Regimental History
One Hundred and Fifteenth Infantry. - Col., Jesse H. Moore; Lieut.-Cols., William Kinman, George A. Poteet; Majs., George A. Poteet, John W. Lapham. This regiment was ordered into the field from Camp Butler on Oct. 4, 1862. It reported to Maj.-Gen. Wright at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 6th and, on the same day, crossed over into Kentucky, where it reported to Brig.-Gen. A. J. Smith. It was transferred to Tennessee, marched against Van Dorn during the month of March, 1863, and drove him across Duck river. It then returned to camp and
remained there till June 1, occasionally skirmishing with the enemy. On June 24 it marched with the Army of the Cumberland
against the Confederate army under Gen. Bragg and drove it across the Tennessee. On Sept. 19, it engaged the enemy on the extreme left upon the field of Chickamauga, losing 6 men. On the following day it engaged the enemy on Gen. Thomas' right, at 1 p. m., and after a most fearful struggle held the ground till night, half the entire command being cut down. It participated in all the engagements around Chattanooga and Missionary ridge, losing in the campaign about 245 in killed, wounded and captured. In Feb. 1864, it marched with a detachment of the Army of the Cumberland against Dalton, Ga., and spent 10 days feeling the enemy, losing 6 men in the expedi-
tion. In the spring it entered on the Atlanta campaign and on May 7 led the charge on Tunnel Hill, Ga., driving the enemy through Buzzard Roost gap. It was in battle at Resaca, stubbornly sustaining a charge upon the left flank, for which the regiment was commended in orders. It lost in that contest about 40 men. There were inscribed by orders upon the regimental banner the names of all the principal engagements of the Military division of the Mississippi, which resulted in the fall of Atlanta, and the regiment lost, during the campaign, about 100 men. When Hood started northward and was marching on Chattanooga, Co. D occupied a blockhouse at Buzzard Roost gap, and held in check Hood's army for 10 hours, refusing to surrender the gap till the blockhouse was nearly demolished and rendered untenable. One third of the company of 41 in the aggregate was killed or wounded and the remainder surrendered. The regiment took an active part in the engagements which resulted in the destruction of Bragg's old veteran army. These were its last engagements and it went into camp near Nashville, Tenn., where it remained until mustered out On June 11, 1865.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keble School - This old and flourishing educational institution was founded in 1871, and was the outgrowth of a day school opened by Miss Jackson in September, 1866. In 1871 a boarding department was added and the school was removed to its present location on the corner of James and Burnet streets. It was placed under the general supervision of Rt. Rev. F. D. Huntington, and received its name in honor of the English poet, Keble. At the opening in 1871, the principal, having become impressed with the advantages of kindergarten teaching, introduced it in this school, the first effort of the kind in the city; it was continued three years, when through lack of room and of knowledge of the benefits of the system, it was closed for the time being. In 1878 Keble School was incorporated and a board of trustees chosen, of which Bishop Huntington was president. Since that date the buildings have been twice enlarged to meet the demand for additional students. The kindergarten department was again opened in 1889, commodious rooms having been added for the purpose. There have been in this school since the opening nearly 1,000 pupils, of which number nearly 250 have been members of the school family. There have been 131 graduates, and there are now in the school 150 pupils and fifteen teachers are employed.

There is a brief history of Spafford, Onondaga Co., NY at this web site. Since it's copyrighted (Copyright 1999 by The Syracuse Newspapers), I can only give an excerpt:
In 1813, William Marsh built a carding mill and clothing works. In 1819, Alexander Webster built a distillery, but Dr. Jonathan Kneeland is quoted in the history as remarking: "The distillery did not last very long as its owner soon boiled himself to death in his own mash tub." The distillery operated until 1825.

The regiment left the state Sept. 29, 1861, for Washington, D. C., and went into camp at Frederick, Md., where it remained several months.
The First comprised a part of General Banks' forces and in February, 1862, moved to Harper's Ferry and later entered the Shenandoah Valley, advancing as far as Winchester, pushing the confederates before them.
The First distinguished itself in many skirmishes while advancing up the valley and companies and detachments made a number of brilliant charges which attracted the attention of General Banks and received from him complimentary mention in orders.
