159th Regiment
14th Cavalry Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers
Armstrong Co., in The War of the Rebellion

On the 18th of August, 1862, James N. Schoonmaker, a citizen of Pittsbur g, and at the time a Lieutenant in the First Maryland Cavalry, received au thority from the Secretary of War, Mr. Stanton, sanctioned by Governor Cur tin, to recruit a battalion of cavalry, of five companies. So rapidly we re the ranks filled, that on the 29th, the authority was extended to the r ecruiting of a full regiment of twelve companies. Recruits were principal ly from the counties of Allegheny, Fayette, Armstrong, Washington, Lawrenc e, Erie, and Warren, and from the city of Philadelphia, and rendezvouse d, first at Camp Howe, and subsequently at Camp Montgomery, near the ci ty of Pittsburg. At the latter camp, the issue of horses, arms, and equipm ents was commenced, but before it was completed, an order was received dir ecting that all horses and equipments issued should be at once forward ed to the chief quartermaster of the Army of the Potomac, the battle of An tietam having been fought two days previous. On the 24th of November, t he organization of the regiment was completed, and the following field off icers were commissioned: James M. Schoonmaker, Colonel; William Blakele y, Lieutenant Colonel; Thos. Gibson, Shadrack Foley, and John M. Daily, Ma jors. On the same day, it moved for Hagerstown, Maryland, where horses, ar ms and accoutrements were received, and drill in the school of trooper, mo unted and dismounted, of the platoon, and squadron, and in evolutions of t he line, was prosecuted the 28th of December, the regiment moved to Harp er 's Ferry, and went into camp on the Charlestown Pike, the advance po st of General Kelly's command. It was here actively engaged in picketing a ll the approaches from the south and east, and scouting the region on bo th sides of the Shenandoah River, extending far into the passes of the Bl ue Ridge, and occasionally skirmishing with the guerrilla bands of White a nd Imboden. Early in May, 1863, the regiment, with the exception of a deta chment of dismounted men, under command of Major Foley, left at Harper's F erry, was sent to Grafton, on the Parkersburg division of the Baltimore a nd Ohio Railroad, where it was attached to the mounted command of Gener al Averell, in which it was associated with the Fifth and Sixth West Virgi nia Mounted Infantry, a battalion of the Third West Virginia Cavalry, t wo Independent Cavalry companies, Ewing's Battery, and the Twenty-eighth O hio, and Tenth Virginia Infantry. For a time, the command was engaged in h olding the towns of Phillippi, Beverly, and Webster, against a body of t he enemy's cavalry, hovering upon the rear guard of his infantry column, w hich had made a raid upon the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and had escap ed before pursuit from the force stationed at Grafton could be made. The c ommand was finally assembled at Beverly. Leaving here the Tenth Virgini a, and Ewing's Battery, Averell led the rest of his command to Webster, a nd sent the Fourteenth to Phillippi. On the 2d of July, intelligence was r eceived that the force at Beverly was surrounded by a brigade of the ene my under "Mudwall" Jackson, and the Fourteenth Cavalry was ordered to ma ke a forced march for its relief. In the absence of the Colonel and Lieute nant Colonel, the regiment moved under command of Major Gibson. The ene my had the main road obstructed by barricades and fallen trees, behind whi ch was concealed a heavy body of sharpshooters. Major Gibson, who was fami liar with the country, led his command by a circuitous route, in the mi st of the morning, and appeared on the plain opposite the town, with skirm ishers deployed right and left, cutting off and capturing the rebel picket s, and compelling the entire hostile force to withdraw. The commanda nt of the post, Colonel Harris, of the Tenth Virginia, refused to ord er a pursuit, but on the evening of the 3d, General Averell came up, and d irected an immediate advance. On the morning of the 4th, the hostile for ce was overtaken at Huttonville, and brisk skirmishing ensued, in which t he regiment lost three wounded. The enemy was driven, and retreated beyo nd Cheat Mountain. At evening of the 4th, information that a battle w as in progress at Gettysburg was received, and the command, under Colon el Schoonmaker, was ordered to march at once to Webster, and thence to mo ve by rail to Cumberland. At the latter place, it re-joined General Kel ly 's forces, and after a few days delay, proceeded to Williamsport, formi ng a junction there with the Army of the Potomac, on the 14th, the day fol lowing that on which Lee made good his escape across the Potomac. On the m orning of the 15th, the regiment moved up to Cherry Run, and crossing t he river, now swollen by heavy