Southard's Independent Company : ウィキペディア英語版 | Southard's Independent Company Southard's Independent Company, Pennsylvania (Colored) Infantry was a United States Colored Troops unit briefly formed during the Civil War. The unit was organized at Camp William Penn, Pennsylvania on July 28, 1864〔Frank H. Taylor, ''PHILADELPHIA IN THE CIVIL WAR (1861-1865)'', Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1913, p.279〕 It was named for its commander, Captain Converse Southard. The unit was disbanded November 14, 1864〔Frank H. Taylor, ''PHILADELPHIA IN THE CIVIL WAR (1861-1865)'', Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1913, p.279〕 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania〔Pennsylvania Adjutant-General's Office, Report of the Adjutant General of Pennsylvania (1864); Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 1865. p.269〕 and its remaining members sent to reinforce existing U.S.C.T. regiments. ==Purpose== Not much is known about this unit, except that it did not see combat. It was enlisted for a period of only 100 days;〔Pennsylvania Adjutant-General's Office, Report of the Adjutant General of Pennsylvania (1864); Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 1865. p.269〕 enlistments of 3 to 4 months or so were usually for emergencies. Many members transferred to other units before the unit was disbanded, including its officers. An army under CSA General Jubal Early had threatened Washington DC in the beginning of July but had fled to West Virginia by August. The troops may have been raised to serve in the defense of Washington DC or replace Pennsylvania units sent to Maryland.
