Some, also, may have fallen out on the forced march to the field. The regiment took eight companies into this affair of July 2d. Company C was on duty at Headquarters as a provost-guard, and Company F had been detailed elsewhere on the field. Colonel Colville states that the loss on the 2d was 215 killed and wounded, out of 262 ; and that on the 3d, Companies F and C, having rejoined, brought the number in that day's fight up to about 100 men. --(Letter to Major H. D. O'Brien, published in the Picket Guard. ) The casualties on the 3d increased the loss to 221. There were 8 officers and 91 men for duty at the close of the third day's battle. The number present in action on the 2d (262) is the one on which the percentage of loss should be based, or at least the loss for that day. The sharpshooters (Company L) did not rejoin until after t

, Hancock succeeding to the command of the corps, and Caldwell to that of Hancock's Division. While on the march to Gettysburg, General Alex. Hays' Brigade joined, and was assigned to the Third Division, Hays taking command of the division. At Gettysburg, the corps was hotly engaged in the battles of the second and third days, encountering there the hardest fighting in its experience, and winning there its grandest laurels; on tlhe second day, in the fighting at the wheat-field, and on the third, in the repulse of Pickett's charge, which was directed against Hancock's position. The fighting was deadly in the extreme, the percentage of loss in the First Minnesota, Gibbon's Division, being without an equal in the records of modern warfare. The loss in the corps was 796 killed, 3,186 wounded and 368 missing; a total of 4,350 out of less than 10,500 12,363 infantry, 82 cavalry and 551 artillery present for duty, equipped. engaged.

rps, then in the Shenandoah Valley, whereupon its active service immediately commenced. It formed part of a cavalry brigade, under General John P. Hatch, with which it took an active part in the fighting at Winchester, May 25, 1862, and on Banks's retreat. In these operations the regiment, acting as a rear guard, lost 105 men, captured or missing, in addition to their killed and wounded. At Gettysburg it was in Farnsworth's (1st) Brigade, Kilpatrick's (3d) Division, Cavalry Corps. On the third day of that battle, Kilpatrick committed the serious error of ordering Farnsworth to charge a large body of Confederate infantry who held a strong position, protected by stone walls. Farnsworth's men, led by the First Vermont, leaping their horses over the intervening walls and fences, made a gallant but useless attack; Farnsworth was killed, and the regiment lost 13 killed, 25 wounded, and 27 missing. The First Vermont was one of the best mounted regiments in the service. In addition to t
