SCATTERING MILITARY EVENTS.
The military history of regiments with which Daviess county patriots were identified, appears in this chapter, as shown by the records in the office of the adjutant-general of the state, and, as a whole, may be considered reli-

able. A full roster of all the men who served in the Civil War from this county also has been published, from the adjutant-general's office; but to give the long list of names would take too much space. However, one gathers a definite general knowldge of the county's valiant service in the great conflict in what has herein been written and before this chapter is brought to a close events and personages deserving special mention, and not heretofore touched upon, will have received their just dues. To continue. B. F. Burlingame, of Daviess county, who went out in September, 1861, as second lieutenant of Company A, Seventh Regiment, rose to the rank of quartermaster, and Richard J. Graham became regimental adjutant of the Thirteenth, and was promoted to captain, major and lieutenant-colonel on the reorganization of that regiment. In September, 1861, Samuel W. Peck became surgeon, with rank of major, of the Eighteenth, and S. A. Wadsworth arose from the rank of second lieutenant to that of captain of Company E, Eighteenth Regiment. John A. Cassidy, captain of Company D, Twenty-seventh Regiment, was killed at Chancellorsville in May. 1863. James Neal, active in the enlistment of men in the summer of 1861, was commissioned adjutant of the Frst Cav- alry, Twenty-eighth Regiment.
THE HOME GUARDS.
Companies of home guards were often organized during the troublous time of the "late unpleasantness," during the Civil War. From the outbreak of hostilities in 1861, and all during the year, there were constant calls for men to join the various organizations forming by enthusiasts. Among those taking a prominent part in forming companies of home guards were Captains Bradley, Childs, Wigmore and H. S. Bingham. Among the notable events was the leasing of the Telegraph by S. F. Horrall to E. A. Lewis and the enlistment of the patriotic editor. On New Year's day, 1862, Capt. C. R. Van Trees was the recipient of a valuable sash, presented by admiring citi- zens; and in February, upon the receipt of news that Fort Donelson had fallen into the hands of the Federals, a great jollification took place at Wash- ington. Upon this occasion W. R. Gardiner delivered a speech and G. W. Walters found it a good opportunity to call for recruits.
HISTORY OF THE FIFTY-SECOND REGIMENT.
Twenty-two men were secured by William A. Bodkin, late in 1861, for Company A, Fifty-second Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and eighteen

for Company E, same regiment, by David J. Temple and R. W. Meredith, all of whom were mustered into the service on February 1, 1862. David J. Temple began his service as second lieutenant and later, being promoted to a captaincy, was transferred to Company I. R. W. Meredith was first lieutenant of his company, but resigned before the expiration of 1862. William A. Bodkin was first lieutenant of Company A and later attained the rank of captain.
The Fifty-second Regiment was partly formed at Rushville and was consolidated with the Fifty-sixth at Indianapolis. It broke camp on Febru- ary 7, 1862, and moved to Fort Henry and thence to Fort Donelson, where it participated in the memorable siege of that fort; later performing duty at Fort Henry and Fort Heinman until April 18, when it moved to Pitts- burg Landing and took part in the siege of Corinth. The regiment was at Memphis, Fort Pillow, Columbus, and other points of engagement, and fought Faulkner's guerrillas near Durhamsville on September 17. Follow- ing this it did garrison duty at and near Fort Pillow until January, 1864,. skirmishing and engaging in numerous expeditions; then moved with Sher- man against Meridian in January, 1864, fought at Jackson, and veteranized at Canton, Mississippi, on February 27, after which it took a veteran fur- lough. The regiment returned to Columbus, Kentucky, and in May returned to Vicksburg, from which point it pursued and fought General Forrest's forces at Tupelo, Mississippi. The regiment was engaged at Hurricane Creek on August 13 and at Franklin, Missouri, on October I, in which latter engagement it drove Price out of the state. The Fifty-second then moved to Nashville, where it fought on December 15-16, and joined in pursuit of Hood. It. then moved to Eastport, thence to New Orleans, Dauphin Island and to Spanish Fort, helping reduce the latter; fought at Blakely on April 9, 1865, the day of Lee's surrender, and then moved to Montgomery, Ala- bama, performing garrison duty there and in other parts of the state, until mustered out, September 10, 1865. The casualties of the regiment follow : Reuben Johnson, died at Vicksburg in March, 1864; Philip Dermosly, vet- eran, died in September, 1864; Michael Gatlet, died in May, 1862; Charles. H. Flanders, veteran, died in March, 1864, all of Company A; Preston T. Linville, died at Corinth in May, 1862; Thomas C. Duffy, veteran, died at Memphis in October, 1864; William Moley, died at Fort Pillow in May, 1863; Robert Ormsby, died at Memphis in August, 1862.

