NINETEENTH INFANTKY. 141

HISTORY OF NINETEENTH INFANTRY.

The act of the Legislature of the State of Illinois, passed Maj^ 2d, 1861, au-

thorizing the acceptance for State service of ten regiments of infantrj', one-

regiment of cavalry and one battalion of light artillery, provided that one of

such regiments might be raised out of volunteer companies then at Spring-field, as the regiment from the State at large, and one regiment from each of

the nine congressional districts. That regimen*, from the State at large, con-

sisting then only of four Chicago companies, commanded by Colonel JosephR. Scott, was mustered into the State service May 4, 1861, at Camp Yates,and on the 3rd of June ordered to Chicago, became the nucleus of a regiment,which, after having been filled up to its quota, was mustered into the UnitedStates service for three years on the 17th of June, 1861, as the NineteenthRegiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry.

This date of mustering, although showing that the Regiment was not of the

number of the first six regiments organized under the act of 25th of Aprils

1861, yet it embraced four original companies that tendered their services to

the State and were accepted far earlier than many other companies that be-

longed to the original six regiments. Thus the "Chicago Highland Guards"was an organized company in the State service, dating its organization backto 1855; it tendered its services to the Governor on the 14th of January. 1861,

three months before Fort Sumter was fired upon; was accepted on the 21st of

April, and on the 23rd ordered to Springfield under command of Captain A.W. Raffen. Thus "Chicago Light Infantry," under Captain Frederick Hard-ing, "Companv A, Chicago Zouaves," under Captain James R. Hayden, and"Company B, Chicago Zouaves," under Captain John H. Clyborne, were or-

ganized in March, 1861, before the call of the President, tendered their ser-

vices to the Governor, and on the 21st of April, 1861, by order of GovernorYates, formed a part of the expedition under Brigadier General R. K. Swift,

to move by rail to Cairo, and to occupy that important strategic point, as

future basis of our operations against the rebellious States. Of these last

companies, "Company A, Cnicago Zouaves," was left by General Swift to

guard the Big Muddy Bridge, a very important point on the Illinois CentralRailroad, this being the first company on actual guard duty in the State;

while the other two companies went to Cairo, where their services with othercompanies of that expedition were very important at that early time, in keep-ing down the rebellious spirit of southern sympathizers, in preventing the

landing of southern militia in Illinois, and in stopping transportation of armsand munitions on steamers on the Mississippi River from points above Cairo

to the points below it. So that while these four Chicago companies were do-

ing actual service, the first six regiments were not even in their embryo or-

ganizations.

The roster of the Nineteenth Illinois Infantry, when organized at CampLong (afterwards Camp Douglas), was as follows:

Field and Staf: Colonel, John B. Turchin; Lieutenant Colonel, Joseph R.Scott; Major, Frederick Harding; Adjutant, Chauncey Miller; Quartermaster,Robert W. Wetherell; Surgeon, Samuel C. Blake, (resigned in a few monthsand succeeded by Roswell G. Bogue); First Assistant Surgeon, Preston H.Bailhache; Chaplain, Augustus H. Conant.

Line Officers: Company A (Chicago Zouaves): Captain, James R. Hay-den; First Lieutenant, Clifton T. Wharton; Second Lieutenant, John C. Long.Company B (Elmira Rifles, Stark county): Captain, Charles A. Stewart^First Lieutenant, Stephen M. Hill; Second Lieutenant, Alexander Murchison,


•Jr. Company C (Chicago Zouaves) : Captain, James V. Guthrie; First Lieu-tenant, William Ennis; Second Lieutenant, Leavens J. Keeler. Company D(Chicago Light Infantry): Captain, Charles A. Colby; First Lieutenant, Jas.R. Faulkner; Second Lieutenant, D. E. Cunningham. Company E (High-land Guards): Captain, Alexander W. Raffen; First Lieutenant, David F.Bremnor; Second Lieutenant, John Young. Company F (Cass CountyGuards): Captain, Luther L. Allard; First Lieutenant, Knowlton S. Chand-ler; Second Lieutenant, Thomas Job. Company G: Captain, Charles D. C.Williams; First Lieutenant, Lyman Bridges; Second Lieutenant, Charles H.Roland. Company H (Moline Rifles): Captain, Peachy A. Garriot; FirstLieutenant, DeWitt C. Marshall; Second Lieutenant, Alvah Mansur. Com-pany I (Anti-Beauregards, Galena): Captain, Bushrod B. Howard; FirstLieutenant, Thaddeus G. Drum; Second Lieutenant, John R. Madison. Com-pany K (Chicago Zouaves): Captain, John H. Clyborne; First Lieutenant,Pressly N. Guthrie; Second Lieutenant, Charles H, Shepley.

