EIGHTH ILLINOIS INFANTRY

This regiment was organized on the 25th day of April, 1861, for the three months service, Col. R. J. Oglesby commanding. Stationed at Cairo, Illinois, until mustered out, at close of term. Re-organized for three years service; moved to Bird’s Point, Missouri, February 2, 1862; embarked for Tennessee River; engaged enemy near Fort Henry, Tennessee; attacked Fort Donelson, Tennessee, about middle of February, where most valuable service was rendered, and where serious loss was sustained.

Major John P. Post was taken prisoner in this battle. Was engaged in the battle of Shiloh. Actively participated at the seige of Corinth, Mississippi, where Col. Oglesby was dangerously wounded and borne from the field in expectation of immediate death. Met enemy at Raymond, Mississippi. Sent to Camp Butler, Illinois, in 1864, on veteran furlough. Afterwards the regiment was in Western Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana. Mustered out of service at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, May 4, 1866. Ordered to Springfield, Illinois, for final payment and discharge, where it arrived May 13, 1866.
