It has been said that, "like the story of the cross to a Christian the story of a soldier's life to a patriot, with its potent of joys and sorrows, trials and pleasures, victories and defeats, never loses savor by repeating," and to you who read these lines commemorat- ing the services of one of the largest, best drilled and most effect- ive volunteer regiments in service of the United States during the Civil War, defending "the flag that makes us free" — the stars and stripes — on many a field of battle; suffering all that comprises the life of a true and brave soldier, that "this government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth," It is hoped by one who participated therein, the last days of wars may be near at hand, for none but those who have experienced its horrors can truly conceive its ravages. The camp, the march in pouring rain and excessive heat, or over frozen ground; on the lonely and death-expecting vidette line; the fire and smoke of battle; the suffering from hunger, thirst, wounds and disease; the pangs of worse than death realized in the horrible prison-pens of the South — all these have been realized by those of whom I write to an extent comparable with any other regiment during their time in active service, and their achievements in defence of freedom throughout "the land of the free and the home of the brave." The views and experiences of several survivors of the regiment, officers and enlisted men, are incorporated in this work to illustrate their version of events which make the history of the organization. To perpetuate the valor, deeds and memories of the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery (112th Regiment Pennsyl- vania Veteran Volunteers) this work is respectfully dedicated by THE AUTHOR.

CURTIN, "War Governor " of Pennsylvania. HISTORY OF THE Pennsylvania Yete!^an Heavy A!\tille-ry. CHAPTER I. ORGANIZATION. In the Summer of i86t, when the hfe or death of the nation depended on the support given by the sons of the Northern and Western States to maintain "the Union — one and indivisible/' much speculation as to the result of the war was indulged in by many who had not as yet be- come aware of the necessity of immediate action on their part, or who, in other words, had not been attacked with "war fever." Others, also, there were who did not con- sider patriotism even paramount to a business requisite, and who did not care how the war terminated so long as business favored them, and, consequently, were interested in nothing except their individual welfare. Yet, many such men, nevertheless, either through rous- ing of their patriotic blood or with personal motives in view, eventually became "a party to the transaction" as the war continued, and eventually became mixed up, in one way or another, unintentionalh^ in military affairs, terminating in their becoming participants in the war before its close. So it was, evidently, with some of the original officers of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, who, however, as 2 ORGANIZATION. will 1)6 seen, were early "weeded out," thus enabling its pa- triotic and sincere officers to make it one of the most desir- able and effective regiments in service during the war. At a restaurant on Xorth Second street, Philadelphia, in September, 1861, Charles Angeroth, James L. Anderson, David Sadler, Charles Roescher. John H. Oberteuffer, Sr., WilHam Candidus, Aaron P. Bilyeau and some other gentle- men, were cHscussing the merits and demerits of the then Commander of the Arm}^ of the Potomac, General George B. McClellan, who was in need of additional troops to in- sure success to his contemplated advance on the Confederate forces, when Mr. Sadler proposed raising a battahon of men for heavy artillery service, to take the place of troops then in the fortifications, and thus assist, in a measure. Gen. McClellan's "plan of campaign." The proposition was the means of bantering several of those present to enlist, and cuhninated in Mr. Angeroth making apphcation to the \Ya.r Department, through Hon. Andrew G. Curtin, the then Governor of Pennsylvania, for authority to recruit a body of men, to be commanded by those so doing, and to serve as heavy artillerymen. Anticipating a favorable reply to the application, re- cruiting was commenced at once, and on September 24, 1861, Henry L. Buck and Richard S. Lewis were enrolled, being the first recruits to the organization. On October i, authority was granted Charles Angeroth (who had the reputation of being a man with great military experience, gained in the armies of Germany and elsewhere ) bv General George B. McClellan, then in supreme command of the Army, at \\'ashington, to organize "a battalion or regiment of field or siege artillery." A recruiting office was established on Margaretta street, below Second, which was removed shortly thereafter to 506 Vine street, where is at present located the restaurant of Mrs. Stein, relict of Jacob Stein, who lent considerable aid in procuring recruits to the new organization, he having seen service with the first three months, or "emergency." men. OUCAMZATION. Efforts have been made to procure a copy of the order ant1iorizini>- the ori>-anization of this command, but GROUP OF OFFICERS without avail. Colonel McClure, to whom credit is due for much of the data contained in this Historv. writes: 4 . ORGANIZATION. "When authority was given me to recruit Co. F, I was shown the order giving Charles Angeroth, our first Colonel, authority to raise the regiments. It has long been a source of regret that I neglected to make and preserve a copy of that order, and a diligent efifort made to find it among the records and papers of the regiment in proper depart- ment at Harrisburg was unsuccessful. I am therefore obliged to rely upon my memory for the details of the order, which was issued and signed by Major-General George B. McClellan, then in supreme com- mand of the army at Washington." The authority to recruit the regiment stipulated that *'the officers and such enhsted men as were rec|uisite to drive find care for the necessary horses" were "to be mounted, top boots to be worn by all men, and the arms shall be sabres and revolvers (or carbines)." The organization was to be a "siege or field regiment, to conform to the regulations of the United States Regular Army." Inducements offered to join the organization were nu- merous and variegated. All kinds of assertions as to the light duty to be required of men were made, and in one or two instances the handbills of recruiting officers stipulated that "members of this regiment will have nothing to do — no marching required, and as quarters equal to most hotels will be provided in fortifications, the men will virtually be at home." The Captains were designated by the instigators of the organization, and the other officers for the several batteries were to be those who would secure the greatest number of recruits therefor. Sub-recruiting stations were opened in several localities, in and outside of Philadelphia. Battery A was recruited in Margaretta Street by Charles Auer and William Troost, Battery B was recruited at the Actien Brewery, or Actien Hall, as it was called, on Third Street, below Cal- lowhill, by Charles Shoenleber and Alexander Kost, Battery C's headquarters were on Second vStreet be- low Callowhill, Joseph Loeven and Erhardt Feidler being its recruiting officers. Battery D had its recruiting office on Second Street near Callowhill, David Sadler and Charles H. Beine being ORGANIZATION. 5 in chari^-e: also un Market Street ahoxe Seeond, where Nicholas Bagg's presided. Edward S. Rowaiid and J- H. Oberteuffer, Jr., re- cruited Battery E on Third Street above Arch. William M. McCltire, William Candidus, Jr., John AT. Wilson and Samuel D. Strawbridge recruited Battery F at Danville, Muncy, Bloomsburg and Philadelphia. Battery G was recruited by C. N. Cadwallader and James L. Anderson in the basement at the northwest corner of Sixth and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia. Battery H vras recruited by Thomas Wilhelm and John S. Jarden. on Fifth Street above xA.rch. Gusta\-us L. Braun and Charles Angeroth, Jr., recruit- ed Battery I at Second and Arch Streets. Battery K was recruited at Uniontown and thereabout by Amzi S. Fuller, John B. Krepps and Pressly Cannon. As soon as recruits were received, they were sent to Charles G. Zimmerman's Diamond Cottage, a pleasure re- sort in the suburbs of Camden, N. J., where a rendezvous camp was established, and where they w^re drilled in the "school of the company." There being no arms or clothing availal)le at that time, the men were in citizen dress, and armed with clubs when on guard duty, making it an easy matter to "run the guard," as very many did, and spent most of their time in the city of I'hiladelphia. As a large number of the men recruited in Philadel- phia at tliat time were Germans, and could not write or read English, many of the men in camp would write their own passes, and at a favorable time present them to a guard who was a German, who would look at it in a way to indicate he understood what was written, invariably saying "alle recht," and permit the bearer to pass out of the inclosure, many of whom would not return for several days. This, however, did not last a great while, for the officers soon discovered the practice, and caused but one exit to be used, where competent guards were stationed. The first Batteries to complete their complement of enlistments were D, G and H, and at ten o'clock on the O ORGANIZATION. morning- of Jannary 9, 1862, these three Batteries, nnder command of Captain James L. Anderson, were sent to Fort Delaware for garrison duty. A ferryboat furnished the means of transportation. These three Batteries were officered as follows : Battery D — Captain, David Sadler. 1st Lieutenant, Charles H. Beine. 1st Lieutenant, Nicholas Baggs. 2nd Lieutenant, Edward Longmire. 1st Sergeant, James Matthews. Battery G — Captain, James L. Anderson. 1st Lieutenant, C. N. Cadwallader. 1st Lieutenant, Richard 'M. Goundie. 2nd Lieutenant, Joseph N. Abhey. 1st Sergeant, Dennis M. Carroll. Battery H — Captain, Thomas Wilhelm. 1st Lieutenant, John S. Jarden. 1st Lieutenant. E. D. C. Loud. 2nd Lieutenant, Milton Benner. 2nd Lieutenant. John W. Hamilton. 1st Sergeant, Robert S. \\'harton. Hugo Theinhardt was the first bugler in the regiment. When the above-mentioned three Batteries arrived at Fort Delaware, Captain Anderson reported to Captain Au- gustus A. Gibson, of the U. S. A., who was in command there, and he assigned the several Batteries to quarters in- side the fort. The officers and men at once saw a vast difference in the life of a soldier as compared with that at "Camp Anger- oth," being made acquainted with the routine of real military service. A systematic course of instructions and drills were imparted to them. AAdien the weather and ground were suitable they would be taken outside the fort, so as to have more room to drill in marching and the movements of a soldier. Drills with the big guns in the casemates and on the barbette added very much to their feeling of influence. One night they were called up to stand by the guns, and were told the Confederate ram, called the "Merrimac," might come steaming up the Delaware, at any time, and if she should pass Fort Delaware, there would be nothing to prevent her laying Philadelphia under millions of dollars for tribute money. ORGANIZATION. 7 It soon developed that some men were unlit tor mili- tary duty, and the weedinj^- out process commenced at Fort Delaware. 1'hc clothing" fnrnislicd to the soldiers at Fort ] Delaware was of good quality and in sutticient quantity to make it noticeable and appreciated by the men themselves. During the stay at h'ort Delaware a soldier died and was buried with military lionors. To most of the men this was entirely a new experience, and on returning from the grave the lively airs played by the band was not in entire ac- cordance with tlieir previous notions of the correctness of things in good taste. Howe\-er, they soon learned that this was the proper thing at military funerals. The deceased soldier was First Sergeant James Matthews, of Battery D. Recruiting for the regiment continued, and the follow- ing Batteries were completed and mustered in : Januar}- 4, Battery E — Captain, Edward S. Rowand. Januarj^ 4, Battery F — Captain, William M. McClure. January 6, Battery A — Captain, Charles Aner. I"*ebruary 10. Battery I — Captain. Custavus L. Braun. Februar}^ 10, Battery C — Captain, Joseph Loeven. PVbruary 11, Battery K — Captain. Amzi S. Fuller. February 15, Battery B — Captain, Charles Roescher. The regiment was organized with the follinving as its first field and stalT ot^cers : Colonel, Charles Angeroth. Lieutenant Colonel. John H. Oberteuffer. Sr. Major, William Candidus. Adjutant, Charles G. Zimmerman. Quarter Master, Aaron P. Bilycau. Surgeon, Elisha Griswold. Asst. Surgeon, Richard H. Nevil. Chaplain, John H. Hassler. Sergeant Major, Paul L. Higgins. Quartermaster Sergeant, Wihi'Tii H- Melcher. Com. Sergeant, Wm. H. Berger. Hospital Steward, A. F. Schalhirdt. Chief Bugler, Hugo Theinhardt. On the 14th day of January three pieces of artillery were received at J3iamond Cottage, and the men were elated, although the "battery" consisted of one mortar, 8 ORGAXIZATION. one howitzer and one brass six-pound field piece. Never- theless, they gave standing to the organization as an artil- lery regiment, notwithstanding the regiment, at that time, was nsuallv termed ''the 112th Reoiment Pennsvlvania \^olnnteers," that being its number in line of Pennsylvania regiments organized. The first drill with "field guns" was had on the 23d of January, 1862, and great interest and pleasure was taken therein by both ofificers and men. The first battalion drill of the regiment took place on February 21st, Captain ]\IcClure and jNIajor Candidus directing the manoeuvres. On Sunday, February 2, 1862, the seven Batteries then at "Camp Angeroth" were ordered to "fall in" at 9 o'clock A. M. for divine services, after which they were marched to a German church in Philadelphia, where a discourse in German was listened to, the major portion of the men in attendance, however, not being conversant with the dialect used, understood little that was said by the pastor. The first death in the regiment was Frank Gray, of Battery E, who died from smallpox, and was buried in Odd tellows' Cemetery, Philadelphia, February 12, 1862. On Saturday, February 22 (\\'ashington's Birthday), the regiment was reviewed by Governor Andrew G. Curtin and members of the State Legislature, who addressed the officers and men and complimented them on their "fine appearance and devotion to the State of Pennsylvania mani- fested by volunteering to leave home and friends in defence of the principles of liberty and union." The seven Batteries then in camp at Diamond Cottage were ofticered as follows : Battery A — Captain, Charles Auer. 1st Lieutenant, William Troost. 1st Lieutenant, Charles Hauflear. 2nd Lieutenant, Otto Lutz. 1st Sergeant, William Gratznowsky. Battery B — Captain, Charles Roescher. 1st Lieutenant, Milton Benner. 1st Lieutenant, Alexander Kost. 2nd Lieutenant, ]\Iax Heine. 2nd Lieutenant, Frederick Mayer. 1st Sergeant, G. Pentle. Vtll GEN.

The seven Batteries were, on Monday, February 24, ordered to Washington, in obedience to which, at dayhght next (lay, tents were struck (most of which, however, were previously blown down l)y a violent wind storm during the night), and the command started for its destination at 12 o'clock, noon, going by way of the P., W. & B. Railroad, from foot of Washington avenue, Philadelphia, stopping first at the Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, Philadelphia, for dinner. Dinner over, the men formed in line on the street to receive tokens of regard from the patriotic citizens of Philadelphia, who were not satisfied with giving them a good dinner, but were there also to make glad the heart of the soldiers whose friends or relatives at home did not know, or did not consider, that life on the tented tield was not like that at home. ]Motherly-looking women passed along the lines with stockings for any soldier who wore woolen stockings or socks. Young ladies followed with needle cases, scissors, thread, buttons, etc., and any soldier who did lO ORGANIZATION. not have these articles was siipphed by those kind-hearted Philadelphia women. The fathers and brothers did not let their wives do all the kind acts. They were there with chewing tobacco, smoking tobacco and cigars. The tobacco was cut up in small squares. x-Xll those who had no money to buy tobacco were supplied with the weed. Leaving Philadelphia at 5.00 o'clock P. M., Baltimore was reached at 3 o'clock next morning. Here the command was dined at the "Soldiers' Rest," and being detained for want of transportation, did not leave Baltimore until 5 o'clock that evening. Arriving at Washington about 10 o'clock on the evening of the 26th, Colonel Angeroth reported to General Abner Doubleday, who assigned the regiment to the Artil- lery Division, District of Washington, doing duty in the earthworks on the North side of Washington, and the regi- ment then marched through mud and slush, more than ankle deep, to the "Soldiers' Rest," where it remianed over night. The next morning, after a poor night's rest from being overcrowded in the quarters allotted to them at the "Rest," hut enjoying a pretty good breakfast of bread, coffee and bacon, the command marched to Fort Lincoln, near Bladens- burg, where tents were pitched in a corn field, and a few days thereafter the regiment commencd doing duty in the fortifications on the North side of \\^ashington, under command of General Abner Doubleday. The fortifications consisted of a series of forts erected on every hill and connected by a ditch called a covered way. This covered way extended from one fort to the other, and was deep enough to protect men should they have to use them in case of an attack. The forts varied in size according to their prominence and supposed importance. Some of them required several companies, others only one or two. They all had large cannons mounted in them, and a magazine for ammunition. This was called "bomb proof," because it was supposed to be strong enough to re- sist any bomb shell that could be dropped on it. ()!u;a.\i/ \i lox. 1 1 GROUP OF OFP'ICERF. Military roads had l)een constructed in the rear of these forts, so that troops and snpphes could readily be nioved. The forts the regiment was assig-ned to were "Lmcoln," "Bunker Hill," "Saratoga" and "Totten." Sibley tents were furnished the command. They were shaiicd like an Indian 12 ORGANIZATION. wigwam. Each tent would accommodate eight or ten men, and had a stove in it. The size of the tent was doubled by making a stockade about six feet high for the base and the tent mounted on that. This gave a second story. Bunks were built on the same principle as is now used for berths in the Pullman palace cars, but far less luxurious. One of the famous places near it was the old duelling ground near Bladensburg, just at the foot of the hill upon which Fort Lincoln was erected. This was the right of the line, which extended toward the left over two miles, and comprised, in addition to Lincoln, Forts Thayer, Saratoga, Bunker Hill, Slemmer and Totten, near which was the Sol- diers' Home, on the Seventh street road. The Batteries were changed from one fort to another occasionally, so as to familiarize them with the ground. On the 28th of February the Batteries were mustered for pay by Lieutenant Colonel Oberteuffer, after which the men were permitted to remain in idleness a few days, visiting Washington, Bladensburg and other points ; then the regiment was put to work strengthening the forts and digging ditches, in addition to the usual camp duty. Regimental headquarters were established at Fort Lin coin, it being the largest fort at that time. On the loth of March, the Army of the Potomac, which had been laying in and around Washington, moved into Virginia, and the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillerjf then assumed command of all forts on the North side of the Defences of Washington ; in addition to which guards and pickets were detailed for duty in Washington. Bla- densburg and points nearly seven miles beyond the fortifi- cations. Special details of men were made daily to patrol the country thereabouts, including Bladensburg, for guer- illas, bushwhackers and such, many of which were known to be hovering about that section of country, and several of which were picked up and turned over to the authorities. On the 1 2th of March, General Doubleday and staff visited and reviewed the regiment, making complimentary remarks to its line officers and suggesting to the field and staff the necessity of regimental, as well as company drills, to make the regiment efficient — a suggestion, no doubt, ORGANIZATION. 1 3 prompted by informations obtained by tbe reviewing- offi- cers as to the lax manner in which the field and staff inter- ested themselves in the reg-iment's welfare. Batteries D, G and H were relieved from duty at Fort Delaware on the 19th of March, 1862, and, embarking on transports, passed through the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal to Chesapeake Bay, thence to Baltimore, thence by rail to \\'ashing-ton, arriving and joining the regiment on the evening of that day, and were assigned to forts Slocum and Massachusetts, two additional forts on the left of Fort Tot- ten. 14 CHAPTER II. THE DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery now being a complete body, according- to the regulations of the United States Army, and having become somewhat acquainted with the "school of the compau}-," battalion and regimental drills were inaugurated. Up to March 15, 1862, the arms of the regiment con- sisted of the clubs received at Camden and a few old mus- kets, in addition to the cannon in the forts, but on this date the several batteries assembled at Fort Saratoga, when and where the men were supplied with Austrian muskets, and dispensed with the "shelalahs," as they termed the clubs. They had anticipated receiving swords and revolvers, as had been promised them, consequently disappointment was depicted on every countenance at receiving these anti- quated muskets. The ""Austrian cannons", however, were soon there- after exchanged for Springlield rides, much to the gratifi- cation of the officers, as well as the men, and the change seemed to put new life into the regiment. The men's rations were abundant in cjuantity and good in quality, and included fresh bread daily, being baked in the basement of the capitol, which was converted into a bakery at the commencement of the war. The first payment to the regiment was made by Major Dodge, on the ist of April, 1862, and, in consequence there- of, a "glorious old time" was enjoyed for a few days by the major portion of the regiment.

This was done to ascertain if any guard was asleep or away from his post. In case of failure in any one guard so calling out (which did occur on one or two occasions), the sergeant of the guard, with a detail of three men, would make an investigation, which would invariably result in finding the guard asleep. On the 15th of April the first order for battalion drill was issued by the Colonel, but when the several Batteries reported for that purpose at Fort Saratoga, he changed the order, and dress parade was had instead. The Batteries, however, had battalion drill on the 17th at the same place, on which date Captain Anderson, of Battery G, was mus- tered in as Junior Major of the regiment, and at once took a manifest pride in improving the regiment's knowledg'e of military tactics, and bearing g-reat stress on the line officers to become perfect therein. The regiment was inspected and mustered for pay by Captain Halstead on the 30th of April, 1862, on which occasion a much improved interest was manifested by the officers and men, evoking comments of approval by the in- specting officers; the credit for which, no doubt, being due to the officers of Batteries D, H and G,who had profitted by their experiences under Captain Gibson at Fort Dela- ware, and also that of Captain McClure, of Battery F, who had gained considerable military experience during the three months' service. Inspired by the expressions of Cap- tain Halstead, the several Batteries took on a new interest to become perfected in drill, each appearing to vie with the others to become perfect, to Avhich end drilling became a pleasure, not with the officers alone, but by the enlisted men as well. The daily drills involved also practicing with the artillery, the gunners becoming quite expert in a short time, both with the smooth-bore and Parrott rifled ord- nance. Discipline in the regiment at this time was very lax, officers, from Colonel down to lieutenants, mingled and messed with the non-commissioned officers and privates, thus tending to divert the latter of respect and obedience due the former, and, consequently, preventing the regiment DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 17 from aitaiiiini;- any si)ocial dcgroe (»t cnconiuni among the inha1)itants of \\'a.slnn.o-ton, or the "powers that be." Colonel Angeroth seemed to take little pride in the regiment, spending more than one-half of his time in Washington, leaving no one in particular to look after the wants of the regiment, and the men done pretty much as they pleased. OFFICERS AND 100 LB. PARROTT GUN. Fort Lincoln. The different characteristics of the officers and men soon began tr) show themselves. The majority of them were faithful, patriotic and earnest, and rapidly advanced in knowledge and usefulness. There was the usual number of derelicts that are inevitable accompaniments of all times of excitement and especially of war. Soon there began to be rumors that the officers were not military men and did not know how to drill and get the best service out of the men. The state officials at liar- l8 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. risburg- were very jealous of the care, discipline and effici- ency of the volunteers, and were in such close touch with them that any complaint, even from enlisted men, would re- ceive consideration. This wail of complaint finally gath- ered in- such volume that an "Examining Board" was ap- pointed to test the field officers, to see if they were com- petent to handle such an important body of men. These "Examining Boards" were an expeditious way of getting rid of inefficient officers. Some of the field officers were ordered before the board and were found so incompetent that they were advised to resign, which they did. But if they had not resigned, charges would have been preferred and they would have been tried by court martial. It was a bitter disappointment to them. They were happy and contented in their posi- tions, and it is said one of them remarked : "Why could thev not let us alone ; we were all making such a good liv- ing?" This wholesale retirement of officers naturally resulted in demoralizing the entire regiment somewhat. Desertions became frequent, and the process of weeding out those who were not fully able-bodied reduced the reg'iment so rapidly that recruiting again became necessary. Becoming disgusted with the indifference and inca- pacity of the Colonel, the staff and battery officers eventu- aly made unmistakable efforts to have him pay more atten- tion to the regiment's welfare and efficiency, by outspoken expressions of dissatisfaction, but without avail ; conse- quently, on the 20th of April, Major Candidus attempted to have a petition signed by the officers for the examina- tion of Colonel Angeroth by the Examining Board. Not being successful in this, he preferred charges against the Colonel on the 22d of April, which culminated in the resig- nation of Colonel Angeroth being tendered, and he was discharged on the 21st of June, 1862. . Early on the morning of May 24th picket firing called the regiment into the forts to man the guns in anticipation of an attack. On sending out messengers to the picket line, it was ascertained the firing was caused by small bodies of the enemy, presumably guerillas, being discovered DEFENCES OE WASHTN'GTOX. 19 prowling" about the woods in front of Fort Thayer.

On May j6th reports reached the forts that General Banks was retreating towards Washington, and many ad- ditional regiments of infantr}- and cavalr}' were sent to support the garrisons in the forts. Tlie men of the regiment were made happy on the nth DETAIL Battery F) and 32 LB. PARROTT GUN.

Captain ]\lcClure, and the other officers, on the 23rd of June, reported to the Provost Marshal secret movements made 1)}- certain residents of Bladensburg, and on the 29th 20 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. the Board of Officers met and investigated the matter, as well as the reported atttack on Fort Slocum, made a week before. After the retirement of Colonel Angeroth, the com- mand of the regiment fell on Lieutenant Colonel Oberteuf- fer, who, with his staff and line officers, was very anxious to get a competent man for Colonel, Oberteuffer himself pre- ferring to retain his rank as Lieutenant Colonel. Those officers who were on duty at Fort Delaware prior to going to Washington, and who had become ac- quainted with Captain Gibson, were naturally inclined to think he could "fill the bill," if the Government would sanc- tion his doing so. On the petition of the officers of the regiment, Captain Gibson, of the 2d \J. S. Artillery, was given a leave of ab- sence from the regular arm3% and, on the 25th day of June, was appointed to command the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, which announcement gave great satisfaction to the officers and men who were desirous of making the regi- ment one to be proud of, and who were in the service for honor as well as duty and pay, many of whom were exen spending' somewhat of their personal funds to advance tb.e stamina and appearance of their commands. Colonel A. A. Gibson arrived at Fort Lincoln on the 3rd of August, 1862, and at once assumed command of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, having the officers in command of the several Batteries report to him the va- cancies therein, and. also, such propositions as, in their judgment, would be to the interest of the regiment. This led to a reorganization of the Second Pennsyl- vania Heavy Artillery, many promotions being made to fill vacancies caused by those who were "requested" to re- sign, as the new Colonel, being a graduate of West Point, as well as a Mexican War veteran and strict disciplinarian, saw what was wanted to redeem the standing and advance the interests of the regiment, by having "none but compe- tent and self-respecting officers in the regiment." - The new Colonel took great pride and interest in the regiment, and inaugurated means to have it well drilled in 20 COL.

DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 2 1 l)oth lioiit and heavy artillery as well as infantry tactics, as required of heavy artillery by the ret^'ulations of the I'nited States ser\-ice, to which he added frecjuent inspections, dress parades, battalion and regimental drills, the result of which eventually enabled him to rightfully claim having the best disciplined and drilled regiment of volunteers in the United States service, demonstrations of which claim he proved in competition with other regiments in the defences of Wash- ington making the same claim. Details of officers, commissioned and nun-commissiuned, as well as of enlisted men in several instances, were fre- quently sent out from the regiment to instruct officers and men of other regiments in tactics of tlie army, acknowledg- ments as to their abilities to do so frequently being given by those who came under their tuition. Captain E. P. \\'ebb, in his " History of the loth Regiment N. Y. Heavy Artillery," says : "Officers from the One Hundred and Twelfth Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery were assigned to Battalions as instructors in heavy artillery tactics, under whose instructions the officers and command became quite efficient in heavy artillery drill, the commissioned officers meeting at headquarters at stated times for instructions in light artillery tactics." On the 1 6th of August, 1862, Alajor Candidus ten- dered his resignation, which was accepted on the 23rd, and Colonel Gibson mustered the regiment on the i8th, re- porting the absentees, in consequence of which several offi- cers were discharged, and commissions requested for others to replace them. Among the former were Adjutant Zim- merman and Quartermaster Bilyeu, who were succeeded respectively by Lieut. Florence \\'. (irugan, of Battery E, and Quartermaster Sergeant William H. Alelcher, formerly private of Battery D. Captain David Sadler, of Battery D, was promoted to Junior Major, the Senior Major being James L. Anderson, he having been promoted thereto \ke Major Candidus, resigned. Other changes, of minor importance, took place among the officers of the regiment, on account of the weeding out thereof, and the regiment profited greatly thereby, par- ticularly so by the promotion of \\'m. H. Melcher. who was 22 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. a very competent man for the office of Quartermaster, and who, in reality, had filled the position very satisfactorily as such while his superior got the credit and compensation for doing- nothing. Orders to draft 300,000 men for the army was issued by proclamation of President Lincoln on the i6th of August, 1862, in addition to a call for 300,000 additional volunteers. The former order had the effect of creating great excite- ment throughout the Northern States, and in the city of New York considerable rioting took place, but the effect of the draft stimulated volunteer enlistments, and the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery profited very perceptibly thereby. Rumors of Pope's army being driven back were circu- lated around the fortifications of Washington on the 28th of August, 1862, and the following day the 136th Regiment P. V. encamped near P^ort Lincoln, giving credence to the rumor, in consecjuence of which some changes were made in garrisoning the several forts, and on the 30th cannonad- ing at Bull Run could be plainly heard in the fortifications garrisoned by the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. Alarching- orders were issued on August 23, but were immediately countermanded, the regiment being required in the fortifications, to strengthen which Colonel Gibson had planned great improvements and its supervision thereof required his presence, as well as other officers of the regi- ment, in carrying out the plans. Battery D was stationed at Fort Massachusetts, and on August 28, 1862, was transferred to forts on the Virginia side of the Potomac river, where it remained until after the second battle of Bull Run, when it marched back to Fort Massachusetts. On the 29th of August, the 136th and 137th Regiments of Pennsylvania Volunteers, two regiments of infantry, whose services were for nine months, were sent to the forts occupied by the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, and were drilled in artillery and infantry tactics by the officers and enlisted men of the last named resfiment. both officers and men of the former regiments being mixed in promis- cuously with squads of the latter regiment for that pur- DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 23 pose. These two infantry regiments felled the timber on a belt of over two miles in front of the forts, and, abont 4 o'clock a. m. on the 7th of September were sent to the Army of the Potomac, then near South Mountain, leaving their baggage and tents, which were stored at Fort Totten by Captain McClure's Battery F. From the first to the sixth of September. 1862, tlie Second Pennsyhania Heavy Artillery was called upon to do extra duty in picketing, g-uarding fords, roads and bridges, in addition to garrisoning the forts, requiring- large details of men and officers to continue on such duty twenty out of every twenty-four hours, owing to the enemy having crossed the Potomac river into Maryland, and the capture of Frederick City l)y Lee's army. The regiment commenced building a line of rifle pits near X'eitch's House on September nth, and the following day it built a large masked battery in the copse west of Fort Lincoln, in addition to other smaller works along the line of the fortifications, which, when completed, comprised a continuous and impregnable chain of earthworks. The rapid building of these earthworks by the regi- ment was stimulated by hearing cannonading, and, at times, musketry, in the direction of Harper's Ferry, and later at points nearer, terminating on the 17th of September with the battle of Antietam. After the "weeding out" of the regiment, it was deter- mined to increase the number of batteries to twelve, of 150 men each, to which end recruiting was again actively begun, officers being sent to Philadelphia and other parts of Pennsylvania for that purpose in October, 1862, among whom were Lieutenant Benjamin F. Winger, Sergeant Adam Ferguson and Private Daniel Heney, of Battery D, who were to seek recruits in the Cumberland A'alley. They arrived at Chambersburg, on October loth, just before noon, and in the afternoon Stuart's Confederate Cavalry. twenty-fi\e hundred strong, with a light battery, raided and captured the town. Sergeant Ferguson was captured by Wade Hampton's men, but Lieutenant Winger and Private 24 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. Heney evaded the enemy, and secured, in a short time, one liundred and sixty-seven recruits for the regiment/ A band of Confederate sympathizers, that nightly congregated at a house on Massachusetts avenue, just inside the hue of forts, and not far from Fort Massachusetts, was discovered by members of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, and details were made to watch the house day and night, when it was observed that signals were made to the Confederates nightly by lights and during the day by flags. The house was raided and some fifteen or twenty persons were captured and turned over to the authorities. It was at this house Captain Jarden, of Battery C, was reputed to have dined on the evening of November 8th, 1863, and died suddenly at Fort Thayer the next day. Drugged liquor, as Avell as poisoned food, was said to have been administered to him. Two independent Batteries of light artillery that were doing duty at Fort Delaware, commanded by Captain Paul T. Jones and Captain David M. Schooley, were on request of Colonel Gibson, added to the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery on the 24th day of November, 1862, and were designated Battery L and Batter}' M respectively, thus making the regiment consist of twelve Batteries. In September, 1862, the regiment had not only be- came well drilled and disciplined but had strengthened and rebuilt all the earthworks under its control. The fact that no effort was made to strengthen the forts Massachusetts and Slocum, which were mere earth- works carelessly thrown up late in the fall of '61 or in the early part of '62, when the Confederates were in Maryland, is evidence sufficient to warrant the conclusion that the au- thorities did not deem it necessary to strengthen these two forts on that part of the line when the enemy was in Mary- land. That forts Massachusetts and Slocum were rebuilt in a substantial manner as well as the batteries near Fort Lin- coln, was due to the military foresight of Col. Gibson. Those two forts were not built after the plan of Lincoln, Totten, DeRussy, Bunker Hill and Saratoga, but the Second Pennsvlvania Heavv Artillerv and the First Vermont Ar- DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 25 tillery in coiijuiiclioii remodeled those two forts into supe- rior earthwork fortifications. From March, 1862, until sometime in the summer of that year Batteries K and E, located at Fort Saratoga, left camp at 6.30 a. m. daily and marched to Slocum, where they worked until evening, returning to camp about 6 or 6.30 p. m. After rebuilding, Fort Massachusetts was designated Fort Stevens. Had it not been for the work done by the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, or rather, had Forts Massachusetts and Slocum remained as they were in 1862, Gen. Early would have had no difficulty in reaching Washington City by route of the Seventh Street road. The masked battery referred to above, built by Battery K, under the command of Lieutenant Pressley Cannon, and which was afterwards known as Battery Cannon, did full duty in protecting the Union army from Confederate bullets. Historians will not likely condescend to give credit to this regiment's part of the defense against Early's attack, but it is well known, that Early came too late to take the Capital City of the United States by the way of Seventh Street road, as was proved by the defense offered there by those forts so well ]:)lanned and built by the officers and men of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. One of the largest and best topographical maps made during the war was made by a detail of ten men belonging to Battery G, of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, under the leadership of Robert Hodascowich, a graduate of the Military School of St. Petersburg, Russia, who was then a private of Battery G. The map created quite a sen- sation among the topographical engineers at Washington, inasmuch as it was not only complete, but that it was the largest known to have been executed up to that time. After the battle of Antietam, relief was had from the excessive duty required of the regiment, and on the i/th of November, 1862, the Batteries garrisoning Forts Massa- chusetts. Slocum and Totten were relieved by the First Resfiment of \^ermont Artillerv. Lieutenant Samuel D. Strawbridge, of Battery F, was mustered as Captain on December 13th, 1862. and assumed 26 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. command of Battery I on the following mo,rning', succeed- ing Captain Giistavus L. Braun, who resigned on the 12th. The change of officers made a very satisfactory and salu- tary effect on the men of the Battery, as the new commander was well liked, and took great pride in drilling and looking to the interest of his men. In January, 1863, the regimental headquarters were removed from Fort Lincoln to the plateau between Forts Thayer and Saratoga, and the regiment composed the "First Brigade Defences North of the Potomac," Colonel Gibson commanding. The following month the brigade was at- tached to Harkin's Division of the Twenty-Second Army Corps. Soon after taking command of the regiment at Fort Lincoln, Colonel Gibson had organized from among the enlisted men thereof a band of musicians, which soon be- came very proficient under the leadership of Professor Per- rie, and President Lincoln became very partial to it, as, except on rare occasions, such as public inspections, reviews, or dress parades of the regiment, he had it performing daily at the White House. The regiment was very .proud of its band, and appre- ciated the stirring music rendered on many a weary march, as well as its faithful services as stretcher-bearers on many a battlefield. One of its members. John A. Crossley, was wounded July 15, 1864, while performing that duty, dying three days after. During the winter of '62-'63 the men and officers had considerable society, both in Washington and near the forts. Many of them had their wives in the neighborhood and there was considerable visiting among the residents, although it was known that many of them were Confederate sympa- thizers. Among the latter, residing a short distance from Fort Lincoln, were two very attractive young ladies, who were also very entertaining, and whose company many of the officers of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery court- ed, but their efforts to do so were "flanked" by Richard W.

