THIRTY-FIFTH INFANTRY

Pg 564

         This regiment was mustered into service Sept. 18, 1862, and Nov 22 left Muscatine, Iowa, for Cairo, Ill., where it arrived on the 24th. Five companies were ordered to Columbus, Ky., under command of Lieut. Col. Rothrock, the balance of the regiment being relieved from duty at Cairo by the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth Regiment, Dec. 29; the balance of the Thirty-fifth Regiment was ordered to Columbus Feb. 3, 1863; a part of the regiment was ordered to proceed to Island No. 10, but returned on the 5th.

         April 12, 1863, the regiment was ordered to report at Duckport, La., where they arrived April 18, and left May 2, under the command of Gen. Sherman.

On May 14, participated in the battle at Jackson, Miss., thence marched on Vicksburg, where they were hotly engaged most of the time during the siege of that place.

         July 5, 1863, left camp on Bear River for Jackson, Miss., after the evacuation of which by the enemy on the 16th the regiment was engaged in destroying the railroads in and around Jackson. Left Jackson July 20 for Clinton, Miss., escorting 600 prisoners of war, and went into Camp at Bear Creek, Miss., July 26th.

         On the 15th of October the regiment left camp in a scouting expedition under McPherson, returning to camp within eight miles of Vicksburg Oct. 20, 1863. Left here Nov. 7, and reached LaGrange, Tenn., Nov. 21. Jan. 25, 1864, the regiment repaired to Memphis to take part in Sherman's raid to Meridian, but on account of delay in transportation reached Vicksburg too late to join Sherman.

Pg 565

         Remained in camp there till March 10, when they took boats to join Banks' expedition into upper Louisiana. March 21 and 22, 1864, the regiment engaged in a sharp fight at Bayou Rapids, twenty-two miles from Alexandria, La.

         April 9 the regiment was engaged at Pleasant Hill, and showed great coolness and bravery. Their loss in killed, wounded and missing was sixty-four. May 18, 1864, the regiment again met the enemy at Bayou de Glaize, La., and on June 6 they fought at Old River Lake, Ark., and later were in the battles before Nashville, and served their country nobly to the end of the war, and were mustered out of service at Davenport, Iowa, Aug. 10, 1865.
