The 38th, or the 9th reserve, was composed of eight companies from Allegheny county, one from Crawford and one from Beaver. It was organized at Camp Wright, near Pittsburg, and left there on July 22 for Washington, where it was mustered into the U. S. service for a three years' term on the 28th. On Aug. 5, it was sent to Tennallytown ; was assigned to picket duty at Great Falls for a week in September; went into winter quarters at Langley, and was attached to the 3d brigade of the reserve corps under Col. John S. McCalmont. This brigade, under Gen. Ord, won its first battle at Dranesville, where Ord recommended 71 officers and men of the 38th "For reward for their gallant conduct." On Mar. 15, 1862, the regiment left Langley, joined the army on the Peninsula, took part in the battles of Mechanicsville, Gaines' mill and Glendale, losing heavily. After a most fatiguing march the division joined Gen. Pope's army and participated in the second battle of Bull Run. It was then with Gen. McClellan at Antietam, where Samuel Johnson of Co. G captured the flag of the Texan Rangers, for which he was awarded a medal of honor. At Fredericksburg, Gen. Jackson, the first colonel of the regiment, commanding the brigade, was mortally wounded. Soon after this battle the reserves were ordered to Washington to rest and recruit and in June, 1863, the 1st and 3d brigades were assigned to the 5th corps. Gen. Sykes took command and the division fought vahantly at Gettysburg, many of the men near their own homes. The regiment joined in the pursuit of the enemy and the movements of the Army of the Potomac during the summer and the Mine Run campaign. At the beginning of the battle of the Wilderness, May 4, 1864, it was relieved and returned to Washington. It left at once for home and was mustered out at Pittsburg, May 13, 1864, when the veterans and recruits were transferred to the 190th Pa. infantry.

Our company is striving to pay homage to the brave soldiers of not just the 38th Pennsylvania but the rest of the Federal soldiers who fought valiantly for what their country and their brethren to their left and right.

We will uphold the standards of a Federal soldier while in gameplay, be it drill or a battle. We will also do this on the forums. While we will have rules we also understand that this is supposed to be a fun experience and will make every effort to live up to that expectation. We will be drilling in the US Camp (east) server Saturdays at 8:30pm EST

We are all Pennsylvania Reservist!!! I look forward to fighting next to you all.

"From the beginning of the war until its close no body of troops achieved a fame so distinct and universal as that of the Pennsylvania Reserves. Other troops fought equally well, and wrought out glorious histories that will ever be remembered by a grateful posterity, but the Reserves fought battles and won victories of their own, and thus secured to themselves a wider fame in the history of the nation's struggle." Their patriotic dead sleep upon many a well-fought field." - LT Ell Torrance

Hey gents... good to see another PA unit come about... I was reading in here and saw that the 69th is done? I know the one guy changed to a NY regiment, I asked because I’m currently in the other 69th Pa (Baker Zuaves). But there hasn’t been any activity there since they are waiting for more members of their Mount and blade group to get access.. I’m going to be looking to maybe switch to another PA regiment. I’m looking to be a part of a line infantry regiment preferably.. also I’m available for the Monday night events. Saturday’s are usually busy for me with family so best bet is a Monday. Take care. Do I have permission to join the discord and what not?
