CHAPTER I.
Organization — Flag Presentation, Storm at Sea, &c.
Tlie companies comprising the Fiftieth Regiment, Pennsylvania
Volunteers, were recruited, as follows: A, C, and part of I, from
Schuylkill County; 13, E, and part of H, from Berks; D, from
Susquehanna; F, from Lancaster; G and K, from Bradford; part
of H, from Chester; and part of I, from Luzerne. Rendezvous-
ing at Camp Cnrtin, the regiment was organized on the 28th day
of September, 1861, by the choice of the following officers:
Colonel — Benjamin C. Christ, of Miners ville, Schuylkill County.
Lieutenant Colonel — Thos. S. Brenholtz, of Reading, Berks
County, (Captain of Company H.)
Major — Edward Overton, Jr., of Towanda, Bradford County.
Adjutant— John A. Rogers, of Lancaster County, and 1st Lieu-
tenant of Company F.
Quarter Master— Dr. Alfred Jones, of Schuylkill County.
Surgeon — David J. McKibbin, of Schuylkill County.
Assistant Surgeon — Joseph P. Vickers.
Sergeant Major — Henry A. Lantz, of Reading, Berks County.
Hospital Steward — Alexander H. Shaffer, private of Company G.
On the 1st of October, Andrew G. Curtin, Governor of the
State, presented the regiment a beautiful silk flag, which was re-
ceived by Colonel Christ, who returned to the authorities of the
HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
State his most grateful thanks. He assured the Governor that the
confidence reposed in the men of the Fiftieth Regiment would be
one of its incentives to prompt duty, and that while there was a
man left standing, or an arm could be raised to strike a blow, that
flag should be borne aloft in defiance of all the foes that might
assail it. It was their emblem of trust and confidence, and as such
it should be returned to the State that had reposed it to their care,
with its stripes unmarred and its stars undimmed.
The Harrisburg Telegraph adds: "That certainly no nobler or
more enthusiastic set of men have yet left the State, and we confi-
dently expect for them all a most useful and glorious service in
suppressing the rebellion."
After which the regiment took transportation for Washington,
D. C, where it arrived late in the night of the second.
On the third, it encamped on Kalorama Heights.
On the morning of the fourth, the first detail was made for
picket duty. After the guard was formed, Colonel Christ delivered
a short address to the men, showing them the danger of careless-
ness and inattention to duty, also reciting the punishment for sleep-
ing on post, as laid down in the "Blue Book." Pointing to the
sun, he remarked, that "As sure as yonder luminary shines, the
picket found sleeping on his post will be shot."
October 9th, the regiment broke camp and returned to Wash-
ington, where it took cars for Annapolis, Md., here it was quar-
tered in the Naval Buildings until the eleventh, when it was
assigned to Brigadier General I. I. Steven's Brigade, of Major
General T. W. Sherman's Corps, and encamped a short distance
from the town, where it remained until the 19th.
During the trip from Harrisburg to Washington, D. C, an acci-
dent occurred at Goldsboro, Pa., in which E. S. Warner, of Com-
pany "D," had his arm mashed between the cars.
While quartered in the Naval Buildings, the house was filled
with smoke from a defective flue, causing an alarm of "Fire," when
quite an excitement took place, and during the panic several mem-
bers of Company "B" were severely hurt.
For some unexplained reason, the commissary stores for the
regiment failed to reach Annapolis until after the provisions, which
the men had in their haversacks, were exhaused. The Forty-sixth
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS.
New York Volunteers kindly shared their rations with the Fiftieth,
from this generous act sprung up an attachment between the two
regiments, which lasted during the entire four years' service.
The regiment was armed with old flint lock Harper Ferry muskets
changed so as to admit the use of the percussion cap. Many of
these muskets were, as the men often remarked, made to shoot
around a corner.
While encamped on Kalorama Heights, every morning after the
pickets were relieved from duty, the detail were marched out by
the officer of the guard and ordered to fire off its guns at a large
target. It was a very rare thing for a shot to hit the board, not-
withstanding, some of the men were at home considered crack
marksmen.
These muskets were afterwards exchanged for the Austrian Rifle,
a small gun weighing eight pounds and of great beauty, carrying
a ball of 67-calibre, fifteen hundred yards.
The Fiftieth being the only regiment in the Ninth Army Corps
having guns of this calibre, it was deemed inexpedient to transport
ammunition for one regiment, hence in 1863, it was compelled to
exchange for the Springfield Rifle, which was done by the men
with regret. The Springfield not being near so pretty and about
four pounds heavier.
While the regiment was quartered in the different camps, it was
thoroughly exercised in squad, company and regimental drills.
On the 19th of October, 1861, Companies A, B, C, D and E.,
under command of Colonel Christ, embarked on the Winfield Scott,
and F, G, H, I and K, under command of Lieutenant Colonel
Brenholtz, embarked with the 100th Regiment, Pennsylvania Vol-
unteers, on the Ocean Queen. The vessels immediately proceeded
to Hampton Rhoads, where they remained until the night of the
30th, when the entire fleet, under command of Commodore Dupont
and General T. W. Sherman, weighed anchor and proceeded to
sea, sailing under sealed orders for some unknown point.
A beautiful scene was presented on the morning of the 31st, as
the sun shone brilliantly out over the world of waters, which
seemed to be agitated by some unseen power. By night the clouds
above and the water beneath seemed to be in angry combat, using
our vessels as foot balls; one moment down in the hollow between
6 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
two great waves, the next on the summit, and then plunging down
the dizzy height on the opposite side almost with lightning speed.
The storm continued to increase until the night of the 1st of No-
vember, while rounding Cape Hatteras, the Winfield Scott, an old
vessel utterly unsea worthy, sprung a leak and the vessel was barely
saved from foundering. The masts were cut away, guns, tents,
knapsacks and every thing loose was thrown overboard. Signals
of distress having been hoisted, brought the Gunboat Bienville to
its assistance, but the severity of the gale rendered assistance im-
possible.
A great wave dashed the Bienville against the Scott, threatening
the distraction of the latter, hence all that remained to be done was
to stick to the pumps, and by almost superhuman efforts the vessel
was kept afloat.
The Ocean Queen carried her precious burden of 1,500 souls
safely through the entire storm.
On both vessels incidents occurred during the storm that fur-
nished considerable amusement afterwards.
Several officers on the Scott were in the cabin playing cards
when the announcement was made that the vessel was sinking — one
immediately fell upon his knees and began praying very earnestly
for the salvation of his soul; another grasped him by the coat
collar remarking, "no time for praying now, we must work or
sink."
When the order was given to throw overboard every thing that
was loose, the very first thing pitched out by the men was the life
preservers, of which the vessel had a good supply.
Very few of the men had ever been on a vessel before, and had
no idea "what those little round tin things were for."
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS.
CHAPTER II.
Capture of Hilton Head — Beaufort, etc.
The fleet commanded by Commodore Samuel F. Dupont, con-
sisted of fifty vessels, of which two transports were lost and as
many gunboats seriously damaged, losing their cargoes.
Notwithstanding, the storm having dispersed the fleet, one vessel
after another began to reach the harbor of Port Royal, on Sunday,
November 3d. About four o'clock in the afternoon, five rebel gun-
boats, hitherto concealed behind a headland, boldly ran down the
harbor and attacked the gunboats of Dupont's fleet. But after
three-quarters of an hour's sharp skirmishing, Commodore Tatnall,
of the rebel "Mosquito fleet," was glad to fly back as precipitately
as he had come forth. On Thursday following, about half past
seven a. m., a clear calm morning, one of Commodore Dupont's
boats firing upon a rebel steamer elicited an instant reply, and in
an hour afterward, the Union gunboats were busily at work pep-
pering, not only the rebel steamers, but also the batteries on the
shore.
At two o'clock p. M., the rebels were in utter rout, and half an
hour after the stars and stripes floated over Fort Walker.
As the emblem of liberty was run up the flag staff shout after
shout burst from the soldiers and sailors who had witnessed the
contest.
The regiment now went into camp on the island, and was em-
ployed in building fortifications until the 6th of December.
On the evening of November 9th, a volunteer foraging party of
one-hundred men, under command of Capt. Win. H. Telford, Lieuts.
J. C. Foot and Michael McMahon, passed beyond the picket lines
a considerable distance when the order was given to encamp for the
night. Fires were immediately built and preparations for supper
were progressing finely, when it was discovered that a line of gray
coated men deployed as skirmishers, were advancing toward us,
without a word of command, every man grasped his musket and
HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
prepared for action. The clicking of the gun locks on both sides
was distinctly heard, and had it not been for the presence of mind
of Private M. A. Coolbaugh, of Company "K," who at this
moment called out, " Who are youf and then said, " We are Union
men," no doubt a fatal conflict would have taken place. The
skirmishers belonged to the Eighth Regiment, New Hamshire
Volunteers. Neither regiment knew of the others presence, hence
the almost fatal conflict.
This handful of men there exhibited the spirit that won for the
regiment in future engagements the kindly recognition of the au-
thorities at Washington.
On the 6th of December, the regiment was sent by steamer to
Beaufort, 8. C, to take possession of the island, where it arrived
about midnight. Pickets were immediately thrown out under
command of Captain J. B. Brandt, of Company "A." Early in
the morning of the 7th, a company of Rebel Cavalry made its ap-
pearance on the Shell road just beyond the town, when a short en-
gagement took place, and Captain Barnwell, of the Rebel Army,
was wounded. This was the regiment's first experience in com-
bating the foe. The only casualty during the engagement was the
wounding of Jacob Gertler, private of Company " C."
The regiment proceeded immediately to the Port Royal Ferry
and different points on the island to do picket duty, which was its
principal work during its entire stay on the island.
December 9th, three companies under Lieutenant Colonel Bren-
holtz moved out the Shell road. Company "A" was left at the
fork of the Shell and Seabrook roads. Companies "E"and "K"
were taken to the Ferry. Six men were posted on the causeway to
observe the enemy's movements. Soon after six or eight shots
were fired by the enemy, and an effort was made, by them, to burn
the house on the end of the causeway. • Next morning, (December
10th, 1861,) Lieutenant Ransom's Battery opened fire upon the
enemy and drove them from their works on the opposite side of
the river. Privates Colter and Abrams, of Company "K," vol-
unteered to swim over and bring back the small boat, so that we
might send over a force to secure the ferry and flat boats. While
they were crossing, a horseman came rapidly down" the causeway
on the enemy's side, waving a flag of truce, and upon Lieutenant
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS.
Colonel Brenholtz answering the signal, rode to the water's edge
and inquired of the swimmers as to who was in command there.
They referred him to Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz and offered to
rake him over, this lie declined, but invited the Colonel over.
Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz, Lieutenants Lusk and Kelly, (of
Stevens' Staff,) after the swimmers had brought the boats to our side,
crossed over; the Colonel left the boat and advanced up the cause-
way, and held the following conversation:
"Your rank?"
"Sergeant."
"You represent whom?"
"Captain Barnwell."
" What is your object in coming here under a flag of truce?"
"I was sent by Captain Barnwell to ascertain whether the
enemy occupied that island."
" Well, I should think that Captain Barnwell knew that by this
time?"
"Well, it does look like it."
"What does this tiring mean?"
The Colonel replied : " You have no right to demand that, but
tell Captain Barnwell, you would not have been molested for the
present; but for the firing upon our pickets and the wanton
attempt to burn that building."
" Why, I was not aware of that."
"Yes, the evidence is still before your eyes, the house is still
burning."
Well, said he: " What do you intend by this war?"
The Colonel replied : " It is not my object in coming to receive a
Hag of truce to answer questions such as these, and it is perhaps
worse than useless for us to discuss matters for which armies are
now contending; but, I feel like saying to you, that when you lay
down your arms and return to peaceable pursuits, and once more
become loyal citizens, we will return to our homes, and not before,
for we have come to preserve the Union."
He rejoined: "Do you mean we are to take the oath of allegi-
ance?"
The Colonel replied: "No, disband your armies, and permit the
10 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
laws of the land to be executed, and no oatli will be required of
you."
Rebel: "And if we do not?"
Colonel: "But you must."
Rebel: u Yes, we'll submit, (rather a strong expression fitted this
space.")
Colonel: "We intend to compel you to submit. But, if you
have nothing of importance to communicate we will close our in-
terview. Tell Captain Barnwell, that for the present, we intend
occupying yonder island, the future about which you are so solicit-
ous will speak for itself. Good morning."
The Colonel and his party returned to the island. Soon after it
was ascertained from negroes that the object of the flag of truce
was to gain time to take Captain Barnwell, who had been wounded
by our pickets, to a place of safety.
Immediately after returning to the island, Colonel Brenholtz
took twelve men and crossed over the ferry, and tore down the
building on the enemy's side, which they used as a barricade. This
was accomplished right in the enemy's presence, and more than
four times our number; but under the terror inspired by the can-
nonading, not daring to molest us. The negroes report that their
masters regarded the tearing down and carrying off of their build-
ing under their eyes, as a cool operation.
During the morning of December 11th, 1861, the enemy were
discovered throwing up earthworks, on the opposite side of the
river, near the ferry. A messenger was at once sent to General
Stevens, who immediately ordered the balance of the regiment, the
Battery and the Seventy-ninth New York, to the ferry, where they
arrived about four o'clock on the morning of the 12th. The bat-
tery opened fire soon after daylight. Lieuts. Lantz and Taylor,
with a small party, were sent over to discover the position of the
enemy's guns. They were obliged to retreat hastily to their boats,
without accomplishing anything more than that the enemy seemed
to be in considerable force. The morning of the 13th being clear,
Colonel Christ, Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz and Major Morrison,
of the Seventy-ninth New York, reconnoitered the enemy's works
and found two guns had been mounted. About noon, a report was
received from one of our outer picket posts that the enemy were
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 11
on tlu- island. The reserve was immediately marched to the scene,
part of Company " K " was deployed as skirmishers and forwarded
through the wood to the place where we expected to find the enemy.
A party of our own men who were out without the knowledge of
the pickets, were seen by them at a distance and were taken for
rebels.
Head-Quarters, District of Port Royal.
Beaufort, S. C, December 8th, 1861.
Lieut. Col. Brenholtz,
Sir: — In command of three companies of the Fiftieth Regiment
which has been assigned to you, you will move at five o'clock to-
morrow morning, proceed to Port Royal Ferry and relieve Lieu-
tenant Colonel Armstrong now stationed there. You will observe
closely the ferry, the adjacent main and the shores of Port Royal
Island on either hand. You will send small parties, each under
the charge of an officer, to the neighboring plantations to ascertain
the amount of transportation, forage and provisions they will sup-
ply to the command, and will take the necessary measures to save
them for its use. It is said the navigation of the river, separating
the island from the main, has been obstructed, both above and
below the ferry, by piles driven across. Ascertain the facts and
stop further proceedings of that kind. You will take every pre-
caution to guard against surprise, will endeavor to send daily re-
ports, noting carefully everything you learn in regard to the several
points to which your attention has been called.
Truly and respectfully,
Your most obedient,
(Signed,) I. I. STEVENS,
Brig. Gen' I Command i ng.
In compliance with the above order. On the 14th, Lieutenant
Colonel Brenholtz, Lieutenant Kellog and four men of Company
"K," started in a small boat to sound the channel with a view of
ascertaining whether and to what extent it had been obstructed.
They found the channel clear and a depth of from fourteen to
12 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
twenty feet, except at one point about two miles above the ferry
where the enemy had driven in spiles and sunk oak logs. The
obstruction extended about twenty feet into the channel. The
enemy had been compelled to abandon the work before destroying
the entire channel. They found the channel to have sufficient
width for large boats to pass through.
On the 21st of December, the portion of the regiment that had
been placed under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz,
and stationed at the ferry, was relieved and ordered back to Beau-
fort, here on Christmas day, the men got up a ball on the regi-
mental camp ground, and cards of invitation were issued to the
officers. A violin, drum and three brass horns, were the instru-
ments used to furnish music, to which officers and men "tipped
the light fantastic toe," and merriment and good feeling prevailed
undisturbed.
While this pleasant time was being had in camp, Captain Par-
ker, of Company "H," with his company and Lieutenant J. C.
Foot, and part of Company "D," crossed the Broad River in small
boats from Rev. Barnwell's plantation, with the intention of cap-
turing a picket post; who hearing the muffled dip of the oars, took
the alarm and hastened away for re-inforcements.
January 1st, 1862, the regiment accompanied General I. I.
Stevens in his attack on the Rebel Fort at Port Royal Ferry.
The part taken in this engagement will be fully expressed in
Colonel Christ's official report, which is as follows:
Beaufort, S. C, January 2d, 1862.
Capt. H. Stevens, A. A. G.,
Sir: — I respectfully submit the following: According to special
order No. , I left our encampment at Beaufort at 5h o'clock
p. M., December 31st, 1861, with four companies of my command,
viz : C, E, F and K, and proceeded along the Shell road in the
direction of Port Royal Ferry to the Cross Roads, where 1 was
joined by Companies D and H. We then proceeded along the
Shell road to the six mile post, where we bivouacked until 2|
o'clock A. M., January 1st, 1862, when I again took my line of
march, under the direction of the guide, to a point on Brick Yard
Creek. From this latter point, I was ordered by the General
PENNSYLVANIA V KTERAN VOLUNTEERS. 13
Commanding to a point called the " Brick Yard," on the upper
end of Port Royal Island, and as soon as boats were furnished me,
t<> push across Coosaw River, and landed at the "Adam's House,"
where I arrived at \'2\ o'clock P. M., and immediately formed a
junction with Companies A, B, G and I, under command of Lieu-
tenant Colonel Brenholtz, who had reached this point from Beau-
fort by boats. The whole regiment then took their position in the
centre of the Brigade, and proceeded with it, under heavy cannonading
of the enemy, over a narrow causeway, and along a road leading to
the Port Royal Ferry. When within three-quarters of a mile of
the Fort, I was ordered, with the right wing ot my command, on
the enemy's right, with a view to support Colonel Fenton, of the
Eighth Michigan, who was gallantly leading his command in the
face of a Battery, on the enemy's left. I accordingly moved for-
ward, taking the precaution to throw out small skirmishing parties,
the better to watch the movements of the enemy, and to guard
against surprise. After moving forward about three hundred
yards, my advance was fired upon by the enemy from the wood on
our left. I called in my skirmishers, and immediately put my
command on the double quick, until within good musket range,
when I discovered from 400 to 500 of the enemy forming into
line of battle, and evidently preparing to give us a warm reception.
I, however, anticipated his movements, and before his line was
completed, mine was formed and ready for action. I immediately
commenced firing, and I believe with telling effect, for, at the third
volley, the enemy broke and beat a hasty retreat towards the wood.
I again rapidly pushed forward, with a view to cut off his retreat,
and prevent a junction with their main body, when I was arrested
in my further progress by shells from our gun boats, which now
came pouring in among them, making sad havoc in their already
decimated ranks. After firing one more volley at their broken
and disordered ranks, we retired about 200 yards out of the rantre
of the gun boats, and were subsequently ordered to take a position
near the Fort, where we bivouacked for the night, and to-day,
January 2d, recrossed the Coosaw and reached our encampment at
Beaufort at 5 o'clock p. m. Although the whole of my command
were within range of the enemy's cannon for a half hour, and a
portion of them within one hundred yards of a detachment of his
14 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
(the enemy's) infantry, and for sometime sustained a heavy fire, I
have no killed to report, and none wounded, save M. Werdenham-
mer, of Company "E," a slight wound in the right foot; and En-
sign Herbert, slighty wounded in the leg by a spent piece of shell.
A piece of shell also struck the flagstaff in the Ensign's hand.
I cannot close this report without expressing my decided appro-
bation of the conduct of both officers and men of my command —
to the officers, for anticipating almost every order, thereby render-
ing my portion of the work comparatively easy; and to the men,
for their strict attention and prompt compliance with every com-
mand. All of which is respectfully submitted.

