 Eighth Infantry.--Cols., Adolphus J. Johnson, John Ramsey;
Lieut.-Cols., Thomas L. Martin, Joseph Trawin, William Ward,
John Willian, Henry Hartford; Majs., Peter M. Ryerson, William
A. Henry, George Hoffman, Virgil M. Healey, Louis M. Morris. 
This regiment was organized under the provisions of an act of
Congress, approved July 22, 1861, and was fully organized,
officered and equipped by Sept. 14, at which time it was
mustered into the service of the United States, for three
years, at Camp Olden, Trenton.  It left the state on Oct. 1,
with 38 officers, 851 non-commissioned officers and privates, a
total of 889.  Upon arrival at Washington it went into camp at
Meridian hill, and there remained until the early part of Dec.,
1861, when it was ordered to report to Gen. Joseph Hooker, near
Budd's ferry, Md., where the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th N. J.
regiments were brigaded and designated the 3d brigade of
Hooker's division, generally known as the 2nd New Jersey
brigade.  The regiment received its initiation into actual
warfare at the battle of Williamsburg, where with the 6th and
7th it was sent into a wood in front of a line of field-works. 
Among the killed in that battle was Maj. Ryerson, while among
the wounded were a large number of officers, including Col.
Johnson.  Gen. Hooker, in his report of the battle of Fair
Oaks, testified in the most emphatic terms to the gallantry of
the brigade and added that the service assigned to the 7th and
8th in the rear was performed to his entire satisfaction.  The
loss of the regiment at Fair Oaks or Seven Pines was 1 killed
and 6 wounded.  In the engagement at Bristoe Station Lieut.-
Col. Ward was wounded in the arm and side, and Capt. J. Tuite
was killed.  In the series of engagements ending at Chantilly
on Sept. 1, 1862, the regiment lost 25 men.  In the formation
of troops for the battle of Chancellorsville, the New Jersey
brigade, which at that time included the 2nd N. Y., 115th Pa.,
5th, 6th, 7th and 8th N. J., under command of Gen. Mott,
crossed the Rappahannock on May 1.  The 5th and 8th N. J. were
detached to guard the pontoons, while the others were picketed
along the Rappahannock to its junction with the Rapidan and
thence along that river to connect with pickets thrown out by
Carr's 1st N. Y. brigade.  Mott received instructions directing
Him to guard the ford, Seeley's battery being placed at his
disposal.  At 6 o'clock on the morning of May 3, the battle
opened with skirmishing on the left, and it soon extended along
the entire front, accompanied by a hot artillery fire from the
enemy, the first shot from the latter's guns killing 2 men of
the 8th.  At one period of the engagement, a section of
artillery belonging to Dimmick's regular battery, 1st
artillery, being in danger of capture, all the cannoneers and
horses having been killed, Gen. Mott despatched Capt. Nichols
with a detachment of the 8th to bring it off by hand.  The
battery was rescued, the gallant heroes of the 8th, with the
brave Capt. Nichols, bringing the guns safely into the lines. 
The losses of the regiment were 21 killed, 96 wounded and 10
missing, Col. Ramsey being among the wounded.  At the battle of
the Wilderness, the brigade was advanced to a position on the
Brock road, where breastworks were hastily thrown up, the 5th
and 8th N. J., under command of Col. Sewell, moving up the road
to its junction with what was known as the Furnace road, where
Sewell was placed in command of the skirmish line.  The total
losses of the regiment during the months of May and June, 1864,
amounted to 15 killed, 140 wounded and 25 missing.  In an
engagement on the north bank of James river on Aug. 16, the
regiment moved forward as a forlorn hope, the object being to
develop the enemy's strength, and under command of Col. Ramsey,
advanced steadily under a deadly cross-fire until it was found
that it would be impossible to reach the works, when the
command slowly retired.  At the battle of Hatcher's run all the
regiments of the brigade were behind breastworks, except the
8th, then commanded by Maj. Hartford, which was exposed to a
galling fire, but it stood nobly to its work.  The loss in the
brigade was 53, mainly in the 8th, owing to its exposed
position.  At the opening of the fight at Armstrong's house the
7th and 8th N. J. were on the right of the division.  Later in
the day Lieut.-Col. Schoonover's command was attacked and
driven from the works occupied in the morning, but the 7th and
8th going to his help, his line was reestablished and securely
held.  At Boydton plank road an assault was made by the 11th
and 8th N. J., with two other regiments, upon one of the
Confederate works, the men advancing through heavy slashings to
the crest of a hill overlooking the enemy's position, and
succeeding in occupying part of his rifle-pits.  On April 2 a
general attack on the enemy's line was ordered, and at 8
o'clock the 8th N. J., advancing on the immediate front in the
midst of a fire of musketry, shell and canister, captured the
entire picket line of the enemy--165 men and 200 muskets-
whereupon the 11th N. J. and 11th Mass. were advanced and a
charge was made on the main intrenchments of the Confederates,
resulting in the capture of further prisoners and the
occupation of the works.  On June 25, 1863, a large number of
the 8th reenlisted in the field, for three years or during the
war, and those who did not reenlist and whose term of service
had expired were mustered out at Trenton, Sept. 21, 1864. 
Those who remained were consolidated into the 8th battalion and
so remained until Oct. 12, 1864, at which time the 6th
battalion was joined to it by transfer.  The command then
resumed its regimental organization, which it continued until
the close of the war, the regiment being finally mustered out
at Washington, July 17, 1865.  The total strength of the
regiment was 2,795, and it lost, by resignation 35, by
promotion 56, by discharge 431, by transfer 336, by death 284,
by dismissal 4, by desertion 416, not accounted for 247,
mustered out, 986.

