140th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment The 140th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment was a United States Federal military Regiment that was mustered on September 13 , 1862 and was mustered out on June 3 , 1865 for service in the American Civil War . Citizens of Monroe County , New York made up the majority of its members . Companies B , C , E , F , K and part of G were men from Rochester ; the remaining four and a half companies were populated by citizens of the neighboring towns and villages . The 140th left Rochester on September 19 of 1862 and after a brief stay in the defensive fortifications around Washington , DC , saw some action at the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville . The regiment went through its first severe punishment in battle on the second day of July in 1863 at Gettysburg . No sooner had it arrived on the battlefield when the 140th was ordered into action on the slopes of Little Round Top . Summoned by Brig . Gen . Gouverneur K . Warren to reinforce Vincent ' s 16th Michigan , the 140th charged over the hill led by Col . Patrick " Paddy " O ' Rorke , pushing back the 4th and 5th Texas . Although the 140th was successful in its defense of the Hill , it cost the regiment 133 casualties : 37 dead including Colonel O ' Rorke , 78 wounded and 18 missing . In the winter camp of 1863 - 64 , the regiment was outfitted as Zouaves . These flamboyant uniforms were patterned after elite French army units which had earned military glory in the 1850s , and they even were " awarded " to the 140th in recognition of the regiment ' s seamless record . During 1864 , General Grant assumed command of all Federal forces and began a relentless push toward the Confederacy ' s capitol of Richmond . The 140th ' s participation in this campaign cost 384 of its men in 39 days , as well as the life of Colonel George Ryan . The heaviest losses were at The Wilderness and Cold Harbor . By the war ' s end , Sgt . Robert F . Shipley had won the Congressional Medal of Honor , but only 245 of its original members answered to its final muster .
Conquest of Ceuta The Conquest of Ceuta ( 22 August 1415 ) by the Portuguese had its roots in the earliest years of the House of Aviz dynasty of Portugal . Both the Battle of Ceuta and , in a larger sense , the era of European expansion were influenced by Henry the Navigator . Henry the Navigator . Born in 1394 , Henry was the third son of King John I , a monarch from the House of Aviz , and his queen Philippa . He and his brothers lived in an era where honour was as much earned as inherited ; the medieval concept of chivalry still held sway in European courts . Given this worldview , it is not surprising that John I led his sons and their assembled forces in an attack on the Moroccan stronghold of Ceuta in 1415 . This " baptism of blood " was a traditional manner by which nobles proved their valor . In addition , the expedition fed the crusading spirit of the warriors , as there was no greater glory for Iberian Christians of the Reconquista than that attained through the defeat of Moorish forces . The Portuguese conquest of Ceuta served larger purposes than simply winning knight ly spurs for the sons of John I ; their victory over the forces of Islam rekindled dreams of a unified Christendom that could subdue Islam in a multi - pronged conflict . The prospect of a triumphant military and religious unification with distant Christian empires thus increased in its attraction to European leaders . The battle . The battle itself was almost anti - climactic , because the 45 , 000 men who traveled on 200 Portuguese ships caught the defenders of Ceuta off guard . An attack that commenced on the morning of August 14 , 1415 ended with the capture of the town by nightfall . Henry distinguished himself in the battle , being wounded during the conquest of the city that was known as the “ Key to the Mediterranean . ” Thus , one of the major northern trade centers of the Islamic world was now in the possession of Portugal . This African conquest was the first significant ripple of a wave of European expansion that would reach every continent on the globe . Aftermath . In contrast to the victor ' s aspirations , the colony at Ceuta rapidly became a drain on the Portuguese treasury . They soon realised that without the city of Tangier , possession of Ceuta was worthless . After Ceuta was captured by the Portuguese , the camel caravans that formed the overland trade routes began to use Tangier as their new destination . This deprived Ceuta of the materials and goods that made it an attractive market and a vibrant trading locale , and it became an isolated community . Novel . Arkan Simaan " L ' Écuyer d ' Henri le Navigateur " , Éditions l ' Harmattan , Paris . 2007 . Historical novel based on medieval Zurara ’ s chronicles . It tells us the conquest of Ceuta in 1415 by king John I and his sons and its occupation . Written in French . ISBN 978 - 2 - 296 - 03687 - 1 .
