min, unaccounted for ; Young, Henry, un- accounted for. The Twenty-eighth regi- ment, United States Colored Troops, as at first organized in April, 1864, formed a part of Indiana's quota, and did valuable service in the field, especially in the campaign against Petersburgh, dur- ing the sunimer and fall of 1864. It lost heavily in the seven engagements in which it participated. Its decimated ranks were filled with recruits, and after some ac- tive field service the regiment was selected for duty in the quartermaster's department at City Point, at which place it remained until called on to assist in operating against Richmond. It was among the first organi- zations to enter Richmond, and was de- tained at Camp Lee for three days. From there it was sent to City Point, to take charge of prisoners. Here it remained until the Twenty-fifth corps, to which it be- longed, was ordered to Texas, when it pro- ceeded to Brazos Santiago, where it arrived July 1, 1865. It remained some time at Indianola, and then at Corpus Christi, until mustered out of service November 8, I865.

Miscellaneous List of Officers and Men. At the outbreak of the war there was such a general desire to enlist, that many men in the county of Vanderburgh, and especially in the city of Evansville, were unable to get their names on the rolls of companies being formed at home, and joined the organiza- tions of other counties and of other states. A captain who had failed to get his company into the organizations of our own state, busied himself in negotiating for an attach- ment to some regiment belonging to a neigh- boring state, and if he succeeded was considered fortunate. In the spring of 1861 there was a very strong complaint, which found its way into the press, that Indiana was not allowed to furnish her just propor- tion of the troops needed. The prominent public men were called to account for their failure to look after the interests of the people. Because of this it is impossible to say how many men Vanderburgh county gave to the nation in the hour of its peril. They were accredited to other localities, and it is not possible to record their names here.
Later in the war many recruits obtained by voluntary enrollment and by the draft, were unassigned, and the muster out rolls fail to afford information as to their places of residence. Indeed, many cases appear where men rendered valuable and honorable service, such as entitles them to the grateful remembrance of the present generation, the beneficiaries of their heroic endeavors, and yet because of a failure on the part of the mustering officer to make a record of the soldier's residence it is impossible to write their names in the account of what Vanderburgh county did in the war of 1861-5. The following is a list of such officers and men as have not heretofore received mention, and is as accurate and complete as it is possible to secure: Com- pany F, Ninth regiment -Douglas, Lee, drafted 1864, mustered out August 20, 1865; Kaiser, Frederick, drafted 1864, mustered out August 20, IS65; Maffit, John J., drafted 1864, died at Indianola, Tex., August 7, 1865; Skeels, Daniel, drafted 1864, mustered out August 20, 1865.
