Battle of GettysburgThe regiment was commanded by Captain Wilber F. Stevens until he was slightly wounded on July 3. Captain Edward Hayes then took command. Stevens’ name was left off the monument, possibly because Storer thought him a coward at Cedar Mountain and for leaving the field at Gettysburg with only a slight wound.
