REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 1861-1865 A TREATISE ON THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF THE MORTUARY LOSSES IN THE UNION REGIMENTS, WITH FULL AND EXHAUSTIVE STATISTICS COMPILED FROM THE OFFICIAL RECORDS ON FILE IN THE STATE MILITARY BUREAUS AND AT WASHINGTON.

Y. PREFACE. some it may appear that the publication of a work like this belongs properly within the province of the General Government, and that a citizen in private life should not presume to offer information on official matters. In reply it should be stated that this work is offered only as a convenient digest of official publications already issued by the General Government, or State Military Bureaus, to which have been added some original exhibits deduced from official statistics heretofore published and unpublished. The Adjutant-General s office at Washington has been engaged for several years on the publication of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. The work is admirably done, but it is of surprising magnitude, and cannot be completed for many years. It already fills so many large volumes that it is too bulky and costly for the ordinary student. Then, again, there are peculiar and interesting deductions which do not come within the scope of the Government work, but which find a proper place within these pages. The present volume has been undertaken with the belief that a convenient and accurate summary of the official statistics would be an acceptable addition to the history of the war. Some details of minor importance have been omitted, as the work is designed for the benefit of advanced students, and it is assumed that the reader is already familiar with the more important points in the history of the events alluded to. There has been a dearth of official information regarding a certain class of regimental statistics which are essential to the history of the war, and are of interest, not only to the surviving participants, but to all who are interested in the story. Regimental affaire are of more importance to the average soldier than Corps or Army matters ; and, so, an effort has been made to supply within these pages certain facts regarding regimental losses which are outside the province of the Government publications. It is with pleasure that acknowledgment is made of courtesies extended by the Adjutant-Generals of the various State Military Bureaus, and the Adjutant-General s office at Washington. Without their kindly assistance the work could not have been completed. No statistics are given here that are not warranted by the official records. The work represents the patient and conscientious labor of years. Days, and often weeks, have been spent on the figures of each regiment. It is hoped that before disputing any essential fact, a like careful examination of the records will be made. Having done that, if any fail to reconcile facts and statements, they will confer a favor by addressing a communication on the matter, so that an opportunity may be afforded to explain the seeming discrepancy, or, if an error, to correct it in a subsequent edition.

CHAPTER I. THE CASUALTIES OF WAR --MAXIMUM OF KILLED IN UNION REGIMENTS - MAXIMUM OF PERCENTAGES. V\7"A.RS and battles are considered great in proportion to the loss of life resulting from them. Bloodless battles excite no interest. A campaign of manoeuvres is accorded but a small place in history. There have been battles as decisive as Waterloo and Gettysburg ; but they cost few lives and never became historic. Great as were the results, Waterloo and Gettysburg would receive but little mention were it not for the terrible cost at which the results were obtained. Still, it is difficult to comprehend fully what is implied by the figures which represent the loss of life in a great battle or a war. As the numbers become great, they convey no different idea, whether they be doubled or trebled. It is only when the losses are considered in detail by regiments, for instance that they can be definitely understood. The regiment is the unit of organization. It is to the army what a family is to the city. It has a well known limit of size, and its losses are intelligible ; just as a loss in a family am l>e understood, while the greater figures of the city s mortuary statistics leave no impression on the mind. The history of a battle or a war should always l>e studied in connection with the figures which show the losses. By overlooking them an indefinite, and often erroneous, idea is obtained. By neglecting them, many historians fail to develop the important points of the contest. They use the same rhetorical description for different attacks, whether the pressure was strong or weak ; the loss, great or small ; the fight, bloody or harmless. To properly understand the relative importance of the various movements on a battle lit -Id, the student must know the loss of life at the different points of the line. He will then see where the points of contact really were ; where the pressure was greatest ; where the scenes of valor and heroism occurred. There is no better way of doing this than by noting the place in the line held by the various regiments and ascertaining the loss of life in each. There were over two thousand regiments in the Union Armies. On some of these the brunt of battle frll much heavier than on others. \Vhile some were exempted from the 2 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. dangers of active service, others were continually at the front. While some were seldom called upon to face the enemy s fire, others were repeatedly ordered into the thickest of the fight. While in some regiments the number of killed was small, in others the Roll of Honor was unequaled in the records of modern wars. Who were these men who fought so well in defense of their flag ? What were the names and numbers of their regiments ? What were the losses in these regiments ? What limit is there to the toll of blood exacted from a regimental thousand during a long and bloody war ? The one regiment, in. all the Union Armies, which sustained the greatest loss in battle, during the American Civil War, was the Fifth New Hampshire Infantry.* It lost 295 men, killed or mortally wounded in action, during its four years of service, from 1861 to 1865. It served in the First Division, Second Corps. This division was commanded, successively, by Generals Richardson, Hancock, Caldwell, Barlow, and Miles ; and any regiment that followed the fortunes of these men was sure to find plenty of bloody work cut out for it. The losses of the Fifth New Hampshire occurred entirely in aggressive, hard, stand-up fighting ; none of it happened in routs or through blunders. Its loss includes eighteen officers killed, a number far in excess of the usual proportion, and indicates that the men were bravely led. Its percentage of killed is also very large, especially as based on the original enrollment. The exact percentage of the total enrollment cannot be definitely ascertained, as the rolls were loaded down in 1864 with the names of a large number of conscripts and bounty men who never joined the regiment. The second highest in the list of infantry regiments having the greatest number killed in battle, is the Eighty-third Pennsylvania, which lost 282 officers and men who died while fighting for the Union. This was a Fifth Corps regiment, serving in MorelPs afterwards Griffin s First Division. Two of its Colonels were killed, and a third was badly wounded and crippled for life. It was a splendid regiment, well officered and well drilled. It suffered a severe loss in killed, by percentage, as well as in numbers. The next regiment on the list is the Seventh Wisconsin Infantry, of the famous Iron Brigade, Wadsworth s (First) Division, First Corps. This gallant regiment stands high in the list, Because of its many battles and the persistency with which it would hold its ground in the face of the deadliest musketry. By glancing at the table of percentages, it will be seen that the Seventh occupies an honorable place in that list also. Next, among the regiments sustaining the greatest loss in action, stands the Fifth Michigan, of the Third Corps, in which 263 were killed ; and next, comes the Twentieth Massachusetts, of the Second Corps, with a credit of 260 killed in battle. The following table will show clearly the relative position of the leading infantry regiments in point of numerical loss. It embraces every infantry regiment in the Union Annies which lost over 200 men, killed or mortally wounded in action, during the war.

It may be of interest to state here that on the records of the War Department some of these regiments are not credited with quite so many men killed ; and, that if a tabulation were to be made from the official figures at Washington, the relative positions of some of these regiments would have to be slightly changed. In the first five regiments the Seventh Wisconsin would head the list, and the Fifth New Hampshire would stand third instead of first ; while the Eighty-third Pennsylvania, the Fifth Michigan and the Twentieth Massa chusetts would still hold, respectively, the second, fourth and fifth places, as before. The records of the War Department show as follows : 7th Wisconsin . 280 killed or died of wounds. 83d Pennsylvania . 278 " " " 5th New Hampshire 277 " " " " " 5th Michigan .... 262 " " " " 20th Massachusetts 257 " " " " " This difference arises from the fact that in each regiment there were men borne on the muster-out rolls as "missing in action," whose fate had not been determined at the close of the war, at which time these rolls were made out. But, since then, many of the States have made strenuous efforts to ascertain the fate of these men. New Hampshire, for instance, published a supplement to its printed muster-out rolls, m which it accounts definitely for most of its missing, the State Adjutant-General having obtained, from various sources, satisfactory evidence that these men were killed. But the War Department declines and very properly to account for missing men as killed until they receive official information to that effect. The official channels, through which such information must come, are the original records of the muster-out rolls ; the final statements, as they are technically termed ; and the affidavits vvhich may accompany a pension claim. Now, the State of New Hampshire, and other States as well, have ascertained definitely that many of their missing men were killed, and have revised their records accordingly;* but, if these missing men have no heirs to prosecute their claims at the Pension Office, the records at Washington will remain unchanged, and the men will still be recorded there, not among the killed, but as missing. The mortuary statistics in these pages are compiled largely from State records ; hence, the figures in many cases will exceed those of the War Office. The variation, however, is not important enough to warrant this digression were it not for the honest endeavor to arrive at exactness, and to forestall any possible misunderstanding or controversy. In treating here of the matter of losses in battle, or otherwise, each regiment will be considered by itself. Hence, it is important that the student before going further should understand thoroughly the size and formation of a regiment, in order to comprehend the extent and nature of the loss. Otherwise, the figures would have little or no meaning. The infantry regiments, which formed the bulk of the army, had a maximum of organization beyond which recruiting was not allowed. There was, also, a minimum of strength which must be obtained before a regiment could be accepted. An infantry command consisted of ten companies of foot, and the Field and Staff : the latter were mounted, and consisted of the Colonel and such officers as were not attached to the company formations. The maximum formation was as follows ; * Xew Hampshire- : Adjutant-General s Kuport, 1806 : Vol. I. Kt>UM \TIMN AND | \ K |.;|MKNT.

The newly recruited regiments, accordingly, ranged in numbers from 845 to 1025. The most of them left their rendezvous with full ranks, especially those which were raised under the second call for troops, in 1862. As their numbers became reduced by disease and wounds, fresh recruits were added, so that the total enrollment of a regiment was often increased several hundred before its term of service expired. Nominally, an infantry regiment consisted of one thousand men, less the depletion incidental to its service, the actual nunnVr of effectives being far below the nominal one. In addition to the infantry, there were 32 regiments of heavy artillery in the volunteer service. It would be unnecessary to mention these were it not that the heaviest loss in battle, of any regimental organization, occurred in two of these regiments, each of which lost more men killed than the Fifth New Hampshire. But, owing to their larger organization and different formation, they must be considered secondly, and in a class by themselves. A regiment of heavy artillery contained 1800 men, divided into 12 companies of 150 ; attached to each company were five line officers a captain and four lieutenants. The regiment was divided into three battalions of four companies, with each battalion under the command of a Major. There was but one Colonel and one Lt. Colonel, as in infantry. These troops performed garrison duty, serving mostly within the fortifications around Washington, or in the coast defences where heavy ordnance was used. In the spring of 1864, most of the heavy artillery regiments within the defences of Washington were ordered to the front, where they served as infantry, and took an active part in the campaign. The heaviest loss in this arm of the service and, also, in any regiment of the army- occurred in the First Maine Heavy Artillery, of Birney s Division, Second Corps. During its term of service it lost 23 officers and 400 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded in battle. This regiment is remarkable, also, for its large percentage of loss ; for the large numl>er of officei-s killed ; and, for having sustained in a certain engagement the greatest loss of any regiment in any one battle. The First Maine H. A. did not take the field until May, 1864, 6 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. having served the two previous years in the fortifications of Washington. Its fighting and all its losses occurred within a period of ten months. The next greatest loss in the heavy artillery is found in the Eighth New York, of Gibbon s Division, Second Corps, in which regiment 19 officers and 342 enlisted men were killed or died of wounds during their three years term of service. Like the First Maine, it did not go to the front nor see any fighting until the last year of its service, all its losses occuring during the last ten months of the war. The following list embraces all the heavy artillery regiments in which the number of killed, or died of wounds, exceeded two hundred : KILLED AND DIED OF WOUNDS. HEAVY ARTILLERY. Regiment. Division.

In fact, it comprised two regiments one in the Ninth, and one in the Eighteenth Corps. In the spring of 1864, the regiment, 1800 strong, joined the Second Division of the Eighteenth Corps, at Cold Harbor. The surplus men had been previously formed into a provisional " regiment with the same designation, and assigned to the Ninth Corps. The most of the losses occurred in this provisional command. A cavalry regiment numbered 1200 men, nominally, and was divided into twelve companies of one hundred each. They did not suffer such severe losses in particular engagements as did the infantry, but their losses were divided among a great many more battles. The cavalry went into action very much oftener than infantry. Although mounted and armed with sabres, much of their fighting was done dismounted, and with carbines. The mounted regiments which lost the most men, killed or fatally wounded in action, were the following : Regiment. Division. Corps. Officers. Men. Tolal. 1st Maine Gregg s Cavalry, A.

In the other batteries, however, the losses represent a long series of battles in which they rendered effective service, and participated with honor to themselves and the arm of the service to which they belonged. Among the light batteries of the Regular Army, equally heavy losses occurred in the following famous commands : B" "K" "I" "D" "C" "H" 4th U. S. Artillery 4th U. S. Artillery 1st U. S.

" "Thomas ." The foregoing pages show accurately the limit of loss in the various regimental organizations in the civil war. The figures will probably fall below the prevalent idea as to the numl)er killed in certain regiments ; but these figures are the only ones that the muster out rolls will warrant, and no others can be accepted. True, there are many errors in the rolls ; but they have been thoroughly revised and corrected. There have been too many careless, extravagant statements made regarding losses in action. Officei-s have claimed losses for their regiments, which are sadly at variance with the records which they certified as correct at the close of the war muster-out rolls which they made out themselves, and on which they accounted for each man in their command. If any veteran is surprised at the figures given here and feels disposed to question their accuracy, let him first carefully examine the muster-out rolls of his regiment. It will not l>e necessary to 8 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. exaggerate the result. To the thoughtful, the truth will be sensational enough : the correct figures are amply heroic, and are unsurpassed in the annals of war. The number of men killed in a regiment during its term of service has thus far been considered only in respect to the maximum of loss, and the result is of value only so far as it defines the limit of casualties to which regiments of this size are exposed. But, though similar in formation, the regiments varied in numbers according to the recruits or transferred men received. Some regiments received large numbers of recruits to make good their losses, while other commands went through the war with constantly lessening ranks and carried only the original thousand, or less, upon their rolls. Some regiments which reenlisted at the end of their three years term received large accessions from other commands which, returning home, left detachments in the field "composed of recruits with unexpired terms, or reenlisted men. Distinction must be made, in the matter of losses in action, between the regiments whose ranks were always kept full, and the ones which received no fresh material. In short, the proper way to judge of the relative losses of regiments during their term of service is to accompany the statement of the losses with the figures of the total enrollment, and compare the percentages as well as the losses. The regiments in the following list can fairly claim the honor of having encountered the hardest fighting in the war. They may not have done the most effective fighting, nor the best fighting ; but they evidently stood where the danger was thickest, and were the ones which faced the hottest musketry. They were all well-known, reliable commands, and served with unblemished records. The maximum of loss is reached in this table : KILLED AND DIED OP WOUNDS. MAXIMUM PERCENTAGES OF ENROLLMENT.

It shows the ch;m< -es which a man takes when he enlists. The figures, however, are the result of the weapons and mode of fighting of twenty years ago. Since then, muzzle-loading rifles have l)een dispensed with. Still, in the Franco-Prussian war, in which the troops were armed with breech-loaders, there was no increase in the percentage of casualties. In fact, the old muzzle- loaders were capahle of delivering a hotter fire than any body of troops could withstand. At Marye s Heights and Cemetery Ridge, the bravest of assaulting columns recoiled from their fire ; breech -loaders could have done no more. There was a limit of punishment beyond which endurance would not go, and the old Springfield rifle was capable of inflicting it. Hut the figures of the Second Wisconsin, and of the other regiments as well, fail to show the full percentage of loss : the actual percentage was much larger. The figures given are based upon the total enrollment of the regiment, and necessarily include the non-combatants- the musicians, teamsters, company cooks, officers servants, Surgeon s assistants, and Quarter master s men ; also, the sick, the detailed men, and absentees of all kinds. If the percentage were based on the numlxn 1 of men who were accustomed to follow the colors into action, the figures would be still more startling. But there is no place to draw a dividing line, and so the total enrollment must be taken. As all regiments were pretty much alike in respect to the number of non-combatants, it shows fairly their relative positions in I>oint of loss. These figures, let it be remembered, include only the killed and mortally wounded. To understand their full significance, one must bear in mind the additional loss of wounded men who survived their injuries many of them surviving only to drag their marred and crippled lives along a lower plane of existence. In the Second Wisconsin nearly i)oo men were killed or wounded, leaving but few unharmed of those who carried arms. In stating the total enrollment of a regiment, the statistician is often in doubt as to what figures may be fairly used. In the Second Wisconsin there were two companies K. The first one remained with the regiment but a few weeks and was then permanently detached. Its place was taken by another company which was recruited in October, 1861. It would, manifestly, be unfair to include both companies in the enrollment, and so the first was not counted. Yet, the first company K was with the regiment in the battle of First Bull Run, and lost in that action one man killed and two missing. As this loss is included in the figures given for the Second Wisconsin, absolute accuracy would demand their subtraction before calculating the percentage. The regiment would, however, still remain at the head of the list in the table of percentages. In the case of the First Maine Heavy Artillery a careful discrimination was also necessary. The enrollment given here includes the original regiment, together with all recruits received prior to the close of the war. But, in June, 1865 two months after the war had closed the regiment received a large accession from the Seventeenth and Nineteenth Maine Infantry. These latter commands had been mustered out, upon which the recruits with unexpired terms of service were transferred to the First Maine Heavy Artillery. These men trans ferred after the war had ended are not included in the enrollment, as they formed no part of the body under consideration in the matter of percentage of loss. Their number had already entered into the calculation of the regiments in which they had previously served. A careful examination of the rolls of the First Maine Heavy Artillery, name by name, shows that 2202 men only were enrolled prior to the surrender at Appomattox. A similar case is found in the Fifty-seventh Massachusetts, which carried 1052 names, officers and enlisted men, on its rolls up to the close of the war. On the !>th of August, 1865- four months after the fighting had ceased its rolls were increased by a transfer of the 10 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. Fifty-ninth Massachusetts, which was consolidated with it. The names thus added were not included in the enrollment under consideration. In the following table will be found every regiment in which the loss in killed and died of Avounds exceeded ten per cent, of the total enrollment : REGIMENTAL PERCENTAGES OF KILLED DURING ENTIRE TERM OF SERVICE.

In some cases deduction was made for large bodies of conscripts which never joined the regiment, although their names were borne upon the rolls ; also, for accessions of substitutes and drafted men who did not reach the regiment until the fighting had practically ended. Partial enrollments were used in calculating the percentages of the Second Massachusetts, Third Wisconsin, Twentieth Massachusetts, Seventh West Virginia, Eighty-second New York, and Eighty-third New York. There were many regiments which would appear in the preceding table of high percentages were it not that their rolls were unduly swelled by useless names ; by conscripts and merce- * Berdau s Sharpshooters. RKGIMKNT.M. PKKCKNT A<;KS <n KII.I.I ,i> 15 naries wh<> deserted on their way to the front ; and by transfers from disbanded regiments, in which t<>.> large a nnml>er of the men appeared on the transfer papers only. An attempt has been made in the succeeding pages to render justice to such regiments by tabulating the original enrollment separately, and stating the percentage of killed as based on that. In the Fifth New Hampshire, which does not ap}X3ar in the table of high percentages, 17.!) jnjr cent, of the original regiment were killed or mortally wounded. Care was necessary, also, to avoid counting names twice, as in many regiments men were transferred from one company to another, their names appearing on the muster out rolls of each company. In the printed rolls of the New Jersey troops these men are counted twice in the recapitulation which appears at the end of each regimental roll, thereby increasing, appar ently, the quota of men furnished, but lowering the percentage of killed. Still, the printed rolls of the New Jersey regiments are in better shape than those of any other State, and are highly creditable to the authorities who had charge of the publication In the regimental rolls published by Massachusetts, the names of those who reenlisted appear twice ; and in all the State rolls names are duplicated more or less as the result of transfers or consolidation of companies. On the War Department records, a man who reenlisted was counted as two men, and so credited on the quota of the State. In the figures given here, pains have been taken to avoid counting a man more than once, the intention being that the total enrollment should show exactly the number of individuals who served iu each regiment. H CHAPTER II. MAXIMUM OF REGIMENTAL LOSS IN KILLED IN ANY ONE BATTLE - PROPORTION OF WOUNDED TO KILLED. AVING- arrived at the maximum of killed in a regiment during its term of service with its many battles, the question naturally arises as to the greatest number killed in any one action. There has been a great deal of exaggeration regarding regimental losses in particular battles, especially in instances where the loss was comparatively small ; while some regiments which really sustained heroic losses are never mentioned in this particular. The figures in connection with this subject are interesting, as they show the extreme limit of loss in human life during a battle, in a regiment of the size common to the American Armies. Larger figures, of course, may be found in the casualty lists of the German regiments in the Franco-Prussian war, but these regiments contained three times as many men. Although the casualty lists of a regiment are always stated in killed, wounded, and missing, the appended list shows only the killed, including those who died of their wounds. Farther on, in the "List of Battles, with Regiments sustaining Highest Loss in Each," these same losses are given again, showing the number of killed, wounded, and missing ; but in that table the mortally wounded are included with the wounded instead of with the killed. The surviving wounded and the missing are omitted in the following list, in order to emphasize the more important feature of the loss, and the consequent relative position of the various regiments in this respect. The losses of the different commands can be compared better by eliminating the somewhat indefinite factor of the wounded and missing, and tabu lating the regiments with regard only to the killed and died of wounds. This list has been prepared after a careful examination of the muster-out rolls of every regiment whose losses would indicate that they might possibly have a place in this column. In each case the rolls have been examined name by name, in order to count the ones recorded there as killed or mortally wounded in the battles mentioned. The list includes every regiment in the Union Armies which sustained, in any one battle, a loss in killed or mortally wounded of fifty or more. The First Maine Heavy Artillery took 050 officers and men into the assault on Petersburg, June 18th, ISfJ-t, and the Fifth New York took 4-iM) into the fight at Manassas. These figures must be borne in mind in case of a comparison with the maximum battle-loss of regiments in foreign wars. Still higher percentages, however, occurred at times during the Civil War, and will be found recorded farther on. M \\IMIM <>! Loss IN I AKTK i i.

They had been in too many battles and sustained heavy losses in too many of them, to allow a surpris ing loss in any one. Notably among such were the Twentieth and Twenty-eighth Massachu setts, the Fourteenth Connecticut, the Ninth Maine, the Second New Hampshire, the Forty- fourth, Fifty-first, and Sixty-first New York, the Forty-fifth, Fifty-third, Eighty- first, and One Hundredth Pennsylvania, the Fifth Michigan, the Fifth and Sixth Wisconsin, the Twentieth and Twenty-seventh Indiana, the Fifteenth Ohio, and the Forty-second Illinois. In these figures the mortally wounded are included with the killed, as the object is to state clearly the loss of life in each instance instead of the total casualties. The proportion of the wounded to the number killed or died of wounds is very near 2.5. This ratio is based on the figures, after the mortally wounded have been deducted from the wounded and added to the killed. This ratio of 2. 5 must not be confounded with the one representing the usual propor tion of wounded to killed, as shown in statements of aggregate losses in battle. In such losses the proportion of wounded to the killed is about 4.8, the mortally wounded being always included with the wounded ; for the casualty lists are made up at the close of the battle, and with the killed are included only those who died on the field. In all such state ments of killed, wounded, and missing the mortally wounded are necessarily included with the wounded, and the word killed refers only to those who were killed outright, or died within a few hours. The proportion of 4. 8 is an average ratio as regards the aggregate of losses in battle, but is not a constant one. It varies somewhat, the proportion of killed increasing where the fighting is close and destructive, while in long range fighting the proportion of wounded increases. * This regiment appears again in this same list.

Their relative proportion cannot 1x3 ascertained, but it probably would not differ enough from the usual ratio to change the average to any extent. In the preceding table the losses at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Cliickamauga, and Drewry s Bluff are omitted. 24 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. In those battles the Union Armies lost possession of the field, and consequently a large number of the killed are included with the missing so large a number that any ratio based on the casualties of these battles would be misleading. In the German army, during the Franco-Prussian war, the proportion of wounded to the killed was 5.4, and the proportion of wounded to the killed and mortally wounded was 3.02.* Mr. Kirkley, the statistician of the War Department, states the deaths from battles during the Civil War at 110,070, of which 67,058 are classified as killed in action, and 43,012 as having died of womids. From this it appears that, 011 the average, the mortally wounded are equal to 64 per cent, of the killed, f Hence, the proportion of wounded to killed may be expressed by the following formulas, the first showing the proportion where the mortally wounded are included with the wounded, and the second where they are included with the killed. Killed. Wounded. Killed. Wounded. (a) 100 + 480 : : 580 or as 1 : 4.8 (6) 164 + 416 : : 580 or as 1 : 2.5 The first represents the common form used in stating the casualties at the close of an action ; the second represents the same loss, after the number of those who died of wounds has been ascertained from the muster-out rolls, and added to the killed outright. The first is the common one used in all military reports and histories. In the Surgeon-General s Report of the War, it appears that out of 235,585 cases of gun shot wounds treated in the hospitals, 33,653 died of their injuries a ratio of 14 per cent., and one which agrees closely with the conditions expressed in the preceding formulas. From the second formula it may be deduced, that if 110,070 were killed or mortally wounded in the war, the total of casualties may be further stated as : - Killed and Died of Wounds (official) . 110,070 Wounded, not mortally. 275,175 Total of killed and wounded 385,245 If these formulas are correct they are of value, as there is no other way of arriving at the total number of killed and wounded in the war. There were so many minor engagements for which no official returns of casualties were made, that any summary of the casualties by battles would fall far short of the correct amount. The number of wounded treated at the hospitals during the war was 246,712, which, according to the Surgeon-General s estimate, embraced nine-tenths of all the wounded. Of these hospital cases, only 922 were wounded by sabres or bayonets, and a large proportion of these originated in private quarrels, or were inflicted by camp-guards in the discharge of their duty. This ratio of 4.8, though true in the aggregate, varies greatly in particular instances; though generally correct as to the loss of an army in battle, it will not always hold good for a particular regiment. Still, the same regiment which in some one engagement may show a * The loss in tho German army was 17,572 killed, 9C.187 wounded, and 14,138 missing ; total, 127,897. With the killed are included 6,210 who were trortally wounded, hut died within 24 hours. Tho deaths from wounds prior to May 1, 1871, increased the number of killed to 28.277. The missing were subsequent! y accounted for, with tho exception of 4,000. The total deaths in the German army in the field during the war were 2H.37T killed ; died of disease or other causes, 12.400 ; total, 40.743. Total strength of the armies, 887,876. Percentage of killed, 3.1; percentage of deaths from all other causes, 1.4. (Dr. Engel, Director des koniglich preussisohen statistischen Bureaus.) t In the German Arniy-Franco-Prussian War there were 17,572 killed, and 10,707 who died of their wounds, the mortally wounded being equal to 01 per cent, of the killed. t In the Crimean War, 13.7 of the wounded died of their wounds. (Wm. Barwick Hodge, Journal of the London Statistical Society.) NUMBKK KILLED AT GETTYSBURG. 25 fur different proportion, will in its aggregate of battles, show the usual ratio; particularly so if its losses are not complicated by too large a number of missing. The exact number of wounded who die of injuries received in any l>attle is an important element in this matter of losses in action. The man who dies under the surgeon s knife should be included with the killed as well as the one who, a few hours before, slowly bled to death upon the field. The mangled soldier who survived a day belongs with the killed as much as the one who was buried where he fell. And, yet, they never are. Take Gettysburg, for instance. The official figures for the Union loss at Gettysburg have lately been revised and corrected at the War Department, This final statement shows that the Union Army lost at Gettysburg 3,003 killed, 14,402 wounded, and 5,435 missing. But, as usual, the mortally wounded are included in the 14,41)2 wounded. As no further statement of this loss will he made by the War Department, the question arises as to how many of the wounded died of their injuries. How many of the Union Army were killed or died of their wounds as a result of the battle of Gettysburg ? What was the actual loss of life ? Hitherto, this hn{>ortant question has never been answered. The writer, impressed with its importance, has examined the rolls of each regiment which fought at Gettysburg, and picked off, name by name, the number of those who were killed or died of wounds in that greatest of historic battles. As a result, it api>ears that 5,291 men lost their lives, fighting for the Union on that field. To the recapitulation of losses, as published by Mr. Kirkley in 1886, I have attached here the numl>er of killed, as increased by those who died of wounds, three- fourths of whom died within a week, GETTYSBURG, JULY 1-3, 18G3.

The strength of each Corps, in infantry, present for duty equipped, June 30, 1863, was :- First Corps, 0,403 Fifth Corps, 11,054 Twelfth Corps, 8,103 Second Corps, 12,363 Sixth Corps, 14,516 Cavalry Corps 14,073 Third Corps, 11,247 Eleventh Corps, 0,107 Artillery, 6,602 It is extremely doubtful, however, if any one of these corps carried into action four-fifths of this reported strength. The returns for the First Corps do not include Sk-unianl s Vermont Brigade (three regiments), which joined July 2d ; the two other regiments of this brigade were with the wagon train. CHAPTER III. PERCENTAGE OF KILLED IN REGIMENTS IN PARTICULAR BATTLES COM PARISON OF SUCH LOSSES WITH THOSE OF EUROPEAN REGIMENTS. r ~pHE loss sustained by a regiment in any battle can be properly estimated, only when the number of men engaged is known and taken into consideration. The small battalion in which fifty men were killed must not be classed, in point of loss, with the large regiment losing the same number. The 31 men killed in the One Hundred and Forty-first New York, at Peach Tree Creek, was as severe a loss as the 102 killed in the Eleventh Illinois at Fort Donelson. The percentage of loss in each case was the same, and the one faced as hot a fire as the other. In proportion to the number engaged, the greatest loss sustained by any regiment, during the war, was that of the First Minnesota at Gettysburg. This regiment was then in Harrow s Brigade, Gibbon s Division, Second Corps. On the afternoon of the second day at Gettysburg, the Union line was driven back in confusion from its position along the Emmetts- burg road. While Hancock w r as " patching " up a second line, he perceived a column of the enemy (Willcox s Brigade) emerging suddenly from a clump of trees near an unprotected portion of his line. The First Minnesota, alone and unsupported, was in position near by, and Hancock, desirous of gaining time until reinforcements could be brought forward, rode up to Colonel Colville and ordered him to take the enemy s colors.* A desperate fight ensued, in which the enemy was forced back, leaving their colors in the hands of the First Minnesota. Speaking of this affair afterwards, General Hancock is reported to have said : " There is no more gallant deed recorded in history. I ordered those men in there because I saw that I must gain five minutes time. Reinforcements were coming on the run, but I knew that before they could reach the threatened point the Confederates, unless checked, would seize the position. I would have ordered that regiment in if I had known every man would be killed. It had to be done, and I was glad to find such a gallant body of men at at hand, willing to make the terrible sacrifice that the occasion demanded. " The regiment took 202 officers and men into this affair, f It lost 50 killed and 174 wounded, total, 224 casualties, nearly all of which occurred in this fight. A remarkable feature of this loss is that none were missing. Seventeen officers were killed or wounded, * " Dashing up to the Colonel, and pointing to the Confederate, column, he exclaims: Do you see those colors? Take them ! "(Gen. Francis A. Walker: Hist. Second Army Corps.) t The morning report of the First Minnesota for June 80th the last return made before the battle shows 27 officers and 358 men " present for duty," not including a company of sharpshooters attached (Co. L), which was not present, having been detailed as a support to Kirby s Battery. This number " present for duty" included the non-combatants, the Chaplain, Quartermaster, three Surgeons, Quartermaster- Sergeant, Commissary-Sergeant and his assistants. Hospital Steward and assistants, from ten to twenty musicians, ten company cooks, officers servants, and other details. Some, also, may have fallen out on the forced march to the field. The regiment took eight companies into this affair of July 2d. Company C was on duty at Headquarters as a provost-guard, and Company F had been detailed elsewhere on the field. Colonel Colville states that "the. loss on the 2d was 215 killed and wounded, out of 2(52 "; and that on the 3d, " Companies F and C, having rejoined, brought the number in that day s fight up to about 100 men." (Letter to Major II. D. O Brien, published in the " Picket Guard.") The casualties on the 8d increased the loss to 224. There were 8 officers and 91 men for duty at the close of the third day s battle. The number present in action on the 2d (262) is the one on which the percentage of loss should be based, or at least the loss for that day. The sharpshooters (Company L) did not rejoin until after the battle ; neither their number present nor their casualties have been included. 9 PKUCI.M -.\;K OK KILLKD IN PARTICULAR ENGAOKMRNTS. 27 lln- lattrr iiu -hiding the Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major, and Adjutant. The killed, with i In >se who died of their wounds, numlxM-ed 75, or over 28 per cent, of those engaged a per- centago of killed unequalled in military statistics.* The next largest percentage of killed occurred at Spotsylvania, in the Fifteenth New Jersey. This regiment helonged to the First Jersey Brigade, Wright s Division, Sixth Corps, and lost 1H killed or mortally wounded at Spotsylvania. Unlike the sudden loss of the First Minnesota at Gettysburg, its casualties occurred in three different actions : 31 were lost on May 8th, 5 on May loth, and 80 on May 12th, at the Bloody Angle. It may he urg<d that, these IxMiig three different affairs, the losses should not IK) consolidated. If they had occurred at different places, as, for instance, South Mountain and Antietam, the criticism would hold good ; but this fighting was done at one place, and the continuous nervous strain made it as heroic as if the loss had occurred in one brief charge. This regiment crossed th<> Itapidan May 5th, with 444 effective men.f It sustained hut a slight loss at the Wilderness, and took 432 officers and men into action at Spotsylvania, of whom 1 16 were killed or died of wounds a loss of 20 per cent. Within nine days after breaking camp, it was reduced to 5 officers and 136 men available for action. Next, in percentage of killed in particular engagements, is the Twenty-fifth Massa chusetts at Cold Harlxn*, then in Stannard s Brigade, Martindale s Division, Eighteenth Corps. This loss (x:curred in the assault on the earthworks at Cold Harbor, where it was subjected to a terrible fire. . A Confederate officer, describing the advance of the Twenty-fifth against his works, writes that the heroic regiment struggled forward under a fire which seemed to literally annihilate them ; that the whole line seemed to disapjxar ; and he expresses wonder that any could have survived. The loss was 53 killed, 13!) wounded, and 2S missing, "out of 310 reported for duty that morning. " On the following day there were only 4 officers and 62 men left on duty. Many of the missing were killed. The muster-out rolls of the Twenty- fifth bear the names of 74 officers and men who were killed or mortally wounded during the quarter of an hour which covered that assault ; a loss of 24 per cent, in killed, and over two- thirds in killed and wounded. The small number taken into this action was owing to the heavy losses which the regiment had just sustained, a few days previous, in the Drewry s Bluff campaign. The Confederate officer just referred to, states further that his men were massed five ranks deep behind their breastworks ; that the front rank alone fired, while the others passed up loaded rifles, which were discharged as rapidly as they could 1x3 fired ; that, in addition to this, the artillery posted in the salients, poured a flanking fire of canister into the ranks of the doomed regiment. A smaller loss as to the number killed, but equally remarkable as to percentage, is found in the record of the One Hundred and Forty-first Pennsylvania at Gettysburg, This regiment was, at that time, in Graham s Brigade, Bimey s Division, Third Corps. It had already lost at Chancellorsville 235 (killed, wounded, and missing) out of 417 engaged there. At Gettysburg, only 198 answered to the morning roll call,$ of whom 25 were killed, 103 wounded, and 21 missing ; total, 140. The killed, with those who died of wounds, numl>ered 49, or 24 per cent, of those engaged. The One Hundred and Forty-first fought at Gettysburg in the famous Peach Orchard. One of the most remarkable losses in the war, both in numlx rs and j>ercentage, occurred at Manassas, in Gen. Fitz John Porter s Corps, in the celebrated Duryee Zouaves (Fifth New York), of Warren s Brigade, Sykes Division. General Sykes, in his official report, states There have been affairs known as " massanvs," In wl.i.-Ii all. or nearly all. have lost th.-ir lives.

The deaths from wounds increased the number killed to 117,* or 23 per cent, of those engaged, the greatest loss of life in any infantry regiment during the war, in any one battle. The regiment held an exposed position, and Gen. Warren states that when he endeavored to extricate them, " they were unwilling to make a backward movement." This is the regiment which, at Games Mill, having been badly thinned, closed up its ranks and counted off anew "with great coolness while exposed to a most terrific fire !"- -(Official Eeport.) The following list of percentages will indicate fairly the extent of loss in killed, to which a regiment is liable in battle. The number engaged is, in most cases, taken from the official reports. In some instances, however, the number given was ascertained from statements in regimental histories. PERCENTAGES OF KILLED IN REGIMENTS, IN PARTICULAR ENGAGEMENTS.

Although showing losses of over ten per cent., it does not include every loss which exceeded that ratio. It is impossible, in many cases, to ascertain the number of muskets taken into action ; regi mental commandants seldom stated it, although it always would have formed an important item in their official report. Morning reports are of little assistance in this matter, for there w r as always a wide difference between the number of men reported as " present for duty " and the number taken into action. Although the morning reports stated the " present for duty" separately from the "aggregate present," there were still a large number of non-combatants included in the "present for duty"; a large number of men detailed on special duties too often, contrary to orders ; and in case of a hard march, immediately preceding a battle, many fell out from inability to keep up, to say nothing of disinclination. General McClellan, in his official report of the battle of Antietam, carelessly states the strength of his army at 87,164, when it is doubtful if he had 60,000 muskets on the field." Yet the morning reports would justify his statement. Let it be hoped that, in the future wars of the Republic, the army may have its corps of intendants, as in the German Army ; that every wearer of the national uniform shall be a man-at-arms, serving as such only ; and that the men attached to the trains and all other subsidiary departments shall be enlisted for such service and wear a different uniform. Then a morning report will be some indication of the strength of a regiment or of an army. The Confederates managed these things better. They counted their men as they went into action, and were careful to report no larger number. They were quick to see the important point involved. In General Cheatham s official report for Stone s River, he not only tabulates the number of killed and wounded in his division, but adds other columns in which he states the number of men taken into action by each regiment and the consequent percentage of loss. This mention of the actual force engaged is a frequent item in the reports of the Confed erate colonels, while in the Union A.rmy it is correspondingly rare. In the latter there were so many men detailed contrary to order officers servants, for instance that, too often, a colonel did not care to call attention to the discrepancy between his morning report and his * Gen. F. W. Palfrey : The Antietam and Fredericksburg, p. 70. HANCOCK S DIVISION. effective strength. The Union Armies generally outnumbered the Con f ederates, but the disparity was not so great as the official figures always implied. Although the reports of the Union commanders seldom mentioned the number taken into action by each regiment, General Hancock was thoughtful enough in his re|K>rt for Freder- icksburg to specify the number present on the field in each regiment of his division. As the loss in Hancock s Division, in its memorable assault on Marye s Heights, was one of the severest of the war, it is given here in full. In addition to the official figures, the number of killed, as increased by those who died of their wounds, is also given the number having been ascertained by examining the muster-out rolls of each regiment. Having the exact number engaged, these casualties are of interest as showing the outside limit of loss to which troops are subjected in action. There are on record some higher per centages in cases of individual regiments in certain engagements, but no greater percentage in any division. HANCOCK S DIVISION. FREDERICKSBURO, DF.C. 13, 1S62.

It may be of interest to know the maximum of percentage, as based on the total of killed, ivounded and missing, instead of on the killed and mortally wounded alone.

It is well to pause here, and consider \vhat these figures mean ; to think of what such extraordinary percentages imply. Perhaps their significance will l>e better understood when compared with some extraordinary loss in foreign wars; some well known instance which may serve as a standard of measurement. Take the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava. Its extraordinary loss has been made a familiar feature of heroic verse and story in every land, until the whole world has heard of the gallant Six Hundred and their ride into the Valley of Death. Now, as the Light Brigade accomplished nothing in this action, merely executed an order which was a blunder, it must be that it was the danger and its attendant loss which inspired the interest in that historic ride. What was the loss ? The Light Brigade took 673 officers and men into that charge ; they lost 113 killed and 134 wounded ; total, 247, or 30.7 per cent. The heaviest loss in the German Army during the Franco-Prussian war occurred in the Sixteenth Infantry (Third Westphalian), at Mars La Tour. Like all German regiments of the line it numbered 3,000 men. As this battle was the first in which it was engaged, occurring within a few days of the opening of the campaign, it carried 3,000 men into action. It lost 509 killed and mortally wounded, 019 wounded, and 305 missing !; total. 1484, or 49.4 per cent. The Garde-Schutzen Battalion, 1,000 strong, lost at Metz, August 18th. 162 killed and mortally wounded, 294 wounded, and 5 missing; total, 401, or 40. 1 per cent. A comparison of these percentages with those of the Union regiments in certain battles just cited will give some idea of the desperate character of the fighting during the American Civil War.

"pHE loss in officers killed or wounded, in proportion to their number, was in excess of that of their men. Of the total number killed and wounded during the war, there were 6,365 officers, and 103,705 enlisted men ; or, one officer to 16 men. In the common regi mental organization there was one officer to 28 men ; and this proportion would have conse quently required only one officer to 28 men among the killed. The loss of officers, however, was not so excessive as the difference in these ratios would indicate ; for, as the ranks became depleted the latter proportion was not maintained. In the Army of the Potomac, just before starting on the Wilderness campaign, the morning reports showed one officer to every 21 men "present for duty, equipped." As this latter proportion was a frequent one,* it may be assumed that the difference between it and the actual ratio in the killed indicates fairly the excess of the loss in officers. At Gettysburg, the officers lost 27 per cent, in killed and wounded, while the enlisted men lost 21 per cent., as based on the number engaged. At Shiloh, the loss in officers killed and wounded was 21.3 per cent., and in men 17.9 per cent., as based on the morning reports of Grant s six divisions. This greater loss among the officers did not occur because they were so much braver than the men in the ranks, but because the duties of their position while under fire involved a greater personal exposure. Sharpshooters were always on the alert to pick them off ; and, even in the confusion of a hot musketry fire, any soldier, 110 matter how poor a marksman, would turn his rifle on any conspicuous man in the opposing ranks whose appearance indicated that he might be an officer. In close quarters, guns were not apt to be aimed at privates if a Lieutenant was in sight near by. There was just as good stuff in the ranks as in the line ; in fact, the line officers were recruited almost entirely from the ranks ; but when the gallant private donned an officer s uniform, he found his chances not at all improved, to say the least. This additional exposure is well illustrated by a comparison of the casualties at Gettys burg with those of the Wilderness. In the first named battle the percentage of loss among the officers was one-half greater than in the latter. At Gettysburg, the fighting w^as done in open fields, where the officers were in full view ; at the Wilderness, the fighting was done in dense thickets which concealed the opposing armies. In the latter, both officers and men were hidden by the leafy screens, and hence their casualty lists show a like per centage of loss. In the Franco-Prussian war there was a remarkable excess of loss among the German officers. The percentages of killed and mortally wounded in the entire German army were : Enlisted men, 3.1 ; Line officers, 8.0 ; Staff officers, 9.6. * Exactly the same proportion one officer to 21 men of the " present for duty, equipped " appears in the morning reports of Gen. Grant s army at Shiloh ; of the Peninsular Army in the Seven Days Battle ; of Sherman s armies in the Atlanta campaign ; and in several other instances. The variations, in general, were few and slight. (38) MAXIMUM <n OKKICKKS KILLED. 3!) The largest numl>er of officers killed in any infantry regiment in tho Union Annies is found in the Sixty-first Pennsylvania, of tho Sixth Corps, in which in officers were killed or mortally wounded during the war. Among the numl>er were three colonels : Col. Rippey was killed at Fair Oaks ; Col. Spear fell while leading a successful assault on Marye s Heights; and Col. Crosby, who had lost an arm at Fort Stevens, was killed in the final and victorious assault on Petersburg. The total loss of the Sixty-first in killed and died of wounds, was 1! officers and 218 enlisted men ; total, 237. It was a gallant regiment and was bravely led, as its loss in officers clearly shows. The following list embraces every regiment which lost 16 or more officers killed during the war : INFANTRY.

A heavy artillery regiment had just twice as many line officers as an infantry regiment. The largest regimental loss of officers killed in any one battle, occurred in the Seventh New Hampshire at the assault on Fort Wagner, the regiment losing 1 1 officers mortally wounded in that bloody affair. Among the killed was Col. Putnam, who fell i he had gained an entrance within the outer works of the fort. He was a graduate of Wes Point and an officer of the Regular Army ; like many other Regular officers he had received permission to accept the command of a volunteer regiment. The Twenty-second New York Infantry lost at Manassas 10 officers out of 24 present in action ; 9 of them were killed, among whom was the Lieutenant-Colonel, Gorton T. Thomas. The following list includes every infantry regiment in the service which lo> officers killed in any one engagement : 40 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. Officers Regiment. Battle. Division. Corps.

The First Maine H. A. lost 12 officers, killed or wounded, at Spotsylvania, May 19th, of whom were killed or mortally wounded ; and at Petersburg, June 18th, the same regiment lost 32 officers, killed or wounded, of whom 10 lost their lives. In the Eighth New York Heavy Artillery, t) officers were killed at Cold Harbor. But the large number of extra officers allowed these regiments will not admit of their classification with the infantry regiments just mentioned. There is a remarkable difference between the loss of officers in battle and by disease, as compared with that of the enlisted men. In battle, one officer was killed for every 16 enlisted men ; but, among the deaths from disease, one officer died to every 72 men, and in the colored regiments, one officer to every 215 men. The officers had better facilities for purchasing food, and were furnished with better quarters while in camp ; but in an active campaign, in bivouac or on the march, they encountered substantially the same exposure and privation ; they were exposed to the same storms and their food was equally scanty. There was not enough of difference in the fare to account for this remarkable difference in the death-rate. It might account for some of it, but for the greater part the reason must be looked for elsewhere. The general officers never hesitated in time of battle to share the danger with the men whenever it became necessary. The gallantry with which they were wont to expose them selves is fully evidenced by the long list of those who were killed. GENERAL OFFICERS KILLED IN ACTION. ARMY COMMANDERS. Major-General James B.

Among them were several prominent and able officers Generals Sumner, C. F. Smith, Birney, Mitchel, Welsh, Buford, Corcoran, Ransom, Crocker, and other noted generals. A large number of brigades were commanded by Colonels, some of whom held a brigade command for a long time, during which they displayed marked ability, but without any recognition of their services on the part of the Government. -" The list of Brigadiers killed in action would convey an erroneous impression as to the losses in that grade, unless accom panied by a supplementary list of the other brigade commanders who also lost their lives in battle. The following list is composed of Colonels who had been entrusted with brigades, and were exercising such commands at the time of their death. They were men of noble spirits, intrepid soldiers, whose gallantry and ability had won the admiration and respect of all. KILLED IN ACTION. BRIGADE COMMANDERS, WITH RANK OF COLONEL. Colonel Edward D.

In each regiment there were officers whose duties did not require that they should go into action-- the Chaplain, the Quartermaster, and the Surgeons. Although they had no tactical position in the line of battle, there was a loss of life among their numlx-i- which entitles them to some other place in the records of the war than that of mere non-combatants. Many of them waived their exemption from danger, and gallantly volunteered for service in the field ; while others --the surgeons, for instance attended calmly to the performance of their duties amid perils which would test the stoutest heart. Though the surgeons seldom took an active part in a battle, they were required to l>e near, and much of the time were under fire. Some of them went on the field with their regi ments in order to render timely aid; others were stationed near by at some field hospital, where they often found themselves exposed to serious danger. During the war, 40 Surgeons were killed and 73 wounded while bravely attending to their duties on the battle field. They had not the excitement of the fight to dull their sense of danger ; they had not the incentive of promotion ; they were not spurred by ambitious hopes ; victory might bring laurels to others, but not to them ; they met their fate, actuated and sustained by no other impulse than the sense of duty. Many Surgeons died from disease while in the service, and their names also lengthen the Roll of Honor. A record of these patriots, their names and regiments, and the battles in which they lost their lives, appears in the Medical and Surgical History of the war. Several lives were also lost among the Quartermasters, some of them having been killed while serving as volunteer aids, while others fell while attending to the duties of their position when under fire. Among the first to scale the heights of Missionary Ridge was a Quartermaster-Sergeant of a Michigan regiment, who had borrowed a gun and volunteered for the fight. It will, doubtless, be a surprise to many to note the number of Chaplains killed in battle 1 . These gallant members of the Church Militant were wont to take a more active part in the fighting than has been generally credited to them. They were frequently seen in the thickest of the fight, some of them handling a rifle with the skill of a marksman, while others, unarmed, would move about among their men encouraging them to do their best. Among the Chaplains killed in action, there were : Name. Rev. Arthur B. Fuller, Rev. Orlando N. Benton, Rev. John M. Springer, Rev. Francis E. Butler, Rev. John L. Walther, Rev. Levi W. Sanders, Rev.

In addition, there were several who lost their lives by the diseases incident to the hard ship and exposure of a soldier s life. Chaplain Fuller, of the Sixteenth Massachusetts, had resigned from the service and had just received his discharge, when he learned that his regiment was about to go into action, at Fredericksburg. Crossing the river in the boats with the forlorn hope, he joined the skir mishers of the Nineteenth Massachusetts, who were then fighting their way through the streets. He fell dead, rifle in hand, in front of a grocery store on Caroline Street. Springer, of the Third Wisconsin, fell mortally wounded at Resaca, after having "seized a musket " and fought for four hours in the " hottest of the fight." Howell, of the Ninetieth Pennsylvania, was shot at Gettysburg during the retreat through the town, and died on the steps of a church. Butler was killed at the Siege of Suffolk, while carrying water to some wounded men. Bartlett, of the First Maine Cavalry, was killed at Cold Harbor. He was struck in the breast by a shell and " literally blown to pieces." Benton fell at New Berne, and General Reno states in his official report that he "was killed while nobly encouraging the men to do their duty." Eddy, of the Seventy-second Indiana, fell at Hoover s Gap, Tenn., struck by a cannon ball. Of Chaplain Ambrose, who was killed in the trenches at Petersburg, the regimental historian says that "a braver man never lived; a truer man never wore the garb of Christianity." At Resaca, among the Confederate dead which lay so thickly in front of the Twenty- seventh Indiana, was a family group : a gray-haired Chaplain and his two sons. The official reports make frequent mention of Chaplains whose gallantry and zeal had attracted the notice of their general. In the Chancellorsville reports, General Berdaii, commander of the famous Sharpshooters, states that " Chaplain Barber, of the Second Regi ment, took a rifle and went in with the skirmishers, with his usual bravery." At Antietam, Gen. J. R. Brooke mentions in his report " the brave Chaplain of the Sixty -sixth New York, Rev. Mr. D wight, who was constantly in the field, in the thickest of the fight." Gen. Giles A. Smith, in his report of the battle of Atlanta (July 22d), states that Chaplain Bennett, of the Thirty-second Ohio, "carried his musket and fought all day in the ranks, which I learn is his custom on all such occasions." The officers of a brigade petitioned that Chaplain H. C. Trumbull, of the Tenth Connec ticut, be brevetted a Major ; stating that, "always at his post in time of danger, he has, on two occasions at least, displayed marked and conspicuous gallantry ; dashing into the thickest of the fight to rally and encourage the wavering line." Gen. Terry forwarded the paper with the endorsement: "No officer of his regiment has displayed more gallantry in action, or done more to animate the men to do their duty. " Aside from such notices, these men have not received the recognition due their services, but lack of space forbids further mention here. Many of the Chaplains had served in the ranks as enlisted men prior to their appoint ment. They were regularly ordained clergymen, whose patriotic zeal had impelled them to exchange their pulpits for the camp ; so, when a vacancy occurred in the chaplaincy of a regiment to which any such belonged, the Colonel was very apt to recommend the clerical musket-bearer, whose gallantry perhaps had already attracted his attention. In this connection, mention should also be made of the many clergymen who left their pastoral duties to accept commissions in the army, some of whom held regimental or brigade commands. Among the brigade commanders killed at Cold Harbor was the Rev. Jeremiah * Love : Wisconsin in the War. MUSICIANS. C. Drake, Colonel of the One Hundred and Twelfth New York, an officer conspicuous for gallant and meritorious service on many occasions. A similar instance is found in the Con federate Army in the case of Bishop Polk, a corps-general, who fell while on the Atlanta campaign. The musicians formed a numerous class among the non combatants. Although their legitimate duty in time of hattle was confined to that of stretcher-bearers, they often partic ipated in the fighting. At Shiloh, the hand of the Forty -eighth Ohio laid aside their instru ments, procured rifles, and went into the fight, where two of their numl>er were killed.* Still, it must l>e confessed that the dead drummer-hoy was not so common a feature on the field as might be inferred from the work of hattle- field artists. The frequent loss of life among the stretcher-bearers attests the faithful work of the men employed in that duty, most of whom were musicians. At the battle of the Weldon Railroad, the ambulance train of the Fifth Corps lost 2 sergeants killed and stretcher-men wounded : 8 horses were killed, and shells passed through two of the ambulances. This was not an uncommon experience. Major John A. Bering : History of the Forty-eighth Ohio Volunteers. CHAPTER V. CASUALTIES COMPARED WITH THOSE OF EUROPEAN WARS --LOSS IN EACH ARM OF THE SERVICE DEATHS FROM DISEASE CLASSIFICATION OF DEATHS BY CAUSES. TT WAS the greatest war of the century. On the Union side alone, 110,070 men were killed in battle, while 249,458 more died from disease, accidents, in military prisons, or from other causes. Including both sides, over half a million lives were lost. There have been wars which have lasted longer-- wars with intermittent and desultory campaigns ; but, in this struggle the two armies for four years never let go their clutch upon each other s throat. For four years the echo of the picket s rifle never ceased. It is hard to realize the meaning of the figures, 110,070 men killed ; and that, on one side only. It is easy to imagine one man killed ; or ten men killed ; or, perhaps, a score of men killed. With some effort of the mind one can picture a hundred men stretched, lifeless and bloody on the ground. The veteran recalls, as if in a dream, the sight of many more lying 011 some battle field ; but even he is unable to comprehend the dire meaning of the one hundred thousand, whose every unit represents a soldier s bloody grave. The figures are too large. They will be better understood, however, and a more intelli gent idea will be formed if they are compared with the losses of other wars. A better idea will also be obtained of the great struggle which occurred within our own borders, and with it will come a fuller recognition of American manhood. The Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71 was one of the greatest of European wars. Larger armies were never assembled. The Germans took 797,950 men into France. Of this number, 28,277 were killed, or died of wounds a loss of 3.1 per cent. In the Crimean war, the allied armies lost 3.2 per cent, in killed, or deaths from wounds. In the war of 1866, the Austrian army lost 2.6 percent, from the same cause. But, in the American Civil War the Union Armies lost 4.7 per cent., and the Confederates over 9 per cent.; and this despite the greater area of country, which required a large share of the troops to protect the lines of communi cation. There are no figures on record to show that, even in the Napoleonic wars, there was ever a greater percentage of loss in killed. In fact, all the statistics pertaining to the earlier wars of the century are loosely stated, and bear on their face a lack of accuracy. The histo rians of that period give all battle losses in round numbers, the killed, wounded, missing, and prisoners being lumped together in one amount. Each writer treats the casualties as an unimportant part of his story, and seems to have made no effort to arrive at anything like an accurate or classified statement. Perhaps, the facts were not attainable and the historians were obliged to accept the wild, exaggerated stories of which there are always a plenty, and which soon crowd out of sight the truthful narratives. The two great battles of the age, in point of loss, are Waterloo and Gettysburg. Between them there is a remarkable similarity, both in numbers engaged and extent of casualties. (46) CASUALTIES AT (JTETTYSBUKG COMPARED WITH EUROPEAN BATTLES. 47 At Waterloo, the French numliered 80,000 men, and 252 guns ;* the Allies miml>ered 72,ooo men, and 18<> guns. At Gettysburg, the Union Army numl>ered S3, (MM) men, and 300 guns ;f the Confederates, 70,000 men, and 250 guns. At Waterloo, Wellington s army lost 23,185; at Gettysburg, Meade s army lost 23,003. The loss of the French at Waterloo has never been officially announced, but has Ixjen estimated at 20,300 ; the Confed erate loss at Gettysburg, as officially reported by the Confederate Surgeon -General, was 20,448, to which must be added 7,077 wounded and unwounded prisoners whose names were omitted from his lists, but whose names appear on the records at Washington. In short, the battles of Waterloo and Gettysburg were fought with from 70,000 to 82,000 men on each side, and the combatants lost about 23,000 men each. In the Franco-Prussian war, the greatest loss occurred at the battle of Gravelotte, where the Germans lost 4,449 killed (including the mortally wounded), 15,189 wounded, and 939 missing ; total, 20,577, out of 140,000 troops engaged, exclusive of (55, 000 reserves. At Get tysburg, Meade s army sustained a greater loss with half the number engaged. It may be suggested that the Franco-Prussian war was, comparatively, of brief duration, and hence a comparison of the aggregate casualties cannot properly l>e made. But, in the American Civil War, during the six months following May 4, 18<4, the various Union armies sustained a greater loss than the German armies did during the whole Franco-Prussian war. The total loss of the German army in that war was 28,277 killed or mortally wounded, 85,4.S2 wounded, and 14,138 missing; total, 127,897. All historians agree that Borodino was the bloodiest battle since the introduction of gun- )>owder. The casualties in that battle have been variously stated : The Encyclopedia Brit- tannica puts the Russian loss at 30,000 in killed, wounded, ami prisoners, and the French loss at "considerably above 20,000." Allison gives the losses at Borodino in round numbers only, placing the French loss at 50,000, and the Russian at 45,000. The most credible statement is found in the Journal of The London Statistical Society, which places the number of killed and wounded in the French army at Borodino at 2S,085, out of 133,000 troops present on the field. The Russian army numbered 132,ooo at that battle, and there is nothing to show that its loss was greater than that of its antagonist. Although the nuiiuVr of killed and wounded at Borodino was greater, numerically, than at Waterloo and Gettysburg, the percentage of loss was very much less. The largest armies were marshalled at Leipsic, "the battle of the Nations." On that field the allies concentrated 330,000 men ;* Napoleon s army numbered 175,000. The state ments of the casualties as made by various historians are so conflicting, and are so loosely stated, that no definite idea of the loss can be obtained. It was greater, probably, than at Borodino. In the American Civil War, the Union Armies lost 110,070 killed or mortally wounded, and 275,175 wounded; total, 385,245, exclusive of the missing in action whose numtor has not, as yet, been officially stated. Of the 110,070 deaths from battle, 07,058 were killed on the field; the remainder, 43,012, died of their wounds. This loss was divided among the different arms of the service as follows : * Allison. tThe t omte de Paris, in his history of tho war. estimates that the Union army had only tti.OOO aotually on tho field return of JuneflOth, shows 99.131 " Present for duty, equipped." Still, in view of the constant discrepan.-y between the numl* Union regiments as "present for duty," and the number reported by them as taken into action, the estimate of the assumed to be substantially correct. It * very doubtful if Meade had over W,000 men on the field, Including the : reserve.

But a large proportion of them enlisted for ninety days, six months, one year, or two years, and reentered the service upon the expiration of their term of enlistment. Thus, the names of many soldiers appear two or more times upon the rolls, and in different regiments. Reduced to a three years standard of enlistment, the total enrollment of the Union Army would equal 2,326,168 men.

Without including the deaths in Confederate prisons, or those caused by acci dents, drowning, sunstrokes, suicides, executions, murders, or other causes, there were 199.- 720 of the Union Army who died of disease in camp, in hospitals, or at home- lefore their term of enlistment had expired. Part of this extraordinary loss was due to the severity of the campaigns. The extent of territory marched over was immense ; some of the campaigns were made under a tropical sun, and some of the battles were fought amid the snows of winter. The Ninth Corps fought on the Carolina Coast, and then moved a thousand miles westward to the fever-smitten camps at Vicksburg. The Twelfth Corps, after lighting for two years in Virginia, moved to Tennessee, from whence it fought its way through Georgia to Atlanta ; marched from Atlanta to the Sea, and thence northward to its old battle grounds, having encircled half a continent. Men from the woods of Maine encamped two thousand miles distant along the bayous of Louisiana. Men from the prairies of the Northwest toiled and battled among the everglades of Florida, and along the (Julf. Human endurance was often tested to its utmost, and the restless, moving armies left in their wake a line of count less graves. And, yet, some of the greatest losses by disease occurred in regiments that were not sub jected to the exposure of active service ; regiments, which |H?rformed garrison duty only, and were provided with comfortable quarters and good food. The greatest loss by disease occurred in some black regiments which were doing garrison duty, and were stationed in the? same district from which they had been recruited and where they had lived all their lives. Then, again, certain regiments among the white troops suffered from disease, unaccountably, more than others. The Vermont Brigade, while encani|>ed in Virginia, in lsr.1, lost scores of men by disease, while the regiments in adjoining camps were entirely exempt ; and, yet, these Vermonters excelled in physique, cleanliness and intelligence. The most striking feature of the mortuary statistics is that the regiments which incurred the greatest loss in battle are the ones which suffered least from disease. While, throughout the whole army, the deaths from disease were double those from bullets, the hard fighting regiments seldom lost even a like number. One fifth of the deaths from disease occurred in regiments that never were in battle. In connection with this matter one must bear in mind, also, the ratio of mortality in civil life. Assuming the average age of the soldiers to be 23 years, the tables of the Life Insurance Actuaries indicate that three-fourths of the deaths from disease were due to the ex|M>sure of a 4 50 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. soldier s life ; and that the remainder would have occurred, just the same, if the men had remained at home. Of those who died from disease, one-fourth died of fever, principally typhoid ; one-fourth died of diarrhea, or other forms of bowel complaint ; nearly one-fourth died from inflamma tion of the lungs, or consumption, principally the former ; the remaining fourth died of small-pox, measles, brain disease, erysipelas, and the various forms of disease common to the masses. The deaths in the Union Army, from all causes, as officially classified were as follows : DEATHS FEOM ALL CAUSES. Cause. Officers. Enlisted Men. Aggregate.

The number of the drowned may seem large, but the average is less than three men to a regiment. This loss was occasioned largely by bathing and boating. At times, some regi ment would sustain a larger loss while fording livers, or landing from small boats in the surf. The Seventy-fifth Pennsylvania, while crossing the Shenandoah, in April, 1862, lost 2 officers and 51 men, drowned by the swamping of a scow. Of the Union soldiers confined in Confederate prisons, 24,866 died of disease, exclusive of 2,072 who died of wounds while in the enemy s hands, and 3,218 others who died from various causes, known and unknown. As to what proportion of these 24,866 deaths was due to harsh treatment, instead of -disease, it would be difficult to say. In. the Northern military prisons, where the inmates were furnished with good food and quarters, the death rate was nearly the same; 30,152 Confederates died in Northern prisons. f But these pages have nothing to do with the prison question other than the statistics. * la addition to this number, there were 5,290 who died while prisoners, and who are included in the other items ot this classification. The total number of Union soldiers who died while in the hands of the enemy according to this official report was 30,156. The causes of their deaths are classified as follows : From disease, 24.866 ; wounds, 2,072 ; sunstroke, 20 : accidents, 7 ; drowning, 7 ; killed after capture, 104 ; executed by the enemy, 64 ; causes known, but not classified, 319 ; cause not stated, 2,697 ; total, 30,156. But, owing to the imperfect records kept at some of the Confederate prisons, the deaths are not all included in the foregoing statement. The mortality of Uniou prisoners, as shown by the graves, has been estimated at 86,401. t Congressional Documents: Report of House Committee on treatment of prisoners, 1869, page 231. (But this number, 30,152 does not include the deaths at Johnson s Island ao d some other places of confinement ; neither does it include deaths from wounds in field hospitals.)

The greatest mortality occurred in March, lsor, in which month 405 died at Ehnira. Of the total numlxr that died, 2,OS8 were hnried in a field which has since heen ploughed over and planted with wheat ; and now the grain of summer and the snow of winter show no sign of the hapless Confederates who are laid at rest beneath its surface. CHAPTER VI. THE COLORED TROOPS --HISTORY OF THEIR ORGANIZATION- THEIR LOSSES IN BATTLE AND BY DISEASE. VJI/ HEREVER black regiments were engaged in battle during the Civil War, they acquitted themselves in a manner which fully justified the policy of the Government in enlisting their services. In the future wars of the Republic the colored American will find himself entrusted with his full share of the fighting. And yet, the war for the Union was not the first one in which the African fought for the Stars and Stripes. Black faces were not uncommon among the ranks of the patriots in 1776. The first man to fall in that struggle was the negro* who led the mob in its attack on the British troops at the Boston Massacre. At Bunker Hill, the free negroes fought intermingled with the whites ; and, when Major Pitcairn was killed, it was by a bullet from a negro s rifle. At the battle of Rhode Island, Colonel Greene s black regiment repulsed three successive charges, during which they handled a Hessian regiment severely, f In the war of 1812, Gen eral Jackson issued a proclamation authorizing the formation of black regiments, and, subse quently, in an address to the colored troops thus enlisted, acknowledged their services in unstinted praise. But, at the time of the Civil War the negro was closely associated in the public mind with the political causes of the strife. The prejudice and opposition against the use of colored troops was so strong that the war was half finished before they were organized to any extent. The first appearance of the negro in the military operations of that period occurred, September, 1862, in Cincinnati, at the time of the threatened invasion by Morgan s raiders. A so-called Black Brigade of three regiments was then organized, and assigned to duty in constructing the fortifications and earthworks about Cincinnati. These men gave their services voluntarily, but were unarmed and without uniforms. Their organization, such as it was, existed for three weeks only, and had no connection with the movement for enlisting colored troops. About this same time General Butler took the initiative in the enlistment of colored men as soldiers, by organizing at new Orleans the regiments known as the Louisiana Native Guards, one of which completed its organization in August, 1862, and was mustered into service on the 27th of the following month. It was designated the First Louisiana Native Guard, and was the first black regiment to join the Union Army. The Second Louisiana Native Guard * Crispus Attucks : His body was placed iu Faneuil Hall, and honored with a public funeral. With others who fell, he was buried beneath a stone bearing the words : " Long as in Freedom s cause the wise contend, Dear to your country shall your fame extend , While to the world the lettered stone shall tell Where Caldwell, Attucks, Gray, and Maverick fell." t Arnold s History of Rhode Island. (52) ItKCKUITINtl OF COLOKKD ItKUlMKNTS. . ;; was mustered in, Octolxr 12, IS<52 ; the Third, on NovemlxT 24, 1SIJ2. The other regiments of the Guard, or Corps d Afriquo as it was called, completed their organizations within a few months later. At this time, also, in August, ist .2, recruiting for a colored regiment was commenced in Kansas, and over 000 men were soon mustered in. The regiment, however, was not mustered into the United States service until January i:{, is<3. It was then. designated the. First Kansas Colored Volunteers, hut its name was changed, in December, 1804, to the 79th United States Colored Infantrv. */ Recruiting for a black regiment had, also, been undertaken in South Carolina by General Hunter, and an officer, Sergeant C. T. Trowbridge, had IMHMI detailed for that pur]>ose as early as May 7, 18t2. The recruiting progressed slowly, and was attended with so many difficulties and discouragements that a complete regimental organization was not effected until Jan. 31, 1SG3. Some of the companies, however, were organized at an earlier date. Colonel T. W. Higginson was assigned to the command of this regiment, his commission dating back to November 10, 18<>2. Trowbridge was made Captain of the first company organized, and sub sequently promoted to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy. This regiment, First South Carolina, was the first slave regiment organized, the Louisiana Native Guard having been recruited largely from free blacks. The designation of the First South Carolina was changed by the War Depart ment, in February, 1S;4, to Thirty-third United States Colored Infantry. Recruiting for the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts commenced in February, 1S<>3, and its ten companies were full by May. It was the first colored regiment raised in a Northern State, the First Kansas having been recruited largely in Missouri, and partly from enslaved blacks. The Fifty-fourth was composed mostly of free men, and its recruits came from all the North ern States, it being their first opportunity to enlist. By this time the movement had become general, and before the war closed the colored troops embraced 14."> regiments of infantry, 7 of cavalry, 12 of heavy artillery, 1 of light artillery, and 1 of engineers ; total, H 5i{. Of these, about >o were brought into action on the battle field, the others having been assigned to post or garrison duty. Of the regiments brought into action, only a few were engaged in more than one battle ; the war was half over, and so the total of killed does not ap]>caras great as it otherwise would have done. The total number killed or mortally wounded in the colored troops was 143 officers, and -2,751 men. The officers were whites. Though participating only in the latter campaigns of the war, the black regiments made a noble record, and if, at times, they failed to win victories, it was through no fault of theirs. The first action in which colored troops were engaged was an affair at Island Mounds, Mo., October 2S, 1S02, in which a detachment of the First Kansas was attacked by a superior mimlxn- of Confederates under command of Colonel Cockerel. Although outnuml>ered, they made a successful resistance and scored a victory. Their lost was K killed, including a Cap tain, and 12 wounded. The First Kansas, also, lost 16 men killed on May 18, 18C.3, in a minor engagement at Sherwood, Mo. In the Assault on Port Hudson, La., May 27, 1863, colored troops were used for the firs time in a general engagement. The Nineteenth Army Corps, during its l>esiegement of that stronghold, included several colored regiments in its organization. There were the First and Third Louisiana Native Guawls ; The First Louisiana Engineers, Corps d Afrique ; and, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Infantry, Corps d Afrique. During the siege the First Louisiana Native Guards lost 2 officers and 32 men killed, and : J officers and 92 men wounded (including the mortally wounded); total, 129. But few regiments in the Nineteenth Corps sustained a greater loss. The other regiments of the Corps d Afrique were actively engaged, but with fewer casualties. The Fii-st Louisiana Native Guard was attached to 54 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. Augur s (1st) Division, and participated in the assaults of May 27th and June 14th, in which its principal loss occurred, its dead .lying among those nearest the enemy s works. This regiment should not be confounded with the First Louisiana Infantry, also of Augur s Division, -a white regiment which, also, sustained a severe loss at Port Hudson. On June 7th, 1803, the colored troops composing the garrison at Milliken s Bend, La., were attacked by Walker s Division numbering 3,000 men. The garrison consisted of three colored regiments : the Ninth Louisiana, Eleventh Louisiana, and First Mississippi, In addi tion there were 200 men of the 23d Iowa (white) who had been escorting prisoners up the river, and were on their return to the front. The regiments were small, many of the men, and most of the officers, being absent on recruiting service or other duty. When attacked the garrison was driven back to the river, where two gunboats came to their assistance. The troops then made a counter charge, regaining possession of their works and capturing several prisoners. The fighting was desperate in the extreme, many of the combatants on each side falling by bayonet thrusts or blows from clubbed muskets. The loss, as officially stated by the Assistant Secretary of War, who was then at Vicksburg, amounted to : Regiment. Killed. Wounded. Total. 9th Louisiana. 62 130 192 llth Louisiana. 30 120 150 1st Mississippi . 3 21 24 23d Iowa (white).. 26 60 86 With the wounded are included those who were mortally wounded. Captain Miller, of the Ninth Louisiana, " :: ~ states that his regiment had only 300 men engaged, and that the whole force of the garrison was about 600 men. The next action in which colored troops were engaged was the grand assault on Fort Wagner, July 18, 1863. To the 54th Massachusetts Colored was assigned the honor of leading the attack, and after the troops w r ere formed on the beach, ready for the assault, the order to advance was withheld until the Fifty-fourth could march by and take position at the head of the column. The assault failed ; but, not until the Colonel of the Fifty-fourth and many of his men had fallen dead on the parapet, or within, the fort. The loss of the regiment in this affair was 3 officers and 31 men killed, 11 officers and 135 men wounded (including those mortally so), and 92 men missing ; total, 272 out of 650 engaged. An impression has gained ground that no quarter was given to black troops ; and, that the 92 missing or captured men met their death in the fort, after they had surrendered. But the official records show that 49 of these men died of disease in Confederate prisons, and that others of the captured men returned at the close of the war, rejoining their regiment before its muster-out. One of the severest regimental losses during the war, occurred in the Eighth United States Colored Infantry, at the battle of Olustee, Fla., February 20, 1864. It lost there 2 officers and 49 men killed, 9 officers and 180 men wounded, and 63 missing ; total, 303. The missing ones were, mostly, dead or wounded men who were left on the field ; for, in this action the Con federates held possession of the ground, General Seymour s forces being obliged to retreat. Colonel Fribley of the Eighth was among the killed. The number of the killed was increased to 87 by those who died of wounds, and certain ones who were erroneously included with the missing. This same regiment distinguished itself, also, at Chaffin s Farm. Upon the opening of the spring campaign in 1864, colored troops were a common feature of the armies before Eichmond. Ferrero s Division of the Ninth Corps, and Hinks Division of the Eighteenth Corps, were composed entirely of black regiments. In the first attack on * Brown : Negro in the Rebellion. FKKUKUO S DIVISION AT THE BATTLE OF THE MINE. 55 Petersburg, June 15, 1864, Kinks Division achieved a brilliant success, capturing (he lino of works in its front, and seven pieces of artillery. Had the Army of the Potomac arrived in time to follow up the success of the colored troops, Petersburg would have l>een taken then ; but, by the time that the Eighteenth corps was reenforeed. Lee s army had hurried thither by rail and were filing into the intrenchments. The opportunity was gone. In this assault of June 15th, the casualty lists show that the temporary success of the Colored Division was dearly obtained. Among the heavier losses were : Regiment. Killed.

This division was selected to le;ul the assault ; but, at the last moment, the order was changed and it was sent in last. It was not ordered forward until the assault was a bloody failure, and although it did all that men could do, it was unable to retrieve the disaster. This change of plan relieved the colonel regiments of all responsibilty for that defeat. Still, they fought bravely, and held their ground under the most discouraging circumstances. How well they stood is attested by their terrible losses. CASUALTIES IX FERRERO S DIVISION AT THE RATTLE OF THE MINE, JULY 3o, 1S04. Regiment. Killed. Wounded* Missing.\ Total. 23d U. S.

The Sixth had only 367 officers and men engaged, its loss being over 57 per cent. The troops in Paine s Division were the same ones which carried the works at Petersburg, June 15, 1864 In the action on the Darbytown Road, Va., October 27, 1864, the Twenty-ninth Connecti cut (colored) distinguished itself by the efficiency with which it held a skirmish line for several hours, under a strong pressure. Loss, 11 killed and 69 wounded. Two brigades of colored troops participated in the victory at Nashville, December 15, 1864. The heaviest loss in any regiment on that field occurred in the Thirteenth U. S. Colored Infantry, which, in its assault on Overton Hill, lost 55 killed (including 4 officers), and 166 wounded ;* total, 221. The severest loss at the battle of Honey Hill, S. C., November 30, 1864, fell on a black regiment, the Fifty-fifth Massachusetts, which lost in that action, 29 killed, and 115 wounded ; total, 144. In the closing battle of the war the victorious assault on Fort Blakely, Ala., April 9, 1865 --a colored division bore a conspicuous and honorable part.

MUSTER-OUT-ROLLS - ANTHROPOLOGICAL STATISTICS. E statistics presented in thoso pages are based largely on a personal examination of the muster-out-rolls of the various regiments. When a regiment was mustered out of service at the close of the war, or at the expiration of its term of enlistment, -- each com pany in the organization was required to hand in a muster-out roll hearing the names of every man who, at any time, had served in it. The rolls, which wore furnished in blank for this purpose, were large sheets, nearly one yard square, ruled and printed with various headings. Each company- roll was made out separately, making ten rolls in all (if in a ten-company regiment), with an additional roll for the Field and Staff. Opposite each name was written the age of the person ; place of enlistment ; date of muster-in ; and, under the column of "Remarks," statements showing what became of the man ; --if dead, the cause, date, and place of death. These names were grouped under the various headings of : " Present at muster-out ;" "Previously discharged; "Transferred;" "Deserted;" "Killed in action;" " Died of wounds ;" and, "Died of disease ;" or other causes. Three copies of these rolls, sometimes more, were made, one of which was forwarded to the capital of the state to which the regi ment belonged, where it was filed in the office; of the state adjutant-general. These regi mental rolls and records may be found carefully preserved among the archives of each state, and it is evident that such of them as were properly made will show clearly and accu rately the mortuary losses of the regiments to which they pertain. The states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connec ticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas have printed and published the muster-out-mils of the regiments which they respectively furnished to the Union Armies. The name of each and every man who served in these regiments is preserved in print ; the record of his patriotism is transmitted, and in time becomes the proudest heir-loom of his family. Some of these publications are, necessarily, voluminous. The rolls of the Illinois troops fill eight octavos ; the Indiana rolls require eight volumes of similar si/e ; the names of the men in the Massachusetts regiments fill two largo quartos of about one thousand pages each ; the Pennsylvania rolls,* as printed, cover 7, Ooo pages. Still, despite the tedious length of these rolls, the patient student will be able to compile from them the losses in nearly every regiment. The states of New York, Delaware and Maryland have never attached enough value to the patriotic services of their troops to publish their muster-out-rolls. t The manuscript rolls of the New York regiments are on file at Albany, and the historian must make a pilgrimage thither if he would learn anything concerning the heroes who followed the colors of the Empire State.

(57) 58 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. Some of the state rolls, both printed and manuscript, are defective ; many of the men are unaccounted for, or accounted for erroneously ; and, for some regiments, the rolls are missing entirely. But, in such cases the different states have perfected their rolls through information furnished by the War Department at Washington. Owing to the liberal policy of the Government in regard to pensions, the friends of deceased soldiers have supplied much of the lacking information in the prosecution of their claims. Of course, many of those who were unaccounted for on the rolls had no legal heirs to present their claims at the Pension Bureau; men recorded as " wounded and missing in action," and who, through lack of family or social ties, disappeared without question or remark. But the various state adjutant-generals have been untiring in their efforts to obtain information in such cases, and have, for the most part, settled definitely the fate of the missing. The historian will find in the muster-out-rolls a mine of information valuable and necessary to his task. He may have already learned the names of the regiments which were present at the battle, and the movements of the brigade, division or corps. But which of these regiments did the fighting ? Which of them were in reserve, and which of them were in the first line ? Which of them led in the assault ? Which ones stood in the breach ? In these records he will find a clear and unequivocal answer. The long column of names marked as killed in some particular action tells the story of how well they stood. More rolls are searched, and from them he makes a list of regiments whose losses map out the points of contact on some field and show plainly where the pressure was heaviest. He notes, also, that the records do not warrant the boastful account of some regimental historian, while it reflects honor on the gallantry of some command which has hitherto been overlooked and unrecognized. He notes, again, that some regiment which has figured con spicuously in the official casualty list by reason of its aggregate of losses, did so on account of its large number of missing ; and, that of these missing ones few were killed, the remainder having been captured. He notes, again, on examining some other rolls, that the number of killed is large in proportion to the number enrolled, and so credits the regiment with a per centage of loss which tells better than any flight of rhetoric how often and how well they faced the enemy s fire. The story of the muster-out-roll is, at best, but a sad one. One is carried back to the war and surrounded by its sad pictures. In scanning the remarks attached to the names there are the ever recurring phrases which recall vividly its thrilling scenes. Killed, . July 3, 1863, at Gettysburg;" and one thinks of Pickett s charge, or other incidents of that historic field. "Killed, May 3, 1863, at Marye s Heights;" and the compiler lays down his pencil to dream again of that fierce charge which swept upward over the sloping fields of Fredericksburg. Wounded and missing, May 6, 1864, at the Wilderness," suggests a nameless grave marked, if at all, by a Government headstone bearing the short, sad epitaph, " Unknown." Killed at Malvern Hill, July 1, 1862; " and there rises a picture of an artilleryman lying dead at the wheels of his gun. " Died of gunshot wound before Atlanta, August 20, 1864," tells of some lad who fills a grave long miles away from the village church-yard of his Northern home. "Wounded at Antietam, September 17, 1862, and died on the amputating table," brings up the dire vision of the field-hospital, that ghastly sequel of every battle. "Killed at Appomattox, April 9, 1865 ;" and one sees the dead cavalryman, who, falling in that closing battle of the war, died with home and victory in sight. "Died of sunstroke," recalls the long march, the heavy load, the dust, the heat, and a senseless form lying at the roadside. TUB STORY OF THE MUSTEK-OUT-ROLL. :. -. " Pied of fever at Young s Point, Miss.," reminds one of the campaigns in the bay cms and poisonous swamps, with the men falling in scores before a foe more deadly and remorseless than the bullet. Executed on sentence of G. C. M. ; shot to death by musketry ;" and one recalls the incidents of the most trying of all scenes, a military execution. " Killed on picket, September 15, 1863, on the Rappahannock," suggests the star-lit river, the lonely vidette, an echoing shot, and a man dying alone in the darkness. And so it goes. There are no war stories that can equal the story of the muster-out-roll. And then, there are facts recorded in them which are curious and interesting. Occasion ally the sad record is brightened with something akin to humor ; and, there is much, at times, which is readable. The following extracts, taken at random, may give an idea of what one runs across in examing these old records. They are copied from the muster-out rolls, manuscript and printed, while some are from the rolls appended to regimental histories. If at times the sad and the ridiculous are too closely intermingled, it is because tho story runs that way, reflecting truly the peculiarly intermingled scenes of army life.

