McKean, Wellington H. Ent, William D. Dickson; Majs., Henry J. Madill,
Wellington H. Ent, William H. H. Gore. The 35th, the 6th of the
reserves, composed of men from all parts of the state, was ordered with
the Kane rifles to Maryland, then to Greencastle, Pa., Washington and
Tennallytown. It was mustered in at Washington for three years on July
27, and at Tennallytown was assigned to the 3d brigade of the reserve
corps. This brigade won the brilliant victory at Dranesville in December
and passed an uneventful winter in camp near Langley. It took part in
the strategic movements on the Peninsula in the spring of 1862 and was
actively engaged at the second Bull Run, South mountain, Antietam and
Fredericksburg, where the losses of the 35th were severe. It then went
into camp near Belle Plain ; took part in the "Mud March ;" was ordered
to Alexandria in Feb., 1863, and to Fairfax Station in March, where it
remained until the Gettysburg campaign. It was closely engaged in that
battle, joined in the pursuit of the enemy and the various marches of
the army during the autumn, and went into winter quarters at Kettle Run
early in December. In the spring of 1864 it participated in the
engagements of the Wilderness campaign in May and fought its final
battle at Bethesda Church. After that engagement the regiment started
for Harrisburg, where it was mustered out on June 11, 1864, the veterans
and recruits being transferred to the 191st Pa. infantry. |
