HISTORY OF ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THIRDINFANTRY.

This Regiment was organized at Mattoon, 111., by Colonel James Monroe (then

Major of the Seventh Illinois Infantry). Companies A, C, D, H, I and K being fromColes county; B from Cumberland, B from Clark, F and G from Clark and Crawford.It was mustered into service at Camp Terry, Mattoon, September 6, 1862, with JamesMonroe as Colonel, Jonathan Biggs, of Westfleld, Clark county, as Lieutenant Colonel,

and James A. Connolly, of Charleston, 111., as Major.

On the 19th of September, 1862, the Regiment was loaded into freight cars at Mat-toon, and transported to Louisville, Ky., where it was at once put to work, underGeneral Nelson, to fortify the city against Bragg, who was then advancing on it in

pursuit of Buell.

October 1, having been assigned to the Thirty-third Brigade (General W. H. Terrill),

Fourth Division (General James S. Jackson), in McCook's Corps, the Regiment started

on the march under Buell, southward through Kentucky, after Bragg, who hadturned back, and up to this time the Regiment never had battalion drill, and hardlyan attempt at company drill, as all the officers, except the Colonel, were "raw re-

cruits."

October 8, just nineteen days after leaving Mattoon, the Regiment was engaged in

the battle of Perryville, where it lost 36 killed and 180 wounded. Among its woundedwere Captain Coblentz, Company E, First Lieutenant S. M. Shepard, Company A, andAdjutant L. H. Hamlin. Its Brigade Commander, General Terrill, and its Division

Commander, General Jackson, were both killed immediately behind and within twentyfeet of the line of the Regiment.

October 12, moved through Danville, Ky., to the Kentucky River, thence backthrough Danville and Lebanon to Mumfordsville, Ky.

In November moved via Glasgow and Bledsoe's Creek to Castilian Springs.

December 26, marched in pursuit of John Morgan, to Glasgow and Bear Wallow.

January 2, 1863, abandoned the chase after Morgan, and under Colonel Hall, OneHundred and Fifth Ohio, commanding Brigade, marched to Cave City, Bowling Greenand Nashville, Tenn., reaching Murfreesboro, Tenn., in General Gilbert's Corps,January 10.

February and March were spent in brigade and regimental scouting.

Early in March the Regiment was attacked beyond Stone River, while halted onBreed's Hill, with arms stacked and ranks broken, by a large cavalry force, but forror

ing under fire, and repelling the attack, it waded Stone River, carrying off its wounded,and withdrew to Murfreesboro.

March 20, the Brigade, consisting of the One Hundred and Twenty-third Illinois,

Eightieth Illinois, One Hundred and Fifth Ohio, One Hundred and First Indiana, withtwo pieces of Captain Harris' Battery—about 1,500 men in all— was attacked and sur-

rounded by Morgan's Cavali-y, about 5,000 strong, with six pieces of artillery, hearMilton, Tenn., about twelve miles out from Murfreesboro. This was shortly after

Morgan had captured a Brigade of infantry at Hartsville, Tenn. In the engagementat Milton, Morgan was wounded, his force driven from the field, leaving their dead/

and wounded and two pieces of artillery. Captain A. C. VanBuskirk, Company H,was killed, and a number wounded.


Major Connolly had the pommel of his saddle torn away by a bullet, and dismount-

ing, was in a few minutes knocked down and seriously injured by a bullet which

carried away the collar of his overcoat and blouse. Dr. H. C. Allen, the Regimental

Surgeon, had his blouse riddled with bullets while attendng to the wounded. Morgan

never fought a successful battle after this.

May the Regiment was assigned to Wilder's Brigade, Reynolds' Division, Four-

teenth Corps, composed of Seventeenth and Seventy-second Indiana, and Ninety-eighth

and One Hundred and Twenty-third Illinois. They were mounted, and armed with

Spencer rifles—seven shooters. Did scouting and patrol duty for a month or so.

