EIGHTY-SECOND OHIO INFANTRY.

This regiment was organized December 31, 1861, under Col. James Cantwell, and, in January, 1862, moved into West Virginia and encamped near the village of Fetterman. Here it spent several weeks engaged in drilling, disciplining and active preparations for the field. On the 16th of March, the Eighty-second was assigned to Gen. Schenck's command, and, after exploring the Lost River region in search of Harness, the noted guerrilla, moved to the relief of Gen. Milroy; then threatened by Stonewall Jackson at McDowell, and participated in the assault on Bull Pasture Mountain and the retreat to Franklin.

On the 25th of May, Schenck's brigade left Franklin with the army under Fremont, following the rebels through Strasburg on to Cross Keys, and was present at the battle at that place on the 8th of June, though not actively engaged. It followed Jackson to the Shenandoah, then returned through New Market, Mount Jackson and Strasburg to Middletown, where Gen. Sigel took command of the army. In the organization of the Army of Virginia under Gen. Pope the Eighty-second was assigned to an independent brigade under Milroy, of the First Corps, Sigel's command.

In August, it was again engaged with Jackson at Cedar Mountain. A few days later, the two armies met on the opposite banks (if the Rappahannock River, find for more than a week kept up an incessant skirmishing, the enemy making many attempts to gain Waterloo Bridge, which was defended by Milroy's brigade. When orders were received for the destruction of the bridge, the work was intrusted to the Eighty-second. Then followed the he second Bull Run battle, in which the regiment fought with conspicuous gallantry, losing heavily. In this engagement Col. Cantwell was killed, and Col. James S. Robinson assumed command. On the 3d of September the he First Corps proceeded to Fairfax C. H: and the Eighty-second was attached to Gen. Sigel's headquarters. While here, Sigel's Corps was denominated the Eleventh and assigned to the Army of the Potomac. It participated in the advance on Fredericksburg, and in December went into winter quarters at Stafford C. H. Gen. Howard succeeded Gen. Sigel in command of the Eleventh Corps; and the Eighty-second having been relieved from duty at headquarters reported to Gen. Schurz, its division commander, and by him was designated as a battalion of sharp-shooters for the division, subject to his personal direction. In the movement upon Chancellorsville on the 2d of May, the Eighty-second performed good service; and from this time until the 7th was engaged in the trenches or on the picket line. When the army fell back, the regiment returned to Stafford and remained quietly in a its old camp until the 10th of June. Then, having been assigned to the Second Brigade of the Third Division it moved on the Gettysburg campaign, and so severe wits its loss in this sanguinary battle that only ninety-two of the 258 men who went into the action remained to guard its colors.

The Eleventh Corps followed in pursuit of the retreating enemy as far as Warrenton Junction. At Hagerstown. the Eighty-second had been assigned to the First Brigade of the Third Division, and when the Third Division was ordered to guard the Orange & Alexandria Railroad, it was placed at Catlett's Station, where it performed guard and patrol duty until September. On the 25th, the regiment, with the Eleventh Corps, was transferred to the Army of the Cumberland, and participated in the battle of Wauhatchie October 28, and in the assaults upon Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge. It followed in pursuit of Bragg, then marched to the relief of Knoxville, but when within a few miles of that city information was received that the siege had been raised and the troops returned to their old encampment in Lookout Valley. On January 1, 1864, the Eighty-second reenlisted for another three years' service ; on the 10th, started to Ohio on veteran furlough ; on the 23d of February, reassembled at Columbus, Ohio, with 200 recruits, and, on the 3d of March, joined its brigade at Bridgeport, Ala. Here the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps were consolidated, forming the Twentieth, and the Eighty-second was assigned to the Third Brigade, First Division of this corps. On the 30th of April, marching orders were received and the regiment entered upon the Atlanta campaign, moving toward Resaca. On the 14th of May, it assisted the Fourth Corps in repulsing an attack by the rebels on the Dalton road, and in the engagement of the next day held an important position with but slight loss, being protected by breastworks. On the 19th, the enemy was found in position near Cassville, but withdrew without a battle. At Dallas the regiment took an active part, holding the center of the line. The entire brigade was exposed to a heavy fire, by sunset, almost every cartridge was gone, and it was only by searching the cartridge boxes of the dead and wounded that a straggling fire was kept up until night, when the brigade was relieved. On the 28th, it escorted a supply train for ammunition to Kingston and back, and on the 6th of June went into position near Pine Knob, where it remained until the 15th. It was not actively engaged at Kenesaw except in skirmishing. On the 20th of July, it crossed Peach Tree Creek and found the rebels in the woods about four miles from Atlanta. The regiment lost in this affair seventy-five killed and wounded. During the siege of Atlanta, the Eighty-second occupied an important but exposed position. On one occasion the regimental colors were carried away and torn to shreds by a cannon ball. On the 20th of August, it was removed to a position on the Chattahoochee, and Gen. Slocum assumed command of the corps. On

the 2d of September, the national forces took possession of Atlanta, and the regiment went into camp in the suburbs. On the 15th of November, it moved with Sherman's army to the sea-a detachment taking part in the encounter with Wheeler's cavalry at Buffalo Creek. From Savannah it marched through the Carolinas. At Lancaster, on the 27th of February, 1865, some foragers from the Eighty-second captured a beautiful silk banner. The regiment took it prominent par, in the engagement at Averysboro, losing two officers and eight men wounded, and was again actively engaged in the last battle of the war at Bentonville, in which it lost two officers and nine men wounded and fourteen men missing. From Bentonville it moved to Goldsboro, and on the 9th of April was consolidated with the Sixty-first Ohio, the new organization being denominated the Eighty-second . After the surrender of Johnston at Raleigh, the regiment marched to Washington, and having participated in the grand review on the 24th of May, went into Camp near Fort Lincoln.

On the 15th of June, it moved to Louisville, Ky., where it remained until the 25th of July, then proceeding to Columbus, Ohio, it was discharged July 29, 1865

Company H, of the Eighty-second Infantry, was recruited mostly in Union County, and was mustered into the service with the following commissioned officers : Nicholas Jerolaman, Captain; W. D. W. Mitchell, First Lieutenant, and L. B. Lippitt, Second Lieutenant. Capt. Jerolaman resigned July 7, 1862, and Lieut. W. D. Mitchell was promoted to Captain of the company. Capt. Mitchell fell, mortally wounded, at Gettysburg July 1, 1863, and from that date until April, 1864, the company was commanded by Sergeants. Lieut. J. P. Davis was in command from April, 1864, to October, 1864; Lieut. W. H. Thompson, from October. 1864, to April, 1865 ; and Capt. Gradyiski from April until July, 1865.

EIGHTY-SIXTH OHIO INFANTRY.

Three Months Organization.

On the 26th of May, 1862, Gov. Tod called upon the military committee of Union County for one hundred men, and on the 3d of June a company of eighty-eight left Marysville for Columbus. The men were all recruited in this county and entered the service for three months.

At Columbus the company was assigned to the Eighty-sixth Regiment and mustered into service with the following commissioned officers: William H. Robb, Captain; G L. Sellers, First Lieutenant, and Charles Cavis, Second Lieutenant.

