The conduct of the men on this occasion was remarkable; raw men, with- out rations, and armed with the most worthless guns, they behaved as well as veterans of a hundred battles. Remained at Fort Donelson till the afternoon of Tuesday, the 18th, when it moved on about four miles en route for Fort Henry. Camped for the night and at 7 A. M. the next day resumed the inarch and arrived at Fort Henry about noon. The roads were almost impassable and consequently the march was a most difficult one. Remaining at Fort Henry till it embarked on the transport "Boston" and went up the Tennessee with the troops commanded by Major General Smith. Arrived at Crump's Landing, about four miles above Savannah, and disembarked. Were at once moved out about eleven miles into the neighborhood of Purdy. During the march it rained incessantly. Remained all night, returning to transports about 9 P. M. Men very much exhausted. Made a capture of a few rebel pickets. Remained on transport till morning, then disembarked and went into camp about one-half mile from the landing. Remained in camp for several days, drilling and completing organization of the regiment.
On the 29th of March embarked on steamer and went up to Pittsburg Landing. Having been reassigned to the division of General C. F. Smith, was directed to report to Colonel Sweeney, of the Fifty-second Illinois, and was assigned to his brigade. Went into camp quite near the river, not over one-third of a mile distant. Proceeded to change arms, secured transporta- tion, and in every way completed the organization. On the morning of Sunday, the 6th of April, was awakened by heavy firing from the front; received orders to fall in and await further orders. About 8:30 A. M. was moved out one mile and a half, when orders were received from General Grant, in person, to take position across a road and hold that position. Imme- diately changed front and took the position as directed. With some slight changes in position, mainly to the front and perpendicular to the front, it occupied the same ground all day. From the time of going into the fight,
276

about 9 A. M., it was almost continually under fire. About 4 P. M. the right and left were giving way, but orders were imperative to hold the position. At length it became evident that unless some change was made the regiment would Le taken prisoners. The regiment stood alone. Charge after charge was made by the stubborn and determined foe. To prevent being flanked, the order was given to fall back to the brow of a hill in the rear. Arrived there, found the enemy on our rear ( now front) on all sides, and the regiment exposed to a continuous fire. Disorganized portions of regiments were then in the utmost confusion. Orders were given to forward and cut its way out. which could have been done with less loss than was suffered afterward in Southern prisons. About two thousand three hundred officers and men were captured in this fight by the enemy. The surrender did not all take place the same time. The surrender of the Fifty-eighth was made a few minutes before 6. The loss in this engagement was frightful-amounting in killed. wounded and prisoners to upwards of four hundred and fifty. More than three-fourths of those taken prisoners were wounded, and only two hundred and eighteen were taken prisoners. The fact of the regiment being taken was undoubtedly in a great measure the salvation of the army. The right and left were entirely turned, and the enemy, on one wing only, needed to know of the success of the other to press on; but while the center held out they could not know their success. And when at last this small band was forced to succumb, night closed her mantle over the scene and the haughty victors could pursue their advantage no further. Suffering all the privations and hardships which the rebels knew so well how to inflict on their helpless victims, for about seven months, the prisoners, or what was left of them, about one hundred and thirty men, were paroled and allowed to go north. The few men left in camp were strengthened by men returned from hospital and sent from the state as recruits, and participated, with credit, in all the skirmishes and Fattles consequent on the siege of Corinth. Was engaged at the battle. near Juka and lost twenty-three out of thirty-one in killed. wounded and prisoners.
In December. 1862. different detachments of the regiment were concen- trated at Camp Butler, near Springfield, Illinois. Remained at Camp Butler. recruiting and guarding rebel prisoners. until June. 1863. when the regiment was sent to Cairo to garrison that post. Remained at that place till January I. 1864-in the meantime garrisoning Mound City, Illinois, and Paducah, Ken- tucky, for the greater part of the time. Some of the companies had a skirmish near Obion River. Kentucky, in October. Companies A and B garrisoned Mayfield. Kentucky, and had several slight encounters with rebels at that place.
On the 21st of January embarked on transport and went to Vicksburg, Mississippi. Was assigned to the First Brigade, Third Division, Sixteenth Army Corps, and on the 3d of February left Vicksburg, Mississippi, for Meri- dian. Mississippi. Was the first regiment to cross the Big Black, the first to engage the enemy at Queen's IIill, and the first infantry regiment to enter Meridian, Mississippi. During this expedition the men were seventy hours with but one day's rations, with which they marched forty-seven miles and

destroyed seven miles of railroad. Returned to Vicksburg and was sent with the troops of General A. J. Smith to participate in the Red River campaign. Arrived at Simmsport on the evening of the 12th of March. Disembarked to cook, etc.
On the morning of the 13th moved out from Simmsport about five miles and took possession of two field works, which the rebels evacuated on the approach of the regiment. Returned to the boats in the evening and at 8 o'clock the same night started for Fort De Russey. Arrived at the fort, which it invested, about 4 P. M. on the 14th. A sanguinary struggle ensued, but after a stubborn resistance the enemy surrendered. The colors of the Fifty- eighth were the first planted on the works. The boats having come up, the troops were embarked and proceeded to Alexandria. After great and unnec- essary delay at Alexandria, moved up the river (by land about twenty miles, the remainder by water) to Grand Ecore; there disembarked and remained until the 7th of April, when the army of General Smith moved out on the Shreveport road, preceded two days by the Army of the Gulf. During the afternoon of the 8th heavy firing was heard in the advance and on arrival at Pleasant Hill learned that a severe engagement had taken place, in which the troops of General Banks had been signally defeated and were then falling back. A council of war having been held. it was decided to give the enemy battle and early on the following day the lines were formed. About 4 P. M. the rebels, flushed with the victory of the previous day and heavily reinforced by fresh troops from Texas, threw themselves upon the line. A brigade of Maine troops on the right was speedily driven from the ground. The Fifty- eighth occupied the extreme left of the line, and as the brigade of eastern troops gave way charged on the enemy and poured upon them an enfilading and near fire, which at once turned their flank. Following up this advantage the regi- ment captured over five hundred prisoners and recaptured from the enemy a battery belonging to the First United States Artillery, which had been taken from General Banks' troops. In this engagement the loss was very heavy. The utmost gallantry was shown, both by officers and men, and to the Fifty- eighth is due the credit of having given the first check to the foe and of taking five-sixths of the prisoners captured during the engagement. Many of the prisoners here taken were the same the regiment guarded in Camp Butler. Though the enemy was most signally defeated. the command was ordered to retreat, and at 3 o'clock A. M. on the 10th the army fell back, leaving the dead and wounded on the field, to be cared for by an enemy who was then some sixteen miles distant, retreating as rapidly as possible. Reached Grand Ecore on the 12th and went into camp.
Mustered out at Montgomery. Alabama, April 1, 1866, and ordered to Springfield, Illinois, for final payment and discharge.