Colonel Turchin having been a Colonel of Staff in the Russian Guards, paidparticular attention at the start to the drill and discipline of the Regiment,and helped by several officers and sergeants, who belonged|before to the origi-

nal company of Ellsworth Zouaves, utilized the first two weeJis in CampLong to the utmost, to make the Regiment as efficient as possible for the ser-

vice before it. He pursued his endeavors in that respect in future every timethe Regiment was not on the march, and finally succeeded in making theNineteenth Illinois one of the best drilled Regiments in the western armies.

Brigadier General John Pope having been appointed to command troops innorth Missouri, and Brigadier General S. A. Hurlbut to command troops in

northeastern Missouri under Pope, with headquarters at Quincy, the Nine-teenth Illinois received orders to move to Quincy by rail and report to

General Hurlbut. On the 12th of July the Regiment struck tents, and, mov-ing out of camp, marched to the Illinois Central depot. Being largely com-posed of Chicago men, crowds of relatives, friends and spectators accom-panied the Regiment on its way to and at the depot, taking leave of the sol-

diers going to the front. Amidst the touching scenes of parting, cheers andwaving of hats and handkerchiefs, the men crowded the cars, the locomotiveswhistled, and the Nineteenth Illinois started on its martial career of threeyears of service given patriotically and voluntarily to the nation and the gov-ernment. On the evening of the 13th it arrived at Quincy, and on the 14threceived orders from General Hurlbut to relieve the Twenty-first Illinois, un-der Colonel U. S. Grant, posted on the Hannibal & St. Joe Railroad fromQuincy to Palmyra, and between Palmyra and Hannibal. During two weeksof stay in this locality, the Regiment, besides guarding several importantbridges on railroad, made several expeditions to different points in the neigh-borhood, chased newly organized rebel companies out of various plantations,destroyed their barracks and provisions, obliged the citizens to give pledgesnot to support any more such companies, encouraged formations of homeguards companies at Palmyra and Newark, suppressed the Secessionists andencouraged the Unionists.

The concentration of strong rebel fol-ce at New Madrid, Mo., under com-mand of General G. J. Pillow, obliged General Fremont, then in command ofthe Department of Missouri, to concentrate a sufficient force at Birds Point,opposite Cairo, on the Missouri side. On the 27th of July the Nineteenth re-

ceived orders to take boats at Hannibal and proceed by river to St. Louis,where it joined a large flotilla, on which a number of troops were embarked,and the whole proceeded down the river. The troops were landed at Bird'sPoint, and the Nineteenth was immediately detailed to Norfolk, six miles be-low Bird's Point, as an advance guard, where its duties were quite difficult

and arduous. The information that a portion of Pillow's army was advancingtowards Dallas and Jackson, with a view to strike at Ironton, originateil an-other expedition, in which the Nineteenth particpated. On the the 1-lth ofAugust it left Norfolk, took boats at Bird's Point, went up the river, landedopposite Sulphur Springs Station, on the St. Louis & Ironton Railroad, andthence went by rail to Ironton, from which point, on the 2S)t-h of August,moved as a part of the expedition under Brigadier General B. M. Prentiss,

