We are rapidly approaching the flftietli anniversary of one of the most Important battles of the great Civil War of 1861 to 1865. A large majority of its survivors have answered to their last roll call. On September 18 to 20, 1863, was fought the great battle of Chicka- mauga, in which the Seventeenth Indiana, in connection with Wilder's Lightning Brigade of mounted infantry took an important part. In many respects Chickamauga was ' the fiercest conflict of all those that took place between the National and Confederate forces. Ere long the last survivor of that great conflict shall have passed away. On that account the author hereof, with the sanction of our beloved com- manders. General J. T. Wilder and others of the Seventeenth Regiment, de- cided to publish this souvenir volume, and he sincerely trusts that his efforts in its composition will be appreciated by the comrades, their families and friends. At the last meeting of the regimental association, which was held in the city of Anderson, on September 16 and 17, on adjournment it was de- cided, upon request of General Wilder, that our next reunion should be held at the same time and place of the Wilder's Brigade reunion. Since that time the writer hereof has been officially informed that that association, at its meeting at Mattoon, Illinois, decided to hold the next reunion of the brigade at Chattanooga and Chickamauga on September 17 to 20, 1913; hence it is the earnest wish of the author to have the books completed and ready for distribution to the comrades at that time and place.

Colonel John T. Wilder, Seventeenth Indiana Mounted Infantry. Commander of Wilder's Brigade. Brevet Brigadier-General August 7, 1864. The Seventeenth Regiment was organized at Camp Morton, Indianapo- lis, during May, 1861, ^nd was mustered into the United States service on the 12th of June, 1861, for three years. When the regiment was first organ- ized there were ten full companies, but in October, 1861, Company A was taken out and organized into an artillery company and was known as Wild- er's Battery, named after Colonel J. T. Wilder, who afterwards was com- mander of the famous Wilder's Lightning Brigade of mounted infantry, thus leaving only nine companies, until August, 1862. A new Company A was recruited and added, making a full quota of companies of the regiment again. The regiment had a full complement of officers and men,. mostly young men under twenty-one years of age. The companies making up the regiment were from different parts of the State, and not only represented every county in the State and twenty States of the Union, but had representatives from nearly every nation of Europe. On the 1st of July it left Indianapolis for Parkersbtirg, Virginia, which place it reached on the 5th, after stopping three days at Cincinnati. Remaining in this vicinity until the 23d, it took the cars and moved to Oakland, Maryland. Marching sixteen miles to the north branch of the Potomac, it was engaged until the 7th of August in con- structing the fortifications known as Camp Pendleton. Proceeding by rail- road from Oakland to Webster, and thence on foot up Tygart's Valley to Huttonsville, the regiment reached Cheat Mountain Pass on the 12th, and afterward went into camp at Elkwater. While in this vicinity the Seven- teenth participated in the operations of General Reynolds's army, including the battle of Green Brier, on the 3d of October, in which its loss was one killed. On the 19th of November it proceeded to Louisville, Kentucky, where it reported to General Buell on the 30th, and there lay in camp on Oakland Race Course until the 10th of December. Being assigned to General Nelson's Division, tlie regiment marched to Camp Wickliffe, near New Ha- ven, where it remained until February 10, 1862, when it moved toward Green River. Crossing Green River, it marched southward, arriving at Nashville on the 12th of March, and there remained until the march to the Tennessee River was begun. Colonel Hascall being appointed Brigadier-General on the 25th of March, he was succeeded by Lieutenant-Colonel John T. Wilder. Leaving Nashville on the 29th of March, the regiment reached the field of Shiloh on the 8th of April. It then participated in the march to and siege of Corinth, and after its evacuation moved with Buell's army through north- ern Alabama to McMinnvllle, Tennessee, where, on the 30th of August, it overtook Forrest and attacked and routed him. On the 3d of September the Seventeenth left McMinnville and marched via Murfreesboro, Nashville, Bowling Green, Blizabethtown and West Point, to Louisville, Kentucky, ar- riving there on the 25th of September, after marching 270 miles and having a skirmish with Bragg's rear guard on the 21st, near Munfordsville. Leaving Louisville on the 1st of October, it moved to Bardstown, where it remained in camp until the 18th, and then marched to Nashville by the way of Leba- non, Columbia, Glasgow and Gallatin, reaching there on the 2Cth of Novem- ber. Between this and the 1st of February, 1863, the regiment was engaged in num^erous expeditions in different directions from Nashville, and then moved its camp to Murfreesboro. On the 12th of February orders were re- ceived for the regiment to mount itself, and the following month was occu- pied in foraging and pressing horses, until the regiment was fully mounted, after which it was kept constantly moving on scouting expeditions. On the 18th of May the men were armed with Spencer rifles, with which eftective weapons each man became the equal of seven men. After being mounted and until the close of the war the regiment was a part of the famous Wild- er's Lightning Brigade, which included the Seventeenth and Seventy-second Indiana, Ninety-second, Ninety-eighth and One Hundred and Twenty-third Illinois Infantry and the Eighteenth Indiana (Captain Eli Lilly's) Battery. On the 24th of June it moved to Hoover's Gap, where the enemy was strongly posted. The rebel force of five regiments of infantry, three companies of sharpshooters and a battery, made several charges upon the Seventeenth, which were repulsed gallantly. The regiment held the rebels at bay until out of ammunition, when reinforcements from the other regiments of the brigade coming up, the enemy were driven from the field. The Seventeenth captured seventy-five prisoners and one hundred and twenty-five stand of arms, and sustained a loss of forty-eight killed and wounded. After this engagement it marched to Manchester, driving the enemy and capturing many prisoners. It then marched on a raid to Cowan, after which it scouted the country in various directions, and on the 21st of August skirmished with the enemy across the Tennessee River near Chattanooga. After the evacua- tion of that place, the Seventeenth moved towards the North Chickamauga and Dalton, frequently skirmishing with the .enemy. On the 11th of Sep- tember it marched to near Ringgold, where it met Scott's Brigade of rebel cavalry and two pieces of artillery, when a sharp fight ensued, resulting in the driving of the enemy to Tunnel Hill with severe loss. The regiment lost one and two wounded. Between this and the 18th frequent skirmishes occurred with the enemy, and on that day the division to which the Seven- teenth was attached was attacked in force and compelled to fall back. The next day the regiment fought nearly all day in the battle of Chickamauga, breaking the enemy's lines every time he charged. On the 20th it repulsed a severe charge of the enemy, and then charged in return, driving the rebels and killing, wounding and capturing a great number. The regiment fought till 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when it was ordered back toward Chatta- nooga. On the 1st of October it started, as part of General Crook's com- mand, in pursuit of General Wheeler, then in the Sequatchie Valley. On the night of the 3d the regiment attacked Crew's rebel brigade at Thompson's Cove and routed them, capturing a number of arms and the battle flag of the Second Kentucky Cavalry, presented to them by the ladies of Elizabeth- town, Kentucky; the regiment lost but one wounded. The next day it marched to McMinnville, where it skirmished with the enemy and drove him out of and beyond the town, losing two killed and four wounded. On the 7th of October, when beyond Shelbyville, the regiment struck the enemy and attacked him, driving him from the field and into , Farmington, where he made a stand. Here the Seventeenth charged the rebels, capturing three of Wheeler's guns, a great number of small arms and three hundred prison- ers. The regiment lost forty-eight killed and wounded, including three com- missioned officers. Crossing the Tennessee River at Lamb's Perry on the 9th, further pursuit was abandoned and the regiment moved to Huntsville, Alabama, from whence it started, on the 13th, in pursuit of the enemy under Forrest, Roddy, Wharton and others. On the 27th it went into winter quar- ters at Maysville, from whence, on the 18th of November, in pursuance of the orders of General Thomas, two hundred and fifty of the best mounted men marched to near Chattanooga and crossed the Tennessee on Sherman's pontoon on the night of the 23d. Moving in the direction of Cleveland, they went round by Tyner's Station, whilst the battle was raging at Mission Ridge, to within seven miles of Ringgold and destroyed rebel wagon trains and stores. They returned to Cleveland oh the 26th after destroying, alto- gether, seventy-seven wagons. Being attacked the next day by Kelly's Bri- gade, they were forced to destroy the foundry at Cleveland and fall back to near Chattanooga, losing one man killed. On the 30th they marched toward Knoxville, running through the rebel lines to get into the town. Leaving there on the 5th of December, they crossed the Chilhowee Mountain into North Carolina, and then into 'Tennessee, camping at Charleston on the 14th of December. The majority of the regiment, then dismounted and in camp at Pulaski, having re-enlisted on the 14th of January, 1864, left the next day for Nashville, where they were joined on the 18th by the part of the regi- ment at Charleston. Two hundred and eighty-six having been re-mustered as veterans, the regiment left Nashville on the 22d of January for Indian- apolis on veteran furlough. Arriving there on the 25th, it was publicly re- ceived in the Capitol grounds and was addressed by Governor Morton, Colonel Wilder and others. While in Indiana the veterans were allowed to pur- chase horses, and being remounted, left Indianapolis by rail on the 2d of April, and on arriving at Louisville, went into camp until the 18th, when it proceeded to march to Nashville, reaching there on the 25th, after riding one hundred and eighty-six miles. Leaving there next day, the regiment reached Sherman's army, then on the march to Atlanta, on the 10th of May. Prom this time until the 31st of October it was actively and constantly en- gaged In the cayalry and scouting operations incident to the march upon and capture of Atlanta, and the pursuit of Hood's retreating army northT ward. It participated in the numerous skirmishes, the raids to cut the enemy's communications, and was conspicuously engaged at Pumpkin Vine Church, Big Shanty, Belle Plain Road, Kenesaw Mountain, Marietta, Chatta- hoochie River (being the first troops to cross this stream). Stone Moun- tain, Plat Rock, New Hope Church, Rome, Coosaville, Leesburg and Goshen. On the first of November, 1864, after turning over its horses to Kilpatrick's Cavalry, the regiment left Rome, Georgia, for Louisville, Kentucky, where, on the 24th, it was remounted. Moving from Louisville on the 28th of De- cember, it reached Nashville on the 8th of January, 1865, from whence it marched to Gravelly Springs, Alabama, arriving there on the 25th. Here it remained until the 12th of March, when it marched with General Wilson's cavalry command into the interior of Alabama. On the 1st of April the commands of Roddy and Forrest were overtaken and attacked at Ebenezer Church, on Bogue's Creek, twenty-nine miles from Selma. The Seventeenth participated and charged the rebels gallantly, capturing one hundred prison- ers and one gun and losing eight killed, eleven wounded and five missing. On the 2d it participated in the engagement at Selma and in the taking of the rebel works surrounding the town. The Seventeenth first drove the rebels into their forts and then out of them, and afterward drove them from their Interior works and their position behind the railroad embankment into the town, taking all forts from No. 18 to the river on the west side of the town. Four pieces of artillery and about three hundred prisoners were captured. Out of four hundred and twenty-one oflficers and men engaged the Seven- teenth lost twelve killed and eighty wounded. After the battle the regi- ment moved to Montgomery, and from thence to Columbus, Georgia, from which point it marched to Macon, near which place it engaged the enemy on the 20th of April and drove him into the city, saving two important bridges which the rebels were in the act of firing. By a ruse the enemy were led to believe that our force was but the advance of two divisions of cavalry, and the city was surrendered, and with it Generals Howell Cobb, Mackall, Mercer and Gustavus W. Smith, three thousand prisoners, includ- ing officers- of all grades, five stands of colors, sixty pieces of artillery and three thousand small arms. The Seventeenth had in the action during the day four hundred and fifty-one officers and men, of whom one was killed and two wounded. Camping near the city for a month, it moved on to Macon on the 22d of May, where it did post duty until the 8th of August, 1865, when it was mustered out of service, serving a period (as an organi- zation) of four years three months and eight days. Leaving Macon soon after, the regiment arrived at Indianapolis on the 16th of August with six hundred and seventy-five men and twenty-five officers, and was the day fol- lowing publicly received in the Capitol grounds and addressed by Lieuten- ant-Governor Conrad Baker, General Vail, General White, General Wilder and others. In a few days afterwards it was finally discharged from serv- ice. During its term of service the Seventeenth Regiment marched over four thousand miles, and captured over five thousand prisoners, more than six thousand stand of arms, seventy pieces of artillery, eleven stands of colors and more than three thousand horses and mules. All this, was done with the loss of three officers and sixty-six men killed and thirteen officers and one hundred and seventy-six men wounded — a total of killed and wounded of two hundred and fifty-eight. We boast of having accomplished more with the least loss of life than any other regiment in the service. PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS. The Seventeenth Indiana has the distinction of one of its members hav- ing, while on a scouting expedition in West Virginia, shot and killed a dis- tant relative of the father of our country, Colonel John A. Washington, who was at the time chief of General R. E. Lee's staff, by Sergeant J. J. Weiler of Company E. Also one of its number, Captain James A. Taylor, of Com- pany G, being killed in a hand-to-hand confiict with Rebel General Forrest, at Ebenezer Church, Selma, Alaljama. REVEILLE CALL.

