notes.--The Twenty-sixth was one of the first regiments that marched to the defence of the
National Capital.
In company with the Sixth Massachusetts, it was attacked by a mob while passing through
Baltimore, on April 19, 1861, in which affair the regiment lost one man killed and several wounded.
The regiment was not mustered — in until May 5th, when it was sworn in for three years; the enrollment, however, included very few of the original command who were at
Baltimore, as they had tendered their services for a short term only.
The Twenty-sixth encamped at
Washington in May, 1861, and in October, having been assigned to
Grover's Brigade,
Hooker's Division, moved to Budd's Ferry, Md., where it was stationed until the spring campaign of 1862.
At
Chancellorsville — in
Berry's Division — it made a good fight,
Colonel Tilghman being severely wounded, while the regiment lost 11 killed, 71 wounded, and 9 missing. Its hardest fighting occurred at
Gettysburg, where, out of 382 engaged, it lost 30 killed, 176 wounded, and 7 missing; total, 213; two officers and three color bearers were killed there.
In 1864 the regiment served in
McAllister's Brigade,
Mott's Division, Second Corps.
It took part in
Hancock's grand charge at
Spotsylvania, and in the subsequent movements to the
Pamunkey; at the latter place it embarked for
Washington, June 3, 1864, en route for home.
It was mustered-out at
Philadelphia, June 18, 1864, the recruits and reenlisted men remaining in the field having been transferred to the Ninety-ninth Pennsylvania.
