Im Battle of Fredericksburg am 13.12.1862 gehörte die 106th Pennsylvania Infantry zum II. Korps; bei Angriff auf den Stonewall blieben die überlebenden Soldaten der ersten Angriffswellen vor dem Stonewall liegen und bildeten so für die Angreifer der späteren Angriffswellen, den Pennsylvania-Regimentern der Division Humphreys (Brigaden *Briggs/*Allabach und *Tyler) ein Hindernis, an dem u.a. deren Angriff letztendlich wegen Verlust des Zusammenhalts und der Geschwindigkeit scheiterte. Der Divisionskomman­deur BrigGen *Humphreys führte in seinem Official Report das Scheitern u.a. auf dieses Hindernis zurück. Diese Kritik löste eine Diskussion aus, insb. mit der 106th Pennsylvania Infantry, die sich gegen die Unterstellung der “Drückebergerei” verteidigte (vgl. Reardon, Carol: "Humphreys's Pennsylvania Division"; in: Gallagher u.a.: Fredericksburg, a.a.O., S. 103).

Pennsylvania Volunteer:

Zouaves de Afrique“, Independent Company Infantry

 

Medal of Honor: Col Collis, Charles Henry Tucky

 

Led by the colorful Colonel Charles H. T. Collis, the 114th Pennsylvania was unique among the regiments in the Union Army. This unusual group of soldiers embraced the flamboyant uniform style made famous by the French army's Zouaves. Collis' original com­mand, an independent company of Zouaves d'Afrique, battled Stonewall Jackson in the 1862 Shenandoah Valley campaign. Recrui­ted in the summer of 1862 from Philadelphia and surrounding counties, its members were older and more highly skilled than the ave­rage Union soldier. Collis' Zouaves participated in many of the major battles of the war, including Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Petersburg.

 

Während der Gettysburg Campaign 1863 gehörte die 114th Pennsylvania Infantry zum III Army Corps MajGen Daniel E. Sickles, 1st Division MajGen David B. Birney, 1st Brigade BrigGen Charles K. Graham (vgl. B & L, vol. III, a.a.O., S. 435).

192nd Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry:

 

Overview:

"Compendium of the War of the Rebellion" by Frederick H. Dyer contains no history for this unit.

 

Twentieth Pennsylvania Militia, which had been called out for the defense of the State/ in 1862, under command of Colonel William B. Thomas, and again in 1863, was re-organized and recruited in July, 1864, for service in the National army, for a period of one hun­dred days, as the One Hundred and Ninety-second Regiment of the line. It was recruited in the city of Philadelphia, the troops ren­dezvousing at Camp Cadwalader, and consisted of fourteen companies, commanded by the following field officers : William B. Tho­mas, Colonel; Benjamin L. Taylor, Lieutenant Colonel; C. W. M Clintock, and Henry J. Snyder, Majors. The regiment left Philadel­phia on the 23d of July, and proceeded to Baltimore, encamping until the close of the month, about five miles from the city. On the 1st of August, it was ordered to garrison duty at Fort M Henry. It was here drilled in heavy artillery duty, by a Lieutenant of the regu­lar army. It had been previously well instructed in light infantry tactics by Colonel Thomas. Two weeks later it was relieved at the fort, and proceeded via Harrisburg and Pittsburg, to Johnson s Island, Lake Erie, where were confined large numbers of prisoners of war. It remained here but a few days, when its destination was again changed, and headingsouthward, it proceeded by rail to Gallipo­lis, a little town on the Ohio Eiver, nearly opposite the mouth of the Great Kanawha Eiver. Early in the war, the great advantages of this place for a depot of supplies for the Union armies, were recognized, and vast quantities had been accumulated there. To guard these, and ship and re-ship them as needed, was the duty to which the regiment was assigned. This was a responsible and arduous ser­vice. Eaiding and guerrilla bands were constantly hovering in the neighborhood, and more than one bold plot was formed for the de­struction of these supplies, which were of vital importance to the armies in West Virginia and in Tennessee. Detachments were regu­larly supplied for guard to boats plying upon the river^ while others were frequently sent out to break up irregular bands of the ene­my. On the 30th of September, companies M, A, B, F, D, L and G, under command of Major M Clmtock, proceeded to Westou, West Virginia, where they served under command of General Kelley, until the close of their term of enlistment. Lieutenant William E. Tyn­dale, in command of company K, while on his way with his command from Irontou, where he had for six weeks been on duty, to re-join the regiment, was drowned in the Ohio Elver, on the night of the 21st of October, by being accidentally precipitated from the transport on which he was moving. He was a good officer, and ha-d served

with credit at the front, in the earlier years of the war. On the 31st of October, the term of service of the regiment having already expired, the battalion remaining at Gallipolis was relieved, and returned by way of Parkersburg and Baltimore, to Philadelphia, whither the battalion at Westou had preceded it3 and on the 11th of November, was mustered out of service. One company, under command of Captain William F. Johnston, re-enlisted for a further term of one year, and formed part of a second regiment, known as the One Hundred and Mnety-secoud. In the spring of 18G5, nine new companies were recruited, which reported as fast as organized, to the commander of the Middle Military Division, with headquarters at Harper s Ferry, where a regimental organization was effected about the middle of March, with the following field officers: William W. Stewart, Colonel ; Thomas M Leester, Lieutenant Colonel ; William F. Johnston, Major. When the spring campaign opened, the regiment moved up the valley to Stauuton and Lexington ; but few of the enemy were met, the fighting here being substantially at an end. It was, however, retained in the department, engaged in various duties, until the 24th of August, when it was mustered out of service (Bates: Pennsylvania Volunteers, vol. 5, 341).
