HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO - 125


FIFTY-THIRD OHIO INFANTRY.


The organization of this regiment was completed in January, 1862. In February it joined the Third brigade of General W. T. Sherman's division. Its services included the battles of Pittsburgh Landing, Mission Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Nicojack Creek, Atlanta, Ezra Chapel, Jonesborough, and Ft. McAllister; the pursuit of Hood in the rear of Sherman, and the marches to Savannah and the north. Upon appearing before Columbia, South Carolina, it silenced a battery by its skilful and rapid fire, and assisted in the destruction wrought in that city, as also at Fayetteville, four days afterwards. Reaching Washington and passing in the grand review, it was taken to Arkansas, where it stayed until August 11, 1865, when it was mustered out. It had been engaged in sixty-seven battles and skirmishes, and lost sixty killed, two hundred and sixty-four wounded, and fourteen missing.

FIFTY-FOURTH OHIO INFANTRY.


Nine counties, of which Hamilton county was one, furnished the companies for this command. Recruiting for it was begun in the late summer of 1861, and it was organized and drilled during the next fall and winter, at Camp Dennison. February 17, 1862, it took the field with eight hundred and fifty men, and was assigned at Paducah to the brigade commanded by General W. T. Sherman. In March it was taken up the Tennessee, and was in both days' fighting at Pittsburgh Landing, losing one hundred and ninety-eight, all told. April 29th it moved upon Corinth, and was in the attack upon the works May 31st, being among the first troops to enter the town. Its commander was put in charge of the post, it was appointed to provost duty there, and its regimental colors were hoisted on the public buildings. It was engaged during the summer in several brief expeditions, was in the attack at Chickasaw Bayou on the 28th and 29th, losing twenty men, and at the capture of Arkansas Post shortly after. It participated in the siege of Vicks-burgh, the battles of Champion Hills, and Big Black Bridge, the movements about Jackson, the subsequent operations of the Fifteenth army corps, to which it was attached, including the battle of Mission Ridge, the relief of Knoxville, and the Atlanta campaign. January 22d it was mustered as a veteran organization, and at once started home on furlough, returning with two hundred recruits. In the Atlanta movement it was engaged at Resaca, Dallas, New Hope Church, Kenesaw Mountain, Nickojack Creek, Decatur, Ezra Chapel, and Jonesborough. It participated in the pursuit of Hood, the marches to the sea, and northward to Richmond and Washington, and the grand reviews. It was also in the charge on Fort McAllister, the heavy skirmishing near Columbia, and the last battle of Sherman's army at Bentonville, North Carolina. June 2d it was transported to Louisville, and thence to Little Rock, where it did garrison duty until the middle of August, when it was mustered out. During its arduous service it marched three thousand six hundred and eighty-two miles, took part in four sieges, nine severe skirmishes, and fifteen pitched battles; and lost in all—killed, wounded, and missing—five hundred and six men. It had but twenty-four officers and two hundred and thirty-one men left on the day of muster-out.

FIFTY-SIXTH OHIO INFANTRY.


This was organized at Portsmouth in the fall of 1861, and suffered much from measles there during the early winter. It first saw the enemy in February, at Fort Donelson, and was on the field, but not engaged, at Pittsburgh Landing. Its subsequent campaigns were about Memphis, in Arkansas, at Vicksburgh with Grant, and in the Teche and Red River campaigns under Banks. At the battle of Sabine Cross Roads it lost forty killed, wounded, and missing. The veteran regiment was kept on duty in New Orleans until March, 1866, when it was mustered out.

FIFTY-SEVENTH OHIO INFANTRY.