Washington without passes to do so, in nearly every in- stance, would be "picked up" by the patrols and taken to the Central Station, where, if any indication of intoxication existed, a shower bath and twenty-four hours incarceration without food would be administered. Lieut. James H. Springer was assigned to Battery F on the 22d of January, 1863, having been promoted to Second Lieutenant on the 2d inst. Major Fillson, of the Regular Army, inspected the regiment on the 31st of January, and took occasion to congratulate the officers and men for "the splendid manner in which the regiment presents itself on this occasion." Except being mustered for pay on February 28th, nothing beyond the regular routine of drilling, guard and picket duty, with a casual Battery inspection, took place in the regiment until the loth of April, 1863, when a special muster of the whole army took place, in which the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was included. A dress parade of the regiment was had at Fort Sar- atoga on the 1 2th of April, 1863, on which occasion many hundred officers and about 3000 visitors witnessed the dis- play. The regiment was in full numbers, very few men being excused from participating in this event, as the daily pape'rs had announced it to be Colonel A. A. Gibson's great- est effort to display his grand regiment of volunteers on this occasion, and the verdict of the press next day announced it to have been "a grand demonstration." The regiment was drilled daily at the guns in the forts, about this time, and considerable target practice was in- dulged in, particularly at Forts Lincoln, Thayer and Sara- toga, in which the several Batteries took turns, and the gunners became so efficient that there were very few who could not hit the target nine out of every ten attempts. A dress parade of the regiment at Fort Saratoga on Sunday, April 19th, 1863, was witnessed by many visitors, among whom were Generals Augur and the colonels of sev- eral regiments laying in and around Washington, and for the gratification of the latter some manoeuvering was made. On these occasions Colonel Gibson and his subordinate of- ficers took great delight in having officers of other regiments DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 29 present, nuiicc ui llic events invariably l)eing- given out a few days before, thus enabling many to witness the events that otiicrwisc would be impossible for them to do. The invitations to be present were generally issued at the insti- eration of the Q'eneral commanding, \\ho done so to have the manceuvering as an object lesson to ot^cers of undrilled regiments. Major Morrell again paid the regiment, for three months' services, on the 25th of April, and on the 30th of the same month, Colonel Warner again inspected and mus- tered it. These two officers were the guests of Colonel Gibson on the following Sunday, May 3, when dress parade and re\'iew of the regiment took place at Fort Saratoga. After the battle at Chancelorsville, the Second Penn- sylvania Heavy Artillery was again called on to do extra duty, as most of the infantry regiments that had been lying near the forts were withdrawn and sent to the Army of the Potomac, the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery fur- nishing extra guards, patrol and pickets to cover the field made vacant. Nevertheless, the regular Sunday dress pa- rades were continued, when the weather permitted, and on May 17th, the usual details for duty were reduced one-half, thus enabling the several batteries to make a much larger turn-out on dress parade that day. On the 26th of May, 1863, Batteries F and G were called upon to do extra work on the forts, but refused, and other Batteries followed suit, which action of the men promised trouble, but on considering the grievances of the men, the officers managed to avert any serious trouble, and, except a reprimand by Colonel Gibson on the 31st, when he inspected the regiment, at Fort Saratoga, nothing further was dene in the matter. After the 24th of June, 1863, the men on picket and guard duty were admonished to be ^■ery vigilant, and the officers of the several Batteries were almost constantly on duty to keep the men on the alert for stray bands of the enemy, on account of Lee's army advancing towards Penn- sylvania. No one capable of doing duty was excused, and no passes to Washington were issued until after the 7th of July. The battle of Gettysburg, which was fought on the .30 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 1st, 2nd and jrd of July, resulting in the defeat of the Con- federate army by General Meade, relieved the Second Penn- sylvania Heavy Artillery somewhat of doing excessive duty. Many men of the regiment, during Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania took "French leave," returned to their homes and, joining the Army of the Potomac at and around Get- tysburg, were engag'ed in defending their homes and fire- sides to the letter, as well as the spirit, of their enlistment. FIRST SERGEANT EDWARD O'NEILL. Battery E. Many such men were killed, wounded or captured, and to this day some are marked on the records as "deserters ;" and, owiup- to that fact, those recorded as such in the roster at this time may be thus accounted for. On the 14th day of July, 1863, the Second Pennsyl- vania Heavy Artillery's headquarters were removed from Fort Lincoln to the plateau between Forts Bunker Hill and Slemmer, under a clump of fine shade trees, and soon there- DEFENCES OF WASUiXU'lON. 3 1 after it was decided to give the several Batteries more per- manent qnartcrs than the Sihley tents.

