 HISTORIC VICKSBURG 
 
 The Story of the Campaign, Siege and Defense of Vicksburg 
 and of the Commands, Union and Confederate, engaged therein. 
 Compiled from the Tablet Inscriptions in the Vicksburg National Military Park 
 
 he Vicksburg campaign opened March 29, 1S63, with Gen. Grant's 
 der for the advance of Gen. Osterhaus' Division from Milliken's 
 end and closed July 4, 1S63, with the surrender of Gen. Pember- 
 n's army and the city of Vicksburg. Its course was determined 
 ' Gen. Grant's daring and to Gen. Pemberton and his division com- 
 anders' seemingly impossible plan of campaign. This plan con- 
 mplated the march of his army from Milliken's Bend, Louisiana, 
 a point on the river below Vicksburg, the running of the batteries 
 Vicksburg by a sufficient number of gunboats and transports, and 
 e transfer of the army to the Mississippi side. These preliminary 
 erations were successfully accomplished and the first battle of the 
 mpaign was fought near Port Gibson, May 1. The Union army, 
 
 under command of Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, was composed of the 
 Thirteenth Corps and Logan's Division of the Seventeenth Corps. 
 The Confederate army, under command of Brig. Gen. John S. Bowen, 
 was composed of Tracy's, CockreU's, Green's, and Baldwin's Bri- 
 gades, theSixth Mississippi Infantry.the Botetourt (Virginia) Artillery 
 and a section of Hudson's (Mississippi) Battery. Most of the Con- 
 federate regiments made forced marches to reach the battlefield and 
 arrived with thinned ranks. Tracy's Brigade held the right, Green's 
 and the Sixth Mississippi the left of the Confederate line. The battle 
 was opened at an early hour by the advance of Carr's and Hovey's 
 Divisions on the right and Osterhaus' on the left of the Union line, 
 Smith's Division in reserve. The Confederate left was driven back 
 
 Map illustrating movements leading ,<p to the investment of Vicksburg. 
 
about 10.00 a.m. and Baldwin's Brigade, just arrived, formed a nev 
 line about one and one-half miles in rear of the first position. Two 
 regiments, just arrived, of Cockrell's Brigade were posted on the 
 new line; Green's Brigade and one regiment, just arrived, of Cock- 
 rell's Brigade, were ordered to the Confederate right, which had 
 retired a little from its first position. The First Brigade of Logan's 
 Division was sent, on arrival, to the Union left, the Third reinforced 
 the Union right and Smith's Division became engaged; the Second 
 Brigade of Logan's Division did not arrive until near the close of the 
 battle. The Confederate line was held until about 5.30 p.m., when 
 both wings were driven from their positions and fell back across 
 Bayou Pierre, the First and Fourth Missouri Infantry (consolidated) 
 of Cockrell's Brigade arriving in time to assist in covering the 
 retreat. Casualties: Union; killed 131, wounded 719, missing 25, 
 total 875, one officer killed. Confederate; killed 56, wounded 328, 
 missing 341, total 725, Brig. Gen. E. D. Tracy and three other 
 officers killed. 
 
