PREFACE. 
 
 FORTY-TWO YEARS had passed since the close of the Civil War. 
 and yet no history had been written of the splendid services rendered 
 to the government by the soldiers of the Twent) seventh, Thirtj 
 ninth, Forty-third and Sixty-third Regiments of Ohio Infantry, composing 
 whal was known officially and designated in the field as Fuller's Ohio Bri- 
 gade. This Brigade never lost a flag, but after four years of war, each one 
 \\a-~ broughl back to < Ihio with every star upon its folds shining more glor- 
 iously bright, thereby reflecting the highest honor on the stair of < Ihio. 
 
 During the war I had kepi a memorandum of events, jotted down as 
 they occurred under my observation. My comrades urged me to puhlish it, 
 and this l finally consented to do. Ai the annual reunion of the surviving 
 members of the Brigade, held in Columbus, < ihio, on September 4th, 1907, 
 a resolution was unanimously passed appointing me Historian and authoriz 
 ing me to compile and publish the military history of Fuller's < Ihio Brigade, 
 and t<> select assistants for the work. Their names were announced at the 
 
 evening meeting as follows: 
 
 From i mi: Twenty-seventh Ohio: Captain ( )scar Sheppanl. ]•'.. < '. 
 Fuller (sun of General Fuller and honorary member of the Brigade), Cap- 
 tain J. A. Evans, Captain Jonathan Reese, Corporal Philip l\. Harpel, 
 Captain J. S. Stuckey, Captain C. C. < hadwick, Charles I. Adkins, Firsl 
 Sergeanl E. S. Moorehead and II. C. Evans. 
 
 From the Thirty-ninth : Captain \\ . II. II. Minturn, Captain 
 Ethan O. Hurd, Captain Andrew R. Robison, I). T. Stathem, R. I). Wall, 
 Sergeanl J. II. Lapham, W. II. Garrett, John F. Marian. Charles i . 
 1 !ai 1 1 iw s, and Frank Babb. 
 
 From n-iE Forty-third Ohio: James \\ . Conger, David Auld, 
 Colonel I. II. Rhoades, Captain E. L. Lybarger, George II. Wise. James 
 E. Graham, I). P. Host, Captain M. M. Murphy, Lieutenant Peter /inn, 
 John McClay. 
 
 From the Sixty-third: Colonel Oscar I.. Jackson, Firsl Sergeanl 
 Simon Jarvis, Joel A. Jarvis, Captain Reuben S. Mason, George B. Bartlett, 
 Angus McDonald. II. Beckett, Joseph Bell, D. E. Heisey and J. W. Savely, 
 
1 entered upon this task with the sincere desire of doing justice to 
 every officer and soldier who helped maintain our country's honor, and 
 whose achievements made the Brigade famous. All deserve praise, but all 
 that was accomplished by them could not be fully recorded in this volume, 
 for the subject is too vast. No attempt at literary style has been made in 
 the following pages the desire is simply to preserve the military history of 
 the Brigade. The labor necessary to prepare a work of this kind, takes 
 years to accomplish and is much more difficult than would be supposed 
 from an examination of its results. II"\\ faithfully and well it has been 
 done can only be understood by those who are familiar with this son of 
 work. 
 
 fo the survivors who have manifested their love of country, and to 
 the rising generation who may yet learn that a land and a- government -nch 
 as ours is worth fighting for and dying for, if need he. I trust a perusal of 
 these pages will prove profitable and interesting. 
 
 Major Charles H. Smith, Historian. 
 
 Foot Note. — All the material of the 1 k has been collected from 
 
 official records and from my memorandum, and has been verified bj mem- 
 bet 3 of the Brigade.

 trations, for his critical supervision of the engravings, and for his contri- 
 bution of their cost. To him and to comrade Conger, we are further in- 
 debted for encouraging words of advice and for time given to the detail 
 of the work. 
 
 The above-named have aided the Historian in making it possible to 
 save from oblivion the unsurpassed military record of Fuller's Ohio Bri- 
 gade, to interest the veterans in their own memories, and in a measure to 
 instruct succeeding generations who will read of the great struggle for a 
 national existence and human liberty. 
 
TO MY COMRADES OF THE OHIO BRIGADE. 
 
 It has always been with me a greal and growing desire to see a com- 
 plete record of what was suffered and the work that was accomplished for 
 our country during those trying years 1801 to 1865 left to our prosperity, 
 and it is now one of my greatest pleasures that I have been able to con- 
 tribute in a small way to tin- work that has been carried through to com- 
 pletion under such great difficulties by our faithful friend and comrade 
 Major Chas. H. Smith, i our Historian). This history of the < >hio Brigade 
 and the drum that 1 carried to arouse the boys from their slumbers many 
 times by the reveille, and some times by the long roll for battle, and marked 
 time for their soldierly tread on many long marches and bloody held, will 
 he among my most cherished relic-. 
 
 When my name was mentioned by the Historian a- one of the Com- 
 mittee, on publication, I very much doubted my ability to add anything of 
 value, hut remembering my liking for drawing and sketching picture- o\ 
 scenes that appealed to me during the war. I began to look over old trunks, 
 drawers, etc., and soon unearthed many engravings, sketches, lithographs, 
 photographs, maps, etc., long since forgotten. I never could pass anything 
 in this line that referred to our Brigade and Regimental operations without 
 annexing them to my collection. The result was that I had a great mass 
 of crude material from which to build the pictorial part of the history. My 
 lingers are not so nimble as in '61 to '65, but with the help of modern pho- 
 tography, and the half tone art of reproducing. 1 am able to give yQU 
 the result of my best efforts and a clearer understanding of many of our 
 most important operations and struggles. I do not claim these are all 
 original or infallible, but 1 do believe they more nearly represent the scenes 
 as they appeared to you than the material from any other source at this 
 late day could supply. If you enjoy their perusal as much as 1 have en- 
 joyed their collection and preparation, them my recompense will he com- 
 plete and I dedicate them to you.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 DISPUTES between the states of the American Union originated with 
 the formation of the federal government itself. The question of 
 States Rights was perhaps the must vital. Washington foresaw the 
 danger and in his solicitude for the welfare of his people, and in contem- 
 plating the causes which might disturb the union, gave voice to them in 
 his farewell address in 1796. He said in part : 
 
 "It is necessary to have unity of government, which constitutes you 
 one people, for it is the main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, 
 the support of your tranquility, at home, your peace abroad, of your safety, 
 of your prosperity, of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But it 
 is easy to foresee that from different quarters and from different causes, 
 much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds 
 the conviction of this truth, though often covertly and insidiously directed. 
 It is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense 
 value of your national union in your collective and individual happiness, 
 accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the Palladium of your 
 political safety and prosperity, watching for its preservation with jealous 
 anxiety, discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it 
 can, in any event be abandoned, and indignantly frowning upon the first 
 dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the 
 rest. Every portion of our country finds the most commanding motives 
 for carefully guarding and preserving the union of the whole. You have 
 in a common cause, fought and triumphed together. The independence 
 and liberty you possess are the work of joint council and joint efforts, of 
 common dangers, suffering and successes. In union all the parts combined 
 cannot fail to find, in the united mass of means and efforts, greater 
 strength, greater resource, proportionably greater security from external 
 danger, a less frequent interruption to their peace by foreign nations, and 
 what is of more inestimable value, they must derive from union an exemp- 
 tion from those broils and wars between themselves." 
 
 Up to 1832 there had been frequent murmurings of discontent among 
 political leaders. President Jackson in his proclamation to the people of 
 South Carolina, which state had undertaken to annul the revenue law and 
 secede from the union, said in part: 
 
 'The power to annul the law of the United States assumed by one 
 slate is incompatible with the existence of the union, contradicted expressly 
 by the letter of the constitution, unauthorized by its spirit, inconsistent with 
 every principle on which it was founded and destructive of the great object 
 for winch it was formed. Our constitution does not contain the absurdity 
 of giving the power to make laws, and another power to resist them. The

 crisis that the conduct of South ( arolina presents, would recur whenever 
 
 any law of the United States displeased any of the states, and we should 
 soon cease to exist as a nation. The constitution of the United States 
 forms a government, not a league. ( )ur government has the right by law 
 of self defence, to punish offenders, to make war, levy taxes, exercise 
 legislative and judicial powers, make treaties and all alliances, in the name 
 of all. Troops are raised for the joint defence. In the preamble of the 
 constitution made in the name and by the authority of the people of the 
 United States, among the most important objects was one to form a more 
 perfect union. That decisive step was taken jointly. We declare ourselves 
 a nation jointly, not by several action. The several states agreed that they 
 would collectively from one nation, declaring that every state shall abide 
 by the determination of Congress. To give the right of resisting laws, 
 coupled with the uncontrolled right to decide what laws are right, is to give 
 the power of resisting all laws, for by that theory, there is no appeal, the 
 reasons alleged by the state, good or bad must prevail. Public opinion is 
 a sufficient guard against the passage of an unconstitutional act passed by 
 Congress, one to the people and the states, the other to the judiciary. Our 
 social pact in express terms declares that the laws of the United States, 
 its Constitution and the treaties made under it, are the supreme law of 
 the land and for greater caution adds that the judges in every state shall 
 be bound thereby, everything" in the constitution or laws of any state to 
 the contrary, notwithstanding. Xo federative government could exist with- 
 out a similar provision." 
 
 Agitation of the question of States Rights increased up to the election 
 of Lincoln, who in his inaugural address. March 4th. 1861, gave expression 
 to these memorable and patriotic words : 
 
 "In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, 
 is the momentous issue of Civil War. The Government will not assail you. 
 You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You 
 have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall 
 have the most solemn one to protect and defend it. We are not enemies 
 but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, 
 it must not break the bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory 
 stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and 
 hearthstone, all over this broad land will yet swell the chorus of the Union, 
 when again touched, as surely they will be. by the better angels of our 
 nature." 
 
 Honorable Stephen A. Douglass, in a speech delivered in Chicago May 
 1st, 1861, spoke of the secession conspiracy as follows: 
 
 "What cause, what excuse do the disunionists give us for breaking up 
 the besl government upon which the sun of heaven ever shed its rays? 
 ]ln\ arc dissatisfied with the results of the Presidential election. The 
 slavery question is a mere excuse, the election of Lincoln a mere pretext. 
 I lie present secession movement is the result of an enormous conspiracy 
 formed more than a year since by leaders in the southern Confederacy. 
 They use the slavery question as a means to aid the accomplishment ot 
 
Introduction 23 
 
 their ends. When the history of the two years from the Lecompton Char- 
 ter down to the Presidential election shall be written, it will be shown that 
 the scheme was deliberately made to break up this union. The conspiracy 
 is now known. There are only two sides to the question. Every man must 
 be for the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this 
 war, only patriots or traitors." 
 
 Civil War was apprehended by leading statesmen of the United States 
 during the half century preceding hostilities, by reason of slaver} . In 
 1860, the slave population was about four million. Their estimated value 
 was twenty-five million dollars. This monied interest overcame the moral 
 side of the question with most southern citizens and with some people of 
 the north. 
 
 The southern politicians openly proposed civil war in 1850 and again 
 in 1856. There was no concealment of declaration of and preparation for 
 war in the south after the election of Mr. Lincoln, but because the north 
 diil nut immediately raise an army, they seemed convinced that the north 
 was cowardly, and not willing to fight for the great principle of our govern- 
 ment. The southern leaders were thereby enabled to commit their people 
 finally to the war, claiming it to be a defence of their slave property.

 CONDITIONS OF AFFAIRS AT THE OPENING OF THE \\ \ I; 
 
 THE ordinance of secession was passed by the State of South Carolina 
 on December 20th. 1860. Other states followed, eleven in number. 
 Hostilities against the United States Government commenced at 
 Charleston, South Carolina, by an artillery fire, Januarj 9th, 1861, upon the 
 Steamer "Star of the West." 
 
 Actual war between the North and the South began when Fort 
 Sumpter was fired upon. April L2th, at half past four in the morning. 
 Soon after this, a number of United State- arsenals and forts were seized, 
 the .Missouri River was blockaded, and Pensacola and Xorfolk Navy Yard 
 was surrendered. 
 
 During the last months of 1860, acts of treason were committed all 
 over the South. Floyd, while Secretary of War in Buchanan's Cabinet. 
 traitorously stripped all the arsenals in the North of their arms and mili- 
 tary stores, and collected them in the South. By one single order, one 
 hundred and fifty thousand small arms of the most approved pattern were 
 moved. lie felonously took $870,000 of the Indian trust bonds from 
 the vaults of the Department of the Interior and sent them south. During 
 the trying winter of 1860-1861, the southern people were so defiant that 
 they would not allow within their borders the expression of a sentiment 
 hostile to their views. Before the outbreak of the war, the Southern Con- 
 federacy was well established, and its troops had been drilling for months. 
 These acts of treason were intended to make our American civilization go 
 backward. They were the acts of the few against the many. 
 
 During this time in the North, continued concessions to secession were 
 adopted. Prominent men in public and private life and a portion of the 
 press promulgated the doctrine that the "government had no power to 
 coerce the South into submission to the laws of the land." also that "ii the 
 North raised armies and sent them south, they would have to inarch over 
 tlie dead bodies of the speakers." 
 
 .en the President of the United States, James Buchanan, announced 
 that while a Mate had no right to secede, the constitution gave no power to 
 the government to coerce a stale which had, or was attempting to withdraw 
 from the Union. This was in direct conflict to 1'resident Jackson's views. 
 In 1832 he proclaimed to the people that there was nothing in the constitu- 
 tion which gave the right to withdraw from the Union and that "the 
 
Conditions. 25 
 
 Federal Union must and shall be preserved." He used prompt and ener- 
 getic measures and completely crushed the contemplated secession of South 
 Carolina at that time. 
 
 It was deemed unsafe for the President elect to go to the capitol of the 
 nation to be sworn into office and he was obliged to be smuggled into 
 Washington on the day previous to the one set for his arrival. 
 
 Gradually it dawned upon the loyal people, that a great conspiracy, 
 called by many "the great slave-holders' rebellion." controlled by the prin- 
 cipal politicians of the South was determined upon, for the purpose of 
 establishing a Confederacy founded upon slavery and aristocracy. 
 
 On April 15th, 1861, when President Lincoln's first call for 75,000 
 troops came, the young men of the North flew to the defence of the nation, 
 which the soldiers of 1776 fought to establish. And now these volunteers 
 were to fight to preserve and maintain that which their forefathers intended 
 these United States to be — a perpetual union with power to protect and 
 preserve its own existence, to show that the union of states was not a de- 
 lusion and a sham, and that the old claim of "states rights" whereby men 
 were taught that their first duty was to the state, be swept aside. 
 
 The boys who enlisted were fired with a determination to save the na- 
 tion. The motive for which they enlisted and offered their lives was that 
 the American flag, without a single star erased, should float forever, over 
 even- part of the country. 
 
 Then followed a period of four years almost incessant hostilities, over 
 fields of operation which embraced in their vast areas, forests and cultivated 
 plains, mountain ranges and valleys, sea coasts, bayous, lakes, rivers, and 
 trackless swamps. 
 
 The armed participants were numbered by the millions. The Federal 
 armies distributed from the Potomac to the Missouri Rivers, were organized 
 in three principal grand divisions, designated as the Army of the Potomac 
 in the east, the Army of the Cumberland in the center, and the Army of 
 the Tennessee and the Mississippi in the west, extending as far as New 
 .Mexico. Beside the great distances covered by lines in front, many hun- 
 dred miles of transportation were guarded in the rear. In hostile array in 
 from of the Union Army were the Rebel Armies of Virginia, of Georgia, 
 of the Tennessee and Missouri, also their army of slaves, four million in 
 number, used for the purpose of building fortifications and cultivating the 
 land, for teamsters, blacksmiths, and servants. 
 
 It was under the second call for troops, by President Lincoln, on May 
 '•th, 1861, for three hundred thousand men for three years' service, that 
 the regiments of the < Ihio Brigade were organized.

 ORGANIZATION OF THE REGIMENTS. 
 
 The Twenty-seventh Ohio Regiment was organized in July. 1861, at 
 Camp Chase, Columbus, ( >hio, and mustered in, August 16th, under Colonel 
 John \Y. Fuller. Colonel Fuller had recently returned from a three months' 
 service in West Virginia, as Chief-of-staff to General Charles \Y. Hill. The 
 Twenty-seventh was the sixth regiment formed for three years' service. 
 Its rank and file represented nearly every county in the state and the cities 
 of Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Williamsburg, Ironton and 
 Circleville. They marched out of camp on August 20th, 1861, nine hun- 
 dred and fifty strong, each soldier clothed in uniform and equipped with 
 knapsack, canteen, haversack, old Springfield rifle and cartridge box. At 
 Columbus, Ohio, they took cars for Cincinnati, where they embarked by 
 steamer for Lawrenceburg, Indiana, the soldiers receiving a most cordial 
 reception by the citizens there and again at Washington, Indiana, and other 
 places, men women and children bringing well-filled baskets of refresh- 
 ments to them. 
 
 They arrived at St. Louis on the following day. There being no 
 bridge, they were ferried over the Mississippi River on the morning of the 
 22nd and marched through the city to Benton Barracks, stopping on the 
 way at the headquarters of General Fremont, who reviewed the regiment. 
 At the same time, Mrs. Jessie Fremont presented a United States flag to 
 the organization. At St. Louis they were joined with the Thirty-ninth 
 Ohio, which had arrived two days previous, and with them served through- 
 out the war. 
 
 THE ORGANIZATION OF THE THIRTY-NINTH. 
 
 The Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiment rendezvoused at Camp Colerain, ten 
 miles north of Cincinnati, during the month of July. 1861. On the 31st 
 of July, seven companies were mustered into service and on the 2nd of 
 August, tluy moved to Camp Dennison, where the remaining three com- 
 panies and the field and staff officers were mustered in. The Thirty-ninth 
 was the third regiment to enlist from ( )hio for three years. Being fully armed 
 and equipped, the regiment moved on Sunday, August 18th, 1861, under 
 command of Colonel John Groesbeck to St. Louis to join the forces or- 
 ganizing under General Fremont, U. S, A., commanding the western de- 
 partment, which comprehended Illinois, the states and territories west of

 the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, and New Mexico. At Fre- 
 mont's earnest solicitation, the Thirty-ninth and the Twenty-seventh < >hio 
 regiments had been sent by the War Department. These two regiments 
 were the first and only Ohio regiments to enter the state of .Missouri in 
 1861.

Organization of the Forty-Third 29 
 
 THE FORTY-THIRD OHIO. 
 
 The Forty-third Ohio Regiment was organized principally from men 
 living in central and eastern ( >hio, at Camp Andrews, Mount Vernon, ( >hio, 
 on February 7th, 1862, parts of two companies having been formed by 
 Colonel T- L. Kirby Smith, a graduate of Wesl Point, at Camp Chase, ( >hio, 
 in September 1861. Part of Company H was from Lorain County. It 
 was recruited at a time when men were very difficult to procure, but through 
 the energy and perseverence of Lieutenant-Colonel Wager Swayne, the 
 Regiment was filled to the minimum number and mustered into service. 
 After having been well drilled by its Colonel J. L. Kirby Smith, it left its 
 rendezvous for the front on the 21st of February, 1862; were conveyed by 
 boat down the Ohio River to Cairo, Illinois, and reported to Brigadier-i len- 
 eral John Pope at Commerce, Missouri. The Regiment was at once assigned 
 to John W. Fuller's ( )hio Brigade, General D. S. Stanley's First Division. 
 
 THE SIXTY-THIRD OHIO. 
 
 The Sixty-third Ohio Regiment was organized by the consolidation of 
 two battalions of recruits known as the Twenty-second and the Sixty-third 
 Regiments, O. V. I. The battalion of the Twenty-second was recruited at 
 Camp Worthington, Chillicothe, Ohio, and furnished for the new organi- 
 zation six companies. A., B., E.. H., I.. K. The battalion of the Sixty-third 
 was recruited at Marietta, Ohio. 
 
 The consolidation was occasioned by the earnest call of the govern- 
 ment upon the state authorities for troops, directing that recruits be pushed 
 into the held as rapidly as possible. The order for the consolidation was 
 issued at Columbus, on the 18th of January, 1862, and the organization 
 was completed on the 23rd of the same month, the Twenty-second having 
 been ordered to report at Marietta, Ohio. 
 
 The Regiment was commanded by Colonel Sprague. who had been a 
 Captain in the Seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry during a three months' 
 >ervice. The Regiment moved from Marietta on the 18th of February, 
 under orders to report at Paducah, Kentucky. From this place it was or- 
 dered to join Major-General John Pope's Army of the Mississippi at Com- 
 merce. Missouri, and there was assigned to Fuller's < >hio Brigade. Stanley's 
 First Division, in which it was united with the Twenty-seventh and Thirty- 
 ninth, ami Forty-third Ohio. Over ninety-five per cent of the men in these 
 regiments were American born. Their average age was less than twenty 
 years, and they composed the flower of Ohio youth. Among these regi- 
 ments there was a unanimity of loyal sentiment and cordial, kindly feeling, 
 which lasted throughout their service and to the end of the war.

 Fuller's < >hio Brigade 
 
 In April, .May and June of 1861, many people of St. Louis, .Missouri, 
 were in sympathy with the South and the enemy's flag was displayed from 
 residences and recruiting offices. The State of Missouri was in active 
 rebellion against national authority. The Battle of Bull Run had been a 
 severe blow to the prestige of the Union. Armed men swarmed over the 
 state. A Confederate force of nearly fifty thousand men was already on 
 the southern frontier. Pillow with twelve thousand, was advancing upon 
 Cairo; Thompson with five thousand, upon Girardeau, Hardee with five 
 thousand, upon Ironton, and Price with an estimated force of twenty-five 
 thousand upon Lyon at Springfield. Their movement was intended to over- 
 run Missouri and, supported by over a million of friendly population, to 
 sieze St. Louis and make that city a center of operations for the invasion 
 of Loyal states. 
 
 To meet this advancing force, Fremont, during the last days of July 
 1.861, had twenty-three thousand men of all arms, ten thousand of whom 
 were three months men, whose term of service was expiring. General Mm 
 Pope was fully occupied in North Missouri. General M. B. Prentiss had 
 two regiments at Cairo, where fever and dysentery prevailed. General 
 Lyon at Springfield had six thousand men. unpaid and badly fed and in 
 need of clothing. 
 
 The soldiers in Missouri at this time who later rose to fame, were 
 Lyon, Fremont, Grant, Blair, Schofield, Sherman, Steel, Pope, Halleck, and 
 Sheridan.

CHAPTER III. 
 
 DISCIPLINE OF THE REGIMENTS BATTLE OF WILSONS CREEK MOVEMENTS 
 
 OF FORCES UNDER MAJOR STURGESS. 
 
 The soldiers of the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiments 
 received their first lessons at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio, and at Camp 
 Dennison, respectively, and during their stay in Camp Benton, St. Louis, 
 Missouri, the instruction was given principally by the commissioned and 
 non-commissioned officers, who had just passed through the experience of 
 three months' service and also under instructions of officers of the regular 
 army, just come from frontier service. The discipline was severe, averag- 
 ing ten hours a day, consisting mainly of field movements, battalion and 
 squad drill, Zouave drill with musket, strikes and parries, loading and firing 
 while kneeling or lying down, deploying as skirmishers and rallies upon the 
 Hag. It brought the men to a high state of prefection and effectiveness for 
 the coming work in the field. 
 
 During drill hours, much good-natured bantering passed between the 
 tall men who were placed on the right of a company and the short men on 
 the left, the former being nick-named '"Shanghais" and the latter "Little 
 Roosters." Occupying this camp were several Missouri Regiments. The 
 recruits were dressed in butternut clothing. They were thoroughly loyal 
 to the Union, some of them having participated in the battle of Wilson's 
 Creek, which took place August 10th, the bloodiest engagement thus far in 
 the Civil War, in point of numbers. 
 
 General Lyon, commanding, at Wilson's Creek, against great odds fell 
 upon the enemy with great fury and inspired his soldiers to deeds of almost 
 super-human daring. While leading a column in a bayonet charge at the 
 supreme moment, after having been wounded, he fell from his horse pierced 
 by a bullet, and expired instantly. Major Sturgess, upon whom the com- 
 mand now devolved, ordered a retreat and withdrew to Springfield. On 
 returning shortly afterward to St. Louis, General Fremont gave him com- 
 mand of a force to move to the aid of Union forces under Colonel Williams 
 in an attack upon Green's band of rebels at Macon City. 
 
 The Order received by General Sturgess reads as follows : 
 
 St. Louis, Missouri, Sept. 6. 1861. 
 
 Brigadier-General Sturgess, Commanding the Arsenal: 
 
 Colonel Williams has been forced to retreat with his command of eight 
 hundred men from Shelbina, to Macon City, by a band of rebels under 
 
32 
 
 hin r's < 'ii m Brigade. 
 
 Green, numbering three thousand, where he is now cut off from all lines 
 of communication east of his position. In order to arrest the constant dep- 
 redations in .Marion, Shelby, Macon and adjoining counties, and to visit 
 them with the whole vigor of martial law, I have resolved a combined attack 
 mi Green's men. To carry this movement, you will assume command of 
 the following forces : 
 
 The Twenty-seventh ( )hio, Colonel Fuller. 
 The Thirty-ninth Ohio, Colonel Groesbeck. 
 The First Squadron of Fremont's Hussars, Captain Illume. 
 Captain Swartz' full battery under command of the hirst Lieutenant. 
 
 Your main endeavor will be to cut off the enemy from the road leading 
 to Shelbyville, and generally to render impossible the dispersion of his Forces 
 by squads, and to annihilate the gang of rebels as a whole. Communication 
 between you and General Pope is subject to hazzard of interruption. Re- 
 port when necessary to these headquarters. V 
 
 Major-* Ieneral Fremont, Commanding. 
 
 Nine companies of the Twenty-seventh and nine companies of the 
 Thirty-ninth Ohio (one company of each regiment having been left at St. 
 Louis in charge of camp equipage) moved up the Mississippi and Missouri 
 Rivers, sixty miles to St. Charles on the steamers '"January" and "H. D. 
 I '..icon," thence to the town of Mexico in freight cars, where the command 
 pulled down the rebel flag and hoisted in its place the "stars and stripes." 
 
 (ieneral Sturgess reported from St. Charles on September 7th. that 
 his troops were still on boats, that the artillery and cavalry had not yet 
 arrived, and that Major Krekel of the Home Guards, had started north 
 the same morning, with an engine and eighteen cars, for troops of his own 
 command and was thereby delayed.

1'Im [PLINE OF THE REGIMENTS. 
 
 At St. Charles, an incident occured which showed the nervous state of 
 mind of the soldiers who were constantly hearing camp rumors of danger 
 and attack by the enemy. After the twelve o'clock midnight relief had been 
 posted, the sound of a heavy musket shot came from the direction of an 
 outer sentry. Long roll was sounded vigorously, and in a moment there 
 was consternation and commotion from upper and lower deck of the 
 crowded steamers. It was the first time these men had heard the long roll 
 and it caused a more intense thrill of excitement than at any other time 
 during the service. Companies fully armed, equipped and supplied with 
 forty rounds of ammunition, were rapidly marched ashore and formed in 
 line of battle. Hasty orders were given to load guns, fix bayonets, and be 
 in readiness until further orders. For an hour, the men stood waiting and 
 watching for trouble, while the skirmishing companies went in search of 
 the enemy. Finally the word came that the sentinel on the outpost had 
 fired on a squad of the enemy and killed two. and again that the sentinel 
 had been shot. While they were considering with each other what should 
 be done with their personal effects, should they not survive the conflict at 
 hand, the skirmishers returned and reported that there was no enemy, no 
 one killed nor wounded, but that the alarm was caused by a soldier standing 
 in a lonely nook, firing at what he supposed to be the enemy approaching 
 his beat, but which proved to be two hideous looking scare-crows posted 
 astride of a fence in a back lot. 
 
 September 16th, the command arrived at Macon on cattle cars. Four 
 companies of the Thirty-ninth Ohio were ordered to St. Joseph. Missouri, 
 where they performed guard duty on the North Missouri Railroad. This 
 separation lasted until about February 1st, when they were ordered to St. 
 Louis and rejoined the company left there. 
 
 General Sturgess now received orders to go to the relief of the Union 
 forces, besieged at Lexington. He moved his command to Utica. over the 
 Hannibal and St. Joe Railroad. This was a most hazardous ride. The train. 
 consisting of one locomotive and freight cars, rushed all night long, twist- 
 ing, thumping and jerking over a worn-out road bed. anything but safe, at 
 the rate of sixty miles an hour. The men riding on the tops of the cars, in 
 danger every moment, clutched for safety with a death grip. This ride 
 was through a country which the enemy showed a disposition to claim by 
 shooting into the cars. 
 
 Arriving at Utica, a detail was made from the two regiments to unload 
 cars. The young gentlemen of Company li and G. Twenty-seventh Regi- 
 ment, whose spirits had never been curbed, whose enterprise over-reached 
 their discretion, having in mind the possibilities of putting down the rebel- 
 lion by taking some of the luxuries belonging to the enemy, raided some 
 
34 Filler's Ohio Brigade 
 
 nearby bee-hives. The owner at once complained to General Sturgess, who 
 became very angry at what he considered a breach of discipline and caused 
 them io be drawn tip in line. While they were standing in the hot sun, the 
 hone) melted in their haversacks and ran down their clothing, upon which 
 the bees began to settle. Upon every bristle of their army pants was a bee. 
 Then this commander posing as an army General, cursing them and threat- 
 ening in a violent manner, demanded to know why they had committed the 
 "crime." But the bees were getting lively and stung the General between 
 the eyes. lie retreated, swinging his arms in an effort to keep them off. 
 while the boys disappeared in the opposite direction. Sturgess placed the 
 men of Company B under arrest, their muskets were taken from them, and 
 the Captain was obliged to surrender his sword. The orderly was hand- 
 cuffed and in that condition, was made to march all that day. On another 
 occasion, he ordered a man tied to a cannon for some trifling offence, and 
 at other times men were tied to fences for taking rails. General Sturgess" 
 orders were at all times to protect the property of known secessionists, not- 
 withstanding the fact that was pointed out to him that the very men whose 
 property he was protecting were shooting Union citizens and soldiers. 
 
 General Sturgess was excitable and had a bad temper. He gave atten- 
 tion to small things, never allowing the Volunteer Soldier the right of self- 
 defence, and when aroused, treated him without the consideration to which 
 he was entitled. General Sturgess' military career had been most unfortu- 
 nate. He had ordered the needless retreat from the battle field of Wilson's 
 Creek. He was found unsuited to lead armies and was relieved of his 
 command at Springfield, in the following November, but was afterward 
 given another command of other forces. On the other hand, General Stur- 
 gess had a fine presence, was an educated soldier, and when the occasion 
 required, could be a perfect gentleman. The writer found him so, when 
 visiting him at his headquarter's tent for the purpose of having several sol- 
 diers liberated from further punishment. His manner and language on that 
 occasion were most polite and cordial. He died after the war at St. Paul. 
 Minnesota. 
 
 The camp equipage and commissary stores unloaded at Utica, consisted 
 of commodious Sibly tents, each suitable for eight men, when sleeping close 
 together, a wagon drawn by four or six mules for each company, with army 
 ration, of bacon, hard bread, sugar, coffee, peas, beans, vinegar, rice, mo- 
 lasses, candles, and soap. Subsequently all the above-named articles were 
 eliminated from regular issue except hard bread, sugar, coffee and bacon. 
 
CHAPTER IV. 
 
 THE MARCH TO THE RELIEF OF LEXINGTON MISSOURI — HARDSHIPS ON THE 
 
 WAY — ARRIVAL AT KANSAS CITY. 
 
 On September 17th at eleven o'clock in the morning, twelve hundred 
 men under Sturgess commenced a rapid march forward to relieve Mulli- 
 gan's forces, then beseiged by Trice's Army at Lexington. The sun shone 
 hot from a clear sky. and long stretches of the way afforded no water. The 
 country was almost a wilderness, containing few inhabitants. The roads 
 were new across the vast rolling prairies, the grass as high as the men's 
 shoulders, was swept by the wind like the waves of the sea. It was a land- 
 scape of grandeur. 
 
 The command bivouacked at Ellis Creek. The men marched twenty- 
 two miles on the 18th and were off at two o'clock on the morning of the 
 19th. At daylight, the sound of heavy guns was heard at Lexing- 
 ton. Arriving about noon, opposite that place, information was re- 
 ceived from scouts that the enemy had possession of Lexington, and was 
 moving across the river with three thousand infantry and artillery. Gen- 
 eral Sturgess formed his small force in battle line, passed the word that 
 "Lyon" was to be the battle cry, and then moved rapidly (seven miles in 
 one hour) through deep bottom lands and corn fields, encountering the 
 enemy's pickets and a Confederate Regiment, losing a few men, and cap- 
 turing several prisoners. He then marched them to Richmond, where the 
 exhausted soldiers rested upon their knapsacks, in the streets. At Rich- 
 mond, many wounded rebels were brought in. 
 
 The march was resumed in the afternoon, and the men arrived at 
 Camden Hill at sundown, burning with thirst, owing to heat, dust and rapid 
 marching, having covered a distance, that day, of twenty-six miles. They 
 rushed into the Missouri River for water and after filling their canteens, 
 and slacking their thirst, bivouacked without food or shelter. 
 
 They (Sturgess' Command) started at two o'clock in the morning 
 amidst a storm of rain, thunder and lightning, marching all day and 
 covering a distance of thirty-three miles. Their clothing, blankets and ac- 
 cutrements were soaked with water. Physically, the men were "used up." 
 It was their first great march. They had travelled one hundred and ten 
 miles in four days, averaging twenty-seven miles a day. Bivouacking in a 
 field near Liberty, Missouri, they fell into a deep sleep. During the night, 
 two soldiers of the Thirtv-ninth Ohio, who had thrown awav their blankets 
 
36 
 
 Fn i er's < >hio Brig \m: 
 
 on the march, crept over to the sleeping forms of two men in the Twenty- 
 seventh Ohio, and after removing the blankets that covered them, actually 
 rolled them off the blankets they lay on, without awakening them. 
 
 A story is told by the soldiers, that the enemy's cavalry scouts 
 following this column as it ascended a hill, saw the large, highly-polished 
 brass instruments carried by the members of the Twenty-seventh Ohio 
 Regimental Band. The scouts retreated immediately and reported to Gen- 
 eral Price that the Yankees had a full battery of brass cannon and could 
 not be attacked. 
 
 On September 21st, after a general cleaning of guns, accoutrements 
 and clothing, the command marched to Liberty Landing on the Missouri 
 River and embarked on the steamer "A. Majors" for Kansas City. After 
 landing there, by some unaccountable neglect, they were left to bivouack on 
 the levee, amid the debris of the river, and with only the muddy water of 
 that stream to drink. 
 
 BATTLE OK LEXINGTON. MISSOURI 
 
.March to the Relief of Lexington. 37 
 
 While ascending the river, the pilot ran the boat on a sand bar and 
 Colonel Fuller immediately put him under guard until the boat moved off. 
 
 Xo railroads entered Kansas City at the time, so that all outside com- 
 munication was by river. It was a great distributing point for army sup- 
 plies. A sand-bag fort occupied the high bluff which commanded the 
 passage of the river. 
 
 The two regiments (Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth) moved on the 
 following day to the open fields near the town, remaining a few days, and 
 then into store houses on the main street. They were instructed and 
 drilled continuously in maneuvering and the use of arms. There were 
 drills for commissioned officers and squad and regimental drills, commenc- 
 ing often at five in the morning and ending with dress parade at six in the 
 evening. The men became very proficient and the discipline was equal to 
 that of any soldiers in the world. Yet it is a remarkable fact that very 
 little of this drill could be made useful in actual warfare. Most of the 
 practice was for the soldier of the past. Skillful soldiers are made by 
 being pitted against the enemy ; there they learn unheard-of things. They 
 find ways to use stumps, trees, rocks, earth, hills and valleys, to protect 
 themselves, while inflicting all possible damage to the enemy. Showy uni- 
 forms are thrown away, their clothing becomes stained the color of the 
 earth upon which they sleep, a shade least liable to be a mark for the enemy. 
 
 Captain Minken, Sergeants Thomas Morgan, E. B. Temple, John Toms 
 and Corporal William E. More published a paper while the regiments re- 
 mained in Kansas City, from which we copy the following, so important 
 to the soldier : 
 
 "What we chiefly dread in war is rifle balls, or saber cuts, or bayonet 
 thrusts, or bomb shells, or over fatigue in marching, but the vital statistics 
 of war prove that there is another great agent of destruction that is far 
 more potent than any or all of these and that is disease." 
 
 ( (ctober 16th, re-enforcements of Kansas troops, Indian scouts and 
 Mexican teamsters arrived under command of General James Lane, includ- 
 ing also the Seventh Kansas Cavalry known to the Brigade as the "Kansas 
 Jay Hawkers." with whom they served in many later campaigns. 
 
 The clothing furnished by the government in refitting men for active 
 service was good but many misfits occured. Shoes were too large, and 
 blouses and trousers were often baggy. 
 
CHAPTER V. 
 
 THE MARCH TO SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. 
 
 On October 16th, the Brigade with the whole command under General 
 Sturgess, marched to join General Fremont's forces at Springfield, in south- 
 west Missouri, moving from the wooded bottom lands of the Missouri 
 River to the rolling prairies and plantations of corn, cotton and tobacco, 
 over the counties of Jackson, Cass, Johnson, Henry, St. Clair and Polk, and 
 through the towns of Pleasant Hill, Oseola, Bolivar and Greenfield. The 
 Brigade crossed seven rivers enroute, some of which the men waded during 
 the night, with the water and air at the freezing point. The ( )sage, a large 
 and deep river, was crossed on a scow drawn over by ropes. 
 
 'I he soldiers were often supplied by the settlers with corn pone cakes 
 which had been baked in skillets over red-hot coals. The boys added mo- 
 lasses and the cake was considered a luxury. 
 
 This country was known in early geography as the eastern end of the 
 great American dessert. However, there was no dessert. It was a plateau 
 or tableland over which the wind swept and chilled our soldiers to the 
 marrow. 
 
 The two Regiments arrived at Greenfield on October 27th, raised the 
 Union flag over the Court House, and on the 30th, late in the afternoon, 
 after being reviewed by General Sturgess and double-quicked through the 
 streets for several hours, received urgent orders to join Fremont. They 
 marched all night and the following day. arrived in Springfield just at dusk, 
 with bands playing and flags flying. They were hungry and thirsty and 
 covered with dust, and they had waded three small rivers during the night. 
 They marched forty-five miles during the twenty-four hours and a total 
 distance of two hundred and thirty miles in fourteen days, subsisting on 
 scanty rations of pork and cornmeal. Soldiers from their camps lined the 
 roadway and greeted the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth ( )hio with up- 
 roar-, of delight, exclaiming. "Here come the regulars." This was a compli- 
 ment to the fine marching and discipline. On noticing the Ohio banners, 
 cheers were given for the "twin Buckeye regiments." 
 
 Fremont's army now numbered about fifty thousand men, all gathered 
 in a great camp of white tents. 1 [ere was heard near by and in the distance, 
 the martial sound of bugle call, of fife and drum, and the music of bands. 
 Tliis and the artillery salutes to the flag at sunrise and sunset seemed to 
 the minds of the < Ihio soldiers who had just marched out of the wilderness, 
 magical and inspiring, and it tilled them with patriotic emotions. 
 
March to Springfield. 39 
 
 Camp was made on the grounds where Major Zagoni of Fremont's 
 start led a bold movement with two hundred and fifty horsemen and de- 
 feated a thousand rebel recruits of Price's Arm)'. While here the regi- 
 ments were sent on a march of twelve miles to Wilson's Creek to bury the 
 dead left after the battle. The work of interment was done as humanely 
 as possible, but was difficult on account of the rocky and irregular surface 
 of the battle field. 
 
 Many Unionists living in this section of the country gave the soldiers 
 a warm greeting. While crossing the prairies, each company when about 
 to camp and pitch tents, marched four abreast, making a circle and tramp- 
 ing down the grass. It is wonderful how proficient the soldiers became 
 in putting up their tents, "striking" them (taking them down) and loading 
 them into wagons neatly and quickly. 
 
CHAPTER VI. 
 
 THE TERRITORY IN POSSESSION OF THE UNION ARMIES. 
 
 The situation of all the armies at this time I last days of September, 
 1861,) was in part as follows: The United States was in possession of 
 Fortress Monroe and the adjacent waters of the sound, also from a point 
 a few miles south of Washington. D. C, through Harper's Ferry. .Mary- 
 land, through West Virginia, just smith of the Ohio River, then in Ken- 
 lucky near the Dick and Kentucky Rivers to the < )hio River near Paducah. 
 from Cairo, Illinois, along the Mississippi River to points a little south of 
 St. Louis, thence west to Kansas City and south to Springfield. Missouri. 
 The Missouri River was a Federal highway from its source to its mouth. 
 Nearly the whole territory south of the above line was controlled by the so- 
 called Confederacy. 
 
 The Army of the Potomac in the east under McClellan was inactive 
 though organized in the midst of loyal advisors and surroundings, under 
 the eyes of the President. Missouri, a border state, had represented all the 
 evils of bitter civil strife. Military operations had to be initiated in the 
 midst of revolutionary conditions and a rebellious people, where all laws 
 were set at defiance. "The consummation of General Lyon's well-conserved 
 campaign and Frank Blair's statesmanship had made it impossible for Mis- 
 souri to secede or contribute any more men or material to the south." Gen- 
 eral Fremont had sent officers into the states of Tennessee and Kentucky, 
 within the Confederate lines to observe and ascertain the strength of the 
 enemy, who upon returning, had brought important information concerning 
 the position of the enemy. He had ordered General Grant to Cairo to take 
 possession of Paducah. to hold the mouths of the Cumberland and Tennes- 
 see Rivers which were threatened by the enemy, to take command of south- 
 east Missouri, and had laid plans for operations on the Mississippi River 
 with gunboats, which he had ordered built. 
 
 * Mi November 4th. General McKinstry inspected and reviewed the 
 Firsl Brigade and First Division, to which the Twenty-seventh and Thirty- 
 ninth had been assigned at Springfield. 
 
 Tin- genera] routine of duty until the '»th of November, 1861, con- 
 sisted principally of roll call, drill four limes each day and dress parade. 
 The armj was on half rations, for the train of thousands of wagons failed 
 lo supply rations in sufficient quantities. 
 
CHAPTER VII. 
 
 THE RETROGRADE MOVEMENT OF THE ARMY. 
 
 On the 2nd of November, General Fremont was relieved of command 
 of the Army of the Northwest. The government thought he had not 
 filled the high expectations which his opportunities merited. The dis- 
 aster of the battle of Springfield and the death of Lyon, to whom loyal 
 Missouri owed so much, turned censure sharply upon Fremont, whose short- 
 comings as a commander had been noticed. General Hunter now assumed 
 command. He failed to realize that the Army could live on the country, 
 but unfortunately moved his army back to their base of supplies on the 
 railroads at Sedalia. necessitating a march of one hundred and twenty-five 
 miles. The Confederate General Price's Army followed and occupied 
 Springfield, consuming all subsistence raised in that country, especially that 
 belonging to the Union people. 
 
 While camped near Springfield, Missouri, Colonel Fuller, command- 
 ing the Twenty-seventh < )hio Regiment, was so reduced by sickness that 
 he could not be moved and was left in the hospital when our army moved 
 to Sedalia. All the sick in the hospital fell into the Hands of the Confed- 
 erates. They were very kind to General Fuller, General Price himself be- 
 stowing much personal attention upon him. As soon as General Fuller 
 could be moved with safety, he was sent into the Union lines. 
 
 Part of the retrograde march was over dusty roads, made so by great 
 numbers of wagons and the tramping of thousands of men. The soldiers 
 became so covered with dust, that they were hardly recognizable. About 
 the 15th of November, the weather turned cold and there was much rain. 
 The men carrying their knapsacks suffered a great deal from toil and 
 hardship. The Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth camped at Georgetown, 
 situated in a rolling country, then moved three miles to a new camp at 
 Sedalia, which was at the time the western terminus of the Missouri Pacific 
 Railroad. 
 
 Sedalia, a frontier town, was situated on a flat and swampy prairie, 
 where the small population lived in cheaply constructed houses, without 
 other foundation than blocks of wood. The Thirty-ninth Ohio went into 
 camp at Syracuse. The low. wet camp at Sedalia was soon cut up by the 
 wheels of the artillery, commissary, and ammunition wagon-, and became a 
 quagmire, causing such a great amount of sickness among the soldiers that 
 the surgeons became alarmed. Large numbers of men were sent to tin- 
 hospitals, which at this time were poorly managed.

Retrograde Movement of Army. 43 
 
 The men were furnished large Fremont tents, yet they suffered from 
 the severe weather and exposure during the heavy falls of snow. While 
 standing on picket or on camp guard, a great many had their hands, ears 
 or feet frozen. Details of axemen were sent to the woods for fuel. Some- 
 times large trees were cut down, trimmed and then hauled by six mule 
 wagon teams over the frozen ground, a distance of two miles. Log-heap 
 fires were kept burning in the company streets, around which the soldiers 
 would stand and by turning around and around, could keep warm on one 
 side of their bodies, all of the time. The regimental sutler sold his goods 
 at very high prices, but supplies of home-cooked meats, bread and apple 
 butter, brought in wagons and corn baskets by the farmers were bought 
 much cheaper. It was at Sedalia that the soldiers received their first green- 
 backs issued by the government in payment for their services. 
 
 On November 19th, General Halleck assumed command of the Depart- 
 ment of the Northwest, the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio Regi- 
 ments being attached to the First Brigade. First Division. On December 
 12th, these two regiments were assembled to march with a scouting force, 
 composed of cavalry, artillery and infantry, under command of General 
 John Pope. The troops were supplied with two days' rations, forty rounds 
 of cartridges and extra ammunition in wagons. By forced marches, they 
 covered fourteen miles, the first day. and thirty-five miles on the second 
 day, then went into a camp on a prairie. 
 
 The weather was very cold and the ground was frozen hard, no tents 
 could be pitched. The men slept on prairie brush and corn fodder. It 
 was here that a bushwhacker who had been captured, while attempting to 
 break through the guard, was shot. 
 
 On the 15th. near W'arrensburg. a wagon train was captured, contain- 
 ing supplies for Price's Army. On the 18th. the Twenty-seventh and 
 Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiments, after marching northeasterly, some distance 
 went into camp, but at eight o'clock in the evening, the long roll was 
 sounded, and they were hurriedly formed in ranks and marched forward 
 three miles to Blackwater River. The regiments halted and formed ranks 
 in open order and thirteen hundred rebel prisoners composing General 
 McGoffin's command were marched in between our two lines, and wcrt> 
 guarded back to Sedalia. The distance covered by our troops during this 
 scout, was one hundred miles. 
 
 While out scouting on this expedition, sixty-two men belonging to the 
 Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiments were taken prisoners 
 and made to take an oath not to take up arms against the Southern Con- 
 federacy. They were released on parole, sent to Benton Barracks. St. 
 Louis. Missouri, and from there to Kansas City, where they were mus 
 tered out of the service of the United States by order of General Halleck. 
 
CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 THE GREAT WINTER MARCH TO ST. LOUIS. ADVANCE UPON' NEW MADRID 
 
 AND ISLAND TEN. 
 
 Special Order Number 18. 
 Headquarters, District of Central Missouri, 
 
 Otterville, January 29th, 1862. 
 
 The following movements of troops will be made. First, the Iowa 
 Fifth, the Illinois Forty-seventh, five companies of the Ohio Thirty-ninth 
 and the Eleventh Ohio Battery will march from Syracuse and LaMine to 
 Boonville, Missouri, where Colonel W. H. Worthington will take command 
 and make immediate arrangements to cross the Missouri River with his 
 whole force. Second, the Nebraska First, the Ohio Twenty-seventh, and 
 three companies of Fourth Regular Cavalry, the companies of regular 
 Infantry, and one of the Batteries of the Missouri Light Artillery, at 
 Sedalia, to be designated by Colonel Steel, and Eighth Iowa Volunteers, 
 will take up the line of march immediately for Jefferson City. Third, the 
 nine companies of Merrill's Horse will immediately proceed to Brownsville, 
 
 By order of General John Pope. Commanding. 
 
 On February 3rd. 1862, the order to move was brought to the regi- 
 ment by the Sergeant-Major. and the great march to St. Louis began. 
 Then far and near was heard throughout the camps the sound of drums 
 and bugle calls to assemble. And so with light hearts and heavy knap- 
 sacks, with filled canteens and haversacks, with guns slung over shoulders, 
 with forty rounds of ammunition in the cartridge boxes, our boys trudged 
 away at a good gate, over the snow and rough and frozen roads. Stakes 
 could not be driven to tie the ropes which held up the tents, so that no tents 
 could be used. With the change in the weather, the snow turned to slush, 
 and the roads were so deep with mud that they were almost impassable. 
 The black mud stuck like tar to the shoes of the marching men. Small 
 lakes were formed in the road by the melting snow, and squads of men 
 would scatter and tramp through the fields, or walk on the ties of the rail- 
 road. At night, the men built great fires and dried their wet clothing. 
 Some cut corn stalks and put them by the fire to dry and on this bed lay 
 down to sleep, wrapped in blankets, some on tents spread on the ground 
 or on beds made of bru^h, while others remained in groups shivering 
 around the fire. One cold night, in an open corn field, two boy soldiers 
 routed an old sow ami a litter of pigs from a hole she had made in the 
 ground for protection against the inclemency of the weather. They crept 
 into the hole for warmth and she returned many times during the night, 
 squealing and grunting as if appealing to their humanity. 
 
Winter March to St. Louis. 45 
 
 The last day of the march was over a plank road, a distance of twenty- 
 five miles into St. Louis, which was covered in ten hours. It was the only 
 dry shod marching that was experienced in the whole trip, and was accom- 
 panied by comparatively little fatigue. Many times on the trip, the soldiers 
 exclaim, "From mud we came, to mud we return." 
 
 Part of the army crossed the Missouri river at Boonville, and part at 
 Jefferson City, and followed the route by way of ( Hterville, Columbia, Dan- 
 ville and St. Charles, much of the way over a hilly country. 
 
 This march was a severe one and will never be forgotten by the par- 
 ticipants. The men were compelled frequently to pull the ordinance and 
 supply wagons over the hills by hand. The march consumed seventeen 
 days' time and covered a distance of two hundred and thirty miles. At 
 St. Louis, the glad news was received of the victory at Fort Donaldson. 
 The detached companies joined the command here. 
 
 The regiments expected after the hardships of the march, to remain 
 in more comfortable quarters at Camp Benton barracks to rest, but to their 
 dismay, they were ordered aboard steamers upon which they were conveyed 
 down the Mississippi to Commerce, Missouri, arriving there on the 23rd. 
 The river was at a flood, the land was overflowed, the United States bar- 
 racks at Fort Holt, Kentucky, and Birds Point, Missouri, were afloat and 
 at Cairo, Illinois, the inhabitants were moving from their dwellings through 
 the streets in boats. The strong, muddy current of the river carried away 
 every movable thing, houses, trees, fences, and wreckage of all kinds, and 
 swept them rapidly down stream. 
 
 The steamers which conveyed the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth 
 Ohio regiments down the Mississippi River, were crowded and carried a 
 cargo of munitions of war that fully tested their capacities. But the three 
 days' rest afforded the men by this trip of one hundred miles on the river, 
 compensated in a measure for their close quarters and poor accommo- 
 dations. 
 
 At the debarkation of the regiments at Commerce, Missouri, forty 
 miles above Cairo, all ambulances, army wagons and artillery were taken off 
 the boat in pieces and were regeared, put together and the wagons reloaded 
 with supplies. The regiments moved hack from the river two miles and 
 pitched their tents in the woods. The army of the North-west was here 
 merged with part of the Army of the Mississippi. 
 
 On February 25th. 1862, at Commerce, Missouri, the Forty-third 
 Ohio and the Sixty-third Ohio Regiments were joined with the Twenty- 
 seventh and Thirty-ninth. The four regiments composed Fuller's Ohio 
 Brigade ( Hrst ). On the 22nd. the Brigade was assigned to General Schuy-

 THE CAPTURE OF NEW MADRID AND ISLAND TEN. 
 
 On February 28th, the Brigade commenced a march of fifty miles, 
 through low swampy lands, where the cottonwood and cypress trees and 
 the mistletoe grew in great profusion, and into the gloom of the "sunk 
 country" to Xew .Madrid. New Madrid was effected by the earthquakes 
 of 1811 and 1812. At that time the earth rolled in waves, opened with 
 loud explosions, formed lakes and crevasses, and drained the Mississippi 
 River, submerging the land. The boasts of the rebel Generals Polk, Pillow.

 and Thompson, thai they would capture Cairo and St. Louis, were frus- 
 trated by the occupancy of this territory. At the crossing of the Bird's 
 Point Railroad, there was a skirmish with )^t'i Thompson's Cavalry, a small 
 force of the enemy's command was captured by our advance, together with 
 three one pounder guns, breach loaders, each drawn by a mule. This 
 was termed by our young soldiers the "jackass battery," and Lieutenant 
 Zenn said : "The mule seems as glad to see the Yankees as the colored 
 people are." 
 
 In the movement upon Xew .Madrid, the Forty-third and Sixty-third 
 led in the advance of the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio on the first 
 day. The sandy roads and heavy knapsacks, made the men feel keenly 
 their first lessons in real soldiering, and many knapsacks were unloaded. 
 
 i !HARGE TIIKi U'CIl CORNFIELD.

Capture of New Madrid and Island Ten. 49 
 
 On reaching the enemy's outpost, on the afternoon of March 3rd. with the 
 Twenty-seventh in advance, muskets were loaded, and the regiments which 
 were deployed as skirmishers advanced. Hogs were feeding on the corn- 
 fields, shells were bursting overhead and in the rear, filling the air with 
 sizzling missiles, then striking the ground with a thud. One of the soldiers 
 picked up an unexploded shell and carried it to a fire. The shell exploded 
 and tore him to pieces. 
 
 On March 3rd, the Ohio Brigade in advance, arrived at Xew Madrid, 
 halting in a corn field, half a mile from town. The Confederates fired from 
 their gun boats on the Mississippi River and also from their fort on the 
 river bank at Madrid Landing. Toward night, the Brigade fell back a 
 short distance, to a camp in the woods. Temporarily, the First (Demi) 
 Brigade with the Twenty-seventh under command of Colonel John W. 
 Fuller and the Thirty-ninth under command of Major Edward F. Noys 
 was commanded by Colonel John Groesbeck. The Second Brigade with 
 the Forty-third under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Wager Swayne, and 
 the Sixty-third under command of John W. Sprague, was commanded by 
 Colonel J. L. Kirby Smith. March 4th, General D. S. Stanley assumed 
 command of the First Division. 
 
 Keeping a strong picket in front, preparations were now made to cap- 
 ture the fort. At two o'clock on the morning of March 13th, the men 
 supplied with rations and blankets, were formed for the purpose of sup- 
 porting a large siege gun which had been planted within five hundred yards 
 of the enemy's position, and also for the purpose of relieving a regiment 
 then lying in rifle pits. The enemy observed this movement, and instantly 
 began firing volleys, while the heavy guns from the fort opened with a tre- 
 mendous fire of shell and solid shot. One cannon ball, bounding along, 
 cut off the legs of three boys, members of the Twenty-seventh Ohio Regi- 
 ment, who were in one file, marching forward with military precision. 
 
 Considering the awful fire they were under for four days, in exposed 
 positions, it is a matter of great astonishment that there were no more 
 casualties and that half the men engaged were not either killed or wounded. 
 The air was full of shot and shell, striking the trees, scattering the limbs 
 around, and plowing up the earth in different places. There were many 
 narrow escapes in the four regiments. In one case, a piece of shell struck 
 a soldier's gun, twisting it out of shape, and whirling the soldier around and 
 around, so that he was badly hurt. These great shells flying through the 
 air with a singing sound, the soldiers called by such names as "camp ket- 
 tles" or "humming birds." 
 
 Our men lay flat upon the ground during most of the firing, until it 
 ceased at about eight o'clock in the evening. During that time the Union 
 Batteries were in action and succeeded in dismantling some of the enemy's 
 
50 Fuller's ' )hio Brigade. 
 
 guns, and injuring their gunboats. One of our large siege guns named 
 "Uncle Sam" made the earth tremble at every discharge. A violent thunder 
 storm came up and continued during the night, soaking the men's clothing, 
 and making things generally uncomfortable. At daylight, while the troops 
 were standing, waiting in mud and water, it was discovered that the enemy 
 had evacuated their fort on the river bank, leaving twenty-five heavy guns 
 and a large quantity of army stores. 
 
 At New Madrid, the supply of drinking water was obtained by digging 
 in the black sand. In these shallow wells, the water was so bad and so 
 rily that after standing a short time in a camp kettle an inch or two of 
 slime and sand could be found. Charles I. Adkins, of Company K. of the 
 twenty-seventh Ohio said that it was safe to believe that during our six 
 weeks* stay in Xew .Madrid, each man swallowed enough dirt to give his 
 stomach a concrete lining. 
 
 An incident occurred at Xew Madrid which shows the feeling and 
 conduct of some of the regular army officers toward the volunteer sol- 
 dier. One day the Orderly Sergeant of Company K, Twenty-seventh Ohio, 
 ordered Privates C. I. Adkins and Thomas Chambers, to go with Antone, 
 the Mexican teamster, and get a load of rails. As they were returning 
 perched on top of the load, General Pope drove up to them in his ambu- 
 lance and asked them with an oath what command they belonged to. 
 Without giving them time to answer, he ordered them to get into the ambu- 
 lance with him, and told the teamster to take the rails back and put them 
 on the fence again. Then with a blast of words to his driver, ordered him 
 to go to the Forty-third Ohio Regiment, and without any explanation, told 
 
 Colonel Swayne to put "these " in the guard house until they could 
 
 be court-martialed and shot as an example to the rest of the" 
 
 Volunteer ." And to make an impression, he repeated this several 
 
 times. It is indeed singular, with the soldiers' war experience, that officers 
 of such acknowledged ability as General Pope and others, did not compre- 
 hend the Volunteer's patriotism nor his comfort. Taking rails was not a 
 crime, but protecting the enemy's property of that kind, wa- a crime. Every 
 old soldier knows that during the last two years of the war. the taking of 
 rails to build tires to cook over, or the using of rails to sleep upon, or to 
 make corduroy roads, was especially commended by those in authority. 
 
 The evacutaion of Xew Madrid was forced by General Pope's troops 
 blockading the western side of the Mississippi River, twelve miles below, 
 at Point Pleasant. The Confederates still held Island Ten, and the eastern 
 shores with no way to retreat except by river or through almost im- 
 passable swamps. Perceiving his defect in the enemy's position, Pope pro- 
 ceeded with promptness and ability to take advantage of the situation, but

 he could not cross the river below Island Ten without the aid of gunboats 
 to silence the enemy's batteries opposite Point Pleasant. 
 
 ( in the night of April 4th. the gunboat "Carondelet" ran past the rebel 
 batteries at Island Ten, starting at ten o'clock, after the moon had gone 
 down and the sky, the earth and the river were alike hidden in the black 
 shadows of a thunder storm. Arriving at New Madrid at midnight, the 
 crew was most heartily received by the army. 
 
 On Sunday the 6th of April, General Gordon Granger, Colonel J. L. 
 Kirby Smith, with other officers on board, made a reconnaissance to Tip- 
 tonville, and returning, captured and spiked the guns of a rebel battery op- 
 posite Point Pleasant. 
 
 On April 7th, several transports passed the slough or bayou, which 
 had been cleared of trees and stumps for a distance of twelve miles. On 
 the same day, the gunboat "Pittsburg'' ran the gauntlet safely. The 
 Brigade marched on board the steamers "Trio" and "Gilmore," lying at 
 the upper Madrid Fort and were conveyed down the Mississippi six miles 
 to Watson's Landing, Kentucky. There the troops disembarked after the

 gunboats had driven the enemy from the rifle pits, and had knocked the 
 siege guns over into the ditch. They then marched on the Tiptonville Road, 
 bivouacking long after dark and lying on their arms till daylight. 
 
 The next day, pursuit of the enemy was continued, past deserted camps 
 containing tents still standing and cooked rations left upon the ground. 
 Army blankets and stores were found strewn along the road, left by the 
 enemy. After marching fourteen miles, the Brigade arrived at Tiptonville, 
 Tennessee, and witnessed the surrender of seven thousand well-dressed and 
 uniformed Confederate soldiers, including three Generals and ten Colonels. 
 The captures included seven thousand small arms and accoutrements. The 
 prisoners were sent up the river. 
 
 After these encouraging successes, the Brigade marched up the River 
 Road to a point opposite Island Ten. They stacked arms, and rested in an 
 extensive camp, recently abandoned by the enemy, which had been a depot 
 of supplies. The captures were five million rations, great quantities of 
 ammunition, bread, bacon, sugar, one gunboat, three transports, one iron- 
 clad ram. and one hundred and twenty-three pieces of heavy artillery and 
 thirty-five pieces of field artillery of modern pattern. On the same day, 
 the Brigade marched to the landing, embarked on steamers and returned to 
 New Madrid and to their camp where they remained until the 12th.

 ] have the honor to submit for the information of the general com- 
 manding tlu- department the following report of the operations which re- 
 sulted in the capture of this place. 
 
 1 arrived before the town with the forces under my command on 
 Monday the 3rd instant. I found the place occupied by five regiments of 
 infantry and several companies of artillery. ( )ne bastioned earthwork, 
 mounting fourteen guns, about a half mile below the town, and another 
 irregular work at the upper end of the town, mounting seven pieces of 
 heavy artillery, together with lines of intrenchments between them, con- 
 stituted the defensive works. Six gunboats carrying from four to eight 
 heavy guns each, were anchored along the shore between the upper and 
 lower redoubts. The country is perfectly level for miles around the place, 
 and the river was so high that the guns of the gunboats looked directly 
 over the banks. The approaches to the town for several miles were com- 
 manded by direct and cross fire by at least sixty guns of heavy caliber. It 
 would not have been difficult to carrv the intrenchments. but it would have 
 been attended with heavy loss and we should not have been able to hold 
 the place for half an hour exposed to the destructive fire of the gunboats. 
 It seemed necessary to bring down a few heavy guns by land to operate 
 against those of the enemy. They were sent for and meanwhile forced 
 reconnaissances were pushed over the whole ground ami into several parts 
 of the town. * * The enemy invariably retreated precipitately. I de- 
 
 termined to occupy some point on the river below and establish our small 
 guns, if possible in such a position as to blockade the river and to cut off 
 supplies and re-enforcements for the enemy from below. Point Pleasant, 
 twelve miles below was selected, it being the terminus of a plank road from 
 the interior. 1 accordingly threw forward Colonel Plummer, Eleventh Mis- 
 souri, to that point with three regiment- of infantry, three companies of 
 cavalry, and a field batten of ten-pound Parrot and rifle guns, with orders 
 to make a lodgment on the river bank, to line the rifle pit- with one thou- 
 sand men. and to establish his artillery in sunk batteries of single pieces 
 between rifle pit-. The arrangement was made to present as -mall a mark 
 a- possible to the shells of the gunboat, and to render futile the use oi 
 round shot from their heavy gun-. Colonel Plummer marched with all 
 -peed. After some cannonading from gunboats, he succeeded in making a 
 lodgment, constructed and occupied the work-. The river 
 
 was blockaded during the rest of our operation-. The enemy continued 
 to reinforce Xcw Madrid from Maud Ten until March 12th. They had

 nine thousand infantry, considerable artillery and nine gunboats. On the 
 12th, our siege guns reached here and were placed in battery within eight 
 hundred yards of the enemy's works and opened fire at daylight on the 
 13th. A detail was made to work in the trenches, supported bv Stanley's 
 Division, consisting of the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio under 
 Colonel Groesbeck, and the Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio under Colonel 
 Smith. Captain Mower, First United States Infantry with Companies A 
 and H was placed in command of the siege guns. The enemv fired several 
 volleys of musketry, but was driven in. * * Our guns were served with 
 
 vigor and skill and in a few hours disabled several of the gunboats and dis- 
 mounted several of the heavy guns in the enemy's main works. One of 
 our twenty-four pound guns was struck in the muzzle bv a round shot from 
 the enemy's batteries and was disabled. The cannonading was continued 
 furiously all day by the gunboats and land batteries of the enemy without 
 producing any impression upon us. Meantime our trenches were being ex- 
 tended and advanced. ***** 
 
 A furious thunder storm began to rage about eleven o'clock that night 
 and continued without intermission until morning. Just before daylight, 
 General Stanley was relieved in the trenches with his Division bv Gen- 
 eral Hamilton. A few minutes after daylight a flag of truce approached 
 our batteries with information that the enemy had evacuated his works. 
 Companies A and H, First United States Infantry were sent forward to 
 plant the United States flag over their abandoned works. The flight of the 
 enemy had been hasty and precipitate. Their dead were found unburied, 
 their suppers untouched, candles were burning in the tents, and there was 
 every other evidence of a disgraceful panic. All their artillery, siege guns, 
 field batteries, magazines filled with fixed ammunition, tents for an army 
 of ten thousand men, horses, mules, intrenching tools are among the spoils 
 left in our hands. The enemy's guns were immediately turned upon the 
 river which they completely command. The flight of the enemy was so 
 hasty that they abandoned their pickets and gave no intimation to their 
 forces at Island Ten, consequently one gunboat and ten large steamers which 
 were there, are cut off from below, and must either be destroyed or fall into 
 our hands. 
 
 Island Ten must also be evacuated as it can neither be re-inforced nor 
 supplied from below. During the operations here, the whole of the forces 
 were at different times brought under the fire of the enemy and behaved 
 themselves with great coolness and gallantry. It seems proper however, 
 that I should make special mention of those more directly concerned in 
 the final operations against the place. The division of General Stanley, 
 consisting of the Twenty-seventh. Thirty-ninth. Forty-third and Sixty- 
 third ( >hio Regiments, supported the battery from two o'clock in the morn-

 ing of the 13th to daylight of the 14th, exposed to the full fury of the 
 cannonade, without being able to return a shot, during the severe storm 
 of that night, and displayed coolness, courage and fortitude worthy of all 
 praise. In fact the conduct of all the troops in this command so far ex- 
 ceeded my expectations that I was astonished and delighted and feel very 
 safe in predicting for them a brilliant career in arms. 
 
 Our whole loss during the operations was fifty-one killed and wounded.

Capture of New Madrid vnd Island Ten. 57 
 
 Report of General John Pope. 
 
 Headquarters. Army of the Mississippi. 
 Camp five miles from Corinth, Miss.. May 2nd, 1862. 
 
 General: 
 
 I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations which 
 resulted in the capture of Island Ten and the batteries on the main shore, 
 together with the whole of the land forces of the enemy in that vicinity. 
 A brief sketch of the topography of the immediate neighborhood, seems es- 
 sential to the full understanding of the army. 
 
 Island Ten lies at the bottom of a great bend of the Mississippi River, 
 immediately North of it being a long, narrow promontory on the Mississippi 
 shore. The River from Island Ten flows northwest to Xew Madrid, where 
 it again makes a great bend to the south, as far as Tiptonville, otherwise 
 called Merriwether's Landing, so that opposite Xew Madrid also, is a long 
 narrow promontory. From Island Eight across the land to New Madrid 
 is six miles, while by river it is fifteen : so likewise the distance from Island 
 Ten to Tiptonville is five miles, while by water it is twenty-seven. 
 
 Commencing at Hickman, a great swamp, which afterward becomes 
 Reelfoot Lake, extends along the left bank of the Mississippi and discharges 
 is waters into the River, forty miles below Tiptonville, leaving the whole 
 penninsula opposite New Madrid between it and the river. This peninsula 
 therefore, is itself an island, having the Mississippi River on three sides, 
 and Reelfoot Lake and the great swamps which border it on the other. 
 A good road leads from Island Ten along the west bank of Reelfoot Lake 
 to Tiptonville. The only means of supply therefore, for the forces at and 
 around Island Ten in this peninsula, was by the river. When the river was 
 blockaded at New Madrid, supplies and re-inforcements were landed at 
 Tiptonville and conveyed across the neck of the peninsula by land. There 
 was no communication with the interior except by small flat boats plied 
 across Reelfoot Lake, a distance of two miles, and that through an open- 
 ing cut through cypress swamps for the purpose. Supplies and re-inforce- 
 ments or escape to any considerable extent were therefore impracticable 
 on the land side. One mile below Tiptonville began the great swamps along 
 the Mississippi on both sides, and no dry ground is to be found except in 
 occasional spots, for at least sixty miles below. By intercepting the navi- 
 gation of the river below Tiptonville and commanding by heavy artillery 
 the lowest point of dry ground near the place, the enemy would be at once 
 cut off from his resources and prevented from escaping. The roads along 
 the river in the direction of Point Pleasant followed a narrow strip of dry 
 land between the swamps and the river, and were very miry and difficult. 
 
58 Fuller's < >hio Brigade. 
 
 With much labor the heavy guns captured at New Madrid from the enemy 
 were dragged by hand and established in battery at several points, and ex 
 tending my lines seventeen miles along the river, the lower battery being 
 placed immediately opposite the lowest point of dry ground below Tipton- 
 ville. The enemy attempted in ever) way to prevent their construction 
 and were therefore in every ease established at night. * * Five gun- 
 
 boats, therefore, at once advanced against the battery, which consisted of 
 twenty four-pound siege guns and two ten-pound Parrots. * 
 Their gunboats were repulsed with a loss of one gunboat sunk and many 
 men shot down by our sharp shooters from the rifle pits. From this time 
 all communication from below with the forces near Island Ten was cut 
 off. * * * On March 16, T received your dispatch directing me if 
 
 possible, to cut a road through the swamps to a point on the Missouri shore 
 opposite Island Ten and transfer a portion of my force sufficient to erect 
 batteries at that point, and to assist in the artillery practice on the enemy's 
 batteries. * * * * I directed Colonel Bissell's engineer regiment to 
 build a mad through the swamps and overflow of the river, to dig a canal 
 across the peninsula from some point above Island Ten to New Madrid in 
 order that steam transports might be brought to me which would enable 
 me to cross the river and assail the enemy's batteries near Island Ten in the 
 rear. The work was beyond measure difficult. The canal is twelve miles 
 long, six miles of which is through heavy timber. An avenue fifty feet 
 wide was made through it by sawing off trees of large size, four and one- 
 half feel under water. * :;: It was completed on the 4th of April, after 
 privations and exposures very unusual even in the history of warfare. * * * 
 The enemy anticipating our movements, had erected batteries along the 
 east shore from Island Ten entirely around to Tiptonville, at every point 
 where troops could be landed. The difficulty of crossing the river in force 
 had therefore greatly increased. * The passage of a great river 
 lined with batteries and in the face of the enemy, is one of the most 
 hazardous and difficult operations of war and cannot he justified except in 
 case of urgent necessity. * Though full of peril, the movement 
 was throroughly understood by my whole command; there was not an 
 officer nor man who was not anxious to be placed in the advance. 
 Floating batteries were made by lashing three coal barges together and 
 bolted with iron carrying three heavy guns and eighty sharp shooters. 
 ( )n the 5th of April, the steamers and barges were brought near 
 to the mouth of the bayou which discharges into the Mississippi at New 
 Madrid. * * * * On the night of the 4th of \pril, the gunboat 
 'Carondelet" ran the batteries at Kland Ten. On the morning 
 of tiie 6th, I sent Captain Marshall of my staff, and other officers, to 
 make a reconnaissance of the river below, and requested Captain Wilke to 
 
Capture of New Madrid and Island Ten. 59 
 
 take them on board the "Carondelet," and run down the river to ascertain 
 precisely the character of the bank and the position and number of the en- 
 emy's batteries. The "Carondelet" steamed down the river 
 in the midst of a heavy fire from the enemy's batteries along the shore. 
 On her return up the river. Captain Wilke silenced the enemy's guns 
 opposite Point Pleasant, and a small force of infantry landed and spiked 
 their guns. On the night of the 6th, at my urgent request, Commodore 
 Foot ordered the "Pittsburg" also to run down to Xew Madrid. She 
 arrived at daylight and like the "Carondelet" came through untouched. 
 * * * I directed that two gunboats proceed down the river on 
 the 7th and if possible silence the batteries near Watson's Landing, the 
 point which had been selected to land the troops, and at the same time, 
 I brought three steamers into the river and embarked Paine's Division. 
 The land batteries were ordered to open their hre upon the enemy's 
 batteries opposite. The two gunboats ran down the river and joined 
 in the action. * ( )ur troops moved out from the landing and 
 began crossing the river, preceded by the gunboats. * The 
 whole force designed to cross had been drawn up along the river bank and 
 saluted the passing steamers with cheers of exultation. * * * * The 
 enemy commenced to evacuate his position along the banks and the batteries 
 along the Tennessee shore opposite Island Ten. toward Tiptonville. It 
 was my purpose to capture the whole army of the enemy. The 
 Division pushed forward to Tiptonville as fast as they were landed. 
 * The enemy retreating from Island Ten, met at Tiptonville 
 during the night, in great confusion, and were driven back into the swamps 
 by the advance of our forces, until four o'clock in the morning of the 8th. 
 when finding themselves completely cut off, and being apparently unable to 
 resist, they laid down their arms and surrendered at discretion. 
 As soon as day dawned, our forces preceded by marches to the enemy's 
 abandoned works opposite Island Ten on the Tennessee Shore. 
 There fell into our hands, three Generals, two hundred and seventy-three 
 field and company officers, sixty-seven hundred privates, one hundred and 
 twenty-three pieces of heavy artillery, thirty-five pieces of field artillery 
 tall of the best character and latest patterns) seven thousand stand of 
 small arms, tents for twelve thousand men and several wharf boats, loads 
 of ammunition, an immense quantity of provisions of all kinds, many 
 hundred horses and mules, with wagons and harness. We have 
 crossed this great river, we have pursued and captured the whole force of 
 the enemy and all his supplies, and have again recrossed and re-occupied 
 the camps at Xew Madrid without losing a man or meeting with an acci- 
 dent. Such results bespeak efficiency, good conduct, high discipline, and 
 soldierly deportment of the best character, far more conclusive than can be

 ( hi February 22nd. 18(>2. at Commerce, Missouri, in compliance with 
 your orders, I organized the First Division of this army. First Brigade 
 under Colonel Groesbeck. Thirty-ninth Ohio, Major Noyes commanding; 
 Forty-third, Colonel Smith commanding; Twenty-seventh, Colonel Fuller, 
 commanding; Second Brigade, Colonel J. B. Plumber, commanding, com- 
 posed of the Sixty-third ( Ihio. Colonel Sprague, Twenty-sixth Illinois,

 Cavalry, detachment First Missouri Infantry, two companies of Engineer 
 Troops and Eleventh Ohio Battery. 
 
 The Division marched from Commerce, Missouri, on February 28th. 
 and reached Hunter's Farm at midnight. On March 2nd. the Forty-third 
 ( )hio and Seventh Illinois Cavalry made a daring reconnaissance penetrat- 
 ing into the town of New Madrid. On the 3rd the First Division reached 
 the town, advancing within three quarters of a mile of the enemy's entrench- 
 ments, Kellog's Cavalry covering the flanks. Colonel Fuller's Twenty- 
 seventh Ohio deployed as skirmishers supported by a section of Sand's 
 Eleventh < )hio Battery, followed by the whole Division. The enemy's 
 pickets were gallantly driven in by the Twenty-seventh Ohio Infantry. The 
 Thirty-ninth was advanced as skirmishers on the right flank and were 
 pushed forward on a line with the Twenty-seventh to within one and a 
 quarter miles of the enemy's principal works. The Forty-third < tfiio in 
 line of battle supported the Twentv-sevenlh ( )hio and protected the left Hank 
 of the Division. The enemy withdrew to his entrenchments but kept up 
 unremitting fire of shot and shell from five gunboats and from his works.

 twenty-four pounder shot, shell from thirty-two pounders and sixty-four 
 pounders, besides missiles from guns of smaller caliber. The troops unable 
 to reply, evinced a calmness and steadiness worthy of veterans. 
 
 Brigadier-General Stanley arrived in camp on the evening of the 3rd. 
 On the 4th, a re-organization of the Division was made. General Stanley, 
 being from Ohio, the Ohio Regiments passed from under my command. 
 Having had evidence of their gallantry and coolness under fire and feeling 
 grateful for the cheerfulness with which both officers and men had re- 
 sponded to my efforts to enforce discipline and excite their ardor, I parted 
 from them with regret. On the night of the 4th, the Forty-third (Ohio. 
 Worthington's Battery of four guns, five companies of the Fifth Iowa, two 
 companies of the Fifty-ninth Indiana, drove the enemy's pickets and opened 
 fire on his position. On the 6th, Point Pleasant was occupied by our forces. 
 On the 7th, 9th and 13th demonstrations were made by Stanley's Division. 
 On the 14th, at two o'clock in the morning, in pouring rain, the troops knee 
 deep in mud, prepared for assaulting the enemy's works, moving steadily 
 forward. At six o'clock in the morning, the enemy had evacuated his fort.

 Report of Brigadier-General D. S. Stanley. 
 
 In reporting the part taken by the First Division of this Army, in 
 compelling the surrender of Island Ten, I have the honor to state that I 
 was assigned to the command of the Division of the 4th of March, 1862. 
 On the same night a detachment of five hundred men commanded by 
 Colonel J. L. Kirby Smith of the Forty-third Ohio Volunteers made a re- 
 connaissance in force and after cannonading the town and forts for half an 
 hour, retired to their camp without loss. On the 6th of the same month, 
 my entire Division consisting of the First Brigade with Colonel Groesbeck 
 commanding, and the Second Brigade with Colonel J. L. Kirby Smith com- 
 manding, by order of the Major-General commanding, pushed our way into 
 the town of New Madrid to within seven hundred yards of the upper fort, 
 driving the enemy's infantry. But at this point, finding ourselves under a 
 cross fire of seven gunboats and the guns of both their forts, I deemed it 
 proper to withdraw my troops. We were for half an hour under a fierce 
 cannonade, and strange to say, I suffered only three wounded. On the 7th 
 of April, my Division accompanied by Dee's Michigan Battery, crossed the 
 
62 I i i i er's ( Hi mi Brigade. 
 
 Mississippi from the upper fort immediately after the crossing of General 
 Paine's Division. Waiting for the head of General Hamilton's Division. 
 we took up the march before his arrival, and moved by the river route to- 
 ward Tiptonville, twelve miles away. Deserted camps and abandoned artil- 
 lerv indicated a flying enemy. Night was coming on very dark and the guide 
 being uncertain of the route, the command was bivouacked until morning, 
 when the enemy surrendered. Subsequently on the same day, we crossed 
 Madrid Bend to Island Ten, covering the road seven miles perpendicular 
 to the main road with skirmishers. We picked up forty prisoners. All the 
 houses were full of the enemy's sick, and cannon, ammunition, tents, and 
 various materials of war were found scattered through the bend. These 
 we had no means to move.

 New Madrid, March 15th, 1862. 
 
 1 have the honor to report to the General commanding the First Divis- 
 ion, the part taken in the late action before Xew Madrid, by the Brigade 
 under my command, consisting of the Twenty-seventh, and the Thirty-ninth 
 Ohio Regiments. On the afternoon of the 12th inst.. 1 detailed companies 
 A and 1*" of the Twenty-seventh and I and H of the Thirty-ninth to drive in 
 the pickets of the enemy, hold an advance position and cover the parties 
 detailed to plant our heavy artillery. They drove in the pickets and took 
 the position assigned them, within eight hundred yards of the enemy's gun- 
 boats and principal fort. At three o'clock on the morning of the 13th, I 
 moved forward with my Brigade and took position on the right of the bat- 
 terv. The enemy's skirmishers immediately began firing upon us, but with- 
 out injury. A few moments afterwards our artillery opened the engage- 
 ment. The brigade was ordered hack two hundred yards, which it did in 
 good order under a heavy tire of shot and shell from the guns of the fort. 
 While lying there, five companies of the Twenty-seventh Ohio were ordered 
 three hundred yards to the left on a road leading past the enemy's fort and 
 took position supporting the battery, where the sloping hank of a bayou

 afforded considerable protection to the men who remained thus placed and 
 guarded against any flank movement during the rest of the day. At day- 
 light, we were relieved. The firing ceased about sunset. Having thrown 
 out an additional company of pickets. Considering the closeness and rapidity 
 of the firing, the casualties were remarkably few, viz., one killed, three 
 severely wounded in the Twenty-seventh, and one very slightly wounded in 
 the Thirty-ninth Ohio. 
 
 On the morning of the 7th of April, the Brigade under my command, 
 consisting of the Twenty-seventh, and Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiments and 
 Infantry, embarked on the transports, "Trio" and "Fanny Gilmore." After 
 crossing the Mississippi, we marched six miles toward Tiptonville and biv- 
 ouacked. Xext morning we marched eight miles to Tiptonville and on ar- 
 riving there found that the whole rebel force had surrendered to Brigadier- 
 General Paine. After mid-day, I detailed four companies of the Twenty- 
 seventh and three of the Thirty-ninth Regiments under Major Noyes to 
 deploy as skirmishers and scour the country between Tiptonville and 
 Island Ten. This was done and a number of prisoners were taken. The 
 night of the 8th, we bivouaced at Island Ten. The next morning we 
 took the transport "Graham" for camp at New Madrid.

 April 17th, 1862. 
 
 I have the honor to submit the following report of the movements of 
 this Brigade at the capture of the rebel position at and near Island Ten. 
 
 The Forty-third Ohio Infantry, Lieutenant-Colonel Wager Swayne 
 and the Sixty-third Ohio Infantry, Colonel J. W. Sprague, crossed the river 
 on the morning of the 7th instant, embarking at the upper fort at New 
 Madrid and landing at the site of the three gun rebel battery just captured 
 by our gunboats, and took a position in a wood near an abandoned encamp- 
 ment of two regiments, apparently recently evacuated. Twenty men were 
 placed as a guard over the property here and a few prisoners, who, being 
 sick or intoxicated, had failed to escape with the enemy. A companv was 
 
64 li i i er's ( >hio Brigade. 
 
 sent back to the landing to render assistance and support to the rifled bat- 
 tery of Captain Dee*s which had crossed with us. We had remained in this 
 position about an hour, until joined by the other brigade of the division, the 
 First, Colonel Groesbeck, and then moved in the direction of Tiptonville, to 
 the support of General Paine. The Brigade bivouacked about an hour after 
 dark at a point near the river, and about eight miles below where the land- 
 ing had been made. 
 
 The march to Tiptonville was resumed in the morning and the Brigade 
 reached there about noon ; the enemy had already surrendered without fight- 
 ing, to our army, and the Brigade was placed in position as a part of the 
 guard of the prisoners. Two hours later the Brigade was put in march for 
 the late position of the enemy, opposite Island number Ten. On the march 
 thither the country between the road and the river was thoroughly beaten 
 by a strong line of skirmishers under Lieutenant-Colonel Swayne, and sev- 
 eral prisoners were taken. The Brigade bivouacked opposite Island number 
 Ten, about five o'clock in the afternoon. On the morning of the 9th instant, 
 the Brigade was moved, with the rest of the Division, by transports, to New 
 Madrid, and resumed its former encampment.

 Camp near New Madrid. Missouri, March 14th, 1862. 
 
 I have the honor to report that the Sixty-third Regiment, O. V. I., 
 under my command, in obedience to your orders, left camp about three 
 o'clock, Thursday morning, the 13th instant and marched about three miles 
 to a point, say, southwest of the town of New Madrid, and distant about 
 one mile, and was there deployed in line of battle, along the road, by your 
 order, as part of the support of a battery, planted by our troops, say, one 
 hundred rods in advance of our line. Almost immediately after taking this 
 position, the guns of our battery opened fire upon the fort and gunboats of 
 the enemy, to which they replied with shot and shell. As soon as the 
 enemy's gunboats obtained their chosen position, it was found that the posi- 
 tion of the regiment under my command was exposed to the cross fire of ai 
 least one gunboat and the lower and the principal fort of the enemy. By 
 
Capture of New Madrid and Island Ten. 65 
 
 your order, I moved my regiment forward about twenty-five rods in line of 
 battle and baited along the base of a very slight elevation. While this new 
 position did not remove my command from exposure to the cross-fire men- 
 tioned, the elevation afforded a partial protection. The fire of the enemy 
 continued during the entire day with occasional intermission. At night the 
 fire of the enemy ceased, but about midnight, we were visited by a terrific 
 storm of rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Our little trench 
 immediately filled with water and all were soaked by the falling rain. At 
 daylight next morning we were relieved, having occupied the position over 
 twenty-four hours exposed to a galling fire and the inclemency of the 
 weather. 
 
 I have no casualities to report except that of one man. Private Thomas 
 King of Company H, commanded by Captain Jackson. 
 
 In conclusion I beg to say that every officer and man under my com- 
 mand behaved with coolness and courage, not a single word of complaint 
 was made of hardship or fatigue. Every order given by me was promptly 
 obeyed and executed, nothwithstanding the harrassing fire of the enemy. 
 
 I am very respectfully, your obedient servant,

 REMINISCENCES — FONT I'll. Low EXPEDITION — TRANSFER OF THE ARMY TO 
 HAMBURG LANDING, TENNESSEE. 
 
 The soldiers of the army were now priding themselves upon their 
 efficiency and accomplishments. There was a noticeable rivalry among the 
 different organizations as to their superiority in drill, marching, and fight- 
 ing. No true soldier need apologize for the honest pride with which he 
 believes that his own company, regiment, brigade, division, or corps is the 
 flower of the army and is peerless in discipline and courage. During the 
 war, that faith is so important a condition of success that he would be an 
 unwise commander who would discourage it. All felt its influence for there 
 was none who did not feel a deeper thrill of pride and pleasure when he 
 saw his own flag moving in the front, than when another flag floated over 
 the advancing host. So it was in the Ohio Brigade as in other commands. 
 
 A soldier of the Forty-third Ohio often tells this story at the Brigade 
 reunions : 
 
 "I had been left behind, when our regiment left camp in Ohio and 
 started to join my regiment at New Madrid. Arriving near there after 
 marching on foot all the way from Commerce, I sat down by the road side, 
 exhausted. I was soon joined by a very ragged soldier of the Twenty- 
 seventh Ohio who sympathized with me. After having told him that I was 
 never so tired in my life and that it seemed that I could not carry my knap- 
 sack any further, he said to me : 'You will never be able to carry that big 
 knapsack on the long marches which we are soon to have. We started out 
 that way in Missouri, but we found out that the better way was to carry a 
 light knapsack and throw away everything but our blankets.' It was a 
 powerful argument just then, but I had carried it so far, and I was now so 
 near the regiment, that I felt loath to part with any treasure. I opened my 
 knapsack, took out a pair of army trousers and laid them near my new 
 friend. In an instant, he had cast off his old ones and put on mine. The 
 more than tw e nty - five yards, and directed Major W e b e r, in caro the - Sixty - 
 same thing took place with my extra pair of stockings, blouse, shirt and 
 shoes. We two then walked into camp. I noticed that his comrades would 
 grin when they saw him. and would ask him where he got his new clothes. 
 He answered them by saying, 'For giving a recruit sound advice!' I will 
 never forget how quickly that soldier got into my new clothes." 
 
 At Xew Madrid, the Forty-third Ohio gained for itself the name and 
 fame of the "Martin Box" Regiment, because of the fact that some of the 
 men nailed cracker boxes on the cotton-wood trees, where the birds flocked. 
 took refuge and nested. Ever afterward, the word "Martin Box" from 
 any soldier of the Brigade was a pass-port for a cordial greeting. 
 
68 Fuller's < >hio Brigade. 
 
 The victories at Island Ten and New Madrid, General Halleck pro- 
 nounced splendid achievements, that would be memorable in military his- 
 tory, exceeding as they did in boldness and brilliancy all other operations 
 of the war up to this time. 
 
 < >n the 13th of April, the Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth. Forty-third 
 and Sixty-third Ohio Regiments with General Pope's Army, embarked on 
 thirty steamboats at a point one mile below New Madrid, at Fort Thomp- 
 son, and in co-operation with the gunboat fleet, consisting of twelve mor- 
 tar boats and seven gunboats, moved down the Mississippi River, one hun- 
 dred and twenty miles, in an expedition against Fort Pillow, disembarking 
 at t )seola, Arkansas, a low swampy place. Here the soldiers had an op- 
 portunity to wash themselves and their clothing and to fight to a finish, for 
 the time being at least, the great army plague, an insect known as the gray- 
 back, a fiend which infected clothing. These insects became so numerous, 
 vicious, ravenous that they almost ate the shirts from the soldiers' backs. 
 Millions were destroyed by boiling the clothing in the camp kettles, the 
 same utensils that were used for cooking. The crowded condition of the 
 transports which gave no opportunities for the soldiers to change their 
 clothing, was the direct cause of this infection. On land came the scourge 
 of swamp mosquitoes, locally known as "galnippers." They bit the soldiers 
 and even killed horses and mules.

 On April 17th, the army re-embarked on transports and were ordered 
 up the Mississippi, ( )hio and Tennessee Rivers a distance of three hundred 
 and fifty miles. They disembarked at Hamburg Landing on the 22nd of 
 April, just above the battle field of Pittsburg Landing, where were seen the 
 long rows of newly made graves of the heroes who fell at Shiloh. 
 
 The Union Army under General Halleck advanced upon Corinth with 
 greatest caution, building and fighting behind parallel lines of earthworks, 
 each succeeding line in advance of the other, gaining ground step by step, 
 from one stump, tree or position forward to another, accompanied by de- 
 tails of men and the pioneer corps with intrenching tools, while the contest 
 raged along the lines every day, between the two contesting armies. 
 
 The Confederate Army under General Beauregard gradually fell back, 
 and he concentrated his army at Corinth, a position strongly fortified, and 
 prepared for a determined defence. All the available troops of the south- 
 west were sent to his aid, including the armies of Van Dorn and Price, 
 from Missouri and Arkansas, as well as the militia of the states of Ala- 
 bama. Mississippi, and Louisana. By his official report made on the 22nd 
 of April, 1862, he had four corps, Bragg's, Polk's, Breckenridge's and 
 Hardee's, besides cavalry. According to his official report made May 26th, 
 just before the evacuation of Corinth, he had a total of one hundred and 
 twelve thousand and seventeen men of all arms. Beauregard endeavored, 
 on this ground of his own choosing to incite his troops with obstinacy and 
 desperation, to their utmost fighting capacity for his fading prestige of in- 
 vincibility. "Soldiers of Shiloh and Elkhorn." he said to them, "we are 
 about to meet once more in the shock of battle, the invaders of our soil, the 
 despoilers of our homes, the disturbers of our family ties, face to face, hand 
 to hand. * * * * With your banners mingled for the first time during the 
 war, we meet the foe in strength that should give us victory. Soldiers, can 
 the result be doubtful? Shall we not drive them back into the Tennessee, 
 Lhe presumptuous mercenaries, collected for our subjection? One more 
 manly effort, and, trusting in God and the justice of our cause, we shall 
 recover more than we have lately lost." 
 
 Bragg said to them. "You will encounter them in your chosen position, 
 strong by nature, and improved by art, away from their main support and 
 reliance, gunboats and heavy batteries, and for the first time in the war. 
 with nearly equal numbers." 
 
CHAPTER XI. 
 
 SIEGE OF CORINTH. 
 
 Fuller's Ohio Brigade now the first in Stanley's Second Division, with 
 Pope's Army of the Mississippi, formed the left wing of General Halleck's 
 Army of over one hundred thousand men, to operate for the capture of 
 Corinth. 
 
 Until April 27th, the Brigade performed fatigue duty, unloading amu- 
 nitions of war from the transports on the Tennessee River, and in making 
 roads. On the 27th. they marched five miles to the front and went into 
 bivouac in the heavy wood, at the forks of the road leading to Monterey, 
 on the Corinth Road. 
 
 ( )n the 29th, they formed in line and marched seven miles toward the 
 enemy for a reconnaissance. They drove in the enemy's pickets at Mon- 
 terey, found one hundred tents still standing, took a number of prisoners 
 and burned their cam]), capturing a large amount of rations, consisting of 
 bread, meat, coffee, and sugar, which supplied the Union men for several 
 days. On the 1st of May, the Brigade crossed into Mississippi.

 < in May 4th. advance was made five miles to Farmington, where a 
 severe skirmish took place in fields of wheat, corn and cotton and over 
 plowed ground, then forward into a swamp of heavy timber, wading creeks 
 and forming lines of battle at every appearance of danger. The Brigade 
 rested at Seven Mile (reek on the Farmington Road, within a short dis-

 passing over the heads of the men in ranks. A Demi Brigade, commanded 
 by J. L. Kirby Smith, Forty-third Ohio, occupied Xichol's Ford, The Thirty- 
 ninth Ohio Infantry supported Dee's Michigan Battery. 
 
 Rifle pits were advanced along the whole army front. Each day re- 
 connaissances were made with heavy skirmishing and musket firing from 
 four o'clock in the morning until night. 
 
 On May 8th, the Brigade marched in line of battle to Farmington 
 through a swamp and over a corduroy road, passing the graves of rebels slain 
 in the recent skirmish, who had been buried by the Union troops. Three 
 thousand cavalry, thirty pieces of artillery and thirteen regiments of in- 
 fantry were drawn up in line near the village of Farmington and then 
 moved forward. The Brigade position was on the left wing, supporting 
 the Eleventh Ohio Battery. The movement was through plowed fields of 
 cotton, corn and wheat, through swamps and creeks, and through thick 
 timber and underbrush. 
 
 Within six hundred yards of the enemy's batteries, the Union Artil- 
 lery opened fire which drew the fire of the Confederate batteries, their shots 
 passing over. During this time, the Brigade skirmishers lay in sight of the

 enemy's main line of works which comprised the defences of Corinth. Two 
 of the Thirty-ninth were wounded on this day, also six men of the Twenty- 
 seventh and two of the Sixty-third Ohio. 
 
 While Fuller's Ohio Brigade, then in command of General Tyler, lay 
 in this advance position, a regiment of Confederate Cavalry scouts, net 
 knowing of the presence of the Union troops, got in their rear by mistake, 
 and took twenty-five prisoners, including Surgeon William R. Thrall of the 
 Twenty-seventh Ohio, who was taken to Memphis and from there was sent 
 to the Union lines. 
 
 The Union troops had now advanced and occupied the third parallel 
 earthworks which presented a front about twelve miles in length, the build- 
 ing and defense of which entailed physical dangers and difficulties. The 
 soldiers showed signs of being greatly fatigued by their hard labor. They 
 also showed a change of deportment, their bearing being more like true 
 soldiers. General Halleck complimented the Brigade upon its splendid 
 service and ordered that "Lexington," "Springfield," "New Madrid," "Isl- 
 and Ten" be inscrilbed upon its regimental banners. 
 
 May 9th, heavy firing occured at Farmington, where the enemy at- 
 tacked our grand guard. General Pope's entire army moved out in line. 
 The Ohio Brigade was in ranks all day and was skirmishing part of the 
 time. < )n May 10th, the Brigade took possession of the hill at Farmington, 
 from which Union troops had fallen back on the day previous. 
 
 During part of the siege, it was the practice in reserve companies to 
 have roll call at one o'clock in the morning and to have it repeated every 
 hour until daylight. Then came inspection of arms which was instituted 
 to keep the men well in hand, allowing no one to sleep while on duty, or 
 when in close proximilty to the enemy, and keeping always on the alert for 
 sudden attack. Many times before daylight, simultaneous discharges of 
 thousands of muskets was heard in attempts to drive in the picket lines. 
 
 On the 24th, the enemy's firing on our pickets became exceedingly an- 
 noying. With five companies of the Eleventh Missouri, five companies of 
 the Thirty-ninth < )hio, the enemy was charged and scattered. Dee's Michi- 
 gan Battery with its Parrot guns threw shells into Corinth. 
 
 On the 28th, an attempt was made to force the enemy back with artil- 
 lery and musket fire. The Thirty-ninth Ohio advanced a distance of five 
 hundred vards. It gave a quietus to the picket firing in front. Nothing 
 more was heard from the rebels except a few shots from a battery pro- 
 tected by earthworks on high ground. 
 
 The fortified camp of the Union Army was made more impregnable 
 each day, and additional forces were arriving. During this siege of tvventy- 
 eighl days, the men always slept with their clothing and accoutrements on.

 their muskets by their sides, and with eighty rounds of cartridges on their 
 persons, From the top of a high pole, a sentinel could see operations in 
 Corinth. 
 
 ( In .May 28th, Brigaider-General Rosecrans assumed command of 
 Stanley's and Paine's Divisions. Notwithstanding the enemy's fire the work 
 of intrenching was carried on constantly. 
 
 On the 29th, the Ohio Brigade moved out and took position, Stanley's 
 Division being in advance at a salient point investing Corinth. The skirm- 
 ishers dug and occupied rifle pits and their fire drove the enemy back under 
 nrotecton of their batteries. Shot and shell flew over the ranks of men and 
 were imbedded in the trees, cutting and tearing the limbs. Many lives were 
 lost and there were many narrow escapes from death. During the night the 
 shrill whistle of the locomotive, the rumbling of the trains and cheering by 
 the enemy's troops were heard and it was thought they were being rein- 
 forced, but on the contrary, they were evacuating, as was disclosed to the 
 Cnion Army on the morning of the 30th, when sounds of exploding maga- 
 zines and ammunition trains were heard. 
 
 The Union troops immediately occupied the town and the Thirty-ninth 
 ( >hio had the honor of first hoisting the United States flag over the Court 
 House.

 John Poi'i:. Major-General. Commanding. 
 
 The enemy abandoned and destroyed most of his supplies and left his 
 heavy artillery. Thus ended the siege and capture of Corinth. 
 
 Corinth had been strongly fortified by slave labor with solid earth- 
 works, built high with rifle pits in front. Large trees had been felled, mak- 
 ing it difficult of approach by hostile forces. On the 30th, a march was 
 made to Tuscumbia Creek. 
 
74 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 May 3 1st. having received tents and army supplies that had been left 
 in the rear, a march of twenty-five miles was made in pursuit of the 
 enemy through Danville, Rienza, and Boonville. In many of the places on 
 the Mobile and Ohio Railroad were found quantities of muskets twisted 
 and broken, and cars of cotton still burning. 
 
 The weather was extremely hot, the marching rapid. Many soldiers 
 were sunstruck. The water obtained in the swamps for drinking was very 
 bad and made the men sick. Whole platoons of men fell out of ranks ex- 
 hausted. The artillery and ammunition wagons were given the middle of 
 the road, while the troops marched along each side. 
 
 June 11th, the Brigade returned from the pursuit by a circuitous route 
 and went into camp at Clear Creek. Tishomingo County, five miles south 
 of Corinth. It was a beautiful location on rolling lands partially timbered 
 and near large springs of pure water which gushed from the ground in 
 such quantity that a large creek was formed. 
 
 June 6th, the Union gunboats destroyed the enemy's fleet at Memphis. 
 The same day two regiments of the Army of the Mississippi left by Pope 
 with the Meet, entered the city. The Mississippi River was now open to 
 Yicksburg and the objects which had been proposed in the spring campaign 
 were accomplished. The labor of camp and road making, the marches 
 through heat and dust, the privations, short rations, bad clothing, bare feet, 
 were all borne by the men with patience and cheerfulness. 
 
 Our shady camp was made enjoyable by cutting the brush away, trim- 
 ming the trees up and policing the place. Tents and garrison equipage 
 were brought up and a military camp was put in perfect order. Yet during 
 the months of July and August, much sickness prevailed among the men. 
 The principal disease was dysentery, caused by the absence of fruit and 
 vegetables from the soldiers' rations. At the same time there were some 
 deaths caused by homesickness. 
 
 General Grant says in his memoirs. "The most anxious period of the 
 war to me, was during the time that the Army of the Tennessee was guard- 
 ing the territory acquired by the fall of Corinth and Memphis and before 
 I was sufficiently re-enforced to take the offensive. The enemy's Cavalry 
 was constantly operating upon our lines of supplies, back to Columbus, and 
 other points, making it necessary to guard all territorv in our rear." 
 
