Composed mainly of Centre County volunteers, with additional companies from Clarion, Jefferson, and Indiana Counties, it served in the Union Army’s II Corps, Army of the Potomac. Initially guarding the Northern Central Railroad, it joined the First Brigade, First Division, in December 1862. The regiment fought at Chancellorsville (May 1863), where Beaver was wounded, and Gettysburg (July 1863), enduring heavy losses in the Wheatfield under temporary commander Colonel Henry Boyd McKeen after Beaver’s illness. It participated in the pursuit of Lee, Wapping Heights, and the Siege of Petersburg, where Company K, armed with Spencer rifles, captured a fort on October 27, 1864. Three soldiers earned Medals of Honor at Spotsylvania and Petersburg. The regiment suffered 12 officers and 198 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded.
