notes.--Organized in September, 1862, as one of the regiments for
Roy Stone's Bucktail Brigade.
Langhorne Wister, an officer in the old Bucktails, was appointed
Colonel.
Upon its arrival at
Washington the regiment was ordered on guard duty in and about the city.
Company K was stationed at the
Soldier's Home,
Mr. Lincoln's summer residence, where it remained on duty as a body-guard to the
President during its entire term of service, the One Hundred and Fiftieth, consequently, taking only nine companies to the field; its percentage of killed was far above the average, although the number killed was not numerically large.
At
Gettysburg the regiment took 417 officers and men into action, losing 29 killed, 151 wounded, and 84 missing; total, 264.
Both
Wister and
Huidekoper were severely wounded in that battle, the latter losing an arm; the regiment was in
Stone's Brigade of
Doubleday's Division, and fought on the
Chambersburg Pike in the first day's battle; it was ably handled by its field officers, and rendered good service.
Stone's Brigade was transferred in 1864 to the Fifth Corps, and placed in
Wadsworth's (4th) Division.
In June it was transferred to
Griffin's (1st) Division.
Col. Stone was disabled in the
battle of the Wilderness, and was succeeded in his command of the brigade by
General Bragg of
Wisconsin, an able and gallant officer of the famous Iron Brigade.
The One Hundred and Fiftieth fought its last battle on February 5, 1865, at Dabney's Mills.
It was then ordered to
Elmira, in company with the One Hundred and Forty-ninth, where it performed guard duty at the prison camp until mustered out.
