67th Pennsylvania Infantry Ladder Badge

SOLD!!!
A great 4 piece ladder badge worn by a veteran of the 67th Pennsylvania Infantry.  Written on the four bars is "Co. E - 67 - Pennsylvania - Vol. Inf.".
 
Sixty-seventh Infantry. — Cols., John F. Staunton, Harry White, John C. Carpenter ; Lieut.-Cols., Horace B. Burnham, Harry White, John C. Carpenter, Peter Marsh; Majs., Harry White, John F. Young, John C. Carpenter, Samuel McHenry. The 67th was raised from the state at large, rendezvoused at Philadelphia and was slowly mustered into the U. S. service from Aug. 28, 1861, to March 31, 1862, for three years. On April 3, 1862, it left the state for Baltimore and proceeded thence to Annapolis, Md., where it remained until in Feb., 1863, engaged in provost guard duty, and various special duties connected with the post. It then moved to Harper's Ferry, where it performed garrison and guard duty for a few weeks ; was then transferred to Berryville and assigned to the 3d brigade of Gen. Milroy's command, under Col. McReynolds. The brigade was especially charged with the duty of keeping open communications with Harper's Ferry, guarding the passes of the Blue ridge and the fords of the Shenandoah river. In the engagement at Winchester in June, 1863, in attempting to cut its way through the overwhelming forces of the enemy under Ewell and Longstreet, all except about 75 men of the command were captured. After an imprisonment of two months, they were paroled and returned to Annapolis. The portion of the regiment which escaped capture was assigned to Gen. Elliott's brigade, 3d division, 3d corps, and was occupied in fortifying Maryland heights until June 30, when the works were dismantled, the 67th moved to Washington, and a little later with its division joined the Army of the Potomac at Frederick. The paroled members were exchanged and returned to the regiment on Oct. 11. It shared the fortunes of the 3d corps in the campaigns of the fall and early winter of 1863 and went into winter quarters at Brandy Station. Many of the men reenlisted for another three years' term, but so many members had joined the command at a late date, it was not entitled to a veteran furlough under the regulations established. Nevertheless, 350 veterans were allowed a furlough in a body by Gen. Meade and the balance of the command, numbering about 200 men, was temporarily attached to the 135th Pa. At the expiration of the furlough, the regiment reported to Gen. Abercrombie at Belle Plain and early in June was posted at White House, where it was engaged in a skirmish with the enemy's cavalry, and a few days later fought at Charles City Court House. Soon after this the 67th rejoined its brigade near the Yellow house before Petersburg and the men with the 135th returned to their own regiment. With the 6th corps it shared in the descent on the Weldon railroad ; next proceeded with the 3d division to Baltimore on the occasion of Gen. Early's movement against Washington ; arrived too late to share in the battle of Monacacy, but served as rear guard to Ricketts' retiring column ; and during the rest of the summer it shared in the operations of the army under Gen. Wright. It was with Sheridan at the Opequan, Fisher's hill and Cedar creek, losing in the last named action 48 killed and wounded out of about 150 men engaged. It remained in the valley until near the close of the year; then rejoined the army before Petersburg; had its full share in all the subsequent operations of the 6th corps up to the surrender of Lee at Appomattox ; then marched with a portion of the army to Danville; after the surrender of Gen. Johnston it returned to Washington and was there mustered out on July 14, 1865.

