TWENTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY. 413
HISTORY OF TWENTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY,
The Twenty-seventh Infantry Illinois Volunteers was orgfanized with onlyseven companies, at Camp Butler, Illinois, August 10, 1861, with Napoleon B.Buford for Colonel, Fraziel R. Harrinerton, Lieutenant Colonel, and orderedto go into camp at Jacksonville, 111, as part of Brigadier GeneralJohn A. Mc-Clernand's Brigade.
September 1, it was ordered to Cairo, where its organization was completedby the addition of three more companies, and the appointment of Hall Wil-son as Major, and Henry A. Burt, Adjutant.
At the battle of Belmont, Mo., November 7, 1861, under General McCler-nand, it received its first baptism of fire, when it formed the right wing ofthe attacking force. Under the inspiration of its brave Colonel it drove, in
the midst of a perfect hail of bullets and canister shot, the enemy from hiscamp in utter rout, capturing two brass field pieces which it immediatelymanned and turned upon the retreating enemy. It lost severely in the en-gagement and was the last Regiment to leave the field after the enemy hadbeen reinforced from Columbus.
March 4, 1862, the Regiment formed part of the forces sent to occupy Co-lumbus, which point had been evacuated by the Rebels.
March 14, in company with the Forty-second Illinois, Fifteenth Wisconsin,and parts of the Second Illinois Light Artillery and Second Illinois Cavalry,it formed the "Mississippi Flotilla," and started down the Mississippi River,taking an active part in the siege of "Island No. Ten."
March 30, it left its moorings above the Island and proceeded to Hickman,Ky., where it disembarked, and in company with the Fifteenth Wisconsin In-fantry, three companies of Second Illinois Cavalry, and three pieces ofHoughtaling's Battery, all under command of Colonel N. B. Buford, made aforced march to near Union City. Tenn., where at daylight on the merningSofthe 3Lst, it attacked a Rebel force that was being concentrated at that point,capturing and burning the enemy's entire camp and garrison equipage. Ac-complishing all that the expedition was sent out for, it returned with a fewprisoners to Hickman, re-embarked on its transport boat and returned to its
position above Island No. 10 without any casualities.
April 8, the Regiment was the first to land on Island No. 10, where it tookcharge of the captured forces, consisting of over 200 prisoners, including fourcompanies of Rebel Artillery, thirty siege guns and a large quantity of campand garrison equipage.
April 13, it movfed down the Mississippi river, forming part of the squadronfor attacking Fort Pillow, anchoring at a point about 6 miles above the fort,
where it awaited developments.

May 17 it again encountered the enemy, drove him from his position andoccupied Farmington. May 30, advanced in pursuit of the enemy beyondCorinth towards Booneville. The enemy having "skedaddled" the Regimentwent into camp near Corinth, where it remained till the last of July, when it
removed its camp to luka. Miss., where it did service by foraging off the ene-my and bringing into Union lines confiscated cotton, returning from one ex-
pedition with 60 bales of fine cotton besides large quantities of corn and othersupplies. In August, 1862, the Regiment was distributed along the line of
the Memphis & Charleston Railroad. September 5, it crossed the Tennesseeriver at Decatur, Alabama, and rejoined the other Regiments of General Pal-mer's Brigade and made a rapid march for Nashville, Tenn., arriving Sep-tember 12, where it remained during September, October, and November,while the city was cut off from communication with the North. Engaged in
foraging off the enemy and watching the movements of Forrest's and Mor-gan's guerrilla Cavalry.
October 7, 1862, it took part in the skirmish with the enemy at LaVerne,Tenn., where quite a Rebel force was routed, part captured with a large sup-ply train. The Regiment was highly complimented by the commanding offi-
cer. General Palmer, for its efficiency during the expedition. November 5, it
took a prominent part in repulsing General Forrest's attack upon Nashville-
Early in December, 1862, the Twenty-seventh was assigned to General P.H. Sheridan's Division under Colonel Roberts of the Forty-second Regimentas Brigade Commander, forming a part of the right wing under General Mc-Cook, ®f Rosecrans' "Army of the Cumberland."
