notes.--Organized at
Lynnfield, Mass., and arrived at
Washington August 30, 1861.
It was stationed in
Maryland, along the
Upper Potomac, until March, 1862, when it was assigned to
Dana's (3d) Brigade,
Sedgwick's (2d) Division, Second Corps, with which command it then moved to the
Peninsula.
It was hotly engaged at
Glendale, its losses there and at
Malvern Hill, amounting to 19 killed, 84 wounded, and 42 missing. At
Glendale,
Colonel Hinks was wounded, and
Major Henry J. Howe was killed.
The regiment was engaged at
Antietam, in
Sedgwick's contest in the woods around the Dunker Church, losing there 8 killed, 0108 wounded, and 30 missing;
Colonel Hinks was again severely wounded.
The loss at
Fredericksburg was 14 killed, 83 wounded, and 8 missing. In this engagement, the Nineteenth--under
Captain Weymouth--crossed the river in boats, together with the Seventh Michigan, acting as a forlorn hope.
The boats crossed in the face of the enemy's fire from the opposite bank, which had hitherto prevented the laying of the pontoons.
The Nineteenth, under
Colonel Devereux, distinguished itself at
Gettysburg, winning especial mention in the histories of that battle; its casualties there were 9 killed, 61 wounded, andl 7 missing, out of 141 engaged.
During the
Wilderness campaign it was in
Webb's (1st) Brigade,
Gibbon's (2d) Division, and fought in all the subsequent battles of the Second Corps.
