The night was as dark as blicksen.
As soon as the salt was all loaded we boarded the cars and formed in line between the two rows of barrels. Learning by this time the Johnnie's advance was coming into the little town, our engine gave a few hard puffs and down the road we went with our cargo of salt and arrived in Mumfordsville safe and sound and with not a shot fired. Well, we thought we had dore it sure enough, it was a good trick. Old seasoned soldiers couldn't have done better. This happened on Friday night.
On the following day (Saturday) we received reenforce- ments of some two thousand men sent out from Louisville under Col. Dunnam. We spent the day in building additional fortifi- cations and in lining up generally for action. Saturday night about twelve o'clock Co. K (74th Reg.) was ordered out on the Nashville Pike one-half mile south and was deployed in a field adjoining the pike. We could hear the enemy's artillery and wagon trains coming over the stone road for several miles dis- tant. About daylight Sunday morning they had arrived within shooting distance and we could easily hear the commands given to the infantry. Soon a heavy line of skirmishers moved across the pike and bounded over the fence into our field and advanced
14
HISTORY OF THE 74TH
toward our little bunch. Things looked very inviting about that time. Our captain ordered Co. K to fall back over the fence into the timber. So over the fence we went, then halted and exchanged a few shots. We then moved back inside of our works. Co. K was hastily ordered to take position east of our heaviest fort. By this time the battle was on in dead earnest. The company held its position nobly. Col. Morgan, then cap- tain of Co. K, gallantly urged the men to use ammunition free- ly. Co. K at this point narrowly escaped capture by hurriedly falling back to the fort and taking position in a ditch which extended around the fort. Just at this time the enemy made a desperate charge along our whole line of works. They were re- pulsed with heavy loss in the charge, and they fell back and soon came again four columns deep but were repulsed again. Not- withstanding this, they came soon again with a determined effort to carry our works but they failed again, and with ter- rible loss. They then moved back out of range giving up the task for the time being. Our losses were small compared with the enemy's loss.
The enemy soon sent in an officer with a squad of men under a flag of truce wanting to borrow our picks and shovels to bury their dead. They were allowed to take them and in a few hours they returned them and withdrew the flag of truce leaving an order giving us two hours to surrender, and if we failed to comply with the orders we would be attacked again with the whole force which numbered about twelve thousand men and our strength was about thirty-five hundred men, this being the advance column of Bragg's army. Well we declined to a man to surrender, but to let them come again, but they failed to come. We lay in our trenches all night waiting for them to come. Scouts were sent out early on Monday morning and reported that there were no Johnnies within five miles.
The day was spent in cleaning up our guns and preparing for further action as we were well aware that Bragg's whole army of forty-five thousand men strong was not far away and moving in our direction.
By the next morning (Tuesday) they were within artillery range of our position, our artillery being in readiness for action as soon as the opportunity presented itself, to notify the enemy that the Yanks were there yet. Bragg had in the meantime sent a large force including artillery across the river immediate- ly on our rear, and planted artillery in plain view on a high bluff on the river bank about a half a mile distant. Our artil- lery opened fire and if I remember correctly the second shot from our artillery dismounted one of their guns. They immedi-
15

ately vacated the position. By this time Bragg's whole army had moved into position completely surrounding our forces and had begun to throw shell and solid shot from different directions into our camp, a fierce artillery battle was kept up for a few hours. The firing ceased and soon a flag of truce was sent in demanding our surrender. Our commander refused to consider it. Soon another white flag was sent in and was refused same as was the previous demand. The enemy permitted the flag of truce to remain. Finally Bragg sent in a special escort bearing a message to Gen. Dunnam, our commander, offering to allow him and the other officers to go out under a flag of truce and inspect their lines and strength in order to convince them that our forces could not hold out. Negotiations were kept up until two o'clock a. m. At that time conditions of surrender were agreed upon, namely : Officers to retain their side arms, and men their pocket knives, pocket-books and cash if they had any, and would issue us three days' rations out of our supplies we had on hand. They agreed to parole us on the following day and would then march us under truce and escort to Gen. Buell's lines.
The second day after the surrender we marched into Buell's lines. We moved on to Bowling Green and drew rations there. From there we marched to Brandonburgh, on the Ohio river, crossed the river, and marched to Corriden, Indiana. From this point we went to Indianapolis by rail and took quarters in Camp Carrington. Remained there until the last of November, wore exchanged and ordered to join our regiment at Castilian. Springs, Tennessee. We joined the regiment on December 6th.
The foregoing is made up from the best of my recollections, now forty-eight years after the incidents.
Truly yours, B. H. DUNNUCK. Co. K., 74th Indiana Vol.
HEADQUARTERS THIRD DIV. 14th A. C.,
Jonesboro, Ga., Sept. 3, 1864.
General Order No. 18:
Soldiers of the Third Division :
You have again covered yourselves with glory. It was not necessary for the heroes of Chickamauga and Mission Ridge to do more to illustrate the valor of American soldiers. You have gone through the long and arduous campaign, enduring all its
1
16
HISTORY OF THE 74TH
hardships and fatigues; the work you have been called upon to perform has always been perfectly accomplished and your losses in daily and nightly conflicts with the enemy have equalled the casualties of a great battle. Always near the enemy he has never dared to attack your lines, and at the end of the cam- paign you might have gone to your homes with proud satisfac- tion, although not privileged to take part in its more brilliant and dazzling events. The opinion had, however, grown prev- alent that entrenchments well defended either by the enemy or ourselves, could not be carried by assault, and it was secured for our gallant Third Brigade in the front of Jonesboro to disprove this, and in so doing, give the finishing stroke to the Atlanta campaign. Eleven hundred men of the 74th Ind., 10th ky., and 14th and 38th Ohio Regiments, you assaulted works of extremely difficult approach, defended by the boasted fighting troops of the Rebel army, and under a murderous fire of canister and musketry you carried them with the bayonet, tak- ing nearly as many prisoners as your own number. The loss you sustained (one out of every three engaged being struck) shows how desperate was the struggle and how magnificent your success. Comrades, I congratulate you, and am proud to be your commander. So long as glory is prized and bravery hon- ored among men, it will be the boast of your descendants that you belonged to this army.
