   The 93rd was organized at Lebanon and mustered into the U. S. service betw
   een Sept. 21, and Oct. 28, 1861, for three years. It left Lebanon for Was
   hington on Nov. 21, and moved to Tennallytown on Jan. 22, 1862, where it w
   as assigned to Peck's brigade of the division later commanded by Gen. Couc
   h. It took part in the Peninsular campaign, being present at the sie
   ge of Yorktown, active at the battles of Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, and Malv
   ern Hill and was then stationed at Harrison's landing until the batt
   le of Chantilly.
   The regiment was held in reserve at Antietam and Fredericksburg and the wi
   nter of 1862-63 passed without further events of importance. Attach
   ed to the 6th corps, it participated in the Chancellorsville campaign a
   nd the battle of Gettysburg, where it arrived on July 2, and made a galla

   ly on the field at the Wilderness, where it met with heavy losses. Engag
   ed almost daily in the active campaign which followed, the regiment lost m
   any gallant men at Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor and then marched to Peter
   sburg where it obtained little rest, being posted close to the enemy's wor
   ks.
   On July 9, it was ordered to the defense of Washington, which was threaten
   ed by Gen. Early, and it took part in the marches which followed, fighti
   ng at the Opequan, Fisher's Hill, and Cedar Creek.
   On Oct. 28, 1864, the members who had not reenlisted were mustered out a
   nd in November the regiment was ordered to Philadelphia for guard duty dur
   ing the presidential election. Returning to Winchester it was order
   ed to Petersburg in December and went into winter quarters.
   On March 25, 1865, it charged the enemy's works and again on Apr. 2, wh
   en Sergt. Charles Marquette won a medal of honor for the capture of a fla
