[1] The regiment was initially armed with outdated Prussian Potsdam muskets, an unpopular weapon that the soldiers considered more dangerous to the shooter than the person being shot at,[2] aside from the flank companies which had Enfield rifles (the Potsdam muskets were replaced with Springfield rifles later that year).
Colonel Burstenbinder was even less popular, being described in regimental histories as "an imbecile, imposter, and knave detested by all".
He had completely failed to instill even a minimum of training and discipline in the regiment, and on March 12, 1862, he was arrested and court-martialed.
[2] Lt. Col Alvin Voris assumed command of the regiment and led it in its first engagement at Kernstown.
He was promoted to colonel shortly after the battle and led the regiment for the remainder of its service.
He achieved a degree of medical history a decade after the war when he underwent surgery after complaining of severe abdominal pain.
Doctors found half of a Minie ball lodged in his bladder, and Voris had gone with this condition for years without any apparent ill effects.
