Regiment History: ILLINOIS
EIGHTY-THIRD INFANTRY
(Three Years)
Eighty-third Infantry. -Cols., Abner C. Harding, Arthur A.
Smith; Lieut.-Cols., Arthur A. Smith, Elijah C. Brott; Majs.,
Elijah C. Brott, William G. Bond. This regiment was organized at
Monmouth and was mustered into the U. S. service Aug. 21,
1862. Cos. A, B, C, F, and H were recruited in Warren County,
D in Mercer, E, G, I and K, in Knox. The regiment moved from camp Aug. 25, via Burlington and St. Louis to Cairo arriving
there the 29th and reporting to Brig.-Gen. Tuttle commanding the post. On Sept. 3 it moved to Fort Henry and thence to Fort
Donelson, where it remained until Sept., 1863. It had heavy guard duty to perform, and as the whole country, especially along the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers was infested with guerrillas, it had daily skirmishes with the enemy, some of them being quite severe, as at Waverly, Tenn., and Garretts-
burg, Ky. On Feb. 3 nine companies of the 83d with Co. C, 2nd Ill. light artillery, successfully resisted the attack of For-
rest and Wheeler with 8,000 men on Fort Donelson, the loss of the regiment being 13 killed and 51 wounded. On the morning of
Aug. 20, Capt. William M. Turnbull of Co. B, with 11 of his company, left Fort Donelson in pursuit of 5 guerrillas who were making their way to the Tennessee river with a number of
horses, but failing to overtake them he was overpowered by a party of guerrillas secreted in the timber, while returning to the fort. Turnbull and 8 of his men were killed and but 3 of the party escaped to tell the sad fate of their companions.
During the year 1864, the regiment had some 200 miles of communications to guard, as well as much heavy patrol duty, and during the winter of 1864-65 it was on provost duty at Nashville, Tenn. On June 26, 1865, the regiment was mustered out at Nashville and sent to Chicago, where it received final pay and discharged on July 4.
