 The Fifty-sixth Illinois Infantry[1] was mustered into service February 27, 1862 at Camp Mather near Shawneetown in Gallatin County. The men volunteered from the most southern counties of Illinois—Company A-Massac County, Company B-White County, Company C-Hamilton and White counties, Company D-Gallatin, White and Saline counties, Company E-Saline and Williamson counties, Company F-Hamilton and Wabash counties, Company H-Gallatin and Saline Counties, Company I-Franklin and Williamson counties and Company K-Saline and Pope counties. Grant immediately ordered the Regiment to garrison duty at Paducah, Kentucky. In April the Regiment moved by steamboat up the Tennessee River to Hamburg Landing and marched to join the siege of Corinth, Mississippi. Following the rebels abandonment of Corinth, The Regiment joined in the pursuit of Beauregard’s army to Booneville, Mississippi and remained in northern Mississippi during the summer. In October Confederate forces attacked Corinth and the Fifty-sixth with the Tenth Missouri drove the rebels from their works and repulsed rebel reinforcements. During the winter of 1862 the Regiment campaigned in central Mississippi and escorted wagons and supplies to Memphis in December. In the spring of 1863 the Fifty-sixth was ordered to Vicksburg going through the Yazoo Pass and joining Grant’s army at Young’s Point and moving south to occupy Grand Gulf, Mississippi in May. They fought at Champion Hills and at the siege of Vicksburg in May and on June 25 were sent to Fort Hill, occupying the crater, a portion of the night, and lost heavily in both killed and wounded. After the fall of Vicksburg, they moved to Helena, Arkansas then to Memphis and finally to Chattanooga where they remained until the end of November. On November 23 they crossed the Tennessee River and attacked the rebels right flank at Missionary Ridge; the next three days the Regiment sustained heavy losses. Following the battle the Fifty-sixth garrisoned Whitesburg, Alabama on the Tennessee River. May 1864 the Regiment joined Sherman’s Atlanta campaign and through November guarded the line of communication and railroads at the rear of the army. During this time the Regiment was reinforced with a new Company I (composed of veterans from the Thirteenth Illinois Infantry) and a newly organized Company D. In mid October Confederate General Hood attacked Resaca, Georgia and the Fifty-sixth with other regiments defended the city against five times their number. On the “March to the sea” the men saw action at Savannah, Georgia, Salkehatchie Swamp, South Edisto River, and Columbia South Carolina and Bentonville and Goldsboro, North Carolina. On March 25, 1865 two hundred and five men of the Regiment boarded the US General Lyon for the trip to Fortress Monroe. On March 27 in a storm off of Cape Hatteras fire erupted in the engine room and only 29 survivors were rescued including just 5 men from the 56th Illinois Infantry.[2] Following the surrender of Johnston the Fifty-sixth marched to Washington DC for the Grand Review on May 24. The Regiment mustered out at Little Rock Arkansas on August 12, 1865.[3

The Sixty-first Infantry Illinois Volunteers was organized at Carrollton, Illinois, by Colonel Jacob Fry. Three full companies were mustered February 5, 1862. February 21, the Regiment, being still incomplete, moved to Benton Barracks, Missouri. Here a sufficient number of recruits joined to make nine full companies.

March 26, 1862, embarked for Pittsburg Landing. On arriving, March 30, were assigned to Brigade of Colonel Madison Miller, Eighteenth Missouri, Division of Brigadier General B. M. Prentiss.

April 6, 400 men were formed in line, in time to receive the first assault of the enemy, and stood their ground for an hour and a quarter, and until every other Regiment in the division had given way, and were then ordered to fall back. Upon retiring from this position, the Regiment was complimented by General Prentiss for its gallant stand. It was then ordered to support a battery of the first Missouri Artillery, and at one o'clock P. M. ordered to the support of General Hurlbut--coming to his support at a very critical moment, and maintaining his line until relieved by a fresh Regiment, and when its ammunition was entirely exhausted. When the second line was broken, the Regiment retired in good order and took a position supporting the siege guns.

April 7, was in reserve. Loss, 80 killed, wounded and missing, including 3 commissioned officers.

April 18, was assigned to First Brigade, Third Division, Colonel L. F. Ross, Seventeenth Illinois, commanding Brigade.

April 28, Major Ohr took command of the Regiment, Colonel Fry being absent.

June 6, moved to Bethel, Tennessee, Colonel Haynie, Forty-eighth Illinois, taking command of Brigade. 16th, moved to Jackson. 17th, was in Ross' Brigade of Logan's (First) Division, and moved to Bolivar, Tennessee.

