Good Evening: I apologize for my earlier message not being in PLAIN TEXT. My GG Uncle, Pvt Anderson Aler of the 107th Ill Inf, Co F, was mustered in (DeWitt Co) on Aug 10, 1862. He stayed with the 107th throughout the war and was mustered out on June 21, 1865. I have traced his assigments to the Battle of Kennesaw Mt in Georgia. Might anyone have any details of this engagement that would include the 107TH ILL INF? Craig Ayler Craig.Ayler@worldnet.att.net

Hi Clay, Could not resist answering your comment "oh, to be retired and able to dabble in this stuff all day". Well, I just retired on the 19th of December and those were my comments exactly, and I am still waiting for ONE day to be able to dabble. Nice to dream though.

Hi BKettler, I really appreciate you getting back to me about this. My gg gramps was in Co. A., 78th Ill.; lived in Brooklyn, Schuyler County. What company did your guys serve in?: << David Coulter, John Riley, and James Phipps, all of the Keene community of Adams county >> I have been to several of the battlefield and stood on the exact ground the 78th fought on; pretty sobering to do that knowing what was coming down on these young guys. Do you have photos or letters, etc.? Wonder if John R.Gott and your guys knew each other. Chances are very good they did. Also John Gott's brother Thomas was in the 78th. He lived in the town of Liberty, which I think is in Adams Co. Well, let's keep in touch. There's a guy writing a history of the 78th, but who knows when it will be done. See ya, Clay Feeter Pistol River, Ore.

I am a former member of a re-enactment group from Peoria, Illinois. We portrayed company K of the 86th Illinois. I am sure I have just the person who could tell you about all you need to know about the 86th and more. You may contact: Baxter Fite II Peoria, IL 309-685-5861 Matt Ryan 77th Illinois Volunteer Infantry SeventySeventhIL@aol.com cilh.com

Hello -- I've been researching the 82nd Illinois for years, and have a website up with a good selection of what I've found -- http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/7419 There are not many photos of the men or officers of the 82nd around, unfortunately. I've never seen one of Captain Hoppe. I suspect there are more in private collections, but I have posted on my website pretty much all that I have found from public or private collection. For anyone who's interested, I'm happy to do lookups of men of the 82nd from the materials I've got.

I received several messages asking if I was aware that rootsweb has several of the rosters online for the various infantries. Actually the transcription work that I am doing is for rootsweb. As I complete or begin the transcriptions for each roster, I was notifying this group of their availability and offering to do lookups on rosters that have not yet been transcribed. Therefore, I am not duplicating any transcription efforts, as I am working for Rootsweb on these projects. So, please do not send me notification that these are online, as I am part of the volunteer project group. I do appreciate your notices, however. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Thanks so much for the information. I plan to join the Civil War site. We'll be gone for a month so I'm waiting until we come back to start my membership. I'd also be interested in the name of the book you referred to from Butternut and Blue. This is a great list. I'm so glad I found it. Thanks again.

Hi Debbie, I am not the owner of this list, but since you have sent so many messages to the list asking to be UNSUBSCRIBED, I thought I would tell you how to do it yourself. Just click on the following: mailto:IL-CIVIL-WAR-L-request@rootsweb.com write UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message and then mail the message. One caution, you will have to send the "unsubscribe" request "from" the address you used when you subscribed to the list.

Hi Phyllis, No problem w/ the ancestor help. I rarely answer this forum cause you can get WAY too into it and never get anything done. Oh, to be retired and able to dabble in this stuff all day. re: > I'd also be interested in the > name of the book you referred to from Butternut > and Blue. I wrote down the book info when I went home last night. It is exclnt because it shows maps of exactly where both/all our ancestors fought. The book is: "Kennesaw Mountain, June 1964" By Richard Baumgartner http://www.blueacornpress.com/ Box 2684   Huntington, WV  25726   (304) 733-3917 and there's even a quote on the opening page of the book from a corporal in the 86th Ill. named John Kinnear talking about how getting back away (retreating) from in front of the Confederates was harder than charging them because they had to turn their back to the rebs w/ the rifles firing away.