On the morning of December 26, the great army moved toward Murfrees-boro, Tenn. The Twenty-seventh, deployed as skirmishers, soon took theadvance of the Brigade on the "Nolensville Pike;" quickly discovering theenemy, it pushed forward in the midst of a drenching rain so steadily thatthe enemy was soon in full retreat toward Nolensville, from which place hewas also quickly driven, falling back toward Murfreesboro.
December 30, it marched in line of battle, supporting the Twenty-secondand Forty-second Illinois Regiments as skirmishers, the enemy giving awayslowly and very reluctantly. That night (30th), the Regiment slept on its
arms expecting a conflict in the morning. It finished its breakfast—the last
of its five days' rations—before daylight of the morning of the 31st and stoodto arms.
The two right companies, A and B, relieved the pickets in our front theprevious night. Soon heavy fighting commenced away to the right of theRegiment, followed by the driving in of the picket line in our front, and soonthe whole Regiment was under fire.
The position of the Regiment was the left Regiment of the Brigade, Divisionand right wing of the army.
Finding the right wing of the army giving way and driven back under thegalling fire of the enemy massed on its front, Colonel Harrington, in com-mand of the Regiment, changed front and formed line of battle in the pointof timber to its left, where, supported by Houghtaling's Batterj^ on the left
and the Twenty-second Illinois Regiment in its rear, the Colonel gave ordersto lie low and not fire till he gave the order.
The enemy flushed with success advanced rapidly, when the Twenty-seventhopened and gave him volley after volley which sent him reeling back. Threetimes he rallied and advanced only to be repulsed by the \errible fire whichthe Twenty-seventh and Twenty-second were pouring into his ranks. Herethe Regiment suffered terrible losses, being in position where it drew the fire
of two Rebel batteries, besides the fire of the advancing infantry columns.Every horse of Houghtaling's Battery was killed, its Brigade Commander(Colonel Roberts) killed, its Colonel (Harrington) taken from the field mor-tally wounded. Its ammunition nearly all fired away, and being warned that
the enemy was getting into its rear, tho Regiment began to look to see whowas in command. Finally Major William A. Schmitt, who had been too in-
tently interested in the successful repulse of the enemy to fully realize that
the command of the Regiment devolved upon him, said: "Boys, we must get

•out of this! To the rear, march.'' It was now near 12 o'clock as we com-menced a line of retreat through the thick cedars toward the center of theUnion line of battle. Coming out on the Murfreesboro and Nashville pikenear General Rosecrans' headquarters, it was at once ordered into line ofbattle to check the Rebel advance upon headquarters. The Regiment clamor-ing for ammunition advanced to near the brow of the hill, where the enemywas approaching in hot haste with overwhelming numbers. Peeling unequalto the task it fell back to the pike. Again orders came that the Regimentmust advance and charge bayonets. About-facing, the Regiment fixed bay-onets and rushed upon the foe with a most unearthly yell, driving him back,capturing a large number of prisoners and saving the day to the Union forces,as acknowledged by General Rosecrans in a general order issued immediatelyafter the battle.
Emboldened by success, it pursued the enemy for a full half mile until or-dered to fall back. Tremblingly, but not disheartened, did it await the goingdown of the sun on that day of fearful carnage.
At daylight Jan. 1, 1863, the Regiment stood to arms awaiting an attack.None came till about one o'clock P. M., when a Brigade of the enemy drovein the pickets and approached where the Regiment had thrown up breast-works. Withholding its fire till the enemy was within short range, it openeda most murderous fire, compelling the enemy to retreat double-quick, leavinghis dead and wounded, besides one or two hundred prisoners. This was thelast of the hard fighting by the Regiment at the battle of "Stone River."
It soon went into camp beyond Murfreesboro, where it performed picketduty with an occasional skirmish with the enemy until June 24, 1863, when it
moved with the army—being a part of the Twentieth Army Corps—againstShelbyville, TuUahoma and Stevenson; thence to Bridgeport, Alabama, whereit was stationed for some time.
