Drum Major Second Regiment Wisconsin Volunteers-what there is left of them. ANSON LINSCOTT,

Company D, Fourth Regiment .- This Company was recruited at Kilbourn City, and went into camp at Racine, June 6, 1861, with the following commissioned officers : Joseph Bailey, Captain ; Walter S. Payn, First Lieutenant ; Edwin R. Herren, Second Lieutenant. On the 15th of July they left for Baltimore ; remained in Maryland acquiring discipline and drill until Novem- ber 4, when they embarked on an expedition to the eastern shore of Virginia. The regiment returned to Baltimore and remained until February 19, 1862, when they embarked on transports to join the Army of the Gulf, arriving at Ship Island, Miss., on the 12th of March. The hard- ships of the voyage engendered much disease, and many of the soldiers found a grave in the sandy bosom of this ocean solitude. Were present at the bombardment and capture, by Porter and Farragut, of the forts in the Southwest Pass, and formed a part of the army of occupation. In May, they embarked in captured transports for an expedition which extended to Vicksburg, near which place they engaged some rebel cavalry. Upon the return, they occupied Baton Rouge. and in June again moved upon Vicksburg, taking part in the thirty-day siege which followed. On the 5th of August, they found themselves once more in Baton Rouge, defending the place against an attack by rebels under Breckinridge. The evacuation of Baton Rouge, becoming necessary, the Fourth Regiment reached Carrollton, near New Orleans, the latter part of the same month, remaining there until December, when they moved against Baton Rouge under Gen. Banks, and the New Year found them encamped in the suburbs of that city. Some very successful reconnaissances were made and one battle fought-Bayou Teche-during the succeed- ing four months. On the 22d of April, the Fourth was mounted and sent in pursuit of a battalion of Texas cavalry. May 7, the army occupied Alexandria, the Fourth being con- stantly engaged in expeditions, during one of which they captured " Dick " Taylor's rear guard. On the 26th they reached Port Hudson, where, two days later, they led the advance in driving the enemy within his works, gaining a commanding position within 100 yards of his fortifica- tions, which they held for six days before being relieved. In that fearful carnage the regiment lost 5 officers and 55 men killed and wounded. Returning to the siege, they led a charge against the works on the 14th of June, from which, out of 220 men, but 80 returned, having lost 12 killed, 75 wounded, and 53 missing, the latter having been taken prisoners inside the fort.

On the 25th of July the regiment returned to Baton Rouge, and in September, 1863, were . completely equipped as cavalry. Thus mounted, they continued to do excellent service in repelling guerrilla raids and preventing rebel communication. The details of their daring exploits would make a good-sized volume. On the 2d of August, 1864, they were at San Antonio, Tex., and were the first Union troops to penetrate the territory west of that place, engaging in frequent expeditions against the Indians. In May, 1866, they encountered a party of Mexi- can marauders, near Brownsville, and killed 6 of them. The Fourth Regiment was mustered out of service on the 28th of May, 1866, and reached Madison on the 16th of June.

The following members of Company D were killed in action : Privates Michael Brown, Peter Beaumont, Frank Dawes, Horace Dike, F. C. Ferris, John Kerr, W. P. Stillick and C. W. Shaffer.

Company D, Tenth Regiment .- This company was formed in August, 1861, and was known as the Fremont Rifles. James L. Coffin was the Captain, Thomas L. Kennan, First Lieutenant, and George W. Marsh, Second Lieutenant. Joshua J. Guppey went out as Lieu- tenant Colonel of the Tenth, and was promoted to the colonelcy of the Twenty-third Regiment, . July 25, 1862. The Tenth was mustered into service October 14, 1861, at Camp Hutton, Milwaukee, leaving that place under orders of November 9, for Kentucky, where it took its place in Colonel Sill's brigade, which was assigned to position on the right of the Third Division, under Gen. Mitchell. In February, 1862, they marched toward Bowling Green, which was evacuated by the rebels on their approach. March 19 found the regiment at Murfreesboro, acting as provost guard. The 5th of September brought them to Nashville, Tenn., after having captured Huntsville, Stevenson, Decatur and Tuscumbia. On the 8th of October, they met the enemy under Gen. Bragg, and took part in the battle of Chaplin Hills, where, out of 276 men they lost 36 killed, 110 wounded, and 1 missing. The next important engagement was at Chickamauga, where the Tenth was twice assigned the first line of battle. By an awkward

