IT is desirable that a record of the principal incidents in the career of the Regiment which Franklin county was pleased to consider peculiarly her own, should be preserv ed. The survivors will cherish such a memorial. The dead will be embalmed in its pages. It is especially becoming to make this memorial the means of rearing a Column to the Fallen Braves of the County, of whatever Regiment. The Franklin County Soldiers Monumental Association design erecting such a Column at the County seat. This Sketch has been prepared for them, and the proceeds de rived from its sale will be devoid to that object. It has been read, as published in the following pages, to a number of the Officers and Men of the Regiment, who were with it throughout, and has received their approval. The Company Rolls are taken from the Regimental De scriptive Book. The "Remarks" the notes of changes, casualties, &c., have been carefully revised by competent members of the respective Companies in all the Compa nies except A, C and K, by one or more of the Officers.

General TYLER kindly furnished copies of his Reports of the part taken by his Brigade at the battles of Fredericks- burg and Chancellorsville. M212532 A SKETCH THE isbrH J^_EG T PA, YOLUNTEEP V S, ON the 8th ot July, 1862, the Peninsular Campaign came to a disastrous close. McClellan was at Harrison s Landing. The siege of Richmond was raised. Fifteen thousand men had been lost to the army in the fruitless struggle. That grand army, which was the pride and hope of the country and which had fought its way to the gates of the Rebel Capital, had staggered back in a seven days combat to the banks of the James river. The North was stunned with grief and de spair. Halleck was made General-in-Chief. On the 14th of July, Pope took command of the Army of Virginia. On the 17th, the President was authorized to accept the services of one hundred thousand volunteers for nine months to serve as infantry, for whom the same provision was made as for volunteers for three years, except as to bounty. At the same time arrangements were made to set in motion the terrible machinery of the draft. The President approved the Confiscation and Emancipation Act. The Nation was beginning to adopt stringent and energetic measures. On the 31st of July, all leaves of absence were revoked and annulled, and all officers and privates capable of ser vice were required to join their commands. During the /t> 6 FORMATION OF THE COMPANIES. first week of August, the Confederate Generals were as sembling their forces for the purpose of crushing the army commanded by General Pope and advancing to the cap ture of the Capital. On the 9th of August, Jackson fought Banks at Cedar Mountain. Such was the aspect of military affairs in the East whilst the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth regiment was recruit ing. About three weeks were occupied in this labor. Ju- niata county furnished two companies, namely: F and I. Captain John P. Wharton, of Perryville, led the men of Company F, and those of I came in charge of Captain Amos II. Martin, of MifHintown. Both these officers were men of mature years and sterling character, and the young men who followed them from the banks of the Blue Juni- ata were the flower and promise of the county. The remaining eight companies were from Franklin coun ty, except part of one company, which was furnished by Fulton. Do?bler gathered around him, in Company A, the young men of Chambersburg; and here also Miles and John H. .Reed assembled companies G and D. Brownson led down C from Mercersburg. The mountaineers of Ful ton, under Pott and Hoke, uniting with the men of Antrim collected by Wm. H. Davison, formed Company B, under Austin. Waynesboro sent out E, under the Walkers. From the highlands of Path Valley, John II. Walker was followed by the bulk of Company H, Elder filling out the complement with St. Thomas contribution. The quota of Greencastle marched out as Company K, under Rowe and A. R. Davison. The materiel of these companies was also excellent. The very pick and pride of Franklin county responded to the call of the President at this great crisis of the struggle. The towns and the hill-sides of the Con- ococheague sent of their best youth. A fair proportion of the officers had seen service and learned the rudiments of drill and discipline in the school of actual hostilities. l O ORGANIZATION OF THE REGIMENT. g Tliis regiment, made up so largely of the citizens of Frank lin county, was always regarded with pride hy her people as her peculiar contribution to the war. The several companies of which the regiment was com posed assembled at Camp Curtin between the 6th and 10th of August, 1862. These having been duly mustered into service, an election for field officers was held in camp on the 13th of August the electors being the company officers. This election was without legal force, and merely served to indicate to the Governor the wishes of the regiment in this regard. James G. Elder, of St. Thomas, Franklin county, who had been captain of company C, Second regi ment Pennsylvania Volunteers, (three months service) was elected Colonel. Captain John Dick, of the One Hun dred and Seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, then serving with his regiment in the field, was elected Lieutenant Colo nel, and 1). Watson Rowe, late First Lieutenant of Compa ny C, Second P. V., was chosen Major. The selection of Captain Dick was due to the desire of the regiment to have the aid of an experienced soldier, but the regulations of the War Department, at the time, prohibited officers of three- years regiments from being transferred to nine-months or ganizations, (as was said,) and the Governor accordingly com missioned James G. Elder as Colonel, D. Watson liowe as Lieutenant Colonel, and James C. Austin, who had been voted for as Lieutenant Colonel, to be Major. At the same time, John Stewart was commissioned as Adjutant, and T. Jefferson Kill as Quartermaster. On the next day, the men having been supplied with arms and clothing, and the companies furnished with camp and garrison equipage, the order to proceed to the front was received by Colonel Elder, and at 4 A. M. of Friday, the 15th of August, tents were struck, and the commissions of the Field and Staff Officers being now handed to them, the re giment was conveyed by car to Baltimore and thence to /0 8 AT CLOUD S MILLS. S Washington, where it arrived at 4 A. M. of the succeeding day. Remaining at the Soldiers Kest until noon, the march was then taken up for the south side of the Potomac, and at 6 P. M., tents were pitched near Fort Albany, about five miles from the city, a beautiful location, which was named Camp Stanton . General Casey was here in command of the provis ional brigades, and to him reports were made. At this time the Surgeons joined the regiment and the Non-Commissioned Staff were appointed. From this camp, on the 22nd of Au gust, the command was moved to Alexandria, and thence four miles out to Mrs. Scott s house, near Clouds Mills. The regiment was now brigaded with the Ninety-First, One Hundred and Twenty -Ninth, and One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, commanded re spectively by Colonels Gregory, Frick and O Brien. Brig adier-General Erastus B. Tyler was assigned to the com mand of the brigade. No change took place in the bri gade organization whilst the One Hundred and Twenty- Sixth was in service, and General Tyler remained in com mand until the term of service of the regiments had ex pired. Here the regiment was fully supplied with am munition and transportation, and began regular drill. It was ready for work. Major Hershberger, of Chambers- burg, went down to the front and instituted a school for officers, which was kept up until the result of the second Bull Run necessitated active movements of the command. On the 23d of August, orders were received by Colonel Elder to be in readiness to proceed to Warrenton; but, for some reason, the regiment was not moved. On the 26th, indeed, the baggage was loaded and sent off, but the men remained in camp, and in the afternoon again pitched tents. On Sunday, the 31st of August, orders came at 8 P. M., directing Lieutenant Colonel Rowe to prepare to proceed with six companies of the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth and a section of artillery to Bull Run bridge and hold it. WITHIN THE LINES OF WASHINGTON. The companies were called out, a train of cars with the artillery aboard stood ready near by. At 11 P. M. Colonel Howe was ordered to Alexandria for final directions, but the order to move did not come, for the tide of battle had already passed the point designated, and the bridge was de stroyed. On this day, companies A and B were sent se venteen miles to the front in charge of an ammunition train, and Company K was also sent to Fairfax Station to guard and care for the wounded there collected. The deep boom ing of cannon had now, for several days, warned the regi ment of the fearful struggle daily drawing nearer, and at length the streams of wounded and stragglers revealed only too clearly that a second time, on the field of Bull Run, the banners of the Union had trailed before the foe. On the 2nd of September, the whole army was drawn back within the lines around "Washington, and the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth was moved to a position one mile from Alexandria, named Camp Wade, between two Forts. Here, on Saturday, the 6th of September, Reverend Samuel J. Niccolls, appointed Chaplain to the regiment, joined it, and the Commissioned Staff was thus made full. On Sunday, the 7th, a long and tiresome march was made from this camp to Fort Corcoran, up the river, and back again to Camp Whipple beside Fort Richardson, where tents were pitched in a peach-orchard. At 6J in the evening di vine service was held by Reverend Mr. Niccolls, the chap lain, before head-quarters. At that hour, unknown to the men, the whole rebel army had crossed the Potomac and were settling around Frederick. At this place the regiment learned ot the dismissal from the service of Major