United States Civil War
FIFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
It was under artillery fire at Wapping Heights July 23d, but suffered no loss. On the 16th of August the regiment left Bealton Station for Alexandria, and on the 23d sailed for New York, whence it proceeded to Troy, N. Y., where it remained until the 12th of September, being held with other troops in reserve against a threatened outbreak for which the draft then in progress was made the excuse. It then repaired to its corps in the army of the Potomac. It participated in the backward movement to Fairfax Station in October, having on the 13th a slight skirmish at Auburn Heights.
