Battle of Gettysburg
The regiment was commanded by Colonel Ira G. Grover. It had 437 men on the field on July 3rd, of whom 2 were killed, 5 wounded and 3 missing.
The regiment had been left behind at Emmitsburg on July 1st to guard the corps trains with orders to wait until relieved by one of Brigadier General George Stannard's Vermont regiments. By 10 a.m. Colonel Grover decided to leave for the front. On the way word came of the battle, and the regiment hurried its march, reaching the battlefield in the early evening. They were posted on the north side of Culp's Hill, going into line next to the survivors of the Iron Brigade. This strong and fresh regiment added greatly to the security of Culp's Hill that evening. Colonel Grover was later brought before a court martial for abandoning his post guarding the trains, but was exonerated and praised for his actions. |