Austin, on the 5th of September, for visiting Washington without leave, contrary to General Or ders, No. 114. Major Austin had been very sick of a se vere chronic disease, and ignorant, like the rest, of the or der referred to, went to the city and placed himself in charge 10 HOMES IN DANGER. of a physician there from August 28th till September 3d, when he rejoined the regiment, This summary dismissal was subsequently, upon a better understanding of the mat ter, revoked and Major Austin restored, but he then re signed. He accompanied the regiment, however, to An- tietam. It was whilst lying in this camp, a portion of the regiment in the rifle-pits, and the remainder on picket at Bailey s Cross-Roads, near Munson s Hill, every one supposing the enemy to be in full force in front of Washington, and an assault upon the fortifications daily expected, that a flood of letters from Franklin county first informed the men of Lee s invasion of Maryland, ancl that their hearths and altars were threatened. A very deep feeling pervaded the entire re giment Every one pondered the situation, and endeavored to divine the near future. While thus the letters came in from the 8th until the llth, showing with each day an in crease of excitement at home; while Lee was issuing his proclamations to Maryland, and McClellan was marching in five parallel columns on Frederick; the men of the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth picketed and drilled, and lounged and smoked in the works around Washington, the monotony broken only by a review on the 9th by Gene- Fitz John Porter and General Whipple. But the after noon of Friday, the 12th, found the brigade of Tyler march ing through Georgetown and Washington to Meridian Hill, at the foot of 14th street in the latter city, whence began, on Sunday, the 14th of September, the march for the bat tle field of Antietam. Before we follow the regiment from Washington a bit of romance connected with its history is to be chronicled. Wil liam Fitzpatrick, of Western Virginia, loved or was loved by Frances Day. Fitzpatrick enlisted in company F, from Juniata county, and went to the war with the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth regiment. In a short time he fell ill, \ SI-:R(;I-:ANT ix PETTICOATS. and on the 24th of August, 1862, whilst the regiment lay at Cloud s Mills, he died in the hospital at Alexandria. On the day he died, Frank Maine, a Sergeant of company F, unaccountably deserted. When he enlisted he was a stran ger to all the men of that company, but in a fe\v days he had so ingratiated himself with his comrades and officers O as to be promoted to Sergeant. He was not heard of any more while the regiment remained in service. But long after, in the far West, a soldier, wounded badly in a great battle, could not conceal her sex, and Frances Day then told how she had followed Fitzpatrick into the army and become herself a soldier and a Sergeant in the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers; of her deser tion upon her lover s death, and the abandon and despair which led her to seek again the ranks of the army. To ve rify her story, letters were written to the officers of Compa ny F, at Mifflintown, and thus the mystery of the Sergeant s desertion was dispelled. On Sunday, Sept. 14th, the regiment marched with the brigade from the Camp at Meridian Hill for the Monocacy, by way of Rockville, encamping by that stream on the af ternoon of the 16th, about the time Hooker s corps was first put in motion on the field of Antietam, and the great battle began. On the first day s march, General Humphreys with his staff was observed on the roadside, snatching a marching review of the brigade as it passed b} en route, and it was then learned that a day or two before he had been as signed to the division composed of the brigades of Tyler and Allabach. He remained at the head of this division until the muster out of the regiments composing it. Of these two officers, Tyler and Humphreys, who together had sole charge of the fortunes of this regiment, General Hum phreys was a Regular officer, past middle life, educated at West Point, deeply learned in engineering, long attached to the Topographical Department, and so far, during the /O l> HUMPHREYS AND TYLER. 2 war, on the staff of General McOlellan. He entered the ser vice on the 1st of July, 1831, as Brevet Second Lieutenant, in the Second Artillery. Served in Florida: resigned 30th September, 1836: was appointed First Lieutenant of Topo graphical Engineers, July 7th, 1838. He knew little of hu man nature in civilians, and when he first assumed com mand of this division he was not well fitted to handle citi zen volunteers. Nevertheless, he was greatly relied upon. General Tyler, on the other hand, was not an educated sol dier, hut full of military spirit and aptitude, and admirably suited to have charge of a brigade of men fresh from the people. He was heartily liked by all under him, and was as much respected as liked. He was a large, soldierly-look ing man, in the prime of life. He entered the army at the outbreak of the war as Colonel of the Seventh Ohio, and served under Ro&ecrans in West Virginia. He subsequent ly fought by the side of Shields in the Valley, when Stone wall Jackson was there. The regiment was fortunate in both its general officers. Tyler s brigade lay on the Monocacy, by the Frederick road, from the evening of the 16th till the middle of the af ternoon of the 17th of September, during which time a large body of paroled Union prisoners, surrendered by Miles at Harper s Ferry, passed southward. About 3 o clock the march was taken up for Antietam, by way of Frederick, Middletown and Boonsboro, and the command was forced forward all night, halting but one hour on the top of South Mountain lor rest, and at 8 A. M. of the 18th arrived on the battle field, received twenty additional rounds of ammu nition, and took position in reserve with the rest of Porter s corps. The men were much fatigued with the twenty-six miles forced marching, but were in good heart at the pros pect of making their first fight near home. The reinforce ment which Humphreys thus brought to M Clellan number ed six thousand men. The fight was not resumed. Lee ANTIETAM. THE RECONNOISANCE. crossed the Potomac. Tyler s brigade was moved down to the river bank and watched the enemy on the other side all day, while an Ohio battery amused them with an occa sional shell. The brigade went into camp one mile from Sharpsbnrg, where it lay without a movement worthy of note until the 16th of October. The One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth regiment, raised on the border, was over- overflowed all the while it lay here with friends and rela- tiv.es, who came in great numbers, bearing loads of pro visions and delicacies. The State Colors were presented here, and the division was Honored with a review by the President of the United States. On the 16th of October, General Humphreys, with his di vision and some artillery and cavalry, made a reconnoisance into Virginia, crossing the Potomac below Shepherdstown and proceeding as far as Leetown. The enemy s cavalry hovered in the Federal front all the way, and his horse-artil lery were kept pretty busily at work. He fell back, however, without showing much resistance, and the casualties were few. The reconnoitering force encamped over night near Leetown, and next day retraced its steps and recrossed the river, the movement having been very finely conducted by General Humphreys. After this, for two weeks, the time passed as before in guard, drill, parade and review. The ladies of vVaynesboro relieved the monotony somewhat by the presentation of a beautiful banner to Company E, many of the fair donors being present. At length, on the 30th of October, 1863, (M Clellan having begun his movement on Warrenton,) the regiment broke camp at 3 P. M., and moved about six miles into Pleasant Valley. At day-break next day the march was resumed, the river at Harpers Ferry was crossed on pontoons, and tte brigade halted four miles beyond the Ferry, in London county. On Sunday, 2nd of November, Snickersville was reached and the regiment went into camp, but having only \ o 14 SNICKER S GAP AND VVARRENTON. * had time for supper, the march was continued after dark to the top of the mountain Snicker s Gap. Here, on the top of the Blue Ridge, the brigade lay until Wednesday, the 5th. The weather was growing cold. The west winds whistled on the mountain peaks and pierced to the marrow of the men s bones. But there were compensations. The sol diers, living oft the enemy, reveled in mutton and veal. The enraptured vision of the pickets drank in the beauties of the Shenandoah Valley, spread out like a great quilt beneath them Berryville plainly in view, and the distant spires of Winchester dimly visible. From Snicker s Gap the command was moved towards Aldie, but when about four miles from that place changed direction and passed through White Plains to New Balti more, and thence to the vicinity of Warrenton, where it lay encamped until the 17th of November. Here M Clellan, attended by Burnside, his successor in command of the ar my, bade farewell to all the corps in a grand and brilliant review. A day or two later, Fitz John Porter also reviewed the 5th Corps upon taking leave of it Hooker succeeding him. While here, the six corps of the army were consolida ted into three Grand Divisions of two corps each, and the Fifth Corps, now under Butterfield, was assigned to the Center Grand Division, which Hooker commanded. On Sunday, the 16th, Hooker reviewed Humphreys division, and the men began to know "Fighting Joe," and to take pride in him as their commander. In the evening, Rever end Mr. Niccolls preached his farewell sermon to the bri gade, at General Tyler s headquarters. The leave of absence granted him by the Presbyterian Congregation of Chain- bersburg had expired, and he now resigned the chaplaincy and returned home. On Monday, the 17th, the division began its march by way of Warrenton Junction and Richland Creek to the vi- o cinity of Falmouth. The weather was rainy, the country 5 FUEDERICKSBUBG. 