It was immediately sent to Louisville, Kentucky and departing there on 25 August, it moved to Munfordville, where it fought a portion of Bragg's forces for two days and where most of the regiment was captured. Paroled to Indianapolis, it later served in Tennessee, fighting at Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, and Chattanooga. Includes a section of "Songs and Poetry of the War." Scarce regimental history, with few auction/catalog records of it being offered. REFERENCES: DORN IND#152; NEVINS I pg. 104: A straight regimental narrative, void of color and personal incidents; the author did use several diaries and collections of letters by comrades. COULTER 229: "High writes almost entirely from the impersonal viewpoint and thus makes his work more truly a regimental history and less a travel account. Using a great many diaries and other personal material of his comrades he has produced a somewhat composite picture of the upper South.". N° de ref. del artículo 0124068
