The Forty-seventh left Indianapolis on December 16, 1861, for Bards- town, Kentucky, and it remained in that state until the following Feb- ruary, when it was ordered to join General Pope at Commerce, Missouri, for the movement against New Madrid and Island No. 10. From that time to December, 1863, it was with the Thirty-fourth, an account of which regiment has been given. In December, 1863, the Forty-seventh was assigned to the Department of the Gulf and formed part of General Banks' army in the Red River campaign of 1864. In March, 1865, it was ordered to Mobile to take part in the siege of that city and distin- guished itself in the assault on Spanish Fort (April 8th), when that stronghold surrendered. It was then sent back to Louisiana and re- mained in that state until mustered out on October 23, 1865.
SEVENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY
When this regiment was mustered into service on August 19, 1862, John M. Petit was colonel, but in October his health became so impaired that he was forced to resign and Milton S. Robinson, lieutenant-colonel of the Forty-seventh, was commissioned to succeed him. Joseph F. Johnston and Levi S. Saylor, two Madison county boys, enlisted as privates in Company E and the latter was killed at Chickamauga, Sep- tember 19, 1863.

garrison and the regiment lost two killed and several wounded. On that day the garrison surrendered to a vastly superior force and the men were paroled. Upon being exchanged they assembled at Indian- apolis on October 27, 1862, and moved at once to Memphis, Tennessee, where the regiment remained on duty until in January, 1864. It was with General Sherman on the Meridian expedition, after which it was ordered to Louisiana, as part of General A. J.

man's army for the Atlanta campaign. It was engaged at Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Lost Mountain, Kenesaw Mountain, Peachtree Creek, the battle of July 22, 1864, and after the surrender of that city the regiment, forming part of the Twenty-third corps, came back to Nash- ville, where it was engaged with the Confederate Army under General HIood on December 15-16, 1864. Early in 1865 orders were received to move to Washington, D. C., whence it was sent to North Carolina, and it was present at the surrender of General Joseph E. Johnston. From April to December, 1865, it was on guard at Charlotte, North Carolina. It left that place on December 2, 1865, and on the 13th reached Indianapolis, where the men received their final pay and dis- charge.
In connection with the organization of this regiment, a pleasant little incident occurred while it was in camp at Kokomo. Colonel Thomas N. Stilwell, of Anderson, had been very busy during the earlier years of the war in raising troops, and was an important factor in the organi- zation of the One Hundred and Thirtieth. In his relations with the men his conduct was such as to win their esteem and confidence, and as a token of their regard the officers of the One Hundred and Thirtieth and the One Hundred and Thirty-first "chipped in" and purchased a $400 gold watch, which was presented to Colonel Stilwell. The pres- entation speech was made by Captain Edgar IIenderson, a former resi- dent of Anderson, and was appropriately responded to by the recipient.

Seward and Jeremiah Sullivan were privates in Company F. This regi- ment was sometimes called the Methodist regiment, because its first colonel, John W. T.
