      out with ninety-eight men and recruited with eighty-four, a total of 182; 
      seventeen died and twenty-two deserted.  This regiment entered the service 
      under the command of Milo S. Hascall, who afterward became a brigadier 
      general.  During most of its term it was in the mounted infantry service.  
      It first joined the forces in the front in western Virginia, and was in