CHAPTER XII. 
 
 THE REORGANIZATION OF THE COMMANDS — THE CAMPAIGN AND BATTLES OF 
 
 ll'KA AND CORINTH — FORCES ENGAGED — REPORTS OF BATTLES 
 
 RETREAT OF THE ENEMY. 
 
 In June, 1862, President Lincoln issued "order number three" which 
 relieved LVIcClellan from command of other armies except the Army of the 
 Potomac. General Pope was called to command the Army of Northern 
 Virginia, and General Halleck to command all the Union armies with head- 
 quarters at Washington. General U. S. Grant assumed command of the 
 Department of West Tennessee. General Rosecrans was left in command 
 of four divisions, Stanley's, Hamilton's, Davies', and McKean's, District of 
 Corinth, Department of the Tennessee. Fuller's Ohio Brigade was desig- 
 nated the first in General Stanley's Second Division. General Buell was 
 sent with his Army via Huntsville to Chattanooga. 
 
 On June 20th, the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Regiments of 
 Fuller's Ohio Brigade exchanged their old, altered, flintlock, Springfield 
 rifle muskets for the new Whitney rifles with sabers or sword bayonets, 
 which were excellent arms. They also received new clothing and accoutre- 
 ments. 
 
 The forces at Corinth built earthworks with high parapets, ditches ten 
 feet in width and barracks for permanent accommodation of troops, who 
 were to remain in this land of "balmy breezes and beautiful skies." Corinth 
 was full of sutlers and merchants who sold their goods at very high prices 
 to soldiers and native inhabitants. Butter was $1.60 a pound and a quart 
 can of peaches $1.50. The Brigade was drilled almost constantly and the 
 discipline was quite severe under the close supervision of General Stanley 
 and General Fuller. 
 
 The position at Corinth was important and naturally strong. It stood 
 on a long low ridge in the forks of two streams which ran parallel to each 
 other near their junction. It was protected on the front and both sides by 
 swampy valleys, traversed by streams and obstructed by dense thickets. 
 Both armies recognized its great strategic importance, being the key to all 
 West Tennessee, North Alabama, and Mississippi, the junction command- 
 ing all the railroads, from Memphis to Charleston and from Louisville to 
 Mobile, and in a measure controlling the commerce of the Mississippi to 
 New Orleans. Therefore the 'Confederates made strenuous efforts to 
 repossess it. Fuller's Ohio Brigade was ordered to move on the 17th, but 
 
76 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 it was not until the 20th of August that the campaign commenced which 
 ended in the battles of luka and Corinth. At three o'clock on the morning 
 of that day, the bugle sounded the reveille and the Brigade was aroused. 
 The troops partook of their breakfast of bacon, hard bread ("hard tack") 
 ami coffee, the tents were struck, the debris of camp was set on fire, and 
 the army lines swung out on a ridge road which was followed all day. The 
 country over which they marched was hilly with deep valleys covered with 
 a thick growth of heavy timber. Late in the evening, the Brigade went 
 into bivouac and night came on clear and bright. 
 
 ( In the 21st, march was continued twenty-five miles to luka. situated 
 on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. The Thirty-ninth Ohio Regi- 
 ment was divided. Four companies went to luka, two to East Port and 
 four were distributed along the railroad. The Forty-third and Sixty-third 
 Ohio Regiments continued on to Bear Creek. A good cam]) was made on 
 a hill at luka, near the sulphur springs, by the rest of the Brigade, and with 
 the assistance of two hundred slaves from the Cherokee and Russel valleys, 
 they immediately fortified their position. 
 
 Rumors were spread thick and fast among the troops in regard to the 
 movements of the United Confederate Army, commanded by Price and 
 Van Horn, which numbered forty thousand. 
 
 On September ~th. the army posts along the railroad were called in. 
 Troops that had been called up at midnight to unload cars containing com- 
 missary stores, were drawn in. 
 
 ( )n September 12th. at three o'clock in the morning, the troops of Ful- 
 ler's Brigade struck tents and vacated their comfortable camp at luka. and 
 the Army marched by way of Jacinto, a distance of twenty-five miles on 
 roads leading near to Corinth. Preparations were made for a great contest 
 of arms, no wagons were unloaded, and every thing was kept in readiness 
 to start at a moment's notice. All baggage was reduced, and five days' 
 rations were kept on hand. During this time the troops slept on the ground 
 without blankets, so that when the reveille sounded, on September 18th, at 
 two o'clock in the morning, they were ready ind sprang to their feet and 
 to arms. After a inarch of twenty-three miles, they arrived near Jacinto 
 and bivouaced. On the 16th of September, Ceneral Rosecrans directed 
 Colonel Gilbert to move the Thirty-ninth Ohio from Jacinto to a place two 
 miles south of Burnsville and to cut off the enemy. 
 
 Ori 'he 19th, advance was continued. During the day the troops were 
 halted, and by order of Ceneral Rosecrans a dispatch was read at the head 
 of every regiment as follows; "General Lee of the Confederate Army is 
 killed! Longstreet is taken prisoner. Both commands are raptured and 
 destroyed." This information represented the result of the battle of Antie- 
 
Battle of Iuka. 77 
 
 tarn. Maryland, and although it afterward proved to be inconect, it caused 
 at the time much excitement and aroused patriotic emotions among the men. 
 The condition of affairs in the Union Army was not very good, at this 
 time. Lee had advanced with the rebel army into Maryland. The Union 
 1 ieneral Buell had marched his army in retreat to Louisville, Kentucky ; and 
 Van Dorn had united with other rebel forces under Price, Villepague, and 
 Moore, and were south of the Hatchie River to overwhelm the smaller 
 forces of Union troops under Rosecrans. Van Dorn concluded first to 
 occupy Iuka. which place the Union troops had just vacated and were now 
 advancing to recapture. 
 
 BATTLE OF IUKA. 
 
 Rosecrans' forces after marching twenty-two miles on the Jacinto 
 Road, had arrived about two hours before sundown within one mile of 
 Iuka. Hamilton's Division was forming near Barnett Station, and Stanley's 
 Division was ordered into action. The men in the Brigade had loaded and 
 were just placing caps on their rifles, when a most terrific fire of musketry 
 was opened and the enemy engaged two of Hamilton's Brigades. A charge 
 of the rebels upon the Eleventh Ohio and Eighth Wisconsin Batteries fol- 
 lowed and with loud cheers the Ohio Brigade rushed forward into action. 
 
 The Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth, Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio 
 Regiments were moved to the left and lay under fire of the enemy. The 
 fight then became an infantry duel and there never was a hotter nor more 
 destructive engagement while it lasted. Finally a lull came in the fighting, 
 and when the heavy cloud of smoke lifted, long lines of rebel troops could 
 easily be distinguished. As it grew darker and flashes of musketry fire 
 became brighter, a rebel regiment in the darkness rushed toward a Union 
 regiment and asked who they were. On answering them, both forces com- 
 menced firing upon each other at close range. The Eleventh Ohio Battery, 
 after losing half its men, was captured and then retaken. Its loss in men 
 within two hours was greater in killed and wounded, than in any other 
 battery in battle during the war. 
 
 Our troops lay in line of battle upon their arms during the night, and 
 at daybreak, marched across the battle field in hot pursuit of the fast-re- 
 treating rebel army, who, defeated and routed, left its dead upon the battle 
 field. They were found lying in almost every position. One was lying 
 prone upon the ground, his eyes wide open, his gun resting on a log, in the 
 act of firing. A number had guns clutched in their hands in the act of 
 loading, their rammers half drawn. ( )ne in dying had grasped a small tree 
 with his teeth, others died while kneeling and taking aim. The rebels left 
 the houses filled with dead and wounded.

Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 79 
 
 In the early evening, before the firing had fully subsided, a temporary 
 hospital with operating tables was established close to the lines of Fuller's 
 Ohio Brigade. There in the open field, the writer saw for a few moments, 
 something of the terrible havoc of war. The surgeons were at work with 
 only candles for light. Their facilities were crude. The tables were cov- 
 ered with pools of blood, the ground was strewn with amputated arms, 
 hands and legs. Many of the men shrieked with pain when lifted to the 
 operating table. 
 
 During the battle, General Grant with Ord's forces was at Burnsville. 
 six miles distant ready to attack. He waited for the sound of Rosecrans' 
 guns, but owing to the direction of the wind, and the wooded country which 
 intervened, no notice of the conflict was given, and opportunity of captur- 
 ing the enemys' forces was lost. 
 
 Rosecrans had forwarded a dispatch to Grant that the shorter road 
 on which Stanley's Division should advance had been obstructed by the 
 enemy and he would be obliged to take an indirect route. General Grant 
 assumed from his dispatch, that Stanley coultl not get up in time for an 
 attack that afternoon, and ordered General Ord to wait until the next morn- 
 ing. But Stanley's Division had moved with its accustomed rapidity and 
 was up to the front in time to engage in the battle. The enemy's plan to 
 invade Tennessee at this time was a failure.

 In obedience to orders. 1 have the honor to report that my command

 the 19th instant, moving in the following order: The Thirty-ninth Ohio

Fuller's Official Report. si 
 
 Within about three miles of Iuka, we were halted in the road and the 
 Batteries were moved to the right of the road near the edge of the woods 
 and on the hill which overlooked the open field, directly south of the scene 
 of action. At sunset, I received orders to advance immediately to the front. 
 As soon as the order "double quick" was given, the infantry ran forward, 
 swinging their hats and cheering lustily, but darkness brought a cessation 
 of the firing. Soon after dawn it was reported that the enemy had left the 
 field of battle and taken position nearer the town. My command took the 
 advance, and after passing the field, four regiments formed in line of battle 
 (the Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth, and Forty-third of my Brigade and the 
 Forty-seventh Illinois, Colonel Mower's Brigade) and moved forward upon 
 the town. During the deployment. Captain Powell's Batterv was brought 
 forward and threw a few shots at a body of the enemy which appeared 
 near the Fulton Road. As we neared the town, a flag of truce came out, 
 borne by a citizen, who said that the citizens desired the surrender of the 
 town, and the soldiers (enemy) were all in the ditch dug by the Federal 
 Army. We then moved forward into the town and found that the enemy 
 had evacuated the place, leaving by the Fulton Road. My command went 
 forward in pursuit, till we reached Cripple Deer Creek. The statements 
 of several prisoners confirmed by a reconnaissance, made by Captain Saw- 
 yer of the Seventh Kansas (two companies) proved that the enemy was 
 several miles in advance and rapidly retreating but in the exhausted con- 
 dition of our men and the total absence of subsistence, it was deemed im- 
 practicable to continue the pursuit farther. We rested near Cripple Deer 
 Creek for the night and commenced our return toward Jacinto about eight 
 o'clock on the morning of the 21st. Six casualties occured in the Thirtv- 
 ninth and two in the Sixty-third Ohio Regiments.

 Colonel of the Twenty-seventh Ohio, Commanding. 
 
 THE PURSUIT OF THE ENEMY. 
 
 Having passed the battle field on the morning of September 20th. pur- 
 suit was continued a distance of seven miles with many stops, camping at 
 Cripple Deer in a corn and sweet potato field. On the 21st, a march of 
 thirtv-five miles was made, the troops going into bivouac late at night. 
 Orders were passed that no one should speak louder than a whisper, on 
 account of the close proximity of the enemy. On the 22nd, a march of 
 eight miles was made to Jacinto, where the men camped on the banks of a 
 creek. They bathed and refreshed themselves and later, an inspection of 
 arms took place. 
 
 On the night of the 22nd, the Thirty-ninth and Sixty-third Ohio Regi- 
 ments made a reconnaissance. ( )n the 29th the Brigade marched to the rebel 
 sand bag breast works, through Rienza on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. 
 At ten o'clock the same night, under command of Major Z. S. Spaulding, 
 the Twenty-seventh and Forty-third Ohio with one section of the Eighth 
 
Fuller's Oh h> Brig \m. 
 
 Wisconsin Battery marched southwest on a reconnaissance, eight miles to- 
 ward the Hatchie River, and Ripley where the rebel army was encamped. 
 Major Spaulding reported to General Rosecrans that he had captured three 
 prisoners of Breckenridge's command and from them the information had 
 been received that Villepague and Rust had brought fifteen hundred men 
 up to Pocohontas. The enemy's whole force numbered forty thousand men. 
 
 For thirteen days, the Brigade marched on an inner circle by way of 
 Jacinto and Rienza, toward Corinth in order to watch the rebel army. ( >n 
 the 1st of i ictuber a march of thirteen miles was made as far as Pocohontas 
 and Kossuth, to cover the Hatchie River Crossing. This was a region of 
 few settlements, poor log cabins, rolling oak ridges and sluggish streams, 
 that dried up during the summer. The troops suffered terribly from thirst, 
 the roads were dusty, the sun shone down very hot, and it was ninety-four 
 degrees in the shade. 
 
 At noon the soldiers halted, hurriedly cooked their rations of bacon 
 on the ends of sticks and their coffee in their tin cups, then falling into line, 
 they continued the march toward Corinth, a total distance of thirty-seven 
 miles without camping. This march was through a country almost desti- 
 tute of water. The men rested at the Tuscumbia Creek. On October 3rd, 
 they marched to the breast works, southwest of Corinth, after having skirm- 
 ished all day through heavy timber and thick underbrush, to support and 
 strengthen different parts of the army. At nightfall, with colors flying and 
 bands playing, the men. covered with dust, their faces bronzed by exposure 
 and long service under the rays of the sun, moved in columns of companies, 
 right in front, through the streets and joined the lines at Corinth. General 
 Rosecrans and his staff sat on their horses by the Kossuth Road, waiting 
 to welcome them. The soldiers of Hamilton's, Davies' and McKean's Divis- 
 ions gathered in platoons, cheering and shouting for the "Buckeye Boys." 
 The Ohio boys called back, "We are distressed for want of water." 
 
 The position first assigned was north of the Tishomingo House, and the 
 junction of the two railroads, to support Davies' Division. It was here that 
 we saw the Eighth Wisconsin Regiment with their live eagle carried on a 
 standard. Finally the Brigade was moved to the left and was assigned to 
 a position facing the Chawalla Road, the key to the position at Battery 
 Robinett. Battery Robinett was a little three gun redan, an earthwork with 
 a ditch in front, five feet deep, commanded by Lieutenants Robinett and 
 i ullen, and manned by Company C, First United States Infantry. It was 
 now late at night and the men were almost famished for water. 
 
 To provide against the possibility of capture by the enemy, the com- 
 missary department caused all barrels of whiskey to be opened. Into this 
 the surgeons put a quantity of quinine and the troops were allowed to fill 
 
Positions ( )ccupied by the Army. 83 
 
 their canteens with the mixture. This was the first and only time that 
 liquor was given to Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 It was about ten o'clock at night before the Brigade filed into position 
 at I lattery Robinett. The soldiers dropped upon the ground and slept be- 
 side their muskets completely exhausted from the continued hardships of 
 the last forty- tour days, and from marching in hot sultry weather. The 
 lessons taught and the experience which they had had in throwing up earth- 
 works for protection, during the month of May previous, were of no avail 
 in their tired condition. It was physically impossible for them to do more 
 and so no earthworks were built. 
 
 General Rosecrans' four divisions faced north and west. Mizners Cav- 
 alry watched and guarded the flanks and rear from the enemy. Next 
 joining the cavalry on the right was Hamilton's division and Battery Paw- 
 ell. Xext came Davies' Division with Dee's and Richardson's Batteries. 
 To the left was the Twenty-seventh Ohio Regiment, joining the Sixty- 
 third Ohio whose left joined Battery Robinett. Xext. with their right on 
 Battery Robinett, the Forty-third Ohio was stationed. The Thirty-ninth 
 ( )hio and the Eleventh Missouri ( the latter detached from the Second Bri- 
 gade ) were in the rear as reserves. In the rear of this line of battle was 
 Battery Williams, to the west and rear, Battery Phillips, further to the left 
 and rear was Stanley's Second Brigade and McKean's Division. Still fur- 
 ther to the rear on College Hill were Batteries Tannrath and Lathrop, 
 mounted with siege guns. 
 
 As early as September. 1862, the rebel General Van Dorn in his report 
 said : 
 
 "The conclusion forced itself upon my mind that the taking of Corinth 
 was a condition precedent to the accomplishment of anything of importance 
 in West Tennessee and it was clear to my mind that if a successful attack 
 could be made upon Corinth from the west and northwest, the forces there 
 would be driven back, on the Tennessee River and cut off and Bolivar and 
 Jackson would easily fall. I determined to attempt Corinth. I had reason- 
 able hopes of success. Field returns as Ripley showed my strength to be 
 about twenty-two thousand men. Rosecrans at Corinth had about fifteen 
 thousand with about eight thousand additional men at outposts, from 
 twelve to fifteen miles distant. I might surprise him and carry the place 
 before these troops could be brought in. It was necessary that this blow 
 should be sudden and decisive." 
 
 "The troops were in fine spirits, and the whole army of West Tennessee 
 seemed eager to emulate the Confederate armies of the Potomac and Ken- 
 tucky. Xo army every marched to battle with prouder step, more hopeful 
 countenances or with more courage, than marched the Army of the West 
 Tennessee out of Ripley on the morning of September 29th, 1862. on it. 
 w ay to Corinth." 
 
CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 THE BATTLE OF CORINTH. 
 
 On October 3rd. about daybreak, tbe enemy consisting of General 
 I 'rice's and General Van Dorn"s united forces, bad formed in lines facing 
 south, in front of the old outer line of intrencbments, built in May, about 
 three miles from Corinth. Lovell's Division of troops was on the right. 
 Maury's in the center. Hebert's on the left. The Union troops of Davie-.' 
 and McKean's Divisions, in front of this line on the 3rd, were only in- 
 tended for developments, and about ten o'clock in the morning, were driven 
 into the old intrencbments. 
 
 In the afternoon after a hot battle, these two divisions fell back. Gen- 
 eral Hackelman had been killed, General Oglesby wounded, and Hamil- 
 ton's Division was watching on the right for an attack from the north. At 
 three o'clock in the afternoon, Stanley's Second Brigade was sent to the 
 assistance of McKean and Davies. On the 4th of < )ctober at four o'clock 
 in the morning, the enemy shelled the town from a battery which under 
 cover of the darkness, they had with great enterprise, placed on a ridge 
 near the Chewalla Road, which led directly to Battery Robinett. Fuller's 
 Ohio Brigade lay flat on the ground, listening to the roar of flying missels. 
 which passed over them, but the regulars in the Second L'nited States Bat- 
 tery, replying with their guns, soon silenced the enemy. The Brigade picket 
 force from the Sixty-third Ohio, rushed out and brought in part of the 
 enemy's battery with horses attached. One of the enemy's shells struck 
 ( orpoial Creighton Orr. Company B of the Forty-third Ohio, nearly sever- 
 ing his head from his body. It was supposed that M. M. Smith who stood 
 near to Orr was wounded by being hit by a piece of Orr's skull. Orr's 
 blood was scattered over several men. 
 
 ["he Onion Troops, although without blankets, had not been allowed 
 fires during the night, which was a cold one, and they had no breakfast the 
 next morning, for not a man was allowed to leave the ranks to get rations 
 because of the nearness of the enemy. The day opened clear and hot. It 
 must have been ninety-five degrees. A heavy line of skirmishers from the 
 Brigade under Major McDowell of the Thirty-ninth Ohio, was out all 
 night, fighting a strong battle with the enemy. Companies B and G of the 
 Twenty-seventh fired two hundred rounds of cartridges which were brought 
 out to them by details of men under Sergeant Morgan. Many of the 
 enemy's sharpshooters were located high up in tbe branches of trees, from 
 which place of vantage they shot our skirmishers. They also had a perfect

 range on the Forty-third Regiment. Their fire became so destructive that 
 Colonel Smith ordered one of the guns of Battery Robinett to be fired upon 
 them. The second shot brought them down. This was one of the mi ist 
 trying positions our Brigade was placed in during the war. 
 
 When the redoubts were built, the timber was cut down four hundred 
 yards in front. Beyond this the forest was so dense that it covered all 
 the movements of the enemy's troops. About ten o'clock in the morning. 
 the Union skirmishers were driven back. The storm broke. Five brigades, 
 four lines deep, with regimental fronts, burst out of the woods, directly 
 north of the railroad station, and covering Davis' Division, penetrated it 
 and rushed at the town. They captured Battery Powell and turned the 
 guns upon Fuller's Brigade. At this time, the left of Hamilton's Division 
 and the right companies of the Twenty-seventh Ohio Fuller's ( )hio Brigade 
 were in position intact. They immediately attacked the great column of the 
 enemy as they were spreading past. 
 
 Two regiments of Davies' Division in reserve, rose from behind the 
 railroad embankment and poured in a volley of musketry. The Con- 
 federates stood but a moment and then broke into great disorder, in their 
 retreat leaving many prisoners, and the ground covered with their dead

 and wounded. At that moment, another and larger force of Arkansas, 
 Texas, Alabama and Mississippi troops, estimated at twenty thousand 
 strong, their columns five lines deep, emerged from the woods in full view 
 and rushed forward with desperate charge upon Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 Their columns moved in almost unbroken lines, their battle flags flaunting 
 in the clear sunlight. No sight like this had ever before greeted the eyes 
 i if the si ildiers. 
 
 When the enemy had reached a distance of a few yards from the posi- 
 tion occupied by Fuller's Ohio Brigade, the Twenty-seventh, Forty-third 
 and Sixty-third Regiments rose en masse and simultaneously delivered 
 a tremendous volley of musketry fire and went at them. The guns in 
 
 the hands of our trained soldiers told with terrible effect upon the ad- 
 vancing foe. 
 
 In the meantime the assailants tumbled behind the shelter of stum] is 
 and fallen trees and fired point blank into the Union lines, exchanging shot 
 with the brigade at twenty paces. Thus the two contending forces continued 
 murdering each other until the enemy gathering in their number and 
 strength, rushed their columns up to the Union lines. Reaching the muz- 
 zles of the guns in Battery Robinett. the defenders and assailants began 
 clubbing each other with their muskets. Colonel Rogers of the Second 
 Texas rode up to the muzzle of a twenty-four pounder, and in the next 
 instant he and his horse were shot and both fell dead. 
 
 After the long practice in the use or arms, the men of the Brigade 
 could load and fire in the shortest possible time, but after each discbarge 
 the time necessary to ram the charge down and fire again seemed unusually 
 long. This was especially so when the gun-barrels became so hot after 
 repeated firing that they could hardly be held and the muzzles became so 
 contracted that the paper had to be torn entirely off the cartridge and ball. 
 Vet looking down the line of hostile gun-barrels, right into their muzzles 
 stimulated the work of the defenders. 
 
 The Union Batteries were obliged to cease firing because of the close 
 proximity of the contending forces. The fighting was thus desperate and 
 matter- 1> mked precarious. The Forty-third Ohio had suffered severely, 
 losing nearly one-fourth of its men. Their Colonel. J. I.. Kirby Smith, a 
 young officer of great promise, fell from his horse, mortally wounded. Ad- 
 jutant Charles Hey] and Captain Spangler were dead. Captains II. S. 
 Prophel and Timmons and Lieutenant Howe and others were wounded. 
 
 The command of the regiment fell to Lieutenant-Colonel Swayne who 
 changed front under a withering fire that would have tried the metal of 
 any regiment that ever saw a battle field and every rebel who showed his 
 head above the parapet of Battery Robinett or attempted to enter the em 
 In.!- mi was either killed or wounded. 
 
Scenes During the Assault. 87 
 
 The Sixty-third Ohio which occupied an exposed position, had suf- 
 fered a loss of forty-eight per cent of all those engaged, all of their officers 
 except three were killed nr wounded while the remnant stood to their 
 work with greatest determination. Captain ( Iscar L. Jackson was severely 
 wounded in this engagement. 
 
 The right companies of the Twenty-seventh ( )hio were firing in- 
 cessantly. Being screened and protected by fallen trees, they did fearful 
 execution upon the flanks of the enemy. The left of that regiment, not 
 so fortunately protected, was fully exposed, with a road in front upon which 
 the enemy came en masse. Companies B, G, and K had lost half of their 
 number, killed or wounded, including all of the commissioned officers of 
 Company G. The Company was therefore left in command of Charles H. 
 Smith, the Orderly Sergeant. Lieutenant Webb was shot and died while 
 shouting to his men to stand firm. At this period of the conflict, the 
 Twenty-seventh which had moved and closed toward the Sixty-third, now 
 sprang forward in a counter charge upon the enemy. In the melee and 
 hand-to-hand encounter which ensued. Company G of the Twenty-seventh 
 rushed upon the color company of the Ninth Texas Infantry. Corporal 
 Cheek wounded the Confederate colorbearer, who fell upon his flag, stain- 
 ing its folds with his blood. Private Orin B. Gould seized the colors. A 
 Confederate officer shot Gould and shouted to his men to save their colors, 
 then dashed toward Gould to shoot him again but he was met bv Orderlv- 
 Sergeant Charles H. Smith who rushed forward with his rifle, took the 
 rebel prisoner, marched him to the rear and turned him over to Lieutenant 
 Simpson of Company C. Private Gould took the captured flag to Major Z. 
 S. Spaulding of the Twenty-seventh Ohio who put it into the hands of 
 Colonel Fuller. Meanwhile Gould went to the hospital to be treated. 
 
 Among the relics of the Rebellion and other wars in the Relic Room 
 of the Capitol Building in Columbus. Ohio, can be seen this large flag, 
 which has the greatest history of any in the room. The dark spots on it 
 are the blood stains, which gave it the name of the "blood stained flag." 
 It is known as the Ninth Texas battle flag. It has a red ground with blue 
 cross bars and twelve stars. The letter sent with the flag to Governor Todd 
 by Colonel Puller of the Twenty-seventh Ohio Regiment, gives a history 
 "i the circumstances attending the capture of the flag. 
 
 The entire color guard of the Ninth Texas Regiment threw down their 
 arms and surrendered. On this spot within a circle of a few feet, there 
 fell in this fight around the flag. Gould. Radway. Statten, Thomas, Burnett, 
 Fullerton, Harpel, Jenkins, Wilson, and Primer wounded ami Turner 
 killed. This tragedy i-- now a part of the history of the war.

Rosecrans Compliments the Brigade. 89 
 
 General Rosecrans says in describing the battle, "The deadly fire of 
 the Ohio Brigade broke them again. I saw the enemy come upon the ridge, 
 while Battery Robinett was belching its fire at them, after their charge 
 had failed. I saw the Twenty-seventh ( )hio and the Eleventh Missouri 
 spring up, rush forward and chase them with bayonets into the woods." 
 
 A soldier of Hamilton's Division says. "About nine o'clock on the 
 morning of ( )ctober 4th, there was suddenly heard something like a distant 
 whirlwind. My regiment rose to its feet and was amazed to see a great 
 column of the enemy like a mighty storm-cloud moving out of the woods 
 and attacking the troops on our left. It was the storming of Battery 
 Robinett defended by Fuller's Ohio Brigade. Twenty thousand rebel troops 
 in the greatest assault made by -them during the war, covered the ridge 
 opposite, and commenced to pour a destructive fire upon the Twenty-seventh, 
 Forty-third, and Sixty-third Ohio Regiments, and then advanced in three 
 columns, climbing over fallen trees, bending their heads against the awful 
 storm of grape and musketry. I saw the ( >hio Brigade rise en masse and 
 pour in a perfect blaze of musket fire, mowing them down like grass. 1 
 never expect to see a grander sight than this battle field presented. The re- 
 nown of this victory is the common heritage of the American Soldier." 
 
 After the battle a wounded rebel Lieutenant, while being given some 
 water to drink, said. "You licked us good today, but we gave you the best we 
 had in the ranch." 
 
 The Thirty-ninth Ohio, a fine body of men, splendidly disciplined, 
 was obliged to remain in reserve position during the battle, to be shot at 
 without opportunity to return their fire. But their cheers for us and their 
 close proximity nerved us on to fight with great determination. 
 
 This counter-charge nearly ended the battle. The enemy became de- 
 moralized. Many screened themselves behind the fallen timber, waved their 
 hands or handkerchieves in token of surrender, for to rise meant certain 
 death. The great mass of the enemy retreated in the untmost confusion, 
 and in their route and panic, canteens, muskets, blankets, and other articles, 
 were thrown away. Private Philip R. Ilarpel, though wounded, brought 
 in eight prisoners who were found hiding behind the fallen timber. 
 
 After the battle was over, General Rosecrans rode up to the position 
 occupied by Fuller's Ohio Brigade and warmly addressing the men. said. 
 "I know now that I stand in the presence of brave men and I take off my 
 hat to you. 1 know this from what I have heard and from what 1 have seen 
 at a distance, and also from these piles of dead along your front, and I 
 thank you in our country's name for your great valor." 
 
 About five o'clock in the afternoon, a company from each regiment 
 of the Brigade, forming a strong skirmish line under command of Major 
 
90 l'i i i er's i '11 1< > Brigade. 
 
 McDowell, of the Thirty-ninth Ohio and Sergeant Smith of the- Twenty- 
 seventh ( >hio moved forward five miles over the battle field of the first day, 
 to reconnoiter. They passed the outer line of breastwork where lay on the 
 ground just as they had fallen, a number of Union dead, having been ex- 
 posed to the rays of the sun for two days. Their bodies were bloated, dis- 
 torted and blackened, they had been stripped of their clothing by the rebels, 
 and presented a hideous sight. The Confederates had moved their dead. 
 A few squads of the enemy who had been hiding in the woods were cap- 
 tured. After this demonstration, which lasted till after dark, the skirmish- 
 ers returned and found a supper waiting for them. It had been furnished 
 them by the sutler in consideration of the hardships and loss of food by 
 the men and also because his stores had been saved. 
 
 ( Ireat camp fires lighted up the horizon and the tired soldiers lay down 
 and slept on the battle field amid the dead and dying. 
 
 The Union loss was three hundred and fifty-five killed, and one thou- 
 sand, eight hundred and forty-nine wounded. Many others were wounded 
 but not reported in the official records, because having their wounds dressed 
 on the field, they immediately returned to their commands, so their names 
 do not appear on the hospital rolls. Thirty-three hundred stand of small 
 arms and fourteen stand of colors were captured. 
 
 Rosecrans in his report states that there were one thousand four 
 hundred and twenty-three Confederates buried, five thousand six hundred 
 and ninety-two wounded and two thousand, two hundred and sixty-eight 
 prisoners taken. 
 
 This battle was a terrible blow to the Confederacy, from which they 
 never recovered. Tbev advanced to battle with thirty-eight thousand men 
 who fought for two days a Union force of eighteen thousand. They picked 
 from their number twenty thousand of their bravest men and with fierce 
 determination, charged the Ohio Brigade. They were brave men but they 
 met trained and equally gallant soldiers. The battle of Corinth. Mississippi, 
 on ( ictober 4th, 1862. will be classed as one of the decisive battles of the 
 war for the Union. The result was a complete overthrow of a gigantic 
 plan, laid out by the Confederates, which if it had been successful, might 
 have placed the Union armies back on the Ohio River.

 the available rebel forces in North Mississippi, for tbe purpose of capturing 
 Corinth, or breaking up our line of communication and forcing us to retreat 
 toward Columbus. On October 3rd, Colonel Oliver took a strong position 
 with his three regiments and a section of artillery. By nine o'clock, the 
 enemy began to press them sharply and to outflank them. Between Mc- 
 Arthur's and Davies' left there was an interval. The enemy developed his 
 forces along that line. Ale Arthur retired from his position which gave tht 
 rebels an opportunity to advance behind Davies' left and forced it after an 
 obstinate resistance to fall back one thousand yards losing two heavy guns. 
 ( )ur troops fought with determined courage, firing very low. The enemy 
 was in full strength and meant mischief. Orders were given for lie Arthur 
 to fall back to the next ridge to touch on Davies' left, for Stanley (Second 
 Brigade ) to move northward and eastward to stand in close with McKean's 
 Division, but nearer town. General Hamilton was to face toward Chewalla. 
 
 The Dispositions for the Battle October 4th. 
 We had now before us as much of the army as the rebels had been able 
 to muster in Northern Mississippi. They were in the angle of the Columbus 
 and Memphis Roads. The plan was to rest our left on the batteries extend- 
 ing from Battery Robinett, our center on the slight ridge and our right on 
 the high ground covering both the Pittsburg and Purdy Roads. McKean 
 had the extreme left. Stanley with his well-tried Division, Batteries Wil- 
 liam and Robinett, was placed on the Memphis Railroad ami the Chewalla 
 Road, extending near to the Columbus Road. Davies' tried Division was 
 placed in the right center. Hamilton's staunch fighting Division was on the 
 right. 
 
 The Battle. 
 
 This early opening gave promise of a hot day's work. About nine 
 o'clock, our skirmishers in our front by their hot firing proclaimed the 
 presence of their forces preparing for the assault. Soon the heads of col- 
 umns were seen emerging to attack our center on Davies' first. Stanley's 
 next, and Hamilton's last. The drawing shows these positions and is re- 
 ferred to for the sake of brevity. I shall leave to pens dipped in poetic ink to 
 describe the gorgeous protean of the battle and paint in words of fire the 
 heroes of this fight. I can only say that when Price's left bore down on 
 our center in gallant style, their force was so overpowering that our wearied 
 and jaded troops yielded and fell back. I had the personal mortification of 
 witnessing this ontoward and untimely stampede. Riddled and scattered, 
 the ragged forces of Pierce's right storming columns penetrated near to 
 the north side of the square. When it was greeted by a storm of grape from 
 a section of Immel's Battery, soon re-enforced by the Tenth Ohio which 
 sent them whirling back, pursued by the Fifth Minnesota. Davies' right 
 rallied and retook Battery Powell. Hamilton having played upon the rebels 
 on his right, over the open field advanced upon them and they fled. The bat- 
 tle was over on the right. During this time, the skirmishers on the left were 
 twenty minutes after the attack on our right, the enemy advanced in four 
 columns on Battery Robinett. and were treated to grape and cannister until 
 within fifty yards, when the Ohio Brigade arose and gave them a murderous 
 fire of musketry before which they reeled and fell back to the woods. They, 
 however, gallantly reformed and advanced again to the charge led by Colo- 
 
92 Fuller's < )hio Brigade. 
 
 nel Rogers of the Second Texas. This time they reached the edge of the 
 ditch but the deadly musketry fire of the Ohio Brigade again broke them, 
 and at the word "Charge," the Eleventh Missouri and Twenty-seventh Ohio, 
 sprang up and forward at them, chasing their broken fragments into the 
 w Is. Thus at noon, ended the battle of October 4th. Our skirm- 
 
 ishers began to advance and found that their skirmishers had gone from 
 the field. * : I rode over our lines announcing the result in person, and 
 notified our victorious troops that after two days of fighting, two almost 
 sleepless nights of preparation, and march, I wished them to replenish their 
 cartridge boxes, haversacks, and stomachs, take an early sleep and start in 
 pursuit by daylight. * * * 
 
 The results of this bloody battle are : We fought the combined rebel 
 forces of Mississippi, commanded by Van Dorn and Price, Lovell, Ville- 
 pague, Rust and the remnants of Breckenridge's Corps numbering according 
 to their own authorities, thirty-eight thousand men. We signally defeated 
 them with a little more than half their number, and they fled leaving their 
 dead and wounded on the field. The enemy's loss in killed was fourteen 
 hundred and twenty-three and in wounded was five thousand six hundred 
 and ninety-two. We took two thousand, two hundred and sixty-eight 
 prisoners, representing sixty nine regiments, seven Battalions and Thirteen 
 Batteries. Besides separate companies, we took fourteen stands of colors, 
 two pieces of artillery, three thousand, three hundred stand of small arms, 
 forty-five thousand rounds of ammunition and a large lot of accoutrements. 
 The enemy blew up several ammunition wagons and carriages, between 
 Corinth and Chewalla, and the ground was strewn with tents, officers' mess 
 chests, and small arms. We pursued them forty miles in force and sixty 
 miles with calvary. ( )ur loss was only three hundred and fifteen killed, one 
 thousand, eight hundred and twelve wounded and two hundred and thirty- 
 two prisoners. The officers and men who in this battle deserve special men- 
 tion, most conspicuous, number one hundred and sixty-nine.

 Corinth to Kossuth, and marched to White-field's house, formerly the head- 
 quarters of Major-General Grant. While halting here the Forty-third 
 Ohio Infantry, Colonel Smith, and a section of the Third Michigan Battery, 
 which had been sent to Kussuth the day before, rejoined the Brigade. About 
 noon we marched to the outer line of defences on the westerly side of the 
 town, resting our right near Battery D, the artillery placed in position to 
 command the road leading from the west. An hour afterward we moved 
 by our right flank until we covered Ilattery E, and planted the artillery so 
 as to command the approaches to that work. About four o'clock in the 
 afternoon, orders came to retire to a position near the Seminary, upon 
 reaching which I gave orders at once to deploy into line. Before this was 
 full\- executed, we were again ordered to move to a point near to Battery 
 Williams, and again to proceed to the space between the Mobile and < )hii i 
 Railroad and the earthwork next easterly from that road. Forming line 
 upon the crest with our right resting near the work referred to, we stacked 
 arms, expecting to defend that position. After the troops were here supplied 
 with water and rations (a precaution on the part of the commanding Gen- 
 eral, of inestimable importance) we were again in motion, and crossing the 
 Mobile and Ohio Railroad, were soon occupying a position in front of Bat- 
 tery Willliams, from which General Davies' command was then being with- 
 drawn. The General commanding the Division placed the Forty-third Ohio 
 (Colonel J. L. Kirby Smith) in position near the crest of the ridge fronting 
 the west, the right of the regiment resting near Battery Robinett, while I in 
 accordance with his instructions, found the line fronting to the north as 
 follows: The Sixty-third Ohio (Colonel J. W. Sprague) with the left rest- 
 ing near the road which parses Battery Robinett, distant about thirty yards 
 from the battery; the Twenty-seventh Ohio (Major Z. S. Spaulding) next 
 on the right of the Sixty-third, and the Thirty-ninth Ohio (Colonel A. W. 
 Gilbert) holding the right of our line. The General having directed me to 
 look well to the guard, as soon as the line was formed I went to the out- 
 post, when I learned that the guard of General Davies' Division had been 
 withdrawn ; also that immediately the enemy's pickets advanced to the edge 
 of the woods, and had already fired with fatal effect upon the small squad of 
 dismounted cavalry which occupied the mad leading thence to our position. 
 1 immediately sent two companies of the Sixty-third Ohio to occupy this 
 road, with orders to press as far toward the woods as possible. The night 
 prevented my seeing with what force the enemy held the woods, and think- 
 ing it hazardous to move a small force along this road into the woods to be 
 there deployed, I ordered Major Spaulding, Twenty-seventh Ohio, to deploy 
 a line of skirmishers immediately in front of our lines, with instructions to 
 creep out cautiously through the fallen timber, and if possible, to gain and 
 hold the edges of the wood*. The skirmishers were not strong enough to 
 gain the woods, but they held a position from which they replied effectively 
 t<> the enemy's sharpshooters during the morning, firing no less than seventy 
 rounds to the man. The guard in the night succeeded in making a prisoner 
 of Captain Tobin land his bugler) who had planted his battery within two 
 hundred yards of our position, and who when captured, was making a re- 
 connaissance along the road leading from the woods. After daylight a por- 
 tion of this guard, under Captain Brown of the Sixty-third Ohio, crept up 
 to the edge of the forest and captured and brought into our line- a cais-

 son, with four horses attached, and soon after the James gun to which it 
 belonged was brought in by a squad of the First United State-- Infantry 
 from flattery Robinett. 
 
 I Jet ween three and four o'clock in the morning, the enemy's guns in 
 front of our position sounded the reveille, which instantly aroused the en- 
 tire command. Shot, shell, grape and canister were poured over the en- 
 tire field with great rapidity, but owing to the protection afforded by the 
 ground occupied, we suffered comparatively little loss. Captain Williams' 
 guns suddenly responded and the moment the light enabled him to aim with 
 precision, the enemy precipitately withdrew his batteries. 
 
 About nine or ten o'clock in the morning, three companies were detailed 
 under command of Major H. T. McDowell of the Thirty-ninth ( )hio, with 
 orders to deploy as skirmishers and, co-operating with those already ad- 
 vanced, to push forward into the woods and ascertain whether the enemy 
 was there in strength. This deployment was made under the personal direc-

The Assault by the Enemy. 97 
 
 tion of the General commanding the Division, and the skirmishers, soon 
 after reaching the woods, were driven back by the enemy, who was already 
 forming his column for the assault. As the indications increased that the 
 enemy would soon attack us, I moved the whole line, which faced north, a 
 little to the left, so as to bring the Sixty-third Ohio close to the ditch sur- 
 rounding the battery, the two companies of the Sixty-third on the left, 
 crossing and occupying the road. 
 
 At about eleven o'clock, while in Battery Robinett, I saw the enemy 
 approaching through the woods in four close columns, one moving down the 
 road, one to the west of it and moving nearly parallel with it. and two 
 others on the easterly side of the road. I afterward learned that the column 
 in the road was the Sixth Texas, their left column the Ninth Texas, and 
 the others Arkansas Regiments, whose numbers I failed to get, the four 
 regiments being the Brigade of General Phifer. Immediately in their rear 
 and supporting General Phifer, was the Brigade of Colonel Moore. As 
 soon as I saw the movement, I ordered Colonel J. L. Kirby Smith to change 
 his front forward, to better protect the battery. Thinking the enemy's 
 column, if resolute, would be sure to break the line of the Sixty-third Ohio 
 where it was so greatly exposed, I ordered the Eleventh Missouri (Major 
 Weber ) to a position directly in the rear of the Sixty-third and distant not 
 more than twenty-five yards, and directed Major Weber, in case the Sixty- 
 third gave way, to rise up and charge the enemy at a double-quick, and to be 
 particular not to fire a shot until he saw the backs of the enemy. 
 
 Directly after running along the line of the Sixty-third and Twenty- 
 seventh Regiments, I cautioned the men to hold their fire until the enemy 
 was close upon them. When the column in the road (which moved more 
 rapidly than the others) had approached within one hundred yards of our 
 line, the Sixty-third and some of the left companies of the Twenty-seventh 
 opened fire upon it. The head of the column almost instantly disappeared 
 and the rear recoiled rapidly to the edge of the woods. It was immedi- 
 ately reformed, and strengthened by another regiment, again advanced to 
 the assault with great gallantry. The Sixty-third Ohio, which had already 
 suffered greatly from a cloud of sharpshooters, seemed the principal tar- 
 get for the enemy, and almost immediately its ranks were so riddled and 
 broken I could see the enemy's column as well as if their line had never in- 
 tervened. Nine out of thirteen line officers had fallen, and with half their 
 number killed or wounded, the regiment fell back to the rear to reform. 
 
 At this moment the men of the Eleventh Missouri sprang to their feet 
 and received a volley which for the instant, staggered them. The next 
 moment they pressed forward with heroic gallantry, and the Twenty-seventh 
 Ohio, whose left had fallen back slightly, joining in the movement and unit- 
 ing their flanks, the two regiments rushed in splendid style upon the enemy, 
 instantly routing him and driving him in utter confusion from the field, 
 which was thickly strewn with the dead and wounded. A large number 
 were immediately made prisoners while the others, secreting themselves in 
 fallen timber and unable to escape, were brought in squads to our lines, 
 where all were sent to the guard near Battery Williams. Prom the best in- 
 formation I can obtain after diligent inquiry. T estimated the number at 
 about two hundred. 
 
98 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 During the movement just described on the right of Battery Robinett, 
 the Forty-third Ohio engaged the enemy on the left of that work. Thrown 
 into momentary disorder by the fall of their Colonel, and rallied by the 
 efforts of Lieutenant-Colonel Swayne and the General commanding the 
 Division, they successfully repulsed that column which marched west of 
 the road and shot every rebel who showed his head above the parapet of the 
 f< irt or attempted to enter through the embrasures. 
 
 I must not omit to mention the hand to hand fight which occurred be- 
 tween the Ninth Texas and the Twenty-seventh Ohio. As the Ninth Texas 
 approached our lines, and when distant not more than six or eight yards, 
 Orrin B. Gould, a private in Company G, Twenty-seventh ( )hio, shot the 
 Texas color bearer, who was marching at the head of the column. Seeing 
 the colors fall, young Gould with others sprang forward to secure them, 
 when a rebel officer sang out to his men, "Save the colors," and at the same 
 time put a bullet into the breast of Gould. The young hero was not to be 
 intimidated, however, and bore away the rebel flag in triumph. 
 
 About one o'clock in the afternoon, the rebels again showed them- 
 selves in force in front of our position, a little to the left of the ground from 
 which their column moved upon us, whereupon I ordered Captain Maurice, 
 commanding Light Battery F United States Artillery, to plant two twelve- 
 pounder howitzers near and to the west of Battery Robinett. Two com- 
 panies of the Eleventh Missouri were placed in the ditch surrounding the 
 fort and the Thirty-ninth Ohio (Lieutenant-Colonel Xoyes) moving by their 
 left flank, was formed in rear of the battery, the right wing facing to the 
 north and the left to the west. It was a source of regret to me and a dis- 
 appointment to the officers and men that this splendid regiment had no 
 opportunity to show the rebels their power. 
 
 Inasmuch as the batteries belonging to this Brigade were ordered away, 
 and I remained unadvised of the position assigned them, I was unable to 
 speak of the part taken by them in action. Fortunately I learned the 
 whereabouts of Captain Maurice when his howitzers were needed, and I 
 hear the conduct of the battery spoken of in such flattering terms by the 
 officers upon whom I rely that I feel proud to know that it is a part of this 
 command. I doubt not the chief of artillery will do full justice to that and 
 to the other battery in this brigade. 
 
 In the disposition of troops as well as in other matters herein referred 
 to, I followed carefully and minutely the instructions I had received from 
 the General commanding the Division, excepting when the suddenness of 
 the enemy's movements gave me no opportunity to refer to him ; in these 
 instances I did not hesitate to give such orders as I deemed necessary. 
 
 To the officers commanding regiments no small share of praise is due 
 for the brilliant victory which was won. Colonel J. L. K. Smith, the most 
 accomplished officer in the brigade, fell at the head of his regiment while 
 giving his commands as if at parade, and Lieutenant-Colonel Swayne as- 
 suming command under the most trying circumstances, soon restored order 
 in his regiment, and fought it with the utmost gallantry. Colonel J. W. 
 Sprague, whose regiment had the most exposed position, stood at his post 
 cheering his men on when two-thirds of his officers and half his command 
 had fallen, and in an incredibly short space of time reformed his men and 
 
Si mi ment of Casualties. 99 
 
 brought them again into line. Colonel Gilbert, thrown from his horse before 
 the assault was made, left his regiment in command of Lieutenant-Colonel 
 Noyeg, an officer who is efficient and faithful as he is brave and determined. 
 Major Z. S. Spaulding, the only field officer with the Twenty-seventh, com- 
 manded with marked ability, checking the enthusiasm of the men until the 
 proper moment, and pressing them forward when the enemy was in a situ- 
 ation to be crushed. 
 
 Major Weber, commanding the Eleventh Missouri, though not attached 
 to this brigade, fought under my command during the action and displayed 
 much of the true soldier, and handled his regiment with skill that I should 
 do injustice to my own feelings did I not speak of him in this connection. 
 He is doubtless one of the best officers in this division and deserves great 
 praise for his conduct during the battle. 
 
 I should not close my report without acknowledging my obligations to 
 Captain W. H. Lathrop, of my staff, whose coolness and good judgment ren- 
 dered him of very good assistance to me ; nor to Captain C. W. Dustin, my 
 Assistant Adjutant-General, whose promptness in the execution of orders 
 and whose gallant bearing meet my hearty approval. The mounted Order- 
 lies (detailed from the Thirty-sixth Illinois) two of whom were wounded 
 and two of whose horses were shot down during the action, also deserve 
 especial thanks for their soldierly conduct.

 was short, the victory was not gained without a desperate struggle.

 Our rejoicings over the result are mingled with bitter grief as we 
 think of the brave hearts that have ceased to beat. The Forty-third Ohio 
 has been signally afflicted. Colonel J. L. Kirby Smith, who died this after- 
 noon (October 13) enjoyed not only the confidence and the esteem of every 
 officer of this command, but was respected and loved by the whole army. 
 The loss of Captain Spangler is one which his regiment will long and deeply 
 feel, and in First Lieutenant Heyl. Adjutant of the regiment, has passed 
 away one of the most genial, faithful, and useful officers of this brigade. 
 The Sixty-third Ohio recounts the loss of Captain McFadden who died a 
 patriotic death, fearlessly discharging his duty. The Twenty-seventh Ohio 
 in First Lieutenant W. S. Webb, lost one of the most able and valuable 
 officers on its rolls. Enduring physical powers, an iron will, a clear head, 
 and a cultivated intellect rendered him peculiarly useful to the service, and 
 gave promise of prominence and great influence in the future. Xor shall

 A HERO AT CORINTH. 
 
 A TALE OF VALOR TOLD BY COLONEL FULLER OF THE TWENTY-SEVENTH OHIO 
 IN A LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR OF OHIO. 
 
 "The rebels in four close columns were pressing with gallantry amount- 
 ing to recklessness, upon the Ohio Brigade, with the evident intention of 
 breaking our lines, when the terrible and incessant fire of our men drove 
 them back in the utmost confusion. 
 
 "The Ninth Texas bore down upon the left center of the Twenty- 
 seventh Ohio with this flag at the head of their column, and advanced to 
 within six or eight yards of our lines, when Orrin B. Gould, a private of 
 Companv G, shot down the color bearer and rushed forward for the rebel 
 flag. 
 
 "A rebel officer shouted to his men to 'save the colors' and at the same 
 moment put a bullet into the breast of Gould. But the young hero was not 
 to be intimidated. With the flagstaff in his hand, and the bullet in his 
 breast, he returned to his regiment waving the former defiantly in the faces 
 of the enemy. 
 
 "After the battle when visiting the hospital, I found young Gould 
 stretched upon the cot, evidently in great pain. Upon seeing me, his pale face 
 was instantly radiant with smiles and pointing to his wound, he said, 'Col- 
 onel. I don't care for this, since I got their flag.' "

 Dear Colonel: — 
 
 I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of your letter on the 
 9th instant, accompanying the bloody flag of the Ninth Texas Regiment, 
 captured by the gallant Orrin B. Gould, a Private of Company G, in your 
 regiment, in the great battle fought on the 4th instant near Corinth. The 
 brave and daring act of Gould, when made known to the loyal people of our 
 State, will fill their hearts with joy and gratitude. I am pained to learn 
 that the wound received by this hero proved fatal, and that he is no longer 
 in the land of the living, to enjoy the rich reward due to his gallantry. 
 But, although dead, I have determined to give his relatives and brother 
 soldiers evidence of my appreciation of his noble conduct; and therefore 
 herewith enclose you a commission for him as Captain in your Regiment, of 
 the date of your great Battle October 4th, 1862. 
 
L02 P *'s ( Mini Brig vde. 
 
 The bloody flag sent me I have given a prominent position in the room 
 in the State House appropriate to the keeping of the many trophies taken 
 on the field of battle by the brave and loyal hearts from Ohio, and, as the 
 most fitting account of our possession of this trophy, I attach your elegant 
 and manly letter to the Flag. 
 
 In this connection, allow me to assure you and the brave men under 
 your command, that the noble bearing and gallantry of your regiment, on 
 that bloody field, is fully appreciated by the people of Ohio. Make this 
 known to the heroes of your regiment, and assure them that when this war 
 is over, and our glorious old flag can again float over every inch of the 
 territory possessed by the United States, and they, thus permitted to return 
 to their homes they love so much, will receive the hearty greetings of all 
 who appreciate our glorious institutions.

 Twenty-seventh Ohio Infantry. 
 In the Field near Ripley, October 9th, 1862. 
 
 This regiment left camp on the Tuscumbia River on the morning of 
 Friday the 3rd instant, and marched with the brigade to a point about one 
 and one-half mile from Corinth, and inside the outer line of defences. 
 From here we marched to what was formerly known as Battery D, where 
 we took our position as support to Maurice's Battery. Soon after, we re- 
 tired into the town and formed our lines on the north side of the place. 
 During the night, we changed our position to one in front and on the right 
 of the northwest defences of Corinth, and I was ordered to form my line, 
 on the right of what is known as Battery Robinett. 
 
 At one o'clock on the 4th instant, I sent Company B, under command 
 of First Lieutenant Bryan, as skirmishers into the woods, about four hun- 
 dred yards to the front, where they remained, doing good execution, until 
 driven back by a heavy force of the enemy, about eleven o'clock. At nine 
 o'clock in the morning, I sent out Company A, First Lieutenant Sawyer 
 commanding, as skirmishers, who were driven back at the same time. At 
 daylight a rebel battery in the woods in front of us opened a heavy fire, 
 most of their shots going over us, but from wdiich we had one man killed 
 and three wounded. At eleven o'clock, a heavy force of the enemy ap- 
 peared in our front. They advanced upon us in four columns, by the flank. 
 one of which, headed by the Ninth Texas, came forward in the direction 
 of the left wing of this regiment. T ordered the men to hold their fire until 
 the enemy came within short range and screen themselves as much as pos- 
 sible by means of the brush in front of them. As the enemy came up the 
 hill, the Twenty-seventh poured into them a galling fire, advancing as they 
 did so until it became almost a hand to hand conflict. 
 
 At this time the Sixty-third Ohio, upon our left, was forced back and 
 I found my left and rear w : as being endangered. I therefore ordered my left 
 to form a line with the Eleventh Missouri, just brought up to take the 
 place of the Sixty-third Ohio, and together we charged over the hill, driv-

 ing the enemy in great confusion and with great loss, and the engagement 
 so far as we were concerned, was practically ended. Our loss amounted 
 to nine killed including one commissioned officer (First Lieutenant Webb 
 of Company G), forty-seven wounded, including two commissioned officers 
 (Captain Lynch and Lieutenant Young of Company G) and six missing, 
 who I have since learned were wounded, and reported a few hours later. 
 A number of others received wounds but were not reported. 
 
 Saturday night, my men slept upon their arms upon the field, and on 
 Sunday morning, marched with the brigade in pursuit of the enemy. Tues- 
 day night, we bivouaced about five miles from Ripley. Wednesday morn- 
 ing, I was ordered out on reconnaissance under Lieutenant-Colonel Swayne, 
 and proceeded to a point on the road from Rienzi to Ripley. Five com- 
 panies of this regiment were used as skirmishers upon this occasion. We 
 found no trace of the enemy save a few stragglers from the rebel army. 
 The same evening we returned to our former bivouac. 
 
 During the entire engagement and march my officers and men behaved 
 with great credit and to my entire satisfaction.

 Thirty-ninth Ohio. 
 Camp near Ripley, Mississippi, October 9, 1862. 
 
 On the 3rd instant, this regiment marched under orders, from place of 
 bivouac, near Kossuth, to Corinth, arriving about five o'clock in the after- 
 noon. Our men having marched without water during the day. it was 
 deemed expedient to draw in wagons enough to satisfy immediate neces- 
 sities. Before all were supplied the evening was far advanced. 
 
 During the night, the Thirty-ninth Ohio was posted on the right of 
 the First Brigade. General Stanley's Division on the Purdy Road west 
 of Corinth. At daybreak on the morning of the 4th, * ' * * the enemy 
 commenced shelling our position, but were driven from their guns by our 
 fire. 
 
 About nine o'clock in the morning, two companies of this regiment, A 
 and K.. were sent to the front, north of the Purdy Road, and deployed as 
 skirmishers under Major McDowell, * ' * * who had been detailed to 
 command the skirmishers of the brigade. They advanced into the woods, 
 discovered the enemy in force, and were immediately fired upon along the 
 whole line. Soon the Confederate columns were observed moving in a 
 southeasterly direction from the woods toward the town and two brigades 
 advanced to charge the battery, which the Ohio Brigade was posted to 
 support. The Thirty-ninth Ohio was ordered to look well to the right, and 
 to be prepared for an attempt by the enemy, then near the town, to turn 
 our right flank, but the other regiments of the brigade being hard pressed 
 by the greatly superior force attacking them, this regiment was ordered to 
 move by the flank to the left, to support the Twenty-seventh, Forty-third 
 and Sixty-third Ohio Regiments. We accordingly took position with our 
 right wing fronting to the north and our left wing at right angles to it. 
 fronting- to the west, and we so remained during the dav.

 The line of our skirmishers, when the engagement became general, being 
 covered by the cross fire of the battery in our rear, which was working 
 against the columns of the enemy, approaching the town, Major McDowell 
 withdrew them and ordered them to rejoin the regiment. The skirmishers 
 did good service, keeping a rapid and well directed fire upon the columns 
 of the enemy, massed within easy range of the lines. The enemy being re- 
 pulsed with terrible loss on all sides, fell back. During the night. Com- 
 panies D and (i of this regiment, with others of the brigade, under Major 
 McDowell were sent out to discover the position of the enemy, who were 
 found to have made a precipitate retreat, leaving his dead and wounded 
 upon the field. * * * * 
 
 Early on the morning of the 5th, we commenced the pursuit. We 
 bivouaced that night on the state line road near Chewalla. 
 
 On the 6th we marched to Crums Mills on the Hatchie River, and on 
 the 7th, to a point northeast of Ripley, where we lay upon our arms during 
 the night, the enemy being reported near. On the 8th, with the 27th and 
 43rd, made a reconnaissance four miles east of Ripley. * * * *

 Near Ripley, Mississippi, October 9th, 1862. 
 
 I submit the following report of the part taken by this command in the 
 recent battle of Corinth : 
 
 The regiment in command of Colonel J. L. Kirby Smith, moved from 
 Kossuth on the morning of the 3rd instant, and, rejoining the brigade at 
 the crossing of the Tuscumbia, reach Corinth at sundown. The same even- 
 ing, we took position in line, facing northwest, along the crest of a ridge, 
 connecting a large battery half a mile north of Corinth, and known as 
 Battery Williams, with a small one, distant about the length of our line, and 
 known to us as Battery Robinett. 
 
 We remained in line during the night and throughout the action of the 
 next day. At four o'clock in the morning, a field battery of the enemy 
 took position a few hundred yards to our right and slightly in our rear, and 
 opened fire, which was chiefly directed at the two earthworks between which 
 we lay. During this fire we lost two men killed, and ten wounded. 
 
 Between daylight and ten o'clock in the morning our wounded were 
 increased to eighteen by the fire of the enemy's sharpshooters, posted in 
 trees. At the time of the general attack, toward noon, the enemy advanced 
 a great force, nearly in the direction of our lines, upon the lesser earth- 
 work on our right. Our front was immediately changed forward on first 
 company, so as to afford us more direct range. At this moment our regi- 
 ment suffered the most severely. Colonel Smith fell, dangerously shot 
 through the head; Adjutant Heyl was mortally wounded in the bowels. 
 and Captain J. M. Spangler, of Company A, was instantly killed by a ball 
 through the head. 
 
106 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 Fire was kept up upon the enemy during and after the execution of 
 the movement, until the head of his column had gained the parapet, and 
 opened fire on our rear from the opposite side of the earthwork on our 
 right. The regiment was then moved slightly to the left and the right 
 thrown back, so as to fire into the battery and meet the enemy in the new 
 direction. This movement was attended with confusion, which was prompt- 
 ly checked on the appearance and by the efforts of General Stanley. The 
 enemy was driven from the parapet, the right advanced into the battery, 
 and the advance of the enemy, on the right of the battery, being meanwhile 
 repulsed, our left was again thrown forward and assisted in driving the 
 enemy into the woods. He made no further demonstration againt that part 
 of our lines. 
 
 The behavior of the regiment was under your own inspection. I am 
 proud to state that not one of the officers thus suddenly left to my com- 
 mand, failed to do his duty with alacrity. I should do injustice if I failed 
 to mention the valuable services of Major Herrick, after the irreparable 
 loss of our commanding officer. 
 
 Colonel Smith was wounded while displaying the utmost gallantry. 
 Captain Spangler and Lieutenant Heyl fell in the courageous discharge of 
 their duty. Captain S. F. Timmons and Lieutenants S. McClaren, H. S. 
 Prophet and A. L. Howe being wounded, bore up without a murmur. 
 
 Our loss was sixteen killed and seventy-four wounded, embracing 
 many of our best and bravest. Our grief for the fallen is tempered by 
 their honorable death, and our sympathy for the wounded is heightened by 
 the knowledge that their hearts are in the cause. * * * *

 Report of Colonel John W . Spraguc, Sixty-third Ohio, Infantry, First 
 Brigade, Second Division, Army of the Mississippi. 
 
 Near Ripley, Mississippi, October 9th, 1862. 
 Nine companies of my command (Company D, Captain Fouts, being 
 on detached duty) consisting of two hundred and seventy-five men, left 
 camp near Tuscumbia River, about three o'clock in the morning of the 3rd 
 instant and marched to Corinth, distant about six miles, during the morn- 
 ing. Our position was changed several times. In the evening we rested 
 near the fort, north of Major-General Rosecrans' headquarters. About ten 
 o'clock at night, I was ordered to take position immediately on the right of 
 the field redoubt (armed with three twenty-pounder parrot guns) in front 
 and to the left of Captain Williams' fort and headquarters. On the left of 
 the first named work was the Forty-third Ohio and on my right was the 
 Twenty-seventh Ohio. * Soon after taking this position. Companies 
 
 I! and G commanded by Captain C, 1'".. Brown and Lieutenant Browning, 
 were seHf out on the Chewalla Road to the north and west from Corinth. 
 During the night. Captain Brown captured Captain Toben of Toben's (Ten- 
 nessee) Battery and hi- Bugler and brought them in. They were sent for- 
 ward to the headquarters of General D. S. Stanley. 
 
Colonel Joh.n \Y. Sprague's Report. 107 
 
 Captain Brown heard the enemy near his position planting a battery 
 and at about four o'clock in the morning, fired several volleys — it was be- 
 lieved with good effect. Almost immediately after the enemy opened fire 
 from their battery planted in our front, distant less than three hundred 
 yards. During the morning several of our men were wounded by the fire 
 from this battery and by the enemy's sharpshooters. About ten o'clock in 
 the morning, the enemy's columns were seen emerging from the woods into 
 the partly open ground in our front. My men were kept lying down until 
 the enemy had advanced within fifty yards of our position. Our fire was 
 then delivered with such effect as to check their advance, but they were 
 again pushed on and again checked and forced to retire, leaving the ground 
 literally covered with dead and wounded. 
 
 They again advanced after a short interval and opened a furious fire 
 upon us. At the same time a column of the enemy charged the redoubt im- 
 mediately on my left and advanced in strong force in front. The fire to 
 which my regiment was exposed at this time was terrific and deadly. Soon 
 the enemy on my left had advanced so far as to pour an infilading fire along 
 nearly the whole line of my regiment. My left was thrown back slightly 
 to meet this assault and our fire was delivered with such effect upon the 
 enemy who had reached the ditch of the redoubt mentioned as to nearly 
 fill the ditch with their dead and wounded. Every officer and man of my 
 command seemed to put forth superhuman exertions to hold our position, 
 but no troops could long stand against such unequal odds pouring a fire 
 upon front and flank. 
 
 Out of thirteen line officers, nine were killed or wounded, and forty- 
 five per cent of my whole force shared the same fate to say nothing of the 
 number necessarily detailed to carry off the wounded. As an evidence of 
 the deadly fire to which my left was exposed, I may say that fifty-three 
 per cent was either killed or wounded, and not an officer left except Captain 
 Brown. My left wing and center fell back at my order and were gallantly 
 replaced by the Eleventh Missouri Volunteers. In less than ten minutes, 
 one hundred and thirty-five of my regiment were formed in the front line 
 in good order and there remained during the rest of the day and through 
 the following night, but the battle was over and a most brilliant victory won. 
 
 I need not attempt to describe the fierce assault and murderous fire 
 to which my command was exposed, either to General Stanley, commanding 
 the Division, or to Colonel Fuller, commanding the Brigade, for the fight- 
 ing of my regiment was in their immediate presence and many of my men 
 fell fighting bravely within an arm's length of them. 
 
 I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of the officers and men under 
 my command. Captain Frank T. Gillmore. Company A. was never, I be- 
 lieve, excelled by any young officer for efficiency and daring. When the 
 enemy commenced the principal infantry attack, he was in front with his 
 skirmishers. The fierceness of the assault forced him to retire around the 
 Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiment and thus regain his position in line, which he 
 did at double-quick arriving in time to open fire with the rest of the regi- 
 ment. Captain Brown, Company B, on the extreme left, went out with' 
 twelve men and brought in one of the enemy's caissons, under a sharp fire. 
 Captain Christopher E. Smith. Company C. was severely wounded in the 
 leg but refused to go to the rear until the fight was over and the victory

 won. He displayed rare gallantry and ability. Captain George W. Fitz- 
 simmons and Lieutenant William H. Cherry, Company E, were both wound- 
 ed but fought bravely to the end. First Lieutenant Xesbit Conley, com- 
 manding Company F, was stunned by a blow on the head, but joined again 
 in the tight almost immediately. Lieutenant John W. Browning command- 
 ing Company G, was wounded three times before leaving the field. Captain 
 Oscar L. Jackson, Company H, a young officer of great promise, was se- 
 verely and it is feared mortally wounded. He held his company in perfect 
 order until two-thirds of his men were killed or wounded. First Lieutenant 
 William Cornell, commanding Company I, exhibited the finest qualities of 
 an officer during the entire day. Second Lieutenant James A. ( iillmon of 
 the same company received a painful wound, but insisted that the more 
 severely wounded should be cared for first. His conduct during the fight 
 was most gallant. First Lieutenant W. W . Mason, Company C, behaved 
 with coolness and bravery during the fight. Captain James McFadden, Com- 
 pany K, just promoted, an earnest and intelligent officer, fell mortally 
 wounded, dying - the death of a patriot. Lieutenant S. W. Cunningham be- 
 haved bravely, and was severely wounded in the face. Captain Otis 
 W. Pollock, Acting Adjutant, rendered efficient and gallant service 
 during the day. Assistant Surgeon A. 1!. Monahan was knocked from his 
 horse in the morning by a piece of shell striking him near the eye, but when 
 I visited the hospital in the evening, I found of the ninety of my wounded, 
 that had been brought in, every one had been dressed and tenderly cared for 
 by him. Acting Assistant Surgeons Marsh and Arnold were ordered to re- 
 port on the field. First Lieutenant 1 lolly Skinner. Regimental Quarter- 
 master, rendered most effective service. Chaplain Benjamin St. James was 
 zealous in his efforts to provide comforts and in caring for the wounded. 
 
 Early on the morning of the 5th instant, I joined with my command 
 in the pursuit of Van Dorn's and Price's Armies. On the 7th, we reached 
 a point near Ripley. * * The list of killed, wounded and missing shows 
 
 a loss of twenty-four killed, one hundred and five wounded (eight mor- 
 tally) and three missing, or forty-eight per cent of the entire number taken 
 into action.

 Report of Captain Edward H. Cummings, C. S. A.. Acting Inspector- 
 General, on the Battle of Coriiith, including the Engagement at the 
 Hatchie River and Holly Springs, Mississippi. 
 
 October 11th, 1862. 
 Dear General: 
 
 < 'n the morning of < >ctober 3rd, with about fifteen thousand men or 
 sixteen thousand (effective), we attacked Corinth on the northwest side. 
 Lovell with three brigades forming our right, and Price with seven, our 
 left. The attack commenced about eight-thirty. By eleven o'clock we had 
 felt our way up to the rifle pits which we constructed last spring about 
 
Captain Edward H. Cumming's, C. S. A.. Report. 109 
 
 three miles from the town, and ahout twelve o'clock we stormed them. 
 They were not obstinately defended and our loss was small. Lovell then 
 took the south side of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, and we the 
 north, and moved on. Uur Division (Maury's) right of Price, and center 
 of army, was soon hotly engaged and swept several brigades before u^. 
 until we reached the inner line of works which the Yankees had put up in 
 Corinth a few hundred yards from the intersection of the Railroads. 
 Moore's (our First) Brigade did the heavy business, carrying three camps 
 and turning a strong redoubt in Lovell's front, saving him the trouble of 
 carrying it, and we rested that night within four or five hundred yards of 
 the works mentioned. All night a great rattling of wagons and shouting 
 of teamsters and suppressed murmurs of hurrying hosts denoted great 
 activity, from which some of us surmised that the enemy was evacuating. 
 
 Before dawn, fourteen pieces of artillery commenced playing on the 
 town (Corinth) and batteries from the front of our lines, four hundred or 
 five hundred yards, as I said, and were replied to by an immensely superior 
 and concentrating fire, which as soon as daylight revealed us perfectlv ex- 
 posed, compelled us to withdraw. One piece, however, was captured by a 
 sortie of the enemy's skirmishers. We then advanced and entered Corinth. 
 Uur Division obtained the ground from the Tishomingo Hotel, back of 
 Bragg's old headquarters. Hebert was on our left and occupied the works 
 on the ridge northwest of your house. But we scarcely got in when 
 we met and were overwhelmed* 1)\ the enemy's massive reserve-.. Our lines 
 melted under their tire like snow in thaw. The fragments who escaped 
 formed again before we got beyond the fire of the batteries and Lovell came 
 over and became rear guard, and we fell back nine miles that night; our 
 division did not number eight hundred men. 
 
 Next morning we fell back, intending to retreat by the same route 
 by which we had approached, but found the passage of the Hatchie River 
 disputed by Hurlbut's Corps, twelve thousand strung, which had marched 
 across from Bolivar and reached Pocahontas before us. The bridge was 
 about two miles from Pocohontas. Moore's and Phifer's remnants of bri- 
 gades crossed and were again gobbled up and we lost one battery. The 
 rest of the division got up and, though greatly exhausted, managed to hold 
 the enemy in check for two hours, the other fragments of brigades and 
 regiments composing Hebert's division coming up feebly and supporting us. 
 We gave up the attempt to cross and fell back again and marched by anoth- 
 er route to the south. The enemv had burned the bridge by which we now 
 hoped to get out but Frank C. Armstrong, who proved our salvation, had, 
 with great foresight and energy rebuilt it. The enemy did not pursue with 
 any great vigor, and we saved nearly everything but our wounded, and some 
 of them. Bowen lost part of his train. We brought off two captured guns 
 and lost five, and brought along three hundred prisoners. I do not know 
 the loss of the (our) army. Price is reduced from ten thousand to between 
 five thousand and six thousand. Lovell has not suffered a great deal. The 
 enemy's force I do not know. When we got into Corinth, he 5wal 
 lowed up seven brigades of as good fighting men as I ever saw, in about 
 twenty minutes. He had abundance of heavy artillery of heavy caliber. I 
 saw ten-inch shot in the field. No casualities in staff except Major Balfour 
 killed, an elegant and gallant gentleman, and young Sullivane taken and 
 
HO Fuller's Ohio Brigadj 
 
 since parolled, both of \'an Dorn's start. .Mere than one-half of the line 
 officers of our ( Price's) army are killed, wounded and missing. 
 
 After all that has happened, I am happy to say that the moral of the 
 army, or what is left of it, is astonishingly good. 
 
 General Maury has looked over this and says it is clear and correct.

 Honorable Secretary of War: 
 
 Dispatch received at Pocohontas near Corinth. Attacked Corinth, took 
 all the outer works by storm and got within the town. Enemy received 
 fresh reinforcements and we could not complete the work ; retired. The 
 Bolivar force (Grant's) came down on my line of retreat and prevented 
 crossing of the Hatchie ; moved south ; crossed six miles below and now' at 
 Ripley with all baggage and as many of the wounded as we could carry. 
 Bloody affair ; enemy still threatens : will fight him at all points ; there are 
 about forty thousand still in Tennessee ; will have hard fighting. 
 
 Earl Van Dorn, Major-General. 
 Indorsement — Respectfully submitted to the President: 
 
 It will be necessary to re-enforce at once if possible. 
 
 The ground was well known to me and required no study to determine 
 where to make the attack. 
 
 In the judgment of military men, Corinth is the key to the whole posi- 
 tion. Its stragetic importance has been recognized by the enemy as well 
 as by ourselves.

 Partial Report of Confederate General Van Dorn. 
 
 "The heavy guns of the enemy were all silenced, and all seemed about 
 ended when a heavy fire from fresh troops from Iuka, Burnsville and 
 Rienzi' who had succeeded in reaching Corinth, poured into our thinned 
 ranks a disastrous fire. Exhausted from loss of sleep, wearied from hard 
 marching and fighting, companies and regiments without officers, our troops 
 (let no one censure them) gave way. The day was lost. The attempt at 
 Corinth has failed, and in consequence I am condemned and have been sup- 
 erseded in my command." 
 
 Partial Report of General Price. 
 
 "The history of this war contains no bloodier page, perhaps, than that 
 which will record this fiercely contested battle. The strongest expressions 
 fall short of my admiration for the gallant conduct of the officers and men 
 under my command. Words cannot add luster to the fame they have ac- 
 quired through deeds of noble daring which, living through future time, 
 will shed about every man. officer and soldier, who stood to his arms 
 through this struggle, a halo of glory as imperishable as it is brilliant. They 
 have won to their sisters and daughters the distinguished honor, the proud 
 exclamation, 'My father' or 'My brother was at the great battle of Corinth." 
 
 The following, written by Lieutenant Labruzan of the Confederate 
 Forty-second Alabama, is his experience during that fierce and determined 
 contest at Corinth : 
 
 On the morning of October 4, 1862, we marched with General Van 
 Dorn in command of our army of fully thirty-eight thousand men. On 
 October 3rd, we had the Reveille by bugle at four o'clock in the morning, 
 and marched into Mississippi. At half-past six we heard artillery firing. 
 Skirmishing was kept up until we crossed the Memphis and Charleston Rail- 
 road. Our Brigade under General Moore, marched into the woods and 
 formed line of Battle. Heavy skirmishing with steady and increasing can- 
 nonading was heard in front. Men were detailed to attend to the wounded. 
 We left our blankets and knapsacks here. 
 
 At about ten o'clock our brigade marched through a corn field and 
 formed into line within half a mile of the enemy. Heavy firing was heard 
 just in front. Saturday, October 4th. was an awful day. At four in the 
 morning our brigade was ordered to the left, throwing out skirmishers who 
 kept up a constant fire. A battery in front of the right of our regiment 
 opened briskly, and the enemy replied the same for an hour and a half. 
 Our regiment lay down close and stood it nobly. The shells flew thick and 
 fast, cutting off large limbs from the trees and filling the air with fragments, 
 many bursting within twenty feet, and the pieces within two or three feet. 
 It was extremely unpleasant and I prayed for forgiveness of my sins, and 
 made up my mind to go through. 
 
 I volunteered, and took my company to assist the Second Texas skirm- 
 ishers. We got behind trees and logs, and the way the bullets did fly was 
 
112 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 unpleasant to hear. I think twenty must have passed within a few feet of 
 me. Shells and splinters struck my tree several times. We could only 
 move from tree to tree, bending low to the ground while moving. O! how 
 anxiously 1 watched for the bursting of shells when the heavy roar of the 
 cannon proclaimed their coming! 
 
 Suddenly at ten o'clock, while behind a log with Major Purges, the 
 right fairly opened with heavy volleys of musketry, double thundering can- 
 non. This was on the right. In a few moments the left went into action 
 in splendid style. At half past ten, Colonel Rogers came up by us, saying 
 only "Alabama forces." Our regiment with the brigade rose unmindful 
 of shot or shell, and moved forward, marching about two hundred and fifty 
 yards, and mounting the crest of the hill. The whole of Corinth with its 
 enormous fortifications* burst upon our view. The United States flag was 
 waving over the forts and town. We were met by a perfect storm of grape, 
 cannon balls and minnie balls. O ! God, I have never seen the like. The 
 men fell like grass even here. Giving one tremendous cheer, we dashed 
 to the brow of the hill on which the fortifications were situated. Here we 
 found every foot of the ground covered with large trees and brush cut down 
 to impede our progress. Looking to the right and left I saw several brigades 
 charging at the same time. 
 
 I saw men running at full speed, stop suddenly and fall upon their faces, 
 with their brains scattered all around, others with legs and arms cut off, 
 shrieked with agony. They fell behind, beside and within a few feet of me. 
 I gave myself to God and got ahead of my company. The ground was 
 literally strewn with mangled corpses. One ball went through my pants, 
 and they cut twigs right by me. It seemed by holding out my hand I could 
 have caught a dozen. They buzzed and hissed by me in all directions, but 
 I still pressed forward. I seemed to be moving right in the mouth of the 
 cannon, for the air was filled with grape. Ahead was one continuous blaze. 
 I rushed to the ditch of the fort, right between some large cannon. I 
 grappled into and half way up the sloping wall. The enemy was only three 
 or four feet from me on the other side of the wall, but could not shoot us 
 for fear of having their heads blown off. Our men were in the same pre- 
 dicament, only five or six were on the wall and thirty or forty in and around 
 the ditch. A man by my side put his head up cautiously to shoot into the 
 fort, but he suddenly dropped his musket and his brains were dashed in a 
 stream over my fine coat. Several were killed here on top of one another 
 and rolled down the embankment in ghastly heaps. This was done by a 
 regiment of Yankee^ coming about forty yards on our left, after finding us 
 entirely cut off, and firing into us. Several of our men cried, "Put down 
 the flag," and it was lowered and shot into the ditch. O ! we were butchered 
 like dogs, as we were not supported. Some one placed a white handker- 
 chief on Sergeant Buck's musket and took it to a port hole, but the yankees 
 >natched it off and took him prisoner. The men fell ten at a time ; the ditch 
 being full, and finding we had no chance, the survivors tried to save them- 
 selves as best they could. I was so far up I could not get off quickly. 
 Captain Foster and I started together, while the air was literally filled with

 hissing balls. I went about twenty steps as quickly as I could, about a dozen 
 being killed in that distance. I fell down and scrambled behind a large 
 stump. Just then I saw poor Foster throw up his hands, and saying "( )! 
 my God" jumped about two feet from the ground, falling on his face. The 
 top of his head seemed to cave in and the blood spurted straight up several 
 feet. I could see men falling as they attempted to run, some with their 
 heads torn to pieces and some with blood streaming from their backs. It 
 was terrible. One poor fellow, being almost on me, told me his name and 
 asked me to take his pocket book if I escaped and give it to his mother, and 
 tell her he died a brave man. I told him to pray which he did, the cannon 
 thundering an accompaniment. Poor fellow, I forgot his request in the 
 excitement. His legs were literally cut to pieces. 
 
 As our men returned, the enemy poured in their fire, and I was hardly 
 thirty feet from the mouth of the cannon. Minnie balls filled the stump I 
 was behind, and the shells bursting near it stunned me. The grape shot 
 hewed large pieces off my stump, gradually wearing it away. I endured the 
 horrors of death here for half an hour. 
 
 I endeavored to resign myself and prayed. Our troops formed in line 
 in the woods and advanced a second time to the charge with cheers. They 
 began firing when about half way, and I endured it all. I was feigning 
 death. In the first charge our men did not fire a gun but charged across the 
 ditch and to the very mouth of the cannon with the bayonet. So also the 
 second charge, but they fired. Thank God I am unhurt. Our boys were 
 shot down like hogs and could not stand it, and fell back each man for 
 himself. Then the same scene was enacted as before. This time the 
 yankees charged after them and as I had no chance at all and all around 
 me, men were surrendering I was compelled to do so, as a rascal threatened 
 to shoot me. I had to give up my sword to him and we were marshalled to a 
 large house. There were about four hundred officers and privates. We 
 were treated very politely, more so than I expected. 
 
CHAPTER XV. 
 
 RETREAT OF THE ENEMY FROM CORINTH. 
 
 The Union Commander did not realize at the moment the battle was 
 ended, the great injury that had been inflicted upon the enemy, nor the 
 fact that the rebel forces were so badly shattered that a retreat was im- 
 mediately ordered by them which continued all night. 
 
 Rosecrans who had been waiting for a brigade of fresh troops under 
 General McPherson, which arrived on the morning of the 5th of October, 
 started at once in pursuit and found that the rebels in their haste to escape 
 had thrown away all of their baggage. The roads were strewn with tents. 
 wagons, guns, cartridge boxes, canteens and haversacks. The roughness 
 of the country which was covered with woods and thickets, made movements 
 impractical in the darkness of the night and slow and difficult by day. The 
 Ohio Brigade followed the enemy over the Chewalla Road. 
 
 The retreating forces took the road to Davis' Bridge on the Hatchie 
 River by way of Pocohontas, and being familiar with the country, knowing 
 where to go, and having to look for nothing but attack on its rear, they 
 moved with freedom, so that when General Ord's forces, arriving from 
 Bolivar, attacked them at Davis' Bridge and drove them back, they escaped 
 over narrow roads and moved through the thickets southward. 
 
 Fuller's Ohio Brigade, following the enemy, crossed the Tuscumbia and 
 Hatchie Rivers to beyond Ripley, and then returned to Corinth, arriving on 
 the 15th, having marched in the eleven days, one hundred and twenty miles. 
 The weather grew cold and snow fell and during that time army rations 
 could not be supplied by the commissary department. The principal food 
 obtained, consisted of large yams or sweet potatoes found on the planta- 
 tions. For thirty days, the movements of the brigade had been so constant 
 and rapid, that it was necessary to keep camp and garrison equipage in 
 wagons and the soldiers bivouaced in the open air. Many privations were 
 endured by the soldiers from marching in the rain, mud and cold, from 
 sleeping without blankets or shelter while lying in the roads, and from wait- 
 ing long hours for the slow-moving wagon trains, containing ammunition, 
 to close up to their commands. 
 
 The campaign just ended made West Tennessee and North Mississippi 
 free from hostile troops. Communication with the North which had been 
 interrupted, was very soon opened again. Letters and newspapers were 
 received containing congratulations and thanks to the officers and soldiers of 
 
Pursuit of the Enemy. 115 
 
 this army for their gallant conduct in the battle. There were also con- 
 gratulatory letters from President Lincoln and resolutions from Congress. 
 
 In recognition of his services, General Rosecrans was given command 
 of the Army of the Cumberland. General Stanley commanding the Division 
 of which Fuller's Ohio Brigade was a part, received another star, being 
 promoted to Major-General and assigned to the Cavalry Department, the 
 Fourth Corps, of the Army of the Cumberland. Lieutenant-Colonel Swayne 
 was promoted to Colonel of the Forty-third Ohio for bravery in action. 
 Major Spaulding of the Twenty-seventh Ohio, received promotion to Lieu- 
 tenant-Colonel. Captain Churchill was promoted to Major. Private Orrin 
 B. Gould was promoted to Captain and Sergeant Charles H. Smith to 
 Second Lieutenant in the Twenty-seventh Ohio, by the Governor of Ohio, 
 for meritorious conduct in battle. A large number of promotions were 
 made in the four regiments which will appear in the roster. 
 
 The Confederate speakers and their press now talked of this, their 
 "great disaster," which reacted upon other theaters of the war and cast 
 upon them "long shadows of gloom." 
 
 On October 26th, nine hundred recruits arrived from Ohio and were 
 assigned to the brigade.

 CHARGE OF THE TWENTY-SEVENTH OHIO. 
 OCTOBER 4th, 1862. 
 
 By Second Lieutenant George W. Young. 
 'Twas autumn time so mild, and elsewhere fair and still. 
 But here the thunders burst from each surrounding hill ; 
 The morning air so soft, grew thick with sulphur smoke. 
 Around more wildly rang the warriors' battle cry; 
 Swift hissed the bursting shell and fell the saber stroke. 
 
118 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 As brave, met equal brave, to conquer or to die ; 
 And loudly musket echoed musket's dread refrain, 
 While headless tramped the living o'er the mangled slain. 
 
 Undaunted still they fought, the traitors in their pride, 
 While flashed their hateful flag, in front, on either side ; 
 Regarding not that death beset the bloody way, 
 The horrid cannon belched along the Union line ; 
 With steady steps and slow, true heroes in the fray. 
 The foe comes on, a will, their vantage powers combine, 
 The vict'ry leans to them, but still goes on the fight, 
 As free men weep in grief, while wrong supplants the right. 
 
 "For freedon's cause a charge," is Stanley's fearless cry ; 
 "Ohio's sons your steel,"' our Fuller's stern reply ; 
 And like the lightning's glare, a thunder bolt of death, 
 The twenty-seventh led by Spaulding's gleaming blade ; 
 A thousand noble forms, set teeth and 'bated breath, 
 Rush on the startled foe, and pausing not for aid, 
 Their faultness nothern steel, with southern fire collides, 
 And fell Destruction on the fearful whirlpool rides. 
 
 The traitors fought in vain, such carnage could not last, 
 Their boldest low in death, their leaders are aghast. 
 No mortals could withstand, Ohio's bravest charge, 
 And back, forever back, the frighted living trod. 
 The spirits of the dead, from lifeless clay at large, 
 Their rapid flight began to justice and to God ; 
 And from the Union line, a yell of triumph rolled, 
 A shout for victory won, a sigh for heroes cold. 
 
 POSSIBILITIES OF FURTHER SUCCESS. 
 
 The Confederate Army which held the Mississippi Valley had been 
 routed and demoralized. The Union forces had two railroads leading down 
 through the most productive part of the state, where corn was ripe, supply- 
 ing plenty of forage so that the enemy could have been pursued with safety. 
 The weather was cool and the roads were getting in prime condition. We 
 should have gone to Vicksburg then, but General Halleck ordered otherwise. 
 
CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI CAMPAIGN. 
 
 By November 2nd, 1862, the army had recuperated and General Grant 
 with one hundred regiments of about eighty thousand men started on the 
 Central Mississippi Campaign for the capture of Vicksburg. 
 
 Fuller's Ohio Brigade with three days' rations in haversack and three 
 in wagons, marched out of Corinth on the Chewalla Road, over a hilly 
 country, passed fields white with unpicked cotton, crossed the Hatchie 
 River, and on the 3rd passed through Grand Junction, twenty miles dis- 
 tant. 
 
 On the 5th, at Grand Junction, the Sixty-third Ohio Infantry was joined 
 by a batallion of the One Hundred and Twelfth Ohio, which was assigned 
 to it. A reconnaissance was made on the Holly Springs Road, and the 
 enemy's pickets were driven seven miles. Rations were becoming scarce 
 and the troops had to grind corn at the mills and use the cornmeal for 
 baking bread. Wagon trains loaded with cotton were guarded to the rail- 
 road. 
 
 On November 17th, Fuller's Ohio Brigade marched to La Grange, 
 camping on Jack Davis plantation. The clothes of the soldiers took on the 
 color of the earth upon which they had slept, while the dust stirred up by 
 the large number of teams and thousands of men marching over the roads, 
 made the soldiers very uncomfortable, getting into their rations and filling 
 their eyes and nostrils. Most stringent orders were issued against plunder- 
 ing and very little was done. Fuller's Brigade was assigned to General Mc- 
 Pherson's Division. 
 
 Chaplain John Eaton of the Twenty-seventh Ohio put several hundred 
 negroes at work picking cotton on the cotton plantations in and around La 
 Grange, this section being in the heart of the cotton region. The soldiers 
 were delighted to find a number of large, heavy, baking pans, locally known 
 as "skillets." These they set in beds of hot coals in order to bake their corn- 
 bread or to fry their three-quarters pound of bacon which they drew 
 daily, with their hard bread, coffee and sugar. One would have known 
 that the soldiers liked this food by the way they ate it, in large mouthfuls, 
 relishing it and longing for more. The hard bread polished their teeth to 
 a pearly whiteness. At all seasons of the year, where a stop was made for 
 more than one day, inspection of arms and dress parade by the troops, 
 were ordered, and carried out with thoroughness. 
 
120 I' ' ller's < >hio Bru 
 
 The weather turned cold, damp and wet. In this section few of the 
 citizens could be seen. The bridges destroyed by the enemy in their retreat 
 were rapidly and substantially rebuilt by Bissel's Engineer Regiment. There 
 was a rumor in the army that this section of country was to be the great 
 battle ground, yet the Confederate General seemed desirous of drawing 
 Grant's Army from its base of supplies. From their continued retreat, they 
 were called by our army "The Invisibles." 
 
 A march was made from Camp at Wolf Creek to Cold water Creek 
 reaching there on November 28th. On the 29th a march was made thirteen 
 miles, passing through the streets of Holly Springs, the regimental flags 
 unfurled, bands playing, the men carrying their muskets at "right shoulder 
 shift." The "right shoulder shift" was termed the "gay style." A few of 
 the citizens stood on the corners and many ladies appeared at the doors of 
 houses. A few of them cheered, others seemed spell-bound at the sight of 
 the old flag and the great army. Camp was made at Lampkins Mills. 
 Mississippi. 
 
 tin November 30th, the Brigade moved at daylight and skirmished 
 with the enemy until noon. The men halted close 1>\ the Tallahatchie river, 
 an inconsiderable stream at this point, near the rebel line of heavy earth- 
 works, forts and rifle pits, upon which the enemy had spent ten month- of 
 labor. On the following day, about ten thousand of the Union Cavalry 
 swam over on their horses and pursued the enemy. The soldiers of the 
 Brigade washed their clothes in the river. Over two thousand prisoners 
 were captured at the Tallahatchie River, most foreigners. 
 
 On December 9th, Colonel Sprague received orders from Oxford, 
 Mississippi, to disembark his command at Bolivar. Tennessee, in order to 
 defend the line of communication to Oxford. On December 10th the 
 Brigade marched ten miles south of the Tallahatchie River, camping one 
 mile north of the town of Abbeyville, Mississippi, where wood ami water 
 had to be carried one mile. 
 
 On December 11th they marched fourteen miles and camped south of 
 < bcford, Mississippi, rim mile- south of Grand Junction. Some of the citi- 
 zens of this place, both male and female, seemed displeased to see Union 
 soldiers and -poke slightingl) of them. The country was very beautiful and 
 reminded the soldiers of the expression of southern orator-. "The beautiful 
 hill> and broad savannahs of the sunny South." Many of the citizens took 
 the oath of allegiance to the United States Government. The soldiers en- 
 joyed the beautiful starlight night- by the camp fire-, around which they 
 would gather in knots and rehearse the marches and brave deed- of their 
 army, how they stood together and cheered each other upon many battle 
 fields. Their eyes were bright, their cheeks were sunburned and weather-

 beaten, some looked toil worn, their clothes were ragged, but they were 
 self-reliant. 
 
 About fire per cent of those wounded at Corinth had now returned to 
 duty. At this time Forrest's and Van Dorn's rebel Cavalry raided the 
 country and captured Holly Springs with much valuable army stores. 
 
 On December 18th the Ohio Brigade was reviewed by General Grant. 
 The soldiers' clothes were brushed up, shoes blackened, guns and accoutre- 
 ments polished for the pageant. The General rode down the front and 
 up the rear lines on a cream colored horse. He was dressed in a frock 
 coat, black hat, and a rich silk sash and belt. He was saluted at the head 
 of each regiment by dipping flags, fife and drums, and by "present arms." 
 He raised his hat and when he passed the colors, he saluted them. 
 
 On December 20th Colonel Sprague of the Sixty-third ( )hio reported 
 the capture of thirty United States teams by the enemy. 
 
 SIXTEENTH AKMV CORPS BADGE. 
 
 By an order from the War Department, on December 18, 186_\ the 
 Army of the Tennessee, General Ulysses S. Grant, commanding, had been 
 grouped into four Corps d'armee viz: The Thirteenth, Major-General Mc- 
 Clernand, the Fifteenth, Major-General Sherman, the Sixteenth. Major- 
 General Hurlbut (then at Memphis), and the Seventeenth, Major-General 
 McPherson. The Sixteenth Army Corps consisted of the Sixth, Seventh

 THE DEFEAT OF THE REBEL GENERAL FORREST IN THE GRAND RAID ON 
 GENERAL GRANT'S LINE OF COMMUNICATIONS' HOW IT WAS FRUS- 
 TRATED AND THE ENEMY EXPELLED FROM THE COUNTRY. 
 
 General Braxton Bragg, commanding the Confederate Army of the 
 Tennessee, decided upon two raids with Cavalry, flying Artillery and 
 mounted Infantry, one into Kentucky under General Morgan, the other into 
 Tennesse under Brigadier-General N. B. Forrest. These raids were in- 
 tended as diversions in favor of the Confederate Army in Mississippi, then 
 heavily pressed by General Grant. 
 
 Forrest with his command variously estimated at from five thousand 
 to seven thousand, moved on December 11th, 1862, from Columbia, reaching 
 the Tennessee River at Clifton, on Sunday the 13th, and after much diffi- 
 culty, working night and day, crossed on the 15th. 
 
 General Grant informed his commanders at Corinth, Bolivar, Jackson, 
 and other places that Forrest was approaching, and as it was not known 
 where he would strike, each began to call for re-enforcements. General 
 Sullivan concentrated his forces at Jackson, and ordered Colonel Robert 
 G. Ingersoll toward the Tennessee River, with his own Regiment, two 
 hundred troopers of the Eleventh Illinois Cavalry, and a Battery. He was 
 joined at Lexington, twenty-eight miles east from Jackson by Colonel Haw- 
 kins, commanding the Second West Tennessee Cavalry with two hundred 
 and seventy-two men. 
 
 From Beech Creek, Colonel Ingersoll sent forward Captain Burridge, 
 who found from reports that the enemy was in front. From the 18th, this 
 force gradually fell back to Lexington and Jackson, skirmishing frequently 
 with the enemy who continually outflanked this small force. Here the Union 
 troops were re-enforced by Fuller's Ohio Brigade and other forces. 
 
 THE BATTLE OF PARKER'S CROSS ROADS, DECEMBER 31ST, 1862. 
 
 Colonel John W. Fuller, Twenty-seventh Ohio, commanding First 
 Brigade, Eighth Division, Sixteenth Corps, after nine o'clock in the even- 
 ing of December 18th, when encamped near Oxford. Mississippi, received 
 orders to cook three days rations to be put in haversacks, and march to 
 
Operations in West Tennessee. 123 
 
 the depot at eleven o'clock and proceed at once with the infantry of his 
 command, by rail to Jackson, Tennessee, there to report to Brigadier- 
 General Sullivan. About midnight, the Thirty-ninth Ohio, Colonel Noyes, 
 left Oxford in freight cars and at three o'clock the next morning, the 
 Twenty-seventh Ohio, Lieutenant-Colonel Spaulding, followed with the pur- 
 pose of attacking Forrest's forces and preventing his re-crossing the Ten- 
 nessee River. 
 
 Leaving instructions for Colonel Sprague to follow as soon as cars could 
 be obtained, for transportation of his own regiment, and the Forty-third 
 Ohio, Colonel Fuller started for Jackson on the train conveying the Twenty- 
 seventh. He did not reach Jackson until nearly four o'clock in the after- 
 noon of the 19th. Immediately on his arrival, Colonel Spaulding was 
 ordered by General Sullivan to report to Colonel Lawler to the front, and 
 learned from General Sullivan that Colonel Xoyes had been sent with his 
 regiment in another direction, to report to General Brayman. Colonel Pul- 
 ler afterwards learned that the Sixty-third and Forty-third, upon reaching 
 Bolivar, had been ordered by General Grant to remain there for the defence 
 of that place. The citizens manifested great delight upon seeing Union 
 Troops and the old flag. .Much excitement prevailed from the threatened 
 attack by the enemy. 
 
 The next morning a general order from General Sullivan announced 
 that Colonel Fuller's Command would consist of the Twenty-seventh and 
 the Thirty-ninth Ohio and would form the rear of the column. Colonel 
 Fuller as soon as he could find the regiments marched sixteen miles in the 
 direction of Lexington, overtaking the main column about ten miles east of 
 Jackson. While halting here, cannonading was heard in the direction of 
 Humbolt. After an hour's halt the march was continued until nineteen 
 miles distant from Jackson, where the column bivouacked for the night. 
 The men were very tired but notwithstanding this, they were aroused by 
 the bugle call at ten o'clock at night to go out on picket and vidette duty. 
 The night was cold, cloudy and very dark. Nothing was seen of the enemy. 
 
 The next morning at six o'clock, the army returned over the same road, 
 with Colonel Fuller's command in front, reaching Jackson between one and 
 two in the afternoon. Earthworks had been thrown up almost around 
 the town. On the 27th, Colonel Fuller with his command went by cars to 
 Trenton, where the Sixty-third Ohio rejoined him. He now reported in 
 compliance with General Sullivan's orders to General Heynie. but General 
 Sullivan arrived the same evening, and resumed command. 
 
 During all this time, our forces were expected to move at any moment. 
 The officers wore their side arms, the soldiers remained under arms, and 
 the color guard remained with their colors. On Christmas day. the Brigade 
 
1_;4 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 was on short rations. The surroundings were unpleasant. We rode on 
 platform cars to Trenton, thirty-five miles before daylight. 
 
 About five o'clock in the morning of December 28th, the column 
 marched fifteen miles toward Huntingdon and hivouaced near Shady 
 Grove, where part of the people were staunch Unionists. The farmers 
 brought to camp, corn meal and sweet potatoes. The soldiers managed to 
 cook their unsifted corn meal into cake without saleratus. The next morn- 
 ing marching through McLemoresville, they reached Huntingdon about 
 four o'clock in the afternoon. 
 
 < >n the 31st, Fuller left seven companies on guard duty, which General 
 Sullivan said would start when he was ready to move and the seven com- 
 panies would form a rear guard. Between ten and eleven in the morning 
 while his column was halting near Clarksburg. General Sullivan with Gen- 
 era] I leynie and their respective staffs, and a small escort of cavalry, over- 
 took Colonel Fuller. Ceneral Sullivan ordered him to halt for an hour or 
 an hour and a half, till the rear guard could rejoin him. and then passed on 
 toward Clarksburg. 
 
 Within ten minutes afterwards, an ( )rderly rode back at a gallop, say- 
 ing that the enemy's cavalry had got between Colonel Fuller's command and 
 Generals Sullivan and 1 leynie. and that these officers, with their escort had 
 ridden on through Clarksburg followed by the enemy. 
 
 Colonel Fuller now moved forward, on a double quick, instantly, and 
 upon reaching Clarksburg learned from an officer of the 29th Iowa, (who 
 had been accidentally left on picket duty where Colonel Dunham's column 
 had bivouacked the previous night) the enemy's force consisting of about 
 fifty Cavalry. 
 
 DOUBLE-QUICK! NO TO THE FIGHT. 
 
 The enemy had approached from the west and took the road leading 
 south, passing before this officer had an opportunity to fire on them. Colonel 
 Fuller learned that < ienerals Sullivan and I leynie left the road directly after 
 passing Clarksburg, taking an easterly direction. The enemy upon reaching 
 the same point probably saw Colonel Fuller's advance, as they filed out of 
 the woods to the west. After halting about ten minutes, having learned 
 nothing more, Coloned Fuller continued \n< march. Soon the sound of 
 artillery in his front advised him that Colonel Dunham's Brigade consisting 
 of the • iiif Hundred and Twenty-second, and Thirty-fourth Illinois. Fiftieth 
 Indiana, Seventh Tennessee, Thirty-ninth Iowa and a Battery of six guns. 
 >i engaging the enemy, and he began a march in earnest. The firing was 
 first heard to the right of the point where the road from McLemoresville

 crosses that leading from Huntingdon to Lexington; in half an hour it was 
 directly in his front; in half an hour later it was all to the left of the crow- 
 ing, thereby rendering it certain that the enemy, who approached from Mc- 
 Lemoresville. was rapidly driving Colonel Dunham's Brigade before him. 
 Very soon thereafter, the rattle of musketry was distinct, and thinking the 
 hour a critical one for the small force, who were evidently fighting against 
 odds. Colonel Fuller urged his men to their utmost speed. When within 
 about two miles of Parker's house an Orderly galloped to the head of the 
 column, saying : "Colonel Sullivan, who is coming up with a rear guard, 
 about three miles behind, orders you to halt until he comes up." 
 
 Colonel Fuller sent his assistant Adjutant-General to ride back to the 
 General as fast as possible, to explain the situation, and ask that the order 
 to halt be countermanded. Immediately after he had started, Colonel Ful- 
 ler's Orderly, who had been sent to communicate with Colonel Dunham, re- 
 turned. He was unable to get through, as the enemys position was between 
 Colonel Fuller and that of Colonel Dunham's Brigade. From near Parker's 
 house, where they were in force, the enemy had fired on him. 
 
