But for his methodical and in dustrious habits we should not have had the daily record of our movements, marches, fights, and bivouacs, which compose the " Itinerary " of this volume. But for his generous and sympathetic devotion it is a question whether we would have had our Regimental Association; and whether this History would ever have been more than thought of. Cut off in his prime, he bequeathed to us the bulk of what is contained in this book. What that re presents in toil and research cannot be fully understood by those who have not engaged in similar work. There fore much of the credit for the publication of the History must be bestowed upon him. In 1901 the Executive Committee of the Regimental Association authorized the formation of a Publication Committee whose duty it should be to take up and finish the work so nearly completed by Comrade Grier. This the Committee has done to the best of its ability. The Publication Fund has never been large enough to defray the cost of a volume worthy of the Regiment. With the aid, however, of the State Commission created to encourage the publication of Regimental histories, the Committee is at last enabled to print this book in suit able form. TIMOTHY M. I .UYAN Colonel 1st h l n. Cavalry 18<>:j-<>4 Tm:<>. F. KoDKNuorcii Colonel l.stli I M. Cavnlrv -1S(}." HISTOEIOAL SKETCH. IfVEH .. HISTORICAL SKETCH. By Brigadier-General T. F. RODENBOUGH, U. S. Army. Late Colonel 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry. IN accordance with the traditional policy of the United States to "take no thought for the morrow" in matters relating to the National Defense, upon the out break of the Civil War, the Government was compelled to send into the field large numbers of untrained men under inexperienced officers. Thus the Eighteenth Regiment of Cavalry, Pennsylvania Volunteers (One hundred and sixty-third Regiment of the Line), was composed of companies recruited under the call of the President of the United States (July 2, 1862), in the counties of Greene (A, C and G) ; Crawford (B and D) ; Dauphin (E) ; Washington (F) ; Allegheny (H) ; Lycoming (I) ; Cambria (K) ; Philadelphia and Montgomery (L and M) during the fall and winter of 1862. These companies were mustered into the service of the United States (excepting L and M), at Camp Simmons, near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, at various dates between August and November of that year. The material, of which this organization was composed, represented in part, the patriotic sons of the Keystone State, but also included a number of " substitutes" some of whom rendered faithful service, while others were pro fessional " bounty jumpers" whose interests were purely commercial and who availed themselves of the first op portunity to desert their colors; this accounts for the frequent occurrence of the entry " deserted " on the company rolls. Early in December, the new organization was moved to vicinity of Bladensburg, near Washington, D. C., and as 14 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. far as practicable the men were drilled in the "school of the soldier," and in customs of service. They were armed with a saber and an inferior carbine (MerrilPs), compara tively worthless in the hands of a well trained cavalryman, but a source of discouragement and serious embarrassment to the recruits, of which the regiment was largely composed. On Christmas Day the first mounted drill was held. On New Year s Day, 1863, camp was moved to the Virginia end of the Long Bridge over the Potomac, and a fortnight later to Germantown, two miles from Fairfax Court House, on the Little River Turnpike. At that point (Feb. 1) companies L and M joined the regiment, and the organization was com pleted with the following officers: Colonel Timothy M. Bryan, Jr., Lieutenant Colonel James E. Gowen; Majors, Joseph Gilmore, William B. Darlington and Henry B. Van Voorhis. First Lieutenant George Nieman appointed Adjutant (Nov. 25). Colonel Bryan was an officer of the Regular Army and a graduate of West Point. He did not assume command until the following May. About the middle of January the command went into winter quarters " log cabins with roofs of duck and chimneys built of wood and plastered with mud 7 ; com fortable shelters for the horses corduroy floors and pine- bough roofs were also provided. But little opportunity to rest was enjoyed by the troopers. Scouting in a region with which they were unfamiliar, poorly armed and op posed by guerrilla bands of skilled horsemen, " to the manor born," it is not to be wondered at that, for six months, surprises of Union outposts and captures of pickets were frequent; occasionally, however, the tables were turned, as witness an entry in an officer s diary: "Jan. 27. Scouting party sent out and returns in the evening with twenty-eight prisoners." All this, however, was in the nature of a dress HISTORICAL SKETCH. 15 rehearsal. The men were being hammered into shape for the more important conflicts pending of the campaigns of 63 and 64. The spring was well advanced before they were armed with new revolvers and sabers (April 3), and it was late in June before a more serviceable carbine (Burn- side) was issued to the regiment. When not on picket or a scout, mounted drill and guard duty rilled up the time. Nevertheless, this first exposure to the hardships of the field during that winter of 1862-3 carried as many men to their graves as were lost during any other similar period of the regiment s service. On March 1, Lieut. -Colonel Gowen resigned and was succeeded by Captain William P. Brinton, 2d Pennsylvania Cavalry. The 18th Pennsylvania, together with the 5th New York, 1st Vermont and 1st West Virginia were at first brigaded under the command of Colonel Percy Wyndham, but early in the spring the brigade was assigned with a brigade of Michigan troops to a division, afterward designated the Third Division, Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac. The new division under General Julius Stahel left camp at Fairfax C. H. and crossing the Potomac proceeded to Frederick, Md., and Middletown. Here Stahel was relieved by Brigadier General Judson Kilpatrick; the First Brigade, to which the 18th belonged, was commanded by Brigadier General Elon J. Farnsworth, formerly colonel of the 8th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry. General Kilpatrick reached Littlestown June 29 and Hanover, Pa., on the 30th. The 18th was this day part of the rear guard of General Kilpatrick s column, and, while halting in the streets of Hanover, was suddenly attacked by the head of Stuart s column, which was moving on a road nearly parallel to that on which General Kilpatrick had just 16 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. passed. The 18th was thrown into momentary confusion but, soon rallying, delivered a counter-charge, in conjunc tion with the 5th New York, and rapidly drove the enemy back to the cover of his artillery. The sound of his guns brought General Kilpatrick to the front. He formed line on the hills west of the town, the 18th occupying the town, and barricading the streets. Artillery firing and skirmish ing were kept up until dark, when the enemy retired. The regiment lost three men killed, twenty-four wounded, and fifty-seven missing. On the 1st of July the division moved to Berlin, returning the next day through Abbottstown and New Oxford to the rear of the Confederate left wing, where a brief skirmish with the enemy s cavalry occurred. In the evening the brigade, including Elder s Horse Battery, U. S. Artillery, accompanied by the division commander, moved by the rear of the Union line at Gettysburg to the extreme left near Round Top, and next day in conjunction with the Reserve Brigade, under General Merritt took position across the Emmittsburg road, threatening the enemy s right, Hood s infantry division, under General Law. The effect of this demonstration was to put Law s infantry on the defensive and to prevent him from supporting the movement of Pickett upon the Union center. The enemy at this point occupied a very strong position, the ground sloping down toward the Union line covered with large rocks and cut up by stone walls; it was impracticable for mounted men. General Kilpatrick s command (Farnsworth and Merritt s brigades) dismounted, kept up a brisk carbine fire until 4.30 P. M., when, despite the earnest protests of General Farnsworth, who realized the foolhardiness of the attempt, General Kilpatrick ordered a charge by the First Brigade (Farnsworth s). The regiments of the brigade responded HISTORICAL SKETCH. 17 gallantly, but soon lost cohesion upon striking the first line of stone walls; a few of the best horsemen, with their intrepid leader, managed to penetrate the enemy s skirmish line, but the greater part were either captured or fell under the infantry fire. Among these last was the heroic Elon J. Farnsworth a victim to a senseless order. In this movement the brigade advanced in three lines. The 18th in the third line pushed forward through the timber and over boulders until confronted with the 1st Texas Infantry behind a low stone wall which prevented the further progress of the cavalry. General Law says: "The leading squadrons forcing their horses up to the very muzzles of the rifles of our infantry/ As the two opposite forces were for the moment intermixed the 18th was able to withdraw with but trifling loss. The Union cavalry opera tions at this part of the field at this time were of the highest tactical value second in importance only to Buford s operations on the morning of the first day of the great battle. The regimental casualties at Gettysburg were one killed, five wounded and sixteen missing. General Kilpatrick moved early on the morning of the 4th towards Maryland, passing through Emmittsburg, and by the flank of Lee s army, striking EwelPs wagon-train at midnight, near Monterey Springs, as it was crossing South Mountain. He immediately charged, scattering the train guard, captured two pieces of artillery, a number of prison ers, wagons and ambulances. At daylight the foot of the mountain was reached, and the wagons which were still upon wheels were driven into park at Smithfield and burned. Early in the day the brigade moved to Hagerstown, where the head of the ene my s column was met. Immediately deploying column, 18 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. General Kilpatrick ordered a charge of two battalions of the 18th, commanded by Captain William R. Lindsey, and Captain John W. Phillips, and led by Lieut. -Colonel William P. Brinton, commanding the regiment, accompanied by Captain Ulric Dahlgren, A. D. C. The enemy was driven through the town, and the colonel of the 10th Virginia Cavalry was taken prisoner ; but the squadrons lost heavily, in consequence of having to face, with sabers, in a narrow street, an enemy who was using carbines. Captain Dahl gren lost a leg. Captain Lindsey was killed. The color- bearer of Company A was shot dead, but fell upon his face and died holding fast to the guidon. Sergeant Joseph Brown of Company B was shot by a woman, who fired from a window after he had passed. The town was occupied in turn during the day by troops of both parties, and skirmishing and artillery firing was kept up. In the afternoon the enemy advanced his infantry, which had arrived in some force. A squadron (L and M) of the 18th, under Captain E. J. Penny packer was ordered to charge into the town to test the enemy s strength. Gal lantly this devoted band responded, and dashed into the heart of the place ; but few of its numbers returned, as the enemy had occupied the cross streets and now closed in behind them. Captain Pennypacker s horse w r as killed, he was severely wounded and Lieutenants Laws and Potter were captured. The casualties for the day were eight killed, twenty-one wounded and fifty-nine missing. The enemy was closely pursued by the First and Third Divisions, having frequent skirmishes with Stuart s Cavalry which aided the Confederate infantry in making good their crossing into Virginia ; sharp actions occurred at Boonsboro Williamsport, Falling Waters, and Amissville, and again at Hagerstown, but without casualties in the regiment. HISTORICAL SKETCH. 19 About the middle of the month the division crossed the Potomac, and during the fall was actively engaged in scouting and skirmishing. On September 13th the division crossed the Rappahan- nock at Kelly s Ford and pressed the enemy back toward Culpeper C. H. capturing three guns and a number of prisoners. Lieutenant David T. McKay reported missing. Again on the llth of October, near Brandy Station, in a sharp engagement Major Van Voorhis was wounded severely and together with Lieutenants James R. Weaver, S. H. Tresonthick, Harry Wilson and thirty-two men was captured. On the 19th of the same month, the com mand was engaged at Buckland Mills, when, after driving the enemy toward New Baltimore, it found itself surrounded by a superior force, but succeeded in cutting its way out with small loss of men, and Captain John Britton wounded. On November 18th in the absence of the greater part of the regiment on a scout, the regimental camp was attacked by a large force of cavalry (said to be part of Hampton s command) and after a stout resistance by the camp guard, in which Second Lieutenant Roseberry Sellers was killed and Captain M. S. Kingsland wounded, Asst.-Surgeon Geo. W. Withers and forty men (including the sick) and eighty horses, a number of tents, etc., fell into the hands of the enemy. The regimental standard (which had been left in camp) was included in the spoils. The report of the brigade commander (General Davies), published elsewhere, exonerates the officer in command of the camp from all blame and commends him for gallant conduct on this occasion. The regimental standard was found in the State House in Richmond at the surrender, and 20 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. is preserved under glass in the Museum of the Military Service Institution at Governor s Island, N. Y.* On the evening of February 28, 1864, the regiment was called out of winter quarters to accompany General Judson Kilpatrick on his raid upon Richmond to attempt the re lease of Union prisoners confined therein. For two weeks it was on the march, tearing up railroads and burning supply depots, suffering from exposure to weather and engaged in frequent skirmishes. The object of the campaign was only partly accomplished, and the gallant Captain Ulric Dahlgren, who led one detachment, was killed. After the return of the division General James H. Wilson succeeded General Kilpatrick, and Brig. -General John B. Mclntosh was assigned to the command of the brigade, which was now composed of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania, Fifth and Second New York, Second Ohio and First Connecticut regiments. In common with the remainder of the Cavalry Corps, the regiment was constantly called upon during the winter for heavy details for outpost and escort duty to the great in jury of that arm of the service and an inexcusable loss in horses. The advent of General Philip H. Sheridan, the new corps commander (April 6, 1864) marked the begin ning of a new era in the treatment of the mounted troops of the Army of the Potomac. In the general movement of the army, which commenced on the 4th of May, the 18th led the advance from Germania Ford to Wilderness Tavern, and pushing thence in the direction of Orange Court House, drove the enemy back to the neighborhood of Mine Run, where it bivouacked for the night. On the following morning it moved to the left of the Plank Road, and met the enemy s cavalry under General Rosser, a severe fight ensuing, which resulted in driving *See Frontispiece. HISTORICAL SKETCH. 21 him back on his infantry supports which were just then coming up the road in his rear, and which proved to be General Longstreet s corps. At four in the afternoon the enemy began to withdraw from the front of the Union cavalry and to move its left on a road which intersected that upon which the cavalry had advanced and the only avenue open for its escape. General Wilson immediately ordered the division to fall back, with the exception of the 18th, under command of Lieut.-Colonel Brinton, whom he directed to hold the ground keeping up a show of strength, for one-half hour, and then rejoin the column, if possible. That half hour seemed a long one to those gallant men, who stood in the presence of an entire corps of the rebel army and could see by the clouds of dust which marked its course that their only way of escape was being rapidly approached. Until the tune had fully elasped, they remained at their posts, and when the signal was given to retire, moved at once in hope of passing the threatened point before it was reached by the enemy. In this they were disappointed; for when the advance, un der Major Wm. B. Darlington, approached the junction, he found the enemy in strong force, dismounted and holding all approaches. The Major immedtately charged with his battalion, but was driven back by a cross-fire from behind stone fences. The Second Battalion, under Major John W. Phillips, was soon upon the ground, and also made a gallant charge, but was in like manner repulsed. At this moment Major Darlington fell severely wounded, and was left in the enemy s hands. He survived, with the loss of a leg, and was rescued by General Sheridan several days after, while on his way to Richmond, with other Union prisoners. The position of the regiment was now a perilous one. In the front the enemy lay in strong position; the road on the right 22 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. was filled with infantry; a battery commanded its position on the left ; and the rear was a pine thicket, apparently im passible for cavalry. The enemy seeing the regiment was cut off, commenced crossing to the road on which it had retreated, and forming in its rear. Its capture seemed in evitable. The only hope of escape was through the pines, and at a given signal the regiment plunged into the thicket, and by the most strenuous exertions succeeding in forcing its way through and across a swamp in the rear, gaining the open woods, where it could hold the enemy in check, but with the loss of three officers (Majors Phillips and W. B. Darlington and Captain Frederick Zarracher) and thirty- nine men killed, wounded and captured. At evening it joined the division in camp, near Old Wilderness Tavern, where it was received with marks of rejoicing, the entire regiment having been reported as captured. From the division headquarters a bottle of wine was sent to Colonel Brinton, on which was this inscription: "To the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, which knows how to fight into and how to fight out of a hard place." The Division Commander (General Jnmes H. Wilson) reporting this affair says: "The First Brigade in the meantime had been halted on the north side of Robertson Run, near the junction of the road from Parker s Store with the Catharpin Road. 7 * * * "It was now apparent that the rebel force was con siderably superior to ours, and being short of ammunition, I directed Chapman to fall back rapidly beyond the Meeting House, and reform in rear of the First Brigade. * * * I was informed by Colonel T. M. Bryan that the enemy had made his appearance at an early hour in the forenoon in his rear, on the road to Parker s Store, and that none of my couriers to General Meade had succeeded in getting through. HISTORICAL SKETCH. 23 Surprised at this, and fearing for the safety of my com mand, I immediately determined to withdraw, by a blind road toward Todd s Tavern, to Chancellorsville. I had scarcely taken this resolution when I perceived that the enemy were pushing rapidly down the Catharpin road in the same direction. The march was begun at once, the Second Brigade in advance, followed by the batteries and the First Brigade. The Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, Lieut.- Colonel W. P. Brinton commanding, was left to cover the rear. The main column crossed the Po near its head, and struck the Catharpin road just beyond Corbin s Bridge. It had scarcely got upon the road when the rebels made their appearance on the hill west of the bridge. I succeeded in reaching the road with my escort just in time to prevent being cut off. The rear guard found the road occupied by the enemy, but Colonel Brinton made three brilliant and determined charges, breaking the enemy s cavalry, but finding that he could not succeed in getting through with out heavy loss, he struck off to the left and joined the division late in the evening." On the 7th the regiment moved to the east and encamped near the outworks of Fredericksburg, and on the following day proceeded to Spottsylvania Court House, where the 18th charged into the place, then held by the enemy s dismounted cavalry, capturing fifty prisoners and driving his cavalry back upon his advancing infantry. On the 9th Major General Sheridan started upon an ex pedition with the entire Cavalry Corps to move around the right flank of Lee s Army, to get in its rear, at the same time to draw Stuart away from the front of the Army of the Potomac, and fight his cavalry wherever found. The ob jects of the movement were fully realized. Stuart s com mand was pressed back within the defenses of Richmond, 24 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. and at Yellow Tavern that famous chieftain was killed, and the capital of the Confederacy seriously menaced. Large quantities of commissary and medical supplies and railroad rolling stock were destroyed and 400 Linion prisoners released en route. In this exciting march, where the enemy disputed every mile, the regiment participated and finally on the 16th reached HaxalFs Landing, on the James, where supplies were obtained from General Butler. After a few days rest, Sheridan returned and re-joined the main body of the army near South Anna. On the 31st the cavalry crossed the Pamunky and moved up toward Hanover Court House, which was found in the possession of Generals Fitz Hugh Lee and Wickham, who held all the roads leading thereto. The outposts were immediately driven in, but finding the main body securely posted behind barricades of rails, a halt was ordered until evening, when the 18th Pennsylvania, sup ported by the 2d Ohio, was ordered to charge and clear the town. At twilight the charge was made, dismounted, and though opposed by vastly superior numbers, well cov ered by breastworks, the enemy was driven in utter rout and confusion, and many prisoners were taken. Lieutenant Colonel Brinton and Major Phillips, who led the charge, were both slightly and Captains M. S. Kingsland and David Hamilton severely wounded. Early on the following morning the command started in pursuit of the foe, but at Ashland was met with over whelming numbers and it was compelled to fall back again to Hanover, whence it marched to Old Church Tavern, on the road from Richmond to White House, where it joined the main body of the army. The regiment was immediately placed on picket and scout duty, in which it was engaged until the movement commenced for the crossing of the HISTORICAL SKETCH. 25 James. As the army moved over the Peninsula the 18th was of the rear guard, and was subjected to severe duty.* At St. Mary s Church, f on the 15th of June, the regiment was hotly engaged with the enemy s infantry for nearly five hours, and only retired in obedience to the orders of the commanding general. The casualties in the engagement in killed, wounded and missing numbered thirty-three. Captain Samuel H. Tresonthick was mortally wounded and died in hospital and Lieutenant Samuel McCormick was killed. Lieutenant McCormick had a curious presentiment of death. A few days before he said to a comrade, " I expect to fall in battle, and my bones will bleach on the Old Do minion sands. If I fall carry my body from the field." On the 17th of June the regiment crossed the James and moved to the neighborhood of Prince George Court House. On the 23d, General Wilson started with his division, with the exception of the 18th Pennsylvania and 3d New Jersey, on an expedition for the destruction of the railroads south of Richmond. Two days before he started these two regi ments had been sent to report for duty to General Wright, commanding the Sixth Corps, which occupied a position on the extreme left of the army. They were employed in picketing a line of nearly five miles on Wright s left flank, involving much severe service. On the 23d the 18th, sup ported by a few hundred sharpshooters, drove the enemy from the Weldon Road, at Yellow House, and tore up a NOTE.*" From the evening of June 12th till 2 A. M. of the 14th, Mclntosh s brigade covered the rear of the army, crossed the Chickahominy at Long Bridge, and on the afternoon of the 14th reached Charles City Court House. His brigade was immediately ordered to Saint Mary s Church, and returned in that direction, driving the enemy s cavalry before it. On the 15th and 16th both brigades were kept unceasingly active in making demonstrations from Philip s house and Saint Mary s Church upon the enemy between White Oak Swamp and Malvern Hill." Major General Wilson s report. fSee account of fight at St. Mary s Church, elsewhere. 26 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. portion of the track, but were subsequently driven back to Wright s lines. For nearly a month it remained on duty here and then rejoined the division at Prince George Court House. On the 5th of August, the regiment embarked at City Point to proceed to the Shenandoah Valley, whither two divisions of cavalry had been ordered. At Washington the brigade was armed with Spencer repeating carbines. Upon reaching the valley, active operations were commenced, and on the 17th, the regiment was engaged at Winchester, hold ing in check the columns of Early, now pressing upon Sheridan, and three days later at Summit Station. At Charleston the fighting was renewed, and again at Leetown, to the right of Charleston, in each of which the regiment was at the front, and did good service. On the 19th of September occurred the memorable battle of Winchester. At one o clock in the morning of that day, the regiment broke camp, and moving up the Winchester Pike, crossed the Opequan at dawn, driving the enemy s pickets in upon a brigade of infantry lying behind slight earthworks, on an eminence easily defensible, and really the key to the enemy s entire position. With the 5th and 2d New York deployed as skirmishers, the 18th was ordered to charge. The third battalion had the advance, and dashing forward drove the enemy from his works, and into a wood beyond, from which it was in turn repulsed by a rapid fire. But at this juncture, the main body of the regiment came up, led by Colonel Brinton, and drove the enemy for half a mile and, aided by the rest of the brigade, held this position until Sheridan s infantry came to his relief. General Mclntosh, who led the brigade was complimented by Sheridan for its gallantry in this charge. Colonel Brinton, after having his horse shot twice, and his clothing riddled with bullets, finally fell into HISTORICAL SKETCH. 27 the enemy s hands, but later, in the confusion of Early s retreat this officer escaped. * * * The loss in killed, wounded and missing was twenty-four. "The casualties, " says an officer,* were much greater than those mentioned above, but the names are now forgotten. Their unflinching bravery and noble self-sacrifice are not, and I shall ever remember with the liveliest emotions, the charge made by the 18th on that eventful day, and how nobly the boys stood there on that hill-side, in face of the enemy s infantry line, and reformed and charged again and again, until the position was taken." After the fight in the early morning, and when relieved by the Sixth Corps, the division moved to the left, where Sheridan s whole line was in full view. In the afternoon it participated in the general assault which drove the enemy in rout and in which General Mclntosh was wounded. On the 20th, it moved through Luray Valley, and at Front Royal came up with the enemy s cavalry, which was posted to dispute its progress. Major Phillips, who led the 18th, was ordered to force a passage, and drive the enemy from his work on the opposite bank. The Third Battalion, under Captain Britton, took the advance, and dismounted, cleared the barricades with which the road was obstructed and boldly advanced upon the opposite bank, driving the enemy and securing possession of his works. Pursuit was immeditaely made, and on the 22d the division came upon the enemy, strongly posted across the narrow valley, which is here a little more than a ravine. A sharp artillery duel ensued, but no advantage was gained. On the following day the main body of the enemy having fallen back, in the meantime, at Fisher s Hill, the force upon Wilson s front withdrew, and he pushed forward to Newmarket, where "Lieut. -Col. Phillips. 28 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. he met the main Union column, and drew scanty supplies, joining in the pursuit which was pushed as far as Waynes- boro. Returning to Bridgewater, the division encamped, and when Sheridan fell back to Cedar Creek, it retired to Brock s Gap, where, on the 6th of October, the 18th, while on picket, was vigorously attacked, but succeeded in re pelling the enemy, and inflicting serious loss. The regiment lost sixteen in killed and wounded. On the 8th, the command moved toward Cedar Creek, the 18th, acting as rear guard, and suffering from frequent and furious attacks of the enemy. Major Phillips, who was in command, says: "In all the hard service which the regiment did, it had no harder day s work than that of the 8th of October, 1864. It was one continued running fight." The loss was com paratively slight, being eight killed and wounded, and five captured. The enemy s loss was much greater, he being obliged to attack, and the repeating carbines of the regi ment, proving very destructive. On the following day, the division faced the enemy and assumed the offensive, ad vancing over the ground on which the 18th had fought so desperately the day before. The line was formed with the 18th on the extreme right, resting along the slopes of the Alleghany Ridge. At the signal to advance, the line swept forward with resistless power, driving the enemy, under Rosser, in confusion, capturing all his artillery, six pieces, and his entire ambulance and wagon train. In the race for the captures, the 18th was among the foremost, and at a moment when those in advance reached the first wagon, Lieutenant John R. Winters fell, mortally wounded, by the ball of a sharpshooter, concealed in the wood to the left of the road. In the battle of Cedar Creek, on the 19th of October, the 18th was engaged from early dawn until evening, when it HISTORICAL SKETCH. 29 participated with the brigade in a brilliant charge, which closed the struggle and swept from the enemy s grasp his guns and trains. This single brigade was accredited with the capture of forty-five pieces. The loss in the engage ment was three killed and five wounded. On the 12th of November the division again met the enemy s cavalry near the Cedar Creek. The brigade charged and drove him three miles. The Second Brigade, which charged on a parallel road, was repulsed, and the enemy, following up, came in upon the 18th unawares, capturing Major Phillips, Lieutenant Blough, and fifteen men. Soon after this the regiment went into winter quarters near Harper s Ferry. It subsequently participated in the descent upon Waynes- boro, whereby the remnant of Early s army was captured, and with the Fifth New York Cavalry, was detailed to con duct the prisoners taken, amounting to fifteen hundred, back to Winchester. On the way General Rosser repeatedly attacked, counting confidently upon the release of the pris oners, but he was foiled in every attempt, and they were all safely delivered at Winchester. Colonel T. M. Bryan having resigned was succeeded by Colonel and Brevet Brigadier General T. F. Rodenbough, U. S. V. (Captain 2d U. S. Cavalry) who joined the regi ment (May 12, 1865) at Winchester, Va., and assumed com mand. The regiment having been ordered to the Depart ment of West Virginia (commanded by Ma j. -General W. H. Emory, U. S. V.) marched to Cumberland, Md. This move ment was made under peculiar conditions, of swollen streams and bad roads, but ended in permanent camp in a beautiful grove in the vicinity of the city on the great National Road. Here an opportunity was taken to thoroughly refit the command, establish a school of instruction for officers and men, and repair the ravages which the constant and ardu- 30 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. ous field service had made, not alone in the " effective strength" of the regiment, but in its discipline, equipment and military efficiency. In this effort the new commanding officer was heartily supported by all the officers, and in a few weeks this im provement in the set up, military appearance, guard duty, etc., of the men, became so conspicuous, that (although now belonging to a brigade including among other troops the 5th U. S. Cavalry, and Battery F, 5th U. S. Artillery) the regiment had fairly earned the soubriquet of "The Eigh teenth Regulars." On the 6th of July, General Rodenbough was assigned to command the District of Cumberland (relieving Maj. -General Francis Fessenden, U. S. V.), under his direction (in accord ance with the order of the Department Commander) the Eighteenth and Twenty-second Regiments, Pennsylvania Cavalry, were consolidated with the title of the Third Provisional Pennsylvania Cavalry, with General Roden bough as its colonel.* On the 21st of July, the regiment moved to Clarksburg, W. Va., and was actively engaged during the remainder of the summer in hunting guerrillas, restoring order in certain sections where the collapse of the Confederacy was not known. October 31, 1865, in accordance with War Department General Orders the regiment was honorably mustered out of the Volunteer Service. *For details of the consolidation see "Itinerary."

