Civil War–dated manuscript muster roll, signed “Chapman Biddle, Col. 121st P. V.,” one page both sides, 23 x 21, June 30, 1863. A document for the 121st Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers covering the period from April 30 through June 30, 1863, listing a detailed record of the force’s movements throughout the time period, in part: “May 2d…Left Pollock’s Mill and march to Chancellorsville & take position on Right…June 30th…[March from] Emmittsburg to Monity Tavern.” A further note adds: “The regt was marched immediately after muster to Marsh Creek Pa. Went on picket on July 1, 1863 to Gettysburg; went at once into action where Lieut. Funk was wounded & subsequently taken to hospital.” The document also describes the unit’s arms as “Excellent—Springfield rifled musket cal. 58 Jenks’ contract.” The opposing side lists the names of the soldiers in the 121st Regiment, their service information, and additional remarks. Fragile intersecting folds with several tape-repaired full separations (one passing through Biddle’s signature), scattered stains, and small areas of paper loss, otherwise very good condition.
