HISTORY OF ROCK COUNTY.

The Thirteenth Regiment was proposed at the close of the five days' fight around Rich- mond, at a meeting held in Janesville to devise means for strengthening the Union cause. Before the assemblage dispersed, a resolution, providing for the enlistment of a regiment of infantry from Rock County, was introduced and met with immediate adoption. The prelimina- ries incident to the business in hand were promptly disposed of, and a committee appointed, con- sisting of Senator H. Richardson and the Rev. H. C. Tilton, authorized to confer with the Governor and conclude arrangements for enlisting the soldiers and providing them with officers. The Hon. J. J. R. Pease, Senator Richardson and H. G. Collins were appointed to take charge of the camp, and see that the "boys" were comfortably provided for. All things being intrusted to proper authorities, recruiting began, and before many weeks the regimental roster was com- pleted, and consisted of six companies from Rock County exclusively, the balance from Green and Walworth Counties. The regiment, rank and file, as also the officers, was made up from the farm houses and workshops, with a goodly number from Milton College and the High School at Janesville, and went into camp northeast of the latter city, on what is now the County Fair Grounds, but at that date called "Camp Treadway." It was mustered into service October 17, 1861, and left the State for Fort Leavenworth, Kan. From thence it marched to Fort Scott, where it remained until March 22, and was transferred to Lawrence, arriving there March 31, 1861. After a month's sojourn, the regiment went to Fort Riley, where it was fitted out for an expedition into Mexico. On the eve of departure to the land of cocoa and palm, the orders were countermanded, and the "Mexican expedition" retraced its steps to Fort Leavenworth, going thence to Columbus, Ky., Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, remaining at the two forts named for upward of a year, the regimental time being devoted to skirmishes, engagements, harassing Forrest and guarding supply steamers between Fort Henry and Hamburg Landing. On the 27th of August, 1863, the regiment marched to Stevenson, Ala. After remaining at this port short time, it went into camp at Edgefield, near Nashville, where it remained until the expira- tion of its term of service, and, having re-enlisted, was given a furlough of thirty days, the same being passed in Janesville. Upon entering active service once more, the regiment was assigned to the First Brigade of the Fourth Division of the Twentieth Army Corps, and served in the Southwest, remaining at Stevenson, Ala., until after the defeat of Ilood at Nashville, when it was assigned to the Third Brigade, Third Division, Fourth Corps; embarked for New Orleans, going thence to Indianola, and serving in Texas until November, 1865, when it returned to Madison via New Orleans, and was mustered out of service. The following is the roster of Rock County recruits :

Company E, Twenty-second Infantry, was raised in Rock County, the members being principally enlisted in Janesville, Spring Valley, Fulton, Edgerton, Harmony, Magnolia. Plymouth, La Prairie, Rock, Johnstown and Milton, under Capt. Isaac Miles. The regiment rendezvoused at Camp Utley, Racine, where it was mustered into service September 2, 18 €2. and, in two weeks after, proceeded to aid in defending Cincinnati against the threatened advent of Kirby Smith. At the conclusion of that campaign, Company E, with the regiment, was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Army of Kentucky, and performed provost dun t.y in that State until January 23, 1863, when the regiment was transferred to Nashville, and par ticipated in all the important battles in that section of the country, constituting a portion of Hooker's command. After the capture of Atlanta, the regiment, with the balance of the Twentieth Army Corps, was stationed at that city, engaged in strengthening the fortification s. In November, 1864, the regiment proceeded to Savannah, thence to Perrysville, Robertsvil Le and through the Carolinas, Richmond and Alexandria to Washington, taking part in the grand review of Sherman's army, and remaining at Alexandria until June 12, 1865, when it was mustered out and returned to Madison.
