574 ADJUTANT general's REPORT.

HISTORY OF THIRTY-FIRST INFANTRY.

The Thirty-first Regiment o£ Illinois Infantry, except Companies I and K,was mainly composed of men from the southern part of the State, the coun-ties of Williamson, Perry, Franklin, Jackson, Johnson, Saline and Unionfurnishing the laiger number. Its rendezvous was Camp Dunlap, Jackson-ville, Illinois; but it was organized at Cairo by John A. Logan, and wasthere mustered into the service by Captain Pitcher, U. S. A., on the 18th ofSeptember, 1861, and went into camp of instruction in the Brigade of GeneralMcClernand.

With less than two months' drill, the Regiment took part in the battle ofBelmont, Mo., November 7, 1861, cutting its way into the enemy's camp, andwith equal valor, but less hazard, cutting its way out again. On the 7th ofFebruary, 1862, the Regiment was at Fort Henry, Tenn.; and after emergingfrom the muddy environments of that stronghold, it traversed the hills ofFort Donelson, and there, amid winter snows, on the 15th of the same month,it lost 260 men killed and wounded—the Regiment having performed, in this

engagement the difficult evolution of a change of front to rear on tenth com-pany, in the heat of the battle, among tangled brush and on uneven ground.From Donelson'the Regiment was transported by steamer to Shiloh, Tenn.,and thence it moved towards Corinth, Miss., with the main body of the army,and reached that place only to find it evacuated by the enemy. From Corinththe Thirty-first marched to Jackson, Tenn., and the summer of 1862 wasspent in guarding railroads, skirmishing in the country of the Forked DeerRiver, and scouting in the direction of Memphis, to Brownsville and beyond.Ordered to the support of Gen. Rosecrans, at Corinth, the Regiment reachedthat place in time to follow the retreating foe to Ripley, Miss., where the menfed on fresh pork, without salt, or crackers, or coffee. On this expedition it

was engaged in the skirmishes of Chewalla and Tuscumbia, ending the 6th ofOctober, 1862. The Regiment was with Grant in the first campaign againstVicksburg, sometimes called the Yokona expedition, and passed throughHolly Springs to Coldwater, at which place the men, destitute of rations inconsequence of the capture and destruction of supplies at Holly Springs bythe enemy, showed their characteristic adaptability by carrying out at oncethe suggestion of Logan to convert the timber into ashes, and, by means ofthe ashes, the corn of the surrounding country into hominy.

Upon the termination of this campaign the regiment, with the army underGrant, was transferred to a new field, that of the operations which finally re-

sulted in the downfall of Vicksburg. On the 15th of January, 1863, it set outfor Lagrange, Tenn., and thence went to Memphis, by way of Colliersville.Leaving Memphis March 10, 1863, it embarked for Lake Providence, La.

;

and after assisting in the attempts to open a route by water to a point belowVicksburg, it moved, upon the abandonment of these attempts, to Milliken'sBend, and thence to Wanesborough. Having crossed the Mississippi belowGrand Gulf, April 30, 1863, the next day the Regiment, without waiting forrations, though hungry and weary enough, hurried forward to the support ofthe comrades then engaged in battle at Thompson's Hill, near Port Gibson,and quickly forming on McClernand's left, under the eyes of Generals Grantand Logan, it moved upon the right wing of the enemy at the charge step,routing him completely, and helping to secure a speedy victory.

THIRTY-FIRST INFANTRY. 575

Yates, in civilian garb of swallow-tail coat and high shirt collar, and over-flowing with enthusiasm and patriotism, witnessed this charge. After cross-ing the Bayou Pierre, the men of the Thirty-tirst again met and dispersedtheir foes at Ingram Heights, May 3, 1863, and pushed on to Raymond, whereon the 12th the Regiment hurled from its front the fragments of a brigadewhich the enemy had thrown against the advance of Grant. Moving onward,in almost ceaseless march, it took part in the battle of Jackson, Miss,, May,14, 1863, and thence at midnight, on the 15th, through drenching rain, it

marched toward Vicksburg, to meet the enemy anew. About ten o'clock inthe morning of the 16th the men spread their cartridges to dry in the sun, inan old field about five miles from Champion Hills, from which latter pointwas soon after heard the sound of battle. The men hastily gathered up theirammunition and seized their muskets, and the Regiment followed the head ofthe column at double-quick, effecting a formation with its brigade on theright of our embattled line, where it rested for a moment, the men lying ontheir faces while the hostile shells whistled and shrieked and exploded abovethem. At the command "attention" the line stood erect, with bayonetsfixed; the Brigade-commander, General John E. Smith, gave the word; Mc-Pherson said with a smile, "give 'em Jesse!" and Logan shouted "rememberthe blood of 5'our mammies! give 'em hell!" and then the brigade sprangforward, broke and routed the two column formation over which waved theConfederate fiag, captured the opposing battery, turned its guns upon the re-treating enemy, and took as many prisoners as there were men in the charg-ing brigade. In this encounter there was crossing of bayonets and fightinghand to hand. Sergeant Wick, of Company B, used his bayonet upon hisfoe, and Sergeant Hendrickson, of Company C, clubbed his musket in a duel-with one of the men in gray.

