At the battle of Stone's river it suffered severely. Its next engagement was at Chickamauga, where during the first day's fight it charged a Confederate battery, killed all the horses, and captured the guns and the men. In the first day's engagement the regiment lost 124 officers and men killed, wounded and prisoners. It was in the charge on Orchard knob in November and suffered severely.
