CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: The 116th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, was recruited from among the Irish Americans of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the summer of 1862 and with St. Clair A. Mulholland as lieutenant colonel. At the end of August 1862, the regiment was ordered to report to Washington, D.C., and was assigned to the Irish Brigade, which was the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, II Corps, Army of the Potomac. The 116th performed well at the Battle of Chancellorsville, where it helped rescue the 5th Maine Battery from capture. In this action, Mulholland earned a Medal of Honor. On the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, the 1st Division was sent into the Wheatfield to support the III Corps, where the 116th engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Caught in a crossfire, the division was forced to retreat. The 116th fought all through the Overland Campaign, where it continued to lose heavily in officers and men. Mulholland was wounded at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House and again at the Battle of Cold Harbor. The 116th suffered heavy losses at the Siege of Petersburg. They finished the war with the Appomattox Campaign, and were mustered out in Alexandria and Washington in July 1865. The 116th Pennsylvania Infantry is recognized as a Fox 300 Fighting Regiment.

Mulholland's voluminous journal, this well-written and even-tempered account is one of the better narratives of 1863-1865 operations in the East." FOX 300 pg 292. MULLINS/REED #195 (reprint).
