3) Historical BackgroundSpoilerThe 83rd Pennsylvania was a volunteer infantry regiment in the Union Army during the American Civil War. They participated in almost every major battle in the East, including Seven Days Battles, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Petersburg and Appomattox Court House.
As one of four regiments in the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, V Corps, Army of the Potomac, they fought alongside the 20th Maine, 44th New York, and the 16th Michigan in the spirited defense of Little Round Top in which regiment commander Colonel Strong Vincent was mortally wounded.
The 83rd Pennsylvania suffered the second-highest number of battle deaths among Union Army infantry regiments during the war, behind only the 5th New Hampshire.
During Gettysburg, they were the regiment next to the 20th Maine. They held the top of Little Round Top where the Colonel, Strong Vincent mounted a large boulder, Vincent brandished a riding crop given to him by his wife and shouted to his men "Don't give an inch!" A bullet struck him through the thigh and the groin and he fell. Due to the determination of the 20th Maine, the 44th New York, the 83rd Pennsylvania and the 16th Michigan Infantry Regiments, the Union line held against the Confederate onslaught. Vincent was carried from the hill to a nearby farm, where he lay dying for the next five days, unable to be transported home due to the severity of his injury.
The commander of the Army of the Potomac, Maj. Gen. George G. Meade, recommended Vincent for promotion to brigadier general on the evening of July 2. The promotion was dated July 3, 1863, but it is doubtful that Vincent knew about the honor before he died. The promotion was not approved by Congress, and it still hasn't been discussed.[close]

UniformSpoiler

HistorySpoilerThe Continental Morgan Guard, or company A 31st Virginia Militia, began organizing on June 22, 1855 in Winchester, Frederick county, VA. However, they adopted the more appropriate July 4, 1855 as their birthday. The unit was named to perpetuate the honor of General Daniel Morgan of Revolutionary War fame. The first captain of the company was Hugh Holmes lee who resigned in 1856.
The unit adopted uniforms resembling the pattern of the Continental Army. The coats were made a blue wool with buff cassimire trim .
On April 17, 1861 Virginia seceded from the Union and Governor Letcher called out the militia to defend the state. On the 18th the C.M.G. enrolled at Winchester for one year of service. They would become Company K of the 5th Regiment, and had 133 officers and men. John Avis of Jefferson County was it's first Captain. They were enlisted in to Confederate service on June 20, 1861. These men would see many battles with Stonewall Jackson and the Army of Northern VA.[close]
