these rolls before him. In some companies the record of
events since 30 June, 1863 (last muster) is specific; in some,
no details are given other than what appears opposite the
name of the individual.

Captain Duval, of Company A, reports that his company
went into action at Gettysburg with 92 men and lost, killed
11, and wounded 66, on the first day, and on the third day,
1 killed, Captain Wagg, and 10 wounded and missing;
total, 88.

First Lieutenant W. J. Lambert, of Company E, says his
company took into the battle 82 men and lost, killed and mor-
tally wounded 18, and wounded 52, on the first day, and on
the second day’s fight only two men escaped.

Captain Albright, of Company G, reports the loss of his
company at 12 killed and 58 wounded and missing.

Captain McIver, of Company H, reports 17 killed and 55
wounded at Gettysburg.

Lieutenant Polk, of Company K, says he recrossed the
Potomac at Falling Waters with 16 men, having crossed that
river in June on the way to Gettysburg, with 103, rank and
file.

Captain Tuttle, of Company F, declares that every man
was killed or wounded in his company that he took into the

battle.
The following is the number killed and wounded and miss-

ing at Gettysburg, ascertained from the reports as given on

the muster rolls of the companies, dated 31 August, 1863:
“Killed and mortally wounded, 139. Wounded and miss-

ing, 535.”

This enumeration omits some wounded who had returned
to duty prior to 31 August, 1863, the date of the muster.

The muster rolls for 30 June, 1863, make the aggregate
present for duty, enlisted men, 885; allowing 10 per cent.
for extra duty and details, it would leave about 800 muskets
taken into battle at Gettysburg on the first day. Of this
number 708 were killed, wounded and missing as the losses
in the first and third day’s fighting at Gettysburg.. Over 88
per cent—and of the officers, 34 out of 39 were killed or

wounded. Over 87 per cent.
