The National
Light Infantry of Pottsville, a company of over thirty
years' standing, the first organized body of men in the
United States to offer its services to the General
Government at the outbreak of the rebellion, and have
them accepted, one of the first five companies from this
State to reach the menaced capital, and afterwards a part
of the Twenty-fifth Regiment in the three months'
service, formed the nucleus of the Ninety-sixth Regiment,
and recruited and re-organized under its former
SecondLieutenant, Lewis J. Martin, was the first to
report in camp. Henry L. Cake, who had commanded the
Twenty-fifth Regiment, had received authority from the
War Department, on the 13th of August, 1861, to raise a
regiment for three years, and establishing a camp at
Lawton's Hill, overlooking the town of Pottsville, at
once commenced the work of recruiting, many of the
officers and men of his old command entering the new.
With the exception of companies C, E, G and H, in which
were some men from Luzerne, Berks, Dauphin, and
Montgomery counties, the regiment was recruited in
Schuylkill County. On the 23rd of September the command
was mustered into the United States service with the
following field officers: Henry L. Cake, Colonel; Jacob
G. Frick, Lieutenant Colonel; Lewis J. Martin, Major. A
week later, a company under William H. Lessig, organized
as a light battery, to be attached to the regiment, came
into camp. Subsequently company C, Captain Beaton Smith,
was, by order of the Governor, transferred to the
Fifty-second Regiment, when Lessig's company was
substituted as infantry in its place. On the 6th of
November, Governor Curtin and staff visited Pottsville,
and presented, with appropriate ceremonies, the State
colors.
On the 8th of
November the regiment moved by rail to Washington, and
upon its arrival went into camp at Kendall Green, where
it was armed with Harper's Ferry muskets. Colonel Cake
promptly reported to General Casey, and was at once
placed in command of the First Provisional Brigade, of
which the Ninety-sixth formed part. The regiment was here
thoroughly drilled in the manual, company, and battalion
exercises. On the 25th it crossed the Potomac, and
encamped on the Leesburg Pike, a short distance beyond
Fort Ellsworth. It was assigned to Slocum's Brigade of
Franklin's Division, and on the 27th of December went
into permanent winter-quarters on the Loudon and
Hampshire Railroad, near its crossing of Four Mile Run.
It remained engaged in drill and occasional picket duty
until the 10th of March 1862, when it joined in the
abortive movement upon Manassas, but soon returned to
camp. On the 4th of April, with M'Dowell's Corps, it took
up the line of march for Fredericksburg. On reaching
Catlett's Station it went into camp, and remained until
the 12th, when Franklin's Division returned to
Alexandria, and embarked for the Peninsula. M'Clellan was
now engaged in the siege of Yorktown, and on the 23rd,
the division having arrived, a part of it debarked n the
vicinity of Cheeseman's Creek. The enemy having evacuated
Yorktown on the 4th of May, the troops on shore again
embarked, and proceeding up the York River, on the 6th,
in company with the divisions of Sedgwick, Porter, and
Richardson, arrived at four P.M. at Brick House Point,
below West Point, where the Twenty-seventh New York, and
companies A, B, C and D, of the Ninety-sixth debarked,
and forming in line of battle, with skirmishers thrown
out, advanced for the protection of the pioneers engaged
in slashing timber and obstructing the roads. "At nine
o'clock on the following morning the order was given for
the Sixteenth, Thirty-first, and Thirty-second New York,
and the Ninety-fifth and Ninety-sixth Pennsylvania
regiments to advance into the woods and drive off some of
the rebel scouts who were firing occasional shots at our
pickets, supposed to be supported by a force concealed in
the woods. This proved correct; for no sooner had our men
made an advance into the woods than they were received
with a volley of musketry from the rebels who were hidden
in the dense undergrowth. Our men pressed on and gave
them a volley, after which the enemy retreated further
into the woods, with the Thirty-second New York close at
their heels; but they were too swift footed for our
boys-being more protected-and they soon left the
Thirty-second struggling in the mud." The Ninety-sixth
was now held upon the extreme left of the line, nearest
to Brick House Point, to prevent a flank movement of the
enemy in that direction, while the fighting on the right
center, where his forces were concealed in a dense swamp,
was animated, the Thirty-first and Thirty-second New
York, and the Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania sustaining
considerable loss.
