139th Pennsylvania Infantry KIA Identified Officer
|
|
SOLD!!!
A very nice CDV of Lt. Charles Long of the 139th Pennsylvania Infantry. A great three quarter pose of an officer holding a sword identified to a unit listed in the top 300 fighting regiments! The Civil War Database says Long was died of his wounds on August 6, 1864. It doesn't say where he was wounded but in July it moved to Washington with the 6th corps to confront Gen. Early, and after Gen. Sheridan assumed command of the forces, it took an honor-able part in the victories achieved at the Opequan, Fisher's hill, and Cedar creek. I think it is safe to say he was wounded in one of those battles. The CDV has a Pittsburg, PA backmark and Long is buried in Pittsburg.
