•THIRTY-NINTH INFANTRY. 139'

HISTORY OF THE THIRTY-NINTH INFANTRY.

The organization of this Regiment was commenced as soon as the news of the firing onFort Sumpter reached Chicago.

General T. O. Osborn was one of its contemplated field oflBicers, and labored zealously

to get it accepted under the first call for troops, but did not accomplish his object. TheState having filled its quota without this Regiment, efforts were made to get it accepted

into the State service of Missouri, but without success. The Regiment had already

assumed the name of His Excellency, the Governor of Illinois, and was known as the

"Yates Phalanx." Governor Yates manifested an earnest desire to see it brought into the

service, and sent General O, L, Mann (then known as Captain) to Washington, with strong

commendatory letters to the President and Secretary of War, urging the acceptance of

the Regiment, which at this time had over 800 men on the rolls.

The Regiment was accepted on the day succeeding the first Bull Run disaster, and

Austin Light, of Chicago, was appointed Colonel; and under his direction the organization

was completed, and left Camp Mather. Chicago, on the morning of October 13, 1861. Theday previous to the departure, a beautiful stand of colors was presented to the Regimentby Miss Helen Arion, daughter of Colonel Arion. It had also won a handsome flag at a

prize drill, under the auspices of the Illinois Agricultural Society, then in session at

Chicago.

Oa leaving Chicago, the Regiment reported to Brigadier General Curtis, at Camp Ben-ton, St. Louis. Missouri.

October 29, the Regiment received orders to proceed to Williamsport, Maryland, whereit was fully armed and equipped. December 11, it pressed on to Hancock, Maryland, at

which point it crossed the Potomac River, and was distributed in detachments along the

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to assist in guarding that important line of transit.

January 3, 1862, the advance of a rebel force 15,000 strong, under command of "Stone-

wall" Jackson, attacked Companies D, I and K, in the command of Major Mann, near Bath,

Virginia, and after a brisk little fight, were repulsed; then, with two pieces of artillery,

and a liberal display of strategy and courage, the enemy was held in check for nearly

twenty-four hours. Company G, under command of Captain Slaughter, was also attacked

at Great Cacapon Bridge, but repulsed the enemy with considerable loss. A heavy force

was approaching, and this Company, not being able to ford the Potomac, retreated up the

railroad to Cumberland, Maryland. Colonel Osborn, with the remaining portion of the

Regiment, was simultaneously attacked at Alpine Station. Companies C and F, in com-

mand of Captain Munn, drew into ambush about five hundred (500) of Ashby's Cavalry.

and, after killing and wounding 30, routed them. The Regiment finally forded the Potomac,

sustaining no serious loss, except in the matter of camp and garrison equipage, and took

up a new position on the Maryland shore.

Cumberland was at this period threatened, and the Thirty-ninth was ordered to makea forced march of forty (40) miles, over terrible roads, which was accomplished in the short

space of eighteen hours. From Cumberland the Regiment was ordered to New Creek,

Virginia, to guard a bridge, and was here assigned to the First Brigade of General Lander's

Division, and was soon ordered to Patterson's Creek, below Cumberland. At this period

the Regiment suffered seriously from sickness, occasioned by constant exposure andexcessive duty. The weather was intensely cold, and cattle cars were the only quarters


to be had for the command. But the men endured these hardships for over two monthswith scarcely a murmur, notwithstanding their comrades were almost daily dying aroundthem. These days and weeks will ever be remembered as being more terrible than werethose in which the enemy was confronted on the battlefield.

From Patterson's Creek the Thirty-ninth took the advance, protecting the workmen in

repairing the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to Martinsburg, The Regiment from Martins-

burg, participated in a reconnoissance to Strasburg, and, on its return, took part in the

brilliant fight at Winchester, March 23, 1862, that resulted in the utter defeat of "Stonewall"Jackson's forces. The Regiment suffered but little during the engagement, owing to its

position, which was the extreme left. The ensuing day it tookl the advance in pursuingthe enemy down the Shenandoah Valley, as far as New Market, where it was detached andsent into the Luray Valley, to protect bridges over the South Branch of the ShenandoahRiver.