General Banks had too small a force to hold his advanced position and the confederates planned to get in his rear and overwhelm him in front and flank and capture his command. Banks fell back to Martinsburg and continued to Williamsport, fighting most of the way, as the confederates had succeeded in getting between him and Williamsport and at the same time pressed his rear guard with forces that outnumbered the Union troops. In this trying movement the First Cavalry did splendid work and only retired from the difficult position held when greatly outnumbered by the enemy.
The First remained at Williamsport until June 12, when it took part in General Pope's Virginia campaign. It was in General Banks' command when he fought the battle of Cedar Mountain, July 16, where he was badly defeated.
The First was engaged at Manassas Aug. 30, suffering severely in that battle, the brave and chivalrous Colonel Brodhead being among the mortally wounded.
The regiment during the early months of 1863 was assigned to duty in front of the defenses at Washington and held a long line, making the work arduous and exacting and requiring the regiment to be alert night and day. During this period it had several skirmishes with the enemy, losing a number in killed and wounded.
The First, in command of Colonel Town, was assigned to the famous Michigan Cavalry Brigade, consisting of the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Cavalry, and served with the brigade until the close of the war.
The brigade was in command of General Custer in June, 1863, during the Pennsylvania campaign and in July the First was with the brigade at Gettysburg and made a saber charge upon Hampton's brigade of confederate cavalry, one of the most desperate as well as brilliant charges of the war. The First drove a whole brigade in confusion from the field and turned what appeared to be a defeat of the Union forces into a complete victory. The regiment lost at Gettysburg 11 officers and 80 men killed, wounded or missing.
On the fourth of July one squadron of the First, under Colonel Stagg, charged the enemy at Fairfield Gap, driving the confederates out and holding it until the entire column passed. Two officers were killed and 17 men were killed or wounded in this charge.
The fourteenth of July the First took part in the severe engagement at Falling Waters, where the Cavalry brigade captured 500 prisoners, one gun, three battle flags and a large quantity of small arms. The First captured two of the battle flags, one major and 70 men, who surrendered to Sergeants
Alfonso Chilson and James B. Lyon.
The regiment returned to Virginia and was constantly on duty with the brigade, meeting the enemy at many places, and was at James City in October. Here Kilpatrick's division, of which the Michigan Brigade formed a part, was attacked by the enemy under Fitz Hugh Lee and a desperate battle ensued. Custer's brigade was surrounded and he determined to cut his way out with the saber.
The First and Fifth regiments were formed in column of battalions, ordered to draw sabers and, while the band played "Yankee Doodle," went forward at a full gallop, scattering the foe in their front, and afterward secured a place of safety for the whole command.
Nov. 19 the First met the enemy at Buckland's Mills in a severe engagement and at Morton's Ford on the 26th.
In December 370 of the First Cavalry re-enlisted and went home to Michigan on a thirty-day furlough.
In February, 1864, General Kilpatrick started on a raid to Richmond, taking with him the members of the First who did not re-enlist, and they shared all the vicissitudes, dangers and hardships of the raid, actually going over the first line of works at Richmond, but were unable to go further and returned to the army after severe fighting and many losses.
The First, after the term of veteran furlough, reassembled at Camp Stoneman, D. C., March 1, 1864, and was joined by a battalion of newly organized troops that had been recruited the previous December. May 5th it crossed the Rapidan and entered upon the campaign of 1864.
The First was among the forces commanded by General Sheridan in his celebrated raid in the rear of Lee's army and took part in the severe engagements that were fought both in the advance upon Richmond and the return. Major Brewer, with one battalion of the First, charged the enemy conducting 400 Union prisoners to Richmond and re-captured all of them.
On the eleventh the enemy's forces under General J. E. B. Stuart's command was encountered at Yellow Tavern and a sanguinary encounter took place. While the balance of the brigade was confronting the enemy the First was formed in column for a charge. It moved forward under Lieutenant Colonel Stagg, meeting a severe fire of grape and canister from a battery concealed on the right, but, nothing daunted, the regiment advanced with cheers and yells, though it had to cross five fences and a narrow bridge.
