Regiments 101 - 150

1985.270 State Color Horstmann Brothers and Company v2p446
149th Infantry, State Color/Regimental Color. Composed of men from nine PA counties, the 149th was one of two "Bucktail" units recruited in August 1862, by Roy Stone, Colonel, who was originally major of the old Bucktails (42nd Infantry). On October 21, 1862 the regiment received the state colors. The regimental and state colors were captured at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863. The post-battle history of the color is unclear. The regiment was mustered out of service on June 24, 1865.

1985.271 National Color Unknown v2p448
149th Infantry, National Color. Composed of men from nine PA counties, the 149th was one of two "Buck tail" units recruited in August 1862, by Roy Stone, Colonel, who was originally major of the old Bucktails (42nd Infantry). This flag resembled a state-issued flag, however, only one state color was issued to the 149th, the one that was captured at Gettysburg, so this flag was probably independently purchased within the regiment. Corporal Spayd was the bearer for this flag from 1864 throughout the regime
