| Tenth Infantry.-Col., Sullivan A. Meredith; Lieut.-Col., Oliver J.
Dickey; Maj., Richard White. The 10th was recruited in the counties of Lancaster, Center,
Schuylkill, Dauphin, Cambria and Huntingdon and was mustered into the U. S. service at
Harrisburg, April 22 to 29, 1861, to serve for three months. Ordered to Chambersburg on
May 1, it encamped there until June 8, when it moved to Greencastle as part of the 3d
brigade, 1st division, Gen. Patterson's army, which proceeded through Middleburg to St.
James college and on July 1 entered Virginia. It reached Martinsburg on the 3d, after a
slight skirmish with the enemy on the road. The regiment participated in the marches to
Bunker Hill and Charlestown and was formed in battle line at the latter place, when the
news of Bull Run was received, which closed the campaign in Virginia. On July 31, the
regiment was mustered out at Harrisburg. |
