Hanry is my great-great-grandfather. He was mortally wounded at Antietam and died on Sept 22, 1862. I would like any information about his gravesite as well as any data on family heritage.

Company C

Oscar Griswold's home was LeRoy, Pennsylvania near Canton. The 132nd was a nine-month regiment, activated in August, 1862, and mustered out in May, 1863. Brief as its tour of duty was, the unit was a very active combat participant in the battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. Regimental adjutant, Frederick Hitchcock, wrote the regiment's story years later in a book entitled 'War from the Inside'. Another source for information on this and all other Pennsylvania regiments which served in the Civil War is 'History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-65' by Samuel P. Bates.

I am trying to research more about this unit. I'd love to hear of any personal letters from soldiers, etc., regarding their exploits. I have just returned from a visit to Antietam, and saw the ground where their first real action took place. Unbelievable.

T. Harder was from Catawissa, PA. Like many in the 132nd, he singed up to serve again in a heavy artillary battery and was involved in the seige of Petersburg, VA.
