HISTORY OF ONE HUNDRED AND THIRD INFANTRY.

About the 6th of August. 1862, Hon. A. C. Babcock. Captain Q. W. Wright, late of the

Seventeenth Illinois, Mr. Peterson and other influential men of the county, concluded that

it was possible to form an entire regiment from Fulton county.

On the 6th of September nine companies arrived at Peoria, went into camp, and organ-

ized as the One Hundred and Third Regiment, electing A. C. Babcock Colonel; Parley

Stearns Lieutenant Colonel; G. W. Wright Major; W. A. Dickerman Quartermaster and S.

S. Tipton Adjutant.

It had been understood with Governor Yates that in case Fulton county could not. by

the 1st of October, furnish a sufiicient number of men to form a regiment, he would send a

company from some other county.

About the 27th of September. Colonel Babcock visited Governor Yates to get the tenth

company. On referring to the last morning report, it was found there were men enough to

muster ten companies.

Colonel Babcock returned, and on the Ist of October ordered that the extra men be

formed into a company. On the 2d of October this was done, when the Regiment was mus-tered into the service of the United States by Lieutenant Knox, U. S. A.

The 18th of October Colonel Babcock and Lieutenant Colonel Stearns resigned their

commissions to the Governor, never having mustered into the United States service. Thevacancies were filled as follows: Qurtermaster Dickerman was made Colonel. MajorWright was made Lieutenant Colonel. Captain Willison, of Company A, Major. Lieutenant

Bishop, Captain of Company A. Lieutenant Worley. First Lieutenat of Company A. H.Willison, Second Lieutenant of Company A, Second Lieutenant Mellor, of Company F, wasmade Quartermaster. J. H. Bailey was made Second Lieutenant of Company F.

The oflScers of the One Hundred and Third had many of them seen service in other

regiments, the Seventeenth Infantry furnishing six; the Eighth Infantry two; the SeventhCavalry one. and the Fifty-fifth Infantry one. For this reason the Regiment early took a

front rank in regard to drill.

The 24th of October, the Regiment being in a fair condition for service, received orders

to be ready to move at a moment's warning. On the 30th orders were received to move bythe Illinois Central Railroad to Cairo. The next day we bade adieu to our many friends in

Peoria.

At Cairo we took boat for Columbus, Ky.. where we were again placed on cars and at

night arrived at Bolivar. Tenn., having made the trip from Peoria in 52 hours.

We were now at the front, within 18 miles of a large and well appointed force of the

enemy. We were assigned to the First Brigade, commanded by Colonel Pugh, of the Forty-

first Illinois, Fourth Division, Brigadier General Veach, Thirteenth Army Corps. General

J. B. McPherson commanding.November 3 we moved en route for LaGrange. where we arrived with the advance of

the army, went into quarters near, and finally in town. Drill and frequent scouts filled upthe time until November 28, when with the army designed by General Grant for the cap-

ture of Vicksburg we moved south, and on the 1st of December passed through Holly


Springs and camped near Waterford. at which place we were left as garrison, with the ad-

ditional duty of guarding the railroad to the Tallahatchie River. Companies B, H. I, G, Eand K being placed on the railroad with orders to fortify and protect bridges.

We were here attacked by the scourge of the army measles, from which we lost a large

number of men, who either died or had to be discharged. We remained at Waterford until

the 31st of December, when the Regiment moved by rail to Jackson, Tenn., Company G tak-

ing the wagon train. At Jackson we were assigned to the Second Brigade of the Second

Division of the Sixteenth Army Corps, Colonel Dunham commaHding Brigade. Drill and

usual camp duties filled up our time until the 10th of March, 1863. when we were moved by

rail to Lagrange and assigned to the Second Brigade, First Division. Sixteenth ArmyCorps. The Brigade consisted of the Sixth Iowa, Fortieth Illinois, Forty-sixth Ohio, Fif-

teenth Michigan and One Hundred and Third Illinois—commanded by Colonel C. C. Wolcott

of the Forty-sixth Ohio. These regiments (with the exception of the Fifteenth Michigan,

which was afterwards transferred to to the Second Division of the Fifteenth Corps) and

with the addition of other regiments from time to time, constituted the Second Brigade of

the old Fourth Division, and when it was broken up at Atlanta in September, 1864, was the

Second Brigade of the First Division, Fifteenth Army Corps, until they were mustered out

at Louisville, Ky., in 1865.