The men rode straight for the battery and captured it with a large number of prisoners. The confederate forces were completely routed and the greatest cavalry commander of the confederacy, J. E. B. Stuart, was mortally wounded and died in Richmond shortly afterward. General Sheridan found the city of Richmond too strongly fortified to be taken by assault and marched by the way of Gaines' Mills and rejoined the Army of the Potomac.
The First, with the balance of the brigade, took part in the severe engagement at Hawes' Shop May 28, where the battle raged for hours with great fury, each side obstinately contending every inch of ground. The country was wooded and the fighting was necessarily on foot and the loss on both sides was heavy. The enemy was completely defeated, but the victory was won at great sacrifice of life.
May 31 the First was at Cold Harbor and during a spirited engagement with infantry, artillery and cavalry Major Brewer of the First made a saber charge upon the enemy and broke his line, when the confederates threw down their arms and fled, leaving their dead and wounded on the field.
This position was an important one and orders were received to hold it at all hazards and the troops of the Michigan Cavalry Brigade slept on their arms during the night. Soon after daybreak that portion of the line held by the First Michigan was attacked by a large force of the enemy, which was
repulsed. During this attack Captain Brevoort, one of the most gallant officers in the command, was killed and Captain William B. Heazlitt was wounded. The cavalry held this line until near noon, when it was relieved by the Sixth Corps.
On June 2d the regiment moved toward the Chickahominy and encamped at Bottom's Bridge, where it remained until June 4th, when it moved to the old Church Tavern, thence on the fifth to Shedley's, near Hawes' Shop, and on the sixth to Newcastle Ferry. On the seventh the regiment crossed the Pamunkey river and marched about a mile beyond Aylett's, where it remained until the next morning and then moved to Henning creek and went
into camp. On June 9th encamped at Young's Bridge and on the evening of the tenth arrived within three miles of Louisa Court House. On the 11th and 12th of June the regiment was engaged with the rest of the brigade in the battle of Trevillian Station, in which battle Captain Carr, Lieutenants Pulver and Warren of the regiment were killed and Captain Duggan and Lieutenant Bullock were wounded.
On the night of June 12th, when the brigade retreated, the first marched all night. On the twenty-eighth it crossed the James river.
The last of July the First was ordered to Washington to take part in the Shenandoah campaign under General Sheridan. It shared all the vicissitudes of the numerous battles that culminated in driving General Early and all confederate forces out of the valley. The campaign was a brilliant series of successes and the First maintained its most honorable record and was conspicuous for its gallantry in many of the decisive
victories won. No brief or abridged history of a cavalry regiment can do justice to the officers and men of the organization, for it frequently is separated from its brigade and division and is required to plan its own advance and attack and the hazardous positions such a command often finds itself in requires the coolest judgment, a fertility of resources and the highest skill to extricate itself with honor and credit. To write the history of a cavalry regiment requires a daily memorandum, for its constant movements night and day and the detachments sent on perilous scouts cannot be covered by a brief statement of its campaigns.
In February, 1865, the First was a part of the forces under General Sheridan when he moved against the enemy's communications at Gordonsville and in March fought the confederate cavalry under General Rosser at Louisa Court House, defeating the enemy and destroying a large amount of public property. The First helped to destroy the locks, acqueducts and mills on the James river canal, the destruction of which was a serious embarrassment to General Lee. It returned to the White House after this successful raid March 19 and immediately took part in the momentous movement when the Army of the Potomac was swung around General Lee's right. It fought at Five Forks and clung close to the enemy during the memorable days of the pursuit of General Lee's army, everywhere striking hard blows that helped to deprive the enemy of his wagon trains and artillery, fighting desperately at Sailor's Creek, where the Michigan Brigade destroyed 400 wagons and captured sixteen guns and cut off General Ewell's corps from General Lee's army, when General Ewell and his corps of 6,000 surrendered.
After the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, the First with its brigade was sent to North Carolina, but returned to Washington, where it took part in the grand review May 23.