15 traversed poor and deserted, the rations short, and the inarch, though the stages were not long, was altogether disagreea ble. On the 19th tents were pitched six miles from Fred- erickshurg, and on the 22d camp was shifted to a point two miles nearer Falmouth. The coldness of the weather now admonished the soldiers to build chimneys and otherwise promote physical comfort in their tents, and the camp soon became a temporary village. Upon the arrival of the regi ment here, it was greeted with the return of Captain Reed and Lieutenants Cook and Hornbaker and a number of en listed men left sick at Antietam.* At 4 A. M. of the llth December, the reveille was beat en and the regiment moved out to the field of its first great battle. It halted in a level plat about two miles out. The next day it was moved forward a mile or two and bivouacked in a pine woods near the Philips House, and close by the river. During both days the men were inspired by the mu sic of bands and the deep booming of Burnside s cannon on the river bank. On Saturday, the 13th of December, the brigade crossed the Rappahannock on the upper pon toon bridge, entered Fredericksburg at the northern end, then turning to the left moved down to the centre of the town. At 3J P. M. General Tyler moved his command to the front, and filing to the right from the Telegraph road, en tered a low meadow, at the far end of which stood a large brick tannery. Above this meadow, overshadowing it, frowned the rebel redoubts and batteries. The command was massed in this enclosure the Union and Confederate batteries playing over the heads of the men. Very soon a rebel officer was observed to advance a section, and imme diately he opened on the crowded mass beneath. The shell dropped down into the throng and threw the earth and man gled bodies into the air. The men were not in line of bat tle could not form in line were simply awaiting orders. They could only watch the batter) 7 on the height above; watch ^o x i A THE BATTLP; OF FREDERICKSBURG. 6 o the flight of the shell into their midst, and shudder at its destruction. It was awful to stand thus and he slaughtered. But at length the order came to move to the left of the Tele graph road and form in two lines under cover of a hill, pre paratory to a last charge upon the rebel works on Marye s Heights. The road was swept by the enemy s shell and the bullets of his sharp-shooters. The right of the regiment was hurried across; the left waited a moment at the edge of the road, then it also hastily passed over, but not scathless. Lieutenant Fortescue, of G, had scarcely put foot into the road before a ball from a sharp-shooter s rifle pierced his head and he fell a corpse. As rapidly as possible, for it was growing late, the column of assault was formed in two lines. The first line was com posed of the One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth Pennsylva nia, under Colonel O Brien, on the right, and the One Hun dred and Twenty-Ninth Pennsylvania, Colonel Frick, on the left; the second line, six or eight paces in the rear, was made up of the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Pennsyl vania, Colonel Elder, on the right, and the Ninety-First Pennsylvania, Colonel Gregory, on the left. While the brigade was thus forming, at the base of the hill, a battery above was engaged in a fearful and desperate duel with the rebel artillery their many guns concentrating on it a converging fire. It was an unequal fight. The artillery men, black with powder and smoke, worked like fiends. Volunteers were sent from the regiments below. In a short time the men were scattered about the ground dead, and the guns were rendered useless or hauled off. At this moment General Hooker and General Butterfield came out of town, and from an eminence a short distance to the rear, prepared to watch the effect of Humphreys charge. The men were ordered to rely solely upon the bayonet and cautioned not to fire; the command: "Officers, twelve paces to the front!" was given; the bugles sounded the charge, T 1 1 K BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG. 17 OST and then, with cheer upon cheer, the hill which covered the formation was ascended and the charge began. The ranks were well kept; the men ran steadily and in line. The brick house on Marye s Hill was already reached. The even ing was fine; it was just beginning to grow dark. This was the fourth charge made that day over this same ground. Hancock had followed French, and then Howard had gone up the hill. Each charge was repulsed after fifteen immor tal minutes. When the third charge failed, Burnside, riding down to the Rappahannock, (the men of the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth saw him pass,) gazing over at those heights, exclaimed, "That crest must be carried to night!" Humphreys had been at once ordered across. So far he had done his work well. "Xo prettier sight was ever seen," said Hooker, as he turned to leave the field after the failure of the assault, "than the charge of that Division." General Humphreys himself, a stern judge, who, brave to a fault, exacted much of the soldiers under him and was lit tle given to compliment, spoke highly of the conduct of his command. General Tyler in his report extols their gallant ry. Harpers Pictorial, a week after the charge, contained a large wood-cut illustration of it. But it was unsuccessful. In front of the brick house at the foot of the crest, and along the raised ground to its right and left, lay a body of men in line prone on the earth. They were the men of the last preceding charge. Whether they did not wish to be run over by the men and the officers on horseback, or from whatever cause, they raised partly -up, cried halt, remon strated with violent gesticulations as the charging line came upon them, and thereby very greatly disarranged the ranks and broke the force of the charge. But the column passed over them like a storm. Colonel Elder led the right wing of the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth to the right of the brick house. Lieutenant Colonel Rowe sent part of the left wing, placed in his charge, also to the right, and led BATTLE OF FREDEBICKSBURG. the two left companies, II and K, around on the other side. These latter companies having a clear field pressed rapidly beyond the house and quite near the stone wall, blazing now in the evening with the enemy s fire. Colo nel Elder, with those who went to the right of the house, was greatly obstructed by fences in the way, which had to be broken down. Nevertheless he pushed vigorously beyond the house and approached the stone wall. As the house was passed on either side, the fire of musketry, which was severe before, grew terrific. The long line of stone wall was a sheet of flame. From every eminence, in front, to right, to left, the rebe.1 cannon were turned on the charging column. Whatever was to be done must be done quickly. In one moment more the wall could be gained. How it came about is not known, but certain it is that the men lying in front of the house, who had been passed over, began to fire at the enemy through our advancing lines. Immediately there was a stop. The fire in the front, the fire in the rear, every flash visible in the twilight, astounded the soldiers. Be wildered, they stood for a moment irresolute; then in their "excitement began to fire at the rebel line. This was fatal. The charge was over. All its momentum was lost. It was folly to think of leading men leisurely up to that blazing fence; it was more hopeless still to expect them to stand still and remain enduring that fire. The officers urged. Colo nel Elder, gallantly pushing forward, fell badly wounded. General Tyler was struck on the breast with a piece of shell. General Humphreys already had two horses killed under him, and was raving in front of the lines urging the men on whilst pulling his holsters from under his dead horse. Among the line officers of the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth, Dcebler, Pott, Wharton, Walker, Fletcher, and Mackey, had been carried from the field. Men were falling rapidly. Their feeble fire against the stone wall was futile. It was growing dark. Lieutenant Colonel Howe w 76 % BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG. I was on the left of the regiment, on the other side of the house, ignorant that Colonel Elder had fallen. The regiment was without a Major. It fell back with the rest of the brigade to the protection of the house, and descending the acclivity up which the charge had been made, re-formed under the cover of the hill whence the charge began. Of the character of the work which this division was put to do, and of the behavior of the men who followed Humph reys up those heights on that December evening, Gene ral Hooker speaks thus, under oath a week afterward, before the Committee on the Conduct of the War; and he who won on many a bloody field the sobriquet of "Fighting Joe," must be supposed no mean judge of a brilliant charge: Major General JOSEPH HOOKER, sworn and examined.