In the latter part of July,
1862, the Eighty-seventh received orders of report to Colonel Miles
at Harper's Ferry. It was stationed on Boliver Heights, and
subjected to rigid drill. It remained there until the siege of the
Ferry by "Stonewall" Jackson, and at the surrender was
included with the National forces. The various companies were
subsequently released from their paroles, and were mustered out at
Delaware, Ohio, on the twentieth of September, 1862.
The muster out roll fails to detail the casualties of
company B.
