Love this, whenever I look at a civil war order of battle I wonder how individual regiments were armed and equipped.

The entire bidding process, contracting award info, procurement, and state issue records for the Pennsylvania Reserves are at the Pennsylvania State Archives. Unfortunately they aren't digitized yet, so you have to physically visit them or have a researcher get the info for you.

You should look into the 139th PVI Regiment. A Pittsburg Regiment that mustered in Sep 1st 1862. They were in the center of the storm through out the civil war and were a gallent band of lads. They are a very intesting unit.

So happy to see my 3rd great grandpa's unit get more attention a lot of people still don't know about them. They also served on President Lincoln's bodyguard detail.

Loved this! I look forward to many more videos like this about individual regiments. I have a bunch of favorites I'd like to see covered - particularly ones from the Iron Brigade like the 2nd or 6th Wisconsin. The 1st Minnesota would also be good, with their ridiculous shrunken red shirts.

Wow! Whereas I knew that units were supplied and equipped by the States here in the Confederacy I did not know they had the same practice in the U.S. Of course I did know that the States RAISED units in the North as well, I had always assumed that the Federal Gov't took charge of arming, supplying and providing their uniforms from the beginning.

Thanks for the great video! I have two questions relating to cartridge boxes seen in the video. @6:23 The cartridge box doesn't look like the 1857 or 1861 Box, but a March of 1864 box but without the box plate. What model box is it and why the lack of a box plate? You have another box without a box plate at @15:10. I am curious as to the story behind that box as well.
@CivilWarDigitalDigest2 жыл бұрын
It was a mess on our part. We grabbed the wrong box the day of photography. You certainly are correct that is a 64 box showing.
@redjoshman2 жыл бұрын
@@CivilWarDigitalDigest No problem, I figured it was some specific PA contract variant that the unit received and used early in their service and that the second box was a specific spencer type box that lacked the box plate as well. Thanks for being so upfront and honest about an understandable mistake.

I have a .52 caliber dropped round found at gettysburg 30 years ago where they would’ve bivouaced on the night of july 2nd. Is it possible they had some of these weapons that early? My research says yes as theonly other units that had them at that time would’ve been the cavalry and they weren’t anywhere near where this olwas found

You mentioned that the "sharpshooter" unit moniker meant skirmisher, not sniper. The US did use sharpshooter regiments for skirmishing, but they also had shooting skill requirements to join.(The Berdan regiments for sure did) VERY skilled marksmen that were out front spying on the enemy. Not snipers though. Definitely not. 😑
