Although there was no battle or glory won by the Twenty third, during the winter of 1861, there was much good service rendered in preserving the peace and quietness of the surrounding counties, and protecting the lives and property of Union men. During the months of December, 1861, and January, 1862, large numbers of men who had served six months in 23

the rebel army returned by the way of Lexington; many of these men claimed to have returned under General Pope's proclamation, and demanded protection, although the time mentioned in that proclamation had long before expired. Some of these men were heartily sick of the rebel army, and were anxious to return to their allegiance, but the majority of them banded together, in small squads, for the purpose of recruiting for the rebel army.


· On the twenty-fifth of January, 1862, Lieutenant-Colonel Jacob Smith resigned his position, for the purpose of accepting a judgeship, tendered him by His Excellency, the Governor of the State of Missouri, and the vacancy was filled by the appointment of Quin Morton, a man who had distinguished himself in the memorable defense of Lexington, Missouri, and rendered good service to Colonel Mulligan as a volunteer aid.


In March, 1862, Colonel Jacob T. Tindall received an order from the commanding general of this department, to proceed with his regiment to St. Louis, Missouri, and report to the commanding officer at Benton Bar- racks, Missouri. On the arrival of the regiment at Benton Barracks, Colo- nel Tindall set to work to reclothe the men, and exchange the Austrian rifle, with which the entire regiment was then armed, for the Springfield musket, caliber sixty-nine. By the end of March, 1862, the regiment was in fine order, well clothed, well armed, and anxious to see active service.


On the first of April, 1862, the entire regiment started for Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, arriving at that place on the fourth instant. Upon re- porting to Maj .- Gen. U. S. Grant, then commanding the Army of the Tennessee, Colonel Tindall was ordered to report with his regiment to Brig .- Gen. B. M. Prentiss, commanding the Sixth Division, and in pursu- ance of said order, he proceeded to disembark, which consumed the greater portion of the next day. On the morning of the sixth, the regiment, un- der command of Lieutenant-Colonel Quin Morton, left Pittsburg Landing to join the Sixth Division, then supposed to be about three miles distant from the Landing. After marching about two miles, a large number of stragglers from the Eighteenth and Twenty-fifth Missouri Volunteers, were met coming towards the Landing in great disorder, and on being questioned as to the cause, stated that their regiments had been cut to pieces.


About this time, an officer of Brigadier General Prentiss's staff rode up to the commanding officer of the regiment and ordered him to prepare his regiment for action, upon which the regiment was brought to a halt and the men ordered to unsling their knapsacks. Here they disencumbered thein- selves of everything, except their guns and accouterments, placing their property in a pile, and with a cheerfulness and alacrity seldom seen, pre- pared to fight their first battle; this was about nine o'clock on the morning of the sixth of April, 1862, a report of which, by Lieutenant-Colonel Quin Morton, will be found at the close of these remarks.

In June, 1862, the regiment was ordered to Benton Barracks, and con- tinued on duty there and in the city of St. Louis, until they were ordered southward to reinforce the Army of the Cumberland.


LEXINGTON, MISSOURI, December 1, 1862.


GOVERNOR: I deem it my duty to make a report of the action of the Twenty-third Regiment Missouri Volunteers, at Pittsburg Landing, on April 6th, 1862. At seven o'clock A. M., by order of Col. J. T. Tindall, I marched the regiment in the direction of General Prentiss's camp. After marching about two miles, an officer of General Prentiss's staff ordered us to halt and prepare for action, which was promptly done. As soon as the regiment was placed in position, the enemy opened fire on us from a battery, at about four hundred yards distance, which was con- tinued without intermission for two hours.


We were then ordered to change our position and to engage a large force of the enemy who were pressing upon the center, which was done. After a severe engagement at the distance of twenty-five or thirty yards, we drove the enemy back, not, however, without serious loss. We held the position assigned us until four o'clock P. M., fighting almost without intermission, at which time we were ordered to change our front to meet the enemy, who had outflanked us. Here we fought until five o'clock, driving the enemy back, although they charged us frequently during the time. Again we were compelled to change our position, and soon after this change we were sur- rounded and fired upon, from front and rear, by two batteries and infantry. Here there was a most terrible shower of shot and shell. We repulsed the enemy in our rear and determined to try and reach the main body of the army, which had fallen back to the river; and in the effort to lead our now. broken forces back, the gallant and much lamented Colonel Tindall fell, shot through the body, after having done his duty most nobly during the day.