 Colonel Fuller learning this, felt assured that General Sullivan would, 
 if present and in possession of the facts, countermand his order to halt, 
 and therefore Fuller directed that the men, instead of halting, should move 
 forward as rapidly as possible. 
 
 When the head of Colonel Fuller's column was deployed. General Sulli- 
 van overtook him. The 27th and 63rd were at once formed on the left and 
 the Thirty-ninth on the right of the road, when they advanced upon the 
 rear of the enemy's artillery which was feebly supported and abandoned 
 when the Union forces approached. Our artillery took a position on the 
 left of the road, and directly after opening fire, two pieces followed the 
 infantry until they occupied ground side by side with the rebel guns, while 
 the other piece was moved to the west side of the road, where it was effect- 
 ively used upon the rebels who were e>caping by breaking through the front 
 of our lines. 
 
 The advance of the Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth, and Sixty-third was 
 in splendid style and the enemy was put to rapid flight. Sergeant Smith 
 who was ordered to command a line of skirmishers, reached the hill to the 
 south where the enemy's artillery was posted. Mis men lay down and com- 
 menced firing on the enemy. 
 
 FORREST SURPRISED. 
 
 Some hundreds of the enemy who had dismounted and had been fight- 
 ing as infantry, had left their horses in the orchard and yard near Parker's 
 
126 Fuli er's < > 1 1 1< ) Brig lD] 
 
 house. These four hundred horses and seven pieces of artillery were the 
 first trophies that fell into our hands, and more than three hundred of their 
 riders, thus rendered unable to get away surrendered themselves as prison- 
 ers. A small train of wagons which the enemy had gained possession of 
 was re-captured in the road a short distance south of Parker's house and 
 one at least of the guns belonging to Colonel Dunham's command was re- 
 taken from the enemy on this road. The dead bodies of our artillerists 
 lying close to this gun attested the fidelity and bravery with which the men 
 of the Seventh Wisconsin Battery stood at their posts until their last round 
 of ammunition was exhausted. 
 
 Among the prisoners who surrendered were several officers of promin- 
 ence : Lieutenant-Colonel Cox and Major Strange (Forrest's Adjutant- 
 General), who together with the Captain commanding Forrest's bodyguard, 
 were unhorsed by a volley from the Twenty-seventh Ohio when riding off 
 the field with their General, and Colonel Black, who afterward escaped in 
 citizens clothes, with several others whose names are not given. 
 
 Before referring to the subsequent march of Colonel Fuller's men. it 
 is due to both the officers and men of the command ( who marched seven 
 miles within an hour and a half to reach the field, and who. after this exer- 
 tion rushed forward, swinging into line and took the enemy in flank and rear 
 with such enthusiasm as to produce a panic in the enemy's ranks to claim 
 for them the honor of capturing what was taken from the enemy at Park- 
 er's Cross Roads, and also of recapturing prisoners artillery, baggage wag- 
 ons, and animals which before their arrival on the field had fallen into the 
 hands of the enemy. When it reached the field, the enemy who from the 
 best evidence obtainable, was about double the number of Colonel Dunham's 
 forces, was in front and on both flanks of that brigade. A flag of truce 
 which had not returned to General Forrest, when Fuller's guns opened, had, 
 as Colonel Dunham informed him, demanded an unconditional surrender. 
 Firing had ceased for some fifteen minutes prior to Fuller's arrival, nor did 
 the command <>i Colonel Dunham fire a shot at the enemy as he moved past 
 their flanks to the rear. 
 
 About two hours after the enemy had precipitately fled. General Sulli- 
 van informed Colonel Fuller that he was returning and advancing upon his 
 left and front. By the General's direction, General Fuller formed two regi- 
 ments obliquely across the road, leading east from Parker's house and sent 
 two companies (deployed as skirmishers) about four hundred yards to the 
 front of this line, where he remained till daylight on the following morning. 
 The Ohio Brigade bivouaced upon the battle field. 
 
 January 1st. the Brigade marched through Lexington, bivouacing about 
 one mile east of that place. The next morning. Generals Sullivan and Hey- 
 
Pursuit of the Enemy. 127 
 
 nie with the Brigade of Colonel Dunham, marched toward Jackson, while 
 Fuller's command together with the Brigade which came up from Jackson, 
 under Colonel Lawler, marched in pursuit of the enemy toward the Tennes- 
 see River, Fuller having orders to report to that officer. When five or six 
 miles east of Lexington, several men were met who had escaped from the 
 enemy after reaching the river. From these it was learned definitely that 
 Forrest had (with the exception of the straggling prisoners) crossed the 
 Tennessee River. Taking these men to Colonel Lawler, Colonel Fuller re- 
 spectfully requested that the infantry, worn out and half starved as it was, 
 and without shelter, be spared so long and trying a march, and suggested 
 that the reconnaissance be made by the cavalry. But Colonel Lawler in- 
 fomed him that he had no discretion in the matter. He had no doubt of the 
 correctness of these statements, he said, but the entire force must march. 
 That day he proceded within eight or nine miles of Clifton. The country 
 was hilly and rocky and the roads bad, and added to this, the rain fell almost 
 constantly during the march of fifty-four miles from Lexington to Clifton. 
 
 FORREST ABANDONS THE COUNTRY. 
 
 On January 3rd, 1863, Colonel Fuller's Brigade was ordered to move 
 toward Clifton. He was instructed to use his own judgment as to the move- 
 ment, to ascertain for himself whether the enemy had all crossed the river, 
 and if so, to return. Upon reaching a point where the road to the furnace 
 leaves that leading to Clifton, two regiments with the artillery were ordered 
 to halt. After examining the river near the furnace, which was done by a 
 squad of cavalry, and learning that the last of the enemy had crossed on the 
 night of the 1st, Fuller sent the cavalry in advance on the Clifton Road, 
 and directed Lieutenant-Colonel Spaulding, with the Twenty-seventh Ohio, 
 to follow. Directly afterward, however, Colonel Lawler came up and or- 
 dered the entire command to advance. Upon reaching the river and learning 
 that the road to Clifton ran along the stream for two miles, and fearing that 
 the enemy would use his artillery from the opposite bank, Fuller ordered 
 all but the cavalry and one regiment to halt here. But Colonel Lawler, upon 
 coming up countermanded the order. A small picket guard was found (of 
 perhaps fifteen men) who, after exchanging shots with our cavalrv, rapidly 
 retired, crossed the river in a small flatboat. swimming their horses. As 
 soon as our cavalry appeared opposite the town, the enemy began to shell 
 them from two batteries on the bluffs. No damage was done, however. 
 Soon afterward, the enemy placed some rifled guns on the bank further up 
 the stream, and opened fire on the light field battery which was attached 
 to Colonel Fuller's command. Still no harm resulted. The battery which

 Colonel Fuller thought too light to reply effectively, and the regiments which 
 were marching with it, and which had heen drawn up in line of battle, in the 
 woods near the river bank, skirmishing with the enemy, were rapidly moved 
 back from the river out of range. A wagon loaded with ammunition was 
 twice struck, and so disabled that we were compelled to abandon it. The 
 animals and ammunition were brought away. A flag of truce accompanied 
 by two rebel officers, crossed the river for the purpose as Colonel Wood- 
 ward said, of making arrangements for the exchange of prisoners. They 
 were permitted to pass our outposts, and probably did not gain much infor- 
 mation. 
 
 An irregular fire of musketry was kept up with the enemy, for an hour 
 or two during the afternoon by order of Colonel Lawler. but it was without 
 results. In the afternoon the head of our column was turned toward Cor- 
 inth. The mud was knee deep in the icy roads, the powder in the rifles be- 
 came wet from the rain that poured down all day and the loads had to be 
 drawn and replaced with dry ammunition. The men toiled and panted up 
 the rough sides of these steep hills over unused roads in storm and sleet, day 
 after day. and then after going into camp, worked all night shelling and 
 grinding corn at the mills. In the morning they mixed their meal with water 
 and baked it in the ashes for the next day's rations. 
 
 A MARCH OF GREAT SEVERITY. 
 
 The march of this day was more severe upon the men of Colonel Fuller's 
 command than any which had been made up to this time. The road was in 
 a miserable condition and the rain which fell steadily made it more so. 
 
 < In the 5th of January, this command marched toward Bethel, reaching 
 there on the 7th, and arriving in Corinth on the afternoon of the 9th. Here 
 for the first time for twenty-two days, it found shelter, full rations for the 
 men, and shoes for at least one hundred and fifty, who had marched bare- 
 footed for fifty miles. Since December 18th a total distance of one hundred 
 and eighteen miles had been covered. General Grant had anticipated an 
 attack on Corinth, hence, our march to that place. 
 
 The inclemency of the season during this march was extremely trying 
 to the soldiers who were often forced to make toilsome marches exposed to 
 all kinds of weather and to bivouac at night without tents, blankets or shel- 
 ter. They were deprived of proper food. Many went barefooted and suf- 
 fered from sore feet. There were no ambulances to carry the sick or 
 wounded. All these things made this march one of the most terrible ex- 
 perienced by the Brigade, and perhaps by any troops during the war. 
 
Lieutenant-Colonel Z. S. Spaulding's Report. 129 
 
 The following extracts from the official report of Lieutenant-Colonel 
 Z. S. Spaulding, commanding the Twenty-seventh Ohio, is given to show 
 the suffering of his men: 
 
 "Colonel Lawler ordered me to remain opposite the town until four 
 o'clock in the afternoon, to give the other regiments time to get started back, 
 and then return myself, which I did; but, owing to this delay, by which 
 nothing was accomplished, night came on before we reached our camping 
 ground, and darkness made the march tenfold harder upon the men. Not 
 being able to pick their way, they stumbled over rocks, sunk to the waist in 
 mud-holes, bruised their limbs, and ruined clothing which they could not 
 afford to lose. Arriving at the point where we were to rest for the night. 
 we found our knapsacks had been thrown out of the wagons and plundered 
 by the Illinois troops of the other brigade. Thus many of my men were 
 left without blankets or change of stockings, at a time when the full allow- 
 ance of clothing and tents hardly sufficed to render the soldier comfortable. 
 Foraging upon the country through which we passed had now been for 
 several days our only means of support and continued to be so until our ar- 
 rival at this place (Corinth) on the 9th instant. 
 
 To Second Lieutenant William E. Ellis, of Company A, who acted as 
 quartermaster and through whose efficient services we obtained provisions, 
 sufficient to sustain life, the regiment is greatly indebted. But the system 
 adopted by which the men had to steal or starve, or, in other words, forcing 
 the men to make extravagant marches without a proper and sufficient supply 
 of rations, and allowing, as was done, a promiscuous siezing, without proper 
 vouchers of everything that came within reach, I most heartily condemn. It 
 tended to destroy discipline, to demoralize my command and render a regi- 
 ment of good and brave soldiers a lawless mob. Of the marches thence from 
 Bethel I have little to say. but I am assured that I express the feelings of 
 my entire command when connections were broken. 
 
 Arriving at this place with my regiment in a condition it has never 
 known in the eighteen months' hard service, the telling effect of its campaign 
 becoming more and more apparent, with seventy-nine men unable from lack 
 of shoes or from sickness or debility to make the march from Bethel here, 
 we were received by General Dodge with an interest that showed his appre- 
 ciation of our condition, and a willingness to supply our many wants which 
 will cause us to ever hold him in high regard."

 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 A HEAVY TAX ON THE COMMAND. 
 
 Extracts from Official Report of Colonel Edward F. Noyes of the Thirty- 
 ninth Ohio. 
 
 "< In the 3rd, the three Ohio Regiments made a reconnaissance to the 
 river, it having been reported, however, that the enemy had already crossed 
 his entire force. That day and the following evening, for a large portion 
 of the time, the rain fell in torrents. The road was covered with jagged 
 rocks, whose crevices were filled with mud. The men in stepping from rock 
 to rock frequently slipped and fell, bruising themselves severely. Returning 
 at night in the darkness, the men could not keep their footing, but fell 
 every few rods. Although my regiment had but recently been supplied with 
 new shoes and clothing throughout, at the end of that day's march sixty- 
 six were without any shoes at all, and a large portion of their clothing was 
 in rags. It was the most terrible march I have ever experienced, and a 
 costly one in numbers and health of my command. If the march was a 
 necessary one it was out of all propriety to complain of it ; if it was un- 
 necessary, as I think, I feel it to be due to the men under my command to 
 enter my solemn protest against its repetition in the future under similar 
 circumstances."

 Commanding ::. 16th A. ('.. 1864, Left Winn. 
 
Arrival at Corinth. 131 
 
 "From January 5th to 9th, 1863, inclusive, the Command was march- 
 ing to Corinth, having in two weeks make a forced march of about two 
 hundred miles without transportation, without government rations, and with 
 no supplies, but such as could be seized in a poor country along the way 
 (generally only pork and cornmeal without cooking utensils and without 
 medical supplies), subject to all the demoralizations consequent upon being 
 obliged to provide themselves with food or surfer from hunger. The com- 
 mand reached Corinth ragged, shoeless, dispirited, and worn out." 
 
 On arriving at Corinth, the command was assigned as the Fourth Bri- 
 gade, Second Division, of the Left Wing of the Sixteenth Army Corps, 
 District of Corinth. Although the garrison was on half rations, General 
 Dodge commanding the post, put Fuller's Brigade on full rations. The 
 Surgeon reported officially that the deaths resulting from the hardships of 
 the recent march equaled the losses of a severe skirmish. The men of the 
 Brigade were soon in good spirits and expressed their pride and satisfaction 
 in giving Forrest's forces a thrashing which demoralized them for a long 
 time. 
 
 Corinth had been strongly fortified with earthworks upon which a 
 number of small cannon had been mounted. Within these a camp was made 
 and the soldiers soon gathered up tents and flies to sleep in. The tents 
 were old and worn, soiled and patched, but with the help of blankets and 
 overcoats stretched over poles, a slight protection was furnished. Here and 
 there the damaged ends of stovepipes were sticking out through the tents, 
 so that when one looked down the company streets, he was reminded of a 
 shanty settlement along the railroad. But these tents did not keep the sol- 
 diers dry in rainy weather. Police squads were formed and camp was 
 thoroughly cleaned each day. Drills, reviews, parades, and inspections of 
 troops were held, while companies and regiments were sent out on picket 
 and guard duty. 
 
 On January 20th, 1863, a march was made with a train of wagons for 
 lumber and supplies to Hamburg Landing on the Tennessee River, a dis- 
 tance of eighteen miles, returning to Corinth on January 23rd, through 
 Monterey, Tennessee, under command of Captain Gilmore of the Sixty- 
 third Ohio, passing miles of old earthworks built by both armies, one year 
 before. 
 
 On February 10th, a march of seventeen miles was made to Jacinto, 
 Mississippi, for lumber. The men were accompanied by part of the First 
 Alabama (Union) Cavalry who were raised principally in Marion County. 
 Alabama, and who were scouts for the army. 
 
 On March 14th, they marched with one hundred and sixty teams for 
 lumber, forage and rations and returned the following day, having marched 
 a distance of thirty-six miles. Frequent trips were made at other times for 
 supplies. A good deal of sickness prevailed in the regiments : the Forty- 
 third and Sixty-third Ohio suffered severely and many soldiers died. 
 
132 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 On March 18th, the Brigade moved into log houses which the soldiers 
 had built and made comfortable. Each cabin had one chimney and one 
 window, the doors had hard leather hinges, and the wooden latches were 
 moved by leather strings. During March, the weather was cold and stormy. 
 
 On April 5th, General Dodge reviewed the Ohio Brigade, their barracks 
 and camp, and on the 7th, a grand review of all the troops in Corinth, In- 
 fantry, Cavalry, and Artillery, took place. Arms were burnished bright, 
 clothing brushed up, and all the troops passed headquarters on the south 
 side of the square. 
 
 THE RAID THROUGH THE CHEROKEE AND CHOCTAW VALLEYS. 
 
 On April 11th, cartridges were dealt out to the troops and preparations 
 were made for a threatened attack by the enemy under General Roady, who 
 had already fired upon the outposts of Glendale. On the 13th the Brigade 
 moved out, and on the 20th, marched with three days' rations and supplies 
 in wagons, for a raid into Alabama through the Qierokee and Choctaw 
 Valleys, and to aid Colonel Streight in his raid to Rome, Georgia. From 
 Corinth, Colonel Fuller reported that squads of Braggs men (rebels) were 
 in front. 
 
 The First Alabama scouts, Seventh Kansas, Tenth Missouri Cavalry, 
 and Ninth Illinois Mounted Infantry were part of the expedition. Fuller's 
 Ohio Brigade camped at Burnsville, fourteen miles distant, the infantry as- 
 sisting the artillery on the march by lifting the wheels out when they were 
 stuck in the mud. On April 21st, they marched sixteen miles and bivouaced 
 at Big Bear Creek, Alabama, crossing the stream on Pontoon bridges. On 
 April 23rd, they marched eighteen miles to Caine Creek, the enemy falling 
 back thirteen miles. All along this valley near the Tennessee River the 
 country was beautiful and well cultivated. 
 
 April 24th, a march of eight miles was made to Tuscumbia, camping 
 mi tin- hill on the west side of the town, near the magnificent springs, where 
 the pure water boiled up from under the mass of rocks. Tuscumbia was a 
 fine old village with lovely surroundings, containing some palatial residences. 
 Even the negro quarters looked well-kept and clean, with their fresh coats 
 of whitewash. The railroad across the Tennessee River had been destroyed 
 by the Union General Mitchell, the year previous. 
 
 On April 27th, the command marched ten miles to the town of Leighton 
 near La Grange and the Alabama State Military College. They reached 
 Town Creek on the following day and moved in line of battle against the 
 enemy. The rebels, dressed in butternut clothing, were formed in line for 
 action three times, then broke and retreated. Fuller's Ohio Brigade de-

 ployed from right to left out of the woods into line in an open field, through 
 tall grass, and then steadily advanced proceeded by a long skirmish line. 
 On the 29th. the raid having been successfully accomplished, General 
 Dodge's forces faced toward Corinth and arrived there on May 2nd. having 
 marched one hundred and fifty-two miles. 
 
 Many prisoners were captured and brought back, among them General 
 Roady's Adjutant-General. Nine hundred bales of cotton, a large drove of 
 cattle, horses and mules were also captured. Hundreds of black slaves from 
 the plantations followed the columns and were fed army rations. 
 
 DUTY AT CORINTH. 
 
 brum Max 4th to 10th, part of the Brigade was on duty at Farmington, 
 their battle ground during May of the previous year, guarding stock corrals, 
 containing three thousand horses and mules. Then they marched into Cor- 
 inth and took freight cars for Memphis. The soldiers expressed themselves 
 thankful to the government for the privilege of riding, even if the accommo- 
 dations were not luxurious. Arriving at Memphis, the command camped 
 on Poplar Street and was assigned to the Sixteenth Corps, General Oglesby 
 commanding. (Forty-third Ohio was detached at Bethel). 
 
 The city was under martial law and was strongly fortified, near the 
 river. Many of the citizens were Union people, but a large number were 
 bitter secessionists, and some of the women applied insulting epithets to the 
 soldiers. Suttlers and citizens were in the town for trade, and stores, ex- 
 press offices, and business places were open, and carrying on a large business. 
 Buying and celling cotton was carried on to a great extent. The soldiers, 
 tor many months, had been away from large cities, and the temptation to 
 partake of the hospitality of the citizens was irresistible. A number who 
 were incorrigible on account of drunkenness were lodged in the Irving Block 
 Guard House and a few with ball and chain, were set to work on the forti- 
 fications of Fort Pickering, near the Mississippi River, but the larger num- 
 ber under the rigid discipline of the army, soon got down to the usual mili- 
 tary regulations and the novelty of the changed surroundings wore off. 
 
 In the city of Memphis, in Court Square, there was a monument erected 
 to General Andrew Jackson, who was for eight years President of the United 
 States. It consisted of a small white marble shaft, elevated above the 
 ground about eight feet and resting on a block of sandstone. Cut in letters 
 on the side were his immortal and pa f riotic words, "The Federal Union 
 must and shall be preserved." The whole inscription had been mutilated 
 by the Secessionists. 
 
 On May 29th. over five thousand prisoners arrived from Vicksburg on 
 steamboats and were sent up the river to Indianapolis, Indian-', and Fort 
 
134 Fuller's ( >iuo Brigade. 
 
 Delaware, under guard of a detail of four hundred men from the 
 Ohio Brigade. At Memphis, a great deal of camp and picket duty was 
 performed by the regiments, the camp guards were doubled and several at- 
 tacks were repulsed, at Nonconnah Creek, out on the Hernando and Pigeon 
 Roost Roads, and again at McGee Station, on the Memphis and Charleston 
 Railroad. Several flags of truce were received at the outposts and strict 
 orders were given in regard to allowing them to approach our lines. 
 
 June 4th, the rebel General Chalmers' spies reported that Fuller's Ohio 
 Brigade was at Memphis, and gave a consolidated report of all forces there. 
 
 June 6th, the anniversary of the occupation of Memphis by Federal 
 troops was celebrated by military and civic parades. Eloquent and patriotic 
 speeches were made by noted speakers. The United States flag was dis- 
 played all over the city and the citizens turned out en masse. July 4th was 
 passed by the Brigade on picket. 
 
 July 6th, the news was received by General Hurlburt, commanding at 
 Memphis, and read before each regiment at dress parade, that Yicksburg 
 and the rebel army numbering twenty-eight thousand men, under General 
 Pemberton had been surrendered to General Grant on July 4th. This great 
 victory caused much excitement and rejoicing among the soldiers. They 
 swung their hats high in the air and yelled with delight. The citizens ran 
 out from their houses to ask the cause of the cheering. The Mississippi 
 River was now unobstructed by hostile forces, to the Gulf of Mexico. 
 
 On July 16th and 17th the other army corps were arriving by transports 
 at Memphis from Yicksburg and passing out on the Corinth Road, building 
 railroads. Most of the men were yellow and emaciated from long service 
 in the river swamps. The Twenty-sixth Illinois when passing, cheered 
 loudly for the Ohio Brigade, in honor of the former victory at New Madrid, 
 at which time they were a part of E. S. Payne's Fourth Division. Thou- 
 sands of the citizens of Memphis took the oath of allegiance and those who 
 heretofore had been afraid to show themselves as Unionists, were now 
 i mtspoken for the old flag. 
 
 On September 3rd, 1863, Fuller's Ohio Brigade became the Third Bri- 
 gade and was assigned to the Fifth Division, Sixteenth Army Corps. 
 
 October 15th, 1863, a rebel scout reported to General W. H. Jackson 
 at Lexington, Mississippi: "Every organization in Memphis and at different 
 points, including the Twenty-seventh. Thirty-ninth, Forty-third and Sixty-; 
 third Ohio Regiments, are under marching orders." 
 
 Part of the time that the Brigade occupied the city of Memphis, Colonel 
 Swayne of the Forty-third Ohio held the position of Provost Marshall. The 
 command of that regiment then devolved upon Lieutenant-Colonel Herrick. 
 
CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 THE -MARCH TO PROSPECT, TENNESSEE. 
 
 For over a week the Ohio Brigade had been under orders to move and 
 on October 18th they marched out of Memphis on the Germantown and 
 Pocohontas Roads, with General Sherman's Army of the Tennessee. They 
 were now enroute on a four hundred mile march to Chattanooga to the 
 relief of the Army of the Cumberland. Arriving at Corinth on the 24th, 
 the men of the Brigade pitched their little shelter tents for a night's rest. 
 The next stops were at Clear Creek, Iuka Springs, Jacinto, and East Port 
 on the west bank of the Tennessee River. 
 
 From Iuka, they were the advance brigade, and moved from eighteen 
 to twenty-five miles a day. They encamped at night from six to ten miles 
 in advance of the main column. All this march was over familiar ground, 
 awakening memories of former battlefields, camps and former eventful days. 
 
 The river at this point has a rapid current and winds in graceful curves 
 around the hills, and the water so clear and deep, gladdened the soldiers 
 who were fatigued by the march. The great water-way furnished them 
 with abundance of water to drink, to put in their canteens, to bathe in, and 
 to wash their clothes in. The country about there was mountainous, very 
 rough and thickly wooded. At night the camp fires of twenty thousand men. 
 on the hills and in the valleys, illuminated the sky for miles around and 
 made a most beautiful sight. Union scouts reported at this time that all of 
 Wheeler's, Lee's and Forrest's cavalry were then between Tuscumbia and 
 Decatur. 
 
 On November 4th the transports "Anglo Saxon" and "Nashville" and 
 the ferry boat "Blue Bird" ferried the troops across to the east bank of the 
 river with the gunboat "Lexington" and two others assisting. Encamped 
 here along the Tennessee River, a week of rain was experienced, and during 
 these dreary days the soldiers were most uncomfortable, especially those on 
 picket duty, who stood out in front, silent and alone. 
 
 The country was so wild and sparsely settled that very little foraging 
 could be done. Yet the soldiers that went out for wild turkey and deer, 
 usually brought back mutton. On November 6th, when the men of the four 
 regiments were at work washing their clothing in the river, they were in- 
 terrupted and ordered to march. On the 8th they arrived at Otterdale 
 Factory, where a large number of Union people lived. The place was a 
 collection of log houses situated between high hills. 
 
136 Ft 'ii r's i Brigade 
 
 On November 10th, a march of twenty miles was made with a camp 
 at Chicken Creek, where the barns were found filled with wheat, and the 
 fields with ripened corn, and where all the plantations contained plent) oi 
 stock. 
 
 On November 11th, the Brigade passed through the town of Pula>ki. 
 Tennessee, and camped at Bradshaw Creek. 
 
 On November 12th, they camped on the plantation belonging to the 
 Honorable Thomas J. Brown, son-in-law of General Gideon Pillow of the 
 Confederate Army. Many slaves followed Sherman's Army and were fed 
 on army rations. 
 
 Pulaski, Tennessee, November 11th, 1863. 
 Colonel J. IV. Fuller, Commanding Brigade: 
 
 You will move with your brigade to Prospect on the Nashville and 
 Decatur Roads, fifteen miles from this place and go into camp and guard 
 the railroad from Elk River to Athens, Alabama, and set heavy details at 
 work repairing that portion which was burned and destroyed, especially Elk 
 River bridge. Your division will be unloaded and sent here to go to Colum- 
 bia for supplies. In the mean time you will sieze any mills and set them 
 running. All destruction of property is prohibited. 
 
 G. M. Dodge, Brigadier-General, 
 Commanding the Left Wing. Sixteenth Army Corps. 
 
 ( )n November 13th, the Brigade camped near the town of Prospect. 
 Tennessee, which was on a hill at whose foot ran a stream of pure spring 
 water. Earthworks were thrown up and the trestle work over the Elk- 
 River, which had been destroyed by the enemy, was rebuilt. 
 
 This march from Memphis which occupied twenty-six days, with the 
 exception of a week of rain, was one of the most pleasant made by the 
 Brigade, for the reason that during most of the time, the weather was cool 
 with many day- of sunshine and a crisp atmosphere. The numerous moun- 
 tain streams along the way supplied the soldiers with abundance of good 
 water. At night communication was kept up between the marching columns 
 by tire rockets. 
 
CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 RE-ENLISTMEXTS OF THE REGIMENTS — TRIP TO OHIO AND RETURN. 
 
 At Prospect, Tennessee, during the last days of December, 1863, the 
 Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth, Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio Regiments 
 of Fuller"s Ohio Brigade, almost unanimously re-enlisted into the United 
 States service as Veteran Volunteers, for three years longer or until the 
 close of the war. They were all well-trained and seasoned soldiers. Those 
 who re-enlisted were given a veteran furlough of thirty days. The detach- 
 ment which did not re-enlist remained in camp under command of Captain 
 Feeney ; Twenty-seventh Ohio, Lieutenant Edward Gibson ; Thirty-ninth, 
 Captain John V. Drake ; Forty-third. Captain Joel A. Dewey ; Sixty-third, 
 Lieutenant Jacob S. Antrim. 
 
 The official records of the War of the Rebellion show that the largest 
 number of men in Ohio regiments, who re-enlisted for three years longer, 
 or during the war and became veterans in the winter of 1863-4, were in 
 Fuller's Ohio Brigade, viz: Thirty-ninth Ohio, 534; Sixty-third Ohio, 455; 
 Twenty-seventh Ohio, 437; Forty-third Ohio, 436. 
 
 On December 31st, leaving their camp and garrison equipage in charge 
 of the men who did not re-enlist, the veterans started for Ohio. After a 
 march of eighteen miles, they camped out at Pulaski, Tennessee, sleeping 
 at night in negro shanties and barns. The weather was very cold. 
 
 On January 1st, 1864, march was made twenty-one miles on the Nash- 
 ville and Elkhorn Pike Road, and a camp made at the "Church of the Se- 
 ceeders" denomination. On the 2nd, the command marched fifteen miles 
 and made a camp on a hill near Columbia. On the 3rd, they were conveyed 
 thirty miles on cars to Nashville and at dark went on board the steamer 
 "Nightingale" on the Cumberland River. The Forty-third and the Sixtv- 
 third < )hio took box cars to Louisville. The boat steamed down the river on 
 the morning of the 4th, made a landing at Clarksville and '"tied up" at Fort 
 Donaldson. On the 5th, they arrived at Smithland, Kentucky, and at Cairo, 
 the men having been badly crowded on the boats. After arriving at Cincin- 
 nati, on the 9th, by the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, supper was served 
 at the 5th Street bazar by the ladies of the Sanitary Commission, and dinner 
 the next day by the ladies of the Methodist Church, at the 6th Street market 
 house. After this the men scattered to their homes in different parts of the 
 country. 
 
138 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 On February 17th at the expiration of furlough, the men of the 
 Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth had rendezvoused at Camp Dennison, the 
 Forty-third and the Sixty-third at Columbus, < >hio, where each squad that 
 arrived was greeted with hearty cheers and hand-shakings. At all hours 
 of the night the boys got out of their bunks to receive their comrades re- 
 turning to duty. They were taken on cars to Cincinnati and on the Steamer 
 "Bostonia" down the Ohio River to Louisville, then on cars again to Nash- 
 ville where they arrived on the 19th and remained in barracks for five days. 
 While in Nashville many of the soldiers took this opportunity to visit the 
 tomb of the tenth president of the United States. James Knox Polk, located 
 in the front yard of his former residence. The Capitol buildings were of 
 interest. 
 
 On the 24th, the men left Nashville by train, but the engine broke 
 down about thirty miles out, and march was made to Prospect, Tennessee, 
 over a pike road which was smooth and level, yet so hard that it lamed the 
 marching soldiers. Upon arrival there on the 26th, the Ohio Brigade was 
 assigned to the Fourth Division of the Sixteenth Army Corps. A flood 
 had washed away the railroad bridge and a force of men had to be put to 
 work to re-build it and to make pontoons for bridging the rivers. The sol- 
 diers also operated both saw and grist mills. Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 was ordered to the junction below Athens, Alabama, near where the com- 
 mon road bridge crosses the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, in a com- 
 manding position. They put up an earthwork, repaired the dirt road that 
 led through the swamp, examined the sloughs, to see if they were navigable 
 into Limestone Creek, and kept sharp watch of the rebels over the Tennessee 
 River, taking all the rations with them that they could. General Dodge 
 reported that cars would be running the next day to the river. 
 
CHAPTER XX. 
 
 THE CAPTURE OF DECATUR, ALABAMA. 
 
 On March 6th, after being relieved by the Seventh Iowa Infantry, the 
 Brigade commenced the march for the capture of Decatur, Alabama. Many 
 of the teams were mired in the roads along the bottom-lands of the Tennes- 
 see River, wagon tongues broke, and were replaced by the teamsters with 
 new ones cut from trees. No amount of cursing and lashing the poor mules 
 could make them budge the wagons one inch, the soldiers had to dig the 
 wheels out with shovels and pry and lift all day. When night closed, the 
 tired men went into camp by the side of the road in the woods. 
 
 On the 7th, the men marched through the village of Athens, then on, 
 for sixteen miles to Decatur Junction, Alabama. Orders were received to 
 be ready to march at three o'clock in the morning, to build no fires, and to 
 make no noise. On the morning of the 8th the Brigade moved steadily on 
 in silence to the Tennessee River. The early hours of day was foggy and 
 dark and the road ran through a swamp for a distance of three miles. Pon- 
 toon boats had been brought by train from Nashville, and were ready for 
 use at the bank of the river. Other boats had been built by the Sixty-third 
 Ohio during the week previous. 
 
 In breathless anxiety the men passed over the river in these pontoon 
 boats. Nothing could be heard while crossing but the dipping of the oars 
 which the men pulled with all their strength. The fog was so dense that 
 no objects could be distinguished. When they landed on the south bank of 
 the river, they moved in battle line upon the town, which they captured to- 
 gether with a few prisoners. The loss on both sides was very small. The 
 men camped above the railroad bridge, carrying their tents and equipage on 
 their backs a distance of one mile from the river. The horses, wagons and 
 artillery were brought over in boats. 
 
 The Ohio Brigade crossing this river would appear something like the 
 picture of Washington crossing the Delaware in 1776. Details of men were 
 put immediately' to work building forts and earthworks, toiling night and 
 day. They made gabbions and faciens of saplings, filled them with sand and 
 piled the earth around them. Many rumors and reports of attacks were 
 received and on the 23rd the men had a scare when General Roady's Cavalry 
 made an attack and General Polk's Confederate Division threatened the 
 place. General Dodge ordered that the enemy must be whipped with the 
 force we had.

 CHANGES IN FULLERS OHIO BRIGADE — NEW ASSIGNMENTS OF REGIMENTS. 
 
 On April 1st General Sherman, General Smith. General McPherson, 
 and General Dodge visited and inspected the fortifications and troops at 
 Decatur. Colonel Fuller was promoted to Brigadier-General. The regi- 
 ments of Fuller's Ohio Brigade were re-assigned, and the Twenty-seventh. 
 Lieutenant-Colonel Mendall Churchill ; the Thirty-ninth, Colonel E. F. 
 Noyes ; the Sixty-fourth Illinois, Colonel I. Morrell, and 18th Missouri, 
 Captain H. F. Partenheimer, constituted the First Brigade, commanded by 
 General John W. Fuller. The Forty-third, Colonel Wager Swayne; and the 
 Sixty-third Ohio, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles E. Brown; the Twenty-fifth 
 Wisconsin, M. Montgomery; and the Thirty-fifth New Jersey, Colonel J. J. 
 Cladeck, formed the Second Brigade, commanded by Colonel John \Y. 
 Sprague. The above eight regiments were assigned to the Fourth Division, 
 commanded by Brigadier-General lame-- C. Watch. The left wing of the 
 Sixteenth Army Corps was commanded by Major-General G. M. Dodge. 
 Thus the Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth, Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio 
 Regiments remained in close proximity, friendship and cooperation in 
 march and in battle until the close of the war.

CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 THE MARCH TO CHATTANOOGA. GENERAL GRANTS PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. 
 
 On Sunday. May 1st, 1864, the Fourth Division under command of 
 General Veatch was assembled at six o'clock in the morning, and the march 
 from Decatur. Alabama, to Chattanooga, Tennessee, began. Each regiment 
 in readiness for battle at this time averaged in numbers, in ranks, about 
 600 men. Each man carried forty rounds of ammunition and twenty 
 rounds per man were carried in wagons. Each man carried three days' 
 rations in his haversack and one day's rations per man was carried in 
 wagons. One wagon for personal baggage and two ambulances for the 
 sick were assigned for the use of the eight regiments. Euller's Brigade 
 marched in advance on the first daw The sky was cloudy and the roads 
 muddy, yet the Division covered a distance of seventeen miles, and in the 
 afternoon encamped in the woods, near a stream of good water. May 
 2nd after a march of eleven miles, camp was made on the east side of the 
 town of Huntsville, Alabama. The location was in a fertile valley, amid 
 beautiful mountain scenery. 
 
 < )n May 3rd a march of eighteen miles was made. On the 4th a march 
 of six miles was made to Wood Station where the Division boarded freight 
 cars. At the same time a large number of trains loaded with soldiers from 
 the North, East and West, were passing, all going toward Chattanooga. 
 The Division finally arrived in Chattanooga, through Lookout Valley on 
 the 4th, and bivouacked one-half mile from Lookout Mountain and near 
 the Tennessee River. The troops lay on the ground at night, main- without 
 blankets. On May 5th in the valley and about the Cliffs of Lookout Moun- 
 tain were gathered 100,000 men, all under command of General W. T. 
 Sherman. All the future was wrapped in doubt and uncertainty. Two 
 Armies and two Corps (the Army of the Tennessee, and the Army of the 
 Ohio and the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps) had come together from distant 
 fields and joined the Army of the Cumberland, each with separate histories, 
 yet bound by one common cause: — The union of our country and the per- 
 petuation of the government of our inheritance. 
 
 In the spring of 1864, General Grant who had just been appointed Com- 
 mander-in-Chief, inaugurated a plan of campaign for all the armies in the 
 field to act on a common plan, converging at a common center. Grant im- 
 pressed upon his army commanders that active and continued operations 
 of all troops that could be brought into the field regardless of season or 
 weather were necessan for a steady termination of the war. that the

 superior strength and recourses of the north were more than neutralized bv 
 the great advantage of the Confederates in their interior lines through a 
 friendly country which required little or no force to guard. While the 
 Union forces were operating in a hostile country, their lines of supplies had 
 to be guarded by a force larger than that operating in the field. Hereto- 
 fore the various armies in the field, the Potomac, the Cumberland, and the 
 Tennessee had acted independently, a condition which had enabled the 
 enemy to re-enforce each point of attack by drawing troops from all points 
 of inactivity. Therefore he planned to move all the armies at once. (A plan 
 similar to that outlined by General Scott at the beginning of hostilities ) . 
 
 Sherman's Army now covered a front of territory from Vicksburg to 
 Chattanooga and Knoxville. beside guarding railroad transportation in the 
 rear. Sherman announced to his troops that Georgia contained a million 
 inhabitants and that if they could live, the soldiers should not starve, that 
 beef and salt were all that were absolutely necessary for life, and that 
 parched corn once fed General Jackson's Army on that very ground. 
 
CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1111 CAMPAIGN THROUGH NORTHERN GEORGIA FOR THE POSSESSION OF 
 
 \ I I \\ TA. 
 
 From Chattanooga on April 1st, 1864, General Sherman wrote- General 
 Grant as follows: "We arc now to act on a common center and it looks 
 like enlightened warfare. From me you shall have thorough and hearty 
 co-operation. I will not let side issues draw me off from your main plans, 
 in which I am to knock' Joe Johnston and do a- much damage to the re- 
 courses of the enemy as possible. I am pushing stores to the front and 
 completing the army organization on the line of the Tennessee. 
 
 Each of the armies will guard by detachments of its own, its rear 
 communication. Schofield of the Army of Ohio, leaving a select garrison 
 at Knoxville, with twelve thousand men. will drop down to the Hiawassee 
 and march against Johnston's Confederate right, by the old Federal Road. 
 Stoneman, now in Kentucky organizing cavalry forces, will operate with 
 Schofield on his left. Thomas (Army of the Cumberland) will have forty- 
 five thousand men of all arms, and move straight against Johnston, fighting 
 him continuously. McPherson will have nine divisions of the Army of 
 the Tennessee, nearly thirty thousand of the best men in America. If 
 Johnston falls behind the Coosa, then .McPherson will push for Rome, 
 Georgia, and if Johnston falls behind the Chattahoochee River, then Mc- 
 Pherson will cross over and join Thomas. I will feign to the right but will 
 ]i.'[s- to the left and act against Atlanta, or its eastern communications, ac- 
 cording to developed facts. McPherson has no cavalry, but .1 have taken 
 Gerrard's Division, six thousand strong to operate on McPherson's right 
 rear. If the enemy interrupts our communications. 1 will he absolved from 
 all obligations to subsist on our own recourses, and will feel perfectly jus- 
 tified in taking whatever we can find. 
 
 McPherson is to carrv in wagons, twenty days' rations, and to rely on 
 the depot at Ringold for the renewal of his bread. Peeves are to be driven 
 on hoof to the front. The commissary department is alive to the im- 
 portance of the matter of supplies. It is estimated that one hundred and 
 forty-five cars per da) will give a day's supply and a day's accumulation. 
 The distance from Louisville to Nashville, is one hundred and eighty-five 
 miles; from Nashville to Chattanooga, one hundred and fifty-one: from 
 Chattanooga to Atlanta, one hundred and seventy-three miles, all single 
 track road. The army is to be converted into a mobile machine, willing and 
 able to start at a moment's notice, and to subsisl on the seamiest food. 
 
Campaign for Atlanta. 145 
 
 To reap absolute success might involve the necessity of dropping all 
 wagons and to subsist on the chance food which the country was known to 
 contain." 
 
 On Thursday, May 5th, 1864, the Fourth Division, left wing Sixteenth 
 Army Corps, marched forward through Russellville, camping at night on 
 the rockv battle field of Chicamauga, on the very ground where General 
 Thomas with the left wing of the Army of the Cumberland, held the enemy 
 in check, during that battle. Evidences of war's destruction were to be 
 seen on every hand ; graves of soldiers, trees broken down by cannon balls, 
 or cut into shreds by musketry fire. 
 
 On the 6th the Division advanced and camped on the south side of 
 Chickamauga Creek, near Lee & Gordon's Mills . In order to secure 
 Ship's Gap that night. General McPherson sent on most of the troops of 
 Fuller's and Sprague's Brigades — a force of two thousand men, with a de- 
 tachment of the Forty-third Ohio under Captain D. H. Williams in ad- 
 vance. By the same order, General Dodge's entire command moved via 
 Villinow, to Ship's Gap on the next day. 
 
 On the 7th, the Division moved forward and camp was made near Nick- 
 a-jack Mountain Gap. General Dodge reported to General McPherson that 
 Colonel Sprague's Brigade was in possession of the Gap and the crossroads 
 leading to La Fayette. On the same day the left of Sherman's Army moved 
 in force against Tunnel Hill. The gorge through which the railroad passed, 
 was called Buzzard Roost, and the range of mountains which presented 
 sharp palisade faces, was known as Rocky Face. Mill Creek which formed 
 the gorge had been damned up, making an irregular lake, which filled the 
 road and obstructed it. The enemy's batteries crowned the cliffs on either 
 side, making the position very strong. The Confederates had been there 
 six months fortifying it to the maximum. 
 
 On the 8th, the Fourth Division moved forward and camped ten miles 
 north of Resaca, Georgia. On the 9th, the head of the column entered 
 Snake Creek Gap. At every rumor of attack, the men formed lines of bat- 
 tle on the rough hill sides. This forming and reforming occurred many 
 times while passing through the defile, until the column arrived at a point 
 within one mile of Resaca, at the further debouch of the Gap. The Fourth 
 Division nearly succeeded in reaching the bridge over the Oostanaula River. 
 A Confederate Cavalry Brigade, which came up, hastily retreated north 
 toward Dalton, and doubtless carried to the rebel commander the first inti- 
 mation that a heavy force of Infantry and Artillery was in his rear and 
 within a short distance of his railroad. Our army was jubilant. The 
 Army of the Tennessee had startled the rebel army in its fancied security. 
 At five o'clock, the Fourth Division gained a position on a range of hills 
 
146 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 overlooking the town, and began skirmishing with the enemy. From this 
 position the field artillery could reach the railroad bridge across the 
 Oostanaula River. The enemy replied with artillery and attempted to drive 
 away the attacking forces, repeating his sallies several times and extending 
 them late into the night. But in every instance, he was repulsed with 
 heavy loss. 
 
 BATTLE OF RESACA. 
 
 The order to capture the town and works by assault was counter- 
 manded, and after a hards days' work climbing hills and manoeuvering over 
 rough country, the force fell back and fortified, assuming an unassailable 
 defensive position in Sugar Valley on the Resaca side of Snake Creek Gap. 
 Resaca should have been taken in this movement, as it was afterward 
 learned that only one brigade of the enemy's force beside the artillery, 
 held it. Its capture would have placed Sherman's army across the railroad, 
 the only line of the enemy's retreat, and Johnston's army would have been 
 demoralized and perhaps captured, with his trains and artillery. 
 
 Sherman reported: "McPherson has twenty-three thousand of the best 
 men in the army. Such an opportunity does not occur twice in a lifetime." 
 
 In the meantime, Hooker with the Twentieth Corps was moved down 
 within supporting distance of the Army of the Tennessee. The roads were 
 rough wagon ways, and these converged to a single narrow track through 
 Snake Creek Gap. ' Howard's Fourth Corps and Stoneman's Cavalry were 
 left in observation in front of Buzzard Roost Gap. All the rest of the 
 army marched through Snake Creek Gap. straight on Resaca. Johnston, 
 with the rest of his army, abandoned his well-prepared defences at Dalton, 
 and took up a position at Resaca, behind a complete line of defences, fight- 
 ing well at all points of the conflict. We closed in. enveloping the town on 
 its north and west. Our forces were pressed at all points, and the sound of 
 musketry and cannon rose all day to the dignity of a battle. 
 
 On Mav 10th, a very heavy Storm came on and the roads were deep 
 with mud. On the 13th the fourth Division moved at six o'clock in the 
 morning against Resaca. arriving in front of the enemy at noon. ( om- 
 panies A. C, anil 11 of the Sixty-third Ohio, under command of Cap- 
 tain Oscar L. Jackson, being on the skirmish line, were among the first 
 troops, on the morning of the 14th. to reach the river near the village. 
 At two o'clock in the afternoon, a grand charge took place along the 
 whole line, a magnificent movement, in which the Fourth Division was 
 a part. The advance of the National Column was irresistible and 
 
148 
 
 Fuller's Ohio Brigadi 
 
 swept everything before it. \.fter a desperate struggle within easy range, 
 tin- enemy was sent flying across the Oostanaula River. Johnston got his 
 army across the bridges, then set them on fire. We entered Resaca at 
 daylight. The Sixty-third and Forty-third < >hio were in the advance line and 
 supported the Fifteenth Corps in assaulting a position which commanded a 
 bridge across the Oostanaula River. These two regiments went forward in 
 gallant style, and not only held the ground from which their comrades were 
 about being driven, but pushed the lines still further to the front and held 
 the ground until the night of .May 15th, against repeated attempts to dis- 
 lodge them. Company A, Lieutenant O. M. Davis and Company H. Cap- 
 tain A. L. Howe, were the first to enter the enemy's works.

 Had Johnston remained another hour at Resaca. it would have caused 
 his total defeat. We were compelled to grope our way through forests, 
 across mountains, with a large army, necessarily more or less dispersed. 
 Johnston's army had all the advantages of natural position, of fortified forts 
 and roads, and of concentrated action. The result of the rapid successes, 
 gave us the initiative and the usual aggressiveness of a conquering army. 
 The railroad bridge at Resaca was repaired and a floating bridge made out 
 of lo^s and material found on the spot. Nearly all the people fled with the 
 rebel army. The southern newspapers denounced General Johnston for 
 falling back before our army, lie replied that he had retreated as far as 
 strategy required. In the meantime the whole of Polk's Corps, coming from 
 Mississippi had joined the enemy in our front, and Johnston had, in his 
 command, full three corps, namely, Hood's, I 'oik's and Hardee's, num- 
 bering about sj\t\ thousand men.

 ADVANCE ON DALLAS, GEORGIA. 
 
 On May 23rd, the Army of the Tennessee commenced the movement 
 designed to compel John-ton's Army to give up Allatoona. It was thoughl 
 best to leave the railroad and to depend for twenty days for food and am- 
 munition on the contents of the wagons. As the country was obscure, 
 densely wooded and had few roads, the movement-, of the army were neces- 
 sarily slow. The route lay through the valley of the Euharlee, across the 
 ridge of mountains, and through the old gold fields. One of the enemy's 
 cavalry pickets was captured who had upon his person an order from General 
 Johnston dated at Allatoona. which showed that he had detected the purpose 
 of Sherman in turning his position. 
 
 Dallas, the point arrived at. was em the east side of Pumpkinvine Creek, 
 a tributary of the Etowah, and was the concentration of many roads that 
 led in every direction. Its possession would be a threat to Marietta and 
 Allatoona. But first the railroad had to be regained as far down as it> de- 
 bouch from the Allatoona range of mountains. 
 
 The enemy could rarely be seen. Some dodged from tree to tree or 
 behind logs on the ground, or occasionally showed their heads above the 
 hastilv constructed but remarkablv stromr rifle trenches.

 BATTLE of RESACA, May 14th, 1864 
 The First Volley. 
 
150 Fi 11 r's < 'ii k > Brigade. 
 
 ( )n the 27th, there was a heavj attack by the enemy on the Fourth 
 
 Division and the pickets were driven hack to within ease range of the main 
 Dody. The Division was formed in two lines and advanced on the double- 
 quick to the firing line. The enemy was driven hack, but the Brigade lost 
 in this action, Captain Theodore Sawyer and Lieutenant Henry \Y. Diebolt, 
 two young and gallant officers of Company A. Twenty-seventh Ohio In- 
 fantry, who were mortally wounded. 
 
 After the battle of Dallas, the writer went from the front to the field 
 hospital in the rear to find his friend Lieutenant Henry Diebolt. He was 
 lying upon the hare ground with several hundred other dead and wounded 
 soldiers of the Fourth Division. .Many were groaning or rolling and toss- 
 ing with pain. Some were talking incoherently and raving. After talking 
 with Lieutenant Diebolt and consulting Dr. Denise, Surgeon of the Twenty- 
 seventh Ohio, who made an examination of the character of the wound, it 
 was found that Diebolt's wound was mortal. This fearful scene of suffering 
 made a lasting impression upon the writer. 
 
 On May 28th, the enemy made an attack with a large force and the 
 Union lines were fiercely assailed. A bloody battle ensued upon open 
 ground between Kingston and Cassville and skirmishing was kept up all 
 night. Our army closed down at daylight, and the enemy being repulsed, 
 broke and retreated beyond the Etowah River, with a loss of twenty-five 
 hundred men. 
 
 At midnight on May 29th, the enemy repeatedly charged the Union 
 lines and the fighting was as severe as any ever experienced. < )ur whole 
 army was now steadily working by the left until our strong infantry had 
 reached and secured possession of all the wagon roads between Xew Hope, 
 Allatoona and Ackworth. Then Gerrard's and Stoneman's Cavalry were 
 sent into the natural fortress of Allatoona. On June 4th. the Fourth Divi- 
 sion moved toward the town of Ackworth. The train of wagons with pro- 
 visions was left far behind and as a result, the soldiers went without supper. 
 That night the men slept on the ground or upon fence rails, if they could 
 he procured. < )n the following morning, it was found that the wagon train 
 had not yet come up, and so there was no breakfast. The heavy rain that 
 set in made the roads so deep with mud that they were almost impassable. 
 The enemy drew off from Xew Hope and evacuated their position. 
 Thus in the month of May. the Confederate Army had been driven from 
 its strong position at Dallas. The Union soldiers had marched one hundred 
 miles over as rough a country as a civilized army had ever seen. And yet 
 the men were prepared to go on. were anxious to fight and were confident 
 of success. The aggregate loss of the Union Army during the month of 
 May was. in killed, wounded and missing, nine thousand two hundred and 
 ninety-nine. 
 
Losses During May. 151 
 
 General Joseph E. Johnston, commanding the Confederate Army, gave 
 as His losses in killed and wounded during the month of May, five thousand 
 three hundred and ninety-three and the loss in prisoners, three thousand 
 two hundred and forty-five, making a total of eight thousand six hundred 
 and thirty-eight. General Johnston was .re-enforced during the month of 
 May by Martin's and Jackson's Divisions and Quarles' Brigade of Cavalry. 
 He gave his effective strength as sixty-four thousand four hundred and 
 fifty-six men. In the natural strength of the country, the continuation of 
 mam- mountain streams, and forests, the Confederate Army had a fair off- 
 set to our numerical strength. 
 
 On the 8th of June. General Frank P. Blair arrived at Ackworth with 
 the two divisions of his Seventeenth Corps, that had been on veteran fur- 
 lough. His nine thousand men with the new regiments that had joined us. 
 equalled our losses in battle, by sickness and by detachments, so that our 
 aggregate was about one hundred thousand effective men. 
 
 Communication to all parts of the army was kept up by couriers along 
 the cross roads or through the woods. McPherson's Army of the Ten'nessee 
 moved to the right near Van Wert. The Fourth Division crossed the 
 Etowah River on a canvas pontoon bridge and by fords. The skirmishers 
 were attacked by artillerv fire of shot and shell from the enemy, but after a 
 sharp fight, he was silenced. The ammunition and subsistence trains of the 
 Division followed the line of march during the night. General Thomas' 
 Army of the Cumberland moved in the center and Schofield's Army of the 
 Ohio, away to the left. Geary's Division extinguished the fire on the bridge 
 across Pumpkin \~ine Creek, and drove off the enemy's Cavalry. 
 
 While following near to an important cross roads called "New Hope," 
 a sharp battle ensued. The conflict was prolonged into the night which 
 was pitch dark. The woods were dense, it rained hard and the convergence 
 toward Dallas produced confusion. Meanwhile our armies were completing 
 their deployments, gradually overlapping the enemy on the right and thus 
 extending our left nearer and nearer the railroad. All this time a continu- 
 ous battle, about ten miles in length was in progress. The strong skirmish 
 lines took advantage of every species of cover and both the enemy and our 
 forces fortified each night witli rifle trenches made of trees and brush with 
 head logs, many of which grew to be as formidable as first clas< works of 
 defence. The soldiers became extremely skillful in the construction of 
 these works, because they realized their value and importance. They could 
 be constructed without orders in a single night. 
 
 On the night of June 10th. the troops of the Fourth Division were rear 
 guard to the wagon train and they experienced a hard and dismal march. 
 The rain poured down in torrents. The mud in the roads was deep in

 THE SKIRMISH LINE FEELING THE ENEMY. 
 
 ( hi June 12th the whole Fourth Division forming a heavy skirmish 
 line, moved forward and took position at Big Shanty, in full view of Little 
 and Hit; Kenesaw .Mountains. After pushing the enemy hack, the men 
 constructed and occupied strong earthworks. A continuous battle was 
 waged until the 19th when the enemy fell back from their position near the 
 base of the Kenesaw Mountain. Our Division immediately occupied their 
 works. In the operation. Company D of the Forty-Third Ohio captured a 
 strong barricade from the Twenty-ninth Tennessee Regiment. Lieutenant 
 James F. Day of Company K was killed and Lieutenant Frank B. Ilazelton 
 of Company A of the Twenty-seventh Ohio was wounded while in the rifle 
 pit. The works now occupied by us were very strong, having had a great 
 amount of labor expended upon them, and they occupied a high ridge of 
 ground. They were constructed by Governor Brown of Georgia, who em- 
 ployed a large force of negro slaves to do the work. 
 
 General Dodge ordered General Fuller to have the left of his brigade 
 rest at the rock-cut near the mill and with the rest of the Fourth Division, 
 to connect a> near as practicable, with the left of General Morgan's Brigadi 
 of the Fourteenth Corps. This would place theirs on the right of the rail- 
 road and would make his line run nearly north and south, lie also com- 
 manded the position to be more strongly intrenched. 
 
 Little Kenesaw was now just to our right and Big Kenesaw on our left 
 less than one mile distant. The men were obliged to sleep in a foul camp. 
 just abandoned by the "secesh" forces. It was plain to be seen that the ra-

 tions of the rebels consisted of corn meal for they had left quantities of it. 
 General Johnston had chosen the ground well for his army. It em- 
 braced Kenesaw, Pine and Lust Mountains. His position on the heights, 
 gave him a complete view over our field of operation. The Fourth Division 
 with McPherson's Army of the Tennessee, occupied the ground to the left, 
 following the railroad, which curved around the base of Kenesaw. Thomas' 
 Arm}- of the Cumberland was in the center, obliqued to the right, deploy- 
 ing below Kenesaw and facing Pine Mountain. Schofield'.s Army of the 
 Ohio, somewhat refused was on the general right, looking south, toward 
 Lost Mountain. The railroad was repaired up to our skirmish line, close 
 to the base of Kenesaw Mountain, and loaded trains of cars came to Big 
 Shanty. A locomotive, detached, was run forward within range of the 
 enemy's guns, to the tank to get water. The enemy opened fire, but the 
 engineer returned safely to his train, answering the shots with the screams 
 of his locomotive whistle, heightened by the shouts and loud cheers of our 
 soldiers. 
 
 • Hir developments were slow owing to the continuous rains. There 
 were no roads except those improvised by each division for its supply train 
 from Big Shanty to the camps. .Meanwhile our army was developing 
 against the enemy, intrenching every camp, a continuous line for ten miles, 
 conforming to the irregular position of the enemy, so as to be ready for a 
 sally. One morning at three o'clock, a rebel shouted down from the top of 
 the mountain: "Wake up, Yanks!" and immediately firing from both 
 sides commenced. 
 
 On June 26th, just at twilight. Captain Hamilton, a brave and intelli- 
 gent officer of Company I of the Twenty-seventy Ohio, came to the writer 
 at the earthworks, and while standing watching the carnage in front, he 
 said in part: "I have given much attention to the important questions aris- 
 ing between the North and the South, and they are of such vital interest 
 not only to thi> country, but to mankind all over the world, that I should 
 like to live long enough to know which side will win in this war, and what 
 the result of this struggle for the Union will be." His manner and words 
 gave the impression that he had a presentiment that he would be killed. 
 Poor Hamilton! That very night he was shot, while in line of duty with 
 his regiment ascending Kenesaw Mountain, and died a few days later. < )n 
 this same night, Sergeant-Major Skilton of the Twenty-seventh Ohio and 
 others were wounded. 
 
 At this time the enemy's cavalry in our rear compelled us to detach 
 cavalry back as far as Resaca and to strengthen all our infantry posts a- 
 far back as Nashville. Forrest had defeated General Sturgess at Guntown, 
 Tennessee, but A. |. Smith with his two divisions of the Sixteenth and 
 
154 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 Seventeenth Corps, which had been on the Red River expedition, was sent 
 against Forrest and defeated him at Tupelo. 
 
 There had been over twenty days of rain. The roads, fields, and woods 
 became quagmires and almost impassable, after a few wagons had passed 
 over them, yet the men were at work all the time and operations were 
 pressed with earnestness. 
 
 In June 27th. at nine o'clock in the morning, our troop-, moved to the 
 assault all along the lines which fronted Kenesaw .Mountain. 
 
 A furious fire of artillery and musketry was kepi up. The enemy met 
 us with determined courage and in great force. 'Hie Fourth Division of 
 McPherson's attacking column-, fought up to the face of the lesser Kene- 
 saw. but could not reach the summit. Thomas' assaulting columns reached 
 the parapet, where Generals Marker and Daniel McCook were mortally 
 wounded. We did not break the rebel lines but held our ground within a 
 few yards of the rebel trenches. ( )ur loss was two thousand five hundred 
 men. The rebels reported a loss of eight hundred and eight. 
 
 While the battle was in progress, our forces crossed Olley's Creek on 
 the right and gained a position on threatening the enemy's line of retreat, 
 and then to increase the effect, our cavalry proceeded rapidly still further to 
 the right. 
 
 THE CAPTURE OF BIG AND LITTLE KENESAW MOUNTAIN. 
 
 The Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth. Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio 
 Regiments with the whole Fourth Division now moved forward nearer to 
 the bases of Little and Big Kenesaw Mountains which rise fifteen hundred 
 feet from the plain. Then came the siege with its deadly skirmishing and 
 fighting. Late at night, on the 27th of June, the Twenty seventh and 
 Thirty-ninth Ohio, relieving the Sixty-fourth Illinois, advanced cautiously 
 up the mountain in the pitch darkness. The men. creeping and climbing 
 around the rocks, clutched at the trees to assist them upward, and finally 
 gained a position half way up to the summit. In this movement, the two 
 regiments lost many valuable officers ami men in killed and wounded. 
 They were shot by the hidden foe, whose position was hut a few yards in 
 front. When morning dawned, the) beheld from their ride pits a great 
 cannonading by the enemy at the top of the mountain where they had placed 
 their batteries, and also from the Union batteries massed on the plain below. 
 The solid shot from the latter, tore up trees, earth and rock, about the Con- 
 federate defences. The mountain sides were enveloped in flame and smoke 
 and the noise of shol and shell passing through tin- air. over the heads of 
 
156 
 
 Fuller's < >nn> Brigade. 
 
 the men was constant and terrible. The Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth 
 Ohio were relieved by the Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio. 
 
 On July 2nd, the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio again ad- 
 vanced up the side- of the mountain. The enemy's batteries were silenced 
 and on July 3rd, the Confederate Army evacuated its position and fled. 
 General Fuller reported officially that the flag of the Twenty-seventh ( Ihio 
 Regiment was fir-t to wave from the top of the mountain.

 BATTLE OF KENESAW MOUNTAIN. HA. 
 Confederate Onus going up the Mountain. 
 
Wading the Chattahoochee. 157 
 
 From the summit of the mountain was afforded a magnificent view of 
 the surrounding country, beautiful indeed on that bright Jul} day. To the 
 southward were Lost Mountain, Pine Mountain, and Stone Mountain with 
 the valley between, and the Chattahootchee River, twelve miles away, 
 winding in its course westward. Atlanta, the objective point of the cam- 
 paign, was seen on the plain, in the distance to the southward. The soldiers 
 were filled with joy and zeal and marched on with songs of victory. The 
 signals waved by the Confederates at the top of Kenesaw Mountain, were 
 translated and used by the Union Signal Corps during their occupation of 
 that stronghold. From these signals we learned of the death of the Con- 
 federate General Polk. 
 
 On July 4th, the army moved forward, the Fourth Division marching 
 toward Ruff's Mills on Nick-o-Jack Creek. The right of our army swung 
 around so as to threaten Marietta, and the enemy contracted his lines and 
 covered his position every where, with entrenchments. 
 
 CHARGE OF FULLERS OHIn BRIGADE. 
 
 One of the most successful charges made during the war of the rebel- 
 lion was that made by Fuller's Ohio Brigade at Ruff's Mills <>n N"ick-o- 
 Jack Creek, Georgia, six miles below Marietta, led by Colonel Xoyes of 
 the Thirty-ninth Ohio. On the morning of the above named day, the 
 glorious fourth of Jul}-, the Fourth Division marched past the Twentieth 
 and Twenty-third Corps and about ten o'clock, took the advance in line of 
 battle and drove the enemy several miles through a wooded country, over 
 fields and uneven ground forcing him out of his rifle pits, and back into 
 his main works at Nick-o-Jack Creek. These defenses. — called the Smyrna 
 line, — had been prepared by black labor, and were the most formidable 
 yet met with by the Union Army. General Sherman selected the Twenty- 
 seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio to be placed in the advance and to make the 
 charge. The Forty-third and Sixty-third were next in line, while the Eigh- 
 teenth Missouri and Sixty-fourth Illinois with nther troops on the right 
 and left flank were ordered to make a feint. 
 
 The charge was first ordered to take place at noon, but the work to 
 be accomplished was of such a serious nature that Generals Sherman. Mc- 
 Pherson, Dodge, Morgan L. Smith with other officers rode up to the posi- 
 tion to examine it. and much doubt was expressed as to the ability of a 
 small force to capture so strong a position. General Logan asked General 
 Imller to point out where the enemy lay. General Fuller replied." You can

 see them by looking down that narrow road, through the timber, across 
 that open field and behind those heavy works." "Well." said General Logan 
 "Why don't you take them?" "We are just getting ready." answered the 
 Brigade commander. General Morgan A. Smith remarked that more men 
 would be lost by sunstroke than by bullet. Colonel Noyes (afterward Gov- 
 ernor Noyes) was most earnest in his appeal for the opportunity to make the 
 attempt, saying in a loud voice, "We can and will take the enemy'-- work-.. 
 All we need is the order. 
 
 The position of the men at this time was most fatiguing. They had 
 marched so far all the morning hours, and since before noon had been 
 lying upon the ground in battle line without food, expecting every moment 
 to execute the forward movement. They were greatly fatigued and began 
 to be impatient and were quite out of humor, embittered and desperate at 
 the delav. There can hardly be a more depressing condition in practical 
 warfare than to lie for hours exposed to a galling fire that cannot be effect- 
 ually returned. 
 
 Finally the order came to make the charge at six o'clock at night. A 
 moment before that time each Captain placed himself in front of his com- 
 panv and said. "Men, we are to take those works in our front. We must 
 take them. Reserve your fire until you get to the enemy and don't waste 
 ammunition. Remember that you have never retreated. Let everyone of 
 you yell !" 
 
 Promptly at the hour. Bugler H. C. Parmalee of Fuller's Brigade 
 sounded the charge, the two regiments sprang from the ground and rushed 
 forward. The whole field was covered with Union blue- in an instant. 
 Men never went faster nor cheered louder in the face of such a storm of 
 bullets. Troops on the right, left and in the rear cheered with them. It 
 seemed but a few minutes before the charging column was out of the woods. 
 across the open fields, and were swarming over the enemys' earthworks 
 which were captured and held, together with a regiment of North Caro- 
 lina and Georgia troops, and with a great shout of triumph, our men 
 raised the old Hag over their conquest. The rest of the enemy fled, several 
 were bayonetted in the fight at the works. Among those captured were 
 two officers who said that they thought that the whole Yankee Army \va> 
 coming at them. Both the enemy and our own troops heard the bugle 
 sound at the same time, and the enemy being prepared, poured upon the 
 charging column, heavy volleys of musketry fire. Their bullets struck the 
 ground and cut the trees everywhere. 'Mir loss in killed and wounded in 
 this engagement was over one hundred and forty men in the two regiment?. 
 The Thirty-ninth Ohio lost it- brave Colonel, E. F. Noyes, whose wound 
 caused the amputation i if hi- lesr. 
 
160 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 General Sprague said that the charge was the wedge that cleaned out 
 the rehel works for a distance of six miles. Generals Fuller, McPherson, 
 and Dodge announced that it was one of the most brilliant, bold and des- 
 perate charges they had ever witnessed. Johnston's rehel army retreated 
 to the Chattahootchee River ami crossed over that night. 
 
 To the survivors who fought this fight to the finish, it was a momen- 
 tous affair. They lost some of their best and bravest men who had served 
 with them three years. One of the most sorrowful results of this battle 
 was the death of three comrades, mess mates, members of Company G, of 
 the Twenty-seventh Ohio, who fell, killed apparently by one bullet, pass- 
 ing though their necks. The men were Sergeant William I!. Atwell. and 
 Corporals Andrew J. McFarran and William Jaynes. Private 11. C. 
 Evans was wounded in this charge. This Smyrna line of earthworks was 
 the only line carried by a charge during the Atlanta Campaign. 
 
 On July 5th, a march was made by the Division to the right flank of 
 the army, a distance of eight miles. ( )n the 7th. a camp was made near the 
 Chattahoochee River on the extreme right of the army, on the Sand Town 
 Ferry Road. The Confederates and Union men swam in the river and met 
 each other, and some engaged in trading tobacco for coffee. 
 
 July 9th, march was made on roads that were heavy with deep, hot sand 
 for sixteen miles and camp was made south east of Marietta, Georgia. 
 In this section of the country, some of the soldiers found muscadine-, (a 
 kind of grape.) growing, which being a change from ordinary fare, the 
 men ate with great relish, the rations having been for many months only 
 bacon, hard bread and coffee. 
 
 On July 10th. the Division had a hot. dusty march of eleven miles to 
 the left of the army. No halt was made except for meals and an occa- 
 sional rest. This was the third march from one extreme flank of the 
 Army to the other, made by the fourth Division during the Atlanta cam- 
 paign. These movements required forced marches and in hot weather were 
 extremely fatiguing on soldiers. At Rossville Factory the troops waded 
 the Chattahoochee River which was more than waist deep and about a half 
 a mile wide with a rapid current. Meanwhile a hand standing in mid- 
 Stream, played "Yankee Doodle". General G. M. Dodge, writing of this 
 says: "It was as tine a sight as I ever saw. when Fuller's i (hid Brigade, in 
 line of battle forded the river. The enemy's Cavalry held the other sjde. 
 The troops moved across, holding their guns and cartridge boxes high 
 above their heads. The rebels poured in a heavy fire but it was too high. 
 \'ow and then a boy would step into a boh' and disappear for a moment, but 
 all got across and immediately sought shelter under the steep bank. Fuller 
 reformed and made a charge, cleaning out the enemy in short order. 
 
National Forces Invest Atlanta. 161 
 
 Camp was made on the south bank of the river, rifle pits were thrown 
 up and the troops made a good bridge over the river. The Forty-third 
 Ohio was detached to hold this bridge until the army transportations then 
 loading at Marietta, could cross the river. 
 
 On Sunday July 17th. march was made toward Atlanta, engaging the 
 enemy. July 18th camp was made at Nancy's Creek. July 19th. the 
 Fourth Division moved at five o'clock in the morning and supported the 
 force during the engagement at Peach Tree Creek, arriving at Decatur in 
 time to receive a good shelling from the enemy's guns. The First Missouri 
 Artillery of the Fourth Division wheeled into position and replied to the 
 enemy with solid shot to such good effect that the enemy withdrew. In 
 the evening part of the Fourth Division moved toward Atlanta, leaving 
 the Sixty-third Ohio at Decatur. 
 
 Our successful contraction of the enemy's line encouraged us but dis- 
 couraged him. From the 10th of June to the 3rd of July, there was con- 
 tinuous battle. Our losses in the several corps were seven thousand five 
 hundred and sixty-five. The Confederate losses, reported by Johnston were 
 five thousand nine hundred and forty-eight, showing that our losses were 
 less in proportion than in the relative strength of the two armies, namely, 
 six to ten, which the desperate game of war justified. 
 
 The crossing of the Chattahoochee River and the breaking of the Au- 
 gusta railroad was most handsomely executed and will be studied as an ex- 
 ample of the art of war. 
 
 The Confederate General Johnston, anticipating the movement of the 
 Union Army from the mountains toward the Chattahoochee River and 
 Atlanta, had built strong abatis and redoubts. A thousand slaves had been 
 at work for more than a month on these lines, which extended from the 
 river above the railroad bridge to Turner's Ferry, about six miles in ex- 
 tent in the valley of the Chattahoochee. We held possession of the river 
 above for eighteen miles, as far as Rossville, and below ten miles to the 
 mouth of the Sweetwater. We held the high ground overlooking the move- 
 ments of the enemy. From a hill, we could see the houses in Atlanta, nine 
 miles distant, and the whole of the intervening valley of the Chattahoochee. 
 We could see the camps of men and large trains of covered wagons and 
 could observe the preparations for our reception on the other side. John- 
 ston was anxious to defend and to save Atlanta, which was a city of vital 
 importance to his army, and to the Confederacy itself. The rebel arm) 
 evacuated its trenches and crossed the river in the night, burning the rail- 
 road trestle bridge and pontoons, leaving us in full possession of the north 
 bank. 
 
162 Fuller's < >hio Brigade. 
 
 In the meantime, stores were accumulated at Marietta and Allatoona, 
 both fortified and garrisoned points. The movement of our army toward 
 Atlanta was on a general right wheel, the Army of the Cumberland on the 
 right, \rm\ of the Ohio in the center, and Fuller's Fourth Division with 
 the \rmy of the Tennessee well over toward Stone Mountain, breaking up 
 the railroad, its advance reaching Decatur at night where it came into com- 
 munication with Schofield. Our lines were advanced in compact order close 
 up to these finished intrenchments. strong parapet-, with ditch, frize. cliev- 
 aux-de-frize, and abatis. 
 
 Dodge's two divisions (Sweeny's Second and Fuller's Fourth) of the 
 Sixteenth Corp-, were directed from the main road along a diagonal one, 
 that led to the extreme left of the Army of the Tennessee, which was then 
 held by Giles A. Smith's Division of the Seventeenth Corps, for the pur- 
 pose of strengthening that flank. Intrenching tools were sent to erect bat- 
 teries Stoneman's Cavalry had crossed the river at Camhletown to threat- 
 en the railroad below Atlanta. 
 
 At noon on the 20th, while the Army of the Cumberland was rest- 
 in-, the enemy advanced rapidly from its trenches against them. After 
 two hours of close conflict, the enemy retired leaving his dead and wounded 
 on the field. 
 
 "On the 20th of July 1804, at the carrying of Leggett's Hill in front 
 of Atlanta, Colonel Tom Reynolds of the Seventeenth Corps, was shot 
 through the leg. When the surgeons were debating in his hearing the pro- 
 priety of amputating it, he begged them to spare his leg. because, a- he 
 -aid, it was very valuable, being an imported leg. (He was of Irish birth). 
 This well-timed piece of wit saved his leg. for the surgeons said that if he 
 could perpetrate a joke at such a time, they would trust to his vitality to 
 save his limb." 
 
 INVESTMENT OF ATLANTA. 
 
 ( >n the 21 -t. the Fourth Division supported the Xational forces in bat- 
 tle and moved to the left to a point one mile south of the Augusta and At- 
 lanta Railroad. 
 
 < >n the morning of the 22nd of July, the 43rd Ohio started from the 
 Chattahoochee River for Decatur, twenty miles distant, with a train of fif- 
 teen hundred wagons. The fight was -till in progress and < ieneral Sprague 
 was making a most gallant resistance, with the Sixty-third Ohio. Twenty- 
 fifth Wisconsin and Thirty-fifth New Jersey. The Forty-third was hurried 
 forward by it- Colonel and was placed in position to protect the wagon

 train, while it filed off to the rear of the National Army. Through the 
 audacity of Colonel Sprague combined with the promptness of Colonel 
 Swayne and the fearless spirit of the men. not a single wagon was lost 
 by the attack of Wheeler's and [verson's Cavalry, thus averting a calamity 
 that might have been fatal to the success of the National Army at that 
 time- 
 
 Early in the morning of the 22nd of July, in moving forward, the 
 Sixteenth Army Corps was thrown out of position by the contraction of 
 the circle of investment of the city. The Fourth Division and the Second 
 Division closed up near the extreme left and rear of the Seventeenth Corps 
 and the enemy fell back into their main works. These works were thirty 
 feel high in some places, had been built by slave labor and were located on 
 the easterly side of the town of Atlanta. The writer in company with sev- 
 eral officers went to the front to observe the situation. The (Georgia militia 
 was then occupying part of the fortifications. They were dressed as citizens. 
 in white shirt sleeves. Their artillery was passing up a street apparent- 
 ly withdrawing from their position, but it was really part of the enemy's 
 force then moving to their right, around the Union Army's left and rear. 
 
 Sherman's Army at this time was stretched out from east to west 
 about nine miles in length. It now closed up and invested the city. Gen- 
 eral James 1',. MePherson. commanding the Army of the Tennessee, had 
 General Logan's Fifteenth Army Corps across the Augusta Railroad, east of 
 Atlanta. < )n its left was General Blair's Seventeenth Corps, with Gen- 
 eral Dodge's left wing of the Sixteenth Corps. On the right of the Army 
 of the Tennessee, were General Schofield's lines of the Army of the Ohio. 
 Next on the right was General Thomas' Army of the Cumberland. Nearly 
 all but the Sixteenth Corps were behind earthworks which had been hastily 
 thrown up and nearly all had strong reserves. 
 
 On July 22nd, all wagon trains were parked in the rear. ( )rders were 
 given to the troops of the Second and Fourth Divisions of Dodge's Sixteenth 
 Corps, to destroy every rail and tie from Decatur up to the skirmish line. 
 Lively skirmishing was going on in front of Thomas' and Schofield's com- 
 mands, on their right, and occasionally a gun toward Decatur, was fired, 
 too far to the left-rear to be explained by known facts. 
 
 General Fuller's Bugler, H. C. Parmalee. a soldier of Company G of 
 the Twenty-seventh Ohio Regiment, had been fired upon by the enemy 
 from the left-rear flank, while carrying orders, and he informed General 
 Fuller of a large body of Confederates passing to our left. The General 
 ordered him to sound the bugle call "into line". General MePherson hastily 
 mounting his horse at headquarters, hurried down his lines to find what 
 these sounds meant, lie saw Sweeny's and Fuller's Division engage and

 drive the enemy back, and with the remark "they are doing well", he rode 
 along- a road leading across the wooded valley and disappeared into the 
 woods, doubtless with a sense of great security. The sound of musketry was 
 heard and McPherson's horse came back wounded, bleeding and riderless, 
 and McPherson, the great leader was dead, shot by a force that had got 
 around the Seventeenth Corps, through the blind woods in the rear of our 
 left flank. The ball had ranged upward across his body, near the heart. 
 His remains were sent home to Clyde Ohio, and there buried. He came 
 from an old family of Scotch Presbyterians. He was an accomplished en- 
 gineer of the highest order, and he was a thorough soldier. 
 
 The railroad and wagon road from Decatur to Atlanta lay along a 
 summit, from which the waters flowed by short steep valleys, into the Peach 
 Tree and Chattahootchee to the west, and by other valleys of greater de- 
 clivity toward the east. The ridges and level ground were mostly cleared, 
 but where the valleys were broken, they were left in a state of nature, 
 wooded and full of undergrowth. 
 
 McPherson's line of battle was across this railroad, along a general 
 ridge, with a gentle but cleared valley to his front between him anil At- 
 lanta, and another valley behind him was clear of timber in part, but to 
 his left and rear, the country was heavily wooded. 
 
 The Confederate General Hood, who had succeeded Johnston, during 
 the night of July 21st, had withdrawn his army from his Peach Tree line and 
 had occupied the fortified line of Atlanta, facing north and east. Leaving G. 
 W. Smith's Division of militia, Stewart's and part of Hardee's Corps to oc- 
 cupy the forts, his own Corps and part of Hardee's had marched out to the 
 railroad, leading from McDonough to Decatur, and had turned so as to 
 strike the left of McPherson's Army of the Tennessee "in air." At the 
 same time, he had sent Wheeler's Division of cavalry against the train- 
 parked at Decatur. Unluckily for our army, Gerrard's Division of Cavalry 
 was away on a raid eastward to burn the bridges across the Ulcofauhatchee 
 and yellow rivers, so that McPherson had no cavalry in hand to guard thai 
 flank. 
 
 THE BATTLE OK ATLANTA, GEORGIA. JULY 22x1), 1864. 
 
 The battle of July 22nd. was fought on the east side of Atlanta.. 
 The troops engaged were the left wing of General Sherman's Union Army, 
 consisting of the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Corps commanded 
 by General McPherson, against the great bulk of General Hood's Confed 
 erate Army which was composed of Hardee, Cheatham and Walker divi- 
 sions. 
 
Battle in the Open Field. 167 
 
 About one o'clock in the after noon the enemy had arrived at a point on 
 the left and rear of the Union Army, and were well in position, the) ad- 
 vanced and struck the Union pickets, being enabled under cover of the foi 
 est to approach quite near before he was discovered, indeed his skirmish 
 line had got into the field in the rear of General Giles A. Smith's Division 
 of the Seventeenth Corps, unseen. At that moment, the Fourth Division 
 with the exception of the Forty-third Ohio and the Sixty-third < )hio, and 
 the Thirty-fifth New Jersey, and the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin, which were 
 at Decatur, further east, was still closed up to the Seventeenth Corps, 
 massed to strengthen any portion of the Union line, and at rest. The Second 
 Division was north of the Augusta Railroad ami was just in the best posi- 
 tion to meet the coming enemy, who was curtained by the timber. Sudden- 
 ly on the left, and rear, came the sound of firing, it startled the soldiers 
 and instinctively the danger of a Hank movement flashed upon their minds. 
 Instantly they grasped their muskets. Orders were anticipated and every 
 man fell into line. Officers mounted in great haste, and orderlies with dis- 
 patches rode off at full speed. Orders to move were received in a mo- 
 ment, to meet the impending danger on the left. The movement was on 
 the double-quick for a distance of a half a mile, then faced to the south, 
 formed quickly into line of battle, at right angles with the Seventeenth 
 Corps and as quickly as it takes to tell it, the battle was on and raging with 
 greatest fury. Connection with the Seventeenth Corps on the right of this 
 new position was not complete. A gap of one half a mile or more was left 
 unoccupied by Union troops. It was over this space on the unused road 
 that General Fuller's command had just marched and on which General 
 McPherson, commander of the Army of the Tennessee, was riding when 
 he was ambushed and killed. He had passed our troops who cheered him 
 vociferously, had bowed his head in acknowledgement, with his usual gen 
 ial smile, and had ridden on unconscious of his danger to his death. 
 
 The Fourth Division moved quickly for position to save our trains or 
 to avoid a worse disaster. The Second Division was separated from the 
 Fourth Division by a transverse ravine. The right of the rebel line had 
 struck our left flank while in motion. The rebels attacked boldly and re- 
 peatedly but met an equally fierce resistance and on that bloody ground 
 the battle raged from a little after noon till night. 
 
 When the enemy advanced, the men were lying upon the ground. No 
 orders could keep them down. They rose to their feet, took deliberate aim 
 and discharged their pieces. 
 
 As soon as the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiments were 
 halted, Company A of the Twenty-seventh Ohio, commanded by First 
 Lieutenant Charles H. Smith, in the absence of Captain Bryan, was by

 order thrown forward as skirmishers to cover the field in front. The men 
 advanced with the skirmishers of the Thirty-ninth Ohio on the double- 
 quick over a rise of ground and went across the field like veterans as they 
 were. They were under a terrific fire from the enemy who had formed in 
 masses at the edge of the dense wood, and who advanced their whole line 
 upon the field, four deep, their bullets pattering on the ground like rain- 
 drops. The skirmishers held them at bay until the order was given for 
 the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth to charge. The two regiments sprang 
 from the ground and rushed upon the enemy. Then came the impact of the 
 two opposing forces — a battle waged in the open field, with no protection 
 of earthworks on either side — a battle, the most sanguinary of the war. 
 
 The flags of the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth ( >hio and of the 
 Confederate regiments were placed siclc* by >ide, and two opposing forces 
 fought with desperation and bitterness to gain the mastery, until the Con- 
 federate lines were broken and driven back into cover of the woods. In the 
 meantime a large body of the enemy had passed through the open space 
 to the rear, so that Fuller's Division was actually surrounded on the front, 
 right flank and rear. 
 
 General Fuller, observing this state of affairs, brought up part of a 
 reserve regiment, the splendid Sixty-fourth Illinois, who struck the enemy, 
 which had passed the rear, unawares, and pushed him back. At the same 
 time, the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth made a half wheel and com- 
 menced firing into their flank, compelling them to retreat in confusion from 
 the field, for the second time. The two regiments followed them to the tim- 
 ber, but again the enemy reformed their lines under command of General 
 Walker, who was killed while urging his men, almost at the instant of their 
 forward movement. He fell in front of the firing line of the Twenty-seventh 
 Ohio, Company A. The two regiments now lay flat upon the ground, 
 firing at the advancing enemy. At this moment. ( ieneral Fuller seized the 
 flag of the Twenty-seventh, raised it aloft, and the two regiments moved 
 forward with a great shout and drove the enemy back in final defeat. 
 
 The sash and gauntlets belonging to General McPherson were found 
 upon one of the enemy's dead. When the skirmishers were rejoining their 
 regiment at the beginning of the engagement, three of them fell flat to the 
 ground and the enemv ran over them. When the enemy retreated, tin 
 Union soldiers jumped up from the ground and rejoined the firing line. 
 
 The work of Laird's Fourteenth Ohio Battery, stationed on the left 
 of Fuller's Fourth Division was the greatest piece of artillery practice dur- 
 ing the war. 
 
 During the rebel charges, the guns of the Fourteenth Ohio were firing 
 incessantlv. the men at the guns were stripped and in their shirt sleeves. 
 

Fighting for Atlanta. 171 
 
 Twice the enemy drove the infantry back nearly to the muzzles of the guns 
 of the battery. They recoiled and fell hack from the destructive fire, with 
 great gaps in their ranks. The Eighty-first Ohio men swarmed to the sup- 
 port of the battery whose guns were then turned to the right, and across 
 the front of Fuller's Division, at that time lying down on a rise of ground, 
 just before they made their last charge. It was then that the Fourteenth 
 Ohio Battery poured in one of the most destructive tires upon the enemy, 
 that was ever seen on any battle field. Men were literally blown to pieces 
 and their lines melted away. Although we were winning a victory, it was 
 horrible to see men so slaughtered. 
 
 No army ever before fought to a successful finish a battle against such 
 an overwhelming force. The enemy's dead bodies covered the field where 
 they were slain in the unavailing attempt to break through the Union lines. 
 
 The battle to the left, so far. had been fought on the Union side by 
 less than five thousand men of Dodge's Sixteenth Corps. mainU 1>\ parts <>f 
 Fuller's Fourth and Sweeny's Second Divisions. After the third repulse of 
 the enemy's advance, the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio Regi- 
 ments moved to the right and attacked Cleburn's force in the rear and flank, 
 preventing them from reforming or adjusting their lines, and from making 
 a third attack upon the lines of the Seventeenth Corps, then comtnanded 
 by (ieneral Blair, Leggett and Giles A. Smith, whose magnificent fighting 
 during this day, from both sides of the works, reads like romance rather 
 than reality. These splendid veterans who had worked incessantly at in- 
 trenching without rest for two nights, leaped over their works, put their 
 backs to Atlanta, and received and repelled the charging columns that came 
 upon them from the rear with demoniac yells, so characteristic of the Texan--. 
 But nil -i ii -tier had the enemy been driven back on each occasion, when 
 Cheatham's Corps advanced from the direction of Atlanta, the second time 
 covering the entire front of the Seventeenth and Fifteenth Corps. The 
 Union troops, jumping to the right side of their works, repulsed each 
 charge. Part of the Fifteenth Corps under (ieneral Logan, had lost some 
 ground in this attack but recovered their line. 
 
 That battle along the front of the Army of the Tennessee was des- 
 perate and bloody beyond description. For vindictiveness and desper- 
 ation, this encounter was never excelled. The carnage was terrible and 
 sickening. The ground was covered with the mangled, dead and dying of 
 both armies. 
 
 The Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Regiments ale me. lost two hun- 
 dred and seventy-three men killed or wounded. Cleburn reported to liar 
 dee that this battle was the bitterest of his life. 
 
172 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 It was the purpose of the Confederates to Hank the Union Army on 
 its left, double hack upon the center, and break up the investment of the 
 city, and then drive the Union Army across the Chattahootchee River in 
 
 retreat. 
 
 The scene upon the field during the engagement was grand and impres- 
 sive. It seemed that every mounted officer of the attacking column, was 
 riding at the front of, or on the right, or the left of the first line of battle. 
 Their regimental flags as well as ours, waved and fluttered in advance. 
 Their movement was covered by a well-directed lire of artillery, posted in 
 the woods on higher ground, hut is seemed impossible for the enemy to 
 face the sweeping fire of Fuller's and the other divisions. 'Idle sun shown 
 down upon the field from a clear sky, the heat was excessive, and the sol- 
 diers suffered from thirst almost beyond endurance. 
 
 General Hood, commanding the Confederate forces occupied a posi- 
 tion where much of both armies could be seen, directing the movements 
 of his troop-, and finally suffering the mortification and humiliation of de- 
 feat. Yet his vanity was such that he could not recognize his own faulty 
 military judgement, but rashly blamed .his troops, whose dead and bleed- 
 ing bodies strewn over the field attested to their valor. He did not seem 
 to comprehend the fact that he was confronted by experienced soldiers 
 who had fought over hundreds of miles of territory, securing victories in 
 every battle from Springfield, Missouri, to Donaldson, Shiloh, Iuka, Cor- 
 inth. Vicksburg and Chattanooga; who had whipped his command through 
 the mountains of northern Georgia; who were accustomed to fierce ;iv 
 sattlts and yells and who always gave the return blows strong and heavy. 
 It was General Grant's old army, and it was General Grant himself who 
 said of this army, "It is invincible. No foe can stop their onward march," 
 
 When General Hood stood on the hill at Resaca. in Ma\ previous, 
 and with hated breath, saw the Army of the Tennessee issue from the nar- 
 row (Utile of Snake Greek Gap and roll in sweeping and beautiful lines 
 over the hills and valleys, with the design of carrying that position, he was 
 told by his Chief of Staff that the Army of the Tcnnes.ee was there to fight, 
 it knew how to fight and was willing to fight. 
 
 It must be regretted bv all and especially by the tried and true soldiers 
 of the Fourth, Fourteenth, Twentieth and Twenty-third Corps, commanded 
 bv ( ienerals Thomas, Schofield, Slocum, and Howard, respectively, that 
 General Sherman's order was not enforced to strike the foe in their front, 
 which on the 22nd of July was only a thin line, notwithstanding they were 
 behind works. If these four corps had been allowed to attack. Hood's 
 Army would have been crushed and captured at Atlanta. 
 
Movements ro ithe Right. 173 
 
 It is matter of history that only two Army commanders were killed in 
 battle during the War of the Rebellion, both of whom were of the highest 
 type of the American soldier. On the Confederate side, Albert Sydney 
 Johnston, fell at Shiloh, April 6th. 1862. Surrounded by his friends, he fell 
 at the hour of defeat. On the Union side, James B. McPherson on July 
 22nd. 1864. Alone with the exception of an orderly. He fell at the moment 
 nf victory. He wa- a gallant gentleman who blended the gentleness of the 
 friend with the dignity of a soldier. 
 
 The engagement lasted about five hours. The Union troops in pos- 
 session of the battle field picked up the wounded and buried the dead. 
 Many soldiers of Fuller's Division were wounded more than once. Some 
 sat down and picked bullets out of their belts, guns, cartridge boxes, and 
 canteens. The dead were brought from the battle field back to a clump of 
 pines where in the presence of the survivors, they were buried wrapped in 
 their blankets. Under the pines, two miles southeast of Atlanta, near where 
 they fell, rest the brave heroes of Fuller's Ohio Brigade, and of his Div- 
 ision. . 
 
 The battle of the 22nd of July in front of Atlanta is recognized among 
 military men as one of the most obstinateh fought, and the victory a-; most 
 vital to the interests of the Union cause during the war of the rebellion. 
 
 During the battle, the attacks upon our lines were made seven times 
 and seven times repulsed. The final stampede of the enemy was complete. 
 They left the field without semblance of organization, and retired during 
 the night, inside of Atlanta. The Union troops captured eighteen stand of 
 colors and five thousand stand of arms. The prisoners included thirty-three 
 commissioned officers of high rank. The Union troops were in fine spirits 
 over the results of the battle. 
 
 MOVEMENT OF THE UNION ARMY TO THE RIGHT. 
 
 The Division remained on the battle field until the 25th. when an ad- 
 vance of a mile was made to the front. While on picket, the writer, be- 
 ing an officer of the guard, received orders from General Sherman at two 
 o'clock in the morning of the 27th. to vacate the whole line quietly, to al- 
 low no fires, and to have no talking above a whisper. This was done and 
 the Division with the Army of the Tennessee, swung around the entire army 
 in a flank movement to the extreme right, marching twenty-eight miles and 
 taking position the same evening, in a dense woods, across Proctor's Creek. 
 The Seventeenth Corps came up the next morning on our right and the 
 Fifteenth with them on the extreme right.

 THE BATTLE OF THE 28TH OF JULY. 
 
 ( In the 28th of July the Division moved in line of battle, half a mile 
 nearer to Atlanta and threw up breastworks. Ai ten o'clock in the morning 
 two corps of the enemy. Lee'- and Hardee'-, massed against ami attacked 
 the lines of the Sixteenth and the Fifteenth Corps. They made -ix (lis 
 i met charges, but were repulsed with great slaughter. The Union forces 
 captured five battle flags and two thousand muskets. Three regiments of 
 the Fourth Division, (the Sixty-fourth Illinois, Thirty-fifth New Jersej 
 and Sixty-third Ohio) were sent to re-enforce the Fifteenth Corps. 
 
 At the end of July our infantry line was strongly intrenched, hut 
 was drawn out from the Augusta Road on the left to the Sand Town Road 
 on the right, a distance of ten miles. The enemy presented a bold front 
 with fortified lines that defied direet assault. The weather had been hot in 
 the extreme. There had been a month of conflict without intermission. 
 Many of our men had been killed or wounded. Willis Fisher of the Forty- 
 third Ohio was torn to pieces by a shell while preparing hi- morning coffee. 
 
 From July 1st to 31st, in all the Union corps, there were in killed, 
 wounded and missing, nine thousand seven hundred and nineteen. This 
 did not embrace the losses in the cavalry which was small. In the rebel 
 army the losses including prisoners, from July 4th to 31st were ten thou- 
 sand eight hundred and fortv-one.

 The bridge across the Chattahoochee River had been reconstructed 
 and the rear of our army was so well guarded that the trains arrived from 
 Nashville daily and all wants were well-supplied. 
 
 By August 4th. reports were received of the surrender of seven hun- 
 dred of Stoneman's Cavalry, near Macon, Georgia. Stoneman stood and 
 covered the escape of two small brigades while surrendering to Colonel 
 Iverson. Colonels Brownlow, Adams, and Capron. with their detachments 
 of cavalry, came in perfectly demoralized. 
 
 McCook's Cavalry expedition had crossed the Chattahootchee River, 
 then marched rapidly across the Macon Railroad at Lovejoy station. They 
 tore up two miles of track, burned two trains of cars, cut away telegraph 
 wires, killed eight hundred mules, burned five hundred wagons, and cap- 
 tured five hundred men. Turning back to Newman, AlcCook found him- 
 self completely surrounded by infantry and cavalry. He had to drop his 
 prisoners and fight his way out to Turner's Ferry, losing about six hun- 
 dred men. 
 
 The weather continued hot and sultry, but the supplies of water and pro- 
 visions were ample and our position before Atlanta, healthy. Our skir- 
 mish line was held close up to the enemy and kept up a continuous clat-

 ter of musketry. The main lines were held still further hack, with mus- 
 kets loaded and stacked ready for instant use. 
 
 On the 7th of August, the Fourteenth Corps, now under command of 
 fefferson C. Davis, and Schofield's Corps, got around and assaulted the 
 
 enemy and drove him behind his main hreastworks which covered the rail- 
 road from Atlanta to East Point. < >n the same day, the Twenty-seventh 
 and Forty-third Ohio with the Thirty-ninth Ohio, the Eighteenth Mis- 
 souri, and the Sixty-fourth Illinois, acting as reserves, advanced the line 
 three hundred yards. They crossed an open field, went into thick win ids, 
 and built rifle pits along the brow of a ridge, the enemy falling hack. The 
 soldiers worked hard that sultry day, and they were tired when the -hades 
 of night gathered around them in the gloom of the pine and oak forest. 
 Those who w-ere not on duty, relaxed the constant vigilance in watching 
 for the enemy, care was laid aside, and one by one. with a firm hold on 
 their guns, they dropped off to sleep. Firing ceased along the line, the wind 
 gradually quieted down, and the moon came up and shone through the 
 trees. There was stillness in the balmy air. 
 
 As was usual, the pickets were warned to listen for an) signs of the 
 enemy, and so a few men crawled out in front of the vidette, and stooping 
 beneath the foliage of the trees and the underbrush, listened for sounds of 
 moving troops, artillery or wagons. After lying there for some time, a 
 slight breeze sprang up, carrying with it from the enemy's camp, the clear 
 soft strains of music from a band, the noise of a vast camp, and confused 
 sounds of voices continuing late into the night. There was no sign of attack. 
 
 ( )n August 8th, the third brigade of the Division arrived from Decatur, 
 Alabama. The Seventeenth New York, commanded by Colonel John W. 
 Tillson, were uniformed as Zouaves, with bright red fez and trousers. To- 
 gether with other troops, they relieved the Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth 
 and Forty-third Ohio Regiments and in a few minutes, created a small bat- 
 tle, losing nine killed and wounded. The troops they relieved, returned to 
 the trenches and soon the firing quieted down. The Zouaves exchanged 
 their showy dress for the regulation uniform, soon afterward, for it was 
 found that the bright color was a better mark for the enemy, causing greater 
 mortality in battle. The men of the Fourth Division wore clothing stained 
 by constant use, to the color of the Georgia soil and were less visible to 
 the enemy. 
 
 On the 10th. heavy parrot guns were received and placed in position 
 and a sharp fire was kept up from all our batteries converging on Atlanta. 
 Our infantry lines were advanced thereby shortening and strengthening 
 our investment. The Twenty-seventh Ohio marched on August 10th, to 
 Marietta. Georgia, and served under orders of the Provost Marshal. There 
 
Capti re mi Atlanta. 177 
 
 were eight thousand patients in the hospitals. Business blocks were used 
 for army stores, and churches and hotels for the sick and wounded. 
 
 On August 13th, all non-veterans from the Fourth Division went home. 
 On August 25th, strong reconnaissances forward from our flanks, on the 
 right and left, were made by our cavalry, in the hope of decoying Hood out 
 of Atlanta, and to make him fight us on something like equal terms. Mean- 
 while the utmost activity was ordered along our whole front by the in- 
 fantry. 
 
CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 Sherman's Great Flank Movement. 
 
 Kilpatrick's Cavalry made a circle of Atlanta, destroying the railroad 
 about Jonesborough. General G. M. Dodge, commanding the Sixteenth 
 Corps, had been wounded and had gone to the rear, and his two divisions 
 were distributed to the Fifteenth and Seventeenth Corps. The Fourth 
 Division of the Sixteenth Corps was now assigned as the First Division of 
 the Seventeenth Corps. The Fourth and Twentieth Corps, closed up with 
 the Fourteenth Corps at Utoy Creek. At the same time Gerrard's Cavalry, 
 leaving their horses out of sight, occupied the vacant trenches, so that the 
 enemy did not detect the change. 
 
 SEVENTEENTH ARMY CORPS BADGE. 
 
 On the 26th the First Division with Seventeenth and Fifteenth Corps, 
 drew out of their trenches, made a wide circuit, and came up on the extreme 
 right of the Fourteenth Corps, along Utoy Creek facing south. On the 
 25th, the Twentieth drew back to the railroad bridge at the Chattahoochee 
 River to protect our railroad communication to the rear. 
 
 On the following morning, some of the enemy came out of Atlanta 
 and found our camps near the city, abandoned. There was great rejoic- 
 ing in Atlanta that the "Yankees were gone." The fact was telegraphed 
 all over the south. Several trains full of ladies came up from Macon to 
 assist in the celebration of their supposed victory. 
 
 On the 28th, the First Division reached the West Point railroad, the 
 army lines extending from East Point to Fairburn, where the railroad 
 track was heaved up in sections, the length of a regiment and then separ- 
 ated rail by rail. Bonfires were made of the ties on which the rails were 
 heated, carried to trees, wrapped around and left to cool. Thus it will be 
 seen that < ieneral Sherman was one of the masters in the science of war 
 He had moved his army twenty-six miles to the rear, in the face of the Con- 
 federate Army and had placed them across the railroad at Jonesborough. 
 
General Sherman's Report. 179 
 
 On the 30th, the enemy made his first move at Mount Gilead, then to 
 Morrow's Mills and intrenched at Jonesborugh. On September 1st, the 
 Fourteenth Corps closed down on the north front of Jonesborough, con- 
 necting with the Seventeenth Corps, his left reaching the Fourth Corps and 
 then swept forward in full view, and went over the rebel parapet-- hand- 
 somely. The hirst and Second Divisions of the Seventeenth Corps were 
 sent around by his right rear to get below Jonesborough. to reach the rail- 
 road and cut off the enemy's retreat, in that direction The Fourth Corps 
 was hurried forward so as to lap around Jonesborough on the east, hop- 
 ing there to capture the whole of Hardee's Corps, but night came on and 
 Hardee escaped. Atlanta was now untenable and at two o'clock on the 
 morning of the 2nd of September, after blowing up their arsenals and 
 machine shops and burning their army stores, the city was abandoned by 
 the Confederates and they moved out in retreat. The Twentieth Corps 
 moved forward and took possession. In all these movements during the 
 great swing of the army, to the right and below Atlanta, the Twenty-seventh, 
 Thirty-ninth. Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio Regiments were heavily 
 engaged in battle, assisted in destroying railroads, and took part in all the 
 movements of the Division and Army.

