THIRTEENTH INFANTRY.
Was recruited under the President's proclamation of July 22, 1861, and ordered to rendezvous at Camp Mcclellan, near Davenport, where the regiment was filled up, com- pletely organized and mustered into service Nov. 2, 1861. The mustering officer, Capt. Chambers, rejected a few men, but when it entered the service there were 899 names on its rolls. The number was soon increased by enlistments to 989. Maj. Marcellus M. Crocker, of the Second Regiment, was commissioned Colonel of the Thir- teenth. Milton M. Price was Lieutenant Colonel, and John Shane, Major.
Soon after organization, having been supplied with clothing, the regiment was ordered to Benton Barracks, Mo., where it remained from November 20th to Decem- ber 11th, when it was ordered to report to Gen. Pope, and was assigned to garrison duty at Jefferson City, where it remained during the Winter. The time was improved to the utmost by Col. Crocker and his command. Schools of Instruction were instituted for the officers, and regular drills for the men. Several hours each day were spent in obtaining a thorough knowledge of their duties, and every officer and private labored diligently to obtain pro- ficiency in the art of war, that they might be ready for efficient service when called upon.
In March, Col. Crocker received orders to report to Gen. Grant; and on the 8th of that month, 1862, the reg- iment left, by railroad, for St. Louis, where it embarked for Pittsburg Landing, arriving on the 23d. Col. Crocker re- ported to Gen. McClernand, commanding First Division, and with the Eleventh Iowa and Eighth and Eighteenth Illinois, constituted the First Brigade, under Col. Richard Oglesby. At Shiloh, on the first day, it was under fire for ten consecutive hours, and gallantly sustained the reputation of Iowa troops. On that day, Lieut. Col. Price and Major Shane were wounded, and the regiment lost 24 killed, 139 wounded and 9 missing. A few days after the battle of Shiloh the army was reorganized, and the Thirteenth was placed in the Sixth Division, and attached to the Third Brigade, composed of the Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa Regiments, Col. M. M. Crocker commanding, soon becoming known as the "Iowa Brigade." About this time, Lieut. Col. Price resigned, Maj. Shane was promoted to be Lieutenant Colonel, and Capt. G. M. Van Hosen became Major. The
command participated in the siege of Corinth, and became a part of the garrison at that place when evacuated by tlie rebel forces.
After remaining at Corinth two months, the regiment marched to Bolivar, Tenn., to look after the enemy, but returned to Corinth September 12th.
Its next movement was under Gen. Ord, in a march on Iuka, and returned to Corinth about the 1st of October, where it was engaged on the 3d and 4th; but although under heavy artillery fire for some time, its losses were- light. On Sunday morning, October 5th, the command joined in pursuit of the rebels, which was continued to. Ripley. On its return, the regiment reached Corinth October 11th, where it remained three weeks, when it joined in the campaign, under Gen. Grant, against Vicks- burg, via Holly Springs and Granada. It reached " Yo- cana " Creek, when, Holly Springs having been lost, the army countermarched to the frontier of Tennessee, and arrived at Memphis Jan. 13, 1863. On the 20th, it em- barked on steamers, moving down the river to Duckport, La .; but, without disembarking, returned to Milliken's Bend, where it remained a fortnight. It then moved to Providence and went into camp for two months, working much of the time on the Lake Providence Canal. While here the army was reorganized, and the Thirteenth became a part of the First Division, Seventeenth Corps, observation, Gen. McPherson commanding. Shortly after, Col. Crocker was promoted to be a Brigadier General, when Lieut. Col. Shane was commissioned Colonel of tlie- regiment.
During most of the campaign at Vicksburg, the Iowa Brigade performed much extra service, involving hard labor and calling for tough marching qualities, and ac- quired the sobriequet of "Crocker's Grayhounds." It was a part of Sherman's army of ? and July 4, 1863, wŁen Vicksburg was being surrendered to Grant's victo- rious army, the Thirteenth was skirmishing with John- ston's rebels, at Big Black River.
In August, it was engaged with a portion of the navy in wrecking and dismantling gunboats that had been sunk by rebel torpedoes in Yazoo River. It also par- ticipated in a campaign against Monroe, La., under Gen. Stevenson. September 3d, it went into quarters at Vicks- burg, where it remained four months. From February 4 to March 4, 1864, it was with tlie forces under Gen. Sher- man in the famous raid on Meridian. On its return from this raid, most of the men having re-enlisted, it was declared a veteran organization, and officers and men were given " thirty days in their own State," and were. homeward bound on the 7th of March.
April 16th, they were off to the wars again, arriving at Huntsville, Ala., May 20th, thence to Ackworth, Ga., joining Sherman's army on the 8th of June. Its first battle in the Atlanta campaign was at Kenesaw Moun- tain, and was almost continuously under fire until July 20th, when it took position before Atlanta, three miles away. On the 21st, the Iowa Brigade, under Col. Shane,. lost 226 men in twenty-seven minutes, in a splendid assault on a rebel fort. Again engaged on the 22d, and suffered severely. On the 28th, gallantly fought, having been ordered to reinforce a portion of the line hard pressed by the enemy.
It participated in Sherman's famous march to the sea, and a portion of the regiment, under Lieut. Col .. Kennedy, entered Columbia and hoisted the Stars and Stripes on the rebel capitol.
The Thirteenth, after a long and honorable career, was mustered out, paid off and disbanded at Davenport, Iowa, July 28 and 29, 1865.
[NOTE .- This regiment was mustered out at Louisville July 21, 1865.]
