notes.--Organized at Pittsburg, June 28, 1861, eight of the companies coming from Allegheny County, one from Crawford, and one from Beaver. The regiment arrived at Washington, July 26, 1861 , where it joined McCall's Division of Pennsylvania Reserves, then encamped at Tenallytown, Md. It remained there until October, at which time the Reserves marched into Virginia. The regiment was assigned to the Third Brigade, General E. O. Ord; this brigade fought the battle of Dranesville, December 20, 1861, one of the first of the Union victories. The division marched with McDowell in his advance on Manassas, in the spring of 1862, and then was transferred to the Army of the Potomac, where it was actively engaged in the Seven Days Battle. At Glendale it made a desperate fight over Cooper's Battery, in which affair it captured the colors of the Tenth Alabama. Rejoining McDowell's Corps it fought at Manassas, where it lost 12 killed, 52 wounded, and 35 missing. Closely following, came South Mountain and Antietam, the casualties in the latter amounting to 17 killed, and 66 wounded. General C. F. Jackson, the brigade commander and former Colonel of the Ninth, fell mortally wounded at Fredericksburg. In the spring of 1864, the regiment crossed the Rapidan with Grant, but on May 4th, while in line of battle at the Wilderness ready to go into action, its term of service expired, and the men were ordered to return to Washington for muster-out.
