being present at the original muster-in, and nineteen joining during the winter), nineteen joined in the summer and fall of 1862, fifty-seven in 1-64. and sixty-two were transferred from the First District of Columbia Cavalry. Of the whole number, fifteen (original members) served their three years term of enlistment and were mustered out at its expiration. thirty-two were mustered out with the regiment, forty-nine were discharged for disa- bility arising from disease, and eight from wounds; forty-six were dis- charged at the close of the war as paroled prisoners, convalescents in hospitals, dismounted men, and cavalry men whose term of service expired prior to Oct. 1, 1865; one was discharged to accept promotion in the Thirty- first Maine Infantry: two were discharged by order of the War Department: fifteen were killed in action, five died of wounds received in action, twenty- one died in southern prison, two from the effects of imprisonment. just after being released, and thirteen died from disease; one was transferred to the non-commissioned staff, one to the regimental band, one to the navy. and eight to the veteran reserve corps; twenty are unaccounted for. Of these, five, Sergts. Stimson, Sanford, and McDougall, Wagoner Crooker, and Private Emery T. Gatchell, served with the regiment (the last named on the non-commissioned staff a portion of the time) from its organization. until its final muster out: twenty-five served three years or more, twenty-three served two years and less than three, one hundred and three served one year and less than two, eighty-one served less than one year, and the term of service of three is unknown.
