All the dates for regimental commanders on my website are taken from Edmund Raus’ book on the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg, “A Generation on the March.” Thanks for writing. :)

Robinson was not wounded – at least to any effect at Gettysburg. Maj. Mark Finnicum took over the regiment when Robinson left to assume the command of the Iron Brigade after General Meredith, was injured when his horse fell and rolled over him severely injuring him. Robinson continued in temporary command of the Iron Brigade until May of 1864.
