Fought gallantly at Shiloh two days, the second day under command of Lt. Cusley, the regimental officers being off duty or wounded. At Metamora, 5 Oct 1861, the regiment suffered heavily. On its way to join Gen. Grant, before Vicksburg. 12 Jul 1863, it went into battle at Johnson, MS, with 241 men, and lost 114 killed, wounded and missing. Participated in the Meredian expedition, arriving there 3 Feb 1864, and the next day tore up 15 miles of railroad. Near Atlanta did good service, July 28th. Greatly reduced in numbers, the survivors re-enlisted, forming three companies, and consolidated with the Second Infantry. |