* "About 2 o clock, on that day, [December 13th,] ^received orders to send another of my divisions to support General Sturgis, and about the same time I received an order from General Burnside to cross over my other two divisions and attack the enemy on the Tele graph road the same position we had been butting against all day long. As soon as I received the order my divisions commenced crossing. "I rode forward to see what I could learn from the officers French, Wilcox, Couch, and Hancock who had been engaged in the attack. Their opinion, with one exception, was that the attack should not be made on that point. After conferring with them I went to exam ine the position to see whether or not it could be turned. Discover ing no weak point, and seeing that many of the troops that had al ready been engaged in the attack were considerably demoralized, and fearing that should the enemy make an advance, even of but a small column, nothing but disaster would follow, I sent 1 my Aid- de-camp to General Burnside to say that I advised him not to attack at that place. He returned, saying that the attack must be made. I had the matter so much at heart that I put spurs to my horse and rode over here, [the L^cy House, where the committee were sitting,] and tried to dissuade General Burnside from making the attack. He insisted on its being made. "I then returned and brought up every available battery in the city, with a view to break away their barriers by the use of artillery. I proceeded against the barriers as I would against a fortification and *See Report on the Conduct of the War, Part 1, pp. 667, 671. HOOKER S TESTIMONY. endeavored to breach a hole sufficiently large for a "forlorn hope" to enter. Before that, the attack along the line, it seemed to me, had been too general not sufficiently concentrated. I had two batteries posted on the left of the road, within four hundred yards of the po sition upon which the attack was to be made, and I had other parts of batteries posted on the right of the road at the distance of five or six hundred yards. I had all these batteries playing with great vigor until sunset upon that point, but with 110 apparent effect upon the rebels or upon their works. During the last part of the cannonading I had given directions to General Humphreys division to form, under the shelter which a small hill afforded, in column for assault. AVheii the fire of the ar tillery ceased I gave directions for the enemy s works to be assaulted. General Humphreys men took off their knapsacks, overcoats and haversacks. They were directed to make the assault with empty muskets, for there was no time there to load and fire. When the word was given the men moved forward with great impetuosity. They ran and hurrahed, and I was encouraged by the great good feel ing that pervaded them. The head of General Humphreys column advanced to within, perhaps, fifteen or twenty yards of the stone wall, which was the advanced position which the rebels held and then they were thrown back as quickly as they had advanced. Pro bably the whole of the advance and the retiring did not occupy fif teen minntes. They left behind, as was reported, seventeen hun dred and sixty of their number, out of about four thousand. "I may as well state here that Sykes division was drawn up to support Humphreys, so that in case he should succeed, I could throw forward all the force that I had left Sykes division, about four thousand men to hold the position in face of thirty thousand who were massed behind that wall. That was why I did not like to make the attack, because even if successful, I could not hold the po sition. It was now just dark. Finding that I had lost as many men as my orders required me to lose, I suspended the attack, and direct ed that the men should hold, for the advance line between Frede ricksburg and the enemy, a ditch that runs along about midway be tween the enemy s lines and the city, which would afford a shelter for the men. "I will say that, in addition to the musketry fire that my men were exposed to, the crests of the hills surrounding Fredericksburg form almost a semi-circle, and these were filled with artillery, and the focus was the column that moved up to this assault. That focus was within good canister range, though I do not think any canister was thrown on my men that day. All these difficulties were appa rent and perfectly well known to me before I went into this assault. f t BATTLE OF FRKDERICKSBURG. . They were known also to other officers. General French said to me that the whole army could not take that point." Question. Had you made any impression upon their works? Answer. Not the slightest; no more than you could make upon the side of a mountain of rock. Question. How did the men behave during the attack? Answer. They behaved well. There never was anything more glorious than the behavior of the men. No CAMPAIGN IN THE WOULD EVER SAW A MORE GALLANT ADVANCE THAN HUMPH REYS 7 MEN MADE THERE. But they were put to do a work that 110 men could do." Colonel Elder was carried from the spot where he fell to the brick house, and after a while into Fredericksburg to the hospital, where he was placed in charge of Doctor Nugent. His left leg near the thigh was fearfully shattered, and his life for a time was despaired of. He was subsequently con veyed to Washington, where he remained until the regiment was mustered out, the command of it devolving, thenceforth, on the Lieutenant Colonel. The wounds of Captain Dceb- ler also prevented his return, and Lieutenant Welsh was in charge of Company A from this time. During the charge the color-bearer of the One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth regiment was shot, and the colors of that regiment were rescued and safely brought off by George E. Jones, of com pany H, One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth, and returned by Lieutenant Colonel Rowc to the regiment. The brigade went into action two thousand strong, and lost in the few minutes of the charge, thirty-three officers and four hun dred and twenty-three men. About 9 o clock at night the brigade was withdrawn from the field and rested in the streets of the town. At 3 A. M., however, it was again taken under Colonel Gregory to the scene of the evening s charge. Everything no\v was perfect ly quiet, not a gun broke the stillness of the night. The groans of the wounded rang out clear in the night air. The ground was strewed with the dead and dying, and the ambu lances and stretcher-bearers flitted quickly and quietly over BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG. r the field. A deep mist obscured everything. Lieutenant Walker was out with a party detailed for the purpose, seek ing all night long the wounded and dead of the One Hun dred and Twenty-Sixth. Until daylight the regiment lay on the ascent below the brick house. In the morning the brigade was relieved and taken by General Tyler into Fred- ericksburg, the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth being quar tered in a graveyard opposite the office of G. H. C. Eowe, Esq., which was used as regimental headquarters. The 14th was Sunday. On the evening of the 15th, the One Hun dred and Twenty-Sixth was posted as a strong picket along one of the streets in the suburbs. From this duty it was subsequently taken, toward midnight, and hurriedly con ducted across the city and out to the left beyond the limits of the town, across a stream and up a road to a small brick house. Here four companies were held in reserve, and the remainder were posted on the edge of a precipitous hill running in a semi-circle round to the railroad. The ene my s pickets could be heard talking. The men crawled quietly to their places and lay flat down, their guns point ing through the fence. Arrived at the block-house, Lieu tenant Colonel Howe placed therein Captain Brownson, with a dozen of his men, and sent Captain Walker with six of company E s men across to the railroad. Just at this time the moon shone out brightly for a little while, throwing long shadows down the hill, rendering what was doing ob servable to the enemy. But fortunately the changing of the pickets was now accomplished. Soon, however, it grew dark again and towards morning rained very hard. All night long the army of Burnside had been busy seeking the North bank of the Eappahannock, yet so quietly that not the re bels only but this regiment (except one or two officers) knew nothing of it. Toward daylight an order came to withdraw the command as speedily and cautiously as possible. Colonel Eowe had LENTZ IN THE BLOCK-HOUSE. hardly begun to put this order in execution before it was countermanded, and the men had to be put back. Then part of a company of -the Ninety-First under Captain Lentz, and also a body of Berdan s sharpshooters were sent to him. Again the order came to withdraw, and again it was coun termanded by fast-riding aids-de-camp. The army was not yet quite over the river. The Lieutenant Colonel was ex ceedingly fearful these movements among the pickets would draw the attention of the enemy. It was a long time grow ing light, but now at length it was broad-day, when, not too soon, the order came to hasten to the bridges. The regi ment was hastily collected together. Lentz, with his men and the sharp-shooters, were to remain until the One Hun dred and Twenty-Sixth should begin to move down the road to town and then fall in as skirmishers 011 the flank and rear. All this was happily executed (with one oversight), and the regiment, double-quicking, entered the town, found the low er bridge taken away, hastened to the upper bridge, without stopping for the knapsacks which had been stored when about to proceed to the charge. This bridge had also been swung out into the river, but was now put back, and the regi ment crossed over to the other side. Then the bridge was again cut loose and Fredericksburg was abandoned by the Union army. The One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth was the last regiment to cross. But Captain Lentz with six of his men was in the block house. Lieutenant Bonsai! , of F, the officer sent to with draw the pickets and convey the orders to Lentz, had mistaken his lieutenant for him, and he was in utter ig norance of what was doing. Here he remained some time alone (he and his six men) of all the army, in front of the enemy. A rebel soldier, approaching cautiously, found six guns suddenly thrust out at him, and surren dered. Brought into the block-house he surprised Lentz with the news of the evacuation of Fredericksburg. Look- j 24 BACK IN CAMP. ing out he saw the Union line deserted and the rebels gathering towards the block-house. He left suddenly with his prisoner, down the steep hill, across the canal, through the edge ot the town, the other end of which was swarm ing with rebels, hid behind the abutment of the destroyed bridge, until a gallant little fellow, a drummer, swam across fora skiff, which, brought back, saved most of Lentz s party. The morning of the 16th the regiment breakfasted in the pine woods where it had bivouacked the night of the 12th, and after noon settled down in the former camp. It left camp with twenty-six officers and six hundred and six men, but company I, having been detached as hospital guard, did not participate in the action. A few days after the battle of Fredericksburg, the Rev. John Ault joined the regiment as Chaplain. He remained with it, however, only until the 18th of January, when the rnud-march was begun, at which time, being sick, he went home on leave, and did not rejoin the command again until it arrived at Harrisburg for muster-out. Until the mud- march the life in camp was monotonous and devoid of ex citement. The courts-martial of Lieutenants Cook and Hornbaker, of the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth, and af terwards of Colonels Frick and Armstrong, of the One Hun dred and Twenty-Ninth, which grew out of the dress-coat difficulty, alone gave any zest to it. Lieutenants Cook and Hornbaker left the regiment at Antietam after the battle, when the regiment was under orders to move, and went home, sick, with the Surgeon s leave but there was want of for mality in procuring the leaves of absence. Though both un doubtedly sick and wholly unfit for duty in the field, they failed to send to the headquarters of the regiment the cer tificates required by regulations and orders. They were ac cordingly found guilty and dismissed, and left as the com mand started on the mud-march. The dismissal of Lieuten ant Cook, upon a full presentation ot his case, was after- DRESS-COATS. 