movement on the second day of the battle, they ran directly into the lines of the enemy, who captured a large number of officers and men. During the two-days conflict the regiment, lost 18 killed, 56 wounded, and 132 prisoners, leaving 3 officers and 26 men. In February, 1864, this small handful of men led the advance against Tunnel Hill and Buzzard Roost, going into camp nine miles from Chattanooga, where they remained until May, about which time they took position in the army, under Gen. Sherman, then advancing toward Atlanta. With the Fourteenth Corps, they participated in the operations at Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, and Peach Tree Creek. The recruits who had joined the regiment since its organization having been transferred to the Twenty-first Wisconsin, the Tenth Regiment, having completed its term of service, left for home, arriving in Milwaukee October 25, 1864.

The fatalities in Company D were: Killed in action-Sergt. C. Forsyth, Corp. James Dixon ; Privates Irwin Clark, M. Conlon, A. Farnham, E. Hunt, H. C. Luther, H. Morey, A. H. Parmenter. J.

Company H, Eleventh Regiment .- Organized in September, 1861, and accepted at Camp Randall, for service, October 18, with Alexander Christie as Captain; Eli H. Mix was First, and Isaac J. Wright was Second, Lieutenant. The Eleventh Regiment was attached to the Sec- ond Brigade, under Col. Hovey, in Gen. Steele's command, and under orders to proceed South, passed through Missouri into Arkansas. The first engagement of any note was at Bayou Cache, on the 7th of July, when Companies D, G. H and I held in check a vastly superior force of rebels until re-enforcements arrived. The Eleventh's losses were four killed and twenty wounded. They arrived at Helena on the 13th. In October, they returned to Pilot Knob, Mo., and remained in that State during the winter. On the 15th of March. 1863, they embarked at St. Genevieve for Memphis. From there they proceeded to Milliken's Bend, La., and took posi- tion in the Second Brigade, Fourteenth Division of the Thirteenth Army Corps. The 1st of April dawned upon the Eleventh Regiment leading the advance at Anderson Hill, near Port Gibson, Miss., where the rebels were driven back in confusion. May 15, the brigade took part in the battle of Champion ITills, and the next day cut off the retreat of the enemy at Black River Bridge, the Eleventh Regiment taking upward of 1,000 prisoners, with a regimental stand of colors. On the 19th they were in the trenches before Vicksburg, and participated in the ter- rible charge of the 22d. They were actively employed in the siege that followed, and were there when the place surrendered. Immediately after that event the Eleventh joined the expedition to Jackson, and took part in the "Second Teche Campaign," going as far as Opelousas. Return- ing over almost impassable roads, they embarked at Algiers on the 19th of November for Bra- zos Santiago, Tex. There they received orders to re-enforce Gen. Banks at Aranzas Pass, and afterward to proceed to Fort Esperanza, where they arrived too late to assist Gen. Washburn in reducing the enemy at that place. Three-fourths of the regiment having re-enlisted, they were relieved from duty on the 11th of February, and mustered in as veterans on the 13th. The non-veterans were temporarily transferred to Col. Guppey's regiment (the Thirty-third). The re-enlisted portion reached Madison March 21, and were received in splendid style by the State authorities and citizens. They again left the State on the 25th of April, and proceeded to Memphis. They afterward participated in the various expeditions in Northern Mississippi and Alabama, doing good service for which they were highly commended by the commanding officers. The regiment was mustered out in Mobile September 4, 1865, and reached home on the 18th. Following are the death losses of Company H : Killed in action-Sergts. A. C. Bacon and C. Brunaller, and Private F. M. Hartson. Died of wounds-Sergt. W. H. Jacobus ;

