notes.--Organized at
Keene, N. H., leaving the
State Dec. 25, 1861.
It sailed from
Annapolis, Jan. 7, 1862, with the
Burnside expedition, disembarking at
Hatteras Island, where it went into a camp of instruction.
After some active service with
Reno's Brigade in
North Carolina, it returned to
Virginia with the Ninth Corps, in August, 1862.
It had been assigned in the meantime to
Nagle's (1st) Brigade,
Reno's (2d) Division, in which command it fought at
Manassas, where it lost 30 killed, 117 wounded, and 70 missing, out of 450 engaged; the missing ones were killed or wounded men who fell into the enemy's hands.
In March, 1863, the Ninth Corps was transferred to the
West, where the regiment spent two pleasant months on post duty in
Kentucky.
It then went to
Mississippi where it participated in the siege operations about
Vicksburg and
Jackson; thence it returned to
Kentucky, and in the spring of 1864 rejoined the army of the Potomac in
Virginia.
While in
Kentucky--December, 1863--two hundred and eighty-eight of the men reenlisted, and were furloughed, leaving the recruits in camp.
The regiment took the field with
Grant, in May, 1864, as a part of
General S. G. Griffin's (2d) Brigade,
Potter's (2d) Division.
Lt.-Col. Henry H. Pearson was killed at the
North Anna.
In the siege of
Petersburg, the regiment occupied an exposed position in the trenches, losing men daily; its losses there, from June 20th to August 20th, 1864, amounted to 108 killed and 108 wounded; being under fire constantly, the nervous strain and fatigue was terrible.
