The One Hundred and Twenty-seventh was hotly engaged in the battle of Jonesboro, below Atlanta, fought by Logan's corps on the Ist of September,

its officers and men displaying the greatest gallantry and inflicting some loss upon the enemy. In this battle the killed were Sergeant J. R. Grassmire, of Company I; James Griffin, of Company H; Levi Mead, of Company F, and Francis H. Chappell, of Company D, and a number wounded.
On the 9th of September the army encamped around the captured city, the Second Division of the Fifteenth Corps occupying East Point, about six miles southwest of Atlanta. About this date Captain Gillette received his commission as major and Lieutenant Richmond was promoted captain of Company E.
The army remained in its cantonments until the beginning of October, during which period General Sherman exchanged two thousand prisoners with General Hood at Rough-and-Ready Station, below Atlanta. Among those exchanged were the boys of the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh captured on the 22d of July.
General Hood began his famous raid upon the communications of Sher- man's army about the Ist of October, and on the 3d of the month Sherman's army was in rapid pursuit of the rebel army, which consisted of twenty-five thousand infantry and ten thousand cavalry. During the pursuit of Hood and the subsequent march through Georgia and South Carolina, the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh was commanded by Captain Charles Schryver, of Com- pany F, the senior officer then with the regiment. From August 14, 1864, to April 1, 1865, Colonel Curtiss was absent from the regiment. A portion of this time he was in command of a provisional division under General Scho- field, in North Carolina. Captain Little was also absent on furlough during the same period and was in command of four hundred men under General Schofield in North Carolina during a part of the time.
The One Hundred and Twenty-seventh accompanied Sherman's army on its grand march through Georgia and the Carolinas. From Atlanta to Columbia, South Carolina, it was on detached service, during which time it reported directly to the headquarters of the Army of the Tennessee. At Co- lumbia it returned to the division, and took part in the operations, thence on to Goldsboro, North Carolina. During the month of January, 1865, it was encamped on the great rice plantations southwest of Savannah, Georgia. It was present at the capture of Columbia, South Carolina, and in the advance upon Fayetteville, North Carolina. A number of its men were engaged in a severe skirmish, in which Francis B. Imhoff, of Company B, was killed, and R. R. Parkin, of Company I, wounded. At the severe battle of Bentonville, March 19 and 20. it was for twenty-four hours on the skirmish line, but es- caped without loss. At Goldsboro, North Carolina, the army encamped for about fifteen days, during which time it was furnished with a complete outfit of new clothing. At Goldsboro, Colonel Curtiss, Captain Little and forty or fifty furloughed men rejoined the regiment. Here also Sergeant James G. Naid was mustered in as adjutant, assuming his duties on the Ist of April, at which time Colonel Curtiss assumed command of the regiment. Captain Little was soon after detailed on detached duty.
The army left Goldsboro in pursuit of General Johnston on the 10th of April, and reached Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, on the 14th,

where it went into camp in and around the city. The Fifteenth Corps was encamped during most of the time until the last of the month about one mile north of the city.
General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered the remaining armies of the Confederacy on the 26th of April, and on the 29th the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh, in company with the Fifteenth Corps, commenced the march from Raleigh to Petersburg, Virginia, one hundred and sixty-eight miles dis- tant, which point was made in just six days, equal to twenty-eight miles a day. On the 13th of May the army passed through Richmond, and on the. 2Ist reached the vicinity of Washington, District of Columbia, and went into temporary camp on the hills west of Alexandria. The march through Virginia took the command through Petersburg, Richmond. Hanover Court House, Fredericksburg, Stafford, Dumfries and Occoquan. A portion of the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh visited Fort Darling. below Richmond, and made a flying visit to Mount Vernon, the home of Washington.
The One Hundred and Twenty-seventh took part in the grand review at headquarters and was specially complimented for its fine discipline and mili- tary bearing. During the next fourteen days the command was encamped near Fort Slocum, north of the city, where it was mustered for discharge on June 4 by Captain Potter, of the Seventieth Ohio Volunteers.
On the 7th of June the regiment left Washington for Chicago. It was finally mustered out on the 17th of June, 1865, after an arduous service of almost three years. The actual number of men finally discharged was about two hundred and forty, all that remained of the nine hundred with which the regiment left Camp Douglas in November, 1862.