The seventy-sixth Illinois Volunteer Infantry was organized at Kankakee, Illinois, in August, 1862, by Colonel A. W. Mack, and was mustered in August 22d, 1862. Immediately after its muster it was ordered to Columbus, Kentucky, at which place it arrived August 29th, and soon after was armed with Enfield Rifle Muskets Remained at Columbus, drilling and doing fatigue and picket duty, until October 4th, when the Regiment was ordered to Bolivar, Tenn., by rail, at which place it arrived October 5th, and camped near the city until November 3d, when the Regiment with other troops was moved to La Grange, Tenn., and remained there until November 28th, when it was sent with General Grant on his campaign along the Mississippi Central Railroad; was at Holly Springs on the 29th and at Waterford on the 30th, doing its part in driving Price's army southwest.

The Fourth Division of the Thirteenth Army Corps, to which the Seventy-sixth belonged, remained near Waterford contending with fierce storms and fathomless mud until December 11th, when it continued its march southward, crossing the Tallahatchie River, passing through Abbyville and Oxford, and halting near Springdale, until December 22d, when the information was received that the Rebel General VanDorn had captured Holly Springs in the rear of the army and destroyed a large quantity of supplies and cut off all communication with the North.

The entire command was about faced and proceeded northward, living off the country and at times on extremely short rations. After several days slow marching and much speculation in the entire absence of northern news as to what was to become of the regiment and the army and the country, Holly Springs was entered on the 5th of January, 1863, at which place it remained until January 10th, witnessing many extensive conflagrations.

The Seventy-sixth was the last regiment leaving the city. It marched out about sunset, and the Rebels hovering around in the vicinity occupied the city immediately upon its exit. The Regiment arrived at Moscow on the evening of January 11th and remained there until February 5th, on full rations. At this place the Regiment received official information of the resignation of Col. Mack, who was at that time absent from the Regiment. Lieut. Col. Busey was soon after promoted to Colonel.

On February 5th, the camp of the Regiment was moved, through snow and mud, about ten miles, to the village of Lafayette, where it remained until March 10th, when after a three days' march it arrived at Memphis, Tenn., where it remained until May 13th, when it embarked with other troops on a fleet of steamers and moved down the Mississippi River. The steamer Fort Wayne carrying the Seventy-sixth, was fired into in the night by a band of Guerrillas from the Arkansas shore. Two men were wounded and the boat disabled. The Regiment landed in the morning and burned the buildings on the plantations in the vicinity. The disabled boat was towed down the river with the fleet to Young's Point, Louisiana, where it landed May 17th.

On the 18th the Regiment marched across the Point to the river below Vicksburg and embarked for Grand Gulf, and returned to Young's Point on the 29th and immediately embarked for Chicasaw Bayou, on the Yazoo River, at which place it debarked on the same day; was engaged in closing up the lines in the rear of Vicksburg until after the charge, when it was placed on the left of the besieging lines, and bravely held its place close under the Rebel guns until the final surrender July 4th. On the 5th of July the Regiment moved with Sherman's army against Jackson, Miss., skirmishing with the enemy at Big Black River and at Champion Hills. At Jackson the Rebels under Johnson made a stand and engaged our forces from the 12th to the 16th, the Seventy-sixth occupying the extreme right of the attacking forces.

On the morning of the 17th the city was found vacated by the Rebels and the Union troops occupied it immediately. The Regiment left Jackson July 21st and arrived at Vicksburg on the 23d, remaining there until August 11th, when it embarked and moved down the river to Natchez, landing there on the 12th. Remained there in camp until the latter part of November, when it was ordered back to Vicksburg, where it went into camp about eight miles from the city at Camp Cowan. Enjoyed life at this camp until January 31, 1864, then moved about three miles to Camp Hebron. On February 3d the Seventy-sixth started with General Sherman on his Meridian campaign and was on the move continually until March 4th, when the expedition returned and the Regiment rested at Camp Hebron until April 5th, when it moved to Big Black River Bridge, and was on duty there until April 27th, when it returned to Vicksburg and camped on the high hills surrounding the city.