25 ^ K wards, and after the master out of the regiment, justly re voked by order of the President. It is to his credit, that being under arrest at the time of the battle of Fredericks- burg, he asked permission to have his sword and command restored in order to his taking part in the battle, which was refused. Lieutenant Hornbaker made no effort to have his sentence reversed, but subsequently entered the army as a private and effaced whatever stain there was upon his re cord, if any, by his death on the field of battle. The difficulty about the dress-coats, which was quite an episode in the life of tne regiment, was succinctly this: About the 10th of January, 1863, General Humphreys issued an order that all the men should draw dress-coats. Now, whatever clothing the men drew above a prescribed quantity, they were charged with, and they were alrea dy amply provided with blouses and warm under-cloth ing. Dress-coats were superfluous for comfort. This was represented to the Division General, but he clung to his caprice, and the men refused to take the coats. The regi mental and company commanders were placed in an awk ward position. The order was arbitrary, but it was imper ative. They finally refused to compel their men, and were placed in arrest. They were, in the end, forced to yield and made the necessary requisitions, and the men took the coats off their hands, but threw them away, and the only effect of the order was to subtract several dollars from each man s pay. The Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel of the One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth remained contumacious, were placed in arrest, tried and dismissed the service, but were restored again by the President, and wrote in their vindica tion a book called "Red Tape and Pigeon Hole Generals." But now the time had come for Burnside to move again. At 2J o clock, P. M., of Tuesday, the 20th of January, the brigade to which the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth was attached (Tyler s) marched out of camp and journeyed two , <?Z ;>(> THE MUD-MARCH. miles on the famous mud-march. Towards evening it be gan to rain and continued to rain all night, sometimes with much violence. The men were drenched; the roads were made dreadful. It rained the next day, during which the command made some four miles. On the 22nd, the brigade lay in a woods where it had encamped the night before. This day there was no forward movement. The afternoon was employed in making corduroy road. There was no thought of going ahead; how to get back was the question. Pontoon trains, wagons, guns, ammunition trains, encumber ed the roads. Horses and ramies were everywhere flounder ing in the mud. The soil, though tenacious, was with out bottom. The supply trains could not be brought up. The whole army, therefore, was put to corduroying. Regi ments could be seen coming across the country like moving groves, every man carrying a tree top. So Birmim Wood once came to Dunsinane. s "Let every soldier hew him down u bough, And bear t before him." Behind came others bearing the rails of rifled fences. The branches thrown into the mud made a bed for the rails. Whole woods were cut down and thrown into the road. On Frida}*, whiskey rations were issued to the command, and the same work was continued. At length, on Saturday, the 24th, the brigade marched back over the road it had helped to make to the former camp, and so the mud-march ended. Burnside after this resigned, and Hooker became command er of the Army of the Potomac. General Meade was assigned to the command of the Fifth Corps. For three months all grand military operations ceased. In this interval, however, the troops were constantly and en ergetically drilled and disciplined. The ranks were tilled up. Clothing was furnished, and excellent food in abun dance. A system of furloughs was instituted. From the 1st of February till the 1st of May, the regiment daily grew better in physique and morale. A NEW CAMP. On Monday, the 2d of February, Tyler s brigade was transferred from the camp it had hitherto occupied, near Falmouth, to another a mile or two further West, where were greater conveniences of wood and water. The new location was a very beautiful as well as advantageous one. The re giments were in the woods, on the sides of gently sloping hills, at the foot of which ran a stream of clear water. The One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth and One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth were placed side by side and over against the Ninety-First and One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth, on the other side of the stream. Brigade head-quarters were near by, on a bluff, amidst cedars. This camp was the home of the regiment during the remainder of its term of service. Three quiet months were passed here in picket and drill, and in spection and parade; in eating, sleeping, smoking; in going to camps, and hurdle-races and home (as to some); in draw ing rations and washing, and writing love-letters; in roll- calls and reviews; in camp and hospital guard, and burials of the dead with muffled drum. Among the occurrences of this time which excited a lively interest in the men of the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth regiment, was the presentation to General Tyler, by the men and officers of his brigade, of a magnificent young horse, named "Young Salem," of "Grey Eagle" stock, pure white, and superbly beautiful, bought in Ohio for a large sum, together with the necessary trappings and housings, and a splendidly mounted sword and spurs. The visit, also, of Governor Andrew G. Curtin, m March, and the subsequent review by General Polardi, a Swiss officer of rank, served to relieve the tedium of the days. About the 25th of February, Stuart pressed back our ca valry out-posts, which created some excitement in camp. The regiment was hastily forwarded to the picket line, and kept under arms all night a night which will remain long in the memories of the men on dutv. "It snowed and LIFE IX CAMP. blowed," said they upon their return, "and we marched in a circle all night long through the snow and mud to keep warm." .The 22d of February was duly observed by the firing of cannon in the morning, which, naturally enough, was mis taken at first for a fierce attack by the enemy. But the re pose at head-quarters, and the absence of gay Aids hurrying with sharp messages, quieted all such apprehensions. On this anniversary of the birth of Washington, celebrated by the Army of the Potomac, in the midst of a great war for the Union which he founded, an echo in every soldier s breast responded to the loud acclaims of the deep-mouthed cannon. At Head- Quarters of the Regiment: On the 25th of Feb ruary, Lieutenant Colonel Rowe was made President of a court-martial and military commission which sat at the head-quarters of Allabach s brigade, and remained on this special duty until the 17th of March, when he took com mand of the brigade for ten days. During this period, Cap tain Andrew E. Davison, the senior captain present, com manded the regiment. On the 31st of March, Cfcptain Rob ert S. Brownson, of Company C, was mustered in as Ma jor, and assumed command as such. Adjutant John Stew art was appointed by General Humphreys, on the llth of April, Commissary of Musters for the Third Division, Fifth Corps, and Lieutenant George F. Platt acted as Adjutant thereafter. In April, Assistynt Surgeon Grube was trans ferred to the Sixth Corps. B. B. Ilenshey, the Hospital Steward, having been discharged on account of disability, on the 1st of the same month, Lewis Keyser was appointed to fill his place. Nugent, resting from the amputations and dressings of Fredericksburg, and the Assistant Surgeon, Swift, dealt out, at the hour of the Surgeon s call, the daily portions of quinine and calomel; while ISTill, the Quarter master, and his aids, Allison and Kinsler, (what time the LIKE IN CAMP. reveille had summoned the men from their downless couches to the labors of the day,) devoted themselves assiduously to the diurnal duty of issuing hard-tack and pork. The Ser geant Major, Ziegler, was busy in the Adjutant s quarters with the morning reports, or flitting about the camp with unwelcome details for picket or guard. Miller and Dono van, and their comrade musicians, were ever and anon, throughout the day, sounding their too-accustomed calls; and Tommy Daily and Kauffrnan, the color-sergeants, at the hour of dress-parade, brought out the colors which they carried so gallantly up the heights of Fredericksbnrg, and which they were destined to wave so lightly in the face of the enemy in