Its organization took place September 25th, 1861, with B.C. Christ, of this county, colonel; and on the 2nd day of October it went to Washington, and thence on the 9th to Annapolis. On the 19th it sailed on transports for the Caroli- nas. On the night of November 1st a gale was encountered off Cape Hatteras, in which one of the vessels was only saved from loss by the efforts of the soldiers, after the masts had been cut away, everything thrown overboard, and she had been abandoned by the crew. The regiment first encamped near Hilton Head, but on the 6th of December it went to Beaufort, where on the night after its arrival it had its first fight with the rebels whom it drove from the island. On the 1st of January 1862, it was engaged in force for the first time at the battle of Coosaw, where a rebel fort was destroyed. In the demonstration on Charleston, in May, 1862, Colonel Christ, with his regiment and some other troops, went to Pocota- ligo to burn the railroad bridge there. The only access to the place was over a narrow causeway, through a marsh, and a bridge from which the plank had been removed. Captain Parker of this regiment volunteered to lead his men across on the "stringers" of the bridge, which he did, though the feat cost him his life, for "he fell pierced by three bullets while cheering his men on the perilous passage." although the bridge was not burned, a large force was drawn from Charleston, against which General Hunter was then operating. In July the regiment was ordered to Fortress Monroe, and thence to the support of General Pope in Virginia. It was en- gaged two days at the second Bull Run battle, and lost heavily, but it drove the enemy in every encounter. The regiment with its brigade was severely shelled near Centerville, and was sharply engaged at the battle of Chantilly. It was again engaged at South Mountain September 14th, and at Antietam on the 17th. At Fredericksburg it was not actively engaged, though it witnessed the battle. After General Burnside was superseded in Virginia, the 50th went west and took part in the siege of Vicksburg, and after the fall of that place was with General Sherman in his campaign to Jackson. In the action at that place Lieutenant-Colonel Bren- holtz, in command of the 50th, was killed. On the 10th of August the 50th returned to Kentucky and thence to Knoxville. Its force was then reduced to eighty men, nearly all of whom were suffering from malarial disease. The rest were in hospitals. In October it was sent with its corps to repel an invasion of East Tennessee. It was in action, but its loss was not great. Soon after its return it went to aid in checking the advance of Longstreet from Chattanooga, but was compelled to fall back. It was engaged at Campbell's station, where the enemy was held in check for a time. On the 29th of November it assisted in the defense of Saunders, and skirmished with the rear of the enemy after the siege was raised, camping at Blaine's cross-roads. At this place almost the entire regiment, on the 1st of January, 1864, re-enlisted and was ordered to Nicholasville, a distance of 200 miles, which it accomplished in ten days. The sufferings of the men on this march were almost incredi- ble. On their arrival they received their veteran furlough. On the 20th of March they went to Annapolis, where their numbers were recruited, and on the 5th of May reached the field at the Wilderness, where they were engaged, losing seventeen killed and fifty-three wounded and missing. They were again engaged at Spottsylvania court-house, where they charged with their brigade and carried the heights, with a loss in killed, wounded and missing of 120 men. They were again engaged on the 12th, and daily for some days afterward. For more than a month from the 21st of June the regiment was engaged in picket duty before Petersburg. It was ordered to the mine on the 29th of July to support the assaulting troops, but with them was forced back. On the 19th of August it went to the Weldon Railroad, where it was attacked and lost some in killed and wounded. It was actively engaged at the front till the month of October, when 147 recruits were received and it went into camp for two weeks for drill. During the month of November it went into winter quarters, where it remained till the next spring. It was engaged in the operations of the army early in April, 1865, and was among the first regiments that reached Petersburg on its fall. It participated in the ceremony of laying the corner-stone of the national monument at Gettysburg, and in due time was mustered out of the service.

FIFTY-SECOND REGIMENT. About fifty citizens of Schuylkill county were members of this regiment, which was organized in October, 1861. The present chief magistrate of the State was the lieutenant colonel of this regiment at its organization. It spend the winter of 1861-62 in camp at Washington, perfecting itself in drill and discipline. On the 28th of March, 1862, it left camp and went by transport to Newport News. It was one of the first regiments to enter York- town after its evacuation by the rebels. It went forward with the army and was engaged at Fair Oaks and Seven Pines. During the remaining operations on the Chicka- hominy it was constantly on active duty, and did efficient serv- ice. During the latter part of the summer and the autumn of 1862, the 52nd occupied the fortifications of Yorktown, and drilled as heavy artillery. In December the regiment went south, and in the latter part of January, 1863, went to Port Royal. Thence in April it moved up the North Edisto, but after some perils at sea it landed at Beaufort. July 9th, with other troops, it went up Stone river to make a diversion in favor of General Gilmore, who was preparing for the bombardment of Morris Island. Thence after some skir- mishing it went to Folly Island, and was engaged in the long siege of Fort Wagner. In December a large portion of the regiment re-enlisted and received their furlough. After its return it was for some time engage in skirmishing among the sea islands. In June, 1864, the 52nd took an active part in the attack on Fort Johnson, in which one hundred and twenty-five were made prisoners. The assault was well executed, but failed for want of support. During the summer and autumn of 1864 the 52nd did duty on Morris Island as heavy artillery. In the following winter it acted as boat infantry in picketing Charleston harbor. In February, 1865, a detachment from this regiment entered the deserted Fort Sumter and city of Charleston.

