Waitt, Ernest Linden, History of the Nineteenth regiment, Massachusetts volunteer infantry , 1861-1865, Chapter 32: in pursuit of Lee. In camp at Morrisville. (search)
ch of the Second Corps began, by way of the Taneytown Road. As the regiment filed out of the field at Gettysburg it was halted and an order from the President was read, announcing the fall of Vicksburg. The news was received with cheers and the men marched on with lighter hearts, feeling that the year of 1863 promised some decisive results in the prosecution of the war. That night was spent at Two Taverns and on the 7th march was resumed to Taneytown. Frederick City was reached on the 8th, Burkittsville on the 9th, and at noon on the 10th of July the regiment arrived at Williamsport, where, after a few hours rest, the men were marched about two miles in the direction of Hagerstown, and formed in line to the right of the road to repel an expected attack of the enemy. It remained all night under arms and in the morning moved across the road toward Williamsport, forming on the left of the Division line, which, during the night had moved to that point. Here it was learned that

During the day a heavy shower of rain and snow rendered military movements almost impossible. On the 8th the men began throwing up a permanent line of works, and on the 10th commenced a new winter camp in rear of the line, without anything of importance occurring until the 25th of March, except a Corps review by Gen. Grant, Gen. Meade and others on Malion and threw up works. In this action Capt. Isaac H. Boyd, who had been commissioned, but not mustered as Major, and was acting Asst. Inspector General of the First Brigade, First Division, Second Corps, was mortally wounded. Saturday, the 8th, was consumed in advancing alternately in line of battle and by the flank until 12:30 that night, skirmishing vigorously at times all day. On April 9th the regiment marched at 8 A. M. and pursued the enemy to within two miles of Clover Hill, or