After retiring about two hundred yards, were met by a large force of the enemy, and compelled to surrender at about six o'clock P. M., after ten hours almost incessant fighting. Officers and men behaved nobly. I feel it my duty to mention the gallant conduct of Major John Mccullough, who displayed great coolness and bravery throughout the day. Captains Dunlap, Robinson, and Brown, and Adjutant Martin, and Lieutenants Munn and Sims were wounded. Thirty privates were killed, about one hundred and seventy wounded, and three hundred and seventy five were taken prisoners.


This report would have been made earlier, but being a prisoner until very recently, I have not been in a situation to make it.


Most respectfully, your obedient servant,


QUIN MORTON,


Lieutenant-Colonel Twenty-third Regiment Missouri Volunteers. To His Excellency, H. R. GAMBLE. Governor of Missouri.

HISTORY OF LINN COUNTY.


The Thirty-third Missouri Infantry was recruited under the patronage of the Union Merchants' Exchange, of St. Louis, and was therefore styled the " Merchants' Regiment." Its original field officers were: colonel, Clinton B. Fisk, secretary of the Merchants' Exchange; lieutenant-colonel, Wil- liam A. Pyle, captain in First Missouri Artillery; major, W. H. Heath, adjutant of the Eighteenth Illinois Infantry.


It was ordered to the field September 22, 1862, under command of Lieu- tenant-Colonel Pyle, and made several severe marches through Phelps, Dent, Texas, and Wright counties, Missouri. December 19, returned to St. Louis. December 23 Colonel Fisk was appointed brigadier-general, Lieutenant-Colonel Pyle was made colonel, and Major Heath lieutenant- colonel. Same day the regiment moved by steamer to Columbus, Ken- tucky, that place being threatened. January 5, 1863, moved to Helena, Arkansas, and took part in General Gorman's expedition to Duvall's Bluff, Arkansas, returning to Helena January 20, at which place more than one hundred men died from exposure within one month. February 24, formed part of Gen. L. F. Ross' expedition to Fort Pemberton, Mississippi, known as the " Yazoo Pass expedition." Regiment was under fire here for the first time, doing efficient service in constructing field works, mounting siege guns, reconnoitering the enemy's position, and capturing his pickets. April 8 returned to Helena, and May 5 the regiment was placed in charge of the fortifications and artillery of that garrison, numbering eighteen pieces of heavy and light caliber. Same date, four siege guns were taken from the fortifications and replaced by light artillery. July 14, 1863, the regi- ment, supported by detachments of the Forty-third Indiana, Thirty-third Iowa, and Thirty-fifth Missouri, held their works against the combined forces of Price, Holmes, and Marmaduke, repelling numerous heavy assaults, and sustaining a continuous musketry fire for six hours. Total loss of the regiment in this fight was forty-nine. Although this was the first battle in which the regiment had borne part, their intrepidity is sufficiently at- tested by the terrible punishment inflicted upon the enemy as compared with the small loss sustained by the regiment. January 28, 1864, left Hel- ena with troops of General Sherman to join the expedition to Meridian, Mississippi. Regiment temporarily assigned to General Veatch's division, and marched with it to Clinton, Mississippi. Ordered back and assigned to General Tuttle's division. March 10 General Joseph A. Mower assumed command of the division, and the regiment moved from Vicksburg, with the expedition to Red River, Louisiana. March 14 regiment was present, in reserve, at the capture of Fort DeRussey. March 21 the regiment, in conjunction with the Thirty-fifth Iowa, captured Henderson Hill, Louis- iana, by a midnight surprise and assault, securing the Second Louisiana Tigers (cavalry) and Edgar's Texas battery, with horses, arms, ammunition, and colors complete. April 9 regiment took part in the gallant and over-


372


HISTORY OF LINN COUNTY.


whelming defeat of the enemy at Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, capturing a five- gun battery in the final charge.


