| One Hundred and Sixty-fifth Infantry. — Col., Charles
H. Buehler; Lieut.-Col., E. G. Fahnestock; Maj., Nash G. Camp. The
165th, a militia regiment, of which one company came from Franklin
county, one from Cumberland and the remainder from Adams, was organized
at Chambersburg between Nov. 25 and Dec. 4, 1862 and moved to Washington
on Dec. 8. Proceeding to Suffolk it encamped there for some time and was
attached to the 1st division, 7th corps. An expedition to the Blackwater
was undertaken and in Jan., 1863, a part of the regiment was engaged at
Deserted House and pursued the enemy for some distance. The command
aided in the defense of Suffolk, when it was besieged by Gen. Longstreet
in the spring of 1863, and in a raid upon the Weldon railroad in May.
Its next movement was in the direction of Richmond and after destroying
bridges on the South Anna river it withdrew to Yorktown and returned to
Gettysburg, where it was mustered out July 28, 1863. |
