TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 115 CHAPTER XVI. THE REBELLION RECORD. Beginning of the War—Contribution of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties—Organization of Regiments and Outline of their Service in the Field. * This is not the place to tell the causes of the rebellion which cost the country a million of her * NOTE—The introductory regimental sketches are compiled mainly from Whitelaw Reid's History of Ohio in the War. It has been the object of the editor to give merely an index to the services of each regiment, which will enable the reader, with the aid of any amplified history of the rebellion, to trace the history of any organization in which he may be Interested. The rosters have been compiled from the records in the Adjutant-general's office, at Columbus. If there are mistakes it is the fault of the records. There are, no doubt, omissions, particularly in the list of officers, drafted men, and substitutes, since the records are in such shape that it is impossible to trace these three classes to their addresses at the time of ntering the service. The names of those whose original enrollment occurred in camp will, in many cases, be found omitted from the rosters. With these unavoidable exceptions the record will be found generally accurate. bravest citizens. Such a discussion would involve the whole constitutional history of the United States. Conflicting civilizations, conflicting interests, and conflicting ideas concerning fundamental principles of government had several times threatened the disruption of the Union. During all this time the insolent pretensions and arrogant demands of the South were met by the loyal people of New England stock, with quiet determination to resist the growth of slavery and to cripple the power by wh ch it was supported. The winter of 1860-61 was employed at the South with busy preparations for the impending conflict; at the North it was a period of waiting and doubt. On the 5th of October, 1860, the initial step toward actual secession was taken, by the Governor of South Carolina addressing a confidential circular to the Governors of other cotton States asking their advice and counsel on the proposition to secede from the Union. Florida supported the proposition with something like enthusiasm. The other Governors were unwilling to commit their States tc a proposition so glaring and extravagant. But defeat at the polls in November changed the attitude of Southern leaders. It became apparent that if an aristocracy was to be maintained an independent government must be established. Military companies were formed and equipped. The rabble, conspicuously indolent, found occasions for drill capable of being converted into hilarious holidays. The vanity of wealthy leaders and indolence of ignorant plebians hurried rebellion to a crisis while the Government was handicapped by an inactive Executive and deluded by the hope of a peaceful compromise. The whole North watched with most intense interest the operations at Charleston harbor, and at the same time the proceedings of the peace convention in session at Washington. At. length all doubts, and all fears, and all hesitation came to an end when the telegraph spread on the 12th of April, 1861, the news of the first gun fired upon Sumter. The conflict was at hand, and the need of the hour was clear. A few days later President Lincoln published a call for seventy-five thousand soldiers, which was answered with an alacrity worthy of the great cause in which they were to take part. Camps were established in different parts of the State for organization. Cleveland 116 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. was a place of rendezvous, where, by the close of April, four thousand men had collected anxious to go to the front. Of these one company was from Trumbull county, one from Mahoning, and a detachment of light artillery from both counties. Here begins the history of the Seventh Ohio Volunteer infantry known, in history as the " Bloody Seventh." SEVENTH OHIO REGIMENT VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. Out of the men collected at Camp Taylor on April 3o, 1861, this regiment was organized. Three companies were from the city of Cleveland, one from Oberlin, one from Painesville, one from Warren, one from Youngstown, one from Norwalk, and one from Franklin. They were men who obeyed their first impulse, and were consequently ready—adventurous spirits whose hearts were in the cause. Many of them were men of culture, and came out of the refined professions; among them were merchants, and the ranks were filled with mechanics and laborers. The Seventh had perhaps fewer farmers than any of the later organizations. The news of war first reached the towns, and the first call for men was largely filled from the towns. It was on Sunday morning, early in May, that this regiment left Camp Taylor, and marched into Cleveland. They were dressed in citizens' clothing, and bore no arms. Indeed, only the self-conscious step of the raw soldiery and the rattling measures of martial music distinguished them from the accompanying crowd. Every soldier bore the hard expression of fixed resolution, while the multitude—men, women, and children—expressed their feelings• by prayers and cheers, by exultation and tears. The regiment, more than one thousand strong, took the cars at Cleveland, and was soon in Camp Dennison, near Cincinnati. That wretched camp, bordered on the Miami river, was a cultivated field, and the rich loam soaked with water. No provision had been made for the reception of the regiment, but all set to work, and by evening huts had been built in which to bivouac for the night. The regiment was organized at Camp Dennison by the election of E. B. Tyler, of Ravenna, Ohio, colonel; William R. Creighton, lieutenant-colonel; John S. Casement, major. The regiment was placed under severe military discipline. By the time they had mastered the manual of arms and regimental and battalion movements the President issued a call for three years troops, or during the continuance of the war. The Seventh held a meeting, and almost unanimously voted to enter the three years service. Up to this time no uniforms had been supplied to the men; the citizen's dress was exchanged for the army blue. After a six days' furlough the regiment was mustered into the three years service. We are unable to give a roster of the three months men, the records not having been preserved. This regiment began full duty in Western Virginia, having left camp June 26, 1861. The first camp was at Clarksburg where a stand of colors was received as a present from a Cleveland society. The first regular march of this regiment was to the village of Weston, June 29th. Before three miles had been covered, exhaustion required a reduction of baggage. Canteens had not been supplied, and as the day was oppressively hot there was much suffering from thirst. Weston was finally reached on the following morning, and the object of the march accomplished, which was to capture $65,000 in gold that had been deposited in the bank at that place by the Virginia government. The next march was to Glenville, where the Seventeenth Ohio was beleaguered by a force of rebels. By the time the Seventh arrived the rebels had fled. Supplies were by this time exhausted, and confiscation was the only means of subsistence. This was a severe trial upon the consciences of many of the Seventh, but hunger soon made a conquest of conscience, and confiscating became part of the regular daily duty of the regiment. General Cox was at that time moving up the Kanawha valley, and the Seventh was ordered to establish communication with his division. While the regiment was encamped at Cross Lanes an order Has received from General Cox ordering it to join him at Gauley bridge. When the regiment reached a position near General Cox it was ascertained that rebel General Floyd, with four thousand men, was preparing to cross the Gauley at Cross Lanes, the camp so recently vacated by the Seventh. A countermarch was ordered, and within seven miles of the old camp the enemy's pickets were encountered but easily driven back. The regiment bivouacked near Cross Lanes and stood on picket duty all night. At daybreak firing commenced, and in a short time a strong force of the enemy TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 117 appeared in line of battle. The companies of the Seventh field different positions and acted independently of each other. They held their position bravely until forced back by an overwhelming force. One hundred and twenty men —killed, wounded, and prisoners—were left upon the field. The regiment was divided on the retreat, half finding its way hack to Gauley, and the other coming into the National lines near Charlestown, several miles below. While at Gauley the regiment received, a present of a handsome stand of arms from the people of the Western Reserve. In October Colonel Dyer assumed command of the Seventh. The regiment participated in the pursuit of Floyd through West Virginia. It was then returned to Charlestown and thence transferred to Central Virginia and in close proximity to the rebel army. Rebel General Jackson anticipated an attack planned against him, by advancing against the Federal forces. General Lander, under whom the Seventh was serving, retreated, leaying Jackson to occupy Romney, and after several attempts to intercept Jackson bivouacked on Hampshire Heights for a period of ten days. This was in mid-winter; the winds were boisterous, the snow ten inches deep, sand the cold intense. Where was scarce any protection from the cold and rations were short, circumstances which caused great suffering. The only protection from storms was a hut made of rails and brush, and huge bonfires of logs. Pawpaw Station was next occupied, and the regiment remained there till the opening of spring. While in camp General Lander died, and General Shields succeeded to the command. The battle of Winchester was the first general engagement in which the Seventh participated. On March 7, 1862, when Shields broke up winter quarters Banks had already occupied Winchester, Jackson having retreated without offering resistance. Shields made a reconnoissance to Strasburg, where a few rounds of artillery were exchanged. But little opposition being offered, the division returned to Winchester, covering the distance from where it started in four hours. Jackson stationed his army within four miles of Winchester, and on March 23d the rebel artillery opened a general engagement. Shields' division was early thrown to the front. The lines became furiously engaged about three o'clock in the afternoon, and until dark the battle raged. The Seventh performed a conspicuous part. Its loss was fourteen killed and fifty- one wounded, also several prisoners. Colonel Tyler was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general. Lieutenant-colonel Creighton succeeded to the colonelcy of the regiment. From Winchester General Shields moved up the Shenandoah valley to Harrisburg, and from there falling back took a strong position near New Market. A few days later an order from the War department required the Seventh, with the remainder of Shields' division, to join General McDowell at Fredericksburg. The troops arrived at their destination May 21st, nine days having been consumed on the march, a distance of one hundred and thirty-two miles. When Shields' soldiers arrived at McDowell's camp they were completely exhausted, and threw themselves upon the ground to rest. On the following day President Lincoln and other officials arrived at McDowell's camp, and another day of toilsome review increased the discomfort of the wearied men. Rebel General Jackson, as soon as Shields' division was withdrawn from the Shenandoah, pushed up the valley, and finding little opposition from Banks' army, made direct march toward Washington. It had been the Federal plan to march Shields' division toward Richmond, but this bold move on part of the opposition, required a change of arrangements. Shields hurried toward Jackson's 'ear, and the Third and Fourth brigades reached a point opposite Port Republic. Colonel Carroll was driven back, and by the time General Tyler came up a heavy force was prepared to meet him. Jackson began an assault at five o'clock on the following morning, and was promptly met with resolute resistance. The Seventh and Fifth Ohio became the center of the fight, and bore their conspicuous part with honorable bravery. The odds against General Tyler compelled him to meet the cunning Jackson with tactics of strategy. A wheat-field lay near the enemy's center. Under cover of standing wheat the Fifth and Seventh were double-quicked from point to point along the line, halting at intervals to pour a galling fire into Jackson's forces.. For five long hours this movement was kept up, three thousand muskets repelling fourteen thousand 118 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. of the flower of the rebel army. When a retreat was ordered by General Tyler, the Seventh was made the rear guard. The retreat was toward Washington, the Federal forces being hard pressed by the rebels. The Seventh never broke line, and sometimes halted to repel the enemy's advance. Jackson finally fell back toward Richmond. Shields' division reached Alexandria, on the Potomac, and thence took steamer to the Peninsula to join McClellan, then operating against Richmond. In consequence of the Third and Fourth brigades being greatly reduced in numbers, they were ordered to disembark and go into camp near Alexandria. The First and Second brigades joined McClellan. In July the Third and Fourth joined Bank's forces near Little Washington. While at this point General Geary succeeded General Tyler as brigade commander. The latter was promoted to the rank of major-general. General Pope assumed command of the army of Virginia, to which General Banks' corps belonged. The Seventh was placed in Banks' corps. On August 9th General Banks arrived at Cedar Mountain, which was held by Stonewall Jackson. Banks commenced the attack about 3 o'clock. The Federals were at great disadvantage, having to stand in an open field, while the rebels were protected by thick woods. The Seventh was advanced to the front in full range of the enemy's guns. The Federal ranks marched boldly to the woods and were engaged in a hand to hand struggle when night closed in on the bloody scene. The Federals retired a short distance for the night. Over three hundred men of the Seventh were engaged, of whom only one hundred escaped unhurt. The approach of General Lee required a retreat on part of the Federal forces, to Washington. A month of fighting and laborious marching followed. On September 17th was fought the bloody battle of Antietam. The Seventh was present but did not actively participate, except as a reserve force. In the fall of 1862 the Seventh was recruited by two hundred men. The original one thousand had been reduced by disease, in battle, and from other causes, to less than three hundred. In December the regiment went into winter quarters and was only once disturbed—by Stuart's cavalry, which was easily repulsed. The camp remained quiet until April 3o, 0863. On that date a ten days' march was begun toward Chancellorsville, with eight days' rations ; the march consumed ten days. On the day following the arrival of the Seventh the battle of Chancellorsville began. The Seventh was thrown into the hottest of the fight, being ordered first to support a battery and then a line of skirmishers. The latter soon fell back to the main line, but the Seventh continued the advance till ordered to retreat. Early on the following morning the Seventh occupied a line of rifle pits exposed to a terrible fire from the enemy. About noon it was transferred to its former position. While here it was left in the most hazardous situation. All the Federal forces withdrew, leaving the Seventh and two other regiments to cover the retreat. The conduct of the Seventh, both in action and retreat, was highly meritorious. Its entire loss was 14 killed and seventy wounded. After a few days spent in reorganization, both armies began the race through Maryland into Pennsylvania. The Seventh reached Gettysburg on June 1, 1863, after a laborious march, and took a position on the left of the National lines. During that terrible battle the Seventh was hurried from point to point where reinforcements were most needed. It had the protection of breastworks during the hottest of the fight. It was consequently saved, only one man being killed and seventeen wounded. After the battle of Gettysburg the Seventh was ordered, with other regiments, to New York to, quell the riots, and on August 26th went into camp on Governor's Island. In September, the drafts being over and all disturbances being quieted, the Seventh returned to the Rapidan. While there the Twelfth army corps, to which it was attached, was consolidated with the Eleventh army corps, and formed the Twentieth army corps under Hooker, which was ordered to the Western department. They passed from Washington, over the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, through Columbus, Indianapolis, Louisville, and thence to Nashville and Bridgeport, Alabama, where they went into winter quarters. General Grant, then in command of the Western department, determined to drive the rebels from Lookout Mountain, and for that purpose concentrated his forces at Bridgeport. 'The Seventh was ordered to leave its comfortable winter quarters and join TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 119 in the service. It was not brought under fire until the foot of the mountain had been reached, where the conformation of the ground gave ample protection. The enemy on top of the mountain, unable to bring their guns into range, attempted to resist the ascent of the Federal troops by shooting off the tops of the trees. A heavy fog soon enveloped the whole mountain, and the firing ceased. At dawn the enemy had disappeared, and the flag of the Union was planted on the highest pinnacle of that lofty and rugged mountain. The enemy was hotly pursued across the plains of Chattanooga and up the sides of Mission Ridge, where but feeble resistance was met. This retreat cost the rebel army two thousand prisoners. On the 27th of November the enemy made a stand on Taylor's Ridge, to prevent the Federals from going through Thompson's Gap. Geary's brigade was ordered to storm the height. It formed in two columns on the railroad, the Seventh occupying the left of the rear column. Before advancing the gallant Colonel Creighton made a speech to his men, in which he said : "Boys, we are ordered to take that hill. Now I want to see you walk right up and take it." They adyanced in face of a merciless fire on the front and on the left. Colonel Creighton, finding it impossible to advance directly, turned his men into a ravine, but they were still subject to a galling fire. The line approached a fence and while Creighton was facing the enemy's bullets, waiting the advance of his command, a rifle ball pierced his body. He gasped "My dear wife," and expired. Lieutenant-Colonel Crane had also fallen, and the regiment, bearing their loved commanders, made hasty retreat. Only one commissioned officer of the Seventh escaped uninjured. Nineteen were killed and sixty-one wounded. The regiment retreated to Chattanooga. Creighton and Crane were both from Cleveland, the former a printer, the latter a ship carpenter. Both were characteristically brave and admired. The loss to the regiment was severe and discouraging. It is no wonder that on the 1st of January, when the roll for re-enlistment was presented, these battle-worn troops were indisposed to join the service. The winter was spent quietly at Bridgeport, Alabama, until May 3d. On that date the regiment left winter quarters and met the enemy at Rocky Face Ridge. Hooker's corps easily overcame opposition, and followed in pursuit until June 11th, with but slight loss on either side. The recruits of the Seventh were consolidated with the Fifth, and with that regiment served with Sherman through Georgia. The veterans' term of service having expired, they were sent North by rail to Nashville, thence by steamer to Cincinnati. On Saturday, June 24, 1864, the regiment took its departure for Cleveland, and en July 8th was mustered out of the service. The Seventh had served more than three years, during which time more than one thousand eight hundred men had served with it. It had served in more than a score of battles, and, except about sixty new recruits, only two hundred and forty men remained to bring home the colors, riddled by shot and shell. It had served East and West, was always in the van, and participated in the hottest battles of the war. COMPANY H. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Captain Joel F.

NINETEENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. Just two weeks after the Seventh left Camp Taylor for the field, a sufficient number of full companies had reported at the same place to form another regiment, which was mustered into the three months' service as the Nineteenth Ohio volunteer infantry. Three companies of this regiment, B, C, and G, were mainly from Trumbull and Mahoning counties. They were transferred to Camp Jackson, near Columbus, May 27, 1861, and at once proceeded to the election TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 121 of officers. The old militia rules were then practiced which gave regiments the privilege of choosing their own officers. In the later days of the war such democratic management was not tolerated. Samuel Beatty was chosen colonel, Elliott W. Hollingsworth lieutenant-colonel, Lewis P. Buckley major. Companies A and B were placed on guard duty, and the other eight companies sent to Camp Goddard to master the manual of arms and drill. The regiment was united at Bellaire June 21st, and arrived at Parkersburg on the 23d. The Eighth, Tenth, and Nineteenth were organized into a brigade and placed under command of William S. Rosecrans for service in West Virginia. The brigade reached a position in front of the rebel fortifications at Rich Mountain July 7th. General Rosecrans, in his report of the battle, said: " Seven companies of the Nineteenth deployed into line and delivered two splendid volleys, when the enemy broke." And again: "The Nineteenth distinguished itself for the cool and handsome manner in which it held its position against a flank attack, and for the manner in which it came into line and delivered its fire near the close of the action." Three men were wounded in this battle. By September 26th nine companies had re-en listed for the three years' service, and by November 7th the regiment was at Camp Dennison fully armed and equipped for the full term. Trumbull and Mahoning's contribution to the second organization will be found at the close of this sketch. November 16th it took steamer for Louisville, and was the first regiment to occupy Fort Jenkins, near Louisville. The first death was that of David Clunk, whose team ran over him. The Nineteenth was brigaded under command of General Boyle, and marched to Columbia, where it encamped. January 16th it moved up the riyer for the purpose of intercepting Zollicoffer, but the rebel defeat at Spring Mills rendered a force on the Upper Columbia unnecessary, and the regiment returned to Columbia. While lying at that place typhoid fever made sad havoc among the men. From Columbia the regiment marched to Nashville early in March, one hundred and twenty miles of the distance being covered with shoes in such condition that they might be termed barefooted. On March 18th the regi ment took steamer at Nashville for Savannah, and on Sunday, April 6th, was within fourteen miles of that place. It set out on double-quick in the direction of the booming cannon. At dark the regiment was on the boat that was to transport it to Pittsburg Landing. Thousands of stragglers and wounded men lined the river bank, and the army was driven almost to the river. The dreary, rainy night which followed was passed upon the field, and daybreak opened with a sharp rattle of musketry, and the enemy appeared pursuing the advantage gained on the previous day. A published report says: The colonel and Captain Manderson held their men steady and deported themselves, as did their officers and men, with coolness and courage until the colonel ordered them back to a position from under the enemy's battery. Major Edwards was shot dead from his horse, and a number of privates were killed and wounded. The success of the second day at Pittsburg Landing is well known. The next ten days were spent upon the field, without tents or camp equipage, in mud and rain, and the terrible stench of the battlefield. The regiment participated in the approach to Corinth. It was while on this march in April, 1862, that Captain Franklin E. Stowe, of company G, died of disease. On May 29th it entered Corinth after the enemy and followed the enemy in pursuit as far as Brownsboro. It subsequently joined the army under Buell and marched to Florence, Alabama, and to Battle Creek, at which place Lieutenant David W. Hildebrand died of disease. The Nineteenth was present at Bardstown Turnpike, but did not participate. It afterwards engaged in a running skirmish at Crab Orchard, where it captured a rebel gun. The regiment marched through Somerset, Glasgow, Gallatin, and Nashville into camp on the Murfreesboro turnpike. December 26th, the regiment, under command of Major Manderson, began the march toward Murfreesboro.. On the last day of the year it was thrown across Stone river, on the left, for the purpose of swinging around into Murfreesboro, but the disaster to McCook's right wing compelled a withdrawal. The river was recrossed and by determined resistance the rebel advance was checked. On January 2d the Fourteenth and Twenty-third brigades, to which tile Nineteenth was attached, recrossed the river and received the full 122 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. charge of the rebel column under Breckinridge. They were forced to retreat, but the rebels coming into range of the massed batteries were driven back with great slaughter. The Nineteenth Ohio and Ninth Kentucky were the first across' the river in pursuit. More than a mile was gained, four pieces of artillery captured, and, had not darkness interfered, the pursuit would have been carried into Murfreesboro. But this success was accomplished with great cost. Captain Bean, of company E, Lieutenant Bell, of company C, Lieutenant Donovan, of company B, and Sergeant-major Tylee were killed. Lieutenants Southerland and Keel were severely wounded. The regiment entered the battle with four hundred and forty-nine men, and lost in killed, wounded, and missing two hundred and thirteen, nearly one-half. Murfreesboro was occupied on January 4th, and the Nineteenth went into camp on Liberty turnpike. Lieutenant-colonel Hollingsworth resigned, Major Manderson was promoted to his place, and Captain H. G. Stratton made major. The whole army remained in camp till June 28th. In August the Nineteenth crossed the Cumberland mountains, and in September, at Craw-fish Springs, had a brisk skirmish with the enemy, in which two men in company D were killed. On September 18th the Ninteenth, supported by two other regiments, made an advance upon the enemy. With a cheer the regiment advanced upon the enemy, drove them back, and captured several prisoners and a battery. Compelled to retreat by a superior body of rebels they were mistaken for a detachment of the enemy and fired upon. This mistake cost several lives. September loth, the second day of the battle of Chickamauga, the regiment held an important position and performed an important share of the fighting till nightfall, when the whole army retreated to Chattanooga. During the siege the regiment remained at Chattanooga, and on November 23d made an advance on Orchard Knob, in which twenty men were lost. On November 25th it charged on the rebel works at Mission Ridge, and without orders scaled the rugged mountain and aided in driving the rebels down the opposite side. The Nineteenth marched with Sherman to Knoxville. This was a most arduous march, the men being only half clothed and half shod. They left tracks of blood on the snow. Finding that Longstreet had raised the siege of Knoxville the forces moved to Flat creek, where over four hundred of the Nineteenth re-enlisted in the veteran service. The regiment returned to Chattanooga, and thence to Ohio, reaching Cleyeland February 16th.

The Twentieth Ohio volunteer infantry was organized in response to the first call for three months' troops in May, 186i, with Colonel Charles Whittlesey as colonel, and Manning F. Force as lieutenant-colonel. Colonel Whittlesey had graduated at West Point and made considerable reputation as an engineer and geologist. He had performed important service in the Lake Superior region, and when thrown into active service at the head of a regiment gave his attention to constructing works for the defense at Cincinnati. While engaged on these works the regiment was under direct command of Lieutenant-colonel Force, by whom they were trained for field duty. Colonel Whittlesey resigned April 19, 1862, and Lieutenant-colonel Force was promoted to colonel and subsequently to brigadier-general. Harrison Wilson was the third colonel of the Twentieth regiment. first-lieutenant John C. Fry was promoted to captain and with that rank entered the three years' service. He was promoted to colonel of the regiment in January, 1864. On the 14th of February the Twentieth arrived beforeFort Dorelson and was under heavy fire during the following day. It was then ordered to the extreme right and held in reserve during the remainder, of the battle. Though not drawn into the heat of the fight the regiment deported itself creditably in this first action in 126 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. which it was called. After the surrender of the fort the Twentieth was sent north in charge of prisoners and became scattered all over the country. By the middle of March seven companies of the regiment were collected on the Tennessee river. While in camp at Adamsville, on April 6th, the booming of cannon was heard at Pittsburg Landing. At three o'clock the regiment started for the field and took a position on the right of the army. In the next day's fight the regiment participated with considerable loss and a full share of honor. It was in command of Lieutenant-colonel Force, Colonel Whittlesey being in command of a brigade. During the advance on Corinth the Twentieth remained on duty at Pittsburg Landing, where sickness and death made terrible ravages. At one time less than one hundred men were able to appear on parade duty. After the fall of Corinth it was transferred to Bolivar, where it was left on garrison duty. At this point the health of the regiment greatly improved. In August, 1862, rebel General Armstrong with. thirteen regiments was repulsed by the Twentieth and two other regiments, but with the loss of two companies, G and K, by capture. Of so much importance was this affair considered that several officers were promoted for gallantry. In the fall of 1862 the Twentieth was assigned to General Logan's division of the Seventeenth army corps. It proceeded southward and reached Memphis on January 23, 1863. In May the Thirteenth corps moved towards Raymond, where the Twentieth Ohio lost in an hour's struggle 12 killed and 15 wounded. At the conclusion of this fight three cheers were given for the " Twentieth Ohio boys." It then moved on through Clinton, Jackson, and Champion Hills, where the regiment was placed in advance position in a ravine, and held it against the massed advance of the enemy till its ammunition gave way. It then fixed bayonets and prepared to charge, but the timely arrival of the Sixty-fifth Ohio relieved it of such desperate action. By May 21st the regiment reached the rear of Vicksburg. It performed an honorable part in the Vicksburg campaign. More than two-thirds of the men re-enlisted in January, 1864, and in March returned to their homes on veteran furlough. They again rendezvoused at Camp Dennison, May 1st, and from there were transferred to Clifton, Tennessee. On the 23d of June the regiment arrived at! Kenesaw mountain. In the battle which followed it performed a dangerous part. It participated in the battle of Atlanta, and subsequently accompanied Sherman to the sea. Its service was concluded in that direction by the surrender of Savannah. After some skirmishing and fighting in Carolina it reached Raleigh, and on April 15th, when it became known that Johnston had asked terms of surrender, the men were crazy with joy. They stood on their heads in the mud, threw their knapsacks at each other, and hugged each other in mad delight. From Raleigh the regiment marched via Rich. mond to Washington; it participated in the grand review of May 24th, and from Washington was transferred to Louisville. June 18th the Twentieth Ohio was returned to Columbus and mus. tered out. COMPANY H. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS.

There being no boats to transport it across the river, it marched through the deep swamp and arrived in time to take part in the closing action of the first day. On the second day of the battle the regiment bore a brave part, though the loss was fortunately small. Major Albert S. Hall, who enlisted from Warren, was severely wounded. From Pittsburg Landing the Twenty-fourth marched to Corinth and participated in several skirmishes on the way. It was one of the first regiments to enter Corinth. It followed in pursuit to Alabama, and in July was encamped at McMinnville, Tennessee. In December, 1862, when Rosecrans left Nashville, the regiment was reduced to three hundred men. With this strength it went into the battle of Stone River. The regiment was assigned to an important post, and held it faithfully. Colonel F. C. Jones, Major Terry, and Lieutenant Harmon were killed the first day. Four commissioned officers were killed in this engagement, and the regiment lost one-fourth of its strength. The Twenty-fourth participated in the battle of Woodbury, Tennessee, January 24, 1863; at Lookout Mountain, at Mission Ridge, at Chickamauga, at Taylor's Ridge, and at Ringgold. Company D re enlisted in the veteran service. The remaining companies were mustered out at the expiration of their term of service. COMPANY A. COMMISSIONED OFFICER. Second Lieutenant Charles R.

TWENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. Company G, of this regiment, was organized in Mahoning county. The other companies were from the counties of Ross, Delaware, Butler, Guernsey, Champaign, Scioto, and Madison. It was mustered in July, 1861, at Camp Chase, and was soon after sent to the Kanawha valley. It remained on scouting duty until January. In TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 129 Rosecrans' advance on Sewell Mountain the Twenty-sixth led the movement and guarded the retreat. The service of this regiment in the early part of the war was laboriously severe, although no opportunity was offered to try its powers on the field of battle. In January, 1862, the Twenty-sixth was transferred to the Department of the Ohio, afterwards known as the Department of the Cumberland. It was under General Buell through the whole campaign of 1862, and suffered with army the hardships of forced marches, but had no opportunity to display courage on the field. , It bore a reputation for order and discipline, and in those particulars was a model. In a slight engagement with Forest at McMinnville, Tennessee, Colonel Young and the Twenty-sixth, supported by three other regiments, repelled the enemy and made the important capture of General Forest's battle horse, which was subsequently shot under Colonel Young on the battle of Perryville, while in the command of the Fifty-sixth. The first general engagement in which the Twenty-sixth participated was at Murfreesboro, December 26, 1862. On that day the command devolved upon Major Squires; several gallant and successful charges were made on the enemy, one of which was of great advantage. The enemy's retreating rear guard was driven back and the fire of a burning bridge extinguished. Major Squires was presented with an elegant sword as a mark of appreciation of his services on that day. The Twenty-sixth performed a gallant part in the battle of Stone River. It was one of several regiments which stood firm against rebel General Bragg's dashing columns, while the Union army on the right and left gave way. The Twenty-sixth was the apex of a convex line of battle which stood immovable for several hours. On that day nearly one-third of the regiment was either killed or disabled. This regiment was present at. Tullahoma, at Shelbyville, and at Chattanooga. Its bloodiest day was at Chickamauga, where it was in the thickest of the fight. Three-fifths of all engaged were killed, wounded, or captured. One company H, lost twenty-one out of twenty- four men engaged. There was no surrender of wounded men. We copy from Reid the conduct of this regiment at Mission Ridge: It occupied nearly the center of the front line of assault, and was there called upon to sustain the concentrated force of the rebel circular line of forty cannon and thousands of muskets. The assault was made in the face of this terrific fire, and the column worked its way slowly and painfully, yet steadily and unfalteringly up the long and rugged slope of that blazing, smoking, jarring, blood-drenched, and death- laden mountain, fighting its way step by step, every minute becoming weaker by the exhaustive outlay of strength in so prolonged a struggle, and thinner from the murderous fire of the foe from above, until with less than half the command, with the entire color guard disabled, the colonel, bearing his own colors, spurred his foaming and bleeding horse over the enemy's works, and they threw down their arms, abandoned their guns, and gave themselves to precipitous flight. In this action the Twenty-sixth captured fifty prisoners and two cannon. Later in the day the Twenty-sixth Ohio and Fifteenth Indiana, under command of Colonel Young, captured a six- gun battery the enemy were attempting to carry off in their retreat, and flanked and dislodged a strong body of the enemy, who, with two heavy guns, were attempting to hold in check the National forces until their trains could be withdrawn. These guns also were captured. In token of their appreciation of Colonel Young's gallantry his command presented him with a splendid sword. The Twenty-sixth, after the fight on Mission Ridge, could muster few more than two hundred men out of the one thousand who two years before had entered the service. The Twenty-sixth, half fed, half clad, battle-scarred, and worn out by marching and fighting, almost to a man re- enlisted on January 1, 1864. It was the first regiment of the Fourth army corps to re-enlist for the veteran service, and the first to arrive home on veteran furlough. After the expiration of its furlough the Twenty-sixth rejoined the Fourth corps at Bridgeport, Tennessee, whence it joined under Sherman in his Atlanta campaign. It maintained its splendid fighting reputation at Resaca, Kenesaw, Peach Tree creek, Jonesboro, and all minor engagements. It participated in the pursuit of rebel General Hood to Nashville and in the successful battle which followed. It again participated in the pursuit of the defeated rebels to Alabama, and reaped a full share of the spoils of victory. The Twenty-sixth participated in the Texas campaign in the summer of 1865. It suffered greatly in consequence of heat, thirst, and other annoyances. It was mustered out of the service October 21, 1865, and at once transported to Camp Chase, where it was paid off and discharged. COMPANY G. COMMISSIONED OFFICER. Captain Samuel C.

The Twenty-ninth Ohio infantry was recruited mainly in Ashtabula county, and ,mustered into the service at Camp Giddings, near Ashtabula, in August, 1861, being one of the first regiments to respond to the call for three year troops. A few volunteers from the north part of Trumbull county joined this regiment. Their names will be found below.

THIRTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. The German citizens of Ohio showed no want of patriotism when troops were required to preserve the Union. The third German regiment from the State, which took rank as the Thirty- seventh Ohio, was recruited from the counties of Cuyahoga, Ross, Lucas, Mahoning, Auglaize, Franklin, Tuscarawas, Erie, Wyandot, and Mercer. Company I was partially enrolled at Youngstown. Colonel E. Siber was an accomplished soldier, having been in the service in Prussia and Brazil. The regiment was mustered into service October 2, 1861, at Camp Dennison, and assigned to the Department of West Virginia, then in command of General Rosecrans. The service through West Virginia was dangerous and laborious, though it did not afford the TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 131 opportunity for participation in great battles. An affair at Wyoming Court House, in which two Youngstown soldiers lost their lives, was somewhat characteristic of the service in that locality. While on an expedition to destroy a railroad, a detachment fell into an ambuscade and was surrounded by the enemy. Besides the two killed, one officer and seven men were taken prisoners. On September so, 1862, the regiment engaged in a, fight on the Princeton road, which lasted six hours. Colonel Siber displayed great gallantry in protecting a valuable train of provisions and equipage on a retreat which a superior force of the enemy made necessary. Early in 1863 the Thirty-seventh was transferred to the Mississippi to engage in Grant's Vicksburg campaign. It was one of the regiments detailed to construct a canal which was to change the course of the river and leave Vicksburg an inland town. During the siege the regiment lost nineteen killed and seventy-five wounded. After the fall of Vicksburg the Thirty-seventh marched to Jackson, Mississippi, and participated in the capture of that place. It then pursued rebel General Forrest to Chattanooga and assisted in the capture of Mission Ridge November 25, 1863, at which place Joseph Zedaker, of Mahoning county, was killed. Three-fourths of this. gallant German regiment re-enlisted in the veteran service, and on returning to the field in March, 1864, it was detailed for the Atlanta campaign, and subsequently followed Sherman to the sea. The Thirty-seventh was mustered out in August, 1865. COMPANY I. PRIVATES. Charies Hagerman, Jacob Walter, Ferdinand Wellendorf, mustered out with company.

THIRTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. This regiment, of which Edwin D. Bradley, Edward H. Phelps, and William A. Choate were the successive colonels, was organized at Defiance, Ohio, in September, 1861. In the original muster no Reserve men were included. The regiment was afterwards recruited by transfers from other regiments. The following, from the One Hundred and Fifth Ohio, originally enlisted from Trumbull and Mahoning counties. COMPANY B.

The nucleus of the Forty-first Ohio volunteer infantry was a company of volunteers recruited in Trumbull county, by Seth A. Bushnell and Emerson Opdyke. The defeat of Bull Run had fired the patriotic North, and men responded to the call to arms with alacrity. More than the full quota of one company enlisted from Trumbull, which made it necessary for several volunteers to be assigned to other companies. At the regimental organization, September r, 186i, the Trumbull company was ranked A in recognition of its priority of enlistment. William B. Hazen, of the United States infantry, was appointed colonel. He was succeeded in November, 1862, by Aquilla Wiley, and Colonel Wiley in June 1864, was succeeded by Ephraim S. Holloway. The successive lieutenant-colonels were John J. Wiseman, George S. Mygatt, Aquilla Wiley, Robert Z. Kimberly, E. S. Holloway and Ezra Dunham. The successive majors were George S. 132 - TRUMBULL. AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. Mygatt, William R. Tollars, Aquilla Wiley, Robert z. kimberly, J. H. Williston, Ephraim S. Holloway, Erza Dunham and James McCleary. An officers' school was instituted at Camp Taylor and rigid military discipline practiced. By the time the rolls of all the companies were filled the regiment was reedy for the field. It was formally mustered into service at Camp Dennison, near Cincinnati, October 31, 1861. Occasional raiding excursions into Virginia was the only relief from the monotony of daily drill, until the latter part of November, when it joined the forces then being organized into the Army of the Ohio, by General Buell. The winter was spent at Camp Wickliffe, where the Forty-first, by its neatness and precise conduct, became conspicuous. It became the nucleus of the Nineteenth brigade, placed under command of Colonel Hazen, and in February moved up the Cumberland to Nashville. About the middle of March the army to which the Forty-first belonged moved up the river to Savannah, and on Saturday, April 5th, encamped within two miles of Pittsburg Landing. The roar of heavy firing announced the opening of the battle. On Sunday morning, April 6th, about 1 o'clock, the army began to move toward the field. At 5 o'clock it arrived opposite the battlefield, and Hazen's brigade was second to cross the river. That terrible night was spent in the beating rain on the field strewn with dead, dying, and wounded soldiers. When in the morning the enemy was discovered to be advancing, Hazen's brigade was ordered to the charge. The Forty-first occupied the front line and steadily advanced through a thicket of underbrush to an open space where a murderous fire saluted the steady line., The advance was continued till the rebels were driven beyond their fortification and their guns captured. The brigade in turn was driven back to its orignal line, where it readily re-formed. Three officers and three men who at different times carried the colors were shot down, and of the three hundred and seventy-three members of the regiment who entered the engagement one hundred and forty- one were either killed or wounded in half an hour's desperate action. From Pittsburg Landing, the Forty-first accompanied the army as far as Corinth. • It had in the meantime occupied miserable quarters on the field of Shiloh, which had seriously affected the health of the men. After the evacuation of Corinth, the regiment was employed at skirmishes and forced marches, continuing with the army under Buell. It marched from Louisville in October against Bragg, and participated in the battle of Perryville. Its next engagement was at Murfreesboro, in which it performed a conspicuous and dangerous part. It had entered the battle with four hundred and ten officers and men, of which number one hundred and twelve were killed or wounded. It was engaged in marches, rest and skirmishing until September 19th, when the battle of Chickamauga commenced. In the first charge on that day one hundred men were killed or wounded. General Hazen's brigade participated in the last charge of the day, which determined the 1ssue of the battle. At Lookout Mountain the Forty-first maintained its reputation for gallantry. After the battle, while Generals Grant and Thomas were reviewing the field, General Thomas said to Colonel Wiley: "Colonel, I want you to express to your men my thanks for your splendid conduct this afternoon. It was a gallant thine. Colonel—a very gallant thing." At Mission Ridge the conduct of the Forty-first was in harmony with its former reputation; one hundred and fifteen men were lost in that battle. On January, 1864, there were only one hundred and eighy-eight of the veteran regiment left. All but eight re-enlisted in the veteran service. It reached Cleveland on veteran, furlough February 2, 1864. With one hundred recruits, the regiment was reported for service at East Tennessee, March 26th. During the summer of 1864 the regiment was with Sherman on his Atlanta campaign. Af. ter the fall of Atlanta the Forty-first accompanied Thomas' army in pursuit of Hood. At the bat tle of Nashville the regiment captured some prisoners, four pieces of artillery and two battle flags. The latter were captured by private Holcomb, of company A, and Sergeant Garrett, of company G, who were afterwards sent to Washington by General Thomas to bear their trophies. The regiment followed in pursuit of Hood after the demoralization of his army at Nashville, as fir as Huntsville, Alabama. The Forty-first was de. tailed on the Texas campaign and mustered out at San Antonio in November, 1865. It reached Columbus, Ohio, and was finally discharged November 26, 1865, having been in the service four TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 133 years and one month. In this regiment Dr. A. G. Hart volunteered and was commissioned surgeon. COMPANY- A. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Captain Seth A. Bushnell. resigned November 27, 186r.

The regiment was organized at Camp Chase, near Columbus, June 7, 1862, and four days later ordered to Cumberland, Maryland. From this point the regiment was variously employed on expeditions, cutting off rebel communications, capturing mail and mail carriers, and beating down guerrilla bands. Shortly before the expiration of its term of service, the Eighty-fourth anticipated an engagement with the enemy at New Creek, and made preparations accordingly. The enemy, however, retired Without striking a blow, after which the Eighty-fourth and Eighty-seventh were sent to Camp Delaware and there mustered out of the service. Governor Tod in an address complimented both officers and men upon the efficiency of their service, which covered a period of nearly a month longer than the time of their enlistment. There were several of these three months regiments. The President in May, 1862, perceived the urgent need of an increased army to guard the Northern States against threatened raids. General Banks had retreated down the Shenandoah valley, and Rebel General Jackson, the most energetic commander in the field, was evidently planning a northern expedition. But a couple of weeks elapsed between President Lincoln's call for seventy-five thousand men and the arrival at the front of Ohio's quota. COMPANY B. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Captain Roswell Shurtleff.

