HISTORY OF THE
FOURTH BATTERY, LIGHT ARTILLERY, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
The Fourth Indiana Battery was organized at Indianapolis, September, 1861, and joined the army under General Buell at Louisville, Kentucky. It moved with the army to Nashville, Tennessee, and thence to Savannah on the Tennessee River, but for want of transportation was unable to cross and take part in the battle at Shiloh. It participated in the campaign through Northern Alabama and Middle Tennessee, returning to Nashville in August, 1862. During General Bragg's invasion of Kentucky, the battery took part in the movements that finally drove the enemy from that State. After the battle at Stone's River, Tennessee, in which it bore a conspicuous part, the battery moved with the army against Tullahoma, Tennessee. In the advance toward Chattanooga, it was briskly engaged at Hoover's Gap, Tennessee, and Dug Gap, Georgia. On September 19 and 20, 1863, this battery took part in the famous battle at Chickamauga, Georgia, but no Henry County soldiers were in the battery at that time. November 24 and 25, 1863, the battery was engaged at Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, Tennessee.
Re-organized in the field, October, 1864, the battery joined the Army of the Cumberland, at Nashville, and after the battle at that place, December 15 and 16, was in garrison at Fort Rosecrans, until muster out, at Indianapolis, in August, 1865. Henry County was not represented in the original organization of the battery. All of her soldiers in this organization came in as recruits in August and September, 1863, and October, 1864, and nearly all of them were detailed for duty in the 19th Indiana Battery and served continuously with that battery from March, 1864, to June, 1865. Therefore, their history is more intimately connected with the last named battery. Indiana has erected a monument to this battery at Chickamauga.

HISTORY OF THE
TWELFTH BATTERY, LIGHT ARTILLERY, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
The Twelfth Indiana Battery was organized at Jeffersonville, December, 1861. Went into camp at Indianapolis on the 22d day of the same month. The organization was finally completed and the officers mustered into service January 25, 1862. On February 7th the Battery returned to Jeffersonville and went into camp at Camp "Joe" Wright, where it remained until the 22d, when it was sent to Louisville, Kentucky. Three days later, it embarked at that point on the steam- boat, Atha Wathan, for Nashville, Tennessee, where it arrived March 7th and remained until March 29th when, as a part of General Buell's army, it started on the march to Savannah, Tennessee, reaching there on April 8th. Soon afterwards it crossed the Tennessee River and went into camp on the battlefield of Shiloh. On May 13th, the battery marched to Hamburg Landing, near Shiloh Camp,

where it was given siege guns preparatory to the advance on Corinth, Mississippi, afterwards participating in the siege of that place and all the battles and skirmishes incident thereto. After the fall of Corinth, May 30, 1862, the battery moved with General Buell's army through Iuka, Mississippi ; Florence, Athens, Huntsville and Stevenson, Alabama. At the last named place it took the cars for Nashville, and went into camp on St. Cloud Hill, where Fort Negley was then building. The battery remained at Fort Negley, during the remainder of its term of service, except a half of the battery which was sent to Chattanooga, Tennessee, after the battle of Chickamauga, and placed in Fort Wood until after the battle of Mis- sionary Ridge in which it took an active part. As a part of the garrison of Nash- ville, this battery took part in several of the minor battles and skirmishes around that place, in the Fall of 1862. At the battle of Nashville, December 15 and 16, 1864, the battery took a conspicuous part.
A large part of the battery veteranized, the non-veterans being mustered out December 22, 1864. The battery was finally mustered out of the service and dis- charged at Indianapolis, July 7, 1865.
Sergeant John Speakman, of New Castle, was one of the first of the Henry County soldiers to join this battery, and he was largely instrumental in bringing to it the other soldiers from this county. The facts for this brief history were furnished by Sergeant Speakman.
This Battery bore an honorable part in the following engagements :
Corinth, Mississippi, (Siege of; April 30 to May 30, 1862.

HISTORY OF THE
NINETEENTH BATTERY, LIGHT ARTILLERY, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
The Nineteenth Battery of Indiana was organized and mustered into the service of the United States at Indianapolis on the 5th day of August, 1862, with Samuel J. Harris as Captain. It was sent to Louisville, Kentucky, very shortly after and joined the Army of the Ohio, upon its return to Louisville, at the time of the invasion of Kentucky by General Bragg. In the campaign against Bragg through Kentucky it was an active participant, moving from Louisville, with its division, under command of General James S. Jackson, it took part in the battle of Perry- ville, on the 8th of October. In this engagement the battery was sent across the enemy's right to the left of Chaplin Hills, and posted on the right, on a high level ridge, from which position it kept up a steady fire against the enemy for three hours and a half. The loss of the battery in this engagement was eighteen. After the battle of Chaplin Hills, or Perryville, the battery moved, with the army, in pursuit of the enemy as far as Crab Orchard, Kentucky. Returning from Crab Orchard by way of Lebanon to Woodsonville, Kentucky, it there remained until December, when it was sent to Glasgow, and from there to Murfreesboro, Ten- nessee. While in Kentucky the battery was frequently engaged in severe marches with the infantry after the forces of the Confederate General, John H. Morgan. The battery reached Murfreesboro after the battle of Stone's River and was assigned

