NINETY-SEVENTH ILLINOIS INFANTRY.

The 97th Ill. Inf. Reg., was organized at Camp Butler, Sprindfield, Ill., in Sept., 1862, and was mustered into the service of the United States on the 16th of that month, with the following regi- mental staff: Friend S. Rutherford, colonel; Lewis D. Martin, lieutenant- colonel; Stephen W. Horton, major; Victor Vifquain, adjutant; G. C. Cock- erel, quartermaster; Samuel Willard, surgeon, and W. M. Baker, chaplain.

On the 3d of October it started for Cincinnati,O., and from there it marched to Nicholasville, Ky., where it went into camp, and remained drilling and doing guard and police duty, until Nov. 10, when it was assigned to the division under the command of Gen. A. J. Smith, and moved to Louisville, arriving in that city, on the 15th. On the 17th in em- barked on transports, and started for Memphis. Tenn., and on arrival, went into camp, Nov. 26. Here it was as- signed to the 2d brigade, 10th division, 13th army corps, under the command of Maj .- Gen. John A. McClernand. This

force left Memphis, Dec. 20, and landed near Walnut Hill, on the Yazoo river and occupied a position on the extreme left during the battle of Chickasaw Bayou, but fortunately were not brought into the assaulting column. This was an im- potent and fruitless attack on the most superb fortifications of the south. The sluggish waters of the bayou covered the entire rebel front, behind which rose the lofty bluffs of the Yazoo. Here the labor of thousands of slaves had been devoted to the complete fortifications of the line for months, until it was perfectly ini- pregnable to the simple assault, yet General Sherman dared the awful hazard of the battle, and hurled column after column of infantry upon them in sim- ple, useless slaughter. In obedience to orders, the men plunged into the bayou, where both banks were covered by tan- gled abatis, and where the bayou pre- sents a quicksand bed 300 feet wide,con- taining water fifteen feet wide and three feet deep. The rebel rifle pits beyond were filled with sharpshooters, whose every bullet drew blood; his gunners had the range of the ford, such as it was, and poured grape and canister into their dauntless but rapidly decimated ranks. Toiling like heroes, they essayed to stem the storm until an order was received to fall back. It was raining all the time, and stung by the consciousness that they had fruitlessly thrown away many valuable lives, they retired sul- lenly from the contest. During the rainy night which followed the battle, the men of the 97th stood or lay without fire, in the swamp bordering the exe- crated bayou, but next morning they were embarked and returned to Milli- ken's Bend. On the 10th and 11th of

Jan., 1863, they took part in the reduc- tion of Arkansas Post, or Fort Hindman, as it is sometimes called, where they, as usual, displayed their high courage and valor.

On the 15th of Jan. the regiment moved down the river to Young's Point, where it remained until March 6, when it returned to Milliken's Bend, and on 15th of April, marched to Grand Gulf On the 1st of May it, together with the other troops, was engaged at Port Gib- son, Miss., and on the 16th, at Champ- pion Hills, where it did good work. The regiment arrived in the rear of Vicksburg on the 19th of May, and par- ticipated in the siege of that place until its capitulation, July 4, 1863. Scarcely had the confederate colors been hauled down on this stronghold, than General Sherman started for Jackson, Miss., where Joe Johnston was securely forti- fied, and with his column was the 97th. It participated in all the manoeuvers that led to the downfall of that place, and then returned to Vicksburg, where it remained until Aug. 25, when it em- barked for New Orleans, and went into camp at Carrollton, near that city, on their arrival at that place on the 27th. The regiment was mustered out of ser- vice July 29, 1865, at Galveston, Texas, and arrived at Camp Butler, Springfield, Ill., Aug. 13, 1865, where it received its discharge.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SECOND IN- FANTRY.

The regiment which was known as the 122d Ill. Vol. Inf. was organized at Camp Palmer, Carlinville, in Au- gust, 1862. The officers of the regi- ment were as follows: Colonel, John J. Rinaker; lieutenant-colonel, James F. Drish; major, J. F. Chapman; H. G. Kaplinger, adjutant. On the 8th of Oct. the regiment moved to Colum- bus, Ky., and from thence to Trenton, Tenn. On Nov. the 12th, companies A, D and F moved to Humboldt, that state but upon the 18th of December, the regiment was transported to Jackson, to defend that place against Forrest. They marehed in pursuit of the enemy as far as Lexington, Tenn., but returned to Jackson, December 21. In the mean- time, the enemy, under General For-