the dark woods about Chancellorsville. In the Companies : In February, Captain William H. Da- vison was appointed Assistant Inspector General on the Staff of General Tyler, and detached thenceforth until the muster out of the regiment. The command of the compa ny devolved on Lieutenant James Pott; the First Lieuten ant, Henry M. Hoke, having been made Division Ordnance Officer in October, 1862, and detached on the staff of Gene ral Humphreys. On the promotion of Brownson, James P. M Cullough was advanced to Captain from First Lieu tenant, to which he had been promoted on the discharge of Hornbaker. The First-Lieutenancy remained vacant. Lieu tenant Trout, in command of a detachment of thirty men, was on duty at the General Hospital, Stoneman s Switch, from the 16th of January till the 16th of March. John H. Reed resigned the captaincy of company D in January, and Josiah C. Hollinger was its commander subsequently, with Platt as First Lieutenant and McCauley as Second. All the officers of company H were absent on account of wounds for two months succeeding the battle of Fredericksbnrg, and in the interval of their absence, Lieutenant Walker, of E, first, and afterwards Lieutenant McWilliams, of F, was as signed to the command of that company. Benjamin F. LIFE IX CAMP. Zook was made Second Lieutenant of company G in the place of Harry Fortescue, mourned by his company. Lieu tenant Rovve commanded A. R. Davison s company while the latter had charge of the regiment, and John W. P. Reid was tor a while Ambulance Officer. Company A was kept small by details from it, and Doebler was much missed by his men, but his absence was not regretted more by them than by Welsh and McLenegan, his Lieutenants. Captain William W. Walker, enjoying a better fortune than most others, obtained from General Hooker a leave of absence for twenty days for the benefit of his health, and hied him off to Waynesboro , leaving George Walker and Brenneman to look after company E. This was before the epoch of "leaves" and furloughs. George L. Miles and McCurdy were accus tomed, in these peaceful times, to take a quiet delight in ex ercising their men in the manual of arms; and while Martin of I watched with fatherly care over his men, and Davis amused himself with the drill, the honest Lieutenant Degan enjoyed himself often on extra and special duty. Lieutenant Bon sail, of Captain Wharton s company, was in arrest from the time of the battle of Fredericksburg un til the 29th of January, on the following charge and specifi cation : Charge: Failure to deliver orders entrusted to him by his com manding officer for delivery. Specification: In this, that he, the said Lieutenant James C. Bonsall, of company F, One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers, whilst his company and regiment were on picket duty to the front and left of Fredericksburg, having been order ed by Lieutenant Colonel D. Watson Howe, the officer com manding his regiment, to communicate an order of Brigadier General Humphreys to the commanding officer of the Berdan Sharp-shooters, and to the commanding officer of a company of the Ninety-First Pennsylvania Infantry, on the picket line held by the said One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth regiment, in rela tion to the withdrawal of the said sharp-shooters and the said company of the Ninety-First, did fail to deliver said order to the commanding officer of the said company. This at or about 6 o clock A. M., of the 16th day of December, 1862. 1 \. A COURT-MARTIAL. f This charge was tried by a court-martial, and Lieutenant Bonsall was not found wholly blameless, but was restored to duty. His duties during the entire night of the 15th were of an arduous and dangerous character, being constantly sent with orders along the picket line, withdrawing and re placing the men; yet he performed them with fidelity and alacrity. The blame principally attached, in the opinion of the Court-Martial, to the officer ot Lentz s party to whom Bonsall communicated the order, after asking for the officer commanding the party, and being referred to him as such, and who failed to notify his captain of its reception; and they found him guilty and inflicted upon him a sentence of extraordinary severity. This, however, General Humphreys did not approve. In consequence of the failure to receive Colonel Howe s order, Lentz and his men were in great dan ger, and some of them were captured, as before narrated. Many other things occurred in this interval between the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, which it would be pleasant to relate, but the limits of a brief Sketch forbid. The Changes in the Rank and File of the Companies: "Who, among the thousand men, was killed; who was wounded; who nobly died; who meanly deserted; who was discharged or taken prisoner; who was promoted and who reduced, will be found in the following pages in a compact shape. In the List of Casualties are gathered the heroes of the battles. But not all of them; for many brave men escaped unharm ed too many to be mentioned by name. Many gallant deeds of officers and men must remain unwritten, to be told and talked of by the cheerful fire of a winter s night; and many interesting stories and laughable incidents and, per haps, some pitiful tales, like that of Susan S. Edrington, the sweet young lady of seventeen summers, who died on the picket line must be reserved for those private recitals. In this Sketch a simple chain of occurrences has been MARCH TO CHANCELLORSVILLE. forged, each link of which, like a morning drum-beat to a spectral army, will call up before the minds of the participants in the scenes described, a thousand departed and long-forgotten associations connected with bivouac and battle. On Monday, "the 27th of April, Lieutenant Colonel Howe received orders to be ready to move the regiment at 12 M., and at that hour the march was taken up for Chancellors- ville. The effective of the regiment was twenty-nine offi cers and live hundred and seventy-seven men; but Captain W. W. Walker s company having been detailed for guard duty, was temporarily detached -from the regiment, decreas ing its strength by three officers and fifty-six men. Pro ceeding up the river on Monday and Tuesday, the Rappa- hannock was crossed on Wednesday, at Kelly s Ford, by means of pontoons. Crossing Mountain creek the same eve ning and halting long in the darkness of the night, on Thursday, the 30th, the Rapidan was passed at Ely s Ford. It was an inspiring sight the crossing of the Rapidan. The long column moving clowh into the swift river, stretching across and far up the long and gentle ascent on the south ern side; the men wading arm-pit deep, clothes and car tridge boxes swinging on the bayonets of the guns held well up in the air. Having encamped over night in a wood of thick-standing pines, on the 1st of May, (Friday,) the direct road to Chancellorsville was taken, and shortly before noon the regiment, with the brigade, was massed by the side of the Chancellor House, a solitary large brick dwelling, on an open clearing of some three hundred .yards in extent each way, in the margin of the Wilderness, which constitutes Chancellorsville. Precisely at 12 M., the first gun of the great, fight opened. Three roads run east from Chancel lorsville towards Fredericksburg: on the right, the plank road; to its left, the turnpike, uniting with the former at Tabernacle Church; still to the left, and not far from the /> I ^6 N BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVJLLE. 33 $ river, a road leading to Bank s Ford. Slocum s corps took the plank road, Sykes division the turnpike, and Meade, with Griffin s and Humphreys divisions, advanced on the river road for five miles and came within sight of Bank s Ford. Thus this ford was uncovered and a position obtained out of the Wilderness on a commanding ridge. As sud denly as unaccountably the three columns were ordered back. Tyler s brigade hastened back at the double-quick the whole distance to Chancellorsville, and came in just as Sykes was arriving, skirmishing hotly with the enemy who had followed him closely. Tyler was just able to get in without becoming engaged. On Friday evening, the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth, with the brigade, lay quite near the Chancellor House, being on the left of the line of bat tle, which stretched along the Orange plank road, west ward about four miles. On Saturday, Humphreys was mov ed back near to the Rappahannock, to the vicinity of Scott s Dam, and held a formidable position there on high and steep bluffs, which he lined with artillery. Here the One Hun dred and Twenty-Sixth lay during Saturday and Saturday- night, whilst Jackson made his famous onslaught on the Elev enth and Twelfth Corps. The enemy occasionally showed himself on this part of the line, but made no attack or ad vance. Early on Sunday morning, however, Tyler s bri gade was moved down from the heights which it held, and hurried to the right. Along the road lay the Eleventh Corps greatly shattered, ready to occupy the position evac uated. About eight o clock Tyler reached the open ground and the road running from Chancellorsville to Ely s Ford, and prepared at once for action. In the hasty march to the right, about thirty men of the regiment had seized the op portunity to drop out among the men of the Eleventh Corps, and the Lieutenant Colonel commanding having ordered the rolls to be called, four hundred and ninety men only L 34 BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSYILLE. responded to their names; but they were to be relied upon, and the regiment was still comparatively large. Shortly the order came to move into position in the line of battle, and Lieutenant Colonel Webb, of General Meade s staff across the open space swept by the batteries, down into the dense woods a good distance led the brigade and placed it on the right of General French, whom it was to support, and under his orders. Captain W. W. Walker s company having been detached as before-mentioned, did not participate in the ac tion, but a few of its men went in with