PENNSYLVANIA 44TH INFANTRY, (First Calvary)

First Cavalry. -Cols. George D. Bayard, Owen Jones, J. P. Taylor H. S. Thomas; Lieut.-Cols., Jacob Higgins Owen Jones S. D. Barrows J. P. Taylor, David Gardner, Richard J. Falls; Majs., Owen Jones, Richard Byrnes, S. D. Barrows, Richard J. Falls, Thomas S. Richards, J. H. Ray, David Gardner, William T. McEwen, James M. Gaston, H. S. Thomas.

The 44th regiment, the 15th reserve, was a cavalry regiment, of which seven companies rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, and three at Camp Wilkins, near Pittsburgh. Cos. L and M were mustered in as separate companies. Ten companies proceeded to Washington in July and August 1861, and their organization was completed in September, when they were mustered into the U. S. service for three years. Co. L was mustered in on July 30, and Co. M, on Aug. 5, 1861 [James did not enlist until Aug. 1862] The regiment was stationed at Tennallytown until Oct. 10, when it moved to Camp Pierpont, VA. In November it made a raid on Dranesville and five companies participated in the battle there in December. On Jan. 7, 1862, the independent companies, L and M, which had been at Baltimore, joined the regiment. [James was not yet a soldier in the above mentioned action.]

In the spring of 1862, after some skirmishing near Falmouth, the regiment joined in the pursuit of Jackson's army up the Shenandoah Valley, constantly annoying the Confederate rear-guard and participating in the battles of Harrisonburg and Cross Keys. [James was not in this action in the spring either.]

Returning to Manassas, the regiment, after a short rest, joined Gen. Pope's army, guarded the fords of the Rapidan during the crossing of the army, fought at Cedar Mountain, Gainesville [9 Aug.1862], the second Bull Run [30 Aug 1862. James enlisted the day before the 2nd Battle of Bull run, so was probably still in boot camp] and Fredericksburg [12 Dec 1862-He may have been finished with boot camp by this battle], and went into winter quarters at Belle Plain. It shared in the dismal "Mud March," broke camp on April 12, 1863, and was engaged at Brandy Station [9 June 1863], Beverly Ford and Aldie. At Gettysburg [July 1-3, 1863] the 1st was assigned to Gen. Meade's headquarters and guarded the reserve artillery in the movements following the battle. Co. H, which was attached to the 6th corps from Feb. 22 1863, fought at Marye's Heights and Gettysburg and was united with the regiment on Aug. 15. The 1st was active in the engagements at Shepherdstown, Culpeper, Auburn, and in the Mine Run movement.
