NOTES. —Recruited principally in Pittsburg and its vicinity. It left the State September 2, 1862, and went to Washington. It joined the army just before the battle of Antietam, and was, soon after, assigned to Rowley's (3d) Brigade, Newton's (3d) Division, Sixth Corps. It was under fire with slight loss at Fredericksburg, but in the second battle on that field—1863 — it was hotly engaged at Salem Church, where it lost ii killed, 54 wounded, and ii missing. The regiment entered upon the campaign of 1864, in Getty's Division, and at the Wilderness encountered its hardest fighting; it lost there 190 in killed and wounded, besides several who were missing ; Major Snyder fell from his horse, killed while cheering his men. At Cold Harbor the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth took part in the storming of the works, where Lieutenant-Colonel Moody and two line officers were killed. In the final and victorious assault on the works at Petersburg, the regiment took a prominent part, and the Color-Sergeant, David W. Young, was one of three color-bearers in the army—one in each corps — who received a congratulatory letter from General Grant, complimenting them as being the " three soldiers most conspicuous for gallantry in the final assault." Each letter was accompanied by a large sum of money which had been raised for that purpose by patriotic citizens. _08537
