The men were recruited in August, 1862, from the forests and mountain districts of the State, and proved worthy of their adopted name. Roy Stone, Major of the original Bucktails, and an officer of more than ordinary ability, was appointed Colonel. He was, soon after, given a brigade of Pennsylvania troops which included the two new Bucktail regiments. The brigade was only slightly engaged at Chancellorsville, but at Gettysburg it took a meritorious part in the battle of the first day. It was then in Doubleday's (3d) Division, First Corps ; its casualties on that field were 66 killed and mortally wounded, 159 wounded, and in captured or missing; total, 336. Colonel Stone being in command of the brigade at Gettysburg, Lieutenant-Colonel Walton Dwight led the regiment; both fell severely wounded. In 1864, Stone's brigade formed a part of Wadsworth's Division, Fifth Corps. In the battle of the Wilderness May 5, 1864, the regiment lost ii killed, 109 wounded, and 95 captured or missing; and at Spotsylvania, 12 killed, 84 wounded, and 3 missing ; many of the missing never returned. In February, 1865, the regiment was ordered to Elmira, where it remained on duty at the prison camp until the close of the war. _08713
