FIRST REGIMENT INFANTRY. 15

The Army of the Potomac promptly pursued the retreating army of Lee, capturing
thousands of his men, with artillery and munitions of war. Night and day the pursuit
was continued until, on the ninth day of April, 1865, the enemy was brought to bay at
Appomattox Court House, Virginia, and compelled to surrender the last remnant of Lee's
Army of Northern Virginia.

The first division of the 5th Army Corps was detailed to receive the arms surrendered,
consisting of seventeen thousand stands of small arms, one hundred and fifty-seven
pieces of artillery, and seventy-one battle flags.

On the 15th day of April, the 1st Regiment left Appomattox Court House with the
5th Army Corps on its return to Washington, passing through the Confederate capital at
Richmond en route.

On the 23d day of May, 1865, the 1st Regiment formed a part of that splendid army
of 100,000 men from the Army of the Potomac who passed in review at the capital of the
nation at Washington before the President of the United States and General Grant.

On the 2d day of July, 1865, the 1st Maryland Regiment of veteran infantry was
mustered out of the military service of the United States, at Arlington Heights, Virginia,
and proceeded thence to Baltimore, Maryland, where the regiment was paid off and
finally discharged.