Porter, Age 77, 1st Lieut. Wilders Battery March 7, 1863, Feb. 8, 1864. Charles H. Porter, Co. A 1861. Wilders Brigade. Born, Hartford, Conn., 1836 "WILDER" BATTERY. The "Wilder Battery" — Twenty-Sixth — of Light Artillery, was originally recruited in May, 1861, for a light artillery company, by Captain John T. Wilder, of Greensburg, but was not accepted Into service as such. Joining an Infantry regiment then organizing at Indianapolis, it was mustered into service on the 12th of June, 1801, as Company "A" of the Seventeenth Regi- ment. Captain Wilder, having been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the Seventeenth, First Lieutenant Silas F. Rigby was appointed Captain of the company. On the 2d of July, the regiment left Indianapolis for Western Virginia, Company "A" taking along with it two wrought-iron six-pounder guns, which had been presented to the company by Decatur county. At Elk Water, Virginia, Company "A" was organized and detached as an artillery company, and was designated the "First Independent Battery." It was generally known, however, as "Rigby's Battery." During General Reynold's operations on Cheat Mountain, the battery did good service, and when General Milroy marched on his unsuccessful expedition to Alleghany Summit, the battery accompanied him, and was present at the engagement at that place on the 13th of December. In April, 1862, it marched with General Milroy over the mountains, and engaged the enemy under General Johnston at McDowell, Virginia, on the 8th of May, after which It retreated, ■^Ith that command, to Franklin, the retrogade movement being harrassed by the forces of Generals Johnson and Stonewall Jackson. Joining General Fremont's forces, the command moved across the mountains, and chased Stonewall Jackson up the Shenandoah Valley, engag- ing the enemy at Cross Keys, and at other points. After this campaign the battery moved to Winchester, where It became attached to the brigade com- manded by Colonel Piatt, and, with it. remained in garrison at Winchester — the men doing picket and scouting duty as cavalry — until the advance of Lee's army toward Maryland, after the second battle of Bull Run. Falling back from Winchester to Harper's Ferry, it was compelled to surrender with the other forces there. The officers and men were paroled and sent to Camp Douglas, at Chicago, and, subsequently, to Camp Butler, at Springfield, Illinois. Prom Springfield the battery was sent to Indianapolis, where It was re- organized.- by the appointment r>f Lieutenant Hubbard T. Thomas of the Third Battery as Captain, and the nromotion of non-commissioned olflcers to the different grades of Lieutenants. Frnm this neriod, until its discharge from service, the battery was known as the "Wilder Battery." that name having been given it in honor of Colonel Wilder, who firpt organized the company. On the 18th of March. 1863, the batterv left Indianapolis unde^ command of Lieutenant Casper W. McLaughlin, and proceeded to Cincinnati and Covington. From the latter place it moved to Lexington. Kentucky, where it ioined the forces of General Gilmore, commanding the Central Dis- trict of Kentucky. During Its stay in Kentucky, it engaged the enemy at Danville, Dutton's Hill and other points. At Somerset. Cantain Thomas ioined the battery, on the 9th of May. and took command of it. In August, it started across the mountains, i^ith General Burnside's expedition, into East Tennessee, and narticipated in the battles at Carter's Station on the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, and at Watauga River. During the siege of Knoxvllle by T.,ongstreet's forces, the battery was conspicuously en- gaged in the defense of that place, and the honor is claimed for it of having fired the first gun at the commencement of the enea.gement. During the continuance of the defense, the battery rendered effective service in har- rassing the enemy, by dividing the company into sections, and moving these close upon his lines, at night, and from the positions thus gained, sending forth an incessant and annoying artillery fire. When the siege was raised, the battery moved with the army of General Burnslde, and followed In pur- suit of the enemy, engaging him at different places, until the pursuit was abandoned. On the 1st of January, 1864, one hundred and tliree men of the battery re-enllsted as veterans at Strawberry Plains, Bast Tennessee, and cstme home on veteran furlough. On reaching Indianapolis, several of these were not considered eligible for re-muster as veterans, and, consequently, but flfty-flve were re-mustered as veteran volunteers. On the 18th of March, 1864, the Wilder Battery left Indianapolis for the field, returning to East Tennessee. About the last of April, it was attached to the division commanded by General A. P. Hovey, then at Charleston, Tennessee, but, failing to be equipped in time to join the movement of Gen- eral Sherman in his Georgia campaign, it was sent to Knoxville, where it became attached to the "Reserve Artillery," commanded by General Tillson. On the 12th of June, the non-veterans were sent to Indianapolis for muster-out of service. The company remained at Knoxville, doing garrison duty and building fortifications, until March, 18G5, when it was equipped as a four-gun battery, and took the field in General Tillson's command, at the time of General Stoneman's movement through East Tennessee into North Carolina. At the end of this campaign, it encamped at Greenville, East Tennessee, until orders were received for the battery to report at Indi- anapolis for muster-out. Arriving at that place on the 11th of July, with five officers and one hundred and three enlisted men for final discharge, it was present at a reception given to returned regiments and batteries, at the State House, on the 12th, on which occasion addresses were made by Governor Morton, General Hovey and others. On the 19th of July, 1865, the Wilder Battery was formally mustered out, and the officers and men finally discharged from service. Following are the names of the surviving members of Wilder's Battery, June, 1913: 1. First Lieut. Charles H. Porter, age 77, Evanston Station, Cincinnati, Ohio. 2. Second Lieut.

GENERAL JOHN T. WILDER, 1888. Age 58. ORGANIZATION OP THE REGIMENTAL ASSOCIATION AND ITS REUNION SINCE THE CLOSE OF THE WAR. P6r several years after the close of the war the comrades of the Seven- teenth Regiment paid but little attention to the whereabouts of each other. They were too busy in their efforts to provide homes for themselves and families, and in cementing the broken chords incident to their soldier lives; but as they advanced in age they gradually became possessed of a desire to see each other again, and in fraternal manner talk over the interesting incidents of their soldier lives. While attending a reunion of the Wilder Brigade at Charleston, Illinois, August 22 and 23, 1888, the comrades of the Seventeenth Indiana who were In attendance held a meeting in the G. A. R. Hall at that place and effected a regimental organization, and elected as president Sergeant W. H. Fisher of Company D and Sergeant W. H. H. Benefiel of Company G secretary and treasurer. It was decided that a call be made for a reunion of the survivors of the regiment, the meeting to be held in the city of Anderson, Indiana, on October 17, 1888. In response to the call about sixty-five comrades of the regiment were present and registered at this, the first annual reunion of the regimental association. The citizens of Anderson gave our comrades of the grand old Seventeenth (as they called us) a grand reception, furnish- ing them with meals and lodging free of cost. On the evening of the 17th a grand good campfire was held in the beautiful Doxey Opera House, where a splendid program was prepared for the occasion. Speeches were made by the Mayor and by Captain Patten, Generals J. T. Wilder, Hascall and Major-General Nathan Kimball, who wsts the first colonel of the Fourteenth Indiana, and who was our guest on this occasion. The grand old General had come all the way from Ogden, Utah, to attend this reunion (as he said) of the twin brother of his old Fourteelith Indiana Regiment. Since that time the regimental reunions have been held at various times and places throughout the State; at times in connection with the Wilder's Brigade reunions, but without any systematic organization. The last, which was the twenty-first annual reunion of the regimental association, was held in the city of Anderson again, on the 16th and 17th of September, 1912, the officers at this time being: President, Lieutenant P. M. VanPelt of Company G, and Sergeant W. H. H. Benefiel of Company G, secretary and treasurer. Forty comrades of the regiment registered their names and ages at this re- union. Our grand old commander, General J. T. Wilder, being with us, as usual. PROCEEDINGS OP THE 21ST ANNUAL REUNION. Anderson, Indiana, September 16, 1912 Through the courtesy of Major May Post, G. A.

Dear Comrade Benefiel: Yours of recent date at hand notifying me of our regimental reunion to be held in the city of Anderson September 16-17, 1912. Nothing would please me more than to be with you on that occasion, but the distance and expense is too great at this time. I want you to send me all the names and postofflce addresses of Company C. I have been in this State since 1867. I am living close to some of the Ninth Texas Johnny boys that our regiment captured their flag from, and which flag Governor Mount returned to them at Dallas Pair some years ago: They are my best friends and neighbors, and a lot of them are going to the polls with me to vote for W. H. Taft. Give my best wishes to all the ola boys. God bless them! And shake General Wilder's hand for me. I am your, old friend and comrade, J. M. AMY, Company C, Seventeenth Indiana. Nashville, Nebraska, September 9, 1912. Mr. W. H. H. Beneflel, Pendleton, Indiana: Dear Comrade and Secretary — I would like awfully well to be with you at your reunion this year, but am so situated that it is hard for me to get away from my ofllce. I would like to see General Wilder again. Be sure and give him my love, for I certainly love the grand old man. It has always been a pleasure to meet him. Yours truly, J. C. CROWDBR, Company I, Seventeenth Indiana, Treasurer Sheridan County, Nebraska. MR. AND MRS. CARMINE, Castle Rock, Washington. • RICHARD S. CARMINE, 1913, Age 72, Company D, Seventeenth Indiana. Castle Rock, Washington, August 20, 1912. Mr. W. H. H. Beneflel, Pendleton, Indiana: Dear Comrade and Secretary — I thank you very much for sending me the invitation to the twenty-first annual reunion of the grand old Seven- teenth. I was with it at Cheat Mountain, Huttonville, Green Briar, Pendle- ton, Shiloh, Munfordsville, etc., and I would like,' oh, so well, to be with you at the reunion and meet what is left of the old boys, but my wife is an in- valid and it will be impossible for me to go. Give my regards to any of the old comrades that you may meet and crack a hard tack for me. I made a farm in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains and lived on it for thlrty-iive years and raised my family there, and after they were all grown up wife and I moved to Castle Rock. We have twenty-eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. All varieties of big game of plains and of mountain have fallen before my rifle, but my eyes have failed me. I had relations in Jefferson County, Indiana, by your name. Do you know anything of them? Fraternally yours, R. S. CARMINE, Company D, Seventeenth Indiana. P. O. Box 129, Castle Rock, Washington. LEWIS C. PAGE, M. D. — Age 70. Honey Grove, Texas. Fifteenth Indiana and Company K, Seventeenth Indiana, 1861-1865. Honey Grove, Texas, August 12, 1912. W. H. H. Beneflel, Pendleton, Indiana: Dear Comrade — I see by the "National Tribune" that the old Seven- teenth Indiana Mounted Infantry is to have a reunion at Anderson, Indiana, on the 16th and 17th of September. Now, comrades, I hardly know whether or not I am entitled to be called a member of the old Seventeenth, as I went into the regiment as a veteran from the Fifteenth Indiana Infantry, as did several of my comrades. We were assigned to the regiment in February, 1864, and served with it until it was mustered out in August, 1865. I went out with the Fifteenth in June, 1861, which was then in the brigade com- posed of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth Indiana. We first went into actual camp near Huttonville, in West Virginia; but when the time of re-enlistment came in 1864 there were not enough of the' Fifteenth re-enlisted to hold a regimental organization and to us the privilege was given to select the regiment to which we would like to be assigned, so we unanimously chose the Seventeenth, and never had any cause to regret our choice, but, on the contrary, we were proud of it, for truly the Seventeenth Indiana Mounted Infantry was an organization to be proud of. It made its full share in the service and history of our country and I as only a poor pri- vate in the ranks of that glorious body say in my heart, all glory and honor to every member who served in it. Our ranks are thin, our heads are hoary, but our hearts are and ever will be loyal to the country to whose service we gave over four years of the very cream of our young manhood; gave it with- out a murmur or a sigh of regret, and now, as we are about to have taps sounded for us for the last time, I know of no richer heritage we can bestow upon our posterity than the fact that we were members of J. T. Wilder' s Regiment, and, comrade, I would be with you in this reunion but for the fact that my wife is an invalid and needs my constant care. I have been down here In Texas for more than thirty-four years, and should any mem- bers of the Seventeenth Indiana remember me and come to see me, my latch- string will always hang out for you. And now may God in His mercy deal kindly with each and every one of you, is the prayer of your old comrade. L. C. PAGE, Company K, Seventeenth Indiana. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Lieutenant F. M. VanPelt was re-elected as president for the ensuing year, and W. H. H. Benefiel, of Company G, was re-elected as secretary and treasurer. Upon request of General Wilder the meeting adjourned to meet again at the same time and place with Wilder's Lightning Brigade, which time and place was to be decided upon at a meeting of the brigade association to be held at Mattoon, Illinois, on September 19 and 20, 1912.

All of the age of seventy and over enlisted when the regiment -^ras first mustered in — June 12, 1861. In General Wilder's speech at the camp Are he said, m part: 'I always come when the boys call me, because it is the boys of this regiment that did the bulk of fighting under my direction. I had no military training, but I was willing to do anything to save our country." Many times he brought cheers from the audience when he referred to some of the great victories won by the Lightning Brigade, which he com- manded. OFFICIAL INFORMATION.