THE FIFTY-EIGIITH REGIMENT.
In the fall of 1861, through the efforts of Green McDonald, James A. Dale and J. S. Canfield, about fifty men were raised to fill the ranks of Company H and other companies of the Fifty-eighth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry. The officers of Company H, during the war, were James A. Dale and Green McDonald, captains; G. McDonald, John S. Can- field and Zachariah Jones, first lieutenants; J. S. Canfield, Z. Jones and Peter Honey, second lieutenants. The regiment was organized at Prince- ton in October, 1861, Col. Henry M. Carr, commanding officer. In De- cember the regiment went to Louisville, joined Buell's army and spent the winter in Kentucky. On the first of March, 1862, it reached Nashville. After remaining at Nashville for about a month the regiment moved with Buell's army in a hurried march to join Grant's army at Pittsburg Landing, arriving there at the close of the second day of the battle of Shiloh. Follow- ing the army in its movement on Corinth, the regiment participated in the siege resulting in the evacuation of that place, and then moved with Buell's command through northern Alabama, repairing and guarding the railroad, through Tuscumbia and Huntsville, and thence to Decherd, Tennessee. The regiment had several minor engagements with the enemy in the vicinity of McMinnville during the summer of 1862. About the first of September of that year the regiment participated in the retrograde movement of Buell's concentrated army after Bragg, moving through Nashville and Bowling Green, finally reaching Louisville, about the first of October. After a rest of two days the regiment moved with the army to Bardstown, driving Bragg from that place and following his retreat to Perryville, where a severe battle was fought. Following Bragg's retreating forces for some days after that engagement the Fifty-eighth then turned again in the direction of Nash- ville, arriving there in the latter part of November. The regiment then moved with Rosecrans's army, in the Murfreesboro campaign, and in Decem- ber charged the enemy at Lavergne, driving him from that place and on to Murfreesboro; was engaged in the battle of Stone's River, December 31 and on the Ist and 2d of January following, losing in that engagement one hundred and ten in killed, wounded and missing, out of about four hundred engaged. The Fifty-eighth Regiment remained in the vicinity of Murfrees- boro until June 24, 1863, and then moved with the army toward Chatta- nooga ; participated in the bloody battle of Chickamauga, losing one hundred and seventy in killed wounded and missing; also participated in the charge

and severe battle of Mission Ridge, November 25, and then moved with the army sent to the relief of Knoxville, spending the winter in the vicinity of Knoxville, where it suffered greatly for wain of provisions and clothing.
RE-ENLISTED AS VETERANS.
It was under these conditions that the Fifty-eighth Regiment re-enlisted as veterans, January 24, 1864, and was returned to Indiana on veteran fur- lough, arriving at Indianapolis, March 4. At the expiration of their furlough the veterans returned to the field, in April, and the regiment was then put in charge of the pontoon train of Sherman's army, preparing to advance on Atlanta. In this service the regiment bridged all the streams from Chatta- nooga to Atlanta, often under a galling fire from the enemy in position to dispute the crossing.
In October, one hundred and seventy men of the Tenth Regiment were consolidated with the Fifty-eighth Regiment. After the fall of Atlanta, the Fifty-eighth moved with the army of Georgia, under General Slocum, and bridged the streams from Atlanta to Savannah. The non-veterans were mustered out in December. In the Carolina campaign the Fifty-eighth bridged the streams for the army of Georgia. In this campaign alone it made over sixteen thousand feet of bridges. Later, on the way to Wash- ington, D. C., it bridged all the streams with the exception of the James. On July 25, 1865, the organization was mustered out at Louisville, Ken- tucky. It lost during its term of service, in battle and disease, two hundred and sixty-five men.