Win. II. Davison s company. The brigade was just getting into position on the right of French, (in the order from right to left of Ninety-First, One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth, One Hundred and Twenty- Sixth, and One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth,) when a scout brought word to Colonel Rowe, which was at once commu nicated to General Tyler, that the enem} 7 was hurrying masses to the right and would advance to the attack at once. At the same moment, almost, the brigade opened fire on the right, and in a few minutes the entire line was engaged. During the whole of this action the right of Tyler s brigade was "in the air." No troops whatever were in position on its right flank, and there was nothing to protect that Hank or prevent its being turned. The First Corps was not yet in place so as to join it. French, therefore, was on the left; nothing was on the right of this brigade. Stuart, now in command in place of Jackson, shot the night before was pushing his forces to Tyler s unprotected right, and beyond it. From the first the firing of the brigade was very rapid. The enemy, in the dense woods and thicket, were not very clearly seen by the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth, nor did they for some time reply actively at this part of the line. Colonel Rowe, therefore, sent first the Sergeant Major, Ziegler, then Major Brownson, and at last went himself to ^u BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE. 2 General Tyler to inform him that the fire did not seem to be effective, and that the enemy appeared to await the time when the ammunition should be exhausted, for their charge stating that it was already very low and requesting that the firing should cease or at least slacken. But General Tyler, having the whole line and all its exigencies in view, ordered the firing to be kept up, saying "Your men are doing ex cellently, Colonel." At length, after more than an hour s hard work, the ammunition was spent, and the men were be ginning to rifle the cartridge-boxes of the dead and wound ed to supply themselves. The enemy now evidently began to press forward more earnestly; their banners advanced through the woods; their fire began to tell fearfully on the ranks of the regiment. The gaps, however, were speedily closed, and the line was firm. The company officers were very diligent and active. Major Brownson, in the Lieuten ant Colonel s place on the right, and Captain A. R. Davi- son, acting Major, on the left, increased their exertions. Adjutant Stewart (now Division Commissary of Musters and detached, but participating in the action with the regi ment), and Acting Adjutant George F. Platt, aided Brown- son and Davison, respectively, with coolness and effect. Col onel Rowe was everywhere along the line with words of encouragement. But every moment it became more evi dent that unless ammunition arrived soon, the line could not long be held. Colonel Rowe was cut in the cheek with a rifle- ball. Major Brownson s clothes were pierced with bullets. Lieutenant J. Gilmore Rowe, commanding company K, was borne from the field badly wounded in the head. Captain Walker of H was struck. Men were falling all along the line. On the right, company C had lost full one-fourth of the men McCullough took in. Company I, on the left, had. suffered nearly as much, and company H even more severely. Gene ral Tyler now sent word that ammunition was not to be had after repeated endeavors; that General French s orders were BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE. to retire in as good order as possible when the ammunition should be entirely exhausted. Still the enemy pressed harder and harder in front. Such w r as the state of affairs in the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth, when Stuart, having turned the right of the brigade and taken it in reverse, was pouring down his troops on the right and rear, filling all the woods. The Ninety- First regiment was first struck, and to avoid capture fell back. Then in turn the One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth, next in line to the right, gave wa}^. This left the right flank of the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth exposed. To change front in that dense thicket was impossible, even if the im petuous charge which the regiment was now sustaining in front would have permitted. The line was held, however, till the last minute till the rebels on the flank were within forty yards; then, from right to left, the line melted away in the thick woods, and emerging upon the cleared space beyond, re-formed behind the battery. Lieutenants Fletcher and McCauley, and Sergeant Lesher, with a number of men, became mixed with the enemy and were captured. The re bels pressed closely after to the edge of the clearing and showed themselves on the open ground, but the guns open ing upon them with grape and canister, they speedily dis appeared in the shadow of the forest. The same fate with the other regiments befell the One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth, which stood on the left of the line next to French s men. In its turn it was swept back, but so mingled did its men become with the enemy that there w r as a hand to hand tussle for the colors, which, how ever, were safely borne off at last. Having re-formed be hind the battery, which stood near the small white house along the road to Ely s Ford, the regiment remained there in support of it, until the First Corps got well into their position on the right of the line, when it was withdrawn with the rest of the brigade back from the road, a short dis- N* HOMEWARD BOUND. 37 into the woods, where it remained until the return movement began. The night of May the 5th, (Tuesday,) was a hard and gloomy one. It rained violently. The commissary stores were burnt. The army was falling back across the river. Again all sacrifices had been in vain. The men lay or sat about all night long awaiting momentarily the order to move to the rear. It came at daylight. In the forenoon of the 6th, the swollen stream was crossed on pontoons at United States Ford, and after a fatiguing march of twelve miles, through deep mud, the site of the old camp, whence the regiment started on the Chancellorsville campaign, was reached, and it was done with marching and fighting. A quiet week in camp succeeded the battle of Chancel lorsville. The term of service of the regiment was about to expire. General Tyler assembled it, and publicly extolled the conduct of the men in both the great actions in which they participated. Tuesday, the 12th of May, was a day of leave-taking in camp. There was a great visiting among the regiments, and the General s quarters were crowded all day. At six o clock in the morning of Wednesday, May 13, 1863, the regiment took cars at Stoneman s Station for Aquia Landing, and ceased to belong to the Army of the Poto mac. At Aquia, the boat Warner lay ready to convey the men to Washington, where, after a beautiful ride up the Potomac, they arrived, and went to the Soldiers Retreat, blessing, all the way, James Watt and those who helped him bring about, for purposes of locomotion, the substitution of steam and iron for human will and muscle. The next fore noon the cars carried them to Baltimore. At dark they con tinued their homeward journey to Harrisburg. At 7 o clock in the morning of Friday, the 15th, the regiment marched, with drums beating and flags flying, through Harrisburg to Camp Curtin. The comrades, free from restraint, gay and happy, enjoyed themselves about the town or in the camp, HOME AGAIN. for several days, while the officers were busy with the prepa ration of the muster-out rolls. At length, on Wednesday, the 20th of May, the companies were mustered out of ser vice, the men received their pay and discharges, and, with cordial hand-shakings, separated and started home. The companies from Juniata were welcomed at Mifflntowh, and those from Franklin county received a great ovation at Chambersburg. Each town and township beside gave a separate reception to its own peculiar company. 7- APPENDIXES. t x $ FIRST APPENDIX. pENERAL, j, |B.

We marched from our bivouac on the morning of the 13th instant, with the Ninety-First.Pennsylvania Infantry twenty-three officers and four hundred and one men; the One Hundred and Thirty- Fourth Pennsylvania Infantry twenty-four officers and five hun dred and eighteen men; the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Penn sylvania Infantry twenty-six officers and six hundred and six men; and the One Hundred and Twenty -Ninth Pennsylvania Infantry twenty-six officers and five hundred and seventy-five men; making a total of ninety-nine officers and two thousand one hundred enlisted men. From the time we left camp until we were ordered into action, no opportunity was afforded the regimental commanders to have further calls, but such efforts were made to prevent straggling as to induce me to believe that with the exception of the regimental details of twelve men in charge of knapsacks [and Captain Martin s company of the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth, detailed as hospi tal guard, numbering two officers and sixty-three men,] my brigade took its full duty strength into the action. v &* 4:2 TYLER S REPORTS. A list of the casualties of the different regiments, prepared with great care, I herewith send you^ making my total loss four officers and forty-six men killed, twenty-nine officers and two hundred and ninety-four men wounded, and eighty-three men missing. Of the latter I have good reason to believe a large majority were either killed or severely wounded. The position first assigned us was on the right of the plank-road, subjected to an enfilading fire from the enemy s batteries on the crest of the hill beyond. Our loss at this point is accounted for as "miss ing in action." Being almost immediately ordered across the road into the engagement, we were unable to account for them otherwise. I was delayed somewhat in the formation of a double line of bat tle on the left of the road by the constant