the command of Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz.
On the night of February 10th and 11th, 1862, Captain Dimock

with which the duties of the advanced posts have been discharged
by your command, and to return his special thanks to Captain
Dimock, Lieutenant Foot and their men, for their very gallant

in command of four companies of the Seventy-ninth Highlanders,
will move at one o'clock and report to you for duty. They are
sent as a reserve and to be in readiness in the event, the work
should prove more serious than is now apprehended. You have
undoubtedly looked well to the -position qf the Battery to cover
your recon noissanct1, and have your owu troops in hand to act.
Each detail should be thoroughly studied. The troops of your
own regiment you have assigned to the work as well as the com-
mand of Captain Elliott should be kept close in hand to be ready
for any emergency. The enemy cannot be permitted to construct
works on the site of the old fort, nor can we permit them to
post pickets there. You will prevent both. I send to you my

Sir: — I have the pleasure of reporting the complete success of
our enterprise without the loss of a single man. I will give the
details this evening, for the present will content myself with say-
ing that all my arrangements made, I crossed with one hundred
and fifty men at five o'clock, and entered the fort on a double
quick, the enemy firing two shots as we approached, and then re-
treating so precipitately as to leave behind a large Colt's revolver
and a double barreled shot gun. I examined the work carefully
and found the fort more delapidated than I supposed, and nothing-
new in it but a picket cover in which a fire was blazing, and which
18 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
gleaming through the crevices, undoubtedly created upon the mind
of Captain Parker, the impression of shifting lights and work
being done in the fort at night. Destroying the picket house and
leaving behind our card in the following communication, which I
had previously prepared :
"To the Confederate Forces: — We have visited you this morning for
the purpose of ascertaining the condition of our fort, which we have somewhat
neglected since January 1st. Hoping you may be pleased to reciprocate, and
pledging ourselves to give you a warm reception.
We are,
UNITED STATES FORCES."
We embarked and proceeded toward Seabrook, touched at
Stewarts, the house we shelled the other day. The enemy's pickets
leaving just in time to avoid capture. We fired the house and all
the out-houses, then made for Seabrook where we arrived well sat-
isfied with our morning's adventures, and hoping you will approve
of our acts,
I am with great respect,
Your obedient servant,

Capt. Stevens,
A. A. Gen'l, Second Brigade.
Sir: — In pursuance of a desire expressed by the General to be
acquainted with the condition of things in the fort at Port Royal
Ferry, and particularly to learn whether the rebels had mounted,
or were preparing to mount cannon there. I determined* to cross
with a force sufficient to overcome the resistance the enemy was ex-
pected to make, to penetrate into the fort and either to destroy or
bring off the guns which it was thought the enemy might have
placed in position there.
To avoid giving them any intimation of the project, I had the
flats brought up from Seabrook (by Captain Bolenins) at high tide
last night, and being]enabled to keep close to our shore. I believe

they were brought to the terry and there moored without the ob-
servation of the enemy. Fifteen men from Company "A," armed
with Springfield rifles, were detailed to skirmish as far as the nature
of the ground would permit, and to draw the enemy's fire. Fifty
men of Captain Parker's command, led by himself, formed the
attacking party \ and fifty men from these head-quarters, under
Captains Herman and Telford, constituted the support. Fifty,
from Camp Stevens, under Lieutenant Huntzinger, composed the
reserve, who were ordered to draw up in company line along the
causeway, intermediate between the ferry and the fort, to cover our
retreat, and to this end, a section of Hamilton's Battery, under
Lieutenant Gittings, had taken position along the bank of the
river, to the left of the ferry, screened from observation. Captain
Elliott was instructed to take position at the beginning of the cause-
way, and as soon as could do so without danger from the enemy's
Artillery to advance his command to the ferry, in order to make as
great a show of strength as possible.
At five o'clock precisely, the movement began. I crossed with
the first boat containing the skirmishers and Captain Parker's
Company, the other boats following up. The skirmishers immedi-
ately advanced upon the fort, and were closely followed by Captain
Parker's Company, moving at a double quick. Captain Herman's
command following at the same gait. The reserve had just crossed
when the skirmishers entered the fort, the enemy retiring as I de-
scribed in my report of this morning.
The conduct of the troops engaged in this affair gave me much
satisfaction, and impressed me with the belief, that had the enemy
resisted they would have carried out my instructions and taken the
fort at all hazards. A determined resistance was calculated upon in
the arrangements of my plans, and it was with pleasure, therefore,
that I received from you the apprisal that four Companies of the
Highlanders, under Captain Elliott, were placed under my com-
mand as a reserve, as I had withdrawn from my command all I
could spare without sensibly weakening the different posts.
I am with respect,
Yours truly,
(Signed,) THOS. S. BRENHOLTZ,