After the
engagement at West Point, the Fifth and Sixth Provisional
corps were organized, to the latter of which General
Franklin was assigned, General Slocum being promoted to
the command of the division, and Colonel Bartlett, of the
Twenty-seventh New York, to that of the brigade. On the
25th the division moved past Gaines' Mill, and went into
camp in the vicinity of Hogan's House, just beyond. A few
days later the brigade moved up to Mechanicsville, where
it remained doing picket duty along the Chickahominy
until the 6th of June, when it returned to its former
position at the Hogan House. On the 18th the division was
relieved by the Pennsylvania Reserves, and crossing the
Chickahominy at Woodbury Bridge, took position on the
right bank, between Smith's Division, which had the
right, and Sumner's Corps the left. Here the brigade
remained engaged in arduous picket and fatigue duty until
the opening of the Seven Days' Battles. On the evening of
that day, the 26th, a detail of three hundred and fifty
men of the Ninety-sixth, with a like detail of the
Seventh Maine, under Lieutenant Colonel Frick, advanced
to the front in the direction of Old Tavern, and under
cover of darkness, threw up a redoubt in close proximity
to the enemy's lines. At early dawn it retired
unassailed, leaving the relief to fight during the day,
what was known as the battle of Golden's Farm.
Returning to camp
near Strong Courtney's House, it re-joined the brigade,
and with the entire division moved to a position on the
right of Smith's Division, between Lewis' Hill and
Chickahominy, the right resting near Duane Bridge,
opposite the left of the Gaines' Mill battle-field. Here
it remained until two o'clock, when Porter's forces being
hard pressed in the battle, under orders, Newton's, then
Taylor's Jersey Brigade, and shortly after Bartlett's,
marched to his support, crossing the Chickahominy by the
Woodbury Bridge. Previous to starting, a detail from the
Ninety-sixth, with one from the Third Vermont, under
Adjutant M. E. Richards, destroyed Duane Bridge. At
twenty minutes past three the brigade reached the scene
of action on the left of the line, moved past General St.
George Cooke's Cavalry, occupying a sheltered position to
the rear and left of Adams' House, and was immediately
afterwards ordered to the relief of Sykes' command, which
was engaged in supporting Weed's, Edwards', and Tidball's
batteries, the latter on the extreme right of the
position. The arrival of the brigade was opportune. The
Fifth and Tenth New York, on the left of Sykes, driven
back, had been re-placed by the First Pennsylvania
Reserve, which in turn was relieved by a part of Newton's
Brigade. The Regulars, hard pressed, were wavering.
Instantly the Fifth Maine, then the Twenty-seventh New
York, the Sixteenth New York, and shortly after the
Ninety-sixth Pennsylvania, advanced across the field
under a heavy fire, and took position along the crest of
the hill, from the left of Griffin's-then supported by
Newton's men-to the rear of Tidball's Battery. The
Ninety-sixth was at first held in support, closed in mass
in the open valley below, where it was fearfully exposed.
To shield his men and save them from the destruction to
which they seemed almost inevidently condemned, Colonel
Cake moved them close up on the side of the hill. The
Sixteenth New York, which was ordered to advance, soon
came under a fearful enfilading fire, and was driven in
some confusion. The Ninety-sixth, which had in the
meantime been deployed in line, was brought to confront
the enemy's line, and the word given to advance. It was
answered with a cheer, and as by one impulse, the line
dashed forward; re-took the lost ground, and held it
until night. The boldness of this charge undoubtedly
saved the right of the army from disaster. The loss of
the brigade in this engagement was severe, that of the
Ninety-sixth was thirteen killed, fifty-nine wounded, and
fourteen missing. Lieutenant Ernest T. Ellrich was among
the killed.