A frequent item in the Tennessee and Kentucky rolls. 62 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. First Indian Guards : " Captain Ta-ma-tus-ta-iiuk-ka ; cashiered December 3, 1864." First Indian Guards :- --" Captain Ak-ti-yah-gi-ya-ho-la ; deserted December 27, 1862." (It is hoped that in the heat of action, these officers did not stand upon their dignity and insist upon being addressed by their full names.) Second Indian Guards : "Captain Spring Frog; mustered out May 31, 1865." Second Indian Guards : "Captain Eli Tadpole ; died of disease April 15, 1863." Second Indian Guards : " Lieutenant Andrew Rabbit ; resigned July 12, 1863." Second Indian Guards : "Captain Jim Ned; missing since August 31, 1862."

Third Indian Guards : " Lieutenant Jumper Duck ; died of disease, October 20, 1863." Third Indian Guards : " Lieutenant Redbird Sixkiller ; mustered out May 31, 1865." The muster-rolls are provided with a column in which is entered the age of each recruit. From the figures in this column it appears that the mean age of all the soldiers was 25 years. When classed by ages, the largest class is that of 18 years, from which the classes decrease regularly to that of 45 years, beyond which age no enlistment was received. Of 1,012,273 recorded ages taken from the rolls, there were 133,475 at 18 years ; 90,215 at 19 years, and so on. The number at 25 years of age was 46,626 ; and, at 44 years, 16,070.* The muster-rolls also state the nativities of the men ; from which it appears that, in round numbers, out of 2,000,000 men, three-fourths were native Americans. Of the 500,000 soldiers of foreign birth, Germany furnished 175,000 ; Ireland, 150,000 ; England, 50,000 ; British America, 50,000 ; other countries, 75,000. The average height of the American soldiers, as shown by the records of the recruiting officers, was 5 feet 8|- inches. The men from Maine, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky, were slightly above this figure. The West Virginians averaged 5 feet 9 inches in height. The general average would have been greater had it not included the measurements of recruits from 17 to 20 years of age, who evidently had not attained their full stature when their measurement was recorded. Out of about 1,000,000 recorded heights of soldiers there were 3,613 who were over 6 feet 3 inches, and among them were some who were over 7 feet.f By selecting from the whole Army, there could have been formed regiments and brigades of tall men which would have surpassed the famous giant-guards of Frederick the Great. But tall men proved to be poor material for a long, toilsome campaign. When, after a hard, forced march, the captain looked over his company at nightfall to see how many men he had with him, the " ponies" who trudged along at the tail of the company were generally all there ; it was the head end of the company that was thinned out. The records of the weights of the soldiers are incomplete ; but, such as they are, they indicate that the average weight was 143|- pounds. The descriptive lists show also the color of hair, from which it appears that 13 per cent, of the soldiers had black hair ; 25 per cent, had dark hair ; 30 per cent., brown hair ; 24 per cent., light ; 4 per cent., sandy ; 3 per cent., red ; and 1 per cent., gray hair. Anthropological Statistics of American Soldiers : by Dr. Benjamin Apthorp Gould. f The tallest man for whose stature the testimony is complete and unimpectcnable, is Captain Van Buskirk, of the Twenty-seventh Indiana. General Silas Colgrove, formerly colonel of that regiment writes that he has frequently seen him measured and that his stature was full 82> inches, without his shoes, or 209.5 centimeters. General Colgrove adds that he was a brave man, and bore the fatigues of marching as well as most men of ordinary stature. The shortest man for whom the record is satisfactorily verified was a member of the One Hundred and Ninety-second Ohio. At the time of enlistment he was 24 years old, and 40 inches in height. Colonel F. W. Butterfleld, his commanding officer, vouches for the correctness of this record. He also assures us that he knew the man well ; and, that there was no soldier in his command who could endure a greater amount of fatigue and exposure." .>/. . A. Gould.

CHAPTER VIII. CORPS ORGANIZATIONS. \\71TH the record of each regiment given in these pages will be found the division and corps to which it belonged. The history of a regiment is so largely identical with that of its corps, that such information serves at once to familiarize the student with the part which it played in connection with the war. An excessive loss in action, or an immunity from the casualties of battle, requires but little explanation where there is a thorough ac quaintance with the history of the division and corps with which the regiment in question was connected. An additional interest, also, attaches to the record of each command as the history of its corps is fully understood. The corps badges, which were worn by many commands, were first ordered in the spring of 1863, and were adopted immediately by the Army of the Potomac ; but in the Western armies these badges did not appear on the men s caps until 1864, and then they were only partially adopted. In some corps they were not worn at all. The badges were of various shapes and were stamped out of flannel cloth ; in size, they were about an inch and one-half across, and were fastened conspicuously on the men s caps. They were of different colors, the first division of each corps wearing red badges ; the second, white ; and the third, blue. The idea originated in 1862 in Kearny s Division, in which the soldiers wore a diamond- shaped piece of flannel on their caps. The corps badges which were most conspicuous during the war, by reason of their general use, were : the round or disc-shaped badge of the First Corps ; the trefoil, or ace of clubs, worn by the Second ; the lozenge, or diamond-shaped badge of the Third ; the triangular patch of the Fourth ; the Maltese cross, of the Fifth ; the Greek cross, of the Sixth ; the crescent of the Eleventh ; the star, of the Twelfth ; and the acorn, of the Fourteenth. The various corps were organized, for the most part, with three divisions, each division containing three brigades, and each brigade consisting of five regiments, making 45 regiments of infantry in a corps, to which were added about nine batteries of light artillery. But this form was adhered to only as a general rule, and was varied at times to meet temporary exigencies. The greatest variation occurred in the brigades, the depletion, at times, of some regiments making additional ones necessary to keep up a proper effective strength. During the Atlanta campaign, some brigades in the Fourth and Fourteenth Corps contained nine regiments. Then, again, a corps would have occasionally four divisions, and some divisions would have four brigades ; but such cases were exceptional, and generally proved to be but temporary arrangements. In 1S63 the cavalry were organized into a corps by themselves ; prior to that each corps was accompanied by a brigade of cavalry regiments. Batteries of light artillery, organized in brigades of about five batteries each, were attached to each corps, in addition to which the Army of the Potomac had an artillery reserve (64) THK FIRST COKI*S. 05 consisting of five brigades 21 batteries in all. This Artillery Corps of the Army of the Potomac was under command of General Henry J. Hunt. Prior to the adoption of corps organizations, the various armies of the Union consisted of divisions numbered in the order of their formation. This plan was adhered to in the Western armies until December, 18Gi>. The Army of the Ohio contained several divisions, each division containing three brigades. But these brigades were numt>ered without reference to their divisions, and hence, in the roster of the Army of Ohio, at Shiloh, we find, for instance, that the Fourth DivisionNelson s was composed of the loth, l!th and -J-Jnd Brigades; and at Perryville, in the Eleventh Division -- Sheridan s - the brigades were not the 1st, 2d, and :kl, but the 35th, 30th and 37th Brigades. The Army of the Tennessee contained six divisions at Shiloh, and the Army of the Mississippi fought at luka without any corps formation. This lack of proper organization did not last long, and in 18(53 the Western armies took the field with corps organizations similar to those which General McClellan had instituted in the Army of the Potomac, and which were retained during the remainder of the war.

Wlien Gen eral McClellan moved the Army to the Peninsula, in April, 18<>2, McDowell s corps was left in Northern Virginia. Franklin s Division was ordered, soon after, to the Peninsula, where it was used in forming the Sixth Corps, its place in McDowell s command l>eing taken by Ricketts Division. In June, McCall s Division --the famous Pennsylvania Reserves was also sent to the Peninsular Army, but upon the return of McClellan s forces to Washington, the Reserves rejoined McDowell, and fought under him at Second Bull Run. During the absence of the Army of the Potomac, McDowell was engaged in an active campaign which culminated in the battles around Manassas, the first general engagement in which the corps participated ; loss, 595 killed, 2,853 wounded, and 2,021 missing, out of alxmt 18,500 effective men. During the short time in which the army was under Pope, McDowell s Corps was officially designated as the Third Corps, Army of Virginia; but upon General McClellan s restoration to command it resumed its former and proper title, the First Army Corps. While on the Maryland campaign the Corps was commanded by General Hooker, and the divisions by Generals Hatch, Ricketts and Meade ; it numbered 14,s50 men. It was prom inently engaged at South Mountain, and also at Antietam, where it oijened the battle, its casualties in that engagement amounting to 41 7 killed, 2,051 wounded and 1-22 missing. Gen- eralJohn F. Reynolds was in command at Fredericksburg, with Doubleday, Gibbon and Meade as division generals ; loss, 347 killed, i,4i >( . wounded, and 5(51 missing ; total, 3,337. After this battle, the division of Pennsylvania Reserves -Meade s (3d) Division - withdrawn from the front, and ordered to Washington that it might rest and recruit. This division, in addition to the battles of the First Corps, had served previously on the Peninsula, where it had encountered hard fighting and heavy losses. While on the Peninsula, the Re- serves were attached to the Fifth Corps. When the division rejoined McDowell s Corps, at Manassas, it was with depleted ranks which were still further thinned by its subsequent battles. After taking its departure for Washington it never rejoined the First Corps, its B 66 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. place being taken by a division composed of new troops, Doubleday s (3d) Division. The corps was only slightly engaged at Chaiicellorsville, it being held in reserve. At Gettysburg, in the battle of the first day, this corps did some of the best fighting of the war. The division commanders on that field were Wads worth, Robinson and Doubleday; General Reynolds, who was still in command of the corps, was killed just as he rode on the field, and before his troops were fairly engaged. General Doubleday succeeded to the com mand, and handled the corps during that action in a remarkably able manner. A noteworthy feature of that day was that the corps, although finally driven from the field by a superior force, succeeded in capturing, at different times and at different points on the field, parts of three brigades of the enemy, --Archer s, Davis , and Iverson s*- -taking them in open field fighting, where there were none of the usual accessories of breastworks, intrenchments, or protection of any kind other than that which the field afforded. The First Corps fought that day with no other protection than the flannel blouses that covered their stout hearts. It con tained 34: regiments of infantry, and 5 batteries of light artillery, numbering 9,403 infantry " present for duty, equipped ;" loss, 593 killed, 3,209 wounded and 2,222 missing ; total 6,024, out of less than 9,000 in action. Of the missing, a large proportion were killed or wounded. Prior to this battle, the roster of the corps had undergone considerable change. Eight New York regiments had gone home, their two years term of service having expired; also, one nine months regiment from Pennsylvania. These changes reduced the First and Second Divisions to two brigades each. The Pennsylvania Reserves had been replaced by a new divis ion of two brigades, to which Stannard s Vermont Brigade was added just before the battle. Stannard s Brigade was composed of nine -months men whose term of service expired just after the battle ; three of his regiments took a prominent part in the fighting of the third day, in the repulse of Pickett s charge. Gen. John Newton, a division general in the Sixth Corps, was appointed to fill Reynolds place, assuming command during the second day s battle at Gettysburg an appointment which appears as an injustice to Doubleday, who had displayed a marked ability in his opera tions of the first day. Newton, however, was one of the ablest generals in the service, and was well fitted for so high a command. At Mine Run, his division commanders were Cutler, Robinson, and Kenly. This was the last campaign of the First Corps ; for in March, 1S64, the organization was ordered discontinued and transferred to the Fifth Corps, the brigades having been consolidated into two divisions, which, under Robinson and Wadsworth, became respectively the Second and Fourth Divisions of the Fifth Corps. This was an act of gross injustice, and a cruel violation of the corps pride. It was entirely unnecessary ; and a serious blunder, instead of an improvement on the army organi zation, f The men were, however, allowed to wear their old First Corps badges, a concession highly valued, as they had made the little flannel discs synonymous with all that was gallant and grand in war. The corps had contained some exceptionally good material. The division composed of the Pennsylvania Reserves had no equal in the Army as a division, while the Iron Brigade was famous for its hard fighting, its percentage of killed exceeding that of any other brigade in the Armies of the Union. It may be well to note that for a short time, a few weeks only, during Pope s campaign, General Sigel s troops were also officially designated as the First Corps ; but, it was the First Corps, Army of Virginia. Then, again, in November, 1864, a few months before the close of the war, the War Department issued orders for the formation of a new corps to be composed of veterans selected men who had served creditably a full term in their regi- *No one of these brigades was captured entire, many of the men escaping. 1 General llunipreys: Virginia Campaign, pp. 3 and 4.

The second corps was prominent hy reason of its longer and continuous service, larger organization, hardest fighting, and greatest number of casualties. Within its ranks w;us the regiment which sustained the largest percentage of loss in any one action ; also, the regiment which sustained the greatest numerical loss in any one action ; als"o, the regiment which sustained the greatest numerical loss during its term of service; while, of the one hundred regiments in the Union Army which lost the most men in battle, thirty-five of them l>elonged to the Second Corps. The corps was organized under General Orders No. ll, March 13, 18<>2, which assigned General Edwin V. Simmer to its command, and Generals Richardson, Scdgwick, and Blenker to the command of its divisions. Within three weeks of its organization the corps moved Avith McClellan s Army to the Peninsula, excepting Blenker s Division, which was withdrawn on March 31st from McClellan s command, and ordered to ree nforce Fremont s troops in Western Virginia. Blenker s Division never rejoined the corps, in fact, it had never really joined. The remaining two divisions, which constituted the corps, numbered 21,500 men, of whom 18,000 were present for duty. The first general engagement of the corps occurred at Fair Oaks, where Simmer s prompt and soldierly action brought the corps on the field in time to retrieve a serious disaster, and change a rout into a victory. The casualties of the two divisions in that battle amounted to 196 killed, 899 wounded, and 90 missing. In the Seven Days Battle it lost 2<>1 killed. 1.195 wounded, and 1,024 missing. UIKHI the withdrawal of the Army from before Rkjimond, it moved to the support of Pope at Second Bull Run, arriving on that field in time to go into position at Chantilly, but was not engaged. The corps then marched on the Maryland campaign, during which French s (Third) Division was added. At Antietam the corps was prominently engaged, its casualties amount ing to more than double that of any other corps on the field. Out of 1 5,000 effectives, it lost 883 killed, 3,859 wounded, and 390 missing ; total, 5, 138. Nearly one-half of these casualties occurred in Sedgwick s (Second) Division, in its bloody and ill-planned advance on the Dunker church, an affair which was under Simmer s personal direction. The Irish Brigade, of Richardson s (First) Division, also sustained a terrible loss in its fight at the "Bloody Lane," but, at the same time, inflicted a greater one on the enemy. General Richardson was killed in this battle, and General Sedgwick received three wounds. The next battle was at Fredericksburg. In the meantime Simmer had l>een promoted to the command of a Grand Division Second and Ninth Corps and General Darius N. Couch, 68 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. a division commander of the Fourth Corps, was appointed to his place. General Hancock succeeded to the command of Richardson s (1st) Division, and General Howard took Sedg- wick s place, the latter being absent on account of wounds. The loss of the corps at Fred- ricksburg exceeded that of any other in that battle, amounting to 412 killed, 3,214 wounded, and 488 missing, one-half of which fell on Hancock s Division in the unsuccessful assault on Marye s Heights. The percentage of loss in Hancock s Division was large, Cald well s (1st) Brigade losing 46 per cent, killed and wounded. After Fredericksburg, the Grand Divisions were discontinued, and General Sumner retiring on account of age and physical disabilities, General Couch remained in command. Couch led the corps at Chancellorsville, with Hancock, Gibbon, and French as his division commanders. Sedgwick had been promoted to the command of the Sixth Corps, and Howard, who had commanded Sedgwick s Division at Fredericksburg, was promoted to the command of the Eleventh Corps. At Chancellorsville the principal part of the Second Corps fighting fell on Hancock s Division, its skirmish line, under Colonel Nelson A. Miles, distinguishing itself by a successful resistance to a strong attack of the enemy, making one of the most interesting episodes in the history of that battle. During the fighting at Chancellorsville, Gibbon s (2d) Division remained at Fredericksburg, where it supported Sedgwick s operations, but with slight loss. Not long after Chancellorsville, General Couch was relieved at his own request, Hancock succeeding to the command of the corps, and Cald well to that of Hancock s Division. While on the march to Gettysburg, General Alex. Hays Brigade joined, and was assigned to the Third Division, Hays taking command of the division. At Gettysburg, the corps was hotly engaged in the battles of the second and third days, encountering there the hardest fighting in its experience, and winning there its grandest laurels ; on the second day, in the fighting at the wheat-field, and on the third, in the repulse of Pickett s charge, which was directed against Hancock s position. The fighting was deadly in the extreme, the percentage of loss in the First Minnesota, Gibbon s Division, being without an equal in the records of modern warfare. The loss in the corps was T96 killed, 3,186 wounded and 368 missing ; a total of 4,350 out of less than 10,500* engaged. Gibbon s Division suffered the most, the percentage of loss in Harrow s (1st) Brigade being unusually severe. Hancock and Gibbon were seriously wounded, while of the brigade commanders, Zook, Cross, Willard and Sherrill were killed. The monthly return of the corps, June 30, 1863, shows an aggregate of 22,336 borne on the rolls, but shows only 13,056 "present for duty." From the latter deduct the usual pro portion of non-combatants, the musicians, teamsters, cooks, servants and stragglers, and it becomes doubtful if the corps had over 10,000 muskets in line at Gettysburg. General Hancock s wounds necessitated an absence of severa, months. General William Hays was placed in command of the corps immediately after the battle of Gettysburg, retaining the command until August 12th, when he was relieved by General Gouverneur K. Warren, who was ordered to take Hancock s place during the latter s absence. Warren had distinguished himself at Gettysburg by his quick comprehension of the critical situation at Little Round Top, and by the energetic promptness with which he remedied the difficulty. He had also made a brilliant reputation in the Fifth Corps, and as the chief topographical officer of the Army of the Potomac. He was, subsequently, in command at Bristoe Station, a Second Corps affair, and one which was noticeable for the dash with which officers and men fought, together with the superior ability displayed by Warren himself. He also commanded at Mine Run and Morton s Ford, the divisions at that time being under Generals Oaldwell, Webb and Alex. Hays. Upon the reorganization of the Army of the Potomac, March 23, 1864, the Third Corps * 12,363 infantry, 82 cavalry and 551 artillery " present for duty, equipped." TUB SECOND CORPS. 60 was discontinued, and two of its three divisions worn ordered transform! to tho Second. Under this arrangement the Second Corps was increased to si regiments of infantry and 10 batteries of light artillery. The material of the old Second Corps was consolidated into two divisions, under Generals Barlow and Gibbon; the two divisions of tho Third Corps were transferred intact, and were numl>ered as the Third and Fourth, with Generals Birney and Mott in command. By this accession, the Second Corps attained in April, 1864, an aggregate strength of 46,363, with 28,854 present for duty. General Hancock, having partially recovered from his wounds, resumed command, and led his battle-scarred divisions across the Rapidan. In the battle of the Wilderness the corps lost 699 killed, 3,877 wounded, and 510 missing; total. 5,092, half of this loss falling on Birney s (Third) Division. General Alex. Hays, commanding the Second Brigade of Birney s Division, was among the killed. At Spotsylvania the Second Corps again attained a glorious place in history by Han cock s brilliant and successful assault on the morning of May 12th. During the lighting around Spotsylvania, Mott s (Fourth) Division became so depleted by casualties, and by the loss of several regiments whose term of service had expired, that it was discontinued and merged into Birney s Division, Mott retaining the command of a brigade. The casualties of the corps in the various actions around Spotsylvania, from May 8th to the r.th, aggregated 894 killed, 4,947 wounded, and 801 missing; total 0,642, or over one-third of the loss in the entire Army of the Potomac, including the Ninth Corps. Tho heaviest loss occurred in Bar low s (First) Division. Up to this time the Second Corps had not lost a color nor a gun, although it had previously captured 44 stands of colors from the enemy. After more of hard and continuous fighting at the North Anna, and along the Toto- potomoy, the corps reached the memorable h eld of Cold Harbor. While at Spotsylvania it had been reenforced by a brigade of heavy artillery regiments, acting as infantry, and by the brigade known as the Corcoran Legion, so that at Cold Harbor it numbered 53,831, present and absent, with 26,900 "present for duty/ Its loss at Cold Harbor including eleven days in the trenches, was 494 killed, 2,442 wounded, and 574 missing ; total. 3,5 10. Birney s Division was but slightly engaged. In the assaults on the Petersburg intrenchments, June 10th -isth, the Corps is again credited with the largest casualty list. In one of these attacks, the First Maine Heavy Artillery sustained the most remarkable loss of any regimental organization, in any one action, during the war. At this time the corps contained 85 regiments ; its effective strength, however, was less than at a previous date. The corps recrossed the James, and fought at Deep Bottom, July 26th, and again on August 14th; then, having returned to the lines around Petersburg, Barlow s and Birney s Divisions were engaged at Ream s Station, on August 25th, a disastrous and unfortunate affair, in which it lost a large number of men captured. At the battle of the Boydton Road, October 27, 1864, the division commanders were Generals Egan and Mott, the First Division (Miles ), being retained in the trenches In Novem ber, 1864, General Hancock was assigned to other duty, and General Andrew A. Humphreys, chief of staff to the Army of the Potomac, succeeded to his position. He was in command during the final campaign, the divisions being under Generals Miles, William Hays and Mott. The corps fought its last battle at Farmville, April 7, 1S65, two days tefore Lee s surrender. In this final action General Thomas A. Smyth, a brigadier in Hays (2d) Division, was killed. Smyth was an officer with a brilliant reputation, and at one time commanded the famous Irish Brigade. The history of the Second Corps was identical with that of the Army of the Potomac:. It needs 110 words of praise its record was unsurpassed. 70 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. THIED CORPS.

The Third Corps included in its organization the famous Kearny Division ; also, Hooker s Division, the Excelsior Brigade, the Second Jersey Brigade, and other well known commands. Its brilliant record is closely interwoven with the history of the Virginia campaigns of 1862 - 63, in which it fought during two eventful years. It was organized March 13, 1862, with Generals Hooker, Hamilton and Fitz John Porter as its three division commanders, and General S. P. Heiiitzelman in command of the corps. It was immediately ordered to the Peninsula, Hamilton s Division embarking on the 17th, and leading the advance of the Army of the Potomac on that memorable campaign. During the siage of Yorktown the corps was at its maximum, the morning reports of April 30th showing an aggregate of 39,710, with 64 pieces of light artillery, and 34,633 reported as "pres ent for duty." But this aggregate was maintained but for a short time, as Porter s Division was taken away soon after to form part of the newly organized Fifth Corps. Hamilton was relieved on April 30th, and General Philip Kearny took his place, Hamilton going to the Army of the Mississippi, where he was assigned to a division command. Upon the evacuation of Yorktown, the Third Corps led the pursuit of the retreating enemy, attacking him, May 5th, at Williamsburg, with Hooker s and Kearny s Divisions. This battle was fought almost entirely by the Third Corps ; of the 2,239 casualties on that field, 2,002 occurred within its ranks ; and three-fourths of them in Hooker s Division, the brunt of the battle having fallen on the Excelsior Brigade and Jersey Brigade, both in Hooker s command. Porter s Division was not engaged, having been left at Yorktown ; on May 18th it was permanently detached, leaving only two divisions, Hooker s and Kearny s in the corps, and reducing its aggregate strength to 23,331 present and absent, with 34 pieces of field artillery. The two divisions numbered about 17,000 effectives, out of the 18,205 re ported as " present for duty." At Fair Oaks, its next battle, it lost 209 killed, 945 wounded and 91 missing, principally in Jameson s and Berry s Brigades of Kearny s Division. Five fresh regiments joined in June, increasing its report of June 20th to 27,474 " present and absent, " of whom 18,428 were reported "present for duty, equipped ;" this included eight batteries of light artillery, of 40 guns. After deducting the large number of non-combatants and detailed men which are included in the " present for duty, " the corps probably numbered at this time about 17,000 effectives, available in case of action. The corps made the opening fight in the Seven Days Battle, at Oak Grove, June 25th, fighting again at Glendale 011 the 30th, and at Malvern Hill on July 1st ; its losses in these engagements aggregated 158 killed, 1,021 wounded, and 794 missing; total, 1,973. The heaviest loss occurred in Robinson s Brigade of Kearny s Division ; the First New York, Berry s Brigade, also encountered a hot fire at Glendale. Upon the withdrawal from the front of Richmond, the Third Corps accompanied the Army of the Potomac to Manassas, where it was sent to reenforce Pope. The corps left Harrison s Bar on August 14th, and marching to Yorktown embarked on the 20th for Alexan dria. It arrived at Warrenton Junction on the 26th, and on the following day the Excelsior Brigade had a sharp fight at Bristoe Station. On the 29th, the corps was engaged at Grove- ton, Grover s Brigade, of Hooker s Division, having a desperate fight at the railroad embank ment, in which the use of bayonets and clubbed muskets was officially reported. On the 1st of TIIK THIRD COUPS. 71 September, Kearny s Division was engaged at Chantilly, Birney s Brigade taking a prominent part ; Kearny was killed in this action. The losses of the corps at Manassas, including Bristoe, Groveton and Chantilly, amounted to 26o killed, 1,535 wounded and 458 missing; total, 2,238. Hooker s Division numbered fully 1 0,000 men at Yorktown, and received a reinforcement of about 3,000 more ; after Manassas, it drew rations at Fairfax Station for only 2,400 men. The arduous nature of its campaigns, as well as the bullets of the enemy, had told sadly on its numbers. The corps was so reduced by its losses that it was ordered into the defences of Washington to rest and recruit, remaining there during the Maryland campaign, and hence was not pre sent at Antietam. In November it joined Burnside s Army, then on its way to Frederieksburg, and arriving at Falmouth on the 24th, encamped there until the battle of December 13th. In the meantime, General Hooker had l>een promoted to the command of the Centre Grand Division, composed of the Third and Fifth Corps ; General George Stoneman had l>een assigned to the command of the Third Corps ; General Birney to that of the First Division, vice Kearny killed ; General Sickles to the Second Division, vice Hooker promoted ; and a third division, under General A. W. Whipple had been added. The corps was not prominently engaged at bYedericksburg, although under a heavj fire; still, its casualties amounted to it-" killed, S37 wounded and 202 missing; total 1,1S4, over half of which occurred in Ward s Brigade of Birney s Divison. After the battle the corps returned to its quarters at Falmouth, where it spent the winter of 1S62 - 03. General Sickles was promoted to the command of the corps, and General Hiram Berry to that of Sickles Division. On May 1, 1863, the corps broke camp and inarched to Chancellorsville, an eventful field in its history ; a battle in which the brunt of the fighting fell on the Third and Twelfth corps. It took 17,568 men, including non-combatants, on that campaign, losing 378 killed, 2,634 wounded and 1,090 missing ; total 4,102. Generals Berry and Whipple were among the killed. The depleted ranks were still further lessened by the loss of four New York regiments whose two-years term of enlistment had expired ; a nine-months regiment from Pennsylvania had also gone home. The corps was accordingly consolidated into two divisions ; the First under General Birney, and the Second under General Andrew A. Humphreys, an able officer who had distinguished himself as a division commander at Fredericksburg. At Gettysburg, the corps took a prominent part in the battle of the second day, and although forced to fall back from its untenable position on the Eminittsburg Road, it did not do so until it had exacted a fearful price from its assailants. Its losses at Gettysburg were 578 killed, 3,026 wounded, and 606 missing; total, 4,210 out of less than 10,000 actually engaged. The morning report showed 11,924 present for duty equipped. General Sickles was seriously wounded, losing a leg ; he left the corps, and General Birney succeeded temi>o- rarily to the command. In July, 1863, the corps was increased by the accession of French s Division, which had been in garrison at Harper s Ferry and was composed, mostly, of regiments with comparatively full ranks, although they had been in service several months. General French was assigned to the command of the corps. During the pursuit of Lee, after Gettysburg, a part of the corps was engaged at Wapping Heights, Va., July 23d, an action in which the Excelsior Brigade was prominently engaged. Another minor affair oecured at Kelly s Ford, Va., November 7, 1863, in which some regiments of Birney s (First) Division were under fire. In the Mine Run campaign a sharp fight took place at Locust Grove, Va., in which Carr s (3d) Division sustained considerable loss, the principal part of the casualties in that campaign occurring in the Third Corps. At this time General French was still in com mand of the corps, with Generals Birney, Prince and Carr in command of the divisions. 72 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. Upon the return from Mine Run, the corps went into winter-quarters at Brandy Station. On March 23, 1864, the order was issued for the discontinuance of the Third and First Corps. Unjust and ill-advised, it awoke a feeling of indignation and bitter resentment that has never been forgotten by the men. The wearers of the diamond badge gloried in the record of their corps ; on all occasions they proudly avowed their connection with it ; they considered it second to none, and gazed with pride on the historic names emblazoned on their flags. All this, however, counted for naught at the War Department ; the order was enforced, and the war-worn regiments marched away to fight under other banners ; the old corps lived only in the story of its deeds that nightly were recounted around the camp-fires of its veterans. The First and Second Divisions were transferred entire to the Second Corps, and, with Generals Birney and Mott in command, became respectively the Third and Fourth Divisions of that corps. The men were allowed to retain the old diamond-shaped, flannel badges on their caps, a prudent concession under the circumstances. The Third Division was transferred entire to the Sixth Corps, where, under command of General Ricketts, it became the Third Division of that corps. FOURTH CORPS. r (ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.)

Organized under General Orders No. 101, March 13, 1862, by which the First, Second, and Third Corps were also created. It was formed by the divisions of Couch, Smith, and Casey, with General E. D. Keyes in command of the corps. The returns for March 31, 1862, show that the Fourth Corps then numbered, in the aggregate, 37,910, with 60 pieces of artillery ; of this number, there were 32,919 present for duty. The corps moved to the Peninsula in March, 1862, with General McClellan s Army, taking part in the siege operations at York- town, and participating in the battle of Williamsburg, where it sustained a slight loss only. On May 18th, General Wm. F. Smith s Division was detached and assigned to the newly formed Sixth Corps, leaving the Fourth Corps to consist of the divisions of Generals Couch and Casey. After this reduction, it numbered on May 31st, 25,317 present and absent, with 17,132 present for duty ; the artillery numbered 38 guns. At the battle of Seven Pines (Fair Oaks) the full force of the Confederate attack was directed on an advanced position held by Casey s Division, which stood its ground for an hour, inflicting a severe loss on the enemy, and not retiring until sufficient supports had arrived to save the day. Couch s Division was also hotly engaged, the losses in the corps aggregating 384 killed, 1,747 wounded, and 466 missing; total, 2, 597 out of less than 12,000 engaged. Over half the loss at Fair Oaks fell on the Fourth Corps. During the Seven Days Battle, the corps guarded the trains during their withdrawal to the new base of supplies, but Couch s Division took a prominent part in the battle of Malvern Hill, losing over 600, killed or wounded there. When the army was ordered to abandon its position before Richmond, the Fourth Corps was divided. Couch s (1st) Division accompanied the Army of the Potomac on the Maryland campaign, some of the regiments becoming slightly engaged at Antietam. After that battle, Couch s Division was transferred, entire, to the Sixth Corps, becoming the Third Division of that corps, with General John Newton commanding the division. General Couch was pro moted to the command of the Second Corps. FOURTH CORIS, ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND. 73 In the meantime, Peck s (2d) Division of the Fourth Corps was ordered to remain on tin- Peninsula, from whence it went, after a few months stay, to Suffolk, Va. The Fourth Corps was officially discontinued in August, 1862, and its divisions were never reunited. FOURTH CORPS. (ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.)

This corps was composed of fighting regiments. Of the regiments in the Western armies, take the ones that sustained the greatest losses in battle, and it will be found that more of them were in the Fourth Corps than in any other. Although all of their fighting was not done Avhile in the Fourth Corps, it was done either in it or in the two corps which were consolidated in order to form tho Fourth. On Octol>er 0, 183, the Fourth Corps was organized by the consolidation of the Twentieth (McCook s) and Twenty-first (Crittenden s) Corps, in compliance with the President s order of September 28th. Though newly-formed, it was composed of veteran brigades whose battle flags were scarred with the marks of hard fought fields ; within this new command they were destined to wave amid the smoke and fire of many more. The command of the Fourth Corps was given to General Gordon Granger, the man who marched his division to Chicka- mauga with no other orders or direction than " the sound of the enemy s cannon." The three divisions of this new corps were placed under the commands of Generals Palmer, Sheridan, and Wood. Soon after its organization the corps went into action at Missionary Ridge, where it distinguished itself by its brilliant and successful charge up the heights. In this battle the two divisions of Sheridan and Wood lost 280 killed, 2,078 wounded, and 12 missing; total, 2,370, or more than half the casualties at Missionary Ridge. The first division, under com mand of General Cruft, was also engaged. During the following winter the corps marched to the relief of Knoxville, a campaign memorable for the suffering, hunger, and hardships endured by the men. In May, 1864, it moved on the Atlanta campaign, General Howard commanding the corps, and Generals Stanley, Newton, and Wood the divisions. Its hardest fighting during that campaign occurred at Pickett s Mills, and in the unsuccessful assault on Kenesaw Mountain. After the evacuation of Atlanta, the Fourth and Twenty-third Corps, under General Thomas, marched northward to confront Hood s forces, while Sherman, with the main army, wended his way, unmolested, to the sea. General Stanley was then in command of tin- Fourth Corps, General Howard having been promoted to the command of the Army of the Tennessee, upon the death of MacPherson; Kimball, Wagner, and Wood were in command of the divisions. On November 20, 18(54, a few days before the battle of Spring Hill, the corps numbered 14,715 present for duty; about 2,200 more joined before the battle of Franklin, in that battle the Confederates received the bloodiest repulse of the war, their men fighting wii unusual desperation, while twelve of their generals were killed or wounded in their unsuccessful attack on the Union intrenchments. At Franklin, Oixlycke s Brigade of the Fourth Corps won special distinction by its promptness and gallantry in retaking a part of the works whicl the enemy had seized. General Stanley was severely wounded in this action, and General Thomas J. Wood succeeded to his place. 74 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. General Wood had served with honor in the armies of the Ohio, and the Cumberland, from the commencement of the war. He commanded the Fourth Corps in its last battle its last victory, at Nashville. His division generals in that engagement were Kimball, Elliott, and Beatty ; the casualties in the corps were 135 killed, 834 wounded and 22 missing ; total, 991. The corps joined in the pursuit of Hood s defeated army, after which General Wood assembled it at Huntsville, Ala., arriving there January 5, 1865. On March 15th it moved into East Tennessee, in order to prevent the possible escape of Lee s and Johnston s armies, returning in April to Nashville, where it remained until June 16th, when it was ordered to New Orleans, en route for Texas. Although the war had virtually ended, the Fourth Corps remained in Texas during the rest of 1865, forming a part of Sheridan s Army of Occupation. The most of the regiments were, however, mustered out in December, 1865, in time for the men to spend Christmas in their homes. FIFTH CORPS.

The Fifth Corps was organized May 18, 1862, while the Army of the Potomac, to which it belonged, was engaged on the Peninsular campaign. It was formed by taking Porter s Division away from the Third Corps, and uniting with it Sykes Division of Regular troops, making a provisional corps of two divisions. This action was confirmed by the War Depart ment, July 22, 1862, whereupon, the term "Fifth Provisional" was dropped, and it became the Fifth Corps, Army of the Potomac. Banks Corps had been officially designated as the Fifth Corps, in general orders No. 101, March 13, 1862, but the designation does not appear to have been used in connection with Banks troops. The Fifth Corps of history is the one which wore the Maltese Cross. It was permanently organized, with General Fitz John Porter as the corps commander, and with Generals Morell and Sykes in command of the two divisions. The first battle of the corps occurred at Hanover Court House, Va., May 27, 1862, an engagement in which MorelFs Division stood the brunt of the fighting, and won a creditable victory. On May 31st, the returns showed 17,546 present for duty. On June 14th its ranks were increased by the accession of McCalPs Division of Pennsylvania Reserves, 9,500 strong, which served with the Fifth Corps during the Peninsular campaign, but left it upon the return to Washington, the Reserves rejoining McDowell s Corps, from which they had been detached. The battle of Games Mill was fought, almost entirely, by the Fifth Corps and Slocum s Division of the Sixth, the whole under command of General Porter. His troops held their position stoutly, although the attacking forces comprised the entire Confederate Army, with the exception of Magruder s command. At Glendale, the division of Pennsylvania Reserves was hotly engaged, and at Malvern Hill some of Porter s regiments were again in the thickest of the fight. The loss of the corps in the Seven Days Battle was 995 killed, 3,805 wounded, and 2,801 captured or missing; totil, 7,601, or half the entire loss of the army. Of these casualties, 6,837 occurred at Games Mill ; the remainder at Mechanicsville, Glendale, and Malvern Hill. FIFTH TURPS. 75 The next battle was Maoaasas (Second Bull Run), where the corps, still under command of General Porter, did some of the bust fighting on that field, the largest regimental loss, in killed and wounded, in Poj>e s entire Army at that battle, occurring in the Duryee Zouaves, one of Porter s regiments. The two small divisions of Morell and Sykes sustained a loss there of IJ31 killed, I, iit .i* \voimded, and 4f>> missing; a total of 2,151, out of about (5,500 engaged; Griffin s Brigade not being in action. At Antietam, Porter s Corps was held in reserve ; still, it Was drawn on freely during the day, so that Sykes Division was, almost wholly, in action. Soon after this battle a third division was assigned to the corps, taking the place of the Pennsylvania Reserves. This new division was commanded by General Humphreys, and was composed of two brigades; the regiments were all from Pennsylvania and were mostly nine-months men, newly recruited. General Daniel Buttertield commanded the corps at Frederick si mrg, and Generals Griffin. Sykes, and Humphreys the divisions; loss, ii(Mi killed, 1,C(JU wounded, and 300 missing; total, 2,175. Over half of the loss fell on Humphreys new recruits, who made a dashing attempt, under his personal leadership, t<> carry Marye s Heights after all other efforts had failed. General Meade succeeded Butterfield, and led the corps to Chancellorsville, where it was but partially engaged ; loss, 65) killed, 472 wounded, and l.V. missing. The time of the nine- months regiments in Humphreys Division expired soon after Chancellorsville, and that divis ion was necessarily discontinued ; but upon the news of Lee s invasion, in ls<>3, the Penn sylvania Reserves, who were then on duty in Washington, petitioned that they be allowed to march to the defence of their state. Accordingly, two brigades of the Reserves rejoined the Army of the Potomac, and were assigned to the Fifth Corps, in which they again served as the Third Division, this time under command of General S. W. Crawford. General Meade having been promoted to the command of the Army, just before the battle of Gettysburg, General Sykes succeeded to his place ; the divisions, were commanded at Gettysburg by Generals Barnes, Ayres, and Crawford. The corps distinguished itself in that battle by its fighting in the wheat-field, and also by the gallant action of Vincent s Brigade in seizing Little Round Top, just in time to save the Army from what might have been a serious disaster. The corps loss at Gettysburg was 3(55 killed, 1, (HI wounded, and 211 miss ing ; a total of 2,187, out of about 1 1,000 actually engaged. The regular troops of the Army of the Potomac were all in the Fifth Corps, Second (Ayres ) Division, and at Gettysburg these two brigades, under Colonels Day and Burbank, again displayed that marked efficiency which, at Games Mill and on other fields, had made them famous, their thinned ranks becoming again sadly depleted under the terrible fire which they encountered. General Sykes remained in command, and handled the corps on the Mine Run campaign ; the division generals were Bartlett, Ayres, and Crawford. In March, 1804, the First Corps was transferred to the Fifth, and General G Warren was assigned to the command. The First and Second Divisions of the Fifth Corps were consolidated, forming the First Division, under General Griffin, while the Third Division - Crawford s Pennsylvania Reserves remained unchanged ; the First Corps had l>een consoli dated into two divisions, prior to the transfer, which now became the Second and Fourth Divisions of the Fifth Corps, under command, respectively, of Generals Robinson and Wadf worth. Under this reorganization, the Fifth Corps contained <J7 regiments of infantry, ami batteries of light artillery (48 guns), numbering in all 25,695 officers and men " present dutv, equipped." General Wads worth was killed in the battle of the Wildernefi and General was severely wounded, losing a leg at Spotsylvania. General Cutler, of the Iron Brigade, 76 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. succeeded to Wadsworth s command, while Eobinsoii s Division was broken up, and its regi ments were distributed to the other three divisions. The losses of the Fifth Corps, at the Wilderness, May 5th and 6th, were 487 killed, 2,817 wounded, and 1,828 missing ; total, 5,132. At Spotsylvania, May 8th-13th, it lost 657 killed, 3,448 wounded, and 375 missing ; total, 4,480. During the hard fighting and bloody assaults at Cold Harbor, the Fifth Corps was in line at Bethesda Church, a point oil the extreme right, where it was engaged in some sharp actions along the skirmish line, in which it sustained a considerable loss. It also took part in the assaults on Petersburg, June 18, 1864, losing 389 killed, 1,899 wounded, and 38 missing ; after which it took its place in the trenches preparatory to the long siege which followed. During the seige it was engaged, August 19th, in the battle at the Weldoii Railroad, in which a large number of the men were captured. In. this action the divisions were commanded by Griffin, Ay res, and Crawford, these officers remaining in command of their divisions until the close of the war. On October 27th the Corps participated in the first of the battles at Hatcher s Run (Boydton Road), in which it sustained a loss of 279. On February 5th, 1865, it was again engaged at Hatcher s Run (Dabney s Mills), with a loss of 1,319 killed, wounded, and missing. On March 31, 1865, just before the final campaign, the morning reports show the corps strength to have been 17,073, "present for duty, equipped." In the closing battles of the war, from March 29th to April 9th, 1865 --including Gravelly Run, White Oak Road, and Five Forks the casualties in the corps aggregated 2,465 in killed, wounded, and missing. Its last battle was fought at Five Forks, in which action the corps, still under Warren, captured 3,244 men, 11 flags, and 1 battery of artillery. The war having ended, the organiza tion was discontinued, June 28, 1865. SIXTH CORPS.

The Sixth Provisional Corps was organized May 18, 1862, by uniting Franklin s Division, which had just arrived on the Peninsula, with General W. F. Smith s Division, which was taken away from the Fourth Corps for this purpose. This provisional arrangement having been sanctioned by the War Department, the command received its permanent designation as the Sixth Army Corps. General William B. Franklin was appointed corps commander, and General H. W. Slocum succeeded to the command of Franklin s Division. On June 20, 1862, the corps numbered 24,911, present and absent, with 19,405 present for duty, equipped ; the corps artillery numbered 40 guns. At Games Mill, Slocum s Division was sent to the support of General Porter, and became hotly engaged, losing 2,021 men out of less than 8,000 present. The Vermont brigade of Smith s (2nd) Division took a prominent part in the fight at Savage Station, the Fifth Ver mont losing 209 men in that action. The corps fought at other points during the Seven Days Battle, but at Malvern Hill it was held in reserve. At Manassas (Second Bull Run) it was partially engaged, the Jersey Brigade of Slocum s (1st) Division having a sharp fight on August 27th, at Bull Run Bridge, in which it lost 339 in killed, wounded and missing, Gen eral Taylor, the brigade commander, receiving a mortal wound. While on McClellan s campaign, Slocum s Division made a gallant and successful charge up the mountain s side at SIXTH Coiii s. 77 Crampton s Gap, driving the enemy from a strong ]x>sition ; Slocum s loss was m killed, 418 wounded, and two missing; total, 533. The corps was under fire again at Antietam, but was only partially engaged ; the third Brigade (Irwin s) of Smith s Division, took an active part, however, i In- Seventh Maim- ami Twentieth Ne\\ York sustaining severe losse Important changes in the corps now took place. It received a valuable accession by the transfer of Couch s Division of the Fourth Corps, which now l>ecame the Third Division of the Sixth, with General John Newton in command. General Franklin was promoted to the command of the Left Grand Division, Sixth and First Corps, and General Smith succeeded to the command of the corps. General Slocum s able services were acknowledged by his promotion to the command of the Twelfth Corps, and General W. T. Brooks succeeded Slo- cum in command of the First Division, while General A. P. Howe succeeded to the com mand of Smith s (2nd) Division. The next battle occurred at Fredericksburg, Dec. 18, 18(52, in which only a few regiments of the corps were engaged, although all were under a severe artillery lire. But the cori>s was engaged on the same field, May 3, 18t>3, in an action which made it famous on account of the brilliant display of dash and daring. When Hooker took the Army to Chancellors- viile he left the Sixth Corps in front of Fredericksburg, which was still held by a strong force of the enemy. General Sedgwick, who had succeeded to the corps command, ordered an assault on Marye s Heights, and that strong position which had defied the assaults of the previous battle, was now carried by the Sixth Corps at the point of the bayonet. The divisions of Newton and Howe were the ones engaged ; Brooks (1st) Division was engaged later in the day, at Salem Church. The corps lost in this battle, 4sr> killed, 2,<>H> wounded, and 1,485 missing ; total 4,589. The missing ones were, for the most part, lost in the action at Salem Church. On the day before this battle, the corps returns showed a strength of 23,730, "present for duty," of whom less than 20,000 were present in action. The Gettysburg campaign came next, in which the divisions were commanded by Generals Wright, Howe, and Newton. The corps was held in reserve at Gettysburg, excepting Shaler s Brigade, which was sent into action as a support to the Twelfth Corps; several casualties, also, occurred in Eustis and Wheatou s Brigades, of Newton s Division. During the pursuit of Lee s Army, after Gettysburg, the Vermont Brigade was engaged in a very creditable affair at Funkstown, Md., where this one brigade, drawn out in a skirmish line of over a mile in length, alone and unassisted, repelled a determined attack of a vastly sui>erior force, which in massed columns charged this skirmish line repeatedly. The Vermonters sustained but slight loss, as they occupied a strong, natural position. Having returned to Virginia, the corps participated, November 7, 18(53, at Rappahannock Station in a successful assault on the enemy s intrenehments. In this affair there was another display of that dash and gallantry which was so eminently characteristic of the Sixth Corps.* The Sixth Maine and Fifth Wisconsin distinguished themselves particularly in this action, leading the storming party and carrying the works with the bayonet only. It was a brilliant success, resulting not only in a victory, but in the capture of a large numl>er of prisoners, small arms, artillery and battle fiags. On the Mine Run campaign the divisions were commanded by Generals Wright, Howe, and H. D. Terry, but were not in action to any extent. The corps went into winter-quarters at Brandy Station. Upon the reorganization of the Army, in March, lsH, several changes were made. The Third Division was broken up. Shaler s Brigade being transferred to Wright s (1st) Division, while the brigades of Eustis and \Vheaton were placed in the Second Division, At Rappahannoek Station, Captain Furlong, of the Sixth Maine, leaped over the enemy s work*, and after emptying his revolver, fought with a clubbed musket, swinging it round his head until he fell dead. After the battle his body was found among a pile of dead, BTeral of whom had been killed by the blows of a musket stock. 78 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. the command of which was given to General Geo. W. Getty, an able officer who had served as a division-general in the Ninth Corps, and, also, in the Seventh Corps at theSeigeof Suffolk. The place of the Third Division was filled by the Third Division of the Third Corps, that corps having been discontinued ; the command of this division was given to General Ricketts. The corps now contained 49 regiments of infantry, an artillery brigade composed of 8 bat teries of light artillery (48 guns), and a battalion of heavy artillery acting as infantry ; number ing in all, 24,163, "present for duty, equipped." In the battles of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania it encountered the hardest contested fighting of its experience. At the Wilderness, the Vermont Brigade Getty s -Division - lost 1,232 men out of the 2,800 effectives that crossed the Rapidan on the previous day. At Spotsylvania, the Jersey Brigade of Wright s Division was engaged in a deadly struggle, the percentage of killed in the Fifteenth New Jersey being equalled in only one instance during the whole war. On May 10th at Spotsylvania General Upton led a storming party of twelve picked regiments selected from the Sixth Corps, which carried the Confederate works after a hand-to-hand fight in which bayonet wounds were freely given and received.* On May 1 2th - - Spotsylvania the whole corps fought at the Bloody Angle, " where the fighting was the closest and deadliest of any recorded in the history of modern wars. General Sedg- wick was killed at Spotsylvania, and General Wright succeeded to the command, General Russell succeeding Wright in the command of the First Division. The casualties of the corps at the Wilderness were, 719 killed, 3,660 wounded, 65u missing ; total, 5,035 ; and at Spotsyl vania, 688 killed, 2,820 wounded, 534 missing ; total, 4,042. In the assault at Cold Harbor, June 1st, 1864, the corps sustained another severe loss, 2,715 of its number falling, killed or wounded in that ill-advised attempt. Accompanying the Army to Petersburg it participated in the preliminary operations incidental to the invest ment of that stronghold. But its stay was of short duration, Early s invasion of Maryland necessitating a transfer of troops to confront him, and the heroes of Marye s Heights were selected for that duty. On July 6th, Ricketts (3d) Division embarked at City Point, and, landing at Baltimore on the 8th, marched out to meet Early. This division took part in the battle at Monocacy on the following day, and, although unable to defeat Early, checked his advance. The other two divisions embarked on the 10th and, landing at Washington, attacked Early, whose advance had reached Fort Stevens, within the city limits. The brunt of this fight fell to the lot of BidwelPs (3d) Brigade, of Getty s (3d) Division, every regimental com mandant in this brigade, but one, being either killed or wounded. The corps followed in pursuit of Early through Maryland, into Virginia, and up the Sheiiandoah Valley. Sheridan was placed in command of the Army of the Shenaiidoah, which was composed of the Sixth, Eighth, and Nineteenth Corps, and its campaign of 1864, in the Valley, was a memorable one by reason of the victories at Opequoii, Fisher s Hill, and Cedar Creek. In the latter battle occurred the famous incident of Sheridan s Ride from Winchester; and, in justice to the Sixth Corps, it should be noted in connection with that affair, that General Wright had already given Early a successful check, had made the disposi tions for a counter advance, and was about to move forward when Sheridan resumed command. * Extract from a private letter from General Upton : MY DEAR SIR Your letter of the 7th, enclosing extract, is received. Bayonet wounds and sabre cuts are very rare. But at Spotsyl vania there were plenty of bayonet wounds ; and, no picture could Rive too exalted an idea of the gallantry of the TJlst New York, 5th Maine and 96th Pennsylvania, as they led the assaulting column of twelve picked regiments over the formidable entrenchments which confronted them. * * * Sincerely your friend, E. UPTON. To BKAYTON G. PRIERT, Theresa, N. Y. * From a letter in the National Tribune, May 20, 1887 : UPTON S CHARGE, May 12th "J. W. Johnson, and Thomas Ilassatt, of the 121st New York, received severe bayonet wounds. Simon Mann, of Company G, of the same regiment, fell on the works, shot dead, but had a Rebel impaled on his bayonet." (Signed.) J. M. LOVEJOY, Company G, 121st New York, South Valley, N. Y. TUB SIXTH ( OKI S. 79 General Russell was killed at the Opequon, and the gallant Hid well at C<nlar Crock. Tin- casualties of the corps at the O|>e<nion aggregated 211 killed, 1,442 wounded, and 40 missing ; total, 1,OM. At Cedar Creek, it lost 208 killed, 1,02S wounded, and 200 missing ; total, 2,120. Its total lossin the Shenandoah campaign, Aug. 22d to Oct. 2<>th. was 4,81 w, out of 12, (515 " present for duty," in August. General Wheaton succeeded to the command of the lamented Russell, while General Truman Seymour was assigned to the command of the Third Division, in place of General Rieketts, who was seriously wounded at Cedar Creek. In Decemher. 1804, the Sixth Corps returned to the Petersburg trenches, built their winter-quarters, and went into position near the Weldon Railroad. On the 2d of April, 1S05, occurred the grand, final, and successful assault on the fortifications of Petersburg, in which the corps was assigned a prominent and important part. Then came the hot pursuit of Ijee s retreating veterans, during which the corps fought at Sailor s Creek. This, the last battle of the Sixth Corps, was marked by the same features which had so largely characterized all its battles, dash, hard fighting some of it with the bayonet, victory, and large captures of men, Hags, guns, and material. The history of the Sixth Corps, more than any other, is replete with fascinating interest. Its record is invested with more of the romance and brillancy of war. There was the successful assault of Marye s Heights ; the briJlant dash into tin* rifle pits at Rappahannock Station ; the deadly hand-to-hand lighting in the gloomy thickets of Spotsylvania ; the breath less interest which attaches to their lone tight at Fort Stevens, where, under the eye of the President, they saved the National Capital from the hand of the invader ; the victories in the Valley, with the dramatic incident at Cedar Creek ; and the crowning success at the storming of Petersburg. Over all these scenes the Greek Cross waved proudly on the banners of the corps, while its veteran legions wrought deeds which linked that badge with an unfading glory and renown. SEVENTH CORPS. (DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA.) DESERTED HOUSE; SIEGE OF SUFFOLK. This corps was organized under General Orders No. 84, War Department, dated July 22, 1802, and was formed from the troops then under command of General .John A. Dix at Foit Monroe, Norfork, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and vicinity. Soon after its organization, its returns showed a strength of 0,574, " present for duty, equipjied," with an aggregate of 1 1,73S, " pre sent and absent. In April, ISC,: ,, it comprised the divisions of Corcoran, Getty, and Gurney, including, also, two brigades which were stationed at Yorktown, under General Keyes, and one brigade at Norfolk, under General Viele ; in all, 52 regiments of infantry, t> batteries of light artillery, and 5 battalions of cavalry. The corps return for March 31, IV-:?, showed an aggregate of 32,741 present and absent, with 24,127 present for duty, equip]>ed. Corcoran s Division was in action, January 30, 1803, in an atfair at Deserted House, Va., in which it lost 23 killed, los wounded, and 12 missing. Both Corcoran s and Getty s Divisions were engaged in the defence of Suffolk, losing 41 killed, 223 wounded, and 2 missing, the principal loss falling on Getty s Division. In July, 1863, the brigade known as the Corcoran Legion was ordered on duty in defences of Washington ; a part of the troops which had been engaged on the Peninsular march of June, 1803, were ordered to join the Army of tlu Pofconric ; other detach in nb made, after which the remaining troops were ordered transferred to the Eighteenth Corps, and the Seventh Corps was discontinued August 1st, 1803. On May 31, 180;^ 80 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. had attained a strength of 32, 397 present for duty, with an aggregate, present and absent, of 43,648. Getty s Division was composed largely of veteran regiments which had served previously in the Ninth Corps. SEVENTH CORPS. (DEPARTMENT OF ARKANSAS.) ARKADELPHIA ; OKALONA ; ELKIN S FORD ; PRAIRIE D ANN ; Moscow; CAMDEN ; POISON SPRINGS ; MARKS MILLS ; JENKINS FERRY. As a result of the juggling with corps numbers by the Washington authorities, there occurs another duplication of titles. This corps was organized Jan. 6, 1864, and was formed by the consolidation of the troops in the Department of Arkansas. The command of the corps was given to Major-General Frederick Steele ; the divisions were commanded by Generals Salomon and Thayer, with a cavalry division attached, under General E. A. Carr. The corps was continued in service until the close of the war. The principal part of its fighting was done in Arkansas while on Steele s Expedition, during which a general engagement occurred at Jenkins Ferry, on the Saline Kiver. In this action the corps lost 64 killed, 378 wounded, and 86 missing ; total, 528. General Samuel A. Eice, commanding the First Brigade of Salomon s (1st) Division, was mortally wounded in this battle. At this time the corps was composed of 17 regiments of infantry, 5 batteries of light artillery, and 10 regiments of cavalry. EIGHTH COEPS. CLOYD S MOUNTAIN ; NEW MARKET ; PIEDMONT ; LYNCHBURG ; MONOCACY; ISLAND FORD ; CARTER S FARM ; MARTINSBURG ; HALLTOWN ; WINCHESTER ; BERRYVILLE ; OPEQUON ; FISHER S HILL ; CEDAR CREEK. These battles, which occurred between May 9th and October 19th, 1864, were fought wholly, or in part, by the Army of West Virginia, which was, for the most part, identical with the forces in the two divisions under General George Crook. These two divisions, by a provisional arrangement, formed a part of the Eighth Corps, and eventually came to be known as the corps itself. The Eighth Corps proper was created by General Orders No. 84, July 22, 1862, which designated the troops under Major-General John E. Wool as the Eighth Corps. These forces were stationed in Maryland, at Annapolis, Baltimore, Harper s Ferry, along the Baltimore & OhioE. E., east of Cumberland, and along the railroad from Harper s Ferry to Winchester, Va. During the summer of 1864, and, also, in Sheridan s campaigns in the Valley, the Eighth Corps was commanded by General George Crook ; the First Division, comprising three brigades, was commanded by Colonel Joseph Tboburn ; the Second Division, containing two brigades, was commanded by Colonel Isaac H. Duval. There were 22 regiments of infantry in the two divisions. Colonel Thoburn was killed at Cedar Creek, the last battle in which the corps participated. Colonel Duval was wounded at Opequon, whereupon Colonel Euther- ford B. Hayes succeeded to the command of Duval s (2d) Division. The field return of troops, dated September 10, 1864, shows that the Army of West Virginia Crook s two divisions - had only 7,507 effective men. At the battle of Winchester, however, July 24, 1864, Crook s command contained three divisions, Sullivan s, Duval s, and Mulligan s. Colonel Mulligan, the hero of Lexington, was killed in that battle, and his division was cut up so badly that it was consolidated into one brigade, which was transferred to the First Division, where it became the Third Brigade (Campbell s) of that division. THE NINTH COUPS. 81 The corps lost about 1,200 men at Winchester ; at tho Opequon it lost 104 killed, 683 wounded, and 7 missing a total of 794 ; at Cedar Creek it lost 48 killed, 270 wounded, and 540 captured, or missing ; total, 858. General Lew. Wallace was assigned to the command of tho Eighth Corps on March 12, 1863, and was in command at the battle of Monocacy, July !, isr.4. But that battle was fought chiefly by Ricketts Division of the Sixth Corps ; tho only troops of the Eighth Corps which were engaged, were some regiments from the Baltimore garrison, organized as the First Separate Brigade of the Eighth Corps, General E. B. Tyler commanding. On July llth, General Ord was assigned to the command of the corps, but on the 28th it WJIH restored to General Wallace. In December, 18(54, the First and Third Brigades of the First Division (Thoburn s) were transferred to the Army of the James, then near Richmond, and were designated as the Independent Division of the Twenty-fourth Corps, General J. W. Turner commanding. The Eighth Corps proper remained in service until August 1, 18G5, when its existence terminated. NINTH CORPS.

A wandering corps, whose dead lie buried in seven states. Although the official order designating its number was not issued until July 22, 181)2, still, the corps organization might properly be considered as dating back to the Burnside expedition to North Carolina, in Feb ruary, 1862, and to the operations about Hilton Head, S. C. ; because, the troops engaged in these movements were the only ones used in the formation of the corps. In July, 1862, two of Burnside s brigades left North Carolina and proceeded to Newport News, Va. ; at the same time, Stevens Division left Hilton Head and repaired to the same place. From these troops, thus assembled, General Burnside organized his famous Ninth Corps on July 22, 1>62, the command consisting of three divisions, under Generals Stevens, Reno, and Parke. After a short stay at Newport News the corps was ordered to ivenforce Pope, and at Manassas it fought its first battle as the Ninth Corps. Only the two divisions of Stevens and Reno were engaged in this action; they numbered 12 regiments and 2 batteries, - than 5,000 men, all told. General Reno was in command of both divisions, Burnsido having been engaged at Fredericksburg in attending to the forwarding of troops. The losses in this small command at Manassas amounted to 904 killed, 1,000 wounded, and 31!) missing ; total. 1,523. Some of the regiments encountered a severe fire, the Twenty-eighth Massachusetts losing 234 men. General Stevens was killed at Chantilly. General Reno retained command of the corps on the Maryland campaign. General side having charge of the right wing of the Army, which was composed of the Firs Ninth Corps. General Willcox was appointed to the command of Stevens while the Second and Third Divisions were commanded, respectively, by Generals Rodman. During this campaign Cox s Kanawha Division was temporarily attached tot corps. The command had also been greatly strengthened by the accession of several n 82 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. regiments, just organized under the recent call for troops, and its four divisions now numbered 29 regiments, and 5 batteries, with 13,819 present for duty, including the non-combatants. The battle of South Mountain was fought wholly by Burnside s two corps, the Ninth Corps losing 157 killed, 691 wounded, and 41 missing ; total, 889. The loss in the First Corps was about the same. General Reno was killed in this action, upon which General Cox suc ceeded to his command. At Antietam the corps lost 438 killed, 1,796 wounded, and 115 missing ; total, 2,349, out of about 8,500 in action. General Rodman was among the mortally wounded. In October, Cox s Division returned to West Virginia, whence it had been with drawn to reenforce Pope, and its brief connection with the corps terminated. This division had made a brilliant record by its gallant services at South Mountain and Antietam. Upon the departure of General Cox the command of the corps fell to General Willcox. General W. W. Burns was appointed to fill the vacancy thus caused in the First Division, and General George W. Getty was placed in command of the Third Division, formerly Rodman s. On November 5, 1862, General Burnside was made commander-in-chief of the Army of the Potomac. At Fredericksburg, the casualty lists indicate that the corps took into action 31 regiments and 5 batteries, with a loss of 111 killed, 1,067 wounded, and 152 missing ; total, 1,330. Not long after this battle General Sedg wick was assigned to the command of the corps, and General Willcox returned to the command of his division, relieving General Burns. On February 5, 1863, Sedgwick was succeeded by General W. F. Smith, and on the 12th the corps was ordered to Newport News, where it was pleasantly encamped for a month. General Smith s stay with the corps was of short duration, for he was succeeded in the following month by General John G. Parke. While at Newport News, Getty s (3d) Division was detached and ordered to Suffolk, N. C., where it was subsequently incorporated in the Seventh Corps. It never rejoined its old command, although, in 1864, one of its regiments, the Fourth Rhode Island, was restored to the Ninth Corps. In the meantime, General Burnside had been assigned to the command of the Department of Ohio, a district which included Kentucky and East Tennessee. He obtained permission for the transfer of his old corps to this field of operations, and, so, on the 19th of March, 1863, General Parke was ordered to proceed there with his two remaining divisions, Willcox s and Sturgis s. Just prior to the departure from Virginia, General Sturgis was relieved, and General Robert B. Potter was assigned to the command of the Second Division. The Ninth Corps was stationed in Kentucky for two months, during which it served as an army of occupation, its pleasant quarters and light duty making it the most enjoyable period within its experience. In June it was ordered to the support of Grant, who was then besieging Vicksburg, and pro ceeding there promptly, it participated in the investment of that place, although not under fire. Upon the surrender of Vicksburg, Parke s two divisions joined the main army in its movement on Jackson, and became engaged in the fighting there, with a loss of 34 killed, 229 wounded, and 28 missing ; total, 291. The First Division was then under command of General Thomas Welsh, General Willcox having been assigned to duty in Indiana. Although the Vicksburg campaign had not cost the corps the bloody tribute exacted in previous campaigns, still it was no less destructive of life, as disease made fearful inroads in the ranks. Among those who succumbed to the deadly malaria of the Vicksburg camps, was General Welsh, who, soon after, went home to die. The corps left Mississippi in August, 1863, and returned to Kentucky, where, after a short rest, it joined in Burnside s advance into East Tennessee, a movement which had already been commenced. The two divisions were now reduced to about 6,000 men. General Parke having been made chief of staff of the Army of the Ohio, General Robert B. Potter succeeded to the command of the corps, with Generals Hartrauf t and Ferrero in command of the two divisions. THE NINTH COUPS. *:i Ferrero s Division had a sharp littlo fight at Blue Springs, Tenn., October 10, 1863, and the whole corps was engaged, November Itith, at Campbell s Station. This was followed by the occupation of Knoxville and the gallant defence against Longstreet s forces, terminating, December 5th, in the defeat and withdrawal of the enemy. The campaign in East Tennessee was a memorable one by reason of the Siege of Knoxville, and the unparalleled privations endured by the men. General \Villcox resumed command of the corps on January 17, 184, relieving General Potter ; on the 2lth, Parke relieved \Villcox, who then took command of the Second Division. General Bnrnside was again assigned to duty as commander of his old corps, which was ordered to repair to Annapolis, Md., for reorganization. In April, the corps was assem bled there, and was comi>osed of the four divisions of Stevenson, Potter, Willcox, and Ferrero, the latter division being composed wholly of colored troops. The corps numbered 19,331, present for duty, with 42 pieces of field artillery ; but this number was soon increased, the return of May 10th showing a strength of 22, 70S. In addition to the four divisions, with their two batteries each, there was a brigade of reserve artillery of (5 batteries, and, also, a provisional brigade of heavy artillerymen and dismounted cavalry. In all, there were 42 regiments of foot, and 14 batteries of light artillery. Ferrero s Colored Division had never been under fire, while many of the white regiments in the corps were newly organized, or had served previously on garrison duty only. In the ranks of the old regiments were many recruits and conscripts. In the battle of the Wilderness the corps lost 240 killed, 1,232 wounded, Ids missing ; total, 1,640; and, at Spotsylvania, 48(J killed, 2, 119 wounded, 459 missing; total, 3,146; the heaviest loss at Spotsylvania occurring in the action of May 12th. General Stevenson was killed at Spotsylvania, May 10th, and Major-General Thomas L. Crittenden, formerly commander of the Twenty-first Corps, was assigned to the command of Stevenson s (1st) Division. During the Wilderness campaign, prior to the battle of the North Anna, the Ninth Corps was not included in the Army of the Potomac, but was a separate, independent command, reporting directly to General Grant. This proved to l>e a faulty arrangement, and, so, General Burnside, with General Parke, his chief -of -staff, waived the question of their superiority of rank over General Meade, in order that the corps might serve under that officer in the Army of the Potomac. At Burnside s suggestion, an order was issued by General Grant, on May 25th, incorporating the Ninth Corps with the main Army. On the 9th of June, while at Cold Harbor, General Crittenden was relieved at his own request, and General Ledlie was placed in command of the First Division. In the first assault on Petersburg, June 17th, the corps made a brilliant attack, Potter s Division gaining possession of the works ; unfortunately, the division was obliged to relinquish its foothold for want of proper support. The corps was engaged in a similar attempt on the following day, the losses in Potter s and Willcox s Divisions being unusually severe in proportion to the number engaged. Loss, 497 killed, 2,232 wounded, and 202 missing ; total, 2,991. The enemy s works proving too strong for assault, the army intrenched itself prepara tory to the ten months siege which followed. On June 19th, Ferrero s (4th) Division of colored troops rejoined the corps, having been absent during the whole of the previous campaign, engaged on duty at the rear. Ferrero s men were now placed in the trenches with three divisions. The part of the line occupied by the Ninth Corps was very near the enemy works, and an incessant firing was kept up during the siege, resulting in a daily loss of mei killed or wounded. While there was a comparative quiet in front of the other corps IK tions, the men of the Ninth were subjected to the terrible strain of a constant watchfulne and deadly exposure. The enemy seemed to l>e excited to an undue activity by the present of Ferrero s Colored Division. S-i REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. The Ninth Corps was prominently connected with the siege, by reason of the immense mine which was dug from within and in front of its line. This mine, which was excavated by the 48th Pennsylvania, of Potter s Division, was successfully exploded, but the assault Avhich followed was a failure. During this assault Ferrero s colored regiments went into action and fought well, acquitting themselves creditably ; their failure, like that of the white regiments in this affair, resulted from causes outside of the regiments themselves. The loss in the Ninth Corps at the mine, was 473 killed, 1,646 wounded, 1,356 missing ; total, 3,475. Immediately after this engagement, General Ledlie was relieved from command of the First Division, and General Julius White, of the Twenty-third Corps, was assigned to Ledlie s place. On the 13th of August, 1864, General Burnside was granted a leave of absence ; he never rejoined the corps, but was succeeded by General Parke, who remained in command until the close of the war. At the battle of the Weldon Railroad, August 19-21, 1864, the three divis ions of White, Potter, and Willcox were engaged with considerable loss, although the three combined numbered less than 6,000 muskets ; casualties, 60 killed, 315 wounded, and 218 missing. By this time the divisions had become so reduced in numbers that a reorganization of the corps became necessary, and so the regiments in White s Division were transferred to the divisions of Potter and Willcox. Under this arrangement Willcox s Division was num bered as the First ; Potter s, as the Second ; Ferrero s colored troops were designated as the Third Division. But, in December, Ferrero s Division was permanently detached, and most of his regiments were transferred to the newly-organized Twenty-fifth Corps, which was composed entirely of colored troops. General Ferrero, himself, was assigned to a provisional command at Bermuda Hundred. The vacancy caused by detaching Ferrero s Division was filled by six new regiments of Pennsylvanians one-year men organized into a division of two brigades, the command of which was given to General John F. Hartranft. This division rendered gallant service at Fort Stedman, and Hartranft added to his laurels by the ability displayed at that critical juncture. The morning report for March 31, 1865, showed a corps strength of 18,153, "present for duty, equipped," and 36 pieces of light artillery. With this force the Ninth Corps entered upon the final campaign, taking a prominent part in the storming of Petersburg, April 2, 1865, which resulted in the evacuation of Richmond and the downfall of the Confederacy. The corps was not only among the foremost in this brilliant assault, but its flags were the first to wave over the public buildings of Petersburg. This was the last battle in which the corps participated, and on July 27, 1865, the existence of the Ninth Corps was officially terminated. TENTH CORPS. JAMES ISLAND ; POCOTALIGO ; MORRIS ISLAND ; FORT WAGNER ; OLUSTEE ; WALTHALL JUNCTION ; CHESTER STATION ; PROCTOR S CREEK ; DREWRY S BLUFF ; COLD HARBOR ; BER MUDA HUNDRED ; WARE BOTTOM CHURCH ; PETERSBURG ; STRAWBERRY PLAINS ; DEEP BOT TOM ; CHAFFIN S FARM ; NEW MARKET ROAD ; DARBYTOWN ROAD ; CHARLES CITY ROAD ; FAIR OAKS (1864); FORT FISHER; SUGAR LOAF BATTERY ; FORT ANDERSON; WILMINGTON. Organized under General Orders No. 123, September 3, 1862, which designated the forces in the Department of the South as the Tenth Army Corps, and assigned Major-General 0. M. Mitchelto its command. These troops were stationed principally at Hilton Head, S. C., and Beaufort, S. C., the order including also the troops at Fort Pulaski, Ga., Key West, Fla., Femandina, Fla., and St. Augustine, Fla. ; in all, 14,602, present and absent, with 10,190 THK TKNTII (. OKI S. 85 pi-csent for duty. There were 14 regiments of infantry, 1 of engineei-s, a battalion of cavalry, and the usual compliment of light batteries. General Mitchel died, October 30, 1802, and was succeeded by General J. M. Brannun. In January, 1863, General David Hunter relieved Brannnn, and assumed command of the department; Hunter was relieved on June 3, 1803, and General Quiney A. Gillmore was assigned to the command of the corps. The total, present for duty, in June, 1803, was 10*3:2!), including artillery and cavalry. The troops at Hilton Head were commanded by General Alfred H. Terry ; those on Folly Island, by General Israel Vogdes ; those at Beaufort, by General Rufus Saxton ; at Seabrook Island, by General T. J. Stevenson ; at St. Helena Island, by Colonel H. R. Guss. These forces were all under General Gillmore, and participated in the various operations about Charleston Harbor in the summer of 1803, the principal event being the bloody assault on Fort Wagner, July 18, 1803. This assault was made by a column of three brigades, - Strong s, Putnam s, and Stevenson s, the whole undor command of General Truman H. Sey mour. General Strong s brigade led the assault, with the 54th Massachusetts (Colored) at the head of his column. The attack was a failure, resulting in a loss of 240 killed, 880 wounded, and 389 missing ; total, 1,51"). The most of the missing were killed or wounded, but few of them ever returning. To this loss should be added 330 casualties, which occurred in an attack on Fort Wagner, July llth, a week before, an attempt made by three regiments only. Two of the three brigade commanders, General Strong and Colonel Putnam, were killed in the assault of the 18th, Putnam falling after he had effected an entrance into the fort. Steven son s Brigade was held mainly in reserve. In February, 1804, Seymour s Division, of about 7,000 men, sailed for Florida, where it was engaged on the 20th in the battle of Olustee, a defeat in which some of the regiments suffered terribly. In April, 1804, the Tenth Corps was ordered to Virginia, where it was placed in General Butler s Army of the James, which was composed of the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps. The Tenth assembled at Yorktown, Va., where it was organized into the three divisions of Terry, Turner, and Ames, numbering, as present for duty, 10,812 infantry, and 1,114 artillerymen, with 40 guns. The Army of the James landed at Bermuda Hundred, May 0, 1804, and a month of active service and bard fighting immediately commenced, the Tenth Corps losing in its operations around Drewry s Bluff, 374 killed, 2,475 wounded, and 8o7 missing ; total, 3,050. Butler s operations resulting in nothing but failures, General Grant ordered the greater part of his forces to the support of the Army of the Potomac. Accordingly, on the 2ith of May, General W. F. Smith, commanding the Eighteenth Corps, took the First (Brooks ) and Second (Martin- dale s) Divisions of his own corps, and the Second (Devens ) and Third (Ames ) Divisions of the Tenth Corps, and proceeded to Cold Harbor, where these divisions cooperated with the Army of the Potomac in the terrible fight ing which commenced immediately upon their arrival . While at Cold Harbor, these two divisions of the Tenth Corps were known as part of the Eighteenth Corps, forming the Third Division, under command of General Devens. Upon the close of the fighting at Cold Harbor, the two divisions returned by water transports to Bermuda Hundred, but consolidated as the Second Division. Tenth A. ( . On the 14th of August, the Tenth Corps, under command of General David B. Birney, crossed the James and became engaged with the enemy at Deep Bottom, General Terry t division taking a prominent part in this action. The casualties in the corps were : 213 killed, 1,154 wounded, 311 missing ; total, 1,078. On Septemlier 2!>th, Birney crossed again with his corps, and fought at Chaffin s Farm, his command consisting of Terry s and Ames divisions, together with a brigade of colored troops, under General William Birney. Loss : 74 killed, 587 wounded, 302 missing ; total, 003.

Newmarket heights, these colored troops displayed great gallantry. General David B. Birney died at Philadelphia, October 18, 1861, and was succeeded by General Terry, who was in command of the corps during the fighting on the Darbytown Eoad, and at the battle of Fair Oaks, October 27, 1864. On December 3, 1864, the corps was discontinued, and its regiments were assigned to the newly formed Twenty-fourth Corps, which was composed of the white troops from the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps. But immediately after this transfer, Ames Division, together with Abbott s Brigade of this new corps, were detached and ordered on the Fort Fisher expedition. After the brilliant capture of Fort Fisher by these troops, they remained in North Carolina, and, in March, 1865, the Tenth Corps was revived. As reorganized, it consisted of Birge s (1st) Division, composed of three brigades taken from Grover s Division of the Nineteenth Corps, then stationed at Savannah ; of Ames (2nd) Division, composed of the troops which fought at Fort Fisher ; of Paine s (3d) Division, colored troops ; and of Abbott s Separate Brigade, numbering in all 12,099 men. General Terry, who was in command at the victory of Fort Fisher, was placed at the head of the corps. But the war was then near its close, and in August, 1865, the organization was discontinued. ELEVENTH CORPS. MCDOWELL ; CROSS KEYS ; CEDAR MOUNTAIN ; FREEMAN S FORD ; SULPHUR SPRINGS ; MANASSAS ; CHANCELLORSVILLE ; GETTYSBURG ; WAUHATCHIE ; LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN ; MIS SIONARY RIDGE. On June 26, 1862, President Lincoln ordered that "the troops of the Mountain Depart ment, heretofore under command of General Fremont, shall constitute the First Army Corps, under the command of General Fremont." The corps thus formed was, for the most part, the same as the one afterwards known as the Eleventh Corps, and within a short time it was officially designated as such. This order of President Lincoln was included in the one con stituting Pope s Army of Virginia, which was formed from the three commands of Fremont, Banks, and McDowell. Fremont s troops had seen considerable service in Western Virginia, having done some hard fighting at McDowell, and at Cross Keys. General Franz Sigel succeeded to Fremont s command on June 29, 1862, and was in command at Manassas, where the corps encountered more hard fighting, losing 295 killed, 1,361 wounded, and 431 missing ; total, 2,087. At this time the three divisions were commanded by Generals Scheiick, Von Stein wehr, and Schurz ; there was, also, an independent brigade attached, under command of General Milroy. By General Orders No. 129, September 12, 1862, its designation was changed to that of the Eleventh, a necessary change, as McDowell s command had resumed its original title of the First Army Corps. During General McClellaii s Maryland campaign, and during the" fall of 1862, the Eleventh Corps remained in Northern Virginia, in front of Washington, occupy ing various important outposts in the vicinity of Centreville. In December, it marched to Fredericksburg in support of Burnside, but was not present at the battle, after which it went into winter-quarters at Stafford, Va. General Sigel having asked to be relieved, General 0. 0. Howard was appointed in his place. General Howard commanded the corps at Chancellorsville, May 1-3, 1863, at which time it numbered 12,169 effectives, and was composed of the divisions of Generals Deveiis, Von Stein wehr, and Schurz. It contained 27 regiments of infantry, of which 13 were German regiments. The men of the Eleventh Corps were good soldiers, for the most part tried and veteran troops, and were in no way responsible for the disaster which befell them at Chan cellorsville. Their commander in that battle allowed himself to be surprised. He was not TllK TWELFTH C OKI S. S7 only surprised, but he had made a very faulty disposition of his troops. The men were not only attacked without a warning shot, but were taken at a terrible disadvantage. Anything beyond a brief resistance was impossible, and they were obliged to abandon their |>ositicm as any other corps must have done under the same circumstances. Still, some of the brigades changed front under the attack, and made a gallant resistance for over an hour, seriously retarding the enemy s onset, after which they retired slowly and in good order. The loss of the corps at Chancellorsville was 217 killed, 1,218 wounded, and 1)72 captured or missing ; total, 2,407. At Gettysburg the corps was still under the command of Howard; the divisions were under Generals Barlow, Stein web r, and Schurx, and contained 26 regiments of infantry and 5 batteries. It was engaged, in company with the First Corps, in the battle of the first day, and, on the second day, it participated in the gallant defence of Cemetery Hill. On the day before the battle of Gettysburg, the corps reported 1<>,576 officers and men for duty; its loss in that battle was 368 killed, l,l>22 wounded, and 1,511 captured or missing; total, 3,801, out of less than 0,000 engaged. It accompanied the Army on the return to Virginia after Gettysburg, and, on August 7th, the First Division (Schimmelfennig s) was permanently detached, having lxen ordered to Charleston Harbor. On the 24th of September, the Second and Third divisions (Stein- wehr s and Schurz ) were ordered to Tennessee, together with the Twelfth Corps. These two corps, numbering over 20,000 men, were transported, within a week, over 1,200 miles, and placed on the banks of the Tennessee River, at Bridgeport, without an accident or deten tion. During the following month, on October 2Sth, Howard s two divisions were ordered to the support of the Twelfth Corps, in the midnight battle at Wauhatchie, Tenn. Arriving there, Smith s Brigade of Steinwehr s Division charged up a steep hill in the face of the enemy, receiving but not returning the fire, and drove Longstreet s veterans out of their Entrenchments, using the bayonet alone. Some of the regiments in this affair suffered a severe loss, but their extraordinary gallantry won extravagant expressions of praise from various generals, high in rank, including General Grant. A part of the Eleventh Corps was also actively engaged at Missionary Ridge, where it cooperated with Sherman s forces on the left. After this battle it was ordered to East Tennessee for the relief of Knoxville, a cam paign whose hardships and privations exceeded anything within the previous experience of the command. In April, 1864, the two divisions of the Eleventh Corps were broken up .and transferred to the newly-formed Twentieth Corps. General Howard was transferred to the command of the Fourth Corps, and, subsequently, was honored by a promotion to the command of the Army of the Tennessee. TWELFTH CORPS.

