notes.--Recruited in
Western Pennsylvania in May, 1861, with rendezvous at
Pittsburg.
The men were of more than usual intelligence and education.
Company I was recruited from the students at Allegheny College,
Meadville, Pa., while Company D came from Jefferson College; the other companies were composed largely of similar material, teachers and pupils serving in the ranks together.
The regiment arrived at
Washington July 24, 1861, and joined the Reserves at their Camp of Instruction,
Tenallytown, Md. It participated in the brilliant success of
Ord's Brigade at
Dranesville, Va., December 20, 1861, and early in the following spring marched with the Reserves in the advance on
Manassas.
In June, 1862, the division under
General McCall was ordered to the
Peninsula where it was assigned to
General Fitz John Porter's Corps — the Fifth--and fought with
Porter at
Gaines's Mill.
The loss of the Tenth in that engagement was 23 killed, 86 wounded, and 25 missing; total, 134.
After leaving the
Peninsula, the Reserves rejoined the First Corps, but owing to their heavy losses in 1862, they were ordered soon after the
battle of Fredericksburg to return to
Washington that they might rest and recruit.
Hence, they were absent from
Chancellorsville; but when they heard that their native State was invaded, they petitioned for orders to march to its defence, and two) of the three brigades, accordingly, rejoined the army and fought at
Gettysburg.