rains, marched to within five miles of {Mar tinsburg, where the rebel army was encamped. Encountering the enemy's pick ets, Colonel Schoonmaker was ordered to attack and ascertain his strengt h. This was promptly done, and his out-posts driven in upon the main bod y, with a loss of five wounded, returning at night to the Maryland sid e. A few days later it again crossed, and advanced to Winchester. Here t he detachment which had been left at Harper's Ferry, on the opening of t he campaign, joined it, having, in the meantime, done excellent service wi th French's column, destroying the enemy's pontoon bridge at Falling Water s, and capturing wagons, horses, and stores. On the 4th of August, Gener al Averell moved with his command on what was known as the Rocky Gap Rai d. When approaching Moorefield, Captain Kerr, with a detachment of about f ifty men, who had been ordered to move upon a mountain road to the left, a fter having captured some guerrillas, fell into an ambuscade, and though f ighting manfully, was worsted, having one killed, and three wounded, and m ade his escape with a fragment of his command with difficulty. Moving thro ugh Petersburg, and Franklin, continually skirmishing by the way, and driv ing Jackson in a brisk engagement at Warm Springs, the command, on the 20 th of August, encountered the rebel General Jones near the Greenbrier Whi te Sulphur Springs, and at once attacked. The Fourteenth, dismounted, he ld the right of the line, the battle raging with great fury until night-fa ll, the enemy contesting the ground stubbornly, but being pushed back abo ut three hundred yards. Three determined infantry charges of the enemy we re handsomely repulsed by the Fourteenth. During the night, skirmishing w as kept up, the enemy delivering an occasional volley. Assistance was mome ntarily expected from General Scamman, commanding in the Kanawha Valley, a nd who was supposed to be at Lewisburg, ten miles distant. The enemy was r einforced during the night, and the battle was renewed on the following mo rning, but no assistance coming, and the ammunition running low, a retre at was ordered. The loss in the Fourteenth was eighty, in killed, wounde d, and missing. Lieutenants James Jackson, John W. M'Nutt and Jacob Shoo p, were among the wounded, and Captains John Bird, and Robert Pollock, we re among the missing. The command reached Beverly on the 31st, having be en upon the march, or closely engaged for twenty-seven consecutive days, a nd traveled over six hundred miles. On the 1st of November, General Avere ll again led his command southward, on the Droop Mountain Raid. Crossing C heat Mountain, he reached Huntersville on the 4th, whence, detaching the F ourteenth Pennsylvania, and the Third West Virginia Cavalry, he sent th em by a detour from the main road on which he advanced, to out off a briga de of the enemy said to be stationed at Greenbrier Bridge, under comma nd of "Mudwall" Jackson. But both roads were found obstructed by felled tr ees, and the wily rebel made good his escape. At Droop Mountain, the Fourt eenth came up with the enemy, and drove him, with little opposition, to t he summit. Here he had intrenched, and was prepared with artillery to figh t; but by flanking the position with infantry, and pressing closely in fro nt with dismounted cavalry, he was driven with the loss of two pieces of a rtillery, and almost his entire train. Pursuit was closely pressed as f ar as Lewisburg, but the troops failed to overtake him. By easy marches, t he command returned to New Creek, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, wi th the expectation of going into winter quarters; but on the 8th of Decemb er, Averill was again in saddle, faced for Salem. By rapid marching, a pa rt of the time in the midst of heavy rains, he arrived at his destinati on on the 16th, and immediately commenced the work of destruction of the V irginia and Tennessee Railroad, and the immense stores of the rebel army t here collected. Several bridges, and miles of track were destroyed, and de pots, mill, and warehouse with grain, meat, salt, clothing and merchandis e, to the value, as was estimated, of from two to five millions of dollar s. Intelligence of this daring movement, and the immense destruction effec ted, soon spread, and the enemy, in heavy force, was moving on all sides f or Averill's capture. The retreat was, accordingly, commenced, and push ed with all celerity, though greatly delayed by heavy rains and swollen st reams. The enemy believed that the capture of the entire command was sur e, and he was already debating upon the kind of punishment that shou ld be meted out to it. By skillful demonstrations, the route of the colu mn was concealed, and Averill succeeded in eluding the hostile force s. "I was obliged," says Averell in his report, "to swim my command, and d rag my artillery with ropes across