The Sixty-second Infantry was organized at Camp Dubois, Anna, Ill., April 10, 1862, by Colonel James M. True. April 22, 1862, it was ordered to Cairo, Ill .; May 7, to Paducah; June 7, to Columbus; and thence, in Colonel Ditzler's Brigade, to Tennessee, where it was stationed on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, near Crocket Station, with headquarters at Kenton. Dec. 2, 1862, it moved to Jackson, Tenn., and thence to Grand Junction and Holly Springs. On the 13th, at midnight, it started for Jackson, leaving about 200 men sick and on duty at Holly Springs. About two miles from Jackson the railroad bridge was found on fire. The regiment marched to Jackson, and four miles beyond, skirmishing with the enemy. On the 20th it followed Forrest twenty miles, and on the 21st it returned to Jackson. On the 23d it marched to Mendon Station, Denmark and Toon's Station, on the Missis- sippi Central Railroad, and returned to Jackson on' the 27th. Dec. 20 Van Dorn captured Holly Springs, paroling 170 men of the Sixty-second, including the Major and three Lieutenants, and destroying all the records, papers and camp equipage of the regiment. The regiment moved from Jackson, in Colonel M. K. Lawler's Brigade, Dec. 31, 1862, in pursuit of Forrest, and reached Tennessee River, opposite Clifton, Jan. 3, 1863; but finding the enemy well posted on the opposite bank, with heavy artillery, re- turned to Jackson, Jan. 8.
On the 18th of April, 1863, the regiment was brigaded with the Fiftieth Indiana, Twenty-seventh Iowa, and First West Tennessee, in Second Brigade, Third Division, Sixteenth Army Corps, Colonel James M. True commanding brigade. The same day it moved to Lagrange. June 8, the First West Tennessee was taken out of the brigade, and the Forty-ninth Illinois and Vaughn's Bat- tery, Illinois Light Artillery, assigned in its place. Aug. 19 it

was ordered to Memphis, and on the 24th it embarked for Helena; thence, on the 28th, it took up the line of march for Little Rock. Sept. 2 it overtook General Steele's army at Brownsville, and on the 10th it met the enemy near Little Rock, driving him back and compelling the evacuation of the place.
Jan. 9, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted as a veteran organization. April 25 it moved to Pine Bluff, where it remained until Aug. 12, 1864. On that date it started to Illinois for veteran furlough, after the expiration of which it returned to Pine Bluff, arriving Nov. 25, 1864. The non-veterans of the regiment were ordered to Illinois for muster-out. April 10, 1865, the remaining veterans and recruits were consolidated into seven companies, and re- mained on duty at Pine Bluff, until July 28, 1865, when it moved by river to Fort Gibson, Cherokee Nation, where it was stationed as a part of Brigadier-General Bussey's command, in the District of the Frontier. It was mustered out at Little Rock, Ark., March 6, 1866, and ordered to Springfield, Ill., for final payment and dis- charge.

The Eightieth Infantry was organized at Centralia, Ill., in An- gust, 1862, by Colonel T. G. Allen, and mustered into United States service Aug. 25, 1862. It was ordered to Louisville, Sept. 4, and was assigned to the Thirty-third Brigade, Tenth Division, Twenty-third Army Corps, Army of the Ohio, Brigadier-General Terrell commanding brigade, Brigadier-General Jackson com- manding division, and Brigadier-General McCook commanding corps. Oct. 1, under General Buell, it marched in pursuit of Bragg, and passing through Taylorville, Bloomfield and Mackville, was engaged in the battle of Perryville, Oct. 8, losing fourteen killed and fifty-eight wounded, including Lieutenant Von Kem- mel, killed, Lieutenant Andrews, mortally wounded, and Lieuten- ant-Colonel Rodgers and Lieutenant Pace, severely wounded. Generals Terrell and Jackson were also killed. Oct. 12 it moved through Danville, Lebanon and New Market to Mumfordsville. Oct. 31 and Nov. 26 it made two marches to Cave City, and re- turned. Nov. 30 it moved via Glasgow and Hartsville to Bledsoe Creek. Dec. 26 it started in pursuit of John Morgan, marching via Scottsville and Glasgow to Bear Wallow, arriving Dec. 31.
Jan. 2, 1863, having discontinued the pursuit of John Morgan, it marched to Cave City, Bowling Green and Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 8, and Murfreesboro, Jan. 10. It was then assigned to the Fourteenth Army Corps, General J. J. Reynold's Division. March 20 the brigade under command of Colonel Hall, of 1,500 men and two pieces of artillery, while on a scout, was attacked by John Morgan and 5,000 of the enemy, but they were repulsed with