In the summer and autumn of 1861 this regiment, of which Company E was from this county, was recruited. Among the field officers the county was represented by Frank T. Bennet. It was sent to Port Royal, S.C., in December, and did guard duty there till February, 1862. Thence it went to Edisto Island, where the scattered companies were often attacked. In autumn it went on an expedition to destroy the Savannah Railroad, and was engaged at Pocataligo beidge, losing twenty-nine killed and wounded. Among the killed was Captain H.C. Bennet, of this county. It was then stationed at Beaufort, doing picket duty for a year.

It was subjected to severe discipline and drill under Colonel W.W. Averill, a graduate of West Point, with the result of making it on of the most efficient regiments in the service. It passed its first winter at Camp March, three miles from Chain Ridge. In the spring of 1862 it advanced with McClellan, and after capturing the Quaker guns in the works at Manassas, went forward with the army toward Richmond, and was actively engaged in scouting and skirmishing, with occasionally a severe engage- ment. It participated in the campaign through Maryland in the autumn of 1862, and was engaged at Antietam. After this battle it was continually on the move, and when the enemy advanced into Virginia, late in October, it was employed skirmishing in advance. During the winter of 1862-63 the regiment was engaged in the ord- inary duty of cavalry-picketing and scouting. In March the 3d was engaged in the cavalry fight at Kelly's Ford, and in April it was in the cavalry advance of Hooker's army before the battle of Chancellorsville. About this time the cavalry arm of the service assumed an importance it had not at first possessed, and the 3d, with other cavalry regiments, was engaged in important service. This was especially the case in the operations previous to and at the battle of Gettysburg, as well as in ______________end page 132.____________ page 133 CAVALRY COMPANIES FROM SCHUYLKILL. _______________________________________________________________ the pursuit after that battle. From this time to the close of the war so numberous were the engagements in which the 3d partic? ipated that space will not permit even a mention of them. the regiment was constantly active, and was engaged in most of the cavalry campaigns that have become historic, and in many actions remarkable valor and efficiency were displayed. When the time for re-enlistment came the 3d was suffering greater hardships and privations than at any other time during its term of service, and but few were found willing to enter on another three years of such service. A portion of the command was organized into what was known as the veteran battalion, and as time wore on this "slowly drifter out of the service as the terms of enlistment of the men expired." The remnant of the battalion was mustered out in August, 1865. Among recruits to Company C were James E. Roan and James Gallagher, and to Company A, Adam Frank and Richard Morgan. COMPANY I.

SIXTY-FIFTH REGIMENT-FIFTH CAVALRY. The Cameron Dragoons, as this regiment was at first called, were recruited among the first of the three years regiments. Authority to raise this regiment was first granted by the nation? al government, and it was for a time thought to be a United States organization. It went to Washington in August, 1861, and at once engaged in the kind of duty for which cavalry is best adapted-picketing, scouting and raiding. In 1862 it went to the Peninsula, and thence in the autumn to North Carolina. In January, 1864, it returned to Yorktown, about half the men having previously re-enlisted and taken their veteran furlough. In the spring it entered on the campaign around Petersburg, and from the middle of May till the last of September it was con? stantly in motion. About the first of October it crossed to the north side of the James and joined the army of General Butler, where it was on active duty till the 28th of March, when it recrossed the James and skirmished till on the 7th of April, near Prince Edward Court-house, it learned of the surrender of Lee and the end of the war. A portion of the command was mustered out of the service on the 19th of May, and the remainder after being consolidated with the 3d was mustered out August 7th, 1865. The following were from this county: William Cowley, corporal; Peter D. Helms, bugler; John Rhor? back, Daniel Rended, James Mulgrave, Jacob Immendorf, John Bar? ras, Thomas Downs, Joseph Edwards,John Baily, David B.

