19th Infantry.
The 19th was enrolled Tune 4, 1861 ; mustered in for three years' service, at Chicag ,, June 17. Part of the regiment first moved to Cairo, where their duty was chiefly guarding railroad property. John B. Turchin was appointed Colonel ; Jas. R. Scott, Lieutenant Col- onel ; Frederick Harding, Major ; C. C. Miller, Adju- tant; and H. W. Wetherell, Quartermaster. The officers of the Chicago companies had een members of the renowned Ellsworth Zouaves. The regiment left Chicago July 5, for Palmyra, Mo., where they received some notoriety on account of foraging on the enemy. In August they joined Pope's Command, and moved to Pilot Knob; thence to Cape Girardeau ; thence toward Columbus, Ky. September 15 were ordered to join Army of the Potomac. On the way, about eighty- four miles west of Cincinnati, on Ohio & Mississippi R. R., a bridge gave way, after the engine and two cars had passed. The six following passenger coaches were precipitated a distance of sixty feet. In this dis- aster the regiment lost more than in their severest battle. Detained by this accident, the regiment joined Mitchell's Division. Sherman's Army, Colonel I urchin commanding brigade, and operated in Kentucky. At the time of the battle in Shiloh, Mitchell's Division marched to Nashville, and thence to Huntsville, Ala., where they captured a large amount of rolling stock and commissary stores. The command was then scat- tered around, guarding important points. At Athens, Ala., the 18th Ohio wa , driven out by Scott's rebel cav- alry. General Turchin, with balance of brigade, re- captured the place. As many prominent citizens had derided our troops as they were being driven out of Athens, on their return the, demolished a large part of the business portion of the place. General Buel soon after visited Athens, and was easily influenced by stories of citizens, to the effect that great improprieties had been practiced by the soldiers during the sacking of the place. A c. urt martial was convened and Culonel Turchin dismissed from the service. Two days before the findings of the court martial, Colonel Turchin had be n appointed Brigadier General by the President. The 17th. as a mark of disgrace, was cut up into small squads and assigned to guarding bridges. It then moved to Nashville and placed under General Negley's com- mand. At the memorable battle of Ston- River, in a critical juncture, General Negley cried : " Who will save the left?" " The Nineteenth !" said Colonel Scott ; and forward dashed tnis heroic regiment, captur- ing four pieces of artillery, and, many say, saved the day. This command were from this time actively mov-
- -
ing over the country, principally after Bragg, ending in the battle of Chicamauga, and then Mission Ridge, in both of which the 19th distinguished itself. Thence they proceeded toward Atlanta until their term of ser- . vice expired,,when they returned to Chicago and were mustered out.