Greetings to the List ... As many of you no doubt know, there is an Illinois monument at Cheatham Hill in the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. A picture of it, along with other related information, can be found at this Web site: http://www.georgiajournal.com/history/kennesawmtn.html This is very close to my home in Marietta, and I have visited the monument many times, and taken pictures of it from every angle ... including pictures of the inscriptions. ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF THE ILLINOIS SOLDIERS WHO DIED ON THE BATTLEFIELD OF KENNESAW MOUNTAIN, GEORGIA JUNE 27, 1854 .... followed by a rather lengthy description of the battle, and the principals involved. The dedication to the 125th Infantry states: 125TH ILL. VOLUNTEER. INFTY COMMANDED BY COL. O. F. HARMON BATTERY I, 2ND ILL. LIGHT ARTILLERY COMMANDED BY LT. ALONZO F. COE And of the 85th and 86th ... 85TH ILL. VOLUNTEER. INFTY. COMMANDED BY COL. C. J. DILWORTH. 86TH ILL. VOLUNTEER. INFTY. COMMANDED BY LT. COL. A. L. FAHNESTOCK. Also, markers are planted where events occurred. For instance: HERE FELL CAPT. H.M. NEIGHBOR CO. D, 52ND O.V.I. OF NEWCOMERSTOWN, OHIO MORTALLY WOUNDED IN THE ASSAULT OF JUNE 27TH, 1864 If anyone would like images of the monument or any of the inscriptions, all you have to do is ask! I'll be happy to email JPEG files of all, or any portion of it. Please let me know. Carl Jay Egetter Marietta, Georgia Grandson of Stillman Augustus Pease P.S. I have just located my grandfather's pocket diary for 1864, and although he was from Illinois, and did serve with the 89th Infantry, he apparently was not in the area at the time of the Kennesaw battles.

