matter of the publication of the records of Maryland troops, for the preservation of the Federal Union during the great Civil War from 1861 to 1865, was inaugurated by the survivors of that war, through their representative organization, the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of Maryland. The survivors of the Civil War and their descendants in the State of

Maryland had,

hoped that the example set by the other and publication of the records of their heroic

States of the Union, in the compilation

would have been an incentive to the people of our State to do likewise, as the record of the gallantry of a part of our people would be the common heritage of all. Over three decades had passed in fact, a third of a century had rolled on since the close of the greatest civil war history has recorded, and the archives of the State failed to show the muster rolls of her sons, or even a brief record of their splendid achievesons,

ments. their descendants believed that if anything was to be done in the should be done at once moreover, the times were propitious, much of the and prejudice engendered by the Civil War had passed away, and only its glories and substantial benefits remained. The Committee on Legislation of the Department of Maryland, Grand Army of the Republic, for the year 1895, had, through the courtesy of Governor Frank Brown and Adjutant-General Douglas, carefully examined such of the muster rolls as were on file in the office of the Adjutant-General of Maryland, and the members of the committee were surprised at the incompleteness and paucity thereof. Not a single regiment or battery was complete, and, in some cases, the muster rolls of entire regiments were missing. Consultations were had, whenever practicable, with the survivors of the different regiments, batteries and companies of the commands accredited to the State of MaryA land, and estimates were obtained from the War Department to cover missing data. The bill was then drafted by the committee, and petition and exhibits were prepared. good offices of Governor Lowndes were asked for, and, upon the assembling of the new Legislature for Maryland in January, 1896, the committee of the Grand Army of the Republic appeared before committees of the Senate and House of Delegates of Maryland and urged action. The matter was deemed non-partisan and patriotic, and prompt action was urged by a number of distinguished Representatives in both Houses of the General Assembly, especially by Colonel John R. Rouzer, of the House of Delegates, from Frederick County, himself a gallant Union soldier of fine record.

In pursuance of the provisions of this Act, Governor

Lowndes appointed a Com-

mission, consisting of General L. Allison Wilmer, Adjutant-General of Maryland; Dr.

James H.

Jarrett, late surgeon 7th

Regiment Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, and Colonel

Preface.

W. F. Vernon, late Cole's Cavalry, Maryland Volunteers. (Colonel Vernon had been the chairman of the G. A. R. Legislative Committee.) The Commission organized in the selection of General L. Allison Wilmfir as Presi-

Geo.

dent and Colonel Geo. W. F. Vernon as Secretary. The great amount of painstaking labor necessarily involved in the careful and accurate compiling of the individual and collective records of the 62,959 names of those Avho served in the army and navy from the State of Maryland was increased on account of the difficulty and, in some cases, the impossibility of obtaining accurate data. The Commission carefully examined the published records of the different States of the Union, and finally adopted as a model the record of the State of Pennsylvania, with some modifications suggested by the records of the State of Minnesota, as being the briefest and yet the most complete and comprehensive record of the individual and the regiment.

The Commission compiled all the data possible from such incomplete records as were found in the office of the Adjutant-General of Maryland. They invited, by circular letter and otherwise, the active co-operation of the surviving veterans of the Civil War representing the different regiments, batteries and companies, soliciting the loan of retained copies of muster rolls, rosters, historical data, etc., and the advice and counsel of these veterans. The Commission also requested inspection of the work in hand as it progressed, with a view of correcting errors, more especially in names, dates of enlistment, discharge, promotions, transfers, casualties, etc.

The Commission then made the

War Department

requisition,

for the missing data

through the Governor of Maryland, upon

— in many cases

for the enlisted

men

of entire

regiments, under the provisions of Act of Congress approved March 2, 1895. The Commission find that, while the records will be in the main accurate and complete, nevertheless,

by reason of the neglect and failure and

clerical errors of certain

making returns of certain names, promotions, casualties, etc., the record cannot be made perfect. Commission have divided the work into two volumes, one volume embracing all The regimental,

company and mustering

officers in

of the troops accredited to the quota of the State of Maryland,

and

distinctively recog-

the second volume to embrace all of the sailors, marines and colored troops from Maryland who served in the Union army or navy. The Commission, in preparing the histories of the different regiments, batteries, companies and battalions, realized that the scope of the work entrusted to them did not nized as Maryland troops

