was ordered forward in double-quick time, following the Eleventh
Missouri Volunteers. Arriving near the scene of action the Forty-
seventh Illinois formed in line of battle on the left of the Eleventh Mis-
souri Volunteers, when, by direction of General Stanley, my regiment
was ordered to the front, to take position on the side of a hill and on
both sides of the road leading to Iuka, and hold it, and not to attack
the enemy, which position I occupied until about 2 o'clock on the morn-
ing of the 20th instant. At that time, by order of General Rosecrans,
the right of my regiment was thrown to the rear in continuation of a
line formed by the Thirty-ninth Ohio, and we remained in that line until
about 5.30 o'clock, when we were ordered to proceed with the First
Brigade into the town of Inuka. From the town we joined in the pur-
suit of the rebel army, following them to Crippled Deer Post-Office, on
the Franklin road. The position of my regiment on the field was to
the left of the severe fighting, and although we were all the time under
fire opportunity did not offer to give the enemy more than four volleys.
It gives me great pleasure to report the steady, cool, and soldier-like
bearing of both officers and men of my command while occupying a
position in which we were continually annoyed by the fire of the enemy
without being able to respond to any purpose. We captured First
Lieutenant Shehan, of the First Missouri Cavalry.
I append list of casualties* and submit this report for your consid-
eration.
Respectfully, your obedient servant.
