teers; and Major Hartshorn, one of the gallant commanders of the Bucktail regiment, was commissioned colonel of the One hundred and nintieth regiment, which was composed of the re-enlisted Reserves. Numerous efforts had been made by Governor Curtin and by the people of the state to preserve the organization of the Reserve Corps until the end of the war; but the authorities at Washington, adopting an unbending policy that would be applicable to the regiments from all the states, but which was wholly inapplicable to the conditions of the Reserve Corps, rendered it impracticable to continue the organization of the Corps beyond the original term of enlistment. From the beginning of the war against the Southern rebels until the commencement of the seige of Petersburg no body of troops had achieved a fame so distinct and so universal, as that which attached to the name of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps. Other troops fought as well. Regiments from Pennsylvania and from other States wrought out glorious histories that will ever be remembered by a grateful posterity, but these fought, in almost every instance, as parts of brigades that were without a permanent name; the Reserves fought battles and won victories of their own; and hence secured to themselves a wider fame in the history of the Nation's struggle up from partial to universal Freedom. The several regiments will have places in the regimental catalogue of the State, but over and above these, with a more enduring lustre, will span the glorious bow of honor, overarching the banners of the Corps. The memory of the dead will be more sacred, and the names of the living more honorable, not only because the men fought in one of the fifteen regiments comprised in this organization, but because they are enrolled as Pennsylvania Reserves. 36 CHAPTER XIII.