Major S. W. Munn, in command of four companies, met a small cavalry force at Colum-bia Bridge, and, after a brisk skirmish, dislodged the enemy, putting out the fire whichthey had applied to the structure, and capturing thirty (30> prisoners.

The Thirty-ninth left the Valley the 1st of May, 1862, with Shields' Division, and makinga continued march of one hundred and fifty (150) mileib, reported to General McDowell at

Fredericksburg. After one day's rest, the news of General Banks' defeat in the Valleyarrived, and the Regiment was ordered back to the Valley, making forced marches over a

distance of one hundred and eighty miles. After a few days rest, the Regiment wasordered to Alexandria, Virginia, and immediately embarked on transports for the JamesRiver, and reached Harrison's Landing in time to take part in the closing scenes of Gen-erar McClellan's seven days' fight and seven nights' retreat. While at Harrison'^ Landing,the Regiment was kept at the front, on picket duty, and had a series of unimportant skir-

mishes, until about the middle of August, when it participated in the second Malvern Hill

fight, but without material injury. From this point a number of ofiicers and men were sent

away sick.

The Regiment was here assigned to the First Brigade, Peck's Division, Keyes' Corps,and retreated with the army to Fort Monroe. September 1, it was sent to Suffolk, Virginia,

where it remained for the space of three months, fortifying the place, and making frequent

expeditions to the Blackwater, where heavy skirmishes frequently occurred. On oneoccasion it participated in the capture of two pieces of artillery and forty prisoners.

At Suffolk, about the first of December, Major S. W. Munn resigned, on account of ill

health, and returned home.

On the 23d of January, 1863, the Regiment broke camp, and marched a distance of

seventy-five miles, to the Chowan River, where it took transports, and reported to GeneralFoster, at Newbern. North Carolina. Colonel T. O. Osborn was here placed in commandof the First Brigade, O. S. Ferry's Division of Foster's Corps. A beautiful flag was herepresented to the Regiment, from His Excellency. Governor Yates, bearing his portrait,

and which was carried through all the subsequent battles of the Thirty-ninth.

January 20, 1863. the Regiment again embarked, accompanying General Foster's expedi-

tion to Hilton Head, South Carolina. It remained in camp on St, {Helena Island, SouthCarolina, for several weeks, where a most favorable opportunity for drill and discipline

was diligently improved. An experienced inspecting officer here paid the thirty-ninth a

flattering compliment, by pronouncing it the best drilled and the best equipped Regimentin the Division.

The 1st of April, the Regiment took part in General Hunter's expedition againstCharleston, and. after landing on Folly Island, took a prominent part in the erection of

batteries with which Morris Island was taken.

The Regiment was next ordered on to Morris Island, where it was assigned to GeneralAlfred H. Terry's Division, and again worked zealously and long in the trenches, parallels

and forts which resulted in the final capture of Fort Wagner. A day or two previous to

the fall of this fort Colonel Osborn was temporarily disabled by the premature dischargeof a heavy piece of ordnance. The Regiment formed the advance of their Brigade, tempo-rarily commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Mann, and occupied the trenches on the night that

it was discovered the fort was being evacuated. As soon as this fact was known, the Thirty-

ninth entered the fort, captured the enemy's rearguard, cut several fuses that were laid

with the design to blow up the structure on the approach of the Union troops, and planted

the Regimental colors on the parapet some two hours before the time appointed for the gen-

eral charge.


At the time the fort was taken possession of, the following telegram was sent to head-quarters:

"HEADQUARTERS OFFICER OP THE TRENCHES."Fort Wagner, Morris Island, S. C, August 7th, 1863.

"To Major General Q. A. Gilmore:

"The Field Officer of the Trenches sends his compliments and congratulations to theMajor General commanding, from the bomb-proofs of fallen Fort Wagner, and wishes to

assure him that hts confidence in God and General Gilmore is yet unshaken."