•consisting of six regiments of infantry, one battery of artillery and a squad-


ron of cavalry, towards Dallas and Jackson. Approaching: Dallas, where it

was expected to meet the enemy, General Prentiss requested Colonel Turchinto move with his Regiment as an advance guard of the column. No enemyhaving been met, the column stopped at Jackson, and on the 8th of Septem-ber moved to Cape Girardeau, took boats and again went to Cairo, where theNineteenth was ordered to cross to the Kentucky shore and take camp byFort Holt, newly built, but in a few days was ordered, together with tlae Sev-enteenth Illinois Regiment, under Colonel L. F. Ross, to move down the riverand occupy Ellicot's Mills, twelve miles this side of Columbus. While therethe Regiment received orders to move to Cairo, take cars on the Illinois Cen-tral Railroad, and proceed to Washington, D. C. On the 16th of Septemberthe Regiment left Cairo, and on the 17th having changed cars at Sandoval,proceeded in two trains on the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad toward Cincin-nati. When 46 miles east of Vincennes, Ind., the second train, containingfour companies and regimental staff, about 10 p. m., broke through the bridgeNo. 48, crossing Beaver Creek, between Shoals and Mitchel, Ind., and in thatfrightful accident 24 men, including Captain B. B. Howard, were killed onthe spot, and 105 men wounded. Of the last, some have died in the hospitalsat Cincinnati; others were crippled for life, and others recovered and joinedthe Regiment afterwards. This horrible accident caused a loss in life nearlyas great as any of the battles fought by the Regiment during the wliole of its

term of service. The troubles at that time in Kentucky caused the Regimentto be stopped at Cincinnati and wait for orders. It camped a few days at

Camp Dennison, when it received orders to take boats and proceed to Louis-ville, Ky., where it arrived on the 25th of September, and on the same daywent by rail to Lebanon Junction, 35 miles south of Louisville, where it re-

lieved the Louisville Legion and went to Camp. Thus, after thousands ofmiles of traveling by river and by rail, the Regiment at last got into a some-what permanent camp, where it could drill and improve itself in guard andpicket duty and in battalion movements.

Brigadier General Robert Anderson having been relieved by BrigadierGeneral W. T. Sherman, in command of the Department of Kentucky, theconcentration of Union troops at Mumfordsville necessitated the moving ofthe troops to the rear. The Nineteenth Illinois received orders, on the 22d ofOctober, to move to Elizabethtown, and went into Camp at that place. Herewas another chance to drill. The Regiment took possessisn of the printingoffice of the "Elizabethtown Democrat," (a rebel sheet, whose owners tied atthe approach of Union forces,) and commenced to issue the "Zouave Gazetteof the Nineteenth Regiment Illinois Volunteers." Colonel Turchin profitedby the occasion to publish articles on the skirmishers' drill, out-post duties,bugle signals rendered in woods, and many others on battalion movements,distributing the articles among officers and men of the Regiment, in view ofperfecting them in their duty. He prepared also a "Brigade Drill," in pam-phlet form, which afterwards was freely distributed among officers of his Bri-gade, and which was the first brigade drill adapted to improved arms sincethe old "Scott's tactics."

Brigadier General D. C. Buel having been appointed to commatid the Armyof the Ohio, and the formation of Brigades and Divisions having commenced.General Buell went around to review his command, and when he came to

Elizabethtown to review the Nineteenth Illinois, he was strongly impressed bythe soldierly appearance of the Regiment, and its marching. Contrary to thelong established usage to review a Regiment by only passing in review of its

companiHS in marching, he accepted the proposition of Colonel Turchin tosee the drill of the Regiment, and after the regiment went through manualof arm>:, loading, firing, and bayonet exercise, as also through various evolu-tions of the battalion drill, with a skill and regularity not to be surpasspd.General Buell confessed to Colonel Turchin that he "never saw a betterdrilled Regiment." He soon assigned Colonel Turchin to command the EighthBrigade of the Third Division, Army of the Ohio; the Brigade consisting ofNineteenth and Twenty-fourth Illinois, Eighteenth Ohio, and Thirty-seventhIndiana Regiments, under Brigadier General 0. M. Mitchell, commandingthe Division. The Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Brigades, constituting theThird Division, went into camp at Bacon Creek soon afterward, and remainedthere until the 10th of February, 1862.


The taking ot Forts Henry and Donelson compelled the rebel forces underGeneral A. S.Johnston to evacuate Bowling Green, before which the advanceguard of Buell's army, under General Mitchell, appeared at 3 p. m. on the14th of February, Turchin's Brigade being in the advance of the Division,and the Nineteenth Illinois in the advance of the Brigade. The railroadbridge being destroyed, and the trains on ;the other side of the Big Barrenbeing busily engaged carrying away the rebel stores, Colonel Turchin pro-{)Osed to march down the river, to cross it in a scow by a mill a few miles be-ow, and occupy Bowling Green with his Brigade the same evening. GeneralMitchell agreeing, the movement during the night was successfully executed,.

and the Nineteenth Illinois was the first Regiment in that stronghold, wherea large amount of rebel stores were captured. In the advance on Nashville,beyond Bowling Green, Gen. Mitchell's Division was in the rear of Buell'sarmy, arriving at Nashville on the 4th of March, 1862.

