notes.--Organized at Philadelphia in June, 1861. Leaving there on July 27th, it proceeded to Harper's Ferry, where it was attached to General Banks's command. It remained for a year in the vicinity of the Upper Potomac and Shenandoah Valley, during which time it was constantly engaged on important outpost duty, varied by occasional reconnoissances or sharp skirmishes. In 1862, it was assigned to the First Brigade of Greene's (2d) Division, and fought in that command at Antietam, where, under Major Pardee, it charged the enemy's position at the Dunker Church, and checked the Confederate advance. Its loss at Antietam was 44 killed, 217 wounded, and 5 missing; total, 266; Lieutenant-Colonel Tyndale, who commanded the brigade in that battle, was severely wounded. In October, 1862, companies L, M, N, O, and P, were transferred to the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania, and Major Pardee was promoted to the Colonelcy of that regiment. At Chancellorsville, the Twenty-eighth was commanded by Major L. F. Chapman, an intrepid and skilful officer, who lost his life there. The regimental loss at Chancellorsville was 17 killed, 60 wounded, and 24 missing; total, 101. The Twenty-eighth was afterwards transferred to the Western Army, in which it fought at Lookout Mountain, and in the long and bloody Atlanta camapaign.
