HISTORY OF THE 64th INFANTRY:
This Regiment was organized November 9, 1861, under Colonel J.W. Forsyth, who having declined, Colonel J. Ferguson took command. Lieutenant Colonels McIlvaine, Brown and Wolf were afterwards promoted - the former falling in battle at Rocky Face Ridge, May 9, 1864. The Regiment took the field in December, moving into Kentucky and then to Nashville. It participated in the second day's battle at Shiloh, and the siege of Corinth, and after the evacuation moved into Northern Alabama. In August it joined the race with Bragg to Louisville, and again returned to Nashville. The Regiment participated in the battles of Stone River and Chickamauga, sustaining a loss of nearly 200 men. It stormed Mission Ridge and marched to the relief of Knoxville. In the spring of 1864 it joined the Atlanta campaign, fighting all the way to Jonesboro, and followed Hood north to Nashville, taking active part in the battles of Franklin and Nashville. It joined in the pursuit of Hood southward, and after the close of hostilities in Tennessee it moved to New Orleans and then to Texas, where it remained until muster out December 3, 1865.
