CHAPTER XVIII.
Military - The War of the Rebellion.
In the great conflict of 1861-65 known as the war of the Rebellion,
the people of Huntingdon County exhibited the greatest patriotism and
promptness in furnishing and forwarding men for service in the Union
armies. From the time when the first call for troops was made known
until the surrender of the principle hostile army made further calls
unnecessary, the young men, the middle aged men and not infrequently
the old men of this county responded to each appeal with a patriotic
alacrity not excelled in any other part of the State or Union.
THE FIFTH REGIMENT of Pennsylvania in the three months service
included a previously-organized independent company of Huntingdon known
as the Standing Stone Guards. It was designated in the regimental
organization as D company of the Fifth and was mustered into the
service of the United States April 21, 1861.
The Fifth Regiment was rendezvoused and organized at camp Curtin
where its companies were mustered into the service of the United States
on the 20th and 21st of April 1861. Its field-officers were Col. R. P.
McDowell of Pittsburg; Lieut. Col. Benj. C. Christ of Schuylkill
County; and Major R. Bruce Petriken, of Huntingdon.

THE FIFTEENTH REGIMENT contained one company, which, though credited
to Cambria County was made up largely of men from Huntingdon, which
county furnished all its commissioned officers, as will be found in the
roll. This company, designated as H of the Fifteenth, was mustered
into service on the 23rd of April, 1861. The fifteenth Regiment was
organized at Camp Curtin, its field officers being Col. Richard A.
Oakford, Lieut Col. Thomas Biddle, Maj. Stephen N. Bradford. It was
brigaded with the Fourteenth under Gen. James S. Negley, and its
history from muster in to muster out is essentially the same as that of
the Fourteenth.

general in the United States service and Governor of the State of
Pennsylvania. The other field officers of the Twenty-Eighth were
