Civil War
Twenty Fourth Regiment Infantry
On the 28th it was deployed as skirmishers, and assisted in driving the enemy into their main warks, capturing a number of prisoners. Falling back with the army, it encamped at Kelly's Ford, and on the 24th of December proceeded to Culpepper, where it went into winter quarters.
On the 6th of February, 1864, the regiment, with the 2d Wisconsin and 76th N. Y., in command of Colonel Morrow, made a reconnoissance to Raccoonville, on the Rapidan, where a force of the enemy's sharpshooters had been posted, and at midnight burned the place while under direct fire of the enemy's artillery on the opposite side of the river.
