PA Civil War SoldiersCivil War History of Delaware County PAExtracted from the book HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA by Henry Graham Ashmead: Phildelphia; L.H. Everts & Co.; 1884 The war of sections, which had overhung the country for over forty years, burst upon the nation on Saturday, April 18, 1861, when the American flag was hauled down at Fort Sumter, under the assaults of Southern military men who, on the plains of Mexico, had proudly marched to victory under its folds. Then the pent-up anger of the North broke all restraint, and a great people rose resistless in their might. It was amazing with what rapidity the news sped from farmhouse to farm-house that Fort Sumter would be evacuated by Maj. Anderson on the morrow. In Chester, Media, Darby, Rockdale, Kellyville, in all the towns, villages, and cross-road hamlets in Delaware County, the people, abandoning their usual avocations, gathered in excited groups to discuss the engrossing intelligence, knowing not in what direction to give expression to their enthusiasm, save in demonstrations of patriotism. Over the court-house at Media, at the town hall in Chester, and the public buildings throughout the county, over mills, workshops, stores, and private dwellings, before nightfall the stars and stripes floated to the winds, or where that was not done, the angry muttering of the populace soon compelled compliance with the popular will, and tri-colored badges were displayed on the breasts of almost every man, woman, and child, for the people were stirred as no living man then could recall the like in all our national history. Sunday followed, and the anxiety to learn the latest news from the seat of war was intense, and in the absence of intelligence the suspense became oppressive. On Monday morning, April 15, 1861, direction was given to the public excitement when President Lincoln issued his proclamation calling for seventy-five thousand troops to be enlisted for a period of three months, unless sooner discharged. In Media, on that Monday morning, the people crowded the court-house, called thither by time ringing of the bell, when patriotic speeches were delivered, and finally it was determined to form a rifle-corps immediately. After arrangements were made to obtain recruits, the meeting adjourned until Wednesday evening following, the 17th. At Chester, on that same Monday evening, the old town hall, with its memories of the stirring days of '76, once more rang with patriotic calls to the people to arm in defense of liberty and human rights. Nobly throughout the county was the response made, and the sound of the fife and drum was heard on all sides. On Wednesday night, at Media, the adjourned meeting reassembled in the court-house. Edward Darlington was called to the chair, and Charles D. Manley, Charles R. Williamson, James R. Cummins, John R. Roland, Robert Playford, and J. Crosby Fairlamb acted as vice-presidents, and O.F. Bullard and Thomas V. Cooper as secretaries. Speeches were made by John M. Broomall, Joseph Addison Thomson, and Hugh Jones Brooke. Among the thousand baseless rumors flashing along the wires that day was one which stated that Jefferson Davis, with ten thousand troops, was marching directly on Washington, determined on its immediate capture. The intelligence, false as it was, served to rouse the patriotic indignation of the people, so that name followed name rapidly on the roll of those willing to be led at once against the enemy, and the ranks of the "Delaware County Union Rifles" were filled, while many men were anxious to be recruited even after the list had been closed. So rapidly was the company organization effected that on Friday morning, April 19th, the men were assembled in front of the court-house, where, after a prayer by Rev. Mr. Gracey, they marched to the car, and were forwarded to Philadelphia. There, at the Western Market-House, a collation was served, and the company addressed by Charles D. Manley and H. Jones Brooke. The same afternoon they reached Harrisburg, where they encamped in the capitol grounds, and the next day, April 20th, were mustered into the service for three months. Company F, 4th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers4th Regimentmustered into service April 20, 1861, as follows: Captain, George Dunn; first lieutenant, T.V.