TO my dear comrades of the 18th Pennsylvania Cav alry, I offer this brief and incomplete record of events in their career as a contribution to the regimental history, hoping that each will be able by means of the dates and incidents given, to fix in his mind more clearly the more striking occurrences in his own individual experience. The following record was compiled by me from my own diaries, kept during the entire period of our service and other authentic sources. A daily note of events was made in camp, on the march, in the field, and on the battle line, and I vouch for their accuracy. In these briefly recorded facts each member of the regiment may see, by aid of the beacon light of his memory, a picture of his own military life. Since you have endured the hardships and encoun tered the danger of an active army life in camp, and field, and battle line, for the preservation of the Union, this record is worthy of preservation, and transmittal from patriot sire to loyal son, as the part performed by you in your country s most trying hour. I commit it to your care, the care of your children, and future generations. 34 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. ITINERARY r 1862. Nov. 13. Cos.

Their artillery could not be used on account of the close quarters of our men with theirs. While push ing onward an order was received to retire. The regiment fell back to the open field where it was dismounted and formed a heavy skirmish line and continued the fight till near sundow^n, when a furious rainstorm came up, and the enemy retiring the regiment drew back of Gettysburg Heights and bivouaced for the night.

"As we entered the long defile which leads down to Opequan Ford they told us that the cavalry alone had whipped the enemy out of the pass. It was a tidy bit of work and the boys who did it may well be proud of it. As we neared the ford we passed the hospital tents, where the victims of the morning were being carved or trussed up by busy surgeons. It was not a sight to make a man relish what was coming, for the steady pounding of artillery that we had heard all the morning was now mixed with the crack of musketry, and we knew it was a case where "Johnny" had got his gun, and was going to stay there until somebody got licked."

Again, during the memorable engage ment of the 19th inst., your conduct throughout was sublimely heroic and without parallel in the annals of warfare. In the early part of the day, when disaster and defeat seemed to threaten our noble army upon all sides, your calm and determined bearing, while ex posed to a terrible fire from the enemy s guns, aided not a little to restore confidence to that portion of our army already broken and driven back on the right. Afterwards, rapidly transferred from the right flank to the extreme left, you materially and successfully assisted in defeating the enemy in his attempt to turn the left flank of our army. Again, ordered on the right flank, you attacked and defeated a division of the enemy s cavalry, driving him in confusion across Cedar Creek. Then, changing your front to the left at a gallop, you charged and turned the left flank of the enemy s line of battle, and pursued his broken and demoralized army a distance of five miles. Night alone put an end to your pursuit. Among the substantial fruits of this great victory, you can boast of having captured five battle flags, a large number of prisoners, including Major-General Ram ITINERARY OF SERVICE. 63 1864. seiir, and 45 of the 48 pieces of artillery taken from the enemy on that day, thus making 51 pieces of artillery which you have captured from the enemy within the short period of ten days. This is a record of which you may well be proud, a record won and established by your gallantry and per severance. You have surrounded the name of the Third Cavalry Division with a halo as enduring as time. The history of this war, when truthfully written, will contain no brighter page than that upon which is recorded the chivalric deeds, the glorious triumphs of the soldiers of the Third Division.

Inscriptions appropriate to the offense they had committed were written in large letters on each of the barrels.

A blanket was obtained and each corner of it was held firmly by a strong man and raised about two feet from the ground ; a colored lad was then caught and thrown into it; the blanket was then lowered and then raised quickly three times; as it came up the third time and the word three was given, the lad was tossed high into the air, and with a yell of fright would fall back into the blanket, when it would be repeated. Sometimes a complete somer sault would be made. When all the fun was out of him he would be let out and another caught and served likewise. This was kept up till a young wench standing near enjoying the fun, was tossed into the blanket. The crowd yelled with delight while the men holding the blanket, not being very gallant, tossed her screaming, high into the ah-, skirts, ribbons, etc., flying in all directions. She would no sooner fall back into the blanket than she would be tossed up again.