Craig's Creek, seven times in twenty-fo ur hours." The creek was deep, the current strong, and filled with drifti ng Ice. On the 20th, at Jackson River, the Fourteenth, while in rear, stru ggling with detrains, which could with difficulty be moved, the horses bei ng worn out with incessant marching, was cut off from the column by the de struction of the bridge, and was supposed, at headquarters, to have been c aptured. General Early had demanded its surrender under a flag of truce, b ut setting fire to the train, which was completely destroyed, it forded t he stream and made good its escape, re-joining the main column between Cal lahan's and White Sulphur Springs. That night the command swam the Greenbr ier, now swollen to a perfect torrent, and crossing the Allegheny Mountain s, by an old bridle path, moving the artillery by hand, it finally reach ed Hillsboro, at the foot of Droop Mountain, at midnight, and encamped. T he roads were now icy, the horses were smooth shod, and to ride was imposs ible. From this point to Beverly, where it arrived on the 25th, the cavalr ymen walked, leading their horses. Here, rations and supplies, much neede d, were received, and proceeding on to Webster, it moved by rail to Martin sburg, where it went into winter-quarters. The loss in killed, wounded, a nd missing, in the entire raid, was about fifty. Such was the severi ty of the weather during the concluding days of the campaign, that the me n, in marching over the frozen ground, had worn out their shoes completel y, and their clothing was in tatters, in many instances having been burn ed in huddling around the fires. In recognition of the great service whi ch the command had performed, the War Department ordered the issue of a co mplete suit of clothing to each member of the command, as a gift from t he government; the only instance, as is believed, of the kind during the w ar. In summing up the characteristics of the march, Averell says in his of ficial report," my command has marched, climbed, slidden, and swam, thr ee hundred and forty-five miles since the 8th inst." The service during t he winter was of an exceedingly arduous character, consisting of picket, g uard and scout duty, in which the men were kept incessantly employed. Aver ill's force was here increased to a full division, the First Brigade, in w hich was the Fourteenth, being placed under command of Colonel Schoonmake r. On the 12th of April, 1864, the entire command broke up winter-quarter s, and moved by rail to Parkersburg, on the Ohio river, whence it starte d, on the 2d of May, on a separate, but co-operative movement with Gener al Crook's command through West Virginian, to the Virginia and Tennessee R ailroad. As the command proceeded south, the roads were found to be much o bstructed, and frequent attacks were made upon the column by bushwhacker s. At Abbe Valley, near Jeffersonville, an entire company of the enemy w as captured. It had been the purpose of General Averill to have destroy ed the immense-salt works at Saltville, but anticipating his designs, t he enemy had posted a strong force for its defense, which was well intrenc hed, and supplied with artillery. Averell had no guns, and hence, deemi ng it imprudent to attack, moved on to form junction with Crook. But the e nemy had now concentrated a heavy force in his front, and at Co ve G p, on the morning of the 10th, attacked him. After four hours of ha rd fighting, in which the advantage was on the Union side, the enemy broug ht up artillery, and Averell was obliged to withdraw. The loss of the Four teenth in this engagement was twelve killed, and thirty-seven wounded. T he enemy was now in superior force, and daily growing stronger. Disappoint ed in the expectation of forming a junction with the column of Crook, t he command pushed on to Blacksburg, on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroa d, -destroying bridges and stores on the way, and finally came up with hi m: at Union, the united forces moving on to Lewisburg. Here, the two comma nds remained until the 3d of June, when they were ordered to Staunto n, to join the army of General Hunter, now moving on the Lynchburg campaig n. When the regiment started from winter-quarters in April, 1864, a detach ment of dismounted men was left at Martinsburg under command of Capta in A. F. Duncan. Before active operations commenced in the valley, Gener al Sigel, who was in chief command, had the detachment well armed and moun ted, and assigned to duty with General Stahll's Brigade. In the unfortuna te action at New Market, on the 15th of May, it was hotly engaged, losi ng several in killed and wounded, and having a large number of horses kill ed while under infantry fire. Falling back to Cedar Creek, it was re-mount ed, and again started under General Hunter, who had succeeded Sige l, on a second campaign up the valley. At Piedmont, on the 