I think Spooky wants to be taken off the list. Regards, Tom

I transcribed the Adjutant General's Report for the 125th Illinois Infantry and the roster. I will be happy to do lookups on this for anyone interested, or send the file with this and the names. HISTORY OF ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY The One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Infantry was formed of good war material, mainly drawn from the rural precincts of Vermilion and Champaign counties, with a sprinkling of mechanics, professional and laboring men and clerks from the towns, practically all of whom could read and write, so that the war and its possible requirements were well comprehended by them before enlistment. A brief rendezvous at Danville, the muster-in September 3, 1862, the equipment, the sad farewells, and the command moved to Cincinnati, thence across the Ohio to the heights above Covington on the “neutral” ground of Kentucky, where it relieved a provisional regiment of “squirrel hunters.” Here the troops began their first military duties. Hithereto they had been provided for by kind and patriotic friends, now they were dependent on the army ration, to be eaten as cooked by novices in the culinary art. Here drill and dress parade, guard and picket duty, and a semblance of discipline, were imposed upon all. Here, too, that scourge of camp life, the measels, broke out and a large number were so disabled as to necessitate their discharge, others lingered in hospital and died, while a few so far recovered as to be returned to their command. September 25, the Regiment was ordered to Louisville by transports, where it arrived after tedious delays on the night of the 27th. On the 28th it was put in Brigade with the Fifty-second Ohio commanding, which organization it maintained to the end of the service, with the addition, afterwards, of the Twenty-second Indiana and the One Hundred and Tenth Illinois. October 1, Buell’s pursuit of Bragg began. Overtaking him near Perryville on the 8th, there occurred the bloody battle of that name, and though not hotly engaged the Regiment had a splendid opportunity to witness the fierce struggle between others, get its first smell of hostile powder, and to observe the difference between the sharp, keen whistle of a minnie ball and the fierce shriek of shot and shell. Divided in two parts, it was all day supporting batteries, most of the time engaging the enemy. At near the close of the day the rebels made a desperate final charge on these batteries, but were handsomely repulsed by a strong line of infantry, and the Regiment was permitted to pursue flying fugitives, and swell the shouts of victory. After Perryville, a meandering march took the Regiment to Nashville, Tenn., November 7, 1862, afterwards to Mill Creek, and then back again to Nashville about December 10, where it remained as a part of the post forces until August, 1863, doing the various duties incident to post service. In the meantime the Regiment having good opportunity became thoroughly drilled. Here too those who had temporarily broken down on the Kentucky Campaign, or were disabled from sickness and not discharged, were brought up, and by the time the command was required to leave Nashville it was in fine soldierly condition. Forming a part of General Gorden GRANGER’s reserve Corps, the Regiment left Nashville August 3, 1863, for the front, full of stength and hope and with commendable ardor for honorable service. Rosecrans’ great army was in pursuit of Bragg and all available forces were to follow. The route of the Regiment took it through Franklin, Columbia, Athens, Huntsville, Bridgeport and over Lookout Mountain, to the battlefield of Chickamauga, where, on the morning of September 19, the whole Brigade came near being drawn in ambush and surrounded at Reed’s bridge. On the 20th, with General GRANGER’s Corps, supporting Thomas’ left, the Regiment was under fire all of Sunday afternoon, and also on Monday at Rossville Gap. Returning with the army to Chattanooga, and upon its subsequent reorganization, the Brigade was assigned to the Second Division of the Fourteenth Army Corps, commanded by General Jeff C. DAVIS, and was ever afterwards designated as the Third Brigade, and thereafter took honorable part in all the marches, battles, skirmishes and sieges of that justly famous Corps, but want of space forbids an attempt to particularize. The Regiment late in October, 1863, was encamped opposite the mouth of Chickamauga River and furnished daily details to guard Caldwells Fort. About a week before the battle of Missionary Ridge, two or three rebel batteries were silently planted on the south bluff of the Tennessee and in excellent range of the Regimental camp. Just at daylight the next morning and as if designed as an accompaniment to reveille these batteries opened a terrific fire hurling their shells in the midst of about 600 sleepy half dressed soldiers, not yet accustomed to so peremptory an order to “get up.” Their guns were soon silenced, however, by our own batteries, but not until they had killed the Regimental Chaplain (Levi W. SANDERS), wounded others, and made good hiding places at a premium for a few minutes. Crossing the Tennessee on Sherman’s pontoon November 21, the Regiment engaged in the battle of Missionary Ridge November 25 and 26. Pursuing the enemy to Ringgold, Ga., it marched next day towards Knoxville to aid Burnside going as far as the Little Tennessee, and learning that the enemy had raised the siege and fled, the Regiment returned. December 18, to Chattanooga nearbly barefoot and poorly clad, having accomplished a hard march in very severe weather. February 24 and 25, engaged in a reconnoissance with the main body of the army to Buzzard Roost Gap in front of Dalton, and returning encamped at McAfees Church and Lee and Gordons Mills until May 3, occupied mainly in preparing for the more brilliant and useful career still before it. Thorough drill and wholesome discipline had given the troops the splendid morals but now their best powers of endurance and highest courage were to be put to their severest test. The Atlanta Campaign was to begin, with the destruction of the rebel army for its objective point. SHERMAN put the Union forces in motion May 3, and the enemy’s resistance began at once. The Confederates under JOHNSON had a leader of such matchless skill that he was not likely to leave any vantage ground for a direct attack, and from Dalton to Jonesboro the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth had reason to know that his followers possessed the fighting qualities of heroes when the shock of battle came. Kenesaw Mountain was fought June 27, and the conspicuous part performed by the Regiment in that bloody conflict entitles it to some special mention. The Brigade charged in column of Regiment against Hardee’s strongly protected fortifications, the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth in advance, with supports on right and left. At a few minutes before 9 A. M., the command “forward” was given, and the lines moved with marked precision, first at quick and then at double-quick step, until, on reaching a descent they encoutered a marshy creek, lined on either side with shrubs and thickly matted vines. Already under the enemy’s fire, the command relieved itself as rapidly and orderly as possible from this confusion and again turning its face towards the foe, on and up the brave men rushed, with McCOOK, their gallant leader, at their head, until, first encountering a line of abattis, then of Cheval de frise, some of them gained the parapet and struggled to scale the works. Here McCOOK fell, mortally wounded, and Colonel HARMAN, taking instant command, sought to encourage the wavering hopes of his followers, and secure the victory that seemed so nearly and so worthily won, when a rebel bullet pierced his heart, and his remains were borne from the field. Shot and stoned down, completely exhausted by the distance covered and the impetuosity of the charge, the brave men who survived it reformed their lines a few steps to the rear, and partly under cover of the hill, where they immediately began the construction of earthworks. The loss to the Regiment was 120 killed and wounded in the short space of twenty minutes, nearly half of whom, including five officers, were killed outright, and four officers wounded. On the same day, Lieutenant Colonel LANGLEY, who had been serving on the Fourteenth Corps staff, assumed command of the Regiment, and Colonel DILWORTH, of the Eighty-fifth Illinois, of the Brigade. June 29th, the dead still lying in numbers between the lines, were in such a state of putrefaction as to have become offensive to both armies, when Colonel LANGLEY, with nothing whiter than a Chicago Tribune for a flag of truce, shook that red-hot war sheet in the face of the enemy until they ceased firing when a truce was arranged for the burial of the dead. On the morning of July 3, the enemy having been again “flanked out” of a position from which they could not be driven, the Regiment with others pursued through Marietta and on to the Chattahoochie River, where, July 5, it helped drive him inside his strong works. July 18, crossed the Chattahoochie on pontoon at Paces’ Ferry, advanced against strong skirmishing to Peach Tree Creek, where the Regiment fought on the 19th, and in a spirited charge at dusk drove the enemy from a very commanding height, and from this point on through the siege of Atlanta until the signal victory at Jonesboro September 1, the command was practically under fire every hour. At Jonesboro the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was the center and guide Regiment in the assault, the Twenty-second Indiana on the right, and Fifty-second Ohio on the left, with the Eighty-fifth, Eighty-sixth and One-Hundred and Tenth Illinois in second line. Just at the onset Colonel DILWORTH was severely wounded and the Brigade command fell to Lieutenant Colonel LANGLEY who led a most daring charge over the strong works and right into the heart of the enemy’s camp, capturing in connection with the Second Brigade on the left an entire rebel Brigade, its general and staff, numbering in all about 1,700 men and a battery of four guns. This movement in connection with others so effectually broke the enemy’s lines that he withdrew his remaining forces under the cover of night. Jonesboro proved the fall of Atlanta, for early next morning Hood moved out and with the Twentieth Corps our Slocum marched in. A short rest at Atlanta and the Regiment with the Division made a long and laborious raid as far as Florence, Ala., in pursuit of Forrest’s Cavalry, returning to Atlanta November 14, and on the 16th started with SHERMAN in his famous march to the sea. In which latter enterprise the Regiment did its full share of duty, procured and consumed its full share of subsistence. Another rest at Savannah and Sherman’s avenging hosts were turned loose on the “sacred soil” of South Carolina, and in thoroughly “subjugating” that State it would be safe to say the One Hundred and Twenty0fifth was behind no other regiment. In North Carolina its progress was checked on the 16th of March, 1865, at Averysboro, and stubbornly resisted on the 19th, 20th and 21st, at Bentonville. The fighting at the latter place, especially on the 19th, was very severe, a full share of which fell on the Regiment, when it not only well sustained its past reputation for courage, but justly added new laurels to its victorious crown. Goldsboro was reached March 23, and on the 10th of April, amid the shouts of joy over Richmond’s fall the last hostile march was begun and ended on the 26th day of the same month, with the surrender of Johnson and his entire army to the government whose authority they had defied and whose flag they had so wantonly insulted. A peaceful “on to Richmond” from the south, then to Washington, the “grand review,” the muster out June 9, 1865, the homeward ride to Chicago, the cordial welcome, the final payment and discharge, the good-by grasp of comrades whose souls were knit together and welded in the fires of battle were among the closing scenes of a great military drama, in which the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Infantry bore an honorable part. Henceforth it lives on in history and memory. The casualty list of the Regiment is exceptionally large and the graves of its honored dead mark its meandering march from Covington, Ky., to Raleigh, North Carolina, and with those of our revolutionary fathers will ever remain the heritage of a grateful and patriotic people. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com --WebTV-Mail-860-586--

