Sketch of its origin, organization and military record. News of the attack on Fort Sumter, in Charleston harbor, on April 12, and its capitulation to General Beauregard, followed by the proclamation of President Lincoln, April 15, 1861, calling for seventy-five thousand volunteers to aid the government in suppressing insurrection and rebellion, reached St. Peter on Saturday, April 19. On the day following, in response to the call of Governor Ramsey, Messrs. E. St. Julien Cox and J. C. Donahower, initiated efforts toward the enlistment of a company of volunteers for the First regiment, seventeen persons signing the roll during the day, which by Wednesday noon had increased to over eighty names. A meeting of the signers of the roll was then held in the hall of the Steltzer House, at which an organization was effected by the election of Asgrim K. Skaro as captain, E. St. J. Cox, first lieutenant, and J. C. Donahower, second lieutenant; also adopting the name of "St. Peter Guards." Mr. David Donaldson was without delay sent to St. Paul with an offer to the governor of the services of the guards; Donaldson making the ride on horseback to St. Paul in twenty-four hours, one hour too late, the governor having just accepted the tenth company required to fill the quota under the first call. When the messenger returned and the result became known, twenty-five or thirty of the guards started for St. Paul and enlisted in the First Regiment. On June 15th Gov. Ramsey sent Captain Skaro an order to report with his company at Fort Ridgely, Minn. The order reached St. Peter at about 1 o'clock P. M. on the 17th of June, and three hours later Captain Skaro with about forty members of the guards stepped on board of the steamer "City Belle," and proceeded to Fort Ridgely, in company with the "Western Zouaves," of St. Paul. Two days later a second detachment of the Guards left St. Peter in wagons, reaching the fort at noon on the 20th of June. The guards were fortunate in having not only a captain, but others also in the ranks, whose military training and discipline proved highly advantageous to them, and enabled them, in the short time allotted the company, to acquire a knowledge of the manual of arms and practice in drill exercises. Ordnance Sergeant John Jones, U. S. A., assisted in promoting the efficiency of the troops by giving instruction in evolutions, etc. About the 25th of June the "Guards" were sent to the Lower Sioux Indian Agency, where they remained until after the payment, and then returned to the fort. At 6 P. M. on the evening of July 4, 1861, in response to the call of Major Galbraith, agent at Yellow Medicine, for troops, the Guards, with Captain McCune's company of the First regiment, marched out of the fort, but after marching ten miles were overtaken by a courier with orders for Captain McCune to proceed to Fort Snelling, and for the Guards to return, and be mustered into the United States military service, by Captain A. D. Nelson, U. S. A., who had arrived on the "City Belle" after the troops had left the fort. The two companies got back to the fort on the morning of July 5, and later in the day Captain Nelson formally mustered the Guards, and after having been sworn in, they dropped the name Guards, and became Company E, of the Second regiment Minnesota infantry volunteers. The muster in roster of Co. E, was as follows: Captain, Asgrim K. Skaro; First Lieutenant, E. St. Julien Cox; Second Lieutenant, J. C. Douahower; First Sergeant, A. E. Alden; Sergeants, Thomas G. Scott, Frank Y. Hoffstott, Benj. S. Sylvester, Holder Jacobus; Corporals, Joseph Diehl, Edward Pasco, Thomas Harney, Azro A. Stone, Solon K. Cheadle, Geo. A. Black, James Newton; Musicians, Robt. G. Rhodes, Frank Borer; Wagoner, A. C. Kenter and seventy-one privates. Those from Nicollet county are found in the list below. On the morning of July 6, 1861, Company E marched for the Yellow Medicine, overtaking Captain Western's company, and reaching the agency at noon of the 7th, relieving the government employes and their wives and children from the anxiety and fear of massacre and capture, caused by the threatening and rebellious attitude of the younger Indians. On July 23d the troops marched back to Ridgely, reaching that post at sunset, marching forty-six miles in sixteen hours. On August 13th a detatchment of companies, D and E, under Captain Western and Lieutenant Cox, were sent by Lieut. Col. George, to Spirit Lake, Iowa, to protect settlers in that vicinity from the depredations of marauding bands of Indians. In the mean time the Indians at and above Yellow Medicine, again manifested, by insolent and threatening behavior, a disposition of a very warlike character, which again called Company E to the upper agency, where they arrived on or about the tenth day of September. On the 15th Lieut. Donahower, with a detachment of Company E, was sent to Big Stone Lake, as an escort to the government farmer, whose purpose was the seizure of a number of horses that had been stolen from white people living at some point on the Missouri river. They returned to Yellow Medicine on the 22d with three horses. On September 23d Captain Skaro marched with his company for Ridgely under orders to join the regiment at Fort Snelling. On Sunday afternoon, September 29th the companies, D and E, marched from Fort Ridgely via Henderson, reaching Fort Snelling at noon on October 3d, where the several companies that were on garrison duty at Ridgely, Abercrombie and Ripley, were to rendezvous. On October 9th the paymaster made a payment of two months service and on the 14th the regiment being ordered to Washington, embarked, but on arriving at Pittsburg on the 18th, was ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, arriving there on October 22d, proceeding the same day to Lebanon Junction, Kentucky, thence on December 9, 1861 to Lebanon, marching January 1st, 1862, via Columbia to Mill Springs, taking an honorable and active part in the battle of that name on January 19th, with a loss of twelve men killed and thirty-three wounded in the regiment, during which Company E gained possession of the flag of the Yallabusha rangers of Mississippi. Later via Somerset, Crab Orchard, and Danville to Lebanon on February 18th, thence via Bardstown to Louisville, where, on the 