The Michigan Brigade was at once ordered to proceed to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., thence to Fort Laramie, Wyoming Territory, where portions of each regiment were consolidated into a regiment designated as the "First Michigan Cavalry." The order assigning this brigade to duty in the West was a most unjust action, after its severe, long and honorable service in the East, and the officers and men endured great hardships in their campaign against the Indians in the far West. The matter was a subject of quite an acrimonious correspondence between Governor Crapo of Michigan and the War Department and Congress eventually made an appropriation to do partial justice to men who were mustered out in Utah with no means of reaching home.
The regiment was mustered out at Salt Lake City, Utah, March 10, 1866, where the men were paid and disbanded.

The regiment was mustered into the U. S. service February 6, 1862, with an enrollment of 997 officers and men.
The field, staff and line officers of the Tenth at organization were as follows:
Charles M. Lum, Colonel, Detroit. Christopher J. Dickerson, Lieutenant Colonel, Hillsdale. James J. Scarrett, Major, Port Huron. James C. Willson, Surgeon, Flint. Franklin B.

K. Captain, Ethel Judd, North Adams. First Lieutenant, John T. Storer, Hillsdale. Second Lieutenant,------,------.
The regiment left the state April 22, 1862, under command of Colonel Charles M. Lam, and joined the army under General Hallock, at Pittsburg Landing, Tenn., and was assigned to the Second Brigade, General Pope's Division.
The Tenth was in the presence of the enemy the moment it reached its destination and at once commenced a series of marches and skirmishes that occupied every day together with the hard work of building trenches and fortifications. When the confederates retreated from Corinth the Tenth went into camp at that place, where it remained until June 20, enjoying a much needed rest, when it was ordered to Tuscumbia, Ala. Detachments of the regiment were sent out from this place to occupy certain positions and act as provost guard.
In September the Tenth marched to Nashville, where it was engaged in building fortifications, taking part in reconnaissances, guarding trains, suffering severely on account of short rations. The regiment was then assigned to the First Brigade, Second Division, Fourteenth Army Corps, Army of the Cumberland.
During the winter the regiment was constantly on duty and made many and long marches, but met with no serious losses in battle. It had frequent contacts with the enemy while guarding trains and lost a number of men in these engagements. In September, 1863, the regiment was at Bridgeport, Ala., and crossed the Tennessee river near Chattanooga, and was at Chickamauga Station the 26th. It was constantly in motion, occupying a number of towns during the summer and fall.
The regiment veteranized at Rossville, 335 men re-enlisting the 6th of February, 1864, with the expectation of going home for a 30 days' furlough. While anticipating such a pleasant event orders were received for the regiment to move with the army in a general advance toward Dalton, Ga.
At Buzzard's Roost, February 25, the enemy was found strongly fortified, and the Tenth was pushed forward upon the confederate works and met a storm of grape and cannister, causing a loss of 13 killed, 35 wounded and 17 missing, a total loss of 65.
The following month the regiment returned to Michigan, arriving at Detroit March 11, and was furloughed for 30 days. May 11 the Tenth was back in Chattanooga, and commenced the Georgia Campaign, marching by way of Dalton and Kenesaw Mountain, crossing the Chattahoochie river the 17th, and taking part in the siege of Atlanta.
The Tenth was a part of General Sherman's army and participated in the march from "Atlanta to the Sea," and after a number of skirmishes with the enemy, arrived before Savannah December 11, and when that city fell the Tenth encamped there until January 20, 1865, when it started with the balance of the army on the Campaign of the Carolinas.
The Tenth crossed the Savannah river at Sister's Ferry, Feb. 6, and was engaged with the enemy at Fayetteville, N. C., March 11, and crossed the Cape Fear river on the 12th.
The regiment skirmished heavily with the enemy at Averysboro, N. C., the 16th, and fought a battle at Bentonville, the 19th. The Tenth then marched on Raleigh, and reached Goldsboro on the 23rd. The line of march was then continued to Richmond, Va., as that city had fallen into the hands of the Union troops at the surrender of General Lee. On the 10th of May, 1865, the regiment marched to Washington, D. C., where it took part in the grand review with General Sherman's army on the 24th.
The regiment, then in command of Colonel Dunphy, started for Louisville, Ky., where it was mustered out of service July 19, 1865 and returned to Jackson, Mich., the 22d, and on the 1st of August was paid off and disbanded.
