The snow was wet and heavy; it\\nstuck to the limbs of the trees. The bushes and saplings were\\nbent, in some places, to the ground and across the road. The\\nsnow was some six or seven inches deep. It was slavish march-\\ning at best, and for those without shoes it was dreadful. The\\n26th, about noon, we reached Mount Yernon. Here some of\\nthe men bought shoes at the stores. Just after noon we started\\nout on the Somerset Road, and went into camp about sundown;\\nthat is, we marched out into a meadow and stacked arms, the\\nsnow being almost up to the locks of the guns. I had never\\nseen a night coming on that promised so little in the way of\\ncomfort, and yet we got a good night s rest. The men procured\\nboards and scraped away the snow. We went about a third of\\na mile, and carried over a lot of shock fodder. Oiders had been\\ngiven to take none but the top rail from the fence, and it was\\nastonishing how top rails turned out. There were plenty of rails\\nto run all night long. The regiment was doubled, so one-half\\nof it would be on one side of the fire, and the other half on the\\nother side. Each company kept a man up all the while to keep\\nthe fire going, and to see that no sparks got into the fodder.

Therefore, we have mainly aimed to record the\\nacts of the regiment, and suggest that all items of this character,\\ntogether with many things that have escaped the attention of the\\nauthor, and that should have appeared in this book, be carefully\\nwritten out, and delivered to the regimental historian for any\\nfuture use.\\n9", "height": "3333", "width": "2095", "jp2-path": "historyofthirtyf00smit_0133.jp2"}, "134": {"fulltext": "", "height": "3395", "width": "2080", "jp2-path": "historyofthirtyf00smit_0134.jp2"}, "135": {"fulltext": "ROSTER\\nOF THE\\nThirty-First Regiment of Indiana\\nVolunteer Infantry.", "height": "3333", "width": "2095", "jp2-path": "historyofthirtyf00smit_0135.jp2"}, "136": {"fulltext": "", "height": "3395", "width": "2080", "jp2-path": "historyofthirtyf00smit_0136.jp2"}, "137": {"fulltext": "Tin J hirty-p /rsf fiidldiKi /i/t/tnicvi.\\nl. i. i\\nc\\nW\\nW\\nP^\\nH\\nC\\nI\u00e2\u0080\u0094\\nt\u00e2\u0080\u0094\\n(\u00e2\u0080\u00941\\nEh\\nH /I\\no5\\n0/ CO\\n.T3\\n_ tt\\n3 7; i\\nfc, O 0^\\n.-H CI CO\\ncc oc\\n51 Tl\\nrH CI eO lO\\nCO 03 ZO\\ncc cc cc a.\\nCI I- ic CO\\nCO S\\nCD\\nC-l O-\\nr:\\nGO\\nS 3 CO S\\nO 1/ 1/ 1^ l/\\nUJ-C^ 5 :7, h-i H- I-;\\nCO -]y o\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2^1 i\\nC 1, -1- O\\nx!;;~i5::^5s\\ni5\u00c2\u00a3:\\nr.\\n-H Tl CO CO\\nCO CO xi CO\\nc/: v: -x v.\\np I X I\\nfi\\n1 CO CO\\nI CO CO\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0x -x\\nr^ CI\\nCO CO\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0x cc\\noT 0/ 5 3 57i,5\\nO; ^fa h- r/;;\\nK5f-^\\n-J tx.