We remained at Lagrange, following the regular duties of camp, picket and scout until

the "Grierson Raid" was arranged. The 17th April, with the garrison of the post under

General W. Sooy Smith, left Lagrange, striking south to Holly Springs and Waterford,

turning to the right until we arrived at Colliersville on the M. & C. R. R.; thence back to

Lagrange. We were gone nine days. Marched one hundred and seventy-five miles on

three days' rations.

About the 1st of May Companies A and F were sent to a small station on Porter's Creek,

eight or ten miles east of Grand Junction. While here. Captain Bishop in command, as-

sisted by some natives, captured the notorious guerrila chief, known as Colonel Sol. Street,

with almost his entire command, some twenty-five or thirty.

The 2d of June the entire Regiment was placed on the M. & C. R. R. at different points.

The 5th we received orders to go to Memphis. Arrived the 6th and placed on transports the

8th, started down the river, arriving at Snyder's Bluff, on the Yazoo, the evening of the

13th and assisted to fortify the Bluffs. We were here attached to the Ninth Corps, Major

General J. Q. Parks commanding. The 23d we marched out to Oak Ridge, near Black River

and again fortified, thus guarding the rear approaches to Vicksburg.

July *th our part of the army, under command of General Sherman, was ordered to ad-

vance to Black River and be ready to cross. We arrived at Black River the night of the

4th. The One Hundred and Third was chosen to force the passage of the river, here four

to six rods wide, and from four to ten feet deep. Fortunately the order was revoked andthe next morning the enemy was gone. We crossed the river and were en route for Jack-

son. The nth we arrived in front of Jackson. On the 16th General Johnson quietly

evacuated and we took possession. During the siege and march we suffered greatly from

want of water. There being no wells and the cisterns soon giving out, we were forced to use

the water collected in pools, in nearly all of which General Johnson had caused to be killed

an ox or a mule, so that to use the water was victuals as well as drink.

The 24th, our Division having been assigned to the Fifteenth Corps, as the Fourth

Division, we started back to Black River, which we crossed about the 27th, and went into

Camp Sherman, having suffered most terribly while on the road from the heat and want of

water.

We remained here, drilling and doing a great deal of private foraging, the fruits of

which aided materially in preserving the health of the Regiment which, now that active

service was over, suffered severely. At one time there were but two commissioned ofificers

fit for duty in the Regiment. While here Company F was on detached duty with the

Division Commissary. September 2Sth we received marching orders, and the next day the

Fifteenth Corps was on the road and arrived at Vicksburg, taking transports for the North

as fast as they could be furnished.


The One Hundred and Third arrived at Memphis on the 11th, at 9 A. M.. drew new arms,

(we had heretofore been armed with old fashioned "69' Harper's Ferry muskets.) and at

11:20 were marching out of Memphis to the tune of "The Girl I Left Behind Me."We arrived at luka about the 20th, having made two considerable detours from the

direct line of march from Memphis. Here we received pay, transferred some men to the

Invalid Corps, refitted the command, and on the 27th crossed the Tennessee River at East-port, arriving at Florence the 29th, and began fortifying the place.

The 3d of November we again moved out, striking the N. & C, R. R. at Cowan about

the 12th, following the railroad to Stavenson and Bridgeport, where we arrived about the

18th.

An attempt had been made by General Corse, commanding, to mount the Brigade, andenough horses had been picked up to mount the Fifteenth Michigan, and two companies—

C

and G—of the One Hundred and Third, who were then detached from, and did not rejoin the

Regiment until the last of December, at Scottsboro, Ala.

