HISTORY OF THI-317111 TNFANTRY Organized under the Acts of Congress of January II and June 26, 1812, and first formed from personnel mainly from Kentucky, the Regiment Was officially known as the Seventeenth Infantry. Its Colonel Was Samuel Wells, appointed from the Kentucky Militia. On May 17, 1815, the Regiment Was consolidated with the First, Nineteenth, Twenty-eighth, and Thirty-ninth Regiments of Infantry, to form the Third Regiment. By direction of the President, May 4, 1861, the Regiment was again organized as a three battalion regiment. The organizing of the Regiment in 1861 for the Civil War was at Fort Preble, Maine, and it immediately participated in the Peninsular Campaign. During the War the Regi- ment took meritorious part in twenty-tvvo engagements. The tvvo most striking exploits of the Regiment's Civil War services were the parts it took in the fighting of Devil's Den at the Battle of Gettysburg, and in carrying the stone Wall at the battle of Fredericksburg. Following the Civil War the Regiment was engaged in reconstruction duty in the West. This period included what have probably been the most trying of its duties. The suppression of Indian outbreaks, guarding the construction of railroads, establishing outlying posts, and assisting pioneers of the frontier, were accomplishments hardly less glorious than its action on the field of battle. . In June, 1899, the organization Was sent to the Philippine Islands to quell the Philip- pine Insurrection. It returned to the United States in 1892, and Was stationed on the Pacihc Coast. The Regiment's second duty in the Philippines, its services in Cuba as a part of the Army of Pacification, and, later on, its service on the Mexican Border carried it to 1919. The opening of the World War found the Regiment stationed at Forts McPherson and Oglethorpe, guarding interned German sailors. The entire Regiment assembled in June at Chickamauga Park, Georgia, for training. In June, 1922, it was sent to Fort Crook, Nebraska, Where it Was formed into a combat regiment with its Second and Third Battalions at Fort Omaha. I Of the sixty-five years of the Regiment's history, forty-two have been in service against the enemies of the Republic. These services have been in actual Warfare, Indian and frontier troubles, and in quelling civil disturbances. It has a record of over fifty battles and engagements. ToP Row-Lt. M. A. Quinn, Capt. D.