;

contemplate more than compendiums; nevertheless, they have as briefly as possible, with the official data at their command and the assistance of survivors of the war, set forth the material facts in connection with the organizations in as fair, just and impartial a manner as the facts at their disposal warranted. It has been a difficult matter, after the lapse of so many years and the death of so many of the survivors, with so many muster rolls missing and inaccuracies therein, to do complete justice to this work. To recapitulate, the Commission have derived data and information from the official records of the Adjutant-General's office, at Annapolis, Md., and the War Department, Washington, D. C; from retained copies of rolls, data and memoranda furnished by

Preface. survivors of the war; from "Regimental Losses of the American Civil War," by Fox; and from J. W. Kirkley's manuscripts of his history of Maryland troops during the Civil

War. While

this work may not be as complete as some would wish, while it may be thought that a more particular account of individual deeds should have been given, it must be remembered that the primary object of the publication is to preserve a faithful,

names and length of service of those Marj'landers who served their country in the late conflict, to be held in honor and reverence not only by the survivors and the descendants of their departed comrades in this day and generation, but by every patriotic Marylander for generations to come. true and impartial record of the

BRIEF RETROSPECT OF

THE HISTORY OF MARYLAND'S REPRESENTATIVES IN THE ARMY AND NAVY OF THE UNITED STATES DURING THE GREAT CIVIL WAR, A. D. 861 TO 865. J

J

iHE

State of Maryland responded promptly to the call for the preservation of the Federal Union. While her people were divided in sentiment, many of them being connected by social and business ties with the Southern States, which attempted to divide the Union

and set up a separate Confederacy, nevertheless the dominant sentiment was in favor of the Union. The Union people, especially in the western section of the State, in the early days of 1861, without waiting for the authorities to act, took initiatory proceedings to form military organizations to protect themselves and preserve order. They subsequently, upon the call of the proper authorities, enlisted regularly in the Army or Navy of the United States. A considerable number of the people of Maryland who sympathized with the Southern Confederacy, and who had the courage of their convictions, promptly left the State

and joined the Confederate troops. Maryland was on the border land, and in the early days of the Civil War, before the Government was apparently making any serious effort for its own maintenance, and while Confederate troops were stationed on the banks of the Potomac (on her borders), with a full knowledge that her territory would become, in part, the seat of war, her people did not hesitate as to their duty. They enlisted in the regular Army or

Navy of the United States, and in regiments from other States of the Union. They formed military organizations, and the Union Home Guards, of Western Maryland, armed and equipped, protected, confirmed and No appeal made to strengthened the Union sentiment in that section of the State. them, even when their territory was occupied by Confederate armies, or their fair fields desolated by contending hosts, property seized, appropriated, consumed, burned or destroyed, could make them waver in their allegiance to the Union. The sacrifices made by the people of Maryland for the preservation of the Union have never been properly understood or appreciated. The first naval contingent which manned the fleet of Commander Foote, in the year 1861, on the Mississippi, and which did such splendid service, was composed in part of Baltimore sailors, descendants of that gallant body of men who carried the American flag to victory on the high seas in the famous Baltimore privateers during the war of 1812-1815.

The First Regiment of Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, was organized at Baltimore in May, 1861, composed not only of citizens of Baltimore, but from a number of the Major John R. Kenly, counties, especially Frederick, Howard and Baltimore counties. a veteran soldier of the Mexican War, was commissioned Colonel. Colonel Kenly was subsequently promoted Brigadier-General and Brevet Major-General. The regiment promptly proceeded to the front, and at Front Royal, Virginia, May 23, 1862, it emulated the old Maryland line of yore, by the terrible sacrifice it made to save General Banks' Army of the Shenandoah from annihilation, as its progenitors had done at Long Island, New York, in the War of the Revolution, to save the army of General Washington. This regiment maintained its reputation for gallantry all through the Civil War war and veteranized upon the expiration of their original terms of enlistment, and was at the front, with the 5th Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac, surrender of General Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army at Appomattox, Va., at the final re-enlisted for the

The Second and Third Regiments of Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, were organized in June, 1861, and rendered splendid service in the States of North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as on the sanguinary battlefield of Antietam, Md., September 17, 1862, where the Second Regiment particularly distinguished itself in the charge at the Burnside Bridge, as it also did at the siege of Knoxville, Tenn., November 18 to December 6, 1863. The Third Regiment acted with conspicuous gallantry at the great Battle of Gettysburg, Pa., July 2 and 3, 1863. The Fourth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Regiments of Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, were organized from June to September, 1862. The Fifth Regiment Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, was organized in September, 1861.