On the 20th we left Bridgeport, and crossing Sand Ridge moved southeast so as to

strike Trenton, near which we camped the night of the 21st. After building numerous andextensive fires to mislead the enemy, about midnight we quietly withdrew, marching to-

wards Chattanooga, arrived at Wauhatchie the afternoon of the 22d, crossed the Tennesseeat Brown's Ferry, and moved up back of the hills near to the place where Sherman's armysubsequently crossed.

The morning of the 24th, with our Division, we crossed the river on the pontoon bridgeand began the attack on the north end of Missionary Ridge. By 3 P. M. we had assisted to

take the first of the hills, which we securely fortified, and at night drew up by hand the

guns of Richardson's First Missouri Battery and placed them in position.

The next hill, the one through which the tunnel passes, was the strong point of the

Confederate right, and was accordingly strongly fortified. On the 25th our Brigade chargedthese works, and had it been possible, would have taken the point. Captain Walsh, of Com-pany B, was killed within fifty feet of the rebel works, as were a number of men. Afterdoing all that could be done General Corse ordered us to retire, which we did (part waydown the hill) and fortified, expecting to try it again soon. In the meantime the rebel left

and center had been crushed, which relieved us of further serious fighting. The eight

companies at the beginning of the engagement mustered 237 men, of this number, one com-missioned ofiicer. Captain Walsh, and 19 enlisted men, were killea on the field, and 68

wounded, 5 or 6 of whom died of their wounds.After the engagement we followed Bragg for nearly two days and then went to the re-

lief of Burnside at Knoxville. Arriving within 20 miles of.Knoxville, we learned that Gen-eral Longstreet had raised the siege and "fled to the mountains."

Having rested, we set out on our return to Chattanooga, which place we passed throughabout the 16th ot December, arriving at Bridgeport the 19th, many of the men being literally

barefooted.

Being newly clothed and paid the 24th, we marchad to Stevenson, Ala., where we re-

mained over Christmas. The next day we started for Scottsboro, Ala., but a heavy rain

setting in we did not reach that place until the 28th.

In 91 days since we Had left Vicksburg we had been transported 500 miles, marched over1100 and participated in one of the most glorious victories of the war.

While in Scottsboro, nominally in winter quarters, few days passed on which we werenot called out for forage or scout.

Companies C and G returned to the Regiment, and Company F was again detailed to

the commissary department.

About the 8th of February, 1864, we were ordered to report at Cleveland. Tenn., which

we did on the 14th. Here we were attached to a Provisional Brigade composed of nine regi-

ments drawn like ourselves from the Fifteenth Corps, Colonel Dickerman, of the OneHundred and Third, being in command.

On the 23d we left Cleveland, Division commanded by General Chas. Cruft,and marchedto Catoosa Springs that night. Here we joined General Palmer, commandining this de-

tachment of the army.


The 24th we occupied the valley west of Tunnel Hill. During the night of the 24th

moved to within three miles of Buzzard Roost Gap. The next morning formed the advance

line and moved forward to wake up the enemy, which being accomplished, we were placed

in reserve. There was little time during the day. however, when more than three com-

panies of the entire nine regiments were in reserve.

At night General Palmer, finding the object of the trip accomplished, ordered us to re-

turn to the position of the night before. The object of the movement was to prevent the

rebels sending re-inforcements to their army in Mississippi, while Sherman was making his

Meridian Campaign.

The 26th we returned to Catoosa Springs, and the next day to Cleveland. We remained

at Cleveland for a few days, then marched back to Scottsboro. where we arrived about the

10th of March. Being properly refitted and reviewed, the 1st of May we set out for Chatta-

nooga, where we arrived the 3d, and began the glorious Atlanta Campaign. The 5th we

moved south, by the way of Crawfish Springs and Gordon's Mills, over a part of the battle

ground of Chickamauga. through Villanow to the entrance of Snake Creek Gap. fourteen

miles southwest of Dalton. By the 14th we were in sight of Resaca. where we lost one mankilled and several wounded, among the latter. Major Willison.

