thence to Tipton, Mo., and then joined Gen. Fremont's army. Marched from there
to Springfield, Mo.; thence back to Tipton; then to Sedalia, with Gen. Pope, and
assisted in the capture of 1,300 of the enemy a few miles from the latter place,
then marched to Otterville, Mo., where it went into winter quarters Dec. 26,
1861. Remained there until Feb. 1, 1862. Then marched to Jefferson City; thence
to St. Louis by rail; embarked on transports for Fort Donelson, arriving there

The regiment was then assigned to the Fourth Division, Gen. Hurlbut commanding,
and marched to Fort Henry. Then embarked on transports for Pittsburg Landing.

arriving there July 21, 1862, and remained there until September 6th. Then
marched to Bolivar; thence to the Hatchie river, and participated in the battle

veterans, remaining until Feb. 1, 1864; when it moved with Gen. Sherman through
Mississippi. On Champion Hills had a severe engagement with rebel Carney.

At Allatoona Pass the Fifteenth and the Fourteenth Infantry were consolidated,
and the organization was known as the Veteran Battalion Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Illinois Infantry Volunteers, and numbering 625 men. From Allatoona Pass it
proceeded to Ackworth, and was then assigned to duty, guarding the Chattanooga
and Atlanta Railroad. Whilst engaged in this duty, the regiment being scattered
along the line of road, the rebel Gen. Hood, marching north, struck the road at
Big Shanty and Ackworth, and captured about 300 of the command. The remainder
retreated to Marietta, were mounted and acted as scouts for Gen. Vandever. They
were afterwards transferred to Gen. F. P. Blair, and marched with Gen. Sherman
through Georgia.

to Salkahatchie river, participating in the various skirmishes in that
vicinity-Columbia, S. C., Fayetteville, N. C. battle of Bentonville-losing a

The Ninety-second Regiment Infantry Illinois Volunteers was organized at
Rockford, Illinois, and mustered into United States' service September 3, 1862.
It was composed of five companies from Ogle County, three from Stephenson
County, and two from Carroll County.
The Regiment left Rockford, October 11, 1862, with orders to report to General
Wright, at Cincinnati, where it was assigned to General Baird's Division, Army
of Kentucky. It marched immediately into the interior of the state, and, during
the latter part of October, was stationed at Mt. Sterling, to guard that place
against rebel raids, and, afterwards, at Danville, Kentucky. On 26th January,
1863, the Regiment with General Baird's Division, was ordered to the Army of the
Cumberland. Arriving at Nashville, the command moved to Franklin, Tennessee, and
was engaged in the pursuit of the rebel General Van Dorn. Advanced to
Murfreesboro, and occupied Shelbyville, June 27. On July 5, , Duck River. July
6, was ordered by General Rosencrans to be mounted, and, armed with the Spencer
rifle, and attached to Colonel Wilder's Brigade of General Thomas' Corps where
it remained while General Rosencrans had command. The Regiment crossed the
mountains at Dechard, Tennessee, and took part in the movements opposite and
above, Chattanooga, when it re-crossed the mountains, and joined General Thomas,
at Trenton, Alabama.
On the morning of 9th September, it was in the advance to Chattanooga, and
participated in driving the rebels from Point Lookout, and entered the rebel
strong-hold, unfolding the Union banner on the Crutchfield House, and kept in
pursuit of the rebels. At Ringgold, Georgia, was attacked by a Brigade of
Cavalry, under command of General Forrest, and drove them from the town, killing
and wounding a large number.
During the Chicamauga Battle, the Regiment took part in General Reynolds'
Division, of Genera; Thomas Corps. In April, 1864, it was again at Ringgold,
Georgia, doing picket duty.
April 23, Captain Scovil, with twenty-one men, were captured at Nickajack Gap,
nine miles from Ringgold, and one man killed. Of the men, thus taken prisoner,
twelve were shot down, and six died from wounds, after being taken prisoners.
The remainder were taken to Andersonville; and very few ever left that place,
having died from the cruel treatment received there.
From ringgold, May 7, 1864, the Regiment entered upon the Atlanta Campaign, and
was assigned to General Kilpatrick's command, and participated in the battles of
Resaca, raid around Atlanta, Bethesada, Fleet River Bridge, and Jonesboro. The
regiment lost, at Jonesboro, one fifth of the men engaged. From Mont Gilead
Church, west of Atlanta, October 1, the Regiment moved, and took active part in
the operations against Hood's Army. At Powder Springs, it had a severe
engagement, losing a large number of men, killed and wounded. The Regiment then
returned to Marietta, and participated in the various engagements and skirmishes
in Sherman's march to the sea. At Swift Creek, N.C., Captain Hawk, Company C,
was severely wounded, losing a leg.
The Regiment, during its term of service, was in some forty battles, and
skirmishes. It was mustered out at Concord, North Carolina, and paid and
discharged from the service at Chicago, Illinois, July 10, 1865:

