He was shot in the right side below the ribs at the battle of Antietam September 17, 1862, and furloughed home for treatment because, as one comrade alleged, "There was no place on the battlefield for the treatment of wounded soldiers." He returned to duty in December 1862 but forwarded to Washington December 16 among a group of convalescents. Therefore, it is not known if he fought at Fredericksburg.
