1.3.5.3.4 William Hunter Keslar (1842-1926)

1.3.5.3.4 William Hunter Keslar (b:19 0ct 1842 Donegal Township-d: 14 Jan 1926, Somerset, Pa.)

William Hunter Keslar served in the Civil War. He served for the duration of the war, from 2 Sep 1861 to 10 Jun 1865 in the Union Army, serving as a private in Company K of the 11th Pennsylvania regiment.

The 11th Pennsylvania was recruited from several counties in Pennsylvania as a three-month regiment on April 26, 1861, and sent to Camp Curtin, Harrisburg for training and organization. It was assigned to Robert Patterson‘s Army of the Shenandoah. The regiment received the nickname “The Bloody Eleventh” at the Battle of Falling Waters, Virginia, July 2, 1861.

The 11th was reorganized as a three-year regiment in the August of the same year at Camp Curtin in Harrisburg. After a few weeks of drill, the regiment was given garrison duty at Annapolis, Maryland. In April, it was moved to Mannassas Junction, where it guarded the railroad. It was again transferred, this time to the Shenandoah Valley, in late May as part of Irvin McDowell‘s Corps. They fought in the Battles of Cedar Mountain and Second Bull Run.

After the Army of Virginia was merged into the Army of the Potomac, the reconstituted regiment became part of the I Corps. At Turner’s Gap at the Battle of South Mountain, the 11th came under light fire only, losing two men wounded. At the Battle of Antietam three days later, it was heavily engaged on the Union right around the West Woods. In this battle, it lost 27 killed, 89 wounded, and two captured.

When the original three-year enlistment period expired in January 1864, many of the men re-enrolled in the regiment at the influence of Brig. Gen. Richard Coulter, a former colonel of the regiment. Because of this, the unit was designated “veteran volunteers.”

The 11th fought in multiple battles in the Eastern Theater, including Second Bull Run, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Grant’s Overland Campaign, the Siege of Petersburg, and the Appomattox Campaign. It was mustered out on July 1, 1865.

Monument to the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg. It is located off Doubleday Avenue on Oak Ridge in the Gettysburg National Military Park, Gettysburg, PA, USA. The location is near the right flank of the First Corps on July 1, 1863. Note the inclusion of the regimental mascot, Sallie (see info at left). A total of 1,890 men served in the regiment during the war, and only 340 men were discharged at war’s end.

Among the numerous casualties was one that would stand out as an undying remembrance of the unit and its loyalty to the cause. The regiment’s beloved mascot, Sallie Ann Jarrett, “a brindle, bull-terrier”[1] similar to today’s American Staffordshire Terrier, traveled everywhere with the unit. “Sallie” was said to have hated three things — Rebels, Democrats, and Women.[2] Her loyalty was undying, for at Gettysburg, after the battle on the First Day was over, Sallie, tired and hungry, ambled out to where her brave comrades had fought and died. She lay down with the dead, until she was found, weak and close to death herself, on July 4, 1863. Her friends nursed her back to health, and she fought with the unit in every battle until she was mortally wounded at Hatcher’s Run in February 1865. Although under a “murderous fire,” several of the men gave her a proper burial where she fell. Never forgetting the most devoted member of their regiment, in 1890 the veterans of the 11th forever memorialized her by placing her bronze likeness on their monument on Oak Ridge in the Gettysburg National Military Park.
