seemed as thoughi a thousand of bullets whistled around him and he was the only target. His horse was shot from under him, pulling off one boot. He surrendered and was relieved of his fire arms, watch, etc. The commanding officer permitted him to return well guarded to get his boot. The guards in searching him overlooked sixty dollars in greenbacks in his vest pocket. This proved a great bless- ing to him in his long march to prison and his prison life. The long march from Marks Mill to Camp Ford, Tyler, Texas, was very trying on his health. Two days before they arrived at camp, he told the Commanding General that he would have to have an ambulance. The general said he could not furnish one, but gave him his horse to ride to camp. Upon reaching camp he had a long spell of sick- ness. The General called on him asking if he could be of any assistance to him. The Captain replied that he would like some coffee, but supposed it could not be obtained. The General said that his wife had some, and the next day she came with coffee and three ginger snaps.
On the march to camp he was purveyor. At night, upon pitching tent, the enemy furnished them meal; this was put on their old blankets and he had to distribute it with three quart cups. Then the beeves were brought up and shot down. The prisoners had to butcher them with just three pocket knives and an old ax. This he distributed among his men, numbering about 500. He was superintendent of a work party to get fuel and comforts in the hospital which was just outside of the stockades. This work he continued as long as he was in prison, ten months. His enlistment expired while in prison, but was not remustered till April 28, 1865, at Indianapolis. Upon being exchanged, there were 40 sick men unable to care for themselves. He vol- unteered to care for them until they could reach Shreve- port, if the enemy would furnish wagons, which they did,

ten men to each wagon. One man died on the way. They reached their destination Feb. 26, 1865. He was then sent with them to Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis. From there lic came home, staid a few days with his family, and then re- ported at Indianapolis, having been absent about 40 months.
While at Indianapolis he was "Officer of the Day", and had command of the troops that guarded the State Capitol, while President Lincoln lay there in state.
May 20, 1865, was commissioned Major. June 1, 1865, was chosen to act upon Court Martial duty, at Cambridge, Ohio. This court was in session three months. They dealt with two criminals, both of whom were sentenced to be hung.
He was discharged at the expiration of the war, Sept. 1st, 1865.
A SUCCESSFUL FORTY-THIRDER.
AMONG the old boys of the 43d who have achieved a fine measure of success since their discharge from the mili- tary service, is Lieutenant Alexander M. Scott. Leaving the regiment in 1864, for twenty years he was a successful merchant. During the last 15 years, he has been the cashier of the bank at Ladoga, Montgomery County. In these years he has been three times elected a member of the Legis- lature from his county, in which body he has served with distinction. For thirty years he has been treasurer of the public school board of his town. He is at present a miem-

ber of the Board of Trustees of the "Indiana State Soldiers' Home," at Lafayette. He is a member of the "Loyal Le- gion," and has been a decided success in everything he has undertaken. In his bright lexicon there is no such word as "fail." He has "got there Eli," with both feet. His pic- ture adorns this work. It shows him still, we are pleased to say, a young man, in the prime of his youth and beauty.
A SUMMARY OF THE FORTY-THIRD'S RECORD.
THE official records in the War Department, at Washing- ton, D. C., will show that the 43d is entitled to have the following names conspicuously emblazoned upon its banners:
NEW MADRID, ISLAND NO. 10, FORT PILLOW, MEMPHIS, DUVALL'S BLUFF, HELENA, YAZOO PASS, LITTLE ROCK, PRAIRIE DE ANN,
ELKINS' FORD, MARKS' MILL, JENKINS' FERRY, EMINENCE, KY.
New Madrid, Island No. 10, Fort Pillow, and Memphis opened the Mississippi River, from the Ohio to Vicksburg. The importance of the capture of New Madrid and Island
122
FORTY-THIRD REGIMENT
No. 10, the abandonment of Fort Pillow by the Confed- erates, after a protracted siege, and the capture of Memphis, can hardly be estimated, so far as their value was concerned, to the Union cause.
The victory at Helena was, by all odds, the most brilliant Union victory obtained west of the Mississippi River, and was the most crushing blow which the Confederates had in all that immense territory. In referring to the 43d Regi- ment, Major General B. M. Prentiss, who commanded the Union forces in that battle, in his official report, said; "My thanks, as well as those of the Nation at large, are due to Colonel William E. McLean, 43d Indiana Infantry, command- ing 1st Brigade, who held the left flank, and rendered very efficient service on the left wing of the center". (See Volume 22, Series 1, Page 390 of "War of the Rebellion. Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies.")
The Yazoo Pass Expedition was important, as it diverted a large force from the Confederate defense of Vicksburg.
The importance of the capture of Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, will be conceded.
The battles of "Prairie De Ann", and "Elkins Ford", opened the way for Steele's army, in its march, from Little Rock to Camden. The battle of Elkins Ford was the only engagement, of any significance, in the whole "BANKS EXPEDITION" in which the Union forces were successful.
The battle of "Marks Mill"', while it resulted in the capture of nearly 1,000 prisoners, was a sad blunder from a Confederate standpoint.
The battle of "Jenkins Ferry" was the bloodiest, mnost closely contested, and in short the ugliest engagement from every standpoint, fought west of the Mississippi River.
It was the "Essling" of all the battles of the Trans-Miss- issippi Department-a battle barren of results, except in the appalling loss of life, upon both sides.