The corps that never lost a color or a gun. When its designation was changed to the Twentieth, it still preserved unbroken the same grand record. The veteran divisions of Williams and Geary wore their star-badges through all the bloody battles of the Atlanta campaign and the Carolinas, and still kept their proud claim good, marching northward to the grand review with the same banners that had waved at Antietam and Lookout 88 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. Mountain ; -with the same cannon which had thundered on the battle-fields of seven states. None were missing.. The organization of the Twelfth Corps may be considered as dating from the General Order of March 13, 1862, under which the corps formation of the Army of the Potomac was first created. By that order, five different corps were constituted, one of which, composed of the divisions of Williams and Shields, and commanded by General Banks, was designated as the Fifth. These divisions were then operating in the Shenandoah Valley. On the 26th of June, the President ordered that "the troops of the Shenandoah Department, now under General Banks, shall constitute the Second Army Corps" of the Army of Virginia. On September 12th, General Order 129, it was ordered that its designation be changed to that of the Twelfth Corps, and that General Joseph K. Mansfield be placed in command. In the meantime the corps had done considerable hard fighting under its former title. Shields Division won a brilliant victory over Stonewall Jackson at Kernstown, Va. , on the 23d of March, and Williams Division fought well at Winchester, May 25th, while oil Banks retreat. The battle of Cedar Mountain was also fought by this corps, alone and unassisted ; and, although defeated by the overwhelming force of the enemy, the record shows that the two divisions did there some of the best fighting of the War. In that battle the divisions were commanded by Generals Williams and Augur ; loss, 302 killed, 1,320 wounded, and 594 missing ; total, 2,216, out of less than 6,000 engaged. This loss fell on four brigades, Craw ford s Brigade losing 867 men out of 1679, reported by Crawford as "present in engagement." At Manassas the corps was held in reserve. It participated in the Antietam campaign under its proper designation, as the Twelfth Corps, with the veteran Mansfield in command. Its division and brigade organization was the same as at Cedar Mountain ; General George S. Greene had succeeded General Augur in the command of the Second Division. Its depleted columns had been strengthened by the accession of five new regiments of volunteers, fresh from the North, three of which were composed of Pennsylvanians, enlisted for nine mouths only. The corps now numbered 12,300 present for duty, including the non-combatants ; it contained 22 regiments of infantry, and 3 batteries of light artillery. It was the smallest corps in the Army. It was not engaged at South Mountain, although it marched thither in plain view of the battle which was raging on the mountain s side, ahead of its dusty columns. At Antietam, it entered the fight early in the morning, and carried a position near, and in front of, the Dunker Church. General Mansfield fell, mortally wounded, while deploying his columns, and the command of the corps during the battle devolved on General Williams. The two divisions lost in this battle, 275 killed, 1,386 wounded, and 85 missing ; total, 1,746, out of about 8,000 present in action. The vacancy caused by the death of General Mansfield was filled by the appointment of Major-General Henry W. Slocum, a division general of the Sixth Corps, who had already achieved a brilliant reputation by his services on the Peninsula, and at the successful storming of Crampton s Gap. The Twelfth Corps remained in the vicinity of Harper s Ferry until December, when it moved into Virginia, and made its winter-quarters at Stafford Court House. The brunt of the battle of Chancellorsville fell on the Third and Twelfth Corps ; and yet amid all the rout and confusion of that disastrous battle the regiments of the Twelfth Corps moved steadily with unbroken fronts, retiring at the close of the battle without the loss of a color, while the corps artillery, after having been engaged in the close fighting at the Chan cellor House, withdrew in good order, taking every gun with them. In this campaign Slocum s troops were the first to cross the Rapidan, and the last to re-cross the Rappahannock. The corps at this time contained 30 regiments of infantry, with 5 batteries of light artillery, numbering in all 12,929 present for duty, Its losses at Chancellorsville amounted to 260 THK TWELFTH COUPS. -: killed, MM wounded, and 1,118 missing; total, 2,814. The hardest fighting and heaviest losses fell on Ruger s and Candy s brigades. The divisions were commanded by Generals Williams and Geary. At Gettysburg, the Twelfth Corps distinguished itself by its gallant defence of Culp s Hill. At one time during the battle, the corps having been ordered to reenforee a distant part of the line, Greene s Brigade, of Geary s Division, was left behind to hold this important point. While occupying this position on Culp s Hill, with no other troops in support, Greene was attacked by Johnson s Division, but the attack was successfully repulsed. The details of this particular action form an interesting chapter in the history of the war. Still, some of Johnson s troops effected, without opposition, a lodgment in the vacated breastworks of the Twelfth Corps, and upon the return of those troops a desperate battle ensued to drive tho Confederates out. After a long, hard tight the corps succeeded in re-occupying its works. On no part of the field did the Confederate dead lie thicker than in front of the Twelfth Corps position. Johnson s Division, containing 22 regiments, lost in this particular action, 221 killed, 1,269 wounded, and 375 missing ; total, 1,873.* To this must be added whatever loss occurred in Smith s, Daniel s, and O Xeil s brigade, containing 14 regiments, which were sent to Johnson s support. The Twelfth Corps, containing 28 regiments, lost 204 killed, 810 wounded, and G7 missing ; total, 1,081. General Slocum was in command of the right wing at Gettys burg, which left General A. S. Williams, of the First Division, in command of the corps ; General Thos. H. Ruger of the Third Brigade, First Division, took Williams place as com mander of the "Red Star* Division ; -General Geary commanded the "White Star," or Second Division. The Army followed Lee into Virginia, the Twelfth Corps joining in the pursuit, and pushing forward until it reached the Rappahannock. While encamped there, on the 23d of September, 1863, the Eleventh and Twelfth corps were detached from the Army of the Potomac and ordered to Tennessee as a reinforcement for Rosecrans. The two corps were placed under command of General Hooker. Arriving in Tennessee, Geary s Division moved to the front, while Williams Division was stationed along the railroad from Murfreesboro to Biidgeport. Geary pushed on in order to effect a junction with the beleaguered army at Chattanooga. On the night of Oct. 27th, his division, the " White Stars," bivouacked in Look out Valley, in an advanced and isolated position, where he was attacked at midnight by a part of Longstreet s command. But Geary had taken proper precautions against surprise, and the enemy were defeated, Geary receiving in this affair a prompt and gallant support from part of the Eleventh Corps. General Thomas, commanding the Army of the Cumber land, stated in his official report that "the repulse by Geary s Division of greatly superior numbers who attempted to surprise him, will rank among the most distinguished feats of arms of this war." The midnight battle of Wauhatchie was followed in the next month by the brilliant victory at Lookout Mountain, where the " White Star" Division fought its famous battle above the clouds. Geary was assisted in this engagement by Whitaker s Brigade, of the Fourth Corps, one of Whitaker s regiments, the Eighth Kentucky, being the first to plant its flag on the summit of the mountain. In April, 1804, the designation of the corps was changed to that of the Twentieth. Generals Williams and Geary still retained command of their divisions, and the men still wore their Twelfth Corps badge. This badge (the star) was adopted by the reorganized corps. The new organization was formed by the consolidation of the Eleventh and Twelfth corps, to which was added some minor commands.

(Official Keport.) 90 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. striking out the Twelfth Corps number was stupid, unnecessary, and unjust. If done out of consideration for the Eleventh, it was a mistake ; for the men of that corps expressed themselves freely that, their own divisions having been broken up, they would have gladly taken the Twelfth Corps title as well as its honored badge. They knew that corps ; they had fought by its side. They knew nothing of the Twentieth. Upon the discontinuance of the Twelfth Corps, General Slocum was assigned to the command of the District of Vicksburg, but resumed the corps command of the Twentieth Corps during the Atlanta campaign, General Hooker having been relieved. Slocum after wards commanded the Army of Georgia while on the March to the Sea, and in the battles of the Carolinas. He was, pre-eminently, one of the ablest generals of the war ; he made no mistakes ; wherever he was in command, everything went well. His troops had unbounded confidence in his ability, and always went into action with perfect confidence ; they felt that with him, there would be no surprise, no rout, no defeat. The Twelfth Corps was small, but was composed of excellent material. Among its regiments were the Second Massachusetts, Seventh Ohio, Fifth Connecticut, One Hundred and Seventh New York, Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, Third Wisconsin, and others equally famous as crack regiments ; all of them with names familiar as household words in the communities from which they were recruited. THIRTEENTH CORPS. CHICK AS AW BLUFFS ; ARKANSAS POST ; PORT GIBSON (MAGNOLIA HILLS) ; CHAMPION S HILL ; BIG BLACK RIVER BRIDGE ; VICKSBURG ASSAULT, MAY 19TH ; VICKSBURG ASSAULT, MAY 22ND ; SIEGE OF VICKSBURG ; SIEGE OF JACKSON ; HELENA ; GRAND COTEAU ; CANE RIVER ; CLOUTIERSVILLE ; SABINE CROSS ROADS ; SPANISH FORT ; FORT BLAKELY. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth corps were the first ones organized in the Western armies. They were created on the same date, October 24, 1862, by General Order No. 108, War Depart ment, which ordered that "the troops under the command of Major-General Grant will constitute the Thirteenth Army Corps." As these troops included the whole Army of the Tennessee, it became necessary to subdivide the corps, which was done December 18, 1862, and four organizations, the Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth corps were accord ingly formed, with General John A. McClernand in command of the Thirteenth. In the meantime, General Sherman, with a portion of the Thirteenth Corps, the right wing, embarked at Memphis 011 the Yazoo Expedition, during w^hich he made an unsuccessful assault on the outer works of Vicksburg, at Chickasa vv Bluffs. Loss, 208 killed, 1, 005 wounded, and 563 missing; total, 1,776, out of 33 regiments engaged. The forces consisted of the divisions of Generals A. J. Smith, Morgan L. Smith, George W. Morgan, and Frederick Steele, numbering 30,075 men. The regiments, with a few exceptions, were under fire for the first time. There was some close fighting done; "the flag of the Sixteenth Ohio was shot to tatters, only shreds remaining on the staff ; and the flag of the Twenty-second Kentucky was scarcely less torn, and not less dripping with blood." - [Official Report.] In January, McClernand moved on an expedition against Arkansas Post, taking with him the Thirteenth and Fifteenth corps. He styled his forces, "the Army of the Mississippi," and designated them as the First and Second corps of the same. He placed General Morgan in temporary command of his own corps - - the Thirteenth ; General Sherman was in command of the Fifteenth. The Confederate works at Arkansas Post were carried by storm, the losses in the Thirteenth Corps amounting to 48 killed, 307 wounded, and 18 missing ; total, 463, the bulk of which fell on Burbridge s Brigade of A. J. Smith s Division. Only two divisions THF, THIKTKKXTH CORPS. 91 of the Thirteenth Corps A. J. Smith s and Osterhaus -- participated in this expedition. Upon the opening of the campaign against Vicksburg, May 1, 1863, the Thirteenth Corps was composed of the four divisions of Osterhans, A. J. Smith, Hovey, and Carr ; these were also known, respectively, as the Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, and Fourteenth Divisions, having l>een numbered thus while in the Army of the Tennessee. The corps, as thus comjiosed, con tained 40 regiments of infantry, 1 1 hatteries of light artillery, and 6 companies of cavalry ; numbering in all 32,648, present and absent, with is, 245 present for duty. To this should he added Ross s (13th) Division, stationed in Arkansas, which also belonged to the Thirteenth Corps, but which did not take part in the Vicksburg campaign. This division fought the battle of Helena, Ark , July 4, 1863. The battle of Port Gibson, May 1, 1863, was fought almost entirely by the Thirteenth Corps, its losses in that action aggregating 1*25 killed, 07* wounded, and 23 missing ; total, 826. The battle of Champion s Hill was fought by the Thirteenth and Seventeenth Corps, the former losing 231 killed, 987 wounded, and 145 missing; total, 1,363. The fighting at the Big Black River Bridge was a brilliant affair, in which the Thirteenth Corps alone par ticipated ; loss, 3D killed, 237 wounded, and 3 missing ; total, 270, the bulk of which occurred in Lawler s Brigade of Carr s Division. In the first assault on Vicksburg, May 19th, the corps sustained a slight loss only; but in the grand assault of May 22d it suffered severely, losing 202 killed, 1,004 wounded, and 60 missing; total, 1,275. During the first twenty-two days of the Vicksburg campaign, the corps lost 3,893 men in action, which was supplemented during the siege by heavy losses in the trenches. General McClernand was relieved from command on June 10th, by order of General Grant, and General E. O. Ord was appointed in his place. Grant was displeased with the tone and character of a congratulatory order issued by McClernand to his troops, and as McClernand declined to amend it he was relieved. After tho capitulation of Vicksburg the Thirteenth Corps, under General Ord, moved with the Army to Jackson, Miss., and assisted in the investment of that place. Carr s Division at this time was commanded by General William P. Benton. In the operations about Jackson tin; corps lost 85 killed, 501 wounded, and 165 missing: total, 751. This includes the loss in Lauman s Division, of the Sixteenth Corps, which was temporarily attached to the Thirteenth. Upon the evacuation of Jackson and retreat of the enemy, the corps returned to Vicksburg, and in the following month (August, 1863) moved on transports down the Mississippi to New Orleans. The troops were assigned to duty at various places in the Department of the Gulf, -in Texas and Louisiana. General Osterhaus was succeeded in command of his division by General C. C. Washburn. The Third and Fourth Divisions fought at Grand Coteau, La., November 3, 1863. The winter of 1863-4 was spent in the vicinity of New Orleans and the Lower Mississippi, a part of the corps being stationed in Texas. Corps headquarters were in Texas, but were moved to Alexandria, La., on the 18th of April, as the Third and Fourth Divisions had accompanied Banks on his Red River Expedition of April, 1864. General McClernand was again in command of the corps ; the Third Division was commanded by General Cameron, and the Fourth, by General Landram. Tho First and Second Divisions remained in Texas during the Red River Expedition, excepting Lawler s (2d) Brigade, of the First Division, which joined Banks Army about the 20th of April. The Third and Fourth Divisions of the Thirteenth Corps were actively engaged at the battle of Sabine Cross Roads, La., April 8, 1864, in which they sustained considerable loss. They were also engaged at Cane River, and at Clout iersville, La. The corps organization was discontinued, June 11, 1SU4, and the troops transferred to other commands. It was reorganized, Feb. 18, 1865, and Major-General Gordon Granger, of Chickamauga fame, was placed in command ; the divisions were commanded by Generals 92 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. Veatch, Andrews, and Benton. The corps proceeded to Mobile, and it participated in the investment of that city, and in the storming of Fort Blakely, April 9, 1865, which was the last general engagement of the war. The Thirteenth Corps then moved to Selma, Ala., and thence to Galveston, Texas. Its existence terminated officially on the 20th of July, 1865. The men of the Thirteenth never wore any corps badge ; neither was there any badge designated in official orders for their use. FOURTEENTH CORPS.

The Fourteenth Corps was constituted under General Orders No. 168, Oct. 24, 1862, which directed that the troops in the Army of the Cumberland should be designated as the Fourteenth Corps, and that General Rosecrans be placed in command. These forces had hitherto been styled the Army of the Ohio, and had been under the command of General Buell. It had fought under him at Shiloh, and at Chaplin Hills, the latter battle occurring October 8th, just prior to the order designating this army as the Fourteenth Corps. At the time of the battle of Chaplin Hills, the Army of the Ohio had been divided, by order of Gen eral Buell, into the First, Second, and Third Corps, commanded respectively by Major- Gener als McCook, Crittenden and Gilbert. Its losses at Chaplin Hills or Perry ville aggregated 845 killed, 2,851 wounded, and 515 missing ; total, 4.211. Over three-fourths of these casual ties occurred in McCook s Corps, the loss in some of his regiments being unusually large. The Fourteenth Corps, at the time when it was first designated as such, embraced twelve divisions, containing 155 regiments of infantry, 1 regiment of engineers, 35 batteries of light artillery, and 6 regiments of cavalry. There are no returns showing its numerical strength at this time ; but, a return in December, 1862, shows an aggregate of 123,402, present and absent, with 66,T95 present for duty.* Like the Thirteenth Corps, which was also constituted by General Order 168, the Four teenth embraced an entire army ; and hence, like the Thirteenth, some further subdivision became necessary. On November 7th, General Rosecrans ordered that the corps be divided into the right wing, centre, and left wing, to the command of which Major-Generals McCook, Thomas, and Crittendeii were respectively assigned. The centre contained five divisions, while the right and left wings contained three divisions each. Three of the centre divisions were detached by General Rosecrans to protect his line of communications, and so the Four teenth Corps took 8 divisions into action at Stone s River. The centre, under Thomas, was composed of Rousseau s and Negley s Divisions ; the right wing, under McCook, of Davis , Johnson s, and Sheridan s Divisions ; the left wing, under Crittenden, of Wood s, Palmer s, and Van Cleve s Divisions. Walker s Brigade of the Third Division, centre, was also present at Stone s River. These troops numbered 43,400 present for duty ; the loss in that battle amounted to 1,730 killed, 7,802 wounded, and 3,717 captured or missing ; total, 13,249. Over 25 per cent, were killed or wounded. By authority of the War Department General Order No. 9 January 9, 1863, the right wing, centre, and left wing of the Fourteenth Corps were designated respectively as the Twentieth, Fourteenth and Twenty-first Army Corps, the commanding officers remaining *Official Records, Vol. xx, Part ii, p. 285. THE FOURTEENTH COKPS. 03 unchanged. As before, these three corps constituted the Army of the Cumberland. From this time on, the history of the Fourteenth Corps is limited to the movements of the particular divisions under command of General Thomas. After the battle of Stone s River, Rosecrans advanced his army to Murfreesboro, and encamped there. On June 23, 1803, orders were issued for another advance, during which the Fourteenth Corps was engaged in the fighting at Hoover s Gap, June 24 - 25. It was then composed of the four divisions of Rousseau, Negley, Brannan, and Reynolds. Its losses at Hoover s Gap amounted to 27 killed, 177 wounded, and 2 missing; total, 200. Pushing on across the Cumberland Mountains in pursuit of Bragg, the Fourteenth was next engaged at Chickamauga. General Baird had succeeded Rousseau in command of the First Division. The four divisions then contained 51 regiments of infantry, and 12 batteries of light artillery. In the First Division was the Brigade of Regulars which had distinguished itself by its gallantry and good fighting at Stone s River. The Fourteenth Corps numl>ered 19,920 at Chickamauga ; it lost there 004 killed, 3,555 wounded, and 1,1)25 missing ; total, 0,144. In pursuance of an order from the President, dated Sept. 2S, 1803, the Army of the Cumberland was reorganized. General Thomas succeeded Rosecrans, and Major-General John M. Palmer was placed in command of the Fourteenth Corps. Under this reorganization the corps contained three divisions, Johnson s, Davis and Baird s, and each division con tained three brigades. Some of the brigades contained nine regiments ; but the regiments were small, and many of them sadly depleted. The corps roster on Oct. 20, 1803, showed 04 regiments of infantry, and 9 batteries of light artillery. The corps fought at Missionary Ridge, Nov. 25, 1803, where it lost 140 killed, 787 wounded, and 14 missing; total, 941. In February, 18(54, it was engaged in a sharp reconnoissance at Dalton, Ga. On May 5, 1804, it moved with Sherman s Army on the advance which was to culminate in the possession of Atlanta. The Fourteenth Corps took part in the opening battle of this campaign at Resaca, and was prominently engaged in the final victory at Jonesboro. During the intervening four months it was actively engaged in the continuous marching and fighting which was so characteristic of that brilliant campaign. In August, while on the Atlanta campaign, General Palmer, the corps commander, was relieved upon his own request, and General Jefferson C. Davis, the commander of the Second Division, was appointed by the President to take Palmer s place. General James D. Morgan succeeded to the command of the Second Division. During the four months of the Atlanta campaign, the Army of the Cumberland --then composed of the Fourth, Fourteenth and Twentieth Corps-- lost 3,041 killed, 15,783 wounded, and 2,7o7 missing ; total, 21,531. Of these casualties fully one-third occurred in the Fourteenth Corps. To this total must be added the heavy losses of the Army of the Tennessee, and the Army of the Ohio, in order to understand the extent of the fight ing while on that campaign. After a short rest at Atlanta, and a short campaign in pursuit of Hood, the Fourteenth Corps moved with Sherman s Army, Nov. 15, 1804, on its march to the sea, the three divis ions of the corps being under command of Generals Carlin, Morgan and Baird, and num bering 13,902 present for duty. The march through Georgia to the sea was an uneventful one, and no fighting occurred. Savannah was occupied Deceml>er 20th, and in February, 1805, Sherman started on his march through the Carolinas. The Fourteenth Corps, together with the Twentieth, formed the Army of Georgia, General Slocum commanding both corps. On entering the Carolina campaign, February 1, 1805, the Fourteenth reported its strength at 14, 420, infantry and artillery, and contained 47 regiments of infantry, with 4 batteries of light artillery. The battle of Bentonville, N. C., occurred March 19, 1805, while on this campaign. It was a hard fought battle, in which the divisions of Carlin and Morgan, assisted by two brigades from Williams (Twentieth) Corps, did most all the fighting. This was the last hat- 94 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL tie in which the corps participated, and the veteran columns marched gayly on to the final review at Washington. The organization was ordered discontinued August 1, 1865. FIFTEENTH CORPS.

The Fifteenth Corps was one of the organizations resulting from the partition of the Thirteenth Corps, December 18, 1862. General William T. Sherman was assigned to its command. Part of the Fifteenth Corps the divisions of Generals Steele and Morgan L. Smith, together with other troops were engaged under Sherman at Chickasaw Bluffs in the first attempt on Vicksburg. These two divisions lost in that action, 144 killed, 579 wounded, and 189 missing ; total, 912. The entire loss of the Army at Chickasaw Bluffs was 1,776. A few day slater these two divisions accompanied McClernand s expedition to Arkansas Post, a successful affair which resulted in the capture of that place. General Sherman was present with these two divisions of his corps ; General M. L. Smith having been severely wounded at Chickasaw Bluffs, his division was commanded at Arkansas Post by General David Stuart. The loss of the Fifteenth Corps in this affair was 86 killed, 501 wounded, and 11 missing ; total, 598. The loss of the entire Army was 1,001. During the spring of 1863 the corps participated in the Bayou expeditions about Vicks burg, preceding the campaign in the rear of that city. On that campaign the corps was composed of the three divisions of Steele, Blair, and Tuttle, numbered respectively as the First, Second, and Third Divisions ; they were previously known as the Eleventh, Fifth, and Eighth, of the Army of the Tennessee. These three divisions contained 41 regiments of infantry, 7 batteries of light artillery (36 guns), and 5 companies of cavalry, numbering in all, 15,975 present for duty, out of 19,238 present in the aggregate. Present and absent, it numbered 27,416 men. Of the series of battles in the rear of Vicksburg, the battle of Jackson, May 14, was the only one in which the Fifteenth Corps took part. In that action Tuttle s Division was slightly engaged, losing 6 killed, 22 wounded, and 4 missing. The corps was engaged, next, in the investment of Vicksburg. In the assault of May 19th, it lost 134 killed, 571 wounded, and 8 missing ; total, 713. In this assault the Fifteenth sustained the principal loss, the total of the casualties amounting to 942. In the general assault which occured three days later - - May 22d--the corps lost 150 killed, 666 wounded, and 42 missing ; total, 858. After the surren der of Vicksburg, the Army moved on Jackson and invested, that place, the corps losing- there, July 10-1 6th, 10 killed, 32 wounded, and 38 missing. During the latter movement the First Division was commanded by General John M. Thayer. After the evacuation of Jackson by the enemy, the Army returned to Vicksburg and its vicinity, the Fifteenth Corps encamping there until the latter part of September, when it moved to Memphis. The Third Division (Tuttle s) was left behind at Vicksburg, and it never rejoined the corps. Its place was taken by John E. Smith s Division (formerly Quinby s), Seventeenth Corps, which joined at Memphis and remained permanently attached, as the Third Division. William S. Smith s Division was detached from the Sixteenth Corps, in THE FIFTEENTH CORPS. ... September, and was also added to the Fifteenth Corps, becoming the Fourth Division. The four divisions having been concentrated at Memphis, moved thence to Chattanooga, where they participated in the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, November 23- 25, 1863. General Frank P. Blair was in command of the corps, General Sherman having been promoted, October 27, 1803, to the command of the three corps composing the Army <rf the Tennessee. The four divisions of the Fifteenth Corps were commanded at Missionary Ridge by Generals Osterhaus, Morgan L. Smith, John E. Smith,*and Hugh Ewing. The losses of the corps in that battle, and in the minor actions connected with it, aggregated 295 killed, 1,402 wounded, and 292 missing; total 1,989. After this battle the corps marched to the relief of Knoxville, arriving there December 0, 1803, two days after Longstreet s retreat. The corps then returned to Chattanooga, moving thence into Northern Alabama, where it went into winter quarters. Under command of General Logan, it was actively engaged on the Atlanta campaign of 1864 ; its division commanders were Generals Osterhaus, Morgan L. Smith, John E. Smith, and Harrow. The Third Division (John E. Smith s) garrisoned points on Sherman s line of communication, and so was not present with the advancing columns. After the fall of Atlanta, Harrow s (4th) Division was consolidated with the others, and its place was taken by Corse s Division of the Sixteenth Corps. General Corse, with a provisional command from the Fifteenth Corps, made the famous defense of Allatoona Pass, an affair remarkable for the courageous, desperate fighting of commander, officers and men. On the 12th of November, 1804, the corps started with Sherman s Army on the march through Georgia to the sea. General Logan being absent, the corps was under the command of General Osterhaus ; the four divisions were commanded by Generals C. R. Woods, Hazen, John E. Smith, and Corse. They contained 60 regiments of infantry, and 4 batteries, the infantry numbering 15,894, present for duty ; it was the largest corps in the Army that marched to the sea. The Army of the Tennessee, under General Howard, formed the right wing of Sherman s Army as it marched through Georgia on its way to the sea, and was composed of the Fifteenth and Seventeenth Corps, only, that part of the Sixteenth Corps 2 divisions - - which had served with the Army of the Tennessee on the Atlanta campaign having been consolidated with the two other corps. Although the three other corps in Sherman s Army marched uninterrupted to the sea, the Fifteenth had a brisk engagement at Griswoldville, in which Walcutt s Brigade, of Woods Division, repelled a determined attack ; and, again, upon reaching the sea, Hazen s Division was the one selected for the storming of Fort McAllister. Savannah was evacuated December 21, 1804, after a short siege, and on the 1st of Feb ruary, Sherman s Army started on its grand, victorious march through the Carolinas. General Logan having returned, he was again in command of his corps, which now numbered 15,755, infantry and artillery. It encountered some fighting in forcing disputed crossings at some of the larger rivers, and captured Columbia, S. C., General C. R. Woods Division occupying the city at the time it was burned. The corps was also in line at the battle of Bentonville, N. C., March 19, 1865 ; but General Slocurn had won a substantial victory with his wing of the Army, and but little fighting, comparatively, devolved upon the Army of the Tennessee. Johnston s Army having surrendered April 20th, the corps continued its north ward march, and, arriving at Washington May 20th, participated in the Grand Review of May 24, 1805. It proceeded, June 2d, to Louisville, Ky., and in the latter part of that month the Second Division was ordered to Little Rock, Ark., where it served with the Army of Occupation. The organization was discontinued August 1, 1805. Smith s Division was still known, officially, as the Second Division, Seventeenth Corps. 96 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. SIXTEENTH COEPS.

A. Hurlbut in command, and was composed of the four divisions of Generals W. S. Smith, Dodge, Kimball, and Lauman. It numbered 50,659, present for duty in April, 1863, with 72.569 present and absent. These troops were stationed in the vicinity of Memphis, La Grange, and Corinth until June, 1863, when the divisions of Smith, Kimball, and Lauman were ordered to Vicksburg in response to Grant s call for re-inforcements, and participated in the investment of that place. This detachment of the corps, while at Vicksburg, was placed under command of Major-General C. C. Washburn. It would be impossible to give anything like a connected history of the Sixteenth Corps from this time on, so many were the changes in its ranks, and so widely were its divisions scattered. The Sixteenth suffered more than any other corps by transfers of its di visions, - changes which prevented anything like a continuous organization, and well nigh destroyed its identity. Part of the corps served on the Atlanta campaign, while the other part was fighting in the Mississippi Valley. It was ordered discontinued in November, 1864, but was re-established within a few weeks. An organization would be perfected one month, only to be broken up the next. The War Department evinced no conception of what was due to corps organization or corps pride, and the unfortunate brigades and divisions were transferred hither and thither, with as little consideration as if they were squads from some recruiting rendezvous instead of battle-tried divisions. The three divisions at Vicksburg were not engaged in any active fighting while there, having arrived after the seige was well under way. Lauman s and Smith s divisions, how ever, fought at the Siege of Jackson, July 10-16, the former division being attached tempo rarily to the Thirteenth, and the latter, to the Ninth Corps. Smith s Division lost at Jack son 12 killed, 124 wounded, and 13 missing ; total, 149. Lauman s Division lost 68 killed, 338 wounded, and 149 missing ; total, 555. Nearly all of Lauman s loss occurred in an ill- advised attack made by three regiments of Pugli s Brigade, for which Lauman was relieved from command. Many of Lauman s officers, however, have stoutly contended that he was not to blame. The enemy having evacuated Jackson, the Army returned to Vicksburg, where the troops remained for several weeks. In September, W. S. Smith s Division was transferred to the Fifteenth Corps, and Lauman s Division was transferred to the Seventeeth. In return, when the Fifteenth Corps moved to Chattanooga, Tuttle s Division of that corps was left at Vicksburg and assigned to the Sixteenth Corps. This latter division was com manded, subsequently, by General Joseph A. Mower. Dodge s Division did not take part in the Vicksburg campaign, but remained at Corinth until November, when it moved with Sherman to the relief of Chattanooga, marching from Corinth to Pulaski, Tenn., where it was left to guard the Nashville & Decatur R. R., while Sherman with the Fifteenth corps moved on to Chattanooga. Two divisions, the Second and Fourth, commanded respectively by Generals Sweeny and Veatch, participated in the Atlanta campaign, May 1 to September 4, 1864. These two divisions, or the Sixteenth Corps as it was designated, were under the command of Major-General Grenville M. Dodge, and *Major-General A. J. Smith s command. THE SEVENTEENTH CORPS. 07 formed one of the three corps constituting the Army of the Tennessee. During the Atlanta campaign General Veatch was succeeded in the command of his division by General John W. Fuller. General Dodge s command was prominently engaged at Lay s Ferry, and in the bloody battle of Atlanta, July t>2, 1804. After the fall of Atlanta his two divisions were transferred, Sweeny s (or Corse s) to the Fifteenth, and Fuller s to the Seventeenth C orps. In the meantime the right wing of the Sixteenth Corps, as it was called, had l>een left in the Mississippi Valley ; it was composed of the First (Mower s) and Second (A. J. Smith s) Divisions, the former being the one which was transferred, in September, is3, from the Fifteenth Corps. The greater part of Kimball s Division had been ordered into Arkansas, where it became incorporated in the Seventh Corps. In February, 18(54, A. J. Smith s and Veatch s Divisions accompanied Sherman on his Meridian expedition. In April, Mower s and A. J. Smith s Divisions moved with Banks expedition up the Red River, fighting at the battle of Pleasant Hill and in the various minor engagements incidental to that campaign. These two divisions had been "loaned" to General Banks by Sherman, with an understanding that they should soon return ; but the disasters of Banks campaign prolonged their stay until it was too late to rejoin the corps in time for the Atlanta campaign. Hence, the divided oj ora tions of the Sixteenth Corps in 1804; the First and Third Divisions, under General A. J. Smith, fighting along the Mississippi, while the Second and Fourth Divisions, under Dodge, fought from Chattanooga to Atlanta. On November 7, 1864, orders were issued for the discontinuance of the organization ; but in December, 1864, General A. J. Smith and his two divisions turned up at the defense of Nashville, and participated in the victory over Hood s Army ; casualties, 750. In this battle Smith s two divisions were commanded by Generals McArthur and Kenner Garrard. His command was designated as a " Detachment, Army of the Tennessee," although it was still known as the Sixteenth Corps. It was reorganized Feb. 18, 1805, under its old designation and with Major-General A. J. Smith in command. As reorganized, it had three divisions which were commanded by Gen erals McArthur, Garrard and E. A. Carr. Proceeding to Mobile, it was engaged in the siege, and in the fighting at Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely, the latter being the last infantry engagement of the war. Fort Blakely was carried by assault, April 9, 1865, the day on which Lee surrendered at Appomattox. The corps organization was finally discontinued July 20, 1865. The men of the Sixteenth had for the most part seen plenty of service before the organi zation of the corps. They had fought well at luka, Corinth and Hatchie River, and many of the regiments had been engaged at Fort Donelson and Shiloh. SEVENTEENTH CORPS.

It was composed of the divisions of Logan, Me Arthur and Quinby, formerly the Third, Sixth and Seventh Divisions of Grant s Army, -and Major-General J. B. McPherson was assigned to its command. It was engaged in the operations on the Mississippi River prior to the campaign in the rear of Vicksburg, and then took a prominent part in the series of battles which resulted in. the investment of that place. Its three divisions entered upon that campaign with 37 regiments of infantry, and 12 batteries (60 guns) of light artillery, numbering, in all, 15,848 officers and men present for duty. Its total enrollment, present and absent, amounted to 23,154. Logan s Division was engaged at the battle of Port Gibson (Magnolia Hills), where it lost 6 killed, 41 wounded, and 2 missing ; also at Raymond, where it was the only division in action, losing there 66 killed, 339 wounded, and 37 missing. At the battle of Jackson, May 14th, the brunt of the fight fell on the Seventeenth Corps and 011 Quinby s Division, which lost 36 killed, 229 wounded, and 3 missing ; total, 268. General Quinby being absent on account of illness, his division was commanded there by General Crocker. At Champion s Hill, both Logan s and Crocker s Divisions were engaged, losing in the aggregate 179 killed, 857 wounded, and 42 missing ; total, 1,078. During these battles McArthur s Division had been absent on duty, but joined the corps in time for the first assault on Vicksburg, May 19, in which it lost 16 killed and 113 wounded. In the general assault of May 22d, the corps lost 150 killed, 880 wounded, and 36 missing ; total, 1,066. It also sustained a severe loss in the trenches during the siege, and was engaged in the affair at Fort Hill, a strong earth- work in front of the corps position. This fort was successfully mined and blown up, June 25th, but the assaulting column was unable to retain their lodgment in the crater. Upon the surrender of Vicksburg, Logan s Division was accorded the honor of first entering and occupying the city, while the rest of the corps marched away with Sherman s Expedition against Jackson. That place having been captured, the Army returned to Vicksburg, where, in September, 1863, the Fourth Division of the Sixteenth Corps (formerly Lauman s) was transferred to the Seventeenth, and placed under command of General M. M. Crocker. At the same time, Quinby s Division was transferred to the Fifteenth Corps. During the fall of 1863, the corps took part in various raids and marches, and in February, 1864, Crocker s and Leggett s Divis ions accompanied Sherman s Army on the expedition from Vicksburg to Meridian, Miss., and on the return. Soon after this the corps became divided, two divisions joining Sherman s Army in the advance on Atlanta, while the rest of the corps remained in the Mississippi Valley. In May, 1864, the Third and Fourth Divisions were assembled at Huntsville, Ala., from whence they marched through Georgia, and joined Sherman s Army on the 8th of June, at Ack worth, Ga. The corps was under the command of Major-General Frank P. Blair, General McPherson having been promoted to the command of the Army of the Tennessee, which comprised the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Corps. Blair s two divisions the ones with Sherman s Army- -were commanded by Generals Leggett and Gresham, the latter succeeding General Crocker, who relinquished his command, May 27th, on account of health. Although Sherman s Army was well on its way to Atlanta, there was plenty of fighting left for the Seventeenth Corps. It was engaged with honor in the battle of Atlanta, July : :2nd, which was one of the hardest contested fields in that campaign. General Gresham was badly wounded in this action, and General Giles A. Smith succeeded to the * Second, or Kcd River Division. THE SEVENTEENTH CORPS. 09 command of the Fourth Division. After the fall of Atlanta, Fuller s Division of the Six teenth Corps was transferred to the Seventeenth, becoming its First Division, to the command of which General Joseph A. Mower was soon after assigned. While on the March to the Sea, and during Sherman s march through the Carolinas, the corps remained under the command of General Blair, with its three divisions-- First, Third, and Fourth under Generals Mower, Leggett, and Giles A. Smith. Just before starting on the March to the Sea its morning reports showed 11,732 present for duty ; it then contained 32 regiments of infantry and five light batteries. It encountered little or no fighting as it went marching through Georgia, but its advance through the Carolinas was marked by several minor engagements, culminating in the battleof Bentonvillein which it was partially engaged. There were long, toilsome marches, also, with wide rivers to cross and swamps to wade, many of which were forded under the enemy s fire. After participating in the Grand Review at Washington at the close of the war, the Army of the Tennessee --Fifteenth and Seventeenth Army Corps was ordered in June, is<f>, to Louisville, Ky. On the Oth of July, orders were issued to prepare the Army of the Tennessee for muster-out ; in a few weeks the ranks which had fought at Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, Vicksburg, Atlanta, and in the Carolinas, moved northward and disappeared. When the Seventeenth Corps started on the Atlanta campaign it left the First and Sec ond Divisions in the Mississippi Valley, and the corps thus separated was not reunited. The place of the Fii-st Division was filled at Atlanta by the transfer from the Sixteenth Corps ; the place of the Second Division remained vacant, for that division continued to serve in the Department of the Mississippi as a part of the Seventeenth Corps. Six regiments from this division served on Banks Red River Expedition in April, 1864, the six regiments --formed into two brigades --being known then as a Provisional, or as the Red River Division of the Seventeenth Corps. It was commanded by General T. K. Smith. Parts of this division served, also, on McArthur s Yazoo City Expedition, May 4-13, 1804, and on General Slocum s Expedition to Jackson, July 5-6, 1864. A few regiments were engaged, also, under Sturgis, at Brice s Cross Roads, and in General A. J. Smith s Expedition to Tupelo. The fighting in some of these campaigns was severe on certain regiments. In November, 1864, the Red River Division of the Seventeenth Corps accompanied General A. J. Smith s forces to Nashville, and took part in that famous battle and victory. Smith s troops consisted of two divisions of the Sixteenth Corps and this provisional division of the Seventeenth ; but the whole command was officially designated as a " Detachment, from the Army of the Tennessee," instead of by their corps numbers. Upon the reorganization of the Sixteenth Corps, prior to the Mobile campaign of 1865, this division of the Seventeenth was merged in the larger organization of tlrj Sixteenth ; hence, the Seventeenth Corps, in 1S65, consisted of the three divisions then marching with Sherman northward through the Carolinas.

On December 24, 1862, the President ordered that the troops in the Department of North Carolina should be organized into a corps and designated as the Eighteenth. Tin-so were stationed at Newbern, Plymouth, Beaufort, and vicinity. They included Peel * Division, 100 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. formerly of the Fourth (Peninsular) Corps ; also, some regiments which had fought under Burnside at Roanoke Island and New Berne. There were, also, twelve regiments of nine- months men six of them from Massachusetts, and six from Pennsylvania-- whose terms of enlistment expired in the summer of 1803. Some of these nine months regiments had fought creditably at Kinston, Whitehall, and Goldsboro, in December, 1862, the same month in which the corps was organized. In February, 1863, the roster showed five divisions, commanded respectively by Generals Palmer, Naglee, Ferry, Wessells, and Prince, with General J. G. Foster in command of the corps. Ferry s and Naglee s Divisions containing sixteen regiments were detached in February, 1863, and ordered to Charleston Harbor, where they were attached to the Tenth Corps, becoming subsequently a part of that organization. In June, 1863, the twelve regi ments which had been enrolled for nine months only took their departure, their term of service having expired. In place of these losses the troops of the Seventh Corps were transferred, that organization having been discontinued August 1, 1863. With the Seventh Corps came a valuable accession of veteran material in Getty s Division, formerly of the Ninth Corps. This division had been left in South-eastern Virginia when the Ninth Corps went to the West, and had been engaged, in. the spring of 1863, in the defense of Suffolk against Longstreet s besieging Army. After the withdrawal of the enemy from the vicinity of Suffolk, there were 110 operations of consequence during the year 1863 in the Department of North Carolina, and the corps was left in quiet possession of the territory. There were, however, occasional reconnois- sances into the enemy s country, and some skirmishing at the outposts. In April, 1864, the corps was concentrated at Yorktown, preparatory to the spring cam paign of the Army of the James. That army was commanded by General Butler, and was composed of the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps. The Eighteenth, as organized for this cam paign, contained 15,972 officers and men present for duty, including the artillery, which carried 36 guns. It was commanded by William F. Smith, a Sixth Corps general, who had fought under McClellan, and who, later on, had achieved distinction through his successful plan of the battles of Chattanooga. The corps contained three divisions, commanded by Generals Brooks, Weitzel and Hinks, the division of the latter being composed of colored troops. Butler s Army landed at Bermuda Hundred May 6, 1864, the same day that Grant was fighting in the Wilderness, and a series of bloody battles immediately followed, the princi pal one occurring May 16th, at Drewry s Bluff. The campaign was a short one, resulting in defeat, and Butler withdrew to his original position on the James River, the corps losing in these operations 213 killed, 1,224 wounded and 742 missing ; total, 2,179. General Grant then ordered the Eighteenth Corps to reinforce the Army of the Potomac, and on May 27th it moved by transports down the James and up the York River to White House Landing, from whence it marched to Cold Harbor. Hinks Division was left behind, and in its place, two divis ions of the Tenth Corps, under General Devens, temporarily attached to the Eighteenth as a third division, moved with General Smith s command, the three divisions being commanded at Cold Harbor by Generals Brooks, Martindale and Devens. In that battle the Eighteenth Corps made a gallant attack on the enemy s intrenchments ; but, like the various other corps engaged, it was obliged to abandon the assault with heavy loss, its casualties at Cold Harbor amounted to 448 killed, 2,365 wounded, and 206 missing ; total, 3,019. On June 12th, General Smith s command withdrew from Cold Harbor, and, re-embarking, sailed for Bermuda Hundred, arriving there on the 14th. On the following day the Eighteenth Corps advanced to Petersburg and assaulted the works that evening, Hinks Colored Division gaining a partial success and capturing several pieces of artillery. This was the first time in the war in which colored troops, to the extent of a brigade, were engaged in battle. THE NINKTKENTH Coin s. After the failure of the assaults on Petersburg the Eighteenth Corps wont into position in the trenches, .and participated in the siege. It held tho extreme right of the line, at which l>oiiit the contending armies were nearest each other. The proximity of tin; enemy s pickets and the incessant firing occasioned large losses, daily, in killed and wounded. On August 26th it was relieved by the Tenth Corps, and ordered within the defenses of Bermuda Hundred. In the latter part of September it was ordered to the north bank of the James, where, on the 29th, the First Division (Stamiard s) participated in the brilliant and successful assault on Fort Harrison, at Chaffin s Farm. At this time, General Stannard com manded the First Division, General Brooks having resigned in July; General Paine had succeeded Hinks in command of the colored (Third) division ; and while at Chaffin s Farm, General Weitzel, who had been acting as chief of staff to General Butler, succeeded Orel in command of the corps. The Eighteenth, under Weitzel, was also engaged at the battle of Fair Oaks. October 27, 1864, which was fought on the old battle h eld of 1862. On December 3, 1864, the corps was ordered discontinued. The white troops of the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps were organized into one corps, designated as the Twenty- fourth ; the colored troops belonging to the Tenth and Eighteenth were organized as another, which was designated the Twenty-fifth. The regiments of the Eighteenth were formed into a division of three brigades, which became Devens (3d) Division of the Twenty-fourth Corps. As the Eighteenth Corps was to remain in Virginia with the Army, it is difficult to under stand what good reason the War Department could have had for thus wiping out the honored name under which the corps had fought so long and well.

Organized under General Order No. 5, dated at Washington, Jan. 5, 1863 : " By direction of the President, the troops in the Department of the Gulf will constitute the Nineteenth Army Corps, to date from December 14, 1862, and Major-General N. P. Banks is assigned to the command." At this time the troops of the Nineteenth Corps were, for the most part, just arriving from the North on ocean transports, and some of the regiments which had been assigned to the corps had not landed at this date. There had been some Union troops in Louisiana since the occupation of New Orleans, one brigade of which, under command of General Thomas Williams, fought at Baton Rouge, August 5, 18C2, making a gallant and successful defence against the attack of B reck en ridge s Division. General Williams was killed in this battle. Another brigade, under General Weitzel, was engaged in a hot fight, October 27, 1862, at Georgia Landing (Labadiesville) in the LaFourche district. Soon after the date of the order creating the Nineteenth Corps, an organization was effected. The returns for April, 1863, show four divisions, commanded resi>ectively by Generals Augur, Sherman (Thos. W.), Emory and Grover. In addition, the corps command included seven unassigned regiments. stationed at Brashear City, Key West, Tortugas and West Florida; in all, 65 regiments of infantry, 19 batteries of light artillery, one regiment of heavy artil lery, and 5 regiments of cavalry. It numbered, all told -- present and absent- - 55,229 ; present, 44,832 ; present for duty, 35,670. Forty of these regiments had been organized in 102 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. the fall of 1862, under the second call for troops, and twenty-two of them were enlisted for nine months only, the terms of the latter expiring in July, 1863. There were also six newly organized regiments of colored troops from Louisiana. The New England States contributed 39 regiments, 21 of which were nine-months men ; there were 22 regiments from New York, and 1 from Pennsylvania, the latter (47th Penn.) being the only Keystone regiment in the Department of the Gulf. Active operations were soon commenced, and on April 12, 1863, the corps encountered the enemy at Fort Bisland, La., with a loss of 40 killed, and 184 wounded ; and on the 14th, at Irish Bend. La., with a loss of 49 killed, 274 wounded, and 30 missing; total casualties in both actions, 577. The investment of Port Hudson was accomplished in the following month, and on May 27th a gallant but unsuccessful attempt was made to carry the enemy s works by storm, the corps losing in this action 293 killed, 1,545 wounded, and 157 missing ; total, 1,995. Another general assault was made on June 14th, but without success ; loss, 203 killed, 1,401 wounded, and 201 missing ; total, 1,805. In the meantime, the constant fir ing from the trenches resulted in additional daily losses in killed and wounded. The Confed erate garrison, learning of the fall of Vicksburg, surrendered on July 9th. The losses in the corps during the siege including the assaults of May 27th and June 14th amounted to 707 killed, 3,336 wounded, and 319 missing ; total, 4,362. The heaviest loss fell on Augur s (1st) Division. Fearing s Brigade, of Paine s (3d) Division, also sustained a severe loss, and one of the Louisiana (colored) regiments suffered severely in the assaults. Soon after the surrender of Port Hudson and termination of that campaign, the 22 regi ments which had been recruited for nine months left for their homes, their term of service having expired. The loss of these troops necessitated a reduction of the organization to three divisions. The ensuing nine months July, 1863, to March, 1864 were spent in post or garrison duty, with some reconnoissances and minor expeditions into the enemy s country. On the 15th of March, 1864, the troops started on Banks Eed River Expedition, his Army consisting of parts of the Thirteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Nineteenth Corps. Major- General William B. Franklin commanded the Nineteenth Corps on this expedition, and took with him the First (Emory s) and Second (Grover s) Divisions; the Third Division was left in the defenses of New Orleans. Upon the arrival of Bank s Army at Alexandria the Second Division was left there, while the First moved on and fought at Sabine Cross Roads. In addition to the battles of Sabine Cross Roads and Pleasant Hill, the corps was engaged in several minor actions while on this expedition. In July, 1864, the First and Second Divisions proceeded to New Orleans, and embarked for Virginia, leaving the rest of the corps in Louisiana. On arriving at Washington the two divisions were ordered into Maryland to confront Early s invasion, after which they served in the Shenandoah Valley, in Sheridan s Army. The Nineteenth Corps, or this part of it, was now under the command of General William H. Emory ; the First Division, containing 17 regiments, was commanded by General William Dwight ; the Second Division, containing 4 brigades, 21 regiments, was commanded by General Cuvier Grover. The returns from these two divisions for August, 1864, show an aggregate of 21,640, present and absent ; 14,645 present, with 13,176 present for duty. Of the latter, the corps lost over 5,000 men in the Shenandoah campaign. It lost at the Opequon, September 19th, 314 killed, 1,554 wounded, and 206 missing ; at Fisher s Hill, September 22d, 15 killed, 86 wounded, and 13 missing ; at Cedar Creek, October 19th, 257 killed, 1,336 wounded, and 790 missing ; in skirmishes and on the picket lines, 57 killed, 446 wounded, and 13 missing ; in all, 5,087 casualties. At the Opequon, Grover s Division lost 1,527 men out of 6,797 taken into action, or present for duty before the battle. The fighting in the Valley having ended, Grover s (2d) Division was ordered, in January, TUB TWKNTIKTH CORPS. 1865, to proceed to Savannah, where it was followed hy the First Division, which left the Valley in April. The latter division made a short stay at Washington hefore sailing for Savannah, during which it participated in the Grand Review of May 24, 1805. The Second Division having arrived at -Savannah, General G rover was assigned to the command of the district, and General H. W. Birge to the command of the division. In March, 1S05, Dirge s Division, containing three brigades, eighteen regiments, was ordered to North Carolina, where it was attached temporarily to the Tenth Corps and was designated as the First Division of that corps. The Fourth Brigade of Birge s Division was left at Savannah, the whole division returning there in May. The Nineteenth corps remained at Savannah and vicinity until August, 1805 ; some of the regiments remained until 1800. The corps organization, however, was officially discontinued March 20, 1805. The portion of the corps left behind at New Orleans remained in the Department of the Gulf, and, in the spring of 18(55, participated with the Thirteenth and Sixteenth corps in General Canby s operations against Fort Blakely, Spanish Fort, and Mobile. TWENTIETH CORPS. (McCooK s.) STONE S RIVER ; LIBERTY GAP ; CHICKAMAUOA. 4 Tins corps was identical with that part of the Army of the Cumberland, or Fourteenth Corps, which had been designated as the Right Wing until January ! , ISO;}, when, under General Order No. 9, the War Department directed that the Right Wing be set apart and designated as the Twentieth Corps. Major-General A. McD. McCook, its former com mander, and Generals Davis, Johnson, and Sheridan, its former generals of division, were retained in command. The troops composing u McCook s Corps," as it was generally called in the army, were veterans who li;id \\-iili-liMp.l ilir fire of li.-ml fought fields. Many of the regiments had fought at Shiloh, and at Chaplin Hills, and all of them were engaged at Stone s River. McCook had distinguished himself at Shiloh, where his division contributed largely to Buell s success in the second day s battle; also at Chaplin Hills, in which battle his command was almost the only force engaged. The Twentieth Corps, at the time it was so designated, con tained the same troops which fought at Stone s River, with the same organization of divis ions and brigades. There were three divisions, each containing three brigades ; in all, 37 regi ments of infantry, and 9 batteries of light artillery, one battery being attached to each brigade. It numbered, just before the battle of Stone s River, 13,77!) present for duty. After Rosecrans victory at Stone s River, the Twentieth Corps advanced with the Army of the Cumberland and occupied Murfreesboro, where it remained until June, 1803. The advance on Chattanooga then commenced, during which the corps encountered the enemy at Liberty Gap, Tenn., on the 25th of June. Its casualties in that action amounted to 42 killed, 231 wounded, and 1 missing ; total, 274. It accompanied Rosecrans across the Cumberland Mountains in his inn-suit of Bragg, and on Sept. 19th fought at Chickamauga. In this battle McCook s Corps took eight brigades, 12,480 men, into action ; it lost 423 killed, 2, OD8 wounded, and 1,215 missing ; total, 4, 33< - ,. One brigade --Post s (1st) Brigade, Davis (1st) Division -- was not engaged, l>eing absent guarding a supply train. On September 28th, 1803, the Twentieth and Twenty-first Corps were consolidated, form ing the Fourth Corps, Army of the Cumlerland. . By this arrangement General McCook was left without a command. 104 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. TWENTIETH CORPS. (HOOKER S). ROCKY FACE RIDGE ; RESACA ; CASSVILLE ; NEW HOPE CHURCH ; DALLAS ; PINE KNOB ; GOLGOTHA; CULP S FARM ; KENESAW MOUNTAIN ; PEACH TREE CREEK ; SIEGE OF ATLANTA ; MARCH TO THE SEA ; SIEGE OP SAVANNAH ; ARGYLE ISLAND ; MONTEITH SWAMP ; AVERASBORO ; BENTONVILLE ; NASHVILLE.* This corps was formed April 4, 1864, by taking the Twelfth Corps, which was composed of the veteran divisions of Williams and Geary, and adding to it Butterfield s newly organ ized division. At the same time, two divisions of the Eleventh Corps f were broken up and distributed to the divisions of Williams, Geary and Butter-field. The badge of the Twelfth Corps was retained, and there was no good reason why its number should not have been retained also ; the brigade and division generals of the Twelfth Corps retained their respect ive commands, and little change was made other than the increase by accessions of trans ferred material. Each division now contained three brigades, containing in all 52 regiments of infantry, and 6 batteries of light artillery, numbering 21,280 officers and men present for duty. It was all veteran material, the most of the regiments having served with the Army of the Potomac in many of the greatest battles of the war, and, later on, at Wauhatchie and Lookout Mountain. Major-General Joseph Hooker was placed in command. It was a grand corps, and worthy of the hero who was to lead it. In addition to the three divisions of Williams, Geary and Butterfield, there was a Fourth Division, under command of Major-General Lovell H. Rousseau. This division was detached on post or garrison duty and never joined the corps ; in fact, the men of the Twentieth were unaware of the existence of a Fourth Division. A part of Rousseau s Division was engaged in the Tennessee campaign against Hood, in 1864, and was present at the battle of Nashville. The Twentieth Corps started, May 4, 1864, on the Atlanta campaign, and during the next four months participated in all the important battles, its hardest fighting occurring at Resaca, May 15th, at New Hope Church, May 25th, and at Peach Tree Creek, July 20th. It was also actively engaged in the investment and siege of Atlanta, sustaining losses daily in killed and wounded while occupying the trenches. During the four months fighting from Chatta nooga to Atlanta, it lost over 7,000 men killed, wounded and missing. Before reaching Atlanta, Hooker had a disagreement with Sherman, and asked to be relieved. He was suc ceeded by Major-General Henry W. Slocum, the former commander of the Twelfth Corps, and one of the ablest generals in the Union armies. General Butterfield, commanding the Third Division, was succeeded during the campaign by General William C. Ward. Upon the evacuation of Atlanta, some troops of the Twentieth Corps Coburn s Brigade of Ward s Division were the first to enter and occupy the city, the entire corps remaining there to hold their important prize, while Sherman and the rest of the Army marched in pursuit of Hood. On November 15, 1864, Sherman and his men started on their grand march through Georgia to the Sea, the Army of the Cumberland -- Fourteenth and Twentieth Corps - forming the Right Wing, under command of General Slocum. General A. S. Williams, of the First Division, succeeded to the command of the corps, with Jackson, Geary, and Ward as division generals. When it started on this march, the corps numbered 13,741, present for duty, and contained 47 regiments of infantry, 1 of engineers, 1 of pontoniers, and 4 batteries * Rousseau s Fourth Division (20th A. C.) participated in the battle of Nashville. t One division of the Eleventh Corps (Sehimmelfennig s) had been sent to South Carolina, TllK TWKNTY-FlKST CORPS. 105 of light artillery. It was actively engaged at the siege of Savannah, and upon Hartley s evacuation, Decemher 20th, Geary s Division was the first to enter the city. Leaving Savannah in February, 1805, the Army marched northward through the Caro- linas, and at the battle of Averasboro (N. C.), the Twentieth Corps was the only infantry engaged ; loss, 77 killed, and 47.~> wounded. Three days later, Jackson s and Ward s Divis ions were hotly engaged in General Slocum s battle at Bentonville. At the close of the cam paign, in April, 1865, Major-General Joseph A. Mower was assigned to the command of the corps, whereupon General Williams resumed his old command, that of the First, or KVd Si;ir I MYI-IMII. Williams, whose commission as brigadier dated May 17, istil, had commanded tliis division from the beginning of the war. It was remarkable as being the only division which served during the war without a change of commander. Williams commanded it at Winchester, May, 1862, and rode at its head in the Grand Review of May, 1865 ; lie was absent only when in temporary command of the corps. He commanded the Twelfth Corps at Antietam, Mansfield having been killed while going into action ; also, at Gettysburg, Slocum being in command then of the Right Wing. He also commanded the Twentieth Corps while on the March to the Sea and through the Carolinas ; at the battles of Averasboro and Bentonville. He was an able officer, enjoying to the fullest extent the respect and confidence of every officer and man in his division. Denied the commission of a major-general which he had earned so well, and superseded in command of his corps, the gallant old patriot made no sign of complaint, and continued to serve his country faithfully and well. The persistent refusal to recognize Williams services together with the influence and motives which prompted such action were discreditable, to say the least. The campaign in the Carolinas having ended in Johnston s surrender, the Twentieth Corps marched oil to Washington, where it participated in the Grand Review, and was then disbanded. TWENTY-FIRST CORPS. STONE S RIVER ; CHICKAMAUGA. On the 7th of November, 1862, General Rosecrans divided the Army of the Cumberland -then known as the Fourteenth Army Corps --into the Right Wing, Centre, and Left Wing. The organization of the left wing, as then arranged, remained unchanged until January 9, 1863, when, by authority of the War Department, General Order No. 9, its designation was changed to that of the Twenty-first Corps. No other change was made, the different brigades and divisions remaining as before. The left wing, or Twenty-first Corps, was organized with Major-General Thomas L. Crittenden in command, and contained the three divisions of W. S. Smith, Van Cleve, and Hascall. At the battle of Stone s River the divisions were commanded by Generals Thos. J. Wood, Palmer, and Van Cleve. The three divisions contained three brigades each ; in all, 38 regiments of infantry, and 8 batteries of light artillery. The losses of the left wing at Stone s River amounted to 650 killed, 3,006 wounded, and 873 missing ; total, 4,529, out of 12,909 officers and men engaged. After this battle the enemy fell back, whereupon Rosecrans Army occupied Murf reesboro, remaining encamped there, or in its vicinity, until June, 1S63, when another forward move ment took place which ended in the battle of Chickamauga and in the permanent occupation of Chattanooga. The Twenty-first Corps fought at Chickamauga under the same corps and division generals as at Stone s River. The organization was the same, 3 divisions of brigades each ; the regiments, however (38 in number), had diminished in size. The corps 106 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. numbered, at Chickamauga, 14,040 present for duty. Wagner s (2d) Brigade, of Wood s (1st) Division, was not engaged, having been left on duty at Chattanooga. Two regiments were also detailed elsewhere, leaving 11,480 men in action. Of this number, the corps lost 322 killed, 2,382 wounded, and 699 missing ; total, 3,403. There seems to be a general impression that, after the disaster at Chickamauga, the day was saved solely by Thomas Corps. In justice to the gallant men of Crittenden s command, it should be stated that Palmer s Division of the Twenty-first Corps fought with Thomas during the whole battle ; and that General Wood with two brigades of his own division, and one from Van Cleve s which was not cut off, went to the aid of Thomas on the second day. Soon after this battle the Twentieth and the Twenty-first Corps were consolidated, forming the Fourth Corps. General Crittenden was left without a command, but was subse quently assigned to a division in the Ninth Corps, Army of the Potomac, while on the Wilderness campaign of the following spring. TWENTY-SECOND CORPS. FORT STEVENS. This organization comprised the troops occupying the defenses of Washington. It was organized February 2, 1863, with Major-General S. P. Heintzelman. in command. He was succeeded by Major-General C. C. Augur, who was in command at the time of Eaiiy s in vasion in July, 1864. At that time the Confederate troops advanced within the limits of the city of Washing ton, and a severe battle was fought at Fort Stevens, in the outskirts of the city. In this battle the principal part of the fighting devolved upon the Sixth Corps ; but prior to its arrival, Hardin s Division of the Twenty -second Corps held the skirmish line and the outer line of works, confronting Early s advance, Hardin s troops were under fire and became engaged at various points on the line, their losses amounting to Y3, killed and wounded. The roster of the corps was continually changing, as the Department was being con tinually drawn upon for reinforcements for the field, thereby preventing anything like a continuous organization. At one time, the corps was commanded by Major-General Jno. G. Parke, while among its various division commanders were Generals Hardin, De Russy and Hascall. TWENTY-THIRD CORPS.

General Burnside was assigned to the command of the Department of the Ohio in the spring of 1863, his district including Kentucky and East Tennessee. The Ninth Corps left Virginia at this time and was assigned to his command ; but, having planned an active cam paign in East Tennessee, and needing additional troops, he organized the Twenty-third Corps from the regiments then stationed in Kentucky. This new corps was formed April 27, 1863, with Major- General George L. Hartsuff in command. Generals Julius White and Milo S. Hascall were assigned to division commands. THK TWENTY-THIRD CORPS. 107 The proposed campaign in East Tennessee was postponed, as the Ninth Corps was ordered to Vicksburg, to reinforce Grant s army ; but in August, the Ninth Corps returned to Ken lucky, and the advance of the Twenty-third commenced. The Second Division (\VhiteV) made its rendezvous at New Market, from whence it marched on the 10th, arriving at London, Tenn., on the 4th of September. General Longstreet s Corps had been detach**! from Lee s Army, and, in Octol>er, 1803, marched into East Tennessee to drive out Bnrnside s Army <f the Ohio, as the united forces of the Ninth and Twenty-third Corps were then designated. The fighting was continuous, minor engagements occurring almost daily, and on November 16th a spirited battle occurred at Campbell s Station, in which White s Division was actively engaged. Burnside moved next to Knoxville, which place was invested and finally assaulted by Longstreet, but without success. At Campbell s Station, and at Knoxville, the corps was commanded by General Mahlon D. Manson. In August, 1863, Mahan s Brigade? of Indiana troops was assigned to the Third Division. These regiments were recruited for six months service only, and returned to Indiana in Feb ruary, 1864. They served in East Tennessee, and were present at Blue Springs and Walker s Ford. On the 4th of April, 1*64, Major-General John M. Schofield was assigned to the corps, and he commanded it during the Atlanta campaign, which was the most eventful period of its exist ence. In the spring of 18f!4,Hovey s Division of Indiana troops, newly recruited, joined the corps at Charleston, Tenn., and was designated as the First Division. The Second Division was commanded by General Henry M. Judah, and the Third Division by General Jacob I). Cox, with which organization it started on the Atlanta campaign. But on June (5, 1804, the First Division was broken up and divided between the other two divisions. While on the Atlanta campaign. General Judah was succeeded by General Hascall in the command of the Second Division. The greatest loss of the corps during that campaign was sustained May 14, 180:, at the battle of Resaca. It also encountered some hard fighting near Kenesaw and at Utoy Creek. After the fall of Atlanta, and while Sherman s Army was wending its way to the Sea, the Twenty-third Corps joined Thomas Army in the Tennessee campaign against Hood. Tin- corps was still under the command of General Schofield, while the two divisions, Second and Third, were commanded, respectively, by Generals Ruger and Cox. These two divisions ontained 30 regiments of infantry and 4 batteries of light artillery. Their returns for October 31, 18(54, just before stalling on the Tennessee campaign show 1 0,0:24 officers and men present for duty. The corps was actively engaged at the battle of Franklin, but at Nashville it was largely held in reserve. In the latter action, Ruger s (2d) Division was com manded by Major-General Darius N. Couch. In January, 1865. the corps moved from Nashville, via Washington, to North Carolina, Cox s Division landing at Fort Fisher, February i, 1865. Moving up the river, the corps fought at Fort Anderson, and at Wilmington, February ^Ist, capturing the latter place. In the meantime, another division was formed, and designated as the First Division, with General Ruger in command. This division was actively engaged in the victory at Kinston, N. C. (Wise s Forks), which resulted in the occupation of Goldsboro. General Cox succeeded Schofield, the latter having been promoted to the command of the Army of the Ohio, which, since the arrival of the Twenty-third Corps in North Carolina, comprised two corps the Tenth (Terry s) and Twenty-third. On the loth of April, 1805, the Twenty-third Corps numbered 14,21)3 present for duty, and was composed of three divisions - -Ruger s, Couch s, and Carter s. It remained in North Carolina while Sherman s Army, with which it had made a junction at Goldsboro, marched northward to Washington. The corps was discon tinued on August 1, 1865, many of the regiments having Ixnm mustered out before that. 108 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. TWENTY-FOURTH CORPS. BERMUDA HUNDRED ; FORT FISHER ; PETERSBURG ; HATCHER S RUN, March 30th ; FORT GREGG ; RICE S STATION ; FALL OF RICHMOND ; CLOVER HILL ; APPOMATTOX. The white troops of the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps were assembled in one command, and organized, December 3, 1864, as the Twenty-fourth Corps, with Major-General Edward O. Ord in command. The troops of the Tenth Corps were assigned to the First and Second Divisions, while the regiments of the Eighteenth Corps were placed in the Third Division. The three divisions were commanded by Generals Foster, Ames and Devens, and were stationed on the north bank of the James, in front of Richmond. As before the consolida tion, these troops remained in the Army of the James. Ames (2d) Division did not remain long in the corps In December, 1864, it left its quarters and embarked for North Carolina, forming part of Butler s expedition to Fort Fisher. Butler s troops returned without having accomplished anything ; but, in January, Ames three brigades were ordered to return to Fort Fisher, this second expedition being entrusted to the command of General Alfred H. Terry, the former commander of the Tenth Corps. Abbott s Brigade, of the First Division, also accompanied Terry s Expedition. These troops Ames Division and Abbott s Brigade - - were the ones which won the famous victory at Fort Fisher, January 15, 1865. They never rejoined the Twenty-fourth Corps, but remained in North Carolina, where they formed a nucleus for a revival of the organization of the Tenth Corps. In December, 1864, while Ames Division was absent on the first expedition to Fort Fisher, the Twenty-fourth Corps was reinforced by the First Division, Eighth Corps. This was a veteran body of troops - - formerly Thoburn s Division - - which had seen long and active service in West Virginia and in the Shenandoah Valley. It was transferred to the Twenty-fourth Corps, the fighting in the Valley having ended, and arrived December 25th on the banks of the James, where it took possession of the abandoned quarters of the Fort Fisher division. These troops from West Virginia (t) regiments) were designated an Inde pendent Division, and General John W. Turner, formerly a division-general in the Tenth Corps, was assigned to its command. The Twenty-fourth Corps now consisted of three divisions, Foster s, Devens and Turner s, containing 42 infantry regiments, and numbering 18,148 present for duty, equipped. On January 1, 1865, General Butler was relieved from the command of the Army of the James -- Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Corps and General Ord was appointed in his place. Major-General John Gibbon, an able and distinguished division-general of the Second Corps, became the commander of the Twenty-fourth. But little fighting had occurred on the north bank of the James since the organization of the corps, except a minor affair at Spring Hill, December 10, 1864, in which Longstreet made a sortie against the extreme right of the Union line. On the 27th of March, 1865, Foster s and Turner s Divisions of the Twenty-fourth Corps, with one division of the Twenty-fifth, all under command of General Ord, Army of the James (General Gibbon commanding his corps), crossed to the south banks of the James and Appo- mattox Rivers, and joined the main army at Hatcher s Run, where they participated in the preliminary movements of the final, grand campaign. In the general and victorious assault on Petersburg, April 2, 1865, the Twenty-fourth Corps was assigned to the duty of assaulting Forts Gregg and Whitworth, which they carried by a determined and brilliant attack ; but not without a serious loss, and a final struggle in which bayonets were used. General Gibbon describes this assault as one of the most desperate in the war. THK TWENTY-FIFTH CORPS. 109 The full of Petersburg immediately followed as the result of the victorious assaults of the Twenty-fourth, Sixth, and Ninth Corps, after which the Twenty-fourth joined in tin* pursuit of Lee s Army. During this pursuit it had a sharp tight, April Oth, at Rice s Station, or Higli Bridge. On April Dth, the day of Lee s surrender, the corps was sharply engaged in the forenoon, the Twenty-fourth Corps having the honor of making the last infantry fight of that campaign, and of the war. Gibbon arrived at Appomattox Court House about ten o clock, and intercepted Lee s troops who were driving the cavalry back in their attempt to escape. General Ord, commanding at that time the Twenty-fourth, Fifth, and Twenty-fifth (colored) Corps, states that the arrival of his command was opportune; that "in spite of General Sheridan s attempts, the cavalry was falling back in confusion before Lee s infantry;" and that his troops "soon deployed and went in, Gibbon at double-quick, with Foster s and Turner s Divisions in beautiful style." After a short, sharp action a white flagapi>eared at an adjoining part of Ord s line, whereupon the Twenty-fourth Corps was ordered to cease firing. The last infantry-volley of the war had been fired. This fight, on the day of Leo s surrender, was known by the troops as Clover Hill. During this campaign, March 2 .th to April th, - from Hatcher s Run to Appomattox -- the Twenty-fourth Corps lost 1-i J killed, and 505 wounded ; total, 714. When General Ord moved the Army of the James to Petersburg, March 27, 1805, ho left Devens (3d) Division of the Twenty-fourth, and one division of the Twenty-fifth, in front of Richmond, on the north bank of the James. Upon the fall of Petersburg these troops, under General Weitzel, the commander of the Twenty-fifth Corps, marched on Richmond, and encountering little or no opposition entered that city on the 3d of April. Foster s and Turner s Divisions returned to Richmond after the victory at Appomattox, and the corps remained in Virginia until August 1, 1S05, when the existence of the organization ceased officially, many of the regiments having already returned to their homes. Although this corps does not dis play any long list of battles, it should be remembered that its regiments were veterans of many hard-fought fields before they were assigned to it. They had withstood the shock of many battles, and their banners were inscribed with the names of historic fields. TWENTY-FIFTH CORPS. BERMUDA HUNDRED ; FORT FISHER ; PETERSBURG ; HATCHER S RUN* ; FORT GREGG ; FALL OP RICHMOND ; RICE S STATION ; CLOVER HILL ; APPOMATTOX. This organization was composed of the colored troops previously belonging to the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps, and which were consolidated for the purpose of forming an Army Corps composed entirely of black regiments. It was organized December 3, 1804, and Major- General Godfre) Weitzel was placed in command. 1 1 was composed of the divisions of Gi n erals Kautz, Birney (Wm.), and Paine, containing in all 32 regiments of infantry and 1 of cavalry. Its returns for February, 1805, show a strength of 13,030 infantry, cavalry, and artillery, the latter carrying 5(5 guns. In January, 1805, Paine s Division sailed with Terry s Expedition to Fort Fisher, where it rendered effective service during that memorable action, although it did not form a part of the column of assault. Paine s Division did not rejoin the corps, but remained in North Car olina, and when the Tenth Corps was reorganized became the Third Division of that corps. On the 27th of March, 1805, Birney s (2d) Division accompanied the Army of the James -General Ord s command --on its marcl i from the James River to Hatcher s Run, Kautz (1st) Division remaining in the defenses of Bermuda Hundred. Birney s Division was present in the fighting at the fall of Petersburg, after which it joined in the pursuit of Lee s Army, and participated in the closing battle at Clover Hill, April yth, the day of Lee s surrender. 110 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. In the meantime, Kautz Division accompanied General Weitzel to Richmond, the colored troops of the Twenty-fifth Corps being the first to enter that city. In May, 1805, the corps accompanied General Weitzel to Texas, where it joined the Army of Occupation, and remained until January 8, 1860, when the corps was discontinued, it being the last corps mustered out. Many of the regiments had been previously mustered out in the summer and fall of 1865. In addition to the list of battles belonging properly to the Twenty-fifth Corps, the col ored regiments of that command had fought with honor at the Petersburg Assault, the Mine Explosion at Deep Bottom, Chaffiirs Farm, Fort Gilmer, Darbytowii Road, and Fair Oaks.

This list covers only the more important of the numerous battles in which the Cavalry of the Army of the Potomac were engaged. It would be almost impossible to enumerate all the minor actions and affairs in which it participated, as not a day passed but, somewhere, at least, a battalion or regiment was under fire. From Beverly Ford to Appomattox, a "dead cavalryman " could have been seen any day of the year in answer to Hooker s famous query. The first organization of the cavalry into one command was made in April, 1803, and Major-General George Stoneman was placed at its head. It numbered 11,402 men present for duty, and was divided into three commands under Generals Pleasanton, Buford and Averell. Stoiieman s corps made a raid on the enemy s rear during the Chancellorsville cam paign, but, owing to various causes, the movement did not produce the favorable results expected. Hooker, being dissatisfied, relieved Stoneman and put Major-General Alfred Pleas anton in his place. On June 9, 1803, the corps was engaged at Beverly s Ford. Va., in a battle which was largely a cavalry affair on both sides. From this battle dates the efficiency of the cavalry arm of the service in the war. Particular regiments had often demonstrated their efficiency on previous occasions, but until this battle the cavalry had not shown its ability to act as an independent body. Pleasanton took about 9,000 sabres to Beverly Ford, one-third of which, however, were not engaged , Duffle s Division having been detached to hold a position else where. The three divisions were commanded bv Generals Buford, Duffle and Gregg. A CAVALRY CORPS. 1 1 1 proper compliment of horse artillery was attached, and two brigades of infantry were also present in support. Casualties at Beverly s Ford, 484 killed and wounded, not including cap tured or missing. More hard fighting occurred at Aldie and Middleburg(June 1 7th and I . th), one of the passes of the mountains which screened Lee s advance into Pennsylvania, the cavalry losing in these two actions 6*3 killed, 177 wounded, and 10 1 missing; total, 404. At Gettysburg, the Cav alry Corps was still under Pleasanton s command, with Buford, Gregg and Kilpatrick as division-generals, and numbered 11,000 sabres and 27 guns. Two brigades of horse artillery - Robertson s and Tidball s, 9 batteries - - were attached to the corps previous to this cam paign. Cavalry fought with cavalry at Gettysburg, the fighting occurring mostly on the extreme right of the Union line. Kilpatrick had a fight, also, on the left, in which General Farnsworth was killed. The casualties in the Cavalry Corps at Gettysburg amounted to no killed, 352 wounded, and 199 captured or missing;* total, (541, the heaviest loss falling on Ouster s Michigan Brigade. Buford s Division had the honor of opening this historic battle, his long skirmish-line of dismounted troopers holding the enemy at bay until the First Corps arrived on the field. The Cavalry made some brilliant charges during the course of this bat tle, in which sabre cuts were freely exchanged. Upon the reorganization of the Army of the Potomac, in April, 1804, Major-General Philip H. Sheridan was placed in command of the Cavalry Corps. The three divisions were commanded by Generals Torbert, Gregg (D. M.), and Wilson, and contained 32 regiments of cavalry, numbering 12,424, "present for duty, equipped." This does not include the cavalry - 1812 in number attached to the Ninth Corps ; nor the horse artillery which acted in con junction with the mounted troops. The campaign of 1804 was marked by the hardest fighting and greatest loss of life which had hitherto fallen to the lot of this arm of service. Most of the time it was cavalry fighting cavalry, in large numbers, by brigades and divisions. As the men fought dismounted and with carbines, the battles closely resembled infantry engagements, and being well supplied with horse artillery there was but little difference in the character of the fighting. Among the more important of these dismounted cavalry battles in Grant s campaign, might be mentioned Todd s Tavern, May 8 ; Hawes Shop, May 28 ; Trevilian Station, June 11 ; St. Mary s Church, June 24 ; Dinwiddie Court House, March 31 ; Five Forks, April 1 ; and Appomattox, April 9, 1805. In August, 1804, Sheridan was promoted to the command of the Army of the Shenandoah, and took with him the First and Third Cavalry Divisions -- Merritt s and Wilson s. General Torbert was assigned to the command of the cavalry forces in the Shenandoah, and his two divisions were reenforced by Duftie s and Averell s Cavalry Divisions of the Army of West Virginia. The cavalry fighting in the Shenandoah was a series of brilliant affairs, interspersed with skirmishes, which cost the corps a serious loss of life. Upon Sheridan s return to Petersburg he brought back with him Devin s and Ouster s Divisions, which, added to Crooks (formerly Gregg s) Division, restored the organization to its original formation, General Merritt being in command of the three divisions. The corps started on the final campaign of 1805 with 37 regiments of cavalry, numbering 13,820 present for duty, or about 11,000 carbines available for action. During the last ten days of the cam paign -- from Five Forks to Appomattox --the corps took a prominent and meritorious part in the operations which culminated in the surrender of lyre s Army. The cavalry were a conspicuous and attractive feature of the Grand Review at Washington, after the close of the war. Soon after that event, most of the regiments were mustered out of service. Among the heavy losses of the cavalry the following casualties are worthy of note ; they indicate clearly the hard fighting done by this arm of the service. * Not includhiK loss of captured men (6th U. S. Cavalry) at Fairfickl, Fa. 112 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. Captured Killed. Wounded, and Missing. Total.

This was unavoidable, as the cavalry operated almost entirely within the enemy s lines, and without the support of other troops. Repeatedly, they made daring raids, which carried them a long distance from their own army, and in which any small detachment was always liable to be cut off by the vigilant enemy which hovered around the flanks and rear of the raiding column. The cavalry of the Union Armies, including both Eastern and Western, lost 10,596 officers and men killed or mortally wounded in action, and about 26,490 wounded who survived. CAVALRY CORPS.