5th of June, th is detachment, which was in advance, encountered the enemy, driving in h is pickets and developing his strength, when it gave place to the infantr y. At a critical period in the battle, it advanced, dismounted, and carri ed an earthwork, taking some prisoners, and contributing largely to the tr iumph which was won, receiving the commendation of its superior officers f or gallantry. At Staunton the detachment re-joined the regiment, comi ng in from West Virginia with Averell and Crook, after having been separat ed from it for nearly two months. The united armies moved forward on the 9 th, and on the 10th the Union cavalry drove Imboden from Lexington, on t he 12th destroyed the buildings of the Virginia Military Institute, a nd on the 13th, moved to Buchanan, on the James River, skirmishing duri ng the entire day. The enemy had fired the bridge across the James, whi ch could not be saved; but the flames, which had spread to the town, we re checked by the resolute exertions of the men of the Fourteenth. Resti ng until the 15th, the column moved to New London, on the Virginia and Ten nessee Railroad, and thence eastwardly towards Lynchburg, destroying tra ck and bridges, and at a point four miles from the city, encountered the e nemy. Line of battle was immediately formed, the regiment on the left, a nd drove him back to his fortifications in front of the town, capturing so me prisoners and one gun. During the night following, the entire force ca me up and was formed for attack; but during the same night, General Earl y, with an entire corps from Lee's Army, had entered the place from the op posite side. An attack was made, and fighting was kept up during the enti re day following, but with little success, the defenses being amply manne d, and prepared with artillery to make a successful defense. Accordingl y, at night, Hunter gave the order to retire, Schoonmaker's brigade formi ng the rear guard. At Liberty, the enemy's advance came up and attacked. F or four hours this single brigade maintained the contest, holding h im in c heck until the main column was well on its way towards the Kanaw ha Valley. The loss in the regiment in the engagement, was six killed a nd eighteen wounded; the loss in the rest of the brigade being much more s evere. At a gap in the mountains north of Salem, Rosser's rebel cavalry su ddenly attacked and captured thirteen pieces. Schoonmaker's Brigade happen ing to be just at hand, was ordered in, and re-took the guns, with some pr isoners, sustaining a loss in the Fourteenth of two killed and six wounde d. Hastening forward over mountains and through valleys, parched by a summ er's sun, the army, after enduring untold suffering, finally reached Parke rsburg, whence it returned by rail to Martinsburg. Portions of the comman d, while upon the march to Parkersburg, were five days without food, and m any died from hunger. In the meantime, the rebel General Early had advanc ed down the Shenandoah Valley unopposed, crossed -into Maryland, and was n ow thundering at the gates of the Capital. Worn down with fighting, marchi ng, and untold sufferings and privations by the way, Hunter's forces we re in no condition for hard fighting. But Averell was not the leader to av oid an encounter when an enemy was to be fought, and accordingly attack ed the rebel troops at Winchester, on the 20th of July, and routed them, c apturing one General, one Colonel, and two hundred men, killing and woundi ng three hundred, and taking four guns and several hundred small arms. T he Fourteenth lost three men wounded. Four days later, the united comman ds of Averell and Crook were attacked by Early's combined forces, and driv en with severe loss, Colonel Mulligan, commanding a brigade, being kille d. The command fell back slowly towards the Potomac, contesting the grou nd stubbornly, and finally withdrew to Hagerstown. The enemy followed u p, swarmed across the Potomac, and a raiding party, under M'Causland, burn ed the town of Chambersburg. As the enemy advanced, Averell withdrew wi th his command to Greencastle. Major Gibson, who since early in July 1 86 3, had commanded an independent battalion of cavalry, composed of fo ur companies of the Third Virginia, and the Chicago Dragoons, Captain Juli us Jaehne, returned to duty in the regiment on the 29th, and was assign ed to command of the First Brigade, Captain Kerr leading the Fourteent h. As so on as the route of M'Causland from Chambersburg was known, Avere ll gave chase. Through M'Connellsburg, Hancock, where it was reinforced, B erkley Springs and Romney, the command pushed forward at headlong speed, a nd at Moorefield, on the South Branch of the Potomac, came up with the ene my. The charge was sounded, and " Chambersburg" was the battle cry. The Fo urteenth had the right of the first line, two companies, under Captain Ker r, moving by the flank