The Purnell Legion, consisting of a regiment of infantry, three companies of cavand two batteries of artillery, was organized from October to December, 1861, through the instrumentality of the Hon. William H. Purnell, who was Postmaster at Baltimore City at the time, and after whom it was named. Colonel Samuel Graham, of this regiment, was a prominent Maryland lawyer. The First, Second and Third Regiments of Potomac Home Brigade Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, and Cole's Battalion, Potomac Home Brigade Cavalry, Maryland Volunteers, were organized in the western section of the State between August 1, 1861, and October, 1861, through the instrumentality of the Hon. Francis Thomas, member of Congress, by special authority of the Secretary of War. Like the famous Pennsylvania Reserves, this brigade was organized for special service and contained excellent material, and from the battlefields of Gettysburg, Pa. (where the First Regiment, Potomac Home Brigade Infantry, under the command of Colonel William P Maulsby, a distinguished Maryland lawyer of Revolutionary stock, alry,

rendered signal service and suffered severely), to Lynchburg, Va., on the James River, they rendered gallant service, especially the cavalry battalion, which was always known officially and otherwise as "Cole's Cavalry," and which made quite a reputation for its daring and successful raids. It was composed of farmers' sons from the border land, who owned their own horses and who were natural born cavalrymen. For its gallant conduct in heading the cavalry column which cut its way through the enemy's lines at Harper's Ferry, Va., prior to its surrender, September 14, 1862, and for its splendid conduct at the midnight battle in the snow on Loudon Heights, Va., January 10, 1864 (for which it received a congratulatory order from the General-inChief of the Armies of the United States), the battalion was augmented to a full regiment of three battalions in the spring of 1864. Lieutenant-Colonel Vernon, who lost an eye in this battle, was afterwards Surveyor of Customs at Baltimore, Md., and Major Alexander Shaw, of Second Regiment Infantry, Potomac Home Brigade, who rendered gallant service with his command in West Virginia, is at present one of the most successful financiers and business men of Maryland. The First and Second Regiments of Eastern Shore Infantry Volunteers were organized from September to December, 1861, of excellent material, and many of the officers, like Colonel Wallace, Colonel Wilkens and Captain W. D. Burchinal (afterwards Surveyor of Customs at Baltimore, Md.), were members of the oldest and best families of that section of Maryland. The First Eastern Shore Regiment performed gallant service on Culp's Hill, at the battle of Gettysburg, Pa., July 2 and 3, 1863, and the Second Regiment was conspicuous for its soldiery qualities during the Lynchburg campaign of 1864. The Thirteenth Regiment of Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, was organized March 1,

1865.

The First Regiment of Cavalry, Maryland Volunteers, was organized between August, 1861, and June, 1862. A portion of this regiment came from the District of Columbia and the State of Pennsylvania. They rendered invaluable service with the cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac, and particularly distinguished themselves at the cavalry fights and victories of Brandy Station, Va., June 9, 1863, and Gettysburg, Many of the officers were promoted from the ranks for gallantry Pa., July 1-3, 1863. and meritorious conduct. The Third Regiment of Cavalry was organized at Baltimore, Md., from August 8, 1863, to January 9, 1864, and performed good service in the States of Louisiana, Misand Alabama. The Patapsco Guards, Independent Company

sissippi

of Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, was organized September 25, 1861. Smith's Independent Company of Cavalry was organized October 15, 1862. The Baltimore Battery, Light Artillery (Alexander's), was organized August 18, It was composed of most excellent material; one of its former lieutenants, Peter 1862.

