HISTORY OF THE
EIGHTY FOURTH INFANTRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
The Eighty Fourth Regiment, Indiana Infantry, was organized at Richmond, and inustered into the service of the United States September 3, 1862, with Nelson Trusler as Colonel. On the 8th of September it was sent to Covington, Kentucky, and upon its arrival there was assigned to the defenses of Covington and Cin- cinnati, Ohio, then threatened by the invasion of the army of the Confederate General, Kirby Smith. This regiment remained at Covington until October Ist, when it was sent to Western Virginia, and upon its arrival in that State went into camp at Point Pleasant, where it remained until the 13th of October, when it was sent to Guyandotte. At this latter place the regiment remained employed in scouting duty until the 14th of November. On the 14th of November, 1862, the regiment was ordered to Catlettsburg, Kentucky, and after a short stay at that place was moved to Cassville, Kentucky, where it remained until the 7th of February, 1863. On the 7th of February the regiment was sent to Catlettsburg, placed on board a steamer and sent down the Ohio River to Louisville, where it was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, Army of the Ohio. The regiment was then sent to Nashville, Tennessee, and remained in camp at Nash- ville until March 5, 1863. From thence it was sent to Franklin, Tennessee, re- maining until the first part of June. During the time of its encampment at Franklin, it took part in several reconnaisances and skirmishes.
