Company I, Sixteenth Regiment, was organized principally in Darlington, although a score of the recruits hailed from Grant County. The officers were Capt. S. W. Osborne ; First Lieutenant, Charles H. Vail ; Second Lieutenant, D. J. Purman. Rendezvoused at Camp Randall, where the regiment was organized under Col. Benjamin Allen, of Pepin. Mustered into the service Janu- ary 31, 1862, and moved on to Pittsburg Landing in time to appear in the battle of Shiloh, with Prentiss' Division, under command of Gen. Grant. April 5, were stationed on outpost, doing picket duty about half a mile from main body of regiment. At daybreak, received first fire of the " rebs," which opened the bloody battle of Shiloh. Being outflanked by superior forces in heavy numbers, and exposed to a concentric fire, fell back, and re-formed line of battle. During the remainder of that day, they were constantly open to the enemy's fire, which deci- mated their numbers. Were relieved on second day by Gen. Buell's command, and sent to the rear as a reserve force. The brunt of the engagement had been borne, as testified by the list of killed, which aggregated 245 men killed and wounded. Lieut. Vail was numbered with the slain -he having fallen at the first fire. The company assisted at the siege of Corinth, and entered the city on May 29, the enemy having evacuated the position during the night. On June 6, they entered the camp, whence they marched to Iuka, and returned to Corinth on the 21st. Follow- ing the second battle of Corinth, they encamped three miles from Grand Junction, on the Missis- sippi Central Railroad, where, greatly reduced in numerical strength, the regiment was consolidated into five companies. February 5, 1864, they joined the garrison at Vicksburg, and were re-en- forced by five full companies, three of which, F. H and K, which had been recruited in Wis- consin for the regiment. On the 6th, Company I, with four others, re-enlisted, and departed on veteran furlough, returning home via Cairo. On their arrival at Madison, they were accorded a public reception by the State officers and members of the Legislature, prior to temporary dis- bandment. They re-united at Madison on April 18, and rejoined the regiment, which, by accessions. had been augmented to nine companies. They were then assigned to the First Bri- gade, Third Division, Seventeenth Corps, with which they proceeded across the country, under command of Gen. Leggatt. At Ackworth, thirty-five miles from Atlanta, the regiment united with Gen. Sherman, and moved forward to the front, taking position on the extreme left of the army. Under Gen. McPherson, they left Brush Mountain, on the evening of the 2d of July, and, by threatening the enemy's communication at Turner's Ferry, induced a retreat. On the 20th, they were posted in line of battle before Atlanta, with the extreme left of the army, and, next day, carried the enemy's works upon Bold Hill by assault, with a loss of seventy-eight men killed and wounded. On the 22d, they were engaged in repelling repeated attacks of the enemy, and to recover the lost works, sustaining a loss of twelve killed, twenty-six wounded and seven missing. In November and December, they were employed in destroying the railroad communication in Central Georgia. Being annexed to Sherman's army in the famous march to the seaboard, they entered Savannah on December 21, and entered camp. The command of the regiment had been vested in Capt. Craig, in place of Maj. Dawes, who had been mustered out on the 11th. After defeating a strong rebel force on the banks of the North Edisto River, the First Brigade arrived at Columbia on the 16th. On the 19th, they were in the battle at Bentonville, and, on the 24th, entered Goldsboro, N. C. Here, Gen. Force returned to the

brigade, and Col. Fairchild took command of the regiment. Crossing the Roanoke River, on the morning of the 5th of May, they entered Virginia, and proceeded by easy marches to Wash- ington, where they encamped within a short distance of the city. On the 2d of June, the mem- bers whose terms had expired, were mustered out. The remainder of the Sixteenth was paid off at Madison on August 1, 1865, the members dispersing to their homes to renew their ordinary peace avocations.

Company B, Twenty-third Regiment, was formed in July, 1862, and was organized at Camp Randall on August 25, 1862, under Col. Joshua J. Guppey, of Portage City. The offi- cers of Company B were : Captain, Charles M. Waring, succeeded at his death, February 16, 1863, by John E. Duncan ; First Lieutenant, John E. Duncan, on promotion, succeeded by John M. Sumner, promoted to Company D, and replaced by Francis G. Marsh ; Second Lieutenant, Warren Gray, who, resigning March 27, 1863, was succeeded by Charles E. Brunner.

The Twenty-third Regiment left Camp Randall on September 15, 1863, for Cincinnati, then menaced by the rebel forces under Kirby Smith. Were assigned to Gen. Green Clay Smith's division, on the Alexandria turnpike road. Marched subsequently to Louisville and Memphis, Tenn., where the regiment was appointed to the First Brigade, Tenth Division, and at once took position in the army destined to reduce Vicksburg. December 28, 1862, the reg- iment occupied a precarious position within a mile of the enemy's works, at Vicksburg, and, although exposed for three days to the rebel's shot and shell, they were fortunate in not los- ing a man. When moving forward to invest Fort Hindman, the regiment was exposed to the enemy's artillery fire, without suffering great loss. While advancing to an indicated point, they were greeted with an unexpected enfilading fire from the enemy's rifle-pits, which necessi- tated a change of front. The evolution was effected, and Companies B, G and K were thrown out as skirmishers, capturing several block-houses occupied by the rebels, driving them into their works, while the remaining companies attacked the rifle-pits, drove the enemy to the fort, and silenced a quantity of artillery. The conflict raged furiously for three hours, at the con- clusion of that time the enemy hoisting the white flag as a token of submission. The loss entailed was four killed and thirty-four wounded.