\\nusa\\nCO\\nX\\nS CD\\nCI CO\\nCO CD\\nCO\\n2\\n3 S\\n-X X\\nCl\\ncoco\\n-X X\\n71\\n1\\nr\\nCO\\n1 1\\nCl\\np.os\\ny,\\n73\\nI-; h^\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0xS\\nCl Cl CO CO -fi lO --Cl\\nCO CD CD CO CD CO CO CD CO\\nX X Xj X X X X OG X\\n^l-CIOC-H CD I -CIO CO Ci\\nir-- oji iC i t:^\\nHmcQcq xhS -^hpsS P h3:S^^ h ^xx\\nOt-: H;\\n--5\\n;j u .7, cj ;ju -r i; f DS\\n;X|J .-.EiJ 5i^_:\\ni-^^Zo Ota", "height": "3333", "width": "2095", "jp2-path": "historyofthirtyf00smit_0137.jp2"}, "138": {"fulltext": "134\\no\\nO\\nI\\n(0\\ncc\\nUJ\\nUJ\\nI-\\nz\\nD\\n_l\\no\\nZ\\nQ\\nZ\\nI-\\nz\\nThe Thirty-Jirst Indiana Regmient\\nCO O\\nci\\nG\\nr1\\n03\\no\\nOJ\\no\\nbL\\nPhPw\\noi C\\nbC\\nQP4\\no o\\nbe be\\nxl\\nd S\\nOQCQ\\nPi 3\\ns3 si\\n-s\\n_cc .2\\nO C fl ^.o\\nP O O 05 fl-\\nO\\nS\\nc^ 1^\\nO S fe CI o\\ng .be g\\nO o o Sp O\\ni^ O) H\\n505 _\\nIs! 0) oT\\na; oi\\no G C\\nS_bc_bJD\\nQ [K cc\\ndj 0)\\nOS\\nCI CO Tfi\\nCO CD CD\\nCO GC GC\\nOh,;?;\\nOQ^\\n00\\nCD CO CO\\ncx; 00 00\\nCO\\nCD CO\\n00 00\\n1^ T-H C-l\\nCD CD CD\\nCC 00 00\\nS2\\n(M CO Tfl\\nCD CD CD\\nCO 00 CC\\nOI-50\\nCI 10\\nCD CO CO\\nCO 00 00\\nmO\\n-H CO -tff\\nCO CO CO\\nOC CC GO\\nCI CI CI CO tH\\nCD CO CO CD CD CD\\nCC CC X 00 00 00\\nT T ^+j\\ni^\\n(P O-r-\\nO 1=1\\nq; O O\\n-r oi\\n-5 OJ O\\nOj O\\ns\\nS bE\\ncj 0/ O) l\\nO H HO\\n5\\n0- ci a:\\naj o S\\nO .r^\\noj 75\\nS\\nOJ cs\\nOpq\\nSh;\\n[B O) r-\\ncc S^\\nSr:: =s\\nf^ M .ti\\n5 o; ct ai\\n_; S\\nI r^ r^ r^ Qj\\nr\u00e2\u0080\u0094 I rH r^ C-\\nS CS a^^^\\ntS r-l\\n0:7:0", "height": "3395", "width": "2080", "jp2-path": "historyofthirtyf00smit_0138.jp2"}, "139": {"fulltext": "In the War of the RehelUon.\\n185\\n.T3\\nct\\nft q.^ a a\\n-t^ -(J O +J 4J\\no o ;2 o o\\n5 3 f^ S c\\nin S^ I i^ ii\\npLn a^ ;Di 0.J il^\\nO 1=1 o\\nt^ K tH\\nrlo\\nCO ai\\n^3 ST\\nbCbC\\nrn rfj\\nT3 ci a\\nO O G\\n5 3\\n1h I, OJ\\n2-1 P- P^\\nS CD\\nX 00\\nI n M ti lO\\nCD CD CD\\nX X X CC OC X\\nI C^l M CO lO\\nCD CD CO CD CO CD\\nX X X X X X\\nI M\\n(:D CO CD\\nX X X\\n\u00e2\u0080\u0094I fM C-l\\nCD CO CD CD\\nX X X X\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0^-l^x\\nO O G S\\ni 2.2 i\\np\u00c2\u00ab P- pj\\nCD CD\\nXX\\nCO CO\\nX X\\nM 10\\nCD CD CD\\nXXX\\nCD CD\\nXX\\n-M CO\\nCD CD\\nX X\\n1\u00e2\u0080\u0094 I r-i\\nCO-*\\nCD COCO\\nXXX\\n1\u00e2\u0080\u0094 1 rH 1\u00e2\u0080\u0094 1\\n01 CO\\nCO CD CD S\\nX X X X\\n1 -M CO CO\\nCO CD CO CD\\nX X X X\\noT\\nlO-H\\nCO -H 05\\n10\\nCOtM\\n10 T-H\\niO C^l --H\\nicri -fi rr\\nC/2O\\nMay\\nNov.\\nJune\\niu6\\nSept.\\nJan.\\nNov.\\nSept.\\nOct.\\nJan.\\nNov.\\nSept.\\nOct.\\nJan.\\nMarcl\\n\u00e2\u0080\u0094H 71 \u00e2\u0080\u00a2M CO 10\\nCD CO CO CD CD\\n1\u00e2\u0080\u0094 I 10 Oi\\nft 2 ft\\nt; tn l^ r-\\n0; o ft ft a 3\\na; o a;\\noj y o 0)\\nft*-* s c\\nCO CZi\\n7; N N\\n2-9 3^0\\n.is:.-\\nc -J o\\nP3 J 1^ r^^ 1-5 r?\\nC S o U D\\nS rSJ :7s\\na; Qi K\\n.^r -u _^ _K(;\\no^^ \u00c2\u00ab:i o o\\n;^oaa\\no J- c; o\\nfl S C c\\no a; 1;\\nft,-r ft ft\\nr-rS\\n3 i-.\\nSC\\n3 O\\nPh\\nI S g c 2\\ny 3\\nr\\nH w t-\\n2 r/} 0^\\nOQ\\n^S^- ;3\\n3 O\\ns\\na.\\ni.

