Civil War Infantry
Twenty Third Infantry
During the early part of November following this regiment, in command of Major W. W. Wheeler, was in camp opposite Loudon, East Tennessee, doing picket duty, whence it marched to Lenoir. The 23d then returned with the army towards Hough's Ferry, and attacked the enemy on the 12th, driving them some miles towards the ferry. On the following morning the command fell back to Lenoir. On the 16th orders were received to destroy the transportation equipage and officer's baggage, and turn over the teams to the several batteries.