They were set up two or three feet from the ground, so there would be a good circulation of air in every quarter. This was the same prin- cipal that had been adopted in the army hospitals, which proved to be the true thing, and has been followed in all hospitals since, as near as could be. About this time Battery D was moved to Bunker Hill and wintered there with Batteries A and B. Lieutenant Benjamin F. Winger, of Battery D, who had been detailed, July 13th, by Major General Heintzle- man, "Acting Assistant Inspector General for First Brigade Defences North of the Potomac," inspected the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, July 18, 1863, and on the 27th of the same month, Major Morrell, the paymaster, made his appearance and settled accounts with the regiment for services. On the 31st the regiment was again inspected by Colonel Gibson, who took occasion to flatter the officers and men for their "greatly improved appearance and bearing in so short a time," and directed the officers of the several Batteries to permit as many of the men as could be spared to witness the review of the light batteries on August 3rd, which took place near the Lincoln Hospital, fifteen light batteries participating there- in, and was considered a grand affair. Rev. John Hassler, the first Chaplain of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, occasionally held divine ser- vices, but as few men attended them he became disinterested in his mission, and resigned on the 4th day of August, 1863. The regiment was reviewed and mustered at Fort Saratoga on the 31st of August, 1863, and again mustered for pay, by the commander of the post, on the 31st of October, 1863. Captain John S. Jarden, commanding Battery C, was taken from Washington to his quarters, at Fort Thayer, 32 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. on the night of November 8th, and was found dead the next morning. A mystery surrounded the affair, which, after investigation, it was rumored that he had been poi- soned at a house on Massachusetts avenue, where he had spent the evening with a party of pronounced Confederate sympathizers. The house had been "puhed" once in 1862, as before mentioned, but nothing was done with the parties arrested, and, evidently the occupants at the time of Captain Jarden's death were supposed to be responsible therefor, although nothing was done in the matter. Jar- den's body was taken to Philadelphia and buried in Monu- ment Cemetery, at the southwest corner of Fifteenth and Norris streets. Lieutenant Winger again inspected the regiment on the 22nd of November, 1863, and on the 29th of the same month Captain Amzi S. Fuller, of Battery K was placed under arrest, but nothing of import resulted therefrom. A brigade drill was held near the Magruder Mansion, on December 12, 1863, Col. Gibson commanding, and all available men of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery were required to participate, followed by regimental drills daily until the i8th, preparatory to a general inspection and review on the latter date, by General Barry, but as the day proved to be very inclement, the event was postponed. The weather continued to be very disagreeable until the end of the year, in consequence of which Colonel Gib- son, on the 31st of December, mustered the regiment with the Batteries remaining in their several quarters. In the latter part of 1863, a weeding out of men not physically strong enough to perform field duty was inau- gurated, and such men were transferred from time to time to a body of troops organized by the government to do patrol and guard duty m and around Washington, which was known as the "Invalid, or Veteran Reserve Corps." Many men were transferred from the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery to the new organization during 1863-65. During the winter of 1863-64, considerable new blood was infused into the regiment, by the addition of some more competent officers and able-bodied young men, and the rank and file began to feel and realize that the regiment DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON, ^;^ was {|iiite an important part of the defenses of Washinjijton. It was a well known fact that the President had j^reat confidence in the re.i^iment and did not want it to leave the defenses, althone^h many officers and men were, anxious for duty in the field or at the front, and quite a numher of them commenced to ag-itate the matter, evidently as a more cer- tain means of being promoted ; and as new recruits to the regiment came in such great numl)ers during the winter months that there were enoug-h to make another regiment — the rolls swelling to over 3600 men — some extraordinary arrang-ements were required to be made, and it was sug- gested to form another regiment from the surplus. The right was granted recruits to choose the regiment to which they were to be assigned, thus preventing them being as- signed to other regiments without their consent; so the suggestion of another Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artil- lery, with "Junior" or "No. 2" added, to properly desig- nate them, was urged by many who were in order for pro- motion, believing, of course, officers for the new regiment would be taken from the experienced men, commissioned and non-commissioned, of the old regiment, which was verified in Ai)ril. Colonel (libson gave offence to one or two of his sub- ordinate officers and men, whereupon charges were pre- ferred against him, which were referred to a Court of In- quiry for adjudication. The Court of Inquiry in the case of Colonel Gibson convened on the 25th of January, 1864, and, after witnesses against him were all heard, he read his defense thereto on the 27th of the same month, when the Court adjourned to meet on Wednesday, March 2nd, 1864. The final session was held on the 7th of March, when the Court declared the charges unsustained. After the muster out of Chaplain Hassler in August, 1863, the officers and men of the regiment desired to have another Chaplain appointed, the outcome of which was tlie selection of Rev. Thomas P. Hunt, who was mustered as Chaplain on the 8th of February, 1864. The following letter, written by Colonel Gibson, on the 6th of November. 1877, will best describe the new Chaplain: 34 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. In the fall of 1863 there came to the Headquarters of my brigade in the Defences of Washington a stranger, whose aspect and demeanor so vividly impressed me that I shall never forget the moment. It was the Rev. Thomas P. Hunt, to make an official report for duty as Chaplain of the 2d Penna. Heavy Artillery,— the ii:;th in the consecutive order of registration. His predecessor, Rev. John Hassler, a quiet, unobtrusive, good man, was dissatisfied with the office, in which, to repeat his words, "he could find so little to do," and therefore conscientiously resigned it. A meeting of the officers was held to nominate_ his successor, which the Governor duly confirmed. All that I knew of the appointee was through the officers, and this only in their assurance that I would be pleased with him. But when I first saw him I could hardly believe that there was not some mistake. Not that vigor and determination were lacking in the expres- sion of his countenance, whose physiognomy was apostolical ; but the whiteness of his hair and flowing beard, and apparently feeble body created misgivings of his ability to be equal to the activities and exposure of service in the field. The line of his duties extended about five miles from Fort Slemmer on the West to Fort Jamison upon the Eastern Branch in the vicinity of Bladensburgh. The regiment was crude, but every man was a Pcnnsyhanian, willing to obey and ready to receive instruction ; but its elements were heterogeneous. Lifted from the reach of social influence and civil law, and not yet reduced to subjectiveness by militarv discipline, there were, more or less, acts of lawlessness induced more by the novelty of change and freedom from accustomed restraints, than by inherent disposition to do wrong. Here was an urgent demand for the right kind of Chaplain; one of tact, common sense and knowledge of human nature, of shrewdness, quick perception, genial sympathies, consistency and love of purpose; for when men are massed and moved by arbitrary will, they will soon learn to read character, to discuss it and to dissect it. They distinguish their superiors by unerring conclusions, and for the reason that their thoughts and visions are irresistibly directed to the centra! influence of their welfare. He believed that he was called to his work; that in accepting this appointment he was responding to God's behest; for in no other way, said he, could he account for his sudden departure from the resolve in obedience to the wishes of his family, not to take the field again. After being settled in office, he approached me upon both personal and official relations. First, he requested to be called "Father Hunt," as heretofore the boys had been accustomed to call him; and then he desired an understanding between us of our distinctive spheres of duty, which he defined in clear, concise words which could not be misapprehended; to which I gave a ready assent, with gratification that he knew his place so well, and inferentially the duties attending it. From that moment began a mutual confidence which continued unbroken with never a shadow upon it, save that which was cast by our final separation from official relations. He com- menced vvith the Colonel as he ought to have done. Not many days afterwards as I was about to mount my horse, an orderly delivered a message — something irritating — for my words were emphasized with oaths. Swearing had been habitual with me for more than thirty years, and this was a period that vastly promoted it. Father Hunt, unobserved, was near by, and as I mounted he made some remark upon the matter in question, and then added: "But what is the use of swearing?" I looked him straight in the eye, and his eye was fixed on mine. His look was pleasant, his voice soft, there was nothing indicative of reproof, but a calm complacent appeal to the understanding. I continued mv gaze upon him perhaps half a minute, but my thoughts were far within me; then I said: "There's no use! I'll stop it!" and added, "But the habit is so strong that I fear my tongue may sometimes slip." "Never mind that," he said, "but hold to the resolution." At another time he entered my quarters chuckling in a quizzical way, and exclaimed: "What do you think? The boys want to know what can have hap- pened to the Colonel. They sav they haven't heard him s-,-/ear in two months." I speak of this to illustrate his tact. His religious sentiments did truly generate his fervid patriotism, and converselv, his countrv's cause offered a new field of opportunity which sanctified his ministry. His haunts were alike the barracks, the hospital and the trenches. Men shoveled with more alacrity when he was about, they consociated more fraternallv in their quarters, and he was a visible relief to the languid sufferer on the sick bed. He "could be all things to all men." Jocund or serious as the occasion prescribed. Every anecdote was made subservient to the purpose as a Biblical text. His example of willing devotion enhanced by the veneration of years was a potent aid to his instilling powers. Youth lent freshness to age, and duty kept constant watch of the fleeting hours. T'aere was no moment unimproved, and utility was the spur of his activity. Even his amusements were objective and his curiosity distilled from observation some truth to be sought. Restless in inquiry, his philosophic mind clothed his re- searches with thought as original as solid. Evidently the man of such parts must die with the harness on. What wonder then the regiment became a model? J/ REV. THOMAS P. HUNT, Chaplaiu 1863-1866. DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 35 The propensity to forage wholly disappeared insomuch that gardens intersected by trenches and common passways were in undisturbed security without guard or patrol. Drunkenness was a rare occurrence. Passes freely given were seldom violated; and the officers abstained altogether from the exercise of arbitrary punishment. Justice demands the admission that all this was brought about largely by the influence of its Chaplain in supporting and imi)ressing corrective orders. His pulpit was improvised of anything he could stand upon, and the place was anywhere of convenient assemblage. He preached in the open air with his hat on, as often as under the shelter of a roof, and always in the appropriate manner and practical direction to do the most good. It was his intention to have a chapel built, but before the arrangements could be completed the regi- ment was moved to another part of the defences across the Potomac. I5ut not in the preacher did the works of the Chaplain most abound. The volunteer looks back to his home whether as sentinel on the night watch or on the weary march, or engaged in the detail of garrison life. His domestic interests, ever dear to him, hang upon his thoughts, and he cherishes them the more tenderly, and desires to return to them the more eagerly, because his absence is temporary, and his pursuit, so opposed to his habits, is not professional, but an enforced duty. Here the confident adviser finds intimate use and need of his office to inspirit and encourage the despondent; for the soldier needs heart in his duty as well as pluck to perform it. For this our Chaplain was abundantly fitted by his extended experience, observation and profound study of the human heart. His power of facile adaptation to any situation, his quick perception of retiuire- ments, together with the advantages derived from previous service of three months at the outset of the Rebellion, enabled him to accept the responsibilities of his office in the confidence of helping the cause. "I can promote it, though I may not fight," he said; promote it by infusing the soldier with his own spirit, elevating sense of duty, strengthening resolution and animating courage; all of which makes men more manly, and without doubt when they turned over their arms and resumed their wonted places and work as civilians, they were better men for these lessons of discipline in the field, and few who understand it will fail to yield the grateful acknowledgment of due credit to the Chap- lain. * * * And now approaches the moment when I must speak of relinquishing the charge of the regiment, which, God be my witness, I tried to keep well, and of which I can truly say nothing in the experiences of my profession gave me greater interest, or more painful pleasure to put away. Father Hunt knows all about it. In addition, a more selfish sorrow aggravated this regret, the loss of the companionship of one whom I had learned to respect and to love, to lean upon as a pillar of wisdom. » * » I parted finally with Father Hunt, July 20, 1864, — if that can be called parting which separates the body but leaves the spirit distinct in Faith's perpetual relief, and the drapery of his works. One quiet sunny Sabbath we walked over to Fort Saratoga to attend divine service. The text of his discourse was then prophetic of the fulfillment of his life: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord; from henceforth, saith the Spirit. Yea, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." A. A. GIBSON. Fryeburg, Me., November 6, 1877. Chaplain Hunt's description of Colonel Gibson follows : After remaining at home with the intention of resting in my old days, I was again and again invited to act as Chaplain by several regiments. Among these applications was one from the 2d Penna. Heavy Artillery {112th). I knew but one officer in it, but there was something so frank and gentlemanly in the Colonel's (A. A. Gibson's) letter to me, that I determined to accept the position. To my amazement I learned that the Colonel, of all men in the army, had the least confidence in chaplains, and that I must expect rough times with him. But I knew that if I did my duty he would not injure me. So I determined to go on. Arriving at Fort Bunker Hill, or the defences of Washington, I found the Colonel absent. He had left a note politely inviting me to make his headquarters my home until other arrangements could be made for me. He returned in the afternoon and received me cordially. But he had formed some habits too commoii for West Pointers, and I saw at once that they would cause us trouble. When we retired to his private room, he expressed his gratification at my acceptance of the chaplaincy. I told him I was not mustered in yet, and did not intend to be, unless we could understand each other, so as to render our intercourse mutually agreeable. I wished to know what he expected of me as a gentleman and an 36 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. officer. He fairly and frankly gave me his views. I told him I thought I could comply with them, but he should know what I expected of him. I expected to be treated in all respects as a gentleman and Christian, and to be sustained in all my official efforts to repress immorality and to enforce the rules of morals in the army. He said my position was a reasonable one, and we would have no difficulty on that subject. I then asked him if he thought it would be treating me as a gentleman and Christian to repeat such conversation in my presence as I had heard from him that afternoon. Would I be doing my duty to suffer it? If not abandoned, did not my duty require that I should report it to the Adju- tant General? I intended to do my duty. He said he had met a Chaplain with my views, but he approved of them and would try to co-operate with me and would correct his own habits so as to give me no pain. I told him that I had no doubt of his sincerity in saying so, but how could he hope to succeed while his nature was unchanged? He must be converted; born again, before he could cease to do evil. This led to a long conversation that lasted till after midnight. The result was one of the most pleasant things that has ever fallen to my lot. The warmest and most sincere friend I have is this Colonel, and I have great faith in the expectation that ou. friendship will be perpetual, reaching into that unending joy and love that makes the name of Jesus, who saves from sin, not only precious now but glorious forever. I would love to record the letters I receive from him if I could do it without seeming impropriety. I hesitated to write what I have already written about him, but hope I have not invaded the domains of strict delicacy in doing so. Honorable Andrew G. Curtain, Governor of Pennsyl- vania visited and reviewed the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery on the loth of February, 1864, his presence and remarks made to the officers and men were received with great satisfaction and rejoicing, and on the 12th of Feb- ruary, another review and brigade drill of the regiment (the regiment then composed a brigade) was witnessed by the Governor in a large pasture field near the Magruder Man- sion. Among other remarks made on this occasion. Gover- nor Curtin said : "So far as I know of military manoenvering, and what I to-day witnessed, I am proud to say Pennsylvania has furnished a regiment of tnen^tQjiie United States that will compare with any other such organi- zation orTttre-face of the earth, and I congratulate you, officers and men of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, being that regiment; and I feel confident your record will be equally maintained in battling with the enemy should opportunity present itself to test your fighting qualities." Among the officers of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery were many young and talented men. Some of the brightest of these were assigned to the different staff duties requisite at the various headquarters. One of these was Lieut. Edward S. Colwell, of Battery L, who for some time had been on duty at Col. Haskins' headquarters in Washington. He was mounting his horse on March 7, 1864, preoaratory to taking some part in a movement of DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 37 the (lay, when his horse reared and threw him, and as he fell he struck his head against the curbstone. He died the next day. This was the first violent death in the regiment, and it made a deep impression upon the men, who felt it as a personal loss to themselves, especially those who formed his comradeship at Fort Delaware, whicli had grown into a warm friendship. As illustrating the feeling at the time, the action of the officers of the regiment in regard to his death will be the best shown in the following: "Headquarters ist Brig. Ilaskins* Dis., 22d A. C, Fort Bunker Hill, D. C. March 9, 1864. Orders. It becomes our painful duty to announce the death of a comrade and fellow soldier, First Lieutenant Edward S. Colwell. He died at three o'clock last evening from injuries received by a fall from his horse in Washington the day previous. Lieutenant Colwell entered the service as Second Lieutenant of Captain Paul T. Jones' Independent Battery, at Fort Delaware, in December, 1861; he joined the regiment by the transfer of that battery in November, 1862; was soon after made First Lieutenant, and early last summer was appointed to the staff of the Division Commander. His military career was distinguished for the uniform blending of courtesy with devotion, cheerful promptitude with industry, quick perception with sound judgment. To those who knew him his best eulogy is the impression which he left upon their hearts; to those who do not, it is not in words to convey the beauty and worth of his character, and the bright promise of his usefulness so suddenly closed. By this melancholy event his friends and the regiment sustain a loss that is measured only by the sorrow which it creates. Honor the memory of the Christian soldier, faithful to his country and his God. II. All duty, not necessary to discipline, is suspended in the Brigade for the day, and the flag will be at half-mast until sunset. III. The officers of the Second Pennsylvania Artillery are respectfully in- vited to meet at headquarters at 10.30 o'clock this morning for measures of respect to the deceased. By Command of Col. A. A. Gibson, U. S. .'\. (Signed) BENT. F. WINGER, Lieut. A. A. A. Genl. The following is from the proceedings of a meeting of llic officers of the Second Pennsylvania Artillery, assem- bled at Regimental Headquarters, Fort Bunker Hill, D. C, March 9, 1864, in j)ursuance of Col. Gibson's orders of that date : "On motion, the Kev. Thomas P. Hunt, Chaplain, took the chair, and Lieut. Thos. K. Mumford was appointed Secretary. On motion. Major Thomas Wilhelm, Captain Edward Rowand and Lieut. J. Norris were appointed a committee to prepare resolutions expressive of the regret felt in the loss sustained by the death of Lieut. Edward S. Colwell, a brother officer; which were presented and adopted unanimously as follows: Resolved, The remarks that 'Heaven loves to gather to itself the lovely,' is seldom more forcibly brought to mind than in the sudden and unexpected removal of Lieutenant Edward S. Colwell from friends mortal to join friends immortal in the light and love of eternity. If, in the light of Him who searches the heart, Lieutenant Colwell ever lacked one thing that thing was supplied by Him who givcth liberally to the needy. In the eyes of men he represented a character in which there was nothing wanting. In him was daily seen progression from 38 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. strength to strength and a cultivation and exhibition of love to truth for truth's sake and devotion to every duty from a love of duty, and a regard to the rights of all from a love of right; so that he ioyfully, faithfully, wisely, winningly ren- dered to Csesar the things that were Cssar's, and to God the things that were God's. Resolved, That on hearing of the death of our deceased friend and comrade, and since that time, we can and do truly express our feelings in the words of Montgomery : 'Our hearts grew cold, they felt not then. When shall they cease to feel again?' Our consolation must be found in resignation to God, and our profit in emu- lating and in remembering the virtues of our friend. Resolved, That our sympathies be extended to the parents and family of the deceased, with the assurance that while we mourn with them their loss, we also rejoice with them in the privilege of mourning over one worthy of those tears and sighs that know no regret or shame. Resolved, That we wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the family of the deceased, and that these proceedings be published in the 'Philadelphia Inquirer' and 'National Intelligencer.' THOMAS P. HUNT, Chaplain 2d Artillery, P. V., Presiding." In the spring of 1864, General Grant, who was then in command of the Armies of the United States, began reorganizing the Army of the Potomac, preparatory to a march on the Confederate capital, and, to give better as- surance of success to his plan, he began drawing on the Defences of Washington for seasoned and drilled troops, replacing them with others just recruited. President Lincoln insisted on the old troops being left for the defence of Washington, but Gen. Grant assured him that the best way to protect Washington was to send these old troops towards Richmond. The prestige Gen. Grant had gained in the West made his opinion as a mili- tary man of great weight with President Lincoln and finally prevailed. Lieutenant Winger, A. A. Gen., held a review of the brigade (Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery) with some other troops, on the 19th of March, near the Magru- der mansion, and on the 21st inst. Major Morrell made his appearance again, paying the regiment for three months' services. Rumors of marching orders were mentioned on the 24th of March, and on the following day orders were issued to the Captains of the respective Batteries to cook one day's rations and be prepared to march at ten o'clock the next morning. On the 26th of March the regiment packed knap- sacks and marched to Forts Ethan Allen and Marcy, just DEFENCES OF WASH I XCTOX. 39 across the ruloiiiac, at Chain liridg-e. on the Vire;inia side, where it reheved the 4tli N. Y. Heavy Artillery, wliich went to join (irant. 'I'hc mud and slush were ankle deep, the atmosphere very depressino-, and consequently many fell hy the wayside, unahle to keep up the pace of the marchin.c:. which was very fast for troops unacquainted with marchino- under heavy marching orders. All the I'atteries. except B, C and M. were assig-ned to garrison (lut\- in Fort Ethan Allen, while those Bat- teries designated were assigned to Fort Marcy. The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was then the First Brigade of DeRussey's Division, Twenty-second j\rmv Corps, and Colonel Gibson continued to be the com- mander of the Brigade. While at these forts, many incidents occurred, among which was an attempted midnight attack on May 3 by Moseby and White of the Confederate army. The picket firing commenced al)out twelve o'clock, and the bugles sounded "fall in" shortly after. Tn five minutes after the bugle call was sounded. Batteries G and D were inside Fort Ethan Allen and C at Fort Afarcy, ready to man the guns. The other Batteries soon followed the advance, and Col- onel Gibson, in complimenting the men while in the forts, stated that e\-ery Battery was inside the forts and ready for action in less than ten minutes after the picket firing commenced. It is true many entered the fort half dressed, the writer himself carrying his blouse, shoes and stock- ings in his hands. The only thing objectionable to the manner in which the 1)0}'S entered L'ort l^than Allen was the hurrah way in which it was done, and Colonel (iil)son called attention to the fact, but added: "It filled mo witli joy to sec tlic eagerness, promptness and cheer- fulness displayed by my connnand to meet the enemy, and it will in- spire in me the fullest confidence that you will do your full duty with credit whenever the opportunity presents itself." Immediately after the picket firing ceased, a detail was sent out from each fort to ascertain the cause thereof, with the result that a body of cavalry was seen approach- ing and refused to halt at command of the videttes. and, 40 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. until the cheering heard from the forts, continued to ad- vance, driving the pickets in for some distance, but wheeled and fled as soon as they heard the cheering. After dayhght, alDout too men, under command of Lieut. PhiHp Newkumet, of Battery C, were sent out to scour the country thereabouts, with the result that two men and a woman were brought in under guard and searched. The men were found to be wearing three suits of clothes each — farmer, Confederate and U. S. navy — and were sent under guard to Washington. The bodies of two other men, killed by the picket fire, were brought in, and were found to be dressed in garb similar to those two who were captured. A few nights after the above occurrence, the vidette from picket post No. 5, on the Leesburg Turnpike, was wounded in the foot and ear by bushwhackers. Sergeant Gramlich, of Battery B, was relieving post No. 4 about 9 o'clock, when he saw the flash of a musket in the woods in front of Post No. 5, and then the flash of the rifle of No. 5 vidette. He cried out: "Cease firing! Lay down!" and hastened to No. 5 post, about fifty feet distant, where he ascertained the picket had been wounded with buckshot. Sending the wounded picket to the fort, under escort of Corporal John Super, of Battery C, to report the firing, Sergeant Gramlich hurriedly gathered sixteen of his pickets and scoured the woods, arresting an old man and a boy near Little Bethel Church, l)ut they were released by Col- onel Gibson after questioning them, they proving their innocence by an alibi. Lieutenant Barber of Battery M, with fifty men, a Sergeant and a Corporal were sent out from Fort Marcy to scour the country, but accomplished nothing; thus the incident was ever after referred to as "the turnpike mystery," and gave rise to many debates as to "who shot No. 5 ?" Soon after occupying Forts Ethan Allen and Marcy, the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was drilled in heavy marching order daily, and then, with knapsack, haver- sack and forty rounds of ammunition to carry, the men began to realize the true recjuisites of active soldier life. However, very little, if any, complaining could be heard DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 4I among the men, they e\i(leiilly reahzing its necessity, and the regiment soon thereafter reahzed the benefits derived therefrom. The regiment having become numerically too large to constitute a single regiment, the War Department, on the iStli of April, 1864, issued an order to organize the sur- plus into a separate regiment, wliich was done under Spe- cial Orders No. 153, on the 20th of April, 1864, and the new regiment, composed mostly of new recruits, was known as the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, ofiicers for which were supi)lied by promotions of commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the Sec- ond Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. This new regiment lay in camp near Fort Ethan Allen until the 26th of April, when it marched to Alexandria, Va., and was soon thereafter attached to the Ninth Army Corps. Prior to the Provisional Regiment leaving, Colonel Gibson paraded the old regiment and had it escort its off- spring about two miles on its march to Alexandria; then, with open ranks, gave it a parting salute, with "Present arms!" as it passed through. There was never a promotion in military life that some one does not feel hurt, and the organization of the Provisional Regiment was no exception to the rule. A great deal of power naturally fell into Colonel Gibson's hands in the selection of new officers, and many of the old officers were sorely vexed and disappointed at not being considered in the appointment of officers for the new regi- ment. Partiality was openly charged and fully discussed in all quarters. The feeling of dissatisfaction was so acute that many officers did not speak to the Colonel or go to his headquarters for some time except as duty or military eti- quette required. This feeling continued to grow until the old regiment was also ordered to join Grant, at the front. The dissatisfaction in the old Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was openly recognized by Colonel Gib- son in an appeal for good feeling on the part of all that he made one day on dress parade at Fort Ethan Allen, just 42 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. before the regiment left the Defences of Washington and embarked for the front. On the 1 6th day of May, 1864, Colonel Gibson re- ceived orders to be ready to move the Second Pennsyl- vania Heavy Artillery at short notice, and on the follow- ing day, about 4 o'clock P. M., Batteries A, G, H and I fell in and marched to Fort Whipple, about five miles farther down ■ the. Potomac river, where the command was split up and garrisons were sent to Forts Smith, Bennett, Strong, Corcoran, Morton, Casb, Scott, Albany, Jackson, McPher- son, Morton, and one or two others, relieving troops there- in, that they might join Grant's army at the front. The several details of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery at these forts were daily engaged in drilling other troops, among them being the 164th Ohio Volunteers. On the 23d of May, 1864, Colonel Gibson removed his headquarters from Fort Ethan Allen to Fort Corcoran, leaving Forts Ethan Allen and Marcy under command of Major Anderson, who continued the daily drills commenced by the Colonel. Orders were received at five o'clock A. M. on the 25th of May, 1864, to cook five days' extra rations, and be prepared to march at 12 o'clock noon. Other troops not being sent to relieve the regiment, the orders were not fully executed, but were repeated on the 27th of the same month, when the whole of Colonel Gibson's regiment was relieved by a battalion of "100 days' men" from Ohio, and at 7 o'clock A. M. the regiment marched to Washing- ton, by way of Fort Whipple and the Aquaduct bridge, the several detachments at the forts before mentioned fall- ing in line as the regiment reached them. The regiment passed in review at the Executive Man- sion, or White House, as it is better known, President Lin- coln and Secretary Stanton being of the reviewing party. Passing down Pennsylvania Avenue to Sixth Street, thence to the Potomac river, the regiment embarked on four transports — "Northerner," "Wawassett," "Young Amer- ica" and "Ocean Wave" — at noon. The "Northerner" be- ing much the larger boat, and the fastest, had the field and staff officers on l)oard, in addition to four batteries of the DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 43 rci;imciit, the balance tlicrcuf hciiis;- about ct|ually divided among- the other three boats. The crowding- on the boats was rather uneoinhtrtable, and, \n man}-, they were con- sidered "hazardous tul)S to be upon." However, the boats left port about 2 o'clock P. M. that same day, and proceeded down the Potomac river, thence up the Rappahanock, nothing special transpiring until just before daylight the next morning, May 28th, after entering the last mentioned river, when the "Northerner" and the "Wawassett" began to race. After proceeding thus for about a mile, the machinery of the last named boat broke down, and the "Northerner" took it in tow, but when oppo- site Tappahannock station, about thirty miles below Port Royal, the "Northerner" ran fast aground on a shoal. While in that position, a Confederate battery of six guns took position on the hill back of Tappahannock station, and was, apparently, preparing to fire on the grounded boat, but just at this critical moment the U. S. gunboat "Georgia" hove in sight and, firing two shots in rapid succession, dis- abled two of the enemy's guns, killed three or four horses, and put the enemy to flight ere they could lire a single shot. After the Confederates retreated, the "Georgia" went alongside the stranded boat and many of the men thereon were transferred to the decks of the gunboat, thus permit- ting the transport to again float. In transferring the men from the transport to the gunboat, the guard of the former became caught under that of the latter, and when released it caused the "Georgia" to lurch, one or two men sliding off the deck as the lurch took place, one of whom was slightly hurt, the other receiv- ing a ducking only The rocking of the gunboat con- tinued until Port Royal was reached, where the regiment disembarked, at four o'clock that afternoon, May 28, 1864. Mrs. Susannah Kri])s. wife of William H. Krips, Battery C, was with the regiment in the fortifications around Washington in the capacity of laundress, as were some three or four other women, but when the Second Pennsylvania Artillery left for the front, Mrs. Krips, im- bued with a desire to continue in the work of aiding the cause in some capacity, applied for and received an appoint- 44 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. ment as nurse, and continued as such until the close of the war. The following is her experience : Philadelphia, December 2, 1903. ^ Mr. Ward : On the loth of December, 1863, I left Philadelphia, Pa., to join my husband, William H. Krips, a member of Battery C, 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery (112th Regiment Pa. Vols.), then stationed at Fort Thayer, Defences of Washington. By permission of Colonel Gibson and Lieutenant Higgins, I was installed as laundress for Battery C, and in that capacity was with the regiment eight months. While with the regiment I enjoyed perfect respect from all the men, except on one occasion at Fort Thayer, when, after the regiment had been paid, in January, 1864, a member of Battery C, under the influence of liquor, came to Mrs. Well's cabin, where I was visiting, and acted very rude. He was put out by my husband and Mr. Wells, when he drew a knife to stab them. He was arrested by the guard after trying to hide in some bushes, and later was court-martialed and sentenced to three months with ball and chain. Shortly after that the regiment went to Fort Ethan Allen and Fort Marc}', across the chain bridge. With my chattels I went in a government wagon, and the boys secured for me a nice log cabin, just outside the fort, on top of a hill and about a half mile from the Poto- mac river, on the Leesburg pike. Batteries B, C and M occupied Fort Marcy, under command of Major Anderson. I had charge of the officers' table for about two months, when Mrs. Baker, wife of Corporal Baker, and their daughter, took charge of the mess. I then had the clothes of 94 men to look after. Mr. Krips was detailed as detective in General Augur's depart- ment. During his absence a colored woman came to my cabin one night and said she saw "Massa Moseby riding up the creek on his horse," and on investigation it was found to be true that he was so reconoitering. Pickets were stationed at the creek thereafter. A short time later one of Battery C's men was shot in the big toe by one of Moseby's men. He was the first man in the regiment shot by the enemy. One morning in April, when the pickets returned to the fort and fired their rifles off at a target, as was the custom. Corporal Hill per- mitted me to fire his musket. The target was an old tin coffee pot placed on a stump one hundred yards distant. I hit it square in the centre, and the boys cheered me as an "Amizonian." When the regiment was ordered to the front all the women were ordered home, except me. Major Anderson said if I wanted to go to the front with the regiment I could do so. Papers were made out to send to General Augur for my transportation, but I changed my mind, and turned my attention to the great need of help in the hos- pitals. It was a sad day to me when I waved good-bye to the boys, and, alas! for the last time to many of them, for they never came back; and I shall never forget the 27th day of May, 1864, as a very sad event, though I entertain pleasant recollections of my services in the defences of Washington. 4t MRS. SUSANNAH KRIPS, Army Nurse. DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. 45 After the regiment left for the front I went to Capitol IJill Hos- pital, in Washington, where 1 served a short time as nurse, and was then transferred to Jarvis Hospital, at Baltimore, Md., and later to Slough General Hospital, at Alexandria, Va., where I remained until the war was over, and tlie hospitals were being closed and the men transferred to other hospitals in the Northern States, near where were their homes. I now look back to my army life and career of over two years with great pleasure, and thank God I was able to fight disease and wounds and save many lives of our brave boys who fought and suffered to save the glorious flag and country we now adore and enjoy. Yours for 'Old Glory,' MRS. SUSANNAH KRIPS, Sr. Vice-Prcs. Army Nurses of Civil War. Prior to leaving Washington, many officers and men of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery were detailed to remain and drill the fresh troops garrisoning the fortifi- cations ; a few officers also remained to finish up work- assigned them. Among the latter was Surgeon Griswold and Quartermaster William H. Melcher, both of whom, however, rejoined the regiment on its arrival at Cold Har- bor a week later, reaching there via White House Landing. Lieutenant Thomas Porterfield, replying to the toast : "The Defences of Washington," at the reunion of the Sec- ond Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery held at Watson- town, Pa., in 1893, said: "Comrades, let me assure you that I utter no mere words of formality when I say to you that I am glad to be with you once again. I look forward to these reunions in anticipation of a great deal of pleasure, and number them amongst the most happpy hours of my life. Assembled here to-day, memory apparently losing its hold upon the present, turns back and paints in tints of youthful rem.embrance events that have long since passed and gone. There comes back to us the camp, the march, the fray, and the dreadful battle, where so many of our comrades fell ; what fond memories cluster around these old familiar names of Forts Lincoln, Thayer, Saratoga, Bunker Hill, Totten, Massachusetts, Marcy and Ethan Allen. There we first formed these ties of comradeship which bind us together, and bring many of you from far distant homes to renew these old memories, and to pledge ourselves anew to keep them ever fresh while a single survivor lives. It was there that our grand old regiment earned for itself the well merited title of being the best drilled and best disciplined regiment of any in the volunteer service — not only in one branch of military tactics, but in all the varied arts and usages of warfare. There was not an enlisted man in the regiment who would not have done honor to an officer's commission in so far as the "School of the Soldier" was concerned. By your conduct as gentlemen and soldiers you en- 46 DEFENCES OF WASHINGTON. deared yourselves to the citizens and authorities, and so secure did they feel under your protection that they scarcely knew war existed, although almost on their very threshold. I utter this in no vainglori- ous boast, nor pronounce it from any self-laudatory spirit, I avouch it on well recognized and proven facts, the truth of which has been fully verified, and for which you were complimented upon more than one occasion by President Lincoln himself. When the Second Pennsylvania Artillery assumed command of the "Defences of Washington," they were defences in name only, having no real existence — mere piles of earth thrown up promiscuously here, and there, without any detail whatever. When you delivered them into the hands of your successors they were the adrniration of every loyal heart and a terror to every enemy of the Union. They were the work of your hands; the creation of your brain; monuments of skilled labor, 'which will stand to your honor while this Nation has a history. The Defences of Washington occupy a very prominent part in the history of the War of the Rebellion; they are said to be the most formidable of their kind ever before known. The most skilled officers and engineers, not alone of our own Government, but of foreign nations, who had come from afar to view them ; men who had made this branch of warfare a life study, pronounced them impregnable, acknowledged that they had learned from you something new in the art of war. There is nothing, however, the soldier wearies of more than this daily routine of duty. You were no exception to this rule; you longed for a more active service; your officers, entering into the same spirit, sent petition after petition to the authorities asking to be at once relieved and ordered to the front. No sooner, however, were they made known than counter petitions followed from the citizens, and the authorities themselves, having a special pride in your ability to guard well the post of honor to which you had been assigned, viz. : guarding liberty at its very gates, refused to comply with your request. The final blow, or what at that time was considered to be the final blow, at Rebellion had been planned. Then at the earnest request of General Grant himself they at last yielded a reluctant consent to your withdrawal. There were those at that time who doubted your ability, unused as you were to withstand the fatigue of long marches or the hardships of the battlefield. As an answer to all such, let your record speak. Your march from Cold Harbor to White House Land- ing had never been equaled, while of your bravery in the battlefield the daily papers of the country speak in no unmistakable language after your first engagement with the enemy in front of Petersburg. 1 quote from the headlines of the Philadelphia Inquirer as follows: •The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery in Battle! Domg Duty as Infantry, Their Maiden Effort Crowned with Victory. Bravery Unprecedented! They vie with older troops in the field, and v.'on praise tiom their commanding officers. Every foot of ground hotly contested by the flower of Lee's Army. A grand Union victory." ihus it was until the surrender at Appomatox, and long after you merited the same praise. Comrades, many of your faces are still familiar to me, though more than a quarter century has passed since I bid you farewell at Fort Harrison. There are others whom I would have loved to meet here to-day; many of them since the close of the war have gone to DEFENCES OE WASHINGTON. 47 idiii tlicir comrades whose white tents shine tliroui^h the mist beyond tlie river. Their record has been completed, whether they yielded up tiuir lives in the tented field or on the battleground; whether victims of a loathsome prison pen, and lie buried in an unknown grave; whether members of the old regiment, or comrades of the new, they have served their country and did their whole duty. Comrades, standing here to-day. calling to mind one short chapter in your history, it shall ever be my fondest memory — my proudest boast — to say with you that I. too, am a comrade of the Second Penn- sylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery." 48 CHAPTER III. On the March. The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, after dis- embarking at Port Royal, went into camp about a quarter of a mile from the landing, with other troops, and while at Port Royal guard and picket duty was its daily avoca- tion, interspersed with some drilling. The regiment, while at Port Royal, was attached to a Provisional Division of troops formed there to protect the left flank of the Army of the Potomac on its march to Richmond. The time consumed at Port Royal was employed in getting together the necessary supplies, supply trains, etc., in order to consummate a forced march toward Cold Harbor. The Provisional Division consisted of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, the Tenth New York Heavy Artillery, a regiment of stragglers, deserters, etc., under command of Colonel Gregory, Capt. John B. Eaton's battery of light artillery, a squadron of cavalry, and a pontoon train in charge of Capt. Henderson, all under com- mand of Colonel Gibson. After formation of the Division, five days' "marching rations" and eighty rounds of cartridges were issued to the men. Among the rations was hard biscuit (hardtack), the first of that commodity ever enjoyed (?) by the men of the "Second Heavy," and it certainly was hard, and, as one man said, "old enough to vote." ON THE MARCH. 49 ROUTE OF MARCH. Fori Roval to Cold Harbor, Va. Tlic command left Port Royal about 1.30 o'clock P. AL, on May 3Tst, after having destroyed Ijy lire all surplus clothing, baggage, etc. 50 ON THE MARCH. The atmosphere was very hot, the roads very sandy and dusty (some places over shoe top), as well as heated by the intense rays of the sun. The route of march led toward Bowling Green, but nothing appeared to indicate fighting having taken place thereon, the fences and crops, as well as stock, fowl, etc., being in pretty good condition. After the first day's march the sun's effect began to cause prostrations, and the men started to unload, throw- ing away such articles of clothing as they thought they could spare. Soon the road was littered with overcoats, blankets, caps, coats, blouses, pants, underclothing, and even drums. The latter, having been issued to the regi- ment just before leaving Fort Ethan Allen, was a new "instrument" to the regiment, but was unpopular, as the men were accustomed to bugle calls and preferred them to the "rat-a-ta-tap." After the second day's march it is questionable whether a single drum could be found in the regiment. Moseby's and White's bands of guerillas were con- stantly on the flanks of the Division, occasionally causing extra marching and countermarching of the Division, evi- dently to evade them at points where the nature of the ground would give them advantage in a conflict, and again in efforts of the Division officers to bring on a conflict when it favored successful results to them. The first day's march was concluded about 11.30 P. M., with but 15 minutes given for rest from time of commencement to when tents were pitched for the night, in a large clover field on the left of the road. With the cavalry on guard, the balance of the Division slept until about 3 o'clock the next morning, June i. After breakfasting, the march was resumed. The weather was still intensely hot, very many men being pros- trated and sunstruck before noon, at about which time Mat- tacocy creek, a branch of the Mattapony river, was reached, then Bowling Green, the first water in any quantity had since leaving the Rappahannock at Port Royal. Here a" halt of over one hour was had, which was ox THE MARCH. 