The 10th during service had been engaged at Farmington, Miss., May 9, 1862; siege of Corinth, Miss., May 10 to 31, 1862; Boonville, Miss., June 1, 1862; Nashville, Tenn., November 5, 1862; Stone River, Tenn., December 29 and 31, 1862, and January 2 and 3, 1863; Lavergne, Tenn., January 25, 1863; Antioch, Tenn., April 10, 1863; Mission Ridge, Ga., November 24, 1863; Chickamauga, Ga., November 26, 1863; Ringgold, Tenn., November 27, 1863; Buzzard's Roost, Ga., February 25, 1864; Resaca, Ga., May 15, 1864; Rome, Ga., May 18, 1864; Dallas, Ga., May 28, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, Ga., June 27, 1864; Chattahoochee River, Ga., July 6, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 19, 1864; Durrant's Mill, Ga., July 20 and 21, 1864; Sandtown Road, Ga., August 14, 1864; Red Oak Turnout, Ga., August 27, 1864; Rough and Ready, Ga., August 30, 1864; siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 22 to August 25, 1864; Atlanta, Ga.,

Notes for Margaret Eliza Maltby, 10 Dec 1860 - 1944
Fact 1: unmarried [Source: "History and Genealogy of the Patchin-Patchen Family", Grace Patchen Leggett, 1952]
CWP at UCLA web site states:
Contributions:
Measurement of high electrolytic resistances.
Conductivity of very dilute solutions.
Most of her significant research occurred before she began teaching at Barnard College, where her involvement in administration left her little time for research. (Barnard College was founded in 1889 as a college for women.) Maltby was a mentor to her students, vigorously extending efforts to support their professional advancement. During her 31 years of teaching at Barnard, and the nearly 20 years that she was chair of the physics department, Maltby took a great interest in her students learning. For music students, she introduced what was probably the first course in the physics of music.
There are many examples of her efforts to support the professional advancement of female physicists. As chair of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) Committee on Fellowships, Maltby administered funds that supported women actively engaged in physics research during the early part of their careers. Since women were not eligible for many research fellowships because of their gender, the AAUW Fellowships were critical for maintaining a cadre of women physicists. Maltby's enormous, behind the scenes effort on the Fellowships contributed to their preservation.
Maltby supported women's efforts both to live a normal life and do physics. As chair of the Physics Department, she vigorously opposed the forced resignation of Harriet Brooks when she planned to marry. Barnard College had a Dean's rule that "the College cannot afford to have women on the staff to whom the college work is secondary; the College is not willing to stamp with approval a woman to whom self-elected home duties can be secondary."
"Her students greatly admired her. One of them wrote to, me: `Professor Maltby was my mentor--a gracious lady--a friend and a counselor. Her most memorable advice to me was not to forgo marriage for a career--which advice I followed and lived happily ever after.' Miss Maltby herself never married but nevertheles enjoyed some of the pleasures of motherhood and grandmotherhood through the adoption in 1901 of the orphaned son of a close friend." --Katharine Sopka [mk1984ks]

This regiment was organized at Milwaukee and was mustered in Oct. 14 1862. It left the state Dec. 20 for Columbus, Ky., from which point it was ordered out on several minor expeditions.
It embarked for Helena, Ark., Jan. 5, 1863, and joined Gorman's expedition up the White River. It was detached and placed in charge of St. Charles which place the enemy had deserted on Gorman's approach, the balance of the forces proceeding to Devall's Bluff.
The regiment rejoined the expedition on the return march, was transferred to the 1st brigade and sent on the Yazoo Pass expedition. It was engaged in the operations against Fort Pemberton, and in minor expeditions the remainder of the spring.

Notes for Henry Clay Patchen, Jul 1834 - Jul 1857
"History and Genealogy of the Patchin-Patchen Family", Grace Patchen Leggett, 1952 states:
George L. Patchen applied for letters of administration, but the widow resisted his right to the letters. Upon trial it was held that he [Henry Clay Patchen] was the man whom she married on the evening of Nov. 12, 1855, under the name of David Sparks.

Regimental History, VERMONT FOURTEENTH REGIMENT.
BY REV. WILLIAM S. SMART, D. D., CHAPLAIN FOURTEENTH REGIMENT.
