214 ADJUTANT GENEKAL's REPORT.
HISTORY OF TWENTY-FIRST INFANTRY.
This Regiment was called into the State service under the "Ten Regiment Bill." It rendezvoused at Mattoon on the 9th day of May, 1861. On the 15th
day of May it was mustered into the State service for thirty days by Captain U. S. Grant, and was known during that period of service as the Seventh Congressional District Regiment. It was composed of companies from the following counties: Company A from Macon, B from Cumberland, C from Piatt, D from Douglas, E from Moultrie, F from Edgar, G from Clay, Hfrom Clark, 1 from Crawford, and K from Jasper.
On the 28th day of June the Regiment was mustered into the United States service for three years, by Captain Pitcher, U. S. A., with U. S. Grant as Colonel. Colonel Grant continued in command of the Regiment until the 7th of August, when he was commissioned by the Presiderft Brigadier General of Volunteers, to date from May 17, 1861, when he assumed command of the District of Southeast Missouri, with headquarters at Cairo. We append a memorandum made by that great captain, who fought his last fight on earth at 8:08 A. M., Thursday,. August 23, 1885, at Mount McGregor, New York:
1 was appointed Colonel of the Twenty-first Illinois Volunteer Infantry by Governor Richard Yates, some time early in the month of June, 1861, and assumed command of the Regiment on the 16th of that month. The Regi- ment was mustered into the service of the United States in the latter part of the same month. Being ordered to rendezvous the Regiment at Quincy, Illi-
nois, I thought, for the purpose of discipline and speedy efficiency for the field, it would be well to march the Regiment across the country, instead of transporting by rail. Accordingly, on the 3d of July, 1861, the march was commenced from Camp Yates, Springfield, Illinois, and continued until about three miles beyond the Illinois river, when dispatches were received, chang- ing the destination of the Regiment to Ironton, Missouri, and directing me to
return to the river and take a steamer, which had been sent there for the pur- pose of transporting the Regiment to St. Louis. The steamer failing to reach the point of embarkation, several days were here lost. In the meantime a portion of the Sixteenth Illinois Infantry, under Colonel Smith, were reported surrounded by the enemy at a point on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, west of Palmyra, and the Twenty-first was ordered to their relief. Under these cix'cumstances, expedition was necessary; accordingly the mai'ch was abandoned, and the railroad was called into requisition. Before the Twenty- first reached its new destination, the Sixteenth had extricated itself. The Twenty first was then kept on duty on the line of the H. & St. Jo. R. R. for
about two weeks, without, however, meeting an enemy or an incident worth relating. We did make one march, however, during that time, from Salt
River, Mo., to Florida, Mo., and returned, in search of Tom Harris, who was reported in that neighborhood with a handful of rebels. It was impossible, however, to get nearer than a day's march of him. From Salt River the Regiment went to Mexico, Mo., where it remained for two weeks; thence to
Ironton, Mo., passing through St. Louis on the 7th of August, when I was assigned to duty as a Brigadier General, and turned over the command of the Regiment to that gallant and christian officer. Colonel Alexander, who after-
wards yielded up his life whilst nobly leading it in the battle of Chickamauga.
U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General.
TWENTY-FIRST INFANTRY. 215
It will ever be a pleasing thought with the men who composed this gallant
Regiment to remember that the man who fii'st led them in defense of their
countrj^'s flag became the most illustrious soldier and distinguished citizen of
the age and generation in which he lived.
Lieutenant Colonel John W. S. Alexander assumed command of the Regi- ment at the promotion of Colonel Grant.
After the arrival of the Regimeat at Ironton, it remained in camp several
weeks receiving instruction in company and battalion drill; made reconnois-
sance with the Twenty-fourth Illinois Infantry as far as Marble Creek, in the
direction of Greenville, where the Rebel General Hardee was discovered with a large force; went into camp at Marble Creek; remained about two weeks. On the 23d of August, Lieutenant Colonel John W. S. Alexander was unani- mously elected Colonel by the line officers of the Regiment, vice Grant, pro-
moted. Returned to Ironton, where the Regiment remained until October 17,
when it marched to Fredericktown; supporting Walker's Squadron of the
First Indiana Cavalry; discovered the Rebel Jeff. Thompson in force; re-
turned to Ironton; on the 20th, with the Thirty-eighth Illinois Infantry and First Indiana Cavalry, marched to Fredericktown, arriving on the morning of
October 21st, and participated in the battle at that place. Beturued to Iron-
ton and remained there until January 29, 1862: marched to Greenville; re-
mained there until March, and from thence moved to Rive's Station, on Black River, arriving there March 11 or 12. Here the troops, consisting of Twenty- first, Thirty-third and Thirty-eighth Illinois Infantry, Eleventh Wisconsin In-
fantry, Fifth, Seventh and Ninth Illinois Cavalry, First Indiana Cavalry, and Sixteenth Ohio Battery, were organized into the Division of Southeast Mis- souri, under command of Brigadier General F. Steele. First Brigade, Colonel Carlin commanding, consisted of Twenty-first and Thirty-eighth Illinois In-
fantry, Fifth Illinois Cavalry, and Sixteenth Ohio Battery.

