Following the Flag, from August 1861 to November 1862, with the Army of the Potomac

It has not been possible to obtain a complete and correct list of
all the regiments engaged in that battle. Some regiments, after the
battle of South Mountain, were detached from their brigades, and
sent on special service; others were kept in the rear, to guard the
trains; others were sent on flank movements. But much care has been
taken in the description of that battle to give the exact position
of the divisions engaged, and also the brigades, so that it will be
comparatively easy to ascertain the general position of most of the
regiments.
