WAR WITH MEXICO
Miami county had been organized but a little more than eleven years when the United States became involved in a dispute with Mexico over the annexation of Texas. Peaceable adjustment of the difficulty was out of the question, and on May 11, 1846, President Polk issued a proc- lamation declaring that a state of war existed between this country and Mexico. Congress being in session at the time immediately authorized the president to call for fifty thousand volunteers, and on May 23, 1846, Governor James Whitcomb called upon the militia of Indiana for four regiment of infantry-two for immediate service and two to be held in reserve. Captain John M. Wilson, of Peru, at once commenced the work of raising a company in Miami county. Failing to secure a full com- pany in the county, a number of men were enrolled from other counties and early in June the company left for New Albany, where on the 16th it was mustered into the service of the United States as Company B, First Indiana volunteer infantry, with James P. Drake as colonel; C. C. Nave, lieutenant-colonel; Henry S. Lane, major.

HISTORY OF MIAMI COUNTY
From the incomplete records in the office of the adjutant-general, it is impossible to ascertain the full enrollment of any of the organizations that went out from Indiana for service in the Mexican war, but the following names appear as members of Captain Wilson's company : Edward Anibal, Richard Bell, Joseph Bishop, S. S. Bottow, James Brown, P. I. Brown, Luther Bush, George Carpenter, Jackson Castor, S. L. Clark, W. L. Clark, James Coleman, Henry Collins, Samuel Collyer, John S. Crooks, L. Curtis, H. Davenport, J. S. Denton, William Doughty, C. M. Drouillard, D. M. Dunn, Quincy A. Fisk, William Flagg, J. B. Franklin, Joseph Gertes, Nathan Gibson, George Gordon, Isaac Harter, J. C.

