notes.--Organized at
Camp Dick Robinson, Ky., and mustered into the
United States service on October 8, 1861.
During its first six months of active service, it was stationed at various places in
Kentucky, having been assigned to
Hascall's Brigade, of
Wood's Division.
It embarked for
Nashville on the 18th of March, 1862, marching thence with
Buell's Army to the battle-field of
Shiloh, where it arrived at the close of the fighting.
After participating in the Siege of
Corinth, it marched with
Buell through
Northern Alabama,
Tennessee and
Kentucky to
Louisville; thence on the Perryville campaign, and then to
Nashville, where it arrived in December, 1862.
At the
battle of Stone's River--still in
Wood's Division — it was actively engaged, with a loss of 14 killed, 85 wounded, and 34 missing,
Colonel McKee being among the killed.
Remaining at
Murfreesboro, Tenn., until June, 1863, it moved southward with the army, and fought at
Chickamauga, it being then in
Harker's (3d) Brigade,
Wood's (1st) Division,
Crittenden's Corps; its loss in that battle was 13 killed, 78 wounded, and 22 missing. In October, 1863, the regiment was placed in
Harker's (3d) Brigade,
Sheridan's (2d) Division, Fourth Corps, in which command it fought at
Missionary Ridge; loss, 4 killed, and 54 wounded. This division was commanded by
General Newton during the
Atlanta campaign; the brigade remained under command of
General Harker, who was killed while leading the assault on
Kenesaw.
After the fall of
Atlanta, the regiment moved to
Nashville, where it was mustered out in October, 1864, its term of service having expired.
