Book Description
Excerpt from Our Campaigns or the Marches, Bivouacs, Battles, Incidents of Camp Life and History of Our Regiment During Its Three Years Term of Service The object in writing this volume, is to give in a clear and lucid manner the history of The Second Regiment Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps, and an insight into the life of a soldier. To connect it properly with the movements of the army, it is deemed necessary briefly to sketch the campaigns of the "Army Of The Potomac," under Generals McClellan, Burn-Side, Hooker, Meade and Grant, from its formation until June, 1864, when the regiment's term of three years expired and it was mustered out. The short, arduous and decisive campaign of "The Army of Virginia" under General Pope, is also sketched." The Author's journal, kept on the field, and his "Picket" letters in the Sunday Transcript, written on the spot with the official reports of Commanders, furnish the material. If the recital of the incidents of the camps, the marches, the bivouacs, the battles and the joys, the sorrows, the pleasures, the sufferings, the glories and the defeats, will revive in the memory of the participants, the scenes gone by, or interest the reader, it will be the highest source of gratification to the author.

Book Description
Excerpt from Diary of Battles, Marches and Incidents of the Seventh S. C. Regiment, 1862 Four hours, and we are approaching Yorktown, celebrated in history for deeds of valor done, which crowned our first Revolution with victory, and taught a powerful and proud nation that "the race is not to the swift, nor the, battle to the strong." As we near the landing we view with scorn the gunboats of the enemy riding the waves, though at a very respectable distance from our huge guns, which bristle along the breastworks. Occasional shots are interchanged, and some shells fall in dangerous proximity to the transports discharging their precious living freight, which seem to produce nothing more than some amusing remark from some witty soldier. We ascend the heights to the town. Alas! the desolating track of war meets the eye on all sides in smouldering ruins, lonely chimneys and deep entrenchments. Ah! McClellan, you could never have reduced this place by approaching in front, had not your gunboats, aided by the James and York rivers, given you such facilities for flanking it. Hence Gen. Johnston, properly ordered a retreat in the direction of Richmond, where he could draw you out from the shelter of your boasted power, and fight your mercenary nirelings in open field, where Southern patriots, armed with the triple armor of justice, could defeat your motley crew of foreigners and oath-breaking Yankees. Our regiment being sent to guard Dam No.1, here we are kept in almost a constant state of excitement. The Warwick river, a small stream running into the James, had been enlarged by damming it up every few miles, to prevent the enemy crossing. This was done by Gen. Magruder, who had command of the Peninsula, before the arrival of the army of the Potomac, under Johnston. The enemy attempted to cross once, and were driven back with slaughter by the3d Georgia regiment. The pickets at night would fire at the least noise in the water, and one rainy night our regiment was double-quicked to the river, by the continued volleys of musketry, when it was thought afterwards, instead of Yankees, some sentinel had fired at noises made by frogs. It having been determined to fall back, we found it necessary to make a feint to cover the retreat, and while the wagon trains and main army were being hurried off, the 7th and 3d S. C. regiments were sent down to Lands End, junction of Warwick and James rivers. We went down 30 th April; on the opposite side of the river the Yankees were thrown into activity at our approach. We were strung out, and built large camp fires through the woods, making the appearance of a large force. About dark, with our fires lighting up the whole face of the heavens, we were silently withdrawn, and ordered back to camps. We had scarcely left our illuminated camps when the enemy began to shell them furiously, which occasioned many a merry laugh.
