Description An account of the resource distance of thirty two miles, in twenty four hours. October 22nd they marched back to Cherry Run Ford, on the 25th and 26th to Downsville, and on the 30th and 31st to Berlin, Maryland. November 2nd, they crossed the Potomac at the last-named place into Virginia, and arrived November 8th at New Baltimore five miles from Warrenton. November 16th they marched from New Baltimore, and arrived on the 18th at the camp two miles from Stafford Court House. December 11th the Tenth crossed the Rappahannock at sundown, two miles below Fredericksburg. This regiment with four others held the south bank of the river till daylight on the next morning when other forces were sent across, and took the front line. The regiment was not actively engaged in the battle, but was under the severe artillery fire of the enemy, sustaining but slight loss.

After the heights were carried, the regiment joined the brigade, and advanced to Salem Heights, where the enemy had taken position.
