The 36th regiment was organized in the spring of 1861 under command
of Colonel Elisha B. Harvey of Wilkes-Barre. The men went to Camp

regiment remained at this camp till 21 Jul and then moved to
Washington D.C. going to Harrisburg first.
On the 27 of Jul on Meridian Hill they were mustered in for service
of three years. Marching to Tenallytown Md. on the 2 Aug they
encamped with the other regiments of the Reserve Division of
General McCall. They were then assigned duty in the Second Brigade
commanded by General George G. Meade.
On the 9 Oct the regiment marched out this camp and moved to Camp
Pierpont at Langley Va. and remained for the winter of 1861/62.
After marching on the 10 Mar 1862 to Manassas and finding the enemy
had withdrawn they marched back to the area of Alexandria and were

and after 3 charges suffered a loss of almost half of their members
as wounded or slain.

500 cattle took till night fall of the 29th. On the 39th they were
attacked and fought till nightfall. Over three hundred were killed,
wounded or missing in action. The regiment was down to about 200
men.
Following this they were sent to Harrison's Landing and occupied a
camp for about 6 weeks, during which they crossed the James and cut
down the forest and burned the buildings of Edmund Ruffin who
sheltered the enemy with the hopes of destroying Union transports
and stores collected on the shore of the river at Berkeley Landing.
The 15 Aug the regiment was transported to Acquia Creek Landing,
then to Kelly's Ford on the Rappahannock and became part of General
John Pope's Army of Va. and took part in the battle of Second Bull
Run on the 29 & 30, losing badly.
Not taking part in the battle of Chantilly they moved to camp at
Munson's Hill Va. and on the 7 Sept. camped at Meridian Hill

On the 26 Oct marched to Warrenton Va., arriving on the 6th, then
camped at Belle Plain. The 12 Dec. positioned themselves below the
town of Fredericksberg, advanced to the charge and captured
prisoners at the cost of 78 killed and wounded. One of the wounded
was Lieutenant John Q. Snyder who lost a leg. On the 16th returned
to Belle Plain for the winter. On the 14 Apr stationed at Camp
Convalescent. In Jun 1863, returned ot Alexandria and remained at
guard duty during the summer, fall and next winter.
In the spring of 1864, marched to Wilderness. On the 5 May engaged
the enemy and became separated from the main army which resulted in
their capture. They were marched to the rear to Orange Court House
and then to Lynchburg Va. where the officers were sent to Macon Ga.
and then to Charleston S.C. and the privates to Andersonville Ga.
where 67 died, a larger number died at Florence S.C. prison camp.
This left only 110 officers and men who were placed under the