The history of the Fourth, Seventh and Eighth Regiments of Infantry was substanThe gallant conduct of these regiments during the campaign of 1864 tially the same. and 1865, under General Grant, until the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, reflected great honor and credit upon themselves and the State of Maryland. These regiments were made up of Marylanders from all sections of the State. Many distinguished and representative Marylanders were officers in these regiments, amongst whom might be mentioned Colonel Harrison Adreon, of the Fourth Regiment of Infantry, afterwards Postmaster at Baltimore, Md. The Hon. Edwin H. Webster, a prominent lawyer of Harford County, a member of Congress for several terms, and afterwards Collector of Customs at Baltimore, was the first colonel of the Seventh Regiment. He was succeeded by the Hon. Charles E. Phelps, also a member of Congress, who was severely wounded, and breveted brigadier-general for gallant and meritorious conduct on the battlefield, and who is at present one of the Justices of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, highly respected and honored by all classes of our people as a jurist and a citizen. Colonel Andrew Dennison, of the Eighth Regiment, came of an old mercantile family of Baltimore, Md., lost an arm in battle, and was breveted brigadier-general. He was afterwards Postmaster at Baltimore. The Sixth Regiment of Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, known as " The Fighting Sixth," was one of the two Maryland regiments (the First Regiment of Infantry being the other) classified by Colonel Fox as one of the three hundred fighting regiments of the war who suffered the severest losses. The Sixth Regiment had certainly a very brilliant record, and during a long period of its service was a component part of the Sixth Army Corps, which rendered such splendid service to the Union cause, both under Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley campaign, and under Grant in the Wilderness and through to the end. Colonel John W. Horn, of this regiment, was promoted brigadier-general, and was afterwards at the head of several Maryland institutions, displaying rare executive ability in their management.

The Purnell Legion, infantry regiment, rendered gallant service in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and with the Army of the Potomac. The companies of cavalry originally attached to the Legion rendered good service all through the war, and especially Company A, at the Battle of Gettysburg. The Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, Nineteenth, Thirtieth and Thirty-Ninth Regiments of United States Colored Troops were recruited in Maryland from July, 1S63, to March, 1S64. While these regiments were not raised under the auspices of the authorities of Maryland, or recognized by them as Maryland troops, nevertheless they were essentially Maryland troops, to all intents and purposes, although recruited and organized under the direct authority of the United States. These regiments rendered good service and suffered severe losses. They always regarded themselves as Maryland troops, and were proud of their native State. A very large number of colored people were recruited in Maryland by recruiting agents from other States, and assigned to regiments organized in and accredited to other States.

A considerable number of colored people also shipped in the United States Navy during the Civil War. A large proportion of these enlistments in the army and navy were subsequently accredited to the quota of the State of Maryland. Maryland furnished to the Union Army twenty (20) regiments and one independent company of infantry; four regiments, one battalion and one independent company of cavalry; and six batteries of light artillery; or a total of twenty-four (24) regiments, one battalion and two independent companies, designated as follows :

A total of thirty-three (33) commands regularly organized, recognized and credited to the State of Maryland. The regiments authorized to be known as the Fourth Regiment, Potomac Home Brigade Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, the Baltimore or Dix Light Infantry, and the German Rifles never completed their organizations, and, before entering active field service, were assigned to and consolidated with other Maryland regiments. If these three regiments were added to those already specified, as well as the six regiments of colored troops recruited and organized in Maryland, viz., the Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, Nineteenth, Thirtieth and Thirty-Ninth Regiments of the United States Colored Troops, it would make a grand total of forty-two (42) organizations furnished by Maryland to the cause of the Union during the Civil War. Many of these regiments re-enlisted for the war and recruited their depleted ranks by consolidations and otherwise repeatedly, and while a regiment of infantry may have entered the service with ten companies and a maximum strength of 1070 men, and a cavalry regiment with twelve companies and a maximum strength of 1276 men, a battery of artillery with a maximum strength of 103 men, nevertheless, from the commencement to the end of the war, over double the number of men would often actually appear upon their muster rolls, and did actually serve in the ranks, as was the case as shown by the official records of the First Regiment of Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, with a grand total of 2541 men, the First Maryland Cavalry, with 2036 men, and Battery D, Maryland Light Artillery, with 178 men.