O, the lies, the lies, that were told to make me the\\nscapegoat to bear off the criminal mistakes of others in connec-\\ntion with that awful first day! It took General Grant about a\\nquarter of a century to work himself up to an admission that I\\nwas blameless. But think, my brave comrade, think of what\\nI suffered in the meantime! Think, too, that the slanders have\\ngone into history, and may never be corrected!\\nAs to the first day on the field, I never permit myself to\\nspeak of it critically; for not having been there myself, I am\\nalways afraid of doing some other soldier the wrong that was so\\ncruelly inflicted on me.\\nIt was nearly, if not quite nine o clock in the morning when\\nGeneral Grant passed my boat going from Savannah to Pitts-\\nburg Landing.

It was soon decided that it was\\ncheaper for iis to go round by water, and so morning found us\\nagain at Paducah, where we lay all day. It was the way things\\nwere done that winter- all movements were slow, and nothing\\nwas done till the fifty-ninth minute of the eleventh hour.\\nLate at night we steamed away, and daylight found us as-\\ncending the Cumberland. All day men and officers were at the\\nheight of Inirth and jollity, for it was the first nice traveling\\nour brigade had had. The weather was delightful, and soldiers\\nsoon form the habit of enjoying the present good without thought\\nof the doubtful morrow. We were paraded on the upper deck,\\nand arms and ammunition thoroughly inspected. Our mag-\\nnificent band played inspiring tunes, and all the soldiers danced\\nand sang and shouted till they were hoarse. I came down into\\nthe cabin, and there the surgeons had their instruments laid out\\nfor inspection on the long table knives, saws, tourniquets,\\neverything indicating dreadful work at hand. A sudden revul-\\nsion of feeling overcame me. I turned cold around the heart\\nat thought of a dreadful wound and possible amputation.\\nWith the night came an awful change. In two hours the\\nmercury must have fallen twenty degrees. I had to stand guard\\non the lower deck, and there was a cold and driving rain which\\nchanged to sleet. As the boat turned this way and that with\\nthe windings of the stream, the sleet drove across the open space\\nin almost horizontal lines, and soon my overcoat was solid with\\nice. Daylight showed three or four inches of snow. All fore-\\nnoon we toiled getting the material oif the boats, and at noon\\nentered on the march, with the officers exhorting us to speed for\\nthe sound of cannonading at Donelson showed but too clearly\\nthat actual business had begun. Over abrupt hills and through\\nheavily-timbered hollows, nearly bootleg deep in places with\\nmud and water, we toiled on till, reaching a hollow which led\\ndirectly to the fort, we heard the cannonading as loud and clear\\nas if it were but a mile away.\\nTurning to the right, we rose to a narrow level, and a mile or\\nso farther began to pass behind our first line of battle.

