Stroud, Inscribed Union Swords 1861-1865, Texas 1983, pp. 61-62, the abridged biographical information set out below. Sold together with two biographical files concerning the life and career of Colonel Anthony Conk, including official records of the Federal and Confederate armies reports. Anthony Conk was commissioned Colonel of the 139th New York Volunteers on 9th September 1862, the regiment having been formed and mustered into federal service the same month. Shortly after the New York Times ran an article in the Brooklyn News concerning the departure of '….This Regiment designated as the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth, finally left Camp Arthur, near the Navy Yard last evening, and after marching up Nassau to Bridge-street, up Myrtle-avenue to Pearl-street, and down Pearl, they were conveyed to an ocean steamer...….During the day the City Park….. [where]…… the regiment had encamped presented a busy and exciting scene. Thousands thronged the inclosure, many the wives and relatives of the soldiers, who came to bid them good-bye. The men were provided with overcoats, knapsacks, canteens and three day's rations. Meanwhile the officer's assembled at the head-quarters, corner of Nassau-street and Hudson-avenue, and presented Col. Conk with an elegant sword, sash, belt and haversack. A brief address was made by Dr. Thomas P. Norris, and an appropriate patriotic response on behalf of the recipient by S. D. Morris Esq.' Whether the present sword is that mentioned in the article or not is doubtful given that the article cited does not mention Major General Duryea. Other officer's are recorded being presented with more than one sword during the civil war. The 39th New York left for Fortress Monroe, Virginia, and was attached to Camp Hamilton until April 1863. They fought at Whittaker's Mills, Williamsburg, and Fort Magruder in April 1863. After the actions the regiment moved to York down where they served until April 1864. Colonel Conk was honourably discharged for reasons of health on 28 July 1863.
