PENNSYLVANIA RETROSPECTIVE CD-ROM SERIES: CIVIL WAR - THE PENNSYLVANIA RESERVE CORPS. 2004 by Retrospect Publishing. The Pennsylvania Reserve Corps consisted of thirteen infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment and one artillery regiment. The Reserve Corps was the first organized body of three year troops furnished to the Federal government by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. They 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. Sypher's History provides a complete record of the thirteen infantry regiments of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, containing the names of all the officers and privates, their services, promotions and destinies from the date of their enlistment into the Commonwealth's service to the day of their muster out of the service of the United States. Accounts of the marches they endured, the camps they occupied, and the many battles in which they fought are also included in this history.
