 Spring 1862,  President Lincoln Requests 2 additional Bucktail Regiment be Formed!
                                          

Early August 1862, In various Counties across Pennsylvania Select men where recruited as Sharpshooters, On August 11th They headed for the State Capitol, to Be Mustered into service at Camp Curtain, There they Formed Regiment, Learned to be Soldiers and drilled, Officers where elected.

On October 21, 1862, the 149th and 150th received State colors. Lt. Colonel Thomas Chamberlin's memoir of his experiences in the 150th recalled the ceremony:

Secretary Thomas made the presentation speech on behalf of Governor Curtin, which was chiefly remarkable for its length, while the replies of Colonels Stone and Wister were brief and appropriate. After the presentation of the flags, three vigorous cheers were given for Governor Curtin, and the troops returned to their quarters.

On November 11 1862, they were joined by the newly recruited 143rd Pennsylvania Regiment under Colonel Edmund L. Dana, an engineer who had been practicing law. Although Stone, Wister, and Dana would cooperate fully, Daugherty said the men of the 149th and 150th Bucktails would never fully accept the newer unit of recruits from Luzerne, Lycoming, Susquehanna, and Wyoming Counties:

Having spent the winter together, the men of the 149th and 150th Pennsylvania had built a strong bond. While the officers of the three regiments were cordial to each other, the men had developed a fierce pride at having been recruited specifically into the Bucktails. The 143rd Pennsylvania had been assigned merely to fill out the command. As a result they were seen as outsiders.

One of those outsiders, Private Avery Harris, particularly resented Stone's preference for the two Bucktail units, especially Stone's own 149th. Harris' recollections would tarnish Stone's reputation years later and would echo in the histories of the war.

While Stone and Wister were organizing their new Bucktail Regiments at Camp Curtin and preparing to move them to Washington, the original Bucktails fought in the Second Battle of Bull Run on August 29-30. The battle, intended to protect Washington from the threat that brought the new Bucktails to the city, was a defeat for the Union forces under Major General John Pope. After suffering extensive losses, he conducted a well-ordered retreat across Bull Run Creek to the city, where he was relieved of his command. Glover explained that the original Bucktails were the last of the Federal troops to cross Bull Run as the army retreated to Washington:

Noting that the bridge [across Bull Run] was unguarded, the corps commander directed the eager Kane to collect some artillery and place it on the left bank. This was done, and the "brave little battalion" [in the words of General McDowell] of Bucktails remained at the bridge far into the night and until all the troops had crossed. They then destroyed the bridge and followed the rest of the Army.

Although the 149th and 150th were to fight valiantly, the original Bucktails, who had earned their reputation on the field of battle, were not pleased that their name and symbol, the Bucktail, was officially bestowed on the new recruits. As Glover explained:

The Bucktails had started something of a reputation. It was only to be expected that there were those who resented any new outfits adopting what many of the First Rifles considered exclusively theirs. The name, so they argued, not only belonged to them by right of first appropriation, but by dint of hard fighting. On the other hand, no one could say that any member of the regiment had done more to make "Bucktail" a respected name and symbol than Major Roy Stone. The 149th having shown their bravery on July 1st 1863 in Gettysburg. The war would end in 1865, but the argument would not.
As a result, Stone's and Wister's regiments were known as the New Bucktails, the Second and Third Bucktails, and even as the Bogus Bucktails. Which The  149th PVI Bucktails Put to rest after Presenting the 42d PVI Bucktails, a Flag to replace the Colors Lost.  The Bond was then formed!

                                                Capt. John C. Johnson    Compnay K

                        "We are again assembled on the field where we fought more tham a quarter Century ago, and
                           where we left many of our comrades wounded, mangled, and dying. Time has worked great
                  changes since that day. Many who escaped death here, afterwards fell gloriously on other fields
                            of battle. With us, the remnant, time has dealt as with all mankind. Many now see with dimmed 
                  vision, walk with a halting gait and bended form, while our heads are silvered over by the frosts 
                   of time. We begin to see that the day is not far distant, when we shall reach the last camping 
                   ground and hear the last bugle call of taps, and lie down to a slumber that will awaken only at
                   reveille of resurrection morn.
                       But such is the common lot, and like true soldiers we will go on to join the innumerable throng
                   who have recieved their reward beyond the shining shore.
                   But here, today, we recall the past; we summon up to memory's view the faces of dead and living
                   companions in arms. We recall the incidents of field and camp and march. We greet each other 
                   with sacred memories: elbow to elbow we have faced the the serried ranks of the enemy. Amid
                   carnage of the red field we have parted touch with comrades. We cannot here recount even 
                   those most touching incidents. It is, however, eminently proper here to remember that our comrades
                   who laid down their lives on this field where brave men. And it may be forgiven us if we mention
                   that in this great battle no Pennsylvania regiment lost a larger number than did ours.
                       I have been told that it is now taught at West Point the the change of front by regiment, that our
                    regiment made on this field under fire, was a movement of such difficulty that it has not been done
                    elsewhere since the battle of Waterloo. These are matters, however, of personal interest alone.  
                    It is pleasant to think, and we justly have a pride in the thought, that history will record that in this
                    battle of battles   The One Hundred and Forty-nineth did her full duty nobly and well."