One company, and part of another, were from Hamilton county. The regiment rendezvoused at Camp Vance, Findlay, but moved January 22, 1862, to Camp Chase. It was raised between September 16th and February 10th, when it was mustered in, and started for the field February 18th. It reported at Paducah, and was assigned to the Third brigade, Fifth division, army of the Tennessee. It was very heavily engaged at Pittsburgh Landing, losing in three days one hundred and eighty-seven killed, wounded, and captured. In November it joined the First brigade, First division, Fifteenth army corps. It shared the glories of its corps at Chickasaw Bayou, Snyder's Bluff, Raymond, Champion Hills, Black River, Vicksburgh, Jackson, Mission Ridge, and the relief of Knoxville; and then endured a terribly severe march, "hatless and shoeless, and half naked," to Bellefonte, Alabama. Notwithstanding all this, the regiment re-enlisted as veterans on the following New Year's, being the first in the Fifteenth corps to do so. It took the allowed thirty days furlough, and returned in ample time, with twenty recruits, to join in the Atlanta campaign. It was hotly engaged at Resaca, holding its ground against three successive charges of an overwhelming force, and losing fifty-seven killed and wounded. It was also in the actions at Dallas, New Hope Church, Kenesaw (where it also lost just fifty-seven men), that on the left of Atlanta, sometimes called the battle of Decatur, where it lost ninety-two in a desperate struggle to hold its position, which was three times captured by the enemy, but finally held by the Fifty-seventh; at Ezra Church, on the extreme right of the line before Atlanta, where it lost sixty-seven, the enemy leaving four hundred and fifty-eight dead in front of its line, and at Jonesborough. It took part in the chase after Hood, in which it struck the rebels at Snake Creek gap, and Taylor's ridge; in the march to Savannah; the assault on Fort McAllister; in the march to Columbia, where it assisted in the destruction of the railroad buildings; in the marching and' skirmishing through North Carolina to Raleigh; thence the walk-over to Wathington city, and the reviews there, after which it was ordered to Little Rock, Arkansas, but was mustered out soon after arriving there, August 6, 1865, and was paid and discharged at Camp Chase, August 25th. It had been moved by rail, steam, and on foot over twenty-eight thousand miles; and of one thousand five hundred and ninety-four men borne on its muster rolls, but four hundred and eighty-one are believed to have been alive at its muster-out

SIXTIETH OHIO INFANTRY.


The one year regiment of this number was specially intended to defend the border counties of Ohio, and for three months, in the late winter of 1861-62, and the spring of 1862, it guarded military stores at Gallipolis. In April it joined General Fremont's army in western Virginia, and had its first engagement at Strasburgh. It was soon after engaged at Port Republic, and then at Cross Keys, and shared in the disaster at Harper's Ferry in September. It was discharged October so, 1862.


The three-years' regiment was organized in the early spring of 1864. It was ordered to the field when six companies were ready, joined General Burnside's corps at Alexandria in April, and was afterwards filled up, but never to the maximum. It was in the actions of the Wilderness, at Mary's Bridge, Spottsylvania, and the subsequent battles of Grant's final campaign. It was mustered out July 25, 1865, having, in less than one year's active service, lost five hundred and five men, but seventeen of whom were missing.

SIXTY-FIRST OHIO INFANTRY.


This regiment contained recruits from nearly every county of Ohio. It left Camp Chase for western Virginia May 17, 1862, joining General Fremont's army June 23d, at Strasburgh. It reached Cedar Mountain just too late for the battle there, but had its first fight shortly after, at Freeman's Ford, with a part of Long-street's corps, with which it had another battle in August, at Sulphur Springs. The next day it had a brisk skirmish at Waterloo Bridge, and took part in the second Bull Run battle, losing twenty-five killed and wounded. September 2d, it was engaged at Chantilly, and there, for some weeks, formed a part of the reserve protecting Washington. The next May it was heavily engaged at Chancellorsville, and opened the battle at Gettysburgh, July 1st, suffering severely in the action. In September it was removed with its corps to Chattanooga; was engaged at Wanhatchie and Mission Ridge; marched to the relief of Knoxville; wintered at Bridgeport, Tennessee; re-enlisted in March and took its veteran furlough, reaching the front again in time to participate fully in the dangers and glories of .the Atlanta campaign. In the battle of Resaca it saved the Fifth Indiana battery, from which the support had retired. It was further engaged at Dallas, Culp's Farm, and Peach Tree Creek, in the latter of which were wounded five officers and over seventy men, and eighteen or twenty were killed. After the capture of Atlanta it remained encamped there until November 15th, when it started on the grand movement to the seaboard. During this march it exchanged shots with the enemy but once—at Sandersonville, Georgia. In Savannah, the Sixty-first served temporarily in a provisional brigade, for special duty in the city. About the middle of January, 1.865, it moved up the Savannah river to Sister's Ferry, and soon rejoined its own command. In the march through the Carolinas, it was only engaged at Bentonville, the last battle of the campaign, and lost several men in the action. Reaching Goldsborough, it was consolidated with the Eighty-second Ohio infantry, the latter giving its name to the new organization. The consolidated regiment joined in the march northward to Washington, and in the famous review, soon after which it was sent home and mustered out. Mr. Ried says of the Sixty-first: "It was always a reliable regiment, and was ever found where duty called it. Its losses by the

casualties of the field were so numerous that, at the close of its service, a little band of only about sixty officers and men remained to answer to its last roll-call."

SEVENTIETH OHIO INFANTRY.


