MARYLAND ELEVENTH INFANTRY (One Hundred Days)

Eleventh Infantry. Col., William T. Landstreet; Lieut.Col., Thomas Sewell, Jr.; Maj., William E. George. The 11th was mustered in on June 16, 1864, to serve for 100 days, and on July 1 left Baltimore for Monocacy, where it fought under Gen. Lew Wallace on the 9th, holding the Confederates under Gen. Early in check until reinforcements could come to Washington to save the national capital, which was threatened. After the battle of Monocacy the regiment was on guard duty at Monrovia and Mount Airey until Oct. 1, when it was mustered out at the expiration of its term of enlistment. A large number of the men re-enlisted before the expiration of their 100 days' term, for a period of one year, and these re-enlisted men formed three companies A, B and C of a new 11th infantry. In Jan., 1865, seven companies of the 1st Eastern Shore regiment were added to the three already organized, and the new 11th was mustered in with John G Johannes as colonel; James C. Mullikin, lieutenant-colonel; and Martin Suter, major. After the reorganization Co. C was assigned to duty at the Relay House, near Baltimore, on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad; Co. I was stationed in the cite of Baltimore, and the remainder of the regiment was sent to Fort Delaware where it was assigned to garrison duty. On June 15, 1865, all whose terms had expired were mustered out and those whose terms did not expire until Oct. 1, 1865, were transferred to the 2nd Md. infantry.