There were two organizations of the Eighty-sixth; the first was recruited in response to a Call from the President for 75,000 men in May, 1862, to serve for three months for the protection of the Northern States, then threatened by the Rebel General, Stonewall Jackson. It was organized on the Hill of June, tinder Col. B. Burns, and left Ohio for Clarksburg, W. Va., on the 17th, where it was stationed to guard the railroad and protect Grafton the base of supplies for the troops at West on, Buckhannon and Beverly. On the 27th of July, companies A, C, H and I moved to Parkersburg in expecting of a raid upon that place, but were recalled to Clarksburg on the 21st of August to prevent a rebel force under Jenkins from crossing Cheat Mountain. Jenkins succeeded in crossing the mountains at another point, and, after capturing Buckhannon and Weston, and destroying large quantities of Government stores, returned to the mountains of West Virginia. The term of service having expired, the Eighty-sixth was ordered to Camp Delaware, Ohio, where it was mustered out September 25, 1862.

EIGHTY-SIXTH OHIO INFANTRY.

(Six Months' Organization)

The second organization of this number for six months' service was completed in July, 1863, under Col. W. C. Lemert, and was composed chiefly of the members of the old three months' Eighty-sixth. It took the field against John Morgan, who was then raiding in Ohio. The Eighty-sixth was ordered to Zanesville, and on its arrival a detachment under Lieut. Col. McFarland proceeded to Eagleport, on the Muskingum River, to intercept the enemy, but arrived just in time to witness the crossing of the rear guard of the rebel forces. Not being strong enough to attack, the commander could only detain the raiders as long as possible by skirmishing, then return to Zanesville.

The remainder of the regiment had proceeded to Cambridge, expecting to meet Morgan at that place, but arrived too late. It followed in pursuit, however, and with the command of Col. Shackelford, captured the rebel forces near Salineville, Columbiana Co., Ohio.

In August the Eighty-sixth was ordered to Kentucky, and having joined the troops under Col. John DeCourcy, at Camp Nelson, moved into East Tennessee. On the 8th of September, the combined forces arrived in front of Cumberland Gap. Col. DeCourcy, in order to exaggerate the number of his troops, resorted to the strategy of dividing each regiment, thus making. apparently, two of one. This scheme had the desired effect, and the rebels supposed his forces nearly treble their actual number. About this time Maj. Gen. Burnside arrived with his command, on the opposite side of the Gap, and the enemy was completely surrounded. On the 9th, after disposing of the troops to the beat advantage, in case of resistance, a formal summons was sent to the rebel commander for a surrender of the place. The demand was assented to, and the Eighty-sixth then moved into the fort and took possession. Two thousand eight hundred prisoners, 5,000 stands of arms, thirteen pieces of artillery and large quantities of ammunition, were the fruits of this expedition.

A detachment of the Eighty-sixth, including Company B, conducted the prisoners to Lexington, Ky., then returned to the Gap and with the regiment remained as a part of the garrison until its term of service expired. Owing to the great distance from the base of supplies, the troops at the garrison were compelled to subsist off of the surrounding country much of the time. Foraging parties were forced to go a great distance in their efforts to secure a sufficient supply, and encounters with guerrillas were a frequent occurrence.

On the 16th of January, 1864, the Eighty-sixth started for home, and on the 10th of February was mustered out at Cleveland, Ohio.

Company B, of the Eighty-sixth Infantry, was raised in Union County, and was mustered into the United States service at Camp Chase in July, 1863, with the following commissioned officers:

J. W. Fields, Captain; U. D. Cole, First Lieutenant, and Brown Newlove, Second Lieutenant.

Six of the members of Company B died while in the service, and one was wounded.

The county was also represented in Companies C, H and K, of this regiment.

EIGHTY-NINTH OHIO INFANTRY.

The Eighty-ninth Ohio was organized and mustered into the service on the 26th of August, 1862. It served in West Virginia until the spring of 1863, when it moved to Tennessee to re-enforce Gen. Rosecrans. In September, the Eighty-ninth, while engaged in the battle of Chickamauga, was surrounded and captured almost entire by a division of the enemy; the officers were sent to Libby Prison and the men to Andersonville, where many of them died of starvation and exposure.

The remnant of the regiment under Maj. Jolly, participated in the assault upon Mission Ridge, and in May, 1864, joined the Atlanta campaign, fighting in all the battles, to the end. It marched to the sea with Sherman, and through the Carolinas on to Washington. It was mustered out June 18, 1865.

NINETY-SIXTH OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

The Ninety-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry was raised in the Eighth Congressional District, comprising the counties of Union, Delaware, Knox, Morrow. Marion and Logan; and, embracing representatives from various avocations of life, embodied its noble and intelligent a body of men as were mustered into the service of their country.

The regiment was organized at Camp Delaware August 29, 1862, numbering 1,014 men, rank and file. Its principal officers had seen service, and were well qualified for their respective positions. The field officers were Joseph W. Vance, Colonel, of Mt. Vernon; A. H. Brown Lieutenant Colonel, of Marion; Charles H. McElroy, Major, of Delaware; D. W. Henderson, Surgeon, of Marysville.

On the 1st of September, 1862, the regiment left Camp Delaware, by way of Columbus, for Cincinnati, and, arriving in that city the same evening, crossed the Ohio River and quartered in the streets of Covington for the night; remaining there a week, sleeping at night upon the streets. and were fed by the loyal citizens of the place. On the 8th of September, went into camp three miles back of Newport, Ky., and occupied the advance on that part of our line during the threatened attack of Kirby Smith upon Covington, Newport and Cincinnati.

On the 8th. of October, the regiment in the brigade of Gen. Burbridge. A. J. Smith commanding the division of the Thirteenth Army Corps, marched to Falmouth. thence to Cynthiana, Paris, Lexington and Nicholasville. At the latter place they remained in camp two or three weeks ; thence marched to Louisville, where they remained in the mind on the Ohio River for a few days. then embarked for Memphis Tenn., on the 19th of November, where they were encamped about a month. While there they were reviewed by Gen. Sherman and ordered to embark on the Steamer Hiawatha and proceed Iowa the river with the forces under his command, the objective point being Vicksburg, Miss. The men were blissfully ignorant of the severe service awaiting them, but were soon brought to a realization of circumstances that every participant must look back to with horror. The whole regiment and its outfit of wagons. teams, etc together with the Seventeenth Ohio Battery with its guns, horses and mules, were packed on this small craft. Nearly every member of the battery was sick with the measles. The horses and mules were placed on deck, their heads tied on either side, forming between them a narrow aisle. Only partial rations or hard bread and roasted coffee could be had the only resort being flour and green coffee. which required cooking and roasting. It may have been a necessity, but certainly it was a bitter fatality. The only facility for clacking was a small stove on the after deck, to reach which it was necessary to run the gauntlet or two hundred pairs of treacherous heels and the filth of such a stable. First, the coffee and the meat. were cooked and eaten with hard bread, but the supply of the latter was good, exhausted and the men were forced to mix flour with water and bake in on the same stove With the best effort possible, it was often 2 o'clock before all had their breakfast with the half-cooked material. As if this were not all that flesh and blood could endure, cold rain continually drenched all who were not under cover, and for want of room many were forced to remain on the hurricane deck, famished with hunger and tortured with sleeplessness. All day and all night the little stove was occupied by men preparing the unhealthy rations, that, while they saved from immediate starvation, were not slow, in connection with other causes, in developing diseases that were equally fatal to those who were exposed and those who were packed close in the ill-ventilated and over-crowded apartments. Everywhere were sunken eyes, thin checks and tottering steps. Surgeon Henderson, with his assistants, labored incessantly to check disease and relieve the sufferings of the men, but typhoid, measles and erysipelas were masters, everything seemingly rendering them aid. Death did a frightful work. On its way the regiment. disembarked at, Milliken's, Bend on the 20th and made a forced march to Dallas Station, La., on the Vicksburg,