5I utilized hy the men of the Division in cooking what rations they possessed, making coffee, etc. To illustrate the intensity of the sun's rays that day, the writer, in scouting to the left of the road, came across a spring of ice-cold water, from which he filled his can- teen, and after its being exposed to the rays of the sun less than fifteen minutes it became so hot that it was almost impossible to drink it without blistering the mouth. The march from Howling Green was taken up about 1.30 o'clock P. M., and no halt was made until the Matta- pony river was reached at A'lilford Bridge, where a rest of about ten minutes was had, after which the march was continued until about lo o'clock P. M., at w'hich time the atmosphere suddenly changed and a very severe rainstorm set in. The Division then went into bivouac in a corn field to the left of the road, the command having marched about sixteen miles that day. Some time in the afternoon, after leaving Bowling Green, the Division passed the remains of some govern- ment wagons destroyed by Moseby when he found them encumbering him in his efforts to evade a conflict with Col- onel Gibson's command. On June 2d, about 3.30 A. M., "fall in" was sounded, and without time to get any breakfast being given, the march was resumed, rain continuing to come down in torrents, interspersed with peals of thunder and vivid flashes of lightning; the atmosphere being very suppress- ing. The Pole Cat river was crossed about 10 o'clock A. M. The rain ceased about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun, almost immediately, again made its appearance, "in all its glory," as Colonel Gibson remarked to Colonel Piper of the Tenth New- York Heavy Artillery. About 9 o'clock A. M. a fork in the road w^as reached, where a halt was made to rest, but in less than five min- utes' time "fall in" sounded, and the column, on the double- quick, marched to the rear. "What does this mean?" "Is this a retreat?" and many other such queries w^ere pro- pounded by one man to another. After so "retreating" about five miles, a burning bridge on the Pole Cat river was discovered, and it was then ascer- 52 ON THE MARCH. tained that the rapid "retrograde movement" was made to intercept Moseby's band of guerillas before it crossed the above-named river; but he had successfully eluded his pur- suers, burned the bridge behind him, and the only satis- faction derived from the "movement" was to see the bridge burn and the dust made by Moseby's troopers on the op- posite banks of the stream, not a shot being fired by either of the opposing forces. After this incident some ten or fifteen minutes were spent in resting, after which the col- umn again moved forward and shortly after the booming LEW. C. FOSNOT Battery G. Publisher of the Record and Star, Watsontown, Pa. of cannon to the right and front of the Division could be plainly heard, possibly six or eight miles distant, but, ap- parently, moving forward from time to time, indicating a running fight being carried on between the Army of the Potomac and the enemy. The Division continued the march tuitil near midniglit, when it went into bivouac in a clover field, the men lying on arms during the night. ox THE MARCH. 53 Rain had a^ain CDinnienced to descend about 9 o'clock P. r\I. and continued tlu^oughout the night. While on the march, no fires were permitted after nightfall, consequently very little opjjortunity to cook any rations was had. The only exceptions being when some daring soldiers would build a fire, cover it over w'ith shelter tent, blankets and portions of their clothing, to obscure the light therefrom while cooking, doing so at the peril of carrying the "wooden horse" next day if discovered. The fourth day of the march, June 3, 1864, found the men iii line again at 5 o'clock A. M., the command, "Forward, march" being given shortly thereafter, and the first rest given the men was near noon, at Aylett's tavern. Except the sound of cannon and musketry, occasion- ally, to the right of the column, nothing of importance pre- sented itself until about noon, shortly after wdiich time the desultory firing to the right became more pronounced and continuous, indicating an engagement in force taking place. The marching of the Division was increased to a double-quick at intervals during the balance of the after- noon, when, footsore, weary and almost completely ex- hausted, a halt was made about seven o'clock, the ambu- lances, wagon trains, etc, being overloaded with men who had ceased being able to continue the march, the severity . of which was trying in the extreme to the powers of the most capable men participating therein, .\fter a short rest, the column again moved forw^ard, halting about midnight, near the Pamunky river, having covered over twenty miles that day. No tents were pitched, the men and officers as well, completely exhausted, lay down where they stood when halted and the command "rest" w'as given. At 4 o'clock A. M. of the following day, June 4th, marching was resumed. The Pamunky river was reached, the pontoons hurricdl}- laid and the command crossed over about 2 o'clock P. M., when the pontoons were taken u^) and the march continued. The cannonading and musketry firing heard in the early part of the day ceased, and nothing but an occasional shot by skirmishers or sharpshooters was heard. During the afternoon of this day General Burnside's 54 ON THE MARCH. Ninth Corps headquarters were passed by the Division. Then leaving the Mechanicsville pike, the Division turned to the left, passing through a grove of pines, after which, about 4 o'clock P. M., the Provisional Second Pennsyl- vania Heavy Artillery was met and a mighty shout of joy from each regiment echoed throughout the woods as the "Second Heavy" men shook hands with the "boys" of its offspring. Some of the men had a good time shaking hands in a jolly manner, while others were saddened at the news of the loss of dear comrades with whom they had parted alive and happy a short month before. Init were now sleeping the sleep that knows no waking on the fields of Spottsylvania, North Ann, the Wilderness and other places made sacred by their heroic deeds of valor. Marching on until near midnight over some of Mc- Clellan's corduroy roads, in the best of spirits from having met the "Provisional boys," the regiment, weary and sore from a day's march of over twenty miles, bivouaced in a clump of woods until daylight. June 4th, 1864. (Received 4.10 p. m.) General S. Williams: I have arrived at General Warren's headquarters with my com- mand, 6,350 men, who have had no rations or forage since yesterday. By General Warren's advice, I shall camp near Woody's to-night, and request to be furnished with rations at that point if possible. I have a pontoon train and 150 wagons, containing nothing but a little baggage. ^ A. A. GIBSON, Colonel of the Second Pennsylvania Vol. Artillery. Headquarters Army of the Potomac, June 4th, 1864 — 8.10 p. m. Maj. Gen. W. F. Smith, Commanding Eighteenth Army Corps: The Tenth New York and the Second Pennsylvania Regiments of Heavy Artillery brought to this army to-day with the command of Col. A. A. Gibson, have been assigned to your corps. These regiments are to-night in the vicinity of the Woody house. S. WILLIAMS, Assistant Adjutant-General. After a night's rest, the Division again fell in about 5 o'clock on the morning of June 5th, and at about nine o'clock A M. Colonel Gibson reported with his command to Gen. S. Williams, Asst. Adj't General, who assigned the regiment to General William F. Smith ("Baldy Smith"), ON THE MARCH. 55 commanding the i8th Army Corps, at Cold Harbor, which was stationed on the left of the Ninth Corps. The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was then assigned to the Third Brigade of General Martindale's 2d Division of the i8th Corps, Army of the James, and went into camp beside a band of Indians, who were used as sharpshooters. 56 CHAPTER IV. Cold Harbor. Footsore, weary, huiio-ry and straggling, the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, without rations or water, pitched tents immediately after assignment, and rations were soon thereafter served the men, but water was scarce and ver}' bad at that. Quartermaster Melcher and Surgeon Griswold, who were left in Washington to fix up matters pertaining to their office, rejoined the regiment on its ar- rival at Cold Harbor, they having gone there from Wash- ington via Wdiite House Landing. Up to this time the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery knew nothing about "graybacks," except from hearsay, and what appeared in newspapers, but it had not long- been in camp beside the Indians before every man in the regiment gave unmistakable evidence of personal ac((uaintance with the soldiers' companion that had the reputation of sticking closer than a brother. Soon after going into camp, without waiting to pitch tents, many men of the regiment went over to visit com- rades and relatives in the Provisional reg^iment, and there learned of the latter regiment's losses in the ^^^ilderness battles. On the march from Port Royal to Culd Harbor, over 65 miles, without counting the retrograde movements, there were verv few men in the Division who had not suffered, n;ore or less, from the heat, and on arriving at Cold Harbor were very hungry. Nearly every member of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery appeared \er}' haggard and worn out, and as they had had nothing to eat the last two COI.l) HARBOR. 57 (Iru's of llic march, added to the tired and sore condiiion of tlic rei^'iment. its al)ilitics to i^'o into action that day were far hclow par; nc\erlheless it was formed in hue of hattle about 12 o'clock, June 5, and without a murmur, advanced to a position in an o])en field immediately in front of the enemv, who commenced a terrific cannonade upon it, how- ever without any serious consecjuences, for the res^iment was ordered to fall hack under cover of a hill, which was done in perfect order and alignment. Here rations were issued to the regiment by Ouartermaster Alelcher, and were fullv appreciated and relished hy the men. My Dear Comkade Ward: You rememl)er I was the Quartermaster of the Second Pennsyl- vania Veteran Heavy Artillery, therefore my duties kept me in the rear, and, consequently, can only give you the experience of one who knew what was going on there. I was ordered to remain in Washington when the regiment started for the front, to transfer a lot of army stores I had in my possession, which required three days to accomplish. Surgeon Griswold and I went to White House Landing on the steamer "Daniel Webster," and from there to Cold Harbor, arriving there five days before the regi- ment did. We were like lost sheep, with nothing to eat, our stock of terrapin, chicken, etc., having been eaten on the way down. Soon as the regiment arrived at Cold Harbor we reported to Colonel Gibson. I found our wagon train was rather close to the "front," and suggested taking them farther to the rear, out of harm's way. The Colonel, with a wave of his hand, said : "Oh, take them around there!" indicating about 30 yards away. T did so and asked Adjutant Grugan for a double guard, which he granted. I then instructed the te.imsters to unhitch the teams, but not to lake off the harness. The Adjutant wanted to know the necessity for a doub'e guard. I explained that our position was too close to the enemy, and they would soon shell us : and without a substantial guard the teamsters might create a stampede. T had hardly said so when the shells commenced to drop around us, and at once we hitched up and "fell back in good order," wiih the loss of but one old canteen, the property of the writer. That was my first experience in the "shell game." But many times after that wc enjoyed (?) a repetition, as occasion required our presence near the front. Tn fact, T became, at times, reckless, in order to know what was going on at the front, but am now glad it is all over, and that I belonged to a regiment whose services and achievements compare favorably with the best volunteers — the nation's hope — in the War of the Rebellion. Yours in F., C. & L., WM. II. MELCHER. 1909 W. Wnango St., Philadelphia. That night, about 8 o'clock, the enemy charged the 18th Corps picket line, when the Second Pennsylvania 58 COLD HARBOR. Heavy Artillery was again quickly formed into line of bat- tle and advanced to support the pickets, but as the pickets held their position the regiment returned to camp without getting into action. The regiment's stay in camp was of short duration, for about 10 o'clock that night it was again formed in line and marched to a position immediately in rear of the picket line, where the regiment was put to work in felling trees and building fortifications, the enemy keeping up a heavy and continuous fire upon it with artillery and mus- ketry throughout the night ; nevertheless, the regiment con- tinued with its work until about 7 o'clock A. M. of the 6th of June, when it was moved some distance to the left and lay on arms until about 7 o'clock P. M., when it moved forward some distance and was again engaged in build- ing breastworks and batteries until daylight of June 7th, at which time shells again rained around it, but, being under cover of the earthworks, very little, if any, casualties took place in the regiment's ranks. The enemy made an attack that night, but the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery repulsed it without any loss. The regiment remained in these fortifications and breastworks at Cold Harbor, under fire from the artillery and musketry, including sharpshooters, until the night of the loth of June. A Federal battery of six guns immediately in front of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, which the regiment was supporting, was very annoying to the Confederates, who, on the morning of the 9th of June, got range thereon, and in a very short time disabled and silenced it, after which the dropping of shot and shell in the regiment's immediate vicinity ceased — a verification of the adage that "it is an ill wind that blows no one any good." Under cover of darkness, on the night of June 10, 1864, the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was moved to the right and front, where it built a line of earthworks and occupied them during its stay at Cold Harbor, exces- sive duty and vigilance being requisite to maintain the position, as Confederate sharpshooters during the day and 5? WILLIAM H. MELCHER. Quartermaster. COLD HARBOR. 59 mortar shells at iiiHil adiiiuiiishcd the men to be continu- ally on the alert. These earthworks were built through a swampy piece of or(nin}• the regiment, where it was immediately put to work demolishing an old line of works and rebuilding them in a more substantial manner. That night the regiment marched back to its camp and rested until 8 o'clock the following evening, July 17th, when it again took up its usual position in the trenches near the City Point Railroad. All the Batteries of the regiment occupied about their usual locations in the pits, with the exception of Battery G, on the extreme right, which spread out and extended a con- siderable distance beyond the City Point Railroad. On the morning of July i8th, at about 3 o'clock, the 76 PETERSBURG. enemy opened np a terrific cannonading along the whole line, indicating a contemplated attack, and compelling the men to hug the breastworks, many of whom, however, were, more or less, wounded, and a few killed, principally by shells thrown from cohorn mortars. Rain commenced to descend about 5 o'clock and continued until the evening of the 2 1 St. To illustrate the severe strain the men were put to in doing duty at "the front" is an utter impossibility — the want of sleep, the heat, rain, flies, mosquitoes, "gray-backs,'' etc., added to the incessant necessity of precaution to pro- tect themselves from the aim of dreaded sharpshooters and flying shells, taxed their powers of endurance and nerves to the extreme, and its effects were distinguishable in the lives of many survivors of the ordeal years thereafter. Corporal Chambers, of Battery L, recalling those days in front of Petersburg, says : "It was hell itself, and it is wondrous to me that so many of us survived the event. The over-taxing of the men in building rifle pits, batteries, forts and cover ways, in addition to the continuous sharp- shooting; the evening and morning duels, which were so deadly in our front, being from one to two hundred yards apart and right in front of the city, was simply awful. One-half of the line would fire while the other worked on the pits or tried to sleep. On our right was a battery of breech-loading guns, which were presented to Jeff Davis by some English nobleman, whose name along with the presentation was engraved on the breech. After the surrender I rode astride of one of these pieces, with six horses attached, through the streets of Petersburg, and helped to load it on the cars for City Point. The fire of this battery was very destructive. It mattered not how thick and strong our breastworks might be on our flank — for it had a flank fire — the shells from those terrible guns would burrow through the embankment and explode with terrific effect. One of these shells exploded in the pits occupied by Battery L, tearing off the limbs of a half dozen men. One of them was the orderly sergeant, a young Irishman from the British army, one of the best drilled men I ever saw." The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was relieved from duty in the entrenchments during the night of July 19th, 1864, and returned to its camping ground in a pelting rainstorm, but as the weather had been mostly hot and dry from time of leaving Cold Harbor, the men seemed rather to enjoy the change, and marched with a more elastic step than they had for several days past; and the peals of thun- PETERSBURG. ']'] der, attended l)y flashes of lig-htning, was to them only a "reflection of what had l)een witnessed and experienced ever since the first appearance of the re^-iment before Peters- burg," as was said by Comrade Roljert Casey, Jr., of Bat- tery F, -several 3-ears later. Captain Baggs, of Battery D, in a letter to his wife, written in the pits at Petersburg says : In the Entrenchment, July iSth, 1864. While relieving the other troops we were shelled, as I spoke of in the first part of my letter, but fortunately I believe no one of our Battalion was hurt. I was commanding it at the time. Major Sadler being Brigade Officer of the Day. This being rather a quiet day I will try and finish this letter. I have my pen and ink along for that purpose, but these holes are so dirty and dusty that I don't know that I can get through. Well, to resume my narrative. It is singular how soon men get used to these missiles flying near them. Soon after daylight they be- gan to think of their breakfast and a few at a time are allowed to cook. They bring their own provisions with them and each man cooks for himself. Having collected a few sticks the\- build a fire and cook their meals with as much coolness as you do at home. Frequently a bullet will strike in the bank and throw out dust over them and in their coffee. This frequently produces an oath, as the soldier sets great store by his coffee, and it does seem to be the principal thing, especially in the pits. Now some one has to go for water. This is quite dangerous, as their heads must be exposed for a little while. However, they go. Some walk along leisureh', some double-quick or half double, as they suppose the danger is more or less great. They judge by the number and nearness of the sound of the bullets. Generally we have an artil- lery duel every morning. Sometimes our batteries commence and sometimes the rebels. We can generally tell when the .shot and shell are coming, either by seeing the flash or hearing the sound. Some one cries "Cover !" and all protect themselves as well as they can. But every day there is some one hurt and then the cry is "Stretcher this way !" and the stretcher bearers come along and carry off the wounded man. Inquiry is made who it is and if badly hurt. The soldiers show great sympathy in their manner, but few express it in words. The wounded comrade is borne off and that is probably the last they see of him in this campaign. On our left and about seven hundred j-ards distant is a high hill, where the rebels are entrenched. We can see them at work frequently and have a good sight of every shot and shell thrown in by our bat- teries. Our mortars drop the shells right in their holes, but we can- not tell what amount of damage is done. It is certainly very unpleas- ant there, as our men send the shells in very thick. We have two bat- teries and both are very attentive to this hill. It is very strong by nature and the rebels have dug a ditch and placed abatis — that is trees laid down with their prongs from the fort and too close together for a man to get through. Outside of that is a wire fence. It would be impossible to take it by assault without great loss. 78 PETERSBURG. About dusk we see the rebels sending out their pickets and after a while ours are sent out. The sharpshooters leave at sunset and the pickets do not fire while being posted. Rebel deserters come in fre- quently and tell the usual tale of short rations, hard service, conscript- ing every man, etc. Several have come in and say the rebels talk about charging our works. I presume there must be a determination of this kind, as they confirm each others' statements in the main idea. Our soldiers are cheerful and laugh at the missiles of death as they fly harmlessly by and at each other when they dodge without being hit. They crack a great many jokes, and you would be surprised to see so much mirth under the circumstances. We have dug several wells in the rear of the pits and obtain very good water in about ten feet. Many of the rebel shells do not burst. We have a large pile of them near my pit. The men have picked them up close by, as most of them light near here. Pratt brings my meals out to me and I eat them 'sans ceremonie.' We look anxiously for the troops to relieve us after we have been in the pits two days. Soon after dark they come along and we march back to camp. Our camp is in a hollow near the railroad, and a small stream runs through it. We have dug springs close together and water is abundant and good. These two days are devoted to cleaning up and getting things in order. We have been here now a month and on Saturday I had my quarters improved. I have had a nice arbor built which gives us ample room and is quite comfortable. If it should rain, though, there is only one shelter tent to protect me, but I think that will do it unless it rains very hard. Speaking of rain re- minds me that we have not had enough to lay the dust since we came here. Near my quarters is a grave marked "Confederate Unknown." Some one of our regiment has written on the board, "Think not of him as an enemy, but admonish him as a friend." The regiment re-entered the pits on the night of July 2ist, and remained there until 9 o'clock p. m., of the 23rd, when it was again relieved by other troops. Orders were issued for dress parade on the 24th of July, but rain, which had ceased the night before, again came down in torrents at appointed time for parade, thus preventing it taking place, much to the gratification of the officers and men, who, through excessive duty in the pits, felt more inclined to rest and sleep. However, it was made known that Colonel Gibson was relieved, and Major Anderson assumed command of the regiment, in obedience to the following: War Department, Adjutant General's Office. Washington, July 22nd, 1864. Special Order, No. 245. Extract. 6th. — By direction of the President of the United States, the leave of absence granted Captain A. A. Gibson, : J r u8 COL. WILLIAM M. McCLURE. CIIAPIN S FARM. II9 da}-, November 3rcl, the regiment in the meantime being held in readiness, when, instead of going to Newbern, as was anticipated by the men, two Battahons, the h^irst and Second, moved farther to the left of the line, occupying two or three batteries in addition to the breastworks between them. Rain descended during the whole night of the 2nd, and, after enduring it some time, with no indications of moving soon, the men unpacked their tents and blankets to use as protection from the rain. After the two mentioned Battalions went to the left of the line, the Third Battalion again pitched tents where it stood, and nothing worthy of note occurred in the regiment until Tuesday, November 8th, when the regiment held an election (as did other Pennsylvania troops therealjouts) for President, the candidates being President Abraham Lincoln ("old Abe") and General George B. McClellan ("Little Mac") The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artil- lery gave 167 majority for President Lincoln. The major portion of the votes cast by the regiment were those of young men, who thus enjoyed their first suf- frage as an American citizen — voting on age — and who manifested great interest in the matter. The polling was done by the men at headquarters of each Battery respective- ly, and the majorities in each w^re all in favor of Presi- dent Lincoln, "not one precinct for 'Little Mac,' " said Lieu- tenant Daniels, of Battery D, who electioneered for "Old Abe." The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery continued to occupy the same positions along the line from the 3rd of November until the i8th, and followed the usual routine duty — drilling, inspection, picket details daily, etc., except on the loth of the month, wdien details were sent to assist in digging wells around Fort Burnham, in anticipation of the enemy attempting to undermine and blow it up. The weather during this time was very undesirable, varying in rain and frosts principally. Colonel Fairchild left the Brigade on November 5th. 1864, first turning the command thereof to Colonel Mc- Clure. I20 CHAPIN S FARM. On the night of Thursday, November 17th, about 12 o'clock, picket firing, followed by booming of cannon and rattle of musketry, was heard in the direction of Bermuda Front, and the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was called into line at the breastworks on the left of Fort Eurn- ham, where it remained until after i o'clock, at which time the men were given the command "rest !" About 4 o'clock a. m., November i8th, the regiment was again called up, and Batteries D, E, F, G, H, I and M, in light marching order, were marched, double quick, under command of Captain Strawbridge, across the James river, via Varina road and the pontoon bridge at Aiken's Landing, to Bermuda Hun- dred Front, where it was learned the 105th and 107th P. V. had lost the picket line, with two redoubts — Carpenter and Dutton — being the cause of the firing heard at Chapin's Farm. About 12 o'clock that day (November i8th), with other troops, the Battalion advanced on the enemy, who after a short, but stubborn, resistance, was driven back, and the lost works were consec|uently recaptured, the Bat- talion's loss being very slight. At sundown the enemy made an attempt to retake the works, but the engagement was not very severe, resulting in a decided defeat of the Confederates. After the fight was over, about dusk, a heavy cold rain storm set in, continuing two days, during which the men suffered severely, the second day the rain freezing as it reached the ground, and the men were required to stand against the breastworks, without any shelter whatever in almost a foot of water, their tents, blankets and knapsacks having been left at Chapin's Farm. The position of the Battalion was to the right of the line, and it occupied Redoubts Dutton, McConihe and Car- penter, until the 20th, when it was relieved by some U. S. colored troops. Sharpshooting, as experienced at Peters- burg by the regiment, was kept up for a few days, ceasing when the colored troops left the front. Excepting the cold disagreeable rain, which, at inter- vals, continued until the 23rd, the Battalion enjoyed a com- paratively easy time in the works, only the usual routine. CHAPIN S FARM. I2I which included picket details daily, being required ; but on the date mentioned, the knapsacks, which were left at Chapin's Farm by the Batteries that left there on the i8th were returned to the men, who were very glad to get some- thing to protect them from the weather. The men were relieved from duty in the front works, and retired to a position in rear thereof, near the James river, where they pitched their tents and went into camp. Thursday, November 24th, 1864, the day set apart by President Lincoln as Thanksgiving Day, found the regi- ment enjoying clear, but cold weather, wnth tents to protect them therefrom, a supply of hardtack and an opportunity to REDOUBT McCONIHE, Bermuda Frout. procure some decent water to drink, for all of w^hich, as Chaplain Hunt said in addresseing the men, "we are very thankful " Rations of whiskey w^ere served the men at noon and at retreat. The next day, November 25th, the Battalion w^as given "a big feed." Turkeys, chickens, ducks, etc., kindly con- tributed by citizens of Pennsylvania, reached the regiment and were made into "chicken pot-pie," as the men termel it, i. e., stewed, with some broken-up hardtack, corn mea) and onions therein. Apples, nuts, oranges, etc., w^ere also liberallv distributed throughout the command. 122 CHAPIn's farm. The part of the regiment at Chapin's Farm sent greet- ings to that at Bermuda Fronts, in these words : "We'uns eat turk, and wish you'ns could jine us." The "Bermuda Renegades," as they were dubbed, rephed : "Turkey, chicken and duck tickle our palates and rejoice, with you, in having *a big feed." " On the following day, November 26th, the Batteries, except Battery M, in camp at Bermuda Front, marched back to Chapin's Farm, and were again assigned positions be- tween Batteries 2 and 3 in the breastworks facing the James river, a location where very little fear of an attack would be made by the enemy. While here, with little to do, the men availed themselves of the opportunity to visit Fort Brady and the Dutch Gap Canal daily. Colonel Fairchild, who had been absent on leave, re- turned this day and assumed command of the Brigade to which the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was at- tached, relieving Colonel McClure, who again took com- mand of his resfiment. The regiment had inspection of arms in the morning of November 27th, 1864, and dress parade in the evening, followed next day with drilling, artillery as well as infantry, using the guns in Batteries No. 2 and 3. The day following the men were kept in line behind the breastworks anticipating a move across the James river again, as heavy firing was heard in the direction of Bermuda Front, the heavy guns of Fort Darling and the Howlet House Battery, being almost in a direct line in front of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, could be heard very distinctly. At sundown the men were permitted to leave their positions in the breastworks. It is well to mention that the breastworks were never wholly vacated, as guards were stationed about every ten or fifteen feet, to give alarm in case the pickets began firing, the men's tents being pitched about twenty feet only to the rear of the breastworks. This same day, November 28th, Lieutenant William H. Wetherbee and fifty men of Battery M were detached from Brigadier General Graham's headquarters at Bermuda chapin's farm. 123 Front and sent to Redoubt Dutton, where they remained until January i ith. 1865. General inspection was held in the morning of the 30th of November, 1864, and dress i)aradc in the evening, the weather being very fine and suitable to such purposes, fol- lowed next day with drills, in the morning and afternoon, bv Batteries. 124 CHAPTER VIII. RETURN TO BERMUDA HUNDRED FRONT. On December 2nd, 1864, heavy cannonading was again heard going on at Bermuda Fronts, in the morning, and at 2 o'clock p. m., the Second Penns3dvania Heavy Artillery again marched over there, where a very brisk picket fire was carried on after dark, the regiment taking position in rear of the breastworks at a point midway of the James and Appomatox rivers, remaining there during the night, laying on arms after the picket firing ceased. The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was here attached to the Brigade commanded by General Graham. At daylight of December 3rd, 1864, the Second Penn- sylvania Heavy Artillery moved to a postion farther to the left, some of the men occupying quarters vacated by other troops and others pitching their tents. In the afternoon a brisk cannonading was carried on for about one hour by the batteries in the immediate locality of the regiment, but no casualties occurring therein. On the 4th of December, 1864, Colonel McClure was assigned to command the Provisional Brigade, composed of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, 115th New York and 62d Ohio regiments, and moved it to the extreme left of the Bermuda Front; Captain Strawbridge again commanded the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. A few days later the Brigade was designated "First Brigade, Infantry Division, Army of the James." Among the Confederate troops in front of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery at this time was the nth Virginia, which regiments faced each other on several oc- casions at different points along the line, including Peters- BERMUDA HIXDRKD. 12' burg, Chapiivs Farm and at Bermuda Front prior to the Chapin's l^^arm light. On December 4th. i)retty much all the colored troops were withdrawn from Bermuda Fronts, and the line of works, from the James to the Appomatox was occupied by the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery and the Tenth New York Heavy .Artillery, the latter known by themselves as "Lincoln's Pets," as narrated in Captain Webb's history of that regiment. It is well enough to here remark that President Lin- coln's pets were the whole L'nion .Vrmy, no one organiza- REDOUBT DUTTON, Bermuda Front. tion composing it being more of a pet of his than another, and no one regiment received greater favors from him than he would gladly bestow upon all if possible so to do. The writer, in justice to President Lincoln, and every military organization composing the Union Army, during the Civil War alike, verily believes, and President Lincoln's acts confirm the belief, that he loved one and all, ''with malice toward none, with charity for all,'' and Comrade Webb can- not show wherein President Lincoln showed greater favors to the Tenth New York than were shown the Second Penn- sylvania Heavv Artillerv while in the Defences of Wash- 126 BERMUDA HUNDRED. ington, or as before remarked, that President Lincoln would not be glad to bestow upon any other body of troops. The two regiments above mentioned were stationed — the Second Pennsylvania's left resting on the Appomatox river at the "Crows' Nest Lookout" and extending to Re- doubts Button, McConihe and Carpenter on the right, the Tenth New York's left resting thereon and extending to the James river. The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artil- lery occupied the redoubts. After the departure of the colored troops, picket firing, as well as sharpshooting, at Bermuda Front became a thing of the past, and the men of both sides resumed their former practice of trading — Coffee, sugar, etc., for tobacco — along the picket line, and conversing one with the other. The fol- lowing is an extract from one of S. M. Coursey's letters to the Watsontown Record and Star, showing how intimate the two lines became in the winter of 1864-65 : "The nights were getting quite cool and one night while on picket I burned my boots so badly they were quite worthless. We remained here until near Christmas, when we were sent back to Bermuda Front to retake the picket line that had been taken by the rebels from the one year regiments. I may not have the exact time, but I know it was in cold weather. We marched out and took our old line, the rebels vacating. I was on the extreme left of the regiment, where the Sixty-second Ohio joined us. Two of the Ohio boys were with me on the post. We were ordered not to build fires, but we kept a roaring blaze. The officer of the day was one of the one year men, and when he came along he ordered us to put out the fire. One of our boys told him that we had been on picket before and always had fire and never had a picket line captured. At this he rode on and we kept our fire all night. To my left one of the Johnnies called to one of our men to loan him an axe to cut some wood as they were nearly frozen. The axe was thrown over into the rebel line and was shortly after returned in good order." About this time the regiment was busily engaged in building winter quarters, or rather improving those built by the one year men — the log huts being enlarged to hold six men, instead of four, fire places were built in one end, with mud and stone for material. The huts were made "three- story," that is, three bunks, one above the other, were con- HHRMIDA HUNDHKD 127 structed by the adding of two logs to the heighth of the huts. Shelter tents were used for roofing. From the 29th of September to about the ist of De- cember, 1864, the weather would vary almost daily — rain, hot, cold, snow and frost — and a great part of the time the men were exposed to it, without shelter of any kind, so these huts w^ere considered palaces by the men, and though the picket duty required of them was excessive, owing to the few troops stationed betw^een the two rivers, yet, when relieved therefrom for a few hours, they had a "home" to go to, and highly appreciated it. Every favorable day drills, inspections and dress pa- rades were indulged in by the regiment. The usual routine of camp and picket duty, without any incident to deserve special mention, continued until the night of December 17th, 1864, when tlie enemy opened fire on some colored troops who had been placed on picket at the right of the line on the James river, and the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was formed in line behind the breastworks in anticipation of an attack, but the firing hav- ing ceased, returned to quarters after about one hour's time. A skirmish w^as had by troops on the picket line at the James river on the 23rd of December, cannonading con- tinuing throughout the night, and the following day the Confederate gunboats on the James attempted to descend the river, one of which was blown up by a Union battery, all of wdiich time the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was in line behind the breastworks. On Christmas Day, December 25th, special rations were cooked and served the regiment, among which were cabbage, ham, potatoes, onions, fresh bread, butter, cheese, beans and pickles. Many of the men not on duty went to the right of the line at James river, to see the bulkhead of "Butler's Dutch Gap Canal" blown up, which they termed "a fizzle." The following day a shotted salute was fired along the whole line, in honor of Sherman's victory at Savannah. From the 25th to the 30th of December, 1864, the rou- tine duty of one day on picket and one in camp was the 128 BERMUDA HUNDRED. order of service by the men; inspection and muster for pay took place on the 31st, rain, with a mixture of snow, descending aU day, and, at intervals, continuing throughout the night and the following day. At 9 o'clock a. m., on January 2nd, 1865, the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was called out and formed in line, then marched to the right to a point behind the breast- works in rear of Redoubt Button, where with other troops of the Division, three sides of a hollow square was formed, the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery occupying the ex"- treme left of the line. At 10 o'clock (the Division being at "parade rest") came Sergeant William G. Johnson and a "bounty-jumper," with Chaplain Hunt marching between them, they being preceded by the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery's Band and a platoon of Battery M, and followed by another platoon of the same Battery and a caisson with two coffins thereon. The procession entered the square at the extreme right and marched in front of the troops to the left, the band playing a dead mrcli. Then leaving the band and caisson and placing the coffin in front of two open graves, located midway between the right and left flanks of the troops, the convicted men were seated on the coffins and blindfolded by Lieut. Barber, of Battery M, who had com- mand of the executioners, being the two platoons from Bat- tery M mentioned above, the muskets of whom were loaded and stacked by officers at Division headquarters the night before; one-half of the arms had blank and the other half ball cartridges, so none of the firing party knew whether they had the ball or blank cartridge. The orders were read reciting the crime of the accused and the finding of the court martial, together with the approval from higher au- thority, with a warning to all soldiers of the danger of fol- lowing such an example. The signal was given to the first platoon to fire and the doomed men were shot and sank down, each on his own coffin. They were buried where they were shot and the troops marched back to their camps. Johnston, a former Sergeant in Battery D, of the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, who was transferred BERMUDA IirXDRKD. 129 to the "Imalitl Corps" on account of physical chsabilitics, and who retained his rank therein as ser^-eant. had command of a squad that ijuarded deserters in transit to and from I'ort -Monroe, and at a court martial it was in exidcnce that he had allowed hounty-jumpers to escape by payment of sums of mone}-. One of these men, who was recaptured "squealed" on Johnston, saying he paid him hfty dollars to permit him to escape. Both were condemned to he shot, after the trial by the court martial. Johnson walked erect until he arri\ed in front of his own rei-iment. when, as soon CORP. JOSEPH H MARTZ, Batterv D. as his eyes caught sight of its yellow regimental flag, he dropped his head and did not again raise it until after his eyes were blindfolded and he was seated on his cot^n. At the first fire Johnson was killed outright: he was shot through the head and heart, while the bounty-jumper was shot everywhere Init in a vital spot, and lingered a short I30 BERMUDA HUNDRED. time. It was, evidently, intended on the part of the execu- tioners. The regiment, on the fourth day of January, 1865, be- came a veteran regiment, its first term of enhstment having expired and a sufficient number of its officers and men hav- ing re-enhsted for an additional three years, it continued its existence as the "Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Ar- tillery." Many officers, and enlisted men, however, severed their connection with the regiment when their terms of en- listment expired, and it became almost a daily occurrence to see men shaking hands and bidding each other good-bye, one of whom was Joseph P. Zebley, of Battery E, whose letter to the writer in answer to one for information as to his last days of service follows : Philadelphia September 30, 1903- Comrade Ward: — The 7th or 8th of January, 1865, was my last night on picket duty at Bermuda Front. There was a 6-foot reb got inside of our vidette line • he was sent in advance to tind our men. I got him, and sent him to the rear. Thev missed him, and he told me that they were gomg to flank us on the right and come in on the left, and capture the whole line, but they did not do it, and I was very glad of it, for I was mustered out on the loth at Gen. Butlers headquarters, but Gen. Ord in command, Butler having been relieved about that time, for some cause. On the 9th it rained very hard, but I crossed the pontoons all right on the loth and got mustered out and started back for camp. The freshet in the river had sent the pontoons down to City Point, where the gunboats got them and brought them back. I had to wait all day, knee-deep in mud, before I could get back to camp. How- ever I got there, went around among the boys, and had a good time shaking hands, saying good-bye, etc. I certainly did feel bad at leav- ing them, but I had had enough of the "glories" of war, and was buoyed up with prospects of getting home alive to see the dear ones I had left three years before, which I did. I can't write my feelings, but you can guess them, for you have been there yourself. Yours in F., C. and L.. JOSEPH P. ZEBLEY." Battery A was relieved from picket duty at midnight of January 6th, to accompany Gen. Terry's expedition to Fort Fisher. The men were very elated at the prospect of "cocking cannon" again, and more especially as they were given to understand their services were required "on board vessels, where marching is unknown and good quarters to eat and sleep are provided." However, they did not find it BERMUDA HUNDRED. 131 SO, as "the vessel was over-crowded and the only grub en- joyed was the hard-tack and pork supplied at Bermuda Front before starting.'' The usual routine of camp life, then continued until the 14th of January, when the regiment joined in dress parade with the Brigade, at which the farewell address of General Butler was read to the command. A salute was fired, on the 17th of January, 1865, in honor of the capture of Fort Fisher, in which Battery A. of the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillerv \\as detached from the regiment to garrison. Nothing further occurred at Bermuda Front, except drills, dress parades, inspections, picket duty, etc., until the after- noon of the 23rd, when the regiment was called in line on account of picket firing on the right and shelling going on at the James river, which was kept up throughout the night. In the early morning following the enemy's gunboats at- temped to descend the river, one of which was blown up by a shell from the large Federal mortar at Battery 3 enter- ing its magazine ; the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, however, did not participate further than hold itself in readi- ness to repel an attack in its front, which was anticipated but did not occur. A Sergeant of Battery H was injured the following day by a gun carriage breaking his leg. Some 300 men of the regiment were hauling a seige gun to the James river, when, on descending a hill, the prolong parted, the men thereby losing control of the carriage with the foregoing result. Two or three other men were slightly injured. About this time it was a nightly occurrence for many Confederate deserters to enter the Union lines at Bermuda Fronts, some nights over thirty would be received along the picket line On the night of February i, 1865, the enemy advanced on the picket line held by Battery M, but were repulsed with the loss of several men, Battery M's loss being three haversacks, two canteens and one gun. Battery inspections only were the deviations from picket duty until the night of February 13th, when some picket firing was indulged in, bringing the regiment to the 132 BERMUDA HUNDRED. breastworks, where it remained until after daylight of the 14th. Another sortie was made on the picket line about i o'clock on the night of February i6th, 1865, the enemy being repulsed with considerable loss, many of those killed and wounded lay in front of the picket line next morning, several of whom were among the abatis, showing a deter- mined effort to break the line. The attack was made by 500 picked men of Mahone's Confederate troops, who formed in the ravine between the two lines, and were not discovered by the videttes of the Second Pennsylvania Vet- eran Heavy Artillery until almost Avithin twenty feet of them, when the alarm was given and deadly volleys poured into it by Batteries D and E, in front of whom the attack was made. The gunboat Commodore Perry, on the Ap- pomatox river did good service in firing shot and shell up the ravine, many of the enemy among whom was a major and a captain being killed and \vounded thereby. Some 100 prisoners were taken, and picks and shovels galore were picked up the next day. The intention of the enemy, evi- dently, was to capture the picket line and Redoubt Button, then advance their line between that and the Union breast- works, which would enable them to place a fort or battery in a position to control the Dutch Gap Canal. The Redoubts McConihe, Carpenter and Dutton about this time were garrisoned alternately by the several Bat- teries of the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery, a Battery at each redoubt — each Battery remaining there a week at a time. Except picket firing by the enemy, caused by Confed- erates deserting nearly every night, nothing of a noteworthy character transpired until the 28th of the month, when the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery mustered for two months' pay, and dress parade of the Brigade took place in the afternoon, on the plateau in rear of the "Crow's Nest Lookout," and special divine services were held by Chaplain Hunt, immediately after the dress parade on the same ground. On the fifth of March, 1865, a special inspection of the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery was made. BERMUDA HUNDRED. 1 33 and the result was the men were furnished with new cloth- ing a few days later. During the night of March 5th, sixteen Confederates came into the line occupied by Battery G, bringing seventeen rifles, one being that of the sergeant in charge of the squad, who was left asleep at the picket post from which they de- serted. A sergeant of the Tenth New York Heavy Artillery, who was taken sick on the picket line, was carried to the Point of Rocks Hospital early in the morning of March 6th, where he was delivered of a "bouncing broth of a boy," as "Timmv" Halin, of Battery D, termed it, and for the REDOUBT CARPENTER, Bermuda Frout. next three or four days the event created as great a c|ues- tion among the two regiments as to its parental relations as did "how old is Ann?" among the people in 1903. During these days and nights of comparative idleness in the regiment, Chaplain Hunt was ever on the alert to get "my boys" to gether in his large service tent, and either de- liver a sermon or give fatherly advice and comfort to his congregations, events which the writer verily believes ever remained in fond remembrance by those who were privi- leged to enjoy them. 134 BERMUDA HUNDRED. On the 7th of March, 1865, Colonel McClure presented his resignation to General Ord, which was accepted, and the order for his discharge was received next day, when he turned the regiment over to command of Major Benjamin F. Winger. RESIGNATION OF COLONEL McCLURE. "Hd. Qrs. Provisional Brigade, Defences oe Bermuda Hundred, Army of the James, Va. February 28, 1865. Lieut. Col. E. W. Smith, A. A. G. Department of Virginia. Colonel : — I have the honor to submit the following for consideration: On the 4th of January, 1862, I was mustered into the service of the United States as Captain, Batt. "F," 2d Pa. Art. In September last a leave of absence was granted me for the purpose of arrangmg regi- mental affairs (which had for a long time been in much confusion) at Harrisburg, Pa. Having performed that duty and procured a Col- onel's commission for Major Anderson, then commanding the regi- ment, I made arrangements for entering business in civil life when my term of service should expire. Unfortunately, Major Anderson was killed on Chaffin's Farm, on the 29th of September, leaving the regiment, then having an A. A. G. officer, to be commanded by a Captain. All the officers entitled to a discharge declared their intention to leave the service before the loth of February, 1865, making a complete reorganization of the regiment necessary. By unanimous request of the officers present, I accepted the position of Colonel for the purpose of reorganizing the regiment, and was mustered in on the 30th of October, 1864, intending to resign when I could do so without detriment to the ser- vice. Since that time 26 officers have been discharged, and 2,2 mustered in, which, with the recommendations awaiting action, completes the reorganization. Having performed my duty to the service, I now, very respectfully, tender my resignation and, hoping that it will be accepted in order that I may be enabled to fulfil private obligations which / am in honor bound to respect, I am, Very respectfully, Your Obedient Servant, W.