 The news of the capture of Atlanta "the gate city of the south" was 
 spread to the Army. The men were wild with cheers, shouts and rejoic- 
 ing. Their three months of toil and hardship had ended. The tidings flew 
 to all parts of the north and congratulations came pouring hack. Des- 
 patches were received with the thanks of the President from the White 
 House. General Grant at City Point, Virginia, ordered a salute with shot- 
 ted guns from every batten- bearing upon the enemy. A Presidential 
 election was agitating the North. Mr. Lincoln represented the National 
 cause and the brilliant success at Atlanta made his election certain. Mc- 
 Clellan had accepted the nomination of the so-called Democratic party, 
 whose platform was that the war was a failure. The price of gold fell at all 
 commercial centers. The greatest epoch of treason had been reached and 
 the crisis of the war was now passed. 
 
 The Thirty-ninth, Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio Regiments with 
 the First Division, Seventeenth Army Corps. Army of the Tennessee, went 
 into camp at East Point. Georgia. The Twenty-seventh Ohio went into 
 camp at Marietta and the Army of the Cumberland in and about Atlanta, 
 and the Army of the Ohio at Decatur. Atlanta was made a military gar- 
 rison, with no population to influence military measures. The question of 
 supplying our army . so far in the interior, became a vital question for the 
 military authorities to solve. We could not remain on the defensive simply 
 holding Atlanta and fighting for the safety of its railroads. Many citizens 
 of Georgia in private interviews, with our officers, proclaimed that further 
 resistance on the part of the south was madness, and would advocate the 
 withdrawal of the people from the rebellion. Governor Joseph E Brown 
 of Georgia, ordered the state militia to withdraw from Hood's command, 
 but he only furloughed them. 
 
 The campaign just closed was the longest and the most continuously 
 successful during the war of the rebellion. It covered a period of one hun- 
 dred and twenty days, forcing the enemv a distance of nearly two hundred 
 miles, through the mountains of northern Georgia. On each of these days 
 the fighting rose to the proportions of a battle. 
 
 The Confederate Commander Hood came from Virginia bringing with 
 him veteran troops and boasting that he would show the southwestern Con- 
 federates how to fight. lie lost four battles around Atlanta, and then the 
 city itself. A few weeks later, he lost his entire army. 
 
 Hood was bold and rash. At last he made the mistake we had waited 
 for so long; he sent his cavalry to die rear, far beyond reach of recall. In- 
 stantly our cavalry was on his only remaining road and we followed quickly 
 with our army and Atlanta fell into our possession, the fruit of well con- 
 1 rted measures backed by a brave and competent army.

 (ieneral Logan who had been in command of the Army of the Tennes- 
 see since the death of General McPherson, returned to the command of 
 the Fifteenth Corps and was succeeded by General Howard who took com- 
 mand of the Armv of the Tennessee, on the 24th day of July, and on the 
 9th of September, issued a congratulatory order in which he said, "The 
 country may never know with what patience labor and expense, you have 
 tugged away at every natural and artificial obstacle that an enterprising 
 and confident enemy could interpose. The terrific battles you have fought 
 may never be realized nor accredited, still acclaim is already greeting you 
 from the government and people, in view of the results you have helped 
 to gain and I believe that a sense of the magnitude of the achievments of 
 the last hundred days will not abate but increase with time and history. 
 1 )ur rejoicing is tempered as it must be, by the sorrow at the loss of com- 
 panions in arms. On every hillside and in every valley, throughout your 
 long and circuitous march, you have buried them. 1 never saw fiercer as- 
 saults than the enemy made, and I never saw troops more steady and self- 
 possessed in action than your divisions that were continually engaged. 
 For cheerfulness and obedience, rapidity of movement and confidence in 
 battle, the Army of the Tennessee can not be surpassed. And it will con- 
 tinue its fair record while it moves forward until the old flag float- in 
 ever} proud city of the rebellion." 
 
 i ieneral Hooker took offence because he was not given the command 
 of the Army of the Tennessee in preference to General Howard and asked 
 to be relieved from command of the Twentieth Corps. His request was 
 immediately granted and he went home and reported that Sherman's Army 
 had run up against a rock at Atlanta and the country should be prepared 
 to hear of disaster in that quarter." "General Thomas, McPherson, and 
 Schofield. had complained of General Hooker's disposition to "switch off" 
 and to leave wide gaps in his line and other breaches of discipline and pro- 
 prieties."

 Atlanta, Georgia, September 15th, 1864. 
 
 < >n March 14th, General Grant summoned me to Nashville, Tennessee, 
 for a conference. * We had a full and complete understanding of the 
 
 policy and plans for the ensuing campaign, covering a vast area of country, 
 my part of which extended from Chattanooga to Yicksburg. 
 
 On the 25th 1 began a tour of inspection. 1 had interviews with Gen- 
 erals McPherson, commanding the Army of the Tennessee, at Huntsville, 
 Thomas, at Chattanooga, Schofield at Knoxville. We fixed the first day of 
 May as the time when all things should be ready. I found the depots at 
 Nashville abundantly supplied and the railroads in very fair order, but the 
 impoverished condition of the inhabitants of East Tennessee had forced 
 the commanding officers of the posts to issue food to the people. 
 
 The prolific soil soon afforded early vegetables, and wagons hauled meat 
 and bread from Kentucky. 1 received from Lieutenant-General Grant, a 
 map with letter of instructions. Subsequently I received notice from him 
 that he would move from his camp at Culpepper, Virginia, on the 5th of 
 May, and that he wanted me to do the same from Chattanooga. 
 
 On the 27th of April, I put all the troops in motion toward Chattanooga. 
 * * The Army of the Tennessee failed to receive certain divisions that 
 were still kept on the Mississippi River. On the 1st of May the effective 
 strength of the several armies was about as follows: Army of the Cum- 
 berland, Major-General Thomas commanding, total sixty thousand sevon 
 hundred and seventy-three, guns one hundred and thirty ; Army of the 
 Tennessee, Major-General McPherson, commanding, total twenty ifour 
 thousand four hundred and sixty-five, guns ninety-six ; Army of the Ohio, 
 Major-General Schofield commanding, total thirteen thousand five hun- 
 dred and fifty-nine, guns twenty-eight ; grand aggregate of troops, ninety- 
 eight thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, guns two hundred and 
 fifty-four. 
 
 1 repaired to Chattanooga in person on the 2'hh of April. By May 
 6th, ( ieneral Thomas had grouped his army at and about Ringold, Gener- 
 al Schofield at and near Cleveland, and General McPherson at and near 
 Gordon's .Mills on the Chickamauga. The enemy lay at Dalton, holding 
 the Buzzard Roost pass, the line of Mill Creek to the north, and his line 
 of railroad back to Atlanta, superior to me in cavalry, with three corps of 
 infantry and artillery, viz : Hardee's, Hood's and Polk's, the whole com- 
 manded by ( ieneral Joe Johnston, of the Confederate Army. I estimated 
 the cavalry under Wheeler about ten thousand and the infantry and artillery, 
 fifty thousand. 
 
 May 6th all the armies moved forward. General Thomas on Tunnel! 
 Hill, a gravelly range of hills covering the mouth of the famous Buzzard 
 Roost Pass, through Rocky Face Ridge, General Schofield east of that 
 range, approaching Dalton from the north and General McPherson aiming 
 
General Sherman's Repori is.; 
 
 for Resaca, eighteen miles south of Dalton, through Snake Creek ( iap and 
 Sugar Valley. 
 
 To strike Dalton was impracticable. My purpose was that General 
 McPherson should reach the railroad at Resaca and destroy it to John- 
 ston 's rear, and then take up a strong defensive position near the mouih 
 of the Gap, and to operate on the flank of the enemy as he retreated. Gen- 
 eral McPherson moved rapidly with the Army oi the Tennessee, reached 
 the Gap on the 8th and passing through, completely surprised a brigade ol 
 cavalry that was coming to watch and defend it. He found Resaca too 
 strong to be carried by assault and accordingly fell back and took a strong 
 position near the east end of the Gap. I left the Fourth Corps with cav- 
 alry to watch the Buzzard Roost Road and moved the whole army to Re- 
 saca. The enemy had full view of our movements and a better and shorter 
 line to reach Resaca, to which place they retreated and occupied. 
 
 Sending a division to the Sixteenth Corps, Army of the Tennessee with 
 a pontoon train to Lay's Ferry with orders to cross the Oostanaula and to 
 attack the enemy's line at Calhoune, 1 gradually enveloped the enemy at 
 Resaca and pressed him so hard that he evacuated in the night of May 15th 
 and retreated. General McPherson got across Camp Creek near its mouth 
 and made a lodgment close up to the enemy's works, on hills that com- 
 manded the railroad and trestle bridge, the day previous. The enemy made 
 a short stand at Adairsville and Cassville and then retreated south of the 
 Etowah River by the Allatoona Pass. 
 
 On the 17th I had drawn General McPherson's Army from Woodland 
 to Kingston, and delayed till the 23rd of May to fill wagons and replenish 
 ammunition. General McPherson crossed the Connasene Creek near Kings- 
 ton, and moved from his position to the south of Dallas, via Van Wert, on 
 the 26th. On the 23rd. General Thomas was ordered to move on Dallas and 
 General Schofield to keep on Thomas' left via Huntsville, Gerrard's Cavalry 
 operating with McPherson. I knew the strength of Allatoona Pass. Ac- 
 cordingly the army was moved past the range by other, more devious, diffi- 
 cult, and natural roads that would admit of more equal terms with the 
 enemy, should he attempt to meet us. The ground was very difficult, being 
 densely wooded and composed of ridges and spur*- of flinty ground, very 
 barren of forage and difficult for roads. 
 
 On the 28th, General McPherson was on the point of closing to his 
 left on General Thomas, in front of New Hope Church, when suddenly the 
 enemy made a bold and daring assault on him at Dallas. ( )ur men had 
 erected good breastworks and gave the enemy terrible and bloody repulses. 
 
 I resolved to pass the enemy's right flank and place the whole army in 
 front of Allatoona Pass. On June 1st, we accomplished our real purpose 
 of turning the Allatoona Pass, and we had full possession with the railroad 
 down as far as Kenesaw Mountain near Marietta, holding in some force.

 valuable iron works and foundries. On the '<th we moved forward to Big 
 Shanty. Kenesaw, the bold and striking twin mountain lay before us with 
 a high range of chestnut hills tending off to the northeast, terminating in 
 
 another peak, called Brush Mountain. To our right was a smaller hill, 
 called I'ine Mountain, and beyond it in the distance. Lost Mountain. All 
 these although linked in a continuous chain, present a sharp, conical appear- 
 ance, prominent in the vast landscape that presents itself from anj of the 
 hill> that abound in that region. 
 
 Kenesaw Mountain, Lost Mountain and Pine Mountain form a triangle. 
 Pine Mountain, the apex and Kenesaw and Lost Mountain, the base, 
 covering perfectly the town of Marietta and the railroad back to the Chat- 
 tahoochee. On each of these peaks the enemy had his signal stations. The 
 summits were crowned with batteries and the spurs were alive with men 
 busy in felling trees, and digging pits, and preparing for a grand struggle. 
 The scene was enchanting, too beautiful to be disturbed by the harsh clamor 
 of war but the Chattahoochee lay beyond and I had to reach it. 
 
 General McPherson was moved forward toward Marietta, his right on 
 the railroad. The Confederate (ieneral Polk was killed on the 14th. Pine 
 Mountain was found abandoned on the 15th. (ieneral McPherson ad- 
 vanced his line, gaining substantial advantage on the left. I ordered an 
 assault on the center. 
 
 On the 17th the enemy abandoned Lost Mountain and the long line of 
 breastworks connecting it with Kenesaw Mountain. We continued to press 
 all points, skirmishing in dense forests and across most difficult ravines, 
 until we found him again strongly intrenched with Kenesaw as his salient 
 point. 
 
 During the time of our operations about Kenesaw, the weather was 
 villianously bad. the rain fell, almost continuously for three weeks, render- 
 ing our narrow wooded roads mere mud gullys. Our men daily worked 
 close to our intrenched foe. keeping up an incessant firing, galling to him. 
 General McPherson worked all the time to the south and east along the 
 Sand Town Road. On the 22nd the enemy sallied and attacked. On the 
 27th two assaults were made, one near Little Kenesaw Mountain, by General 
 McPherson, costing many valuable lives. On the night of July 27th, Gen- 
 eral McPherson commanded a movement by the right down to and 
 threatened Nick-o-Jack Creek and Turner's Ferry, across the Chattahoochee. 
 The effect was instantaneous. The next morning Kenesaw was abandoned, 
 and with the first dawn of day, I saw our skirmishers appear on the Moun- 
 tain top. General McPherson was instructed to cross Xick-o-Jack Creek 
 and attack the enemy in flank and rear. 
 
 Johnston had intrenched a strong tete-de-pont on the Chattahoochee 
 with an advanced intrenched line, across the road at Smyrna (.'amp Meeting 
 I iround. five miles below Marietta. ( )n the 4th of July we pushed a strong 
 skirmish line down the main road, capturing the entire line of the enemy's 
 pits, and made strong demonstration along Xick-o-Jack Creek and about 
 Turner's Ferry, the 27th and 39th Ohio Regiments by a bold charge, captur- 
 ing his main line of works, a line of unusual strength. This had the desired 
 effect and the next morning' the enemv was gone and our armv moved to

 the Chattahoochee River with General McPherson's right at the mouth 
 of Nick-o-Jack Creek. 
 
 1 transferred the Army of the Tennessee under General McPherson 
 from the extreme right to the left, at Kosswell on the Chattahootchee above 
 ( reneral Dodge'> Sixteenth Corps in the advance, followed by all McPher- 
 son's Army of the Tennessee. Atlanta was eight miles distant with its 
 rfiagazines, stores, arsenals, workshops, foundries and so forth. Its railroads 
 converged there from the four great cardinal points. 
 
 ( )n the 17th. General McPherson directed his course from Rosswell 
 straight against the Augusta Railroad at some point east of Decatur near 
 Stone Mountain, reaching the railroad seven miles east of Decatur on the 
 18th. then turning along the railroad into Decatur on the 19th. On the 20th 
 the armies closed in converging toward Atlanta. About four o'clock in the 
 afternoon, the enemy sallied from his works in force and fell in line of 
 bottle against our right center, on the Buck Head Road. 
 
 After a severe battle, the enemy was driven back to his intrenchments. 
 On the 21st we felt the enemy in his intrenched position which was found 
 to crown the heights, overlooking the comparatively open ground of Peach 
 Tree Creek, his right beyond the Augusta Road to the east, and his left well 
 toward Turner's Ferry on the Chattahootchee, at a general distance from 
 Atlanta of about four miles. On the morning of the 22nd to my surprise, 
 the whole line was abandoned. I thought the enemy had resolved to give 
 us Atlanta without further contest, but General Johnston, the Confederate 
 Commander, had been relieved and General Hood substituted. 
 
 Our advanced ranks swept across the well finished parapets of the 
 enemy and closed in upon Atlanta until we occupied a line in form of a 
 circle. There we again found him occupying in force a line of finished re- 
 doubts, which had been prepared for more than a year, covering all the 
 roads leading to Atlanta, and we found him also busy in connecting these 
 redoubts with curtains, strengthened by rifle trenches and abatis and chev- 
 aux-de-frise. 
 
 General McPherson who had advanced from Decatur, continued to fol- 
 by General Dodge on its right. But as the general advance of all the 
 low the railroad with the Fifteenth Corps commanded by ( ieneral Logan, 
 the Seventeenth, by General Blair, on its left, and the Sixteenth commanded 
 armies contracted the circle, the Sixteenth Corps, commanded by General 
 Dodge, was thrown out of the line by the Fifteenth, connecting on it> right 
 with General Schofield, near the Howard House. 
 
 General McPherson, the night before had gained a high hill to the 
 south and east of the railroad, where the Seventeenth Corps had, after a se- 
 vere fight, driven the enemy, and it gave him a most commanding position, 
 within easy view of the very heart of the city. He had thrown out working 
 parties to it and was making preparations to occupy it in strength with bat- 
 teries. The Sixteenth Corps, commanded by General Dodge, was ordered 
 from right to left to occupy this position, and make it a strong general left 
 flank. General Dodge was moving by a diagonal path or wagon road lead- 
 ing from the Decatur Road in the direction of General Blair's left flank.

 About ten o'clock in the morning, I was examining the appearance oi 
 
 the enemy's line opposite the distillery. There we attracted enough of the 
 enemy's artillery and musketry to satisfy me that the enemy was in Atlanta 
 in force. We had gone to a large dwelling close by, known as the Howard 
 House, where General McPherson joined me. He described the condition 
 of things on his flank and the disposition of his troops. I explained to him 
 that if we met serious resistance in Atlanta, as present appearances indicated, 
 instead of operation against it by the left, I would extend to the right, and 
 that I did not want him to gain much distance to the left. He then described 
 the hill occupied by General Legget's Division of General Blair's Seven- 
 teenth Corps, as essential to the occupation of any ground on the east and 
 south of the Augusta railroad on account of its commanding nature. 1 
 therefore ratified his disposition of troops and modified a previous order 
 I had already sent to him in writing to use General Dodge's Sixteenth 
 Corps, thrown somewhat in reserve by the closing up of our lines, to break 
 up the railroad, and I sanctioned its going as already ordered by General 
 McPherson, to his left, to hold and fortifv that position. 
 
 The General remained with me until near noon, when some reports 
 reached us that indicated a movement of the enemy on that (east) flank, 
 he mounted and rode away with his staff. ( ierrard's Cavalry had gone to 
 Covington on the Augusta Road to break the two important bridges across 
 the Yellow and Ulcofauhatchee Rivers, tributaries to the Ocumulgee. 
 General McPherson had left his wagon train at Decatur, under a guard of 
 three regiments, commanded by Colonel Sprague. Soon after General Mc- 
 Pherson had left me, I heard the sound of musketry on our left and rear, 
 at first mere pattering shots, but soon they grew in volume, accompanied 
 by artillery, and about the same time the sound of guns was heard in the 
 direction of Decatur. No doubt could be entertained of the enemy's plan 
 of action, which was to throw a superior force on our left flank, while he 
 held us with his forts in front. 
 
 I hastily transmitted orders to all points of our center and right to press 
 forward and give full employment to all the enemy in his lines. Not more 
 than half an hour after General McPherson had left me, viz : about 12:30 of 
 the 22nd, his Adjutant-General, Lieutenant-Colonel Clark, rode up and 
 reported that General McPherson was either dead or a prisoner, that he 
 had ridden from me to General Dodge's Column, and had sent off nearly 
 all his staff officers and orderlies on various errands and himself had passed 
 into a narrow path or road ( *over which the Twenty-seventh and Thirty- 
 ninth Ohio Infantry had passed a short time before, going into position) 
 that led to the left and rear of General (liles A. Smith's Division, which was 
 the extreme left of the Seventeenth Corps. A few minutes after he had 
 entered the woods, a sharp volley was heard in that direction, and his horse 
 had come out riderless having two wounds. 
 
 Instantly. I dispatched a staff officer to General Logan commanding the 
 Fifteenth Corps, that he must assume command of the Army of the Ten- 
 nessee and hold stubbornly the ground already chosen, especially the hill 
 gained by General Legget, the night before. Already the whole line was 
 engaged in battle. Hardee's Confederate troops had sallied from Atlanta

 and by a wide circuit to the east had struck General I Hair's (Seventeenth 
 Corps) left, and Dodge's (Sixteenth Corps with Fuller's Brigade) in 
 motion. The Seventeenth Corps line along the old line of rebel trenches 
 was fashioned to right outward. A space of wooded ground of almost 
 half a mile intervened between the columns of General Dodge's (Sixteenth 
 Corps I and General Blair's (Seventeenth Corps) through which the enemy 
 had poured. The last order ever given by ( General McPherson was to hurry 
 a brigade of the Fifteenth Corps across from the railroad to fill this gap. 
 
 While Hardee attacked in flank, Stewart's Corps was to attack in 
 front directly out of the main works, but fortunately, their attacks were 
 not simultaneous. The enemy swept across the hill opposite the Seventeenth 
 Corps which our men were then fortifying, and captured a pioneer company 
 its tools, and almost the entire working party, and bore down on our left 
 until he encountered General Giles A. Smith's Division of the Seventeenth 
 Corps, which was somewhat "in air," and forced to fight first from one 
 side of the rifle parapets and then from the other, gradually withdrawing 
 regiment by regiment so as to form a flank to ( ieneral Legget's Division, 
 which held the apex of the hill, which was the only point deemed essential 
 to our plan. 
 
 General Dodge's two divisions had caught and held well in check the 
 enemy's right and punished him severely, capturing many prisoners. Gen- 
 eral Giles A. Smith had gradually given up the extremity of his line and 
 formed a new one, whose right connected with General Legget and his left 
 refused, facing the south-east. < >n this ground and in this order the men 
 fought well and desperately for nearly four hours cheeking and repulsing 
 the enemy's attacks. In the meantime, Wheeler's Cavalry, our cavalry 
 being absent, had reached Decatur and attempted to capture the wagon 
 trains, but Colonel (now General) Sprague covered them with great skill 
 and success, sending them back from Decatur until every wagon was safe. 
 
 The enemy had taken a complete battery of six guns with its horses 
 (.Murray's) of the regular army, as it was moving along unsupported and 
 unapprehensive of danger in a narrow, wooded road in that unguarded 
 space between the head of General Dodge's Column and the line of battle 
 on the ridge above, but most of the men escaped in the bushes. 
 
 About four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a lull, during which 
 the enemy felt forward and assailed the pickets that had been thrown for- 
 ward in front of the Fifteenth Corps. A part of the line fell back but soon 
 regained all its lost ground. Thus terminated the battle of July 22nd, which 
 cost us three thousand seven hundred and twenty-two killed, wounded, and 
 prisi mers. 
 
 McPherson's body was recovered in the heat of the battle and sent to 
 Marietta and his northern home. He was a noble youth, of striking 
 personal appearance, of the highest professional capacity, and a heart 
 abounding with kindness that drew to him the affections of all men. His 
 sudden death devolved the command of the Army of the Tennessee on 
 General Logan, who nobly sustained his reputation and that of his veteran 
 armv and avenged the death of his comrade and commander.

 No doubt the enemy sustained an aggregate loss of fully 8000 men. 
 
 The battle of July 22nd usually called the battle of Atlanta extended 
 from tlie Howard House to General Giles A. Smith's position about a mile 
 beyond the Augusta Railroad, and then back toward Decatur, the whole 
 extent of ground being fully seven miles. In part, the ground was clear 
 and in part densely wooded. I rode over it the next day and it bore the 
 marks of a bloody conflict. The enemy had retired during the night inside 
 of Atlanta and we remained masters of the situation outside. I purposely- 
 allowed the Army of the Tennessee to fight this battle almost unaided. save 
 by the demonstrations on the part of Generals Schofield and Thomas against 
 the fortified lines to their immediate fronts because T knew that the attack- 
 ing force could be only a part of Hood's Army, although a large part of his 
 best troops, and that if any assistance was rendered by either of the armies. 
 the \rmy of the Tennessee would be jealous. Xobly did they do their work 
 that day, and terrible was the slaughter done to our enemy, though at a 
 sad cost to ourselves. 
 
 Our cavalry destroyed railroad bridges, trains of cars, 2000 bales ot 
 cotton, depots of stores and ammunition. Having crippled the Augusta 
 Railroad, I then addressed myself to the task of reaching the Macon Road, 
 over which of necessity came the stores and ammunition, that alone main- 
 tained the rebel army in Atlanta. T ordered the Army of the Tennessee to 
 vacate its line, and to shift its right below Proctor's Creek, for a blow at 
 the Macon Road, simultaneous with the movement of the Army of the Ten- 
 nessee toward East Point. 
 
 The cavalry under General Stoneman, Gerrard. McCook and. Harrison 
 moved partly by the left around Atlanta to McDonough. and partly by the 
 right on Favetteville. Stoneman asking to be allowed to continue and then 
 proceed to Macon and Andersonville and release our prisoners of war con- 
 fined at those points ; who were being so harshly treated. 
 
 The Army of the Tennessee drew out of its lines near the Decatur 
 Road during the night of July 26th and on the 27th moved behind the rest 
 of the army to Proctor's Creek and south to prolong our line due south and 
 facing east, (hi that day, Major-General Howard assumed command of 
 the Army of the Tennessee and had the general supervision of the move- 
 ment, which was made en-echelon. General Dodge's Corps (Sixteenth) on 
 the left nearest the enemy, the Seventeenth next to come up on its right, and 
 the Fifteenth Corps next on its right and refused as a flank, the whole to 
 gain as much ground due south from the flank already established at Proc- 
 tor's Creek, as was consistent with a proper strength. 
 
 General Dodge's men got into line in the evening of the 27th. General 
 Hlair came into line on his right early on the morning of the 28th his right 
 reaching Ezra Church, near Bell's Ferry Road. Here the Fifteenth Corps 
 ( Logan's) joined on and refused along a ridge well wooded, which par- 
 tially commanded a view over the same fields. 
 
 About ten o'clock in the morning, all the army was in position and busy 
 throwing up the accustomed pile of rail- and logs which after a while

 assumed the form of a parapet. The skill and rapidity with which our men 
 constructed these was wonderful, and was something new in the art of war. 
 
 About this time I approached Ezra Church. There was considerable 
 artillery firing and I heard heavy musketry firing on the right. The enemy 
 had come out of Atlanta by the Bell's Ferry Road, and formed his masses 
 in the open field, behind a swell of ground, and after the artillery firing, ad- 
 vanced in parallel lines directly against the Fifteenth Corps, expecting to 
 catch that flank "in air." His advance was magnificent but founded on an 
 error that cost him sadly. His ranks broke and fled. They rallied again 
 and again as often as six times at some points. 
 
 About four o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy disappeared, leaving six 
 hundred and forty-two dead. Their loss was five thousand. General Logan 
 drew brigades from the Sixteenth Corps during the battle to assist. Our 
 loss was six hundred men, killed and wounded. 
 
 This affair terminated all attempts of the enemy to check our extension 
 by the flank and he remained on the defensive. On the 1st of August, the 
 rest of the army moved taking a line below Utoy Creek. Schofield moved 
 to East Point. General Hooker resigned. The Twentieth Corps was com- 
 manded by Williams next, then Slocum. 
 
 From the 2nd to the 5th we extended to the right. Stanley succeeded 
 Howard to command the Fourth Corps. On August 18th. a movement was 
 made by right flank to West Point Railroad, near Fairburn, afterward to 
 Macon Road near Jonesborough. On the night of the 26th. the army of 
 the Tennessee moved by a circuit well toward Sand Town across Camp 
 Creek. The movement brought them on the West Point Railroad above 
 Fairburn. The railroad was destroyed for twenty miles. 
 
 The whole army moved the next day. the Army of the Tennessee on the 
 right toward Jonesborough. The several columns moved on the 29th. The 
 Army of the Tennessee, having the outer circle, had a greater distance to 
 move. They encountered cavalry which they drove rapidly to Shoal Creek, 
 where the enemy had artillery. Howard started them again, keeping them 
 moving, passed the Renfroe Place, on the Decatur Road, and kept on 
 toward Jonesborough. saved the bridge across Flint River, and did not halt 
 until darkness compelled him. within half a mile of Jonesborough. 
 
 On August 31st in the presence of a heavy force of the enemy he 
 deployed the Fifteenth Corps and disposed the Sixteenth and Seventeenth 
 on its flanks. The men covered their front with parapets and prepared to 
 act offensively. During the 31st the enemy came out of his works, and 
 attacked General Howard with Lee's and Hardee's Corp-, and after a con- 
 tent of over two hours, withdrew leaving over four hundred dead on the 
 ground. ( )rder- were given for all the army to turn on Jonesborough. 
 
 On September 1st. heavy explosions were heard at Atlanta, about two 
 o'clock at night, twenty miles distant. At daybreak, the enemy had gone 
 from his lines at Jonesborough. I ordered a general pursuit south. General 
 Howard mi the right. We overtook the enemy again at Lovejoy Station in 
 a strong intrenched position, with hi- flank- well protected behind a branch 
 of Walnut Creek, a confluent of Flint River to his left. We pushed close

 up. Rumors arrived that Atlanta had been abandoned during the night of 
 September 1st. 
 
 1 concluded it was idle to pursue the enemy through that wooded 
 country with a view to his capture. On the 5th. we drew back to Jones- 
 borough. On the 7th arrived at Rough and Read}'. The Army of the 
 Cumberland was camped around Atlanta, Army of the Tennessee about East 
 Point, and the Army of the Ohio at Decatur. 
 
 The health of the troops was remarkably good. This was noteworthy 
 when the severe labor and privations endured by most of the army during 
 the autumn and part of the winter were taken into consideration. For more 
 than four months on short rations, hut poorly housed and badly clothed, 
 with no appreciable variation in diet, scurvy naturally prevailed to some 
 extent in most of the regiments. The symptoms were much abated by the 
 abundant supply of blackberries and green corn which the men obtained 
 on their march. The numerical force of the army was materially reduced 
 at the very commencement of operations by the necessity of getting rid of 
 a large number of worthless recruits and substitutes that had been sent to 
 the army during the winter. 
 
 Severe fighting occurred almost daily for four months. The recovery 
 from wounds was rapid and favorable, and the number returned to duty 
 was greater than usual. The wounded were brought from the field quickly 
 and carefully.

 St. Louis, Missouri, November 25th., 1864. 
 
 I have the honor herewith to submit my report of the operations of 
 this command during the campaign in Georgia, from its commencement up 
 to and including August 19th, at which time 1 was compelled, on account of 
 wounds that day received, to relinquish the command. 
 
 ( »n the 2' 'th of April, 1864, the command consisting of the Second and 
 Fourth Divisions iwhich included Fuller's First and Sprague's Second Bri 
 gades ) and First Alabama Cavalry, Sixteenth Army Corps (excepting the 
 Third Brigade, which was left at Decatur. Alabama) moved out from De- 
 catur, Pulaski, Tennessee and Athens, Alabama, with orders to concentrate 
 at lluntsville, Alabama. From Huntsville, on May 2nd, the command 
 moved along the main road toward Stevenson. Alabama, until May 4th. 
 when the command embarked on cars for Chattanooga, Tennessee; the Sec- 
 ond Division from Larkensville, the Fourth Division from Woodville, and 
 debarked at Chattanooga on the 5th and immediatelj marched with three 
 days' rations in haversacks, out on the Rossville Road. The Second Di- 
 vision bivouacked at (.onion'. Mills on Chickamauga Greek, and the Fourth 
 Division at Rossville. The command moved May 7th, Fourth Division in

 advance, on the Tavern Road, via Rock Spring Creek and bivouacked near 
 Gordon's Gap, on Little Chickamauga Creek. 
 
 The Second Brigade, Fourth Division, Colonel (now Brigadier-Gen- 
 eral) J. W. Sprague, commanding, was pushed forward to seize and hold 
 Ship's Gap. which was accomplished with slight skirmishing, at nine o'clock 
 in the evening. On May 8th. the command moved by way of Ship's Gap 
 and Villanow, to Snake Creek Gap which was occupied and the command 
 bivouacked therein. The Oth Illinois and 39th Iowa Mounted Infantry 
 pushed forward to hold the eastern outlet to Sugar Creek Valley. At day- 
 light in the morning of May 8th the advance drove and routed the enemy, 
 and pressed forward to gain the Calhoun and Dalton Roads, one mile w esl 
 of Resaca. to hold until the 15th Corps should arrive. We skirmished 
 heavilv the entire distance. The enemy was discovered in line of battle. 
 on Bald Hill about three-quarters of a mile west of Resaca. and in his 
 works at Resaca. I immediately took possession of Raid Hill and held it. 
 Eighteen mounted men reconnoitered the Dalton Road to find an approach 
 to the railroad. They struck the railroad two miles south of Tilton. 
 
 At four o'clock in the afternoon. I advanced my left (the Fourth Di- 
 vision) to the railroad north of Resaca, holding Bald Hill with the Second 
 Division. General Yeatch was ordered to move Fuller's First P.rigade and 
 Sprague's Second of his Fourth Division, massed in close columns by Di- 
 visions, and forming promptly, he moved rapidly across the west fork of 
 Mill Creek, in plain view of Resaca. The enemy observing the movement 
 opened a heavy fire from his batteries upon the column, and also with rapid 
 musketrv, doing, however, but little execution. 
 
 After having moved the column across the open field, I was ordered 
 by General McPherson to look well to my right, as the enemy was massing 
 and pressing forward in that direction. General Fuller led the advance of 
 the column and just as he was gaining cover of the woods on the east side 
 of Mill Creek. I received notice that General Sprague had been halted. In- 
 order of General McPherson to support the left of the Second Division 
 and hold the space between the Second and Fourth Divisions. 
 
 The skirmishers were within a short distance of the railroad when the 
 enemy opened fire upon the brigade with a regiment of infantry and a bat- 
 tery in position, directly off our right. I immediately sent orders to Gen- 
 eral Fuller to charge the battery, and swing still further to the north, un- 
 der cover of the timber. Before the order was executed. I received orders 
 from General McPherson to withdraw the brigade and close upon General 
 Sprague who was formed on the left of the Second Division. This had to 
 be done in the view of the enemy, whose batteries had point-blank range, 
 across the open fields upon the column. General Fuller deployed his bri- 
 gade under cover of the timber and withdrawing by regiments across the 
 open fields, formed in position on the west side of Mill Creek. 
 
 It was now sunset, and I received orders to withdraw the command 
 and return to Snake Creek Gap. We bivouacked at twelve o'clock at night 
 at the eastern outlet of the Gap. The loss was 29 killed and wounded. 
 \bout thirty prisoners were taken.

 My transportation had not yet reached me. Since leaving Chattanooga, 
 I had only seventeen wagons, and I had marched out in the morning with- 
 out rations, most of the command having been without fond since the da) 
 before at noon. Thus a march of sixteen miles was made by the command. 
 the men and animals whereof had had nothing to eat for a day and a half. 
 Supplies came forward to Snake Creek Gap till May 13th. when the com- 
 mand moved with the army. The Fourth Division being in advance, formed 
 on the right of the Fifteenth Corps and advanced to Mill Creek, fronting 
 Resaca, with the right resting on the < lostanaula River. 
 
 During the afternoon of May 14th. the line of hills east of Mill Creek 
 and directly in front of Resaca were charged and carried. General Spra- 
 gue's Second Brigade, Fourth Division participated in the charge, receiv- 
 ing from General Wood, great credit for the gallant and efficient manner 
 in which it aided in carrying and holding the lines. In the charge, the 
 thirty-ninth Ohio of the First Brigade, Fourth Division, was ordered to 
 protect the exposed right of the Fifteenth Corps, and did its work most 
 nobly, capturing the enemy's skirmish line, including three commissioned 
 officers, and held the position taken, which during the night was intrenched. 
 
 tin the 15th. the First I'.rigade, Second Division crossed the Oostan- 
 aula. On May 16th at nine o'clock in the morning, 1 moved the Fourth 
 Division to Lay's Ferry, crossed the Oostanaula River and pushed the en- 
 tire command forward, on the road to Adairsville Station, forming on the 
 right of Colonel Rice's Brigade. The enemy charged down in heavy force, 
 but was defeated and withdrew. The loss was seventy killed. 
 
 ( )n May 17th. at seven o'clock in the evening, the command moved out 
 toward Kingston, via McGuire's, Adairsville and Woodland Roads, and 
 after two nights and a dav and half's march, reached Kingston where trans- 
 portation was reduced, and twenty days short rations for men and animals 
 was collected 
 
 ( >n May 23rd, after three days and two nights of tedious march, we 
 reached Little Pumpkin Vine Creek, ten miles south of Dallas, near Moody's 
 Mills. The troops had hardly bivouacked, when daylight having arrived, 
 the advance was moved on a cross road, striking the main Dallas Road at 
 Pumpkin Vine Creek. A crossing was effected, the command formed in 
 line, advanced upon, and after a slight skirmish, entered Dallas. The com- 
 mand bivouacked half a mile east of the town, facing a high range of hills. 
 occupied by the enemy. At daylight on the 27th, the enemy pressed for- 
 ward in heavy force. The Fourth Division was formed on the left con- 
 necting on the right of General Jeff C. Davis' Division of the Fourteenth 
 Corps. Our lines were advanced driving the enemy into his works and our 
 line intrenching itself upon the new ground taken, batteries were placed in 
 position and a strong skirmish line thrown forward. Heavy skirmishing- 
 was kept up constantly till four o'clock in the afternoon of the following 
 day, May 28th. when the enemy massed in heavy columns, under cover of 
 the timber, made a sudden assault on our lines. This first assault was 
 promptly repulsed, but rallying and reforming his lines, he again, with in- 
 creased force and impetuosity, charged and contested strongly for the 
 possession of the works, many of his dead and wounded being left within 
 tift\ yards of our lines, some indeed on the works. Three officers and a 
 
General Dodge's Report. 193 
 
 few enlisted men succeeded in getting inside our works. They were either 
 killed instantly or captured. This assault although desperate and deter- 
 mined, was promptly and gallantly met and repulsed. 
 
 On May 2<>th, at ten o'clock, the enemy (having evidently either sus- 
 pected or discovered our movement for withdrawing the army in a move- 
 ment to the left, to a position in the vicinity of New Hope Church) in 
 heavy columns assaulted my line, making five separate and determined at- 
 tacks, and although in each promptly repulsed, he kept up a continuous and 
 heavy musketry fire along the entire front during the night, thereby necessi- 
 tating a postponement of the movement for the withdrawal of the army. 
 
 In the different day and night attacks made by the enemy in front of 
 Dallas, he suffered great loss. At no time did he move our line one inch. 
 In every instance, he was speedily and severely punished, and left his dead 
 and wounded in our possession. 
 
 On May 31st, a portion of the Fourth Division and the Second Brigade 
 of the Second Division, Colonel August Mersy, commanding, advanced, 
 and with slight loss, carried one line of the enemy's works. At seven o'clock 
 of the morning of June 1st, the movement for withdrawing the army was 
 commenced. A brigade was sent in advance to the left to occupy some 
 new works on the Allatoona Road, built to cover the withdrawal of the 
 army. The Fourth Division moved to a position near Owen's Mills, cover- 
 ing the road to VanWert, Burnt Hickory and Kingston, and stronglv in- 
 trenched. 
 
 On the 2nd of June, the enemy attacked Fuller's and Sprague's Bri- 
 gades of the Fourth Division at Big Pumpkin Vine Creek and was speedily 
 repulsed. On June 3rd, I contracted my lines, the Fourth Division moving 
 to the left and east of Big Pumpkin Vine Creek with only slight skirmishes 
 with the enemy's pickets. June 5th, the movement began and was com- 
 pleted on June 6th. The command bivouacked southwest of Ackworth in 
 the evening. Quartermaster stores and supply of rations were brought up, 
 the sick and wounded were sent to the rear. 
 
 On June 10th, the command moved as rear guard to the army, and 
 on the following day, the Fourth Division went into position near Big 
 Shanty, its right resting on the railroad near Moon's Siding, its left con- 
 necting with the Fifteenth Army Corps. The line was intrenched and bat- 
 teries placed in position. This position was held with constant heavy skir- 
 mishing, until June 18th, when the first line of the enemy's rifle pits in my 
 front were charged and taken with about fifty prisoners, my loss not ex- 
 ceeding one hundred. The men of the First and Second Brigade displayed 
 great gallantry. 
 
 On June 19th. at daylight, the enemy evacuated his works on my front. 
 The Fourth Division by prompt movement, pressed him closely on the 
 Burnt Hickory and Marietta Roads. The enemy's new line was soon de- 
 veloped on my front in a strong position on the crest of Kennesaw Moun- 
 tain, which he had previously fortified. The First and Second Brigades of 
 the Fourth Division, were moved into position facing, and close upon the 
 enemy's works, connecting on the right with the Fourteenth Army Corps, 
 and on the left with the Fifteenth Army Corps. The Second Division was 
 held in reserve at Big Shanty. 
 
L94 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 On June 22nd, the Fourth Division and the entire line were advanced 
 to within twenty-seven hundred feet of the enemy's batteries. Strong works 
 were built at once and batteries placed in good position. On June 27tb, in 
 pursuance of general orders for a movement along the line of the armies, 
 the Fourth Division advanced upon the works at the top of Kennesaw 
 Mountain. 
 
 The natural defences and obstructions encountered rendered the ascent 
 of the mountain very slow and difficult, but the men advanced under a 
 galling fire until the main line of the enemy's force was reached, which 
 however, was found too strong to carry, and the object of the movement 
 which was to keep the enemy from weakening his force in my front, to 
 throw against the main charging column on my right, being successfully 
 accomplished, it was deemed inexpedient to attempt further to carry the 
 works. The Sixty-Fourth Illinois deserves special mention for its action 
 ibis day. It secured and held a position so close to the enemy's main line 
 of works, on the top of the mountain, that the enemy was obliged to keep 
 close inside. 
 
 The Sixty-fourth Illinois was relieved from this position by the 27th 
 and 39th Ohio, who held it until July 3rd, when it was discovered that the 
 enemy had evacuated and that our skirmishers had taken possession of the 
 mountain and works, taking some prisoners. During the day the Fourth 
 Division moved to the right and bivouacked on Xick-o-Tack Creek, near 
 Ruff's Mills. 
 
 Early in the morning of July 4th, the Fourth Division moved out mi 
 the Ruff'> Mills Station Road, and encountered the enemy, pressed him 
 back for a distance of two miles, and until he was developed in strong in- 
 trenchments in heavy force. Prisoners taken showed that Hood's entire 
 Corps was in my front. The Second Division was brought up and placed 
 in position on the right of .the Fourth Division and the command proceeded 
 to develope fully the enemy's position. The 43rd and 63rd Ohio and 64th 
 Illinois of the Fourth Division were placed as support to a charging column 
 consisting of the 27th and 39th Ohio Infantry of the Fourth Division, 
 under command of Colonel E. F. Noyes. At six o'clock in the evening they 
 gallantly charged and carried the enemy's line of works, capturing over 
 one hundred prisoners. In this charge my loss was about one hundred and 
 forty, killed and wounded. Among the latter was Colonel E. F. Noyes who 
 lost a leg, a most gallant and efficient officer, beloved and admired by all. 
 His loss to the Division was and still is deeply felt and deplored. The line 
 charged was soon abandoned by the enemy along its entire length, and he 
 immediately commenced bis retreat to the Chattahootchee. 
 
 July 5th the command moved and bivouacked on the Sandtown Road. 
 July 7th the Fourth Division moved to the forks of Howell's and Green's 
 Ferry Roads, and placed skirmishers forward to the banks of the Chatta- 
 hootchee River, where the batteries opened fire upon the enemy's position 
 on the south side of the River. On July 9th the command moved out on the 
 Sandtown Road and the .Marietta Road, via Marietta en route to Rn-v 
 well, and having marched until ten o'clock at night, bivouacked one mile 
 east of Marietta. The command resumed its march at three o'clock in the 
 morning. The infantry and one battery were pushed across (fording) the 
 
General Dodge's Report. 195 
 
 Chattahootchee River, and occupied the works held by General Newton's 
 Division of the Fourth Army Corps, which I relieved. A strong tete-de-pont 
 was thrown up to cover the crossing, a foot bridge, seven hundred and ten 
 feet long and fourteen feet high was built. The march from Sandtown to 
 Rosswell, thirty-one miles, and the crossing of the Chattahootchee was ac- 
 complished in less than two days under a scorching, burning sun, and was 
 certainly one of the most laborious undertakings of the campaign, a most 
 severe test of the endurance, patience and spirit of the men. 
 
 General Sherman had urged celerity, and the alacrity and spirit with 
 which the command met the emergency, and the skill and cheerful industry 
 displayed by the men in building the bridge over which the entire army of 
 the Tennesee crossed with all its trains, entitles them to much credit, and 
 proves that our gallant soldiers are equal to any and every emergency. 
 
 On the morning of July 17th, the command moved out on a road lead- 
 ing to Old Cross Keys, Decatur being the objective point. The Fourth 
 Division, Brigadier-General J. \Y. Fuller commanding, was brought for- 
 ward, deployed and drove the enemy beyond Cross Keys, taking and holding 
 a position on the south side of the creek. Communication was established 
 on the right with the Twenty-third Army Corps, and on the left with the 
 Seventeenth Army Corps. 
 
 At six o'clock in the morning of July 18th, the command moved 
 directly across the country, crossing the Peach Tree Road, and striking the 
 old Rosswell and Decatur Road, which it took, moving toward Decatur. 
 The advance found the enemy in considerable force at Cressey's Branch, 
 and drove him across Little Peach Tree Creek, on which stream the com- 
 mand bivouacked that night. On July 19th, the command moved forward 
 on the old Decatur Road. Here one of my scouts joined me, bringing the 
 intelligence of the supersedure of Johnson by Hood in command of the 
 Confederate Army, which information was immediately communicatel to 
 Generals Sherman and McPherson. The Twenty-third Corps, having the 
 Decatur Road. I ordered a road cut parallel to it, upon which my command 
 moved and having crossed Peach Tree Creek proper, struck the enemy in 
 force in front of Decatur, drove him steadily back, and entered the town. 
 General Fuller placed his Fourth Division in position on a range of hills 
 south of, and commanding the town. As this Division advanced through 
 the town, the enemy opened fire upon it with artillery posted on a range 
 of hills west of the town. General Fuller threw his Division promptly into 
 line, batteries were brought into action, and opening fire upon, silenced the 
 enemy's artillery. The line then advanced and occupied the range of hills 
 south and west of town. 
 
 At one o'clock in the afternoon of July 20th, the command moved for- 
 ward on the Decatur and Atlanta Road and intrenched during the night 
 near the Three Mile House. The Second Brigade, Fourth Division, General 
 J. \Y. Spraj, r ue, commanding, was ordered back to Decatur to relieve General 
 Gerrard's Cavalry, and guard the trains of the army. 
 
 On the morning of July 21st, General Fuller moved the First Brigade 
 of his Division into position as a reserve to the Seventeenth Army Corps. 
 Light Battery F, Second U. S. Artillery, attached to the Fourth Division,

 Corps. The Second Division moved and formed on the right of the Twenty- 
 third Army Corps. 
 
 At four o'clock in the morning, the enemy had disappeared from our 
 Front. Our .skirmish line was pushed forward and reported the enemy in 
 force in works, surrounding Atlanta. I was ordered to move and place 
 the First Brigade, Fourth Division in line on the left of the new position 
 taken up by the Seventeenth Corps, the Second Division in reserve. At an 
 early hour I rode with General McPherson to the front, the sudden evacua- 
 tion of the enemy caused surprise and serious concern, and the General re- 
 quested me to repair to the left, get my troops on the ground, examine the 
 ground in front on the left of the Seventeenth Army Corps. Before orders 
 to intrench by Fuller's Fourth Division could be executed, the command 
 was attacked by the enemy in heavy force. 
 
 On the morning of the 22nd, my troops were disposed as follows: 
 The Second Division was in position on the right of the Army of the Ten- 
 nessee, with one Brigade in reserve. The First I'.rigade of the Fourth Divi- 
 sion was in reserve near the left of the army, and in rear of the center of 
 the Seventeenth Army Corps, being held as a reserve to the left flank of 
 the army. The Second Brigade of the Fourth Division, General J. W. 
 Sprague commanding, was posted at Decatur, to hold that place and cover 
 our trains in the absence of the cavalry. At daylight the pickets in front 
 discovered the enemy had evacuated his works. They pushed on, finding 
 the enemy in his works surrounding Atlanta. I received orders to move the 
 Second Division from the right to the extreme left of the army, and mass 
 it in the rear of the new position to be selected for the Seventeenth Army 
 Corps, and to place one brigade of the Fourth Division in position on the 
 left of this new position. The Second Division halted about half a mile 
 south of the railroad on the road running parallel to and three-quarters of 
 a mile in the rear of the position of the Seventeenth Army Corps. I went 
 in person to select a position for the First Brigade of the Fourth Division. 
 
 The Seventeenth Army Corps was not to move until night. About 
 twelve o'clock at noon, while at General Fuller's headquarters, straggling 
 shots were heard in the rear of the left of the Seventeenth Corps, and re- 
 ports came in that the enemy was in force in our rear. Our skirmishers in 
 that direction immediately developed the enemy in considerable force in the 
 timber in the rear of the Seventeenth Corps. General Fuller ordered out 
 his First Brigade and went into position on the right of the Second Division 
 facing east and south. Two batteries, H of the First Missouri, and the 
 Fourteenth Ohio Battery, were posted in the center of the Second Division. 
 My whole line immediately became hotly engaged, and the fact of the 
 enemy's occupying the timber between me and the Seventeenth Army Corps, 
 was clearly demonstrated. I saw that I could not prolong my line to con- 
 nect with the Seventeenth Army Corps, a long line of timber lying between 
 my right and its line of battle that faced west. I notified Giles A. Smith, 
 commanding a Division of the Seventeenth Army Corps, requesting him to 
 refuse his left in order to form connection with my right. 
 
 The enemy was pressing in column still beyond my right and far down 
 the line of the Seventeenth Corps and in its rear. My staff officer found 
 him hotly engaged and then unable to connect. The enemy pressed for- 
 
General Dodge's Report. 197 
 
 ward in my front and left, exposing the flank of his center column. De- 
 tecting this, I at once pushed forward the 12th Illinois and 81st Ohio, which 
 caught the enemy in flank. Our fire in front and flank was so destructive 
 that he soon gave way. A charge was ordered, and his two columns in 
 my front and left were broken and driven back to the timber. The enemy, 
 pressing past my right in the timber had not ere this been fully developed. 
 General Fuller's advance soon drew a heavy fire on his right flank. He 
 promptly drew back the regiments. 27th and 39th, that had charged, changed 
 front to the rear under a galling fire, and moved on the enemy in the 
 timber, clearing that point. The fighting in rear of my right continued 
 heavy, and I immediately made preparations to connect as near as possible 
 with the Seventeenth Corps, so as to bring the enemy entirely in front. As- 
 certaining where the left of the Seventeenth Corps rested, it having refused 
 its line in order to check the column passing in it> rear, my right was swung 
 around using the left as a pivot, until my command occupied a line facing 
 a little west of south and a short distance to the rear of my first line. 
 Major-General McPherson fell on the right of my line about one hour after 
 the commencement of the battle, but it was not known to me till some 
 time after. I sent a staff officer to General Logan reporting the gap be- 
 tween me and the Seventeenth Corps and the exposed condition of my left, 
 requesting that troops be sent there. Colonel Martin's Brigade of the Fif- 
 teenth Corps was sent, arriving just as the enemy again made his appear- 
 ance on my extreme left, but his demonstration was weak and soon re- 
 pulsed. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy made a demonstration 
 on my extreme left, but only with artillery. 
 
 General Sprague, who had with him three small regiments and six 
 guns, the Chicago Board of Trade Battery and one section of C Battery. 
 First Michigan Artillery, was attacked by overwhelming numbers. Two 
 Divisions of Wheeler's Cavalry, dismounted poured down upon him from 
 three directions. Colonel Sprague concentrated his command, and, by de- 
 termined, unyielding fighting, held the enemy in check and gained a posi- 
 tion north of the town, which he was able to hold, by so doing he saved the 
 trains of the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Corps, then on the road 
 from Rosswell to the commands. 
 
 Great credit is due to General Sprague and his brigade for their con- 
 duct on this occasion. We were no doubt saved a serious disaster by his 
 cool judgment and excellent dispositions. For his uniform good conduct 
 during the campaign and especially for his gallant service in this action, he 
 was immediately promoted to Brigadier-General of Volunteers. 
 
 The 9th Illinois Infantry (mounted) and 43rd Ohio Infantry joined 
 him during the engagement, and promptly went into action. Light Battery 
 F, Second U. S. Artillery, belonging to the Fourth Division, had reported 
 the day before to the Seventeenth Army Corps, and was placed in position 
 on the front line, soon after it was ordered to return and take a position 
 on the right of my line, covering as well as possible the space between the 
 Sixteenth and Seventeenth Corps. 
 
 The Battery was on its way to comply to the order when the enemy 
 in pressing through' the gap, struck it and captured the guns, most of the 
 men escaping. The Battery had no opportunity to save itself, being in the 
 
198 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 timber in the rear of the Seventeenth Corps, and in a place which under 
 most circumstances would be considered perfectly safe. 
 
 I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of both officers and men 
 during the engagement. It was a critical moment for our army, and any 
 failure on our part to have checked the advance of the enemy in our rear 
 would have been fatal. With three Brigades disposed in single line, some 
 forty-five hundred men, over one-half of Hardee's Army Corps, viz ; Walk- 
 er's, Bates' and a portion of Cleburne's Divisions, was met and driven back 
 with great slaughter, leaving their dead and severely wounded on the field. 
 
 During the engagement on my front, prisoners were taken from forty- 
 nine different regiments, eight brigades, and three divisions. Three hundred 
 and fifty-one prisoners were captured. Eight battle flags and some thirteen 
 hundred muskets were captured and turned over. Four hundred of the 
 enemy's dead were buried in my front. 
 
 General Fuller had a critical position and handled his command with 
 great skill and good judgment. Every man in the ranks knew his business. 
 Division and Brigade Commanders, Fuller, Rice, Mersey, Morril and 
 Sprague, were wherever duty demanded, and by their personal presence and 
 exertions, gave their officers and men that advice and encouragement that 
 enabled them to so well and bravely hold their lines. 
 
 Battery H, First Missouri and the Fourteenth Ohio Battery, massed 
 in the center of the Second Division, by holding fast and working their 
 guns, even when the enemy was one hundred and fifty feet distant, and 
 pouring upon them a terrible fire, aided effectively in driving back his ad- 
 vancing columns, more especially Bates' Division, upon which they had a 
 direct and point blank range. In our victory, all the joy and gladness that 
 would otherwise have been experienced was lost to us in the fall of our 
 brave and efficient Commander. General James B. McPherson's name and 
 memory are imperishable. 
 
 The fortunate position of the command, and the prompt manner in 
 which it formed and received the attacks, the cool, stubborn bravery with 
 which it met and hurled back, and broke and scattered the columns of an 
 enemy outnumbering it at least three to one, no doubt prevented a serious 
 disaster to the Army of the Tennessee, if not to the entire army. 
 
 During the 24th of July, Sprague's Brigade was employed assisting 
 
 \\ I's Division, Fifteenth Army Corps, in destroying a railroad between 
 
 Decatur and Atlanta. The caissons of Light Battery F of the Second U. S. 
 Artillery were discovered between our own and the enemy'-- skirmish lines. 
 and were taken possession of . On the 25th, Sprague's Brigade rejoined the 
 Fourth Division. Brigadier-General T. W. Sweeny was placed under ar- 
 rest. Brigadier-General Rice assumed command of the Second Division. 
 
 During the night of the 26th of July, the command drew out of its 
 works and halted in the rear of the Fourth Army Corps. The Second Bri- 
 gade, Fourth Division covered the rear and occupied a line of works near 
 to and parallel with the Decatur and Atlanta Roads, until the withdrawal 
 was effected. July 27th the command moved out. passing in the rear of 
 tin \nm of the Cumberland and crossed Proctor's Creek. Brigadier-Gen- 
 eral J. M. Corse was assigned to command the Second Division. My com-

 mand deployed and moved forward and drove the enemy steadily back, and 
 went into position in successive brigades on the west side of Atlanta, facing- 
 due east. General Fuller commanding the Fourth Division, formed on 
 General Corse's right and Corse connected his left with the right of the 
 Army of the Cumberland. 
 
 During the night the line was intrenched. On the 28th at two o'clock 
 in the afternoon, I sent the 63rd Ohio and the 35th New Jersey Infantry 
 of the Fourth Division, under Colonel J. J. Cladeck to re-enforce the Fif- 
 teenth Corps. Their arrival on the ground was very opportune and they 
 went gallantly and promptly into action. Their loss was twenty killed and 
 wounded. 
 
 August 3rd, the skirmish line advanced, holding the ground gained. 
 August 4th, the entire command was advanced as a diversion in favor of 
 General Schofield's movement to the right, and to occupy a line of hills 
 about one thousand yards distant from the enemy's works. The enemy's 
 first line of rifle pits was captured after severe fighting, during which it 
 was driven from and recaptured three times. The enemy was driven back, 
 the line was intrenched that night and held by a double line of skirmishers. 
 
 On account of a change of line, the Fourth Division formed a new line 
 just in the rear and connecting with the Seventeenth Army Corps on the 
 right. My loss in this advance was seventy killed and wounded, which was 
 small considering the exposed position. During August 6, 7, and 8th. the 
 entire line advanced to the last range of hills fronting Atlanta and in plain 
 view of the city. The line was heavily intrenched, strong forts were con- 
 structed, batteries were casemated, and a strong fire kept up upon the 
 enemy's works and the city. 
 
 During the advance, the enemy contested every inch of ground and by 
 his artillery and musketry fire inflicted a heavy loss to my command. Au- 
 gust 9th and 10th artillery and musketry fire was interchanged day and night. 
 August 11th my skirmish line was strengthened, advanced and carried the 
 enemy's vidette line, gaining some very commanding ground, driving the 
 enemy into his main works. 
 
 The captured line was intrenched and forts were constructed, and every 
 gun in the command opened upon every battery of the enemy developed 
 within our reach. On the morning of August 19th, while engaged in super- 
 intending preparations for taking a detached work on our right, I was se- 
 verely wounded and relinquished the command to Brigadier-General T. E. 
 G. Ransom. 
 
 During the campaign the command marched five hundred miles, was 
 engaged in thirteen distinct engagements and was under fire almost the 
 entire campaign. It captured from the enemy seven hundred and twenty- 
 seven prisoners, eleven battle flags, twenty-five hundred small arms with 
 much other material. Its losses were, three hundred and seventy-six killed. 
 one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine wounded, and two hundred and 
 two missing. To Generals Yeatch, Fuller, Corse and Ransom, who com- 
 manded the Divisions, I tender my warmest thanks. They were always 
 prompt, giving personal attention to all movements. 
 
 Throughout the army, among- officers and men. a more intelligent 
 brave patriotic and harmonious command did not exist, mosl of the officers

 and men served under me for two years, and nothing has occurred to mar

 responded. From Corinth to Atlanta they have hewn their way without 
 reverse, leaving the impress of their work in Mississippi, Tennessee, Ala- 
 bama and Georgia, where many, very many, of their comrades' graves mark 
 the scenes of their valor, labor and success. No better or more successful 
 soldiers grace any of our armies.

 Report of Brigadier-General John W. Fuller. 
 Headquarters of the Fourth Division, Sixteenth Army Corps. 
 
 East Point, Georgia, September 12, 1864. 
 
 I have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by 
 this division in that remarkable campaign which has driven the enemy from 
 Northern Georgia and which has closed so gloriously by our occupation 
 of the "Gate City of the South." I regret that the absence of any records 
 covering the time prior to my taking command of the division, will prevent 
 my giving so detailed a report of the early portion of the campaign as is 
 due to the officers and men concerned, for the endurance, fortitude and 
 courage of those who have fought, is hardly less remarkable than the gen- 
 ius of the General who has directed so minutely all the details of the opera- 
 tions of this great army. 
 
 On the 1st day of May, 1S64, the First and Second Brigades with 
 three Batteries of Artillery, marched from Decatur, Alabama. Passing 
 through Huntsville on the evening of the 2nd, we reached Woodville on 
 the Chattanooga Railroad on the 4th. From this point the Infantry and 
 a portion of the Artillery were conveyed by rail to Chattanooga. The 
 wagon train and a part of the Artillery marched through, escorted by the 
 Ninth Illinois mounted Infantry and the First Alabama Cavalry, which 
 at this time, were under the orders of the Division Commander. 
 
 On the 5th of May, we left Chattanooga and marching via Rossville, 
 Gordan's Mills and Villanow, we passed through Snake Creek Gap on the 
 'Mh. and made a reconnaissance to within a mile of Resaca. The First Bri- 
 gade was here ordered to gain the railroad just north of the town, and the 
 Second followed to render any support which might be required. The 
 skirmishers had already gained a position from which they commanded the 
 railroad, and the battalions were close behind with every prospect of beat- 
 ing the small force sent out by the enemy to counteract our movements. 
 Here, however, General McPherson deemed it prudent to halt and recall 
 the Division, and to withdraw all the forces under his command, imme- 
 diately to the mouth of the ( Jap in our rear. 
 
 ( )n the 13th the Division formed the extreme right of the army, en- 
 circling the enemy's lines at Resaca. Out skirmishers, deployed along the 
 hanks of the Oostanaula, were steadily and sharply engaged, and these fac- 
 ing the enemy's fort, near the church, crept up so closely and maintained 
 
General Fuller's Report. 201 
 
 so rapid and accurate a fire, that the enemy was unable to use his guns. 
 The guns of the Fourteenth Ohio Battery, posted on Bald Hill, which over- 
 looked Resaca from the south, poured shot and shell with great rapidity 
 and accuracy into the town, frequently causing the enemy to seek shelter 
 in a ravine which protected them from our fire. 
 
 When General Logan's command drove the enemy from his advanced 
 position on the 14th, two regiments of this division, the Twenty-Fifth 
 Wisconsin and the Thirty-Fifth New Jersey, were ordered forward to as- 
 sist in this movement. General Woods to whom they reported, highly 
 praised their conduct on this occasion. 
 
 Crossing the Oostanaula on the 16th, the Division marched via Adairs- 
 ville to Kingston, where we rested for two or three days, resuming the 
 movement on the 23rd. Passing through Van Wert, we entered Dallas 
 without opposition on the 26th of May and camped on the easterly outskirts 
 of the town. Just at sundown, an order was issued for the Division to 
 march out on the Marietta Road, where it was afterward ascertained, lay 
 Hardee's Corps. Fortunately the order was countermanded. 
 
 At daylight the following morning, the enemy drove our skirmishers 
 back upon their reserves, and our line of battle was immediately formed 
 on the ground where we had slept. The skirmishers were speedily re- 
 enforced and the enemy driven back to the mountain, but we lost some 
 valuable officers, before it was accomplished, among them Captain Sawyer 
 and Lieutenant Diebolt of the Twenty- Seventh Chin Infantry, two of the 
 most gallant and faithful officers of the command. 
 
 During the day our skirmishers were pushed well up the mountain 
 side, and our lines well advanced to the foot of the mountain and strongly 
 intrenched. On the 28th the enemy attempted to storm the line to our 
 right, but his skirmishers (inly attempted to advance in our immediate 
 front, and were held in check by our own skirmishers without assistance 
 from the line of battle ; but the skirmishing was so severe for several clays, 
 that we sustained considerable loss. 
 
 On the 1st of June the Army of the Tennessee moved four or five 
 miles to the left (North) to unite with the Army of the Cumberland. The 
 Fourth Division was held as rear guard to cover this movement, and fol- 
 lowed without molestation from the enemy. Encamping near Pumpkin Vine 
 Creek, works were thrown up, covering the right flank of the army. We 
 had some skirmishing and our batteries exchanged some shots with the 
 enemy's artillery. 
 
 Moving on the 5th, the Division reached Ackworth on the 6th, where 
 it enjoyed several days' rest. On the 11th the Second Brigade took part 
 in armed reconnaisance which developed the enemy strongly intrenched 
 some three miles south of Big Shanty. The First Brigade following, 
 formed line to the left of the Second and extending to connect with Gen- 
 eral Logan's Fifteenth Army Corps. Here, seemingly close to the foot of 
 Kenesaw Mountain (yet nearly three miles distant) in plain view of the 
 enemy's troops on the summit, and watched closely by his signal corps, 
 whose flags were in constant motion, we met that obstacle which for twenty 
 days bade defiance alike to the bravery of our soldiers and the skill of our 
 commanders. Each position occupied by the Division during the approach

 to the Mountain, cost us a sharp skirmish to .train, and all were strongly 
 fortified by the willing hands of men who toiled as cheerfully in the trenches 
 as they fought bravely in the ranks. 
 
 When the general assault of June 27th was ordered, the Sixty-Fourth 
 Illinois Infantry was selected to drive the enemy's skirmishers up the moun- 
 tain side, and, if possible to gain a foothold upon the crest. They advanced 
 with great gallantry, and a few bold men got close to the enemy's line 
 of works, but tbe task assigned them proved more than men could accom- 
 plish, and nearly fifty brave fellows fell in the attempt. 
 
 They drove the enemy back into his main works near the crest, but 
 the steep and rocky face of the Mountain was an obstacle of itself, more 
 formidable than a line of men, and beyond this they could not go. They 
 held a position, however, higher than anybody on their right or left and 
 during the night toiled patiently till it was rendered tenable and secure. 
 
 The Twenty-Seventh Ohio relieved the Sixty-Fourth Illinois and occu- 
 pied the position until July 3rd. 
 
 Early in July the enemy evinced a nervousness at the movement of 
 the extreme right of our army, and on the morning of the 3rd, it was dis- 
 covered that he had fallen back toward the Chattahoochee River. Very 
 soon the command was marching to the right and toward the river, and we 
 bivouacked that night on the right bank of Nick-o-jack Creek, near Ruff's 
 Mills. 
 
 On the following morning, July 4th, the First Brigade was ordered to 
 drive the enemy from a position he held on the opposite bank. We crossed 
 the stream at the mill, and as soon as we reached the hill beyond, the Thirty- 
 ninth Ohio and the Sixty-fourth Illinois were deployed in line, and the 
 Twenty-seventh Ohio and Eighteenth Missouri were formed in column on 
 either flank. 
 
 The enemy was soon encountered, and after a sharp skirmish, fell 
 back to a strong line of works, where they were found in force. During the 
 skirmish, and while ascertaining the position of their line, we lost thirty 
 or forty men. After forming our lines within two hundred or three hun- 
 dred yards of the enemy, we constructed continuous rifle pits for the In- 
 fantry, and also placed a battery in position to command his works. Aboul 
 noon, an order was given by ( leneral Dodge, to make an effort to break 
 the enemy's line. The Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth ( thio Infantry 
 Regiments were selected to make the charge, and were advanced quietly 
 through the woods. This order was soon countermanded, the movement 
 being deemed too hazardous to attempt. About six o'clock in the evening, 
 however, the order was repeated. The two regiments mentioned were 
 again given special instructions, the Sixty-fourth Illinois was to cover the 
 left flank, and on the right it was understood that a part of the Second 
 Division of this Corps was to charge simultaneously. 
 
 The Eighteenth Missouri and Colonel Sprague's Second Brigade were 
 held in reserve, and in readiness to cover their retreat, should the troops 
 assaulting be repulsed. Orders were given not to tire a shot before reach- 
 ing the works, and at a given signal (bugle) the two regiments rushed 
 forward. They had not more than one hundred yards to run. yet more 
 than eighty fell before the works were reached, among them. Colonel I'.. I'.

 Noyes, the gallant commander of the Thirty-ninth Uhio Infantry, who lost 
 a leg, and Captain Angel of the Thirty-fifth New Jersey, who was instantly 
 killed while forming his line. Some of the enemy were bayonetted, others 
 shot, and a good many captured, but the great mass, apparently panic- 
 stricken by the boldness and suddenness of the assault, ran off at full speed. 
 
 A moment later, seeing a portion of his works in our possession, and, 
 perhaps, thinking that the cheering from our lines indicated a general as- 
 sault, the enemy, as far as we could see to the right and left, abandoned 
 his intrenchments and retired. It is doubtful whether so small a force as 
 that actually engaged, ever emptied a longer line of works. During the 
 night the enemy made a great show of strengthening an interior and still 
 stronger line of earth works, but daylight the next morning revealed the 
 fact that he had abandoned our front altogether and retired to the river. 
 
 We were now ordered to move down the Sand Town Road and take 
 a position near the Chattahoochee River. We bivouacked for two or three 
 days, skirmishing with the enemy across the river (which at this point is 
 less than one hundred yards in width ) until the 9th when we marched east, 
 to the left of the army via Marietta, to Rosswell, which we reached on the 
 evening of July 10th and immediately forded the river. Here we remained 
 till the 17th, rebuilding the bridge across the Chattahootchee, and strongly 
 fortifying the position we had taken, which formed a tete-de-pcnt. 
 
 At this point Brigadier-General Yeatch was compelled, on account of 
 ill health, to relinquish the command of the division, which now devolved 
 upon the writer. Leaving the river we marched in a southerly direction 
 to Nancy's Creek, from which, after a brief skirmish we drove the enemy's 
 cavalry and encamped. The day following we moved to near Peach Tree 
 Creek, and on the 19th marched into Decatur. While going into position 
 near the railroad, on the south side of the town, the enemy opened on us 
 with artillery, killing and wounding several men of the command. The guns 
 of the Fourteenth Ohio Battery were put in position near the jail and soon 
 drove the enemy from our front. 
 
 On the 20th we moved on the road toward Atlanta, and encamped 
 near the Augusta Railroad, about three miles from the city. The day prior 
 to the battle (22nd) I had been ordered to send one brigade to Decatur, a vil- 
 lage five miles east of our lines to garrison that place. I accordingly or- 
 dered Colonel (now General) J. W. Sprague. commanding the Second 
 Brigade, to proceed there, directing him to report to Major-General Dodge 
 for detailed instructions. During the afternoon of the same day I was or- 
 dered to proceed with the remaining brigade and report to Major-General 
 Blair, commanding the Seventeenth Corps. The Fourteenth Ohio Battery 
 was to await orders from Major-General Dodge. Light Company F. Sec- 
 ond United States Artillery, was to march with me, also my Corps of Pio- 
 neers. Reporting to General Blair, that officer sent a member of his staff 
 to conduct me to that part of the line held by Brigadier-General Leggett. 
 After a conference with that officer, my infantry was formed in two lines, 
 near and in the. rear of his intrenchments. Light Company F was assigned 
 to a position in the front line between General Leggelt's Division and that 
 of Brigadier-General Giles A. Smith's. Ah' Pioneer Corps was employed 
 
204 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 in assisting the completion of the intrenched line for General Smith's In- 
 fantry, in constructing- a work for Light Company F and during the re- 
 mainder of the night in throwing up a strong work to cover some heavy 
 guns on the Bald Hill, which formed the right of the line of the Seventeenth 
 Corps. On the following morning. July 22nd, it was discovered that the 
 enemy had fallen back from the line lie had occupied and the skirmish line 
 in our front was advanced nearly half a mile. 
 
 Everything seemed unusually quiet and the new position of the enemy 
 appeared to offer an opportunity to considerably advance our lines. ( ien- 
 eral Dodge came up early in the day and informed me that our Corps would 
 take a position on the left of the Seventeenth and as soon as that Corps 
 had established its new line, we would form on its left. Tn the meantime 
 my command would retain its present position. At about twelve o'clock 
 noon. Lieutenant Laird reported with the Fourteenth Ohio Battery. I or- 
 dered him to park his battery on the hill near my headquarters, until our 
 position could be established. It so happened that the position wdiere he 
 halted was that from which he used his guns with such telling effect. 
 
 It was near one o'clock when skirmishing was heard in our rear, and 
 General Dodge, then dining in my tent, said that he had been informed 
 that the enemy's cavalry had been seen in that direction, and ordered me to 
 place a regiment in position to cover our trains. The Twenty-seventh Ohio 
 Infantry Regiment was sent for but within five minutes after General Dodge 
 had left me the skirmishing was so heavy that I ordered out the entire First 
 Brigade at a double-quick. Three regiments were formed in line in the 
 field in the rear of our trains, with our backs toward Atlanta, and my left 
 near the right of the Second Division which had just arrived. The Eigh- 
 teenth Missouri was held in reserve. Skirmishers. Company A of the 
 Twenty-seventh Ohio, commanded by First Lieutenant Charles H. Smith, 
 thrown out to cover our front crossed the field, but were driven back by 
 the enemy's line of battle, and my command became warmly engaged. 
 
 The enemy advanced into the open field, halted and opened fire upon 
 us, but he seemed surprised to find himself facing out infantry in line of 
 battle, for their steady fire aided by the guns of the Fourteenth Battery 
 which held an infielding position on my left, soon caused him to go back 
 under cover of the woods. 1 then ordered the regiments to lie behind the 
 crest of the ridge, and, seeing the enemy was again preparing to advance, 
 directed Colonels McDowell of the Thirty-ninth ( Ihio and Churchill of the 
 Twenty-seventh Ohio, to wait until the enemy should march half way across 
 the field, and then to rise, fire a volley and charge. Bayonets were imme- 
 diately fixed to carry out this order, but for some reason the regiments 
 did not wait, as I had ordered, but charged as soon as the enemy's line 
 had emerged from the woods. 
 
 This movement was executed too soon to give us many prisoners, the 
 woods covering their retreat, hut it so thoroughly routed that portion of 
 the enemy's line which was in front of these regiments, and sent them back 
 in such confusion, that his supports retired also, and no enemy showed him- 
 self on that part of the field. All who were not shot or did not run away. 
 of the Sixty-sixth Georgia Infantry, were captured by the Thirty-ninth 
 
General Fuller's Report. 205 
 
 and Twenty-seventh Ohio, including the Colonel, the Adjutant and one 
 Captain. 
 
 Immediately after this charge I discovered that such of the enemy's 
 line th:it overlapped our right Hank was marching past the right of the 
 Twentv-seventh Ohio Regiment on toward Atlanta, which now lay in our 
 rear. His supports followed closely, halted, and some rebel regiments 
 marching in column doubled on the center, changed direction to their right, 
 and marched straight for the flank of these regiment-- which had just made 
 the charge described. Seeing this I ordered these regiments to change 
 front and face the new enemy. To accomplish this we were obliged to 
 throw back the right rapidly. A very hot fire during this hazardous but 
 necessary manoeuver, rendered it impossible to keep the line well dressed, 
 and for a moment it seemed as if these veteran regiments would be routed. 
 The Twenty-seventh Ohio, especially, occupying the right, and obliged to 
 make the movement on the run, when reaching the ground where it was 
 to halt and face about, was in some confusion. There was not a moment 
 to lose, and the din of battle was too great to hear orders, so the colors 
 were moved out*. Toward the approaching enemy, and my sword indi 
 cated where the line should be reformed. 
 
 The men of the Twenty-seventh Ohio, noting the movement of their 
 colors and instantly comprehending what was required of them, with a 
 great shout came up on either side, in less time than I can write. The 
 Thirty-ninth Ohio instantly formed on their left, bayonets were brought 
 down to a charge, our men advanced, and the rebels now distant less than 
 a hund-ed yards, came to a right-about, and ran back to the woods. While 
 the movement just described was occuring, some rebel regiments which had 
 out-flanked the Twenty-seventh Ohio, and were marching toward our rear, 
 were stopped by the fire of the Sixty-fourth Illinois and the Eighteenth 
 Missouri. 
 
 Colonel Sheldon of the Eighteenth Missouri, rapidly changed the di- 
 rection of his line, so as to give his men a raking fire on the enemy. The 
 rebels were partly covered with a piece of rail fence, but soon began to 
 break, when a General, supposed to be General Walker, rode out of the 
 woods in front of the line occupied by the Twenty-seventh Ohio, and swing- 
 ing his hat made a great effort to urge forward his troops. The next mo- 
 ment his horse went back riderless, and so sharp was the fire of our men 
 that the enemy disappeared almost immediately, and nobody seemed to heed 
 the cry of their officers to "bring off the General." 
 
 The slaughter here may be judged by the report of Colonel Sheldon, 
 who found as many as thirteen dead rebels in a single fence corner. It 
 was just after these combats that General McPherson, who had been looking 
 on from high ground in our rear, rode away to see how General Giles A. 
 Smith was getting on. He rode down the road which led from my right 
 flank, into the woods, where he must have been immediately killed. 
 
 Very soon, the rebels, having recovered under the cover of the woods, 
 returned to the fence at the edge of the field, and reopened a heavy fire 
 upon us. I ordered the Sixty-fourth Illinois to move to the right, then 
 advance into the woods, and, if possible, get a flank fire on this line. This

 proved a heavier job than one regiment could accomplish. They drove back 
 the rebels temporarily. They captured and sent back to the rear forty 
 prisoners. They took a stand of colors, and their valor rescued the body 
 of General McPherson, whence it was borne to the rear; but after a hard 
 right, in which they lost several officers and more than fifty men, they were 
 driven out of the woods, pell-mell. 
 
 Yet our line in the field, now lying down and partially covered by the 
 crest of a ridge, aided by the Fourteenth Ohio Battery, which threw shells 
 incessantly over our men into the rebel ranks, made it so hot that the enemy 
 was eventually compelled to withdraw. And here let me say that Ohio 
 Battery (Lieutenant Laird) in position across the ravine on my left, (in 
 rear after our change of front ) did more toward defeating the enemy, than 
 is often accomplished by six guns. Every discharge seemed to tell, and 
 the battery was very active throughout the battle. Light Company F, Sec- 
 ond Unites States Artillery, was at the beginning of the action in the line 
 of the Seventeenth Corps. I sent my Chief of Artillery to get it relieved, 
 and then to order it to report to me. Some delay occurred in relieving it 
 and it never reported. I learned after the battle that it was captured by 
 the enemy while attempting to rejoin me, on the same road, and not far 
 from the spot where General McPherson was killed. 
 
 After the enemy had retired from my front he was reported in heavy 
 force to the right and rear, and still fighting the Seventeenth Corps, whose 
 line was now nearly at right angles with its original position. To form 
 connection with the left of this Corps, I was ordered to take a position to 
 the right of the Second Division, Sixteenth Corps, which had now changed 
 front to rear on its left battalion, and if possible, to cover the space between 
 that division and the Seventeenth Corps. Accordingly, after removing my 
 own wounded. I moved to the position indicated and so far as my command 
 was concerned, the battle had closed. This movement enabled the rebels 
 to return and carry off their wounded and many of their dead. Such as 
 were not removed (viz: seventy-nine bodies) we buried, the following 
 morning. 
 
 It is impossible for me to state accurately the number of prisoners cap- 
 tured by the command as they were sent in squads to the rear, during the 
 battle. From the best evidence I can get, I think we sent to the rear about 
 two hundred. 
 
 No command ever behaved with more gallantry than did the officers 
 and men to whom this report relates. Colonel Morrell who bad recently 
 assumed command of the brigade, was wounded :• t the beginning of the 
 action, but he did not leave the field until a. second wound a few minutes 
 later, compelled him to withdraw. I need not stop to bestow praise on the 
 regimental commanders. I have related what their regiments accomplished, 
 that with a single line they broke and routed the enemy's double line in 
 their front, and when immediately thereafter, assailed by fresh troops in 
 flank, they turned and drove them also from the field. Let this simple 
 statement be a record of their valor. 
 
 It gives me pleasure in connection with the foregoing to refer to the 
 operations of the Second Brigade, as shown by the accompanying report 
 of Colonel (now General) Sprague. While we were fighting the enemy's 
 
General Fuller's Report. 207 
 
 infantry near Atlanta, a very large force of his cavalry endeavored to en- 
 velope Colonel Sprague's detached command at Decatur, and to possess 
 themselves of our supply trains moving in his rear. That Colonel Sprague 
 saved our trains and brought off his command in good order is well known ; 
 that he handled his command skillfully, and they fought bravely, the reports 
 will fully prove. I will not attempt to praise an officer who is deservedly 
 held in such high esteem as is Brigadier-General Sprague, but respectfully 
 submit his own report of his engagement with the enemy. 
 
 I must not omit to acknowledge my obligations to my staff (whose 
 names cannot appear elsewhere ) for services rendered in this hard fought 
 battle. Captain Daniel Weber, acting Adjutant; Captain O. W. Pollock, 
 Inspector ; and Captain George Robinson, Chief of Artillery ; were all on 
 the field throughout the action, and were distinguished for coolness and 
 promptness in the discharge of the duties assigned them. The following 
 detailed report of casualties, shows that our loss was severe.

 Amidst the exultation over the signal and decisive defeat of that por- 
 tion of the enemy's forces which assailed our position, was felt a sorrow 
 more deep than words can utter, over our wounded and dead. More than 
 one fourth of those who stood in line, of some of our regiments, at noon, 
 were not present when the sun went down. Many a grave was shutting 
 from sight forever those who had stood manfully in the ranks for years. 
 Hundreds more were borne mained and bleeding to the hospital, and the 
 commander of the Army of the Tennessee McPherson, who had secured 
 our unbounded confidence, and regard, had fallen just when his usefulness 
 seemed at its zenith, and when his assistance seemed most required. The 
 position taken by the First Brigade at the close of the battle of July 22nd 
 was strongly fortified and was occupied till the night of the 26th. The 
 Second Brigade took a position on the Decatur Road in the rear until the 
 25th, when it returned and repotted for orders. 
 
 Just after midnight, July 27th, the Division commenced a movement 
 around the rear of the army to the west side of the city. About four 
 o'clock in the afternoon, we formed line on the right of the Second Divi- 
 
 
General Fuller's Report. 209 
 
 sion of our Sixteenth Corps, and advanced to Proctor's Creek, driving the 
 enemy's skirmishers steadily before us till it was dark. On the morning 
 of the 28th, we advanced some five hundred yards and at once constructed 
 a line of rifle pits facing to the east. The Second Division of our Corps 
 connected with us on the left, and the Seventeenth Army Corps on the 
 right. During the day the enemy attacked the lines of the Fifteenth Corps, 
 still further to the right, and in obedience to orders, I sent the Sixty-fourth 
 Illinois and the Thirty-fifth New Jersey to the support of that Corps. They 
 reached the battle field in time to render very important assistance, and 
 shared in the glory of the day. From this time no important movement 
 was made by the division for several weeks. Sharp skirmishing was kept up 
 continually and our lines were advanced some five-hundred yards from 
 which position we were enabled to use our artillery with very considerable 
 effect. 
 
 ( )n the 4th of August, Brigadier-General Ransom was assigned to the 
 command of the division (Fourth), but on the 19th of the same month. 
 Major-General Dodge being severely wounded. General Ransom assumed 
 command of the left wing of the Corps ( Sixteenth ). leaving the writer again 
 in command of the Division (Fourth). 
 
 ( In the 8th of August, the Third Brigade, which had been on duty at 
 Decatur, Alabama, rejoined the Division and took its place in the front 
 line, bearing cheerfully their part in the toils and dangers of the campaign. 
 August the 20th. the Seventeenth Xew York Infantry (Colonel Grower) 
 was transferred to the Fourteenth Army Corps, and the Tenth Illinois In- 
 fantry (Colonel Tillson) being assigned to the Sixteenth Corps, took the 
 place of the Seventeenth Xew York in the Third Brigade. 
 
 The record of this regiment, though belonging properly to the history 
 of the Fourteenth Army Corps, will be found among the accompanying 
 papers, and is one which the regiment may refer to with satisfaction. 
 
 August 24th. arrangements were made to enable the Army of the 
 Tennessee to swing to the extreme right flank. A line of works was con- 
 structed, running nearly at right angles with that occupied for some weeks, 
 to cover our left flank, pending the movement. 
 
 By daylight on the 26th, the troops were all withdrawn to this new 
 line and about midnight the following day. all were in motion. They 
 marched to Camp Creek, crossing the I "toy, on the 27th. On the 28th we 
 encamped near Shadna Church, on the Montgomery Railroad, and during 
 the following day we marched about two miles to the south of Fairburn 
 and assist ed in thoroughly destroying the railroad for a space of six or 
 eight miles. 
 
 On the 30th of August we marched within two miles of Jonesborough, 
 and the next day fortified our position near Flint River. The enemy at- 
 tacked our position during the day. A brigade of the Division was sent 
 to re-enforce the command of General Corse, but the enemy was speedily 
 repulsed. 
 
 During the night of September 1st, the enemy retired from our front. 
 and orders were soon issued to follow him. lie was found in position, 
 well-intrenched, about five miles from Jonesborough. The lines were 
 formed, leaving; this Division in reserve. On the 3rd instant, we went into

 position, faced to the west, on the extreme right flank of the army, ami 
 here received the welcome order announcing the fall of Atlanta and the 
 close of the campaign. 
 
 On the afternoon of the 5th, the Fourth Division went into position, 
 occupying works constructed August 24th. to cover the withdrawal of the 
 army. During the night the Seventeenth Army Corps and the Second Di- 
 vision of the Sixteenth, passed through our lines to the rear, and at day- 
 light on the morning of the 6th, we followed, serving as rear guard for 
 the right column of the army, halting at Jonesborough. < >n the mornnig 
 of the 7th, we marched to neai Marrow's Mill, and mi the following day 
 reached East Point, where the command is now encamped. 
 
 -as I close this report I am conscious that 1 have failed to do justice 
 to the Division I have the honor to command, and especially so. as I recall 
 the many instances of fortitude and heroic courage which it has evinced. 
 On the fields of Resaca and of Dallas, sleep many gallant men, who stood 
 in our ranks, and high up the mountain side of ECenesaw are resting the 
 bones of others. Shall any one reprove the men of this command as they 
 relate with something of pride that their skirmishers were first to enter 
 Resaca, and that one of their flags was first to wave from the top of that 
 mountain, which is both tomb and monument to man)- of their comrades 
 Shall we soon forget the Xick-o-jack, henceforth associated by us with 
 the natal day of our country? Xear its hanks a portion of this command 
 ( 27th and 39th Ohio Infantry) celebrated its anniversary by an assault 
 upon the enemy 's works, which was as bold as it was successful, nor can 
 one walk in either direction save one from the city of Atlanta without 
 treading upon ground which has been rendered historic by the valor of 
 the s, ildk-rs of this Division and hallowed by the graves of its dead. 
 
 To General Sprague, who has commanded the Second Brigade through- 
 out the campaign with marked ability, I have been greatly indebted. In 
 Colonel Alorrell (wounded on the 22nd of July) and Lieutenant-Colonel 
 McDowell, who succeeded him in command of the First Brigade, a< well 
 as Colonel Tillson. who has recently commanded the Third Brigade. I 
 have found an able and willing support. They have my thanks for the 
 promptness and ability with which I have been aided. 
 
 To the officers of the Division Staff, Captain Cadle, Assistant- Adju- 
 tant-! ieneral ; Captain Pollock, Robinson, Weber, Koehne, and Lieutenant 
 Beers, who have been detailed from the line. I am under great obligations. 
 In the camp, on the march, and on the battle field, they have displayed a 
 zeal, ability and courage, which has secured the esteem and confidence of 
 all with whom they have served. It is fitting also that I should here record 
 the fact that during the entire campaign. Captain Kellog, our Commissary 
 of Subsistence, has never omitted supplying us promptly with rations, nor 
 have the trains of Captain Giesy, our Quartermaster, ever failed to bring 
 them to our lines. The same may be said of Lieutenant Smith, an officer 
 who ha- faithfully served at the front in cverv emergency.

 Near Lovejoy Station, Georgia, September 3, 1864. 
 
 On the 1st of May, this Brigade consisted of the Twenty-fifth Wiscon- 
 sin, the Thirty-fifth New Jersey, Forty-third Ohio and Sixty-third Ohio 
 Volunteers. The aggregate of the Brigade present at that date was 2,548. 
 On the day above mentioned we marched from Decatur, Alabama, for 
 Chattanooga. On the 6th we passed over the battle field of Chickamauga 
 and encamped at Gordon's Mills. On the 7th we marched to Ship's ( lap, 
 four miles further south and held the Gap until the main column came up, 
 thence through Villanow to Snake Creek Gap. On the 9th on a recon- 
 naissance near to Resaca. we then returned to Sugar Valley near the Gap. 
 
 On the 13th we marched with the Army of the Tennessee constantly 
 engaged in the operations before Resaca. The Twenty-fifth Wisconsin and 
 the Thirty-fifth Xew Jersey particularly distinguished themselves by charg- 
 ing and taking each a hill on the right. Our loss before Resaca was eleven 
 killed, and seventy-six wounded. We followed the enemy to Dallas, ar- 
 riving on the 26th. Active skirmishing continued, at times becoming almost 
 a battle until June 1st. when the enemy withdrew. Our losses were heavy. 
 
 The Fourth Division moved to Pumpkin Vine Creek and to Big Shanty 
 Station. South of the last named place we struck the enemy and wen 
 actively engaged in driving him from one line of rifle pits to another, in 
 which we captured thirty prisoners. The entire advance was over open 
 ground, my loss was considerable. During the night of the 19th the enemy 
 evacuated his works and fell back to Kenesaw Mountain. We advanced 
 our works until July 3rd. when the enemy again abandoned his works and 
 the town of .Marietta. We at once marched to a point near Ruff's Mills, a 
 distance of twelve miles, where we again struck the enemy, finding him 
 strongly intrenched. 
 
 At this point. July 4th. Captain Charles A. Angel! was killed while 
 getting his regiment into position. The enemy's first line of works was 
 charged and carried by the Twenty-seventh Ohio and Thirty-ninth Ohio, 
 of the First Brigade, in most gallant style, and during the night the enemy 
 evacuated his entire works which had been elaborately constructed. 
 
 July 5th, we again moved after the enemy. On the 7th we arrived at 
 Ih.wcH's Ferry, on the Chattahootchee River. On the 9th with the Army 
 of the Tennesee, we marched east via Marietta to Rosswell. where we 
 forded the river and constructed a tete-de-pont, and built a bridge across 
 the river. On the 17th, leaving the Forty-third to guard the bridge and 
 trains, we moved on Decatur, where we arrived on the 19th. On the next 
 day we moved about four miles toward Atlanta, and on the 21st 1 was 
 ordered with my command to relieve General Gerrard's Cavalry and cover 
 our wagon trains which were coming forward with supplies via Rosswell, 
 and to picket strongly the roads leading south and east of that town. 
 
 < >n arriving there, six companies were posted, covering all the ap- 
 proaches, and the three regiments and artillery were put into position to 
 
212 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 defend and hold the town. On the 22nd, the enemy's cavalry made -.nine 
 demonstrations along our front. 1 ordered four companies of the Sixty- 
 third Ohio, all under Lieutenant-Colonel kusk, to make a reconnaissance 
 and ascertain, if possible, the fence of the enemy. Colonel Montgomery, 
 commanding the J Wenty-fifth Wisconsin asked permission to go, and 1 
 Ci indented. Soon after the battalion stalled. Second Lieutenant T. D. 
 Griffin, with four guns of the Chicago Board of Trade Battery, reported 
 to me, and 1 assigned him to a position on the hill north of the jail and 
 near tlie road. The battery was supported by three companies of the Sixty- 
 third Ohio. The two remaining companies were near Dr. Hoyle's house 
 on the hill south of the railroad, and on their left were the two guns of 
 Battery C, hirst Michigan, next the remaining companies of the Twenty- 
 fifth Wisconsin, and further on the left, covering the roads from the south- 
 east, the Twenty-fifth New Jersey was posted. 
 
 Colonel Montgomery had proceeded with the eight companies, but a 
 short distance before the enemy was developed in considerable force. Our 
 skirmishers were sharply engaged and discovered the enemy moving to the 
 left of Colonel Montgomery with the evident design of cutting him off. I 
 ordered him to move to the left and rear so as to be in supporting distance 
 of the main line, lie had hardly executed the movement before the enemy 
 advanced in strong force in my front, and at the same time pretty large- 
 masses were seen moving to my rear, both on my right and my left. Colonel 
 Montgomery's battalion got somewhat entangled in a swamp which was 
 found in their rear, when he attempted to rejoin the main line, and being 
 heavily pressed by the enemy, the command came in with the organization 
 somewhat broken. Before all could extricate themselves from the swamp, 
 some were surrounded and captured by the enemy. The two companies 
 on the right of the battery being joined by one or two companies of the 
 reconnoitering party, a line was at once formed nearly perpendicular to 
 the original line to meet the enemy on my right. The Thirty-fifth New 
 Jersey was doing the same on the left. There was little difficulty in check- 
 ing the enemy in front at any time during the action, but as the masses 
 passing to the rear on my right and left would endanger the trains in town 
 and on the road from Rosswell, I fell back to the hill at the south line of 
 the town. 
 
 The line was soon formed with the six guns in position, and the fight 
 continued until the town was very nearly enveloped by the superior num- 
 bers of the enemy, when I again fell hack into the Court House Square, 
 fighting from three sides of it. I [ere again the artillery opened with effect. 
 The trains of the Fifteenth Corps which were in town when the fight com- 
 menced, had all withdrawn and were safe. 1 had no doubt of my ability to 
 hold the Court House Square and the town, hut this would not prevent the 
 enemy from attacking the trains of our army coming up from Rosswell, and 
 I made a shorl stand just north of the place to beat off the enemy who were 
 approaching from the west. In this 1 was assisted by the Ninth Illinois 
 mounted lufantrv. who threw out a strong line of skirmishers to the west 
 of the mad mentioned. They had just come up with the train from Ross- 
 well. 
 
General Sprague's Report. 213 
 
 After the artillery had all passed, 1 moved along the Rosswell Road 
 leisurely to the junction of Face's Ferry Road and took a strong posi- 
 tion, and threw up some rude hut strong defenses, about one mile north 
 from Decatur. Here Colonel Wager Swayne, commanding, came up and 
 joined me. The trains which were passing in my rear toward the Twenty- 
 third Corps, were hastened forward and soon all were known to be safe. 
 but the enemy did not see fit to follow and continue the fight. My skirm 
 ishers were advanced and remained during the night in sight of the town, 
 into which 1 retired with my command. The next morning the enemj 
 had withdrawn. 
 
 The force attacking me was two divisions of Wheeler's Cavalry and 
 mounted infantry. All the enemy's forces engaged in the fight were dis- 
 mounted. I have no means of knowing the loss the enemy sustained. He 
 reported to the citizens of Decatur that it was between five hundred and 
 six hundred. My loss is two hundred and forty-two killed, wounded and 
 missing. Colonel Montgomery was wounded and fell into the hands of the 
 enemy. Near the close of the action Colonel Charles E. Brown, command- 
 ing the Sixty-third ( )hio, was wounded in the leg. which has since been 
 amputated near the thigh. 
 
 The command of this regiment then devolved upon Major [. W. 
 Fonts. All officers discharged their whole duty gallantly and well. Many 
 daring deeds were done by line officers, non-commissioned officers and 
 privates, and some brilliant charges were made, in which the bayonet was 
 freely used with effect upon the enemy. 1 acknowledge my indebtedness to 
 my staff officers. Their whole duty was discharged fearlessly and intelli- 
 gently. The action lasted over an hour and a half. 
 
 On the 24th of July, my command was engaged in destroying the At- 
 lanta and Augusta Railroad. On the 25th I again joined the Division 
 (Fourth ). On the 26th of July, we moved with the Army of the Tennessee 
 toward the extreme right on the west of Atlanta and on the next day moved 
 forward into position with slight skirmishing near the head of Proctor's 
 Creek. On the 28th the Fifteenth Corps, on our right was fiercely as- 
 saulted. The Thirty-fifth Xew Jersey was sent to report to General Logan, 
 and was soon hotly engaged. The enemy was repulsed and severely pun- 
 ished On the 2f)th of August, we commenced the movement which brought 
 us, by a circuitous route, to a point on the Atlanta and Montgomery Rail- 
 road, near Fairburn Station. 
 
 On the 29th we destroyed the railroad. ( )n August 30th we marched 
 in the direction of Jonesborougb, on the Atlanta and Macon Railroad and 
 encamped on Flint River at ten o'clock at night. My command was under 
 arms and in position. During the night of September 2nd, the enemy fled 
 from Jonesborougb, and our army pursued to Lovejoy Station. Here it 
 was officially announced that Atlanta was in our possession. The heart of 
 every soldier was glad and rejoiced that he was one of the grand army 
 which in a campaign of over four months, had overcome everv obstacle and 
 driven the army of the enemy from one mountain stronghold to another, 
 capturing hundreds of miles of the best earthworks the ingenuity and labor 
 of the enemy could construct, and, finally the fortified city of Atlanta, often 
 boastingly proclaimed at their "last ditch." History gives no parallel to

 Report of Lieutenant-Colonel Henry T. McDozvell. 
 
 East Point, Georgia, September 13th, 1864. 
 On the morning of May 1st. the Brigade, consisting of the Eighteenth 
 Missouri, SixtyJ-fourth Illinois, Twenty-seventh Ohio and Thirty-ninth 
 
216 Fuller's Omo Brigade 
 
 ( )hio [nfantrj Regiments, marched from Decatur, Alabama, under com- 
 mand of Brigadier-General John W. Fuller with an aggregate of two thou- 
 sand nine hundred and sixty-six men for duty. We reached Woodville 
 Station, distant from Decatur sixty-two miles, on the morning of the 4th 
 and Chattanooga about midnight. On the 5th we crossed the Mission 
 Ridge, passing over Chattanooga battle-held, camped at Lee and Gordon's 
 Mills. Snake Creek Gap was reached on the 8th. On the 9th we moved 
 toward the railroad near Resaca. The command was intrenched and re- 
 mained until the 13th when we again advanced taking position within a 
 mile of the enemy's works. We remained during the operations of the 
 army at that point and supported the Fourteenth Ohio Battery, meeting 
 with slight loss. \\'e reached Dallas on the evening of the 26th and drove 
 the enemy's skirmishers one mile on the 27th. The point taken was held 
 until June 1st. Withdrawing from that line, we crossed Pumpkin Vine 
 Creek and reached Big Shanty on the 10th. On the 11th. marched down 
 the railroad to within three miles of Kenesaw Mountain. On the 19th the 
 enemy having left his works in our front, we advanced to the base of Kene- 
 saw Mountain, pushing our skirmishers well up the side of the mountain. 
 We remained in that position until July 3rd when we moved to the right 
 and bivouacked for the night at Nick-o-jack Creek. On the morning of the 
 4th we crossed the Creek and pushed forward in line of battle with bri-k 
 skirmishing for the distance of about a mile when we halted in a dense 
 wood some three hundred yards from the enemy's works. The Twenty- 
 seventh Ohio on the right, the Thirty-ninth next and the Sixty-fourth Illi- 
 nois next covered the front as skirmishers. 
 
 The Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth ( )hio were selected to make the 
 assault, the Eighteenth Missouri being behind the center in reserve. At 
 -ix o'clock in the evening the order to charge was given, and was success- 
 fully made. The works were held and reversed, during the night. 
 
 The loss in the day's operations was fourteen enlisted men killed and 
 seven commissioned officers and eighty-two enlisted men wounded. 
 
 On the 5th march was made on the Sand Town Road, halting near 
 the Chattahoochee River. On the 9th, moved on the Marietta. I In the 
 10th. proceeded eastwardly to Rosswell, on the Chattahoochee River, which 
 we crossed by wading on the 11th. On the 17th we advanced to Nancy's 
 Creek. General Fuller having assumed command of the Fourth Division, 
 the command of the Brigade devolved to Colonel Morrell, of the Sixty- 
 fourth Illinois. Decatur was reached on the 19th. On the 20th march was 
 made to Atlanta. < )n the 21st a position was taken behind the Seventeenth 
 Corps, and the command was held in reserve. 
 
 About 12:30 I'. M., of the 22nd. orders were received to move the 
 brigade as rapidly as possible to the rear and report to General Fuller, in 
 an old field in which the trains of the different Corps were parked. In a 
 very short time the brigade was in line. The regiments had the following 
 relative positions: the Thirty-ninth Ohio on the left and on the extension 
 of the line of the Second Division, Sixteenth Corp-: the Twenty-seventh 
 ( )hio on the right of the Thirty-ninth, with the Eighteenth Missouri and the 
 Sixty-fourth Illinois in the rear forming a second line. Our position was 
 somewhat retired from the cresl of a ridge in the open field. 
 
Colonel Churchill's Report. 217 
 
 Skirmishers were sent forward, hut had barely reached the wood, a 
 short distance in the front, when they met the heavy lines of the enemy. 
 At this juncture, an order was given to advance to the crest of the ridge, 
 but through some misunderstanding of the order, the line continued to push 
 forward after reaching the crest. The enemy had by this time emerged 
 from the woods into the open ground, but gave way before the charge 
 of our men and fled in confusion. ( >ur right being unprotected, and the 
 line being exposed to a severe flank fire, it became necessary to halt at 
 the edge of the woods instead of following up the advantage gained and 
 finally to withdraw to the crest of the ridge. This last was accomplished 
 without any noticable confusion on the part of any of the command, not- 
 withstanding the severity of the enemy's fire. Pending these movements 
 on the part of the first line, the Eighteenth Missouri and Sixty-fourth Illi- 
 nois were doing good service in endeavoring to dislodge the enemy from 
 his position, in the woods, in our right and rear. We maintained our posi- 
 tion with some unimportant changes in direction, until four o'clock in the 
 afternoon, keeping up a fire that prevented the enemy from reforming his 
 lines or attempting any further advance. All our dead and wounded were 
 brought oft". 
 
