notes.--Organized at Jefferson in August, 1861, moving to Camp Chase, Columbus, O., on December 25th; it left the State on January 17, 1862, having been ordered to West Virginia. While there it served under General Lander, and then, having been assigned to Shields's Division, participated in the movement up the Shenandoah Valley, and in the battle of Kernstown. It was, also, hotly engaged at the battle of Port Republic, June 9, 1862, where it lost 17 killed, 41 wounded, and 114 captured or missing. At Cedar Mountain, it was in Geary's (1st) Brigade, Augur's (2d) Division, Banks's Corps; loss, 6 killed, 50 wounded, and 10 missing; at Chancellorsville — then in Candy's (1st) Brigade, Geary's (2d) Division, Twelfth Corps--it lost 2 killed, 42 wounded, and 28 missing; at Gettysburg, 7 killed, and 31 wounded. In September, 1863, it accompanied the Twelfth Corps to Tennessee, where it had been ordered to the relief of Chattanooga. The regiment was present at the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge; in May, 1864, it served under Sherman in the Atlanta campaign. The first battle of that campaign occurred at Dug Gap, May 8, 1864, the Twenty-ninth sustaining the heaviest loss in that action; its casualties at Dug Gap were 26 killed, 67 wounded, and 1 missing. The Corps number had been changed, in April, 1864, to the Twentieth, with General Hooker in command. The regiment marched to the sea with the Twentieth Corps, and was engaged at the Siege of Savannah, where Major Myron T. Wright fell mortally wounded. It then participated in the final campaign in the Carolinas, and was mustered out July 13, 1865.
