Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved by: Chair of Committee, Joseph Dawson Committee Members, James Bradford Joseph Cerami Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger December 2005 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT The Battle of Sailor’s Creek: A Study in Leadership. (December 2005) Cloyd Allen Smith Jr., B.A., Slippery Rock University Chair: Dr. Joseph Dawson The Battle of Sailor’s Creek, 6 April 1865, has been overshadowed by Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House several days later, yet it is an example of the Union military war machine reaching its apex of war making ability during the Civil War. Through Ulysses S. Grant’s leadership and that of his subordinates, the Union armies, specifically that of the Army of the Potomac, had been transformed into a highly motivated, organized and responsive tool of war, led by confident leaders who understood their commander’s intent and were able to execute on that intent with audacious initiative in the absence of further orders. After Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia escaped from Petersburg and Richmond on 2 April 1865, Grant’s forces chased after Lee’s forces with the intent of destroying the mighty and once feared iv protector of the Confederate States in the hopes of bringing a swift end to the long war.

  • 139Th REGIMENT, PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS Edward N
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF COMPANY A 139th REGIMENT, PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS Edward N. McConnell war broke out in April1861. the people of Western Penn- sylvania were ready to take, a firm stand against the dissolu- Whention of the Union by force. Pennsylvania came forward in response to a presidential call for troops by providing two companies of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps to protect the southern frontier of the state. Once the conflict was in progress these units were often incorporated into the regular volunteer regiments and sent into battle. By the late summer of 1862, the Union army was in dire nee,d of reinforcements. To answer this need the 139th Regiment, Pennsyl- vania Volunteers, was .recruited, in Western Pennsylvania and was composed of ten companies :Company. Afrom Mercer. County ;B and C companies from Armstrong County; D, E, F, G, J, and K com- panies principally from the cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny and Allegheny County; and Company H from Beaver and Allegheny counties. 1 Company A was organized from citizen volunteers in Mercer County on August 11, 1862, and reported to Camp Howe, near Pitts- burgh, on the fifteenth. It was the first fullyoperational company to report for duty.2 The rank and staff of Company A were furnished mainly from Delaware, Fairview, and Wolf Creek townships and the area around New Lebanon, Mercer, Hamburg, and Leesburg. When it came into service the officers of Company A were :Captain Abraham H.Snyder from Mercer, 1st Lieutenant A. C. Douglass and 2nd Sergeant William S. Leech of New Lebanon, 1st Sergeant John Orr of Lees- burg, 2nd Lieutenant McClane Thorn of Mercer, 1st Corporal E.
