Sept. 24, 1863, the regiment received orders transferring it to the department of the Cumberland, and started at once for Louisville, Ky., via Cairo and Sandoval, Ill., and Mitchell and New Albany, Ind., arriving in Louisville Sept. 27th. On the 30th, it left Louisville via Nashville, and arrived at Bridgeport, Ala., Oct. 2d, and remained there until the 27th. This period of service is always referred to as a hard time, owing to the severe rains and destitution of tents. In fact, most of the regiment was tentless until the first of January following.
Oct. 27th, the regiment was temporarily assigned to the First Brigade, Third Di- vision, Eleventh Army Corps, and started on the march to the front, arriving next day at Lookout Valley, where, on the night of its arrival, it participated in the night battle of Wauhatchie, where by singular good fortune not a man was hurt. For nearly a month following, the regiment lay encamped in the valley, exposed to a daily shelling fron Lookout Mountain, which, during that time, killed one man and wounded another.
Nov. 27th the regiment received marching orders and proceeded to Chattanooga, where it participated in the battle of Chattanooga, losing one man, killed. Immediate- ly after the battle, it was ordered to the relief of Knoxville and participated in that se- vere march ; and finally returned to Lookout Valley, Dec. 17th. Many of the men were bare-footed, and in that condition had marched many a weary mile, over the frozen ground and sharp rocks, even as their forefathers had done in revolutionary times, leaving their blood to mark their steps.
Recruiting its strength in the valley for a few days, the regiment was then set to work building corduroy roads; after which, on the 1st of June, 1864, they were sent to Kelley's ferry, to relieve the Sixteenth Illinois, then about to return home on veteran furlough. Here the regiment remained until the last of January, when upon the com- pletion of the railroad to Chattanooga, they were ordered to Bridgeport where they went into camp, and quietly remained there until the 2d of May, when they started for the front. May 10th it marched for Snake Creek gap, reached it next day and held it two days. On the 13th, having marched through the gap, the troups were ready for action near Resaca, but were held in reserve all day. On the 14th, were again held in reserve until 3 p. m., when they started on the double-quick for the left, which was reached just in time for the brigade to render important service in the action then pro- gressing. During this engagement, it is said the One Hundred and First was ordered to take a hill in front of it, which it did in so gallant a style as to win the admiration of Gen. Hooker, who happened to be standing near, and who cheered the troops with the encouraging shout of "go in, my Illinois boys." The next day afternoon it was or- dered forward, and at four o'clock while in column, was charged by a rebel force. Both officers and men of the regiment conducted themselves gallantly and rendered valuable services, losing one man killed, six mortally wounded, and forty wounded left. Again on the 25th it got into a heavy fight at the New Hope church. Among the wounded at this place, were Adj. Padgett, Lieut. Hardin, and Lieut. (afterward Capt.) Belt, who subsequently died of wounds.
After this the regiment bore an honorable part in the various manœuvers around Kenesaw and Pine mountains, losing one killed and five or six wounded. After the rebels evacuated Kenesaw, was engaged in the pursuit, and on the 6th of July, took possession on Chattahoochie Heights, where the regiment remained eleven days.
July 17th, crossed the river, and on the 20th just after crossing Peach Tree Creek,

the rebels assailed the corps with terrible force. Forming line under fire, the enemy was held at bay, and their charges repelled until 8 p. m., when he abandoned the attack and returned to their fortifications. In this engagement five were killed and forty-five wounded. Among the killed was Capt. Thos. B. Woof. The morning report next morning, showed only one hundred and twenty effective men for duty, having left Bridgeport with three hundred and sixty-five men. August 25th, it was ordered back to Chattahoochie bridge, which the corps was to guard, while the rest of the army swung into the rear of Atlanta, Sept. 2d, the regiment was on a reconnaissance, and claims the honor of having been the first regiment that entered Atlanta, Ga., after its fall, which occurred on the second anniversary of its muster into service. It remained in Atlanta until the destruction of the place-most of the time having charge of the fire department.
Nov. 15th, started on the "grand march," and participated in all its glories, its trials and its triumphs; and whether as an advance guard, driving rebel cavalry before it, or as rear guard pulling wagons out of the mud, or corduroying roads, or unfathom- able mud-holes, the One Hundred and First Illinois always did its duty so well as to win high commendations from its brigade and division commanders. The story of that march is about the same for all regiments, and need hardly be repeated. The reg- iment reached Savannah and entered the place Dec. 22d, 1864.
Jan. 17th, 1865, crossed over into South Carolina, and went through the great cam- paign of the Carolinas, participating in the battles of Ayersboro and Bentonville, losing only one man, wounded. March 24th, entered Goldsboro, and on the 13th of April en- tered Raleigh, where the regiment remained until the final surrender of the rebel army after which, on the 30th, it started overland for Richmond, Va, which was reached May 8th ; there it remained until the 11th, when it marched through Richmond and took up the line of march for Alexandria, where it arrived on the 19th.
May 24th, participated in the "grand review," and then went into camp at Bladens- burg, where on the 7th of June it was mustered out, and started for Springfield, where, on the 21st of June, it was paid off and disbanded.
Morgan county furnished 2,732 soldiers for the Union Army, as shown by official records in the State Adjutant General's office.
