This Division occupied the Cumberland Gap, after the Rebels evactuated it on June 18th, 1862, until forced to evacuate September 17th, 1862. After the evactuation, the division set out for Greenup, Kentucky, having very little food, the men existed on green corn that was ground up by a plate, punched with holes from a bayonet, and used as a grater.

The men arrived on October 3, 1862, with the loss of 80 men.
