Colonels. George W. Carr, John W. Poole, Samuel S. Crowe, Majors.,
James F. McCurdy, John W. Poole, Samuel S. Crowe, Charles A.
Hubbard.

This regiment was organized at Madison and was mustered in
Oct. 31, 1862. It left the state Nov. 9 for Cairo, IL., then
went to Memphis, where it was assigned to Buckland's brigade.

It moved with Sherman's army to Hurricane Creek, near Oxford,
Miss., and during December operated in the vicinity of La
Grange, Tennessee. In January it moved to Corinth and then back to
Memphis, where it performed railroad and blockhouse guard duty
from Feb. 22 to Mar. 13.

It was then ordered to Helena, Ark., and thence to Duckport,
La., where its division was transferred to the 15th army
corps. On May 2 it crossed the peninsula in the opening
movement of the Vicksburg campaign, crossed the Mississippi at
Grand Gulf on the 7th with its corps and entered Jackson on
the 14th, after a sharp artillery duel.

It moved on Vicksburg on the 16th, crossed the Big Black
River, reached the rear of the city on the 18th, and
participated in the assaults upon the defenses. It was
actively engaged in the siege until June 22, when it moved
with its division to intercept Johnston's army and threw up
works at Little Creek. It was in the siege and capture of
Jackson in July and then went into camp near the Big Black,
where it remained until Sept. 5.

It then moved to Oak Ridge and encamped until Oct. 14, when
its brigade moved in an expedition to Brownsville. Returning
to Memphis in November, it was engaged until May 10, 1864, on
picket and provost guard duty, in several expeditions into
Mississippi, and in occasional skirmishes.

In June it took part in the Guntown expedition, and was in the
battle near Brice's crossroads, in which the Union forces
were driven from the field, the regiment losing 13 killed, 56
wounded and 184 prisoners, a total of 253. The remainder of
the regiment reached Memphis on the 12th, moved to Moscow on
the 22nd and then proceeded to Harrisburg, Miss., where it
assisted in repelling the assault on July 15.

It then returned to Memphis, having several skirmishes on the
march, and moved on another expedition on the 28th, crossing
the Tallahatchie on driftwood and skirmishing with the enemy,
then moved to Oxford and back. Early in September it moved to
Devall's Bluff, Ark., thence to Cape Girardeau Mo., from
there to Little Santa Fe, Kansas., and then to St. Louis, which
place was reached Nov. 14.

It then embarked for Nashville, arriving there in time to take
part in the battle in December, and then joined in the pursuit
of the enemy to the Tennessee River. At Eastport, Miss., it
went into winter quarters, but left on Feb. 6, 1865, for
Dauphin Island Ala., which place was reached March 3.

It moved up the river on the 19th, took position at Spanish
Fort, was active in the siege until the evacuation, when it
moved to Fort Blakely and took part in the storming of that
position. It moved to Montgomery on the 20th, and there it
remained until May 10, moving thence to Selma and Gainesville,
where it was stationed until ordered home in August.

It was mustered out at Memphis, Aug. 10, 1865, but Cos. I and
K and the remaining recruits were kept in service until
discharged the following October.

The original strength of the regiment was 952; gain by
recruits, 200; total 1,152. Loss by death, 279; desertion,
47, unaccounted for, 22.