HISTORY OF TENTH INFANTRY ADJUTANT GENERAL’S REPORT The TENTH ILLINOIS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY was one of the six Regiments called for by the Governor’s order of April 16, 1861. It was formed from the first four companies that reported at Springfield, April 20, 1861, which were ordered to Cairo on the 22d, and there, with three other Infantry and three Artillary companies, the Regiment was organized, and mustered by Captain John POPE, April 29, 1861, into the United States service for three months, with B. M. PRENTISS as Colonel, J. D. MORGAN, as Lieutenant Colonel, and Charles H. ADAMS as Major. The early promotion of PRENTISS to a Brigadiership made MORGAN Colonel, ADAMS Lieutenant Colonel, and John TILLSON Major. Thus organized, it remained at Cairo, doing garrison duty, during its three months’ service; twice making movements of reconnoissance, one toward Columbus, Ky., and again to Benton, Mo. It enlisted, and was mustered into the three years’ service, July 29, 1861, by Captain T. G. PITCHER at Cairo; thence was soon removed to Mound City, Ill., where it remained through the winter, taking part in January, 1862, in the movement of Grant’s forces toward Columbus and Paducah. In February it was stationed at Bird’s Point, Mo., and while there, March 1, had brisk engagement with Jeff THOMPSON’s troppers, near Sykeston, Mo., taking several prisoners and two field pieces. Attached in March to General POPE’s army, in Brigade composed of Tenth Illinois, Lieutenant Colonel TILLSON; Sixteenth Illinois, Colonel SMITH, and battalion of Yates Sharp Shooters, Lieutenant Colonel WILLIAMS, Colonel MORGAN commanding, in Division of General E. A. PAINE. It engaged in the seige of New Madrid. In a night movement, March 12th, advanced on the place, driving in the enemy’s pickets, establishing earthworks and planting four field pieces commanding the rebel forts, without raising alarm until daylight, when our fire opened. During next day, lay under fire of the enemy’s two forts and five gunboats; made sorties in which lost one Captain (CARR of Co. H,) and two men killed. The place was evacuated during the night, April 7th, crossed the river from New Madrid in the advance of POPE’s Army, intercepted rebels retreating from Island No. 10, bringing to surrender at Tiptonville General MACKALL with 2,500 men, resulting in the capture of about 6,000 men and a large amount of field artillery and small arms. On the 13th of April, embarked on a steamer for Forts Wright and Pillow; returned up Mississippi on 18th, and landed at Hamburg on the Tennessee, April 24. Took part in movements of POPE’s army in advance on Corinth. Had brisk fight May 3; forced passage through Four Mile Swamp, losing two men killed and five wounded, capturing 15, and killing an equal number of the enemy whom we found and buried. Entered Corinth May 30, and thence pursued the enemy at Booneville. Returned to Corinth and lay in camp at Big Springs during the month of June, and until 21st July, when marched to Tuscumbia, Ala. August 31 marched thence via Florence, Athens and Columbia, to Nashville; had five men killed by guerrillas on the march.