THE 30th day of June, 1863, brought the first real en gagement in which the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry took part as a regiment. It was known that the dashing Confederate cavalry leader, General J. E. B. Stuart, with his command, had been, in the contests of the previous days, cut off and separated from the main army of General Lee, and was moving in the vicinity of where we then were; but his precise whereabouts were unknown. The mission of Kilpatrick s cavalry was in part to intercept him and pre vent his return to join Lee, but it was not thought we were in such close proximity to him as we in fact were on this 30th of June. We left Littlestown early in the morning and moved in the direction of Hanover. The 18th Penn sylvania Cavalry had the rear of the line, and Lieutenant H. C. Potter, with about forty men from L and M companies had the extreme rear of the regiment with orders to keep a sharp lookout for the enemy. Just after the main body of the brigade had passed through Hanover, and the 18th had entered the town, this rear guard was suddenly attacked by the enemy, who appeared on a nearly parallel road, and Potter was driven upon the main part of the regiment, which had reached Hanover, as stated, and had halted in the main street of the town, accepting the hospitalities of the good people of the place. For a moment all was confusion. The impetuous charge of the enemy brought some of their troops in the midst of our men, and hand-to-hand contests were had with the sabre. In a few moments the 18th rallied, *Extracts from the Address of Lieut.-Colonel John W. Phillips, at the Dedication of the Monument at Gettysburg. 78 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. and with the 5th New York Cavalry drove the charging party back on their reserves. They, in turn, charged us and drove us back, when a second time they were driven back. The enemy then changed their position to the right and one of the Michigan regiments was pushed forward to meet them there. The 18th Pennsylvania and the 5th New York were dismounted and pushed forward as skirmishers, and the enemy were driven out of the town. The losses to the 18th in this battle were three killed, twenty-four wounded, and fifty-seven missing. The com mand left Hanover about 2 P. M. and moved rapidly in the direction of Harrisburg. We passed through Abbottstown and reached Berlin, fifteen miles from Harrisburg, bivouac- ing there on the night of July 1st. All that day as we marched, the distant boom of the cannon could be heard in the direction of Gettysburg, for there was then going on the terrible contest of the first day. On the 2d of July, we turned back and moved rapidly toward Gettysburg. The sound of the conflict was sufficient guide. The peace ful and fertile fields of Pennsylvania never looked prettier than they did that day, as they waved with their weight of golden grain, all unconscious of the carnage that was reddening the fields of the beautiful valley of Gettysburg. We all felt that the contest was on which would decide the Nation s fate. On we rode, no man left his place, no man faltered, as with set lips and mayhap blanched faces, we moved on to Gettysburg. Passing through Abbotstown and New Oxford, we came to Hunterstown late in the evening, and here for the first time saw the smoke of the battle and met the enemy. They charged our column, but were repulsed after a short engagement. At dark we fed our horses arid lay down on the grass to rest, expecting to bivouac for the night, but soon " boots and saddles" GETTYSBURG. 79 sounded, and we moved silently around the left of the enemy s line, and early on the morning of July the 3d, we joined the main army on the heights of Gettysburg. Halt ing only for a short rest at the junction of Rock Creek and Baltimore Pike, our (Farnsworth s) brigade moved rapidly to the left of the Union line, passing Little Round Top and Big Round Top until we reached the position just to the front of where we now are, and where this monument stands, and this position, with but slight changes, was main tained until the battle ended with the Waterloo of the Rebellion. GETTYSBURG. The brigade, commanded by the gallant Farnsworth, and to which he had been assigned on the 28th of June at the time General Kilpatrick assumed command of the Third Cavalry Division, consisted of the 5th New York, 1st Vermont, 1st West Virginia and 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry regiments. This brigade alone accompanied General Kil patrick to this position on the line of battle, the 2d Brigade, under General Custer, having been sent to the right to aid General Gregg. With Captain Elder s battery of Artillery, we took position in the woods to the rear of where we now stand, and the 18th was part of the time supporting this battery and part of the time, until about 3.30 o clock hi the afternoon, on the skirmish line to the left of this point, and at one time part of the companies on the skirmish line were over to the left so far as to almost reach the Emmittsburg road. After the severe and awful artillery duel, that pre ceded the charge of Pickett on the center of the line of battle, had spent itself, and the charge itself had been made into that " mouth of hell," the enemy in our front seemed 80 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. stirred up with an unusual activity, the cause of which was General Merritt s approach on the Emmittsburg road. This new and unknown force seriously menaced the Con federate position, and this, combined with the proximity of Farnsworth s Brigade, caused the enemy s movements. About 4 o clock it seems to me, though I know others have fixed the time an hour later, the command came to the 18th to forward. With Lieut. -Colonel Brinton in com mand (and a braver man than he never drew saber), we moved into the edge of an open space in the timber and formed. The 1st West Virginia was on our immediate right, and the 1st Vermont was on their right, and the 5th New York was, in whole or part, supporting the battery. Just at the time that General Farnsworth, at the head of a party of the 1st Vermont and the 1st West Virginia, moved down through the woods on the charge so gallantly made, and in which he rode to his death, the 18th Penn sylvania also charged, moving directly to the front through the open space, beyond which it had formed as stated, and down through the thick timber and over boulders toward the enemy s line. Shells were flying thick and fast over our heads as we went, cutting off an occasional limb from the trees, and a rattling fire of musketry was coming from the front. Too high firing of the enemy alone saved us from terrible loss. Owing to the brush and thick woods, we did not discover, until we had gone almost through the timber and could begin to see in the opening beyond, that the enemy were lying behind a stone fence that skirted the woods and separated them from the fields. By this line, so posted, the charge of the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry was repulsed. It was behind this stone fence that the 1st Texas, of General Law s Division, lay, and it was undoubtedly the GETTYSBURG. 81 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry of whom General Law was speaking, when in his article on "The Struggle for Round Top," as published in the Century Magazine, he says: " Farnsworth s Brigade charged the line held by the 1st Texas Regiment. It was impossible to use our artillery to any advantage owing to the close quarters of the attacking cavalry with our own men, the leading squadrons forcing their horses up to the very muzzles of the rifles of our infantry. That portion of the cavalry which covered the front of the 1st Texas Regiment was handsomely repulsed ; but the 1st Vermont Regiment, forming the Federal right wing, overlapped the 1st Texas on its left, and striking the skirmish line only, rode through it into the open valley in rear of our main line on the spurs of Round Top." This statement of General Law corresponds almost exactly with the facts as I remember them, so far as they had transpired up to the tune just before the repulse, when I was wounded in the head by a minnie ball and conducted by Dr. Sharp, the regimental surgeon who accompanied us in the charge, I was taken to the field hospital in the rear. Twenty-six years have wrought great changes in the topography of the country and of this field, but I am satisfied that the charge we made on that day was over or very near the spot where this memorial shaft now stands. The part the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry took in this memorable contest has never been properly stated by any who have attempted to detail the action of General Kil- patrick in connection with the battle. The fact is that at the very time that General Farns- worth at the head of the two squadrons of the 1st Vermont Cavalry charged through the gap in the enemy s line, and then to his death, the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry charged without any hesitation upon a solid regiment of the enemy 82 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. intrenched behind a stone wall in its front. The whole object of the maneuver of General Kilpatrick on that day against the extreme right of the enemy s line was to divert his attention as to prevent a massing of his forces on Gen eral Meade s center. That it had the desired effect and that the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry bore its full part in this strategic movement is well known to those who have studied the history of this battle in the light of well-authenticated facts, and it is also fully corroborated by the concurrent testimony of General Law of the Confederate Army, who, in writing his statement, before referred to as published in the Century Magazine for a wholly different purpose, has inadvertently explained why he was held to his position on the extreme righ 4 - of Lee s line. The fact is, that on the second day of battle, Hood s, General Law s Division (Longst reefs right) had, in the brilliant and almost success ful effort of Longstreet to seize Little Round Top, swept across Devil s Den and part way up the rocky side of Big Round Top, and the morning of the 3d found this force of the enemy there, ready to aid in all effective ways in the grand final grapple, which Lee fondly hoped would bring him victory. All the morning of this last day s battle they thus lay, without molestation from any troops of ours, either from Big Round Top, or from the direction of Em- mittsburgh, and when the plan of the grand charge of Pickett was formed, it was a part thereof that when the rush came on, support should come from Longstreet. Law says that at 9 A. M. of the 3d, Longstreet came and told him to be ready to attack on his front. Law testifies that the dan ger on his right did not threaten until the thunder of the 300 guns that preceded Pickett s charge had commenced. Then, when the fierce contest was raging and Lee was asking in the language of General Fitz Hugh Lee: " Where is Law s u nt \\ f UNIVERSITY I \ / . GETTYSBURG. 83 Division? Where is Hood with his spirited Texans?" the threat on his right became a danger, and instead of sending aid toward the center, where the fate of the battle was being decided in a death grapple, or attacking the line on his front as a diversion in favor of the attacking column in the center, he was compelled to turn and make defense on his right. Immediately after this it was that the charge of the gal lant Farnsworth was made, and that the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry went down through this timber to the stone wall, behind which the 1st Texas Infantry lay. Then it was the wild ride of Farnsworth and of the squadrons which with him broke through the skirmish line, to the left of the 1st Texas, was made; and that onset was made, in fact, by the whole brigade, and made at the tune which we all remember was just after that grand and awful artillery duel, which made the hills on either side look as though split open with the energy of volcanic fires. And the fact will always remain that the single brigade of Farnsworth, of Kil- patrick s Division, aided (though without previous arrange ment), by the brigade of Merritt, who appeared further to the enemy s right on the Emmittsburg road, by their presence and maneuvers held the full force of the enemy to its place on his extreme right; and in fact did more, caused part of this force to change front and fight, and effectually prevented the accomplishment of the well-laid plans of Lee and Longstreet, by which, otherwise, the fierce onset of Pickett on the center would have had great pos sibility of success. And it is proper for me to say in this presence and on this spot where, in the culminating throes of that eventful day, when the fate of this Nation was de cided we stood, that the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry had in its ranks that day no laggards. That it moved promptly to 84 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. the execution of every order given; that it was found un complainingly in its place, and did its duty in march, on picket, in battle and skirmish, in all the long days of the campaign that culminated in Gettysburg, and that here on this spot, whether some of those who have attempted to describe this part of the contest give it credit therefore or not, it charged down through the woods upon a line of the enemy s infantry behind a stone wall, almost up to the muzzles of their guns. All you who hear me of the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry, and who were with it at Gettysburg know it, and the Confederate commander, General Law, knew it, and testifies to the fact and to the gallantry of those who made it. While the Battle of Gettysburg ended, as the shadows of night fell on that memorable day, to the main body of Meade s Army, to the Cavalry Corps, it did not end. As for the days and weeks preceding, so for days and weeks succeeding, with the cavalry, that which was really the Gettysburg contest went on. Amid the drenching rain that closed the day of July 3d, our brigade moved back to bivouac and having been joined by General Custer (who, on the extreme right of our line had been assisting General Gregg and had taken part in the fierce contest with Stuart at Rummers Farm) by daylight on the 4th, the whole division was on the march, moving rapidly by the left flank of Lee s retreating army on a road nearly parallel with the line of his retreat. At midnight on the 4th, in the black darkness, on the top of South Mountain, near Monterey Springs, the head of our column struck the enemy s guarded trains, and without knowing upon what we were charging, we charged, and the result was a capture of about five miles of wagons and about 1,000 prisoners. HAGERSTOWN. 85 HAGERSTOWN. At Hagerstown, on the morning of the 6th of July, with the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry in advance, the rear of Lee s retreating army was met, and four companies of the regiment charged. The head of the column was struck at the entrance of the main street, and forced back for a distance of one quarter of a mile. The losses of the com panies were heavy. Captain Lindsey of Company A, and a number of others were killed, including Sergeant Joseph Brown of Company B and the color bearer of Company A, and a large number were wounded and captured, and I doubt if a more gallant charge was ever made than that by these four companies in the face of overwhelming numbers and in the teeth of what seemed inevitable death or capture. In this charge Captain Ulric Dahlgren, Acting Volunteer Aid to the commanding general of the Division, lost his leg. During the contest thus began, which lasted all day, Companies L and M made a similar desperate charge led by Captain Pennypacker. His horse was killed and he was severely wounded, and Lieutenants Laws and Potter, with a number of enlisted men, were captured. The losses to the regiment in this day s fighting were eight killed, twenty-one wounded and fifty-nine captured or missing, total, eighty-eight men. Day after day and night and night, until Lee had crossed the Potomac, did the ceaseless vigils of the cavalry continue, and it was on the night before he finally crossed that at midnight I was relieved on the front skirmish line at Hagerstown by some fresh troops from Pennsylvania, and dragged myself back to the meadow where, in the falling rain without cover the boys lay sleep ing with their saddles for pillows, only to be awakened a few hours later by the bugle call to " Boots and Saddles/ 86 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. and this, for the purpose of hurrying out to the front in order to give the retreating force a parting salute. And so at Falling Waters, the brigade attacked the rear guard of the rebel army as, fan-shaped, it drew itself back to its pontoons. General Pettigrew was killed and about 800 prisoners taken. Lee retreated rapidly southward until he placed the Rappahannock River between himself and the Federal Army, and in all the pursuit the 18th did its full share of the hard, constant and perilous duty that in all such marches fall to the lot of the cavalry. THE BATTLE OF HANOVER* By Captain H. C. POTTER, 18th Pa. Cavalry. THE division left Littlestown about 8 o clock A. M., in the following order: Kilpatrick, with his staff and bodyguard, 1st Ohio, Custer with the 1st, 5th, 6th and 7th Michigan; then the artillery, then Farnsworth (Richmond did not command a brigade then) with the 1st Vermont, 1st West Virginia, and 5th New York. Behind them came the ambulance, wagons, horses and pack mules, and last of all the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry. Our regiment was the last to leave, and I did not leave there until 10 A. M. When starting, Lieut. -Colonel William P. Brinton, in command, ordered me to pick my men and remain about a mile in the rear. I took about twenty men each from L and M companies. At this tune I carried a carbine. We proceeded, making inquiry of eyeryone if any Johnnies had been seen, but none had been. After going a few miles, I was joined by Captain Freeland of my regi ment. He rode with us for a while, and he and the men he had with him left, taking a road to the right. (Most of us that day wore our cape overcoats.) As we neared Hanover, a little after 11 o clock, we came to a stream across the road (no bridge) where we watered our horses. While watering, a farmer came from a house close by calling to me "The rebs have taken my horses and cows." I went with him to his barn, when he showed me the empty stalls and pointed out in the distance a small body of troops who had with them one of those old-fashioned Conestoga wagons. These troops had on blue coats, and I thought it was Freeland. I told the farmer I would have his stock returned to him From Phila. Public Ledger, December 31, 1903. 88 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. and left, not being satisfied in my mind. I sent Corporals Street and Dannenhower to see who they were. They came back saying it was Freeland. We went on, these troops getting closer and their numbers increasing. I was sus picious as their guidon was very red. When about a mile from the town the road they were on turned sharply into the one we were on, and about sixty of them came out directly in front of us. They called on us not to shoot, but surrender saying, "WeVe just captured some of you ns," and they would not shoot. When we got very close to them we fired and charged (this was the first shot fired) ; they scattered and we went through them. It did not take them long to recover and they came after us. We ran tow ard the town and a bend in the road brought into view the rear of our regiment dismounted. Hearing the firing in their rear they were mounting their horses and some of them joined us in driving them back. It was here that I was joined by Adjutant Gall (I first called him Lee) of the 5th New York. He rode with me at the head of the first set of fours. He did not get far, when he fell from his horse. We were again driven back and this time the whole regiment joined in and we drove them to a stand still. It was here up a lane, with a high, stiff post and rail fence on each side, the cutting and slashing was done and for a few in the very front it was a hand-to-hand fight. It was here General Ouster came dashing up in the field behind us, shouting " Drive them," but for a short time neither side would give way. Ouster went back for more troops, but before they arrived the enemy dropped a shell (the first fired) in our midst, when we gave way and fell back to the edge of town, when the 5th New York came to our assistance. This practically ended the affair. Elder s Battery was by this time brought into Market Square and a few shots were HANOVER. 89 exchanged with the one gun the enemy had in action. The 5th New York and 18th Pennsylvania were the only troops actively engaged on our side, and the " rebs " at no time had over 700 or 800 and but one gun that they used. Lieut.-Colonel Payne was not captured as Stuart says. We lost no wagons or ambulances, and the enemy were never near them. Lieut.-Colonel Payne ventured too near town, had his horse killed and in his hurry to get away, fell in a tan vat. We killed a Confederate colonel and buried him, with three or four men, where they fell, inside the fence and not far from the creek. The whole affair was an acci dent, and had they gathered up our little command (as they did others) without making a noise about it there would have been no so-called battle of Hanover. HANOVER. (ADDITIONAL FROM PRIVATE LETTERS.) Extract from letter of Captain J. W. SMITH, Company B, September 23, 1903 MY recollection of the Hanover fight is this. Our regiment at the rear of the brigade, marching in columns of fours, was halted and dismounted in the street. The enemy had appeared on our right just before we got to the town. A few men, perhaps a squadron, had been posted on the flank at the edge of the town to act as a picket or rear guard. They may have been from our reg iment, I do not know. The enemy charged on them and on our rear, and we got no orders to face about but were driven through the town in a jam, much as we drove their cavalry through Hagerstown on July 6th. Britton got a sabre cut in that jam. As soon as we got to an open space, where the 5th N. Y. Cavalry were posted, they charged and drove the enemy back and out of the town. Extract from letter of J. WILBER SHEPHARD, Steelton, Pa., September 24, 1903. I was in the fight at Hanover, Pa. The "rebs" were in the town as we had to drive the men and women in their homes so they would not be shot as they were feeding the soldiers on Pennsylvania pies and cakes. Extract from letter of Lieut. S. T. JACKMAN, Company E, August 29, 1902. You ask were the rebels in the town of Hanover, Pa., on June 30, 1863. I say, yes sir. They were in there and some of our regiment were killed. Lieutenant Tresonthick HANOVER. 91 was the only officer in the rear when we were attacked. I was with him, had been riding with him all afternoon. I saw ladies almost carrying wounded soldiers into their houses. We couldn t keep them off the street. God bless the women.

