The remainder of the regiment was organized in Louisville, Kentucky, and mustered in on September 26, 1862, for three years service under the command of Colonel Alexander W. Holeman.  Following the [[Battle of Perryville]], much of the city was converted into makeshift hospitals; 1600 sick and wounded Confederate soldiers were captured during a raid by the [[9th Kentucky Cavalry]] under [[Lieutenant colonel (United States)|Lieutenant Colonel]] John Boyle on October 10, 1862. The city then remained under martial law for the remainder of the war.<ref name="kleber"/>