Hartranft, was the following day, April 21st, ordered to Philadelphia, where, under command of Col. Dare, of the Twenty-third Regiment, acting brigadier, it was dispatched to Perryville, Md. There it encamped that night, and the next day was ordered to embark on steamers for Annapolis, and thence moved to Washington, the riots in Baltimore having interrupted direct communication with the national capital. The regiment had been so hastily sent forward that it was not then uniformed, although the soldiers were armed with muskets and carried ammunition in their pockets. The Fourth remained at Annapolis until the 8th of May, when it was forwarded to Washington and quartered in the Assembly Buildings. Sickness prevailing among the men, it was encamped about two miles from the city in the direction of Bladensburg. On June 24th it was ordered to Alexandria, where on Sunday, June 30th, its pickets for the first time were engaged with a small party of the enemy. The Fourth, in the organization of the army of McDowell, formed part of the First Brigade, Third Division. Its hour of enlistment expired on Sunday, July 31, 1861, the day of Bull Run, when McDowell desired the regiment to remain until after the battle had been fought. There being a difference of opinion among the men, it was finally marched to Washington, and thence by rail to Harrisburg, where it was mustered out of service. McDowell, in his report after his crushing defeat, attempted to relieve himself from a part of the blame of that day's disaster by a slurring censure of the Fourth Pennsylvania, but the records of the War Department show that in the great majority of instances the men who composed that organization at Bull Run on subsequently bloody battle-fields manifested their valor and patriotism. The Delaware County Union Rifles, however, had been discharged from the service the day before the battle, and any reflection Gen. McDowell indulged in respecting the Fourth Regiment as a whole has no application to the Media company. Union Blues - 9th RegimentNinth Regiment In Chester, at the conclusion of the meeting of citizens held on Monday evening, April 15, 1861, steps were immediately taken for the enrollment of a company. On Wednesday more than a sufficient number had been enlisted, and at the meeting of the company it was decided that the organization should be known as the "Union Blues." Au election of officers was held, and Henry B. Edwards was chosen captain. Rev. Mr. Talbot, then rector of St. Paul's parish, presented a sword he had worn when chaplain in the United States navy, to Capt. Edwards. The Union Blues at once began drilling and equipping to respond at a moment's notice when ordered.On Saturday morning, April 20, 1861, the Union Blues were directed to proceed at once to Harrisburg, and at six o'clock that evening the company mustered in front of the Washington House, in Chester, where they were addressed by Frederick J. Hinkson, who stated that the citizens of the borough pledged themselves that the wives and families of the soldiers depending on them for support should be protected and maintained during the absence of the men at the front. Addresses were also made by Rev. Mr. Talbot, rector of St. Paul's, and Mr. Sproull, of the Presbyterian Church. Rev. Father Haviland, of St. Michael's parish, personally contributed and solicited subscriptions to a fund to he used in equipping the men who had volunteered, and for the maintenance of the families of those who had gone in the service. As evening came the streets were crowded, and no one old enough to remember those early days of the war can forget the departure of the first troops who responded to the call of President Lincoln, or the ovation then extended throughout the North to the "boys in blue," before constant repetition in the years of battle which followed had imparted a sameness to the movements of soldiers. The crowd of people which gathered at the railway station, including cultured and refined women, was the largest the ancient borough had ever known until that time in all its history. And when the engine with the special train rolled from the station, the impression that war had indeed come upon the nation caused the populace to disperse in silence to their homes. The "Union Blues" reached Camp Curtin, at Harrisburg, the following day, and on Monday, April 22d, were mustered into the Ninth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, for a period of three months. On May 4th the regiment was moved to West Chester, where it arrived at nine o'clock at night during a severe storm of sleet and snow, and as no arrangement had been made for their reception, they were quartered in the rooms attached to the old depot. The next day Col. Longnecker selected a location for cantonment, which was named Camp Wayne in honor of "Mad Anthony," of the Revolution. On May 26, 1861, the Ninth Regiment was ordered to Wilmington, Del., to prevent disloyal citizens in that State from forming military organizations for the Confederate service, and went into camp at Hare's Corner, between Wilmington and New Castle. The regiment, on June 6th, was ordered to Chambersburg to join Gen. Patterson's command, and was attached to the First Brigade, First Division, under Col. Miles. On Sunday, June 16th, Miles' Brigade crossed the Potomac, the Ninth having the right of the column, the troops wading the stream, the water reaching breast-high. Subsequently they were ordered to recross the river and take a position to cover the ford. On July 1st the brigade again passed over in time direction of Martinsburg, and on the 8th a forward movement of the whole army was ordered by Gen. Patterson in the direction of Wincthester and Bunker Hill, but a council of war being held, it was decided to countermand the order. On the 17th of July, Longnecker's brigade marched towards Charlestown, where it encamped, remaining here until the 21st, when it marched to Harper's Ferry. On the 22d the Ninth Regiment was marched to Hagerstown, and thence forwarded to Harrisburg, when it was mustered out of service, the period of the enlistment having expired. The following is the roll of Company I, Ninth Regiment, three months' Pennsylvania Volunteers: Captain, Henry B. Edwards; first lieutenant, James G. Stacey; second lieutenant, William Blakeley; sergeants, William B. Stevenson, John Beck, James Williams, William Eves; corporals, Isaac Weaver, William B. Thatcher, Charles Storey, Jesse Cummings; musicians, Ezra Dransfield, Alexander King. Privates. - John Booth, Joseph Barker, Joseph Brewster, Lewis Benner, John C.