 Up to that time General Grant had contemplated the probability 
 of uniting the army of General Banks with his army. He then 
 decided not to await the arrival of Banks' army, and the march to 
 the rear of Vicksburg by way of Raymond and Jackson was begun. 
 The next engagement was at Raymond, May 12. The Union army, 
 under command of Maj. Gen. James B. McPherson, was composed of 
 the Third and Seventh Divisions, Seventeenth Corps. The Confed- 
 erate army, under command of Brig. Gen. John Gregg, was composed 
 of Gregg's Brigade and a squadron of Wirt Adams' Cavalry. The 
 battle was opened by the advance of the Third Division, Maj. Gen. 
 John A. Logan commanding — Smith's Brigade on the right, Dennis' 
 on the left, and Stevenson's at first in reserve, but later on the extreme 
 right. The Seventh Division, Brig. Gen. Marcellus M. Crocker 
 commanding, formed line in support and as reserve. The Confed- 
 erate line was held for more than two hours, when the Brigade fell 
 back, mostly in good order, through and beyond the town of Ray- 
 mond. Six mounted companies of the Third Kentucky (Confederate) 
 Infantry arrived at the close of the battle and assisted in covering 
 the retreat. Casualties: Union; killed 66, wounded 339, missing 
 37, total 442, seven officers killed. Confederate; killed 73, wounded 
 251, missing 190, total 514, nine officers killed or mortally wounded. 
 The same day the left of Grant's army, under McClernand, skir- 
 mished at Fourteen-Mile Creek with the cavalry and mounted 
 infantry of Pemberton's army, supported by Bowen's Division and 
 two brigades of Loring's Division. 
 
 After the engagement at Raymond, Sherman's and McPherson's 
 Corps marched toward Jackson, near which city a brief engagement 
 occurred May 14. The Union army, under command of Maj 1 . Can. 
 U. S. Grant, was composed of Steele's and Tuttle's Divisions, Fif- 
 teenth Corps, Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman commanding; aqid 
 Logan's and Crocker's Divisions, Seventeenth Corps, Maj. Gejn. 
 James B. McPherson commanding. General Grant was wi:h 
 General Sherman. The Confederate army, under command of Brig. 
 Gen. John Gregg, was composed of Gregg's, Gist's, and Walker's 
 Brigades. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston was in the city. Gist's Brigade 
 was posted on the Clinton road about three miles west of Jackson, 
 Walker's supported Gist's, and Gregg's was on the right of Gist s. 
 The Third Kentucky Mounted Infantry, a battalion of sharpshoote rs 
 and Martin's Battery of Walker's Brigade, were posted on the Ray- 
 mond road about two miles from the city. The divisions of tie 
 Fifteenth Corps marched toward Jackson on the Raymond road; 
 Tuttle's formed line of battle on both sides of that road and drove 
 the Confederate force into the intrenchment; Steele's formed line on 
 both sides of the railroad; the two divisions advanced and occupied 
 the intrenchments on their respective fronts. The divisions of t/ie 
 Seventeenth Corps marched on the Clinton road; Crocker's formed 
 line of battle, with Logan's in reserve, drove the Confederate line 
 from its position after a sharp fight, advanced and occupied the 
 
 intrenchment in its front. Casualties: Union; killed 42, wounde 
 251, missing 7, total 300, one officer killed. Confederate; killed 1' 
 wounded 64, missing US, total 199, one officer killed. The Cor 
 federate army retreated northward in the direction of Canton an 
 General Grant had placed his army between those of General Pen 
 berton and General Johnston. 
 
 Sherman's Corps remained at Jackson one day and was ordere 
 
 to destroy the military supplies of all kinds in that city and as muc 
 
 as possible of the railroads centering there; McPherson's Corf 
 
 marched west from Jackson the morning of May 15, and the blooc 
 
 iest battle of the campaign was fought the next day at Champion 
 
 Hill. The Union army, under command of Maj. Gen. U. S. Gran 
 
 was composed of the Thirteenth Corps, Blair's Division of the Fi 
 
 teenth Corps and Logan's and Crocker's Divisions of the Sever 
 
 teenth Corps. The Confederate army, under command of Liei 
 
 Gen. John C. Pemberton, was composed of Stevenson's, Bowen 
 
 and Loring's Divisions, and Wirt Adam's Cavalry. Reynold 
 
 Brigade of Stevenson's Division and two Union regiments wei 
 
 detailed as train guards. Logan's and Hovey's Divisions were o 
 
 the right, Osterhaus' and Carr's in the center, A. J. Smith's an 
 
 Blair's on the left of the Union line. Loring's Division held tl 
 
 right, Bowen's the center, and Stevenson's the left of the Confedera' 
 
