The 11th Indiana infantry was a fierce regiment and earned distinction among regiment’s Pittsburg landing.
Eleventh Infantry
The Eleventh Regiment was distinguished not only as a fighting regiment, but had the honor of furnishing one Major General and two Brigadier Generals who served their country in the field and in civil life with honor and distinction.
The regiment was organized and mustered into service for three months at Indianapolis on the 25th of April, 1861, with Lewis Wallace as Colonel. In the early part of May it moved to Evansville, where it remained on duty blockading the Ohio River to prevent the shipping of contraband goods to insurrectory States. On the 7th of June the regiment left Evansville for Cumberland, Maryland, and was assigned to General Thomas A. Morris's First Indiana Brigade and placed on detached service. Under instruction from General Robert Patterson it marched against a force of about five hundred Confederates at Romney, Virginia, which influenced General J. E. Johnson in his decision to evacuate Harper's Ferry. A skirmish at Kelley Island, with the loss of one man, and a few marches thereafter, ended the three months' service. In the latter part of July the regiment reached Indianapolis for muster-out and reorganization. It was mustered into the three years' service on the 31st day of August, 1861, with Lew Wallace as Colonel, and left Indianapolis for St. Louis, Missouri, on the 6th of September. On the 8th the regiment embarked on a steamer for Paducah, Kentucky, where Lieutenant Colonel George F. McGinnis was made Colonel, vice Lew Wallace, appointed Brigadier General.
During its long encampment at Paducah, by daily drilling and instructions the regiment became very efficient and was recognized afterward as one of the best drilled regiments in the army. It marched to Calloway's Landing, on the Tennessee River, and returned to Paducah. On the 5th of February the regiment was transported by steamer to the vicinity of Fort Henry, disembarking on the opposite side, near Fort Heiman, where a slight skirmish took place. It was actively engaged in the battle of Fort Donelson, and after its surrender returned to Fort Heiman, where, on the 6th of March, it was transported by steamboat to Crump's Landing. From there it marched, on the 6th of April, to Stony Lonesome, thence at noon to a point near Clear Creek. Countermarching there, it reached the battlefield via Savannah road at 7.30 o'clock p.m., and at 5.30 o'clock on the morning of the 7th formed into line of battle and took position on the left of Thompson's Ninth Indiana Battery, under command of First Lieutenant George R. Brown, supporting the same. Skirmishers were deployed, and after occupying this position for a considerable length of time the regiment was ordered to advance and take a position half a mile to the front, on a hill, and within five hundred yards of a rebel battery. The position at this point was on the right of Thompson's Battery, where it was held under a heavy fire from the enemy's guns for two hours, when the enemy gave way, followed up by the Eleventh. The advance was slow but steady and certain.
About 10 o'clock the regiment was notified that, in conjunction with the Twenty-fourth Indiana, it would be required to charge and take a rebel battery, but as the enemy vacated their position the order to charge was not given.
At 12 o'clock the rebels made their appearance in large numbers in the immediate front of the regiment, and a steady and long-continued fire upon them was the result, and such a deadly and destructive fire was poured into them that their advance was stopped, and after a desperate struggle to maintain their ground they were forced to retreat, doggedly falling back.
At 2:30 o'clock the Federal forces were falling back, while the enemy was advancing. During this, the most trying moment of the day, orders were received to fall back if it got too hot, but as there were three regiments ready to support the Eleventh in its immediate rear, it did not fall back, but held its position throughout. Fortunately, and much to its relief, at this critical moment the Thirty-second Indiana, Colonel August Willich, came up to its support, and with their assistance the advancing enemy was compelled to retire. The regiment moved into line at once and again made a forward movement, halting on the south side of Shiloh Branch, when it received three cheers—the intelligence that the rebel army was in full retreat.
