Brotherhood of Arms Civil War US 100th Pennsylvania Infantry Series 3 Figure New

During the American Civil War it was the common infantryman that made up the backbone of the Union Army. From one bloody battlefield to the next he could be seen marching with musket at the shoulder to the next blast of the bugle or shouted command. Drawn-up in tight formations he fought side-by-side with his fellow 'pards.' The order of the day was to mass one's troops in line of battle and deliver as many punishing volleys of fire one could into a similarly aligned enemy. It was on this exact type of battle line that the 100th Pennsylvania Infantry found itself time and time again. The regiment was engaged so much that it was one of the 100 top fighting units in the Union Army. Not only did it wear this distinction but it also claimed two Medal of Honor winners within its ranks. Private Joseph B. Chambers and Sergeant Charles Oliver both won the award on the same day, March 25, 1865. Each man was personally responsible for capturing the enemies' colors during the fighting at Petersburg, VA.


The regiment was organized in Pittsburgh on August 31, 1861. The majority of the regiment was taken from counties in western Pennsylvania. Many of these soldiers were Scotch-Irish immigrants. They were dubbed the 'Roundheads' as a compliment to their forefathers, who had been staunch followers of Oliver Cromwell in the English Civil War two centuries earlier. The regiment would earn this distinction the hard way at many a battle. The regiment was assigned to the 9th Corps and like many units in the 9th found itself transferred and fighting on every front of the war. The 100th fought at Charleston, South Carolina, in Virginia at the second battle of Bull Run and at South Mountain. They were then transferred to participate in the Vicksburg campaign being waged in Mississippi. They then fought their way across Tennessee before being transferred back again to Virginia. There the campaigns continued, most notably in the battles around Petersburg. The 100th Pennsylvania finished the war with 16 officers and 208 enlisted men killed and mortally wounded. They were mustered out of the service on July 24, 1865.