Your obedient servant,
(Signed,) HAZARD STEVENS,
Capt & A. A. G.
Colonel Christ, having been ordered to move upon the main
land and burn the railroad bridge at Pocotaligo, proceeded on the
29th of May, 1862, to carry out his instructions, but with what
success, will appear from the following official report :
Beaufort, S. C, May 30th, 1862.
Capt. Hazard Stevens,
A. A. G.
Sir: — In pursuance to order, I left Beaufort at 10 J o'clock on
the evening of the 28th, with a portion of my regiment, one com-
pany of the Eighth Michigan Volunteers, (Captain Doyle); and
one company of the Seventy-ninth New York Volunteers, (Cap-
tain Elliott.) Numbering in all about six hundred men, and pro-
ceeded to Port Royal Ferry. We succeeded in getting on the
main land by day light (29th), and immediately took up my line
of march for Pocotaligo, via Gardner's Corner. About two miles
from the ferry, we commenced driving in the enemy's pickets, and
did so three times, before we reached Gardner's Corner. At this
point, I left Company "E," (Lieutenant Lantz commanding), and
at this point also, Major Higginson, (First Massachusetts Cavalry)
reported to me with eighty men and horses. I again took up my
line of march for Pocotaligo, via the Shelden road, and save the
driving in of the enemy's pickets several times, which caused us
considerable delay, we reached Pocotaligo without further interrup-
tion. Here the enemy had chosen a most favorable position, and
here we suffered the casualties (which I will mention hereafter), in
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 21
a successful effort to dislodge him. As you reached Pocotaligo,
you do so over a causeway about a quarter of a mile in length,
flanked on either side by ;i marsh and through which passes a
stream. (About eighty yards from the end of the causeway), over
this stream was a bridge, about fifteen feet wide, which the enemy
had so far destroyed as to make it impassable, save, by passing
over the string pieces, (about six inches wide). On the opposite
side of the march from Pocotaligo there is a narrow strip of wood.
Through this we skirmished and then ascertained that the enemy
was posted under cover of trees and ditches, within good rifle range
•on either side of the causeway. Some smart firing now ensued
with little effect on either side. It, however, became evident, that
in order to dislodge the enemy, we must have nearer range for our
arms. The lamented Captain Parker volunteered to take his com-
pany across the stream, on the string pieces, and let them drop into
a ditch on our right, where they would partially be under cover.
This movement was successful. After some considerable time, I
succeeded in passing about three hundred men, under command of
Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz, who gradually approached the op-
posite side of the marsh, and succeeded in dislodging the enemy on
our right, which was followed by a charge on the left, when the
enemy commenced a rapid retreat to the wood. As soon as it could
be done, I had the bridge relaid and immediately ordered the
Cavalry in pursuit; but the enemy having taken refuge in a wood
where Cavalry could not operate successfully, 1 had to pursue him
with Infantry ; but, unfortunately, the men were so jaded and
worn out with their long march (of some '24 miles), that they could
not pursue him as rapidly as he retreated. At this time, Lieu-
tenant Cam, on, with a section of the Conn-Battery, reported him-
self, having just arrived on the ground. In my judgment, if the
Artillery had been on the ground when the action commenced, we
could have dislodged the enemy in a very short time, and pro-
ceeded to accomplish the object of the expedition; but the action
itself lasted nearly two hours, and by the time I could recall the
companies in pursuit of the retreating enemy, and again get ready
to move, more than three hours had elapsed, besides the men had
so much reduced their ammunition, that I was not willing to risk
another engagement, which I had every reason to believe, awaited
22 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
me at the railroad, to where the enemy had retreated, and as I had
been informed by the negroes, where they were sure to meet rein-
forcements from McPhersonville and Grahamsville. And subse-
quent information has proven that I was correct, and that I would
have had to encounter an overwhelming force of Infantry rein-
forcements, from Grahamsville, with three pieces of Artillery.
In view of the positive orders I had received to retreat to Port
Royal Island during the night, and to avoid, if possible, bringing
on a general engagement, and with reduced ammunition, I deemed
it prudent to retire, and accordingly arrived at Port Royal Ferry
at eleven o'clock p. m.
Small detachments of the enemy's Cavalry followed us as far as
Gardner's Corner, where the outer pickets of Company " E" repulsed
them by unhorseing two or three of their number. At Gardner's
Corner, I met a detachment of the Eighth Michigan Volunteers,
under Lieutenant Colonel Graves, and a detachment of the Seventy-
ninth New York Volunteers, under command of Captain Moore,
who had been ordered out as a reserve.
As soon as we arrived at the ferry, I immediately commenced to
cross over, and by three o'clock (this morning), the entire force was
on this side the Coosa w River.
Our loss during the engagement was two killed and nine wounded,
for details of which I respectfully refer you to the accompanying
report of Doctor Siemon, (Regiment Surgeon). What the enemy's
loss is I am unable to say, but from all I can learn it has been
much greater than ours. We captured two prisoners, one of which
I have already sent to head-quarters; and the other is in the Hos-
pital wounded. It is also difficult to state the force of the enemy,
but it could not have been less than from six to eight hundred.
There were six companies of Mounted Riflemen, besides Infantry,
among which were a considerable number of colored men.
Among the killed is Captain Chas. H. Parker, Company " H,"
Fiftieth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, who fell while gal-
lantly cheering his men to duty.
I cannot speak too highly of the good conduce of both officers
and men under my command, they proved themselves soldiers, not
only in name, but in deed.

Lieutenant Henry S. Rush, of Company "B," was wounded by
the accidental discharge of his own revolver.
During the burial ceremony of Captain Chas. Parker, General
Isaac I. Stevens took occasion to compliment the regiment for its
heroic conduct during the engagement.
Scouting parties were frequently sent across the Coosaw River to
destroy rebel property and ascertain the enemy's strength, which
often resulted in daring exploits. On the 3d of February, 1862,
Seth Milnus, of Company "D," was wounded during one of these
reconnoissances.
24 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
May 31st, 1862, all the troops were sent to the Edisto, except
the Fiftieth Regiment, one company of Cavalry, and one section of
Artillery, who were left under the command of Colonel B.-C. Christ
to guard the island.
Everything- went along very nicely until the morning of June
7th, when the enemy made an attack on our picket posts along the
Coosaw River. A cavalryman stationed at the reserve head-quar-
ters, dashed into town reporting to Colonel Christ that the enemy
had crossed the river in force, captured our pickets and were ad-
vancing toward the town. Every civilian and available negro was
now ordered out to throw up temporary earthworks, about half a
mile beyond the town on the Shell road, while the few troops
which had been left in camp were hurried to the front. To add to
the excitement, the following men were brought in wounded:
Douglass Towner, Henry Scott, Simon Russel, of Company "G,"
and Harrison Fry, of Company " H," who were on picket at the
ferry, where the enemy made a slight effort to cross. By three
o'clock in the afternoon, the troops returned to camp without having
seen the enemy.
Again on the morning of June 21st, the enemy endeavored to
capture our picket stationed on the point near the Brick Yard, on
the Coosaw River. This point extended quite a distance out into the
water, and afforded an attacking party every opportunity to get in
the rear of the picket and thus cut off retreat. Here three men
were stationed, and in endeavoring to make their way back to the
reserve, Christian Hartman, of Company " E," fell pierced by three
rebel bayonets. The rebels having killed Hartman, hurried back
to their boats and recrossed the river beyond the reach of our rifle
balls.
Lieutenant B. R. Lyons, of Company "D," having been detailed
on General I. I. Stevens' Staff, accompanied the General to the
Edisto River, and during the engagement on James Island was
wounded.

CHAPTER III.
Army of the Potomac.
July 10th, 1862, the regiment left its pleasant camp at Beaufort,
South Carolina, and proceeded north, arriving at Newport News,
Ya., on the 12th, where it encamped, and was assigned to the
Second Brigade, First Division, Ninth Army Corps. Its Colonel,
B. C. Christ, having been appointed Brigade Commander.
Company and regimental drills were constantly kept up until
the 28th, when it was put on board the U. S. Transport Merrimac,
and conveyed to Aquia Creek, Va., where it arrived on the 30th.
Taking cars immediately for Falmouth, here it encamped until
August 2d, when it was transferred to the opposite side of the river,
and encamped on St. Mary's Heights.
On the 13th, it broke camp north of Fredericksburg, at five
o'clock in the morning, marched through the town and crossed the
Rappahannock below the railroad, and filed left up the river through
the old town of Falmouth, and on to Culpepper Court House;
thence to Raccoon Ford on the Rapidan, where we laid until Sun-
day night, (the 17th,) then very quickly pulled out and fell back to
the Rappahannock River.
Every day now seemed to have some slight skirmish in store for
our forces, many of which the regiment participated in. The
duties performed by the regiment were arduous, especially so at
Kelly's Ford on the Rappahannock, where Companies "D"and
"H"were cut off, and at one time entirely surrounded by the
enemy, however, through the careful management of Captain
G. Z. Dimock, who commanded the detachment, they succeeded in
regaining our lines and joined the regiment after nearly a week's
absence.
As the regiment passed Manassas Junction, on the 28th of
August, every man seemed to feel, as he looked upon the forms of
the dead rebels laying here and there, that the time for action had
come. Passing along one of the elevations adjacent to Bull Run,
26 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
the contest at Gainesville could be distinctly seen. The roar of
musketry, together with the flash of fire from the cannon's mouth,
made impressions that can never be erased from the memory of
those beholding the scene.
Looking down upon the contest going on in the valley, and re-
alizing that in a few hours at most the regiment would have to
take part, seemed to fire every heart with a patriotism that knew
no danger. Entering the engagement with the Drum Corps play-
ing the tune, "The Red, White and Blue," the men took up the
words and sang it with a heartiness that seemed to steel every
heart, and strengthen every nerve for the conflict.
The day ended with the following casualties :
Killed:
Jerry Boles, Corporal, Company K.
Wounded :
Ira A. Tompkins, Private, Company G.
August 29th, the regiment again entered the battle. The con-
test being severe, the regiment lost:

A. P. Hill, thus describes the fight towards evening: "The evi-
dent intention of the enemy was to turn our left, and overwhelm
Jackson's Corps before Longstreet came up; and to accomplish
this, the most persistent and furious onsets were made by column
after column of Infantry, accompanied by numerous batteries of
Artillery. The enemy prepared for a last and determined attempt.
Their serried masses, overwhelming superiority of numbers, and
bold bearing made the chance of victory tremble in the balance."
(The troops immediately in front of Hill's Division, of Jackson's
Corps, being Hooker, Kearney and Reno. The Fiftieth composed
part of Reno's command.
August 30th, the regiment was temporarily attached to Schurz
Division, of Siegel Corps.
Jackson says of the engagement, this day: "About four o'clock,
the Federal Infantry moved from under the cover of the wood,
and advanced in several lines, first engaging the right; but soon
extending the attack to the centre and left. In a few moments our
entire line was engaged in a fierce and sanguinary struggle with
the enemy. As one line was repulsed, another took its place, and
pressed forward as if determined, by force of numbers and fury of
assault, to drive us from our positions. So impetuous and well
28 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
sustained were these onsets as to induce me to send to the Com-
manding General for re-enforcements."
Outnumbered and outflanked, Reno and Heitelman were falling
back before the tierce onsets of Jackson's advance, hence at a late
hour on the evening of the 30th, the regiment marched from the
field with as much composure as from a drill ground.
Its losses during this day's engagement, were:

On the 31st, a heavy storm set in; hut Jackson was pushed for-
ward toward Fairfax to turn the Union right, and Pope sent
McDowell, Heintzelman and Reno in that direction, intending to
attack on the morning of the 2d of September. But the heads of
the two forces came in contact just before dark on the 1st, at Ox
Hill, near Chantilly. Stevens' Brigade, of Reno's Corps, being in
the advance, was first attacked. The Fiftieth Regiment, being-
part of Stevens' Brigade, was one of the first regiments engaged.
During the engagement, rain descended in a deluge, the thunder
was deafening, the lightning was blinding, yet these were surpassed
by the more destructive fury and vengeance of the human com-
batants.