On the 4th of May the Regiment accompanied an expedition, commanded by General McArthur, to Yazoo City, and participated in the battles of Benton, Vaughn's Station and Deasonville, and drove the enemy from Yazoo City, and occupied the place several days. On the night of May 17 a large portion of the city was burned. The Regiment returned to Vicksburg May 21, and occupied its camp on the hills until June 26, when it was moved to Mount Albans, on the railroad between Vicksburg and the Big Black River. On the 28th moved back to Vicksburg and camped near its old quarters. On July 1, 1864, the Regiment started on an expedition to Jackson, commanded by General Slocum. On its return the command was met between Jackson and Clinton by the enemy, and a sharp battle was fought on the 6th, and renewed on the 7th, when the Seventy-sixth, which bore a prominent part in the engagement, was cut off from the balance of the command, but cut its way out, losing one hundred and two men, sixteen of whom were reported killed and left on the field, and eighty-six wounded and missing. The Regiment returned to Vicksburg July 9, much fatigued. On July 29 the Regiment embarked, and was run down the river on a marine boat to Morganzia; landed there, and remained camped along the levee until August 23, when it was embarked and was transported down the river to Port Hudson; landed and marched, with five days' rations, in great haste, night and day, to Clinton, expecting to annihilate the enemy in that vicinity, but he fled before the Yankee hosts. The Regiment returned to Morganzia, arriving there August 29, foot-sore and weary.

On September 3 the Regiment embarked on the steamer Nebraska, and moved up the Mississippi River to the mouth of White River, landed and camped on the Arkansas shore, and remained until October 18, when it was ordered to Memphis, Tenn., but returned October 28, and occupied quarters there until November 7, when it embarked and moved up White River to Duvall's Bluff, Arkansas, where it built neat log cabins, and fixed to stay; but, in obedience to orders, it broke up its pleasant camp on the 28th , embarked, and was landed at Memphis, Tenn., on the 30th, and camped on the environs of the city; remained there until December 31, 1864, and was then ordered to embark on the steamer Niagara for New Orleans, at which place it arrived January 4, 1865, and went into camp a few miles above the city, at Kenner, behind the levee, where the mud was almost fathomless. Remained there until February 12, when the Regiment was ordered to embark on Gulf steamers and proceed across the Gulf to Mobile Point. The Regiment was divided, and carried on three different crafts. The George Peabody carried the Regimental Headquarters, with four companies of the Seventy-sixth, and parts of other regiments, and a large number of horses, mules and wagons. A terrible storm on the Gulf nearly wrecked the craft. The horses, mules and wagons were consigned to the deep, and the boat was barely gotten back to the Mississippi River with its human freight. Went back to New Orleans, crossed over to Lake Pontchartrain, embarked on the steamer Alice Vivian, and moved by the lakes to Fort Morgan, and from there to Fort Barrancas, near Pensacola, Florida, where the Regiment was again united, February 18, and went into camp, and remained there until March 11, when the camp was moved to Pensacola. On March 20, the Regiment started with General Steel's expedition to Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely, near Mobile Alabama. Traveled through pine swamps, corduroying the quicksand roads as it moved along, and fighting the enemy in front, until April 1, when the Army approached Blakely, and on the 2nd drove the enemy inside his fortifications. General Steel's forces united with General Canby's and General Granger's, from Fort Morgan. On April 8 Spanish Fort was captured, and April 9 the Seventy-sixth participated in the charge on Fort Blakely, capturing the entire garrison. The colors of the Seventy-sixth were the first planted on the enemy's works. The Regiment lost in this, the last battle of the war, seventeen killed and eighty-one wounded. Among the latter was the colonel of the Regiment, who was painfully wounded while gallantly leading his men in the assault.

The Regiment camped inside the fortifications until April 20, when it was transported to Mobile. On the 22d of April the regiment accompanied a fleet of steamers, loaded with soldiers, up the Alabama River, General Steel in command; landed at Selma, Alabama, April 28; remained there until May 11, and was then ordered back to Mobile, and camped near the city. Remained there doing duty until the latter part of June, when it was ordered to Galveston, Texas, where it remained until July 22, and was then mustered out, and ordered to Chicago, Illinois, where it was paid off and disbanded August 4, 1865.

The Regiment had traveled over ten thousand miles. Received one hundred and fifty-six recruits, who were transferred, on its muster out, to the Thirty-seventh Illinois Infantry. The Regiment's commanders were: Colonel Alonzo W. Mack- Mustered in August 22, 1862. Resigned January 7, 1863 Colonel Samuel T. Busey - Mustered in August 22, 1862. Promoted May 11, 1863 The Regiment's size of approximately 1000 men was comprised of the following organizations: Regimental Headquarters - Field and Staff Ten Companies: Company A, Company B, Company C, Company D, Company E, Company F, Company G, Company H, Company I, Company K, and Unassigned Recruits.
