Hello Terry and Tony - Tony, you had contacted me a while back in regard to your project of transcribing Civil War letters, and sent me two articles (IDJ February 12, 1862, page 2, col. 2-3 and February 28, 1862, page 2, col. 1-2) written by H. B. Hibben. And Terry, I assume that James Colgrove, Adjunct of the 44th Indiana Infantry is an ancestor of yours. On behalf of the Hibben family I tardily apologize to the Colgrove family and the members of the 44th Indiana for the apparent omission of the information about the brave and forceful participation of other Indiana regiments at the battle for Donelson. However, I do wish to take exception to the thought that the author intentionally made misstatements and concealed the facts. I presume that his view of the battlefield was limited his own and flanking regiments. H. B. Hibben was not a reporter. He was Chaplain Henry Bascom Hibben of the 11th Indiana Infantry who closely observed the battles of Fort Henry and Donelson as fought by his regiment and who tended to the physical and emotional injuries of his men after both battles. For his participation he received these comments from his commanding officer: Every officer and man engaged in the battle did his duty to my entire satisfaction, and I have no special mention to make of any. Of the non-combatants, Chaplain H. B. Hibben deserves especial notice for valuable assistance to Surgeon Thompson, which was cheerfully rendered until all of our wounded were cared for and made as comfortable as the circumstances would admit. . . I herewith enclose a correct list of our killed and wounded: Respectfully, GEORGE F. McGINNIS, Colonel Eleventh Indiana. For a biography of Rev. H. B. Hibben please visit my Hibben family web site www.hibbengenealogy.org and click on Chapter III, Generation 4.4. Hopefully you will learn that he was somewhat of a romantic and prone to only see and emphasize (sometimes in poetry) the 'glory' of warfare, not military strategy and the horror of war. This is quite obvious in the two IDJ articles Tony sent me. I would agree that his rather verbose literary style was not as professional as that of a newspaper war reporter. This month the Indiana Historical Society publication - The Hoosier Genealogist, Connections - is publishing a brief biography of Rev. H. B. Hibben, excerpted from the my book. Thank you, Tony, for sharing your research project with us. Isn't it wonderful that two families have the privilege to question the actions and motives of long gone relatives. And, Terry, I hope this information will finally allow James Colgrove to rest more peacefully in his hero's grave.

For the purpose of setting your readers right in the case above mentioned, and in some other, as so many misstatements have been made, and so many facts concealed, and that our own State troops may have the proper credit, I subjoin a brief statement of the part taken in the capture of Fort Donelson by the 13th [3rd error in original] brigade, composed of the 31st and 44th Indiana and the 17th and 25th Kentucky Regiments, Colonel Craft, of the 31st Indiana, commanding: and particulary [sic] of the part taken by the 44th Indiana, to which I am attached. We formed our line about 8 a.m. Saturday on the left of our brigade, and marched at double-quick about three-fourths of a mile, exposed to a severe fire from the enemy the whole distance, to support some Illinois troops who had broken into disorder and were falling back. (See official report.) On arriving at our position on the extreme right Col. Logan came to us and requested us to withhold our fire, as “our own troops were between us and the enemy.” We did so, and remained in our position about half an hour, exposed to and receiving from the enemy all the time a galling fire—losing during this time three or four men and having several wounded. The enemy’s fire not being returned, he advanced so near (infantry and cavalry) that we could distinctly make out their uniforms through the brush, and the troops between us and the enemy having entirely disappeared. Col. Reed gave the order to fire, and a blaze of light ran along our whole line, which told with terrible effect, killing some forty of the enemy, as we afterwards learned from prisoners. We held the enemy in check in that position for some two hours, when the regiment on our right (an Illinois regiment) having given way, leaving us unsupported, the enemy so far outnumbered us that he was able to turn our left flank and pour into us a crossfire, while the fire in front was not at all diminished. Observing this, we changed our position and reformed with our brigade, about forty rods distant, and came to a charge bayonet, to meet a cavalry charge of the enemy with which we were threatened. The enemy not returning to make the charge, and the firing having entirely ceased on the enemy’s left wing, we formed on the top of a hill adjoining our hospital and remained there until the middle of the afternoon. During this time we saw no one except those connected with our brigade. About 3 P. M. Colonel Cruft received orders from General Wallace to dislodge the enemy from a neighboring hill, in front of their line of defense which was enfiladed by a battery of the enemy. In this charge we were supported by the 8th Missouri and 11th Indiana, two as gallant regiments as were in the battle, but which, up to this time, had not been engaged. The 8th Missouri was in the advance in ascending the hill, on the top of which the enemy was drawn up in force, and nearly concealed by a dense thicket. The 44th Indiana was the second regiment, closely following the 8th Missouri and closely followed by the 31st and 11th Indiana and the 17th Kentucky. Our whole line was extended as rapidly as possible, so that we formed one continuous line along the summit of the hill, and the enemy was speedily driven from his entrenchments. This last charge ended the battle, and night coming on we bivouacked on the field and in range of the enemy’s guns, several shots from which were thrown among us. On the following morning, just after we were drawn up in line of battle the joyful news came that the enemy had surrendered. We immediately marched within the fortifications and town of Dover, through the ranks of the enemy, who were drawn up in line—both infantry and cavalry—and outnumbering us three to one. They all, as yet, had their arms, and all loaded. They looked and acted as though they only needed a word of command to cut us to pieces. Our brigade was the first within the works, the 44th in front, and to our brigade the arms were surrendered and by us stacked. This being done, we returned to our camp, and on the same night started for Fort Henry, distant fifteen miles, in mud half knee deep, and the rain pouring down in torrents, where we are still encamped. James Colgrove, Adj’t 44th Reg’t, Ind. Vols.
