TWENTIETH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The regiment left its rendezvous at Jackson for Washington September lst, 1862, in command of Colonel Williams, with 1,012 officers and men on the rolls, and on its arrival at Washington was sent into camp at Fort Lyon, near Alexandria, with orders to report to General Burnside, commanding the 9th army corps of the Potomac. On September 8th the regiment marched to join Burnside, then on the Maryland campaign, but on reaching Leesboro the army had moved. It remained at that point until the 18th, when it marched for Sharpsburg via Frederick City, Middleton, and Boonsboro, arriving at Sharpsburg on the 22d.
