Chickamauga, where it lost 28 killed, 84 wounded, and 131 captured or missing,--
Lieutenant-Colonel D. M. Stoughton, the regimental commandant, being among the killed.

The regiment reenlisted, was furloughed, and on its return marched with the Army on the
Atlanta Campaign, it being then in
Neibling's (3d) Brigade,
Johnson's (1st) Division, Fourteenth Corps.
Its hardest fight, during that campaign, occurred July 9th, at Vining's Station, where the regiment, under command of
Major McMahon, was ordered to drive in the enemy from his outer line.
