June 6th the Battery "(with the division) marched a
1

distance of six miles in the direction of Ackworth, bivouacking in the vicinity of Morris Hill's church, and within two miles of the railroad which runs through Ackworth; laying in reserve at this place until the 10th. when the center section, Lient. Ellison in command, was detached and joined in an engagement with Crufts brigade. June 11th the Battery took position on the line of battle and fired several rounds but did not become close- Iv engaged. On the 12th Lient Ellison's section was again closely engaged with Cruft's brigade, the boys of that section maintaining the reputation of the Battery for rapid and effective work! All was quiet till "June 14th. By order of Maj. Gen. Howard the 5th Indiana Battery, Twenty-sixth Penna. and Battery M. First Ill., Light Artillery opened fire on Pine Mountain."
Leonedas Polk of the Confederate army,in company with the Confederate Gens. Johnson and Hardee, were discor- ered by Maj. General W. T. Sherman commanding the Federal forces-surveying the Federal lines from an ex- posed point on Pine Mountain. One of the 3-inch Rod- man guns of the center section was under the personal direction of Gen. Sherman. "sighted" by gunner Frank MeCollum, the second shell exploding in the midst a fragment striking Gen. Polk upon the breast, inflicting a mortal wound.
On the 15th of June a general advance was made. The center section "was placed on Pine Mountain-the en- emy having evacuated during the night-the other two sections (right and left were placed in position upon a. ridge midway between Pine and Kennesaw Mountains, occupying the abandoned Confederate position. On the 16th the position of the Battery (two sections) was shifted to conform with the line of battle, occupying an eminence covered with thick forest which extended about 400 yards to the front, and, beyond which was a clear- ed field nearly 200 vard across; on the opposite side of this field was the Confederate skirmish line well en- trenched, and further back of the skirmish line was the Confederate artillery which had an "enfilading" or flank fire on the position of the Battery. Sergt. Conrad Bricker was severely wounded at this position a fragment of sbell striking him on the jaw and fracturing the bone. Early in the afternoon Capt. Simonson called for a detail of twelve men from the Battery (volunteers) for a special
17
purpose; leading them out in front of the Battery, sta- tioning a man at intervals of about 35 yards, thus form- ing a line of communication from his position in the vicinity of the Federal skirmish line to that of the Bat- tery, a distance of about 400 yards. The sequel of this ingenius and hazardous undertaking is best told by Maj. Gen. Stanley commanding the 1st Div. and upon whose staff Capt. Simonson as Chief of Artillery was often call- ed in council. Gen. Stanley in his official report of June 16th says "While laying ont a position for a battery, this day Capt. Peter Simonson Chief of Artillery of my Div- sion, was instantly killed by a Confederate sharpshooter. This was an irreparable loss to the Division. He never missed an opportunity, and allowed no difficulty to deter him from putting his batteries in every position that would prove annoying or destructive to the enemy." The manner in which he directed the firing of the Battery by this human telegraph line, proved exceedingly destructive to the Confederate lines, and while engaged in superin- tending the construction of a line of works by men from the "Pioncer Corps."-intending to place the 5th Ind., in the new position. as soon as darkness would, in a degree hide the movement ;- in a moment of inadvertence his body was exposed long enough for a sharpshooter to get in his deadly work; the ball penetrating his forehead, killing him instantly. The last message that came in over this human telegraph line was, "The Captain is killed bring a stretcher." Strong men were shaken with deep emotion. Gen. Stanley with others of the Division were soon ""in the presence of the dead," but none were more deeply affected than the boys of the Battery. A detail was made to prepare the body for transportation to his former home in Indiana. Lieut. Geo. Il. Briggs was grant- ed "leave of absence" to accompany the remains as far as Chattanooga where a metallic casket was obtained. Isaac Swihart, the brother-in-law of the Captain, was granted a twenty-day furlongh that he might escort the remains back to Columbia City, Indiana, where a sorrowing wife and heart-broken daughter, -- "the gem of the home,"-awaited in grief. the coming of the lifeless body of their hero dead. In the death of Capt. Simonson the Battery lost a true and tried friend, and though the "boys" had great confidence in the officers in immediate connnand, there was none that could fill the place vacated by the death
