History of Pennsylvania volunteers, 1861-5; prepared in compliance with acts of the legislature, by Samuel P. Bates.

1865 MUSTER OUT OF SERVICE. 1313 ant Colonel Zinn had command of the assaulting party, and while urging on his men, in the final charge, was severely wounded. In October, the men whose terms of service had expired were mustered out and the veterans and recruits were organized in a battalion of four companies, which remained on duty until the 13th of January, 1865, when it was consolidated with the Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania, and thenceforward until the end of the war, formed part of that organization. The battalion participated in the operations of the corps upon the Weldon Railroad on the 27th of October, and again on the 9th of December, in the latter destroying the road as far as Bellefield Station. Upon the consolidation of the battalion with the Fifty-seventh, Lieutenant Colonel Zinn became Colonel, George W. Perkins, Lieutenant Colonel, and Captain Samuel Bryan, Major. The Fifty-seventh was finally mustered out of service on the 29th of June, 1865. FIELD AND STAFF OFFTCERIS. M NAME. RANK. DATE OF MUSTER REMARKS. INTO SERVICE. RS William G. Murray Col.......
