The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought on the 13th, the rebel troops
having been forced out of the town to their fortifications on the
Heights in the rear.
The Regiment was severely engaged. General Griffin called on Whipple
for Carroll's Brigade, and it was promptly moved up through the
town under fire of shot and shell. Stopping in a cut of the Richmond
Railroad, then climbing the steep embankment, the Brigade rushed on
and was soon at the very front. Two Companies went on in advance of
the line of battle and had to be recalled. During the night the enemy
attempted to force the part of the line occupied by the 84th and 110th
Pa., but was repulsed.
