J., August 14, 1861, and arrived at Washington the same month, where it remained encamped during the succeeding fall and winter. In February, Colonel Halsted resigned, and was succeeded by Percy Wyndham, an officer of the Italian army who had seen some service in Europe. The regi ment took the field early in 1862, entering upon a series of arduous and perilous campaigns which ended only with the war. In addition to the actions above mentioned, the regiment was engaged in a large number of affairs in which it lost men wounded or captured. In 1862 it served in General Bayard's cavalry brigade; at Gettys burg, it was in Macintosh's (ist) Brigade, Gregg's (ad) Division, Cavalry Corps; in 1864 Davies commanded this brigade, in which the regiment remained without further change. Colonel Janeway fell at Amelia Springs; Lieutenant-Colonel Virgil Broderick and Major John H. Shelmire were killed at Brandy Station ; Major James H. Hart was killed at Dinwiddie C. H., March 31, 1865. _07010