The Tenth lay at Beaufort from January 9th to 13th, when it moved with the division (Mower’s First Division) to Pocotaligo, on Charleston and Savannah Railroad. Remained there until the 30th, attempting on the 20th and 26th to cross the Salkahatchie, but failing on account of high water. On 30th moved up on right bank of river and effected a crossing at Rivers’ Bridge on the 3d, with a loss of 40 men, the Third Brigade, to which the Tenth was attached, being in the advance and losing about 125 men. The crossing was difficult and obstinately contested, the swamp, a mile wide, and with many streams to cross, the water ice-cold and from one to five feet deep. We were in it from 7 A.M., till dark. General HOWARD, who was present, pronounced it “the best thing of the war.” The regiment marched to Midway, on Augusta and Charleston Railroad; 9th, crossed South Edisto at Binicker’s Bridge, throwing a pontoon over in the face of the enemy, and wading, after dark, over one-third of a mile through the “lake,” took the position of the enemy in the flank, drove them from their entrenchments and captured several prisoners and one caisson. Passed with the army through Orangebury to Columbia, Winnsboro and Cheraw, skirmishing and destroying railroad, thence to Fayetteville on 11th March. There the regiment was detached to lay pontoon over Cape Fear River, which was done and lodgment effected for a brigade on opposite bank. The enemy’s cavalry was driven back with a loss to them of one Lieutenant and five men killed. Thence, with renewed skirmishing, we pushed toward Goldsboro, and when the Fourteenth Corps was attacked at Bentonville, we joined it by a forced nigh march, and took part in the battle of the 20th and 21st.