Elizabeth Salome Myers, resident of Gettysburg (Adams County.) PA during the Civil War worked as an assistant to the principal of the Gettysburg public schools. At first stunned by the carnage, the 21-year-old soon pitched in to help the wounded who filled Gettysburg's churches, homes and barns in the summr of 1863.

"Sallie" Myers wrote of her experiences and the Last days of Sergeant Alexander Company D, Mortally wounded at Company Headquarters:

"I went to the church, where men were lying (on) the pews and on the floors. I knelt by the first one inside the door and said, "What can I do for you?" He replied, "Nothing, I am going to die." To be thus met by the first one addressed was more than my nerves could stand and I went hastily out, sat down on the church steps and cried.

In a little while I re-entered the church hospital and spoke again to the dying man . He was Sergeant Alexander Stewart of the 149th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment. He spoke of his home, his aged father and mother, of his wife, and of his younger and only brother who had been severely wounded and was then at home, and asked me to take their addresses and send them his dying message...

He lingered until Monday, July 6. He had been sinking gradualy all evening. About 9 he had a spell of coughing until 10 o'clock, he suffered dreadfully. I held him in my arms until nearly 11 when his head sank on the pillow and he died with only a slight struggle. (He) was buried in the graveyard of the United Presbyterian Church, in which his father had been baptized 63 years before."

                           Curwensville's bucktail monument was dedicated on October 11, 2003.  An
                                                                 octogenarian master mason took two years to complete the sitting wall, which
                                                                 is made from local sandstone, and in 2006 landscaping, lighting and
                                                                 interpretive markers were added.

                                                                The monument contains the rosters of Co. K of the 42th PA and Co. B of the
                                                                149th.  Both units were recruited from Curwensville.  The center piece has
                                                                Edwin Forbes' sketch of a Bucktail. Reverse side of the rosters are those
                                                                unit's battle engagements.

Capt. Hagins,

. So far and to my knowledge there aren't any other members of the 149th. Realize that I've just just started this venture. Time may prove me wrong on this, but at this point I know of no one else from the 149th. There are members buried in Robinson Run Cemetery, but I would think that you already know that. I've not looked for them, but from a book that was written by one of the company, I am confident in writing that there are members buried there. As I would think there should be members of the Company D buried in the Oakdale Cemetery. At least going by family names, I would think so.
The grave yard that I am working on is a small church cemetery, with around 50 or so people buried in it. It will be a treasure trove of history though, due to its age. The oldest legible grave dates 1810. The church was founded, going by memory here, in 1792 and is to the best of my knowledge the third oldest church in the area. As a father of two young men who have severed in Iraq you needn't thank me. My sons and I are just going to do what should have been done for the last 147 years. Now I'm sure that during the 19th century the graveyard was kept up. During at least the last half of the 20th, it has not been. It will be from here on.
If you have any questions or ideas feel free to share them with me. I have also contacted a local VFW in regards to acquiring a GAR flag holder for the grave. It goes without saying that one should be there. I will also let you know if I find any othe members of the 149th.

Thank you,
Bob

I am a Bucktail
Tried and true
I fought at Gettysburg
and the Wilderness too
Was wounded three times
and run out of lead
had to borrow my shots
from the unburied dead
They were my friends
my Comrades in arms
now they have gone
to Our almighty God
Will I sleep tonight
will I cover my head
will I remember there faces
or will I tread
I am a Bucktail, tried ant true
so give a Huzzagh for my friends
who were too.
They were brave, a noble lot
and may they rest in peace
for they gave thier lot
I am a Bucktail

                                                                                     TheWellsboroAgitator - 149thRegimentReunion     Tuesday September  6th,  1887

Last Tuesday there was a reunion of the 149th Regiment at Williamsport.  Fifty veterans were present, and for many of them it was the first meeting since being mustered out at the close of the war.  Among those present from this county were Surgeon William T. Humphrey, Chaplain J. F. Calkins, and members of Company A as follows:  Lieutenant Blackwell, Lieutenant G. D. Brooks, G. H. Lawton, Alfred Boyden, Daniel Butler, L. H. Butler, A. O. Douglas, O. R. Warriner, Joshua Ingalls, S. A. Hiltbolt, R. E. Pond, Asa Smith, John E. Chaffee, H. D. Smead and Peter Paul.  Captain A. B. Horton, was among the members of Company G.  A committee was appointed to assist the State Committee in the erection of the monument for the Regiment on the Gettysburg battlefield, which is to be unveiled on July 1, 1888.  It is the intention of the Regiment to go into camp on the battlefield on that day, and all are expected to arrive at Gettysburg on the day previous.  The records show that the Regiment had a larger number of men killed at the battle of Gettysburg than any other regiment.  Out of 420 men, 69 were killed; 50 of these were buried in the National cemetery at Gettysburg.  Some are lying in graves marked “unknown.”  It is the intention to have on the monument to be erected next summer the name of every man who was killed.  A camp-fire was held in the evening, at which Rev. J. F. Calkins and Capt. A. B. Horton made addresses.  It was a very enjoyable reunion.  (Tuesday, September 6, 1887, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)
