HISTORY OF ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIRST

INFANTRY.

The One Hundred and Thirty-first Infantry was composed of men from the coun-

ties of Hamilton, Gallatin, Hardin, Pope and Massac. They were enlisted during the

months of July and August, 1862. By order of Governor Richard Yates, it was or-

ganized and went into camp at old Fort Massac, Massac county, Illinois, in September,

1862, and remained there in camp until November 13, when it was mustered into the

United States service. The Regiment then numbered 815 men, excluding officers.

While at Fort Massac the Regiment was without tents, camps equipage or guns,

except a few inferior guns borrowed for use in guard duty and squad drill, but notwith-

standing its limited outfit, the guard duty and squad drill was kept up. During this

time the measles broke out in camp, and about 100 of the men were prostrated there-

with, nearly all of whom either died or were afterwards discharged for disability

caused thereby.

After the Regiment was mustered into the service, it was ordered to hold itself

in readiness to proceed to Memphis, Tenn., which order was received with joy by all

the men, notwithstanding quite a number of them were sick at the time.

On December 2 it embarked on the steamboat Iowa, and proceeded to Cairo, wherethe men were furnished with guns of inferior quality, being the Harper's Ferry flint-

lock guns, and three different sizes in calibre, altered for caps, which were received

under protest. The Regiment then went on same boat to Memphis, arriving there De-

cember 7. It reported to General Hurlbut, and was ordered into camp about two anda half miles southeast of the city, where it found quarters in old stables and outbuild-

ings. Tents were then issued, and a portion of the guns were exchanged for Spring-

field rifles. The Regiment was assigned to General Landrum's Brigade of General A.

J. Smith's Division of General Sherman's Corps, being the Second Brigade of the First

Division of the Seventeenth Army Corps of the Army of the Tennessee, which was thenpreparing to move on Vicksburg.

On December 20 the Regiment again embarked on the steamboat Iowa and took

position in the fleet, and moved down the Mississippi. Landed at Milliken's Bend, La.,

on December 24, where the Regiment was engaged in picket duty until December 27,

when it again embarked on the same boat, and with a portion of the fleet moved up the

Yazoo River to near Haines' Bluff, where it took part in the engagement at that

place, which ended January 1, 1863. It then returned on board the transports, and that

night the whole fleet was ordered to Milliken's Bend, where it remained until Jan-

aury 4.

General John A. McClernand now taking command of the Corps, it started on anexpedition against Arkansas Post, moving up the Mississippi on the transports to the

mouth of White River, thence through the pass and up the Arkansas River about thirty

miles to within about three miles of Arkansas Post, where it disembarked about noonof January 10. The One Hundred and Thirty-first Regiment then marched until about11 o'clock at night, only making a distance of four miles, the march being throughswamps covered with underbrush and fallen timber; then coming to a halt, it formedIn line of battle and remained so until daylight next morning. During all this time a

606 ADJUTNAT general's REPORT.

snow and rain storm raged unceasingly, and the soldiers were drenched to the skin.

•On the following day a greater portion of the Regiment was engaged on detached duty,

assisting heavy artillery through the swamps; the remainder continued in line of bat-

tle on the extreme left. This point the enemy shelled continuously during a greater

part of the day, with the view of driving the Union forces from this portion of the

woods, and making their escape through the same; but failing to do this, the shelling

ceased about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The actual fighting at Arkansas Post lasted only about four hours, when the fort

with its entire forces surrendered.

The Regiment remained at this point four days, burying the dead, filling ditches,

and demolishing fortifications; during all of which time it was exposed to one contin-

uous storm of rain and snow. On January 15th it again embarked on the steamboatIowa and headed toward Vicksburg. On January 23d, landed at Young's Point, and twodays later disembarked and went into camp on a spot surrounded by a levee. Here therain poured down almost incessantly; the river was out of its bank, the surface of theriver striking the outside of the levee was twelve inches higher than the ground en-

camped on. While here every man at all able for duty either worked to his full capacity

with pick, shovel and axe in the canal through which it was expected to turn the river,

or did duty on the picket lines, when to get to their posts on the picket lines they werecompelled to wade in water to their waists. A large number of the men while encampedhere were prostrated with sickness, some with measles, some with smallpox and somewith pneumonia; and the regimental surgeon was unable for duty, and each day thosefree from sickness had the sad duty to perform of burying from one to five of their

companions in the levee, who had died of disease. The Regiment remained at this

point—its ranks continuing to be lessened by disease and death—until March 2, 1S63,

when, by order of General McClernand, it embarked on steamer Westwind for Mem-phis to recruit its health. Arrived at Memphis March 6th and went into camp at Ft.

Pickering where he remained until May 9th.