heavy loss. While the army under General Rosecrans lay at Murfreesboro, his chief-of-staff, General Garfield, conceived the idea of sending an expedition of picked . men to the rear of the rebel army situated in and around Tullahoma, to de- stroy railroads, provisions, forage, and the arsenals at Rome, Ga. Four regiments, supposed to be of the best material, insensible to danger, intrepid and daring-the Eightieth Illinois, Fifty-first and Seventy-third Indiana, and the Third Ohio-with two companies of Tennessee Cavalry, and two mountain howitzers, were picked from the whole army. Colonel A. D. Streight had charge of this pro- visional brigade and the expedition. They moved under sealed orders down the Cumberland, and up the Tennessee River to Eastport, Miss., reaching there April 19; from there marched to Tuscumbia, where they were mounted on mules with pack saddles. April 26 they left Tuscumbia. At Dug's Gap and Sand Mountain they were attacked, but repulsed the enemy, and at Sand Mount- ain captured a battery of two guns. The loss of the regiment was two killed and sixteen wounded. Captain E. R. Jones was killed, Adjutant J. C. Jones was mortally and Lieutenant Pavey seriously wounded. At Blount's farm, May 2, the enemy was again defeated; but May 3 the regiment was surrendered to a vastly superior force under General Forrest, who, contrary to stipulation, stole its blankets, watches and money. Our men were taken to Rome, and sent in cattle-cars to Atlanta. From this place the officers were sent to Libby prison, and the enlisted men, via Knoxville, Tenn., and Lynchburg, Va., to Belle Isle, near Richmond, arriv. ing May 13. After remaining prisoners some time, they were at length paroled, through mistake, with 10,000 soldiers of the Army of the Potomac. It was not intended to parole them, as they were considered guerrillas by the rebels, called Streight's Raiders, and when too late they found they were paroled with the others. They were sent to Camp Chase, Ohio, and June 23 to St. Louis, though they were never exchanged.
On the 29th they moved to Nashville, Tenn., Lieutenant Her- man Steinecke taking command of the regiment. Sept. 8 they moved to Stephenson, Ala., under command of Captain Cunning- ham. Oct. 16 the Eightieth moved to Battle Creek, Tenn. On the 23d it marched to Bridgeport and reported to General How- ard, commanding the Eleventh Army Corps. Here it was assigned to the Third Brigade, Colonel Hecker; Third Division, General Carl Schurz. On the 27th it moved up Lookout Valley, and was

present at the battle of Wauhatchie. Nov. 24 and 25 it was en- gaged in the battle of Mission Ridge. On the 29th it commenced to march to Nashville, Tenn., reaching Louisville, fourteen miles from Knoxville, Dec. 5. Longstreet having retreated, the com- mand returned, arriving at Lookout Valley, Dec. 17. This march was made without wagons, tents or baggage, and rations were for- aged from the country. The command suffered from want of cloth- ing and shoes. On the the 24th of December it was assigned to the Third Brigade, Colonel William Grose; Thirty-sixth Indiana, First Division, General D. S. Stanley; Fourth Corps, Major-Gen- eral Gordon Granger commanding.
Jan. 27, 1864, it moved from Whiteside, via Chattanooga and Cleveland, to Charleston, Tenn., and thence to Blue Springs May 8, 1864, commenced the Atlanta campaign. Our regiment participated in the battles of Dalton, Resaca, Adairsville, Cass- ville, Dallas, Pine Mountain, Kenesaw Mounta in, Marietta, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta, Jonesboro, and Lovejoy Station. Dur- ing the campaign the regiment captured about 150 prisoners, and lost twenty-five killed and sixty wounded. It camped at Atlanta, Sept. 9 and marched Oct. 3 in pursuit of Hood to Allatoona, and via Kingston to Rome; thence to Galesville, Ala .; thence, via Al- pine, Fayette and Rossville, to Chattanooga, arriving Oct. 30. It then moved to Athens, Ala., and to Pulaski, Tenn. On the 23d of November it commenced falling back to Nashville. Nov. 30 it participated in the battle of Franklin. Dec. 15 and 16 it par- ticipated in the battle of Nashville, and captured a three-gun bat- tery and 100 prisoners. Jan. 5 it arrived in Huntsville, Ala. On the 7th, Major E. N. Bates having returned, assumed command.
March 12 it moved to Knoxville, Tenn .; thence to Bull's Gap and Shield's Mill, March 28. It moved to Greenville, April 1, and from thence returned to Nashville. June 10, 1865, it was mus tered out of the service and proceeded to Camp Butler, Ill., for final pay and discharge.
Only four of the captured officers ever returned to the regiment. The Eightieth traveled 6,000 miles, and was in over twenty battles.
