notes.--Recruited under the second call for troops, leaving
New Hampshire on September 11 1862.
After two weeks drill on
Arlington Heights, Va., it joined
General McClellan's Army (Oct. 4th) then at
Harper's Ferry, and was brigaded with
General Ferrero's command,
Sturgis's (2d) Division, Ninth Corps.
The Eleventh saw its first
battle at Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, where it behaved with extraordinary gallantry, its conduct receiving universal commendation.
Its losses on that day were 19 killed, 151 wounded, and 25 missing; total, 195.
The Ninth Corps passed the greater part of 1863 in
Kentucky,
Tennessee, and
Mississippi.
Before going to the
West, there was a month's preparatory stay at Newport News, Va., which with the time spent in
Kentucky was the pleasantest period in the existence of the regiment.
It was a time of blue skies, green fields, comfortable quarters, good food, and pleasant journeys by land and water.
The Eleventh participated, without loss, in the investment of
Vicksburg, but in the following siege operations at
Jackson, Miss., it lost 1 killed, and 12 wounded. It was also engaged in the Siege of
Knoxville, Tenn., in November, 1863, a campaign notable for its hardships and privations.
Leaving
Tennessee in April, 1864, the regiment rejoined the Army of the Potomac (
Griffin's Brigade,
Potter's Division).
Lieutenant Colonel Moses N. Collins was killed at the
Wilderness; the regiment was engaged at the
Petersburg Mine with a loss of 9 killed, 32 wounded, and 22 missing; and in all the subsequent battles of the corps, adding to its reputation for hard fighting and heavy losses.