Retiring to its old
camp beyond Woodbury Bridge, the brigade rested for the
night, and on the following morning was moved to Fort
Davidson, to the right of the line. Scarcely had it got
into position, when the enemy opened a heavy artillery
fire from the vicinity of Dr. Gaines' House, on the
opposite bluff of the Chickahominy, rendering the
position untenable, and obliging it to retire, when, with
the entire army, it about faced, and commenced the march
for the James. After crossing White Oak Creek, it was
posted to defend the passage, and in the battle of
Charles City Cross Roads occupied a position to the right
of the line, in the vicinity of Glendale. During the
night of the 30th, it retired to Malvern Hill, where,
during the terrific fighting of the 1st of July, it was
posted on the extreme left of the field, near Carter's
Mill, and Colonel Cake was placed in command of the
brigade. Retiring with the army to Harrison's Landing, on
the morning of the 3rd of July, the regiment pitched
tents on the muddy plains of Westover Landing. From this
it moved out on the Westover Road, and after two
successive changes of camps, on the 15th moved with the
brigade into the breastworks looking towards Malvern
Hill, where it remained employed in picket and fatigue
duty until the evacuation. While here the regiment
received Enfield rifles in exchange for the Austrian
muskets with which it had made the campaign. The
Pottsville Cornet Band, which had been attached to the
regiment from its organization, was by a general order of
the War Department relieved from further duty, and
returned home. On the 29th Lieutenant Colonel Frick
resigned, to take command of the One Hundred and
Twenty-ninth Pennsylvania, Captain Joseph Anthony of
company F, to be Major of the same regiment, and
Lieutenant Z. P. Boyer of company D, to be Lieutenant
Colonel of the One Hundred and Seventy-third
Regiment.
On the 16th of
August the brigade moved from camp on the James and
taking transports at Newport News, arrived at Alexandria
on the 24th, and went into bivouac along the Little River
Turnpike, below Fort Ellsworth. On the 27th it moved into
Fort Lyons, but was relieved on the 29th, and followed
the rest of the corps, joining it at Annandale. On the
30th the corps pushed forward through Fairfax and
Centreville, crossed Cub Run, and arrived in time to join
in stemming the tide of disaster, which was sweeping the
Bull Run battlefield.
Returning to
Alexandria, the regiment joined in the Maryland campaign,
which was immediately after inaugurated. The army moved
for the crossing of the South Mountain, by Crampton's and
Turner's passes. Each held by strong bodies of the enemy.
Franklin's Corps arrived in front of Crampton's Gap,
which debouches into Pleasant Valley in the rear of, and
but five miles from Maryland Heights, opposite Harper's
Ferry, at noon of the 14th of September. The Ninety-sixth
in advance of the column, entered Burkettsville early in
the morning, driving out the rebel skirmishers, and drew
the fire of his artillery upon the mountain developing
his line of defense. Immediately forming with Slocum on
the right, his line being composed of Bartlett's and
Torbert's brigades, supported by Newton's, with Smith
disposed for the protection of Slocum's flank, Franklin
attacked. The pass was held by M'Laws' Division of the
rebel army, under General Cobb, the position an excellent
one for defense. The brigade was formed on the right of
the line, and advanced to within a thousand yards of a
stone wall, where the enemy was making a final stand. The
Ninety-sixth, which had been engaged upon the left of the
line, now came up, and the other regiments of the
brigade, with ammunition exhausted, falling back,
advanced upon the concealed foe, in line with Torbert's
Brigade, which had the left. The path of the Ninety-sixth
was across open fields, intersected by fences and hedges,
where every man presented a fair mark for the keen eyed
rebel sharpshooter. But the line dashed forward, pausing
at each fence to fire a volley, until it reached a thin
strip of corn. As it approached this field the enemy's
fire ceased, and while it was passing through it an
ominous silence prevailed; but the moment it emerged from
this slight cover a perfect sheet of flame was poured
upon it, and many of the bravest fell. But unflinching
the survivors dashed forward with the bayonet, completely
routed the enemy's line, and took many prisoners. The
loss in the Ninety-sixth was twenty killed, seventy-one
severely, and fourteen slightly wounded, out of less than
four hundred effective men who entered the engagement.
