Lient. Col. Frank White, Seventeenth Indiana Vol- unteers, distinguished himself greatly by his gallan- try in this action. No further opposition was met that evening, and I went into camp at Plantersville. On the morning of the 2d of April I moved at 6 a. m. on the main Selma road, meeting with but lit- tle resistance. When within six miles of the city, I moved to the right, taking the Summerfield and Sel- ma road, and at 3 p. m. the head of the column arriv- ed in front of the works on the southwest side of the city. My command was at once dismounted, taking position on the right and left of the road. During this time I was engaged in a personal inspection of the enemy's works with a view of learning, if possi- ble, their relative strength and position. While my lines were forming the enemy kept up a rapid firing with his artillery, which, although well directed, did but little damage. A short time before the formation was completed, I addressed a note to Maj. E. B. Beaumont, assistant adjutant - general, Cavalry Corps, Military Division of the Mississippi, stating that I thought that it was most too large an under- taking for one division alone to assault the works in my front, but that if General Upton, who was just coming with his division into position on my left on the main Selma road, would leave a thin line of skir- mishers in his front and place his division in rear of mine that I would lead with my division in the as. sault. At this time the brevet major-general com- manding Cavalry Corps, Military Division of the Mississippi, rode up, who first agreed to this propo; sition, as I understood, but afterward changed his mind, and stated that he would have General Upton; as soon as he got into position, push forward on the left at a signal gun from his battery, at which time I must also advance with my division. About this time frequent reports were brought to me that there was a force of rebel cavalry, estimated from 500 to 1,000 men, skirmishing with my rear and firing into the pack, stock, and led animals, and threatening to
55
APPENDIX
make an attack in force. Fearing that some confus- ion would result among the led animals by this at- tack in my rear, and the enemy gaining strength in my front every moment 1 determined to make the as- sault at once without any further delay or waiting for the signal gun on the left. I moved forward at 5 p. m., my entire line advancing promptly, and in less than twenty-five minutes after the command to ad- vance had been given the works were ours. The works consisted of a heavy line of earth-works eight or twelve feet in height and fifteen feet in thickness at the base with a ditch in front partly filled by wa- ter four feet in width and five feet deep, and in front of this a stockade or picket of heavy posts planted firmly in the ground, five feet high, and sharpened at the top. Four heavy forts with artillery in position also covered the ground over which the men advance- ed The ground was rough, and a deep ravine had to be passed before the works could be reached. The men fully understood the difficulties before them. There was no flinching; all seemed confident of their ability to overcome them.
As soon as we uncovered the hill about 600 yards from the earth-works the enemy opened a rapid and destructive fire of musketry and artillery on the line, but we moved forward steadily until within short range, when a rapid fire was opened by our Spencers, and with a cheer the men started for the works on a run, sweeping forward in a solid line over fences and ravine, scaling the stockade and on the works with resistless force, the enemy fighting stubbornly, many of them clubbing their guns, but forced to retreat in the greatest disorder, our men continuing in pursuit through the city, and taking many prisoners. The troops confronting me behind the breast-works were composed of , a portion of General Forrest's com- mand, which are regarded as their best troops in the West. According to General Forrest's own state- ment, under a flag of truce, to the brevet major-gen- eral commanding Cavalry Corps, Military Division
56
APPENDIX
of the Mississippi, his force exceeded the assaulting force in numbers. My entire force in the charge was 1,550 officers and men. The carrying of these works and the town by my division resulted in the capture of over 2,000 prisoners, although this division did not stop or take time to pick them up or gather them together, and only between 600 and 1,000 were col- lected by the provost-marshals, their guards, and other officers and men not otherwise occupied. We captured no less than twenty pieces of artillery in position, including one 30-pounder Parrott, and a large number of small arms were taken and destroy- ed. When within 150 yards of the works on the Summerfield and Selma road I was wounded and carried off the field, a short time after which Gener- al Wilson was riding by, and inquired of my aide-de- camp, Lieutenant Deering, if we had carried the works. I had the satisfaction of hearing the answer in the affirmative.
