At Gaysport, the clerk of the "Jenny Lind," who had stopped on the up trip, got aboard the "Malta." He went to the office to pay his passage, when the clerk informed him, "We do not charge you." After dinner, the captain said to the "Jenny Lind" clerk, "As you are now working for Graham & Co., I directed the clerk to charge you full fare." The clerk paid it. The captain was in a good humor, and he said, "We had trouble at the Zanesville lock with the `Jenny Lind.' We got the lock when our mate knocked your carpenter down with a club. Now I will be first at McConnelsville, and get Hyatt's tobacco, for he will ship on the first boat." The "Malta" landed at the village of Malta, and while the boat was loading some freight, the clerk of the "Jenny Lind" got into a skiff, and he was soon on the McConnelsville side of the river. He ran to Hyatt's office, and inquired if the tobacco was ready to ship. It was; the bills were made except the name of the boat and the rate; they were inserted for the "Jenny Lind." The warehouse doors were opened, and twenty-five hogsheads of tobacco were in a row rolling down to the steamboat landing. Captain Dexter came to Hyatt's office; he was excited. He said, "I'm glad you have the tobacco ready. Where are the bills?" "The clerk of the 'Jenny Lind' there has them." He looked at the shipping book, and when he saw the name, "Jenny Lind," he swore and left the office. The "Malta's" bell rang, and the boat started without the Hyatt tobacco, which had caused the fight at Zanesville lock. The "Jenny Lind" landed at the wharf before the "Malta" was in the channel of the river. There were twenty-five hogsheads of tobacco ready to load. The clerk handed the captain the bill of lading for the tobacco. The captain was surprised at the success of the clerk, saying "We beat them at last." The "Jenny Lind" blew a taunting "toot" as the "Malta" passed the landing. The fight at Zanesville made the carpenter of the "Jenny Lind" very angry on account of the "Malta's" mate using a club. He said, "I'll get even with the Muskingum bully when we get to Pittsburg." The mate of the " Malta " was an old bruiser from Meigs township. He was the terror of the people of his vicinity. One year after this event he had a fight, when drunk, with one of his friends who whipped him. This angered him and he shot his friend with a rifle, the ball lodging in his friend's hip. To escape being arrested he went to Virginia, lived a few years, then died. The carpenter of the " Jenny Lind" was a noted Pittsburg man, who had a large acquaintance among the rough element. This first night after the arrival of the boats at Pittsburg, the mate of the " Malta " was watched by the Pittsburg roughs, and as he was returning down the wharf to his boat, a shower of stones struck him and he was more bruised than he bruised the carpenter of the " Jenny Lind " at Zanesville. Capt. Charles Gallagher, commander of the " Jenny Lind," was an honorable, straightforward business man. He soon found out the opposition boat was paying a " bonus " to a warehouse for freight; then the amount was put on the bills of lading as charges. He opened a correspondence with the principal tobacco shippers in Noble and Washington counties, and before the warehouse men in Washington were aware their acts were discovered he had all the information of their guilt. The boat landed at a large warehouse with an order for a number of hogsheads of tobacco. The warehouse was locked. He went to the owner of the building who informed him that there was no freight for the "Jenny Lind" at his warehouse. A few unpleasant words were passed when the captain pulled out a package of letters from the owners of the totacco and he read them to the warehouse man and he also informed him there would be work for the grand jury, if his plan of shipping was not suspended. The warehouse was unlocked and all the freight in it was shipped on the " jenny Lind" and ever after no more freight was held for "boodle," but a sum had to be returned to the owners equal to the amount of the extra charges. The collectors were men above the average of politicians at that time, but the one at Marietta had some opinions of his own that did not suit the river men. He was averse to being disturbed at four o'clock in the morning to make out clearance papers for the boats coming from Pittsburg to Zanesville. One morning, when called on by a boat clerk, he said: "My office hours are from eight A. M., to seven P. M." He refused to give the clearance. The clerk made his report to the captain who ordered the deck hands to open the lock and the boat got her clearance at McConnelsville. The next trip the lock tender was ordered not to let a boat pass unless he was shown the clearance. The next trip a paper was folded in the shape of a clearance, the boat was permitted to go on its way and another clearance was obtained at McConnelsville. On the next trip out the cap- HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 101 tain accompained the clerk to the collector's office. The collector was indignant, and instead of making out the papers, he engaged in a quarrel with the captain, who requested the clerk to call George W. Manypenny, who was a member of the state board of public works. The collector was surprised at the appearance of Mr. Manypenny. The clearance was soon ready and there was no more trouble with the collector at Marietta. To the cabin passengers, meals, lodging, etc., were included in the charges for the trip. The table was always loaded with the best and and earliest articles of the season. The dinners on the packets were equal, if not superior, to those of the best hotels. Business men, when traveling, frequently boarded on the boats in port. The "Julia Dean" was one of the most popular packets during the season of 1851. There was a number of excursion parties of the young people of Zanesville to Pittsburg and Cincinnati. More pleasure can be had on an excursion on a fine steamboat than any other public conveyance. Jennie Lind, the famous Swedish singer, in charge of P. T. Barnum was making a tour of the principal cities of the United States, in the summer of 1851, and a grand concert was advertised to be held at Cincinnati. A party was made up at Zanesville for a trip to the Queen City on the "Julia Dean" to hear the famous singer and also enjoy the pleasure of a trip on the "Julia Dean." Atwood's band accompanied the party on the boat, playing at steamboat landings and at the towns on the route. There was a number of passengers, who went forthe fun and to enjoy a week's vacation. The previous winter, a menagerie had wintered at Zanesville, One of the zebras had died during that time, and it was skinned and the hide was prepared and stuffed by Mr. Elijah Ross. A Zanesville man was engaged to take the animal to Cincinnati and sell it to a prominent naturalist. The animal was placed on the boat, aft of the boiler, with its head toward the stern of the boat. But few of the passengers had seen it during the day, and only a chosen few knew there was a zebra on the boat, In the evening as twilight was passing away, a boy accompanied by the leader of the band came out of the cabin with a tin pan. Mr. Blank's curiosity was raised, and he inquired, "Where are you going with the pan?" The leader said, "To milk the zebra." Blank exclaimed, "To milk the zeberry! I did not know there was a zeberry on the boat." "Yes, there is, and we are going to milk it," said the leader. "I'll go too," said Blank. The party proceeded down the stairway to the deck and they passed along the guard until they came to the open space aft of the boilers, where it was quite dark. "Be careful," said the keeper "or some of you will get kicked. This animal is not to be trifled with." Blank was close to the animal, the keeper was patting the animal and saying, "Whoa! whoa! be careful," and when not observed he gave Blank a hard kick with his foot. Poor Blank thought surely the animal had kicked him, and he left for the cabin, claiming he would not risk his life to see a "zeberry" milked. The poor fellow soon found he was sold, and he had to treat his friends. After a pleasant passage the boat landed at the Cincinnati wharf. Many of the passengers remained on the boat, others went to the principal hotels. The sale of tickets took place in the evening for the concert. The unusual high price was more than some of the pocket books would permit and a few young men, accompanied by their best girls, did not want to hear Jenny Lind. A few compromised with their pocket books, and paid ten cents to hear P. T. Barnum lecture on Temperance in the afternoon the next day. The boat remained two days, giving the passengers an opportunity to visit many places of note, also a trip to Newport and Covington. When the time for departure came the load of happy pleasure seekers were on board the boat ready for the home trip. All had heard Jenny Lind sing. They had made the trip to hear the great singer; of course they heard her—such expressions were heard; yet the facts were only a few had paid the high price. This trip was one of the gayest made on a steamboat from Zanesville in 1851. The steamer " Empress," commanded by Capt. G. W. Cox, one of the owners of the boat, engaged in the fall trade between Zanesville and Pittsburg, and was the first boat out in the fall trade of 1851. The river was very low, hardly enough of water for a light draught boat in the shoal water on the sand bars between Wheeling and Pittsburg. After many difficulties the boat arrived at Pittsburg and there was plenty of freight for the down river and Zanesville trade. Shipping-houses were full of goods, the owners at distant places were writing "ship on the first boat," and there were only a few boats loading for any destination and none for Zanesville. The captain informed the shippers that he was not anxious for freight, as the river was very low, and it was nearly impossible for a boat without freight to pass over the shoals at many of the sandbars in the 102 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY. river. After remaining a few days, he agreed, if he could purchase a lighter, he would undertake a trip. He found a flatboat, and also a keel-boat for sale at a reasonable price, which he purchased. The keel-boat was covered so the freight would be protected; the flat boat was open, but on it goods were placed that rain and sun would not injure. Both boats were loaded down as low as the stage of water would permit. The