company B, Captain John C. Thompson, Wallingford ; Company F, Castleton, Captain Joseph Jennings, : Company H, Rutland, Captain Walter C. Dunton ; Company K, Danby, Captain Alonzo N. Colvin. The colonel was Wm. T. Nichols, of Rutland ; lieutenant-colonel, Charles W. Rose, of Middlebury ; major, Nathaniel B. Hall, Bennington ; adjutant, Harrison Prindle, Manches- ter ; quartermaster, Charles Field, Dorset ; surgeons, Edwin H. Sprague, Mid-

dlebury, and Adrian T. Woodward, Brandon; assistant surgeon, L. C. Ross, Poultney ; chaplain, Wm. S. Smart, Benson. The subsequent promotions of these officers, as far as they belonged to this county, are given in the closing pages of this chapter.
The following statement shows the distribution of the Rutland county vol- unteers in this regiment among the various towns: Benson, Co. D, 22. Cas- tleton, Co. F, 34. Chittenden, Co. H, 10. Clarendon, Co. B, 9. Danby, Co .. B, 20; Co. K, 5. Fairhaven, Co. F, 28. Hubbardton, Co. F, 12; Co. D, I .. Ira, Co. H, 7. Mendon, Co. H, 2. Middletown, Co. B, 7. Mount Holly,. Co. H, II; Co. B. I.

Tinmouth, Co. B, 4. Wallingford, Co. B, 15 ; Co. K, 3 ; Co. H. I. Wells, Co. K, II. Westhaven, Co. F, 7; Co. D, 4.
Wheelock G. Veazey was appointed colonel of the Sixteenth Regiment, and Redfield Proctor of the Fifteenth, recruited under this call. The regiments as. fast as recruited went into camp at Brattleboro, the Twelfth on September 25 ;. the Thirteenth, September 29; the Fourteenth, October 6; the Fifteenth, Oc- tober 8 ; the Sixteenth, October 9. They were brigaded together as the Sec- ond Brigade and placed under command of Brigadier-General Edwin H. Stoughton. He was subsequently captured, when the command was for a time assumed by Colonel Asa P. Blunt, of the Twelfth Regiment. In April, 1863, Brigadier-General George J. Stannard was assigned to the command until the expiration of the term of service.
Until June, 1863, the brigade was stationed in front of Washington, the various regiments being located in the vicinity of Fairfax and Wolf Run Shoals, and engaged principally in picket duty. On the 25th of June the brig- ade left the line of works, under orders to report to Major-General Reynolds, commanding the First Corps. On the evening of July I the brigade joined that corps at Gettysburg, after an exhausting march of seven days, during which they made more than one hundred and twenty-five miles. The Twelfth and Fifteenth Regiments were ordered to the rear to protect wagon trains and did not participate in the battles of the Second and Third, although the Fif- teenth, under Colonel Proctor, was advanced towards the front after the first order to the rear ; to the Twelfth and Fifteenth the order was given that the regiment numbering the most men should go to the front, and the Fifteenth slightly out-counted the Twelfth, but the service of the latter proved fully as important as that of the other ; the Fifteenth being again sent to the rear the next day. On the evening of the 2d of July the remaining regiments of the brigade were moved to the front line, to fill the place of troops that had been shattered by the onslaughts of the enemy. To give the reader an idea of the very important and gallant service of this brigade in the Gettysburg battle of
125
RUTLAND COUNTY IN THE REBELLION.
the 3d we cannot do better than reproduce a portion of the official report of General Stannard, as follows : -
" Before reaching the ground, the Twelfth and Fifteenth Regiments were detached by order of General Reynolds as a guard to the corps wagon train in the rear. The Fifteenth rejoined the brigade next morning, but was again ordered back for the same duty about noon of that day. After the opening of the battle of the 2d the left wing of the Thirteenth Regiment, under Lieu- tenant-Colonel Munson, was ordered forward as support to the skirmishers in our front. While stationing them Captain A. G. Foster, assistant-inspector- general of my staff, was seriously wounded by a ball through both legs, de- priving me of his valuable services for the remainder of the battle. Just before dark of the same day, our army line on the left of the center having become broken, under a desperate charge of the enemy, my brigade was or- dered up. The right wing of the Thirteenth Regiment, under command of Colonel Randall, was in advance and upon reaching the breach in the line was granted by General Hancock, commanding upon the spot, the privilege of mak- ing effort to retake the guns of Company C, Regular Battery, which had just been captured by the enemy.
"This they performed in a gallant charge, in which Colonel Randall's horse was shot under him. Four guns of the battery were retaken, and two rebel field pieces, with about eighty prisoners, were captured by five companies of the Thirteenth in this single charge. The front line thus re-established, was held by this brigade for twenty-six hours. About two o'clock of the 3d in- stant the enemy commenced a vigorous attack upon our position. After sub- jecting us for an hour and a half to the severest cannonade of the whole battle from nearly one hundred guns, the enemy charged with a heavy column of in- fantry. The charge was aimed directly upon my command, but owing appar- ently to the firm front shown them, the enemy diverged midway and came upon the line on my right. But they did not thus escape the warm reception prepared for them by the Vermonters. As soon as the change of the point of attack became evident, I ordered a flank attack upon the enemy's column. Forming in the open meadow in front of our line, the Thirteenth and Sixteenth Regiments marched down in column by the flank, changed front forward at right angle to the main line of battle of the army, bringing them in line of bat- tle upon the flank of the charging column of the enemy, and opened a destruc- tive fire at short range, which the enemy sustained but a very few minutes be- fore the larger portion of them surrendered and marched in, not as conquerors, but as captives. They had hardly dropped their arms before another rebel column appeared charging upon our left. Colonel Veazey, of the Sixteenth, was at once ordered back to take it in its turn upon the flank. This was done as successfully as before. The rebel force, already decimated by the fire of the Fourteenth Regiment, was scooped almost en masse into our lines. The Six-

