SIXTY-FIRST ILLINOIS INFANTRY.
During the winter of 1861-2, a move- ment was put on foot at Carrollton, III., to organize a regiment of men from Greene and adjoining counties, by Jacob Fry and others. Three full companies were mustered into the service, Feb. 5, 1862. On the 21st of the same month, the regiment, still uncomplete, was ordered to Benton Barracks, where re- cruits enough were received to make nine full companies. Here the regi- ment completed its organization, with the following staff officers: Jacob Fry, lieutenant-colonel, commanding; Simon P. Ohr, major; F. M. Posey, adjutant; Francis P. Vedder, quartermaster; Leo- nidas Clemmons, surgeon; Edward Rut- ledge, chaplain. On the 26th of March, 1862, the regiment embarked for Pitts- burgh Landing, where our troops lay, and upon their arrival there were as- signed to the brigade commanded by Col. Madison Miller, of the 18th Mo., in the division of Brig. Gen. B. M. Prentiss. On the morning of Sunday, April 6, 1862, came the impending con- flict, the fierce and sanguinary battle of Shiloh, so often and so well described, that it is not necessary to give any ex- tended history of it here. Some 400 men of the 61st were formed in line in time to receive the first assault of the confederate soldiers, the forerunner of the general engagement that struck Gen. Prentiss' division first, as it was the most advanced in that part of the field. The 61st stood their ground right manfully for about an hour and a quarter, and until every other regiment in the division had given way, when it was ordered to retire. Upon falling back from this position, it was highly con-

plimented by Gen. Prentiss, for its gal- lant stand, and when it is remembered that these were entire raw, green troops, scarcely a month from their peaceful homes, the verdict will be that they deserved high credit for their gallantry. The regiment was then detached from Prentiss' division, and ordered to the support of the 1st Mo. Batt'y, which saved it from the disaster that compelled the surrender of the brave and daunt- less division of Gen. Prentiss, and its commander, who so long had stood in the front and gave our troops time to make a new disposition of their forces. The 61st, at one o'clock in the afternoon, were ordered to the support of Gen. Stephen A. Hurlbut's hardly pressed division, coming upon the ground at a very critical moment, and helped main- tain his line until relieved by a fresh regiment, and when its ammunition was entirely exhausted. When the second line broke, the regiment retired in good order, and took a position supporting the heavy battery of siege guns. Its loss upon this bloody day was 80 killed, wounded and missing, including First- Lieut. David G. Culver, of Co. A, killed, and two other commissioned officers, wounded. On the 7th of April, when our forces victoriously swept the enemy from the field, the 61st, resting on its well earned laurels, was in the reserve.
On the 18th of April, the 61st was as- signed to the 1st Brig., commanded by Col. L. F. Ross, of the 17th Ill., and in the 3d Div., which was shortly after placed under command of John A. Logan, then brigadier-general. On the 6th of June the brigade moved, in obe- dience to orders, to Bethel, Tenn., un- der the command of Col. Haynie, of the
48th Ill. Inf. On the 16th they moved to Jackson, and on the day following, being placed in Ross' Brig. of Logan's Div., again moved to Bolivar, Tenn. On the 16th of Sept., 1862, they traveled by rail to Brownsville, Miss., by the way of Jackson and Corinth, and re- turned to Bolivar, after the battle of Iuka, Sept. 25.
On the 10th of Oct. Brig .- Gen. M. Bray- man was assigned to the command of the brigade, and Lieut .- Col. Fry, of the 61st, ordered to take command of the post at Trenton, where, Dec. 20, he was captured by Gen. Forrest, and paroled. The brigade remained at Bolivar, the general commanding having charge of the post. Dec. 18, 1862, a part of the men of the regiment, to the number of 240, proceeded to Jackson, by rail, and from there moved out on the Lexington road, with the 43d Ill. Inf. and a detach- ment of cavalry, all under command of Col. Engelman. They took a position
at or near Salem cemetery, and here, on the morning of the 19th, met and re- pulsed the enemy under Gen. Forrest, with three pieces of artillery, and on receiving re-inforeements from Gen. Sullivan, pursued the Confederates some distance. They then returned to Boli- var.
On the 21st of May, the regiment, with the balance of the 16th corps, moved to Vieksbnrg by rail, via Mem- phis, and from thence by transports. On the 3d of June it reached Chicka- saw, and from that time took part in all the siege operations. On the 4th they went up the Yazoo river, with an expe- dition, landed at Sartartia, and march- ing four miles out, to Mechanicsburg, captured some prisoners. On the 6th