[Six Months Organization.] There were two organizations known as the Eighty-sixth Ohio infantry. The first was a three months regiment, recruited under the call of May, 1862. That regiment served chiefly in West Virginia. At the expiration of its term of service the danger of rebel raids into the Northern States had not abated, and a reorganization was effected for six months longer. Wilson C. Lemert, the former major, was commissioned colonel of the new regiment, and but a short time elapsed before the companies were all full. Captain Seth H. Truesdale, with a company from Mahoning county, was first to report. 136 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. The organization was opportune, for the men had scarce been equipped when the famous rebel guerilla, John Morgan, crossed the Ohio and began an expedition through our own State. The Eighty-sixth, then in Camp Tod, was ordered to join in pursuit of the invaders. Morgan had been defeated at Buffington's island in an attempt to cross the river at that point, and turned toward the Northwest with a view of making his escape in that direction. The Eighty- sixth was ordered to Zanesville, and a detachment under Lieutenant-colonel McFarland at once sent to Eagleport, where it was supposed Morgan would cross the river. It arrived just in time to see the rear guard clear the stream. McFarland's force not being sufficient to attack, he endeavored to delay the enemy by skirmishing until the force in pursuit should come up. Having executed his orders McFarland returned to Zanesville. In the meantime Major Kraus, with the remainder of the Eighth-sixth, had gone to Cambridge to intercept Morgan at that point. In this he was unsuccessful, the raiders having passed through the town before Kraus arrived. Pursuit was continued until the capture of Morgan's forces in Salineville, Columbiana county. The Eighty-sixth returned to Camp Tod, whence after a short rest it was ordered to Kentucky. The regiment was permitted to participate in one achievement, which was accomplished without the loss of a single man. The Eighty-sixth and One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Ohio, the Twenty-second Ohio battery, and detachments of two Tennessee cavalry regiments arrived before Cumberland Gap on the 8th of September, on the Kentucky side. Simultaneously General Burnside's division appeared on the Tennessee side, thus throwing the rebel garrison between the two forces. After a judicious disposition of the troops the garrison, under command of General Frazier, was summoned to surrender, which was readily acceded to, though spirited resistance might have been offered. The Eighty-sixth Ohio was first to march into the fort and raise the National colors. The fruit of the capture was 2,800 prisoners, 5,000 stand of arms, 13 pieces of artillery, and large quantities of commissary stores and ammunition. The Eighty-sixth Ohio was retained at Cumberland Gap as part of the garrison till the expiration of its term of service. It started for Ohio January 16, 1864, and arrived at Cleveland, January 26th. The regiment was mustered out February to, 1864, at Cleveland. COMPANY A COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Captain Seth H. Truesdale. First Lieutenant Lewis N. Polluck. Second Lieutenant Charles E. Patrick.

EIGHTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. This regiment was organized in response to the call of President Lincoln in May, 1862, for three months' men. H. B. Banning was commissioned colonel. It left for the field June 15th, and was stationed at Harper's Ferry, where it remained until the siege of that place by rebel General Jackson, and was surrendered with the National forces, although the term of its enlistment had expired. When this circumstance was made known the regiment was permitted to return home. It was mustered out at Camp Chase September 20, 1862. The following were enrolled in Trumbull and Mahoning counties: COMPANY I. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Edward' G.

Next to pure, patriotic feeling the love of glory and applause is the soldier's most powerful incentive to noble action. There is in consequence a feeling of disappointment if the opportunity of attaining distinction is not afforded. The Eighty-eighth Ohio was peculiarly unfortunate in the position it was required by stern military discipline to occupy. The nucleus of this regiment was the First battalion, Governor's Guards, Independent volunteer infantry, organized in June, 1862. It was placed on guard duty at Camp Chase, then filled with rebel prisoners. This service was both arduous and monotonous. Both officers and men urgently solicited a change of duty, in which they were successful to the extent of being transferred to another quarter. It was made part of the guard back of Covington to prevent the threatened attack on Cincinnati. In this position the battalion did efficient service. Frequent applications had been made for authority to recruit a full regiment, which was finally granted. June 26, 1863, just one month later, the regiment was completed. Company D was enrolled in Mahoning county. George W. Neff, lieutenant-colonel of the Second Kentucky infantry, - who had shortly before been released from a thirteen months imprisonment, was appointed to the colonelcy of the regiment. He placed it under severe discipline and joined his men in the hope of being ordered to the front. There was great disappointment, therefore, when the main body was ordered on the dreaded guard duty at Camp Chase. A small detachment was sent to West Virginia, but was soon recalled by the presence of the rebel raider, John Morgan, on this side of the Ohio river. It was correctly surmised that Morgan would attempt the destruction of Camp Dennison, one of the most important posts in the West. Colonel Neff was placed in command and ordered to take every precaution against being surprised by the enemy, or overcome in a conflict with him. The invalids 138 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. were armed and the Governor's Guards stationed at proper places. The people of the-surrounding country were pressed into the service, and were of great use by obstructing the roads with timber, thus delaying Morgan's movements. One small squad of the raiders forced its way to within a mile of the camp, but was driven .back by a force of invalids. After the Morgan excitement was over the regiment returned to Camp Chase, where it suffered the monotonous routine of guard duty most of the time until finally mustered out, July 3, 1865. Reid says in his history: "The Eighty-eighth Ohio was a complete and well drilled regiment, and if given a chance would immediately have performed good service in the field." COMPANY D.

