CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: This is a fine and detailed history of a regiment that saw significant combat during the war. The 148th Pennsylvania was with the Army of the Potomac, and engaged in their actions from Chancellorsville and Gettysburg to Appomattox. The editor lists 38 engagements from 1863 to the end of the war, and the regiment was present at the official surrender by General Robert E. Lee's Confederate troops at Appomattox Court House on April 12, 1865. They lost 12 officers and 198 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded and 4 officers and 183 enlisted men to disease during the Civil War. They later participated in the Presidential Grand Review of the Army of the Potomac in Washington, DC, on May 22-23, 1865. Interestingly, part of the regiment was armed with breech-loading rifles during the Siege of Petersburg in October, 1864. Recognized as a FOX 300 Fighting Regiment.

FOX 300 pg 302.