The two companies having gone to the front the citizens of the county did not relax their efforts, but in all directions home guards were formed and drilled in the manual of arms, such organizations being effected at Chester, Media, Rockdale, Darby, Linwood, Kellyville, Wildeville, Glen Mills, Village Green, Upland, and other localities. So rapidly did the organizations form that on July 4th, at Chester, a parade was made by the Wayne Guards, Capt. W.C. Gray; Home Guards, Capt. H.B. Taylor; Company A, Capt. George E. Darlington; Upland Guards, Capt. George K. Crozer, while on the same day, at the county-seat, the Village Green Guards, Capt. Barton; Glen Mills Guards, Capt. Willcox; Manchester Rifles, Capt. Ballentine; Upper Darby Home Guards, Capt. Buckley, joined with the Media Home Guards in a parade. On Tuesday afternoon, April 23, 1861, an immense meeting of the people of the county was held in the court-house at Media. H. Jones Brooke was made president, and stirring addresses were delivered. Contributions amounting to two thousand five hundred dollars were made that day, and the county was divided into seven districts for the purpose of soliciting funds to equip troops and support the families of volunteers. Chester, Ridley, and Tinicum constituted the first district; the second comprised Media, Nether and Upper Providence, and all of Middletown east of Edgmont road; the third Marcus Hook, Linwood, Lower and Upper Chester, Bethel, and all of Aston south of Concord road; the fourth Concord, Birmingham, and Thornbury; the fifth Aston, east of Concord road, Middletown, west of Edgmont road, and Edgmont; the sixth Springfield, Darby, and Upper Darby; and the seventh Haverford, Marple, Newtown, and Radnor. The meeting, as taxpayers, called on the county commissioners at once to appropriate five thousand dollars, and twenty thousand dollars thereafter, to be used for the support of the families of those men who should join the army. The activity did not cease here, for the subordinate committees in the several districts in two days after their appointment collected two thousand seven hundred dollars for the relief fund, and in addition Samuel M. Felton, president of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Company, sent a cheek for one thousand dollars to John P. Crozer, as the contribution of the company. Mr. Felton also notified the clerks in the employment of the road that those who should go to the front would receive their salaries while absent, and on their return from the war would be taken back into the railroad company's service. The women were as active as the men, and busy fingers found constant employment during all the four succeeding years of war in fabricating articles of clothing to minister to the comfort and healthfulness of the soldiers in time field. After the defeat at Bull Run had convinced the North that the revolting States were terribly in earnest, that they were brave men, ably commanded, and that a war which would dwarf all former wars in the world's history had begun, the popular excitement of the first three months of open hostilities settled into dogged determination that, cost what it might, the national authority should be maintained in every part of the land. During the latter part of July, and in August, 1861, recruiting for new military organizations was brisk in the county. Hereafter the local history of the time, so far as it relates to the several companies and regiments, will be presented in a connected account of such organizations. 26th Regiment (Three-Years' Service).26th RegimentAlthough the history of this regiment antedates the actual outbreak of hostilities, and, as will be recalled, under Col. Small, it was attacked in Baltimore on April 19, 1861, when on its way to Washington to be equipped and armed, it is nowise distinctly connected with the annals of Delaware County until nearly a month subsequent to that event. Under the call of the United States, May 3, 1861, for troops to serve a period of three years, William L. Grubb began recruiting a company in Chester and the surrounding neighborhood. This company was mustered in on May 31, 1861, as Company K, Twenty-sixth Regiment, and on Monday evening, June 16th, it went through Chester. The people in the ancient borough, knowing that the company was ordered to Washington, gathered at the station and along the railroad. The boys in blue, as they caught sight of their friends and acquaintances, waved their hats from the car windows and platforms and cheered, which was taken up and answered by the people who had been watching their coming so anxiously. The main body of the regiment was then at Washington guarding the quartermaster-general's stores, the arsenal, and the flying bridge at Georgetown. The regiment was subsequently assigned to Gen. Hooker's division, and early in April, 1862, was transported to the Peninsula, where it took part in the siege of Yorktown, and on May 5th, at the battle of Williamsburg in front of Fort Magruder, it drove the enemy out of the rifle-pits into the works, which position it held for eight hours until fresh troops came to its support, and the fort was taken. It was engaged at Seven Pines, and in "the change of base," on June 19th, was in action at Savage Station. On the 20th it was engaged in the battle of White Oak Swamp from noon to night, and just before dusk of that long summer day it made a brilliant