The One Hundred and Fifth was recruited wholly in the eastern part of the Reserve., Companies A and H were from Mahoning county, the ,former being made up largely of miners. Company C was from Weathersfield township, and was also composed of miners. Company B was from different parts of Trumbull county, and company I from the northern townships of Trumbull, and southern townships of Ashtabula. G and K were mainly recruited in Lake county, and F in Geauga. Albert S. Hall, who had entered the service at the first call for troops as captain in the Twenty-fourth, was commissioned colonel. A full roster of the field and staff will be found below. 1,W give from Reid's Ohio in the War a sketch of this regiment carried out in greater detail than that of other regiments, because one-half of the One Hundred and Fifth was enrolled within the particular field of this volume. "The last company was mustered in at to o'clock on the morning of August 21st (1862), and in one hour the regiment, 1,013 strong, was on the march to the depot of the Cleveland & Cincinnati railroad, under orders to leave the State. It arrived at Covington, Kentucky, on the morning of August 22d, being the first regiment' to leave the State under the call of August 4, 1862. Its first company rendezvoused at Camp Taylor, August 11th, and ninety-five per cent. was enlisted after August 1st. It remained at Covington three days, the men receiving their advance bounty and one month's pay. Having been fully armed and equipped for the field, the regiment left Covington August 25th by railroad for Lexington, where it arrived the same day. At Lexington it was assigned to a brigade commanded by Colonel Charles Anderson, of the Ninety-third Ohio. Much confusion and excitement prevailed around Lexington at the time of the arrival of the One Hundred and Fifth, and the regiment had every prospect of an immediate encounter with the enemy. General Kirby Smith was advancing from Cumberland Gap toward TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 139 Lexington, and the most energetic preparations were being made to meet him. "On the 30th of August the One Hundred and Fifth, with several other regiments, received orders to march for Richmond, Kentucky, with all possible dispatch for the purpose of reinforcing General Nelson. Before reaching that place, however, the battle had been fought and lost. A halt was made at the Kentucky river until the remnants of Nelson's command could come up, when they returned to Lexington. The rebels in large force menacing Lexington, it was ordered that that city should be evacuated. Hasty preparations were made for the departure of our forces. On the night of September 1st the last column left for Louisville. The march was a forced one. Colonel Hall, of the One Hundred and Fifth, asked the privilege of bringing up the rear, and was allowed to do so. The troops were all new, and, as usual with that class of soldiers, were loaded down with baggage. The weather was intensely warm. There had been a drouth in the country marched over, and water was exceedingly scarce; and such was the supposed urgency of the retreat that the column was pushed on with great haste, giving the men little or no time to quench their thirst when water was found. The One Hundred and Fifth, being in the rear, fared badly, for those in front almost invariably exhausted the wells and creeks, leaving nothing but the muddy dregs for their companions in the rear. At times the thirst was overpowering, and each day men fell down from sunstroke apparently dead. However, the march was completed, the One Hundred and Fifth faithfully perJorming its duty as rear guard, not only to the retreating force, but acting as a support to a section of artillery totally unprovided with ammunition. All along the weary, dusty way scares occurred, and frequently stands were made against a supposed but invisible foe, involving detours across corn-fields, always, of course, on the double quick. This march was the baptismal campaign of the One Hundred and Fifth, and it told sadly on officers and men. As no tents had been drawn men were compelled to lie down upon the naked ground after enduring the terrible heat and dust. of the day. The march was completed September 5th, the men arriving of Louisville footsore and exhausted. Many were afflicted with chronic diarrhea and fevers, the majority of whom never recovered, but were discharged or died in the hospital. At Louisville the regiment was assigned to a brigade commanded by General Terrill, in a division commanded by Brigadier-general Jackson, which afterwards became the Thirty-third brigade, Tenth division of the army under General Buell. Much apprehension was felt at Louisville at the time on account of rebel General Bragg's invasion of Kentucky, and the troops were ordered at once to throw up works and prepare for vigorous defense. "General Nelson, recovering from his wound received at Richmond, took command of the army, and the utmost vigor and watchfulness were manifested, and every precaution taken to prevent surprise. The arrival of the army under General Buell allayed all fears, and the remainder of the time at Louisville was spent at drilling and making preparations for an early campaign against the rebel forces under General Bragg. Still, the One Hundred and Fifth entered upon this fall campaign with comparatively little knowledge of tactics and field maneuvering. "Leaving Louisville October 1st, the regiment marched via Taylorsville and Bloomfield to Perryville, where it was engaged October 8th, in the battle at that place. After marching some eight or ten miles on the morning of the 8th, making frequent halts, the vicinity of the contest was reached, but it was not until afternoon that the battle commenced at the point where the Qne Hundred and Fifth was stationed. The regiment moved rapidly forward and formed at the base of a ridge, where it awaited orders. Two companies had been sent out as skirmishers, but they joined the regiment at this point. Another regiment, the One Hundred and Twenty-third Illinois, and Parsons' battery, had been assigned to a position farther to the front and left. The regiment and battery soon became engaged, and the One Hundred and Fifth was ordered to their support. Moving by the right flank and on the double-quick, it passed in rear of the battery for the purpose of forming on its left. Before reaching its position it received a volley from a rebel regiment at short range and at once halted, faced by the rear rank and opened fire. The smoke from their guns had hardly cleared away before another rebel regiment, within fifty yards, rose up out of the tall grass that completely concealed 140 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. it and fired another volley. Parsons' battery had been posted without any support near it, and within fifty yards of the nearest concealed lines of rebel infantry. At the time the One Hundred and Fifth came up, most of the guns of Parsons' battery had been silenced, more than half its horses shot down, and many of its men killed and wounded. At the first volley from the One Hundred and Fifth the rebel lines, three or four deep, gradually moved forward, firing as they advanced, and swept the ridge where the battery and the One Hundred and Fifth stood. "In the rear of the rebel lines of infantry, on another ridge, were posted their batteries, which did terrible execution. General Terrill, seeing the gradual advance of the enemy, ordered Major Perkins to have the men fix bayonets, move forward, and try to save the guns. The enemy seeing this movement opened fire with renewed vigor. Fresh troops sprang up, new volleys smote the advancing National line. It faltered, wavered, and then fell back to its former position. The enemy rushed forward and succeeded in taking the guns. The lines were now almost within pistol shot. A second time, led on by the gallant Terrill and Major Perkins, the left wing moved forward against the foe now swarming around the silenced guns, and with exultant cheers pouring their destructive volleys into our line. On the left the enemy had forced back the One Hundred and Twenty-third Illinois, turned the flank of the One Hundred and Fifth Ohio and turned the guns on the National lines. The line again wavered but the men were still unwilling to retreat. At length General Terrill, seeing that further resistence was hopeless, gave the order to fall back. The order was obeyed; the men retired slowly at first, but under the merciless fire of the rebels the ranks broke, the companies scattered and order was lost. General Terrill and Colonel Hall succeeded in keeping together a few hundred men from different regiments, and these fell back from one position to another until they finally formed in rear of a battery, which they supported until night closed the contest. Here fell General Terrill, mortally wounded. General Jackson had been killed early in the engagement and Colonel Webster, commanding the other (Thirty-fourth) brigade, having been mortally wounded, Colonel Hall being the senior officer in the division took command. Before the battle commenced Lieutenant-colonel Tulles had been sent out in charge of a skirmish line to protect the left flank and did not rejoin the regiment until it had fallen back from its first position where the battery stood. Thus closed the first battle in which the regiment engaged. How well they fought the long list of killed and wounded will show. Captain L D. McKee was killed, several other officers were wounded, one captain, Robert Wilson, mortally. Forty-seven men were killed and two hundred and twelve wounded, many of whom afterward died. "After the battle the regiment, under command of Lieutenant-colonel Tolles, marched via Harrodsburg to Danville. Colonel Hall was relieved of the command of the division by General Robert S. Granger, and took command of the brigade. At Danville the brigade was detached from the main army and ordered to Mumfordsville, where it arrived October 25th, and remained there till November 3oth, performing post and guard duty. Time being had for drill at this place great proficiency was acquired, and the regiment now became fairly 'organized. On leaving Mumfordsville it marched to Glasgow, thence to Carthage, Tennessee. "After leaving Kentucky the brigade was ordered to Hartsville, on the Cumberland river, where a brigade of Northern troops had just been captured by the rebel John Morgan. Remaining at Hartsville but one night the regiment marched to Bledsoe's creek, about six miles from, Gallatin, and encamped. While here the brigade was assigned to the Twelfth division, commanded by Brigadier-general J. J. Reynolds, and participated with the division in the pursuit of John Morgan, going as far as Cave City. The division was then ordered to return and join the main army at Murfreesboro. This diversion after Morgan prevented the One Hundred and Fifth Ohio from being present at the battle of Stone River. The division reached Stone River January 11, 1863, marching through Bowling Green and Nashville. A permanent assignment was here made, making Hall's the Second and Reynold's the Fifth brigade, soon afterward the Fourth division of the Fourteenth corps. "The One Hundred and Fifth remained at Murfreesboro until June, frequently accompanying the brigade and division in reconnoissances. TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 141 On the 20th day of March the brigade was engaged at Milton, about fourteen miles from Murfreesboro, with John Morgan's command, and inflicted on that rebel chieftain a severe chastisement. This engagement had a most favorable effect upon the men of the One Hundred and Fifth, who fought at Perryville. They learned that by a judicious disposition of forces men may be able to stand their ground though largely outnumbered. When the enemy made his assault, which was bold and impetuous, it was met with a steadiness that hurled him back in the utmost confusion; and a second and a third attempt resulted in the same way. The engagement finally settled down into a spirited artillery duel, which lasted nearly the entire afternoon. "On June 24th the regiment broke camp to participate in the Tullahoma campaign. Colonel Hall and Lieutenant-colonel Tolles were both left at Murfreesboro sick, and Colonel Hall died there on the l0th of July. Lieutenant colonel Tolles obtained leave of absence and returned home to recruit his health. Colonel Robinson, of the Seventy-fifth Indiana succeeded to the command of the brigade, and Major Perkins to the command of the regiment. In common with the rest of the army, the One Hundred and Fifth shared the fatigues of the brief campaign which resulted in driving Bragg from his position at Tullahoma, and sending him across the Tennessee river. It lay encamped at University Mountain some time during the warmest weather. At this place Colonel King was assigned to the command of the brigade. "On August 30, 1863, the regiment crossed the Tennessee river at Shellmound and moved with the army to intercept Bragg and compel the evacuation of Chattanooga. Lookout Mountain was crossed September nth and r 2th. September loth and loth the regiment was engaged at Chickamauga. On Saturday it followed the fortunes of the day, meeting with no decided success or repulse, but did hard fighting. At two different times the regiment on its right gave way without apparent cause, and once, also, the regiment on its left fell back some distance, but the One Hundred and Fifth remained quiet and was complimented by the brigade commander, who was an officer of mature years and extensive experience. On Sunday, September loth, in consequence of General Wood's withdrawing his division, a gap was made in the line, which the enemy took advantage of. The troops of Brannan's division were flanked and fell into confusion. Reynold's division was posted next on the left of Brannan's. General Reynolds seeing that his flank would soon be exposed and wholly unprotected, ordered Major Perkins to change front with his regiment and charge the rebels on the flank as they advanced. The regiment was at this time in the second line of battle and was lying down. The danger was imminent, and the task anything but inviting. The rebels on the right were cheering each other on, and evidently thought to follow up their success by throwing our line into confusion. At the word of command the regiment sprang to its feet, executed the change of front with as much precision as though on parade, and started forward with deafening yells, on the double-quick to what seemed certain destruction. The suddenness of the movement, the thick growing underbrush which prevented the enemy from estimating the light force coming against them, the unevenness of the ground, which compelled the enemy to extend its front, all operated favorably. The desired object was accomplished and the first line of the enemy was thrown back upon the second, upon reaching which the One Hundred and Fifth opened fire in gallant style, keeping it up for several minutes. Major Perkins soon discovered that his left flank was exposed, and he was compelled to withdraw by the right flank in haste. However, the onset of the enemy was checked, and time given to General Reynolds to make such disposition as secured his right flank and prevented further disaster to the army. This prompt movement of the One Hundred and Fifth was highly commended by General Reynolds at the time, and afterwards by General Rosecrans. Its gallant commander, Major Perkins, was wounded in this charge and conveyed to the rear, and was rendered unfit for duty for nearly four months. The other casualties of the regiment were : E. A. Spaulding, captain, mortally wounded; 3 other officers seriously wounded, and 75 men killed, wounded and prisoners. Two of the largest companies were not in the engagement, so that in proportion to the number engaged the casualties were very heavy. " Chattanooga was reached September 23d, 142 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. and the regiment lay there with the army, doing heavy fatigue duty and living on short rations, until November 23d. Lieutenant-colonel Tolles had rejoined the regiment, from sick-leave. At this time General Grant arrived at Chattanooga, General Sherman's army had arrived from Memphis, and General Hooker's command lay at Lookout valley. On November 23d the old army of the Cumberland moved out of camp and took a position in front of the town. The One Hundred and Fifth took part in the maneuvering of the 23d and 24th, and on the 25th participated in the battle of Mission Ridge. Baird's division, to which it belonged, formed the extreme left of the army of the Cumberland. It occupied the second line, while advancing up the hill, but the first line on reaching the top deployed as skirmishers. The One Hundred and Fifth, on reaching the top, halted to re-form the line, which had become disordered by climbing the hill. As soon as formed, it moved forward, and was the first regiment in the division that moved forward in regular line of battle to the support of the troops of the first line, who were deployed. The other regiments came up promptly, and the entire division being massed in a small compass, it concentrated a heavy fire on that portion of the rebel army remaining on the ridge, which after a few volleys broke and ran down the other side of the ridge. The loss of the regiment in this engagment was comparatively slight. After having joined in the pursuit as far as Ringgold, Georgia, it returned to Chattanooga and went into camp. Major Perkins, who had been absent on account of disability, rejoined the regiment in January, 1864." William R. Tolles succeeded to the colonelcy after the death of Colonel Hall. He resigned in January, 1864, and was succeeded by George T. Perkins, who commanded the regiment until the close of the service. The One Hundred and Fifth participated in the Atlanta campaign under General Sherman. It performed an honorable part, although not thrown into the heaviest engagements. Colonel Perkins obtained leave of absence in September, and the regiment under Major Edwards joined in the pursuit of Hood as far as Galesville, whence it returned to Atlanta. The remaining months of the year were employed in tearing up railroads and on forced marches on various expeditions. Until the latter part of March the regiment was moving almost constantly. At Goldsboro the troops were reviewed by Generals Sherman and Schofield. The sight was imposing. Full twenty-five per cent. of the men were barefooted; they were ragged and dirty, many in citizens dress and some in rebel uniform. Having received clothing and other necessary supplies the army left Goldsboro April loth, and after four days' skirmishing with the rebel cavalry arrived at Raleigh. Before General Johnston had made any proposition for a cessation of hostilities a prompt pursuit was ordered, and on the morning of the 14th the Fourteenth corps took the advance toward Charlotte. It was halted at Cape Fear river and remained there until Johnston surrendered. The corps to which the One Hundred and Fifth belonged arrived in Richmond May 7, 1865. The several corps, exultant in victory, contended for the honor of reaching Richmond first. Some days as many as thirty-five miles were covered. Several deaths was the result of this intemperate haste. The regiment took part in the grand review at Washington May 24th, and was mustered out June 3, 1865. It reached Cleveland June 5th, and was paid off and discharged June 8th, having been in the service nearly three years. It was the first regiment organized under the call of August 4, 1862, and the first disbanded from Camp Cleveland in 1865. FIELD AND STAFF. Colonel Albert S.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIFTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.* Six companies of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth regiment were organized at Camp Cleveland during the months of October, November, and December, 1862, under the immediate supervision of Colonel Opdycke. Two companies enlisted for the Eighty-seventh Ohio infantry at Camp Mansfield, Ohio, as place of rendezvous, were transferred to the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth on the 6th day of December, and were mustered shortly afterwards. On the 27th of December the regiment was ordered to be ready to leave the State by the 1st day of January, 1863. It did not march, however, until the 3d, when with three days' rations in haversack the men waded through almost impassable mud to the Cleveland & Columbus depot and were then transported by railroad to Cincinnati. By order of Major-general Wright, requiring Colonel Opdycke to report with his command to Brigadier-general Boyle, the regiment took boat at Cincinnati on the 4th and arrived at Louisville, Kentucky, on the following day. They were ordered into camp at the southern outskirt of the city, where, crowded into tents without stoves and even without straw to lie on, they passed the remainder of the month. The weather was severe, snow at one time covering the ground to the depth of twenty-two inches. Yet the men were healthy and cheerful and the memory of "Camp Opdycke" (named in honor of the colonel) will ever be cherished as a happy epoch in their soldier history. While at Louisville the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was called on to do final honor to two of Kentucky's gallant sons by escorting to the grave the remains of Colonel Forman, of the Fifteenth, and Colonel Samuel McKee, of the Third Kentucky infantry. By order of Brigadier-general Boyle, January 2, 1863, the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was transferred to the command of Brigadier-general C. C. Gilbert, commanding division, and on the 1st day of February it started with the rest of the command by boat for Nashville, Tennessee, where it arrived without interruption on the 9th, and went into camp near the city. At 1:3o A. M. of the 12th the command took up the * Official record. line of march for Franklin, eighteen miles distant. The One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was placed in advance, and after a- sharp skirmish, in which it sustained no loss, the small force of rebel cavalry which was occupying the place fled and they took possession of the town. The rest of the division not crossing the river (Harpeth), Colonel Opdycke was placed in command of the post, which place he continued to occupy until the 15th of March. On the 9th and loth of March the regiment marched to Rutherford's creek, the rebels retiring as it advanced. It returned on the 11th and encamped near Franklin till the 2d of June, meantime taking part in a severe skirmish on the l0th of April, in which the enemy was repulsed with a loss of 25 killed and 40 to 60 wounded and prisoners. June 2d it marched to Triune, Tennessee. June 11th assisted in repulsing a sharp attack of the enemy, which lasted two hours; sustained no loss., By order of Major-general Granger, June 19, 1863, the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was ordered to report to the commander of the department at Murfreesboro. The regiment marched on the zest of June and was assigned by General Rosecrans to the Third brigade, First division, Twenty-first army corps. June 24th it took part in the general advance, which resulted in driving Bragg from Tullahoma, Manchester, and beyond the Tennessee river. During this march it rained almost incessantly, and the regiment suffered much on account of heavy roads and excessive labor until it went into camp at Hillsboro, Tennessee, on the 9th of July; remained at Hillsboro until August 16th, when a general advance was again ordered; crossed the mountains, and arrived at Thurman on the 20th ; went into camp until September 1st, and marched to Jasper on the the d, to Shell Mound on the 1st and 3d, and to Lookout Station on the 5th and 6th. By order of General Crittenden, September 7th, the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth, with the rest of Harker's brigade, was ordered up Lookout valley on a reconnoissance; returned at dark, having developed the enemy's batteries, and accomplished what was termed by General Wood one of the most dangerous expeditions of the war. On the 8th, ,9th, and loth it marched to Chattanooga, and to Gordon's mills on the 11th and 12th; remained at Gordon's mills until TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 147 the 18th, and was in the hottest of the battle of Chickamauga on the 19th and loth. It was in the battle on the loth of September, where it led in three successive charges which checked the advance of the enemy, broke his ranks, struck terror into his seemingly invincible columns, and saved the Army of the Cumberland from destruction, that General Wood applied to the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth regiment the name of "Ohio Tigers." The regiment went into the engagement with .11 officers and 298 men, of which it had r officer and 11 men killed, 2 officers and 71 seriously, and to slightly wounded. Several subsequently died of their wounds; others were maimed for life. On the 21st of September the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth retired with the rest of its brigade to Rossville, and during the night fell back to Chattanooga, where it arrived at 2 o'clock A. M., of the 2d, and went into camp. The work of fortifying the place commenced immediately, and was pursued vigorously night and day. Although the men were on less than one- third rations, subsisting part of the time almost entirely upon parched corn, they endured it without a murmur, and went cheerfully at their daily task until Chattanooga was encircled with Impregnable fortifications. They remained in camp at Chattanooga until the 23d of November, when a forward movement was again ordered. During that day and night the enemy's outposts were driven in, and the regiment intrenched one mile from the base of Mission Ridge. The One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was on picket the 24th, and on the 25th was engaged in the hottest of that memorable battle. In spite of the shower of shot and shell that rained upon it, the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth regiment was among the first to reach the summit of the ridge and charge the enemy from his breastworks, capturing 100 prisoners, 1 fine Whitworth gun, 1 wagon and mules, and a large quantity of small arms. Our loss in the engagement amounted to 3 killed, and 1 officer and 26 men wounded. The regiment pursued the enemy to Chickamauga creek on the night of the 25th, and returned to Chattanooga on the day following. All baggage arrived at Knoxville December 8th. After a rest of four days they marched to Blair's Cross-roads on the 12th and 13th, where they remained in bivouac, poorly clothed and worse fed, until the 15th of January, 1864- January 15th and 16th they marched to Dandridge, went on picket on the 17th, were attacked at 2 o'clock P. M. by a brigade of dismounted rebel cavalry, and skirmished sharply until dark. They repulsed the enemy, but lost during the day 7 officers and 5 men killed, and 12 men wounded. They retreated at night, and returned to Strawberry plains on the 18th and 19th, and to Knoxville on the l0th and 21st. They marched again on the 23d, and arrived at London, Tennessee, on the 25th of January, where they built winter quarters and spent the remainder of the winter comfortably. The spring was spent in East Tennessee until June, when the regiment was ordered to Louisiana, and thence to Texas, where it was mustered out September 25th. Returning to Ohio it was discharged at Camp Chase October 17th. FIELD AND STAFF.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIFTH REGIMENT, OHIO NATIONAL GUARD. The fear of northern raids and the inadequacy of the force left on guard duty along the border, the strength of the National army being employed in the interior of the Confederacy, induced the President to issue a call for one hundred days' volunteers. Ohio's quota was thirty thousand, which was soon filled, chiefly from the ranks of the Ohio National Guards. The Forty-fourth battalion, a Mahoning county organization, composed of four companies, was consolidated with the Ninety-second Ohio volunteer infantry, and formed the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth Ohio volunteer infantry. Company A, of the Forty- fourth battalion, became company B of the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth ; company B of the Forty-fourth was with the exception of its commandant, Captain F. 0. Arms, distributed among the companies of the Ninety-second ; company D of the Forty-fourth retained its letter, and company C became company G of the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth. A roster of companies B, D, and G will be found below. The One Hundred and Fifty-fifth was mustered into the service May 8, 1864, and on the following day started for New Creek, West Virginia. It was at once, upon arrival in the field, placed on garrison and escort duty at Martinsburg, where it remained until June l0th, at which time it left under orders for Washington city. Flom there it proceeded to White House, thence to Bermuda Hundred, and to City Point, where it remained till the 29th. The regiment was then placed on garrison duty in an entrenched camp near Norfolk, Virginia. On July 26th five hundred men of the One Hundred and Fifty- fifth, with other troops, marched to Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where the infantry was held in check while the cavalry raided the country, 150 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. securing horses, ,cotton, and tobacco. The expedition returned to Norfolk, where the regiment remained till August 19th, when it was ordered to Ohio for muster out. It arrived at Camp Dennison August 24th, and was discharged from the service August 27th. Its casualties were light, although the men suffered considerably from sickness. FIELD AND STAFF.

