notes.--Six companies were recruited in
Erie County; the others, in
Western Pennsylvania.
Colonel Brown had already served with distinction in the Eighty-third Pennsylvania.
The regiment left the
State September 12th, arriving five days later on the field at
Antietam.
While at
Harper's Ferry it was assigned to
Caldwell's (1st) Brigade,
Hancock's (1st) Division, Second Corps.
At Fredericksburg it took eight companies into action, two companies having been detailed on the skirmish line.
The eight companies lost 34 killed, 152 wounded, and 43 missing; a total of 229 out of 505 in action; the missing ones were wounded or killed.
Nine of the line officers lost their lives in this bloody assault, and
Colonel Brown received a serious wound.
At
Chancellorsville,
Major John W. Patton was mortally wounded, and 112 of the men were captured at an outpost, having been left behind by the retreating army.
The regiment fought at
Gettysburg in the Fourth Brigade (
Brooke's), taking part in the famous contest in the wheat field, where, with about 200 men in line, its casualties amounted to 10 killed, 66 wounded, and 8 missing. During the winter of 1863-4 the One Hundred and Forty-fifth occupied a camp, well-built, which combined a neat, tasteful appearance with substantial warmth and comfort.
Fresh recruits were received and drilled, and it took the field in May, 1864, in efficient condition.
A large number of the men were captured at
Petersburg in June, 1864, which with previous losses left but few in line at the subsequent actions in which the
Division was engaged.
Its casualties at
Spotsylvania were 23 killed, 103 wounded, and 46 captured or missing.