When President Lincoln made his second call for great numbers of soldiers, Ohio, as ever, was equal to the occasion. By the twenty-fifth of December, 1861, the Seventieth was nearly full. In February it became a part of the division of General W. T. Sherman, then organizing at Paducah, Kentucky. Early in April it did excellent work in the battle of Pittsburgh Landing, receiving especial praise from General Sherman for courage and persistence. In common with the rest of the army, this regiment took part in the advance on Corinth. After its fall, Sherman's division moved westward, ,and arriving in July at Memphis, remained there till the following autumn. The army left that city in November, 186z, and, concentrating upon the banks of the Tallahatchie river, prepared to invest Vicksburgh. After the fall of Vicksburgh, movement was made upon Jackson, the capital or the State, and, during the siege, the Seventieth are said to have behaved in a most gallant manner. A few days after the battle of Chickamauga, the Fifteenth army corps, to which it now belonged, moved up the river to Memphis, and thence through northern Mississippi, Alabama, and southern Tennessee, and was in the battle of Chattanooga on the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth of November. After going to Knoxville to reinforce General Burnside and returning, the Seventieth went into winter quarters at Scottsborough, Alabama. In January, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted as a veteran organization. The following May, the entire army of General Sherman began the grand advance upon Atlanta. During this memorable march, this command participated in all the battles on the way and around Atlanta, and maintained in all its high reputation. During the autumn and winter months occurred the march through Georgia to the sea. December 13, 1864, Fort McAllister was taken


HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO - 129


by storm, in which the Seventieth suffered severely. It was the first regiment to enter the work, through the abattis and ditch, without a halt. In the subsequent march through the Carolinas, it met with loss at Bentonville. Passing through Richmond on to Washington, it had a part in the grand review, after which it was sent to Louisville, Kentucky, thence to Little Rock, Arkansas, where it was mustered out August 14, 1865. It is to be noted as a remarkable fact that every officer, who from first to last had a command in the regiment, was a member of it in its original organization before it left its own State.

This completed its organization about the first of February, 1862. It received marching orders the tenth of the same month, and reported at once to General Sherman at Paducah, with his command. It was among the first troops at Pittsburgh Landing. In this battle it lost one hundred and thirty men, killed and wounded. On the sixteenth of April the regiment was ordered to the Cumberland river, to hold the posts of Fort Donelson and Clarksville. On the eighteenth of August Clarksville was attacked by the combined forces of Colonels Woodward and A. R. Johnson. Colonel Mason, having less than two hundred effective men, a surrender was demanded, and, after obtaining the advice of his counsel, he acceded to the proposition. A few days after the colonel and all the line officers were dismissed in disgrace, but, the facts becoming better known, they received an honorable discharge. After the regiment was exchanged it did valuable service the remainder of the year. In 1864 it took an effective part in the battle of Nashville, losing fully one-third of its men in killed and wounded. Through the summer of 1865 it was in Texas. It was finally mustered out in January, 1865.

SEVENTY-SECOND OHIO INFANTRY.


This regiment was organized at Fremont late in the year 1861. In February, 1862, it was ordered to report to General Sherman at Paducah, and was assigned to Colonel Buckland's brigade. On the third of April it exchanged its first shots with the rebel pickets at Pittsburgh Landing. The regiment was to the front all through the battle that followed and participated in the final charge and pursuit as far as Monterey. Its loss in killed, wounded, and missing, was one hundred and thirty-three. In the siege of Corinth the Seventy-second bore a conspicuous part. Its losses were triffling in action, but terrible by disease. On the twenty-first of July Memphis was entered. After being at Fort Pickering and Moscow, marching by way of Bolivar and Purdy to Corinth, at White's Station, and again in Memphis, the regiment commenced the march for the rear of Vicksburgh the second of May, 1863. On the way it was in the battle of Jackson, on the fourteenth of that month. On the twenty-second of June it aided in intercepting General Johnston, who was attempting the relief of Vicksburgh. In September the Seventy-second was in a four days' scout to Mechanicsville, in which it experienced some severe marching and lively skirmishing. On the second of January, 1864, the regiment re enlisted, and in February was in General Sherman's Meridian expedition. After the veteran furlough it was ordered to Paducah, to assist in the defence of that place against Forrest. June 1st the regiment formed part of an expedition, consisting of twelve regiments of infantry and a division of cavalry, against Forrest. The tenth of June, at Brice's Cross Roads, an encounter with the rebels resulted most disastrously, eleven officers and two hundred and thirty-seven men being killed, wounded, or captured. Then followed an expedition in the direction of Tupelo, Mississippi, during which the regiment suffered not a little. Between the twenty-seventh of July and the sixteenth of November, by long marches, half rations, great heat and extreme cold, the men suffered intensely. On the thirtieth of November it joined forces under General Thomas, at Nashville. In February, 1865, it moved to New Orleans and camped on the old battle-ground. Afterward it was in the attacks at Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely; then Montgomery, Alabama, was reached; and in June it was placed along the railroad line west of Meridian. The last man was mustered out at Vicksburgh on the eleventh of September, 1865. The regiment at once embarked for Ohio, and at Camp Chase was paid and discharged.

