Federal Participant Information:

Federal troops at this event will portray Companies D and I of the Eleventh New Jersey Volunteer Infantry, which was part of the Army of the Potomac, Stoneman’s Third Corps, Sickles’s Second Division, Carr’s First Brigade; other regiments in the same brigade included the 1st, 11th, and 16th Massachusetts, 2nd New Hampshire, and 26th Pennsylvania.

The recently-formed Eleventh New Jersey joined the Army of the Potomac in mid-November 1862 and did not participate in the actual the battle of Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862.  Instead, the Eleventh spent December 13 guarding the Federal pontoon bridges near Hamilton’s Crossing, and was brought to the front around 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 14, to relieve the troops who had fought the day before.  Companies D and I of the Eleventh picketed the very ground where our event will be held; the regiment lost on picket that day a total of seven men (three killed, four wounded).  The Eleventh New Jersey would go on to win many battlefield laurels—particularly at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg—and on many other fields, such as Payne’s Farm, the Wilderness, and Petersburg.

The Eleventh New Jersey was recruited in the late summer of 1862.  The regiment spent November 1862 to March 1863 in the Army of the Potomac’s Third Corps, after which it was part of the Second Corps, where it served through the Appomattox Campaign
