INDIANA
SPIRIT QUEST #653
"Sodom/Myers
Cemetery"
This quest will bring you to the
Sodom/Myers cemetery in Baker Township of Morgan County. This is a
well maintained cemetery, but has the appearance that some
headstones may be missing. It's a fairly large area with just a few
graves scattered around. It was a peaceful and beautiful place on
the fall day when I visited. A Methodist church used to be at this
location as well.
The 21st Indiana
Regiment
The 21st Indiana regiment became the 1st Heavy Artillery
regiment in 1863. While initially assigned to guard Baltimore
Maryland, the regiment spent much of the war in deep south. They
were stationed in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, where they took part
in the seige of Port Hudson and the Red River Campaign. They then
moved to the Mobile Alabama area where they fought in battles at
Spanish Fort and Fort Blakeley. The battle at Fort Blakeley
actually occurred a couple of days after the surrender at Appomatix
Courthouse. Then after the war the regiment occupied Mobile.
22nd Indiana Regiment
Veteran
The 22nd was formed at Madison Indiana and saw a lot of heavy
action in the south. It lost 14 officers and 139 men as casualties.
The regiment earned battle stars for many of the major actions in
the western theater of the war. They participated in battles at Pea
Ridge Arkansas, Corinth Mississippi, Stones River and Chattanooga
Tenessee, Perryville Kentucky, the Atlanta campaign in Georgia and
finally to the late battles in the Carolinas.