Major Martin, and Lieutenant John Dougherty, were among
the killed.
On the 17th, at
Antietam, Franklin's Corps arrived upon the right of the
field, where the fighting had been most terrific, at a
time when the corps of Hooker and Sumner, broken and
greatly thinned, where yielding ground, and immediately
hurled back the foe, sweeping across the corn field, and
holding firmly the gory ground, over which the fiery
bellows of the battle had been sweeping to and fro, until
the close of the contest. The position of Bartlett's
Brigade was to the rear and left of the batteries of
Porter, Walcott, and Williston, where it remained
throughout the day. Though exposed to a continuous and
heavy artillery fire the loss in the regiment was only
two killed. After the battle the corps was posted at the
crossroads northeast of Bakersville. General Slocum, who
had been promoted to the command of the Twelfth Corps,
was succeeded in command of the division by General W. T.
H. Brooks. Captain Peter A. Filbert was commissioned
Lieutenant Colonel, to date from July 30th, and Captain
William H. Lessig to Major, to date from September
15th.
With the corps the
regiment moved back into Virginia, and followed the army
in its subsequent maneuvers, until, under Burnside, it
entered on the Fredericksburg campaign, Colonel Cake in
the meantime being placed in command of a mixed force of
infantry, cavalry, and artillery, which was in position
at Thoroughfare Gap, and subsequently in command of the
brigade. On the 12th of December, after having first
assisted in laying the pontoons at Franklin's crossing,
it moved over the Rappahannock, and after some
skirmishing took position with the brigade along the
Bowling Green Road at a point above where it is crossed
by Deep Run. Here it remained, under an almost continuous
shower of shot and shell without becoming actively
engaged except upon the skirmish line, until the night of
the 15th, when it re-crossed the river, the army at the
same time retiring, and went into camp near White Oak
Church. Late in December, Lieutenant Colonel Filbert was
honorably discharged, Major Lessig being subsequently
promoted to succeed him.
On the 16th of
January 1863, the regiment moved to Belle Plain Landing
on fatigue duty, retiring on the 19th, and on the 20th
joined the column in its movement upon the Mud March.
Returning to the old campgrounds of the brigade near
White Oak Church on the 25th, the regiment remained until
the 1st of February, when, with the exception of
companies C and K, it was detached, and sent to Windmill
Point on heavy fatigue duty [to unload coal
barges]. Here, subject to the orders of General
Patrick, Provost Marshall General of the Army, it was
engaged in constant service until the 1st of March, when
it again re-joined the brigade. Colonel Cake received his
first leave of absence since entering the service, in
January 1863, resigned March 12th, and his resignation
was accepted on the 2nd of May following. The command of
the regiment then devolved on Lieutenant Colonel
Lessig.
Towards the close
of April, the army having been thoroughly re-organized
under General Hooker, stood ready for the order to
advance on the Chancellorsville campaign. To the Sixth
Corps, now under command of General Sedgwick, was
assigned the part to advance by way of Fredericksburg and
Marye's Heights. At two o'clock on the afternoon of the
28th of April the brigade occupied Stafford Heights. On
the night of the 29th, following closely Russell's
Brigade, it passed over the Rappahannock at Franklin's
Crossing, and with slight lose occupied the enemy's works
on the Bernard Farm. On the morning of the 3rd of May,
the regiment was sent out by General Brooks to clear the
front of the enemy's sharpshooters, who were annoying the
Union artillerists posted beyond the Bowling Green Road,
in front of the Bernard Mansion. This order was
successfully executed, but not without stubborn
resistance, the regiment losing five killed and eighteen
wounded. After the capture of Marye's Heights-which was
handsomely accomplished by Newton's and Howe's
divisions-Brooks' Division, which had been held in
reserve, now advanced,-with the exception of the 27th New
York, left behind for guard and observation,-and took the
lead in pursuit of the retreating enemy. In the vicinity
of Salem Church, Bartlett's Brigade was drawn up, and
advanced in line of battle on the left of the road,
Torert's Jersey Brigade on the right, Russell's Brigade,
with the artillery, moving upon the road in reserve,
ready to act as occasion might require. It was known that
the enemy was in the woods beyond, but it was supposed to
be the rear guard of his retreating column, and the
information had been derived from rebel deserters,
doubtless sent back to mislead the Union generals, that
his trains had fallen into hopeless confusion and could
be easily captured. Without stopping to shell the woods
or develop the enemy's strength, Brooks' Division was
pushed forward, on the very heels of the skirmishers,
until it came suddenly upon three divisions of the rebel
army,-most of which had been sent back from
Chancellorsville,-drawn up in ambush, awaiting the
advance of the Union column. The surprise was complete,
and the division with its support was driven back,
suffering grievous slaughter. The loss in the regiment,
including that at the Bowling Green Road, was sixteen
killed, fifty-seven wounded and twenty missing.