It was composed of seven companies of the Forty-first Ohio National guard from Trumbull county, and filled up from Portage, Geauga, and Lake counties. Rosters of companies A, B, C, D, G, H, and I, from Trumbull, will be found below. The regiment was organized and mustered into the service at Sandusky, Ohio, and was at once placed on guard and fatigue duty on Johnson's island. It soon became noted for proficiency in drill and the neatness of its camp. The One Hundred and Seventy-first regiment left Sandusky for Covington, Kentucky, on the 9th of June, and upon its arrival reported to General Hobson. Morgan and his guerilla followers were in the vicinity of Cynthiana. The railroad bridge across Kellar's creek had been destroyed, and a Northern raid was anticipated. Considerable anxiety was felt at Covington, and there was even fear for the safety of Cincinnati. The One Hundred and Seventy-first regiment was placed on board cars and ordered to proceed to Kellar's bridge, which was one mile from Cynthiana, and there await orders. Sentinels were placed on the cars and company officers charged to remain with their men. When the wrecked bridge which, was one mile from Cynthiana and sixty-five from Cincinnati, was reached, the regiment debarked, one company was sent out on sentinel duty and a " handful of men " detailed to serve as cavalrymen. The trains which had brought them were backed down the track and burned. Upon their arrival, the men of the One Hundred and Seventy-first regiment were supplied with ammunition, and then proceeded to eat their breakfast. We take from the Cincinnati Commercial the description of what followed : Suddenly their quiet was disturbed by the rattle of musketry at Cynthiana, telling that hot work was going on them between the One Hundred and Sixty-eighth Ohio and the rebel forces; and in a few minutes, to their great surprise, they ascertained that the fields around themselves were alive with rebel forces. A volley of musketry was poured in upon them by a squad of the enemy massed behind the fence of a clover field. From the first it was evident to General Hobson and Colonel Asper that their little force was completely surrounded, and from the disposition of the rebel troops it was evidently their design to conduct the fight in the bushwhacking style from the bush should our forces resist, which they probably did nor believe would be the case, as they evidently were two to their one in the first of the fight. Under these circumstances the regiment was divided into several squads, and sent to both east and west of the railroad, occupying such positions as they might secure. The rebels then appeared on every hand, displaying great activity in firing and considerable skill in keeping under cover from the fire of our troops. Throughout, the affair was as between sharpshooters, each man firing as he could obtain sight of one of the enemy. This continued about five hours, the loss on both sides being heavy. That of the rebels was much greater than our own, as much so, perhaps, proportionately, as their force was superior in numbers--we having 700 men, and they, with their reinforcements, 2,000. Against these odds the resistance made was desperate and determined. General Morgan who, when the fight here commenced, was at Cynthiana (the rebel force being in command of General Getty), had supposed the Union force would surrender immediately. He considered his great odds, the greenness of our forces, and wondered with impatience how it occurred that the fighting continued. He had expected an immediate surrender, and sincerely desired it, as he did not wish to lose any of his men. He certainly had not expected this desperate resistance. He was astounded when at 9 o'clock A. a carrier dashed up ro him at Cynthiana, and gave General Getty's message: " Re-inforcements, or give it up !" Several hundred troops were immediately sent down the pike, Morgan at their head, and with those the line was drawn still closer around the little band until General Hobson was forced to accept the flag of truce and Morgan's conditions of surrender, that the private property of the troops should be respected and that the officers should retain their side-arms. General Hobson, so all accounts agree in saying, had done all that could be done, himself displaying the greatest personal courage; and in thus surrendering, he decided for the best. After the surrender General Morgan directed that the officers should be allowed to retain their 152 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. horses, but a rebel colonel had taken a fancy to Lieutenant-colonel Harmon's horse, and being already in possession, insisted on keeping it, which he finally did, but gave Colonel Harmon another, though much inferior one. In this engagement the regiment lost 13 killed, and 54 wounded, 4 of whom subsequently died. It was not for prisoners that the rebel raider made this attack upon the Union forces, but rather to remove opposition to his northward progress. To detain his captives as prisoners was impracticable, consequently he planned to dispose, of them on the most advantageous terms. Morgan proposed to effect an exchange of prisoners, and with that view paroled General Hobson and staff, Colonel Asper, and Lieutenant- colonel Harmon, and Major Fowler, to go to the nearest point affording telegraph communication with General Burbridge (then commanding the district of Kentucky) under escort of three rebel officers. It was understood that if an exchange could not be effected they should return as soon as possible. Falmouth was reached June 12th, but before that time General Burbridge had pressed Morgan so closely that the latter was compelled to parole his prisoners, who made their way to Augusta, whence they were taken on boats to Covington and from there to Camp Dennison, Ohio. General Burbridge replied to General Hobson's communication concerning an exchange of prisoners, with an order to General Hobson and staff to report at Lexington, Kentucky, for duty, and also that his escort of rebel officers should be taken with him as prisoners of war; the other Ohio officers were ordered to Cincinnati. The One Hundred and Seventy-first was transferred from Camp Dennison to its old camp on Johnson's island, in Lake Erie, hut being paroled no duties were required till the War department declared the parole invalid, when the regiment was again equipped and placed on duty. It remained on Johnson's island till the expiration of its term of service, when it was mustered out August 2o, 1864. Reid says of the encounter with Morgan June 9th: The results of the fight at Kellar's Bridge was greater than they at first appear to be. Morgan had planned his raid into Kentucky for the purpose of obtaining recruits, horses, and money, intending at the same time to sweep down the Licking valley, to capture the small garrisons on the route in detail, and, if possible, to ride into Covington at Kellar's bridge. He was delayed twenty-four hours and General Burbridge was enabled to meet him. The citizens of Fal mouth, Kentucky, held a meeting and thanked General Hobson and the officers and men under him for the gallant manner in which they defended the valley from invasion; the citizens of Covington also thanked General Hobson, Colonel Asper, and the men in their command for the protection they had afforded the city. And the Cincinnati Gazette said: There is little doubt that the stubborn resistance of the One Hundred and Seventy-first saved Cincinnati from visitation. After the capture General Hobson, in a letter to Colonel Asper, expressed his entire satisfaction with the conduct of the One Hundred and Seventy-first, and General Heintzelman and Governor Brough both declared to Colonel Asper personally their gratification at the bravery and courage displayed by the regiment.

One company; C, is given below; immediately after muster, it received orders to move to Nashville, where it was placed on garrison duty. From Nashville it proceeded by way of Chattanooga to Bridgeport, Alabama, to guard an important bridge over the Tennessee river. It also guarded the track of the railroad, between Bridgeport and Chattanooga, a distance of about thirty miles. Detachments of the regiment frequently encountered bands of rebel guerrillas and squads of rebel cavalry. Several prisoners were taken at the expense of some casualties. From July 25th till the expiration of its term of service, the One Hundred and Eighty-fourth was on duty at Edgefield. It was mustered out of service September 20, 1865, and finally discharged at Camp Chase, Ohio, September 27th.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SIXTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. This regiment, of which two companies and part of a third were recruited in Trumbull and Mahoning counties, was mustered into the service under the last one-year call of President Lincoln, March 25, 1865. Like the One Hundred and Eighty-fourth, most of the officers and many of the men had seen service in other regiments. Its first service was in West Virginia, when it was assigned to the Ohio brigade at Winchester. While there it was thoroughly drilled and disciplined. In July the regiment was ordered to Baltimore and placed on garrison duty in the fortifications around the city. A detachment was detailed to Fort Delaware. The One Hundred and Ninety-sixth was mustered out of the service September 11, 1865, at Baltimore. The body of the regiment was composed of young men. It was especially complimented on its fine soldierly appearance. FIELD AND STAFF. Colonel Robert P. Kennedy. Lieutenant-colonel Eben S. Coe. Major Thomas C. Thoburn. Surgeon H. B. Noble.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SEVENTH REGIMENT, OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY, Companies A and K of the One Hundred and Ninety-seventh Ohio were partially recruited in Mahoning county. This was the last regiment organized in the State (eight companies of the One Hundred and Ninety-eighth were mustered in, but never organized). Company A was mustered in at Camp Chase March 28, 1865, and the regimental organization was completed April 12th. Nearly half of the men and all except five of its officers had previously been in the service. The regiment left Camp Chase April 25th, for Washington city, at which place it learned of the surrender of rebel General Johnston. It had no prospect of participating in active service. The time was spent in camp and garrison duty until July 31st, when it was mustered out of the service. TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 157 COMPANY A. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS.

One of the finest military organizations recruited in the summer of 1861 was the Second Ohio cavalry, Soon after the war had actually begun, Hon B. F. Wade, of Jefferson, and Hon. John Hutchins, of Warren, were commissioned by the War department to supervise the recruiting service in this part of the State. The enlistment rolls were filled with the names of men of wealth, intelligence, and culture. It is natural that that class of men should join the cavalry service rather than the infantry, for it involves more adventure and less monotonous labor. The last company of the Second Ohio volunteer cavalry was mustered in October so, 1861. From Camp Wade it went to Cleveland, where it was uniformed, mounted, and partly drilled. About December 1st it was ordered to Camp Dennison, where sabers were supplied, and, while orders were awaited from the War department, the practice in drill and arms continued. Early in January, 1862y the regiment proceeded under orders to Platte City, Missouri, by rail. A small detachment, under Lieutenant Nettleton, had served about two weeks in Kentucky while the regiment was stationed at Camp Dennison. The first duty of the Second cavalry in Missouri was to raid the State. On February 22d, while on the march through the border counties toward Fort Scott, Kansas, a scouting party encountered a detachment of rebels equal in number to themselves, under command of the infamous Quantrell. The fight which ensued lasted fifteen minutes, and resulted in the complete rout of the enemy with a loss of fourteen men. The Second lost one killed and three wounded. Sabers, navy pistols, and Austrian carbines constituted the arms of the regiment at that time. The months of March and April were mainly spent in breaking up guerrilla bands in the border counties of Missouri and in Kansas. The Western army concentrated at Fort Scott about the middle of May, and early in June marched south into Indian Territory. While the infantry halted at Spring river, the cavalry and artillery moved forward and drove the Indian rebel Sandwaitie from his camp at Baxter Springs, Indian Territory. Three regiments of Indians, mounted on ponies and armed with squirrel rifles, joined the army. These proved a great relief to the otherwise dreary monotony of the march. After participating in the attack and capture of Fort Gibson, the Second returned to Fort Scott, where it arrived and went into camp August 15th. Although little opportunity of meeting the enemy had been afforded, the Second had seriously suffered from sickness ; many had died on the march from a peculiar brain fever, caused by the heat. It was also found that only two hundred and fifty servicable horses were available to the regiment. Near the close of August the regiment shared in a forced march, occupying ten days and nights, in pursuit of a rebel band of raiders. About this time there was a pressing need for artillerymen, and one hundred and fifty men and two officers of the Second were detailed as a light battery and were soon after transferred and regularly organized as the Twenty-fifth Ohio battery, which will be noticed subsequently. The Second participated in the fall campaign under General Blunt and fought at Carthage, Newtonia, Cow Hill, Wolf Creek, White River, and Prairie Grove, Arkansas, at which place, December 3, 1862, a splendid victory was won. In September Captain August V. Kautz, of the Sixth United States cavalry, was made colonel of the Second, Colonel Charles Doubleday having been promoted to brigadier- general. Colonel Kautz'at once took measures to have the regiment transferred to the East, and in this he succeeded before the year closed. 158 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. January, February, and March were spent in Camp Chase, Ohio, where the regiment was refurnished and reorganized, the original twelve companies being consolidated into eight, and four new companies added. Early in April it left Camp Chase, and until June 27th, with the exception of occasional raids, was in camp at Somerset, Kentucky. During this time it engaged with the enemy twice at Steubenville, twice at Monticello, and once at Columbia, Kentucky. Colonel Kautz's brigade, of which the Second was a part, began a spirited pursuit of John Morgan, July 1st, and followed the great raider one thousand two hundred miles through three States, traveling five-sixths of the time and living for twenty-seven days wholly upon the gifts of the people. This celebrated chase resulted in the capture of Morgan at Buffington's Island. In recognition of the regiment's endurance and gallantry in this expedition it was highly complimented at Cincinnati by General Burnside. In August, 1864, the Second having reassembled moved with the army to East Tennessee. The brigade to which it belonged, commanded by Colonel Caster, met its first resistance at London Bridge, over the Tennessee river, but easily weighed down opposition. After the surrender of Cumberland Gap it marched to Knoxville and soon afterward joined the Army of the Cumberland under Rosecrans. The Second bore an honorable part in the battle of Blue Springs, and was with the mounted force which defeated the rebels at Blountsville and Bristol. It engaged the enemy's cavalry near Cumberland Gap and participated in the siege at Knoxville and the subsequent pursuit of the retreating force. On December 2d it engaged Longstreet's cavalry at Morristown and two days later fought eighteen regiments at Russellville, in which forty men were killed and wounded. For the next six days it was under almost constant fire. Until January 1st the regiment was fighting or marching with little rest. It was under these circumstances that when the rolls for veteran enlistment were presented, January 1st, four hundred and twenty out of four hundred and seventy volunteered to continue in the service. A veteran furlough was granted and the regiment, arrived at Camp Chase February 16th, when it disbanded for thirty days. One hundred and twenty recruits joined the regiment on reassembling at Cleveland March loth. On April 4th it was encamped on the Chesapeake, and on May 3d, having been reviewed by Lieutenant-general Grant, it reported to General Burnside at Warrenville Junction. During_ the terrible campaign of the Wilderness the Second was engaged almost constantly. On May 29th it was transferred to Shendan's famous cavalry corps, in General J. H. Wilson's brigade. It sustained the heaviest of the charge at Hanover Court House. It was actively employed along the Potomac until early in August, when it moved through Washington to the Shenandoah valley, where on August 17th was fought the battle of Winchester, in which the Second cavalry took a conspicuous part and sustained considerable loss. At Summit Point on the 19th, at Charlestown on the 2d, and at Harper's Ferry, the Second sustained its reputation for gallantry. On August 30th this regiment assisted in driving the enemy from Berryville, Virginia, and on September 13th captured one of rebel General Early's regiments in front of Winchester. The Second was engaged at Waynesboro, where it saved itself from capture by a gallant charge through the rebel column. During the subsequent march down the valley the regiment acted as rear guard. It performed hard work during the battle of Cedar Creek, and was subsequently constantly employed and frequently engaged with the enemy until going into winter quarters December 28th near Winchester. On February 27th the Second joined Sheridan's cavalry in the last raid of the war, and on March d assisted in the capture of Early's army near Waynesboro. Between March 27th and Lee's surrender the Second captured eighteen pieces of artillery, one hundred and eighty horses, seventy army wagons, nine hundred prisoners, and large quantities of small arms. After the surrender it was ordered to North Carolina, and from there to Washington to participate in the grand parade. In June the regiment was transferred to Missouri, where it served until mustered out September 1st. It was finally disbanded at Camp Chase, Ohio, September 11th, having served four years. It is estimated that the regiment marched an aggregate distance of twenty-seven thousand miles, and participated in ninety-seven engagements. It served in the Army of the Frontier, of the Missouri, of the Potomac, of the Ohio, and TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 159 of the Shenandoah. Few military organizations were composed of better material, few made a better record. FIELD AND STAFF. Colonel Charles Doubleday, resigned Tune 16, 1862. Colonel August V.

