82ND PA INFANTRY

Eighty-second Infantry.-Cols., David H. Williams, Isaac C. Bassett

Lieut.-Cols., Frank Vallee, John M. Wetherill,

James R. Neiler; Majs. John M. Wetherill, Isaac C. Bassett, Lyon L. Emanuel,

William Clark. The 82nd regiment, numbered the 31st until after the battle of

Fair Oaks, was recruited from Philadelphia, with the exception of Co. B, which

was recruited in Pittsburgh, in the late summer of 1861. The men rendezvoused

at Suffolk Park, and in July, August and September, were slowly mustered into

the U. S. service for three years. On account of the threatened danger to the

national capital the first four companies assembled were ordered to Washington

and the other companies joined them there as fast as they were organized. The

regimental organization was effected in Washington. It was assigned to the

1st brigade (Gen. Graham), 1st division (Gen. Buell and later Gen. Couch), 4th

corps (Gen. Keyes). It occupied the defenses of Washington for a period of 6

months, engaged in drill, guard and fatigue duty, but March 9, it advanced

with the army to Manassa. It returned again after a few days to its old

quarters and two weeks later proceeded to Fortress Monroe, whence it moved

upon McClellan's Peninsular campaign. The first month was passed at Yorktown,

where it crossed the Chickahominy on May 22, and on the 31st engaged the enemy

at Fair Oaks, its first serious battle, displaying commendable coolness and

bravery. Its loss here was 8 killed and 24 wounded. On the retreat to

Harrison's landing it was engaged at Charles City crossroads and Malvern hill,

suffering severely in the latter battle. It was in line, but not active, at

Chantilly and was only slightly engaged at Antietam. Shortly after this

battle it encamped at Downsville, where it was attached to the 6th corps, with

which it continued throughout the remainder of its service. It was active at

Fredericksburg, but was protected by a deep ditch from the heavy fire of the

enemy and suffered only small loss. The winter was without especial incident,

except Burnside's Mud March in Jan., 1863. In the Chancellorsville campaign

the

corps was commanded by Gen. Sedgwick and the division by Gen.

Newton. It was heavily engaged at the battle of

Chancellorsville, where it formed part of the column which

stormed Marye's heights, and it also shared in the desperate

fighting at Salem Church. Moving in June on the Gettysburg

campaign, it arrived on the field of battle after a hard

forced march, on the afternoon of July 2, and went into

position on the left of the line near Little Round Top. The

fighting had nearly ceased at this point and it was not

engaged, but on the third day of the battle it was shifted to

the extreme right of the line in support of Gen. Geary and was

exposed to a severe artillery fire. It was then moved to the

left and finally to the center, where it was in reserve until

the close of the battle. In the pursuit of Lee which followed

it had a sharp skirmish with the enemy at Funkstown, Md. When

the army returned to Virginia it shared in the ensuing

campaign of manoeuvres; acted as support to a battery at

Rappahannock Station; participated in the abortive movement

upon Mine run, and went into winter quarters at Brandy Station

upon the abandonment of the campaign. While here, about one-

half the regiment re enlisted and was given a veteran furlough.

It was ordered with its brigade at this time to Johnson's

island, opposite Sandusky, Ohio, as it was thought best to

strengthen the guard over the Confederate officers there

confined until the ice on Lake Erie should break up. On May

6, it proceded to Washington and thence to Belle Plain

landing, where it was engaged in guarding prisoners for a

time. It rejoined the brigade at the North Anna rivet but was

not heavily engaged until the army reached Cold Harbor, where

it lost 173 in killed, wounded and missing, more than half its

effective strength. Among the wounded was Col. Bassett. It

crossed the James river on June 16; was engaged in a brisk

skirmish with the enemy's cavalry on June 29, and on July 6,

hastened with the 6th corps to the defense of Washington, then

threatened by Gen. Early. It was active at Fort Stevens in

July, and again at Summit Point in August. While at

Berryville, Va., the original term of enlistment expired and

the regiment, except veterans and recruits, was ordered to

Philadelphia, where it was mustered out on Sept. 16, 1864.

The veterans and recruits were organized into a battalion of

five companies, which were subsequently joined by the veterans