THE fourteenth regiment was raised under President Lincoln's call of August 4, 1862, for three hundred thousand militia to serve for nine months. It consisted of companies recruited in Addison, Rutland and Bennington counties, and contained men from every town, except Brandon, which had furnished a company (G) under Capt. (Gov.) E. J. Ormsbee, to the Twelfth regiment. The headquarters of the various companies were as follows: A, Bennington; B, Wallingford; C, Manchester; D, Shoreham; E, Middlebury; F, Castleton; G, Bristol; H, Rutland; I, Vergennes; K, Danby.
The regiment went into camp at Brattleboro, October 6, 1862, and was mustered into the United States service, October 21, and left next day for Washington, D. C., nine hundred fifty-two strong. They were as fine a body of men as could be found in the State, representing every walk in life. Every one was a volunteer, and not one deserter is found on their roster. A draft had been ordered by Governor Holbrook for September 11 in case the quotas of the towns were not raised by that time, but no draft was needed. During the recruiting of the regiment, an incident occurred in Benson, which, while local, well illustrates the patriotic spirit which pervaded Vermont. By a mistake in the office of the Adjutant General, the quota of this town was five in excess of the real number. It was discovered too late to be remedied, and the intelligence reached the town on the evening of the 10th, that the selectmen must proceed with the draft if the quota was not full by the morning of the 11th. Messengers were dispatched, and the people of the town summoned to consider the emergency. By ten o'clock nearly every male inhabitant was present. The first thing to do was to raise $1,000 to pay the usual bounty. As this was not a legal meeting, it was promptly raised by subscription, and the five men needed stepped into the breach, and the dreaded stigma of a draft was averted.
The officers of the regiment were a fine and able body of men. Few changes were found necessary during their term of service, yet they could have been duplicated, twice over, from the ranks. Of those now living it is not needful to speak. Many of them are well known in the State, but of the dead the spirit of comradeship compels a word.
Col. William T. Nichols of Rutland, was a brave and efficient commander. His first service was as a volunteer in the Rutland company of the First regiment. On his return he was elected as representative in the Legislature, and again in 1862, but dropping all civil duties and legal practice, he devoted himself to the service of his country. He is remembered by his officers and men with affection and esteem, as a good soldier and a gentleman. He died in April, 1882.
Charles Field of Dorset, was a Quartermaster, whose energy and care for the wants of the regiment were as unfailing as his native courtesy and gentle manners. Of this he gave signal proof, when, on the morning of July 2, he appeared on Cemetery Hill, with four wagon loads of coffee and hard tack. In doing this he took the risk of disobeying orders to go to the rear, with his train, and narrowly escaped capture, but his coming was welcomed by hungry men, and he saved the brigade from having to fight on empty stomachs.
Captain Munson of Manchester, company C, was a brave and capable officer in whose hands the colors never wavered on the line.
Capt. (Judge) Walter C. Dunton, company H, was as cool, careful and devoted to duty on the field, as he was afterwards distinguished for his ability and probity on the bench. He has gone over to the majority, mourned as a true patriot and good citizen.
The Fourteenth was attached to the defenses of Washington and did picket duty, first at Alexandria, after the 11th of December near Fairfax Court House, where it assisted in the repulse of Stuart's cavalry raid, and from March to June, 1863, at Wolf Run Shoals on the Occoquan river. This was the outer picket line of Washington. This duty was interspersed with the digging of rifle pits and the building of corduroy roads. The duty, while not particularly dangerous, was arduous and involved much exposure and hardship in winter weather. The health of the regiment, however, was good and the record remarkable. The entire loss by disease was only thirty-nine men, far less than the other regiments of the brigade. Some of this redounds to the credit of our excellent Surgeon, Dr. A. T. Woodward, and his assistant, Dr. L. D. Ross. Something is also to be attributed to the pluck and good spirit of the men, as is illustrated in the medical record of company A. It was called the "noisy company." There was always some sport on hand among the boys of company A. They did not lose a man by sickness, and Captain Gore had the satisfaction of bringing back to Brattleboro every man he took out. Not a man was hit during the battle, although they were in no better position, apparently, than the rest of the line. The company must have been out of the range of the terrible artillery fire from which the regiment sustained its heavy loss at Gettysburg.
