11th Wisconsin Infantry

Regimental History

Eleventh Infantry. — Col., Charles L. Harris; Lieut. -Cols., Charles A. Wood, Luther H. Whittlesey; Majs., Arthur Piatt, Jesse S. Miller, Otis Remick. This regiment was organized at Camp Randall, Madison, and was mustered in Oct. 18, 1862, with a numerical strength of 1,029. It left the state Nov. 20, and performed railroad guard duty until spring, when it was sent further south. It was in a skirmish with the enemy at Bayou Cache, Ark., and was then on duty along the river until the spring of 1863, when it was sent to take part in the siege of Vicksburg. The regiment took part in the battle of Port Gibson and received a special compliment from Col. Stone, brigade commander, for its splendid work. It was engaged at Champion's hill, and at the Big Black river, led the charge which carried the enemy's works, and captured several hundred prisoners. At Vicksburg its loss was heavy, the regiment occupying open ground which was swept by Confederate bullets. Several months were then spent in arduous though uneventful campaigning, but the regiment received Maj.-Gen. Dana's compliments in an order "for the perfection of instruction discovered in picket and guard lines." Over three-fourths of the 11th reenlisted as a veteran organization and after a brief visit home it was sent on an invasion of western Tennessee and northern Mississippi, engaging Forrest's cavalry en route. It was given outpost duty at Brashear City, Co. D being detached to Bayou Louis and Co. E to Tigerville. Continued skirmishes with Confederate cavalry, as well as scattered bodies of infantry, prevented the massing of Confederate troops, and the smuggling trade was broken up. At Fort Blakely, Ala., its last engagement, the regiment held the record of 4 years by conspicuous work, being among the first to plant its colors on the enemy's parapet in the face of a murderous fire. It was mustered out at Mobile Sept. 4, 1865. Its original strength was 1,029. Gain by recruits 364; substitutes, 62; drafts, 147; veteran reenlistments, 363; total 1,965. Losses by death, 348; desertion, 25; transfer, 9; discharge, 31 ; mustered out, 1,264.

SIXTY-SECOND, SIXTY-THIRD
AND SIXTY-FIFTH REGIMENTS

There were about nine regiments and three battalions of 
reserves, composed for the most part of very young men, about 
two regiments being made up of old men, and they were organized 
principally for the defense of Mobile and the bay forts.

Some of these were, in 1864, consolidated under the command of 
Col. Daniel Huger, of the First reserve regiment, and the new 
regiment was known as the Sixty-second Alabama.

Others, under Col. Olin F Rice, of the Second reserve regiment, 
were known as the Sixty-third.  The First battalion, also 
called the Fourth reserve regiment, was consolidated with the 
Third and Fourth battalions under Lieut.-Col. E. M. Underhill, 
and called the Sixty-fifth Alabama; it was employed mainly in 
the defenses of Mobile, though a detachment was sent to 
Montgomery in April, 1865, and retired before Wilson's army to 
Girard, where it fought with severe loss and was captured.

The Sixty-second and Sixty-third fought in General Thomas' 
brigade at Fort Gaines and Spanish Fort, losing a large number 
in killed and wounded.  Relieved at Spanish Fort by Holtzclaw's 
brigade, they were sent to Blakely, where, after enduring the 
privations and perils of the siege of Blakely, they were 
captured, and were exchanged a few days before the final 
surrender of the department of the Gulf.

Captain Johnson, of the Sixty-third, was killed, and Captain 
Ward, of the Sixty second, wounded, at Spanish Fort.  Capt. J 
W. Pitts, who assisted in the defense of Talladega during 
Rousseau's raid, became major of the Sixty-second.  This 
regiment, composed wholly of young men, was especially 
complimented by General Liddell for gallant conduct at Spanish 
Fort.
