HISTORY OF THE OHIO FALLS COUNTIES.
or Floyd county officer or man does not find his name in the following lists, when he should be there, his censure must light upon those who long ago should have recorded his residence upon the roster of his command. Every line of every one of the eight thick volumes of the re- port has been carefully scanned in the effort to miss no name which should be embraced in this roll of honor; and in some cases, when the residence of officers has been ascertained to be in these counties, the presumption has pre- vailed that their commands were also bodily from the same region, and their rolls have been cop- ied accordingly. If any one finds that he in this great catalogue experiences the peculiar sort of fame of which Byron spoke, "to have your name spelt wrong in print," he must also refer the fault to some one back of the compiler and publishers of this book. Every name has been copied with care, and it is believed, exactly; and the proofs of this chapter have been laboriously compared with the original copy. It is hoped in this way approximate exactness has been attained in nearly all cases.
For the substance of the regimental and other brief histories, and in a few cases for the text itself, we are also indebted to the admirable report of General Terrell :
FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS.

Company K-Columbus Blinkenbaker, Georgetown, drafted.
ELEVENTH REGIMENT (INFANTRY). (Three years' service.)
Unassigned recruits -- Charles Benson, John Smith, Clarke county.
TWELFTH REGIMENT (INFANTRY). (One year service.)
This regiment was organized from the surplus companies that reached Indianapolis in answer to the call for six regiments of three months' troops, and was accepted for State service for one year, on the 11th of May, 1861, with John M. Wallace as colonel. On the 11th of June it left Indianapolis for Evansville, where it occupied the camp lately vacated by the Eleventh regi- ment. July 18th orders were received from the War department for its transfer to the United States service for the rest of its term of service, and on the 23d it left Evansville for Baltimore. Reaching that place on the 27th the Twelfth went next day to Sandy Hook, Maryland, near Harper's Ferry, where it was assigned to Aber- crombie's brigade of General Banks' army of the Shenadoah. While here Colonel Wallace re- signed, and Lieutenant-colonel Link was pro- moted to his place. The regiment remained in camp in Pleasant Valley, near Maryland Heights, until the 6th of August, when it moved with the army to Hyattstown, and encamped there for a time. General Joe Johnston was re- ported near Leesburgh, on the opposite side of the Potomac, with a large force, and this march was made with a view to prevent his crossing. The following month marches were made to Darnestown, Nolan's Ferry, Seneca Creek, and Tuscarora Creek, and in October to Point of Rocks, Hyattstown, Urbana, and Frederick. On the 11th the regiment left the last named place, and advanced through Boonsboro and Middletown to Williamsport, Maryland. On the 13th the several companies were stationed at

Williamsport, Dams No. 4 and 5, Sharpsburg, and other points on the Maryland side of the Pctomac, where they engaged in picket and out- post duty until March, 1862, during which time skirmishes and picket firing across the river were frequent. On the 11th of December the enemy captured a captain and seven men who had crossed to the Virginia shore at Dam No. 4, to see if they were really there. They found out. March 1, 1862, the Twelfth itself crossed the Potomac and marched to Winchester; on the 11th had a skirmish near that place, and the next morning was the first regiment to enter the town, which had been evacuated the night before. On the 21st it marched to Berryville and thence across the Shenandoah and over the Blue Ridge, through Snicker's Gap to Aldie. After the vic- tory at Winchester Heights on the 23d it moved back to the Shenandoah, where it was met with orders to retrace its steps southward toward Warr- enton Junction, which it reached on the 3d of April, crossing the first battlefield of Bull Run en route. Here it remained until May 5th, when it moved to Washington and was there mustered out of service on the 14th of the same month.
The regiment was reorganized for the three years' service in the following August, under Colonel Link, and early took the field again. As but few Floyd or Clarke county men were in its ranks, we will not further follow its fortunes.

SIXTEENTH REGIMENT (INFANTRY). [One-years' Service. ]
This regiment was organized at Richmond, Indiana, under Colonel Pleasant A. Hackleman, in May, 1861, for one years' service within the State. When, however, the news of the Bull Run disaster fell upon the country, its services, without limitation as to place, were offered to the General Government. On the 23d of July it broke camp, and was the first to march through Baltimore after the attack made there upon the Massachusetts and Pennsylvania troops. At Harper's Ferry it was assigned to Banks' army. About the middle of August it moved with that force through the valley of the Monocacy to Hyattstown, and in the latter part of the month marched thence to Darnestown. It remained there until the battle of Ball's Bluff, October 21, to the sound of whose cannon it moved to Ed- ward's Ferry, crossed the Potomac in canal- boats, and joined a force there fronting the enemy. The pickets were attacked the next af- ternoon, and two of the regiment killed. It was soon after placed in line of battle on the bluff, and took part in a brisk engagement, from which the enemy retired during the night. On the 23d the Sixteenth covered the retreat of the Union forces, and was the last to recross the Potomac, two men being drowned during the movement. It encamped on Seneca creek until December 2d, and then took up winter quarters at Frederick City. In the spring of 1862 it partici- pated in the forward movement of the army, and about the middle of March built a bridge across the Shenandoah at Snicker's Ferry, in the short space of four hours. March 22d the Blue Ridge was crossed, but recrossed at once after hearing of the battle of Winchester, and then crossed again, marching successively to Aldie, Warrenton, and finally to Washington, where. it was mustered out May 14th. Its reorganization for three years was promptly undertaken, and completed August 19th, at Indianapolis; but, as
the Clarke county company does not reappear in it, we do not continue this sketch.

SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT (INFANTRY).
The Seventeenth was organized at Indianapo- lis in May, 186r; mustered into service June 12th, and started for Western Virginia July Ist. Most of its service, however, was with the Army of the Cumberland. It was at Shiloh and Corinth; engaged Forrest sharply and routed him at Mc- Minnville, Tennessee; was in the march to the Ohio with Buell's army and fought the enemy's rear guard at Mumfordsville; returned to Nash- ville in November, 1862; was in the actions at Hoover's Gap and Ringgold, the desperate fight at Chickamauga, and the battles of the Atlanta campaign; captured Macon, Georgia, with three thousand prisoners, sixty pieces of artillery, etc., and did post duty there until mustered out of service, August 8, 1865. It had a public recep-

This command rendezvoused t Madison, under Colonel Jefferson C. Davis, of George- town, then a captain in the regular army, but subsequently a distinguished division and corps commander. August 17th it was transported
to St. Louis, where it joined Fremont's army, and was sent up the Missouri to the relief of Colonel Mulligan, who was beleaguered at Lex- ington. It moved with Fremont to Springfield and Otterville; was in the affair at Blackwater, and marched in January with Curtis' expedition against Sterling Price, participating in the battle of Pea Ridge, in which it bore a prominent part, losing nine killed and thirty-two wounded, in- cluding Lieutenant Colonel Hendricks. Its most famous engagements thereafter were at Per- ryville, Stone River, and Mission Ridge, and it was in a number of minor engagements. After the reorganization as a veteran regiment, it took part in the Atlanta campaign, the march to the sea, and the final marches and battles northward. It was mustered out at Washington early in June, and publicly welcomed at Indianapolis on the 16th of that month.

TWENTY-THIRD REGIMENT (INFANTRY).
(Three years' service.)
The Twenty-third was almost wholly a Floyd and Clarke county regiment. It was organized and mustered into service at New Albany July 29, 1861, under Colonel William L. Sanderson. Early in August it moved to St. Louis, and thence to Paducah. In the attack upon Fort Henry it was placed upon gunboats, one of which, the Essex, exploded its boilers during the action, by which several members of Company B lost their lives. On the second day of the battle of Shiloh the Twenty-third was engaged as part of General Lew Wallace's division, losing one officer and fifty men killed, wounded, or missing. During the siege of Corinth it formed part of the reserve stationed at Bolivar, and remained at that point through the summer of 1862. In September it went to Iuka, and took part in the re-capture of that place, when it was ordered to proceed to Hatchie Bridge, but arrived too late to take part in the engagement there. In November it marched down the Mississippi Central railroad, and after the capture of Holly Springs by Van
Dorn moved to Memphis. February 21, 1863, it proceeded down the river to take part in the movement on Vicksburg, and was engaged with Grant's army prior to the march to the rear of the doomed city. April 2d, volunteers were called for from the several companies, and placed on board the transport J. W. Chceseman to run the Confederate batteries at Vicksburg, which was accomplished without loss of life, though with considerable harm to the vessel. While moving to the rear of the place, the regiment was en- gaged at Thompson's Hill, and again a few days after, with some loss in both cases. May 12th it was in the battle. of Raymond, and charged the enemy, taking many prisoners, but losing one-third of the number engaged. At Champion Hills it was the first to arrive in aid of Hovey's division, soon after the battle opened, and took active part in the battle. May 24th it partici- pated in the attack and capture of Jackson, Mississippi. During the siege of Vicksburg it was upon the front line, and lost in all five officers and fifty men killed and wounded. It had then a comparatively quiet fall and winter until February 3, 1864, when it moved with Sherman's great raid into Mississippi, and assisted in destroying the railways on the line of march. At Hebron, Mississippi, the regiment re-enlisted, and soon after the raid took its veteran furlough home. At the expiration of this it was ordered to Bird's Point, Missouri, and thence to Clifton, Tennessee. During the Atlanta campaign it was united with the Seventeenth corps at Ackworth, Georgia. From this time it was engaged nearly every day in skirmish or battle until Atlanta was taken. October 3d it started with the force in pursuit of Hood, who was marching to the rear of Sherman, but returned to Atlanta, and took part in the march to the sea, during which it was several times engaged in brisk skirmishes. It accompanied the corps from Savannah to Beaufort, and thence, in January, 1865, on the march through the Carolinas. It lost four men wounded in the battle of Bentonville, the last fought by Sherman's grand army. On the 4th of March it reached Goldsborough, North Carolina, and after the surrender of Johnston's army took up its line of march for Washington. It was transported thence to Louisville, and remained on duty until July 23d, when it was mustered out of service. On the 25th the regiment ar-

rived at Indianapolis, and was prominent in the reception given that day to the Twenty-third, Thirty-third, Forty-second, and Fifty-third Indi- ana regiments in the Capitol grounds. Ad- dresses were made upon this occasion by their late commander, General Sherman, by Gov- ernor Morton, and other eloquent speakers. A few days thereafter the command received its final discharge, and the men dispersed rejoicing to their homes. It had suffered mortal loss, during its entire term, to the number of three hundred and forty-five killed in battle and died of wounds, and one hundred and seventy-nine died of dis- ease-a total loss, by death, of five hundred and twenty-four officers and men.
