The Pennsylvania Reserve Corps consisted of thirteen Pennsylvania Civil War infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, and one artillery regiment. The Reserve Corps was the first organized body of three year Pennsylvania Civil War troops furnished to the Federal government by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Reserve Corps rendered distinguished service at the Second Battle of Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg. Wherever the Army of the Potomac marched and fought the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps was present. The History of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps: A Complete Record of the Organization by Josiah R. Sypher provides a comprehensive history of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps. This history contains the names of all the Civil War officers and privates, their service and promotions, along with accounts of the marches they endured, the camps they occupied, and the many battles in which they fought. The three additional books on this CD provide additional material rarely available on the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps. The Round-Up provides an accounting of the 1903 reunion of the Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps and lists all the soldiers in attendance. Any family or Pennsylvania Civil War historian with ties to the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps will find this collection an invaluable resource. (832 pp)