 The Hrigade during the engagement lost two commissioned officers 
 and forty-five enlisted men. killed; nineteen officers and two hundred and 
 seventy-six enlisted men wounded; and nine enlisted men missing. The 
 command of the Brigade devolved upon Lieutenant-Colonel H. T. .Mc- 
 Dowell, Colonel Morrell having received a severe wound. 
 
 At one o'clock in the morning of the 27th. we withdrew from our 
 works and marched west to a position near Proctor's Creek, with our lines 
 facing east, remaining until the 26th, during that time making several ad- 
 vances which brought us within easy range of the rebel works, then with- 
 drawing to a refused line of works. We marched at night and reached a 
 point one mile from the Montgomery and West Point Railroad, destroying 
 the road near Fairburn. We marched on the 30th. from seven o'clock in 
 the morning to midnight, bivouacked one mile from Jonesborough, on the 
 Macon and Western Railroad. On the 31st we intrenched our position on 
 the right flank of the line facing south. 
 
 September 2nd, marched near to Lovejoy's Station. On the 6th to our 
 old position near Jonesborough. On the 7th marched to Morrow's Mill. 
 On the 8th reached East Point and camped. The loss of the Brigade dur- 
 ing the campaign has been as follows; Eighteenth Missouri; fifteen enlisted 
 men killed, four officers and forty-eight enlisted men wounded, and one 
 enlisted man missing; Twenty-seventh Ohio, two officers and twenty-six en- 
 listed men killed, fourteen officers and one hundred and sixty-nine enlisted 
 men wounded, and six enlisted men missing; Thirty-ninth Ohio, twenty-four 
 enlisted men killed, eight officers and one hundred and fifty-eight enlisted 
 men wounded and two enlisted men missing; Sixty-fourth Illinois, three 
 officers and forty-three enlisted men killed, eleven officers and one hundred 
 and seventy enlisted men wounded, and nine enlisted men missing.

 Before Atlanta, Ga., July 30, 1864. 
 
 Sir: — In compliance with special field orders, No. 45, from headquar- 
 ters left wing. Sixteenth Army Corps, I have the honor to submit the fol- 
 lowing report of the part taken by this command in the engagement on the 
 22nd hist. : — 
 
 The brigade of which this regiment funned a part on that day was 
 in position in reserve in rear of the Fourth Division of the Seventh Corps. 
 At about 12:30 P. M. the order was sent me by the commanding officer 
 to move into the road and follow the Thirty-ninth Ohio at double-quick 
 to the rear and left, where firing was then heard. This order was executed 
 instantly so far as to set the regiment in march. After passing out of the 
 woods, we came into open fields, on the south side of which the enemy were 
 advancing. After moving across the fields about 400 yards we formed line 
 on the right of the Thirty-ninth Ohio, having double-quicked about a mile 
 One company, under command of Lieutenant (.'harks 11. Smith, was imme- 
 diately thrown forward as skirmishers, when the General commanding di- 
 vision ordered the line forward to the top of the crest in our front. The 
 skirmishers sent forward were driven back almost immediately by the col- 
 umns of the enemy which then advanced in our front. General Fuller gave 
 the order to fix bayonets and charge the enemy. The line moved forward 
 in good style at double-quick, causing the enemy to halt, waver, and finally 
 give way in disorder. We drove them across the field into the timber and 
 over a ridge. In advancing the regiment had to pass through a thicket 
 of briars and willows in the edge of the timber, which somewhat disordered 
 the line. I gave the order to reform before resuming the charge, as I ex- 
 pected to meet the enemy in force after passing the ridge. While doing 
 this a column of the enemy advanced into the field on our right flank and 
 rear, which point was unprotected. Under the circumstances 1 did not 
 deem it prudent to advance further. General Fuller directed me to refuse 
 my right which was promptly done. The enemy still advanced on our right 
 and rear. It was almost impossible to execute a change of front under 
 such a rlank fire as we were sustaining. I ordered the regiment to about 
 face, and make a right wheel, and to fall back behind the ridge to face this 
 new danger. This movement was made in good order considering the 
 difficultv of executing such a movement under a galling fire. I am greatly 
 indebted to General Fuller for his assistance in reforming the line. 
 After this was done the regiment again charged to the top of the hill, and 
 by a few well directed volleys sent the enemy hurling back to the timber, 
 from which they continued to fire on us, though not indicting serious loss, 
 as the men were lying down. We remained in this position until about 
 4:30 p. m., when a new line was formed further to the rear and we were 
 ordered to withdraw to the new alignment which we did in good order. 
 It is proper to add that all the movements above enumerated (after form- 
 ing line) were executed under a constant fire from the front and right 
 dank.

 The losses sustained in the action by the regiment were as follows: 
 Killed, 19 enlisted men; wounded, 6 commissioned officers, and 113 en- 
 Iisted men; aggregate, 138 — a detailed list has already been forwarded. I 
 have the honor to be, captain, very respectfully vour obedient servant,

 Colonel Mendal Churchill made the following notations in a diary 
 which he kept on this march. This diary is invaluable to the members of 
 his regiment, containing as it does many items, incidents and facts of im- 
 portance that took place during the great struggle through the mountain-. 
 Xo doubt it was intended to summarize the matter gathered to incorporate 
 in his official report, but owing to the constant strain, day and night, no 
 opportunity was afforded to complete the work. 
 
 Notations by Lieutenant-Colonel Mendal Churchill, commanding the 
 Twenty-seventh Ohio Regiment Infantry. 
 
 Marietta, Georgia, September 19th, 1864. 
 I submit the following report of the part taken by my command in the 
 campaign from May 1 >t . to September 19th, 1864. 
 
 On Sunday. May 1st, the Twenty-seventh Ohio Regiment numbering 
 five hundred and fifty-seven men for duty, left camp at Decatur, Alabama, 
 crossed the Tennessee River on a pontoon bridge, marched part of the 
 way to Chattanooga and on the 8th, marched to the mouth of Snake Creek 
 dap. We passed through the Gap with the troops of the Fifteenth and 
 Sixteenth Corps, and made a demonstration on Resaca, Georgia. We drove 
 in the outposts of the enemy and then withdrew with our forces to the 
 Gap where we built earthworks. The command bivouacked without tents 
 or blankets. The weather was unseasonably cold with rain. 
 
 On May 13th, the regiment moved with the brigade in light marching 
 and fighting order to the front of Resaca. The troops deployed into bat- 
 tle, three lines deep, with the precision of parade, stretching away in the 
 fields to the left. Our battle flags unfurled, the gleam of arms in the sun- 
 light, and the rattle of musketry along the front, made an imposing battle 
 picture rarely seen even in the army. "I he Twenty-seventh Ohio Regi- 
 ment supported the Fourteenth ( )hio Battery and later in the day supported 
 the Second United States Regular Battery. 
 
 On the 14th, we again supported the Fourteenth Ohio Battery, now 
 located on a high point, overlooking the Camp Creek bottom and the town 
 of Resaca. Our troops from the timber issued and charged and drove 
 the enemy back into the town. The firing was incessant until nine o'clock 
 at night. Constant and heavy skirmishing continued all the next day. ( )n 
 the 16th. we marched in pursuit of the enemy, crossing the Oostanaula at 
 Lay's berry, going via Kingston to Dallas. We skirmished with the enemy 
 up to and through the town, ami bivouacked closed en masse. At sun- 
 
220 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 tise mi the _'7th, our pickets were vigorously assailed. I ordered the bugler 
 to blow the assembly. Two companies, A and F, were sent forward to 
 re-enforce the picket line. Captain Sawyer was killed and Lieutenant Die- 
 bolt was mortall) wounded and died in the evening. The regiment took 
 position to the front and fortified in the timber. Many of the rebel wounded 
 were brought in through our works. 
 
 May 2 ( >{h, we crossed a ravine in our front into a new line of works, 
 nearer the enemy, with constant skirmishing. About ten o'clock at night 
 heavy tiring began on the extreme left, several miles distant, and soon 
 afterward on the extreme right, extending quickly down to us. Our artil- 
 lery in the rear posted on high ground, fired over us, the rebel artillery re- 
 sponded and the air was full of screeching missiles. Fighting ceased at 
 midnight. ( )ur line was attacked the next day and Captain Green of Com- 
 pany E was wi mnded. 
 
 June 1st. at my request, Charles II. Smith of Company I'.. Twenty- 
 seventh Ohio Regiment who was appointed May 17th, by special order 
 Number 41. General James C. Veatch commanding the Division, to serve 
 as assistant commissary of subsistence, on the staff of Captain Kellog, was 
 relieved from that duty to receive promotion and was assigned to Company 
 A. 
 
 On June 1st. we marched toward the left flank to Ackworth, reaching 
 Big Shanty on the 10th. constantly advancing our lines, working all night 
 digging rifle pits and preparing for battle. On June 16th, during heavy 
 firing, First Lieutenant James F. Day of Company K was killed and eight 
 enlisted men were wounded. On the 18th, we lost seven men wounded 
 in the regiment. 
 
 Luring an incessant rain the following night, the rebels evacuated their 
 line in front, into which we moved, to find not only mud but filth. On the 
 20th, we moved forward to higher ground at the base of the Mountain, the 
 Eighteenth Missouri on our right, the Thirty-ninth ( )hio behind them, the 
 Sixty-fourth Illinois in the rear of the Twenty-seventh Ohio. Following 
 the movement, heavy cannonading and infantry firing commenced and lasted 
 until nine o'clock in the evening. 
 
 June 21st, we moved to the front through Colonel Sprague's Brigade 
 and after many changes and alignments, threw up intrenchments connecting 
 with the Thirty-ninth Ohio on our left. On the 22nd, Sergeant Plummer 
 of Company G was killed on the skirmish line and Private Leer was 
 wounded. June 2-lth, one of our men in Company F was killed and two 
 were wounded, during a fierce artillery duel. The concussion to the air 
 made by the continuous firing was painful to endure. It rained almost con- 
 stantly for three weeks. 
 
 June .27th. the Twenty-seventh Ohio Regiment advanced in support of 
 a formidable assault on Little Kenesaw Mountain by our forces. At ten 
 o'clock that night this regiment relieved the Sixty-fourth Illinois high 
 up on the Mountain side. The Sixty-fourth regiment was armed with 
 I bin \ repeating rifles. The ground was so rough and stony and the rebel 
 lire so constanl at short range that the men were obliged frequently to pros- 
 trate themselves prone upon the ground, until its fury was spent and the 
 greatest rare was required. Nearly the whole night was consumed in get-

 ting posted. Captain Hamilton of Company 1, three sergeants and five 
 others of my men were wounded in this movement. Captain Hamilton died 
 a few days afterwards. 
 
 Onr men sought shelter as the trees and rocks afforded. No change 
 of position or movement could be made, because the rebel fire raked the 
 whole face of the mountain. Sergeant Frayly of Company I!, behind a 
 huge boulder was holding his hat to one side of the rock to draw the rebel 
 fire, trying meanwhile to get in his shot from the other side, when he was 
 wounded, as were also James Thomas of Company G and William T. Law- 
 son of Company I!, while trying the same tactics. 
 
 Heavy firing continued until the night of July 3rd. when the enemy 
 evacuated his position on Kenesaw Mountain top, and the flags of our Regi- 
 ment floated first from . the summit. The Regiment marched to Nick-o- 
 jack Creek crossing the creek on the following morning. We drove the 
 enemy back into his works. All the small timber had been cut about three 
 feet from the ground and the tops pointed toward our line, affording the 
 enemy an unobstructed view in his front, and making the approach on his 
 works very difficult. We halted in the standing timber, in the edge of the 
 tangled abbatis, above rescribed, to assault the enemy's works, laying down 
 for protection from the constant fire of the enemy. 
 
 The order to charge was given and countermanded several times during 
 the afternoon, meanwhile a force of 5,000 of the Army of the Tennessee 
 was massed in our rear with the Second Division of the Sixteenth Corps on 
 the right. At six o'clock in the evening, the Twenty-seventh on the left 
 and Thirty-ninth on the right, with fixed bayonets made the charge in good 
 style, not a shot was fired by us in advancing, the first firing being done at 
 the fleeing enemy after the works were reached. We had to face in the 
 assault a direct fire from the works in front and an oblique fire from our 
 right and left. We captured fifty prisoners. The Twenty-seventh lost 
 five men killed and forty-six wounded, including three commissioned officers. 
 The Thirty-ninth Ohio had one man killed and forty-five wounded, includ- 
 ing Colonel Xoyes. The captured works were entirely vacated by the enemy 
 so far as we could see to the ricjit and left. The troops of the Second 
 Division on the right and those on the left, that had formed for the assault, 
 failed to charge with us for some unexplained reason. This was the only 
 fortified line of earthworks captured by assault during the campaign. 
 
 July 7th. Twenty-seventh Ohio with the Division, marched to, and 
 camped at. the Chattahootchee River, on the right flank of our army. The 
 opposing pickets made a truce by which no firing was done by either side 
 for some time and the men of both armies fraternized to the extent of wad- 
 ing the river and exchanging coffee for tobacco. On witnessing the move- 
 ment for the withdrawal of our line, the rebel asked if we were going, and 
 being answered in the affirmative, shouted "Goodbye Yanks!", and did not 
 fire a shot. 
 
 July 10th, after two days of marching in excessive heat and dust, we 
 forded the Chattahoochee River at Rosswell on the extreme left of Sher- 
 man's Army, and bivouacked on the south side, remaining until the 16th 
 engaged in fortifying. On the 17th we moved toward Atlanta and drove 
 back the rebel cavalry, and, while passing through Decatur, we were shelled 
 
222 Fuller's Ohio Brigadi 
 
 by the enemy. On the 20th, skirmished with the enemy. On the 21st 
 we took po'sition in the rear of Giles A. Smith's Division of the Seventeenth 
 I orps, from which place the church steeples and many prominent houses in 
 Atlanta could he seen. On the 22nd, al about 12:30 p. m., the order was 
 >ent me by the commanding officer to follow in the road and move with the 
 Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiment at a double quick to the rear and left, where 
 firing was then heard. This order was executed instantly — many asking 
 the question, "What is the cause of that firing?" After passing out of the 
 woods we came into open fields, on the south side of which the enemy was 
 advancing. After moving across the fields about four hundred yards, we 
 formed line on the right of the Thirty-ninth ( ihio Regiment, having double- 
 quicked about a mile. By my order Company A. under command of Lieu- 
 tenant Charles II. Smith, was thrown forward a- skirmishers, while the 
 enemy was advancing in the open field. General Fuller commanding the 
 Division, ordered the men to fix bayonets and wait before charging until the 
 enemy should march half way across the open field, then to rise, fire a valley 
 and charge the enemy, but Lieutenant Smith, having just came from the 
 front with the skirmishers and knowing their position, said it was besl u< 
 strike the enemy quickly and before they were all out of the woods to form 
 a solid line, and he ran along the line ordering a charge. The color bearer 
 sprang to the front with the colors, the line moved forward in good style. 
 over the crest in our front.' at double-quick, causing the enemy to halt, 
 waver, and finally to give way in disorder. This charge proved our salva- 
 tion. We drove the enemy across the field and over a ridge. 
 
 In advancing, this regiment had to pass through a thicket of briars and 
 willows in the edge of the timber, which somewhat disordered the line. I 
 gave the order to re-form, resuming the charge. While doing this a column 
 of the enemy 'advanced into the field on our right flank and rear which 
 point was unprotected. My right was promptly refused, the enemy still 
 advancing. It was almost impossible to execute a change of front under such 
 a flank fire as we were sustaining. 1 ordered the regiment to make a right 
 wheel, then fall back behind the ridge to face the new danger. This move- 
 ment was made in good order considering the difficulties of executing such 
 a movement under a galling fire. 
 
 After this was done the regiment again charged to the top of the hill, 
 and by a few well-directed volleys, sent the enemy back to the timber from 
 which they continued to tire on us. While the men were lying down, man} 
 were shot in the head. We remained in this position until four o'clock in 
 the afternoon, when we were ordered to withdraw to a new line in the rear. 
 All the above movements were made and executed under a constant fire from 
 the front and right flank. The losses sustained in this battle by the regi- 
 ment during the four hours it was under fire were as follows; one hundred 
 and thirty-eight killed or wounded including six commissioned officers. At 
 the beginning of the battle we numbered about three hundred and fifty men. 
 No company went into the fight with more than two commissioned officers 
 arul some companies had lint one. The regiment formed its first line, and 
 made all subsequent movements under fire, foughl a stand up. open field 
 fight, without protection of any kind, with its flanks uncovered and sub- 
 jected to a front and intilading fire in even position occupied. 
 
Courage Shown by Veterans. 223 
 
 It was just after the regiment had changed front and the men were 
 lying down and firing, that I raised to my feet to give an order and was 
 struck with a minnie ball, which passed through all my clothing cutting the 
 skin. The wound became quite painful. I turned the command over to 
 Captain Lynch and went to the rear to have the wound dressed. A metal 
 button had turned the ball sideways and no doubt by that my life was 
 saved. 1 became very sick and faint, but being refreshed by a drink of 
 water, I soon returned to the regiment. Just at this time, General Fuller 
 took the flag of the Twenty-seventh ( Ihio, carried it to the front and led 
 the last charge which drove the enemy to final defeat. 
 
 This was the hardest fought battle of the campaign and the whole cam 
 paign will rank in history as one of the most brilliant and remarkable of 
 the war. Fighting was continued for four months across mountains and 
 rivers, a distance of one hundred and sixty-one miles, making many flank 
 movements during that time. The Federal forces occupied the battle field, 
 and finished burying the dead on the 23rd. All wagons and ambulances 
 were sent away preparatory to a grand flank movement to the right. Mov- 
 ing from our works at midnight on the 27th. canteens and accoutrements 
 were muffled by the men so that they would not rattle and attract the at- 
 tention cf the enemy. We were the last to leave the picket lines. We passed 
 to the rear of the Fourth, Fourteenth and Twentieth Corps to the extreme 
 right of the Army, to the west of Atlanta. In the evening we moved for- 
 ward under fire to get into position. On the 28th. we advanced and fortified 
 cur position on the picket line. 
 
 Or. September 2nd, 1864, Atlanta was occupied by Union Troop--. 
 
 On August 10th, the regiment was ordered to Marietta and bivouacked 
 near the town on the Rosswell Road. The entire loss of the regiment during 
 the campaign in killed and wounded was fifteen commissioned officers and 
 two hundred and two enlisted men and two missing — Total two hundred and 
 nineteen. August 14th. I was detailed to take a guard from the non-veter- 
 ans and proceed to Chattanooga with prisoners. I returned to Marietta 
 and remained until Atlanta was occupied by our troops. On the 19th of 
 September. 1 turned the command over to Captain Nichols and issued the 
 following farewell order to the regiment :

 Marietta, Georgia, September 19th, 1864. 
 
 "In taking leave of the officers and soldiers of this regiment, with 
 whom I have so long been associated and whom I have had the honor to 
 command for the past eight months, I do so with many regrets, and cannot 
 leave without tendering you my sincere thanks for the alacrity and cheerful- 
 ness with which you have obeyed every order and seconded me in my efforts 
 to maintain the good reputation of the regiment and to add new laurels to 
 its fame. 
 
224 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 "You endured every hardship and braved every danger incident to the 
 long, anions and bloody campaign just terminated, with a heroic self-sacri 
 fice and devotion that may have been equalled by other commands, but 
 could be excelled by none. 
 
 "At Resaca, Dallas, Big Shanty and Kennesaw Mountain, you proved 
 yourselves trusty and reliable soldiers, never shrinking from any duty or 
 danger. 
 
 "On the 4th of July, you stormed the enemy's works at Nick-o-jack 
 Creek, and by your irresistible unset carried them at the point of the 
 bayonet. 
 
 "( In the 22nd of July, you fought largely superior numbers, and at great 
 disadvantage, and were repeatedly flanked, but by your indomitable pluck. 
 you held your ground against great odds, with a courage and steadiness 
 never shown but by veterans. It is an honor to any man to command such 
 troops. 
 
 "While exulting over our successes, let us not forget to drop a passing 
 tear for, and hold sacred the memory of those of our comrades who have 
 fallen in battle, in defence of the common liberties of all. 
 
 "While commanding you, it has been my constant aim to mete out 
 equal and exact justice to all, and do what I deem best for the interest of 
 the whcle command. 
 
 "Trusting that in the future you may win new laurels, and go forward 
 in the suppression of this wicked, wanton and unnatural rebellion, until the 
 hosts of the enemy are compelled to lay down their arms and our govern- 
 ment is re-established throughout the length and breadth of this broad 
 land, I bid you all an affectionate farewell." 
 
 I returned to my home in Ohio broken down in health.

 Near Jonesborough, Georgia, September 6th., 1864. 
 
 On May 1st, 1864, the regiment moved from Decatur. Alabama, as a 
 part of the Second Brigade, Fourth Division, Left Wing, Sixteenth Army 
 ("Mips, ( '.eneral Dodge commanding. Crossing the Tennessee River and 
 turning east, the regiment proceeded via Huntsville, to Woodville on May 
 4th. Arriving at Chattanooga by rail the next day. we marched at once to 
 the south to Rossville, Georgia, and thence to Gordon's Mills. Turning 
 easl on the night of the 7th. from the vicinity of La Fayette, the regiment 
 having the advance, seized the pass known as Ship's Gap, and moved the 
 next day with the command into Snake Creek' < lap. We participated with- 
 out casuahty in the reconnaissance before Resaca on May 9th. 
 
Colonel Swayne's Report. 225 
 
 When tht' demonstration on Resaca was resumed the regiment did 
 duty in the front line, on .May 13th, and part of the 14th, south of the town, 
 and afterward until after the evacuation, north of the town, in support of 
 the Fifteenth Corps. This service was severe, the men remaining in line 
 and relieving each other as skirmishers almost without intermission for 
 four days. In the performance of this duty. Lieutenants C. McCaffry and 
 J. W. Thompson received flesh wounds, and of the enlisted men four were 
 killed and eighteen wounded, whose names are in the report of casualties. 
 
 Ihe skirmishers of this regiment were of the first who entered the 
 village of Resaca. The regiment reached Kingston on May 19th. Company 
 K, under Captain J. H. Roads was detailed to guard the ordinance train, 
 remaining on that duty until June 21st. On May 25th, the regiment entered 
 Dallas and took position in line, and maintained a detail of two companies 
 of skirmishers until the withdrawal of the army from before that place 
 on the morning of June 1st. We suffered a loss of Lieutenant Milo Wilkin- 
 son who was mortally wounded, and of nine enlisted men wounded. 
 
 The Fourth Division being detailed to guard trains, the regiment re- 
 mained on the right flank of the army until June 6th, when it marched to 
 Ackworth. On June 10th, we participated in the gradual advance upon 
 Kenesaw Mountain, without severe loss, ten enlisted men being the ag- 
 gregate of casualties after leaving Dallas until July 3rd. On Jul}- 4th. 
 leaving the front of Kenesaw Mountain, we moved with the command to 
 the right flank of the army, developed the enemy's skirmish line near Ruff's 
 Mills and reached the Chattahootchee River on July 7th. in the vicinity 
 of Turner's Ferry. The following two days were employed in marching 
 east via Marietta to Rosswell, near which place, on the afternoon of the 
 10th, the command forded the Chattahootchee River and fortified a tete- 
 de-pont. 
 
 On July 17th, the regiment was detached to remain at Rosswell. and 
 hold the bridge, and the ford over the Chattahootchee. Until the 22nd. 
 Company G, temporarily commanded by Lieutenant Robert McNary was 
 detached for the protection of the supply train. It moved to the vicinity of 
 Decatur, arriving there just after the brilliant defense of that village by 
 the rest of the Brigade, under General John W. Sprague. 
 
 Re-entering Decatur, and assisting in destroying the Augusta Rail- 
 road, on the morning of July 22nd, this regiment with five companies of the 
 Ninth Illinois Regiment, mounted Infantry, and one section of Battery C. 
 of the First Michigan Artillery, all under my command, left Rosswell. 
 escorting a train of four hundred wagons of the train of the Army of the 
 Tennessee. As the advance of the train neared Decatur, it was discovered 
 that the enemy was cannonading the village, and afterward that he was 
 in possession of it. The head of the train was turned to the right, down a 
 cross r ad, leading to the rear of the 23rd Corps, except a small portion 
 belonging to the Seventeenth Corps, which moving with difficulty, was 
 turned to the right down by a road a mile further to the rear. At the 
 crossing first-named, the troops distributed through the train ami disposed 
 for defence, except three companies of the Ninth Illinois, which moved to 
 assist Colonel Sprague, with his Brigade, retiring from Decatur by the 
 same road. The entire train i>assc.-<l in safety, and the enemy, making no

 demonstration, my command followed it a quarter of a mile, when we re- 
 joined the brigade already in position. 
 
 July 26th, the regiment moved with the command to the right of the 
 main army, and took its place in the main line. During frequent skirmish- 
 ing and pioneer duty for tour weeks, we suffered an aggregate of casualties 
 of two men killed, sixteen wounded and -even missing, the latter on the oc- 
 casion of an advance of the whole line on the 4th of August. 
 
 The regiment was withdrawn on the 24th of August, and employed that 
 night and the next day in constructing earthworks to serve as a flank line 
 during the withdrawal of the army. The regiment moved via Campbellton, 
 and helped destroy the Atlantic and Montgomery Railroad, near Fairburn, 
 August 29th, and the next evening reached the vicinity of Jonesborough. 
 where it was present but not engaged. 
 
 During the operations, on September 2nd. the regiment assisted in the 
 destruction of the Atlantic and Macon Railroad, and camped near Love- 
 joy's There on the day following, after four months of labor, dangers 
 and exposures, which had not impaired its patriotism, nor exhausted it- 
 strength, it welcomed an order officially announcing the close of the cam- 
 paign that had already yielded the fruition of its hopes. 
 
 I wish to refer to the faithfulness of Lieutenant-Colonel. W. E, Her- 
 rick. Captain John S. Hamilton and Lieutenant John P. Kennedy. Adjutant, 
 all continually on duty when often suffering from actual disease. Captain 
 J. 11. Roads, when there was but one field officer with the regiment, re- 
 lieved me with cordial and efficient service. Captain Peter Hewston. when 
 both the medical officers of the regiment had been removed for duty else- 
 where, gave to my great relief, hi- efficient service, and as acting assistant 
 surgeon, Reverend R. Z. Chittenden. Chaplain, has been unwearied in all 
 the kindly usefulness of his calling. ( Inly the necessity that mention here 
 be special, prevents a list of others who met the trying requirements of the 
 campaign with a full measure of performance. 
 
 \ high tribute is due to the suffering and the dead. The last sacrifice 
 to freedom has been freely made, and wounds just less than death have 
 been borne as brave men can. Last winter all but a fraction of the enlisted 
 men renewed their pledge of service, knowing all its meaning. In carrying 
 out all that pledge, the hard trials of war have been met freely, but these 
 only have been called to show it with their bodies and their lives. More 
 than this cannot be written. I append a consolidated report of casualties. 
 showing an aggregate loss of three officers and seventy-two men killed, 
 wounded and missing, during the campaign.

 At about one o'clock in the afternoon, four companies: A, Captain 
 Frank S. Gillmore, First Lieutenant Louis Schmidt; D. Captain William 
 Cornell and G. Captain George Whitman, were ordered to report to Colonel 
 Montgomery of the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin Infantry at Hoyle's House. 
 where they formed a detatchment of the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin and moved 
 half a mile out on the Fayetteville Road and formed line facing west, left 
 resting on road. Company D deployed a- skirmishers. The enemy opened 
 fire from the woods about four hundred yards in front and at two o'clock 
 in the afternoon, opened with one piece of artillery upon the picket line, on 
 the McDonough Road, when tinder orders from Colonel Sprague, the com 
 mand was moved by the left flank to take position in support of the line. 
 During this movement, while passing a deep ravine in single file, the enemy 
 opened fire upon the command with two batteries, one in front and the 
 other on the left flank. At the same time, charged from the same points, 
 when our men reformed, faced to the rear, and after a sharp fight, fell hack- 
 to join main line on ridge south and west of tin- town, near Hoyle's House 
 Companv F. Lieutenant Thomas J. McCotd and Companv K. Contain 
 Daniel T. Thorn, were on the grand guard line. At one o'clock in the 
 
230 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 afternoon, their outposts were attacked, E by cavalry and K 1>\ artillery. 
 The attack by Cavalry was repulsed. The enemy then advanced with two 
 lines of skirmishers and a line of battle, when under orders from Lieutenant- 
 Colonel Henry, Thirty-fifth New Jersey Infantry, it fell back fighting until 
 it reached the railroad, when the enemy pressed upon it with very superior 
 force and with such vigor as to cause the companies of men to separate in 
 squads. Company B, Lieutenant L. J. .Mathews and Company I. Captain 
 Winslow L. Hay, while supporting a section of Company C, hirst Michigan 
 Light Artillery, were tired upon with artillery and charged with so much 
 superior force in front and upon their right flank, as to cause them tc 
 fall back. Company I, Lieutenant James A. Gilmore, was on provost duty 
 in Decatur, formed in the public square and met the enemy, fell back fight- 
 ing and m good order to the ridge north of town, where deploying as skir- 
 mishers in front and on the left Hank protected the disarranged parts of the 
 brigade which were being rallied on the ridge. Company II. Lieutenant 
 Charles M. Harrison commanding, was the only company left in camp. 
 This company and the camp guard took position to the right of section of 
 Chicago Board of Trade Lattery. The enemy advanced in greatly superior 
 force, and it became necessary for the battery to retire. While retiring, 
 the battery became entangled in a heap of old iron, and was in danger 
 of being captured. In order to save the battery. Company G, which had 
 formed on the left of battery, and Company H fixed bayonets and made a 
 determined charge on the advancing line of the enemy, causing him to fall 
 back to the railroad and giving the battery time to get off, and giving a large 
 wagon train of the Fifteenth Corps time to leave the field, which but for 
 this charge would have fallen into the bands of the enemy. These com- 
 panies under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles E. Brown, then fell 
 back in good order to Court Square. Adjutant Howard Forrer was killed 
 during this movement. The other companies of the regiment, coming in 
 at this time, were rallied and formed on the south side of Court Square, 
 with part of the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin Infantry and held the ground 
 until completely Hanked on right and left, when we were ordered to fall 
 back to the ridge north of the town. In rallying the regiment at this point, 
 Lieutenant-Colonel Brown was severely wounded and carried from the 
 field. The enemy continued the attack with a much superior force in front 
 ami on both flanks and obliged us to fall back to the cover of the woods 
 and we took position with the rest id' the brigade. The casualties in the 
 regiment were: Commissoned officers and men killed, eleven; wounded, 
 forty-eight; missing, thirty-seven. With very few exceptions, both officers 
 and men displayed unusual gallantry and courage. Of the enlisted men. 
 I would make special mention of the following for unusual bravery, perse- 
 verance and success in rallying the disorganized portions of the regiment, 
 viz: Madison Hoon, Sergeant-Major; Andrew Smith. First Sergeant Com 
 pany B; Alexander C. Harper, Sergeant Company A: George W. Rike, 
 Sergeant Company C; Chester M. Willson, Sergeant Company 1). Stuart 
 Martindale, Sergeant Company E; Franklin Worthen, Color-Sergeant, 
 Company (A and Alonzo J. Shnman, private, Company D, who when the 
 banner bearer (Corporal William Harris, Company C) was shot dead. 
 picked up the banner, waxed it above his head and called upon the men to 
 
Major Fout's Report. 231 
 
 stand by him for he would die before our banner should fall into rebel 
 hands. 
 
 July 23rd, we re-occupied Decatur, moved west of the town, and for- 
 tified our position and assisted in destroying the Atlanta and Augusta Rail- 
 road. July 25th, reformed our Fourth Division and went into position in 
 reserve. July 26th, moved during the night toward the right of the army. 
 July 27th, continued our march and arrived at the extreme right, moved 
 in line of battle one mile, darkness coming on we halted and fortified. July 
 28th, moved to the front, two hundred yards and fortified. July 30th, 
 moved to the right and relieved a Division of the Seventeenth Corps. Au-

 In Front of Resaca, Georgia, Mas 18th, 1864. 
 
 Sir: I have the honor to report to your excellency the part taken by 
 my regiment, under my command, in the action of Resaca. on the 13th, 
 14th and 15th of May, 1864. Between the hours of three and four, in the 
 
232 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 afternoon of May loth, the regiment funned in the third line of battle on 
 the right of General Morgan L. Smith's command, advancing in line over 
 fences and up a wooded hill, crossing ravines, hardly passable for mounted 
 officers. My regiment cleared the fences and woodland at a double quick 
 time, coining out on an open plain facing the ( lostenaula River, aboul two 
 mile-, above Resaca. The regiment had hardly cleared the woods when two 
 rebel regiments opened a brisk fusilade fire on us. I immediately gave the 
 command to commence firing, not however, before I had three or four men 
 wounded. 
 
 1 wo lines of battle were before me when 1 entered the woods, but 
 somehow, through the nature of the ground, I got to the extreme front. 
 The firing lasted about fifteen minutes when both the rebel regiments gave 
 way and ran. Then 1 withdrew my regiment under cover ot the woods, 
 on account of a regiment on my left giving way. and 1. thinking myself 
 flanked, otherwise 1 would have charged upon the retreating rebel regi- 
 ments. In this day's action, I lost one killed and thirteen wounded. My 
 own and Lieutenant (Acting Adjutant) Pierson's horses were wounded. 
 The enemy giving way in this quarter, we moved to the left and supported 
 our batteries. Our position was under two fires, the enemy's shells bursting 
 over us, and our own shot tearing limbs of trees to splinters above our heads, 
 which became dangerous for our men. Here I lost several wounded, as two 
 of my companies, E and I were out skirmishing under command of Cap- 
 tain Charles A. Angell my Acting Major, on the river front. 
 
 On the morning of the 14th, we left our position of supporting bat- 
 teries for Resaca. We crossed a bridge under the rebel works, where we 
 received a deadlv fire, from artillery and infantry, under cover of rifle pits. 
 Here we lost one man killed and another wounded. Seeing the danger. 
 1 ordered my men under cover. At that moment, our right center under 
 General Morgan L. Smith, being repulsed, I was ordered with my regiment. 
 to his support, passing to the right, under the rebel works. After arriving 
 on the new position assigned me, the Thirty-fifth gave three rousing cheers, 
 tending to inspire our troops in front with fresh energy, when the rebels 
 "pencil a cross tire of shot and shell upon us as we advanced, but for- 
 tunately we escaped, with one man wounded. At nine o'clock in the even- 
 ing we threw up intrenchments, wliere we lay safe behind them on the 
 following day, delivering a murderous fire, and repulsing every attempt 
 made by the rebels to advance. During the night the rebels evacuated 
 Resaca. and Captain Angell witli two companies under his command, en- 
 tered the town, wdiich duty he performed admirably, capturing thirty rebels 
 and two mails, one to and one from their army which they did nut have 
 time to assort. In respect to the behavior of my regiment during this ac- 
 tion, I cannot find words to express m\ satisfaction. Officers and men tried 
 to outdo each other in gallant behavior, especially Captain Charles \n;;ell. 
 Acting Major, and Lieutenant David Pierson, Acting Adjutant. To both 
 of these officers, great honor is due. 1 not alone recommend them to your 
 excellency, but the whole regiment to a man. acting like a body of soldiers 
 grown old in battle. T feel as proud of them as Napoleon did of his "I lid 
 Guard." They have earned and won for themselves a gallant name among 
 our western troops in the department and Army of the Tennessee. 
 
Colonel Cladek's Report. 233 
 
 In the engagement with the enemy at Decatur, Georgia, July 22nd, 
 1864, my regiment being camped in the lower part of the town, on left 
 flank, at the commencement of the conflict, we marched to the railroad as 
 the heaviest firing appeared to be there, but hardly had 1 reached that 
 point and formed line of battle, when I became hotly engaged with the 
 enemy, the regiment on my right having been driven across the railroad, 
 thus having my right flank exposed. At the same time, the enemy's cavalry 
 and infantry got between our picket line and left flank of my regiment. 
 Seeing that I would be shortly cut off, and not receiving orders, although 
 checking the enemy for the time being in my immediate front, I retreated 
 up the hill about fifty yards, and immediately faced about and commenced 
 firing. Knowing that it depended on my regiment to cover the left of the 
 brigade, I sent a company to the left, between the houses and the field. 
 At this time, the regiment on my right again fell back, with the exception 
 of Captain Gillmore, Sixty-third Ohio, with a number of his men. who kept 
 on our right flank. 
 
 Captain Sine, Company E, whom I sent to the left to cover my flank, 
 at once became hotly engaged, being again forced to fall back, step bv step. 
 and contesting with the enemy for every foot of ground lost. The men of 
 my regiment cheered lustily, which caused the enemy to feel their wav 
 more cautiously into town. At this time I changed front to the rear to re- 
 sisl an attack upon my left about being made, but seeing our batterv and in- 
 fantry 'ailing back more rapidly than expected, I worked my wav up to 
 the public si|iiare to cover the artillery. At this time the ammunition of my 
 regiment became exhausted, and the order was to follow slowly on. 
 
 \s to recommending officers and men for good behavior, it would be 
 difficult for me to discriminate, as all my orders were promptly and cheer- 
 fully obeyed. Lieutenant-Colonel Henry, being field officer of the day, T 
 was deprived of his valuable services. Lieutenant David Pierson acted 
 with his usual coolness. Captain Rowell, Company's K. Dayton, C. Car- 
 man, F. Sine, E, Lieutenant Harmon, I, Crowell, A, all these officers show- 
 ins; great gallantry. In fact, the officer of my regiment showed no signs 
 of giving up the contest without making the enemy pay dearly. Captain 
 Dusenberry. Company I, and Lieutenant Oliphant, Company D. with their 
 commands were captured while upon picket duty, losing all but nine men.

 Lieutenant-Colonel William A. Henry. Thirty-fifth Xew Jersey Vet- 
 eran Volunteer Infantry, in his report to the Adjutant-General, W. A. 
 Williams of the Fourth Division. Sixteenth Army Corps, dated near East 
 point, Georgia, says, that on the first day of May, the regiment marched 
 from Decatur, Alabama, to Woodville, and thence by rail to Chattanooga, 
 marched to Resaca. and on the ninth, advanced on that town. 
 
 The regiment took part in the action at Dallas. Big Shanty. Kenesaw 
 Mountain and Nick-o-jack. \Ye re-entered Decatur and intrenched. On 
 
234 Fuller's < )hio Brig \m 
 
 tlie 24th, we marched to the front of Atlanta, and took position in rifle pits. 
 Un the night of the 26th, we marched to the right, skirmished with the 
 enemy, and took position, losing one man killed. On the 28th, we re-en- 
 torced the fifteenth Corps, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, became 
 hotl) engaged with the enemy, who advanced upon us seven times, and 
 each time was repulsed, owing no doubt to the tact that we were posted 
 on the edge of the woods and entrenched behind logs and rails. Our loss 
 u as five wounded. 
 
 ( hi August 7th. we advanced our position and finished the rifle pit-*. 
 On the 8th, we worked all night throwing up works, were relieved and 
 returned to camp, where a shell from the enemy exploded, killing three and 
 wounding four men. ( )n the 11th, we advanced our line driving the enemy's 
 pickets out of their pits. We lost two men wounded. On the 25th. we 
 marched as train guard of the Sixteenth Army Corps, and owing to Mime 
 mistake in orders, found ourselves on the night of that day entirely outside 
 of our extreme right flank pickets, where we encamped with thirty wagons. 
 I caused trees to be felled, forming an abatis, and extra pickets to be posted, 
 and otherwise taking all the precautions thai 1 deemed necessary to insure 
 our safety. On the 26th, we rejoined the main train, with which we con- 
 tinued to do duty until September 8th. 
 
 1 would state that the conduct of the officers and men of this com- 
 mand, has been all that could be desired. In the hour of danger and battle 
 they have shown the must determined bravery and cheerful obedience, 
 which is so necessary to success. ( )f Colonel Cladek (now absent on duty, 
 but in command of the regiment through most of the campaign i I must 
 say that his good judgment, habits of discipline, careful attention to the 
 wants ot those under his command, and his cool determined bravery on the 
 field of battle, thus giving a noble example to his officers and men, has 
 proved him to be an efficient and accomplished officer. 
 
 ( >ur loss was eighteen killed and eighty wounded and forty-one miss- 
 ing.

CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 Movement of the Confederate Army Northward. 
 
 On the 21st of September, the Confederate General Hood shifted his 
 army across from the Macon Road at Lovejoy's, to the West Point Road 
 at Palmetto Station, and his Cavalry appeared on the west side of the 
 Chattahootchee River, near Powder Springs. By October 1st, nearly all 
 his army was across and he was on his raid north. Slocum was ordered 
 to hold Atlanta and the bridges of the Chattahoochee, with the Twentieth 
 Corps, and the other Corps were put in motion for Marietta. Georgia. 
 General Thomas was despatched to Chattanooga with Xewton's and Mor- 
 gan's Divisions. 
 
 ( Uir army crossed the Chattahootchee River on the 3rd and 4th of 
 October, and the next day. reached Kenesaw Mountain, from which place 
 signal messages were sent over the heads of the enemy. The rebel Gen- 
 eral Wheeler was in middle Tennessee. Forrest was on his way to the same 
 theater for the purpose of breaking up our railroads and compelling us to 
 fall back from our conquests. Corse's Division was sent to Rome, Rous- 
 seau to Nashville, Granger to Decatur, and Stedman to Chattanooga, to 
 adopt active measures to insure the safety of our roads. 
 
 The Fifteenth Corps under Osterhouse, the Seventeenth under Ran- 
 som and the Fourth under Cox, were turned toward Resaca. Among a 
 group of Rebel prisoners on this raid, one was heard to say, "Well, the 
 Yanks wil' have to get up and get, now, for they say that Wheeler lias 
 blown up the tunnel near Dalton, and the Yanks will have to retreat, be- 
 cause they can get no more rations." "Oil, hell!" said a listener, "don't 
 you know that General Sherman carries a duplicate tunnel along?" 
 
 ( >n September 25th, Jeff Davis, President of the Southern Confederacy, 
 was with General Hood at Palmetto Station on the West Point Railroad. 
 One of our spies was there at the time and heard his speech to the soldiers, 
 in which he denounced his General, Joseph E. Johnston and Governor 
 Brown of Georgia, as traitors, attributing to them personally, the many 
 misfortunes which had befallen their campaign. He seemed completely 
 unbalanced in his mind by the fall of Atlanta. With vain, glorious boasts, 
 he told the soldiers that now the tables were to be turned, that General 
 Forrest was already on the road to Middle Tennessee, and that Ho 
 Army would soon be there, lie asserted that the Yankee Army would have 
 
238 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 to retreat or starve, and that the retreal would be more disastrous than that 
 of Napoleon from Moscow. 
 
 "1 cannot re-enforce Hood for fear Grant will take Richmond, and 1 
 
 ramn >t re-enforce Lee for fear Sherman will overrun the Southern Con 
 federacy." Besides he claimed that two-thirds of our army were deserters. 
 
 The Confederate General Beauregard came from Virginia to command 
 
 II 1'- Arm)' and issued a call for the enlistment of men in words full of 
 
 alarm and desperation. He said in part: "My countrymen, respond to this 
 call as you have done in days that have passed, and with the blessings of a 
 kind and overruling providence, the enemy shall be driven from your soil. 
 The security of your wives and daughters from insults and outrages of a 
 brutal foe shall be established soon, and be followed by a permanent and 
 I ii mi irable peace." 
 
 ( In ( (ctober 3rd, 1864, the Twenty-seventh Ohio was temporarily un- 
 der command of General McArthur, and with the Forty-fifth Illinois moved 
 out of .Marietta for a reconnaissance beyond Kent-saw .Mountain. ( )n Oc- 
 tober 4th, Genera] McArthur sent Captain Charles II. Smith to the front 
 with Companies A, F and D, of the Twenty-seventh Ohio. After oc- 
 cupying an old line of earthwork, built by the Seventeenth Corps at the 
 time of the Union Army's advance upon Kenesaw Mountain, in July, the 
 men double-quicked to the second line, further out. This brought the men 
 to the wrong side of the ditch, but it was good protection against bullets. 
 Only a few Confederates were in the pits opposite, when our three com- 
 panies arrived, but a whole brigade of them rapidl) filed in and gave battle. 
 
 While the firing was heavy, the men lay flat upon the ground, at the 
 same time an officer i Major Morrison i came up and saluted, saying he was 
 a volunteer officer on General McArthur's staff and he wanted to see what 
 we had developed. Captain Smith advised him to dismount for safety, as 
 the enemy was making a target of him. After dismounting he was re- 
 quested to protect himself behind the earthworks. This he would not do, 
 
 but took out his field glass and Si 1 looking at the enemy's line. A 
 
 bullet --truck him in the shoulder and he fell. With two men, Captain Smith 
 assisted him to mount, and though very weak and with one arm helpless, 
 he rude hack to our lines, where he suffered the amputation of his arm. 
 
 \fter a few hours, the reconnaissance being accomplished, the thre< 
 companies were withdrawn. General McArthur personally complimented 
 them for their efficiency. The enemy were repulsed all along the line at 
 Kenesaw. 
 
 While in the trenches, the Confederates commenced cheering fur Mc- 
 Clellan, a man known and designated a- the "Copperhead" candidate for 
 President. The Union soldiers replied with cheers fur Lincoln. 
 
 I 
 
Repulse of the Enemy at Allatoona. 239 
 
 At the foot of the mountain, in the month of November, the members 
 of the ( >hio Regiments of the First Division, voted for presidential candi- 
 dates. I 'resident Lincoln receiving nearly all the votes cast. 
 
 Genera] Hood's Confederate Army was now moving north toward 
 Allatoona. where there were large amounts of Union Army supplies stored, 
 besides a million and a half of rations. General Sherman's Army followed 
 and occupied the country about Big Shanty and Kenesaw Mountain, 
 stretching from the Chattahootchee River. General Sherman with the 
 Signal Corps occupied the top of the mountain for a number of hours, and 
 the writer saw him receive a dispatch from General Corse, then holding 
 Allatoona, and also heard him instruct the signal officer to reply to General 
 Corse, that famous order, "Hold on! We are coming." In the meantime 
 the Confederate forces under French, attacked Corse's position at Alla- 
 toona, but they were repulsed with great loss. From the mountain, the 
 movements and lines of both armies could be easily distinguished by the 
 blue smoke of the firing lines during the day and by the camp fire- at 
 night. 
 
 October 21st, 1864, General Joseph A. Mower was assigned to com- 
 mand the First Division in the Seventeenth Corps. 
 
 The Thirty-ninth, Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio with the First 
 Division, remained at East Point until the 4th, and then marched with the 
 army in pursuit of Hood, moving by way of Marietta, Big Shanty, Kings- 
 ton and Resaca, driving the rebel army down Lookout Valley and across 
 the i oosa River. On the 16th, they took part in the action at Snake Creek 
 Cap, and with another column of the Seventeenth Corps, carried the Gap, 
 capturing the Twenty-fourth South Carolina Regiment. This campaign 
 was one of the severest kind. The men were on half rations, consisting of 
 bread and fresh beef, the result of the cutting of our "cracker line" by the 
 enemy. 
 
 When the Confederate forces approached Resaca, General Hood de- 
 manded its surrender in the following words : 
 
 October 12th. 1864. 
 To the officer commanding the United States forces at Resaca, Georgia: 
 
 Sir : I demand the immediate and unconditional surrender of the post 
 and garrison under your command. If this is acceded to. all white officers 
 and soldiers will be parolled in a few days. If the place is carried by as- 
 sault, no prisoners will be taken. 
 
 Most respectfully, your obedient servant. 
 
 J. B. Hood. 
 To this Colonel Weaver replied : 
 
240 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 Headquarters of the Second Brigade, Third Division, Fifteenth Corp-. 
 
 Resaca, < ieorgia. 
 
 To Genual J. B. Hood: September 12th, 1864. 
 
 ifour communication of this date has jusl lieen received. In reply I 
 have to state that I am somewhat surprised at the concluding paragraph to 
 the effect that if the place is carried by assault, no prisoners will be taken. 
 In my opinion. I can hold this post. If you want it. come and take it. 
 
 I am, General, very respectfully your most obedient servant, 
 
 i i vrk R. Weaver, Commanding Officer. 
 
 Weaver's Brigade was verj small, but Hood, admonished by his losses 
 at Allatoona, did not attempt to assault, but limited his attack to some 
 skirmishing and the above threat. 
 
 At Ship's Gap, Sherman received a cipher despatch from the authori- 
 ties at Washington, intimating their willingness for him to undertake the 
 march across Georgia to the sea. Ossabaw Sound, below Savannah, was the 
 point where the fleet would await the arrival of his army. We followed 
 Hood's Army down the Chattanooga Valley to Gasden, but halted our main 
 army at the Coosa River, drawing our supplies of bacon, corn and pro- 
 visions of all kinds from the rich farms of thai comparatively rich valley 
 and as far down as below Atlanta, so that Hood's efforts to cut off our 
 supplies only reacted on his own people. 
 
 General John A. Logan and Frank P. Blair were absent during this pur- 
 suit, but about this time, General Blair rejoined and assumed command of 
 the Seventeenth Corps. 
 
 Hood's Army was located at LaFayette, but he escaped down the val- 
 lev of the Chattahooga. On October 26th, Hood's Army now under the 
 command of Beauregard, drew off from Decatur, Alabama, and marched 
 to a point on the Tennessee River, opposite Florence, where he remained a 
 month to collect supplies for his contemplated invasion of Kentucky and 
 Tennessee. During this time he crossed the Tennessee and captured two 
 Union gun boats and five transports. General Thomas was provided with 
 ample force to meet Hood, equal to every and any emergency. He had at 
 Nashville, ten thousand new troops and as many more civil employees of the 
 Quartermaster's Department, which were not suited for the field, but would 
 be most useful in manning the excellent forts that already covered Nash- 
 ville. He had General Stedman's five thousand. Granger's four thousand. 
 and Rousseau's five thousand men near Florence watching the crossing of 
 the Tennessee River, Hatch's Division of Cavalry, four thousand, Crox- 
 ton's ana Capron's Brigades, thirty-seven hundred, besides General Wilson 
 had collected at Nashville about ten thousand dismounted cavalry and was 
 collecting horses for a remount, all these aggregating forty-five thousand 
 men. General A. J. Smith was al that time in Missouri, with two divisions 
 of the righl wing of the Sixteenth Corps, numbering eight thousand troops 
 
 
Preparing eor \ Winter Campaign. _'4i 
 
 who had been ordered to Nashville, lie was further re-enforced by Stan- 
 ley's Fourth Corp-, fifteen thousand^ and by Schofield's Twenty-third 
 Corps, about fifteen thousand, and Grant had ordered new troops to re- 
 en forre him. 
 
 Our army halted at Galesville, Alabama, where the pursuit of the Con- 
 federate forces ceased^ All the troops designed for the new campaign, were 
 ordered to Atlanta. From this point twenty-three non-enli-ted men of the 
 Sixty -third Ohio Regiment went home. ( >n November 2nd. the Fourteenth. 
 Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Twentieth Corps with one division of cavalry. 
 was strung from Rome to Atlanta. The First Division camping on the 
 2nd of November at Van Wert, on the 3rd at Dallas and on the 4th at Lost 
 .Mountain, then marched to Marietta. The Twenty-seventh Ohio remained 
 at Kenesaw .Mountain until the 12th. then marched to a point five mile- 
 north of Kenesaw Mountain. There, with a large part of the army that 
 was lined up along the railroad, from liig Shanty to the Chattahootchee 
 River and on to Atlanta, the men worked during the day and all night tear- 
 ing up the railroads, burning the ties, twisting the rails and tearing down 
 the telegraph lines, completely destroying communication and isolating Sher- 
 man's army from the north. On the following flay they marched to a 
 camp near Marietta at Smyrna Camp Ground, where the First Division 
 was thoroughly clothed and equipped for a winter campaign, and were paid 
 the first time in nine months to August 3 1st. The next day, the Division 
 marched twenty miles to Atlanta, camping at White Hall and later near the 
 Macon Railroad, southeast of the town. For -everal days following, the 
 weather was cold, with high wind-. 
 
 All the sick, wounded, drafted men and substitutes had been sent 
 back by rail to Chattanooga. It had been found by experience that men 
 who voluntarily enlisted at the outbreak of the war. were the best soldiers, 
 better than the conscript and far better than the bought substitutes. The 
 most extraordinary efforts had been made to purge the army of non-com- 
 bitants and sick men, for there was no place of safety save with the army 
 itself, so that it may be assumed that all were able bodied, experienced 
 -ohliers, well armed and well equipped and provided as far as human fore- 
 sight could with all the essentials of life, strength and vigorous action. 
 
 The wagon trains had been overhauled and loaded so a- to be read} to 
 start at a moment's notice. Meantime train- were whirling by. carrying 
 to the rear, an immense amount of -tores. The engineers and fireman on 
 the train- waved us an affectionate adieu. 
 
 About noon on the 12th of November, General Sherman reached 
 Cartersville on his way to Atlanta, and -at on the porch of a house to rest. 
 When the telegraph operator got the wire down from the pole- to his lap.

 in which he held a small pocket instrument and called Chattanooga, lie re- 
 ceived a message from General Thomas, dated at Nashville. He was an- 
 swered, 'Despatch received all right.' About that instant of time, some 
 of our men burned a bridge which severed the telegraph wire and all com- 
 munication with the rear ceased thenceforth. The army now stood de- 
 tached from all friends, dependent upon its own resources and supplies. 
 It was surely a strange event, that two hostile armies were marching in 
 opposite directions, in the full belief that each was achieving a final and 
 conclusive result in a great war. The whole army was inspired with a 
 feeling that the movement on our part was a direct attack upon the rebel 
 army and rebel capitol at Richmond, though a full thousand miles of hostile 
 country intervened, and that for better or worse it would end the war. 
 
 Condition of Affairs in the Confederate Ranks in November, 1864. 
 
 George B. Hodge, C. S. A.. Colonel and Inspector General, reported to 
 Jeff Davis, from Selma, Alabama, November, 1864: 
 
 I le complains that there were in his territorial limits quite 
 ten thousand men, liable to military duty, absent from their commands and 
 evading the claims of the government for their services. In the county of 
 Jones in Mississippi, a large number of disaffected persons had proceeded 
 to such extremes, as to engage in a raid upon, and plunder the public stores. 
 in Paulding and Jasper Counties. In the country northwest of the Tellehat- 
 chie, a Captain Reson of the Confederate service, having deserted his post 
 and enticed away with him a portion of his command, had established himself 
 and inaugurated a system of private plunder, lie was constantly sending 
 messages to his friends in the army, inviting them to join him, luring them 
 by promises of brigandage and free quarters. The whole tier of counties 
 in .Mississippi and east Louisiana bordering on the Mississippi River 
 swarmed with deserters and skulkers from duty. A cavalry force was sent 
 against the insurgents in Jones County; they were attacked, routed and dis- 
 persed, some were shot, some were hung. Another force was sent against 
 Reson and his associates (he has since escaped across the Mississippi). This 
 course only partially remedied these evils. 
 
 On the 14th of November, Sherman's command had arrived at or near 
 \tlanta, Georgia, and was grouped into two wings. The right wing was 
 commanded by Major-General O. O. Howard, the left by Major-General 
 II. W. Slocum, both educated and experienced officers. The right wing 
 was composed of the Fifteenth Corps, Major-General P. J. Osterhaus, com- 
 manding and the Seventeenth Corps, Major-General Frank P. Blair, com- 
 
Reorganization of Commands. 243 
 
 manding. The left winy was composed of the Fourteenth Corps, Major- 
 General Jefferson C. Davis, commanding, and the Twentieth Corps, Briga- 
 dier-General A. S. Williams, commanding. The Fifteenth Corps had four 
 divisions, commanded by Brigadier-Generals Charles R. Wood. W. B. 
 llazcu. John E. Smith, and John M. Corse. The Seventeenth Corps had 
 three divisions, commanded by Major-General J. A. Mower and Brigadier- 
 Generals M. D. Legget and ( iiles A. Smith. The Fourteenth Corps had 
 three divisions, commanded by Brigadier-Generals W. P. Carlin. James D. 
 Morgan and A. Baird. The Twentieth Corps had three divisions com- 
 manded by Brigadier-Generals X. J. Jackson, John W. Geary, and \Y. T. 
 Ward. The Cavalry Division was held a separate organization, subject to 
 Sherman's orders. It was commanded by Brigadier-General Judson Kil- 
 patnek and was composed of two brigades, commanded by Colonels Eli H. 
 Murray and Smith D. Adkins. 
 
 The strength of this army as officially reported on November 10th, 
 was: Infantry, 52.796: Cavalry. 4,961; Artillery. 1,788. Aggregate. 
 59,545. 
 
 The number of guns was sixty-five, generally in batteries of four guns 
 each, twenty-five hundred wagons of six mules each and six hundred am- 
 bulances with two horses each. The wagon trains were divided equally be- 
 tween the four corps. These on the march occupied about five miles of 
 road. Each soldier carried on his person forty rounds of ammunition. 
 There were on hand one million two hundred thousand rations, which was 
 about a twenty days' supply. There was a good supply of beef cattle to be 
 driven on the hoof. The supply of oats and corn was limited to five days. 
 The machine shops, arsenals, railroad depots and shot and shell were all 
 destroyed at Atlanta as they had been at Rome, Georgia. The flames did 
 imt reach the Court House nor the great mass of dwelling houses. 
 
CHAPTER X.W I. 
 
 PREPARATION FOR THE MARCH I'HROUGH GEORGIA, FROM ATLANTA 
 
 TO THE SE \. 
 
 Sherman's plans for his future campaign were entirely original, being 
 altogether different from the science of war as laid down in the text books 
 taught at West Point. It was regarded as an experiment and a novel pro- 
 cedure to cut loose, abandon a base, burn bridges behind you and proceed 
 through the enemy's country. "But," as Sherman said. "I can make the 
 march and make Georgia howl." And again "Hood may turn into Ten- 
 nessee and Kentucky but I believe he will be forced to follow me. Instead 
 of being on the defensive. I would be on the offensive. Instead of my 
 guessing of what lie means to do, he will have to guess at my plans. The 
 difference in war would be fully twenty-five percent. I can make Savan- 
 nah, Charleston, or the mouth of the Apalachicola. 1 prefer to march 
 through Georgia, smashing things to the sea." 
 
 "1 must have alternatives:" he said, "else being confined to cine route, 
 the enemy so might oppose that the delay and want would trouble me; but 
 having alternatives. 1 can take so eccentric a course that no general can 
 uuess at my objective. Therefore, when you hear I am off. having look- 
 outs at Morris Island. S. C. Ossabaw Sound. Georgia. Pensacola and 
 Mobile Hay. 1 will turn up somewhere, and believe me. I can take Macon. 
 Milledgeville. Augusta and Savannah, and wind up with closing the neck 
 back of Charleston, so that they will starve out. This movement is not 
 purely military or strategic but it will illustrate the vulnerability of the 
 si null." 
 
 General Grant promptly authorized the proposed movement, indicat- 
 ing however, his preference for Savannah as the objective, and fixing 
 Dalton as the northern limit for the destruction of the railway. Prepara- 
 tions were instantly undertaken and pressed forward for the consummation 
 of these plans. 
 
 General Sherman ordered: "There will be no general trains of sup- 
 plies, hut each corps will have its ammunition and provision trains distrib- 
 uted habitually as follows; Behind each regiment should follow one wagon 
 and one ambulance; behind each brigade should follow a due proportion of 
 ammunition wagons, provision wagons and ambulances. In case oi 
 danger, each armv corps commander should change this order of march 
 by having his advance and rear brigade unencumbered by wheels. The 
 separate columns will start habitually at seven o'clock in the morning, and 
 make about fifteen miles a day. unless otherwise fixed in orders. 
 
Instructions for the March. 245 
 
 The army will forage liberally on the country during the march. To 
 this end, each brigade commander will organize a good and sufficent for- 
 aging party, under command of one or mure discreet officers, who will 
 lie held to a strict accountability for the conduct of their men. and who will 
 gather near the route travelled, corn or forage of any kind, meat of any 
 kind, vegetables, corn meal, or whatever is needed by the command, aiming 
 at all times to keep in the wagon trains at least ten days' provisions for the 
 command, and three days' forage. Soldiers must not enter the dwellings 
 of the inhabitants or commit any trespass; but during a halt of at camp, 
 they may be permitted to gather turnips, potatoes, and other vegetables and 
 drive in stock which is in sight of their camp. To regular foraging part'ies 
 must be intrusted the gathering of provisions and forage at any distance 
 from the road travelled." 
 
 "The General commanding, calls the attention of all officers to the 
 necessity of enforcing the most rigid discipline, in order to prevent strag- 
 gling, pillaging, marauding, and the evils attendant upon the evacuating of 
 an important town." 
 
 "To army commanders alone is instructed the power to destroy mills, 
 houses, cotton gins and so forth, and for them this general principle is laid 
 down; in districts and neighborhoods where the army is unmolested, no 
 destruction of such property should be permitted; hut should guerillas or 
 bushwhackers molest our march, or should the inhabitants burn bridges, 
 obstruct roads, or otherwise manifest local hostility, then army corps com- 
 manders should order and enforce devastation more or less relentless, 
 according to the measure of such hostility." 
 
 "As for horses, mules, wagons and so forth, belonging to the inhabit- 
 ants, the cavalry and artillery may appropriate freely and without limit, 
 discriminating however between the rich, who are usually hostile, and the 
 poor and industrious, who are usually neutral or friendly. Foraging 
 parties may also take mules or horses to replace the jaded animals of their 
 trains, or to serve as pack mules for the regiments or brigades. In all 
 foraging of whatever kind, the parties engaged will refrain from abusive 
 or threatening language, and may, when the officer in command thinks 
 proper, give written certificates of the facts, but no receipts ; and they will 
 endeavor to leave with each family a reasonable portion for their main- 
 tenance. 
 
 "Negroes who are able-bodied and who can be of service to the 
 several columns, may be taken along, but each army commander will bear 
 in mind that the question of supplies is a very important one, and that his 
 first duty is to see to those who bear arms. 
 
 "The organization at once of a good pioneer battalion for each corps, 
 composed, if possible, of negroes, should he attended to. This battalion 
 should follow the advance guard, repair roads, and double them if possible, 
 so that the columns may not be delayed on reaching bad places. Also, army 
 commanders should study the habit of giving the artillery and wagons the 
 road, and marching the troops on one side, and also to instruct their troop- 
 to assist wagons at steep hills or bad crossings of streams. 
 
_>4(> l'i 1 1 er's Ohio Brig vdi 
 
 "Captain O. M. Poe, Chief Engineer, will assign to each wing of the 
 army a pontoon train fully equipped and organized and the commanders 
 thereof will sec to its being properly protected at all times." 
 
 THE MARCH THROUGH GEORGIA; SIEGE OF SAVANNAH; RAID TO \IT\MWI\ 
 
 river; capture of savannah; transfer of the division to 
 beaufort, south carolina. 
 
 The Army now stood marshalled for the march through Georgia. Its 
 sick and wounded had been sent to the rear, and as General Grant said, 
 "after all its depletions, there were remaining in ranks, strong and hardy 
 men, numbering sixty thousand of as good troops as ever trod the earth." 
 All the men were hardened by the activity and training of over three years 
 of constant warfare in the field of arms. They had come from their 
 victories in Missouri, New Madrid, Donaldson, Iuka, Corinth, Vicksburg, 
 Chattanooga, the campaign through northern Georgia, and the victories just 
 won around Atlanta. They were full of enthusiasm, exultation and bound- 
 less confidence, an ensemble, the most remarkable, the most redoubtable 
 array of men, the finest soldiers the world had ever seen. Every man told 
 off by the Company Sergeants at roll call was a hero, every voice making 
 response, struck a full note in the chorus of freedom's morning song, no 
 fear of death could drive them from the front of the enemy, no mountain 
 beyond their enterprise, no stream more irresistible than their courage. 
 their history was a chain of seeming impossibilities, easily accomplished. 
 The men were possessed of miraculous vitality, their wounds were hardly 
 ever mortal. They wrought for their country, many had died gloriously, 
 they had conquered an empire. These men to the extent of three- fourths 
 of their number, in the ranks were able to command a regiment and any 
 one a company. The Confederates themselves, full fledged soldiers had to 
 meet these brave dashing veterans. 
 
 The First Division moving out on the road from Atlanta, took a 
 swinging step, marching steadily and rapidly with cheery look and singing 
 the song "John Brown's soul goes marching on." The men seemed to make 
 light of the thousand miles that lay between then) and Richmond. They 
 reached the bill iu^t outside the old rebel works and the very ground where 
 the bloody battle of July 22nd was fought. They turned to look back upon 
 the scenes of their past battles and could see the copse of wood where 
 McPherson fell. Behind them lay Atlanta, smouldering in ruins, the black 
 smoke rising high in air and hanging like a pall over the city. 
 
The Great March Through Georgia. 247 
 
 The right wing and Cavalry followed the railroad southeast toward 
 Jonesborough. The Twentieth Corps led off to the east bv Decatur. These 
 were divergent lines designed to threaten both .Macon and Augusta, at the 
 same time, so as to prevent a concentration at our intended destination 
 Milledgeville, the Capitol of Georgia, distant one hundred miles. The time 
 allotted each column for reaching Milledgeville, was -even days. The First 
 Division, with the Fifteenth and Seventeenth Corp- marched toward I Gordon 
 Junction, twelve miles from Milledgeville. 
 
 Un November 15th, this fine body of invincible troops commenced their 
 famous march for Savannah, Georgia. The entire army in four columns 
 marched out of Atlanta on four parallel roads. Cavalry on the flank-. 
 Fifteenth Corps on the right, Seventeenth Corps on the right center, taking 
 the McDonough Road, Twentieth Corps on the left center, the Fourteenth 
 Corps on the left. Almost all day, the artillery, commissary and ammuni- 
 tion wagons, occupied and moved in the road, while the infantry marched 
 through the rough lands on each side, to protect the flanks. The width of 
 this strip of country over which these columns marched, varied from sixty 
 to seventy-five miles. On the first day, the First Division occupied the 
 position of rear guard to the army. March was made till midnight, camp- 
 ing at Cotton Indian Creek, and starting again at four o'clock in the morn- 
 ing. The columns dragged along slowly, with frequent -top-, and starts 
 t ill three o'clock in the afternoon when rapid marching commenced and 
 continued till the morning of the 17th. After reaching the head of the 
 column, a short stop was made for the men to prepare their coffee, then 
 they continued for a distance of thirty-five miles, camping at Jackson. 
 These regiments guarding trains in the rear, frequently got into camp just 
 as the advance columns were starting out. 
 
 On November 18th, the Division marched to the Ocmulgee River, and 
 after dark, crossed over on a pontoon bridge. The weather grew warm, 
 and rainy, the soldiers were hungry and cursing, the drivers were yelling 
 at the tops of their voices at the mules and every one seemed vexed and 
 out of humor. Besides many soldiers, the night before, had used their 
 blankets for tents as a protection from the down pour of rain. The blanket - 
 were now so wet and heavy, that they were cast off to be destroyed by fire 
 and the men must sleep without covering. 
 
 One day as Sherman was riding on horseback, along the ranks, a 
 soldier sang out. "Uncle Hilly, Grant is waiting for us at Richmond!" 
 
 Newspapers that were captured contained appeals to the people of 
 Georgia. The following is a sample : 
 
 Richmond, November 19th, 1864.

 tary of War and are able to assure vou that they have done and are still

 visions from Sherman's Army, and hum what you cannot carry. Burn

 On November 19th, camp was made six miles south of the village at 
 Monticello. On the 20th. march was made through llillshoro and Falls 
 Church, reaching Gordon Junction on November 22nd. During a snow 
 storm, camp was made near the Milledgeville and ( ieorgia Central Railroad 
 which was burned and destroyed as was also the Milledgeville Railroad. 
 Portions of the railroads were destroyed each day. These roads were built 
 by laying heavy stringers on the ties, then iron rails spiked to the stringers. 
 [?wenty men were detailed from the regiments to collect forage. Hogs and 
 sweet potatoes were brought in by foragers from a section of the country 
 that had had an abundant harvest.

 249 
 
 On the 24th of November a march was made on the Jackson Ferry 
 Road and the railroad was destroyed. On the 25th. camp was made at 
 Toombsboro. On the 26th. after dark, the Oconee River was crossed at 
 Bald's Ferry, on the Georgia Central Railroad. On the 2'<th of November 
 the First Division crossed the Ogeechee River, fighting the enemy who 
 tried to prevent the crossing. 
 
 At the Oconee River, the First Division met a --how of resistance from 
 the rebel troops under Harry Wayne, but a pontoon bridge was soon made 
 and the troops passed over. Our cavalry crossed the Oconee River near 
 Milledgeville. The Twentieth and Fourteenth Corps reached Sandersville 
 on the 26th and drove the rebel cavalry away. General Wheeler with his 
 division of rebel cavalry got between Alilledgeville and Augusta, ahead of 
 our Army. General Hardee was in our front trying to arouse the people 
 to annihilate Sherman's Army. He had with him McLaw*s Division and 
 other irregular troops, in number not to exceed ten thousand men. The 
 rebel ( leneral Bragg was in Augusta and Wade Hampton had been ordered 
 from Richmond to organize a large cavalry force with vdiich to resist our 
 progress. 
 
 A TYPICAL CAMP SERVANT. 
 
250 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 A negro describing the arrival of the Yankees at a station near San- 
 dersville said: "First there came along some cavalrymen and they burned 
 the depot; then came along some infantry men. and they tore up the track 
 and burned it. and just before 1 left, they bad set fire to the well." 
 
 The troops destroyed the arsenal and such public buildings as could 
 be converted into hostile uses, at Milledgeville. Mills and cotton were 
 spared and little damage was done to private property. Kilpatrick's Caval- 
 ry moved rapidly on the branch railroad leading from Milan to Augusta, 
 and had considerable skirmishing with Wheeler's Cavalry there, but believ- 
 ing that our prisoners had been moved from Milan, he returned to 
 l.i iuisville. 
 
 Our wagons were full of provisions, but as we approached the sea 
 coast, the country became more sandy and barren and food became more 
 scarce. In a few days however, rice fields began to appear along the 
 Savannah and Ogeechee Rivers, and the rice proved a good substitute both 
 as feed and forage. 
 
 At this time the roads were good and nature seemed to favor us. The 
 men seemed to march their fifteen miles a day as if it were nothing. The 
 sight of our camps by night, lit up by the fires of fragrant pine knots, 
 impressed the soldiers agreeably. The Confederate forces were falling 
 back before us, although captured prisoners insisted that we would meet 
 strong opposition at Savannah. 
 
 On December 1st. a march of six miles was made by the First Division 
 to the eastward from the Ogeechee River and the railroad was destroyed, 
 at Station 9 J /> on the Georgia Central Railroad. On the 2nd, a camp was 
 made at Milan, Station S. On the 3rd. railroad was destroyed, thoroughly, 
 and a camp was made at Station 7. On the 4th, a march of seventeen miles 
 was made. < >n the 5th, a march of eight miles was made, reaching the 
 Little Ogeechee River. The enemy disputed our passage, but we dislodged 
 him and crossed over, camping at Station 4 [ _-. On the 6th, railroad was 
 again destroyed. On the 7th, a march of thirteen miles was made over bad 
 roads and quick-sand bottoms. The second Brigade was in the rear of the 
 trains. A camp was made in the night. On the 8th, a camp was made, 
 twenty-one miles from Savannah. On the 9th, with the First Division in 
 advance, we moved in line of battle, ten miles, through low rice fields, 
 skirmishing, and with artillery firing, driving the enemy. Several men in 
 our Division, were killed and wounded by the explosion of torpedoes which 
 had been planted in the road by the rebels. Prisoners were made to march 
 along the road so as to explode their own torpedoes. Camp was made at 
 1'ooler, Station 1. 
 
 ( )n December 7th, an order was received that mounted foragers would 
 not be permitted, that foraging must be done on foot. 
 
( ROSSING IMK OGEECHEE RlVER. 251 
 
 "There will be a rear guard to each regiment and brigade, who will 
 arrest any soldier found straggling. Company commander- will habitually 
 march in the rear of their companies, and any officer found guilty of allow- 
 ing his men to straggle will be arrested and reported to these headquarter-. 
 Forage parties must not move in advance of the column, but must keep on 
 the flanks of the command." 
 
 ( >n the 10th of December, a movement was made forward five miles 
 skirmishing sharply, losing a few men. After crossing the Ogeechee canal. 
 a position was taken and fortified during the night. At Savannah the enemy 
 was driven into his mammouth earthworks, so formidable in appearance. 
 which had been constructed behind swamps and overflowed rice fields, with- 
 care and skill by Confederate engineers. Black slaves from the surround- 
 ing plantations had been pressed to perform the labor which took over two 
 years to complete. These works were manned by a good garrison. We 
 had run up against the old familiar parapet with its deep ditches and canals 
 and bayous. It looked as if another siege was inevitable. The enemy not 
 only occupied the city itself with its long line of outer works, but the many 
 forts that had been built to guard the approaches from the sea, named 
 Beaulieu, Rosedew. White Bluff, Bonaventura, Thunderbolt, Cansten's 
 Bluff, Fort Tatrall and others. 
 
 General Sprague's Second Brigade engaged the enemy in front, while 
 General Fuller's First Brigade moved around through cypress and rice 
 swamps to the enemy's right. They crossed the canal to the right of the 
 Louisville Road and found the line of parapet continuous. The enemy was 
 driven seven miles, with constant skirmishing, artillery being used on botn 
 sides. The country back of Savannah was very low. These submerged 
 and intersected rice fields, salt marshes and boggy swamps were crossed 
 only on narrow causeways or common corduroy roads. The Division Camp 
 was in a dismal swamp where the water covered the ground, in a dense 
 
 w 1 of oak pine and cypress. The weather grew very cold, the wind from 
 
 the sea blew still colder, ice formed in the pools, no fires could be lighted, 
 and the men had no blankets. The wagon trains with supplies were miles 
 in the rear and there were no rations. The men were hungry and cold and 
 they danced around in their wet clothing to keep from freezing. It may 
 be said that at no one time during their service in the army, was their 
 suffering more severe than on that night from exposure and from being 
 deprived of many nights' sleep. 
 
 By the 10th of December the city was invested. Communication was 
 opened with our fleet which was waiting for us with supplies and clothing 
 in Ossabaw Sound. General Howard had on the night previous, sent one 
 of his best scouts. Captain Duncan, with two men in a canoe to drift past 
 Fort .McAllister and to convey to the fleet a knowledge of our approach.

 Great and Little < (geechee Rivers. The First Brigade marched with the 
 engineers to the right continuing all day and all night, remaining in camp

 CHORUS 
 
 Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the jubilee! 
 Hurrah ! Hurrah ! the flag that makes you free ! 
 So we sang the Chorus from Atlanta to the sea, 
 While we were marching through Georgia. 
 
 At sunrise, Hazen's Second Division of the Fifteenth Corps passed 
 over and marched rapidly down the right bank of the Ogeechee River and 
 prepared to assault and carry Fort McAllister by storm. ( )n the action of 
 this Division, depended in a marked degree the safety of our army and the 
 success of the campaign. Kilpatrick's Cavalry had already left the fort 
 and had gone further down the coast to St. Catherine's Sound, where he 
 had communication with a vessel belonging to the blockading fleet. Fort 
 McAllister was strong in heavy artillery against an approach from the sea, 
 but not so strong in the rear. As the sun was setting, a steamer was seen 
 in the distance coming up the river. Soon the flag of the United States 
 was plainly visible. "A group of officers was seen on the deck, signalling 
 with a flag the question. 'Is Fort McAllister taken?' General Sherman 
 signalled back. 'Not vet. but it will be in a minute.' When the sun was 
 still an hour high, Hazen's troops came out of the dark fringe of woods 
 that encompassed the fort, the lines dressed as if on parade, with colors 
 flying and moving forward at a quick, steady pace. 
 
 Fort McAllister was then all alive. Its big guns belched forth dense 
 cloud- of smoke which enveloped our assaulting line-. < >ne color went 
 down, but was up in a moment. The men had to pass a line of torpedoes 
 that killed many. As the lines advanced there was faintly -ecu in the white

 sulphurous smoke, a cessation of firing. The smoke cleared away and the 
 parapets were blue with our men firing their musket-.. Fort McAllister 
 was taken with its twenty-two guns and garrison. The good news was 
 signalled to our fleet." This opened to us Ossabaw Sound and gave us 
 free passage to the transports loaded with supplies of hard bread, coffee. 
 bacon, ammunition and so forth, of which the first two named rations 
 before this we had been almost entirely destitute. The capture of Fort 
 McAllister also enabled the Union War Ships to ascend the Ogeechee Rivet- 
 to King's Bridge, fourteen miles south west of Savannah. All railroads 
 ieading to Savannah were completely destroyed and the city invested. The 
 left of the army was on the Savannah River, three miles above the city and 
 tin right on the Ogeechee River at King's Bridge. The Fourteenth" Corps 
 was on the left touching the river, next the Twentieth, then the Seven- 
 teenth and the Fifteenth on the extreme right. 
 
 At this time. General Grant with his forces was besieging Richmond 
 and Petersburg. 
 
 The population of Savannah was estimated at twenty-five thousand 
 and the garrison under Hardee's command, fifteen thousand. 
 
 On the 16th, General Mower with the First and Third Brigades of the 
 First Division before rations were landed, marched out for a raid on the 
 Savannah, New Albany and Gulf Railroad, which was destroyed from 
 Savannah to the Altamaha River, a distance of fifty-five miles. The bridge 
 .md trestle across the river were also destroyed. The men were several 
 days without government rations, subsisting during that time on sweet 
 potatoes and. corn. They complained of hunger many times, and their 
 pinched and haggard faces plainly indicated their suffering. The march- 
 ing and labor were so constant that the opportunities for gathering 
 provision were limited and yet the country was cleaned out of eatables all 
 along the route as if an army of locusts had passed through. It was stated 
 by General Sherman when ordering this raid, that 'plenty of rations could 
 lie procured in the section through which these troops were going. Only- 
 six wagons of ammunition were allowed to be taken and the time was 
 limited to accomplish the work and return to Savannah, to five days. 
 
 On the 17th, we marched a distance of twenty miles without rations. 
 camping that night at Midway Church. < )n the following day a march of 
 eighteen miles was made and on the 19th, twelve miles. On the 20th, the 
 return march was commenced and on the 21st, we reached our former cam]) 
 near the citv of Savannah. 
 
 The first mail, which had accumulated since our departure from 
 Atlanta, came up to the army by steamer to King's Bridge on the loth. 
 Several thirty-two pound parrots were obtained from the fleet and placed 
 in position near enough to reach the center of the city with their fire.

 Accompanying General Sherman's demand tor the surrender of Savannah, 
 was a copy of Hood's demand for the surrender of Resaca, on September 
 12th. 
 
 About this time, December 15th and 16th. the great battle of Nashville 
 was fought, in which General Thomas ruined Hood's Army. This brilliant 
 victory, with ours, the capture of Savannah, made a complete whole. 
 
 General Hardee crossed the Savannah River in retreat by a pontoon 
 bridge, carrying off his men and light artillery, blowing up his Iron Clads 
 and Navy Yard, but leaving for us an immense amount of public and 
 private property. 
 
 Our skirmishers had detected the absence of the enemy and had 
 occupied his lines simultaneously along his whole front. In the Savannah 
 River were found many torpedoes and log piers rilled with cobble stone, 
 and other obstructions to navigation. A blockade runner came into 
 Savannah after we were in full possession and- the master did not discover 
 his mistake till he came ashore to visit the custom house. His vessel fell a 
 prize to our navy. Here the march to the sea terminated.

 "Then sang we a song fur our Chieftain 
 That echoed o'er river and lea ; 
 And the stars on our banners shone brightly, 
 When Sherman marched down to the sea." 
 
 On the morning of December 21st, Savannah was occupied by the 
 Union Army. The material of war captured, was of great value. There 
 were by actual count over two hundred and fifty siege or heavy sea-coast 
 guns with ammunition supplies of all kinds, besides over thirty thousand 
 bales of cotton, worth at one time, one dollar a pound, also a string of tints 
 from Savannah around to Fort McAllister. 
 
 On December 22nd, 1864, General Sherman sent the following message 
 to the President of the United States. It was conveyed by boat to Fortress 
 Monroe and thence by telegraph to Washington. It was received by Mr. 
 Lincoln on Christinas eve and then transmitted to every part of the North 
 so that on Christmas day the people were rejoicing at the news.

 December 18th, 1864. 
 My dear General : 
 
 I have just received and read, I need not tell you with how much grati- 
 fication, your letter to General Halleck. 1 congratulate you and' the brave 
 officer- and men under your command on the successful termination of 
 your most brilliant campaign. 1 never had a doubt of the result. When 
 apprehensions for your safety were expressed by the President, I assured 
 him with the army you had and you in command of it. there was no danger, 
 but that von would strike bottom on salt water some place. 
 
 I . S. * iRant, Lieutenant-General . 
 
 Many Southern people implored Sherman to take his army through 
 South Carolina and make them feel the utmost severities of war. Charles- 
 ton was now compared to a desolate wreck, hardly worth the time to starve 
 it out, however much importance might be attached to it. politically and 
 historically. 
 
 The city of Savannah and surrounding country was made a militan 
 po-t adapted for future military uses. The Chief Engineer, Captain Poe 
 was ordered to dismantle and destroy all forts not to be retained for our 
 use. Only two newspapers were allowed to be published and the editors 
 and proprietors were held to the strictest accountability for any libelous 
 
Situation of Savannah. 257 
 
 publication, mischief matter, premature news, or exaggerated statements, 
 upon the acts of the constituted authorities. 
 
 The rebel officers and newspapers had represented the conduct of the 
 nun of the Union Army as simply infamous, that we respected neither age 
 nor sex and perpetrated all manner of outrages on the inhabitants. They 
 knew that these reports were exaggerated in the extreme but thev assented 
 tn these false publications, to arouse the drooping energies of the people 
 of the Smith. They had reported us harassed, defeated and fleeing to the 
 coast. Thousands who had been deceived by these lies, that we had been 
 whipped, now realized the truth and their faith in Jeff Davis was much 
 shaken. The recent march through Georgia had a wonderful effect upon 
 the people. They now felt the hard hand of war and they had 110 appetite 
 for a repetition of the experience. 
 
 The bulk of the inhabitants of Savannah chose to remain. The wives 
 of the rebel Generals Stuart J. W. Smith, and General A. I'. Stuart as well 
 as the brother-in-law of General Hardee and many others went to General 
 Sherman for protection. During our stay, the ladies attended the guard 
 mountings, parades and reviews and to hear the music of our bands. 
 
 ( )n December 24th, the First Division marched through Savannah in 
 review by General Sherman to a camp three miles east of the city. The 
 men had marched a distance of three hundred and fifty miles from Atlanta, 
 having traversed eighteen of the most populous and wealthy counties in 
 Central Georgia. The city of Savannah is situated along the Savannah 
 River on a plateau of sand about forty feet above the level of the sea. It 
 had the appearance of an old town from the ancient style of architecture 
 of its houses, but the place was beautiful because of a fine sea view, and 
 because of the handsome groves and parks filled with shade trees, among 
 which were the majestic willow leaf, live oak, covered with gray and funera] 
 moss. Many of the residences had spacious yards filled with flowers and 
 shrubbery of exquisite beauty. Xear the public buildings was a fine monu- 
 ment erected to the memory of Count I'ulaski who was killed in the assault 
 upon the city by the Americans in \77'K at the time it was held by the 
 English.

 GENERAL ORDER NUMBER 3. 
 
 War Department. January 14th. 1865. 
 The following resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives 
 is published to the Army. 
 
 PUBLIC RESOLUTION NUMBER 4. 
 
 Joint resolution tendering the thanks of the people and of Congress 
 to Major-General William T. Sherman, and the officers and soldiers of his 
 command, for their gallant conduct in their late brilliant movement through 
 Georgia. 
 
 Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
 United States of America in Congress assembled ; that the thanks of the 
 people and of Congress of the United States are due and are hereby ten- 
 dered to Major-General William T. Sherman, and through him to the 
 officers and soldiers under his command, for their gallant good conduct in 
 their late campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta and the triumphal march 
 through Georgia to Savannah, terminating in the capture and occupation of 
 that city; and that the President cause a copy of this joint resolution to be 
 engrossed and forwarded to Major-General Sherman. 
 
 Approved January 10th. 1865. 
 By order of the Secretary of War. W. A. Nichols, Adjutant-General. 
 
 The First Division remained in Savannah until January 3rd. 1865, 
 living on one quarter rations. On the above named date, it was assembled 
 for the Campaign of the Carolinas. The regiments marched over a smooth 
 level road, macadamized with ocean shell, to Fort Thunderbolt and 
 embarked on transports. Most of the troops of the First Brigade, includ- 
 ing General Howard and staff, on Commodore Dalgreen's despatch boat 
 "Harvest Moon." The Second Brigade on steamers "S. R. Spaulding, 
 Canonicus and Fannie." Unbroken silence prevailed in the great arra\ of 
 troops; not a voice was heard as they massed in ranks on the bluff to look 
 at the vessels. Only the notes of a solitary bugle came from their midst. 
 The sight of the great ocean and the fighting ships of our navy had been 
 a new sight to thousands of Sherman's Army who were born and reared 
 west of the Alleghanies and the Mississippi River. 
 
 It took more than a week to convey all of the Seventeenth Army 
 Corps from Fort Thunderbolt, near Savannah, down the Savannah River, 
 past the forts of the harbor, around Hilton Head into the Atlantic Ocean 
 and Port Royal Sound and to disembark them at Beaufort Island. South 
 Carolina. Most of the Firsl Division, however, arrived the next day at 
 ten o'clock in the evening, many of the soldiers suffered from sea sickness 
 and said they would rather march a thousand miles over the worst roads 
 in the south than to spend another night on the ocean. 
 
CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 Man) Northern people were living in Beaufort at this time. When 
 they saw Sherman's Army they remarked that his troops had seen long 
 and hard service, their uniforms were so soiled and worn, and that the 
 officers and privates were dressed so much alike they were unable to dis- 
 tinguish one from the other. 
 
 January 5th the Twentieth Corps had two divisions over the Savannah 
 River above the City effecting a lodgement in South Carolina. The people 
 of South Carolina and the rebel soldiers seemed to have an undue fear of 
 our western men. and like children, they had invented graphic stories of 
 our prowess in Georgia. It seemed that their wonderful energy displayed 
 during the war was beginning to yield to the sl< »w and more certain industry 
 and discipline of our Northern troops. Taunting messages had come to us 
 when in Georgia to the effect that when we should reach South Carolina, 
 we would find a people who would fight us t< i the bitter end. daring u> to 
 come over. Our men could not be restrained as they had been in Georgia. 
 
 The heavy winter rains began in January, rendering the roads execrable. 
 The rivers became swollen and filled their many channels, overflowing the 
 vast rice fields and low lands. The flood -wept away the pontoon bridges 
 at Savannah and came near drowning some of the troops of John E. 
 Smith's Division of the Fifteenth Corps, with several heavy train- of 
 wagons that were en route from Savannah to Pocotaligo by the old cause- 
 way. The nights became bitter cold and the men suffered severely except 
 when in a position to build fires. 
 
 There is a story told of one man who habitually got drunk on the 
 picket line when liquor could be obtained. But he was a good soldier and 
 was usually let off easy. ( )ne night, the officer of the guard stumbled 
 against him. The officer told him to go back to his quarters and report to 
 his company. The answer was "Wdm are you?" The officer disguising his 
 v.ice said that his name was Paul. "Oh, Paul." said the man. "Say. did 
 you ever get an answer to your letter to the Ephesians?"

 COLUMBIA; CHARLESTON EVACUATED; CHERAW, FAYETTE- 
 
 VILLE, BENTONVILLE, GOLDSBORO. 
 
 By the 10th of January, 1865, after eleven clays waiting for supplies, 
 in a low and marsh}' camp, near the fortifications at Beaufort, South 
 Carolina, the First Division marched ten miles out to the Coosaw River. 
 The road was straight and level through swampy country, covered with a 
 thick growth of pine timber. After stacking arms, the soldiers, who were 
 very thirsty, rushed to the river, for the tide was up and the water looked 
 clear. They filled their cups in which they had put coffee and placed them 
 over the fire to boil. After seating themselves upon the ground ready to 
 enjoy their rations, they found that they had made their coffee of salt water. 
 
 On January 15th, the First Division crossed the river between the 
 island and main land on a pontoon bridge and camped at Pocotaligo Station 
 in a rice field on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, forty miles distant 
 from Charleston and twenty-five miles from Beaufort. Three lines oi 
 fortifications were captured by marching through swamps upon the enemy's 
 flanks. These fortifications and the third line at the Pocotaligo defences 
 were defended by Hampton's Legion, Wheeler's Cavalry and some other 
 Confederate troops. 
 
 On January 16th the Twenty-seventh Ohio with a train of twenty-five 
 wagons and six mule teams, went to higher ground, as far as Hayward 
 Plantation for forage. A soldier and a colored man came into our lines, 
 having been chased by the enemy whom they reported in our front. Skir- 
 mishers were deployed and a line of battle was formed. Two companies 
 were posted behind Dr. Hayward's fine residence. The enemy gave way 
 and retreated at our approach, which was on the double-quick, with a yell 
 and a volley of musketry. The wagons were now filled with corn and 
 fodder and the command returned to camp. Lieutenant-Colonel 1. X. 
 Gilruth was in command of the expedition and Captain Charles H. Smith 
 was acting Major. 
 
 It was now winter and the wet season had set in It rained for days. 
 The roads and swamps were filled with water. All the country between 
 Beaufort and Pocotaligo is alluvial soil, cut up by an infinite number oi

 salt water sloughs, and fresh water creeks, easily susceptible to defence. 
 Near this alluvial soil came the sandy pine land which connected with firm 
 ground extending inland. 
 
 On January 19th, the First Division began marching at six o'clock in 
 the morning- and filed off into the swamps and woods for the purpose of 
 flanking the eneim and their earthworks and forts. After three miles of 
 march through mud and water up to their knees, they arrived at the Sal- 
 kehatchie River. The river was so swollen by the rains that it could not 
 be crossed by wading. The men had to wade slowly back through the 
 swamps to the camp on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad. General 
 Beauregard assumed command of Hardee's troops at Charleston, including 
 Wheeler's and Hampton's Cavalry, numbering 40,000 men with Pocotaligo 
 as a line of defence. On January 25th, Colonel Milton Montgomery 
 assumed command of the Second Brigade, hirst Division. 
 
 The Army was now well started for its grand move through the 
 Carolinas and Virginia, to join General Grant at Richmond. Sherman's 
 Army flushed with success was a most confident body of men and they felt 
 their power. On January 27th, part of the Division marched to Cuthert's 
 Landing on the Coosaw River and remained there five days, doing fatigue 
 duty, unloading transports freighted with government stores and rations. 
 The weather was cold and the ground was freezing. The return march 
 was made during the night. 
 
 By the 1st of February the whole of the Army of the Tennessee was 
 near Pocotaligo waiting for the left wing, which was delayed by the flood 
 of the Salkehatchie River. Its great overflow of water presented a most 
 formidable obstacle, but Mower's Division ( First ) of the Seventeenth 
 Corps was kept active, seemingly with the intention of crossing over in the 
 direction of Charleston and thus keep up the delusion that the city was our 
 immediate objective. 
 
 The right wine; moved up the Salkehatchie River. The Seventeenth 
 Corps was on the right, and the First Division on the right of the Corps 
 following the west bank of the river, to River's Bridge, where it appeared 
 before the rebel position. The Fifteenth Corps moved to Beaufort Bridge. 
 Kilpatrick's Cavalry by way of Barnwell, to bring them into communication 
 with the Fifteenth Corps. 
 
 The enemy cut away all the bridges and at once abandoned the whole 
 line of the Salkehatchie. General Howard tells the storv that when the 
 Seventeenth Corps was about five miles from Midway Station, he began 
 deploying his leading division so as to he ready for battle. While sitting 
 on his horse, the general saw a man coming down the road, riding as hard 
 as he could, and as he approached, Howard recognized him as one of his 
 own foragers mounted on a horse, with a rope bridle and a blanket for a 
 
264 Fuller's Ohio Brigadi 
 
 saddle. A.s he rode nearer, he called out, "I lurry up, General! We have 
 got the railroad!" General I Inward said. "And so while we generals were 
 pro eeding deliberately to prepare for serious battle, a parcel of our for- 
 agers had actually captured the South Carolina Railroad, a line of vital 
 imp. irtance." 
 
 'The army moved forward and broke up the railroad to a point where 
 it crossed the Cambahee River and then turned for Columbia. 
 
 On February 1st, the First Division advanced all day as skirmishers 
 on the Broxton Bridge Road, the enemy retreating from one rail pile to 
 another as fast as they could build them. On February 2nd, the Division 
 marched ten miles and made a camp on an island in the swamp. The 
 wagons could not keep closed up with the column during the march, so 
 they came up late. The bridges had all been burned by the enemy. On 
 February 3rd, the Union troops moved slowly all day with stops every mile 
 or so to flank the enemy from rail pile to rail pile. The rebels finally fell 
 back into their main works on the west bank of the Salkehatchie River. 
 The men of the First Division, in line of battle, waded up to their waists 
 in freezing cold water and mud. to within one hundred yards of the enemy's 
 works. The loss in the First Division was one hundred and twenty-five 
 killed and wounded. 
 
 At River's Bridge, the situation was such that the men had to double- 
 quick across a wagon road, now knee deep with water, while the enemy's 
 artillery raked the whole distance with shot and shell. Colonel Wager 
 Swayne of the Forty-third Ohio was wounded at this place by a piece of 
 shell, lie was carried off the field on a stretcher a long distance back to 
 the hospital at Pocotaligo, where his leg was amputated. Thus a brave 
 and competent leader was lust to the service. The day after the fall of 
 Colonel Swayne, the Forty-third Ohio received a baptism of fire in a 
 charge upon a battery which commanded the bridge and causeway approach- 
 ing it. Down this narrow causeway, the regiment rushed amid a storm of 
 shot and shell compelling the rebels to withdraw the battery and uncover 
 the crossing. The Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiments were 
 the first to find a way to cross the river and took possession of the opposite 
 bank. 
 
 ( )n February 4th. the First Division was engaged in tearing down 
 buildings and cutting down large trees to make a mad through the swam]) 
 to the right of the enemy's line, and also for the purpose of bridging the 
 river. At five o'clock in the evening, the First and Second Brigades of the 
 First Division, charged the enemy's works on the right flank, at River's 
 I '.ridge, capturing the wnrks with one hundred prisoners from the Thirty- 
 second and Forty-third Georgia. The Union loss was one hundred killed 
 and wounded. The water in the streams was s, , high, that it was necessary

 265 
 
 to build fifteen bridges for the troops n> cross, in a distance of less than one 
 mile. ( )n February 15th, the First Division moved into line ami built works 
 fur defences, and camped near the river. 
 
 Our men had the idea that South Carolina was the cause of all our 
 troubles. They knew that South Carolina had been the first to fire upon 
 our flag at Fort Sumpter, and her people had been in great haste to pre- 
 cipitate the country into a civil war. A squad of soldiers having come into 
 possession of a large map of the United States, they laid it out upon flu 
 ground, and with an ax. chopped out the state of South Carolina, this 
 action being taken in view of the fact that Smith Carolina was the first state 
 tn recede from the Union, and the soldiers claiming that this part of the 
 country was not worth fighting for. Indeed it was a miserable country. 
 The soil was sandy and poor. The houses used for habitation were small 
 and built of logs, rough split staves were used for shingles, wooden pegs 
 fur nail>. there were no doors neither sash nor glass in the windows, and 
 there were no plastered inside walls.

 FIRST DIVISION llili A. ('. IX THE SOUTH CAROLINA SWAMPS. 
 February, 1865. 
 
266 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 On Februar} 6th, a march was made on the Midway Road, eleven 
 miles. ( hi February 7th, commencing at noon, we marched twelve miles 
 and ramped at Little Salkehatchie River, near the town of Midway on the 
 Charleston and Augusta Railroad and built a line of earthwork defences. 
 On February 8th, we destroyed railroad. On the 9th, we marched ten 
 miles to South Edisto River. After cutting a road through the swamp, in 
 deep water and in the pitch darkness of night, we went into cam]) and 
 remained until midnight in our wet clothing. The enemy burned the 
 bridge, evacuated their tort on the north side of the river, and at tour 
 o'clock in the morning, the pontoons being finished, the First Division 
 parsed over, but the men had to wade through the overflowed bottoms on 
 the other side, waist deep, fastening their cartridge boxes around their 
 necks, to keep their powder dry. 
 
 Scarcely anything could be more trying to the men than their wading 
 in the dark, through the deep, cold water, stumbling at every step with their 
 clothing frozen stiff. Their zeal and skill in obtaining the passage of the 
 river, the difficulties of the ground, the mud. the water, swamps, dee]') 
 creeks and ditches, which they had overcome to get at the enemy, and their 
 quiel and soldierly conduct afterward, was eminently praiseworthy. 
 
 Circular letter from Major-General Howard. 
 
 Near River's Bridge, South Carolina. February 5th. 1865. 
 Sir: Allow me to congratulate you on the success achieved by your 
 command in breaking the line of the Salkehatchie. The enemy chose a 
 position of incomparable strength and met us at every crossing with defiant 
 boldness. Your First Division under Major-General .Mower, First Brigade 
 under General Fuller, Second l'.rigade under Colonel Tillson, with almost 
 incredible celerity cleared Whippy Swamp; with its deep water, through 
 which the men wailed above the knee, with its seven burned bridges and 
 its roads rilled with felled trees. They skirmished successfully with the 
 enemy, made a reconnaissance to Broxton's Bridge, forcing the enemy to 
 destroy it and to defend the causeway, then drove hack the enemy's cavalry 
 and reached River's Bridge so quickly as to arrest and effectually prevent 
 their destruction. This same Division under the same indomitable leader- 
 ship, in one day made two infantry roadways through the swamp, a mile 
 and a half in extent and demonstrated strongly on the enemy's fortified 
 front, completely turned his position and planted itself firmly on the eastern 
 shore of the indescribably ugly Salkehatchie, and this wide and troublesome 
 swamp. All this was done in the face of canister and shell in a sharp, 
 obstinate musketrj fire from behind works. The immediate fruits of the 
 victory are the abandonment by the enemy of Broxton's and Buford's 
 Bridges, the opening up of the country beyond and its supplies, placing 
 hors-de-combat, some two hundred of the enemy, and the gain of moral 
 effect over him produced by the wonderful vigor and boldness of our men 
 in overcoming apparently unsurmountable obstacles. Every soldier who has 
 fallen is a precious sacrifice that must give us pain, and the loss we suffer 
 
Through A Barren Country. 267 
 
 in Colonel Swayne, Lieutenant-Colonel Kirby and their wounded comrades, 
 we can ill afford. I'ermit me to thank the officers and men for their cheer- 
 ful, gallant, enterprising, and successful work achieved at the very opening 
 of the campaign. 
 
 ( ). ( ). Howard, Major-General. 
 
 Captured Confederate papers announced at this time that "Sherman's 
 Anm was lost, that his troops were Starving and that all would soon lie 
 killed or captured." 
 
 On February 10th while foraging for supplies, raids were made upon 
 the smoke houses on the plantations where large quantities of ham- and 
 bacon were found. On February 11th, reconnaissance was made and we 
 camped near the North F.disto River at Holman's Bridge. On February 
 12th the pickets found the pine woods on fire. Trees fell all night long and 
 the smoke was choking and blinding covering men's faces with soot. The 
 river was crossed at Bennaker's Bridge and the town of Orangeburg was 
 occupied at midnight. Strong earthworks had been built on the river banks 
 by the enemy. As a matter of history it was over this very ground that 
 Marion and his men marched and fought during- the Revolution. 
 
