First Potomac Home Brigade Infantry. - Cols., William P. Maulsby,Roger E. Cook; Lieut.-Cols., George R. Dennis, John A. Steiner, Charles J. Brown; Majs., John I. Yellott, Eugene C. Baugher. The organization of this regiment was commenced at Frederick City on Aug. 15, 1861, and on Dec. 13 it was mustered into service for three years. Companies A, B, D and I were recruited in Frederick county; C in the city of Baltimore; E , F, and H in Washington county; G in Baltimore, Frederick and Carroll counties; and K in Frederick county and the city of Baltimore. During the winter of 1861-62 it served with Gen. Banks and in the following spring marched with that commander up the Shenandoah Valley as far as Winchester, when it was assigned to the duty of guarding the line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. When Banks was driven out of the valley the regiment was concentrated at Harper's Ferry, where it remained until the Union troops again the valley, when it resumed the work of guarding the railroad. After Gen. Pope's defeat at the second battle of Bull Run the regiment opposed the passage of the Potomac river at the several fords and ferries near the mouth of the Monocacy, and was then concentrated at Harper,s Ferry, where it was surrendered with the garrison on Sept. 15, 1862. The men were paroled and after being exchanged the regiment was assigned to duty along the Potomac in the southern part of the state. In the Gettysburg campaign it formed part of Lockwood's brigade, and on the second day of the battle of Gettysburg was in the thickest of the fighting on Culp's hill and was one of the regiments that moved to the relief of Sickles, corps, where it assisted in the final repulse of the Confederates under Gen. Longstreet. After the battle of Gettysburg it marched with the Army of the Potomac in pursuit of Lee as far as the Potomac river, when it was assigned to the duty of guarding the line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. In July, 1864, when Gen. Early invaded Maryland, this regiment took an active part in checking the Confederate advance, and part of it fought gallantly in the battle of Monocacy under Gen. Wallace. During its service the regiment lost 45 men killed in battle and 86 died of wounds and disease. It was engaged at Loudoun heights, Poolesville, Monocacy, Aqueduct, Maryland heights, Harper's Ferry, Gettysburg, Duffield Station Monocacy, and in several skirmishes along the line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Those whose terms of enlistment expired in the fall of 1864 were mustered out, and the veterans and recruits were assigned to the 13th Md. infantry.
