The 39th Mass. Infantry was organized at Lynnfield, Mass., in the summer of 1862; Co. D was mustered into service in July, and the remaining nine companies in August and the early days of September. It left the State for Washington September 6, under command of Col. P. Stearns Davis, and was active in guarding the Potomac, being posted at Edwards' and Conrad's ferries, serving in October at Seneca Creek and vicinity, and making winter quarters at Poolesville, Md. It was placed on guard and patrol duty at Washington from April to July, 1864, and moving then to Harper's Ferry, joined the Army of the Potomac at Funkstown, becoming part of the 2d Division, 1st Corps. It moved with the army to the Rappahannock, took part in the operations in the vicinity and in the Mine Run campaign. As part of the 1st Brigade, 2d Division, 5th Corps, it was active at the Wilderness May 4-6 and shared in the movement to Spotsylvania, losing at Laurel Hill on May 8 and 10. It moved to Bethesda Church and Cold Harbor, and reaching Petersburg on the morning of June 17, took part in the siege, being assigned, June 24, to a position in the vicinity of Jerusalem Plank Road; while here (on July 11), Colonel Davis was mortally wounded. The regiment took part in the movement to the Weldon Railroad in August, and in the battle of the 19th and 20th Lieutenant-Colonel Peirson, in command, was severely wounded, his place being taken by Capt. F. R. Kinsley who was made prisoner the following day, leaving the regiment for several months under Captain Nelson. It engaged in the expedition to the Weldon Railroad in December, took part at Hatcher's Run in February, 1865, and suffered loss at Gravelly Run March 31, when Major Tremlett, who had commanded the regiment since Nov. 5, 1864, was wounded, dying from the effects on June 6.