they were ordered to Haynes' Bluff, where they remained until the 20th, when they were moved to Snyder's Bluff. Lieut .- Col. Fry having resigned the command of the regiment, and his commission, Maj. Simon P. Ohr was appointed to fill the vacancy, to take rank from May 14, 1863.
On the 17th of July the regiment moved to Black River Bridge, but on the 22d returned to Snyder's Bluff. where it remained until the 27th, when it proceeded to Helena, Ark. On the 13th of August, the regiment was as- signed to the column of Maj .- Gen. Steele, destined for the capture of Lit- tle Rock, and started via Duvall's Bluff and Brownsville for the capital of Ar- kansas, skirmishing with the enemy after leaving Brownsville, but reaching Little Rock Sept. 10, which they en- tered next day. It may not be generally known that this Arkansas expedition of Gen. Steele's was one of the most de- structive of life, of any campaign, of equal duration, during the war. Steele started with 1,200 men, and received re- inforcements of at least three brigades, making at least 15,000 effective men. Of this force, 100 would cover all his loss in killed and wounded, and yet, by the time he had possession of Little Rock, and was fairly settled down to his gambling and horse-racing, he had barely 5,100 effective men. Of Gen. Steele, the writer has the best authority for saying, that he had no sympathy in common with the Union soldier, save his opposition to the abstract idea of secession.
The regiment was mustered out at Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 8, 1865, and ar- rived at Camp Butler, Springfield, Ill.,
on the 12th of the same month, where they received final pay and discharge.

The 91st Ill. Inf. Regt. was organized at Camp Butler, Ill, in Sept., 1862, by Col. Henry M. Day, and was mustered in Sept. 8, 1862.
It was ordered to Louisville, Ky., Oct. 1, and was assigned to duty, guard- ing the L. & N. R. R., in Gen. Gilbert's division.
On Dec. 27, 1862, at Elizabethtown, Ky., after a fierce engagement, the regi- ment was captured by Morgan, and after being paroled, was sent to Benton Bar- racks, Mo.

HISTORY OF GREENE COUNTY.
July 24, 1863, having been exchanged, it arrived at Vicksburg, Miss. It moved to Port Hudson on the 26th. Aug. 12 it marched to Carrollton, La. Embarking for Morganzia Sept. 6, it arrived there on the 6th, and moved out toward Atch- afalaya river. It had a skirmish with the enemy under Col. Greene, losing six or seven wounded. The enemy was re- pulsed. On Oct. 10, it moved to Mor- ganzia.
The regiment was in the 2d Brig., Col. H. M Day commanding; 2d Div., Maj .- Gen. N. J. T. Dana commanding, of the 13th A. C. It embarked for New Orleans, going into camp Oct. 12.
The 91st was then transferred to the 1st Brig., and embarked, Oct. 22, for Brownsville. It landed at Brazos San- tiago, Nov. 3, and at once proceeded to Brownsville, capturing the fort and city, and driving the enemy, under Gen. Bee, from that part of Texas.
In July, 1864, the division was or- dered to leave Texas, and the 91st Ill. Inf., and two regiments of colored troops, were left at Brazos Santiago, as garrison, Col. Day commanding the post.
About the last of December, the regi- ment was relieved by the 34th Ind. Inf., and sent to New Orleans, where they were placed on provost duty, and was assigned to the 2d Brig., 3d Div., 13th A. C.
In February, the 91st Ill. Inf. joined the corps at Fort Morgan, Col Day being placed in charge of the brigade.
Toe 91st Ill. Inf., also took an active part in the campaign which resulted in the capture of Spanish Fort and Fort Blakeley, and caused the surrender of Mobile.
After the surrender of Mobile, the division moved up the Tennessee river, some 60 miles, in pursuit of the enemy, and overtook the rear guard at Eight- Mile creek, the 91st Ill. Inf. being in advance. At this place a sharp en- gagement took place, the enemy being driven from the field at the point of the bayonet, the regiment losing a few men wounded. This engagement was probably the last one of the war, east of the Mississippi river.
The regiment was mustered out of service July 12, 1863, at Mobile, and arrived at Camp Butler, III., July 22, when it received final payment and dis- charge.

133D ILLINOIS INFANTRY.
During the summer of 1864, Gens. Grant and Sherman being actively en- gaged with large armies against the enemy, the governors of the northwest- ern states proposed to the authorities of the war department, to send into the field a considerable number of troops for a short term of service, who might relieve others on guard and garrison duty at the rear, thus adding largely to the force of drilled and disciplined men at the front. This proposition, after a time, was accepted, and the term of service was placed at 100 days. The governor of this state issued a procla- mation for the requisite number of men, who were soon forthcoming. The 133d Ill. Inf. was organized under this call, at Camp Butler, Springfield, Ill., by Col. Thaddeus Phillip, and mustered into the service for 100 days, May 31, 1864.
On the 3d of June, the regiment was moved to Rock Island barracks, and was assigned to the duty of guarding prisoners of war. The regiment per-

formed its duty faithfully and efficient- ly during its term of service, and was mustered out Sept. 24, 1864, at Camp Butler.
