ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINTH
REGIMENT.
Companies B and C of this regiment
were almost entirely made up of Armstrong men, and E and
F contained each a small number. The greatest number of
recruits was supplied by Allegheny county, but there
were nearly two companies from Beaver and Mercer. The
139th was organized at the place of rendezvous, Camp
Howe, near Pittsburgh, September 1, 1862, when the
defeat of the Union army at Bull Run had made apparent
the need of reinforcement. The field officers elected
were Frederick H. Collier, colonel; James D. Owens,
lieutenant colonel; William H. Moody, major. The
regiment was immediately ordered to the front and
departed on the evening of the day it was organized,
receiving arms at Harrisburg on the 2d and arriving at
Washington on the 3d. The first duty to which it was
assigned was that of burying the Union dead left upon
the field of Bull Run, which work being accomplished,
the regiment was hurried forward after the main army,
which was overtaken upon the 17th at Antietam. The 139th
was at once put in line, but did not become engaged. The
regiment was assigned to the 3d brigade, 3d division of
the 6th corps. In the battle of Fredericksburg, December
13, the 6th corps was held in reserve and, beyond being
under a heavy artillery fire, was not engaged. The
regiment lost thirteen men killed. In the
Chancellorsville campaign of May, 1863, the 139th, as a
part of Gen. Wheaton's brigade, did splendid service and
suffered severely, losing 123 men in killed, wounded and
missing. July 1, when the great fight at Gettysburg
opened, the 6th corps was resting thirty miles away,
and, immediately upon receiving orders, marched to the
scene of carnage. Wheaton's brigade arrived upon the 2d,
and, forming with the 139th upon the extreme left of the
line, swept across the open ground to the right of
Little Round Top and over the rugged, wooded knoll to
the right of the road leading over to the peach orchard,
where it took up a position which it firmly held,
checking the enemy in every attempt to penetrate the
Union lines. The regiment participated in the campaign
which was inaugurated after the return of the two armies
to the valley of Virginia, and afterward went into
winter quarters at Harper's Ferry. About the middle of
March, 1864, it returned and rejoined the corps at
Brandy Station, where it was transferred from the 3d to
the 2d division. A number of recruits had been added
during the winter, and the regiment presented an array
of nearly its original strength. While moving forward to
participate in the Wilderness campaign, and soon after
crossing the Rapidan, the division was suddenly attacked
and a two days' fight ensued, in which the federal force
was victorious. The 139th, however, lost in killed and
wounded 196, including nearly every commissioned
officer. In the operations about Spottsylvania C. H.,
which lasted from May 8 to the 21st, the regiment bore a
part, being almost constantly under fire and at times
contesting the ground with the most determined bravery.
At the North Anna, it was but lightly engaged, but at
Cold Harbor the fighting was most bloody and heroic.
June 15, the corps crossed the James and commenced
operations in front of Petersburg. July 9, the corps was
ordered to Washington to meet the enemy under Early,
advancing triumphantly through Maryland. Early was
repulsed easily and the corps was not engaged in any
decisive action until Sheridan took command, when the
hard-fought battles of Winchester, Fisher's Hill and
Cedar Creek followed. "In this triumphant campaign,
brilliant in victories beyond any other during the war,
the 139th bore an honorable part, attesting its bravery
by severe losses in every field." There being nothing
more for it to do in the valley, the 6th corps returned,
December 1, to its place in the lines before Petersburg,
where it remained in quiet during the winter. March 25,
1865, the 139th took part in an assault upon the enemy's
works. While the army was in front of Petersburg, Gen.
Grant received from patriotic citizens the sum of $460
to be presented to that soldier who should be the first
to plant the Union flag on the ramparts of Richmond,
upon its downfall. Richmond was not taken by assault,
but fell without resistance, as a consequence of the
successful assault on Petersburg, April 2. Gen. Grant
deemed that the donors' wishes would be best met by
dividing the sum among the three color sergeants most
conspicuous for gallantry in the three corps of the army
most warmly engaged in the final struggle. One of three
men designated by the commander of the 6th corps was
Sergeant David W. Young, of Co. E, 139th regt. The
action on the part of the brigade in which this regiment
was included was very spirited at the taking of
Petersburg and a considerable loss was involved.
Afterward, while pushing on to the support of Sheridan,
the 6th corps had a sharp engagement with the
confederate cavalry at Sailors' Creek. After the rebel
army had surrendered, the regiment moved with other
troops to the North Carolina border to support Sherman.
But, Johnston soon after surrendering, hostilities
ceased and the 139th returned by way of Richmond to the
neighborhood of Washington, where it was mustered out
June 21, 1865.
