Regimental History Eleventh Infantry WEST VIRGINIA (3-YEARS)

Eleventh Infantry.-Cols., John C. Rathbone, Daniel Frost, Van H. Bukey; Lieut.-Cols., John C. Rathbone, Van H. Bukey, William I. H. King, James L. Simpson; Majs., George C. Trimble, James J. Simpson, Michael A. Ayres.

The organization of the 11th regiment was commenced in Oct., 1861, and toward the latter part of December Cos. B and C, organized in Wirt county, were armed and placed on duty against guerrillas in that part of the state. About 200 men of the regiment were attacked at Spencer in September by 1,000 Confederates under Gen. Jenkins and all, including Col. Rathbone, were captured and paroled.

In October a part of the regiment took part in the signal repulse of Col. Jackson's forces at Bulltown, and various other engagements occurred in which a portion of the 11th participated. It was then with Averell in several of his raids and expeditions; was with Gen. Hunter in his march to and retreat from Lynchburg, and then joined the Army of West Virginia for the Shenandoah Valley campaign of 1864. Col. Frost was killed at Snicker's ferry in July, and Col. Bukey took command.

A list of battles in which the 11th took part includes Cloyd's mountain, New River bridge, Lexington, Lynchburg, Snicker's ferry, Winchester, Martinsburg, Berryville, the Opequan, Fisher's hill, Strasburg and Cedar creek. The original members who did not reenlist were mustered out as their terms expired and the regiment, composed of veterans and recruits, was retained in service until June 17, 1865, when it was mustered out pursuant to orders from the war department.