SIXTH OHIO VOLUNTEER CAVALRY. The second cavalry company recruited by Hon. B. F. Wade and John Hutchins was organized at Warren in October, 1861, and on being mustered into service was ranked as the Sixth Ohio cavalry. The camp, which was near the city, was named in honor of Hon. John Hutchins. During the months of October, November, and December the daily exercise in drill and arms was witnessed by scores of interested visitors, It was with considerable regret that in January, 1862, the order to move to Camp Chase was received. The regiment had been recruited on the Reserve, and nearly one-third of its membrs were residents of the county in which they were camping. The regiment was employed at Camp Chase guarding rebel prisoners until early in May, when complete equipments were furnished, and on the 13th the cars were boarded for Wheeling, West Virginia. It joined General Fremont at Strasburg, and started in pursuit of Jackson down the Shenandoah valley. Its first engagement was at Strasburg, and all the way down the valley it was skirmishing until Cross Keys was reached, where it was regularly engaged with the enemy June 7th. It was also engaged at Luray Court-house and Cedar Mountain. At this point the regiment came under command of General Pope, who contested with Jackson the passage of Rappahannock. For fourteen consecutive days it was under fire. After the second battle of Bull Run, August 29, 1862, the regiment was compelled to retire to camp at HalTs farm to rest the horses, exhausted by almost constant action. After driving the enemy from his position at Warrenton the Second joined Burnside in his advanced upon Fredericksburg. The winter of 1862-63 was spent in camp and guarding the Rappahannock. It joined Hooker's army in the spring, and m March vindicated, the standing of the National cavalry at Kelley's ford. In Lee's movement toward Maryland the Sixth was in several actions. At Aldie, June 17th, led by Colonel Steadman, the Sixth made the most gallant charge in the record of cavalry service. Following Lee into Maryland the Sixth cavalry participated in the battle of Gettysburg and made several important captures. During the retreat, Kilpatrick's brigade, to which it belonged, captured one thousand five hundred of the defeated enemy at Falling Waters. At Culpeoer Courthouse, Rapidan Station, Sulphur Springs, and Auburn Mills battles were fought. In the last Captain Rowe was mortally wounded, Captain Richart and Lieutenants Bingham and Miller seriously wounded, and thirteen men killed and wounded. When the army went into winter quarters at Warrenton, me Sixth ,was detailed to general guard and picket duty. This was an arduous task and required constant watchfulness, for dur- 162 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. ing the whole winter the wary guerilla Moseby and his chivalric band of freebooters harassed the camp. On January 1st about two hundred of the Sixth re-enlisted and were furloughed. Upon reorganization in the spring the companies were well filled with recruits, and the regiment entered the campaign with nearly its maximum number of men. It was made a part of Sheridan's famous cavalry. It participated in the battle of the Wilderness. At Owen's church, May 28th, Captain Northway was killed, whose gallantry was the pride of the regiment. At Cold Harbor, May 31st, Captain Loveland was wounded. June 6th the Sixth started on Sheridan's raid on Gordonsville, and was engaged at Trevillian Station, where Henry M. Baldwin was killed June 24th. The Sixth was active during the whole seige of Petersburg, and participated in several close contests, in one of which, at Hutchins' Run, October 27th, Captain E. S. Austin was killed. He was distinguished for coolness and perception in battle. It has been remarked that in all these movements there was one place which the Sixth was destined to fill—that of advance guard. Any point they failed to carry while in this position was not designated for any other regiment (either cavalry or infantry) to attack. The year 1864 did not end the service of this veteran regiment. In February it left camp, and the same bloody fields were again traversed. At Hutchins' run, Dinwiddie Court-house, and Five Forks it participated in spirited engagements. It led in the pursuit of Lee, fighting at Farmville and Sailor's creek. "At the battle of Appomattox Court-house, on April 9th, this regiment had the honor of opening the engagement, it having marched during the night to a position across the only road left for the retreat of the rebel army. Soon after daylight on that memororable morning an attack was made on our line, which had been fortified with a rail breastworks, and after a spirited resistance the regiment fell back only to show to pursuing rebels our strong line of infantry who had come up during the early morning. The attack was ended, a white flag was flying across the rebel front, and the work for which they had fought so long and so well was accomplished." The Sixth acted as General Grant's escort from Appomattox to Burksville station. After going to Petersburg it was ordered to North Carolina. Johnston having surrendered, it was divided into detachments and stationed in the District of Appomattox. In August, 1865, the regiment was ordered to Cleveland, and mustered out of the service.

The War department issued an order to Govanor Tod, in August, 1863, authorizing him to recuit for the United Stated service a regiment of cavalry. The regiment was intended particularly for the protection of the southern State border, "but," said the order, "the force will be liable to serve elsewhere should the public service demand it." It was necessary that the regiment should be in the field as soon as possible. All the offices were consequently tendered to persons already in the service. Lieutenant-colonel Robert W. Hatliff, of the Second Ohio volunteer cavalry, was commissioned colonel, which was a guarantee of the proficiency to be expected of the regiment. The first company was reported by Captain E. C. Moderwell October 2, 1863, at Camp Taylor. The bounty at that time was so small that there was no pecuniary inducement to enlist, so that the Twelfth cavalry, like the regiments of 1861 and 1862, was composed of men who went to war out of motives of real patriotism. This fact gave to the organization high merit as a body of men and efficiency upon the field. Squadron E was recruited mainly in Mahoning and Highland counties. The organized field and staff was as follows: Colonel Robert W. Ratliff, Lieutenant-colonel Robert H. Bently, of Richland county; Majors J. F. Herrick, of Cuyahoga, Mills J. Collier, of Akron, Erastus C. Moderwell, of Crawford; Surgeon George W. Brooke, of Mahoning; Assistant Surgeons Abram H. Hunt, of Wayne, and W. K. Hughes, of Mahoning county; Adjutant Frank H. Mason, of Trumbull county; Quartermaster William S. Wood, of Geneva ; Commissary Milton W. Parsons, of Hamilton county; Chaplain Thomas W. Roberts, of Trumbull county. Colonel Ratliff was already a tried officer, having served two years in the Second Ohio cavalry. Lieutenant-colonel Bently had served as an officer of the Thirty-second infantry. Major Herrick had been a captain in the Eighty-seventh Ohio, and Major Moderwell in the Eighty-sixth. Major Collier had served with Colonel Ratliff in the Second Ohio cavalry. Adjutant Frank H. Mason, of Niles, had entered the service as private and had attained to the rank of staff captain for valiant conduct on the field. The Twelfth cavalry, soon after its first regi- 166 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. mental parade, was ordered into service. It was a fortunate circumstance that so many of its officers were trained soldiers, for months would have been required to prepare a green cavalry regiment for the field. Six companies were sent to Sandusky bay, in November, to guard the prison stockade on Johnson's island, upon which an attack was threatened. The winter was spent by these six companies on guard duty, while the other six companies were drilling for field service. When, in March, the order came to report at Louisville, it was greeted with a cheer by men weary of camp life and the monotony of guard duty. The 30th of March found the regiment encamped on the plains in the rear of Louisville. Little of importance transpired until the latter part of May, when it became evident that John Morgan was making a northern raid and had already entered Kentucky. The first engagement with the rebels was at Mount Sterling, on June 9, 1864, when the Twelfth acted with great gallantry. Morgan was again overtaken at Cynthiana, Kentucky, and his forces scattered by the daring charge of the cavalrymen. On Sep- temper 20th, the enemy was again encountered at Saltville, and a half day's hard fighting followed, during which the Twelfth charged the enemy's works and drove him from his position. In the forty hours' fight at Marion which resulted in the defeat of rebel General Breckinridge by General Stoneman, the Twelfth cavalry performed a conspicuous part. One charge in particular was praised by the officers in command. The men bearing sabres, rushed upon the enemy's cavalry, achieving a complete victory. Saltville was captured in December, closing a successful raid, which resulted in the capture of four boats, one hundred and fifty miles of railroad, thirteen trains, lead mines, salt works, iron foundries, and a large quantity of stores. By February, 1865, the regiment was again thoroughly armed, equipped and mounted, ready for the service. Early in March it reached Nashville, and from there hastened to Knoxville and Murfreesboro. The spring and summer was employed chiefly in making raids and destroymg railroad communications through Virginia, the Carolinas, and 'Tennessee. It aided in the capture of Jefferson Davis, and overtook and captured, in Alabama, Generals Bragg and Wheeler. September 1st the regiment went into quarters at Pulaski, the several companies being engaged in enforcing law and order in the neighboring counties. In November the regiment rendezvoused at Nashville, and on the 14th was mustered out of the service. On arriving at Columbus, Ohio, the men were paid and discharged November 22 and 23, 1865, having been in active service two years. FIELD AND STAFF. Colonel Robert W.

As has been previously noted, this battery was formed of a detachment from the Second Ohio cavalry, which was transferred and permanently organized as a battery at Crane Creek, Missouri, February 17, 1863. It had been detached from the Second cavalry in August, 1862, while the regiment was at Fort Scott, Kansas. There was at that time a pressing need for artillerymen. Captain Job B. Stockton was given command, and General Blunt gave it the name of Third Kansas battery. The detail petitioned to be restored to the regiment but in this it failed, but upon reorganization as a permanent battery it was properly accredited to Ohio.

