Its companies were raised in Charleston and the counties of Orangeburg, Lancaster, Barnwell, Greenville, Colleton, and Richland. The regiment served in the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, then moved to Virginia and brigaded under Generals Jenkins and Bratton. It fought at South Mountain, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg, and later served under Longstreet at Suffolk and D.H. Hill in North Carolina.