I have my old log book. Many items in it would be of interest but I have neglected sending any of it for our history THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN. By Major WILLIAM B. DARLINGTON, 18th Pa. Cavalry.* Stafford Court House, Va., August 9, 1863. SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report , _ of the battles in which this regiment has been engaged since June 29th; On June 30th, while passing through the town of Hanover, Pa., it was attacked by a brigade of rebel cavalry of General Stuart s command. Several squadrons had formed, when some ambulances, which were in the rear, were driven by the frightened drivers through our ranks, creating so much confusion that we were compelled to retreat through the town, when we reformed. We were not afterward engaged during the day. This is the only engagement in which the regiment has been broken. Lieut. T. P. Shields, with some twenty-five men, received the enemy s charge on our flank bravely, but was overpowered and captured. Casualties, 4 killed, 27 wounded, 50 missing, total 81. On the evening of July 2d, in the skirmish at Hunters- town, Pa., the regiment was again under fire. It was assigned to the support of the battery. We lost only 1 man wounded. On July 3d, were moved to the left of the line of the Union Army at Gettysburg. The regiment was employed in skirmishing during most of the day. At about 5 P. M., it was recalled, formed, and ordered to charge, which it did with energy, and remained under fire until recalled. Casualties, 1 killed, 5 wounded, 16 missing, total 22. Records, XXVII, part 1, p. 1011. GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN. 93 On the night of July 4th, in connection with the rest of the division, it captured the train of Gen. R. S. Swell s (Confederate) corps. Casualties, 1 man missing. On July 5th, at Smithsburg, the regiment was deployed as skirmishers, and remained in position until recalled. Casualties, 3 men missing. On July 6th, was in the engagement at Hagerstown. The First and Third battalions charged through the town ; drove three times their number back to the enemy s bat teries on the hill, when they were ordered back. They retired in good order. In this charge they captured several prisoners, among them a rebel colonel. Subsequently, when the division retired, the regiment was assigned to the support of a battery, and, though hard pressed, held its position, and brought off all the guns. Casualties, 8 killed, 18 wounded, 65 missing, total 91. On July 8th, when Stuart attacked the First and Third Cavalry Divisions, our regiment was deployed as skir mishers, and subsequently supported a battery. We suffered no loss. On July 12th, we again entered Hagerstown, and on it and the following day skirmished at long range. No casualties. At the battle of July 14th, at Falling Waters, but not engaged. On July 24th, the regiment present at Amissville, but not under fire. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. B. DARLINGTON, Major, Commanding 18th Pa. Cavalry. To Capt. L. Siebert, Assistant Adjutant General. THE FIGHT AT HAGERSTOWN.* By Private SAMUEL ST. CLAIR (late) 18th Pa. Cavalry. I WAS with the brave boy, Capt. Ulric Dahlgren, when he was wounded while leading Company D, 18th Penn sylvania Cavalry, on a charge in the streets of Hagerstown, Md., July 6, 1863. Before noon of the 6th General Kil patrick s Division of Cavalry arrived at Hagerstown, on the line of the rebel army from Gettysburg. General Buford with his division, attempted to destroy the supplies of Lee s army at Williamsport, while Kilpatrick held back the advance of the retreating rebel army at Hagerstown. We found the city in possession of the rebel cavalry. Kilpatrick formed his division on the Boonsboro Pike and Williamsburg road, south and west of the city. Captain Dahlgren took Company A, 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry and led a charge into Hagerstown on the main street leading north. This brave company made a gallant charge and drove everything before them to the public square in the center of the city. Here the rebels made a stand, and in a hand-to-hand fight, Capt. Wm. C. Lindsey of Company A, and a good many of his men were killed. Captain Dahlgren left the remnant of Company A in the alleys on each side of the street to hold the rebels to the square, while he would go back to our regiment for reinforcements. He called on Company D (the writer s) for twenty men to dismount, leave their sabers on the saddle and go on foot. He placed ten of us on each side walk, while he rode along in the middle of the street. He rode even with the advance of the squads and told *From The National Tribune HAGERSTOWN. 95 us not to fire until he gave the order. When we came within about 300 yards of the public square the rebels opened fire on him, as he was their target in the middle of the street. None of the bullets touched him. He gave the order: "Now boys, give it to them!" There was a volley from each sidewalk. The rebels broke at the first fire and went north on Greencastle Street as fast as their horses could carry them, until they came to the Dutch Reformed Church. Here they had supports and a battery. Here they dismounted and took possession of a cemetery, and again opened fire on us from behind the church-fence and the grave-stones. After we passed the square an old citizen came out of a house with a musket in his hand and fell in with our boys, loading and firing after the rebels. He was shot down before he had crossed the second block. Here our brave leader, Captain Dahlgren, received the wound which cost him his leg. He was sitting on his horse near the west side of the street directing OUT boys on that side of the street to go down the sidewalk west toward the Oak Spring, where the rebels were flanking us. The rebels behind the church shot him. I was on the east side of the street about twenty yards from him when he was shot. We had no officer with us to take his place. Every man took a position to suit himself. Captain Pennypacker, with Companys L and M charged past us here, mounted. About the middle of the afternoon the advance of the rebel infantry came in sight on the Greencastle Pike. About a half mile from us they filed to the right and left by brigades and formed into line of battle. We could easily see that our cavalry division would soon have to get out of their road. When the line began to advance we fell back to the square, where we had supports from 96 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. different regiments. Here Sergeant Brown of Company B was shot and killed by a daughter of Dr. M . The shot was fired from an upper window in M s house, on the northeast of the public square. On the corner of Levi s store-house, I found a good position. I could see the rebels advancing on the Greencastle road. There was a squad of the 6th Ohio Cavalry, a part of General Kilpatrick s body-guard, standing here, mounted. The sergeant gave his horse to a comrade to hold. He came to the brick corner, where I was, and asked me to let him have my carbine to shoot a few shots at the rebels. He said that he had no carbine, and that I was warm and tired and that he was cool. I gave him the gun. He got down on one knee, and resting the carbine against the brick corner took deliberate aim. While he fired I had another cartridge ready to put into the carbine. In this way we soon used up all the ammunition I had. He would call to his squad while I was putting in the load: "They are coming fast! " The squad were sheltered by the brick building. When the last load I had was fired, the rebels were within fifty yards of us. He told me to get out of that, and mounted his horse and moved off. I went around the east end of the square on the walk, but found that I could not get to the Boonsboro Pike to get out. The rebels were filling the square from the direction of the Washington House. There was no way left for me to get out except through the gardens. I opened the gate on the east of the square, went in and closed it after me. To my surprise the fence on the further side of the garden was made of boards on end, like our fair ground fences, six or seven feet high. I first thought I could not get over it and was caged. A citizen from a back door brought me a pitcher of water. I told him that I was out of ammunition. He gave me eighteen HAGERSTOWN. 97 cartridges which a wounded soldier of Company A, who was in his house, gave him. There was only one house between me and the rebel line on Washington Street. While here I heard a woman in a house crying and saying, " Johnny is killed! Johnny is killed!" I afterwards learned that it was an artist from an upper window with his instruments taking a picture of the fight. The rebels shot him. Now it was with me to either get over the fence or go to Belle Island or Libby Prison. The studding was on the inside of the fence, which was in my favor. I slung my carbine on my strap, so that I could use both hands and take it along. I went over the fence easy and came down in another garden with a fence of the same kind, went over it and came down in an alley, almost on top of a boy who was trying to hitch a horse to the fence. He said: "Is this your horse. " I told him I would take him. He was a fine horse, belonging to Company A. The rider had been killed. The alley I was in led east one-half block south from and parallel with the rebel line on Washington Street. I was sheltered by the houses from the rebel bullets, except at the street and alley crossings. My horse took me across there so quickly that the rebels had not time to draw a sight on me. At the end of the alley I came to a stone quarry of about three acres, dug out six feet deep. The rebel shirmishers were coming into it at the north and a squad of our men were going out at the south. I turned the horse to the right and rode after them. Here I could see the rebel line of battle coming from the east, going west. These came by the Monterey Pass road. I went around the city to the Williamsport road. Our division was all moving back on this road, and the advance of Lee s army was just breaking out of the city. Following them I fell in with the 1st Vermont Cavalry. They were supporting 98 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. our battery. These brave Vermont boys would hold the rebel advance in check so the battery could get in position on the next rise behind them, and then fall back at a trot, in perfect order, and form with the battery; then the battery would blaze away at the enemy. In this way we went back to meet Buford s Division coming east, the rebels pushing them. Both divisions turned out of the road and went south and let the rebels come together. Lee s army had cleared the road to the Potomac. I have written this account of this engagement just as I have it in my memory, nearly thirty-three years after it occurred. * <A J^ 1. Slum-man 4.

V., Commanding First Brigade.* Headqrs. 1st Brig., 3d Div., Cavalry Corps. Camp at Stevensburg, Va., Nov. 18, 1863. CAPTAIN : In reply to the communication of General Custer, just received, requesting a report as to the attack made on the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry this a. m., I have the honor to submit the following statement, the result of a personal examination of the ground, the officers engaged, and of citizens in the vicinity: Captain Kingsland, commanding the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry, had at his disposal about 150 men. His camp was at the cross roads leading to Ely s and Germania Fords. One-fourth of his command was posted on the road to Ely s Ford, and he kept up a communication with the force posted at Germania Ford. Last evening I received instructions from General Custer to detail from this command an escort to accompany Lieutenant Whittaker and another officer in a reconnais sance to be made this morning at daylight to Ely s Ford. In pursuance of this an order was sent Captain Kingsland to furnish Lieutenant Whittaker with sixty men for that purpose. Captain Kingsland had also been previously instructed at daylight this morning to move his main re serve camp nearer to Stevensburg, leaving fifty men at the position he was holding.! Official War Records, XXIX, part 1, 656-8. tGeneral Pleasanton endorsed General Da vies report thus: "Hdqre. Cavalry Corps, Nov. 19, 1863. General Custer committed an error in taking a detail from a regiment on outpost duty. I have so notified him." 100 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. Lieutenant Whittaker reached the headquarters of the regiment before daylight, and reveille was sounded and the whole command aroused. Lieutenant Whittaker and an orderly from my headquarters who accompanied him both concur in saying that the horses in the camp were all saddled and bridled. Sixty men were detailed to accom pany him, and, as I now learn, his instructions had been changed after I had seen him, and he was directed, instead of going directly to Ely s Ford, to go by way of Germania Ford. The rest of the command were getting breakfast and preparing to move, when shots were heard in their front, and the men were mounted and formed in front of the camp. The few that were left in camp were ready, when their whole outpost were driven in upon them, mixed and struggling with a dense column of rebel cavalry. I learned that the enemy in a column approached the vedette on the Ely s Ford Road, who for a moment hesitated to fire, all of the men in front being dressed in our overcoats. Then seeing a large force, he discharged his carbine, when the enemy rushed forward at a gallop, following him closely, and in their charge swept away the reserve on the road. They kept on right down to Captain Kingsland s camp, and fell upon the little force he had there, and after a short encounter drove them back. They retreated along the road toward Stevensburg, about two miles, when the ad vance squadron of a regiment I had sent out met them and they immediately turned and retraced their steps. The enemy did not pursue them in force much beyond the camp, but took a position there and sent on a small force, which was checked, as I have mentioned. The party in charge of Lieutenant Whittaker, which I have mentioned, had proceeded nearly two miles on the road to Germania Ford, when they heard the firing and GERMANIA FORD. 101 counter-marched. On nearing the camp of the regiment, they encountered what all concur in stating was a regiment of cavalry drawn up in a field on the right of the road, which charged them. The men retreated into the woods on the left of the road and skirmished for some time, but were obliged to fall back. The majority of them succeeded in reaching their regiment. In this affair Lieutenant Sellers was killed. The 2d New York Cavalry having reached the ground immediately advanced, driving the enemy s rear guard out of camp. At the forks of the road the rebels divided, one party going to Ely s Ford and the other and larger portion to Germania. In going to Germania they en deavored to capture a squadron of the 5th New York, on picket at that ford, commanded by Captain McGuinn. He had timely notice of their coming, and withdrew his whole command down the river without losing a man, returning when the enemy s column had passed. I have made every inquiry to learn the force of the enemy, and from no state ment is it less than 1,000 men. All of the citizens place it much higher, as well as my own men and officers. Several citizens living miles apart, between whom there could be no collusion, have told me that General Hampton was in com mand of the expedition, and that they saw and spoke with him. I am aware that there is great tendency to exag gerate in forming estimates of an enemy s force in an affair of this kind, and the figures I give are 500 less than the lowest of any report made by competent persons that has been given me. That it was a movement of some im portance and known on the other side, is shown by the fact that my pickets at Germania Ford at daylight this morning perceived on the other bank a considerable force of cavalry 102 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. and three guns in position. After the enemy had crossed these were withdrawn. I do not consider that Captain Kingsland is deserving of censure in any degree for the result of the affair this morn ing. So far as I can learn, he did all that a vigilant and prudent officer could do with the force he had. He re ceived two saber cuts while engaged with the enemy, and, as I learned, behaved with bravery and courage. I have directed an investigation into the conduct of an officer com manding the reserves of his outposts, the result of which I will communicate. The loss at present reported is: One commissioned officer killed, 1 commissioned officer wounded; 2 enlisted men wounded, 51 enlisted men missing; 83 horses, 10 mules, 1 ambulance, 1 hospital wagon, 1 army wagon, 1 forge. I would say that I believe the number of missing men and horses will be considerably decreased by to-morrow morn- Ing, as men are constantly coming in, who were cut off and saved themselves in the woods. Respectfully submitted, H. E. DAVIES, Jr., Brig.-General Commanding. Captain Estes, Asst. Adjutant-General. ST. MARY S CHURCH, OR WHITE OAK SWAMP, VA. By J. ANDREW WILT, late 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry. AFTER the fight near Cold Harbor and Old Church on June 10 and 11, 1864, the regiment, on the evening of the 12th, received orders to be in readiness to move. The column moved early in the evening leading in a south easterly direction; the night was dark and much of the way was through low lands covered with timber. We marched all night and when day light came many of the men were hatless, they having lost cap or hat by the overhanging branches of the trees in the march in the darkness of the night before. The Brigade (1st Brigade, 3d Division, Cavalry Corps) led the advance of the army in its flank movement to the James River. We crossed the Chickahominy River at Long Bridge in the night, and moved some distance beyond. On the 14th, after marching and meeting with no enemy, we arrived on the banks of the James River. It was a beautiful day. Here we found fine grass for our horses, and we unsaddled them for the first for several days. The men of the regiment at once went to the river for much needed bathing and washing of shirts, etc. ; others led their horses into the river and washed and bathed their galled backs. All were enjoying the prospect of a good night s rest for the men and horses. A soldier never knows what will come next. While the men were in the midst of their enjoyment of washing, cleaning and resting, the bugle sounded the familiar "boots and saddles" and in an hour the regiment was retracing its steps and moving on the same road it had passed in the early part of the day. On this road on either 104 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. side the infantry (Fifth Corps) were now in bivouac, they having come up during the day. The infantry cheered as we passed by. In this movement we were a part of the game of war Grant and Meade were playing with Lee. Grant wished, if possible, to deceive Lee and cover his real intention of crossing to the south side of the James River. The movements of the cavalry and the Fifth Corps on the 13th and 14th of June had that effect. After passing beyond the infantry, we were given strict orders to make no noise, to prevent sabre and canteen from rattling and clanking as little as possible. After dark we advanced cautiously and as quietly as cavalry can. The regiment halted shortly before midnight; no fires were allowed to be built, nor horses to be unsaddled; a heavy line of pickets were placed in front; some timber and small undergrowth covered the ground we were on; at daylight the picket line was advanced; the regiment moved out towards the right and advanced on a road leading towards Richmond. The advance guard had not gone far when the enemy s infantry was found; the order to dismount, fasten our sabres to our saddles was at once given ; the horses were sent to the rear; the dismounted men were formed hi line. One squadron, mounted, was sent across an open field to make a demonstration against the enemy, apparently in considerable force, in the brush beyond. This squadron was recalled after receiving a well directed fire from the enemy, which wounded some men and horses. This squadron after being recalled, was also dismounted and placed in the line of dismounted carbineers. This was the beginning of one of the most stubborn, as well as one of the most discouraging engagements, in which the regiment was engaged during its service. Our skirmish line was soon driven in and the enemy ad- (.. apt. II. C. Potter Capt. II. J. BIoiiRh Lieut. D. R. Forcsniaii (. apt. F. /arrachrr ( apt. M. S. ( apt. S. II. Tresonthick (Died of wcls..