Company D, Nineteenth Regiment .- Recruited in December, 1861, with Samuel K. Vaughan as Captain, William H. Spain as First Lieutenant, and Edward O. Emmerson as Second Lieutenant. They were mustered into service April 30, 1862, and left for the Potomac on the 2d of June. Going to Norfolk, Va., soon afterward, they remained there until April, 1863, and thereafter did outpost and picket duty in Virginia and North Carolina. They were engaged for the first time at Newbern, N. C., on the 1st of February, 1864. On the 12th of May, a portion of the regiment, including Company D, participated in the movement upon Fort Darling, and on the 16th, in attempting to dislodge a party of rebel skirmishers, lost twenty-five men killed and wounded. In June, they accompanied the advance of Gen. Grant's army upon Petersburg, and participated in the celebrated assault upon the enemy's works. In August, the re-enlisted men of the regiment, 250 in number, received veteran furloughs, and reached Madison on the 22d of that month, returning in October, and proceeding at once to the trenches before Richmond. On the 21st of October, they took part in the battle of Fair Oaks, leaving on the field seven officers and 136 enlisted men, most of whom were wounded and captured. The regiment returned to Camp Chapin, before Richmond, with eighty men, where they were joined by the non-veteran portion, who had been on duty at Norfolk. On the 3d of April, 1865, they were ordered to assault the enemy's works, and, meeting with but little opposition, marched into the city and planted the regimental colors upon the city hall. Their subsequent movements were unimportant, save that which brought them home. They were mustered out of service on the 9th of August, in the rebel capital, and reached Madison on the 15th.

The fatalities in Company D were : Killed in action. Corps. Sylvester Richmond and Albert Waldref; Privates C. Allen, B. Sherwin and N. Shandt. Died of disease-Corp. B. S. Daniels ; Privates W. Alverson, J, Congor, G. Dey, C. Gilson, D Hall, A. Kline, J. Lord, P. Redmond and G. R. Smith.

Capt. Vaughan, through various promotions, was Colonel of the regiment when mustered out, Lieut. Spain succeeding him as Captain.

Twenty-third Regiment, Companies C, G and H .- Fully one-third of this regiment went from Columbia County. Company C was organized in Portage, with Edgar P. Hill as Cap- tain ; Oliver H. Sorrenson, First Lieutenant, and John Shoemaker, Second Lieutenant. Com- pany-G was from Columbus, James F. Hazelton, Captain ; Chester W. Tuttle, First Lieutenant, and William H. Dunham, Second Lieutenant. Company H was from Lodi, with E. Howard Irwin as Captain ; D. Cyrus Holdridge, First Lieutenant, and Robert Steele, Second Lieu- tenant. J. J. Guppey, promoted from the Tenth, was Colonel of the Twenty-third during its entire service. He was wounded and taken prisoner at Carrion Crow Bayou, La., November 3, 1863, and exchanged in December, 1864.

Captain Hill, of Company C, became Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment in August, 1863.

The regimental organization was perfected at Camp Randall, under the superintendence of Col. Guppey, and left for active service September 15, 1862, under orders to proceed to Cincinnati, then menaced by Kirby Smith's forces. Passing through Cincinnati, they crossed into Kentucky, and were assigned to position in Gen. Green Clay Smith's Division. After marching through various parts of the Blue Grass State, they proceeded to Memphis, Tenn., by water, arriving on the 27th of November. The regiment was there assigned to the First Brigade,

HISTORY OF COLUMBIA COUNTY.

Tenth Division, and at once took position in the army destined for the reduction of Vicksburg. Their first engagement of any note occurred at Fort Hindman, on the Arkansas River, January 11, 1863. While moving forward, the Twenty-third was assailed by an unexpected enfilading fire from the enemy's rifle-pits. Companies B, G and K were thrown out as skirmishers, the remaining companies attacking the rifle-pits. The conflict continued with great fury for three hours, when the rebels, anticipating the charge which had been ordered, raised the white flag and surrendered unconditionally. The regiment received many congratulations for their conduct from the division and brigade commanders. Their loss was 4 killed and 34 wounded. The regiment then returned to Young's Point, near Vicksburg, but the malaria of the Yazoo swamps came near accomplishing what the rebels had failed to do, and of 700 men in line of battle, three- fourths were under the surgeon's care. The health of the regiment improving, their next active work was at Cypress Bend, Ark., on the 18th of February, when a body of rebels were driven March 30 found

