A & F, of the 77th Infantry Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. They saw action the second day at Shiloh, Tennessee and James was captured by Gen Bragg's Confederates at the battle of Stone's River, on Dec. 31, 1862.

He was with his regiment at Chickamaugua, the battle for Atlanta and at Franklin, Tennessee. They were mustered out on December 6th, 1865 at Victoria, TX.