MARY S CHURCH. 105 vanced with a heavy line of infantry, we firing rapidly with our breech loading carbines, staying their progress to some extent, but we were soon pressed back. Our men took advantage of every object or tree that afforded protection from the fire of the enemy, but we were compelled to slowly retire, however stubbornly contesting every foot of ground. We would stay their progress at intervals, but only to be pushed back by superior numbers. Thus the battle con tinued until in the afternoon we were driven back to a small stream, which was so deep that Company L, I know, was compelled to cross on a log reaching from bank to bank. At this point we lost the most men in wounded and killed. Leiut. Samuel McCormick, who was in command of Company L, was killed after crossing on this log, while engaged in deploying the men on the other bank of the creek, as the men came across on the log. Sergeant Thomas Fitzpatrick was also severly wounded near this point. Lieutenant McCormick s body was carried to the rear. During the afternoon the enemy gradually forced us back through the timber and underbrush. Late in the afternoon the welcome "boom" of our battery was heard and the shells from it passed over our heads and went crashing into the enemy. This gave us the first cause for cheers. During the day we cheered and yelled because we were ordered to do so; the yelling would begin at the right and then extend along the whole line of the regiment. We had no other reason to cheer, for, in fact, we were being driven back all day long, and the killed and wounded were numerous in the regiment. We learned afterwards that this was a part of the attempt to deceive the enemy, to make him believe and think that the whole army was on the north side of the James River, and would attempt to reach Richmond from that direction. 106 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. The facts were that the infantry was at that very time crossing the James, and by the morning of the 17th the whole Army of the Potomac was safely on the south side. After our battery opened on the enemy no farther ad vance was made by him; we could also hear him felling trees for the purpose of erecting temporary works. Late in the afternoon the 2d Ohio was sent to our relief, and as the Ohioans were taking our places dismounted the 3d New Jersey made a charge mounted down a road. We found our horses about sundown and moved back to St. Mary s Church, which was being used as a hospital for the wounded. This battle we always called White Oak Swamps. The ground was swampy and oak trees were abundant. The ground we fought over was from one and a half to two miles towards Richmond from St. Mary s Church. Every company in the regiment was engaged during the day. On the evening of the 16th of June, the regiment was with drawn from St. Mary s Church, and on the morning of the 17th crossed the James River on pontoons, being the rear of the army. INCIDENTS. The writer was one of two men of Company L detailed to carry the body of Lieutenant McCormick to the rear. The lieutenant was shot in the right breast, well towards the arm pit; the body was left in charge of some of the Field and Staff Officers, and I do not know what was done with it. On that morning before we were dismounted, Lieutenant McCormick rode a bay horse, and in the evening when we got back to our horses, I could not find my horse, so I was directed to ride the officer s horse until I could find mine. I did so and found my horse in another company, and then ST. MARY S CHURCH. 107 turned Lieutenant McCormick s horse over at regimental headquarters. Twenty or more years after the close of the war I re ceived a communication from the Government asking me what I knew about the loss of a horse of Lieutenant Mc- Cormick s in the battle of St. Mary s Church, Va., June 15, 1864, when I stated substantially as above. Af tor having left the body of Lieutenant McCormick, as above related, and on our way back to the firing line we met a man coming to the rear. Lieut.-Colonel Brinton, who was mounted along the road, discovered this man going to the rear, asked him if he was wounded, and the soldier said " No. " " Why then are you going to the rear, " asked the Colonel. Whereupon the soldier remarked that his carbine was out of order and would not work. The colonel then made the soldier put a cartridge in his carbine point it upwards and fire. The carbine seemed to work all right then, and the colonel then called to me and comrade Charles Streevy to take this man with us and to see that he went on the firing line. We had not gone many rods until we were within range of the enemy s fire, and the soldier in our charge was struck by a ball from the enemy in the right side or shoulder, the effect being to spin him around like a top. We then permitted this man to go to the rear. Twenty-five years later at a meeting of the Executive Com mittee of the Regimental Association, at Philadelphia, and during this meeting, this same man walked into the room. This was the first and only time I have seen him since. I greeted him but did not allude to the incident of June 15, 1864. Sergeant Thos. Fitzpatrick s wound was a peculiar one. He was in the act of firing with his carbine, when a bullet struck the barrel of his carbine in such a way as to splinter 108 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. the small wood stock and then struck his right hand at the trigger guard, splitting his right hand and then following the bone and muscles of the arm and coming out at the shoulder. It is related that when the surgeons came to the sergeant, and after examination decided that ampu tation was necessary, the sergeant, with his left hand, drew his revolver and laid it by his side and said, " I will shoot the first man that undertakes to amputate my good right arm. " The surgeons went away and, after having attended to the other wounded, came back to the sergeant and asked if he was now ready to have his arm amputated. He replied, "No. I want it understood that this is my right arm, and I want you doctors to fix it up the best you can. I will take my chances. It will be time to amputate it when it can t be saved." The sergeant won the day. The surgeons dressed his wound, it did well, and the ser geant reported back to the company for duty, minus the two middle fingers and a badly crippled and permanently disabled arm. The sergeant was afterwards discharged on account of his wounds. Sergeant Thomas Fitzpatrick was, after the close of the war, a valuable and efficient clerk in one of the Bureaus at Washington, D. C. and later in charge of the National Cemetery at San Antonio, Tex., and at Mound City, 111. * * * * Just as the 2d Ohio Cavalry came to relieve us on the firing line that afternoon, James Dorley (Donley), who then turned to go to the rear with his company, was struck with a bullet between the knee and ankle joint of his right leg, shattering the bone. We, who were relieved, were anxious to get out of range of the enemy s fire. The other mem bers of the company had retired. Donley asked me to aid him to get to the rear; he could not walk and as he was a ST. MARY S CHURCH. 109 man weighing about 180 pounds I could not carry him alone. I requested one of the Ohio boys who had just come in, to aid me in getting him to the rear, which he did. After getting him back I procured a horse and got him on it, and did not again see Donley until July, 1888, at the twenty- fifth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, at Gettysburg, Pa. Through the assistance of the Pension Bureau, I learned about 1880 that Donley was living, and I wrote to him stating my recollection of the circumstances, and also that I had often spoken of him and wondered whether he was still alive, and the pleasure it afforded me to learn that he was in the land of the living. In answer Donley wrote to me that his leg was amputated that evening in the Field Hospital, and then he was sent to a general hospital in New York, where a second amputation became necessary. He added, " Part of my leg is buried in Virginia, part of it in New York; I don t know where the rest of my body will be buried." Donley did not recognize me when we met at Gettysburg, in 1888. When informed that I was the lad that had got him back to the rear, he said: "Are you the boy that saved me?" THE SHENANDOAH CAMPAIGN * By Major JOHN W. PHILLIPS, 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry. Headquarters 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry. October 11, 1864. LIEUTENANT: In accordance with instructions re ceived from brigade headquarters, I have the honor to transmit the following report of the part my regiment took in the late engagements: On Saturday October 8th, my regiment (being rear guard for the division) was attacked by the advance of the enemy s force. The rear battalion, Lieutenant Blough, commanding, formed and checked them, killing 3 and wounding 1 captain and 6 others. The Third Battalion, Captain Britton, formed and met the second charge, al lowing Lieutenant Blough to fall back behind him. This was done in some confusion, owing to the strength and con fidence with which the enemy advanced. My men fired repeated volleys into the head of the column and so effec tually checked the advance that a flank movement on his part became necessary. As soon as I observed this, I ordered my men to fall back and take position in the woods, where I learned the 2d New York, Major Hull, was formed to assist me. This they did in much confusion, owing to the furious charge made by the enemy. He was checked by the charge of Major Hull, but, coming on in vastly superior numbers, we were forced to fall back upon the main portion of the brigade. In this running fight of more than two miles I lost 4 men killed, 7 wounded and 5 missing. The color bearer of the enemy was seen to fall and from the *Report of Major John W. Phillips, Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, of opera tions October 8-9. SHENANDOAH CAMPAIGN. Ill nature of his advance his loss must have been severe. Much credit is due Lieutenant Blough and Captain Britton, and the officers and men in their respective battalions, for the stubborn manner in which they met the repeated charges of the enemy. In the action of the 9th I was ordered, in the early part of the engagement, to support Major Krom, 5th New York, whose command was deployed on the right of our line as skirmishers. This I did until ordered by one of General Ouster s staff to tear down all the fences in my front, and deploy my whole regiment as skirmishers. I had scarcely got it deployed as ordered when General Ouster ordered Captain Britton, who was on the left of the line to charge. Soon the whole line was in motion and advanced as rapidly as the nature of the ground and the wearied conditions of my horses would allow, driving the enemy s skirmishers before it. When the enemy s center gave way, the right of my line was quite far advanced and was in a position to give a flank fire as he began to retreat from the top of the hill, where his artillery was last in position. Owing to the long run I had made over fences and ditches, and through the woods and brush, many of my horses had become exhausted and my line necessarily much scattered, and the difficulties in the way of a rapid advance on the right flank were becoming greater, owing to the still more unequal nature of the ground in my front. I saw I could do nothing more than pick up a few stragglers if I remained there. Accordingly (not seeing Colonel Pennington at the time) I rode up to General Custer and stated the difficulties and received permission from him to bring my command on the main road and pursue as rapidly as possible. I immed iately ordered Captain Britton forward rapidly on the main road. In the meantime Lieut. J. R. Winters, Company E; 112 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. Lieut. J. W. Smith, Company B; Lieutenant Nieman, Company E, and Lieutenant Grier, Company B, having seen the enemy s artillery and wagons in rapid flight, gathered together what men were near, pushed forward rapidly in pursuit, passing by the right flank of the artillery and entering the main road about 500 yards in rear of the wagon train. At this point the officers above mentioned and the men with them had the advance of everything on the road, and in three minutes time came up with the rear of the train. The enemy made a stand in the corner of a wood for a few minutes, killing Lieutenant Winters, who had emptied his pistol and was moving furiously upon them with drawn saber. This was the last stand he made, and the wagons were left to the mercy of any one who had a horse swift enough to overtake the terrified teamsters. The men of my command moved forward with Lieutenant Grier at their head until there was not a wagon or am bulance that had not been stopped or turned back, some of the Second Brigade following in the rear of them. Lieu tenant Grier and his party led the advance all the way, and although he had not men enough to guard all the wagons and ambulances back to the rear, yet he did send many back in charge of my own regiment. Those so sent back were delivered by Sergeant Puder, of Company M, to some of the 1st Vermont, whom it is presumed delivered them to the provost-marshal. One piece of artillery was cap tured by Private Samuel Fry, Company F, who alone sabered one of the drivers in order to compel him to stop his horses and turn around and drive them back. This piece he guarded back himself, and should have the full credit of its capture. Private Smith Allen, Company D, charged up to another piece alone and sabered a driver and was in turn severely wounded in the neck, but remained *fA|X(X([U> ^- : kjCL^M^-.t^ 1 >. >.;4^*i: i,,-r 1 ~ r v3? ta 3*a?> .32E ^-"/ -T/ r V / , ?"""* i ^vpi ^ r^ll >* ?-= i^ SHENANDOAH CAMPAIGN. 113 with the piece and rode by it as it was carried back. He acted very bravely. The piece that was strapped beneath the limber was passed by Lieutenant Grier, and the enemy driven from it by his party, but being then in full pursuit of the enemy he did not think it best then to detach any of his men to take particular charge of it. It was taken charge of by some officer of the 8th New York. The number of prisoners captured as straggling parties of the enemy s cavalry was nineteen. If I add to this the number taken with that artillery and with the ambulances and wagons it will swell the number greatly. I wish to mention for particular gallantry, Sergt. James McKay, Company B; Sergt. William Scott, Company G; Sergt. Pruder, Company M; Sergt. William P. Seal, Com pany E; Corporal Depew, Company E; Private Stephen S. Kelley, Company K; Private John A. Chester, Company F; Sergt. Charles A. Clark, Company B. In mentioning the names of these, I would do great injustice to many others, did I not state that this list does not include all who did their duty nobly. These mentioned I saw in the van of the fight, and know from personal observation how well they merit mention. All the non-commissioned officers mentioned richly deserve promotion for their strict at tention to duty and their noble conduct in tune of action. I will not mention particularly, further than I have done, the names of any of my commissioned officers; some were ahead of others, but I am convinced it was not from any lack of zeal, but for reasons which will readily suggest themselves when the nature of the ground passed over is taken into consideration. I liked to have forgotten to mention the name of T. Jackman, regimental commissary sergeant, who, although he had no particular duty to perform on the field was in 114 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. the front all day, and acted with peculiar bravery. He advanced up to the enemy s skirmish line and with his pistol killed a private and wounded an officer who was endeavoring to saber him. He also, during the day, captured a prisoner.