Lieutenant Alexander Allison was among the mortally
wounded. Unable to hold the ground the corps retired by
Banks' Ford, and at midnight of the 4th of May, the
regiment bivouacked on the heights overlooking the ford.
The Twenty-third New Jersey having been left to cover the
ford and remove the pontoons, unable to accomplish the
work, the Ninety-sixth was sent to take its place, and
successfully performed the duty. Relieved by the cavalry
on the 8th, it re-joined the brigade, and again went into
camp near White Oak Church. About the middle of May, the
term of service of the Sixteenth and Twenty-seventh New
York regiments having expired, they were mustered out,
and the Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania and Thirty-first New
York, of Russell's command, were transferred to the
brigade. A few days later General Brooks was ordered to
the command of the Department of the Allegheny,
headquarters at Pittsburg, and General H. G. Wright
succeeded him in command of the division.
Early in June,
great activity being manifested by the rebel army, the
Sixth Corps was again ordered to cross the Rappahannock,
for a reconnaissance in force. At two P.M. on the 6th,
the brigade occupied Stafford Heights, and at evening
passed over at Franklin's Crossing. Extensive earthworks
were thrown up all along the line of the Bernard
Plantation, from Deep Run Ravine to a point beyond the
ruins of the Bernard Mansion. Continuous skirmishing was
kept up with occasional artillery practice. From
supporting the Fifth U.S. Battery, the regiment was sent
on the 7th to picket the Deep Run Ravine. Here it
remained under a continuous fire until relieved by the
Forty-ninth, and One Hundred and Nineteenth Pennsylvania
regiments, and late at night on the 10th it returned to
Stafford Heights, where, on the following day, in
presence of nearly the entire division, a beautiful silk
flag, the gift of friends in Schuylkill county, was
presented by a committee of citizens. Early on the
morning of the 12th, the brigade was sent out on picket,
covering the country from the Rappahannock nearly to the
Potomac. At nine o'clock on the evening of the 13th the
regiment was withdrawn from the picket line, and
re-joining the brigade at White Oak Church, started on
the ever memorable Gettysburg campaign. With only short
intervals of rest the movement continued until the
afternoon of July 2nd, when at the moment of great peril
in the battle, as the veterans of Longstreet, massed upon
the extreme left, were doubling up and driving the corps
of Sickles, it arrived upon the field. Foot sore and
weary, the men were at once formed, and with scarcely a
moment's'rest, were pushed forward upon the right of the
road leading out to the Peach Orchard, to a slight
elevation, on the right and front of Little Round Top,
and took position behind a stone fence which it held with
slight loss until the close of the battle.
On the morning of
the 5th of July the Sixth Corps started in pursuit of the
enemy. Prisoners were taken at every turn, and the
enemy's rear guard was closely pressed, compelling him to
open frequently with his artillery. The sufferings in
this pursuit were intense. The crossing of Cotoctin
Mountain, along a by-road, at night, and in the midst of
a terrific thunderstorm, will ever be remembered for its
hardships. On the 10th the regiment, with two companies
of the One Hundred and Twenty-first, skirmished in the
advance along the Funkstown Road, and drove the rear of
the enemy, after stubborn resistance, across the Antietam
at Claggett's'Mills. In this skirmish, and subsequently,
while upon the picket line in front of Hagerstown, the
regiment lost several wounded.