After the engagement at Chantilly, it proceeded with the other
troops, through the mud knee deep, to Fairfax Court House, where
it arrived about four o'clock in the morning of the 2nd. Resting
here until daylight, when the line of march was again taken up,
arriving at Alexandria about four p. m., where it rested for a few
days and then proceeded to Washington City.
During the different engagements from the time the regiment left
Culpepper, it acted with great coolness, and invariably drove the
enemy at every point. When other regiments went rushing to the
rear pell mell, it stood fast until marched off by its Commander.
General Burnsides, in his report of the engagement at Chantilly,
speaks of General I. I. Stevens' Brigade in the most flattering
terms.
Many interesting scenes and incidents occurred during the cam-
paign just ended.
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 31
On the first morninerafter leavingcampat Fredericksburg, the regi-
ment halted in a stubble field with the wheat shocks still unstacked.
The boys, in order to quicken their fires for boiling their coffee, ap-
propriated the sheaves of wheat. Genera] Stevens was so much
provoked at this destruction of private property, that he ordered
Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz under arrest,for allowing the boys to
do so wicked a thing. The General thought that the rebellion
could be j)iit down without hurting the rebels, had he lived another
year he would have learned better.
The battle field often presents incidents ridiculous as well as sub-
lime. At Bull Run, while the fight was most severed own along
the old railroad, two men from "A," forgetting the danger of rebel
bullets, laid down their muskets and settled a little difficulty by
pummeling each other with their fists.
32 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
CHAPTER IV.
Maryland Campaign.
After arriving; at Washington, the Fiftieth Regiment was placed
in the First Brigade, First Division, Ninth Army Corps, with
Colonel Christ, Commanding the Brigade.
General O. B. Wilcox, Commanding the Division, General J. L.
Reno, Commanding the Corps, and A. E. Bnrnsides, Commanding
the right wing of the Army of the Potomac
On the 3d of September, with the Ninth Corps, the Regiment
moved out on the Seventh Street Road and encamped just outside
of the line of the defences of Washington, where it remained for
several days, and then with the right wing of the Army of the Po-
tomac, marched on to Frederick City and took active part in the
battles of South Mountain and Antietam.
One of the first scenes recalled by the battle of South Mountain,
Md., (September 14th, 1862,) is the knapsacks of the "Kanawha
Division" (Coxe's,) strewn along the side of the road just before
entering Frederick City, Md., where they had been cast aside, as
they were ordered "Forward, double-quick" to enter the fight.
Then marching down the turnpike toward the mountain, with now
and again a rebel shell bursting immediately overhead, as much as
to say "Come on Yanks, we are ready for you." Then filing to the
left we ascend the mountain slope, and as each man intuitively
realizes the situation, he examines his musket, and sends home a
cartridge to be ready for action.
The next thing, amid the shrieking of the bursting shells, there
comes rushing down the mountain side a confused mass of men, with
blanched faces, terror depicted upon their very countenances, noth-
ing could stop them. Old soldiers only know how trying it is to
be marched into a place which others have tried to hold, and could
not, especially when the party driven out are known to be brave
and true; and by deeds of heroism and valor, in former engage-
ments had acquired a reputation to be envied.
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 33
The Fiftieth Regiment never refused to go where it was ordered,
hence through beholding the Eighth Michigan in utter rout, and
though it seemed like marching into the very jaws of death, it took
the position pointed out by General Wilcox, and held it, notwith-
standing all the time subjected to that most terribly dreaded fire —
an enfilading artillery lire, and whilst undergoing that trying or-
deal, it seemed as though the men were bound one to the other, arm
in arm, and shoulder to shoulder.
Looking to the left, litrle coils of smoke arising indicated that
the contents of the rebel artillery were starting on their mission of
intended destruction, as one man, the regiment fell prostrate upon
the ground, only to rise up again with the same mechanical pre-
cision when the missile had passed by, and so time and again the
action was repeated. It was the cool self-possession of the regi-
ment and its uniformity of action that saved it from annihilation.
The conduct of the Fiftieth on this occasion may have been
equaled by other regiments, but surpassed by none. It stood there
enduring a galling artillery fire, without being able to return a shot.
It simply stood as a mark for the enemy's cannon, drawing and at-
tracting their fire, and not moving from its position until other
parts of the division had formed and charged upon the battery and
captured it. This action was appreciated and recognized by Gen-
eral Wilcox, then and there, and by his order was sent to a position
considered equally hazardous — that of protecting the left flank of
the army. In this new and responsible position it showed too that
it was worthy of the trust confided to it. The Commander of the
Ten Pound Battery, sent with the Fiftieth to defend the flank, was
not disposed to be idle while the battle was going on, so he trained
one of his pieces, as he thought in about the right direction, and
occasionally sent his compliments to the rebels in the shape of a
ten-pound shell, the sequel showed that he had judged rightly, for
about the middle of the afternoon a special delegation of two or
three thousand rebels formed for the purpose of capturing the bat-
tery and thus retaliate for the damage done them. They doubtless
started upon their undertaking confident of success, but they were
doomed to disappointment, for that battery was supported by, and
entrusted to the care of a regiment that was not to be caught nap-
ping. One of the skirmishers, (Private Geo. Bogardus,) of Com-
34 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
pany " H," looking clown along the rows of standing corn, saw a
rebel laving down behind the fence on the far side of the corn field.
Information of this fact was at once communicated to the Battery
Commander and Major Overton. In less than half an hour after
this, the enemy could be distinctly seen quietly marching into posi-
tion on the other side of the corn field. Realizing that the enemy
were forming for a charge, word was again quickly sent to the Bat-
tery Commander, who dispatched an orderly on horse to urge for-
ward, with all possible dispatch, reinforcements, and in the mean-
time training his four guns, opened upon the corn field. Major
Overton had barely time to swing the Fiftieth into line to receive
the charge, when the rebel yell rang out upon the air. Just at this
moment the head of the column of reinforcements arrived, and be-
fore they had proper time to form into line the rebels were charging
upon the battery. The charge was a determined one, but the triple
charges of grape and canister from those four guns and a terrific
fire from the infantry, at short range sent the rebel column pre-
cipitatly from the field, leaving several hundred dead and wounded
behind.
Judging by the loss sustained by the regiment in the engage-
ment of September 14th, (South Mountain,) it might be supposed
that it did very little service. Not a single man was killed, and
only two wounded, viz: Privates — Henry Kline, of Company "E,"
and Partial Kennedy, of Company "K."
But the efficiency or hard work which a regiment has done is not
always to be judged of by the loss it sustained. If an object can
be attained, or a position regained without the loss of a man, it is
all the more credita Ae to those who accomplished it.
Col. Overton says: "When under Cox we were in this position:
The movements of the rebels toward our
left was reported to me by the skirmishers
in our immediate front, then by those at the
45° angle, and then by those in front of the
flankers. I put the regiment in the rear of
the battery and reported to Cox what I had done. He sent me
word that a regiment was coming to our assistance, and not to
draw the enemy's fire if I could avoid it till our support arrived.
In the meantime the rebel brigade lay in our front, not knowing
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 35
that they were discovered. As soon as we were ready, by my
orders, the skirmishers tired and fell back to the regimeut.
General Cox said to me that day that we had tFie most important
position in the army, and afterwards highly complimented the regi-
ment for its service.
I was present when a staff officer came to Wilcox, saying Cox
was hard pressed and wanted two regiments immediately. Wilcox
turned to me and said, take the Fiftieth over, it is better than two
ordinary regiments."
In the afternoon of the loth, the regiment, with other troops of
the Ninth Corps, after having assisted in burying the dead, were
marched over what is known as the Rohrersville and Sharpsburg
Road toward the Antietam Creek. On the night of the 16th it was
placed on picket, occupying a position on the extreme left front, and
on the morning of the 17th had a fine view of the battle, though
nearly four miles away. Returning to the brigade during the
morning, it crossed the stone bridge, (Burnside's Bridge) and filed
to the right, inarching to the crest of the hill where it formed ready
for action. Prostrated upon the ground at the crest of the hill,
we endured a severe tire from the enemy's artillery. In about
half an hour after forming, the command forward was given,
though tired and exhausted, having been on picket duty all night,
it entered the fight with the greatest alacrity and enthusiasm, charg-
ing upon and driving the enemy from his position. The time en-
gaged was short, but during that time its loss was:

The regiment assisted, on the 18th, in burying the dead and
caring for the wounded. On the 19th it marched to the Antietam
[ron Works, where it encamped for a short time, then passing into
Pleasant Valley, it was transferred to the Secoi d Brigade, Firs!
Division of the Ninth Army Corps, and sent to Point of Rocks,
Md., where it did picket duty for about two weeks. During our
stay at Point of Rocks we feasted on fresh fish, which were caught
in great abundance.