HEAVY CALLS FOR TROOPS IN 1862.
In the months of July and August, 1862, after a lull in recruiting, the government issued calls for large bodies of men, which prompted certain of Daviess county's citizens to lend their aid in augmenting the forces of the Northern armies. To this end, Captain Childs, Captain Johnson and Lieu- tenant Hall called for men to form companies, and to create enthusiasm and success in these efforts, war meetings were held in various sections of the county, at which leading men with gifts of oratory used every persuasion of speech to induce able-bodied men to enlist. In this they were quite suc- cessful. In the latter part of July over one thousand men had responded to the urgent call of their country and were ready at Washington, under Captain Johnson, to repel invaders, the word having reached here that rebels had crossed the Ohio and were headed in this direction. This "scare" made enlistment in township militia companies quite brisk, each township organizing its own company, fully officered. In August recruits for the Fifty-eighth Regiment were sought by W. H. Kendall, who, while in the performance of his undertaking, was forced to shoot a rebel sympathizer. Captain Cassidy and Lieutenant McCormack gathered together sixty recruits for their commander. The men recruited by the officers mentioned were assigned to Company I, of the Sixty-fifth Regiment, and were mustered into the service on the 20th of August. The officers of the company, during the war, were Charles Childs, S. K. Leavitt, Harvey Taylor and Samuel H. Mulholland, captains; James Neal, H. Taylor, S. H. Mulholland and Sauls- bury Lloyd, first lieutenants; James P. C. Prewitt, S. H. Mulholland and Elam Ritchey, second lieutenants.
SIXTY-FIFTH REGIMENT.
This organization, formed at Princeton, was mustered in at Evans- ville, with John W. Foster as colonel, and was then sent to Henderson, Kentucky, to protect the place from guerrillas, being moved to Asbury in August. After an all-night march it attacked Adam Johnson's regiment and took possession of Madisonville. Having been mounted in April, the regiment did duty on the Nashville railroad and elsewhere until August, 1863; was moved to eastern Tennessee in September and, on a raiding expedition up the valley, captured trains, locomotives and other property. It engaged the enemy near Zollicoffer and on the 22d of September lost fifteen men at Blountsville. On October II it fought at Rheatown; on the 14th

again at Blountsville, and the next day at Bristol. The regiment fought at Walker's Ford all day on November 17, losing, twelve men. Company K performed excellent service at Mulberry Gap. On December 14 the regi- ment lost seventeen men in a skirmish at Bean's Station and the next day lost fourteen men at Powder Springs Gap, later in the day the list of casual- ties being increased by the loss of three men at Skagg's Mills. The regi- ment skirmished at Dandridge on January 17, 1864. Being dismounted in April, the Sixty-fifth joined Sherman in the Atlanta campaign and was in all engagements of that march, losing an aggregate of twenty-nine men. It pursued Hood, fighting at Columbia, Franklin and Nashville; was trans- ferred to the Atlantic coast in February, 1865; sustained a heavy attack at Fort Anderson, skirmished at Town Creek, and on June 22, 1865, was mus- tered out at Greensboro. During its term of service the regiment lost twenty- six killed, eighty-six wounded and sixty-one captured.

NINETY-FIRST REGIMENT.
A small squad of men became a part of Company B, of the Eighteenth Regiment, in August, 1862, and in July and August, through the efforts of Z. V. Garten, Thomas Wadsworth and Starling Sims, a full company was raised for the Ninety-first Regiment, the company being given the initial letter C. The men mainly came from around Raglesville and Odon. The officers of Company C. during the war, follow, namely : J. H. Garten, Z. V. Garten and R. B. Dunlap, captains; Thomas Wadsworth, R. B. Dun- lap and William F. Wirts, first lieutenants; Starling Sims and James H. Garten, second lieutenants. The regiment rendezvoused at Evansville on October 10. A battalion of seven of its companies performed guard duty in Kentucky until June 15, 1863, when it marched to Rushville, Bowling Green and Burksville, in pursuit of Morgan. The battalion was joined by three companies in the late summer and in September moved to Nashville, thence, in November, to Russellville.

