One of the proudest accomplishments of the staff and volunteers who are associated with 47th Pennsylvania Volunteers: One Civil War Regiment’s Story is the knowledge that our educational project celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2024.

That first decade passed quickly, as we kept our noses to the grindstone, researching, writing and posting new content about the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry and its members.

But, as so often happens with content that has been posted online for any serious length of time, some of the links that we added years ago to the first profiles we created for the regiment’s companies and our first soldiers’ biographies have broken and need to be updated. In addition, some of our older pages need to be updated to reflect the advancements in research that we’ve made since those web pages were first published.

So, we ask that you pardon our “dust” over the next several months. You’ll be seeing changes to our website’s older pages, as we take on several necessary “home improvement” projects, in between our efforts to research, write and publish brand new content.

Fear not. You will still be seeing new biographies and posts as we continue our march forward into our project’s second decade. We look forward to having you join us on our trek through time.