(Adjutant-General's Report. W. H. H. BENEPIEL, Secretary. BATTLE OP MUNFORDVILLE, KENTUCKY— SEPTEMBER, 1862. During the summer of 1862 General J. T. Wilder, then colonel of the Seventeenth Indiana, was in Indiana on recruiting service to recruit a new Company A, that in July, 1861, had been converted into an artillery com- pany and named Wilder's Battery. Also to obtain recruits to fill up the then diminished ranks of the other companies of the regiment. During August, 1862, he had recruited over two hundred men. Of these Captain Henley of the new Company A had, besides his lieutenants, ninety-seven men. The rest of the recruits were under Lieutenants Armstrong and Ben- ton. They left Indianapolis about August 25 and arrived at Louisville the same day and camped two days near the Louisville and Nashville depot; then started towards Nashville, but railroad accommodation being ob- structed, stopped at Munfordville. Here orders were received by Colonel Wilder to remain and defend the place and save the bridge over Green River from the rebels, who, under Bragg, had crossed the Cumber- land River on the 7th of September, at Carthage, and were advancing to- wards Kentucky. Colonel Wilder having assumed command of the place^ commenced strengthening the old works and building new ones. The Seven- teenth Indiana detachment were on the right of the line, between the rail- road and the river, facing southwest. The rest of the troops, consisting of parts of the Sixty-seventh and Eighty-ninth Indiana regiments, and two companies of the Eighteenth Regulars, were posted on the right and left of the railroad in the positions best suited for defense, where they fortified. On September 12 the enemy were heard of at Glasgow, and all efforts to complete the fortifications so as to make them fit for use were made. On the evening of the 13th Lieutenant-Colonel Nixon, of Scott's (rebel) Bri- gade of cavalry, came in with a flag of truce, demanding the surrender of the place. Colonel Wilder received him cordially and treated him well, en- tertaining him for several hours (and no doubt getting some information from him) and then sending him back with the message to General Chal- ihers that he believed he would fight a little first. Next morning, Sunday, the 14th, our pickets were attacked before sunrise, and by sunrise were forced back on the main body. At about one hour after sunrise the enemy's batteries, two in number, placed on knolls that commanded our position, opened a heavy fire, and their lines of battle assaulted us at the same time. Charge after charge was made by them in quick succession and were as quickly broken. They charged thrice on the Star fort, in which Lieutenant Mason had two guns. Our other two guns, in charge of Corporal Strain, did splendid work, hurling canister through the rebel ranks, tearing them to pieces. For four hours the fight raged with fury, and then the enemy. broken, bleeding and shattered, fell back. At half-past 10 a. m. they sent in another flag of truce, again demanding the surrender of the place, to which Colonel Wilder replied that "reinforcements were entering his works." But to use his own language, he said to the bearer of the flag: "Tell Gen- eral Chalmers that I have excelled him In fighting; I can also excel him in courtesy. You can leave your flag on the field, bury your dead and remove your wounded until 2 p. m." This the rebels availed themselves of; but continued their work of removing the wounded until night, the flag remain- ing on the field. The reinforcements spoken of by Colonel Wilder were six companies of the Sixtieth Indiana, who arrived just after the termination of the fight. The rebels consisted of two brigades of infantry, with their batteries, under General Chalmers, of Mississippi, and Scott's Brigade of Cavalry, which was on the north side of the river, to prevent our escape. Our force consisted of the Sixty-eighth and Eighty-ninth Indiana, two com- panies of the Eighteenth regulars, our two hundred and twenty men, and Lieutenant Mason's Battery of four pieces — twelve hundred forty-one men in all. The rebel soldiers were told that our men were recruits (as they all were), and that they would not fight much; but in this they were mistaken. Every man proved himself worthy of the name of veteran. The enemy's loss was seven hundred and fourteen killed and wounded; ours, thirty- seven killed and wounded, in the command. We lost one killed. The enemy fell back on the 15th. On Tuesday, the 16th, we were attacked again at day- light, and picket fighting lasted all day. Polk's Corps was in the mean- time crossing Green River above us. We had been reinforced on the 15th by'the Sixtieth and Sixty-eighth Indiana Regiments, and Captain Conklin's Battery. At 5 p. m., the 16th, a fiag of truce came in from General Bragg, demanding the surrender of the place, stating that he had his entire force and could soon reduce it. A council of officers cominanding regiments was called, and terms for surrender agreed upon. On the 17th the place was surrendered, officers being allowed their side arms and clothing; field and staff officers, in addition, one horse each, and the men allowed their private property. The garrison marched out with honors, colors flying and bearing their arms. The rebel army was drawn up in line each side of the Cave City road, and our forces passed through them, until about four miles south of town, where Bragg had his headquarters. Here they were paroled. Polk's Corps did not witness the display, as they were north of the river. During Tuesday night the enemy had planted their batteries on the knolls north and south of town, to the number of sixty pieces, and, had we not surrendered, would have knocked us out of our position in twenty minutes. So they say themselves. On the 18th we were marched to the lines of our army near Cave City, and, passing around the rear, started on our march to Brandenburgh, Kentucky, marching to Bowling Green. We crossed the Ohio River at Brandenburgh, and marched via Corydon, Indiana, and New Albany to Jeffersonville, and thence by railroad to Indianapolis, Indiana, where all • were furloughed. The march through Kentucky from Bowling Green to Brandenburgh was a very severe one, the men suffering very much for food and making hard marches; but as soon as Indiana was reached the people all along their route turned out to see them and bring them food, and not only this, but followed the command in wagons, hauling the sick and tired. Such was the Murfordsville affair to those who participated, and who will never forget it. Great praise is due Colonel Wilder and every officer and man in the command for their unflinching gallantry in the fight, teach- ing the foe that a righteous cause made recruits veterans, and more than counterbalanced the superiority of numbers. In connection with the foregoing account of the battle at Murfordsville the following letter will no doubt be of interest to those who participated in that fight: Los Angeles, Cal., August 26, 1912. Mr. W. H. H. Benefiel,. Sec'y Seventeenth Ind. Regt. Association,' Pendleton, Indiana: Dear Sir and Comrade — I have just read in the National Tribune about the reunion of the Seventeenth Indiana, which is to be held in Anderson, ■Indiana, September 17, 1912, and I wish to ask: Do you know what was done with the banner of the regiment (detachment of the Seventeenth) at the surrender of the Union troops to Rebel General Bragg, at Murfordsville, Kentucky, in 1862? Well, I will tell you. A rebel officer came with it to where I was, and tore the banner, from the staff and made a little bunch of it, then set fire to it; and while the officer was trying to break the staff, his back being turned toward me, I reached and got two tassels,' with about two yards of cord, then pulled up my shirt and wound them around my body and kept them there while a prisoner. My battery was then marched out of the works and paroled. At this time I have those tassels and the cord. Just think, it has been fifty years ago since that event. I hold those tassels and cord as the most sacred relic I have. 'Would like to hear from you. Fraternally yours, DANIEL STAIR, Veteran, Battery D, First Ohio Light Artillery.

To rid our dear country of treason's dark stain. Chorus: Sing too-ral-Ial, too-ral-lal, too-ral-lal, la. We're after the rebels wherever they go. We're always right sure to play high to their low. We have made them skedaddle from many a field. For brave Wilder would die before he would yield. Chorus : Sing too-ral, etc. We went up in old Tennessee not long ago, And camped near the town of Pulaski, you know, And there we 'were welcomed by matron and maid, Who all knew the story of Wilder's Brigade. Chorus: Sing too-ral, etc. One day came the order: "Be ready, my men; We'll start back to Huntsville this morning at ten"; We came on to Mooresville the very same week, And camped on a stream which is called Piney Creek. Chorus : Sing too-ral, etc. The rebels may threaten the river to cross; But as long as Hoosier can climb on a horse The rebs from the Spencers will get up and wade, Crying, "Here come the Yankees from Wilder's Brigade." Chorus: Sing too-ral, etc. A word about Mooresville I'll have in my song. To speak of its people it won't take me long; For people true-hearted, wherever they be. In the North or the South, are the people for me. Chorus: Sing too-ral, etc. The men are kind-hearted, the ladies are fair. And are kind to our soldiers, I truly declare; They welcome us warmly wherever we meet; We honor the men and the ladies so sweet. Chorus: Sing too-ral, etc. Then hail Alabama! The time is at hand When peace will again gladden all this fair land. And we'll hear with the shouts of the brave soldier boys: "Shake hands, Alabama, with old Illinois!" Chorus: Sing too-ral, etc. All hail to thee, Mooresville, we'll keep it in mind That to our brave soldiers you've ever been kind. And we hope, when at last we go home from the wars. We may all live in peace 'neath the Stripes and. the Stars. Chorus: Sing too-ral, etc. WILDER'S BRIGADE MONUMENT, CHICKAMAUGA. MOUNTING AND ARMING THE REGIMENT. The history of the Seventeenth Indiana would not be complete without some mention of the incidents connected with the mounting and arming of the regiment with the famous Spencer repeating rifles. In order that the reader may understand some of the causes which led up to the mounting of the regiment it will be necessary to go back to a period in 1862, when the regiment and the brigade and division to which it belonged was a part of the army then in command of General Buell. At that time and in fact even from the commencement of the war, our cavalry (mounted forces) was in- ferior both as to numbers and equipment to that of the Confederates; espe- cially so as to the Union forces under command of Major-General Buell and the Confederate army under Major-General Bragg. On that account every advance movement made by our army was impeded on account of the re- peated raids in our rear by the Confederate cavalry, in order to capture our supplies, destroy our wagon trains and cut off communication, and on ac- count of the insufficiency of our cavalry forces to counteract the periodical raids of the rebel cavalry it became necessary to send a force of infantry in support of our cavalry to drive the rebel cavalry from our rear in order to save our wagon train and supplies from destruction. As the Seventeenth Indiana Regiment and the brigade and division to which it belonged was composed mostly of young men, and the officer (General Wilder) who com- manded the brigade being of an enterprising and ambitious nature, the regi- ment with the brigade was invariably called upon to support the cavalry in a chase after John Morgan, Joe Wheeler, Roddy or Forrest whenever they or either of them raided our rear. This state of affairs existed and was kept up until during the winter of 1862-1863, and until after the battle of Stone River, and while our army, then commanded by General Rosencrans, was in camp at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. General Wilder, who had been colonel of the Seventeenth Regiment, and was now brigade commander, protested to General Rosencrans, and objected to the idea of having his men continu- ally on the run in a vain attempt to catch the Confederate cavalry. But said he (so it was reported), "If you will mount my men on horses and fur- nish them with the kind of arms I want, we will chase John Morgan and Bragg'a rebel cavalry to h — 1." The author is not certain as to the exact language used by our commander, but under the circumstances he was per- fectly justifiable in emphasizing his remarks with strong words on this occa- sion. Suffice to say permission was given to mount the brigade, but the horses offered at first were a lot of broken-down, convalescent cavalry horses, and our men, supported by General Wilder, refused to accept them. General Wilder then proposed to General Rosencrans that he be permitted to capture horses from the citizens in the surrounding country, which permission was given; and from that time on periodical raids were made in search of horses in the vicinity of Murfreesboro, Lebanon, McMinnvllle, Liberty and Colum- bia, etc., until enough good horses were secured to furnish mounts for the entire brigade, for which receipts were given to the owners of the horses. The regiment and the brigade to which It belonged being fully mounted, the next important matter to be considered was the arming of the men. At first the old-fashioned Sharp carbine was offered to us, but these, like the broken-down cavalry horses, were rejected. Finally an agent representing the repeating Spencer rifles visited our army and was referred by General Rosencrans to our brigade commander and he, General Wilder, being a man of practical experience in the manufacturing business before the war, after Inspecting the gun and having them tested as to accuracy by a committee of marksmen selected from the ranks, decided that they were just the kind of arms he wanted his men to have. But for some cause not known by the author the officials of the War Department refused to pay for the guns. But General Wilder was determined his men should have the guns, if he had to pay for them himself. He wrote to his bankers at his home In Greensburg, Indiana, and asked for the loan of sufficient money to pay for the guns, offering to mortgage all his property to secure his bankers for part of the loan, but the officials of the bank in, reply refused to accept the mortgage and wrote to Wilder telling him that If he was patriotic enough to mortgage all of his property, including his home, in order to purchase guns to arm his men, that they, the bankers, surely ought to be patriotic enough to loan him the money without security, which they did. The arms were purchased by General Wilder and given to his men, who agreed to pay for "the guns the first pay-day, and in this way the men of the famous Wilder's Lightning Bri- gade, of which the Seventeenth Indiana Mounted Infantry was an Important part, became fully mounted and equipped as was no other command at that time in the service. Therefore, to our patriotic and beloved commander, General J. T. Wilder, much credit is due for the success achieved by our regiment and the brigade in combating with our former successful foes, the Confederate cavalry under General Bragg; for as the late Adjutant Doyle has said in his booklets, published shortly after the close of the war, relating to valuable services rendered by the Seventeenth Indiana Mounted Infantry, after we were mounted and equipped as above mentioned we never were defeated. We always carried everything before us, and all we ask now Is for our country to give us the credit due our actions in the important part the Seventeenth Indiana Mounted Infantry toolc in the suppression of the great Rebellion from 1861 to 1865. Note. — In addition to the above narrative it must be said that after the efficiency of the Spencer repeating rifles was fully demonstrated in the hands of the men of Wilder's Lightning Brigade at the first battle in which the bri- gade was engaged, after securing the guns, at Hoover's Gap, Tennessee, on the 24th of 'June, 1863, at which time and place