TWO HUNDRED and SECOND INFANTRY¬Ý

(One Year)¬Ý

Two Hundred and Second Infantry. - Col., Charles Albright;

Lieut.-Col., John A. Maus; Maj., Walter H. Seip. This regiment¬Ý

from the counties of Carbon, Juniata, Adams, Northumberland,¬Ý

Lehigh, Northampton, Cumberland; Union and Huntingdon, was¬Ý

mustered into the U. S. service at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg,¬Ý

during the last week of August and the first week of Sept.,¬Ý

1864, for a term of one year. Col. Albright had served as¬Ý

colonel of the 132nd infantry and a few of the other officers¬Ý

and men had been in the service. The regiment did not join the¬Ý

army at the front, but was employed during most of its term in¬Ý

the laborious but non-heroic duty of guarding railroads. Its¬Ý

first post of duty was on the Manassas Gap railroad from Thor-

oughfare gap to Rectortown. On the conclusion of Sheridan's¬Ý

campaign in the Shenandoah Valley it retired to Alexandria and¬Ý

guarded the Orange & Alexandria railroad from Bull Run to Alex-

andria, with headquarters at Fairfax Station. Near the end of¬Ý

May, 1865, it was ordered to Philadelphia, whence it was sent¬Ý

into the anthracite coal regions of the state, with headquar-

ters at Tamaqua, and served by detachments at various points,

Col. Albright, who had been brevetted brigadier-general, being¬Ý

placed in command of the district. At the end of July, the¬Ý

regiment assembled in Harrisburg, where it was mustered out an¬Ý

Aug. 3, 1865.¬Ý
