Chapter 2
Armstrong County in The War of the Rebellion

139th Regiment


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.