 CAPTURE OF COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA. 
 
 The march was continued for forty miles until the 15th of February, 
 when camp was made on the Congaree River near a stockade prison for- 
 merly occupied by Federal prisoners. These prisoners' only shelter for 
 themselves during their confinement, had been in mud holes and hovels. 
 
 On the 16th of February, the 1st Division marched along a road parallel 
 with the river to the junction of the Saluda and Broad Rivers, in full view 
 of Columbia, the Capitol of South Carolina, situated on high ground oppo 
 site. During the day Stone's Brigade of the Fifteenth corps crossed the 
 Broad River on rafts. On February 17th. at dark, the First Division 
 crossed the two rivers on pontoons, the balance of the Army of the Tennes- 
 see following. The United States flag was raised over the old State House 
 by General Belknap, over the verv building where secession was first 
 promulgated and where the old stars and stripes were first trailed in the 
 dust, m 1860. The hirst Division marched through the streets of Colum- 
 bia and camped two miles northwest of the city, from which place could be 
 seen the great conflagration then in progress. Many buildings were des- 
 troyed by the fire, most of them containing stores of cotton, tobacco, flour, 
 coffee, and sugar, with carloads of Confederate paper money and six presses 
 for making it. Ammunition and machinery for manufacturing munitions

 •na. by rail. It was an exciting scene of chaotic grandeur. News 
 was received of the Evacuation of Charleston, South Carolina, and of 
 Wilmington, North Carolina, so that our army felt that it was reaping the 
 fruits of this great march. 
 
 The right wing turned from Columbia, eastward toward Cheraw. the 
 left wing arriving by way of Alston. The cavalry followed the railroad 
 north as far as Chester, making a feint toward Charlotte to which point 
 Beauregard was directing his rebel detachments. 
 
 The rains were heavy, the roads fearful. We had to corduroy every 
 fool of tlie way with fence rail and split saplings. The Catawba River rose 
 fasl and carried away our pontoon bridges, leaving the Fourteenth Corps 
 on the west bank, and there was some day's time lost in getting over. They 
 were compelled to use the fifth chains of their wagons, for anchor chains. 
 
 MOVEMENT ON THE WIXSBORO ROAD. 
 
 On February 18th. the troops destroyed the Charlotte and Columbia 
 Railroad with one hundred and fifty cars, fourteen locomotives and the 
 arsenal. The destruction of the railroad was continued until the 22nd as 
 far as Winnsboro. The usual method employed for this work was first 
 lo strip the rails from the track, then pile the ties high, one upon the other. 
 and place the rail- so that they rested in the center upon the ties. Fire 
 was then set to the whole and when the rails became hot, the end dropped 
 down, after which the men twisted them around trees, or the .Michigan 
 Engineer Corps, would apply iron tongues at each end of the rail and put 
 in three twists. 
 
 The Second Brigade served on provost guard in Columbia. 
 
 ( In the 22nd the Catawba River was crossed and camp was made at 
 Popular Springs. On the 23rd, the men moved on the Peay's Ferry Road 
 to the west bank of the Wateree River where a guard was detailed to take 
 all horses from the possession of the "bummers" and foragers as they came 
 to cross, and to slaughter all worthies- animals. At dark, the First Divi- 
 sion crossed over on a pontoon bridge, camping on the east side of the 
 river. 
 
 ( )n February 24th. a march was made on the Camden Road, through 
 the village of Liberty Hill over a rocky and hilly country and aero-- Beaver 
 (reek, on the easterly side of which, the marching was over a more level 
 country. The land composed of white -and covered with immense forests 
 of pine, from which rosin and turpentine were being gathered. The creeks 
 and streams were numerous, whole divisions of men crossing them in 
 single tile, over fallen tree-. I'lie largest streams, Lynch Creek and Black 
 River, were bridged and crossed February 26th. 
 
Difficulties on the March. 269 
 
 By February 27th and 28th the rations became so scarce that details of 
 soldiers were sent out to forage and to run neighboring grist mills. The 
 country was found to be too poor to furnish forage. General Sherman, 
 riding along on this road, saw a negro standing near, looking at the pass 
 ing troops, and asked him what road it was. "Him lead to Cheraw, mas- 
 sa." Sherman asked if it was a good road and how far it led. "A very 
 good road and eight or ten miles." "Any guerillas?" "( )h no, massa, dey 
 is gone two days ago; you could have played cards on der coat tail-, dey 
 was in sich a hurry !" 
 
 General Harry asked the negro what he was doing there. He 
 answered. "Dey say. massa, Sherman will be along soon!" "Why that was. 
 General Sherman you were talking to." The negro almost in the attitude 
 of prayer exclaimed, "De great God !" and ran up and trotted by the side 
 of Sherman's horse for a mile or so. giving the General all the information 
 lie possessed. 
 
 THE CAPTURE OF CHERAW, SOUTH CAROLINA. 
 
 March 1st, the First Division reached a point within fifteen mile- of 
 Cheraw. South Carolina, and built rifle pits. The enemy was again con- 
 centrated in front, and the advance waited for the troops in the rear to 
 close up. On March 3rd, the First Division with the Twenty-seventh and 
 Thirty-ninth Ohio in advance, moved forward and across Juniper and 
 Johnson's Creeks, and were soon deployed as skirmishers, advancing across 
 the fields, climbing over, or tearing down the fences, passing through 
 woods, thick underbrush and other obstructions, a distance of ten miles, 
 finally capturing the enemy's earthworks from which they retreated, leaving 
 their camp fires still burning. 
 
 Firing was continued on and through the town of Cheraw, the Twenty- 
 seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio being in advance, until the Great Fee Dee 
 River was reached, a large, deep, navigable stream. The bridge over this 
 river was found to be on fire, as was also the railroad depot. The enemy 
 remained on the east bank of the river, contesting the passage of the First 
 Division, until the great bridge was consumed and fell into the river. The 
 captures consisted of the old United States Arsenal, thirty-six pieces of ar- 
 tillery, thirty-six tons of powder, a large quantity of fixed ammunition, three 
 thousand muskets, provisions, locomotives and cars. 
 
 At Cheraw by the carelessness of a soldier, thirty-six hundred barrels 
 of powder, which had been captured there were exploded. This explosion 
 killed and maimed several of our men. One of the twenty-pound Blakely 
 guns captured, was ornamented at the breach with a brass plate, on which 
 was inscribed: "Presented to the Sovereign State of South Carolina by 
 one of her citizens resident abroad, in Commemoration of the Twentieth

 These guns, some of them brass pieces, were at the Rock Island United 
 States Arsenal in the year 1886. The Twenty-seventh Ohio was placed 011 
 guard over the captured artillery, over which they planted their flag for 
 they were the first in possession of it. 
 
 On March 4th. a detachment of the Twenty-seventh < )hio Infantry 
 under Captain Charles H. Smith was sent down along the bank of the Pee 
 Dee River and built a line of earthworks in anticipation of a gun boat 
 attack. Later in the day. the Thirty-ninth < >hio and Eighteenth Missouri 
 crossed the river in boats and drove the enemy from the eastern bank. 
 This enabled the pontoons to be laid for the army to cross. At five o'clock 
 in the afternoon, all the First Brigade was in advance of the army, and 
 drove the enemy from the east bank. They marched in line of battle, the 
 Thirty-ninth as skirmishers, in advance, and firing a distance of two miles. 
 The First Division camped after dark, forming a hollow square. 
 
 At ten o'clock at night, the enemy destroyed its ammunition train by 
 blowing it up. causing a terrible explosion which illuminated the sky to 
 the left and front of the Union lines. There was an alarm in camp imme- 
 diately, bugles sounded the "Assembly." drums beat the "Long Roll" and 
 the reserve forces were double-quicked forward, but all fear of an attack 
 soon vanished when it was found that the enemy had retreated again. 
 
 March 6th the Division marched to Bennettsville. On the 7th. we 
 marched on the Fayetteville Road to Beaver Dam Creek, over bad roads.

 Corps followed direct roads. The Twentieth diverged to the left, our 
 Cavalry covered our trains from Wheeler's and Hampton's cavalry. 
 
 Till-: CAPTURE OF FAYETTSVILLE. 
 
 ( In the 11th of .March the First Division in advance, entered Fayetts- 
 ville, situated on the Cape Fear River. The Confederate troops under 
 John-ton. Hoke, Hardee, and McLaws, burned the cotton factories and 
 also the bridge over the Cape Fear River, then retreated from the town 
 leaving two one hundred-pound Parrot guns. The Union troops des- 
 troyed absolutely, the old United State- Arsenal and a vast amount of 
 machinery which formerly belonged to the old Harper's Ferry United 
 State- Arsenal. A battering ram was used to break down the walls. 
 
 ' )n the 13th the river was crossed on pontoons. A United States 
 armed tug and steamboat came up the river from Wilmington, bringing 
 despatches and mail for the army. This was the first news received from 
 the north since leaving Beaufort, a period of about fifty-five days. The 
 first letter received in Cleveland from Sherman's Army since leaving 
 Savannah, Georgia, was from .Major Charles H. Smith, directed to Mr. 
 II. M. Shumway. < )nly a glimpse of news could be had from the captured 
 rebel papers, and they told how Sherman'- Army had been destroyed on 
 several occasions. 
 
 ( )nly coffee, sugar and hard bread were issued by the commissary 
 department for the soldiers on this march. Much of the subsistence was 
 obtained from the country, a portion of which was intended for the ton- 
 federate Army. The troops waited in camp for orders, constantly on the 
 alert until the 17th. when they crossed Black River and marched sixteen 
 mile-. < In the 18th, camp was made at Goshen Church. On the 19th the 
 men crossed Falling Creek, on Facing'- Road and camped. On the 20th, 
 a march of twenty-five mile- was made starting at midnight. A Junction 
 was made on the Averasboro Road with the right of the Fourteenth and 
 Fifteenth Corps, which wa- then engaged in the Rattle of Averasboro. 
 
 The next day the opposition to our progress by the enemy continued 
 Stubborn. Hardee had taken up a strong position near Averasboro and his 
 line was caught in flank, by our troops and -wept away. Two hundred

 McBeth's Battery of three guns. < >ne hundred and eight of the dead were 
 buried. Five hundred and fifty-four officers and men were killed or wound- 
 ed. Colonel Albert Rhett, former commander of Fort Sumpter, was cap- 
 tured. He was handsomely dressed in the most fashionable rebel uniform. 
 
 The left wing now turned east toward Goldsborough, the right wing- 
 to the right, it-- columns well drawn out. owing to had roads. Our heads 
 of columns were within five miles of Bentonville. Everyone thought that 
 the danger was over when suddenly Slocum's left wing ran up against the 
 whole of Johnston's Rebel Army. Their lines embraced the village of 
 Bentonville. The country was very obscure and maps defective. Howard's 
 right wing was turned at once toward Bentonville. 
 
 BATTLE OF BENTONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. 
 
 On March 21st, the First and Second Brigades of the First Division" 
 went into position on the right of the Fifteenth Corps, near Mill Creek 
 and under command of General Joseph A. Mower, marched several miles 
 to the right of the Union Army and around the left flank to the rear of 
 the Confederate Army, passing through swamps, creeks, underbrush. 
 forests, fields and difficult ground. At the foot of the hill, we captured a 
 cason. At this point, we raised a yell and charged forward on a run. the 
 Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio reached far to the rear of the Con- 
 federate Army, to the headquarters of the Confederate Army Commander. 
 General Joseph E. Johnston. Over the door of an old log house, which he 
 had occupied, was nailed the general headquarters sign. The General with 
 bis staff and Cavalry Escort stampeded, leaving their horses tied to fences. 
 Captain W. H. H. Mintern of the Thirty-ninth Ohio, gallantly rushing for- 
 ward, captured Johnston's sash, sword, belt, bis horse saddled and bridled, 
 and bis private correspondence. Close by there was an old building used 
 for a Confederate hospital in which were found wounded men of the 
 Fourteenth Corps, captured the day before, with whom the brigade skir- 
 mishers conversed. 
 
 General Sherman on being informed that the two brigades had 
 advanced too far and were out of line, ordered General Mower to retire 
 them, to connect with the established line of the army. General Fuller 
 gave this order reluctantly, and the right of the line retired after having 
 repulsed Wade Hampton's Cavalry, which bad attacked the front and right 
 flank. The Twenty-seventh Ohio and Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiments drop- 
 ped upon the ground, and continued firing until the enemy was oul of sight. 
 During the conflict, a Union soldier who had remained too long in advance 
 of the line of battle, started back to regain his regiment, when a Confeder- 
 
Organization of the First Division. 275 
 
 ate Cavalry man dashed toward him in full view of the Union troops. He 
 shouted "surrender" and instantly fired but missed. A putt of smoke, the 
 crack of a Union rifle, the Cavalry man fell from his horse, and the Union 
 soldier was saved. Sergeant E. S. Moreheed, Company K, of the Twenty- 
 seventh ( )hio, no doubt was the man who saved the Union soldier. 
 
 When the right of the brigade fell back, the three left companies I!. K. 
 and G. of the Twenty-seventh Ohio, under command of Major Charles H. 
 Smith, remained upon the field and Sergeant J. A. Stukey, earning the 
 Regimental flag, immediately joined them. These three companies moved 
 a few yards to the left and joined the Thirty-ninth Ohio under command 
 of Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Weber, which Regiment also remained in 
 its former position at the front, until the enemy had entirely disappeared 
 and all danger of attack was over. Soon after. Captain Simpson of the 
 Twenty-seventh Ohio, brought the second order to retire to the main line, 
 which was leisurely done. The Confederate Army retreated during the 
 following night, pursued by the Union Army. This was the last battle in 
 which the Twenty-seventh. Thirty-ninth. Forty-third and Sitxy-third Ohio 
 Infantry was engaged. The loss in the First Division was two hundred 
 ami fifteen killed, wounded and missing. The part taken by General Ful- 
 ler's command and its success in this action, was greater than was known 
 at the time. Had Sherman fully realized what we had accomplished, he 
 would have pushed forward and followed with his army. 
 
 ' ieneral Sherman say- : "( )n the 2Lt of March, it began to rain again 
 and we remained quiet until about noon, when General Mower, ever rash, 
 with two brigades of the Fir-t Division, broke through the rebel lines on 
 his extreme left flank and was pushing straight for Bentonville. and the 
 bridge across Mill Creek: I ordered him back to connect with his own 
 corps and lest the enemy should concentrate on him. ordered the whole 
 rebel line to be engaged with a strong skirmish fire. I think I made a 
 mistake there and should have rapidly followed Mower, with the whole of 
 the right wing, which would have brought on a general battle and it could 
 not have resulted otherwise than successfully to us. by reason of our vastly 
 superior numbers. But at the moment, tor the reason- given. I prefered to 
 make a junction with General Terry and Schofield before engaging 
 Johnston's Army, the strength of which was utterly unknown." ( Ieneral

 At Fayetteville, North Carolina March 12. Sherman communicated 
 with Honorable E. M. Stanton. Secretary of War. a- follow-: "1 know 
 that you will be pleased to hear that my army has reached this point, and 
 
276 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 has opened communication with Wilmington. I have done all that I pro- 
 posed and the fruits seem ample for the time employed. The surrender oi 
 Charleston, Georgetown and Wilmington are incidents, while the utter 
 demolition of the railroad system of South Carolina, and the utter destruc- 
 tion of the enemy's arsenals at Columbia, Cheraw and Fayetteville are the 
 principals of the movement. These points were regarded as inaccessible 
 to n--. and now no place in the Confederacy is safe against the army of the 
 west. Let Lee hold on to Richmond, and we will destroy his country, and 
 then of what use is Richmond? He must come out and right us on open 
 ground and for that we must ever he ready. Let him stick behind his 
 parapets, and he will perish. My army is as cheerful and united a- ever, 
 and as full of confidence in itself and leader-." 
 
 To General Grant. Sherman wrote. "Let's make Mire of the Mississippi 
 Valley. The Atlantic Slope and Pacific Shore- will follow its destiny, and 
 from the west we will make short work of Charlestown and Richmond." 
 
 March 22nd the First Division marched to Bentonville and saved a 
 bridge aero-- Mill Creek. On the 24th our march was continued across 
 the Neuse River, passing through Goldsborough and camping east of the 
 town. From Goldsborough a detachment of the Sixty-third Ohio was sent 
 to New Berne with several hundred animals, captured by the First Division. 
 On March 31st, the Sixty-third Ohio, Major Oscar L. Jackson Command- 
 ing, had a skirmish with the enemy. Thus was concluded the longest and 
 most important march ever made by an organized army through the enemv's 
 territory, in a civilized country. During the campaign just ended in the 
 Carolina-, from January to April there occurred one hundred and fifty 
 skirmishes. 
 
 The distance from Savannah to Goldsborough was four hundred and 
 twenty-five miles. The route traversed embraced five large and navigable 
 rivers, the Edisto. Broad, Catawba. Pee Dee and Cape Fear. The country 
 generally was almost in a state of nature, with mud roads and swamps, 
 nearly every mile of which had to he corduroyed. The whole journey was 
 accomplished in mid-winter, in fifty-five days. This movement compelled 
 the evacuation of the city and harbor of Charleston, South Carolina and the 
 army captured the important depots of supplies. Columbia. Cheraw and 
 Fayetteville. it broke the railroads and consumed food and forage for the 
 whole march. No one can tell half the story, or ever have the proper 
 understanding of that winter campaign, who did not participate in it. Many 
 nights after passing through a «la\ of fearful vicissitude- and labor, thou- 
 sands of men laid down upon the ground, without protection from the 
 storm and without food. Many inarched into Goldsborough barefooted and 
 in ragged uniform--. A large number of white refugee-, mostly in car- 
 riages, accompanied the army train- from Columbia, South Carolina and a 
 -till greater number of slave- in whole families, many walking, others in old 
 and odd vehicles, on mules and on horseback, bringing with them their

 At Goldsborough, Sherman's army was joined by General John M. Scho- 
 field's Twenty-third Corps, from Tennessee and General A. II. Terry's 
 Tenth Corps from Virginia who had marched from New Berne, North 
 Carolina. Among these troops were found fathers, brothers and other 
 relatives of the western soldiers who had not met since the war began. 
 
 At Goldsborough, North Carolina, on the 25th of March, an order 
 was issued for the use of the arrow as emblematic of this Corps (Seven- 
 teenth) for a badge, to take the place of one formerly used. As explained, 
 "the arrow is symbolic of swiftness, of surety in striking and of destructive 
 power." The arrow of the First Division was colored red. that of the 
 Second Division white, of the Third Division blue, and of the Fourth 
 Division yellow.

 I thank the army and assure it that our government and people honor them

 Report of Major-General W. T. Sherman, U. S. A. 
 
 Goldsborough, X. C, April 4th, 1865. 
 In order t" have a clear understanding of events of the late campaign, 
 1 must endeavor to group the events of the past three week-, connected 
 with the armies under my command. 
 
 1 was enabled to leave an army in the west under Major-General 
 Thomas, of sufficient strength to meet emergencies in that quarter. I con- 
 ducted another army consisting of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth, 
 and Twentieth Corps and Kilpatrick's Division of Cavalry, to the Atlantic 
 Slope, aiming- to approach the grand theater of war in Virginia bv the 
 time the season would admit of military operations in that latitude. 
 
 The first lodgment mi the coast was made at Savannah, strongly forti- 
 fied and armed, and valuable to us as a good seaport with its navigable 
 streams inland. Xear a month was consumed there in refitting the army. 
 General Howard, commanding the right wing, was ordered to embark at 
 Thunderbolt, thence by the 15th of January, make a lodgment on the 
 Charleston Railroad at or near Pocotaligo. This was accomplished punc- 
 tually at little cost by the Seventeenth Corps, Major-General Blair, ami a 
 depot of supplies was established at the mouth of Pocotaligo (reek, with 
 communication hack to Hilton Head. 
 
 The left wing. General Slocum, and the Cavalry of Major-General 
 Kilpatrick, were ordered at the same time to rendezvous near Robertsville 
 and Coosawhatchie, South Carolina, with a depot of supplies at Sister's 
 Ferry, on the Savannah River. The rains of January swelled the rivet, 
 broke the pontoon bridge and overflowed the whole bottom, so that the 
 causeway was four feet under water. Slocum was compelled to move 
 higher up the river to Sister's Ferry for a passage over. There the river 
 was overflowed and three miles wide and he did not succeed in getting his 
 command across until the first week in February. 
 
 General < .rant sent Grover's Division of the Nineteenth Corps to gar- 
 rison Savannah, and the Twenty-third Corps from Tennessee to re-enforce 
 Terry and Palmer on the coast of North Carolina to prepare the way for 
 my coming. 1 instructed General Foster to follow my movements inland 
 by occupying in succession the city of Charleston and such other points 
 along the sea coast. I advised General Grant that I would undertake at 
 one stride to make Goldsborough and open communication with the sea by 
 the New Berne Railroad about the 15th of March. 
 
280 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 On the 25th a demonstration was made against Cambahee Ferry an<l 
 kailn ail bridge aero--- the Salkehatchie against the enemy who had adopted 
 that river as his defensive line against our supposed objective, the citj of 
 Charleston. The heav) ram-- had swollen the river so that the water stood 
 in the swamps tor a breadth of more than a mile and at a depth of from one 
 to t\\ enty feet. 
 
 < In the 29th the roads back of Savannah had become sufficiently free 
 of the flood to put Slocum's wing in motion. Admiral Dalgreen furnished 
 the gunboat Pontiac and covered the crossing. General Howard moved 
 the Seventeenth Corps along the Salkehatchie as high up as River's Bridge, 
 the fifteenth Corps by Hickory Holl. Loper's Cross Roads and Buford's 
 Bridge. The Seventeenth and Fifteenth Corps drew out on the 31st of 
 January but the real march began on the 1st of February. 
 
 All the roads northward were held by Wheeler's Cavalry, who by 
 details of negro laborers, felled the trees, burned bridges, and made obstruc- 
 tion-- to impede our march, but so well organized were our pioneer bat- 
 talions, and so strong and intelligent our men that obstructions seemed only 
 to quicken their progress. Felled trees were removed and bridges rebuilt 
 b\ the heads of columns before the rear could close up. 
 
 On February 2nd the Seventeenth Corps was at River's Bridge, the 
 Fifteenth at Loper's Cross Roads. Slocum was still struggling with the 
 floods of the Savannah at Sister's Ferry with orders to hurry up and over- 
 take the right wing on the South Carolina Road. The right wing was to 
 push rapidly for the South Carolina Railroad at Midway. 
 
 The enemy was intrenched with heavy force at River's P.ridge and 
 Buford's Bridge. The Seventeenth Corps was ordered to carry River's 
 Bridge, the Fifteenth Corps to carry Buford's Bridge. The former was 
 carried skillfully and promptly by Mower's First Division. Seventeenth 
 Corps on the 3rd of February, by crossing the swamp three miles wide, 
 with water varying from knee to shoulder deep. The weather was bitter 
 cold, but Generals Mower and Smith led their Divisions in person on foot, 
 waded the swamps, made a lodgement below the bridge, and turned on the 
 rebel brigade which guarded it, driving it in confusion and disorder toward 
 Branchville. The wounded were sent to Pocotaligo. 
 
 The enemy retreated at once behind the Edisto, the whole army was 
 pushed rapidly to the South Carolina Railroad at Midway, Bramburg and 
 Graham Station. The Seventeenth Corps threatened Branchville and the 
 enemy was forced to burn the railroad bridges and Walker's Bridge below 
 across the Edisto. The railroad track was destroyed from the 7th to the 
 10th of February by the Seventeenth Corps from the Edisto up to Bram- 
 burg. ( )ur Cavalry threatened Augusta, skirmishing heavily with Wheeler's 
 Cavalry. By the 11th of February, the enemy's forces were divided at 
 Branchville and Charleston on the one hand and Aiken and Augusta On the 
 other. 
 
 The Seventeenth Corp- crossed the south fork of the Edisto River at 
 Binnaker's Bridge, and moved straight for Orangeburg and on the 12th, 
 found the enemy intrenched in front of the Orangeburg Bridge, but swept 
 him away by a dash and followed him, forcing him across the bridge which 
 was partly burned. Mower's First Division of the Seventeenth Corps was 
 
Generai Sherman's Report. 281 
 
 moved to a point two miles below where it crossed. By tour o'clock in the 
 afternoon, the whole Seventeenth Corps was in Orangeburg and began the 
 work of destroying the railroad . continuing as far as Lewisville with order- 
 to push the enemy to the Congaree River and force him to burn the bridge.-, 
 which he did on the 14th. I turned all the columns straight on Columbia. 
 The Seventeenth Corps followed the state road. The Fifteenth Corps 
 crossed the North Edisto above the mouth of Caw Caw Swamp. 
 
 The enemy was found in strong position at Little Congaree Bridge 
 aero-- Congaree Creek, commanding the bridge with artillery. The ground 
 in front was very bad, with a fresh deposit of mud from a recent overflow. 
 The enemy's flank was turned by sending Stone's Brigade through a cypress 
 swamp to the left and. following up the retreating enemy promptly, we got 
 possession of the bridge and fort beyond. 
 
 February 16th, we reached the bank of the Congaree River, opposite 
 Columbia, too late to save the tine bridge that spanned the river at tin- 
 point. General Howard, Army of the Tennessee. Seventeenth Corps, First 
 Division, First Brigade, crossed the Saluda near the factory and on the 
 same night made a flying bridge across the Broad River about three mile- 
 above Columbia. A party of the Seventeenth Corps, crossed the Congaree 
 in a skiff and entered from a point immediately west. Orders were to 
 destroy all arsenals and public property not needed for our own use, as well 
 as depots, railroads, and machinery, useful to the enemy, but to spare all 
 dwellings, -chools, colleges, asylums, and harmless private property. < ien- 
 eral Wade Hampton (Rebel) had ordered all cotton, public and private, 
 should be moved into the streets and fired, not in manifestation of a silly 
 Roman stoicism, but from folly and want of sense. 
 
 Railroads were destroyed with other property to the Wateree Bridge 
 and in the direction of Winnsborough. Slocum turned to the Catawba River 
 and crossed in a terrible rain. General Beauregard had retreated with all 
 his cavalry from Columbia. Cheatham of Hood's old Army was trying to 
 make a junction with him at Charlotte. The right wing had broken up the 
 railroad and turned for Peay's Ferry, where it was crossed over the Ca- 
 tawba before the heavy rains set in. the Seventeenth Corps moving straight 
 on Cheraw via Young's Bridge. 
 
 Butler's 1 Hvision of the enemy'- Cavalry was met at Mount Elon. 
 Much bad road wa- encountered at Lynch's Creek, which delayed the 
 right wing as the left wing had been at the Catawba. On March 2nd. the 
 Seventeenth Corp- entered Cheraw, the enemy retreating across the Pee 
 Dee, and burning the bridge at that point. At Cheraw we found much 
 ammunition and many guns which had been brought from Charleston on 
 the evacuation of that city. These were destroyed, also the railroad trestles 
 and bridge- down as far as Darlington, and part of the branch road from 
 Cheraw to Florence. 
 
 The right wing crossed the Pee Dee at Cheraw, the weather unfavor- 
 able and the roads bad. The Seventeenth Corps reached Fayettsville with 
 the Fourteenth Corps on the 11th of March, skirmishing with Wade Hamp- 
 ton's Cavalry, that covered Hardee'- retreating army, which crossed the Cape 
 Fear River, burning the bridges. On the 9th of March, Killpatrick was 
 surprised and his camp captured, but he rallied and drove the enemy. At 
 
282 Fuller's Ohio Brigadi . 
 
 Fayetteville, the old L nited States Arsenal and the vast amount of machin- 
 ery, which had formerly belonged to the old Harper's Ferry Vrsenal, was 
 destroyed absolutely, every building was knocked down and burned, even 
 piece of machinery was utterh broken up and some was cast into the rivei 
 
 Up in this period. 1 had succeeded in interposing my superior army 
 between the scattered parts of the enemy. But the fragments that had left 
 Columbia under Beauregard had been re-enforced by Cheatham's and Lee's 
 (nips from the west and the garrison at Augusta. Hardee was across the 
 I ape Fear River ahead of me and could complete the junction with the 
 armies of John-tun and Hoke in North Carolina, and the whole under 
 skillful and experienced Joe Johnston, superior to me in cavalry and for- 
 midable enough in artillery and infantry, to justify me in extreme caution. 
 
 My two best -emits reached Wilmington with the intelligence of out 
 position. ( )n .March 10th the army tug "Davidson" reached Fayetteville 
 from Wilmington, and the same day the gunboat Elous of the United States 
 Xavy also reached Fayetteville. General I Inward of the Army of the Tenn- 
 essee -ent trains to the right toward Faison's Depot, to be ready to go to 
 the aid of the left wing if attacked while in motion. The weather continued 
 bad, the roads had become mere quagmire, and almost every foot had to 
 be corduroyed to admit the pas-age of wheels. 
 
 The enemy was developed with artillery, infantry, and cavalry in an 
 intrenched position where the road branches oft" toward Goldsborough 
 through Bentonville. Hardee'- force was estimated at twenty thousand and 
 it was necessary to dislodge him that we might have the use of the Colds- 
 borough Road as also to keep up the feint on Raleigh. The enemy was 
 attacked on the Goldsborough Road, who retreated in a miserable, stormy 
 light over the worst of roads. Hardee retreated on Smithfield. 
 
 I camped with Slocum's Column, twenty-seven miles from Golds- 
 borough. The Army of the Tennessee was two miles south with pickets 
 three mile- forward. I found Howard's Army of the Tennessee well strung 
 out owing to the very had roads, and one regiment forward to the cross 
 mads near (ox's Bridge, across the Xeuse River. Staff Officers reporting 
 that the left wing had developed near Bentonville, the whole of the Rebel 
 Army, I ordered that they fight defensively until I could call up Blair's 
 Seventeenth Corps, then near Mount Olive Station, and come up "it John- 
 ston's left rear from the direction of Cox's Bridge. Couriers from Scho- 
 field, reported him in possession of Kingston. 
 
 The First Division of the Seventeenth Corps made a night march to 
 Falling Creek Church and by daylight was in rapid march on Bentonville. 
 Slocum's left wing had the whole of the Confederate Army in their front 
 and was attacked receiving six distinct assaults by the combined force- oi 
 Hoke, Hardee, and Cheatham, under command of General Joe Johnston 
 himself, who moving rapidly by night from Smithfield. without unnecessary 
 wheels, intended to overwhelm my left flank before it could be relieved 1>\ 
 'my co-operating columns. 
 
 (hi the 2Dt a steady rain prevailed, during which General Mower's 
 First Division of the Seventeenth Corps, on the extreme right had worked 
 well to the right around the enemy's flank, and had readied the enemy's 
 Hank and had nearly readied the bridge across Mill Creek, the onlv line of 
 
General Sherman's Report. 283 
 
 retreat open to the enemy. ( )f course there was danger that the enemy 
 would turn on him all his reserves and. it might be, lee go his parapet- to 
 overwhelm Mower. Accordingly I ordered an attack from left to right 
 by our skirmishers. Quite a noisy battle ensued during which Genera! 
 Mower was enabled to regain his connection with his Corps by moving to 
 his left rear. Still he had developed a weakness in the enemy's position, of 
 which advantage might have been taken, but that night the enemy retreated 
 to Smithfield, leaving his pickets to fall in our hands, with many dead, un- 
 buried. and wounded in his field hospitals. General Johnston had utterly 
 failed in his attempt, and we remained in full possession of the field of 
 battle. 
 
 I am satisfied that the enemy lost heavily. 
 
 We had completed our march on the 21st and had full possession of 
 Goldsborough, the real objective, with its two railroads back to the seaports 
 of Wilmington and Beaufort, North Carolina. Supplies had been brought 
 forward to Kingston and our wagons had been sent forward to receive 
 them. Howard with the Army of the Tennessee remained during the 22nd 
 at Bentonville to bury the dead and remove the wounded and on the follow- 
 ing day all the armies moved to the camps assigned them about Golds- 
 borough. The Right Wing (Howard's Army of the Tennessee i reached 
 ( ioldsborough on the 24th. 
 
 In general terms we have traversed the country from Savannah n i 
 Goldsborough w ith an average breadth of forty miles, consuming all the 
 forage, cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry, cured meats, corn meal and so forth. 
 The public enemy instead of drawing supplies from that region to feed his 
 armies will be compelled to Mini provisions from other quarters to feed 
 the inhabitants. Of course the abandonment to us by the enemy of the 
 whole sea coast from Savannah to New Heme, North Carolina, with its 
 forts, dock yards, gunboats, and so forth was a necessary incident to our 
 occupation and destruction of the inland routes of travel and supply. But 
 the real object of this march was to place this army in a position easy of 
 supply whence it could take an appropriate part in the spring and summer 
 campaign of 1865. This was accomplished on the 21st of March by the 
 junction of the three armies i Sherman's. Terry's and Schofield's ) . and occu- 
 pation of Goldsborough. 
 
 I beg to express in most emphatic manner my entire satisfaction with 
 the tone and temper of the whole army. Nothing seems to dampen their 
 energy, zeal or cheerfulness. It is impossible to conceive a march involv- 
 ing more labor and exposure, yet I cannot recall an instance of bad tem- 
 per by the way, or hearing an expression of doubt as to our perfect success 
 in the end. I believe that this cheerfulness and harmony of action reflects 
 upon all concerned quite as much honor and fame as "Battles gained" or 
 "Cities won," and 1 therefore commend all Generals. Staff Officers, and 
 men, for these high qualities, in addition to the more soldierly ones of 
 obedience to orders and the alacrity they have always manifested when 
 danger summoned them "to the front." 
 
 On the 1st of April, our arn.y lay at Goldsborough with detachments 
 distributed ?o as to cover and secure our routes of communication and 
 supply hack to the sea at Wilmington and Morehead City. All were busy in 
 
284 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 repairing the wear and tear of our then recent and hard march from Sa- 
 vannah, and in replenishing clothing and stores necessary for a further 
 pi i igress. 
 
 In the meantime, Major-General George Stoneman, operating from 
 Easl Tennessee, with a division of Cavalry, had reached the railroad about 
 Greensboro, North Carolina, and had pushed to Salisbury, destroying 
 bridges and all kinds of rebel supplies to the Catawba Bridge. This was 
 fatal to the hostile armies of Lee and Johnston, who depended upon that 
 road for their supplies, and fur their ultimate line of retreat. Major- 
 General Wilson, also in command of the Cavalry Corps organized by him- 
 self had started from Decatur and Florence, Alabama, and moved straight 
 into the heart of Alabama, and struck one of the best blows of the war. 
 Hi-, route, Tuscaloosa, Selma, Montgomery, Columbus, and Macon, was 
 never before touched by our troops. 
 
 My purpose up to that time was to move more rapidly northward. 
 feigning on Raleigh and striking for Burksville, thereby interposing 1 be- 
 tween Johnston and Lee, but the auspicious events in Virginia had changed 
 the whole military problem, and in the expressive language of Lieutenant- 
 General Grant, "the Confederate Armies of Lee and Johnston" became the 
 ''strategic points." 1 estimated Johnston's Army at about thirty-five thou- 
 sand. He was superior to me in cavalry. 
 
 On April 10th at daybreak, the heads of columns were in motion 
 straight against the enemy. General Howard's Army of the Tennessee, 
 making a circuit by the right and feigning up the Weldon Road to discon- 
 cert the enemy's cavalry. All the columns met, within six miles of Golds- 
 borough, more or less cavalry, with the usual rail barricades, which were 
 swept before us as chaff. Johnston retreated rapidly across the Neuse 
 River. 
 
 The rains had set in, making the resort to corduroy absolutely neces- 
 sary to pass even ambulances. The enemy burned the bridge at Smith- 
 field, we crossed over and there heard of the surrender of Lee's Army at 
 Appomattox Court Mouse, Virginia, which was announced to the armies 
 in orders and created universal joy. Without a moment's hesitation, we 
 dropped our trains and marched rapidly in pursuit to and through Raleigh, 
 reaching that place on the loth in a heavy rain. The cavalry went to Dur- 
 ham Station, the Seventeenth Corps (First Division, First and Second 
 Brigades) to Jones Station. Johnston's Army was retreating rapidly to 
 Greensborough. By the 15th the rains were incessant and the roads almost 
 impracticable. 1 received General Johnston's first letter. April 14th. I 
 agreed to meet him at a point intermediate between our pickets on the 
 17th. We were delayed to reconstruct the railroad in the rear. At noon 
 on the day appointed, I met General Johnston and he gave me to under- 
 stand that further war on the part of the Confederacy (Confederate 
 troops') was folly, that their cause was lost, and that every life sacrificed 
 after the surrender of Lee's Army was the "Highest possible crime." He 
 admitted that the terms conceded to General Lee were magnanimous and 
 all he could ask. I again nut General Johnston on the 18th. He satisfied 
 me then of his power to disband two rebel armies in Alabama. Mississippi, 
 Louisiana, and Texas, also North Carolina. South Carolina, Florida and 
 Georgia. 
 
General Fuller's Report. 285 
 
 The new- of President Lincoln'- assassination reached me on the 17th 
 and was announced to my command on the same day. On the 24th. I 
 learned that the memorandum was disapproved. < ieneral Grant arrived. 
 General Johnston was notified of the suspension of the truce. General 
 [ohnston surrendered on the 26th. the term- of capitulation being sub- 
 mitted to General Grant. Thus wa- surrendered the second great army of 
 the so-called Confederacy, accomplished without further ruin and devasta- 
 tion to the country and without the loss of a single life to those gallant 
 men who had followed me from the Mississippi to the Atlantic. 
 
 I have ni> doubt that fifty thousand armed men of the rebel army were 
 disarmed and restored to civil pursuits by the capitulation made near Dur- 
 ham Station. North Carolina on the 26th of April. ( )n May 9th I reached 
 Manchester on the James River, opposite Richmond, and found that all 
 the four Corps had arrived from Raleigh and were engaged in replenishing 
 their wagons for the resumption of the march toward Alexandria. Virginia.

 Report of Brigade-General /. \\~ . I idler, U. S. A., Concerning 
 Operations, February 2nd, 3rd and 9th. 
 
 Headquarters ix the Field, First Brigade, 
 First Division, Seventeenth Corps. 
 
 February 4th. 1865. 
 
 At about two o'clock in the afternoon, February 2nd. three regiments 
 of my command, then forming in the rear of my Division, reaching the 
 swamps near River'- Bridge ( Salkahatchie River i from which point the 
 enemy'- artillery was firing at the troops in advance of me. Soon after 1 
 was ordered by the Major-General commanding the Division, to send 
 one regiment into the swamp on the right, or easterly side of the road, 
 and the other two on the westerly side, to support the line already formed. 
 This order was executed, the Twenty-seventh Ohio forming the line on the 
 right of the road, and the Thirty-ninth Ohio and Sixty-fourth Illinois on the 
 left. The regiments remained in the swamp during the afternoon. At 
 night the regiment on the right of the road was withdrawn and an hour 
 or two afterward. T sent the Eighteenth Missouri to relieve the regiment- 
 on the left. This regiment (it had marched with the train all day) re- 
 mained on duty all night, five companies deployed as skirmishers, and the 
 remainder held' as a reserve on the road. During the night some of t he 
 skirmishers constructed rifle pit- on the road, near the enemy'- batteries, 
 with a view of rendering it hazardous for him to use his guns. 
 
 < In the morning of the 3rd, I detailed the Twenty-seventh Ohio to 
 procure and carry lumber into the swam]). Later they were supplied with 
 axe- and ordered to cut and bridge a road leading through the river. A 
 squad of the regiment serving as Fkirmishers to cover the advance work- 
 ing parties, succeeded in crossing the main branch of the river about one 
 or two o'clock and came upon a picket post of the enemy. Soon after this 
 
286 Fuller's < »hio Brigade. 
 
 was announced the skirmishers of the Third Brigade were crossed and a 
 detail of the Twenty-seventh < Hiio felled some large tree- across the 
 stream to facilitate the passage of our troops. Aboul three o'clock in the 
 afternoon, I was ordered to move with my Brigade into the mad in the 
 swamp ami soon after to cross the river. Captain DeGress, who brought 
 the order, said that after crossing, "You will act upon your own judgment."' 
 The crossing was slow and difficult owing to the deep water of the swamp 
 and to the very few logs which were available in crossing the main river. 
 \- soon as I reached the opposite bank and learned the situation. 1 di- 
 rected Colonel Tillson not to advance his command until the troops of my 
 Brigade should be formed on his left, as I intended swinging forward the 
 left of the line, in hopes of out-Hanking and securing such of the rebel- as 
 were at or near their works. In order that no mistake might occur. I 
 sent Colonel Tillson and Colonel Sheldon the following order: "When the 
 line moves forward, Colonel Tillson will aim to keep his right, on or near 
 the river. Colonel Sheldon will dress to the right, on Colonel Tillson, but 
 be careful not to crowd to the right. Bayonets will be fixed, when the 
 bugle sounds 'Attention." If we find the rebels intrenched, we must rush 
 forward and carry them by storm. As Colonel Sheldon ha- to swing his 
 left forward. Colonel Tillson will move -lowly at the start. The Eighteenth 
 Missouri will move in reserve, behind the brigade-." 
 
 Colonel Montgomery's brigade arriving, was directed to form on the 
 left of the First Brigade, to form his left regiment, faced to the left and 
 to march it by the right Hank. I sounded the advance, moved my own brigade 
 to the high and open ground near the enemy's position. As - ion a- the 
 Second Brigade came up, we were advancing rapidly on the left and were 
 executing a right wheel in fine style and driving the rebel- before us, when 
 the Major-Genera! arrived and assumed command. Upon reaching the 
 line of woods, which is nearly in the rear of the enemy's work-, we were 
 ordered to halt. Our skirmisher- -non ascertained that the enemy had 
 abandoned his position and fled. A few willing prisoners were picked up 
 and about twenty dead and wounded rebels were found in a building which 
 hail served as an hospital. The wounded of this brigade were seven of the 
 Thirty-ninth ( )hio and one of the Eighteenth Missouri. 
 
 ( )n February 19th, 1865, two regiments of this brigade, the Eighteenth 
 Missouri and the Sixty-fourth Illinois, crossed the Edisto River on the 
 night of the ninth inst.. the other two remained on the south bank until 
 the pontoon bridge was completed. The Twenty-seventh Ohio and the 
 Thirty-ninth Ohio waded the swamp and suffered both from the bitter cold 
 weather and the long time in which they were delayed in the water.

 Report of General John W. Fuller. 
 
 \i.\k Goldsborough, North Caroi cna, March 2?. 1865. 
 I have the honor to report that during the action of the 21-t inst., 
 (Bentonville), my Brigade formed on the right of tin line, five companies 
 
 of the Eighteenth Missouri were ordered to cover the road upon which we 
 
General Fuller's Report. 287 
 
 had marched. The remaining companies formed the right. The Twenty- 
 seventh Ohio in the center and the Thirty-ninth Ohio on the left of my 
 line, comprised an aggregate of about -ix hundred men. besides the regi- 
 ment serving as skirmishers. The Sixty-fourth fllinois covered the front 
 and right flank of the brigade. In advancing we encountered a swamp, im- 
 passible for horse-. We crossed lmt were compelled to move mere slowly. 
 As we emerged into an open field, one of General Mower's staff brought 
 an order to double-quick. This was immediately repeated and the whole 
 line passed over the field at this step. 
 
 About this time the enemy used some artillery against us and a- we 
 reached the opposite woods, the Major-General ordered a halt. This order 
 was repeated by my staff, also by one of (leneral Mower- staff officers 
 along a portion of the line and also by my bugler, lmt the men who had 
 caught sight of an abandoned casson were cheering so as to render it im- 
 possible to hear the orders and they continued to rush forward until we 
 reached the enemy's intrenched line, from which he ran at full speed. Here 
 the Major-General rode up to the front of my brigade and ordered the 
 line to advance, whereupon we passed over the enenw's intrenchments and 
 occupied the crest of the hill beyond. Sharp firing was heard from our 
 skirmishers in front, and also from my left. They reported cavalry moving 
 to our right and soon after reported infantry moving in the same direction. 
 I faced the Eighteenth Missouri to the right to better cover that flank. 
 1 moved the Thirty-ninth ( >hio a few yards to the left but was again forced 
 to the front. The enemy attacked. I directed the right of the line to swing 
 back so a- to present a strong front to the right flank. We re-ted at the 
 works which had been thrown up by the enemy near the base of the ridge. 
 Our right oblique fire was so sharp as to halt the enemy's line and cause 
 him to retire. Our skirmishers re-occupied the bill and drove the enemy 
 over the crest. Our line was advanced within two hundred yard- of 
 (right up to and around) General Joe Johston's headquarters, inducing 
 the rebel commander and his -taff to make a rapid move to the rear. We 
 passed to the open field and intrenched in the rear of the Third Brigade. 
 Loss: Killed. 5; wounded. 40: missing. 19; total, 64.

 Report of Major Daniel Weber, U. S. A.. Concerning Operations 
 February 2nd to 4th and A/are// 21st. 
 
 March 25th. 1865. 
 1 have the honor to report that on February 2nd. while the regiment 
 was following the Twenty-seventh Ohio on the road to River'- Bridge, 1 
 received an order to move in line through the -want]) with the right of 
 the regiment near the road within about fifty yards of the front line and 
 there to halt. This order wa- executed with some difficulty in consequence 
 of the almost impassible condition of the swamp, the water in places being 
 more than knee deep and full of fallen timber and undergrowth. The 
 regiment with the Twenty-seventh Ohio remained in position until ten 
 
288 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 o'clock at nighl when it was relieved by the Sixty-fourth Illinois Infantry 
 and moved to camp about one mile to the rear, where it remained until 
 aboul three o'clock in the afternoon, February 4th. when tlii> regiment in 
 obedience to orders, moved with the Twenty-seventh Ohio forward toward 
 the bridge, following the Eighteenth Missouri. After moving about half a 
 mile, we filed to the left o'n a road through the swamp nearly to the Salke- 
 hatchie River, where the command had to again wade the swamp for some 
 distance. Crossing the river on logs, under fire, we formed line under 
 fire of the enemy's skirmishers on the left hank of the river and on the 
 left (if the Third Brigade, the Sixty-fourth Illinois forming on our left, 
 i ompany 1\ was deployed a- skirmishers in front of the regiment. After 
 remaining in this position a -hurt time the line advanced through a swamp 
 until it passed through the timber and arrived on open ground, where it was 
 halted. After being re-adjusted, it again advanced under a fire from the 
 enemy's skirmishers across an open field and through a narrow belt of 
 timber, where it was halted and a rail barricade was erected. Remaining 
 there a short time, the line changed direction, facing north, forming on tin 
 right of the Sixty- fourth Illinois. During the night the regiment intrenched 
 itself in this position. I must say that all officers and men conducted them- 
 selves in a manner alike creditable to themselves and their commands. The 
 casualties are as follows : eight enlisted men wounded. 
 
 At Bentonville, on the 21st of March, 1865, the regiment moved with 
 the First Division, taking a road in a north-easterly direction. We moved 
 about two miles, formed line on the right of the Third Brigade, facing nearly 
 west, moved forward in line through a swamp and dense thicket to elevated 
 ground, where the enemy had been posted behind a barricade of rails 
 and loo,. f r o m which he had been driven by the skirmish line. After 
 reaching this point, the line moved at a double-quick in order to secure 
 some pieces of artillery posted about three hundred yards to the front. 
 which the enemy had been using, but he succeeded in getting them off. 
 The line halted after reaching the hill and was readjusted (the men were 
 anxious to go forward). Soon the enemy was seen to advance in line, but 
 after a sharp fight was driven back in a few minutes. The regiments, then, 
 after the right of the line had been ordered back, remained in position, 
 with three companies of the Twenty-seventh Ohio Infantry, with their 
 regimental flag (color bearer J. S. Stocky) under command of Captain 
 Charles H. Smith, until a second order came from General Fuller, broueht 
 by Captain Simpson of the Twenty-seventh, to move by the flank to the 
 rear and left about half a mile, where it took position <>n a hill and 
 intrenched. The casualties are as follows: three killed, seventeen wounded 
 and four missing. Number of officers engaged, eighteen and of men. three 
 hundred. Daniel Weber.

 River's Bridge, South Carolina, February 20th, 1865. 
 
 I have the honor to report that on the 29th ultimo, I assumed command 
 of this Brigade. January 30th. in compliance with orders, we marched at 
 seven o'clock in the morning. The Brigade being in the rear, marched six 
 miles. On the 31st. we lay in camp. < hi February 1st. we marched in the center 
 of the Division. The enemy fell back and destroyed the bridges across 
 Whippy Swamp. The Division moved across the stream on logs or planks 
 and camped at Harrison's plantation. On the 2nd. we marched and halted 
 near William's plantation. At eleven o'clock in the morning, we moved 
 forward toward River's Bridge, met the outpost of the enemy and drove 
 them in and followed them with rapidity. The skirmishers of the Twenty- 
 fifth Wisconsin moved by a road to the left. When about half way to the 
 fort, they were shelled, killing the First Sergeant of Company I and the 
 Chief Bugler of the regiment. The Thirty-fifth Xew Jersey was formed 
 in the rear on the left of the road, the Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio 
 on the right. In the morning, the Forty-third crossed the road to the 
 right of the skirmish line. Colonel Wager Swayne was wounded by a shell 
 and his right leg was amputated above the knee. The losses were as fol- 
 lows: In the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin, three killed and four wounded; in 
 the Forty-third Ohio, two wounded. 
 
 In February 3rd, the Sixty-third ( (hio and the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin 
 sent a detail of axmen to cut a road through the swamp and the Thirty- 
 fifth New Jersey was detailed to carry boards to lay on the road. About 
 two o'clock in the afternoon, a crossing had been effected. The Fort} 
 third Ohio, Major Horace Park, commanding, moved forward. Two 
 companies with fixed bayonets, one on either side of the road were sent 
 forward. Finally the whole regiment moved forward up the road, under 
 fire of the battery in front. Three companies of the Sixty-third ( >hio were 
 also sent by company, in the same manner, when an order was received to 
 move the rest of the Sixty-third Ohio and the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin 
 through the swamp by a new road. This was done. They then formed on 
 the left of the First Brigade who had preceded the Second Brigade. An 
 advance was then ordered, changing direction continually to the right, 
 until word was received that the enemy had evacuated and the works were 
 ours. Our loss this day was. in the Forty-third Ohio, six killed, eighl 
 wounded; in the Sixty-third Ohio, three killed, six wounded. The total 
 loss in two days was nine killed and twentv-three wounded. The officers 
 and men acted bravely, moving forward with great coolness and courage 
 under a heavy fire of musket shot and shell. On the 9th, we moved from 
 Bennaker's Bridge, and were shelled by the enemy, wounding Lieutenant 
 
290 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 J. R. Casson. We forded the swamp with the water waisl deep and then 
 camped. A pontoon was laid at five o'clock in the afternoon. After cross- 
 ing the pontoon, we waded through a swamp, then moved forward until 
 notice was received that the enemy had evacuated. We wen! into camp 
 at eleven o'clock at night.

 made. The Right Wing : Army of the Tennessee, Major-General O. O.

 Subsequently, General Howard was summoned to Washington to take 
 charge of the bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and abandoned lands, and 
 ( ieneral Logan was given command of the Army of the Tennessee until it 
 was disbanded. 
 
 Confidential orders from General Sherman to his commanders pointed 
 out the next grand objective point to place his army, was north of the 
 Roanoke River, with a base of supplies at Norfolk, Virginia, and in full 
 communication with the Army of the Potomac, about Petersburg. 
 
 At this time, the First Division of the Seventeenth Corps, Brigadier- 
 General M. F. Force, commanding, consisted of three brigades. First 
 Brigade: Brigadier-General John W. Fuller, commanding the Eighteenth 
 Missouri Infantry, the Twenty-seventh Ohio Infantry, Thirty-ninth Ohio 
 Infantrv, and the Sixty-fourth Illinois Infantry. Second Brigade: Briga- 
 dier-General John W. Sprague, commanding, the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin

 Infantry, and the Sixty-third Ohio Infantry. Third Brigade : Lieutenant- 
 Colonel J. S. Wright, commanding the Tenth Illinois Infantry, the Twenty- 
 fifth Indiana Infantry, and the Thirty-second Wisconsin Infantry. The 
 Union army remained at Goldsborough only long enough to be furnished 
 with new clothing and load their wagons and then passed on toward 
 Raleigh. 
 
 The following resolutions were received by the army :

 achievement.

 < >n April 10th the First Division vacated its low, wet and crowded 
 ramp, northeast of Goldsborough and amidst heavy rains, marched north- 
 westerly, a distance of twelve miles. The roads were had and much of the 
 time was spent in corduroying them, in order that the artillery and wagon 
 train-- could move. The troops at the same time, had to pass through 
 fields and byways. The same conditions of weather and march continued 
 the next day. 
 
 ( In the 12th, the Division marched eight miles, and while in motion, an 
 officer appealed on horseback, riding at great speed, from the front, shout- 
 ing the glad tidings of the surrender by General Lee of his whole army 
 to General U. S. Grant. The troops were halted and General Sherman's 
 special field order, confirming the news, was read to them. Then there 
 was heard along the lines, vociferous cheering and other manifestations 
 of delight. 
 
 On the 13th, the advance of our army entered Raleigh, the hirst 
 Division arriving there on the following day, after a march of seventeen 
 miles. The heads of columns were headed toward Ashborough with a 
 contemplated movement on Greensborough, for the purpose of cutting off 
 the enemy's only line of retreat by Salisbury and Charlotte. 
 
 ( >n the 14th, the First Division marched out from its camp and while 
 the regiments stood strung out on the road, in a drenching rain, waiting 
 for orders, news came that at Durham Station, the enemy was found suing 
 for peace instead of war. A flag of truce had come into our lines from 
 Genera] Johnston, asking for a "suspension of hostilities until the civil 
 authorities could enter into the needful arrangements to terminate the 
 existing war." ( leneral Sherman answered "that he was fully empowered 
 to arrange any time for the suspension of further hostilities and explained 
 to Johnston that President Lincoln's proclamation of amnesty on December 
 8th, 1863, still in force, enabled every Confederate soldier and officer 
 below the rank of Colonel to obtain an absolute pardon, by simply laying 
 down his arms and taking the common oath of allegiance, and that General 
 Grant, in accepting the surrender of General Lee's Army, had extended the 
 same principle to all the officers. General Lee included. Such a pardon.

 he understood, would restore to them all their rights of citizenship, but he 
 had no authority to make final terms, involving civil, or political questions. 
 These must be submitted to the authorities at Washington." 
 
 On the 17th. General Sherman announced by a field order which was 
 read to the army, the sad news of the assassination of President Lincoln. 
 It brought great sorrow to the soldiers for Lincoln was particularly 
 endeared to them. They stood in groups and talked seriously of the murder. 
 The marked friendliness exhibited by the citizens of Raleigh, and the 
 Union sentiments that prevailed, prevented the city from being destroyed 
 — an event which had been greatly feared. In fact no act of violence was 
 committed nor harm of any kind done, throughout the commonwealth of 
 North Carolina. The First Division remained in cam]) until the 24th when 
 all of the Seventeenth corps was reviewed by Generals Grant, Sherman, 
 Meade, Howard and other officers. General Fuller and the other Division 
 and I'.rigade Commanders took their places with t lie reviewing officers as 
 their own commands passed, and each officer mounted was attended by a 
 brilliant staff. Review of troops during actual warfare in the held is 
 impressive, the marching columns, the blare of bugle, the roll of drums, 
 the dip of the colors, the waving flags, the salutations of the officers is 
 inspiring, yet are attended with great fatigue to the soldier. 
 
 On the 26th, General Johnston signed the terms submitted to him for 
 surrender which included his own and the entire army of the south and 
 southwest. General Grant approved the terms. The Union soldiers were 
 unable to restrain their joy and the old North State rung witli their loud 
 huzzas for the war was at an end and the Union was preserved. 
 
 Their great work was accomplished. Their success was due to hard 
 work and discipline. They had done all that men could do and it was 
 their right to join in the universal joy that filled the hearts of the people 
 of the land. Just one vear previous to this time. Sherman's army had 
 gathered from other fields and near the Tennessee River at Chattanooga 
 were organized and consolidated, for this the greatest campaign of all wars, 
 and now the army which had been commanded successively by Albert Sid- 
 ney Johnston, Beauregard, Bragg, Joseph E. Johnston ami Hood, re-en- 
 forced by Longstreet's divisions and which was considered one of the besi 
 drilled and most formidable armies on either side set on foot during the 
 war, surrendered to Sherman's army and disappeared as an organized force.

 Mf.STFR OUT OF THE TIIIRTY-FI FTH NEW J FRSF. V. THE 
 WIIRTY-SECOND AND TWFXTY-FIFTH \V ISO IX.S1X. 
 
 ( )n April 29th, the Twenty-seventh, the Thirty-ninth, the Forty-third 
 and the Sixty-third ( )hio, the Sixty-fourth Illinois, the Eighteenth Mis- 
 souri, the Thirty-fifth New Jersey, and the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin, the 
 Tenth Illinois, the Twenty-fifth Indiana, and the Thirty-second Wisconsin, 
 constituting the First Division. Seventeenth Army Corps, marched out of 
 their camps at Raleigh, North Carolina, with Washington as their destina- 
 tion. At one o'clock the next morning, they arrived at the Xeuse River 
 and camped there, wet to the skin from the rain. 
 
 On .May 1st. a march of sixteen miles was made. .Many Confederate 
 officers were at home, who with women, children and negroes, crowded to 
 the windows and doors of the houses to see Sherman's Army pass by. 
 After passing through Forrestville a camp was made at Tar River. 
 
 On May 2nd, a march of twenty miles was made along the Raleigh 
 and Gaston Railroad. On May 3rd. a distance of twenty-two miles was 
 covered. < >n May 4th, another camp was made five miles away. On May 
 5th, a march of forty-five miles was made. The troops commenced their 
 march at one o'clock in the morning, crossed the Roanoke River on pon- 
 toon bridges, crossed Meherrin River at noon, and camped at four o'clock 
 in the afternoon, near Chestnut Crt/ss Roads, having traversed a distance 
 of forty-five miles, in fifteen and one half hours. 
 
 On May 6th, they marched twenty-five miles and camped near Din- 
 widdie Court House. On May 7th, marched fourteen miles, crossed the 
 Appomattox River, passed the earthworks built on the Boynton plank Road 
 by the Army of the Potomac, and camped west of Petersburgh. 
 
 ( >n May 8th, marched through the principal streets of Petersburgh, 
 passed the defences built by General Butler's forces when they seized the 
 Weldon Railroad, and camped near Swift Creek on the rebel General 
 Earley's former camp ground. On May 19th. they made a march of

 the Pamunkey River. On May 15th, they marched eighteen miles, crossed 
 the Mataponey and Ta Rivers and camped on the mirth side of the Xy 
 River; 
 
 On May l<>th they marched twenty-three miles, through Fredericks- 
 burgh, cro ed the Rappahannock River on pontoons and camped near 
 Falmouth on ground formerly occupied by the Army of the Potomac. On 
 May 17th. they marched a distance of eighteen miles, during which time 
 the heat was excessive. Camp was made at Stafford Springs. On May 18th, 
 the weather continued hot, a march of eighteen miles was made, the men 
 waded across the < >ccoquan River, and crossed over part of Second Bull 
 Run battle field. 
 
 ( )n the 19th, a distance of sixteen miles was covered and a camp made 
 three miles from Alexandria. Virginia. The same Court Martial of which 
 the writer was a member, at Beaufort, South Carolina, convened at differ- 
 ent places, on the route and again at Alexandria. The total distance 
 marched Cri m Raleigh, North Carolina was three hundred miles. 
 
 On May 18th, the War Department issued special order number 239, 
 ordering a grand review by President Johnston and his cabinet, of all tin- 
 armies, then near Washington. The review of General Mead's Army of 
 the Potomac was to occur on Tuesday, May 23rd and Sherman's Army of tire 
 Tennessee, on Wednesday the 24th. The camps on the south side of the 
 Potomac were not only inconvenient but the grounds assigned the troops, 
 had been so long used for camps that they were foul and unfit. Camps 
 were therefore provided and assigned for the troops on the north side. 
 During the afternoon and night of the 23rd. a large part of the troop-, of 
 the Fifteenth, Seventeenth, and Twentieth Corps crossed the Long Bridge 
 and bivouacked about the streets of the Capitol. The Fourteenth Corps 
 closed up to the bridge. 
 
 May 23rd, the Army of the Potomac which had been the bulwark i f 
 the national Capitol during the war marched in review. The morning ol 
 the 24th was extremely beautiful, the weather continued fine all day. and 
 the ground was in good condition for our review. The First Division 
 marched through Alexandria, Virginia, crossed the Long Bridge, over the 
 Potomac River, and proceeded up to and around the Capitol Building. 
 Punctually at nine o'clock, the signal gun was fired and Sherman's Army. 
 whose first commander was General C. S. Grant and which had twice cut 
 the Confederacy in twain, marched in magnificent columns, sixty-five 
 thousand strong, along Pennsylvania Avenue, wheeled to the right at the 
 Treasury Building, then to the left, then passed the reviewing stand, in 
 front of the White House. There stood the President of the United 
 States, Andrew Johnson, the Commanders of the Armies. Grant, Sherman, 
 and other officers, members of the Cabinet and ministers from foreign 
 
298 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 countries. The columns continued along Fourteenth Street and the First 
 Division went into camp at Silver Springs. 
 
 The marching men were in perfect order and at quick step moved with 
 military precision, with glistening muskets and with tattered and bullet- 
 ridden Mass, they passed in the order of the Fifteenth, Seventeenth, Four- 
 teenth, and Twentieth Corps. Officers of the government and throngs of 
 people watched these sixty-five thousand heroes, who had just completed a 
 march of over two thousand miles in a hostile country. Xot a soul in that 
 vast throng left his place. From the upper window of a brick house, Mr. 
 Seward, Secretary of State witnessed the review, lie was -till bandaged 
 on account of the wounds he received from the assassin. 
 
 Buildings throughout the city were covered with flags. The great 
 Capitol Building was draped from dome to base and all public buildings 
 were covered with emblems of mourning. All fla^s and guidons of the 
 regiments were draped in black, and on the arm of each officer and on the 
 hilt of his sword was tied a piece of crape in memory of President Lincoln, 
 that great, wise, patient, merciful man, renowned throughout the world. 
 Great multitudes of people thronged the streets and housetops to see the 
 pageant and with smiling faces and loud cheers waved their handker- 
 chiefs, or threw bouquets to the marching soldiers and gave a royal wel- 
 come to these heroes. 
 
 Sherman, attended by General Howard and his staff took his place at 
 the head of these veterans who had swept across that part of the continent 
 from Kansas to the Mississippi, from Yicksburg to Meridan, to Chatta- 
 nooga, to Atlanta, to Savannah, to Goldsborough, to Richmond, to Wash- 
 ington, four thousand miles. Xo other conqueror in history had made such 
 a march. 
 
 It was the crowning moment of Sherman's life and that of his army. 
 Invited to a place on the left of the President, he stood for seven hours 
 looking upon the men who had contributed to his triumph, and to the 
 perpetuity of the nation. General Sherman says: "When I reached the 
 Treasury Building and looked back, the sight was simply magnificent. 
 The column was compact and the glittering muskets looked like a solid 
 mass of steel, which moved with the regularity of a pendulum. It was 
 in my judgment, the most magnificent army in existence, sixty-five thou- 
 sand men of splendid physique, in good drill, who had just completed a 
 march through a hostile country and who now realized that they were 
 being closely scrutinized by their countrymen and by foreigners. The steadi- 
 ness and firmness of their tread, the careful dress of the guides, the uniform 
 intervals, all eyes directed to the front, the tattered battle flags, their ragged 
 uniforms, all attracted universal attention. Many good people up to this 
 time looked upon our western army as a mob, but the world then saw and 
 recognized that it was an army well organized, well disciplined and there 
 was no wonder that it had swept through the south like a cyclone." 
 
Tin: Grand Review. 299 
 
 Sherman wrote at this time: "The march to the sea has been gener- 
 ally regarded as something extraordinary something anqa^alo.us, whcie.i- 
 in fact, I simply moved from Atlanta to .savannah, as mie si'drj in t?$ - 
 tion of Richmond, a movement that had to he met and defeated. 'or the war 
 wa-- necessarily at an end. Were 1 to express my measure of the relative 
 importance of the march to the sea, and of that from Savannah northward, 
 I should place the former at one, and the latter at ten or the maximum. 
 
 ''Sixty-five thousand men obtained abundant food for about forty days 
 and thirty-five thousand animals were fed for a like period, so as to reach 
 Savannah in splendid flesh and conditipn with an aggregate lo>> of one 
 thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight men. Each regiment may sub- 
 scribe on it- colors the word 'Savannah.' 
 
 Sherman, it may be said, violated a well-established principle of war 
 by taking the exterior lines and leaving to Lee and Johnston the interior 
 unes. lint Lee had learned to fear Grant, and he dreaded to run the risk 
 i if taking any considerable portion of his army to send to Johnston. Thus 
 he let slip the only -possible chance of saving the Confederate cause. 
 
 Sherman in speaking of Lee said: "llis sphere of action was how- 
 ever, local. Me never ruse to the grand problem which involved a con- 
 tinent and future generations. His Virginia was to him the world. 
 Though familiar with the geography of the interior of the great continent, 
 he stood like a stone wall to defend Virginia against the north, and he did 
 it like a valiant knight as he was. He stood at the front porch battling 
 with the flames, while the kitchen and house were burning, sure in the end 
 tn consume the whole. Only twice, at Antietem and Gettysburg did he 
 venture outside mi the 'offensive defensive.' In the first instance he knew 
 personally his antagonist ami that a large fraction of his force would be 
 held in reserve, in the last, he assumed the bold 'offensive', was badly beaten 
 by .Meade and was forced to retreat back' into Virginia. As an aggressive 
 soldier Lee was nut a success and in war that is a true and proper test. In 
 defending Virginia and Richmond, he did all that a man could, but to him 
 Virginia seemed Confederacy and he stayed there while the northern 
 armies at the west were gaining the Mississippi, the Jfjnnessee, the Cum- 
 berland, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, yea, the Roanoke, after 
 which his military acumen taught him that future tarrying in Richmond 
 was absi ilute suicide.'' 
 
 General Sherman has written of the march to the sea: "Early in 
 January. 1865, having refitted our army at Savannah, and waiting only 
 long enough to fill our wagons, we began a march which for peril, labor, 
 and results will compare with any made by an organized army. The floods 
 of the Savannah, the swamps of the Cambahee, and the Edisto, the high 
 hills and rocks of the Santee, the flat cptagmires of the Pee Lee and Cape 
 Fear Rivers, were all passed in midwinter with its do, n\- and rains, in the 
 face of an accumulating enemy and after the battles of Averasboro and 
 Bentonville, we came emt of the wilderness to meet comrades at Golds 
 borough, its renown is the common heritage of us all, its fame will go 
 forward to future generations as the fame of the American soldiers. We 
 join in the universal joy that fills our land because the war is over and our 
 government stands vindicated before the world."

CHAPTER XXXII. 
 
 ORDER TO GO TO LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY — MUSTER OUT OF THE TWENTY- 
 SEVENTH, THIRTY-NINTH, FORTY-THIRD AND SIXTY-THIRD OHIO 
 REGIMENTS — RETURN OF THE SOLDIERS TO THEIR HOMES. 
 
 The First Division remained in Washington, in camp at Fourteenth 
 Street and Piney Branch until June 5th, when after having been under 
 orders since May 30th. it took passage in box cars at Washington via the 
 Baltimore and ( Ihio Railroad, for Louisville. Kentucky. Having arrived 
 at Parkersburg. Virginia, boats were taken on the Ohio River to Buffing- 
 ton's Island, where the men re-embarked on larger transports. The people 
 hung out their flags all along the route. The banks of the river were 
 alive with multitudes who had gathered there to greet and to honor the 
 victorious soldiers just returning from war. Many members of the Bri- 
 gades passed in sight of their homes, relatives and friends. 
 
 Arriving at Louisville on the 10th. camp was made out on the Preston 
 Road, in a beautiful grove where good water and dry ground was obtained. 
 
 During the last days of the war. England. France and Spain had joined 
 in setting up an Austrian prince upon the throne in Mexico, in violation of 
 treaties as regards an independent power. England and Spain soon with- 
 drew from the armed intervention. General Grant sent General Sheridan. 
 by order of May 17th, 1865. with a corps of troops to the Rio Grande to 
 preserve order and secure peace in Texas and Louisiana and to have him 
 where he might aid the Mexicans in expelling the enemies of that Republic. 
 This led to the withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico. It was 
 seen that the empire set up by Maximilian would soon collapse. Mean- 
 while a part of the Army of the Tennessee had been held at Louisville. 
 Kentucky and at other points as auxiliaries, or an army of reserve, in case 
 it was needed to re-enforce Sheridan. By general orders dated Nashville, 
 Tennessee. June 20th, 1865, General George II. Thomas assumed command 
 of the military Division of the Tennessee, embracing the Departments of 
 Kentucky. Tennessee. Georgia. Alabama and Florida. Major-General 
 J. M. Palmer was assigned to command the Department of Kentucky, with 
 headquarters at Louisville.

 at Louisville, Kentucky, June 28. 1865, the following named regiments of 
 the First Division, Seventeenth Army Corps were ordered to be at once

 of the United States, at Louisville. Kentucky, on July 11th. 9th, 13th and 
 8th respectively and were sent to Cam]) Dennison, Ohio, where they were 
 paid and discharged on July 20th, 1865. 
 
 Parmalee, the Brigade Bugler, who had never blown retreat, upon the 
 battle field, now sounded the last assembly and the men. now bronzed 
 veterans, gathered in groups and with hands clasped, in the Strongest ties 
 of friendship, hade each other farewell. 
 
 The brigade had been in miliary service for four years, had partici- 
 pated in forty-two battles and over a hundred skirmishes, had fought and 
 campaigned in ten states. Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky. Tennessee. Ala- 
 bama, Mississippi, Georgia, Xorth Carolina. South Carolina and Virginia, 
 and had traveled by railroad and steamboat, a distance of two Lhousand five 
 hundred and twenty-three miles, and on foot, four thousand five hundred 
 and eighty-One miles, a total of seven thousand, one hundred and four 
 miles. The longest march on fool in one day was in Virginia, fort) -five 
 miles, and the next longest, forty-three from Greenfield to Springfield. 
 Missouri. 
 
 Every soldier of Fuller's Ohio Brigade esteemed it an honor to be 
 identified with it, because of the splendid material of which it was com- 
 posed. It fulfilled ever\- duty, it performed hazardous service, it encount- 
 ered hardships, it was equal to ever)' emergency, and in winning great 
 victories, secured the highest standard of military merit, which is success. 
 It was part of that patriotic host that fought for the preservation and per- 
 petuation of the American Union. 
 
 The recollections of soldier life do not fade with time. We willingly 
 weave the cypress with the laurel that enshrines the memory of the men 
 of the Old Brigade. Their valor in action ever conspicuous, will never 
 In- forgotten, their last tight has been fought and before man) years the 
 last survivor will join his comrades in that eternal camping ground with 
 a command higher than any they served with here.

 The service and achievements, whether glorious or otherwise. ;ind the 
 consequent record and reputation of a regiment or an army, depend not 
 alone upon the character and quality of the men in the ranks, but are 
 largely dependent upon whether they have been trained and led by brave 
 and skillful officers. Misbehavior in the presence of the enemy, by an 
 army or by any of its component parts, is seldom due so much to a lack of 
 soldierly qualities in the men composing it. as to the want of one or more

 of those particular qualities and characteristics on the part of their com- 
 mander, so essentia] to success as a military officer in time of war. As 
 the commanding officer is justly held responsible by his government for 
 any failure on the part of his command to meet every reasonable require- 
 ment in times of stress, so is the commander entitled to share, in equal 
 measure, in the renown which comes from having performed fully, bravely, 
 and well every dutj as soldiers, so iliat the splendid record of the Ohio 
 Brigade and the honorable place it occupies in the history of our country 
 is due in large measure to the fact that it was the u> od fortune of that 
 organization to have for its commander a most thorough ami accomplished 
 officer, — a commander in whose skill, judgment, ami bravery every man 
 ami officer in the Brigade had the utmost confidence. 
 
 Hut the repute of a soldier who has performed his whole duty, and 
 performed it well, is too often dealt with by a formal report in which it 
 i< stated that he has been "brave." "gallant," or has conducted himself to 
 the "perfect satisfaction of his commanding officer." These cheap and. 
 formal words are quickly forgotten and nothing remains. If. however, this 
 volume shall tell, not of the mere conclusion that General Fuller acted his 
 part bravely and well, but of the deeds from which that inference is drawn, 
 the story, however simple, may dwell in the minds of the reader- and be 
 told by them to their children. If it shall show his manner of commanding 
 men, — how he dealt with his regiments in camp, on the march, and in the 
 hour of battle, ami how he comported himself in times of severest trial. 
 his true nature, with its strength and with its frailties, will have been so 
 far brought to light that 1 may dispense with striving to portray it. and 
 content myself with speaking of some of the mere outward and visible 
 characteristics which were apparent to those of us in the rank-, across 
 that chasm which separates the private soldier from his regimental or bri- 
 gade commander, and leave it to the reader to ascend by the knowledge of 
 what he did. to the knowledge of what lie was. 
 
 ( ieneral John W. Fuller was born in lulv. 1827 almost in the shadow 
 of the great University of Cambridge in England. His father, who was a 
 Baptist minister, came with his family to the United States in 1 S.vi and 
 for several years thereafter was pastor of Baptist churches at Peters- 
 borough and in Oneida County, New York, and from there he removed t i 
 < Iglethorpe, Georgia, where he died. 
 
 During all of this time the sun, John W. Fuller, was attending school 
 at Florence, New York. In 1840 he secured a position a- clerk- in a book- 
 store in Utica, where for twenty years he continued a- clerk and partner 
 in the business. While a resident of Utica he was twice elected Treasurer 
 of the City, lie was at the head of the local milium organization, which 
 for proticicno in drill and soldierly qualities was distinguished through- 
 
Brevet Major General John W. Fuller.

 ( ut western New York, where Lieutenant Fuller was recognized as a 
 skillful and accomplished tactician. 
 
 In 1851 he married Mi>^ Anna Rathburn, daughter of l>r. Josiah 
 Rathburn, a prominent citizen of Ctica. who, with woman's devotion. 
 faithfull} guarded and guided the home and her little children while the 
 husband and father was serving his country oii the battle-held. 
 
 The firm of John W. Fuller & Co., of Utica, deciding to establish, at 
 Toledo, Ohio, a branch publishing house, Lieutenant Fuller removed to 
 that city in the Fall of 1858 and established the business under the firm 
 name of Anderson & Co., and in conjunction with the Ctica house, built up 
 an extensive business, in the management of which he was engaged at the 
 beginning of the War of the Rebellion. 
 
 His intimate knowledge of military affairs being known to General 
 Charles W. Hill, he was selected by that officer as his chief of staff and 
 went with him to Virginia, where for many weeks lie was constantly en- 
 gaged in drilling and instructing the raw regiments that were pouring to 
 the front, and putting them in ^hape and condition to meet the enemy. 
 While thus engaged he attracted the attention of officers of the regular 
 army, one of whom. Captain I afterward General) T. J. Cram, wrote to 
 Adjutant-General C. V. Buckingham that there was then at Grafton a 
 young man from Ohio named John W. Fuller who knew more about the 
 drilling of men and about military matters generally than any one else he 
 had met with in the service, and hoped that General Buckingham would 
 recommend him to the Governor of Ohio as a most suitable man for Colonel 
 of the next regiment organized in that State. This recommendation was 
 made, and thus it came about that the 27th ( )hio secured this gallant and 
 accomplished soldier for its Colonel. 
 
 In July. 1861, after the departure for the front of Colonel Fyffe's 
 26th < 'bid Regiment, there were in Camp Chase some twenty-five or more 
 companies and parts of companies from every part of the State as yet 
 unorganized into regiments. From this two thousand or more men Colonel 
 Fuller selected one thousand and organized the 27th Regiment. By this 
 arrangement many of those who came to the camp at the head of com- 
 panies which they had enlisted and of which they had expected to be cap- 
 tains, accepted positions as lieutenants and even sergeants. Perhaps no 
 regiment from Ohio was composed of men from so many different sec- 
 tions of the State and although the Colonel was a stranger to all the men 
 and the men were largely strangers to each other, the skill and industry 
 of the Colonel quickly shaped and welded these thousand men into a com- 
 pact and homogeneous body and it so continued through out the war. 
 From the day he took command, squad, platoon, company or battalion drill 
 
310 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 was our daily portion while in camp and the strictest military discipline 
 was at once enjoined and fully enforced. Always scrupulously neat and 
 genteel in his persona] appearance and conduct, he required the same, so 
 far as neatness was possible., on the part of his men. As regimental and 
 brigad< commander he was always solicitous for its comfort and welfare. 
 The best uniforms, equipment, and rations obtainable were secured, and he 
 gave to the selection, arrangement, and policing of camps his personal at- 
 tention. He always took and freely expressed great pride in the good ap- 
 pearance and conduct of his command and was often complimented for 
 this by his superior officers. I recall many instances of this. When the 
 regiment reached St. Louis in August, 1861, it was formed on Chouteau 
 Avenue in front of the headquarters of General Fremont, who walked with 
 Col. Fuller through the ranks, and then in the presence and hearing of us 
 all, warmly complimented him on the fine appearance and perfect condition 
 of his regiment. 
 
 Two years later, when the Ohio Brigade was on the point of leaving 
 -Memphis, Tenn., where for some time it had been the garrison of the 
 city, doing patrol and police duty, the following address was presented to 
 the officers and men of the Brigade by the citizens of that City residing in 
 the vicinity of our camp, — a copy of which, clipped from a Memphis paper 
 of October 2, 1863, is still in my possession. 
 
 Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 1, 1863. 
 
 "We. the undersigned citizens of Memphis, residing in the vicinity of 
 your camp, beg leave to tender to you and your command our heartfelt 
 gratitude for your uniform courtesy and manly bearing toward us during 
 your sojourn here. 
 
 "During that time we have made the personal acquaintance of many 
 of you, both officers and men. for whom we shall ever cherish a most 
 kindly remembrance, and rest assured that wherever you may go, whercver 
 Fate may lead you. you carry with you our kindest regards. You have 
 always, in the language of one of your great generals, 'Evinced a determina- 
 tion to punish disorder and wrong and to encourage honesty, order, and 
 fair dealing, and that kindly sentiment among brothers, and even enemies, 
 which can alone restore peace to us as a people.' 
 
 "< (fficers and soldiers, you are an honor to your cause and the govern- 
 menl you represent. Such men are hound to make friends wherever they 
 go. No despoiler of defenseless households will be known 
 
 where you and men like you have the care and keeping of the public weal. 
 Again we thank you. and in so doing we feel confident that we reflect the 
 sentiment and feeling of our fellow citizens. 
 
 "With our best wishes for your future welfare and the expression of 
 the hope that you may all soon return to the joys and pleasures that await 
 you in your happy homes, we are. dear sirs, yours as much as possible. 
 
 "Citizens." 
 
Fuller's Ohio Brigade 311 
 
 This certificate of soldierly character and conduct, coming as it did 
 from those who regarded us as enemies and invaders, cannot be estimated 
 a- "self praise" or as a compliment from those entitled to appropriate a 
 share of it to themselves. Nor were we entitled to it. if at all, because of 
 any innate goodness on the part of the men of the brigade, but because of 
 the lessons in military discipline and self-restraint so diligently taught us 
 by our beloved commander. 
 
 Although General Fuller was a strict disciplinarian and was persistent 
 and unrelenting in the enforcement of military rules and regulations, he so 
 impressed upon his men the absolute necessity of it. for their own good, 
 for their health, their efficiency and their preparedness to acquit them- 
 selves honorably in the hour of battle, that line officers and men responded 
 enthusiastically to his demands and strove diligently and willingly to bring 
 themselves to that degree of precision in drill and evolution for which they 
 were distinguished throughout the Army of the Tennessee, and to which 
 is attributable the fact that his brigade was never routed, never disorganized. 
 It never failed in a charge and never yielded a position it was ordered to 
 hold. It was because of this perfection of drill and training that General 
 Fuller was enabled, at Corinth, on October 4th, to not only hold the posi- 
 tion assigned him against the desperate and repeated assaults of Hebert's 
 entire division, while the rest of the line was broken and swept back into 
 Corinth, but to finally hurl back the shattered regiments of the assaulting 
 column, and furnish the occasion for General Rosecrans to ride up to the 
 Ohio Brigade, when the battle was over, and exclaim, "I take off my hat 
 in the presence of men as brave as those around me," and ascribe to the 
 brigade the credit of having by its steadiness and final charge, turned the 
 wavering tide of battle into a decisive victory and given to the defense of 
 Battery Robinett a place in history as one of the most sanguinary struggles 
 of the war. 
 
 It was because of its good behavior in many previous emergencies that 
 a portion of Fuller's brigade — the 27th and 39th regiments — was selected 
 to make the desperate but entirely successful assault on the fortified posi- 
 tion of the enemy at Ruff's Mills on July 4th, 1864, after General Mc- 
 Pherson had expressed the opinion that the chances of success were almost 
 too remote to warrant the attempt. 
 
 h was this same training and discipline which enabled General Fuller 
 to change front and reform his lines on the great battle field of Atlanta 
 on July 22nd, under circumstances and conditions so appalling as to war- 
 rant General Grenville M. Dodge, who witnessed it. to declare years after- 
 ward that the conduct of Fuller's command on that day in changing posi- 
 tion and reforming its lines in open fields and under a terrific cross-fire. 
 at short range, from both front and flank, had no parallel in history. In 
 
312 Fuller's < >hio Brig di 
 
 the minds of the survivors of that day, the calm, musical, reassuring voice 
 of General Fuller as he directed this reformation and his precautionan 
 "Stead} boys, steady," still linger, with the vividness, almost, of yesterday. 
 Looking backward through the forty-three years thai have intervened 
 since the curtain was rolled down on the closing scenes of that awful 
 tragedy — the Civil War, we see again, as we saw then, events and circum- 
 stances now recorded in the annals of that climateric period of our 
 country's history. We live over again those eventful days, months, and 
 years in which we made historj faster than the pen of the historian could 
 record it, and from these visions of the past, from every event and experi- 
 ence, every scene and circumstance with which we are most proud to have 
 been identified, the face, the figure and voice of our Commander are in- 
 separable. Daily, — almost hourly, from the Summer of 1861 to the close 
 of the war. he was with and one of us. In camp, on the march, and in 
 battle, under all circumstances, vicissitudes and dangers incident to the 
 life of a soldier at the front, he was always courteous, cheerful, hopeful, 
 resourceful, and enthusiastic in the performance of duty. His patriotic 
 ardor and earnestness never wavering nor waning, and he so inspired 
 those under him and about him with the same spirit, that the survivors 
 of his brigade almost unanimously re-enlisted in the field. 
 
 These are some of the qualities and characteristics of the man whose 
 guiding hand, shaped our course and conduct throughout those four most 
 eventful years of our lives, as they impressed themselves upon a boyish 
 mind and as seen through boyish eyes, but of one whose opportunities to 
 observe them were almost daily. 
 
 The pride and satisfaction with which we look back over the services 
 and achievements of the old Army of the Tennessee and contemplate the 
 part we took therein, the manner in which we performed every dut) ;is 
 signed us, assumed every obligation imposed upon us, and met every emer- 
 gency with which we were confronted, are. in a large measure, due to 
 the skill and almost paternal care with which we were trained, and the 
 courage and precision with which we were led by the man of whom I have 
 briefly tried to tell. 
 
 At the close (if the war. when the Confederate armies had all surren- 
 dered and the authority of our Government had been re-established over 
 all our territory. General Fuller doffed his uniform and returned to his home 
 in Toledo t" lake up again the quiet, peaceful life of a business man. As 
 the head of the firm of Fuller, Childs & Company, engaged in the whole- 
 sale boot and shoe liiisiness. he was actively engaged until shortly before 
 his death, which occurred on March l_'th. 1891. 
 
 Ihs body now lies in beautiful Woodlawn Cemetery, in which it was 
 
Brevet Major-General John VV. Fuller. 313 
 
 escorted by the military organizations of Toledo and followed by ex-Presi- 
 dent Hayes and a vast concourse of citizens from north-western Ohio. At 
 his grave, we mingle our tears with those of his widow and children and 
 share with them in the love and esteem in which we hold sacred the mem- 
 ery of General John W. Fuller.

MA.TiU! GEN. GRENVILLE M. DODGE.

 MAJOR-GENERAL GRENVILLE M. DODGE. COMMANDER OF 
 THE LEFT WI\ T G StXEWTEENTE ARMY CORPS. 
 
 Revised by Major Charles H. Smith, Tzventy-seventh Ohio Veteran 
 
 Infantry I 'olunteers. 
 
 Major-General Grenville M. Dodge was an able and distinguished 
 soldier. The government recognized his military ability, his constant honor, 
 his fearless conduct and stainless reputation, and gave him high command. 
 He was close in the councils of President Lincoln, Generals U. S. Grant, 
 W. T. Sherman. J. B. McPherson and other great leaders during the war. 
 and was an especial favorite with them on account of his knowledge and 
 work in bridge making and railway construction, amid difficulties and 
 dangers, which proved so valuable in bringing campaigns to a successful 
 termination. 
 
Major General Grenville M. Dodge. 315 
 
 General Dodge was born in Danvers, Massachusetts, in the 12th of 
 April. 1831. The family is of English ancestry who joined the Plymouth 
 colony in 1629. At the age of fourteen, General Dodge entered the Academy 
 at Durham, New Hampshire, and the following year, went to the Norwich 
 University of Vermont, a military college, and graduated as a civil and 
 military engineer with the class of 1850. 
 
 He first attained distinction in engineering part of the Illinois Centra! 
 Railroad and in building the Rock Island Railroad. While thus engaged, 
 he prophesied the building of, and to some extent outlined the route of 
 the first transcontinental railroad, a work with which he was later so closely 
 and prominently connected. Between the years 1853 and 1861, he explored 
 the country west of the Missouri River and examined the Rocky Moun- 
 tains from north to south, to find the best place to cross with a railroad. 
 He formulated and explained in letters, the route which was afterward 
 selected. 
 
 In 1854, General Dodge became a resident of Council Bluffs, Iowa, 
 where he engaged in banking and other business. He organized the Coun- 
 cil Bluffs Guards and was made its Captain. At the outbreak of hostilities, 
 he tendered his command and his services to the state government. He 
 was sent by Governor Kirkwood to Washington, D. C. to arrange for the 
 equipment of the Iowa troops. He was successful in this and his worth 
 being instantly recognized by the War Department, he was offered a com- 
 mission as Captain in the Regular Army, but was immediately commis- 
 sioned a Colonel by Governor Kirkwood. He organized the Fourth Iowa 
 Infantry and also recruited the Dodge Battery and within two weeks led 
 his command against the rebels in northern Missouri, where he put to 
 flight the Guerillas and forced the rebel Colonel Pointdexter to retreat. 
 
 In the Southwest Campaign, he commanded the First Brigade. At 
 the battle of Pea Ridge, his brigade saved Curtis' Army from disaster, 
 although he was wounded and had three horses killed, while the fourth 
 was wounded under him. He was under fire three days and remained at 
 his post until the battle was brought to a close. He lost one fourth of his 
 entire command. His services immediately won recognition in promotion 
 to Brigadier-General, and when he had recovered from his wounds, he was 
 assigned to duty at Columbus, Kentucky, in command of the Central Divi- 
 sion of the Army of the Tennessee. 
 
 On the 15th of November, 1862, General Grant appointed General 
 Dodge to command the Second Division of the Army of the Tennessee, 
 and soon after the District of Corinth, a position which required him to 
 discharge the duties of engineer, railroad manager, chief of the corps of 
 observation, and so forth, and at the same time Grant's Army at Corinth 
 and Rosecrans' Army at Chattanooga, relied upon him for information a- 
 
316 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 to the movements of the enemy. He built all railroads needed in his 
 department and destroyed those that could be of use to the enemy. 
 
 It was here in Corinth on the 9th of January, 1863 that Fuller's Ohio 
 Brigade hecame a part of General Dodge's Command. They had arrived 
 in Corinth after the battle of Parkers Cross Roads and after the pursuit of 
 Forrest's Forces, which included a continuous march of one hundred and 
 ten miles. The men were worn out, many were barefooted and half starved, 
 and notwithstanding the fact that the garrison at Corinth was on half 
 rations, owing to the interruption of railroad supplies, General Dodge put 
 Fuller's Ohio Brigade on full rations ami furnished them with new cloth- 
 ing. Never were men more grateful and from that time on, gave their 
 hearts and devotion to ( ieneral Dodge, and their faith was rewarded in all 
 the subsequent campaigns and brilliant battles by his constant care and 
 vigilance and by the uninterrupted victories they gained over the enemy. 
 Many times the soldiers saw < ieneral Dodge walking the lines of investment, 
 giving orders, looking after every detail and encouraging the men by his 
 words and example. 
 
 On August 19th, 1864, near the close of the Atlanta Campaign, General 
 Dodge was so severely wounded, that he was obliged to relinquish his 
 command of the left wing of the 16th Army Corps. On the restoration of 
 his health, he was assigned in November, to the command of the Depart- 
 ment of the Missouri, and he proceeded at mice to restore order. He 
 quelled a general Indian outbreak, and in Arkansas, General Jeff Thompson 
 with eight thousand men surrendered to him. 
 
 For a year after the war, his command included all the Indian country 
 west of the Missouri River and north of the Indian Territory, and he was 
 in command of the Indian campaigns reaching from the Arkansas to the 
 Yellowstone Rivers. He resigned July 30th, 1866 and was elected on the 
 Republican ticket to represent his district in Congress, still continuing his 
 work as Chief Engineer of the Union Pacific Railroad, in which he used 
 his best energies, lie continued building railroads until 1874 when he 
 went abroad, and his advice was sought in building the great Russian 
 Trans-continental line through Siberia. 
 
 General Dodge stands today among the great men of the nation by 
 reason of the fact that his life has been one of signal usefulness to his 
 fellowmen. 
 
\IA.IOR GEX. HAVlIi S. STANLEY. 
 
 MAJOR-GENERAL DAVID S. STANLEY. 
 
 By Major Charles II. Sm ith. 
 
 David S. Stanley was born in Wayne County, Ohio, on the 1st of 
 June, 1828. In 1848 he was appointed a cadet at West Point and in 1852 
 he graduated and was assigned as Second-Lieutenant to the Second 
 Dragi »ms. The next year he was employed as assistant on the survey of 
 the Pacific Railroad Route and in this service he remained for two years. 
 In 1855. he was transferred to the First Cavalry of which Sumner was 
 Colonel, Joe Johnston, Lieutenant-Colonel and Sedgwick, Major. Me was 
 engaged in maintaining the peace in Kansas until the spring of 1857. 
 accompanying Colonel Sumner on an expedition against the Cheyenne 
 Indians. lie was engaged in a sharp fight on Solomon's Fork of the 
 Kansas. In 1858 he was engaged in the Utah expedition and crossed the 
 plains to the northern boundary of Texas. In March, 1858, he had a 
 
318 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 successful fight with the Comanche Indians, for which he received compli- 
 mentary orders from Lieutenant-General Scott. 
 
 He was stationed at Fort Smith, Arkansas, at the opening of the 
 rebellion. He was appointed Captain in the Fourth United States Cavalry, 
 in March. 1861. The troops at Fort Smith and neighboring posts being 
 compelled to evacuate, they united in one column and marched through 
 the buffalo country to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. On the 8th of May. 
 they captured and parolled a force of rebels sent in pursuit of them. He 
 moved on an expedition to Springfield and joined General Lyon at Grand 
 River. 
 
 Captain Stanley was appointed Brigadier-General of volunteers in 
 November, 1861. He was ordered to St. Louis and during the winter of 
 1861-2, he moved with Pope's Army down the Mississippi and commanded 
 the Second Division of that Army of which Fuller's Ohio Brigade was a 
 part at Xew .Madrid and Island Ten. He participated in the Fort Pillow 
 expedition, and on the 22nd of April joined General Halleck's Army before 
 Corinth. He was engaged in a skirmish at Monteray, in the bank' of 
 Farmington and in the repulse of the rebels before Corinth. May 28th. 
 The rebels evacuated Corinth on the 29th, and General Stanley was 
 engaged in the pursuit to Booneville. During the months of June. July, 
 and August, he was in command of the troops on the Memphis and Charles- 
 ton Railroad. In the battle of Iuka he commanded one of Rosecran's two 
 Divisions and was especially commended in the official report. In the 
 battle of Corinth, October 4th, his Division lost many valuable officers and 
 men. It sustained the terrible attack of the enemy on batteries Williams 
 and Robinett. 
 
 General Stanley joined the Army of the Tennessee under General 
 Grant at Grand Junction, in October; but in November, he was relieved 
 from duty there, and was ordered to report to General Rosecrans, com- 
 manding the Army of the Cumberland, who assigned him to the command 
 of the Cavalry of that army. On the 21st of November he was made 
 Major-General of volunteers. He commanded the cavalry at the battle 
 of Stone River. In this engagement the duty of the cavalry was very 
 arduous. From the 26th of December until the 4th of January, 1863, the 
 -addle- were only removed to groom the horses, and then they were imme- 
 diately replaced. After the battle of Chickamauga, he was assigned to the 
 command of the First Division, Fourth Army Corps. General Stanley was 
 in the Atlanta campaign, under Sherman, from May 2nd to August 25th. 
 lie commanded the Fourth Corps by appointment of the President, from 
 July, 1864, until the close of the war. Tie marched the Fourth Corps to 
 Chattanooga and thence to Pulaski, confronting Hood's Army which was 
 then threatening Nashville and middle Tennessee. At the battle of Frank-

 lin. General Stanley came upon the field just as a portion of the National 
 line was captured by the rebels. His timely arrival diverted disaster; and 
 placing himself at the head of a brigade, he led a charge, which re-estab- 
 lished the line. The soldiers followed him with enthusiasm, calling out, 
 "Come on, men ; we can go wherever the General can." Just after retaking 
 the line, and wdiile passing toward the left, the General's horse was killed ; 
 and no sooner did the General regain his feet, than he was struck by a 
 musket ball in the back of the neck. But he still remained on the field. 
 This wound disabled him from further service until January 24th. 1865, 
 when he was placed on duty in East Tennessee. In July, he moved with 
 the Fourth Corps to Texas. The authorities at Washington rewarded 
 General Stanley with a Major-Generalship in the United States Army. 
 
 General Stanley was cool and brave in battle. He enjoyed to the fullest 
 extent the confidence of his superior officers and of the soldiers under bis 
 command. He was a thorough disciplinarian, and aided by such a careful 
 instructor as General Fuller, the troops were drilled constantly during the 
 months of June, July and August. 1862. Under their immediate supervision 
 and training, the men were brought to the highest point of military perfec- 
 tion. It was their superb precision in military movements, their fighting 
 and staying qualities during the battles of Iuka and Corinth, Mississippi, 
 during the months of September and October, which led General Stanley 
 tn exclaim: "These troops can never be beaten in battle." 
 
 General Stanley died in Washington, D. C, March 13th, 1002.

 By Captain John A. Evans, Company E, Twenty-seventh Ohio Regiment 
 Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 Brevet-Brigadier-General Mendal Churchill was born in Rome town- 
 ship, Lawrence County, Ohio, on July 23rd, 1829. His father Solomon 
 Churchill was a native of Plymouth, Massachusetts, where his family had 
 lived since 1643, when John Churchill came from England, to that colon}. 
 His mother Mary Pritchard, born near West Point in New York, was a 
 daughter of a Connecticut Revolutionary soldier. Her husband died, leav- 
 ing her with six small children on a farm in Lawrence County, Ohio. 
 Mendal attended the country school, and fur two terms, an academy at 
 Burlington, the old county scat. 
 
 In his boyhood, he was employed in a country store. In 1850, he 
 accepted a position at Keystone furnace, Ohio, and began a business that 
 
General Mendal Churchill. 323 
 
 after 1865, became his life work. In Jul} 1861, he organized Company E 
 of the Twenty-seventh ( >hio Volunteers and was mustered into service as 
 Captain, August 6th, 1861. lie was promoted to Major, November 2nd, 
 1862, to Lieutenant-Colonel. March 19th, 1864, and to Colonel of the same

 with his regiment in the long and difficult campaigns and marches in 
 General Fremont's army which drove the enemy from Missouri in 1861, 
 and in the subsequent march from Sedalia to St. Louis, enduring the cold 
 and the snows of winter. He rendered gallant service at the capture of the 
 strongly fortified positions of New Madrid and Island Ten and at the siege 
 of Corinth, the battle of Iuka and Corinth. He commanded his regiment 
 in person at Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, in the assault and capture 
 of the enemies' works at Nick-o-Jack and at Atlanta. 
 
 Colonel Mendal Churchill was conspicuous for courage, efficiency and 
 ability. For success and efficient conduct at the battle of Atlanta, he was 
 brevetted Brigadier-General of Volunteers. It was his fortune to serve 
 with the regiment in ten different states. He was wounded at the battle 
 of Atlanta, July 22nd, 1864, and was carried oft' the field, but returned and 
 resumed command of his regiment before the battle was over. 
 
 General Churchill was brave and courageous in battle, loyal and pure 
 in character, of calm demeanor but yet of decided opinion, a man of perse- 
 verance. During his service, he commanded the respect not only of bis 
 brother officers but of the entire regiment. 
 
 In January, 1866, he removed to Zanesville, where he made his future 
 home. He was President of the Ohio Iron Company and the Blandy 
 Machine Company, was Vice President and director of the Bellaire, Zanes- 
 ville and Cincinnati Railway, and a director of the Somerset and Straitsville

 died January 15th. 1886. < ieneral Churchill retired from business in 1891' 
 and for some years travelled extensively. That year, he made a trip 
 around the world, landing at Vancouver, British Columbia, and passed 
 the winter of 1892 on the Pacific Coast. 
 
 In 1893-4 he visited the West Indies anil in 1894-5, Hawaii. Soon 
 afterward, he removed to Coronado Beach, California, where he resided 
 in his beautiful home by the sea. Friends gathered around him. many ol 
 them distinguished Union and confederate soldiers, who. having full under

COL. JOHN GROSBECK.

 COLONEL JOHN GROESBECK. 
 
 By Captain Ethan O. Hurd, Company B, Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiment 
 Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 Colonel John Groesbeck was the first Commander of the Thirty-ninth 
 ( ilii' i Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 Mis own prominence gave it standing at once and it was called "The 
 ( iroesbeck Regiment." 
 
 A man of magnificent physique, a fine swordsman, his thorough gentle- 
 manliness, dignity, geniality, keen sense of humor and bravery made him 
 beloved by his men. 
 
 Under fire at New Madrid and at the Siege of Corinth he rode around 
 on his grand bay horse with cannon halls and shells whistling by without 
 ever making the slightest effort to shield himself from them by taking 
 advantage of the ground, or showing the slightest consciousness of them. 
 
Colonel John Groesbeck. 329 
 
 A.s senior officer of the four regiments, the Twenty-seventh. Thirty- 
 ninth. Forty-third and Sixty-third, forming the Ohio Brigade, its command 
 was from its formation thrust upon him, and had he remained in the ser- 
 vice he would undoubtedly have been appointed a Brigadier-general. 
 
 lie resigned in July, 1862, after one year of service, in order, as he 
 told the writer, to make room for the promotion of his Major, E. F. Moves 
 to the Colonelcy of the regiment. 
 
 On his return to Cincinnati he was nominated for Congress on the 
 Republican ticket, against the Honorable George H. Pendleton mi the 
 Democratic side. 
 
 Before the close of the war he was married to Miss Genevieve Wilson. 
 hut his life was saddened by her early death in 1865. 
 
 For many years he resided in New York City until his death there 
 in 1879. His remains were brought to Cincinnati and interred by the side 
 of his wife in our beautiful Spring Grove Cemetery. 
 
 He left an only child, a daughter, who married George Hoadly, Jr.. 
 son of ex-Governor Hoadly of Ohio.