These enlistments, re-enlistments, recruits, drafted men and substitutes accredited quota of Maryland aggregated a very large number of men in fact, much larger than might have been supposed from the number of organizations accredited to the to the

Maryland regiment mus-

tered into the service of the United States during the Civil War for the preservation of the Union. On the 6th day of May, 1861

Kenly In ten days' and other prominent loyal citizens of Maryland. time that is, on the 16th day of May, 1861 four companies had been recruited, viz.: Companies A, B, C and D, and were duly mustered into the service of the United States, for the term of three years, as a part of the First Maryland Infantry Regiment. Meanwhile, recruiting was going on in other portions of the City of Baltimore and in the State of Maryland for the same regiment, so that by the 27th day of May, 1861, Companies E, F, G, H, I and K had completed their quota, and all of said companies were duly mustered into the service of the United States, thus completing the first organized Maryland regiment accredited to the quota of Maryland in the great Civil

Whilst encamped at Camp Carroll the regiment was fully armed, equipped, drilled,

and prepared for active field service. the 7th day of July, 1861, the regiment was ordered to proceed by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to Frederick City, Maryland, and from thence it marched by the old national turnpike to Middletown, where it went into its first bivouac for the night. The next day it marched to the Antietam and encamped on the banks of that now disciplined

Several of the companies were immediately detailed for detached duty to guard the and ferries of the Potomac river from the mouth of the Antietam to Williamsport, and whilst engaged in this duty had frequent skirmishes with the Confederates. The regiment remained on the upper Potomac until October 16, 1861, when it marched sixty miles to Darnestown to take part in the campaign that culminated in the fords

had hardly prepared itself to march to Williamsport to repel an anticipated advance of the enemy into Maryland. After a midnight march the regiment reached Willianasport and learned that the enemy were operating further up the Potomac in an effort to destroy the locks on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. Promptly marching to the point of attack, the regiment aided in repelling the enemy. The headquarters of the regiment were established at Four Locks, and a number of not as fortunate as the major part of Banks' Division, for for the inclenaent winter season

companies detailed for duty at the crossings of the upper Potomac. Whilst on this duty, a number of attempts of the enemy were foiled and spirited engagements were had at old Fort Frederick, Cherry Run and Dam No. 5. The regiment continued on this duty until the night of the 7th day of January, 1862, when Col. Kenly, with Companies A, B, C, E, G and I, made a forced night march through a pitiless snow storm, over North Mountain to Hancock, Maryland, then being besieged by General (Stonewall) Jackson's Confederate Army. The arrival of the First Regiment of Maryland Infantry Volunteers and other reinforcements caused the enemy to speedily retire via Romney to their winter quarters at Winchester, Va. The First Maryland Infantry was now brigaded with the 46th Pennsylvania Infantry, 28th New York Infantry and 5th Connecticut Infantry, and constituted Williams' Brigade (3d Brigade), General Banks' Division (afterwards 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 5th

Army

Corps).

The regiment, with the 3d Brigade, remained on the upper Potomac until the 28th day of February, 1862, when it marched to Williamsport, and on the 2d day of March, 1862, crossed the Potomac river into Virginia with Banks' Division, and marched through a blinding snow storm to Martinsburg, Virginia, which was occupied without opposition. On the 5th day of March, 1862, the regiment skirmished with the enemy at Bunker Hill, and again on the 8th and 11th near Winchester, Virginia. On the 12th day of March, 1862, the regiment occupied Winchester, Va., after slight opposition with Williams' Brigade. On the 23d instant the regiment, whilst on the

The regiment, with Banks' Division, continued the pursuit of the enemy up the Shenandoah Valley as far as Harrisonburg, when it slowly returned down the valley and, by order of General Banks, the regiment, under Col.

eral Banks' Army, only five thousand strong, then at Strasburg, would have been inevitable, as the enemy would have commanded the only practicable line of retreat. This little command had for several hours gallantly fought vastly superior numbers, crossed both branches of the Shenandoah river in the face of a heavy fire, with the enemy both in front and rear, contesting every foot of ground for several miles, until they were

overwhelmed.

finally

The regiment lost fourteen officers and men killed, forty-three wounded, and five hundred and thirty-five captured. About two hundred and fifty men effected their escape under cover of the woods, and company E, on detached duty at Linden Station, eight miles distant from Front Royal at the time of the engagement, learning of the fate of the regiment, effected an orderly retreat. The sacrifice was not in vain Col. Kenly had promptly advised General Banks of the condition of affairs, and, by his splendid defense, enabled Banks' Division to effect a safe retreat from Strasburg. The remnant of the regiment proceeded, under orders to Baltimore, for reorganization, etc., where it remained until September, 1862, when the famous Maryland Brigade was formed, consisting, at the time, of 1st, 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th Regiments of Infantry, together with Alexander's Battery of Baltimore Light Artillery. (The 6th Regiment of Infantry and Alexander's Battery were subsequently detached from the brigade and assigned to other commands.) On the 18th day of September the regiment, with the Maryland Brigade, left Baltimore under orders to join the Army of the Potomac, then on the Antietam. In November, 1862, the returned prisoners of war rejoined the regiment. The regiment continued on duty on the upper Potomac and constituted a part of tbe ;

