The original brigade was formed in May of 1862 from the 10th Missouri, E--24th Missouri, 80th Ohio, 56th Illinois, and the 17th Iowa. Later in the war it would include the 26th Missouri and the 10th Iowa.  During the war, the brigade saw action at Iuka, Corinth, Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Champion's Hill, Vicksburg, Missionary Ridge, and went with Sherman on the march to the sea and through the Carolinas. Company E of the 24th MO and the 17th Iowa were captured defending the railroad during Hood's invasion of Tennessee.

The sections are roughly divided up by campaign or time period.
