Excerpt from The 109th Regiment, Penna; Veteran Volunteers: An Address, Delivered at the Unveiling of Their Monument on Culps Hill, Gettysburg, Pa;, September 11, 1889
General Cooper opened artillery fire upon the advancing column, and the enemy replied, maintaining for the period of one hour or more an artillery duel, the infantry remaining simply in support; this was the baptism of fire of the lo9th, the first sound of the enemy's guns, but a sound which the regiment was destined to hear without intermission until the close of the war.
On June 2, 1862, Cooper's Brigade was assigned to Sigel's Division, Department of Shenandoah. After marching through Charlestown, Winchester, Kernstown and Middletown, to Cedar Creek, it was assigned to First Brigade (gen. Cooper), Second Division (gen. Sigel), Second Corps (gen. Banks), Army of Virginia (gen. Pope).
