The regiment arrived at St. Louis on the eve- 
ning of the 31st of March, 1862, and next day 
were ordered to proceed up the Tennessee river 
to Pittsburg Landing. Arriving at the landing 
about noon of Saturday, April 5, they were as- 
 
signed to the command of Gen. Prentiss, which 
was then in the extreme advance, about four 
miles on the Corinth road. 
No sooner had the 18th Wisconsin reached 
its position on the Corinth road under Gen. 
Prentiss, than they found themselves confronted 
by the enemy. In brief, they had a position of 
extreme danger, as the enemy were marching 
in force against the Union army, and early on 
Sunday, the day after the arrival of the regi- 
ment, the battle of Pittsburg Landing began. 
The result is far more than a "twice told tale." 
Col. James A. Alban was shot through the body, 
and Major J. W. Crain was killed with eight 
wounds on his person. Lieut-Col. Samuel W. 
Beall and acting adjutant Colman were both 
severely wounded, and Capt. John H. Compton, 
company G, was killed. 
Capt. Gabriel Bouck, of the 2d Wisconsin, 
succeeded to the colonelcy of the 18th Wiscon- 
sin, and the regiment was assigned to the sec- 
ond brigade, commanded by Col. Oliver. In 
the vicinity of Corinth, Col. Bouck, early in 
October, 1862; was attacked by an overwhelm- 
ing force of the enemy, but the 18th escaped, 
though with some loss. Company C had pri- 
vates Robert E. Graham and William Downie 
wounded. The 18th left Corinth on the 2d of 
November. 
In May, 1863, the 18th regiment had been 
assigned to the first brigade, commanded by 
Col. Sanborn, in Gen. Crocker's division, of the 
17th army corps. At the battle of Champion 
Hills, private Bent Markison was wounded. 
The regiment acted as sharpshooters in the 
assault of the 22d of May, at Vicksburg, to hold 
a position in front of a rebel fort, and cover 
the advance of the assaulting column. In this 
movement company C met with no casualty. 
On the 4th of January, 1864, Col. Bouck re- 
signed. Lieut-Col. Beall had resigned the pre- 
vious August. The regiment was mustered out 
of service at Louisville, July 18, 1865, and 
reached Madison on the 29th, where they were 
publicly received and disbanded.