At a meeting of the officers of the 2d Pa. Vet. Art'y, held at Regimental Headquarters on the evening of the loth inst.. Major Ben. F. Winger presiding, and First Lieut. Albert P. Barber, secretary, on BERMUDA HUNDRED. 135 motion Captains Wm. S. Bailey. Jos. L. Iredell and First Lieut. Wm. S. Fiss were appointed a committee to draft resolutions expressive of their feelings in parting with their late Colonel. William M. McClure. The following resolutions were then presented and unanimously adopted : Resouveu — That amid the various changes that have occurred in the regiment, there has lieen none which has occasioned to us so much regret as the return to civil life of Colonel William M. McClure, by which the regiment has lost one of its brightest ornaments, one of its be.st friends, and the service one of its most devoted patriots and veteran soldiers. Resolved — That Colonel Wm. Al. AlcClure carries with him into liis new sphere of life the esteem and gratitude of his late Brothers in Arms, and that it is their earnest wish that the same success attend him in civil as in military life. Resoeveu — That a copy of these Resolutions be transmitted to Wm. M. AlcClure, late Colonel 2d Penna. Veteran Heavy Artillery. B. F. WINGER, Albert P. B.arber, Major 2d Pa. Vet. Art'y.

On the night of ]\Iarch 23, 1865, the enemy set fire to the woods between the two opposing hnes at Bermuda Front, evidently to better detect their men when attempting to desert, a nightly occurrence of which was carried on in excessive numbers. The regimental pay-rolls were signed by the officers and the men of the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery on the 24th of March, 1865, and on the following day orders were issued to pack up all surplus clothing p-e- paratory to it being sent to Norfolk, indicating another movement to be made by the regiment, the advent of two divisions of Sheridan's Cavalrv the next dav tending to confirm that belief by the men. The Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery was "in all its glory" the following day, March 27th, when the paymaster arrived and "settled accounts'' with the men. The fact that thei"e v.as no place to spend money, except at the sutler's wagon, where credit ad. lib. could be had as well as by paying cash, was no bar to the men's want of money, for l)e it remembered the great majority of the men had someone at home dependent, more or less, upon them, and these occasional payments of sixteen dollars per month for services were anxiouslv looked forward to bv such com- 136 BERMUDA HUNDRED. racles in the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, as well, also, by many other regiments. The General commanding the brigade inspected the regiment by Batteries on the 28th of March, after which nothing transpired demanding attention, not already speci- fied, until the afternoon of April ist, when all the guns from the Appomatox to the James river were opened on the enemy, followed by volleys of musketry, and in the '"melee" several in the regiment were wounded, mostly those on the picket line, firing being kept up all night. Throughout the night of the 30th of March, 1865. the Army of the James was marching past the camp of the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery, toward Petersburg, wdiich gave evidence that something new was to transpire, and the several Battery headquarters were watched by the men in anticipation of being called upon to participate ; and when it became known that the Confed- erates in front of the regiment under Gen. Longstreet, left on the 31st, the men of the "Second Heavy" were positive "we'll move." But not only did they remain spread out and cover ground vacated by those who left, but also were required to be more vigilant and do more duty. On the morning of April 2nd. 1865, the regiment sup- ported an advance made by two Battalions of the Tenth New York Heavy Artillery, at the right of the Second Penn- sylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery, but soon fell back with the loss of about one hundred men in killed, wounded and missing in the two regiments. A flag of truce w^as sent out in the afternoon, to bury the dead, which was accepted, and done, terminating at about 6 p. m., after which the regiment resumed its old position on picket line, lying on arms all night. About 8 o'clock on the morning- of April 3. the Third Battalion of the regiment, in lig-ht marching order, with Battery D as skirmishers, advanced, with other troops, and took possession of the enemy's works, meeting with little re- sistance, as the enemy was about retreating, and whose bat- teries were occupied with "Quaker guns" at the embrasures. The enemy was followed to Chester station,, where the Richmond and Petersburg railroad was torn up and a train BERMTDA HUNDRED. 137 of eighteen cars loaded with tc^bacco, and a lucuiinttive, were "ditched.'" Continuiiii;- the pttrsuit, picking up strag- olers. in sditads of live, ten and twenty, the command passed the inner line of works, which ran along some woods. The command ])ushed on through the woods containing a dense growth of underbrush of small dry cedars and fir, through which it was impossible to see more than ten to fifteen feet, and which comi)elle(l the line to become some- what broken, and most of the men's clothes were almost torn to rags. It soon emerged from the woods into an open field, then wheeled to the left on a double-quick, charging and capturing nearly all of Mahone's wagon-train, with many prisoners, on the road to Petersburg. After gathering in the wagons, mules, prisoners, etc., and sending them under guard, to the rear, with a six-gun batter^• that had become mixed up in the stampede, a halt w^as called. Batteries B and part of K during the night were placed on the picket line, under command of Lieutenant Gramlich, with a Xew York otiicer as "Division Officer of the Day." The main post was located on a cross-road — Petersburg and Danxille R. R. A number of prisoners were captured here, and the next morning, with consent of the Division Officer of the Day, Lieut. Gramlich took one man from each post, as a reconnoitering party, and advanced some dis- tance bevond the lines, capturing more prisoners, confiscat- ing a mule, harness and carriage, which were returned to the owner on taking the oath of allegiance. Detachments of Batteries K and ]\[ were sent on twenty miles further, to some coal pits, on the Richmond & Danville Railroad, reaching there about midnight, where they captured some prisoners and locomotives, returning to Chester on the locomotives (run by men of the detach- ments) with the prisoners taken, al)out 5 o'clock a. m., April 4th, from whence they marched to Point of Rocks, takins: boat to City Point, leaving the i)risoners, and about 4 p. m. started to march for Petersburg, where the\- re- joined the regiment about 11 o'cliK'k p. m. 138 BERMUDA HUNDRED. Shortly after Batteries K and M left for the coal pits, the Battalion returned to Chester Station, thence to Ber- muda Front, where it remained over night, and the next morning, the whole regiment was ordered to Petersburg, the march to which point was marked by considerable lag- ging, the men being burdened with knapsacks, five days' rations, etc., the step being quick, the weather rather warm and the roads muddy. The Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery at this time was in General Perrero's Provisional Division, and with which it marched to Petersburg, there relieving the First Division of the Ninth Corps, the regiment going into camp about a mile to the south of the city, in an apple or- chard, where arms were stacked and tents pitched after guards were stationed round about. Batteries M, B and H were detailed for duty in Pet- ersburg on the morning of April 7th. 139 CHAPTER IX. RETURN TO PETERSBURCx. On the 9th of April, 1865, with the whole army and navy, and the patriots of the country everywhere the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery was made to rejoice that the war was ended by the surrender of General Robert E. Lee to General Ulysses S. Grant. The loth of April, 1865, was a dreary day, so far as the weather was concerned, rain descending in torrents at times, but the ardor of the Army in general, and the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery in particular, was above par in rejoicing over the termination of the war, in consequence of which the men anticipated an immediate re- turn to their homes and families. Such, however, was not the fortune of the regiment, so far as an immediate return home was concerned, for it was ordered to duty in the Freedmen's Bureau, and was about the last volunteer regiment in the service to be dispensed with. The monotony of camp life by those at regimental headquarters was broken on April 12th. when dress parade was held towards sundown, and balls were held by the Bat- teries in the night, music for which was furnished by those belonging to the several Batteries, who possessed a fiddle, harmonicon, accordeon, or banjo, one or the other of which instruments could be found in every Battery in the regi- ment. Confederate troops, homeward bound, passing through Petersburg, and sight-seeing, in the city and along the lines of the city's defences, encompassed the attention of 140 PETERSBURG. those of the regiments not on duty for the first two or three clays after the surrender, when on April 14th, nearly every available man of the command was put on duty, picketing and guarding all roads, some over five miles from the citv, to intercept and capture, if possible, J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Lincoln, a full description of whom was given every soldier, and who was reported to be on his way to the lower Southern States. The arrests of persons were very numerous, and in- cluded women as well as men, some of the men who made such arrests saying the arrest was made by them "because she looked like a man." Chaplain Hunt held services at camp of the Second Battalion on the evening of April i6th, to which a large attendance from other Batteries and troops of other regi- ments were present, the Chaplain dwelling on the crime of Booth. He held ''special services" on the evening of the 19th of April, to wliich "all soldiers" were invited, and to whom he addressed a strong temperance lecture, which was well received and, evidenced by the subseciuent conduct of the men, had a salutary eft'ect. He also delivered a sermon to the men at camp of the First Battalion at noon that day, \\hich was preceded by Colonel Strawbridge inspect- ing the command. The following- assio-nments were made bv Colonel Strawbridge, each officer being accompanied by one or more Batteries of the regiment, to patrol and do guard duty in the counties mentioned : Surry Court House — Lieut. Col. Wringer. Brunswick Court House — Major Bailey. Sussex Court House — Major Schooley. Greenville Court House — Capt. INIercer. Prince George Court House — Capt. Norris. Dinwiddie Court House — Capt. Wilson. The several Batteries of the 2d Pennsyh'ania Veteran Heavy Artillery were moved from place to place, as occa- sion required, during the summer of 1865, to look after the freedmen and feed them, headcjuarters for such pur- poses being established at Dinwiddie, Brunswick, Sussex, PETERSBURG. 141 Llewellyn.

Xottowax' and other courthouses, all being- under the command of (ieneral ^^IcKibben. the district l)eing termed "District of the Blackwatcr." with headquarters in Petersburg, where Batteries r\l, II and B were located and doing patrol and guard duty. On the joth of Jul}-, Battery A. which had l)een on duty at Fort Fisher since its capture in January, returned to the regiment. On August 17th, lieadquarters of the regiment w'as moved to Poplar Grove, near headquarters of General Lee diu'ing the siege of Petersburg-, Battery G being de- tailed for guard duty at the camp. The Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was mus- tered for two months' pay on the 30th and 31st of August, 1865, two days being necessary as the command was so widely scattered, some over 65 miles away. On the nth of September. Batteries D, H, T and L, under command of Lieut. Colonel ^^'inger, with Lieut. \\'. L. Laughlin acting Assistant Adjutant, were sent to Burkesville, where they relieved the 24th C S. C. T. Headquarters were established in Burk's mansion, the "Sul)-District of the Roanoke" being the title of the dis- trict. Battery G was guard of honor on September 17th at the funeral of a Afajor belonging to the 103d Xew York Infantry. The following order was the hrst genuine indication of an early discharge from service received by the regi- ment : He.adquarters, District of the Xottoway. Petersburg, I'a., Xovember 2, 1S65. Gexer.-vl Orders No. 34. I. All Officers and men belonging to Companies A. B, D and I, 2d Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, and not on detached duty by orders from these Headquarters or higher authority, will immediately be relieved and rejoin their companies at Burksville, Va. n. The Officers of the Freedmen's Bureau will, without delay, assume the duties of Provost Marshals for their respective counties. They will report to their Sub-District Commander in matters apper- taining to the Provost Marshal's department, and to Capt. Stuart Barnes, Assistant Superintendent, 2d District, in those appertaining to the Freedmen's Bureau. 142 PETERSBURG. III.

Offici.\l : J. A. Buck, Lt. & A. Assistant Adjutant General. On December 19, 1865, the citizens of Petersburg held a tournament, the handbills for which stated, "No Yankees will be permitted to attend." General Gibbon issued an order that "No Federal soldier or officer shall assist in making the tournament a success, by loaning or contribut- ing horses, equipment, etc., or dignify the occasion by being present," in consequence of which the "tournament" was a "fizzle." Captain Dunkelberg. of Battery C, was placed under arrest by Major Schooley on December 21st for permit- ting his men to remove some shanties vacated by Battery H, but nothing further was done in the matter, as Colonel Strawbridge deemed it "inadvisable to create ill feeling on the eve of being mustered out of service." '43 CHAPTER X. CITY POINT — MUSTERED OUT. On December 22, 1865. headquarters of the Second Pennsyh-ania \'eteran Heavy Artillery was moved to City Point and the several Batteries were also ordered to report there as soon as relieved at their respective stations. The Batteries at Burksville and Petersburg were be- ing paid off on the 31st of December, while those at City Point were being mustered for pay, the latter being paid on January 8, 1866, and in less than twenty- four hours there- after five two-story buildings used as barracks by the Batteries at City Point were burned down, many of the men losing everything except what was in their pockets and on their backs ; weather bad, men suft'ering from cold. On the 3d of January, 1866, orders to muster the regi- ment out of the United States service were received at regi- mental headquarters, which, being promulgated to the regi- ment, created inexpressible joy therein, the men shouting and shaking hands in a genuine happy manner. The order for rendezvousing at City Point was received with great joy, and reads as follows: Headquarters, District of the Nottoway, Petersburg, J 'a., January 12, 1866. General Orders No. 3. The 2d Pcnna. Vet. Vols. Art'y is relieved from duty in this District, and will at once repair to City Point preparatory to being mustered out. The garrison of the City will be relieved by the companies of the I2th Infantry. The Commanding Officer of which will designate an Officer to act as A. Q. M., and receipt to Lieut. J. W. Dykens, 2d Penna. Vet. Vol. Art'y, for the public property. 144 "^'ITY POINT. Tlie records of the Sub-Districts will be turned into the Assistant Adjutant General at these Headquarters, by the respective Command- ing Officers. Bv Command of Major-General John Gibbon, W. H. ^lALE, Brvt. Maj. & A. D. C, Act. A. A. General. Official : S. D. Strawbrtdge, Col. 2d Pa. Vet. Heavy Artillery. The Batteries (A, B, D, H and I) that had been doing- duty in the "Sub-District of the Roanoke," with head- quarters at Burksvihe, arri\-ed at City Point January 12, 1866, and the fohowino- day the balance of the rcgmienL arrived from Petersburg. Details of officers and men from each Battery were made, on the 14th of the month, to prepare muster-out rolls. They worked day and night until the 28th of January, 1866, when the rolls were completed and ready for the mustering officers, the roll containing names, records, etc., of over five thousand men, making it nearly, if not cjuite, the largest roll of officers and men in any volunteer regi- ment of the Civil, or any other war, in which the United States were engaged. The regiment \vent on dress parade at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday, January 28, 1866, it being the last of those ceremonies in which the regiment indulged. Lieu- tenant Colonel Benjamin F. Winger being in command, and nearly every officer and man of the regiment then at City Point took part in making it a success. Captain J. Remington, of the Regular Army, per- formed the ceremony of mustering the regiment out of the United States service on January 29, 1866, and the next morning the regiment eml;)arked on the steamboats "S. O. Pierce" and "Lady Lang/' arriving at Fortress Monroe about 2 o'clock P. AL. where the "Adelaide" was taken for Baltimore at 6 o'clock P. M., arriving there about daylight of January 31st, then cars on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad were taken for Phila- delphia, the regiment arriving at the latter place just be- fore sundown. After forming in line on Prime Street the regiment marched up Broad Street to Ridge Avenue, thence to Camp MUSTERED OUT. 145 Caclwallader. going into camp there al)(»ut 7 o'clock P. M., lanuarv 31, 1866, where it remained until the men were paid off and received their final discharge papers, on l'>b- rnary 6. 1866. At Fortress Monroe Colonel Strawhridge received orders from General Terry to report to him. at Richmond, Va., when after bidding the officers and men good-bye, he turned the command of the regiment over to Lieutenant Colonel Winger, who accompanied it to Philadelphia. Adjutant Jerome Buck, mounted on Chaplain Hunt's horse and accompanied by Color Sergeant H. F. Rutledge and a corporal carried the flags of the regiment (or rather the staffs and what little of tlie flags were left) to Girard Street, above Eleventh, Philadelphia, on the 5th of Febru- ary. 1866. and turned them over to the proper State officer for preservation, taking his receipt therefor and turning it over to Lieutenant Colonel B. F. Winger. The colors are now at the Capitol at Harrisburg, preserved with many others, and can be seen at any time. During the services of the Second Pennsylvania Vet- eran Heavy Artillery, many of its officers and men were on detached duty at the headquarters of many other com- mands, and they all filled their positions with credit to themselves and the regiment. Among them were Lieut. Col. Oberteuffer ; Lew^ C. Fosnot, of Battery G ; Samuel S. Wint. of Battery M; \\m. H. Buck, of Battery L; Sam- uel E. Haines, of Battery C, and Robert Burns, of Bat- tery D. The Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery was the largest regiment in the Union Army during the War for the Union, and during its active service in the field, from May 27th, 1864, to April 9th, 1865, its record will compare favorably zvith a)iy si]nilar organizaiion for bravery, military bearing and discipline that was engaged during the War of 1861-5. There were 5,104 assigned and 211 unassigned men in the regiment. Total, 5,315. The largest Battery was G — 493 men; the smallest Battery was C — 343 men. 146 MUSTERED OUT. Mathew Loeven, Battery C, son of Captain Joseph Loeven, was but a little over 1 1 years old, and was bugler. Enlisted July ist, 1862. Discharged November, 1862. Edward Eckard, 73 years, enlisted August 26th, 1862. Discharged November, 1862, on account of age. The total number of deaths occuring in the regiment during the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery's service of over four years was 748. The last death in the regiment was that of Artificer John Kelley, of Battery D, which occurred' at Fortress Monroe while the regiment was on its way home. He was buried, with miltary honors, in Mount Moriah Cemetery, Philadelphia. February 3rd. 1866. HISTORY OF THE Provisional Second Penn'a Heavy Artillery.

Colonel of the Ti6th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, which participated in the battles of the Wilderness. Spottsylvania. and thereabouts, verv vividly describes the locality and battles in his history of his regiment under the caption of 'THE BLOODIEST SPOT ON EARTH." Fredericksburg, Chaxcellorsville, Salem Church, The Wilderxess, Spottsylvaxia, Spottsylvaxia Court House, Todd's Taverx, Po Rr'Er, Baxk's Ford. Fifty miles south of the capital of our country there is an old Virginia' city, quiet, quaint and beautiful— Fredericksburg on the Rap- pahannock. ' There is a peculiar charm about the ancient town, and it is replete with historic interest. Alary, the venerable mother of Washington, lived and died at Fredericksburg, and there the Father of his countrv would often come to visit her. It was before the days of steam and" train, and at least a day and a half from I\It. Vernon by coach and four was necessary when Washington made a call of affec- tion on the old lady. It is not at all likely that Mary Washington ever saw her son after he became President, as she^ died in October, 1789, Washington having been inaugurated in New York on April 30 of the same vear, the distance separating son and mother being very great in those davs of stage coaches. She had. however, the satisfaction of knowing of the final success of the Revolution and of the great honors paid to her distinguished son. The old homestead of :Mary Washington is still standing, and just in the rear, with only the gard'en separating, is "Kinmore", the house of her son-in-law. Colonel Fielding Lewis, another old-time colonial mansion, and verv interesting it is. The Hessians, after the surrender of Cornwallis, were camped for some time on the plantation, and there were artists among them who decorated the interior of "Kinmore" with nlastic ornaments of much merit. Colonel Lewis was married to Bcttv. the sister of \\'ashington, and the mother loved ^ to stroll through' the flowers of the back garden and over to "Kinmore" to spend the evening and take tea witli Betty Lewis. l6S THE BLOODIEST SPOT ON EARTH. INIary Washington was Iniried in the field just outside of the town. Her monument stood in full view of the Union and Confederate lines during the hattle, and was smashed and shattered by the shells of both armies, the fragments still lying scattered on the ground. After the war the ladies of the South raised a more costly and stately memor- ial by the grave, and because of their love for the memory of the mother of Washington, we say: "God bless the ladies of the South!"' About twelve miles south from Fredericksburg is Spottsylvania Court-House, and about the same distance west, perhaps a little more, is the Wilderness Tavern. Draw a line from each of these points to the others — from Fredericksburg to Spottsylvania, thence to the Wilder- ness Tavern, and back to Fredericksburg — and you have a triangle in which were fought several of the greatest battles of the War of the Rebellion. Or, perhaps better still, draw a circle — say, twelve miles, or a little more, in diameter — with Fredericksburg, Spottsylvania and the Wilderness Tavern on the outer edge, and inside that circle were fought the battles of the first and second Fredericksburg. Chancellors- ville, Salem Heights, the Wilderness, Po River, Todd's Tavern, Laurel Hill, Spottsylvania, Spottsylvania Court-House, Mine Run, and several minor fights and engagements. Within the circle more men have, perhaps, been killed and wound- ed than on any ground of equal area on earth. Forty years have made but little change in the appearance of the country. Signs of war are still strongly in evidence, the whole land torn, seamed and crossed in all directions by earthworks and revetements. Here and there are a few scattered farms, where the plowshare oftentimes turns up human bones, and wdiere httle children run out to tlie roadside to ofifer to the passing stranger relics of war, rusted bayonets, bursted shells and mouldering rifles, on v^'hich years of exposure have left their mark. The Wilderness is as of yore, and but little changed. Woods sol- emn and lonely; primeval forests, where the wild turkey finds a home, where the piping quail greets the morning and the whooping owl and melancholy whip-poor-will make evening sad; their song, harmonizing with the wind sobbing through the templed trees, sounds an eternal requiem over ground forever consecrated by martyr blood. Intervals there are where the undergowth is rich and luxuriant, but dead trunks of massive trees, charred and blackened by fire, mark spots where flames swept over the fighting line, burning up alike the dead and the wounded. The same remarkable and appalling percentage of killed and wounded in individual commands in single engagements that has made the world's record for heroism was repeated time and again on every battlefield within the circle of fire and blood. Let us recall some of the organizations that lost 50 per cent., or more, on this ground, keep- ing in mind that there is no record of any European regiment that ever lost so great a percentage in battle. The first Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, was redolent with heroic deeds. The fact that the battle was a mistake and a blunder, and the sacrifice useless, detracts not in the least from the honor that is rendered to the brave men ; but when we recognize the fact that the troops marched to death, knowing how hopeless the struggle, we must acknowledge that the fact but adds to their glory. The Twentieth Massachusetts was a great regiment, and lost at Fredericksburg 68.4 per cent, killed and wounded. It was in Norman Hall's Brigade of the Second Corps. The fire of Barksdale's Brigade of Mississippians was so deadly tiiat it was found impossible to con- THE JJLOOIJIKST SPOT OX KAkTII. 169 struct the pontoon bridge opposite the city, and the engineers were forced to give np the job. The fire of one huncb-ed and fifty guns was concentrated on the river front, but even that failed to drive back the Confederate ritlemen. Their fire was still sni¥iciently effective to prevent the completion of the bridge. It was then that the brigade of Norman Hall took up the work. The Seventh Michigan and Nine- teenth ]\Iaine, manning the boats, rowed across under the terrific fire, and leaped ashore to attack the enemy. The Twentieth Massachu- setts was one of the first regiments to cross, and to it was assigned the task of clearing the streets of the town. In column of companies, led by Captain George N. Macy, the command forced its way literally inch by inch, met by a severe and deadly musketry fire from house tops and windows, but finally succeeded in reaching the main street, the Confederates giving up the struggle and retiring to the heights beyond the city. It was a gallant fight and cost the Twentieth just 68.4 per cent, in killed and wounded and not one missing. The com- mand had fought on the Peninsula, at Antietam, and on every battle- field from the very beginning, and after Fredericksburg there was but little left for it. Four months afterwards it fought at Chancellors- ville, and seven months afterwards went into action at Gettysburg with 230 officers and men and lost 124 of them, killed and wounded. The Regiment had a remarkable fatality in field and staff officers — the noble Colonel Paul Revere killed at (jcttysburg; Lieutenant-Colonel Ferdinand Dreher killed at Frederickburg; ]\Iajor Henry L. Abbott killed at the Wilderness; IMajor Henry L. Patton killed at Deep Bot- tom; Surgeon Edward H. Revere killed at Antietam; and Adjutant Henry M. Bond killed in the Wilderness. This regiment had, all told, eighteen commissioned officers killed in battle. Captain George N. Macy was the senior captain — but a very young man— and, as acting major, commanded the regiment in the battle. When General Howard asked Colonel Hall who was to command the leading regiment and he pointed to Macy, Howard exclaimed, "What, that boy!" Colonel Hall replied, "Yes, that boy is all right and will lead it, and the regiment will follow anywhere you w'ish". The "boy"' afterwards lost an arm at Gettysburg, and at the close of the war was a Brigadier-General and Brevet Major-General. Meade's advance on the left, where, with the Pennsylyvania Re- serves, he struck the right of the Confederate line at Hamilton Heights, was a wonderful and brilliant charge. Looking over the plain wdiere the charge was made, and remembering that it was swept by the ene- mj-'s artillery, one is astonished to think that the Reserves ever reached the Confederate line, but they did, and drove it in and back through the timber, and, in a hand-to-hand fight, Sergeant Charles C. Upjohn, of the Second Reserves, tore from the hands of the color-bearer the flag of the Nineteenth Georgia Regiment, the only liag captured in the battle. Had Meade been left to his fate and not promptly supported, the Pennsylyvania Reserve division that he so nobly led would have been annihilated : but General William B. Franklin, seeing the trouble, promptly put in nearly the wdiole of the Left Grand Division, and the Reserves were saved, but not until after having met with an appalling loss. Gibbons's Division of the First Corps went into action on the right of the Reserves, and two regiments of that command were dis- tinguished, not only because of the great loss, but of the splendid fight they made, the Sixteenth Maine losing 54 per cent, killed and wounded, and the Twenty-sixth New York 56 per cent. 170 THE BLOODIEST SPOT ON EARTH. The Sixteenth IMaine was not exactly a new regiment, but had never been under fire until the morning of Fredericksburg. On that day it proved itself one of the finest regiments that ever left the Pine Tree State, and Colonel Charles W. Tilden made a name for himself in the half hour that the command was under fire. Seeing that he v.-as losing many of his men while holding a position to which he had been assigned, he led a remarkably successful charge on the works in his front, capturing several hundred prisoners, and in the hand- to-hand fight the bayonet w^as not only used freely, but relied upon almost entirely. The regiment advanced unsupported and alone, and, after the line of works, pushed into the woods and struck an over- whelming force of the enemy. Colonel Tilden was compelled to order a retreat, but not until he had left just 54 per cent, of his com- mand dead and wounded on the ground. The first one struck was the youngest soldier in the regiment. As the line was moving for- word, Benny Worth, a boy of 15, was struck in the head by a piece of shell. For a moment he was stunned and dazed, but, quickly re- covering himself and pushing the blood out of his eyes, he laughed and said, "All right ; this is what I came for". He was ordered to go to the rear; but no — he quietly picked up his musket and went on, never giving up until the last shot was fired. Charlie and ]Monroe Lyford were marching side by side. They were brothers, and Charley was one of the brightest and handsomest boys in the regiment. He fell dead, and Monroe, as he saw him fall, became frenzied with anger, and, leaping over the works with the fury of a madman and with lightning speed, began bayoneting right and left, screaming, "You have killed my brother; curse you!" The horrors of the battle are never so great as to prevent a smile, and a veritable laugh passed through the ranks when a piece of shell struck one of the boys' knapsacks, tore it open and lifted a pack of card high in the air, intact, when they suddenly spread out and came down like a shower of autumn leaves. The Twenty-Sixth New York was in the brigade commanded by Colonel Peter Lyle. The regiment went into action commanded by Colonel Gilbert S. Jennings. He fell wounded early in the day, and Major Ezra T. Wetmore commanded. The regiment fought side by side with the Nineteenth Pennsylvania Infantry, from this city, and the two commands were placed in position by Colonel Peter Lyle. I regret that I cannot give particulars of the fight of the Twenty-sixth. No history of the regiment has been published and no data are ob- tainable, but the fact of losing 56 per cent, killed and wounded in one morning's fight is sufficient to embalm the organization in glory. The charge of Hancock's Division on Marye's Heights, in the rear of the town, was truly a superb exhibition of American heroism. Going into an utterly hopeless struggle, simply to death and slaughter, in silence and without enthusiasm, was a supreme act of self-sacrifice at the call of duty and obedience. It was a tragic blunder, but a splendid effort. "C'cst magnifiquc iiiais cc ii'cst pas la guerre." March- ing on the deserted streets that were raked by fire, the only living thing in sight a solitary pussy cat sitting on a gate post, mewing dole- fully; passing out of the town, debouching into the fields and forming a line as perfect as on dress parade; then the advance of 1700 yards under a blizzard of shell and musketry, the men falling every step, singly and in groups, without any chance to strike back or even return the fire, onlv to march forward to be crushed and hurled back in de- Till-: I'.LOODIKST SPOT ON KARTH. 17I feat. It took j;rcat courage to advance under the circumstances, yet the division line did go ft)r\vard without break, tlie colors flying, and the gaps knocked in the ranks closing up as quickly as the rain of iron made them. And then the few minutes' firing at the base of Marye's Heights while the sheet of fire leaped from the stone wall by the sunken road, the order to fall back, and all was over. Of the gallant division that Hancock led forward e.\actly 40.2 per cent, were dead and wounded on the frozen ground. The First Brigade, General Caldwell, had lost 50 per cent, killed and wounded and six of the seventeen regiments that composed the division had each lost 50 per cent, or over. None were missing, and no prisoners were left in the hands of the enemy. The Iieaviest loss in killed and wounded was in the Eighty-first Pennsylvania In- fantry, 67.4 per cent. The next was in the Fifth New Hampshire, 60 per cent. Then came the Sixty-ninth New York, with 53 per cent. ; then the Fifty-third Pennsylvania, Seventh New York and Eighty- eighth New York, each with 50 per cent, killed and wounded. The Fifty-third Pennsylvania Regiment was commanded by Colonel John R. Brooke, now a ]Ma.ior-General of the regular army. Hancock said of him : "Being unhurt, he was enabled to perform the highest service to his country, and added to the laurels he and his gallant regiment had already won on many fields". The Eighty-first Pennsylvania was commanded in the battle by Colonel H. .Boyd ]\IcKeen, a noble young officer, who was wounded at Malvern Hill, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, and killed at Cold Harbor. The Fifth New Hampshire was led into the fight by Colonel Ed- ward E. Cross, who, six months afterward, was killed at Gettysburg. He fell early in the action with five wounds. Major Edward E. Stur- tevant then took command, and was almost instantly killed. Captains Perry. Murray and Moore and Lieutenants Ballon, Nettleton and Little fell dead in quick succession. The color sergeant and all the color guards went down almost in a heap. Nineteen officers went in with the regiment, and seventeen of them were killed or wounded. The Irish and the Germans fought nobly side by side for the land of their adoption, and both nationalities were distinguished. The Sixty- ninth New York (Irish) was commanded by Colonel Robert Nugent, who fell badly wounded. Nineteen commissioned officers went into the fight with him, and sixteen of them were killed and wounded. The Seventh New York (German) was commanded by Colonel George von Schack, and went in with twenty-five officers, of whom eighteen were killed and wounded. Colonel von Schack was a hand- some and accomplished officer. He was a captain of cavalry in the army of Prussia. Securing three years' leave of absence, he came out here and commanded the New York regiment. He was as brave as he was handsome. After the close of the war he resigned his commission in the service of the King of Prussia, and settled in New York. Believing that to be an American citizen was better than to be a German officer, he took out his papers and became a full-fledged American, showing that he was as sensible as he was gallant and brave. It is difficult to say just what regiment went furthest, or what colors were carried nearest to the celebrated stone wall, and it is of little moment, as they all were close, and it is a question of a few yards, but there seems to be but little doubt of the fact that the bodies 172 THK BLOODIEST SPOT OX EARTH. found nearest to the mouth of the Confederate guns were those of Major Horgan and Adjutant Young, of the Eighty-eighth New York. The casualties among the officers were unusually great. The tield officers were ordered to dismount and go in on foot, and regimental commanders walked in front of the colors. This would account in a manner for the severe loss, as the colors were conspicuous marks for the enemy. Many of the regiments had three or four commanders during the day. The Ffth New Hampshire had five commanders, the first four being killed or wounded. The Sixty-ninth New York was brc^ught off the field by the fourth commander, the first three bemg killed or wounded. Colonel Nelson A. Miles command- ed his own regiment, Sixtj'-first New York, and also the Sixty-fourth of that State. The third commander brought the two regiments from the field. Hancock says of Miles : "He was severely wounded, and con- ducted himself in the most admirable and chivalrous manner, and his command behaved with a steadiness unsurpassed by any other troops". While Miles was badly wounded, he recovered quickly enough to be present at Chancellorsville, less than five months afterwards, to be terribly wounded once again, distinguish himself still more and gain a Congress jNIedal of Honor. The Chancellorsville wound was pro- nounced by the surgeons mortal, the ball passing through the bowels and fracturing the pelvic bone. The doctors said that he had no right to live and declared that he could not, and for the honor of the faculty he should certainly have died, but he still lives. ]\liles is a hard man to kill, anyhow. The One Hundred and Forty-fifth Pennsylvania had two com- manding officers. Colonel H. L. Brown, of Erie, being wounded. The One Hundred and Sixteenth Pennsylvania was brought from the field by the fourth commander, the three field officers being wounded. The Second Delaware had three commanding officers, the first two being wounded. The Eighty-first Pennsylvania had four commanding officers, the first three being shot down. The Fifty-seventh New York had three commanders. The Sixty-third New York had three commanders. The Sixty-sixth New York had four. During the battle Colonel James J. Bull and Captain Julius Wehle were killed, and another officer wounded, while in command. The color sergeants and color guards of the different commands suffered equally with the officers, many being killed under the flags, but never did the colors fall but gallant souls rushed forward to raise them. Not a color was lost. The color ser- geant and all the color guard of the Sixty-ninth New York were shot down close to the enemy's guns, and when the regiment fell back the colors were missing. Two days after, when the detail went back to bury the dead, the color staff was found; near it lay the color sergeant, cold in death. When they were about to lay the body in the shallow gvave the flag was found tucked into his blouse. In his dying agony he had stripped it from the staff and placed it near his heart. While the fighting at Chancellorsville, j\Iay 2d and 3d, was severe and the losses in both armies very great, yet there was but one regi- ment on record that lost in that battle 50 per cent, in killed and wound- ed. It was the One Hundred and Forty-first Pennsylvania Infantry, recruited in Bradford, Susquehanna and Wayne counties, of this State, by Colonel Henry J. Madill. The regiment was heavily engaged during the evening of the 2d, and was on the picket line and under fire during the entire night of that day. On the morning of the 3d it charged the enemy's line and fought with the greatest persistence and courage. Tin-: I'.I.OODIEST SPOT ON KAk'lll. 173 Lieiitonant-Colonel Guy H. Watkiiis w.-is twice wouiidcd, but refused to leave tlie field, and was finally shot through the hreast and taken pris- oner by the enemy. He was shortly afterwards exchanged, and was killed in front of Petersburg, June i8th, 1864. Captains Abram J. Swart and James L. Mumford and Lieutenant Logan O. Tyler were killed, and Captain Tyler and Lieutenants Ball, Hurst and Atkinson were wountled. The color sergeant fell, and Captain Swart seized the flag, raised it and fell dead. Twelve of the officers of the regiment were killed and wounded, and, notwithstanding the fearful loss at Chancel- lorsville, this magnificent regiment, just three months afterwards, lost at Gettysburg 63 per cent, of those present, killed and wounded. At one time during the heaviest firing the men seemed for a moment to waver. Human nature was exhausted, and could .stand no more — incessant marching and fighting and want of sleep; the men were be- coming dazed, and when half the command was down, dead or wound- ed, there came a time when it would seem that the brave line would give way. Colonel Henry J. Madill quietly took the flag from the hands of the color-bearer, and, planting the staff in the ground, with his hand on the Inmting, he burst into song with : "Rally round the flag, boys, Rally round the flag. Shouting the battle cry of freedom." The men took up the refrain, new life animated the tired souls. Without another word the line braced up, and many a man fell with the song on his lips. The fighting at the second battle of Fredericksburg was severe, and heroic actions were numerous, but as no regiment lost 50 per cent, killed and wounded, we shall pass it over. However, a day or two afterwards, at Salem Heights, there were .several commands that met with the losses mentioned. The Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania had every second officer and man killed or wounded. This splendid Philadelphia regiment held an advanced position, where the fighting was desperate and severe. The losses among the officers were extremely heav}^ All the field and staff were killed or wounded. Colonel Gustavus W. Town, Lieutenant-Colonel Elisha Hall, Adjutant Eugene D. Dunton, Captain D. G. Chapman and Lieutenant David T. Hailer were killed, and ^lajor Thomas J. Town. Captains H. Oscar Roberts and George Weest, and Lieutenants Samuel H. Town, Frank Stewart, Samuel H. Jones, Samuel Topham and William J. Gelson were wounded. The Ninety-fifth ranks with the Twentieth Massachusetts in having the largest number of field and staff officers of any regiment killed in battle, each having six. Of the Ninety-fifth, Colonel John M. Gosline and Major William B. Hubbs were killed at Gaines's Mill, Colonel Town, Lieutenant-Colonel Hall and Adjutant Dunton at Salem Heights, and Lieutenant-Colonel Ed- ward Carroll fell in the Wilderness. The three Town boys w-ere brothers, and the fact of all three fall- ing in the same battle, the Colonel being killed and the Major and Lieutenant badly wounded, was one of those coincidences that go to show the severity of the fighting. In the battle of Salem Heights the One Hundred and Twenty- first New York made a great record and a noble fight. The regiment was recruited in Otsego and Herkimer counties, in New York State. The original Colonel was Richard Franchot. He resigned early in the 174 THE BLOODIEST SPOT ON EARTH. war to take his seat in Congress, and a young graduate of West Point, Emory Upton, succeeded him. The organization was afterwards called "Upton's Regulars". The regiment made a sweeping charge in this battle, and burst through the lines of Confederates. The loss in killed and wounded was 62 per cent., and the fight did not last more than twenty minutes. Captains Nelson O. Wendell and Thomas S. Arnold and Lieutenants Ford. Upton, Doubleday and Bates were killed, and almost every other officer was wounded. Just one year afterwards Upton led the regiment in a cyclonic charge at Spottsj^lvania. in which the command again suffered a fearful loss. Captains Butt and Fish and Lieutenants Pierce and Pettengill were killed. The regiment captured four Confederate flags at Rappahannock Station and two at Sailor's Creek. During its term of service it had fifteen officers killed in battle and four died of disease, and twenty-seven officers were wounded, and only two regiments from New York, the Fortieth and Sixty-ninth, had more men killed in battle. In the Wilderness campaign promotion was rapid. An officer who remained with his command was sure to be quickly advanced or surely killed. The brigade to which the writer was attached began the Wil- derness campaign May 5th with ten field officers present for duty. Within six weeks si.x of the ten were dead, killed in battle, and the other four were in the hospital badly wounded, and the brigade was commanded by a captain. The nine brigades of the Second Corps had thirty-seven commanders during the first six weeks of that campaign. An average of three to each brigade had been killed or wounded. The Ninety-third New York Infantry was recruited in Washington county of that State, and on the first day of the Wilderness made the sanguinary record of 60 per cent, killed and wounded. The regiment fought in the forest, in front of the Brock Road, just to the right of tlie Orange plank road. It was Hays's brigade of the Second Corps, and was placed in position by General Hancock himself. It held the ex- treme right of the corps, and as the head of the column arrived near the point of attack Hancock ordered Colonel Crocker to form line quickly and move into the woods. L'nsupported and alone, the brave regiment advanced through a dense thicket of bushes, briars and bram- bles, and within five minutes was hotly engaged. The command had met the head of Heth's division of Hill's corps. The regiment made a glorious fight, holding the line with unflinching courage, although out- numbered and outflanked. Half an hour passed, with no supports or assistance coming, and the reason then became apparent. General Hays, the brigade commiander, had been killed, and hence confusion. Colonel Croker, finding himself in command of the brigade, hastened to bring up the other regiments, and not a moment too soon. The brave boys of the Ninety-third were still on the line, but 60 per cent, of them were dead and wounded. After the sun went down and darkness fell, the survivors, after sending the wounded to the rear, gathered picks and spades and reverently buried the dead on the line they had held so nobly. "Ah", said one of them, "tenderly and with sad hearts we buried our dead comrades. Parting with them in the dark forest was a sad thing to do. We had long been friends, tried and true friends; we had messed together; shared with them our store of ra- tions ; drank from the same canteen ; slept under the same blanket in all kinds of weather, whether the stars were shining or the storms were beating upon us. In danger, shoulder to shoulder; in sickness, hands rough but tender soothing the fevered brow ; and so at midnight we l)ruary. 1865. l88 COLD HARBOR. Being- relieved by other troops on the morning of June 8th, the regiment retired to camp some distance to the rear, an'd was engaged in drilling and ordinary camp duty only until the night of the nth, when it again entered the trenches, remaining there, under a continuous fire of the enemy, until about dusk on June 12th, when it left the breastworks, and, with the Ninth Corps, started on the march towards Petersburg, acting as rear guard to the corps. The march was kept up until three o'clock the next morning, when a halt was made in a valley near the York river, the men taking advantage thereof to make coffee, of which a limited supply was possessed by the men, but much less, if any, possessed any other rations. The atmosphere changed from very warm to almost freezing in this valley, and the sudden change was severely felt by the men. At daylight marching was again resumed, the regi- ment passing AMiite House about noon, and at midnight encamped in a corn field, where the men parched corn to appease their appetites. Resuming the march at daybreak of the 14th, the Chickahominy river was crossed near Pleasant Grove, and at eleven o'clock the York and Richmond railroad, the regiment going into camp soon after dark, on the edge of a woods. The forced marching made heavy inroads on the strength of the command, stragglers galore being seen in all directions, and that night the Provisional Second Penn- sylvania Heavy Artillery resembled more a small battalion than a regiment, many men succumbing to fatigue and sun- stroke, the effects of which proved even more disastrous to the regiment than did bullet and shell. And this state of affairs did not apply to this regiment alone, but was eciuall}' as severe in other regiments. In going into camp not over one in five of the men pitched tents, but just threw them- selves down and went to sleep. 1 89 CHAPTER IV. Petersburg. Marching- was resumed at daylight of June 15th. the Provisional crossing the James ri\er on pontoons at West- over landing about nine o'clock A. ]\r.. where a halt was made until about two o'clock on the morning of the i^th. At that time the regiment started on a. forced march for Petersburg-, about thirty-six miles distant, stopping about ten minutes for rest about 9 o'clock A. ^L, the sun l)eing broiling- hot. dust \cry thick, with n(^ rations and very little water to be had after leaving the James river. From June 2 to June 15, 1864, the official report of cas- ualties in the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Ar- tillerv were: 3 men killed, 17 wounded, 4 officers and 81 men captured or missing-. Total, 105. In this official re- port no notice is taken of the wounding of Colonel Wil- helm. About dusk that night the regiment reached a position in rear of the Second Corps, the men being hungry, footsore and w-earv. and. laying on arms during the night, with shot and shell dropping around them, were soon asleep withal. General ^leade gave orders to attack the enemy at day- light on the morning of June 17, 1864, and two divisions of the Ninth Corps — Ledlie's and Potter's — were selected to make the attack, the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavv Artillerv belonging to the former command. At daylight of June 17th, the Provisional Regiment formed line of battle and advanced under a heavy fire of shot, shell and musketry, over a field the Eighteenth Corps fought o\er the two days previous, and on wliich many dead and wounded still lav. 190 PETERSBURG. A comrade, famishing for water, was wounded by a piece of shell, and Gaylor W^ood, of Company A, being apprised of it, ran over to the wounded comrade and handed his full canteen to him, taking the empty one, saying, "The Lord will provide." The firing was so heavy the regiment took cover be- hind a hill, on which the enemy concentrated his fire, com- pelling the regiment to remain there until towards evening, when it advanced to a ravine a short distance in front, where arms were stacked. Shortly after, r^lajor ]\Iarsland called "Attention, Second Heavy!" and the adjutant announced that the regi- ment would be called upon to make a charge on the enemy's lines that evening. About eight o'clock the regiment advanced, crossing the run and ascending the opposite embankment, on gaining which the command "Double quick!" was given, and the regiment, first crossing an oat field, then an open field con- tainino- a wide ditch, all the time under a heavv fire of grape, canister and musketry, charged into the enemy's breastworks, driving the Confederates therefrom and cap- turing many prisoners. The regiment held the works until about two o'clock the next day. under a contniuous heavy fire from the 'eiiemy, \\hen troops from the Second Corps came forward and relieved the regiment, permitting it to return to the rear to reorganize its ranks. In this charge Company C alone lost 39 in killed and wounded. John D. AN'areing, color sergeant, was the first man to fall, ha^•ing his leg taken off by a grape shot. Minus Devins picked up and carried the flag a short distance, when he too was shot down, and died from the wound. Corporal John F. Decker, of Company K, was severely wounded in the leg immediately after \\'areing fell. Lieu- tenant Thomas C. Sharp vras killed next, followed by Lieu- tenant Samuel W. Clark having a leg shot oft'. This left Company C without a commissioned officer, and soon the orderly sergeant, O'Leary, fell, leaving the company with but one sergeant and a corporal to guide the men. After the above the men seemed to be falling at every step, and PETERSBURG. UJI the res^-inient was iicarl\- depleted of commissioned officers and first serg-eants. Compan}- A went into the fight without a com- missioned officer, as Captain Krepps, who w'as taken sick at Alexandria was still aljsent, and Lieutenants Anderson and Harvey were captured at Cold Harbor. First Sergeant David W'oif was in command, but early in the engagement was severely wounded while endeavoring to capture a Con- federate flag, and while being assisted to the rear was again shot and killed. At roll call on the morning of June i8. 1864, less than one-third of the original membership of the regimert an- swered thereto. The day was spent in l)urying the dead and recovering" the wounded. The following day the Provisional Second Pennsyl- van.ia Heavv Artillery lay in camp, no rations and little water fit for drinkirg purposes was to be had. ONE DAY WITH THE •'PROVISIOXAL." After crossing the James river. June 15. 1864, we were a tired and foot-sore lot of boys, but on the morning of the i6th we took up our forced march for "the front, and about to o'clock the following day we heard the booming of artillery in our front, when the boys began to cheer arid close up, knowing that the terrible march was soon tocome to an end. About noon we came to a large opening in the timber, but we soon discovered it was slashing nearly half a mile wide, and the worst we ever had been up against. It had been pine timber from 4 to 8 inches over, and cut so as to fall one way. and those Jack pines hanging on the stump about 3 feet from the ground, the branches all trimmed off. with the sharp points meeting us, and so close together you could not see through them. As soon as _we came to them we were immediately ordered into line of battle. _\Vell, we were ragged enough before we struck that, but when we finally got through that slashing our clothes were hanging ir tat'ers. This place had been commanded by a field fort nearly a mde distant, which had been taken the evening before by the old regiment in the i8th Corps, as the dead were still laying on the ground. It was in the outer defences around Petersburg. A portion of this field was planted in corn. We only adxanced a short distance until we came to a ravine, when we were halted in line, and the Johnnies were busy over on the other side running their guns into battery. Our troojjs had a heavy skirmish line over on their side only a little lower down under the brow of the hill. The officer in command of these troops called over to us saying: "Whoever has con:mand of those troops had better move out of that or you will be cut to pieces," when 192 PETERSBURG. . we were ordered forward, and had not gone more than a hundred paces down toward the ravine when the battery opened with grape and canister, the shots barely going over our heads, and literally sweeping the ground, we had occupied; only about tw'O minutes before. On entering the ravine, we laid down to t-est. Part of the regiment was then advanced up the other side, on the skirmish line. Here we found a spring of- good, clear, cold water, something we had not tasted since we left Spottsylvania. Fighting was now brisk all along the line, but we were allowed to rest until toward evening, when we were ordered to fall in line, and then moved down the ravine to the right, in rear of part of the Second Division, which had been repulsed twice in the afternoon trying to take a masked batterj- in an angle of a woods on the crest of the hill. We formed in line — 14th N. Y. in front. Provisional in second line, supporting, when the order rang out: "Forward! Double quick! Charge!" Both lines started up that hill, but the Johnnies had been watching us long enough to get ready for us, for in less than three minutes it was so dark you could not see ten paces either way, from smoke of guns and bursting shells. They were simply cutting us to pieces, and then, to add to the horror of the situation, part of the 14th N. Y. gave way and fell back on us, and we could not go forward until we moved to the right flank and got around them, when, with a forward dash, we took the rebel works, with two cannon, but with a terrible loss — Company B losing 5 killed and 26 wounded, and I understood the other companies suf- fered about the same loss. It was then dark, and other troops coming forward we turned in to care for- our dead and wounded, and worked nearly all night attending to them. The next- morning, the i8th, when we got together it certainly was a scene of sadness to witness. When Orderly Sergeant Deiderich called the roll and so few to answer "here," and no response to so many names that sang out '"here" on the evening before the charge. Although Sergeant Deiderich was as brave a boy in battle as ever lived, when so many of those boys' voices were silent that were used to answering "here !" he broke down and zvcpt, and I admit most all of us did the same. From that on it was dig and fight every day, and night too, until the battle of the "Crater," July 30, 1864, when we, as a regiment, were about wiped out. JOHN P. DAVIS, Company B.