passing of limbers to the front and rear, and the deep mud along the line indicated to form on. As soon, however, as the formation was complete, the order to sound the charge was given, the caution having been previously communicated to the command not to fire a gun until orders were received from me. The brigade moved forward in as good order as the muddy condi tion of the ground on. the left of my line would admit, until we came upon a body of officers and men lying flat upon the ground in front of the brick house and along the slight elevation on its right and left. Upon our approach, these officers commanded "Halt!" flourishing their swords as they lay, while a number of their men en deavored to intimidate our troops, crying out that we would be slaughtered, and the like. An effort was made to get them out of the way but failed, and we marched over them, and when within a very short distance of the enemy s line a fire was opened on our rear, which wounded a few of our most valuable officers and, I re gret to say, killed some of our men. Instantaneously, the cry ran along the line that we were being fired into from the rear. The command halted, receiving at the same time a terrible fire from the enemy. Orders for the moment were forgotten, and a fire from our whole line was immediately returned. Another cry passed along the line, that we were being fired upon from the rear, when our men, after giving the enemy several volleys fell back. It will be impossible for me in this report to mention the many acts of heroism on that bloody field, but it is due the officers and men to state that they performed their duties well, and they need no higher encomium than to know that their conduct on the field was highly complimented by their Division and Grand Division Com manders. TYLER S REPORTS. Colonel O Brien, One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth, led the right front; Colonel Frick, One Hundred ancj Twenty-Ninth, the left. Colonel Elder, One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth, held the right rear, and Colonel Gregory, Ninety-First, the left rear. These officers dis charged their respective duties creditably and satisfactorily, their voices being frequently heard above the din of battle, urging on their men against the terrible shower of shot and shell and, last but not least, the terrific musketry as we approached the stone wall. Of their conduct, I can not speak too highly. Lieutenant Colonel Rowe, Lieutenant Colonel Armstrong and Major Anthony, and Ma jor Thompson, are entitled to great credit for their efforts and officer- like conduct during the engagement. Colonel Elder received a serious wound, (fracture of the thigh) and was carried off the field, Lieutenant Colonel Rowe assuming command. Colonel Gregory received a very slight wound in the hand. Major Tod, of the Ninety -First, lost his right leg from a shell just before the charge was sounded. I fear it will cost him his life. He was a brave and valuable officer. Adjutant Reed, of the One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth, received a serious wound in the thigh, whilst at the head of his regiment. Lieutenant Colonel Armstrong had a horse shot under him. Adjutant Green f of the One-Hundred and Twenty-Ninth, exhibited great coolness in the discharge of his duty. Captains Leib, Taylor, Breokenridge, Lawrence, Hague, Lyon, Walker, M Cready, and Doebler, -were very severely wounded, and Colonel O Brien had a very narrow escape a ball passing through his saddle from front to rear directly under him. It may not be improper for me to say that Captain Thomas, Acting Inspector General on the staff of the Division Commander, having his horse shot and thus prevented from serving him, joined his com pany in the One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth, and was severely wounded while leading his men in the charge. I desire to call the particular attention of the Commanding Gene ral to the accompanying reports from the regimental commanders relative to the creditable conduct of the officers and men of their re spective regiments. I take pleasure in being able to report that the Medical Depart ment of the command was well and ably conducted, and although a number of medical officers were absent, our wounded were well and promptly attended to, under the personal supervision of the Acting Medical Director, Dr. M Kinney, assisted by Acting Brigade Surgeon, Nugent. Colonel M. S. Quay, late of the One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth was upon my staff as Volunteer Aid-de-camp, and to him I am 9 c TYLER S REPORTS. greatly indebted. Notwithstanding his enfeebled health, he was in the saddle early and late, ever prompt and efficient, and especially so during the engagement. To my staff, who were with me, Cap tain H. C. Ranney, A. A. G., and Lieutenant J. B. Diehl, A. D. C., do I owe much for their promptness and untiring efforts during the entire six days and nights we were under arms. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant (Signed) E. B. TYLEK, lli lf/adier General Commanding, GENERAL p. B. TYLER S REPORT ( >F THE PART TAKEN BY HIS BRIGADE IN THE BATTLE OF ( HANCELLORSVILLE. HEADQUARTERS FIRST BRIGADE, ^ THIRD DIVISION, FIFTH CORPS, CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, VIRGINIA, May 10th, 1863. j CAPTAIN CARS LJ, M CLELLAN, Assistant Adjutant General, Third Division: CAPTAIN: I have the honor to transmit herewith a list of the casualties of my command in the action of the 3d inst, and also to submit the following report of the part taken by my brigade in that en gagement : About nine o clock, A. M., I received an order from Major Gene ral Meade to put my command in motion and go to the support of General French; Lieutenant Colonel Webb to indicate the position we were to occupy. That officer in person pointed out the line we were to take possession of, directly in the face of the enemy and on the right of General French s command in the woods. The regiments were scarcely in position until the enemy opened tire upon us, which w r as promptly and effectively returned by our men. I saw at once that the enemy out-numbered us, as they were in double lines and extended beyond our right. I immediately asked for reinforcements, but was informed that they could not be furnished. Colonel Webb, who had remained in front for some mo ments, started back promising to bring up reinforcements if he could obtain them, but he returned in a short time without them. The rapid and incessant fire of our men prevented the enemy from advancing, although they made several efforts to do so. Holding our position nearly or perhaps quite an hour, reports reached me that 4(j TYLER S REPORTS. our ammunition was being exhausted, many of the men supplying themselves from the bodies of the dead and wounded. About this time I discovered the enemy were receiving reinforcements. Anoth er double line was plainly seen advancing and extending further to our right. I sent for ammunition twice without being able to ob tain it. (As I afterwards understood it had not come up from the rear. ) I reported the fact to General French with the further infor mation that the ciuMiiy were pressing us and asked for orders. He replied that he could not furnish me with ammunition, and to retire in as good order as T could when we should have exhausted what we had. The moment our fire slackened, the enemy pushed forward with at least twice our numbers. As near as I can tell we were in posi tion from an hour to an hour and three-quarters before we were forced to retire. During this time the whole line was under my eye and I have to say that I never saw; officers and men behave with more bravery and coolness than did the entire command. The offi cers were very active and I saw many of them aiding the men by preparing their cartridges for the guns. The field officers were pass ing up and down the lines encouraging their men with great spirit and coolness. > The Ninety-First regiment was on our right and received the first fire of the enemy. They are entitled to great credit for their con duct during the action. Colonel Gregory received a slight wound early in the engagement and left the field, yet the men kept well at their work under Lieutenant Colonel Sinex. The One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth, Colonel O Brien, was second in line, and no set of men could have behaved better. The officers, one and all, following the example of their Colonel (who was constantly on the alert) were very active and not a man shirked his duty. The One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth, Lieutenant Colonel Howe, was third in line, and for earnest, spirited work they could not be ex celled. Colonel Ro\ve exhibited the true characteristics of a soldier brave, cool and determined, and his spirit was infused into every officer and soldier of his command. The One Hundred and Twenty- Ninth was on our left, and no man ever saw cooler work on field drill than was done by this regiment. Their firing was grand, by rank, by company, and by wing, in perfect order. Colonel Frick s stentorian voice was heard above the roar of musketry, and with the aid of his Lieutenant Colonel and Major his regiment was splendidly handled, doing their duty well. Too much credit cannot be given the officers and men of the bri gade. Not a single neglect came under my notice dnring the en gagement. The colors of the different regiments show that they , c TYLER S REPORTS. 8 were carried well to the front, and I saw them defiantly waived in the fare of the enemy. The officers of my Steff, Captains H. C. Ranney and William H. Davison, Lieutenants Diehl and Tyler, rendered me every assistance in their power under an incessant fire. Among the officers seriously wounded I have with regret to men tion Major Anthony of the One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth, a true soldier and a dutiful officer. Lieutenant Colonels Howe and Shaw were slightly wounded, as was Lieutenant Diehl, Aid-de-camp. T have the honor to be, very respectfully Your obedient servant (Signed) E. B.