bayonet charge, breaking the enemy's line, compelling them to retire, and the following day it took part in the battle of Malvern Hill. On August 20th it was with Heintzelman's corps, dispatched to the support of Gen. Pope. In that campaign it was engaged at Bristoe Station on the 26th, and the next day opened communication for the army with its base of supplies. On the 29th it marched through Centreville to Bull Run, going at once into the fight, where it suffered severely. Capt. Meekins, of Company K, was killed in this battle. The next day the Twenty-sixth Regiment was held as support to three different batteries, which compelled it to march rapidly from point to point as occasion required. At Burnside's defeat at Fredericksburg it was in the front line of battle, and was engaged with but slight intermission for thirty hours. At Chancellorsville, on May 2, 1863, the regiment made a reconnoissance up the road in front of Hooker's headquarters to feel the enemy, and on the 3d it was held as a support to batteries after it had fallen back to the intrenchments, a movement made necessary after the Seventy-second New York had broken, leaving the flank of the Twenty-sixth uncovered and exposed to a heavy fire, by which it lost nearly a hundred men. In the Gettysburg campaign it was with Gen. Sickles, and reached the field on the evening of the 1st of July, 1863. The next day the regiment was on the extreme right of the division, and suffered severely. Late in the day it sustained a charge of a Florida brigade, which it checked, and in turn charged the enemy, driving the latter in confusion, capturing many prisoners. The loss of the Twenty-sixth Regiment in this battle was appalling. It had gone into the fight with three hundred and sixty-four men, and its loss was two hundred and sixteen killed and wounded, this number including three color-bearers who were killed. In Grant's campaign, on May 5, 1864, at the battle of the Wilderness, it was on the extreme left of the army and held its position, although repeatedly assailed. On the 12th, at Spottsylvania Court-House, it took part in Hancock's grand charge with the Second Corps, and in the engagement the Twenty-sixth captured two Napoleon guns, which it turned with effect on the enemy. It was actively engaged at the crossing of the North Anna River, and on the 27th of May crossed the Pamunkey River at Nelson's Ford, where its term of service having expired it was ordered to Philadelphia, where, on June 18, 1864, in front of Independence Hall, it was mustered out. COMPANY C. Thomas V. Cooper, private, served until after battle of Gettysburg; detached by order of War Department and placed in charge of government printing-office at Camp Distribution, where he remained until close of war.

Dyer began recruiting men at Chester for a company of infantry then termed the "Keystone Guards." So rapidly had troops responded to the call of the President that the quota of Pennsylvania was filled, and for a time it seemed as though no men save those who had already been accepted would be mustered into service. In this State Governor Curtin, with a better conception of the teaching of the times than any other man in official station in the north (excepting perhaps Simon Cameron), knowing that additional troops would shortly be required, determined to form several camps for military instruction in the State, and to collect there troops, who should be disciplined and equipped ready for the emergency which he saw must come. This purpose Governor Curtin carried into effect, and the soldiers thus collected were subsequently known and will ever be recalled in the annals of the commonwealth in which they played no inconsiderable part, as "the Pennsylvania Reserves." The men who were recruited for the Keystone Guards, as stated, were quartered in the town hall, in Chester, for, a week or ten days, maintained by the voluntary subscription of several citizens of the borough, and finally, the name being changed to "Slifer Phalanx," in honor of Hon. Eli Slifer, then secretary of the commonwealth, the organization was ordered to report at the Girard House, Philadelphia, where it was mustered in May 31, 1861. While there a handsome flag was presented to the company by the ladies of Chester. Hon. Edward Darlington made the presentation address. On June 4th the Slifer Phalanx left for Camp Wayne, at West Chester, where it became Company C, Thirtieth Regiment First Pennsylvania Reserves, for a term of three years' service. COMPANY A.

When the first intelligence reached Delaware County that Fort Sumter had been occupied by the Confederates, and the President had issued the call for troops, William Cooper Talley began recruiting at Crozerville and Rockdale an infantry company, then called the "Rockdale Rifle Guards." Subsequently the title was changed to the "Archy Dick Volunteers," so named in honor of Archibald T. Dick, a deceased eminent member of the bar of Delaware County. The quota of the State being full, Capt. Talley encountered the like difficulty in having the company accepted, as related respecting the "Slifer Phalanx." The action of Governor Curtin in forming the Pennsylvania Reserves, as heretofore stated, furnished the opportunity to this company to be accepted, and at Camp Wayne, on May 30, 1861, the organization was mustered into the Thirtieth Regiment, First Reserves, as Company F, for three years' service.

