notes.--Organized at
Harrisburg, Pa., having been recruited mostly in the western part of the
State.
It arrived at
Washington in December, 1861, where it remained a couple of months, and then marched into
Virginia, encamping near
Alexandria.
With the Army of the Potomac, it took the field early in 1862, under
General McClellan, and was actively engaged in the siege operations at
Yorktown.
It was then in
Jameson's Brigade,
Kearny's Division, Third Corps.
At
Fair Oaks it lost 11 killed, 48 wounded, and 1 missing,
Major Culp being among the killed.
At
Fredericksburg, out of 316 present, there was a loss of 18 killed, 80 wounded, and 52 missing, many of the latter being killed or wounded.
In that battle the brigade was commanded by
General J. H. Ward.
At
Chancellorsville the loss was 10 killed, 43 wounded, and 18 missing; at
Gettysburg, 11 killed, 46 wounded, and 58 missing; at the
Wilderness, 22 killed, 128 wounded, and 3 missing. These were the casualties as officially reported.
Upon the discontinuance of the Third Corps the regiment became a part of
Alex. Hays's Brigade,
Birney's (3d) Division, Second Corps.
The hard fighting at the
Wilderness and
Spotsylvania reduced the ranks so that it was consolidated into a battalion of six companies.
In January, 1865, it received an accession of four companies from the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania, which had also been consolidated previous to the transfer.
Lieutenant-Colonel Zinn of the Eighty-fourth was made
Colonel of the Fifty-seventh.
The regiment was mustered out June 29, 1865.
