HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
Lieutenant Colonel George F. McGinnis (later in the war made Brigadier General, full rank).
The regiment participated in the attack on Fort Donelson, Tennessee, and was in the battle of Shiloh, April 7, 1862. It took part in the Siege of Corinth, Mississippi, and from there moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and thence by steamei to Helena, Arkansas, and then to Clarendon. Returning to Helena, it made ex- peditions to White River, Tallahatchie River, Duvall's Bluff and Yazoo Pass. It arrived at Milliken's Bend, Louisiana, April 14th, and there joined General Grant's Army. It took part in the battles at Port Gibson, Champion Hills and Big Black River, Mississippi, and in the Siege of Vicksburg, until the surrender, July 4, 1863. In August, the regiment moved to New Orleans, thence to Brashear City and thence to Opelousas, Louisiana. February 1, 1864, the regiment veteranized and returned home on furlough. Upon the expiration of its furlough, the Eleventh left Indianapolis, reaching New Orleans, May 8th, where it remained until July. Under sealed orders it was moved to Fortress Monroe and thence to Washington, District of Columbia, and then to Harper's Ferry, Virginia. On August 13th, it was at Cedar Creek and on August 15th, at Winchester, Virginia. From this period, it was in almost daily conflict with the enemy until late in October. Leaving the Shenandoah Valley, the regiment marched to Baltimore, Maryland, where it arrived, January 7, 1865, and remained there until its muster out, July 26, 1865. During its term of service, the regi- ment marched nearly 10,000 miles. Indiana has erected monuments to this regiment at Shiloh and at Vicksburg.

HISTORY OF THE
SIXTEENTH INFANTRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
In May, 1861, the Sixteenth Regiment was organized for one year's service as State Troops, and July 23, 1861, was transferred to the Government and mustered into the United States service. It was the first regiment to pass through
305
HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
Baltimore, Maryland, after the attack on the Sixth Massachusetts, April 19, 1861. The regiment took part in the engagements at Ball's Bluff, Harper's Ferry, Win- chester, Warrenton and other points in Virginia and Maryland.
May 27, 1862, the regiment was re-organized for the three years' service and mustered in August 19, 1862. The same day it was sent to Kentucky and took part in the battle at Richmond, where it lost two hundred in killed and wounded and six hundred prisoners, who were paroled and afterwards exchanged. It participated in the Vicksburg Campaign and was at the battle of Big Black River, Mississippi, and in the trenches at Vicksburg until the surrender of that place, July 4, 1863.
After participating in the skirmishing at Jackson, Mississippi, the regiment returned to Vicksburg and was sent from there to New Orleans where it was mounted and attached to the Cavalry Corps. January, 1864, it was re-fitted and re-mounted and joined General Banks' Expedition up Red River. The regiment was mustered out June 30, 1865. Indiana has erected a monument to this regi- ment at Vicksburg.
The first Colonel of this regiment was Pleasant A. Hackleman, who, at the beginning of the Civil War, was Common Pleas Judge of the adjoining County of Rush. Later he was made a Brigadier General and was killed at the battle of Corinth, Mississippi, October 3, 1862, while valiantly leading his men, being struck instantly dead by a minie ball through the head. General Hackleman was one of Indiana's most distinguished citizens and soldiers. He was the only Indiana soldier to be killed in action, who had reached a rank above that of Colonel. His remains are interred at Rushville, where his memory is held in high esteem, he being regarded as her first citizen of gentlest memory.

HISTORY OF THE
NINETEENTH INFANTRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
The Nineteenth was a famous regiment. It was mustered in July 29, 1861, at Indianapolis, with Solomon Meredith, of Cambridge City, as Colonel (after- wards Brevet Major General). August 9th, the regiment joined the Army of the Potomac and September 28th occupied Falls Church. March 10, 1862, under General McDowell, it marched to Fredericksburg, Virginia, thence to War- renton and on August 5th to Spottsylvania Court House. On August 10th it reached Cedar Mountain. While retreating from that point, it had a severe en- gagement with General Ewell's command at Gainesville, Virginia, August 28th, and lost 187 killed and wounded and 33 missing. At Manassas Junction, it was again engaged with the enemy and from there went with the Army to Wash- ington City and thence to Frederick City, Maryland, and was with General Hooker at South Mountain, Maryland, September 14th. The regiment was con- spicuous at the battle of Antietam, Maryland, where it suffered heavy loss. It remained at Sharpsburg, near the field of Antietam, until October. On the 6th of October. Colonel Meredith was appointed a Brigadier General and was suc- ceeded in command of the regiment by Lieutenant Colonel Samuel J. Williams. October 30th, the regiment crossed the Potomac, going to a point near Fredericks- burg, where it participated in General Burnside's attack on the Confederate works in the rear of that place. It was in Winter quarters at Belle Plaine, until April 28, 1863, when it marched across the Rappahannock River and engaged the enemy at Fitzhugh's Crossing. May 21st, it marched to Westmoreland Court House and on June 12th began its march northward, crossing into Mary- land and marching through Frederick City, arriving at Gettysburg July Ist, just as the battle was opening. The Nineteenth was the first infantry to engage the
310
HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
enemy and with the first division of the first corps defeated the Confederates and captured Archer's brigade. During the afternoon of July Ist, the command was obliged to fall back to Cemetery Hill, and its losses were very heavy. During the 2nd and 3rd of July, the regiment remained on Cemetery Hill but was not actively engaged. On the 18th of July, the regiment crossed the Potomac and pro- ceeded to Rappahannock Station, where it arrived August Ist and at the close of the campaign went into Winter quarters. At Culpepper, Virginia, a portion of the regiment re-enlisted and visited Indiana on veteran furlough. Moving with General Grant's Army across the Rapidan on the 4th day of May, 1864, the regiment bore its part in the series of battles that followed, including the Wilder- ness, Laurel Hill, North Anna and Cold Harbor and was at the Siege of Peters- burg. In August the non-veterans were mustered out. September 23rd, the remainder of the Seventh regiment was consolidated with the Nineteenth and October 18th, the Nineteenth was consolidated with the Twentieth. The mnen of the old Nineteenth served with the new organization until its muster out July 12, 1865. Indiana has erected a monument to this regiment at Gettysburg.