upon the rebel headquarters. With a wild shout t he command moved forward, driving the enemy in confusion, and capturing t wo of his guns, the rebel General Johnson barely escaping with his life. F ollowing up the advantage, the command dashed across the stream, captur ed two more guns, four hundred and twenty prisoners, four hundred horse s, killing and wounding one hundred, and completely routing and dispersi ng the combined commands of M'Causland, Johnson, Gillmore, and M'Neill. T he loss in the Fourteenth was ten killed and twenty-five wounded. Capta in Kerr was among the severely wounded. The command returned to Martinsbur g, via New Creek, and Cumberland, where it remained for a few days, and th en retiring across the Potomac, guarded the fords, acting under the orde rs of General Sheridan, who, with his main army, was stationed at Berryvil le. In the operations of the cavalry during the first half of the mou th of September, the regiment participated, being almost daily engaged wi th the enemy, and losing a number in killed and wounded. On the 19th of Se ptember opened that series of brilliant engagements under Sheridan, in t he Shenandoah Valley, which will ever render his name illustrious. In t he battle which was delivered on that day, the enemy was driven at all poi nts. The Fourteenth, under command of Captain Duncan, was posted on the ex treme right of the cavalry division, and charged, with great heroism and d aring, an earthwork, which it captured. The loss was very severe, Capta in Duncan being among the killed. Three days afterward, the division ca me up with the retreating enemy at Fisher's Hill, where it demonstrated up on the front, while other troops moved upon his flanks, and again he was d riven in rout and confusion. The regiment suffered but small loss in th is engagement. Early was pursued as far as Harrisonburg, where his force h ad become so thoroughly disorganized and broken, that little was left to f ollow. From Harrisonburg, the cavalry moved to Wier's Cave, where, on t he 27th, the enemy under Fitz Hugh Lee attacked, and a spirited engageme nt ensued, in which the Fourteenth, by its gallantry, won an order which d irected Wier's Cave to be inscribed upon its flag. Until the battle of Ced ar Creek, on the 19th of October, the regiment was engaged in performing p icket duty on the left flank of the army. In that desperate engagemen t, a detachment under Captains Miles and Duff participated, doing excelle nt service. After the battle, the regiment was sent into the Luray Vall ey on a reconnaissance, where, on the 24th, it had a sharp encounter, taki ng some prisoners. It then returned to the neighborhood of Winchester, whe re it went into camp. The pickets of the command being much annoyed by sma ll parties of rebel cavalry, the division, under General Powell, on the 12 th of November, moved southward, and met the rebel General M'Causland at F ront Royal, and after a severe engagement drove him, capturing all his gu ns and supply trains. The loss in the Fourteenth was fifteen in killed a nd wounded. Upon its return to camp, the command went into winter-quarter s, and was engaged in severe picket and guard duty. Two expeditions undert aken during the winter, by detachments from the regiment, one under Capta in William W. Miles, on the 11th of December, to Millwood, and a second, u nder Major Gibson, on the 19th of February, 1865, to Ashby's Gap, result ed disastrously, the commands losing heavily in killed, wounded, and priso ners, Captain Miles being among the killed. Winter-quarters were brok en on the 4th of April, and the brigade moved up the valley to Cedar Cree k, but without meeting the enemy, and on the 6th, returned to Berryvill e, where it encamped. On the 18th, Lee in the meantime having surrendere d, the command proceeded to Millwood, where Moseby was met, and terms of h is surrender were settled. On the 20th, the regiment was ordered to Washin gton, and for nearly two months was encamped in the neighborhood of the ci ty, participating, in the meantime, in the grand review of the national ar mies. On the 11th of June, it was ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, but whi le on the way, its destination was changed to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. So on after its arrival at its destination, it was consolidated into a battal ion of six companies, all surplus officers being mustered out. Compa ny A, of the new command, under Captain Henry N. Harrison, was detail ed as escort to General Dodge, commanding the department, and accompani ed him on a tour of inspection, which extended to the Gunpowder Rive r. On the 24th of August, the companies remaining at the Fort were muster ed out of service, and returned in a body to Pittsburg, where they were di sbanded. Company A was mustered out on November 2d, soon after the retu rn from its tour.
