notes.--Organized at
Jefferson in August, 1861, moving to Camp Chase,
Columbus, O., on December 25th; it left the
State on January 17, 1862, having been ordered to
West Virginia.
While there it served under
General Lander, and then, having been assigned to
Shields's Division, participated in the movement up the Shenandoah Valley, and in the
battle of Kernstown.
It was, also, hotly engaged at the
battle of Port Republic, June 9, 1862, where it lost 17 killed, 41 wounded, and 114 captured or missing. At
Cedar Mountain, it was in
Geary's (1st) Brigade,
Augur's (2d) Division,
Banks's Corps; loss, 6 killed, 50 wounded, and 10 missing; at
Chancellorsville — then in
Candy's (1st) Brigade,
Geary's (2d) Division, Twelfth Corps--it lost 2 killed, 42 wounded, and 28 missing; at
Gettysburg, 7 killed, and 31 wounded. In September, 1863, it accompanied the Twelfth Corps to
Tennessee, where it had been ordered to the relief of
Chattanooga.
The regiment was present at the battles of
Lookout Mountain and
Missionary Ridge; in May, 1864, it served under
Sherman in the
Atlanta campaign.
The first battle of that campaign occurred at Dug Gap, May 8, 1864, the Twenty-ninth sustaining the heaviest loss in that action; its casualties at Dug Gap were 26 killed, 67 wounded, and 1 missing. The Corps number had been changed, in April, 1864, to the Twentieth, with
General Hooker in command.
The regiment marched to the sea with the Twentieth Corps, and was engaged at the Siege of
Savannah, where
Major Myron T. Wright fell mortally wounded.
It then participated in the final campaign in the Carolinas, and was mustered out July 13, 1865.
