I am interested in seeing if readers might draw conclusions similar to mine. It is an article in progress. |

Mike;
One day I will make it to Antietam. Since I'm doing research on my local regiment, the 51st Pennsylvania (out of Norristown, PA)… This past week I took Soldiers from my unit to GBurg to follow the trail of a Lehigh Valley unit, the 153rd PVI. I have to say that was an interesting bit. You are a gem when it comes to sharing these things. I wish I could have had your time teaching and researching and all. I hope you keep it up as long as you can. Eric |

The 153rd was 11th Corps wasn't it? I had a lady out on the field today who had a relative in the 153rd. If you need a guide for Antietam and South Mountain, call the bookstore and book me. I will be glad to take you out on the field. |

Yes, the 153rd, was part of Von Gilsa's Brigade and was on Blocher's Knoll (now called Barlow's) They were 1st Brigade, 1st Division in the 11th Corps. Lots of "1"'s there… :-) They were Northampton County, PA Soldiers to a man. And served a month after their term expired… 569 went into battle, 211 became casualties. Great book called "In Lieu Of A Draft" by Lochard Lovenstein talks about their actions from raising until demobilization. Think you might make it to Fall-In? Bring more books! I certainly need to buy more, since I don't think I have everything written by you or the ACW, yet… :-) Eric |