The 16th the enemy evacuated. We followed as fast as circumstances would permit

through Adairsville and Calhoun, arriving at Kingston the 20th. The 23d we struck south-

west to Van Wert, passing over the "Dug-down" Mountains, and camped on Pumpkin Vine

Creek, five miles southwest of Dallas, the night of the 25th. The 26th we moved through

Dallas, taking a position about a half mile southwest of town, having quite a lively skir-

mish, but with no loss to our Regiment. At night, works were built. The 27th. early, we

were attacked, but the attack was easily repulsed.

Here Captain Smith, of Company K. while advancing the skirmish line, with the help of

two men, captured a rebel outpost and made twenty-one prisoners.

Our loss this day was two killed and thirty-five wounded. On the afternoon of the 28th

General Hardee, with a large force, made several unsuccessful attacks on our Brigade.

The loss of the Regiment in this engagement was small in numbers but seemingly irre-

pairable, four being taken prisoners and eleven wounded, among the latter was Colonel W.A. Dickerman, who received a mortal wound near the closelof the engagement. He died at

2 o'clock on the morning of the 3th. His loss was severely felt by his command, and it is

believed that what reputation the Regiment had for discipline and prompt action when

called upon, was largely due to him.

The night of the Ist of June the army moved by the left tlank occupying Allatoona Pass,

the enemy falling back, his right resting on Kenesaw and his left on Lost Mountain. The

night of the 2d we rested at Ackworth. The 6th, made a reconnoissance to and beyond Big

Shanty and returned. The 7th we advanced to Big Shanty with the army, and about this

time were in reserve for three days, this being all the time that we were not in the actual

front during the entire Atlanta Campaign.

The 15th of June we moved to the extreme left of our army. and. by a rapid movement

of our Brigade, captured some 470 of the enemy, the loss of the Regiment being four killed

and seventeen corporals and one sergeant wounded. This was considered a bad day for

Chevrons.

June 27th our Brigade, as usual, was chosen from the Fifteenth Corps to assault the im-

pregnable Kenesaw. The attack was unsuccessful. Of twelve officers of the Regiment

who went into the action, three were killed; Lieutenant Bailey of Company P, Lieutenants

Montgomery and Branson of Company I, and foor wounded, among the latter Lieutenant-

Colonel Wright, commanding the Regiment. Colonel Wright was serving on the Division

Staff at the time, but, as the Regiment was without a field officer, he joined it and took

command. Of the enlisted men nineteen were killed, the wounded unknown.

The morning of July 4th we occupied Marietta, detaching a party to bury our dead of

the 27th. That duty being accomplished, we moved to the extreme right of the army, near

Nickajack Creek, where we remained until about the middle of the month, when, with the

Army of the Tennessee, we moved to the extreme left, crossed the Chatahoochie near

Roswell, and moved south to Decatur, finally swinging into line around Atlanta. On the

22d. when we were within one mile of the city. Gen. Hood attacked us with great skill and


vigor, the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Corps being partially driven back, with the exception

of the Brigade on the extreme right of the Seventeenth, our Regiment being the left Regi-

ment of the Fifteenth Corps, and, joining the Seventeenth Corps, changed from front to

rear and back again, until the order had been seven times repeated, each time repelling the

attack made on the position. During the day we captured some two or three hundred

prisoners. Being partially protected by works our loss was not severe. Lieutenant Blair,

of Company D, and three men being killed.

On the evening and night of the 27th we we^e transferred to the extreme right of the

army, where, on the 28th, while prolonging the line, we were again attacked by General

Hood, who threw line after line on our unprotected front, but without effect; our loss was4 killed.

Remaining in line until the night of the 25th of August we left our works, and passing

by the Confederate left, struck the A. & W. R. R. near Newman Station, destroyed some

miles of track, then passed on to the M. & A. R.R.. which we struck near Jonesboro on the

night of September 1. Here we attacked General Hood, who had just retreated from At-

lanta, and as usual defeated him.