In the Western Armies there was no corps organization composed of cavalry until Dcn-mlirr. lM 4, ah h< >u-li there were divisions of mounted troops in each military depart meiit. Hence the list of cavalry battles given here embraces those which occurred in all the operations west of the Allcghanies. It includes only the more important engagements of the cavalry ; it would be impossible to give all of them. The constant activity of scouting parties ; the aggressive vigilance of the mounted troops at the outposts ; the daring raids through hostile territory ; and the continuous forays incidental to border warfare, resulted in countless fights which cannot be enumerated here. These minor affairs were characterized by courageous, desperate fighting, and though the casualty lists were small, the loss of life in the aggregate was a serious feature of the war. Many fell in contests which are umnen- tioned in history, fighting in nameless battles, and filling unmarked graves. In December, 18(54, while on Thomas s campaign in Tennessee against Hood, the mounted troops were formed into an Army Corps of seven divisions, and Major-General J. H. Wilson was assigned to its command. At the battle of Nashville, four of these divisions-- McCook s, Hatch s, Johnson s and Knipe s were present. After the defeat and dismemberment of Hood s Army, Wilson entered Alabama with his corps of troopers in March, 18(55, and there fought the closing battles of the war. His four divisions were there commanded by Generals McCook, Hatch, Long and Upton. Although the last infantry engagement of the war occurred April S), 18(55, Wilson s Corps fought at Columbus, Ga., on the 10th of April, 1865, in a spirited engagement with Forrest s command. The most of Wilson s men fought dismounted, and the affair-- during which a daring and successful assault was made on the enemy s works was one of the brilliant achievements of the war. About this time, also, General Stoneman, with a body of cavalry under Generals Gillem a-nd Burbridge, made a raid through East Tennesee into Virginia. During Sherman s Atlanta campaign, the cavalry attached to his army was divided into four columns, commanded by Generals Stoneman, Kilpatrick, Garrard and McCook (E. M.). Kilpatrick s Division afterwards accompanied that part of Sherman s Army which marched through Georgia to the Sea, and thence through the Carolinas. In 1803, the cavalry attached to the Army of the Cumberland operated as a separate command, instead of being parceled out to brigades as previously. At Stone s River it was massed under the command of General David S. Stanley, its casualties in that battle amount ing to 38 killed, 103 wounded, and 215 missing or captured ; total, 350. It also lost 37 hoi-ses killed and 40 wounded. At Chickamauga, the cavalry forces were commanded by General Robert B. Mitchell, and comprised two divisions under Generals E. M. McCook and George Crook. The casualties in the Cavalry Corps at that battle aggregated 32 killed, 130 wounded, and 300 captured or missing : total, 4(58. In the Department of the Gulf, the cavalry attached to Banks s Red River Expedition, April, 1864, was commanded by General All>ert L. Lee, and comprised five brigades. Gen eral Lee was succeeded by General Richard Arnold. During Grant s Mississippi campaigns, Generals W. S. Smith and Cyrus Bussey were entrusted with important cavalry commands. a CHAPTER IX. FAMOUS DIVISIONS AND BEIGADES. V\/ ITH1N the corps organizations there were certain divisions and brigades which also achieved distinction, sometimes greater than that of the corps to which they belonged. Prominent among these was the famous division of the Pennsylvania Reserves - - the only division of three years men in the Union Armies which was composed entirely of troops from one State. PENNSYLVANIA RESERVES. The Reserves included thirteen regiments of infantry, divided into three brigades. The Thirteenth Reserves was the celebrated regiment known as the Bucktails, or First Pennsylva nia Rifles. In addition to the infantry, two other regiments were organized in connection with the division, the First Pennsylvania Cavalry and the First Pennsylvania Light Artil lery - - but after a few months they were detached, and the division proper included only the three brigades of infantry. The Reserves were prominently engaged at Dranesville, Mechan- icsville, Gaines s Mill, Charles City Cross Roads (Glendale), Manassas, South Mountain, Antie- tam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and in the Wilderness campaign. At Fredericksburg the division made a gallant fight, the losses being unusually severe in proportion to the number engaged. The division was commanded in turn by Generals McCall, Reynolds, Meade, and Crawford. It was attached, originally, to the First (McDowell s) Corps, but while on the Peninsula it served in the Fifth Corps. At Manassas, Antietam, and Fredericksburg, it was again in the First Corps. After Fredericksburg it was ordered to Washington to rest and recruit its shattered regiments, but it rejoined the Army on the Gettysburg campaign, when it was assigned to the Fifth Corps, in which it remained until mustered out. The casualties in this division do not amount to the heroic aggregate shown by some other divisions, but the percentage of loss was heavy ; the regiments became reduced in numbers, received but few recruits, and did not re-enlist. Governor Curtin requested the War Department to furlough the regiments, a few at a time promising that the State of Pennsylvania would return them to the field with full ranks ; but the Government refused. Many of the men, however, reenlisted, and when the division returned home at the expira tion of its three years, these reenlisted veterans, together with the recruits, were organized into two regiments, the One Hundred and Ninetieth and One Hundred and Ninety-first Pennsylvania --which served until the war ended. The battle of Bethesda Church, June 1, ] 864, was the last action in which the Reserves, as a division, were engaged. Two of the Reserve regiments served in West Virginia during the early part of 1864, dis tinguishing themselves at the battle of Cloyd s Mountain. The eleven remaining regiments were formed into two brigades, constituting Crawford s (3d) Division, Fifth Corps. (114) FAMOUS DIVISIONS AND BUKJADES. us SYKES S DIVISION. Another division remarkable for superiority in discipline and efficiency, was Sykes s Division of Regulars. The regular troops of the United States Army serving in the Army of the Potomac were formed into one division of two brigades, under command of Major-General George Sykes, who was succeeded in 1803 by General Romeyn B. Ayres. This division in cluded the Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Fourteenth, and Seven teenth United States Infantry. The regiments were small, seldom having over eight companies to a regiment, and often only three. At Gaines s Mill, and at Gettysburg, they sustained a terrible percentage of loss. The division became so reduced in numbers that it was withdrawn from the field in 1864. The largest losses in the division occurred in the Fourteenth Infantry ; but that might have been due to larger numbers. The Regular Division was, undoubtedly, the best officered of any division in the Army, the officers being selected solely with reference to their ability. In addition to those from the National Military Ac;idMii\ . a large miiiilii-r were |u-nii. >!.(! from ili ranks. Attached to the division of Regulars was an additional brigade, composed of volunteer regiments, which had demonstrated by their discipline and efficiency their tit ness to 1x3 asso ciated with the Regulars. Conspicuous among the volunteer regiments thus attached to the Regular Division was the Fifth New York, or Duryee Zouaves General Wan-en s old regiment. HANCOCK S DIVISION. But the hardest fighting and greatest loss of life occurred in the First Division of the ( or].-. - Hancock s old division --in which more men were killed and wounded than in any other division in the Union Army, east or west. Its losses aggregated 2.2*7 killed, 11,72-4 wounded,* and 4,833 missing ; total, 18,844. This division was the one which Rich ardson --its first commander led on the Peninsula, and at whose head he fell at Antietam ; the one which, under Hancock, made the bloody assault on Ma rye s Heights; which, under Caldwell, fought so well in the Gettysburg wheat-field ; which, under Barlow, surged over the enemy s works at Spotsylvania ; and which, under Miles, was in at the death in 18(55. Within its ranks were the Irish Brigade, and crack regiments like the Fifth New Hampshire, the One Hundred and Fortieth Pennsylvania, and the Sixty-fourth New York. Over 14,<mo men were killed or wounded in this division "during the war ; yet it never numbered 8,0oo muskets, and often could muster only half of that. After the charge on Marye s Heights it numbered only 2,800. Close to it, however, in point of loss stands Gibbon s (2d) Division f of the Second Corps, and Griffin s (1st) Division:}: of the Fifth Corps. The heaviest loss sustained by any division in anyone battle, occurred in Getty s (2di Division, Sixth Corps, at the Wilderness, where that divison lost 480 killed, 2,318 wounded, and 196 missing ; total, 2,994. Gibbon s Division, at Gettysburg, lost 344 killed, 1.1 :7 wounded, and 101 missing ; total, i,642, out of 3,773 engaged a loss of 43.5 per cent. Including the mortally wounded, t Formerly Sudgwick s.

The greatest loss of life in any one brigade during the war occurred in the Vermont Brigade of the Second (Getty s) Division, Sixth Corps. The regiments composing this organ ization, and their losses were : - Killed or Died of Wounds. 2d Vermont Infantry 224 3d Vermont Infantry 206 4th Vermont Infantry 162 5th Vermont Infantry 213 6th Vermont Infantry . . . 203 llth Vermont (1st H. Art y) ... 164 Total (during the war) 1,172 Its hardest fighting occurred at the Wilderness, May, 5-6, 1864, in which action it lost 195 killed, 1,017 wounded, and 57 missing; total, 1,269. Within a week it lost at the two actions of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, 266 killed, 1,299 wounded, and 80 missing; a total of 1,645, out of the 2,800 effective men* with which it crossed theRapidan, and a loss of 58 per cent. This loss fell on the first five regiments, as the Eleventh did not join the brigade until May 15, 1864. The brigade also distinguished itself by valuable services ren dered in the minor actions of Banks s Ford, Va., and Funkstowii, Md. It acquired a distinctive reputation, not only by its gallantry, but by reason of its being composed entirely of troops from one state. State brigades were rare in the Union Armies, the policy of the Government being to assign regiments from different states to the same brigade. Carroll s Brigade (Second Corps) contained, at one time, regiments from seven dif ferent states. In the Confederate Army an opposite policy prevailed, and, so far as possible, regiments from the same states were grouped in brigades. Another thing which enabled the Vermont Brigade to win its prominent place in history was its continuous, unbroken organi zation. It was formed at the beginning of the war with five regiments which served together through the entire war. When their term of enlistment expired, in 1864, they re-enlisted, and thus preserved the existence of the brigade. The only change in the organi zation was the addition of the Eleventh Regiment (1st Vt. H. Art y) which joined in May, 1864, it having served previously in the forts about Washington. This feature of a continu ous organization is an important one in view of the fact that it was the only one, out of two hundred or more brigades, which served through the war without being broken up, or reor ganized. The same five regiments of the old Vermont Brigade which picketed the Potomac in 1861, marched together at the Grand Review in 1865. It was commanded successively by General Wm. F. Smith, formerly of the Third Vermont ; General W. T. Brooks ; Col. Henry Whiting, Second Vermont ; and General Lewis A. Grant, formerly of the Fifth Vermont. At one time the Twenty-sixth New Jersey, a nine months regiment, was attached to the brig ade for a few months, but it was a temporary arrangement only. The "old" Brigade should not be confounded with the Vermont Brigade (Stannard s) which was so prominently engaged at Gettysburg. This latter organization was in the First Corps, and was composed of nine months troops, Gettysburg being its only battle. * Adjuttmt Gonerars liuport, Vermont ; 1SC4.

The brigade proper contained only the five regiments mentioned ; and, yet, its aggregate of losses is exceeded in only one instance. At Manassas, under command of General (ribbon, the first four regiments named lost 148 killed, 626 wounded, and 120 missing ; total, 894, out of about 2,000 engaged. At Gettysburg, General Meredith commanding, the five regi ments were engaged, losing 162 killed, 724 wounded, and 267 missing ; a total of 1,153 casual ties, out of 1,883 engaged, or 61 percent. Most of the missing at Gettysburg were killed or wounded. The Iron Brigade was also hotly engaged at South Mountain, Antietam, The Wilderness and Spotsylvania. It was organized in August, 1861, at which time it was com posed of the three Wisconsin regiments and the Nineteenth Indiana. In October, 1862, the Twenty-fourth Michigan was added. The Second Wisconsin and Nineteenth Indiana did not reenlist, and so were mustered out, respectively, in June and August, 1864. During the Wil derness campaign the Seventh Indiana was attached to the brigade, but it was mustered out in August. The First New York Shaq)shooters Battalion was also attached to the brigade at one time, joining it in the fall of 1863. In February, 1865, the brigade was broken up, the Twenty-fourth Michigan having been ordered to Baltimore. The Sixth and Seventh Regi ments remained in the First Brigade, Third Division (Crawford s), Fifth Corps, while the Sharpshooters Battalion was assigned elsewhere. General John Gibbon commanded the Iron Brigade at Manassas, South Mountain, and Antietam ; General Meredith, at Gettys burg ; and General Cutler at the Wilderness. Cutler was succeeded in 1864, by General Edward S. Bragg, formerly Colonel of the Sixth Wisconsin --an officer of marked ability and an intrepid soldier. There was another organization, in the Army of the Potomac, known as the Iron Brigade, and it was in the same division with the " Iron Brigade of the West." It was composed of the Second United States Sharpshooters, the Twenty-second, Twenty-fourth, Thirtieth, and Eighty-fourth New York, forming Hatch s (1st) Brigade, First Division, First Corps. But the Twenty -second, Twenty-fourth, and Thirtieth New York were two years regiments, and were mustered out in May, 1863, thereby breaking up the organization. The Eighty-fourth New York (14th Brooklyn) was an exceptionally fine regiment, while the other regiments in the brigade made a reputation, also, as efficient commands. It seems strange that two brigades in the same division should adopt like synonyms ; but, in justice to Hatch s Brigade, it should be stated that it was the original Iron Brigade, and that Gibbon s Brigade was not known by that title until after Antietam, at which time it was so designated by a war cor respondent, who was apparently unaware of his lack of originality. REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. IRISH BRIGADE. The Irish Brigade was, probably, the best known of any brigade organization, it having made an unusual reputation for dash and gallantry. The remarkable precision of its evolu tions under fire ;* its desperate attack on the impregnable wall at Marye s Heights ; its never failing promptness on every field ; and its long continuous service, made for it a name inseparable from the history of the war. It belonged to the First Division of the Second Corps, and was numbered as the Second Brigade. The regiments which properly belonged to the Irish Brigade, together with their losses, were : - Killed and Died of Wounds. 63d New York Infantry _ 156 69th New York Infantry,- 259 88th New York Infantry, 151 28th Massachusetts Infantry _ 250 116th Pennsylvania Infantry . 145 Total (during the war) 961 The Irish Brigade lost over 4,000 men in killed and wounded ; it being more men than ever belonged to the brigade at any one time. With the exception of the Twenty-eighth Massachusetts, the regiments were small. At the start they were not recruited to the maximum, but left New York with about 800 men each. The three New York regiments became so reduced in numbers that, at Gettysburg, they were consolidated into two com panies each ; the One Hundred and Sixteenth Pennsylvania had been consolidated into four companies. The brigade, which was organized in 1861, consisted originally of three New York regi ments, which selected numbers corresponding to those of certain famous Irish regiments in the British Army. The One Hundred and Sixteenth Pennsylvania and Twenty-eighth Massachusetts were added in the fall of 1862. Each of the five regiments carried green flags, in addition to the national colors. While on the Peninsular and Antietam campaigns, the Twenty-Ninth Massachusetts was attached to the brigade, but after Antietam it was detached and its place was taken by the Twenty-eighth Massachusetts. In September, 1864, the remnant of the Seventh New York Heavy Artillery was added ; but it was detached in February, 1865, and the Fourth New York Heavy Artillery took its place. In July, 1864, the One Hundred and Sixteenth Pennsylvania was transferred to the Fourth Brigade. But the Irish Brigade was composed, substantially, as above ; and, each of the regiments having reenlisted, its service was continuous and unbroken. It was commanded, in turn, by General Thomas Francis Meagher, Colonel Patrick Kelly (killed), General Thos. A.. Smyth f (killed), Colonel Richard Byrnes (killed), and General Robert Nugent. Mention should also be made of the following named brigades, and their losses : "A severe and well-sustained musketry contest then ensued, continuing until the ammunition was nearly expended, after which this brigade (Meagher s Irish Brigade), having suffered severely, losing many valuable officers and men, was relieved by the brigade of General Caldwell, which until this time had remained in support. Caldwell s Brigade advanced to within a short distance of the rear of Meagher s Brigade. The latter then broke by companies to the rear, and the former by companies to the front, and in this manner passed their respective lines." [Hancock s Official Report.

T is not claimed that these are the Three Hundred Fighting Regiments of the Army ; but, that they are three hundred regiments which evidently did considerable fighting. There were, undoubtedly, others which did equally good or, perhaps, better fighting, and their gallant ser vices will be fully recognized by the writers who are conversant with their history. But, for lack of other information, this chapter deals only with those which sustained the heaviest losses in battle. It includes every regiment in the Union Armies which lost over 130 in killed and died of wounds during the war, together with a few whose losses were somewhat smaller, but whose percentage of killed entitles them to a place in the list. It may be sug gested that large casualty lists are not necessarily indicative of the fighting qualities of a regiment ; that on many occasions regiments have rendered valuable service and achieved a brilliant success with but slight loss. Granted, as regards some particular action or instance ; but, in the long run active service brings its many scars ; where the musketry was the hot test, the dead lay thickest ; and there is no better way to find the fighting regiments than to follow up the bloody trail which marked their brave advance. The losses in these three hundred regiments have been compiled from their muster-out- rolls, and counted name by name ; the total of the deaths is, in each case, correct. At times, it was difficult to decide as to the company to which a death should be tallied : for men were often transferred from one company to another, and, where companies were consolidated, a dead man s name often appeared in two or more companies in the same regiment. Then, again, in dividing the deaths among the different battles it was sometimes difficult to ascertain the action in which the wound was received, as the date of death was often given, instead of the date when the wound was received. In such cases the death was tallied to the last battle previous to the man s death, that is, the last battle in which his regiment was engaged. In some instances the rolls bear the names of men marked simply as " killed in action ;" these are recorded here as killed at Place Unknown. But these inaccuracies are few and slight, leaving the main result substantially correct as to each regiment. In some regiments the rolls were in such condition, owing to the consolidation of com panies and accessions of new companies bearing the same letters as the old ones, or to the reorganization consequent upon the reeiilistment of the regiment, that the regular form of tabulation was not practicable, and, so, after stating the total number of deaths --omitting company losses the list of battles is given, accompanied by the official casualty lists of killed, wounded, and missing, instead of the number of " killed and died of wounds." Where the casualties are stated thus, in "killed, wounded, and missing," the wounded includes the mortally wounded. This must be borne in mind to properly understand the nature of the loss. Where it could be done with accuracy, the number of killed and mortally wounded in each action is given in the regimental tabulations of these three hundred regiments ; and this is done without confusing it with an additional statement of wounded and missing. The (122) THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 123 number of wounded is not always an exact, definite statement, owing to the slightly wounded which are counted in some regiments and not in others. It is sometimes difficult to draw the line between wounds, slight injuries, and lack of injury. The missing is a still more indefinite quantity, including, as it does, the captured, the missing, the stragglers, and, very often, many of the killed and wounded. But there is nothing indefinite ahout the status of the dead soldier, and, so, for purpose of comparison, it is better that the losses of the various regiments be stated in killed or died of wounds," and in that only. When the total of the killed and died of wounds in any regiment is known, it is very easy to arrive at the number of its wounded, for the proportion, in the aggregate, is a definite and well known one, as has been previously shown.* True, this proportion will not always hold good for a regiment in the instance of some one battle ; but, in all the battles of a regiment it will be found correct, the variations correcting themselves in the aggregate. In these three hundred regiments, the title of each is accompanied by the name of its brigade, division, and corps. Of course, many regiments served in more than one brigade, and each brigade had several commanders. Still, in each case, the brigade mentioned will assist largely in identifying the regiment, or recalling to the hasty reader the campaigns in which it served. Lack of space debars the tedious details necessary to trace properly the changing organizations to which most regiments belonged. The loss by disease in Confederate prisons is stated in many instances, but, at the same time, it is included in the column of loss by disease, accidents, &c." In stating the total enrollments, care has been taken to subtract transferred men who were shifted from one company to another in the same regiment. Deductions are also made for men transferred to a regiment after the war had closed, many regiments having received large accessions from disbanded organizations just before their own muster-out. In com paring these enrollments with the muster-out-rolls, this fact must receive attention; other wise, there would be an apparent discrepancy. The bands are also omitted in the enrollments as stated here, as all regimental bands were ordered discontinued, and were mustered out during the summer of 1802. After that, no bands were enlisted, or paid as such, except brigade bands ; and, if a regiment had a band, it was formed of enlisted men, or company musicians, detailed for that purpose. In addition to the battles mentioned, in which a regiment lost men killed or mortally wounded, the engagements at which the regiments was " present " are also given. In some of the latter, losses were often sustained in wounded or missing men, but, as none of these wounded or missing are recorded among those who died of wounds, the battle does not appear in the tabulated list. In giving these additional battles at which a regiment was "Present, also," intentional omission is made of a certain class of minor affairs which are often used by regimental historians to unduly swell their list of battles, but which, if given here, would only confuse or mislead a disinterested reader. In the cavalry, however, these minor actions were so frequent, and resulted in so many casualties in wounded and captured men, that they form an important feature in the history of each mounted regiment. But the brief sketches given in the succeeding pages afford no room for the long and honorable list of additional actions in which each cavalry regiment participated, actions replete with meritorious details, although they did not result in any loss of life. Still, the reader should tear these facts in mind to rightly appreciate the services rendered by the mounted regiments. In most of the three hundred regiments mentioned in this chapter the figures opposite the list of battles show only the number who were killed or who died of wounds. The num ber of the killed, wounded, and missing, for the more important losses of each regiment, will be found in the notes appended in each case. See Page 94. 124 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

This regiment sustained the heaviest loss, killed in action, of any cavalry regiment in the entire army. Besides the actions mentioned, it participated in several in which it lost men wounded or captured. Like all cavalry commands the First Maine lost many who were captured while on outpost duty, or while foraging and raiding. within the enemy s lines. Of these, 145 died of disease while in Confederate prisons. Colonel Douty, a brave and gallant officer, was killed while leading a successful charge at Aldie, Va. At St. Mary s Church, Va., the First Maine made a desperate fight against great odds, losing 10 officers and 56 men, killed, wounded, and missing, out of 260 who were engaged. Another hard fight occurred at the Boydton Road ; and at Cat Tail Run March 31, 1865 the regiment sustained its severest loss. In September, 1864, the First D. C. Cavalry was consolidated with it, bringing its numbers up to 1,800 men. TMKEE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 125 FIRST MAINE HEAVY ARTILLERY. MOTT S BRIGADE, BIKNEY S DIVISION, SECOND CORPS. (1)Coi..

Of the 2,047 regiments in the Union Army, the First Maine Heavy Artillery sustained the greatest loss in battle. Not only was the number killed the largest, but the percentage of killed was exceeded in only one instance. Again, its loss at Petersburg, June i8th, was the greatest of any one regiment in any one action, during the war. It made the charge that day with about 900 muskets, losing 632* in killed and wounded. Only a month previous, the regiment had suffered a terrible loss in its gallant fight on the Fredericksburg Pike, near Spotsylvania, May 19, 1864, where it lost 82 killed and 394 wounded ; total, 476. Amjng the killed were six officers, and in the battle of June i8th, just referred to, thirteen officers were killed or mortally wounded, besides twelve others who were hit. This regiment was raised, principally, in the Penobscot Valley, and was organized August 21, 1862, as the Eighteenth Maine Infantry. Major Daniel Chaplin, of the Second Maine, was appointed Colonel. He fell, mortally wounded, August 18, 1864, at Strawberry Plains, Va. (Deep Bottom). The regiment left the State on August 24, 1862, and was changed to heavy artillery in December. It remained in the defences of Washington until May, 1864, when it joined Grant s Army at Spotsylvania. All its losses occurred within a period of ten months. During the spring campaign of 1865, it was in De Trobriand s Brigade of Mott s Divi sion, Second Corps. * The official report states the loss at 580 ; the Stato Reports put it at 60t 126 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Recruited mostly from the Kennebec lumbermen ; the men were of a large, powerful type, their aver age weight in one company being 1 70 pounds. The regiment was organized at Augusta, arriving at Washington June 7, 1861. It fought at First Bull Run, and a year later was engaged in another bloody contest on. the same field. During 1862 it served in Birney s Brigade of Kearny s Division; it was in that command at Fair Oaks, where it made a gallant and successful charge, but lost nearly one-third of the number engaged ; the loss was 8 killed, 71 wounded, and 3 missing. It participated in all the battles and marches of the Third Corps, becoming sadly reduced in number by deaths, wounds, and the sickness incidental to arduous campaigns. When it entered the field at Gettysburg, it numbered 14 officers and 196 rifles ; of this number it lost 18 killed, 59 wounded, and 45 missing. Under command of Colonel Lakeman, it lendered good service in that battle ; on the second day, in company with Berdan s Sharpshooters, it made an advance outside the lines which developed the enemy s position and elicited timely warning of the attack on Sickles Corps. The tenacity with which the Third Maine held that skirmish line at Gettysburg is worthy of note. The regiment did some more hard fighting in the Wilderness campaign, during which it fought in Hancock s Second Corps. Lt. Col. Edwin Burt was killed at the Wilderness, and Major William C. Morgan at the North Anna. While inline at Cold Harbor, the regiment was ordered homo, and the recruits transferred to the Seventeenth Maine.

Organi/.ed at Rockland, Me., May 8, 1861. Leaving the State on June 2oth, it went into action, a month later, at First Bull Run. In September, 1861, a mutiny occurred in the regiment, which resulted in the transfer of about 100 men to another command. The men mutinied because they had enlisted for three months, or supposed the regiment was a three-months one, and so objected to being held for three years. Similar irregu larities on the part of recruiting and mustering-in officers had become a frequent cause for complaint throughout the Army. In this case Company H was disbanded, and its place filled, in November by a new company of recruits. The regiment entered upon the Peninsular campaign in Birney Brigade ol Kearny s Division, Third Corps. It fought in this command, also, during Pope s campaign, its losses at Manassas including Chantilly- amounting to 14 killed, 85 wounded, and 15 missing. At Fredericksburg, it lost 22 killed, 66 wounded, and 32 missing; at Gettysburg, n killed, 59 wounded, and 74 missing. In 1864, the division was transferred to the Second Corps. In the battle of the Wilderness the regiment was badly cut up; 32 were killed, 136 wounded, and 3 missing. The Fourth Maine lost three Majors killed in action : Major Pitcher was killed at Fredericksburg ; Major Whitcomb fell, mortally wounded, at Gettysburg, and Major Grey was killed at the Wilderness. The term of service of the regiment expired on the i5th of June, 1864, when it was ordered home for muster-out, and the recruits remaining in the field were transferred to the Nineteenth Maine. 128 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. There was no more brilliant action in the war than the affair at Rappahannock Station, Va., Nov. 7, 1863. The Sixth Maine was the most prominent in that successful fight, although gallantly assisted by the other regiments of the brigade. The enemy, about 2,000 strong, occupied an intrenched position; the Sixth Maine, with uncapped muskets, supported by the Fifth Wisconsin, stormed their works, and springing over them were engaged in a desperate struggle, some of the fighting being hand to hand ; bayonets were freely used, and in one case an officer thrust his sabre through an antagonist. Good fighting was also done at other points of the line, the total result being a brilliant victory, with large captures of men and material. But the brunt of the fight fell on the Sixth. It lost 38 killed, and 101 wounded, out of the 321 present in action ; and of 21 officers engaged, 16 were killed or wounded. This was not the first time that the Sixth had leaped the enemy s breastworks against the blazing muzzles of a line of rifles. In the successful assault on Marye s Heights, May 3, 1863, the flag of the Sixth was the first to wave over the enemy s works. The regiment was then in the famous " Light Division " of the Sixth Corps, and did not fire a shot during the charge, but carried the works with the bayonet ; and mention is made of one man in the Sixth who bayoneted two adversaries, and then brained a third with the butt of a musket. The loss of the regiment in that battle was 23 killed, in wounded, and 35 missing. Major Haycock and four captains were among the killed. The regiment was mustered out August 15, 1864, i ts three years term of service having expired. TllUEE Hl NDRRD FldHTINU ItKUlMENTS. SEVENTH MAINE INFANTRY.

NOTES. Organized at Augusta, Me., August 21, 1861, from companies recruited in various parts of the State. It proceeded immediately to Baltimore, and thence, after a two weeks stay, to Washington. It encamped there two weeks, and then, on Nov. 7, 1861, marched to Lewinsville, Va., where it performed outpost duty until the spring of 1862. It joined in the advance on Manassas, and then embarked for the Peninsula. It was then in Davidson s (3d) Brigade, Wm F. Smith s Division, Fourth Corps ; this division was transferred in May to the newly-formed Sixth Corps. The loss by disease and sickness was so great that the regiment took only 181 men into action at Antietam ; it was commanded in that battle by Major Hyde, and lost there 1 2 killed, 63 wounded, and 20 missing, over half of those engaged. Becoming much reduced in numbers, it was ordered home to Maine, in October, 1862, to recruit. Five companies B, C, I), I and K. under command of Lt.-Col. Selden Conner, rejoined the corps in January, 1863, and were engaged at Fredericksburg, May 3, 1863, with a loss of 12 killed, 49 wounded, and 31 missing. In May, 1864, the regiment then in Getty s Division entered the Wilderness campaign, where it took part in the bloody contest which was waged by the Sixth Corps. From May 5th to May i8th, it lost 310 in killed and wounded. Its last battle occurred at Fort Stevens, within the city limits of Washington, where it assisted in repulsing Early s attack. Major Jones was killed in this action. Its term of service expired August 21, 1864, while in the Shenandoah, and the recruits were transferred to the First Maine Veteran Infantry. 9 130 BEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

The regiment left the State Sept. 10, 1 86 1, and in the following month sailed from Annapolis with Gen eral T. W. Sherman s expedition to Port Royal, S. C. Landing at Hilton Head, Nov. 8, 1861, it remained on duty in that Military Department over two years. During its stay there it took part in the reduction of Fort Pulaski, the occupation of Jacksonville, Fla., and was present at the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Most of the time, however, was passed in garrison duty at Hilton Head, and Beaufort, S. C. In the meantime, the regiment received about 300 recruits and 200 conscripts, which kept its ranks up to the maximum, although the loss by disease had been very large. In March, 1864, the proposal for reenlistment was accepted by 16 officers and 330 men, who returned to Maine on the thirty days furlough granted in such cases. On April 26, 1864, tne regiment joined Butler s Army, then on the James River, Va., and entered upon the campaign against Richmond, having been assigned to White s (3d) Brigade, Ames s (3d) Division, Tenth Corps. It was actively engaged at Drewry s Bluff, where it lost 3 killed, 64 wounded, and 29 missing. Colonel Boynton, who was in command, was severely wounded, and Major Me Arthur succeeded to the command. Four days later it was engaged at Ware Bottom Church, with a loss of 83, out of the 190 present in action. At Cold Harbor, the regiment was in Stedman s Brigade, 2d Division, Eighteenth Corps, and sustained there a loss of 12 killed, 87 wounded, and 2 missing. In December, it was assigned to Fairchild s (4th) Brigade, Foster s (ist) Division, Twenty- fourth Corps, in which command it fought in the final battles of the war.

C. NOTES. The Ninth left the State Sept. 24, 1861, and in the next month sailed from Fort Monroe for Hilton Head, S. C. The year 1862 was spent in garrison duty at Fernandina, Fla. ; in January, 1863, it returned to Hilton Head, where it remained on picket duty until June ; then it joined the forces operating in Charleston Harbor. Led by Colonel Emery, it participated in the assault of Strong s Brigade on Fort Wagner, and in the opening fight on Morris Island captured two of the enemy s flags. During the Siege of Fort Wagner its casualties, in the assaults and in the trenches, amounted to 189 in killed, wounded, and missing. In October, 1863, the regi ment moved to Black Island, S. C. While there, 416 of the original members reenlisted and received their furlough. On April 18, 1864, the Ninth proceeded to Gloucester Point, Va., where it was assigned to Ames s Division, Tenth Corps. Ascending the James River, the troops landed at Bermuda Hundred, and advanced immediately on the enemy s lines.

NOTES. Organized August 14, 1862, with Captain C. W. Tilden, of the Second Maine, as its Colonel, who com manded it during its entire service. Arriving at Washington on August 21, 1862, it was ordered immediately on active duty in Maryland. The fatigue and exposure of a campaign without the customary preparatory service cost the regiment many lives, and sent large numbers to the hospital. It was assigned to Root s (ist) Brigade, Gibbon s (2d) Division, First Corps, and marched to Fredericksburg with that command. This was its first bat tle ; but its ranks had become so reduced by the sickness, common among raw troops in active service, that only 427 were present in that action, of which it lost 27 killed, 170 wounded, and 34 missing; of the latter none returned. Another severe loss was sustained at Gettysburg. Of the 248 officers and men engaged in that bat tle, the casualties amounted to 9 killed, 59 wounded, and 164 captured. At the close of the fight, 2 officers and 15 men alone remained; Colonel Tilden was taken prisoner with his men. Many of the wounded died and nearly all the amputations proved fatal. In March, 1864, the division was transferred to the Fifth Corps; in June the regiment was transferred to Crawford s (3d) Division, and to Baxter s (2d) Brigade of the same corps. It fought in all the battles of the Fifth Corps in 1864-5, its hardest fighting occurring at Spotsylvania, where Major Leavitt fell, mortally wounded. Another severe fight took place at Hatcher s Run (Dabney s Mills) Feb ruary 6, 1865, in which the regiment lost 3 killed, 60 wounded, and n missing. * Regimental history says 90 ;- killed 50, mortally wounded 34.

NOTES. Recruited in the counties of York, Cumberland, Oxford, and Androscoggin. It arrived at Washington August 23, 1862, where it was engaged in drill and garrison duty until October, when it crossed into Virginia and joined Berry s (3d) Brigade, Birney s (ist) Division, Third Corps. The regiment made a creditable record at Fredericksburg, and at Chancellorville it sustained a loss of 10 killed, 65 wounded and 38 missing. At Gettys burg, Lt.-Col. C. B. Merrill commanding, it was engaged in Sickles s fight on the second day, losing 18 killed, 112 wounded, and 3 missing. In March, 1864, Birney s Division was transferred to the Second Corps, the regi ment being placed in General Alex. Hays s Brigade of that division Second Brigade, Third Division, Second Army Corps. Led by Colonel West, it crossed the Rapidan with 507 men, and fought under Grant at the battle of the Wilderness, where its casualties amounted to 22 killed, 155 wounded, and 15 missing; total, 192. In June it was transferred to the First Brigade, with which it took part in the storming of Petersburg, June 16-18, 1864. Its losses in those bloody and disastrous assaults were 13 killed, 66 wounded, and 5 missing. In June, 1 29 men were received by a transfer from the Third Maine, the term of that regiment having expired ; even with this accession, the ranks showed but little over 200 muskets in line. The Seventeenth sustained the heaviest loss in battle of any infantry regiment from Maine. It was mustered out on June 4, 1865. REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. NINETEENTH MAINE INFANTRY.

The field officers had already served with honorable distinction in other Maine regiments. It arrived at Washington August 29, 1862, having been recruited, organized, and equipped within four weeks, a characteristic common to most of the regiments raised under the second call for troops. It was assigned to Gorman s (rst) Brigade, Howard s (2d) Division, Second Corps, with which command it was under fire for the first time, in a reconnoissance at Charlestown, W. Va., October 16, 1862 ; and, again, in the battle of Fredericksburg, where several of the men were wounded. Under command of Colonel Heath, the regiment was conspicuously engaged at Gettysburg, where it faced a./eu cT enfer that cost it 29 killed, 166 wounded, and 4 missing ; a total of 199, out of 440 present, all told. During Grant s opening campaign the brigade was commanded by General Alex. S. Webb, of Gettysburg fame. The regiment entered this campaign with 22 officers and 468 men; losing at the Wilderness 22 killed, 130 wounded, and 6 missing. The recruits left in the field by the Fourth Maine were transferred to the Nineteenth in June, 1864 ; there were 277 of them, nominally, but only 57 of them actually joined.

NOTES. The Twentieth Maine could not well be other than a good regiment, under the tuition and lead of such colonels as Ames and Chamberlain. Ames, who was destined to renown as the central figure at Fort Fisher, left the regiment in a few months, but not until he had lead the men in battle, and given them the benefit of his military training and experience. Colonel Chamberlain, a professor at Bowdoin, left his chair in spite of strenuous re monstrance and opposition, and tendered his services to the State. He, also, made a brilliant reputation as a colonel and a general, and is quoted as having said that " he never left one of his wounded in the hands of the enemy, nor one of his dead without fitting burial." Chamberlain anil his men did much to save the day at Gettysburg, by their prompt and plucky action at Little Round Top. Holding the extreme left on that field, they repulsed a well-nigh successful attempt of the enemy to turn that flank, an episode which forms a conspicuous feature in the history of that battle. Their loss at Gettysburg was 29 killed and 96 wounded. General Bartlett commanded the brigade 3d Brigade, ist Division, 5th A. C. at the Wilderness, where the regiment was hotly engaged, May 5th and 6th, with a loss of 13 killed, 82 wounded, and 16 missing. About 200 recruits were received in 1864; in June, 1864, there were only about 275 muskets for duty. It was engaged at Five Forks, with a heavy percentage of loss, and was skirmishing under fire when the surrender took place at Appomattox. After the war closed, the rolls were swelled by accessions from disbanded regiments. 136 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. THIRTY-FIRST MAINE INFANTRY.

NOTES. Organized at Augusta, Me., in March and April, 1864. Leaving the State, April i8th, it proceeded to Alexandria, Va., where it was assigned to the 2nd Brigade (General S. G. Griffin s), 2d Division (General R. B. Potter s), Ninth Corps. In less than a month after leaving home the regiment went into action at the Wilder ness, and on May i2th was hotly engaged at Spotsylvania, where it lost n killed, 94 wounded, and i missing. In the fighting at Bethesda Church, June 3d, it lost 15 killed and 39 wounded, and behaved with such gallantry that General Griffin complimented it in orders. Under command of Colonel White, the regiment rendered efficient service in the assault on Petersburg, June 1 7th, and at the Mine explosion it was among the first to enter the enemy s works. Its losses at the Mine were 9 killed, 26 wounded, and 51 captured or missing. In October there were only about 60 men left on duty ; then two new companies joined the regiment, which were designated as L and M, and in December the regiment received an accession by the consolidation with it of the Thirty- second Maine ; 485 men were thus transferred on the rolls, of whom only 1 8 1 were present for duty. In less than one year s time the Thirty-first Maine lost 674 men, killed or wounded in action, three-fourths of this loss occurring in May, June and July, 1864. After the war had ended the regiment was transferred to the Nineteenth Corps, and stationed at Savannah, Ga., until August 2oth, 1865, when it was mustered out. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS.

Arriving at Washington June 23, 1861, it encamped there a few weeks, and then marched away to First Bull Run, with Burnside s Brigade of Hunter s Division. It passed the succeeding fall and winter in Maryland, on the lower Potomac. In the spring of 1862 it took the field, then in Grover s (ist) Brigade, Hooker s (zd) Division, Third Corps. Hooker withstood the brunt of the attack at the battle of Williamsburg, in which the Second lost 1 6 killed, 68 wounded, and 19 missing. Upon its return from the Peninsula, Grover s Brigade was hotly engaged at Manassas, where the regiment, fighting on that familiar field, lost 16 killed, 87 wounded, and 30 missing, out of 332 present in action. The Second was ordered home on February 26, 1863, and was absent a couple of months, rejoining the Army in June, while on its way to Gettysburg, at which time it was assigned to the Jersey Brigade of Humphreys s (2d) Division. It fought in the Peach Orchard, at Gettysburg, and while there, just before the opening of the fight on the second day, the roll was called. Only eight men were absent from their places, while 24 officers and 330 men answered to their names. Of that number, the regiment lost 20 killed, 137 wounded, and 36 missing ; of the 24 officers, 7 were killed and 14 wounded. One wounded captain, shot in the forehead, wandered into the enemy s lines, where he died and was buried by some brother masons. In August, the regiment was assigned to guard duty at Point Lookout, Md., where it remained until May, 1864, when it took the field as a part of Weitzel s (2d) Division, Eighteenth Corps. 138 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

After a short stay, successively, at Long Island, Washington, Annapolis, and Fort Monroe, it arrived November 4th at Port Royal, S. C. Re maining at Hilton Head and its vicinity, the regiment was not under fire until the affair at Secessionville, June 1 6, 1862, where, under command of Colonel Jackson, it established a reputation for gallantry and efficiency. It took 623 officers and men into that action, sustaining a loss of 9 killed, 93 wounded, and 2 missing; total 104. In 1863 it participated in the operations in Charleston Harbor, and in April, 1864, sailed from Florida to join the Army of the James in Virginia. On the 6th of May, 1864, it landed at Bermuda Hundred with about 800 men, Lt.-Col. Josiah J. Plimpton in command. It was engaged at Drewry s Bluff, May i4th, a memorable day in the history of the Third New Hampshire. In that battle it made a brilliant and successful charge, but with a loss of over 200 men, the loss occurring in less than twenty minutes time. In July it was armed with Spencer rifles, a breech-loader of rapid and effective fire. At Deep Bottom the regiment lost half its number (12 killed, 71 wounded, and 9 missing), Colonel Plimpton falling, with a bullet through his heart, while leading a charge. The regiment was ordered home a few days later ; the recruits and reenlisted men remaining in the field preserved the organization. The Third fought at Fort Fisher then in Abbott s Brigade and on July 2oth, 1865, was mustered out of service. THKKK HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. FIFTH NEW HAMPSHIRE INFANTRY.

NOTES. Sustained the greatest loss in battle of any infantry or cavalry regiment, in the whole Union Army. Known to the corps and division commanders as a reliable regiment, it was the more often called upon to face the enemy s fire, or assigned to the post of danger. The rolls were encumbered in 1864 with the names of conscripts and mercenaries ; 420 of them deserted, most of them before joining the command. The regiment was always well handled. Colonel Cross was an experienced officer who sustained an excellent reputation in the corps ; he fell at Gettysburg while in command of the brigade, having remarked to Hancock as he entered the field, that it would be his last fight. Colonel Crafts, formerly a sergeant in the Second, passed through all the gradations of rank to the colonelcy. The greatest loss, numerically, occurred at Cold Harbor, where the regiment, under Colonel Hapgood, entered the enemy s works, but for a lack of support, was forced to relinquish its position. Hapgood took 577 men into that action, of whom 202 were killed or wounded. At Fredericksburg, under Cross, the regiment lost 20 killed, 154 wounded, and 19 missing ; total, 193, out of 303 present. At Gettysburg, Hapgood commanding, it lost 27 killed, and 53 wounded, out of the 12 officers and 165 men engaged. The regiment served throughout the war in the First Brigade, First Division, Second Corps. 140 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. SIXTH NEW HAMPSHIRE INFANTRY.

It sailed from Annapolis, Jan. 7, 1862, with the Burnside expedition, disembarking at Hatteras Island, where it went into a camp of instruction. After some active service with Reno s Brigade in North Carolina, it returned to Virginia with the Ninth Corps, in August, 1862. It had been assigned in the meantime to Nagle s (ist) Brigade, Reno s (2d) Division, in which command it fought at Manassas, where it lost 30 killed, 1 1 7 wounded, and 70 missing, out of 450 engaged ; the missing ones were killed or wounded men who fell into the enemy s hands. In March, 1863, the Ninth Corps was transferred to the West, where the regiment spent two pleasant months on post duty in Kentucky. It then went to Mississippi where it participated in the siege operations about Vicksburg and Jackson ; thence it returned to Kentucky, and in the spring of 1864 rejoined the army of the Potomac in Virginia. While in Kentucky December, 1863 two hundred and eighty-eight of the men reenlisted, and were furloughed, leaving the recruits in camp. The regiment took the field with Grant, in May, 1864, as a part of General S. G. Griffin s ( 2 d) Brigade, Potter s ( 2 d) Division. Lt.-Col. Henry H. Pearson was killed at the North Anna. In the siege of Petersburg, the regiment occupied an exposed position in the trenches, losing men daily ; its losses there, from June 2 oth to August 2 oth, 1864, amounted to 18 killed and 108 wounded; being under fire constantly, the nervous strain and fatigue was terrible.

Eleven officers of the Seventh New Hampshire were killed in the assault on Fort Wagner. This was the largest number of officers killed in any one action of the war, belonging to any one regiment. After the naval bombardment of Fort Wagner had ceased July i, 1863 the assaulting column of troops was formed on the beach in the fast-deepening gloom of the southern twilight, and, then, when the night had already set in, advanced against the fort, guided only by the flashes of the garrison s rifles and the fire which streamed from the rmu/les of the heavy guns. Although the assault was a failure, some of the men succeeded in forcing an entrance, Colonel Putnam, who commanded the Second Brigade, falling dead within the fort. The casualties amounted to 41 killed, 1 19 wounded, and 56 missing ; of the latter, few ever returned. In February, 1864, the regiment, 650 strong, sailed from Hilton Head with Seymour s Division, bound for Florida. It was engaged on the 2oth, in the disastrous affair at Olustee, Fla., with a loss of 209 killed, wounded, and missing. In April, 1864, it proceeded to Virginia, where it joined the Army of the James, taking an honorable part in all the battles of the Tenth Corps. Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas A. Henderson fell, mortally wounded, at Deep Bottom. The regiment participated in the successful storming of Fort Fisher, after which it remained in North Carolina, being then a part of Abbott s Brigade, Tenth Corps.

NOTES. Organized at Concord, N. H. Leaving the State August 25, 1862, it was engaged, within twenty days, at the battle of South Mountain, Md. Its casualties in that fight were 29 killed and wounded. Though a new regiment and under fire for the first time, it took a creditable part in the action; it was then in Nagle s (ist) Brigade, Sturgis (2d) Division, Ninth Corps. Three days later it fought at Antietam, with a loss of 10 killed, and 49 Wounded. At Fredericksburg, under command of Colonel Titus, the Ninth was engaged, losing 4 killed, 68 wounded, and 12 missing. In March, 1863, the Ninth Corps moved to Kentucky, and was stationed at various parts of the State. It was a pleasant change from the war-worn fields of Virginia, the men enjoying the good food and quarters there provided. In June the Ninth Corps joined Grant s army, then besieging Vicks- burg, but returned in August to Kentucky. The spring of 1864 found the Corps in Virginia again. At Spotsyl vania, the gallant old regiment was hotly engaged, holding its position against a desperate counter-charge of the enemy ; so close were the two lines that their rifles flashed in each other s faces. Two companies were on the skirmish line; the eight companies in action about 400 men lost 41 killed, 95 wounded, and 48 missing. The regiment remained in Potter s Division until the close of the war. * Of the recruits, 466 deserted, most of them (444) while on their way to the regiment. They were conscripts.

NOTES. Recruited under the second call for troops, leaving New Hampshire on September 1 1, 1862. After two weeks drill on Arlington Heights, Va., it joined General McClellan s Army (Oct. 4th) then at Harper s Ferry, and was brigaded with General Ferrero s command, Sturgis s (2d) Division, Ninth Corps. The Eleventh saw its first battle at Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, where it behaved with extraordinary gallantry, its conduct receiving universal commendation. Its losses on that day were 19 killed, 151 wounded, and 25 missing; total, 195. The Ninth Corps passed the greater part of 1863 in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi. He fore going to the West, there was a month s preparatory stay at Newport News, Va., which with the time spent in Kentucky was the pleasantest period in the existence of the regiment. It was a time of blue skies, green fields, comfortable quarters, good food, and pleasant journeys by land and water. The Eleventh participated, without loss, in the investment of Vicksburg, but in the following siege operations at Jackson, Miss., it lost i killed, and i z wounded. It was also engaged in the Siege of Knoxville, Tenn., in November, 1863, a campaign notable for its hardships and privations. Leaving Tennessee in April, 1864, the regiment rejoined the Army of the Potomac (Griffin s Brigade. Potter s Division). Lieutenant Colonel Moses N. Collins was killed at the Wilderness ; the regi ment was engaged at the Petersburg Mine with a loss of 9 killed, 32 wounded, and 22 missing; and in all the subsequent battles of the corps, adding to its reputation for hard fighting and heavy losses. * With the recruits are included 403 conscripts or mercenaries who deserted und never joined the regiment. 144 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

H., September 10, 1862, the ten companies having been recruited within ten days time, and arrived at Arlington Heights, Va., on September 3Oth. The heaviest loss in the battle of Chancellorsville fell to the lot of the Twelfth New Hampshire ; it fought there in Whipple s Division, Third Corps. In the fighting on Sunday morning it faced for a long time a musketry fire of extraordinary severity, and having held its position long after the troops on either side had fallen back, it retired slowly and in good order to avoid capture. It entered that engagement with 21 officers and 537 men, (official report) losing 41 killed, 213 wounded, and 63 missing ; total, 317. The most of the missing were killed or wounded men who were left on the field and fell into the hands of the enemy. At Gettysburg, 21 officers and 224 men went into action, sustaining a loss of 14 killed, 67 wounded, and n missing. Soon after this battle, the Twelfth, in company with the Second and Fifth New Hampshire, was assigned to duty at Point Lookout, Mel., as guards at the military prison, remaining there eight months. The regiment received in the meanwhile an assignment of 450 conscripts and mercenaries, over 100 of whom deserted on their way to the front. When the Twelfth took the field in 1864, it was in Wistar s Brigade, Weitzel s (2d) Division, Eighteenth Corps. At Cold Harbor it lost 23 killed, 126 wounded, and 15 missing, out of less than 300 men engaged in the assault. In December, 1864, it was placed in Donohoe s Brigade, Devens s Division, Twenty-fourth Corps. This brigade was the first infantry command that entered Richmond. The adjutant-general of New Hampshire states in his official report that " no regiment left the state with men of finer personal appearance, or of more gentlemanly bearing."

Organized at Burlington, Vt., leaving the State December 14, 1 86 r, with ten companies only ; Com panies L and M were not recruited until a year later. In the spring of 1862 it was assigned to duty in Banks s Corps, then in the Shenandoah Valley, whereupon its active service immediately commenced. It formed part of a cavalry brigade, under General John P. Hatch, with which it took an active part in the fighting at Winchester, May 25, 1862, and on Banks s retreat. In these operations the regiment, acting as a rear guard, lost 105 men, captured or missing, in addition to their killed and wounded. At Gettysburg it was in Farnsworth s (ist) Brigade, Kilpatrick s (3d) Division, Cavalry Corps. On the third day of that battle, Kilpatrick committed the serious error of ordering Farnsworth to charge a large body of Confederate infantry who held a strong |>osition, protected by stone walls. Farnsworth s men, led by the First Vermont, leaping their horses over the intervening walls and fences, made a gallant but useless attack; Farnsworth was killed, and the regiment lost 13 killed, 25 wounded, and 27 missing. The First Vermont was one of the best mounted regiments in the service. In addition to the actions mentioned in the above list, in which it lost men killed or mortally wounded, it participated in as many more, in which it sustained losses in wounded or prisoners. 10 146 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Organized at Brattleboro, Vt., as an infantry command, but was changed to heavy artillery December 10, 1862, while on duty in Washington. The additional companies, L. and M. made necessary by this change, were recruited in July and October, 1863. The regiment was assigned to garrison duty within the defences of Washington, occupying Forts Slocum, Totten, and Stevens. It remained at Washington until May 12, 1864, when it moved, 1,500 strong, to join the Army of the Potomac. Although nominally a heavy artillery regiment, it served as infantry, the only difference being in its larger organization ; it had 12 companies of 150 men each, with a captain and four lieutenants for each company, forming three battalions with a major for each. The regiment arrived at the front on May i5th, when it was assigned to the Vermont Brigade, and two days later it went into action near Spotsylvania. On June ist, Major Fleming s Battalion was engaged in the storming of Cold Harbor, with a loss of 13 killed and 107 wounded. In the affair at the Weldon Railroad, June 23d, the regiment lost 9 killed, 36 wounded, and 257 captured or missing, the captured men belonging to Fleming s Battalion. It was next engaged in Sheridan s campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, where Lieutenant Colonel Chamberlin fell mortally wounded in the fight at Charlestown. At the Opequon, the regiment lost 8 killed, 85 wounded, and 6 missing; and at Cedar Creek, 13 killed, 74 wounded, and 20 missing. Returning to Petersburg, it was engaged in the final and victorious assault, with a loss of 5 killed and 45 wounded. TlIKKK HUNDRED FUJIITIXO RrXJIMKNTS. 147 SECOND VERMONT INFANTRY.

NOTES. Organized at Burlington, leaving the State June 24, 1861. The Second rendered important service on many battle fields, though with comparatively small casualty lists, until May 3, 1863, when it was hotly engaged at the storming of Marye s Heights, and in the covering of the retreat on the next day f at Banks s Ford. The brigade was then in Howe s Division, Sixth Corps; the losses of the regiment in the two days actions were 17 killed and 1 16 wounded At the Wilderness it lost 49 killed, 285 wounded, and 14 missing, a total of 348 out of about 700 men engaged. In this battle Colonel Stone fell dead from his horse, and Lieutenant-Colonel Tyler, who succeeded him, received a mortal wound. The next week, the regiment fought at Spotsylvania, with a loss of 27 killed, 80 wounded, and 16 missing; total, 123. The Second participated in all the battles of the Sixth Corps, serving from first to last in the Second Brigade of the Second Division. It was engaged in the final battles about Petersburg; and, at Sailor s Creek, while skirmishing with the rear guard of the retreating enemy, the men of the Second fired the last shots of the Sixth Corps ; though a matter of chance, the honor could not have been better awarded. 148 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. The physique of this regiment was unusually fine, the men averaging 5 feet loj inches in height, and 161 pounds in weight. On the i6th of April, 1862, occurred the remarkable action at Lee s Mills, on the Warwick River, one of the defences of Yorktovvn. Four companies of the Third D, E, F, and K forded the stream in the face of the enemy, with a view of making a reconnoissance in force. Through mismanagement and lack of support they were driven back, with a loss of 89 killed and wounded, out of the 192 officers and men that crossed. The detachment was ably commanded by Captain Samuel E. Pingree, who was wounded twice during the fight. The regiment crossed the Rapidan, May 4, 1864, with about 600 effectives, under com mand of Colonel Seaver. On the following day, in the battle of the Wilderness, it lost 38 killed, 167 wounded, and 6 missing; total, 211. At Spotsylvania it lost 21 killed, and 53 wounded. At Cold Harbor, the gallant Seaver, who commanded the regiment at Marye s Heights and in most all its battles, again led them in a bloody assault ; though there were less than 300 in line there, the casualties were 14 killed, and 53 wounded, and 5 missing. On July 16, 1864, the remnant of the regiment was mustered out, the recruits and reenlisted men having been consolidated into a battalion of six companies which remained in the field.

NOTES. The Fourth left Brattleboro on the 2ist of September, 1861, joining the other regiments of the brigade at Chain Bridge, Va. It was engaged on picket duty, varied by an occasional reconnoissance, until March, 1862, when active service in the field commenced. It passed through the Peninsular and Maryland campaigns with slight loss, no close fighting occurring until it engaged the enemy at Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862. In that battle it fought on the skirmish line, where it lost 11 killed, 43 wounded, and 2 missing; 4 men were killed and 14 wounded, in Company B, by a single discharge of canister. At the Wilderness, Colonel Foster commanding, the regiment encountered a terrible musketry fire, losing 41 killed, 223 wounded, and 4 missing a total of 268, out of less than 600 engaged ; 7 officers were killed and 10 wounded, while the missing ones all met the same fate. On June 23, 1864, in the affair at the Weldon Railroad, 8 officers and 133 men of the regiment were surrounded and captured, together with four companies of the Eleventh Vermont. Half of these men died in confederate prisons. Two hundred and ten of the men reenlisted, which, together with the recruits, preserved the organization after the muster-out in September, 1864, enabling the regiment to still hold its place in the renowned brigade and participate in all the subsequent battles of the corps. 150 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. At the battle of Savage Station the heaviest loss, by far, was sustained by the Fifth Vermont. In compliance with orders to advance and push back the enemy, General Brooks, commanding the Vermont Brigade, moved forward into the woods on the left of the line. The Fifth, in its advance, stepped over a regi ment which, refusing to advance further, had thrown themselves on the ground. The Fifth forced its way into the enemy s lines so far that, having lost connection, it encountered a severe canister fire on its flank. Facing some of the companies to meet the flank attack, it maintained its advanced position and silenced the enemy s fire. It retired a few hours later in company with the brigade, joining the Army in its movement to the James. The regiment took 428 officers and men into this fight ; its casualties were 45 killed, and 143 wounded Company E losing 44 men out of 59 in line, 25 of whom were killed. In February, 1863, Colonel Grant was promoted to the command of the brigade, remaining in that position until the end of the war. He was succeded by Colonel Lewis, who led the regiment in the battle of the Willderness, the losses there amounting to 33 killed, 187 wounded, and 26 missing. Colonel Lewis being severely wounded, was succeeded by Major Charles P. Dudley, who lost his life at Spotsylvania. In February, 1865, Captain Kennedy, of the Third Vermont, was appointed colonel. He led the regiment in its brilliant assault at Petersburg, April 2, 1865, where the flag of the Fifth was the the first in the corps to wave over the enemy s works.

NOTES. It left the State on October 19, 1 86 1, joining the Vermont Brigade at Camp Griffin, Va., near Chain Bridge. Within a month one-third of the men were on the sick list, the brigade being attacked by some peculiar epidemic, from which the adjoining camps were comparatively exempt. When the regiment took the field in March, 1862, over 50 deaths had occurred from disease. Its first experience under fire was at Lee s Mills, Va., near Yorktown. In that fight five companies crossed and re-crossed the Warwick River fording it waist deep under a sharp fire, with a loss of 13 killed and 67 wounded. In the affair at Funkstown, Md., July 10, 1863, the Vermont Brigade, with no supports near, held successfully a long skirmish line against an attack made by a strong force of Confederate infantry. Its efficiency in this action was fully recognized in the official reports of both division and corps commanders. The loss of the Sixth at Funkstown was 3 killed and 19 wounded, the men having fought mostly under cover. At the Wilderness the regiment lost 34 killed, 155 wounded, and 7 missing; total, 196. Colonel Barney, who commanded the Sixth at Marye s Heights and in the subsequent campaigns, was killed at the Wilderness. At the Opequon the Sixth lost 5 killed and 45 wounded ; and at Cedar Creek, 5 killed, 32 wounded, and 11 missing. The original regiment was mustered out October 16, 1864, leaving about 320 effectives recruits and reenlisted men in the field. 152 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. TENTH VERMONT INFANTRY.

Organized at Brattleboro, Vt., under the second call for troops. Leaving the State September, 1862, it was stationed on guard duty in Maryland until July, 1863, when it joined the Army of the Potomac, soon after the battle of Gettysburg. It was assigned to Morris s (ist) Brigade, Carr s (3d) Division, Sixth Corps. Under command of Colonel Jewett, the Tenth first encountered the enemy at Locust Grove (Mine Run) in which action it took a commendable part, losing n killed, 56 wounded, and 2 missing. In March, 1864, the Third Corps having been discontinued, the division was transferred to the Sixth Corps. The division, under command of General Ricketts, took a prominent part in the storming of Cold Harbor. The regiment, under Colonel Henry, suffered severely in this unsuccessful assault, its casualties amounting to 28 killed, 131 wounded, and 3 missing. At the battle of the Opequon, it lost 12 killed and 53 wounded, Major Edwin Dillingham being among the killed. It took 17 officers and 260 men into action at Cedar Creek, losing there 16 killed, 65 wounded, and 4 missing. The campaign in the Shenandoah Valley having been successfully ended, the Sixth Corps returned to Petersburg in December. The Tenth was engaged in the grand, victorious assault on the lines about Petersburg, April 2, 1865, with a loss of 44 killed and wounded, and was the first regiment in the division to plant its colors inside the enemy s works.

Although the Seventeenth was in service only one year, yet it saw more fighting and sustained greater losses in action than three-fourths of the regiments in the whole Union Army. It left the State April 18, 1864, with seven companies, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Cummings ; two weeks later it went into action at the Wilderness. Though without drill or necessary preparation the regiment moved steadily under fire, its colors waving on the line of the farthest advance. Owing to the prevalence of an epidemic in the ranks, it took only 313 muskets into that action, losing 8 killed, 63 wounded, and 3 missing. The next week, led by Major Reynolds, it fought at Spotsylvania. its casualties there amounting to 10 killed and 60 wounded. At the Mine Explosion it lost 8 killed, 22 wounded, and 23 missing-- Major Reynolds and 5 line officers losing their lives in this affair. The regiment also sustained heavy loses at Petersburg, both in the general assault of June i8th, and in the trenches, where, for months, men were killed or wounded every day. Lieutenant-Colonel Cummings, who was wounded at the Wilderness, resumed command at the battle of Poplar Grove Church, but only to lose his life in that battle. Three more companies joined the regiment during the summer and fall of 1864. On April 2, 1865, the Seventeenth took part in the storming of the works at Petersburg its last battle losing in that action 8 killed, 39 wounded, and 2 missing. It was mustered out July 14, 1865. 154: REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. FIRST MASSACHUSETTS HEAVY ARTILLERY. TANNATT S BRIGADE BIRNEY S DIVISION SECOND CORPS. (1) COL. WILLIAM B. GREENE, OT. $.

NOTES. Recruited in Essex County as the Fourteenth Infantry. It left the State August 7, 1861, proceed ing to Washington, where it was placed on garrison duty in the forts about there. It was changed to heavy artillery in January, 1862, receiving, consequently, fifty new recruits for each company, and two additional com panies of 150 men each; two additional lieutenants were assigned to each company, and two additional majors were commissioned. The First Battalion was ordered on active field service at Maryland Heights and vicinity, but the regiment proper did not go to the front until May, 1864. It then served as an infantry command in Grant s Virginia campaign. It joined the Army of the Potomac May 17, 1864, having been assigned to Tyler s Division of Heavy Artillery --then serving as infantry. Two days later it met the enemy on the Fredericks- burg Pike; it took 1,617 officers and men into that action, sustaining a loss of 50 killed, 312 wounded, and 28 missing; a total of 390. In the assault on Petersburg -- June 16-18 it lost 29 killed, 183 wounded, and 6 missing; total, 218. Four days later, in the affair of June 22d, it lost 9 killed, 46 wounded, and 185 missing; the latter were mostly captured men, of whom over half died in Confederate prisons. In the campaign of 1865 the regiment was in Pierce s (2d) Brigade, Mott s (3d) Division, with which command it participated in the closing battles of the war.

NOTES. Organized at Boston in May, 1861, and left the State on June i5th. It was placed in Richardson s Brigade, Tyler s Division, in which command it fought at First Bull Run. In October it was transferred to Hooker s Division, and ordered on duty in Lower Maryland, where it remained until it moved to Yorktown. It served during 1862 in Grover s (ist) Brigade, Hooker s (2d) Division, Third Corps. In the affair on the picket line June 25, 1862 known as Oak Grove, it was prominently engaged, losing 9 killed and 55 wounded. At Glendale it lost 89 in killed and wounded, Major Charles P. Chandler being among the killed. At Chancellors ville, the regiment is credited with having fired the volley which cost the great Confederate leader, General Jack son, his life.* Its casualties in that battle were 9 killed, 46 wounded, and 40 missing. At Gettysburg, under Lt.-Colonel Baldwin, the regiment encountered its greatest loss, its casualties on that field amounting to 16 killed, 83 wounded, and 21 missing. In March, 1864, the division was transferred, becoming the Fourth Division of the Second Corps, with General Gershom Mott in command. In this new command the regiment fought at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, evincing the same heroic bearing which had helped on other fields to make the old Third Corps so illustrious. The order for muster-out came May 20, 1864, while the men were in line at Spotsylvania. The recruits and reenlisted men were tranferred to the Eleventh Massachusetts. * The Seventy-third New York claim that the fatal hot came from their ranks. 156 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

The Second Massachusetts was the best officered regiment in the entire Army. Its colonel and lieutenant-colonel were educated at West Point, the latter graduating at the head of his class ; the line officers were selected men , for the most part collegians whose education, supplemented by the year of practical service in the field preliminary to the first battle, left nothing that could be desired to make them equal in every respect to any line of officers, regulars or volunteers. Of the sixteen officers who lost their lives, thirteen were Harvard men, whose names appear on the bronze tablets in Harvard Memorial Hall. The company officers were not elected by the men, as in other volunteer commands, but were selected by the authorities who raised the regiment. The enlisted men were also above the average in intelligence and soldierly bearing. The Second sustained the heaviest loss in action of any regiment in the corps. At Cedar Mouutain its casualties were 40 killed, 93 wounded, and 40 missing ; at Chancellorsville, 2 1 killed, no wounded, and 7 missing; and at Gettysburg, 23 killed, 109 wounded, and 4 missing, out of 316 engaged. The latter loss occurred within a few minutes, in a hopeless assault made by the Second,and Twenty-seventh Indiana, which was ordered by a mistake ; the blunder was apparent to all, but no one faltered, and each soldier did his duty gallantly ; Lieutenant-Colonel Mudge, who was in command, remarked : " It is murder, but it s the order," and fell dead while waving his sword and cheering on his men.

NOTES. An Irish regiment, whose gallant service on many fields attested the oft- acknowledged valor of the Irish soldier. Though organi/.ed in April, 1861, it did not reach Washington until June 29th. After a months stay in the vicinity of the Capitol, it crossed into Virginia and encamped on Arlington Heights, remaining there until March, 1862, when it went to the Peninsula. Its first battle occurred at Hanover Court House, although it participated in the Siege of Yorktown. It was assigned to Griffin s (21!) Brigade, Morell s (ist) Division, Fifth Corps, a division famous for the prominent part taken by it at Gaines s Mill and Malvern Hill. The Ninth dis tinguished itself at Gaines s Mill by the steadiness with which it sustained a heavy attack, its losses that day amounting to 57 killed, 149 wounded, and 25 missing; total, 231 ; six line officers were killed there, and four days later the Colonel fell, mortally wounded, at Malvern Hill. The regiment was engaged at Gettysburg as skir mishers, hence their slight loss in that battle. While on Grant s campaign, in 1864, the brigade was commanded by Colonel Sweitzer, and the division by General Griffin. The losses of the regiment at the Wilderness were 26 killed, 108 wounded, and 3 missing; and at Spotsylvania, 25 killed, 71 wounded, and 9 missing. During the entire period of its active service it was in the Second Brigade, First Division, Fifth Corps. It was relieved from duty June 10, 1864, and ordered home for muster-out. 158 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. TENTH MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY. EUSTIS S BRIGADE GETTY S DIVISION SIXTH CORPS. (1) COL.

NOTES. Organized at Lynnfield, Mass., and arrived at Washington August 30, 1861. It was stationed in Maryland, along the Upper Potomac, until March, 1862, when it was assigned to Dana s (3d) Brigade, Sedgwick s (2d) Division, Second Corps, with which command it then moved to the Peninsula. It was hotly engaged at Glendale, its losses there and at Malvern Hill, amounting to 19 killed, 84 wounded, and 42 missing. At Glendale, Colonel Minks was wounded, and Major Henry J. Howe was killed. The regiment was engaged at Antietam, in Sedgwick s contest in the woods around the Dunker Church, losing there 8 killed, 108 wounded, and 30 missing ; Colonel Hinks was again severely wounded. The loss at Fredericksburg was 14 killed, 83 wounded, and 8 missing. In this engagement, the Nineteenth under Captain Weymouth crossed the river in boats, together with the Seventh Michigan, acting as a forlorn hope. The boats crossed in the face of the enemy s fire from the opposite bank, which had hitherto prevented the laying of the pontoons. The Nineteenth, under Colonel Devereux, distinguished itself at Gettysburg, winning especial mention in the histories of that battle; its casualties there were 9 killed, 61 wounded, and 7 missing, out of 141 engaged. During the Wilderness campaign it was in Webb s (ist) Brigade, Gibbon s (2d) Division, and fought in all the subsequent battles of the Second Corps. REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. General Humphreys- Chief of Staff, Army of the Potomac in his able history, The Virginia Campaign of 1864 and 1865, alludes to the Twentieth as "one of the very best regiments in the ser vice." It served on the Peninsula, and at Antietam, in Dana s (3d) Brigade, Sedgwick s (2d) Division. At Fredericksburg, the brigade, under Colonel Norman Hall of the Seventh Michigan, distinguished itself by cross ing the river in the face of the enemy s riflemen, who occupied the buildings on the opposite bank. To the Twentieth was assigned the bloody task of clearing the streets ; in column of companies, led by Macy, it fought its way through the main street of the city exposed to a terrible fire from the windows and housetops ; its casual ties in this fight were 25 killed and 138 wounded ; no missing. At Gettysburg, it lost 30 killed, 94 wounded, and 3 missing; total, 127, out of 12 officers and 218 men who went into that action. The Twentieth sustained the greatest loss in battle of any Massachusetts regiment ; also, a remarkable fatality in its Field and Staff, losing a Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel, two Majors, an Adjutant, and a Surgeon, killed in battle. Colonel Revere was mor tally wounded at Gettysburg ; Lieutenant-Colonel Ferdinand Dreher received a fatal wound at Fredericksburg ; Major Henry L. Abbott was killed at the Wilderness ; Major Henry L. Patton died of wounds received at Deep Bottom ; and Surgeon Edward I. Revere was killed at Antietam while in the discharge of his duties.

Under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Alberto C. Maggi, it was promi nently engaged at Roanoke Island, where its casualties were 5 killed and 39 wounded. In the following month, commanded by Colonel Clarke, it fought gallantly at New Berne, where it suffered a loss of 15 killed and 42 wounded; among the killed was Adjutant Stearns. At Chantilly in Ferrero s Brigade, Reno s Division - the regiment encountered the hardest fighting in its experience ; Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph P. Rice was killed, and the total of casualties amounted to 22 killed, 98 wounded, and 26 captured, out of less than 400 men present in action. At Fredericksburg Ferrero s (20!) Brigade, Sturgis s (2d) Division the regiment rendered efficient service by the skill with which, from an advanced position and good marksmanship, it kept down the enemy s fire. In this action two color bearers were killed, and others were wounded, one of the latter losing both arms. Leasure s Brigade distinguished itself particularly in the battle of the Wilderness, where it swept down the line, across and opposite Hancock s front ; it was a daring charge, and accomplished with a remarkably small loss. The Twenty-first was mustered out in October, 1864; the men remaining in the field were trans ferred to the Thirty-sixth Massachusetts. 166 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

It went to Annapolis, and thence with the Burnside expedition to North Carolina, arriving at Hatteras Inlet on February 6, 1862. It was in Foster s (ist) Brigade, and was engaged at Roanoke Island with a loss of 6 killed and 44 wounded. It remained in North Carolina in the Eighteenth Corps until October, 1863, when it moved into South eastern Virginia. In the meantime, 432 of the men reenlisted, and in February, 1864, the regiment returned to Massachusetts on a veteran furlough. In April, 1864, the corps joined the Army of the James, and on May 51)1 landed at Bermuda Hundred. Fighting soon commenced, and on May gth, at Arrowfield Church, the regiment lost 1 6 killed, 60 wounded, and 69 captured or missing. At Cold Harbor it sustained its heaviest loss, its casual ties amounting to 24 killed, 142 wounded, and 49 missing, a total of 215 out of 300 reported for duty that morning ; six of the officers lost their lives in that action, and the missing ones were nearly all killed or wounded. The brigade was withdrawn in September, 1864, from its position in the Petersburg Trenches, and ordered to New Berne, N. C., on garrison duty. It was mustered out October 20, 1864, and the men remaining in the field were consolidated into a battalion of four companies, which served in North Carolina until the close of the war.

Recruited in the western part of the State, and arrived at Annapolis, Md., on Novemoer 5, 1861. It remained there undergoing instructions and drill for two months, and then sailed for North Carolina. It was assigned to Foster s (ist) Brigade, and fought under Burnside at Roanoke Island and New Berne, its casualties in the latter action amounting to 9 killed and 43 wounded. The regiment remained in North Carolina during the next two years. Colonel Lee was in command of the brigade most of the time, leaving the regiment to the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Luke Lyman. During its stay in North Carolina it was engaged with credit in numerous minor battles and skirmishes. In April, 1864, it joined the Army of the James in its advance on Richmond. At the battle of Drewry s Bluff the regiment was surrounded while fighting in a dense fog, losing in addition to its killed and wounded, 252 of its number taken prisoners. Among the captured were the Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel, and General Heckman. Part of the regiment escaping, the command devolved upon Major William A. Walker, who was killed soon after at Cold Harbor. On that bloody field the remnant of the Twenty- seventh lost 22 killed, 68 wounded, and 4 missing. In the assault on Petersburg, June 15, 1864, it sustained a further loss of 13 killed, and 30 wounded. In August, 1864, the regiment returned to North Carolina where it served until mustered out in June, 1865. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. icu TWENTY-EIGHTH MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY.

NOTES. Composed mostly of men of Irish birth. It was organized at Boston, and left the State January u, 1862. Proceeding soon after to Hilton Head, S. C., it remained in that Department until August, when it sailed for Virginia ; it was then in Stevens s Division, Ninth Corps, in which command it fought at Manassas and Chantilly. In these engagements, under command of Major Cartwright, its casualties amounted to 33 killed, 188 wounded, and 13 missing; total, 234. At Antietam then in VVillcox s Division the regiment numbered less than 200 in line, but it lost in that battle, 12 killed and 36 wounded. It was transferred, in November, 1862, to Hancock s (ist) Division, Second Corps, in which division it afterwards remained. It was placed in the Irish Brigade, and charged with it at Fredericksburg, losing 14 killed, 124 wounded, and 20 missing, out of 416 engaged. In May, 1864, it crossed the Rapidan with 505 officers and men General Barlow in command of the division. At the Wilderness the regiment lost 15 killed, 86 wounded, and 14 missing. At Spotsylvania its losses were 23 killed, 79 wounded, and 8 missing; half its losses there occurred in the affair of May j8th, in which Major Andrew J. Lawlor was killed. Colonel Byrnes, an able and gallant officer, fell at Cold Harbor. The regiment was mustered out December 13, 1864; the recruits and reenlisted men remaining in the field were consolidated into a battalion of five companies which served through the rest of the war. 170 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. The enrollment of the Thirty-second will give no idea of its percentage of loss, for it received over 800 men from disbanded regiments, many of these accessions occurring after the fighting was over. When finally disbanded, in July, 1865, it comprised the remnants of seven regiments, viz : the Ninth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-second, Thirty-second, and Thirty-ninth. It was organized, originally, as a battalion of six companies, for garrison duty at Fort Warren, in Boston Harbor. The six companies left the State May 26, 1862, and after a month s encampment at Washington, on Capitol Hill, embarked for the Peninsula, joining General McClellan s Army July 3, 1862, just after Malvern Hill. It was assigned to Griffin s (2d) Brigade, Morell s (ist) Division, Fifth Corps ; four more companies joined the regiment soon after. The division was commanded at Gettysburg by General Barnes, and fought in the wheat field, the regiment losing 13 killed, 62 wounded, and 5 missing, out of 229 taken into the fight. In January, 1864, 330 of the men recnlisted, and, being granted a furlough for thirty-five days, the regiment went to Boston. Soon after its return the army broke camp, and moved out to meet Lee in the Wilderness. At Spotsylvania the regiment encountered hard fighting, and, in the actions near that place, lost 23 killed, 101 wounded, and 5 missing; nearly one-half its effective strength. Colonel Prescott was killed in the disastrous assault on Petersburg, June 18, 1864.

NOTES. Recruited in the five Western counties of the State. Colonel Wells had already served with honor able distinction as Lieutenant-Colonel of the First Massachusetts before he was transferred to the command of the Thirty-fourth. The regiment left Worcester, 1,015 strong, on August 15, 1862, and proceeded direct to Virginia. For several months it was stationed at Fort Lyon, near Alexandria, Va., and also did duty awhile in Washington. In July, 1863, it was ordered to Harper s Ferry, and, thence, on various campaigns in the Shenandoah Valley. It commenced the spring campaign of May, 1864, with 670 men present for duty, and took about 500 into the action at New Market, May 15, 1864, its casualties amounting to 28 killed, 1 74 wounded, and 19 missing; total, 221. At Piedmont it lost 15 killed, and 95 wounded ; at Opequon, 6 killed and 96 wounded out of less than 300 en gaged ; at Strasburg, 9 killed, 48 wounded, and 40 missing, out of 250 present in that fight. In the latter action Colonel Wells was killed and fell into the enemy s hands. In December, 1864, the regiment was transferred to Eastern Virginia, and assigned to Turner s Division, Twenty-fourth Corps, Army of the James. It participated in the desperate but victorious assault on the works at Petersburg, April 2, 1865, and, taking part in the pursuit of Lee s Array, was present at the final scenes at Appomattox. 172 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Organized at Worcester, and left the State August 22, 1862. Both Colonel Wild and Lieutenant Colonel Carruth had seen service in the First Massachusetts. After a short stay on Arlington Heights, the regi ment was ordered to join McClellan s Army, then on its way to meet Lee in Maryland. It was assigned to Ferrero s (2d) Brigade, Reno s (2d) Division, Ninth Corps. It was engaged at South Mountain, where it won praises from all who saw it in action ; Colonel Wild received a serious wound there, resulting in amputation of an arm. Three days later, the regiment fought at Antietam, the casualty list at that battle footing up 48 killed, 160 wounded, and 6 missing ; Major Sidney Willard, who was in command, was killed while cheering on his men. The Thirty-fifth accompanied the corps in its western campaigns in Kentucky, at Vicksburg, and at the siege of Knoxville, Tenn. Upon its return to Virginia it was brigaded in the First Brigade of Stevenson s (ist) Division, from which it was subsequently transferred to Potter s (2 d) Division. At Poplar Spring Church the regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Hudson, lost 6 killed, 19 wounded, and 156 prisoners, the latter loss occurring not through any fault of the men, nor of the officers. The Thirty-fifth remained on duty before Petersburg, suffering heavy losses in the trenches, and sharing in the triumphant termination of the siege.

Composed of Berkshire County men, and left the State Sept. 7, 1862. Arriving in Maryland it was assigned to Devens s (2d) Brigade of Couch s Division. This division was soon after attached to the Sixth Corps as the Third Division, General Newton in command. The Thirty-seventh participated in several battles, displaying praiseworthy steadiness, but sustaining slight loss, until Grant s campaign in 1864, when it took part in some bloody fighting. It crossed the Rapidan May 5, 1864, with 609 officers and men present for duty, and was soon in the thickest of the Wilderness fight. It lost there 30 killed, 101 wounded, and 6 missing; the latter were undoubtedly killed. An equally large percentage of loss occurred at Spotsylvania. In the various actions and skirmishes about that place, from May 8th to May 2ist, its casualties amounted to 16 killed, 65 wounded, and 10 missing. In July the regiment was placed in the Third Brigade, Russell s (ist) Division, Colonel Edwards being placed in command of the brigade. At the battle of the Opequon the regiment lost 12 killed, and 79 wounded out of 296 men present in that action, and captured a stand of colors from Stonewall Jackson s old regi ment. At Sailor s Creek the Thirty-seventh was commanded by Captain Arch. Hopkins, and encountered there some of the closest hand-to-hand fighting of the war. The regiment was one of the first to enter Petersburg, the surrender of the city being made to Colonel Edwards by the Mayor and Aldermen, Colonel Edwards being in command of the Sixth Corps skirmish-line. 174 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

It left the State March 21, 1864, and, with about 850 men, proceeded to Annapolis, where it was attached to the First Brigade, Stevenson s (ist) Division, Ninth Corps. In the latter part of April it marched to Alexandria, Va., and thence to the Wilderness. Colonel Griswold was killed in that action, and the casualties, as given in the State reports, were 9 killed, 57 wounded, and 10 missing. At Spotsylvania, May i2th, it lost 10 killed, 41 wounded, and i missing; on the iSth, it also lost there 5 killed, and 40 wounded. In the charge of the Ninth Corps on the works at Petersburg June 1 7, 1864 the regiment was prominently engaged, its losses amounting to 10 killed, 51 wounded, and 16 missing; this was its hardest fight. It also sustained serious losses while in the trenches before Petersburg, men being killed or wounded daily for several weeks. At the Mine Explosion it lost 4 killed, 21 wounded, and 25 missing. The Fifty- dxth was a steady, reliable, fighting regiment ; although its losses, numerically, were not extraordinary, yet its percentage of killed was far above the average and entitles it to distinction. The Division was broken up in August, 1864, and the regiment transferred to Potter s (2d) Division. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 175 FIFTY-SEVENTH MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY -"SECOND VETERAN."

