Regimental History
One Hundred and Seventy-second Infantry. — Col., Charles Kleckner; Lieut. Cols., Thaddeus G. Bogle, James A. Johnson; Maj., M. T. Heintzelman. The greater portion of this militia regiment came from the counties of Snyder and Northumberland. It was mustered into the U. S. service at Harrisburg in Nov., 1862, for nine months, and moved to Washington on Dec. 2. It was ordered to Newport News, thence to Yorktown, and garrisoned the fort at the latter place until July, 1863. At that time it was sent to Hagerstown, Md., and assigned to the 11th corps, with which it joined in the pursuit of the enemy as far as Williamsport. It then moved to Warrenton Junction and from there to Harrisburg, where it was mustered out on Aug. 1.
