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. |
