Chapter 52: War Record of Washington County

The date of the organization of the First Regi¬ ment of Volunteers of Minnesota, April, 1861, will indicate the enthusiasm of the state in re¬ sponding to the call of the country for defenders. April 12th had heard the first gun at Fort Sum¬ ter; April 13tli had witnessed the surrender of the fort; April 14th, Abraham Lincoln had issued

Minnesota, one of the youngest daughters in the family of states, comes to the front in April, and organizes her first regiment. Indeed, this regiment did not furnish places enough for men, wishing to enlist as privates, to show their patri¬ otism. The country was electrified by seeing this regiment of stalwart men, moving to the front in June, coming from a state of which many citi¬ zens had not even heard, whose record was yet to be made. This young state was not oidy quick to respond to the demand for men, under the en¬ thusiasm that pervaded the country during the earlier stages of the war, but she held out to the last with her quota, through all the dark days that followed.

When it was ascertained that 75,000 men would not accomplish it, successive calls were made - for 300,000, 300,000 500,000, etc., until, at last, a grand total of nearly 3,500,000 had been furnished to do what it was anticipated a handful of men could accomplish in a few weeks.

Minnesota followed up these successive de¬ mands, until the. very Indians thought her terri¬ tory was nearly depleted of fighting men, and assailed her unprotected settlers. War was thus brought to her own doors, in forms more dreadful than at Antietam or Gettysburg. The records will show how well the state behaved under the fiery ordeal of war. It belongs to us only to transcribe to these pages the roll of honor of the county, hoping to assist in immortalizing the names of the patriotic and brave defenders of our flag. Here they are, rank and file. Honor them all.

First Regiment Infantry

Company B. First Infantry, was raised in Washington county by Captain C. A. Bromley, and under the call of President Lincoln for 75,000 volunteers for three months' service, were mus¬ tered in April 29th, 1861, at Fort Snelling.

The war department refusing to receive them for three months, it become necessary to re-enlist for three years; the company consisted of upwards of one hundred men. They were first ordered to Fort Ridgely, to relieve the regulars stationed at that point, and remained there till June, when they returned to Fort Snelling on the steamer Northern Belle, exciting universal admiration for their soldierly appearance. Uniting with their regiment at the fort, they left for Washington, June 22d; arriving at the latter place, they re¬ mained a few days, then went on to Alexandria.

Participated in the battle of Bull Run, which took place July 21st, at which they received their baptism of fire, losing several killed and wounded; they soon after returned to Washington.

In August, 1861, were ordered to Edwards' Ferry, on the upper Potomac, where they re¬ mained till the following March. They then took part in the Winchester expedition, under General Banks.but when within sightof Winchester, turned and marched back to Alexandria. In April, 1862, was ordered to the Peninsula, and camped at York town, where they remained until its evacu¬ ation by the rebels, May 7th, 1862, then went up York river and took part in the battle of West Point; thence across the country to Chickahoming river, where the noted "Sumner's Grapevine Bridge" was built, chiefly by this company; it proved afterward the salvation of Keyes' corps, at the battle of Seven Pines, May 30th.

June 1, took part in the battle of Fair Oaks, and after the battles of Gaine's Mill and Mechanicsville, fell back and took part in the battles of Peach Orchard and Savage Station, on June 29th. Then crossed White Oak swamp and took part in the battles of Glendale and Nelson's Farm, on June 30th, thence to Malvem Ilill, and July 1st, engaged in that fight. The regiment was then or¬ dered to Harrison's Landing, where they were allowed a month of comparative quiet, but in August they were again on the march to Chain Bridge, where they remained one day, thence by a forced march for the second battle of Bull Run. Arriving at Centerville, they remained over night, and the next morning moved out on a reconnoisance, thence back to Centreville and from there to Fairfax Court House.

Here they were ordered to retreat towards Washington, and occupied the unenviable posi¬ tion of rear guard on the Vienna road during the retreat. Arriving in Washington, they laid in Tanuerly Town a few days, when they were or¬ dered to Frederick City, and thence across the country, and took part in the battle of South Mountain; thence on to Antietam. and were en¬ gaged in the battle at that place, September 17th, in which the company suffered quite severely. Laid on the field of battle several days after the fight; then moved down to Harper's Ferry where they laid in camp a few weeks. The next move was up the London valley, and encamped at Fal mouth till December 13th, when they were en¬ gaged in the first battle of Fredericksburg, where they were under artillery fire all day. After the battle they returned to their old quarter's at Fal¬ mouth where they remained all winter. In May, 1863, they crossed the river, and under General Sedgwick assisted in the capture of Fredericks¬ burg, May 3d, and held it till Hooker's defeat, when they were compelled to abandon the con¬ quest and recross the river, encamping directly opposite Fredericksburg. There they remained till June, when they took up the line of march through Virginia, via Stafford Court House, Opequau creek and Centreville, crossing the river at Edward's Ferry to Frederick City, thence by a forced march of thirty-five miles to Union Town and from there to Gettysburg, where on the even¬ ing of July 2d they were engaged in the battle. Of the one hundred strong and stout-hearted sons of Washington county who bade farewell to home and friends at the head of Lake St. Croix on that April morning over two years be¬ fore, by reason of sickness, shot and shell only thirty-five answered to the roll-call on the eve of that battle, and of these, twenty-two of the bravest were laid low during the first fifteen minutes. On the next day the little remnant of this com¬ pany was engaged in the famous charge of Pickett, of Longstreet's corps, and at the close of the fight but one sergeant, two corporals and three privates were lit for duty. But those slightly wounded fell in with their comrades in pursuit of the retreating Lee. They were then ordered to New York city to assist in quelling the draft riots, and afterwards took part in Gen. Meade's "Mine River Campaign," and from thence to Washington, and on the way were en¬ gaged m the battle of Bristow Station. Re¬ mained in Washington till February, 1864, when the surviving few, on account of patriotism and courage, were given a banquet and reception and sent to Fort Snelling to be mustered out, which was done May 6th, 1864.

On the return of Company B, April 25th, 1864, a committee of ladies was appointed to make ar¬ rangements for a fitting reception. It was a cold day, but a large number of citizens resi>onded to the call. The company was met at the city limits by the mayor and common council, and a large concourse of citizens. Upon arrival at the Myrtle street church the company was hailed by three times three by the crowd , composed of al¬ most every inhabitant of Stillwater and adjacent country. Applause greeted them at almost every step.

A triumphal arch was erected across Main street at the foot of Chestnut, and beautifully decorated with flags and evergreens, and bearing the names of twenty-one hard fought battles in which these brave men had won glory for them¬ selves and the state of their adoption.

As the veterans passed through the arch, the shout of the assembled people swelled to it? ut¬ most volume, bearing accents of true loyalty; but the most hearty welcome, that which best com¬ pensated for the hardships and privations of a soldier's life, was witnessed at the St. Croix house, where the ladies of the city had prepared a sumptuous repast. All anus being disposed of and breaking ranks, the soldiers mingled with their relatives and more immediate acquaintances.

The dining room of the hotel was nicely deco¬ rated with wreaths of evergreen and with the names of battles in which the Fi ret and Second regiments had participated. Thirteen girls, taste¬ fully adorned with stripes and stare, and repre¬ senting the thirteen original states, acted as waiters. The tables were decorated with two magnificent pyramids prepared by Mrs. Governor Holcombe and Mrs. Captain A. J. Van Vorhes, bearing the mottoes: "The Minnesota First, the Bravest of the Brave." "Welcome Home." "In Memory of the Honored Dead of Company B."