1
48
of their Captain. As soon as night spread its sable veil over the sad events of the past few hours the Battery moved out and occupied the position which, the now de- ceased Captain had selected. There was a silent sullenness, and an apparent feeling of revenge possessing every meui- ber of the Battery, that boded destruction to the Confed- crate forces if an opportunity was given. The morning of the 17th broke bright and clear, and with it came the discovery that the enemy had evacuated their strong line of works and had fallen back to stronger and more formidable ones around the slopes of Kennesaw. The Battery. (with the Division ) was advanced and opened with vigor on the entrenched lines of the Confederates. This "fire" with other batteries (60 pieces in all) was continued for some length of time, "by volleys" at inter- vals of five or six minutes, using solid shot and shell of various kinds. On the 18th a heavy downpour of rain set in, but with all, the Battery kept sending in its compli- ments occasionally during the entire day, and the next day moved forward again, the Confederates having fallen back to their inaccessable ( ?) stronghold on "Old Ken- nesaw." The Battery had no "close engagements" but was in action almost daily at greater or less intervals. The work of the Battery was somewhat on the intinerary plan. reporting in sections (by orders) to a chief of artillery of some other division, and subsequently to an- other. This was the result of having organized the artil- lery of the 4th Corps into a brigade and was commanded hy Capt. Tymnan Bridges. June 19th the left section oc- cupied a position near the foot of Kennesaw Mountain. opening with vigor and accuracy on the Confederate lines. On the 20th a requisition for the right section was made by the General commanding the Brigade. to advance to a position which was attempted but proved to be untenable. on account of its close proximity and exposure to a Con- federate battery and with very meager protection from the fire of that battery. The guns with the teams and drivers were left some distance back of the anticipated position, and in the shelter ( ?) of the timber while the cannoneers went forward with picks and shovels to strengthen the partially constructed works, but the con- federates were not slow in discovering the movement. and, divining the intent immediately opened upon the working force with canister. with such accuracy that
49
the cannoneers sought safety by throwing themselves flat mpon the ground: with solid shot the Confederates ent down immense limbs from the trees and soon had drivers, teams and guns entagled in a mass of limbs and tree tops. Word was sent in to Battery headquarters relative to the defenseless position and extremely hazard- ons undertaking, the messenger returning with orders to retire immediately. The teams and guns were soon re- leased from their unpleasant environments, but while retiring a man from the 10 Ind., Battery (a detail) was mortally wounded. On the afternoon of June 26th the Battery moved to a position about two miles farther to the right on the general line of battle, and early the next morning moved to a position in an open field, and promptly at S a. m. engaged with other batteries in com- nonading the Confederate works on Kennesaw, and for fifteen minutes, more than a hundred cannon of various caliber, poured missles of destruction upon "Kennesaw's brow" preparatory to the assault ordered by General Sher- man. The Battery remained in this locality until July 2nd, moved a distance of two miles, and on the 3rd, pass- ed through and beyond Marietta a distance of about four miles and bivonacked for the night in line of battle near the roailroad. The next morning, July 4th, the Battery began early the observance of the "Nation's Natal Day;" opening with shot and shell upon the enemy's entrenched lines. The "gopher holes" of the "Johnnies" were four or five hundred yards away partially hidden by a growth of corn fully waist high. The musketry and sharpshoot- ing from these outposts of the Confederates was accurate and destructive; two men of the left section were severely wounded, and the brave, fearless gunner, John Sickafoose, was mortally wounded while dextrously managing his gun. The left section was unavoidably in an exposed position and in consequence suffered greater loss; sev- eral horses were killed or badly wounded. The infantry charged under cover of the fire of the Battery at this point, and took the rifle pits with their contents-about 300 prisoners -- the destructiveness of the work of the Battery could now be seen, and fully realized-parts of the bodies of the men occupying these "pits" were strewn around promiseuously behind the now half demolished embankments ; many of the prisoners taken were wounded more or less severely; in the meantime, however, "from
