Burial: Spencer, Owen Co. In NOTE: James W Archer enlisted into A Company of the Indiana 59th Infantry Regiment on December 26, 1861 as a 1st Lieutenant at 33 years old. Promoted to full Adjutant on February 11, 1862 and transferred to C company. Mustered out at Louisville KY on July 17, 1865. Awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor in 1897. Died on 1/28/1908. Virginia Archer (Olson) received the CMoH from his son Charles William in 1940. I have finally found the details of the battle for which James Williamson Archer was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. I have not seen the source material but I will list it here in case any one wants to see it. This quote comes from The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies Published under the Direction of the Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of War. By Brig. Gen. Fred C Ainsworth, Chief of the Record and Pension Office, War Department and Mr. Joseph W. Kirkley, Washington, D. C.: United States Printing Office 1882, Series 1, Vol. 17, part 1, Chapter 29 - Operations in West Tennessee and Northern Mississippi, June 10, 1862 to January 20, 1863. Page 218. "October 3-12, 1862 Battle of Corinth, MS and the pursuit of the Confederate forces. Report no. 23 - Report of Lt. James W Archer, 59th Indiana, commanding 48th Indiana Infantry. To Capt. J.P. Assistant Adjutant General from Lt. James W Archer, Adjutant 59th Infantry, 59th Indiana Volunteers. Datelined: Camp, near Corinth, Mississippi, October 12, 1862 Sir: I have the honor to report that on Saturday, October 4, after battle had commenced, Lt. .Col. D. E. W .C. Rugg commanding the 48th Regiment Indiana Volunteers was severely wounded in the foot and was carried from the field. I was placed in command. At that time the regiment was on the right of Sands' 11th Ohio Battery on the ridge, the second position the battery had taken during the fight. The enemy were advancing rapidly and in great force upon the position, it being one of great importance. We kept up a steady fire upon the enemy, pouring volley after volley upon them with great effect. Their colors and their main body had advanced to within probably 75 yards, when the commanding officer fell from his horse killed or wounded; their line wavered, and, at a heavy volley from my regiment, in connection with the fire from the regiment, they broke and fled. We followed at a run, firing as we went, and halted in line with the regiments right and left, when the enemy were driven entirely from the field. Our ammunition being nearly spent, the men picked up the enemy's cartridge boxes which were partially full, and fired them at the retreating foe. By My personal application General Rosecrans sent me, by one of his officers, a supply of ammunition, from which I got 60 rounds per man, and was again in readiness for the conflict. I take pleasure in bearing testimony to the gallantry of the officers of the regiment and the steady and unflinching bravery of the men. The loss of the regiment was: killed 4; wounded 22, which two have since died. The loss of the regiment in killed and wounded, compared to the entire loss of the brigade, sufficiently proved the character of our share of the engagement. Among the wounded is a Lieutenant Colonel and one Captain. On the morning of the 5th instant, I asked to be relieved from the command, and, the major being under arrest, Lt. Col. J. K. Scott was placed in command. …. your obedient servant, James W. Archer, 1st Lt. and Adjt. 59th Indiana Volunteers.
