| One Hundred and Sixty-sixth Infantry. — Col., Andrew J.
Fulton; Lieut.-Col., George W. Reisinger; Maj., Joseph A. Renaut. The
166th, a militia regiment, came from York county. It was organized near
York from Oct. 24 to Dec. 8, 1862, and mustered into the U. S. service
for a nine months term. On Dec. 8 it proceeded to Washington, there
embarked for Newport News and was ordered to Suffolk, where it was
attached to Gen. Peck's brigade. It shared in the defense of Suffolk and
the skirmishes resulting, and after the close of the siege several
expeditions were undertaken to accomplish the destruction of railroads
near the Blackwater. From June 27 to July 2, the regiment was stationed
at White House. After sharing in the movements for the destruction of
railroads north of Richmond it moved to Washington and Harrisburg and
was mustered out at the latter place on July 28, 1863. |