Army Corps. the 9th day of April, 1863, the regiment and brigade proceeded by Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to Grafton, West Virginia, to repel an invasion by a large Confederate force. After an energetic but brief campaign the enemy rapidly retreated, and the command returned to Maryland Heights, opposite to Harper's Ferry, where it remained until the 30th day of June, 1863, when, as a portion of French's Division, it marched to Frederick, Maryland, by order of the War Department, in order to act as a reserve to the Army of the Potomac, then engaged in the Gettysburg campaign, and also to protect the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 8th

urated by General Meade, then in command of said army during the latter part of the summer, autumn and winter of 1863 and 1864. The winter of 1863 and 1864, spent by the Army of the Potomac on the Rapidan, was

gloomy and severe. The consolidation of the Army of the Potomac into three instead of five army corps made the 1st Maryland Regiment a part of the (Maryland Brigade) 3d Brigade, 2d dreary,

Army Corps. This consolidation necessitated the displacement of several valuable officers, including General Kenly, the former commander of the 1st Maryland Infantry, much to the regret of his old comrades in arms. The Government having offered strong inducements to the soldiers in the armies of the United States who had served in the field for two years to re-enlist for the war, about three hundred and forty of the 1st Maryland Regiment availed themselves of the offer, and about the 1st day of April, 1864, this portion of the regiment, under Col. Dushane, returned to Baltimore on a thirty days' furlough, where they were received with high honors by the Baltimore City authorities, and thence furloughed to their respective homes. The balance of the regiment, under the command of Major B. H. Schley, remained in camp until the 3d day of May, 1864, when it moved with the Army of the Potomac, under General Grant's immediate supervision, to engage in the terrible Wilderness Division, 5th

campaign. At midnight on the 3d the regiment moved out of camp and crossed the Rapidan river the next day at 12 M. On the morning of the 5th the regiment took its place in line of battle in the Wilderness. The Maryland Brigade, of which the 1st Regiment formed a part, supported the famous Iron Brigade, who were fired upon by the enemy covered by the thick forests and undergrowth. At a distance of forty paces the Iron Brigade returned the fire with visible effect, immediately charged with the bayonet and drove the enemy to his second line, who, being reinforced, drove back the Iron Brigade in confusion, to be repulsed in turn by the severe fire of the Maryland Brigade. So the tide of battle ebbed and flowed all day and far into the night, and the entire Army of the Potomac was more or less engaged, the losses on both sides being very severe.

The battle was renewed on the 6th, raging with great fury and with frightful losses on both sides. To add to the horrors of the battle the undergrowth took fire, sending up great volumes of flame and smoke, in which many of the helpless wounded perished. The evening of the second day's battle left both armies substantially on the same ground. On the night of the 7th, General Grant inaugurated his famous flank movements that inspired the confidence of the Army of the Potomac in ultimate success under his guidance.

and immediately entered into the contest then in progress, one of the severest of the campaign. The 1st Maryland alone sustained a loss of fifty-three in killed, wounded and missing. Three of its color bearers were successively shot down. Two of the Marj-land Brigade commanders were also successively shot down, as well as the Division commander. From the 8th to the 19th of May, the regiment was engaged in the constant manceuvers and actions incident to the movements of the Army of the Potomac. On the 19th instant the original members, who had not re-enlisted for the war, 8th,

received orders to return home to be mustered out after three years' service. About the same time the veterans of the 1st Maryland Infantry Regiment, who had re-enlisted for the war, returned to rejoin the Maryland Brigade with the 5th Army Corps. On the march to the front with some heavy artillery regiments, they were attacked three miles from Spottsylvania Court House by Hood's Division of Ewell's Corps of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Col. Dushane promptly formed the Veterans without waiting for orders and made a counter charge. The artillery regiments' coming up promptly under General R. O. Tyler, the enemy were repulsed, and retreated from the field, leaving their dead and wounded behind them. This action was known as the battle of "Harris' Farm;" the loss sustained by 1st Maryland Regiment in the engagement was thirty-seven men killed, wounded and missing. On the morning of the 21st, the second of the series of flank movements by General Grant took place. The 1st Regiment and the Maryland Brigade, moving with the Fifth Army Corps, participated in all of the severe and steady fighting from the 21st of May.

railroad.

