notes.--Organized at Mansfield, in October, 1861, the recruits coming from the State at large. It left the State, December 18, proceeding to Kentucky, where it was assigned to Harker's Brigade of Wood's Division. In March, 1862, Wood's Division accompanied Buell's Army in its march to Shiloh, but arrived on the field too late to take an active part in the battle, the regiment losing only two men wounded. The Sixty-fifth was under fire at the Siege of Corinth, after which it marched with Buell on the long and arduous campaigns of the summer of 1862. At the battle of Stone's River, it fought in Harker's (3d) Brigade, Wood's (1st) Division, Crittenden's Corps (Left Wing), its casualties in that action aggregating 35 killed, 100 wounded, and 38 missing, out of 382 engaged. After a five months rest at Murfreesboro the Army moved, June 7, 1863, on its advance on Chattanooga. At Chickamauga the regiment lost 14 killed, 71 wounded, and 18 missing, Major Samuel C. Brown being among the killed. In October, 1863, the regiment was placed in Harker's (3d) Brigade, Newton's (2d) Division, Fourth Corps, in which command it fought during the long and bloody campaign against Atlanta. General Harker was killed while leading the assault on Kenesaw Mountain, June 27, 1864. After the fall of Atlanta the Fourth Corps served in Tennessee, on the campaign against Hood, the regiment fighting at Spring Hill, Franklin and Nashville, although but few men were then remaining in its ranks. The men who did not reenlist had all been mustered out in October, 1864, prior to the campaign against Hood.
