| The Erie Regiment. — Col., John W. McLane; Lieut.-Col.,
Benjamin Grant; Maj., M. Schlaudecker. The Erie regiment, which was
recruited in Erie and Crawford counties, was sent to Pittsburg and there
camped for six weeks. Later the arrival of more troops made the camp too
crowded and a new camp was made near Hulton Station. Weeks of drill and
camp duty followed but the anxiously awaited marching orders were not
received. It was a greatly disappointed body of men who returned to Erie
at the expiration of the term of enlistment without having been called
to the front. But the drill of that summer made them most valuable
recruits to some of the regiments organized later. |
