This regiment was formed at Dalton, Ga. during the winter of 1861-62. It served first in Tennessee, then in Mississippi where it was a part of T. H. Taylor's Brigade, Department of Mississippi and East Louisianna. It fought at Champion's Hill and Vicksburg, where it surrendered on July 4, 1863. After being exchanged, the regiment was brigaded under General Cummings and fought with the Army of Tennessee from Chattanooga to Nashville, Georgia, and the Carolina's Campaign.