1
50
another direction" the Confederates opened a brisk and effective fire upon the Battery, a private of the right section was severely wounded and two horses were killed. On the morning of the 5th another advance was made, the Confederates having retreated to the Chattahoochee river. The Battery "swung into line" and shelled their rear guard, and in the afternoon took position along the bluffs on the west bank of the river and paid its compliments to the Confederate forces in their entrenched position on the opposite side ; remaining at this position till the morning of the 10th, when the Battery again swung into the march- ing column at the designated time and place, marching up the river to the "Rosswell (Jeans) Mills," crossing the Chattahoochee on a pantoon bridge, and marching about three miles castward went into camp, where the Battery remained under orders to be ready to march at a mo- ment's notice, either a part of the entire Battery. On the 18th an advance of abont eight miles was made, bring- ing the Battery in the vicinity of the bridge-crossing of Nancy's Creek where a few well directed shells drove the Confederate cavalry from an attempt to burn the bridge. On the 19th another advance of two and a half miles was made, crossing Peachtree Creek, taking position on the "battle line" and engaged the enemy at intervals during the day. Again on the 20th of July an advance of two or three miles was made; about noon the battery engaged the enemy and continued till darkness set in; the right section however, was detached about 4 p. m. and was sent farther to the left when it became hotly engaged. having one man (private Lewis Gibson a detail of the 10th Ind. Battery) killed. On the 21st the Battery was en- gaged at intervals during the day shelling the Confeder- ate entrenchments which lay about 500 yards distant, the Confederates replying with musketry and sharpshooting. Thus the entire day was spent in a "give and take" action. As the lines were being contracted and the investment of Atlanta became an assured fact, the Battery kept pace with each advance and on the 23rd of July was placed in position about 1600 yards from the main lines of de- fense around Atlanta. The position of the Battery was fortified, and for the next succeeding thirty days aggregat- ed more than fifty "rounds" daily. In the meantime Sr. 1st Lieut Alfred Morrison was brevetted Captain of Vol- unteer Artillery. Other commissioned officers of the
$1
1
Battery were accordingly advanced a grade, and bugler W'm. Hulse was recommended for promotion to the 2nd Lieutenancy. The Battery boys were in a good healthy condition generally. but horses were greatly needed to till up the teams. On the morning of August 25th the Battery under orders again swung out into its place in the marching columns of the 4th Army Corps, in that memorable movement to the right which subsequently resulted in the evaenation and fall of Atlanta. The 4th Corps "swung around" to the right by way of the Sand- town road, the Battery, in the formation of the "line" was thrown into position in the vicinity of the Mount Gilead church but was not engaged. On the 27th the lines were advanced to the West Point and Lagrange railroad several hundred yards of which was destroyed, then pressing forward, the lines reached the Georgia State railroad on the 30th, and after a brisk engagement, in which a section of the Battery took part, possession was secured, the cannoneers assisting at tearing up sev- oral miles of track. Resuming the forward movement the enemy was again encountered near Jonesborongh, Sept. 1st ; the center section was again detached and sent to assist Cruft's Brigade to establish its lines. The construc- tion of breastwork was immediately begun by this section of the Battery on account of its exposed position, a log house which stood near by was pulled down and served an admirable purpose for the foundation of the breastworks, but the faithful Sergt., Joseph M. Allen of one of the guns, was seriously injured by a log accidentally falling upon him. At this position Sept. 2nd, the last discharge of the guns of the Fifth Indiana Battery "awoke the echoes" in the numerous wooded hills of this part of Georgia. Captain Lyman Bridges, Chief of Artillery of the 4th Army Corps, says in his report, "that on Sept. 5th in accordance with orders received from Maj. Gen. Stan- ley, all the artillery of the Corps was withdrawn from the front;" at near sundown the Battery (with others) took a position two miles north of Jonesborough. In the afternoon of Sept. 7th the Battery (with other troops) marched to "Rongh and Ready" a distance of seven miles in the direction of Atlanta. The next day the march was resumed ; marching through the deserted and dilapi- dated, but once beautiful and proud city-ATLANTA, GA., and going into camp about a mile east of the city late in
