This regiment was organized by the Board of Trade of Chicago. Its enlistment rolls were first opened on the 23d of July, 1862, and on the 23d day of August-just one month from the first enlistments-1862, the regiment embarked on board the Illinois Central Railroad cars for Cairo, where it remained until September 8th. It then took boats to Paducah, Kentucky, where it arrived September 9th, and was employed in post duty until the 17th, when it again embarked for Columbus, Kentucky, and remained there on post and picket duty until November 21st.

On that day the regiment started on the march for Vicksburg, but, with the rest of the army, was obliged to retrace its steps, the capture of Holly Springs, Mississippi, having cut off the supplies. On the 13th of March, 1863, the regiment again embarked to join in the movement against Vicksburg. On the 16th of May, after marching all day, it reached the battle-field of Champion Hills, just in time to help turn the enemy's left flank, and send him flying from the field. On the next day (17th) it was engaged at BlackRiver bridge, and on the 19th it was the first to bring on the engagement of that day at Vicksburg. May 22d it took part in the general assault on the enemy's line around Vicksburg, and suffered severely. From that time until July 4, 1863, the regiment took an active part in the siege of Vicksburg, and was among the first troops to enter the city after its surrender.

Subsequently, the 72d participated in the capture of Natchez, the battle of Benton, Mississippi, and General Slocum's expedition to Port Gibson and Grand Gulf. On the 30th of November, 1864, the regiment was engaged in the battle of Franklin, in which it suf fered severely, losing, in killed, wounded and taken prisoners, nine officers and one hundred and fifty-two enlisted men, and where Lieutenant-Colonel Stockton was severely wounded. On the 15th of December it bore a conspicuous part in the battle of Nash
