notes.--The One Hundred and Sixth was a
St. Lawrence county regiment, organized at
Ogdensburg, N. Y. It was mustered into the
United States service on August 27, 1862, for three years. In September, 1862, it was ordered to
New Creek, W. Va. Companies D and F were captured, April 29, 1863, at
Fairmont, W. Va., where they defended a railroad bridge for several hours against a large force of Confederates.
The captured men were immediately released on parole.
The regiment left
North Mountain, June 13, 1863, and, with the other troops in that vicinity, retired before the advance of
Lee's army.
It joined the Army of the Potomac, July 10, 1863, while near
Frederick, Md., and with other new material was organized as the Third Division (
Carr's) of the Third Corps.
This division was transferred, in March, 1864, to the Sixth Corps, and its command given to
General Ricketts.
While in the Sixth Corps the regiment saw hard service and almost continuous fighting.
At Cold Harbor it lost 23 killed, 88 wounded, and 23 missing,--
Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Townsend and three other officers being among the killed.
The Corps was ordered soon after to
Maryland, where, at the
battle of Monocacy, the regiment sustained another severe loss.
It was actively engaged in the Shenandoah Valley, in all the battles of the
Corps, and then, returning to
Petersburg, participated in the final campaign.
At
Spotsylvania the casualties in the regiment aggregated 6 killed and 32 wounded; at the
Opequon, 6 killed, 45 wounded, and 3 missing; and at
Cedar Creek, 8 killed and 45 wounded.
General Richetts was wounded at
Cedar Creek, after which the division was commanded by
General Seymour.
