This regiment was organized at Chicago in Sept. 1862, and was known as the "Second Board of Trade Regiment."

It was engaged in the battle of Perrysville, losing 4 killed, 5 mortally and 36 slightly wounded. Its next engagement was at Stone's river and it also participated in battle of Chickamauga. It formed part of the assaulting column upon the left center of the enemy's position at the battle of Missionary ridge and was among the first to place its colors upon the enemy's works. It was with the 4th corps throughout the whole of the Atlanta campaign, up to and including the capture of Atlanta. It fought the Rocky Face ridge, Resaca, Adairsville, New Hope Church, Pine mountain, Mud creek, Kennesaw mountain, Smyrna camp ground, Atlanta, Jonesboro and Lovejoy's Station. Moving then to Tennessee, it was engaged in skirmishes at Columbia and Spring Hill, and in the battle of Franklin was upon the right center, the main point of the enemy's attack. It was also engaged in the battle of Nashville. Its losses in the engagement in which it participated aggregate two-thirds of its number, and its conduct in every battle was such as to merit and receive the commendation of its brigade, division and corps commanders.