April 30, marched for Jacksonport, Arkansas, arriving May 4.
May 10, the Twenty-first and Thirty-eight were ordered to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, 220 miles distant. This march was made in ten days, a day and a half of which time was spent in ferrying Black and Current rivers. Arrived at Cape Girardeau May 21. On this day the two columns, under Jeff. C. Davis and Colonel Carlin, were marching on converging roads, each striving for
the right of way at intersections. Carlin's column gained the right of way; his advance guard, being under Lieutenant Vance, of the Twenty-first In-
fantry, marched 28 miles, by mile posts, in six hours and thirty minutes. Arrived at Hamburg Landing May 24. Moved to the front, and were before Corinth during the last days of the siege—in Second Brigade Fourth Division Left Wing, Army of Mississippi, Colonel Carlin commanding Brigade, Briga- dier General Jeff. C. Davis commanding Division, and Major General John Pope commanding Army of Mississippi.
Marched to Danville, Booneville, back to Corinth, and to Jacinto. During the last of June, marched to Ripley, and returned by forced marches, arriv-
ing July 4, 1862. Remained in camp until August 14. when marched with the Division to join the Army of the Ohio, under General Buel. Passing through luka, Mississippi, crossed the Tennessee at Easlport; thence marched, via
Florence, Alabama, Lawrenceburg, Mt. Pleasant, Columbia, Franklin, Mur- freesboro and Nashville, Tennessee, Bowling Green, Mumfordsville, Eliza-
bethtowu and West Point, Kentucky, arriving at Louisville, Kentucky, Sep- tember 26, 1862, having marched night and day, about 500 miles.
October 1, marched from Louisville, in the Thirty-first Brigade, Ninth Division, Army of the Ohio—Colonel Carlin commanding Brigade, and General Robert B. Mitchell commanding Division.
October 8, engaged in battle of Perryville and Chaplin Hill. Company F, Captain David Blackburn, was the first in Perryville. Was honorably men- tioned in General Mitchell's report of the battle. Joined in pursuit of Bragg as far as Crab Orchard, and then marched through Lancaster. Danville,
Lebanon and Bowling Green, to Edgefield Junction, near Nashville, arriving
November 9.

214 ADJUTANT GENEKAL's REPORT.
HISTORY OF TWENTY-FIRST INFANTRY.
This Regiment was called into the State service under the "Ten Regiment Bill." It rendezvoused at Mattoon on the 9th day of May, 1861. On the 15th
day of May it was mustered into the State service for thirty days by Captain U. S. Grant, and was known during that period of service as the Seventh Congressional District Regiment. It was composed of companies from the following counties: Company A from Macon, B from Cumberland, C from Piatt, D from Douglas, E from Moultrie, F from Edgar, G from Clay, Hfrom Clark, 1 from Crawford, and K from Jasper.