Although the Delaware County Companies C and F were mustered into the service of the State in the latter part of May, the organization of the regiment was not fully effected until June 9, 1861, when, Biddle Roberts was chosen colonel; and in making his appointments he selected Lieut, Joseph R.T. Coates, of Company C, for quartermaster. On July 4th Governor Curtin reviewed the First and Seventh Reserves at West Chester. On the 21st the First Regiment was ordered to Washington, and at daylight the next day marched for Baltimore, reaching that place at nine o'clock the same evening. As Col. Roberts approached the city he was met by the police authorities, who advised him that, as the populace was much excited, it would be well not to attempt to pass through the streets. The colonel, however, ordered ammunition to be distributed to his men, and he marched through Baltimore without molestation. On July 26, at Camp Carroll, the regiment was mustered into the United States service, and immediately marched to Annapolis, where it was quartered in the naval school; remaining there until August 30th, it was moved to Tenallytown, Md., and assigned to the First Brigade under Gen. Reynolds, of McCall's division. In all the movements preceding the Peninsular advance it took part, and at Mechanicsville in that campaign it was on the extreme right of the Army of the Potomac, and under Fitz John Porter was in the battle of the 26th of June, 1862. There the First Regiment held the centre of the brigade, and in a struggle of three hours repulsed the enemy, sleeping on the ground it had held so valiantly. The next morning it was ordered to fall back, and the brigade retired in the direction of Gaines' Mills. On the 27th, the First and Eighth Reserves moved to the rear for ammunition. Fitz John Porter seeing this movement galloped to Col. Roberts and exclaimed, "Colonel, can't you form a line with the two regiments and stop those fleeing troops?" The answer was affirmative, if ammunition was furnished his men, and that being promised, the two regiments formed in line with a coolness and precision which received the warm approval of the general. On the 30th, at Newmarket, the First Reserves for five hours main tamed its position, repulsing three distinct heavy charges of the enemy, and its gallantry on that occasion was specially mentioned in McCall's official report. In Pope's campaign, on August 29th and the day following, it was constantly under fire, marching most of the time, and during the forty-eight hours was totally without food. On Sunday, the 14th of September, 1862, at South Mountain, the regiment charged the gorge and summit of the eminence held by a part of Hill's corps. The column rushed onward with a yell, driving the enemy before it, and gained the summit, where the First Reserve slept on their arms during the night, ready to resume the struggle in the morning, but the Confederates withdrew under cover of the darkness. The next morning Hooker personally came to the ground and thanked the regiment for its valor. In that terrific charge, Second lieutenant John H. Taylor, of Company C, son of Joseph Taylor, recently deceased, fell leading his command. On the 16th of September, the eve of Antietam, the First was skirmishing with the enemy during the night, and at daylight of the 17th it went in action and continued until nine o'clock, when it was relieved. Capt. Talley commanded the regiment in the greater part of that battle, Col. Roberts having been thrown in command of the First Brigade, and after Hooker was wounded, March 1, 1863, Capt. Talley was promoted to be colonel of the regiment. At the battle of Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862, the First Reserves charged across an open plain under a heavy enfilading artillery fire, and drove the enemy two hundred yards beyond his intrenchments, when finding that he was flanked on the right, the enemy strongly reinforced in front, and no supporting troops coming up in the rear, Col. Talley "was compelled to retire after having opened the way to victory." During Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania the regiments, on the 29th of June, 1863, marched with the main army for Gettysburg, and when the State line was crossed Col. Talley halted his men and announced that they were then on their own soil, where they must battle for their homes and families, and know no rest until Pennsylvania had been freed from every enemy in martial array. On July 2d, arriving at Gettysburg, the regiment went immediately to the front, and on the right of Little Round Top charged the enemy with great gallantry, driving them back upon their reserve. On the 3d, in the brilliant charges made by the First Brigade, the First Regiment, commanded by Col. Talley, occupied the centre. The regiment took part in the battle of Bristoe Station and in the numerous movements of the Army of the Potomac during the latter part of 1863. In Grant's campaign, on the 5th of May, 1864, it was engaged in the battle of the Wilderness, and on May 8th, at the battle of Spottsylvania. Col. Talley was then in command of the brigade, and while charging for the third time through a thicket of pine, he was captured by soldiers of Ewell's corps, but the following day he, with several hundred prisoners, was rescued by Sheridan's cavalry. The last day of service for the Pennsylvania Reserves was May 31, 1864, and on that day the First Regiment (Thirtieth of the line) took a conspicuous part in the battle of Bethesda Church. The next day, June 1, 1864, the Reserves were ordered home, and on June 13th were mustered out of service at Philadelphia. On March 13, 1865, Col. Talley received the rank of brigadier-general of volunteers, by brevet, for distinguished services in the field. 