Company K was recruited in Schuylkill county. It went early in April, 1862, to Annapolis, where it remained, engaged in guard and provost duty, till Febru- ary, 1863, when it went to Harper's Ferry and soon afterward to Winchester, where most of the men were surrounded, captured and sent to Libby Prison, then to Belle Isle, where they were pa- roled. The small portion which escaped was reorganized, sta- tioned for a time on Maryland Heights, whence it marched to Washington, then to Frederick City, where it joined the army of the Potomac in July, 1863. In the fall and winter of that year it was with the third corps. The paroled prisoners returned in October, and the regiment went into winter quarters at Brandy Station. During the winter a large number of men re-enlisted and were furloughed. On their return in April, 1864, the regiment was sent to Belle Plain, thence to Fredericksburg and soon after- ward to White House, where a battle took place. The regiment soon afterward joined its brigade in front of Petersburg. On the 6th of July the regiment left for Baltimore by trans- ports, and thence went to New market, Md.; then back to Balti- more, and so during the balance of the summer it was marching and countermarching through Maryland and northern Virginia. In September, 1864, it was engaged with the forces of Sherman against Early at Opequan, in which engagement it lost heavily. It was again engaged in the brilliant action at Fisher's Hill. It was engaged at Cedar Creek on the 19th of October and lost in filled and wounded forty-eight. It remained in the valley during the rest of the year; then rejoined the army in front of Peters- burg, and participated in the operations that culminated in the surrender of Lee. It then marched to Danville, near North Caro- lina, and after the capitulation of Johnson it went to Washing- ton, where it was mustered out July 14th, 1865.

At Nash- ville the three commands were separated, and all engaged in scouting through eastern and middle Tennessee, in the discharge _____________end page 135.____________ page 136 HISTORY OF SCHUYLKILL COUNTY. _______________________________________________________________ of which duty they were engaged in many sharp skirmishes and some sever fights. In the autumn of 1862 the cavalry of the department was reor- ganized on the accession of General Rosecrans to the command, and the 7th was made a part of the first brigade of cavalry, under Colonel Mintz. Picket, outpost and foraging duty continued until the advance on Murfreesboro, in December of that year. In January, 1863, the regiment, with its brigade, was engaged in two sharp skirmishes at Rover and one at Unionville. These were vigorously followed by active scouting and skirmishing. In the action at Shelbyville the 7th made a brilliant charge in the face of a rebel battery, which it captured. In July and August the regiment went on an expedition in pursuit of Wheeler's caval- ry, and was on the march during eighteen consecutive days and nights, with scarcely any rest. A large portion of the regiment re-enlisted in 1864 and received a veteran furlough. After its return, with ranks re- cruited, it was actively engaged in the memorable campaign of the following summer, and the march across the gulf States that succeeded that campaign, and during these it was engaged in efficient service. April 28th, 1865, it arrived at Macon, Ga., where it remained until the following August, when it was mus- tered out of the service.

EIGHTY-NINTH REGIMENT--EIGHTH CAVALRY. This regiment, in which Schuylkill county was represented by between forty and fifty men, was organized in July, 1861. It was intended as a rifle regiment, but was changed to cavalry. It went to Washington in the autumn of 1861, and in the spring of 1862 it took the field, and was actively engaged in cavalry service during the war, mostly in Virginia. It was severely engaged in several actions, and at Chancellorsville made one of the most gallant charges in the war. It lost heavily in many of the actions in which it participated. It was in the final cam- paign of the war, and was mustered out of the service at Richmond in August, 1865. The following from this county were in the 89th; all privates but the first named: Corporal John J. Payne, Thomas McGirl, James Walsh, Robert C.

The next summer it was in the Peninsular campaign, and in that which had its culmination at Fredericksburg. It was at Chancellorsville at the opening of the campaign of 1863, and at Gettysburg and in the pursuit which followed the battle. In February, 1864, a large number of the men re-enlisted, and the regiment returned in time for the Wilderness. Then it engaged in the operations before Petersburg. Then it went with Sheridan in his Shenandoah valley campaign, thence went to Philadelphia to do duty during the Presidential election, and returned to the lines in front of Petersburg. It was mustered out in June, 1865. The following from Schuylkill county went out with this regi- ment: H. Clay Bowman, Henry Conrad, Cyrus Knapp, Nelson Knapp, Jacob Fox, William H. Riland, Abraham Heck, Abraham Lehr, Corpo- ral John Southam, James Moyer, Joseph Southam, Charles Luckin- bill, Jeremiah Keller, Jacob Oswold, Lawrence Goodman, Francis McQuade, William Wetzel, sr., William Wetzel, jr., William Vogt, Sergeant William W. Bright. Under the call of October 17th, 1863, the following enlisted: Lieutenant William H. Riland, Jacob Fox (wounded in 1864), William F. Barton, John Eastwood, Christian Sechrist. Under the call of December 19th, 1864, the following joined Company F as privates: Levi Adam, Samuel H. Brown, Henry E. Bartow, Henry Boyer, Israel Clemens, William Fessler, Simon Fisher, William Foreman, Jeremiah Faber, Samuel Heiser, Henry Hummel, Elial Klinger, Samuel Leffler, Peter W.

