One Hundred and Thirty-sixth Infantry.-Col.,
Frederick A.Johns; Lieut.-Col., William T.

The companies forming this regiment were
enlisted about the first of May, 1864, and
went into camp at Centralia, but were not
mustered into the U.S. service until the
first day of June, following, its term
being 100 days.

Shortly after muster it received marching
orders and was sent by rail to Cairo, IL.,
and there placed on a boat, with Fort
Pillow as its probable destination. When it
arrived at Columbus, Ky., word was received
that Gen. Forrest was making a feint on Fort
Pillow but would attack Columbus and the
regiment was consequently landed there,
where it remained doing garrison duty
during the months of June, July, August and
September.