 line. The battle was opened about 10.30 or 11.00 a.m. by tl 
 
 advance of Logan's and Hovey's Divisions in line of battle; Hovey 
 
 attack broke the Confederate line at the angle, captured the gm 
 
 at that point and at the j unction of the Clinton and middle Raymor 
 
 roads, and forced Cumming's Brigade and the right of Lee's to for 
 
 new lines — the former on the middle Raymond road, the latter c 
 
 a ridge between that road and its first position. Bowen's Divisk 
 
 reinforced the Confederate left, formed line of battle under fire aboi 
 
 1.30 p.m., drove back Hovey's Division, recovered the guns at tl 
 
 junction of the two roads and most of the ground lost earlier in tl 
 
 day. Boomer's Brigade of Crocker's Division reinforced Hovey's ar 
 
 became engaged about 2.00 p.m; two regiments of Holmes' Brigac 
 
 of Crocker's Division became engaged a little later and Bower 
 
 advance was checked. About the same time the right and cent 
 
 of Logan's Division reached the middle Raymond road and capture 
 
 the guns on the left of the Confederate line. About 3.30 p.m., tl 
 
 Union batteries concentrated on a commanding ridge, opened 
 
 heavy fire, the Union line advanced and the Confederate army w 
 
 driven from the field. Stevenson's and Bowen's Divisions crossi 
 
 Baker's creek and fell back toward Vicksburg; Loring's Divisic 
 
 abandoned its artillery and marched southeastward to Cryst 
 
 Springs. Casualties: Union; killed 410, wounded 1,844, missii 
 
 187, total 2,441, thirtv-eight officers killed or mortallv wounde 
 
 Confederate; killed 3S0, wounded 1,018, missing 2,453, 'total 3,85 
 
 Brig. Gen. Lloyd Tilghman and thirty-two other officers killed. 
 
 Part of the Confederate army was ordered by General Pembertc 
 to make a stand on the east side of Big Black River and an engag 
 ment occurred there May 17. The Union army, under commai 
 of Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, was composed of Osterhaus', Smith 
 and Carr's Divisions of the Thirteenth Corps, Maj. Gen. John 
 McClernand commanding. The Confederate army, under commai 
 of Brig. Gen. John S. Bowen, was composed of Cockrell's and Greer 
 Brigades of Bowen's Division, Vaughn's Brigade of Smith's Divisic 
 and the Fourth Mississippi of Baldwin's Brigade, Smith's Divisio 
 Carr's Division was on the right, Osterhaus' in the center, <-• 
 Smith's on the left of the Union line. The Confederate line i 
 formed in an intrenchment on the east side of Big Black River ; 
 across a peninsula formed by a bend in that river; Cockrell's Brig* 
 held the right, Vaughn's and the Fourth Mississippi the center, « 
 Green's the left of the line. After an artillery engagement of ab 
 two hours, Lawler's Brigade on the right of Carr's Division attacl 
 in line of battle with fixed bayonets, the Union line advanced aL 
 its entire front, and the Confederate army fell back from the intren 
 
 D. 
 
 of 
 
ment in disorder and crossed the river. Casualties: Union; killed 
 39, wounded 23", missing 3, total 279, seven officers killed or mor- 
 tally wounded. Confederate; killed 3, wounded 9, missing 539, total 
 551 (exclusive of Vaughn's Brigade and Fourth Mississippi of Bald- 
 win's Brigade not reported), one officer killed. 
 
