Chapter 2
Armstrong County in The War of the Rebellion
103rd Regiment P.V.I.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRD REGIMENT P. V. I.

This regiment was recruited principally in the counties of Armstrong, Allegheny, Butler, Clarion and Indiana. Companies B, C and D were made up almost entirely, and F, G and K partly, of Armstrong men. Recruiting was commenced early in the fall of 1861, the men rendezvousing at Camp, Orr, Kittanning. The 78th regt. had been organized there a short time before and many of the men who went into the 103d had originally enlisted expecting to go out with the former, which they could not do on account of the large excess of recruits. Much suffering was experienced at Camp Orr when cold weather came on, the government being unable to promptly furnish adequate clothing and camp and garrison equipage. In January, 1862, the regiment was reported for duty with one company more than the number required, which was transferred to the 2d Cavalry. On February 24, it was ordered to Harrisburg, where a regimental organization was effected by the choice of the following field officers: Theodore F. Lehman, colonel; Wilson C. Maxwell, lieutenant-colonel; Audley W. Gazzam, major. it was soon afterward ordered to Washington, where it was assigned to a provisional brigade of Gen. Casey's division. The regiment proceeded with the corps to the Peninsula, and, after remaining in camp a short time near Hampton, moved forward and participated in the operations of the siege of Yorktown. A month of severe duty, combined with exposure to the miasmatic influence of the climate, caused much sickness, and many died. When the enemy withdrew, the 103d, with the corps, pushed on in pursuit, and, on the morning of May 5, arrived upon the battlefield opposite the enemy's forts at Williamsburg. In the battle which ensued the regiment did effective service. Moving forward in advance of the army, Casey's division crossed the Chickahominy and took position at Fair Oaks, which it was proceeding to fortify when upon May 31 it was suddenly attacked. In this fight the regiment, commanded as it had been at Williamsburg by Maj. Gazzam, bore itself gallantly and, being in the hottest of the fight, suffered terrible loss. The total number wounded and killed was eighty-four. Among the killed was Capt. George W. Gillespie, of Company B. After the battle, the regiment, with the brigade of which it formed a part, was posted at White Oak swamp and put to fortifying. Here again there was great suffering from the unhealthfulness of the climate. Later, the regiment took part in the seven days' fight at Malvern. At the close of the Peninsula campaign it had lost nearly one-half of its original strength. When the army of McClellan was ordered to join Pope upon the Rapidan, Wessell's brigade, then including the 103d regt., was separated from the army of the Potomac never again to rejoin it, and went via Norfolk to Suffolk, where it remained until December. On the 5th of that month the brigade broke camp and proceeded to Newburn, North Carolina, where it joined the forces under Gen. Foster, then about to move into the interior. With the exception of a slight skirmish at Southwest creek, little opposition was encountered on the march until the command reached Kingston, where the enemy was discovered occupying a strong position upon a little eminence. After several ineffectual attempts had been made to cross an intervening swamp and dislodge the confederates, the 103d was called out and directed to make a last endeavor. They succeeded in forcing a passage through the swamp, under the rapid fire of the enemy's guns, and, without firing a single musket, charged so quickly and effectually that the enemy was routed. The 85th P. V. I. came promptly to its support and almost an entire rebel North Carolina regiment was captured. Gen. Foster highly complimented the regiment for its services in this action. At the conclusion of this expedition, the brigade returned to Newbern and went in to barracks on the Neuse river where the remainder of the winter was pleasantly passed. During the spring of 1863 frequent expeditions were made into the surrounding country, but little of moment was effected. Afterward, the regiment took part in operations in the vicinity of Washington, on the Tar river, and still later removed to Plymouth, which place was strongly fortified. It was attacked by the confederates on April 17, and the fight lasted until 11 o'clock of the 20th when the 103d regt. surrendered. The rebels had a large force and the other federal troops had been compelled to surrender before this time, so that there was no alternative left for Col. Lehman but to give up his men as prisoners. There were then in this organization about 400 men, rank and file, many of whom had been in service since the regiment was formed. "The officers were immediately separated from the men, not again to be united, the latter being sent to Andersonville to starve and die by scores, and the former to Macon, Georgia, and, subsequently, those of highest grade to Charlestown. The wounded, of whom there were thirty-five, were left with the surgeon at Plymouth in the hands of the enemy. Of the men who entered Andersonville prison, 132 died while in confinement. Many died in the prisons to which they were subsequently removed and while they were on their way to and at Camp Parole, Annapolis; and many more after lingering sickness. When the regiment was mustered into service, there were seventy-two men upward of six feet in height, of whom not one was present at the final muster out."*(10) The officers, after their release from confinement, were paroled and returned to duty, Col. Lehman resuming command of the district of the Albermarle. One company, which had not been included in the surrender, with the few men who were absent at the time, in all about eighty, were still on duty in the district and was known as the 103d reg. In March and April, 1865, eight new companies were assigned to the regiment. The command was finally mustered out at Newbern, North Carolina, June 25, 1865, but eighty-one of the original men being present.
