- 1st_United_States_Sharpshooters abstract "The 1st United States Sharpshooters were an infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War.Hiram C. Berdan of New York state created the Sharpshooters. Berdan began recruiting men for the first Sharpshooter regiment in 1861. He recruited men from New York City and Albany and from the states of New Hampshire, Vermont, Michigan and Wisconsin. The volunteer recruits had to pass a rifle test in order to qualify to be a member of the Sharpshooters; each man had to be able to place ten shots in a circle of 10 inches (250 mm) in diameter from 200 yards (180 m) away. They were able to choose a rifle and position of their preference for the test. A man eligible to be a Sharpshooter had to possess a keen eye, steady hands and a great deal of training and skill with a rifle. In addition to that, for a man to be a Sharpshooter, it took cool nerves in order to be able to estimate carefully their target, determine the high trajectory needed and to take in consideration the effect that any current wind may have.The first regiment of volunteers began service in late November 1861. During their service they fought in every Eastern battle up until autumn of 1864. During their tour, the Sharpshooters were noted for efficient service in the battles of Yorktown, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Spotsylvania and Petersburg. During battle, the mission of the Sharpshooter was to kill enemy targets and people of importance (i.e. officers and ncos) from a far distance.The first United States Sharpshooter regiment consisted of the following commanding officers (listed by company):Company A- Captain Casper Trepp, New YorkCompany B- Captain Stephen Martin, New YorkCompany C- Captain Benjamin Duesler, MichiganCompany D- Captain George S. Tuckerman, New YorkCompany E- Captain Amos B. Jones, New HampshireCompany F- Captain Edmund Weston, VermontCompany G-Captain Edward Drew, WisconsinCompany H- Captain George G. Hastings, New YorkCompany I- Captain A. M. Willet, MichiganCompany K- Captain S. J. Mather, MichiganDuring the Civil War, regiments were usually composed of companies all from the same state. On the other hand, due to the strict qualifications and special skills in order to become a member of the Sharpshooters, each regiment was assembled of companies from various different Union states.
