Printed by Eagle Steam Printing House.
The 16th US Infantry was constituted as the 1st Battalion, 11th US Infantry on May 3, 1861, and was initially organized at Fort Independence, MA, in the summer and fall of 1861. The regiment was transferred to Perryville, MD, in October to prepare for Major General George B. McClellan’s upcoming spring campaign on the Virginia Peninsula. Assigned to the Army of the Potomac’s 2nd Division, V Army Corps in the spring of 1862, the regiment participated in many key battles of that campaign, such as the Siege of Yorktown, Gaines’ Mill, and Malvern Hill. In August, the regiment participated in the Second Battle of Bull Run, which was soon followed by involvement at Antietam, Shepherdstown, and the actions at Leetown. In December 1862, the regiment fought at Fredericksburg (December, 1862) and Chancellorsville (May, 1863). It fought hard and suffered significant casualties at Gettysburg. During the spring and summer of 1864, the regiment participated in General U.S. Grant’s Overland Campaign and fought at the battles of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Jericho Mills, Cold Harbor, and finally in the Siege of Petersburg. By the spring of 1865, the remaining soldiers from the regiment aided in disarming General Lee’s Confederate forces at Appomattox. Following the war, the 16th participated in reconstruction of the south and served during the Indian wars.
