aded all of the mountain roads so as to make the transit of the river and country impossible, without building ferries and opening the roads.  This duty was intrusted to Captain Lane and his Company of Engineers, assisted by Company "G," of the 11th.  The point selected for crossing New River, was at Pck's Ferry, and the road to Shady Springs, on the main road to Princeton, had been blockaded with timber, rocks, and slides from the steep mountain sides - an intermingled and tangled mass.  No lumber or other material for boat building was furnished, and no known supply was nearer than Gauley Bridge, nearly one hundred miles distant.  The men took hold of the task with a will, and soon cleared the road to the river.  Trees were felled for gunwales for two boats of seventy-five feet each; parties were sent out to search for tools and material for boats; a sufficient quantity of lumber for several boats was found hidden from Floyd under a mow of hay - the owner declaring there was no lumber nearer than Princeton, then in the enemies' hands.  A flying ferry was constructed, 150 feet long and 16 feet wide; it would carry 1,800 men at a single trip, and cross the river in two minutes.  The Regiment was ordered to Gauley Bridge in July, and, soon after, Captain Lane was sent to Ohio to bring up two companies of recruits to fill the Regiment (as it had had only eight companies.)  He arrived in Cincinnati the day before Martial Law was declared on account of the Kirby Smith raid.  Cincinnati was destitute of troops, and her warehouses were filled with millions of dollars in value of military stores.  To repel this force, the Squirrel-hunters were called out.  Captain Lane was not permitted to leave the city, and was put on duty and placed in command of twenty-five hundred men and ordered to Anderson's Ferry, and afterwards to Fort Mitchell, in Kentucky.  He was kekpt on duty until October, when he joined his regiment at Clarksburg, W. Va., having received a commission as Colonel in response to a petition signed by every line officer in the regiment.  Colonel De Villiers had been dismissed from the service, and Lieutenant-Colonel Coleman killed at Antietam,
     The 11th Regiment held Summersville, on the Gauley, as one of the outposts of the Kanawha Division, maknig several movements into the enemy's lines with successful results.  In February, 1863, General Crook's Division was ordered to Nashville to re-