I have enjoyed the\\nhand-organ for hours, and endured boarding-school practice;\\nbut I never heard music that felt in the knees like that. The\\nhalf- jocular bravado of some of the men, to my mind, showed\\nfear as plainly as the silence of others. I kept my feelings to\\nmyself, determined that no matter how badly I got scared no-\\nbody should know it.

Raw pork and cold crackers were\\nsoon dispatched, and we were in line for orders. And now the\\nwoods in front and the road to our right were lively with\\nmounted orderlies, small detachments of soldiers, and batteries\\nhurrying to their places in the line.

Ambulances passed back filled with wounded,\\nand now and then an artillery horse limped by, shot in the hip\\nor shoulder, but sometimes with a ghastly seam along the side.\\nThen came the order, To the right, and take position with\\nPorter s Battery. We started on the run, and kept it up for\\nabout two miles; but, as General Shackleford afterward told me,\\nhis guide directed him too far to the left, so we missed Porter s\\nBattery entirely, and halted on a ridge toward which the main\\nforce of the rebels was advancing, and I think our brigade was", "height": "3395", "width": "2080", "jp2-path": "historyofthirtyf00smit_0204.jp2"}, "205": {"fulltext": "Appendix. 201\\nthe end of the Union line to the east. The Seventeenth and\\nTwenty-fifth Kentucky moved at once to the summit of the\\nridge, and opened fire vigorously, while our half of the brigade,\\nthe Thirty-first and Forty-fourth Indiana, lay flat in the snow\\nbehind them and a little down the slope. We had passed behind\\nthe Thirty-first Illinois, and I saw three men lying right by our\\nroad my first look at men killed in battle. They lay on their\\nbacks, each with a bullet-hole in his forehead. I was struck\\nwith the singularly peaceful expression on each face.\\nWounded Kentuckians soon passed our line in considerable\\nnumbers, some not making a sound, others groaning, and one\\nshrieking dreadfully, and I took notice that the one making the\\nmost noise was a mere boy with a shattered arm. Our Captain\\nWatterman had just passed behind us, saying that in a minute\\nor two we should move to the right of the Kentuckians, and I\\nwas still looking in the direction pointed by his sword when\\nsuddenly there was a grand crash and roar through the deep\\n^voods, as if heaven and earth were coming together. A big\\nbody of rebels had come close into our right, and partially in\\ncmr rear. I saw the Kentuckian on the extreme right throw his\\ngun high in the air, and fall back dead. The next man gave one\\nglance, and turned to flee. The line broke, and both regiments\\ncame rushing back right over us. In less time than it takes to\\ntell it, we were up and after them, all rank and order lost, offi-\\ncers and men, Kentuckians and Indianians, all in a mass, and\\nthus we ran to the bottom of the slope.\\nThe line officers rushed with drawn swords among the men,\\nwho soon fell into ranks from mere habit, and, with a sponta-\\nneous feeling of shame, began to check their retreat. Colonel\\nBristow came down on us shouting phrases which he assuredly\\nnever learned in Sunday-school. Aide-de-camp Terry galloped\\nin with a message from General Cruft of the Thirty-first, and\\nshouted: Come on, Indiana! I m only a boy; but I 11 go at\\nthe head!

On the ridges there was tall timber\\nwithout underbrush; but down the slope the latter grew thickly,\\nso I could see nothing. A few scattering shots were fired as the\\nvolleys of the advancing rebels began to strike the trees; but\\nstern orders were given to wait for the word. It came soon.\\nReady! I gazed down into the thicket, and saw no man; but\\nthe bushes moving, and an occasional puff of smoke. Aim!\\nI drew down my gun about where I thought the middle of a\\nman would be in those bushes. Fire! There was a terrific\\ncrash as two thousand rifles went oft and after it a wild yell of\\nexultation from our line. Our blood was up. Shame and anger\\nhad cast out fear. For a minute or two there was firing at will,\\nand then our little battle was over. The smoke rose slowly, and\\nthere was an almost oppressive silence for a few minutes.