On the 28th of October, 1862, Col. Brenholtz says, in a letter to
his wife: "We have only four Captains with the regiment; some
companies are without commission office. The effective strength of
the regiment is very small, some companies cannot raise more than
fifteen men. The entire number being less than three hundred men.
General McClellan having decided to move his army across the
Potomac, and either compel the enemy to give battle near Win-
chester or retreat toward Richmond. On the 29th of October,
1862, the regiment forded the river at Point of Rocks. Notwith-
standing, the water was about three feet deep, and the weather
cold and disagreeable, we waded the water. Passing on to Water-
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 39
lord, Va., we halted for a few days, then proceeded to Gaskins'
Mills, where another short halt was made. Owing to some trouble
with the arrangements tor transporting the commissary stores, pro-
visions ran short, hence this place was named "Camp Starvation."
Alter passing through Ricketstown, Salem, White Sulphur Springs
and Rappahannock Station, the regiment was placed on duty as rear
guard of the army, and continued in that position until it arrived
at Falmouth.
General Burnsides having been placed in command of the Army
of the Potomac, concentrated his forces in front of Fredericksburg,
preparatory to attacking the enemy at that point, hence on the 13th
of December we crossed the Pontoon Bridge immediately in front
of Fredericksburg, and were placed on the extreme left of the cen-
tre division. In our immediate front very little fighting was done.
The regiment, however, did good service, as the connecting link
between the left wing and centre of the army, ready to execute any
order that might be issued by the Commander.
On the night of the 15th it was withdrawn to the opposite side
of the river, and went back to its former camping ground.
The only casualty reported, was the wounding of Milo Spencer,
private, of Company "D."
February 13th, 1863, we were sent to Newport News, Va., via
Aquia Creek. While at Newport News, through the efforts of
Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz, each man was provided with a short
jacket, light blue pantaloons and white gloves. Orders were then
i>sued forbidding any one to appear on dress parade without his
full uniform, including white gloves and blacked shoes. At this
time there was no finer looking or better drilled regiment in the
corps. Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz felt proud of his regiment,
and took great pains to have it appear to good advantage on all
public occasions, hence on the 17th of March he issued an order
forbidding any one to appear on either Regimental or Brigade
drill without his new suit of clothing on. During the month spent
at Newport News the time was almost constantly employed in drill-
ing, during which the regiment attracted much attention by its
precision and uniformity in executing the commands.
March 22d, 1863, it was put on board the steamboat "Coroner,"
preparatory to a new scene of action.
40 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
CHAPTER V.
Department of the Ohio.
On the 22d of March, 1863, we were sent with the Ninth Corps
to the Department of Ohio, via Baltimore, Md., and Parkersburg,
Va., arriving at Covington, Ivy., early in the morning of the 27th.
The trip from Newport News to Baltimore being by boat, thence
to Parkersburg by rail, then down the Ohio to Cincinnati. All
along the route the troops were treated very kindly. Hot coffee
and fresh bread were issued to the regiment at Cumberland, Md.,
and Grafton, Va. After taking dinner at Cincinnati on the 27th,
we proceeded to Nicholasville, Ky., where we arrived next morn-
ing, and then marched to Camp Dick Robinson, where we en-
camped until April 12th, when we moved to Stanford, here we re-
mained until the 3(Jth, and then moved to Ustanville. May 5th
we crossed the mountains and then encamped near Summerset.
One remarkable fact was greatly appreciated by the regiment.
The venders of butter, eggs, pies, &c, were either honest or had
not learned the trick of charging soldiers extra high prices for
everything. In comparison to the custom in Washington, Balti-
more and other points passed in its travels, the people seemed to
have souls, except in the item of pies. The prices were sufficiently
low to induce the fortunate possessor of cash to buy, the want of
lard, however, made their pies exceedingly tough. Eggs and chick-
ens were offered in great abundance, at reasonable prices.
June 4th we broke camp at Summerset and marched back to
Nicholasville, where we took cars and proceeded to Cincinnati, Ohio,
where we arrived on the 8th, thence were sent to Vicksburg, Mis-
sissippi. The route taken was by rail from Cincinnati to Cairo,
thence by boat down the Mississippi River to the Yazoo, then up
the Yazoo to Haines' Bluff.
When near Napolian, Ark., a party of rebels opened fire upon
the vessel, fortunately no one was hurt. Landing at Haines' Bluff
the regiment encamped about two miles from the wharf.
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 41
General Joseph E. Johnston had been assigned by the rebel au-
thorities to the work of raising the siegeof Vicksburg, by an attack
upon Grant's rear. To prevent this, the Ninth Corps, with other
troops, were posted at Haines' Bluff. The duty was more of obser-
vation than of direct contact with the enemy, hence our forces had
a fortnight of comparative quiet. Immediately after the surrender
of Vicksburg, (July 4th, 1863,) General Sherman, with the Ninth
Army Corps and other troops, started in pursuit of Johnston. The
regiment left camp toward night-fall on the 4th, and moved out
towards the Big Black River. On the 10th the corps came in con-
tact with the enemy near Jackson. The Fiftieth and Forty-sixth
New York occupied a position on the Canton road. The enemy's
defences consisted of a line of earth-work combined with the natu-
ral strength of their position, enabled them to make a decided re-
sistance to any attempt which we might make to dislodge them.
General Sherman finding the enemy so strongly posted, decided to
await the arrival of heavier artillery and supplies of ammunition.
The next few days the two armies lay watching each other. The
weather being excessively hot, we got what shelter we could from
the burning rays of the sun, in the woods that bordered our posi-
tion. " On the 16th a reconnoissance was ordered, for the purpose of
developing the enemy's position and his forces. A gallant advance
was made, during which the enemy's formidable batteries made free
use of shrapnel, canister and shell upon our troops, during which
Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz fell mortally wounded."* The esteem
in which he was held by the regiment, was feelingly manifested in
what subsequently took place. Johnston having evacuated Jack-
son, Sherman destroyed about fifteen miles of railroad and a vast
amount of other property, and then decided to return with his
army to the Big Black River; but Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz's
wound was of such a serious nature that the Medical Director de-
cided it would not do to place him in an ambulance. He might
survive if carefully carred on a stretcher upon the shoulders of four
men. Volunteers were called for and at once obtained, and the
Lieutenant Colonel was carried in that way more than forty miles,
to the rear of Vicksburg, but subsequently died while going up the
Ohio River. History seldom records incidents of greater love for
* Ninth Army Corps.
42 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
a superior officer, than was exhibited by the volunteer party, who
carried and attended Lieutenant Colonel Brenholtz from Jackson
to Milldale. Thus illustrating the fact, that, though surrounded with
the horrible realities of war, men do not necessarily loose the sense
of sympathy and love for their suffering comrades.
The regiment arrived at its old camping ground at Milldale, on
the 23d of July, where it remained until August 10th, when
we marched to Haines' Bluff and embarked on the South Wester,
bound for Cairo, Illinois, where we arrived on the 16th. Taking
cars we proceeded to Crab Orchard, Kentucky, via Cincinnati,
Ohio, and Xicholasville, Kentucky.
The campaign in Mississippi was especially severe in its effects
upon officers and men The excessive heat, the malaria that settled
like a pall of death around the camps upon the Yazoo River, the
scarcity of water and its bad quality, and the forced marches told
fearfully upon all. All the accounts of the movements agree in
their statements respecting the amount of disease and mortality
which accompanied it. The hardships, which all were obliged to
endure, were excessive. Water, which the horses refused to drink,
the men were obliged to use in making coffee. Fevers, congestive
chills, diarrhoea, and other diseases attacked the troops. Many sank
down upon the roadside, and died from sun-stroke and sheer ex-
haustion.
During the pursuit of Johnston to Jackson, orders had been
issued by the Commanding General, that the troops should subsist,
principally, from the country through which they had passed, hence
foraging parties were sent out, who succeeded in bringing in large
numbers of sheep, oxen, hams, &c. These foragers were in con-
stant danger of attack by the rebel Guerilla, who seemed to be lurk-
ing everywhere, and whenever an opportunity offered audacious
dashes would be made upon our trains. Captain Dimock, acting
as Brigade Quarter Master, was pursued one day and driven almost
into camp. On another occasion the regimental commissary team
being out gathering fresh corn, was surrounded and would in all
probability have been captured, but for a squad of our cavalry
dashing up and driving the rebels away.

edges its valuable services in the campaign just closed. Arriving
at Vicksburg, opportunely taking position to hold at bay, John-
ston's Army then threatening the forces investing the city, it was
ready and eager to assume the aggressive at any moment. After
the fall of Vicksburg it formed a part of the army, which drove
Johnston from his position near the Big Black River into his en-
trenchments at Jackson, and after a siege of eight days, compelled
him to fly in disorder from the Mississippi Valley.
The endurance, valor and general good conduct of the Ninth
Corps are admired by all, and its valuable co-operation in achiev-
ing the final triumph of the campaign is gratefully acknowledged
by the Army of the Tennessee.

CHAPTER VI.
East Tennessee Campaign.
September 10th, 1863, the regiment, with the Ninth Army
Corps, took up the line of march for Knoxville, Tennessee, via
Cumberland Gap. Less than one hundred men and officers were
all that were fit for duty. Arriving at Knoxville on the 26th, we
all thought that we would have a resting spell, but in this we were
disappointed, for we had been there scarcely a week, when we were
ordered to Blue Springs as a supporting force to a portion of the
Twenty-third Army Corps. The enemy had taken up a strong
position, and about four thousand of the Twenty-third Army Corps,
under Colonel Carter, tried to drive them for about eight hours,
and finally reported to General Burnside that they could not dis-
lodge them. The General ordered them to make way for our Di-
vision, (numbering less than three thousand men,) and we went at
them with a will, and drove them right under their batteries, and
could we have had thirty minutes more daylight, we would have
captured at least half their force. The division won quite a repu-
tation in the affair, and were complimented in general order. The
regiment had two men wounded in this engagement:
Patrick McCollough, Private, Company "C," and George De-
vinney, Musician, Company "H." The latter died from the effect
of his wound. After returning from Blue Springs we proceeded
to Louden, and then falling back to Lenior Station, we erected
winter quarters and expected a comfortable time.
On the 14th of November, General Longstreet, with a force of
twenty thousand men, crossed the Tennessee River at Hough's
Ferry, when we were hurried to the front on the extreme right,
with orders to push at once for the ferry, on the supposition that
the enemy had re-crossed the river. But pushing to the ferry on
a dark night through a dense wood occupied by the enemy, was no
easy task. After pushing out beyond our advance pickets about
one hundred yards, we threw out skirmishers to cover our front,
46 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
and then deployed in line of battle. The skirmishers were then
ordered to move forward cautiously, and if challenged or fired
upon, not to reply, but to seek, cover, and if possible, hold their
position. We had not moved over one hundred yards, when the
whole line was almost simultaneously challenged, of course we
came to a halt. Orders having been received not to attack, but
hold our position until daylight, which we did. Our skirmishers
and the enemy's were not over forty yards, apart, They were so
close that a rebel lieutenant and several men took our line for theirs,
and were taken prisoners. During the night it rained and stormed,
and, notwithstanding the weather was very cold, we had to do
without fires or tents. The regiment was ordered to charge at day-
light, but before that time the whole programme was changed
for wise and prudential reasons, hence we fell back to Lenior and
assisted in holding the enemy in check, during which time we were
obliged to burn large quantities of stores, &c, among which were
the books and papers of the regiment. It now became a matter of
some consequence as to who should reach Campbell Station first,
a point where the Kingston Road intersects with the Louden
Road. The race was an exciting one. " Colonel Hartranft, with his
division, was only fifteen minutes in advance of the enemy."* Here
the decisive battle of the campaign was fought. The enemy more
than doubled Burnside's forces, and yet we held them in check for
seven hours. The Fiftieth was in the front on the right for four
hours, and sustained a heavy artillery fire at short range over half
an hour. Colonel Christ says: "A portion of the Twenty-third
Corps, on my left broke, but rallied again and came up very nearly
to their former line, my men did not waver, although I was obliged
to change position three times, in order to prevent a flank move-
ment on the part of the enemy." When we finally retired it was
under a combined infantry and artillery fire, over an open plain for
about four hundred yards before we could get cover. Mr. Wood-
bury, in his history of the Ninth Army Corps, says : "The attack
commenced about 12 o'clock, by a furious charge upon our right,
where Colonel Christ's brigade had been posted. The rebels came
on in columns of attack, hoping to crush in our right flank by the
momentum of their assault, Our lines wavered a little, Colonel
* Ninth Army Corps.
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 47
Christ rapidly changed front, and though his brigade was some-
what attenuated, it could not be broken. The desperate charge of
the rebel host were handsomely and successfully repulsed. Never
did troops manouvre so beautifully and with such precision. The
conduct of the officers and men was beyond all praise, and the
battle of Campbell's Station will always be proudly remembered by
those of our troops who were fortunate enough to participate in its
scenes."
We arrived at Knoxville after a tedious night march, at three
o'clock on tin; morning of the 17th, having been marching and
fighting without sleep from the 14th. AVe now took a rest until
about nine o'clock, when we went into position and commenced
digging rifle pits. For the first day or two, work could be done
by daylight, but after that every thing had to be done at night.
In our immediate front the enemy were within speaking distance,
and it was utterly unsafe for any one to sho.w his head above the
rifle pits. The greater the danger the more reckless every one
seemed to grow. Soon rations were cut down one-half, and then
one-forth. Thus for eighteen days the troops patiently and he-
roically endured the privations of the siege.
On the 29th of November, at early dawn, the enemy charged on
Fort Sanders; the Fiftieth held position just to the right of the
fort, a small detail of the regiment was sent to assist the garrison
in repelling the charge. The attack was made with great impetu-
osity, and sustained with inflinching valor, but was repulsed with
terrible slaughter. "The anxiety attending the siege was keenly
visible on all countenances, but one could plainly discern the de-
termination of holding out to the bitter end. This feeling all pos-
sessed ; not a man in the trenches but said we would hold our posi-
tion. All seemed to share our noble commanders idea, "If Grant
can destroy Bragg it of no great consequence what becomes of our-
selves." Longstreet finding it unsafe for him to remain longer,
withdrew his forces during the night of 4th of December.
The casualties of the regiment during the campaign from Hough's
Ferry to the raising of the siege of Knoxville, December 5th, are :