S. & T. Railroad, a distance of twenty-eight miles, over a narrow road out through a dense cypress forest, over stretches of corduroy and thick intervening mud of the low marshes, burning depots and warehouses, destroying a large amount of railroad property, tearing up the track for miles, returning the following day in a pelting storm of cold rain, having marched fifty-six miles in less than forty hours. After privations on the boat, this work was terribly painful and disastrous.

The regiment was taken on down the river to the Yazoo (the River of Death), and up that river to Johnson's Lending; there disembarked and marched to Chickasaw Bluffs and participated in the first attack on Vicksburg, where the Union forces were defeated. Then proceeding to Arkansas Post, they took an active part in the assault upon the works capturing 7,000 prisoners, losing tau killed an a twenty-six wounded. After this engagement, it at once accompanied the army under Grant in the flank movement to the rear of Vicksburg and took part in the siege until the surrender, July 4, 1863. Then it marched on to Jackson, taking part in the siege until its evacuation on the 17th of July, thence back to Vicksburg, and from there by steamer to Carrollton, La. From that point it made several expeditions and scouts. It was next engaged in what was called the Teche campaign, and participated in the battle of Grand Coteau on the 3d of November. This was a desperate fight against overwhelming numbers, the regiment losing 110 men killed, wounded and missing.

In December, the regiment was ordered to Texas, where it operated against Dick Taylor's forces until March, 1864, then returning to Brashear City, La., entered upon the Red River campaign under Gen. Banks. On the 8th of April, were engaged in the battle of Sabine Cross Roads, losing fifty-six men killed, wounded and missing; among the former were the gallant Col. Vance and Capt. Coulter; among the latter was Capt. Evans, who returned to his command after an absence of ten months in rebel prisons. Then followed the engagements of Peach Orchard Grove, Pleasant Hill and Cane River.

On the let of August the regiment with the Thirteenth Corps embarked for Dauphine Island, in the rear of Fort Gaines, and were the first troops to land in rear of that fort, and participated in the siege till the surrender of the fort on the 8th with 1,000 prisoners. Then proceeded on board gunboat to the rear of Fort Morgan and participated in the siege of that fort until its surrender on the 22d. On the 1st of September, the regiment returned to Louisiana, and in November proceeded to the mouth of White River, in Arkansas. The regiment was so reduced in numbers by continued losses that a consolidation became necessary, and was effected by special order on the 18th of November. At the request of the officers, and as a special honor to the regiment, it was not united with any other organization, but was consolidated into four companies, receiving one company from the Forty-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, whose term of service had not expired with that of their regiment, making a battalion of five companies called the Ninety-sixth Battalion, Lieut. Col. A. H. Brown commanding. Company B, of Knox, E, of Marion, and K, of Union, were consolidated, making Company C, commanded by Capt. Evans. The battalion continued to operate in Arkansas until February, 1865, whence it removed to the rear of Fort Spanish, the key of Mobile, Ala., participating in the siege of that fort, which resulted in its capture on the 8th of April. A few minutes after the surrender, the regiment was marching to the assistance of Gen. Steele, who had for some days been investing Fort Blakely, fifteen miles north of Spanish Fort. Upon the arrival of Gen. Granger's corps on the field, Gen. Steele's troops stormed the fort, capturing 5,000 prisoners. This is said to be the last battle of the war. The battalion then proceeded on the 11th to Stark's Landing, and took passage on the morning of the 12th in company with a fleet of gunboats, across the bay for the city of Mobile. A landing of the infantry was effected below the rebel stronghold and marched toward it, the gunboats sending shells of warning that we were upon them. The reason of no response soon appeared in the form of a white flag. After the surrender of Mobile, the battalion joined an expedition to Nannahubbah Bluff, on the Tombigbee River, and also McIntosh Bluffs.

The last volley fired by the Ninety-sixth was on the 12th day of April, at Whistler Station, seven miles above Mobile, in a lively skirmish with Dick Taylor's retreating forces. The regiment returned to Mobile on the 9th of May, where it remained until mustered out, July 7, 1865, excepting-forty men, whose term of service had not expired, and who were transferred to the her Seventy-seventh Battalion, Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry, and served as a detachment in that battalion until March, 1866.

The Ninety-sixth, from the time of entering the field until the close of tile war, was on continuously active and most of the time hard service. It embarked at Mobile for Camp Chase, by way of New Orleans, arriving at Columbus the 29th day of July, where they were paid off and disbanded, at which time they numbered 427 men, including one company from the Forty-second Ohio. The regiment marched 1,683 miles, and was transported by boat 7,686 miles, by railroad 517 miles, making a total of 9,886 miles.

Company K of this regiment was recruited in Union County, and was mustered into the service with H. C. Hamilton, Captain; J. C. Cline, First Lieutenant; Thomas L. Evans, Second Lieutenant; M. G. Mains, First Sergeant. This company left Marysville with 113 men; eleven were rejected by Surgeon Henderson, who having had large experience in the Mexican war knew that it required sound men to endure the hardships of war,


500 - UNION COUNTY

hence the rigid examination. Thirteen men were recruited for this company in the fall of 1863 and winter of 1864 by Sergt. Liggett, making a total mustered into this company from Union County of 115. Union County was also represented in several other companies of this regiment. Of the whole number of Company K, forty-three died on the battle-field and in hospitals; ten were wounded and six were prisoners. Thirty-three of the original number were mustered out at Camp Chase in 1865.

Capt. Hamilton resigned his commission on account of disability, August 9, 1863; Lieut. Cline was promoted to Captain, and resigned his commission March 18 1864; Lieut. Evans was promoted to First Lieutenant January 22, 1864, was commissioned Captain in April, 1864, was taken prisoner at the battle of Sabine Cross Roads, April 8, and was not mustered until his release. First Sergt. M. G. Mains was discharged for disability and David Edwards was promoted to First Sergeant, and discharged on account of disability February 20, 1863. W. H.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIRST OHIO INFANTRY.

The One Hundred and Twenty-first Ohio was organized in the early fall of 1862, under Col. William P. Reed, the majority of its members being without a knowledge of even the first principles of military tactics.

Companies A and I were wholly, and Company C, partly, recruited in Union County. Companies B, D, E, F, G and H also contained representatives from this county.