 The railroad bridge (covered with plank) and the boat bridge on 
 which the Confederates crossed the river were both burned. The 
 morning of May IS the Union army began crossing on three bridges 
 that had been laid during the afternoon and night of the 17th. Sher- 
 man's Corps crossed at Bridgeport, on the right, and marched toward 
 Vicksburg on the Benton-Jackson road; McPherson's Corps, in the 
 center, crossed on a floating bridge borne up by cotton bales, and 
 marched on the same road; McClernand's Corps crossed near the 
 railroad bridge, marched on the Jackson road to Mt. Alban, took a 
 cross road at that point, turning to the left to intersect the Baldwin's 
 Ferry road and marched toward Vicksburg on that road. General 
 Grant believed that his army could storm the Confederate works 
 around the city, and ordered an assault at 2.00 p.m. of May 19. The 
 Union army under his command was composed of three divisions of 
 the Thirteenth Corps, the Fifteenth and the Seventeenth Corps. 
 The Confederate army, under command of Lieut. Gen. John C. 
 Pemberton, was composed of Stevenson's, Forney's, Smith's and 
 Bowen's Divisions, and Waul's Texas Legion. The Fifteenth Corps 
 was on the right, the Seventeenth in the center, and the Thirteenth 
 on the left of the Union line. Stevenson's Division held the right, 
 Forney's the center and Smith's the left of the Confederate line! 
 Bowen's Division and Waul's Texas Legion were in reserve, but 
 Cockrell's Brigade of Bowen's Division was engaged. The Union 
 army advanced at 2.00 p.m.; only a reconnaissance in force was 
 accomplished at most points along its line, but Blair's Division of 
 the Fifteenth Corps assaulted the Stockade Redan on the Grave- 
 yard road and carried the colors of some of its regiments close to - 
 both faces of that work and to the curtain immediately west of 
 it. Casualties: Union; killed 157, wounded 777, missing 8, total 942, 
 fifteen officers killed or mortally wounded. Confederate; not fully 
 reported. 
 
 Neither General Grant nor the rank and file of his army were 
 yet convinced that Vicksburg must be reduced by the slow and 
 laborious operations of a siege. The Twentieth and Tweiity-first 
 were employed in securing positions for the infantry and in placing 
 batteries on commanding points. At 10.00 o'clock the forenoon of the 
 22d a second assault was made. The two armies were in position 
 3n their respective lines as on May 19, except that Waul's Texas 
 Legion had been assigned a position in rear of the left of Lee's Bri- 
 gade on the left of Stevenson's Division. After a heavy cannonade 
 by every gun in position on the Union line, assaults were made at 
 10.00 a.m. by the Fifteenth Corps at the Stockade Redan on the 
 jraveyard road; by the Seventeenth on the right and left of the 
 [ackson road, and by the Thirteenth at the lunette on the Bald- 
 win's Ferry road, the railroad redoubt and the curtain between 
 :hat redoubt and Fort Garrott; Hall's Brigade of McArthur's 
 3ivision, Seventeenth Corps, advanced close to the Confederate 
 ine on the Warrenton road but did not assault; the colors of the 
 eadmg regiments were carried close to the Confederate works at 
 :very point assaulted, a brigade headquarters flag was placed on the 
 iarapet of the Stockade Redan, flags were placed on the parapet of 
 he railroad redoubt and that work was temporarily occupied, but 
 10 permanent lodgment was anywhere made. Assaults were made 
 n the afternoon by the Seventeenth Corps at curtain between the 
 ailroad redoubt and the lunette on the Baldwin's Ferry road, at that 
 unette, at the Jackson road, and at the curtain north of Glass' 
 iayou ; and by the Fifteenth Corps at the curtain south of the Grave- 
 'ard road, at the Stockade Redan on that road, and at a point 
 .bout one-third of a mile west of that redan; the colors of the lead- 
 ng regiments were again carried close to the Confederate line 
 
 another flag was placed on the parapet of the Stockade Redan, but 
 the eftort to carry the Confederate line of defense by assault was 
 unsuccessful at every point. Casualties: Union; killed 502, wounded 
 2,oo0 missing 147, total 3,199, sixty-eight officers killed or mortally 
 wounded. Confederate; not fully reported. 
 
