NOTES. — Recruited in Philadelphia, May 1861, by Edward D. Baker, United States Senator from California. In July the regiment proceeded to Fort Monroe, whence, after a short stay, it returned to Washington and com menced active service in Northern Virginia. In October it was assigned to Stone's Division, and soon after took part in the affair at Ball's Bluff. Colonel Baker, who was in command of the brigade, was killed there, the regi ment losing 13 killed, 40 wounded, and 228 captured or missing. The Seventy-first was organized with fifteen companies, but after the Peninsular campaign the five superfluous companies were discontinued, and the men transferred to the others. It was assigned to the Second Division of the Second Corps, in which division it remained without change. Sedgwick commanded the division at Antietam, where it was engaged in one of the bloodiest contests of the war. Its loss in that battle was 26 killed, 95 wounded, and 18 missing — one-third of its number on that field. At Gettysburg, it was stationed at the angle of the stone wall against which Armistead and his Confederate brigade made such a desperate attack during Pickett's charge. In this battle the Seventy-first, under Colonel Smith, lost 21 killed, 58 wounded, and 19 missing, out of 24 officers and 397 men carried into action. The regiment was mustered out July 9, 1864, i f s term of service having expired _08032