Without coming to
battle the enemy escaped into Virginia, and the Union
army followed. After successive marchings and
countermarchings, the brigade in the latter part of July,
was detached from the division and sent to New Baltimore,
where it was employed in picketing and scouting, and the
usual rounds of drill and parade. On the 4th of September
rebel guerrillas made a midnight decent upon General
Bartlett's headquarters. The regiment was at the time on
picket, and in the encounter three of its number were
wounded, the enemy being quickly routed. On the 15th of
September the command left New Baltimore, and moved to
Warrenton, where it entered on Meade's Rapidan Campaign,
returning from Centreville to the vicinity of Warrenton
on the 20th of October. Here it remained until the 7th of
November, when, with the command, it moved to
Rappahannock Station, the brigade supporting Russell in
the battle, which ensued. The loss was one severely, and
several slightly wounded. The command went into camp near
the confluence of the Aestham with the Rappahannock, and
with the exception of the movement to Mine Run, and in
support of the cavalry in the reconnaissance to
Robertson's River, it remained in quarters here during
the winter, a considerable number of the regiment
re-enlisting, in the meantime, as veteran
volunteers.
On the 4th of May
1864, the brigade broke up winter-quarters and crossing
the Rapidan, joined in the Battle of the Wilderness. It
was almost constantly engaged in skirmishing during the
five succeeding days, and on the 10th of May took part in
the charge of the twelve picked regiments of the Sixth
Corps on the enemy's works. The loss in the command was
very heavy, Captain Edward Thomas being among the
mortally wounded. On the 12th, at the salient known as
the Slaughter Pen, in front of Spotsylvania, the fragment
of the regiment remaining, with the division decimated as
it was, held the position from early dawn until late at
night, exposed during the whole time to a fire of
musketry, which for severity, has few parallels in the
history of warfare. So incessant was the shower of
missiles, that tress over a foot in diameter, were cut
off by the constant stroke of bullets. The loss in this
series of engagements was thirty-three killed, one
hundred and thirteen wounded, and thirty-nine missing, of
whom the greater part were subsequently ascertained to
have been killed. Remaining in the vicinity until the
14th, under almost continuous fire, the command moved to
Bleak Hill, where, as at Salem Church, the division was
pushed against the enemy in force; but soon finding
itself overpowered, rapidly retired, some of the general
officers making a narrow escape.
Upon reaching Cold
Harbor, the brigade to which the Second Connecticut Heavy
Artillery had been added, stormed and carried a portion
of the enemy's works in front of the Cold Harbor House,
sustaining heavy loss. It was here that acting Adjutant
John T. Hannum received his mortal wound. From Cold
Harbor the brigade moved to the James, bivouacking on
Taylor's Plantation, and moving hence by water to Bermuda
Hundred. Crossing the Appomattox it moved up to the
Petersburg front, arriving on the 19th of June. Here the
regiment was employed in building breast works,
picketing, sharpshooting, with occasional charges upon
the enemy's works, involving sharp fighting. On the 29th
it took part in the descent upon the Weldon Railroad, in
which a considerable portion of the track was completely
destroyed.
Remaining in front
of Petersburg until July 10th, the brigade, in company
with a part of the corps, marched to City Point, whence
it moved by transport to Washington. Upon its arrival it
was at once put upon the track of Early, who, with a
considerable body of the rebel army, was threatening
Washington. With the Army of the Shenandoah the regiment
participated in all the operations in the Valley up to
September 22nd, when, its term of service had expired,
leaving a battalion composed of the veterans and
recruits, which was subsequently consolidated with the
Ninety-fifth Regiment, it withdrew from the front at
Strasburg, and took up the line of march for Harper's
Ferry, convoying thither a train of ambulances filled
with the wounded. Proceeding by way of Baltimore and
Harrisburg it reached Pottsville on the 26th, and on the
evening of that day received at the hands of the
citizens, a most flattering public welcome. On the 21st
of October, at Hestonville, in West Philadelphia, it was
paid and finally mustered out of service.
