Henry, after surrender of DOnelson, was
detailed to guard about 800 prisoners sent
on transport from Donelson to Alton. and
rejoined the regiment at Fort Henry. When
two gunboats were sent on a scout up the
Tennessee, Co. G went on one of them, and
at Pittsburg Landing went ashore, and
going into the country as far as Shiloh
Church got into an engagement with the
rebels, where Serg,t Essick was killed
the first man killed at ShilOh--we buried
him near the church. The company re-
turned to Fort Henry, and, subsequently,
with the regiment went back to pittsburg
Landing. and April q and Z, 1862, engaged
in that big fight. On the morning of April

rattle. but paid no attention to it till First
Lieutenant John Ethan Moore. gray

"No; we are attacked he said, and he ran
to the drummer's tent and ordered the long
roll. The 3D. Iowa took up the long roll
and it went down the line.
Then there was a scramble for guns, and

we advanced we met wounded coming in
At small opening we were halted; didn't
have long to stand there. The rebels came
down a road four abreast. One of the
boys said: "There are the Butternuts.'

AS the General passed the Colonel he said

Ell to lie down. They were trying in con
fusion to get into line of battle, and the
Colonel waited till they got strung out to
about what would cover our front, when
orders were given: Make ready. aim

could see under it there was not man
standing in our front.
1t seems that at that time we were the
extreme left of our army. and that there
was quite a space left between us and the
river. We were ordered to fall back. left

we fell back again. The rebels got cross
fire on u.s. and the regiment lost heavily.

No. the regiments Of Willich's Brigade
were not of the class that became demon
allied. Gen. Which was an officer wor-
shipped by his command, whether the 32d
Ind. or the brigade. He was always
ready to care for the welfare of those uli-
der him, and never shirked known duty.
That was demonstrated when he took
command OF the 32d as Colonel. When
ordered by the Governor to take his regi-
ment to Louisville, he protested against
going without arms. The Governor said
IF you wish. ! will withdraw the orderT'
Which replied: NO, Governor, my regi-
meDt will go at once" He was always
ready to act his part as best he could.
On that eventful morning, Dec. 81, he
was returning from Division Headquar-
tiers, when he rode into the lines of an at.
lacking party and was captured, the whole
line having been swept across the Open
field, in front Of his brigade.
The lines were formed by the fence
which was near the creek, until We were
forced across the creek and beyond, thus
separating many from their regiments

Ii l remember rightly, we took part in
the saving Of II wagon train which Gen
Wheeler's cavalry had captured, and were
about to destroy because they could no,
take it with them. That afternoon part
of the division recaptured some cannon
