HISTORY OF ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTH INFANTRY.

The One Hundred and Eighth Regiment. lUinois Volunteers, was organized at Peoria,

111., by Colonel John Warner, and mustered into the United States service on the 28th day

of August, 1862.

The Regiment remained in camp at Peoria until the 6th of October, when it proceeded

by rail to Covington, Ky., on its arrival there, reporting to Major General Gordon Granger,

and was assigned to the First Brigade. Third Division, Army of Kentucky, commanded re-

spectively by Colonel John Coburn, Thirty-third Indiana Volunteers, Brigadier General A.

Baird, and Major General Gordon Granger.

The Regiment was here fully equipped for active field service, and on the 17th of Octo-

ber, marched with its Division, passing through Falmouth, Cynthiana, Paris and Lexington,

to Nicholasville. Ky., where it went into camp on the 1st of November, 1862.

The army being here reorganized, the One Hundred and Eighth was assigned to the

Second Brigade. First Division, commanded respectively by Colonel William J. Landrum,of the Nineteenth Kentucky Infantry, and Brigadier General A. J. Smith.

November 14th, 1862. broke camp at Nicholasville, and marched with the Division, pass-

ing through Versailles. Frankfort and Shelbyville to Louisville. Ky., where it arrived on the

19th November, and on the 21st embarked on board of transports for Memphis, Tenn. Ar-

rived at Memphis November 26th. and went into camp near the city.

Here the troops were again re-organized, and the One Hundred and Eighth was assigned

to the First Division. Right wing. Army of the Tennessee. Colonel Landrum and General

A. J. Smith commanding the Brigade and Division respectively. The Regiment remained

at Memphis performing picket and other guard duty until December 20th, 1862, when it em-barked on board the steamer "City of Alton." and proceeded with the expedition under

General W. T. Sherman against Vicksburg. The expedition proceeded down the Mississippi

to the mouth of the Yazoo River, and up the latter to a place called Johnson's Landing,

where it arrived on the evening of December 28th.

On the morning of the 29th, the Regiment disembarked and formed in line of battle:

found the enemy strongly fortified on the liluffs running northeast from the City of Vicks-

burg.

The One Hundred and Eighth occupied the extreme right of the Union line, its right rest-

ing on the Mississippi River. The Regiment opened fire on the enemy's pickets on the

afternoon of the 29th. and sharp skirmishing was kept up until dark, when it received orders

to fall back a distance of .300 yards and hold its position.

It remained under arms during the night, and the rain came down in torrents. Early onthe morning of the 30th, it received orders to advance, retake and hold its position of the pre-

vious day. In carrying out of this order, there was some pretty lively skirmishing whichcontinued for about a half hour and resulted in the enemy being driven back with a loss to

him of 7 killed and 4 prisoners in front of the One Hundred and Eighth's line. The orders

were to retake and hold its position of the day before, and having done this, no attempt wasmade to do more, and about noon the Regiment was relieved and allowed to fall back to

rest and refresh itself.

January 1st, 1863, the One Hundred and Eighth was again ordered to the front, where it

remained on the skirmish line until near midnight, when, in compliance with orders received

early in the evening, it silently withdrew, and with a section of the Chicago Mercantile Bat-

tery, covered the retreat of the entire army; arrived at Johnson's Landing about daylight onthe morning of the 2nd, and re-embarked on board the steamer ' 'City of Alton." The with-

drawal of our forces was so well arranged and conducted chat the enemy was not aware of our


departure until they saw our fleet of transports steaming down the Yazoo River. TheOne Hundred and Eighth was highly complimented by the General commanding for its part

in this affair.

The expedition proceeded down the Yazoo to the Mississippi, up that river to the mouthof White, up the latter and through a cut-off, into the Arkansas to Arkansas Post, or as it is

sometimes called. Fort Hindman. when, on the afternoon of January 10th, 1863, the OneHundred and Eighth disembarked and took an active part in the investment of that fort. Onthe following morning, January 11th, the Regiment was ordered to advance through a nar-

row strip of timber and across an open field within short range of the enemy's guns, to within

pistol shot of the fort.

The fighting immediately opened at this point, and was very severe. From the momentthat the order to advance was given, the officers and men, without exception, displayed a

coolness and courage which, taking into consideration the fact of its being the first time that

the Regiment was under a heavy fire, was greatly to their credit. The casualties in the OneHundred and Eighth on this occasion were 1.3 men wounded, none mortally.

