Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
about a mile of the ground has been lost, fifteen pieces of cannon, the camp of the division of the advance guard, that of General Casey; but now we hold our own. "
The campaign on the Peninsula having ended, the army was withdrawn and soon entered on the Pope campaign.
The regiment, having returned with the army, was in the engagement at
Groveton (Bull Run), of the 29th of June, losing twenty killed, with a large number missing, and on September 1st was again engaged at Chantilly.
Thus ended the disastrous Pope campaign, and the army, broken and demoralized, was withdrawn within the fortifications around Washington.
