notes.--Organized April 25, 1861, and mustered into the
United States service on May 25th.
It was assigned to
Berry's (3d) Brigade,
Kearny's (3d) Division, Third Corps; and at
Williamsburg, according to
General Kearny, it maintained the key-point of the position; loss, 17 killed, 38 wounded, and 5 missing.
Colonel Poe, in his official report of that battle, mentions the fact that one of his men “was found dead beside a dead foe, each transfixed with the other's bayonet.”
In November, 1862, the regiment was transferred to
Poe's (1st) Brigade,
Burns's (1st) Division, Ninth Corps.
In February, 1863, the Ninth Corps moved to Newport News, Va., and thence, in March, to
Kentucky; it remained there until June, when it joined
Grant's Army at
Vicksburg.
The regiment distinguished itself in a gallant affair on the skirmish line at
Jackson, Miss., July 11, 1863, in which it lost 9 killed, 40 wounded, and 10 missing; it was then in
Leasure's (3d) Brigade,
Welsh's (1st) Division.
During the Siege of
Knoxville, on November 24, 1863, the regiment, with a gallantry unsurpassed, made a sortie with 150 men in which
Major Byington,
Adjutant Noble, two line officers and the color-bearer were killed; 84 were killed or wounded, six sergeants losing a leg each.
In the assault on
Petersburg, June 17-18th, it lost 21 killed, 170 wounded, and 13 missing; total, 204.
