notes.--Recruited in
La Salle County, and organized at
Ottawa, Ill., in August, 1862.
The regiment proceeded immediately to
Louisville, Ky., where it was uniformed and armed, after which it was assigned to
Dumont's Division of
Buell's Army.
After participating in the
Kentucky campaign of that fall, it was stationed at
Hartsville, Tenn., where it was attacked, December 6, 1862, by a Confederate brigade under
General Morgan.
At that time the garrison at
Hartsville consisted of three regiments, two companies of cavalry, and a section of light artillery.
After a sharp fight in the fields outside the town, the garrison was surrounded and compelled to surrender; the losses of the One Hundred and Fourth amounted to 25 killed, 131 wounded, and 568 captured. The men were immediately released on parole, and the regiment went to Camp Douglass,
Chicago, to await notice of exchange, which was received in the spring of 1863.
Rejoining the Army of the Cumberland, the regiment was assigned to
Beatty's (1st) Brigade,
Negley's (2d) Division, Fourteenth Corps.
It was engaged at
Hoover's Gap, with a slight loss, and then at
Chickamauga, where it lost 2 killed, 46 wounded, and 16 missing. In October, the One Hundred and Fourth was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Fourteenth Corps, in which it remained without further change; this division was commanded by
Johnson, and then by
Carlin.
The regiment lost at
Peach Tree Creek, 16 killed, 29 wounded, and 5 missing; and at
Utoy Creek, 5 killed and 18 wounded. It accompanied
Carlin's Division on the March through
Georgia, and then fought under
Carlin in the Carolinas.