This regiment was in active service less than a year, and yet its percentage of killed was one of the highest of the war. It left the State April 18, 1864, proceeding to Annapolis where it joined the Ninth Corps - First Brigade, First Division, and marched soon after on its way to join the Army of the Potomac. At the Wil derness it was hotly engaged, and with severe loss, its casualties amounting to 57 killed, 158 wounded, and 30 missing; total, 245 out of 24 officers and 521 men engaged; one company, H, was not in this action, having been detailed on duty elsewhere just at that time.

NOTES. Recruiting for this regiment commenced in September, 1863, but only eight companies were or ganized up to April, 1864. These companies left the State April 28, 1864. The ninth company joined the regiment in June, but the tenth did not arrive until January, 1865. Upon its arrival in Virginia it was assigned toCurtin s (ist) Brigade, Potter s (2d) Division, Ninth Corps. Within one week after its departure from Mass achusetts the eight companies entered the bloody battle of the Wilderness, losing 6 killed, 32 wounded, and 7 missing. A week later it was engaged at Spotsylvania, and, in the actions of May i2th and i8th, lost 17 killed, 83 wounded, and 5 missing. The regiment moved against the works at Cold Harbor June 3d with a line whose steadiness and precision elicited praise from all who saw it, winning the compliments of both brigade and division commanders. In that fight it took an advanced position and held it until the close of the action ; its casualties were 24 killed, 83 wounded, and 18 missing; Major Barnabas Ewer, Jr., a favorite officer, was among the killed. The Fifty-eighth was also conspicuous for its gallant action in the assault on Petersburg June i7th -in which the brigade carried a line of works, but with a comparative slight loss to the regiment. At Poplar Spring Church it lost 90 officers and men taken prisoners, after which the regiment was so reduced in numbers that it was relieved from active duty. It received some accessions which enabled it to resume its position, and it participated in the final assault on Petersburg. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 177 SECOND RHODE ISLAND INFANTRY.

On July 28, 1863, it was transferred to the mounted service under the designation of the First New York Dragoons. Colonel Gibbs, who belonged to the United States Cavalry service, drilled the men in their new duties, and on the night of October 17, 1863, the Dragoons made their first fight as such at Manassas Plains. The regiment started on Grant s campaign of 1864 with about 400 carbines, and in the Wilderness (at Todd s Tavern), having dismounted, made a desperate fight, sustaining the heaviest loss of any cavalry regiment in any one action during the war ; its casualties in the Wilderness amounted to 20 killed, 36 wounded, and 35 missing. At Cold Harbor, the wearied troopers were sleeping on the ground, bridle-rein in hand, when they were awakened and ordered into the breastworks, which they gallantly defended while their band played gaily during the entire fight. At Trevilian Station, the remnant of the Dragoons were actively engaged, their casualties in that action amounting to 16 killed, 61 wounded, and 8 missing. After fight ing under Sheridan in his famous Shenandoah campaign, and sharing the glories of the final scenes at Appom- attox, the regiment was mustered out, June 30, 1865. The Dragoons ranked high in the estimation of its various brigade and division generals, as a regiment of superior discipline and efficiency. During all its mounted service the regiment was in the First Cavalry Division, Army of the Potomac. 184: REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. SECOND NEW YORK CAVALRY- -" HARRIS LIGHT."

The above enrollment does not include the three new companies (K, L, and M) which joined in April, 1865, at the close of the war. The regiment was organized at Rochester in November, 1861, having been recruited in that city and in its vicinity. On arriving at Washington it was assigned to Banks s Corps, and was under fire, for the first time, at Winchester, May 25, 1862, where five dismounted companies were engaged. During the Antietam campaign it served in Pleasanton s Cavalry Division, having previously distinguished itself by its escape from Harper s Ferry by passing through the besieging lines at night, and capturing some of the enemy s trains while on the way. It fought under Pleasanton in the famous cavalry battle at Beverly Ford, where it sus tained the heaviest loss of any regiment on the field, its casualties amounting to 12 killed, 31 wounded, and 7 missing. Colonel Davis was killed in a personal encounter in this action. At Gettysburg the Eighth fought in Gamble s Brigade, Buford s Division the brigade which opened that historic battle.

NOTES. Organized at Lockport in August, 1862, as the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Infantry, the men coming from Niagara, Orleans, and Genesee counties. It was changed to heavy artillery in December, 1862, and two additional companies were added in January, 1864. The regiment performed garrison duty until May, 1864, when it was sent with the other heavy artillery commands to the front to reinforce General Grant. It was in action for the first time at Spotsylvania, Va., May 19, 1864, where it lost 8 killed, 21 wounded, and 4 missing. At Cold Harbor the Eighth lost 80 killed, 339 wounded, and 86 missing; total, 505 --it having twelve large companies engaged there. In that battle Colonel Porter led the regiment in its grand charge upon the enemy s works, and fell dead in the extreme advance. Eight officers were killed in that action. In the assault on Petersburg the regiment made another gallant attack on the Confederate lines, in which Col. Bates and Major Blake fell mortally wounded. In the actions around Petersburg, June 15-23, 1864, the regiment lost 42 killed, 26 1 wounded, and 5 missing ; total, 308. Though known as an artillery regiment, the men carried rifles, and were drilled as infantry. When they took the field, their full ranks twelve companies of 150 men each ^made them a very efficient organization, but their heavy losses in action soon reduced their long lines, until but few were left to witness the last fight at Appomattox. During all its service in the field, in i864_ 65, the regiment was attached to the Second Division (Gibbon s) of the Second Corps. TlIKEE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. NINTH NEW YORK HEAVY ARTILLERY.

While stationed in the fortifications about Washington it was changed to heavy artillery November 9, 1862, and two additional companies, L and M, were added. Company M was organized originally at Lockport, N. Y., in October, 1862, as the Twenty-second I-ight Battery, and was transferred to the Ninth in February, 1863 ; Company L was organized in 1863, and joined the regiment in December of that year. During its stay within the defences of Washington the Ninth built Fort Simmons, Mansfield, Bayard, Gaines, and Foote. On May 18, 1864, the regiment left Alexandria, Va., for the front, where it was assigned, soon after its arrival, to Colonel B. F. Smith s (31!) Brigade, Ricketts s (3d) Division, Sixth Corps.

NOTES. Organized at Rochester, N. Y., the men having been recruited mostly in Monroe, Yates, St. Law rence and Jefferson counties. Although the recruiting commenced in June, 1863, the regiment did not complete its organization until January 4, 1864. It garrisoned the forts in New York Harbor until April 23, 1864, when it was ordered to the front, and was assigned to the Ninth Corps, joining it at Warrenton, Va. On May 2, 1864, it started for the Rapidan. The regiment was in line at the Wilderness, but was only partially engaged. It was actively engaged, however, the next week, at Spotsylvania (then in Stevenson s (ist) Division), and two weeks later suffered heavily at Cold Harbor, where it lost 15 killed, 43 wounded, and 16 missing. On June 17, 1864, the Fourteenth distinguished itself by its brilliant and successful charge on the works at Petersburg ; loss, 38 killed, 152 wounded, 60 missing; total, 250. Major Job C. Hedges was killed in this charge while bravely leading his battalion. At the Mine Explosion the regiment was selected to lead the assault at the Crater, and was the first to plant its colors on the enemy s works, where it captured a Confederate flag. Its casualties in this action were 10 killed, 44 wounded, and 78 missing; total, 132. The Fourteenth was on duty in the trenches, losing men daily in the constant and deadly firing which prevailed there. It also occupied Fort Stedman at the time of the Confederate sortie, March 25, 1865, and when surrounded there by the enemy, the men of the Four teenth fought their way through the opposing lines until they reached Fort Haskell, where, in company with the remainder of the regiment which was on duty there, they succeeded in holding that important position. At the Weldon Railroad the regiment was in White s (ist) Division, and sustained a loss of 6 killed, 40 wounded and 3 missing ; total, 49.

NOTES. Conspicuous, not only, by its gay uniform, but by its precision of drill and steady bearing under fire. General Sykes once wrote that it was the best volunteer organization he ever saw. During all its active service the Fifth was in the Division of Regulars, and fully maintained its standing and right to be there. In addition to the great Generals who had served successively as its Colonels, the regiment graduated other noted ones. Generals Kilpatrick, Davies, and Hamblin having served in its line. Kilpatrick was seriously wounded at Big Bethel while a captain in the Fifth. The regiment was recruited in New York City, and was one of the first to respond to the alarm of war. At Gaines s Mill, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Hiram Duryca, it faced a musketry fire which cut down one -third of its men, and won praises from all who witnessed its remarkable efficiency and drill while in the thickest of that fight ; it was in that battle that, after having received several deadly volleys, it paused at one time while still under fire to "count off" anew, so that its movements might not be deranged by the absence of its fallen men. At Manassas it took 490 into action, of whom 1 1 7 were killed or mortally wounded. The Fifth was enlisted for two years ; but most of its recruits were enlisted for three years, and when the regiment was mustered out (May 14, 1863) these men were transferred to the One Hundred and Forty-sixth New York. After the muster-out of the Fifth, Colonel Winslow organized another regiment which bore the same number, and which rejoined the Fifth Corps, sharing the fortunes of Grant s army from the North Anna to Appomattox. Colonel Winslow fell mortally wounded at Bethesda Church, while in command of this regiment, and Colonel Frederick Winthrop, who succeeded him, was killed at Five Forks while in com mand of the brigade. 192 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Four companies of this regiment were raised in Massachusetts, but the quota of that State being full, these companies joined the Fortieth. It sustained an unusual loss in battle, and in its number of killed stands next to the head in the list of New York infantry regiments. It carried, from first to last, a large number of names on its rolls, owing to accessions and transfers from other regiments. The Eighty-seventh New York was transferred entire in September, 1862 ; five companies of three years men from the Thirty-eighth New York were received in May, 1863 ; also, the reenlisted men and recruits of the Thirty-seventh, and Seventy-fourth New York Volun teers, when those regiments returned home. While on the Peninsula, the division was commanded by Kearny, and the brigade by General Birney. At Fair Oaks, under command of Colonel Egan, five companies numbering 231 officers and men were hotly engaged, every man in the color-guard falling, either killed or wounded. The original members of the regiment were mustered out in July, 1864, and the reonlisted veterans and recruits were formed into a battalion of six companies which served through the war.

NOTES. --This regiment was organized by the "Tammany General Committee," under the patronage of the Tammany Society of New York City. It was mustered in June 22, 1861, and on the i8th of July, following, went to Washington, 1,019 strong. Colonel Kennedy died on the 22cl and was succeeded by Colonel Cogswell. The regiment was assigned, October 15, 1861, to Gorman s Brigade, Stone s Division, and was engaged at Ball s Bluff, its first experience under fire, where three of the officers were killed. At Antietam then in Dana s (3d) Brigade, Sedgwick s ( 2d) Division, Second Corps the Forty-second charged with Sedgwick into the woods around the Dunker Church, where it lost 181 out of the 345 who were engaged. At Gettysburg, under command of Col onel Mallon (Hall s Brigade, Gibbon s Division), the regiment took a conspicuous and meritorious part in the repulse of Pickett s charge. Colonel Mallon was an officer of recognized merit and gallantry, and received frequent mention in the official reports of every action in which he was engaged. He was killed at Bristoe Station. During the Wilderness campaign the Forty-second fought in Webb s Brigade, Gibbon s Division, and its depleted ranks were again thinned by the desperate fighting encountered there. The gallant old regiment was mustered out July 13, 1864, its term of enlistment having expired, and such of its members as had rei-nlistcd, together with the recruits, were transferred to the Eighty-second New York. During its entire service it fought in the Second Division of the Second Corps. 13 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. FORTY-THIRD NEW YORK INFANTRY- - "ALBANY RIFLES."

The Forty- third was a fighting regiment, and was known as such throughout the corps and at home. It was assigned to Hancock s Brigade, W. F. Smith s Division, and participated with that command in its brilliant manoeuvre at Williamsburg. It was selected as one of the five crack regiments to form the famous Light Division of the Sixth Corps, the division which took such a prominent part in the successful storming of Marye s Heights. Soon after this battle the Light Division was discontinued, and the Forty-third was placed in the Third Brigade (Second Division), in which it remained without further change. The three field officers, Col. Wilson, Lieut. -Col. Fryer, and Major Wallace, were killed at the Wilderness. At Spotsylvania the regiment, though thinned and shat tered, was one of the twelve picked battalions which Upton led in his historic charge, in which the Forty-third with its usual dash captured some of the enemy s flags, Captain Burhans falling dead with two stands of colors in his hands. The Third Brigade General Bidwell commanding bore almost the entire brunt of the battle at Fort Stevens, Washington, where the Forty-third fought under the approving eye of the President, and helped to save the Capital from Early s invading army. Lieut. -Col. Visscher was killed in this action, and every regimental com mandant in the brigade was killed or wounded. THREE HUNDRED FKJHTING RECJLMKXTS.

The enlisted men in this regiment were the finest of any in the service. They were recmited from every county in the State, in conformity to requirements calling for unmarried, able-bodied men, not over thirty years of age, not under five feet eight inches in height, and of good moral character. The men were of a high order of intelligence, and when the regiment was organized it was found that the average age was twenty-two, and the average height five feet ten and one-half inches. The men wore a zouave uniform during the first year of their service. At Hanover Court House, its first battle, the Forty-fourth made a gallant fight, losing 27 killed and 59 wounded; at Gaines s Mill Lieutenant-Colonel Rice commanding --it lost 5 killed, 22 wounded, and 29 missing ; and at Malvern Hill, it killed, 84 wounded, and 4 missing, out of 225 who were engaged. The regiment was then in Butterfield s Brigade of Morell s (ist) Division. Two new companies (C and E) joined in October, 1862 (one of them composed of students from the State Normal School at Albany), and took the place of two companies which had been consolidated with the others. At Gettysburg, then in Vincent s Hrig- ade, Barnes s Division, the Forty-fourth was one of the first regiments to seize and hold Little Round Top, meeting its greatest loss there; casualties, 20 killed, 82 wounded, and 3 missing; total, 111. At Manassas, Major Freeman Conner commanding, the regiment lost 5 killed, 48 wounded, and 18 missing, out of 12 officers and 148 men in action ; at the Wilderness, it lost 4 killed and 63 wounded ; and at Spotsylvania, 8 killed, 48 wounded, and 9 missing.

NOTES. Organized and commanded by Rev. James H. Perry, D. D., a Methodist clergyman, who had been educated at West Point, and had distinguished himself in the Mexican War. He commanded the regiment until June 1 8, 1862, when he died suddenly at Fort Pulaski. The Forty-eighth left Fort Hamilton, N. Y., on Septem ber 15, 1 86 1, and after a brief stay in Washington and Annapolis sailed, October 2ist, for Fort Monroe, where it joined General W. T. Sherman s Expedition to Hilton Head- Shortly after the fall of Fort Pulaski, the Forty- eighth was assigned to garrison duty in the fort where it remained for one year. At Fort Wagner, in company with Strong s Brigade, the regiment participated in that memorable assault, and succeeded in entering one of the strongest bastions. They held it several hours, but for want of support had to abandon their costly prize after losing 54 killed, 112 wounded, and 76 missing; total, 242. On February 20, 1864, the regiment fought at Olustee, Fla., where it sustained a loss of 47 killed,* 163 wounded, and 34 captured, and then sailed for Virginia, where it joined the Army of the James in the campaign before Richmond and Petersburg. In this campaign it served in the Second Brigade (Barton s), Second Division (Turner s), Tenth Corps. While at Cold Harbor the division was attached, temporarily, to the Eighteenth Corps. At Fort Fisher the regiment was in Pennypacker s (3d) Brigade, Ames s Division. The Forty-eighth lost 859 men, killed and wounded, during the terrible fight ing of the last twenty months of its service, - - a nobie record. "Including mortally wounded.

NOTES. Organized at Buffalo, September 18, 1861. The regiment arrived in Washington, September 21, 1 86 1, and was assigned soon after to Davidson s Brigade, W. F. Smith s Division. In March, 1862, this division was placed in Keyes s (Fourth) Corps and accompanied it to the Peninsula; but on May 18, 1862, the division was detached and used in forming the Sixth Corps, in which command (Third Brigade, Second Division) the regiment served until the end of the war. Although the regiment participated in all the battles of the Army of the Potomac in 1862 and 1863, its losses were comparatively small until 1864, when it encountered some hard fighting and severe losses. The Forty-ninth started on Grant s Virginia campaign, May 4, 1864, with 384 men, losing at the Wilderness, 29 killed, 54 wounded, and 6 missing , and at Spotsylvania, 24 killed, 89 wounded, and 1 8 missing. Among the killed in these battles were ten officers. At Spotsylvania the regiment behaved with especial gallantry, its percentage of loss in that battle being a remarkable one. Its term of service expired September i 7, 1864, while fighting in the Shenandoah Valley, and the remnant of the regiment went home. The rei : nlisted men and recruits with unexpired terms were left in the field and formed into a battalion of four com panies which served through the war. At Cedar Creek this battalion sustained a loss of 8 killed and 30 wounded. The Forty-ninth suffered a severe and unusual loss in the number of its field officers killed in action. Colonel Bidwell, who had been brevetted General, was killed at Cedar Creek ; Major Ellis was mortally wounded at Spotsylvania (shot with a ramrod) ; Lieutenant-Colonel Johnson was killed at Fort Stevens, while in command ; and Colonel Holt fell in the final and victorious assault at the fall of Petersburg. 198 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Recruited in New York City, and formed by uniting the " Scott Rifles," two companies, and the "Union Rifles," two companies, with the Shepard Rifles. It was mustered in by companies from July 2 7 to October 23, 1861. In January, 1862, it embarked at Annapolis on the Burnside Expedition, having been assigned to Reno s Brigade. At the battle of New Berne it encountered the brunt of the fighting, and sustained the severest loss of any regiment in that action. During its subsequent service it was in the Second Division which was commanded, successively, by Reno, Sturgis, and Potter. The Fifty-first distinguished itself particularly at Antietam, where, under Colonel Potter, it supported the Fifty-first Pennsylvania, of the same brigade, in their desperate charge across the stone bridge, an action which forms one of the most brilliant episodes of the war. Following the fortunes of the Ninth Corps it served under Burnside on the Carolina coast, took part in Pope s Virginia campaign, fought under McClellan in Maryland, was present at the Siege of Vicksburg, participated in the fighting in East Tennessee, in the gallant defense of Knoxville, and then returned to Virginia in time to take part in Grant s campaigns of 1864 and the final triumphs of the following year. The regiment reenlisted in December, 1863, and in the following winter was recruited anew nearly to its maximum. During the campaigns of 1862-63 the regiment served in Ferrero s Brigade ; in the battles of 1864-65 it was in Curtin s (ist) Brigade, Potter s (2d) Division. The graves of the Fifty-first are scattered far and wide. Few regiments saw a more active service, and none left a more honorable record.

Recruited in New York City, was mustered in by companies from August 3 to November 4, 1861. It proceeded to Washington, November 12, 1 86 1, where it was assigned to the Third Brigade, First Division, Second Corps, in which it remained during its entire service. In April, 1862, the Fifty-second accompanied the corps to the Peninsula, and at Fair Oaks the regiment went into its first action, where, under command of Colonel Frank, it establised a reputation for efficiency underfire. Out of 320 who were engaged there, 122 were killed or wounded, while each of the field-officers had their horses shot under them. But the deadliest fighting was en countered at Spotsylvania, where the regiment participated in the hand-to-hand struggle and terrible musketry fire at the famous Angle. Here Count Van Haake and Baron Von Steuben, both of whom were Prussian officers on furlough, were killed while fighting as line officers in the Fifty-second. Major Edward Venuti was killed at Gettys burg. Col. Frank was mustered out at the expiration of his term of service. He was succeeded by Col. Karples, who had been in command of the regiment much of the time, Colonel Frank having been placed in command of the brigade. The Fifty-second was composed of men of German birth ; yet it fought for the flag of the Union as gallantly as ever Germans fought on the battle fields of their fatherland. 200 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Recruited in New York City, and in the counties of Jefferson, Lewis, Putnam, and Westchester. It was organized at Green Point (East New York) in October, 1861, leaving the State on the igth of November, following. It was stationed for several months in the defences of Washington, under General Wadsworth, and remained there while the Army was on the Peninsula; but in August, 1862, the Fifty-ninth joined General McClellan s forces, which were then starting on their victorious Maryland campaign, and was assigned to Dana s (3d) Brigade, Sedgwick s (2d) Division, Second Corps. The regiment saw its first fighting at Antietam, where it was engaged in Sedgwick s bloody affair at the Dunker church. It went into that action with 21 officers and 300 men, of whom 224 were killed or wounded. Nine officers, including Lieutenant-Colonel John L. Stetson, were killed or mortally wounded there, a loss of officers killed which was exceeded in only two other instances during the war ; several other officers were wounded there, while seven of the eight color corporals were either killed or disabled. The regiment, becoming reduced in numbers, was consolidated into four companies in 1863, and took these four companies, only, into the fight at Gettysburg. It fought there in Hall s Brigade of Gibbon s (2d) Division ; Lieutenant-Colonel Max Thoman, commanding the regiment, was killed there. The Fifty-ninth remained in the Second Division (Gibbon s) until the end of the war. General Alex. S. Webb commanded the brigade in the Wilderness campaign and was wounded at Spotsylvania. He was succeeded by Colonel H. B. Me Keen who was killed at Cold Harbor. Mustered out June 30, 1865. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 201 SIXTY-FIRST NEW YORK INFANTRY " CLINTON GUARD."

The Sixty-first had the good fortune and honor to be commanded by men who proved to be among the ablest soldiers of the war. . They made brilliant records as colonels of this regiment, and, being pro moted, achieved a national reputation as division generals. The Sixty-first saw an unusual amount of active service and hard fighting. At Fair Oaks, under command of Colonel Barlow, they lost 1 10 killed and wounded, out of 432 who were in the action ; Lieutenant-Colonel W. C. Masset, and five of the color-guard were killed in this fight. At Antietam the regiment captured two stands of colors, and at Fredericksburg, under Colonel Miles, it sustained a severe loss in proportion to its numbers, the colonel being severely wounded there. The regiment was recruited from various counties in the State, one company being composed of students from Madison Uuiversity. It was organized at New York City, from August 22d to October 26, 1861. It reenlisted at the end of its three years term, and served until July, 1865. It served through the war in the First Brigade, First Division, Second Corps. This division was commanded successively by Generals Richardson (killed at Antietam), Hancock, Caldwell, Barlow and Miles. 202 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. SIXTY-THIRD NEW YORK INFANTRY.

NOTES. Third Regiment, Irish Brigade. Like the other regiments in that brigade, the Sixty-third carried a green flag. On it was the name of the State with the regimental volunteer number. The flag instead of being blue like the State flags in other brigades, was a deep rich green, and on it was embroidered an Irish harp, a sunburst, and a wreath of shamrock. Each regiment of the brigade carried, also, the National colors elegant silken flags which displayed the Stars and Stripes. At Antietam the regiment lost six officers killed near "Bloody Lane," and sixteen men were killed or wounded in that battle while carrying the colors ; its total loss being 202 killed or wounded out of 341 who entered the field. The brigade carried the position at Antietam in the face of a severe fire ; Meagher s line was then relieved by Caldwell s fine brigade, which advanced through them by breaking into columns of companies to the front, while Meagher s men retired by the right of companies to the rear, these two noted brigades executing the manoeuvre as steadily as if on parade. The regiment having retin- listed, fought in all the battles of Grant s Virginia campaign, sustaining further terrible losses in men and officers, the latter including Major Thomas Tuohy, a gallant and intrepid soldier who fell mortally wounded at the Wilder ness. With the other regiments of the Irish Brigade, it served throughout the war in the Second Brigade, First Division, Second Corps. Battles.

Formerly the Sixty-fourth Militia, but reorganized as a volunteer command at Klmira in the autumn of 1861. The regiment arrived at Washington, December n, 1861, and went into camp near the capitol. It commenced active sen-ice in Virginia, January 2, 1862, performing picket duty, with an occasional recon- noissance, until April 5, 1862, when it sailed for the Peninsula with General McClellan s Army. It served there in Richardson s Division afterwards Hancock s remaining in that division (ist Division, 2<1 A. C.) until the end of the war. The Sixty-fourth, under Colonel Bingham, distinguished itself at Chancellorsville, where, in company with four other regiments, it held successfully an advanced skirmish-line against the persistent attack of a large force of the enemy. This line was in charge of Colonel Nelson A. Miles of the Sixty-first New York, and the brilliancy of the affair became a matter of history. The regiment fought at Gettysburg in Caldwell s Division (same division), and lost there 98 out of the 20 officers and 185 men who marched with the colors on that field. 204: REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

There were three regiments, each known as the Sixty-ninth New York. One of them, a militia regiment, was the one which fought at First Bull Run, and afterwards volunteered repeatedly in different emer gencies ; another, the one whose losses are given above, served through the war in the famous Irish Brigade, and was the one generally known as the Sixty-ninth New York ; the other, the Sixty-ninth National Guard Artillery, served in the Corcoran Legion and was known officially as the i8ad New York Volunteers. The Sixty-ninth proper, to which this page belongs, was organized in September, 1861 ; served three years, after which it reenlisted, and served through the remainder of the war, its gallantry on many fields attesting anew the fidelity and courage of the Irish soldier. At Antietam this regiment, then in Richardson s Division, fought at the Bloody Lane, where eight of its color-bearers were successively shot down. At Fredericksburg a color- sergeant of the Sixty-ninth was found dead, with the flag concealed and wrapped around his body, a bullet having pierced the flag and his heart. In that battle the regiment lost 16 officers and 112 men killed and wounded, out of 1 8 officers and 210 men engaged.* The Sixty-ninth lost the most men in action, killed and wounded, of any regiment from the State of New York. * Official Records, Vol. xxi ; but Captain Saunders, in his official report, states this loss at 16 officers and 100 men.

Recruited in New York City, and musterd into service June 20, 1 86 1 , as the First Regiment, Sickles s Brigade. It left the brigade camp on Staten Island, July 23, 1861, and was stationed at Washington a few weeks, after which it performed guard duty along the Maryland side of the Lower Potomac. During the Peninsular campaign the Excelsior Brigade was in Hooker s Division, upon which fell the brunt of the battle at Williamsburg, the Seventieth, under Colonel Dvvight, being in the thickest of the fighting. The regiment numbered there, according to the official report, about 700 men, and its casualty list shows a loss of nearly one-half. One more such fight would have ended its existence. Of 33 officers, in that battle, seven were killed and twenty-two wounded. Colonel Farnum commanded the regiment at Gettysburg, where it fought in Humphreys s Division, on the Emmettsburg Road in the battle of the second day, and sustained a severe loss before it yielded this advanced position and retired to the second line. During the pursuit of I>ee, the Excelsior Brigade, on July 23, 1863, attacked the Confederate rear-guard at Wapping Heights, Va., a fight in which the main loss fell on the Seven tieth. Upon the transfer of the Third Corps to the Second, the brigade, under command of Colonel W. R. Brewster, was assigned to Mott s Division, and from that time fought with the Second Corps until the expiration of its term of service. It was mustered out July i, 1864, and the recruits transferred to the Eighty-sixth New York. 206 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. SEVENTY-SECOND NEW YORK INF ANTRY - - " THIED EXCELSIOR."

NOTES. Recruited principally in New York city and Chautauqua county, Company B coming from James town, N. Y., and Companies D and E from Dunkirk, N. Y. A regimental organization was effected at Staten Island, where the other regiments of Sickles s Brigade were forming, and in June, 1861, the command left for Washington. The brigade was attached to Hooker s Division and ordered on duty along the Lower Potomac, where it remained until it joined General McClellan s army in 1862. Colonel Taylor commanded the brigade at Williamsburg, where it received the principal force of the enemy s attack. The Seventy-second held an advanced position there, and lost 59 killed, 90 wounded, and 46 missing, the most of the latter being either killed or wounded. The regiment was prominently engaged at Malvern Hill, its losses in that action amounting to 14 killed and 47 wounded, out of about 300 who were in the engagement. Colonel Stevens and four other officers were killed at Chancellorsville, the regiment losing in that battle, n killed, 31 wounded, and 59 missing; total, 101. At Gettysburg, the Excelsior Brigade participated in General Sickles s grand battle, known as the second day s fight, the thinned ranks of the Seventy-second being again sadly depleted by the enemy s fire. Its casualties on that field were 7 killed, 79 wounded, and 28 missing ; total, 1 14. The Excelsior Brigade was com manded, first by General Sickles, and then by Colonel Taylor, who was succeeded by Colonel W. R. Brewster. The division commanders were Hooker, Berry and Humphreys. Upon the transfer of the Third Corps to the Second, in April, 1864, the brigade was placed in Mott s (4th) Division, afterwards Birney s.

Organized as the Second Fire Zouaves, having been largely recruited from the New York Fire Department. It joined Sickles s Brigade, and arrived at Washington, 897 strong, in August, 1861. The bricade was stationed at Camp McClellan, below Washington, at Good Hope, Md., and while there was assigned to Hooker s Division, which afterwards became famous by its gallant action at Williamsburg. This one division, also, fought the battle of Bristoe Station, Va., August 27, 1862 one of the preliminary actions at Manassas the brunt of the fight falling on the "Excelsior" Brigade, which successfully carried a strong position of the Confeder ates, but with a loss of forty per cent. The Seventy-third had only 8 officers and 99 men present there ; three of these officers were killed. The One Hundred and Sixty-third New York was disbanded January 20, 1863, and the men transferred to the Fourth Excelsior. By this arrangement the depleted ranks of the regiment received a nominal accession of 365 men, of whom about 250 reported for duty. Colonel Brewster commanded the " Excelsior " Brigade at Gettysburg and during all its subsequent service in the field, leaving Colonel Burns in com mand of the regiment both in battle and camp. During the campaigns of 1864-5 ^ fought in Birney s (3d) Division of the Second Corps, the Third Corps having been discontinued in April, 1864, and transferred to the Second. 208 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Preparatory to its departure for the field it was encamped on Staten Island with other regiments of Sickles s Brigade. In August, 1 86 1, the command left New York for Washington, and was stationed near there several weeks. The brigade, having been assigned to Hooker s Division, was ordered to occupy the line of the Lower Potomac in Maryland, where it patrolled the river for twenty miles. In November, 1861, part of the regiment crossed the river with Colonel Graham on an expedition to Mathias Point, Va. In April, 1862, the brigade left its winter-quarters in Maryland to join General McClellan s advance up the Peninsula. The Seventy-fourth distinguished itself at Williamsburg, where the brigade fought in an abattis of felled timber, holding its position successfully against the main force of the enemy. The division was com manded at Chancellorsville by General Berry, who was killed there. The Seventy-fourth received but few recruits, and when it marched to Gettysburg its thinned ranks showed the effects of bullets and disease. Still it faced the hottest of the musketry on that historic field, with the consequent heavy percentage of loss. The Third Corps was transferred to the Second in March, 1864, and with it the Excelsior Brigade under Colonel Brewster. The brigade under this arrangement became the Second Brigade of Mott s Division. The Seventy-fourth was mustered out June 26, 1864; the reenlisted men and recruits with unexpired terms were transferred to the Fortieth New York. As only one of the " Excelsior" regiments reenlisted, the service of that famous brigade terminated in July, 1864. THKKE HUNDRED FICSHTING KKGIMENTS. 209 SEVENTY -SIXTH NEW YORK INFANTRY.

NOTES. The men of this regiment were proud of the suggestive numerals in their regimental title, and by theii gallantry and patriotism pioved themselves worthy of the historic figures emblazoned on their colors. The Seventy-sixth was recruited in Cortland and Otsego counties in 1861, and arrived at Washington, Febniary i, 1862. It was assigned soon after to Doubleday s Brigade, Hatch s Division. Its first battle was at Manassas, where the regiment under command of Colonel Wainwright was engaged at Warrenton Springs, Gainesville, and the other engagements incidental to the main one, sustaining a loss of 1 1 killed, 88 wounded, and 48 missing ; total, 147. The Seventy-sixth met its greatest loss at Gettysburg. In the first day s battle on that field, it took 27 officers and 348 men into the fight, and in half an hour lost 32 killed, 132 wounded, and 70 missing ; total, 234. Major A. J. Grover, who was in command of the regiment at Gettysburg, was among; the killed. In March, 1864, the Seventy-sixth was assigned to Rice s Brigade, Wadsworth s Division, Fifth Corps. In the Wilderness, the regiment lost two color-bearers killed, and three wounded, its casualties in that battle amounting to 27 killed, 69 wounded, and 186 captured or missing; total, 282. General Rice, the brigade commander, was mortally wounded at Spotsylvania while leading the Seventy-sixth. A surgeon asked the dying general if he could place him in an easier position. Rice replied : " Yes, turn me so that I may die with my face to the enemy." The regiment was mustered out in January, 1865, its term of enlistment having expired. The rei-nlisted men and recruits were transferred to the One Hundred and Forty-seventh New York. 14 210 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. SEVENTY-NINTH NEW YORK INFANTRY. "HIGHLANDERS."

Composed mostly of Scotchmen, uniformed in their national costume, the officers wearing kilts and the men wearing pantaloons of the Cameron tartan. After active service commenced, this dress was laid aside and the United States service uniform was substituted. The men of the Seventy-ninth fully sustained the honor and military reputation of their native land, and fought for the government of their adoption as gallantly as ever Scotchmen fought on native soil or on foreign fields. Previous to the war this regiment had belonged to the State National Guard, and at the outbreak of hostilities it was among the first to tender its services. It marched to First Bull Run, where it sustained one of the heaviest losses on that field, its casualties amounting to 32 killed, 51 wounded, 115 missing or captured. Colonel Cameron, brother of the Secretary of War, was killed there while in command of the regiment. At the battle of James Island (Secessionville), it was in Stevens s Division, and lost 1 10 men there out of 474 engaged. In August, 1862, the gallant regiment fought again on the Manassas Plains, and in the actions at Second Bull Run and Chantilly lost 9 killed, 79 wounded, and 17 missing; total, 105. General Stevens, formerly Colonel of the Higlanders, was killed at Chantilly, where, after six color- bearers of the Seventy-ninth had fallen, the General seized the flag and shouting, ".Highlanders ! My Highland ers ! Follow your General," led the charge and fell dead amid the cheers of victory with the color- staff grasped firmly in his hand.f The regiment s term of enlistment expired May 13, 1864, the order for muster-out reach ing the men while they stood in line on the bloody field of Spotsylvania. The recruits were organized into a battalion which served through the war, doing provost-duty at Corps headquarters. * Does not include the battalion organized in 18(54. t History of the Seventy-ninth Highlanders ; William Todd.

NOTES. This regiment was from Ulster county, and was better known as the Twentieth, it having served in the State Militia for several years under that number. Although known officially as the Kightieth Infantry, it never accepted that designation, but adhered faithfully to its old militia number. Colonel Pratt, who commanded it before the war also, was a gentleman of wealth, education, and a member of the State Senate. He was killed at Manassas. At that battle the regiment was in Patrick s Brigade, Hatch s Division, and lost 32 killed, 165 wounded, and 82 missing; total, 279. At Antietam its casualties were 6 killed, 40 wounded, and 8 missing; total, 54. It distinguished itself particularly at Gettysburg by the prominent part which it took in the repulse of Pickett s charge. The regiment was then in Rowley s (ist) Brigade, Doubleday s Division ; but during the battle of the third day, a part of the brigade, including the Twentieth, was under the command of Colonel Gates ; its loss at Gettysburg was 35 killed, 111 wounded, and 24 missing; total, 170. In July, 1863, the regiment was detached from its corps and ordered to report to General Patrick, the Provost Marshal of the army, for duty in his department. It remained on provost-duty at General Headquaiters until the final assault on Petersburg, when it joined the assaulting column and lost several in killed and wounded.- The Twentieth served first as a three months regiment, leaving Kingston, April 28, 1861, anil was stationed at Annapolis Junction, and at Baltimore. It reorganized under a three years enlistment, and left the State again, October 25, 1861. After a short stay at Washington, it crossed into Virginia, November 7, 1861, and joined Wadsworth s Brigade, going into winter quarters at Upton s Hill. The regiment was continued in service until January 29, 1866. 212 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. EIGHTY-FIEST NEW YORK INFANTRY. MARSTON S BRIGADE BROOKS S DIVISION EIGHTEENTH CORPS. (1) COL.

It left Oswego January 20, 1862, with 750 men, and at Albany received 250 more, who had been recruited in Oneida county. It left the State in February, 1862, and upon its arrival at Washington was assigned to Palmer s Brigade, Casey s Division, Fourth Corps. The regiment fought well at Fair Oaks, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel DeForest, who was wounded, and Major McAmbly, who was killed there. Upon the withdrawal of the Army from the Peninsula, the Eighty- first was retained at Yorktown with General Keyes s command. In December, 1862, the regiment was ordered to join General Foster s troops in North Carolina, where it remained on duty in the vicinity of Beaufort, S. C., and Morehead, N. C., for several months. In November, 1863, it was stationed on outpost duty along the Dismal Swamp Canal, Va. Having reonlisted, the regiment went home on a thirty days furlough, in March, 1864, and recruited its ranks preparatory to the spring campaign. It returned to Yorktown where it was ordered to join the Eighteenth Corps, General Wm. F. Smith commanding, and was placed in Marston s (ist) Brigade, Brooks s (ist) Division. Under Lieutenant-Colonel Raulston, the Eighty-first distinguished itself in the assault on Cold Harbor, where it led the brigade in the charge, but with a loss of half its number. In this battle it sustained the heaviest loss of any infantry regiment on the field. Larger losses occurred in some of the heavy artillery regiments engaged there, but they had three times as many men in line. In July, 1864, General Stannard succeeded to the command of the First Division and led it in its victorious assault on Fort Harrison (Chaffin s Farm). Upon the discontinuance of the Eighteenth Corps the regiment was transferred to Ripley s Brigade, Devens s Division of the newly-formed Twenty-fourth Corps. Colonel Raulston commanded the brigade at the battle on the Darbytovvn Road and, also, at other times and places. The regiment was mustered out August 3 i, 1865. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS.

The Second Militia commenced recruiting for the war, April 15, 1861, and arrived at Washington, May 21, 1861. The regiment, having enlisted for three years, was subsequently designated as the Eighty-second Volunteers. It was stationed near the Capital until July 3d, when it crossed into Virginia, having been assigned to Schenck s Brigade of Tyler s Division, in which command it fought at First Bull Run. On August 5, 1861, the regiment was ordered to join Gorman s Brigade, Stone s Division, Second Corps, in which command ( ist Brigade, 2d Division, ad A. C.) it remained without further change during its subsequent three years of service. At Antietam this division, under Sedgwick, fought at the Dunker Church, where it encountered an unusually severe fire. The Eighty-second took 339 men into that fight, of whom 128 fell under the terrible musketry, while the division sustained one of the largest losses encountered by any division in any one battle during the war. The regiment was actively engaged at Gettysburg, and, in the battle of the second and third days, lost 192 killed or wounded out of the 365 who entered that fight. Colonel Huston was killed there, and the brigade (Harrow s) lost over sixty percent, of its men. General Webb commanded the brigade during the Wilderness campaign, in which the gallant old regiment was under fire almost daily until June 25, 1864, when its term of enlistment expired. It then returned home, and the recruits and rei ; nlisted men left in the field were transferred to the Fifty-ninth New York. 214 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

During the first year of the war it served in Banks s Division, doing duty in Mary land, and along the Potomac, and in the vicinity of Harper s Ferry. Although known officially as the Eighty- third Volunteers, it preferred its old militia number, and always alluded to itself as the " Ninth." During Pope s campaign, it served in HartsufFs (3d) Brigade, Ricketts s (2d) Division, McDowell s Corps, and was hotly engaged at Manassas. It accompanied the First Corps through all the hard fighting of McClellan s Maryland campaign, and then in Taylor s Brigade, Gibbon s Division fought at Fredericksburg, where it suffered its severest loss. Colonel Hendrickson, who commanded the regiment in this battle, was severely wounded, losing a leg. He was succeeded by Colonel Moesch, who was killed at the Wilderness while leading his men into action. The regiment, though small in numbers, distinguished itself particularly in the first day s battle at Gettysburg by the promient part which it took in the capture of a part of Iverson s North Carolina Brigade, an affair which forms one of the interesting features in the history of that greatest of battles. In March, 1864, the First Corps was merged into the Fifth and was discontinued, but the " Ninth " still remained in Baxter s Brigade of Robinson s Division. Both Baxter and Robinson were severely wounded in the spring campaign, and were obliged to relinquish their commands. The ranks of the Ninth were again badly cut up in the fighting at Spotsylvania, but on June 7th the welcome orders to start for home were received. Only 107 officers and men were left to start on the homeward march. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 215 .> EIGHTY-FOURTH NEW YORK INFANTRY -"FOURTEENTH BROOKLYN."

Although the regiment had existed before the war as the Fourteenth of the State Militia or National Guard, it became the Eighty-fourth of the line in the volunteer service. It was ready for the field on April 18, 1861, but marching orders were not received until May 1 8th, when it proceeded to Washington. Its volunteer number was furnished later, but it was not accepted; hence, it was known by both numbers. The regiment fought at First Bull Run, and, a year later, under Colonel Fowler, sustained another and a heavy loss on the same field. At Antietam, under command of Major DeBevoise, it entered the fight with about one hundred men, and " the gallant regiment " was awarded " fresh laurels" there, in the official report of General Hatch, the division general. At the first day s battle at Gettysburg, the Four teenth attained a place in history by its efficiency under fire, the ability of its colonel, and its important service rendered there ; its tactical manoeuvres and prompt action on that field are mentioned in every account of that battle. The regiment was one of the very first to open fire in that engagement, and, in connection with the Ninety- fifth New York and Sixth Wisconsin forming a demi-brigade under command of Fowler distinguished itself at the railroad cut in the capture of Davis s Mississippi Brigade. The regiment was favorably known in winter-quarters as well as on the field ; and while encamped near Culpeper in 1864-5, tne " Brooklyn Boys" gave a series of Minstrel Entertainments, which were enjoyed and patronized by the Corps, from headquarters to the wagon train. The " Fourteenth " fought in the Wilderness Campaign, many of the men falling at Spotsylvania while expecting hourly the orders to march homeward for muster-out. On May 22, 1864, the welcome order was received, and the bronzed and battle-scarred battalion returned to Brooklyn, where it was greeted with the grandest ovation of the war. 210 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Organized in October, 1861, at Elmira, N. Y., from companies recruited principally in Steuben county, with some from Chemung and Onondaga. After leaving Elmira the regiment was stationed at Washing ton, where it performed guard duty for several months. It took the field in August, 1862, in Piatt s Brigade - and was engaged at Manassas, where it lost 13 killed, 67 wounded, and 38 missing. At Fredericksburg, then in Whipple s Division, Third Corps, it was slightly engaged, a few men being wounded there ; but at Chancellors ville the Eighty-sixth was in the thickest of the fight ; in that battle the intrepid Lieutenant- Colonel Chapin was killed, and Major Higgins was seriously wounded. With sadly diminished ranks the men marched on the field at Gettysburg, where they again faced the enemy s rifles until one-third of their number had fallen ; its loss there was u killed, 51 wounded, and 4 missing. The regiment reenlisted, and in January, 1864, went home on the customary veterans furlough. Having been transferred to the Second Corps, it fought under Hancock in the campaigns of 1864. It sustained itself gallantly in a sharp fight at the Po River, losing 96 men there, and suf fering the severest percentage of loss of any regiment in that action. It lost 201 men during the first three weeks of the Wilderness campaign May 6th to the 25th. Its casualties during the siege of Petersburg were also very large ; Lieutenant-Colonel Stafford, a brave and popular officer was killed there. The Eighty-sixth fairly^ earned its reputation as "the fighting regiment of the Southern Tier." THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 217 EIGHTY-EIGHTH NEW YORK INFANTRY.

Fourth regiment, Irish Brigade ; a brigade which never lost a flag, although it captured over twenty stands of colors from the enemy. At Fredericksburg the Eighty-eighth, in company with the brigade, partici pated in the gallant but unsuccessful assault on Marye s Heights. The brigade was then commanded by General Meagher, and the division by General Hancock. While in line at Fredericksburg awaiting the order for the assault, little sprigs of green were distributed among the men, every officer and man in the brigade, including Meagher and his staff, placing one in his cap. After the assault had failed, a long, well-aligned row of dead lay on the crest of the hill within a few yards of the Confederate breastworks, and by each pale dead face was a sprig of Irish green. The brigade became so reduced by losses that the Sixty-third, Sixty-ninth, and Eighty-eighth were, shortly before Gettysburg, consolidated into two companies each. At that battle, the brigade halted for a few moments, just as it neared the " wheatfield," and knelt with uncovered heads while Father Corby, the Chaplain of the Eighty-eighth, gave them his benediction ; the men, rising to their feet, went into action immediately. Colonel Kelly, who commanded the brigade at Gettysburg, was afterwards killed in the assault on Petersburg, where he was again in command of the brigade. Major William Horgan fell at Fredericksburg in the desperate assault on Marye s Heights. 218 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. NINETY-THIRD NEW YORK INFANTRY -- "MORGAN RIFLES."

Organized at Albany in January, 1862, from companies recruited principally in Washington county. It was formed by uniting four companies of sharpshooters, which had been recruited through the efforts of Lieu tenant-Colonel B. C. Butler, with companies formed under the superintendence of Colonel Crocker. The regi ment left Albany on the i4th of February, 1862, with 998 rank and file, going to New York, where it encamped on Riker s Island until March 7th, when it went to Washington. Upon its arrival there it was attached to Palmer s Brigade of Casey s Division, and on March 30, 1862 embarked at Alexandria for the Peninsula campaign. The Ninety-third was detailed, May 21, 1862, as a guard at General Headquarters, and was retained on that duty successively by Generals Burnside, Hooker and Meade. The regiment was among the first to reenlist, going home in January, 1864, on the usual thirty days furlough allowed to veteran or reenlisted regiments. After nearly two years service at Army Headquarters, it was ordered on April 19, 1864, to report to General Birney s Division for duty, where it was assigned to Hays s(2d) Brigade. Under command of Colonel Crocker, the regiment earned new laurels at the Wilderness, in which it lost 17 officers and 243 men killed and wounded, out of 433 who were engaged, its gallantry in battle eliciting the hearty thanks of its division commander. The Ninety-third was a great favorite at headquarters on account of its superior discipline, drill, and general efficiency. Having reenlisted at the expiration of its three years term, it preserved its organization through the war, and was mustered out June 29, 1865. THRKK HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS.

It was attached, soon after, to the famous Excelsior Brigade, in which command it was under fire at Fredericksburg, where a few of the men were wounded. The regiment was actively engaged at Chancellorsville then in Berry s Division exhibiting a commendable steadiness and efficiency. Its loss in that battle was 4 killed, 49 wounded, and 13 missing. At Gettysburg in Humphreys s Division it became involved in the disaster of the second day s battle, but like the rest of the Third Corps, it fell back in good order to the second line, fighting as it went. Its casualties in this battle aggregated 30 killed, 154 wounded, and 19 missing; total, 203. Eight officers were killed and 9 wounded in that battle. The Third Corps having been merged into the Second, the One Hundred and Twentieth was placed in Brewster s Brigade of Mott s Division, and from that time fought under the Second Corps flags, the men, however, retaining their old Third Corps badge. Mott s Division having been discontinued, the Excelsior Brigade was placed in Birney s (3d) Division, becoming the Fourth Brigade. General Mott succeeded eventu ally to the command of this division, and Colonel McAllister to that of the brigade.

The regiment faced a terrible fire of musketry at Salem Church, Va., where it lost 48 killed, 1 73 wounded, and 55 missing; total, 276, out of 453 officially reported as present. The missing ones were mostly all killed or wounded, and the loss was the heaviest sustained by any regiment in that battle. Colonel Upton was an officer of rare ability, and the regiment, which was composed of unusually good material, soon became, under Upton s care, a very efficient one. In the battle of Spotsylvania, May loth, Colonel Upton com manded, and led in person, an assaulting column of twelve picked regiments belonging to the Sixth Corps, the One Hundred and Twenty-first being placed in the advance, an honor which cost it dear. Its losses at Spotsyl vania amounted to 49 killed and 106 wounded; none missing. The regiment captured four flags at Rappahan nock Station, and two at Sailor s Creek.

Y., from companies raised in the Twenty-fourth Senatorial District, Broome, Tompkins, and Tioga counties. Recruiting commenced August 15, 1862, the full regiment being mustered into service on the 25th of the following month. Leaving Binghamton, two days later, 1,008 strong, it went to Harper s Ferry, arriving there on September 30, 1862. While there it was assigned to the Third Brigade, Second Division (Geary s), Twelfth Corps the "White Star" Division in which it remained permanently. This regiment won special honors at Gettysburg, then in Greene s Brigade, which, alone and unas sisted, held Gulp s Hill during a critical period of that battle against a desperate attack of vastly superior force. The casualties in the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh at Gettysburg exceeded those of any other regiment in the Corps, amounting to 40 killed, 87 wounded, and 10 missing. The gallant defense of Culp s Hill by Greene s Brigade, and the terrible execution inflicted by its musketry on the assaulting column of the enemy form one of the most noteworthy incidents of the war. The Twelfth Corps left Virginia in September, 1863, and went to Tennessee, joining Grant s Army at Chattanooga. In the month following their arrival the regiment was engaged in the midnight battle at Wauhatchie, Tenn., where it lost 15 killed and 75 wounded; and, a few weeks later, fought with Hooker at Lookout Mountain in the famous " battle above the clouds ;" casualties in that battle, 6 killed and 32 wounded. In April, 1864, the corps number was changed to the Twentieth, General Hooker being placed in command. A large accession was received from the Eleventh Corps, but Colonel Ireland and General Geary retained their respective commands. The One Hundred and Thirty-seventh shared in all the marches and battles of the Atlanta campaign, and then marched with Sherman to the Sea. 234 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Organized at Rochester, N. Y., and mustered into service September 13, 1862, leaving the State on September 20. The regiment joined the Army of the Potomac in November, and was assigned to Warren s (3d) Brigade, Sykes s (2d) Division, Fifth Corps. It was present with this command at Fredericksburg. where it was under fire for the first time, a few of the men being wounded there. Colonel O Rorke was killed at Gettysburg while leading his men into action on Little Round Top, where their prompt action aided largely in seizing that important position, the regiment losing there 26 killed, 89 wounded, and 18 missing; total 133. The One Hundred and Fortieth was then in Ayres s Division the division of regulars. In 1864 the regulars were brigaded in one command under Ayres, and the One Hundred and Fortieth was placed in the same brigade ; the division was commanded by General Charles Griffin. But in June, 1864, the regiment was transferred to the First Brigade of Ayres s (2d) Division. This brigade was commanded in turn by Colonel Gregory, General Joseph Hayes, Colonel Otis, and General Winthrop. The latter officer fell mortally wounded at Five Forks. The regiment was in the hottest of the fighting at the Wilderness, and suffered severely there, losing 23 killed, 1 18 wounded, and 114 captured or missing; total, 255. Three days later on May 8th it was engaged in the first of the series of battles at Spotsylvania, in which action Colonel Ryan and Major Milo L. Starks were killed. At Spotsylvania the casualties in the regiment were 1 2 killed and 48 wounded ; and at the Weldon Railroad, 4 killed, 19 wounded, and 51 captured or missing. The regiment was composed of exceptionally good material ; the men were a neat, clean lot, and in their handsome Zouave costume attracted favorable attention wherever they appeared.

Organized at Ogdensburgh from companies recruited in St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, and was mustered in September 29, 1862. Proceeding immediately to Washington, it remained on duty there until April 19, 1863, when it moved to Suffolk, Va. It participated in the campaign of Gordon s Division, up the Peninsula in June, and in the Maryland march, soon after Gettysburg. From Warrenton, Va., the regiment went to Morris Island, S. C., arriving there August 17, 1863. In the following May, the One Hundred and Forty- second returned to Virginia, and joined Butler s Army of the James, having been assigned to the First Brigade, Second Division (Turner s), Tenth Corps. While at Cold Harbor the division was attached for a short time to the Eighteenth Corps. The losses in the regiment at Drewry s Bluff and Bermuda Hundred -- May 16-20, 1864 were 19 killed, 78 wounded, and 22 missing; at Chaffin s Farm, 6 killed, 51 wounded, and 10 missing; and at Darbytown Road, 8 killed, 90 wounded, and 5 missing. In December, 1864, the Tenth Corps was merged in the newly-formed Twenty-fourth Corps, the regiment being placed in Curtis s (ist) Brigade, Ames s (2(1) Division. In the same month this division, including the One Hundred and Forty-second, sailed with Butler on the first expedition against Fort Fisher, N. C. It landed there, and when the brigade was recalled from its advance the regiment had secured a position near to and in rear of the fort, so near that Lieutenant Walling had captured a battle flag which had been shot down from the parapets. A battalion of the enemy were captured by the One Hundred and Seventeenth New York, and the whole opposition of the Confederates was so weak that the officers believed that the fort could have been taken then with small loss. The statements of General Curtis and other officers were so positive on this point, that General Grant was largely influenced by them in his decision to order a second attempt. In this second affair, which was successful, General Curtis led the assault and fell seriously wounded, but survived to enjoy his honors as the " Hero of Fort Fisher." 236 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. --Recruited in Oneida county, and organized at Rome, N. Y. It was mustered into the service of the United States on October 10, 1862, and proceeded immediately to Washington. In November, 1862, it joined the Army of the Potomac at Snicker s Gap, Va., where it was assigned to Warren s Brigade, Sykes s Division, Fifth Corps, a division composed mostly of regulars. It marched with them to Fredericksburg, where it participated in its first battle. When the Durye"e Zouaves were mustered out, in May, 1863, the recruits of that famous regiment were transferred to the One Hundred and Forty-sixth ; they numbered 283 men, and were a valuable accession. In 1864, a similar transfer was made from the Forty- fourth New York when this regiment went home. The regiment encountered its severest fighting at the battle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1864, where it suffered a terrible loss, not only in killed and wounded, but in captured men, nearly 200 having been taken prisoners. Colonel Jenkins and Major Henry H. Curran were killed in that bloody encounter, while the total loss of the regiment was 20 killed, 67 wounded, and 225 captured or missing. In 1865, the regiment was in Winthrop s (ist) Brigade, Ayres s (2d) Division, and was prominently engaged in that command at the battles of White Oak Road, and Five Forks, General Winthrop being killed in the latter engagement while leading a successful charge of the brigade. The One Hundred and Forty-sixth was well drilled, and at one time wore a conspicuous Zouave uniform. General Joseph Hayes, its last brigade commander, in taking leave of the regiment wrote, that " associated for a long time with the infantry of the Regular Army, the One Hundred and Forty-sixth yields the palm to none." The war having ended, the regiment was mustered out of service July 16, 1865. THUKK HUNDRED FIGHTING RI.<.IMI:NTS. 237 ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVENTH NEW YORK INFANTRY.

NOTES. The One Hundred and Forty-seventh was organized in the city of Oswego, N. V., from companies recruited in Oswego county, and was mustered into service on September 23, 1862. Its first casualties in battle occurred May 29, 1863, in the affair at Fitz Hugh s Crossing below Fredericksburg, one of the preliminary movements of the Chancellorsville campaign. The regiment, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Miller, then marched to Gettysburg. The brigade Cutler s was the first infantry to arrive on that field, and to it fell the honor of opening that famous battle, the first volley coming from the rifles of the Fifty-sixth Pennsylva nia.* When Cutler s troops were forced back, the order to retire failed to reach the One Hundred and Forty- seventh, as Colonel Miller fell wounded and senseless just as he received it, and so the gallant band, under Major Harney, continued to hold their ground. A temporary success near by enabled them to retire in good order; but not all of them, for of the 380 who entered that fight, 76 were killed or mortally wounded, 146 were wounded, and 79 were missing; total, 3Oi.| During Grant s bloody campaign of 1864-5, tne regiment fought in Warren s Fifth Corps, being actively- engaged in all its battles. In December, 1864, the remnant of the Seventy-sixth New York infantry was trans ferred to the One Hundred and Forty-seventh New York. This honor is also claimed by the Fourteenth Brooklyn, of the same brigade ; but, after list -ning attentively to an exhaustive argument, made on the ground, and in whieh both parties were ably represented by surviving itartici pants, thu evidence appeared to favor the Fifty-sixth Pennsylvania. t From inscription on monument at Gettysburg. 238 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. - - The companies composing this regiment were recruited in Onondaga county, and organized at Syracuse, N. Y. It was mustered in on September 18, 1862, the Colonelcy having been accepted by General Barnum, who had already served with distinction as Major of the Twelfth New York. The regiment left Syra cuse on September 23, 1862, and within a short time joined General McClellan s army. It was assigned to the Third Brigade, Geary s Division, Twelfth Corps, in which command it fought at Chancellorsville, losing there 15 killed, 68 wounded, and 103 captured or missing. At Gettysburg the regiment participated in the famous defense of Gulp s Hill, made by Greene s Brigade, in which the One Hundred and Forty-ninth, fighting behind breastworks, lost 6 killed, 46 wounded, and 3 missing, but inflicted many times that loss on its assailants. With the Twelfth Corps, it was transferred to the Army of the Cumberland, and the Onondaga boys fought as bravely in Tennessee as in Virginia or at Gettysburg. At Lookout Mountain, Tenn., they captured five flags while fighting under Hooker in that memorable affair, their casualties amounting to 10 killed and 64 wounded. Before starting on the Atlanta campaign the Twelfth Corps was designated the Twentieth, its command being given to General Hooker. The regiment started on that campaign with 380 fighting men, of whom 136 were killed or wounded before reaching Atlanta. Lieutenant-Colonel Charles B. Randall, a gallant and skilful officer, was killed at Peach Tree Creek, in which action the regiment sustained its heaviest loss while on that campaign, its casual ties there aggregating 17 killed, 25 wounded, and 10 missing. The regiment after marching with Sherman to the Sea was actively engaged in the Siege of Savannah, and then marched through the Carolinas on the final campaign which ended in the surrender of Johnson.

One of the four regiments forming the Corcoran Legion, a brigade composed, mostly, of Irish soldiers. The One Hundred and Sixty-fourth was recruited in New York, Brooklyn, Buffalo, ami in the counties of Niagara and St. Lawrence. It was organized in New York City, and mustered into service on November 19, 1 862. The Legion was ordered to the Peninsula soon after, where it was placed in the Seventh Corps. On the 29th of January, 1863, the brigade started on the Blackwater Expedition (General Corcoran commanding the Division), during which it saw its first fighting, at the affair known as the Deserted House. The gallant behavior of the Legion in this engagement elicited a General Order from Department Headquarters which was highly compli mentary to the command. In April, 1863, it was actively engaged in the Siege of Suffolk. General Corcoran commanded the Legion up to the time of his death, which occurred at Fairfax, Va., December 22, 1863. From July, 1863, until May, 1864, the Legion was stationed near Washington, after which it joined Grant s army at Spotsylvania, where it was assigned to Gibbon s (2(1) Division, Second Corps. At Cold Harbor it was in the assaulting column, and succeeded in carrying the portion oi the enemy s works in its immediate front, but with a heavy loss in men and officers. Seven officers of the regiment were killed in that assault, including Colonel McMahon, who was shot down after having with his own hands planted the regimental colors on the Confederate works ; the regiment, however, was obliged to fall back, owing to the failure at other points of the line, having lost 16 killed, 59 wounded, and 82 missing. The Legion was commanded at Spotsylvania by Colonel Murphy (i82d N. Y.), who afterwards fell mortally wounded at Dabney s Mills. The casualties in the regiment at Spotsylvania were 12 killed, 66 wounded, and 14 missing; total, 92. Mustered out July 15, 1865. 24:0 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Y., and mustered in by companies during September and October, 1862, the men coming from Rensselaer and Washington counties. The regiment was actively engaged in the defence of Suffolk, Va., April, 1863, where it served in Foster s Brigade. Corcoran s Division. In the following summer it participated in the operations about Charleston Harbor, and in May, 1864, it moved with the Army of the James to Bermuda Hundred. The regiment disembarked there with Butler s Army, and hard fighting, with its consequent heavy losses, immediately ensued. At Cold Harbor it fought in Martindale s Division ; Col onel McConihe was killed in that battle. The One Hundred and Sixty-ninth held a perilous position in the trenches before Petersburg, losing men there, killed or wounded, almost every day. While there, on the evening of June 30, 1864, the brigade (Barton s) was ordered to charge the enemy s lines, so that, under cover of their fire, Curtis s Brigade could throw up an advanced rifle-pit ; but the regiment while going into position was prema turely discovered by the enemy, and thereby drew upon themselves a severe fire, which not only frustrated the plan, but cost the regiment many lives. The regiment was one of those selected for the expedition against Fort Fisher; it was then in Bell s (3d) Brigade, Ames s Division, Tenth Corps, and took part in the desperate but victorious assault on that stronghold. A large proportion of its losses there, however, occurred at the explosion of the magazine, after the fort had been captured. After the fall of Fort Fisher, the regiment accompanied the Tenth Corps in its advance on Wilmington. It was mustered out July 19, 1865. * Does not include men transferred from the One Hundred and Forty-second New York, after the war had ended. t Including those killed by the explosion of the magazine, the day after thp fort was captured THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 241 ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTIETH NEW YORK INFANTRY.

NOTES. When General Corcoran returned from his year of imprisonment in Richmond, he raised the brigade of Irish regiments known as the Corcoran Legion, composed of the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth, One Hundred and Sixty-fourth, One Hundred and Seventieth, and One Hundred and Eighty-second (Sixty-ninth N. Y. S. M.) New York regiments. The One Hundred and Seventieth was recruited in New York and Brooklyn, and was mustered in at Staten Island on October 7, 1862. It embarked for Fort Monroe in November, and after a few weeks service on the Peninsula went to Suffolk. It was actively engaged in the defence of Suffolk, at which time the Legion was commanded by Colonel Murphy, of the Sixty-ninth N. Y. S. M., and the division by General Corcoran the First Division, Seventh Corps. It remained on duty in that vicinity until July, 1863, when the Legion (General Corcoran commanding) was ordered to Washington, where it performed garrison and outpost duty. In May, 1864, it was transferred to the Army of the Potomac, and placed in Gibbon s ((!) Division of the Second Corps, the Legion, under command of Colonel Murphy, arriving just in time to take part in the closing battles around Spotsylvania. At the North Anna the One Hundred and Seventieth encountered a severe musketry fire, its casualty list there being the largest of any regiment in that battle : loss, 22 killed, 55 wounded, and 22 missing; total, 99. It met with another heavy loss at Petersburg, June 16-22, 1864, where its casualties amounted to 22 killed, 1 1 1 wounded, and 3 missing ; total, 136. Most of this loss occurred in the assault of June 16. The regiment was again hotly engaged at Ream s Station, where Major Donnelly was killed. From June, 1864, until the close of the war, the Legion, together with the Eighth New York Heavy Artillery, formed the Second Brigade of the Second Division, Second Corps. 16 242 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. The above enrollment may give an erroneous idea of the size of the regiment. Fully one- third vere not enrolled until after the regiment was through its hardest fighting ; they were conscripts, of whom over 400 deserted, most of them deserting before they joined the regiment, although their names went to swell the enrollment. The Eighth left the State October i, 1861, and joined the Second Jersey Brigade at Meridian Hill, Washington. Having been assigned to Hooker s Division it fought at Williamsburg, where it lost 35 killed, 122 wounded, and 4 missing; total, 161 ; Major Peter M. Ryerson was among the killed. At Chancellorsville, the division (Berry s) took a prominent part, the Jersey Brigade encountering there the severest fighting in its expe rience. The Eighth lost in that battle, 18 killed, 101 wounded, and 6 missing, out of 268 muskets officially reported present. Humphreys commanded Hooker s old division at Gettysburg, where the casualties of the regiment amounted to 7 killed, 38 wounded, and 2 missing, out of a small number engaged. When the Thiid Corps was broken up, in March, 1864, the division was transferred to the Second Corps and General Mott placed in command. The regiment fought in all the succeeding battles of the Second Corps, earning laurels for itself and for its State. At Deep Bottom, August 16, 1864, it numbered only about 100 men; under the gallant Ram sey it won official mention for its admirable bearing in that battle. 250 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. The Eleventh reported at Washington, August 26, 1862, and moved directly into Virginia where, in November, it was assigned to Carr s (ist) Brigade. Sickles s (2d) Division, Third Corps. The regiment made a splendid fight at Chancellorsville, the division, under General Berry, taking a very prominent part ; Berry was killed and the regimental casualties amounted to 18 killed, 146 wounded, and 5 missing; total, 169, out of about 500 present for duty. The division was commanded by Humphreys, at Gettysburg, and in the battle of the second day fought at the Emmettsburg Road. The Eleventh took 275 officers and men into that action, losing 17 killed, 124 wounded, and 12 missing ; total, 153. Major Phillip J. Kearney was mortally wounded in this battle. In the action at Locust Grove (Mine Run), November 27, 1863, the regiment lost 6 killed, 20 wounded, and 4 missing. This was the last battle of the Third Corps, for in March, 1864, the War Department issued the foolish and unjust order directing that the gallant organization be broken up and transferred to the Second Corps. The Eleventh thereupon became part of McAllister s Brigade, Mott s Division, Second Corps, in which Corps it fought during the remainder of the war. This brigade distinguished itself in the action at the Boydton Road, Colonel McAllister receiving a brevet brigadier s commission for his services on that field. A large number of conscripts were sent to the regiment in 1864-5, but the fighting was done, for the most part, by the original regiment.

NOTES. Left the State September 7, 1862, joining the main Army in December, when it was placed in the Second Brigade (Win. Hays s), Third Division (French s), Second Corps. In this brigade it fought at Chancel lorsville, its first battle; its casualties there were 24 killed, 132 wounded, and 22 missing; total, 178. General Alex. Hays led the division at Gettysburg, and General Thomas A. Smyth, the brigade. During that battle the Twelfth distinguished itself on the afternoon of the second day by a gallant charge of four companies, in which they captured the Bliss barn, a building situated midway between the lines, and filled with the enemy s sharp shooters ; seven Confederate officers and 92 men were captured by the Jerseymen in this notable affair ; but, not without severe loss to the four companies engaged. The losses of the entire regiment at Gettysburg were 23 killed, 83 wounded, and 9 missing. Upon the reorganization of the Army, in March, 1864, the regiment was placed in Carroll s (3d) Brigade of Gibbon s (2d) Division, a famous brigade in which seven States were represented. The Twelfth crossed the Rapidan with 425 men, of which number 177 were killed or wounded during the bloody week of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania; Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas H. Davis, who commanded at these battles, was killed at Spotsylvania. The Twelfth made a charge at North Anna, deployed in one rank, which General Smyth pronounced the finest he ever saw. Another hard fight, this time at Cold Harbor, and the regiment was reduced to 90 muskets. In February, 1865, Lieutenant-Colonel Willian of the Eighth New Jersey was promoted to the colonelcy of the Twelfth. 252 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. FOURTEENTH NEW JERSEY INFANTRY.

NOTES. Organized at Freehold, N. J., and left the State, 1,007 strong, on September 2d, 1862. Colonel Truex had served as major, and Lieutenant-Colonel Hall as adjutant, of the Fifth N. J. V. It was ordered on guard duty along the B. & O. R. R. near Monocacy, Md., where it remained until June, 1863, when it moved to Harper s Ferry. In the following month, upon Lee s invasion, the garrison (French s Division) was withdrawn to Frederick, where it joined the Army of the Potomac, soon after Gettysburg, becoming the Third Division of the Third Corps. The regiment was under fire at Locust Grove (Mine Run) for the first time, where it lost 14 killed, and 49 wounded ; its casualties were the largest, numerically, of any regiment engaged in the various actions incidental to the Mine Run campaign. Upon the discontinuance of the third Corps, March, 1864, the division was transferred to the Sixth Corps as Ricketts s Third Division, the regiment being placed in Morris s (ist) Brigade. Its casualties in May and June, 1864, nearly all of which occurred at Cold Harbor, were 29 killed, 107 wounded, and 15 missing; the latter were mostly killed. In July the division returned to Maryland to meet Early s invasion, and at the Monocacy the regiment lost 24 killed, 87 wounded, and 29 missing, out of 350 men engaged. In the battle of the Opequon, Major Peter Vredenburgh was killed while leading a charge on a battery, the regiment losing in that action 6 killed, and 56 wounded. Colonel Truex commanded the brigade in the final and victorious assault of the corps on the works at Petersburg. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS 258 FIFTEENTH NEW JERSEY INFANTRY.

Colonel Fowler was forced to resign within a few months on account of ill health, and died before the close of the war. He was succeeded by Penrose, then a Lieutenant in the Third United States Infantry. Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell had served with honor in the Third New Jersey, and, as Colonel Penrose was in command of the brigade much of the time, led the Fifteenth in most of its battles. The regiment joined the Army of the Potomac at Harper s Ferry on October i, 1862, and was assigned to the First Jersey Brigade, Brooks s (ist) Division, Sixth Corps ; it remained in the First Division during its entire term of service. It was under fire at the first battle of Fredericksburg, sus taining a small loss, but in the second battle at that place Salem Church it lost 24 killed, 126 wounded, and 4 missing. On May 4, 1864, the regiment crossed the Rapidan with 15 officers and 429 muskets available in action; nearly 300 of these fell at Spotsylvania, the muster-out rolls bearing the names of 116 who were killed or mortally wounded there. In two weeks the command was reduced to 6 officers and 136 muskets. The rem nant of the regiment fought under Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley, where they sustained another terrible per centage of loss at Cedar Creek ; Major Lambert Boeman was killed in that action. The rolls of the Fifteenth were swelled by large accessions of conscripts and substitutes who joined in the winter of 1864-5, but not most of the fighting was over. The loss of life fell largely on the old regiment. 254 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. SEVENTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY (80TH PA. VOLS.) MINTY S BRIGADE GARRARD S DIVISION CAVALRY CORPS, A. C.

Organized at Harrisburg in the fall of 1861, from companies in various parts of the State. It left Harrisburg, December 19, 1861, and went to Jeffersonville, Ind., where it was placed in a Camp of Instruction, but after a four weeks stay took the field in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Second and Third Battalions were actively engaged, May 5, 1862, in an affair at Lebanon, Tenn. ; the Third Battalion, on July 13, 1862, was over powered and captured after a hard contest at Murfreesboro, Tenn. The Seventh distinguished itself by a gallant charge through the streets of Shelbyville, Tenn., on June 27, 1863. This charge was made by three companies under Captain Davis, who with his men dashed through the main street, up to the public square, in which there was a battery commanding the approach. The men rode through the fire of canister up to the muzzles of the guns, into the battery, fought for a while over the cannons, and then, aided by troops which entered the town at other points, drove the garrison through the streets, out into the country and into the Duck River. The Seventh lost two officers killed in this charge. The regiment reenlisted in the spring of 1864, and then accompanied Sherman s Army on the Atlanta campaign. It participated, in the spring of 1865, in Wilson s expedition to the Gulf, and in Long s Division took part in the daring and successful assault on the enemy s intrenchments at Selma, Ala.

The Eleventh was raised originally as an independent regiment under special authority from the War Department, but was afterwards placed in the Pennsylvania line. Some of the companies were raised in other states ; two came from New York, one from Iowa, one from Ohio, and one from New Jersey. It organ ized at Philadelphia, October 5, 1861, and the same month went to Virginia, 1130 strong. After a month s stay in a camp of instruction it proceeded to Fort Monroe, where it spent six months, or more in drill and light duty. Active service commenced in May, 1862, some of the companies doing duty near Suffolk, while five com panies served with General McClellan s Army on the Peninsula. In 1863, the regiment was employed on scout ing and outpost duty in the vicinity of Suffolk and the Blackwater, during which several minor affairs or skirmishes occurred, with considerable loss in wounded and killed. Over 400 of the men reenlisted in the fall of 1863, which, with the recruits, preserved the organization of the regiment after its term had expired. In 1864, it fought in Kautz s Cavalry Division (afterwards Mackenzie s), and at Ream s Station lost over one hundred in killed and wounded, including three officers killed. At Five Forks another sharp contest occurred, in which Major Monroe and two officers were killed, together with several of their men. 256 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Organized at Harrisburg, Pa., June 20, 1861, from companies recruited in the central counties of the State. The regiment was immediately assigned to duty at Cumberland, Md., but in August it marched to Washington, and joined the division of Pennsylvania Reserves encamped at Tenallytown. It was placed in the First Brigade, then commanded by General John F. Reynolds ; the division was commanded by General George A. McCall. The Reserves marched into Virginia in October, 1861, where they performed the duties incident to an army of occupation until June 9, 1862, when they were ordered to reinforce General McClellan s Peninsular Army. The regiment was, soon after, engaged at Mechanicsville, where it received the hottest of the enemy s fire. It fought well the next day at Gaines s Mill, and three days later again faced the enemy at Glendale. Colonel Simmons was killed there while in command of the brigade ; the regiment losing 10 killed, 57 wounded, and 49 missing. It met with another severe loss at Fredericksburg, the casualties in that battle amounting to 18 killed, 87 wounded, and 61 missing ; total, 166. Major Frank Zentmeyer was among the killed, and the missing ones were all killed or wounded. The Fifth participated in the opening battles of General Grant s campaigns in Virginia ; Lieutenant-Colonel George Dare, who was in command, was killed at the Wilderness. The regiment left the field on May 31, 1864, and proceeded to Harrisburg, where it was mustered-out, June 13, 1864. THKEE HUNDRED FIGIITINO KKUIMKNTS.

Organized at Pittsburg, June 28, 1861, arriving at Washington, July 23d. The Reserves took the field in October, crossing into Virginia where they were engaged on outpost duty for several months. In May, 1862, the division advanced to Fredericksburg, but returning immediately embarked for the Peninsula where it joined General McClellan s Army, then in front of Richmond. Two weeks later the regiment took part in the Seven Days Battles, its losses amounting to 32 killed, 113 wounded, and 85 missing; total, 230. Returning to the Rappahannock, the division was transferred to McDowell s Corps afterwards the First. Throughout the battle summer and autumn of 1862, the Eighth fought in every engagement, and then the remnant of the gallant regiment marched to the field of Fredericksburg. There the Reserves, under Meade, charged a strong position of the enemy, and, though successful at points, were finally repulsed, the Eighth losing 131 men, or half its number. In February, 1863, the Reserves were ordered into the defences of Washington, having been with drawn from active service in order that they might rest and recruit their shattered ranks. The Eighth remained there until the spring of 1864, when it rejoined the Army of the Potomac, the division having been again assigned to the Fifth Corps. The regiment fought at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, and then on May 17, 1864, while confronting the. enemy s lines, received the welcome order which announced the expiration of its term of service. 17 258 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Organized at Pittsburg, June 28, 1861, eight of the companies coming from Allegheny County, one from Crawford, and one from Beaver. The regiment arrived at Washington, July 26, 1861, where it joined McCall s Division of Pennsylvania Reserves, then encamped at Tenallytown, Md. It remained thereuntil October, at which time the Reserves marched into Virginia. The regiment was assigned to the Third Brigade, General E. O. Ord ; this brigade fought the battle of Dranesville, December 20, 1861, one of the first of the Union victo ries. The division marched with McDowell in his advance on Manassas, in the spring of 1862, and then was transferred to the Army of the Potomac, where it was actively engaged in the Seven Days Battle. At Glendale it made a desperate fight over Cooper s Battery, in which affair it captured the colors of the Tenth Alabama. Rejoining McDowell s Corps it fought at Manassas, where it lost 12 killed, 52 wounded, and 35 missing. Closely following, came South Mountain and Antietam, the casualties in the latter amounting to 17 killed, and 66 wounded. General C. F. Jackson, the brigade commander and former Colonel of the Ninth, fell mortally wounded at Fredericksburg. In the spring of 1864, the regiment crossed the Rapidan with Grant, but on May 4th, while in line of battle at the Wilderness ready to go into action, its term of service expired, and the men were ordered to return to Washington for muster-out.

NOTES. Recruited in Western Pennsylvania in May, 1861, with rendezvous at Pittsburg. The men were of more than usual intelligence and education. Company I was recruited from the students at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa., while Company D came from Jefferson College ; the other companies were composed largely of similar material, teachers and pupils serving in the ranks together. The regiment arrived at Washington July 24, 1 86 1, and joined the Reserves at their Camp of Instruction, Tenallytown, Md. It participated in the brilliant success of Ord s Brigade at Dranesville, Va., December 20, 1861, and early in the following spring marched with the Reserves in the advance on Manassas. In June, 1862, the division under General McCall was ordered to the Peninsula where it was assigned to General Fitz John Porter s Corps the Fifth and fought with Porter at Gaines s Mill. The loss of the Tenth in that engagement was 23 killed, 86 wounded, and 25 missing ; total, 134. After leaving the Peninsula, the Reserves rejoined the First Corps, but owing to their heavy losses in 1862, they were ordered soon after the battle of Fredericksburg to return to Washington that they might rest and recruit. Hence, they were absent from Ghancellorsville ; but when they heard that their native State was invaded, they petitioned for orders to march to its defence, and two of the three brigades, accordingly, rejoined the army and fought at Gettysburg. 260 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. The Eleventh sustained the heaviest loss of any regiment in the Pennsylvania Reserves, while its percentage of loss is among the largest of any in the war. It was recruited in Western Pennsylvania, and arrived July 26, 1 86 1, at Washington, where it was assigned to the Second Brigade, which was then commanded by General Meade. At Gaines s Mill, the Eleventh held its position in the face of a terrible fire until the othei- troops had been forced to fall back, when, being surrounded by the enemy, it was obliged to surrender; Company B was detailed on fatigue duty just before the fight commenced, and thus escaped the fate of their comrades. The captured men and officers were exchanged August 5th, rejoining the Army before it left the Peninsula. Resuming their place in the First Corps, the Reserves took part in the battles of Manassas and South Mountain ; when they entered the field at Antietam, the Eleventh had less than 200 men inline. Some recruits were obtained, and some of the wounded returned, so that it went into action at Fredericksburg with 394 officers and men ; of these, 21 r were killed or wounded. After a few months of needed rest at Washington the Reserves were assigned to the Fifth Corps, in which command they served at Gettysburg and in. the Wilderness campaign. The Eleventh was relieved from duty, May 30, 1864, and ordered home for muster-out, the recruits having been transferred to the One Hundred and Ninetieth Pennsylvania.

