HISTORICAL SKETCH The 21st Indiana Infantry Regiment was organized at Indianapolis on 24 July 1861 under James M. McMillan as colonel. It moved to Baltimore, staying there until early in 1862. It then came under the command of General Benjamin F. Butler as he attacked and captured New Orleans in May 1862. General N. P. Banks changed the regiment to the First Heavy Artillery in February 1863. From then until it was mustered out in 1865 the regiment served around the Gulf in several locations: in the capture of Port Hudson; up the Teche and Red Rivers; and in the capture of Mobile.