SEVENTY-FOURTH OHIO INFANTRY.


This regiment with an aggregate of nine hundred and seventy-eight men, was ordered to the field the twentieth of April, 1862. Its first real service was on the march over the Cumberland mountains in June. During the blockade of Nashville, it was in several skirmishes in the vicinity of that city. The Seventy-fourth was with General Rosecrans when he made his movement on Bragg's army at Murfreesborough. It went into the battle of Stone River December 29th, and remained until nightfall of January 3d, losing in all one hundred and fifty-five men. At Murfreesborough there was a general reorganization of the army, and consequently some changes occurred in this command. After this date, February, 1863, the Seventy-fourth was in the battles of Hoover's Gap, Dog Gap, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, and Mission Ridge. The last of January, 1864, a majority of the men re-enlisted and started for Ohio on the thirty days' furlough. On the seventh of the following May, it started with the army on the Atlanta campaign. With Sherman it passed through Georgia and reached Savannah, and on the twentieth of January was off again for the Carolina campaign. After the destruction of rebel supplies at Fayetteville, the rebel capital was the point to be reached, and then Washington. Bentonville, the last battle of the command, was fought March 22, 1865. On the eighteenth of July, at Camp Dennison, the men were paid and discharged.

SEVENTY-FIFTH OHIO INFANTRY


The Seventy-fifth was organized near Cincinnati December 18, 1861. On the first day of March it joined General Milroy's brigade at Huttonsville, West Virginia, having made a long march over most wretched roads in most unpleasant weather. While halting at Monterey, Court House, the enemy made a spirited attack, which was gallantly met by this regiment leading the advance. May 8, 1862, in an engagement with Stonewall Jackson, additional laurels were gained under the immediate eye of General Milroy--"The Old War Eagle"—but nearly a hundred were killed add wounded. The next affair in which the Seventy-fifth faced the enemy was at Cedar Mountain in August, 1862. The loss here, however, was slight. For a week following engagements were frequent, and this regiment at Freeman's Ford again lost heavily. The last of August, in the second battle of Bull Run, so bloody was the fighting that in killed and wounded the Seventy-fifth alone lost one hundred and fifteen. During this fight not less than ninety shots took effect on the colors of this regiment. From this time to the second of May, 1863, nothing of importance occurred. The history of the battle of Chancellorsville need not here be told. Although receiving the enemy gallantly, the odds were too great, and, with the brigade, the Seventy-fifth fell back, losing in half an hour one hundred and fifty men. After this battle it returned to its old camp near Brook's Station, where it remained until the battle of Gettysburgh. The regiment was under fire every day of the battle, losing in all two hundred and seventeen officers and men. In August the Ohio brigade was sent to Charleston, South Carolina, and remained on Morris Island till after the fall of Forts Wagner and Gregg. In February, 1864, the regiment was mounted, and from that time was designated as the Seventy-fifth mounted infantry, performing all the duties of a regular cavalry regiment. From this date to the twenty-sixth of September, 1864, the regiment was in the district of Florida, breaking up blockade-running, destroying rebel stores, conducting detachments of cattle, and performing other duties. It was then sent on a secret expedition to the headwaters of the St. John's river. In October and November six companies were mustered out of service, their term of enlistment having expired. After the fall of Savannah the Seventy-fifth was reorganized into a veteran detachment, and was afterward known as the veteran battalion. This command performed valuable and difficult service till August, 1865, when its members received an honorable discharge.

SEVENTY-NINTH OHIO INFANTRY.


Only one company was raised in Hamilton county. The entire command was rapidly recruited in the summer of 1862, though one company of sharpshooters, raised for it in Clermont county, did not join it till the next June. It received marching orders September 3d, and moved into Kentucky through Cincinnati, then menaced by the rebels. After a severe march against them, it went to Louisville and operated against Morgan and other rebel cavalry forces. December r to February 24, 1864, it was mainly on guard duty in Tennessee. In Much it reached Lookout valley and was assigned to the Eleventh corps, afterwards part of the. Twentieth, in which the Seventy-ninth was in the First brigade, Third division. With its brigade it shared in the furious and bloody attack on the enemy's works near Resaca and a number of the severest actions of the Atlanta campaign. At Peach Tree Creek, July loth, it was on the first line and was the second Union regiment that became engaged. It here lost one-half its members in action. It began the campaign with six hundred men, and had but one hundred and eighty-two at the close. It was in the march through eastern Georgia, the siege of Savannah, the affairs at Laytonville and Columbia, and of Averysborough and Bentonville, in the grand advance of Sherman north ward. It was mustered out at Washington June 9, 1865, paid and discharged at Camp Dennison June 17th. It had lost, from all causes, more than its original number, or about one thousand men, all told.