A portion of the Thirty-ninth temporarily garrisoned this work, and the balance occupiedFore Gregg, which fell simultaneously with Fort Wagner. Captain J. Woodruff, a very gal-

lant officer, was killed about this time in Fort Gregg, by a shell thrown from the enemy'sbatteries on Sullivan's Island. The loss in killed and wounded during these four months of

siege duty was not very heavy, compared to the constant bombardment to which the Regi-ment was subjected; yet it was far more trying to the nerve and courage of the commandthan a hotly contested battle would have been.

After assisting in strengthening and remodeling the defenses on Morris Island, theThirty-ninth returned to Folly Island, and soon embarked for Hilton Head, where the Regi-ment remained for several weeks, and then re-enlisted, being the first organization in theDepartment to accept Veteran honors and responsibilities. It left Hilton Head on veteranfurlough, for Chicago, Illinois, via New York, on the 1st of January, 1864, amid great en-

thusiasm. An entire Brigade, with several Generals and their Staffs, turned out to escort it

to the place of embarkation. The Regiment reached Chicago the middle of January, 450

strong, and was tendered a fine ovation by the citizens, in Bryan Hall.

After the Regiment had been recruited to seven hundred and fifty (750) strong, it left,

early in March, 1864, for Washington, D. C. and from thence sailed to Georgetown, Virginia,

where it was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Tenth Army Corps. It thenembarked, the 5th day of May, 1864, with General Butler's expedition up the James River.

On reaching Bermuda Hundred, the Regiment took the advance on the march into the in-

terior for several miles, when the entire command was halted, and intrenchments thrownup. After remaining for a day or two, the whole column was moved forward to Drury'sBluff. The Thirty-ninth was located on the extreme left of General Butler's command onthe 16th day of May. 1864, when the entire force under Butler was attacked and driven back.The Regiment was at one time completely surrounded by the enemy, but succeeded in cut-

ting their way out, after great loss. To use General Butler's own words, "the Thirty-ninth

fought most gallantly, and have suffered most severely." Colonel Osborn, Major Linton,

Captain Phillips, Captain Wheeler, Lieutenant Kidder and Lieutenant Kingsbury were all

wounded—the latter losing an arm. Captain James Wightman and Adjutant J. D. Walkerwere killed while gallantly cheering on the men. The entire loss in this engagement, in-

cluding killed, wounded and missing, reached nearly two hundred (200).

The Regiment was again ordered out on the 20th of May, to dislodge the enemy fromsome temporary works near Wier Bottom Church, which was accomplished in a most gallant

manner, with a loss of forty (40) in killed and wounded. The Thirty-ninth captured in this

charge a large number of prisoners, includingGeneral Walker, who was seriously wounded.Lieutenant Colonel Mann was also seriously wounded in this engagement, thus leaving thecommand without a field officer. Colonel Munn was incapacitated for field duty the rest of

the winter. General Mann read his farewell order to the remnant of his old command.At this place. Surgeon Charles M. Clark, who had previously been detached from the

Regiment as Operating Surgeon, was placed in charge of the Tenth Army Corps FlyingHospital— a position which he filled with acknowledged skill and ability. After the mergingof the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps into the Twenty-fourth Army Corps, Surgeon Clark wasappointed Chief Operating Surgeon of the Corps, which position he retained until the sur-

render of the rebel army. Subsequently, he was placed in charge of the Military Hospital

at Richmond, where he remained until its final abandonment in September, 1865, being thenordered to Norfolk, Virginia, as chief medical officer of the district, and in charge of the

Post Hospital.

On the 2d of June, the Regiment was again called into action, on nearly the same groundas on the 20th of May, in which engagement it lost, in killed, wounded and missing, someforty (40) men. Lieutenant Albert W. Fellows was killed soon after the action commenced,and Lieutenant Al. C. Sweetzer was severely wounded in both legs, losing one by amputa-tion above the knee.