NOTES. Known also as the First Pennsylvania Rifles, or Kane Rifles. It was recruited in April, 1861, from the lumbermen of the Pennsylvania forests ; the men were strong and hardy, each being a skillful marks man, armed with his own rifle. The regiment was subsequently armed with Sharpe s rifles, and then again with Spencer seven-shooters. Each man wore a bucktail on his hat, and hence their name ; one which became famous throughout the army, because of the extraordinary efficiency of the regiment. It took the field in June, proceeding to Cumberland, Md., in which vicinity it was actively engaged on scout and picket duty until October, when it joined its division the Pennsylvania Reserves at Washington. In the spring of 1862, four companies, under Colonel Kane, served in the Shenandoah Valley, while the others accompanied the Reserves to the Peninsula. The regiment was united again at Manassas, in which battle they were engaged, and then marched with General McClellan to Antietam, where Colonel McNiel was killed. The Bucktails met with a severe loss at Fredericksburg, their casualties there amounting to 19 killed, 1 13 wounded, and 29 missing ; total, 161. At Gettysburg the brigade, led by the gallant McCandless, rendered good service near Little Round Top. Colonel Taylor, who was killed there, was a brave officer and a gentleman of culture and accomplishments ; he was a brother of Bayard Taylor. The Bucktails did good work under Grant at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, after which they were mustered out at Harrisburg, Pa., June 1 1, 1864, their term of service having expired. 262 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Originally a three months regiment which was organized in April, 1861, and was under fire July 2, 1 86 1, at Falling Waters, Md. Reentering the service for three years, it was again mustered in at Harrisburg, Pa. It left there November 27, 1861, and proceeded to Annapolis with nine companies, numbering 813 officers and men ; the tenth company joined the command nine months later, on the eve of its first battle at Thoroughfare Gap, Va. In May, 1862, it joined McDowell s Corps, having been assigned to Hartsuffs (3d) Brigade, Rickett s (2d) Division, in which command it fought at Manassas ; it lost there 44 killed, 1 14 wounded, and 88 missing ; a total of 246, including the losses at Thoroughfare Gap and Rappahannock ; Lieutenant-Colonel Martin was among the killed. The whole brunt of the fight at Thoroughfare Gap fell on the Eleventh: Three weeks later the men were again hotly engaged at Antietam, where 124 more fell under the enemy s fire. The reenlisted men received their furlough in February, 1864, and went home, 276 in number, returning the next month with 314 additional recruits. The regiment entered Grant : campaign as a part of Baxter s Brigade, Robinson s Division, Fifth Corps, in which command it was engaged at the Wilderness and at Spotsylvania, Major Keenan losing his life in the latter battle. While carrying the State flag of the Eleventh, three color bearers were killed, and eleven wounded. The service of this regiment was a long and active one, and its loss in battle was exceptionally large. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. TWENTY-SIXTH PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

NOTES. The Twenty-sixth was one of the first regiments that marched to the defence of the National Capital. In company with the Sixth Massachusetts, it was attacked by a mob while passing through Baltimore, on April 19, 1861, in which affair the regiment lost one man killed and several wounded. The regiment was not mustered-in until May 5th, when it was sworn in for three years ; the enrollment, however, included very few of the original command who were at Baltimore, as they had tendered their services for a short term only. The Twenty-sixth encamped at Washington in May, 1861, and in October, having been assigned to Graver s Brigade, Hooker s Division, moved to Budd s Ferry, Md., where it was stationed until the spring campaign of 1862. At Chancel lorsville in Berry s Division it made a good fight, Colonel Tilghman being severely wounded, while the regi ment lost 1 1 killed, 71 wounded, and 9 missing. Its hardest fighting occurred at Gettysburg, where, out of 382 engaged, it lost 30 killed, 176 wounded, and 7 missing; total, 213; two officers and three color bearers were killed there. In 1864 the regiment served in McAllister s Brigade, Mott s Division, Second Corps. It took part in Hancock s grand charge at Spotsylvania, and in the subsequent movements to the Pamunkey ; at the latter place it embarked for Washington, June 3, 1864, en route for home. It was mustered-out at Philadelphia, June 1 8, 1864, the recruits and reenlisted men remaining in the field having been transferred to the Ninety-ninth Pennsylvania. 264: REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Organized at Philadelphia in June, 1861. Leaving there on July 27th, it proceeded to Harper s Ferry, where it was attached to General Banks s command. It remained for a year in the vicinity of the Upper Potomac and Shenandoah Valley, during which time it was constantly engaged on important outpost duty, varied by occasional reconnoissances or sharp skirmishes. In 1862, it was assigned to the First Brigade of Greene s (2d) Division, and fought in that command at Antietam, where, under Major Pardee, it charged the enemy s position at the Dunker Church, and checked the Confederate advance. Its loss at Antietam was 44 killed, 217 wounded, and 5 missing; total, 266; Lieutenant-Colonel Tyndale, who commanded the brigade in that battle, was severely wounded. In October, 1862, companies L, M, N, O, and P, were transferred to the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania, and Major Pardee was promoted to the Colonelcy of that regiment. At Chancellorsville, the Twenty-eighth was commanded by Major L. F. Chapman, an intrepid and skilful officer, who lost his life there. The regimental loss at Chancellorsville was 17 killed, 60 wounded, and 24 missing; total, 101. The Twenty-eighth was afterwards transferred to the Western Army, in which it fought at Lookout Mountain, and in the long and bloody Atlanta campaign.

NOTES. Organized at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, Pa., on October 21, 1861, the men having been enlisted mostly in Tioga, Centre, and I^ancaster Counties. It embarked at Baltimore, November i9th, for Fort Monroe, and after remaining there a month re-embarked for Hilton Head, S. C. It returned to Virginia in August, 1862, having been assigned to Willcox s (ist) Division, Ninth Corps; Colonel Welsh was placed in command of the brigade. At South Mountain the Forty-fifth drove the Confederates from a strong position, but their gallantry cost them a loss of 27 killed and 107 wounded. In the spring of 1863, the Ninth Corps was transferred to the Western Army ; it subsequently took part in the operations about Vicksburg, and then in the fighting with Long- street s Corps at the Siege of Knoxville, Tenn. In January, 1864, 426 of the men reenlisted for the war, thus ensuring a continuance of the regimental organization. The Ninth Corps having returned to Virginia in 1864, the regiment participated in Grant s campaigns and was hotly engaged at the Wilderness, where it lost 1 7 killed, 1 19 wounded, and 7 missing ; and at Cold Harbor, where 181, or over half the regiment were killed or wounded, Major Kelsey being among the killed. The Forty-fifth took part in all the hard fighting at Petersburg, Colonel Curtin falling severely wounded in the assault of June 18. In the fighting at the crater of the exploded Mine, it captured the flag of the Sixth Virginia. The regiment was mustered out July 17, 1865. 266 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Organized in September, 1861, at Harrisburg, Pa., the regiment was ordered, soon after, to Har per s Ferry, where it was assigned to Crawford s Brigade, Williams s Division, Banks s Corps, subsequently the Twelfth Corps. It remained in the vicinity of the Upper Potomac until the early part of 1862, when it moved with Banks up the Shenandoah Valley. Stonewall Jackson s presence there made an active campaign in which the Forty-sixth took a prominent part. At Cedar Mountain, Banks gave battle with his little army, and a bloody contest ensued. The Forty-sixth entered that engagement with 23 officers and 481 men; it lost there 31 killed, 102 wounded, and 1 1 1 missing or captured ; eleven officers were killed or wounded. The regi ment was in line with the Twelfth Corps at Antietam, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, after which the Corps was ordered to Tennessee. Having reenlisted for the war it was granted a thirty days furlough in January, 1864, after which it returned with its ranks well recruited. The Corps number was changed to the Twentieth and the command given to General Hooker. The regiment shared in all of Sherman s hard fighting in his advance on Atlanta, during which occurred the battle of Peach Tree Creek, Ga., in which it withstood a desperate attack ; five of the officers lost their lives in this affair. The Forty-sixth marched through Georgia and the Carolinas with Sherman ; thence through Virginia, over its old battle grounds, to Washington where it took part in the Grand Review at the close of the war.

Leaving the State, September 24, r86i, it proceeded to Fort Monroe, where it remained encamped until November nth, when it sailed for Hatteras Island, N.C. It served in Burnside s Department, and in April, 1862, was assigned to Nagle s Brigade, Reno s Division, in which command it fought at Manassas. The regiment followed the various fortunes of the Ninth Corps in all its wanderings ; fought well at Antietam and Fredericksburg ; then shared the hardships of the campaign in West Tennessee; and, in 1864, having reenlisted for the war, rejoined the Army of the Potomac. At Antietam the regiment lost 8 killed, 5 1 wounded, and i missing ; and at Spotsylvania, i 7 killed and 86 wounded. Though an efficient regiment in battle, the Forty-eighth became famous by reason of its connection with the Mine at Peters burg. This mine was excavated entirely by the men of the Forty-eighth under the supervision of Lieutenant- Colonel Pleasants, who conceived the idea, planned and carried it out. The main gangway was over 500 feet long ; 8,000 pounds of powder were successfully exploded, forming a crater 250 feet long, and 25 feet deep. Colonel Pleasants and his men received a special acknowledgment of their services in General Orders, No. 32. The regiment fought its last battle April 2, 1865, at the Fall of Petersburg, in which Colonel Gowan was killed. He entered the service, as a Lieutenant, serving with honor in every campaign, only to meet his fate in the final battle. 268 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. FORTY-NINTH PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

NOTES. Recruited in Mifflin, Centre, Chester, Huntingdon, and Juniata Counties. It arrived at Washing ton September 22d, 1861, where it was assigned to Hancock s Brigade of Wm. F. Smith s Division, a brigade composed of exceptionally good regiments. Under its able general the brigade soon won distinction at Williams- burg, where, by its brilliant and effective manoeuvres, it aided materially in securing a victory ; that it accom plished the same with but little loss, reflected all the more credit on its " superb " commander. In the spring of 1863 the Forty-ninth was transferred to the Third Brigade, First (Brooks s) Division, Sixth Corps, in which command it remained during the rest of the war. The brigade Sixth Maine, Forty-ninth Pennsylvania, One Hundred and Nineteenth Pennsylvania, and Fifth Wisconsin distinguished itself particularly at Rappahannock Station, carrying the enemy s works by a bayonet charge in which some of the regiments lost heavily. However fortunate the Forty-ninth may have been in previous battles, it was destined to suffer a terrible loss at Spotsyl vania. In that battle it was one of the twelve selected regiments which formed the assaulting column under the gallant Upton. In that charge, 260 of its men were cut down by the enemy s fire, and Colonel Hidings and Lieutenant-Colonel John B. Miles were killed. Two days later the regiment was engaged in the bloody contest at the "Angle " with still further loss. From May 6th to May i3th, 1864 including the Wilderness and Spot sylvania this regiment lost 317, in killed or wounded, out of the 530 who crossed the Rapidan.

The regiment remained in this department sev eral months, during which time it had a varied experience in campaigning and fighting ; at Pocotaligo, Captain Charles H. Parker was killed while bravely leading a forlorn hope across the string pieces of an abandoned bridge. In July, 1862, the Fiftieth joined the Ninth Corps at Fort Monroe, then on its way to reinforce Pope. It was actively engaged in the battles of Manassas and Chantilly, in which the regiment lost 19 killed, 119 wounded, and 15 missing ; total, 153.

It returned to Virginia with the Ninth Corps in August, 1862, and was engaged at the battles of Manassas ; it was then in Ferrero s Brigade of Reno s Division. The Fifty-first achieved historic prominence at Antietam by its famous charge across the stone bridge which spans the Antietam Creek. The enemy s rifle pits and batteries commanded the approaches to this bridge ; after repeated attempts by other troops, Colonel Hartranft led his regiment across the narrow roadway of the span, and gained a position on the opposite bank. In this daring affair the regiment was ably supported by the Fifty-first New York under Colonel Robert B. Potter. The casual ties of the Fifty-first Pennsylvania at the bridge, and in the subsequent fighting of that day, amounted to 21 killed, and 99 wounded, Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas S. Bell being among the killed. The regiment afterwards fought with the Ninth Corps in Mississippi and Tennessee. It reonlisted, went home on furlough, was fully re cruited, and then served under Grant in the Virginia campaigns.

NOTES. There were more officers killed in the Sixty-first Pennsylvania than in any other regiment in the entire Union Army. Colonel Rippey and four line officers were killed at Fair Oaks ; Colonel Spear and a Lieu tenant fell dead at the storming of Marye s Heights ; Lieutenant-Colonel John W. Crosby was killed in the final and victorious assault of the Sixth Corps at Petersburg ; the adjutant and four other officers lost their lives at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania ; another fell at Malvern Hill ; another at Fort Stevens ; two at Cedar Creek, and two-at Charlestown in the Shenandoah. With such officers to lead there was a consequent heavy loss among their men. At Fair Oaks the Sixty-first suffered the most of any regiment in that battle, its casualties amounting to 68 killed, 152 wounded, and 43 missing; a total of 263, but not without exacting from the enemy an equiva lent of loss, the official reports making mention of the large number of the enemy s dead which lay in front of the position occupied by the Sixty-first. While on the Peninsula it was in Abercrombie s Brigade, of Couch s Division, Fourth Corps. At Marye s Heights it formed part of the famous " Light Division " of the Sixth Corps, and through the Wilderness and Shenandoah campaigns it fought in Neil s (3d) Brigade, Getty s (2d) Division, Sixth Corps. Its losses at the Wilderness were 20 killed, 113 wounded, and 18 missing; at Spotsylvania, 31 killed, 102 wounded, and 6 missing. It was organized at Pittsburg in August, 1861, reenlisted in 1864, and was mustered out June 28, 1865. THREE HUNDRED FIUHTINC; RECJIMENTS. SIXTY-SECOND PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

The regiment encamped in Virginia in September, 1861, and after six months of drill, discipline, and field duty, confronted the enemy at the Siege of Yorktown. After the fall of Yorktown in May, 1862 it moved up the Peninsula, then in Griffin s Brigade, Morell s Division, Fifth Corps, in which command it fought at Gaines s Mill. Colonel Black was killed in that battle, the regiment losing 15 killed, 73 wounded, and 76 missing. It was engaged, four days later, at Malvern Hill, where its colors were cut down five times, but were borne from the field flying. At Gettysburg the division was commanded by General Barnes ; it fought there in the historic wheat field, the Sixty-second losing in that battle 28 killed, 107 wounded, and 40 missing ; Major William G. Long and five line officers were killed there. The winter of 1863-4 was passed quietly in winter quarters; then, in May, 1864, with 557 men, the regiment entered upon the bloody campaign which occurred between May 6th and June i8th of that year. In the hard fighting about Spotsylvania it lost 14 killed (includ ing Lieutenant- Colonel James C. Hall, who was in command), 112 wounded, and 18 missing; total, 144. The Sixty-second, during its active sen-ice, was always in the Second Brigade, First Division, Fifth Corps, Colonel Sweitzer commanding the brigade during the most of the time. The regiment was mustered out July 13, 1864, its term of service having expired. 276 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. SIXTY-THIED PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

Seven companies were recruited in Pittsburg, or in its vicinity ; the others were from the western counties. The regiment was organized in August, 1861, joining the army in October of the same year, where it was assigned to Heintzelman s Division. It performed outpost duty in Virginia for several months, during which an affair occurred on the picket line in which Captain Chapman and Quartermaster Lysle were killed. When the Third Corps moved to the Peninsula the Sixty-third went there with its brigade (Jameson s), and took part in some of the hardest fighting in that campaign. At Fair Oaks, with only eight companies in line, it held its position steadily in the face of a musketry fire which cut down over a hundred men ; 23 were killed, 79 wounded, and 20 missing. At Manassas, Colonel Hays was severely wounded, the regiment losing 15 killed, 94 wounded, and 1 1 missing. It was hotly engaged again, at Chancellorsville, where it lost many of its most valued officers. In that battle, Colonel Kirkwood, Adjutant McGranahan, and four line officers were killed. After the discontinu ance of the Third Corps, with its gallant organization, the regiment was placed in Hays s Brigade, Birney s Division, Second Corps. General Hays was killed at the Wilderness, and in the same battle the Sixty-third lost 191 of its number killed or wounded, out of 485 in line. Its term of service expired September 9, 1864. The recruits and reiJnlisted men remaining in the field were transferred to the Ninety-ninth Pennsylvania, while the others, few in number, returned to their homes.

NOTES. The Philadelphia Brigade occupies a prominent place in the history of the battle of Gettysburg. Under command of General Alex. S. Webb, it held that particular point on the line which is familiar to the battle-field tourists as " the high-water mark of the Rebellion." This position was the focus of a concentrated fire during the unprecedented artillery combat of the third day ; and when that storm of missiles was followed by the grand assault known as Pickett s charge, the enemy s column made its most daring and desperate thrust against that point of the line which was held by Webb and his men. It was here that Cushing s Battery made its gallant fight, and here that General Armistead, the leader of the Confederate assault, fell dead at the muzzle of one of Cushing s guns. The Sixty-ninth entered that fight with 258 officers and men, and held the stone wall in front of the brigade ; it lost there 40 killed, 80 wounded and 9 missing, Colonel O Kane and Lieutenant- Colonel Tschudy being among the killed. At Antietam, it was in Sedgwick s Division, and fought at the Dunker Church; its loss in that battle was 1 9 killed, 58 wounded, and 15 missing. This regiment, like the New York Sixty-ninth, was composed mostly of Irish blood, and fully sustained the reputation of the Irish soldier for gal lantry in battle. It was recruited in Philadelphia, and served continuously in the Second Division of the corps. General Owen commanded the brigade in the campaigns of 1864. 278 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Recruited in Philadelphia, May 1861, by Edward D. Baker, United States Senator from California. In July the regiment proceeded to Fort Monroe, whence, after a short stay, it returned to Washington and com menced active service in Northern Virginia. In October it was assigned to Stone s Division, and soon after took part in the affair at Ball s Bluff. Colonel Baker, who was in command of the brigade, was killed there, the regi ment losing 13 killed, 40 wounded, and 228 captured or missing. The Seventy-first was organized with fifteen companies, but after the Peninsular campaign the five superfluous companies were discontinued, and the men transferred to the others. It was assigned to the Second Division of the Second Corps, in which division it remained without change. Sedgwick commanded the division at Antietam, where it was engaged in one of the bloodiest contests of the war. Its loss in that battle was 26 killed, 95 wounded, and 18 missing one-third of its number on that field. At Gettysburg, it was stationed at the angle of the stone wall against which Armistead and his Confederate brigade made such a desperate attack during Pickett s charge. In this battle the Seventy- first, under Colonel Smith, lost 21 killed, 58 wounded, and 19 missing, out of 24 officers and 397 men carried into action. The regiment was mustered out July 9, 1864, i f s term of service having expired TIIKEE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 27D SEVENTY-SECOND PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY -" BAXTER ZOUAVES."

It was organized in August, 1861, with fifteen companies, five of which were disbanded in 1862 and the men distributed to the other ten companies. In the fall of 1 86 1, the regiment was in Stone s Division, which was guarding the Maryland side of the Upper Potomac. In March, 1862, it moved up the Shenandoah Valley in Banks s command, but was transferred soon after to the Peninsular Army. There the Philadelphia Brigade was placed under command of General Wm. W. Burns, and was assigned to Sedgwick s Division. At Savage Station one of the Seven Days battles the regi ment lost 14 killed and 85 wounded; at Antietam it fought under Scdgwick at the Dunker Church, where it lost 38 killed, 163 wounded, and 36 missing; total, 237. General Alex. S. Webb commanded the brigade at Gettys burg. In that battle the Seventy-second occupied an exposed position during the terrible artillery firing of the third day, and then took a conspicuous part in the repulse of Pickett s Virginians. The monument of the Seventy- second, which stands on that historic spot, states in its inscription, that the regiment had 473 men in line that day and that their loss was 44 killed, 145 wounded, and 2 missing; total, 191. At Mine Run, Lieutenant- Colonel Theodore Hesser was killed on the skirmish line, while in command of the regiment. Its shortened lines were actively engaged in all the battles of the Wilderness campaign, and then, while in the trenches before Petersburg, August, 1864, it received the order for its muster-out. 280 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Fort Wagner was a memorable locality of the war by reason of many varied incidents of siege and assault, together with the dramatic character which invested some of those thrilling scenes. There were two dis tinct assaults ; the first occurred July n, 1863, and the second, just one week later. The Seventy-sixth took a conspicuous part in the first assault, which was made by three regiments only ; the Ninth Maine, Seventy-sixth Pennsylvania, and the Seventh Connecticut under General Strong the brigade commander. The Seventy-sixth occupied the centre of the line, its advance taking it over a ridge where it was exposed to the fire of the fort. The assault failed, but not until 1 80 of the regiment had been cut down. Another attempt was made on the 1 8th with an assaulting column of the three brigades, but it also failed, and General Strong was killed. The Seventy-sixth had the honor of participating in the successful assault on Fort Fisher. It was then in Penny- packer s Brigade, Ames s Division ; General Terry commanded the expedition. As these troops remained in North Carolina, the Tenth Corps which had been discontinued was reorganized with Terry in command. Gen eral Pennypacker was badly wounded at Fort Fisher, and Colonel Littell succeed to the command of the brigade. The Seventy-sixth was organized at Harrisburg in October, 1861 ; it proceeded immediately to Hilton Head, S. C., and remained in that Department until it entered the Virginia campaign of 1864. In the actions at Drewry s Bluff and its vicinity the regiment lost 15 killed, 119 wounded, and 10 missing; total, 144. It reen- listed and served through the whole period of the war.

Colonel Miller was killed in the first battle Fair Oaks and at Malvern Hill his successor, Lieutenant-Colonel Eli T. Conner, fell dead while gallantly leading his men. The division was com manded by Hancock at Fredericksburg, where the Eighty-first took part in the memorable assault of that day, losing 176 out of 261 present on the field. Enough of the men reenlisted, in January, 1864, to ensure a contin uance of the organization, and they received a veteran furlough. Hard fighting with further heavy losses were encountered in Grant s campaigns, and at Cold Harbor, Colonel McKeen, was killed, while in command of a brigade. The Eighty-first took part in all the battles of the First Division, being hotly engaged at Farmville, at which place the Second Corps fought its last battle. 282 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. The Eighty-third encountered more fighting and lost more men in battle than any other Pennsyl vania regiment ; in fact, its loss in action was exceeded by only one other in the entire Union army. None of its losses were caused by blunders, none occurred in disastrous routs ; its dead always lay with their faces to the enemy. With its " twin regiment," the Forty-fourth New York, it was assigned to Butterfield s Brigade, Morell s Division, Fifth Corps. Colonel McLane was killed at Gaines s Mill, and Vincent fell at Gettysburg while in command of the brigade. At Gaines s Mill, the regiment lost 46 killed, 51 wounded, and 99 missing ; four days later, at Malvern Hill, it lost 33 killed, 115 wounded, and 18 missing a total of 362, out of the 554 present at Gaines s Mill. At Manassas, under Lieutenant-Colonel McCoy, it lost 14 killed, 72 wounded, and n missing, out of 224 officially reported by McCoy as present and engaged. It had the honor, at Gettysburg, of participat ing in the brilliant manoeuvre of its brigade .Vincent s in seizing Little Round Top at a critical moment, helping materially to save the fortunes of the day. At Spotsylvania, its casualties amounted to 21 killed, 119 wounded, and 24 missing; total, 164.

NOTES. Although a Third Corps regiment, the Eighty-fourth saw much .active service while in other com mands. Soon after its organization, in 1861, it was ordered to the Upper Potomac, and thence to the Shenandoah Valley where it served under General Lander, and, after his death, in Shields s Division. It was with Shields at Kernstown, and was hotly engaged there ; Colonel Murray and two line officers were killed there, the regiment losing 21 killed, and 71 wounded. At Cedar Mountain and Manassas it was in Ricketts s Division, of McDowell s Corps; at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville it was in Carroll s Brigade, Whipple s Division, Third Corps. At Chancellorsville it lost 215 in killed, wounded, missing, and prisoners, out of 391 present. The regiment was not engaged at Gettysburg, having been detailed as a train-guard. Upon the discontinuance of the Third Corps it was again transferred, this time to Mott s Division, Second Corps. Colonel Bowman having been detailed on duty elsewhere, the command of the regiment devolved on Lieutenant-Colonel Milton Opp, an experienced and efficient officer who fell mortally wounded at the Wilderness. The regiment was mustered-out in November, 1864, but enough recruits and rei -nlisted men remained to form a battalion of four companies. This battalion was consolidated January 13, 1865, with the Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania, and Lieutenant-Colonel Zinn of the Eighty - fourth became colonel of the Fifty-seventh. Its casualties at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania May 5-13, 1864, were 13 killed, 70 wounded, and 2 missing. 284 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. NINETY-THIRD PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

NOTES. This regiment was raised through the efforts of Colonel McCarter, a Methodist clergyman who had served as a Chaplain in the three months service. It was organized at Lebanon, Pa., in October, 1861. In March, 1862, it was assigned to Peck s Brigade, Couch s Division, Fourth Corps, and went to the Peninsula. The regi ment was in the hottest of the fight at Fair Oaks, where it displayed remarkable steadiness under fire. Its losses there were 20 killed, 84 wounded, and 22 missing; Colonel McCarter was severely wounded and lost two horses killed. After Antietam the division was transferred to the Sixth Corps, the Ninety-third becoming a part of Rowley s Brigade, Newton s Division. General Wheaton commanded the brigade at Salem Heights, where the regiment lost 8 killed, 53 wounded, and 18 missing. In February, 1864, about 300 reenlisted, and a large num ber of recruits were received. The regiment entered the spring campaign of 1864 with about 750 men; in the opening battle at the Wilderness it lost 15 killed and 114 wounded, which was followed the next week by further heavy losses at Spotsylvania. It fought under Sheridan in the Valley, and at the Opequon lost 7 killed and 32 wounded. Returning to Petersburg, it was engaged with severe loss, March 25, 1865, in the advance of the Sixth Corps at the time Fort Stedman was re-captured. Having served through the whole war, it was mustered out June 27, 1865. TmtEE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. NINETY-FIFTH PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY. UPTON S BRIGADE -- WRIGHT S DIVISION --SIXTH CORPS.

NOTES. The Ninety-fifth lost six field officers, killed in action ; two colonels, two lieutenant-colonels, a major and an adjutant, a loss in mounted officers, with but one parallel in all the regiments in the war. I was raised in Philadelphia, and arrived at Washington in October, 1861. It passed the winter of 1861-2 in winter-quarters near Alexandria, Va., and took the field in March, 1862. After taking part in the advance on Manassas, it proceeded to the Peninsula, with Newton s Brigade, P ranklin s Division, and with this command was engaged at West Point. Slocum succeeded to the command of the division, which, under his charge, dis tinguished itself at Gaines s Mill. In that battle Colonel Gosline and Major Wm. B. Hubbs were killed ; the regiment lost there 10 killed, 84 wounded, and 1 8 missing. At Salem Heights the regiment fought in Russell s Brigade of Brooks s Division, its losses there amounting to 23 killed, no wounded, and 20 missing; total, 153. In this action, Colonel Town, Lieutenant-Colonel Hall, Adjutant Dunton, and two line officers were killed. About 250 men rei : nlisted, and, a large number of recruits having been received, the Ninety- fifth entered the Wilderness campaign with nearly its full complement of men. Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Carroll, the com mandant of the regiment, fell dead in the first day s fighting at the Wilderness. During the fighting at Spot sylvania, it lost 26 killed, 82 wounded, and 27 missing ; and at Cedar Creek, 8 killed, 27 wounded, and 4 missing. 286 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Recruited mostly in Schuylkill County. It left the State in November, 1861, and, arriving in Vir ginia soon after, was assigned to Slocum s Brigade, Franklin s Division. General Slocum commanded the division at Gaines s Mill, where the regiment was engaged and received a gratifying mention in the official reports. Loss, at Gaines s Mill, 13 killed, 6 1 wounded, and 13 missing. It again distinguished itself in the successful charge at Crampton s Gap, where Major Lewis J. Martin was killed. It sustained the heaviest loss of any regiment in that action, its casualties amounting to 20 killed and 70 wounded fully one-fourth of the number engaged. Still harder fighting and greater losses were encountered in 1864, at Spotsylvania, where the Ninety-sixth was selected as one of the twelve regiments of the Sixth Corps to take part in Upton s charge ; it proved a dearly bought honor, its losses there, and in the other fighting about Spotsylvania, amounting to 31 killed, 115 wounded, and 32 missing; total, 178. During this campaign the regiment was still in the First Brigade, First Division, Sixth Corps, General Upton commanding the brigade, and General Wright, the division. Subsequently, General Russell succeeded to the command of the division. Not enough of the men reenlisted to warrant the continuance of the regimental organization after the expiration of its term of service, which occurred September 22, 1864, while in the Shenandoah campaign. The original members of the regiment returned to their homes, and the reenlisted veterans, together with the recruits, were transferred to the Ninety- fifth Pennsylvania.

Eight companies were recruited in Chester County, and the others in Delaware. It left the State November, 1861, going to Fort Monroe, and thence to Port Royal, S. C. It remained in that Department sixteen months, during which it made several expeditions along the Florida and Georgia coast, and was under fire in some minor engagements. It took part in the operations about Charleston Harbor, and in the grand assault on Fort Wagner, in which affair it was in Stevenson s Brigade of reserves. In April, 1863, it left Fernandina, Fla., and sailed for Virginia, where it joined the Army of the James, having been assigned to White s (ist) Brigade, Ames s (3d) Division, Tenth Corps. In the fighting at Green Plains, near Bermuda Hundred, May i8th and 2Oth, it lost 29 killed, 186 wounded, and 22 captured or missing ; total, 237 ; seve"n color bearers were shot, and Colonel Pennypacker was wounded three times. The regiment occupied an exposed position in the trenches before Petersburg, and lost men almost daily during the siege, in addition to those lost in the fighting at the Mine Explosion. It had in the meanwhile been transferred to the Second Division, in which it afterwards re mained without further change. Colonel Pennypacker commanded the brigade at Chaffin s Farm, where he was again wounded. He led the brigade, also, in its victorious assault at Fort Fisher, where he received another serious wound while planting the colors of the Ninty-seventh on the enemy s inner line of works. 288 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CVIIL WAR.

The Pennsylvania Roundheads proved on many a hard fought field that they were worthy of their nom de guerre, and their ancestral namesakes. Bates, the historian, says that they were recruited in a part of the State which was settled by English Roundheads and Scotch-Irish Covenanters. Be that as it may, there was no stancher stuff in Cromwell s regiments than in the blue-coated line that dressed on the colors of the Hundredth Pennsylvania. They were well officered, Colonel Leasure being a man of remarkable soldierly ability, and although in command of the brigade most of the time, the regiment was always ably handled. Lieut.-Col. Dawson fell, mortally wounded, in the assault on Petersburg ; Lieut.-Col. Pentecost was killed at Fort Stedman ; Major Hamilton and Adjutant Leasure fell in the fighting at the Petersburg Mine. Five line-officers fell at Manassas, the casualties in that battle amounting to 15 killed, 117 wounded, and 8 missing. At Spotsylvania it sustained a loss of 23 killed, 1 10 wounded, and 2 missing ; total, 135. Like all the Ninth Corps regiments its service was a varied one ; it made long journeys by sea and land, and fought its battles in many and widely separated States. THREE HUNDRED FH;HTIX<J REGIMENTS.

NOTES. Organized at Pittsburg in August, 1861. Five companies went to Washington that month, the others following soon after. It occupied winter-quarters near the Capitol, where the time was spent in drills and light duty. It embarked at Alexandria in March, 1862, and proceeded with General McClellan s Army to the Peninsula, where it took part in the operations before Yorktown, and did some good fighting at Williamsburg. It fought at Fair Oaks, in Peck s Brigade, Couch s Division, Fourth Corps, losing there i 2 killed, 47 wounded, and 10 missing. At Malvern Hill it made a successful charge, in which Major Poland was killed. Immediately after Antietam the division was transferred, and became Newton s Division of the Sixth Corps. General Wheaton commanded the brigade in the fighting at Marye s Heights and Salem Church, in which the regiment lost 12 killed, 54 wounded, and 103 missing or captured. Nearly all the men rei ; nlisted, and a large number of recruits were received, which enabled it to take the field in 1864 with full ranks. The regiment encountered its hardest battle at the Wilderness, where its casualties amounted to 163 in killed and wounded. Colonel Patterson was among the killed. Lieu tenant-Colonel Mcllwaine lost his life at Cold Harbor, and Major Coleman was killed while leading the regiment at Cedar Creek. In the latter action the regiment lost 1 2 killed and 80 wounded. 19 290 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. ONE HUNDEED AND FIFTH PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

The regiment left its barracks in Pittsburg in November, 1861. After some hard service in the trenches before Yorktown, and some skirmishing at Williamsburg then in Kearny s Division, it faced the enemy at Fair Oaks, in one of the deadliest struggles of the war, winning praise from generals and historians alike. Its losses at Fair Oaks were large 41 killed, 112 wounded, and 8 missing; total, 161. At Gettysburg, the regiment took 247 men into action, and lost 8 killed, 115 wounded, and 9 missing; total, 132, or more than half.

The regiment was commanded in that battle by Major Walker, its casualties amounting to 7 killed, 74 wounded, and 9 missing. The division, under General Greene, distinguished itself at Antietam by the tenacity with which it held its position near the Dunker Church. The regiment took only 243 men into that action, but lost 26 killed, 76 wounded, and 8 missing. In March, 1863, the One Hundred and Eleventh was one of ten regiments in the Army of the Potomac, especially mentioned in General Orders as standing best in the inspection reports. In September, 1863, the corps was ordered to Tennessee, and on October 28, 1863, the regiment fought at Wau hatchie, Tenn., where Major Boyle was killed. In the Atlanta campaign its fighting was continuous and severe, the hardest battle for the One Hundred and Eleventh occurring at Peach Tree Creek, where Colonel Cobham was killed. The regiment marched from Atlanta to the sea, and while in the Carolinas the One Hundred and Ninth Pennsylvania was discontinued, and the men were transferred to its ranks. * The enrollment includes 308 men, transferred from the One Hundred and Ninth Pennsylvania, in March, I8C5, after the ended. had 292 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Pennsylvania furnished a regiment for the famous Irish Brigade ; it was the One Hundred and Sixteenth. It was recruited in Philadelphia in the summer of 1862, and leaving the State in September, pro ceeded to Virginia. In October it joined the main army, then at Harper s Ferry, where it was assigned to the Irish Brigade, Hancock s Division. It took part in the bloody assault on Marye s Heights, where each man in the brigade placed a sprig of green in his cap just before the charge, and where so many of them fell in front of the enemy s works. The official reports state that this regiment had 247 men in line that day; their loss was 7 killed, 67 wounded, and 14 missing; all three of its field-officers were wounded. After this battle the regi ment was consolidated into a battalion of four companies, as it had become much reduced in numbers. At Chancellorsville the regiment received words of praise from Hancock for gallant services rendered on that field. In the spring of 1864, six new companies were recruited, and the old battalion companies were filled up to their maximum. Three of the new companies were from Pittsburg ; they were raised by Lieutenant-Colonel Richard C. Dale, who was killed at Spotsylvania. From the Wilderness to Appomattox, the One Hundred and Sixteenth was engaged in all the battles of the First Division, and proved itself worthy of a place in the brigade. Colonel Mulholland, who commanded the battalion in 1863, led the reorganized regiment in most of its battles, and was badly wounded at Spotsylvania. TllRKK Hi M>Ki:i> Fl(JHTINi I J I . .

NOTES. Known in the Corps as " the regiment that fought at Shepherdstown." The One Hundred and Eighteenth had been in service less than three weeks when it marched on the field at Antietam. It was in the reserves there, but in the pursuit succeeding that victory it was given a place in the advance, and crossed the river at Shepherdstown Ford, close upon the enemy s rear. Advancing too far without proper support, it was attacked at a disadvantage by overpowering numbers, and forced back to the river, where, in addition to its pre vious loss, it had to recross the ford under a severe fire. Its casualties in this affair were 63 killed, 101 wounded, and 105 missing or prisoners, out of the 800, or thereabouts, who were engaged. Five officers were killed, and Colonel Prevost was wounded while waving the colors to encourage his men. This regiment was raised under the auspices of the Philadelphia Corn Exchange, which furnished the necessary aid and means ; in addition, it paid a bounty of ten dollars to each recruit. The One Hundred and Eighteenth was under a heavy fire at Fredericksburg, then in Barnes s Brigade, its losses there amounting to 5 killed, 56 wounded, and 37 missing. At Gettysburg, the division was commanded by General Barnes, and the brigade by Colonel Tilton of the Twenty-second Mass. During the campaigns of 1864-65 it was in Bartlett s (3d) Brigade, Griffin s (ist) Division, and during that time was engaged in all the battles of the Fifth Corps. It was mustered out June ist, 1865, having received upon its return a flattering reception from the Corn Exchange. 294 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Recruited at Philadelphia in August, 1862. It arrived at Washington, September ist, and after a month s stay proceeded to Harper s Ferry where it joined the Army of the Potomac. It was there assigned to General Calvin E. Pratt s Brigade of Howe s Division. The regiment was under fire at the first battle of Fred ericksburg, 1862, but was not actively engaged. In the second battle May 3, 1863 it took part in the engagement at Salem Church, where it sustained a loss of 10 killed, 74 wounded, and 38 missing, a total of 122 out of 432 present for duty. It was at that time in Russell s Brigade, Brooks s Division. In the affair at Rappa hannock Station the brigade made a successful bayonet charge, capturing the works, together with a large number of prisoners, flags, and cannon. The loss in the One Hundred and Nineteenth was 7 killed, 37 wounded, and i missing ; Colonel Ellmaker led the brigade, General Russell being in command of the division. The regiment was hotly engaged at Spotsylvania, being one of the picked regiments in Upton S storming party on May loth; on the 1 2th it participated in the bloody contest at the "Angle " where Major Truefit and Captain Warner, the regimental commandants were killed. The loss at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania May 5th to i2th was 231 killed and wounded, out of about 400 effectives that crossed the Rapidan. It also suffered a heavy percentage of loss in the Shenandoah Valley, its previous casualties having left but few in line. Early in the spring of 1863, the regiment was transferred to the Third Brigade, First Division, in which command it remained without further change. This division was commanded, successively, by Generals Brooks, Wright, Russell, and Wheaton ; the brigade by Generals Russell, Eustis, and Edwards. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS.

This gallant little regiment sustained a heavy loss in proportion to its numbers. At no time did it have a full complement of men, yet it distinguished itself on all occasions by its efficiency. It was recruited mostly in Philadelphia, and was organized there in September, 1862. It joined McClellan s Army in October, and was placed in McCandless s Brigade, Meade s Division, Pennsylvania Reserves. With this command it fought in its initiatory battle at Fredericksburg, with a loss of 14 killed, 1 14 wounded, and 10 missing ; total, 138. The brigade, under Colonel Chapman Biddle, was engaged at Gettysburg in the battle of the first day, its operations being conspicuous in the history of that day. The regiment marched on that field with only 263 officers and men; of this number, 12 were killed, 106 wounded, and 61 missing or captured; many of the prisoners were wounded before they were captured. Upon the transfer of the First to the Fifth Corps, the regiment was placed in Roy Stone s Brigade, of Wadsworth s Division. It had received no recruits, and entered the spring campaign of 1864 with only 200 men. It fought in all the battles of the Fifth Corps, and in October the morning report showed only 89 men present for duty. In the spring of 1865 it entered on the final campaign in Coulter s (3d) Brigade, Crawford s (3d) Division, Fifth Corps, in which command it fought at Five Forks, and was present at the last surrender. 296 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Recruited principally in Pittsburg and its vicinity. It left the State September 2, 1862, and went to Washington. It joined the army just before the battle of Antietam, and was, soon after, assigned to Rowley s (3d) Brigade, Newton s (3d) Division, Sixth Corps. It was under fire with slight loss at Fredericksburg, but in the second battle on that field 1863 it was hotly engaged at Salem Church, where it lost ii killed, 54 wounded, and ii missing. The regiment entered upon the campaign of 1864, in Getty s Division, and at the Wilderness encountered its hardest fighting; it lost there 190 in killed and wounded, besides several who were missing ; Major Snyder fell from his horse, killed while cheering his men. At Cold Harbor the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth took part in the storming of the works, where Lieutenant- Colonel Moody and two line officers were killed. In the final and victorious assault on the works at Petersburg, the regiment took a prominent part, and the Color-Sergeant, David W. Young, was one of three color-bearers in the army one in each corps who received a congratulatory letter from General Grant, complimenting them as being the " three soldiers most conspicuous for gallantry in the final assault." Each letter was accompanied by a large sum of money which had been raised for that purpose by patriotic citizens. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTIETH PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

The One Hundred and Fortieth sustained the greatest percentage of loss in action of any regiment from Pennsylvania. It was recruited in the western counties, and left the State September 10, 1862. It was stationed awhile in Maryland, and during the following winter it occupied quarters at Falmouth, Va., having been assigned to Zook s (3d) Brigade, Hancock s (ist) Division. On April 28, 1863, it broke camp to march to Chancellorsville. In that, its first battle, it lost 7 killed, 28 wounded, and 9 missing. General Caldwell, who succeeded Hancock, commanded the division at Gettysburg. Arriving on that field, the division moved into the " whirling vortex " of death in the wheat-field where it stubbornly contested the Confederate advance until half the division lay dead or wounded on the field. General Zook was killed ; Colonel Roberts, who succeeded him in command of the brigade, also fell dead. The loss of the regiment was 37 killed, 144 wounded, and 60 miss ing ; a total of 241 out of the 589 who were engaged. Desperate as the fighting had been at Gettysburg, the regiment encountered at Spotsylvania an equally heavy loss, and with less men in line. It was engaged in Han cock s grand charge on May 1 2th, and in all the other actions of the Second Corps about Spotsylvania, its losses there amounting to 34 killed, 126 wounded, and 9 missing. General Miles commanded the division at Farm ville, where the Second Corps and the One Hundred and Fortieth fought their last battle. In this final engage ment the regiment met with a severe loss ; two officers were among the killed, falling with the goal of a safe return full in sight. 298 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Seven companies were recruited in Bradford County, two in Susquehanna, and one in Wayne. It left Harrisburg, August 30, 1862, and active service commenced at once. It was assigned to Robinson s (ist) Brigade, Birney s (ist) Division, Third Corps, in which it fought at Fredericksburg, where it was engaged mostly as a battery support. At Chancellorsville it charged the advancing lines of the enemy, holding them in check until nearly surrounded, when it retired slowly and in good order; its losses were 23 killed, 152 wounded, and 60 missing; total, 235 out of 419 in action. Its ranks were so reduced by death, wounds and sickness, that only 198 answered to the morning roll-call as it stood in line, ready to enter the batde of Gettysburg. It fought there in the Peach Orchard, losing 25 killed, 103 wounded, and 21 missing, a terrible percentage; Major Israel P. Spaulding was mortally wounded in that battle. In 1864, the One Hundred and Forty-first, with its division, was transferred to the Second Corps, General Birney retaining command of the division. Though small in num bers, the regiment took a gallant part in all the subsequent battles of the Second Corps, its losses being severe in proportion to its strength. Lieutenant-Colonel Guy H. Watkins, an intrepid and skillful officer, was killed while leading his men in the assault at Petersburg, June 18, 1864. TmtEE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS.

NOTES. It took the field in September, 1862, and was attached soon after to the Second Brigade, Meade s Division, Pennsylvania Reserves, First Corps. It marched with them to Fredericksburg, taking part in their gallant but unsuccessful battle on that field; it went into action 550 strong, losing 16 killed, 182 wounded, and 45 missing ; many of the latter are missing yet, all of them having been left on the field, dead or badly wounded ; Major John Bradley was mortally wonnded in that action. The Reserves were withdrawn from the field in Feb ruary, 1863, on account of their severe losses, whereupon the One Hundred and Forty-second was assigned to Rowley s (ist) Brigade, Doubleday s (3d) Division. At Gettysburg, the First Corps opened the battle and did some of the best fighting on that famous field. The One Hundred and Forty-second held a position in the front line and on the left, where it received a hot fire ; its loss was 13 killed, 128 wounded, and 70 missing ; total, 211, nearly all of whom fell in the first day s battle, Colonel Cummins being among the killed. In April, 1864, Colonel McCalmont, an officer of superior merit, was detailed on special duty ; he subsequently became Colonel of the Two Hundred and Eighth, and was placed in command of a brigade. He was succeeded by Major Warren, who led the regiment in all the subsequent battles of the Fifth Corps, to which it was transferred in April, 1864. On joining the Fifth Corps, it was assigned to Stone s (3d) Brigade, of Wadsworth s (4th) Division, a division composed entirely of First Corps veterans. The regiment served also in Chamberlain s (ist) Brigade of Griffin s (ist) Division, and again in Crawford s (3d) Division, Fifth Corps. 300 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

It arrived at Washington in November, where it remained on light duty until February, 1863 ; it was then ordered to the front and assigned to Colonel Roy Stone s Brigade, Doubleday s Division, First Corps. Although present at Chancellorsville, it did its first fight ing at Gettysburg. There it encountered hot work in the battle of the first day, where, out of 465 present, it lost 13 killed, 128 wounded, and 70 missing; many of the latter, as afterward ascertained, were killed. When the brigade was ordered to retire the color-sergeant refused to leave until it was too late, and fell dead while defi antly waving his colors in the face of the advancing enemy ; the flag, however, was not lost, but was carried safely from the field. In September, 363 recruits were received, which brought its effective strength up to 500 muskets or more. On May 3d, 1864,11 started on the Wilderness campaign, then in Wadsworth s (4th) Division (afterwards Cutler s), Fifth Corps, with Colonel Roy Stone still in command of the brigade. At the Wilderness, Lieutenant-Colonel John D. Musser was killed, and the regiment lost 23 killed, 136 wounded, and 61 captured or missing; two days later it was engaged at Spotsylvania, where its losses aggregated 16 killed, 54 wounded, and 3 missing. The regiment fought its last battle at Hatcher s Run Dabney s Mills and in February, 1865, was ordered on guard duty at Hart s Island, in New York harbor, where it remained until June 12, 1865, when it was mustered out While in the Fifth Corps the regiment served, also, in Griffin s (ist) Division, and in Crawford s (y\) Division, and the brigade was commanded successively by General Edward S. Bragg, General Joshua L. Chamberlain, Colonel J. W. Hoffman, and other distinguished officers. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING KEGIMENTS. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIFTH PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

NOTES. Six companies were recruited in Erie County ; the others, in Western Pennsylvania. Colonel Brown had already served with distinction in the Eighty-third Pennsylvania. The regiment left the State September 1 2th, arriving five days later on the field at Antietam. While at Harper s Ferry it was assigned to Caldwell s (ist) Brigade, Hancock s (ist) Division, Second Corps. At Fredericksburg it took eight companies into action, two companies having been detailed on the skirmish line. The eight companies lost 34 killed, 152 wounded, and 43 missing; a total of 229 out of 505 in action; the missing ones were wounded or killed. Nine of the line officers lost their lives in this bloody assault, and Colonel Brown received a serious wound. At Chancellorsville, Major John W. Patton was mortally wounded, and 1 12 of the men were captured at an outpost, having been left behind by the retreating army. The regiment fought at Gettysburg in the Fourth Brigade (Brooke s), taking part in the famous contest in the wheat field, where, with about 200 men in line, its casualties amounted to 10 killed, 66 wounded, and 8 missing. During the winter of 1863-4 the One Hundred and Forty-fifth occupied a camp, well-built, which combined a neat, tasteful appearance with substantial warmth and comfort. Fresh recruits were received and drilled, and it took the field in May, 1864, in efficient condition. A large number of the men were captured at Petersburg in June, 1864, which with previous losses left but few in line at the subse quent actions in which the Division was engaged. Its casualties at Spotsylvania were 23 killed, 103 wounded, and 46 captured or missing. 302 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHTH PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

Organized at Harrisburg, in September, 1862, seven of the companies having been recruited in Centre County. At the request of the line officers, James A. Beaver, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Forty-fifth Pennsylvania, was appointed Colonel. After three months of service in Maryland, it joined the Army of the Potomac, and was assigned to Caldwell s (ist) Brigade, Hancock s (ist) Division, Second Corps; it remained in this division (First) during its entire service. Its first battle occurred at Chancellorsville, where it lost 31 killed, 1 19 wounded, and 14 missing, Colonel Beaver being among the severely wounded. General Caldwell com manded the division at Gettysburg, and Colonel Cross (Fifth New Hampshire), the brigade; the loss of the regiment was 19 killed, 101 wounded, and 5 missing. It went into winter quarters (1863-4) near Stevensburg, Va., receiving in the meanwhile 283 conscripts and 120 recruits, a needed accession. It was prominently engaged at Po River and Spotsylvania, where it lost 33 killed, 235 wounded, and 33 missing; total, 301, the greatest loss of any infantry regiment at Spotsylvania. Colonel Beaver, while in command of a brigade, was severely wounded at Petersburg, June 16, 1864. He rejoined his regiment just as it was entering the fight at Ream s Station, where he was again wounded, and suffered amputation of a leg. In September, 1864, the War Department ordered that one regiment in each division be armed with breech-loading rifles ; the One Hundred and Forty-eighth was selected by General Hancock as the deserving one in its division to be thus armed.

The One Hundred and Forty-ninth and its companion regiment, the One Hundred and Fiftieth of the same brigade, were also known as "Bucktail " regiments, each man wearing a bucktail in his cap in imitation of the famous regiment in the Pennsylvania Reserves. The men were recruited in August, 1862, from the forests and mountain districts of the State, and proved worthy of their adopted name. Roy Stone, Major of the original Bucktails, and an officer of more than ordinary ability, was appointed Colonel. He was, soon after, given a brigade of Pennsylvania troops which included the two new Bucktail regiments. The brigade was only slightly engaged at Chancellorsville, but at Gettysburg it took a meritorious part in the battle of the first day. It was then in Doubleday s (3d) Division, First Corps ; its casualties on that field were 66 killed and mortally wounded, 159 wounded, and in captured or missing; total, 336. Colonel Stone being in command of the brigade at Gettysburg, Lieutenant-Colonel Walton Dwight led the regiment ; both fell severely wounded. In 1864, Stone s brigade formed a part of Wadsworth s Division, Fifth Corps. In the battle of the Wilderness May 5, 1864, the regiment lost ii killed, 109 wounded, and 95 captured or missing; and at Spotsylvania, 12 killed, 84 wounded, and 3 missing ; many of the missing never returned. In February, 1865, the regiment was ordered to Elmira, where it remained on duty at the prison camp until the close of the war. 304 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Organized in September, 1862, as one of the regiments for Roy Stone s Bucktail Brigade. Lang- horne Wister, an officer in the old Bucktails, was appointed Colonel. Upon its arrival at Washington the regi ment was ordered on guard duty in and about the city. Company K was stationed at the Soldier s Home, Mr. Lincoln s summer residence, where it remained on duty as a body-guard to the President during its entire term of service, the One Hundred and Fiftieth, consequently, taking only nine companies to the field ; its percentage of killed was far above the average, although the number killed was not numerically large. At Gettysburg the regiment took 417 officers and men into action, losing 29 killed, 151 wounded, and 84 missing; total, 264. Both Wister and Huidekoper were severely wounded in that battle, the latter losing an arm ; the regiment was in Stone s Brigade of Doubleday s Division, and fought on the Chambersburg Pike in the first day s battle ; it was ably handled by its field officers, and rendered good service. Stone s Brigade was transferred in 1864 to the Fifth Corps, and placed in Wadsworth s (4th) Division. In June it was transferred to Griffin s (ist) Division. Col. Stone was disabled in the battle of the Wilderness, and was succeeded in his command of the brigade by General Bragg of Wisconsin, an able and gallant officer of the famous Iron Brigade. The One Hundred and Fiftieth fought its last battle on February 5, 1865, at Dabney s Mills. It was then ordered to Elmira, in company with the One Hundred and Forty-ninth, where it performed guard duty at the prison camp until mustered out. *Not including Company K, which was on detached duty during the entire service.

NOTES. Recruited at Pittsburg and vicinity in August, 1862, in response to the President s second call for troops. It arrived at Washington in September, and was assigned to Allabach s (2(1) Brigade, Humphreys s (3d) Division, Fifth Corps. It was engaged in Humphreys s bloody assault on Marye s Heights, where it lost 6 killed, 58 wounded, and 4 missing ; the other regiments of the brigade suffered an unusually severe loss. Upon the muster-out of the other regiments in the brigade (nine months men), which occurred soon after Chancellorsville, the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth was placed in Weed s (3d) Brigade, Ayres s (2d) Division. General Weed was killed at Gettysburg, on Little Round Top, while seizing that position with his brigade. In 1864, the regiment was in Ayres s (ist) Brigade, Griffin s (ist) Division. It was known as the Regular Brigade, as the Regulars were at that time massed in this one brigade. The regiment took a prominent part in all the battles of the Fifth Corps in 1864-5, and distinguished itself particularly at the assault on Petersburg, at Peeble s Farm, and at the Quaker Road. Colonel Pearson, who was in command of the brigade part of the time, was twice brevetted for gallantry, while the regiment received complimentary notice from headquarters. In the final campaign the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth was in Bartlett s (3(1) Brigade of the same division. It was in line at Appomattox, and was pressing the enemy when the token of surrender was displayed. 20 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHTH PENNSYLVANIA INFANTRY.

The One Hundred and Eighty-eighth was organized in April, 1864, from the surplus members of the Third Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. It took the field immediately with about 900 men, a large proportion of whom were veterans who had served in other regiments. After the war had ended, its enrollment was increased by an accession of men from the One Hundred and Ninety-ninth Pennsylvania, which had been mustered out, and its recruits turned over to the One Hundred and Eighty-eighth. The losses in action of the One Hundred and Eighty-eighth fell entirely on its original members, its actual percentage of killed being consequently much larger than indicated above. The regiment left Fort Monroe, where it was organized, the Third Artillery being there on garrison duty, and joined the Army of the James at Yorktown in April, 1864, just prior to its departure for Bermuda Hundred. Fighting commenced immediately on its arrival there, and at Drewry s Bluff, a battle fought in a dense fog, the regiment was engaged in a severe contest. Two weeks later, the Eighteenth Corps was moved by transports to White House Landing on the York, from whence it marched to Cold Harbor, where it participated in the ill-advised and disastrous assaults at that place, losing 19 killed, 144 wounded, and 8 missing ; five officers were among the killed. At Fort Harrison the regiment, then in Stan- nard s Division, took part in that gallant and successful assault. In December, the Corps having been discon tinued, it was assigned to Roberts s (3d) Brigade, Devens s (3d) Division, Twenty-fourth Corps. It was mustered out on December 14, 1865.

NOTES. Volunteered originally in the three months service in the beginning of the war, and, at the expira tion of that term, was reorganized as a three years regiment. It rei>nlisted in 1864, the first regiment in the Army of the Potomac to do so. Leaving its State, October 20, 1861, it proceeded by steamer to Fort Monroe, where it remained encamped until May, 1862, when it was ordered to Norfolk on provost duty, and thence, after two months, to Suffolk. In September it joined McClellan s army, then in Maryland, and was placed in Max Weber s (3d) Brigade, French s (3d) Division, Second Corps. The regiment was engaged at Antietam, where, in its first battle, it acquitted itself with honor; its casualties on that bloody field amounted to 31 killed, 182 wounded, and 17 missing; a total of 230 out of 650 engaged. Colonel Andrews led the brigade at Fredericks- burg, and Major Smyth, the regiment ; its loss in that battle was 10 killed, 74 wounded, and 9 missing. At Get tysburg, the regiment was in the Second Brigade ; Colonel Smyth commanded the brigade, and General Alex- Hays the division. Smyth s men contributed materially to the repulse of Pickett s charge ; they were in a position behind a low, heavy stone wall, but, disdaining its shelter, rose to their feet to meet the charge, and fired with coolness and accuracy ; the men in the rear rank had accumulated a supply of extra rifles, already loaded, which they passed to the front rank as fast as they could be fired. The loss there was 10 killed, 54 wounded, and 13 missing. Smyth was promoted Brigadier, and was killed at Farmville, in the last battle of his Corps. 308 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Mustered into the United States service in May, 1861, for three years. It was stationed at various places in Maryland during the ensuing year, doing guard duty most of the time along the Upper Potomac. In March, 1862, it crossed into Virginia with Banks s troops, and moved up the Shenandoah Valley. The regiment was stationed at Front Royal, Va., where, on May 23, 1862, it was surrounded and cut off by Jackson s rapid advance, and forced to surrender, losing 14 killed, 43 wounded, and 535 captured; Colonel Kenly was seriously wounded. Their gallant opposition retarded Jackson s advance, giving Banks ample time to withdraw in safety from the Valley. The regiment was paroled in September, and two months later it was declared exchanged. In the meantime the small part of the regiment which had escaped capture, together with some recruits, preserved the organization, and was assigned to the Maryland Brigade (First, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Mary land). In March, 1863, this brigade was assigned to Kelly s Division, Eighth Corps, and served in the West Virginia campaign. Upon Lee s invasion, the brigade retired into Maryland, where, on July 10, 1863, it was assigned to the First Corps. In March, 1864, it was transferred to the Fifth Corps. The regiment reenlisted, and on its return from its veteran furlough the battalion of veterans arrived at the Harris Farm just in time to enter that action, its loss there amounting to 6 killed, 29 wounded, and 2 missing ; a heavy percentage of loss as only a small number were engaged. Colonel Dushane was killed at the Weldon Road, and Colonel Wilson fell at Dabney s Mills. TllUKU HUMMED FlUllTINti KwilMKNTS. 30U SIXTH MARYLAND INFANTRY.

NOTES. The Sixth was organized in August, 1862, under the President s second call for troops, six of the companies coming from Baltimore. Leaving that city on September 19, 1862, it proceeded to Williamsport, on the Upper Potomac, where it joined the Maryland Brigade. It left that brigade in March, 1863, and became a part of the Third Brigade, Second Division (Milroy s), Eighth Corps. This division retired before Lee s advance to Gettysburg, but not without some hard fighting at Winchester, Va., in which the Sixth was engaged ; it then moved into Maryland, where it was subsequently assigned to the Third Corps, becoming the Third Division. The regiment was in the Third Corps at Mine Run, in which affair it took a prominent part, being then in Keifer s (2d) Brigade, Carr s (3d) Division, Third Corps. The principal engagement of the Mine Run campaign occurred at Locust Grove, a fight which devolved almost wholly on Carr s Division, and largely on the Sixth Maryland. In March, 1864, the entire division was transferred to the Sixth Corps, the regiment becoming a part of the Second Brigade (Col. B. F. Smith s). Upon its transfer to the Sixth Corps, the division was placed under the command of General Ricketts. Colonel Howard resigned May 5, 1863, and was succeeded by Colonel Horn, who resigned in February, 1865. The Sixth fought with signal gallantry in the battles of the Wilderness and Cold Harbor, its losses in the former action being unusually severe. On July 6, 1864, the division was ordered on transports at City Point, Va., and sailed for Baltimore to meet Early s invasion of Maryland. Owing to delay in transportation, the regiment did not arrive in time to participate in the battle of the Monocacy, but in time to cover the retreat of Ricketts s Division. General Ricketts was wounded at Cedar Creek, and was succeeded by General Seymour. The regiment did some good fighting in the Valley, and, also, in the final battles of the war. It was mustered ou| June 20, 1865. 310 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. SEVENTH WEST VIRGINIA INFANTRY. KIMBALL S BRIGADE FRENCH S DIVISION SECOND CORPS. (1) COLONEL JAMES EVANS.

NOTES. At Gettysburg, the Seventh West Virginia, under command of Colonel Jonathan Lockwood, charged and drove back the Seventh Virginia (Confederate), wounding and capturing its Colonel; also, a Lieu tenant Lockwood, a nephew of Lieutenant-Colonel Lockwood, who was wounded. Becoming much reduced in numbers, it was consolidated, on September 5, 1863, into four companies, the enrollment given above being the number enrolled up to that time ; three new companies were added in March, 1865. As an acknowledgment of the superior qualities of the Battalion, it was furnished, in 1864, with Henry rifles sixteen shooters. The Seventh was organized in August, 1861, serving in West Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley until May, 1862, when it was assigned to KimbalPs Brigade, which joined McClellan s army at Harrison s Landing, just after the battle of Malvern Hill. At Antietam, the regiment lost 29 killed and 1 16 wounded ; no missing. In that battle, Colonel Snider and Lieutenant-Colonel Lockwood had their horses killed under them, and three color bearers were killed. Its casualties at Gettysburg were 5 killed, 41 wounded, and i missing. It recnlisted and returned to Wheeling on its veteran furlough in February, 1864, taking the field again in May, 1864, in Carroll s (3d) Bri gade, Gibbon s (2d) Division, Second Corps. Subsequently, this brigade was commanded by General Thomas A. Smyth, and the division by General William Hays. The Seventh was mustered out July i, 1865, having served with credit to itself and honor to its State. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 311 FIFTH OHIO INFANTRY.

NOTES. One of the finest regiments in the service. It was raised in Northern Ohio, with rendezvous at Cleveland, and was composed of exceptionally good material. Its ranks included men of culture and good social position, clergymen, students, teachers, bankers, farmers, and mechanics. They enlisted promptly at the first news of war, the regiment organizing in April for the three months service, but entering the three years service, almost to a man, when the second call for troops was made. It left the State June 26, 1861, and proceeded to West Virginia. While encamped by itself at Cross Lanes, W. Va., it was attacked by a large force under General Floyd ; the regiment made an obstinate defense, but was driven from the field with a severe loss, many of the men being captured. The principal losses of the Seventh were, at Kernstown, 20 killed, 62 wounded, and 10 missing; at Port Republic, 10 killed, 55 wounded, and 10 missing; at Cedar Mountain, 31 killed, 149 wounded, and 2 missing, out of 307 present; at Antietam, 5 killed,and 33 wounded; at Chancellorsville, 16 killed, 62 wounded, and 21 missing; and at Ringgold, Ga., 16 killed, and 58 wounded, out of 206 present. At Ring- gold, Colonel Creighton, Lieutenant-Colonel Orrin J. Crane, Adjutant Baxter, and two Lieutenants were killed, while the remaining officers, with one exception, were all wounded. At Kernstown, the Seventh was in Shields s Division ; General Augur commanded the division at Cedar Mountain, General Greene at Antietam, and General Geary in its subsequent battles. While on the Atlanta campaign, on June 24, 1864, the Seventh received notice that its enlistment had expired, and was ordered home. The recruits were transferred to the Fifth Ohio.

NOTES. The Eighth, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Sawyer, distinguished itself at Gettysburg by its effective service at an important point on the line. On the afternoon of the second day s battle it drove the Confederate Sharpshooters out of a cut on the Emmettsburg Road, at a point in front of Hays s Division. This advanced point, between the lines, was held by the regiment without leaving it until the close of the battle on the next day ; by changing front, this advanced position enabled the Eighth to strike Pcttigrew s Division in its flank, as it fell back at the time of Pickett s repulse, the regiment capturing three stands ot colors and a large number of prisoners. In seizing this point on the Emmettsburg Road, and in defending it against the enemy s skirmish line during these two days, the regiment lost 18 killed, 83 wounded, and i missing, out of 209 present for duty. The Eighth Ohio organized in April, 1861, as a three months regiment, but reenlisted soon after for three years. It served in West Virginia until March, 1862, when it moved with Shields s Division up the Shen- andoah, fighting at the battle of Kernstown, where it lost n killed, 41 wounded, and i missing. In July it joined the Army of the Potomac at Harrison s Landing, where it was assigned to Kimball s (ist) Brigade, French s (3d) Division, Second Corps. At Antietam, the regiment lost 32 killed, and 129 wounded; at Fred ericksburg, 6 killed, and 27 wounded. While on the Wilderness campaign the Eighth was in Carroll s (3d) Brigade, Gibbon s (2d) Division, Second Corps. Ordered home June 25, 1864, for muster-out. 314 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

C. NOTES. Recruited at Toledo, in April, 1861, in response to the first call for troops, its first enlistment being for three months. It served its three months in West Virginia, during which it fought in some minor engage ments. Upon its return to Toledo it reassembled after a short furlough and volunteered for three years, with but little change in the organization. Leaving Toledo, August 24, 1861, it proceeded to Kentucky, where it was assigned to Manson s Brigade, and was engaged for several months in the various movements against the Confed erate forces. In March, 1862, it marched with Buell s army to reenforce Grant, but the Fourteenth did not arrive at Shiloh until the fighting was over. After participating in the Siege of Corinth, it marched with the Army of the Ohio on its arduous campaigns in Tennessee and Kentucky. At Perryville it was in Fry s Brigade of Schoepf s Division, but was not engaged, after which the brigade went into winter quarters at Gallatin, Tenn. At Chickamauga, the regiment was in Croxton s (2d) Brigade, Brannan s (3d) Division, Fourteenth Corps, los ing 35 killed, 167 wounded, and 43 missing, out of 449 engaged. During the Atlanta campaign the regiment served in Este s (3d) Brigade, Baird s (3d) Division, Fourteenth Corps. This brigade distinguished itself, par ticularly, at Jonesboro, where it carried the enemy s works by assault, losing one-third of its number within a few minutes. Among the killed were several men of the Fourteenth whose term of service had expired, but who volunteered to go into this action. The regiment having reenlisted, remained in the Fourteenth Corps until the close of the war. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS.

NOTES. Organized in May, 1861, as a three months regiment, serving in West Virginia, where it participated in the actions of Phillippi, and Carrick s Ford. Upon the expiration of its three months term, it returned to Columbus, O., where it volunteered for three years, leaving the State on October 4th. Proceeding to Kentucky, it was assigned, soon after, to McCook s Division of Knell s Army, with which it marched to the battlefield of Shiloh, where it lost 7 killed, 66 wounded, and 2 missing. It was present at the Siege of Corinth, and participated in the long marches in the summer and fall of 1862, its next battle occurring at Stone s River, at which time it was in Willich s (ist) Brigade, Johnson s (zd) Division, McCook s Corps; loss, 17 killed, 70 wounded, and 128 captured or missing. After this battle the regiment lay at Murfreesboro until June, 1863, when it joined in the forward movement of the Army, and was engaged at Liberty Gap, losing there 8 killed, and 24 wounded. At Chickamauga, it lost 10 killed, 77 wounded, and 33 missing. About 350 of the men reenlisted in January, 1864, and received a veteran furlough, returning with a large number of recruits, which swelled the ranks to over 900 effectives. In October, 1863, the regiment was assigned to Willich s (ist) Brigade, Wood s (31!) Division, Fourth Corps. While on the Atlanta campaign, this brigade (Gibson s) was hotly engaged at Pickctt s Mills, Ga., the regiment losing there 19 killed, 64 wounded, and 19 missing, many of the latter l>eing killed or wounded.

The three years regiment left the State October 2, 1 86 1, and moved into Kentucky, where it was assigned to Sill s Brigade, General O. M. Mitchel s Division. It accompanied Mitchel on his march to Huntsville, Ala., and on the various campaigns which culminated in the battle of Stone s River, December 31, 1862 ; at that battle it was in Miller s (3d) Brigade, Negley s (2d) Divi sion, Fourteenth Corps, its losses aggregating 24 killed, 109 wounded, and 26 missing. The regiment remained at Murfreesboro from January, 1863, until June, when it moved southward with the Army, it? next engagement occurring at Chickamauga, where it lost 28 killed, 84 wounded, and 131 captured or missing, Lieutenant-Colo nel D.

A regiment remarkable for the famous names of its various commanders, while others with brilliant National reputations also appeared on its rolls in subordinate capacities. It was mustered-in for three years, on the i ith of June, 1861, at Columbus, O., leaving the State in July, and proceeding to West Virginia, where for a time it was divided the right wing, under Lieutenant-Colonel Stanley Matthews, operating against the guerrilla bands, while the other five companies were stationed at Weston. Having reunited, the regiment was present at the battle of Carnifex Ferry, and at several minor affairs, remaining in West Virginia until September, 1862, when the Kanawha Division joined McClellan s Army and was assigned temporarily to the Ninth Corps. Under com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel R. B. Hayes, the Twenty-third opened the battle of South Mountain, where its gallant commander was severely- wounded, the loss of the regiment aggregating 32 killed, 95 wounded, and 3 missing. Three days later, at Antietam, it lost 8 killed, 59 wounded, and 2 missing ; it was then in Scammon s Brigade. Soon after the battle of Antietam the Kanawha Division returned to West Virginia, making its winter- quarters at the Falls of the Great Kanawha, after which it encamped at Charlestown, W.Va., during the year 1863, and in the spring of 1864. The Twenty-third fought at Cloyd s Mountain, and then served during the summer of 1864 in Crook s Corps, of Hunter s Army. In the fall of 1864 it participated, with the Kighth Corps (Crook s), in all of Sheridan s battles in the Shenandoah Valley, after which it returned to West Virginia where it remained until July, 1865, when it was mustered out. 318 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

This regiment saw an unusual amount of hard service on campaigns outside the beaten track of the main armies, and sustained a heavy loss in action, most of which occurred in battles seldom mentioned in the history of the war. The Thirty-fourth was organized at Camp Lucas, Clermont County, during the summer of 1 86 1, leaving the State on the I5th of September. It was ordered to West Virginia, where its fighting and marching immediately commenced, the guerrilla warfare in that section requiring a constant vigilance, with frequent counter attacks. The absence of the Kanawha Division in September, 1862, then with McClellan in Maryland induced the Confederates, under General Long, to attack Fayetteville, in which affair six companies of the regiment lost 16 killed, 87 wounded, and 112 captured. The garrison fell back, abandoning the Kanawha Valley to the enemy, who held it until the return of Cox s Kanawha Division from Antietam. In 1863, the regi ment served as mounted infantry, fighting as such at Wytheville, where Colonel Toland was killed ; in July, 1864, it was dismounted, and, serving again as infantry, fought under General Crook at Winchester, July 2Oth and 24th, Lieutenant-Colonel John W. Shaw being killed in the latter action. On the 26th of February, 1865, the organi zation of the Thirty- fourth was discontinued, and the men were transferred to the Thirty-sixth Ohio.

Mustered in September 4, 1862, and ordered to Western Virginia, where it remained during the next eight months, stationed most of that time at Martinsburg, engaged in guard duty along the railroad, its work varied occasionally by scouting expeditions into the enemy s country for the suppression of guerrilla bands. It was then in B. F. Smith s Brigade, Second Division, Eighth Corps. Upon Lee s advance, in June, 1863, the reg iment, with other troops, was attacked at Martinsburg, and after a sharp fight was forced to fall back to Harper s Ferry, where it joined that garrison --French s Division. This division was shortly afterwards attached to the Third Corps, becoming its Third (Carr s) Division. Upon the discontinuance of the Third Corps, in April, 1864, this division was transferred to the Sixth Corps, in which it served until the end of the war. While in the Sixth Corps the division was commanded by General Ricketts, who was wounded at Cedar Creek, and succeeded by General Seymour. At the battle of the Wilderness the regiment faced a terrible fire, which more than decimated its ranks, its casualties there amounting to 22 killed, 125 wounded, and 62 missing. At Spotsylvania it lost 21 killed, 56 wounded, and i missing. In July, 1864, the division Ricketts s was ordered to Maryland to meet Early s invasion, after which it fought under Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley. While on the latter campaign, Lieutenant-Colonel Aaron W. Elbright, commanding the regiment, was killed at the battle of the Opequon, in which action the regiment lost 12 killed, 40 wounded, and 2 missing. At Fisher s Hill it lost 6 killed, 25 wounded, and i missing, the heaviest loss sustained by any regiment in that battle ; and at Cedar Creek, 4 killed, 15 wounded, and 6 missing. The Corps returned to Petersburg in December, 1864, where it shared in the final struggles and triumphs of the war. It was mustered out June 25, 1865. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS.

NOTES. Organized at Camp Joe Holt, Indiana, September 9, 1861, and crossing into Kentucky, soon after, it commenced its active service in Rousseau s Brigade, McCook s Division. In March, 1862, it marched with Buell s Army to re-enforce Grant, arriving on the field of Shiloh in time to take part in the battle and change a defeat into a victory. The Fifth was actively engaged there, losing 7 killed and 56 wounded. After participat ing next in the Siege of Corinth, it moved with Buell s troops on their long and arduous campaigns, the next battle of the regiment occurring at Stone s River, Tenn., on December 31, 1862. It was then in Baldwin s (3d) Brigade, Johnson s (ad) Division, McCook s Corps; its loss in that engagement was 19 killed, 80 wounded, and 26 missing, out of 320 engaged, a part of the regiment being on detached service. The Fifth suffered its severest loss at Chickamauga, its casualties on that field amounting to 14 killed, 79 wounded, and 32 missing, out of a small number engaged ; Major Charles L.

The regiment was then in Lytle s Brigade, Rousseau s Division, McCook s Corps, and sustained a fearful loss in that battle, its casualties amounting to 66 killed, and 130 wounded ; no missing. The three field-officers, Colonel Pope, Lieutenant-Colonel George P. Jouett, and Major William. P. Campbell, were killed in this battle ; two of the line-officers also lost their lives there. The Fifteenth carried itself through this bloody action with a cool gallantry and steadiness of movement which elicited strong words of praise in the official reports of that action. At Stone s River, the regiment lost 10 killed, 32 wounded, and 18 missing; Forman, the "Brave Boy Colonel," being among the killed. At Chickamauga, then in Beatty s (ist) Brigade, Negley s (2d) Division, Fourteenth Corps, the regiment lost 5 killed, 42 wounded, and 15 missing.

NOTES. Originally a three months regiment, but reorganized for the three years service on September 20, 1 86 1. It moved into Kentucky on the same day, being the first body of troops to enter that State from the North. Having been assigned to Rousseau s Brigade of McCook s Division, it remained in Kentucky until March, 1862, when it marched to Pittsburg Landing, Tenn., arriving there in time to participate in the second day s battle at Shiloh, where it rendered effective service. Its loss in this, its first battle, was 4 killed, 36 wounded, and 2 missing. The regiment fought next at Stone s River, then in Johnson s (ist) Division of McCook s Corps, Colonel Baldwin commanding the brigade, and Lieutenant-Colonel Tripp the regiment ; its casualties on that field were 17 killed, 50 wounded, and 37 missing. The regiment remained at Murfreesboro until June, 1863, when it marched with Rosecrans on his advance to Chattanooga and successful occupation of that place. Colonel Baldwin was killed at Chickamauga while in command of the brigade, the regiment losing there 13 killed, 1 1 6 wounded, and 31 missing.

NOTES. The Ninth went out at first in the three months service, but upon its return re-organized under a three years enlistment. Leaving Indiana in September, 1861, it proceeded to West Virginia, where it remained on duty until February, 1862, fighting in the meanwhile at the battles of Green Brier and Camp Allegheny; in the latter engagement there was some sharp fighting in which the Ninth lost 8 killed, and 13 wounded. In Feb ruary, 1862, it was ordered to join Buell s Army, where it was assigned to Hazen s Brigade of Nelson s Division, with which it marched to Shiloh ; its losses in that battle were 17 killed and 153 wounded. The year 1862 was one of arduous campaigns and long marches, ending, with the year, in Rosecrans s hard- fought battle of Stone s River. The regiment was then in Palmer s (2d) Division, of Crittenden s Corps, its casualties on that field amounting to n killed, 87 wounded, and n missing. At Chickamauga, it lost 13 killed, 91 wounded, and 22 missing. In October, 1863, the regiment was assigned to Grose s (3d)Brigade, Palmer s (ist) Division, Fourth Corps. During the Atlanta campaign this division was commanded by General Stanley, and by General Kimball in the Franklin-Nashville campaign. The regiment reenlisted in December, 1863, and thus preserved its organi zation during the war. After the victory over Hood, at Nashville, December 15, 1864, it marched into East Tennessee ; from there it moved to Texas, where it remained with the Army of Occupation until September, 1865, when it was mustered out and returned home. 34:2 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

It was ordered into West Virginia, where it served until the spring of 1862, when it moved with Shields s Division up the Shenan- doah Valley, and fought at Kernstown, losing there 4 killed, and 50 wounded. In July it joined the Army of the Potomac at Harrison s Landing, where it was assigned to Kimball s (ist) Brigade, French s (3d) Division, Second Corps. This brigade did good service at Antietam, earning there its title of "The Gibraltar Brigade." The Fourteenth went into that action with 320 men; its casualties were 31 killed and 150 wounded; no missing. The Gibraltar Brigade opened the battle of Fredericksburg on the morning of December I3th, leading the attack on Marye s Heights, in which the regiment lost 5 killed, 65 wounded, and 5 missing. At Chancellorsville, the losses were 7 killed, 50 wounded, and 7 missing; at Gettysburg, 6 killed and 25 wounded. In the latter engagement it was in Carroll s Brigade, which distinguished itself by its promptness and efficiency in rescuing Ricketts s Battery from the charge of the "Louisiana Tigers " on Cemetery Hill. During the Wilderness cam- paign,Carroll s Brigade served in Gibbon s (2d) Division, winning additional laurels by its gallant action. Colonel Coons was killed at Spotsylvania, while "sitting calmly on his horse in the trenches, and firing barrel after barrel of his revolver at the Confederates, who were swarming up on the other side of the breastworks."* The Four teenth fought its last battle at Cold Harbor, after which it was ordered home for muster-out. * History Second Corps, by General Francis A.

Leaving the State, August 2, 1861, it proceeded to Cockeysville, Md., where it guarded the railroad for several weeks. It sailed for Hatteras Inlet, N. C., September 24th, and thence in November to Fort Monroe, where it passed the winter. While encamped at Newport News, it participated in the fight between the Mer- rimac and the Congress ; the regiment having been deployed on the beach under the fire of the Confederate vessels, prevented the enemy from taking possession of the Congress. It went to Norfolk in May, and in the following month joined McClellan s Army then on the Chickahominy, where it was placed in Robinson s (ist) Brigade, Kearny s (3d) Division, Third Corps. In the affair of June 25, 1862, at Oak Grove, or "The Orchards," the Twentieth received the principal attack and sustained the heaviest loss, its casualties amounting to n killed, 82 wounded, and 32 missing. At Manassas, the losses were 4 killed, 35 wounded and 6 missing, Colonel Brown being among the killed. After this battle the Corps, having become greatly reduced by its losses, was withdrawn from active service to enable it to rest, and the wounded or missing to return ; hence it was not pre sent at Antietam. At Gettysburg Ward s Brigade, Birney s Division its losses amounted to 32 killed, in cluding Colonel Wheeler, 114 wounded, and 10 missing. In 1864, the division was transferred to the Second Corps, the Twentieth fighting under Hancock from that time on. Lieutenant-Colonel Meikel was killed at Petersburg.

Organized at Madison, Ind., on the i5th of July, 1861, leaving the State in the following month. Joining Fremont s army at St. Louis, it marched to the relief of Lexington. While on the way to that place the Union troops fired into each other by mistake, in which affair Major Gordon Tanner, of the Twenty-second, was mortally wounded. Colonel Davis being promoted Brigadier, the regiment was attached to his division with which it marched, in January, 1862, on Curtis s expedition against Price, and thence to the battle of Pea Ridge ; its casualties in that engagement were 9 killed, and 33 wounded, including Lieutenant-Colonel John A. Hen- dricks, who fell, mortally wounded. The regiment then joined the army at the Siege of Corinth, after which it was stationed in Northern Mississippi until August, 1862, when it marched with Buell on the Kentucky cam paign. /\t the battle of Chaplin Hills, Ky., October 8, 1862, the regiment was in Mitchell s (R. B.) Division ; Colonel Gooding commanded the brigade, and Lieutenant-Colonel Keith the regiment. Keith fell dead, at the head of his men, while waving his sword and cheering on the line.

NOTES. Silas Colgrove was the typical " old-fashioned Colonel " of the American Army. At times, brave and courageous to a fault ; at others, careful and judicious to an admirable degree. He was always kind and cheerful to his men, winning not only their admiration and respect, but their love and confidence. His stanch, soldierly virtues were largely reflected in his men, making the Twenty-seventh a reliable and hard fight ing regiment. That it faced unflinchingly the musketry of many fields is clearly indicated in its extraordinary percentage of loss. It left the State September 15, 1861, and soon after its arrival at Washington was assigned to Banks s command. It wintered near Frederick, Md., and in the spring participated in Banks s Shenandoah campaign. After that, its history is identical with that of the Twelfth Corps and Williams s Division. Its casualties in battle were severe, especially in proportion to its numbers. It lost at Cedar Mountain 15 killed, 29 wounded, and 6 missing; at Antietam, 18 killed, 191 wounded, no missing; at Chancellorsville, 20 killed, 126 wounded, and 4 missing; at Gettysburg, 23 killed, 86 wounded, and i missing At Resaca, Ga., the regiment captured the colors and the Colonel of the Thirty-eighth Alabama, together with a large number of prisoners, Colgrove handling his men well in this fight, the loss not exceeding 68 killed and wounded, while it inflicted five times that on the enemy. In 1864 the designation of the Corps was changed to the Twentieth, although the old badges and division commanders were retained. The regiment served in the Twentieth Corps in the Atlanta campaign, after which, its term having expired, it was mustered out. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 347 THIRTIETH INDIANA INFANTRY.

