The 83rd
Pennsylvania
Volunteers in the
Civil War

The 83d Pennsylvania Volunteers were a brave group of patriots hailing from the northwest corner of Pennsylvania. As the war progressed, they would lose more men to death than all but one other Federal regiment.
They, along with the rest of the Fifth Corps, were bled down from their original numbers in the brutal fighting of the Seven Days in 1862. By the time the Army of the Potomac reached Gettysburg in July of 1863, the 83d numbered under 250 men and was commanded by a captain.
They helped to open the battle of the Wilderness, and were present in Appomattox to witness the surrender of Gordon's men in April, 1865. Finally in July of 1865, the men of the 83d were mustered out of Federal service in Washington, DC.
