On the 1st of November following this regiment was stationed at Lexington, Ky., and remained at that point until February 21st, 1863, when it marched toward Danville, arriving on the 22d. On the 24th, with the forces under General Carter, it retreated from Danville to the Kentucky river, skirmishing with the rebels under General Pegram during the retreat.
