notes.--Organized at
New Albany, Ind., September 18, 1861, proceeding immediately to
Kentucky, where it encamped near
Murfreesboro during the following
fall and
winter.
In February, 1862, it marched with
Buell's Army in its advance on
Bowling Green and
Nashville.
The summer of 1862 was spent in
Tennessee, in the vicinity of
Shelbyville, and also near
Chattanooga, returning to
Kentucky in October, where the campaign culminated on the 8th, in the battle of Chaplin Hills.
The regiment was then in
Rousseau's Division, which sustained the main force of the attack in that battle, the regiment losing 27 killed and 125 wounded; five of the color-guard were killed, and the
color-sergeant was severely wounded.
At
Stone's River, the regiment was in
Scribner's (1st) Brigade,
Rousseau's (1st) Division, Fourteenth Corps, its casualties in that battle amounting to 14 killed, 94 wounded, and 4 missing.
General Baird commanded the division at
Chickamauga, where the Thirty-eighth lost 13 killed, 57 wounded, and 39 missing. It reenlisted, and served in 1864 in the
Atlanta campaign,--then in
Carlin's (1st) Brigade,
Johnson's (1st) Division.
It distinguished itself at the
battle of Jonesboro, in which the color-bearer was killed while planting his flag inside the enemy's intrenchments.
Its casualties on the
Atlanta campaign amounted to 103, killed, wounded and missing.
In November, 1864, the corps marched with
Sherman through
Georgia to the sea, and then in March, 1865, through the Carolinas.
At
Bentonville, the last battle of the
Fourtenth Corps, the division (
Carlin's) was prominently engaged, the regiment suffering a severe loss.