Immediately after the siege was raised, the regiment, with the
Ninth Corps followed the enemy as far as Rutledge, then encamped
at Blains Cross Roads. Captain O. C. Bosbyshell, of the Forty-
eighth Penna., writing to the Miners' Journal, says : "Never were
troops called upon to endure greater privations and hardships."
Colonel Christ says in a letter to his son, under date of December
24th, 1863: "I assure you we have been roughing it of late, lay-
ing out night after night in the rain on the wet ground, sometimes
without fire, when it was so cold that it was impossible to sleep.
The sufferings endured while at Blaines Cross Roads and on the
march over the mountains back to Nicholasville, Ky., were equally
as great as those endured by our forefathers at Valley Forge."
Nothing could more fully exemplify the patriotism of the regi-
ment than its re-enlistment, January 1st, 1864, under the circum-
stances in which it was placed. Having been on short rations since
the siege of Knoxville, destitute of clothing, and many barefooted.
Over two hundred miles from his base of supplies, in the middle of
winter, constantly harrassed by the enemy, neither General Burn-
side nor the Government could be blamed for this condition of af-
fairs, hence the great question after re-enlistment, was, how to put
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 49
the men in a condition to inarch back to Nicholasville, Ky., the
snow being about six inches deep and the weather extremely cold.
To protect the feet of the shoeless on the homeward march, shoes
were made from raw hides, many of these, however, had to be
abandoned during the first day's inarch. The heat from within
and the melting snow made them stretch, so as to be almost
useless, hence many threw them away, and wrapped their feet with
such clothing as could be spared. To add to our distress we were
nearly perishing with hunger. The weather, part of the time, was
so cold that the thermometer registered zero.
When we arrived at Mount Vernon, Ky., a store was found
with a good supply of shoes on hand. Arrangements were made
with the proprietor to furnish all the shoes required. After our
arrival at Camp Nelson, (at Nicholasville, Ky.,) the regiment was
supplied with new clothing, blankets, provisions, &c. When it was
drawn up in line preparatory to taking cars for Cincinnati, its ap-
pearance had improved wonderfully, each man having donned his
new suit. After arriving at Cincinnati, we were quartered in the
Fifth Street Market House for several days, waiting for our pay,
after which we proceeded to Harrisburg, Pa., where we arrived
February 6th. Now for the first time in all our travels by
railroad, we were treated to first-class passenger cars (from Pitts-
burg, over the Pennsylvania Railroad.) The car furnished for the
officers use was a very handsome and comfortable affair. In a few
days after our arrival at Harrisburg, each man was given a thirty-
day furlough and sent home.
After the regiment arrived at Rutledge, Tennessee, Quartermas-
ter Sergeant John S. Eckel, (acting Quartermaster,) and Com-
missary Sergeant Lewis Crater were ordered by Colonel Christ to
proceed to Buffalo Creek, with instructions to take charge of two
mills there, and put the mills to work grinding rebel wheat, and
when a wagon load was ground to send it to camp. After having
taken possession, Eckel remained at one mill and Crater at the
other. When about half a ton of flour had been ground at Eckel's
mill, an officer of some Western regiment came along with a squad
of men and ordered him away. On refusing to comply, the men
were ordered to take possession, and Eckel placed under guard until
all the flour ground was loaded on their wagon and taken away
50 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
The entire brigade received a portion of the flour secured at the
other mill.
On the march from Knoxville to Rutledge, everything in the
eatable line was looked upon only to be coveted. Notwithstanding,
the troops were terribly in want of food, very little stealing was done
Most of the men had a little money, hence where provisions, &c.
were offered at reasonable prices, very few of the men acted dis-
honestly. As an evidence of the vorocious appetites engendered by
the siege, five men, connected with the commissiary department,
purchased three large geese and about half a peck of corn meal.
The geese and corn meal were all cooked and eaten at one meal.
The day before Christmas, (Dec. 24th, 1863,) a report reached
camp that a supply train had reached Corps headquarters; all were
anxiously wishing for the morning, when it was expected that pro-
visions would be issued. Four men from Company "C," however,
were impatient and determined to proceed to headquarters, hoping
that the sight of " hard tack" might do them good. Though the
night was dark and rain falling rapidly, they soon found that the
coveted provisions had been placed in a large tent, and a guard
placed inside. The guard, however, had laid down and was sound
asleep just inside the tent. One of the men stepped over the guard
and carried out four boxes of hard bread, which they carried to
camp. Company "C" had a good Christmas dinner, the balance
of the regiment, however, did not receive anything until late in the
evening, hence they had nothing to eat nearly all day.
While crossing the Wild Cat Mountain, on the march from Blains'
Cross Roads to Nicholasville, one of the baggage wagons upset,
and before it could be gotten up on the mad again and loaded,
night had set in. The men lay down upon the mountain top, on
the frozen ground, and drawing a large tarpaulin over them for
protection from the storm. During the night about four inches of
snow fell, under which the men slept comfortably.

CHAPTER VII.
Army of the Potomac.
The thirty days furlough having expired on the 8th day of March,
we rendezvoused at Camp Curtin until the 2l)th, when we were
sent to Annapolis, Md., by steamboat from Baltimore. Our camp-
ing ground at Annapolis was that occupied by the regiment in Oc-
fcober, 1861. The regiment having been recruited to the minimum
standard and fully organized and drilled, it was assigned to the.
Second Brigade, Third Division, Ninth Army Corps on the 21st
day of April, with Colonel B. C. Christ in command of the brigade.
% On the 23d of April, the Ninth Corps moved from Annapolis, and
on the 25th, it was reviewed by President Lincoln, and then en-
camped near Alexandria. On the 27th, the line of march was again
taken up, and on the 28th, we passed over the old Bull Run battle
ground, resting at Warrington Junction on the 29th and 30th.
About noon on the 5th of May, we crossed the Rapidan River at
Germanua Ford, passing on to the front near the Wilderness Tav-
ern, we formed line of battle a little before three o'clock.
We were heavily engaged on the 6th, and at one time the rebels
were around us in the form of a horse shoe, then we were double-
quicked to a part of the field where our forces were stampeding.
Our presence had the effect of infusing new energy into the disor-
dered and broken ranks. The enemy were driven backward until
our ammunition was nearly exhausted, when Lieutenant Colonel
Overton sent Sergeant J. V. Kendall back to the Brigade Com-
mander, Colonel B. C. Christ, to ask for a fresh supply of ammu-
nition, but there was none to be had. The request was made the
second time, when word was sent back, "Hold your ground at the
point of the bayonet." Colonel Overton did hold his ground, but at
the cost of seventy men killed and wounded. During the night of
the 6th, the regiment lay within fifty yards of the enemy's line. Mr.
Woodbury, in his history of the Ninth Corps, says: "Col. Hart-
ranft having found himself confronted by so strong a force as to
52 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
make further progress impracticable. He did, however, succeed in
maintaining his position close by the enemy's intrench ments, where
he was bravely supported by the brigade of Colonel Christ."
Captain S. K. Schwenk, of Company "A," in a letter to the
Miners' Journal, a few days after the engagement, says: ''The regi-
ment was engaged in the hottest of the fight at the Wilderness, and
drove the enemy in good style to his rifle pits, which he was com-
pelled to leave during the night.
Several of the historians — viz : Woodbury, Lossing, Harpers,
&c., say that the Ninth Corps did not arrive on the field until the
6th. This may be true of part of the Corps. The Third Divi-
sion, however, arrived on the field in the afternoon of the 5th.

In pursuance to an order given by General Mead to General
Burnside, to select two of his best regiments to protect the rear of
the army, in moving from the field, the Fiftieth was selected as
one of the two, and was closely followed by the enemy's cavalry.
On the 9th of May, while moving along the Fredericksburg
Road, it came upon the enemy at Ny River, and was immediately
engaged. General Wilcox's (Third) Division drove the enemy
across the river.
"Colonel Christ's brigade with Romer's and Twitchell's batteries
of artillery, was immediately thrown across the river and posted on
a slight eminence about a quarter of a mile beyond." "The bri-
gade was attacked while there by a considerable force of dis-
mounted cavalry and a brigade of infantry, during which the Fif-
tieth charged up a steep ascent and routed a force of the enemy,
greatly their superior in numbers. Mr. Woodbury says: "The
Third Division, and especially Colonel Christ's Brigade, won this
position in a very creditable manner, but at a cost of one hundred
and eighty-eight killed, wounded and missing." Though the loss
of the division was comparatively light, that sustained by the Fif-
tieth was extremely heavy in killed and wounded. The killed are :

During the engagement of May 9th, a most touching incident
took place at the hospital. Theodore Warner, of Company "D,"
having been mortally wounded, was carried by a few of his com-
rades to the field hospital. His uncle, who was a surgeon of the
Twentieth Michigan Regiment, having been called, and examined
the wound, announced the fact that life could not continue long,
and that in a few hours, at most, death would ensue. With tearful
eyes, Theodore replied, "Uncle, tell mother, I died at my post."
Soon after death threw its dark pall over his brave soul.
The Fiftieth Regiment, with the Ninth Army Corps, on the 12th
of May, 1864, encountered the enemy at Spottsylvania Court House.
The Ninth Corps occupied a position immediately on the right of
the Fredericksburg Road. In our immediate front was a thick
wood, into which we charged when the enemy succeeded in getting
upon our flank and rear, then a most desperate hand to hand conflict
took place. The bayonet and butt end of the muskets were freely
used. Sergeant James Levan, of Company "C," writing to his
brother under date of May 21st, 1864, says: " The first I knew of
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 57
our being surrounded was when I heard some one say, 'Surrender
yon Yank, its all up with you.' I looked up and saw a terrible
big officer swinging his sword over my head. It was now every
man for himself, however, I found the captain of Company "B,"
and the Lieutenant Colonel with some eight or ten men. We hail
just taken position when Captain Brumm came up with both our
nags, both Color Sergeants having been captured and the flags were
in the rebels' hands. Captain Brumm deserves great credit for re-
taking them. Just then General Wilcox saw us there and said,
4 Boys, you have done nobly,' and proposed cheers for us." Our
loss during the engagement was:

The regiment continued in its entrenchments near Spottsylvania,
until the 18th, when it moved (with the Second Brigade, Third
Division, Ninth Army Corps) about four miles farther to the left,
near the Poe River. Now the real hard work of the campaign be-
gan. Almost a continuous line of breastworks were thrown up,
from which the troops on the right were withdrawn only to con-
tinue the line farther to the left, thus night and day until June
12th, was this work continued. Captain H. A. Lantz, in a letter
to his wife, dated June 1st, says: " We are moved from three to
five times a day and night, when we throw up breastworks or dig
rifle pits, which means work, march and fight, day and night."
Though the work required of officers and men was the most ardu-
ous, it was performed without a murmur. Notwithstanding, the
regiment had lost fully three hundred and thirty men killed,
wounded and captured during the month, the very best feeling was
exhibited, from the fact that all felt that some progress was being
made, and that the end of the rebellion was prospectively drawing
near. On the 25th of May the regiment was detailed to do picket
duty, along the bank of the North Anna River, when John Reed,
of Company "C " was killed, and John Lamont, of Company "B,"
and John Mackey, Sergeant, of Company "I," were wounded."
Next morning the Fiftieth Pennsylvania, Sixtieth Ohio, First, Sec-
ond and Twentieth Michigan regiments with a battery, were left at
Ox Ford, on the north side of "the North Anna River, while the bal-
ance of the army endeavored to effect a crossing at other points.
On the 1st of June, near Bethesda Church, the rebels made an
attack upon our lines, during which Lieutenant William H. Hiney
and Corporal George W. Cake, of Company "C " were wounded.
Almost continual skirmishing was kept up on the 1st and 2d of
June. The sharp-shooters on both sides were busily employed.
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 63
The Ninth Corps having been moved from the centre to the
right, bore the brunt of the battle on that part of the field on the
third. General Wilcox's (Third) division entered the fight at an
early hour, recapturing a line of rifle pits that had been lost the
previous night. During this engagement our regiment lost four
men killed and seven wounded.
On the 7th of June, Captain Y eager, of Company "B," writing
to his mother, says : " It is now one full month since we first met
and fought the enemy, we have been under fire every day since
the 6th day of May." Picket fighting, skirmishing and shelling
were almost continual occurrences. Captain Lantz says: "When
ever we think we can lay down for an hour or two, the pickets
commence firing at each other, when we must get into our breast-
works ready for action. Mr. Woodbury, in reviewing the moments
of the five weeks ending with June 12th, says: "Almost every
hour witnessed a combat at some point. It is true, the advance
was slow, and that every mile was marked with brave blood. Posi-
tions which could not be successfully assailed without vast expendi-
ture of human life, were turned by those flank marches in the face
of an enemy, which, under the lead of unskillful men, are sure to
result disasterously, but which, when made by a man of genius, are
as successful as great battles won." In all these operations, the
Fiftieth participated in a manner to reflect honor upon its officers
and men.