Smith, Charles Smith, D. R. Todd, Harvey Tucker, Martin Wey, Edward Wil- son, W. T. Wilson, Abram Wright.
Early in July the regiment embarked on the steamer "Grace Dar- ling," at New Albany, and proceeded down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans, where it was transferred to the barque "Sophia Walker" and on this vessel was carried to Point Isabelle, near the mouth of the Rio Grande. Here Colonel Drake reported to General Zachary Taylor and the First Indiana Infantry became a part of Gen- eral Taylor's army. At the expiration of one year the regiment was mustered out.
THE CIVIL WAR
For forty years after the passage of the Missouri Compromise Act in 1820, the slavery question was a "bone of contention" in nearly every session of the United States Congress. In the campaign of 1860 threats were made by some of the slave states that, in the event of Abraham Lincoln's election to the presidency, they would withdraw from the Union. The people of the North were inclined to believe that these threats would not be carried out, but they were somewhat rudely awak- ened on December 20, 1860, when a state convention in South Carolina passed an ordinance of secession. Mississippi seceded on January 9, 1861; Florida, January 10th; Alabama, January 11th; Georgia, Janu- ary 19th ; Louisiana, January 26th ; Texas, February 1st. Hence, when
207
HISTORY OF MIAMI COUNTY
Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated on March 4, 1861, he found seven states already in rebellion against his authority as president. Ordinances of secession were subsequently passed by the states of Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Major Robert Anderson, who was in command of the harbor defenses at Charleston, South Carolina, removed his garrison from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter, about the beginning of the year 1861, in order to be in a stronger position should an attempt be made to take possession of the defensive works about the city. The secessionists looked upon Ander- son's action as a hostile movement and began the construction of bat- teries with a view to reducing Fort Sumter. On January 9, 1861, the steamer "Star of the West," an unarmed vessel carrying supplies to Major Anderson, was fired upon and compelled to turn back. In the official records this incident is considered as the beginning of the great Civil war, but the general public was not thoroughly aroused to the gravity of the situation until three months later.
At 4:30 A. M., Friday, April 12, 1861, the first shot of the Civil war, as popularly understood, was directed against the solid walls of Fort Sumter. The little garrison promptly responded and for more than forty-eight hours the cannonading went on, when Major Anderson capitulated. He and his men were permitted to retire from the fort with all the honors of war, saluting the flag before it was hauled down. This occurred on Sunday, April 14, 1861, and the next day President Lincoln issued a call for 75,000 volunteers "to preserve the Union and suppress the rebellion."
All over the North, when the news that Fort Sumter had fallen was flashed by the telegraph, the excitement was intense. Political dif- ferences were forgotten in the general indignation at the insult offered to the flag. Before the news of the president's call had reached In- diana, Governor Morton sent the following telegram to Washington :
"Indianapolis, Ind., April 15, 1861. "To Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States :
"On behalf of the State of Indiana, I tender to you, for the defense of the Nation and to uphold the authority of the Government, ten thou- sand men.
"OLIVER P. MORTON, Governor of Indiana."
The next day the governor issued his proclamation calling for six regiments of infantry as the state's quota of the 75,000 troops asked for by the president. As Indiana had furnished five regiments for serv- ice in the Mexican war, to avoid historical confusion the first regiment
208
HISTORY OF MIAMI COUNTY
organized for the Civil war was numbered the Sixth. The Indiana regi- ments raised under the first call for volunteers, with the colonels com- manding, were as follows: Sixth, Thomas T. Chittenden; Seventh, Ebenezer Dumont; Eighth, William P. Benton; Ninth, Robert H. Mil- roy; Tenth, Joseph J. Reynolds; Eleventh, Lewis Wallace.
As soon as the news of the governor's proclamation reached Miami county, Captain John M. Wilson, who had served in the war with Mex- ico, commenced organizing a company. Captain Wilson received his commission on April 23, 1861, and, although he pushed the work of recruiting as rapidly as possible, the six regiments were made up be- fore he was ready to report. There were then twenty-nine companies at Camp Morton, Indianapolis, in excess of the number required by the call, and sixty-eight other companies organized and ready to re- port in different parts of the state. Under these circumstances, Gov- ernor Morton, on his own responsibility and under the power vested in him as commander-in-chief of the militia, determined to organize five regiments of twelve months' volunteers, "for the defense of the state, or for the service of the United States if a second call for volunteers should be issued."
THIRTEENTH INFANTRY
On May 6, 1861, the governor's action was sanctioned by the leg- islature, then in special session, in the passage of an act authorizing the governor to organize six regiments. These were numbered from the Twelfth to the Seventeenth, inclusive, and Captain Wilson's company was enrolled as Company B, Thirteenth Regiment, which was mus- tered into the United States service on June 19, 1861, for three years, with Jere C. Sullivan as colonel. The commissioned officers of the company at the time of muster in were: John M. Wilson, captain ; William H. Shields, first lieutenant; William F. Wallick, second lieu- tenant. Captain Wilson was afterward made major and promoted to lieutenant-colonel; Lieutenant Shields became captain, and Lieutenant Wallick was promoted to first lieutenant. William B. Vance also served as first lieutenant from July 15, 1863, until the expiration of his term of enlistment, and William H. Lowe, who succeeded him, was made captain of the company when the regiment was reorganized. George W. Rader, Silas Clark and Henry Sterne served as second lieutenants at different times. George W. Rader was promoted to regimental quartermaster and Silas Clark became captain of Company A when the regiment was reorganized in 1864. The muster roll of the company was as follows :
Henry Sterne, first sergeant, promoted to second lieutenant and

It was first engaged at the battle of Rich Mountain, where it lost eight killed and nine wounded. Among the engagements in which it took part were the battles of Alleghany, Deserted Farm, the siege of Forts Wagner and Gregg, nearly all the actions with General Butler's army south of Richmond, Cold Harbor, Strawberry Plains, the siege of Pet- ersburg and a number of minor skirmishes.

The first service of this regiment was in Tennessee and in the com- paign against Corinth, Mississippi. In February, 1863, the men were ordered to forage for horses, in order that the command might become mounted infantry, and it is said that they displayed a peculiar talent for finding horses concealed in the most unsuspected places. The men were then armed with the Spencer repeating rifle and as part of Wil- der's famous brigade took part in the engagements at Hoover's Gap, Chickamauga, a number of actions during the Atlanta campaign in 1864, and after the fall of Atlanta it was on duty in Georgia until mus- tered out at Macon on August 8, 1865.
