for 2d Lieutenant. The officers were commissioned September 20, 1861, and mustered in with the Company November 22, following.
CAPTAINS.
Albert Heath entered the service as Captain, at date above mentioned, led his Company at the battle of Fort Donelson, and acted as Major for the Regiment at Shiloh, where he was conspicuous for daring bravery. In the afternoon of the first day of the battle, while the Regiment was fighting on the left, and during the momentary absence of the Colonel, who was obeying some order from the Brigade commander, the acting Major ordered a charge, and crying out, "Remember Buena Vista," led on. The men bravely followed, but were slaughtered in the few moments that followed more than during any hour of the day. He received honorable mention by the Colonel in his official report, led his Company on from there to Corinth, Battle Creek, Louisville, and back to Nashville, when he was pro- moted to Lieutenant-Colonel of the 100th Regiment, and afterward to Colonel. Was wounded under Sher- man at Missionary Ridge. Resides now at San Fran- cisco, Cal.
