 It's easier to search online as you can just enter your search parameters. In this case I just did 139th Pennsylvania. Came up with 20 volume hits (some are in a part one, some a part two, etc.) and the number of hits in each volume. Then you go into each volume and see which page the hits are on then check out each page. Most of them were more order of battle and post battle casualty reports, which I left out.

As far as I'm aware, since I've never seen them there, my local library doesn't have any copies of the War of the Rebellion or it's naval companion. I did purchase both on CD-ROM though their not as good as what Cornell has online as a part of their Making of America series. Would love to have a hard copy of both, but I am extremely thankful Cornell scanned them and posted them online.