The Regiment was now greatly improved in health and spirits, but its ranks only

numbered about 400 men, the rest having been killed, died, or disabled and sent to hos-

pitals. On May 10th it left Memphis on steamboat Golden Era for its third voyage to

Vicksburg, accompanied by a gunboat and steamers Crescent City and Warren, whichhad on board the Sixty-third, Eighty-seventh and One Hundred and Twentieth Illinois

Regiments. Wheu near the foot of Island No. S2, the Golden Era being in advance andrunning near the shore was fired into by a band of about 100 guerrillas, who weresecreted behind drift logs on the bank, wounding one man fatally and two slightly, andkilling a mule. The men returned the fire but with what effect could not be told, asthe band disappeared at the sight of a little cloud of smoke that floated up from theport hole of the gunboat, which was a short distance in the rear. The Regiment arrivedat Sherman's lauding on May 12th, and then on the 17th moved up to Milliken's Bend,and relieved the Thirtieth Ohio that was on duty there, and remained there guardingarmy supplies from the numerous guerrilla bands which infested that locality until

May 24th, when it returned to Sherman's Landing on steamer Fanny Bullett and en-

camped in full view of the city of Vicksburg. A part of the Regiment then did dutyon the picket line on the point opposite Vicksburg, and the balance in manning mortarboats.

On June 7, the One Hundred and Thirty-first, together with the One Hundred andTv^entieth Regiment, was ordered to Milliken's Bend to support a colored regiment of

about 300 or 400 men, and 120 men of the Twenty-third Iowa, who had been attacked byabout 1200 rebels. In five minutes after the first tap of the drum, the One Hundred andThirty-first Regiment was in line and in ten minutes they were on board the transports,

the One Hundred and Twentieth Regiment soon following and in about one hour theywere in line of battle at the Bend, but the rebels had retreated at sight of the gun-.boats. The Regiment remained there two days expecting an attack, but as none wasmade it was again ordered to Sherman's Landing, where it continued on its picket dutyand manning mortar boats until the surrender of Vicksburg, July 4, 1863. Shortly afterthe surrender it moved to the city, and on July 20 it embarked for Paducah, Ky. Ar-rived there July 27 and went into camp until October 15, doing picket and camp duty.and drilling.

On September 16, 1863, in compliance with a general order, the Regiment was con-solidated into a battalion of four companies, and the Colonel, Major, Surgeon, Chaplain,


ten officers of the line, and all surplus non-commissioned officers were mustered out,

leaving the four companies full to the maximum and well officered, with Lieuteuaut

Colonel R. A. Peter in command.

The Battalion had but little time to drill, being constantly on picket duty, and on

October 15 was ordered by General A. J. Smith to move by rail to Mayfield, Ky., there

to be joined by a company of cavalry and three pieces of artillery, all to move under

command of Lieutenant Colonel Peter, to Murry, Ky., twelve miles southeast of May-

field, and to go into camp and fortify at that point to give protection to the Union peo-

ple there, who had been harrassed by frequent raids of guerrilla bands, and were then

expecting an attack from General Forrest, who was reported within twelve miles with

500 or 600 men. The Regiment with about 200 men able for duty moved promptly and ar-

rived at Mayfield on the 15th, but no cavalry or artillery reported to join it. Although

by the failure of the cavalry and artillery to report, it left the Regiment at a great

disadvantage, the foi'ces which it expected to meet outnumbering it three to one, still

nothing daunted, it moved on to Murry, where it arrived on the afternoon of the 16th,

and hastily threw up temporary works in anticipation of an onset that night, but no

attack was made that night, and next day, assisted by 50 negroes, they constructed such

works as would enable them to repel the expected assault. The soldiers, however, weremuch dissappointed as no attack was made.

On October 20 the Regiment received orders to move without delay to CallowayLanding, on Tennessee River, and there take shipment for Vicksburg. It arrived at

Calloway Landing on October 21, and shipped on steamboat Masonic Gem, and arrived

at Vicksburg on October 29, and was then ordered by General Leggett to go into campin the rear of the city and to clean up guns, arrange camps, etc., which order waspromptly obeyed. After a few days spent in drilling, the Regiment received order

No. 90, requiring the One Hundred and Thirty-first to consolidate with the Twenty-ninth Regiment, and by General Order No. 261, the consolidation was made; the menof the One Hundred and Thirty-first being placed in the different companies of the

Twenty-ninth Regiment to fill them up, and all camp and garrison equipage and all

quartermaster stores were turned over to the Quartermaster of the Twenty-ninthRegiment, on Nov. 14, 1S63.

On December 26, 1863, Lieutenant Colonel R. A. Peter, Captains Thomas S. Wood-ward, James H. Young, Eugene B. Cropper, LaFayette Furtchell, and LieutenantCalvin Mason resigned.

Thus ends the history of the One Hundred and Thirty-first Regiment as a separate

body. "While it was not its fortune, or misfortune, as you may choose to term it, to

meet the enemy face to face in many conflicts, or to be tested in the crucible of a

pitched battle, still its record is one to be proud of. The men who composed theRegiment were of the bravest character, and they never shrank from any duty im-

posed upon them. Whenever an order was given, it was promptly obeyed and exe-

cuted with a will. Although no large number of the men were pierced by rebel

bullets, still the death and disability list was very large on account of sickness, in-

duced and brought on by exposure made necessary by the very nature of the dutyand work assigned them.