steamboat had about forty tons of Muskingum river freight and a number of passengers. No freight was taken for any place above Wheeling. The price fixed upon was $1 per hundred to any destination on the trip. Cabin passengers were charged $12 to Marietta. These prices were the regular low water rates before the days of railroads. After working hard for seven days, the steamer and its two boats arrived at Marietta. The bottom of the river was too near the top of the water for rapid traveling. The chutes were passed by sending the keelboat in charge of the clerk and the flatboat in charge of another officer. Then the steamboat would try to pass, drawing more water than there was in the channel.. The steamer would often grind on the bottom of the river, and then it would stop. Spars would be placed on both sides and after hours of hard work the boat would be on its way to the next shoals. Sometimes not more than three miles were made in twenty-four hours. When the boat arrived at the mouth of the Muskingum river, the water was too low to float the empty steamer over the mitre sills of the lock. The keelboat was run into the lock and there loaded with the freight for up the Muskingum. One pilot, the clerk and twelve Irish deck hands undertook a trip to Zanesville on the keel-boat. After twelve hours' hard work the boat arrived at Lowell. In early days Cat's creek furnished many of the most robust keel-boatmen on the Muskingum. The pilot soon found a new crew of experienced men, then the first crew were paid and they returned to Marietta. In three days from Lowell, the boat arrived in Zanesville. This was the only boat of the kind that has come from Marietta, propelled by Cat's creek machinery since the completion of the locks in 1842. As soon as the goods were unloaded and the bills collected, the pilot and clerk started on the stage coach for Wheeling, where they met the "Empress." This was a profitable trip for the owners of the boat. After all expenses including the purchase price of the keel and flat-boats, there was a net cash balance of $1,700. The fall rains caused a good stage of water, boats were plenty for the trade and in ten days competition lowered freight and passenger rates from $1.00 to twenty-five cents on freight and from $12.00 to $3.00 on passengers. The "Empress" had very light machinery for the size of the boat, hence very slow time was made. Though the boat was very slow it made as many trips as the other boats—one trip to Pittsburg and Cincinnati from Zanesville every week. The men used to say the crew always had more money than the crew of the other boats, for they never had any time to spend any. Nothing unusual occurred until one night in November. A heavy storm was approaching from the west when the boat was passing down the Taylorsville canal. The pilot requested the captain to remain in the lock until the storm passed over, but the "old man" said, "Go ahead, we have no time to lose." On the west bank of the river at that time, there were a number of large trees with limbs hanging out far over the water. The boat left the lock in the midst of the storm, and before the pilot could manage the rudders a steamboat was crashing in the timber, the chimneys falling. the pilot house with a hot stove was overturned and the boat stopped by a large tree. "Fire! fire!" was 1ieard. The passengers in the cabin were alarmed. Some men who were excited were trying to pass a small water barrel half full of water through the scuttle hole to the deck. They were so much excited that they would first strike the cask on one side of the passage, then on the other, and in their confusion they were only adding fuel to the excitement. A young lady of Marietta, who was a student at the Putnam seminary, pushed the men aside, grasped the barrel and passed it with a number of gallons of water in it, up the passage, apparently without any effort. By this time the fire from the stove had caught the wood, and if it had not been for the success of the young lady in getting the water on deck, there would have been one steamboat less on the Muskingum river. The boat remained at the place in the timber until morning. The chimneys were flattened and broken in the fall, the pilot house was scattered on the deck, the pilot's wheel was turned on its side and it was as the old man said: "Here is a beautiful muss." About ten feet of the chimneys were enough straightened to stand, the pilot's wheel was put in place and the men called the boat "stumpy." It went to McConnellsville, the pilot standing at the wheel in full view often being covered with smoke. At McConnelsville temporary repairs were made so the wounded boat could go to Pittsburg where it was repaired. In December the weather suddenly turned HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 103 very cold. The boat unloaded its cargo of produce at Pittsburg and hurriedly took on a load for the Muskingum. There was a large lot of goods for the Christmas trade, and the merchants were very anxious to receive their articles for the holidays. By four o'clock in the afternoon the thermometer registered sixteen degrees below zero. Some of the officers tried to advise the captain not to start on the trip, but as he did at the Taylorsville lock, he ordered the lines loosened, the planks pulled in and the boat backed out from the landing, and soon it was going down the Ohio river, working its way amid floating ice. After worrying along about six miles the captain was convinced that it was no use trying to go any farther. The boat was again headed for Pittsburg, but it did not get there until the river was again clear of ice. At the foot of Bruno island the boat stopped, surrounded by ice. The temperature was now twenty degrees below zero. Here was a dilemma with only one horn, and that was to get the boat to the shore. A council was held and they decided nothing more could be done until the next morning. In the morning work was begun cutting the ice to make a channel to the Manchester side of the river. After hard work all day the boat was tied up at the Manchester shore. The river was again open in ten days, and boats were again in the trade, and only one trip was made until another blizzard made a visit and the boats were again frozen in the ice. This time the " Empress” had arrived at Pittsburg. All hands were paid and the boat was in winter quarters. The captain took boarding at the Monongahela house and " other small fry " found comfortable quarters on Fourth street at a boarding house kept by the mother of Mrs. Capt. James Boyd. The ice broke in February and there was hurrying to get ready for the trade. In a few days the Pittsburg wharf was thronged with busy men; boats were loading for nearly every town having direct trade with the city. Boxes, barrels and bales of merchandise, iron, nails and glass and the other articles, shipped from that port, were hauled to the "Empress." Two hundred and fifty tons of freight were soon loaded, then the old slow boat was ready for a rapid trip with the current to Marrietta. The " Empress " always made good time when floating with the strong current. The captain purchased corn, fresh beef, clover seed, in fact any kind of produce along the river that had a good margin at Pittsburg. Business during the spring trade was very brisk and the profits satisfactory. The destruction, November 12, 1852, of the "Buckeye Belle," a Zanesville packet, which commenced running in the trade many years ago, was the greatest disaster that ever occurred on the Muskingum river. Pius Padgitt, clerk of the water works board, is at present the only one in Zanesville who was blown up on the boat, and Capt. Calvin Stull, of Beverly, was the pilot on duty at that time. Mr. John T. Brown visited the high hill near the canal a few days after the disaster, and he was shown brick used in lining the boilers that were thrown to the top of the hill. The boat entered the lock at Beverly about half-past three o'clock in the afternoon, and on her way to Zanesville (being one of the regular packet mail boats from Zanesville to Marietta), she proceeded to Seeley's warehouse, just above the locks, where ,she was delayed nearly an hour in taking in wheat and freight. Then she proceeded up the canal, and when within about twenty feet of the guard gates, exploded with a terrible crash. It is said by eye-witnesses that the first shock and sight of the explosion were appalling and terrible beyond description, although at the moment its horrors were not half anticipated. All the flues and boilers collapsed and exploded, tearing everything into fragments as far back as the wheel-house, so much so, that it left the noble boat a heap of ruins, the hull sinking `to the bottom of the canal. Then followed a scene of horror and confusion, which beggars description. The canal and banks for some distance around were covered with the confused mass of the dead, dying and mutilated beings; fragments of the boat, cargo, mail, etc. From the village of Beverly, some 200 yards below, and, in fact, from all sections of the country, came running fathers, mothers, sisters, relatives, friends and strangers, to render all the aid within their power, and by whose aid many barely escaped an untimely grave. Every possible assistance was instantly rendered to the unfortunate sufferers. Out of the number on board, some forty-five, including passengers and crew, only about eight or ten escaped uninjured. The names of several of the killed and missing were not known. Killed—Franklin Hamrick, of Duncan Falls, tavern keeper; Henry Mitchell, deck hand, McConnelsville; John Barbour, Pittsburg, Pa.; William Stull, second clerk; ______ Butler, first steward, colored; Johnson, Roxberry; Wheeler, Portsmouth, Ohio; John West, Coal Run, Ohio; first clerk, Milton Whissere, McConnelsville, Ohio. Among the injured were: Hon. C. C. Coney. leg broken (he was a State senator; he died); 104 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY Capt. James Hahn; A. M. Dillon, Zanesville; Mate Sullivan, severely, arm since amputated; Pilot Calvin Stull, leg broken; ______ Daniels, engineer, severely wounded; David Munrey, engineer, slightly injured; Thomas F. Nevett, Zanesville, severely scalded and head injured; _____ Pool, New Orleans, badly scalded; Pius Padgitt, badly scalded; Selon Murrey, Beverly, severely injured. In all about twenty dead bodies were found and six or eight missing. A number of the injured were crippled for life. Twenty persons were killed instantly