Notes for WILLIAM RIGHTER (DR.) LONGSHORE:

Union Soldier. Enlisted 20 Oct. 1862 "age 26" in Harrisburg, Penn. as an Asst. Surgeon, 147th Penn. Volunteers, attached to the 47th Regt. Penn. Volunteers, promoted to Surgeon and Major on 7 Dec. 1863. Commanding Brigade Hospital Surgeon in occupied Atlanta, he was with Gen. Sherman's famous march to the sea. Mustered out on 15 Jul. 1865.

Excerpt from: "General and Family History of the Wyoming & Lackawanna Valleys, Pennsylvania," Vol. 1, 1906: "Dr. Wm. R. Longshore, M.D., son of Ashbel B. and Maria J. (Righter) Longshore b 09/10/1838 in Beaver Meadows, Pennsylvania. Studied medicine at Jefferson Medical College and Pennsylvania College of Medicine from which he graduated March, 1860. Worked as an assistant in the male department of Pennsylvania Hospital for Insane under Dr. Kirkbride until 1862. Was Commander's assistant surgeon with rank of 1st Lt. in 147th Reg. Pennsylvania Volunteers in September 1863 and was promoted to surgeon and rank of Major."

Dr. W. R. Longshore, a prominent Hazleton surgeon whose parents both were descendants of Revolutionary families, tended to the wounded at some of the war's bloodiest campaigns. The Beaver Meadows native enlisted as a first lieutenant and assistant surgeon in Pardee's 147th Regiment at the outbreak of fighting. He was promoted to major and surgeon in 1863 and he served at the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. Longshore was acting brigade surgeon during Sherman's march to Atlanta. When he reached Goldsborough, N.C., while accompanying Sherman through the Carolinas near the end of the war, Longshore obtained a leave in order to go home and get married. He reached Philadelphia on April 14, just a few hours before John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln in Washington. Longshore continued on to Hazleton and on April 25 married M. A. Carter, daughter of Beaver Meadows coal operator William Carter. Twelve days later he was back in the Army.