The Colonel fell, mortally wounded, in this engagement, while the total casualties in the regiment amounted to 12 killed, 115 wounded, and 2 missing. The Thirtieth was then in Kirk s Brigade of A. D. McCook s Division. After the Siege of Corinth it marched with Buell through Northern Alabama and Tennessee into Kentucky, and thence to Nashville. At Stone s River it fought in Johnson s (2d) Division, McCook s Corps, losing in that battle, 31 killed, 1 10 wounded, and 72 missing.

NOTES. A German regiment, organized through the exertions of Colonel Willich, an officer who had seen sqrvice in the German army, and who, also, achieved a brilliant success in the War of the Rebellion. The regi ment left Indiana in September, proceeding to Kentucky where it served for several months. While on duty at Rowlett s Station, Ky.> guarding a railroad bridge, it was attacked on December 17, 1861, by a superior force under General Hindman, but succeeded in repulsing the attack. The gallantry of the regiment in this affair elicited a special order from General Buell, acknowledging the service performed. The loss of the Thirty- second in that fight was n killed, 22 wounded, and 5 missing, out of 418 engaged. In February, 1862, it moved to Bowling Green, Ky., and thence to Nashville, where it remained a short time, after which it marched to Shiloh, then in Rousseau s Division.

S. A., with U. S. Grant as colonel. Grant continued in command of his regiment until the 7th of August, when he was promoted, and entered on the career which was to culminate in grandeur at Appomattox. The regiment served in Missouri until May, 1862, and then it joined Buell s Army. It was engaged at the battle of Perryville, Ky., but with only a slight loss in wounded. At Stone s River, it par ticipated in the hardest of the fighting, losing in that battle, and in the preliminary skirmish at Knob Gab, 5 7 killed, 187 wounded and 59 missing; total 303. The regiment was then in Carlin s (2d) Brigade, Davis s (ist) Division, McCook s Corps, and sustained the heaviest loss of any regiment on that field. Four color-bearers were shot down, but the colors were carried safely through the fight. At Chickamauga it lost 22 killed, 70 wounded, and 146 captured or missing ; Colonel Alexander, an officer of rare merit, was killed there. After this battle the Twenty-first was assigned to Cruft s (ist) Brigade, Stanley s (ist) Division, Fourth Corps. The regiment reenlisted in March, 1864, upon which it returned to Illinois on a veteran furlough. It rejoined the Army while at the front, near Kenesaw Mountain, the men who did not reenlist having been attached during the meanwhile to the One Hundred and First Ohio. After participating in the Atlanta and Nashville campaigns of 1864, it ac companied its corps to Texas, where it was mustered out in December, 1865. TIIKKK HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS.

Recruited in La Salle County, and organized at Ottawa, 111., in August, 1862. The regiment pro ceeded immediately to Louisville, Ky , where it was uniformed and armed, after which it was assigned to Dumont s Division of Buell s Army. After participating in the Kentucky campaign of that fall, it was stationed at Harts ville, Tenn., where it was attacked, Decembei 6, 1862, by a Confederate brigade under General Morgan. At that time the garrison at Hartsville consisted of three regiments, two companies of cavalry, and a section of light artillery. After a sharp fight in the fields outside the town, the garrison was surrounded and compelled to surrender; the losses of the One Hundred and Fourth amounted to 25 killed, 131 wounded, and 568 captured. The men were immediately released on parole, and the regiment went to Camp Douglass, Chicago, to await notice of exchange, which was icceived in the spring of 1863. Rejoining the Army of the Cumberland, the regiment was assigned to Beatty s (ist) Brigade, Negley s (2d) Division, Fourteenth Corps. It was engaged at Hoover s Gap, with a slight loss, and then at Chickamauga, where it lost 2 killed, 46 wounded, and 16 missing. In October, the One Hundred and Fourth was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Fourteenth Corps, in which it remained without further change ; this division was commanded by Johnson, and then by Carlin. The regiment lost at Peach Tree Creek, 16 killed, 29 wounded, and 5 missing; and at Utoy Creek, 5 killed and 18 wounded. It accompanied Carlin s Division on the March through Geoigia, and then fought under Carlin in the Carolinas. 376 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. FIRST MICHIGAN CAVALKY.

It was organized at Detroit in August, 1861, and left the State on September 29, with 1,144 officers and men. It went into winter quarters at Frederick, Md., but in February, 1862, moved into Virginia, joining Banks s troops in their advance up the Shenandoah Valley. While there it was attached to Williams s Division, and took a large share of the cavalry fighting in that campaign. Colonel Brodhead fell, mortally wounded, at Manassas while leading a charge ; the loss of the regiment in that battle was 8 killed, 13 wounded, and 97 captured, many of the latter being wounded ; it was then in Buford s Cavalry Brigade. In 1863 the regiment was assigned to Custer s Brigade of Michigan Cavalry. At Gettysburg the regiment lost 10 killed, 43 wounded, and 20 miss ing out of 300 engaged, the loss occurring in a charge against a superior force; a charge which Custer pro nounced unequalled for brilliancy and gallantry in "the annals of warfare." In the spring campaign of 1864, the losses from May 4th to June 3oth were 40 killed, 138 wounded, and 65 missing; total, 243. The list of battles given above are those only in which men were killed, but the regiment participated in many others in which it lost men wounded or captured.

Organized at Detroit in Aug. 1862, leaving the State on December 4th with 1,144 officers and men. Proceeding directly to Washington it joined the Michigan Brigade, then being formed, composed of the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Michigan Cavalry, to which the First Michigan Cavalry was subsequently added. General Custer assumed command of the brigade while on its march to Gettysburg, where it had its first opportunity to distinguish itself under fire. The brigade sustained the heaviest loss at Gettysburg of any cavalry brigade in that battle. The Fifth was commanded there by Colonel Alger, who had served previously as a Major in the Second Michigan Cavalry, from which he was promoted to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the Sixth, and thence to the Colonelcy of the Fifth ; he was one of the ablest cavalry officers in the Army. The loss of the Fifth at Gettys burg was 8 killed, 30 wounded, and 18 missing ; Major Noah H. Ferry was killed there. At Hawes s Shop, out of 15 i engaged, 55 were killed or wounded. The regiment met its heaviest loss ia the cavalry affair at Trevilian Station, where in addition to the killed and wounded 136 were taken prisoners, the regiment having charged too far through an opening in the enemy s line, and being cut off from the brigade it was obliged to cut its way out. 378 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

One of the most remarkable and gallant cavalry charges of the war was made by a squadron of the Sixth Michigan Cavalry at Falling "Waters, Md., on July 14, 1863. In the retreat from Gettysburg, a Confederate division made a stand at Falling Waters on the Potomac, to cover the crossing of troops, and intrenched their position. This position was attacked by four companies of the Sixth Companies D, C, B, and F led by Major Peter A. Weber, who with two other officers was killed in the affair. The outer line of works was carried, and the men leaped their horses over the inner line, but were obliged to retreat with a heavy loss. At Hawes s Shop, Custer s Brigade fought dismounted, the Sixth Regiment losing 16 killed and 19 wounded out of 140 engaged. In Sheridan s cavalry campaign in 1864 from May 4th to June 3Oth the Sixth lost 29 killed, 60 wounded, and 64 missing ; many of the latter were killed or wounded. After the close of the war the brigade was ordered to the far West where it was engaged in fighting Indians. The Sixth was organized at Grand Rapids under the second call for volunteers, and was mustered into the service of the United States, October 13, 1862. It left Grand Rapids, 1,229 strong, on the loth of December, 1862, and proceeded to Washington where it was assigned to the Michigan Cavalry Brigade. This brigade was commanded by General Copeland, who was succeeded in June, 1863, by General Custer. The brigade was mustered out on November 24, 1865, the recruits having been previously transferred to the First Michigan Veteran Cavalry, which was not mustered out until March 10, 1866.

NOTES. Recruiting for this regiment began in the fall of 1862, and on July 7, 1863, six companies were mustered in. These six companies were immediately ordered to Indiana, where they took an active part in checking the advance of Morgan s Raid, after which they returned to the rendezvous at Deaiborn, Mich., where the remaining four companies were soon afterwards recruited. It was ordered to Chicago in August, and placed on guard over the Confederate prisoners at Camp Douglass. It joined the Army of the Potomac in March, 1864, at Annapolis, Aid., where it was assigned to Christ s (2d) Brigade, Willcox s (sd) Division. The regi ment encountered hard fighting at Spotsylvania, its losses in the action of Alay i2th amounting to 34 killed, 1 17 wounded, and 3 missing, Major John Piper being among the killed. Another bloody contest occurred at the assault on Petersburg, June 1 7th, where, under command of Alajor Levant C. Rhines, the regiment took a prominent and meritorious part; its loss in that action was 75 killed and wounded, besides 81 missing, many of whom were killed or disabled ; Major Rhines was killed in this action. The regiment was then transferred to the First Division, in which it afterwards remained. Upon the fall of Petersburg, the regiment then in Ely s Brigade was the first to enter the city, its flag appearing on the Court House, April 3, 1865, at 4.28 A. M. A few minutes later, the colors of the Second Michigan, of the same brigade, were unfurled from the Custom House. One company in this regiment was composed of Indians, who distinguished themselves in action by theii coolness and efficient markmanship. 380 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. Originally a three months regiment which organized in April, 1861, and fought at First Bull Run. Upon its return it reorganized at Ann Arbor, Mich., under a three years enlistment, and, leaving the State on September 16, returned to the seat of war in Virginia. During the winter of i86i- 62 it was encamped at Annapolis Junction, Md., engaged in guarding the railroad. In March, 1862, it moved to Fort Monroe, and thence up the Peninsula with Morell s (ist) Division, Fifth Corps. At Gaines s Mill the regiment, under command of Colonel Roberts, did some hard fighting, losing 27 killed, 81 wounded, and 43 missing. Still harder fighting, with heavier losses, was encountered at Manassas, where its casualties amounted to 33 killed, 114 wounded, and 31 missing; total, 178 out of 20 officers and 220 men engaged. In this battle the colonel, four captains, and three lieutenants were killed, and eight line officers were wounded. Lieutenant-Colonel Abbott led the regiment at Fredericksburg, its losses there aggregating 8 killed, and 40 wounded. In that battle the brigade was commanded by General Barnes, and the division by General Griffin. In May, 1864, the regiment entered on Grant s campaign with only i 76 muskets. It was then in the Third Brigade (General Joseph J. Bartlett s), with General Griffin still in command of the division. The loss of the regiment in the battles of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania was 8 killed, 66 wounded, and 12 missing. In February, 1864, a part of the regiment, 2 1 3 in number, reiinlisted ; these, with the recruits, preserved the organization throughout the war.

Proceeding to Virginia it joined in the advance to First Bull Run, but was not engaged there. The fol lowing winter was spent in camp at Miner s Hill, Va., moving in the early spring to the Peninsula with the main army, where it was assigned to the Second Brigade (Griffin s), First Division (Morell s), Fifth Corps, in which it remained, with occasional change of commanders, during its entire service. It encountered its first hard fighting at Gaines s Mill, where it lost 15 killed, 41 wounded, and 32 missing ; at Malvern Hill, four days later, its casual ties were 41 killed, 100 wounded, and 23 missing, Colonel Woodbury being among the killed.

NOTES. The Fifth sustained the heaviest loss in battle of any Michigan regiment. Its first experience in battle was at Williamsburg, where the three Michigan regiments in Berry s Brigade won merited honors, the loss of the Fifth in that battle amounting to 29 killed, and 115 wounded. It was also hotly engaged at Fair Oaks, where it lost 31 killed, 105 wounded, and 19 missing, out of less than 330 engaged. The regiment entered the Seven Days Battle with only 216 men, of whom 59 were killed, or wounded. Major John D. Fairbanks, com manding the regiment, was killed at Glendale. At Fredericksburg the commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel John Gilluly, was killed while leading a charge, the casualties in the regiment aggregating 10 killed, and 73 wounded. Lieutenant-Colonel Edward T. Sherlock succeeded to the command, and was killed in the next battle at Chancellorsville. At Gettysburg in Birney s Division it lost 19 killed, 86 wounded, and 4 miss ing. It marched with the Second Corps on the campaign of May, 1864, numbering 365 men, as officially reported; its casualties a few days later at the Wilderness, were 16 killed, 79 wounded, and 2 missing; total, 97. Of the small number remaining, 58 fell the next week at Spotsylvania. In June, 1864, the regiment received 325 men from the Third Michigan, which, with subsequent accessions, enabled it to preserve its organ ization until the end of the war.

There was not a more gallant deed performed during the war than that of the Seventh Michigan when it led the forlorn hope across the river at Fredericksburg, December 1 1, 1862. The Engineers had tried for hours to lay a pontoon bridge under the fire of the sharpshooters who were safely posted in the buildings which lined the opposite bank. The pontoniers laid their bridge two-thirds across, but abandoned it, many of the men having been shot down while at work. A heavy artillery fire having failed to dislodge the enemy, a call was made for volunteers to cross in boats and drive away the enemy s riflemen. In response, the men of the Seventh seized some empty pontoons, pushed them into the water, and springing into them rowed rapidly across, some of the Engineers assisting at the oars. Leaping ashore, the Seventh drove the enemy from the rifle-pits and houses. The Nineteenth and Twentieth Massachusetts regiments followed quickly in other boats and the posi tion was held. The move was made so boldly and rapidly that the gallant regiment sustained but small loss ; Lieutenant-Colonel Baxter, who led the regiment, was wounded while crossing in one of the boats. At Antietam, - in Sedgwick s Division the regiment lost 39 killed, 178 wounded, and 4 missing; total, 221. It took 14 officers and 151 men into the fight at Gettysburg, losing 21 killed, and 44 wounded ; Lieutenant-Colonel AmosE. Steele, Jr., who was in command in that battle, was killed. 25 380 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. EIGHTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY. HARTRANFT S BRIGADE WILLCOX S DIVISION NINTH CORPS. (1) COL.

It encamped on Meridian Hill for five weeks, and then went to Annapolis, where it embarked with Sherman s Expedition for Hilton Head, S. C. In the assault on the earthworks at Secession- ville (James Island), June 16, 1862, the regiment signally distinguished itself. The brigade in Stevens s Division was commanded in that action by Colonel Fenton, and the regiment by Lieutenant-Colonel Graves. Supported by the Seventy-ninth New York (Highlanders), the Eighth gained the parapet of the works by a daring and dashing charge, but was obliged to relinquish its foothold with a loss of 48 killed, 120 wounded, and 9 missing, out of 25 officers and 509 enlisted men engaged. In July, 1862, it moved to Fort Monroe, where it joined the Ninth Corps, in which it fought at Manassas and in all the subsequent battles of the Corps; the casualties at Manassas, including Chantilly, were 10 killed, 56 wounded, and 12 missing. The regiment accompanied the Ninth Corps Leasure s Brigade, AVelsh s Division in its occupation of Kentucky, the Siege of Vicksburg, the East Tenenssee campaign, and returned with it to Virginia in the spring of 1864. At the Wilderness it lost n killed, 80 wounded, and 14 missing. Colonel Graves was killed at the Wilderness; Major W. E. Lewis, at Bethesda Church ; and Major Horatio Belcher, at the Weldon Railroad.

NOTES. Organized originally as " Stockton s Independent Regiment," under authority from the Secretary of War, but it was soon included in the State service. It left the State on September 16, i ^64, with ten companies, - 761 officers and men ; two companies of sharpshooters joined it later, making twelve companies, one joining in 1862, the other in 1864. The regiment went into winter quarters at Hall s Hill, Va., and in March, 1862, moved to the Peninsula. It was assigned to the Third Brigade, First Division, Fifth Corps, in which it remained throughout the war ; at that time the brigade was commanded by General Butterfield, and the division by General Morell.

NOTES. The Seventeenth, or "Stonewall Regiment," left Detroit, 982 strong, on the 27th of August, 1862. On its arrival at Washington it was assigned to the First Brigade (Colonel Christ s), First Division (Willcox s), Ninth Corps, and ordered immediately into Maryland where it joined McClellan s army, then on its way to meet Lee. Within three weeks after leaving the State it was engaged in the battle of South Mountain, where its gal lantry and effective services were acknowledged by the division-general and also by General McClellan ; its loss in that action was 26 killed and 106 wounded; no missing. General Willcox says in his official report of this battle, that the Seventeenth "performed a feat that may vie with any recorded in the annals of the war." It fought again, three days later, at Antietam, losing there 18 killed and 89 wounded. The Ninth Corps was ordered to Kentucky in March, 1863, and thence to Vicksburg, and then to East Tennessee. The Seventeenth was engaged in a sharp fight at Campbell s Station, Tenn., November 16, 1863, in which it lost 7 killed, 51 wounded, and 15 missing. It was in Knoxville during its besiegement by Longstreet, Lieutenant-Colonel Lorin L. Comstock being killed in the fighting which occurred there. The Knoxville campaign was unequalled during the war for the privation and hardships undergone by the troops. Returning to Virginia with the Corps, the regi ment participated in the bloody fighting of Grant s campaigns. At the Wilderness it lost 5 killed and 37 wounded ; and on May 12, 1864, in a charge on the enemy s works at Spotsylvania, it lost 23 killed, 73 wounded and 93 captured or missing, out of 226 engaged. The regiment was detailed soon after to serve as engineers, on which duty it remained during the rest of its service It was mustered out at Washington, June 3, 1865.

NOTES, Recruited in the Third Congressional District. It left Jackson, September i, 1862, and after a short stay at Alexandria, Va., joined McClellan s Army at Sharpsburg, Md., a few days after the battle of Antietam. It was placed in the Ninth Corps, with which it marched to Fredericksburg, where it was under fire, with a slitjht loss in wounded men. It was then in the First Brigade (Poe s), First Division (Burns s). The regiment accom panied the Ninth Corps to Kentucky, and on May loth, 1863, had a brisk fight at Horse Shoe Bend, Ky., on the Cumberland River, where it was attacked by General John Morgan, who was then making his famous raid. The regiment lost 5 killed, 19 wounded, and 5 missing. Its gallant defence, after being summoned to surrender by a vastly superior force, made this fight a notable one among the minor actions of the war. After participating in the Vicksburg campaign, and then in the fighting in East Tennessee, during which Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. Smith, its commanding officer, was killed in the affair at Campbell s Station, it returned to Virginia where it took a prominent part in all the battles of the Ninth Corps in 1864-5. It entered the Wilderness campaign in the Second Brigade, Third Division (Willcox s, afterwards the Firsi Division), and at Spotsylvania, May i2th, was en gaged in the hardest fighting of its whole experience. It lost that day, 17 killed, 108 wounded, and 19 missing; total, 144. On June 18, 1864, it participated in the assault of the Ninth Corps at Petersburg, losing half its men, Major George C. Barnes falling mortally wounded. After this battle the regiment numbered only 106 muskets. 390 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. TWENTY-FOURTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY.

NOTES. The largest number of casualties in any regiment at Gettysburg occurred in the Twenty- fourth Michigan. It was then in the Iron Brigade, Wadsworth s (ist) Division, First Corps, and fought in the battle of the first day, while in position in McPherson s woods near Willoughby Run. It was obliged to fall back from this line, but did not yield the ground until three-fourths of its number had been struck down. Entering the engage ment with 28 officers and 468 men, it lost 69 killed, 247 wounded, and 47 missing; total, 363.* Fully one-half of the missing ones were killed or wounded, Eight officers were killed, and fourteen wounded ; four color- bearers were killed, and three wounded ; Colonel Morrow was wounded and captured. Upon the discontinuance of the First Corps, in March, 1864, Wadsworth s Division was transferred to the Fifth Corps, becoming the Fourth Division, with the brigade under command of General Cutler. At the Wilder ness, the regiment captured the colors of the Forty-Eighth Virginia ; Colonel Morrow was severely wounded, and the casualties amounted to 14 killed, 48 wounded, and 42 missing or captured. Under command of Lieutenant- Colonel Albert M. Edwards, it was under fire at Spotsylvania in the various engagements near that place, sustain ing a loss of 20 killed, 39 wounded, and i missing. The regiment became so reduced by its losses that it mus tered only 120 men for the assault on Petersburg, June 18, 1864. It was withdrawn from the field in February, 1865, and ordered to Springfield, 111., where it was assigned to duty at the draft rendezvous. The regiment was mustered into the United States service August 15, 1862, having been recruited within thirty days. It was mus tered out, at Detroit, June 30, 1865. Colonel Morrow in his report, states the loss at 79 killed, 237 wounded, and " about " 83 missing. The nominal list handed in by Captain -bdwards after the battle shows 363 casualties, but divided differently from the above. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS.

NOTES. This regiment sustained the greatest percentage of loss of any in the entire Union Army. It was a fine regiment and well officered. Leaving the State June 20, 1861, it went to Virginia, where it was brigaded under command of Colonel William T. Sherman, with which command it marched to First Bull Run ; its casualties in that battle were 24 killed, 65 wounded, and 23 missing. In August, 1861, it was assigned to the command which afterwards became so famous as "The Iron Brigade of the West." This brigade, under General Gibbon, encountered hard fighting at Manassas (1862), in which the regiment lost 53 killed, 213 wounded, and 32 miss ing, a total of 298. Nearly all these casualties occurred at Gainesville, where the opposing lines faced each other at a distance of 75 paces; Colonel O Connor was killed there. The loss at Antietam was 19 killed and 67 wounded ; at Gettysburg, 26 killed, 155 wounded, and 52 missing ; Colonel Fairchild lost an arm at Gettysburg, Lieutenant-Colonel George H. Stevens was killed, and the casualties in the regiment amounted to 77 percent, of those present. The Second fought at the Wilderness and at Spotsylvania, after which it was detailed as a provost-guard, having become reduced to less than 100 men present for duty, with both field officers wounded and in the hands of the enemy. On June n, 1864, it was ordered home for muster-out, the recruits and ree n- listed men having been consolidated into a battalion of two companies, A and B, which were transferred in November to the Sixth Wisconsin. 394 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

The Third Wisconsin left the State on July 12, 1861, proceeding to Maryland, where for several months, it remained on duty in Frederick and along, or near, the Upper Potomac. While there, a forage party of three companies had a sharp fight with Ashby at Harper s Ferry, in which they held their ground against a superior force, but with a loss of 6 killed, and 8 wounded. In February, 1862, it moved with Banks s Corps up the Shen- andoah Valley, having been assigned to Williams s Division in which it remained without further transfer during the war. General George H. Gordon .commanded the brigade. At Cedar Mountain, the regiment lost 17 killed, 66 wounded, and 25 missing ; at Antietam, 27 killed and 173 wounded, out of 340 engaged ; at Chancellorsville, 1 8 killed, 74 wounded, and 9 missing.

NOTES. Arriving at Washington, July 26, 1861, it encamped on Meridian Hill, proceeding thence in Sep tember to Virginia, where it was attached to Hancock s Brigade. It took a prominent part in the " superb " action of Hancock s Brigade at Williamsburg, its casualties amounting to 8 killed, 70 wounded, and i missing. In February, 1863, the famous Light Division of the Sixth Corps, composed of picked regiments, was organized, General Calvin E. Pratt in command ; the Fifth was one of the regiments thus selected. In the successful storming of Marye s Heights, May 3, 1863, the regiment took a leading part in the assault made by the Light Division, earning a reputation for dash and bravery, and sustaining the heaviest loss of any regiment engaged in the assault; its casualties in that action were 35 killed, 122 wounded, and 36 missing; total, 193. In the bril liant affair at Rappahannock Station, the regiment joined the Sixth Maine in its celebrated charge on the enemy s intrenchments, sharing the honors of the victory. Major Horace W. Wheeler fell, mortally wounded, in this charge, the loss in the regiment amounting to 10 killed and 49 wounded. The Fifth was ordered home for mus ter-out July 12, 1864 ; the men with unexpired terms were consolidated into a battalion of three companies, to which seven new companies were added in October. 396 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

The regiment left Wisconsin July 28, 1861, proceeding to Washington, where it was assigned to the brigade which was destined to fill such a glorious place in the annals of the war. The Sixth had the advan tage of a year s drill and discipline before it was called upon to face the enemy in a general engagement, its first battle occurring at Manassas August 28th and 3Oth where it lost 1 7 killed, 91 wounded, and 1 1 missing. The regiment lost at South Mountain, 1 1 killed, 79 wounded, and 2 missing ; and at Antietam, three days after, 26 killed, and 126 wounded. Under command of Colonel Dawes, it won merited distinction at Gettysburg in the battle of the first day ; all histories of that field mention the manoeuvre and the part taken in it by the Sixth by which a part of a Confederate brigade was captured in the railroad cut. The casualties at Gettysburg were 30 killed, 116 wounded, and 22 missing. Upon the reorganization of the Army in March, 1864, Wadsworth s Division was transferred to the Fifth Corps, and with it the Iron Brigade under General Cutler. The regiment lost at the battle of the Wilderness, 8 killed, 40 wounded, and 15 missing ; at Spotsylvania, 10 killed, 68 wounded, and 5 missing; at Hatcher s Run (Dabney s Mills), 13 killed, 81 wounded, and 7 missing; at Gravelly Run, 5 killed, 34 wounded, and 32 missing.

NOTES. The Seventh Wisconsin was one of the three regiments which lost the most men killed in battle of any regiments in the Union Army. Its loss was not only numerically large, but the percentage of killed was also a remarkable one ; the percentage was even larger than shown here, because the enrollment includes 256 conscripts, very few of whom reported for duty. The regiment left Wisconsin on September 21, 1861, going to Virginia, where it joined the Iron Brigade at Camp Lyon. The principal losses of the regiment were: at Secoml Bull Run, 31 killed, 153 wounded, and 33 missing; at South Mountain, 11 killed, 116 wounded, and 20 missing; at Gettysburg, 21 killed, 105 wounded, and 52 missing; at the Wilderness, 27 killed, 155 wounded, and 35 missing; at Spotsylvania, 19 killed, 58 wounded, and 3 missing; and at Gravelly Run, 6 killed, 38 wounded, and 3 missing. The Iron Brigade was in the First Division of the First Corps; this division (Wadsworth s) was transferred in March, 1864, to the Fifth Corps, becoming the Fourth Division. In February, 1865, the Sixth and Seventh Wisconsin regiments were assigned to Kellogg s (ist) Brigade, Crawford s (31!) Division, Fifth Corps. In December, 1863, the Seventh numbered only 249 present for duty, all told, and in October. 1864, only 156 muskets were present at the fight on the Boydton Road. 398 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

After a few weeks of drill and discipline it left the State March 13, proceeding to St. Louis, and thence to Pitts- burg Landing, Tenn., where General Grant s Army was then encamped. It was assigned to Peabody s (ist) Brigade, Prentiss s (6th) Division, Army of the Tennessee, and was engaged soon after its arrival in the great battle of Shiloh. On the morning of that battle, April 6th, the pickets of the Sixteenth Wisconsin received the first fire of the enemy ; the regiment was hotly engaged soon after, its losses at Shiloh amounting to 40 killed, 188 wounded, and 26 missing; total, 254. At the battle of Corinth, the Sixth Division was commended by General McKean for its efficiency ; the regiment took an active and meritorious part in the fighting, losing there 7 killed, 28 wounded, and 10 missing. In November, 1862, the regiment was consolidated into a battalion of five companies, A, C, E, G and I. The year 1863 was spent in Louisiana and Mississippi, encamped at various points, on duty with the Seventeenth Corps. During the spring and summer of 1863 the regiment was stationed near Lake Providence, La., proceeding in August to Vicksburg, in which vicinity it was encamped until the spring of 1864. In March, 1864, four new companies joined the regiment ; the old battalion reiinlisted, and in Novem ber, 1864, another new company joined, making ten companies again. On June 8, 1864, the regiment joined Sherman s Army at Ackworth, Ga., the army being then engaged on the Atlanta campaign. The Sixteenth was then in the First Brigade (Force s), Third Division (Leggett s,) Seventeenth Corps. It was prominently engaged at Atlanta, July 22, losing 25 killed 83 wounded, and it missing. The regiment marched with Sherman to the Sea and through the Carolinas. THREE HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 390 TWENTY-SIXTH WISCONSIN INFANTRY.

A German regiment whose gallantry and soldierly bearing reflected credit upon its nationality. General William Cogswell, formerly Colonel of the Second Massachusetts, and hence an authority in such matters, in an official communication to the Secretary of War, alludes to the Twenty-sixth as " one of the finest military organizations m the service. The regiment left Wisconsin on the 6th of October, 1862, proceeding to Fairfax, Va., where it was assigned to Krzyzanowski s (2d) Brigade, Schurz s (3d) Division, Eleventh Corps. Its first battle was at Chancellorsville, where it made a creditable fight, although the corps was placed in an extremely disadvantageous position. The regiment held its ground there until nearly surrounded, gallantly, but vainly, trying to stem the victorious onslaught of Jackson s charge ; its casualties at Chancellorsville were 23 killed, 135 wounded, and 40 missing. It was closely engaged at Gettysburg, and when the corps retreated through the town, the Twenty-sixth was ordered to protect its rear. Its loss at Gettysburg was 26 killed, 1 29 wounded, and 62 missing; a heavy percentage of those engaged. In September, 1863, the corps was ordered to Tennessee, and in April, 1864, was merged into the Twentieth Corps, under General Hooker. The regiment thus became a part of the Third Brigade, Third Division (Ward s), Twentieth Corps. At the battle of Peach Tree Creek, Ga., it captured the colors of the Thirty-third Mississippi and several prisoners, its own loss amounting to 9 killed, and 36 wounded ; its conduct in that affair elicited the highest commendation in the official reports. After partici pating in the Atlanta campaign, the regiment marched with Sherman to the sea, and thence through the Carolinas to the Grand Review at Washington. 400 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

It was organized at Mad ison leaving Wisconsin on May loth ; Colonel Haskell was transferred from the Sixth Wisconsin, in which he was serving as an Adjutant. Immediately after arriving in Virginia the regiment joined the Army of the Poto mac, then at Spotsylvania, having been assigned to the First Brigade (Webb s), Second Division (Gibbon s), Second Corps. The regiment was under fire, for the first time, at Spotsylvania, May 19, 1864 ( Fredericksburg Pike), where it was held in reserve ; it was engaged a few days later at the North Anna, and also at Totopoto moy Creek ; on June ist, at Bethesda Church, four companies, B, E, F, and G, while on the skirmish line, made a dashing charge but with a heavy loss ; of 240 men engaged in this charge, 128 were killed, wounded or missing. Two days later the regiment was engaged in the storming of Cold Harbor, a desperate fight, in which it sustained a loss of 1 7 killed, 53 wounded, and 5 missing. The brigade commander, Colonel H. B. McKeen, of the I^ighty-first Pennsylvania, was killed in that assault, whereupon the command devolved upon Colonel Haskell, who fell dead a few minutes later. Colonel Savage succeeded to the command of the regiment, but fell mortally wounded in the assault on Petersburg, June 18, 1864. In that engagement the regiment lost 16 killed, and 107 wounded. It became so reduced by death, wounds, and disease, that it carried only n officers and 175 men into the fight at Ream s Station; it lost in that action 134 men taken prisoners.

NOTES. The Thirty-seventh was recruited in response to the call of February i, 1864, for 500,000 more men, and was organized at Madison under the superintendence of Colonel Harriman, who had served previously as a captain in the Thirtieth Wisconsin. Six companies left Wisconsin on the 28th of April, 1864, two more companies joining them at Washington about two weeks later. The eight companies left Washington on the 30th of May, proceeding by steamer to White House Landing, Va., where, on June xoth, they joined the army, then at Cold Harbor, near by. The regiment was assigned to the First Brigade (Hartranft s), Third Division (Willcox s), Ninth Corps. The Thirty-seventh was in action for the first time in the assaults on Petersburg, June i/th and i8th ; the regiment made a gallant charge on the enemy s works, but was obliged to retire with a heavy loss; its casualties amounted to 33 killed, 122 wounded, and 2 missing. While in the trenches before Petersburg, Company G joined the command. At the Mine Explosion, the regiment occupied a posi tion in the Crater, which it was forced to abandon after having sustained a severe loss in its efforts to hold it ; out of 250 who advanced to the assault, it lost 34 killed, 59 wounded, and 52 missing. It was transferred soon after to the First Brigade of the First Division, General Willcox commanding the division. It partici pated in all the succeeding battles of the Ninth Corps, and in the dangerous duty in the trenches during the long siege. Under command of Colonel Green it took a prominent and honorable part in the successful assault of April 2, 1865, which resulted in the capture of Petersburg. In that assault, three companies of the Thirty- seventh were the first troops to effect an entrance in Fort Mahone, a stronghold located in front of the Ninth Corps. After Lee s surrender the regiment returned to Washington, where it marched in the Grand Review, and then encamped until July 26, 1865, when it was mustered out. 26 402 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. The greatest regimental loss in any battle, in proportion to the number engaged, occurred in the ranks of the First Minnesota, at Gettysburg. In that battle, on the afternoon of the second day, the Confeder ates had broken through Sickles s ranks, and were about seizing an important position within the Union lines. The only body of troops at hand was the First Minnesota. Hancock, desiring to impede the enemy s advance until reinforcements could be brought up, ordered Colville to charge the advancing Confederate brigade with his regiment. Alone and unsupported it attacked them, drove them back, and captured their colors. But It was ac complished at a terrible cost ; of the eight companies engaged 262 all told 215 were killed and wounded. It is the largest percentage of loss recorded in the annals of modern warfare. It was in action again on the follow ing day, its casualties at Gettysburg aggregating 5 i killed, and 173 wounded; total, 224. This regiment was organized April 29, 1861, and was the first in the Union Army to be mustered in for three years. It fought at First Bull Run then in Franklin s Brigade, Heintzelman s Division. Its casualties on that field were 42 killed, 1 08 wounded, and 30 missing, the largest loss sustained by any regiment there. It was assigned, soon after, to the First Brigade, Second Division, Second Corps, in which it remained during its service. THREW HUNDRED FIGHTING REGIMENTS. 403 SECOND IOWA INFANTRY.

NOTES. Organized at Keokuk, Iowa, in June, 1861. It served in Missouri for several months, during which time the regiment had a sharp fight at Blue Mills with a superior force under the Confederate General Atchison. The Third was alone in this fight, and behaved with great gallantry, capturing a piece of artillery. In the spring of 1862, it joined Grant s Army in the advance up the Tennessee River, and was engaged at Shiloh. It was then in Williams s Brigade, of Hurlbut s Division, the brigade sustaining the heaviest loss of any brigade in that battle ; the loss of the regiment was 23 killed, 134 wounded, and 30 missing. Under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Trumbull, it fought at Metamora, or Hatchie Bridge, where it lost 2 killed, and 60 wounded, out of about 300 present ; the brigade was then under command of General Lauman.

The regiment joined Pope s army, in March, 1862, and was engaged in the operations about New Madrid and Island Number Ten. It moved thence to Corinth, where it took an active part in the siege. The gallantry of the Eleventh at luka, elicited special mention from General Rosecrans in G. O. No. 130, in which he calls attention " to the magnificent fighting of the Eleventh Missouri, under the gallant Mower." The regiment was also hon orably mentioned in the official report of Corinth. The Eleventh led the charge of Mower s Brigade in the grand assault on Vicksburg, May 22, 1863. In that desperate struggle it was the only entire regiment of the Fifteenth Corps that reached the fort, and the only regiment in that corps that planted its colors on the parapet.

On May i, 1864, it moved with Sherman s Army in the advance on Atlanta. It was then in Wangelin s (3d) Brigade, Osterhaus s (ist) Division, Fifteenth Corps ; this division was subsequently commanded by General Charles R. Woods. The Twelfth fought its last battle at Ezra Chapel, Ga., on July 28, 1864 , its ti me having expired it was shortly afterwards ordered home for muster-out. Of the officers belonging to the regiment, ten were killed, one lost both eyes, one lost a leg and arm, one lost one arm, and two lost one leg each ; one died of disease, and one was drowned.

After serving in Missouri and Arkansas during the rest of the year, it marched, in the spring of 1862, with Curtis s Army of the South-west on the campaign which culminated in the victory at Pea Ridge, Ark. The regiment was then in Asboth s (2d) Division, but as it was in reserve at that battle it sustained but slight loss. In June, 1862, it moved with Asboth s command to Corinth, Miss. It was there transferred to Buell s Army of the Ohio, with which it marched on the Kentucky campaign, and was engaged at the battle of Chaplin Hills, Ky., it being then in Sheridan s Division. Three months later it fought at Stone s River, where Colonel Schaeffer, the brigade commander, was killed while leading the regiment. Colonel Joliat, who had resigned in November, 1862, was succeeded by Colonel Conrad, formerly Major of the Third Missouri. The regiment suffered its severest loss at Chickamauga, its casualties on that field being unusually large in proportion to the very small number engaged; it was then in Laiboldt s (2d) Brigade, Sheridan s Division, McCook s Corps. Upon the reorganization of the Army of the Cumberland, in October, 1863, the regiment was placed in Steedman s (ist) Brigade, Sheridan s (2d) Division, Fourth Corps, remaining in that corps during the rest of its sen-ice. Reenlisting in January, 1864, it was furloughed for thirty days, and upon its return joined Sherman s Army as it was starting on its Atlanta campaign. After the fall of Atlanta, the corps fought at Franklin and Nashville, proceeding thence to Texas, where the regiment was mustered out in December, 1865. REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Its division Hamilton s then moved to Corinth, where it joined the besieging army, arriving there April 22, 1862. Although the regiment was under fire at New Madrid, and also during the Siege of Corinth, yet it sustained little or no loss. But at luka it was hotly engaged, its skirmishers opening that battle ; the whole regiment was soon under a severe fire, in which Colonel Boomer was seriously wounded. Two weeks later, under Lieutenant-Colonel Holman, it was engaged at the battle of Corinth; it was then in Buford s (ist) Brigade, Hamilton s (3d) Division, Army of the Mississippi. During the Vicksburg campaign it was in Boomer s (3d) Brigade, Crocker s Division, Seventeenth Corps. At Champion s Hill the regiment encountered some more hard fighting and heavy losses, Major Charles F. Brown being among the killed. Colonel Boomer was killed in the assault on Vicksburg May 22d while in command of the brigade. In October, 1863, the division under command of General John E. Smith now the Third Division, Fifteenth Corps left Memphis, and moved to Chattanooga, where it fought in the battle of Missionary Ridge. This division did not move with Sherman on the Atlanta campaign, but garrisoned Allatoona, Ga., Kingston, Ga., and other points on that line. The regiment was mustered out in November, 1864, the recruits having been consolidated into a battalion of three companies, which marched with Sherman to the Sea, and through the Carolinas.

NOTKS. Organized at Leavenworth in May, 1861, and in June, was ordered into Missouri where it joined General Lyon s forces. It fought at Wilson s Creek, August 10, 1861, a desperate battle in which General Lyon was killed, and in which the regiment suffered an unusual loss, its casualties amounting to 77 killed, 187 wounded, and 20 missing ; a total of 284, out of 644 engaged ; four line officers were killed, and Colonel Deitzler was severely wounded. General Sturgis, after having passed through many of the bloodiest battles of the war, once remarked that " for downright, hard, persistent fighting, Wilson s Creek beat them all." After this battle the regiment was stationed in Missouri until May, 1862, when it was ordered to Corinth. The summer of 1862 was spent in opening and guarding the Mobile & Ohio R. R. In January, 1863, it moved to Young s Point, opposite Vicks burg, where the regiment was mounted by order of General Grant. It served as mounted infantry during the ensuing eighteen months, including the siege of Vicksburg, after which it joined the expedition to Natchez. During this time it was engaged, almost continuously, on scouting and outpost duty. In October, 1863, it re turned to Vicksburg, and was stationed at Black River Bridge, twelve miles south of the city, where it went into winter quarters. The spring of 1864 was also passed in the vicinity of Vicksburg. On June i, 1864, the regi ment, excepting two companies of rei ; nlisted men and recruits, embarked on transports for home, its term of service having expired. While passing Columbia, Ark., the steamer was fired on by an eight-gun battery, killing two of the men. The two companies remaining in the field were continued in service until August 30, 1865, when they were mustered out. 27 418 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. The unique regiment of the war. Berdan s Sharpshooters were United States troops, in which respect they were different from other volunteer regiments ; each company, however, was furnished entire by some one State. In 1 86 1, General Berdan received authority from the War Department to organize a regiment of skilled marksmen from companies to be recruited in various States, and in March, 1862, it was ordered to the Peninsula, where it was attached to the Fifth Corps. The men took an active part in the Siege of Yorktown, their target rifles and deadly aim rendering the enemy s batteries nearly useless. While there, the men were supplied with Sharp s rifles of an improved pattern and excellent finish, manufactured expressly for their use. In 1863 the regiment was transferred to the Third Corps, and thence, in 1864, to the Second. It distinguished itself at Chancellorsville, where its skirmishers captured the Twenty-third Georgia ; its loss in that battle was 1 1 killed, 5 i wounded, and 6 missing. At Gettysburg, Colonel Berdan with a detachment of his men, supported by the Third Maine, made the important and memorable reconnoissance on the morning of July zd, which developed the movements of the enemy, but with a severe loss to the small number engaged. The regiment was also hotly engaged at Mine Run, where Lieutenant-Colonel Caspar Trepp, then in command, was killed. THKKK Hi M>KI D FKJHTIV; UKIMMKNTS. SECOND UNITED STATES SHARPSHOOTERS.

NOTES. Berdan s United States Sharpshooters were the best known of any regiments in the Army. It would have been difficult to have raised in any one State a regiment equal to Berdan s requirements. No recruit was eligible that could not make ten consecutive shots, whose aggregate distance from the center of the target would " string " less than fifty inches, an average of less than five inches for each shot ; the distance was 600 feet at a rest ; or 300 feet offhand. Many of the men could, at that distance, put all the ten shots inside the bull s-eye. The class of men selected were also of a high grade in physical qualifications and intelligence. The regiment was organized in 1861, and in March, 1862, commenced active service, then in McDowell s Corps. At Antietam, in Phelps s Brigade, Doubleday s Division it lost 13 killed, 51 wounded, and 2 missing. It fought there in line of battle, infantry formation. Both of Berdan s regiments, however, were generally employed as skirmishers, and, consequently, never suffered the heavy losses incidental to heavy columns. They were continually in demand as skirmishers on account of their wonderful proficiency as such, and they undoubtedly killed more men than any other regiment in the Army. In skirmishing they had no equal. The " Second " served successively in the First, Third, and Second Corps ; most of the time in Birney s Division, and in company with the First Regiment United States Sharpshooters. At the Wilderness the regiment lost 16 killed, 49 wounded, and n missing ; at Spotsylvania, 1 2 killed, 38 wounded, and 3 missing. 420 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

NOTES. - - The Eighteenth sustained the heaviest loss in action of any regiment in the Regular Army ; it was, also, the largest regiment. In his proclamation of May 3d, 1861, President Lincoln directed an increase of the Regular Army, and the Eighteenth Infantry was one of the three- battalion regiments created under this act. Headquarters were located at Columbus, Ohio, the recruits coming principally from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Illinois. The organization was to have contained three battalions of eight companies each, but the Third Battalion was never fully organized, and its companies were attached to the other battalions. In December, 1861, twelve companies took the field, four more companies joining this detachment in March, 1862 ; eight more com panies joined during the year. At the battle of Stone s River, where the regiment encountered its hardest fighting, the First Battalion, with two companies of the Third, was commanded by Major J. N. Caldwell ; the Second Battalion, with four companies of the Third, by Major Frederick Townsend. The Regular Brigade was then under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel O. L. Shepherd, Eighteenth United States Infantry, and was in Rousseau s ( i st) Division, Fourteenth Corps. The Eighteenth took 603 officers and men into the fight at Stone s River, 48 per cent, of whom were killed or wounded. The First Division was commanded, at Chickamauga, by General Baird, and, on the Atlanta campaign, by General Johnson; the Regular Brigade (ad Brigade, ist Div n, i4th A. C. ) was under command of General John H. King. After the Atlanta campaign, in October 1864, the regiment was consolidated into one battalion, and was withdrawn from active service in the field.

NOTES. Organized at Philadelphia, recruiting having commenced in September, 1863. The field officers had seen service in other regiments, Colonel Fribley having served as a Captain in the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania. The Eighth left Philadelphia, January 16, 1864, proceeding to New York, where it embarked for Hilton Head, S. C. After a short stay of two weeks, it sailed with Seymour s Division for Florida, where it was engaged, soon after, at the battle of Olustee ; it had been assigned, shortly before this action, 10 Hawley s Brigade. The fighting at Olustee resulted in a serious defeat to Seymour s forces, and the Eighth, after facing the enemy s musketry for over half an hour, retired slowly and in good order, its casualties amounting to 50 killed, 187 wounded, and 73 missing ; the latter were all killed or wounded men. Colonel Fribley was killed in this battle. The regiment remained in Florida until August, when it accompanied General William Birney s Brigade to Virginia, where it joined the Army of the James. At Chaffin s Farm the regiment, under Major Wagner, dis tinguished itself by its gallantry and efficiency, losing there, 8 killed, and 60 wounded, out of abcut 200 in action. In the affair on the Darbytown Road then in Doubleday s (ad) Brigade, Birney s (3d) Division, Tenth Corps - it took only 150 men into the fight, losing 4 killed, 31 wounded, and 5 missing. Upon the organization of the Twenty-fifth Corps in December, 1864, a corps composed wholly of colored troops, the regiment was placed in the Second Brigade, Second Division (General William Birney s). Of the 166 colored regiments in the Union Armies the Eighth U. S. stands third in point of loss in action. It saw considerable active service in the field during the campaign of 1864-65, and was known as an efficient and reliable regiment. After Lee s surrender, the Eighth was ordered to Texas, where it encamped on the Rio Grande, at Ringgold Barracks, until October, 1865, when it returned to Philadelphia for muster-out. 422 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Organized originally as the First Kansas Colored Volunteers, its designation being changed to the Seventy-ninth United States Colored Infantry, December 13, 1864. Recruiting commenced in August, 1862, and within sixty days 500 men were enlisted and placed in camp, although not without the usual difficulty and oppo sition arising from the prejudice against colored troops. On the 28th of October, 1862, a detachment of recruits numbering about 225 men, under Captain H. C. Seaman, encamped near Butler, Mo. (Island Mounds), where it was attacked by a superior force under Colonel Cockrell ; the enemy were repulsed and driven off, Seaman s detachment losing 10 killed and 12 wounded, Captain A. J. Crew being among the killed. This affair is note worthy as the first fight in the war in which colored troops were engaged. A regimental organization was not effected until January, 1863, when six companies were mustered in; the other four companies were organized by May, 1863. At Poison Springs, Ark., April, 1864, the regiment while on a forage expedition in company with the Eighteenth Iowa, one section of artillery, and a small detachment of cavalry, was attacked by a large force under Generals Marcy and Fagan. The Union troops were completely surrounded, but cut their way out, the regiment losing 189 killed and wounded, besides the missing. Colonel Williams was in command of the party. In the affair at Flat Rock, only one company (K), numbering 42 men, was engaged; it was surprised and attacked by General Gano, the company being nearly annihilated. In May, 1864, Colonel Williams was placed in command of the Second Brigade, Frontier Division, Seventh Corps, the regiment being included in that brig ade. Mustered out October i, 1865.

It charged under fire over a long distance of sandy plain, reaching the ditch, where many of the men climbed the parapet and entered the outer works ; but the fort proved impregnable, and a bloody repulse ensued, the regiment losing 34 killed, 146 wounded, and 92 captured or missing. The Fifty- fourth was organized in April, 1863, at Readville, Mass., and was one of the first colored regiments organized in the Northern States. The men came from the free colored citizens of New England and the Middle States, while many came from far Western States to embrace this, their first opportunity to enlist. Governor Andrews tendered the Colonelcy to Captain Robert G. Shaw, of the Second Massachusetts Infantry, who accepted. Shaw was killed at Fort Wagner ; he was the first man on the parapet, where he fell, shot through the heart. At Oiustee, the regiment lost n killed, 68 wounded and 8 missing; at Honey Hill, 3 killed, 38 wounded, and 4 missing ; at Boykin s Mill, 2 killed, and 20 wounded. After the close of the war it remained in South Carolina, on garrison duty, until August 20, 1865, when it was mustered out. and ordered to Boston, where the men received their final payment and discharge. Shortly after Oiustee, the Sergeant-Major (colored), was commissioned a lieutenant by Governor Andrews, for gallantry in that battle ; but for a long time the United States Government refused to muster him in, on account of his color. Admittance to the Invalid Corps was also refused a private who was disabled at Fort Wagner. Full pay was also refused these men for sixteen months. On seven successive pay-days they were tendered $7 per month ; but each time it was refused and a white soldier s pay demanded. On September 28, 1864, the men were paid in full from the date of enlistment, at 13 per month. CHAPTER XL LIST OF BATTLES, WITH THE REGIMENTS SUSTAINING THE GREATEST LOSSES IN EACH. TT is intended in this chapter to give a list of the battles and minor engagements of the war in their chronological order ; and, with each battle or engagement, a statement of the regiments which sustained the greatest loss in that particular action. The figures thus given have been compiled from the Official Records of the Rebellion, either already published or in process of publication, by the War Department at Washington. The statement of the loss in each case is based on the nominal lists made out by the regimental commandants at the close of the action, and which are still preserved on file at the War Department. These nominal lists have, in many instances, been revised and corrected in accordance with subse quent information. Where it has been ascertained that captured or missing men have been killed or wounded ; or that men reported as killed were among the captured, and were still alive ; or that men reported as missing were stragglers, who reported for duty soon after, these lists and their totals have been amended accordingly. These lists are made out in " Killed, Wounded, and Missing," and show the casualties as reported at the close of the action. Consequently, the mortally wounded are included with the wounded. This fact must be borne in mind, as it will be needed, at times, in accounting for a seeming discrepancy, -cases where a regimental historian, or others, places the number of killed at a higher figure, they having included with the killed those who died of wounds. Among the missing there must have been many wounded men, and many who were killed. The captured men are also included under this head, and, in many cases, the missing ones were all, or nearly all, prisoners. Then there are cases in which the missing were, for the most part, killed or wounded, the nominal lists not having been amended accordingly. The nature or history of the battle will, generally, throw some light on the fate of the missing. From Fredericksburg and Cold Harbor but few of the missing ones ever returned ; they fell close to the enemy s works, and in the repulse, or swift retreat, were left to be buried by the enemy. But, in actions like Ream s Station or Poplar Spring Church, the his tory of the fight tells of flanking movements with large captures of prisoners from certain divisions, and the student justly infers that the missing were captured men, as an examina tion of the muster-out-rolls will show. In the following lists of greatest losses in particular actions, the regiment named first, although having the largest number of casualties, did not always sustain the greatest loss of life. The number actually killed, as increased by the death from wounds, will be found in the regimental sketch, if one of the " Three Hundred Fighting Regiments ; " or, if the number of those killed and died of wounds exceed fifty, it will appear in the table given on pages 17-22. It will be found interesting to note these differences between the number of "killed or died of wounds," and the number of "killed" as stated in the casualty lists of "killed, wounded, and missing." The comparison will, in many cases, account for the missing ; as, many who were borne on the nominal lists as missing were subsequently recorded on the muster-out-rolls as killed in that particular action. (424) GKEATKHT LOSSES IN BATTLES. 425 A remarkable feature of these casualty lists is the wide variation at times from the usual proportionate number of killed to wounded. This is due, quite often, to delay in making out the nominal list after the battle. If the first sergeants hand in their company list of casualties promptly to the adjutant or colonel at the close of the action, tluMv will, evidently, be less men reported as killed than if there is a delay of several days. In the latter case, many will have died of their wounds and thus be included with the killed, instead of with the wounded. As a large proi>ortion of the mortally wounded die within a few days after the battle, the ratio of the number of killed to the wounded would be changed considerably by delay in the reports. In some actions and in some campaigns it was difficult to make prompt reports of casualties. In some actions a division would be under arms for several days, momentarily exacting an attack. The nature of the fighting also affected the ratio of the killed and wounded. In a hot fight at close quarters, or in an assault, the proportion of killed is naturally large ; at long range, or in the second line, or while engaged in "supporting battery," the proportion of killed is less than the common ratio. But casualty lists will fail to give an intelligent idea of the extent of the loss unless the number, or probable number, of men engaged is kept in mind. The average American regi ment of infantry in the last war, while in active service, numbered about 4<o muskets ; and, unless the number taken into action is definitely known, it will be safe to assume, in examin ing the casualties, that the number engaged was not far from that amount. Newly organized regiments, fresh from their rendezvous, often took from 700 to 800 men into a battle ; but, if their first battle did not occur until after several months of campaigning, they would take only about 500 men into action. Then, there were regiments which became so depleted by battles, marches, campaigns, and disease, that they often went into battle with less than 200 effectives. Some of these depleted commands were restored to an effective strength by accessions of recruits ; or, by transfers of men from regiments returning home, these trans ferred men having unexpired terms of enlistment. Even then, the regiment, thus recruited, would seldom number over 400 effectives. From personal observations at the time, and subsequent studies of official returns, an effective strength of 400 appears to have been the most common. In many of the instances specified in the subjoined table of greatest casualties, the number actually engaged will be found in the list of maximum percentages, pages 28-34:. The heavy artillery regiments have in some instances here been classed by themselves, their larger organizations requiring, in a fair statement of losses, that their casualties be kept separate from those of the small and depleted infantry commands. These heavy artillery regiments were not called upon to take the field until the spring of 1804, their first experience under fire occurring at Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor, in which actions each of these regi ments had nearly 1,800 men engaged. But the bloody vicissitudes of Grant s campaign soon reduced these splendid commands to nothing but skeletons of their former selves. The casualties in the cavalry are also given separately in these lists. Their losses occurred mostly in cavalry battles, cavalry fighting cavalry, with no infantry near. In many cases the losses are not large enough to warrant classing them with the heavier losses of the infantry, and, so, they are given separately. The cavalry losses in particular actions are not so remark able as those of the infantry ; but, the mounted regiments were in action so much oftener, that the aggregate of casualties in one of their campaigns, or raids, would equal those of an average infantry regiment. The style of fighting which prevailed in the cavalry service during the Civil War was new and peculiar. The wooded countries in which they operated prevented any charges by large bodies of mounted troops. The cavalry used their sabres but little ; they fought dismounted, 426 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. using their carbines only. Their horses were available for rapid movements or marches, but, in fighting, they relied on their carbines and dismounted tactics. Some of the regiments which were recruited for the cavalry service in 1863, experienced a long delay in receiving their horses from the Government, during which they were assigned to infantry divisions, where they fought and manoeuvred as infantry. The maximum casualties of the Light Artillery, in particular engagements, will also be found appended to the following lists. Eight here, however, it may be well to caution the reader against any assumption that the regiments most prominent in these casualty lists were, necessarily, the ones which ren dered the most efficient service. At times some commands, by an exercise of dash and daring, accomplished brilliant results with but slight loss, while others, under similar circumstances, succeeded only at a bloody cost. Among the leading regiments in point of loss at Gettysburg, as given here, the Twelfth Corps is scarcely represented ; and, yet, the services rendered on that field by that command were unsurpassed in gallantry and important results. The remarkable losses sustained by Johnson s (Confederate) Division and the three brigades attached to his command, were inflicted by regiments which have no place in the list of those prominent at Gettysburg, by reason of their casualties. Granted, that Greene s Brigade delivered that deadly fire from behind breastworks ; but, when Williams s and Geary s Divisions returned from Round Top, and found that during their absence their works had been occupied by the enemy, they became the assaulting party ; they drove the enemy out of the works, re-took the position, and saved the right. That, in accomplishing this, they could inflict so severe a loss and sustain so slight a one, is as good evidence of their gallantry and efficiency as any sensational aggregate of casualties.

Although the fighting may be considered as having ended at Fort Blakely and Appoma- tox, still, some minor affairs occurred afterwards. Upton s Division of Cavalry, while on the Wilson Raid, had a sharp fight at Columbus, Ga.. on the 16th of April, 1865, and other divisions in Wilson s Corps were engaged at West Point, Ga. , on the same date ; also at Macon, Ga. , on the 20th of April ; and at Talladega, Ala. , on the 22d. In South Carolina, a provisional division under command of General E. E. Potter was engaged, with some loss of life, on the 18th of April, 1865, at Boy kin s Mills. Some fighting also occurred at Palmetto Ranch, Texas, on May 13th, 1865. But the war ended, substantially, at Appomattox, April 9, 1865. Fort Blakely, Ala., fell the same day, carried by a bloody assault. The war commenced on the 19th of April, 1861, and was officially declared as ended, August 20, 1866. CASUALTIES IN LIGHT ARTILLERY.. The following list of remarkable casualties in the light artillery is given in a separate class, as the small number of men in a light battery would not give their losses a proper place among those of the larger organizations. These artillery losses, though they may appear slight numerically, were really severe, and represent large percentages. Scarcely any of these batteries took 100 men into action; many of them did not take 75 men into battle. The Eleventh Ohio Battery, in which the most remarkable loss occurred, took "about 105 men 1 into action at Iuka," x ~ of whom 54 were gunners, or helped serve the guns; most of the others were drivers. Of the 54 men at the guns, 46 were killed or wounded at luka. General Rosecrans says, in his official report of this affair, that " Sands s Eleventh Ohio Battery, under command of Lieutenant Sears, behaved nobly. The fearful losses sus tained by this battery show their unyielding obstinacy." Also, that it "was served with unequalled bravery under circumstances of danger and exposure such as rarely, perhaps never, has fallen to the lot of one single battery during the war." The Chief of Artillery also men tions this battery in his official report, and says, one officer and sixteen men were kiUed at their pieces, several of them being bayonetted by the enemy. I cannot speak in too high terms of the bravery of the officers and the men in this battery." The brigade commander states that "the battery fired with great rapidity and with extraordinary accuracy of aim, which threw the enemy into confusion." This battery was in the possession of the enemy at one time during the fight, but it was soon recaptured. Three of the guns had been spiked - done by their own gunners, some of whom were killed in the act and the wheels and caissons were badly splintered by bullets. The charge on the battery was made by two Texan regiments. The battery fired 116 rounds, mostly canister, and some of it in double charges. Bigelow s Battery (9th Massachusetts) took 104 officers and men into its famous fight at Gettysburg. But, 80 men seem to have been a common strength of the six-gun batteries, when in action. The attachment of the men to their pieces developed a bravery which was heroic in the extreme ; they often accepted death rather than surrender their guns. When Loomis s famous Michigan Battery was captured at Chickamauga, Lieutenant Van Pelt, its commander, disdaining to retreat stood by the muzzle of a cannon shouting to the enemy to keep their hands off the guns, and was killed at his post. *Lieutenant Cyrus Sears, in National Tribuue. < IRK \Tl-ST LnssKS IN I . \TT1 I s 403 Captain Easton fell beside a gun at Gaines s Mill, shouting, " No ! we never surrender," in reply to the demand of the victors to give up his battery.* At Gettysburg, young Gushing shouts to his general that he will give them "one shot more," and falls dead as Pickett s men surge up to the muzzles of his pieces. Of the noted batteries mentioned in the accompanying list of casualties, Kern, Woodruff, Burnham, Hazzard, DeHart, Dimmick, Rorty, Hazlitt, Leppien, McGilvery, Geary (of Knap s), Simonson, Erickson and Whitaker (of Bigelow s)--were killed in action. When closely pressed by a charge of the enemy, the gunners, though unarmed, would often defend their pieces with rammers and handspikes used as clubs. In the charge of the Louisiana Tigers on Ricketts s Pennsylvania Battery, at Cemetery Hill, Gettysburg, one of the assailants fell dead in the battery, killed by a stone which was bin-led at him. Some of the light batteries sustained a remarkable loss in horses, killed in battle. Bigelow lost, at Gettysburg, 50 horses killed and 15 wounded, according to the official report of Lieutenant Milton, who brought the battery off the field. f Lieutenant Sears states in a newspaper article that the Eleventh Ohio Battery lost, at luka, "42 horses killed upon the field, and (a coincidence 42 so disabled from wounds that they had to be turned over, unfit for service." Lieutenant Snow, First Maine Battery, in his official report for Cedar Creek, states that he "lost 40 horses killed in harness." The maximum losses of horses killed in any one action seems to have been reached in these instances ;^ at least, a careful examination of official reports fails to show any greater. The following list of remarkable losses in the light artillery, during the last war, embraces every instance in which a battery lost twenty or more killed and wounded, in any one action, the mortally wounded being included with the wounded.

CHAPTER XII. LIST OF REGIMENTS AND BATTERIES IN THE UNION ARMIES WITH MOR TUARY LOSSES OF EACH THE NUMBER KILLED AND NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM DISEASE OR OTHER CAUSES. A NOTHER interesting chapter in this story of loyalty may he found in the statistics ** showing the total numherof deaths in each organization from the Northern States that served in the War for the Union. The deaths incurred in battle are tabulated here separately from those induced by other causes, and the loss in officers is also given by itself. These figures are based on the records of the muster-out rolls on file in the Military Bureaus of the various States, and have been revised by a careful comparison with the records of the War Department at Washington. They have also been tested by the casualty lists of the various battles, as published in the Official Records of the Rebellion, or. awaiting publication. The figures are believed to be correct ; and, beyond the possible change of an unit or so. will admit of no variation. In footing up the regimental losses of any State, a seeming discrepancy may arise between the total result and the figures of the War Department which are given elsewhere in these pages. This difference in the total losses of a State may be due to the following reasons: some soldiers who were borne on the muster-out rolls as "wounded and missing in action" are included in these regimental tables with the killed; while in the official statistics of the War Department none are counted as killed unless definite information through offi cial sources has been received to that effect. For this reason the total of killed in any State, as tabulated here by regiments, may exceed somewhat the figures of the War Department. On the other hand, the footings of the regimental losses from disease and other causes may, in some States, fall somewhat below the figures of the Adjutant General s office at Washington. This difference is due largely to deaths among the " unassigned recruits," who are omitted in these regimental tables. These unassigned recruits were seldom borne on the regimental rolls ; they never reported to the regiments for duty ; and most of the deaths among them occurred at the North while in recruiting barracks or camps of instruction. Hence, the deaths in this class are not considered in connection with the matter of regimental losses, although they enter properly into the State totals. Some minor organizations, in which deaths from disease occurred, are also omitted , companies or small battalions which never left their State, or were organized in 1805, at the close of the war. For these reasons the State totals are not given, except in the official table issued by the Adjutant -General of the War Department at Washington, and which is reprinted elsewhere in these pages for that purpose. With each regiment is given the division and corps in which it served. In some cases a regiment served in different divisions, and, sometimes, in more than one corps ; but the division and corps designated here are not intended to cover the history of a regiment, but rather to suggest something which will assist the reader in identifying the battalion and the 30 (465) 400 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. campaigns in which it served. Without this mention of some one division or corps, the figures would, too often, remain meaningless and useless. In designating the division, the name of its general is used in preference to its numer ical title. The soldiers were wont to so designate their commands, while historians invari ably allude to a division by its commander s name. As many of the divisions served under different generals, and were known successively by these commanders names, it becomes difficult at times to select the name which might most properly designate the command. In some cases the doubt was decided by using the name of the general under whom the regi ment served longest. Still, to do all this accurately would necessitate a knowledge of the corps histories which few, if any, possess. It is hoped, however, that the name of the division will in each case assist in some degree to identify the regiment, to recall its history, and to throw some light upon the nature of its losses, even though the name selected may not be the one best adapted to the purpose. In giving the date of organization, the day of the month has been omitted, as in many commands the companies were mustered in at various dates ; and, in each case, a large part of the men had enlisted and were in barracks a considerable time before the regiment effected its complete organization and muster-in as a regiment. In some regiments there were men who had enlisted several weeks, often months, before their regiment was organized. On the other hand, some of the regiments raised under the second call (1862) organized and left for the front within thirty days after the first man signed the roll. The total enrollments are omitted for lack of space ; but the number enrolled in three hundred of these regiments, the leading ones in point of loss, will be found in the various pages of Chapter X. The other regiments numbered about one thousand men each when organized, and received, on an average, 300 recruits. Some of them took the field with only 800 men or thereabouts, and received but few recruits, while some others carried 1,800 on their rolls. Where the number enrolled is not otherwise stated, the average infantry regiment may be considered as numbering 1,300, original members and recruits. The cavalry regiments carried 1,800 men on their rolls as an average, and the heavy artillery commands about 2,200. In the light batteries (six-gun batteries), 250 was a common enrollment. By noting these facts the regimental losses in killed will be better understood, and an approximate idea of the percentage of loss will be obtained. These figures are far above the plane of ordinary statistics. They represent the measure of blood which an unflinching patriotism gave in exchange for the perpetuity of the Nation and the ransom of the Republic. NOTE. Many of the regiments marked in the following tables as having " reenlisted and served through the war," preserved their organization by reason of a large number of recruits (who had unexpired terms to serve), rather than by the number of veterans who reen listed. Some of the three-years regiments whose term expired in 1864, and were discharged and discontinued, contained in their ranks more reenlisted veterans than some commands which served through the war.

The First Cavalry sustained the greatest loss in battle of any cavalry regiment in the army ; and the First Heavy Artillery the greatest loss of any regimental organization in any arm of the service.

The remaining regiments went out in response to the different calls for three-years men. The greatest mortality from disease in any regiment from the State occurred in the i5th regiment, and was undoubtedly due to the climate of the Gulf and Lower Mississippi, in which locality the regiment was stationed during much of its service. It was mustered out at Charleston, S. C., July 5, 1866, having served the longest of any regiment from the State. New Hampshire - -The 5th sustained the greatest loss in battle of any infantry regiment in the war. The ist Infantry was a three-months regiment, which was organized April 26, 1861, and left the State May 25. It served under General Patterson in the Shenandoah, and was mustered out on the 9th of August. The i5th and 1 6th Infantry enlisted for nine months ; the other regiments enlisted for three years.

The i 7th regiment failed to effect an organization, and the two companies which were recruited for it were transferred to the 2d regiment. The large number of deaths from disease in the Sth Infantry was due to the fatal climate of the Gulf States in which it served. Its loss in battle occurred entirely in the battles of the Lower Mississippi and Red River campaigns. The deaths from disease in the i6th Infantry occurred while in the Department of the Gulf, and within nine months, the regiment having enlisted for that term. The entire loss in action of the i4th Infantry occurred in the Shenandoah Valley, in the two battles of the Opequon and Cedar Creek, 59 falling, killed or mortally wounded, at the Opequon. Vermont. The per centage of killed in the quota furnished by Vermont is far alxjve the average, and is exceeded by only one other state. Its large per centage is easily understood by a glance at the battle losses of its regiments.

In addition to the organizations in the above tabulation, the State accepted, in 1864, some separate unattached companies, 24 in number, which were sworn in for one hundred days service. Some of these companies reenlisted for one year, and were organized as the 4th Heavy Artillery. The 2(1 Heavy Artillery lost two companies at the capture of Plymouth, N. C. ; they numbered about 275 men, of whom 173 died while in the hands of the enemy. The deaths in the 39th include 102 which occurred in Confederate prisons, this regiment having lost 246 men captured in the battle at the Weldon Railroad. The loss by disease in the 30th Infantry was caused by the climate of the Lower Mississippi, where it was stationed for over two years. The 5th Battery Phillips s sustained the greatest percentage of loss (in battle) of any light battery in the volunteer service. The 1 3th Massachusetts has a meritorious record in its small number of deaths from disease, its percentage of deaths from that cause being the smallest of any three-years regiment in the entire army. There were regiments with a smaller number of deaths from disease ; but they were two-years regiments, or carried a less number of names on their rolls. The extraordinary exemption from disease in the i3th Infantry would indicate that the regiment was composed of superior material. 472 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

The light batteries of this command were remarkable for their efficiency, and the con spicuous part assigned them in all the battles of the Army of the Potomac. As a whole they were unsurpassed, and they made a record which reflected credit on their State. A comparison of their losses in action with those of other batteries tells plainly the story of the dangers which they braved. The ist Infantry was a three-months regiment which was actively engaged at First Bull Run. The 6th and 8th Infantry failed to com plete their organizations. The ist Cavalry contained a battalion of four companies from New Hampshire, which was detached January 7, 1864, and placed in the ist New Hampshire Cavalry. The 2d Rhode Island Cavalry was organized with eight companies only, and in July, 1863, they were consolidated into a battalion of four com panies, and transferred to the ist Louisiana (Union) Cavalry. The men objected to this transfer, and would not leave camp for their new quarters until surrounded by the Louisiana Cavalry, and forced to go. Two men who were conspicuously reluctant were led out by their new comrades and shot in front of the regiment, without a trial.

The ist Heavy Artillery is noteworthy as having served in the field through the war, and in the arm of service to which it belonged. Very few of the other heavy artillery regiments in the army saw any service aside from garrison-duty, except while acting as infantry. The ist Connecticut Heavy Artillery was or ganized as the 4th Infantry, but was changed in January, 1 862, to heavy artillery. It served as heavy artillery at the Siege of Yorktown, in 1862, and was prominently engaged during the Siege of Petersburg, the most of its losses in action occurring at the latter place. The ist, 2(1, and 3d Infantry were three-months regiments which went out in April, 1861, in response to the first call for troops, and were in action at First Bull Run. The 4th and igth In fantry became, respectively, the island 2d Heavy Artillery, thereby leaving those regimental numbers vacant. In the 8th Infantry, five men were executed for desertion, an unusually large number for one regiment. The deaths in the 1 6th Regiment include 154 deaths in Confederate prisons, over 400 of this regiment having been captured at Plymouth, N. C. The great mortality in the gth was largely due to its sen ice in the district of the Lower Missis sippi, 153 of the deaths or half of the number present for duty occurring in the summer and fall of 1862 while stationed in the vicinity of Baton Rouge, Vicksburg, and New Orleans. 474 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

It sent 448,850 men to the Union Armies, of whom 19,085 were killed in battle, while 27,449 more lost their lives from other causes while in the service ; a total of 46,534 deaths. In addition to the number of men furnished, as just stated, New York sent 17,000 militia to the field for thirty days, which were not credited on the required quota. The National Guard of New York took a prominent and meritorious part in the war. In various emergencies it hastened to the front with a promptness that was surprising. Many of these militia regiments notably those from the city of New York were well drilled, perfectly equipped, and rendered valuable service not only in guarding the lines of communication, but on the battlefield itself. At First Bull Run the three-months men of the New York State National Guard the 8th, 69th, and 7 ist Regiments fought with a gallantry unsurpassed on all that bloody field. Nor was this all. Some of the National Guard regiments enlisted for three years, and taking the field promptly at the first call, gave the country the benefit of their previous drill and military experience. In this meritorious class were the 2(1 Regiment Militia, or 82d Volunteers; the Qth Militia, or 83(1 Volunteers; the I4th Brooklyn, or 84th Volunteers : the 2Oth Militia (Ulster Guard), or the 8oth Volunteers ; and the 79th " Highlanders."

In addition to the organizations which appear in the above tabulations, New York furnished the Army with i 7 regiments of militia for thirty days service ; 16 regiments for ninety days ; and 1 1 regiments for one hundred days. Some of these, like the 7th Regiment, responded to the call in three different emergencies, and served three separate enlistments. Of these troops, the Seventh Regiment, National Guard -- or 7th Militia, as it was called was particularly conspicuous by the surprising celerity with which it went to the front in time of need ; by its superior drill and equipment ; and by the high standard of personal character which marked its rank and file. When the war broke out it was among the very first to take the field, leaving New York on the igth of April, with 991 officers and men, and by its timely arrival at Washington contributed largely to the relief of the threatened Capital. This, its first enlistment, was for thirty days. It volunteered again in May, 1862, for three months ; and, again, in June, 1863, for one month. But the Seventh rendered a far greater and more valuable service to the country by the large number of efficient and well-drilled soldiers, which went from its ranks to accept commissions in the new volunteer regiments.

Hence the volunteer service made such demands on it for officers that 603 men of this regiment were commissioned in other commands during the war. It was the West Point of the New York volunteer service. The Seventh has no casualty list of its own, but of the officers which graduated from its ranks, 4 1 were killed in battle, and 1 7 died of disease while in the service. The first infantry regiments organized in the State aside from the three-months men who volunteered so promptly in April, 1861 were enlisted for two years service. All the infantry from the ist to the 38th regi ments, inclusive, were in this class, and were mustered out in May, 1863. Hence, the losses in these regiments were simller than in those which were recruited for a three-years term, or those which, having served their three years, reenlisted for another term and served through the war.

And, yet, there were no better regiments in the war, taken as a whole, than these two-year regiments from New York. They were composed of young men who volunteered promptly at the first alarm of the war ; whose incentive was a true patriotism, combined with military ardor and that love of adventure which helps so much to make the daring and gallant soldier. There were no conscripts or mercenaries in their number ; the ranks of each regiment were recruited from that grandest type of manhood the American Volunteers. It should be remembered that, although these two-year regiments were organixed early in 1 86 1, the Army did not take the field until the spring of 1862 ; and that when the fighting did commence, they had only a year to serve, which accounts for their comparatively small loss in action. Some of them, however --the i2th, i3th, 1 8th, nth (Fire Zouaves), and 38th were engaged at First Bull Run. Prominent among these two-year regiments was the loth New York (National Zouaves), raised in New York City, which, by recruiting and rei-nlistments, preserved its organization through the war. In April, 1863, the two-years men in the regiment were mustered out, and the three-years men were formed into a battalion of four companies, under Major Hopper, which remained in the field.

Although serving in company with the finest regiments in the Army, its discipline and efficiency was such that it lost nothing by any comparison with the other magnificent troops of that division. In September, 1862, it was transferred to the Second Corps, in which it afterwards remained. The service of the Tenth was a long and varied one ; it was among the first to enlist, and it remained in the field until the last shot had been fired. An interesting episode in the history of the Tenth was the organization of a working lodge of Master Masons in the regiment the National Zouave Lodge (U. D.) which found lodge-room in a casemate at Fort Monroe. These communications were attended, also, by brethren from neighboring camps ; thirty-four members were entered, passed, and raised; and, frequently, gray-clad soldiers of the Southern Army prisoners within the lines found their way to the spot and sat in lodge with their more fortunate brethren.* The 3d Infantry, though a two-years regiment, also preserved its organization after its term expired, and served through the war.

After the 5th, 7th, and 1 7th Regiments had returned to New York at the expiration of their two years term, and had been mustered out, other regiments bearing these numbers were organized from the disbanded veterans of the first thirty-eight infantry regiments, the i7th returning to the field with many who had served in the old organization. The ist Veteran Cavalry was composed mostly of men who served in the two-years infantry, and was recruited largely from the veterans of the 27th and 33d regiments. The 2d Veteran Cavalry contained many of the veterans of the 30th Infantry. Attention is called to the large number of killed in the 7th, igth, 26th, and 34th Infantry during their last year of service. The 7th lost 243 killed and wounded, at Fredericksburg, out of 488 engaged; the i6th lost 201 at Gaines s Mill ; the 26th lost 339 in the two actions of Manassas and Fredericksburg, and the 34th lost 25 1 at Fair Oaks and Antietam. The 24th. Cavalry and 2d Mounted Rifles served dismounted in the Ninth Corps until November, 1864, most of their casualties in battle occurring while dismounted and serving as infantry. 480 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

C., April 20, 1864. The loss by disease, accidents, etc., in the i32d New York includes 31 men who were killed at Bachelor s Creek, N. C., May 26, 1864, by an accidental explosion of torpedoes. The 1 07111 New York was the first regiment from the North to organize under the second call and the first to arrive at Washington, in acknowledgment of which it received a banner from the State, and on its arrival at Washington was greeted by a personal visit from the President. It was a fine regiment, and though its casualties were not among the largest, it made a splendid record for discipline and efficiency. The 77th New York was also a fighting regiment, and sustained a loss in officers above that of the average. The loss of officers in its brigade (7th Me., 43d N. Y., 49th N. Y., 77th N. Y., and 6ist Pa.) was without a parallel in the war, the five regiments losing 72 officers killed in action. The i44th sustained its loss in killed in the battles along the South Carolina coast, at John s Island, James Island, Siege of Wagner, Deveaux Neck, and Honey Hill, half of its loss occurring in the latter battle. The i4ist New York .encountered its hardest fighting and severest losses at Resacaand Peach Tree Creek. The following regiments failed to complete their organizations, and their numbers are accordingly vacant : the i7th Cavalry; nth and i2th Heavy Artillery ; i66th, 167:!!, 17151, i72d, iSoth, i8ist, and i83d Infantiy.

The 22d Light Battery, which was organixed in October, 1862, was transferred soon after to the gth Artillery. For various reasons some of the regiments were discontinued or disbanded before completing their term of enlistment: the 7th Cavalry, organi/ed in October, 1861, was discontinued after six months ; the ist Marine Artillery was mustered out in March. 1863; the nth Infantry (Fire Zouaves) was disbanded in May, 1862; the 53(1 was discontinued in March, 1862 ; the 55th was transferred to the 38th in December, 1862 ; the 87th was transferred to the 4Oth in September, 1862 ; the loist was transferred to the 37th in December, 1862 ; the i45thwas disbanded December 9, 1863, and distributed to the io7th, i23d, and 1501)1 Regiments; and the i63d was transferred to the 73(1 on January 20, 1863.

New Jersey. The record of the Jerseymen in the war shows that they were true to the patriotic memories of Princeton and Monmouth. The Jersey troops became conspicuous early in the war by reason of the First and Second Jersey Brigades ; in fact, any history of the Army of the Potomac would be incomplete and deficient were it without frequent mention of those gallant commands. The First Jersey Brigade, proper, consisted of the ist, 2d, 3d, and 4th New Jersey, to which the isth was added in 1862 ; the loth, 23d, and 4oth were also attached at various times. It was commanded successively by Generals Kearny, Taylor, Torbert, Colonel Brown (3d N. J.), and General Penrose. General Taylor was killed at Bull Run Bridge, while in command of the brigade. The Second Jersey Brigade was composed originally of the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Regiments, to which the i ith was subsequently added. Other regiments were attached to the brigade at different times. The Ninth New Jersey was a regiment which reflected credit on its State, and made a brilliant reputation in the Department in which it served. It fought in the battles along the North Carolina coast, and in 1864 was attached to the Army of the James. Its principal losses occurred at Roanoke Island, New Berne, Port Walthall, Drewry s Bluff, Coid Harbor, and Petersburg. The Thirteenth New Jersey is noteworthy on account of the remarkably small number cf deaths from NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA REGIMKNTS. LIST OF REGIMENTS IN THE UNION ARMIES ETC.

The regiments which marched by its side sustained far greater losses from this cause. And the Thirteenth saw an unusual amount of active service, too. It had not left the State two weeks before it joined McClellan s Army on the Maryland campaign, and was hotly engaged at Antielam. It fought through the Atlanta campaign, marched through Georgia to the Sea, and then fought under Sherman in the Carolinas. In the latter campaign official acknowledgement was made of the signal and valuable service rendered by the Thirteenth at the battle of Bentonville. The extraordinary exemption of this regiment from disease was undoubtedly due to the superior material in its ranks ; the men were a clean, healthy, intelligent lot, and repre sented the best element in the Volunteer service. A small loss by disease is a creditable feature in the record of a regiment, as well as a large loss in action. The nine-months men from this State also made a good record during the short time they were in service. At Fredericksburg the 24th New Jersey lost 136 in killed and wounded ; aud the 28th New Jersey lost 193 on that bloody field. The vacant numbers in the New Jersey line occurred through the following reasons : the i6th regiment became the ist Cavalry; the 32d the 2d Cavalry; and the 36th ihe 3d Cavalry; the i7th, i8th, and 20th regiments failed to complete their organizations. 484 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

The percentage of killed in the soldiers of the Keystone State, as based upon the white troops, is greater than in the quota of any other Northern State. This high percentage of loss in battle was largely due to the fact that nearly all the Pennsylvania troops served in Virginia, where the territory was better contested and the war more prolonged. Then, again, the Pennsylvania regiments were second to none. The cavalry of the State were, as a whole, unsurpassed ; they saw plenty of hard fighting, and their total losses in action exceed the cavalry losses of any other State.* A peculiarity in the numerical designations of the Pennsylvania regiments was the consecutive numbering, irrespective of the arm of the service to which they belonged. The volunteer regiments, as fast as they were organized, were numbered as volunteers ; but at the same time some of them were given other numbers, pertain ing to their arm of the service. The infantry regiments bore numerical designations identical with their volunteer numbers ; but the cavalry and artillery were numbered as such, their titles being synonymous with their numbers in the volunteer line. The cavalry and artillery were never known by their volunteer numbers ; hence, the *Some of the cavalry regiments of other States failed to receive their horses ; they served dismounted, as infantry, and were cavalry only in name.

