Thanks to Glen Dixon for contributing exerpts from the rare book about Pennsylvania men serving in the WV Cavalry. Thank you to Sally L. Goehring for sharing the roster from her great-grandfather's soldier memorial which proudly hangs on her living room wall.

Thanks also go to Mary Stevanus for the history of the 1st Pa Reserves, Patrick A. Tarasovitch, Joe Buffington, James Stump, Fred Hopkins and Kevsmom.

And to the Pennsylvania Elks Association for the Medal of Honor Recipients.

Thanks also to Sonny Hand, author of One Good Regiment.

And a big thank you to Vee Housman who transcribed a 25" by 20" Soldier Memorial so all could benefit before it was sold at a bazaar sale. 		Ken Thomas (Great-great grandson of Noah Adams), has donated the original history written by Noah Adams, private, Co G of the PA 52nd Regiment.