the brigade, with the aid of the Eighteenth Indiana Battery, successfully defeated four times their num- ber of the enemy, the government did reimburse General Wilder, and the War Department paid for and accepted the guns. " W. H. H. B. Postscript. — Before the Spencer Rifle Company called for their pay for the guns the brigade fought and won the battle of Hoover's Gap against great odds, after which the government accepted and paid for the guns be- fore General Wilder had an opportunity to pay for them. J. T. WILDER. ADDRESS OF GENERAL JOHN T. WILDER AT THE DEDICATION OF CHICKAMATJGA PARK, SEPTEMBER 20, 1899. My Dear Old Comrades — I bid you hail and welcome. It is now a whole generation since we were gathered here — thirty-two years. We fought over these slopes, where we did our best to sustain our country and our flag. We did not then stop to count odds. We "went in" wherever duty called, regard- less of personal danger, to help settle forever the question of the division of this great country. You who have lived through the war, who have lived to see this great reunited country and meet here on this desperate battle- ground, have lived to see a spectacle no other nation and no other men have ever seen or experienced. Here, where two great armies fought and strug- gled for the supremacy for two long, bloody days, vou behold tens of thou- sands of those combatants meeting to do honor and justice to all who we-e engaged in th's great struggle. Honor to the living, justice to the dead. Here you have met in friendly intercourse many men who in that great ba'- tle you met in hottest combat; whose volleys you met with desolating fire: whose grand attack you met with rushing charge. How well do I remember your defense of the line of the Chickaroauga River on that dusty Friday before the great battle was joined, when both armies were sweeping towa^-S the goal of strife — Chattanooga. Your thin line opposed to two grand army corps, struggling to hold them back until "Thomas could come." How well you did your work and kept the Lafayette Road open and free for Thomas to throw his grand old Fourteenth Corps across the front of Bragg' s ad- vance! How anxiously we waited that long, starless night at the fork=i of the road, a half-mile east of Viniard's, repelling the enemy's attempt to seize that point, and how we felt when at 3 in the morning we heard the rumble of Thomas's march in our rear, closing in to meet the advance of Bra?g the next day. How well do I remember that bloody, desperate conflict at Viniard's a^l Saturday afternoon, when you swept the field with your repeaters; when Lilly treble-shotted his guns with canister! when we repulsed the charges that had made Sheridan, Davis and Wood stagger under their blows; when at night we thanked God that we held the ground we occupied in the morn- ing; and then that long, bitter night, when every moment cries of- pain aid anguish went up from thousands of wounded whose forms dotted that des- perate field; and then next morning, when we were withdrawn and p'aced "on the right fighting flank of the infantry line," just in rear and to the right of Glenn's house. How well you must remember that thirsty Sunday fore- noon, when we lay on that dry hill, and when at 11 we saw the grand col- umns of Longstreet cross the Lafayette Road and sweep through the flelds 'and woods toward our single line, and as heroic Sheridan was broken, wo sprang to arms and swept in columns down the hill and up the slope to Glenn's house and met the advance of Longstreet's left, first checking, then breaking their column and driving their flank back through the woods to the Lafayette Road. We now stand on the very ground where the two lines first met. Yonder is the stump of the pine where gallant Colonel Punkhouser fell when leading his splendid charge of the Ninety-eighth Illinois up the Glenn Hill. Yonder to the left is where brave Colonel A. O. Miller changed front under a rattling flank fire, and with his glorious Seventy-second Indiana drove back the force that had swept around our left flank and forced them off the hill northwardly from the Glenn house. Right here was the right of the One Hundred and Twenty-third Illinois, which, under that splendid sol- dier. Colonel James Monroe, held back the fierce attempt to cut through our right center. Just where we stand the Seventeenth Indiana, under heroic Major William D. Jones, broke the left regiments of Longs'treet's attack, capturing a number of prisoners and driving them rapidly eastward to the Lafayette Road. Just up there Captain Eli Lilly's Eighteenth Indiana Bat- tery, with long-range canister, swept the ground in our front, firing rapidly over our heads. There, on the hill near the guns, was Colonel S. D. Atkins with his brave Ninety-second Illinois, repelling the attempt to swing round our rear and capture our battery and led horses. Oh, those were glorious moments — all our men engaged, repelling all attacks from every side, greatly outnumbered, but never outfought. I shall never forget the inspiring sight of Lilly's rush with his two guns, sweeping at a gallon down the slope and up Glenn's Hill, turning loose, almost before unlimbered, forty-pound canis- ter straight into the teeth of the column that had .iust broken Lytle's line, and were in turn driven from our front by a fire no men could withstand. Now, turn from scenes like those to the present, where a great nation, with its best representatives from the combatants of both sides, freely meet and mingle on their hallowed ground, eager to commemorate the grand homage and unselfish devotion here exhibited by Americans in defense of what they believed to be right Where else on earth can such a spectacle be seen? The government has established a commission composed of one volunteer ex- Federal officer, one ex-Confederate officer, and one officer of the United States regular army, and a historian — all men of splendid character and in- tegrity, all of whom were engaged in this great battle — who have charge of the ground and improvements, and all deeply impressed with their duty to history and to the living and the dead, and to make this a just monument and record and an object-lesson of the bloodiest battle of our great war. Who of you that has survived that great conflict, who has lived through these desnerate battles, does not feel a deeper interest in his country for this just recognition of his daring and his duty to his fellow-men? Let us all more deeply resolve that our children shall be taught to forever main- tain what we preserved in our day — a great, free and united country. DEDICATION OF THE INDIANA MONUMENTS AT CHICKAMAUGA PARK, SEPTEMBER 20, 1899. The ceremony of the turning over of the Indiana monuments and mark- ers by the State to the United States occurred near the Wilder Brigade monu- ment, on Glenn Hill, upon a platform erected especially for that service and the dedication of the Wilder monument, a monument erected to the brigade of General John T. Wilder, an Indiana man, whose brigade consisted of Indi- ana and Illinois regiments and an Indiana battery, which made a glorious and effectual charge from that point on the second day of the battle after the break In the Union lines upon the exposed flank of the Confederate masses, which were pressing the broken Union troops. SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INDIANA INFANTRY (MOUNTED). This regiment was one of the four regiments that first entered the United States service from Indiana under the first call of President Lincoln for troops to serve for three years. The Seventeenth Regiment Indiana Infantry was organized at Camp Mor- ton, Indianapolis, during the month of May, 1861, and was mustered into service for three years on June 12, 1861, with Milo S. Hascall as colonel. On the first day of July the regiment was sent to Parkersburg, Virginia, thence to Maryland. In August it was assigned to the army of General Joseph J. Reynolds, and was with his brigade when attacked at Cheat Mountain, Vir- ginia, by the Confederates on September 12, 1861. It was in the battle of Greenbrier, Virginia, October 3, 1861, when General Reynolds attacked the Confederates under General Lee. In November, 1861, the regiment was sent to Louisville, Kentucky, and was assigned to Woods' Division, Hascall's Brigade, of Buell's army. In March, 1862, it reached Nashville, Tennessee, and, with Nelson's Division, marched to the Tennessee River, and reached the Shiloh battlefield April 8. Colonel Hascall was promoted to a brigadier- general of volunteers March 25, 1862, and Lieutenant-Colonel John T. Wilder was promoted to the colonelcy of the regiment and continued in that position until October 5, 1864, when he resigned on account of ill health. The regi- ment participated in the siege of Corinth, and after its evacua+ion it marched with Buell's army through Alabama, and was sent to McMinnviile, Tennes- see, where, on the 30th of August, it had an engagement with General For- rest's Confederate Cavalry, routing his forces and holdin? the field Septem- ber 3 the regiment took up the march from McMinnviile for Louisville, Ken- tucky, arriving at Louisville September 25, after marching 270 miles, and having a battle with Bragg's rear guard at MunfordviUe, Kentucky, Septem- ber 21. The regiment again marched out from Louisville October 1, 1862, and from that day until February 1, 1863, it was kept on the move through Kentucky and in Tennessee in the vicinity of Nashville, scouting, on foot, and was finally sent to Murfreesboro into camp. The numerous scoutings and forced marches of this regiment in pursuit of Morgan's raiders and Con- federate cavalry convinced Colonel Wilder that a brigade of mounted in- fantry would be an effective arm of the service, and. with his accustomed energy and perseverance, he sought, to bring about such an organization. He succeeded In securing the necessary orders for the ~i"untin9: of a brigade. The Seventeenth Indiana and the Seventy-second Indiana rpgiments were named as two of the regiments of this mounted brigade, to which Eli Lilly's Eighteenth Indiana Battery was also attached. On the 12th dav of February, 1863, the regiment was ordered to mount itself on horses to be procured while on scouting expeditions. In a month's time the regiment had fully pro- vided itself with horses and the government supplied the enuipments. From the time that this brigade was organized into "mounted" infantry until the term of service expired, this regiment was kept scouting and fighting. On May 18 the regiment and brigade was equipped with Spencer repeating rifles, thus making the brigade the best equipped organization in the service. On June 24, 1863, this regiment being in the advance of Rosecrans' army, then entering upon the campaign against Bragg in Middle Tennessee, attacked the enemy at Hoover's Gap, a strong position held bv the Confederates. This regiment alone, with their Spencer rifles, successfully repelled several charges of four Confederate regiments, and held them at bay until, when their ammunition was about exhausted, this regiment was reinforced by the other regiments of the brigade, and the enemy was driven from the field. The regiment lost at Hoover's Gap sixty-one in killed and wounded. From Hoover's Gan the regiment, with its brigade, continued skirmishing and fighting until Bragg's army had crossed to the south of the Tennessee River, and then, crossing the mountains, appeared on the banks of the river oppo- site Chattanooga, and aided in bringing about the evacuation of that city by General Bragg. After the evacuation of Chattanooga it took un the pursuit far as Tunnel Hill, Georgia, skirmishing and fighting with Bragg's rear guard. On September 11 it met Scott's Brigade of Confederate Cavalry and two pieces of artillery near Ringgold, Georgia, when a sharp fight between the two brigades took place, resulting in driving the enemy to Tunnel Hill with much loss. From this day until September 18 there was skirmishing every day. The regiment then took part in the battle of Chickamauga, Sep- tember 18, 19 and 20. On October 1, 1863, it formed a part of the force under command of General Crook, and started in pursuit of General Joseph Wheel- er's Confederate Cavalry, then in the Sequatchie Valley. On the night of October 3 it attacked and routed Crew's Confederate Brigade at Thompson's Cove, capturing a large number of arms and the flag of the Second Kentucky Cavalry. October 4, at McMinnville, it was again successfully engaged. Oc- tober 8 again, at Shelbyville, was engaged and victorious, capturing and holding three of Wheeler's cannon and a large number of small arms, and three hundred prisoners. The loss of the regiment in this fight was three ofiicers and forty-five enlisted men killed and wounded. It pursued the enemy to the crossing of the Tennessee River at Lamb's Ferry. During the battle of Missionary Ridge a portion of the regiment was sent around to the enemy's rear as far as Ringgold, Georgia, and succeeded in destroying a large amount of Confederate . supplies and munitions of war, and then re- joined our army at Chattanooga. On November 30 the regiment was sent to the relief of Burnside, then besieged at Knoxville, Tennessee, by Longstreet, charging through the enemy's line to reach Knoxville. This ended the hard fighting of the original Seventeenth Indiana Regiment. The larger portion of the regiment veteranized and returned to Indianapolis on veteran fur- lough January 22, 1864. The reorganized and remounted regiment returned to the field in time to take part in the Atlanta campaign, participating ac- tively at Pumpkin Vine, Belle Plain, Kenesaw, Marietta, Stone Mountain, Flat Rock, New Hope Church, Rome, Coosaville, Leesburgh, Goshen,, and was the first regiment to cross the Chattahoochie River. November 1, 1864, the regiment was sent back to Louisville, Kentucky, after fresh horses, and was remounted. Returning to the front in March, 1865, we find it with Wilson's Cavalry In pursuit of the enemy. In the battles with Forrest's and Roddy's Confederate Cavalry at Ebenezer Church and Selma, Alabama; then in pur- suit again until April 20, when, at Macon, Georgia, It fought Its last but vic- torious battle. The regiment returned to Indianapolis and was mustered out August 16, 1865, 700 strong. SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INDIANA MOUNTED INFANTRY IN WEST VINIARD FIELD, CHlCKAMAUGA. In the battle of Chickamauga this regiment formed a part of the First Brigade, Fourth Division, Fourteenth Corps. Colonel John T. Wilder, of this regiment, was In command of the brigade, as he had been from the formation of the brigade. The brigade consisted of the Seventeenth and Seventy-sec- ond Indiana and the Ninety-second, Ninety-eighth and One Hundred and Twenty-third Illinois regiments, and Captain Ely Lilly's Eighteenth Indiana Light Battery (six guns). The Seventeenth was under command of Major William T. Jones. On September 17, 1863, Wilder was sent from Cooper's Gap, Georgia, to the north side of Chickamauga Creek at Alexander's BrHge, three miles below Lee and Gordon's mill, to guard the crossing and prevent, an advance of Bragg's forces at that point. The Chickamauga Creek at th's point and for a considerable distance about and below is a deep and sluggish stream between precipitous banks. A portion of the regiment was placed in position to the right, west of the road crossing this bridge, along the bank of the creek, while the remainder of the regiment was in support of Li'ly's Battery at the Alexander house, north of the bridge about, a quarter of a mile, where during the engagement the battery was firing over the Union line into the enemy's lines beyond the Chickamauga. Two companies of the Seventy-second Indiana were on the left of the road in a corresponding posi- tion. The Confederate advance attacked and attempted to force a crossini? at this point about 10 a. m. (September 18), and were met with volley after volley from the lines posted along the banks of the creek and from Lillv's Battery. The fire from the Spencer rifles of Wilder's men was so terrific that, notwithstanding the enemy made frequent rushes to cross the bridge, they were as often repulsed. Our Indiana men held their position until