Its division — Hamilton's — then moved to Corinth, where it joined the besieging army, arriving there April 22, 1862. Although the regiment was under fire at New Madrid, and also during the Siege of Corinth, yet it sustained little or no loss. But at luka it was hotly engaged, its skirmishers opening that battle ; the' whole regiment was soon under a severe fire, in which Colonel Boomer was seriously wounded. Two weeks later, under Lieutenant-Colonel Holman, it was engaged at the battle of Corinth; it was then in Buford's (ist) Brigade, Hamilton's (3d) Division, Army of the Mississippi. During the Vicksburg campaign it was in Boomer's (3d) Brigade, Crocker's Division, Seventeenth Corps. At Champion's Hill the regiment encountered some more hard fighting and heavy losses, Major Charles F. Brown being among the killed. Colonel Boomer was killed in the assault on Vicksburg— May 22d — while in command of the brigade. In October, 1863, the division under command of General John E. Smith—now the Third Division, Fifteenth Corps — left Memphis, and moved to Chattanooga, where it fought in the battle of Missionary Ridge. This division did not move with Sherman on the Atlanta campaign, but garrisoned Allatoona, Ga., Kingston, Ga., and other points on that line. The regiment was mustered out in November, 1864, the recruits having been consolidated into a battalion of three companies, which marched with Sherman to the Sea, and through the Carolinas. _11845
