SEVENTY-FIRST INFANTRY
(Three-Months)
Seventy-first Infantry. - Col., Othniel Gilbert; Lieut.-
Col., James 0. P. Burnside; Maj. DeWitt C. Marshall. This
regiment was mustered into the U. S. service July 26, 1862, at
Camp Douglas, Ill., for three months. It moved the next day
for Cairo, leaving two companies en route at Big Muddy bridge,
on the Illinois Central railroad. The regiment remained ten
days at Cairo, when it was ordered to Columbus, Ky., where the
men, mostly from the northern part of Illinois, suffered se-
verely from the sudden change of climate. Upon the completion
of its term of service the regiment rendezvoused at Chicago,
Ill., where it was mustered out on Oct. 29, 1862.