In this battle Lieutenant-Colonel Heath received a wound in the head, and the command of the regiment fell to Major Van Beck. May 16 the regiment took part in the battle of Marksville, Louisiana; losses small. May 18 took part in the battle of Bayou de Glaize. May 24 the troops of the Sixteenth Army Corps returned to Vicksburg. June 6, the regiment took part in the attack upon Marmaduke's forces at Old River Lake, Ar- kansas, Major Van Beck, by seniority, commanding third brigade, Mower's division, and Capt. A. J. Campbell, company C, commanding the regiment. This brigade, composed of the Thirty-third Missouri and Thirty-fifth Iowa, was ordered to charge the enemy, who were strongly posted on the opposite side of a bayou, and made the charge in gallant style, passing over the skirmishers of another brigade, which had failed to advance, and moving unflinchingly forward to the bank of the bayou, which was then found to be unfordable. Notwithstanding this obstacle they stood up bravely, and at forty paces distance poured in such a galling fire that the rebels broke and ran in confusion. The regiment lost here in a few minutes forty-one men; rebel loss not great, but the fight compelled the withdrawal of a battery from Columbia, Arkansas, which had seriously interrupted the navigation of the Mississippi River. June 10 the regiment arrived at Memphis, Ten- nessee, and immediately joined an expedition against Lee and Forrest, in Mississippi, Lieutenant-Colonel Heath having returned and assumed com- mand. July 13 guarding train during an attack upon it by Lee's cavalry. July 14 took part in the battle at Tupelo, Mississippi, joining in the charge and driving the rebel lines, capturing one cavalry squadron. July 15 took part in second battle at Tupelo, joining in a second charge and routing the enemy. Total losses in the three days' fighting, thirty-six men. July 22 arrived in Memphis. July 31 moved from Memphis with expedition to Oxford, returning to Memphis August 30. September 3 moved from Mem- phis with General Mower's column to reinforce General Steele. Septem- ber 17 moved from Brownsville, Arkansas, to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Moved by steamer to St. Louis, arriving October 9, and remaining but one day to draw clothing, pushed on immediately up the Missouri River to join the column against Price. October 18, the regiment being too much re- duced in numbers and officers to be effective in the field, was ordered to garrison California and Tipton, Missouri. November 17 the regiment re- turned to St. Louis. November 24 moved by water from St. Louis to Nashville, Tennessee, to aid in the defense of that city against Hood.


Since its organization the regiment has marched nearly one thousand five hundred miles besides many thousand miles travel by water and rail, and has lost in killed and wounded a total of one hundred and seventy men; has captured two flags, six pieces of artillery, and many prisoners. It has


373


HISTORY OF LINN COUNTY.


been very fortunate in having young and energetic line officers, and in all its service has had but two officers killed and two seriously wounded. The regiment had originally nearly one thousand men and has received about sixty recruits. It numbers now four hundred and ninety men, aggregate, but three hundred and seventeen of these being fit for active duty.


I remain, General, very respectfully, your obedient servant, WILLIAM H. HEATH, Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding.

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, November 7, 1865. Colonel Samuel P. Simpson, Adjutant-General of Missouri:


SIR: In reply to your request for a history of operations of the Thirty- third Regiment Missouri Infantry Volunteers, in 1865, I have the honor to say after my last report to you the regiment participated in the battles of Nashville, December 15 and 16, 1864, joining in charging the rebel battery on Hillsboro pike, December 15, and in the grand charge on the 16th which broke Hood's army finally to pieces, the loss in this latter charge being forty-three killed and wounded, among them Adjt. S. E. Day and First Lieutenant Thomas Rutledge. The regiment then marched with the Six- teenth Army Corps to Clifton, Tennessee, and from there by transport to Eastport, Mississippi, remaining at the latter place until February 6, when it joined the column for the reduction of Mobile, moving by transports via New Orleans to Pensacola Bay, and thence to Dauphin Island; here joined General Canby's column, and participated in the siege of Spanish Fort and Blakely, having five wounded at the former place. After the reduction of Mobile, moved by land to Montgomery, Alabama, and from there by water to Selma, Alabama, May first; remained at Selma as provost guard until the 20th of July, 1865, when the regiment received orders to proceed to St. Louis for muster out, where it arrived August 3, and was mustered out of service August 10, 1865.


I have the honor to be your obedient servant,


WILLIAM H. HEATH, Brevet-Colonel Volunteers.

The following history of the services of the regiment has been derived from an official report:


The organization of the Forty-second Regiment Infantry, Missouri Volun- teers, was commenced under the auspices of Colonel William Forbes about the second of August, 1864. It was supposed at this date that the regiment was being recruited for home service. About the last of the month several embryo companies were collected at Macon, and recruiting progressed rapidly. All available men were kept constantly on the scout, and with what success official reports of operations at the time will indicate.


