119th Illinois Infantry

Regiment History

Adjutant General's Report

The One Hundred and Nineteenth Infantry was organized at Quincy, in September,
1862, and was mustered into the United States service, October 10, by Lieutenant K.
Knox, of the United States Army. It was recruited from the counties of Adams, Brown,
Hancock, McDonough and Schuyler. Thomas J. Kinney, Captain of Company B, was
elected Colonel, and no man in the Regiment ever found cause to regret this selection.
He was brave, generous, considerate and reliable under all circumstances.
The latter part of October the Regiment moved under orders, by transport, to
Columbus, Kentucky, and from thence to Jackson, Tennessee. From this point we
were stationed at different points along the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, guarding the
lines of communication. In December, General Forrest made an effort to destroy the
roads in this section, capturing at Rutherford Station, Company G, and K, at Dyer
Station. Three of the companies were stationed at Kenton, and anticipating the attack,
fell back towards Columbus, Kentucky, and when near Union City, Tennessee, joined
the advancing forces. General Cheatham was supposed to be marching on Columbus,
and the entire force fell back to this point.
The Christmas times were employed herein digging ditches in the rain, and preparing
for anticipated attacks. Either the apprehension was groundless, or else the enemy
feared the forces. General Davies was then commanding the post, but was soon
relieved by General J. M. Tuttle. Our presence having restored quiet in this quarter,
the work of re-constructing the railroad was commenced, and we remained at Union
City for a time, impressing the natives, including the contrabands, into the service, for
work repairing the railroad. This work accomplished in February, by order we
reported, and our scattered companies came together at Humboldt, Tennessee. From
this point, with other forces added, a movement was made eastward to Huntington,
Tennessee, expecting to meet or attract the enemy at this point. The march was in the
worst of weather; the roads in just the condition to provoke the wrath of the most
devout. Our Headquarters were established at Buntyn Station; about six miles out
from Memphis. This was about March 10, 1863. At this point, and one or two others

along the road, we guarded the approach to Memphis. This we did effectually, and
much to our enjoyment until May 30, 1863, we were ordered into Memphis, and
assigned to the Fourth Brigade, Colonel David Moore commanding; Fifth Division;
Brigadier General J.C. Veatch commanding; Sixteenth Corps, Major General S. A.
Hurlburt commanding.
The Brigade was composed of the Fifty-eighth Illinois, Twenty-first Missouri, Eightyninth Indiana, One Hundred and Nineteenth Illinois Infantry Volunteers, and the Ninth
Ohio Battery, commanded respectively by Colonels W. F. Lynch, David Moore,
Charles D. Murray, (Colonel of Eighty-ninth Indiana,) Thomas J. Kinney and Captain
Brown, the Battery. We mention the Brigade organization, for as above composed it
remained during the war, and the history of one regiment is the history of each. In the
after scenes we sympathized, endured and fought together. Our Regiment remained on
duty in and about Memphis until January, 1864, guarding the roads entering into the
city, and such provist work and other duties as details might be ordered. If I except the
daily drills, squad, company and battalion, this was the "good time" of our
recollection.
On August 14, 1863, George Parker, Captain of Company B, died, the result of
amputation of a broken limb. He was a brave and accomplished officer and a true
friend.
On or about January 27, 1864, the Regiment moved by transport down the Mississippi
to Vicksburg. From here we marched with quite an army, General W. T. Sherman
commanding, to Meridian, Miss. En route, and before reaching Jackson, Miss., we
were engaged in several skirmishes, but without regimental loss. We met the enemy at
Meridian. At this point, the bridge across quite a stream being burned, we were
annoyed by the firing of the enemy from behind cotton bale works, until a temporary
structure enabled us to cross, when, on the double-quick, we routed the enemy, and
occupied Meridian, situated on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. From this point north
and south we effectually destroyed communication by tearing up the rails, heating
them on burning ties, and bending to prevent future use until again run through the
rolling mills. A temporary stay in this section developed in a return movement by a
somewhat different route, crossing Pearl River north to Jackson, and through Canton
back to Vicksburg. The march was a weary one. Removed from our base of supplies,
foraging was largely depended upon for subsistence.
At Vicksburg we rested for a time from about March 4th until the 10th, when we again
embarked on transports. Objective points were always unknown; but we disembarked
at Simsport, on the Atchafalaya, and entered upon the Red River campaign. We here
surprised a small Rebel camp, they falling back in the direction of Fort DeRussey. The
gunboats from the river, and our forces from the land side, on or about March 12th,

