From Fort Donaldson it proceeded to Fort Henry, when it embarked on transports and proceeded up the Tennessee. The first battle in which it took part was at Pittsburg Landing on the 6th and 7th of April, 1862, where it lost in killed and wounded one-half the command, and the regimental colors were pierced with forty-two bullets. General Veatch, commanding brigade, in his official report made the following statement : "Colonel Hall, of the Fourteenth Illinois, led with his regiment that gallant charge on Monday evening, which drove the enemy beyond our lines and closed the struggle of that memorable day." It took an active part in the siege of Corinth, thence went to Memphis and later to Bolivar, Tennessee.
October 4, 1862, the Fourth Division, under Hurlbut, was ordered to pro- ceed to Corinth to relieve the beleagured garrison, but before that place was reached Rosecrans had punished the enemy and they met the retreating rebels at the village of Matamora, on the river Hatchie. The Fourteenth Illinois in its eight hours' fight, sustained its high reputation. After a march into north- ern Mississippi under McPherson, it went into winter quarters at LaFayette, Tennessee. It was at Vicksburg and in the expedition to Jackson. After ardu- ous marches to Natchez, thence across to Harrisonburg, it captured Fort Beau- regard. After the return a large portion reenlisted as veterans. After a fur- lough it formed a part of the advance on Atlanta. Here it was consolidated with the Fifteenth into the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Illinois Veteran Bat- talion. In October, 1864, when General Hood made his demonstration against Sherman's rear, a large number of the battalion' were killed and the greater part of the remainder were taken prisoners and sent to Andersonville. Those who were not captured were mounted and acted as scouts on the march to the sea. At Goldsboro, North Carolina, in the spring of 1865, the battalion organi- zation was discontinued. The two regiments were filled up and Colonel

Hall was again put in command of the Fourteenth. After the capitulation of Johnson, the regiment marched to Washington and on the 24th of May took part in the grand review of Sherman's army. It then proceeded by rail and river to Louisville, thence by river to Fort Leavenworth, and to Fort Kearney and back, and was mustered out at Fort Leavenworth, September 16, 1865, arriving in Springfield, Illinois, on the 22d of September, where it received final payment and discharge.
The aggregate number of men belonging to this regiment was 1,980; aggre- gate mustered out at Fort Leavenworth, 480; during the term of service it marched 4,490, traveled by rail, 2,330, and by river, 4,490 miles, making an aggregate of 11,310 miles.
In the fall of 1861 General John M. Palmer, first colonel of the Fourteenth Regiment, was appointed brigadier general. He served in the army under Hunter and Pope in Missouri and also commanded a division in Pope's expedi- tion against Island No. 10. His command formed a part of Pope's army, when he joined Halleck's command in his operations against Corinth in 1862, and also participated in the battle of Farmington. After the battle of Murfrees- boro, December 31, 1862, he was promoted to major general, where he dis- tinguished himself and also did signal service for his country in the battle of Chickamauga.
The officers of this regiment were: Drum major, William P. Emory; ad- jutant, C. Ward Lang; first assistant surgeon, Samuel A. Davidson.

THIRTY-FIRST INFANTRY REGIMENT.

Private, William H. McCoy.
THIRTY-SECOND INFANTRY.
Companies A and C and a portion of I were recruited in Macoupin county by Colonel John Logan. Henry Davidson was captain of Company A, and Thad- deus Phillips captain of Company C, while Samuel Cummings from this county served as first lieutenant. This regiment was mustered into service, December 31, 1861. It bore a distinguished part in the battle of Shiloh and lost in killed forty, while two hundred men were wounded. It was engaged in the advance on Corinth and on the 5th of October, 1862, took part in the battle at Matamora. It did good service here and lost seven killed and five wounded. On the 8th of November in a forced march southward from Lagrange it surprised and cap- tured over one hundred rebel cavalry at Lamar and routed the enemy. After many hard marches, part of the time being on short rations, in March, 1863, they moved to Memphis and remained until May II, when they moved to Young's Point. On the 15th they joined the division ten miles below Vicksburg; from there went to Grand Gulf, where they were detained a few days as garri- son ; June 12 the post was abandoned and the regiments joined the division on the lines around Vicksburg; engaged in the siege until June 27, when Colonel Logan with his regiment, the One Hundred and Fourteenth Ohio, and one sec- tion of artillery, was ordered to command the post at Warrenton, which was the extreme left of the line. It rejoined the brigade on the 4th of July and on the 5th marched with Sherman's army toward Jackson, a very trying march. After hard service and skirmishing and the capture of a battery of nine pieces of artil- lery, on the 3d of January, 1864, it moved to Vicksburg, where it was mustered as a veteran organization. It went on a furlough and on the 28th reassembled at Camp Butler, moving thence to Bird's Point, Missouri. June 12, 1864, the siege of Kenesaw Mountain commenced and the Seventeenth Corps occupied the left of the line and the Thirty-second Regiment occupied the exposed posi- tion on the advance. July 2d, 4th and 5th, it was transferred to the right of the line, and on the 5th when the Fourth Division assaulted the enemy, the Thirty- second was the first to plant its colors on the works. July 18th the regiment was transferred to the First Brigade, of which Colonel Logan took command. While guarding supplies at Marietta a party of fifty men under Lieutenant Camp- bell, while foraging, after a spirited resistance were captured, only nine escap- ing. On the 3d the enemy attacked the line near Kenesaw Mountain, killing and capturing twelve men. The regiment remained near Marietta until the march to the sea began, when, on the 13th of November, it moved from that place and moved from Atlanta, November 15, 1864. In the siege of Savannah Captain Lawson and four men were wounded. The regiment suffered greatly from lack of food. It remained in camp at Savannah, Georgia, until December 5. 1865, when it embarked at Thunderbolt for Beaufort. February 3d the division waded the Salkahatchie river, two miles wide and from two to five feet deep and ice cold, and after a half hour's skirmishing on the opposite bank, compelled the
180

enemy to evacuate their strong line of defense. Colonel Logan was absent dur- ing these two campaigns on court martial duty at Louisville, Kentucky, and Cap- tain Rider, afterward lieutenant colonel, commanded the regiment. It took part in the grand review at Washington, May 24, 1865. It then moved to Parkers- burg, Virginia, thence to Louisville, thence westward by way of St. Louis and Fort Leavenworth to Fort Kearney, Nebraska, arriving on the 13th of August. It returned to Fort Leavenworth September 2d and on the 16th was mustered out there and ordered to Camp Butler for final payment and discharge. While in service it traveled 11,000 miles and its record makes glorious a page of the history of the state.
