notes.--This regiment was recruited in
Missouri and
Illinois during the summer of 1861, and organized at
St. Louis in August.
On the 6th of August, it moved to
Cape Girardeau, Mo., where it went into camp and remained until March, 1862, having been engaged in the meantime in several expeditions, reconnoissances, and skirmishes in
Missouri, in some of which there was some brisk fighting, with several men killed or wounded.
The regiment joined
Pope's army, in March, 1862, and was engaged in the operations about New Madrid and
Island Number10.
It moved thence to
Corinth, where it took an active part in the siege.
The gallantry of the Eleventh at
Iuka, elicited special mention from
General Rosecrans in G. O. No. 130, in which he calls attention “to the magnificent fighting of the Eleventh Missouri, under the gallant
Mower.”
The regiment was also honorably mentioned in the official report of
Corinth.
The Eleventh led the charge of
Mower's Brigade in the grand assault on
Vicksburg, May 22, 1863.
In that desperate struggle it was the only entire regiment of the Fifteenth Corps that reached the fort, and the only regiment in that corps that planted its colors on the parapet.
Colonel Weber was killed in the trenches at
Vicksburg.
The Eleventh was also hotly engaged in the
battle of Nashville--then in
Hubbard's (2d) Brigade,
McArthur's (1st) Division, Sixteenth Corps--after which it accompanied the
Corps to
Mobile, Ala.