General Buell, moving with his army to join General Grant at PittsburgLanding, left Mitchell with his Division to protect Nashville, who remainedthere until March 18, repairing bridges between Bowling Green and Nash-ville; then moved to Murfreesboro, and from there to iShelbyville, the termi-nus of the railroad in that direction, where he established his depot of sup-plies. While there, an expedition was organized to move on Huntsville andtake possession of the Memphis & Charleston railroad, between Decatur andBridgeport, thus thoroughly breaking the direct communications of the ene-my's army at Corinth with east and southeast of the Confederacy, and helpingthe operations of our armies against Corinth. Turchin's Brigade, with Simon-son's Indiana Battery, preceded by the Fourth Ohio Cavalry, under ColonelJohn Kennett, moved, on the 7th of April, to Fayetteville, General Mitchellaccompanying. Approaching Fayetteville, it was ascertained from two citi-

zens returning in a buggy from Huntsville, that the day previous (the 6th ofApril) our army was routed at Shiloh, and driven into the river. Mitchell atonce sent an orderly with a dispatch to General Buel, back to Shelbyville,and the next morning, while at Fayetteville, received an answer that Grant'sarmy was defeated on the Gth, but on the 7th both armies of Grant and Buelattacked the enemy and drove them back to Corinth. The movement thencontinued on the 8th, and the force camped for the night within six miles ofHuntsville, and at dawn on the 9th Colonel Turchin, with the Fourth OhioCavalry and a section of battery, made a dash on Huntsville, while Mitchell,with the Eighth Brigade, followed. One hundred and seventy prisoners, sev-enteen locomotives, one hundred and fifty passenger and freight cars, and agreat amount of property of great value to the enemy, were captured. In twohours after the Brigade came to Huntsville, Turchin, with Twenty-fourthIllinois and two companies of the Nineteenth Illinois, moved on a train, witha gun mounted on a flat car in front of the locomotive, towards Decatur, re-pairing bridges and culverts which the rebel Cavalry under Colonel Helmtried to destroy, and the next day the expedition was at the bridge across theTennessee, where a fortification built of bales of cotton was captured, thetrestle-work across the slough, that was tarred and cotton-feathered and seton fire, was saved, and the troops rapidly moving across the bridge, surprisedand captured a rebel camp of militia, and took possession of Decatur. Thebalance of the Nineteenth Illinois and the Eighteenth Ohio, were ordered tojoin Turchin at Decatur, and the movement continued to Tuscumbia, withinthirty-five rniles of the enemy's fortifications at Corinth, the Nineteenth Illi-

nois occupying the town, while the balance of the Brigade camped back in agrove. During this time General Mitchell, with his other Brigades, took pos-session of the Memphis & Charleston railroad between Huntsville and Bridge-port. After receiving one hundred thousand rations sent by General Halleckon a transport convoyed by a gunboat, for Mitchell's Division, and shippingthe same to Huntsville, the Brigade withdrew to Huntsville, the EighteenthOhio being sent to occupy Athens. During the above expedition the Nine-teenth Illinois lost but a few men. On the 13th of May, on the report thatthe Eighteenth Ohio was surprised by Scott's rebel Cavalry, brought there bysome citizens of Athens, and driven from the town, Colonel Turchin, withNineteenth and Twenty-fourth Illinois, Edgarton's Ohio Battery, and theFourth Ohio Cavalry under Colonel Kennett, rapidly moved to Athens. The


Eighteenth Ohio was met, and faced towards Athens again,''part of it orderedto take wagons and follow the Cavalry, which reached and-^attacked the rearof the rebels on Elk river.

