Veteran Harrisburg 30 Mar 1864 M. O. 5 Nov 1865 as Sgt. REED, David Private Saline Co. 9 Jan 1861 Re-enlisted as veteran. Adjutant General's Report This Regiment was organized at Camp Butler, Ill., November 19, 1861. Moved to Shawneetown, Ill., November 25, 1861, and encamped until February 1862, when it moved to Paducah, Ky., and, from thence to Columbus, Ky., where the Regiment was divided-5 companies going to Trenton, Tenn., 5 to Memphis, and 2 companies remaining at Paducah and Bird's Point. During the spring and summer of 1862 the several detachments operated against the guerrillas, and were in several engagements, the most important of which was Dyersburg, Tenn., and Olive Branch and Coldwater, Miss.- in all of which it was successful, with a loss of 2 killed, 6 wounded and 1 taken prisoner. Early in the fall of 1862, the detachments were again united at Memphis, and November 26, 1862, formed the advance of General Sherman's Army Corp, in its movements south towards Grenada, Miss. In the latter part of December it was engaged, with others, in the pursuit of General Van Dorn, after his raid upon Holly Springs, engaging him for 7 consecutive days. January 1863, the Regiment returned to Lagrange, Tenn., where it went into winter quarters, and operated against the numerous bands of partizan rangers. While thus engaged the Regiment, on one occasion, surprised and routed Richardson's command, near Covington, Tenn., capturing their entire equipage, ammunition, books, papers, etc. Again, on the 29th March, a detachment of the Regiment was attacked, at midnight, by a superior force, and, although in a manner surprised, by a murderous volley poured into them while still sleeping, the command repulsed the enemy with effect-Lieutentant Wilson, and 8 men killed; Lieutenants Baker and Anderson and 29 men wounded. For the gallantry of the command a special order was issued, by General William S. Smith, complimenting officers and men. April 1863, was engaged in the famous expedition which, under Colonel B. H. Grierson, made the tour through Mississippi and Louisiana. In this expedition the Regiment traveled about 800 miles, was engaged a number of times with the enemy; destroyed a vast amount of property, and arrived safely at Baton Rouge, La., May 2, 1863, after a continuous march of 17 days. It operated under General Banks in the siege of Port Hudson, in June and July 1863. June 2, 1863, formed a part of Colonel Grierson's expedition to Clinton, La. June 3, had a heavy engagement with the enemy, and returned to or near Port Hudson, La., June 4, with a loss of 2 killed, 4 wounded and 3 taken prisoner. Port Hudson having capitulated, July 8, 1863, the Regiment embarked, July 19, on board steamers for Memphis, where it arrived the latter part of July 1863. Moved in August to Germantown, Tenn., where it encamped until November 28, 1863, when it participated in Colonel Hatch's expedition to Covington, Tenn.; then to Lagrange, Tenn., there encountering General Forrest's forces. had a sharp engagement, but discovering the enemy was flanking around in the direction of Moscow, Tenn., the expedition was ordered to Moscow, where it arrived December 4, and had a heavy engagement, the Regiment sustaining a loss of 5 killed, 6 wounded, 20 taken prisoners and 2 missing. Routed the enemy, and drove them 15 miles, and returned to Germantown, Tenn., to its old camps, where it remained, operating against Generals Forrest and Chalmer's forces, until February 17, 1864, when it formed a part of General William S. Smith's expedition to West Point, Miss. There had a 3 days engagement with General Forrest's command and returned to Germantown, where it remained in camp until March 30, 1864, when the Regiment re-enlisted, as veterans, and ordered to Illinois, on furlough. May 11, 1864, furlough having expired, the Regiment rendezvoused at Mattoon, Ill. Thence, moved to Memphis, Tenn., where it encamped until July, when 7 companies were ordered to proceed to Collierville, Tenn., to guard the railroad, until General A. J. Smith's expedition could move one and capture Guntown, Miss. Rejoined the Regiment at Memphis. Lieutenant E. Ball was killed, and 2 men captured, while on patrol duty at Collierville. August 1864, all the effective part of the Regiment joined in General A. J. Smith's expedition to Oxford, Miss. August 13, had an engagement with General Forrest's command, at Hurricane Creek, Miss. Casualties, 3 men killed, 6 wounded. The detachment that was left with the camps, at Memphis, participated in the fight with Forrest, when he made his raid into Memphis. Colonel M. H. Starr was mortally wounded, and 1 man slightly wounded, and Lieutenant Miller and 1 man captured. The Regiment returned to White Station, Tenn., where it encamped until the first of October 1864, when it composed a part of General Hatch's expedition to march through West Tennessee to Clifton, on Tennessee River. There joined General Washburn's expedition of Infantry. The Infantry disembarked and moved in the direction of Lawrenceburg, Tenn. General Hatch's Division of Cavalry composed the advance guard. After 2 days march the Infantry returned to Clifton, and the Cavalry moved on to Lawrenceburg. Thence to Savannah, Tenn., and returned to Clifton, where it remained f