On the 16th, 17th and 18th days of June, the Regiment came in contact with GeneralLongstreet's Corps, near the Petersburg and Richmond pike, and fought him night andday. Captain O. F. Rudd, a most accomplished officer, was mortally wounded in this affair,

and the Regiment lost about thirty-five (35) men in killed and wounded.


On the 14th day of August, the Regiment crossed to the north side of the James River,

and operated with the Army of the James, in conjunction with the Second Corps, under the

direction of General Grant, in a reconnoissance toward the worlcs near Richmond. On the

16th. the Brigade to which the Thirty-ninth was attached was ordered to charge the worlis

of the enemy at Deep Run. The enemy offered a most stubborn resistance, not giving bacli

even when our men mounted their works, and fought them hand to hand; but Western valor

proved more than a match for them. Our boys broke their lines, capturing a large numberof prisoners.

During the action, and just after gaining the earth-works, Henry M. Hardenburg. a pri-

vate of Company G. encountered the Color Sergeant of an Alabama Regiment, carrying its

regimental colors. A desperate conflict at once took place between the two—one to capture

and the other to defend that stand of colors. After several minutes hard fighting, in which

both received wounds, Hardenburg dispatched his enemy, and captured the colors, which hepresented in person to Major General Birney, commanding Tenth Corps. General Butler,

learning of the affair, promoted Private Hardenburg to a First Lieutenant in a colored regi-

ment; hut the brave boy was shot dead while in the trenches before Petersburg, September28, 1864. two days before his commission arrived.

In this battle of 16th of Augus't. the Thirty-ninth lost one hundred and four (104) men, in

killed, wounded and missing. Captain L. A. Baker, commanding the Regiment, was shot

through the leg, causing amputation; Captain Chauncey Williams and Lieutenant JohnFrane were killed. Lieutenant James Lemons mortally wounded. Lieutenant N. C. Warnerseriously wounded and leg amputated, and Lieutenant C. F. Knapp and Lieutenant M. L.

Butterfield were slightly wounded.In the latter part of August, the Regiment was ordered to the trenches in front of Peters-

burg, where it was almost constantly on duty, and under fire both night and day. In the

latter part of September, the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps moved over to the north side of

the James River again, and on the 7th of October the Thirty-ninth met the enemy, near

Chapin's farm, who made three desperate charges upon the hastily constructed works be-

hind which our boys were stationed. But they were driven back each time, with fearful loss

to the Union troops.

On the 13th of October, the Thirty ninth took part in a charge, under command of

Major General A. H. Terry, upon the enemy's works near Darlington road, seven miles

from Richmond. Out of about two hundred and fifty (250) men who went into that

charge, sixty fell, struck by the enemy. Captain George Heritage, commanding the

Regiment, was severely wounded in two places. Lieutenant C. J. Wilder was killed, andLieutenant N. E. Davis mortally wounded. The Regiment now fell under command of

First Lieutenant James Hannum. Company C, there being but two other oflBcers besides

himself left—one the Adjutant, the other a Second Lieutenant—the balance killed, or ab-

sent, wounded. Several, however, had previously been mustered out. by reason of expira-

tion of service.

On the 27th of October, the Regiment took part in a reconnoissance near the place last

mentioned, and had a brisk engagement with the enemy. In November, Colonel Osbornreturned to the Regiment, but not fully recovered from his wounds. He was soon placed

in command of the First Brigade. First Division. Twenty-fourth Corps, to which the Thirty-

ninth was attached. In December, Firs-t Lieutenant H. A. Plimpton, having received a Cap-tain's commission, and being mustered on the same, took command of the Regiment. Dur-ing the winter, the Thirty-ninth remained behind the works on the north side of the James,where it was thoroughly equipped anew, and attained great proficiency in drill, for which it

had excellent advantages, that were well improved.During the winter it had frequent skirmishes with the enemy, but no regular engage-

ment. In March, it received about one hundred recruits, and on the 27th of the same monthtook part in the military movements which finally resulted in wresting the strongholds of

Petersburg and Richmond from the grasp of the enemy. It crossed to the left of the Arrayof the Potomac, and on the 2d day of April took part in the charge upon Fort Gregg, the keyto the works about Petersburg and Ricnmond. It was an inclosed work, situated upon aneminence, the country surrounding which was open, and commanded by five other forts

and redoubts. Immediately surrounding it was a ditch six feet deep and twelve feet wide.