On

the 18th, in the open field engagement which lasted for several hours, the 1st Regiment suffered severely, the casualties in killed, wounded and missing amounting to fifty-seven. Every member of the color guard received severe wounds in this battle. In the series of engagements incident to the capture and holding of the Weldon

First Regiment Infantry.

On the 16th day of September the regiment assisted in the repulse of another attempt of the enemy to dislodge the 5th Army Corps from the Weldon railroad. On the 7th of December, 1864, the regiment, with the brigade and 5th Army Corps, also accompanied by General Greggs' division of cavalry, cut loose from the Army of the Potomac, and started on a mid-winter raid to effectually destroy the Weldon railroad, well towards the North Carolina line, over which Lee's army was still drawing large supplies, by making a wide detour from the railroad terminus. The column marched nineteen miles to the Nottoway river, which it crossed on a pontoon bridge, and bivouacked for a part of the night; starting before daylight, the column pushed forward fifteen miles to the Halifax road, preceded by the cavalry, who drove before them small bodies of the enemy, who attempted to harrass and impede the movements of the infantry. At six P. M. on the evening of the 8th, the column moved down upon the Weldon and began its destruction southward from the bridge across the Nottoway, continuing its work day and night, until it reached Hicksford on the Meherrin river, on the 9th, where the enemy were found in force behind strong earthworks on the opposite side rapid

of the river.

The object of the raid having been effectually accomplished, the column started back for Petersburg, marching all day over wretched roads, through a storm of sleet and snow, a distance of twenty miles, and bivouacked for the night; resuming the march the next day, the weather was found to be intensely cold, and the regiment suffered severely from exposure. The column reached Petersburg in six days from the time of starting, after forced marches night and day over horrible roads and in a constant storm of sleet and snow, during the severest winter of the Civil War, but the object of the raid had been thoroughly accomplished, and the Weldon railroad ceased to be an artery over which supplies could be brought to Lee's beleaguered army. During all of the movements to destroy the Weldon railroad the 1st Regiment and Maryland Brigade did their full share in the fighting, marching and suffering incident to campaigning in the inclement weather of the winter season. On the 5th day of February, 1865, the regiment and brigade, with the 5th Army Corps, entered on the campaign along Hatcher's Run for the purpose of destroying the South Side Railroad, culminating in the battle of Dabney's Mills, in which the 1st Regiment suffered severe loss, including

its

on the 27th of March, 1865 the 1st Regiment and Maryland Brigade, with the 5th Army Corps and Sheridan's Cavalry, under the command of General Sheridan, marched around the enemy's right flank in the last grand movement inaugurated by General Grant, culminating in the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, the end of the Civil War and the preservation of the Federal Union. The battle of White Oak Road was followed by the splendid victory at Five Forks, resulting in the capture of 6000 prisoners, the loss of the enemy's artillery in fact, their utter rout and demoralization. This battle rendered the position of Lee's army at Petersburg untenable, and caused its evacuation simultaneously with that of the Confederate capital at Richmond. ;

First Regiment Infantry,

The Army of the Potomac promptly pursued the retreating army of Lee, capturing thousands of his men, with artillery and munitions of war. Night and day the pursuit was continued until, on the ninth day of April, 1865, the enemy was brought to bay at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, and compelled to surrender the last remnant of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The first division of the 5th Army Corps was detailed to receive the arms surrendered, consisting of seventeen thousand stands of small arms, one hundred and fifty-seven pieces of artillery, and seventy-one battle flags. On the 15th day of April, the 1st Regiment left Appomattox Court House with the 5th Army Corps on its return to Washington, passing through the Confederate capital at

On

the 23d day of May, 1865, the 1st Regiment formed a part of that splendid army of 100,000 men from the Army of the Potomac who passed in review at the capital of the

nation at Washington before the President of the United States and General Grant. On the 2d day of July, 1865, the 1st Maryland Regiment of veteran infantry

