DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from History of the One Hundred and Fortieth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers In the preparation of this work, which was authorized by the Regimental Association a year ago, no pains have been spared to make it an accurate, concise and readable history. In addition to the material accumulated from official records in the War Department and Congressional Library, many interesting facts and war-time incidents have been gleaned from local newspaper files, from note books kept by comrades, and from letters, brown with age and sometimes scarcely legible, which were written to the homefolk, in the camp, on the picket line or on the battlefield. In the verification of uncertain statements, the systematically conducted search for additional information, and the accumulation of material of every sort, the author has had the hearty support and invaluable assistance of his associates on the Historical Committee. With General Shallenberger, Chairman of the Publication Committee, wise in council, sane in judgment and unwearied in his devotion to the "dear old Regiment," at the Headquarters of official information, and with the Secretary of the Association, Harry J. Boyde, at its Headquarters in Western Pennsylvania, the writer has been in almost constant communication. Most generously and unselfishly have these comrades responded to every demand for additional assistance or information, which was made upon their time or patience. Not less of honor and grateful appreciation should be accorded also to Dr. John R. Paxton of the Committee, whose generous initiative has made the publication of the book a possibility, in a style worthy of the noble Regiment, whose achievements it records, and to Major Henry who gave his cordial assent to the plans of the Historian, and who, in the intervals between periods of extreme suffering, and but a short time before his death, dictated valuable information for his use. With the sanction of the committee this volume goes forth on its mission, in the hope that it may worthily revive the stirring memories of the past and help to kindle anew the fires of patriotism which burned so brightly in the dark days of civil strife.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from History of the One Hundred Forty-First Regiment: Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1862-1865 The present work owes its existence to the enterprise of the editor of the Bradford Reporter. In the latter part of the year 1883, he wrote to the author in regard to a series of articles to be printed in that paper under the caption of the "Battles of the One Hundred Forty-first Regiment." After conferring with some of the officers of the Regiment, the original plan was enlarged to include a History, instead of a series of sketches. Immediately the work of collecting material commenced, and the publication began in the June following. At that time only newspaper articles were contemplated, but friends suggested that the history of a Regiment that had done such gallant service ought to be in more permanent form, consequently the newspaper columns were changed to book pages, and the present work is the result. While no pains have been spared to secure accuracy of statement, and a reasonable fullness of detail, the manuscript was prepared amid a pressure of other work, it often happening that the last line was printed before another was written. Many infelicities of expression would have been corrected if a revision could have been made. Inexperience in proof reading which was usually done in the editor's office amid the hurry and bustle of getting ready for press, have caused numerous typographical errors to be overlooked. Only enough of general army movements have been given to indicate the work the Regiment was expected to do, and no criticism has been attempted. In addition to the account of its doings as a separate military organization, it was contemplated to give a brief account of each man connected with it. This was soon found to be impracticable, but of the two hundred and fifty members of it who lost their lives in the service, such sketches have been attempted Here the greatest difficulty has been experienced. In some eases the men were entire strangers to their comrades until they enlisted, and but little was positively known of them; in others, friends have removed and after much inquiry no trace of a relative has been found; in some others friends could furnish only approximate data, and in one or two instances near relatives have entirely, neglected to answer the letters written. In these sketches slight errors will undoubtedly be found. The muster rolls have been revised with great care, and an attempt has been made to combine an index with it, which is hoped will be found satisfactory, as well as the tables appended. Only those who have had experience in this work know its difficulties. A few slight errors overlooked while the book was in press have been noted. The preparation of the work has been encouraged and its labor greatly lightened by the cordial interest manifested in it by the members and friends of the Regiment. General Madill, in addition to giving me the use of his diary and private papers, has gone over the manuscript before it was given to the printer. Mrs. Colonel Watkins, Mrs. Major Spalding, and Mrs. Captain Atkinson, kindly allowed me to peruse both letters and diaries written by their honored and distinguished husbands.