The first twenty-five regiments of volunteers from this State served in 1861, at the commencement of the war, but were enlisted for three months only ; these regiments are omitted in the above tabulation, except the nth and 23d Regiments, which reenlisted for three years and retained their original designation. In addition to these twenty-five volunteer regiments of three-months men, Pennsylvania sent to the Army, in 1863, 34 regiments of militia for ninety days service ; also, about 5,000 more emergency-men in separate com panies or battalions. Two of these companies served three years, and five of them nine months. The deaths in the first twenty-five volunteer regiments, and in the thirty-four militia regiments, in 1863, and in the miscellaneous companies, and in all other commands omitted in the above tabulated list of Pennsylvania organizations, aggregated 1 1 2 from disease and 2 killed in action. Five companies of Pennsylvania Militia were the first volunteer troops of the war that arrived at Washington, they having marched promptly to the defense of the National Capital at the first note of alarm. These companies were the Ringgold Light Artillery, of Reading; the Logan Guards, of Lewistown ; the Washington Aitillery and National Light Infantry, of Pottsville ; and the Allen Rifles, of Allentown. They entered the city at 7 p. M., on 488 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. LIST OF REGIMENTS IN THE UNION ARMIES, ETC. CONTINUED. ORGANIZED REGIMENT. KILLED AND DIED OF WOUNDS.

Though one of the smallest States in the Union, Delaware furnished more men and money, in proportion to its military population, than any other State. The ist Delaware Cavalry was not a full regiment, but a battalion of seven companies, and in 1864 it served, dismounted, in the Sixth Corps. The Delaware Heavy Artillery consisted of one company only Ahl s Independent Company. The State furnished, also, an infantry company Stirling s- which-enlisted in August, 1864, for one year; and a company of cavalry Milligan s which enlisted in July, 1864, for thirty days. Maryland. Over 40,000 Marylanders followed the "old line bugle, fife, and drum" into the Union ranks. Including colored troops, the State furnished 46,638 men for the Union Armies, and paid commutation for 3,678 more, a total of 56,316. *llist. Penn. Vols.: S. P.

The Maryland Brigade belonged to the Second Division, Fifth Corps, and was composed of the ist, 4th, 7th, and 8th Maryland Infantry, together with the infantry command known as the Purnell (Md.) Legion. The latter organization had served previously in the Twelfth Corps; and the brigade, itself, before joining the Fifth Corps, had served in the Eighth, and also in the First Corps. The 6th Maryland had also served in this brigade for a few months. The principal losses of the Maryland Brigade occurred while on Grant s Virginia campaigns of 1864-65, during which it particularly distinguished itself, taking an active part in all the battles of the Fifth Corps. Colonel Dushane (ist Md.), the commander of the brigade, was killed at the battle of the Weldon Railroad, August 19, 1864. Different regiments bearing the same number appear in the Maryland line, owing to the ist and zd Maryland Eastern Shore ; and the ist, 2d, and 3(1 Maryland, Potomac Home Brigade. The designation of the ist Maryland, Potomac Home Brigade (Infantry), was changed to i3th Maryland Infantry, April 8, 1865. There was a cavalry regiment, also, known as the ist Maryland, Potomac Home Brigade. The ist Maryland Infantry, Potomac Home Brigade, was attached to the Twelfth Corps in 1863, and was hotly engaged at Gettysburg, where it fought with the ist Maryland, C. S. A. OHIO REGIMENTS.

The 9th West Virginia Infantry, composed largely of refugees, was prominently engaged at Cloyd s Mountain, where it led a successful assault, but with a loss of 45 killed and 144 wounded. In this action its color-guard entered the enemy s works in advance of the line, every one of them falling, killed or wounded ; and, after the fight, twenty-one men lay dead around the flags, twelve of whom were Confederates. The 2d West Virginia Infantry was changed to mounted infantry in June, 1863, and in January, 1864, to the 5th West Virginia Cavalry.

Ohio. The quota due from the State of Ohio, under the various calls for troops, was 306,322 men. The quota was not only promptly filled, but several thousand additional troops were furnished. Ohio sent 313,180 men to the war, and paid commutation on 6,479 more ; total, 319,659. But many of the regiments enlisted for a few months only, and, hence, the Ohio enlistments, when reduced to a three-years standard, were equivalent to 240,514 men. The Roll of Honor from the State includes 35,475 men who died in the service : of these, 11,588 fell in battle ; 19,365 died of disease ; 2,71 1 died while in the hands of the enemy; the remainder died from accidents, and various other causes, known and unknown.

Kentucky Infantry ; the ii7th Regiment was changed to the ist Ohio Heavy Artillery ; the 12 7th Ohio was a colored regiment whose designation was changed to the 5th United States Colored. In addition to the regiments in the above tabulation, Ohio sent 23 regiments to the field in April, 1861, to serve three months. The most of these regiments, which volunteered for three months in 1 86 1, reorganized immediately after their return and enlisted for three years, retaining their old volunteer numbers. While in the three-months service these regiments were engaged in active and arduous campaigns, and did considerable fighting, the three-months volunteers from Ohio taking the most prominent part in the successful campaign which wrested West Virginia from the Confederate grasp. A noticeable feature of the Ohio troops was the State National Guard, which was organized in 1863, pur suant to an act of Legislature passed that year, to meet the obvious necessity for such a body of troops in protecting the State from invasions like that of the Morgan Raid, and in supplying the National Government with emergency-men when called for. The Ohio National Guard was well organized, uniformed, drilled, and completely equipped; and, in the spring of 1864, Ohio sent 36,254 of these troops 42 regiments to the field for 100 494 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Part of them garrisoned the fortifications of Washington, and thus enabled the heavy artillery regiments hitherto employed on that duty to go to the front and reenforce General Grant. Part of the Ohio National Guard, also, went to the front, and one entire division of the Tenth Corps General Orris S. Ferry s was composed of these regiments. On entering the LTnited States service the National Guard regiments dropped their former numerical designations, and were numbered to conform to their place in the list of Ohio Volunteers. In addition to the National Guard, the State organized and enrolled an efficient force of militia. In 1862, when Cincinnati was threatened by an invading army, 16,000 " Squirrel Hunters " marched to its defense. The veterans of the Ohio volunteers reenlisted in large numbers ; 20,708 of them remained in the field after their three years enlistment had expired, and served through the rest of the war. It should be remembered that the volunteers Who enlisted in 1862 were not eligible for the reenlistments just referred to ; that only those who enlisted in 1861 could reenlist, and that, owing to the depletion of the regiments resulting from three years of fighting and hard service, these 20,708 reenlistments must have embraced a very large proportion of the volun teers of 1 86 1, who were remaining in the field at the close of their three years term.

General McClellan s first service in the war was as the Major-General of the Ohio volunteers, and Generals Grant and Buell were born in the State. The i02d Ohio lost 70 men killed by the explosion of the steamer Sultana, on the Mississippi River, April 27, 1865 ; and the iisth Ohio lost 83 killed in the same accident. Ohio regiments had the honor of furnishing the twenty-two soldiers who captured a locomotive and made the famous railroad raid along the line of the Atlanta & Chattanooga Railroad, in April, 1862. It was a daring deed, and without an equal in its thrilling story of danger, intrepidity, heroic suffering, and death.* The men who were detailed to carry out this wild romance were chosen from the 2d, 2ist, and 33d Ohio Infantry. The 2d Ohio Cavalry was the leading regiment, in point of loss, in the mounted service of the State. General Kautz was at one time Colonel of this regiment. Its service was a varied one, fighting in the Indian *Daring and Danger : by the Rev. William Pittinger (2d Ohio). OHIO REGIMENTS. LIST OF REGIMENTS IN* THE UNION ARMIES, ETC. CONTINUED.

Its fallen heroes, buried where they fell, form a vidette-line of patriot graves from the Missouri to the Chesapeake. The 9th Ohio was composed of Germans, and was known as the First German or " Prussian" Regiment. At Chickamauga this regiment lost 48 killed, 185 wounded, and 16 missing ; total, 249, out of about 500 engaged, and the heaviest loss but one of any regiment on the field. The 28th and 37th Ohio were also German Regiments. At Chaplin Hills, six color-bearers of the Third Ohio were shot down in succession, but the flag was not allowed to touch the ground, so promptly did each successive hero grasp its falling staff. The 22d Ohio was organized at St. Louis, and designated the i3th Missouri Volunteers ; but as it was com posed mainly of Ohio men, it was transferred, in 1862, to the Ohio line by order of the Secretary of War. The 75th Ohio, Eleventh Corps, was transferred to South Carolina in 1863, and thence to Florida, where it served as mounted infantry. The nth and i2th Ohio served, also, in the Kanawha Division of the Ninth Corps, and were engaged at South Mountain and Antietam. M 498 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Though a Border State and repeatedly overrun with contending armies, Kentucky furnished 79,025 men in defense of the Union. The State offered no bounties, nor did it enforce a draft ; it appealed solely to the patriotism of its people, and its calls for volunteers were met by a loyal, prompt response. It furnished 51,743 white troops, 314 sailors, 23,703 colored troops, and paid commutation for 3,265 ; in all, 79,025. Reduced to a basis of a three-years enlistment, these troops were equal to 70,832 men. Over ten thousand loyal Kentuckians lost their lives while in the service ; and, of the white troops, 2,478 were killed or mortally wounded in battle. In addition to the volunteer regiments, the State organized n battalions (3,772 men) under sanction of the War Department at Washington, in July, 1863, which were known as the " Kentucky State Forces, " and which served as " Home Guards." Sundry other militia organizations, numbering 8,704 men, were also called into service and assigned to similar duty. These troops 12,476111611 were not credited on the State s quota, although they rendered valuable service to the General Government in protecting the lines of communications, and in suppressing the guerrilla bands which terrorized the exposed portions of the State.

General McClernand officially congratulated the Governor of the State on the meritorious part taken by Kentucky in the Vicksburg campaign, and added his "testimony to the gallantry, bravery, and good conduct of her officers and men in all that bloody struggle. They bore themselves with the unflinching steadiness of veterans, both under galling fires of artillery and musketry, and in making charges upon fortified lines." The losses in battle of the Kentucky regiments were more severe than the figures indicate, as the regiments were small. Nearly every regiment took the field before its ranks attained the maximum strength, and but few recruits were forwarded. The 60 regiments contained, in all, only 51,743 names on their rolls. Vacant numbers occur in the list of Kentucky regiments through the following reasons : the 29th, 3ist, 36th, 38th, 43d, 44th, 46th, 5oth, and 5 ist Regiments were incomplete organizations, and their recruits were transferred to other regiments. The 4ist and 42d Regiments were thirty-days men, who were called out at the time of Bragg s invasion. There was no Battery D organized. The 3 3 d Infantry was consolidated with the 26th Infantry on April ist, 1864. The 4th, 4oth, 45th, 47th, 48th, 52d, 53d, 54th and 55th Regiments served as mounted infantry. INDIANA REGIMENTS.

The 64th was intended to be a light artillery regiment, but it was riot organized, and the companies selected for it served as independent batteries. The regiments of the Indiana Cavalry did not sustain all their losses while in the mounted service. The 8th Cavalry served originally as the 39th Infantry, and part of its losses in battle occurred while in the infantry service. It fought as infantry at Shiloh and Stone s River, its casualties in the latter action amounting to 30 killed, 119 wounded,* and 231 missing; total, 380. It was changed to mounted infantry in April, 1863, and to the 8th Cavalry in October, 1863. The 6th Cavalry also sustained part of its losses before it joined the mounted service, it having served originally as the 7ist Infantry, during which it fought at Richmond, Ky., where it lost 29 killed, 01* wounded, and 593 missing and captured. The 2ist Infantry was changed to heavy artillery in March, 1863. Previous to that time it had sustained some heavy losses while acting as infantry, its casualties at the battle of Baton Rouge aggregating 24 killed, 98* wounded, and 4 missing; total, 126.

Over 80,000 Indiana soldiers, however, were enlisted without preserving any record of their age and height. These figures approximate closely the ages and heights of the American volunteers of the same classes. Dr. Gould, however, thinks that the figures show "that the Indiana men are the tallest of all natives of the United States, and these latter the tallest of all civilized countries."* Illinois. This State sent six regiments to the Mexican war, and when the Illinois Legislature passed the law, in April, 1861, authorizing the acceptance of regiments, it was provided in the Act that, "in token of respect tc the Illinois regiments in Mexico," these new organizations should receive numbers commencing with the 7th. The first six regiments which were organi/.ed under this Act 7th to iath Infantry, inclusive were sworn in for three months service, at the expiration of which they reorganized and enlisted for three years. Illinois responded promptly to every call for men, and was one of the few States which furnished troops in excess of its qrota. Retort Adjutant-General of Indiana, 1WJ; vol.

Many of these regiments dropped their synonyms before the war closed, and were known only by their regular title ; and, with some, the synonym was never used except on the printed placards of the recruiting officers. The gth, soth, 8oth, 87th, ii2th. and n8th Regiments also served part of the time as mounted infantry. Only one vacancy occurred in the list of Illinois regiments; the i2ist failed to complete its organization. One regiment, known as the "Mechanics- Fusileers" or 56th Illinois Infantry, organized in November, 1861, to serve three years, was disbanded within four months, and another regiment, subsequently organized, was desig nated as the 56th Regiment. This latter regiment lost n officers and 195 men by the burning of the steamer " General Lyon," off Cape Hatteras, March 31, 1865. 508 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

The 97th Illinois lost 18 killed and 67 wounded in a railroad accident in Louisiana, November 3, 1863. In addition to the Illinois regiments specially mentioned in Chapter X, there were many other regiments from this State which had records equally meritorious, although their casualties in action may not have been as numerous. The 41 st Illinois, Colonel Isaac C. Pugh, faced the musketry of many hard-fought fields, its " Roll of Honor" showing 115 heroes who fell in battle, out of a total enrollment of 1,029, a loss of over n per cent. Its first experience under fire was at Fort Donelson, where it fought in General C. F. Smith s Division, sustaining a loss of 14 killed, 113 wounded,* and 3 missing ; total, 130. A few weeks later it was engaged at Shiloh, it being then in Hurlbut s Division, and fought at the " hornet s nest," where it lost 21 killed, 73 wounded,* and 3 miss ing, Lieutenant-Colonel Tupper being among the killed. While at Memphis, in March, 1863, a dispute arose among the generals as to which was the best drilled regiment in the Corps, and the matter was settled by a prize- *Including the mortally wounded.

During the siege of Jackson, Miss., the regiment participated in the deadly charge, of Pugh s Brigade, which was the subject of so much criticism and censure, and in which it lost 27 killed, 135 wounded,* and 40 missing, a total of 202 out of 338 present. Major Long was mortally wounded in this affair. When General McPherson was killed, and his body sent home, the 4ist was selected to accompany it as an escort. The 96th Illinois, Colonel Thomas K. Champion, was another regiment which achieved a reputation as an efficient and reliable command. It distinguished itself at Chickamauga, where it fought in Steedman s Division of General Gordon Granger s Reserve Corps, holding its ground sturdily in the face of Longstreet s veterans, and retiring from the field only when darkness had terminated the conflict. Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke was killed in this battle, the total loss of the regiment amounting to 39 killed, 134 wounded,* and 52 missing ; total, 225. The i Sth Illinois, Colonel Michael K.

He had resigned ten days previous, but, having remained with the regiment, he entered the fight with the men and led them gallantly until he fell mortally wounded. The 1 25th Illinois led the storming column of McCook s Brigade in the grand assault on Kenesaw Mountain, June 27, 1864. General McCook was with the advance, and fell mortally wounded on the enemy s works, having passed the abattis. Colonel Harmon, of the i25th, took his place instantly, and while urging the men to secure the victory so nearly won, fell with a bullet through his heart. The regiment lost 61, all of whom were killed or died of their wounds, in this assault, besides the large number of wounded who survived. -The regiments from this State, with one exception, enlisted for three years, and they were kept at an effective strength by repeated accessions of recruits, which accounts partly for the large " Roll of Honor " in so many of the Michigan regiments. Each regiment completed its organization, leaving no missing numbers in the list.

Its principal losses in battle occurred while serving as infantry and before it was converted to heavy artillery, during which it lost at Baton Rouge 1 5 killed, 44 wounded, and 6 missing; and, at Port Hudson, 20 killed and 129 wounded. An excessive proportion of the wounded died of their injuries. Almost the entire loss in battle of the 220! Infantry occurred in one action, at Chickamauga, after which it was assigned to duty as a provost-guard, and, at times, on duty as engineers. The 9th Infantry served most of its time as the Provost-guard of the Army of the Cumberland, and was attached to General Thomas s Headquarters. The best known, and one of the most efficient of the Michigan regiments in the West, was " Innes s " First Michigan Engineers, which was composed almost entirely of mechanics and engineers. Like the other engineer commands, it was a large regiment 1,800 strong containing 1 2 companies of 150 men each. In repairing the damaged railroads along the lines of communications these men built bridges and trestles whose combined length could be measured by the mile, and erected block-houses by the score. The construction of some of these bridges, their size and height, and the marvellous quickness with which they were rebuilt, constituted some of the most wonderful feats of military engineering. This regiment could fight also, as well as do other duty, and a 512 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. LIST OF REGIMENTS IN THE UNION ARMIES, ETC. CONTINUED. ORGANIZED REGIMENT.

General Innes having been mus tered out at the expiration of his term, he was succeeded by Colonel John B. Yates. Many of the Michigan regiments went to the front in 1861 with Colonels who afterwards were numbered among the most distinguished generals of the war. On the roster of the 2d Cavalry are the names of " Colonel " Gordon Granger, and " Colonel " Philip H. Sheridan. Generals Russell A. Alger and Robert H.

The 3d Cavalry was attached to the Army of the Frontier, and, like many of the Western cavalry regiments, served in Missouri, Arkansas, and in the Indian Territory, fighting in unheard-of battles, and losing its men in engagements which are never mentioned in history and which were never lettered on the battle-flags of the Republic. One of the principal losses of the 3d Cavalry occurred at Baxter Springs, Cherokee Nation, October 6, 1863, where one company (I) attached to General Blunt s headquarters was attacked by Quant rell s guerrillas and forced to retreat with a loss of 33 killed and 14 wounded. The quartermaster was killed, and, of a regi mental band which accompanied General Blunt, not a man escaped, the enemy giving no quarter.* The ist Cavalry, also, lost 17 killed, 38 wounded, and 8 missing, in an affair at L Anguille Ferry, Ark., August 3, 1862, the Chaplain of the First being among the killed. The principal losses of the i2th Battery occurred in the heroic defense of Allatoona Pass, Lieutenant Amsden, who commanded the battery in this fight, falling mortally wounded. The Twelfth was the only artillery present at that memorable engagement. The 8th Infantry, or " Eagle Regiment," became widely known by the live American eagle which it carried Report Adj.-Gen.

The 37th Iowa, or " Graybeard Regiment," was a remarkable command. It was organized under General Order 89, State of Iowa, August 25, 1862, which specified that the regiment should be " composed of active and vigorous men, over /he age of 45, and be assigned to garrison duty. The average age of the men thus recruited was 57 years. The rolls of the 3/th, on which the age of each man is recorded, show that 3 of the recruits were over eighty, 7 were over seventy, and 123 were over sixty years of age. They enlisted for three years, and the hardy old pioneers performed their allotted duty as well as any regiment could have done. Had occasion demanded they would undoubtedly have gone into action cheerfully and acquitted themselves honorably. Many of the regiments from this State were brigaded by themselves. These Iowa Brigades made brilliant records in the field, and secured for their State a full share of the laurels of the war. Prominent among these was "Hall s Iowa Brigade," of the Seventeenth Corps, composed of the nth, i3th, 1510, and i6th Regiments. These troops were brigaded thus in April, 1862, under command of Colonel Crocker of the i3th Iowa, and served together until mustered out in July, 1865. Crocker, having been promoted Brigadier, was succeeded by Colonel Hall of the nth, who was in turn succeeded, in August, 1864, by General William W. Belknap, formerly of the 151!!. Colonels Reid and Chambers, also, commanded the brigade at times. It fought in all the MISSOURI, KANSAS AND TENNESSEE REGIMENTS. 5U LIST OF REGIMENTS IN THE UNION ARMIES, ETC. CONTINUED.

" Williamson s Iowa Brigade," of the Fifteenth Corps, was composed of the 4th, gth, 25th, 26th, 3Oth, and 3 ist Regiments, and was a splendid command. It was organized in December, 1862, with General Thayer in command, who was succeeded soon after the Vicksburg campaign by Colonel James A. Williamson of the 4th Iowa. General Williamson having been mustered out in February, 1865, he was succeeded by Colonel George A. Stone of the 25th, who commanded the brigade on the campaign through the Carolinas. At Shiloh, an Iowa Brigade composed of the 2d, yth, i2th, and i4th Regiments fought under command of General Tuttle, then Colonel of the 2(1 Iowa; and, in the Vicksburg campaign, an Iowa Brigade 8th, 1 2th, and 35th Regiments under command of General Matthies, was attached to the Fifteenth Corps. Three Iowa regiments the 22d, 24th, and 28th served in Virginia during the Shenandoah campaign of 1864. They belonged, previously, to the Thirteenth Corps, but were transferred to the Nineteenth just before that Corps embarked at New Orleans for Virginia. 520 REGIMENTAL LOSSES m THE CIVIL WAR.

J" Coast Division." to the troops furnished the Union Army, the State was obliged to raise regiments to protect its own territory from the partisan bands which continually invaded it long after the main armies of the Confederacy had abandoned the field. With this purpose in view the regiments known as the Missouri State Militia were organized. These troops were mostly mounted men, and were enlisted " to serve during the war, in Missouri" They were efficient, reliable commands, and the frequent engagements in which they participated is evidenced by the large number of their men who were killed in action. In addition to the State Militia, some regiments were organized which were designated the United States Reserve Corps, and were enlisted for three months* after which they were rei -nlisted " to serve during the war, in Missouri." The State furnished 109,1 1 1 men, exclusive of a large force of militia which was in active service during most of the period of the war, and whose pay and expenses were borne by the State. In view of the terrible disad vantages under which it was compelled to labor, Missouri made a loyal and gallant record, one which will compare favorably with her sister States, and which entitles her to a place of honor in the history of the war. 522 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

The ist Missouri Light Artillery was originally an infantry regiment Colonel Frank P, Blair s which enlisted for three months and fought at Camp Jackson, Boonville, and Wilson s Creek. In the latter engagement it lost 76 killed, 208 wounded,* and n missing; total, 295. But few regiments in the war sustained a heavier loss in any one battle. After its three months enlistment had expired it returned to St. Louis, where it reorgan ized as a light artillery regiment, and enlisted for three years. The County Regiments Benton, Lawrence, Stone, Greene, Cole, and Ozark Counties enlisted for three months only ; but it was three months of active service, and included some hard fighting. The 7th Missouri Infantry won special distinction in the siege of Vicksburg by its gallantry in the desperate assault of May 22d, planting its colors on the enemy s works and losing six color-bearers killed in quick succession. The 39th Missouri lost 2 officers and 120 men killed in a massacre at Centralia, Mo., September 27, 1864. Major Johnson of the 39th, with a detachment of 147 men from his regiment, attacked a large force of guerrillas under the command of the Confederate partisan, Anderson. Johnson and his men were surrounded after the first volley, and, no quarter being shown, but few escaped alive. Major Johnson was among the killed. The designation of the 9th Missouri Infantry, which was organized in St. Louis, was changed to the 59th Illinois, as most of the men belonged in that State ; and, for a similar reason, the i3th Missouri became the 22d Ohio. Kansas. In addition to the regiments mentioned in the above list, Kansas organized three others, which were composed of Indians, and were designated the Kansas Indian Home-Guard. These regiments were organ ized during the spring and summer of 1862, and served until the war had ended. They fought in the numerous battles in the Indian Territory, and were also engaged in some of the battles in Arkansas and Missouri, at Prairie Grove, and at Newtonia. These regiments were recruited mostly from the Creeks and Cherokees. The ist Kansas lost at Wilson s Creek 77 killed, 187 wounded,* and 20 missing; total, 284. The principal losses of the 8th Kansas were : At Chickamauga, 30 killed, 165 wounded,* and 25 missing; at Missionary Ridge, 3 killed and 24 wounded ;* and at Nashville, 8 killed and 32 wounded.* At Chickamauga the regiment was in Davis s Division of McCook s (2Oth) Corps, but shortly after that battle it was assigned to Thos. J. Wood s Division of the Fourth Corps. The number of troops furnished by Kansas was largely in excess of its quota, and was equal to 72 per cent, of its military population (white males from 1 8 to 45 years of age), as enumerated in the census of 1860. "including the mortally wounded. RKGULAR AND COLORED RKGIMKNTS. 523 Tennessee. Although this State joined the Southern Confederacy, it furnished thirty regiments to the Union Army, organized from refugees and volunteers who enlisted without the inducement of bounty, many of whom had to nm the gauntlet of Confederate videttes, or avoid them by crossing the cold and desolate peaks of the Cumberland. The total number of Union soldiers from Tennessee was 31,092, not including blacks. Averaged on the basis of a three years enlistment, they were equal to 26,394 men. The regiments were small, and were main tained with difficulty at an effective strength. In addition to these 31,092 enlistments, 20,133 colored soldiers were recruited in this State. Of the 31,092 white troops. 6,777 l st their lives while in the service. A part, only, of the Tennessee Union regiments are given in the above list, the ones selected being those which were most prominent by reason of their losses in action or otherwise. Of the deaths from disease in the 2(1 Tennessee Infantry, 382 occurred in Confederate prisons. The 7th Cavalry lost 193 from the same cause. The 2d Cavalry lost 260 men killed in the explosion of the steamer Sultana, near Memphis. Regular Army The Regular Army, prior to the war, contained nineteen regiments in all: five cavalry regiments (two of dragoons, two of cavalry, and one of mounted rifles), four artillery, and ten infantry. By authority of the President s proclamation of May 3, 1861 approved by Congress July 2ist an addition was made of one cavalry, one artillery, and nine infantry regiments. It was further ordered that the nine new infantry regiments should contain two, but not more than three, battalions of eight companies each. This contemplated strength, however, was not attained. Some of them succeeded in organizing two battalions, but all the infantry regiments are now ten-company commands. The old regiments were small (maximum of ten companies), and all the regiments became so depleted by losses and lack of recruits, that, in 1863, they only numbered from two to eight companies each. Any comparison of their losses with those of volunteer commands should be accompanied by a statement of effective strength. At Stone s River, the "Regular Brigade," of Rousseau s Division, Fourteenth Corps, made a brilliant record, and earned a reputation as a most efficient and reliable command. The brigade was composed of the isth, i6th, 1 8th, and igth Infantry, and Battery H of the 5th. Artillery. The i8th Infantry had two battalions ; the others, one each. The brigade took 1,566 officers and men into action, and sustained a loss of 94 killed, 489 wounded,* and 47 missing ; total, 630. The i6th Infantry lost 166 out of 308 engaged, or over 53 per cent. At Gettysburg the two Regular brigades of Ayres s Division included ten regiments, but they contained, in all, only fifty-seven small companies. Out of 1,985 present in action, they lost 829 in killed, wounded and missing ; and, in Burbank s Brigade, out of 80 officers present, 40 were killed or wounded. Heavy losses were also sustained at Gaines s Mill by the 2d, i2th, and i4th Infantry ; at Manassas, by the 1 4th ; and at Spotsylvania, by the i ith. The 9th Infantry was stationed on the Pacific Coast during the entire war. The 5th Infantry served in New Mexico. A part of the 8th Infantry was present at Cedar Mountain, where it fought in Augur s Division, Banks s Corps ; and some of the companies served as a provost-guard at General McClellan s Headquarters. The principal loss of the 3d Cavalry occurred at Valverde, N. M., and at Cherokee Station, Ala. Colored Troops. There were 166 regiments of colored troops organized during the war. Their total losses in battle amounted to 2,751 men killed or mortally wounded, not including the deaths among the officers, who were whites. The colored regiments in the above list were the ones which sustained the heaviest losses in battle, and together with the 54th Massachusetts, 55th Massachusetts, and 291)1 Connecticut, represent over three-fourths of the entire loss in action of this class of troops. The regiments of Ferrero s Division sustained almost all their losses at the Mine Explosion and in the trenches before Petersburg. This division was also engaged at the Boydton Road, but with slight loss. The casualties in Paine s (formerly Hinks s) Division occurred in the first assault on Petersburg, June 15, 1864, at Chaffin s Farm, and at the Darbytown Road (Fair Oaks, 1864). The principal loss in Hawley s Division occurred at Deep Bottom, and Chaffin s Farm (Fort Gilmer). Including the mortally wounded. 524 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAK. The most of those killed in the 73d fell in the assault on Port Hudson ; and the killed in the 2d Infantry, at Natural Bridge, Va. Eleven officers of the latter regiment, including the Colonel and Chaplain, died of disease at Key West, Fla., in the summer of 1864. There is no satisfactory explanation for the surprising mortality in the 5th Colored Heavy Artillery, and 65th Colored Infantry. The former regiment was recruited in Louisiana and Mississippi, and was stationed along the Mississippi river at various points between Memphis and Port Hudson. The most of the deaths were caused by fevers; and at one time the regiment suffered from small pox. It was organized at Vicksburg in August, 1863, and was mustered out May 20, 1866. Its original designation was the gth Louisiana Vols , A. D. The 65th Colored Infantry was also stationed along the Mississippi. It was recruited in Missouri, and organized at Benton Barracks, Mo., in December, 1863, as the 2nd Missouri Vols., A. D. Over 100 men died at the Barracks before the regiment took the field, the men having been enlisted by the Provost- Marshals through out the State and forwarded to this Post during an inclement seas on, thinly clad, and many of them hatless, shoeless, and without food. Many suffered amputation of frozen feet or hands, and the diseases engendered by this exposure resulted in a terrible and unprecedented mortality. Miscellaneous Regiments. In addition to the lists in the preceding pages, there were several regiments from the Territories and Southern States. The deaths in these commands are embraced in the losses credited their respective States and Territories, in the table given in the succeeding chapter. Some of these regiments suffered severely in action; notably, the ist Colorado, which lost 32 killed and 76 wounded at Apache Canon; the ist Louisiana (white), which lost 123 killed and wounded at Port Hudson; and the ist Arkansas Cavalry, which lost over 100 men killed in the guerrilla fighting on the Arkansas Frontier. The remarkably large number of deaths from disease in some regiments includes the deaths in Confederate prisons, in which case the latter should be deducted in order to prevent an erroneous impression regarding the death rate of the regiment. The following named regiments sustained unusually heavy losses by deaths in Confederate prisons : Died in REGIMENT.

AGGREGATE OF DEATHS IN THE UNION ARMIES BY STATES- -TOTAL ENLIST MENT BY STATES PERCENTAGES OP MILITARY POPULATION FURNISHED, AND PERCENTAGES OF LOSS STRENGTH OF THE ARMY AT VARIOUS DATES CASUALTIES IN THE NAVY. HPHE statistics in this chapter, with the exception of the percentages, are compiled largely from the recent official publications of the War Department. They show not only the aggregate mortuary loss of the Union Armies during the War of the Rebellion, but show the losses sustained by each State, together with the various causes of death. The tables are based upon the statistics prepared in the War Department at Washington, in 1885, by order of General Richard C. Drum, Adjutant -General United States Army, the work being done under the supervision of Mr. Joseph W. Kirkley, the statistician of that department. This work of the War Department was one of immense magnitude ; but it was done conscientiously and intelligently, and the extracts given here may be considered not only as official, but final. The period during \vhich these deaths occurred embraces, in the Regular Army, the time between. April 15, 1801, and August 1, 1805 ; but, in the volunteers, it covers the time from the date of muster-in to the date of final muster-out of each organization. Soldiers who died after they had been discharged or mustered out are not counted, except those who were pris oners of war at the time of their death. Most of the volunteer regiments were mustered out in the summer of 1505 ; some remained in service until January, 1800, and a few were not discharged until 1807. In presenting here these important statistics, the figures have been arranged in tables so as to bring out clearly their important features ; and, to these have been added various columns of percentages which may be of interest in connection with the matter. In Table A, Column IV, the official figures for the enlistment, reduced to a three years standard, are used as a basis in calculating the percentage of loss in the various States. As has already been explained, the terms of enlistment varied in length, and, although the bulk of the army was enlisted for a three years term of service, many of the regiments were mustered in to serve for three months, six months, nine months, one year, or two years. In some of the calls for troops made by the President these different terms were, at one time or another, sj>ecified in the proclamation. Of the 2,778, 304 separate enlistments, there were 2,030,700 who enlisted for three years, including the veteran reenlistments ; 301,752 who enlisted for one year ; 44,400 for two years; 1,042 for four years ; 87,588 for nine months; 108,410 for three months; 20,439 for six months; 85,507 for one hundred days; 2,045 for sixty days ; 373 for eight months ; and 42 for four months. There were also several New York militia regiments which served for thirty days in various emergencies, and bodies of "minute men" from other States, of which no account was made. Reduced to a basis of a three years term, these various enlistments were equal to 2,320,108 men recruited for three years service. (525) 526 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. TABLE A.

Then, again, nearly all of the three years regiments that volunteered in 1861 reenlisted m January, 1864, for another three years term of service.

All these (except about 20,000 Regulars who were in service at the outbreak of the war) are included in the number of men furnished by the various States, but the net share furnished by each State is not known. For this reason, the actual percentage of loss by each State is somewhat larger than the apparent one. } Includes 35 deaths in the Engineer Battalion. enlisted for three years, Many of the three-years men who were discharged for physical disability or other reasjns, enlisted again in other regiments before the war had closed, and thus were counted twice. Over 300,000 men enlisted just before the close of the war, few of whom, if any, participated in any active service. It is doubtful if there were 2,000,000 individual- actually in service during the war. The smaller percentage of killed belonging to some States does not necessarily imply any lack of fighting qualities, but rather that the troops from such States were more largely assigned to post or garrison duty, and that a smaller proportion of their contingent was engaged at the front. Still, in the heavy percentage of deaths in battle credited to Vermont and New Hampshire, one cannot help- but trace a connection with the hard and continuous fighting which 1VH to the lot of the Vermont Brigade, and the Fifth New Hampshire. The number of officers and men in the Regular Army among whom the casualties occurred as stated in Table A -- is placed officially at (57,000, and the percentage of deaths is based on that number. But this number includes enlistments after the fighting had ceased, 528 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. TABLE B. TOTAL DEATHS FROM DISEASE, ACCIDENTS, AND OTHER CAUSES. STATES. DIED OF DISEASE.

Of these, 98 died of disease; 84 of wounds received In battle ; 25 were killed after capture ; 11 died from sundry known causes ; and 1-J3 from causes not stated on the rolls. which occurred in Confederate prisons. The total deaths among the prisoners were 20,41)8, divided as follows : from disease, 24,8G> ; died of wounds received in battle, 2,072 ; accidents, 7 ; drowned, 7 ; killed after capture, 104 ; executed by the enemy, (54 ; sunstroke, 20 ; causes known but unclassified, 311) ; cause not stated, 2,039. With the exception of the loss from disease, the deaths among prisoners are included in the various classifications of Tables B and C. The loss among prisoners from "cause not stated" (2,039 deaths) was probably due, for the most part, to disease, and might with good reason be added to the 24,86f> deaths from disease. Most of the deaths from wounds and executions, among prisoners, together with some from other causes occurred while in the enemy s hands, but before arriving at the prison pens. The total deaths among prisoners (29,408) include all who died while in the enemy s hands whether in prison, or on their way there, or in the field hospitals, or while lying disabled within the enemy s lines. Since the publication by the War Department, in 1885, of its exhibit of deaths during the late war, additional information has been acquired which has increased the number of deaths among the prisoners until the aggregate has reached a total of 30,156. Of the 9,058 deaths from accidents- -Table B, Column III- -4,944 were from drowning. With the latter are included over one thousand who lost their lives in the explosion and sinking of the steamboat Sultana on the Mississippi River ; also, those who were lost at sea by the sinking of the steamer General Lyon. 84 530 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Iii Table B, Column I, it is shown that 199,^20 died from disease alone, in camps, hos pitals, or at home. An interesting question arises here as to what proportion of this loss was due to army life. What is the normal death rate ? How many of these men would have died had they remained at home ? The tables in use by the actuaries of the life insurance companies show that of a thousand healthy men at the age of twenty-three selected risks - eight will die within a year. Assuming the average strength of the army to have been 1,000,000 men for four* years, and the average age to have been twenty- three, it appears that 32,000 of these deaths would have occurred in time of peace, and that the excess was due solely to the fatal vicissitudes of a soldier s life. In Table C, a subdivision is made of the number represented by Column IV, Table B. The 2,034 deaths in Column VII, Table C Causes known but not classified -- include those resulting from quarrels, riots, and the like, and which are not definitely reported as murder ; from being shot for insubordination, or by provost-guards or sentinels in attempting to escape, or pass the lines ; from exhaustion or exposure ; killed while depredating upon the property of citizens ; and all other causes not embraced in the preceding columns, "f After accounting for all known causes of death, there still remain - - Table C, Column VIII - 12. 1 21 cases of cause unknown.

Undoubtedly, the most of these men, or nearly all, died from disease ; and although they cannot be so included in any statistical exhibit, they should be borne in mind as a probable addition to the number of deaths from that cause. Many will deem it strange that, with over 2,300,000 three-year enlistments, the total strength of the army, present and absent, never reached half that number. This can be partly explained by the large number discharged for physical disability incurred in the ser vice. Over 250,000 men were honorably discharged for disabilities arising from wounds or diseases which unfitted them for further service. Another serious cause of depletion was the remarkably large miml)er of desertions. The reported desertions during the war numl>ered 268,530. The Provost Marshal General esti mated that 25 per cent, of these were wrongly reported ; that these men were absent uninten tionally or unavoidably, and placed the number of actual desertions at 201,397.* Of this number, 76,526 were arrested and sent to their regiments. The desertions were most frequent in the Regular Army, 16,365 men having deserted from that arm of the service during the war, a loss of over 24 per cent. , while in the volunteer Message and Documents, War Dept.; 1865-00.

In the Kansas troops the desertions exceeded 11 per cent, of the enrollment, the percentage being the highest of any State. In addition to the deserters, there were thousands of other absentees. In March, 1863, the returns of the Army of the Potomac showed that 2,922 officers and 81^964 enlisted men were absent, the majority of whom were absent without any known cause ; and in Decem ber, 1862, a return of the Army of the Cumberland showed that with 76,725 present there were 46,677 absent. Desertions were frequent among the drafted men, for their service was compulsory ; but there were not many of this class in the ranks. The Union Army was essentially a volunteer army. True, a conscription act was enforced ; but its provisions for exemption were so lenient that the number of drafted men actually held to service was only 52,068, a small num ber as compared with the total enlistment. In addition to the drafted men held to service, there were 75,429 conscripts who sent substitutes. These substitutes have generally been classed as mercenaries ; but they were men who went to the war without compulsion, and if they received money for the act it should be remembered that all the volunteers who enlisted during the latter part of the war received large bounties. Besides the substitutes just mentioned, there were 42,581 men who enlisted as substi tutes for men who, although not drafted, were enrolled under the Conscription Act and were liable to future drafts, but who secured exemption therefrom by sending men to the field in NUMBER OF TROOPS FROM EACH STATE. 533 TABLE D.

The best result of the Conscription Act was the stimulus which it gave to volunteering, rather than the number of men directly obtained by its enforcement. In Table F is given a comparative statement of troops furnished by each State, in pro portion to its population. The military population those between the ages of 18 and 45 as stated in the census of I860, is used as a basis for calculating the different percentages. The increase of the military population in 1861-62 was greater, proportionately, in the north-western States ; and, hence, if the percentage of men furnished were to be figured on a census of 1861-62, their ratios would be decreased more than those of the Atlantic States. It should be understood, also, that the military population was proportionately larger in the new States of the West than in the older States from whence so many of these people emigrated. For instance : in Maine, the white males between the ages of 18 and 45 formed 19.5 percent, of the whole population ; in New York, 20.8 ; in Kansas, 29.7 ; and in California, 47.1, the proportion increasing with the western immigration. From the statistics in Table F it appears that the States of Delaware and Indiana were preeminently loyal, contributing more largely in proportion to their military population than any of their sister Stairs. Some of the States, notably Connecticut, Kansas, Khode Island, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Illinois, furnished more men than the quotas demanded from them 53-t REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

In justice to the States which did not fill the quotas asked for, it should be stated that they either took exception to the figures upon which their quotas were based ; or, that they claimed that they had furnished men which were not credited to them, or had been credited to other States. The quotas demanded of the States in 1861 and 1862 were computed on a basis of the entire population, instead of the military class, and, consequently, bore harder on some of the Eastern States than on the newly-settled Western States, which had a larger military popula tion, proportionately, to draw from. Subsequent levies, however, were based on a military enrollment made in each Congressional District by the officials of the Provost-Marshal- General. But the results obtained in Table F require modification in order that the statement may be complete and fair. The figures for the number of men furnished include the long and short enlistments, and favor certain States whose troops contained a larger proportion of three months men or regiments with other short terms of enlistment. Some States, also, fur nished money in commutation for soldiers, and in statistics like those of Table F it may be deemed that money was not a complete offset for men. Then, again, the military popula tion, as enumerated in the census of 1860, embraced white males only, while the troops cred ited in Table F to the various States include the colored soldiers from those States ; and although these colored troops were, in some States, a serious drain upon - the agricultural resources of the community, they formed no part of the military population in question, and might be considered as unfairly influencing the comparative percentages.

Kentucky is credited in this table with a low percentage, but it should be remembered that this State furnished 23, 703 colored troops, which do not enter into tins calculation. Maryland and Missouri also supplied the army with a large contingent for the same arm of the service. The percentages of men supplied, large as they are, fail to do full justice to the States, because the military ages included many who were exempt from service on account of physical defects or infirmities ; and hence the actual proportion of able-bodied men furnished would in each case be correspondingly larger than the one stated. Although the Border States are credited with a lower percentage, their record is a highly meritorious one. While the more Northern States were confronted with the questions of a war, the border States had to deal with the additional and more serious ones arising from a civil war ; a strife in which brother would be arrayed against brother, neighbor against neighbor, and which would be characterized by all the terrible and distracting scenes engendered by such a contest. They were slave-holding States, but they resisted all importu nities to join the Confederacy, and remained loyal to the Union, although they knew full well that such action would transfer the war to their own fields. Missouri knew that by remaining in the Union her counties would be overrun by guerrilla bands and predatory inva sions ; Kentucky sturdily refused all overtures from the Confederacy, although it was plain ( \si U/PIKS IN TIII, NAVY. 537 that the State would thus become once more " the dark and bloody battle ground " of history ; Maryland remained steadfast, and her fields resounded with the tread of armies and the roar of battle : and, in West Virginia, loyal regiments were formed of refugees who had left their homes, their fields, and barns in the hands of a ruthless enemy. It meant something to be loyal on the Border. And, yet, these States responded promptly to the calls of the National Government for troops, one of them surpassing all others in its lavish supply of men and money, while the others filled their quotas and did it without a bounty or a draft. The slave-holding States of Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, District of Columbia, Kentucky, and Missouri, not only remained true to the old flag, but furnished 301,002 men for the loyal support of ail Admin istration that received scarcely a vote within all their borders. CASUALTIES IN THE NAVY. The number of men in the naval service during the war was 132,554, of whom 7,000 were already in the service at the outbreak of hostilities. There were 1,804 killed and mortally wounded in battle. This includes 342 who were scalded to death, while in action, by escaping steam from boilers which had been pierced by the enemy s shot ; also, 308 men drowned inaction. The latter were men who went down with their ships, their flag fly ing, and their guns firing defiantly from port-holes level with the waves. In addition to the 1,804 who lost their lives in battle, there were 2,226 wounded who survived their injuries. The deaths in the navy from disease and accidents numbered 3,000. This includes 71 deaths from accidents ; 265 from accidental drowning ; 37 scalded ; and 1)5 deaths in Confed erate prisons. Unlike the army, the mortality from disease was, apparently, not in excess of the normal death rate of civil life. Subjoined will be found a tabulation of the principal naval losses in action during the war. If some of the casualties appear trivial, let it be remembered that on most of the vessels named the crews were small ; and that the loss of life, in proportion to the number engaged, was as serious as at Trafalgar or the Nile. The losses in many cases include men who were scalded to death, and men who were drowned ; but losses from such causes belong properly with the casualties, as much so as wounds from shot or shell. They were among the dire probabilities in every action, deadly and terrible dangers which had to be confronted as well as the guns of the enemy. The changes in the methods of naval warfare, first introduced in the American War, brought a class of casualties hitherto unknown in naval combats. Our sailors fought in previous wai-s without the terrible danger from exploding boilers and escaping steam ; and when their slowly-sinking wooden ships went down in action, there were opportunities for escape far different from any offered on an iron-clad sent rushing to the bottom by the explosion of a modern torpedo. In the action at St. Charles, the gunboat Mound City lost 150 men, killed or wounded, out of a crew of 175, but 3 officers and 22 men escaping uninjured ; S2 were killed by gunshot wounds, or scalded* to death, and 43 others were drowned, or shot while struggling in the water. When the iron-clad Tecumseh led the column of monitors across the torpedo line at Mobile, f it moved as a forlorn hope which would not have been necessary in the naval combats of previous wars. In all that grand drama of heroism incidental to the Civil Wai-. tln> Navy played no secondary part. * During tin- c-Mi:.iir -mi-nt -i u pound shell entered a casement, killing three men on its flight and then exploding the steam-drum. t As the TecmnM-h. T. A < i -IVI-M. commander, went into action at Mobile Bay, it struck a torpedo and sank Instantly. The vessel "went down head foremost, h.-r -.,-rew plainly visible in the air for a moment to the enemy, that waited for her. not two hundred yards off, on the other side of the fatal line. It wa< then that Craven did one of those deeds that should he always linked with the doer s name, as Sidney s is with the cup of cold water. Th- pilot and he instinctively made for the narrow opening leading to the turret bolow. Craven drew back ; After you, pilot, he said. There was 110 afterward for him ; the pilot was saved, but he went down with his ship." [Navy in the Civil War; Mahan. 538 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

THE GREATEST BATTLES OP THE WAR - - LIST OF VICTORIES AND DEFEATS - CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF BATTLES WITH LOSS IN EACH, UNION AND CON FEDERATE. ETTYSBURG was the greatest battle of the war ; Antietam was the bloodiest. The largest army was assembled - - by the Confederates, at the Seven Days ; by the Union ists, at the Wilderness. Gettysburg may be considered as the greatest battle for various reasons. The strategic issues involved were the most important ; it was the turning point in the fortunes of the Confederates ; the contending armies were not only large, but were at their best in point of discipline and experience ; while the loss of life exceeded that of any other battle field of the war. Antietam was the bloodiest battle. More men were killed on that one day than on any other one day of the war. There were greater battles, with greater loss of life, but they were not fought out in one day as at Antietam. At Gettysburg, Chancellorsville and Spotsyl- vania, the fighting covered three days or more ; at the Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Shiloh, Stone s River, Chickamauga and Atlanta the losses were divided between two days of fight ing ; but, at Antietam, the bloody work commenced at sunrise, and by four o clock that afternoon it was over. At the Seven Days battle, Lee s army numbered 94,138* effective men actually engaged, exclusive of non-combatants. There were present, 194 regiments and 16 battalions of infantry ; 8 regiments and 6 battalions of cavalry ; and 59 batteries of light artillery, equiv alent, in all, to 220 regiments. The casualty lists show that each of these commands was engaged, and they specify the loss in each. It was a grand army, composed of the flower of Southern manhood, and Lee never led its like again. At the Wilderness, Gen. Grant s army, including the Ninth Corps, numbered 118,T69f effective men and 310 pieces of artillery. It included 236 regiments and 3 battalions of infantry ; 35 regiments of cavalry ; and 64 batteries of light artillery. They were veteran regiments, whose riven banners had waved amid the smoke of many hard fought fields. But these figures represent the fighting men only, and the armies of Lee and Grant, as a whole, were really larger than these figures indicate. On April 30, 1864, there were in the Army of the Potomac 19,095 men on "extra or daily duty," and 931 more in arrest, all of whom were present with Grant s army at the Wilderness, in addition to the number who * Some historians have accepted a Confederate official "estimate" which puts Lee s effective strength at 80,702. But this will not do. There were too many infantry commands, unquestionably present and engaged, to warrant any such figures. The Confederate official reports of brigade and regimental commanders, for the Seven Days, including Gen. I). II. Hill s statement of the strength of his division. ---state, in the majority of cases, the number of men taken info action by tho brigade or regiment. From these reports it appears that 105 infantry regi ments took 45,317 men into action, an average of 431 men to a regiment. Again, Gen. Longstreet, in an official communication. June 23, 1802, gives the number " present " in each of his Virginia regiments and batteries, from which statement it appears that 23 regiments averaged 440 men present, with one battalion which numbered 213 present, and that 17 batteries averaged 71 men per battery. t On April 30, 1804, the Army of the Potomac reported 90,438 " present for duty equipped; " and Burnside reported, in addition, 19,&31 mon in the Ninth Corps, which at that time constituted a separate command, although attached to the Army of the Potomac. This does not include the Army of the James, which, under command of Gen, Butler, was attacking Richmond at the same time, from the south side (540) GREATEST BATTLES OF THE WAR. 541 were " present for duty equipped." The Army of the Potomac, according to the morning report of April 30, 1864, had an "aggregate present" of 127,471, not including the Ninth Corps.* As regards the loss in the Union armies, the greatest hattles of the war were : Date.

In connection with these matters the question naturally arises,-- Which were victories, and which were defeats ? To answer fairly and without prejudice would only invite bitter and senseless criticism from both sides. It is too soon to attempt any discussion of this much vexed topic. Still, there are certain conceded facts relative to this matter which one might venture to recall to mind. They may be premised with the military axioms, that when an army retains pos session of the battle field and buries its enemy s dead, it certainly cannot be considered as a defeated army ; and that when an army abandons the field, either slowly or in rout, and leaves its dead and wounded in the hands of the enemy, it certainly should not claim a victory. In the following named battles the Union armies remained in undisturbed possession of the field, the enemy leaving many of their wounded and most of their dead unburied: Rich Mountain, W. Va.

Ezra Chapel, Ga. Franklin, Tenn. Fort Stedman, Va. Other instances on each side could be mentioned, but they would Invite discussion and are better omitted. There were 112 battles in the war, in which one side or the other lost over 500 in killed and wounded. In all, there were 1,882 general engagements, battles, skirmishes, or affairs in which at least one regiment was engaged. With this chapter is given a chronological list of the battles and minor engagements, showing the loss in each. The figures are compiled from the battle reports and revised casu alty lists in the "Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies," published, or in process of publication, by the War Department at Washington. The figures in the table of Confederate losses are the ones officially reported by the Con federate generals in command, or by their surgeon-general, to whom, in many instances, that duty seems to have been entrusted. There are no official Confederate casualty reports for the latter part of the war, and so there is no statement of loss for several battles. Estimates might be quoted, but such figures are not within the province of this work. BATTLES AND LOSSES. 543 LOSSES, BY BATTLES.- -UNION ARMIES. Date. Engagements.

CHAPTER XV. CONFEDERATE LOSSES STRENGTH OF THE CONFEDERATE ARMIES CASUAL TIES IN CONFEDERATE REGIMENTS LIST OF CONFEDERATE GENERALS KILLED LOSSES IN THE CONFEDERATE NAVY. >~pHE eleven States of the Southern Confederacy had, in 1860, a military population of -^ 1,064,193 with which to confront the 4,559,872 of the sains class, belonging to the other States and Territories. This number was largely supplemented during each successive year of the war by those who attained their eighteenth year of age, at which time they became liable to military duty.* The phrase " military population," as used in the Eighth Census, represented the white males between the ages of 18 and 45, and included all who were unfit for military duty on account of physical or mental infirmities. These exempts which include, also, all cases of minor defects constitute, in every country, one-fifth of the military population, f But the Confederate recruiting officers did not insist on any high standard of physical requirements. Their need was too pressing ; and they accepted all recruits or conscripts except those whose disabilities manifestly incapacitated them for military service. The Confederate States, however, could send to the war a far greater proportion of their military population than the Northern States, as they possessed a large agricultural population of blacks who were exempt from military service. The aggregate enrollment of the Confed erate Armies during the whole war, according to their best authorities, numbered over 600,000 effective men ; of whom not over 400,000 were enrolled at any time.:}: These eleven States furnished, also, 86,009 men to the Union Armies, receiving in return over 19,000 men from the Border. Many will hold, and with good reasons, that 600,000 is too low an estimate for the total number that served in the Confederate Armies. Their military population and sweeping conscription acts indicate more. The number of regiments which served continously during the war indicate more. A compilation made from the official rosters of the Confederate Armies as they stood at various battles, and at various dates covering the entire period of the war, shows that the different States kept the following number of regimental organizations in almost continuous service in the field : *During the four years immediately following the census of 1800, the military population of the eleven Southern States was increased over 200, 000 by the youths who attained their eighteenth year. At the same time, the military population of the other States and Territories was incr eased over 900,000 from the same source. The loss from those who passed their forty-fifth year was only half of the number gained from those arriving at 18 years, while such of the former as were already in the Army, were still held to service. tThe large number of persons who are unfit for military duty is shown in the following figures : Army.

AGGREGATE 529 regiments, and 85 battalions of infantry ; 127 regiments and 47 battalions of cavalry ; 8 regiments and 1 battalion of partisan rangers 5 regiments and 6 battalions of heavy artillery ; and 261 batteries of light artillery. In all, equivalent to 764 regiments of 10 companies each. These were all troops of the line, and they served during the whole, or the greater part of the war. The number does not include regiments which served a short time only ; neither does it include disbanded or consolidated regiments ; nor State militia, Junior Reserves, Senior 1 1 -serves. Homo Guards, L<-.-il Defense regiments, and separate companies. And, yet, these miscellaneous organizations rendered effective service at times, and took the place of regular troops. The Petersburg intrenchments on June 15, 1864, were held successfully by militia men during the first assault, until the arrival of Lee s army. Partisan bands like Moseby s and John Morgan s kept ten times their number of Union cavalry employed in protecting the territory in which they operated, or in watching their movements. The question arises, next, as to the average enrollment of the Confederate regiments. That known, the strength of their armies could be soon computed. The rolls of the North Carolina regiments have been printed and, with the eight regiments of Junior and Senior Reserves not included in the foregoing list, show a total enrollment of 125,000 men. These rolls, incomplete as they necessarily are, show that twenty-two of the North Carolina regi- Some of these regiments were not mounted. tThere were 87 Virginia batteries in action at Gettysburg. 554: REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. ments numbered over 1,500 men, each ; and some of them over 1,800. The Confederacy organized but few new regiments after 1862 ; the recruits and conscripts were assigned to the old regiments to keep them up to an effective strength. The total loss of the Confederate Armies in killed and mortally wounded will never be definitely known, and can be stated only in round numbers. A summing up of the casualties at each battle and minor engagement using official reports only, and in their absence accepting Confederate estimates indicates that 94,000 men were killed or mortally wounded on the Confederate side during the war. In the report for 1S65-6, made by General James B. Fry, United States Provost Marshal- General, there is a tabulation of Confederate losses as compiled from the muster-rolls on file in the Bureau of Confederate Archives. The returns are incomplete, and nearly all the Alabama rolls are missing. Still the figures are worth noting, as they show that at least 74,524 were killed or died of wounds ; and, that 59,297 died of disease. From Gen. Fry s tabulation the following abstract is made : DEATHS IN CONFEDERATE ARMIES. STATE. KILLED. DIED OF WOUNDS. DlKD OP DISEASE. Officers. En. Men. Total. Officers. En. Men. Total. Officers. En. Men.

As it is, the extent of such increase must remain a matter of con jecture. The Union rolls were examined at the same time , and a similar tabulation of the number killed appears, also, in General Fry s report. But this latter number was increased 15,000 by a subsequent revision based upon the papers known as " final statements." and upon newly-acquired information received through affidavits filed at the Pension Bureau. To understand the full meaning of these figures one must keep in mind the sparse popu lation of these States. Their military population in 1801 was : Alabama 99,967 | Louisiana.. 83,456 Arkansas 65, 231 Florida 15,739 Georgia 111,005 Mississippi 70, 295 North Carolina. 115,369 South Carolina. 55,046 Tennessee 159, 353 Texas .. 92,145 Virginia . 196,587 *Total. 1,064,193 Of this number, Tennessee furnished 31,0i>2 to the Union Armies ; and the western counties of Virginia - - afterwards set apart as West Virginia --furnished 31,872 men. *In all countries except newly-settled territories the males included in the military ages, of 18 to 45, constitute one-fifth of the entire population. CONFEDERATE LOSSES. 555 From the preceding figures it appeal s that South Carolina lost in killed over 23 per cent. of her entire military population ; and that North Carolina lost over 17 per cent. Add to this the loss by disease, and the maimed or crippled for life, and the result becomes extraordinary ill its heroic aspect. The Confederate Armies lost, in the aggregate, nearly 10 per cent, in killed or mortally wounded. The average loss in the Union Armies was 5 per cent.* But in the latter there were over 300 regiments which were not in action, with as many more which were under fire but a few times. A large part of the Union Armies was used in protecting communications, guarding lines of supplies, in garrison duty, and as armies of occupation. The Confederate regiments were all at the front, and, although repeatedly filled up with recruits, were held there until many of them were worn out by the constant attrition. For these reasons it is evident that although the Confederate Armies were much smaller, their losses were not necessarily smaller in proportion. Their generals displayed a wonderful ability in always confronting the enemy with an equal force at the point of contact. What mattered Hooker s extra thousands at Chancellorsville ? In two corps not a shot was fired. What if Meade did have 20,000 more men at Gettysburg than Lee ? The Sixth Corps lay in reserve. But in these battles, as in others, every Confederate regiment was put in and not relieved until they had lost killed and wounded men by the score. The aggregate of killed and mortally wounded in the Confederate Armies during the war was 16,000 less than in the Union Armies ; or, adding the usual proportion of wounded, a difference of about 60,000, killed and wounded, in favor of the Confederates. Up to 1864 the aggregate of losses on each side was substantially the same. There was a small percentage in favor of the Confederates up to that time ; but, if their casualty lists could be subjected to the same revision as that recently applied to the nominal casualty lists of the Union Armies, it is probable that their official returns as thus corrected would show an increase which would largely offset the difference prior to 1864. The excess of 16,000 killed, in the Union aggregate -or, its equivalent of 60,000 in killed and wounded occurred almost wholly in the campaigns of 1864-5. The severity of the losses among the Confederates, and the heroic persistency with which they would stand before the enemy s musketry, becomes apparent in studying the official returns of various regiments. At Gettysburg, the 26th North Carolina, of Pettigrew s Brigade, Heth s Division, went into action with an effective strength which is stated in the regimental official report as "over 800 men." They sustained a loss, according to Surgeon-General Guild s report, of 86 killed and 502 wounded ; total, 588. In addition there were about 120 missing, nearly all of whom must have been wounded or killed ; but, as they fell into the enemy s hands, they were not included in the hospital report. This loss occurred mostly in the first day s fight, where the regiment encountered the 151st Pennsylvaniaf and Cooper s Battery, of Rowley s Brigade, Doubleday s Division. The Quartermaster of the 26th, who made the official report on July 4th, states that there were only 216 left for duty after the fight on the 1st inst. The regiment then participated in Pickett s charge, on the third day of the battle, in which it attacked the position held by Smyth s Brigade, Hays s Division, Second Corps. On the following day it mustered only 80 men for duty, the missing ones having fallen in the final and unsuccessful charge. In the battle of the first day, Captain Tuttle s company went into action with 3 officers and 84 men ; all of the officers and 83 of the men were killed or wounded. On the same day, and in the same brigade (Pettigrew s), Company C, of the Eleventh North Caro lina, lost 2 officers killed, and 34, out of 38, men killed or wounded ; Captain Bird, of this company, with the four remaining men, participated in the charge on the 3d of July, and of In some brigades it rau from 15 to 30 per cent. +The 151st Penn. lost 885 at Gettysburg, killed, wounded, and missing. 556 REGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. these the flag-bearer was shot, and the captain brought out the flag himself.* This loss of the 26th North Carolina, at Gettysburg, was the severest regimental loss during the war. The next instance, in point of numerical loss, is that of the 6th Alabama Colonel John B. Gordon at Fair Oaks. This regiment was then in Rodes s Brigade of D. H. Hill s Divi sion, which in this fight was pitted against Naglee s Brigade of Casey s Division. The regi ment lost 91 killed, 277 wounded, and 5 missing ; total, 373, out of about 632 engaged. In the same battle, and in D. H. Hill s Division also, the Fourth North Carolina, of G. B. Anderson s Brigade, sustained a loss of 77 killed, 286 wounded, and 6 missing ; total, 369, out of 678 engaged. At Gaines s Mill the First South Carolina Rifles, Gregg s Brigade, A. P. Hill s Division, charged a battery which was supported by the Duryee Zouaves. The Rifles lost in this affair, 81 killed, 234 wounded, and 4 missing ; total, 3113, out of 537 engaged. At Stone s River the Eighth Tennessee, of Donelson s Brigade, Cheatham s Division, lost 41 killed and 265 wounded ; total, 306, out of 4-U engaged. The 8th sustained the principal part of this loss while engaged with some troops of Sheridan s Division, and in a successful charge on Houghtaliiig s Battery, in which they captured several pieces of artillery from that and other batteries. The severest losses are not always the largest numerically. To understand the extent of a regimental loss in any particular battle, one must know the number of men taken into action by the regiment. Many of the Confederate Colonels were intelligent and thoughtful enough in making their battle reports, to mention in connection with the casualties, the number of men engaged, without which all such statements convey no definite idea. By doing so they have, in many instances, secured for their regiments an honored place in history which otherwise would have been lost.

They represent only the few cases in which the official reports happened to mention the number of effectives taken into action, and which, again, happened to appear before the order was issued, forbidding any further mention in official reports of the strength in action. Equally surprising percentages are found in the brigade reports : BRIGADE LOSSES. . Present. Killed. Wounded. Missing.

During the Seven Days Battle, Longstreet s Division lost in the actions at Gaines s Mill and Glendale 766 killed, 3,435 wounded and 237 missing ; total, 4,438, out of 8,831 engaged, or, 50.2 per cent. Nor was this an uncommon loss. The official reports of Confederate Division-Generals, though lacking the figures necessary for a statement of an exact percentage, often indicate plainly a division-loss in killed and wounded of over forty per cent. Through four years of desperate war and its score of battles these excessive percentages divided and subdivided the ranks, until the end came and with it a division which was merely a thing of shreds and patches. The official report for Garnett s brigade says : "It is feared from the information received that the majority of those reported missing are either killed or wounded." tThis loss occurred in the two actions at Gaines s Mill and Glendale. ^General Donelson stated the number in his official report at " about 1,400 men." CONFEDERATE LOSSES. 559 If each regiment in the preceding list had fought in no other hattle than the one men tioned in connection with it, the record would still be a heroic one ; but the battle mentioned was one of a score of bloody contests, in each of which the gallant command was decimated, In fact, any regiment in the American War considered itself fortunate if it could come out of a battle with no greater loss than decimation. But, in May, 1863, General Lee issued an order which has an important l>earing on the subject of regimental casualties in the Confederate Army : HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA. GENERAL ORDERS, No. 63. MAY 14, 1863. The practice which prevails in the Army of including in the list of casualties those cases of slight injuries which do not incapacitate the recipients for duty, is calculated to mislead our friends, and encourage our enemies, by giving false impressions as to the extent of our losses. The loss sustained by a brigade or regiment is by no means an indication of the service performed or perils encoun tered, as experience shows that those who attack most rapidly, vigorously, and effectually generally suffer the least. It is, therefore, ordered that in future the reports of the wounded shall only include those whose injuries, in the opinion of the medical officers, render them unfit for duty. It has also been observed that the published reports of casualties are in some instances accompanied by a statement of the number of men taken into action. The commanding general deems it unnecessary to do more than direct the attention of officers to the impropriety of thus furnishing the enemy with the means of computing our strength, in order to insure the immediate suppression of this pernicious and useless custom. By command of General Lee. W. H. TAYLOR, Assistant Adjutant-General. If this order was observed, it is evident that all subsequent casualty lists are of little value for statistical purposes ; and, if enforced, that many a gallant regiment has been deprived of the laurels to which its heroic record would have entitled it. The effect of this order is manifest in the tone of the official reports made by the regi mental commandants at the next battle. For instance : I herewith respectfully submit a detailed statement of casualties, giving names and description of wounds in full, from which I have omitted all slight wounds which, though sufficient to disable a man for a day or two, will not prevent his taking part in the next battle, say a week or ten days from the time the hurt was received. [Official report of Ninth Georgia, for Gettysburg.] Below I submit a list of killed, wounded, and missing. The wounded include only those disabled indefinitely. Quite a number were temporarily disabled by slight wounds, but resumed their duties in a few days ; hence I make no mention of them in this report. [Official report of Colonel V. H. Manning, Third Arkansas ; for Gettysburg.]* This order lays too much stress upon the hackneyed assertion that losses are by no means an indication of the service performed or perils encountered. Such statements have, indeed, proved true in a few particular instances ; but, in only a few. They were exceptions which only proved the rule. A study of regimental actions shows clearly that the battalions which faced musketry the steadiest, longest, and ofteuest were the ones whose aggregate loss during the war was the greatest. Fighting regiments leave a bloody wake behind them ; retreating regiments lose few men. At Chancellors ville, the heaviest losses were in the corps that stood; not in the one that broke. In the following table is given the leading regiments, in point of loss, at various battles. The list is incomplete, as there are few Confederate official reports for the latter part of the war. Still the record is one which will ever redound to the credit of American manhood, and to the glory of the American soldier. The originals are not italicised. 560 KEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR.

The record of casualties in the Confederate Navy is not a startling one. Nevertheless, the Confederate seamen, in every action, fought their ships to the last extremity, and made a record which, for heroism, skill, and enterprise, will challenge the attention of the historical student as long as the story of the war is told. With crippled resources, and under discouraging circumstances, vessels were constructed which revolutionized the entire system of naval warfare, and although the flag of the Con federate Navy went down in ultimate ruin and defeat, it will survive in the history of the world s navies as the flag which waved over the first iron-clad.

Confederate Navy: Scbarf. 574 EEGIMENTAL LOSSES IN THE CIVIL WAR. IN CONCLUSION. Every story, even a statistical one, has its moral, and some suggestions pertinent to the subject seem proper here. The official records of the Civil War, though voluminous and rich in valuable information, are too often deficient in the facts essential to a proper statement of a regimental loss in action. Only a few of the regiments, comparatively, made official reports for the actions in which they were engaged. After a hard-fought battle the regimental commandant would, perhaps, write a long letter to his wife detailing the operations of his regiment, and some of his men would send to their village paper an account of the fight, but no report would be forwarded officially to headquarters. Many colonels regarded the report as an irksome and unnecessary task ; something to be avoided if possible, something to be attended to only when compelled by the repeated urging of a superior. They were evidently not aware that their only chance to gain a place for their regiment in the archives of history was through the medium of such returns. Of the official battle reports which were made by regimental commandants, but few gave the figures for their casualties. Hard fighting and heavy losses were often claimed, but as these terms were used without discrimination they became meaningless. Sometimes allusion was made to a nominal list of casualties appended, but its totals were not included in the report, and so when the accompanying list was lost, as was often the case, there was nothing to show what the colonel s idea of a heavy loss was. Again, mention was seldom made of the number of men taken into action, without which any statement of casualties was, to a large extent, meaningless, and for purposes of comparison was worthless. In the nominal lists of wounded men no distinction was made between the mortally, seriously, or slightly wounded ; and the list of missing failed to show whether the men were captured or belonged to the class whose fate was unknown. Too often, no return of cas ualties whatever was made. As a result the statistics of our last war are, in many instances, meager and unsatisfactory ; and, in some cases are wanting entirely. At the close of a war the Government should be able to publish the regimental losses in form similar to Dr. Engel s " Verluste der deutscheii Armeen irn Kriege gegen Frankreich, 1870 und 1871," an admirable official work which was given to the public by the German Government. The Staff of the German Army directed successfully the operations of a great war, but they still found time to supervise carefully the items of the " butcher s bill." In a conversation with the late Colonel Robert N. Scott, U. S. A.,* concerning these matters, that officer remarked, "We will do these things better in the next war." The question arises, will the "we" of the future do these things any better? In. the turmoil and excitement will not "these things" be again overlooked, and gallant regiments be again dis banded without leaving scarcely a trace to show how well they fought ? Will not History be again neglected or despoiled ? Is it asking too much that, now, in time of peace, the National Military Academy provide in its course of instruction against any repetition of such neglect. Or, if such provision belongs within the province of the Adjutant -General s department, let the Blue Book containing the United States Army Regulations include the blank forms and paragraphs of instruction necessary to such end. Editor of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, as published by the War Department. IN CON< i.rsioN. 575 In future wars the rule requiring regimental commandants to hand in an official report after each battle, should be rigidly enforced. Each colonel should he instructed to order a count made of his men just before going into action, instead of referring to the morning report for information regarding the strength of his command. Commandants should not only hand in a casualty list, but should see that it is properly classified, and that a copy is promptly transmitted to the proper bureau or to some place of safety. The totals of the casualty list should be included in the official report, accompanied by an accurate statement of the number of officers and men in line or actually engaged. In each regiment there should be some officer, attached to the non-commissioned staff, who should be entrusted with the care and preparation of the regimental statistics and casualty lists ; and this person should be exempted from all liability to accidents in battle, and should not be allowed to go into action. During such times as the regiment was not engaged in an active campaign, this officer would find ample employment in ascertaining tin- fate of missing men, and of the wounded and sick who were absent in hospital or on furlough. All statements of casualties in battle made by him should be accompanied by a report of the number engaged, and such statements, together with all other mortuary i e|K>rts, should be made in manifold, one copy to be forwarded to the War Department and one to the Adjutant-General of the State to which the regiment belonged. There should, also, be a definite agreement between belligerents that all captured records of this class should not be destroyed ; and, that a full record should be carefully made of the fate of all prisoners within their respective lines. To all this some may sneer and some will say, " Cut bono /" If so, let it be remembered that there are other reasons than money or patriotism which induce men to risk life and limb in war. There is the love of glory and the expectation of honorable recognition. But the private in the ranks expects neither. His identity is merged in that of his regiment. To him the regiment and its name is everything. He does not expect to see his own name on the page of history, and is content with a proper recognition of the old command in which he fought. But he is jealous of the record of his regiment, and demands credit for every shot it faced and every grave it filled. The bloody laurels for which a regiment contends will always be awarded to the one with the longest Roll of Honor. Scars are the true evidence of wounds, and the regimental scars can be seen only in the record of its casualties. In our last war many a noble regiment lost the place in history to which it was entitled through a failure to file the proper records of its gallant deeds.

Sent by mail or express, prepaid, on receipt of prk Address, ALBANY PUBLISHING CO., Box 219, Albany, N. Y. A How many men did your regiment lose? How many men did your neighbor s regiment lose? An answer to these and similar questions will be found in this admirable historical work. The number of deai in each regiment of the Union Armies is stated clearly, accurately, and for the first time. In addition to t number killed or mortally wounded in action, the deaths from disease or other causes are also stated for ea regiment, officers and men separately. The figures are authentic, having been compiled from the muster-out re on file at the Military Bureaus of the various State Capitals, and carefully revised by comparison with the offic records at Washington. The work is the result of the patient and conscientious labor of years. The tables containing the list of regiments and their losses are furnished with additional columns, showing t date of organization of each regiment and the division and corps to which it belonged. In addition to the pages which show the loss of each regiment, Chapter X (Three Hundred Fighti Regiments) is devoted to the 300 regiments which sustained the heaviest losses in action during the war. Each these commands is accorded a full quarto page, in which the losses are given in detail, by companies, togetb with a list of battles in which the regiment was engaged, showing its loss in each, and a short historical sketch the regiment. Chapter XIV gives a complete chronological list of battles, with the official figures for the casualties in each, lately revised and corrected at the War Department. Chapter XI contains, also, a complete list of battles, but shows the particular regiments which sustained t heaviest loss in each battle, and the figures for their respective losses, together with the division and corps. Chapter II gives a list containing every regiment which sustained a loss, in killed or mortally wounded, of ov fifty, in any one engagement, with the statement of loss, battle, division, and corps. Similar lists, show! percentages of loss as based on the number present in action, also form a prominent and important feati: of the work. Chapter VIII gives a complete historical sketch of each corps ; and Chapter IX treats of famous divisio and brigades, with statements of their total losses during the war.

KIND WORDS. From General William T. Sherman : " I have just concluded a perusal of the volume of statistical tables and other data entitled Regimental Losses in the American Civil War, and want to assure you, even at this early moment, of the great value I place on the same. The volume bears every evidence of a laborious task, and you are certainly to be complimented for the great zeal which has characterized you in this connection. * * *" Very sincerely yours, W. T. SHERMAN, General. From Major-General Henry W. Slocum: " I have examined with great interest the excellent work, Regimental Losses in the Civil War. I am confident that it will be regarded by those who participated in the struggle as the most valua ble historical work issued since the close of the war. I wish to express my sincere thanks to you for the many years of labor you must have spent in collecting and placing in such compact form such a great mass of valuable information relative to the war." _____ From Mr. J. W. Kirkley (ist Md. Vols.), Statistician of the War Department, Washington, D. C.: " I am delighted with it. * * I shall prize it highly." From Major-General Daniel E. Sickles : " It is a very valuable contribution to the annals of the Rebellion, and will be perused with deep interest by students of history, by those who took part in the war, and by their descendants." From William Todd, author of " The Tgtli New York Highlanders :" " Fox s Book of Martyrs is a success. The coming historian will find it the best book to steal from of any yet published." From Major-General Russell A. Alger, of Michigan: "A work of this kind should lie in the library of every Grand Army post, and I am sure every old soldier, who is able, will want a copy of it in his own home." From Hon. George Bancroft, the Historian : " 1 find it excel lent in its completeness and accuracy." From General JV. M. Curtis, the "Hero of Fort Fisher :" " I especially commend the work because it corrects many of the fallacious ideas regarding this matter of losses in action. At the same time justice is rendered to many regiments hitherto unnoticed, and attention called to their brilliant records. This whole subject of regimental losses has, up to the appearance of Colonel Fox s book, been an unwritten chapter of the war, and I esteem it fortunate for the cause of history that the work has been so ably done." From General Francis A. Walker, autlior of History Second Army Corps ; Supt. of Tenth U. S. Census ; Prest. of American Statistical Association, Boston, Mass.: "I have received the work, Regimental Losses in the Civil War, and have gone through it again and again, always with more and more satisfaction at the excellent service rendered to military his tory and military statistics." From Benson J. Lasting, the Historian : " When the future historian of the Civil War shall, in the earlier decades of the 2oth century with all the accumulated information concerning that stupendous and beneficent event under take his easier task, he will find among his treasure no work more accurate, impartial, sadly suggestive and instructive than this volume." From Gtii. C/ias. J . Mattocks (late Colonel I7th Maine): " I have never, since the war, read a book with greater interest. I consider it one of the most valuable contribu tions to war literature which we have had." WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, March 21, 1889. Albany Publishing Co. GENTLEMEN : Please send to this department a copy of " Regimental Losses in the Civil War, by Wm. F. Fox, Lt.- Col. (J. S. V.," together with your bill for the same. Very respectfully, JOHN TWEEDALE, Chief Clerk. ADJUTANT-GENERAL S OFFICE, ) BOSTON, April 12, 1889. f GENTLEMEN : You will please consider this department a subscriber to " Regimental Losses in the Civil War," and on receipt of the volume in half morocco the cost ($7.50) will be remitted. Respectfully, SAMUEL DALTON, Adjutant-General. From the Philadelphia Press: "Regimental Losses in the Civil War," by Colonel William F. Fox, is an exhaustive compilation from official records of the casualties on both sides of the war. The labor has taken many years. The result is, perhaps, the most valuable history of the war that has been published. Here are not opinions, but facts. Many of the revelations of this important book will astonish the reader. From the Army and Navy Journal : Especially interesting are the figures of the regular regiments, commands which have hitherto been overlooked and well-nigh forgotten in the mass of volunteer records. The pages devoted to these gallant regiments attest the heroism with which they faced the enemy s musketry, and the record of casualties indicates plainly the hard fighting which they encountered. From the New York Tribune : This is a remarkable and valuable book, and will be read by any American, especially by every old soldier, with deep and pathetic interest. It is the result of patient and conscientious labor for years on the part of the author. Its value as a military work has been indorsed by Generals Slocum, Sherman, Sickles, Alger, Curtis, and other prominent soldiers; as a history, it has re ceived the warm approval of Lossing and other historians ; while its statistics have been highly praised by General Francis A. Walker, Joseph W. Kirkley, and other noted sta tisticians. Furthermore, the authenticity of its figures is evidenced by the purchase of copies by the War Department at Washington, and by the Adjutant-Generals of the various States. The number of deaths and of the killed and wounded in action, and the mortality from disease and other causes, are given in this book, for every regiment in the Union Army. They are given clearly, accurately and for the first time. From the Albany Argus : Chapter III, in which the losses of our regiments in particular engagements are compared with the losses of European regiments is one of the most interest ing and instructive chapters in the book. From the Grand Army Review : Availing himself of every attainable source of information, and the cordial cooperation of the Adjutant-Generals of the United States Army and the various States, he has boiled down and carefully sifted his material till the result is a monument to his patience, ability, and judicial fairness. He has given admirable brief histories of " Three Hundred Fighting Regiments," not necessarily the bravest, as he says, but those which the fortunes of war caused to endure the heaviest losses and to serve through most battles. From the Syracuse Herald : Colonel William F. Fox, of the State Forestry Commission, has just published one of the most valuable statistical works that has yet been put in print relative to the late Civil War. The publication of the official records of the Union and Confederate Armies by the Adjutant-General s office at Washington has been going on for many years, and it will be many years more before the work will be completed. As every one knows who has seen this work as far as it has progressed, it is altogether too large and bulky for individual possession. What Colonel Fox has done, in a word, is to reduce this ponderous publication to what might be called, in comparison, a hand-book. From the Nation : The treatise is absolutely free from all discussion of battles or campaigns in any tactical or strate gical sense. It deals with no might-have-beens, but confines itself strictly to a recital of facts without expression of opin ion upon the facts. This self-control is the more remarkable because of the author s intimate acquaintance with the fam ily history of the army, developed by the years of study that have gone into this book. This silence adds greatly to the value of the work. But it is a soldierly reticence, not the dullness of ignorance or indifference. He simply does not wander beyond his self-appointed lines. From the Grand Army Gazette : A very important feature of the work is the chapter containing the Corps histories, which cannot fail to interest every old veteran who wore a corps badge, or belonged to any one of those famous organizations. From the Detroit Free Press : The book is a large quarto, handsomely bound, an d the typographical treatment is of the best.
