Description
This is an original Civil War Period "Roll of Co. B 2nd Battalion Infantry, USA Captain E. Ludington 1st Lieutenant W.H. Wolcott". It has been pasted to the back of a period book and was probably used as a guide when periodic pay documents and other muster rolls were prepared. Elisha Harrison Ludington enlisted as a Captain on 8/5/1861. He was born in Pennsylvania. He achieved the rank of colonel by brevet on 3/13/1865 after many other promotions. He died on 1/21/1891. W.H. Walcott was William Henry Walcott who was born in Massachusetts and enlisted on 4/17/1861 at Providence, RI as a private. He was promoted to 1st Lieutenant, then sergeant, then Captain and then Major on the second day of Gettysburg. On the next day 7/3/1863 he was wounded in the left leg and the leg had to be amputated. He was promoted to Colonel on 1865 and subsequent promotions came after the Civil War during his service in the West. He died on 8/30/1901. Thanks to CivilWarData for the following after battle report regarding the 17th and Gettysburg: Gettysburg after battle report: Report of Lieut. Col. J. Durell Greene, Seventeenth U. S. Infantry. Camp near Purcellville, Va., July 19, 1863. Capt.: I have the honor to report that the Seventeenth U. S. Infantry, under my command, numbering 25 officers and 235 enlisted men, and forming a portion of the Second Brigade, Second Division, Fifth Army Corps, was engaged in the battle of Gettysburg, July 2. The regiment formed the left of the brigade line, and went into action at 6 p. m. From the position in line, the nature of the ground passed over, and other circumstances, the regiment suffered severely from the fire of the enemy, as the list of casualties, recently forwarded, will show. The regiment was engaged in all about two hours, and retired with the brigade. The regiment mourns as killed First Lieut. W. H. Chamberlin, and Second Lieut. E. S. Abbot, mortally wounded, young officers, but recently promoted from the ranks. Both officers and men behaved with just credit under the trying circumstances in which they were placed. I particularly remarked Capt. E. H. Ludington, Company B, Second Battalion; First Lieut. A. Menzies, adjutant First Battalion, and Second Lieut. F. E. Stimpson, acting battalion quartermaster, as distinguished for coolness and gallantry. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. DURELL GREENE, Lieut. Col. Seventeenth U. S. Infantry, Comdg. Capt. J. W. Ames, A. A. A. G., Second Brig., Second Div., Fifth Corps.Source: Official Records: Series I. Vol. 27. Part I. Reports.