On the 20th of April, Gen. George J. Stannard, was assigned to the command of the brigade and on June 25th, the brigade, having been attached to the Third Division of the First Corps, began the march to the North, which ended at Gettysburg. June 30 it had reached Emmettsburg, Maryland, having marched one hundred twenty miles in six days, gaining a day on the First Corps, which had proceeded in advance of the entire army.
The next day's march was made with quickened pace, for the sound of guns to the north told that a battle was going on and we were needed. The regiment reached the field too late to participate in the fighting of the first day, and bivouacked in a wheat field to the left of Cemetery Hill. At daylight of July 2 the brigade joined the First Corps, which was reduced by the casualties of the first day to two thousand four hundred men. This march was severe and told heavily on our ranks. The seven hundred twenty-two men who left Wolf Run Shoals, June 25, were reduced to five hundred. Two hundred and twenty-two had been compelled to fall out, unable to bear the killing pace.
Late in the afternoon of the 2nd, the brigade was called into action on the left center, to repel the attack of Gen. A. P. Hill. A battery had already been captured and was re-taken by the Thirteenth Vermont. Another was in peril and was saved as the Fourteenth double-quicked to its rescue. The regiment remained in this position during the rest of the engagement. In the opening cannonade of the third day the Fourteenth had several non-commissioned officers and men killed by the explosion of a battery caisson, near which they were lying. Colonel Nichols obtained permission to move his regiment forward about ten rods from the main line, where they lay during the terrific cannonade of the third day. When the gray line of Pickett's massive charge, seventeen thousand strong, moved down upon the position of the Fourteenth, they lay concealed on the ground, until the line was within sixty yards. The men rose at command and gave a staggering and unexpected volley in the face of the charging column. The direction of the advancing charge was changed, and swung off to the north, until their right flank was beyond the right of the Fourteenth. It was at this time that General Stannard's quick eye saw his chance for a flank movement, and delivered it with such fatal effect upon Pickett. The Fourteenth moved a short distance by the flank to the north, and obliquely from the main line. The Thirteenth, followed by the Sixteenth, changed front on the first company and moved out at right angles from the line and charged forward. The Fourteenth kept up a rapid fire at close range and closed up the pen in which Pickett's right wing was caught and crushed.
After the main charge was repulsed, General Wilcox's Brigade was seen coming down in front of the position of the Fourteenth. The Sixteenth was coming back to get into line to receive the charge, but Colonel Veazey saw an opportunity to strike them on the front, which he did in splendid style. Four companies of the Fourteenth, A, F, D and I, under Lieutenant-Colonel Rose, formed on his left and assisted in capturing most of the Rebel Brigade. So it fell to the lot of the Fourteenth, with the other regiments, to uphold the honor of Vermont on this hotly contested field, and at this critical time in the battle.
It can with truth be said, that they "Nothing common did, or mean, Upon that memorable scene."
General Doubleday, in his official report, says of these troops, which had never been in action before: "These movements were executed in open field, under very heavy fire of shell, grape and musketry, and were performed with the promptness and decision of battalion drill." The losses sustained by the Fourteenth in this engagement, were the largest in the brigade. Nineteen were killed in action; nine died from wounds received in action; total, twenty-seven. The wounded numbered seventy-four.
The Fourteenth joined in the pursuit of Lee after the battle and made some hard marches, one, on the 7th of July, is recalled of thirty-five miles continuously, ending in rain, mud and darkness, on the top of the Catoctin Mountain, after midnight. July 18 the regiment was released and started for home, and was mustered out at Brattleboro, July 30, 1863.
Vermont does well to preserve the names and deeds of her soldiers in the Civil War among her most precious archives, that the spirit of her sons, more immortal than their deeds, may be preserved to future generations. Such were the young men of Vermont in 1863. Such may they ever be when their country needs their service.
The average age of the regiment was a fraction over twenty-five years. Three hundred thirty two were from sixteen to twenty-one years of age.
All hail to the Vermont veterans, whose locks are growing gray, but who in youth's golden prime, held country dearest of all. May their generations never cease.