When the companies were organized, M. C. Lawrence was elected Captain of Company A, D. H. Henderson, First Lieutenant, and J. W. Jones, Second Lieutenant, and A. B. Robinson was elected Captain of Company I, Andrew Dockum, First Lieutenant, and Joseph White Second Lieutenant.

These two companies left Marysville on the 3d day of September, 1862, for Camp Delaware, where the regiment rendezvoused.

Company A went into camp with 102 men, and Company I with 116.

Recruits were assigned to the different companies during their service, making the total number of enlistments 300, this being the greatest number of men from this county serving in any one regiment. Of this number, seventeen were killed, forty-two died of wounds and disease, eighty-two were wounded, and thirty-two were taken prisoners, making a total loss of 173.

When the regiment was organized, Capt. Lawrence was the ranking line officer, having the right flanking company. and Company I the right center, being two very important positions in the regiment, and as time proved, these two companies were to play an important part in this desperate game of war.



The One Hundred and Twenty-first was mustered into the service on the 11th of September, 1862, and immediately went to Cincinnati, crossed the Ohio River and went into camp at Covington, Ky., on the 12th. At this place, it was armed with a lot of condemned Austrian rifles which were absolutely worthless; then moved to Louisville, and was attached to Gen. McCook's Division.

Inexperienced and without an hour's drilling, the regiment marched with Gen. Buell's forces against Bragg's rebel army, and on the 8th of October was led into the battle of Perryville, where it received its first baptism of blood.

Of Company A, James D. Hatcher was mortally wounded, and Oliver W. Weeks, seriously wounded in this engagement; and of Company I, Lieut. White was killed ; B. P. Hildreth and John P. Bailey severely wounded, and George Lockhart, Alexander Gandy, James M. Lucas Marshall Morris and E. Patch were taken prisoners.

Many strong men were broken down in these first months' hard service, and never afterward returned to their companies.

The regiment was detailed to bury the dead at Perryville; then continued in Kentucky performing guard duty until January, 1863, On the 31st of December, 1862, the regimental hospital was captured at Campbellsville, Ky., and Alexander Baker, Nathan Baker, S. B. Cone, James C. Cone and John R. Cameron of Company A, and William McNier, F. M. McClaskey, James M. Simpson, Oliver Simpson, William R. Sherwood , Martin Snyder, H. S, Sprague, William Burrows' Hiram Hawley and John Brannon of Company I were taken prisoners and paroled.

On the 1st of February, 1863, the regiment moved into Tennessee and was employed in watching and protecting the right flank of Gen. Rosecrans' army, then stationed at Murfreesboro.

About this time Col. H. B. Banning was transferred to the command of the regiment; and the prisoners of Perryville had been ex. changed and they and many of the sick re. turned to their companies.

The One Hundred and Twenty-first moved from Stone River with Gen. Rosecrans' army and on this march was engaged in a slight skirmish with the rebel Gen. Forrest at Triune on the 3d of June. A few days later I it occupied Shelbyville, Tenn., and after remaining there several weeks advanced to Fayetteville, where it continued until the 1st of September, when orders were received to join the Reserve Corps under Gen. Gordon Granger anti proceed to Chattanooga.

On the 20th of September, 1863, the regiment was engaged in that memorable charge of Steedman's Division at the battle of Chickamauga, in which they drove the enemy at the point of the bayonet from the field and held it against repeated attacks until the close of the battle, the One Hundred and Twenty-first being the last regiment to leave the battle-field, and bearing away with it the flag of the Twenty-second Alabama Infantry, which was captured and borne, away in triumph by one Solomon Fish, of Mill Creek Township, a member of Company C. it is concluded that this timely aid of the Reserve Corps saved Gen. Thomas' army from defeat.

Capt. Lawrence commanded the regiment on this occasion during the greater part of the battle, while yet ranking as a Captain. and Sergt. Otway Curry assumed command of Company A.

The loss of the regiment in this engagement was eleven officers and eighty-seven men. Of Company A, Amos Amrine was missing; Thomas Marshall, John J. Ramage, Solomon


MILITARY RECORD. - 505

Hisey, Henry F. Jackson, O. S. Myres and Samuel Walters were wounded and Solomon Hisey wounded and taken prisoner. Of Company I, Lieut.

Rupright, Edwin Sager and Richard White were wounded.

After the battle of Chickamauga, the regiment shared in the battles of Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge and in the march to the relief of Knoxville, then remained quietly, in camp at Roseville until entering upon the Atlanta campaign.



Capt. Lawrence was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in November, 1863, and was in command of the regiment during the winter of 1863 and 1864. Col. Banning being home on recruiting service, Lieut. B. A. Banker having command of Company A, the greater part of the time, and Capt. Moorehouse, of Company I, from the battle of Chickamauga until the return of Capt. Robinson in January, 1864.

On the 2d of May, 1864, the One Hundred and Twenty-first started on the Atlanta campaign. Companies A and I and two other companies were selected to make a dangerous charge upon Buzzard's Roost, which was successfully dome with but little loss, then shared in the battle at Dalton a few days later, having passed through Snake Creek Gap mud from that point until the fall of Atlanta, September 1, the regiment was continually under fire. It was in the engagement at Ressea and as a part of Gen. J. C. Davis' division was at the capture of Rome, Ga. At the battle of Kenesaw Mountain, the regiment held the extreme right of the Union forces and with fixed bayonet charged up nearly to the breast-works of the enemy in &vain effort to drive them from their strong position. A deadly cross fire of shot, shell and grape killed and disabled 150 out of less than 400 of the One Hundred and Twenty-first. All with few exceptions were killed or wounded in the open tield in front of the enemy's works, in about five minutes.

Company A lost in this engagement John G. Perry, killed; O. B. Cone mortally wounded, and Henry F. Jackson, F. B. Hargrove, L. A. N. Craig, Henry Coats, W. H. Goff, and Hiram Laughry, wounded.

Company I lost, on the 20th, James Chapman, killed; on the 22d, A. Drake and John Vanderau wounded, and on the 27th, Edward Phillips, Alexander Scott, I. N. Dillon, A. C. Rosecrans, E. Sager and A.

Wood, James A. Snodgrass, Daniel Cooperider, J. P. Goodrich and John Reed wounded. The two companies losing twelve killed and died of wounds, and thirty wounded.

From the 9th of July until the l7th, the regiment was engaged on the banks of the Chattahoochie River; on the 18th and 20th it routed the enemy and occupied his position at Peach Tree Creek, Company A losing two men-S. B. Cone and John Jolliff-wounded. in this engagement, and on the 22d joined its brigade and took position on the right of the National line, three miles from Atlanta. In the movement upon Jonesboro it took the advance, acting as skirmishers for the Second Division, leading the Fourteenth Corps. Capt. Henderson, of Company K, and John Cooperider, of Company 1, were wounded in this battle, and John Ports, of Company A, killed.

