Re-enlisted with the 47th Pennsylvania at Key West, Florida on 2 December 1863.) Mustered out with his regiment at Charleston, South Carolina on 25 December 1865.
Key Engagements During His Time of Service with the 47th Pennsylvania: Defense of Washington, D.C. (Fall 1861); Battle of Pocotaligo, South Carolina (October 1862); defense of Florida and other southern territories via federal garrisoning of Forts Taylor and Jefferson (1863); Union General Nathaniel Banks's Red River Campaign across Louisiana (part of the only Pennsylvania regiment so engaged from March to May 1864); Union General Philip Sheridan's tide-turning 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign, including the battles of Opequan and Fisher's Hill (September 1864) and the Battle of Cedar Creek (19 October 1864).
Admitted to the Leavenworth Branch of the network of U.S. National Soldiers' Homes at the age of 80 on 24 February 1925 due to various disease-related complications of old age. This ledger indicates that he also was suffering from mental health issues (possibly old age-related, but with some indication that he may have also suffered from Soldiers' Heart/PTSD). Daniel H. Long died of heart disease on 16 May 1925 while residing at the Leavenworth soldiers' home.
The Leavenworth home's admissions ledger provides this touching note, "Wife present at bedside. Buried Section 32, Row 21, Grave 7176. Chapl. Berry officiating," and notes that his possessions were given to "Emma Long (Widow): "1 Suit Case, 1 Carton, 1 Watch and Chain."
This admissions ledger also indicates that his residence subsequent to discharge would have been Guthrie Oklahoma, and gives the following description of Daniel H. Long: 5' 11-1/2" tall, dark complexion, brown eyes, gray hair, religion: Protestant, occupation: carpenter. A second ledger entry in the Leavenworth National Cemetery's burial ledger confirms Daniel's date of death and subsequent interment at the National Cemetery at Leavenworth, Kansas.
