Its first battle occurred at Chancellorsville, where it lost 31 killed, 119 wounded, and 14 missing, Colonel Beaver being among the severely wounded. General Caldwell com manded the division at Gettysburg, and Colonel Cross (Fifth New Hampshire), the brigade; the loss of the regiment was 19 killed, 101 wounded, and 5 missing. It went into winter quarters (1863-4) near Stevensburg, Va., receiving in the meanwhile 283 conscripts and 120 recruits, a needed accession. It was prominently engaged at Po River and Spotsylvania, where it lost 33 killed, 235 wounded, and 33 missing; total, 301, the greatest loss of any infantry regiment at Spotsylvania. Colonel Beaver, while in command of a brigade, was severely wounded at Petersburg, June 16,1864. He rejoined his regiment just as it was entering the fight at Ream's Station, where he was again wounded, and suffered amputation of a leg. In September, 1864, the War Department ordered that one regiment in each division be armed with breech-loading rifles ; the One Hundred and Forty-eighth was selected by General Hancock as the deserving one in its division to be thus armed. _08682
