It was placed in Hazen's Brigade of Nelson's Division, in which command it fought at Shiloh, losing 10 killed, and 93 wounded, out of about 450 in action. In that battle the regiment, under command of Colo nel Whitaker, made a gallant fight; it captured there three pieces of artillery, the Colonel cutting down one of the cannoniers with a bowie-knife, just taken from a captured man. After sharing in the siege operations about Corinth, the regiment participated in the long, wearisome marches of Buell's Army in the summer and fall of 1862, and after marching through Northern Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky, was engaged at the battle of Stone's River. It was then in Palmer's Division, its loss in that battle amounting to 13 killed, 90 wounded, and 10 missing, Lieutenant-Colonel George T. Colton being among the killed. The regiment encountered its hardest fighting and severest loss at Chickamauga, where, out of a small number present, it lost i 2 killed, 95 wounded, and ii missing.

It was mustered out on November 2, 1864, its term of service having expired. The recruits and reenlisted men with unexpired terms, remaining in the field, were transferred to the Fourth Kentucky Mounted Infantry. 22 _09639
