Huge stones, a torrent of iron hail, and canister were hurled down upon them like the avalanches of the Rocky Mountains. To proceed further or remain where they were was impossible. Besides the hundreds of dauntless men, such grand heroes as Generals Harker and McCook were killed. Finally, the advice of

accounts of this affair prove that after the capture of the advanced line of breastworks General Hood directed his two divisions against the enemy's main line. The slow operation of a change of front under the fire of the artillery of this main line subjected the Confederates to a loss of one thousand men — whereupon the attempt was abandoned, either by the general's orders or by the discretion of the troops.

He and General Thomas were standing by the signal tree from which ran telegraphic wires to the front, by means of which reports were received and orders transmitted during the battle. On the 24th Hardee's skirmishers were attacked in their rifle-pits by a Federal line of battle, and on the 25th a similar assault was made upon those of Stevenson's division. Both were repulsed, with heavy pro

At Shiloh the regiment lost three color-bearers killed in succession; and Major Eaton, who was in command of the regiment, was also killed. He had resigned ten days previous, but, having remained with the regiment, he entered the fight with the men and led them gallantly until he fell mortally wounded. The 125th Illinois led the storming column of McCook's Brigade in the grand assault on Kenesaw Mountain, June 27, 1864. General McCook was with the advance, and fell mortally wounded on the enemy's works, having passed the abattis. Colonel Harmon, of the 125th, took his place instantly, and while urging the men to secure the victory so nearly won, fell with a bullet through his heart. The regiment lost 61, all of whom were killed or died of their wounds, in this assault, besides the large number of wounded who survived.