Sixteenth Infantry. — Cols., Asa W. Wildes, Charles W. Tilden; Lieut.-Cols., Charles W. Tilden, Augustus B. Farnham; Majs., Augustus B. Farnham, Archibald D. Leavitt, Abner R. Small. The recruits for this regiment were rendezvoused at Augusta during the months of May, June and July, and the regiment was mustered into the U. S. service on Aug. 14, 1862, to serve for three years. The regiment left for Washington on the 19th with 38 commissioned officers and 944 enlisted men, and remained encamped there until Sept. 7, when it proceeded to Rappahannock Station as a part of Taylor's brigade, Hooker's corps. Here it was transferred to Duryea's brigade of Reynolds' corps. It had left camp at Fort Tillinghast, near Washington, in light marching order and during the next two months the men suffered terribly from the lack of sufficient clothing and camp equipage. By the middle of October the regiment had dwindled to less than 700 men, and of these 250 were at one time on the sick list. Even medicines for the sick were lacking and the hardships endured by these men, so recently taken from the peaceful walks of life, can never be told. Finally, at the end of October, they drew shoes and shelter tents, Nov. 27 (Thanksgiving day), their knapsacks and overcoats arrived from Washington. The self-respect of the men was now restored and a better feeling took the place of the old despondency. The loss the regiment suffered in its first serious battle tells the story of its valor. About 450 men were engaged at Fredericksburg on Dec. 13, 1862, and 226 of this number was either killed, wounded or missing. Said Gen. Burnside, who commanded that day: "Whatever honor we can claim in that contest was won by Maine men." The regiment again lost heavily at Gettysburg, when, at the close of the terrible three days' fighting, all that remained of 248 officers and men, who entered the battle, were 2 officers and 15 enlisted men. Besides the battles above mentioned, the list of engagements in which this regiment bore an honorable part would include, Chancellorsville, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, where it lost nearly 100 men, Laurel Hill, losing nearly 50 men. North Anna river, Totopotomy, Bethesda Church, Petersburg, Weldon railroad, Hatcher's run, losing 3 killed, 60 wounded and 11 missing, Gravelly run, losing 29 men, and the South Side railroad. It joined in the pursuit of Lee's forces to Appomattox Court House, after which it returned to Washington, D. C, where it was mustered out on June 5, 1865, and the next day the men were en route for the state rendezvous at Augusta where they were finally paid and discharged. The regiment had received about 800 recruits and in addition the 2nd company of unassigned infantry, organized at Augusta, Me., Sept. 23, 1864, to serve for one year, joined the regiment and was assigned as Co. A. The officers and men whose term of service did not expire before Oct. 1, 1865, were transferred to the 20th Me.

22nd Massachusetts Infantry - Wilson's Regiment - Regimental Badge

SOLD!!!
A very nice badge worn by a veteran of the 22nd Massachusetts Infantry.  The badge has two pieces.  The hanger is a bar with "Wilson Regiment" surrounded by blue enamel.  It is missing some of the enamel between the "N' and the "R".  The drop, in the shape of the Fifth Corps emblem, has red enamel on it for the 1st Division.  A  "Mass. 22 Inf." is in the center of the badge.  Below the "@@" is "3d Batt." and above the "22" is "2d S.S."( for 2nd Sharp Shooters).  The pin on the back is a "T bar" pin.

The 22nd was formed by then Senator Henry Wilson (later Grant's Vice-President) in the Fall of 1861. It was unusual in that there was a sharpshooter unit, the 2nd Andrew's Sharpshooters, and an artillery unit, the 3rd Massachusetts Light Artillery, attached to the regiment. This was because Senator Wilson originally started to form a Brigade but, due to an urgent need for troops, he only formed a Regiment.

The regiment was formed in Boston, Massachusetts and established on September 28, 1861 for a term of three years.

Arriving in Washington in October 1861, the regiment spent the following winter in camp at Hall's Hill, Virginia. It became part of the Army of the Potomac, with which it would be associated for its entire term of service. The regiment saw its first action during the Siege of Yorktown in April 1862. It was involved in the Peninsular Campaign, particularly the Battle of Gaines' Mill during which it suffered its worst casualties (numerically) of the war. Their worst casualties in terms of percentages took place during the Battle of Gettysburg (60 percent). The 22nd Massachusetts was present for virtually all of the major battles in which the Army of the Potomac fought, including the Second Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Antietam, the Battle of Fredericksburg, the Battle of Chancellorsville, the Battle of Gettysburg and Lt. Gen. Ulysses Grant's Overland Campaign. The 22nd was especially proficient in skirmish drill and was frequently deployed in that capacity throughout the war.

