at Winchester it was brigaded under Gen. E.K. Smith, with the Ninth and Eleventh Alabama, Nineteenth Mississippi,
and Thirty-eighth Virginia. It saw no active service for several months, and lay near Manassas and Centerville, with
Gen. Wilcox in command of the brigade. It was doing some detached duty when attacked at Drainsville, where it lost
21 killed and 64 wounded. The regiment marched to the peninsula, and was shelled at Yorktown. It fought at
Williamsburg, and there lost 85 killed and wounded. Held in reserve at Seven Pines, it suffered lightly.The Tenth took
a conspicuous part in the battles of Gaines' Mill and Frazier's Farm, and emerged from these terrible conflicts with a
loss of over 200 men killed and wounded. It was at the second battle of Manassas and about 30 of its men fell on that
sanguinary field. Under fire at Harper's Ferry, it marched rapidly to Sharpsburg, and of the 200 men with which it
entered the battle, over half were left dead or wounded there. During the winter of 1862-'3, the Tenth was on the
Rappahannock, and saw some active duty, suffering lightly at Hazel River and Fredericksburg. It sustained the shock
of Sedgewick's corps at Salem, and of its 400 men engaged, 120 were killed and wounded while the brigade lost 441
casualties, and that exact number of the enemy's dead were counted in its front. In the harvest that death reaped at
Gettysburg were 175 of the men of this regiment killed or wounded, of 450 engaged. The Tenth spent the winter of
1863-'4 near Orange C.H., and was hotly engaged at the Wilderness and Spottsylvania, losing about 50 killed and
wounded in the former, and about 60 in the latter, battle. It participated at the second conflict at Cold Harbor, where
it lost about 20 killed and wounded. In the months of August and June, 1864, the Tenth took part in the fierce
struggles around Petersburg, suffering severely in the majority of them. At Hatcher's Run it lost 15 or 20 disabled,
and about 30 at High Bridge and Farmville, on the retreat to Appomattox. There the regiment furled its colors forever,
ten commisioned officers and 208 men being present. Of 1429 names on its rolls, nearly 300 fell in battle or died of
wounds, about 180 died of disease, and 249 were discharged or transferred.