When the flank movement was made in the night from Cold
Harbor, trouble was apprehended, and it was supposed the enemy
would follow us up. The Fiftieth alone was selected for the rear
guard. Fortunately we succeeded in getting out of the rifle pits
about nine o'clock p. m., without being discovered, and had no
special work to do. It was regarded, however, as an honor to be
designated for this important, and as it was then supposed, danger-
ous place.
On the loth of June, the regiment, (with the Ninth Corps,)
crossed the -James River on a pontoon bridge, above Fort Powhat-
tan, and immediately pushed on to Petersburg, where it arrived
about noon on the 16th, and formed in line of battle about four
o'clock P. M., on the extreme left. Our division, under command
of General Wilcox, was formed on the 17th, in three lines. The
Twenty-fourth New York dismounted cavalry, Forty-sixth New
York Infantry, and the Fiftieth Pennsylvania, formed the third
line. We had not advanced far before the first and second lines
wavered and gave way to the right and left, the third line, now the
first, steadily advanced until a few men of the Forty-sixth New
York, and the Fiftieth Pennsylvania, had reached, and were on
the enemy's works. The Twenty-fourth having been compelled to
66 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
fall back, the Forty-sixth and Fiftieth were recalled to the rifle
pits, which the skirmishers had occupied. By Colonel Christ's
order the Forty-sixth was then withdrawn, and the Fiftieth in-
structed to hold its position at all hazards, which order was carried
out.
Mr Woodbury says: "Colonel Christ's brigade secured a po-
sition about midway between our first position of attack and the
enemy's line. From this point all efforts of the enemy could not
push our tenacious troops. They held on in the midst of a mur-
derous fire, which sadly thinned their ranks, but could not break
their spirit." *
Mr. Lossing says: (Vol. III. page 337.) "That night the
enemy drove back the Ninth Corps." Mr. Swinton asserts the
same fact. (Page 510.) Whatever may have been done on other
parts of the line, the Third Division retained the advance position
it had gained. The Fiftieth regiment was noc moved one step
backward.
A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from the
battle field, says: "I cannot help paying a passing compliment to
the gallantry and coolness of Colonel Christ, who handled his men
in the most admirable manner. His quick eye scoured the battle
field, and where the enemy seemed the most determined, and where
our men needed assistance, he quickly despatched his regiments.
He amply redeemed the fortunes of the Third Division, and it is
to be regretted that his success was purchased at the price of a
painful wound. A bullet struck him in the side of the head just
behind the left ear, and traversed about three inches of his scull."
On the 18th the regiment was divided, Companies A, B and C,
were put under the command of Captain Yeager, and placed on
duty to protect our flank, hence that part of the regiment was not
engaged. Lieutenant Colonel Overton having recovered his health,
was in command of the regiment, and led it during the charges of
the 17th and 18th. Captain H. A. Lantz, of Company "E," was
killed during the second charge, while gallantly leading his men.
The severity of this day's engagement will be appreciated from
the fact that our brigade changed commanders three times, and
that next day, (19th of June,) it was discovered that only one hun-

68 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH EEGIMENT,
The regiment was relieved about two o'clock in the morning of
the 19th of June, and marched back a short distance from the front
into a wood where we rested until the 21st, when we were as-
signed to a position on the front line a little to the left of Burn-
side's mine, from which position we moved to the left flank on the
27th of July. About nine o'clock in the evening of the 29th, we
moved to General Warren's Head-quarters, and next morning at
three thirty we started to the front to participate in the engage-
ment subsequent to the explosion of the mine.
On the 23d of June, the " Morning Report," stood as follows :
Field Officers for duty, one — E. Overton, Lieutenant Colonel.
Captains for duty, one — George A. Yeager.
1st Lieutenants for duty, two — E. A. Wiest, Company A, and
H. Gechter, Company H.
2d Lieutenants for duty, one — Richard Rahn, Company I.
Enlisted men for duty, 178.
That the men might be more conveniently handled, the regiment
was divided into four temporary companies. From the 21st of
June to the 27th of July, we were constantly under fire, and it was
never safe for any one to show his head above the breast-works.
Notwithstanding, the utmost caution having been used, the en-
emy's sharp-shooters killed and wounded quite a number of men,
viz.:

Immediately after the explosion of Bnrnside's mine, on the
morning of .Inly 30th, we pushed forward with Wilcox's division,
until we reached the crater, but were unable to proceed any far-
ther. For several hours, with other troops of the corps, we en-
dured a most remarkable shower of shot and shell, during which
our loss was:

A-fter the engagement of the 30th, we remained in the entrench-
ments immediately in front of the crater, commonly known as the
Horse Shoe, until August 7th, when we moved back a short dis-
tance to the rear, where we received six months' wages, and then
on the 14th took position again on the front line, from there we
moved at four o'clock in the morning of August 19th, and imme-
diately marched off toward Ream's Station, on the Welden Rail-
road. Early in the afternoon we stacked arms near the Yellow
Tavern, and were told to take rations. This being the first oppor-
tunity offered after leaving the rifle pits in the morning. Rain
having fallen during the greater part of the day, and was then
falling in torrents. Some of us were soon after wood, while others
commenced building fires, and our Regimental Commissary Ser-
geant issued a ration of salt mackerel, which caused considerable
amusement among the men. Instead of putting them in pans, as
we did at home, we threw them into holes filled with rain water,
to soak. Just at this juncture the long roll was heard, and the
cry, "Fall in Men" rang along the line. Without further thought
of our mackerel, the line was quickly formed, not however without
the realization that the enemy were near. The sharp rattle of mus-
ketry, and that old familiar yell, told plainly that the enemy were
in our immedate front. Pushing from the wood, in which we had
formed, to an open plain, we could plainly see the enemy's lines
advancing, we were at once ordered to charge, and the enemy fell
back under cover of the wood.
Lossing says: "When the brigades of Wilcox and White came
up, Hill hastily withdrew.* However, not without making a des-
perate effort to hold his ground. The rifle pits built by the Fifth
Corps were in the hands of the enemy in our immediate front, and
to retake these was now the duty of our troops.
The command " Forivard, Double Quick!" having been given,
our line wavered for a minute or two, and then like a mighty wave
* Vol. III., Page 355.

of the ocean, swepf every thing before it. The rifle pits were re-
taken after a desperate hand-to-hand struggle. In our immediate
front we found the Forty-seventh Virginia Regiment, the colors of
which were captured by Sergeant Charles E. Brown, of Company
"C"* The number of prisoners captured by us considerably ex-
ceeded our own number.
That night we occupied the pits captured from the enemy. A
more uncomfortable night was rare. The pits were ful lof mud
and water, in which we were compelled to lie, in order to
keep out of the range of the enemy's constant tire. An in-
cident occurred during the night, which will never be forgot-
ten by the witnesses. Two men from Company "F," (Patrick
McManus and Samuel Winger,) were on the vidette line. By some
means Winger got beyond the line pretty far, and by a Hash of
lighting, McManus mistook him for a rebel and fired, hitting him
in the forehead. Corporal Losch, who was in command of the
line in our front, had Winger carried back of the pits and covered
with a gum blanket, thinking him dead, no further attention was
paid to him until morning, while the men were eating their break-
fast, suddenly the gum blanket raised up, and Winger asked for
coffee and hard-tack. The effect was almost like one raising from
the grave. After giving him something to eat, he was sent to the
hospital, where he afterward died. During the 20th, details of men
were sent out to slash timber, and put up a new line of earthworks
in our rear, just outside of the wood. During the night of the 20th
we leveled down the pits captured from the enemy, and then fell
back, leaving Company "C" on the picket line. On the morning
of the 21st the enemy advanced driving our line back, and had it
not been for the artillery, massed near the Yellow House, opening
fire with grape and canister, Company. "C" could not have pre-
vented being captured. Our loss during the engagement, was:

Before proceeding further, I cannot refrain from stopping to no-
tice Company " F." Very little has been said of it heretofore, not
however, because there were no brave men in its ranks, but because
the opportunity for special action had never been presented. From
the date of organization in 1861, it was always prompt and ener-
getic in the discharge of its duties, ever ready to follow where its
commander might lead. During the campaign of 1864, its losses
were proportionately greater than any other company of the regi-
ment. Entering the engagement of May 6th, (the Wilderness,)
with about fifty men. Under its brave Commander, Captain G.
W. Brumm, (who was wounded June 18th, while leading his men
in the charge on the enemy's works,) its number had so diminished
that on the 19th of August, but five men were left to enter the
battle, three of whom were killed and one wounded, leaving one
man, (Patrick McManus.)
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 73
From August 22d to September 30th, we were almost constantly
employed in building fortifications. On the 25th of August a forced
march was made toward Hatches Run, to support the Second Corps.
The engagement, however, had ended before our arrival. Dur-
ing the 26th we returned to our former camping ground. All the
men on detached service were now ordered to return to the regi-
ment, and preparations were made to muster out those who had not
re-enlisted. On the morning of September 30th, forty-six men,
and all the officers except Captain Brumm and Lieutenants Gech-
ter and Foster, were mustered out and returned home; their term
of enlistment having expired. After which we proceeded, under
command of Captain Brumm, with the Corps toward the Pegram
Farm, where we met the enemy. Our brigade occupied a position
on the extreme left of the line. The enemy's line overlapped ours,
and broke in between the Ninth and Fifth Corps, throwing Gen-
eral Potter's line in confusion, and at the same time their (the en-
emy's) cavalry charged down on our left flank, creating quite a
panic, during which several of the non-commissioned officers of the
regiment, aided very materially in restoring order.
Captain Brumm, in his report of this engagement, says: "I can-
not pass over the valor displayed by the men of our regiment.
Having but a single commissioned officer with them, being out-
flanked by the enemy, Sergeant Brown and Commissary Sergeant
L. Crater, who rallied quite a number of the men, and holding
their position until ordered back by an Aiddecamp. The greater
part of the regiment was rallied by myself, and withdrew in good
order." Our loss during this engagement, was:

The next morning, (October 1st,) we threw up earthworks, and
then on the 2d advanced about one mile, when the enemy were
found to be again in our front. After dark we fell back a short
distance, and immediately began building a line of works to pro-
tect our flank and rear. On the 4th, orders were received from
Brigade Headquarters, to be ready to move at once. Tents were
packed, and the line was about being formed, when the order was
countermanded. We then put up our tents in regular order, and
during the next fifty-six days rested in comparative idleness.

