HISTORY OF DU PAGE COUNTY.
succeeded Fremont the plans were changed, and the regiment returned to Rolla.
March 6th, 1862, it was sent to join the army of Gen- eral Curtis, and participated in that terrible march across the country to Helena, Ark. During this jour- ney they endured the most unparalleled suffering from thirst, heat and short rations. December 26th, 1862, the men of this regiment being considered as veterans, were placed in the advance of General Sherman's army in the attack on Chickasaw Bayou, and during the sec- ond day's fight lost their brave Colonel, John B. Wyman; and on the same day several men belonging to Company K were either killed or mortally wounded, among whom were Charles Hyde and Austin Naper, of Naperville. On the 29th the terrible charge was made on Gen. S. D. Lee's entrenchments, and the regiment lost 177 men in killed, wounded and missing. Soon thereafter they participated in the capture of Arkansas Post. They accompanied Gen. Steele in his Greenville expedition, capturing and destroying immense supplies of the enemy, and subsequently proceeded with Gen. Grant to the capture of Jackson and the siege of Vicks- burg.
They accompanied Gen. Sherman in his march from Corinth to Tuscumbia, being for one week daily engaged with the enemy. From Tennessee to Lookout Valley, they were in the rear of the 15th Army Corps.
The first division of the 15th Army Corps, of which they were a part, was temporarily assigned to General Hooker, and participated in the capture of Lookout Mountain, the battles of Mission Ridge and Ringgold

Gap. At Mission Ridge, the 13th captured more than its own number of the 18th Alabama Rebel Infantry ; carrying the 18th's battle flag in triumph from the field. At Ringgold Gap, they were the first to engage the enemy, and, refusing relief, were the last to leave the field. Here their loss was sixty-three killed and wounded.
General Hooker having described the position of the enemy at Ringgold Gap, continued thus : " Their skir- " mishers were driven in, and, as we had learned the " position of the enemy's battery, the 13th Illinois Regi- " ment was thrown forward to sieze some houses from " which their gunners could be picked off by our men. " These were heroically taken and held by that brave "regiment." After speaking of the repeated charges of the enemy to drive this regiment back, he continued : " the 13th Illinois all the time maintaining its position " with resolution and obstinacy." The General finishes his eulogy thus : " It has never been my fortune to serve " with more zealous and devoted soldiers."
Gen. Osterhaus's official report contains this language : "I ordered the 13th Illinois (which held the extreme "right) to advance rapidly over an open field, to a few " houses in front. The 13th Illinois executed the order " in magnificent style. They charged through a hail- " storm of balls, and gained the position assigned them, " and held it, although the enemy poured a murderous " fire into these brave men from the gorge in front of " the hill on the right." He concluded his allusion to the 13th thus : " The 13th remained undaunted, keeping " up a vehement fire."

HISTORY OF DU PAGE COUNTY.
In the engagement at Ringgold Gap, Captain Blan- chard, of Company K, was mortally wounded. In his effort to inspire his men, he exposed himself, perhaps, too much, and received a ball in his leg. Amputation was necessary, and his age being very much against him, he died within some eight or ten days. He was fifty-six years old when he died. He was brave and patriotic, and much beloved by his neighbors and men. His last command to his men was given after he fell : " Don't give up, boys ; fire away."
After this the 13th was assigned to the post of first regiment, first brigade, first division, fifteenth army corps ; but changed to the third division in April, as their time had nearly expired. It was the fortune of the 13th, however, to fight one more bloody battle. On the 17th of April they were completely surprised and entirely surrounded by a portion of Roddy's command, at Mission Station, Alabama. The surprise was occa- sioned by the enemy's advancing on the pickets clothed in United States uniform. After two hours hard fight- ing against odds, the regiment was compelled to abandon the station, breaking through the enemy's line. The enemy had three pieces of artillery, with from 1000 to 1500 cavalry and infantry. The 13th at this time only numbered 350 men for duty. Sixty-six pickets and skirmishers were captured by the enemy. The enemy's loss, as they reported, was sixty killed, wounded and missing.
This was the last engagement fought by these brave and faithful men, and DuPage county may feel honored and have a degree of pride that she supplied one com-

pany, or one-tenth of the men in this noble and honored regiment. The men of this regiment traveled through seven Southern States, marched over 3000 miles, and fought in twenty different battles and skirmishes. They entered the service with 1010 men, after which time they received fifty five recruits, and when mustered out they numbered 500. It is estimated that a majority re-en- listed.