 As early as May 5, General Grant had ordered Lauman's Division 
 of the Sixteenth Corps to the vicinity of Vicksburg: it took position 
 on the left of the Thirteenth on May 25, and, on June 15, Herron's 
 Division took position on the extreme left, extending its line to the 
 river below Vicksburg and thereby completing its investment. Two 
 divisions of the Ninth Corps, two other divisions of the Sixteenth 
 Corps, and seven brigades detached from the three corps that began 
 the campaign were deployed on an exterior line, under command of 
 General Sherman alter June 22, extending from Haynes' Bluff on 
 the left to Big Black River bridge on the right, toguardagainstattack 
 by Johnston s army. This army was assembled after the engage- 
 ment at Jackson, May 14, in the hope that it would be able to raise 
 the siege of Vicksburg, either by defeating General Grant's army or 
 by assisting the Confederate army of Vicksburg to break through 
 the investment line. Siege operations were carried on by the part 
 of the Union army engaged on that line, and were successfully 
 opposed by the Confederate army, from May 23 to July 3, when a 
 proposal for capitulation was sent by General Pemberton to General 
 Grant. They met for conference that afternoon between the lines 
 and near the Jackson road. The terms of capitulation were agreed 
 upon by correspondence after the meeting, and the Confederate 
 army of Vicksburg was surrendered to General Grant on July 4, 
 and a detachment of his army occupied the city. Casualties from 
 March 29 to July 4, inclusive: Union; killed 1,581, wounded 7,554 
 missing 1,007, total 10,142. Confederate; killed 1,413, wounded 
 3,878, missing 3.S00, total 9,091; 29,491 officers and men were sur- 
 rendered at the end of the defense. 
 
 At the beginning of siege operations, May 23, about 162 guns were 
 on the investment line, most of them in position in hastily con- 
 structed batteries. These were enlarged and strengthened and 
 additional guns successively mounted in new batteries at advan- 
 tageous positions. Embrasures of batteries close to the Confederate 
 line closed against rifle balls by plank shutters or with bags of packed 
 cotton. The first parallel made almost continuous from the right 
 on the river tojhe left of the 13th Army Corps, and.astheapproaches 
 were carried forward, second and third parallels opened. Loopholes 
 for sharpshooters, made either with sand bags or in a timber on the 
 parapet; sixteen principal approaches begun and eleven carried close 
 to the Confederate line. They were loop-holed for sharpshooters 
 wherever opportunity for fire was afforded; nine galleries for mines 
 started" and two mines fired, both at the head of Logan's approach. 
 At the end of the siege, July 4, about 220 guns, including all from 
 the Navy, were on the investment line, largely in position; eighty- 
 nine batteries constructed, but about twenty abandoned and their 
 guns moved to the exterior line or to advanced positions; aggregate 
 length of Union trenches, twelve miles. 
 
 The Confederate line of defense, eight miles long, mounted about 
 L30 gunsun sixty-seven batteries. Works and connecting curtains 
 'oop-holed for sharpshooters. Damage done them by the Union 
 batteries repaired at night. A number of guns disabled by the fire 
 of the Union batteries and, in most cases, new guns could not be 
 mounted in their places. Countermines against Union approaches 
 and mines prepared at nine places and four fired. Retrenchments 
 made in rear of some works, but not used, as the line of defense was 
 not anywhere broken. The defense largely confined to snapshoot- 
 ing and maintained for forty-seven days without relief for the officers 
 and men in the trenches, part of the time without sufficient rations. 
 
 Reported casualties, May 23- July 4: Union; killed 94, wounded 
 425, missing 119, total 638, nineteen officers killed or mortally 
 wounded. Confederate, not separately reported. Reported casu- 
 
alties, Mayl8-July4: Union; killed 766, wounded 3,793, missing 276, 
 total 4,835, 107 officers killed or mortally wounded. Confederate, 
 river batteries not included; killed S73, wounded 2,141, missing 158, 
 total 3,172, 93 officers killed or mortally wounded. 
 
