26th Pennsylvania Infantry – Emergency of 1863 – Pennsylvania Memorial at Gettysburg
Posted By Norman Gasbarro on February 26, 2011
(Part 6 of an ongoing series on the Battle of Gettysburg). Around the base of the Pennsylvania Memorial at Gettysburg are a series of plaques which, by regiment and company, note the names of every soldier who was present at the Battle of Gettysburg. This post will present the two plaques recognizing the men who served in the 26th Pennsylvania Infantry, Emergency Forces of 1863. By clicking on the plaque it should enlarge so the names can be more clearly read. Following the plaques is a list of the men who have thus far been identified as eligible for inclusion in this Civil War Research Project who, it is believed, served for a time in the 26th Pennsylvania Infantry. Not all the names may appear on the Pennsylvania Memorial plaques. If a name does not appear, it could be that the soldier did serve in the 26th Pennsylvania Infantry, but was not part of the regiment during its days at Gettysburg – or it could mean that the soldier was erroneous included in the 26th Pennsylvania Infantry list. There could also be errors on the plaques. Readers are invited to submit comments about any names appearing below, or on the plaques, especially if they believe the soldier was from the Lykens Valley area and should be included in this study.