captured the fort with 283 prisoners and 10 guns. This, after a march in one day of 40
miles, and the work all done by sunset. The main Rebel force escaped up the river,
commanded by Walker. Marching to Alexandria, we halted for a time for the arrival of
Banks' command, doing general duty, and engaging in occasional raids with meagre
results.
We joined in the general advance to Shreveport, bringing up the rear. We were called
upon to engage in the second day's fight, and, as a part of A. J. Smith's veterans, we
assisted in routing the enemy, and retaking one of the lost batteries and a number of
prisoners--this last by our own particular Brigade. We fell back and guarded the rear
of the retreating army until reaching Alexandria. Here a halt was necessitated by the
receding river. Our gunboats were unable to pass through the rapids. This developed
the Bailey plan of wing dams to press the water into the narrow channel. These we
helped to construct, and they proved successful. The boats over, we moved toward
Simsport on the Atchafalaya, the initial point of our campaign.
At Mansura, near Marksville, we had a skirmish which resulted in rout to the enemy.
Still in the rear, we were attacked at Yellow Bayou, by a large force, which occasioned
a desperate fight, General Smith commanding. We did valiant service, losing many
men. Captain May, of Company I, was killed here. Colonel Lynch, commanding our
Brigade, was here wounded, and the command of the Brigade devolved upon Colonel
Kinney. He was a brave man, and from this wound, years afterwards, he died. Putting
bow to bow of many steamers, a bridge was formed across the Atchafalaya, and now,
after forty days and forty nights in sound of the enemy's guns, and always at the post
of danger, we are freed from the orders of General Hawks, who was relieved by
General Canby.
We were ordered back up the Mississippi. We were landed in the southeastern part of
Arkansas, and at Lake Chicot engaged a Rebel force successfully. This was reported
to be under command of Marmaduke, and was well entrenched across a bayou; but we
fought as always to win, and drove the enemy, who retreated and left us the field. We
made a detour and reached transports, and were moved up the river, and disembarked
next at Memphis to assist in wiping out the disaster of Major General S. D. Sturgis, at
Guntown. We arrived at Memphis about June 24th, and moved by rail to Lagrange,
where the One Hundred and Twenty-second Illinois Infantry Volunteers, Colonel J. I.
Rinaker, was assigned to our Brigade, and July 5th, commenced marching through
Mississippi. Met Forrest on July 14th, at Tupelo, Miss. The battle was admirably
planned, skillfully and desperately fought, resulting in a victory fully convincing the
enemy that Guntown was remembered. At bugle sound we assumed position, and
poured a deadly volley upon the forces, now so near that we could see the men face to
face. The dead and wounded were many; and after several advances, charges and
retreats, we rejoiced in a signal victory.

After a day's delay burying the dead and caring for the wounded, we started on a
return movement. This was without interference, except cavalry skirmishes at Old
Town Creek the next day, after the battle. Withdrawing to Memphis, another
movement was made into Mississippi, through Holly Springs to the Tallahatchie. No
enemy interfered with this campaign. At this time Forrest flanked our forces, and
made his raid into Memphis.
Returning to Memphis, under orders to report to Sherman in Georgia, we took
transports up the river. Developments in Missouri, and the movements of Price in that
direction, made it necessary to reinforce Rosecrans, then commanding this
department, with headquarters at St. Louis. Our objective point, by order of General
Halleck, was changed, and accordingly we reported to Rosecrans at St. Louis.
We at one time moved south from Jefferson Barracks to intercept Price; but at length
fully organized under command of General Smith, we started westward in the vain
attempt to out travel and overtake a mounted enemy. We moved along without
obstacle, until we were left at Lamine River to guard supplies, the enemy having
burned the bridge. From this point we advanced towards Dunksburg. We forded the
rivers on all occasions, all bridges being destroyed, which was no pleasant occupation
for October. We well remember going into camp late one night, about October 22, and
after enjoying a cup of coffee we were ordered to fall in, and we marched all night,
passing through Independence about day break, and pressing towards the Big Blue.
This point we reached too late for usefulness. We could hear the fight going on, but
the enemy were routed before our arrival. We found Price in full retreat. Pursuing no
further, we soon after began our movement back towards St. Louis.
We had marched a distance of about 700 miles; a weary and uncomfortable march;
exposure to the elements more than to the enemy, but truly, a trip that had tried the
mettle of the soldier.
From this point, St. Louis, we were loaded on steamboats and passed down the
Mississippi and up the Cumberland River to Nashville, and here reported to General
Thomas at, or about, December 1. Disembarking, we were marched out late in the day,
going into camp after night on the right, of the then collected forces. Here Colonel
Kinney being ranking officer, took command of the Division, until General Kenand
Gerrard was assigned to command, when Kinney returned to command of the
Brigade. We did some faithful work, entrenching and throwing up earthworks,
expecting Hood to attack.
On one bright day, December 15, we left our defenses, and moved on the enemy, and
in two days' battle, officers and men acquitted themselves honorably. Our loss was
slight. We captured a battery of brass guns. We never fell back in any movement