June 24 this Brigade led *the advance of Rosecrans' army in its movement from

Murfreesboro, the Seventeenth Indiana being in advance and the One Hundred and

Twenty-third Illinois next. These two Regiments moved out from Murfreesboro long

before daylight on the morning of the 24th, in a drenching rain, and by daylight en-

countered the rebel videttes. Prom that moment the itwo Regiments broke into a

gallop and kept up the run. The farther they went the larger the rebel force of

cavalry kept growing before them, but the rapid pace gave the enemy no time to

form, until about 9 o'clock in the morning, by which time these two Regiments hadi

advanced to and seized Hoover's Gap, a place of great natural strength, but they were

confronted here with twenty times their own number of infantry, well supplied with

artillery to occupy this Gap, and their supporting forces were at least ten miles in

the rear, floundering along through the mud and rain. But the rapidity and audacity

of the movement saved them, for the enemy, supposing the force was a large one,

checked there advance in column, deployed there force in two lines, brought up there ar-

tillery and opened a terrific artillery fire, at the same time sending out reeonnoitering par-

ties on the Federal flanks, but as soon as the gap was seized, couriers had been despatched

back to Wilder, informing him of the situation, and before the enemy had satisfied

himself of the force in his front, the other Regiments of the Brigade arrived, and with

It the battery of Captain Lilly, (Indiana) his guns having been hauled the last mile

by men of the Brigade, Lilly's horses having given out with their long run through

the muddy roads.

These reinforcements checked the enemy still more, but by 2 P. M. they made adetermined attack along the whole line and on both flanks, but the seven shooting

Spencer rifles proved effective in repelling it, and before another could be made the

head of the infantry of Rosecrans' army began to arrive, and Hoover's Gap was held

without further contest, the enemy withdrawing in the night. The Regiment lost

several killed and wounded in this affair.

June 26 to August 16, raiding to the rear of Bragg's army, cutting and tearing uprailroads, and burning bridges in his rear; capturing horses and contrabands in the

vicinity of Manchester, War Trace, Shelbyville, Columbia, Centerville, Pulaski andDecherd.

August 16, moved eastward from Decherd, over Cumberland Mountains and Wal-den's Ridge, reaching the valley on the east side of the Ridge, at Poe's tavern, about

10 o'clock at night, and there bivouacing until 3 o'clock in the morning, when MajorConnolly, of the One Hundred and Twenty-third, was ordered to move down the val-

ley with two companies of his regiment, and, moving cautiously and without noise,

to go as far down the valley as he could. This battalion moved on at smart pace

and noiselessly over the sandy road, until about 6 o'clock in the morning, when, uponmaking a turn in the road, the battalion suddenly found itself within 100 yards of

the Tennessee River, and looking right up the main street of the city, while the high

fortified hill, on the Chattanooga side, w.th its many guns, frowned immediately over

the heads of the men of the battalion, but there was a steamboat lying at the bankon the north side of the river, just where the road they were traveling reached the.

water, which had just unloaded 60 mules and twelve rebel soldiers, who were bring-

ing the mules out to pasture. In an instant the battalion was flying down the road

to that steamboat, the mules and soldiers were captured, and the Spencer rifles beganfiring into the boat, which dropped its gang plank into the river, and backed out

from the bank, drifting down with the current, as the helmsman was compelled to

desert his wheel. In the excitement of the attack some of the men rode their horses

belly-deep into the river, in their eager desire to capture the boat. The enemy in the

city were completely surprised; they didn't know there was a Federal soldier within

100 miles of the city, so the little battalion stood there and fired across into the streets

Vol. 6—27.


at every rebel uniform that showed itself dodging about the streets, for full ten min-

utes before a single shot was returned from the other side. Couriers were sent backto notify the Brigade Commander, and, in a very short time, the rest of the Brigade*,

with Captain Lilly's battery, was on the hills opposite Chattanooga, and Liilly, withhis rifled guns, soon found himself able to send his shells entirely over the city andto any part of it. The Regiment remained there with its Brigade, picketing the river

for miles above and below Chattanooga, until Sept. 9, when Crittenden's Corps entered

Chattanooga.

The Kegiment then forded the river above Chattanooga, and led the advance of

Crittenden's Corps to Ringgold and Tunnel Hill, Ga., constantly skirmishing dui-ing

the three days advance.

September 18 and 19, engaged in the battle of Chickamauga, the Regiment takingits place in line with the infantry of the Fourteenth Corps, to which it belonged.

September 20, the Regiment remounted and moved with its Brigade back throughChattanooga, and, crossing the river, moved up to Fryer's Island.

