From Pages 23 to 33 of the "History of the 127th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers."
This company, known officially on the military records of the late Civil War, as Company A, 127th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, was also known, locally, as the "First City Zouaves," of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
It was organized in the spring of 1861, and having been armed and equipped by the authorities of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and being part of its militia system, regularly performed the duties incident thereto.
When Major General Nathaniel P. Banks was driving across the Potomac in the early spring of 1862 under the combined attacks of Major Generals Thomas J. Jackson & Richard S. Elwell's Divisions of the Confederate Army, and sudden fear had seized the people of the North, particularly of Pennsylvania, of a threatened invasion, the War Department of the Government issued a hurried order on May 25th, 1862, calling for the enlisting of all volunteer militia. The services of the First City Zouaves were offered on the same day, and with full ranks were mustered into the United States service. Two days later, the order of the War Department was rescinded, setting forth that the "threatening aspects of affairs was no longer alarming," and the company was regularly mustered out on May 27th, 1862. It is a notable fact that this company, although large numbers of militia organizations throughout the State had offered their services, was the only one actually mustered in by the United States authorities under that call, as the muster rolls on file will attest.
When Governor Curtin issued his proclamation on July 21st, 1862, calling for the organization of volunteer regiments of nine months' troops, under the general call of the President of July 7th, 1862, for 300,000 men, the services of the First City Zouaves were tendered on the same day of its issuance, and promptly accepted. Five days later - July 26th - the company was mustered into the service of the United States by Captain William B. Lane, 3rd United States Cavalry Regiment, mustering officer. The existing officers, F. Asbury Awl and John S. Bitzer, were commissioned as captain and first lieutenant, respectively, and John T. Ensminger as second lieutenant, in lieu of the officer holding that rank, who was found to be physically disqualified. As this was the first company mustered in, under that call of the Governor, and as its commander was the ranking officer, he was ordered to proceed to the fields north of Camp Curtin, and establish a camp suitable for the accommodation of the troops that were expected to arrive in large numbers at the seat of government, and to take temporary command of the same.
The camp was established and named "Camp Simmons," in honor of Colonel Seneca G. Simmons, 5th Pennsylvania Reserves, then recently killed in action before Richmond. Subsequently it was merged with Camp Curtin, and its distinctive identity lost.
It was expected that company organizations, as rapidly as they arrived in camp and were duly examined, mustered in and fully armed and equipped for the service, would be placed into regimental organizations, officered and sent forward; but the State authorities directed that all regiments should be made up along county lines or contiguous territory. This order held the First City Zouaves in a state of expectancy for the best part of a month, until August 16th, when the 127th, or Dauphin County Regiment, was formed, and to which it was assigned as Company A.
Meanwhile the Zouaves had been detailed specially for provost duty in and about the City of Harrisburg. Immediately upon the regimental assignment, an order was received from Major General John E. Wool, headquarters, Baltimore, Maryland, commanding the Department, "detaching Company A from the regiment, for special duty within the Department."
After the departure of the nine months' troops from Camp Curtin, the company was ordered to establish its quarters at some point in Cumberland County, adjacent to Harrisburg. A camp, called Camp Dodge, was pitched on the high hill above Bridgeport, which the next year (1863), during the Gettysburg Campaign, was fortified and named Fort Washington. This was occupied until the cold weather made it necessary to go into winter quarters. Barracks were established in the company's armory. During a period of over six months of the term of service, until the middle of March 1863, the duties performed were varied in character, and full of adventurous incidents, but at the same time extremely vexatious and annoying, and devoid of that glory which goes down into history.
Such duties as guarding of public and private property, receiving and distributing military prisoners to Fort Delaware and other places of confinement, arresting deserters, assisting the provost marshals of Dauphin, Berks, Lancaster, York and neighboring counties in enforcing the draft, holding in check the turbulent element of Southern Pennsylvania, who were disposed to resist the law, etc., fell to the lot of Company A, and whilst it necessarily broke up the company into fragments, nevertheless excellent discipline was maintained throughout the command.
In early February 1863, the Captain, recognizing the fact that but three months more remained of the company's term of service, and that they had not yet been ordered to the field, and as all indications pointed to an early advance movement of the Army of the Potomac, forwarded an urgent request to the War Department that "his company be ordered to join its regiment, then at the front near Falmouth, Virginia."
The communication was referred back "for remark" through the regular channels to the commander at Harrisburg, who disapproved the same. A local incident occurred about a month later which changed the opinion of the commandant, who issued peremptory orders "for the command to proceed at once to Washington, and upon arrival there to report to General Heintzelman, who will furnish the necessary transportation to the regiment." Report was made to General Heintzelman, as per orders, but instead of "furnishing the necessary transportation," an inspecting officer was sent, who inspected the company at the Soldiers' Rest, where it was quartered. No orders were received for nearly two days. At the close of the second day, the company was ordered to appear at his headquarters, situated near the White House. By invitation, the company now had the pleasure of drilling before President Lincoln. General Heintzelman then ordered the captain to proceed with his company to Cliffburn Barracks, on the outskirts of the city, and to report to General Martindale, Governor of the District, for assignment to duty. Then began another tour of provost duty in and about Washington City, at the Old Capitol Prison, Aqueduct, Chain Bridge, and various other points, and so it continued until the expiration of its term of service. The company was mustered out at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, May 8th, 1863.
After muster out, the company was temporarily disbanded, and almost all its members went into various regimental organizations in the field for the balance of the war.
An incomplete roster shows that it gave to the service of the country two Colonels, one Lieutenant Colonel, one Brigade Inspector, one Adjutant, three Majors, eight Captains, eight First Lieutenants, ten Second Lieutenants, six First Sergeants, seventeen Sergeants, and fourteen Corporals.
Upon the conclusion of the war in 1865, the First City Zouaves again took its places in the militia of the State of Pennsylvania. A few years later, the old Zouave uniform was discarded, a gray one substituted, and the name changed to the "City Grays."
