Here is a brief look into the Pollock Guards, Co. H, 5th PA Reserves. They were raised in 1861 due to the efforts of former #Pennsylvania Gov. James Pollock, in whose honor the company was named. #civilwar #civilwarhistory #CivilWarHistorian #pennsylvaniahistory via @prvchs

@macman19330 @BaGHistorian Do you have any clue what regiment he served in? It might be in whatever documents or paperwork you have in which you said you had.

[P.R.V.C. Historical Society @prvchs]

@macman19330 @BaGHistorian Is that Lancaster County?

[P.R.V.C. Historical Society @prvchs]

@singernyga So basically the 8th Pennsylvania Reserves IS the 37th Pennsylvania Volunteers. The first “designation” was issued by the state of PA - and the second one (37th) is the designation assigned to them by the federal government. It certainly is confusing. What was his name?

[P.R.V.C. Historical Society @prvchs]

If your goal is historical authenticity when referencing any of the regiments in the Pennsylvania Reserves, then use their state alias rather then their federal alias. https://t.co/jaqEJJswz1

@macman19330 @BaGHistorian Any idea what regiment? What is his name?

[P.R.V.C. Historical Society @prvchs]
