| One Hundred and Ninety-first Infantry. — Col., James
Carle; Lieut.-Cols., George W. McCracken, Milton Weidler; Maj., Milton
Weidler. The 191st, the 2nd veteran reserves, was organized in the field
in May, 1864, from the veterans and recruits of the Pa. reserve corps.
It was composed of men from the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th and 10th reserve
regiments. Col. Carle had been a captain in the 6th, Lieut. - Col.
McCracken a captain in the 10th, and Maj. Weidler a lieutenant in the
1st. Lieut. -Col. McCracken was never mustered on account of wounds
received soon after the command was organized. Together with the 190th
it formed the 3d brigade, 3d division, 5th corps, and in the fighting at
Cold Harbor lost 2 killed, 4 wounded and 1 missing. Its subsequent
history is identical with that of the 190th regiment (q. v.). On March
21, 1865, the remaining members of the 157th Pa. infantry were
transferred to this regiment. It was finally mustered out of service
near Washington, June 28, 1865. |
