HISTORICAL SKETCH.
The Regiment was organized in August,
1861. and at the time of leaving the State, it
numbered over one thousand men. Some of
the Companies, prior to leaving the State,
had performed garrison duty for about three
months, and all were tolerably proficient in
the manual of arms, and had made considera-
BILE progress in drill and discipline. About
the middle of October, 1861, the Regiment
was ordered South. Upon arriving at Leha-
non Junction, it was assigned to General
n;x-;.i tt nod
the 1st of January, 1862, guarding the bridges
and railroad in that vicinity. 1t struck tents
and went to Somerset, Ky. and on the 10Th
engaged in the battle of Mill Springs. After
this fight, tents were again struck, and the
Regiment moved back to Louisville. Here it
remained a short time, and then moved to
Nashville. From here the Regiment was or
dered to Shiloh, but did not arrive until the
day after that fight. 1t took a prominent
part in the siege of COrinth having been en-
gagged in several skirmishes, in which the
rebels got the worst of it," From here it
took its departure for Winchester Tenn.
Again tents were struck and then began the
famous Running up and down through
Kentucky-the rebels under Bragg and the
Union forces under Buell.. Nothing was gained
out Of this campaign. At the battle of Perry
| vile this regiment participated for about an
| hour, towards the close of the engagement.
| Tents were again struck and it moved up to
Crabb Orchard in pursuit of Bragg, but shortly
returned to Gallatin, Tenn, where it remained
| till after the battle of Stone River. On the
| Doth of August, the Second started on for Tula-
homa, driving Bragg across the Tennessee
River At Battle Creek the advance crossed
the river, and then moved over Raccoon and
Lookout Mountain, where it participated in
the battle of Chckamauga on the 10Th and
goth of September. Here the Second lost $50
men in killed and wounded, and was the last
regiment under Thomas command to leave
the field 1t moved back to Chattanooga. and

battle of Mission Ridge losing forty men in
| killed and wounded. After this battle it
chased Bragg as far as Rinsgold and then
returned to Chattanooga, where it remained