On the 2d of September Atlanta surrendered, and on the 6th the regiment went into camp near that city. The One Hundred and Twenty-first entered the Atlanta campaign with four hundred and twenty-eight non-commissioned officers and men, and eighteen commissioned officers. Four officers were killed and eight wounded. Twenty-two men were killed, two hundred and five wounded, and one captured.

On the 29th of September, the regiment joined the expedition against Forrest's rebel cavalry, and having driven him across Tennessee, into Alabama, returned, and marched in pursuit of Hood's army.

On the 2d of October, Lieut. Col. Lawrence resigned, and on the 19th Col. Banning left the regiment, and the command devolved on A. B. Robinson, who had been promoted to Major and mustered on the 17th of September. Maj. Robinson was afterward promoted to Colonel, and commanded the regiment from the fall of Atlanta until the close of the war. Lieut. Cavis was transferred from Company A to Company I, and promoted Captain. Lieut. D. H. Henderson was promoted to Captain, and also to Major. He commanded Company K during the greater part of the service. Capt. Banker had command of Company A from August, 1864, until the close of the war, and Capt. O. Carry, of Company C and also of Company I, from the battle of Bentonville until the end of the war.

The One Hundred and Twenty-first joined Gen. Sherman at Rome, Ga., and marched with his army to the sea. After the fall of Savannah, the regiment moved through the Carolinas, taking an active part in the engagement at Bentonville, losing six men killed and twenty wounded.

Company A lost John Sparks killed, and J. L. Porter, T. Prosser, J. G. Irwin and J. C. Warner, wounded; and Company I lost C. B. Miller, killed, Capt. C. P. Cavis mortally wounded, and P. Vanderau and James Dunn severely wounded.

The large number of casualties is the best evidence that can be given of the dangerous service rendered by these companies, and the members are justly proud of the record of the One Hundred and Twenty-first.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE OHIO INFANTRY

This regiment was organized August 10, 1863, under Col. H. D. John. for Six months' service, and immediately started for Camp Nelson, Ky., where it was brigaded with the Eighty-sixth Ohio, another six months, regiment, the Twenty-second Ohio Battery, and a regiment of Tennessee mounted infantry, and placed under command of Col. De Courcy, of the Sixteenth Ohio. The brigade thus formed was incorporated with the Ninth Army Corps, and, on the 20th of August, left Camp Nelson for Cumberland Gap, where it arrived on the morning of the 8th of September. The place was thus completely invested, Gen. Burnside having simultaneously appeared with a force on the southeastern side. As our forces appeared before the main fort in regular line of battle, the rebels saluted them with three shells, but without damage. This was all the resistance made to the National advance, excepting from the pickets as they were driven into the intrenchments. A formal demand being made by the National, commander for the surrender of the post, Gen. Frazier at ones acceded, and the whole garrison fell into our hands, with the exception of a small force of cavalry. The fruits of this bloodless victory were over two thousand two hundred prisoners, fourteen pieces of artillery, and a large amount of war material of all kinds. The One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Ohio remained at the Gap, en. gaged in foraging, scouting, picket duty, etc., until the 1st of December, when it was ordered to move at daylight, receiving but two hours' notice. The regiment marched through Tazewell, and in the direction of Clinch River, which was reached next day at the point where the Knoxville road crosses that Stream. At this point a sharp engagement was in progress with a division of Longstreet's corps. The One Hundred and Twenty-ninth was led into this engagement, and acquitted themselves in a creditable manner. From the 2d until the last of December, the regiment was kept constantly moving along the line of Clinch River watching the enemy, and occasionally skirmishing with him. From Tazewell the regiment returned to the Gap, where it remained until the beginning of February;. then it started for Camp Nelson. From there it proceeded to Ohio, and was mustered out by companies during the month of March. 1864.



A the month of fifteen or twenty men were recruited in Union County by W. H. Robinson, and was assigned to Company G, of the One Hundred mud Twenty-ninth Ohio. When the Company organized, William H. Robinson was elected Second Lieutenant, and C. L. Robinson was appointed Sergeant.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVENTH OHIO INFANTRY,

The One Hundred and Eighty-seventh Ohio was one of the regiments raised under the last call of President Lincoln for troops to serve for one year. It was organized March 1, 1865, under Col. R. Z. Dawson, and soon after muster received orders to move to Nashville, Tenn. From there it proceeded to Dalton, Ga., where it remained in camp for two months, attending to drill and discipline and performing Scouting service.

The regiment then moved to Kingston and received the paroles of about 2,000 rebel soldiers, who presented themselves at that place, professing to belong to the surrendered armies of Johnston and Lee.

Returning to Dalton, the One Hundred and Eighty-seventh spent another month in camp at that place, when, the railroad having been repaired, it was placed on the cars, taken to Macon, Ga., where it performed provost duty until mustered out in January, 1866. It then returned to Ohio and was finally paid off and discharged on the 23d day of that month.

The One Hundred and Eighty-seventh drew one company from Union County. Company B was wholly recruited in the county, and left Marysville for Camp Chase on Tuesday morning, February 14, 1865, where it was mustered into the United States service, under the following commissioned officers: W. P. Welsh, Captain; J. K. Guthrie, First Lieutenant; and N. C. Welsh, Second Lieutenant.

While in the service one of the members of Company B was wounded in a skirmish at Dalton, Ga., and five, including Capt. J. K. Guthrie, died in the hospitals.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SIXTH OHIO INFANTRY.

This regiment was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, and mustered into the service on the 25th of March, 1865. More than two-thirds of the men composing this regiment had belonged to other organizations, and had been honorably discharged for wounds or expiration of term of service.

The One Hundred and Ninety-sixth was assigned to the Ohio Brigade at Winchester, W. Va., where it remained until July, and gained the reputation of being a well-drilled and well disciplined organization. In July, it was ordered to Baltimore, and assigned to duty in the fortifications around the city, a portion of it being sent to Fort Delaware. On the 11th of September, it was mustered out at Baltimore, Md., it being the last volunteer organization in that department.

As an organization, this regiment was probably excelled by but few in appearance, discipline and soldierly bearing; and although it was not entitled to inscribe on its colors the name of any engagement, still nearly every battle-field in the Union was represented in its ranks.

FIRST OHIO CAVALRY.

About fifty men were recruited in Union County for the First Ohio Cavalry, and this detachment was assigned about equally to Companies D and K. They enlisted during the month of August, 1861, under the first call for three years' troops.

Company K was organized at Plain City, the men having been recruited in Union, Madison and Franklin Counties. They left Plain City for Camp Chase on the 8th day of September, 1861, going across the country in carriages and wagons. A few days later the election of officers was held, and T. W. Forshee, of Madison County, was elected Captain; James Cutler, of Union, First Lieutenant; and A. H. McCurdy, Second Lieutenant; and W. L. Curry was appointed Orderly Sergeant.

There were no commissioned officers in Company D from this county, but several of the bravest and best non-commissioned officers in the regiment were Union County boys in this company, among whom were Sergeants John Newlove, Alvin Thompson, Leroy Scott and Thomas Amrine; and John Barbour, who was appointed Quartermaster Sergeant of the regiment. The officers of Company D were from Licking County. Two Captains of this company were killed in battle-Capt. D. A. B. Moore, who had been promoted to Major, and Capt. W. H. Scott - and Lieut. Ira Stevens died of disease.


