| Regimental History |
| One Hundred and Ninety-second Infantry. — Col., William
B. Thomas; Lieut.-Col., Benjamin L. Taylor; Majs., C. W. McClintock,
Henry J. Snyder. This regiment was recruited from the 20th Pa. militia,
which had been called into the service of the state, under command of
Col. Thomas in 1862 and again in 1863. It rendezvoused at Camp
Cadwalader, Philadelphia, where fourteen companies were organized and
mustered into the U. S. service on July 7, 1864, for a term of 100 days.
On the 23d it left the state for Baltimore and on Aug. 1 was ordered to
garrison Fort McHenry, where it was drilled in heavy artillery duty.
About the middle of the month it moved to Johnson's island, Lake Erie,
but remained there only a few days, when it was ordered to Gallipolis on
the Ohio river. Here it was employed in guarding and forwarding supplies
accumulated for the Union armies. On Sept. 30 Cos. M, A, B, F, D, L and
G, under Maj. McClintock, were ordered to Weston, W. Va., where they
served under Gen. Kelley until the close of their term of enlistment. On
the expiration of their term of service the two battalions proceeded to
Philadelphia, where the command was mustered out on Nov. 11, 1864. The
regiment was reorganized for one year's service with the following
officers: Col., William W. Stewart; Lieut -Col., Thomas McLeester; Maj.,
William F. Johnston. October 18, 1864, a sufficient number of men from
the 100 days' organization to form one company reenlisted for one year's
service. In the spring of 1865 nine new companies were organized at
Harrisburg and proceeded to Harper's Ferry, where a regimental
organization was effected, which continued to be known as the 192nd of
the line. On the opening of the spring campaign the regiment moved up
the valley to Staunton and Lexington, but saw little fighting, as the
war was practically ended. It remained in service in the Middle Military
Division until Aug. 24, when it was mustered out. |