 BREVET BRIGADIER GENERAL EDWARD F. NOYES. 
 
 Thirty-ninth Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 From "Oiih> ix the War," Revised by Captain \Y. II. II. Minturn. 
 
 Edward Follensbee Noyes was born at Haverhill. .Massachusetts. ( )cto- 
 ber 3, 1832. His parents died in his infancy and at the age of thirteen 
 years, he was apprenticed as a printer boy. In this position he remained 
 four and one-half years. He entered Dartmouth College in 1S53. and 
 graduated four years afterward. He immediately removed to Cincinnati 
 and studied law, graduating in the Cincinnati Law School in 1858. He 
 practiced law successfully until the breaking out of the rebellion. < )n July 
 8th, 1861, his law office was changed to recruiting headquarters, and in 
 less than a month a full regiment was raised and ready for the held. < )f 
 
General Edward F. Noves. 331 
 
 this regiment (the Thirty-ninth Ohio Infantry) he was commissioned 
 Major to rank from July 27th, 1861. He continued with the command 
 during- all its marches in Missouri, and under General Pope during the 
 advance upon and final capture of New Madrid and Island Ten. He took 
 part in all the skirmishes and engagements of General Halleck's left wing 
 in front of Corinth, and on the heights of Farmington. Upon the resigna- 
 tion of Colonel Groesbeck, he was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel on 
 J nl\ 8th, 1862, and in this rank took part under General Rosecrans in the 
 battle of Iuka. September 19, 1862, and in the bloody engagements at 
 Corinth October 3rd and 4th. On the 1st of October, 1862. he was com- 
 missioned Colonel, and in December following, he commanded the regiment 
 in the battle of Parker's Cross Roads, where General Forrest and the rebel 
 forces were defeated with great loss. From this time until the beginning 
 of the Atlanta campaign he commanded his regiment in its various move- 
 ment and its garrison duty at Corinth and Memphis, and in its bridge- 
 building on the railroad in middle Tennessee. 
 
 While engaged in this latter duty at Prospect, Tennessee, Colonel 
 Noyes with quick perception of its necessity, threw the whole weight of his 
 influence into the work of re-enlisting his regiment. He fully aroused the 
 spirit of his excellent regiment, and as a result the Thirty-ninth Ohio gave 
 to the country a much larger number of veterans than any other Ohio 
 regiment. His zeal had its effect also on other officers in the command, and 
 was doubtless instrumental in rendering the veteran movement so popular 
 in General Dodge's district. In the Atlanta Campaign, he took part until 
 July 4th. 1864, being at the engagement of Resaca, Dallas and Kenesaw 
 Mountain. On the 4th of July, while in command of an assault on the 
 enemy's works near Ruff's Mills, on Xick-o-jack Creek, he received a wound 
 which resulted in the loss of a leg. This compelled him to relinquish for 
 the first time his active connection with his command. After having par- 
 tially recovered from two amputations, and while yet on crutches, he 
 reported for duty to General Hooker, and was by him assigned to the com- 
 mand at Camp Dennison, where he remained until April 22nd. 1865, when 
 he resigned to accept the position of attorney (city solicitor) fur the city 
 of Cincinnati. In October, 1866, he was elected Probate Judge of Hamilton 
 Cmmty mi the Republican ticket. That he had the love and respect of his 
 men i> evident from the fact already stated that he induced so many oi 
 them to re-enlist. He enjoyed the confidence of his superior officers, as is 
 shown bv the warm recommendations he received for promotion from 
 Generals John Pope, W. S. Rosecrans, D. S. Stanley. G. M. Dodge, and 
 W. T. Sherman. The latter says: "I was close by when Colonel Noyes 
 was shot. We were pressing Johnston's Army back from Marietta when he 
 made a stand at Smyrna camp ground, and I ordered his position to be 
 
332 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 attacked, by the 27th ami 39th Ohio Regiments. It was done successfully 
 with some Kiss. Colonel Noyes fully merits his honorable title." Colonel 
 Noyes was a strict disciplinarian, and it was said of him that he in some 
 way managed to have a greater number of men "present for duty" than 
 any other equal regiment in the command. Yet he was impartial and uni- 
 formly kind to all who were disposed to do their duty. While he insisted 
 upon being implicitly obeyed by his subordinates, he was always ready to 
 obey without questioning the commands of his superiors, and he hail the 
 satisfaction of knowing, when the war was over, that his regiment never 
 turned their backs to the enemy in any battle or skirmish from first to last. 
 
 Having been recommended for promotion to the full rank of Brigadier- 
 t ieneral before he was wounded, he received, after he was disabled for 
 active service, a commission as Brevet Brigadier-General, to date from 
 March 13. 1865. 
 
 General Xoyes' career after leaving the Army was conspicuous and 
 brilliant and his fellow citizens freely bestowed great honors upon him. 
 Ilesides the offices above mentioned which he had held, he was. in 1871, 
 made Governor of the State of Ohio and in 1877 was appointed to repre- 
 sent the United States as Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordin- 
 ary to the government of France. The same magnetism which had drawn 
 men to him in his own country, now brought friends to his side in France. 
 Marshall. McMahon. Lafayette, Rochambeau, Leon Say and Gambretta 
 received him with cordiality and regarded him as a friend and a great 
 soldier. On his return to Cincinnati after four years in Paris, he resumed 
 the practice of law, until his neighbors, delighting again to do him honor, 
 chose him to serve as Judge of the Supreme Court and it was while serv- 
 ing upon this bench, that the country was startled by the news of his 
 sudden death which occurred September 4th, 1890. 
 
COLONEL DANIEL WEBER. 
 Thirty-ninth Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 BORN. LANCASTER, PA, DECEMBER 13, 1833. 
 DIED. CINCINNATI, O., OCTOBER 7, 1892. 
 
 Daniel Weber came to Ohio in early childhood, and lived in Cincinnati 
 at the time of the breaking out of the W'ar of the Rebellion. He enlisted 
 a> a private soldier in Co. D, of the 39th Ohio Infantry. He was made 
 Orderly Sergeant of the company, and was elected Second Lieutenant 
 before the regiment took the field. Exhibiting unusual capacity for mili- 
 tary life, he was soon promoted to be Adjutant of the regiment. The date 
 of his commission was March 25, 1862; and on the 2d of March, 1864, he 
 was commissioned Captain of Co. I. On January 11, 1865, he was made 
 Major. February 10, 1865, he was commissioned as Lieutenant-Colonel; 
 and in May 1865, was commissioned and mustered as Colonel of the regi- 
 ment. He served as Colonel until the regiment was finally mustered out 
 of the service. He was justly considered one of the best soldiers in the 
 old Army of the Tennessee. He had the entire confidence of his command- 
 ing officers, Sherman. Logan, Pope, Stanley. Dodge, and Fuller, under 
 whom he served in Missouri, at New Madrid, at Island No. 10. Corinth, 
 all the battles of the Atlanta Campaign, during Sherman's March to the 
 Sea, and in the many engagements in which the Army of the Tennessee 
 took part. In all of these he bore himself with distinguished gallantry and 
 efficiency. 
 
 After the close of the rebellion he was appointed Deputy Surveyor of 
 the Customs at the port of Cincinnati. He was Clerk of the Probate Court 
 of Hamilton County while E. F. Noyes was Judge, and was afterward 
 elected as Sheriff of Hamilton County. In all of these positions he acquit- 
 ted himself to the entire satisfaction of the community. In later years he 
 was actively engaged as a live stock commission dealer at the Cincinnati 
 Stock Yards, in the firm of Weber, Loper & Co., which did a large and 
 successful business. He was also appointed as Quartermaster-general of 
 the State of Ohio, with the rank of Brigadier-General, upon the ^taff of 
 Governor E. F. Noves. He was one of the Police Commissioners of Cin- 
 cinnati at the time of the railroad riots in 1887. and rendered most efficient 
 service in the preservation of law and order. 
 
 As a soldier there was none in the army more patriotic, brave, and 
 efficient. As a business man he had the respect and confidence of all his 
 associates. His integrity was beyond the reach of temptation. As a friend 
 
334 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 he was loyal and true, and there was no labor, risk or sacrifice which he 
 was not read) to undertake for those whom he loved. 
 
 lie had tour children, all of whom died before him. A widow mourns 
 hi^ loss, lli^ old comrades of the army, his business associates, and a wide 
 circle of other friend--, will sadly miss the presence of one who walked 
 uprightly among his fellowmen, and who wa^ honorable and lovable in all 
 the relations of life. 
 
W. II. II. MINTURN. 
 
 Thirty-Ninth Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 W. II. H. Minturn was lorn at Nelsonville, Ohio. February 25th, 1840. 
 
 He enlisted as a private in Company B, Twenty-second Ohio Volunteer 
 Infantry. April 21st, 1861, under Lincoln's first call for three month's vol- 
 unteers. After his promotion to second Sergeant, he was honorably mus- 
 tered "tit on August 19th, but enlisted again in the Thirty-ninth Ohio Vol- 
 unteer Infantry. 
 
 His knowledge of the drill and reports gained in three month's service 
 made him very useful in the Thirty-ninth, and after a year's service in the 
 ranks, he was promoted to Quarter-master-Sergeant, to Second Lieutenant, 
 and to Captain. He re-enlisted with his company as a veteran, serving, 
 in all, four years, two months and nineteen days. 
 
 He was never absent front the regiment when it was in an active cam- 
 paign, and never missed a march nor a battle. Though twice captured by 
 the enemy, on both occasions, he made his escape at the risk of his lite. 
 
 lie joined Post number 2 at Zanesville, in 1866, and later, the Phil. 
 Kearne\ I'ost at Xelsmiville. lie was a charter member of Columbus 
 Golden Post and in 1,883, on his removal to Cincinnati, he joined W. H. 
 Lytic Post, of which he was Adjutant for three years. Upon moving to 
 Xew Lexington, he joined John W. Fowler Post, and was elected Com- 
 mander in which position he served two terms. 
 
 He organized the Perry County Battalion of the Grand Army, and was 
 elected Colonel, two terms. He organized the Perry County Soldier's and 
 Sailor's Association of which he was twice elected President. He served 
 as an aid to Commander-in-chief Alger and accompanied him to Boston in 
 1890. lie served Department Commander Conger as an assistant inspector 
 on his staff. 
 
 Captain Minturn lias the welfare of his comrades at heart and no man 
 in ( Hiio has given more of his time, nor, according to his ability, more help 
 to the old soldiers. He is lawyer of ability and none stands higher at this 
 bar; he is a Christian gentlman, a man of intelligence and education and 
 as an orator and public speaker, he lias no superior in the country. 
 
COLONEL JOSErH L. KIRBY SMITH. 
 
 COLONEL JOSEPH L. KIRBY SMITH. 
 
 By James E. Graham, Company C, forty-third Ohio Veteran Volunteer 
 
 Infantry. 
 
 Joseph L. Kirby Smith was of New England origin. Ilis grandfather 
 Joseph L. Smith was a lawyer in Lichfield, Connecticut, served as a Major 
 in the War of 1812. and was promoted to Colonel. Afterward he became 
 United States Judge. His son, Ephraim K. Smith, the father of Joseph 
 L. Kirby was a Captain in the United States Army and was killed at the 
 battle of Molino-del-Ray, in Mexico. Another relative was the distin- 
 guished Edmond K. Smith of the Confederate Army. 
 
 Joseph L. Kirby Smith was born at Syracuse. New York, on the 25th 
 of July. 1836. He entered the academy at West Point in 1853. and 
 remained in the army from that time until the day of his death. In I860, 
 he accompanied the Utah expedition as Aid-de-camp to General Patterson. 
 
 He wa^ commissioned as Colonel of the Forty-third Regiment of 
 Ohio Infantry Volunteers, on the 28th da\ of September, 1861, and at once 
 entered into the work of organizing and disciplining the men who were 
 being recruited for the command. The first two or tltree companies unit 
 into barracks at Camp Chase near Columbus, but on the 5th day of Novem- 
 ber, 1861, they removed to what was afterwards known as ('amp Andrews 
 at Mount Vernon, Ohio. Here the organization was completed and no 
 regiment ever received more thorough training in the art- of the --nldier 
 than this peerless commander gave the men he commanded. 
 
Colonel Joseph L. Kirby Smith. 337 
 
 On the night of the 21st day of February, 1862, J. L. Kirby Smith 
 rmlc at the head of what was admitted to be one of the best, if not the best 
 equipped and drilled regiments that ever left the State of Ohio. He was 
 continually with his command until that fatal never-to-be-forgotten 4th 
 day of ( Ictober, 18(i2. when lie led his command into the sanguinary contest 
 He only lamented that we was kept so long without an opportunity to lead 
 his men into a hotly contested battle. That he was loved and trusted by the 
 men he commanded, was most eloquently shown when the word passed 
 along the line that he was killed, by the diamond tear-drops that coursed 
 down every cheek. Although he was only twenty-six years old when he 
 died, and had been permitted to serve but eight months in the Volunteer 
 Army, he had rendered such signal service by his prowess and valor at 
 \ew Madrid, Island Ten. advance on Corinth and Iuka, and had shown 
 such superior qualities as a superb soldier that he was looked upon by his 
 superiors as one who was sure to reach the highest rank of a Commander. 
 
 lie was a master of tactic-, a prince of a disciplinarian, as brave as 
 the bravest, with a heart as tender as a woman. The true soldier of the 
 line found in him an unswerving friend, while the laggard had better have 
 been in some other place. 
 
 The writer hereof was only a Private in the ranks, and the first time 
 I saw Col. Smith was on the 5th day of November, when he rode at the 
 head of the nucleus of his regiment, and he then s t i impressed me tb.il 
 he became my ISeau-ideal of a soldier and has so remained until now. Col. 
 Smith was a Christian without cant, a soldier without ostentation. The 
 brightest gem in his life was his child-like devotion to his mother, which 
 the writer had the pleasure of seeing exhibited on several occasion-. Her 
 word was as law unto him. There was a beauty in his daily life that won 
 not only the esteem and admiration of those who came in contact with him, 
 but their love. One who knew him well and intimately, has said of bun, 
 lie was cheerful, religious, faithful, sincere, frank, brave, affectionate, and 
 dutiful. Having been reared most of his life amidst the scenes of the 
 military camp, and then in the military school, he fully appreciated both 
 the propriety and necessity of obedience, that dominating attribute which 
 must control every true soldier, this qualification he possessed, seldom 
 equalled and never excelled, and one of the greatest efforts of his service 
 a- ;i ( ommander was to instill this characteristic into the mind and heart 
 of every officer and soldier under his instruction, and woe be unto him who 
 failed to obey, lie had the reputation of having discharged every duty 
 assigned to him by his superiors in command, in such a satisfactory and 
 fearless manner as to attract the special attention of n >\ only his command- 
 ers but of the enenn who had observed his gallantrj in leading his com 
 maml against them. 
 
338 I ' ii.er's Oh k i Brigade. 
 
 From those who were of sufficient rank to become intimate with him, 
 we learn thai he was a companionable, charming associate, far above the 
 average conversationalist, and possessed of a vein of humor, rarely 
 1 1, issessed. 
 
 tie was never known to speak in derision of another, but always in 
 commendation oi their virtues, and with such a charm that pen cannot 
 describe his manner at such times. But the bright future predicted for 
 him by his friends was not to be realized, and on the 12th of October, 1862, 
 this loyal citizen, typical American, matchless soldier, obedient, loving sun, 
 and devouted lover laid his life upon his country's altar.

 of the Supreme Court of the United States, was burn in 1835 at Columbus, 
 Ohio. Although a delicate boy he graduated at Yale, studied law and began 
 his practice prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. In the autumn of 
 1861, when the magnitude of the approaching struggle became apparent. 
 he offered his services to Governor Dennison and was commissioned Major 
 of the 43rd Ohio. The people were depressed by the reverse at Bull Run 
 and the dread of what was to come and recruiting was <\ow. lie threw 
 himself into the work with that energy and perseverance which was a trait 
 of his character and by February, 1862 the 43rd was ready for the field 
 with 1,100 men. The recruiting of the regiment was largely his work. 
 His first battle was at New Madrid, Missouri, and while in action with 
 his regiment, his horse was shot under him. He was sunn appointed 
 
340 Fuli er's Ohio Brig vdi 
 
 Lieutenant-Colonel and on the -4 1 1 1 of October, 1862, succeeded to the 
 command of the regiment at the beginning of the battle of Corinth, when 
 Colonel Smith was mortally wounded. The opposing lines were but a few 
 feet apart and the struggle was most desperate. It was a trying ordeal for 
 a young officer fresh from civil life. For a moment the line wavered just 
 a little, then in conjunction with the 63rd and 27th Ohio to the right, il 
 dashed with re-doubled energy into the great rebel charging column and 
 drove it back in utter rout. During these trying moments he was twice 
 slightly wounded hut remained on the battle field. 
 
 From that day he was always with his regiment and in command 
 except fur a brief period when he was Provost .Marshal at Memphis, Ten- 
 nessee, during the Vicksburg campaign and during a part of September 
 and October. 1864, when he commanded the Brigade. 
 
 Whatever there was for a regimental commander in the Army of the 
 Tennessee in the field Id do, from 1S(>2 to the spring of 1865, he did faith 
 fully and well. In the closing days of 1863 he had the great satisfaction 
 of seeing his regiment re-enlist for the balance of the war. I le commanded 
 the regiment in all its battles and skirmishes during Sherman's advance in 
 Atlanta, when fur one hundred days the sounds of battle never ceased; 
 also in the march to the sea. then turning northward, in the threat campaign 
 of the Carolinas, until he fell terribly wounded by a rebel shell at the cross 
 ing of the Salkahatchie. I lis career in the field was ended and war-hard- 
 ened veterans wept as he was carried past them to the rear. 
 
 He was commissioned Brigadier and soon after Major-! ieneral and 
 as soon as he could get around on crutches he was sent to Montgomery, 
 Alabama, as Commissioner of Freedmen, Refugees and Abandoned band-. 
 All through the troublesome reconstruction times, be tilled wisely and well 
 the difficult position he held. 
 
 As a commander, be was firm but very kind, a good disciplinarian, cool 
 in battle and brave as a man can be. lie possessed in an eminent degree 
 that moral courage, all too rare, to do bis duty, that which was right, any- 
 where and under all circumstances. 
 
 After the war. be resinned the practice of law in New York City when 
 he died about 1903.

 in the villages of .Milan. Sandusky and Huron, in that County. He was 
 there engaged in the shipping and commission trade, and served one term as 
 County Treasurer. 
 
 Later on he organized and equipped a line of sail boats and steamers 
 for lake traffic and was engaged in this business at the breaking out of tin- 
 war in 1861. When the first call was made by the President for troops for 
 three months' service he promptly offered his services and was chosen 
 Captain of a company organized at his home village. This company report- 
 ed at Camp Taylor near Cleveland. ( )hio, but was not out of the state in the 
 three month- service. < >n the 19th day of .May. 1861 it was assigned to 
 the Seventh Ohio Infantry and ordered to Camp Dennison for reorganiza- 
 tion for the three years' service, it there reorganized for three years, and 
 he was retained as its Captain. ( hi the 29th of June the Regiment started 
 for West Virginia and went to near Somerville in that state. 
 
 On the 11th of August, 1861, Captain Sprague was given a leave of 
 absence to go home. He went with a small party by way of Clarksville. 
 
 lie started but had only proceeded a short distance from his own camp, 
 when he was captured by rebel cavalry, lie was taken as a prisoner first 
 to Richmond, and afterward transferred to Charleston, South Carolina. 
 ( In the 1st of January, 1862, he was sent to Columbia, on the 5th he was 
 taken to Norfolk for exchange, and on the 10th he reached Washington 
 City. Before rejoining his regiment, the 7th Ohio, which was still in West 
 Virginia, he received word from his friend Governor Tod that he had 
 commissioned him Colonel of the Sixty-third Ohio Infantry, a full regiment 
 then in camp and ready for the field. 
 
 Col. Sprague joined the Sixty-third ( )hio Infantry and on February 
 10th, 1862, moved with it to report to General Sherman at Paducah, Ken- 
 tucky. ( )n arriving at Paducah. he was immediately ordered to proceed, 
 and report to General Pope at Commerce, Missouri. Under that officer. 
 Colonel Sprague participated with the Regiment in the operation at New 
 Madrid. Fort Thompson and Island Number Ten. and then joined the 
 army at Pittsburg Landing. He took part in the operations usually called 
 Siege of Corinth, including the actions at Farmington May 8th and 28th, 
 1862, and later capture of Corinth, lie commanded the Regiment in the 
 battles of I nka 19th September and bailies of Corinth 3rd and 4th ( (ctober, 
 1862. 
 
 At Tuka the Regiment was only slightly engaged and had but few 
 casualties, but at the battle of Corinth, it had very hard fighting the second 
 day, on open ground without any protection and sustained very severe loss. 
 It had that day almost one-half of its men in action, killed or wounded. 
 Following this he took part in the general operations in northern Alabama 
 
346 Fuller's ' too Brig \m - 
 
 and Mississippi, extending sometimes into Tennessee, and from Memphis 
 southward along the Mississippi river. 
 
 In the Fall of 1863, he moved with his regiment under General Sher- 
 man eastward toward Chattanooga. He did not go as far as Chattanooga 
 as liis regiment was part of the force detached to secure the railroad lead 
 ing to Decatur. Alabama, under command of General Dodge. At Prospect, 
 Tennessee, on January 1, 1864, the 63rd Ohio Infantry re-enlisted as 
 veterans for three years more, having the largest percent of men present, 
 to re-enlist, of any Ohio Regiment. 
 
 Shortly after, the Regiment returned from its veteran furlough, Col. 
 Sprague commanded it in the operations of Gen. Dodge in crossing the 
 Tennessee river, in small new made boats, at night, and making a success- 
 ful night attack on Decatur, Alabama. Immediately after this Genera? 
 Dodge formed a new brigade composed of the Forty-third and Sixty-thir 
 Ohio, the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin and the Thirty-fifth New Jersey, and 
 assigned Colenel Sprague to the command of it. From this on Colonel 
 Sprague was a brigade Commander. 
 
 May 1st, lKfi4, the brigade started from Decatur via 1 luntsville for 
 Chattanooga, arriving on the fifth. It there joined the main part of the 
 Army of the Tennessee to which it belonged, under the command of i ieneral 
 McPherson, forming part of the Grand Army under General Sherman. 
 
 Colonel Sprague was actively engaged during the entire Atlanta 
 Campaign. At Resaca, at Dallas, and at Decatur on 22nd July he was 
 conspicuous for coolness and bravery. 
 
 At Decatur Col. Sprague was covering and guarding the train.-- of the 
 entire army, consisting of over four thousand wagons containing almost 
 all the available supplies for the army. He was attacked by superior 
 numbers, and the contest continued for more than four hours, but by his 
 own bravery and ability, no less than by the courage and prompt obedience 
 of his men the enemy was finally repulsed, and only one wagon was lost. 
 His brigade lost two hundred and ninety-two men killed and wounded, in 
 this action. Colonel Sprague was appointed Brigadier-General on the 29th 
 of July, 1864. He was one of the number especially recommended by 
 General Sherman for promotion on account of gallant and meritorious 
 services during the Atlanta Campaign. 
 
 General Sprague moved with Sherman on the March to the Sea and 
 thence northward on the Campaign of the Carolinas. lie commanded the 
 brigade on its March from Raleigh through Richmond to Washington, and 
 participated in the Grand Review.

 and subsequently the Indian Territory. In September 1865. Genu 
 Sprague's headquarters were removed to Little Rock, Arkansas, where he 
 remained until November 1865, when he resigned and returned home. In 
 the meantime he was offered the position of Lieutenant-Colonel of the 
 Forty-first I'nited States Infantry which he declined to accept, and he was 
 also brevetted Major-General of Volunteers to rank from the 13th of 
 March. 1865. 
 
 After the war General Sprague devoted himself to railroad business. 
 He was manager for several years of the Winona and Saint Paul Railway 
 with office at Winona, Minnesota. In 1870 he was general manager of the 
 western division of the Northern Pacific Railway. This position brought 
 him to the Pacific Coast and he was active in establishing and building up 
 the city of Tacoma, Washington. He was concerned and interested in 
 many business enterprises in that locality. In 1883, he had the honor of 
 driving the golden spike on the completion of his division of the railroad, 
 and soon afterward resigned on account of impaired health. 
 
 General Sprague died at his home in Tacoma, Washington, on the 24th 
 of December, 1893, in the 77th year of his age. He had been in feeble 
 health for a number of years, and his death at the time it occurred was 
 not unexpected to either himself or his family. 
 
 General Sprague. at his funeral, was honered by the people of Tacoma 
 as their most distinguished soldier and citizen, Grand Army Posts, Military 
 Companies and Civic Societies attended in bodies, whilst municipal and 
 business corporations sent representatives. A camp of the Sons of Veter- 
 ans that had been called in hi- honor "John W. Sprague Camp" attended 
 in a body and citizens generally did all in their power to show their higl 
 regard for him, and their desire to do honor to his memory. 
 
 In religious affairs Gen. Sprague was a Presbyterian and had been ; 
 church member for many years. 
 
 He was married three times, his first wife a Miss Wright died before 
 the) had been married a year. She left to survive her a daughter, still 
 living at his death, who is now Mrs. J. W. Wickham. His second wife 
 was a daughter of Hon. G. W. Choate. She left to survive her four sons, 
 whose names are Otis, Winnie \Y.. Charles and C. W.. all still living at his 
 death. His third wife who survives him is a sister of his first wife.

 straight and well proportioned. He was a man of good address, genial, 
 pleasant manners, and great business qualifications.

 As ;i soldier and officer he was of much more than ordinary ability, 
 fully able for the position- he held. Not reckless, but prompt, efficient, and 
 brave beyond all question. 
 
 Not wholly without faults and mistakes he always showed the good 
 soldierly qualities in the field, in face of the enemy, that endeared him to 
 his comrades, who will ever hold his memory as a soldier in the high regard 
 it deserves.

 including actions at Farmington, May 8th and 28th. lie commanded his 
 company at the battle of Iuka. September 19, and Corinth, October 3rd and 
 4th, 1862. lie is given very distinguished credit in the official report of 
 the battle of Corinth for coolness and daring under a fire of musketrj so 
 severe that 48 percent of the regiment was killed and wounded, and he was 
 the only officer of the left wing of the regiment not disabled. 
 
 I s also especially mentioned for the capture of a Captain and bugler 
 of the enemy's artillery, driving off the battery and securing one of the 
 caissons. 
 
 He was in the engagement at Parker's Cross Roads. Dec. 30, 31, 1862, 
 and took part in 1863 in all operations of the regiment in northern Missis- 
 sippi and Alabama, and vicinity of Memphis, Tenn. In latter part of 1862, 
 and early part of 1863, he at different times was temporarily in command 
 of his regiment as senior Captain. I le was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel 
 of the regiment March 20. 1863, and as such commanded it at different 
 times during the year next ensuing. Commencing at Decatur. Ala., March

 Chattahooche River, advance on Atlanta and engagement at Decatur, < ia.. 
 on 22nd lulv. The regiment was very actively engaged and under severe 
 fire at Decatur on the 22d July. The regiment was under his command the 
 greater part of this battle, and during the action Colonel Brown received 
 a very severe gunshot wound, which at once necessitated the amputation 
 of his left leg, close to the hip. I lis injuries were so severe that he was 
 never again able for field service, and never rejoined the regiment. He 
 remained in service till the end of the war, serving a-- Provost Marshall of 
 Cleveland, < >hio District, from February 21, to Jul) 8, 1865. He was com-

 1865, for gallant and meritorious conduct on the Atlanta Campaign. 
 
 Brigadier-General J. W. Sprague, in a letter to Secretary of War 
 Stanton, recommending that Colonel Brown be promoted to Brigadier- 
 General, said this of him : 
 
 ''He is a gentleman pure in morals, and high toned Christian principles, 
 a lawyer by profession and an accomplished scholar. He was distinguished 
 for gallantry at battle of Corinth, ( >ct. 4, 1862. He commanded his regiment 
 the entire campaign against Atlanta until the battle of July 22, 1864, when 
 he lost his left leg. while his regiment was engaged with more than four 
 times its number." 
 
 "Col. Brown during his entire service in the army has been dis- 
 tinguished for industry and close attention to duty showing rare judgment 
 and skill in commanding men." 
 
 General Brown resumed practice of law at close of War at Chillicothe. 
 President Grant appointed him I". S. Pension Agent at Cincinnati and he 
 removed to that city and served as Pension Agent to close of Grant's ad- 
 ministration. He was elected to 49th Congress as a Republican, from the 
 Second Ohio District being a part of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, and 
 re-elected to the 50th Congress. He was afterward elected a State Senator 
 from the First Ohio District to the 74th General Assembly. 
 
 Gen. Brown died May 22, 1904, at his home in College Hill, a suburb 
 of Cincinnati. From his army wound and loss of his leg he was a great 
 sufferer as long as he lived, and his death eventually resulted from it. 
 
 Gen. Brown was a man of fine personal appearance, an honorable gen- 
 tleman of strict integrity who was deservedly held in high esteem, alike by 
 comrades in the Army and fellow citizens at home. He left a widow and 
 five children. Mrs. Fred W. Reed, and Mrs. Horace B. Henderson of Min- 
 neapolis, Minn.. Mr-. Frederick P. Siddall of Los Angeles. Cal., Miss Mabel

COL. OSCAR L. JACKSON. 
 
 COLONEL < )SCAR LAWRENCE fACKSON, 
 
 Oscar Lawrence Jackson was born in Lawrence County (then pari of 
 Beaver County). Pennsylvania, September 2. 1840. His ancestors were 
 
 Scotch- Irish, and early settlers in the state. His great grandfather. Samuel 
 Jackson, was born in the highlands of Scotland, resided for a few year- in 
 north of Ireland, emigrated to the United States, landing in South Caro- 
 lina, and after residing there for a short time, removed north and settled 
 about 1797. on a tract of land one mile south of the present city of New 
 Castle, Pa. A large part of this land has ever since remained in the posses- 
 sion of the family and is now (1909) owned by his father. His great 
 grandmother Jackson's maiden name was Janet Stewart, hum in highlands 
 of Scotland. She was a sister of John Carlyle Stewart, who laid out the 
 town of Xew Castle. Pa., in 1798, and who built there a few years later, 
 among other improvements, a forge, where tin- first bar iron was made, 
 west of Pittsburg in western Pennsylvania. Mi- grandfather, James Jack- 
 son was a soldier in the American \rmv in the War of 1S12. and Ms 
 
CO! ONE] ( ISC \K L. I \t KSON 353 
 
 brother, Edwin W. Jackson was a Union soldier in the Civil War. He has 
 also a brother, David P. Jackson, a sister, .Mary Jackson, and half sisters, 
 Anna Jackson and Jane Jackson. 
 
 His mother's maiden name was Nancy Mitchell, a native of Indiana 
 County, Pa., and a descendant of Scotch-Irish emigrants from County 
 Caven, Ireland, who settled in the Susquehanna Valley, Penna., where her 
 father, Matthew Mitchell was born in 1795. Her mother's maiden name 
 was Nancy Smith, a daughter of George Smith, also of Scotch-Irish de- 
 scent. 
 
 Col. Jackson's father, Samuel S. Jackson was horn August 19, 1815, 
 and is now (April 1909) still living and a resident of Lawrence County, 
 Pa. 
 
 Oscar Lawrence Jackson was reared on a farm, educated in the Com- 
 mon Schools, Tansy llill Select School, and Darlington Academy, and 
 when a hoy clerked for a short time in a country store. He taught pub- 
 lic school in Starr Township, Hocking County, Ohio, the year before the 
 commencement of the War of the Rebellion. Teaching in two different 
 districts, one term each. Starr Township is south-east of Logan, the county 
 seat of Hocking County, and adjoins the counties of Athens and Vinton. 
 During the Presidential Campaign of 1860 he attended political meetings. 
 marched with the Wide- Awakes, and made some Republican addresses. 
 In this way he acquired during the year, a larger acquaintance with people, 
 than would usually be expected in so short a time, by a young country 
 school teacher coming from another State into a community, an entire 
 stranger. This finally resulted in his serving during the War in an Ohio 
 Regiment, although a citizen of Pennsylvania. 
 
 On the 29th of August. 1861, being then a little less than twenty-one 
 years old he received from the Governor of Ohio, an appointment with 
 authority to recruit a company of Volunteers for the three years' service. 
 
 The schools in which he had been teaching the preceding year had 
 more than the usual number of large boys as scholars, and they furnished 
 him quite a large squad of recruits, of the very best material for good 
 soldiers, to start the proposed Company. They were also useful later on 
 in securing other recruits. By this time the first excitement of enlisting 
 had passed, and it was slow, difficult work to enlist men for three years' 
 service. On November 8, 1861, he had, however, so far progressed, that 
 he was commissioned a recruiting Second Lieutenant, on recommendation 
 of the County Military Committee. lie extended his recruiting efforts 
 into other counties, having an arrangement by which men were uniformed 
 as soon as enlisted, and from time to time, forwarded to Camp at t'liilli- 
 cothe. After long, hard work, and overcoming many discouragements, as 
 well as receiving much friendly help, he succeeded in completing his com- 
 pany.

 ( )n January 16, 1862, he was commissioned Captain of it. This origi- 
 nal company was obtained about as follow-: From Hocking and Athens 
 Counties one-third from each. The other one-third from Ross, Vinton, 
 Washington and Morgan Counties. In November, 1862, 22 men who had 
 been enlisted for a new regiment to be called the 112th Ohio were assigned 
 to the Company to fill up the losses it had sustained in the field. They were 
 all or nearly all from Montgomery (''ami,. Other recruits came during 
 the progress of the war principally from ti -■ Counties named. The Com- 
 pany had in all 166 members enrolled during the War. Eight of them 
 were never with it in the field. A little over two-thirds of the whole 
 membership were farmers by occupation. The other one-third repre- 
 sented railroad men. teachers, physicians, clerks, students ami nearly all 
 the usual trades, such as carpenters, blacksmiths, plasterers, coopers, mil- 
 lers and the like. These latter were from small villages — none from large 
 cities. The whole Company were native horn American citizens, except 
 twelve, these twelve had come from Ireland. Scotland. England, Germany 
 and France, when young, to become American citizens. 
 
 During the original recruiting, the Company was expected to be Com- 
 pany B of the 22nd Ohio Infantry Volunteers, hut about th - time it was 
 full, in order to suit some changes, the authorities desired to take in Field 
 Officers, the number of the Regiment was changed and it became Company

 during its entire service of nearly four rears, except about three months 
 when he was disabled by severe wounds received in battle. 
 
 lie commanded his company the first and larger part of the time, and 
 and until he came into command of the Regiment the latter pan of ii- 
 service, first as Senior Captain and later as a Field < X'ficer.

Colonel Oscar L. Jackson 355 
 
 In General Rosecran's battle of Corinth. Miss., October 3 and 4, 1862, 
 
 the 03rd Ohio gained very distinguished credit for its immediate support 
 of Rattery Robinet, and for continued hard fighting on open ground sus- 
 taining very great loss. 
 
 The Regiment is prominently mentionel in Greeley's History of the 
 Rebellion Vol. 2, page 22' >. 
 
 "On the morning of the fourth, the enemy to cover preparations for 
 
 their main charge advanced a skirmish line to within about 150 yards of 
 Batter) Robinet. It was well protected there by logs and fallen timber, 
 and soon gave great trouble to the main line of our troops, then lying 
 on the ground near Robinet. 
 
 '"Five men from each Companv present, of the 63rd ( (hio were selected 
 as skirmishers. Cap't Jackson put in command of them, with orders to 
 advance and drive off the rebel skirmish line. 
 
 "It was pretty serious work, but they moved forward and succeeded 
 in driving the enemy's skirmish line back considerable distance." 
 
 Near the close of this battle on October 4th. Capt. Jackson received 
 two wi mnds. The more severe being a gun shot wound in the face, the 
 bullet entering near the inner corner of the right eye, where it still remains 
 imbedded in the frontal bone. He is mentioned in the official report- ol 
 the battle, now published in Vol. 17. page 191-2, Series I. Part 1. Reports, 
 as 
 
 "A young officer of great promise, who is severely and it is feared mor- 
 tally wounded, who held his Company in perfect order until two-thirds of 
 his men were killed or wounded.'' 
 
 In latter part of May. 1863, when the rebels were seriously disturb- 
 ing the navigation of the Mississippi river. Captain Jackson with Com- 
 panies B and II of his regiment was sent from Memphis with a steamboat 
 load of ammunition to Gen. Grant's Army at Yicksburg. He had five 
 thousand cases of fixed ammunition, much of it percussion shells on the 
 large new steamboat Luminary. His written orders were to not land on the 
 way, under any circumstances. If the vessel became disabled to anchor in 
 the river. To report at Helena. Arkansas, where a gunboat would be fur- 
 nished to escort him past some extra dangerous places. 
 
 The trip was made successfully, and they -aw a little of the -iege at 
 close range. Going down on 26th May at Island 6?. above mouth of 
 White river, a rebel Field Battery in plain view fired on a steamboat a 
 little ahead of him. He had a piece of artillery on the bow of the Lumi- 
 nary, and a couple of shells from it started the battery and no harm was

 the channel is close to the shore — rebels fired into them with musketry. 
 Rut he returned the fire. The officers of the vessel put on steam and soon 
 ran past them.

 lie was, at different times in 1864 in command of hi-- regiment as 
 Senior Captain in important movements. This included the operations to 
 develop the purposes of Hood's Rebel Army, and drive it off the railroad 
 when it made the Campaign around Sherman's army at Atlanta, with the 
 action driving the enemy out of Snake Creek Gap and following Hood's 
 Army to the Alabama line. Also later cm at Savannah, Georgia, and mov- 
 ing from there to Hilton Head and Pocotaligo, Smith Carolina. 
 
 He received promotions as follows: ( In January 28, 1865 commissioned 
 Major of the Regiment and mustered afterward as soon as commission 
 reached regiment. On June 6, 1865, commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel of 
 the Regiment. On recommendation of his Brigade, Division and Corps 
 Commanders, he was commissioned by the President, Colonel of U. S. Vols, 
 by Brevet, to rank as such from 13th March, 1865 for gallant and meri- 
 torious services during the war. 
 
 Colonel Jackson commanded his regiment in the operations around 
 Goldsborough and in the movements of Sherman's Army from that place 
 to Raleigh. North Carolina. He also participated with it in all the opera- 
 tions immediately preceding the surrender of Johnson's rebel army. He 
 was in the Corps Sherman was moving toward Johnson the day of the 
 surrender, lie saw the wild excitement of the steady old veterans of the 
 Western Army, who yelled themselves hoarse and threw guns, cartridge 
 boxes, canteens and knapsacks in the air, when they got the news of the 
 surrender, on the march, and realized that the long war was over. This 
 was the last hostile movement of Sherman's Army. During the opera 
 lions near Raleigh, he was sent, some time before the surrender, with a 
 very large army train back to Goldsborough for supplies. In this move- 
 ment he was in command of his own regiment and other details reported 
 to him as guard and escort, and had the entire charge and responsibility of 
 the train. Considering the size of the escort and train, his command in 
 this expedition was in importance and responsibility fully equal to that of a 
 brigade. In going and returning he marched about 100 miles through the 
 enemy's country. Once had a bridge burned in front of him. and it was 
 much of the time difficult to rind passable roads, and places where streams 
 could be safely for. led. But the war was then drawing to a close as the 
 rebel soldiers could well see. The enemy had forces in the vicinity, but they 
 did not show their old time disposition to fight, and many Confederate 
 soldiers came in and surrendered to him. At night the) had quite a largi 
 camp of their own, but along side of the Union soldiers. They did not re- 
 quire much guarding and were only watched enough to see that there was 
 no treachery intended in their coming in and surrendering . A remarkable 
 feature of the expedition, was the friendly feeling that appeared to spring

 men were to divide their rations with the Confederates.

 ( ol. Jackson had for a long time been the only Field < (fficer with the 
 regiment. He was very much the youngest of the original ten captains 
 when the regiment was organized, and he was the only one of them that 
 served the whole term and came home with it.

 office April 16, 1868 in Xew Castle. Pa., where he has since been in active 
 practice to this time (April 1909). 
 
 He was elected and served a term as District Attorney from 1868 to 
 1871, and was County Solicitor from 1874 to 1880. He was appointed by 
 the Governor of Pennsylvania in pursuance of an Act of the Legislature 
 a member of a Commission to codify laws, and served on it in 1S77 and 
 1878. In 1884 he was elected as a republican a member of Congre 3 of 
 the United States to represent the 24th Pennsylvania Congressional 1 'i- 
 trict which is composed of Beaver, Lawrence and Washington Counties. 
 He was afterwards re-elected to Congress and served two full terms in suc- 
 cession. In Congress he was a member of the Committee on Public Lands. 
 and favored a policy of disposing of government lands to actual settlers, 
 and a strict construction of grants previously made for other purposes. 
 He was especially interested in tariff legislation, and before the Ways and 
 Means Committee and in the House proceedings, favored a protective 
 tariff and opposed the Morrison and Mills lulls. 
 
 He was one of the members selected to deliver a memorial address in

CAPT. CHAS. M. HARRISON. 
 Co. H, 6."!(1 0. V. V. I. 
 
 CAPTAIN CI (ARl.I'.s \\. HARRISON. 
 
 Company II. Sixty-third Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 Charles M. Harrison was born in Monroe County, * *hio, 25th January, 
 1835. His mother was also born in the same county, near the town of 
 Woodsfield. Her maiden name was Esther Hale. She was of English 
 descent, and her people had for several generations, been citizens and resi- 
 dents of this ci iuntry. 
 
 I lis father, George T. Harrison was horn in Virginia, and his people 
 for several generations were citizens of Virginia. They were well to do, 
 and people of property. George T. Harrison, his father, when a boy left 
 his home, went to sea. and for some years led a seafaring life and saw much 
 of the world. Having early acquired a dislike for the institution of slavery, 
 when he quil the sea in 1831, he did not return to his Virginia home, and 
 finally located in the free state of Ohio in Monroe County, lie married 
 there and made himself a home in which Charles was born. About 1843 
 the family removed to Athens County, Ohio, and located at what became 
 
Captain Charles M. Harrison. 361 
 
 known as Canaanville, in that county, where they were living when the 
 War nf the Rebellion began. 
 
 lie had two brothers, Owen and William Henry, and five sisters, viz : 
 
 Kate, now Airs. Bonar, 
 
 Sade, now Mrs. l'arkhurst, 
 
 Jen, now Airs. 1 lowell. 
 
 Lou. now Airs. Michael, and 
 
 Nellie, who was Mrs. Goodell, now deceased. 
 
 He was the eldest of the children and pretty early in life was thrown 
 upon his own resources for a livelihood. A little later he felt it to he his 
 duty to earn what he could by labor, to assist his widowed mother, in the 
 support of herself, and the younger children of the family. For these 
 reasons he had but a small opportunity to acquire an education in the 
 schools. He had been reared on a farm, and that was his work and business 
 up to the time he entered the army. 
 
 In the fall of 1861 he determined to enlist as a volunteer soldier, and 
 with that purpose in view went to Chillicothe, < Ihio, to a camp where several 
 Companies partly filled were being recruited to form a regiment. 
 
 He spent the day in Camp and made the acquaintance of Oscar L. 
 Jackson, who was then and there making an effort to recruit a Company 
 for three years' service. Jackson then had about one-third of a Company 
 enrolled and in Camp with him. and Harrison finally concluded to enlist 
 with him. He went home on leave to recruit and from time to time brought 
 back with him to cam].) other young men, his acquaintances and neighbors 
 as recruits. In this way he very materially aided in filling up the Company 
 which became Captain Jackson's Company II. of the Sixty-third Ohio 
 Infantry A'olunteers. With this Company Harrison served through the 
 war almost four years. He was present for duty with it, and with the 
 regiment substantially all the time of its service, as he was not much sick 
 and but little absent. 
 
 lie missed but few important movements or actions of the regiment. 
 His only wound during the service, was a gun shot wound in the arm, 
 received at Dallas on the Atlanta Campaign, when the enemy made the 
 night attack on our front line. When asked immediately after he was 
 wounded if he was bad hurt, he promptly answered. "No, the thing won't 
 give a furlough." And he didn't go to the hospital. 
 
 1 le had the rare distinction of filling every position in the Company 
 from that of private soldier to Captain. And it was the general judgment 
 of his comrades of the Company, as well as his superior officers in the 
 regiment that he filled every one of these positions well. He was appointed 
 First Corporal at the organization of the Company, Sergeant November 1, 
 
362 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 1862, and First Sergeant, Juno 20. 1863. Commissioned Second Lieutenant 
 May 25, 1864; First Lieutenant. October 25, 1864, and Captain, March 
 27, 1865. 
 
 After the battle of Corinth. ( tctober 4th, 1862, in which the Compan) 
 sustained very great loss in killed and wounded he commanded it for about 
 six weeks as Corporal, being the senior officer present. 
 
 The muster rolls on file in the War Department fur October 31, 1862, 
 are signed by him as Corporal commanding Company, a very unusual thing 
 to occur. 
 
 Captain Harrison as a soldier and officer was prompt to obey orders 
 and was also a strict disciplinarian. lie was cheerful and kind with his 
 men, looking carefully after their interests and welfare. In time-, of danger 
 and battle, he was resolute and brave beyond all question. < >f course, not 
 entirely without faults, but he was a good soldier in the strictest sense in 
 which the best soldiers use the term. 
 
 After his regiment was mustered out of service at the close of the war 
 he returned to his old home in Ohio, and remained for a short time. 
 
 He then went West, and travelled in different parts of the country, 
 finally entering the employ of the government in Indian Agencies, lie 
 was for a good many years employed in responsible positions by the govern- 
 ment on the Cheyenne and Crow reservations. 
 
 In 1898 Captain Harrison returned to his old home in Athens County. 
 Ohio, and settled down to his original occupation of farming, lie is now 
 a practical farmer with a taste for good stock in which line he is rather a 
 successful dealer. 
 
 In 1899, he married Miss Mary Smith, a lady of Scotch-Irish ancestry. 
 and a resident of the Captain's own neighborhood. They have in their 
 happy comfortable home two children. The eldest a daughter. Ellen May 
 Harrison and the other a son, Robert Smith Harrison. 
 
 The Captain retains his military taste and very much enjoys reunions 
 of the survivors of his old regiment. 
 
CAPTAIX DANIEL T. THORNE, 
 
 Company K, Sixty-Third Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 Daniel T. Thorne, a citizen of Montgomery County, Ohio, in the 
 Fall of 1862, being then about the age of 34 years undertook with others 
 to recruit men at Dayton, Ohio, for a new regiment to be called the 112th 
 ( >hio. They were only partially successful, and in November of that year, 
 they were transferred to the 63rd Ohio, and joined that regiment in the 
 field in northern Mississippi. He was given a Captain Commission in the 
 63rd Ohio, in consideration of his recruiting services, was assigned to Com- 
 pany K, and served with it during the following campaigns. 
 
 He took part with his company and regiment in the operations in 
 northern Mississippi and southwestern Tennessee in November and De- 
 cember, 1862, and in the fore part of 1863. He moved East with his com- 
 mand in the Fall of 1863 in the general movement of troops from the 
 Mississippi river toward Chattanooga. He took part with the regiment in 
 Gen. Dodge's operations from Elk river south, including the crossing of 
 the Tennessee river and capture of Decatur, Ala. 
 
 In the Spring of 1864 he moved East to Chattanooga and joined in 
 the Atlanta Campaign. He was present in command of his company and 
 participated in the operations and actions at Snake Creek Gap, Resaca, 
 Dallas, Kenesaw Alountain and crossing of the Chattahooche. 
 
 In the battle of Atlanta 22nd July, 1864, whilst in command of his 
 Company and engaged in very severe action, he received a gunshot wound 
 which entirely disabled him, and he was captured by the enemy. 
 
 He was kept a prisoner, his arm was amputated, and he was finally 
 confined in prison at Savannah, Ga., where he died from the effects of his 
 wound and the amputation October 5th. 1864. 
 
 He was a man of fine personal appearance, good habits, good character 
 and in every respect a courteous gentleman. 
 
 He came to the army a civilian without any previous military training, 
 but with a captain's commission, in a regiment that had then seen long and 
 hard service in the field. 1 le was placed in command of a Company, a 
 large part 'if whose members were old soldiers and he had thus a very 
 difficult position to fill. He at once devoted himself faithfully to acquiring a 
 knowledge of his duties as an officer. 
 
 He was kind to his men, faithful in performance of duty, and as soon 
 as the occasion offered he showed himself a brave and gallant soldier. 
 Long before he was wounded and captured, he had acquired the confidence 
 of his companv, the respect of his fellow officers and was regarded as 
 being one of the best officer-- of the regiment.

 Hi- mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Hastings Howard, was a 
 native of Ohio. Howard was an only son. He has a sister. Alary Forrer 
 Peirce, who is now (1909) the only surviving member of his immediate 
 family. His home was always in his native town, and he never married. 
 He was a graduate of the Dayton Central High School and was an assistant 
 principal in one of the public -ehools of that city when he entered the 
 army. 
 
 lie first served as a soldier in a short term State organization called 
 the Squirrel Hunters. 
 
 He assisted in recruiting at Dayton for the organization expected to 
 be called the 112th Ohio. When these men were transferred and joined 
 the 63rd Ohio in the field in November, 1862, he came with them, having 
 been given a Commission as Adjutant. He served as adjutant of the 63rd 
 Ohio from this on until his death and took part in practically all its opera- 
 te hi- during that time. He was killed in battle 22nd July, 1864, on the 
 Atlantic Campaign. His body was for a time in the possession of the 
 enemy, but the ground was later recovered and he was buried on the field, 
 about 150 yards southwest of the Court House at Decatur. Ga. 
 
 He was a man of pure life and upright character, a courteous gentle- 
 man. As an officer he was prompt, efficient, capable and performed the 
 difficult duties of adjutant so fairly and In mestly that he won the esteem 
 and friend-hip alike of officers and men of the whole regiment.

THOMAS J. SMITH. 
 
 A Sailor and a Soldier. 
 Company />. Twenty-seventh Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 In the year 1847, I was living in tin- seaport town of Fall River. 
 Massachusetts. I was eighteen year- of age. In those days a great many 
 of tlie young men on the coast of New England went to sea, and the stories 
 brought to my youthful ears of the wonder- of the deep and the life on 
 the ocean, filled me with a desire to become a sailor. 
 
 One evening in ( Ictober, 1847, 1 was on the way home from my work, 
 when I met my mother going to a near li\ -tore. She told me to hurry 
 home and put the kettle on the stove to boil, but before her return. 1 left 
 home and took pas-age on a steamer for New York City. None of my 
 people knew that I was going to adopt so dangerous an occupation as that 
 of a sailor, nor did they hear from me, until three years later. Then on 
 meeting my parent-, the first question I asked was, "Has the kettle boiled?" 
 
 I shipped in Xew York City, and sailed for New London, in the bark 
 "Drummo" with Captain Steel, in October, 1847. All green -eamen aboard 
 ship were put on a diet of bread and water until they had learned to "box 
 the compass and to make a double splice." The hardships on board of most 
 of the sailing vessels at that time, and the brutality of some of the captains 
 toward seamen made the life of a sailor comparable to that of a dog. 
 
 On our outward voyage, we sailed around Cape Horn, touched at 
 Juan Fernandez Islands, at Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, a six months' 
 sail. Then we cruised to the Society Islands, in the Yellow Sea. along the 
 coast of China and Korea and in the Okhotsk Sea, coast of Siberia. Eoi 
 Artie or Wright whale. Then we returned to Honolulu, where 1 shipped 
 with Captain Swane on the ship "Lagoda." 
 
 In these cruises we carried the American flag flying from our mast to 
 parts of the world where it had never been seen before. Returning to 
 Honolulu after a six month-' cruise, we fitted up the ship and sailed home- 
 ward, passing through the -trait- of Magellan. We landed in New Bed 
 fold. Massachusetts in the spring of 1850. 
 
 I went to Rogersville, Tennessee in 1857 where in 1859, I married Miss 
 Sarah Bradley, a daughter of a planter and postmaster. When the war 
 broke out. 1 Was carrying the mail, which exempted me from military Ser- 
 vice, but in 1863, T wa- conscripted by the ton federate Government. \ 
 few days afterward, I paid a negro to pilot me through the picket lines to 
 Knoxville and went to Nashville. I called on Governor Patterson, who 
 
Thomas J. Smith. 373 
 
 j;a\-e me employment in the United States Government shops. After leav- 
 ing my home, a troop of rebel cavalry entered my house, turned my wife 
 and child out, destroyed my furniture and provisions, and look the carpets 
 tn put under their saddles. My wife then got a pa>s through the rebel 
 lines and on her way to Chattanooga, was robbed by a straggling Union 
 soldier. She reported her loss to the Provost Marshall and then to the 
 member of Congress from that district. The latter knew that she was the 
 wife of a Union man and the money which had been taken from her was 
 restored. 
 
 I now determined to enlist and fight under the old flag that I had sailed 
 under in the far off seas. I went to Wooster, ( )hio, and enlisted in Com- 
 pany B, Twenty-seventh Ohio, in which regiment my brother Charles was 
 then a Captain. I took part in the toilsome march through southern swamps 
 with the First Division, Seventeenth Army d>rp>. At the surrender of 
 Johnston's Army, it was my pleasure to see the rebel flag go down and 
 the glorious old flag of our Union go up in triumph. In Washington at 
 the time of the grand review, it was an inspiring thing to see our flag in 
 full view, waving from all the public buildings, and draped around the 
 mottoes of "Welcome," "All Hail, Western Heroes," "Island Ten, Xew 
 Madrid," "Donaldson." "Shiloh." "Corinth," "Yicksburg," "Chattanooga," 
 "Atlanta." "Savannah," "Raleigh," and proudly carried by the regiments 
 of that triumphant army, that had never been defeated in battle, as they 
 marched down Pennsylvania Avenue, amid the mad enthusiasm of the 
 people. 
 
 After being mustered out with the regiment in July 1865, I returned 
 to Rogersville.* 
 
 ♦Thomas Smith died at Knoxville, Tennessee, April 14th. 1902, and is buried there 
 in the United States National Cemetery.

 David McMullen, the aulhcr of this life history, was burn in Warren 
 County, Ohio in 1837 and at the age of ten moved to Brown. Having 
 been brought up on a farm, lie apprenticed himself, when he was eighteen 
 years old, to the trade of a blacksmith, which trade was followed until 
 August, 1861. At this time he volunteered for three years service in the 
 Union Army, going direct t" Western fields. There, with cartridge box and 
 fort) rounds, he took part with his regiment in all its engagements and long, 
 weary, footsore marches, over the prairies and Ozark hills of Missouri. 
 lie took part in the capture of New .Madrid and Island Ten on the Mis- 
 sissippi River, the Siege <>i Corinth, the battle of [uka and the famous 
 defeat of Price and Van Dorn at Corinth, Mississippi, October 4th. 1862. 
 
David McMullen. 375 
 
 The latter half of his service was given in the capacity of regimental 
 blacksmith, in performing which service, he was required to shoe ever) 
 variety of army steed, from the General's charger down to the kicking 
 army mule in the wagon train, and much other work entirely foreign to 
 what he had learned in the village shop. 
 
 I lis enlistment having terminated, he left the front near Atlanta, 
 Georgia, and was mustered out, August 17th, 1864. The following spring 
 Mr. McMullen went by way of New York and the Isthmus of Panama to 
 California, thence by water and overland through Oregon, Washington 
 Territory and Nevada, to the gold fields of Idaho. There he engaged four 
 years in profitable mining, after which he retraced his steps hack to Ohio, 
 where in due time, he resumed his former calling at the forge and anvil. 
 
 This occupation he has followed to the present time, with a degree of 
 ■■uccess which enabled him to acquire a farm home with two hundred 
 and ten acres of good land. Now at the age of three score and eleven, the 
 sound of the anvil may still be heard, when work demands. 
 
 In 1871, Mr. McMullen married Cornelia Hangs, who became the 
 devoted mother of their six daughters, Ellen, Minnie, Lisey, Harriet, Alice, 
 and Hannah, all of whom are living. Their mother, his faithful companion 
 in life's journey, died. August ( >th, 1899.

 1 was born in the year 1842 and reared through early boyhood, in a 
 farm home, in Noble County. Indiana. At the age of fifteen, I went to 
 New Orleans, making that city my home, until the outbreak of the Civil 
 War. mosl of which time. 1 followed the river, in the capacity of a steam- 
 boat cabin boy. I have seen slaves sold in the New < >rleans auction mar- 
 ket, and I have seen fugitives rush down the stage plank and flee for liberty, 
 others jump overboard and swim for the shore, while bullets froin passen 
 gers' pistols could be seen skipping in the water about their heads. Those 
 whose hiding places writ' discovered were brought out hand-cuffed and 
 pursuant to the fugitive slave law. duly returned to the authorities. 
 
 In the Autumn of 1860, 1 quil the river and sought employment in a 
 Cincinnati hotel. It was probably this turn in my life that prevented my 
 having worn the gray instead ot the blue, which I donned at Camp Chase, 
 Ohio, August 13th, 1861. M> war record shows no act of special bra

 to fascination, and a reckless desire for it- continuance. I took part with 
 my regiment in all its campaigns, until optic disability necessitated my leav-

 county. Penna., August 6th, 1845. His mother died-when he was 15 months 
 old and his father when he was six years old. In 1852. he came to Morrow 
 County. Ohio, and lived with his grandparents, Archibald Auld and Rebecca 
 Carroll, his wife, both of whom were born m County Antrim. Ireland, of 
 Scotch parents. His grandparents on his father's side were English, whose 
 ancestors emigrated from Northumberland County to America in 1664. and 
 located in Morristown, N. J. Later they moved to Washington County, 
 Penna., and in 1794 entered land there which is still in the family. He 
 lived on a farm until the breaking out of the war and enlisted in Company 
 B, 43rd Ohio, at Mt. Gilead. September 14th, 1861, and served in this com-

 pany until December 25th, 1863, when he was discharged on account of 
 having re-enlisted as a veteran in the same company for three years more or 
 during the war. Was mustered out of the service July 13th, 1865, having 
 served three years and ten months lacking one day. In 1864, was offered 
 a commission as Second Lieutenant in an Alabama coir, red regiment, but 
 declined with the statement, "lie would prefer to serve as a private with the 
 boys with whom he was enlisted." Was appointed Quartermaster Sergeant 
 of the 43rd Ohio, May 22nd, 1865, and a short time before the close of the 
 war was offered a commission in the 43rd Ohio, but owing to an unjust 
 law of Congress, requiring soldiers who accepted a commission to forfeit 
 any veteran bounty still unpaid, declined to accept the appointment. 
 
 On his return from the army, located in Columbus, Ohio, and soon 
 after became identified with the building and contracting business with 
 David Auld. In fact, as boy partners in lXd2. they had the "Battle of 
 Corinth" lithographed from a sketch made by Air. Auld. and sold this to 
 the members of the Brigade. In 1870. the) moved to Steubenville, Ohio, 
 where they had contracts for large public buildings, and in the meantime 
 added slate roofing to their business. In 1S73. closed out their general con- 
 tracting business and moved to Cleveland, engaging extensively in the job- 
 bing of roofing slate, with their retail business. In 1885 became interested 
 in the mining of roofing slate in Pennsylvania and Vermont, anil are today 
 one of the largest producers in the United States. 
 
 His family consists of his wife. Anna M. Higgins. their daughter. Ma\

 The Governor of Ohio, R. M. Bishop, tendered the use of the Portrait 
 room in the Capitol Building for headquarters, to which all members were 
 invited to register their names and obtain badges. An informal meeting 
 was held in the afternoon of the 3rd at which old friendships were re- 
 newed and army associations revived. 
 
 The meeting was held in Representatives Hall of the Capitol Build- 
 ing which was appropriately decorated for the occasion. The Elite of the 
 City of Columbus gathered there with the old veterans to extend to them 
 their cordial and hearty welcome. ( leneral Charles C. Walcutt presided. 
 The exercises of the evening were opened by reveille under the direction of 
 Captain Horn, U. S. A., after which Chaplain R. L. Chittenden ottered 
 a prayer. The Amphious Chorus of Columbus sang "Marching through 
 Georgia" and the Garrison Band furnished the instrumental music, which

 with the heart}- welcome of the citizen- of Columbus through General John 
 Beaty, was thoroughly enjoyed and heartilj appreciated by the veterans. 
 The interest of the evening, however, concentrated in the address to the 
 Brigade by General John \\ . Fuller its former commander. I lis appear 
 ance was the occasion of a most heart) outbreak of enthusiasm and his 
 address was often interrupted by bursts of applause, when he renewed the 
 transactions of those memorable days in the history of the Brigade, in 
 which they played so prominent a part in the repulse of the rebel army, in 
 their desperate onslaught, at Corinth. Mississippi. They seemed to live- 
 over again the terrible scenes of the battle fields around Battery Robinet, 
 where so many of their number offered up their lives on the altar of tlieiv 
 country. 
 
 At the close of General Fuller's address. General Wager Swayne was 
 introduced, known and endeared to the entire brigade as a brave and noble 
 soldier and for his devotion to the cause, his kindness to the soldier and his 
 firmness and decision in the hour of danger. His address reviewed briefly 
 the objects that were to be accomplished by the war and the results since 
 developed. Chaplain Eton, Twenty-seventh Ohio, followed General Swayne 
 with a fine address, and he was followed by short and informal addres i : 
 from various members, General M. Churchill, Captain W. II. II. Minturn, 
 and Captain R. R. Shaw, of the Sixty-third. 
 
 Letters of regret were read from Major-General Rosecrans, Major- 
 General D. S. Stanley. Major-General G. M. Dodge, Brigadier-General 
 John W. Sprague, Major-General John A. Logan, and others. 
 
ADDRESS BY GENER \L JOHN W. FULLER. 
 To His Ohio Brigade, at Columbus, Ohio, October 3rd, 1878. 
 
 When friend- who have long heen steadfast arc scattered by life's 
 vicissitudes, and meet and greet in after years, one theme is uppermost in 
 every heart — the story of the day- when they stood side by side together; 
 the days in which they learned to trust each other and when the trials and 
 triumphs of each were common to them all. And thus it is, my comrades, 
 when once the joyous word with which we greet each other has been 
 spoken, it seems so very natural to wander back in fancy to those incidents 
 and scenes forever fresh in all our memories, forever woven with the days 
 when we all stood as one. 
 
 It is an old story to you all, and yet I could say nothing you would 
 hear more willingly tonight. So, drawing as I must from memory, I pur- 
 pose to sketch briefly an outline of the services of the old Brigade to which 
 you all belonged, while 1 had the honor to command. 
 
 It was about the 1st of July, 1862, when the resignation of Col. Groes- 
 beck left me senior officer of the brigade. And here let me say, that proud 
 as I am of having been your commander, 1 know there were others equally 
 able to take the place, and to whose ability and ever-ready co-operation we 
 are greatly indebted for what was done. I have sometimes thought that 
 few brigades in any army could show so many able officers: Smith, who 
 fell so young, and Sprague and Swayne and Xoyes; all not merely com- 
 petent, but all distinguished. And there were others who needed only op- 
 portunity to make their mark. Did you ever think how many of our officers 
 were detailed for important trusts elsewhere? General Pope began by 
 taking Col. Xoyes for service on his staff; then Surgeon Thrall was taken 
 from his regiment that he might serve as Medical Director of the army. 
 Col. Swayne must needs serve as Provost .Marshall for Western Tennessee. 
 Lieut. Yogelson was made Chief Commissary for a corps, with rank to cor- 
 respond; and when was wanted one to plan and care for an emancipated 
 race General Grant selected one of our chaplains for that task. We lost 
 a faithful officer but the black man gained a friend whose labor and suc- 
 cess in his behalf soon made the name of Eaton known throughout the 
 land. There were many, too, who graduated in our cam]) and took higher 
 rank elsewhere. Lathrop, wdto fell in battle near Athens, Ala., and Thomas 
 our generous host today, both captains in our line, left us to lead new 
 regiments. 
 
 When the Rebels gave up Corinth, our army occupied the ridges to 
 the south and near the town; and it was the good fortune of this brigade 
 \< < find a pleasant camp on Clear Creek. 
 
 It was good fortune too, for us, that the commander of our division 
 had once commanded the Brigade. For Stanley recollected your good be- 
 havior at New Madrid: and, on the other hand, you all remembered Stan- 
 le\ as a skillful officer, and you believed he was brave as Marshall Ney. 
 It was here that most of you met the distinguished soldier whom his friends 
 
596 I' ' ' ' i R's ' 'in" Brig \de. 
 
 delighted to call Old Rosy, and who was then assigned to command the 
 Arm) of the Mississippi. You have not forgotten his genial face nor the 
 tireless energy with which he looked inl > every detail. 
 
 In September, 1862, rumors were current that the enemy was ap- 
 . hi] g and soon we learned that "in- garrison at Inka. some 20 miles to 
 
 ast, bad been compelled to abandon its position and fall back toward 
 ill. \ strong reconnaissance showed that the rebel General Price 
 was in tuka, whereupon Gen. Grant ordered a simultaneous attack bj Rose- 
 crans, who was to approach from the south, and 1>\ Ord from the weft. 
 I be day before the attack Gen. Stanley bad been mi-led by his guide. 
 We bad marched far out of our way, and late at night found ourselves 
 -nine miles in rear of the leading division. It was the fault of the stupid 
 guk'.t, whem Rosecrans himself bad sent to show the road, so Stanley 
 said; but Rosecrans was so indignant at the mistake, thai when he rode 
 into our bivouac at midnight, and c: e ti the spot where several officers 
 were eating -upper, he spoke his mind with greater freedom than was 
 pleasant for his subordinates i i hear. 
 
 When Rosecrans learned that Stanley' division was so far behind he 
 fi rwarded that dispatch which caused Gen. Grant to postpone the time for 
 i )rd's attack. Gen. Grant t >!. I For granted, when this dispatch was read. 
 thai Stanley could not get up in time, and that Rosecrans would not attack 
 until the succeeding morning. Hence his orders to Gen. < >nl to wait. If 
 Gen. Grant had known then, as well as afterwards, how long your legs 
 were when there was a fight ahead, he would never have changed the origi- 
 nal plan; for at 3 o'clock next morning you were tmder way and before 
 noon had overtaken the rear of the leading division. 
 
 luka was a stubborn fight but the brunt of the battle fell on Hamilton's 
 division; and it was only when dusk was falling that Rosecrans ordered you 
 to the front. You moved forward with a cheer drowning for a moment the 
 roll of musketry; then on the crest, face to face with the enemy, you opened 
 thai deadly tire which ever thereafter marked this brigade when in the fore- 
 front of battle. But darkness fell quite suddenly and Rosecrans, wonder- 
 in- why he heard nothing of Ord, sent older- for us to halt and wait for 
 daylight Yet before dawn some skirmishers i of the o^th ) reported that 
 the lltb Ohio Battery, which had been losl that afternoon, could not he 
 carried oft since it was completel) covered by our line of fire, and we 
 had only to advance and take it back: and so it proved: for when at dawn 
 the brigade moved forward, the battery was found, and Neil (whose name 
 i- in thi- city of Columbus), with others of his comrades, was gladdened 
 with the sight of all the guns. 
 
 But the rebel den. Price knew exactly where Ord was, and foreseeing 
 that hi- troops, a- well as Rosecrans' would fight tomorrow, be quietly 
 withdrew under cover of the night and marched away. In luka early the 
 nexl morning, Rosecrans and < >rd shook hand-. Rosy complaining thai ( »rd 
 had failed to play the part assigned him in the plan of battle, and Ord 
 showing hi- order- of postponement. 
 
 ( Ird's command marched hack to t orinth. then to Bolivar, while Rose- 
 crans followed the rebel- in their circuit to the south and west, keeping 
 between them and his base at (orinth. and watching for that move which 
 would follow the union of the corps of Trice with the army of Van Dora, 
 
General John W. Fuller's Address. 3 i »7 
 
 which was reported near to Ripley. It was not a long suspense, for a few 
 days showed the enemy's intention, either to take and occupy ( orinth, or, 
 lea\'ing Corinth on their right, to assail General ( >rd at Bolivar, Tenn. We 
 waited until < let. 2nd before it was certain that Corinth was their objective 
 point. Then began the concentration of Rosecrans' troops to meet the at- 
 tack. 
 
 On the morning of < >ct. 3rd. just sixteen years ago today, the enemy 
 attacked the division of Gen. Davies at the outer line of works, the line 
 constructed by the rebels when Sidney Johnston and Beauregard held pos- 
 session of the town. Davies had been ordered there to retard the enemy's 
 advance until Rosy should be ready to let VanDorn come in. VanDorn's 
 superior strength enabled him to drive Davies from this line, but Davies' 
 men fought stubbornlv, and fell hack over that two or three miles so slowly 
 that it was near night when they approached the outskirts of the town, and 
 when re-enforcements enabled Davies to stop the enemas advance. Aft r 
 dark the Ohio Brigade marched to relieve on< of the brigades of Davies' 
 division, and was ordered to occupy the high ground near Battery Robinett. 
 Xear the crest was formed the line i f battle. Directly on the right of the 
 earth-work covering the battery and stretching across the ( hew alia road, 
 
 st 1 the men of the 63rd; next came the 27th; and farther still to the 
 
 right was the 39th regiment. < !n the left of the battery, facing the left, and 
 nearly at right angles to the main line, rested the 43rd. 
 
 Let us go back through the intervening years and in fancy place our 
 selves on the spot so occupied, and look again over that held which has 
 since been famous. Before you, for 300 yards, lie in confusion the few 
 trees which have been felled to form a partial abattis. Beyond this stands 
 the forest, and through both leads, without obstruction, the road to Che- 
 walla. To the right of the 39th the line of battle is broken for 300 yards. 
 by an impassable swamp, beyond which we see the rising ground occupied 
 by several brigades of our infantry, and on the extreme right, perhaps a 
 mile away, the earthwork called Fort Richardson. Turning to look over 
 your left shoulder you see a part of the division of General McKean, and 
 the redoubt called Battery Phillips, which form the left of Rosecrans' line 
 of battle. If you come to a right about, you see directly in the rear the 
 cut through the hill where lies the .Memphis railroad, and just over this, 
 on still higher ground, stands Fort Williams, with a 20-pounder Pari i 
 looking out of each embrasure. Your own batteries Co. F, of 2nd U. S., 
 and Co. C. of 1st Michigan Artillery, are ready for action on the high 
 ground abreast of Fort Williams; all apparently so near, that but for their 
 elevated position you might look down the cannon's throat-. Here you 
 waited during the long hours of the night of ( Ictober 3rd. and here you 
 fought on the morning of the 4th. 
 
 The removal of Davies' skirmish line, which by some mistake was not 
 made known to us, permitted the enemy to advance so closely that, although 
 hidden by darkness, you could hear him planting his guns in the edge oi 
 the forest not more than 300 yards in your front ; and during the night the 
 commander of that battery (1 think from \Vw Orleans) reconnoitering 
 the ground between his guns and your lines, was quietl) captured, mounted 
 though he was. by Captain ( since General) Brown, of the 63rd Ohio.

 It was a night of suspense and anxiety to all. We knew that Gen. 
 Hackelman had been killed, and we had seen Gen. Oglesby carried to the 
 rear, with a wound we supposed was mortal. Hundreds more, wounded 
 during the day's fight, had been borne to the hospitals, and the men of 
 Davies' division, who had fought against great odds all day and had been 
 slowly driven back, seemed well nigh disheartened. You knew you had to 
 meet an enemy not only strong and resolute, hut who was also flushed with 
 what he tin night was a victory. Hence you listened with anxiety to those 
 soumK of preparation so plainly heard from the hill, where, lying down 
 without sleep, you waited for the assault. It seems strange, in view of the 
 rapid and thorough mode of entrenching afterwards acquired, that ii" 
 attempt was made to fortify, especially since we now know how much 
 superior the enemy was in numbers. But we had no1 then learned the use 
 of spades. 
 
 With the earliest dawn of day. the rebel battery in front opens fire. 
 What a magnificent display! No rockets ever scattered fire like the burst- 
 ing of those shells. Not long, however, for as soon a- there is light enough 
 to aim, the 20-pounder Parrots in Fort Williams suddenly belch forth, and 
 make the place occupied by the rebel battery so hoi that it is hurriedly 
 withdrawn. Yet not all, for one gun has been abandoned, and some ven- 
 turesome boys of tlie 63rd Ohio, with others of the 2nd L'. S. Infantry, run 
 forward, and pull it into our lines by hand. Then came tierce fighting 
 between the skirmishers. The enemy had the cover of the woods, while 
 our men crept from log to log in the endeavor to gain the better cover of 
 the forest. Reinforcements to our skirmishers enabled them, after tw i 
 hours fighting, to drive the rebels back and gave the shelter sought. Hut 
 not far off the conformation of the ground was peculiarly fortunate for 
 the enemy. He could lie on tlie crest of a series of ridges ami sweep every- 
 thing in his front, scarcely exposing a man to view. Behind these ridges 
 he was massing bis men for assault. 
 
 About 10 or 11 o'clock our attention is diverted from the fierce skirmish 
 in our immediate front by the advance of Gen. Price's divisions which are 
 moving out of the woods to our right front, and marching upon the troops 
 and fort which form the right of Rosecrans' line of battle. A splendid 
 sight is that, as one rebel brigade after another moves in fine style over the 
 ground which our position overlooks so plainly. Tlie attack is fierce, and 
 we soon are shocked to see our line give way and retire into the very town. 
 We notice, too, some of our batteries drawn out of position and rapidly 
 pulled to the rear. The gnus of Fort Williams and of our own batteries 
 directly in our rear, are all turned to the right, and an enfilading lire 
 sweeps through the rebel hosts with an effect very plainly visible; Inn. 
 though disordered somewhat, they move on; fresh troops pour out of the 
 woods, and we see the rebels rushing over the works on our right, and 
 pouring into Corinth itself. \ rolling fire is heard in tlie streets, and soon 
 after tlie rebels begin to retire. They stand awhile a! the works they had 
 captured, hut our boys are coming to the front again from the town. At 
 this juncture, some regiments of Hamilton's division, not previously en- 
 gaged, are thrown forward on the extreme right, where, as finely aligned 
 as if on parade, they are pouring a stream of lead into the rebel ranks. A 
 
General John W. Fuller's Address. 399 
 
 little later we say to each other most joyously, "( lur boys are driving them 
 back again." 
 
 But a fiercer tire than ever opens on our own skirmish line and a 
 constant hum of bullets tells us that our time is coming now; and it proves 
 to be the rebel center moving for the main attack upon the place we occupy. 
 I.i inking through the trees before us we plainly see the rebel banners and 
 their attacking column advancing. The 43rd changes front forward on 
 its right company, and the 11th Missouri is brought forward and held in 
 reserve, just behind the 63rd Ohio. Our skirmishers are driven back pell- 
 mell upon the line of battle; the artillery with us in Robinett and the 
 artillerists which play over our heads from the rear are firing rapidly, and 
 some of your officers are running along the line ordering you to "Get down 
 and lie low until they are close upon us." In another minute the head nf 
 the rebel column coming along the Chewalla road, is seen near by. heading 
 straight for the 63rd and Mattery Robinett. Now you rise to your feet and 
 pour into the enemy that steady tire which fills the road with his dead, and 
 seems to cause a halt; for though the rear of his column moves steadily on. 
 the head of it comes no nearer, but appears to melt away. But the enemy 
 is firing too. Along the whole length of the 63rd and portions of the 27th 
 and 43rd. officers and men are falling fast. 
 
 Some scenes here witnessed, though almost as brief as if revealed by 
 a flash of lightning, are stamped indelibly upon our memories. Just where 
 the 63rd joins the 27th. three men go down together. One, in the front 
 rank, is lifting his arms high in the air and slowly sinking down. The man 
 behind, and covering the first, sinks as if a thunderbolt had struck him: 
 while another turns around, and with a look of agony upon his face, and 
 trying to walk to the rear, moves but a step and falls. Capt. McFadden 
 of the 63rd shouts out his first command in battle, and is dead. Lieut. 
 Webb, of the 27th. endeavors to repeat the order to "fire low." and while 
 his mouth is open wide, a bullet enters. lie throws up his hands and 
 falling on his face, is still forever. But the men not hit heed nothing; 
 they fire incessantly, and their faces, black with powder, make noticeable 
 their flashing eyes and their set teeth, so that the}- look like demons. 
 
 A minute later, the column in the Chewalla road has disappeared, but 
 a strong force a little farther to the west is approaching the left of Robinett, 
 and is making sad havoc in the ranks of the 43rd. This regiment has 
 hardly finished its maneuvers of changing front, obstructed as is the field 
 with logs and brush, and exposed moreover to a flank fire from the Che- 
 walla road. A glance in their direction reveals a startling picture. Col. 
 Kirby Smith, commander of the regiment, is down, rider and horse together. 
 Smne men now raise him up, his face falls over toward us. and we see his 
 cheek is red with blood. Lieut. Heyl. the Adjutant, trying to keep his 
 saddle, clutches his horse's mane but gradually loses his grip, and before a 
 comrade with outstretched arms can reach him. he is on the ground. A 
 dozen more along the line drop in that instant, and the enemy's fire from 
 front to flank is s ( , severe that for a moment a rout is feared: but only for 
 a moment, for Swavne here takes command of the regiment and is steady- 
 ing the line, and Gen. Stanley, who rode over to the right when he thought 
 that all the fighting was to lie done there, gallops back in the nick of time 
 to help. His coming at that critical moment seemed like the arrival oi 
 
400 I i ller's Olim Bricade. 
 
 reinforcements. And now this regiment takes sudden vengeance for its 
 Colonel's fall; for they drive back, with great slaughter, the force which 
 approaches to the left of Robinett, and shool ever) rebel who shows his 
 head above the parapet or tries to climb through the embrasures of the 
 battery, when the final effort is made very soon after, to carry that work 
 by storm. 
 
 While the 43rd is tints engaged, Col. Rogers, commanding the Texan 
 Brigade, rides out from the woods and with his troops moves along the 
 Chewalla road heading for the battery and the 63rd. Another moment his 
 horse is shot, and he is coming along the road on foot. I lis leading color 
 sergeant falls, when Rogers, picking up the colors, continues to advance 
 with flag in hand. A cloud of rebel skirmishers on either side of the road 
 are firing heavily on the 63rd and left wing of the 27th. until 48 per cent 
 of the men of the former regiment are killed or wounded, and the line is 
 so much thinned that Col. Spragtie and I, standing behind, can look right 
 through it and distinctly see the advancing" rebels now close at hand. 
 
 I shall always recollect how well Sprague looked at that eventful 
 moment. Tall, and commanding in appearance, with sword in one hand 
 and pistol in the other, he stood as a painter likes to portray an officer in 
 battle. I shall remember too, looking at the face of the rebel Col. Rogers, 
 when not distant more than 30 yards, and noting the peculiar expression 
 it bore. He looked neither at the right nor left, neither at his own men 
 nor at mine; but with eyes partly closed, like one in a bail storm, was 
 marching slowly and steadily upon us; and there flashed through my mind 
 this question, "Is he stupid with drink, or is he simply resolved to calmly 
 meet a fate which he foresees?" Before there was time to answer to myself 
 this question, the rebel column in the road seemed to gain some tremendous 
 impetus from the rear, for it suddenly rushed on like a great wave, threaten- 
 ing to sweep into the gap which had been shot through the 63rd and to 
 carry the redoubt by storm. The supreme moment had now come; and f 
 turned to give the signal to the 11th .Missouri in reserve and close behind. 
 The leader of this regiment, perhaps ten minutes earlier, had received his 
 orders; they had been sung out over the heads of his men so that every 
 soldier in the ranks knew what was wanted and there was no need to 
 repeat them now. "Forward!" shouted the Major as the regiment sprang 
 up, and 1 had to run to the right to let them pass. With a short, quick 
 step, and alignment perfect, they filled up the gap which the enemy's fire 
 had made, charging the rebel column on the head. The 27th, under Spauld- 
 ing, which had lost heavily, yet still was full of fight, joined by a plucky 
 remnant of the 63rd, rushed forward at the -ante moment, charging the 
 column obliquely on its left flank, when in an instant the whole scene 
 changed. Rogers, with many of his men. lay dead before us. and those 
 who were not prisoner--, were flying back to the woods. ( Ine moment, the 
 rebel-- seemed to be swarming over us in thousands, our own lines looked 
 thin and weak, we seemed threatened with destruction; the next, most of 
 the living of the foremost rebels were our prisoners, a few hundred, appar- 
 ently, were running to the forest, while our boys seemed to have swelled 
 into mam thousands. 
 
 In the melee, this banner of the enemy I pointing to a captured flag 
 displayed in rear of speaker) was captured by a private of the 27th Ohio. 
 
General John W. Fuller's Address. 401 
 
 Orrin B. Gould, of Co. G, who, 1 am glad to see, is here tonight. But 
 there was one red flag, I think the banner briefly borne by Rogers, which 
 escaped us by a miracle. Some bold Texan had picked it up almost from 
 beneath our feet, and throwing the staff across his shoulders, ran in zig- 
 zag manner for the woods. He dodged behind a log a moment here, then 
 behind a stump there ; he was fired at by twenty men or more, and once, 
 whether hit or not, tumbled headlong when striding a fallen tree. Yet he 
 escaped with the banner after all ; and as he passed over the ridge out of 
 our sight, some of the boys who had missed him gave him the cheer that 
 was due a hero. 
 
 An incident may here be mentioned of the 43rd. When the rebels 
 made their final effort to break through our lines, Lieut. Robinett of the 
 battery, severely wounded in the head, fell senseless under one of his guns. 
 At this, most of his men ran to the rear. A moment later some of the men 
 of Co. A, of the 43rd, entered the battery and aided the few brave fellows 
 who had stood their ground to man the guns. The enemy was now retreat- 
 ing and in the excitement a little drummer passed directly before the bat- 
 tery and jumped upon a log to see the rebels run. A piece had just been 
 sighted, and "ready, fire" followed before the little fellow was discovered. 
 When the smoke cleared up we saw that both his legs were torn away. 
 Somehow there seemed a sting in the recollection thaat men of his own 
 regiment had fired the shot. And now came Col. Noyes of the 39th, who 
 was so far to the right that his men could only get an oblique fire, asking 
 permission to bring his regiment to the Chewalla road where they could 
 take a hand when the next assault should come. Two minutes later the 
 regiment was across the road, but the battle was over. 
 
 That thrill of ecstasy which victory brings was here intensified by an 
 act of the commanding general. Rosecrans had lost his temper when the 
 troops attacked by Price had temporarily given way, and had hardly time 
 to become appeased by their subsequent good conduct. Still nursing his 
 wrath, and having seen VanDorn had met with a different reception at the 
 hands of this Brigade, he was disposed to extol the men w r ho fought near 
 Robinett at the expense of those who had fallen back. So, riding to the 
 crest we occupied and pointing to the right, he said, "I have just come 
 from a part of the field where some of our troops retreated like old women ; 
 but now I know, not only from what I heard and what I saw from a 
 distance, but also from these piles of dead along your front, that I am in 
 the presence of brave men. So brave, that I take off my hat in your 
 presence and thank you, in our country's name, for your great valor.'" Xo 
 soldier who had heard those words will be likely to forget them, nor the 
 appearance of Rosecrans as he addressed us, hat in hand. 
 
 During the afternoon the brigade was ordered to reconnoiter to the 
 front. We felt our way for two miles or more, till we reached the rebel 
 hospital. Here we rescued Col. Mower, of the 11th Missouri, who, early 
 in the dav, mistaking the enemy's troops for ours, had been wounded and 
 taken prisoner. 
 
 After the battle came McPherson, with a brigade of infantry from 
 Jackson, Tenn. He had been compelled to make a wide detour and came 
 t<> us through Farmington. His troops were fresh and he was accorded the 
 advance, when the next morning we moved forward in pursuit of the 
 
402 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 retreating rebels. We heard artillery at the Hatchie, where Orel had met 
 and stopped them, but were not close enough to prevent VanDorn's escape 
 across the river to the south. That night, when several officers were at 
 McPherson's tent, a courier brought dispatches and some mail, and there 
 McPherson received his commission as a Major-General. McPherson 
 seemed surprised at this and said "he had not earned his first star yet." 
 When we had advanced as far as Ripley, the army was ordered back to 
 Corinth, Gen. Grant deeming it not prudent to push farther. Here, quietly 
 in camp for several days, we had time to measure and to mourn our heavy 
 
 When Gen. Grant's army moved southward for the rear of Vicksburg, 
 the IJrigade, now joined to Hamilton's division, moved on the left. Through 
 Holly Springs we marched, and on to Oxford. Here, late one evening, 
 the infantry was ordered to take the cars forthwith for Jackson in our rear. 
 Next day three trains, each bearing a regiment, reached Jackson, Tenn. 
 The other had been halted at Bethel on the way. Forrest, the great Con- 
 federate raider, had crossed the Tennessee and destroyed our rail connection 
 with the North, and we had come to aid in driving him away. After some 
 marches and counter-marches we found ourselves near the enemy. Col. 
 Dunham, of Indiana, was sent ahead to intercept his march at Parker's 
 Cross Roads, and we were to follow the next morning. At four o'clock 
 we started and marched till daylight when a halt was made for breakfast. 
 That over, we moved on, and soon the sound of cannon in our front advised 
 us that Forrest was attacking Dunham's brigade. And then began a strug- 
 gle in which legs told. Within an hour and a half you marched seven miles 
 without a halt with ranks well closed ; and when a hill was reached whence 
 Forrest's men and guns were seen, you formed in line of battle on the 
 double quick, and went down for them with such good will that every 
 rebel gun unlimbered and in action was yours in five minutes, and Forrest's 
 forces were galloping away. Not all, however, for many had dismounted 
 in the fight, and their horses left in the rear were ours, and their riders 
 must surrender. You captured here six guns, four hundred horses and 
 three hundred and sixty officers and men of this bold raider's command. 
 Among the officers was Major Strange, of Forrest's staff, who demanded 
 exemption from arrest. He was under a flag of truce, he said, and claimed 
 to be paroling some of Col. Dunham's men, who had surrendered. We 
 knew nothing of any surrender, nor any flag, and of course we held him 
 prisoner. And it is clue to Col. Dunham here to say, that he denied all 
 thoughts of capitulation. This action happened on the last day of 1862. 
 A more momentous battle, then raging at Stone River, so absorbed the 
 public mind, that your defeat of Forrest was hardly noticed. Yet Forrest 
 was not beaten every day. 
 
 A long and weary march behind the rebel cavalry came next. There 
 was no hope that infantry could overtake Forrest's well mounted force, but 
 orders must be obeyed. We had no train, and nothing in our haversacks ; 
 so \\c waded through the knee-deep mud, scaled with thin ice. camping each 
 night near to some mill, where we ground corn enough to last a day. The 
 sequel proved that this march cost more lives than we had lost in fighting 
 Forrest. 
 
General John W. Fuller's Address. 403 
 
 From the Tennessee River, where the retreating rebels crossed, we 
 marched to Corinth. Here the garrison was living on half rations. But 
 when Gen. Dodge learned how you had suffered, saw how you needed food 
 and rest, full rations were issued you and tents and clothing, till we had 
 cause to thank our stars that our lines had fallen in such pleasant places, 
 and we had Dodge for our commander. 
 
 When Grant directed everything at Memphis to come to him at Vicks- 
 burg, the Ohio brigade was ordered to march and garrison the former city. 
 This was your single "soft spot" of the war. Excepting this, your lot was 
 always at the front ; but here for some months you lounged in camp, guarded 
 the gardens, flirted with the ladies, and seldom missed a "good square meal." 
 
 When Sherman, coming up from Vicksburg with the 15th corps, 
 started across for Chattanooga, Gen. Dodge was ordered to fall in and 
 march with his command. Dodge asked that we might join and move with 
 his division. The order directing this was grateful. We were tired of the 
 dullness of camp in Memphis and gladly turned our faces again toward 
 Corinth. Stopping at Corinth but a day we moved onward to Iuka, and 
 reported there to Sherman. When Sherman started eastward, we awaited 
 Dodge, then crossed the Tennessee with him and marched as his advance, 
 camping some miles ahead of the division, and exchanging signals every 
 night with rockets. 
 
 We had marched on through Pulaski, when a courier from Gen. Sher- 
 man brought orders for us to halt and put the Nashville road in order. 
 Next morning the brigade moved south to Prospect, where the railroad 
 crosses the Elk River, and encamped for the winter. There you re-enlisted 
 as veterans and from Prospect went to spend the holidays with the dear' 
 ones at home. 
 
 Returning again to Prospect, you soon moved further south, and early 
 in the spring you crossed the Tennessee and took possession of Decatur. 
 Alabama. This movement, made at night, was novel to us and full of 
 interest. Some seventy boats, secretly moored in a little stream flowing 
 into the river some miles above, were quietly filled with men ; the first 
 taking as many as it would carry, who in line of battle should stand on the 
 extreme right of the Brigade; the next, those who would stand next, and 
 so on ; the last bearing those whose place was on the left. Three regiments 
 filled the boats. The oars were muffled and skilled oarsmen from the ranks 
 were chosen, who, as soon as we had landed, were to re-cross the river and 
 bring more troops. We floated with the current, each boat following its 
 leader in close order so quietly that even the ducks, covering the river for 
 miles, not once took the alarm. When we reached the point where a 
 friendlv picket advised us we were nearly abreast the town, every boat, at 
 the command "by the left flank" headed for the southern shore, the oars- 
 men pulling their best strokes. A few shots were fired by the rebel out- 
 posts as we landed, but so well was the arrangement carried out, that the 
 regiments were up the bank and in line of battle within two minutes. 
 
 Day was just breaking, a dense fog shut everything from sight. 
 Col. Sprague was directed to sweep round to form the left and approach 
 the town from the southwesterly direction. Col. Swayne followed, so as 
 to approach from the east, his right resting on the river. The 9th Blinois 
 
404 Fuller's Ohio Brigade 
 
 had been sent to cross below the town, and was to cover the westerly side 
 from the Courtland road to the river below; and thus we hoped to stop 
 all avenues by which the Johnnies could escape. But, like many other plans 
 dependent for success upon the exact co-operation of two columns, moving 
 independently, this failed. Sprague had been cautioned not to let his left 
 extend beyond the Courtland road, for fear that in the dense fog he might 
 be firing on the 9th Illinois, or be fired upon by them. But the Illinois regi- 
 ment was delayed in crossing and thus a gap was left through which the 
 enemy escaped. Sprague killed a lieutenant on the wing, as it were, when 
 they were running, and it was said wounded some others, but neither 
 Swayne nor Churchill got a single shot. But now we found the boats 
 inadequate to span the river, and a dozen more must be constructed to com- 
 plete the bridge which would connect us with our base. As we had not a 
 gun nor horse across as yet, we were somewhat nervous, and lost no time 
 until the bridge was finished the next day. We also strongly fortified our 
 position, after which we occasionally marched out a couple of miles or so to 
 skirmish with the enemy. 
 
 Before starting on the Atlanta campaign, the forces were reorganized, 
 and you found yourselves in different brigades. So here the Ohio Brigade 
 passed out of sight. Yet in their new positions these regiments had other 
 struggles and other triumphs. At Resaca, the 43rd, under Swayne, was 
 specially distinguished, and again before Atlanta. At Dallas, the 27th had 
 opportunity to show its old time valor. At Nickajack, this regiment, under 
 Churchill, and the 39th now led by Noyes, charged the rebels in their works 
 and drove everything before them. It was a costly charge, for with many 
 other gallant souls, Noyes was shot down. He only lost a leg, but it was 
 a total loss to us, since he never rejoined his regiment. At Decatur, the 
 63rd fought valiantly against great odds, till Swayne could bring the trains 
 to a place of safety, and won fresh laurels for themselves and also for their 
 old commander Sprague. 
 
 Before Atlanta, on the 22nd of July, the 27th and 39th rendered their 
 greatest service of the war. A great opportunity was here made most of. 
 Upon the valor of the 16th corps rested the safety of all our trains, and 
 perhaps that of a part of the Army of the Tennessee. It is safe to say no 
 regiments of the corps had more responsibility in the great battle than did 
 these two : none certainly proved truer to their trust. Twice they charged 
 the enemy who essayed to take possession of the open field where they were 
 fighting, and twice they drove him back ingloriously to the woods. 
 
 After Atlanta we all marched down to the sea. When coming home- 
 ward through the Carolinas, the 43rd lost the services of its commander, 
 Swayne, as brave — and what means far more — as faithful an officer as any 
 in our ranks. When that cannon shot destroyed his leg and we sent him 
 in an ambulance to the rear, we hardly dared hope that we should meel 
 again. Soon after this event we were made joyous by the surrender of 
 Joe Johnston's army, the last obstacle which stood between us and those 
 homes and loved ones we were longing to rejoin. 
 
 1 have been reminded, especially when attempting to describe the 
 battle whose anniversary we have chosen for this gathering, of an old adage 
 which savs that "no two soldiers ever saw a battle with the same eyes.'' 
 
General John W. Fuller's Address. 405 
 
 If some soldier in the ranks or some officer in the line of file-closers, listen- 
 ing tonight, has heard of incidents he did not notice; or, what is quite 
 probable, if his own eyes took in some thrilling scene which to him seems 
 as important as anything I have mentioned, and he is wondering why it is 
 omitted, it will only be another proof of the truth of that old proverb. I 
 have thought it better on an occasion like this, standing before so many 
 witnesses whose opportunities to observe were as good as mine, to give, 
 faithfully as I conld, simply those pictures which live in my own memory. 
 What was observed by others, I leave for them to tell. 
 
 It is difficult in such a sketch as this to call by name even those who 
 were prominent. Yet Churchill, commander of the 27th, in the great 
 battle of Atlanta; Lynch, next in rank, shot through and through, yet --till 
 most mercifully spared: Brown, heading the 63rd until shot down on that 
 same day; McDowell and Weber, gallant leaders of the 39th; and Parks 
 of the 43rd, always conspicuous in a tight ; these seem to suggest themselves. 
 
 But who shall call the roll of the brave boys who fought these battles ? 
 — the names of those who died, or of those who lived to see the end? Men 
 of the ranks, yon did the work, and yours it is to fully share the honor of 
 every victory won. In all the skirmishes and combats, in all the battles 
 which now belong to history, you who bore the musket, share equally with 
 those who carried the sword a measure of such honor as is due. But there 
 was one act in the great drama of the war which was played by you alone. 
 One picture stands before us whenever we turn back, which is grander than 
 all else ; a scene in which no officer appears — a movement of the rank and 
 file. It is no direct assault upon the enemy, yet it does more to rob him 
 of all hope than any battle of the war. Tis when the expiration of the 
 soldier's term of service is drawing nigh, and no sign appearing that the 
 war will end. our Government, with fresh alarm asks "What shall be done 
 when the old soldiers are discharged?" It is when our President, trusting 
 the men who first responded to his call, looks in their ranks once more, and 
 calls upon these private soldiers, who for thirty weary months have toiled 
 and fought, to enter the lists again: this time for all the war. 
 
 For awhile these ranks are silent. They are thinking of those North- 
 ern homes they long so much to see ; of those dearest ones of earth, so 
 near to them while dreaming, so far off when awaking. 
 
 The North, with bated breath, listens for the response. The South, 
 with fatal blindness, is gathering her last strength to give the fatal stab to 
 the nation's heart. The monarchies across the sea are watching- with a 
 scornful smile for the downfall of the young Republic. 
 
 And still the ranks are silent. 
 
 From the cotton fields and rice swamps of the gulf, the black man 
 lifts his dusky brow, and wonders if the freedom he has dreamed about will 
 really come. In the hospitals behind our lines, and in the distant prisons 
 of the South, are comrades whispering, as they ask each other. "Will our 
 life blood ebb away in vain?" 
 
 But now the silence breaks. The measured tread of an army keeping 
 step is heard: and that wondrous scene unfolds which the whole world 
 beholds — the marshalling of the veteran hosts. The soldiers of the rank- 
 stand forth. In the grim school of war have they been taught how much 
 
406 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 this step may cost; in the same school have realized how much there is at 
 -lake. And now, with purpose fixed, these warriors shout forth their 
 grand response: ".Muster us again. For all the war muster us in," till 
 the mighty chorus is echoing gloriously from every hill top of the North, 
 and rumbling ominously in the remotest valley of the South. From this 
 patriotic hour was the doom of the rebellion sealed. 
 
 A RAID TO THE ALTAMAHA RIVER. 
 By Major Charles II. Smith; 
 
 < hi the raid from King's Bridge, Georgia, to the Altamaha River, there 
 were found a large number of files of old newspapers at the County Court 
 House, in Hinesville, Liberty County. One of them was the supplement 
 to the Georgia "Gazette," published September 1st, 1796, which the writer 
 has in his possession. It is printed on a sheet of paper, thirteen and one- 
 fourth inches long, by eight inches wide and the type has the old-fashioned 
 ">". It furnishes curious reading in these days and shows the customs 
 of the times in dealing with the slaves. One side of the paper contains ten 
 Sheriff sales of real estate, negroes, cattle, hogs, sheep, and horses. The 
 negroes on sale number from one to one hundred and thirty-five at each 
 sale. On the other side of the paper are thirteen advertisements offering 
 rewards for the capture of runaway slaves. The following is a sample of 
 the kind of advertisement published:

A FIRST SERGEANT'S DUTIES. 
 
 By Orderly Sergeant Charles H. Smith, 
 
 Twenty-seventh Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 An orderly Sergeant is required to do man)' things in active service 
 and here are some of them: To call the roll of the company two to five 
 times or more each day, inspect cartridge boxes and cap boxes at retreat, 
 see that the lights are out at "taps," see that the men keep themselves and 
 their clothes clean, go with them to sick call each day, get their medicines 
 
 and see that they take it, draw rations, see that every man gets his share, 
 
 see that the rations last for the time for which they were drawn, see that 
 they are all cooked, that none are wasted or destroyed, see that mess pans 
 and kettles are kept clean, see that none are lost, to know where every man 
 in the company is, report them present or accounted for, see that each 
 man has a place to sleep, settle all disputes, make detail for guard and 
 picket duty and for fatigue duty, draw and issue clothing, copy orders, 
 make out provisions returns, monthly and morning reports, and while doing 
 all these things, to keep good humored. He is between two fires ; first, he 
 
 is cursed by his superiors ; second, he is recursed by his subordinates if 
 
 anything in their respective judgments goes wrong. 
 
 SIXTY-THIRD OHIO IXFAXTRY. 
 
 ORGANIZATION — COMMANDERS — MUSTER OUT. 
 
 By Colonel Oscar L. Jackson, 
 Sixty-Third Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 The Sixty-third Ohio was recruited and organized from counties in 
 the southeastern part of the state under the first call in 1861 for 300,000 
 men to serve for three years to suppress the slaveholders' rebellion. Wil- 
 liam E. Gilmore, who had served as Colonel of the Twenty-second Ohio 
 in the previous three months' service, obtained authority to recruit a 
 regiment for this three years' service, of which he was to be Colonel, to 
 be also known as the Twenty-second Ohio. 
 
 A camp was located at Chillicothe, Ohio, called Camp Worthington, 
 and the work of recruiting for the regiment began in the month of August, 
 1861. Capt. William Craig, of the I". S. Regular Army obtained authoritj 
 to recruit a regiment, of which he was to be Colonel, for the three years' 
 
408 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 service, to be railed the Sixty-third Ohio. He located a Camp at .Marietta. 
 Ohio, called tamp Tupper, and engaged men about first of October, 1861, 
 to recruit for several companies of his proposed regiment. 
 
 In the latter part of December, 1861, Col. Gilmore at Chillicothe had 
 about em mgh men enlisted to organize seven companies, and Capt. Craig 
 at Marietta had about enough to organize four companies. Work at 
 recruiting was still going on. but neither of these organizations was com- 
 pleted by recruiting, for the following reasons: 
 
 Early in January, 1862, Governor Tod ordered six full companies of 
 the men at Chillicothe recruited for Twenty-second Ohio to be transferred 
 td Marietta, to join the four companies there. This made a full regiment 
 at Marietta, and which he called the Sixty-third. 
 