Several companies of this regiment were from Hamilton county; the remainder from Butler. Before the regiment was fully organized, the exigencies of the situation in Kentucky, during the invasion of Kirby Smith, became so great that the Hamilton county companies, then at Camp Dennison, were ordered into the field. On the night of the third of September, 1862, the day of leaving camp, they bivouacked in the streets of Covington. After various movements they marched across the Licking river to support the Beechwood battery, on the Alexandria turnpike, did heavy picket duty for several days, and were then withdrawn to Camp Orchard. Here the rest of the regiment joined them, and gave the 'Eighty-third in all one thousand and ten men. The regimental organization, however, dated from the twenty-second of August, when all the companies were full. September


HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO - 133


18th the command marched to Cynthiana with an expedition under General Q. A. Gilmore, but found no enemy in force. October 15th it reached Paris, Kentucky, and joined the First brigade, Tenth division, army of the Tennessee. A fortnight thereafter it was on its way to Louisville, stopping two weeks at Nicholasville, where it was presented with an elegant banner, by the Cincinnati,' Hamilton & Dayton railroad company. The division (General A. J. Smith's) sailed for Memphis November 23d and thence further down the Mississippi December Toth. The Eighty-third engaged in some laborious and successful operations about Milliken's Bend, and had its first battles at Chickasaw Bayou and Arkansas Post. In the latter action it lost one-fifth of its number, but was the first to plant its flag upon the enemy's works, was honorably mentioned in the official reports, and specially thanked by unanimous vote of the Ohio legislature. In camp afterwards at Young's Point, the regiment lost heavily by disease. May loth, after heavy skirmishing and some severe fighting, it reached the front at Vicksburgh, was in the assault on the twenty-second, where it lost eight per cent. of its men engaged, and took part in the subsequent operations of the siege. After the surrender it moved with its division against Johnston, assisted in the affairs about Jackson and in the pursuit of the rebels to Brandon, returning thence to Vicksburgh, after an unusually arduous campaign. August 24th it -changed camp to Carrollton, Louisiana, and remained there, save for an expedition to Donaldsonville, till the third of October, when it formed a part of the force starting on the Teche campaign. November 3d, when in charge of a forage train, it had a sharp encounter, and lost fifty-six men, mostly captured. A few weeks afterwards it moved to Fort Jackson to quell a mutiny among colored troops; was then ordered to New Orleans, and thence to Madisonville, where it went into the Second brigade, Third division, Thirteenth army corps. The fore part of March, 1864, at Franklin, it was transferred to the First brigade of the Fourth division, same corps, and marched with it on the ill-fated Red River expedition. It was hotly engaged in the battle of Pleasant Hills, and gallantly maintained its reputation. At the beginning of its share in the action, after marching ten miles in two hours, it occupied the extreme right of the Federal line, and came near being enveloped and destroyed by the rebel left, which extended far beyond it, but was extricated under a terrible cross fire, in perfect order. May 2d it was engaged in a sharp skirmish while on a foraging expedition, and at Alexandria furnished large details for work upon the dam which finally saved the army. On the twenty-eighth the regiment reached Baton Rouge, and remained there in camp till July 21st, when it left for Algiers, opposite New Orleans, moving thence to Morganza to repel an attack, and going into camp there for the remainder of the summer. October 1st it formed part of an expedition to sieze and hold Morgan's Ferry, on the Atchafalaya, and on the eighteenth, of another to the Atchafalaya at Simms-port. November 1st it embarked for the mouth of White river, and in December was ordered to Nachez for consolidation with the Forty-eighth Ohio. The new regiment comprised six companies of the former and four from the latter, retaining the name Eighty-third. All the field officers were from the former command. It was assigned to the Third brigade, Second division, Thirteenth corps, and, March 20th, started in the Mobile campaign. It made the assault on Fort Blakely April 9th, and captured two posts, eight cannon, two mortars, eight hundred prisoners, two flags, etc., etc., losing thirty-six killed and wounded. It did provost duty in Selma till May 12th; was in Mobile a month, and in Galveston on guard duty till July 26th, when it started for home, arriving at Cincinnati the fifth of August, and getting final payment and discharge at Camp Dennison on the tenth.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH OHIO INFANTRY.


