   The regiment broke camp at Springfield on the morning of Tuesday July 16th 1861 and proceeded by Western R. R. to Boston; thence marched to Medford Mass, where a temporary encampment was made. On Thursday, July 25th at evening the regiment embarked at Boston on the steamers "Ben Deford" and "S. R. Spaulding", and sailed for Washington, where they arrived about noon on Sunday July 28th. The left wing of the regiment disembarked from the "Ben Deford" at the Arsenal wharf and the right wing from the "S. R. Spaulding" at the Navy Yard. The next day in the afternoon the regiment marched through the city to Kalorama Heights; in camp there eight days, then removed to Brightwood, five miles north of Washington, and there remained without important change till March 10th 1862.
