mostly in Schuylkill County. It left the State in
November 1861, and, arriving in Virginia soon after, was
assigned to Slocum's Brigade, Franklin's Division.
General Slocum commanded the division at Gaines's Mill,
where the regiment was engaged and received a gratifying
mention in the official reports. Loss, at Gaines's Mill,
13 killed, 61 wounded, and 13 missing. It again
distinguished itself in the successful charge at
Crampton's Gap, where Major Lewis J. Martin was killed.
It sustained the heaviest loss of any regiment in that
action, its casualties amounting to 20 killed and 70
wounded - fully one-fourth of the number engaged. Still
harder fighting and greater losses were encountered in
1864, at Spotsylvania, where the Ninety-sixth was
selected as one of the twelve regiments of the Sixth
Corps to take part in Upton's charge; it proved a dearly
bought honor, its losses there, and in the other fighting
about Spotsylvania, amounting to 31 killed, 115 wounded,
and 32 missing; total 178. During this campaign the
regiment was still in the First Brigade, First Division,
Sixth Corps, General Upton commanding the brigade, and
General Wright, the division. Subsequently, General
Russell succeeded to the command of the division. Not
enough of the men reenlisted to warrant the continuance
of the regimental organization after the expiration of
its term of service, which occurred September 22, 1864,
while in the Shenandoah campaign. The original members of
the regiment returned to their homes, and the reenlisted
veterans, together with the recruits, were transferred to
the Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania.