DAVIESS COUNTY ESCAPES DRAFT.
The draft was put into operation in Indiana in October, 1862; but Daviess county entirely escaped any indignity of that kind, as she had the high mark of distinction of having furnished her full quota, being one of only fifteen counties in the state to be so "forehanded."
The call for six-months men had been issued in June, 1863, to which a full company responded in the county. This company was assigned to the One Hundred and Seventeenth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, as Company K, and was officered, during the war, as follow: James R. Bryant and John B. Wirts, captains; John B. Wirts and John S. Canfield, first lieutenants; John S. Canfield and James A. Carnahan, second lieutenants. With a beautiful flag, the gift of Washington ladies, the company left the county seat for Indianapolis on August II, 1863, where the regiment was organized. This regiment left for Kentucky on the 17th of September and later moved to Nicholasville, Cumberland Gap, and thence into eastern Ten- nessee, remaining near Greenville until November; then moved to Bean's Station and later to Clinch Mountain Gap. Here it was nearly captured by the enemy. The regiment then moved to Cumberland Gap, thence to Taze- well and on to Knoxville; in December, 1863, to Strawberry Plains, thence to Maynardsville; then back to Cumberland Gap, from which place it returned home, the term of enlistment having expired.
Casualties in Company K: William J. Alford, died in Andersonville prison in September, 1864; John Blough, died at Knoxville in January, 1864; John Burriss, died at Tazewell in January, 1864; Alonzo Cunning- ham, died at Knoxville in November, 1863; Harvey H. Dickinson, died at Indianapolis; Thomas J. Helpenstein, died of disease at Greenville in Octo- ber, 1863; Alonzo C. McGaughey, died at Camp Nelson in December, 1863; Zachariah Moody, died in Andersonville prison in March, 1864; William Potts, died at Knoxville in December, 1863; David Snider, died in Ander-

sonville prison in August, 1864; William R. Strickland, died at Tazewell in January, 1864; William Winn, died at Camp Nelson in January, 1864.
RECRUITS AND VETERANS.
Under the call of October, 1863, Daviess county's quota was one hun- dren and forty-three men, and efforts at once were put forth to meet the. government's requirements. To this end C. R. VanTrees called for volun- teers and the number desired was soon forthcoming. Of this contingent, and those secured under calls of February and March, twenty men were. assigned to Company D, Twenty-fourth Regiment; twelve to Company ₣, Twenty-seventh Regiment; forty-five to Company G. Forty-second Regi- ment; about twelve joined Company H, of the Fifty-eighth Regiment; twenty joined Company I, of the Sixty-fifth Regiment; eighteen were taken: to Company C, of the Seventieth Regiment; thirty went to Company K, of the Seventieth Regiment; and six to Company C, of the Ninety-first Regi- ment. During the winter of 1863-64 large numbers of recruits and veterans left for the field. The veterans re-enlisting, remained with their regiments. and the recruits were assigned to the older organizations. No draft took place in the county in 1864, this being avoided by the general acceptance- of a bounty of four hundred dollars offered by the board of commissioners. In January, 1865, the bounty was increased to six hundred dollars. In all,. beginning with a fifty-dollar bounty in 1863, Daviess county paid in boun- ties the sum of fifty-nine thousand three hundred and fifty dollars, and con- sidered the money well spent, as it avoided trouble always consequent on the exercise of the draft and made it possible for the county to present a good appearance on the war records of the state.
By the 19th of September, 1862, the county was credited with furnish- ing one thousand two hundred and thirty-seven volunteers. Under the call of June, 1863, a full company of one hundred men was supplied; the quota of the October call, numbering one hundred and forty-three, was furnished. Under the calls of February, March and July, 1864, the county was credited with seven hundred and thirty-five men and under the last call, December 19, 1864, the official credit for the county was one hundred and six men; but at this time the county was short of men. In addition, there were three companies of minute-men in the state service, one hundred and eighty men, beside eleven companies mustered into the "Legion," with about fifty men in each company, or a total of five hundred and fifty in the "Legions." The- grand total of men enlisting for the Civil War from Daviess county, as-