The Chicago Board of Trade Battery, command- ed by Capt. George I. Robinson, occupied a position on the hill in the rear of my line. Their rapid and effective firing contributed greatly to the demorali- zation of the enemy. It was afterward reported to me that this battery did good and efficient service in assisting the driving of the enemy through and be- yond the town. Although not personally cognizant of the part it took throughout the entire action, I have no doubt from the manner in which it had al- ways executed its work hitherto that it did every- thing possible to be done. Our loss, although slight compared with the work accomplished, would have been much less had the Fourth Michigan Cavalry charged, as I ordered, on the left of the line in front of the battery, and thus covered a work which enfi- laded our whole line instead of remaining, as it did. through some mistake of the regimental or brigade commander, with and in support of the battery. I cannot in justice to the division refrain from stating, what the brevet major-general commanding the Cav-
57
APPENDIX
alry Corps must know to be a fact, that this was the decisive fight of the campaign; that the crushing and demoralizing defeat here given to the Confederate forces opposing us contributed in no small degree to the success of our expedition, and, in fact, by defeat- ing them so badly as to render any further resistance on their part out of the question, made the latter por- tion of the campaign comparatively a work of ease. In this affair the entire division did their whole duty than which no greater praise can be given to a sol- dier. The First Brigade, commanded by Col. A. O. Miller, Seventy-second Indiana Volunteers, owing to longer practice and being more accustomed to fight- ing on foot probably kept a better line than the Sec. ond Brigade, but so far as courage is concerned and the time that different regiments and portions of the division approached the works, no appreciable dif. ference could be seen or was reported to me. When it is remembered that it was a depot of ammunition which supplied a large portion of the so-called South- ern Confederacy, the importance of its capture can- not well be magnified. Where all portions of the command have done their duty so faithfully and well during the entire march it would seem unjust to make special mention of individuals, but I feel com- pelled to mention a few instances of gallantry in ac- tion where the persons mentioned here had a favor- able opportunity to distinguish themselves, and whose conduct in action came under my own person- al observation. Of this class I must mention Capt. T. W. Scott, Ninety-eighth Illinois Volunteers, my acting assistant adjutant-general; Capt. W. W. Shoe- maker, Fourth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, aide-de- camp; Lieut Henry Deering, Fourth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, aide-de-camp, and Lieut. S. S. Culbertson, Nineteenth U. S. Infantry, assistant commissary of musters, who were by my side and deported them- selves during the whole fight with all the courage of true and gallant soldiers.

alry, provost-marshal; Capt. J. N. Squire, Third Oho Volunteer Cavalry, acting assistant inspector- general; Capt. P. B. Lewis, Third Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, topographical engineer; Lieut. J. B. Hay- den, Fourth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, acting commis- sary of subsistence; Lieut. W. N. MeDonald, One hun- dred and twenty-third Illinois Volunteers, ordnance officer, and Captain Hartranft, Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry, commanding escort, were on duty in other portions of the field under the enemy's fire, and dis- tinguished themselves for the faithful execution of their orders. For gallant services, Col. A. O. Miller, Seventy-second Indiana Volunteers, commanding First Brigade (severely wounded) ; Col. R. H. G. Minty, Fourth Michigan Cavalry, commanding Sec- ond Brigade; Col. C. C. MeCormick, commanding Seventh Pennslvania Cavalry (severely wounded) ; Col. J. G. Vail, commanding Seventeenth Indiana Volunteers; Lieut. Col. Jonathan Biggs, commanding One hundred and twenty-third Illinois Volunteers (severely wounded ) ; Lieut. Col. E. Kitehell, com- manding Ninety-eighth Illinois Volunteers; Lieut. Col. Frank White, Seventeenth Indiana Volunteers, and Lieut. Col. G. W. Dobb, Fourth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry ( killed in action). I would respectfully but most earnestly recommend Cols. A. O. Miller and R. H. G. Minty to the rank of brigadier-generals, the others to brevet brigadier-generals. To the surgeon- in-chief of the division, Frederick Corfe, much praise is due for his prompt attention to the wounded and his able administration of the medical department of the division. Major Archer, Third Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, commanding train guard; Capt. S. B. Coe, Third Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, acting assistant quar- termaster; Lieut. J. B. Patten, Seventeenth Indiana Volunteers; Lieut. John Bennett, Fourth Michigan Cavalry, and the pioneers under their charge, are en- titled to great credit for the successful manner in which the division and pontoon train were brought through, and for their untiring industry on all ocea.

sions; and the division is, in fact, mainly indebted to their individual exertions for the presence of the train with them at this time. To Capt. T. W. Scott, Ninety-eighth Illinois Volunteers, acting assistant adjutant-general of the division, for his industry, en- ergy, and sound judgment, and faithful performance of his manifold duties under all circumstances, I am greatly indebted, and would respectfully and most urgently recommend, as only a just recompense for his gallant service, that he receive the appointment of captain and assistant adjutant-general, U. S. Vol. unteers, or that his services in some other manner be fittingly acknowledged by such promotion as can be granted him consistent with the interests of the ser- vice. Private Henry Prince, orderly, and Bugler Henry Gieble, Fourth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, were with me during the entire action, and distinguished themselves by their coolness and bravery while in discharge of their duties. I regret to report the death of Lieut. Col. George W. Dobb, Fourth Ohio Volun- teer Cavalry, and the other brave officers and men who fell upon the field of battle whose names will be found in the list of casualties here appended, but it is a proud and consoling thought, in the remembrance held of them by their friends, to know that they died a noble death, their faces to the enemy and battling for their country's cause. For individual acts of gal- lantry which did not come under my personal obser- vation I would respectfully refer you to the accom- panving reports of brigade and regimental command. ers.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