-

the afternoon. Here the Battery "rested from its labors" until the 20th of Sept. when an order was received by the commanding officers of the Battery to turn over the "en- tire armament and equipments to the Ordnance Depart- ment." The expiration of term of enlistment was near at hand. None scarcely realized the real sifinificance of the "order" to disarm the Battery, but it was only a little while after everything had been "shifted" to other hands, that "starting for home," was really thought of. The "boys" scarcely knew what to do with themselves, no horses to feed and water, no guns to "burnish" and guard; everything out of sight except the few personal belongings which were carefully folded and lay near at hand. There were ten of the original members of the Battery who had "veteranized." and a number of recruits whose time would not expire for some length of time. these were transferred to the 7th Indiana Battery; the remnant of the Fifth Indiana Battery left Atlanta on the afternoon of September 21st. 1864-"Taking position" on top of box cars which were filled with "refugees" and their household goods. Nothing worthy of record tran- spired along the way from Atlanta to Chattanooga, which latter place was reached on the evening of. the 23rd, here the men and officers were detained for "garrison duty"? until Nov. 15th. In the meantime a detail of seven men and a corporal was put upon the transport boat "Resaca" which plied the "limpid ( ?) waters" of the Tennessee below and above Chattanooga. Having received the final order for muster-out the men of the Battery again boarded the (box) cars on Nov. 16th, and without further incident reached Indianapolis, Ind., on Nov. 19th where. as one of the men subsequently declared, "we were stowed away in an old board shed that was but little better than the abandoned Confederate camp at Tullahoma. On the evening of the 26th of Nov., 1864, the "assembly" was called. The "bugle call" rang out clear and familiar, there was a prompt response, it was the last call for the Battery as a military organization-the last march that was made as such-reaching the office of the Army Pay- master, the roll was called for the last time and as each one's name was called he stepped into the office. received his pay in full with his honorable discharge ;- a majority having served a little more than three years. The Battery had marched over 2,200 miles, in all kinds of
weather-by day and by night -- was engaged in the fol- low battles :
Stephenson, Ala., Ang. 31st, '62; Perryville, Ky., Oct. Sth, '62; Stone River Tenn .. Dec: 31st, '62; and January 1st, '63; Liberty Gap. Toun .. June 24th, 25th, 1863 ; Chick- amanga, Ga., Sept. 19th, 20th, 263; Tummell Hill and Buzzard Roost, May 7th, 1864; Rocky Face, Ga., May 9th, 12th, inclusive. '64; Resaca, Ga., May 14th, 15th, '64. Kingston. Cassville, 16th, 18th, 19th, respectively ; Dallas, Ga., May 25th to June 5th inclusive; Pine Mountain, Ga., June 16th, '64; Ackworth. ( The center section) June 10th, '64; Kennesaw Mountain, June 17th to July 1st inchisive; Peach Tree Creek ( Burnt Hickory?) July 4th, '64; Chat- tahoochee River. July 6th, '64; Atlanta, July 23rd, Ang. 24th, inclusive ; Jonesborough. Ga., Sept Ist. Besides these regular battle and seige engagements, the Battery partici- pated in more than thirty skirmishes where artillery was used. There were nine of the members of the Battery killed instantly in action ; eight were mortally wounded. Twen- ty-two died in hospitals; one was killed by accidental dis- charge of a musket. Twenty seven were discharged prior to expiration of time of enlistment, for disabilities.
The following from the official report of Captain Lyman Bridges, Chief of Artillery of the 4th Army Corps, on the Atlanta Campaign, will be interesting as well as in- structive :
"Fifth Indiana Battery. Number of guns, six.
"Caliber :- 2 3-inch ritle gons; 4 12-pounders, ( Napo- Icons).
"Ammunition expended :- Twelve pounders, Solid shot 1243; Spherical ('ase, 1594; Fuse shell. 476; Canister, 49.
"Three-inch rifle guns-Solid shot, 20; Percussion Shells, 616; Fuse Shells, 967 : Case Shot, 1381; Canister, 86.
"Total of all kinds of 12-pounder Napoleons, 3,362.
"Total of all kinds for the 3-inch riflle guns, 3,070.
"Total for the entire Battery, 6,432.
"The Fifth Indiana Battery is officially mentioned 21 times during the Atlanta Campaign alone; a greater number of times than any of the other five batteries of the 4th Army Corps."
