1864 RETURN AND MUSTER OUT OF SERVICE. 823
long wooded ridge which extended to the River Po. On the following morning
the Tenth was deployed as skirmishers and advanced driving the enemy in
upon his intrenched line. In this engagement the regiment had one killed and
several wounded. Fighting its way with the division, it crossed the Pamunky
on the 28th, and on the 29th moved forward to Tolopotomy Creek, skirmishing
as it went. On the 30th the enemy was met in considerable force near Bethesda
Church, where the Reserves were at first driven back in some disorder; but
finally forming in a favorable position, a temporary breast-work of rails wasthrown up and the enemy was checked. Reforming his lines he attacked in
_heavy.force, but was repeatedly repulsed and driven back in confusion, the
Reserves inflicting great slaughter and taking many prisoners. This was their
last battle, their time of service having expired. Many of the Tenth re-enlisted
as veterans, and formed part of the One Hundred and Ninetieth and One Hundred and Ninety-first regiments. On'the 11th of June, 1864, the remnants of
this brave and once strong body of men, which had fought in nearly every batfle in which the army of the Potomac had been engaged, and which was not
excelled in valor by any other organization of the division, was mustured out
of service at Pittsburg.
