notes.--Organized at
Augusta, Me., August 21, 1861, from companies recruited in various parts of the
State.
It proceeded immediately to
Baltimore, and thence, after a two weeks stay, to
Washington.
It encamped there two weeks, and then, on Nov. 7, 1861, marched to Lewinsville, Va., where it performed outpost duty until the spring of 1862.
It joined in the advance on
Manassas, and then embarked for the
Peninsula.
It was then in
Davidson's (3d) Brigade,
Wm F. Smith's Division, Fourth Corps; this division was transferred in May to the newly-formed Sixth Corps.
The loss by disease and sickness was so great that the regiment took only 181 men into action at
Antietam; it was commanded in that battle by
Major Hyde, and lost there 12 killed, 63 wounded, and 20 missing,--over half of those engaged.
Becoming much reduced in numbers, it was ordered home to
Maine, in October, 1862, to recruit.
Five companies — B, C, D, I and K — under command of
Lt.-Col. Selden Conner, rejoined the corps in January, 1863, and were engaged at
Fredericksburg, May 3, 1863 with a loss of 12 killed, 49 wounded, and 31 missing. In May, 1864, the regiment — then in
Getty's Division — entered the
Wilderness campaign, where it took part in the bloody contest which was waged by the Sixth Corps.
From May 5th to May 18th, it lost 310 in killed and wounded.
Its last battle occurred at
Fort Stevens, within the city limits of
Washington, where it assisted in repulsing
Early's attack.
Major Jones was killed in this action.
Its term of service expired August 21, 1864, while in the
Shenandoah, and the recruits were transferred to the First Maine Veteran Infantry.