It fell to the lot of the First Brigade to charge and take the fort; and the Thirty-nintn wasthe first Regiment to gain the ditch, and the first to plant her flag upon the structure. Outof nine of her color-guard, seven were shot down. After gaining the ditch the conflict be-

came most desperate. On account of the abruptness and slippery nature of the side of the

ditch, it was only by digging foot-holds in the earth, with swords and bayonets, that the

boys were enabled to gain the parapet, where the struggle was hand-to-hand, and lasted for

the period of half an hour ere success crowned the effort, which was the capture of the fort


and the entire garrison. Out of one hundred and fifty (150) members of the Thirty-ninthwho went into that flgrht, (the balance of the Regiment being on picket duty,) sixteen (16)

•were shot dead, and now lie buried where they fell, and forty-flve (45) more severely

wounded, many of whom have since died.

For the gallantry displayed by the Thirty-ninth in this charge, a magnificent brazeneagle, cast for the purpose, was presented and placed upon the regimental color staff by the

hand of Major Greneral John Gibbons, at the time of a grand review of the Corps. The eaglebore the following inscription; "Presented to the Thirty-ninth Illinois Veteran Volunteers,

by Major General John Gibbon, commanding Twenty-fourth Army Corps, for gallantry in

the assault upon Fort Gregg, Petersburg, Virginia, April 2. 1865." The Color Sergeant,Henry M. Day, who was severely wounded while planting the colors upon the fort, was re-

warded by a medal of honor from the War Department. Colonel Thomas O. Osborn was ap-

pointed a Brigadier General by brevet, and Captain H. A. Plimpton a Major by brevet, for

gallantry on the occasion. After this affair, the Regiment took the advance of the Army of

the James in the pursuit after General Lee, and succeeded in heading his army off after

forced marches (forty miles in one day) and frequent skirmishes at Appomattox CourtHouse, and where, after a brisk engag'ement on the 9th day of April, 1865, in which the

Thirty-ninth had several men wounded, it had the proud satisfaction of witnessing the final

surrender of General Robert E. Lee, with his great Army of Northern Virginia.

The Regiment was retained at Appomattox Court House for several days, as guard overthe baggage and camps of the conquered army. It was then ordered to Richmond, where it

remained until August. On the 11th of May, 1865, Brevet Brigadier General Osborn wasmade full Brigadier General, and Brevet Major Plimpton, full Major.

From Richmond, the Regiment was sent to Norfolk, Virginia, reporting to BrevetBrigaaier General O. L. Mann. Colonel of the Regiment, who, atter recovering partially

from his wounds received on the 20th day of May, 1864, had been appointed in January, 1865.

Provost Marshal for the District of Eastern Virginia, and soon after breveted BrigadierGeneral and placed in command of said district.

The Thirty-ninth remained on duty at Norfolk until the 5th day of December. 1865, at

which time General Order No. lai was issued from Headquarters. Department of Virginia,

ordering its muster-out of service, which was accomplished on the 6th of December, and onthe afternoon of the 7th, the Regiment started for Springfield, Illinois, for its final muster-out and payment, via Chicago, where it arrived on the afternoon of the lOth of December.The following morning it continued its way to Springfield, arriving at Camp Butler on the

morning of the 12th inst.

On the morning of December 16th, the Regiment, prior to its final payment, was as-

sembled in the chapel, where the ceremony of surrendering the flags of the Regiment to

the State authorities transpired. The Adjutant General, thanking them for their gallantry,

and congratulating them on the happy termination of their services, received the old battle-

worn relics, making a brief but appropriate speech. General Mann read his farewell orderto the remnant of his old command.

The Regiment was then paid oft' by companies, and 'ere the day closed, the gallant old

Thirty-ninth Regiment of Illinois Volunteers, ceased to exist as an organization.