DAVIS, Company B. Received eight wounds July 30, 1864. 1 94 PETERSBURG. a piece of timber in front of the main line of the enemy's works. During the night I constructed breast-works in front of my lines, and at daylight on the morning of the 17th I was ordered to move forward in support of General Potter, who was then advancing on the enemy's works, comprising Battery 14, with its connecting lines of defense. I immediately ordered forward my division, and occupied Battery 15 and Battery 16, with the earth works con- necting. With the exception of several slight changes, my division remained in the last-named position until about d. p. m., when I was ordered to support an attack to be made bv the Third Division, under General Willcox, and ac- cordingly moved my command to the ravine in front, and to the right of the Shrands house^ The Third Division not having succeeded in its attack, I was ordered about 5.20 p. m., to form my division for a charge upon the enemy's works, which were from .-^oo to 500 yards west of the ravine. I ordered the First Brigade under Col. J. P. Gould, and the Second tsrigaae, unaer L,ieut. Col. Joseph H. Barnes, to form in line of battle below the crest of the hill west of the ravine, and placed the Twenty-first Massachusetts Volunteers on the right of the line, the left conrecting with the main line of battle, but forming a line at an angle of about 45 degrees to the main line, to cover any flank movement that might be made by the enemy on my right, and the left of the Second Brigade was ordered to be thrown back at about the same angle for the accomplishment of the same object on my left. The Third Brigade under Lieut. Col. B. G. Barney, was formed in two lines about 100 paces in rear of the First and Second Brigades. The One Hundredth Pennsylvania Volunteers, under Lieutenant-Colonel Dawson, were thrown out as skirmishes and covered the front of nearly the whole line. At this juncture the enemy's batteries — one in front of the extreme left ct my line, one still farther to the left, and one some distance on the right (all of which swept the position we were about to storm) — opened with shell and canister upon my lines, killing and wound- ing 32 men before I advanced. The skirmishers were then temporarily with- drawn; but in a short time afterward they were thrown forward, and I gave the order for the charge, with directions to my command not to fire a shot until reaching the enemy's lines. The line was then moved forward with bayo- nets fixed, charging at a run over the entire distance with steadiness and Bravery. The Third Brigade followed enthusiastically, gaining distance at some points on the first line. The men charged the works fiercely and bravely, mounted the parapet and leaping quite over the ditch into the enemy's lines, where the fight became a hand-to-hand conflict, my men using the bayonets and breech, and succeeded in carrying the works in handsome style. The troops pressed forward and also succeeded in taking another line of the enemy's works, running at a slight angle to the main line, and refusing at a point about mid- way between that and the woods in rear. The enemy then kept up a desul- tory fire for several hours from the woods, which was steadily returned by my command. Too much praise cannot be accorded the men making this charge, subject as they were not only to a terrible fire of shell and canister from the batteries previously referred to (which raked the whole of the field from the ravine to the enemy's works), but to heavy and continuous volleys of musketry, without discharging a single piece in defense until the object of the charge was accomplished. My brigade commanders deserve especial praise for the gallant manner in which they led their troops, and the valuable assistance rendered me in carrying out the orders received from the corps commander. The First Brigade (comprising the Fifty-sixth, Fifty-seventh, and Fifty-ninth Massachusetts Volun- teers) was commanded by Col. J. P. Gould; The Second Brigade (composed of the Twenty-first and Twenty-ninth Massachusetts Volunteers, the One hundredth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and the One hundredth and Seventy-ninth New York Volunteers) was commanded by Lieut. Col. Joseph H. Barnes; the Third Bri- gade (composed of the Fourteenth New York Volunteer Artillery, and the Second Provisional Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery) was commanded by Lieut. Col. B. G. Barnev. ********* I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, JAMES H. LEDLIE, Brigadier-General Comdg. First Division, Ninth Army Corps. Lieut. Col. Lewis Richmond, Assistant Adjutant-General, Ninth Army Corps. About ten o'clock P. M., of the 20tli of June, the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery again moved to the front line of works, relieving the colored PETERSBURG. 195 troops therein, and remained there, under continuous fire of sharpshooters and cohorn mortars, until the 22d, when it was reheved and returned to cami), where two days' rations were served the men. The re«-iment returned to the pits on the foHowin^ evening, and on the 25th rations were again served the men, inchuUng whiskey, the first rations of the latter served the regiment since lea\ing Alexandria. The whiskey was "salted" with cjuinine, as chills and fever were beginning to make themselves known among the troops, owing prin- cipally to the water they were compelled to use. the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery Regiment remained in the trenches until the night of June 28th, when it was relieved and retired to its camp in the rear, losing in the last five days 30 men, killed and wounded, bv sharpshooters and shells. The Official Records, from June 15th to the 30th, 1864, places the losses in the regiment as follows: Killed, I officer and 39 men; wounded, 6 officers and 187 men; captured and missing, 13 men — a total loss in fifteen days of 246 officers and enlisted men. Part of the regiment was returned to the pits on the evening of the 29th, Company B being placed on the picket line; and the following evening the balance of the regiment re-entered the earthworks. Company B was re- lieved from picket duty early on the morning of July i, and returned to the regiment in the pits. The Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery remained in the earthworks until the night of July loth, when it was relieved by the looth Regiment of Pennsyl- vania Volunteers. The loss in killed, wounded and missing since June 29th reached twenty-four, officers and men. On the evening of July 11, 1864. the regiment w^as again marched into the trenches, and thus alternating with the 1 00th Pennsylvania until the morning of July 28th, when the Provisional Regiment was relieved and retired to its camp, where it was inspected by the brigade com- mander, after which rations and forty additional rounds of cartridges were issued to the men. 196 PETERSBURG. At two o'clock A. M., July 30, 1864, the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery entered the pits again, this time immediately in front of the fort that Col. Pleas- ants' 48th Pennsylvania Regiment had undermined and charged with powder. The issuing of ammunition to the Provisional men, and the placing of them in this position admonished them there was something going to be done out of the ordinary daily routine of dodging sharpshooters and "juking" mor- tar shells. On re-entering the breastworks about two o'clock on the morning of July 30th, the Provisional men were ordered to remain quiet as possible, but not permit themselves to become asleep, as they would be called upon soon to make an attack on the Confederate line. It was not very long, however, before every man in the regiment knew what to anticipate, as the many officers passing along the line gave indications that the mine underneath the fort in their front was to be sprung, and that the second brigade of Ledlie's division, composed of a few hundred men of the 179th N. Y., the 14th New York and the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery were to lead the assault, the New York regiments laying on the Provisional's left and in a more direct line with the objective point of attack. Colonel Pleasants, of the 48th Pennsylvania, ignited the fuse leading to the explosives underneath the fort a few minutes before break of day, but owing to a flaw in the fuse the explosion did not follow, in consequence of which one of the 48th's men crawled into the mine and remedied the defect. The effects of the suspense was very trying on the nerves of the men, but at 4.45 o'clock the explosion took place, when, after a short elapse of time, the brigade was ordered to charge. Lieutenant Colonel Barney, who was in command of the Provisional Regiment, shouted : "For- ward, Second Heavy !" and in an instant every man was scaling the breastworks and pressing forward on the heels of the 14th New York, which regiment faltered as it ap- proached the "crater," seeing which, Barney again cried out, "Forward, Second Heavy!" and, pressing through the PETERSBURG. 197 New Yorkers, the Provisional Reg"imeiit, with a shout, tore away the ahatis in their front and charg^ed directly into the crater. Captain John Xorris, who commanded the Second Battalion of the rei^iment, was the first man to enter the enemy's works, and led his men over one hundred yards beyond, when, seeinj;- he was not supported by the New York regiment, he fell l)ack into the crater with his men, fig^hting the enemy all the way. The Confederates then rallied, and poured a deadly hail of shot, shell, canister and musketry into the crater, but the Provisional held its position until about ten o'clock, with the balance of the brig-ade, which included the 14th New York Heavy .Vrtillery. Some time after the Provisional Regiment fell back, the Ninth Corps colored troops were sent forward, and ad- \anced a short distance beyond the "crater," when they halted. A small body of Confederates charged them with a yell, when they broke and came tumbling back over the works, with fixed bayonets, compelling many of the Pro- visional boys to fall back with them, but many remained, fighting desperately, amid fearful carnage, until they were compelled to surrender, among whom were : Captain John Norris, David Ruckel, Clarence Wilson, David Faulkner, James Gibson, John L. Bailey, David R. Pringle, Isaac J. Miller, Joseph Albright, Samuel W. Blair, Wm. McCauley, Irving T. Hartman, David Samberger, James Luke, Geo. Davidson, Abraham Cussman, John F. Collom^ Wm. B. Wood, John D. Simpson. The 14th New York claims to have been the first troops to enter the crater. Such is not the case, for the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was not only the first Union troops to do so, but was also the last of such men to lea\e it, that, too, as prisoners of war, having valiantly defended their position till overpowered and unable to escape. That the Provisional Regiment stood the brunt of the battle is without a doubt, and General Burnside, in his "Conduct of the War" says: "One regiment, the Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, advaiiced some one hundred yards beyond the crater, but, not supported, fell back." Lieut. Col. Robinson, commanding the Brigade to I9S PETERSBURG. which the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was attached, in page 541. Serial 80, War Reports, made his report as follows : Hdqrs. Second Brig., First Div., Ninth Army Corps, Before Petersburg, \'a., August ■?, 1864. Sir: I have the honor to report that on the evening of the 29th of July, 1864, this brigade moved, under command of Col. E. G. Marshall, from the line occupied by them in rear of the First and Second Brigade headquarters to General Wilcox's front, near the headquarters Twenty-seventh Michigan, and was then formed for a charge in the following order: The first line of bat- tle consisted of the Second Provisional Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, Lieut. Col. B. G. Barney; the second line of battle consisted of Fourteenth New York Artillery, Cant. L. I. Jones, and the third of the Third Maryland Rattalion. I/ieut. Col. G. P. Robinson, and the One hundred and seventy-ninth New York Volunteers, Maj. John Barton. At 4.40 a. m. July 30 the mine under the fort in front of and to the right of the position where we formed was exploded, and the Second Brigade advanced in the order stated. By keeping a strong right oblique we arrived at the crater formed by the mine, to the right of which the orders for the assault had directed us to form. Through this crater and 150 yards in advance of it the Second Provisional Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery charged. The Four- teenth New York, diverging somewhat to the left, came upon two cannon and their magazine buried in the earth, but not destroyed, which they dug out and prepared for service. The Third Maryland and One hundred and seventy-ninth New York \'olunteers proceeded into the second short covered way on the (our) right, and occupied that position. The First Brigade entered the crater in our rear and occunied the covered way on the (ourj right, and Griffiin's brigade closely followed them. The Second Provisional Pennsylvania, having been heavilv flanked, the sharpshooters of the Third Maryland were detailed to cover their flank and protect their retreat to the works we had gained. By this time the troops in and around the crater were very much mingled together, and the staff of the Second Brigade was directed by Col. IMarshall, commanding, to form the brigade in the covered way nearest our work. This was accomplished with some difficulty, the Third Maryland holding the extreme right, and occupying the cross-traverse which enfiladed our line. From this the Spencer rifles in that regiment did great execution unon the enemy and demonstrated the advantages of an organized corps of sharpshooters. About this time the Fourth Division (negroes) came into the pit, passed through the crater, and proceeding to the right, passed through the covered way held by the First Division, one brigade of them forming on the right at right angles to our line. The First Brigade was to have formed on the left of the First Division, but before it got into position the enemy made an attack, and all the black troops crushed back into the works occupied by this brigade, throwing it into inextricable confusion, and forcing it back upon the troops in the crater. Our men then fell back and were reorganized. When this had taken place Capt. Clarke, acting assistant adjutant- general, being left in the works by (Tol. Marshall, who had returned to the front, reported at division headquarters that about 350 or 400 men of the brigade had been gathered together, but was informed that the men in the enemy's fort had been ordered to leave, and that it was not advisable to lead the brigade again into action. They were therefore retained within our line of works, and directed to cover the retreat of those in the fort by a left and right oblique fire, leaving the fort blown up by us in the axis of a sector without fire. Through the road thus opened in the enemy's fire many escaped. I regret to say that Colonel Marshall of the Fourteenth New York Artillery, commanding the brigade, after having been borne away from the enemy's lines in the rush while gallantly endeavoring to rally the negro troops, determined to return to the fort and share the fate of the commanding officer of the First Brigade. He was taken prisoner. In consequence of this, as senior officer present, I assumed command of the Second Brigade, and directed it to return to the camp of July 29, where it arrived at about 6 p. m. To the officers commanding regiments and to Captain Weaver, of the Third Maryland, who directed the operations of the sharpshooters, great credit is due for the manner in which they performed their duty. Lieutenant-Colonel Barney, commanding Second Provisional Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, was dangerously wounded, and Maj. John Barton, of the One hundred and seventy-ninth New York, was killed in the affair. The Fourteenth New York Artillery was success- ful in capturing a rebel flag — turned over to division headquarters bv Lieut. Van Brackle — and a squad of men, under Sergt. Wesley Stanley, of PETERSBURG. 199 I'onipniiv D. worked with skill aiul effect tlic Runs captured by his reRinicnt from the eneinv. He sleeps on the field of battle. The acting staff of Col.