On the 28th day of June the Regiment was mustered into the United States service for three years, by Captain Pitcher, U. S. A., with U. S. Grant as Colonel. Colonel Grant continued in command of the Regiment until the 7th of August, when he was commissioned by the Presiderft Brigadier General of Volunteers, to date from May 17, 1861, when he assumed command of the District of Southeast Missouri, with headquarters at Cairo. We append a memorandum made by that great captain, who fought his last fight on earth at 8:08 A. M., Thursday,. August 23, 1885, at Mount McGregor, New York:
1 was appointed Colonel of the Twenty-first Illinois Volunteer Infantry by Governor Richard Yates, some time early in the month of June, 1861, and assumed command of the Regiment on the 16th of that month. The Regi- ment was mustered into the service of the United States in the latter part of the same month. Being ordered to rendezvous the Regiment at Quincy, Illi-
nois, I thought, for the purpose of discipline and speedy efficiency for the field, it would be well to march the Regiment across the country, instead of transporting by rail. Accordingly, on the 3d of July, 1861, the march was commenced from Camp Yates, Springfield, Illinois, and continued until about three miles beyond the Illinois river, when dispatches were received, chang- ing the destination of the Regiment to Ironton, Missouri, and directing me to
return to the river and take a steamer, which had been sent there for the pur- pose of transporting the Regiment to St. Louis. The steamer failing to reach the point of embarkation, several days were here lost. In the meantime a portion of the Sixteenth Illinois Infantry, under Colonel Smith, were reported surrounded by the enemy at a point on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, west of Palmyra, and the Twenty-first was ordered to their relief. Under these cix'cumstances, expedition was necessary; accordingly the mai'ch was abandoned, and the railroad was called into requisition. Before the Twenty- first reached its new destination, the Sixteenth had extricated itself. The Twenty first was then kept on duty on the line of the H. & St. Jo. R. R. for
about two weeks, without, however, meeting an enemy or an incident worth relating. We did make one march, however, during that time, from Salt
River, Mo., to Florida, Mo., and returned, in search of Tom Harris, who was reported in that neighborhood with a handful of rebels. It was impossible, however, to get nearer than a day's march of him. From Salt River the Regiment went to Mexico, Mo., where it remained for two weeks; thence to
Ironton, Mo., passing through St. Louis on the 7th of August, when I was assigned to duty as a Brigadier General, and turned over the command of the Regiment to that gallant and christian officer. Colonel Alexander, who after-
wards yielded up his life whilst nobly leading it in the battle of Chickamauga.
U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General.
TWENTY-FIRST INFANTRY. 215
It will ever be a pleasing thought with the men who composed this gallant
Regiment to remember that the man who fii'st led them in defense of their
countrj^'s flag became the most illustrious soldier and distinguished citizen of
the age and generation in which he lived.
Lieutenant Colonel John W. S. Alexander assumed command of the Regi- ment at the promotion of Colonel Grant.
After the arrival of the Regimeat at Ironton, it remained in camp several
weeks receiving instruction in company and battalion drill; made reconnois-
sance with the Twenty-fourth Illinois Infantry as far as Marble Creek, in the
direction of Greenville, where the Rebel General Hardee was discovered with a large force; went into camp at Marble Creek; remained about two weeks. On the 23d of August, Lieutenant Colonel John W. S. Alexander was unani- mously elected Colonel by the line officers of the Regiment, vice Grant, pro-
moted. Returned to Ironton, where the Regiment remained until October 17,
when it marched to Fredericktown; supporting Walker's Squadron of the
First Indiana Cavalry; discovered the Rebel Jeff. Thompson in force; re-
turned to Ironton; on the 20th, with the Thirty-eighth Illinois Infantry and First Indiana Cavalry, marched to Fredericktown, arriving on the morning of
October 21st, and participated in the battle at that place. Beturued to Iron-
ton and remained there until January 29, 1862: marched to Greenville; re-
mained there until March, and from thence moved to Rive's Station, on Black River, arriving there March 11 or 12. Here the troops, consisting of Twenty- first, Thirty-third and Thirty-eighth Illinois Infantry, Eleventh Wisconsin In-
fantry, Fifth, Seventh and Ninth Illinois Cavalry, First Indiana Cavalry, and Sixteenth Ohio Battery, were organized into the Division of Southeast Mis- souri, under command of Brigadier General F. Steele. First Brigade, Colonel Carlin commanding, consisted of Twenty-first and Thirty-eighth Illinois In-
fantry, Fifth Illinois Cavalry, and Sixteenth Ohio Battery.

May 10, the Twenty-first and Thirty-eight were ordered to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, 220 miles distant. This march was made in ten days, a day and a half of which time was spent in ferrying Black and Current rivers. Arrived at Cape Girardeau May 21. On this day the two columns, under Jeff. C. Davis and Colonel Carlin, were marching on converging roads, each striving for
the right of way at intersections. Carlin's column gained the right of way; his advance guard, being under Lieutenant Vance, of the Twenty-first In-
fantry, marched 28 miles, by mile posts, in six hours and thirty minutes. Arrived at Hamburg Landing May 24. Moved to the front, and were before Corinth during the last days of the siege—in Second Brigade Fourth Division Left Wing, Army of Mississippi, Colonel Carlin commanding Brigade, Briga- dier General Jeff. C. Davis commanding Division, and Major General John Pope commanding Army of Mississippi.

bethtowu and West Point, Kentucky, arriving at Louisville, Kentucky, Sep- tember 26, 1862, having marched night and day, about 500 miles.