From this point the Regiment, with the main army, followed the retreatingenemy to his entrenched lines at Vicksburg, where it took part in the bloodyassaults of the 19th and 22d of May; its gallant Lieutenant Colonel, Reece,meeting death by the explosion of a grenade while planting the RegimentalColors upon the ramparts. Here the flag received 153 bullets, and the staff

was shot asunder in four places.

During the seige the Regiment took a prominent part in the operationsagainst Fort Hill; and when the Fort was blown up, on the 25th of June, bythe explosion of a mine beneath it, there came a time that tested the stuff themen were made of. Here in the night, in that crater remembered as the"slaughter pen," the soldiers fighting by reliefs, and within an armslengthof the enemy—some had their muskets snatched from their hands—under ashower of grenades and of shells lighted by port-fires, while the voices ofPearson, Goddard, Mooningham and others, rising at times above the terrific

din of combat, cheered on their men—were deeds of valor performed whichwould adorn the heroic page.

On the morning of July 4, 1863, the place of honor having been assigned tothe Brigade, the Thirty-first Regiment marched proudly across the rents andchasms of Fort Hill into Vicksburg.

Having made the expedition to Monroe, La., under General Stephenson,the Regiment went into camp at Black River, Miss., the scene of Lawler'ssplendid victory, and here, on the 5th of January, 1864, three-fourths of themen again enlisted in the service. That night the men, formed in line, withlighted candles held in the shanks of their bayonets, marched to the quartersof General Force, commanding the Brigade, who appeared before his tentand catching the splendor from the candles full in his face, cried out withenthusiasm, "Three cheers for the Thirty-first!" But the "boys" were notgoing to cheer for themselves and there were no others present to do it, sothey stood in their ranks, silent and with military air, and cheered not norstirred; whereupon the General shouted, "Cheer yourselves, boys! hip! hip!"and then tbe cheers were given with a will, followed by a "tiger" for theUnion, and three groans for the Confederacy.

The Regiment was with General Sherman in the campaign against Meridi-an, Miss., after which the re-enlisted men—the "Veterans"—took their fur-loughs, starting for home the 19th of March, 1864. Having returned to the

front, by way of Cairo, the Regiment camped from the 6th to the 15th ofMay at Clinton, on the Tennessee River, and thence ma,rching by way ofRome, Ga., sometimes collecting', herding and driving beef-cattle, and some-times skirmishing with the enemy, it joined Sherman's army at AekworthStation. It was in the skirmish at Big Shanty, and at Brush Mountain—theassault upon Kenesaw on June 27, 1864; also in the battles around Atlanta,on the 21st, 22d and 28th of July, of which that on the 22d was the most ter-

rible, the men fighting sometimes on one side of the earthworks, sometimeson the other. The Regiment was also engaged in the battles of Lovejoy Sta-tion and Jonesborough, and was with Sherman in the mock pursuit of'Hoodupon his invasion of Tennessee. Retracing its steps, the Regiment reachedAtlanta on the Thirteenth of November, and on the 15th it there began withSherman the triumphant march to the sea, and on it marched, with that mag-nificent army, cutting roads through tangled forests, bridging streams for thepassage of the troops, tearing up railroad-tracks, twisting the rails "ascrooked as rams' horns," "discovering" and devouring sweet potatoes andother provender, surging over the country "from Atlanta to the sea,""shouting the battle cry of freedom," and proceeding by way of Millen, it

arrived the lOrh of December, 1864, at Savannah. Here the Regiment wentinto camp on the rice plantation of Dr. Owen, where the rfce was consumedfor food, the husks being first beaten off by means of wooden mortars andpestles appropriated from the slave quarters near by. One of the incidentsof the day was the encountering of a battery mounted on a flat car, pushedalong the railroad by a locomotive.

On the 4th of January, 1865, the Thirty-first Dade farewell to Savannah, andshipped on the steamer Harvest Moon, and after the novel experience andsights of a sea voyage, disembarked at Beaufort, S. C, where it remained,enjoying the luxury of fresh oysters at low prices, until the 13th. To this

succeeded some skirmishing at Fort Pocotaligo—"Poke-'em-till-they-go," asthe men called it—which was evacuated by the enemy. On the 30th of Jan-uary the march began through the Carolinas, by way of Salkahatchie, Orange-burg—which was captured, after some fighting by the Regiment's skirm-ishers,—Columbia—scourged by destroying flames—Winsborough, Cheraw,Fayetteville—captured by foragers—and Bentonville—scenes of the last greatstruggle of Johnston's army, and the Regiment came out of the swamps, outof the pine forests, "out of the wilderness," the men ragged, dirty, many ofthem barefooted, to Goldsborough, N. C, where it arrived the 24th of March,1865, and where letters from home and news from the world were received.These and the prospects of the nearing of the end were cheering and refresh-ing to the men who for 54 days had been without communication with homeor the world, and were weary with long marching and fighting.

