Description
The 132nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment was formed at Harrisburg, PA in August 1862. Their first significant engagement of the American Civil War was at the Battle of Antietam led by Colonel Richard A Oakford until he was killed at the Sunken Road (Bloody Lane). The following is quoted from the unit monument at that battlefield:
Kimball’s Brigade, following Weber and Morris, encountered the enemy in the Bloody Lane and in the cornfield to the south.
The contest there was of the most desperate character, and continued until afternoon when, supported on the left by Richardson’s Division, the Brigade attacked the enemy and gained the Bloody Lane.
An attack on the right flank was made and repulsed by a change of front of the Ohio and Indiana Regiments, forming the right wing of the Brigade in its final assault on the enemy’s position.