The Yazoo swamps tested the mens' strength sorely with malarial complaints. At one time, three-fourths of the men were down with fever, and several companies were destitute of officers.

Companies B and E did effectual service as skirmishers in the battle of Champion Hills, where they drove the rebels from a fortified post. That night they lay on their arms in the field, and, on the morning of the 17th of May, pushed forward to the Black River Bridge, capturing the Sixteenth Tennessee en route. At the siege of Vicksburg, the entire regiment was employed

515

as skirmishers, engaging the enemy from early morning until late at night. On the 22d, they engaged in the disastrous attempts to storm the Confederate defenses, and, failing, retreated to their trenches. At the close of the siege, the regiment was reduced, by disease and death, to a mere skeleton of its former stalwart force, hardly numbering one hundred and fifty capa- ble men.

November 3, the brigade was attacked by an overwhelming force of the enemy at Carrion Crow Bayou. The regiment formed line in a belt of timber. Two other regiments in their front were rapidly driven back, but the Twenty-third valiantly withstood the assault, maintain- ing a rapid fire, until, full-flanked on both sides, the order was given to fall back. On arrival of re-enforcements, they regained their lost ground. At the outset, the regiment numbered 220 officers and men, of whom 128 were lost in killed, wounded and prisoners, the latter includ- ing Col. Guppey and Capt. Sorenson, who was severely wounded. The Commander General publicly tendered his thanks to the regiment for their gallantry on this occasion. The regi- ment, hence, was engaged in a variety of occupations, such as fatigue, transport and provost duty, at times visiting sections of the country extending from Matagorda Bay, Texas, through Louisiana and Arkansas. Their last experience was gained in the fortifications at Mobile, where they remained until the 4th of July, when the Twenty-third was mustered out of service, and embarked next day for home, entering Madison on the 16th. They were paid off and formally disbanded on the 24th of July, 1865.

McCagon, board steamer; Franklin Van Hook, Memphis, Tenn .; Nathan Woodbury, St. Louis, Mo.

Company E, Thirty-first Regiment, was constituted in 1862, from equal contingents from Darlington, Fayette, and Argyle and Wiota towns. The officers were, throughout the war, as follows : Captain, James B. Mason, deceased October 17, 1863, succeeded by Daniel B. Dipple; First Lieutenant, Daniel B. Dipple, on promotion, succeeded by Hiram Stevens; Sec- ond Lieutenant, Hiram Stevens, succeeded by Charles R. Bridgman. Rendezvoused at Prairie du Chien on September 23, 1862, where the regiment was organized under command of Col. Isaac E. Messmore, and mustered into the United States service on the 9th of October. Remained there doing guard duty until November 14. Company E was ordered to Camp Utley, where the regiment was mustered up to its full strength of eleven companies. Were first ordered down the Mississippi to Columbus, where they were assigned to the Sixth Division, Sixteenth Army Corps, and ordered into Camp at Fort Halleck. While in camp were engaged on picket duty, guarding transports and in reconnoitering the enemy's territory in different parts of the country. They were employed twenty days from the 5th of October, doing guard duty on the line of the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad, marching thence to Murfreesboro. Shortly afterward, Companies B, G and K, under command of Capt. Stevenson, were stationed at the crossing of Stone River, where they remained building fortifications and guarding the railroad bridge until the 2d of April, 1864, when they rejoined their companions at Murfrees- boro. On July 3, 1864, the Thirty-first was transferred to the Third Brigade, First Division, Twentieth Army Corps, with which they were subsequently identified. Took prominent part in the siege of Atlanta, and, subsequent to the capture of the city, were employed as portion of the garrison. On the march to Savannah, when about nine miles from that city, the head of the column, of which the Thirty-first formed part, was checked by a body of the enemy posted

516

in two small redoubts commanding the Springfield road, upon which the column was advancing. Under orders to move to the left and flank the enemy, the Thirty-first struggled through an almost impenetrable swamp and carried the works in face of a galling fire. The march was pursued through the Carolinas. They were on the front line of battle at Averysboro, on the 16th of March, losing one man killed and twelve wounded. At the battle of Bentonville, N. C., on the 19th, the Thirty-first and two other regiments were thrown forward without sup- port. They were attacked on both flanks, and in front, doubling up the line and forcing them to retreat a quarter of a mile. Having re-formed the line, they repulsed five different charges of the enemy, and held their ground from 2 in the afternoon until dark, when they were relieved. In this engagement, the regiment lost sixty men killed, wounded and missing. Arriving at Goldsboro, N. C., the men were provided with new equipments, and remained in that town until the 10th of April, when they set out for Raleigh. The regiment had passed eighteen miles beyond Raleigh, when appraised of the surrender of Gen. Johnson. Returned homeward on the 30th, entered camp three miles from the capitol, returned to Louisville, and were mustered out on the 20th of June, arriving on the 23d at Madison, Wis. They were paid and dismissed to their homes on July 8, 1865.

