Report of Lieutenant Colonel McDermott covering the part taken by his regiment at Chewalla and Corinth:
"We were stationed at Chewalla, a small post some nine miles from Corinth, on the Memphis and Charleston railroad. Attached to us was a company of cavalry commanded by Ford (53d Illinois. ), which was kept on duty night and day. We were always on the alert for any surprise. Our men were engaged night and day on picket duty and building breastworks.