CHAPTER VIII.
Fort Stedman — Capture of Petersburg, &c.
On the 12th of October, one hundred and forty-seven men,
principally drafted men and substitutes, were assigned to the regi-
ment. There being only four Commissioned Officers with the regi-
ment, two Lieutenants of the 17th Michigan Regiment, (Knight
and Herman,) were assigned by General Wilcox to our regiment,
to assist in drilling the recruits. Hospital Steward A. H. Shaffer,
who was the only Medical Officer with the regiment after Septem-
ber 30th, was ordered to appear before a Board of Surgeons, then
in session at Harrisbnrg, Pa., hence an Assistant Surgeon of the
Eighth Michigan Regiment was temporarily assigned to our regi-
ment. The work of disciplining the recruits was vigorously carried
forward in squad, company and regimental drill, until November
29th.
On the 27th of October, while out on a reconnoitering expedi-
tion, with the brigade, on the left flank, the enemy opened lire upon
us with their artillery, and wounded the following men, viz.:
Alpheus Combs, Private, Company C.
Sam'l Schwenk, " " "
W. C. Rockwell, " " D.
E. A. Wilbur, Sergt., " I.
In order to improve the discipline of the regiment, Captain
Brurara had all the men who skulked during the reconnoisance of
October 27th, exhibited on the drill ground in rather a novel way.
Each man had a placard on his back, with the following:
" 'I am a volunteer skirmisher in the rear'. 'I skulked' — 'So
did I,' and a too.'"
Much has been said and written about the unfairness of the elec-
tion held in the army. There may have been, and no doubt were,
instances where injustice was done, and perhaps fraud, but, so far
76 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
as the writer's experience is concerned, it was conducted quietly and
much more fairly than is usual at home. It has also been asserted
that a Democrat was not allowed to vote. Of the fifty votes at the
poles (of the Fiftieth Regiment,) for Berks, Chester, Lehigh, Lan-
caster and Northumberland counties, fourteen were for George B.
McClellen, the Democratic candidate. About thirty per cent, of
the entire vote poled by our regiment, was Democratic.
Orders were issued from Brigade Headquarters on the 10th of
November, to build winter quarters, which were just completed
when we were moved to Fort McGilvery, (November 29th,) on
the banks of the Appomattox, in the immediate front of the city of
Petersburg, where we remained until the 24th of March, 1865,
when 473 recruits, (principally drafted men,) were assigned to the
regiment, and in order to drill them, we were sent to the rear.
On the 27th of November, (1864,) a lot of Second Lieutenant
Commissions were received from the Governor of the State of
Pennsylvania, for a number of the non-commissioned officers. The
numerical strength of the different companies was below the stand-
ard entitling" them to Second Lieutenants, hence the parties receiv-
ing the commissions could not be mustered. First Lieutenant
Commissions were sometime afterward received. Thus eight Ser-
geants acted as Lieutenants for about two months, without receiv-
ing proper compensation for their services.
January 1st, 1865, the Adjutant's report stood as follows, viz :

since May 12th, 1864.
Through the autumn and winter we were not called upon to do
any severe service. We were subjected to constant annoyance from
the enemy's sharp-shooters. The picket line in front of the fort,
which was guarded by the First Michigan and our own Regiment,
was constructed so as to be comparatively free from danger from
the sharp-shooters.
The great danger in the fort was from the enemy's mortar guns,
especially from one of their forts on the opposite side of the Appo-
mattox River, the guns of which were remarkably well handled.
To shelter the occupants of our fort, bombproofs were erected by
digging deep trenches in the ground, and covering them over with
logs, these were then covered with ground several feet in depth.
Whenever the enemy opened fire, all who were off duty had the
privilege to go into the Bombproofs.
Notwithstanding all the precautions two men were killed, viz :
Joseph Long, Private, Company C, December 1st, 1864, and
John Alwein, Private, Company E, February 3, 1865, and four
wounded, viz :
Francis Star wick. Private, Company B, March 9th, 1865.

78 HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
During February and March the artillery duels were almost con-
stant. January 29th a shell exploded in the quarters of Company
"F," destroying nearly every tent and several muskets. On an-
other occasion a shell made its way through the roof of the bomb-
proof, when about fifty men were in it, when the shell dropped on
the floor the scramble to get out was exciting, fortunately the shell
did not explode, however, several men were slightly hurt during
the panic.
Captain Samuel K. Schwenk, who was discharged October 12th,
1864, on account of the wound received at Cold Harbor, was com-
missioned major, and assumed command of the regiment on the
28th day of February, 1865.
When the engagement at Ford Stead man took place, we were
doing picket duty along the Appomattox, some distance to the
right of Fort McGilvery. Immediately upon receipt of orders from
Brigade Headquarters, Major Schwenk left a thin skirmish line in
his front, and with the balance of the regiment proceeded to the
scene of conflict. The promptness of the Major's action, and the
propitious position secured by us enabled the regiment to take a
part that drew forth the praise of the Brigade and Division Com-
manders.
Our loss during the engagement was only two men wounded,
viz. :
Francis Starwick, Private, Company B, and William Paulus,
Private, Company F.
After the engagement we again returned to camp, where we re-
mained until April 2d, when we moved to the front a little to the
left of Fort McGilvery. The plan of attack was for General Wil-
cox to make a feint on his front. At four o'clock in the morning
our artillery opened fire along the entire line. Colonel Ely's Bri-
gade carried the picket line, and about two hundred yards of the
main works near the Appomattox. The right wing of the Fiftieth
was engaged and participated in the charge, during which John
Fritz, of Company " C " was killed, and Franklin Fisher, of the
same company was wounded.
PENNSYLVANIA VKTERAN VOLUNTEERS. 79
At half-past four o'clock, on the morning of tlif 3d, the flag of
the First Michigan Regiment was placed on the Court House — the
Fiftieth was either the second or third regiment to enter the city,
soon after we were sent across the Appomattox to take charge of
everything in that section. Scouts were at once sent out, who se-
cured quite a number of prisoners, cannon, &c. Major Sehwenk,
who commanded the regiment during the engagement, reported
having captured twenty-two cannon, three flags and about one
thousand prisoners.

L. Crater,
Adjutant.
Sir: — In compliance with orders from Regimental Headquarters,
I have the honor to make the following report of the operations of
Company "G," in front of and about Petersburg, Va., from the
25th day of March, 1865, to the 5th day of April, 1865 : " On the
morning of the 25th of March, during the attack and capture of
Fort Steadman, by the enemy, a detachment of Company "G,"
consisting of all those in camp who had arms and accoutrements re-
ported to Captain Charles E. Brown, of Company "C," and were
marched on a double-quick to the scene of action. When we ar-
rived there they discovered that the enemy had penetrated our
lines, and were pushing for the railroad. They were posted on the
enemy's flank, and delivered several well directed volleys, doing
good execution. After the enemy had been repulsed and quiet re-
stored, they returned to camp without the loss of a man, having
done all that was required of them, with credit to themselves, and
satisfaction to their commander. After the affair of Fort Stead-
man, we continued to do picket duty along the Appomattox River,
until the morning of the 2d of April, when we received orders to
fall in and report with the regiment at Brigade Headquarters, where
we arrived sometime before daylight. Just at daylight we were
assigned to a position in the pits on the left of Fort Steadman,
where we remained until nine o'clock, when we were ordered to
Garrison Battery No. 9. We remained in the battery until seven
o'clock that evening, (April 2d,) and then marched to the rear of
the works, and stacked arms between the battery and the City

Point Railroad, and rested for the night. Early on the morning
of the 3d we again took position in the pits, from which we ex-
pected to charge, but soon after our arrival there we learned that
the enemy had been compelled to evacuate the city of Petersburg
and its defences. At daylight we left our works and marched
over those of the enemy, and entered with the brigade, the city of
Petersburg. We halted in front of the Court House, where we
stacked arms until ten o'clock A. m., when we crossed the Appo-
mattox River, and again halted on the Richmond and Petersburg
Railroad. At eleven o'clock I received orders from Major Schwenk
to proceed with Company "G," on a scout down the Appomattox
River. We followed the Fort Clifton Road about five miles,
picked up eleven prisoners, took possession of Fort Clifton and
two Minor Forts, containing ten large gun-;, viz.:
Two 100ft) Parrots.
Three 32ft) Rifled Parrots.
Three 24ft> Smooth-bore.
One 10ft) Rifled and one small brass Howitzer.
The magazines were well stored with ammunition. At three p.
m. we retured to the regiment. We remained on the railroad until
the evening of the 5th of April, when we broke camp and marched
to Browder's Crossing, a distance of fourteen miles, arriving there
on the morning of the 6th of April.

quired to authorize the full number of Field Officers, we, the Line
Officers have the honor to recommend Major Samuel K. Schwenk,
for the appointment of Lieutenant Colonel and Captain George W.
Brumm for Major. Both of these officers have served with honor
to themselves, and satisfaction to the command, and in forwarding
their names for your favorable consideration, we have no other aim
than the good of the service, and the discipline and efficiency of the
regiment. Hoping that our petition may receive the notice, which
it in our opinion justly deserves.
We remain very respectfully,
Your most obedient servants,

I have the honor to approve of the above. Captain Brumm
having command of the regiment without any line officers for a
long time, and a most valiant officer.
(Signed,) O. B. WILCOX,
Brevet Major General.
Headquarters, 3d Div., 9th A. C.
March 21st, 1865.
I am well acquainted with the action of Major Schwenk, under
the most trying circumstances under which any officers or regiment
may be placed in battle, and I cannot say too much in his favor as
a cool, brave and temperate officer, he is clearly entitled to this
promotion. Captain Brumm was in command of the regiment
when it was under my orders at the battle of Poplar Spring Church,
September 30th, 1864, and was in fact the only officer with the
regiment during the engagement, all the officers present, having
mustered out of service the day before, except Lieutenant Gechter,
who left the regiment during the battle. Captain Brumm has been
in command of the regiment from September 29th, 1864, to Feb-
ruary 27th. 1865, and, although the regiment, but a short time un-
der my orders, yet I know from the short time as well as from re-
ports since, that he is an able Commander, and in every way worthy
and entitled to promotion, he is also very temperate.
(Signed,) J. F. HARTRANFT,
Brig. General U. S. V.
Headquarters, 9th A. C.
March 21st, 1865.
I hereby heartily endorse the foregoing statements, and earnestly
recommend the within named officers to the favorable consideration
of his excellency.
(Signed,) JOHN G. PARKE,
Maj. Gen'l Commanding.
PENNSYLVANIA VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 87
Sacketts Harbor, December 11th.
My Dear Crater: — I send you an epitoraiside tribute to the old
Fiftieth, after so much delay and difficulty overhauling my papers
for reports. If there be anything in particular that you find I
have riot alluded to, please inform me, and with kind regard to
old comrades of the regiment.
Believe me,
Truly yours,
O. B. WILCOX.
Madison Barracks, Sacketts Harbor, N. Y.
October 11th, 1883.
The Fiftieth Pennsylvania Volunteers first came conspicuously
under my notice at the Battle of South Mountain, 14th of Septem-
ber, 1862. It had just come out of the scathing fire of Chantilly,
and the Second Manassess, as a part of the Second Brigade of the
First Division, Ninth Army Corps. On this day, Septem-
ber 14th, Major Overton Commanded the Regiment, and Colonel
Christ the Brigade, and here was performed the double feat of
changing front under a heavy fire, and checking an incipient panic.
This was done well and gallantly, under the cool bravery and good
management of Colonel Christ and Major Overton, and during the
rest of the fight supporting General Cox's Kanawa Division, from
that day forward the regiment was known at my Headquarters, as
" Old Reliable."
At Antietam when the long impatiently expected orders to ad-
vance were brought, the regiment dashed forward in the most gal-
lant style, and deeply shared with the whole Division, the orders
for recall, after we had cleaned our own front, and thought we
were in sight of Lee's Headquarter wagons.
Again in the battle of the Wilderness, Ny River and Spottsyl-
vania, the long siege of Petersburg, and the fight for the Weldon
Road at Globe Tavern, the Fiftieth shone conspicuously.
The success of Ny River was one of the brilliant little episodes
of the war. Our Division, mainly Christ's Brigade, had gained a
position, overlooking the road by which the rebels in large num-
HISTORY OF THE FIFTIETH REGIMENT,
bers, supposed to be Longstreet's Corps, were moving. It was at
once a saucy and imprudent position, with a river behind us, and
was twice charged, and the chargers repulsed with great determi-
nation. In this affair Captain Samuel K. Schwenk, with four
companies of the Fiftieth, made a fine bayonet charge, at a critical
moment, which probably saved the day, as the enemy had almost
gained the crest of the hill. It was an honor, however, which the
Seventeenth and Twentieth Michigan, and Seventy-ninth New
York came in to share, although not at the point of the bayonet.
This, the bayonet charge, was the peculiar glory of Schwenck and
his little batallion of the Fiftieth.
At Spottsylvania, when the enemy made their grand charge on
the left of the army, which my Division had the honor to hold,
the Fiftieth had to fight their way hand to hand through over-
whelming numbers, in order to save their colors, which they did
successfully though with bloody losses.
On the 18th of June, 1864, in the charge in the Suffolk Railroad
Cut in front of Petersburg, the brave old Roman, Colonel Ben
Christ, was severely wounded, at the head of his Brigade, but all
through the rest of the war as up to this time, the officers and men
of " Old Reliable " maintained the enviable reputation they gained
in the fight of South Mountain, Brenholtz, Overton, Schwenk and
Adjutant Crater, particularly distinguishing themselves.
Very respectfully,
O. B.' WILCOX,
Brevet Maj. Gen., U. S. V.
