and would have soon been obliged to retreat, and thus lose an important objective point on the route to the heart of the Rebel Confederacy. A lodgment being effected in the valley, the regiment and division remained encamped in the vicinity of Kelley's Ford, near the Tennessee River and under the frowning shadow of Lookout Mountain.
On the 24th of November occurred the celebrated " Battle above the Clouds." The advance was led by the 149th, which added to its already well- established fame by the capture of four stand of rebel colors, and a number of prisoners, arms and ammunition.
The following letter, written on the spot, is a truthful and graphic description of the battle and of the position of the 149th :
"The advance was led by the troops of General Geary's division of the 12th corps. The men com- menced ascending the mountain over a mile from the front, and, regardless of the rebel picket fire, a line was formed leading from the base of an almost perpendicular ledge of rocks, on the left, to our own picket line, about three-fourths of the distance down the mountain. Three lines were formed, the 2d division leading the advance and the 149th oc- cupying the left of the first line. When the order to advance was given, our men started forward with a cheer over the rugged sides of the mountain, totally regardless of any obstacle in their way and almost ignoring the sharp fire of the rebel infantry, who attempted to stop their progress. With an enthusiasm which knew no bounds, they rushed over hills and through gorges, climbing towering rocks, dashing through brushwood and fallen timber, and scarcely stopping even to take prison-
ers. They swept over the side of the mountain and around its frowning front with the rapidity and force of the whirlwind, completely overcoming and conquering every obstacle, both natural and artifi- cial, which attempted to impede their progress.
" No military achievement of this or any other war, exceeded, for dash and daring, personal bravery, contempt of extraordinary obstacles and complete and perfect success, this charge of the 2d division around the point of Lookout Mountain. The rebel forces were literally swept from the mountain side, driven from fastnesses and intrenchments they had considered impregnable, captured in their strong- holds, and every vestige of their power swept before us like leaves before the autumn gale."
The battle of Lookout Mountain was followed by an immediate advance of the whole army, in which the 149th bore an active part. On the second of December, another severe fight took place, which resulted in the capture of the valley of the Ring- gold and its occupancy by the Union forces, with an officer of the 149th as Provost Marshal of the captured town. The campaign ending with the capture of Mission Ridge, our men fell back to their
old camping ground at the base of Lookout Moun- tain, where they remained till after New Year's, 1864, enduring severe hardships and almost star- vation, in consequence of the impossibility of for- warding supplies. During this period the 149th was complimented by a public delivery of their captured rebel flags to Gen. Hooker ; and after being almost re- duced to starvation were removed to Stevenson and remained till spring in preparation for the next cam- paign. The stay here was a season of comparative ease and festivity ; rations plenty, supplies abundant and labor light. The few inhabitants treated them kindly. Capt. Park Wheeler was detailed to " keep hotel," and proved himself no unworthy landlord of the "Soldiers' Home." Among the attractions which rendered the stay in Stevenson pleasant to many of the 149th was the presence of ladies, the wives of several of the officers, who, during this season of quiet, visited their husbands and friends at camp-Mrs. Col. Ireland, Mrs. Surgeon Kendall, Mrs. Capt. Wheeler and others, whose presence lent a charm to camp life not elsewhere experienced during the war.
May 2, 1864, began the movement of the troops in the famous Atlanta campaign. Their progress was first intercepted at Resaca where the rebel force under Johnston was concentrated and had burned the bridge across the Coosawattee River. Howard had entered Dalton on the heels of Johnston's force and had pressed him down to Resaca. Sherman at once set on foot a flanking movement to drive him out. Johnston made a counter move- ment by attacking Hooker and Schofield on his front and left. He was defeated in the bloody con- test which ensued, Hooker driving the enemy from several hills, taking four guns and many prisoners. The rebels retreated across the Oostenaula during the night, and our army entered Resaca in triumph next morning. From this time to the final triumphal entrance into Atlanta, was a constant series of skirmishes, battles and active military operations. For nearly one hundred days and nights our men were constantly under fire, passing through the thrilling experiences of the battles of Villanow Mill Church, Nickajack Creek, Burnt Hickory, Calhoun, Dallas, Cassville, Kingston, Pumpkin Vine Creek, Paices' Ferry, Chattahoochee River, Ackworth, Marietta, Big Shanty and Kene- saw Mountain.
The most severe and disastrous battle of the campaign in which the 149th were engaged was at Peach Tree Creek on the 20th of July, 1864, where a partial surprise was effected, and almost in an instant of time the regiment lost 19 brave and
124

generous soldiers, among whom were Col. C. B. Kendall and Capt. D. J. Lindsay, both as gallant officers as ever drew a sword in defence of their country.