and six others died from injuries in the course of a few days, making a total of twenty-six killed. About forty recovered from their wounds. Two of the most seriously injured of the survivors were the late Thomas I. Nevitt and Pius Padgitt. The escape from instant death of Mr. Padgitt was almost miraculous. The' bodies of thirteen unknown persons were picked up and buried side by side in the cemetery at Beverly. In addition a large wooden box was filled with various sized fragments of human flesh and interred at the same time. In February, 1847, the steamer May Queen was purchased by Captain Kelley and others. The boat was loaded with flour for New Orleans. . When she arrived at Marietta, a stop was made by the boat for the night, at the lower end of Hall's wharf boat. Early the next morning passengers in their rooms in the cabin heard the cry, "Fire! fire! the boat is on fire!" Mr. John T. Brown and his wife were occupying a berth in the ladies' cabin. Mrs. Brown heard the cry and she informed her husband, who said, "Don't be alarmed." She quickly arose and dressed; their door was broken in and she was grabbed by a strong man and carried onto the wharf boat across two tiers of salt barrels. The boat by this time was ablaze, every one trying to save his baggage. Mr.; Brown came off the boat and then he thought of his purse containing near $200 in gold. The thought of his money caused him to return to his room, facing the danger of the fire. He got it barely in time to save himself. The boat was loaded down with flour, and to save that part of the cargo she was scuttled and sunk. By this time the stanchions which supported the cabin were burned, so the cabin fell over the side of the boat into the river, and when it was falling the large bell sounded one stroke. Captain Kelley, the owner of the boat, was on board. The fire was accidental and he at last recovered the full amount of the insurance on the boat. David Hahn and "Doc" Brown were the engineers on the boat at the time of the loss. John Brown had been the head engineer, but at this time he and his wife were passengers on the boat. In 1838 the locks at Dresden and Simm's creek were completed and navigation for small steamboats was opened to the entrance of the Ohio canal at Dresden. The shipment of flour to New York began by that route, as the improvement on the lower Muskingum kept navigation closed from 1837 to 1842. Warehouses were built on the river bank near Market street. Canal boats could be seen unloading merchandise brought from Cleveland, and then carried on their return trip- flour for New York. It was the major part of their cargoes with salt and other articles for distant markets. The canal boats were towed by small steamers from Zanesville to Dresden. The "Hope" was the first steamboat to ascend the Muskingum river above Zanesville. It was built by Richard Reeves, an enterprising man who was well known in this part of Ohio. At the April, 1892, meeting of the Muskingum County Pioneer and Historical Society there was quite an argument about the location where the "Hope" was built. Three different localities were claimed by different men. The preponderance of evidence was in favor of the locality now given by an old-time engineer, who was on the river for more than sixty years. He says: "The 'Hope' was built by Dickey Reeves about the year 1825 on the high bank below the present- canning factory. There was not a timber put in it as are now put in boats. The hull was made entirely of inch planks. There were four thicknesses of the plank crossing diagonally and at right angles. They made solid sides and a bottom for the boat. Four inches of good plank battened together gave great strength. When the hull was completed it was taken on rollers to near Blue's tan-yard where the bank was low and there it was launched. The 'tiller' was a long, crooked piece of a tree with a board on the end, resting like the tillers or steering oars on the flat boats. It had its rest at the stern of the boat, on deck, the water end passing over the wheel. The boat was a novelty, and if she were to be seen at this time she would be a curiosity. She made a trip to Dresden, then was taken to Pittsburg where a purchaser was found who took the 'Hope' to some small river in the south. William Parker, afterward called. 'Old Bill' Parker, went out carpenter on the Pittsburg trip." The Mary Ann, a remodeled canal boat, was one of the curiosities on the river. It was owned by Jacob Sperry, a prominent Main street merchant. A horse was taken along HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 105 with some of the early steamboats to assist at the riffles, especially Capt. Dickey Reeves' old gray horse became part of the machinery for propelling the craft. The owner of one of the first boats found fault with the captain because the horse was only given eight ears of corn when the captain took twelve roasting cars for his meal. The following are the names of the steamboats between Zanesville and Dresden, as given by three gentlemen who were engaged in that trade. They are given alphabetically: "Adriatic"—Captain David Pitman; "Brown Dick"—Captain James Darling; "Hope"—Capt. Dickey Reeves. Before the improvement of navigation. " Humming Bird," ______ ; "McIntire"-Capt. Billy Scales; "Muskingum"—Capt. Billy Scales; "Newman G. L."—Wm. Davis; "Relief" —Frank Cogswell; "Siren"—J. R. "Martin;" "Smith Perry"—Capt. J. R. Martin; "Shepherd C. F."—Capt. Tom Martin; "Tuscarawas"Capt. W. Scales; "Walhonding"—Capt. W. Scales; "Ohio"—Capt. Billy Scales. She was capsized at Simm's Creek lock. "Ohio"—Capt. Wm. Davis; "Zanesvi,lle"—this boat was formerly the "Relief," Captains Davis and Neff Thompson were commanders at different times; "The Zanesville Packet." There were a number of commanders on the boat. The "Dart," Captain Bryant, undertook to run opposition to the railroad, but after a short trial, he was satisfied. The railroad carried the passengers, and there was no more opposition by the "Dart." The majority of the boats in the Dresden trade were only used for towing boats to and from the Ohio canal. The commanders were very accommodating and they did many favors for their patrons. These were halcyon days for the enterprising young along the Ohio canal and the Muskingum river. The canal boats loaded flour at the mills as far down the river as Stockport. Even farmers owned canal boats, which did business during the summer on the canal. There was a large salt trade at the towns from Cleveland to Portsmouth. Many young men and boys who earned money by work on the canal boats, to pass through college, occupied high positions in the different professions, while the sons of the owners of some of the boats, too good to associate with a boy who worked, have changed positions; the working boy is now the employer and the aristocratic boy is now the menial. It is now in order to give a short account of steamboating from McConnelsville to Zanesville and Dresden. There was more freight carried on that part of the river when connection was made at Dresden with the Ohio canal than on the river in later years and at present. The trade on this part of the river required the services of a number of small steamboats. The most prominent were the "Tuscarawas," "Zanesville,' "Mink," "Mink No. 2," and the "Olivette." The "Tuscarawas" was the first regular packet from Dresden to McConnelsville, commanded by Capt. Cogswell, with Engineer William Davis. In 1852 Capt. William Davis built the "Zanesville," which for some time was a regular packet from Zanesville to McConnelsville. The "Mink," Capt. Morgan, was the successor of the "Zanesville" in 1871, Capt. C. C. Morgan, and in 1877, the "Mink No. 2" took its place in the trade. The "Olivette," Capt. E. Martin's favorite boat, was also in the McConnelsville trade, Capt. William Davis was born in Bedford county, Pa., December 14, 1817, and came to Zanesville, Ohio, in 1835. At the age of twenty years his career commenced on a steamboat and he filled during the time he was a steamboatman every position from deck hand on a Zanesville and Dresden packet to a commander. In 1838, he was registered second cook on the famous "Tuscarawas." He filled at different times the positions of cook, pilot, foreman and engineer on that boat. When the "Tuscarawas" became incapacitated with old age, he became the engineer of the "John McIntyre." By industry and frugality he saved money, and by the assistance of a friend he built the little "Ohio." This boat was Capt. Davis' first success in steamboating, and he made money. When the "Ohio" was no longer fit for service, he took an interest in the steamer "Zanesville," acting as captain, clerk, pilot or engineer when such service was needed. The "Freighter" was built by Capt. Davis, and she was a Zanesville, Pittsburg and Cincinnati packet. This boat was taken up the Mississippi river, where it was sold. Returning home, his next venture was an interest in the "Zanesville No 2." He was the commander, and he could fill any position on the boat. The "Zanesville No. 2" was a tri-weekly between Dresden and McConnelsville. This boat had a good trade. The "Mink No. 1" was built by three of the successful steamboat owners on the Muskingum, Captains Edward Martin, C. C. Morgan and William Davis. This boat was the regular packet between Zanesville and McConnellsville, making trips daily. For six years Capt. Davis commanded this boat, when his partner, Capt. C. C. Morgan, took charge. Capt. Davis was interested in the steamer, "J. H. Best" and the "Lizzie Cassell." In December, 106 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY. 1884, he retired. He was then commander of the "Cassell," and he sold his interest in the "Muskingum Packet Company" to Capts. Morgan and Martin. The captain was one of the two men who held government license for the office of captain, pilot and engineer. Capt. C. C. Morgan, one of the most popular steambOatmen and business men in the Muskingum valley, was born at Preston, Chenango county, N. Y., July 17, 1810. His parents were of Welsh descent, and they settled at Johnstown, Licking county, in 1825. At the age of fifteen years he was at work on the Ohio canal, excavating at Newark at £8 per month. In a letter to a. friend he wrote, " I am cold, wet and sleepy. My head aches so that I am almost insensible to everything around me. My clothes are worn, and I have no money to obtain more." The Ohio canal was the training school for many of our best young men, who