58th Regiment (Three-Years' Service).58th RegimentThe county of Delaware, which furnished nearly fifty men to this regiment, in the official publications of the State receives no credit therefor, a statement that is equally true so far as it relates to other organizations, the general statement merely being made, "recruited in Philadelphia and vicinity." The fact is that nearly one-half of Company A was recruited in this county, while in Companies, B,C, and K, men from this neighborhood were mustered into service among the first that enlisted in the ranks of the regiment. On March 8, 1862, the Fifty-eighth was ordered to Fortress Monroe, arriving at its destination the next day, Sunday, the 9th, while the action between the ironclad "Merrimac" and "Monitor" was in progress. On May 10th it led the advance under Gen. Wool, and after the surrender of the city of Norfolk on that day, the flag of the Fifty-eighth was unfurled over the custom-house, where it remained until the regiment was ordered to Beaufort, N.C. While at Norfolk, First lieutenant Thomas I. Leiper, of Company A, who, while the regiment was in Philadelphia before being ordered to the front, had been appointed adjutant, was assigned to the staff of Gen. Thomas L. Kane, under whom he was in service at the battles of Antietam and Gettysburg. On Sept. 9, 1863, Leiper was promoted captain of Company A, and he thereupon returned to his command. On June 27, 1862, the Fifty eighth was ordered to garrison Washington, N.C., at the head of navigation of the Pamlico River, and while there it was daily drilled in heavy artillery practice. On the 16th of December, Capt. Theodore Blakeley, of Company B, a gallant soldier from Chester, with a detachment of one hundred men, made a foray into the country fifteen miles southward, and captured a Confederate cavalry encampment, a captain, and sixty men, with all their horses and equipments, so absolutely surprising the enemy that they yielded without a gun being fired. For this Capt. Blakeley was complimented in an order from department headquarters. On May 1, 1864, the regiment joined the Army of the James, under Gen. Butler, in the operations against Richmond, and on the 9th the Fifty-eighth was in action near the Appomattox River, and the following day destroyed for a considerable distance the Petersburg and Richmond Railroad. The regiment was subsequently transferred to the army under Grant, and at Cold Harbor, on the 3d of June, it charged the enemy's works, capturing the rifle-pits, and, as related by a New York Herald correspondent, - "Here, however, the men found themselves close prisoners, for it was utterly impossible for a head or an arm to make its appearance without being riddled by bullets. For two long hours the regiment held its position until it was reinforced." On the 15th, it having returned to the Army of the James, it was in the attack on the enemy's lines in front of Petersburg, when the outer works were carried. On June 24th the re-enlisted soldiers were ordered to Philadelphia on the regular furlough granted to all veterans re-entering the service, and because of the good conduct of the regiment twenty days beyond the usual time was granted to them. Capt. Leiper remained at the front in command of the men who had not re-enlisted, and the recruits forwarded to the Fifty-eighth. The furlough having expired, the regiment joined the army on the north of the James, and on September 28th the Fifty-eighth and One Hundred and Eighth Pennsylvania made the desperate assault on Fort Harrison in face of sixteen guns of heavy calibre, in which the colors of the Fifty-eighth were three times shot away, and out of the two hundred and twenty-eight men of that regiment who had made the charge, one hundred and twenty-eight were killed and wounded. Among the former was the brave Capt. Theodore Blakeley, of Chester. The fort, with its cannon, small-arms, battle-flags, and garrison, was captured in this intrepid charge. The same day the two regiments were ordered to assault the Star Fort, a mile to the left of Fort Harrison, and although the brave fellows scaled the works and spiked the guns, weakened by their previous feat and unsupported, they were obliged to fall back under the heavy fire played upon them by the enemy's gunboats. In the final campaign which resulted in the capture of Lee's army it bore an honored part, and after the enemy's force' in the field was dispersed, it was assigned to duty in the lower counties of Virginia, and was mustered out at City Point, Va., Jan. 24, 1866.