September 16, 1862, moved, via Jackson and Corinth, to Brownsville, Mississippi, on Memphis and Corinth Railroad. Returned to Bolivar, after the battle of Iuka, September 25.

October 10, Brigadier General M. Brayman was assigned to the Brigade, and Colonel Fry to command of post at Trenton, where, on the 20th of December, he was taken prisoner by General Forrest and paroled. The Brigade remained at Bolivar, General Brayman commanding post.

December 18, 1862, 240 men of the Regiment proceeded, by rail, to Jackson, and, moving out the Lexington road, under command of Colonel Engleman, with Forty-third Illinois and a detachment of cavalry took position at Salem Cemetery, and on the morning of 19th repulsed the enemy under Forrest, with three pieces of artillery, and on receiving reinforcements from General Sullivan, pursued the enemy some distance; after which, returned to Bolivar.

May 31, the Regiment being in the Sixteenth Army Corps, moved, via rail, to Memphis, and embarked for Vicksburg. June 3, arrived at Chickasaw Bayou, 4th, accompanied expedition up Yazoo River, landing at Satartia. Moved four miles out to Mechanicsburg, capturing some prisoners, 6th, moved to Haines' Bluff.

Moved, via Clarendon, Duvall's Bluff, Brownsville, to Little Rock, skirmishing some with the enemy after leaving Brownsville, and arriving at Little Rock September 10, Remained at Little Rock.

The Regiment remained in Arkansas until August 14, 1864, being stationed most of the time at Little Rock and Duvall's Bluff. It did its full share of the hard, fatiguing and generally profitless marching that the troops composing that department made during that period, It participated in the combat at Clarendon, on the White River, June 26, 1864, which resulted in raising the Blockade of that river made by the rebel general, Joe Shelby. In the early part of the year 1864, enough of the men re-enlisted as Veterans to enable the Regiment to retain its organization as a Veteran Regiment. March 20, 1864, Company K joined the Regiment from Camp Butler, Illinois.

August 14, 1864, the Regiment started to Illinois, on veteran furlough, leaving Company K and the recruits and non-veterans in Camp at Duvall's Bluff, Arkansas. On the expiration of its veteran furlough, the regiment rendezvoused at Springfield, Illinois. It went from there to St. Louis. Owing to the pending invasion of Missouri by the rebels under General Price, the Regiment was halted at St. Louis, Companies B, D and G were detached from the Regiment and sent to Chester, Illinois, to guard the crossing of the river at that point. They remained there until October 14, when they joined the Regiment at St. Louis. The entire Regiment was then sent to Mexico on the North Missouri railroad, in the northeastern part of the State, and during the balance of that month was engaged in a series of hard marches after a gang of rebels who were operating in that part of the State, and finally chased them across the Missouri River and dispersed them. The Regiment then returned to St. Louis, and on November 6 left by steamer for Paducah, Kentucky, arriving there November 11. Left Paducah November 24. Went by steamer to Nashville, Tennessee, from thence on November 28, by rail to Murfreesboro, Tennessee. December 4, was engaged in the combat of Overall's Creek, three miles from Murfreesboro.

In addition to the casualties sustained by the Regiment in this action among the rank and file, Lieutenant Elijah B. Corrington, of Company F, a most excellent officer, was instantly killed, being struck by a musket ball in the breast.

December 7, the Regiment was engaged in the battle of Wilkinson's Pike, or the "Cedars," near Murfreesboro. It signalized itself by a gallant charge over the enemy's rail, and dirt breast works, capturing the colors of a Florida Regiment and a number of prisoners. Out of about 200 men engaged, the Sixty-first lost in killed and wounded about thirty in this affair.

December 12, the Regiment, numbering then about 175, with a small squad of dismounted cavalry, and one company of the First Michigan Engineers, was sent as escort of a train of cars destined to Stephenson, Alabama, and returned with rations for the troops at Murfreesboro. On the return, about 2 o'clock on the morning of December 15, about 8 miles out of Murfreesboro, the Regiment was attacked by an overwhelming force of rebels, under the command of Forrest. The rebel force aggregated fully 1,500 infantry and cavalry, and was also provided with a battery of artillery. They surrounded the train and tore up the track in front and rear to prevent escape, and opened up a galling fire of musketry and artillery. The train guard, numbering all told about 225 muskets, held the train until about 8 A. M., in the hope of reinforcements reaching them from Murfreesboro, but at that hour there being no sign of help, and their cartridges nearly exhausted, they abandoned the train, and cut their way out. Lieutenant Colonel Grass, commanding the Regiment, was captured, and over half the Regiment was killed, wounded and taken prisoners - Among others killed was Lieutenant Lorenzo J. Miner, of Company B, a most admirable young officer.

