11th Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry (3 months, 1861)

Historical Sketch:
Col., Phaon Jarrett; Lieut.-Col., Richard Coulter; Maj., William D. Earnest. The 11th regiment was recruited in the counties of Lycoming, Clinton, Luzerne, Northumberland, Montour and Westmoreland, and was mustered in at Harrisburg, April 23 to 26, 1861, for three months' service. On May 4 it was ordered to West Chester and remained in camp near that place until the 27th. Its first duty was to keep open various approaches to Washington, and to that end details were posted at Newark, Chesapeake City, Charlestown, Perryville and Havre-de-Grace. It was next ordered to Chambersburg; then to Williamsport; and took part in the engagement at Falling Waters, where it lost 1 man killed and 10 wounded. The 11th was then posted at Martinsburg until July 15, when it moved to Bunker Hill, and to Charlestown two days later. It was mustered out at Harrisburg on Aug. 1. The entire regiment was remustered for three years, retaining its number, and was the first three years' regiment from the state.