This was one of the last German regiments raised in Ohio. Although other enterprises of the same kind were in the field before his, Lieutenant Tafel succeeded in recruiting and organizing, within a few weeks, eight companies, with an aggregate of seven hundred and thirty men. On the fourth day of September, 1862, orders came for the regiment to move to Covington, to be ready to repel the forces of Kirby Smith, then threatening Cincinnati. Here a little skirmish with the enemy gave the men an introduction to their future work. The Austrian rifles with which they were armed proving nearly useless, the regiment was shifted from place to to place, and left incomplete as to number. It remained in the field as a battalion. At this time Morgan, the raider, was disturbing Kentucky, and the regiment participated in several expeditions against him. At Bowling Green, on the fourth of November, it came under the command of General Rosecrans. The Thirty-ninth brigade, in which the One Hundred and Sixth now belonged, moved to Glasgow, Kentucky, where some successful skirmishing followed, as also on the succeeding march to Hartsville. At this point Colonel Scott, who had been commanding the brigade, was exchanged for a much inferior officer. Under this commander the disgraceful affair at Hartsville took place, December 7, 1862. One company only, absent as escort to the provision train at Gallatin, escaped captivity. After five days detention, the prisoners were paroled and sent to General Rosecrans at Nashville. This general, after receiving a full report from Lieutenant Colonel Tafel of the affair, expressed his entire satisfaction with the conduct of the regiment and its commander on that occasion. On the twelfth day of January, 1863, the regiment was declared exchanged, and was ordered to Camp Dennison, to re-organize. It soon moved on to Frankfort, Kentucky, to relieve the One Hundred and Third Ohio. Owen county was at that time infested with guerilla bands, and Lieutenant Colonel Tafel determined to stop their depredations. Several desperate characters were soon after captured, their bands dispersed, and the regiment, for the bravery and excellent conduct of officers and men, won praise from the citizens of the city and the authorities of the State. Receiving orders for Nashville, the regiment arrived at that city May 4, 1863, and was soon after put to guard the railroad from that city to the borders of Kentucky. So galling did the rigorous rule of this regiment become to the guerillas, that their leader, Captain Harper, offered a reward for the head of its commander. On the fourth of May, 1864, the regiment moved to Bridgeport, and formed part of the garrison. It was October, 1864, before the regiment was recruited to its maximum strength. During the impetuous raid of General Hood, the One Hundred and Sixth held on to its posts along the Nashville & Chattanooga railroad, although for four weeks completely cut off from all communication with the main army at Nashville. It remained in camp in Alabama, performing valuable service until June, 1865, when it was ordered to Nashville for muster-out, which event was consummated June 29.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTH OHIO INFANTRY.


This command was composed mainly of the German element, and was recruited in Hamilton, Butler, and Franklin counties. When but partly organized in August, 1862, four companies were hurried from Camp Dennison to Covington, by the alarm of invasion, and there welcomed four companies more. After Kirby Smith retreated, the regiment went to Louisville, and thence to Frankfort, to put down Morgan's guerillas. It was there placed in General Dumont's division and marched to Bowling Green, where it was assigned to the Thirty-ninth brigade, Twelfth division. Resuming its march the regiment, near Hartsville, Tennessee, was skilfully saved from an overwhelming force of Morgan's and other rebels, which had surrounded it ; but a few days after, through the carelessness and cowardice of an Illinois officer, the brigade commander, it was surrendered to Morgan, with all the forces and stores at Hartsville. The One Hundred and Eighth, however, gave the enemy a courageous resistance for more than an hour, losing forty-six killed and one hundred and sixty-two wounded. Every officer of the regiment, except three, was captured. The conduct of the command was especially commended in a letter from General Rosecrans. After exchange it was duly re-organized at Camp Dennison, receiving another company. It was assigned to duty in Frankfort, Kentucky, and won golden opinions for its discipline and good conduct, the order for its removal being thrice revoked at the request of General Robinson and other leading citizens. It was finally ordered to Louisville, and thence to Nashville, where it served for four months guarding railroads. September 6th it moved by rail to

