They were recmited from every county in the State, in conformity to requirements calling for unmarried, able-bodied men, not over thirty years of age, not under five feet eight inches in height, and of good moral character. The men were of a high order of intelligence, and when the regiment was organized it was found that the average age was twenty-two, and the average height five feet ten and one-half inches. The men wore a zouave uniform during the first year of their service. At Hanover Court House, its first battle, the Forty-fourth made a gallant fight, losing 27 killed and 59 wounded; at Gaines's Mill — Lieutenant-Colonel Rice commanding --it lost 5 killed, 22 wounded, and 29 missing ; and at Malvern Hill, it killed, 84 wounded, and 4 missing, out of 225 who were engaged. The regiment was then in Butterfield's Brigade of Morell's (ist) Division. Two new companies (C and E) joined in October, 1862 (one of them composed of students from the State Normal School at Albany), and took the place of two companies which had been consolidated with the others. At Gettysburg,— then in Vincent's Hrig-ade, Barnes's Division, — the Forty-fourth was one of the first regiments to seize and hold Little Round Top, meeting its greatest loss there; casualties, 20 killed, 82 wounded, and 3 missing; total, 111. At Manassas,— Major Freeman Conner commanding,— the regiment lost 5 killed, 48 wounded, and 18 missing, out of 12 officers and 148 men in action ; at the Wilderness, it lost 4 killed and 63 wounded ; and at Spotsylvania, 8 killed, 48 wounded, and 9 missing.