Immediately after the capture of Fort Hindman, to-wit: on the 17th of January, 1863, the

Regiment embarked and proceeded down the river to Young's Point, La., nearly opposite to

Vicksburg, where, on the 24th of January, 1863, it disembarked and went into camp.Owing to its long confinement on board of transports, the want of pure air and sanitary

conveniences during this expedition, great mortality prevailed. First Lieutenant Philo W.Hill, Company A, and 134 enlisted men died of disease during the months of February andMarch, 1863.

Major General John A. McClernand anived and took command of the expedition just

previous to the engagement at Fort Hindman, and the title of the army was then changed to

the Army of the Mississippi, the Brigade and Division organizations remaining the sameas before, and the Division was designated the Tenth Division of the Thirteenth ArmyCorps.

Here it remained on outpost duty and furnishing heavy details to work on the famous"canal," up to the 10th of March, 1863, when it embarked on board of the steamer "SpreadEagle, " and proceeded to Milliken's Bend, La. Disembarked and went into camp. Re-mained at this point until the loth of April, 1863, when it broke camp and marched with the

Division and Corps via Richmond, Smith's Plantation and Lake St. Joe to Hard Times Land-ing, on the Mississippi River, nearly opposite to Grand Gulf; thence to Bruinsburg, arriving

there on the night of the 29th of April. 1863.

April 30th. in the afternoon, crossed over the Mississippi River on the ironclad gunboat' 'LaFayette, " which had run by the rebel batteries at Vicksburg and Grand (julf.

May 1, 1863, at 1 o'clock A. M., the Regiment was on the march, and after a rapid march,

at about 8 o'clock A. M., reached the battlefield of Port Gibson, or, as it is sometimes called

Magnolia Ridge. Miss. Fighting had begun a little before the One Hundred andEighth arrived on the field, and there was no time given for re.st; the Regiment immediately

moved into position. The mancEuvering, marching and counter-marching over steep andrugged hills and across deep ravines, which continued during the entire day until nearly sun-

set, was very fatiguing, the day being excessively hot, but the result was a grand victory for

the Union forces.

After a very circuitous march, the Regiment reached Champion Hills on the 16th of May.where the enemy were again met and beautifully whipped. The One Hundred and Eighth

bore a conspicuous part in this bloody battle, and was highly praised for its valor by its

commanders. Here the Regiment was detached for the duty of guarding our prisoners of war.

May 17th, marched its prisoners to Black River Bridge, where it was joined by the

Twenty-third Iowa Infantry, who also had in charge a large number of prisoners. The num-ber of prisoners then in charge of both Regiments was about 4,.j00.

On the night of May 19th, reached the landing at Haines' Bluff, on the Yazoo River, and,

on the 2Cth, embarked with a portion of the prisoners on board the .Steamer, "Fanny Bulitt,"

proceeded to Young's Point, La., where it disembarked and went into camp on the sameground it occupied some five months previous.

May 25th , embarked with its prisoners on board the steamer '

' Ijladiator, " and proceeded

to Memphis, Tenn., where it turned over its prisoners to the commandant of that post, and

returned to Young's Point on the steamer "Emerald." On its passage down, the steamer

was fired into a numl^er of times by guerillas from the shore, but the only casualties in the

Regiment was one man of Company K severely wounded in the leg.

The regiment now remained at Young's Point, La., in the performance of various kinds

of duty, until after the surrender of Vicksburg. It kept up a line of pickets across the point

of land opposite the city of Vicksburg, which, together with the gunboats stationed above

and below the city, formed with the lines on the east side of the river a complete circuit

around Vicksburg.


The One Hundred and Eighth furnished heavy details of men to man and work the

heavy mortars upon the mortar boats above the city, and a number of the men so detailed

were permanently disabled by the concussion of the discharge of the mortars.

July 18th the Regiment crossed over to Vicksburg, and leported to Major General Mc-

Pherson, commanding the Seventeenth Army Corps, and went into camp.

July 26th, the One Hundred and Eighth embarked and proceeded to Memphis, Tenn.,

w here it arrived on the 29th, and reported to Major General Hurlburt.

On the 5th of August, it left Memphis, and proceeded by rail to LaGrange, Tenn., and

u pon its arrival there, was assigned to the First Brigade, Second Division. Sixteenth Corps.

Oct. 28th, marched to Pocohontas, Tenn., and garrisoned that post until the 9th of No-

v ember, when it proceeded by rail to Corinth, Miss. Remained at Corinth until the 25th of

J anuarjs 1864, when it proceeded by rail to Memphis, Tenn. Here the regiment was

a ssigned to the Second Brigade, District of Memphis, Sixteenth Army Corps.