to the Fourth Division of the Fourteenth Army Corps, under command of General Joseph Reynolds, and with it remained until the 24th of June, 1863, when it marched with its division in General Rosecrans' campaign through Middle Tennessee.
This battery on the Chickamauga campaign, and during the battle of Chicka- mauga, was attached to the Second Brigade, Fourth Division, Fourteenth Army Corps. Colonel Edward A. King, of the Sixty Eighth Indiana, was in command of the brigade, the division was under the command of Major General Joseph J. Reynolds; Fourteenth Corps, Major General George H. Thomas. The battery crossed the Tennessee River with King's Brigade, and accompanied the brigade over Sand Mountain, Lookout Mountain, and was with the Fourteenth Corps in all its marching, and bore with it the hardships of the campaign. In the concen- trating of the army of General Rosecrans this battery moved with Colonel King's Brigade from Pond Spring, Georgia, on the afternoon of September 18th, marching all night, and reaching the Chickamauga battlefield about daylight on the morning of the 19th. General Reynolds, in his report concerning the first day's engage- ment at Chickamauga, September 19th, states that his division, to which Colonel King's Brigade was attached, "was ordered first to take position in line of battle northeast of Glenn's house, and "while taking this position the division was ordered to advance immediately to McDonald's and enter into the action then progressing on our left. I at once reported in person to the corps commander, and, in ac- cordance with his instructions, directed the Third Brigade (Turchin's) to take position southeast of Kelly's cross-roads. The Second Brigade (King's) was about leaving the main road to take place on the right of the Third when I met General Palmer in the road, who represented that his command had gained upon the enemy, but was nearly out of ammunition and in great need of assistance to enable him to hold what he had gained,at least until they could replenish am- munition. This, although not the precise position indicated to me for the Second Brigade, was very close to it, and appeared to be a place where it was essential to fill at once, and no other troops were in sight to take the position. Three regi- ments, under Colonel E. A. King, were therefore ordered in at this point, leaving in my hands one regiment, Seventy Fifth Indiana, and Nineteenth Indiana Battery. I had just arrived upon the field and found my division would occupy about the center of our line. No reserve force being anywhere apparent, I determined to form one of Nineteenth Indiana Battery and Seventy Fifth Indiana, to which was shortly added another battery, which I found in the road unemployed, and the Ninety Second Illinois (temporarily dismounted). In a short time the Sixth Ohio came from the front and took position near the Nineteenth Indiana Battery to re-supply ammunition."
This battery saw active service all through the Atlanta Campaign and went through with "Sherman to the Sea." After the surrender of Savannah, on the 21st of December, the battery remained in Savannah until January 30, 1865, when it moved with the army in the campaign through the Carolinas. It was engaged at Columbia, South Carolina, and from thence moved through North Carolina to Goldsboro. On the 19th of March, 1865, it participated in the battle of Bentonville.
After the surrender of Johnston's Army and the close of the war in North Carolina, the battery marched to Newbern, and thence was sent by steamship to 12
178
HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
Washington. After its arrival in Washington, D. C., it took part in the grand review of Sherman's Army, after which it was sent to Indianapolis for muster out.
On the 10th of June, 1865, the battery was mustered out of the United States service, officers and men discharged and returned to their homes.
The State of Indiana has erected a monument to the Nineteenth Indiana Battery on the Poe Field line west of the Lafayette road, and on the tablet of that battery is the following inscription :
INDIANA'S TRIBUTE
TO HER NINETEENTH BATTERY.
Captain Samuel J. Harris, Lieutenant Robert S. Lackey, Commanding. Second Brigade (King). Fourth Division (Reynolds). Fourteenth Corps (Thomas).
Saturday, September 19, 1863, this battery reached Crawfish Springs, at 7 a. m., after an all-night march from Pond Spring; thence moved to vicinity of Brotherton's, and about 3:30 p. m. went into action south of the Poe house and west of the Lafayette road, where Captain Harris was wounded. Being flanked on the right, the battery withdrew to the north side of the Poe field, and was there engaged.
Sunday, September 20th, the battery became engaged at 10 a. m. where this monument stands, and was in action here until noon. It was then moved to the south side of Kelly field, a little northwest of where Colonel King's monument now stands, remaining there until 5:30 p. m., when the battery retired, taking the body of Colonel King on a caisson.
Casualties : Two enlisted men killed ; Captain and fifteen men wounded ; two missing ; aggregate loss, twenty.
Markers have been set up for this battery to indicate several positions occupied by it during the battle of Chickamauga, other than the position in which their monument is placed. One marker is located east of the Lafayette road, just south of the Kelly field, on which is the following inscription :
INDIANA. Nineteenth Battery (Harris). Second Brigade (King). Fourth Division (Reynolds). Fourteenth Corps (Thomas). Saturday, September 19, 1863, 4:30 p. m.
Also a marker in the Kelly field, near the King monument, bearing the same inscription excepting as to time. The time being fixed :
"Sunday, September 20, 1863, 12 m. to 5:30 p. m."
A third marker is placed in the woods west of the Lafayette road, south of the Poe house, bearing the same inscription as the first, excepting as to the time. The time being fixed :
"Saturday, September 19, 1863, 12 m. to 4 p. m."

HISTORY OF THE
TWENTY FIFTH BATTERY, LIGHT ARTILLERY, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
The Twenty Fifth Battery of Light Artillery was the last artillery company recruited in Indiana in the Civil War. It was raised during the months of Sep- tember and October, 1864, and the officers and recruits composing the company were mustered into the service for one year.