in after years, had national reputation in scholarship, business and statesmanship. He worked on his father's farm, assisting his parents in keeping "the wolf from the door" for several years, training himself for the successful business career, which made the name of C. C. Morgan known 'as success wherever he was acquainted.. In 1836 he was employed in driving stage from Sunberry to Delaware, and the latter part of the year he was engaged on a canal boat. This was his first experience on the water, in which he afterward was so successful. Two years later he commanded a canal boat. His perseverance brought success for a time, but through the rascality of an associate in business, the result of patient industry and frugality was lost. After his loss he came to Zanesville and was emoloyed by Allen, Cadwallader & Co. His desire for information occupied his leisure hours perfecting his business education. Industry and strict attention to all the details of business soon made him a reputation which gave him prominence and promotion, and in a short time he was interested in two or three small boats in the Zanesville and Dresden trade. Capt. Morgan resided many years in Dresden. When the upper trade was abandoned, he became a resident of McConnelsville. Capts. Davis, Morgan. and Martin had the reputation of being honest men, whose words were equal to any person's bond. Many of their old hands are yet living and the reverence they have for the dead captains and the living one is evidence of the worth of the owners and managers of the boats engaged in the trade between Zanesville and McConnelsville. Capt. Cal. Smith, the pilot; Bart Roney, the clerk; Ben Ramsey, the mate; George Cobb, the engineer; John Humphrey, the fireman; and Aunt Eliza, the famous stewardess of the boat were known for years as fixtures on Capt. Morgan's boats. CHAPTER VIII MEDICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETIES, ETC. GENERATION after generation of pioneers have gradually carried the star of empire westward, until it would seem as if the work of the pioneer was nearly done. As these hardy and adventurous men and women have gradually opened up the new world to civilization, they have been closely followed or accompanied by members of the medical profession. These physicians have shared the hardships and privations of the early settlers, joined in their joys and sorrows, helped them to build their rude homes and to defend them against the natives of the forest. As a class, no order of men have done more to promote the good of mankind and develop the resources and natural history of our country than physicians, and wherever the well-educated in that profession are found they are uniformly seen on the side of order, morality, science and religion. It is impossible for us to fully appreciate the primitive manner in which these men practiced medicine. They had to be, in a degree, pharmacists and practical botanists. Roots and herbs were an important part of their armamentarium. Infusions and decoctions were HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 107 the order of the day. The sugar-coated pill was then unknown. In fact the life of the modern physician is sugar-coated when compared with that of the pioneers. These men were obliged to be fertile in resources, apt in expedients, and ingenious in improvising. Compare, if you can, the log-cabin office of one hundred years ago with the physician's office of to-day. Think of the progress made in medical science since the days of these men. Chloroform, cocaine, the hypodermic syringe, the fever thermometer, and hundreds of other things were unknown to them. Notwithstanding all the new ideas and inventions the rate of mortality, from the ordinary aches and ills of life, was about the same then as now. In looking over the lives of these men we find general characteristics that are worthy of thought. They were interested and active in educational and religious matters. They were energetic and progressive beyond their times. They took an active part in politics and questions of state. If they were alive now they would probably let politics alone. They were brave men, for on their lonely travels in the earlier years, they had to face the treachery of the Indian and the hunger of wolves. The more the lives of these men are held up to view the more sterling qualities we find in them to admire. Dr. Increase Mathews was born in New Braintree, Mass., December 22, 1772. He was the son of Gen. Rufus Putnam's older sister, Hulda, and Daniel Mathews. John Mathews, who came out to Ohio with the original forty-eight, was a brother. In 1798 Dr. Mathews came to Marietta on a prospecting tour and to visit relatives. His diary of this journey is in the possession of his descendants, and is a very interesting document. Under date of August 13, 1798, 1 P. M. is found the following note: "Went with Mr. Edward Tupper to call on Mr. Blennerhasset and his lady, by whom we were politely received. Met Miss Sallie Loudon, there on a visit. She is on the whole an amiable girl and possessed of many of those qualities which make a good companion, kind, obliging, ever in good spirits and free from affectation." The young Doctor seems to have been impressed, and human nature seems to have been the same then as now. Under date of August 31, 1798, is the following: "Attended a ball at Col. Putnam's in Belpre. We had a large collection of ladies, some from Marietta and the Island, who made a brilliant appearance. Spent the evening very agreeably." The ladies from the Island were no doubt Mrs. Blennerhasset and her guest, Miss Loudon. After a pleasant visit, Dr. Mathews went back East, and married (April 25, 1799) Abigail Willis, of Oakham, Mass. In the fall of 1800, with his wife and baby, he again came to Marietta, arriving there October 4. The winter was spent in Marietta, and the other half Of the house in which they lived was occupied by the father of the late Gov. Brough. In the spring of 1801 the Mathews family moved to Zanesville, Ohio. This same year Gen. Rufus Putnam, his nephew, Dr. Mathews, and Levi Whipple purchased the land now composing the Seventh and Ninth wards in that city, and laid it out into a town, which they called Springfield, afterward Putnam. Dr. Mathews, after about one years' stay in Zanesville, moved across the river to the newly laid out town, and lived there the remainder of his life. He was the first physician to permanently settle on the Muskingum, river above Marietta. In 1802 ( June 14) the Doctor's wife died, and in 1803 ( March 23) he married for his second wife, Betsey, daughter of Capt. John Leavems. They were married in Marietta, at Maj. Lincoln's, who had married Betsy's sister, Fanny. Possessing large landed interests, and having a taste for agriculture, Dr. Mathews retired from practice, as other physicians settled around him. He was a man of many accomplishments, with more than the usual amount of energy and push, so characteristic of the pioneers. He established the first drug store, and was one of the five original members of the first church organized in Muskingum county. Dr. Mathews sent to Spain for the first full-blooded Merino sheep brought to Ohio. These sheep were delivered in Washington, D. C., and hauled in a wagon through to Putnam by a man sent to Washington for that purpose. In 1801, when Dr. Mathews went to Marietta to buy the land above mentioned, he had part of the way as his companion, John McIntire. These young men rode together, camped together the night out on the road, but neither mentioned his business. When they they arrived at Marietta, Dr. Mathews turned up Washington street to go to his uncle's (Gen. Putnam's) office, whilst John McIntire went on to the tavern. The next day the two men found themselves bidding against each other for the same tract of land. John McIntire already owned a large tract where Zanesville proper now stands, but Dr. Mathews bid on the tract in question at $4.05 an acre. Many years after it became blended with McIntire's tract, in the City of Natural Advantages. The Doctor enjoyed telling his grandchildren that the earliest distinct recollection of his childhood was the ringing of the bells to celebrate the Declaration 108 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY. of Independence. He was a cultivated gentleman of the old school, and a man whose energy and character were felt in his day, and are still exemplified in his descendants. He was an accomplished performer on the violoncello, and an entertaining and instructive conversationalist. His life was characterized by its simplicity and purity. He died June 6, 1856, full of years and with the high esteem of all his fellow townsmen, in the eighty-fourth year of his age, and is buried in Woodlawn cemetery, which was part of his original purchase from the government in 1801. In 1796, Dr. Jenner's great discovery of vaccination was announced to the medical world. When small-pox broke out in the Putnam in the fall of 1809, Dr. Matthews procured vaccine virus and vaccinated himself and family. People in general had no confidence in vaccination, and would not consent to it. In order to prove its efficacy Dr. Matthews took his two little daughters, Abigail and Sarah aged six and seven years, who had been vaccinated, into a house and up to the bedside of a patient very ill with virulent small pox. The children did not take the disease, and the doctor triumphantly proclaimed the protecting powers of vaccination. The rest of the villagers were inoculated but Dr. Matthews' family was the only one that depended upon vaccination. So far as can be learned the doctor's family was among the first, if not the first in Ohio, to be vaccinated. Dr. Richard Hillier came to Zanesville (then Zanestown), in the spring of 1805, and entered upon his professional career here. Four years later he removed to " Beech Bottom," fifteen miles from Mount Vernon, Ohio, and there died in 1815. Before coming to Zanesville he had been a surgeon in the English army. Dr. Daniel Bliss, son of Deacon Isaac Bliss, was born in Warren, Mass., April 10, 1761. He was educated in medicine in Springfield, Mass., and June 6, 1789, married Prudence, a sister of Dr. Jesse Chandler. They came out to Ohio in 1804, with (or about the same time) as Dr. Chandler. Dr. Bliss settled in Waterford (on the side of the river where Beverly now stands), but continued sickness led him to seek another location, and he removed to Chandler's Salt Works (now Chandlersville), a