524 - UNION COUNTY

Of Company K. Capt. Forshee and Lieut. McCurdy both resigned in June 1862, when the command of the company devolved upon Lieut, James Cutler.

To record the service of the First Ohio Cavalry is to write the history of every battle of the Army of the Cumberland, from Mill Springs, 1862. to Nashville. 1864. This regiment was organized during the summer of 1861, and was mustered in at Camp Chase on the 5th day of October 1861. Whitelaw Reid says in his history, "Ohio in the War:" "It may well be doubted whether more applicants were ever rejected from a similar organization in the service or if a nobler band of men in physical development could possibly have been selected from the yeomanry of Ohio."

Strict military discipline was inaugurated by Col. Ransom-who was a regular army officer - in drill, reports, and everything that pertained to the regular service of camp duty. On the 9th day of December, 1861, the regiment broke camp, marched through the capital and embarked on their first campaign, from whence many comrades were destined never again to return. Arrived at Cincinnati at daybreak the next morning, took boats and reached Louisville, Ky., on the morning of the 11th. the first regiment of cavalry to enter that department save Wolford's Kentucky regiment; and again quoting from Reid's history: "The First Ohio was the nucleus of that host of cavalry which, under the leadership of Stanley, Crooks, Mitchell, McCook, Kilpatrick, Long, Minty, Millikin and Wilson, achieved such triumphs for the country and fame for themselves."

The history of the cavalry of the Southwest - "its fearless rides, its daring raids, its bloody charges, its long nights of weary marching, as it carried desolation and destruction into the very heart of treason"-is a record of heroic achievements unsurpassed in the annals of that service.

The regiment remained at Camp Buell, Louisville, until the 16th of January, 1862, when orders were received to join Gen. Thomas, at Mill Springs. Never will the soldiers of the First Ohio forget that four days' march to Lebanon, through such rain as can only pour down in Kentucky and Tennessee, or Camp Frankenberger, where saddles and equipments were washed off by the mountain torrents on that memorable night, January 18. On the 19th Lebanon was reached and the regiment halted and resumed the regular routine of camp duty. While in this camp, the First Ohio encountered the enemy for the first time and made its first dash after John Morgan.

On the 14th of February, 1862, the regiment marched from Bardstown to Louisville, and on the 28th embarked for Nashville, where it arrived on the 6th of March. On the 14th, it led the advance of Gen. Buell's army to Pittsburg Landing. by making a dash in the night to save the bridge at Columbia across Duck River; but the bridge was burned by the fleeing rebels, and swimming their horses across the river, the cavalry took possession of the beautiful little city, which it held until the army arrived, laid pontoons, crossed the river, and made that ever-memorable march through rain and mud to Pittsburg Landing, leaving the wagon train and camping for weeks on the battle-field, without tents, raining constantly, and drinking the water from ravines draining from dead horses and men. Here the regiment saw its first real service in front of the rebel army, as the cavalry stood picket in advance of the infantry, and was constantly on duty in the advance on Corinth, skirmishing with the enemy almost daily. After the evacuation of Corinth and the pursuit of Bragg's army the First Ohio went into camp Company D having lost in a skirmish at Blackland. R. W. Irwin and James Anderson, wounded. Col. Smith left the regiment on the 10th of June. and on the 17th Col. Milliken took command.

The regiment then moved east to Tuscumbia.. and was scattered along the Memphis & Charleston Railroad guarding bridges. Companies E and K were stationed at Courtland, Ala., and on the 23d of July B. F. Lucas, of Company K, was killed near that place.

On the 25th, this detachment, with two companies of Kentucky infantry, was attacked by a brigade of confederate cavalry, under Gen. Armstrong, and after a sharp fight the two companies of infantry and about ten men of Company K-Lieut. Cutler, W. L. Curry, A. S Chears, Lewis Latham, John Patterson, A. L.. Sessler, John Johnson, William Johnson, J. F. Winters and S. P. Clark-were taken prisoners. The company was then commanded by Sergt. John Lucas until October, 1862, when Lieut. Cutler, having been exchanged, returned to the regiment, was promoted Captain, and commanded the company until he resigned, in March, 1863, when Sergt. Curry, who had been exchanged in February, 1863, and promoted to First Lieutenant, took command of the company. The First Ohio had its full share of hard service on the counter-march of Buell's army back to Louisville, Company D losing Marion Lansdown wounded in a skirmish at Bardstown, Ky., October, 1862, then participated in the battle of Perryville, in which A. W. Lock and J. M. Shultz, of Company K, were wounded.

It was actively engaged in the advance on Murfreesboro, losing heavily at Stone River. The list of killed included Col. Millikin, Maj. Moore, and Lieut. Conditt; also Wesley Poling, of Company D, and Adjt. Scott, wounded, with along list of heroes unnamed, but of undying fame. "The regiment fell back from its field of glory, where it had made one of the most heroic charges of the war, with saddened hearts, for weltering in his life's blood on the field of carnage, lay its young and gallant commander. He was mourned by his comrades as the brave mourn for the brave."

On the 24th of June, 1863, the regiment moved on the extreme left of the army, and shared in some hard fighting around Tullahoma and Elk River. In August, Lieut. Curry was


MILITARY RECORD. - 525

transferred to the command of Company M, which he commanded through the Chickamauga campaign. In the advance on Chattanooga, the First Ohio, under command of Lieut. Col. Cupp, crossed the Tennessee River September 2, and was conspicuous in the expedition under Gen. Stanley in the attempt to cut the railroad south of Chattanooga. After a severe encounter with a large force of the enemy near La Fayette, Ga., it passed up the Chattanooga valley, reached the battlefield of Chickamauga early on the morning of September 20, and lost heavily in the engagement of that day. Col. Cupp was killed while forming the regiment for a charge. His death was a severe blow to the regiment, as he was universally beloved. Of the 900 men composing the Second Brigade, 134 were killed and wounded. Company K lost in this engagement Abe Orr, killed, and Sergt. J. W. Chapin, J. F. Young, William Hiser and C. S. Irwin, wounded, and Lieut. Curry and C. Zeibold had horses shot under them. After falling back to Chattanooga, the troops were allowed no rest, but on the 26th of September started on the famous raid, driving Wheeler's cavalry from Washington, Tenn., to Muscle Shoals, Ala., taking more than 1,000 prisoners and several pieces of artillery.



In an engagement at Washington, Tenn., with Gen. Wheeler's cavalry, October, 1863, John Newlove, of Company D, was taken prisoner, and of Company K, Sergt. C. Byers, E. Garner and P. E: Goff were wounded, and James Henry, Sergt. E. Young. James Stanton, David Nedrow and Fred Wedo were taken prisoners. P. E. Goff, E. Garner and Fred Wedo died in Andersonville Prison. The regiment then returned to Chattanooga and took part in the assault upon Mission Ridge, where William Johnson, of Company K, was killed , and Thomas Amrine, of Company D, was wounded. After the battle of Mission Ridge, the First moved to the relief of Burnsides, at Knoxville, being the first regiment to reach that city, having several skirmishes on the way, and capturing many prisoners.