The war ended and peace restored, the Union preserved in its integrity those
sons of Carroll who had volunteered their lives in defence of their government,
who were spared to see the army of the Union victorious, returned to their homes
to receive grand ovations and tributes of honor from friends and neighbors who
had eagerly and jealously followed them wherever the fortunes of war called.
Exchanging their soldiers' uniforms for citizens' dress, they fell back to their
old avocations-on the farm, at the forge, the bench, in the shop, and at
whatever else their hands found to do. Brave men are honorable always, and no
class of Carroll's citizens are entitled to greater respect than the volunteer
soldiery, not alone because they were soldiers in the hour of their country's
peril, but because in their associations with their fellow-men their walk is
upright, and their honesty and character without reproach.
DAME'S RESOLUTIONS.
In 1863, D. W. Dame, of Lanark, was chosen to represent the people of Carroll
County in the popular branch of the general seesmbly of the state. On the 18th
day of January, 1865, Mr. Dame introduced the following series of resolutions,
which are copied into these pages as showing the true spirit of the people of
the county he represented. These resolutions are clear and expressive, and the
sentiment they represented in 1865 is just as full and strong in 1878 as when
first spread upon the house journal:
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives, representing the people of
the State of Illinois in General Assembly. That the deepest sympathies of the
whole people of Illinois are with the families and friends of the following
brave and gallant officers. [Then followed a statement of number of regiment,
names of officers, rank, date of death, cause of death]. And with those of the
numerous line officers, and the host of non-commissioned officers and privates,
who have gloriously fallen upon the battle-field, during the progress of the
present war, in defence of their imperiled country and its free institutions;
and we hereby tender to them, one and all, the assurance that their noble dead
are not and shall not be forgotten; and that we shall ever tenderly cherish
their memories and be proud of their noble deeds, whilst we deeply and sincerely
condole with those who mourn for their loved and lost.
Resolved, That our soldiers in the field, who so nobly responded to their
country's call in the hour of her peril are entitled to the gratitude of the
state. Living, they shall know a nation's gratitude; wounded, a nation's care;
and, dying, they shall forever live in the memory of every true patriot, their
widows and children become the objects of the nation's guardianship and watchful
care, while posterity shall delight to erect monuments to perpetuate the
remembrance of their names and virtues.
Resolved, That the secretary of state transmit to the officers commanding the
several regiments and other organizations from this state now in the service of
the country, copies of the foregoing resolutions, with a request that they be
read to their respective commands; and that copies be also transmitted to the
families of the field officers named in these resolutions.
Mr. Payne submitted the following amendment:
That the name of every line officer of Illinois regiments killed in the service,
or who has died at home from diseases or wounds received in the service, be
added to said roll.
Which amendment was accepted by Mr. Dame.
Mr. Streville moved to further amend by inserting:
That the secretary of state be directed to send a copy of said resolution to
Illinois soldiers wherever referred to the committee on militia.
