About the 95th Pennsylvania at Gettysburg
The regiment was commanded at the Battle of Gettysburg by Lieutenant Colonel Edward Carroll. It arrived on the battlefield at the end of the day on July 2. They formed up to support the Fifth Corps, which was being forced back by Longstreet’s attack. The line stabilized and the fighting died down for the day.
On July 3 the 95th supported Fifth Corps units as they advanced througth the Wheatfield and the woods to its west. The regiment then moved to the front, and the combined forces captured around 200 men of Benning’s Georgia Brigade along with the colors of the 15th Georgia Infantry.
The 95th Pennsylvania lost one man killed and one wounded.