The batteries later became the 7th and 8th independent batteries and the cavalry part of the 1st mounted rifles. Co. L was the 5th company of N. Y. sharpshooters. The men were mainly from Orange, Sullivan and Ulster counties and were mustered into the U. S. service at Newburgh, Oct. 28, 1861, for three years. The regiment left for Washington on Nov. 7, 1861, was there assigned to the 1st brigade, Casey's division, and served in the vicinity of Washington until March, 1862. In the opening of the spring campaign, the regiment, as part of the 1st brigade, 2nd division, 4th corps, participated in the siege of Yorktown and was present without loss at Williams-burg, Savage Station and Bottom's bridge. At Fair Oaks the loss of the command was heavy—66 killed and wounded and 5 missing. In June the brigade, in Peck's division of the 4th corps, was present during "the Seven Days' battles but not closely engaged, and after the battle of Malvern hill was withdrawn to Yorktown. In December the brigade under Naglee was assigned to the 18th corps and reached South Carolina early in Jan., 1862. The regiment served about Charleston, was active in the siege of Fort Wagner in July, 1863, and the subsequent operations in the vicinity. It was assigned to the 1st brigade. 3d division, 18th corps, in March, 1863, and transferred to the l0th corps in October. While with the 18th corps it was stationed on Folly island and at Beaufort. In the. summer of 1864, the regiment was stationed at James island; lost 50 men in an engagement at Honeyhill; was active at Coosawhatchie and Boyd's point in December, and shared in the operations at Deveaux neck, S. C., during the same month with considerable loss. The original members not reenlisted were mustered out at the expiration of the terrn of enlistment and the regiment remained in the Department of the South, serving in the coast division during the winter of 1864-65 and at Charleston from March, 1865 to Oct. 17, 1865, when it was mustered out. The regiment lost during its term of service 64 by death from wounds and 216 from other causes.

This regiment, recruited in the counties of Ontario, Seneca and Yates, was organized at Geneva and there mustered into the U. S. service on Sept. 14, 1862, for three years. It left the state on the 22nd and was chiefly engaged in garrison duty at Suffolk, Norfolk and Yorktowii, Va., until 1864, when it was placed in Wistar's division, 18th corps. In May, 1864, then in the 2nd (Stedman's) brigade, 2nd (Weitzel's) division, 18th corps, it took part in the short campaign of the Army of the James under Gen. Butler against Petersburg and Richmond by way of the James river, being engaged at Swift creek, Proctor's creek, Drewry's bluff and Bermuda Hundred. Its loss during this campaign was 78 in killed, wounded and missing. The 18th corps was then ordered to reinforce the Army of the Potomac and the 148th was heavily engaged at Cold Harbor, losing 124 killed, wounded and missing. Returning with the corps to Bermuda Hundred, it moved to Petersburg and took part in the first bloody assault on the works, losing 16 killed, 74 wounded and 26 missing. After the failure of the assaults, the regiment went into position in the trenches on the right of the line, where it suffered daily from the incessant firing, its losses throughout the siege amounting to 124 killed, wounded and missing. In the latter part of August the 18th corps was relieved by the 10th, and the former was ordered into the defenses of Bermuda Hundred. In the latter part of September the regiment was engaged at Fort Harrison with a loss of 24 killed and wounded, and in October it was heavily engaged on the old battlefield of Fair Oaks, where it lost 84 killed, wounded and missing. When the 18th corps was discontinued in Dec., 1864, the 148th became a part of the new 24th corps, with which it participated in the Appo-mattox campaign, sharing in the final assault on Petersburg and the engagements at Rice's station, Burke's station and Appomattox Court House. The regiment by its signal gallantry displayed on many occasions had gained a well earned reputation for courage and efficiency. Corp. E. Van Winkle and privates Henry S. Wells and George A. Buchanan distinguished themselves at Fort Harrison and were the recipients of medals of honor from the war department. The regiment was mustered out on June 22, 1865, at Richmond, Va., under command of Col. Murray. It lost by death during its term of service 4 officers and 95 men killed and mortally wounded; 2 officers and 156 men died of disease and other causes, a total of 267.
