M. Bayne: Lieut.-Col., Isaac Wright; Maj., Charles Ryan. The 136th
regiment was recruited in the counties of Allegheny, Tioga, Luzerne,
Dauphin, Crawford, Center, Columbia and Cambria; rendezvoused at Camp
Curtin, Harrisburg, and was mustered into the U. S. service in Aug.,
1862, for 9 months. It reached Washington while the second Bull Run
battle was being fought, and was stationed in the defenses of the city
until the close of September, when it moved to Sharpsburg, where it was
assigned to the 2nd brigade, 2nd division, 1st corps. Early in November
it moved into Virginia, marching via Warrenton, Brooks' station and
White Oak Church to Falmouth. It was hotly engaged at the battle of
Fredericksburg, as part of Lyle's brigade, Gibbon's division, 1st corps,
Franklin's Grand Division, on the left of the line. Its loss in the
battle was 140 in killed, wounded and missing, Capt. Chapman being
killed and Capt. Marchand mortally wounded. It then returned to its old
camp, where it remained without incident, except Burnside's "Mud March"
in Jan., 1863, until the opening of the Chancellorsville campaign. On
the night of May 2 it went into position on the extreme right, where
breast-works were hurriedly thrown up, and this intrenched position was
maintained during the last two days of the battle. On the expiration of
its term of service it returned to Harrisburg, where it was mustered out
of service on May 29, 1863. |
