It left the
State immediately, and moved into
Kentucky, where it was assigned soon after to the Thirty-fourth Brigade, Tenth Division,
McCook's Corps, Army of the Ohio, in which command it fought at Chaplin Hills, October 8, 1862.
Colonel Webster, who was in command of the brigade, was killed in this battle.
General Terrill, who commanded the other brigade in this division, and
General Jackson, the dlivision commander, were also killed, while the regiment lost in this, its baptism of fire, 35 killed, 162 wounded, and 32 missing; a total of 229, out of 822 present for duty that day. The Ninety-eighth moved into
Tennessee and was stationed successively at
Franklin,
Shelbyville, and
Wartrace during the
spring and
summer of 1863, after which it joined in
Rosecrans's advance to
Chickamauga, having been assigned to
Steedman's Division of
Gordon Granger's Reserve Corps.
Its casualty list at
Chickamauga showed 9 killed, 41 wounded, and 13 missing, out of 201 present for action.
Upon the reorganization of the Army of the Cumberland, in October, 1863, the regiment was placed in the Second Brigade, Second Division, Fourteenth Corps, in which it served until mustered out. This brigade fought under
General John Beatty at
Missionary Ridge, but in its subsequent campaigns it was commanded by
General John G. Mitchell.
The Ninety-eighth was not actively engaged at
Missionary Ridge, but in the pursuit on the following day it fought in an affair at
Graysville, Ga. The regiment encamped during the winter of 1863-64 at
Rossville, Ga., and in May moved with
Sherman's Army in its victorious advance on
Atlanta, participating in all the battles of the Fourteenth Corps during that memorable campaign.
Major James M. Shane was killed in the assault on
Kenesaw Mountain.