Stevenson, and in November reached the vicinity of Chattanooga, where it took post on Moccasin Point, at the foot of Lookout Mountain, supporting the Eighteenth Ohio battery. It was here made part of the Second brigade, Second division, Fourteenth corps, with which it served until the close of the war. November 22d it crossed the Tennessee and had a spirited skirmish with the rebels near Graysville. It was then hurried to the relief of Knoxville, but was turned back from Morgantown, on the Little Tennessee, to Chattanooga, which it reached after a very toilsome march, during which many of its men had trod the frozen ground barefooted. It went into winter quarters near Rossville, and in February, 1864, moved to Lyne's Station, on the Knoxville railroad, whence it took part in the recognizance from Ringgold to Tunnel Hill, and on towards Dalton. Upon its return to Rossville it was joined by two new companies. May 3d it marched for Ringgold, on the Atlanta campaign, and for four moths was engaged in almost continuous marching and fighting. It happened to be engaged especially in bayonent charges, in which it was uniformly successful, driving the rebels several times from strong positions. At Resaca it was in a storm of bullets for four hours, and lost heavily. It was in the side movement on Rome, and captured a large lot of chewing and smoking tobacco, which a German regiment knows how to enjoy. During the latter part of the campaign it did noble service as train guards between Chattanooga and Atlanta in one case a sergeant and twenty men successfully defending, through a whole day, a train thrown from the track. In August a part of the regiment participated in the defence of Dalton against Wheeler's cavalry. It broke camp at that place in early November, and went to Atlanta to join in the march to the sea. During the last fight of Sherman's army at Bentonville, North Carolina, it was largely instrumental in saving the day by a most heroic resistance. Six times the rebels charged and were repulsed, and four times the men of the One Hundred and Eighth had to leap over their slight breastworks, to repel attacks from rear as well as front. When the last attack was repulsed the regiment had left but two cartridges per man. It was in the advance of the movement April 10, 1865, from Goldsborough toward Smithfield, on the Neuse river, and was sharply engaged with the rebel cavalry for nine hours, driving it fourteen miles during that time. This was the last action of the war; and it is claimed that this regiment fired the last shots against the Rebellion, and that Captain Fleischman, of company H, who lost his life during the fight, was the last Federal officer who was killed on the field in the long struggle. The regiment rested a short time at Holly Springs, North Carolina, then marched from Raleigh to Richmond, one hundred and ninety-two miles, in six and a half days, without leaving a straggler; and thence to Washington, where it took part in the grand reviews, and was mustered out June 9, 1865. Throughout its service it was held in the highest esteem by its brigade, division, and corps commanders, for its prompt action, its discipline, and fighting qualities.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOURTH OHIO INFANTRY.


Only one company ("I," from Cincinnati) was recruited in Hamilton county. The regiment was organized at Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, and started for the field New Year's day, 1863. Its first camp was made at Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and in February embarked at Louisville for Nashville, and marched thence to Franklin, where it encamped till June, building forts, drilling, and engaged in other duties. It was in the affair of the fourth of March, at Thompson's Station, in which a Federal brigade was taken, but escaped the field in time to avoid capture, with the artillery and the ammunition train it was guarding. It suffered severely from disease during the rest of the stay at Franklin. June 2d it joined the forward movement of Rosecrans' army, and at Manchester was brigaded in the Second brigade, Second division, Twenty-first army corps. While in camp there, under better conditions of living, the health of the men greatly improved. August 16th the march over the Cumberlands began, and September 9th the Tennessee was crossed in water reaching to the waists of the men. September 19th, at Chickamauga, the regiment was sharply engaged for the first time, and stood the ordeal bravely and well, losing one hundred men killed, wounded, or captured. The next day it was again engaged, losing forty men (including its colonel), and being compelled to fall back upon Chattanooga with the beaten forces, yet bearing itself handsomely throughout. The starvation period at and about Chattanooga followed, during which it was assigned to the Second brigade, Third division, Fourth corps, and engaged in building forts and other works. October 26th it was in the skilful and brave night attack by which Raccoon mountain was captured, and in the subsequent movements which enabled Hooker's troops to cross the river and raise the siege. November 23d it bore a distinguished part in the charge on Mission Ridge, capturing seven guns and eighty stand of arms, but losing fifty-six men, among whom was Captain Frost, of the Cincinnati company, mortally wounded at the moment the enemy's works were occupied. In November it marched to relieve Knoxville. The next winter was spent in East Tennessee, in the endurance of many


HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO - 143


hardships. With its corps it shared the glories of the Atlanta campaign, and was in the flanking movement to Jonesborough, the pursuit of Hood, the battle of Nashville, and the final chase of Hood out of Tennessee. From Huntsville it went to Strawberry Plains, East Tennessee, and from there to Nashville, where it was mustered out July 9, 1865, and shortly afterwards paid off and discharged at Camp Taylor.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVENTH OHIO NATIONAL GUARD.


This regiment was designated, under the Ohio militia law, as the "Seventh Ohio National Guard," and was organized for the hundred-days' service under the name above noted. The rank and file of the organization was composed wholly of citizens of Cincinnati, drawn from the mercantile and mechanic interests of the city, the latter largely predominating. It was considered the best drilled regiment in the State, and was to Cincinnati what the Seventh New York regiment is to the Empire City. On the publication of the governor's call for thirty thousand minute-men from Ohio, there was not the least hesitation among the members of this fine organization. Every name was promptly represented in the ranks, notwithstanding there were scores of comrades who could well afford to purchase substitutes; but it was made a matter of pride that each and every member should report in person, unless his business absolutely forbade it.


