The 135th USCT, formed in Goldsboro NC, toward the end of the Civil War actually marched in the Grand Parade through Washington, DC on May 24th 1865 as a regiment in General Sherman's Army. The men of this unit provided pioneer duties with Sherman's Army on his march to the sea through Georgia and then on his march through South Carolina and North Carolina. They then marched on to DC and were eventually mustered out in Louisville KY. The unit was some 1,100 plus strong.
