712 ADJUTANT general's REPORT.

HISTORY OF FIFTY-FIFTH INFANTRY.

The Fifty-fifth Illinois Infantry Volunteers was organized at Camp Douglas, Chicago,

and mustered into service October 31, 1861.

It was one of the two Regiments raised by David Stuart, its subsequent Colonel, underAct of Congress, and called the "Douglas Brigade." The other Regiment was the one after-

wards known as the famous "Forty-second Illinois." The two Regiments never served

together. The Fifty-fifth Illinois was principally made up from bodies of recruits raised

in Fulton, McDonougb, LaSalle, Grundy, DeKalb, Kane and Winnebago counties, and its

members were largely young men raised upon farms.

Left Camp Douglas November 9, 1861, over the Chicago & Alton Railroad for Alton, Illi

nois. thence by steamboat for St. Louis, and arrived at Benton Barracks, November 11.

Remained at Benton Barracks under the immediate command of General W. T. Sherman,until January 12, 1862. when it departed for Paducah, Kentucky, by steamer, which place

was reached on January 22. The voyage was a tedious and painful one owing to steamer

being frozen into ice and aground for many days.

The Regiment participated in the expedition sent to Columbus, Kentucky, to test the

question of its evacuation immediately after the capture of Fort Donelson.

The contest at the latter place was avoided by the Regiment in consequence of the utter

worthlessness of its arms before that time issued to it.

On March 8, 1862, the Fifth-fifth embarked on steamer to participate in the movement upthe Tennessee River which resulted in the battle of Shiloh, movement on Corinth and etc.

On March 15. it landed with other troops at a point several miles above Pittsburg Landingand attempted to cut the railroad in the interior, but this object was defeated by high water.

From that point the expedition dropped down to Pittsburg Landing and went into campon the front line. It was here brigaded with the Fifty-fourth and Seventy-first Ohio, andColonel D. Stuart, of the Fifty-fifth, placed in command of the brigade then known as the

Second Brigade, Fifth (Sherman's) Division. Although belonging to Sherman's Division

it was located about two miles east ol the other three Brigades of its Division, being in

point of fact the extreme left of the army, which met the rebel attack so soon to go into his-

tory as the battle of Shiloh.

Prentiss' Division was next to its right and front, though about one mile away. TheFifty-fifth with its companion regiments, was encamped upon the road leading from Pitts-

burg Landing to Hamburgh Landing, and near a small branch of Lick Creek.

On the morning of the battle of Shiloh, like all other troops upon the field, it had nopremonitions of the fearful conflict to follow, until the report of fire arms further to the

right gave evidence of that fact. The Regiment, under the immediate command of Lieu-

tenant Colonel O. Malmborg, formed the center of the brigade, the Seventy-first Ohio being

on its right, and the Fifty-fourth Ohio (Zouaves) upon its left. After forming line in sev.

eral localities contiguous to its camp, during which time it was not engaged except in skir-

mishing though under the fire of Gage's rebel battery, position was taken to the left of its

camp and about sixty rods in its rear along the south edge of a precipitous ravine. During-

the evolutions resulting in this formation the Seventy-first Ohio (excepting 18 men and its

Adjutant) retreated.

The position of the Regiment at this time was with its right resting at a point precisely

500 yards east of Colonel Stuart's headquarters, with the Fifty-fourth Ohio upon its left. Afull half mile of space unoccupied by troops existed to its right. This dangerous interval

had been in part caused by the retreat of the Seventy-first Ohio. No artillery was upon this

portion of the field to assist the federal troops. The Fifty fifth Illinois had exactly 512 menin line and the Fifty-fourth Ohio from 350 to 400.

FIFTY-FIFTH INFANTRY. ilii

In this position it was finally attacked by Chalmers and Jackson's Brigades of Bragg's

Corps, who had been placed in position at this point under the personal supervision of Gen-eral Albert Sidney Johnston, the rebel commander-in-chief.

The main attack commenced here about noon, and this position was held until between

two and three o'clock p. m., by the two isolated regiments above named, and was of incal-

culable value to the ultimate success of the Union Army, inasmuch as ir defended the ex-

treme left during a vital period from a flank movement contemplated by the rebel order of

battle and vigorously attempted at the period spoken of.

After being nearly surrounded and suffering terribly the Regiment retreated from point

to point and took its position with its organization still complete in the last line formed in

the evening near the Landing. It participated in the battle of Monday, acting on the right,

and suffered some loss. During this terrific conflict, the first in its history, the Fifty-fifth

lost the heaviest of any federal regiment in that engagement except the Ninth Illinois. Theloss of the Fifty-fifth was 1 officer and 51 enlisted men killed and 9 ofllcers and 190 menwounded, being a total of 250 men; 26 men were captured.

The Regiment was engaged in the advance on Corinth and lost 1 killed and 8 woundedon May 17.

Entered Corinth May 30, and moved thence westward with General Sherman, stopping

for a greater or less period at Chewalla. LaGrange. Lafayette, Moscow and Holly Springs.