During this campaign Gen. Hooker resigned his position at the head of the corps, and Gen. Slocum, who had commanded the old 12th corps, was ap- pointed to the command of the 20th ; arriving just in time to accompany the triumphal entry into At- lanta, on the ad of September. The losses of the 149th during the campaign amounted to 34 men killed, 138 wounded and 10 missing. But the ob- jective point was gained and the regiment was one of the first to enter Atlanta and hoist the Stars and Stripes upon the public hall. Col. Ireland, who commanded the 3d brigade, died shortly after entering Atlanta, and the command devolved upon Col. Barnum, promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, leaving the 149th under the command of Major Grumbach, promoted to the colonelcy.
Among the interesting incidents of the camp at Atlanta was the voting of the soldiers at the No- vember election for President. The vote of the 149th, with but few exceptions, was cast for " Honest Old Abe," showing that they had no de- sire to " swap horses while crossing the river," as Mr. Lincoln predicted would be the verdict of the American people.
After the refitting of the troops and sending the sick and lame to the rear, the commissary wagons were loaded with hard-tack, coffee and sugar, and trusting to their own energy and perseverance to subsist upon the country, on the 16th of November the army left Atlanta, to plunge out of sight and hearing into the heart of the Rebel Confederacy. The famous " march to the sea" had been deter- mined upon. Experience proved that Sherman had not overestimated the abundance of supplies in the country through which the army was to pass, nor miscalculated the capacity of his men to obtain their full share of the necessaries of life. The marching of an army composed of 60,000 infantry and 5,500 cavalry through an interior country of such extent was a scene probably never witnessed before, and must have been an astonishing spectacle to the people of the country through which they passed. Thousands of negroes, sometimes in torch- light processions, followed the army "on the road to freedom." The army was formed into two grand divisions or wings : The right led by Gen. O. O. Howard, comprising the 15th corps, Gen. P. J. Osterhaus, and the 17th, Gen. Frank P. Blair ; the left, led by Gen. H. W. Slocum, comprisingthe 14th corps, Gen. Jeff. C. Davis, and the 20th, Gen. A.
S. Williams. Gen. Judson Kilpatrick led the cavalry, which careered in front and on either flank of the infantry.
The 149th, with Slocum's wing, advanced by Covington, Madison and Eatonton, concentrating on Milledgeville, which was entered without opposi- tion. Sherman thus far accompanied the 14th corps. Slocumn moved out of Milledgeville simul- taneously with Howard's advance from Gordon, and concentrated at Sandersville, driving out a small party of Wheeler's cavalry : thence he followed the Central Railroad, breaking it up to the Ogeechee, which he crossed at Louisville, and thence kept north, striking out towards the Savannah.
At Millen, on the Central Railroad, half way from Sandersville to Savannah, was a great prison camp where some thousands of our captured sol- diers had long endured unspeakable privations. Sherman was intent on reaching and liberating them, and for this purpose sent forward Kilpatrick with his cavalry ; but the enemy took the alarm and removed the prisoners. Kilpatrick being harrassed and kept back by skirmishes with Wheeler's cav- alry. Our army visited this prison on their march after the prisoners had been removed. The 20th army corps, (Gen. Slocum's,, including the 149th, was the first to reach Savannah. It passed Mor- gan's and Carlin's divisions encamped about ten miles out, and hastened on to the city. On the 10th of December, 1864, Savannah was completely be- leaguered, and Fort McAllister was that day carried by storm. Hardee, with 15,000 men, evacuated the city on the night of the 20th, escaping across the Savannah River on a pontoon bridge. He was un- observed by our pickets, as the night was dark and windy. Under cover of fire which he had kept up the day previous. he had destroyed the Navy Yard and two iron clads. Our troops now took posses- sion, the 149th being in advance and raising the flag on the dome of the City Hall.
The taking of Fort McAllister by Hazen's divi- sion was a brilliant achievement. While the steamer sent by Gen. Foster and Admiral Dahlgren, to communicate with our army, was hesitating whether or not to approach the fort, at that moment Hazen's bugles sounded the charge ; when his divi- sion rushed over torpedoes and abatis, through a shower of grape, up to and over the parapet, and after a brief but desperate struggle, McAllister was ours. Iler garrison of 200 surrendered, having 40 or 50 killed and wounded to our 90. Among the spoils were 22 guns and much ammunition. Fort McAllister fell on the 13th of December ; on the 17th, Hardee was formally summoned to surrender
125

the city ; on the 20th, the bombardment of the city commenced, and on that night Hardee evacuated, moving his force towards Charleston.