Sergeant Major R. W. Houghton was killed, and Captain W. E. Adams, CompanyI, was wounded at Chickamauga.

September 24, Major Connolly was detailed to serve as Inspector of the ThirdDivision, Fourteenth Corps (General Reynolds) and, on the reorganization of the army,the Divisions of Reynolds and Brannan were consolidated under command of Baird,

and Major Connolly, from that time until the close of the war, served as inspectori

of this consolidated Division, engaging in the siege of Chattanooga, battles of Look-out Mountain, Mission Ridge, Ringgold, Resaca, Atlanta Campaign, Sherman's marchto Savannah and through the Carolinas and Virginia to Washington.

October 1 the Regiment started up the river under (Jeneral Cook to intercept

Wheeler in his raid toward Nashville.

October 7 engaged in the battle at Farmington, Tenn., in which Wheeler wasseverely punished and driven from the State, and where Colonel James Monroe waskilled. Sergeant Catlin and (,'orporal Shope were killed also, and many others

wounded.

Followed Wheeler and drove him across the Tennessee River.

October 19 went into camp at Maysville, Ala., and spent some two months there

patroling the surrounding country and collecting horses, thence to Pulaski, Tenn.,

where two or three weeks were spent in shelter tents, with snow a foot deep andzero weather. Thence to Mooresville, Ala., about the middle of January, 1864, andguarded the Tennessee River, gathering rations and forage in northern Alabama until

April; then marched to Columbia, Tenn., remaining there a few weeks; then started

to join General Sherman for the Atlanta campaign, passing through Stevenson, Ala.,

May 6, and camping at foot of Sand Mountain, 7 miles from Bridgeport.

Moved over Sand Mountain through Trenton into Georgia, in Lookout Valley;

thence over Lookout Mountain to Chickamauga Creek May 8; thence via lMgeoi\ Gapto Lafayette, across Taylor's Ridge to Villenow, 15 miles from Daltou, and fell in

with the army May 11.

May 14 moved towards Rome Ga., with Sherman's ^Cavalry, but the Cavalry en-

countered Forrest's Cavalry and Polk's Infantry Corps and retreated, this Regimentbeing on foot and covering the retreat, wherein their Spencer rifles came into goodplay.

May 16, at 3 o'clock P. M., started for the front of Sherman's Army, passing onthe way the Division of Jeff. C. Davis, en route for Rome, Ga., and at 1 o'clock nextmorning camped on battle field where Logan's Corps fought for the crossing of the

Oostenaula River.

May 17, turned again and moved 18 miles toward Rome. Alay 18, continued towardRome, turned toward Kingston. Ga., and at Woodland ran into a rebel force whereAdjutant Hamlin was captured.

May 19 the Regiment moved to Rome, the rest of the Brigade going to Kingston,

where the Regiment rejoined it the same night.

May 20 the entire Brigade and Garrard's Division of Cavalry behind fortifications

at High Tower Bridge.


May 21 Captain O. F. Bane detailed as Adjutant General o£ Brigade, and Lieuten-

ant J. R. Harding relieved as Provost Marshal of Brigade, and detailed as RegimentalAdjutant.

May 23 moved 15 miles southwest to VanWert.

May 24 crossed AUatoona Mountains into valley at Dallas and overtook rear guardof Johnston's army, skirmishing heavily with them.

May 25 moved out of bivouac into line of battle on foot and held line under heavyfire until Logan's Corps came up, when mounting, moved to right flank.

May 27 dismounted behind rail piles on extreme right of army, skirmishing all day;repulsed several charges. By this time the men had acquired so much confidence in

their Spencer rifles that the single rank formation for line of battle was much better

than the double rank used to be with the muzzle loaders.

May 29, changed position during night to extreme left of army.

June 1, Regiment reported to General McPherson, and went into picket southwestof Dallas, on extreme right of army again; constant skirmishing. Covered move-ment of right wing in changing lines to rear.

June 8, on extreme left of army, at Ackworth, June 9, with Division, reconnois-

sance to Big Shanty, driving enemy into their earthworks at foot of Kenesaw moun-tain. Four men of Regiment wounded on skirmish line. June 10, moved four miles

to left of Big Shanty, holding left of army; fortified along Noonday Creek.
