gaged in action, my regiment-officers and men-bore themselves with that gallantry, forbearance, and energy becoming veteran soldiers. Their justly earned laurels upon more sanguinary fields did not depreciate in the action before Chattanooga. They met the enemy, as upon former occasions, de- termined to defeat him at all hazards.
I amı, your obedient servant,
MILTON S. ROBINSON, Colonel, Commanding Seventy-fifth Indiana Volunteers.
In his report Colonel F. Van Derveer speaks thus of his Brigade and regimental commanders:
In this action my Brigade fully sustained the reputation it had won at Chickamauga. None flinched from their duty. I particularly commend the conduct of Colonel Kammerling, Ninth Ohio; Colonel Robinson, Seventy-fifth Indiana : Colonel Gleason, Eighty-seventh Indiana ; Lieuten- ant-Colonel Tolles, One-hundred and fifth Ohio ; Lieutenant-Colonel Doan, One-hundred and first Indiana; Lieutenant-Colonel Bishop, Second Min- nesota, and Lieutenant-Colonel Boynton, Thirty-fifth Ohio. These officers discharged their duties coolly and ably.
One of the two men killed in the Eighty-seventh Indiana was the young, gallant, dashing Corporal Solomon W. Deacon. Among the wounded in that Regiment were Lieu- tenants Jacob H. Leiter and Burr Russell, the latter mortally. Lieutenent Henry T. Waterman of the One-hundred and first Indiana was among the slain. In the casualties of the Thirty- fifth Ohio, Lieut .- Col. Henry V. Boynton, the commander of the Regiment, was wounded in the thigh, and Lieutenants Mather and Lambright of that Regiment were wounded, the former in the hand and leg, and the latter in the right shoul- der.
The bravery of the color-bearers of the Thirty-fifth Ohio (Corporal Kreiger) and of the Eighty-seventh Indiana (Cor- poral Platt) was remarkably conspicuous in the charge. Six out of seven color-guards of the Second Minnesota were killed and wounded.
" Battle-fields become a part of history equally with the story of the conflict enacted upon them. They are mapped in stone and steel and delineated in pen pictures, appear in

historic narration in intimate association with the deeds of heroes. Not alone do the topographical features, which sug- gest plans of battle and dominate tactical combinations, be- come historic, but those also of mere grandeur and beauty, whenever the hosts of war commingle in deadly strife, wliere nature has been lavish of her gifts. Even the name of him who may, perchance, offer his humble cot for the fire of war to burn, or its enginery to level, has association on the his- toric page with him who commands an army. And in all that is grandly concomitant with grandest battle, Chattanooga is preëminent." (Van Horne's Hist.)
If there be a spot of earth, on this continent, that should inspire an American with the tenderness and reverence asso- ciated with patriotism, it should be that consecrated ground on the banks of the Tennessee, where the dauntless Army of the Cumberland endured, suffered and fought in the memor- able fall and winter of 1863. If the ground that witnessed the Greek resistance to the Persians can for centuries thrill the world-if Thermopylae be a shrine, where the peoples of all the world love to reflect in memory of the immortal ranks that immolated themselves on the altar of patriotism-Mis- sionary Ridge is a God's-acre to those who love the memory of heroism never surpassed in a war waged for human free- dom. No battle-field with its hecatombs of dead-with its imperishable record of undying valor-can rival the place where Thomas, through starvation, held in check a formid- able foe on the hills surrounding Chattanooga, at the same time maintaining the discipline of his armny, when the com- monest needs of life were a rarity. In the coming ages, when men make pilgrimages to the scene of this almost superhuman endurance and bravery, they will need no guide to point out to them the field of this wondrous assault. Rust may eat away the cannon that were captured, and every vestige of the green graves and white monuments of the soldiers and their leaders may disappear; but there, with its granite slope, grim Missionary Ridge will forever stand a monument in commemoration of the battle.
