On April 3d, Colonel Innes, with his field and staff and companies B, C, E, I, and H, left Nashville, and at Columbia companies D, F, and G, joined the regiment when it commenced the march, with Buell's army of the Ohio, for the field of Shiloh, Mississippi, reaching there on the 15th. On this march they built several road bridges, and the rapidity with which the work was accomplished enabled General Buell to reach the field of Shiloh in time to rescue the army of General Grant from destruction, and out of a disastrous defeat bringing a complete victory.