On the sixth of May, 1864, the regiment was mustered into the United States service at Camp Dennison, and was put en route for Washington city on the twelfth of the same month. Upon arrival at Baltimore, it • marched through the city, preceded by the far-famed Menter's band of musicians, and such was the evidence of its correct drill and thorough discipline, that Major General Lew Wallace, then in command of the district, was prompted to retain it in his department. Orders to that effect were at once issued, and the regiment was assigned to duty at Fort McHenry, in the harbor below Baltimore, with detachments at Forts Federal Hill, Marshall, and Carroll, and at the various headquarters in Baltimore. The greater part of the hundred days was spent in that duty. On the first of August the regiment moved up to Fort Marshall, and there remained until the fourteenth, when its time having expired, it was transported back to Camp Dennison, and mustered out of service on the twenty-first. Its losses were but five men, all told, three of whom died of disease; the other two were killed on their way home by striking a bridge under which the train was passing.


The commander of this regiment, Colonel Len A. Harris, had had the valuable experience, as colonel of the Second Ohio infantry of two year's service in the war.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHTH OHIO NATIONAL GUARD.


This regiment is said by Mr. Reid to have been composed of the Fifth Ohio national guard, of Licking county; the Thirty-second battalion of Hardin county; and one companyof the Thirty-seventh battalion, of Lorain county. It seems, however, from the rolls, to have had a large number of Hamilton county soldiers in it. It was mustered into the United States service May 14, 1864, and was ordered immediately to Washington city. At North mountain information was received that the bridge at Harpers' Ferry was impassable; and the regiment, with other hundred-day commands, was delayed for a time. awaiting the repair of the bridge. A picket was established, and every precaution taken for defence. In a few days the troops moved on, and the regiment arrived at Washington May 22d. It was placed in the defences south of the Potomac, with headquarters in Fort Albany, and detachments in Forts Craig and Tillinghast. The time was occupied in repairing and completing these works and drilling in infantry and heavy artillery tactics. June 5th the regiment was ordered to White House Landing, where it was employed in picket duty and guarding rebel prisoners. On the sixteenth of June it was ordered to Bermuda Hundred, and proceeded on steamer, via Fortress Monroe, up the James to Fort Powhattan, Here its progress was checked by the pontoon bridge, on which the army of the Potomac was crossing the James. The regiment debarked and marched to Bermuda Hundred, distant twenty-four miles. The march was made during two of the hottest days of summer, and the men suffered greatly from dust and the want of water. The command arrived at Fort Spring hill, on the eastern bank of the Appomattox, opposite Point of Rocks, on June 19th, and was engaged in picket and fatigue duty at the latter place and Broadway Landing. It next moved to Cherrystone inlet, on the eastern shore of Virginia. Headquarters were established at Eastville, the county town of Northampton county; and the companies were distributed at various points to guard the telegraph from Cherrystone to Wilmington, to prevent raids from the opposite side of the bay, and to intercept blockade-runners and rebel mail-carriers. At the expiration of its term of service, the regiment returned to Ohio, and was mustered out at Camp Dennison on the first of September, 186r.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINTH OHIO NATIONAL GUARD.


This was one of the Cincinnati hundred day regiments, and its ranks were filled with recruits who had seen more or less service in organizations raised in 18612. Its first rendezvous was at Camp Dennison, where it lay for some ten days. It was then taken by rail to Camp Chase, where, on May 11, 1864, it was fully armed and equipped and mustered into the Federal service. Remaining in camp here for a few days, in order that the 'regiment might be somewhat desciplined, it moved on May loth, via the Central Ohio and the Baltimore & Ohio railroads, to Washington city, where it went into barracks. June 1st, it was placed on duty at Point Lookout, Maryland, an important depot for the confinement of rebel prisoners. At the time the regiment took up its quarters at this place, there were twenty-two thousand prisoners confined therel The force to guard and look after this number of prisoners was only eighteen hundred men, all told. From this may be judged how arduous must have been the guard and other necessary duties performed by so inadequate a force. The details were necessarily so numerous and frequent as almost to preclude the idea of rest. This, added to the fact that there was little or no fresh water to be had on the dry and sandy beach, and that no inviting foraging ground presented itself, made the duties of the regiment unusual- ly severe. "Sibleys" were also denied to the men and officers; and all alike were compelled to sleep on the Sandy beach under those aggravating little substitutes, "shelter-tents." Incessant duty, want of water, and the hot sun, had their effect do the troops, and fourteen good men were in a short time laid in their graves, while scores of others were on the sick list. August 22d, some days after the expiration of its time of service, the regiment was taken to Baltimore, thence to Camp Chase, where, on the twenty-sixth of August, 1864, it was paid off and mustered out of the service.
