FIFTEENTH INFANTRY.
The Fifteenth Regiment Infantry, Illinois Volunteers, was organized at Freeport, Ill., and mustered into the United States service May 24, 1861-being the first regiment organized from the State for the three-years service. It then proceeded to Alton, Ill., remaining there six weeks for instruction. Left Alton for St. Charles, Mo .; thence by rail to Mexico, Mo. Marched to Hannibal, Mo .; thence by steam- boat to Jefferson Barracks; then by rail to Rolla, Mo. Arrived in time to cover Gen. Sie- gel's retreat from Wilson's Creek; thence to Tipton, Mo., and thence joined Gen. Fremont's army. Marched from there to Springfield, Mo .; thence back to Tipton ; then to Sedalia, with Gen. Pope, and assisted in the capture of 1,300 of the enemy a few miles from the latter place ; then marched to Otterville, Mo., where it went into winter quarters December 26, 1861. Re- mained there until February 1, 1862. Then marched to Jefferson City ; thence to St. Louis by rail; embarked on transports for Fort Don- elson, arriving there the day of the surrender.
The regiment was then assigned to the Fourth Division, Gen. Hurlbut commanding, and marched to Fort Henry. Then embarked on transports for Pittsburg Landing. Partici- pated in the battles of the 6th and 7th of April, losing 252 men killed and wounded. Among the former were Lieut. Col. E. T. W. Ellis, Maj. Goddard, Capts. Brownell and Wayne, and Lieut. John W. Puterbaugh. Capt. Adam Nase, wounded and taken prisoner. The regiment then marched to Corinth, participating in var- ious skirmishes and the siege of that place, losing a number of men killed and wounded.
After the evacuation of Corinth, the regiment
marched to Grand Junction ; thence to Holly Springs ; back to Grand Junction ; thence to La Grange ; thence to Memphis, arriving there July 21, 1862, and remained there until Sep- tember 6. Then marched to Bolivar; thence to the Hatchie River, and participated in the battle of the Hatchie. Lost fifty killed and wounded in that engagement. Then returned to Bolivar ; from thence to La Grange; thence, with Gen. Grant, down through Mississippi to Coffeeville, returning to La Grange and Mem- phis ; thence to Vicksburg, taking an active part in the siege of that place. After the surrender of Vicksburg, marched with Sherman to Jack- son, Miss .; then returned to Vicksburg and embarked for Natchez. Marched thence to Kingston ; returned to Natchez ; then to Har- risonburg, La., capturing Fort Beauregard, on the Washita River. Returned to Natchez, re- mained there until November 10, 1863. Pro- ceeded to Vicksburg and went into winter quarters. Here the regiment re-enlisted as veterans, remaining until February 1, 1864, when it moved with Gen. Sherman through Mississippi. On Champion Hills had a severe engagement with rebel Carney. Marched to Meridian ; thence south to Enterprise ; thence back to Vicksburg. Was then ordered to Illi- nois on veteran furlough. On expiration of furlough joined Seventeenth Army Corps, and proceeded up the Tennessee River to Clifton ; thence to Huntsville, Ala .; thence to Decatur and Rome, Ga .; thence to Kingston, and joined Gen. Sherman's Army, marching on Atlanta.
At Allatoona Pass, the Fifteenth and the Fourteenth Infantry were consolidated, and the organization was known as the Veteran Battal- ion Fourteenth and Fifteenth Illinois Infantry Volunteers, and numbering 625 men. From Allatoona Pass it proceeded to Ackworth, and was then assigned to duty, guarding the Chat- tanooga & Atlanta Railroad. While engaged in this duty, the regiment being scattered along the line of road, the rebel Gen. Hood, march- ing north, struck the road at Big Shanty and Ackworth, and captured about 300 of the com- mand. The remainder retreated to Marietta, were mounted, and acted as scouts for Gen. Vandever. They were afterward transferred to Gen. F. P. Blair, and marched with Gen. Sherman through Georgia.
After the capture of Savannah, the regi bent proceeded to Beaufort, S. C .; thence to Salka- hatchie River, participating in the various skirmishes in that vicinity-Columbia, S. C .; Fayetteville, N. C .; battle of Bentonville- losing a number wounded ; thence to Goldsboro and Raleigh. At Raleigh, recruits sufficient to fill up both regiments were received, and the organization of the Veteran Battalion discon- tinued, and the Fifteenth re-organized. The campaign of Gen. Sherman ended by the sur- render of Gen. Johnston. The regiment then marched with the army to Washington, D. C., via Richmond and Fredericksburg, and partici- pated in the grand review at Washington, May 24, 1865; remain 2 there two weeks. Pro- ceeded, by rail and steamboat, to Louisville,

The Twenty-sixth Illinois Volunteer Infantry was mustered into the United States service, with seven companies, at Camp Butler, Illi- nois, August 31, 1861, and were ordered to Quincy, Ill., for the protection of that place. Not having been armed, the regiment did guard duty with hickory clubs. During the autumn, the regiment did guard duty on the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad, and were armed with old English Tower muskets-Col. John Mason Loomis commanding post at Han- nibal. Prior to January 1, 1862, three more companies were raised, completing the organi- zation. February 19, 1862, they left Hanni- bal, Mo., for the South, stopping at Commerce, where the regiment was assigned to Brig. Gen. J. B. Plummer's Brigade, Brig. Gen. Schuyler Hamilton's Division, Maj. Gen. John Pope's Corps. They arrived at New Madrid March 3, and were engaged in action there ; marched to Point Pleasant, and, arriving on the 6th, engaged rebel gunboats with sharp-shooters and prevented the landing of the enemy; marched to intercept the flying enemy from Island Number 10, and assisted in capturing many prisoners. After remaining some time at New Madrid, joined an expedition against Fort Pillow ; returning, proceeded up the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers, to Hamburg Landing; took part in the siege of Corinth ; May 8 and 9, were engaged at Farmington, the regiment losing five killed and thirty wounded, Lieut. Col. Charles J. Tinkham was among the wounded; Col. Loomis commanded the brigade, and Gen. Stanley the division.

Mower, of the Eleventh Missouri ; the enemy evacuating in the night, we joined in the pursuit, arriving at Corinth October 3, and participating in the battle of Corinth ; after the battle, followed the retreating enemy as far as Ripley. Ten days afterward, arrived again at Corinth, where we stayed until Novem- ber 2. Marched, via Holly Junction, Holly Springs and Lumpkin's Mill toward Tallahatch- ie River, the enemy being fortified on the south side of the river. The regiment was here de- tailed to guard a commissary train to Hudson- ville, during the trip, losing two mnen killed and two wounded by guerrillas; ordered to Holly Springs for guard duty ; thence to Ox- ford, Miss., where we remained until December 20; ordered to Holly Springs, to prevent the capture of that place : on the 21st, reached that place, the enemy having fled ; remained here during the year, Col. Loomis command- ing the post, and Lieut. Col. Gilmore as chief of outposts.
