The regiment was in the Atlanta campaign, being engaged at Resaca, Dallas, where its loss was heavy, Kennesaw Mountain, Chattahoochee river, and Peachtree creek. It was also in the siege of Atlanta and after the occupation of that city the non-veterans were ordered to Indiana, where they were mustered out on Oct. 27, 1864. The five companies of veterans and recruits were consolidated into two maximum companies, known as A and B, detachment of the 37th regiment, and accompanied Sherman's army through the Savannah and Carolina campaigns, being engaged in a number of skirmishes.