 The surplus men at Chillicothe over and above the six companies, 
 were transferred to Alt. Vernon to join a regiment being recruited there 
 called the Forty-third. Governor Tod appointed as Colonel of the Sixty- 
 third thus formed. John \Y. Sprague, who had not assisted in recruiting 
 any part of it. and who was an entire stranger to every member of it. 
 
 Col. Gilmore of the Twenty-second was appointed Lieutenant Colonel, 
 and Capt. Craig, of the Regular Army, who had recruited the four com- 
 panies at Marietta dropped out entirely. The companies of the new 
 regiment were given letters according to the respective rank of their Cap- 
 tains, the senior commencing with A. The six companies recruited at 
 Chillicothe were designated A. 1'.. E, II. 1 and K and the four companies 
 recruited at Marietta were designated C, D, F, and G. 
 
 The companies were assigned places in line in the regiment according 
 to the letter given each and the rank of its Captain, as provided in Army 
 Regulations. This order is as follows, commencing on the right, viz., A, 
 F, D, I, C, H, E, K, G and P.. The companies of the Sixty-third main- 
 tained this order in line during their four years' service — no change being 
 made bv reason of subsequent changes in rank of Captains as was done in 
 sc ime regiments. 
 
 The original Captains of the Regiment, and the localities from which 
 thev principally recruited their respective companies are as follows, viz.: 
 
 Company .1, Captain Nathan Picket. 
 
 Recruited mostly from northern part of Athens county. Some from 
 adjoining counties. 
 
 Company B, Captain Charles E. Brown. 
 Recruited in Ross county. 
 
 Company C, Captain Christopher E. Smith. 
 Recruited in Meigs county. 
 
 Company D. Captain John IF. Fonts. 
 Recruited in Washington, .Morgan and Noble counties. 
 
 Company fi. Captain Thomas McCord. 
 Recruited in Ross and Pike counties. 
 
 Company F, Captain Charles H. Titus. 
 Recruited in Washington, Meivs and Noble counties. 
 
Sixty-third Ohio Infantry. 409 
 
 Company G, Captain Rodney K. Shaiv. 
 Recruited in Washington, Athens and Morgan Counties. 
 
 Company H, Captain Oscar L. Jackson. 
 Recruited, about one-third each from Hocking and Athens counties. 
 and the other one-third from Ross, Vinton, Washington and Morgan 
 counties. Headquarters at recruiting. Starr township (near Logan) Hock- 
 ing county. 
 
 Company 1, Captain James Taggart. 
 Recruited principally in Ross county, some from adjoining counties. 
 
 Company K , Captain Charles W. McCinnis. 
 Recruited principally in Ross County. Some adjoining counties. 
 
 Over three-fourths of these men, had been reared on farms, and were 
 farmers at enlistment. The other one-fourth represented nearly all kinds 
 of useful skilled trades and callings common in the country. Some were 
 railroaders, machinists, miners, students, clerks, salesmen, teachers and pro- 
 fessional men. These latter classes came mostly from small villages, and 
 many of them had been reared on farms. There were practically no men 
 from cities. They were nearly all native born citizens of the United States. 
 The foreign born did not exceed fifty or sixty, and they mostly came to 
 this country when young, with the expectation of becoming permanent 
 citizens. 
 
 The regiment from time to time, during its service received small num- 
 bers of recruits, mostly relatives or friends of men already serving in it. 
 During 1862 several civilians were commissioned in the regiment but did not 
 remain long with it. 
 
 On Novmber 5, 1862, about two hundred and fifty men that had been 
 recruited in a camp at Dayton, Ohio, for a new regiment to be called the 
 112th Ohio Infantry, joined the 63rd Ohio, then in the field between Grand 
 Junction and Holly Springs. Nine of this number brought with them 
 Commissions of different grades to fill vacancies then in the regiment. These 
 recruits of the 112th were mostly from Montgomery county. They were 
 about the same class of men as those from which the regiment had at first 
 been organized. 
 
 On January 1st. 1864, the Sixty-third Ohio, then in camp at Pros- 
 pect, Tennessee, on the Elk river re-enlisted as veterans for three years 
 more. The regiment had the largest per cent of men present to re-enlist 
 of any Ohio regiment in the service. Every eligible member of Company 
 H present re-enlisted. 
 
 Whilst at home on veteran furlough from 15th of January to 15th of 
 February. 1864. a large number of recruits were obtained, and the regiment 
 was again prettv well filled up. These recruits were mostly relatives or 
 neighbors of the old members of the regiment. 
 
 In the spring of 1865, one hundred and ninety-six Ohio drafted men' 
 and substitutes, were assigned to the regiment by order of the War depart- 
 ment and ordered forwarded to it. The regiment being then on the march 
 with Sherman in North Carolina; these assigned men. in order to reach 
 it. were ordered to New York harbor, and detained there for some reason. 
 
410 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 They never reached the regiment, and were mustered out at New York, May 
 15, 1865. They were never taken up on the rolls of the regiment, but a 
 separate roll of them is published in Vol. 5, Roster of Ohio Soldiers. 
 
 LOSSES. 
 
 The aggregate numbers of officers and enlisted men entered upon the 
 muster rolls of the Sixty-third Ohio during its whole term of service is 
 about sixteen hundred. (This does not include drafted men mustered out 
 at New York.) Of the men in the original organization, a few were lost 
 in different ways before the regiment left the state of Ohio. In the field 
 up to September 1, 1862, considerably more men were lost by death and 
 discharged on account of sickness and disability arising from exposure and 
 severe campaigning, than were lost from casualties in battle. By that date 
 the men had become seasoned and inured to the hardships of army life, 
 and the survivors then, were the strongest and most vigorous of the whole 
 regiment. After that date the fighting was more severe and the losses of 
 these men, in the aggregate from killed in battle and discharged on account 
 of wounds received there, about equalled the losses from all other dis- 
 abilities. The new recruits had to go through a similar experience in sea- 
 soning and hardening, and with the same results. 
 
 The two great severe losses of the regiment in battle, were at Corinth 
 October 4th, 1862, and on the Atlanta Campaign of 1864. Men were killed, 
 wounded or missing at a good many other times and places, but it was in 
 small numbers at any one time, and sometimes but a single man was killed, 
 captured or wounded. It lost in its whole service but few as prisoners. It 
 marched and camped in every state in rebellion except Texas and Florida, 
 and it left its dead buried in nearly all, if not all, of these states in which 
 it marched. 
 
 ATLANTIC CAMPAIGN. 
 
 The reports show, that the regiment lost on the Atlanta Campaign 
 one hundred and fifty-eight men. These were nearly all killed or wounded, 
 tor it lust very few as prisoners. This number is undoubtedly consider- 
 ablv less than the reality, for in many cases, men with slight wounds, and 
 some with quite serious injuries, would not go to the hospitals and were 
 not included in the reports of wounded. At one time on this campaign, 
 the regiment was so constantly close up to the enemy, that it had for nine 
 consecutive days, men wounded on every day, by musketry. From May 
 15th to September 2, 1864, it was rarely out of hearing of musketry and 
 artillerv firing. This was a strain and tax on the vitality of the strongest 
 men that few civilians can comprehend. A partly written letter of a rebel 
 soldier to his wife, was found at one time on this campaign in an abandoned 
 camp by a Sixty-third man, in which the Rebel then called it "The battle 
 of May and June." Later mi he might well have called it the hundred days' 
 battle for such it was. 
 
 CORINTH 
 
 In the battle of Corinth. October 3rd and 4th. 1862, the Sixty-third 
 Ohio had but nine companies present. Company D, Capt. John \V. Fouts, 
 was absent on detached duty. On the morning of the third in camp on 
 Tuscumbee river, six miles from Corinth, it reported present 27? men. Of 
 
Sixty-third Ohio Infantry. 411 
 
 these, some were then on special duty, and details of others for camp 
 guards, and other duties were afterward' made, from those reported present, 
 and only 250 men and officers were considered in line of battle when the 
 regiment became actively engaged. On the first day it was marched back 
 and forth in different directions with the division, as from time to time 
 ordered, and kept close to the scene of action, so as to be near where it 
 might be most needed, but did not become actively engaged. 
 
 It was the fortune of the regiment on the second day to occupy a 
 position on open ground that caused it to sustain very heavy loss in killed 
 and wounded from the assaults of the enemy. How these losses were sus- 
 tained, and what was the particular part taken by the Sixty-third Ohio in 
 the fighting around Battery Robinet in the battle of October 4th is well 
 described in Horace Greeley's History of the American Conflict. Vol. 2. 
 page 229. It says in part : 
 
 "The left of the Sixty-third Ohio rested on Battery Robinet. Col. Ful- 
 ler commanding the Brigade, perfectly collected while the enemy was 
 steadily approaching, required his men to lie flat when not engaged, and to 
 wait till the enemy approached close, and then fire coolly." 
 
 "It was at the moment the Texan, Rogers, was flaunting his flag on 
 our parapet that the Sixty-third was ordered to fire. There were only 250 
 of the Sixty-third in the conflict, but their volley was fearful. It is said 
 fifty rebels fell at once. Six volleys were fired and the rebels were gone. 
 The Sixty-third again lay down. Directly the supporting brigade of the 
 rebels advanced. The Sixty-third was ordered to make a half left wheel 
 to sweep the front of the redoubt, and the movement was handsomely 
 executed. Suddenly the enemy appeared. The Sixty-third fired five or six 
 volleys and the rebels rushed upon them. 
 
 A terrific hand to hand combat ensued. It lasted hardly a minute but 
 the carnage was dreadful. Bayonets were used, muskets clubbed and men 
 were felled with brawny fists. Our noble fellows were victors but at 
 sickening cost. Of the 250 of the splendid Sixty-third. 125 lay there on 
 the field wounded, dead, or dying." 
 
 Among the incidents that occurred in that severe contest was this one. 
 Eli J. Casey acting First Sergeant. Company H, whose place in line, was 
 next to the flag and colors of the regiment, carried on the left of Company 
 C, was killed instantly by a gun shot wound in the head. He fell against 
 the regimental colors, and stained them with his blood. These colors were 
 carried to the end of the war, and then all tattered and torn deposited with 
 the flags of other regiments in the State House at Columbus, and to this 
 day ( 1909) this stain is plainly to be seen on them. 
 
 Major General David S. Stanley some years after the war in a pub- 
 lished article on military subjects cited the fighting of the Sixty-third Ohio 
 at Corinth as showing the difference between our armies and those of 
 Europe, where the general rule is that a regiment that has sustained a loss 
 of ten per cent in casualties in battle, must be then considered as wholly out 
 of the fight. 
 
 In Fox's History of regimental losses in the Civil War compiled by 
 him from official records, the Sixty-third is prominently mentioned. 
 
 In list of high percentages killed in a single battle, it is reported as 
 losing 14 per cent killed of those engaged at Corinth. 
 
412 Fuller's < )hio Brigade. 
 
 In list of prominent battles, with statement of regiments sustaining 
 greatest loss in each, it is reported as losing in battle of Corinth \2'> killed 
 and wounded and three missing, being a loss of 48 per cent of all present. 
 I 'age 432. 
 
 In a general list of the dead of a large number of regiments that saw- 
 hard service, he reports the Sixty-third Ohio as losing during its whole 
 term, 93 killed and mortally wounded in battle, and 2<>4 dead from disease, 
 prisons and all other causes, making its dead in the service in all 357. 
 
 This is about 22 l /2 per cent of all the men enrolled, and if allowance 
 is made for the men who never actually served in the field, the per cent of 
 deaths of those who did serve would be still larger. 
 
 MISTER OUT. 
 
 Whilst on the campaign following Hood's Rebel army in its movement 
 west and north of Atlanta, when on Little River near Gaylesville, in pur- 
 suance of instructions from Army Headquarters, by order of Oscar L. Jack- 
 si m. Senior Captain Commanding, the regiment, all the enlisted men who 
 had not re-enlisted as veterans, and whose term of service was about to 
 expire were on 22nd of October, 1864, sent to Chattanooga for muster out. 
 About the same time Chaplain Benjamin St. James Fry. who had served 
 continuously with the regiment from its organization, was given a dis- 
 charge, and he was mustered out by reason of expiration of his three years' 
 term of service. 
 
 Shortly after this, several commissioned officers who did not desire 
 to remuster for the veteran service, were given discharges and mustered 
 out at end of their three years' service or a little later. 
 
 FINAL DISCHARGE. 
 
 After the Grand Review at Washington the Sixty-third < )hio moved 
 by Baltimore & Ohio railroad to Parkersburgh and thence by steamboat to 
 Louisville, Ky. There it remained in camp for over a month. 
 
 By order of General John A. Logan commanding Department and 
 Army of the Tennessee rolls were prepared, and at Louisville. Ky.. on July 
 8, 1865, the formal Muster Out of the regiment was made. 
 
 This muster out embraced 22 Commissioned officers and 537 enlisted 
 men. It did not include the drafted men sent to New York. After this 
 the regiment moved by steamboat to Cincinnati, Ohio, and went to Camp 
 Dennison. On 17th and 18th of July. 1865, the Sixty-third Ohio received 
 at Camp Dennison, Ohio, its final payment, and the officers and men were 
 given their final discharges, and sent to their respective homes. 
 
 COMMANDERS OF THE 63rD OHIO. 
 
 The first two years of its service the Sixty-third was commanded almost 
 the entire time by Brevet-Major General John W. Sprague, the original 
 Colonel. Fie was with it almost continually during that time, was never 
 wounded and but little sick. Fie was made brigadier General 30th of July, 
 18o4. and Brevet-Major General to rank from 13th of March. 1865. 
 
 Brevet-Brigadier General Charles E. Brown, original Captain of Com- 
 pany B, became Lieutenant Colonel, lie was in command of the regiment 
 different times in 1863, first as Senior Captain and afterward when pro- 
 
Sixty-third Ohio Infantry. 413 
 
 moted. He was continuously in command in the Atlanta Campaign of 1864 
 from 10th day of March at Decatur, Ala., up to the time he lost his leg, in 
 battle of 22nd July in front of Atlanta. He was never able to rejoin the 
 regiment again. He was commissioned Colonel of the regiment but not 
 mustered, and was commissioned Brigadier General by Brevet to rank from 
 13th March, 1865, for gallant and meritorious services. 
 
 Major John W. Fonts, original Captain of Company D became Major 
 and he was in command of the regiment as Major the larger part of the 
 time from 22nd July, 1864, when Col. Brown was wounded, until he, Fouts, 
 was mustered out and left the service. The regiment during that time took 
 part in all the operations, marches and movements of that part of the Army 
 to which it belonged. It was a time of active service almost continuously. 
 
 Major Fouts was never wounded in the Army — he was but little sick 
 and was almost continuously able for duty. He did not remuster for veteran 
 service at expiration of three years. 
 
 There were some instances during the four years where Junior Cap- 
 tains commanded the regiment for a short time, when superior officers were 
 temporarily absent or engaged on other duty, but this did not often occur. 
 
 Brevet-Colonel Oscar L. Jackson, original Captain of Company H, 
 commanded the regiment the latter part of its service. He had commanded 
 it temporarily as Senior Captain a number of times from February 1864, 
 on. These embraced, among others, the Campaign in October, 1864, when 
 Hood's Rebel Army moved west of Atlanta and crossed the Chattahoochee 
 River, including the reconnaissance of the division to develop Hood's force, 
 action at Snake Creek Gap, and operations as far as Gaylesville. He com- 
 manded as Senior Captain from Savannah, Georgia, to Beaufort and Poco- 
 taligo. South Carolina. From early in 1863 he was the Senior Captain 
 of the regiment, and was from time to time, by orders from Brigade 
 Headquarters assigned to duty as a Field Officer. 
 
 He was promoted to Major 28 January, 1865, afterward Commissioned 
 Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment, but not mustered. Was commissioned 
 Colonel of U. S. Volunteers by Brevet to rank from 13th March, 1865. He 
 commanded the regiment in all its operations around Goldsborough and 
 Raleigh, North Carolina, expedition from Raleigh to Goldsborough and 
 return for supplies, operations connected with surrender of Johnson's Rebel 
 Army, and the March to Richmond and Washington. He commanded the 
 regiment at the Grand View at Washington, May 24, 1865. conducted it to 
 Louisville. Ky., prepared it for muster out, moved it to Camp Dennison, 
 Ohio, and had charge of its final payment, and the final discharge of the 
 officers and men, and sending them to their homes. 
 
BATTLE OF COLLIERSVILLE, TENNESSEE. 
 
 Extracts from an Address by Captain Ethan O. Hurd, 
 
 Thirty-ninth Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry, 
 
 At a meeting of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, Commandry 
 of Ohio, at Cincinnati. March 7th. 1 ( X)0. 
 
 At the time of the engagement at Colliersville, I was in command of a 
 detachment of the Thirty-ninth Ohio Regiment of Fuller's Ohio Brigade, 
 consisting of my nun Company B and also Company F, both raised in 
 Marietta, in July, 1861. These were the first three years' troops to enlist 
 from Washington county. We were encamped in a beautiful grove a short 
 distance east of the Memphis & Charleston Railroad depot in Memphis. 
 Every morning we sent out a guard of twenty men and one officer and a 
 gunboat car immediately behind the locomotive, who accompanied the 
 train to Grand Junction, where they met the return train from Corinth, 
 Mississippi, and exchanged with the guard who had escorted it thus far. 
 getting back to Memphis in the evening. All baggage going out was 
 searched by an official of the Treasury Department. On the departure of 
 trains, two soldiers stood with bayonets crossed, at the gate leading to the 
 train. Every one who wished to enter had to show a pass, which I had to 
 inspect, and at a nod to the men, they would raise their bayonets and allow 
 the bearer to enter. Part of the duty of my companies was to patrol the 
 streets and act as provost guard. We had the usual trouble with the illicit 
 sale of liquors to soldiers. At one place, we confiscated several barrels of 
 whisky, and emptied it into the gutter. 
 
 Vicksburg had fallen July 4th, fifty-six thousand Confederate soldiers 
 had surrendered. The navigation of the Mississippi was secured. Grant 
 had been called to command the Army of the Cumberland and Sherman 
 was on his way to unite with him. On October 14th, 1863, I had just gone 
 to camp, to dinner, when General J. D. Webster, a superintendent of mili- 
 tary railroads whom we were serving under, and by the way one of the 
 most agreeable officers, sent word that he wanted me at the depot immedi- 
 ately with every available man, not then on duty, armed, and with forty 
 rounds of ammunition apiece. In a very short time, we reported to the 
 general. He told us that General Sherman, who had left on Sunday, the 
 11th with his staff, horses, baggage, and eight companies of the Thirteenth 
 Regular Infantry on one of the heaviest trains that had gone out of Mem- 
 phi-, has been attacked at Collierville by a superior force with artillery, 
 lie had telegraphed to send platform cars, on which to load the artillery, 
 fur which he stood particularly in need, and if we had not that kind of car-. 
 to construct them by cutting the tops off the box cars. We wen- required 
 to accompany this train as a guard with orders to return at the earliest op- 
 portunity. We jumped aboard the cars and at White Station, about nine 
 mile- out, caught up with the rear of Corse's Division and at Germantown 
 with the head of the column. Here we took aboard the Ninety-third 
 
Battle of Colliersville. 415 
 
 Illinois, and three pieces of Captain Cheney's Illinois P>atterv. Orders were 
 given by General Corse to proceed cautiously, as the enemy was known to 
 be between us and Collierville, then only nine miles distant. After going 
 a few miles, skirmishers were thrown out ahead of the train, whom we 
 followed slowly. We picked up two negroes who reported that General 
 Sherman was taken prisoner ; next three citizens, who said the enemy had 
 possession of the place, and were hunting for Sherman and had probably 
 found him. 
 
 Two miles west of Colliersville, we came upon the first obstruction. 
 A large culvert had been burned. The forces disembarked and after dis- 
 tributing extra ammunition to each man, we advanced. We arrived at the 
 place, and found that the rebels had left. At Colliersville I was ordered to 
 report in person to General Sherman and receive his commands relative 
 to my two companies. He said that we knew more about railroads tban 
 his own men, and must first repair the damage to the roads behind us. He 
 requested me with Captain Yorke of his staff, to go first to see what 
 damage was done and report. The way was long and it was growing dark, 
 but we thought we could venture it alone. We found three of the culverts 
 burned and returning reported the facts. Colonel Anthony commanding 
 the post, furnished the detail and with my two companies, we repaired the 
 culverts and by seven o'clock in the morning, bad the road again in running 
 order to Colliersville. General Sherman told us that we had done so well, 
 that he now wished us to go to LaFayette with the construction train and 
 repair the road to that point, after which we might return to Memphis. 
 We mended the telegraph wires where they had been cut, and replaced the 
 rails which the enemy had taken, and at LaFayette, found the road and 
 telegraph in good working order, so that General Sherman could proceed 
 on his way to Corinth. 
 
 The attack at Collierville commenced on the train, just as it had passed 
 the station. The telegraph operator had run out with his gun in one hand 
 and mentioned with the other to the engineer to stop the train. General 
 Sherman was in his car, dozing. He got out of the end of the car, when 
 Colonel Anthony rode up and informed him that his pickets had just been 
 driven in by a large force from the southeast, estimated to number twenty- 
 five hundred, while ours was about six hundred. General Sherman ordered 
 the conductor to have the train backed up to the station. This was no easy 
 task, the train being unusually long and heavy, and the grade backward, 
 up hill, but after a little time, it was accomplished. The enemy cpntinued 
 firing. General Sherman ordered the men to get off the cars and to form 
 on the knoll near the railroad cut. It was a mystery how the men got off 
 the cars and formed a line of battle so quickly. They fought for some time 
 without the fort or earthwork and then retreated inside, where the Sixty- 
 sixth Indiana which garrisoned the post already were. Soon a Confederate 
 officer was observed riding toward us with a white flag. Colonel Anthony 
 and Colonel Dayton were sent to meet him and keep him in conversation. 
 They soon returned and said that it was the Adjutant of General Chalmer's 
 win i demanded the surrender of the place. Sherman instructed his officers 
 to return and give a negative answer, but to delay him. as much as possible. 
 so as to give time for preparation. As soon as the rebel bearer of the flag 
 turned his horse to ride back, the attack was renewed and continued for 
 
416 Fuller's < ) Brig \m , 
 
 some three hours. After three o'clock Lieutenant James, a gallant fellow, 
 who was an ordinance officer on Sherman's staff, armed the orderlies and 
 clerks with muskets which lie had found at the depot. He marched them 
 into the magazines, issued cartridges, and marched hack to the depot, to 
 assist in the defence, and then made a charge upon the enemy and drove 
 them like sheep. They finally disappeared, but Lieutenant James was 
 brought back upon a stretcher badly wounded in the breast. Our men were 
 cool and practiced shots. 
 
 Edward F. Butler a telegraph operator, entirely unsolicited, had fought 
 bravely at the breastworks until disabled by a shot in his arm. The colored 
 servants belonging to the the two regiments, picked up guns and fought like 
 devils. A brakeman cowering in the fort refused to go and fight. Another 
 brakeman, took refuge under a bridge and remained there until the rebels 
 left. The enemy closed down on us several times and got possession of 
 nur trains. With their artillery they knocked to pieces our locomotive 
 and several cars and set fire to them, but we got possession again and ex- 
 tinguished the flames. Colonel Audenreid, Aid-de-camp, lost his valise of 
 nice shirts, which was used to kindle the fire. The enemy succeeded in 
 getting five of our horses, among them General Sherman's favorite mare 
 Dolly. They were obliged to jump them from out of the cars in front ot 
 the fort, all the while under a hot musketry fire. Not long afterward, 
 Sherman's men brought in a fine southern horse which he took for bis n\v 
 use. which the owner came to claim. Sherman gave him an order < 
 General Chalmers, wdio commanded the attacking forces. Chalmers met 
 Sherman after the war and told him that the man had hunted him up in 
 southern Alabama and presented the order. 
 
 The final drawing off of the enemy was attributed largely to the rapid 
 approach of Corse's Division, having marched the whole distance from 
 Memphis, twenty-six miles on the double quick. Among the enemy's killed, 
 was one genuine type of the butternut, dressed in a suit of that color, with 
 sallow- complexion and long beard. One was an old man with his cartridge 
 box on, who was a resident of the neighborhood, and who had received 
 protection from our government only a few days before and had been in 
 the place selling articles to the soldiers. ( >ur loss was fifteen killed and 
 thirty wounded, that of the enemy, about the same. If the enemy had 
 caught General Sherman at Colliersville, many a page of brilliant history 
 would never have been written. His fate for several hours depended upon 
 the outcome of the ficdit. 
 
COLONEL HORACE PARK'S ADDRESS. 
 Headquarters, 43rd O. V. V. I. 
 
 Louisville, Kv., July 13th, 1865. 
 To the Officers and Soldiers of the 43rd Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry: 
 
 Comrades : The cause which we have been maintaining in the field for 
 nearly four years has been successfully vindicated, consequently our duties 
 as soldiers have ceased, and we must now separate. 
 
 In view of the pleasant and happy relations that have existed between 
 us for so long- a time, your commander desires to extend to you a parting 
 word. 
 
 To recount all your deeds of gallantry and heroism from your first 
 campaign in Missouri, to the surrender of the then onlv formidable army o 
 the rebellion at Raleigh, X. C, is not my intention. 
 
 It is enough to say and know that when the tocsin of war was sounded, 
 when the giant arm of treason was raised to strike the fatal blow at the 
 foundation of civil liberty and human enfranchisement, you flew to arms 
 with alacrity and will, and sacrificed all the ease, comfort and happiness of 
 home to assist in saving your country from ruin and disgrace. 
 
 You have faithfully followed her banner and her fortunes through 
 all the changing scenes of a long, bloody and obstinate conflict, and when 
 the dark clouds of adversity hung thick and deep, and threatened you and 
 the cause for which you were fighting, you never faltered, but, by a 
 second enlistment, showed your invincible determination not to quit the 
 service until victory crowned your efforts, and peace with Union, reigned 
 throughout the land. 
 
 By your indomitable courage and endurance, both on the march and 
 on the hard fought field, when many of your brave comrades poured nut 
 their blood and delivered up their souls, you have frequently won the 
 praise of those high in command, and cast the brightest lustre upon your 
 record and upon the State you represented. 
 
 Those, and other considerations and occurrences, have endeared you to 
 all your commanders, and will ever be reverted to with the profoundest 
 feelings of pleasure. 
 
 Nor can our deceased comrades be forgotten. We will ever cherish 
 the memory of our companions in arms who went forth with us, but who 
 succumbed to the power of disease, or who fell bravely fighting for their 
 country. Would that they might have returned with us to their homes, and 
 shared in the final triumph of the Union cause. 
 
 And now that we have assisted in the consummation of the grandest 
 and most glorious victory the annals of history will ever record, now that 
 we have assisted in supplanting the ensign of treason and unfurling the 
 "Star and Stripes" all over the land, now that the government no longer 
 requires our services, and we are so soon to return to our home- am! 
 
418 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 friends to resume the peaceful avocations of life, allow me. with all the 
 warmth and sincerity of a true friend and fellow soldier, to urge you, one 
 and all, to keep untarnished, the bright record you have made in the army. 
 Do not, by word or deed in civil life, dim the bright lustre that attaches to 
 your military career. Your duties as citizens are manifold, and it now 
 becomes your paramount duty to act well your part. 
 
 Our country affords such a variety of soil and climate, such a diversity 
 of trades and professions, that all can find honorable employment. Sbow 
 by your honesty, your industry, and your integrity that you can be good 
 citizens as you have been good soldiers, and all will be well. 
 
 Hoping that "He who rules alike the destinies of men and nations," 
 may grant each and every one of you a long, pleasant and happy life, I bid 
 you adieu. Horace Park, Col. Commanding. 
 
 A SCOUT. 
 
 By J. H. Rhodes, 
 
 Lieutenant-Colonel Forty-third Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. 
 
 Early in March, 1863. the Forty-third and Sixty-third Regiments were 
 ordered from Bolivar, Tennessee, to Corinth, Mississippi, but were stopped 
 at Bethel. From there I was sent with my company (K) of the Forty- 
 third, up the railroad, some six miles to do guard duty and to serve as an 
 outpost. There were quite a number of Union people about us and it was 
 not long before the guerillas got to troubling the neighborhood and us too. 
 I sent men out and collected fifteen or twenty horses and mules on which 
 were mounted as many men, and we started one night with a Mr. Aldrich, 
 a citizen, as guide. About midnight, we halted in a section, where lived a 
 couple of prominent rebels, as our guide told us. Here we obtained supper 
 for ourselves and feed for our horses and mules. I divided our forces into 
 two squads, Lieutenant Lybarger went with one, and I with the other. An 
 old man, his wife and two grown up daughters, constituted the family, 
 where my squad stopped. We never found any able-bodied men at home 
 among the rebels. I made known our desires to the old man about supper. 
 1 insisted that we were there to protect them and all loyal people from the 
 rebels, and that they could not do less than feed us. 
 
 With men and horses all fed, we joined our forces and continued our 
 pursuit until just at daylight we came up to and surrounded a house where 
 were supposed to be some of the fellows we were after. But they had 
 made their escape. We had proceeded but a short distance further when 
 the advance guard under Lybarger suddenly came upon two mounted men 
 dressed in citizens clothes. They were attempting to cross the road into 
 the woods, and on my coming up, with the main force, they informed me 
 
Company K Scoi r. 419 
 
 that they live in old "Kaintuck" and were just on their way to visit an old 
 uncle down in "Alaham," and begged to be permitted to continue their 
 journey. I informed them they must go with us and placing them on two 
 of our horses, less ileet than theirs and under guard, Lybarger and I 
 mounted theirs. We returned and delivered our captures to the proper 
 authorities at Hrigade headquarters. Three days later, I was requested to 
 meet the train going north. Two men appeared in th a door at the rear end 
 of an old passenger coach whom I recognized as the men we had captured. 
 They were handcuffed to each other and under guard. After greeting me 
 they said they wanted to thank me for my courteous treatment of them, 
 while in my custody and to inform me that they were on their way north 
 to Johnson's Island, from which I concluded that they had been found to 
 be rebel officers. 
 
 Later, Lybarger and myself were promoted, he to Quartermaster and 
 I to Lieutenant-Colonel and both were entitled to be mounted. Applying 
 to the Quartermaster Department, we drew these same captured horses and 
 we rode them through to the end. 
 
 BRAVE ACTS UNREWARDED. TWO MEMBERS OF THE OHIO 
 BRIGADE WHO DESERVED MEDALS OF HONOR. 
 
 By Captain W. H. H. Minturn of the Thirty-ninth Ohio Veteran 
 Volunteer Infantry Regiment. 
 
 What I here state, I refer for corroboration to the certificates of Major - 
 General G. M. Dodge, Major-General David S. Stanley and Brigadier- 
 General Mendall Churchill, three gallant leaders in the war of the rebellion, 
 and also to the certificates of Captain M. F. Madigan, and Sergeant George 
 Small of Company G of the Twenty-seventh Ohio Infantry, on file in the 
 war department. I wish to mention the heroism displayed bv two brilliant 
 young officers. 
 
 During the battle of Corinth, October 4th, 1862, when the Confederates 
 in four columns were pressing hard upon the Ohio Brigade, a Confederate 
 Regiment bore down upon the Twenty-seventh Ohio. A Confederate color 
 bearer went down with his colors. The Union soldier who siezed the flag 
 was shot by a Confederate officer who then shouted to his men to save the 
 colors. It was then that the brave and daring Sergeant (now Major) 
 Charles H. Smith, of Company G of the Twenty-seventh Ohio, rushed for- 
 ward in advance of his company, and with his musket, compelled the sur- 
 render of the Confederate officer as he was in the act of shooting the 
 wounded Union soldier the second time. I know the gallantry of Major 
 Smith saved the life of the Union soldier. He brought the officer to the 
 
420 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 rear, a prisoner, and saved from recapture the flag which today hangs in 
 the relic room of Ohio's Capitol. No medal was granted for this gallant act. 
 Captain Frank Gilmore of Company A of the Sixty-third Ohio, when 
 the dreadful fire of the oncoming Confederates had torn and separated the 
 Sixty-third Ohio into fragments, gathered all the remaining soldiers near 
 him, joined them into the Twenty-seventh Ohio, between the regiment and 
 the Eleventh Missouri. When General Stanley ordered an advance, he led 
 them into the bloody fray, thus displaying bravery unsurpassed on any field. 
 No medal of honor was granted for this gallant act, but the thrill of ecstasy 
 which victory brings, filled the heart of every surviving soldier and was 
 intensified by the act of General Rosecrans who immediately rode up and 
 said, "I thank the Ohio Brigade in our country's name for its great valor." 
 
 THE PASSAGE OF THE SALKAHATCHIE RIVER AND THE 
 
 EDISTO RIVERS. 
 
 By Captain George M. Wise, Forty-third Ohio I 'derail Vol. Infantry. 
 
 On February 1st, the First Division marched through Whippy Swamp 
 and on the 2nd were in position before Rivers Bridge, at a point where the 
 road turns at right angles to the west, across the lowlands on the south- 
 west side of the river. There were eleven bridges or more, besides one 
 over the main channel of the river. The rebels had removed the planks 
 from the bridges, making them impassible. On the opposite side, a rebel 
 brigade of Hampton's Cavalry in General Hardee's Command held the high 
 ground with one of their batteries in position, and infilading the road. The 
 Forty-third Ohio crossed to the right of the causeway and its defences. 
 Here, just as the regiment was starting under the personal direction of 
 General Mower, Colonel Swayne had his leg blown off by a piece of shell. 
 The regiment crossed the road on the run, and waded out toward the main 
 stream of the river, everywhere from two to four feet deep, where we 
 remained several hours and into the night, waiting for orders, under fire of 
 the enemy. When we crossed over, we were thoroughly chilled and angry. 
 
 The next day six companies of the Forty-third Ohio charged down 
 the causeway to drive the enemy from the other side of the river, the other 
 four companies carrying boards and planks succeeded in planking half the 
 bridges. The enemy reserved their fire during this foolhardy performance 
 and as soon as the Forty-third Ohio appeared on the causeway, they 
 opened with artillery and musketry fire upon us. The regiment at once 
 deployed to the right and left of the causeway and moved up as close as 
 possible to the enemy and engaged him. 
 
 The Sixty-third ( Ihio followed the Forty-third Ohio and had the same' 
 kind of reception, while protecting themselves behind trees and firing rapidly 
 at the enerm in the works. In the meantime, the First Brigade of the First 
 
Passage of the Salkahatchie and Edisto. 421 
 
 Division of which the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Ohio were a part, 
 found means to cross the river above us and charged the enemy's flank, who 
 then hurriedly retreated. We had nineteen killed and wounded. 
 
 On the 12th, the First Division advanced to the South Edisto River, 
 a stream that runs for miles through lowlands. At this time, it was over- 
 flowing its banks. Across the stream was a country more open. Up to 
 this point, a small force could easily .oppose us. Now we could brush aside 
 without halting our columns any force the enemy had in our front. 
 
 The weather turned cold and the ground froze hard. Pontoons were 
 laid, and at dark, the Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio in advance, the men 
 with their cartridge boxes hung around their necks, marched off the pon- 
 toon into the icy water waist deep, and for hours struggled onward among 
 the briars, vines and cypress knees, finally coming out into an open field 
 in the rear and to the left of the rebel position, with their clothes frozen. 
 In a moment the lines were formed and with wild screams, like those of 
 desperate men freezing to death, they went straight for the rebel camp fires, 
 and the supper which the enemy had left in their retreat. This was by far 
 the severest experience in rain and swamp during over four years' service. 
 Terrible as these hardships were, I did not know its historic importance 
 until after the war, nor how throughly alarmed the rebel government was 
 when it was revealed to them that Sherman's Army had crossed the Salke- 
 hatchie and Edisto Rivers. 
 
 At this juncture. General Joseph E. Johnston was called to command 
 the rebel force. My information came from General J. D. Cox, afterward 
 Governor of Ohio, who told me that Johnston had stated to him that from 
 this time, he had no hope of stopping Sherman's onward march or for the 
 further existence of the Confederacy itself. Still the Confederate Govern- 
 ment felt sure that a hostile army could not move through the Carolinas, 
 in the winter season, and believed that Sherman was aiming at Charleston 
 or Augusta. Johnston, however, felt sure that Sherman was playing a far 
 larger game, that he meant to move through the heart of the country, 
 destroying its war resources utterly, and join General Grant, for a final 
 campaign against Lee. 
 
 Johnston was so impressed with the importance of this movement that 
 he twice telegraphed Hardee to hold the line of the South Edisto at all 
 hazards and to make great sacrifice if necessary, in order to hold Sherman 
 back. Hardee answered that only the heads of Sherman's columns were 
 up and that he had not enough pontoons to span the river which was out 
 of its bank> and had covered the land. 
 
 Pefore the campaign commenced, the Forty-third and Sixty-third Ohio 
 had been constituted the Provost Brigade, Army of the Tennessee, under 
 command of Colonel Horace Park, to take charge of and constitute the 
 military government of captured cities. The onerous duty was performed 
 at Columbia and Cheraw, South Carolina, and at Louisville. Kentucky. At 
 Columbia, we succeeded Stone's P>rigade of the Fifteenth Corps, in charge 
 of the city, increased by the addition of the Twenty-fifth Wisconsin and 
 Thirty-fifth New Jersey Regiments. YVe cleared the streets of stragglers 
 and pillagers and remained till the army had gone. The provost brigade 
 worked faithfully to stop the fire and helped frightened women and children 
 to places of safety, with their effects which they were trying to save. 
 
INCIDENTS OF THE LAST DAYS OF THE WAR 
 
 By Erastus S. Moorehead, Sergeant of Company K, Twenty-seventh 
 Ohio Regiment, Veteran Volunteers, Infantry. 
 
 I served four years as a soldier in the Twenty-seventh ( )hio Regiment 
 during the war for the preservation of the Union. The last campaign 
 made by our First Division, Seventeenth Army Corps, was through southern 
 Georgia and the eastern portions of the Carolina*, during the months of 
 January, February and March, 1865. 
 
 The army had left its base of supplies. We were constantly under 
 arms, fighting against an enterprising and determined enemy, who con- 
 stantly hovered at our front. During this period, the conditions were such 
 that there was no opportunity or possibility of securing a change of cloth- 
 ing. It was the season of much rain ; the water from the rivers had over- 
 flowed that low, swampy country, and often after having our clothing soaked 
 by the rain, or from wading in the water, we laid down to sleep at night, 
 upon the damp ground. The weather continued rainy and foggy and the 
 days dark and dismal, during our movements as far north as Cheraw, South 
 Carolina, and beyond. Army rations of hard bread and bacon were gone, 
 and corn meal and beef was issued to us. 
 
 Our Regiment built a strong line of works nearly every day, for 
 experience had taught us to be always ready for emergencies. In our for- 
 ward movement, we drove the enemy across the Pee Dee River and saw 
 their wagon trains in full view, winding around the hills in retreat. We 
 were about to rest from these days of fatigue, when I was ordered with a 
 detail of thirty-five men, to report to the Captain of the Third Michigan 
 Artillery and take charge of two twenty-pound cannon. Not one of this 
 detail had ever fired a cannon. We soon got the guns in position, but alas! 
 on that same day at eight o'clock in the afternoon, our hopes for better 
 days and for easier service were blasted. We even lost the opportunity for 
 blowing up the Confederacy with these twenty pounders, for we were 
 ordered to join our regiment. Only a veteran can appreciate the difficulties 
 encountered, while tramping through camps and columns of soldiers on 
 the march, during a dark night, to find one's command. 
 
 At the battle of Bentonville, March 21st, 1865, several incidents of 
 interest occurred. While marching forward in line of battle, during an 
 ominous silence, birds darted, swift-winged, through the air, rabbits and 
 other wild animals ran toward us, a frightened deer hounded at full speed 
 over the heads of the line of men. This was an evidence and a warning 
 of the approach of the enemy, and our men lay down. Our skirmishers 
 were soon driven in. One of them was overtaken, in front of my company 
 and a^ he was surrendering. I raised up on my knee, took deliberate aim, 
 and fired. ( )ur man escaped and came in. The rebel cavalry man fell. We 
 had just received cautionary orders from Captain Charles II. Smith, not 
 to fire until the enemy came nearer, then to surprise them with a volley, 
 and charge, but he gave me much credit for saving our man. 
 
The Last Days of the War. 423 
 
 The enemy's cavalry finally got in our rear and during the firing, my 
 knapsack was struck by a minnie ball, with such force that it penetrated 
 eighteen folds of my army blanket, went through my letter paper, lodged 
 close to my spinal column, and nearly knocked me down, causing me to 
 think for the moment that I was hurt. When General Sherman's order 
 came, for the Division to fall back, to connect with a new line of battle, 
 General Fuller was loath to give it and sent Captain Smith along the line 
 with other officers to see that every man kept his place and fell back in 
 good order. To delay the movement as much as possible. Captain Smith 
 moved Companies B. G. and K. to the left and was joined by Sergeant 
 Stucky, with the Twenty-seventh Regimental flag, then with the Thirty- 
 ninth Ohio, under Colonel Weber, stood firing, presenting a bold front until 
 the enemy had ceased firing and had disappeared. 
 
 In many respects, these were the most thrillingly eventful days of our 
 entire service, full of hardships, and vicissitudes which tried the endurance 
 of men to the utmost. I often wonder how these men who suffered almost 
 the pains of death, can be living forty-four years after these experiences. 
 We, who survived these perils, should thank God for our preservation. 
 
 THE TWENTY-SEVENTH VETERAN YOLCNTEER INFANTRY 
 
 AND ITS MEN. 
 
 By Philip R. Harpel, Company G. 
 
 The Twenty-seventh Ohio Infantry and the Thirty-ninth Ohio Infantry, 
 universally known as the twin regiments, occupied important positions and 
 were successful in over one hundred battles and skirmishes during four 
 years of service in the Civil War. 
 
 Their marches during several long campaigns averaged over twenty, 
 frequently thirty-five, and once in the state of Missouri, from Greenfield, to 
 Springeld and again from its camp near the Roanoke River, Virginia, a dis- 
 tance of forty-five miles in one day. The total march on foot, in ten south- 
 ern states, was fifty-five hundred miles, a record not surpassed by any in- 
 fantry. Their accomplishments and high standing were due largely to the 
 discipline and thorough preparation of their men. 
 
 The Twenty-seventh Regiment at its organization received the benefit 
 of the practical military knowledge of a number of its members, who had 
 just returned from a three months' service. 
 
 Its first Colonel (afterward General) John W. Fuller, was prominent 
 in military affairs in his young manhood and when he took command, he 
 was fresh from the West Virginia campaign. He was a man of honor and 
 a fervent patriot and in his judgment, clear and concise. Few commanders 
 possessed a deeper knowledge of the details of the army. He showed the 
 highest type of the American Volunteer, the soldier and the leader. On 
 
4J4 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 mi occasion did he fail or blunder, lie left his stamp <>n the entire brigade 
 
 and gave it a name and a fame. His soldiers were devoted to him and at 
 all times rallied instantly at his call. They followed him in the midst of 
 the conflict at Atlanta, when so bravely he carried the Twenty-seventh 
 regiment flag' to the front in the last charge which drove the enemy to final 
 defeat. 
 
 < Hir next commander Z. S. Spaulding, was also in the previous three 
 months' service with the "crack" Seventh Xew York Infantry. He was a 
 thorough disciplinarian and a man of undoubted courage. 
 
 Colonel Churchill gave to the regiment his administrative ability 
 derived from his long experience as a manager of business affairs. He 
 commanded with intelligence and firmness, he was always carefnl, never 
 hasty nor harsh, but with sound judgment, making a most excellent officer. 
 
 Rev. John Eaton, Jr., Chaplain of the Regiment was a man of unusual 
 ability and kindness of heart and was at all times most earnestly devoted 
 to the interest and welfare of the men. He entered the service August 
 1(>, 1861. He was given charge of the abandoned cotton lands and the 
 freedmen of Northern Mississippi by the United States Government. 
 November 1862. He was appointed Colonel of the Sixty-third United States 
 colored troops October 10th, 1863 and was breveted Brigadier-General 
 March 13th, 1865. He settled in Tennessee after the war and became 
 editor of the Memphis Post, a Republican Journal, and rose to be a leader 
 of his party. He was elected Superintendent of Public Education in 1866. 
 
 The surgeons of the Twenty-seventh were exceptionally distinguished 
 and rendered important professional service. Surgeon \Y. R. Thrall had 
 die great honor of serving as a staff officer in the Russian Army during 
 the Crimean War under Emperor Alexander Second. 
 
 The Captains of Companies were generally men capable and worthy 
 of the positions. Captain James Morgan commanded during the March 
 to the Sea and Major J. N. Gilrath through the Carolinas, Major Charles 
 1 1. Smith having temporary command of the regiment. This officer brought 
 to the Twenty-seventh Ohio the experience of his previous three months' 
 drill and training as a Zouave in the Seventh ( )hio Regiment. By his 
 experience, intrepid courage, keen judgment and foresight in the discharge 
 of every duty that fell to him as a soldier, he won many laurels for the 
 regiment. He brought to it that strong enthusiasm which has been the 
 characteristic of his life. In the confusion of battle, at a vital moment, he 
 did not wait for orders but from the heart of this true American soldier 
 came the quick command. This was shown when he was Orderly Sergeant 
 of Company G, at the battle of Corinth, Mississippi. Every officer in his 
 company had been shot down. He assumed command and boldly led his 
 men into the midst of the Ninth Texas Regiment Color Guard ami into the 
 very jaws of death. In the desperate encounter that followed, under cir- 
 cumstances of daring, danger and exposure, such as rarely and perhaps has 
 never fallen to the lot of any single company of men. there fell around the 
 captured (lag eleven men of Company G. the enemy's dead and wounded 
 mingled with them. 
 
 Again on the field of Atlanta. Georgia, as a Lieutenant, be led Com- 
 pany A's skirmish line across the field under a heavy fire of musketry and 
 engaged and held the enemy at the edge of a thick woods. He saw the 
 
The 27th V. V. I. and Its Men. 425 
 
 enemy's position; they were massing in lines to charge. He knew the 
 necessity of immediate action, without which they would overwhelm the 
 Ohio Brigade, that the Brigade must strike before the enemy completed his 
 heavy formation. Quickly the skirmishers regained the regiment and then 
 like a hero he ran along the line of troops shouting the charge. Instantly 
 the men sprang to their feet, there was a click of muskets, and with the 
 greatest gallantry and wild shouts they moved forward to the charge and 
 drove the enemy from the field. 
 
 General Churchill commenting on his action said, "The charge was not 
 made a moment too soon, and no doubt, it was that which saved us from 
 defeat, securing to the Union cause a glory that can never fade." 
 
 The Twenty-seventh Ohio was commended for its bravery in action 
 on several occasions.. At Corinth by General Rosecrans, who said, in the 
 presence of the Brigade: "I saw the Twenty-seventh Ohio chasing the 
 enemy with the bayonet." And to the Brigade he said: "I raise my hat in 
 the presence of men as brave as those who surrounded me, the prisoners yon 
 have captured and the dead and wounded at my feet are evidences of your 
 bravery." The gallant conduct of the Twenty-seventh Ohio elicited from 
 him special honorable mention in his official report to General Grant. 
 
 General Dodge says of the Twenty-seventh Ohio at Kenesaw .Moun- 
 tain : "See how well those brave fellows hold that dangerous position." 
 General McPherson said of them at Xick-o-jack. "None but the best troops 
 could have succeeded in that assault." 
 
 The Regiment had on its rolls 1.45'' men. One man in every twenty- 
 five was killed in battle. ( hie man out of every thirteen died in the hos- 
 pital from wounds or disease. The total mortality was one out of every 
 eight and three-fourths of the enlisted number. It furnished three Gener- 
 als, three Colonels, seven Lieutenant-Colonels, seven Majors, three Sur- 
 geons, four Assistant Surgeons, one Chaplain, forty-two Captains, fifty- 
 eight First Lieutenants, thirty-seven Second-Lieutenants. Of the thirty- 
 seven officers who left Ohio at its organization, only two remained on the 
 rolls at muster out of the Regiment in Tulv, 1865. 
 
 SERGEANT J. J. GRUBER. 
 
 Company G, Forty-third Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry, relating an 
 incident at Rivers Bridge, South Carolina, February <jth, 1S65. 
 
 Just after the capture of Savannah, Georgia, the Ohio Brigade entered 
 on the campaign through the Carolina-. At Rivers Bridge over the Salke- 
 hatchie Swamps, South Carolina. General Wade Hampton's forces of Con- 
 federates were fortified. To dislodge them, Companies A. G. and I), oi 
 the Forty-third Ohio were ordered to fix bayonet- and charge down the 
 roadway in platoons of four, while four companies, preceding, should cany 
 planks to bridge the river. 
 
426 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 The charging column was successful in gaining the bank of the river, 
 but the planks for the crossing, never came up. The enemy's cannon in 
 our front scattered the men who were carrying the planks. The loss of our 
 men was very heavy in killed and wounded. 
 
 In gaining the banks of the river, a continual fire was kept up by us at 
 the works which had been thrown up and at the field battery of the Con- 
 federates. While this assault was going on, our men made a successful 
 crossing about one mile below. While I was on the firing line, my canteen 
 was full of water, corked tight, and swinging in front of me. A minnie 
 ball struck the canteen in about the center of it, and knocked me down. I 
 soon got to my feet and after a careful survey, found myself unharmed. 
 My canteen however was badly damaged, as the force of the ball burst it 
 wide open at the seam. The ball, which I have in my possession today, 
 dropped to my feet. 
 
 This was the closest call I ever experienced as a soldier during my 
 three years and nine months active service. 
 
 THE IRON NERVE OF A SOLDIER. 
 
 By H. C. Evans, Company C, TvOenty-seventh Ohio Veteran Volunteer 
 
 Infantry Regiment, 
 
 In the charge at Ruff's Mills, Georgia, in which the Twenty-seventh 
 Ohio participated, I was wounded and while lying under a tent fly, await- 
 ing attention from the surgeons, I saw under the same fly an improvised 
 Surgeon's table and on this table was a man who had been shot through the 
 leg. He was a member of Company B of the same Regiment. The wound- 
 ed soldier who was a German, refused to take an anasthetic and the doctors 
 and soldiers who were attending him were compelled to continually pusn 
 his body back on the table, as he attempted to rise, evidently to see what 
 the surgeons were doing. After the operation was completed and the 
 stump was tied up. the wounded man, who. as it happened, had been for- 
 merlv a cooper, sat up on the table, threw his legs over the side and jumped 
 off, alighting on his one good leg. Swinging the other, he exclaimed, "I'y 
 Golly, I can make parrels yet." 
 
 This happening impressed itself vividly on my mind, but 1 did not see 
 him again until thirty-four years after the war at which time I was driving 
 down Naghten Street in the city of Columbus, when I saw a peg legged 
 soldier plodding along the sidewalk going in the same direction. I drove 
 to the curb and and took the old soldier in to give him a lift. Tapping the 
 wooden peg leg as the soldier sat on the seat beside me I asked, "Where 
 did you lose your good leg?" "At Ruff's Mills. Georgia, July 4th. 1864," 
 was the answer. I looked him in the face a moment and recognized the 
 wounded soldier. It was George Evercourt that I had seen jump off the 
 table under the fly tent, not deploring the loss of his leg, but exulting that 
 he was still able to make barrels and 1 said to him. "Well, 1 saw the sur- 
 -eon cut it off." George Evercourt of Company I'. died March 20th, 1908. 
 
A TRIP WITH PRISONERS. 
 
 By Charles I. Adkins, Company K, Twenty-seventh Ohio Veteran 
 
 I 'olunteer Infantry. 
 
 During the summer of 1863. while Fuller's Ohio Brigade was camped 
 near Memphis, Tennessee, Captain William Feeney received orders to 
 report with his company ( K ) of the Twenty-seventh Ohio, at the river 
 front, there to take charge of and guard a boat load of Confederate prison- 
 ers, who were being transported from the lower Mississippi to a northern 
 prison. There were several hundred among whom were about twelve or 
 fifteen commissioned officers. 
 
 This being the unhealthy season of the year, much sickness prevailed 
 among the prisoners, and a score or more died before reaching their desti- 
 nation. Surgeon James Sprague of the Twenty-seventh Ohio, had charge 
 of the sick, and the writer of this article was detailed to assist the doctor 
 in the performance of his professional duties. The boat upon which the 
 prisoners were being conveyed, was a large "side wheeler," and the men 
 both sick and well were scattered, fore and aft, on all of the three decks. 
 Some were in the hull of the vessel and a more despondent and unsympa- 
 thetic gathering of men would have been difficult to find. If sick call had 
 been made in the usual manner, namely, by the sound of drum or bugle : 
 "Come get your quinine, come get your quinine!" I doubt if any would 
 have responded, therefore, the sick were sought out in the following 
 manner : 
 
 Doctor: "Well, young man, what is your name?" 
 
 "Tom Price." 
 
 "What seems to be the matter with you?" 
 
 "I don' gis know, but got diaru an ager anyhow." 
 
 "How long have you been having diarrhea and ague?" 
 
 "I don' ges know, but ever sin' sometime 'fore ye all took Vigsburg." 
 
 After looking at the patient's tongue and feeling his pulse, the doctor 
 would say in his kindly way, "Now, young man, you take the medicine that 
 I send you and I think that in a few days you will feel all right." And the 
 man would say, "Thank you, Doctor, much urbleege." 
 
 Another case was that of John Jones an Arkansas Volunteer, who told 
 the doctor that he had been troubled with "disinter and Yaller janders" 
 ever since General Price made "der Yanks srender at Lexington" (Sep- 
 tember 19th, 1861) and so on in about the same manner through a long 
 list of sick that was visited daily during the several days' trip, each day 
 finding the patient if alive, no better and the medicine untouched. When the 
 doctor would ask why the medicine had not been taken, the reply in most 
 cases was, "I had no wata, and no one would get me un. T don' ker nohow, 
 I'd zleve die as live, ye all gwine ter put us in dem air northun prisons, 
 whare weuns all starve to death anyhow." 
 
 The despondency and indifference manifested by these army com- 
 rades was not wholly without cause. While it may be true that available 
 
428 Fuller's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 comforts for sick men were somewhat wanting, I am sorry to say that a 
 disposition, by those in authority to make use of comforts for the sick that 
 were at hand, was probably Mill more wanting. There were about fifty or 
 sixty double bunk state rooms with soft mattresses, all of which were empty 
 save those that were occupied by about seventeen commissioned officer--. 
 There was enough good wholesome food gathered from the cabin tables 
 after each meal and thrown overboard to have supplied all the sick with 
 palatable diet, all of which could have been had for the asking. Hut the 
 reader may ask, why did not the writer ask? The writer did ask and re- 
 ceived in proportion to his authority. 
 
 While it was true that these officers were prisoners of war and had no 
 official power, yet there is an unwritten law in the will of all persons who 
 are high in rank or position, the power of which carries an influence that 
 ofttimes dominates the actions of those who are higher in authority but 
 lower in rank, and that too without the latter making any sacrifice in 
 either their legal or moral duty. 
 
 In order to insure the geater safety from the attack of guerilla bands 
 that might be prowling the river banks, it was ordered while making the 
 north bound trip that the boat tie up during the darkest part of the night. 
 It was during these nocturnal stops that we embraced the opportunity i if 
 interring the deceased in unmarked graves along the shores of the great 
 "Father of Waters." 
 
 ( )n reaching St. Louis, ambulances were soon on the wharf with at- 
 tendants and paraphernalia to care for the sick and to convey them to hos- 
 pitals in the city. As the weak and feeble men were carefully borne ashore 
 on comfortable hand bars. I found that a greater tie of sympathy existed 
 between "Johnny" and "Yank" than I had hitherto realized. As I assisted 
 a seventeen year old boy to his place in the ambulance. I gave him a one 
 dollar hand shake in evidence of my sympathy, with words to suit the act. 
 
 After continuing our journey about twenty-five miles farther up the 
 river, we landed and disembarked all well Confederate-, rank and file, turn- 
 ing the same over to the custody of the warden of the military prison at 
 Alton. Illinois. After this we returned to St. Louis where our company 
 was assigned to quarters in the Schofield barracks, and where we remained 
 for several days, waiting our return transportation. 
 
 During our stay in St. Louis, I sought the opportunity of visiting the 
 hospital, to which our sick had been taken and in so doing I was much 
 gratified in finding that they had fallen in kind hands, and comfortable 
 quarters. That visit left a pleasant and lasting impression on my mind. I 
 well remember as 1 slowly walked down the long aisle of one ward, looking 
 to the right and left in searcli of faces that I might recognize, a boy's voice 
 called out, "Hello Doctah, wha yer gwine?" Almost simultaneously with 
 the first, a half dozen other voices greeted me in like manner. While the 
 voices seemed quite familiar, the faces of the patients, were apparently 
 Strange. They had undergone the regular hospital transformation since I 
 had last seen them at the steamboat landing, for they were washed, shaved 
 and dressed in clean clothing, all of which makes a marked difference in 
 the appearance of a soldier who is fresh from the front. They seemed to 
 be surrounded with almost every need of a sick person, besides their com 
 fortable cots, stood small tables on which were mam of the delicious fruits 
 
A Trip with Prisoners. 429 
 
 of the season and other delicacies. Several ladies were sitting by their bed- 
 sides, reading and writing letters for the patients. Others came in with 
 well-filled baskets passing through the wards, placing a peach here, a pear 
 there, a bunch of grapes yonder, and so on, replenishing the tables wherever 
 it was needed. 
 
 As I write this story I recall that we may have met some of these men 
 on battle fields before or perhaps after this date, but now we are friends 
 in need, humanity had asserted itself, the golden rule was being exemplified, 
 a commendable act, for a still higher and nobler civilization was keenly ap- 
 parent. "War is not all hell after all." Thank God! 
 
 Our absence from our regiment was about two weeks and the return 
 trip to the "Gem City of the South" was by river steamer. 
 
 CAPTURING THE FLAG. 
 
 Orrin B. Gould's Story of the Flag Captured at Corinth, Mississippi, 
 
 October 4th, 1862. 
 
 After the war Private Orrin B. Gould told to members of his com- 
 pany the following story : — 
 
 After the battle had opened in our front by the charge of the Con- 
 federates upon the lines of our brigade at Robinett, and our fire had sub- 
 dued them so that some were hiding and firing from behind the logs and 
 stumps, and others creeping up in our front, they began to rally again and 
 we saw their flag advance. Our Captain and Second Lieutenant \\ ere 
 slightly wounded and had gone to the rear. First Lieutenant Webb had 
 been shot dead. The command of the company devolved upon Orderly Ser- 
 geant Smith whom I heard shout, "Forward! men. let's capture that flag." 
 We all rushed forward together, Thomas, Madigan, Small, Radway, Bur- 
 net, Statten, Harpel, Fullerton, Jenkins, Willson, Brunner, Snider and 
 others. It is supposed that Corporal Cheek shot the Color-bearer who fell, 
 his face upon the colors, struck with a shot in the head. He raised himself 
 upon his elbow, and looked up in my face. He was bleeding on the flag. 
 The colors were spread out and I picked them up quickly with my right 
 hand, holding my musket in my left hand. Part of the rebels broke and 
 ran. The officer who shot me yelled to his men to save the colors and 
 levelled his pistol to shoot again, when I saw Sergeant Smith run at him 
 with his musket, capture him and conduct him to the rear. I carried the 
 flag to Major Spaulding on the flagstaff and he tore it off and handed it 
 to General Fuller. Many of our men were sin it in the encounter. Some 
 of the prisoners were brought in at the same time. 
 
 The bullet in my body went in at the right breast, struck the breast 
 bone, glanced up and went through the right lobe of the lung, and lodged 
 near the spine and right shoulder blade. The doctors after probing for 
 it, said they never could reach and extract it anil they thought I could m >t 
 live. In the operation, they cut out two ribs. The bullet must have been 
 fired from a large Navy revolver, judging from the size of the wound. 
 
 (Gould was made a Captain. He died with the bullet in his body at 
 Cleveland, Ohio, September. 1892.)

 WHAT A DRUMMER BOY SAW DURING A STRENUOUS DAY 
 AT CORINTH, MISS., OCTOBER 4th. 1862. 
 
 By David Auld, Co. B, 43rd 0. V. J'. I. 
 
 The drummer boy was one of the essentials in the general make-up 
 of the army and his duties were many and arduous. It was not only the 
 sounding of reveille, taps and the numerous other calls, but also the sound- 
 ing of the long roll often at the midnight hour, awakening the slumbering 
 troops to do battle with the enemy. When in camp the drummer boys were 
 used as orderlies for the commanding officers ; when in an engagement 
 they were always found on the battlefield looking after and caring for the 
 wounded and assisting in carrying them from the field of battle, which 
 many times placed them in the most hazardous positions. 
 
 As one of these, my duties called me to all parts of the field in and 
 about Battery Robinet, the highest point of ground on the entire battlefield 
 being located about six hundred yards northwest of the railroad depot, 
 from which the Mobile & Ohio R. R. ran north and south, and the Memphis 
 & Charleston R. R. ran northwest, the Chewalla Wagon road just passing 
 Robinett being the central point of attack by the enemy, (see map). I will 
 
What a Drummer Boy Saw. 431 
 
 confine my narrative to what occurred on that part of the line of battle 
 held that day by the 43rd Ohio Infantry, (the extreme left regiment en- 
 gaged). 
 
 At 10:00 A. M. the regiment lay in line of battle, the right resting 
 directly in the rear of the right embankment of Battery Robinett, and about 
 twenty yards from the ditch. The regiment faced directly west, the left 
 resting near the M. & C. R. R. cut and almost in line with the west face 
 of Battery Williams. Just before daylight the Confederates opened a 
 destructive fire on our position from three batteries (fourteen guns) which 
 they planted during the night within 200 or 300 yards, and directly on the 
 regimental right flank, enfilading our line with shrapnell and canister until 
 silenced by Batteries Robinett, Williams and others about daylight. From 
 this time until about 11:00 A. M. a very searching flank fire was poured 
 into our line by sharpshooters concealed in brush, fallen timber and trees 
 at the edge of the woods. Soon after 10:00 A. M. great columns of Con- 
 federates poured from the woods north of our position with arms at right 
 shoulder, their tattered banners unfurled, and spread out in vast lines of 
 battle over the plain north of the town of Corinth, sweeping all before 
 them into the town, but were cut to pieces and driven out later. No battle 
 scene in modern times, not even Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, could sur- 
 pass the picture that unfolded to our vision. Looking almost directly to 
 the rear of our regimental line we could see every man engaged in both 
 armies at that time. 
 
 While watching these battle lines so grand to look upon, but so ter- 
 rible to think of when you remember the frightful waste of human lives 
 they caused, the call came; "Bring the stretchers, a man hurt." Mvself 
 and Demas took the stretchers to look for the man, he was pointed out to 
 us and proved to be Bradford (our older brother) who had been struck 
 by a shell in the left shoulder while lying on the ground in line waiting for 
 the first assault just opening. By his side lay James W. Conger, whose 
 clothing was stained by his blood. We were little more than children and 
 the shock to us can be better imagined than described. Demas and myself 
 lifted him to the stretcher just as Col. Kirby Smith and Adjutant Heyl were 
 shot from their horses a few steps away We carried him to the shallow 
 ditch by the railroad a few rods to the rear, where the temporarv field 
 hospital was located, as it offered a slight protection to the wounded from 
 the deadly hail of bullets that fell about them coming from all directions 
 except the rear We then placed him in an ambulance still alive and con- 
 scious. We bid him goodbye and never saw him again. He only lived a 
 short time and occupies an unknown grave. 
 
 The 30 pound parrott guns and others in and near Battery Williams 
 were sending great numbers of shells screaming closely over our heads into 
 the flanks of the charging columns. At about 11 :00 A. M. above the sounds 
 of the more distant battle, there came nearer and nearer sounds from the 
 northwest that reminded us of the big rain drops that used to fall on the 
 roofs of our boyhood homes preceding the storm. It was the opening 
 sounds of our battle. Our time had come. ( )ur single line of farmer boys 
 and school boys were to be tried in the fire of battle as never before and 
 given the most severe manhood test of their lives against "massed American 
 Infantry at close quarters." There can he no test more severe. My thoughts 
 
432 Culler's Ohio Brigade. 
 
 were, "Can they stand it?" "Will they stand it?" The Confederate columns 
 were pouring from the woods in such vast numbers from the northwest 
 that the whole space between the railroads and the woods seemed filled 
 with them. Col. Kirby Smith mounted his horse, drew his sword, and in 
 the same loud clear voice we had so often heard, commanded, "Attention 
 Battalion. Fix Bayonetts. Change front forward on first company. By 
 company, right half wheel." The command was never finished. A hall 
 passed through his head and his voice was stilled forever. Colonel Swayne 
 assumed command, his head bleeding from a wound by a sharpshooter, and 
 was again wounded in the leg. About this time Adjutant Heyl was killed 
 from his horse, Major Herick was wounded slightly in the leg, also Sergeant 
 .Major McCarrery. The officers were doing their utmost to prevent firing 
 until the change of front was complete. The line swinging to the right on 
 the run was quickly brought close to the flanks of the Confederates columns 
 converging toward the Chewalla Road which now ran nearly paralell to 
 our line. The men were falling in great numbers along the whole line of 
 our regiment but had in obedience to orders not yet opened fire. My 
 thoughts were. "Why don't they fire?" "Will they never fire?" "Another 
 minute will he too late.'' "They will all be down." The same thoughts 
 must have passed through the brains of those farmer boys in the ranks 
 ( who almost to a man were experts with a rifle. ) For the whole line 
 brought their guns to their shoulders and without command fired into the 
 flank of the massed columns almost within reach of their bayonetts near 
 the Battery, producing a scene of desolation seldom equaled on a battle 
 field. Heaps of dead and wounded lay on the ground, in the ditch of 
 Robinett and across our whole front. The Confederate columns, much 
 disordered before from their rushing charge over fallen timber and brush, 
 now lost all 'formation and suffering terrible losses, crowded forward in 
 great masses toward and up the embankment of Robinett. with the desper- 
 ate resolve of breaking over that work and through our shattered lines. 
 The enemy although broken in formation was still desperately dangerous 
 and aggressive. The front ranks of the whole mass continued their deadly 
 fire nearly all at the range of only a few yards. 
 
 The men composing a large part of these attacking columns were 
 rough riders from Texas, and the southwest, enlisted as cavalry but serv- 
 ing as infantry (never having been mounted) armed with breech loading 
 Sharps rifles, (taken from the United States arsenals in Texas), the most 
 deadly military arm known at that time. These Texans, noted for bravery 
 and marksmanship, fully sustained their reputation. Their front ranks only 
 could fire while the great crowded mass back of them could only rush for- 
 ward, many to stop the shower of bullets that missed or passed through 
 those in the front line. This condition greatly increased their losses. 
 
 As many as could line up on top of the earthwork of Robinett poured 
 a deadly fire into that work, killing or wounding Lieut. Robinett and half 
 of his artillery men. and driving the balance out to the rear. The changing 
 fn.nt of the -bird having brought Companies A and part of C, into Battery 
 Robinett. the duty of defending it quickly fell to them, which duty they 
 nobly performed, losing more than half of their numbers in the few minutes 
 following. The rear of the Confederate columns were still crowding for- 
 ward (not knowing the fate of their comrades at the front) who having 
 
What a Drummes Boy Saw. 133 
 
 been stopped by our battle line at Robinett, each moment growing more 
 helpless from losses and crowding, and their remnants were quickly driven 
 in utter rout from the field and back to the woods. When the retreat com- 
 menced it quickly developed into rout. They mostly took the line of the 
 least resistance to the rear which was the Chewalla Road and the cleared 
 ground adjacent to it. This brought them directly across the front of the 
 regimental line, where they received a heavy flank fire at close range from 
 the whole line, doing great execution, but these remnants still dangerous 
 lost no time in reforming and were joined by a still larger force and immedi- 
 ately these great outnumbering columns moved upon our depleted lines for 
 tile second assault, more desperate if possible than the first. This time lead 
 by that gallant Texan. Col. Win. 1'. Rogers. After the first assault had 
 failed, the 43rd was withdrawn by Col. Swayne to nearly the original posi- 
 tion i facing west between Batteries Williams and Robinett) to allow the 
 artillery on the high ground to our left rear to rake the open ground in 
 front of Robinett. It was this withdrawal that caused the apparent disor- 
 der in tlie center of the regiment and not the fire of the enemy, as that was 
 not s C vere at this time, but the heavy artillery fire prevented many of the 
 men hearing the command to halt. No damage was done as all were in 
 line when the command was given to change front again. At this time the 
 39th Ohio was moved up across the rear of the 43rd. 63rd and Battery 
 Robinett, as a reserve in ease of disaster to the front line. At this moment 
 our Brigade anil Division commanders were in grave doubt whether after 
 their terrible punishment the front line could withstand the second storm 
 just coming. There was a feeling of great relief passed along our line 
 when they saw that splendid Regiment i the 39th Ohio, with resolution 
 marked on every face, each grasping his Whitney rifle with long sword 
 bayonets) form in our rear. And had there been disaster to the front line 
 there can be little doubt what would have happened to the enemy when 
 thejj met this second line. As soon as the Confederate columns were fairly 
 under way for the second assault, the 43rd was again ordered to change 
 front, which movement was again made on double quick in time to receive 
 the enemy in a much better position than the Regiment occupied during 
 the first assault. The ground over which these changes of front were made 
 was extremely rough, old camp sinks, fallen timber, stumps, brush, etc. 
 The Regiment showed great steadiness under these conditions. 
 
 The second assault was almost a repetition of the first, except that the 
 enemy was in greater numbers and their losses much heavier, as our boys 
 were less nervous and more determined after their first success. The righl 
 companies in Robinett closed up to the earthwork crossing bayonets with 
 the enemy over the parapet in one of the most desperate and deadly con- 
 flicts of modern times, while those to the left of the work poured their 
 deadly fire into the flanks of the enemy with greater rapidity and accuracy, 
 throwing them into confusion, causing a repetition of the over-crowding 
 and terrible slaughter on a larger scale. The second assault made no more 
 headway than the first, after reaching the Battery and line of regiments. 
 The men on both sides were melting away fast. This dreadful carnage 
 could not long endure. Several Confederate color bearers had fallen from 
 the parapet of Robinett when Col. Rogers, l leading the assault I seized the 
 colors of the 2nd Texas, and rushed to the top of the earthwork, shouting 
 
What a Drummer Boy Saw. 435 
 
 tn his men to follow and was instantly shot dead by a soldier of Company 
 
 A, 43rd.* Seeing their leader fall amid heaps of their dead and wounded, 
 the men could no longer stand the storm of lead being poured into their 
 crowded and disordered rank--, broke and fled in complete rout. At this 
 time a number of men from Company A manned the idle guns of Robinett 
 directed by Sergeant William Lilly and poured canister into the retreating 
 enemy as long as they were in sight. 
 
 The battle was over and the victory won, except the shouting which 
 was long and loud, especially when at this moment the Commander-in- 
 Chief-General Rosencrans, rode along our shattered ranks and with uncov- 
 ered head thanked us in the name of our country, a sight that can never be 
 effaced from the memory of any who saw it. When the firing ceased there 
 were many willing hands to assist us drummer boys in finishing the most 
 trying day's work of our lives, removing the wounded and dead. In a few 
 minutes the last of our wounded were in the hands of the surgeons for first 
 aid. then we gathered up the ghastly dead and placed them in long rows 
 for burial. And in ajl the regiments that fought that day, our rows of dead 
 were the longest, 23 killed and 98 wounded (5 mortal), total 123, including 
 the Colonel. Lieutenant-Colonel, Major, Adjutant and Sergeant-Major, 
 (the whole field staff) and many line officers, one-third of all engaged, and 
 nearly all in a few minutes. 
 
 As soon as my duties would permit after the firing ceased, I with a 
 boy's curiosity, went to the front of Battery Robinett and of all the sights 
 m\ eyes ever looked upon, this was the most ghastly and depressing, great 
 heaps of men piled in every conceivable shape, the deep wide ditch being 
 heaped with this frightful waste of war, many smooth faced boys, almost 
 children, that touched my heart, and many hardened faces that did not, 
 many badly wounded were held fast in the mass by the weight of the dead. 
 I with other willing hands helped carefully to untangle this mass of misery. 
 I have seen many bloody battle fields, but none have ever caused the tumult 
 in my brain that this one did, and on no other have I ever seen in so limited 
 a space the great numbers that were strewn and piled at Robinett and its 
 vicinity. The dead and mangled from nearly twenty regiments were 
 mingled here. 
 
 The official reports of our regimental losses are very incorrect. This can 
 be accounted for in part bv the death of the Colonel and Adjutant and severe 
 wound to the Sergeant-Major, whose duty it is to collect such information 
 and make reports. Col. Swayne's report says our loss was 16 killed and 
 
 *But one bullet struck Colonel Roger-, and that in the right breast. The 
 writer cut the gold star- from his collar a few minutes later, supposing him 
 to be a Major-General until informed differently by one of his men. His 
 body lay a few feet from the ditch where it was placed by his men when 
 shot. Many of those present supposed that the officer lying in the road In- 
 die dead horse about forty feet from the ditch was Colonel Rogers, but this 
 is not correct. This officer was Colonel of an Arkansas Regiment and must 
 have been killed by canister from Robinett. as more than a dozen balls had 
 struck him in the breast. He was of slight build, dressed in dark blue 
 clothe-. Rogers was a large fleshy man dressed in gre) with high patent 
 leather boots.

 INCIDENTS ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. 
 
 By J. W. Conger of the 4. : >k]> O. V. V. I. 
 
 After the Ohio Brigade crossed the Mississippi River below New 
 Madrid. April 7th. 1862, we were pressing the Rebels so hard near Tipton- 
 ville, that they abandoned their camp equipage, left their camp kettle- on 
 the fire, and did not have time to relieve their picket guards. The 43rd 
 Ohio were halted near the Rebel camp, when General Stanley rode in front 
 of the Regiment, and called for a detail to go down in the rebel camp. 
 Captain Marshman, of Co. II. called for volunteers, and with a boy's spirit 
 of adventure, 1 volunteered with a number of others from the Regiment. 
 On the way we came across a Rebel Captain who had been the officer of 
 the day. who was so disgusted at not being relieved from guard duty on 
 their retreat, that he had drowned his sorrows from the contents of a 
 demijohn of peach brandy at his side, and was leaning up against a log. 
 Our boys were very anxious to sample the brandy, but were afraid that it 
 might have been poisoned, and as a test one of them poured some out in 
 his tin cup and offered it to the captain, who drank it. This gave us 
 courage, and one of them poured out his cup heaping full. The captain 
 
 seeing this, exclaimed. "Boys, don't act the hog." At this time General 
 
 Stanley came up. saw the red sash, and accosted him as follows: " \re you 
 
 an officer, sir?" to which the captain replied. "I'm a prisoner, by !" 
 
 We then proceeded t" the rebel camp, and I came across a rebel soldier still 
 doing his duty, pacing up and down in front of an ordinance tent. Tie had 
 a loaded musket in his hand-, so while engaging him in conversation, 1 
 gradually approached him until 1 finally wrenched the gun out of bis 
 hand-. 1 found it In he an Enfield rifle of the same caliber as m\ own. 1 
 threw my gun .away, and carried the captured one as long a- 1 served in the 
 rank-, then turned it in to th I lovernment, which I have greatly regretti i. 
 as 1 would like to have it now as a relic. 
 
Incidents on the Mississippi River. 437 
 
 While Pope's army was on transports above Fort Pillow, the sun boats 
 were throwing shells over a point of timber at the Fort, but apparently 
 
 without doing any damage. The entire country was completely submerged, 
 and nci land was in sight. It was evident that the Fort could not be reduced 
 by the tire from the gun boats. A detail was made consisting of Co. B, 
 43rd, under command of Lieut. 11. S. Prophet, 43rd ( )hio, a company from 
 the 27th Ohio, and a company of Regulars, who were placed on board a 
 transport of very light draught, and the entire expedition, under com- 
 mand of Major Z. S. Spaulding, of the 27th < )hio, was sent for the purpose 
 of reconnoitering to ascertain if a stream could be found emptying into 
 the Mississippi River, which our transport could ascend where dry land 
 could be found and the Army landed with a view of capturing Fort Pillow 
 from the rear. .Many of the men were sick from the effects of drinking 
 Mississippi River water, which was mixed with mud from the Ohio River. 
 Major Spalding ordered the Regulars to vacate the cabin which they were 
 occupying, as he wanted to use it as a hospital for the sick men, but the 
 Lieutenant who was in command was under the influence of liquor, and 
 
 swore that no d volunteer officer could give him orders, and called on 
 
 his men to barricade the doors of the cabin. The Major then ordered the 
 long roll beaten, the volunteer soldiers fell in line upon the hurricane deck, 
 lined up each side of the skylight, and the major told the officer- that the 
 regulars had virtually mutinied. He instructed them to have their men load 
 and cap their gun-, and that upon his orders they would smash in the 
 glass and fire on the Regulars. He then went down into the cabin with 
 two or three orderlies, and again ordered the Lieutenant in command of 
 the regulars to vacate the cabin, but instead of doing so he drew a revolver 
 on Spalding, who in a moment had the Lieutenant on his back and by the 
 throat and called on his men to securely tie the Lieutenant and put him in a 
 stateroom under guard. After this occurrence, an orderly sergeant took 
 command of the regulars, and they vacated the cabin. Without exception 
 this was one of the most strenuous times for a short period during my term 
 of service, as I feared we would be obliged to fire on our own men. The 
 expedition proved a failure, a- no dry land was in sight, and we returned 
 to our respective commands. 
 
 In 1893, our firm purchased land in Cleveland, now occupied by us in 
 our business, and when we received our deed, we found that this same Z. S. 
 Spalding, who commanded the above expedition had signed the deed, he 
 being one of the Spalding heirs, and that the property had been his home- 
 stead during his boyhood days. 
 
 Xear Farmington. Miss.. May. 1862, I was doing picket duty. The Rebels 
 had been firing on our picket guards to such an extent that it became very 
 annoying and kept the Army under arms most of the time. General Tyler 
 rode up to the reserve guard headquarters and -aid that the rebel pickets 
 were lodged in some abandoned log huts in our front, and that he wanted 
 ten volunteers who could knock a squirrel's eye out at 200 yards. He also 
 told us that it was a dangerous undertaking and that we must use care and 
 protect ourselves all that we possibly could. While I was not altogether 
 clear that I could fill the bill as to marksmanship, but having used a rifle 
 
 from the time I \va< 10 or 12 years old. I had a prett) e. 1 opinion of 
 
 my markman-hip. Ira Churchill and I volunteered from Company I'.. to- 
 
438 Fuller's Ohio Brigadi 
 
 gether with a number of other- from our Regiment. The General then con- 
 ducted 11- a few hundred yards to the front and in the rear of a large house, 
 pointed out to us where the enemy were located and directed us, one at a 
 time, to make a rush for the heavy timbers to the right and somewhat 
 nearer to where the enemy were located. It was an open space and gave 
 them a good opportunity to fire on us as we ran for the timber, and we 
 could see where the balls struck in the red Mississippi clay, hut fortunately 
 all of us reached cover without any one being hit. and we kept up an Indian 
 method of fighting, each of us using fort) round- or more of ammunition. 
 The rebel officer of the day. unconscious of the changed condition-, rode 
 out in plain view, and was seen to fall from hi- horse, the result of our 
 tire. We saw them carry away several of the killed or wounded. During 
 the afternoon there was a flag of truce sent out and arrangements made 
 whereby this annoying picket fire was discontinued for the time being. In 
 the meantime two i onfederates, with whom we had been exchanging -hut- 
 came out from behind a large tree, and holding up a bottle, invited us to take 
 a drink with them, and for the fir-t time in my experience wanted to know it 
 we would not exchange coffee for tobacco, which was a very common oc- 
 currence later on. We then returned to guard headquarter-. Afterwards 
 Churchill was transferred to a battery and his gun was captured in front of 
 Atlanta. He got permission to go out in front to ascertain if the gun had 
 not been abandoned by the rebels, but in doing so was either captured or 
 killed, as he was never heard from afterwards. 
 
 Captain Marshman commended us for our services, and also wrote a 
 very complimentary letter home, which was published in the Mt. Gilead 
 Sentinel. 
 
ADDRESS TO THE ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE, OF WHICH 
 FULLER'S olllo BRIGADE WAS A PART. 
 
 October, 1902, I'.v Major-General Grenville M. Dodge. 
 
 Comrades of Army of the Tennessee: 
 
 ( hi the 28th day of August, 1861, General {'. S. Grant was assigned to 
 duty in command of the District of Southwest Missouri, with headquarters 
 
 at Cairo, 111., and here commenced the organization and growth of the 
 Army of the Tennessee. It remained under his personal command, or as 
 a unit of his great army, from the beginning until the end of the war, ex- 
 cept for two short intervals, one after the great battle of Donelson. and 
 the other after the greater battle of Shiloh, both of which he won. and 
 gave the first great light and hope to our country, and it is hard now. after 
 reading all the records, to understand the reasons for his being relieved. 
 It appears to have been done through a misunderstanding, and with no 
 intention of doing injustice to General Grant. 
 
 Following General Grant as commander came General Sherman, a 
 member of the army almost as long as General Grant. ( ieneral Sherman 
 was in direct command, or the army served under him as a unit of his 
 greater army, from the time he a>sumed command until the end of the war. 
 
 After General Sherman came General McPherson, that ideal soldier. 
 who commanded the army until he fell in the great battle of Atlanta on 
 22nd of July. L'pon his death. General Logan t<>"k command of the army, 
 as the senior officer present, and at the end of the battle of July 22nd, he 
 could say that he had met and defeated Hood's whole army in the greatest 
 battle of that campaign. 
 
 Following General Logan came General O. O. Howard, the only Gen- 
 eral taken from another army to command it in all the historv of the Army 
 of the Tennessee, or even any of its corps. The next day after assuming 
 command. General Howard led the army into the great battle of the 28th 
 of July, which the Confederates said was not a battle, but a simple killing 
 and slaughtering of their forces. He remained in command until the end 
 of the rebellion, and at the end of the war genefi iusly gave way to General 
 Logan, so that one of its original members might command it at the great 
 review in Washington, — an act that could only come from such a just and 
 thoughtful soldier as Howard. 
 
 I speak of our army's commanders first, as an army takes its habit- 
 and character from it-- head, and probably no other army in the world was 
 so fortunate as to have always at it- head great soldiers and great com- 
 manders, recognized a- such the world over — two of them the peers of any 
 commander that ever stood up in a great conflict. 
 
 The Army of the Tennessee covered more ground in its campaigns 
 than all the other armies combined, and all its campaigns were marked by 
 some great struggle, battle or movement that challenged the admiration of 
 the world. First came Fort Donelson, next Corinth, Vicksbursr, anil fob 
 
44u Ft ller's < Ihio Brig vdi . 
 
 lowing thai Chattanooga, where it fought on both flanks in that great battle. 
 one division taking the point of Lookout Mountain above the clouds. At 
 the battle of Nashville, December 15th and 16th, 1864, General A. J. Smith 
 with the right wing of the Sixteenth Corps and troops from Missouri, 
 turned the left wing of Hood's Army. Then came the Atlanta ca/npaign; 
 following that the stragetical march to the sea, and. finally, that bold move- 
 ment from Savannah to Goldsboro, which is considered by the best critics 
 as one of the boldest and best planned campaign- of history, one in which 
 ever) chance was taken, and every opportunity given the enem) to concen- 
 trate upon an inferior force. 
 
 The record of this army is probably the most satisfactorj of any that 
 ever existed, as it was harmonious in all it- part-, and had no jealousies, 
 each of it- units to the best of its ability helping the others. Again, it was 
 modest; it struck blow after blow, and let the world sing it- praises. All 
 
 ampaigns were great successes, and it never lost a battle. All its 
 army, corps, division and brigade commander- were exceptionally able men. 
 and were seldom relieved except to assume more important command-. It- 
 experience- were more varied than any other army, for in its campaigns, 
 battles and marches, reaching from the Missouri River to the Atlantic, at 
 Washington, over a territory two thousand mile- long and five hundred 
 mile- wide, it opened the Mississippi, it forced it- way to the sea, it was 
 reviewed by the Government of the nation at Washington, and it disbanded 
 and the men went to their homes without causing an unpleasant comment 
 or a painful thought in all this broad land. 
 
 General McPherson was the first to fall in the great battle of Atlanta. 
 He fell just after watching the attack in the rear of the loth army corps, 
 which held the kev to the situation. The last word- he -poke were in praise 
 of the fighting of that corps. General Sherman in reporting hi- death. 
 spi ike of him a- f< >11< iws : 
 
 "General McPherson fell in battle, booted and -purred, as the gallant 
 and heroic gentleman should wish. Not his the loss, but the country's, and 
 the army will mourn his death and cherish his memory as that of one who. 
 though comparatively young, had risen by his merit and ability to the 
 command of one of the best armies which the nation had called into exist- 
 to vindicate her honor and integrity." 
 
 1 reneral McPherson was so dear to our old army that the great vic- 
 tor) at the battle of Atlanta was never spoken of by our army except to 
 5S our great grief at the loss of our commander, llis faith in what 
 be could accomplish with our army was unbounded. He -poke <>\ us on 
 July 4th. 1863, as follows: 
 
 "With tireless energy, with sleepless vigilance, by night and by day, 
 with battery and with ririe-pits. with trench and mine, you made your sure 
 
 aches, until overcome by fatigue and driven to despair in the attempt 
 to oppi i-e your irresistible progress, the whole garrison >>i over 30.000 
 men. with all their arm- and munition of war. have, on this, the anniversary 
 of our National Independence, surrendered to the invincible troops of the 
 Army of the Tennessee. The achievements of this hour will give a new 
 meaning to this memorable day, and Vicksburg will brighten the glow of 
 the patriot'- heart which kindles at the mention of Bunker Hill and 
 Yorktown. This is indeed an auspicious day for you. The Hod of battle

 is with you. The dawn of a conquered peace is breaking upon you. The 
 plaudits of an admiring world will hail you wherever you go. and it will be 
 an enpbling heritage, surpassing all riches, to have been of the Army of the 
 Tennessee on the Fourth of July, 1863." 
 
 General John A. Rawlins, who represented the organization and spirit 
 of our great army, and who shared its fortunes from beginning to end as 
 chief of its first and greatest commander, died 1873. 
 
 General Rawlins, in giving a history of the Army of the Tennessee, 
 paid this tribute to it : 
 
 "In no army did the soldier enjoy greater liberty, consistent with mili- 
 tary discipline, than in the Army of the Tennessee, and in none were his 
 rights and his life more carefully guarded. 
 
 The subordination of the Army of the Tennessee to the policies and 
 acts of the Government affecting the institution of slavery in the prosecu- 
 tion of the war. is worthy of the highest commendation. It had no policy 
 of its own to propose, but went forth, as expressed by the Legislative 
 Branch of the Government, to do battle in no spirit of oppression, or for 
 an) purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of overthrowing or inter- 
 fering with the rights or established institutions of the States in rebellion ; 
 but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the constitution, and to pre- 
 serve the Union with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several 
 States unimpaired. 
 
 The Army of tlie Tennessee did great deeds in all the departments of 
 the States' service, and individually and combined illustrated in a peculiar 
 manner the qualities of noble American character which gained success in 
 the field, preserved its fruits by subsequent statesmanship, and bv exalted 
 virtue crowned victory with the attributes of peace and justice." 
 
 General John A. Logan, that brilliant, magnetic soldier. Of him. 1 'resi- 
 dent McKinley .spoke as follows: 
 
 "Logan's career was unique. His distinction does not rest upon his 
 military achievments alone. His services in the legislature of his own state, 
 in the national House of Representatives, and in the Senate of the United 
 States would have given him an equally conspicuous place in the annals of 
 the country. He was great in the forum and in the field." 
 
 "He came out of the war with the highest military honors of the vol- 
 unteer soldier. Brilliant in battle and strong in military council, his was 
 also the true American spirit, for when the war was ended he was quick 
 and eager to return to the pursuits of civil life." 
 
 General Logan's love and devotion to us only ended with his life, and 
 at one of our reunions characterized our work thus: 
 
 "The Army of the Tennessee was not limited in its scope: the theater 
 ot its operations and the extent of its marches, comprehending within their 
 bounds an area greater than Greece and Macedonia in their palmiest days, 
 and greater than most of the leading kingdoms of Europe at the present 
 day. reaching from the Missouri River on the north nearly to the Gulf of 
 Mexico on the South, and from the Red River of Louisiana to the Atlantic 
 ( )cean." 
 
 The friendship and loyalty of Sherman to Grant was the first great 
 cause of the success of both, and for the harmony that existed in the Armv 
 of the Tennessee. Sherman fell under the command of Grant at Paducah 
 
442 Fuller's Ohio Brio j h 
 
 in the spring of L862, holding a small command. He was the ideal soldier, 
 as he dropped from a department and Army commander to that of a post, 
 and later a division, without a murmur. Sherman's first words to Grant, 
 on February 15, 1862, were these.: 
 
 "I should like to hear from you, and will do everything in my power to 
 hurry forward to you reinforcements and supplies, and if 1 could be of 
 service myself, would gladly come without making any question of rank 
 with you or General Smith, whose commissions are of the same date." 
 
 On the same date he wrote again : 
 
 "Command me in any way. I feel anxious about you, as I know the 
 great facilities they (the enemy) have of concentration, by means of the 
 river and railroads, but have faith in you." 
 
 After the war, at a banquet given him in St. Louis, in 1866, at which, 
 as commander of that Department, 1 was present, General Sherman gave 
 this resume of his campaigns. 
 
 "You cannot attain great success in war withoul .ureal risks. 1 admit 
 we violated many of the old established rules of war by cutting loose from 
 our base and exposing sixt) thousand lives. I had faith in the army I 
 commanded; that faith was well founded. But there was the old story 
 exemplified. We had the elephant, and again we had to put our wits to- 
 gether and we concluded to kill the elephant. We did not like to do it. 
 1 contended at first when we took Vicksburg, that we had gained a point 
 which the Southern Confederacy, as belligerents — so recognized by our- 
 selves and the world — were hound to regard. That when we took Vicks- 
 burg by all the rules of civilized warfare they should have surrendered and 
 allowed us to restore Federal power in the land. But they did not. 1 
 claim also that when we took Atlanta, they were bound by every rule of 
 civilized warfare to surrender their cause. It was then hopeless, and it was 
 clear to us as daylight that they were hound to surrender and return to 
 civil life. But they continued the war, and then I had a right under the 
 rules of civilized warfare to commence a system that would make them 
 feel the power of the Government, and cause them to succumb to our 
 national authority. So we destroyed Atlanta, and all that could be used 
 against us there will have to he rebuilt. The question then arose in my mind 
 how to apply the power thus entrusted b) m\ Government so as to produce 
 the result — the end of the war. which was all we desired; for war is only 
 justifiable among civilized nations to produce peace. There is no other 
 legitimate rule — except to produce peace. This is the object of war. and 
 it is so universally acknowledged. Therefore, 1 had to go through Georgia, 
 and let them see what war meant. 1 had the right t< > destroy their com- 
 munications, which I diil. 1 made them feel the consequences of war, so 
 they will never again invite an invading army. Savannah tell, as a matter 
 .if course. Once in our power, the question then arose, 'what next?' All 
 asked, 'what next:' 1 asked advice again ami again, hut 1 got mighty 
 little. I can tell you except from Grant, who is always generous and fair. 
 \i advice — no word al Savannah, save from .Mr. Lincoln, who asked 
 'what next?' 1 told him I would tell him after a little while. 
 
 "Then came the last movement, which 1 do contend involved more 
 labor and risk than anything which I have done, or ever expect to do again. 
 I could take Charleston without going there. First, by segregating it from 
 
General G. M. Dodge's Address. 443 
 
 the rest of the country so it could not live. Man must have something to 
 live upon. He must go where there is something to eat, therefore I con- 
 cluded to break up the railroads, so the people had to get out of Charles- 
 ton or perish. Then the next thing was to place the army in Columbia, 
 which 1 tell you is more of a place in the South than you are aware of. 
 Years ago 1 thought Columbia would be the scene of the great and final 
 struggle of the war. 1 thought our Western army would go Eastward 
 and our Eastern army Southward to Columbia, and that we would fight it 
 out there. The people there regard it as a place of security. They sent 
 their treasure there. But if you place an army where the enemy ~a_\ you 
 cannot, you gain an object. All military readers will understand the princi- 
 ple; and, therefore, when I placed my army in Columbia. I fought a bat- 
 tle. I reaped the fruits of a victory — bloodless, but still it produced military 
 results. The next question was to place my army still further where I 
 could be in communication with the old Army of the Potomac — where we 
 could destroy the life of the Confederate armies, for it seemed at one 
 time as though they were determined to fight to the 'last ditch.' 
 
 "So we went to Goldsborough and then I hastened to see Mr. Lincoln 
 and Grant for the last time. We talked the matter over and agreed per- 
 fectly. Grant was moving then. I had been fifty odd marching days on 
 light rations. My men were shoeless and without pant.-., and needed cloth- 
 ing and rest. I hurried back to Goldsborough, dispatched everything with 
 as great rapidit} as I could, and on the very day I appointed, I started in 
 pursuit of Johnston, let him be where he might. Now understand, that in 
 this vast campaign we had no objective point on the map: all we had to do 
 was to pursue the Confederate armies wherever they might go and destroy 
 them whenever we could catch them. The great difficulty was to bring 
 them to bay. You can chase and chase a hare until the end of time, but un- 
 less you bring him to hay you cannot catch him. Grant was enabled tohring 
 Lee to bay by means of Sheridan's cavalry. I did not have sufficient cavalry ; 
 if I had I might have brought Johnston to bay. but with my then force 1 
 could not, because my cavalry was inferior to his in numbers. Therefore, 
 when Lee surrendered, Johnston saw as clearly as I had seen months be- 
 fore, that his cause was gone. I had been thinking of it for months; there- 
 fore, when he met me and announced the fact that he was 'gone up," I was 
 prepared to receive it. It was just like a familiar song. It seemed to the 
 North a new thing. We had expected it. and when they gave up, there 
 was an end of it, as we supposed. I low did they give up, was the question ; 
 gave up — that was all. No use in fighting any longer. On wdiat terms 
 did they give up? I have described sufficiently clear in my official report 
 all the conversation that took place, and all I will say is that the North 
 seemed to be taken unawares, although every paper in the land and every 
 county court orator had preached about peace for the last four years; yet 
 when it came they did not recognize it. All 1 claim is that I was prepared 
 for it from the start. The moment Johnston spoke to me. 1 saw peace at 
 once, and 1 was honest enough to say so. But all that is now past and I 
 am satisfied in my heart that we have peace." 
 
 General U. S. Grant. To this modest, charitable and just soldier and 
 statesman the world has given its tribute. From those whom we foughl 
 and defeated have come the most gallant words of praise, and touching in

 sympathy. President Lincoln, above all others, recognized his power and 
 ability when he handed him his commission and gave him command oi all 
 the armies, and assured him that he should not in any way interfere with 
 him. Armed with all the powers of the Pri.--~idi.-nt. with carte blanche to 
 use them as he saw tit. Grant made his answer at Appomattox, bringing 
 peace to our nation and gratitude to the conquered. General Grant was a 
 man of few words, and when called upon to speak of the Army of the 
 Tennessee, paid it this tribute: 
 
 "As an army, the Army of the Tennessee never sustained a single 
 defeat during four years of war. Every fortification which it assailed 
 surrendered. Every force arrayed against it was either defeated, cap- 
 tured or destroyed. Xo officer was ever assigned to the command of that 
 army who had afterwards to be relieved from it, or to be reduced to an- 
 other command. Such is tint accident." 
 
 President and comrade William McKinley, at one of our gatherings, 
 paid this tribute to you : 
 
 "It is recorded that in eighteen months' service the Army of the Ten- 
 nessee captured eight) thousand men with flags and arms, including six 
 hundred guns. A greater force than was engaged on either side in the ter- 
 rible battle of Chickamaujnt. From the fields of triumph in the Mississippi 
 Valley it turned its footsteps towards the eastern seaboard, brought relief 
 to the forces at Chattanooga and Nashville, pursued that peerless campaign 
 to Atlanta and the seaboard, under the leadership of the glorious Sher- 
 man, and planted the banners of final victory on the parapets of Fort Mc- 
 Allister." 
 
 It is said that the old Army of the Tennessee never lost a battle and 
 never surrendered a flag. Its corps badges — 'forty rounds' of the Fif- 
 teenth Corps; the fleeting arrow of the Seventeenth Corps: the disc, from 
 which four bullets have been cut. of the Sixteenth Corps — are all signifi- 
 cant of the awful business of cruel war, all of them suggestive of tin- mis- 
 siles of death.

 September \st. 186-1 — The camp of the Twenty-seventh Ohio Infantry 
 was "ii the same ground at Marietta. Georgia, which was afterward dedi- 
 cated by the United States Government to the use of a National Cemetery. 
 There are thirty-five acres in the enclosure, all well covered with grass, 
 Uiterspersed with trees. The grounds are undulating and naturally beau- 
 tiful, and no expense nor pains have been spared to keep them attractive. 
 There is the usual massive, imposing granite arch over the gateway and 
 just within is the keeper's lodge. In this cemetery, ten thousand two hun- 
 dred and forty-eight of the nation's defenders lie buried. About seven 
 thousand of these are known. Each grave has a headstone upon which i- 
 the name and the regiment to which each soldier belonged. Among them 
 are the graves of five officers and forty-three enlisted men of the Twenty- 
 seventh, twenty-seven of the Thirty-ninth, eighteen of the Forty-third, 
 and twenty-eight of the Sixty-third, < >hio Regiments. 
 
 Our dead. Their battle fields and their graves: The prairies of Mis- 
 souri; the banks of the Mississippi; the cotton fields of Tennessee: the 
 mountains of Georgia: the swamps of the Carolinas. 
 
 Some fill graves in the beautiful cemeteries of the nation, others in 
 their northern homes, and some alas! fill unknown graves. 
 
 "Soldier rest! thy warfare o'er. 
 Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, 
 Dream of battlefields no more, 
 Davs of danger, nights of waking."

 LESSONS OF THE WAR. 
 
 RECRUITING REGIMEN rs. 
 
 During the war. when an old regiment became reduced in numbers 
 by reason of death or discharge, it became customar) in all the states 
 (Wisconsin excepted) to raise new regiments with experienced men. from 
 Colonels to Captains. This was a grave mistake. The old regiments 
 should have been filled up by recruits at the bottom and the vacancies 
 among the officers filled with the best and the experienced non-commissioned 
 officers of the old regiment, instead of allowing the old battalions to dwindle 
 away into skeleton organizations. It was estimated that five hundred new- 
 men added to an old and experienced regiment were more valuable than 
 a thousand men formed into a new regiment. It was found thai soldiers 
 accustomed to the open air. who lived on the plainest food, seemed to 
 have less pain from wounds and were attended with less danger to life 
 than were ordinary soldiers in the barracks. Wounds that in 1861 would 
 have sent a man to the hospital for months, were regarded in 1865 as 
 mere scratches. To new soldiers, blood has often a sickening effect, hut 
 war sunn accustoms them to the sight of it.

 THE ROSTER OF OHIO SOLDIERS. 
 
 The Roster of ( iliio Soldiers published b) authority of the State of 
 Ohio contains many errors of various sorts, some id' them are in mis- 
 spelled names, age of the soldier, date of discharge, date and place of death. 
 manner of death, whether wounded or killed, promotions and so forth, 
 some of which reflect upon the name of many of the soldiers of the Bri- 
 gade. These mistakes occurred through carelessness on the part of the 
 compiler and his assistants in the Adjutant-General's office. At a reunion 
 of Fuller's Ohio Brigade held in Columbus in 1878, a resolution was 
 adopted to which Generals Fuller and Swayne concurred, requesting the 
 Adjutant-General to send out an addenda explaining and correcting said 
 errors evidence of which was furnished by members of the Brigade then 
 living and have it pasted mi the Roster, which had been distributed, hut 
 for some unexplained reason nothing was done in the matter of correction."