On the 16th of December a detachment of the regiment made a brilliant charge at Calhoun upon a rebel brigade commanded by Gen. Wheeler, with a loss of one killed and three wounded, and capturing 130 prisoners.

In November, 1863 Lieut. Curry again took command of Company K, re-enlisted with the regiment in January, 1864. and after the fall of Atlanta was appointed Quartermaster of the regiment, was promoted to Captain on the 14th of December, 1864, but the company was so much reduced in numbers he could not, be mustered as Captain.

After the veteran furlough the regiment was re-organized at Nashville, and on the 22d of May, 1864, started to join the advancing column of Sherman's army near Rome, Ga., encountering the enemy near Decatur, Ala.. on the 26th, and in the skirmish which followed, Corp. Samuel Darrah, of Company K, captured the flag of the Seventh Alabama Cavalry. Darrah was a brave and gallant soldier. After the war, he emigrated to Missouri, where he died a few years ago. On the 27th, the First Ohio took part in the engagement at Courtland, losing on this occasion five men wounded, and on the 29th participated in a severe skirmish at Moulton, with a loss of twenty killed and wounded. Of Company K, H. George was killed and L. Cooper wounded.

The regiment was in the memorable "one hundred days under fire" from Chattanooga to Atlanta, losing severely. Of Company D, Daniel Shobbell was killed near Atlanta. The losses of Company K in this campaign were Thomas Armstrong, Jeremiah Griffith and George Pearl, killed, and William Hiser, J. W. Robins and J. M. Shultz, wounded.

When Hood attempted to cut Sherman's communication between Atlanta and Chattanooga, the First Cavalry followed in pursuit and was engaged in several sharp fights, and when Sherman commenced preparations for his march to the sea, it joined the forces under Gen. Thomas, and after the victory at Nashville, rendezvoused at Gravelly Springs until March, 1865. On the 1st of April the regiment with Gen. Alexander's division gained a brilliant victory over Forrest's cavalry at Ebenezer's Church, Company K losing Sergt. F. P. Allen killed and John M. Shultz, wounded. On the 2d of April, Selma, Ala., was taken after a hard struggle.

The last fight of the First Ohio Cavalry was at Columbus, Ga., which was captured by a bold saber charge, Company K losing William Griffith, wounded, on this occasion.

A detachment of the First Cavalry under command of Capt. J. O. Yeoman, was with the command that captured the President of the Confederacy, among whom was John Newlove, of Company D, and J. F. Young, of Company K, both of Union County. Of the $100,000 reward paid for the capture of "Jeff Davis," Capt. Yeoman received $3,000 and Newlove and Young, $402 each.

The regiment garrisoned Georgia and South Carolina from April until September, then returned to Ohio and was mustered out at Camp Chase on the 28th of September, 1865, after four years' hard service, Company D having lost ten men on the field and in the hospitals, and twenty-eight taken prisoner, making a total loss of thirty-eight, and Company K having lost nine killed, twelve died in hospitals. twelve wounded and ten taken prisoner, making a total loss of forty-three.

During its term of service, Company D lost by death James Newman, Lieut. Ira Stevens and Harry Hildreth, and of Company K Martin Brant, William Newland, David Anderson, E. Garner, Fred Wedo, Francis Jones, J. S. Ewing and H. D. Warner, died.

The First Ohio Cavalry carried on its muster roll nearly 1800 names and mustered out at Camp Chase 701 men. It has a long roll of gallant heroes who were killed on the field of

battle, many wasted and died of diseases in the hospitals and prison pens of the South . Of those mustered out of service eighteen years ago, many are sleeping their last sleep in honored graves. Col. T. J. Patton was killed in a railroad collision on the Louisville & Memphis Railroad. Maj. J. W. Scott, Maj. J. C. Frankenberger, Lieut. A. Overly, Lieut. T. Scott Capt. L. Pickering and Surgeon John Cannan are all dead. Thus one by one they are being mustered out, of life's service. This regiment has written in characters of blood upon its battle-flag, Corinth, Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, Kenesaw, Atlanta, Jonesboro, Lovejoy and skirmishes numbered by the score. True, it was no braver nor better than other regiments. Its roll of honored dead was no larger than many others, but it never failed to respond to any call that was made upon it. The unnumbered and unlettered graves of the First Ohio are scattered over every battle-field of the Army of the Cumberland.

TWELFTH OHIO CAVALRY.

The order for raising this important regiment was issued on the 20th of August, 1863. So zealous were the officers instructed with this; care, and so filled with patriotic impulses were the true men that responded to the call That on the 24th day of November, 1863, the regiment, was organized complete and ready for what ever duty awaited it. The men furnished from Union County were assigned to Company C.

While the organization was yet incomplete, six companies were called to Johnson's Island to guard prisoners and meet, if need be, the threatened invasion of rebels from Canada, in tent on releasing the 3,000 imprisoned rebel officers there. The companies thus employed were A, C, D, F, I and L. The other companies were quartered at Camp Chase until February 24, when the whole regiment was brought together at camp Dennison. Here it was mounted, armed and vigorously drilled until the 27th day of March, when it started to the front and entered upon its memorable career.

Its first duty was to assist Gen. Burbridge in breaking up the armed bands of guerrillas, and bushwhackers in Kentucky. Scattering , itself over that State, it soon became a terror to marauders and rebel sympathizers, dispersed the guerrillas and restored order.

This task accomplished with commendable promptness, the Twelfth joined in an expedition against Saltville, Va. But after a toilsome journey of several days, it was halted and turned about to make one of the most rapid marches known to warfare, traveling over 180 miles in fifty hours. It struck the rebel forces at Mt. Sterling, Ky., on the 9th of June, 1864, and gallantly led the charge. In this battle the regiment fought many times its' number, but never for a moment wavered. At one time sixty men of the Third Battalion,


MILITARY RECORD. - 529

mostly from Company C, fought a rebel regiment for thirty minutes, losing many precious lives, but holding its ground till help came. Of this devoted little band, Union County furnished Joseph Smith, Hylas S. Moore and J. L. Cameron, others now living here Edward Routs, Fredrick Keller, Uriah Jolley and John Van Pearse, of Company M.

For its gallantry the Twelfth was complimented at the close of the fight by Gen. Burbridge, who remarked that it had saved

the day for him. These laurels were dearly bought for the loss of the regiment all told was 197 men. Of these were Maj. Moderwell, shot through the abdomen, (afterward recovered) ; Capt. Hunter, through shoulder; Orderly Sergt. Alfred Wetterige and Corp. Conner, killed, and many others of Company C wounded, among whom were J. O. Sweet, Peter Black, William Blue, Jefery Williams and Bently Williams.