Major J. B. Nulton, who had successfully led the left wing of the Regiment through the rebel lines, reached a block house, about one-half of a mile north of the abandoned train, halted his command and upon being reinforced with a battery of artillery from Murfreesboro, marched back and recaptured the train, in time to prevent its destruction. Several regiments of infantry, under the command of Gen. Milroy, reached the scene of action soon thereafter and the enemy was put to flight; after which the road was repaired and the train, loaded with provisions, safely run into Murfreesboro.

This was the last severe action in which the Regiment was engaged. February 4, 1865, the non-veterans and recruits rejoined the Regiment from Duvalls Bluff, Arkansas.

March 21 the Regiment, under orders from Gen. Rosseau, moved to Franklin, Tennessee, and Maj. J. B. Nulton assumed command of the Post and Captain Daniel S. Keeley took command of the Regiment.

In the latter part of June, the recruits of the Eighty-third, Ninety-eighth and One Hundred Twenty-third Illinois infantry were transferred to the Sixty-first, filling its ranks nearly to the maximum, and Major J. B. Nulton was promoted to the rank of Colonel and Captain Daniel S. Keeley to that of Major.

While at Franklin, Tennessee, Col. Nulton, under orders from Gen. George H. Thomas, proceeded with a detachment of the Sixty-first Illinois to Hickman county, Tennessee, where he negotiated terms and received the surrender of the noted Duvall McNairy, together with his command numbering about one hundred fifty men rank and file.

September 8, 1865, the Regiment was mustered out at Nashville, Tennessee, and started home.

On September 27, 1865, at Camp Butler, near Springfield, Illinois, the boys received their final payment and discharge and "broke ranks" forever.

The Sixty-first Infantry Illinois Volunteers was organized at Carrollton, Illinois, by Colonel Jacob Fry. Three full companies were mustered February 5, 1862. February 21, the Regiment, being still incomplete, moved to Benton Barracks, Missouri. Here a sufficient number of recruits joined to make nine full companies.

March 26, 1862, embarked for Pittsburg Landing. On arriving, March 30, were assigned to Brigade of Colonel Madison Miller, Eighteenth Missouri, Division of Brigadier General B. M. Prentiss.

April 6, 400 men were formed in line, in time to receive the first assault of the enemy, and stood their ground for an hour and a quarter, and until every other Regiment in the division had given way, and were then ordered to fall back. Upon retiring from this position, the Regiment was complimented by General Prentiss for its gallant stand. It was then ordered to support a battery of the first Missouri Artillery, and at one o'clock P. M. ordered to the support of General Hurlbut--coming to his support at a very critical moment, and maintaining his line until relieved by a fresh Regiment, and when its ammunition was entirely exhausted. When the second line was broken, the Regiment retired in good order and took a position supporting the siege guns.

April 7, was in reserve. Loss, 80 killed, wounded and missing, including 3 commissioned officers.

April 18, was assigned to First Brigade, Third Division, Colonel L. F. Ross, Seventeenth Illinois, commanding Brigade.

December 18, 1862, 240 men of the Regiment proceeded, by rail, to Jackson, and, moving out the Lexington road, under command of Colonel Engleman, with Forty-third Illinois and a detachment of cavalry took position at Salem Cemetery, and on the morning of 19th repulsed the enemy under Forrest, with three pieces of artillery, and on receiving reinforcements from General Sullivan, pursued the enemy some distance; after which, returned to Bolivar.

The Regiment remained in Arkansas until August 14, 1864, being stationed most of the time at Little Rock and Duvall's Bluff. It did its full share of the hard, fatiguing and generally profitless marching that the troops composing that department made during that period, It participated in the combat at Clarendon, on the White River, June 26, 1864, which resulted in raising the Blockade of that river made by the rebel general, Joe Shelby. In the early part of the year 1864, enough of the men re-enlisted as Veterans to enable the Regiment to retain its organization as a Veteran Regiment. March 20, 1864, Company K joined the Regiment from Camp Butler, Illinois.