The 149th was stationed as Provost Guard of a portion of the conquered city, and in this capacity had a season of relaxation and rest from the fatigues of the campaign, mingling in the social life of the city and enjoying balls and other pastimes. A loyal newspaper was printed and edited by a member of the 149th during their stay in Savannah. After being supplied with provisions and clothing, and leaving the city in charge of another corps, they were again on the march, and reached Sisters' Ferry with great difficulty on account of the floods and next to impassable condition of the roads. After some detention they crossed the Savannah River on pontoons and entered the State of South Carolina. Along their route the rebels had buried torpedoes, which exploded and severely injured several of the regiment. The march through South Carolina involved unusual hardships; the weather having become exceedingly wet, the swamps flooded and the river high and swift.
Fayetteville, North Carolina, was reached on the 12th of March, 1865. Here the enemy halted three days, completely destroying the United States Arsenal and the costly machinery which had been brought here from Harper's Ferry at the time of its capture by the rebels in 1861.
Sherman's movements from this point were very cautiously made. An immense army was concen- trating in his front ; Hardee from Savannah and Charleston, Beauregard from Columbia, Cheatham from the Tennessee, with considerable force drawn from North Carolina and her seaward defences un- der Bragg and Hoke, with Wheeler's and Hamp- ton's cavalry, making up a force of not less than 40,000 men, mostly veterans, under the command of the able and wary Joe Johnston. It would no longer answer to move as hitherto; our columns must be kept well closed up, the corps within easy supporting distance, on peril of surprise and disas- ter. True to his favorite policy, Sherman, on the 15th of March, pushed four divisions of his left wing, covered by Kilpatrick's cavalry, directly north- ward to Averysboro, as a feint on Raleigh ; while Slocum's train, his two remaining divisions, and the right wing, moved by various roads nearly east, towards Goldsboro, his true destination. Sherman was on the left with Slocum, including the 149th, but had ridden across to the right wing, intent on reaching Goldsboro and meeting Gen. Schofield, when the sound of guns on the left again challenged his attention. Slocum, approaching Bentonville, had
been assailed by Johnston with the entire rebel army. The divisions of the right wing were ordered at once to move on rapidly to the assistance of the outnumbered left. Slocum had encountered Dib- brell's cavalry, which he was driving, when he ran headlong upon the whole Confederate force, the two leading brigades of Carlin's division being hurled back upon the main body, with a loss of three guns and their caissons. Slocum thereupon very prop- erly stood on the defensive, showing a front of four divisions, and throwing up slight barricades, while Kilpatrick came into action on the left. Here our left withstood six assaults from Johnston's army inflicting heavy loss with our artillery, the enemy having brought up little or none. Johnston had hurried to this point by night from Smithfield, ex- pecting to crush Slocum before he could be sup- ported, but he was mistaken. Night fell without giving him any ground, and before morning Slocum got up his wagon train, with its guard of two divi- sions, while Hazen's division of the 15th (Logan's) corps, came up on the right, rendering his position secure. The enemy not risking further attacks, Slocum awaited the arrival of Howard with the entire right wing. In the night Johnston retreated on Smithfield and Raleigh, so precipitately as to leave his pickets and his severely wounded behind.
Our total loss here was 191 killed, 1, 108 wounded, and 344 missing, in all 1,643. We buried here 267 rebel dead, and took 1,625 prisoners, many of them wounded.
No further resistance being made, our army moved on to Goldsboro, where it rested and was reclothed, much to the satisfaction of our 149th, for having passed through the tar regions of North Carolina and burned a number of rosin manufactories, they were so blackened and begrimmed with the smoke and cinders as to resemble more a regiment of col- ored troops than white soldiers. Their clothes were also worn and tattered, so that, as remarked by their Quartermaster, "fat, ragged and saucy," was a more apt description of them than any other combination of words in the English language.
From Goldsboro the troops containing our regi- ment were marched to Raleigh, where they arrived on the 14th of April. While here news of the sur- render of Lee and his forces to Gen. Grant at Appomattox reached our headquarters and was hailed with tumultuous rejoicing by the whole army. A demonstration was made towards John- ston, but like a prudent commander, he also, after some formal negotiations, surrendered, and the great civil war was at an end.
The order, " On to Richmond "-now much more

easily executed than at the beginning of the war- was heard through the ranks, and our army moved forward, reaching the " Rebel Capital " on the 10th of May, passing in review through its principal streets. From Richmond to Washington, they passed through Chickahominy swamp and over their old stamping grounds, crossing the Rappahannock at United States Ford, and pausing a few moments on the field of their first battle at Chancellorsville. A rapid march brought them to Alexandria, whence they were moved across the Potomac to Washing- ton and soon after mustered out of the service.
The remnant of the 149th soon returned home to receive the warm welcome of a grateful and generous people, who had watched their career in the army with pride and satisfaction. It is not too much to say that the 149th had as varied an experi- ence and made for themselves as honorable a record during the war of the rebellion, as any volun- teer regiment in the Union service. Their dead sleep in honored graves, and their living, many of them, have won that respect, both in military and civil affairs, to which their merits and sacrifices justly entitle them.
