He began recruiting at once. The companies for the regiment were recruited in the counties of Allegheny, Erie, Franklin, Fulton, Huntingdon, Lancaster and Luzerne. Thus the central, northern, eastern, southern and western parts of the State were represented in this regiment. A general rendezvous was established at "Camp Slifer, " Chambersburg, so named in honor of the Hon. Eli Slifer, then Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Pursuant to orders, the regiment left "Camp Slifer" on October 6, 1861, and went by rail to Camp Wilkins at Pittsburg, Pa. Where it was organized, armed, equipped and mustered into the United States' service on the eighth day of October, 1861.

It was thereafter known as the Seventy-seventh Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. Who had recruited about one hundred men, for the artillery company was made Lieutenant Colonel, and Stephen N. Bradford, of Luzerne county, was commissioned Major. (anyway there are a number of Stumbaugh's when googling his name). PIXIDIOM ARCHIVE SELECT (Description above).
