Camp Curtain Near Harrisburg Pennsylvania A Rendezvous of the Pennsylvania Volunteers
sketch by Jasper Green Esq
http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/civil-war/1861/may/harrisburg-pennsylvania.htm

CAMP CURTIN, HARRISBURG. PA.
WE publish herewith, from a drawing made on the spot, an illustration of Camp Curtin, a rendezvous of the Pennsylvania Volunteers. At this place Governor Curtin is understood to have collected some eight or ten thousand volunteers, and more are flocking in daily—horse, foot, and artillery. A large number of experienced drill-sergeants are busy from daylight till dark drilling the men, who go through the unaccustomed labor with cheerfulness, and only ask to be led forward. A gentleman who has just returned from Harrisburg writes as follows respecting the other camps of the Pennsylvania troop.

" This State has in the neighborhood of seventeen thousand already in the field, and thousands more begging for the opportunity of marching. They have full six thousand stationed at Camp Scott, near York, under the command of Generals Wynkoop and Negley. There are twenty-six hundred at Camp Slifer, near Chambersburg, under the command of General E. A. Williams, one of the officers of the Pennsylvania volunteers in the Mexican War, who has Colonel J. J. Patterson for his aid. Scattered along between Elkton, Perryville and Philadelphia are six thousand more, and there are one or two regiments from Ohio near Lancaster, with some twelve hundred United States troops at Carlisle Barracks."

Regimental History

Pennsylvania    51st INFANTRY        (3 Years)

Fifty-first Infantry.-Cols., John F.  Hartranft, Edwin Schall, William J.  Bolton; Lieut.-Cols., Thomas S.  Bell, Edwin Schall, William Allebaugh; Majs., Edwin Schall, William J.  Bolton, Lane S.  Hart, Joseph K.  Bolton.

 (Pictures, unless otherwise noted, have been added from http://www.civil-war.net/searchphotos.asp and are not necesarrily of the 51st regiment, just of the battles on the day they were in these locations Picture to the left is from http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/pahist/industry.asp?secid=31)

This regiment was recruited during the summer and fall of I86I by Col.  Hartranft for three years' service, most of the officers and men having served for the three months' term.  Cos.  A, C, D, F and I were recruited in Montgomery county; E, H and K in Union and Snyder; G in Center and B in Northampton.  The place of rendezvous was Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, and the regimental organization was completed on Nov.  I6 I86I.  Two days later it left for Annapolis, Md., where it remained, perfecting itself in drill and discipline, until Jan.  6, 1862, when it was assigned to the 2nd brigade (Gen.  Reno), Burnside's corps, embarked as a part of Burnside's expedition to North Carolina, and landed at Roanoke island on Feb.  7.

  It shared in the capture of the enemy's works here on the 8th and was active at the battle of New Berne, N.  C., in March, where it executed a gallant charge.  It was again active in the battle of Camden, losing 3 killed and 21 wounded. 

The Second Bull Run, August 1862

   The command suffered severely in the fierce fighting at Fredericksburg in December, its losses being I2 killed and 74 wounded.  It was ordered to Fortress Monroe in March, 1863, brigaded with the 51st N.  Y., 2Ist Mass., and IIth N.  H., and moved thence, with two divisions of the 9th corps, to Kentucky, being posted successively at Winchester, Lancaster, Crab Orchard and Stanford.

  In June it moved with its corps under command of Gen.  Parke to the support of Grant at Vicksburg, arriving on the I4th and going into camp at Mill Dale.  It was employed here and at Oak ridge for several weeks in building fortifications, and joined Sherman in his campaign to Jackson (my note - is this a mistake?  Was Sherman not in Jackson in May? http://www.raymondms.com/battle2.htm) in July.  The command then returned to Kentucky, encamping at Camp Nelson, where it rested and refitted after its arduous service in Mississippi.


"The U.S. Sanitary Commission established a Soldier's Home near the hospital "for the accommodation of soldiers temporarily sojourning the Camp enroute to join their Regiments at the front." http://www.campnelson.org/home.htm

  The regiment moved from Camp Nelson to Crab Orchard, where a number of recruits were received, and thence to Knoxville, Tenn.  It was active at the battle of Campbell's station, and suffered all the hardships endured by Burnside's army, when besieged in Knoxville by the enemy under Longstreet.  After the siege was raised it joined in the pursuit of the enemy, skirmishing with his rear-guard at Rutledge, and later went into winter quarters at Blaine's cross-roads, where the men suffered much from the meager supplies of food and clothing received.


"Environs of Knoxville seen from South Bank of Tennessee River, East Tennessee University in Middle Distance - Knoxville, TN "

  On Jan.  5, 1864, the regiment reenlisted for a term of three years and returned to Pennsylvania on 30 days, veteran furlough.  While at home the command was rapidly recruited to the maximum strength, as it was a very popular organization, and on the expiration of its furlough it proceeded to Annapolis, where it was assigned to the Ist brigade, Ist division, 9th corps, Col.  Hartranft commanding the brigade and Lieut.-Col.  Schall the regiment.

"General John F. Hartranft and Staff (responsible for securing the conspirators at the Arsenal) - Washington, D.C. Washington"

   The 5Ist participated in all the sanguinary engagements leading up to the siege of Petersburg, losing heavily.  Dating from the battle at the Ny river, May I2, Col.  Hartranft was promoted to brigadier-general, Lieut.-Col.  Schall became colonel, Maj.  Bolton lieutenant-colonel, and Capt.  Hart major.

   In the fierce fighting at Cold Harbor Col.  Schall was killed while leading a charge and was succeeded in command by Lieut.-Col.  Bolton.  The command arrived in front of Petersburg on the I7th and at once engaged the enemy.  It was in action again the next day, capturing and holding a position close to the enemy's works.  This position was so exposed that a constant fire was kept up, night and day, for more than two weeks, one-third of the men being constantly employed to hold the position.  It formed part of the assaulting column at the explosion of the mine, but was ordered back before it entered the crater.  In this advance, Col.  Bolton was severely wounded and Maj.  Hart succeeded to the command.


Row of Stacked Federal Rifles - Petersburg, VA, April 1865

 The regiment remained on duty in front of the crater for a few days, when it was relieved, and remained encamped in the rear until Aug.  I9.  It shared in the movement for the capture of the Weldon railroad, and participated in all the subsequent operations of the brigade, including the engagements at Poplar Spring Church, Ream's station, Hatcher's run, and the final assault on Petersburg, April 2, 1865.  It was mustered out at Alexandria, Va., July 27, 1865, after four years of most trying service.