about 4 p. m, the Confederates having effected a crossing of the creek a mile or more above, they were compelled to fall back, fighting, until they reached the east Une of the Viniard farm, where the line was held through the night. About 9 p. m. the enemy attacked Wilder's line at the last named point, but, having the entire brigade together, and having been reinforced by two regiments of Dick's Brigade, the enemy was renulsed and the lins on the east of the Viniard field remained. The Seventeenth Indiana took part in this night fight. The holding of this line by Wilder's and Dick's ree;i- ments kent the Lafayette Road open and enabled General Thomas, with the Fourteenth Corps, to get into position for the opening of the battle on Sat- urday morning, September 19. The holding of the line on the east of the Viniard field was the saving of Rosecrans' army. Just before daylight of September 19 Wilder's and Dick's commands were relieved by other troops, and Wildo'-'s Brigade crossed to the west of the Lafayette Road and formed in line of battle on the west side of the Viniard farm. On this line, on Sat- urday afternoon, the Seventeenth took an active part in the terrific fighting on that field. The regiment, with the other regiments of the brigade, was charged by the enemy and met the charge with most deadly volleys, and then followed with a counter-charge, driving the enemy back to the east of the Lafayette Road. On Sunday, at the Widow Glenn's houSe, the regi- ment was again engaged, with its brigade, "charging the enemy and com- pletely driving back their left down the Lee & Gordon's Mill road, taking two guns from the enemy, still loaded with canister, which were emptied into their fleeing' rani^s." ■ (Colonel Wilder's report.) The lines to the left having given way, Wilder's Brigade was ordered to the left, and thence to Chattanooga. The State of Indiana has erected a monument to this regiment on the west side of the Viniard farm, on the spot occupied by the regiment in Saturday's battle. The tablet on the monument bears the following legend: INDIANA'S TRIBUTE TO HER SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT MOUNTED INFANTRY. Major William T. Jones, Commanding. First Brigade (Wilder). Fourth Division (Reynolds). Fourteenth Corps (Thomas). This regiment was engaged on ITriday, September 18, at Alexander's Bridge, where it assisted in holding the enemy in check until late in the afternoon, then withdrew to the east line of the Viniard farm. Took posi- tion Saturday, September 19, on the west line of Viniard farm, by order of General Rosencrans in person, assisting in that line all day against re- peated assaults of the enemy. Engaged Sunday, the 20th, about 10 a. m., with the brigade, which charged the enemy at Widow Glenn's house and drove him back about three-fourths of a mile. At 4 p. m. retired from the field under orders. APPENDIX. When Sheridan's line at Widow Glen broke and fell back in disorder, from Longstreets attack in disorder, Wilder was ordered to fall back and protect Sheridan's rear, but Longstreet was so close to sheridan's fleeing men that Wilder could not obey the order. He, then at the head of his brigade, charged Longstreet' s forces; broke and drove them back; carried and held the Glen hill and stopped Longstreet' s persuit of Sheridan. Note— The hill refered to above is where the Wilders Brigade Monument now stands. W. H. H. Benefiel. A LITTLE "SCRAP." — Incidentally, a Word About Long's Brigade on the March to Knoxville — Editor National Tribune: I see Comrade Wm. E. Doyle claims that Wilder's Brigade went whoop- ing into Knoxville as the advance guard of Sherman's army, etc. Comrade Swartz, of the First Ohio Cavalry, claims that the cavalry did the work, etc., and in your last issue Comrade Bolton claims that it was the Seventeenth Indiana, Ninety-eighth Illinois and Eighteenth Indiana Battery of Wilder's Brigade, and the Tenth Ohio Cavalry, with detachments of the First, Third and Fourth Ohio Cavalry and the Second Kentucky Cavalry, etc. Now, it has been a little over thirty years since it happened, and I am writing this from memory altogether; but I never will forget that march. It was my understanding at the time, and I have never heard it contradicted, that the troops composing the small brigade commanded by Colonel Eli Long on the march to Knoxville were the non-veterans of the First, Third and Fourth Ohio Cavalry, and about two hundred of the best mounted men of the Ninety-eighth Illinois, of Wilder's Brigade. We had no artillery with us at all. The Eighteenth Indiana Battery was not with Wilder's Brigade after the battle of Chickamauga. The Seventeenth Indiana was up in Indiana on an excursion trip recruiting, etc. Now that I have given you the troops composing Long's Brigade at that time, I should like to say a few words about the march. After the battle of Missionary Ridge we were in camp a day or two up the river from Chatta- nooga. We started from camp and marched through Cleveland and aimed to cross the Hiawassee River above Charleston, but the river not being fordable, we had to go to Charleston and cross on the railroad bridge. There was snow on the ground and very cold for that climate. We reached the head of General Sherman's infantry in the night of December 1, I think, at Athens, and went into bivouac in the streets of the town — slept on a brick pavement in a cross street, etc. We moved early the morning of the 2d of December, with the Ohio boys in the advance. They pushed the Johnnies lively that day until near night, when they ran onto quite a heavy force with artillery near Loudon. We were dismounted and formed line of battle, but did not advance far. The rebs greeted us with a fe.w shells, but hurt no one, as I remember. We retired a short dis- tance and went into camp. Next morning the Ninety-eight Illinois took the advance on a road to the right of Loudon, crossing two rivers via Marysville to Knoxville, reach- ing there about 3 o'clock in the morning, with worn-out horses and badly done up men, as we were poorly clad, and Longstreet's men had cleared the country of about everything but old men, women, children, etc. My dates may be a little at fault, but I think my story is in the main correct. — J. K. Wallace, Company K, Ninety-eighth Illinois, Altamont, Illinois. WILDER'S MEN. — More about the Wheeler Raid "and the Trip from Chattanooga to Knoxville — ■ (By Sergeant W. H. H. Benefiel, Company G, Seventeenth Indiana.) Editor National Tribune: I desire through your kind indulgence to submit my version of the Wild- er's Brigade controversy regarding the expedition from Chattanooga to Knoxville. I have read with great interest what has been said in former issues by Comrade W. E. Doyle and by Comrade Dolton and others, and lastly by Com- rade Wallace, of the Ninety-eighth Illinois Mounted Infantry. When I read Comrade Dolton's reply to Swartz, of the First Ohio Cav- alry, I supposed he had settled the matter beyond all further controversy, as he was substantially correct in the main. But I was wonderfully sur- prised and amazed at Comrade Wallace's statement, he being one of that little band of Wilder's men who went in advance of Sherman to the relief of the besieged Knoxville. He (Wallace) claimed that no part of the Seven- teenth Indiana was in that crowd; that the Seventeenth was up in Indiana visiting their friends, etc. Although it has been over thirty years since that time, the incidents of that affair are too vividly impressed upon my mind for me to forget the fact that I, at least, was a participant, and I am almost certain that I be- longed to the Seventeenth Indiana. I will go back to the wind-up of the famous Wheeler raid. After we had driven Wheeler's forces across the Tennessee River at Lamb'is Perry, Alabama, Wilder's Brigade and a part of the cavalry came up to Paint Rock, and went into camp to recuperate and prepare for other emergencies. We had not been long in this camp when a call was made for a detachment, con- sisting of those who had horses capable of undergoing a campaign, to re- port to General Long. So, on or about November 18, 18fi3, about two hun- dred and fifty men out of the Seventeenth Indiana, and I suppose an equal number of the Ninety-eighth Illinois, accompanied by the First, Third and Tenth Ohio and Second Kentucky Cavalry, all under command of Colonel Long, broke camp at Paint Rock and took up our march to Chattanooga. As to the Eighteenth Indiana Battery going with us, I am not positive, but do not think we had any artillery with the brigade on that trip. We arrived at Chattanooga the night before the battle above the clouds, and on the day Hooker stormed Lookout Mountain we lay on a ridge north of the river, said ridge being the identical spot where the Eighteenth Indiana Battery was located August 21, 1863, when it fired the first shot ever sent into Chattanooga by a Union gun. Notwithstanding the distance from where we lay to Lookout Mountain was about four miles, we could plainly see the outlines of Hooker's gallant men as they charged up over craggy slopes till they were hidden from our view by the rain-cloud that intervened. Still, we could plainly hear the crack of the small arms, as well as the cheering of our noble bays as they would drive the Johnnies from point to point. On that same afternoon we crossed the river above Chattanooga on pontoons laid by Sherman's men the previous night. We then proceeded up the river by running the gauntlet between the rebel batteries located on the north end of Mission Ridge and the Tennessee River. We traveled on till we struck the Dalton Railroad at Tyner's Station, capturing the telegraph operator, tearing down the wire, etc. About midnight we went into camp, with orders not to unsaddle our horses, as we were then In the immediate rear of the rebel army. About 2 o'clock in the morning a rebel wagon train came driving into our lines, not knowing we were Yanks. We lay still till the wagons came in, and then destroyed the wagons, taking the teamsters and mules pris- oners. At daybreak we started in a southerly direction, and had not gone far before we got on the track of another wagon train, and after chasing it for several miles, the drivers seeing we were determined to overtake them, unhitched their teams and skipped, leaving the wagons to be plundered and burned by "we-uns." This train contained some ammunition and officers' baggage, etc. We had run this train right up to the eastern base of Mission Ridge, and from where it was captured we could plainly see the rebel flags floating on top of the ridge, and heard the flghting then going on. I presume this was about the time the old Fourteenth Corps was charging to victory. Prom this point we turned and went back northwest, and that night went into camp at Cleveland, having since we left Chattanooga captured and destroyed two wagon trains and their contents and captured several hun- dred prisoners. That night I was sent with a detail on picket. During the night and just before daybreak we (the pickets) could plainly hear the tramping of horses and the rumbling of wheels in our front. Having no doubt as to the approach of a rebel force, we so reported to Colonel Long, but it seemed as if he did not heed our warning, for at the peep of day the relsel cavalry came pell-mell into town, after driving in the pickets, before the officers and men in camp were prepared to receive their guests. The consequence was a disgraceful stampede took place, and I will here say the only stampede that any of Wilder's men was ever a party to; this all on account of the lack of diligence on the part of the officers in camp, as they had ample warning hours before of the approach of the enemy. In the stampede the captain who had charge of the prisoners and their guards took the wrong road, and our regiment being in the rear, was ordered to dis- mount and hold the rebels in check till the prisoners could be gotten on the right road. We took our position on the hill about one-half mile west of town and held it as long as was necessary, losing in this little episode two killed. When we withdrew from our position we had quite a race to reach our horses before the rebels, who were mounted, could capture them, the rebs yelling at us to halt. Well, we got out of that scrape by the skin of our teeth, but we have always since believed that had General Long and the cavalry stayed with us instead of skipping out for Chattanooga as they did, and leaving the little squad of the Seventeenth with the sack to hold, we could have cleaned out that rebel force, consisting only, as we afterward learned, of a small brigade under command of General Kelly. That same day (November 27) we marched back to Chattanooga. On November 29 we marched back to Cleveland; December 1 marched to Co- lumbus in order to cross the Hawassee River, but the river being too high to ford, we returned to Charleston and crossed on the railroad bridge. On December 2 we marched to Loudon; December 3 crossed the Little Tennessee River and marched through Marysville and on to Knoxville, hav- ing to run the gauntlet in order to get through the rebel lines. On Decem- ber 5 we crossed the Holston River at Knoxville and marched back to Marys- ville. On December 8, 9 and 10 went on a wild goose chase after Long- street's wagon train over the Smoky Mountains, North Carolina, marching through Murphy. A few miles beyond we went into camp. Here we were met by quite a number of Cherokee Indians, who said they were loyal to the Union and friendly to the Yanks. Prom this point we about-faced and marched back down the river to Charleston, and went Into camp and remained there till January 1, 1864. During our stay at Charleston we had to subsist almost entirely off the country, so in order to provide breadstuff for the troops a detail was made from the Seventeenth and Ninety-eighth, consisting of about ten men from each command, to go about five miles into the country and take charge of and run a grist mill, the mill and plantation adjacent to it the property of a man by the name of Getty, whose father was the founder of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Mr. Getty being a Union man and at that time was living in Athens, Tennessee. While at said mill the writer was detailed as forage-master to hunt up wheat and corn and have it hauled to the mill to be ground into breadstuff for the brigade. There was a stillhouse a few miles from this place, and as it was about Christmas time, we concluded to take a load of corn to said stillhouse and trade It for our Christmas supplies. The fact is, we had brought into our quarters a ten-gallon keg full of commissary spirits, and oh, what a merry Christmas our little band of Seventeenth and Ninety-eighth boys did have in that old Getty mansion! The people of the neighborhood were principally loyal to the Union, and were overjoyed in the presence of the "Yanks." Upon the solicitation of the youngsters in the surrounding country we concluded to get up a dance on Christmas eve. So cards of invitation were sent to the young ladies and gentlemen to come in and participate. In order to make the affair complete the forage-master got up a rousing big supper. We had a big fat turkey and "oodles" of chickens, honey, etc., as well as plenty of drinkables. After sUpper the dining-room was cleared up, and the dance set in in dead earnest. We had enough girls to run two sets, and we paid a darkey .f5 to play the fiddle. Well, we "danced all night till broad daylight and went home with the girls in the morning." Among the guests at the Getty man- sion on that occasion were two or three Vicksburg paroled prisoners who lived close by the mill, and who came in by special invitation to take part in the festival with their Yankee hosts. Having met with such success in this dance, we unanimously agreed to more than duplicate the affair on New Year's eve — in fact, had all the neces- sary arrangements made, when orders came from Long's headquarters, De- cember 31, 1863, for us to return to our command. I leave it to the comrades to judge of our sad disappointment in having to leave that old Getty man- sion and the neighborhood without even a chance to bid good-bye to the fair damsels with whom we had passed such a pleasant evening. On the morning of January 1, 1864, that ever-to-be-remembered cold New Year's Day, our detachment of the Seventeenth Indiana, crossed the Hawassee River in an old coal barge and took up our march by way of Chat- tanooga to Nashville, where we arrived on the 18th; here we met those of the regiment whom we had left at Paint Rock, Alabama, two months before. At Nashville we turned over our faithful horses, that had carried us on many a successful raid. The old Seventeenth had been ordered to concentrate at Nashville, to take into consideration the subject of re-enlisting for three years more, or during the remainder of the war, of which about two hundred and eighty did, and went to their Hoosier homes on veteran furlough. A peculiar feat- ure of veteranizing was the refusal of nearly all of the boys who were in the East Tennessee (Knoxville) campaign to re-enlist, while nearly all who were left at Paint Rock re-enllsted. I can only account for it on the ground that those who went on the East Tennessee campaign endured such hard- ships and suffering from cold and exposure that they concluded they had had enough of it for awhile at least. Many of them did afterwards re-enlist in other regiments and served till the close of the war. — W. H. Benefiel, Ser- geant Company G, Seventeenth Indiana Mounted Infantry, Pendleton, Indi- ana, December 25. 