Taking a favorable position, he single handed captured 8 prisoners in one squad, wounding 2 of them, and 3 more in another. 'I'he etTectiveness of the Spencer rifle in good hands was abundantly demonstrated during the day. I attribute the abandonment of our lodgment to the excessive massing of troops in the line captured by the First and Second Brigades of the First Division in the morning, into which all the other troops crowded and beyond which none of them advanced. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant. „„„^, GILBERT P. ROBINSON. Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding Brigade. Capt. C. J. Mills, Assistant Adjutant-General. Captain James \\\ Haig, who was assigned to special duty in the rear at the time the Provisional Second Penn- sylvania Heavy Artillery Avent into the pits to enter the fight, reported to Lient. Colonel Barney for dnty with his regiment, saying: "I hear you are going into a battle, and I want to be'with the boys." Colonel Barney assigned him to command the first battalion. Barney was seriously wonnded early in the fight, and carried from the field, see- ing which Haig took command, and when all hopes of sup- port to hold the position gained seemed in vain, he urged the men to fall back, many of whom did. while others re- mained fighting till overpowered and were captured. An eye witness to the capture of Captain Norris says : "The fire of the enemy was more than terrific. How any men escaped death in the crater is a mystery to me. Cannon on the right and left, and musketry in front, pouring in their deadly hail of iron and lead, seemed to cover every inch of ground therein. I saw Cap- tain Norris with a handful of men, desperately atteiripting to hold the fort, in hopes that other troops would come to his support, but in vain, as presently a company of Virginians, commanded by Captain John W. Beaton, pounced in upon them from front and rear, stripped the sword from Captain Norris' hand and compelled the gallant little band to surrender." The explosion, din and roar of artillery is said to have e(|ualled Gettysburg on the third day. Eight tons of pow- der had been placed under the fort and lifted it, with its artillery and garrison of 300 men, two hundred feet in the air, leaving a crater 150 feet long, 60 feet wide and 20 feet deep. Into this cauldron of death the first line charged and 200 PETERSBURG. after going 150 yards beyond, stopped. Had their division commander been there with the supporting column and led them by the right and left flanks along the rifle pits and cleared them of the enemy, and another brigade charged through the crater and over the Cemetery Hill beyond, Petersburg would have fallen. John P. Davis, of Company B, Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, says : "Some time since I read a letter in the National Tribune, from a member of the 14th N. Y. Heavy Artillery, and he wanted to claim everything in sight. As a soldier's eyes are supposed to be in front, we will be as charitable with him as possible, but my impressions of the battle are entirely dififerent from his. We were relieved from the skirmish line the day before and marched to the rear to rest, clean our guns, draw ammunition and prepare for the attack which was to be made early the next morning. That night we moved left in front, under cover, up directly in front of the works to be taken, and laid down, but as there was a continuous fire kept up all night between the two lines, we got but little rest. Just before daylight we were aroused and ordered in line. After doing so we stood for some time, and on looking about I discovered there were several lines of battle masked for the fray and Co. B was in front, close up to our line of works. Just as soon after the explo- sion as we could recover our equilibrium (for the ground seemed to heave and roll under our feet, making us all stagger about, and a good many actually fell down), we made a dash for the Crater, and as I was in the front line and front rank I had a good chance to see what was in front of us, and Capt. Norris was the first man to leap the ditch and land in the works. Of course the other lines were right on our heels, but B of the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery certainly got there first." After falling back, there was but a sorr}^-looking rem- nant of a once fine regiment to be seen — hardly a respec- table number being left to form a company. First Sergeant Theodore Deiderich's report of Com- pany B on the morning of July 31st showed but one cor- poral and six privates fit for duty, and the record of the company from May 5th to July 31, 1864, is as follows: May 5 — Non-commissioned officers and men 139 Killed 19 Wounded 65 Captured 17 Sick .26 i Detached 3 Deserted 2 132 July 31, left sound 7 PETERSBURG, 20I The Official Kccurds give the losses in the Provisicjiial Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery as: Killed, ii men; wounded, 2 officers and 55 men; captured or missing, 6 offi- cers and 112 men. Total loss, 286. A writer, in describing the mine and the battle, says : "The mateiial excavated was iS,ooo cubic feet. This had to be concealed in deep hollows and behind bushes and other screens. The enemy were suspicious of mines, for Gen. Grant had used them at Vicksburg, and they probed the ground between the lines and also started counter mines. Two of the counter mines were sunk at Elliott's Salient, but both were so iilaced that Pleasant's tininel ran be- tween them. The mine wa« ready July 23, and was charged with 8,000 pounds of powder, placed in eight clianibers of a thousand pounds to each. The main gallery was 511 feet long, beginning some distance inside the Union lines and extending into the Confederate. The chambers were located directly under the Confederate work, which was occupied by infantry and four cannon. The preparations for the explosion were in the main kept secret in the Union lines. The plan was to form a column of assault near the scene, explode the mine and open a gap in the enemy's defensive armor, and taking advantage of the con- fusion of the movement, enter and pass the breach and seize the crest of Cemetery Hill behind the exploded fort. The assault was to be made by Burnside's Ninth corps, consisting of three divisions of white troops commanded by Gens. James H. Ledlic, R. B. Potter and O. B. Wilcox, and one division of colored troops under Gen. Edward Ferrero. The colored troops were drilled specially to lead the assault, but the white troojjs were ignorant of what was expected of them, although camp rumor spread the news that a mine was to be exploded and that the corps would charge the lines in front. It was finally decided at Gen. Meade's headqu-irtcrs that the colored division should not lead the assault, and Gen. Burnside left it to a choice by lot between Gens. Ledlie, Wilcox and Potter as to which division should dash into the crater at the moment of the explosion and seize the Confederate works. The choice fell upon Ledlie's division, to which the Provisional 2nd Pa. Heavy Artil- lery was attached. The officers commanding regiments of this division were in- formed of the enterprise, which was appointed to take place before daylight July 30. Ledlie's division was moved from its position on the lines near the mine to the breastworks immediately in front, and the three brigades of Col. E- G. Mar- shall and Gens. W. F. Bartlett and S. G. Griffin were formed in the order named to open the battle. The divisions of Potter and Wilcox were formed on the right and left of Ledlie's to move out against the Confederates on each side of the breach as soon as the advance division had entered the breach. In addition the Eighteenth corps was formed on the right of the Ninth, ready to follow up the attack, and Gen. Hancock's Second corps was brought up to support the move- ment. Nearly one-half of the Army of the Potomac was in position before the mine to take advantage of any success gained by the first blow. The mine exploded at twenty minutes of 5, over an hour late. The men in the Union ranks were startled by the rumbling and upheaval of the ground arovmd them. Men who were standing up were knocked over and those lying down were sent upward at a bound. All eyes were turned toward the front, and the mass of earth and matter carried up by the ircinendous force was suspended for a second in the air. The cry rang out to go forward. That was the first announcement made to the men on whom so much depended as to what was expected. About 400 Confederates were buried by the e-xplosion. These were principally from the Eighteenth and Twenty-second South Carolina regiments and Pegram's battery. Three guns of Pegram's battery were destroyed and one was overturned. Some of Marshall's men pulled this dismounted gun out of the rubbish, and, hunting up the enemy's magazine, put it into action against a Confederate battery that was raking the crater. The pit made by the explosion was 150 feet long, 60 wide and 25 deep in the deepest part. The earth had been thrown out princi- pally toward the Union lines, and the Confederate breastworks and abattis were covered up, so that the assailants could run over them. Smoke was issuing from the pit, and live men were found half buried and struggling to get free. In a few minutes after the explosion several hundred men of the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy .Xrtillery of Ledlie's division were in and around the crater and were firing at the enemy, who were aroused and under arms on all sides. Some of the Confederates were dazed by the surprise and surrendered 202 PETERSBURG. without a struggle, but the majority rallied behind another line of breastworks and fired into the breach. It was an hour of general confusion, and the men who had dashed into the opening were at loss what to do. The enemy was in force, rfght, left and front, and even on the right and left rear, because the assailants had passed the parallel of the Confederate front. These flanks were to have been cleared by the men of Potter's and Wilcox"s divisions, leaving Ledlie's men free to move on toward Cemetery Hill, the crest of which was the point to be gained. The men of Ledlie's division made several brave sallies upon the breastworks with which they were encompassed and where the Confederates were lodge^. The enemy's line w-as double, and only the front parapet had been destroyed. Between the two lines there were log and earth huts which served as cover for sharp- shooters, and there were also breastworks running crosswise between the two lines. Marshall Bartlett and Griffin, succeeded in getting the field cleared all around the crater, and as the enemv was seen to be aroused on all sides, tne best thing under the circumstances was to hold the breach until the supporting divisions arrived there. The men of the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery who escaped were, more or less, injured in their efforts to hold the fort, or crater, yet rejoiced they were not all taken prisoners ; and the foresight and plead- ings of Captain Haig only prevented such a calamity. On the 31st of July the remnant of the regiment was taken to the rear by Captain James W. Haig, "for repairs" and recuperation, laying in camp until the 6th of August, when it again began to do duty in the pits on alternate days until the night of the 17th, whence it was removed to a position on the extreme left of the Ninth Corps, and most of the regiment was placed on the picket line, while the balance was placed to support a battery of light artillery. Clarence Wilson, in a letter referring to his army ex- periences during the Civil War, says : "I enlisted February 29, 1864, in Battery E, Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, and was transferred to Company B of the Provisional regiment at Fort Ethan Allen. I was sixteen years and three months old at time of my enlistment. I was in the fights at Wilderness, Spotts- sylvania, North Ann, Bethseda Church, Cold Harbor, 17th and iSth of June, and Mine Explosion, July 30th, 1864, at Petersburg, Va. On the 4th of May, 1864 we drew rations and ammunition and then started for the Wilderness. We were completely loaded down with every conceivable thing. We crossed the Rapidan about 12 o'clock midnight and went into camp. Started before da3'light on the 5th and made a rapid march for the Wilderness. We threw things away galore and literally carpeted the road with good goods. Grant speaks of it in his Memoirs. We marched 38 miles and swung past the old Wilderness Tavern about 4 P. M. We then spied the grand old creek, and filled our stomachs and canteens with the delicious beverage. Lieut-Colonel Barney was in command. We were ordered to un- sling knapsacks and get in line of battle, which we did, and went into the woods where we had three or four wounded. We lost 15 at Spott- sylvania, 50 at North Ann river, and on the 29th of May we got in position between a battery of brass guns and a rebel battery. A duel PETERSBURG. 203 between the two batteries took place, and our color Sergeant and a guard were wonnded. We built breast works by tearing down two small houses and linished thcni about midnight 31st. The next day, June 1st, the "rebs"' threw shells right down our line (breastworks) ; we were obliged to build traverses, or works crosswise, between each company. One shell bursted in my company, B, killing three men and wounding ten. Then in the afternoon of the 4th of June w^e met the old regiment. They just got in from Port Royal Landing. They im- mediately built a splendid line of breastworks in our rear. We lost 120 men at Cold Harbor. At daylight on the 15th of June we crossed the James river and made a fearfully long march to Petersburg, ar- riving about dark on the T6th of June. The next morning we formed line of battle and marched down the grade, in the face of rebel shells, across an open space and took refuge in the Ravine ; in getting across we lost 10 or 12 men. On the 2d of June, Companies B, C and D were on picket, when a Division of Confederates drove them back at 3 o'clock P. M. ; the enemy came swarming through the woods by thousands. We stood our ground long enough to fire two volleys, but soon saw our 200 men were no match for the overwhelming numbers of the enemy. In falling back a shell burst under mj' feet, wounding me in three places. I lost my gun, cap and haversack, and then fell down. The Confederate charging column passed over me, when I managed to crawl into the timber and escaped capture, rejoining my Company about 11 o'clock that night, and had my \vounds dressed, but refused to go to the hospital. My Captain, however, sent me to the company cooks in the rear. I got a gun again and was "in it" on the 17th of June. At the mine explosion I was taken prisoner and "served time" at Libby Prison — ten months. I weighed 90 pounds when exchanged. On the 17th of June, 1864, the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was in the Second Brigade, First Division, Ninth Army Corps, with the 14th New York Heavy Artillery and 179th New York Infantry. About five o'clock P. M. we were ordered to make a charge out of a ravine we were in. In making the charge we passed over the 14th New York, which was lying down, and the Provisional cap- tured the rebel works, including a two or three gun battery. It was common camp fire talk for days after how badly the 14th New York- ers behaved that day. This rebel battery had a beautiful range on us when we made the charge, and killed and wounded a great many of our regiment. On the 30th of July we made that fatal charge at the "crater fight." It W'as fearful, and if the 14th New York had properly supported us, and not monkeyed in the "crater," no doubt the rebs would have been driven out of Petersburg, and instead of us Provisional men going to rebel prisons, Lee would have met his Appomattox then and there. CLARENCE WILSON. Philadelphia, March 2, 1889. COMR.\DE W.\RD : To the best of my recollection the following is a correct account of the action of the Provisional Second Penn,sylvania Heavy Artillery 204 PETERSBURG. in the charge at the "crater," or mine explosion, at Petersburg, Va., July 30th, 1864: On the evening of the 2gth day of July, we received marching orders; destination no one knew outside of the commanders of the armies. At about 10 o'clock we commenced moving. Although very dark, we moved cautiously, and after two or three hours of slow marching we came to a halt, and it was not long before we knew what point we were at, and at last word passed along the line that the mine was going to be sprung — time allotted 3.30 in the morning. After watching silently the time arrived, but with no other activity than the hours that had passed, when it was learned that the fuse had gone out, but, to our surprise, just at 4.40 the fort was blown up, and orders came direct from our commander, "Charge right oblique !" and in a few seconds the gallant 2d Penna. Heavy Artillery charged into the crater. The 14th N. Y. Heavy Artillery being to the right of our command, entered the long row of entrenchments or breastworks to the extreme right of the fort, then in charge of the Provisional ; there were no other troops in advance of our command, therefore none to take the lead of us. The air was filled with dirt and sand. I do not think it a fair thing to rob the Prov. 2d Pa. of its laurels. Although but a few are left to defend its name, the casualties of our regiment is enough to convince our readers who was there. If my memory is clear, our com- mand mustered when ready for the charge, sixteen line officers, Lieut.- Colonel Barney in command, and 780 men, all told. After the lapse of some hours, the rebels became masters of the field, and I was placed in command of what was left of the Provisional regiment. When my requisition for rations was made I was denied the amount called for, which was 290 rations. Col. G. Clark, of Massachusetts, stated to me that I had not that unmber of men left, so I drew 284 rations, and in the course of a day or two there were two additional stragglers re- ported to me, making the total number left 286 men. The different com- panies were placed in command of non-commissioned officers, as all the rank and file was captured, wounded or killed. The gallant Major Holman fell just as he fairly entered the crater; he was struck twice in the side and at the elbow. Lieut.Col. Barney was severely wounded in the early part of the engagement. The colored troops acted nobly, but they failed to make the charge a success, as there was too much time lost in the early hours of the action. No one seemed to know where the trouble existed, which was to be the crowning victory of the Union arms. After the with- drawal of the troops, I remember well, an order was issued to all commanders of regiments to give a minute detail of what he knew and saw of the conflict, and I sent a foolscap sheet, written on all sides, with just what I saw of the conflict, and it is a well-known fact, if all our superiors had acted in good faith to our departed hero, Richmond would have been ours as Atlanta was to Sherman. I do not write these facts for the purpose of taking ground against the gallantry of the N. Y. 14th Artillery, but will hold to the Pro- visional 2d Heavy Artillery as the foremost in the dash to the crater, and I am justified in saying, no other regiment for the length of time in the field, has suffered more than did the ^gallant 2d Pa. Heavy PETERSBURG. 205 Artillery. Bates' History will, in its account, substantiate my sayings. Sir, I remain voiirs truly, JAMES W. HAIG, late Capt. Bat. H, Prov. 2d Pa. Heavy Arl'y. The following letters illustrate the experience of many- Federal soldiers confined in Confederate prisons during the war, and why they almost preferred death to confinement in Scnilliern prisons : C.MHP OF THE 2D Penna. Vet. Artillery, Near Petersburg, Va., Apr. 28, 1865. My Dear Sister MolHe: I have no doubt you are much grieved at not receiving a letter from me for so long a time, and inded I could not wonder at it. I will acknowledge that I have had plenty of time to write, and it is only from a dread I have of writing letters that you have been thus neglected. Well, now I am at it, shall 1 give you a little history of my capture and imprisonment and timely deliverance. I hardly know where to begin. You are aware that I was in the defenses of Washington last July; and, at the time of Early's attempt to take it, was in command of one of the most important forts — Fort DeRussy — and aided in repelling the invaders by throw- ing one-hundred-pound shells at them at a distance of three and a half miles, right into their very midst, (as I learned from prisoners that had been taken a few days before, who were with the rebs while in front of our forts, and whom I after- w'ards met in prison.) After that was over I made application to be sent to my regiment. I left Washington on Sunday the 24th of July in a boat for City Point. Arrived there Monday evening, and joined my regiment, which then lay about five or six miles from City Point and in front of the defenses of Petersburg, and not quite a mile from where the famous mine was sprung on the rebs a few days after. Our regiment was then in our front line of works, and we lay under almost constant fire of the enemy's musketry and artillery until the night of the 28th, when we were moved to the rear, supposing we were going to have a few days' rest. I must mention an instance while we were in the front line. About dusk I was sitting out in the door of our cave — this is about as near as I can describe the quarters we then occupied — when an eight-inch shell came whistling over and buried itself in the ground about eight feet from where I was sitting, and immediately exploded, covering me over with dirt, but leaving me unharmed. But I need hardly speak of this for it was nothing. About that time the enemy served us daily with rations of shell for breakfast, dinner and supper, and about nine o'clock a lunch to go to bed on. It was quite interesting to hear them come whizzing and whistling over, and exploding in the murky air, lighting the outer darkness as they burst, particularly if no one was in their death-dealing path. But, to my adventures, certainly the most harrowing and awful of my life. On the 29th, I went over to visit my old regiment, which then lay about a mile and a half to our right. On my return I learned that there was work for us to do that night and the next day. So I lay down early, with the earth for my bed and the heavens for my covering. About two o'clock on the morning of the 30th, we were formed in line and marched silently through a covered way, a dis- tance of over a mile, to the rear of our works which were facing the enemies' works, or fort, which was to be blown up at daylight. Here we lay in line ready to move on the enemy as the mine should be sprung. At length the awful moment came. A dull sound was heard and a trembling of the earth felt, and the fearful explosion took place. It was the most awful grand sight I ever witnessed; a mighty mound of earth upheaved with an awful convulsion, apparently rising almost mountain-high, the pent-up flames beneath bursting through the crevices. It seemed to stand in the air an instant and then fell, leaving a cloud of dust and smoke, burying under the immense boulders and heaps of earth many score of miserable d'eluded beings who had attempted to undermine and destroy the fair fabric of the best government under the sun. I was in command of the right wing of our regiment, and my place proper was in the rear of regiment, but at the time of tlie explosion was in front, con- versing with Lieut. Col. Barney, who commanded the regiment, and I remained in 2o6 PETERSBURG. front, ordering and leading the men on. We were tlie first line of battle, five other lines lying in rear of us — and your humble brother was the first man to cross the works on that eventful morn. As soon as we had passed over our line of works, they opened a deadly fire upon us from our left; but we met no opposi- tion in front, as all who escaped in the fort had fled in terror. We took the fort, or crater as it now was, and advanced far beyond it, and had the troops in our rear followed, we could and would have gone right into Petersburg. But as we were not supported, we had to fall back again to the crater, and were then moved into the right. Fighting soon become terrific, as the enemy soon rallied, and opened upon us from their batteries, to our right and left, with shell, grape and canister; and on our front with musketry. But the position our regiment was in we held until about lo o'clock, under the most terrible rain of lead and iron hail that ever man lived under. About this time a brigade of colored troops were thrown in our front and or- dered to charge across an open field and take a position held by the enemy, but they dilly-dallied for a while, and soon a line of rebs came out of a ravine and charged on them with a yell, and they broke and came tumbling over our breast- works, and their baynots were more dangerous to our men than the enemy's fire. This caused our line to give way, and then there was feaful slaughter. You can have but a slight idea of the terror of that awful day. I now lost sight of my Colonel and of the regiment. All had fled or been forced back by the rush of negro troops to the rear, and I had but a handful of men left and we endeavored to hold our own for a time, but the time was short, for the enemy came pouring in upon us and soon encompassed us front and rear, and we were borne off prisoners. Oh! Terror of terrors! If agony of years can be compassed in one day, it was there and then crowded into a few hours. I with others of my comrades was hurried to the enemy's rear, under a heavy fire. My sword was wrenched from me, my belt which carried a fine revolver was stripped off, and even my haversack containing a few biscuit was demanded. When we had been brought to the rear and I had time to reflect, I thought I had rather died on that terrible battlefield than be in that condition. But the Lord was on my side, and I trusted myself to Him implicitly, and He did not for- sake me. Oh! What a comfort it was in the trying hours of my exile, to feel that I had a friend in the Saviour. I felt that he was truly a brother to me, and 1 was better enabled to bear up under the affliction. That day! When shall I forget it! The terror of battle was nothing to the agony in the realization of being a prisoner. We were taken to an open field near Petersburg, where we were crowded together as closely as possible and surrounded with guards. There were near one thousand prisoners, negroes and all. There was Brig. Gen. Bartlett, several Colonels, Majors, and so on. Six officers with myself and over sixty men of our regiment were taken. About dusk that evening I wrote Emma a few lines on a blank leaf in a letter I had a day or two before received from you, and gave it to a rebel officer, re- questing him to forward it as early as possible, which he promised to do, and did, as she received it seventeen days afterwards. She had heard of my being a prisoner, and that I had a leg shot off. In fact, this was the belief by all in the regiment, as it had been positively stated by sev- eral who said they saw me. But thank a kind Providence I was not wounded. The next morning, Sunday, we were marched through Petersburg, down on to an island in the Appomattox, where we remained until Monday morning. They did not furnish us with anything to eat for two days, but I managed to get a .couple of small biscuit from a colored boy. On Monday morning we were crowded into freight and cattle cars on the South Side Railroad, and taken to Danville, Va., where we were put into an old cotton warehouse, which was filled with vermin. Remained there two days and were again crowded into the same cars, so thick we scarcely had standing room, and started for Columbia, South Carolina. We were furnished with rations of coarse corn bread and a little meat at Danville. We were two days and nights on the way from Danville to Columbia, having stopped a few hours at Charlotte, N. C. It was a terrible tedious journey, and I was quite sick with diarrnoea. Arrived at Columbia, we were confined in Richland Jail, where there was a number of officers confined who were taken before, among them a brother-in-law of General Grant, and fifteen Naval officers captured at the attack on Fort Wagner, near Charleston, in 1863. Most of them had been there twelve and fourteen months, and some eighteen months. So you see I was very fortunate in getting out in less than five months. I had but little money with me; but I got my watch, the one Mr. Jackson gave me, through safely, a pair of gold sleeve buttons, and a gold pen with a silver holder. The watch I sold for forty dollars in rebel money, on my way to Colum- bia. I might have got a hundred for it if I had wanted, but I feared it would be taken from me, but they did not search me, as they have most of the prisoners. While at Columbia I sold my sleeve buttons for twenty-five dollars, and my pen PETERSBURG. 207 and pencil for thirty dollars, rebel money, so I was provided with means for a while of purchasing some necessaries aside from the food they furnished. I had on a very good pair of boots when taken. These I traded for a poorer pair and received one hundred dollars to boot. Hut you will remember tliat one hundred dollars did not amount to much when they would give twenty-five for one dollar ni gold. Vet it was a great help, for I could get a very nice little beefsteak for breakfast for one dollar. We could get nice sweet potatoes fifteen and eighteen dollars per bushel, onions, fifty cents a piece; a loaf of good wheat bread about as large as a good sized rusk for fifty cents. All these things we were allowed to purchase, and the guards were generally very kind in going out after them for us. I paid five dollars for a very small, coarse towel and two dollars for a small piece of castile soap. They furnished us nothing to cook witii, no clothing nor blankets. I purchased quite a good woolen blanket for two dollars (in greenback), and an old gum blanket for the same. This I sewed up and had it filled with straw, which was much better than lying on the hard floor. I had but one shirt and one pair of drawers, but I had a good thick coat and pants. I would take off my drawers and shirt in the morning to wash them and dry them in the sun. The pris- oners had bought two good stoves with boilers, pans, etc., and we had a man detailed out of each mess of twenty to go down and do the cooking. We were only fur- nished with a pint of corn meal, generally ground in the cob, an ounce of rice, and a gin and a half of sorghum molasses per day. No meat. We usually sold most of the molasses in bulk and bought beans to make soup. Our meal was made into bread and cakes. Had two meals a day, breakfast at eight, and dinner about three. I had half a canteen for a plate, a wooden fork (which I now have at home) and a little tin spoon for which I paid two dollars. But I can not dwell on many little incidents which would be of interest, for want of time. A ladv in the city sent in to jail to know if there were any officers there from Philadelphia, as she had a daughter there. I sent my name out, but did not get to see her. She sent me in a number of good books to read, from time to time; and when the weather became cool, sent me in a splendid white woolen blanket, which I returned to her, when I left. .She sent them by the surgeon of the jail, and he, I must say, was kind to me. In fact, I received no unkind personal treat- ment while there from any of them. The building was filled with vermin, and we had to take great pains to keep them otT. We were particularly annoyed by bed bugs at night. My first letter from home was long and anxiously looked for, and did not reach me for nearly three months. It was from Emma, and bore joyful news to me, as she had succeeded in getting an order issued by the Secretary of War for my special exchange. But the rebel authorities at that time refused to make any more' special exchanges, as they were trying to secure a general exchange. Emma had three successive calls made by the War Department for me, and at last it suc- ceeded, at the time they were exchanging the ten thousand sick and wounded. I at the same time received a letter from Sister Carrie. In about two weeks there- after, the latter part of October, I received several letters Emma had written when I was first taken. Even those old letters were read with tears of joy. But I re- ceived but few of the letters she had sent. She and Col. Jackson sent me money which I never received. Emma's letter received first, buoyed my spirits up until the end, for I still honed that my exchange would come. But the tedium of those long, lonely days and" sleepless nights cannot be told to be understood. At last the day of my deliverance came. On the evening of December 8th the Sergeant came up stairs and called my name and that of Captain Sherman, and we were wanted down stairs. Did not my heart beat high with hope! Yet I almost feared to think. Arrived down stairs a confederate officer had a parole ready for us to sign, together with several officers who quartered down iVairs. and told us we were to be sent to Charleston and delivered the next day. Oh, inexpressible happy hour! I cannot but weep for joy at looking back to it. That night of course I slept but little, but my sleeplessness was now caused by far different feelings from former nights. , , , .J -It. The next day we started to the depot about ten o clock, but waited until about four for the sick to be brought from the camp out of the city about two miles, where about twelve hundred officers were confined. It was a sad and gloomy day for the poor fellows left behind. Among the number was my First Lieutenant Kellow. But they all got through safely and were exchanged in March, and I met many of them at .\nnapolis. We arrived in Charleston the next morning and were put on the flag-of-truce boat and taken down the bay to meet the United States boat. Our hearts beat high to see the loved old flag, and many of us wept tears of sincere joy and gratitude at the privilege. We lay in the bay on board our boat two days and then started to Annapolis in the steamer United States. We had everything comfortable and plenty to eat. Had a very pleasant trip up. We passed in easy view of the ruins of old Fort Sumpter. 2o8 PETERSBURG. I was generally in pretty good Iiealth during my imprisonment, but had one very severe sickness. We reached Annapolis at about ii o'clock Wednesday night, December 14th, and remained on the boat until next morning. I immediately tele- graphed Emma that I had arrived, and expected to be home next day. So she, poor girl, packed up my clothes and started to Annapolis that afternoon to meet me. But I got my leave of absense and started to Washington that afternoon, so that we met and passed each other unconsciously on the way. She hunted high and low for me at Annapolis, but learned that I had gone, and she could not get back until eight o'clock the next morning. Of course it was a great disappoint- ment for me to find her gone on my arrival, and she was no less disappointed. I met her at the depot next morning. The children had gone to bed, and I lay down without waking them, leaving the gas burning dimly. Pretty soon Willie woke, and as I was lying with my back to him he commenced crying a little. I turned over and asked him if he did not know papa, and his face brightened in an instant and his little arms flew up to embrace me. With this Calie woke, and then there was a joyous time. Callie had to tell me of his mamma coming home in a great hurry saying "John's at Annapolis, John's at Annapolis, I'm going to meet him," etc., etc., and how she broke tl'a clothes line down in the kitchen, and let all the clothes on the floor, stove, etc. Now, Mollie, you may consider yourself favored, for I have never written half this to anyone else. I am getting along nicely here. Am now Captain of my old battery. I gave father my address. This will have to answer for all this time. With much love, Your affectionate brother, JOHN NORRIS. Los Angeles, Cal., May 12, 1904. Comrade Ward : I was taken prisoner of war at Gen. Burnside's famous Mine Ex- plosion battle, in front of Petersburg, Va., July 30, 1864. Burnside blew up tliis Confederate fort by running a gallery about 200 3'ards to and under the Confederate fort, and after reaching it made lateral galleries to the right and left, in the shape of an arc, and by magazines, tamped in 8000 lbs. of powder. Immediately after the explosion (a horrible spectacle) my regiment advanced, with other regiments, into the Con- federate works and out beyond the Crater on the plane. After eight hours of the most desperate fighting on record, the Confederates re- captured their lost works and about 1000 Union prisoners. I went in this battle with 40 rounds of ammunition, and after they were ex- hausted I took from wounded and dead soldiers their cartridges, and probably fired about ifio rounds at the Confederates during the eight hours. The Union and Confederate soldiers were in such close proxi- mity that in raising up to fire over the works we would fire point blank into the rebels' faces. Sometimes hand-to-hand fighting occurred. At 2 o'clock P. M. there were only about 800 Union troops left in and around the Crater. The Confederate number kept increasing until about 9,000 or 10,000 were nearly surrounding us. It was almost sure death to a Union soldier to try to run the gauntlet 150 yards to our lines. Men that had attempted it were piled up eight deep just out- side the works we were into, dead. Gen. W. F. Bartlett (with his cork leg shot off). Col. Marshall, Capt. Norris, and other officers were in the rebel works with us. These works were full of dead and wounded men. Blood was spattered everywhere, with some pools of it on the ground, where the life blood of a Union soldier had ebbed away. During the eight hours, at two different times, the comrade next to me, as he raised up to fire his gun, received a grape shot in his fore- head from a rebel gun, and in consequence had his head blown off, the 209 CLARENCE WILSON, Compauies R-E. Kroiii a tintype taken at I'eterslmrir, May 5, 18W. 2IO PETERSBURG. brain and blood filling my ear and spattering my clothes. At last, at 2 P. M., our officers said it was a forlorn hope to try to hold these works against so large a force of the enemy— that our number was fast being depleted— and that we would have to surrender. A hand- kerchief was waved over the works on a bayonet, a signal that we had surrendered. We threw down our guns and the Confederates came swarming over the works among us. A few colored troops who were with us were stabbed and killed on the spot by Confederate soldiers, at the same instant the Confederates shouting, "These d niggers ain't fit to live !" A Confederate guard then took us across the open field (about three quarters of a mile) into Petersburg. As we hurried along over the field we were implored piteously by wounded men on the field to help them up. We were kept over night heavily guarded. The next morning, Sunday, it seemed to me everything alive came out to see those horrible Yankees who played such a mean trick upon them (as they put it) by blowing up their fort. The women especially were quite vehement in their manner towards us. There were quite a number of colored troops taken prisoner also during the battle. Finally all prisoners were formed in column by fours, consisting of alternate files of colored troops (nig- gers, the rebels called them) and commissioned officers at the head, and as leader of the column Gen. Bartlett, with his empty pants-leg, dang- ling, (his cork leg having been shot off in Saturday's battle) was placed on an old spavined horse, and the wonderful Sabbath day's journey commenced. The column, I must confess, presented a fan- tastic and variegated appearance. This was all done to humiliate the Yankee white soldier and satisfy the clamoring Southern people for revenge for blowing up their fort. There must have been about looo white and black troops in this motley procession. We were marched through the principle streets of Petersburg. The people were in their holiday attire and jeered us continually. It was a big show for the in- habitants of this besieged town. I noticed this exhibition humiliated some of our "stuck-up", "dandy" officers who were captured with me. Monday morning, greatly to our relief, we were put in freight cars on the Danville & Richmond R. R. and taken to Danville. At this place most of the prisoners were taken oflf. After remaining at the Danville prison for a short time, the colored troops and some white troops were taken to Richmond, on account of the crowded condition of the Danville prisons. The negro troops, however, were not confined in rebel prisons, but were treated as some of their run-away slaves and were set to work in various parts of the South. Up to the war period the South was ever ready to boast of her chivalry, but when a Yankee soldier fell into the hands of the Con- federate Government it was quite the reverse. From the very moment we were captured the Confederates com- menced their pilfering acts, snatching a good hat from off our heads, and in return gave us a miserable slouchy, and perchance, "buggy" thing. Next, one of their number would envy some other piece of clothing we possessed and order us to remove it for his benefit. By the time we landed in Richmond we resembled Puck's illustrations of disreputable tramps — rag-tag and bob-shag — misfit in appearance. Then again, when we appeared at the office of Dick Turner, Libby Prison's keeper, we were searched and robbed (under the pretense that they would be returned to us in the future) of everything our clothing con- PETERSBURG. 211 taincd — things that would have been a comfort to a lonely captive while sitting despondently on the hard, dirty prison floor, for months and months, with nothing to divert our minds from our miserable sur- roundings. Bell Isle and Libby Prison, both located at Richmond, were two of the most notorious Confederate prison pens in the South. In Feb- ruary, 1864, Col. Rose and Major Hamilton dug a tunnel from the basement of Libby Prison building, across 20th St. and on behind a high board fence, and one night 115 officers, confined there, escaped. Up to that time Libby Prison had been kept by the Confederate Government, almost exclusively for Lhiion officers captured. After this break for liberty the officers were removed to other quarters and Libby Pri.son was taken and kept for private soldiers. All the provileges the officers got were taken away. A rigid rule was enforced that no privates could go within five feet of a window. No more cooking or fires allowed down on the first floor. Our food was all brought to us cooked (so called). The coarse stuff issued to us, alluded to as corn bread, con- tained no salt, and perhaps weighed about one-half pound ground cobs, hulls of corn were in evidence. We drew the chunk of bread in the morning and unless eaten in a few hours it would sour from lack of salt. Our stomachs were badly deranged, under this regime, and diar- rhoea was prevalent. In managing Hotel Libby, Dick Turner knew how to economize all right, to make it pay. He could come about as near starving "a board- er." and just keep him alive, as the next person. Before I enlisted as a soldier, and while at home. I often noticed my father mixing swill for his oigs (scraps from the table, etc.). While sitting on the floor of Libby Prison in 1864, hungry almost to desperation, my mind would revert to my home in Pennsylvania, and I would think of this swill for the pigs my father mixed ; and, don't you know, dear reader, my mouth would actually water for that (I really thought then) delicious swill. Drawing beautiful pictures, in our mind's-eye, of home and loved ones, made us despondent and discouraged of ever reaching there again.^ Occasionally we received a small piece of rusty side bacon that contained maggots, unfit for their own soldiers or any human being, for that matter. Cow-pea soup was served about three times per week, cooked with a piece of this spoiled bacon. The maggots, of course, would float to the surface.. It might be the cook concluded they were quite nutritious, and answered for one of the ingredients. To read and learn of this fact to-day seems sickening, but in Libby Prison the prisoners were not above skimming off the little fellows and diving into the soup with considerable relish and enthusiasm. Even to a sick man it was the best thing we received, and that is not saying very much. During the last year of the war the restrictions at Libby were un- necessarily rigid. One rule was, we were not allowed within five feet of a window. Confederate guards were ordered to shoot a Union prisoner if seen within five feet of a window. On one occasion I know of a sick prisoner, half-dazed by starvation, longing to get a si.ght of Mother Earth, to relieve the killing monotony of prison life, approached within three feet. The guard on the Casey St. sidewalk saw his shadow on the window, and then by edging off the sidewalk and his regular beat, into the street, he could see the Union prisoner, and then up and shot' him. It was reported to Dick Turner, but he made light of the affair and acted as though he considered it commendable on the part 212 PETERSBURG. of the guard. This taint upon the boasted chivalry of the Southern Confederacy is firmly fixed. The atrocities committed upon prisoners have been recited throughout the whole world. History's impartial records concerning this crime will never be reversed. I am aware that there are apologists to-day who are ready to assert that the sufferings of the Union prisoners are exaggerated. My own account of the treatment I received while in the hands of Dick Turner, et al., has been verified by statements of my comrades who spent months in various hell-holes called prison pens, and they invaria- bly tally so closely that all this kind of evidence has met with an en- dorsement with a large majority of the people in the United States and Europe. These atrocities are on record, but they are not accepted as measures used in civilized warfare, especially after considering the fact that we on both sides were Americans. In the early Spring of 1864 the United States Government stopped entirely the exchange of prisoners. That fact alone kept us confined there until the end of the war. Others were kept at Andersonville, Sal- isbury, Libby, etc., over twelve months. I presume one cause of the action of our government in stopping the exchange was, that the Con- federate prisoners had been returned to them in good physical condi- tion, and immediately they entered the Confederate army again, while the Union prisoners, coming from the hands of the Confederate gov- ernment, after being confined a few months, returned to our govern- ment a physical wreck. It might have been a wise war measure, but pretty tough upon the poor Union prisoners. The United States Sanitary Commission appointed a Committee in the winter of 1863-4, composed of the following prominent men of the times : Doctors Valentine Mott and Edward Dalefield, and Governor Morris Wikins, of New York; Dr. Wallan, Hon. John R. Clark Hare, and Rev. Treadwell Walden, of Philadelphia, Pa. This Sanitary Com- mittee visited Parole camps, where prisoners were kept, at Annapolis, Md., and elsewhere, took large numbers of depositions in writing and otherwise collected information which justified the following conclu- sions : "The testimony given by these prisoners is as clear as the noon- day sun that these barbarities were deliberately practiced upon our men for the double purpose of crippling and reducing our armed force, and of striking terror to the Northern population to prevent enlist- ments. There does not remain ground for doubt that the rebel gov- ernment designedly resorted to the slow process of torture and death by starvation and to freezing and starving united, operating minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month, at Richmond, Andersonville, and other prisons, until the men becam^e living skeletons and idiots, no longer able to recognize his wife, his children or his friends, no longer of any value either to himself or to his government ; and this for the purpose of weakening our military arms and deterring our people from proceeding with the war. It is the same story everywhere ; prisoners of war treated worse than convicts, shut up either in suffocating buildings or in out-door enclosures, with- out even the shelter provided the beasts of the field; unsupported with sufficient food, supplied with food and water injurious and poisonous, compelled to live on floors often covered with human filth, or on ground saturated with it; compelled to breathe an air compressed with an in- tolerable stench, and in hourly danger of being shot by unrestrained or brutal guards ; despondent even to madness, idiocy and suicide ; sick PETERSBURG. 213 of disease greatly contagious in character, caused by decayed food, by filth, by vermin, by malaria and by cold, to die in wretchedness and despair, not only, among strangers but among enemies too resent- ful either to have pity or show mercy. These are positive facts. Thousands of helpless men have been and are now being disabled and destroyed by a process as certain as poison, and as cruel as the torture of burning at a stake. This spectacle is daily beheld and allowed by the rebel government. The conclusion is unavoidable, therefore, that these privations and sufferings ]ia\e been designedly inflicted by the military and other authority of the rebel government, and not by causes they could not control." Senator Howard, in May, 1864, took this Sanitary Commission's Report and read it and spoke on it in the Senate and endeavored to induce the Senate to take action upon the order of the government, stopping the exchange of prisoners. Stopping the exchange was the means of keeping myself ten months in prison, and many others over one year. Those that survived the strain and are living to-day, have no constitutions left to stand any- thing. If I was obliged to earn a living for myself and wife I could not do it and have not been able to do so for years. Libby prison in 1864 grew over-crowded. The commonest com- forts were denied. Scurvy was prevalent on account of the utter ab- sence of vegetables, and no salt in Durford. Even one sweet potato per day (and they grew in abundance in the South), would have pre- vented this malady. % Personal cleanliness was out of the question. No adequate effort made by the authorities to preserve proper sanitary conditions, and the floors of Libby became covered with vermin and filth. When I en- tered Libby Prison I had on only three pieces of clothing — pants, shirt and a thin blouse. I came out at the end of the war with what was left — ragged, dirty and lousy beyond description. My clothes were never washed nor did I get a bath. My blouse and shirt were worn through to the skin, which turned dark and became callo.sed from lying on the hard floor. We would lie down at night dovetailed together like sardines in a box, on the bare floor, without anything to cover us. I came out weighing about 90 pounds. Of all the winters in the State of Virginia, the winter of 1864-65 was considered as the coldest. The windows were all broken out and iron bars added. Richmond is not very far Soutli and cold rains, sleet and snow were quite frequent that bitter cold winter. The food was so bad our stomachs refused to assimilate it, and diarrhcea attacking us, our bodies were not nourished to any degree of warmth. During the time I was at Libby, the sanitary conditions were bad enough. There being no water closets, horse-troughs were there on each floor for our use. Those with diarrhcta were obliged to stand in line a long while in agony, waiting their turn to get at the troughs. The stench from the congested condition of these troughs was some- thing terrible. Waterspouts were provided at each trough and were supposed to turn on a stream to relieve the troughs, but. notwithstand- ing this, a negro would have to come in to clean them occasionally. During the last few months of my experience in Libby rations grew more and more scant. Prisoners would lie down to sleep and dream of home comforts, and awake only to feel that horrible gnawing and crav- ing for food magnified. 214 PETERSBURG. Their weakened minds were the pray of wild fancies. Homesick- ness deranged the mind, and caused many a poor fellow to pine away and die. Often from eight to ten dead bodies would be found in the morning. The dead wagon would arrive at the prison, a long wooden shoot put up at the window from the wagon, and the dead bodies lifted from the floor and sent down this shoot into the wagon with a dead thud that was- sickening, and carried away, and thrown into a trench without even a covering of any sort and then the dirt thrown over them. The names of the dead were never asked for, but simply thrown in trenches and covered with dirt, unhonored and unsung. It is not a disposition in writing this article to show animosity towards the South of to-day. I am sure all ex-prisoners living have buried the hatchet and extended the olive branch of peace to the South of to-day and all Confederate soldiers. It would be best for all concerned if this whole matter regarding Union prisoners could be al- lowed to rest and not be referred to again in print. But it would not be just to the heroic thousands who fought bravely in battle and were captured and suffered everything to keep quiet, and never relate our experience. Through the month of March, 1865, there was every indication of a total collapse of the Southern Confederacy. Guards were more communicative, and to our inquiries gave us some hope of being released soon. Four days after Gen. Lee's surrender a Pennsylvania regiment came into Richmond and opened the doors of Libby Prison, an^ we were once more free men. Remnants of hats went up into the air with feeble cheers from the husky throats of the weak Union prisoners. Language can hardly describe the pathetic scenes that took place as we marched out of prison into the open air and land of the free, surrounded by 'friends, who had come to liberate us. Prisoners wept with joy, throwing their arms around the neck of a comrade who had become dear to him through the long prison confinement. We were soon on our way to the James River a few miles away, singing "Home, Sweet Home" on our way. As we approached the river and beheld Old Glory, floating out in wavy grandeur from a staff on board a steamer awaiting to transport us north, we again, with feeble effort, threw our tattered hats (many had none to throw) up into the air. Some of our weak and emaciated comrades actually fainted with animation over the delight of once more beholding the dear old flag, as the gentle breeze caught it and straightened it out. After getting aboard the steamer we were given hot coffee, new sweet bread and fresh cooked beef. We acted very greedy, smacking our lips and begging for more. But we were treated like invalids and reminded of the fact that it would not be good for us to eat any more for the present. After a beautiful ride down the James River, stopping at Fortress Monroe and given more good things to eat, we finally arrived at Camp Parole, Annapolis. Md. We were soon floundering in a warm bath at the bath-house and given a new suit of Uncle Sam's blue. After a day or two here we were sent home with a pocket full of crisp new greenbacks.

