Pvt George Houghton served in the United States Civil War.
Enlisted: Aug 12 1862
Mustered out: Jun 16 1865
Side: USA
Regiment(s): Company D, 104th Illinois Infantry

George Houghton was born in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia in Canada. As a boy, he moved to Michigan, and later to Illinois, where he was educated and became a schoolteacher. During the Civil War, he entered service at Brookfield, Cook County, Illinois, serving with the 104th Illinois Infantry. After the war, he moved to South Dakota and became a lawyer. Moved to Woodstock, Minnesota, where he married Mrs. Emma L. Roberts on July 20, 1898.

Bryant of Peoria, Illinois, and Mrs. Julia Dunn of Moline, Illinois. He is buried in the Washington Soldiers Home Cemetery, Orting, Washington.

Military Service
Pvt. George L. Houghton (August 28, 1841 - February 25, 1917) was an American soldier who fought in the American Civil War from 1862 - 1865. Pvt. George L Houghton enlisted on Aug 12 1862 on the side of the US Union Forces at Brookfield, Cook Co., Illinois and was assigned to Company D of the 104th Illinois Infantry Regiment. The 104th Illinois Infantry was organized at Ottawa, Illinois, and mustered in for three years duration of service on August 27, 1862. The 104th Regiment was then ordered to Louisville, Ky. and subsequently marched from Louisville to Frankfort, Ky., in September 1862, and duty there until October 25. It then moved to Hartsville, Tenn., on October 26 and saw action at Hartsville December 7.

The Battle of Hartsville, Tennessee

The Battle of Hartsville was fought on December 7, 1862, in northern Tennessee at the opening of the Stones River Campaign. Hartsville Battlefield is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Battle of Hartsville is described as one of the single most decisive battle of the Civil War. During the engagement, Pvt. Houghton's 104th Illinois Infantry Regiment was overwhelmed by Col. John Hunt Morgan, (a descendant of the privateer Henry Morgan) and his Confederate 2nd Kentucky Cavalry Regiment. The Regiment was paroled by Col. Morgan and sent to Camp Douglas, Chicago, Ill., with duty there as paroled prisoners of war until April 1863, CSA president Jefferson Davis happened to be in the vicinity at Murfreesboro and promoted Col Morgan to Brig. Gen in person for his actions and success at the Hartsville battle. The total number of captured Union soldiers were estimated at over 2000 soldiers.

Camp Douglas, Chicago, Illinois

Pvt. Houghton and his Regiment was sent to Camp Douglas, Chicago, Ill., and performed duty there as paroled prisoners of war until April 1863, when declared exchanged. It is notable that Camp Douglas was a Union Forces Prisoner of War camp for the confinement of captured Confederate soldiers and that the US 104th Illinois Infantry along with the other units captured were all Union prisoners. They were held as paroled prisoners waiting for a Confederate exchange, which occurred during the war. In the aftermath of the war, Camp Douglas eventually came to be described as the North's "Andersonville" for its poor conditions and death rate of between 17 and 23 per cent. it is estimated that from 1862 through 1865, more than 6,000 Confederate prisoners died from disease, starvation, and the bitter cold winters, based in part on an 1880s memorial in Chicago's Oak Woods Cemetery that states 6,000 Confederate dead (4,275 known dead) are buried there in a mass grave.

On release from Camp Douglas in April of 1863, the newly released and reformed 104th Regiment was ordered to Brentwood, Tenn., then to Murfreesboro, Tenn., and duty there until June 1863.

Pvt George L. Houghton's Medal of Honor Actions at the Elk River Bridge

Pvt. Houghton received his country's highest award for bravery the "Medal of Honor" during combat actions on July 2, 1863 at Elk River, Tennessee. Pvt Houghton volunteered for a dangerous mission that no one expected them to survive. A small volunteer 10 man party was tasked to attack and secure a fortified blockhouse guarding the railroad bridge over the Elk River. The railroad and the intact bridge was critical to the movement of supplies to support The Tullahoma Campaign (or Middle Tennessee Campaign). Along with Houghton, nine other members from Company D of the 104th Illinois Infantry, known as "The La Salle County Regiment" -- received the Medal of Honor for participating in the same heroic action. The below is an account extracted from a Article by Charles Stanley, [email protected]. "7 from 'The La Salle County Regiment' earned Medals of Honor for same deed" [1]

On July 2, 1863, while the nation's eyes were on a battle in Gettysburg, Pa., in Tennessee rebel troops in a blockhouse guarding a railroad bridge across the Elk River were holding up the advance of Union troops. Sgt. George Marsh of Company D was told by his superiors to pick a squad of volunteers to attempt what seemed a suicide attack across the open and burning bridge. "Many offered to go, but I took the first 10 who stepped forward, and started for the fortification," Marsh later recalled. Amazingly, none of the Company D troops were injured and the blockhouse was captured. "No one who saw us go into the fight expected to see us come out alive, but we did, and without the loss of a man," said Marsh.

In 1897, the six known existing members of the unit received Medals of Honor for the deed. The names of all 10 heroes were clearly set forth in the 1895 regimental history of the 104th Illinois Infantry, but four were either dead or believed to be dead. Pvt Houghton was honored with the award on March 27, 1900.
