men were killed or wounded. It was a part of Gen Hooker's army in moving to Chancellorsville and took an active part in that battle. On Sunday, May 3, 1863, Companies A and B were thrown forward as skirmishers, supported by the regiment, and in advancing through the woods came near to the Chancellor House, where the enemy poured in a steady fire of grape and canister. When they developed the enemy flanking them on the right, Gen. Humphreys fell back to his first position. Soon after this the woods were on fire, which caused the loss of many lives. On the 5th Hooker retreated.
