The One Hundred And Thirtyninth Illinois Infantry

On the 2d day of March, 1864, Gen. U. S. Grant was chosen Commander-in-chief of the Armies of the United States. Congress revived the high ranli of Lieutenant General, and this was conferred upon him. A grand army of seven hundred thousand trained men was placed at his command. The line of battle extended from Virginia to Texas. A plan for a vigorous campaign during the coming Summer and Fall was soon decided upon. All the available forces were to be concentrated into two grand divisions. The first, under Gen. Meade, commanding the Army of the Potomac, was to advance against Richmond. The second, under Gen. Sherman, was to start from Chattanooga, Tennessee, and march upon Atlanta, Georgia, and thence to the sea. In order to guarantee the success of these two expeditions, it was found necessary to concentrate all the available forces. Still, many points were to be garrisoned in the rear of these advancing columns. And in order that the veteran soldiers might be released from garrison duty, the President issued a call for volunteers to serve for one hundred days. In response to this call, the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Picgiment Illinois Volunteers was formed. It was mustered into the service at Peoria on the 1st day of June, 1864. Maj. Peter Davison, of Peoria, was unanimously chosen Colonel of the regiment. Only a few days were given to complete the minutije of organization. And, accordingly, on the 8th of .June, the regiment marched aboard the steamer "Schuyler," "bound for Dixie." Arriving at St. Louis on the 10th, we spent the night at Beuton Barracks, and the next day marched aboard the steamer Platte Valley, and proceeded on our way to the next point of destination, which was Columbus, Ky. Here we remained about a week, and then moved' back to Cairo as a garrison for that place. Here the regiment remained with but little to disturb the monotony of camp life until the middle of August. About the 1st of August, a guerilla party had captured some steamboats a short distance above Paducah, and took from them several hundred cattle and horses. Gen. Payne, who was commanding the Department of Northern Kentucky, ordered Col. Davison to take four hundred of his men and go and take from the rebel farmers living in the counties adjoining the river where the capture was made as many cattle and horses as had been taken from the boats. Some of the stock was recaptured, and enough others taken as directed to make good the loss, Two or three of the ringleaders of the guerilla party were also captiired. After the return from this expedition, the regiment remained at Cairo doing garrison duty until the 25th of September. It was then ordered to Peoria to be mustered out of the service. But the time had not come yet. Gen. Price with a large rebel force was marching toward St. Louis, and there were not enough troops to defend it that could be spared from other places. President Lincoln sent a dispatch to Col. Davison requesting him to take his regiment and go at once to St. Louis. The President was aware the regiment had already served beyond the time for which it was enlisted. As soon as the circumstances were explained to the men, they were ready to go. For this prompt response, the President wrote a letter to the men of the regiment expressing his thanks and commending ihem for their patriotism.

We soon arrived in St. Louis and pushed out in the direction of Franklin to meet Gen. Price. Whether it was because he heard that the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth was coming, or for some other cause, the writer never learned ; but so it was, that the rebel General soon decided it was to his advantage to move to the southern part of the State. We followed as fast as possible, but failed to catch him. Having driven him to a remote part of the State, we were again ordered to Peoria, where we were mustered out of the service on the 2.5th of October, 1864, having been in the service nearly five months.

Cavalry

The Eleventh Illinois Cavalty was recruited at Camp Lyon, Peoria, 111., in the months of September, October and November, 1861, from Peoria, Fulton, Knox and Woodford Counties. Tazewell and Logan Counties furnished one company. The regiment was mustered into the service of the United States December 20, 1861 ; was kept under close discipline until about the '2d of February, 1862, when the regiment was ordered to Benton Barracks, Missouri, where the regiment continued drill and saber exercise till about the 20th of March, when it was ordered to report to Gen. Grant, at Pittsburg Landing, where the regiment arrived one week before the battle at Shiloh, at which battle the Eleventh took part ; and after the battle, was on the famous long march on Corinth. After the evacuation of that place, the Eleventh was stationed there for a short time, guarding the lines of railroads leading to that place. From there it was ordered to Jackson, Tenn., and put on same duty, till early in the Spring of 1863, when it was ordered to Grand Junction ; in Fall of 1863, was ordered to Vicksburg. The Eleventh was in active service from the time of landing at Pittsburg Landing, in the Spring of 1862, until mustered out of service. The principal battles in which this regiment was engaged were the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, luka, Lexington, Tenn ; Parker's Cross Roads, Tenn., and many small engagements with what were called bushwhackers.
