ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY-SECOND INFANTRY
(Nine Months)

One Hundred and Thirty-second Infantry. - Cols., Richard

A. Oakford, Vincent M. Wilcox, Charles Albright ; Lieut.-Cols.,

Vincent M. Wilcox, Charles Albright, Joseph E. Shreve; Majs.,

Charles Albright, Joseph E. Shreve, Fred L. Hitchcock. This

regiment, from the north-central part of the state, was mus-

tered into the U. S. service at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, Aug.

11-18, 1862, for nine months. Col. Oakford had commanded the

15th regiment in the three months, service, and the rank and

file were of good physique. It left the state for Washington

on Aug. 19, encamped near Fort Corcoran on its arrival, and

there engaged in the work of drill and preparation. On Sept. 2

it moved to Rockville, Md. where it was assigned to Kimball\'s

brigade, French\'s division, Sumner\'s corps, which arrived at

South mountain too late to share in the battle. The regiment

suffered severely in its first battle, that of Antietam, losing

30 killed, 114 wounded and 8 missing. Col. Oakford and Lieut.

Cranmer were among the killed. It then moved with the corps to

Bolivar heights and during October shared in reconnaissance\'s

to Leesburg and Charlestown. Nov. 6 found it at Falmouth,

whence it was detached for duty at Belle Plain for a month. As

a part of the 3d brigade, 3d division, 2nd corps, it was en-

gaged in the battle of Fredericksburg, losing 15O out of 340

men engaged, but behaving like a veteran regiment. Gen. French

complimented the troops very highly in orders for their heroism

in the two battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg. It remained

in winter quarters at Falmouth until the close of April, 1863,

and then engaged in the battle of Chancellorsville where it was

in reserve the first 2 days, but was active at the front on May

3 and 4, its loss being about 50. On May 14 its term expired

and it was mustered out at Harrisburg on the 24th.
