notes.--Organized at
Lafayette, Ind., in December, 1861, and ordered immediately into
Kentucky, where it went into a Camp of Instruction near
Bardstown.
In February, 1862, it moved with
Buell's Army on its various campaigns in
Kentucky and
Tennessee, having been assigned to
Wagner's Brigade of
Wood's Division, in which it was present at
Shiloh, but not under fire.
Wood's (6th) Division participated in the campaigns of the Army of the Ohio in 1862, the occupation of
Tennessee, and the retreat into
Kentucky.
The regiment was engaged at
Stone's River, where it lost 4 killed, 68 wounded, and 13 missing. The brigade was absent at
Chickamauga, it having been detailed just at that time on duty at
Chattanooga, and left behind as the army passed through.
Upon the re-organization of the Army of the Cumberland, October 20, 1863, the regiment was assigned to
Wagner's (2d) Brigade,
Sheridan's (2d) Division, Fourth Corps, in which command it fought at
Missionary Ridge, where it sustained a loss of 20 killed and 138 wounded; total, 158.
During the
Atlanta campaign,
General Newton commanded the division, and in the unsuccessful assault on
Kenesaw Mountain the regiment met with another severe loss, the percentage of casualties being very large.
At the
battle of Franklin,
General Wagner commanded the division, and
Colonel John Q. Lane the brigade.
After the
battle at Nashville the regiment remained in winter-quarters near that city until the spring of 1865, when, the war having closed, it was ordered to New Orleans.
From there it went with the Fourth Corps to
Texas, where it joined
Sheridan's Army of Occupation, remaining there until December 21, 1865, when it was mustered out.