On the 26th of May the Brigade was ordered to move to Fayetteville, whereon the 2d of June it joined the expedition, under Brigadier General Jas, S.Negley, to Chattanooga, during which, on the 6th, the Nineteenth Illinois,

under Lieutenant Colonel Scott, was detatched from the column for the pur-pose of crossing Cumberland Mountains by the shortest route, and cuttingoff the enemy's retreat. The Regiment accomplished the march, came downthe mountain opposite Chattanooga, driving in Rebel scouts and pickets andcapturing some, while our main force was ten to fifteen miles from Chatta-nooga. The next day during the demonstration by our forces and cannonad-ing. Companies A and G, deployed as skirmishers along the shore, supportedby Companies E and D, silenced the Rebel water battery on the oppsite sideof the river. The loss of the Regiment was one mortally and two severelywounded. The expedition over, the Eighth Brigade returned to Huntsville,from which point subsequently an expedition, consisting of the NineteenthIllinois with Simonson's Indiana Battery and a few Cavalry, under ColonelTorchin, was sent to Winchester, Tenn., from which point it went, by PaintRock Valley, to Larkinsville, and thence was directed to Bellefonte toStevenson, around which other Regiments of the Eighth Brigade werestationed; the army of General Buell gradually advancing towards Chatta-nooga. During the march through Paint Rock Valley the advance guard ofthe Nineteenth was fired upon by guerrillas from an ambush, in retaliationfor which the Regiment burned several houses in that neighborhood. Colo-nel Turchin was now ordered under court-martial by General Buell, on ac-count of the disorders committed by his troops at Athens, Ala., but beforethe sentence of his dismissal from the army as Colonel of the NineteenthIllinois had been pronounced, he was commissioned by President AbrahamLincoln as Brigadier General, and left the Army for Chicago to awaitorders. The Regiment was ordered to guard bridges in little squads scat-tered in stockades along the railroad from Huntsville to Decatur, and thenceup to Columbia. When the Rebel army, under General Bragg, moved fromChattanooga, by Sparta and Carthage, to invade Kentucky, and had struckat Buell's communication between Bowling Green and Franklin, Ky,,the Brigade was ordered to concentrate at Nashville; the Nineteenth Illinois

was one of the last Regiments that were withdrawn from the front, duringwhich withdrawal it had several times to fight guerrillas and Rebel Cavalry,every time whipping the enemy. From the 5th of September, 1862, it re-mained at Nashville, as a part of garrison under General Negley, during theblockade of that place, having its share of guard duty, short rations andsharp skirmishes with the enemy.

After the battle of Perryville Major General W. S. Rosecrans supersededGeneral Buell; the Army of the Ohio changed its name to the Army of theCumberland and was reorganized; the Nineteenth Illinois was brigaded withthe Eighteenth and Sixty-ninth Ohio and Eleventh Michigan, under thenanae of the Second Brigade, Second Division, Fourteenth Army Corps; theDivision being commanded by General J. S. Negley, the Brigade by ColonelT. R. Stanley, of the Eighteenth Ohio, and the Corps by Major General Geo.H. Thomas.

On the 10th of December, 1862, Negley's Division moved from Nashvilleout about eight miles and camped on the Franklin Pike, remaining thereuntil the 26th, when a general movement of the army took place towardsMurfreesboro, occupied by the Rebel army under General Braxton Bragg.On the night of the 29th the army approached the enemy's position, Negley'sDivision being in the center of the line, and on the morning of the 30th theNineteenth deployed as skirmishers, entered the cedars and soon attackedthe enemy and drove him across Wilkinson Pike into the woods, except agart of the Rebels that occupied a brick kiln close to the pike, which Colonelcott with the reserve of the Regiment attacked and drove back also. Mc-