place twelve miles east of Zanesville. Settling on a farm, the doctor intended retiring from practice, but there being no other physician in that section, the inhabitants kept him busy. For over twenty years he was the first and only physician in the settlement and his practice extended into what are now Guernsey, Noble and Morgan counties. The doctor kept his farm well stocked with good horses. He always rode horseback and traveled fast. It was a good horse and rider that could keep up with him on his rounds. As a physician, Dr. Bliss was successful and popular. He was a man of strong opinions, and fearless in expressing them. He dared to do right, and take the consequences. In religious belief he was a Congregationalist. Dr. Bliss died March 17, 1842, aged eighty-one years. At a ripe age he surrendered to the great reaper, and with a heavy credit on the Lamb's book of life he went to his reward. Dr. Robert Mitchell was born in Westmoreland county, Penn., in 1778. He studied medicine there, and in 1808 married Catharine McCulloch. For a wedding trip the young couple came to Zanesville, Ohio, on horseback. When they settled in that place there were but twelve shingle roofed houses in it. The Indians were still there, but friendly, and used to come to the doctor's house to see the white papooses. Dr. Mitchell served in the war of 1812, and was afterward a general in the Ohio militia. In 1833 he was elected to congress, but in 1835 was defeated for re-election by his Whig opponent. It is said that the rejoicing of the Whigs over their success, caused more drunkenness in Zanesville, than ever was known there in one night. Dr. Mitchell died November 13, 1848. Dr. Jessie Chandler was the second physician to settle in Putnam. He was born in Vermont in 1764, and studied medicine in his native state. After practicing a few years, he came with his family to Ohio and located in the village of Putnam, across the river from Zanesville and now, as stated, a part of that city. At that time there was but little difference in the population of the two rival villages, both being quite small. But in the year 1804 Zanesville was made the permanent county seat, with a fair prospecf of being made the State capital, and took the lead. In order to look after his land, Dr. Mathews gladly relinquished his practice, upon the arrival of Dr. Chandler. No other physician settled in Putnam while Dr. Chandler lived. His practice. like Dr. Mathews', extended over all the western part of the county, and into the adjoining counties. Traveling, was of course, done on horseback, and in the earlier years without roads. Trails, or bridle paths, led from house to house, or from neighborhood to neighborhood. Dr. Chandler spent a large part of his time in the saddle, but pos- HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 109 sessing an unusually robust constitution, he was always ready to respond to calls. The fees in those days were very much out of proportion to the time and labor expended. There being no pharmacists, every physician furnished his own medicines. The Doctor's books were a. curiosity. He would often ride a dozen miles, furnish the medicine needed, and charge one dollar. Visits in the village were fifty cents. When many of his people came to settle, the credit side would read, by so much corn, or oats, or potatoes, or cash, as the case might be, and by discount for the balance. Frequently the "by discount" was the larger part of the credit. Doctor Chandler did not become wealthy. In the fall of 1809 a bad case of small-pox developed in the town. As might be expected, there was a scare. Vaccination was not yet relied upon, and the Doctor had not seen it sufficiently tried to be entirely satisfied with its protecting qualities. Some of the older people had been inoculated with small-pox, but the children, and many of the adults, had no protection. So all were made ready by the prescribed dieting, and a general inoculation took place. The inoculated cases all got along nicely, no deaths and no disfigurements. There were in the town a dozen or more transient persons, mostly young men, without friends. The doctor turned his house into a hospital, took these young men in, "without money or price," and carried them safely through. In the winter of 1813-14 a heretofore unknown epidemic broke out in Putnam,. which, for the want of a better name, was called "the cold plague." The attack came on with a congestive chill, unconsciousness soon followed, and death resulted in two or three days. Some recovered, but among the victims was Dr. Jessie Chandler. A true, self-sacrificing physician and man, he was ready for the summons and faced death as he had disease, without a tremor. His age was fifty years. Dr. John Hamm was born and educated in Delaware, read medicine with Dr. Rush, of Philadelphia, and graduated there. In 1808, he located at Chillicothe and there, on the 4th of July, 1809, was "orator of the day." Not long afterward he came to Zanesville. He married Eliza VanHorn, General VanHorn's fourth daughter. In 1812 he was presidential elector and a member of the legislature. The next year he became surgeon of the 27th United States infantry and succeeded General Cass in the responsible and dangerous office of marshal of Ohio. He was state senator in 1827 and again in 1829. In 1830 President Jackson appointed him charge d'affairs to the Chilian republic and he concluded the first treaty between the United States and Chile He died in Zanesville, May 22, 1861, aged 84 years. His widow died seven years later. Of their eight children, one became the wife of W. A.. Graham one married Peter Block, and another Alexander Van Hamm. Another daughter died in girlhood. The eldest son, Washington Van Hamm, died in Chicago, in 1872. Dr. Dudley W. Rhodes came to Zanesville in the summer of 18—. He was born in Stonington Conn., and studied his profession in Hadford. He was for a time an army surgeon, but preferring private practice relinquished that office. He died in Zanesville in October, 1840. Dr. J. Fowler was practicing his profession in Putman in 1814, Dr. Moore 1816. Doctors John J. Brice, Ebenezer Atwater, Calvin Conant, G. B. Maxfield and Samuel Moulton were practicing in the county in 1817. Dr. Isaac Spangler, who had had Dr. Hamm as a preceptor, was associated with Dr. Mitchell in 1822, and during that year the following were admitted to practice medicine under the state law: William Clark, E. S. Phelps, Adam Gage, Benjamin Wait, Nathaniel Wait, Noah Harris, Robert Moore, David Pardy, Sylvanus Seely, Timothy Burr, and Elmas Wheaton. The following, physicians were well known in this and near by counties in 1824. John Hamm, John B. Brice, Thomas Flanner, Robert Mitchell, Dudley W. Rhodes, Calvin Conant, Robert Safford, William S. Richards, Elisha G. Lee, Alfred C. Thompson, Elmas Wheaton, Benjamin Webb, William Clarke, Francis Fowler, Samuel Baldridge, Harry Fassett, Sylvester Spellman, Samuel Martin, Samuel A. Baker, John Baldridge, David McGary, James Kell, Issac Spangler, Jesse Morris, David A. Bines, John B. Cooley and Nathan Webb. Percival H. Parden and Joel S. Thrall, were licensed to practice medicine here in the years from 1824 to 1825. Dr. Charles Cook Hildreth was born at Marietta, Ohio, April 28, 1811, and died at Zanesville, August 11, 1889. His father was Doctor Samuel Prescott Hildreth, a native of Massachusetts, and his mother was Rhoda Cook Hildreth. Educated in part at Marietta, his collegiate course was completed at Ohio University, Athens. Graduating in 1828 or 1829, he was made an A. B. and. A. M. by that college and in March, 1833, he graduated at the Medical College of Ohio as M. D., and soon settled at Zanesville, and then continued actively engaged in his profession until he was disabled by paralysis fifty-six years later. He 110 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY. was married to Miss Sarah A. Swearengen, March, 23, 1836. During all his professional career, Dr. Hildreth enjoyed a large practice, for he was an able surgeon and obstetrician as well as a skillful physician. He was a member of the old Medical Society of Zanesville in 1835 or 1836, a member of the late Muskingum, County Medical Society, a member of the late Zanesville Academy of Medicine, a member of the Zanesville Medical Society, and of the Muskingum Valley Medical Society, and he had a membership also in the Ohio State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. He contributed frequent and valuable papers. to the medical journals of Ohio and other states. He was a believer in the future of Muskingum county, and invested his means mainly here in real estate and corporate companies. The following named physicians were here in 1843: R. Stafford, J. B. Erwin, Charles Dickinson, David Pierce, John M Green, E. Dillon, James Little, Lyman Little, David Ferbrache, Robert Mitchell, Thomas J. Redgrove, Thomas J. Hazlett, J. H. McCall, I. N.

Under an act passed February 26, 1824, entitled "An Act, to Incorporate Medical Societies for the Purpose of Regulating the Practice of Physic and Surgery in the State of Ohio," a considerable number of physicians from the Fifteenth Medical District, then composed of the counties of Muskingum, Morgan, Coshocton, Guernsey, Licking and Knox, assembled at the court house in Zanesville, May 25, 1824, and organized themselves into a medical society. This society existed until December 12, 1842, when the Muskingum County Medical Society was formed by the physicians of the county of Muskingum at a meeting held at the Eagle hotel in Zanesville. In 1874 the society was merged into the Zanesville Academy of Medicine, incorporated in 1875 and re-incorporated in 1878 and succeeded in 1883 by the Zanesville medical society. The last named institution is officered as follows: J'. S. Haldeman, president; J. T. Davis, treasurer; J. C. Crossland, secretary. Probably the first castor oil mill, established west of the Allegheny mountains, was built at Dresden by Drs. Nathan Webb, senior and junior. They came to the, shores of the Wakatomaka in 1821 and cultivated the castor oil bean. Their mill was located on the "Little Prairie." Two lodges of Shawanees Indians were still there and interested spectators of this symptom of civilization. The doctors were not learned in their profession, but were the pioneer physicians of Dresden, and evidently had confidence in castor oil. Following is a copy of the articles of incorporation of the Pioneer and Historical Society of Muskingum County: "These articles of incorporation of the Pioneer and Historical Society of Muskingum County Witnesseth: That we, the undersigned, all of whom are citizens of the State of Ohio, der siring to form a corporation not for profit, under the general incorporation laws of said state, do hereby certify: FIRST.

