121st Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers

At one point there was going to be a reorganization of officers within the 121st Regiment. So the men of Company F wrote to the Governor of Pennsylvania to intercede on their behalf.They wanted their Liutenant Nathaniel Lang to be their Captain, none other. The history books show that Lt. Lang was made their Captain on 29 May 1864. The letter is dated 6 March 1864. So the Governor heard the men and acted swiftly!
All names have been checked against - History, 121st Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers by the Survivors Association.

To his Excellency

A. G. Curtin

Governor of Pennsylvania

We the non commissioned officers & privates of Co. F. 121st Regt. P.V. Having a good reason to believe that an attempt is being made to have Lt. P. R. Gray commissioned Capt. of our Co. Thereby "jumping" over 1st Liut. Nathaniel Lang. In whom we have all confidence. Do hereby earnestly protest against- having any other man for our Capt. He having served with us from the first- & believing him to be fully capable & worthy do earnestly hope that - none other may command us while he is in the Co. We are very respectfully your obt. Servants