Cook's troops coming up, the Nineteenth was withdrawn to its place in the

Vol. 2—10


line. On the morning of the 31st the troops stood under arms, the Divisionbeing ready to move, when the disaster overtook McCook's Corps, formingthe right of the army, and Negley's right flank became exposed. The Divis-ion partly changed front and checked the advance of the enemy, but wasoverpowered and fell back to the edge of the cedars. Here it tried to makea stand but again was forced back. But here the Nineteenth Illinois showedits pluck and daring, performing an act of heroism which alone shouldmake the name of the Regiment to shine in our history. When Sheridan'sDivision was displaced by the enemy and formed at an angle on the right ofNegley, two Brigades of Rosseau's Division were posted to the right and rearof Sheridan, but when Sheridan's Division, broken and out of ammunition,fell back, the Rebels followed it closely and got into the interval betweenRosseau and Negley. Thomas ordered Rosseau to fall back out of the cedarsand form a temporary line on the open ground in a depression, to givechance to the batteries and to Negley's Division to fall further back to thehigh ground and form a permanent line there. At this critical time, in orderto check the Rebels, the Nineteenth Illinois occupying the cedars not onlyremained there while a new line of Rosseau's troops were forming, but Colo-nel Scott boldly advanced and remained for over half an hour against theRebels pressing him in front and on the flanks; the Regiment sustained aheavy loss in oificers and men, being at one time entirely surrounded by theenemy, but fought its way out, passing over large numbers of Rebel deadin its heroic struggle to join the main line, but it helped Rosseau to form anew intermediate line, and then the Nineteenth, with the whole of Negley'sDivision, fell back to the designated position on the high ground where after-

wards Rosseau's troops and reserves were formed, and where the Rebel armywas definitely stopped and the fortune of the battle turned in our favor.

During the same battle, on January 1, 1863, Negley's Division was orderedto our extreme right to support McCook, in anticipation of a second effort ofthe enemy to turn our Regiment. During the afternoon VanCleve's Division,commanded by Sam Beatty, moved across the Stone River, supported byGrose's Brigade, and formed a line of battle in front of Breckenridge.

On the 2d of January, anticipating an attack on our left, Negley's Divisionwas moved back to the river, and posted to the right and rear of Sam Beatty'stroops that were beyond the river, while a battery of 58 guns was concentra-ted back of Negley, on the elevated ground. Breckenridge impetuously at-

tacked our left, and routing Price's and Gryder's Brigades, of the first line,

drove them pell-mell from the heights to the river and across it, when ourguns opened fire, while most of the regiment of Miller's and Stanley'sBrigades of Negley's Division, the Nineteenth Illinois leading, withoutorders, rushed to the river, and checked the enemy. Then the Nineteenthcrossed the river, reformed on the opposite side, protected by the bank of

the river, and charged on a Rebel battery, eagerly followed by other troops,

which drove the Rebels back to their position, captured four guns and aRebel flag, and defeated the plan of Bragg to break our left. In this brilliant

movement the Nineteenth played a most conspicuous and honorable part,

but again lost heavily in officers and men, losing also its commander, thegallant Colonel Scott, here dangerously wounded, and afterwards died fromthis wound. After the fall of Scott, Lieutenant Colonel A. W. Raffen, abrave and efficient officer, assumed command of the Nineteenth Illinois.

During the three days of the Stone River battle, the Regiment lost 1 officer

and 13 men killed, and 7 officers and 88 men wounded and missing.

Early in the spring of 1863, General Turchin joined the army, and was as-

signed to command Stanley's Brigade, to which the Nineteenth Illinois be-longed, but only for a few days. Earnestly solicited by General Rosecransand General Garfield to take command of the Second Division of Cavalry, hereluctantly accepted, and with regret was obliged to forego the pleasure tocommand a Brigade in which were his own Regiment, the Nineteenth Illinois

and another that belonged to the First Brigade—the Eighteenth Ohio.

During the time the Army of the Cumberland was lying at Murfreesboro,the Nineteenth had its share of picket and guard duty, as well as taking partin a number of expeditions, and became prominent as the best drilled Regi-

I


ment. Several times it was called out in front of the Army, when reviewedby the General commanding, and went through the manual of arms and bay-onet exercise.

During the campaign of Tallahoma, it did its full duty, and on the 8th ofSeptember it crossed the Tennessee River, on the Chattanooga campaign.

General Negley's Division, being designated as an advance guard of Gen-eral Thomas' Corps, after crossing Raccoon and Lookout Mountains, on the10th of September descended by Stevens' Gap into McLamore's Cove, andmoved across the cove to Dug Gap, in Pigeon Mountains, on direct road toLafayette.

On the 11th, at Davis' Cross-roads, it had a spirited engagement with theRebels, in which the Nineteenth participated.

After McCook's Corps joined Thomas, Negley's Division was ordered, onthe 18th, to relieve Palmer's and VanCleve's Divisions at Owen's Ford, onthe Chickamaugua, and at Crawfish Spring.