STATEMENT BY THE PUBLICATION COMMITTEE. ON the 12th day of November, 1864, the 18th Penn sylvania Cavalry charged with the other regiments composing the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Cavalry Corps. The brigade was commanded at that time by Col. A. C. M. Pennington, then Colonel of the 3d Regiment New Jersey Volunteer Cavalry; the Second Brigade of the division charged at the same tune on a parallel road and met with a stubborn resistance by the enemy and was partially repulsed or temporarily halted in consequence thereof; the First Brigade, with the 18th Pennsylvania on its flank, succeeded in driving the enemy, which fact enabled the enemy to come in on the flank and rear of the charging line of the First Brigade, which was the 18th Pennsylvania, and resulted in the capture of Major John W. Phillips in command of the regiment, Lieut. Henry J. Blough, and fifteen men; with the break in the charging line of the division between the First and Second Brigades, and the enemy coming in the rear of the 18th Pennsylvania, caused the " confusion resulting in the capture of Major Phillips, its commander, and others" of which General Pennington speaks.* With the enemy in its rear, the commander of the regiment a prisoner, the wonder is that not more officers and men of the 18th Pennsylvania were captured by the enemy on that occasion. The officers and men of the 18th Pennsylvania, were not responsible for the gap in the line between the First and Second Brig ades, nor had any of them any knowledge of it until the enemy was found in force in its rear. The most seasoned *See General Pennington s letter, March 4, 1909, p. 122. 116 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. veterans will be subject to temporary confusion when suddenly and unexpectedly attacked from the rear. The survivors of the regiment, who were present, will recall the surprise when it was discovered that the troops in the rear of the regiment were " Johnnies" instead of our troops, as at first we thought they were.* It is known that Major John W. Phillips, who was in command of the regiment on that day, was misled and believed that the troops in our rear were our own and not that of the enemy until it was too late and his capture resulted, as above stated. The 18th Pennsylvania was virtually cut off by being surrounded and the officers and men will recall vividly the efforts made to cut their way through the enemy s line in our rear to escape capture. Major Phillips, who was in command, having been captured on that day, made no official report for the 18th Pennsylvania and the part it took in this engagement. Colonel Pennington, the brigade commander, was evidently not in possession of all of these facts, and, we believe, had he known all the conditions, as they existed on that day, could have found no fault with the conduct of the officers and men of the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry. If there was any criticism due from the commander of the brigade for the conduct of the regiment on November 22, 1864, judging from his report it was clearly due to some misunderstanding of orders or what was expected of him on the part of the officer in command of the regiment at that time. The criticism or censure, if any was merited, should have been confined to the officer in command of the regiment on that day and not so general as to involve all the officers and men of the regiment present. *See Remarks of Captain Grier, p. 118. SHENANDOAH CAMPAIGN. 117 When all these facts are considered in explanation of this part of the history of the regiment, the survivors of the regiment may well feel a pardonable pride in their ser vice with a regiment that "did its full duty, distinguished itself by its gallantry and good conduct" in the war which preserved this Union and made it possible to attain the greatness, prosperity and power which the United States as a Nation now enjoys.

I made a narrow escape from capture also. Phillips was hi command and was with Lieutenant Blough to my left. I had, with a body of men, driven the enemy hi my front across Cedar Creek, while the men were engaging the enemy across the ford. I sent a man to find Major Phillips to know whether I should cross over and pursue them further; he soon re ported that the Major and the men with him could not be found; at the same time he reported firing hi our rear. It now became very plain to us all that we were surrounded and cut off from our command. I at once called the men into column, about twenty-five in all, and urged them to stick together and we would try and get out of the difficulty. We started in the direction we thought our brigade could be found, but soon came hi contact with a detachment of Rebel Cavalry, which we charged and routed; one was captured and one left dead on the field. We had gone but a short distance further when a large body of men and a wagon train was seen to our right. First Sergt. W. P. Seal, who was with me, insisted that they were our men. I contended that they were not and would change our course. He was so convinced that they were our men I told him that he might try them, so we separated. He soon, how ever, discovered his error, but it was too late to join me * [Capt. Thomas J. Grier, who at the time was a Lieutenant, and prior to his death wrote a sketch of his life in which he mentions his experiences during his military service, gives the foregoing account and description of the fight on November 12, 1864, which will throw light on the situation.] SHENANDOAH CAMPAIGN. 119 again. He and one man, who was with him, escaped by jumping from their horses and secreting themselves in a ravine till after night, when they got inside of our lines and came to the regiment the next day, horseless and with out arms. The rebels had got the horses but could not find the owners although they were close to them. "After leaving Sergeant Seal we came into contact with another detachment of Rebel Cavalry, which we charged and routed. Soon after this we discovered across a field their line in force coming directly towards us. Being sheltered by a thick woods enabled us to get well out of their way before we were discovered. As soon as we were discovered they fired into us but no one was hit. We dropped our prisoner then and putting spurs to our horses succeeded in joining our command after we had been re ported captured. In this fight the Rebels appeared to be as disorganized as we were. In this engagement the First Brigade was on the right of our line and our regiment was on the left of the First Brigade and was intended to join the right of the Second Brigade, but the Second Brigade had been driven back by the enemy while our brigade had driven them before us. This caused the brigades to separate and let the enemy get in our rear and mixed up the com mands at that point." (As to November 22, 1864 and days following, Captain Grier, in his personal sketch, states as follows:) * November 22, 1864. Engaged the enemy at Mt. Jackson. Having been in command of the First Squadron (two companies) of the Second Battalion of our regiment from August 21, 1864 and as the officers of the squadron came back to it, I was, November 24, 1864, relieved from its command and took command of Company B. "As guerrillas had become very bold and annoying on 120 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. the right flank of our army, Sheridan ordered Captain Martindale to go with a detail of men into Cedar Creek valley, where they were said to rendezvous, and if possible capture them. I was selected with my company, among others, to go on the expedition. Scouts had previously been sent out to learn all about their movements and through them we had learned at what point they would assemble on a certain day. " Arriving on top of Little North Mountain overlooking the valley and not far from the place of rendezvous of the guerrillas, we dismounted under cover of a dense woods and waited about an hour until our scout returned and reported the guerrillas at a farm house about a mile off. Lieutenant Edwards was sent with a detachment to come in on the rear of the house by a by-path and prevent them from escaping by it into the Great North Mountain. The scout knew this line of retreat and knew that they would take it as soon as attacked from the main road on the front. "Having given Lieutenant Edwards sufficient time to reach the by-path with his command, we swept down upon the house suddenly and very unexpectedly to them, and too just as they had sat down to a rather extra dinner for that country. They instantly seized their arms and rushed for their horses firing as they did so; but we were not to be foiled by this, and closed in on them. A few escaped horse-back while some of our men gave them a hot chase for several miles; others tried the by-path but were overhauled by Lieutenant Edwards and his command, and the rest surrendered at the house. It was all over in a few moments after some pretty sharp firing. Vrp^j :$ "The only casualty to us was the shooting of Lieutenant Edwards horse. One of their men was reported killed.

AM in receipt of the copy of my report, as Commanding Officer of the First Brigade, Third Cavalry Division, of the part taken by it in the actions of November 12th and 22d, in the Valley of Virginia, which you kindly sent me. In reply to your inquiry as to the conduct of the regiment which called for the censure contained therein, I would say that at this distance of tune I cannot recall very clearly the details connected with the 12th of November, but I have a general impression that it was due to the regiment giving way in confusion resulting in the capture of Colonel Phillips, its commander, and others. In regard to the 22d the reason is given in the report; the regiment was moved to the rear, when it fell back with the Second New York and could not be found until after the brigade was relieved as rear guard. I do not remember what explanations, if any, were made in connection with these events. If any were rendered they could not have been entirely satisfactory or my report would not have contained a censure. In regard to the 22d of November, the censure should, I think, have been more properly applied to ike officer in com mand of the regiment which moved to the rear intact, under his command. I do not recall his name. I will say, in justice to the regiment, that on all other occasions, when under the leadership of Colonel Brinton and Colonel Phillips, it did its full duty, distinguishing itself by its gallantry and good conduct.

PENNINGTON, THIRD NEW JERSEY CAVALRY, COMMANDING FIRST BRIGADE, OF OPERATIONS OCTOBER IQ-DECEMBER 10. HEADQUARTERS, FIRST BRIGADE, THIRD CAVALRY DIVISION, CAMP RUSSELL, VA., December 10, 1864. CAPTAIN: I have the honor to make the following report of operations of my brigade since October 19, 1864: Battle of October 19, 1864. About 4 A. M. on the 19th of October my command was saddled up, in consequence of heavy picket firing and skirmishing along the line of the army. The firing soon became general and about an hour after daylight I received orders to move with my brigade to a point which would be shown me by a staff officer. I moved immediately and formed line of battle at a place pointed out which was in rear of the infantry and about a mile from the Valley pike. At this time a large number of stragglers were moving to the rear, and I sent out a squadron from my com mand to assist my provost guard in rallying the fugitives and par tially succeeded in arresting their progress. I remained in this position until the infantry had fallen back to within 100 yards of my line, when I moved, in obedience to an order from General Custer, to the extreme left of the army, and formed line with my right resting on the Valley pike, placing my command as much under cover of woods and knolls as possible. While here my brigade was subjected to a heavy fire of artillery, and several horses and men were put hors de combat in the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry by the explosion of a shell at the head of one of its squadron. A regiment of some other division was deployed as skirmishers in front of my brigade. My command was not engaged while in this position. General Sheridan having arrived upon the field shortly after we had taken position here, and the infantry having been rallied, my brigade was transferred to the extreme right of the army, the Second Brigade of the division having been left to (picket) hold the right of the line. At the time we moved to the left of the army the 3d New Jersey Cavalry, of my brigade, was also left to picket Fawcett s Gap and the Black Road, connecting with the Second Brigade. In looking for a position for my com mand, I came in sight of about two regiments of cavalry, apparently feeding in an open field about 1,200 yards distant. The battery (B and L, Second U. S. Artillery) was placed in position on a hill overlooking the enemy, and I formed two regiments, 2d Ohio and 2d New York Cavalry, and charged the enemy, who mounted their horses and fled. I then, after a slight skirmish, halted and formed my command in line of battle, the 5th New York being on the left, 2d New York and 2d Ohio in the center and 18th Pennsylvania on the right and connecting with the left of the Second Brigade. My 124 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. command was held in this position for nearly two hours, with skirmishers thrown out. No firing of consequence occurred at this time, although the enemy in force were in my front. At the end of two hours I received an order from General Ouster to withdraw my command and move farther to the left. This I did, moving with the 1st Connecticut Cavalry in front. Coming in sight of the enemy s skirmishers, I directed the 1st Connecticut Cavalry to charge them, which they did, and drove them in upon their main body. The remainder of the command coming up, I formed the 2d Ohio and 2d New York to charge with the 1st Connecticut, the 2d Ohio to take the right, the 2d New York the left, both regiments to try and flank the enemy, while the 1st Connecticut charged in front. This movement was entirely successful, and the enemy were driven beyond Cedar Creek across Cupp s Ford. While this was being done the 5th New York and 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry moved with the Battery (B and L, 2d U. S. Artillery), the former in advance and the latter in rear, at a gallop to Cedar Creek. Ar riving there, the 5th New York Cavalry crossed and charged with the 1st Vermont Cavalry, of the Second Brigade, capturing, in connection with the 1st Vermont, the following mentioned propety : 45 pieces of artillery, 28 caissons,! battery wagon, 34 army wagons, 12 spring wagons and ambulances, 163 sets artillery harness, 150 sets wagon harness, 196 horses, 134 mules. The 5th New York Cavalry, of my brigade, received receipts for one-half of the above mentioned property. As soon as the enemy was driven across Cupp s Ford, I withdrew the 2d New York and 2d Ohio and moved to the support of 5th New York and 18th Pennsylvania. I found the 18th Pennsylvania and the battery in position near Cedar Creek, but was unable to over take the 5th New York and, it being dark, I halted my command and, with the 18th Pennsylvania and the battery, which joined my command, I returned to the camp of the day before. The 5th New York did not join until the next morning, having been guarding captured property all night. In this engagement my command lost two men killed and fifteen men wounded. On the 20th of October the brigade went on a reconnaissance to Fisher s Hill on the Back road, and, not finding the enemy, returned to camp near Middletown. From this date to the 8th of November, the brigade performed picket duty on the line of Cedar Creek, with occasional scouting. On the morning of the 8th of November, before daylight, I received orders to move with my brigade to a point on the Valley Pike, between Winchester and Newton, to prevent an attack on either of these places by Rosser, who was reported to be moving in that direction. I moved as directed, and encamped about two miles south of Kernstown. Remained here until the 9th, when an order was received to move to Mount Zion Church, and picket from Fawcett s Gap to the Middle road, taking the road to Newton for my line. Reached Mount Zion SHENANDOAH CAMPAIGN. 125 Church, about dark, relieved the Second New York Cavalry, which had been left at Mount Zion Church to picket while the brigade was absent. The next day I moved the brigade to its present camp near Kernstown, after establishing my picket-line, which extended from Fawcett s Gap to Middle road. Battle of November I2th.The 2d Ohio Cavalry was on picket at Mount Zion Church, on the 12th of November, and with the 1st Connecticut Cavalry, which had been sent on a reconnaissance to Cedar Creek, was attacked and driven back to within a mile of camp. I moved out with the whole brigade and attacked the enemy. I succeeded in driving him easily until within a mile and a half of the creek, when they made a sharp resistance. I formed my brigade in line of battle, the regiments being in column, with strong line of skirmishers, and, having the "charge" sounded, charged the enemy, driving them nearly to the creek, when they again rallied. A sharp fight here ensued, but the enemy were obliged to give way, and fled in confusion across Cedar Creek. After driving them a mile and a half beyond Lebanon Church, three miles beyond Cedar Creek, I withdrew my brigade to near Mount Zion Church, and after forming it, moved again to Cedar Creek, and then returned to camp. In this engagement I lost the following: killed, 1 officer; wounded, 3 officers and 18 men, missing, 2 officers and 72 men. On the 13th of November went on reconnaissance with the divi sion to Cedar Creek and returned at 4 p. M. Remained in camp performing picket duty and occasional scouting until the 21st of November, when the division moved on a reconnaissance to New market. In camp at Woodstock on the night of the 21st. Battle of November 22d. Left Woodstock at 7 o clock on the morning of the 22d and met the enemy s pickets near Edenburg. the second division being in advance; drove in their pickets steadily until we reached the north fork of the Shenandoah, about a mile beyond Mount Jackson, where we came in sight of the enemy s cavalry drawn up on Rude s Hill. The Second Division (General Powell) being formed to attack the enemy, I was ordered by General Custer to form my brigade in the rear of the Second Division to support it in case of necessity. I had only formed two regiment when the enemy s cavalry moved off towards our right and the enemy developed a strong line of infantry. I was then ordered to recross the stream with my brigade and to move with three regi ments to Mount Jackson, leaving the remaining two regiments, the 2d New York and the 18th Pennsylvania to cover the crossing of the Second Division and to bring up the rear. General Custer took charge of these two regiments and I established a line at Mount Jackson with the 2d Ohio, 5th New York and 3d New Jersey.* The *General Customs report of this fight, which is missing in the "Official Records War of the Rebellion," may throw light on conduct of regiment, which appears to have been detached temporarily and under General duster s personal command. 126 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. Second Division passed through my line at Mount Jackson and I then took the rear with my brigade, which was soon joined by the 2d New York The 18th Pennsylvania, which was on the rear guard with the 2d New York, was not to be found until after the brigade was relieved fron duty, as the rear guard by the Second Brigade having gone to the rear without orders and avoided the fight. I formed my command in line of battle, the 5th New York on the extreme right, the 2d Ohio in the center and the 2d New York on the left. The 3d New Jersey was held in reserve. The enemy followed up closely with cavalry and infantry. By falling back gradually their cavalry was drawn out beyond the support of their infantry and my men drove them back gallantly in every instance on their infantry. The 2d New York, 2d Ohio, 5th New York and 3d New Jersey deserve great credit for their conspicuous gallantry in this engagement and for the handsome manner in which they rallied under fire. My command was engaged with the enemy until we reached Edinburg, when my brigade was relieved by the Second Brigade. In camp that night at Woodstock and on the 23d returned to our old camp nearKernstown. In this engagement my command lost 2 men killed, 2 officers and 21 men wounded and 9 missing. Here we remained until November 18th, when the division marched to Moorefield to intercept General Rosser, who had been to New Creek on an expedition to cut the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Reached Moorefield on the 3oth. Sent a recon naissance toward Petersburg and on its return left Moorefield and marched back to the army, which we reached on the 2d and have remained in present camp since that date. In all of these engagements the regiments of mycommand behaved gallantly, with the exception of the 18th Pennsylvania, which set a very bad example to the brigade in the actions of November 12th and 22d.* I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, A. C. M. PENNINGTON, Colonel, Commanding Brigade. Capt. L. SIEBERT, Asst. Adjutant-General. *See Letter of General Pennington (p. 122), Statement of Capt.

