CHAPTER XIII.
PATRIOTISM OF SHELBY AND MOULTRIE COUNTIES.
THIRTY-FIFTH REGIMENT -
INFANTRY
Pg. 107
Was organized in
Decatur July 3, 1861, and its services tendered to the President; on
the 23d of same month it was accepted by the secretary of war, as
Col. G. A. Smith's Independent Regiment of Illinois Volunteers;
on the 4th of August left Decatur, and the next day arrived at
Jefferson Barracks, Mo.; thence to Marine Hospital, St. Louis.
Eight companies were there mustered into the United States service;
aggregate strength of regiment, 793. On 15th September
transported by railroad to Jefferson City, Mo.; next to Otterville;
marched to Sedalia, and found Gen. Siegel's advance on
Springfield, arriving there the 26th; moved from Springfield to
Rolla; returned to Springfield, Mo., Feb. 13, 1862. March 5,
retired from Cross Hollows to Pea Ridge, in which latter engagement
Col. G. A. Smith was severely wounded. The 35th
Regiment also took part in the pursuit of Price. The main
battles in which this regiment was engaged were: Rocky-faced Ridge,
Resaca, Dallas, Mud Creek, Kenesaw, Perryville, Stone River and
Chickamauga, at which last battle the 35th lost, in killed, and
wounded and missing, eight commissioned officers and one hundred and
fifty men. Went into the action with eighteen commissioned
officers and two hundred and eighty-one enlisted men. After
the battle, the command proceeded to Chattanooga, and on the 25th of
November took part in the storming and capture of Mission Ridge.
The flag of this regiment was carried in advance of the men to
within twenty steps of the rebel works on the crest. In this
engagement the regiment's losses were: killed, six men; wounded, two
commissioned officers and forty-six men. From May 7 to August
26, took part in the Atlanta campaign. Total losses in killed,
wounded and missing in that campaign were: six commissioned officers
and one hundred and eighteen men. Went into camp at
Chattanooga on the 27th of August, and on the 31st of the same month
started for Springfield, Illinois; did some skirmishing on the road,
and on September 27th, 1864, was at Springfield mustered out of the
service, and received pay and discharge. Their ranks were
seriously decimated by the hardships and privations of war.
This was one of the bravest regiments that went from the grand old
Prairie State; and in the many perilous engagements in which it took
a part, the sons of Shelby county showed their heroism and courage,
and covered themselves with glory. The Shelby county men
formed a part of five companies comprising this regiment, viz.:
companies B, D, C, F, and K. Company C was almost entirely
from this county, both officers and men, as the appended roster will
show.