June 2d,186-t, a detachment of about 130 men and officers of the One Hundred and

Eighth, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel R. L. Sidwell, marched with the expedi-

tion under Brigadier General Sturgis, which left Memphis at that time to meet the enemyunder General Forrest. For the first nine days that the expedition was out. it rained nearly

ever>' day; the condition of the ro^ds was bad, and the troops sulTered in many ways.

On the 10th of June the advance came up with the enemy at Brice's Cross-roads or

Guntown. Miss., and immediately engaged them; the day was excessively hot. not a cloud

appeared in the sky. and the sun's rays came beating down a road moist from previous rains,

causing a steam to rise that was almost suffocating. Under this condition of things, as soon

as the fiist gun was heard in the front, the troops were hurried forward on the double quick,

and upon arrival at the scene of action, were hastily marched to the field, and assigned their

position in line without a moment's time to rest after a long and tiresome march, the last two

miles of which was made on the double quick. The One Hundred and Eighth has cause to

feel proud of its record on this occasion, for notwithstanding that our forces were defeated,

owing to the treachery or incompetency on the part of some one, the One Hundred and

Eighth did its part bravely and well, and were the last to leave the field, and then not until

it had expended its last cartridge, and found it impossible to obtain a fresh supply.

Colonel Sidwell in his report to the Brigade commander gave the casualties in the OneHundred and Eighth as 2 enlisted men killed, 1 officer and 4 enlisted men wounded, and 10

officers and 97 men missing. A number of those reported as'

' missing " came up afterwards.

Captain Henry C. Sommers, of Company G, was captured and murdered by guerillas on this

expedition, and the leader of the gang, one Dick Davis, was afterwards captured, tried for

the crime and hanged at Memphis.On the occasion of Forrest's raid into Memphis August 21, 1864, the One Hundred and

Eighth did good service in causing him to make a hasty retreat.

On the 28th of February-, 1865, the Regiment broke camp at Memphis and embarked for

New Orleans, La., where, upon its arrival it was assigned to the Third Brigade, Third Di-

vision, Sixteenth Army Corps, its Colonel, Charles Turner, having command of the

Brigade.

March 12, embarked on board the ocean steamer "Guiding Star" for Fort Gaines, on

Dauphine Island, arriving on the 16th, disembarked; here Colonel Geddis, Eighth Iowa In-

fantry, relieved Colonel Turner of command of the Brigade, being the senior officer, and the

latter resumed command of his Regiment.March 21, embarked and moved up Mobile Bay and Fish River to Danley's Mills, about

twenty-five miles from the mouth of Fish River, disembarked and bivouacked until the

morning of the 2.5th, when it marched with the Corps in the direction of Mobile.

Ea.ly on the morning of the 27th, met the enemy and drove him within his works at

Spanish Fort, the strongest of Mobile's defenses.

Heavy fighting was kept up all day, and during the night seige works were begun. TheOne Hundred and Eighth occupied the extreme right of the Union line, which was a

most important position, for it was expected that the enemy would attemptto turn this flank.

The regiment pushed its works to within one hundred yards of the enemy, the menworking night and day, and constantly exposed to the fire of the enemy's sharp-shooters.

The seige of thi.s stronghold lasted thiiteen days, and was brought to a close on the night of

the 8th of April, when the Third Brigade, of which the One Hundred and Eighth was

part, charged the enemy's works from the works constructed by the One Hundred and

Eighth, which were two hundred yards nearer the enemy's works than any other part of our

line. The casualties in the One Hundred and Eighth during the seige and assaultwere, con-

sidering their exposed position, extremely light—being 3 enlisted men killed, and 1 officer,

Captain W.M.Bullock, of Company E, and 10 enlisted men wounded, the first named,

severely.


On the 9th of April, 1865, marched with the Corps rn the direction of Montgomery, Ala ,

where it arrived on the 25th of the same month. Here it remained performing provost duty

until the 18th of July, when it broke camp and embarked on steamer for Selma, Ala.; movedthence by rail to Jackson, Miss., via Demopolis and Meridian. From Jackson the Regi-

ment marched to Black River and proceeded thence by rail to Vicksburg.

On the 5th day of August, 1865, the final muster-out rolls were signed by the mustering

officer, and the Regiment embarked for Cairo, 111.; from thence it proceeeded by rail to

Chicago, where, on the 11th of August, 1865, it was paid and finally discharged from the

service of the United States.