On the 14th of April, 1865, the Regiment was with the army at Releigh, N.C. Signs of the ruin of the Confederacy and the dispersion of its armedforces were apparent on every hand. Soon came the surrender of Johnson'sarmy—the only force which could oppose the onward march of the Uniontroops to Richmond, and the Regiment formed a part of the host to whichthat army surrendered.

On the 9th of May the Regiment was at Richmond, on the 19th at Alex-andria; and on the 24th of May, with faded and tattered uniforms, but withmartial step and bearing, in column of company, eyes front, it marchedthrough the principal avenues of the capital, in that graud review of the re-turning armies in presence of the great leaders, civil and military, of the re-public—the most magnificent and imposing spectacle ever witnessed by thecity of Washington. The end had been attained!

Soon afterwards the Regiment was moved to Louisville, Ky., arriving atthat place on 11th of June, where it was assignel to provost-guard dut3^ Onthe 19th of July, 1865, it was mustered out of the service, by Lieutenant Aug.P. Noyes, A. C. M., 3d Division 17th Corps. It was then moved to Spring-field, ill., where it arrived on the 23d of July, 1865; and there on the 31st ofthe same month, the men received their final discharge, and separated fortheir homes—those who were left of them.

At the time of the discharge there were present 25 officers and 677 enlisted

men. When first organized the Regiment numbered 1,130 men. It had re-cruited 700. The casualties, including men discharged before final muster-out, amounted to 1,128. In the course of its existence the Regiment had beencommanded by four Colonels, and had had five Lieutenant-Colonels and sixMajors. Of the 25 ofiicers discharged at the final muster-out, all save thechaplain had risen from the ranks.

In the campaigns of Sherman this Regiment had marched 2,076 miles. Thispart of its history is included in that of the Brigade to which it belonged—the1st Brigade, 3d Division, 17th Corps, Army of Tennessee. The Regimentmarched 2000 miles under Grant, and on expeditions other than those of Sher-man. It served in the hostile States of Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missis-sippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and Vir-ginia. Before January 1, 1863, the history of the Regiment is comprised inthat of the 1st Brigade, 3d Division, Reserve Army of Tennessee.

Always efiiciently commanded, and evincing; soldierly qualities in its first

battle, the Regiment became in the days of its "veteran" existence, one ofthe best drilled in the service. It was, while encamped at Black River, Miss.,after the Vicksburg cauapaigns, that the Regiment, under the skillful man-agement of Lieutenant Colonel Pearson, attained that high degree of dis-

cipiline and proficiency in drill for which it became known,and towards whichit had been directed, under Logan and White, in the earlier days of the war;The latter fell at Donelson and deserved the title "The bravest of the brave."

Colonel Pearson had seen service under General Prentiss before the organ-ization of this Regiment, and early showed an aptitude for tactics and drill

which made him a favorite with the field and staff, while his soldierly qual-ities displayed at Henry and Donelson endeared him to the rank and file.

Hence he rapidly rose from the ranks, being promoted to Commissary Ser-gernt March 1, 1862; to Adjutant, May 16, 1862; to Major, February 4, 1863,by the unanimous vote of the officers; to Lieutenant Colonel July 1, 1863; andto Colonel September 26, 1864. On the 13th of March, 1865, he was brevetedBrigadier General of Volunteers, for gallantry during the war.

Many of the officers and soldiers of the Regiment deserve special mentionand lasting remembrance, but the space allotted forbids a more extended ac-count. To some of the men were awarded medals for gallantry; among themSergeant George W. White, of Company C, who, severely wounded in thebattle of Atlanta, July 22, 1864, resolutely and presistently refused to be car-ried to the rear.

The fighting qualities of this Regiment were displayed in 14 battles and 25skirmishes, of various degrees of importance. It witnessed the surrender ofBuckner and the garrison at Donelson, the capitulation of Pemberton and hisarmy at Vicksburg, the humiliation of Johnson and his force at Bentonville,and their final surrender near Raleigh. And a brilliant gem in its crown ofglory is the fact of its organization as a "veteran" Regiment, at a time whenthe Union cause stood so much in need of trained and tried soldiers to com-plete the overthrow of armed rebellion, and to establish upon the ruins ofanarchy and slavery "a government of the people, by the people, for thepeople."
