The 15th Kentucky Infantry was organized in the fall of 1861, at Camp Pope, near New Haven, Kentucky, under Colonel Curran Pope, and was mustered into the United States service on the 14th day of December, 1861, at Camp Pope, by Captain C. C. Gilbert, United States Mustering Officer, and marched to Bacon Creek; thence via Bowling Green, Kentucky, Nashville, Murfreesboro, Shelbyville, and Fayetteville, Tennessee, to Huntsville, Alabama; thence to Winchester, Tennessee; thence to Gun-ter's Landing and Elk River. On the 31st day of August, 1862, it started on the campaign after Bragg, passing via Murfreesboro and Nashville, Tennessee, and Bowling Green, Elizabethtown, and West Point, to Louis-ille, Kentucky, where it arrived on the 26th day of September, 1862. It-eft Louisville, and marching via Taylorsvillc, Bloomtield, Chaplin, and Maxville, arrived at the battle-field of Chaplin Hills, Kentucky, on the 8th day of October, 1862, and engaged in that severe conflict. It then moved via Danville and Stanford to Crab Orchard, where it turned back, and moving via Stanford, Lebanon, and Bowling Green, Kentucky, and Nashville, Tennessee, arrived at the battle-field of Stone River on the 30th day of December, 1862, and took part in the five days' fight at that place. On the morning of the 4th day of January, 1863, it marched through Murfreesboro, and encam ped until June 24th, 1863, near that place. It then marched via Hoover's Gap, Manchester, and Hillsboro, to Decherd,

Tennessee, where it remained about a month, and then marched via Stevenson, Raccoon, and Lookout Mountains, to the battle-field of Chickamauga, arriving on the 19th of September, 1863. Participating in the battles of the 19th, 20th, and 21st of September, it covered the army as skirmishers and moved to Chattanooga on the 22d of September, 1863, where it remained on post duty until the 2d of May, 1864, when it'started on the Georgia campaign, which was one of continual lighting, skirmishing, and marching for four months, resulting in the capture of Atlanta, Georgia, which was occupied by the United States troops on the 2d day of September, 1864.

The regiment was chiefly engaged in garrison duty and guarding railroads until it was ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was mustered out on the 14th day of January, 1865; the recruits and veterans being transferred to the 2d Kentucky Veteran Cavalry.

A reference to the casualty-list will show that this regiment bore an honorable part in the war; the number of killed exceeding 14 per cent, of the entire force, and the number of wounded being in greater proportion.

It participated in the following among other numerous battles in which loss was sustained, viz: Chaplin Hills, Kentucky; Stone River, Tennessee; Chickamauga, Georgia; Mission Ridge, Resaca, Kenesaw Mountain, Altoona Mountain, and all the skirmishes of the Atlanta campaign.
