The regiment was organized in August, 1861, joining the army in October of the same year, where it was assigned to Heintzelman's Division. It performed outpost duty in Virginia for several months, during which an affair occurred on the picket line in which Captain Chapman and Quartermaster Lysle were killed. When the Third Corps moved to the Peninsula the Sixty-third went there with its brigade (Jameson's), and took part in some of the hardest fighting in that campaign. At Fair Oaks, with only eight companies in line, it held its position steadily in the face of a musketry fire which cut down over a hundred men; 23 were killed, 79 wounded, and 20 missing. At Manassas, Colonel Hays was severely wounded, the regiment losing 15 killed, 94 wounded, and 11 missing. It was hotly engaged again, at Chancellorsville, where it lost many of its most valued officers. In that battle, Colonel Kirkwood, Adjutant McGranahan, and four line officers were killed. After the discontinu ance of the Third Corps, with its gallant organization, the regiment was placed in Hays's Brigade, Birney's Division, Second Corps. General Hays was killed at the Wilderness, and in the same battle the Sixty-third lost 191 of its number killed or wounded, out of 485 in line. Its term of service expired September 9, 1864. The recruits and reiJnlisted men remaining in the field were transferred to the Ninety-ninth Pennsylvania, while the others, few in number, returned to their homes. _07951