Laws recruited a company of cavalry in Delaware County, opening a station in Chester for that purpose. The men were enlisted for three years, and as the regiment was the first of that arm of the service to organize for a lengthened period of duty, so it is believed that Capt. Law's men were the first in the State willing to enroll for three years. Pennsylvania's quota being filled at the time, Col. William H. Young obtained permission to raise a regiment in any part of the country, which should be known as Young's Light Kentucky Cavalry. Law's company, for some reason, was not accepted as a whole in this' regiment, the greater number of the men being assigned to Company I, under Capt. William K. Grant, and the remainder distributed among the other companies. Subsequently the regiment, which was entirely recruited in Pennsylvania, excepting Company D (from Washington City), was credited to this State, and then Governor Curtin requested Col. Young's resignation. On Oct. 31, 1861, he appointed William W. Averill, an officer of the Fifth United States Cavalry, in Young's stead. At first the new commander was very unpopular with the men because of the strict discipline to which he subjected the regiment, it under Young having been very loose, but its subsequent honorable story was largely the outgrowth of the stringent measures then adopted. During the winter and spring of 1862 it was constantly in the advance, and was the first Union force to enter the works at Manassas and ascertain that the enemy had abandoned the fortification there. In the Peninsular campaign it was constantly in service, such as is demanded from "the eyes of an army," and in the change of base, during that week of battles, the men were almost constantly in the saddle, covering the flanks of the columns. At Antietam it rendered efficient service, and when the army, in October, crossed into Virginia it covered the right flank, which brought it constantly in collision with Stuart's and Hampton's command, and finally driving the latter into their hiding-places in the Blue Ridge. On March 16th it encountered Fitz-Hugh Lee and Stuart's cavalry at Kelley's Ford, and there taught the enemy that the Northern cavalry, which they heretofore had ridiculed, was able to cope with the best horsemen of the Confederate army and defeat them. Previous to the battle of Chancellorsville the Sixtieth Regiment rode in the noted raid which traversed the country in Lee's rear, and for a time severed his railroad communication with Richmond. On the 19th of June, 1863, it took part in Buford's and Gregg's attack on Stuart, between Culpeper Court-House and Beverly Ford, in which the latter, after a five-hours' fight, was so signally defeated that for a time it compelled a de1ay in the proposed invasion of Pennsylvania. And two weeks later it was in the engagement at Aldie, which resulted in cutting off from Lee the whole of Stuart's command, so that the former was deprived of the greater part of his cavalry until after the battle of Gettysburg. On the 2d of July, at that battle, the Sixtieth Regiment sustained the charge of Hampton's division in the latter's attempt to gain the rear of the Union army, and, although it was driven back by weight of numbers, when Custer came to its assistance it rallied and joined in the charge, in which the enemy was defeated with heavy loss. It took part in the action at Old Antietam Forge, on the 10th of July, as well as that at Shepherdstown, on the 16th of the same month. It led the brave charge near Culpeper Court-House, on September 13th, and was complimented in a general order for valor. On October 14th it was engaged at Bristoe Station, and on the 15th, when the cavalry covered the army wagon-train of seventy miles, the Sixtieth was the rear-guard and sustained the attack of Gordon's division and repulsed it, holding its ground for over two hours before it was supported. Once again, for this brave deed, Gen. Buford issued an order commendatory of the skill and valor it displayed. On the 26th, at New Hope Church, dismounting, it, with the First Massachusetts, sustained the charge of the Stonewall Brigade, maintaining its position for two hours, until Sykes' regulars had time to advance to its support. During the Wilderness campaign with Grant it was constantly in service, and when Grant and Meade crossed the James on pontoon bridges, the Sixtieth acted as the escort. Its story in the engagements preceding the surrender of Lee is part of the history of those days of battle, and when, on the 3d of April, Grant and Meade entered Petersburg, it formed part of the escort to the generals. When Lee surrendered, the Sixtieth Regiment was in the advance between the lines of battle of the two armies. It was subsequently mustered out of service at Richmond on Aug. 7, 1865. COMPANY A.

