notes.--Recruited under the call of February 1st, 1864, for 500,000 more men. It was organized at
Madison leaving
Wisconsin on May 10th;
Colonel Haskell was transferred from the Sixth Wisconsin, in which he was serving as an Adjutant.
Immediately after arriving in
Virginia the regiment joined the Army of the Potomac, then at
Spotsylvania, having been assigned to the First Brigade (
Webb's), Second Division (
Gibbon's), Second Corps.
The regiment was under fire, for the first time, at
Spotsylvania, May 19, 1864 (Fredericksburg Pike), where it was held in reserve; it was engaged a few days later at the
North Anna, and also at
Totopotomoy Creek; on June 1st, at Bethesda Church, four companies,--B, E, F, and G,--while on the skirmish line, made a dashing charge but with a heavy loss; of 240 men engaged in this charge, 128 were killed, wounded or missing.
Two days later the regiment was engaged in the storming of Cold Harbor, a desperate fight, in which it sustained a loss of 17 killed, 53 wounded, and 5 missing. The brigade commander,
Colonel H. B. McKeen.
of the Eighty-first Pennsylvania, was killed in that assault, whereupon the command devolved upon
Colonel Haskell, who fell dead a few minutes later.
Colonel Savage succeeded to the command of the regiment, but fell mortally wounded in the assault on
Petersburg, June 18, 1864.
In that engagement the regiment lost 16 killed, and 107 wounded. It became so reduced by death, wounds, and disease, that it carried only 11 officers and 175 men into the fight at Ream's Station; it lost in that action 134 men taken prisoners.