rest, captured the town of Trenton, to- gether with the sick in the hospital at that place, among whom were Major Chapman and 60 men of the 122d Illi- nois, on hearing which the balance of the regiment set out in pursuit of the enemy, December 27th. On the 31st, was engaged at Parker's Cross-roads, in connection with detachments of the 39th Iowa, 50th Ind. and 18th Ill. Inf. regiments, and captured seven pieces of artillery and 500 prisoners. The loss of the 122d was one officer and 22 privates killed and 56 wounded. Col- onel Rinaker was severely wounded. On the 17th of Feb. 1863, the regiment moved to Corinth, and on the 15th of April from Corinth, and on the 25th was engaged at Town creek. It moved to Saulsbury, June 25th, and October 30th to Iuka, Colonel Rinaker commanding the post at each place. It did efficient service, in this line of duty, the summer of 1864, companies E, H and K defend- ing Paducah against the assaults of General Forrest, repelling three attacks on Fort Anderson. June 26, 1864, it was transported to Memphis, Tenn., and was assigned to the 1st Brig., 3d Div., and joined to the command of Gen. A. J. Smith.

On the 14th of July was engaged at Tupelo, Mississippi, and met with the loss of Captain Josiah Burroughs and nine enlisted men killed and 23 wound- ed, and returned to Memphis, arriving there July 23. It was also engaged in garrison and guard duty at Holly Springs, and on the 8th of Sept. moved to Cairo, Ill .. and the 12th to Jefferson barracks, St. Louis, Mo. It was a par- ticipant in the campaign in Missouri, of this year, after General Price. The

regiment embarked for Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 24, and on the 15th and 16th of Dec. was engaged in the battle of Nashville. Hood, who had swung around Sherman's advancing army, threatened Nashville, and Gen. Thomas gathered all the men within reach, for the defense of that city, to him, and among them the 122d Ill. who did valiant service upon that sanguinary field. On the 16th, the battle raged with increas- ing fury, until Thomas ordered a grand charge, when the confederate forces were driven out of their intrenchments in headlong flight. The union cavaly thundered upon their heels with re- morseless energy, the infantry follow- ing closely behind. Almost the entire rebel army was dissolved into a rabble of demoralized fugitives, who, at last escaped across the Tennessee. The war in the west, so far as great movements were concerned, was practically at an end, but the gallant regiment whose name graces the head of this article was not through with its days of bat- tle, for, on the 3d of April, it joined the forces before Fort Blakely and on the 9th of that month participated, in the assault upon that stronghold, losing 20 killed and wounded. On the 12th it marched to Montgomery, Ala., arriving there on the 26th, where it remained until the latter part of May. June 4th, it embarked at Providence Landing, and steamed down the Alabama river to Mo- bile, where it was mustered out of the service, July 15.

253

moved to Lagrange, and on the 28th drove the enemy across the Tallahatchie river and advanced to the Yacona river. The regiment was then in the 1st Brig., Col. John E. Smith; 3d Div., Brig .- Gen. John A. Logan; of the 17th Army Corps, commanded by Maj .- Gen. James B. Mc- Pherson.

On the 13th of Feb., 1863, they moved down the Mississippi river to Lake Providence, and March 17 went into camp at Berry's landing. On the 18th of April the regiment moved to Milli- ken's Bend, and on the 25th commenced with the other troops the campaign that ended in the surrender of Vicksburg. On the 30th of April it took part in the sanguinary and hotly contested battle at Thompson's Hill, and gained imperish- able laurels. In the engagement at Ray- mond, Jackson, and Champion Hills, May 12, 14 and 16, respectively, during the entire seige of Vicksburg, including the assault on Fort Hill, they performed a heroic part. After the surrender of that redoubtable place they rested until August 31, when they entered upon the campaign to Monroe, La., and thence to Brownsville, and was engaged in the two days' battle at the latter place, on the 16th and 17th of Oct. It went into camp at Black river Nov. 7, and on the 25th engaged in a prize drill with five other regiments, and carried off the palm. At a subsequent contest for a prize banner the 124th received the flag, inscribed, "Excelsior regiment, 3d Div., 7th Corps," from the hands of Maj .- Gen. McPherson, for excelling in soldierly appearance, discipline, and drill. On the 3d of Feb., 1864, the regiment en- tered upon the famous Meridian expedi- tion, and returned to Vicksburg March4.

It was engaged at Benton on May 7 and 10, returned to Vicksburg on the 21st, and in July, moved with General Slocum on his Jackson campaign, and was engaged in the sharp fight at Jack- son Cross Roads the 5th and 7th. In October it was in the campaign to White river and Memphis. Remained at Vicksburg doing guard and provost duty until Feb. 25, 1865, when it removed to New Orleans. March 12, it embarked for Mobile, moved to Dauphin Island, and up Fish river, and commenced the siege of Spanish Fort. The regiment was the extreme left of the investing line, and, with one-half deployed as skirmishers, drove the enemy within their fortifications. The regiment was mustered out, at Chicago, Aug. 15.
