This regiment was organized at Madison and was mustered in
Aug. 30, 1862. It left the state Sept. 1 for Louisville,
where it was assigned to a brigade in Buell's army and joined
the pursuit of Bragg.
It next moved with Rosecrans' army to Murfreesboro, and was
engaged at Stone's River. It remained in camp at Murfreesboro
until June, and was in the engagement at Hoover's Gap. It was
at Chickamauga, where its corps withstood every assault and
the regiment's loss was 21 killed, 72 wounded and 29 missing.
It was engaged in a skirmish in front of Chattanooga during
the siege of that place, was in a lively affray at Brown's
Ferry, and in the storming of Missionary Ridge. It moved in
May, 1864, upon the Atlanta campaign and took part in the
assault at Buzzard Roost, where Lieut.- Col. Slocum was
mortally wounded, and in which the regiment lost 25.
It fought at Resaca, Dallas, Kingston, Kennesaw Mountain,
Peachtree Creek, in front of Atlanta, and in numerous
intervening skirmishes. It was in a sharp fight upon the
skirmish line, Aug. 7, losing 26 in killed and wounded, out of
105 engaged, and was also in action at Jonesboro.
It returned to Atlanta and remained there until Oct. 3, when
it joined the movement to repel Hood, proceeding as far as
Gaylesville, Ala. It then returned and moved to Savannah,
afterward accompanied the army through the Carolinas, being
engaged at Bentonville. It was at Goldsboro, for a brief
time, moved thence to Raleigh, and on Apr. 30 marched for
Washington, where it participated in the grand review and was
mustered out June 9, 1865.
The recruits were transferred to the 22nd Ind. with which they
remained until it was mustered out.
The original strength of the 82nd was 938; gain by recruits,
157; total, 1,095. Loss by death, 227; desertion, 33;
unaccounted for, 13.
