THIE FOURTEENTHI ILLINOIS VOLUNTEER IN- FANTRY, VETER.IN.
This regiment was raised with nine oth- ers by Governor Yates in anticipation of a call from the President, and when the call came Illinois was ready with ten regiments to respond. The plan of Governor Yates was to raise one regiment from each of the ten congressional districts. The Sixth dis- trict contained ten counties, and each coun- ty raised one company, as follows: Com- pany .A. Captain Thompson. Cass county ; Company B. Capt. Hall. Shelby county; Company C. Captain Corman, Macoupin county : Company D. Captain Bryant. Greene county: Company E. Captain Johnson, Me- nard county: Company F. Captain Little- field, Jersey county; Company G. Captain Reiner, Sangamon county: Company H. Captain Simpson, Christian county: Com- pany 1. Captain Morris, Morgan county; Company K. Captain Cain, Scott county. Captain Johnson of Company E was pro- moted to lieutenant colonel, and Frederick Mead became captain of Company E. Cap- tain Morris, Company I, promoted major and was succeeded by Lieutenant Meacham as captain of Company I. John M. Palmer was commissioned colonel of the Four- teenth Regiment, and Robert P. Mcknight. of Greenfield, was commissioned adjutant.
The regiment was organized at Camp Dun- can, Jacksonville, May 11. 1861. Instead of the usual order of lettering companies from right to left .- A. F. D. 1. C. 11. E. K. G. B .- this regiment differed from the of any other regiment in the United States army as follows : A. C. E. G. I. K. H. F. D. B, making it the color company instead of the usual C company. Greene county's Company D was second from the left. The Fourteenth humped its back and plunged into Missouri the first move. Not meeting with sufficient resistance the Fourteenth planted itself on the west bank of the Ten- nessee river at Pittsburg Landing or Shi- Joh. Albert Sidney Johnston of the Con- federate army thrust his lead and steel into the front of the Fourteenth at Shiloh April 6 and 7. 1862. But Johnston had met a foe worthy of his steel. The Fourteenth, Fif- teenth, and Forty-sixth Illinois and the Twenty-fifth and Fifty-third Indiana con- stituted the Second Brigade, Fourth Di- vision, under command of Brig .- Gen. S. 1. Ilurlbut. Brevet Brigadier-General Veach commanded the Second Brigade. The Fifty third Indiana was detached and was doing duty at General Grant's headquarters at Savannah, Tennessee, eight miles below Shiloh at the time of the battle of April 6 and 7 but soon joined the brigade. The Fourteenth lost heavily at Shiloh. It took an active part in the siege of Corinth, Mis- sissippi, after which it went west to Grand Junction, Tennessee, to Holly Springs, Mis- sissippi, and on to Memphis, Tennessee : thence back to near Corinth to reinforce General Rosecrans, where it met the enemy at Hatchie Bridge, meeting with heavy loss and assisting materially in the defeat of the enemy. The Fifty-third Indiana, of this brigade, inet the heaviest loss of any regi-

ment in this battle. While the Fourteenth was in long and hard service, these two en- gagements constitute its heaviest battles. The Fourteenth lost 62 killed and about 186 wounded; 161 died of sickness.