 The Vicksburg Campaign would not have been planned and 
 could not have been conducted on the lines on which it was success- 
 fully made without the assistance of the Navy. About twenty-six 
 gunboats and light-draughts of the Mississippi Squadron, with 
 necessary attendants, Acting Rear Admiral David D. Porter com- 
 manding, and, during part of the time, the Mississippi Marine Bri- 
 gade, Brig. Gen. Alfred W. Ellett commanding, co-operated with 
 the army in the operations of the campaign and siege. 
 
 The night of April 16, 1S63, eight gunboats, including the Ram 
 "General Price," and three transports passed the Confederate bat- 
 teries on the river line at Vicksburg and at Warrenton, one transport 
 sunk. Six days later five additional transports passed down without 
 material damage, and one was sunk by the fire of the Confederate 
 batteries. The gunboats below Vicksburg bombarded the Confed- 
 erate batteries at Grand Gulf, April 29, without effectively silenc- 
 ing them. They and the seven transports ran past these batteries 
 that night and, during the two following days, carried six divisions 
 of the army across the river, landing them at Bruinsburg on the 
 Mississippi side. The other divisions of General Grant's army were 
 carried across the river at later dates. 
 
 At the beginning of the investment the gunboats below the city 
 attacked the lower Confederate batteries, May 19, May 20, May 21, 
 May 22 and May 27. On the last-named day the gunboat "Cin- 
 cinnati" attacked the upper batteries from above the city and was 
 disabled and sunk. During the siege detachments from the Squad- 
 ron co-operated by making the investment on the river side as com- 
 plete as possible and by shelling the Confederate batteries and 
 intrenchments; served seven mortars on mortar boats anchored 
 behind the peninsula opposite the city, and, during the latter part 
 of the siege, three heavy guns on scows behind the peninsula and at 
 the left — north — of the mortar boats; made expeditions up the 
 Yazoo River and its tributaries and co-operated in the repulse of the 
 Confederate attacks at Young's Point, Milliken's Bend and Good- 
 rich's Landing. Thirteen heavy guns from the Squadron mounted 
 on the investment line in eight batteries. 
 
 Detachments from the Marine Brigade were engaged at Rich- 
 mond, Louisiana, June 15, casualties, wounded 3; co-operated in 
 the repulse of the Confederate attack at Goodrich's Landing, casual- 
 ties, 1 officer killed; and served three guns on the peninsula opposite 
 the city during the latter part of the siege. Reported casualties in 
 the Squadron— including the infantry regiments detailed for service 
 on gunboats— in the campaign and siege: killed 23, drowned 14, 
 wounded 102, missing 1, total 140, 1 officer killed. 
 
 The River Batteries, under command of Colonel Edward Hig- 
 gins, C. S. Artillery, were served by six companies of Tennessee 
 Heavy Artillery on the right, four companies of the 8th Louisiana 
 Heavy Artillery Battallion in the center and eight companies of the 
 1st Louisiana Heavy Artillery on the left. Two companies of the 
 22d Louisiana were attached to the left and the Vaiden (Mississippi) 
 Battery to the center of the command. It was charged with the 
 duty of opposing the passage of Union gunboats and transports and 
 was in action; the night of April 16, when eight gunboats and three 
 transports passed, without reported casualties, one transport sunk; 
 the night of April 22, when six transports passed, casualties, 1 killed, 
 2 wounded, total 3, one transport sunk, and the night of May 3, 
 when a tug and two loaded barges attempted to pass but were sunk, 
 ■without reported casualties. 
 
 At the beginning of the investment, May 18, about thirty-eight 
 heavy guns were in position on the river line and thirteen light 
 pieces posted on the city front. All the light and six of the heavy 
 guns were successively moved to the line of defense with the detach- 
 ments serving them, but one of the heavy guns was moved back to 
 the river line. 
 