During the first day of the battle of Chickamaugua, Negley's Division didnot participate until late in the afternoon, when, moving from Widow Glen'shouse to the front, it met a portion of the Rebel force that broke betweenDavis and VanCleve's Divisions, and drove them back, the Nineteenth par-ticipating in the fight.

On the 20th of September skirmishing began at daybreak. GeneralThomas' intention was to have Negley's Division on his left, but during thesevere fighting of that day the Brigades became separated. When Stanley'sBrigade reached the extreme left of Thomas' wing, about 10 A. M., it wasjust in time to meet the second assault of the enemy, in which the Rebelsgreatly overlapped the fiank of Baird's Division. Stanley's Brigade cheekedthe Rebel advance, and charging in turn, drove the enemy in disorder throughthe woods for half a mile, capturing a considerable number of prisoners,among whom were General Adams and staff, who surrendered to Major Jas.V. Guthrie, of the Nineteenth Illinois. The Rebels being reinforced, theBrigade fell back in order, taking all the prisoners and most of its wounded.The Brigade was then ordered by General Thomas to support our forces onthe famous "Horseshoe Ridge," on the extreme right of the Army. Here,the Nineteenth Illinois did its fullest duty, with other as brave and patriotic

commands as itself, performing acts of bravery and devotion to the flag

unsurpassed in any battle of modern warfare. Here, during a long hour, be-tween 2 and 3 P. M., all the assaults of three Divisions of Longstreet'sCorps, supported by Preston's and Hindman's Divisions, were repulsed withslaughter by our troops, not over 5,000 strong, but the bravest of the brave;but when Hindman's Division was ready to take our position in flank, andthe men were preparing to die, Steadman's Division arrived, and rolledback the Rebel wave. Here the Nineteenth Illinois, like others, fought till

night, and withdrew in the dark. The loss of the Regiment in this battle wasvery great.

After the Army of the Cumberland got to Chattanooga, it was reorganized,and the Nineteenth Illinois assigned to the Second Brigade, First Division,Fourteenth Army Corps. The Brigade consisted of First and Second Battal-ions of Fifteenth, First Battalion ol Sixteenth, First and Second Battal-ions of Eighteenth, and First Battalion of Nineteenth Urfited States Infantry;Eleventh Michigan, Nineteenth Illinois, and Sixty ninth Ohio, Volunteer In-fantry, and commanded by Brigadier General J. H. King; the Division com-manded by Brigadier General R. W. Johnson, and the Corps by Major Gen-eral John M. Palmer. During the blockade at Chattonooga, the Nineteenth,like other Regiments, was doing its share of duty in throwing up fortifica-

tions, in picket and outpost duty, as well as in suffering from privations andhardships.

General Geo. H. Thomas relieved General Rosecrans in command of theArmy, General Grant came, the battle of Missionary Ridge began on the 23dcontinued on the 24th, and culminated in the assault on the Ridge by the fourDivisions of the Army of the Cumberland, that finished the battle and gaveus the victory on the 25th of November, 1863. In this assault, Johnson's Di-


vision was on the right of the four Divisions, and when the signal was givenand the troops cleared the open space and reached the rifle pits of the enemy,at the base of the Ridge, the Nineteenth Illinois did not halt at the pits, butleaped over them, and started to ascend the steep slope ahead of others.

After the pursuit of the enemy was over, the Regiment returned toChattanooga, where it remained with its Brigade till February 22, 1864,

when the reconnoissance toward Buzzard Roost Gap was ordered, in whichthe Regiment participated, and afterward camped at Graysville, Georgia, till

May 3, when, by a special request of Gereral Tui'chin, it was, togther withthe Twenty-fourth Illinois, transferred to his Brigade—First Brigade, ThirdDivision, Fourteenth Army Corps, with which the Regiment made a part ofthe Atlanta campaign, under Major General W. T. Sherman. It participatedin the battle of Resaca, and in the movements towards King-ston and beyondEtowa River, as far as Burnt Hickory, from which the Nineteenth was sentto Ackworth, Georgia, from which, on June 8, it started to Chicago, arrivingthere on the 17th of June, and on July 9, 1864, it was mustered out of ser-

vice.

This Regiment left Chicago on July 12, 1861, nearly one thousand strong,had received during the service a large number of recruits, and was musteredout with less than 350 men.
