Historical Sketch:
Col., Joseph W. Hawley; Lieut.-Cols., Simon Litzenberg, William B. Waddell; Maj., I. L. Haldeman. Under the call of July, 1862, the 124th regiment was recruited in Chester and Delaware counties, rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, and on Aug. 12 was ordered to Washington, where it was mustered into the U. S. service for a nine months' term. On Sept. 7, it was sent to Rockville, Md., and attached to the 1st brigade, 1st division, 12th corps, which started two days later for South mountain and Antietam. In the battle of Antietam it was ordered to reinforce Gen. Hooker on the right of the line and was soon in action, losing 50 in killed and wounded. It then went into camp at Pleasant valley, where it was transferred to the brigade under Gen. Kane and on Oct. 30, occupied Loudoun heights. It was next ordered to the support of the troops engaged at Fredericksburg, but arrived too late for the battle. The regiment then encamped at Fairfax Station, joined in the "Mud March," and returned to camp near Stafford Court House. On April 27, 1863, as part of Geary's division, 12th corps, the regiment started for Chancellorsville, where it was posted on the right and was closely engaged on May 2. It then returned to camp and remained there until the expiration of its term of service, being mustered out at Harrisburg on May 16-17, 1863. Roster:
