This was the battle that ended William Nesbit's service in the Confederate Army.
BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG
The regiment brought 400 men to the field and lost about 160 casualties.
Colonel Wasden was killed while leading the regiment in a charge across Emmitsburg Road on July 2. Lt. Nesbit was wounded on the second day.
Captain George Jones of Company B was wounded and captured. Captain Jeff Leonard of Company D was killed. Captain Joseph D. Foster of Company E was captured. Captain Joseph McAfee of Company I was wounded and captured.
Captain Isaac W. Callaway of Company K was mortally wounded and captured.
Adjutant J.D. Daniel was captured. Lieutenant William H. Nesbit of Company E was wounded, losing his arm and captured. (I am not sure Nesbit was captured.)
Lieutenant William J. Hall of Company was wounded and captured. Lieutenants Oliver H.P. Beall and James L. Shirley of Company H were captured. Lieutenant Charles A. McAfee of Company I was killed.
This was a regiment that was very involved in the fighting, obviously.