them on the battle-field at Fort Gibson, Miss., and on the 2d of May, were the first to enter that village. On the 15th, the line of march was resumed, and the 16th witnessed the battle of Champion Hills, in which the Twenty-third participated with such ardor and effect as to receive the congratulations of the commanding General. The next day, they pushed forward to Black River Bridge, capturing the Sixtieth Tennessee, with its colors. The 18th brought them to within three miles of Vicksburg, and on the 22d they took part in the general assault on the enemy's works, pushing forward to the base of one of the forts. At the close of the siege that followed, the Twenty-third numbered but 150 men for duty. August 24, they proceeded south, in transports, to Algiers, opposite New Orleans. After an extended expedition through Missis- sippi, the brigade was attacked, at Carrion Crow Bayou, on the 3d of November, by a vastly superior force. The Twenty-third stood firm, doing effective work, until flanked on both sides, when the order was given to fall back. This movement was executed without panic, and upon the arrival of re-enforcements, they again advanced in line, forcing the enemy back and gaining possession of the field. The regiment, at the beginning of the action, numbered 220 officers and men, of whom 128 were killed, wounded or taken prisoners, the latter including Col. Guppey and Capt. Sorrenson, who were severely wounded. The regiment thereafter engaged in the Texas and Red River expedition. On the 8th of April, 1864, occurred the battle of Sabine Cross Roads, in which the Twenty-third lost 7 killed, 14 wounded aud 43 prisoners. The last general engagement in which they participated was at Mobile, Ala. In the mean time, they had performed some wonderful marches and engaged in numerous skirmishes. They were mustered out of service July 4, 1865, reached Madison on the 16th, and were disbanded on the 24th.

HISTORY OF COLUMBIA COUNTY.

Companies A and E, Twenty-ninth Regiment .- Company A was composed almost entirely of citizens of Columbia County. Bradford Hancock, who, in April, 1865, became Colonel of the regiment, was its first Captain, being succeeded by Lieut. O. F. Mattice, in April, 1863. Capt. Mattice was succeeded, upon his death in June, 1864, by Lieut. O. D. Ray. promoted from the ranks. Company E recruited along the border between Dodge and Columbia Coun- tics. Its Captains were Hezekiah Dunham, Darius J. Wells and Joshua A. Stark, the two latter by promotion from lieutenancies.

The Twenty-ninth was mustered into service at Camp Randall September 27, 1862, and left to join the army in the Southwest November 2, arriving opposite Helena, Ark., on the 7th. Their first active duty was the routing of guerrilla bands in that vicinity. During February, 1863, they made an expedition to the Yazoo country, returning to Helena March 1. The regi- ment was soon afterward assigned position in the Thirteenth Army Corps. Their first battle was at Port Gibson. In this connection the brigade commander said of them : " I cannot refrain from special mention of the Twenty-ninth Wisconsin. It is a new regiment, but they fought like veterans, suffering severely, as their list of casualties will show." Their loss was 75 killed and wounded. They marched through the village the day after the battle, and, on the 15th of May, while going in the direction of Vicksburg, fell in with the enemy near Balton. On the 16th, the battle of Champion Hills was fought, the Twenty-ninth making one of the most brill- iant bayonet charges on record, capturing over 300 prisoners, a stand of colors, and a brass battery. Their loss was 19 killed and 95 wounded. Six days later, they were before Vicks- burg, engaged in the general assault upon the enemy's works, and during the remainder of the celebrated siege were employed in the rifle-pits before the rebel stronghold, losing 6 men killed and wounded. When Vicksburg surrendered they took part in the siege of Jackson, losing 5 men killed and wounded, returning to Vicksburg July 22. November 3 found them support- ing a Missouri battery at the battle of Carrion Crow Bayou. January 5, 1864, they embarked at Algiers to take part in the Texas expedition, returning to New Orleans February 23. On the 8th of April, they took part in the battle at Sabine Cross Roads, and out of 183 men engaged 63 were reported killed, wounded and missing. After aiding in the construction of the famous Red River dam, they took part in the battle of Simmsport on the 18th of May. The remainder of their service was devoted to those worse forms of warfare, forced marches and guard and picket duty, concluding with the battle of Mobile, at which place 2 members of the regiment were killed by the explosion of a magazine. The Twenty-ninth was mustered out of service June 22, 1865, and reached Madison July 5, receiving their pay and being disbanded on the 17th.