Among the regiments in which were volunteer soldiers from Morgan were the 10th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 21st, 23d, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 31st, 32d, 33d, 34th 36th, 38th, 39th, 41st, 43d, 44th, 45th, 50th, 53d, 54th, 56th, 57th, 58th, 61st, 68th, 74th, 76th, 87th, 91st, 94th, 95th, 101st, 105th, 113th, 115th, 129th, 133d, 145th, 154th, 155th, Infantry ; 3d. 6th, 8th, 9th, 13th, 16th, cavalry; 1st, 2d, artillery ; 29th (colored) infantry; 13th colored infantry. There were 179 volunteers from this county in Missouri regiments, and 152 in regiments of other states.
Up to March, 1864, the county had a surplus credit of 141 over all calls for vohun- teer defenders of the Union.
As one of the incidents of the war period, was the passage through the city of an Illinois regiment with that brave and loyal, but stern, little man at its head, who had just received his colonel's commission from Governor Yates, but who afterwards re- ceived at Appomattox the swords, whose surrender indicated the collapse of the great rebellion.
July 3d, 1861, the 21st Illinois Infantry, with Colonel Ulysses S. Grant in command, broke camp at Springfield, Illinois, and took up the line of march for Quincy, Illinois. Transportation by rail had been offered, but Colonel Grant said his men would soon have to learn to march, and the arts and sciences of camp life, etc., had also to be learned, and the sooner they were properly initiated the better, for the boys will all remember the new accoutrements and knapsacks had been issued the day before, and notwithstanding the knapsacks were large, still not one of them would con- tain half the accumulations of the forty five days previous, and right well Col. Grant knew this; hence the easiest, and in fact the only way to teach the boys the first princi- ples and proper condition of a soldier in perfect marching order was to put him on the road, when a very little experience would soon induce him to dispense with all extras, confining himself to the smallest amount of wants as a soldier, and they are few, espe- cially on the march. How light and comfortable apparently were these knapsacks at
164
GRANT'S DISCIPLINE-MEXICO'S WHISKY.
2 o'clock in the afternoon, and how heavy at 5 o'clock that evening, after a march of only four miles from Camp Yates, at Springfield.
Transportation wagons gathered up all over the country and driven by their owners were in abundance; and it was well, for when the regiment halted but few soldiers had their knapsacks on, but the wagons as they came in looked more like the baggage wagons of a first-class circus or menagerie than anything else. The lesson was taught All ex tra clothing, etc.,-and almost every soldier had a spare suit, with several changes of shirts-was bundled, labeled and sent to friends at home.
The next day was the glorious old Fourth. The boys were feeling good and marched along lively. The people along the road and far in advance, had heard of their coming. A great dinner was spread with all the delicacies of the season, fit only for the lords of creation and not for soldiers; so thought Col. Grant. A committee appointed for the purpose met the advance column and informed the colonel what had been done for the "soldier boys," but Grant thanked them kindly, and said his men might be permitted to march on either side of the long lines of tables and see what good things the kind ladies of the country had brought them, but not one mouthful should they eat. Imagine, if you please, the feelings of a thousand half-fed soldiers, who had not seen or tasted a good square meal for nearly two months. Deep and bitter curses were uttered by those new made soldiers, and at one time it was thought they would rebel and disobey their commander; but a sober second thought convinced them that their colonel was right, for as he told the committee, "If I permit these men to go to those tables they will not exer- cise proper discretion, but will fill themselves with the good things, and the result will be that I shall be unable to move the regiment at all to-morrow, as they will all be sick."
The regiment went into camp on our fair grounds on the evening of the Fourth. Col. Grant took a position at the entrance gate to watch the soldiers as they passed through and to see that none of them carried whisky with them. The first to be halted was old Johnny Hanks, or more familiarly known as "Uncle Johnny." who was a boon companion of ex President Lincoln in his rail splitting days. "Uncle Johnny" was seated high on oue of the wagons and feeling unusually good, when Col. Grant said, "Uncle Johnny, you have a bottle of whisky up there, I want it." Uncle Johnny looked at the colonel but a moment, when he discovered that famous determination visible upon his countenance, and at once brought forth the treasured prize and handed it reluctantly to him, when he immediately dashed it against the post on the opposite side breaking it to pieces. The next to run the gauntlet was an old Mexican soldier who went by the name of "Mexico," and who had gone through the Mexican war with Grant, and was well-known by him. When he arrived at the gate he brought his gun from a "right shoulder shift arms" to a "shoulder," and saluted the colonel in the usual manner as he attempted to pass, but the colonel halted him and said: "Mexico, you have whisky; hand it over." Mexico denied the charge, but Col. Grant insisted that he had, and told to give him his gun, which he did. The colonel pulled the tampion out, turned the gun up, and sure enough it was full of Jacksonville's best. The gun was passed back by the colonel, with the remark, quietly, that the trick was an old one, and would do to play on new soldiers but not on old ones. Mexico proved a source of annoyance, and Grant sum - marily and without warning discharged him, at Quincy, Ill., and told him if he was ever found within the lines of the Twenty-first again he would have him arrested and confined to the end of hostilities. This was the last of Old Mexico.
On the 5th, being Saturday, they reached Naples, remaining in camp over Sunday, and on Monday crossed the river and went beyond some five miles, when orders were re- ceived to return and take the cars for Quincy. Ill., landing there on the 9th, crossing the Mississippi that evening. On the 22d, the regiment went by rail to Mexico. Mo., and re- mained until the 6th of August, when Col. Grant was commissioned Brig. Gen.
No better idea can be given of the part the county played in the bloody drama of the War for the Union than by the roll of pensioners-the names of those who incurred disease, lost limb, or whose near relatives laid down their lives for their country. This list was furnished the Journal by Public Printer Rounds in October, 1883.