A feature is the reading of pioneer reminiscences and papers possessing local historical interest, and some of them which have been preserved have been of much aid in the compilation of which' this forms a part.   Probably the most important work of the society thus far has been its co-operation with the publishers of this book in its preparation and introduction to the citizens of the county. At a meeting held January 19, 1891, a committee was appointed to confer with a representative of the Goodspeed Publishing Company of Chicago, relative to the compilation by that   116 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.   company of a history of Muskingum county. Following is a copy of the action of the board of trustees, adopted at their monthly meeting, February 3, 1891, after said conference, as certified by Secretary Palmer: "WHEREAS, The Goodspeed Publishing Company of Chicago, Illinois, having signified to this board its intention, should proper encouragement be extended, to prepare and publish an accurate, complete and reliable history of Muskingum county, from the earliest settlement therein to the present time, and to best accomplish this purpose, proposes to submit, before being printed, the several chapters which may make up such history to a committee of one or more citizens of this county, to be selected by this board, for the purpose of revision, correction, elimination, approval or rejection; therefore, "Resolved, That the proposition of said publishing company, as above, meets the favor of this board, and that this board recommends the subject matter of the preparation and publication of said history, compiled in the manner proposed, to the favorable consideration of the citizens of Muskingum county." This was adopted on motion, and it was ordered that a certified copy be forwarded to the Goodspeed Publishing Company, March 18, 1891. Judge M. M. Granger, D. B. Linn and Rev. F. Richards were appointed a committee "to revise and supervise the several chapters of the proposed history of Muskingum county." April 7, 1892, Mr. Linn resigned from the committee, and R. J. J. Harkins was appointed in his stead. These pages attest the fidelity with which the Goodspeed Publishing Company has kept faith with the society, and the ability with which the several members of the committee have performed their duties as ̊ guardians of the mutual interests of the Goodspeed Publishing Company and the public of Muskingum County.   CHAPTER IX   MILITARY HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.   ONE of the great problems yet unsolved is that, in the Divine economy, it was found necessary for human progress and development in this world, that war should prevail and become popular. From the earliest period known to history, down to our own time, war seems to have been the means, not only of settling difficulties between communities, tribes and nations, but the means by which states and nations have been established, and by which they have grown in intelligence and refinement.   And if we may credit the Scriptures, God not only. anctioned war, but took a direct part in it. The verdict of history is that through the bloody carnage of war, through its untold sufferings and miseries, the cause of liberty has been promoted and civilization has been advanced. By war this great Nation came into existence, founded upon the principles of freedom and human liberty, and by war it threw off that deadly incubus—slavery--which marred its bright escutcheon, and made freedom exultant throughout the world. Whether war will continue to be the potent factor of human progress, the power to which nations will continue to appeal for the settlement of controversies, the future can only determine. The grandest captain of the age—U. S. Grant—by the establishment of the Geneva Convention, inaugurated a new power, which meets the approbation of all good people throughout the world, and it is to be hoped that in the settlements of disputes in the future, it will be adopted by all nations and governments.   Neither this county nor the state was settled early enough to send out men to participate in the war of the Revolution, but three of the most prominent pioneers of Muskingum county, settled there soon after the close of that war. They were Generals Rufus Putnam, Benjamin Tupper and Colonel Ichabod Nye. The two former were not only confidential friends of the great Washington, but his able lieutenants in the great struggle for liberty.   The Indian war in the Northwestern Territory, or the territory north of the Ohio, which followed the war of the Revolution, was too early to affect the territory   HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 117   now embraced within the limits of Muskingum county. There were a few Indians inhabiting that territory at the time that were in the Indian war, but there were no battles fought on its soil; nor is it known that there were any white men living in the territory that were in the war.   When the Indians discovered that they could no longer depend upon their former ally, the British, for aid, they became satisfied that they could not cope with the power of. the United States, and were willing and ready to accept the terms of the treaty of peace, that had been proposed by our government. The principal features of this treaty were: The cessation of hostilities; the restoration of all prisoners of war; the establishment of boundary llnes, With further cession of lands by the Indians, and compensation on the part of the government for all additional lands ceded. The Indians were to acknowledge themselves under the protection of the United States, and no other power, and to sell off their reserved lands to no other power; the Indians or the United States, to remove or punish intruders on the Indian lands. Trade was to be opened as provided in the Fort Harmer treaty; all injuries to be settled by law, and any, hostile plans known to one party to be revealed to the other. All previous treaties annulled.   This treaty was concluded and signed by Gen. Wayne and the representatives of. the Indian tribes and nations of the Northwest, at Greenville, August 3, 1795, and was ratified by the United States Senate, December 22, 1795. The amicable adjustment of the Indian troubles was the initiatory step to the rapid settlement of this section of the country.   War of 1812.—The impressment of American naturalized citizens on the high seas by the British government, the attempt to incite the New England states to a dismemberment of the Union, the intrigues by her emissaries with the Indians of the Northwest to induce them to again make war against the United States, were the principal causes that brought on the war of 1812. The British government thought that if they could again incite the Indians to war against the settlers of the Northwest, they would 'be forever compelled to abandon that territory north of the Ohio, thereby making the Ohio river the boundary line, and ultimately it would be able to add that magnificent domain to its own possessions.     In June, 1812, war was declared by the United States against Great Britain. In this war the soil of Ohio was the scene of most momentous engagements of the army of the Northwest; and in the regular service and in volunteer militia, the soldiers acquitted themselves with honor. When the first murmurings of the impending conflict were heard, the attention of the government was directed to Ohio as the most suitable ground for organization and the base of operations in the Northwestern frontier. It was held as certain that the English would depend upon and would secure the aid of the dreaded allies, the Indians. Ohio was the frontier territory and the population was much scattered, being at that period the youngest of the States. In view of the, exposed condition of the frontier and the almost certain coalition of the Indians under their noted chief, Tecumseh, the government determined to send a body of regular troops from Southern Ohio to the northwestern frontier, the Detroit river, to secure the command of Lake Erie. A force of 1,500 men, which had been drawn together at Cincinnati, and known as the Northwestern army, was given to Brig.-Gen. William Hull. Gen. Hull left Cincinnati with these troops May 14, 1812. At Urbana he was joined by one regiment of Ohio volunteers, under command of Col. James Findley; one company of Cincinnati light infantry, commanded by Capt. John F. Mansfield; one regiment froni the Scioto country, commanded by Col. Duncan McArthur, and another regiment from the Muskingum country, commanded by Col. Lewis Cass. In the latter regiment there were about 250 men from Muskingum county. Of this number about twenty were killed in the war. Northern Ohio, Lake Erie, Michigan and Canada comprised the principal theatre of the war in the West; and among the events of note were Col. Croghan's defense of Fort Stephenson, on the present site of Fremont, Ohio; Commodore Perry's victory on Lake Erie; Hull's surrender at Detroit; the defeat of the British under Gen. Proctor; the defeat of the Indians under Tecumseh, by Gen. Harrison, at the battle of the Thames, in which the great Indian chief was killed, and the gallant and ever memorable defense of New Orleans by Gen. Jackson.   The war closed, victory resting with the arms of the republic; the volunteers returned to their homes, and the treaty (Ghent) was signed by the representatives of the United States and Great Britain December 24, 1814.   The Mexican War.—The battle of San Jacinto, which was fought April 21, 1836, terminated the fierce struggle between Mexico and Texas, and secured to the latter her independence, which she maintained up to the year 1845.   118 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.   