Two Hundred and First Regiment
Regimental History The regiment was recruited at Harrisburg, for one years service in
compliance with an order of Governor Curtin, of the 29th of July, 1864,
issued under the call of the President of July 18th, for five hundred
thousand men. With the exception of a part of company K, recruited
in Franklin County, and squadrons from Duncannon and Fairview, in the
counties of Perry and Cumberland, the men were from Dauphin County. Of the
ten regiments required from Pennsylvania, under this call, this was the
first ready for duty, its ranks having been filled to the maximum strength
in less than thirty days. The men rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, where they
were organized in companies, clothed, armed, and equipped, and on the 29th
of August, a regimental organization was effected, with the following
field officers: F. Asbury Awl, Colonel; J. Wesley Awl, Lieutenant Colonel;
John T. Morgan, Major. The field officers had all served in the One
Hundred and Twenty-seventh Regiment, and large numbers of the line
officers and men had previously been in the field. Immediately after its
organization, it proceeded to Chambersburg and went into camp five miles
from the town, near the point where the pike crosses Back Creek. It was
here schooled and regularly drilled, and on the 12th, started on a three
days' march for exercise. On the 17th of September, company H was ordered
to York, for duty at the general hospital established there, and on the
same day, companies F and C, were ordered to Bloody Run, and upon their
arrival reported to General O. S. Ferry, in command of the Juniata
District. |
