notes.--Although a Third Corps regiment, the Eighty-fourth saw much active service while in other commands.
Soon after its organization, in 1861, it was ordered to the
Upper Potomac, and thence to the Shenandoah Valley where it served under
General Lander, and, after his death, in
Shields's Division.
It was with
Shields at
Kernstown, and was hotly engaged there;
Colonel Murray and two line officers were killed there, the regiment losing 21 killed, and 71 wounded. At
Cedar Mountain and
Manassas it was in
Ricketts's Division, of
McDowell's Corps; at
Fredericksburg and
Chancellorsville it was in
Carroll's Brigade,
Whipple's Division, Third Corps.
At
Chancellorsville it lost 215 in killed, wounded, missing, and prisoners, out of 391 present.
The regiment was not engaged at
Gettysburg, having been detailed as a train-guard.
Upon the discontinuance of the Third Corps it was again transferred, this time to
Mott's Division, Second Corps.
Colonel Bowman having been detailed on duty elsewhere, the command of the regiment devolved on
Lieutenant-Colonel Milton Opp, an experienced and efficient officer who fell mortally wounded at the
Wilderness.
The regiment was mustered-out in November, 1864, but enough recruits and reenlisted men remained to form a battalion of four companies.
This battalion was consolidated January 13, 1865, with the Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania, and
Lieutenant-Colonel Zinn of the Eighty-fourth became colonel of the Fifty-seventh.
Its casualties at the
Wilderness and
Spotsylvania May 5-13, 1864, were 13 killed, 70 wounded, and 2 missing.