 During the investment, May 18-July 4, the river batteries were 
 opposed to the gunboats below the city, the mortars behind the 
 peninsula, and the guns on the peninsula and on scows, and were 
 engaged May 19, May 20, May 21, May 22 and May 27, with the 
 gunboats below the city. On the last-named day the gunboat 
 "Cincinnati" attacked the upper batteries and was disabled and 
 sunk on the Mississippi side of the great bend in the river above 
 the city, after an action of thirty minutes. Reported casualties 
 in command during the investment: killed and wounded about 
 thirty.

 Ewing's Brigade; Assault, May 19, 1863. 
 
 This brigade, with skirmishers in advance, was formed behind 
 the crest of^.the ridge immediately north of Mint Spring Bayou, in 
 order, from right to left, as follows: 37th Ohio, 4th West Virginia, 
 47th Ohio, in line, and the 30th Ohio in reserve. The brigade con- 
 nected closely with Steele's Division on its right, and with Giles A. 
 Smith's Brigade on its left. This brigade moved promptly at the 
 appointed time, 2.00 p.m. Its left two regiments advanced close to 
 the Confederate intrenchment, where their colors remained until 
 after dark. The right regiment was unable to cross the ravine in 
 its front, on account of obstacles, but covered the left in its advanced 
 position by a heavy fire. When the line moved forward the reserve 
 regiment advanced to the crest of the hill and began firing. After 
 dark the brigade retired, under orders, to the position where it 
 formed for the assault. This tablet marks the farthest advance of 
 the 4th West Virginia. Casualties: 30th Ohio, wounded 9; 37th 
 Ohio, killed 14, wounded 35, total 49, Lieuts. Gustav A. Wintzer 
 
 and Sebaldus Hassler killed; 47th Ohio, killed 13, wounded 40,

 Union force assaulted immediately after the mine was fired, occupied 
 the crater and attempted to carry the parapet across the gorge of 
 
the redan, but was repulsed. Col. Erwin, Gtli Missouri, at the head 
 of some of his men, attempted a countercharge and was killed on 
 top of the parapet. The Union force in the crater was successively 
 relieved by fresh troops, the fighting continued all night and most 
 of the next day, and the position was firmly held. Hand grenades 
 and shells with lighted fuses in place of grenades, were freely used 
 on both sides. After dark of the 25th, the 5th Missouri reinforced

 Stevenson's Brigade; Assault, May 22, 1863. 
 
 This brigade, with fixed bayonets, was formed in two columns 
 of regiments bv divisions — the 7th Missouri and Xlst Illinois on the 
 right, the 8th Illinois and 32d Ohio on the left; the 17th Illinois 
 deployed in front as skirmishers. The formation was in a ravine 
 in front of the Confederate line. The columns moved to the assault 
 about 10.00 a.m., the right led by Capt. Buchanan, the left led by Col. 
 Sturges, and both advanced near to the Confederate intrenchment; 
 the left column was halted and ordered to form a reserve to the 
 right, which was ordered to form line, the 81st Illinois on the left of 
 the 7th Missouri. This movement was made under a heavy fire 
 and the men were then ordered to lie down. After a time the fire- 
 slackened and the command was ordered forward. The 7th A'lissouri 
 and the Slst Illinois advanced close to the ditch of the redoubt, 
 some men of the 7th, carrying scaling ladders, getting into the ditch; 
 the Confederate fire was again very severe and both were ordered 
 to retire and re-form. The other regiments held their positions until 
 ordered to camp at nightfall. This tablet marks the farthest