1894. General wilder's Speech. —The Old Commander's Talk to the Veterans of His Brigade at the Late Reunion — The reunion of Wilder's famous brigade was recently held at Prince- ton, Indiana. The valiant and beloved commander of the brigade was pres- ent. His address follows: Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen — It is gratifying to me to see so many here, but what gratifies me most is to see so many of my old comrades, men that twenty-five years ago were young and full of hope and who are now getting old and gray, men that I have seen go through all that mortal man can endure, and do it all without one word of complaint. If God's sun shines over a free, happy and prosperous country, the glory of it all is due to you. You who meet them in your daily rounds of life know little of what they are made of. If you had seen them on short rations, in the mud and in the cold, in the fiercest onslaught of the battle, in the prison pen; had seen these men go on and stand up under it all and never mutter, you could then form some opinion of what they are. Most of you were in the army, few good men who did not go in. [Applause.] I have come three hundred miles to greet these men and shake hands, and renew acquaintances. I would go to the north pole to meet these men, [applause.] and I believe if Greely had had some of them with him he could have made his trip to the north pole a success. [Applause.] Why do I say this? Because I proved and tried them. I live In Chattanooga and I can look in no direction from my residence but what I can see sections of the country that have been honored by the tread of these men. I live there and it was by their permission twenty-three years ago. Be- fore I went there to live I was at the head of this brigade and shelled the city in which I now live for three weeks. [Applause.] And these men con- ducted themselves in such a manner and their deeds were of such a charac- ter that it made my life respected. I can't go anywhere in the South and go into a hotel and register my name but what some one will come up to me and say, "Is this the General Wilder that had command of Wilder's Brigade?" I tell him yes, and he answers, "I know you, and I know your boys; they were the best men I ever saw." Prom where I live I can look to the east in the morning and see the sun risings and the first thing it looks upon is a cemetery in which lie buried 13,000 men who died that the country might live; men whose manhood made this meeting possible. Had they stayed at home and lived the lives of peace and of comfort, such meetings as this could never have occurred. The coun- try would have been torn in two, instead of the free and happy country that it now is; it would have been such that would require a standing army, and neither side would have been benefited. As it is, you can go from Mani- toba to Mexico as an American citizen, and you can go from New Brunswick to the Golden Gate over a country that is united, and the most powerful country that God's sun shines upon. All the nations of Europe cannot affect the rights and liberties of the citizens of this country. The million of men who stood before Gettysburg and Vicksburg and Richmond and the other battles of the war are now old men and getting gray, but following in their footsteps are two million more just as good as they are. While the world goes round that example will live, and no one dare trample upon the liberty that these men went out to perpetuate. I have lived at Chattanooga eighteen years. When the sun rises in the east I look out upon the national colors flying above the grave stones that mark the last resting place of 13,000 men who died to make the country free When the sun gets in the south I see the place where Hooker was above the clouds. Every day of my life there is taught me a lesson of patriotism. Your hearts are affected in the same way, and I call upon you today to pledge anew your loyalty to the government and render honor to the nations of the world. [Applause.] In the South a great era of progress has come upon us. New manufac- tures have sprung into existence. The bloody field of Cliiclcamauga is a strawberry patch now. Mission Ridge is now covered with vines, and land then worth $20 an acre is now worth $200. Chattanooga has one hundred and sixty smokestaclcs, and is a city of 27,000 people. You don't realize what progress has been made. Nashville now has 65,000 souls. It has all come about through putting practical men to do the work. It does not make any difference what a man's politics or religion may be, he will be respected if he. is worthy of it. Now, friends, I came up here to see some of my old comrades. I will go anywhere to be with them. I want to go to heaven with them some day. If any of you ever go to Chattanooga, I have got no latch-string, but just break the door down and leave it open. [Applause.] Wherever I am I will always be glad to see any and all of you. I thank you kindly for your attention. [Applause.] WILDER'S BRIGADE REUNION. — The Coming Meeting of a Noted Command — Letter from Colonel Wilder — The following letter from Colonel Wilder, in reference to the reunion of Wilder's Brigade of mounted infantry, was handed the Herald by W. H. H. Beneflel, of this county: Cloudland Hotel, Roan Mountain, Mitchell County, North Carolina, June 15, 1887. Dear Sir and Comrade — Yours of the 12th inst. received. I have just returned from New York, where I contracted for 500 solid silver medals with brigade badge on and as many more as will be needed for each member of the old brigade who will attend the reunion at Greencastle, Indiana, Septem- ber 7 and 8, 1887. Yes, I will be there with my wife and only son. Have every member of the old brigade there if possible. I want to present each one with one of these beautiful badges. I want to take by the hand and look into the eyes of the grandest body of men that -ever lived, whose valor, ability and patriotism was never excelled, and who never faltered or flinched from duty, either in camp or in battle. God bless you all, and may we have a grand, good meeting and all enjoy the two days of real soldier love feast that awaits us in Greencastle. Yours in C. C. and L., JOHN T. WILDER. A REMARKABLE INCIDENT. Edward Daily, an old ex-Confederate soldier, who had a light stroke of paralysis last Friday, and was stranded in Pendleton, recovered sufficiently today to continue his journey to Owensboro, Kentucky, where he has an old Confederate bunk mate living, and who has invited him to come and make his home with him. The G. A. R. post furnished him with money with which to make the rest of the trip, and looked after his welfare while here. Ed. Dailey was a member of the famous Ashby's Black Horse (Third Virginia) Cavalry and was in several encounters with the Seventeenth In- diana in West Virginia during the summer of 1861. Mr. Daily and Mr. W. H. H. Beneflel had quite a lengthy conversation in regard to the battles in which they fought against each other while on oppo- site sides during the Civil War. — Pendleton Times, April 7, 1912.

Having laid in qamp at Gravelly Springs, Alabama, since January 25, perfecting our discipline and getting ready for the spring campaign, which we understood was to open with a raid, we felt elated when, on March 12, we received orders to move; and when, on the morning of the 13th, we struck tents and got into the saddle again we were all pleased with the pros-j pect of having a ride into the heart of Alabama or Mississippi. We marched to Waterloo, fourteen miles, and in the night were ferried across the Ten-, nessee River by the steamboats "Swallow," "Echo" and "Westmoreland," camping on disembarking about two miles from the river. Here we lay awaiting the crossing of other troops, getting supplies and packing up and sending off all the extra baggage. The transportation was cut down. Two wagons to each brigade was the allowance. These two hauled the regimental desks. Officers were reduced to the same allowance of baggage to Louisville or Nashville. By the 21st everything was ready and on the morning of March 22 we started on the march through the heart of Alabama in search of the enemy; and on April 1 we encountered Roddy's and Forrest's com- mands, who contested our march. We fought them at Bbenezer Church and at Selma. The following is the official report of the action of the Seven- teenth Regiment in both fights: Headquarters Seventeenth Indiana Mounted Infantry, , Selma, Alabama, April 6, 1865. Captain O. F. Bank, A. A. A. G. First Brigade, Second Division, Cavalryi Corps: Sir — I have the honor to make the following report of the part taken by my regiment in the affair near Bogue's Creek, or Ebenezer Church, on April 1, 1865, and in the taking of Selma, on April 2, 1865: On the 1st the regiment was the third in the order of march of the bri- gade, which was following the retreating enemy in the direction of Selma, continually skirmishing with and driving them. The advances had pushed them easily until near Bogue's Creek (twenty-nine miles from Selma). Here they made a stand and offered a good deal of resistance to our further ad- vance. Four companies (E, G, H and I) were ordered forward by Colonel A. O. Miller, commanding First Brigade, Second Division, Cava'ry Corps, to charge the enemy. Lieutenant-Colonel F. White took command of them and moved forward, charging the enemy, who were engaging our skirmishers, overtaking Patterson's regiment and running past them, sabered a number of them. Dashing on, they struck the enemy's line of battle about one mile from where the charge commenced; charged on and cut through them, under, fierce flre, to where the artillery (four pieces), which had been firing, stood. Here Lieutenant-Colonel White finding another line of battle confronting: him and firing on him, having so few men and being so far from support, turned off the road into the woods to the left, charging on the enemy there and cutting his way out with his command, with the exception of Captain Taylor and sixteen enlisted men. The Captain had command of the advance company, G, and did not hear order to turn off the road, so charged on beyond the artillery, cutting the enemy's right and left until shot down by Rebel General Forrest. Of the sixteen enlisted men following him six were killed, five wounded and five were taken prisoners. Lieutenant-Colonel White having fallen back with his command, could not retain or bring off the captured artillery. When the enemy afterwards fell back they left one twelve-pounder .howitzer on the field — one wheel being broken by the horses rushing against it in charging. There were about one hundred of the enemy captured, but being unable to guard them, they es- caped — all but fifteen or twenty. The four companies that took part in the affair numbered about two hundred and twenty men. The loss was: Killed — One commissioned officer and seven enlisted. Wounded — Eleven enlisted. Missing — Five enlisted. The enemy's loss can not be ascertained. It ca¬ have been less than fifty killed and wounded, tar more than the number having been sabered. They got their killed and wounded oft the field, with the exception of one killed and ten wounded that fell into our hands. Sufficient credit cannot be given to the officers and men of the regiment for their gallantry, and for the promptitude with which every order was exe- cuted. To mention acts of individual bravery would be to speak of every man of the regiment engaged. Special mention, however, is due Lieutenant- Colonel F. White and the officers and men that participated in the fight on the 1st instant for their bravery and for the gallant manner in which they broke through the enemy's lines, ran over their artillery and sabered their men, and then in the face of such overwhelming numbers cut their way out. For the lists of the killed and wounded and official figures I respectfully refer you to Lieutenant-Colonel White, to whom I turned over the regiment. Very respectfully your obedient servant, J. G. Vail, Colonel Seventeenth Indiana Volunteers. Headquarters Seventeenth Indiana Volunteers, April 6, 1865. Captain O. F. Bane, A. A. A. G. First Brigade, Second Division, Cavalry Corps: Sir — On the 2d instant the command of the regiment having been turned over to me by Colonel J. G. Vail, shortly after passing through the enemy's works, and the enemy being in force in our front, behind the railroad em- bankment and interior line of works and forts, I moved forward with the regiment, charged and drove the enemy from their position and followed them into town so closely that they had no time to rally. On assuming command the regiment, almost entirely deployed as skirmishers, held all the ground between the Summerfield Road on the left and the enemy's works on the right, and in advancing into town we moved parallel with the western line of defences of the town and inside of them, driving the enemy from all along the line and taking all the forts from No. 18 to the river on the west side of town. We captured four (4) pieces of artillery in the works; also their caissons. We took during the fight about three hundred prisoners, including most of thfe First Mississippi Regiment and a large portion of the Tenth Mississippi Regiment, with the colonel, lieutenant-colonel, miajor and adjutant of the former regiment. Colonel White of the Eighth Mississippi and a number of officers of inferior rank. The prisoners were sent to the rear and were turned over to and picked up by various officers having charge of prisoners; We also captured the ordnance wagons of Armstrong's Bri- gade (two in number), destroyed the ammunition and retained the wagons. We took into action seventeen commissioned officers and four hundred and four enlisted men. Our loss was as follows: —Killed— Commissioned officers Enlisted men 12 — Total killed 12 — ^Wounded — Commissioned officers 7 Enlisted men 73 — Total wounded 80 Aggregate killed and wounded 92 To all the officers and men engaged I have to return my heartfelt thanks for their unflinching gallantry. FRANK WHITE, Lieutenant-Colonel Seventeenth Indiana Volunteers. JOHN H. WAGNER, 1913— AGE 71. Enlisted 18C1— Captain 1865. Elwood, Indiana, April 21, 1913. Mr. W. H. H. Beneflel, Secretary Seventeenth Indiana, Pendleton, Indiana: My Dear Comrade — I want to tell you something about the Plantersville charge. You remember the boys of Company G (Seventeenth) said at differ- ent times that if we got an opportunity we would show the cavalry how to make a saber charge. Well, we surely made it good at Ebenezer Church (Plantersville, Alabama). Captain James D. Taylor, of our company, G, led; the men kept closed up. We charged the Confederates three different times at different places along their lines. Charged through a line of infantry, sabering them on all sides. There were five or six men of Company I with us in the advance. There were