Mexico, however, submitted to her defeat, and the loss of her magnificent territory with ill grace, and nursed the hope that she would ultimately regain it. When the question of the annexation of the Texas Republic to the United States came up, Mexico used all her influence with our government to prevent it, claiming that as she had not recognized the independence of Texas, that territory was still a part of her domain. The efforts of the Mexican government, aided by the anti-slavery element in the United States, were not strong enough to resist the powerful pressure for annexation, and February 24, 1843, a joint resolution for the admission of Texas passed both houses of Congress; the following day it was signed by President Tyler, and thus that grand empire became a part of this great nation.   This act was regarded by the Mexican government as unjust and as an encroachment on its rights, and soon after the inauguration of President Polk, the Mexican minister called for his passports. Texas was admitted into the Union July 4, 1845; diplomatic relations between the two countries ceased, and both nations began preparations for war. General Zachary Taylor was sent into Texas with 1,500 men, which was subsequently increased. He took a position 'with his forces, which was called the "army of occupation," near the border of the Rio Grande. The army was engaged in defending the territory of the new state from Mexican invasion until the spring of 1846. Final declaration of war was made on the part of the United States, May 13, 1846, and on the part of Mexico May 23d following, and active measures for war were at once taken. A call was made by the President for 43,500 men and a requisition on the State of Ohio was made for three regiments or 2,400 men.   May 20, 1846, Governor Bartley issued his proclamation in response to the call of the President on Ohio for three regiments. The call was for volunteers in the terms of the law, " Infantry or riflemen to serve twelve months or to the end of the war, unless sooner discharged." The governor, in his proclamation, appealed to the patriotism of the people of the state,, and called upon the major-generals to muster their several divisions, and to determine the number of volunteers that could be had in each brigade. May 22, 1846, Maj.-Gen. Chas. B. Goddard, in response to the governor's proclamation, called on Gen. John T. Arthur of the Second brigade, to proceed to ascertain the number of volunteers under his command who would enroll themselves for the war. The next clay General Arthur issued the following order:   HEADQUARTERS SECOND BRIGADE,   FIFTEENTH DIVISION OF THE MILITIA OF OHIO,   ZANESVILLE, May 23, 1845.   Sir: I have this day received an order from the major-general of this Division to take measures to ascertain the number of volunteers in this brigade, who will enrole themselves as such to serve as infantry or riflemen in the war now existing between the United States and Mexico. The ununiformed militia are exempt from active military service only in time of peace. It is intended by this order that all the militia of this brigade shall parade on the day designated. You will therefore proceed to notify the forces under your command for parade in Zanesville on Tuesday, May 28, at 9 o'clock A. M. Particulars as to the period of service, the place of rendezvous, and the time at which the volunteers will he required to appear at the place of rendezvous, will be fully communicated on the day of parade.   By order of Brig.-Gen. John T. Arthur,   D. W. RHODES, Brigadier Inspector.   From eighteen to forty-five years was the age within which the militia were subject to duty. Another call was made from Robert Hazlett.   FIRST LIGHT INFANTRY BATTALION, SECOND BRIGADE, FIFTEENTH DIVISION OHIO MILITIA,   You are ordered to parade in front of court house on Tuesday. May 28, 1846, at 9 o'clock A. M., properly armed and equipped. (Summer uniform)   By command of Brigadier-General.   ROBERT HAZLETT,   Senior Captain in Command.   These orders for the parade brought together a large and enthusiastic crowd. The brigade was marched to the large field and orchard above West Zanesville, where speeches were made—Gen. Goddard being one of the principal speakers. Party politics was suppressed, and patriotism reigned supreme. After the addresses were made, the brigade formed in line, and volunteering began. Forty-six volunteers were enrolled that day.   The governor divided the state into two districts, in each of which was one place of rendezvous. Gen. Goddard was placed in command of the eastern district, and Zanesville was named as the general place of rendezvous for the levies of that part of the state, where they were to embark on transports for Cincinnati. The volunteers from Muskingum and Perry counties rendezvoused at Camp Putnam. There were ninety-three all told. On the morning of June 11, the volunteers held an election for officers, with the following result: Captain, Asbury Noles, of Perry county ; First Lieutenant, George Foster, of Muskingum county ; Second Lieutenant, Isaac Delong, of Perry county. June 12th, the company, amid the enthusiastic cheers of   HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 119   the people, left Zanesville on the May Queen, for Cincinnati, where it was assigned to the Third regiment, commanded by Col. R. S. Curtis. The troops arrived at New Orleans July 9, and went into camp on the old battleground. In a few days they left for the seat of war.   This company did gallant service in the war, and participated in some of the fiercest and most deadly battles. At the close of the war those that escaped death returned to their homes.*   February 3, 1848, treaty of peace was concluded at Guadaloupe, was ratified by both governments, and was proclaimed by President. Polk, July 4, 1848.   War of 1861-5.—At the close of the war, Ohio had in the Union army 200 regiments of all arms. In the course of the war she furnished 230 regiments, besides 26 independent batteries of artillery, 5 independent companies of sharpshooters, a large part of 5 regiments accredited to West Virginia continent ; two regiments transferred to United State colored troops, and a large portion of the rank an file of the 54th and 55th Massachusetts. Muskingum county furnished, all told, 3,850 men. It is not the purpose of this work to give the history of all the regiments that were enlisted from Ohio for the war of the rebellion, but those in which soldiers from Muskingum county were mustered.   First Ohio Volunteer Infantry.—This regiment was formed and on its way to Washington, under the command of A. M. McCook, within three days after President Lincoln's first call for troops, which was made and telegraphed throughout the country April 15, 1861. It was largely made up from Southwestern Ohio, its nucleus being formed from the old militia companies, and its' complement chiefly from the young men of that section of the state. Transportation companies at this early stage of the war were not familiar with the moving of troops, and many annoying delays were experienced en route to the Potomac, and ere the regiment arrived at Washington, the first danger to the Capitol of the nation from rebel arms had passed over. It was attached to General Schenck's brigade, and its first engage-   * It is a sad commentary on those upon whom the responsibility rested of preserving the names of the volunteers that enlisted for this war, that none can be found. The historian has searched the files of the newspapers of Zanesville in vain for any record of them. Only a part of the muster roll of one company even can be found in the adjutant general's office of the state, and this is so mutilated that many of the names are unintelligible,   ment was at Vienna, where the rebels attacked their trains. The First,with the rest of the brigade, debarked, formed in line by the track, and acquitted itself handsomely, with the other troops, driving the rebels back. It was on the field at the battle of Bull Run, but was not actively engaged, but rendered valuable service in covering the retreat of those that were in that disastrous battle.   Soon after this battle, its term of service having expired, it was sent home and mustered out, with very slight loss. During the month of August, reorganization for the three years' service begun, its place of rendezvous being at Camp Corwin. October 31, with Col. F. B. Smith in command, it left camp, and proceeded to Cincinnati, where it received its arms, and on the 5th of November embarked on the steamboat Telegraph, for Louisville, and upon its arrival there went into camp at Camp York. Leaving Camp York, November 15th, it reported to Gen. A. McCook at Camp Nevin, and was assigned to the Fourth brigade, Second division, Army of the Cumberland. About the middle of December it broke camp and marched to Green river, where it remained until the 15th of February, 1862, in preparation for active field work, when orders were received to join Gen. Grant, then marching on Fort Henry. On their way, news was received of the fall of Fort Henry, and the regiment returned to Green river, and from there moved on to Nashville, and went into camp in an open field, without either tents or blankets. March 16, the regiment received marching orders and started out for the field of Shiloh, by way, of Duck river and Savannah. During the latter part of the march cannonading was heard in the direction of Shiloh, and double-quick time was made to Savannah, then to Pittsburg Landing, where they arrived on the morning of the 7th of April. The regiment immediately formed in line of battle to the left of its brigade, and to the right of Gen. Crittenden's division. It was hotly engaged with the enemy until about mid-day, driving it back, and recapturing General Sherman's camp, when it retired to replenish its ammunition. Having prepared for action, the First again took the field, and participated in the general charge on the rebel lines. During this battle the First was saved from greater loss by the generalship of its able commander, B. F. Smith. It next participated in the movements on Corinth, but did not join in the pursuit of the enemy. It remained for a while guarding Corinth, and then was ordered to Nashville. It was engaged in several expeditions and skirmishes on its way, and finally arrived there   120 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.   