The 151st Pennsylvania was formed and mustered in the fall of 1862, The regiment enlisted for nine months' Federal service at Camp Curtin on the outskirts of the state capital at Harrisburg. The 151st Pennsylvania had its first experience with enemy fire at the battle of Chancellorsville via enemy artillery. The shelling caused some men of the untested 151st to break ranks and run for cover. On July 1st of 1863 the battle of Gettysburg would begin. The men of the 151st PA were due to go home in mere weeks. Despite this, they fought valiantly and sacrificed themselves to allow other union units to escape the Confederate onslought. The unit would suffer over 300 casualties during the battle of Gettysburg. Following the war the regiment became known as the “School Teachers Regiment”.
