FORTIETH INFANTRY.
On the 15th of November, 1862, this regiment mustered into the service about 900 strong at Iowa City. Moving to Cairo by rail they embarked for Columbus, Ky., which place they reached on the night of the 18th. Here they remained, suffering from disease and many hardships of camp life during the following winter, until March 3, 1863, when they removed to Paducah, where they were comfortably quartered for nearly three months. On the last day of May they left for Yazoo river country, and in the cam- paign of Vicksburg were stationed along that miasmatical stream, which greatly reduced the force of the regiment by disease. Pestilential Helena, the army's next quarters, was but little better. August 13 the command

joined in the expedition against Little Rock. Entering the city triumph- antly September 10, they remained there until March 23, 1864, save the time spent in several important and rather disastrous expeditions through Arkansas. In the battle of Jenkins' Ferry the regiment did not, at any time, engage in a body. Companies HI, E, K and G did most of the regi- ment's hard fighting in this combat, and suffered quite severely. The Fortieth had its share in the sad and trying retreat to Little Rock. Hun- ger, disease and death preyed upon the brave men who were engaged, half starved, in building corduroy roads and marching in mire half way to their knees.
The command remained most of the time at Little Rock until the fol- lowing February, when Brigadier-General Bussey, at Ft. Smith, asked the department command to send him a " first-rate regiment." The Fortieth was ordered to Ft. Smith as filling that description. Some time after the regiment was assigned to Ft. Gibson, and saw no further warfare until their country was saved and their services no longer needed.
NOTE .- This regiment was mustered out at Ft. Gibson August 2, 1865. Officers not other- wise accounted for, mustered out as with the regiment.