It crossed the Tennessee River with its Corps at Bridgeport, on September2, 1863, and moved toward Rome, Ga. This movement was kept up till the17th inst., when it commenced a forced march over the almost impassablehills of that region, to rejoin the main body of Rosecrans' forces at Chicka-mauga. September 19, after partaking of an early breakfast, it was movedat a double-quick step from early dawn till late in the evening, making butone halt for a hasty dinner. Soon after four o'clock it was suddenly hurledinto action—left in front—where it had a desperate encounter with some ofthe rebel forces under General Longstreet. Advancing under a murderousfire, it retook two pieces of the Eleventh Indiana Battery of General Woods,which had just been captured from our forces, and held the ground gainednotwithstanding the enemy made several attempts to retake it, losing heavilyin the short engagement. It held the position until near daylight the follow-ing morning, when it was ordered to the rear for breakfast and a little neededrest. By eleven o'clock on the morning of the 20th it was again called intoline of battle and went immediately into action, but was unable to check theadvance of the enemy, who was moving forward with a line six or eight col-umns deep. After suffering great loss from the enemy's fire, the line wasbroken and the Regiment moved to the rear in good order, where it served astrain guard during the remaining days of the battle, until ordered into campat Chattanooga.
Was in Chattanooga during its investment, and was engaged in stormingMission Ridge, as a part of Barker's Brigade, Sheridan's Division, andThomas' Corps, where it was particularly noticed for its good conduct.
Prom Mission Ridge it went upon a forced march to the relief of Burnsideat Knoxville, Tenn.,then closely pressed by Longstreet's Corps. The march,115 miles, was a severe one, many of the command being without shoes beforeit ended. The Regiment was obliged to live on what could be picked up byforaging off the enemy.
Reaching Knoxville the enemy had been repulsed by Burnside and was re-treating. It returned to Louden, Tenn., on January 25, 1864, remaining untilApril 18, when it was ordered to Cleveland, Tenn. From thence it movedwith the Army of the Cumberland on the Atlanta campaign, during whichthere was scarcely a day that the Twenty-seventh or some part of it was not

under fire more or less severe. It occupied the summit in the engagement at
Rocky-faced Ridge, where, during the nights spent upon it with no shelter,
the command had to lash itself with withes to the saplings growing among therocks for fear of rolling down the ridge. Engaged with the enemy there May9; at Resaca, May 14; near Calhoun, May 16; Adairsville, May 17; near Dal-las, May 26 to June 4; Pine Top Mountain, where Confederate General BishopPolk was killed, June 10 to 14. On June 18 the Regiment was in a desperatefight from noon till night, at what the soldiers called the battle of MuddyCreek, because of the muddy creek which ran between them and the enemy'sworks, caused by the heavy rains. In the assault on Kenesaw Mountain,June 27, the Twenty-seventh, Twenty-second, Fifty-first and Forty-secondiliiiiois formed General Harker's Brigade which made the centre assault,
during which General Harker received his death wound. The Regiment wentinto the asseult with seventeen oflficers, coming out with only seven, and theloss of men was in about the same proportion. Color Sergeant Delaney, abrave soldier of Company K, from Jacksonville, 111., planted the colors of the
Twenty-seventh on the rebel earthworks, had a bayonet run through his
breast, and fell backward, while the Regimental colors fell inside the works.Delaney died next day, mourning the loss of his colors. Skirmished aroundthe vicinity of the Chattahoochie River. July 20, was in the battle of PeachTree Creek, and took part in the investment and skirmishes about Atlanta.
The Regiment was relieved from duty at the tront August 25, 1864, and or-
dered to Springfield, 111., for muster out. Was detained at Nashville several
days on account of apprehension of an attack by Wheeler. Was then con-veyed by steamer down the Cumberland River and up the Mississippi to Alton,111'., thence by rail to Camp Butler, near Springfield, where it was musteredout September 20, 1864, after three years and three months constant service at
the front.
During its term of service the Regiment had the following casualties:
Killed or died of wounds, 102; died of disease, 80; number of wounded, 328^discharged for disability and resignation, 209; transferred, 39.
Its veterans and recruits were consolidated with the Ninth Illinois Volun-teer Infantry.
