THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY-(THREE YEARS' SERVICE).
This regiment contained eighty-two men and officers from Allen County, distributed among a number of companies. It was originally accepted for State service for one year, but was subsequently transferred to the service of the United States. It was one of the first regiments to enter the service for a term of three years from Indiana, and was mustered into service at Indianapolis June 19, 1861, with Jere C. Sullivan as Colonel. On the 4th of July, it left for the field, and on the 10th of July it joined the forees under Gen. Mcclellan at Rich Mountain. W. Va. On the next day it participated in the battle of Rich Moun- tain, losing 8 killed and 9 wounded.
From that time until the 7th of November, the regiment was constantly engaged in hard mareles in the broken mountainous country surrounding it, and was engaged in numerous skirmishes.
On the 7th of November, it marched, under command of Gen. Milroy, to Alleghany, and, on the 13th of December, participated in the battle at that place.
On the 18th of December, the Thirteenth joined the forces under Gen. Lan- der at Green Spring Run, where it remained until spring.
In the spring of 1862, the regiment was attached to Shields' Division, and moved up the Shenandoah Valley, participating in the battle of Winchester, ou the 22d of March, losing 6 killed and 33 wounded, after which it followed in pursuit of Stonewall Jackson's defeated and flying army as far as New Market.
The Thirteenth remained in the Shenandoah Valley until the 28th of June, when it was ordered to Harrison's Landing to re-enforce Gen. MeClellan, arriving there on the 2d of July, just at the elose of seven days' terrible fight- ing, hoth armies really too much exhausted to continne the struggle. It remained on duty in the swamps of the Chickahominy until the 16th of August, when the whole army moved in the direction of Yorktown, reaching there on the 20th, and the reginuent remained there until the 30th, when it ascended the Nansemond River to Suffolk, and eneamped near that town, where it remained until the 29th of January, 1863. During this time, the regiment, with the com- mand to which it belonged, was actively engaged in making demonstrations on the line of the Roanoke & Seaboard Railroad, at the point where the road erosses the Black water River, with varying success.
On the 30th of January, the command discovered the enemy at a locality known as the " Deserted House," about eight miles from Suffolk, and promptly attacked him and drove him six miles, when pursuit was abandoned.
On the 10th of April. a rebel force under Gen. Longstreet appeared before Suffolk and proceeded to besiege that place. The siege was maintained until the 4th of May, when it was raised, and the Thirteenth at onee started in pursuit of the enemy, but he escaped with but slight loss. The siege lasted twenty-three days, and the Thirteenth lost Lieut. Conran, of this county, mortally wounded, and 8 enlisted men wounded.
On the 28th of June, the regiment sailed for Charleston Harbor, where it. took part in the assault upon Fort Wagner, on the 7th of September, and was the first regiment to euter the fort.
In December, 1863, a portion of the regiment re-enlisted as veterans, and left for Indianapolis on their " veteran furlough," arriving there January 1, 1864.
On the 23d of February, 1864, the regiment joined Gen. Seymour at Jack- sonville, Fla., where it remained until the 17th of April, when it was ordered to return to Virginia, and landed at Bermuda Hundred on the 5th of May.
The Thirteenth took part in all of the operations of Gen Butler's army south of Richmond, and was conspicuous in the engagements at Whitehall Junction on the 7th of May, Chester Station, May 10, and Foster's Farm, May 26, at which the regiment lost nearly two hundred men. On the 1st day of June, it joined the Army of the Potomac at Newcastle, with which it was engaged at Cold Harhor June 3, and in all the operations near the Chiekahominy until June 12, when it returned to Bermuda Hundred.
On the 15th, it erossed the Appomattox River, and was engaged in the assaults upon the rebel works in front of Petersburg.
The non-veterans of the regiment left on the 19th of June for Indianapolis, arriving there June 24, and were mustered out of the service. On the 30th day of July, the regiment was engaged in the charge on Petersburg, after the explo- sion of the mine, after which it remained in the trenches until in September.
On the 15th of September, the regiment participated in the battle of Straw- berry Plains, and was employed in the operations against Richmond from the north side of James River, engaging in the battle of Chapin's Bluff, and the assault on Fort Gilmore on the 19th, and the assaults on the rebel lines in front of Richmond on the 10th day of October.
In November, it was sent with other regiments to New York City, to pre- serve order during the election excitement ; and, on returning, sailed with the first expedition to Fort Fisher on the 3d of December, after which it returned to Chapin's Bluff on the 31st of December. Upon the muster-out of the non- veterans, the veterans and recruits were, by order of Gen. Butler, on the 6th day of December, 1864, re-organized into a battalion of five companies. This bat- talion was subsequently made a full regiment, by the addition of five companies of drafted men.
On the 3d day of January, 1865, the Thirteenth sailed with the second expe- dition to, and engaged in the second attempt at the reduction of Fort Fisher.on the 15th of January, and also participated in the enpture of Fort Anderson on the 19th of February, and the occupation of Wilmington, February 22.
After remaining at Wilmington some weeks, it took part in the advance upon Raleigh, where it remained until the 20th of July, 1865, when it was ordered to Goldsboro, where it remained until the 5th of September, when the regiment was mustered out of the service, and the men and officers returned to their homes.
Nor more gallant regiment than the Thirteenth ever formed a line or made a charge.

FIFTEENTH REGIMENT INFANPRY-(THREE YEARS' SERVICE).
This regiment contained one company from this county, and was organized at La Fayette, and was mustered into the service on the 14th of June, 1861, with George D. Wagner as Colouel. A few days after, it was ordered to Indianapolis, and, about the 1st of July, left there for Western Virginia, reaching Ricb Mountain on the 11th, while the battle of that name was in progress, and, the next day, formed part of the pursuing force after the defeated enetuy, and assist- ing in the capture of many prisoners. It remained in that vicinity, in Elkwater Valley, taking an active part in the operations of Gen. Reynolds, including the battle of Green Brier, until the 19th of November, when it was ordered to Louis- ville, Ky., where it reported a very few days after. From that time, it became a part of the Army of the Cumberland, participating in the battle of Shiloh, the siege of Corinth, the campaign iu Tennessee and Kentucky in the summer of 1862. and the battles of Perryville and Stone River. In the last named battle, it was conspicuous for its unflinching bravery and its terrible losses, losing 197 men and officers, killed and wounded, out of 440 that went into action. In the Tullahoma campaign, it formed a part of Crittenden's (21st) Army Corps, which, by its persistent work on the rebel left, succeeded in forcing Bragg out of his works at that place.
In the advance movement of the army, which culminated in the battle of Chickamauga, Gen. Wagner's Brigade, to which the Fifteenth belonged, was the first to enter Chattanooga. The Fifteenth remained at that place, performing post duty, until the 20th of November. It participated in the battle of Mission Ridge November 25, losing very heavily. The next day, it marched, with other troops, to the relief of Gen. Burnside, at Knoxville-marching over one hundred miles in the winter, many of the men without shoes and all on very short rations.
It remained at Knoxville, on severe duty, without baggage or tents and but little to ent, uutil in February, 1864, when it was ordered to Chattanooga and detailed for garrison duty. While there, a portion of the regiment re-enlisted as veterans. It remained there until the expiration of the term of service of the non-veterans, when it was ordered to Indianapolis, and mustercd out of the serv- ice on the 25th of June, 1864. A detachment of veterans and recruits were left behind, and they were transferred to the Seventecntb Regiment of Indiana Volunteers (mounted infantry ), and served with that organization until August 8, 1865, when they were finally discharged.
