The 45th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry was recruited in late summer, early fall of 1861 for a term of three years. It spent the winter on the Carolina Islands. In 1862, the 45th was in the thick of the action. In September, it joined the Army of the Potomac and was engaged at the Battle of South Mountain. The regiment was in reserve at Fredericksburg, but lost a few men there anyway.
In 1863, the 45th was ordered West passing through Jamestown, KY, and continuing to Vicksburg, then East Tennessee (Blue Springs), and Knoxville and the following pursuit. In January 1864 over 400 members veteranized, then began the arduous spring and summer campaigns, seeing action at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna River, and Cold Harbor. It joined the siege at Petersburg. The regiment was engaged at Weldon railroad, Petersburg mine explosion, and Poplar Spring Church, where a number of men were captured. It also participated at Hatcher's Run and the Petersburg final assault, ending up in the grand review in Washington.