during the battle. The enemy routed and fleeing, we joined the movement south, over
the Granny White Pike, seeking the retreating and flying enemy.
We marched through Franklin, passing the late field of carnage here, camping just
south of the town. It may have rained before, but it now made a success of it. We lay
until morning by letting the water run over our bodies, our heads propped up above
high water mark. On through Columbia, crossing Duck River, without resistance,
Hood's forces being now effectually dissipated. We enjoyed our Christmas and New
Year's on this trip. How we enjoyed it, we know.
We were transported from Clifton, on the Tennessee River, to Eastport, Miss. At this
point we had much to amuse and annoy--little to do and less to eat. A cavalry
movement having been contemplated from this point, the Quartermasters and
Commissaries had all thoughts fixed on horses, so that supplies arriving were for beast
and not man. Parched corn and improvised corn cakes from cracked corn, with
occasional efforts to digest hay, was our diet for over a week. The unexpected rise in
the river gave us occupation in that we were trying to save the immense supply of
grain, but nevertheless the Government lost heavily by the freshets.
Always a reinforcing Division, Brigade and Regiment, a weak point or a point of
attack seemed to turn attention to us. At this point a contemplated movement against
Mobile resulted in orders for our reporting to General Canby, then selected to
command in this attack. Again we embarked on transports, and after days of tiresome
steamboat confinement down the Tennessee, and then the Mississippi, we arrived at
New Orleans, arriving the latter part of February, 1865, on the opposite side, in the
town of Algiers. Remaining in camp for several days, finding shelter in an old sugar
house in the shadow of the monument erected in commemoration of the battle of New
Orleans, we spent the time awaiting embarkation. We shipped from New Orleans on a
boat for the mouth of the Mississippi. We disembarked at what seemed a coaling
station near its mouth, constructed of planks which seemed floating among the
grasses. Here the fresh oyster opportunity broke upon us, and we bought, begged and
grabbed all in reach from incoming natives. But eating was not our mission, so the
Fairchild, a half sea-going vessel, carried us out the mouth of the Mississippi into the
Gulf, and brought us along the steamer Guiding Star. So we were stored on board a
sea-going vessel, and steamed into the Gulf. This riding on the seas is disturbing to a
well regulated stomach, but we heaved with the sea, and finally landed on Dauphine
Island, off Mobile Bay, about March 12, 1865, moved March 21st to the mouth of
Fish River. This was as if an opening to a swamp, but vessels pushed up its dull and
sluggish channel. After putting our feet on the land we advanced, resisted only by
skirmishes. The roads were planted with torpedoes, and occasional explosions were
deadly. Not a few men and horses were in this way killed or wounded.

March 27, 1865, Spanish Fort was invested while we directed our attention to Fort
Blakely. This investment of Spanish Fort continued until April the 8th, when all the
guns small and great opened their fires upon the doomed fort, and this grandest of all
sounding battles or bombardments silenced the fort. This fort was constructed for
resistance. The approach over a plateau, bristled with abbattis, pallisades, ditches and
with its cannons arranged for death dealing. We had been on picket all night, and so
were to the front for the assault on Sunday afternoon about April 9th. The time came
for a charge on this stronghold. So struggling with all manner of obstructions, and
amid shell casings, grape shot and musketry for about an hour we overcame all
obstacles and resistance; mounted the works, took the Fort; captured the enemy, and
complete victory was ours. Our loss was not heavy, Company A suffering the most.
How we danced over our prizes in the way of prisoners, guns, swords, flags and
ordnance stores! Once again we could square ordnance accounts. This battle was
fought after Lee's surrender, and when the war was practically ended. After marching
several days, about April 19th, we began to hear rumors of Lee's surrender. At last
official notification reached us that Lee had surrendered, and the demonstration we
made is simply indescribable. This was the happy day of the war to us.
We marched on however, to Montgomery, Alabama. Here we were received by the
citizens with a measure of apprehension. Gentlemanly conduct convinced them that
we were without "horns" or "cloven feet," so we had a comfortable sojourn of a few
weeks at this delightful place.
While at this point, discipline demanded the organization of a court martial, and we
tarried long enough to apply the rules and regulations to offenders.
From Montgomery, we moved south in the hottest of weather, when as much as a leaf
to shade a man was better than a feast.
We marched to a point about one hundred miles above, and took transport for
shipment to Mobile.
Our Regiment embarked on the Osborn, and reached Mobile in comparatively good
condition. Here we entered upon fatigue service, such as details for guards, and
provost duty.
Colonel Kinney was ordered to report, and assigned to duty as provost marshal of the
department and District of Mobile with some of his command as assistants. He was
the executive officer in all matters pertaining both to civil and military life, directing
the soldier and protecting the citizen. A position demanding quick and accurate
judgement, and unbending determination in all the varied questions under his

jurisdiction and control. He measured himself a man in all these things, and won the
commendation of his associates.
Here we were mustered out in August, 1865, Kinney only a brigadier, and the rest of
us all feeling like major generals.
Coasting via Lake Pontchartrain up the Mississippi to Cairo, and from thence to Camp
Butler, near Springfield, where we were finally paid off, rehabilitated as citizens, and
dispersed to our several homes, rejoiced at the outcome of our country and ourselves.