On July 21. 1862. the Regiment reached Memphis with General Sherman's Division and re-

mained until November 26. doing camp and picket duty, participating in several expeditions

into the interior, having one man wounded. Took part in what was known as the "Talla-

hatchie" campaign, leaving Memphis November 26. 1862. Returned to Memphis and de.

scended the Mississippi River to take part in the battle of Chickasaw Bayou, where it lost 2

killed and 4 wounded.

Was at battle of Arkansas Post January 10 and 11, losing 3 men wounded.

Its first Colonel, David Stuart, who had previously been appointed Brigadier General by

the President failed of confirmation and thereupon quit the service in the spring of 1863.

Colonel O. Malmborg commanded the Regiment during the balance of its three years term.

April 30. 1863, was with expedition making feint on Haines' Bluff. Thence it proceeded

after the army, then making the movement in rear of Vicksburg, overtaking the same in

time to be under fire at Champion's Hill, suffering no loss. Crossed the Big Black May 17.

at Bridgeport, and arrived in front of the works at Vicksburg, May 18. Participated in the

assaults of May 19 and 22, and bore its full share during the siege, losing 14 killed and 32

wounded.

It lost 1 man killed while scouting near the Big Black. After being present at the sur-

render of Vicksburg July 4, the Regiment proceeded with Sherman's expedition to Jackson,

wherein it lost 1 killed and 2 wounded.

Encamped in the vicinity of the Big Black until September 27, 1863. when it embarked at

Vicksburg for Memphis and moved thence through Corinth to luka. Moved finally across

the Tennessee and upon the laborious march to Chattanooga, arriving at that point Novem-ber 21. 1863. During night of November 23. with rest of brigade, manned fleet of pontoon

boats in North Chickamauga Creek and during intense darkness descended and crossed the

Tennessee and captured the enemy's pickets—one of the most daring operations of the war.

At the battle of Mission Ridge, which followed, the Regiment lost 3 wounded.

Marched with Sherman the round trip to the relief of Knoxville. Encamped after return

successively at Bridgeport, Bellefonte and Larkinsville. during the winter. While at the

latter place after exacting the right to elect officers the Regiment veteranized, at whichtime the existing field officer^ all failed of election and at the end of their term quit the ser-

vice. The veterans were granted 30 days furlough from this point. At the opening of the

Atlanta campaign the Regiment took its place as usual in the Second Division of the Fif-

teenth Corps and shared in the manifold labors and dangers of that famous campaign in-

cluding the movement on, and battle of Jonesboro. losing 36 killed and 86 wounded, being a

total of 122, or about one-half of its number engaged.

The heaviest loss was at the assault upon Kenesaw Mountain on June 27, 1864, viz.: 14

killed, including its gallant Commander Captain Augustine, and 33 wounded.

Joined in the pursuit of Hood through Northern Alabama and returned to Atlanta.

Georgia, where 162 non-veterans were discharged.

(i'l' ADJUTANT GENERALS REPORT.

After surrender of Johnston, Regiment marched for Washington, v/a Richmond, andtook part in the Grand Review.

The Regiment was tlien ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, where it remained in camp a

few weeks. Thence moved by steamer to Little Rock. Arkansas, where it was musteredout August 14, 1865. Arrived at Chicago, August 22, where it received final payment anddischarge.

During the entire period of its service it received less than 50 recruits, hence all its

casualties were from its original members.This Regiment was engaged in 31 battles and was 128 days under fire. It marched 3,240

miles, traveled by railroad 2,875 miles and by water a further distance of 5,850 miles, total

li.9tJ5 miles.

It lost actually killed in battle 108 men, and its total wounded were 339. making an aggre-

gate of 417 struck with the missies of war. There are no data to state the exact number of

mortally wounded though it is known that 35 died from such cause within one year after

"Shiloh." Of the men who actually took the field in battle array more than two out of everythree were hit by bullets. About one-third of such men lost their lives from the casualties

of battle or disease. During the war this Regiment had only 49 men captured, which speaksvolumes for its discipline and cohesion.

It was extremely fortunate in its medical department. Dr. E. O. F. Roler, of Chicago,

being its surgeon in chief.

Its Chaplain, the Rev. M. L. Haney, was all that could be desired, noted as well for his

great personal bravery, as for his zealous performance of professional duties.

It is not probable that any other Regiment so closely followed the destiny of General W.T. Sherman. It was first in his brigade at Benten Barracks, in December, 1861. and there-

after became a member of the Fifth Division commanded by that General. Subsequently it

was always a member of the Second Division, of the Fifteenth Army Corps, and following

all the footsteps of that General, except the Meridian raid. In its various marches it tra-

versed every southern state except Delaware, Texas and Florida.

Owing to its extraordinary losses at Shiloh and receiving no recruits it was small in

numbers at all subsequent periods and noted for its proficiency in drill.

After reorganization at the end of its three years term, it was commanded until nearly

the close of its career by its senior captain, when Captain (J. A. Andress became LieutenantColonel. Its dead now lie buried in nine different states.