about forty-five of G in the charge. I will give you the list of the killed and wounded as taken from the company rec- ords now in my possession. Twenty men out of our ranks in less than one hour. This was on the 1st day of April, 1865. At Selma, Alabama, April 2, we chp.rged on foot the rebels, who were behind heavy works. Our Com- pany G was amongst the first over the works. On the 20th of April Com- pany G was sent to the front to secure and save some bridges the Confeder- ates were guarding, and we done it. Charged their cavalry through their breastworks, and found the enemy that occupied the works outnumbered us five to one. We ordered them to surrender, and they did. That was our last charge, and I was glad when it was over. Fraternally, your comrade and old bunk mate, JOHN H. WAGNER, Late Captain Company G, Seventeenth Indiana Mounted Infantry. Note. — The above narrative contributed by Captain Wagner is gladly given here, especially on account that justice which was due him and the men under his command has never been heretofore given. Captain Wagner succeeded Captain Taylor in command of Company G after the death of Captain Taylor in a hand-to-hand encounter with General Forrest, and no braver soldier or officer ever carried a gun or wielded a caber, and great injustice was done him in failing to mention his name in the offi- cial reports in connection with the valuable services rendered by him and the men under his command in the wonderfully successful and swift cam- paigns during the closing scenes of the great Civil War. The names of the killed and wounded referred to by Captain Wagner will be found in the adju- tant-general's report in front part of this book. W. H. H. BENEPIEL. THE SEVENTEENTH INDIANA MOUNTED INFANTRY AT THE BATTLE OP EBENEZER CHURCH. Colonel John McElroy in his "Wilson Campaign," as published in the National Tribune, gives the following account of the battle of Bbenezer Church, Alabama, on April 1, 1865: — The Charge of the Seventeenth Indiana — One of the most notable regiments of the West was now completing a career of unusual brilliancy. The Seventeenth Indiana, commanded by Colo- nel Wilder, had distinguished itself in the first campaign in West Virginia, and it was in its front that the wonderful campaign planned by Robert E. Lee came to naught. Lee himself was turned back and his chief of staff, Colonel John A. Washington, was slain. Next it formed part of Wilder'a celebrated Lightning Brigade of Mounted Infantry, which gave such a great account of itself in the Tullahoma and Chickamauga campaigns. The Seven- teenth Indiana had the good fortune to be always well commanded by first- class fighting men, and its present colonel was Jacob G. Vail, with Prank White as lieutenant-colonel. Companies C, G. H and I were armed with sabers, and usually held in reserve until the other companies broke down the enemy's resistance \i ith the fire of their seven-shooters, when the saber companies would gallop in and complete the victory. The Seventeenth Indiana came upon the field just as the battle of Ebe- nezer Church was ended and the logical moment for a saber charge, which was led by Lieutenant-Colonel White. He rode over the enemy in his imme- diate front, sabering a number of men, then struck the line of battle, through which he cut, and reached the Confederate artillery. Suddenly Colonel White saw himself confronted by another line of battle, which opened fire upon him. His command had become so reduced and scattered in the charge that he turned off the road from the heavy line in front to cut a way through the weaker line in the woods. His audacity brought him safety, with all his men rallying upon their colors except Captain Taylor of Company G, Seven- teenth Indiana, and sixteen enlisted men, who did not hear the order. Tay- lor charged on past the artillery, slashing at the enemy until he and his men were all shot out of their saddles. Of the sixteen enlisted men following Captain Taylor six were killed, five wounded and five captured. Lieutenant- Colonel White captured about one hundred prisoners, but had to let go of all but some sixteen or twenty. He and his men felt sure that they had killed and wounded not less than fifty, for it was known that that many had been severely sabered. — Captain Taylor Sabers Forrest — Captain Taylor had picked out an important officer in his front, who proved to be Forrest, and who made an ineffective defense to the Captain's skillful wielding of his saber. Captain Taylor struck Forrest twice, giving him very severe wounds. In his excitement Forrest sank the rowels of his spurs deep into the sides of his horse, which made a frantic leap, carrying his master out of the reach of the Yankee saber. Forrest then drew his re- volver iind shot Taylor dead. It seems the young captain came very near putting an end to his antagonist, and General Wilson, in his book, "Unier the Old Flag," gives a very interesting account of this daring charge: "It was now about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and, discovering at a glance the real situation. Long strengthened the leading battalion of the Seventy- second Indiana Mounted Infantry with the rest of that splendid regiment dismounted. Armed with Spencer magazine rifles, they deployed in open order on the left side of the road, and when the word reached them they rushed to the attack, pumping out a sheet of lead with each discharge which nothing could resist. They easily broke through and drove back the enemy's line, shortly after which Long finished the fighting on that part of the field by throwing Lieutenant-Colonel Frank White, with the saber battalion of the Seventeenth Indiana Mounted Infantry, headlong into the midst of the retreating Confederates. White himself was a berserker of the Norseman breed, broad-shouldered, deep-chested, long-limbed, over six feet tall and 'bearded like a pard.' He would have been a full match for Forrest himself had they met, but that fate was reserved for a younger and slighter man^ Captain Taylor, a mere stripling, but a braver one never rode to his death. "This brilliant charge was followed by a running fight, in which both sides and every man displayed the highest valor. White, in the flower of his strength, was more than once completely surrounded by the enemy. But his life seemed to be charmed, and he fought his way out with but little in- jury. Taylor, younger and more impulsive, was not so fortunate. Riding through the melee, he singled out Forrest, whom they all knew, and assailed him so fiercely with a shower of saber strokes aimed at his head and shoul- ders that for a moment it looked as though he would kill or capture the flee- ing chieftain. So closely did the boy captain follow him and so nearly were their horses matched in strength and speed, it was several moments before Forrest could open space enough to allow him to turn and shoot his pursuer from the saddle. Speaking of it a few days later, under a flag of truce, with his arm still in a sling, he said, reflectively: 'If that boy had known enough to give me the point of his saber instead of its edge, I should not have been here to tell you about it.' " Forrest's command was completely demoralized, and fled in confusion, throwing away their arms and other impediments. Three pieces of artillery, about three hundred prisoners, a valuable lot of provisions and an open road to Selma were the immediate fruits of the victory. The entire command bivouacked at Plantersville, having marched nineteen miles that day and fought a decisive battle. They were then less than twenty miles from Selma. Note. — Captain James D. Taylor, Company G. (See above flrst column.) Wabash, Indiana, June 2, 1913. Mr. W. H. H. Benefiel, Pendleton, Indiana: Dear Sir — Seeing your notice in the National Tribune that you wanted items that would be of interest to print in the history of the Seventeenth Indiana that you are preparing, I trust you will not consider it out of place for me to contribute the following: Charles Harvy, of Company F, Seventeenth Indiana, and I became ac- quainted while he was at home on veteran furlough during the winter of 1863 and '64, and we were engaged to be married, but deferred until the war was over, but he was killed at Selma, Alabama, April 2, 1865. A rebel bullet robbed me of my intended husband. I have in my possession two of his pic- tures on cards; one is standing just as he was while in battle, one while sitting, with a light blue suit on. Now, if you should think it would aid you any way in the history of the Seventeenth I will send his pictures to you. I have his picture in a locket, too. Charley was a member of Company F. His mother lived near neighbor to us, and she sent four sons out to help put down the rebellion. Two were left on Southern soil. The captain sent me the account of Charley's death. It was very sad news to me. I mourned his death for seven years after the war. I married an Ohio soldier. We have one son only. He was a soldier, too, in the Span- Ish-American War. We are living very happily together in our home. My husband is good and kind to me, but the elapse of forty-eight years don't obliterate the memory of that one who fell on the field of battle in defense of his country and Old Glory. And now, when I think of the happy time when Charley came home on veteran furlough — he was so full of life and merriment. When he would come over to my father's, where there were four girls of us and three boys, brothers and sisters of mine, all was gay and full of life, not thinking of what was before us, but the lapse of time told what the end would be. The last letter I received from him he said his time of service would be out and he would be home in forty days. But a rebel bullet pierced his neck. The company clerk sent me some blue lily flowers where he fell. That was the heart sorrow for me and his old widowed mother; he was then her support, or the one she depended upon. She was a noble woman, and out of five sons she gave four to save our country and Old Glory. After the war Charley's mother went to Missouri with her son Albert to join Thomas, her other son, to live with him. She died several years ago. If I had been in the Harvy family I would have written items of Interest concerning their experience while in the army. I heard that William Harvy is in the Marion Soldiers' Home. He was in the Eighth Indiana and was In Solsbury prison six months. George died in a hospital in Missouri. I thank you very much for the little book you sent me containing the names of the survivors of the Seventeenth Indiana Regiment. Sincerely yours, MRS. SARAH J. BAXTER. Note. — By referring to the adjutant-general's report.

Tropico, California, May 20, 1913. W. H. H. Benefiel, Pendleton, Indiana: Dear Comrade — It is too late to give you a detailed account of what you a;sk. You have the affair of the killing of Colonel John A. Washington in West Virginia. On September 4, 1864, I was sent with Companies H and B to Stockbridge, Georgia; captured a rebel mail and a number of prisoners. On October 28, 1864, had command of Companies G and F in advance of the regiment, with orders to go to Goshen. After crossing Mill Creek was or- dered by Colonel Vail to return, as the regiment was attacked by a superior force of rebels. As we approached the bridge we found the enemy in pos- session. I dismounted the men and drove the enemy away, sent my led horses through a cornfield, followed with the men and rejoined the regiment with the loss of one man. In the meantime Colonel Vail had reported to General Wilson that myself and the two companies were captured. On the 13th of October, 1864, after the charge on the rebels strongly posted on Noses Creek, I was ordered by Colonel A. O. Miller, commanding the brigade, to take the two leading companies, H and I, of the Seventeenth and follow a bunch of rebels that were seen to go in the woods. On reaching the road they were on we captured the flag of the Eighth Texas, or Terry's Texas Rangers. Now, Wilson's raid from Gravelly Springs, Alabama, in 1865 to Macon, Georgia, on the first day of April, 1865, at Ebenezer Church, where General Forrest made his stand. Companies B, G, H and I made that famous saber charge on Forrest's whole force, breaking through three lines of dismounted men, when Captain Taylor was killed. Next day at Selma Wilder's Brigade charged the forts and broke through their lines. I went in with the left wing, which crossed the works first. On the 20th day of April, 1865, I was put in command of the four saber companies, E, G, H and I, with orders to go to Macon if possible, forty-five miles away. We met with but little resistance the first twenty miles; from that on we had to charge rail barricades at every turn in the road. At Mimm's Mill we met them in heavy force behind a rail fence, and they had set the bridge on fire. Captain McDowell, Walter Collins and myself crossed the bridge together. Collins was struck with a ball on his belt buckle, which saved his life. • The fire was put out by carrying water in our hats, the planks replaced and the command crossed, and it was a race from there to Macon, where we found the breast- works fully manned. Myself, with the advance, waited until Colonel White came up with the balance of the regiment, when we rode on into the town, and received the surrender of all the troops there. Next day I was put in command of the regiment and remained in command until we started home to be mustered out. While here some of my men came to me for permission to go to the cemetery to unearth a battery of four British loaders, said to be buried there. I gave the permit, and in a short time the guns were brought to my headquarters. J. J. WEILBR, Major Seventeenth Indiana Volunteers. WHILE IN CAMP ELKWATER, WEST VIRGINIA. On September 13, 1861, Company E, Seventeenth Indiana, was ordered to go to the outposts to support the force there on duty, as the enemy, under General R. B. Lee, were reconnoitering our camp and preparing to attack us with their entire force, reported by them at 20,000 men. Soon after arriving there it was reported that the rebels were moving a force to our right and rear. Captain K. W. Stough, of our company (B), was ordered to take his company and go up the valley toward Brady's Gate about a mile and see If the report was true. I being a sergeant at the time, he gave me ten men, with orders to go in advance up on the side of the mountain, and he would follow in the road in supporting distance with the balance of the company. When we had advanced about a mile we met the rebels out on a scout, three of them riding in advance, and when opposite where we were they turned square to the right, when W. L. Birney, Wm. Johnson and myself fired on them, killing one, who proved to be Colonel John A. Washington, topographi- cal engineer on General Lee's staff. By the death of Washington it is sup- posed we were saved a heavy battle. Washington had on his person two revolvers, a large knife, field glass, compass, gold watch, $150 in money, a map of all our works, with number of troops, and the plan of General Lee's advance, number of his troops, etc. The articles captured were reported by General Reynolds to the War Department. In a few days orders were re- ceived complimenting me for the service rendered, and to send the navy re- volver to the Secretary of War and to give the balance of the articles to me. The money and watch were sent with his body to his friends. His body was taken in an ambulance, under flag of truce, and delivered to the rebels, my- self driving the ambulance. Colonel Hascall and Adjutant Kerstetter going in advance with the flag. This Is as near as I can recollect the affair. J. J. WEILBR. War Department, October 22, 1861. Brigadier-General J. J. Reynolds, Camp Elkwater, Virginia: Sir — Through the hands of Captain H. Jones Brooks I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of one of the army revolvers found on the person , of Colonel John A. Washington. I shall always prize it as a memorable relic of the present glorious struggle for freedom and the Union. To the brave Sergeant John J. Weiler, of the Seventeenth Indiana Regi- ment, who enjoys the honor of having made this notorious rebel leader bite the dust, you