notes.--Recruited from the counties of

The men were mostly from the forest regions, possessing the hardy characteristics and manly traits incidental to mountaineers and lumbermen.
The regiment left its barracks in
Pittsburg in November, 1861.
After some hard service in the trenches before
Yorktown, and some skirmishing at
Williamsburg — then in
Kearny's Division,--it faced the enemy at
Fair Oaks, in one of the deadliest struggles of the war, winning praise from generals and historians alike.
Its losses at
Fair Oaks were large--41 killed, 112 wounded, and 8 missing; total, 161.
At
Gettysburg, the regiment took 247 men into action, and lost 8 killed, 115 wounded, and 9 missing; total, 132, or more than half.
In April, 1864, the division was transferred to the Second Corps, the One Hundred and Fifth being assigned to
General Alex. Hays's Brigade.
In the first battle of the ensuing campaign — the
Wilderness — it lost 38 killed, 116 wounded, and 6 missing.
Lieutenant-Colonel Greenwalt was killed at the
Wilderness,
Colonel McKnight at
Chancellorsville,
Colonel Craig at
Deep Bottom, and
Major John C. Conser at the