On the 2d. Captain George Wilkinson, of Company B, A. A. A. G. of the Division, received

a wound, from which he died the 23d. He was one of the best loved and most respected

officers in the Regiment.

On the 5th of September we returned to and camped at East Point, six miles southwest

of Atlanta, and took the first night's rest since the 11th of May without the sound of a rebel

gun to lull us to sleep. We had been under fire all that time, and in the front except three

days. We had been in every engagement that the Brigade, Division or Corps had in any

way been engaged, and were as ragged as any Regiment in the army. We were immediately

clothed and refitted for business, in the meantime building a few miles of field works just to

keep our hands in.

To a detail of the Regiment in the form of a Company, in connection with a Confpany of

the 97th Indiana, was given the duty of guarding the neutral ground, on the part of our

army, while prisoners were being exchanged and citizens were being sent south by General

Sherman.

The Fourth Division of the Corps was here broken up and the Second Brigade was as-

signed to the First Division, General Charles Wood commanding.

September 27th, truce being concluded. General Hood having passed to our rear anddestroyed the railroad, we followed in his wake as far as Gaylesville, Ala. Returned to

Smyrna Camp Ground about the Ist of November, when we were again paid off and refitted.

The 15th we passed through the burning city of Atlanta and camped near our old position.

The morning of the 16th of November saw us enroute "to the sea."

The 22d the Second Brigade, numbering 1,819 muskets, with two pieces of artillery,

went to the support of a Division of Cavalry near Griswoldsville, a town ten miles east of

Macon. We drove the enemy into and beyond the town, then retired a short distance.

Here we were soon attacked by the enemy 9,000 strong according to their own report, whomwe severely defeated, he losing in killed, wounded and captured more than the number of

our entire Brigade. Our loss was three killed and two died of wounds; the loss of the

Brigade was 92 killed and wounded.

The morning of December 9 we crossed the Ogeechie River and by night the investment

of Savannah was completed. The 13th, Fort McAlister being captured, our "Cracker Line"

was open. After a week of desultory fighting the army evacuated and the 21st we marchedinto Savannah and occupied one of the numerous and beautiful parks, for which the city is

so justly celebrated, as city guard.

The Regiment participated in the campaign of the Carolinas. leaving Savannah about

the middle of January, 1865, going to Beaufort S. C, i'>a Thunder Bolt, where we remained

until the 27th. Crossed Broad River and on the 28th and 29th were on a reconnaisance toward

Charleston. Participated in all the skirmishes and battles in which the First Division of

the Fifteenth Corps was engaged.

Arrived at Goldsboro. N. C, the 22d of March and at Raleigh April 14th.

The 30th of April the Regimeni left Raleigh en route for Washington, passing through

Richmond on the 9th or 10th of May. and arrived at Alexandria the 19th or 20th. Being


partially refitted, we participated in the Grand Review at Washington on the 24th of May.and camped three or four miles north of the city.

Not being included in the list of the regiments to be mustered out. on the 31st of May wemarched to the freight depot of the B. and O. R. R., whose cars had been prepared for us,

and started for Louisville. Ky., via Parkersburg, W. Va., where we took boats down the OhioRiver, arriving the afternoon of the 4th of June at Louisville, and camping on Bear Grass

Creek.

The 14th of June the order tor our muster out was received per telegraph, and the 21st,

the necessary rolls having been prepared, we were mustered out of the service of the United

States by Major Dickey, U. S. A.—having been in the service two years, eight months and

twenty days. In that time we had seen service in all the Confederate States but two (Texas

and Florida), had been engaged in 24 battles, besides the sieges of Vicksburg, Jackson,

Atlanta and Savannah, and skirmishes without number. We were ordered to Chicago,

where we arrived June 24th, for final pay and discharge, which we received the 9th of July.