 This brigade advanced by the right Hank at 10.00 a.m., to assault 
 the Confederate Lunette on the Baldwin's Ferry road, through the 
 ravine that debouches on that road immediately in front of the left 
 face of that lunette, in order from right to left as follows: 99th 
 Illinois, 33d Illinois, 8th Indiana, 18th Indiana. The regiments 
 encountered a very severe fire as they successively approached the 
 head of the ravine and the brigade took position in front of both 
 faces of the Confederate Lunette and the curtain south of it — the 
 99th Illinois around the salient angle of the lunette, the 18th 
 Indiana on its right, the 33d Illinois on the left of the 99th Illinois, 
 and the Sth Indiana still farther to the left. Detachments of the 
 two last-named regiments crossed the railroad and took position 
 in front of the Confederate railroad redoubt. The positions gained 
 were held either until detachments of the brigade were relieved by 
 Sanborn's Brigade or until after dark, when all the detachments not 
 previously relieved, retired. This tablet marks the right of the 99th

 advanced when that brigade became engaged, and took position on 
 its right — the Kith Indiana on the left, the 83d Ohio in the center, 
 the 67th Indiana on the right, and the 23d Wisconsin at first in 
 reserve but soon ordered to support the right of the brigade with 
 four companies and the left with six. Gen. Burbridge, commanding 
 brigade, was ordered by Gen. Carr to send two regiments of his 
 command to reinforce Gen. Benton's left; in obedience to that order, 
 the 67th Indiana and 23d Wisconsin were withdrawn from the line; 
 the order, however, was soon countermanded and the two regiments 
 were returned to the brigade line. A 6-pounder gun of the Chicago 
 Mercantile Battery was ordered to the front and drawn by hand, 
 with the assistance of enlisted men of this brigade and of Benton's 
 Brigade, toa position about thirty feet from the Confederate Lunette, 
 against which it was vigorously served. The brigade maintained 
 its position until near sunset, when it was relieved by Sanborn's 
 Brigade and retired. This tablet marks the right of the 16th Indiana

 formed, for the assault at 10.00 a.m., in line of battle on the left of 
 Boomer's Brigade, about eighty yards in front of the Confederate 
 intrenchment and on the slope of a ridge affording some protection. 
 The 59th Indiana was temporarily transferred to Boomer's Brigade 
 and formed with it; the ISth Wisconsin was deployed as skirmishers 
 in front of that brigade and the 4th Minnesota. No assault was 
 made from that position, and, about 3 p.m., this brigade was ordered 
 to reinforce Gen. McClernand's right; the 59th Indiana was returned 
 to its command and the 18th Wisconsin ordered to remain on the 
 skirmish line. The three regiments moved to the left, were directed 
 to support Burbridge's Brigade in the assault on the Confederate 
 Lunette on the Baldwin's Ferry road, marched by the flank through 
 the ravine that debouches on that road at the lunette, formed line 
 of battle, relieving Burbridge's Brigade, in front and to the right of

 Carrabout4. 00p.m. .and was ordered to assault the Confederate cur- 
 tain between the lunette on the Baldwin's Ferry road and the railroad 
 redoubt. The brigade was formed, in two lines with intervals of 
 about 50 yards, behind the crest of the ridge about 400 yards in 
 front of the Confederate curtain, in the following order: the 5th 
 Iowa on the right, in front, with the 26th Missouri in its rear; the 
 93d Illinois on the left, in front, with the 10th Iowa in its rear. When 
 the formation was completed, the brigade advanced, at common 
 time, passed the first ridge and halted, near the crest of the second, 
 to correct its alignment for the final assault on the Confederate 
 curtain — the 5th Iowa being moved by the left flank to the rear and 
 partly to the left of the 93d Illinois and 10th Iowa. Immediately 
 thereafter the brigade commander, Col. George B. Boomer, 26th 
 Missouri, was instantly killed by a musket ball and the final assault 
 was not made. Col. Holden Putnam, 93d Illinois, assumed command, 
 and, under orders from Gen. Carr, the brigade remained in position 
 until after dark and then retired to the position where it was first 
 formed for the afternoon assault — returning, next day, to its posi-
