Notes: Organized at Harrisburg in the fall of 1861, from companies in various parts of the State. It left Harrisburg, December 19, 1861, and went to Jeffersonville, IN, where it was placed in a Camp of Instruction, but after a four weeks' stay took the field in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Second and Third Battalions were actively engaged, May 5, 1862, in an affair at Lebanon, TN; the Third Battalion, on July 13, 1862, was overpowered and captured after a hard contest at Murfreesboro, TN. The Seventh distinguished itself by a gallant charge through the streets of Shelbyville, TN, on June 27, 1863. This charge was made by three companies under Captain Davis, who with his men dashed through the main street, up to the public square, in which there was a battery commanding the approach. The men rode through the fire of canister up to the muzzles of the guns, into the battery, fought for a while over the cannons, and then, aided by troops which entered the town at other points, drove the garrison through the streets, out into the country and into the Duck River. The Seventh lost two officers killed in this charge. The regiment reenlisted in the spring of 1864, and then accompanied Sherman's Army on the Atlanta campaign. It participated, in the spring of 1865, in Wilson's expedition to the Gulf, and-in Long's Division-took part in the daring and successful assault on the enemy's intrenchments at Selma, AL.
