Research Notes:
"Five other companies from Union County responded to the appeal for fresh recruits after the First Battle of Bull Run. More than 500 hundred men were organized into Companies E, H, and K, of the 51st Regiment, Company D of the 52nd, and Company E of the 53rd. Many of those who formed the 51st had been part of Company G, the first unit to leave for the war. Based on that service, some received a promotion in rank. Company E, the Shriner Guards, was under the direction of Captains G. H. Hassenplug and William R. Foster, and First Lieutenants Francis R. Frey and John A. Morris (attended University of Lewisburg, Class of 1860).
Company H, the Linn Rifles, was commanded by Captain J. Merrill Linn, and First Lieutenant George Shorkley. The officers of Company K, the Walls Guards, were Captain George P. Carman, and First Lieutenants Josiah Kelley and John B. Linn. Commanded by Colonel John F. Hartranft, the 51st saw more action than any other local regiment, traveling a total of 10,438 miles to fight in 20 battles.