teenth took in this charge the regimental colors of the Second Florida and Eighth Virginia Regiments, and the battle-flag of another rebel regiment.
"The Sixteenth was supported for a time, in the now advanced position it occupied after the charge, by four companies of the Fourteenth under com- mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Rose.
" The movements I have briefly described were executed in the open field under a heavy fire of shell, grape and musketry, and they were performed with the promptness and precision of battalion drill. They ended the contest on the center and substantially closed the battle.
"Officers and men behaved like veterans, although it was for most of them their first battle, and I am content to leave it to the witnesses of the fight whether or no they sustained the credit of the service and the honor of our Green Mountain State. "
Little need be added of the brilliant part taken by this brigade in that memorable battle. It is still characterized as a most important feature of the engagement, particularly the action of the Sixteenth Regiment under Colonel Veazey. The total killed in the brigade was reported as thirty-nine, and wounded two hundred and forty-eight ; of these the Fourteenth Regiment lost seventeen killed and sixty-eight wounded.
The terms of service of the regiments in this brigade soon expired and they were mustered out, the Twelfth on the 14th of July; the Thirteenth, July 21 ; the Fourteenth, July 30; the Fifteenth, Angust 5 ; and the Sixteenth, Au- gust 10.
Second Battery Light Artillery. - This account would be scarcely complete without some honorable mention of this organization. The battery was mus- tered into the service December 16 and 24, 1861, for three years. The origi- nal members not veterans were mustered ont September 20, 1864; the excess of recruits being then organized as the first company of Heavy Artillery, Ver- mont Volunteers, March 1, 1865. This battery was mustered out July 31, 1865. In the battery were about eighty-seven men from Rutland county, distributed among the towns about as follows : Benson, I ; Brandon, 34; Cas- tleton, 7; Chittenden 1 ; Clarendon, I; Hubbardton, 11; Ira, I; Pittsford, I ; Poultney, 6; Rutland, 9; Sudbury, 13; Wallingford, I.
The officers in the battery from Rutland county were John W. Chase, of Brandon, who went out as second lieutenant and was promoted first lieutenant November 1, 1862.
John A. Quilty, second lieutenant, also of Brandon ; resigned August 26, 1862.
Henry F. Tower, of Ira, went out as a private; was made corporal March 28, 1864; and quartermaster-sergeant September 1, 1864.
The battery left the State for New Orleans on the 6th of February, 1862. Its entire operations were confined to the Department of the Gulf, of which we
127

have but meagre details. In March, 1863, they were at Baton Rouge, and during the latter part of the same year and down to the time of their muster out, they were established at Port Hudson, in the siege of which position they did honorable and valuable service. The losses of the battery were fifty-four total by death, forty-seven of whom died from disease. After the muster out of the original members the battery was largely reinforced, and thus retained its organization.
The battery was mustered out at Burlington on the 3Ist of July, 1865.
To conclude this necessarily brief record of the immense services of the men of Rutland county in suppressing the most gigantic rebellion the world has ever known, it should be stated that many recruits from this county and vicin- ity were enlisted in other organizations, the records of which it cannot be ex- pected we should follow in these pages; their history will be properly traced by abler hands in other volumes
In order that the individual promotions of Rutland county men whose deeds brought them commissions as officers may be understood by the reader, we give space to the following roster. In the absence of more detailed per- sonal sketches, for which space in these pages cannot be allowed, the record will be of great value. It should also be remembered that complete rolls of enlisted men in the various towns in the county will be found in the histories of the towns in later pages of this work. They are placed in that position in order to render each of the town histories complete in itself, and in connection with this chapter, form a very perfect military record of the county : -