Killed in action : Sergt. Charles H. Bailey, Atlanta, Ga .; Samuel L. Barrington, Averys- boro, N. C .; Thomas J. Taylor, Bentonville, N. C.

Black, Gratiot, Wis .; Daniel M. Burrett, Nashville, Tenn .; Atwood L. Davis, Chattanooga, Tenn .; Lewis Hanson, Columbus, Ky .; Horace B. Latin, Columbus, Ky .; Ole C. Rood, Jefferson Barracks, Mo.

Company C, Thirty-third Regiment, was organized September, 1862, in Shullsburg, under the name of the Gaylord Guards. The officers during the campaign were: Captain, John E. Gurley, succeeded by William Weir; First Lieutenants, Adjt. William Warner, succeeded by David H. Budlong, and Harlow S. Pickard; Second Lieutenant, William Weir, on promotion, succeeded by Jeptha Hopkins. Mustered at Camp Utley, where, with contingents from Rock, Grant and Kenosha Counties, the Thirty-third Regiment was organized under the supervision of Col. Jonathan B. Moore. Remained in camp until November 12; received orders for Mem- phis, Tenn., where they were assigned to Gen. Lauman's Division, in the right wing of the army of the Tennessee. While at Hurricane Creek, Gen. Lauman was placed in command of the Fourth Division. In compliance with his special request, the Thirty-third was assigned to the First Brigade of that division. Wintered at Moscow, Tenn., where, on a smaller scale, the sufferings of the French Army at the city of the same name, were repeated. They suffered from measles and other diseases, which, aggravated by exposure and want of tentage, entailed a loss of twenty-eight men. On the Coldwater River, forty miles south of Memphis, encountered the enemy and pursued them, the Thirty-third taking the advance and routing them. The loss

was two killed and two wounded. While descending the Mississippi River to Vicksburg, the steamer was fired upon by a three-gun battery stationed in the woods above Greenville. The Thirty-third landed, and, with the aid of a detachment of troops, chased the enemy five miles, when the pursuit was abandoned The regiment took an active part in the subsequent siege of Vicksburg, their camp being so near the enemy's works that they were at all times exposed to the enemy's fire, one of their number being shot dead while asleep in his tent, by a bullet from a rebel sharpshooter. On the 4th of June, Companies C and K, under command of Capt. Gurley, were ordered to capture a line of rifle-pits on Hall's Ferry road The onslaught was so terrible, that the enemy fled demoralized, leaving several prisoners and drop- ping their arms in the general scramble to escape to the main entrenchments. June 21, the regiment was ordered to advance the line in the center of the brigade front, and establish a rifle-pit within eighty-five yards of a large fort. Company C aided in driving in the enemy's pickets, seizing the position, which they held in defiance of the enemy's utmost efforts to dis- lodge them. The ground captured was in such immediate proximity to the fort that the guns

517

could not be depressed sufficiently to bear upon the gallant invaders, who, under cover, labored all night, digging rifle-pits and thoroughly establishing themselves in position. Through the negligence of another regiment, the enemy regained the ground on the following night, by surprising the garrison. They filled up the Union pits and dug new ones, connected with the fort by a subterranean passage. On the night of June 24, an expedition, led by Company C, was organized to dislodge the foe. The attack was such an overwhelming surprise to the rebels that they fled in consternation to their fort, leaving on the field four killed and seventeen wounded. Wintered at Milldale, ten miles distant from Vicksburg, being employed in the mul- tifarious duties of an active camp-life. Took part in all the principal operations of the Meridan expedition, under Gen. Sherman. For many months the Thirty-third was employed in foraging, guarding supply trains and doing transport duty. Embarked at Benton Bar- racks on the 23d of November, to reinforce Gen. Thomas' command, landing on the 30th at Nashville, Tenn. On December 15, the first day of the battle of Nashville, the Thirty-third charged a body of the enemy posted on a peak between two stone-walls and, encountering but feeble opposition, captured 280 prisoners, many of whom surrendered with loaded arms. They moved to New Orleans, where Gen. Smith's command was re-organized, and designated as the Sixteenth Army Corps. The regiment was at Spanish Fort, La., doing heavy fatigue and picket duty. April 9, saw their last engagement at Blakely, whence they were ordered to Vicksburg, preliminary to receiving their discharge from the service. They arrived at Madison on August 14, 1865, and were disbanded on the 1st of September, 1865.