will, in the name of the War Department, present the other revolver and articles found upon the traitor's person and retained in your care. I have the honor to be Very respectfully, (Signed SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War. National Military Home, Marion, Indiana, June 2, 1913. Comrade W. H. H. Beneflel, Pendleton, Indiana: As requested by you I will contribute the following as being a part of the interesting (heretofore unwritten) history, ol the Seventeenth Indiana and of Wilder's Brigade. Fraternally yours, WM. M. WATKINS. WILLIAM M. WATKINS DESCRIBES CONFLICT OP WHICH SMALL MENTION IS MADE IN HISTORY. The following thoroughly interesting account of one of the battles of the Civil War which is not widely famed, but which was of more importance to those engaged than greater battles in which they took no part, was written for the Chronicle by William M. Watkins, of Company G, Seventeenth In- diana : This 1st day of April is the forty-sixth anniversary of the battle near Plantersville, Alabama, sometimes referred to as the battle of Bbenezer Church. Of all the war histories we have read we have seen but four lines making mention of this, which, to those engaged, was a sanguinary engage- ment. At the time of this brush with the enemy the eyes of the world were turned toward Richmond and also watching to see Sherman emerge from the swamps of Carolina. On this date the First Brigade of the Second Division of Wilson's Cavalry Corps was in the front, the Seventeenth Indiana Mounted Infantry in the van. The regiment was in command of Colonel J. G. Vail, of Princeton, Indiana. The brigade was in command of General A. O. Mil- ler, of Lebanon, Indiana, and the division was commanded by General Eli Long, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Early in the day skirmishing commenced between our advance and the enemy under General Forrest, which continued with more or less briskness until in the afternoon, when the enemy made a more determined stand. In order to encourage Forrest in his retreat Companies G, 0, H and E of the Seventeenth Indiana were ordered forward, and forward it was. These four companies were equipped with sabers in addition to their Spencer carbines. Captain James D. M. Taylor, of Anderson, Indiana, commanding Company G, was at the head of the charging battalion. The enemy made a charge on our flank, but to no avail. On went the brave captain and his men, charging through the lines of the enemy, seemingly regardless of the roar of artillery and musketry. With ever and rapid thinning of ranks, on went this des- perate charge until General Forrest and his aides were reached near by their artillery, which was doing its deadly work in our ranks. Here our brave captain was ordered to surrender. Instead he made a dash at Forrest, wound- ing the rebel general in the face and hand. At this instant one of Forrest's aids shot and killed the captain. This brave though perhaps reckless act was witnessed by First Lieutenant Wagner and others who survived the con- flict. Lieutenant Wagner and the remnant of the company, by a slight detour, cut their way back to the starting point. When Wagner emerged from the conflict he had with him as a company Guidon Bearer Corporal Logan and four men, not a corporal's guard of the company. By the time half of this conflict was enacted the remaining six comnanies of the regiment were dismounted and with fixed bayonets, were charging over the ground just traversed by the four companies; also the Fourth Iowa Cavalry of the same division charged down a converging road, and the enemy was soon in full retreat to*ard Selma. In this charge Company G lost seven killed and wounded and five were taken prisoners. A number of the company, by reason of their horses being killed or otherwise being dismounted or detached from the company, made their escape from the enemy and were soon called by the gallant Lieutenant Wagner and were ready to follow his lead. Company I in this charge lost two killed and two wounded. Company H had one man wounded. In killed, wounded and prisoners it was reported at the time that the enemy lost more than three hundred, near one hundred- of this number being killed or mortally wounded. The enemy in their haste to get away left with US three pieces of their artillery. From this time until the close of the war Company G was commanded by First Lieutenant J. H. Wagner, now living In Blwood. He was promoted to the captaincy of the company before coming home. The following Is another interesting recollection of the Civil War, writ- ten by William M. Watkins of Barrack 12, of the Soldiers' Home, describing the capture by the Union forces of the Confederate arsenals and foundries for the manufacture of implements of war at Selma, Alabama: Selma, Alabama, during the Civil War, was perhaps the most important manufacturing place in the South where war material was manufactured. The city Is located in a bend of the Alabama River, about fifty miles west of Montgomery. On the morning of April 2, 1865, General Wilson, with his cavalry corps, was some forty miles north of Selma. This army of three divisions moved at daybreak, and late in the afternoon came in view of a strongly fortified place, with some 7,000 men inside the fortifications for Its defense. General Wilson, taking General A. O. Miller to one side, said, "Without the capture of Selma this expedition is simply an unsuccessful raid; if we capture the place it will be one of the most brilliant achievements in his- tory." Continuing, he said, "I have been told that your men have carried as formidable works as these. Can your men go over them?" To this General Miller replied, "My men have never failed." The command was dismounted and hasty preparations executed for the charge. The Second division, with the First Brigade, was on the extreme right. The line of battle was formed in a ravine some three hundred yards distant from their outer and main line of works. At the command, "Forward," on went this seemingly irresistible body of men, never halting, never faltering, until the main fortifications were car- ried and the enemy, either in retreat or captured. From some cause one division of the attacking force failed to close up on the extreme left to the river above the city. This enabled General Forrest and staff, with a large portion of his army, to escape. As it was, the Union forces captured more than three thousand prisoners. Before leaving the place the arsenals and foundries were completely destroyed. These arsenals and foundries covered many acres of ground and contained many pieces of heavy artillery, small arms and large stores of munitions of war. The prisoners captured, except- ing officers, were paroled. The Seventeenth Indiana In this engagement lost twelve men killed and eighty-one wounded. The charge was over open ground, our officers were all the time In front of the charging line. Well we remember that at the point where we struck the fortifications the very first man to reach the top of the works was Captain Wagner, who, with revolver waving over his head, quietly said, "Come on, boys." We were all boys in those days. After the battle of Selma we remained in the city six or seven days. The arsenals and all the public buildings were destroyed by blowing th6m up. The command then crossed the Alabama River on pontoons, the rebs all the while floating logs and boats down from somewhere above In an ■■sffort to destroy the bridge. The following day word was circulated through camp that Richmond had fallen. That day's march brought our regiment within three miles of Mont- gomery, the capital of Alabama. After leaving Montgomery we marched day and night toward Columbus, Georgia, on the Chattahoochie River. The bridge across this river had been turpentined by the enemy ready to be burned, but the Iowa boys pressed the rebs so close they had no time to de- stroy the bridge. The next river of consequence was the Flint. We crossed It during the night over the railroad bridge. Our horses walked the planks In the center and the men the cross-ties, leading the horses. During these three days we marched eighty-nine miles, marching much of the time nearly all night through rain and mud. On the night of April 19 we had a fair night's rest, but were up and ready for the move toward Macon, Georgia. On this memorable day the Seventeenth Indiana was in the lead of the division. Marching left in front, Lieutenant J. H. Wagner with about half of his company (G) took the ad- vance, the remainder of the company close up, and the regiment not far be- hind. The regiment had not advanced many miles until the advance was impeded by the enemy on nearly every turn in the road, and there were many turns. On each occasion Lieutenant Wagner with his squad would execute a flank movement and the horses would either jump the fences or if too high the fence would be torn down; then as soon as we would get where our firing would be effective the rebs would retreat with their horses on the run. Along in the afternoon we approached Tubosoffkee Creek, spanned by a wooden bridge. The enemy set fire to the bridge and opened a brisk fire on us from the opposite side. Again our lieutenant executed a flank movement to a few rods below the bridge and the horses plunged into the creek from a steep bank and swam across. As we came up on the south side the enemy fled, and under the direction of Lieutenant Wagner the flre was extinguished, the men using their hats and nose-bags for carrying the water, also wet blankets. In the chase we captured a number of the enemy and horses. Again forward, and when about two miles from the creek the advance was met by a flag of truce carried hy General Howell Cobb, General Robin- son and one other Confederate oflicer, whose name I have forgotten. Their spokesman. General Robinson, told us of the armistice between Sherman and Johnston. After considerable parleying the men with the flag of truce were given five minutes to get out of the way. At the expiration of the time our lieutenant again gave the command "Forward," and soon "Trot," and then "Gallop" (double quick), now about seven or eight miles from Macon. We had gone but a short distance when >we overtook the flag of truce. They got out of the way into the edge of the timber. On charged the advance, the en- tire company closed up and the regiment in supporting distance. At the outskirts of the city we came upon a fort with guns trained to command the approach. Lieutenant Wagner ordered them to surrender. Their spokesman Inquired how many there were of us. To this Wagner re- plied and said there were two divisions of our forces then in their rear, which, of course, was Intended to deceive them. Our capture included one major-general, tour brigadier generals and three thousand men. The regi- ment that night went into camp at the court house, except Company G, which went into camp near the forts, where we rounded up the prisoners and guarded them that night. This capture included In addition to the officers and men two hundred horses, one battery of four guns, five stands of colors. The regiment on this raid captured altogether sixty pieces of heavy and field artillery. It was at sunset when the forts were taken. Guard duty that night was without relief, yet the boys were cheerful, notwithstanding their hard day's work. They knew the war was at an end. After going into camp at Macon the Seventeenth Indiana was sent to Andersonville prison to bring away the Union soldiers there imprisoned. The Confederate officers and prisoners taken this day were not all taken by Company G of the Seventeenth, but included those taken by the regiment. This was certainly the last battle of the great Civil War to save the Union, at least east of the Mississippi. There was some skirmishing after- wards down In Texas, but without official recognition. Fraternally, your comrade, WM. M. WATKINS, Company G, Seventeenth Indiana. PARTING OF BROTHERS IN ARMS. The following is taken from a sketch of the history of the Seventy-second Indiana Mounted Infantry, Macon, Georgia: "Tuesday, May 23, 1865. This morning at 7 a. m. we started for home. Our command (all that are going along) consists of the Fourth Michigan, the Chicago Board of Trade Battery, the Ninety-eighth and One Hundred and Twenty-third Illinois and Seventy-second Indiana. We left the Seventeenth Indiana behind. We had served two years and a half with the hoys of the Seventeenth and parted with them with regrets. It is surprising how com- mon danger will drive away jealousy and grudges. When the Seventeenth was put into our brigade with J. T. Wilder as the ranking colonel, it was very natural that every member of the Seventy-second should feel that a wrong had been done our own colonel (A. O. Miller), but in time all this jeal- ousy passed away, and we venture the assertion that no four regiments in the army ever passed over two and a half years of service together with such genuine brotherly love and kindness as characterized the four regiments of our brigade. And this morning when we started for home the whole regi- ment (Seventeenth), with our brigade band, escorted us through the city and at the outskirts bid us an affectionate farewell. We marched through the principal streets of the city headed by the Second Brigade Band, playing "Home, Sweet Home," and with the colors and battle flags flying. And when we reached the outskirts of the city the Seventeenth Indiana formed on the left of the road with its band at its head, and as each of the other regiments came abreast of the Seventeenth it presented arms and its band played, "Who Will Care for Mother Now"? Each company of us in turn, as we came opposite gave the Seventeenth three rousing cheers and an affectionate good- bye. And so we parted. It was the parting of brothers in arms." GENERAL J. T.

The history of the Civil War to preserve the Union (of which the Seven- teenth Indiana Regiment of Volunteers took a conspicuous part) is of such magnitude that all can hardly be told. In that great soldiers' paper, "The National Tribune," the "Century Magazine" and other periodicals we can yet see and read articles written by able pens, even from the private in the rear ranks to the major-generals, from both sides, Union and Confederate, relating most thrilling events of that great conflict which heretofore has not reached the public eye, and yet the elapse of forty-eight years have come and gone since its close. Think of it, my comrades and friends. It seems like a dream to me. We can scarcely realize the fact that children have been born and have be- come fathers and mothers and even grandfathers and grandmothers, and great-grandfathers and mothers. And we not only have with us today sons and daughters of veterans, but grandsons and great-grandsons and daugh- ters of veterans. Three generations have come upon the stage since we were Uncle Sam's boys. I can scarcely realize the fact that it has been flfty-two years ago last April 18 when but a youth your humble servant left dear parents, friends and school rooms in response to President Lincoln's first call for volunteer soldiers to put down the Rebellion. I only mention my own case as a com- parison of tens of thousands of others who in answering to that call sacri- ficed their chances in early life to attain an education and training to enable them to compete with the enterprising world Referring to the muster rolls of our regiment, I find the names of over two thousand officers and men who from start to finish enlisted in the Seven- teenth Indiana Regiment during the Civil War. How many of that grand old command are in existence today on this earth, we can only wonder and reflect. It has been the earnest desire of the author of this book to procure, if possible, the names, ages and postoffice addresses of every living comrade of the regiment, in order that a record of their existence may be kept so long as a survivor of that grand old command is living. At this time we have enrolled the names, ages and postoffice addresses of only two hundred and eleven of our comrades of the Seventeenth. There are no doubt others somewhere in existence; if so, their names should be added to the honored roll. Sincerely and fraternally, your comrade, W. H. H.
