- Lot Description
James Newby enlisted in Oct. 1861 and was mustered into the 36th Indiana Infantry as a first sergeant. He mustered out three years later at Indianapolis, IN.
The unit was organized at Richmond in Sept. 1861 and left a few days later, spending most of the winter in camp. In Feb. it joined the Army of the Ohio and saw action at Shiloh a short while later. It stayed near there until the Battle of Corinth, where it stayed through the siege, then it moved to Nashville. The unit was with Rosecranz at Murphreesboro, and Stone's River, then it went to Chattanooga. It participated in Chickamauga and other skirmishes in the Western Theater. The unit went with Sherman's army to Atlanta, and shortly after, those who had not veteranized, such as Capt. Newby, went home to muster out. The remaining veterans organized under John Swisher and pursued Hood into northern Alabama. It spent most of the winter and spring in the region of Chattanooga, Huntsville, and Nashville until sent to New Orleans in June 1985. Then it went to Texas, where the Confederate forces were just surrendering (Stand Watie - June 23). It finally mustered out at the end of November 1865.