SECOND REGIMENT INFANTRY. HIS regiment was

organized at Baltimore, Md., from June to September, 1861, to serve three years. On the expiration of its term of service, the original members (except veterans) were mustered out, and the organization, composed of veterans and recruits, retained in service until July 17, 1865, when it was mustered out by reason of close of war. This regiment, like the First Maryland Infantry, was raised under the President's call of May 3d, 1861; a few of the companies were mustered into the service of the United States in June, 1861, but the recruiting of several other regiments at the same time delayed the completion of the organization, and it was not until the month of September, 1861, that the entire I

regiment was mustered in. The officers and men were mainly from Baltimore, and on the 8th day of October, 1861, the field officers were appointed by the President, John Sommer, a soldier of the war with Mexico, being commissioned as Colonel. Colonel Sommer held this position until April 24, 1862, when he resigned, and the command devolved upon Lieutenant-Colonel J. Eugene Duryee until September 22d, 1862, when he resigned, and Colonel Thomas B. Allard, having been appointed, joined the regiment at Wheatland, Va., in October, 1862, and assuming command, retained it until he resigned at Blair's X Road, Tennessee, January 19, 1863, being succeeded in command by Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Howard, who was killed July 30, 1864, at "The Crater" while leading his regiment in the charge. Captain B. F. Taylor, the ranking captain present, assumed command and was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel. Subsequent to this the regiment had no colonel, its numerical strength greatly reduced by hard service not being sufficient, under the rules of the War Department, to

an officer of that grade. After the regiment had undergone a preparatory training in drill and discipline for active field service, it was assigned to the 9th Army Corps and joined the command of General A. E. Burnside, in North Carolina, in the Spring of 1862, and did its duty nobly in that glorious and successful campaign that redeemed the sound coast of the old entitle it to

North State. During the Peninsular Campaign the regiment, with Reno's Division, of which it formed a part, was sent to reinforce McClellan before Richmond, but arrived at Fortress Monroe after the battle of Malvern Hill, too late to be of service, and was ordered to join the Army of Virginia under Major-General Pope, near Culpepper, Va., and participated in the campaign leading up to its culmination at the battle of Antietam, Md., September 17, 1862, where the regiment specially distinguished itself in the famous charge resulting in the capture of the Stone Bridge, now known in history as the Burnside Bridge.

After the battle of Antietam the regiment remained with the

Army

of the Potomac,

campaign work in Virginia, especially in the terrible battle at Fredericksburg, Va., December 12 to 15, 1862. The regiment was thence transferred with Burnside's Command to East Tennessee, where it actively engaged in all the battles of the East Tennessee Campaign, and particularly in the siege and splendid defense of Knoxville, Tennessee, November 18 to December 6, 1863. January 1, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted for the war and returned to Baltimore, where it received quite an ovation from the loyal citizens of Maryland, who felt proud of participating actively in all of

its

the prowess of this gallant regiment.

After the expiration of the thirty days' furlough, the regiment was again assigned duty with the Army of the Potomac, and participated in the battle of Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, June 3 and Tolopotomoy, May 31, 1864 Va., May 12 to 20, 1864 assault on Petersburg, June 16 and 17, 1864 the Crater, July 30, 1864, and the 4, 1864 subsequent siege of Petersburg, Va., 1864-65 the battle of Weldon R. R., August 18 to 21, 1864 Hatcher's Run, October 27, 1864 storming of Petersburg, April 2, 1865, and the final engagement resulting in the surrender of General Lee's Confederate Army, at Appomattox Court House, Va., April 9, 1865. During its service in the United States Army, the Second Maryland Infantry marched 1847 miles, was transported by rail 1575 miles, and by water 2131 miles, a total of 5553 miles. The regiment served in Dix's Division, Army of the Potomac, from muster in to March 26, 1862 First Brigade, Second Division, Department of North Carolina, to July 22, 1862 First Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Army Corps, to April, 1863 Department of the Ohio, to June, 1863 First Division, Twenty-third Army Corps, to September, 1863 First Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Army Corps, to Janiiary, 1864; Second Division, Ninth Army Corps, to March, 1864 First Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Army Corps, to April, 1864 Second Brigade, Third Division, Ninth Army Corps, Second Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Army Corps, to July 17, 1865. to June 5, 1864 The casualties in the Second Maryland Infantry Regiment during the Civil War for Killed and wounded, 5 commissioned the preservation of the Union were as follows died of disease, etc., 3 commissioned officers and total, 89 officers and 84 enlisted men 134 enlisted men total, 137; or an aggregate of 226 men.