Guss, of West Chester, was authorized by the Secretary of War to raise a regiment for three years' service. Company D, the Concordville Rifles, Capt. William S. Mendenhall, was recruited in the western end of the county; Company G, the Broomall Guards (named in honor of Hon. J.M. Broomall), Capt. Jesse L. Cummins, was recruited mostly in Media and Chester and neighborhood; and Company I, Brooke Guards (so called in honor of Hon. Hugh Jones Brooke, post commissary of Pennsylvania, who contributed largely to the outfit and comforts of the men), Capt. George W. Hawkins, was recruited mostly from Springfield and Ridley townships. Many of the men had been in the three-months' service, and had some knowledge of military duties. The companies rendezvoused at Camp Wayne, near West Chester, where, on November 12th, the day it left for Washington, Governor Curtin presented the State colors to the regiment. It was shortly after ordered to Fortress Monroe, and subsequently to Port Royal, S.C., where it arrived off the harbor on the 11th of December, but heavy weather compelled the vessel to put to sea, and it was three days before the men could disembark. In January, 1862, it took part in the expedition to Warsaw Sound, Georgia, which resulted in the capture of Fort Pulaski, and on March 5th the Ninety-seventh was landed from the transport in the Florida expedition, and captured the town of Fernandina and Fort Church. In March, Gen. Hunter relieved Gen. Sherman, and the new commander ordered the evacuation of Florida. In a bold reconnoissance to Legarsville, S.C., in June, 1862, Company G (Broomall Guards) and Company H occupied Legarsville. On the 10th of June, in the Confederate attack at Secessionville, the Ninety-seventh stood the brunt of the fight until the gunboats could get into position and open fire with effect. In the fall of that year the regiment suffered severely with intermittent fever, five hundred men being at one time on the sick-list, and there were also many cases of yellow fever, a number of which proved fatal. In April, 1863, it was at Folly Island, Charleston Harbor, during the bombardment of Fort Sumter. At the storming of Fort Wagner the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts (colored) Regiment, leading the assaulting column, suffered dreadfully under the murderous fire from the fort, and when the attack failed, Companies C, D (Concordville Rifles), E, and I (Broomall Guards) stacked arms, and during the entire night were engaged in bearing off the wounded colored soldiers, Brig. Gen. Stevenson urging them on in the merciful work with the oft-repeated expression, "You know how much harder they will fare at the hands of the enemy than white men." Never, did troops expose themselves more than did these brave men, who in the darkness crawled on the ground to the very slope of the enemy's intrenchment, directed by the groans of the wounded, and dragged away the suffering black soldiers to where they would be taken and borne within the Union lines. Nowhere in all the scroll of history is recorded a nobler or braver deed than this. The regiment subsequently was active in the siege of Fort Wagner, which the enemy evacuated on the night of Sept. 6, 1863. The Ninety-seventh was ordered to Florida in October of that year, where it was engaged in reconnoissances and breaking up supply-stations of the enemy. In April, 1864, it was ordered to the Army of the James, under Gen. Butler, where it was attached to the First Brigade, Third Division. On May 9th it led the advance on Petersburg, detailed to destroy the railroad and telegraph wires, which work it accomplished, and the same day took part. in the action of Swift Creek, When Beauregard, on the 18th, attacked the Army of the James, the pickets of the Eighth Maine were driven back, and the Ninety-seventh was ordered to retake the position, which was done in. the face of a hot and destructive fire of musketry. On the evening of the 19th, when four of the companies had been driven back with fearful slaughter and the line broken, the remainder of the regiment, which included all the Delaware County companies, was ordered to advance and retake it. The command was obeyed with alacrity, and the line advanced, notwithstanding grape, canister, and musketry volleys tore frightful gaps in the ranks, until at last they were recalled, after having sustained a loss of nearly two hundred men killed and wounded. During all the campaign it was constantly in the advance, and on the 30th of June, Capt. Mendenhall, of Company D (Concordville Rifles), with three hundred from other regiments, was ordered to assault the enemy's works in front of the cemetery, an attack designed to direct the latter's attention from the real point of assault. The order was bravely obeyed, the works were captured and held until nightfall, although the real attack was not made. Over one-third of the force under Mendenhall was killed and wounded, On the 30th of July, when the mine was exploded, Capt. Hawkins (Brooke Guard), in command of five companies, successfully charged the enemy's rifle-pits. In this assault Capt. Mendenhall was wounded. On the 15th of August the regiment took part in the action at Deep Bottom, and on the 16th at Strawberry Plains. On the 25th, at Bermuda Hundred, it was attacked by the enemy at the front while it was being relieved, and a part of its line was captured, which was afterwards retaken. It participated, on September 28th, in the capture of New Market Heights, and the same day took part in the unsuccessful assault on Fort Gilmore. On Oct. 27, 1864, the regiment had a short engagement with the enemy at Darbytown roads, in which Capt. George W. Hawkins was mortally wounded. The story of the regiment, so far as it relates to the history of Delaware County in the main, closes about the end of October, 1864, when the period of service of the troops expired; for, although the numerical designation remained, the regiment after that time had little of its original elements, but was made up of drafted men and substitutes in nowise connected with our annals.