Fourteen months hefore I ran away from home and enlisted at Pliiladclphia, a mere boy, then 16 years of age, going to school, and when 1 left home did not hid lier good-bye for fear of detention. When I was captured at the Petersburg battle I w-as reported as killed, and my mother never expected to see me again. I returned to my regiment laying at Petersburg. During the Summer of 1865 I was unable to do guard duty, but could not get my discharge. CLARENCE WILSON, Co. B., 2d Pa. Prov. H. A. The Confederate batteries again began to shell the whole line early on the morning of August i8th, which w^as responded to in equally as aggressive a manner by those of ■ the Union army, and the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery Regiment was by no means made an ex- ception to its centre of fire, being located directly in front of a six-gun battery of the enemy. The Fifth Corps moved to the left of the Ninth Corps in the morning, and its right flank rested on the left of the Provisional regiment. One day's rations of coffee, sugar and beef w^as served the Provisional Regiment. One day's rations of pork and hard tack and two loaves of bread were served the men soon after davlie:ht on the 19th, and the men were in the best of spirits. In the afternoon of that day the regiment moved to the left to assist in supporting the Fifth Corps in an attack at the Weldon railroad, in doing which a skirmish with the enemy was had, in which several of the regiment were killed and wounded. On August 20th most of the regiment was placed on the picket line along a sw^ampy piece of ground, where it was requisite to corduroy in order to pass in and out to the main line, in doing which three or four of the men were picked off by sharpshooters. On the following morning the enemy assaulted the picket line in force, compelling the pickets to fall back; but they returned shortly after, and in the early afternoon the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillerv pick- ets were relieved by other troops, and they returned to the breastworks, rejoining the regiment, therein, where they remained until the 24th, when tlie wliole regiment was 2l6 PETERSBURG. relieved and returned to its camp in the rear. Bread, hard- tack, sugar, coffee and one mackerel each were served the men. The Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, from August i8th to 21, 1864, lost 2 men killed, 10 wound- ed, 50 captured or missing. The following, in reference to the "Weldon Railroad Fight," indicates the opinion of Gen. White (who then commanded the Division to which the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery was attached) of the manner in which the men, under very adverse circumstances, went into that battle : Hd.

"The Gen'l comd'g desires to express to the troops of this Division his great satisfaction with their conduct on the 19th inst. The spirit and alacrity with which they moved forward to the attack, after a fatiguing march, and the steadiness and gallantry which they displayed under fire, are worthy of the highest commendation.

The 25th of August was spent in drilling in the morn- ing, and in the afternoon tents were struck and arms stacked, preparatory to moving, but did not move until two o'clock next morning, when the regiment was marched a short distance to the left, returning shortly after breakfast, however, without anything special transpiring, and pitched tents again where last encamped. On the 27th of August the brigade moved to the left and entered the breastworks, the Provisional Second Penn- sylvania Heavy Artillery Regiment relieving some colored troops, but the lines here were so far apart no sharpshoot- ing or cannonading was indulged in, as was the case at all other points along the line. The regiment's tents were pitched in the immediate rear of the works. Inspection of arms was had on the following day, and rations were served the men, including pickled beets and PETKRS15URG. 21; ready-made coffee, the first of the former received by the men of the reg-iment since lea\-inj:^ Brandy Station in May. The reg-iment worked at the l)reast\vorks, strengthen- ing them, all day of August 29th and 30th, and in the eve- ning of the latter day orders were received to report to the mother regiment — the Second Pennsvlvania Heavy .Vrtil- lerv, then laying at Bermuda Hundred Fronts, between the Appomatox and James rivers, near Point of Rocks. On the morning of August 31st the regiment was inspected and mustered for pay, for the last time as the "Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery," and in the afternoctn it started on a march to rejoin the old regiment, halting and remaining over night at the old grounds in front of the "crater" at Petersburg, where so many of the regiment were killed, wounded and captured on the 30th of July. Starting early next morning, the regiment reported at headquarters of the iStli Army Corps at Point of Rocks that evening, and went into camp near the old regiment at the Crow's Nest Lookout, Bermuda Fronts, about nine o'clock P. M., remaining there until the afternoon of Sep- tember 3d, when, after inspection of arms and knapsacks, the regiment was drawn up in line again, and the inspect- ing officer announced that he had been informed the regi- ment did not wish to rejoin the old regiment; that it rested with the men to do so or not, and those who were in favor of continuing their present organization to step two paces to the front. William H. Berger was the only man in line that did so, whereupon the inspecting ofiicer, turning to Major ]\Iarslan(l. who was in command of the Provisional Regiment, said: "It looks otherwise." The ]\Iajor then said: "Maybe the men did not understand you; try them again." The proposition was explained, and the men desir- ing to continue in the Provisional regiment were again re- quested to step two paces to the front, wdien, to the inspect- ing officer's surprise. Quartermaster Sergeant Berger step- ped the two paces, and thus demonstrate(l that he was the onlv person in the regiment that preferred not to rejoin the old regiment. 2l8 BERMUDA HUNDRED. The regiment was then dismissed and returned to its camp, where it remained inactive until the afternoon of September 5th, when it was reunited with the original Sec- ond Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, the men being distrib- uted among the several batteries in accordance with Special Order No. 282 of the War Department, dated Washington, August 26, 1864. Isaac B. Smith, corporal in Company B, Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, is author of the following : "Brief History of the Provisional Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. Of the 147 members of Company C that left Alexandria with the regiment, 67 were killed, wounded or taken prisoners. Considering the life of the Provisional, only four months, the loss seems to be frightful. It makes me feel proud of its record, but sad to think of the great- hearted boys who were cut ofif so ruthlessly, and how often they were missed by their mess-mates. Many years have passed since then and fhe elastic steps of the beardless boys who started out with bright anticipations of a fight when we swung into line at Brandy Station, to march to the front, have grown slow and faltering and prematurely gray hairs and beards reminds us of some of the severe service we did while marching, digging, fording streams and fighting to help chase Gen. Lee into Richmond. After we went to Brandy Station, we marched about two miles and had the pleasure of camping out in "dog tents." Next morning, I think it was May 5, we drew five days' rations, and then it was a comical sight at the bulging haversacks, which, with forty rounds of cartridge and a plethoric knapsack, we were equipped for the cam- paign, or at least I thought so. When the "fall in" was sounded there was as fine a looking line of soldiers as could be found anywhere in the army; all nice, clean, well-brushed clothes and every man with a "bureau" on his back. After marching back to Brandy Station, while we were stopping there the boys thought they did not need quite so much fancy furniture to keep house down South, so they began to unpack the "bureau" and tore up the contents, which generally con- sisted of a government blanket, overcoat, dress coat, two or three "dog hair" shirts, the same kind of short hose, the feet of which were the longest part about them ; writing material, boots, shoes, playing cards "and other articles too numerous to mention/' as the sale bills say. They piled all these things together and applied fire to them, so they would not be fit to grace the person of some wandering "Johnny Reb" who might appear on the scene after our departure. Then came the sound of the bugle, and off we started to hunt Johnnies. After marching until about 11 o'clock that night we came to the Rapidan River. Here the regiment "side-tracked" and the boys were tired, having marched about twenty miles, and being unused to it they felt the effects keenly. About 2 o'clock the ne.xt morning we smith's i'.rikf history. 219 crossed the river and moved a mile or so and halted until after day- light. Then \vc started for M'me Run or the Wilderness, and after about an hour we could hear the sharp crash of musketry as we went on. Finally, after marching into a field, we halted, when the boys ran to a fence and got on top of it to see if they could get a glimpse of the battle. While we w^ere looking an orderly rode up with orders of some kind, the bugle sang out "Fall in !" and off we started at a double quick. When the colors went down, after about 3 miles march, Fdo not think there were 150 men present with them. The march had been too severe for all to keep up with the command. After resting a w^hile the stragglers began to come in. We were then ordered to the front, unslung knapsacks and had roll call. At this time the musketry was terrific. A comrade at my right said he would be killed that evening. He appeared to be very much frightened and I tried to pacify him as best I could, although I think I was scared worse than he was. but did not want to show it. Things did indeed seem scary about that time. We were soon ordered forward and I bid farewell to my knapsack and never saw it afterwards. After going a short dis- tance we stopped and our first attempt was made at building rifle pits. It mak^s me laugh yet to think of them. The boys suddenly thought that a protection would be desirable just at that particular time, so they began to break off the pine boughs and piled them like a winrow of hay. Of course such a protection would not have been half as effec- tive as hay. Finally the regiment was straightened up, and digging and building rifle pits began in earnest. This was done quickly, as every soldier in the regiment seemed to have a very decided interest in the completion of the works. While occupying these pits, I saw three separate bayonet charges, made by troops on our right, over the same ground each time. Here w'e had our first experience with shells. While we were lounging about and listening to the roar of artillery and the rattle of musketry, as it rose and fell, according to tlie heat of the fray, we heard the boom of a field gun and the terrify- ing shriek of a shell as it flew over us. Then followed one of the finest acrobatic displays ever witnessed, possibly not the most grace- ful, but the promptness and agility of execution excelled that of the noted prairie dogs of the plains. All appeared to have urgent busi- ness behind the breastworks. We were lying directly in front of a light battery of brass howitzers, and they replied to the Johnnies promptlv. Every shot that was fired seemed to raise me from the earth. Scared? Well, all hands seemed to be particularly nervous and pale about that time. In a short time, however, the firing calmed down, but about 9 o'clock P. I\I. there opened up on the left of our lines a deafening crash of musketry, which swept along the line until it reached the right of our regiment, where the regimental pioneers lay, and there it died out. One big German discharged his musket and charged my comrade, Geo. Keenan, with shooting. The Dutchman denied having fired even w^ith his own gun smoking at the muzzle. Some time during the night whispered orders came to us to put our tin cups and canteens into our haversacks and not to speak above a whisper on any account. When w^e started on the march the same orders were repeated, but we had not gone half a mile until the boys were singing and shouting loud enough to awaken the dead. Here we saw the first signaling with rockets and the boys thought it a strange time for a pyrotechnical display or Fourth of July fireworks, but ^hcri' 220 smith's brief HISTORY. were those in that great army who could interpret the meaning of those rockets, and it doubtless told of us moving to the rescue of some sorely tried and tired troops somewhere along the lines, as we were where we heard the crash of musketry rolling and reverberating over and through the dense pine forests. We kept on the march until we came to the place where I have always thought was the Old Wilder- ness Tavern. Here we bivouaced for the rest of the night. The nfext morning we started forward, passed over the old battleground of Chancellorsville and through the town. We passed on for some dis- tance, probably three or four miles, and came to a place which will always remain indelibly fixed in the minds of every member of the regiment, "Camp Starvation," or as it was generally known, Tabernacle Cross Roads, about twelve miles from Spottsylvania Court House. About this time the five days rations drawn at Brandy Station were a thing of the past, and then commenced a battle for existence. Two comrades of Co. C raided a supply train and secured five or six boxes of hard tack. These were brought to camp and issued as regular ra- tions — the foragers drawing the same as the others. Our brigade being irregular was called the Provisional Brigade (I guess the commander of the 9tli Corps thought that name implied that we had an abundance of provisions.) The officers of the brigade seemed not to know where to get supplies, and when Gen. Burnsides or any of his staff appeared upon the scene, up would go that melo- dious cry of "Hard tack!" "Hard tack!" We were told some one would be punished if it was not stopped, but it was not done. Finally Gen. Burnsides issued orders to give us all the fresh beef we wanted. Then came some of the bluest, toughest beef I ever saw. While we lay here our regiment was sent up to the front to escort the body of General Sedgwick to the rear. He was killed on the 8th of May. From the Cross Roads we took up the line of march, passing through Bowling Green, and a short distance beyond the town, a dozen sheep were found in the pasture. The animals were considered too dangerous to be allowed to run at large, and they were prudently killed by our boys. We marched on to a place called Thornburg, where we began to build a line of entrenchments. Next morning we were ordered to march on, and it soon began to rain, making the roads very slippery, but we pressed forward with flankers and skirmishers thrown out. We were pressing the enemy close at this time, and came upon a limber carriage and ammunition chest on fire. It was only partly burned and we judged we were right on their heels. That night we bivouaced in a dense woods, and I am sure the Colonel could not have told the right frank from the left flank. Although we were in such an inconceivable tangle, not knowing front from rear we had a good rest. From this time on it was march and dig — march all day and dig all night. We forded the North Anna river one afternoon and built a line of breastworks that night. The next day Company C was placed on picket, and about one or two o'clock at night whispered orders came to move as quietly as possible, and we recrossed the river. The rear guard, commanded by Lieut. Sam. Clark, of C, crossed just at day break. The rebel skirmishers were only about one hundred yards behind them and began to shoot across the river at us as we lay among the bluffs. Being exposed to tb(> lire the Colonel ordered us to SMITH S 15R1KF HISTORY. 221 move out of danger. While on the march Elisha Mitchell was shot through the hand, which was the only casualty here. From this point me made a forced march of 30 or 35 miles, and crossed the Pamumky river at Hanovertown. This marcli was through plantations and forests, and we got the name of "Burnsides' Fiat- Footed Cavalry," and the boys earned the title. While we were mov- ing towards Richmond we struck tlie rebels at Bethscda Church, and here Colonel Wilhclm was shot in the foot. A majority thought he shot himself w'ith a small calibre revolver. Capt. Sam Davis was killed here the ist or 2d of June. Company C was sent out on picket one afternoon and we had quite a skirmish with the enemy. Our orders were to support the 48th P. V. on their left, and as we marched in the officers of that regiment told our Lieut., Tom Sharpe, that we came up as steady as any men they ever saw under fire. The rebels were pouring the mus- ketry into us briskly and the air was blue with smoke. The evening of the 12th of June we were ordered to march, with the strictest kind of an injunction to keep quiet. We marched that night and every day following until the 15th, when we crossed the James River at Fort Powhatan and laid there until the morning of the i6th. We started on the march at 2 or 3 o'clock and with the long swing- ing step we had acquired with constant practice, we made good time on the road to Petersburg. At about 6 o'clock we came in sight of the church spires of the city, and halted in a little basin or semicircle of low ground, with the whole of the 9th Corps about us. The Johnnies began at once throwing shells among us in a very spiteful manner, but being hungry and tired, the boys prepared their supper, which they ate with a keen relish. On the morning of the 17th we moved forward over the ground where some troops had captured a Lunette, but at a fearful cost, judg- ing from the dead and wounded. I counted five dead and wounded lying on a space not more than thirty feet square, and it was not an encouraging sight for any one to witness who was expecting to keep right on until the enemy were encountered. After arriving at the top of a sharp ridge. Col. Marshall ordered the brigade to form on the colors. This was just at sunrise, and while we were forming we could see under a fog that hung over a ravine in our front to a large plantation on the other side where the rebel artillery were getting into position as rapidly as their horses could move. About this time Co. Dan. Leasure, of the looth P. V., told Col. Marshall that his men would fare better if sent forward to the ravine, as the rebs meant to shell us as soon as their artillery was in position. We moved forward and had barely gotten under cover of the brow of the hill w'hen the place we had left was fairly swept with spherical case shot and shrapncll. We laid in the ravine until about 4 o'clock, wdicn we moved down a short distance and began massing our division for a charge. When the bugle sounded the boys sprang forward, never looking to the right or left, but pressing on and passing over two lines of troops lying down. Who they were or what they were doing I do not know. The bullets were flying fast by this time and comrades falling on every side. Here the casualties were appalling. Our Company, C, lost Lieuts. Sharpe and Clark, Sergeants O'Leary, Katze, Wareing, Black and a host of others. The company lost in all thirty-seven killed, wounded 2 22 smith's brief HISTORY, or missing. One of our Sergeants had a hand-to-hand encounter with a rebel major and captured him. We were beginning to think ourselves veterans by that time, and talked over our exploits many times the next day, but a spirit of sadness would come over us when we thought of the brave boys that went down in that evening of carnage. From this time on we had the pleasure of exchanging compliments daily with Gen. Johnson's long-haired gentry until the 30tli of July, when we took part in or led that disastrous move to the crater. We mustered about 800 men, including 16 officers, on the 29th of July, and on the 31st the quartermaster General would allow rations for but 280 men, showing a loss of over 500. Out of the 16 officers, Capt. Haig was the only one that was not wounded, killed or captured. On the third day after the battle a truce was granted to bury the dead and remove the wounded. It was stated that three soldiers were still hving, after lying in the hot sun for the three days. The regiment then moved to Fort Davis on the Jerusalem plank road and remamed there until the igth of August, when we went to the Weldon railroad and took part in that fight, driving the Johnnies back and tearing up the railroad. The rebs tried to retake the rail- road and attacked the 2d Corps in three lines deep. We lay almost directly in front of the artillery of the 9th Corps, which fired over us, at times, and every gun dealt out death and destruction to the ill-fated Confederates, while the musketry piled up the dead and wounded until the field in our front was literally carpeted with bodies. We were mustered for pay on the 31st of August and immediately started on the march to join the old regiment at Bermuda Front, and after consolidation the boys were scattered around among the different Batteries. ISAAC B. SMITH. Urbana, 111., Dec. iSth, 1903. 223 ROLL OF HONOR. i HE WRITER of these Histories, feeling that a "Roll of Honor," comprising the names, ranks, companies, etc., of the killed, wounded, captured and died, would add to the work a more satisfactory understand- ing if the same designated to which regiment such men belonged at the time of such occurrences, prompted him to make strenuous efforts to pro- cure a roster of the Provisional regiment, which would have enabled him to separate and give such a roll of men belonging to the two commands respeClively. But. owing to the facl that no living survivor of either reigiment has such roster, and the War Department at Washington will not furnish it, it will be impossible to do as was originally intended. To assist in discriminating to which command such officers and men belonged however, it will be well to state that all casualties up to April, 1S64, were of men belonging to the original command. After the formation of the Provisional regiment, April 28th, 1864, no casualties, excepting natural deaths from sickness and a few from sunstroke, occurred in the original command until June 16th, when it was before Petersburg. Both com- mands were hotly engaged on June 17 — the Provisional with Burnside's 9th Army Corps and the other .regiment with "Baldy" Smith's i8th Army Corps— so, without a roster of either command, it is impossible to sepa- rate their respective casualties. The casualties on June iSth were of men belonging to the old regiment. The casualties at the "crater" and the Weldon railroad were wholly in the Provisional regiment. The casual- ties on other dates were about equally divided until September 5th, 1864, when the Provisional regiment was agaim merged with the original com- mand, and particpated in all its subsequent services. 224 ROLL OF HONOR. All the enlistruents were made for the original regiment, but there were many men belonging to the Provisional regiment that never done service in the old regiment, as, after enlistment, they were sent diredlly to the Provisional regiment, where they were killed, wounded, captured or died, and were thus incapacitated for further service. The following communications will demonstrate why the writer's efforts to procure the desired roster proved unsuccessful : Philadelphia, Nov. 7, 1903. Gen. F. C. Ainsworth : Washington, D. C. Dear General : At the instance of the "Survivors' Association of the Second Pennsylvania Veteran Heavy Artillery," I am writing up the history of that regiment and its offspring — "Provisional Second Penn- sylvania Heavy Artitlery " — and desire a roster of the Provisional regi- ment. That regiment left Fort Ethan Allen in April, 1864, under com- mand of Col. Thomas Wilhelm, joined Burnside's 9th A. Corps, and I would like to have a list of officers and men composing the regiment. Gen. Marcus J. Wright writes me to apply to you for above, and hoping you will have the same sent to me, or will advise me the probable cost in procuring it, I remain Very Resp'y Yours, GEO. W.

It is understood that a publication containing the names of the offi- cers and men of the regiment referred to has been issued by the State of Pennsylvania. This publication, although containing some errors and deficiencies, is believed to be fairly accurate and complete so far as the membership of the regiment in question is concerned. It is proper to add that, pursuant to a recently-enadled law, the De- partment has already entered upon the work of compiling for publication ROLL OK HONOR 225 a complete roster of the officers and enlisted men of the I'nion and Con- federate armies. When this roster shall have been completed and pub- lished, all the information it contains will be readily accessible to all who are interested in it. By authority of the Secretary of War. F. C.

The order above referred to, among other specifications, says : " But requests for information relative to individual officers or enlisted men, or for the compilation of statistical or other data relative to particular or- ganizations, to be used for historical or memorial purposes or for publica- tion, cannot be entertained." On November 12th, 1903, the writer made application diredl to the Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of War, who referred the application to the Chief of Records, who, in turn, returned it to the writer with the following endorsement: "Respectfully returned to Mr. G. W.

My Dear General : In returning herewith the letter, received by your reference, in which Mr. George W. Ward, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, asks your aid in an effort to obtain for him the "Roster" of the Provisional Second Pennsvlvania Heavy Artillery, I beg leave to advise you that the Secre- tary of War has been compelled to adopt a strict rule that prohibits com- pliance with all such requests as that made by your correspondent. The present Secretary has invariably declined to make any exception to this rule in favor of anyone, although he has been frequently appealed to to do so by senators, representatives in Congress and other distinguished persons. Herewith is inclosed a copy of War Department orders of Feb- ruary 23, 1S97, which sets forth the rule in question. It is proper to remark that your correspondent has already been ad- vised bv this office that, pursuant to a recently enacled law, the War Departtiient is now engaged in the work of compiling a complete roster of the officers and enlisted men of the Union and Confederate Armies, and that when this roster shall have been completed and published all the information it contains will be readily accessible to all who are in- terested in it.

My dear Sir : Replying to yours of December 19th, I have the honor to state that there are no Muster-out Rolls of the Provisional vSecond Pennsylva- nia Heavy Artillery on file in this office, except probably in a few indi- vidual cases where the men were returned to the original command.

This Roster is taken from " Bates' History of Pennsylvania Volunteers," and with over 300 correclions, additions, etc., secured from diaries and memories of reliable surviving members of the regiments, is considered to be as near complete and correct as it can be made, in view of the facft that the Muster-out Rolls are ver}- inaccurate as to individual records of the men in particular. . The date immediately following the names indicate time of muster into service, and all were for "three years or during the war," except a few who enlisted for one year oul^- and are marked with au asterisk (*).
