This Regiment was transferred, from the Army of the Potomac to the Armies operating near Chattanooga, Tennessee, arriving at Wachatchie, October 29th, 1863. It participated with General Geary's White Star Division in the capture of Lookout Mountain, November 24th, 1863. On the 25th, crossed the Chattanooga Valley to the foot of Missionary Ridge, north of Rossville Gap, gaining the crest about three fourths of a mile north of that point, and assisting in the capture of many prisoners during and after the charge of the Army of the Cumberland which drove the enemy from the ridge, then followed the retreating Confederate Army on the 26th and 27th, engaging in its final defeat at Ringgold, Georgia.