Stomm, Michael Witmer, Fairfax Washington, Joseph H.C. Weaver, Henry Youtz. NINETY-SIXTH REGIMENT. The nucleus of this regiment was the National Light Infantry of Pottsville, which was the first military company to offer its services to the government on the outbreak of the rebellion. The history of this company in the three months' service is given elsewhere. In August, 1861, Colonel Henry L. Cake was authorized to raise a regiment for three years, and at once established a camp near Pottsville. The organization of the regiment was completed and the state colors presented by Governor Curtin on the 6th of November, and on the 8th it went to Washington. It soon after- ward crossed the Potomac and on the 27th of December went into winter quarters on the Loudon and Hampshire Railroad. Drill and picket duty, with one movement toward Manassas, till April 4th, 1862, when it started on the march toward Fredericksburg, but halted at Catlett's station till the 12th. Thence with its division it proceeded to the Peninsula, where it was first en- gaged at West Point on the 7th of May. After this engagement it was employed in picket and fatigue duty along the Chickahominy till the commencement of the seven-days battles on the 26th of June, in which it participated and in the course of which it made a bold and brilliant charge, which probably saved a portion of the army from disaster. After these battles it was employed in picket and fatigue duty till the evacuation of the Peninsula. August 16th it embarked on transports at Newport News, and arrived at Alexandria on the 24th. Thence it went forward to Bull Run, after which it participated in the Maryland campaign. In the fight at Crampton's Gap the 96th made a brilliant and determined charge, dislodging the enemy's line from behind a stone wall and putting it to flight. In this charge it lost twenty killed _____________end page 138.________________ page 139 THE NINETY-SIXTH REGIMENT. ______________________________________________________________ and eighty-five wounded, out of less than four hundred that went into the battle. It was again engaged at Antietam, where, although it did effective service, it lost only two killed. After this battle it returned with the army to Virginia, and participated in the movements which culminated in the battle of Fredericksburg. although it was under a severe fire of shot and shell at this battle it was not actively engaged. During the winter of 1862-63 it was engaged in fatigue and provost duty, except during the time of the "mud march," in which it participated. At the battle of Chancellorsville the regiment did some severe fighting and achieved some brilliant exploits. Its loss was sixteen killed, fifty-seven wounded and twenty missing. From this time till the 13th of June the regiment was engaged in marching and countermarching, skirmishing and picketing. At that date it started on the memorable Gettysburg campaign, and up to the time of the battle it was almost constantly on the move. Although weary and lame the men of the regiment took their posi- tion and held it till the close of the battle. They then engaged in the pursuit of the retreating rebel army, which they continued till it escaped into Virginia. This service is remembered by the men as on of great severity and intense suffering. They were frequently engaged in skirmishing with the rear of the enemy and lost several wounded. The regiment went to New Baltimore in the latter part of July, and was engaged in scout and picket duty till the middle of September, when it went to Warrenton and was with General Meade in his Rapidan campaign till the 20th of October. In November it went to Rappahannock Station and supported other troops in the battle at that place, and had one man severely and several slightly wounded. During the winter of 1863-4 it remained in camp on the Rappa- hannock, with the exception of one reconnaissance and one expedi- tion to Mine Run. May 4th, 1864, (CDL) it left its quarters, crossed the Rapi- dan and entered on the Wilderness campaign, and during five days it was skirmishing almost constantly. It participated in the charge of May 10th by a portion of the sixth corps. It was engaged at cold Harbor, and took part in the siege of Petersburg and the raid on the Weldon Railroad. It returned to Washington, went in pursuit of Early, participated in the Shenan- doah Valley campaign, and at the expiration of its term of serv- ice, September 22nd, 1864, it was mustered out.

A number of the veterans of this regiment re-enlisted, and it received recruits to some extent, but not enough to enable the regiment to retain its organization at the expiration of its term of service in August, 1864. At that period the members of the regiment were mustered out of service, with the exception of the following re-enlisted veterans and recruits. Their organization was called "Ninety-sixth Battalion, P.V.," and was temporarily attached to the 95th regiment. There were two companies-E and L-as follows: RECRUITS AND RE-ENLISTMENTS, COMPANY E.