S. Army. Formerly Commanding Third Cavalry Division; Army of the Potomac. REPLYING to yours of October 13th, it gives me great pleasure to say that the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry was an exceedingly good regiment and this it owed largely to Colonel Brinton, who was one of the most gallant and competent officers in the Third Cavalry Division, when it was under my command. * * * Brinton was one for whom not only I but all who knew him had the highest regard. He first came under my observation during the Richmond raid, the day after Yellow Tavern, when the cavalry corps was extricating itself from its perilous position between the Chickahominy and the defences of Richmond. In crossing to the north side of the river at Meadow Bridge, the two other divisions had the lead and had got strung out on the road towards Games house and ultimately towards HaxalFs Landing. My division was in the rear, the last to cross and the last to engage the enemy. We were attacked sharply at the point where our road turned to the southeast, by the remnant of Stuart s Cavalry. The 18th Pennsylvania was the regiment that had the rear, and seeing that we must make a bold return, I ordered * * * Brinton, the lieutenant-colonel, to take the command and execute the order he had just heard me give. This he did at once and in the most gallant, knightly manner. The regiment not only made the charge, but Brinton was Letter to General Rodenbough, October 14, 1908. 128 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. throughout ahead of all his men. Nothing could have been more dashing or more spirited, and it was this splendid leadership on the part of Brinton that made his regiment what it was, one of the best that Pennsylvania ever sent out. I say one of the best, because it was my good fortune, when I went West, to organize and command the Cavalry Corps, M.D.M., to find there the 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry brigaded with the 4th Regulars and the 4th Michigan. Its colonel at that time was one of the McCormick boys, and he was not long in convincing me that he and his regiment were as good men as ever bestrode cavalry horses in action. I recall with great satisfaction Brinton s conduct at the battle of Opequan or Winchester. It was he who led the advance against the enemy s works, rode over them and at once became engaged in a hand-to-hand melee. I was personally close after him, and involved in the same hand-to-hand fight, discharging during the same, twelve shots, or all I had in my two revolvers. It was in that action that Brinton was captured. He had gotten further into the fight than the rest of us, was surrounded and cut out, as it were. The first thing I knew of it was from his little self-appointed orderly, a boy too young to be enlisted, but who had joined the regiment at Harrisburg, had followed its fortunes, participating in its charges and generally showing the extraordinary courage that comes sometimes with the ignorance of danger. Brin ton had finally taken charge of the boy and the boy was devoted to him body and soul. Shortly after we carried the enemy s entrenchments at Winchester, the little fellow came riding up to me in tears, indeed he was bellowing most lustily, when I said, " What s the matter, Eddie? 7 He cried out immediately, "Oh, A DIVISION COMMANDER S TRIBUTE. 129 general, they ve captured Billy Brinton. Give me a squad ron that I may charge after him and bring him out!"* That was one of the occasions on which there were no spare squadrons and during which it was a question for a few minutes of whether we would have to get out or the rebels. As you know, we made good upon that occasion, held the entrenchments and covered the field till the in fantry got through the defile behind us, developed their front, took possession of the works and relieved us from the pressure, so that we could withdraw and reform, taking our place on the left of the line, which we held till the battle was over and from which we advanced immediately cross country to the Valley Turnpike, where we went into camp for the night at a late hour. " Billy Brinton," meanwhile, was sent to the rear as rapidly as he and the few companions who were taken with him could travel. That night they slept in the edge of a field. Brinton, having no blankets or clothing other than what he had on, rolled under the hedge and after the camp became entirely quiet, began to look about him. He shortly discovered that as there were no sentinels or guard outside the hedge, and if he could get through under cover of darkness, he might escape. And this is exactly what he did, rejoining the regiment the next day. Of course he received a cheering welcome, in which nobody engaged more lustily than little Eddie. But, in order to fully describe the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry and its doings, I should have to refresh my mem ory by reference to my diaries and my official reports, and this will require some time, but I shall do it as opportunity offers. Meanwhile I should like to know who is writing the his- *See Sketch "Little Ed." p. 131 130 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. tory of that splendid organization, which did such credit able deeds after it found itself brought under the command of a most gallant volunteer. I never saw Brinton, so far as I can now recall, after parting with him and the division at Harrisonburg in the Valley of Virginia, in the fall of 1864. I have always re membered him, however, with gratitude and the highest admiration and I have always wanted to see him again. What became of him I do not know, nor do I know whether he is now living or dead, but I heard a good many years ago that he had removed to the Valley of Virginia, where he was surrounded by the scenery which had so often wit nessed his own splendid prowess as a cavalry leader. * * * Yours sincerely, (Signed) JAMES H. WILSON. "LITTLE KD." I rcr.KR ,T: A. WILT EDWARD F. PARKER, KNOWN AS " LITTLE ED." By J. ANDREW WILT, Late 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry. ITTLE ED" was known to every officer and man who served with the 18th Regiment of Pennsyl vania volunteer cavalry. His real name was Edward F. Parker; this boy came to the camp at Harrisburg, Penna., in October, 1862, when the regiment was being organized and sold papers; he was between the age of ten and twelve years. The boy was liked by the soldiers of the regiment, and when the regi ment was about to leave Harrisburg, this boy expressed a desire to go with the regiment, saying he had no home. Capt. Peter Wise and the men of Company I permitted this boy to go with them, and at Bladensburg, Md., Captain Wise secured a horse for him. In the engagement at Hanover, Pa., June 30, 1863, this horse was shot under him in the charge, in which he participated, but he escaped unharmed. Another horse was provided for him. He al ways took pride in keeping his uniform clean and neat, which the officers and men procured for him. By his in telligence, trustworthiness, geniality and courage, he en deared himself to every officer and man of the regiment; he was ready and willing to undertake any task, military or otherwise, however hazardous, that he thought would be of benefit to the Union cause, or for the advantage of the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry. Lieut.-Col. W. P. Brinton, who commanded the regiment, a large portion of the time, in the campaigns of 1863 and 1864, became very much attached to this boy, and on 132 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. several occasions, it is said, through this boy got informa tion of conditions and positions of the enemy, which could not have been procured by any soldier. The incident re lated by Gen. James H. Wilson, which occurred at Opequan, Va. (Winchester), September 19, 1864, shows the courage of this boy, as well as his devotion to Colonel Brinton. " Little Ed" was with the regiment from its organization until its muster out October, 1865, except for a short time when he was captured by the enemy, from whom he escaped, and returned to the regiment in a short time. The three years of outdoor life developed our boy phys ically, and at the muster out of the regiment, was a good- sized and rugged boy for one of his age. There was an effort made by the officers and men of the regiment at Cumberland, Md.,when the regiment was dis charged, to get the boy s name on the muster-out rolls, so that he might obtain an honorable discharge, and get some pay for the three years service he had rendered, but thp attempt failed, and Edward F. Parker served three years, as faithfully, courageously and honorably as man can, without pay or reward. At the reunions of the survivors of the 18th Regiment, Pennsylvania Cavalry, that were held prior to 1894, many were the inquiries of and about "Little Ed" and no one present could give information. At the reunion of the sur vivors of the regiment at Pittsburg, Pa., in September, 1894, a medium-sized man, plainly dressed, came into the meeting and asked if that was a reunion of the 18th Penn sylvania Cavalry, and upon being told that it was such a gathering, informed the secretary that he belonged to that "LITTLE ED." 133 regiment. The secretary asked "What company did you belong to?" and he replied, "Not any particular company, but was with the regiment from beginning to the end. My name is Edward F. Parker, and was known to all of you by the name of l Little Ed. Every survivor present greeted Edward F. Parker most heartily, as the "Little Ed" of former days, but no one present could recognize him, but in truth and fact he was that boy, grown to manhood. COMPANY EECOEDS.

J., attempted to raise a regiment of cavalry and established a camp or rendezvous at that place, and with the assistance of others enlisted men for such regiment. These two companies were enlisted as Company A and B for this regiment, to be designated as the Nineteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry. The discipline and ar rangements of the camp were very unsatisfactory and the men who were enlisted and sent there soon began to leave, and the number dwindled, so that early in 1863 Captain W. H. Page and Captain E. J. Pennypacker, assembled as many of the men as pos sible and proceeded to Washington, D. C., where the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry was completed by the addition of these two companies, as L and M, respectively. The names of all of those enrolled for this nucleus of the Nine teenth Pennsylvania Cavalry were inserted and carried on the rolls of these two companies, and as the record shows, that those marked "deserted" were those who had become dissatisfied with the commandant at Camp Haddonfield, N. J., and had never enlisted for, nor ever were a part of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry. The record shows that on the rolls of Company L alone, the names of seventy men who deserted before the company was made a part of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry. These two companies were recruited at Philadelphia and were principally from that city and the counties of Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware and Chester. The officers and men of these companies, who became a part of the Eighteenth Regiment Volunteer Pennsylvania Cavalry, did good service for their country, by engaging in all the various service of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry during its term of service. 154 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY.

Captain Page and some of the men had previously been in the service. The original officers and men were recruited principally from the city of Philadelphia, and the counties of Montgomery, Bucks and Dela ware, and in 1864 recruits were added from different portions of the state.

COMPANY M THIS company was recruited at Philadelphia and vicinity in the latter part of 1862 and early part of 1863, as Company B of the Nineteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry by Enos J. Pennypacker, who was its first captain. The company was assigned to the regiment about February, 1863, as Company M. (See remarks, Companies L and M.) The large number of men who are reported on the rolls as " never joined company," "not on muster out rolls," are no doubt in the class who became dissatisfied with the military authorities at Camp Haddonfield, N. J., and are accounted for on the rolls in this way. The men not previously discharged at date of consolidation were assigned to Company D, Third Regiment Provisional Cavalry, and mustered out at Harrisburg, Oct. 31., 1865.

The President was then directed to appoint an Executive Com mittee to consist of fourteen members, one from each of the twelve companies, one from the field and staff, and one from the line officers of the Regiment. The Executive Committee was subse quently appointed and is as follows: To represent: Field. John W. Phillips, Lieutenant Colonel, St. Louis, Mo. Line. Wm. P. Seal, Second Lieutenant, 917 Filbert St., Phila delphia, Pa. A. Geo. E. Newlin, First Lieutenant, Randolph and State Sts. Chicago, 111. B. Lucius J.

Andrew Wilt, Bugler, Towanda, Pa. M. Henry C. Potter, Captain, 1913 Spruce St., Philadelphia, Pa. This Committee has been elected by the Association at each succeeding reunion. THE MONUMENT COMMITTEE. The Executive Committee thus appointed by the President of the Association held its first meeting at No. 1109 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa., October 29, 1887, and appointed the Monument Committee as follows: Chairman, Captain Henry C. Potter, Philadelphia, Pa. ; Secretary, Bugler J. Andrew Wilt, Towanda, Pa. ; First Lieutenant, David R. Foresman, Williamsport, Pa. ; Captain E. J. Pennypacker, Wilmington, N. C., and Captain Thomas J. Grier, Philadelphia, Pa., to co-operate with the Board of Com missioners on Gettysburg Monuments. This Committee met the Commissioners at Allentown, Pa., Feb. 14, 1888, and while there examined a number of designs but came to no conclusion as the price of the monument had not then been fixed. On the 26th, Sept., 1888, the Committee met at Gettysburg and spent the entire day on the field with Colonel John B. Bachelder, John M. Vanderslice and Superintendent N. G. Wilson, of the Gettys SURVIVORS ASSOCIATION. 163 burg Battlefield Memorial Association; General William Wells and Colonel H. C. Parsons, of the First Vermont Cavalry; Major James Bryant, of the Fifth New York Cavalry; Lieutenant J. P. Allen, of the First West Virginia Cavalry, James Simmons, who commanded Bachman s Confederate Battery in the fight, and J. D. Ferguson, Adjutant on General Fitzhugh Lee s staff, and others. After careful consideration by the Committee, Potter, Wilt, Foresman and Grier, a site for the monument was finally agreed upon, and substantially the same as that suggested by other members of the regiment on previous occasions. It had now become apparent to the Committee that within the period allowed for the erection of the monument the project to in crease the state appropriation could not be satisfactorily carried out and was therefore abandoned at this meeting. The cost of the monument being now confined to the State appropriation, its sel ection was left by the Committee in the hands of comrades Potter and Grier for final adjustment with the Commissioners. Potter and Grier appeared before the Commissioners and from numerous de signs submitted by different parties, that one was selected after which the monument has been made. The inscription was subsequently settled on after considerable consultation and correspondence. To select the site for the monument, design and inscription, and make arrangements for the dedication has been attended with great labor and anxiety. DESCRIPTION OF MONUMENT. The monument is built of two stones of blue westerly granite, it being composed of a granite slab set upon a granite base. The slab bears upon its face, in bold bas-relief, the head of a horse surrounded by a horse shoe and underneath this, surrounded by a polished surface, is a bronze placque representing the coat-of-arms of the State. Above the placque appears the name of the regiment and below it that of the brigade, division, corps and army; on the rear face of the slab and near the top is Sheridan s Cavalry Corps Badge in raised polished work, and below it a polished panel covering more than three-fourths of the surface upon which is cut various in scriptions relating to and descriptive of the history of the regiment, events and casualties that occurred during the action and elsewhere. Where inscriptions are placed the surface is dressed and polished. The lettering is sunk and unpolished. The rest of the monument, except the top of the slab and the top of the base which are dressed, is undressed, as quarried, showing the rough and natural fracture of the stone. DEDICATION OF MONUMENT.