Physically\\nhe was small in stature, rather below the medium; but he had\\nthe strength and courage of his convictions, and was not the man\\nto be quiet when wrong was being perjDetrated. He was gentle\\nin manner as a child, and had a heart soft and tender as that of\\na woman. We doubt if he had a real enemy in the world. With\\nneither the disposition or faculty for hoarding, ever willing to\\ndivide his last cent or last hardtack with those in need, it was a\\nnatural consequence that he never accumulated largely of this\\nworld s goods; but he was rich in the love of many a genuine\\nfriend. He may have had his weaknesses his faults, if you\\nwill but if so, they were such as neither degraded him nor in-", "height": "3333", "width": "2095", "jp2-path": "historyofthirtyf00smit_0219.jp2"}, "220": {"fulltext": "216 The Thirty-jvrst Indiana Regiment.\\njured his friends. He was modest in bearing, pure in life, never\\nprofane, was strictly temperate in his habits; in a word, he was\\n^n example of those virtues that characterize the true man and\\ncro\\\\vn the real hero.\\nColonel Neff loved his family and his home. In the field, in\\ncamp, or on the march, it mattered not where, he never forgot\\nAmanda Fanis ISTeff or little Kenton; he was never unfaithful\\nto his marital vows. Xo tale of questionable romance or scandal\\never smirched his character. His native goodness added to his\\ngreatness. He was married to Miss Amanda Farris, of Bloom-\\nington, Indiana, in the summer of 1854, who survived him. It\\ncan be said, without fear of any kind of successful contradiction,\\nthat the Thirty-firet Regiment had a well-established reputation\\nof being reliable. It was seldom sent on any mission that it did\\nnot accomplish, or make it self-evident that the work could not\\nbe done. Not only so, but the work was done on time. How\\nmany failures resulted from the fact that some one was too slow,\\nor some commander was too fast It was not so with the Thirty-\\nfirst, and the regiment in this respect was Colonel Neff. A few\\ndays before his death. General Stanley came and said he was\\nordered to take a certain ridge that lay immediately in our front,\\nand which was held by a strong skirmish-line of the enemy, who\\nwas well fortified by the use of intrenchments, or gopher-holes.\\nThe General said it could not be taken without gTeat loss, and\\nhe regretted to have one of his best regiments cut up; but it\\nbeing immediately in our front, he could not well send in any\\nother command. After a little consultation, the General was\\ntold that if we could take our own time and way we would cheer-\\nfully undertake the work. When is your time? asked the\\nGeneral, and we answered, To-morrow morning at daylight.\\nAll right, he replied; take it to-morrow morning in your own\\nway. This ridge was about midway between the lines of the\\ncontending annies, and near the north end of the ridge was a\\nsugar-loaf hill of considerable size. After dark Neff and I ex-\\nplored this hill, and while the Confederates had a gopher hole\\nwithin twenty-five yards, they were not in possession of the hill.\\nSo he proposed to take his old Company D, go in and fortify", "height": "3395", "width": "2080", "jp2-path": "historyofthirtyf00smit_0220.jp2"}, "221": {"fulltext": "Appendix. 217\\nthe hill, and this he did. Just how a man could take a company\\nand dig a trench, throw up an embankment within twenty-five\\nyards of twenty or thirty men, gather dry weeds and cover the\\nfresh earth, and not attract .attention, is a matter more easily con-\\nceived than executed. Just before daylight the regiment was\\nmoved out by platoons within seventy-five yards of the enemy,\\nand lay down in an open field, to await the next move on the\\ncheckerboard by Netf. At six o clock the bugle in the rear was\\nsounded, and ISTeff immediately opened fire on the enemy s line,\\nwho were wonderfully surprised to find bullets coming from that\\nhill, and after giving them a round or two the firing ceased, and\\nwithki a minute the regiment was at the gopher-holes, and we\\ncaptured about as many men as we had in the regiment, without\\ngetting a man hurt.