August 14, 1864, the Regiment started to Illinois, on veteran furlough, leaving Company K and the recruits and non-veterans in Camp at Duvall's Bluff, Arkansas. On the expiration of its veteran furlough, the regiment rendezvoused at Springfield, Illinois. It went from there to St. Louis. Owing to the pending invasion of Missouri by the rebels under General Price, the Regiment was halted at St. Louis, Companies B, D and G were detached from the Regiment and sent to Chester, Illinois, to guard the crossing of the river at that point. They remained there until October 14, when they joined the Regiment at St. Louis. The entire Regiment was then sent to Mexico on the North Missouri railroad, in the northeastern part of the State, and during the balance of that month was engaged in a series of hard marches after a gang of rebels who were operating in that part of the State, and finally chased them across the Missouri River and dispersed them. The Regiment then returned to St. Louis, and on November 6 left by steamer for Paducah, Kentucky, arriving there November 11. Left Paducah November 24. Went by steamer to Nashville, Tennessee, from thence on November 28, by rail to Murfreesboro, Tennessee. December 4, was engaged in the combat of Overall's Creek, three miles from Murfreesboro.

In addition to the casualties sustained by the Regiment in this action among the rank and file, Lieutenant Elijah B. Corrington, of Company F, a most excellent officer, was instantly killed, being struck by a musket ball in the breast.

December 7, the Regiment was engaged in the battle of Wilkinson's Pike, or the "Cedars," near Murfreesboro. It signalized itself by a gallant charge over the enemy's rail, and dirt breast works, capturing the colors of a Florida Regiment and a number of prisoners. Out of about 200 men engaged, the Sixty-first lost in killed and wounded about thirty in this affair.

The men of this Regiment volunteered from: Companies A, Knox County, Company B-Putnam County, Company C-Woodford County, Company D-Marshall County, Company E-Peoria County, Company F-Peoria and Woodford counties, Company G-Peoria County, Company H-Woodford, Tazewell and Peoria counties, Company I-Peoria County and Company K-Peoria County. The Regiment was ordered to Cincinnati on October 4 and went into camp across the Ohio River at Covington, Kentucky. In November the Regiment marched south through Lexington to take possession of Richmond, Kentucky. Two weeks later they were ordered to Louisville and transported downriver to Memphis. December 20 they were transported further down the Mississippi River to the Yazoo River and up the Yazoo about ten miles where they disembarked and soon met the enemy guarding the rear of Vicksburg. After several days of skirmishing, the enemy works could not be carried and on January 2, 1863 the Union troops withdrew to Milliken’s Bend upriver on the Louisiana shore. On January 5, the Seventy-seventh sailed back up the Mississippi River to the White River and up the White River to the cutoff to the Arkansas River to Fort Hindman at Arkansas Post. Here on January 10 and 11 they met and defeated the enemy forces and planted the flag of the Seventy-seventh on the parapet.[2] Following the battle the Regiment returned to Young’s Point and remained there until March when they moved to Milliken’s Bend. In April the army marched to New Carthage crossed the Mississippi River at Bruinsburg and moved toward Port Gibson. A fight ensued on the march to Port Gibson but the rebel force was overcome and the town was taken. Further northward movement brought the Regiment to Champion Hills. Here on May 16 the rebel force was routed and the next morning the Seventy-seventh resumed its march toward Vicksburg. They next met the enemy at Big Black River and then at the Siege of Vicksburg.[3] After the fall of Vicksburg on July 4, the Regiment pursued the enemy toward Jackson, Mississippi where they took part in the siege and surrender of Jackson. In August the Regiment was ordered to New Orleans and in December was transported to Pass Cavello on the Texas Gulf and went into camp at DeCrow’s Point. They remained there until February 1864, returned to New Orleans and embarked on the Banks’ Red River campaign in March. On April 8, 1864 at Sabine crossroads, south of Mansfield, Louisiana, Confederate forces attacked the Union troops. The Seventy-seventh Illinois was sent forward to assist the cavalry and suffered severely in the defeat; their Colonel, Lysander Webb was killed and 176 other officers and men were killed, wounded and taken prisoner, leaving only 125 men in the Regiment. Following retreat down Red River the Regiment went into camp at Baton Rouge; in August the men were transported to Dauphine’s Island in Mobile Bay, fought at the capture of Forts Gaines and Morgan guarding Mobile Bay and returned to Morganzia above Baton Rouge on the Mississippi River. In October the Regiment moved to New Orleans for provost duty until March 1865[4] then was transported to Fort Morgan, Alabama to aid in the siege and capture of Spanish Fort, and Fort Blakely. On July 10, 1865 the Seventy-seventh Illinois Infantry was mustered out at Mobile, Alabama.[5],[6]
