SIXTY-SIXTH I. V. I.
This Regiment was organized at Benton Barracks, Missouri, by John W. Birge, September, 1861, with eight companies. December 5th, B. S. Compton brought the ninth company, and was elected Colonel, with Birge as Lieutenant Colonel. Until this time it was known as "Birge's Sharp Shooters." but after this as "Western Sharp Shooters." It was mustered as Fourteenth Missouri Infantry. It first did active duty in Missouri. The Sixty- sixth played a very important part in the battle of Fort Donelson, in picking off the rebel gunners so thoroughly that they found it almost impossible to keep their gunners at their places, so sure were they of being hit by the "Yankee Sharp Shooters." The Sixty-sixth was in the battle of Shiloh, seige of Corinth, and battle of Corinth. It was here armed with Spencer's sixteen-shooting revolving rifles, which made them as formidable in the face of an enemy as an ordinary brigade. It was in many small engagements in the vicinity of Corinth. Marched into Tennessee, and was stationed at Pulaski. Was on Sherman's march to the Atlantic, and participated in many engagements. Marched with Sherman to Savannah, and through the Carolinas to Washington, and thence to Louisville, Ky., where it was mustered out, July 7, 1865. The men and officers of this notable regiment were from Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Michigan, about equally, with a few from Wisconsin and Maryland.
