Administrative History
The 99th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment mustered into service at Camp Rose in South Bend, Indiana on August 21, 1862. Eight total regiments were formed: Company A of Lake County; Company B of Hancock County; Company C of Porter and Benton counties; Company D of Miami County; Company E of Newton, Jasper, and Carroll counties; Company F of White County; Company G of Hendricks County; Company H of Marion and Hendricks counties; Company I of Howard and Miami counties; and Company K of Cass County. The 99th started with more than 900 soldiers during the war but lost 178 to death from disease and military action, while another 38 deserted. They saw military action at the Siege of Vicksburg and the battles of Missionary Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Big Shanty, Kennesaw Mountain, Atlanta, Jonesborough, and Bentonville. On June 5, 1865, the 99th Indiana Regiment was conglomerated into the 48th Indiana Infantry, effectively ending the 99th.