On the fifteenth day of September the regiment numbered nine hundred men (it afterwards numbered nine hundred and fifty-six). On the twenty-third of September Lientenant-Colonel Stauber was ordered to Sturgeon, Missouri, with companies A, C and H; they remained at that point and at Columbia, Missouri, during Price's raid. The other companies of the regiment were stationed along the line of the North Missouri and Hannibal & St. Joseph railroads, with headquarters at Macon. A portion of the regiment was mounted, and did scouting duty in Macon, Randolph, Chariton, Howard, Boone, and Monroe counties, until the tenth of November, 1864, when orders were received from General Rosecrans to proceed at once to Paducah, Ken- tucky. The command was ordered to rendezvous at Macon, from which point it started on the twelfth, and arrived at St. Louis on the thirteeth. The regiment was reported to General Rosecrans, with the statement that the


375


HISTORY OF LINN COUNTY.


organization was incomplete-the field and several of the line officers not having been commissioned. We were ordered to Benton Barracks; re- mained there until the twenty-ninth. The commissions were received, mus- ters made and the regiment paid during the interim.


On the twenty-ninth, in pursuance of original order, we started on trans- ports, and reported on the second of December to General Meredith at Padu- cah, Kentucky. We were ordered by him to proceed at once to Nashville and there report to General Thomas. We arrived at Clarksville, Tennessee, on the fitth of December, where, by order of Colonel Smith, Eighty-third Illinois Infantry, through instructions from General Thomas, we returned to Fort Donelson, Tennessee. We arrived at Fort Donelson on the sixth, and re- mained at Fort Donelson until the thirtieth. During the time death held high carnival in our camp, one hundred and fifty men being buried there. On the thirtieth we started for Nashville, and arrived there on the thirty- first; remained there awaiting transportation until the second of January. Started on the second for Tullahoma, Tennessee; arrived at Tullahoma on the third. Colonel Forbes was given command of the post, and retained it until mustered out. About the twelfth of January Lieutenant-Colonel Stauber, with a detachment of the regiment, was sent by General Milroy to intercept Lyon, who was returning from his Kentucky raid. The enterprise failed, but chase was given and several of Lyon's men captured. About the same time Captain Lewis, in command of Company A, and a detachment of Company K, were sent to McMinnville, Tennessee, and remained there until ordered to be mustered out.


Detachments from this time forward were constantly on the scout. On the twenty-second of March Colonel Forbes, one assistant surgeon, and the chaplain, were mustered out by order of Major-General Thomas.


The time of three six months companies, H, I and K, having expired, thereby reducing the number of the regiment below the minimum, about the same time the remainder of the regiment was ordered to Shelbyville, Tennessee, where it remained as a garrison, doing occasional scouting ser- vice, until the twenty-third of June, when, under orders of the department commander, we proceeded to Nashville, where we were mustered out on the twenty-eighth of June, 1865. Thence we proceeded to St. Louis, arriving there on the second of July, and were finally discharged and paid on the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth, at St. Louis, Missouri.

HISTORY OF LINN COUNTY.


The company was recruited from Linn, Sullivan, Putnam, Mercer, and Grundy counties, the names above given all being from Linn county. It was mustered into the United States service at Benton Barracks, St. Louis, Missouri, March 16, 1864. In the early spring of that year, it accompanied the regiment from St. Louis to Memphis, Tennessee, where it entered the field under the command of General Hatch, and continued in active service from that time until the close of the war. The regiment was under the command of General Hatch, of Iowa, until after the close of the fighting with Confederates under General Hood, in their retreat from Nashville, Tennessee, in December, 1864.


In March, 1865, Company M, including all of the Third Battalion of the Twelfth Regiment, was detailed to go with General James H. Wilson, on his rapid march through Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. The com- pany started on that campaign, on the twenty-fifth of March, 1865, from East- port, Mississippi, and was on the entire march made by General Wilson, end- ing at Macon, Georgia, April 22, 1865. They afterwards returned to this State by way of Atlanta, Georgia, Chattanooga, Nashville, through Kentucky, reaching St. Louis, Missouri, June 29, 1865. The battalion (companies I, K, L, and M) was afterwards ordered to join the regiment, which had been sent to Omaha, Nebraska, and then to Fort Kearney, Nebraska, where Captain Smith's resignation was accepted, September 13, 1865. The regi- ment's term of service was concluded on the plains. Captain Smith left the command at Fort Kearney, September 14, 1865, and returned to his home in Linneus in the latter part of the same month.