Hunt, John M. Stull, James Hoyt. The board of enrollment for the Nineteenth Congressional district, then comorising the counties of Ashtabula, Geauga, Trumbull, Mahoning and Portage, was organized under the conscription act of Congress at Warren, in May, 1863, by the appointment, by President Lincoln, through Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, of following officers : Darius Cadwell, of Ashtabula county, as provost marshal, with the rank and pay of captain of cavalry, having charge of enlistment, and as president of the board; Charles S. Field, of Geauga county, as commissioner of the board, having in charge the enrollment of all men subject to the provisions of the act, to supervise and direct the drafting of such u hen required under the calls of the President; and George W. Howe, of Trumbull county, surgeon, having the medical examination of all volun- 170 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. teers, drafted men, and all claiming exemption from the draft on account of physical disability. These two last-named officers had the rank and pay of lieutenants of cavalry, and all three were placed on the general staff of the president. Ambrose M. Robbins, of Niles, Trumbull county, was chief clerk in the captain's department; Edward C. Wade, of Jefferson, Ashtabula county, in that of the commissioners, and Mathews, of Trumbull county, in the surgeon's. John A. Hervey, also of Jefferson, was chief clerk in the quartermaster's department for the issuing of clothing, etc., to volunteers and drafted men. The business of the board required from six to thirty clerks. The provost marshal had to assist him one deputy in each of the counties of the district, and a detail of soldiers from the veteran invalid corps. No data can now be obtained short of the War department at Washington as to the number of men enlisted at this office or the number drafted. The commissioner had, in addition to his corps of clerks, an enrolling officer in each of the towns in the district, one hundred and five in number, bearing upon the roll of the district over seventeen thousand men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, as subject to military duty, and consequently to the draft. Warren was often full and running over with excited fathers or mothers, or both, looking anxiously for an enlisted son, or seeking to get one exempted from the draft, or to find a substitute for one already drafted. Many pathetic, many affecting, and many humorous scenes were enacted, but amid all the sorrow, amid all the suffering and all the excitement above, and controlling all other feelings, patriotism, pure and holy, held fast supremacy over all, and led to final victory. Under all the calls of the President for men, and during every draft, Warren, as did many of the townships of Trumbull county, displayed her patriotism by zeal and diligence, by hard work and liberal bounties procuring volunteers by enlistment, thereby saving the burden and, as it was then by some considered, the disgrace of being drafted. After the defeat and surrender of Lee's army, the board was, about the 1st of May, 1865, honorably discharged from the service of the United States, carrying with them a tribute. of which they may well be proud. The Secretary of War shortly before their discharge, in an official letter, says: " The board of enrollment of the Nineteenth Congressional district of Ohio, in its efficiency and in the prompt and able discharge of the onerous and delicate duties imposed by the law and general order, is excelled by none in the United States." At the conclusion of the war and after the board was dis charged the members returned to their several avocations. The provost marshal, Captain Cad- well, being a lawyer, resumed his profession, and is now, and has been for some years past, one of the common pleas judges of Cuyahoga county, having his residence in Cleveland. Commis. sioner Charles S. Field was a merchant, and remained in Warren, where he now resides, on Mahoning avenue, carrying on the business, on Main street, of clothing and gentlemen's furnishing goods. Surgeon George W. Howe resumed the practice of medicine on his return to his home in Bloomfield, where he now resides (a biographical sketch of his life will be found elsewhere). The township and city military committee, composed of Charles R. Hunt, James Hoyt, John M. Stull, Humphrey Horsh, Alonzo Truesdell, and others whose names do not now occur, were indefatigable in their efforts to raise money to procure and pay local bounties to volunteers and to them much of the honor belongs of procuring for the city and township exemption from the draft. Warren's quota was kept always full, with a surplus to their credit to apply on future calls of the President for more. No accurate account of the amount of money raised and expended for this purpose can now be obtained; but the best estimates, founded on the number of volunteers furnished and the sums paid each, increasing largely as the war continued, would aggregate at least $10,000, and with all this the patriotism of the people kept even pace. TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 171 GOVERNOR DAVID TOD. The most illustrious representative of the Mahoning valley in military affairs was Governor David Tod. Upon Governor William Dennison devolved the task of inaugurating war measures and of initiating their execution. To him is due. the credit of placing Ohio in the front rank of States that patriotically responded to the President's call for assistance in the first period of the Union's peril. But during the year 1861 no great battles were fought, in which Ohio troops were engaged; no distressing defeats had made the newspaper a daily messenger awaited in almost every loyal home with the most anxious solicitude. Knowing nothing of war, of the dangers of battle, of the heart-rending suffering of the hospital, or of the squalid distress of prison confinement, the anxious volunteers of 1861 went to tne field with buoyant cheers, as fast as the Government would accept their services. But there came a time, and that speedily, when enlistments were procured with more difficulty. It was the lot of Governor Tod's administration to rweet the first reaction of defeat, to recruit the depleted ranks of regiments in the field, and to raise new regiments after the State had contributed its bravest, most loyal, and most ardent citizens; and what was, perhaps, more difficult than either, to resist seditious political influences. In addition to all these embarrassing executive tasks, the State was in constant danger of invasion, requiring at all times watchfulness, and in frequent emergencies, prompt and vigorous action. Governor Tod was a man well fitted by temperament, talent, and training for the peculiarly difficult and responsible place he was called by the people of Ohio to fill. Judge George Tod, a sketch of whom will be found in this volume, was a man of marked ability and character, but did not possess the faculty of accumulating wealth. Mrs. Tod was a gentle, amiable, lovable woman who was always mentioned by her son in her mature years with the most reverent affection. It will appear, therefore, that David Tod had the good fortune of having been well born. He inherited character and ability, and had the example of a father and the precept of a mother to inspire a worthy ambition. David Tod was born in Youngstown township February 21, 1805. His early education was not extensive, being limited to a term or two at the academy. It was not the fashion at that time for every aspiring boy to go to college, but had he desired more preliminary training, pinching financial circumstances would probably have prevented the attainment of that end. He was admitted to the bar in 1827 and at once began practice at Warren. Though but twenty-two years old, his frank, dignified manner, and clear way of looking at things soon attracted attention and brought him clients. His .active practice covered a period of fifteen years, until after the death of his father in 1841. He gained the reputation of being a successful and skilful practitioner, and was a good lawyer though not particularly able. The secret of his success was an almost faultless judgment of men with whom he came in contact. His tact in the examination of witnesses was not surpassed, if it was equalled, by any of his colleagues. He always succeeded in placmg himself on friendly terms with the jury, and once having their confidence held it by a frank, direct, clear, and earnest statement of argument. He had the faculty of making the trial of cases interesting by throwing into them his own buoyancy of spirit and happy, quick wit. After the death of his father, Mr. Tod came into possession of the old Brier Hill farm near Youngstown. He had really owned it for some time before, having gained the title through a circumstance highly creditable to his generous character. It dates back to almost the beginning of his professional career, when he was yet a briefless barrister, and what was more embarrassing, was in debt for the means which gave him an academic and professional education. His father's creditors, after long and patient waiting, became importunate, and it became certain that unless assistance from some source intervened the old farm would be sold. The full-, affectionate-hearted young lawyer could not think of allowing his mother to be turned out of house and home without an effort, at least, to avert it. There were fortunately friends who had confidence in the young man's courage and honor and were affected by the beauty of his filial devotion. By their aid the debt was lifted and he became the owner of the farm, which remained the home of his aged parents. This farm thus 172 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. acquired became the source of great wealth, and the starting-point of a great and profitable industry which has made the valley one of the wealthiest in Ohio. This pr0perty is located about two miles above Youngstown, on the north side of the valley. It bore the name of Brier Hill while yet the home of Judge Tod, on account of the abundance of wild blackberries growing there. Coal had been mined in limited quantities for several years, but the local consumption was so light that the deposit was not deemed of any great value. But it remained for David Tod to find a market for the deposits, the great value of which he was acute enough to perceive. The canal had two years before opened direct transportation` to Cleveland. The open-burning character of Brier Hill coal had previously been noticed, which seemed to commend it for steamboat navigation. Two canal-boat loads were sent to Cleveland and engineers urged to accept it as an experiment. The offer was refused by some, but others, less cautious, were willing to test its efficiency, and were soon convinced of its great utility. Having opened a market Mr. Tod met a second difficulty which, however, the confidence inspired by pluck, determination, and keen business insight, enabled him to quickly overcome. Early personal debts, rather extravagant habits, and the relief of his parents by making a timely purchase of their farm, had consumed his income at the bar and left him without the means of taking advantage of the splendid opportunity he saw before him. Timely aid a second time came kindly to the rescue. The old friend of his father, Colonel William Rayen, and his uncle, James Ford, of Akron, promptly secured his 0bligations, which enabled him to proceed with the development of his plans. The Brier Hill coal mine was opened and another one adjoining it. The market expanded faster than mines could be developed, and in due time came the introduction of raw coal blast furnaces, making the almost exhaustless deposits still more valuable. Mr. Tod possessed great self-confidence and was always sanguine of success. He had the faculty, too, of making others share his confidence. During the early years of his business operations he was' once approached by Colonel Rayen, who said in a kindly way, "David, if you fail to meet the obligations upon which I am security, you will break me up." " Give yourself no trouble about that, Judge," replied Tod, and the old gentleman went away satisfied that he had no cause for solicitude. Soon after the Cleveland & Mahoning railroad enterprise was inaugurated by Warren capitalists, Mr. Tod became interested and was subsequently chosen to a directorship. His zealous labor and confidence in ultimate success were of material value td the embarrassed company. It was mainly through his influence that a loan was negotiated for the purchase of the first locomotives. In tracing Mr. Tod's professional and business career we have thus far omitted his political inclinations and honors. During his boyhood Andrew Jackson was the great popular hero. Young Tod, during the bitter campaign of 1824, not yet having reached his majority, fell in with the popular party of the day. The joy and patriotic pride with which Jackson's triumph at New Orleans thrilled the country, was among his earliest recollections of current history. Admiration of a great leader made his inherited love of politics more ardent, so that we are not surprised to find him early in his professional career an energetic partisan of the Democratic faith. He publicly avowed his convictions in the presidential campaign of 1828, and remained earnest, zealous, steadfast, until the secession movement in 1861. He belonged to the agreeable rather than the eloquent class of popular political orators. His speeches were direct, clear, and interesting. They were of the type generally described by the word "clever." In 1838 he was elected to the State Senate, running several hundred votes ahead of his ticket. During the campaign of 1840 he made speeches all over the State, leaving everywhere a good impression. Judge George Tod had served under General Harrison and entertained a warm friendship for his old comrades. He is said to have been somewhat grieved at the course his son chose to pursue. By 1844 Mr. Tod had attained such prominence in his party that he was the unanimous choice for Governor. His Whig opponent in that campaign was Mordecai Bartley, whose majority was only one thousand, while Clay carried the State a month later by six thousand. TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO - 173 In 1847 Mr. Tod was tendered by President Polk, and accepted, the office of minister to Brazil. During the five years of his residence in that country he negotiated several important commercial treaties, and treaties involving Government claims of over thirty' years standing. The farewell address of the Emperor was highly flattering to the minister. During the administration of Pierce and Buchanan he continued to do effective party service, but sought no office from either. Mr. Tod was first vice-president of the convention which met at Baltimore in 1860 to nominate a candidate for President. He was an enthusiastic Douglas man. It soon became evident in the convention that the Southern representatives had preconcerted a bolt, and with them was Caleb Cushing, chairman of the convention. The bolt began early in the proceedings, the hall became a scene of wild confusion, in the midst of which the chairman abandoned his post. Tod perceived the situation in an instant, hurried to the deserted chair, stamped firmly upon the platform, and appealed for order, which was restored and the convention proceeded with the business for which it had been called. Tod's conduct at this convention was warmly applauded by his party at the North. He entered zealously into the campaign which followed, giving Douglas his warm and unqualified support. He was one of the Northern Democrats who was opposed to allowing the South to frame the party's policy, and doubtless preferred the elec Lion of Lincoln to the success of the Breckinridge wing of his own party. When the result of the election was known and the secession movement started in the Southern States Mr. Tod was active in his endeavor to restore peace. He urged, both before the peace congress and after, that every honorable means to avert civil war ought to be brought to bear upon the rebellious section. But when all effort proved futile and traitors had inaugurated open treason Mr. Tod saw but one course for loyal men to pursue. The last echo of belligerent guns at Sumter had scarce died away until his voice was ringing clear warning of the Union's peril and arousing his patriotic neighbors to action. The first company of troops organized at Youngstown, a company of the Nineteenth Ohio volunteer infantry, was recruited largely at his expense, and before leaving for camp each received from him, as a present, an army overcoat, which were known in the service as "Tod coats," and some of them were brought home after four years' service. The movement which resulted in Tod's nomination to the Governorship started in Cleveland among men who esteemed country higher than party. They sought to break down former lines in the hope of uniting all loyal citizens, who believed in prosecuting the war, in one party. Tod was known as a conspicuous war Democrat, and the suggestion of his nomination by the Republicans was well received throughout the State. The convention was unanimous in its choice, and his majority in the State was about fifty-five thousand. The limits of a short sketch forbid anything like a review of Governor Tod's war administration. In every emergency he was found prompt. At all times courteous, but independent. He was always jealous, not only of the honor, but also of the care of Ohio troops in the field. On one occasion his request for tents and other equipments for Kentucky troops was delayed. The Governor' angrily telegraphed : "It is well I don't know whose fault it 1s, or I would whip the fellow if he were as strong as Sampson." Again he telegraphed : "For God's sake send our troops, in Kentucky, canteens." Such telegrams as the following had the effect of stiffening Ohio pride, though critics of our war management pronounced it indiscreet : The gallant people of Ohio are mortified to death over the rumored cowardice of Colonel Rodney Mason, of the Seventy- first Ohio, and in their behalf I demand that he have a fair but speedy trial; and should he be convicted of cowardice, that the extreme penaley of the law be inflicted upon him, for in that event we can not endure even his foul carcass upon our soil. These quotations from official dispatches show the character of the man. It was Governor Tod who proposed permitting soldiers in the field to vote, on the ground that there was no reason why a man should be disfranchised because he was brave enough to fight the battles of his country. He ordered several arrests of members of the anti-war party for seditious utterances, and is known to have countenanced the arrest of Vallandingham in 1863. This and other official and political conduct made him a special object of hatred in the Vallandingham element of the Democratic party. George E. Pugh said, at the 174 - TRUMBULL AND MAHONING COUNTIES, OHIO. convention which nominated Vallandingham for Governor': If we had an honest man for Governor my rights and liberties would have been preserved. That creature, who has licked the dust off the feet of the administration, is less than the dust in the balance. We have no Governor. We have a being, and he has the audacity eo say, and has said to my face, after this war is over he will come back into the Democratic party and put such men as Vallandingham and Olds to the wall. I told him if he would show his face in a Democraeic convention I would move to suspend all business until he was expelled. I can pardon an honest man who might have been misled, but the man who not only sold himself, but sold the birthright of Democracy, his crime is infamous. This bitter utterance, considering the time, place, and circumstances, must be looked upon as a compliment. While Governor Tod's administration was generally commended, he had made many enemies, as any man controlling hundreds of appointments necessarily will. In view of the fact that the State had the year before gone Democratic, and the peculiar appeal of Vallandingham for vindication, it was deemed advisable by Republican leaders to bring out a new man. John Brough was accordingly nominated, somewhat to the disappointment of the Governor, who, however, cordially and enthusiastically supported the nominee. After retiring from office, January, 1864, Governor 'Tod returned to his Brier Hill farm, and from that time until his death devoted his energies to business, continuing to retain at the same time an active interest in politics. He died suddenly November 13, 1868. The announcement was received with sorrow all over the State, and deepest regret among his old neighbors and life-long friends.
