100TH INFANTRY
(Three Years)
One Hundredth Infantry.-Cols., Daniel Leasure, N. J.
Maxwell; Lieut.-Cols., James Armstrong, David A. Leckey,
Matthew M. Dawson, Joseph H. Pentecost, N. T. Maxwell,
Charles
Wilson; Majs., David A: Leckey, Matthew M. Dawson, James
Armstrong, James H. Cline, T. J. Hamilton, David
Critchlow, N.
J. Maxwell, James W. Bard. The 100th, known as the Round
Head
regiment, was recruited in the southwestern part of the
state
in Aug., 1861, and ordered to Washington on Sept. 2,
where its
organization was completed add it was mustered into the
U. S.
service for a three years, term. Twelve companies were
recruited but one was transferred to the 105th infantry.
It
was next ordered to Fortress Monroe, where it embarked
on what
proved to be an expedition to Port Royal. Here the fleet
arrived Nov. 7, and captured Forts Walker and
Beauregard.
Beaufort was next occupied and the regiment remained in
this
vicinity for several months, the men suffering very much
from
sickness. The 100th, participated in the operations
against
Charleston in June, 1862, and lost very heavily in the
engagement of June 16, near Secessionville. Returning to
Hilton Head and Beaufort in July, it was ordered to
Virginia,
later being sent to Fredericksburg and attached to the
9th
corps of the Army of Northern Virginia. After various
marches
during the month of August, the regiment met the enemy
on the
Bull Run battlefield, where it saw hard service. After
engaging all day and losing heavily, a final charge was
ordered, from which only 198 out of 450 returned unhurt.
It
was active at Chantilly and South mountain, but was held
in
reserve at Antietam, owing to its crippled condition. It
was
engaged at Fredericksburg and after the battle performed
important duty in covering the withdrawal of the troops,
being
selected as "The most reliable skirmish regiment in
the
brigade." In March, 1863, it was transferred to the
Department of the Ohio and sent to Lexington, Ky., from
which
place it was ordered in June to the support of Gen.
Grant at
Vicksburg. It participated in the fighting at Jackson,
Miss.,
after the fall of Vicksburg, and lost many men from
sickness
as well as from the enemy's fire. On its return north it
was
ordered to East Tennessee though many of the men were
not fit
for active service. It participated in an engagement at
Blue
Springs and in the hardships of the siege of Knoxville,
in
spite of which almost the entire regiment reenlisted on
Jan.
1, 1864. At Annapolis, the rendezvous of the 9th corps,
the
100th reported in March and became a part of the 2nd
brigade,
1st division, attached to the Army of the Potomac. The
9th
corps was closely engaged at the Wilderness,
Spottsylvania,
the North Anna river and Cold Harbor. Moving to
Petersburg,
the 100th, was repeatedly in action, notably at the
explosion
of the mine, the raid on the Weldon railroad, Poplar
Spring
Church the Hatcher's run movements, and in the final
assault
on Petersburg, April 2, 1865. The regiment was mustered
out
at Washington on July 24, 1865.