Taps The programme of the ceremonies at the Dedication of the Monument on Pennsylvania Day, Sept. 11, 1889, was carried out as follows: Captain Thomas J. Grier, President of the Regimental Association in his introductory remarks said: "Comrades, just one year, two months and eight days over a quarter century ago, amidst the crack of blazing musketry, the roar of cannon and the screech of bursting shell, the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry first appeared upon this ground. It was in war times, and in the harvest of death. To-day, as survivors of that famous old com mand, from distant and widely scattered homes, we Icome again with broken ranks and aged with years, to this hallowed ground to dedicate this monument, erected by the Commonwealth in honor of this regiment, and commemorative of noble deeds. Following the order of exercises set forth in the programme, I call upon one who in days long gone, called you to arms, to sound the call again upon a bugle, whose sound you have often heard on a tented field, bivouac, march and battle line." Nathan Tanner, late bugler of the regiment, now came forward and blew the assembly, charge and recall, after which the President said: "The Secretary will now call the roll of honor" (which in cludes the names only of those of the regiment who fell in battle and died from wounds received therein). 170 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. CALLING THE ROLL OF HONOR. J. Andrew Wilt, Secretary of the Regimental Association, then called the roll of honor. There being no response the President asked: "Where are these absent comrades whose names you have called?" The Secretary replied: "The senior officers of their respective companies will answer." (The officers were called by the Secretary and took position in front of the President.) The President repeated: "Where are these absent comrades of your respective companies whose names have been called?" The officers in concert answered: " Having served their country with true patriotic devotion, they fell in the battles for the Union and lie dead on the field of honor." The President said: "It is sweet and beautiful to die for ones country. In their fall it is manifest that the spirit of revolutionary sires is not dead. May their names be kept in perpetual remem brance and their graves forever green. Their devotion and patriot ism, with that of their comrades, dead and living, who stood by their sides in battle, has taught the lesson of the Government 1 that whosoever falls upon it will be broken, and upon whomsoever it shall fall it will grind to powder. " The anthem "America" was now sung by the survivors, led by Lieutenant S. T. Jackman, after which Captain George W. Nieman delivered the prayer. TRANSFER OF MONUMENT. By Captain Henry C. Potter: " By virtue of the power vested in me as Chairman of the Com mittee to represent the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry Association to co-operate with the commissioners appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania under the provisions of an act of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, approved June 15, 1887, the said Committee having approved of the design which was accepted by the said Commissioners and the monument standing here erected in accordance therewith, and by and with the consent and authority from said Commissioners, I hereby transfer, subject to the general transfer to-morrow, this monument to the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association, through you, its representatives, that it may be kept in commemoration of loyal men and in remembrance of of noble deeds, thus encouraging a love for the Union in the ages to come." The monument was received by Lieutenant John Rogers for the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association. The President of the association now introduced the orator of the day, as follows: DEDICATION OF THE MONUMENT. 171 " I now call upon one who, severing the ties of friendship at his home in a Confederate State Tennessee entered the service of his country, fresh from his Alma Mater. He has often led you in battle, and upon this field, on or near the very spot on which you now stand, shed his blood in the defense of the Union to which he was so true and loved so well." Lieutenant Colonel John W. Phillips then rose and delivered the following oration: THE ORATION. Comrades, Ladies and Friends of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry: More than twenty-six years have passed since upon this battle field the armies representing the embodiment of the forces then contending for supremacy in this country, met in desperate conflict. The battle fought here, being the first and last that was fought on distinctively loyal ground, has made this field more memorable than any other of the great struggle, and because of the issues involved, the length, intensity and fierceness of the combat, the numbers engaged, and the results that followed, Gettysburg has become one of the most distinguished spots on the face of the globe. And this would be true if no monument marked the line where the conflict raged, and if no mound of earth were heaped about the now silent forms of those who fell, and who, by their falling, testified the devotion they had for the cause in which they were engaged. This historic field marks the high-tide of the great Rebellion. The veterans under Lee, flushed with a series of successes that rendered them, in their own esteem, invincible, came to this field, with the eclat of victory almost sounding in their ears, and with a full real ization of the consequence of the defeat of the Union arms. The grand Army of the Potomac, hampered by the orders, constantly given, to guard the National Capitol, with every movement par tially crippled by this controlling idea, yet loyal to the core, and determined to do or die, in the effort to preserve the Union, menaced also by foes at home and abroad, came to these heights with a reso lution such as had at no time met the enemy before, and through out the fierce contest, it held its ground with a tenacity of purpose that showed death alone could break the line sufficiently for the enemy to pass. As one of the regiments which took part in this battle, and in the exciting scenes and incidents that form the history of the great struggle, we meet to-day on this historic field. The grand old Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, true to the in stinct that caused her sons in 1861 - 2 and 3 to lay aside the im plements of peace, and with an alacrity theretofore unknown, seize those of war, and go to the rescue of the National life regardless of consequences personal to themselves, as a tribute to their devoted loyalty, has provided means whereby in granite, in marble or in 172 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. bronze, the part they took, and the places whereat they stood, in the battle-line shall be marked and known. Supplementing, as this act of the State of Pennsylvania does, the private enterprise of many of the regiments engaged, and the similar action of many loyal states, it has come to be, that the history of Gettysburg can be read in the monuments which mark and dot the battle-line from one end to the other, and now, "he who runs may read" the story of the conflict and of the men who participated in it. The boulevard opened by the Gettysburg Battle-field Memorial Association marks the whole line of battle of the last day s struggle- It is fitting that, on this line, every foot of which has been moistened with the life blood of some loyal son, and every rod of which is now lighted up with the reflection from some polished shaft erected to mark the flood tide of the heroism of the regiments that stood and knew no yielding, we, the survivors of the Eighteenth Pennsylvana Cavalry, should meet and solemnly dedicate this monument, which; on this same extended line, has been erected on the spot where we stood that day, as a moment o of the fact that we participated in the grand event. The State of Pennsylvania by appropriating the fund to meet its cost, evinces a recognition of the services we there rendered, and a tender love and sympathy for the memories of those who in conflict fell and gave their lives as a sacrifice to the altar of the country. And in rearing this mounment and dedicating it to the world, along with the long number of others already placed and dedicated, another witness is added, to bear testimony forever, to the faithful service and terrible sacrifice that was made to preserve and per petuate the Government of our fathers. No one can ever properly or fully appreciate the sacrifices made by those who entered the service of the country, to scotch and then stamp out the great Rebellion, unless the circumstances then sur rounding are taken into account. This Nation at the beginning of the war had comparatively no trained soldiers. For more than a generation proceeding the yeomanry of the land had been taught to cultivate the arts of peace. The swords and guns of Bunker Hill and Yorktown, while the traditions of the conflicts that gave them prominence were still lovingly treasured, had been, in fact, beaten into plow-shares and pruning hooks ; and resting under the supposed protection of the mighty aegis of the Constitution and laws of the land, the minds of nearly all had turned to, and thought had crystallized on the peaceful pursuits of trade, commerce and agri culture. Those who had been taught in the schools the theory of war could almost be counted on the fingers of one s hand. The shock of battle and the duties and hardships of camp were exper iences new, and to all untried. It is true much had been said and threatened by the men of the South who stirred up the conflict, but to those of the North who DEDICATION OF THE MONUMENT. 173 prized liberty, and who felt the thrill of patriotic love which knit them to their country, the threats were considered as idle, and the mutterings they gave forth, but as empty vaporings. They could not believe the purpose to break up the Government was seriously entertained, and never, until the shot went crashing through the walls of Sumter did they waken to the sense of the awful reality. Then at once, as if by magic, the dormant patriotism of the people stirred as in a whirlwind s rush. Men stopped not to count the cost, but, in every department of peaceful pursuit, they laid aside the implements of peace and began to prepare for war. The plow was literally left standing in the furrow of the half-turned field. The sound of the anvil, the rush of the plane and the busy whir of the spindle ceased. The merchant s clerk left his scissors and yard stick, the lawyer his briefs and the scholar his books. The campus of schools and colleges became, instead of playgrounds of students, the drill grounds for the same young men who had caught the fever of patriotic fervor. The spirit of the Spartan possessed the wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts, and they, while awed with the shadow of a great fear as to the result, yet, cheerfully, though tearfully, bade their loved ones go, and die, if need be, in defense of the Country s flag. ***** * The war had progressed more than a year before the organization of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry commenced. Some of its officers and many of its members had gone into the service at the call of the President for the first 75,000 three-months volunteers, and had from that service been discharged. Under the call of the President issued on the second day of July, 1862, for 300,000 volun teers, it came into being. It was a volunteer regiment, the men going from their homes into it from a sense of the duty they owed their country. They were not spurred on to take this step by any sudden impulse of patriotism, aroused by the first flashes of the great conflict, but they volunteered and went to the front after the land had been filled with mourners, and after most of them had followed loved ones, sent home from the front to die, to their graves. They went when what this cruel war meant was fully known and realized, and at a time when the fortunes of the contest seemed to be most favorable for the enemy. Amid the depression caused by the disaster to the Union arms in the Summer and Autumn of 1862, the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry came into existence. It was a noble body of men. They went from their homes impelled by a love of country and a supreme conviction of duty, and none braver of truer than they ever went to battle. It would be a grate ful task to-day in this presence to call the roll of the honored dead and mention personally the names and deeds of each one of our number who fell in the long contest. They are too many for this. You will each recall them and how they went down to their death, and to-day as each one of us rereads the list by memory the tear will 174 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. steal unbidden and we will all rise to a loftier estimate of our Country s worth, and be filled with a deeper love for its flag than we have ever felt. As near as we have been able to ascertain from the muster rolls on file with the Adjutant General (see letters of Jan. 18th and March 2, 1889, from the Adjutant General s office) and from the daily diary kept by some of the officers of the regiment and other sources of the most trustworthy information, the casualties in the Eighteenth Regiment during the term of its service were: Killed in action and died of wounds received in action, 5 officers and 56 enlisted men; died of disease and other causes unknown, 2 officers and 229 enlisted men, making a total death roll of 292. Of these 131 died in Confederate prisons and their bones have been gathered in the beautiful cemeteries in the South, so generously provided and so jealously guarded by the Government for which they gave their lives. The records show that 8 officers and 165 enlisted men were wounded in action, and that 13 officers and 334 enlisted men were captured in battle, making an aggregate of killed, wounded died and missing of the regiment the sum total, 812. ******** We stand here to-day, where we stood on that fateful afternoon so long ago (July 3, 1863) and as we in words try to picture our regiments position in this glorious campaign and battle, we find how weak they are to place in proper setting the real part we took. Tis only true that from the time the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry broke camp at Fairfax C. H., Va., on the 21st day of June to the day that the beaten and dispirited army of Lee found itself again on the south side of the Rapahannock it did its duty. And although it was not its fortune to lose on this particular line of battle a large number of men, yet, that it did not do so is due only to chance of war. It went with gallantry and zeal where it was ordered and did its duty and accepted without murmur the soldier s fate. Whether it was called upon to form in face of a furious and sudden and wholly unexpected charge and drive back the enemy, as at Hanover, or to move through the woods upon a concealed foe, as on this line at Gettysburg, or to charge in the darkness upon a guarded train, the position of which could only be known by the flashes of the muskets that defended it, as at Monterey Springs, or into the face of overwhelming numbers of an advancing column, as at Hagerstown, or to do any or all of the exhausting and exacting duties that the campaign involved, in no instance did the regiment come short of doing its full duty. And as all these marchings and wanderings and skirmishings and chargings, so clustered around Gettysburg, as in my judgment to be a part of it, I am sure that in accepting the compliment that the erection of this monument means, on this sacred spot, this regiment can be guilty of no pre sumption. In the days to come there will be no higher honor for DEDICATION OF THE MONUMENT. 175 any regiment than to be able to show truthfully that it did true and faithful work in producing the result at Gettysburg. This we claim. We would detract from the merits of none other of the long line of heroes who for the common cause stood with us touching arms on this extended line, but with them we would claim the honor of doing our share towards the grand accomplishment. As has been shown by what I have already said, the boys of the Eighteenth were not veterans when this battle was fought. They had for the first time since their enlistment met the enemy in stern combat in this campaign at Gettysburg. The high, resolute and unflinching courage that carried them through the severe trials, was but an earnest of what they would do when called in the long struggle that followed and which found its end at Appomatox. Of the fifty-one battles which the monument before me testifies it took part in, Gettysburg stands the fourth in the list. Time would fail me to follow along the line of march extending from Gettysburg in July, 1863 to April, 1865, over which the regiment passed, and tell of its battles and skirmishes, of its long winter nights of picket duty, its long summer days of marching and scout ing and fighting until the end came. How with Kilpatrick and the gallant Dahlgren it rode from the Rapidan to Richmond and thence to Yorktown, inside the enemy s lines without unsaddling its horses. How it led the advance of Grant s Army across the Rapidan and into the Wilderness, when the famous battles of the Wilderness were beginning. And how when, in the fierce clashes with the advanceing columns of Lee, it was surrounded and re ported captured, it cut its way out with the loss of Major Darlington desperately wounded and 25 men captured, and came into the brigade camp about midnight, so much to the surprise of General Wilson, commanding the division that he sent at once to regimental headquarters a bottle of wine with a card attached on which was written, "Here s to the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalryj who know how to fight into and also to fight out of a tight place." How it followed Sheridan in that dashing ride around Lee s left and on to Richmond and City Point, fighting the battle of Yellow Tavern, near Richmond, in which the famous cavalry leader, J. E. B. Stuart, was killed and his cavalry corps repulsed and driven headlong in to the Confederate Capitol. How with the same re splendent leader, after he was assigned to the command of the Union forces in the Valley of Virginia, it took an honored part in all the victories in the Shenandoah over the redoubtable General Early, and how, under command of such leaders as Generals Wilson and Custer, it helped to make the Cavalry Corps of that army in vincible. The record is one which before the contest closed won for the regiment the soubriquet of the "Fighting Eighteenth," is one of which every soldier of it may well be proud, and is in every part an honor to the State of Pennsylvania. 176 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. In dedicating this monument, therefore, erected on this spot under such auspices and prompted by such motives as we have faintly detailed, I feel that I can justly claim in the name of all the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, whether living or dead, the right to tender the profoundest thanks to the grand old Common wealth whose magnanimity has conceived and whose generosity completed it. To you of the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association, its keeping is irrevocably committed. Take and care for it, and may it ever stand in its place on this line, so that when in the aftertime our children and children s children visit these scenes, they may be reminded of the honored part their fathers took in this battle which saved the Nation s life, and from it gather inspiration that shall lead them to a loftier patriotism and a deeper love for our country and its flag. The oration being ended the benediction was pronounced and "taps" sounded. REGIMENTAL ROSTER THE ROSTER. EXPLANATORY NOTES.* THIS roster was made more than twenty-five years after the war, a surviving officer of each company having supplied the data from copies of the rolls remaining in their possession. All in formation possible was also obtained from the records in the War De partment at Washington. It has been, however, impossible to make it satisfactory in every respect. Want of space has compelled brevity and conciseness. In many cases complete information could not be obtained as neither the soldier nor his relatives and friends could be found. A great many drafted men were assigned to the regiment who never reported to it and, consequently, were never properly identified with it, so that their names have no rightful place in its history. At the close of the war, after the fighting was all over, quite a number of men, many of them very worthy soldiers, tired and impatient at their continuance in the service, did as many of the veterans of Lee did when they found their cause hopeless left and went home. These were designated by the remarks " not on muster out roll " and " absent at muster out." Some of those so designated, however, were men on detached service, or in hospital, who were mustered out elsewhere, and whose records in the rolls of their companies were never com pleted. A number of years ago, the War Department gave notice that no information of this nature would be supplied and so there has been no way to perfect the roster. In the main, however, it is hoped that it will prove to be correct and satisfactory. Let it be remembered that this history is not intended to be a record of individuals, but of the regiment as a fighting unit. Discharge by General Order (Dis. by G. O.) refers generally to General Order 83, under which the greater part of the armies was mustered out at the close of the war. If in some cases of casualty there is a more complete history than in others, it is because the men were living and furnished the particulars given, or because it happened for some reason to be recorded more particularly on the company rolls. However, if a complete record of each member of the regiment were given, it would in itself make a large book. Many men, modest and inconspicuous as they were brave, performed deeds of valor which would have entitled them to medals of honor had there been any one to record their bravery. *The date following each name is that of commission or muster into service. 180 EIGHTEENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY.

THE following contains the names and addresses of the survivors of the Eighteenth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, to date. The secretary of the regimental association has en deavored to keep the list correct so far as possible. The names and addresses of each company have been submitted to one or two sur vivors of that company, addresses corrected, and those known to be dead eliminated; a few names have been added to former list. There are undoubtedly names on this list of those deceased. There are also no doubt, survivors of the regiment whose names and addresses are not in the following list. This list as now revised is therefore given for what it is worth, it having been used for purposes of reunions of the regiment. May, 1909. FIELD AND STAFF OFFICERS. Gen. T. F.
