notes.--Arriving at
Washington June 23, 1861, it encamped there a few weeks, and then marched away to
First Bull Run, with
Burnside's Brigade of
Hunter's Division.
It passed the succeeding
fall and
winter in
Maryland, on the lower Potomac.
In the spring of 1862 it took the field, then in
Grover's (1st) Brigade,
Hooker's (2d) Division, Third Corps.
Hooker withstood the brunt of the attack at the
battle of Williamsburg, in which the Second lost 16 killed, 68 wounded, and 19 missing. Upon its return from the
Peninsula,
Grover's Brigade was hotly engaged at
Manassas, where the regiment, fighting on that familiar field, lost 16 killed, 87 wounded, and 30 missing, out of 332 present in action.
The Second was ordered home on February 26, 1863, and was absent a couple of months, rejoining the Army in June, while on its way to
Gettysburg, at which time it was assigned to the
Jersey Brigade of
Humphreys's (2d) Division.
It fought in the
Peach Orchard, at
Gettysburg.
and while there, just before the opening of the fight on the second day, the roll was called.
Only eight men were absent from their places, while 24 officers and 330 men answered to their names.
Of that number, the regiment lost 20 killed, 137 wounded, and 36 missing; of the 24 officers, 7 were killed and 14 wounded. One wounded captain, shot in the forehead, wandered into the enemy's lines, where he died and was buried by some brother masons.
In August, the regiment was assigned to guard duty at
Point Lookout, Md., where it remained until May, 1864, when it took the field as a part of
Weitzel's (2d) Division, Eighteenth Corps.
