HISTORY OF STEUBEN COUNTY, NEW YOEK. 



125 



front of Atlanta, and laid siege to the city, which was 

 finally evacuated by the enemy September 2, and the 

 107th Regiment was among the first to enter the city. 

 In this siege the regiment lost about sixty killed and 

 wounded. 



The regiment remained at Atlanta some time performing 

 provost-guard duty, and on the 15th of September left 

 Atlanta with Sherman on his memorable " March to the 

 Sea." On the 26th a skirmish was had at Sandersville, 

 and December 9, Redoubt No. 8, nine miles from Savannah, 

 was captured, and December 21 the city was evacuated by 

 the enemy and the campaign closed. This was one of the 

 greatest campaigns of the war, and it is an honor to be 

 able to say, " I marched with Sherman from Atlanta to the 

 sea !" It may justly be written that the 107th during this 

 campaign added fresh laurels to those already won while 

 with the Army of the Potomac, and it is well known that 

 Gen. Sherman held this regiment in the highest esteem : 

 and in 1875 he said, " I surely know no regiment that I 

 would prefer to meet, whose services both East and West 

 make them justly proud." 



After the evacuation of Savannah, the 107th went into 

 camp on tho Georgia side of the river, where they remained 

 until Jan. 17, 1865, when they moved with the army for 

 the campaign through the Carol inas, and participated in 

 the battle of Averysboro', N. C, March 16, and Black 

 River, N. C, March 19. On the 24th they reached 

 Goldsboro' and went into camp, ending the march of sixty- 

 six days, — distance, five hundred miles, — the total casual- 

 ties of the campaign being about forty. Left camp at 

 Goldsboro' April 10, and, after a series of marches, — pass- 

 ing through Richmond and other places, — the 25th finds 

 the regiment in camp near Bladensburg, Md., preparing 

 the muster-out rolls. June 6 they bade farewell to South- 

 ern soil, and on the 8th reached Elmira, on the 9th turned 

 over their camp and garrison equipage, on the 10th were 

 paid off and mustered out of service, and the 107th passed 

 into history.
