| One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Infantry. — Col., Peter
Davidson; Lieut.-Col., Horace H. Willsie; Maj., Solomon Z. Roth. This
regiment was mustered into the U. S. service as a 100-day regiment at
Peoria on June 1, 1864, and on June 8 it moved for St. Louis by
steamboat, arriving there on the 10th, thence to Columbus, Ky., where it
remained about a week, when it was moved to Cairo as a garrison for that
place. After its term of enlistment had expired it went to Missouri, and
after having driven Gen. Price to a remote part of the state, was moved
to Peoria, Ill., where it was mustered out on Oct. 25, 1864, having been
in the service nearly five months. |