25th of February, 1862, the regiment was honored by its loyal men and noble and patriotic ladies with a reception, and the presentation of a flag. Thence February 27th, by river, to Nashville, Tennessee; thence on March 20th with General Buell via Franklin, Columbia and Savannah to Pittsburg Landing, arriving there April 8, 1862. Passed April and May in the siege of Corinth, and followed the enemy in pursuit to Boonsville, Mississippi. On June 10th passed through Rienza, thence to east of Corinth, thence June 25th to Iuka, arriving at Tuscumbia, Alabama, June 30th. Early in February Lieutenant Donahower was appointed to duty in the signal corps, and on February 8, 1862 Lieutenant Cox resigned, and on March 20th Captain Skaro, by reason of ill health also resigned, the vacancies being filled by promotion of Lieutanant J. C. Donahower to the captaincy of Company E, Sergeant A. E. Alden, becoming First Lieutenant and Sergeant Major Thomas G. Scott Second Lieutenant, and Corporals A. A. Stone and Thos. Harney, Sergeants. From August 21, to September 3 the regiment was on the chase after Bragg in the mountains around Altamont and Pelham, arriving at Nashville on the 6th, thence on the 14th in pursuit of Bragg's Army, reaching Louisville, Kentucky, on the 27th, marching again October 1, and on the 6th skirmishing all day with the rebel rear guard, near Springfield, Kentucky; thence on the 8th into line in the battle of Perryville, thence via Lebanon to Bowling Green on Nov. 3, South Tunnel on the 12th and to Cunninghams Ford on the 25th, thence on Dec. 22, to Pilot Knob, and on the 27th to Gallatin, going into camp January 3, 1863, at Col. Battle's house near Nashville; thence March 3, to Chapel. Hill with Brownlow's cavalry, returning to Triune March 8, with sixty prisoners. On June 23, march on the Tullahoma campaign, and on the 24th companies E and K skirmished with the enemy on the Shelbyville Pike, and thence on the 26th into line at Hoover's Gap, and skirmish with General Stearns' Cavalry on the 29th near Tullahoma, and passing through it on the 1st of July, camp on the 8th, near Winchester. March again August 16, and cross the Cumberland mountains and Tennessee river; thence over the mountains beyond into McLemore's Cove on Sept 12. On September 19, in the battle of Chickamauga, the regiment begins the action on the left flank of Gen. Rosecrans' line, and was actively engaged until sunset on the evening of the 20th, losing thirty-five killed and 119 officers and men wounded. On September 22 the regiment was in position at Chattanooga and took an active part during the two months' siege in holding Bragg and starvation at bay. During October and November, 1863, the regiment was continuously within hailing distance of the enemy, and witnessed the battle above the clouds on Lookout Mountain, November 24, and in the battle of Mission Ridge, November 25, was on the front line in the charge on the lower works and those on the summit, holding the position and repulsing the counter attack made by Cheatham's division, until reinforced by the Ninth Ohio Volunteers, losing out of eight companies present, thirty-nine in killed and wounded. Was present at the battle of Ringgold, Georgia, on the 27th, and returned on the 30th to Chattanooga. After the re-enlistment of the major portion of the regiment on December 29, the regiment, on January 8, 1864, proceeded to St. Paul, on veteran furlough. On March 3, they left St. Paul, and marching from Nashville arrived at Ringgold, Georgia, on April 10th. On May 1st and 3d supported Gen. Kilpatrick's cavalry in action near Tunnel Hill, and on the 7th marched with Gen. Sherman on the Atlanta campaign, being under fire almost daily until that city was reached, and taking part in the battles of Resaca, May 14 and 15th; Kulp's Farm, June 18, and the several battles around Kenesaw Mountain and at Jonesboro, October 4, 1864, marched with Sherman after Hood into northern Alabama, returning to Atlanta November 15, witnessed its destruction by fire on the 16th, thence with Sherman on his march to the sea, taking part in the capture of Savannah, Georgia, on December 21, and later of Fayetteville, North Carolina, and present at the battle of Bentonville, arriving at Goldsboro, March 23, 1865, at Raleigh, April 10; thence, after Gen. Johnson's surrender via Richmond to Washington,, where they marched in the grand review on May 24, 1865, thence via Louisville, Kentucky, to Fort Snelling, Minnesota, where by reason of the close of the war the regiment was on July 21, 1865, honorably discharged. In July, 1864, by reason of expiration of term of service, Captain Donahower with several other officers and about one hundred enlisted men of the regiment returned to Chattanooga for muster out. The vacancies in Company E, being filled by the promotion of Lieutenant Scott as Captain, B. F. Sylvester, First Lieut., Thomas D. Fowble, Second Lieut. Thomas Downs, O. P. Renne and R. G. Rhodes as sergeants and Beret Olmanson, E. Knutson Joseph Smith, and F. Wendland as corporals, and Sergeant F. T. Hoffstott as regimental adjutant. The regiment was commanded at first by Col. H. P. Van Cleve, then by Col. James George, who was succeeded by Col. J. W. Bishop, who remained its commander to the end. It may not be irrelevant or inappropriate to state that during the years of service at the South the position of the regiment was always found to be at the front, and where its proximity to the enemy demanded a constant picket line to guard it against surprise, and that Company E's records instances but one case of capture of one of its members unwounded. Sergeant Stone with privates W. L. Jones, Jay W. French, Lewis Swenson, and James Flora, too severely wounded at Chickamauga to be removed, with the capture of the hospital, fell into the enemy's hands, but were fortunately exchanged and returned to Chattanooga ten days later. The company will be pardoned for remembering with no little pride the fact that Sergeants Sylvester and Jacobus of Company E, bore the flag of the regiment from Fort Snelling in 1861, and that the latter while on the march, and through its battles and skirmishes, gallantly held it aloft, and unstained save by the blood of its bearer, delivered it July 21, 1865, into the keeping of the state.