The battle lasted all day, and at night the regiment remained on the battle-field. Company C, chosen for special guard duty, got no rest. Three days and nights' marching and fighting was now to be followed by a gallop of thirty-three miles to Lexington on the 10th; fresh horses drawn and on to Paris, Ky., on the 11th. Awaiting here for supplies and ammunition until evening, the regiment again mounted and forward for a nights' march to Cynthiana. Early on the morning of the 12th of June, while darkness. was yet so dense that the lurid jets of powder flame blazed from the carbines, the regiment was leading the charge again in battle, sustaining itself heroically, and gaining a complete victory in this engagement. On the 14th of June the regiment received the thanks and congratulations of President Lincoln and the Secretary of War, and was again complimented for its gallantry by the commanding General.

Again braking into detachments, the Twelfth scattered over Kentucky, dispersing marauders and keeping order, until the month of September, when it concentrated at Mount Sterling and again started with Gen. Burbridge's expedition to Saltville, Va.

The expedition led over 300 miles without provision trains, tents or ambulances, was cause of much privation, and on the 2d of October was again at its accustomed place leading the advance into one of the most hotly contested battles of the war.

The rebel fortifications were in the deep mountain gorges and rendered operations by mounted men impossible, yet, dismounted, the Twelfth made again and again its famous carbine charges and reaching well up to the enemies' works. All day long the battle raged in the Mountain fastness, but toward the close of the day ammunition was exhausted and the rebel forces re-enforced by 5,000 of Gen. Early's fresh troops, and Gen. Burbridge was compelled to abandon the expedition. Company C had all day been doing duty on the body guard of Gen. McLane and its couriers dashed here and there through the battle carrying orders. A rapid retreat began, and as it still had ammunition Company C was detailed a special guard for the rear, and many times during that disastrous night and the following day did this devoted little band halt in the mountain passes and hold the pursuing foe in check while the retreating column hurried on.

Forty-nine men of the Twelfth lay dead or wounded on the field of battle of this eventful day.

Returning to Lexington the regiment re-organized, drew fresh horses and supplies, and on the 10th of November was again in the saddle marching toward Cumberland Gap.

Reaching that point on the 26th, scattering again, it was engaged a short time destroying bands of marauders around Bean Station and Rodgersville. Gen Stoneman now took command, and being joined with Gen. Gillem the whole force, including the Twelfth, was in the earlier part of December marching in a third expedition against Saltville. On the morning of December 16, Kingsford was reached and a strong rebel force appeared on the opposite banks of the river. Halting his column, Gen. Stoneman and Gillem to cross above and prepare for battle. The impatience of the Twelfth knew no bounds when in sight of the gray uniforms and eagerly they awaited the bugle sound to charge. That coming, with a wild yell they galloped up to the horses' joints in water to the opposite bank; opening a fire from carbines, and revolvers at short ranges the enemy was for a moment confused and Gen. Gillem. then coming up aided to complete the rout.

Pursuit was given, and many of the enemy lay dead along the road, as the Twelfth poured into their fleeing ranks volley after volley from their carbines. Hurrying forward, Bristol was reached just before day. The Yankees dashed in, and in less than half an hour Bristol, with all its immense stores, was ours. Halting to complete the destruction of the rebel supplies and tearing up the railroad, the column again pushed forward to Abington, Company F, of the Twelfth, a, special escort of Gen. Burbridge, led the charge, and the regiment following, that place was taken, with a large number of prisoners and immense military supplies.

Sergt. Sherburn of Company F, and Lieut. Holt were both wounded, the former fatally. Several others of the regiment were wounded. Pushing on, the column struck the army of the rebel Gen. Vaughn, which soon broke in confusion, and the boys of the regiment joined in a headlong chase of five miles, with drawn sabers. Many pieces of artillery were here taken.

Without halting, the troops pushed on. and on the 12th the regiment had the grim satisfaction of leading the charge into Saltville, capturing the place where so many prisoners were lost a few months previous. Every vestige of the place was destroyed. Returning, Wytheville was cap-


530 - UNION COUNTY

tured, and many skirmishes were had in the surrounding country. At the close of the day on the 17th, a desperate battle was fought with the troops of Breckinridge and Vaughn, near Marion. Here the brave Orderly Sergeant, John Van Pearse, of Company M, was seriously wounded while aiding to form the line.

Maj. Moderwell, the favorite of the regiment, was again among the wounded. Returning from this raid, the regiment collected at Lexington to draw fresh horses and close up the broken ranks. Scattering again, it was a short time doing general patrol duty and looking after rebel sympathizers and bushrangers in Kentucky; coming together again the last of February, at Louisville, Ky., the whole joined Stoneman's command and embarked for Nashville by river. On through to Murfreesboro, and thence to Knoxville, where a veteran brigade was formed by uniting the Twelfth Ohio, Fifteenth Pennsylvania and Tenth Michigan Cavalries. On the 20th of March, this brigade was in motion marching out to Strawberry Plains, thence on through Bull's Gap, Jonesboro to Yadkin River. The stream was badly swollen, and several comrades drowned. Uriah Jolly was rescued here by Comrade Cameron.

Pausing a short time to close up the ranks, the forces swept on galloping through Jacksonville, on to the line of the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad at Christiansbury. This road was torn up and destroyed for many miles. Sweeping down into North Carolina, the Danville & Richmond Railroad was struck and destroyed for a great distance.

Hastening on, the troops brought up before Salisbury, a rebel force under Pemberton with several pieces of artillery came out to defend the town. Scarcely halting, the Twelfth led on the charge, and in spite of all opposition Salisbury was soon in flames, many Union prisoners were released, and immense quantities of military stores consigned to the flames. On the 17th of April, the regiment marched on to Lincolnton, which place was captured by a charge led by Company C, of the Twelfth, under Lieut. Stewart; 200 picked men, under Maj. Moderwell were now chosen to march eighty miles to the Catawba River crossing and destroy the bridge of the Charlotte & South Carolina Railroad. On the morning of the 30th, they came across the forces of Vaughn and Duke. Sweeping down upon them, out their way through, captured thirty-five prisoners, a large quantity of small arms and two pieces as of cannon and some seven officers and 223 man; paroling the prisoners on the spot, the command returned to the regiment at Dallas, Company C having some wounded, but not fatally. On the 23d, the regiment started for Knoxville ; but learning that President Lincoln had been assassinated, they joined in a headlong chase after Davis. Finally returning to Sweet Water, Tenn., thence on to McMinville, thence to Nashville, on the 24th of November,the regiment was discharged. Of 1,462 men, only 628 remained.

Thus melted away and passed into history the brave and patriotic Twelfth Ohio Cavalry.

the body-guard of President Lincoln. The Governor had previously visited Washington, and while there noticed the unguarded situation of the capitol, the President's house and the person of President Lincoln, and knowing the desperate character of the Cabinet at Richmond, he came home somewhat apprehensive for the safety of the public offices, and more especially for the life of the President. He at once commenced raising the Union Light Guard, by recruiting one man in each county of the State. By December 22, 1863, the company was completed, and on the morning of that day it started for Washington City.

"Reaching the capital, its commanding officer reported to the Secretary of War, and was assigned to duty in and around the city, a strong detail being placed near the President's house, the Treasury building, War office, and other public buildings.

"In this description of duty the Union Light Guard served through 1863-64-65, and part of 1866, when it was Sent home to Ohio, paid, and mustered out of the service. Its original strength was 103 men."
