34th Massachusetts Infantry in the Civil War
In December [1863] an expedition was made to Harrisonburg which almost resulted disastrously, the Union troops being pursued all the way back. The regiment was then in camp near Bolivar until Feb. 1, 1864, when it was ordered to Cumberland, Md. Several difficult marches and the battles of New Market, Piedmont, and Lynchburg followed, and then the hurried march in retreat to the Union lines. Without rest it was again on the march and took part in the battles at Snicker's gap, Winchester [Henry b.1732, dies Sep 14, 1864, bur. Winchester Nat. Cem.], and Martinsburg. It was in the engagements at Halltown, Berryville, Fisher's hill [Henry J., b. 1843, wounded Sep 22, dies Oct. 12, 1864, bur. Winchester Nat, Cem.] and Cedar creek and in December [William J., b.1847, dies Dec. 28, 1864, bur. Antietam Nat. Battlefield Site] received orders to join the Army of the James before Richmond.