September 7th. On the the 10th it crossed the Cumberland river, and joined Buell's army, then in pursuit of Bragg, who was marching on Louisville. The enemy was beaten in this race, and the Union forces arrived at Louisville September 26th. The First participated in all the movements of its brigade, and was on the field December 31, for the battle of Stone river. After this battle the First marched through Murfreesboro, and went into camp on the Shelbyville pike. While lying there, the army was reorganized, and the First was placed in the Second division of the Twentieth army corps,   In June, 1863, the movement against Tullahoma begun, which brought on the engagementat Liberty Gap, in which the First participated, principally held in reserve and subjected to a heavy artillery fire. After this engagement the march was resumed, which severely tested the endurance of the men, and about the middle of the night of July 1st Tullahoma, was reached. The Chickamaga campaign was initiated on the 30th of Au ust, and after much marching and counter-marching the First was placed in line for that great battle, in which it was engaged, with severe losses, to its close. On November .22 the Union forces withdrew and marched into Chattanooga, and the First was placed on the left of the 'Chattanooga road, with its right on the bridge crossing Chattanooga creek. Here it lay for nearly two hours under fire of the enemy, unable to make any return. This position was occupied until the night of the 25th, when it fell back to the second line of works, and was allowed, for the first time in eight days, to lay aside its accoutrements and take a rest.   In October, the Twentieth and Fourth army corps were consolidated, and the First was placed in Gen. Hazen's brigade, in the Third division of that corps. On the 23d of November it was engaged in the fight at Orchard Knob, which initiated the battle of Mission Ridge, in which the First took a prominent part. In November the First was among the regiments that were sent to the relief of Gen. Burnside, at Knoxville. On this march, and in the East Tennessee campaign, the troops suffered terribly from cold, lack of clothing and food. They met and had a fight with the rebels at Strawberry Plains.   On the 4th of May, 1864, the First joined Sherman for the Atlanta campaign. It participated in the battles of Buzzards' Roost, Resaca, Adairsville, Burnt Hickory, Kenesaw Mount and Chattahoochee River. This ended its active fighting.   The original members (except veterans) were mustered out September 24, 1864, upon the expiration of their term of service, and the veterans and recruits were transferred to the Eighteenth Veteran Ohio Infantry, October 31, 1864. It was in twenty-four battles and skirmishes, and had 527 officers and men killed and wounded. It marched about 2,500 miles and was transported about 1,000 miles. It was initiated at Pittsburg landing and closed its war record in front of Atlanta.   Second Ohio Volunteer Infantry.—The second was organized at Camp Dennison, during the months of August and September, 1861. As a regiment it had been in the three months' service and had participated in the first campaign around Washington. With a full complement of officers, and over nine hundred strong, under command of Col. Leonard A. Harris, it left camp in September, by order of Gen. O. M. Mitchell, then in command of Cincinnati, crossed the Ohio river, and marched by way of Paris to Olympia Springs, in Eastern Kentucky. They were the first Union troops to enter that part of the state; it was engaged principally in scout duty, and in intercepting rebel troops on their way South. The first engagement of the Second was at West Liberty, October 22, where they had a sharp and successful fight with rebel troops under Jack May. It subsequently joined the command of Gen. Nelson and was in the movement toward Prestonburg. It also assisted in the repulse of the rebels at Ivy Mountain, pursuing them to Piketown, where an engagement was had. From there they marched down the Big Sandy to Louisa, where they embarked for Louisville. Arriving there, the Second was brigaded with other troops under the command of Colonel Joshua W. Sill, and assigned to the division of Gen. Mitchell. It went into winter quarters at Bacon Creek, and was chiefly engaged in drilling and perfecting its dicipline. In February, 1862, the division moved in advance of the Army of the Ohio, under command of Gen. Buell, on Bowling Green, Gallatin and Nashville, occupying the latter place. In March, when the main body of Gen. Buell's army moved out to join Gen. Grant at Pittsburg Landing, the Second, with Gen. Mitchell's division, moved on Murfreesboro, Shelbyville, Fayetteville and Huntsville, having several slight engagements on the way, the principal one being at Bridgeport, where the Second destroyed the rail-road , bridge across the Tennessee. When Gen. Bragg invaded Kentucky, the Union forces fell back to Louisville, and the Second Ohio, which was then at Battle Creek, Tenn., was   HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 121   ordered out and moved across the mountains, through Murfreesboro, Nashville, Bowling Green, Green River, to Louisville, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Kell, Col. Harris having command of the brigade. When the army was reorganized at Louisville, the Second was assigned to Rosseau's division in Gen. McCook's left wing, and participated in the battle of Perryville, October 8, 1862, in which action its loss was nearly 40 per cent.   The Second joined the army in the pursuit of the enemy as far as Crab Orchard. At this point, Gen. Buell turned his column again toward Nashville, which was reached October 26th. During this march, however,, Gen. Buell was superseded by Gen. Rosecrans, which gave a brighter aspect to the military situation.   Gen. Rosecrans entered with energy upon his duties, the army was reorganized, the name of the department changed and the army rebaptized as the "Army of the Cumberland. Gen. Rosecrans established his temporary headquarters at Bowling Green. The rebel army was making its way over the mountains to Murfreesboro, where another force under Gen. Breckinridge was stationed. Nashville was invested with a strong force of cavalry. That city was held by a splendid division of troops, commanded by Gen. Negley, and was regarded as safe.   The rebels could not concentrate for its assault before Gen. Rosecrans could move his troops for its relief. He therefore contented himself with keeping his communications open and perfecting his command and arranging his line of supplies. When everything was ready the Army of the Cumberland moved on to Nashville thoroughly organized and ready to meet the rebel hosts.   The division to which the Second was attached, had been assigned to the Fourteenth army corps, under Gen.. George H. Thomas. It remained in this corps and participated in all of its marches and battles up to Atlanta.   The Second was hotly engaged in the battle of Stone River, suffering heavily in killed and wounded. Among the killed was Colonel Kell, who fell at the head of his regiment. From Murfreesboro, in the spring of 1863, .a forward movement was made by the Army of the Cumberland. The month of June found "Old Rosy," as he was affectionately called by the soldiers, on the war-path toward Tullahoma and Shelbyville, after Gen. Bragg, who had strongly fortified his lines. The Union forces met with but little resistance their advance. The next engagement was at Chickamauga, September 19th and 20th. In this battle the Second lost heavily in men and officers—Lieut-Col. Maxwell, then in command being among the list. Its aggregate loss was 183 officers and men, killed, wounded, and missing. After the battle, the forces-fell back to Chattanooga. On November 24, the brigade to which the Second was attached, was ordered to the assistance of Gen. Hooker at Lookout Mountain, and participated in that battle above the clouds, November 24th. In the battle of Mission Ridge, which occurred on the following day, the Second distinguished itself in the capture of the colors of the Thirty-eighth Alabama. The Second was in the pursuit, with its brigade, of the enemy to Ringgold, Ga., where a halt was made. In February, 1864, in the reconnoissance to Buzzards' Roost, the Second took the advance, and developed the strength of the enemy. at Dalton. In May it was attached to Sher-man's army for the Atlanta campaign. On May 14, the Second led in the assault to carry the enemy's entrenched position at Resaca. It lost in this action thirteen officers and men killed, and twenty-seven wounded. From this action it marched with its division to Chattahoochee river, and participated in the battle of Peach Tree Creek, July 21, 1864. In this battle Adj. John W. Thomas was killed, which was the last sacrifice the regiment made- for the cause of the Union. It remained, in front of /Atlanta until August 1, when orders were received to march to Chattanooga, preparatory to final discharge. On their way they had several lively movements after the rebel Gen. Wheeler. From Chattanooga it was sent to Columbus, 0., where it was honorably mustered out of the United States service, October 10, i864. The veterans and recruits were transferred to the Eighteenth veteran infantry, October 31, 1864. The Second 'had in men and officers killed, 111 ; wounded, 425.   Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry.—This regiment, like the First and Second, served Linder two separate terms of enlistment—the first for three months and second for three years. Its organization was completed at Camp Jackson, April 21, 1861, and on the 27th it was mustered into the United States service. Company E was mainly made up from Muskingum county. An election was held for field officers, which resulted in the choice of Isaac Morrow for colonel; John Beatty for lieutenant-colonel, and Warren Kieffer for major. A part of the regiment was sent to Camp Dennison to break ground and prepare a camping place. They were followed soon after by the balance of the   122 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.   regiment, with tools, lumber, etc. with which to construct suitable quarters. While at that camp they were thoroughly drilled and disciplined. The latter part of May the regiment was supplied with an assortment of odd arms, a lot of blouses and gray pants. The three months' enlistment was more than half out before orders were received for the regiment to take the field, and volunteers for three years' service were called for. The Third re-enlisted with great enthusiasm, and on June 12 the regiment reorganized by re-electing their officers. In January, 1862, the regiment having been susplied with arms and uniforms, was ordered to Grafton, Va., then the seat of war. The moving of soldiers over railway lines was something new then to the people, and crowds were assembled at every station to give them greeting and bid them God speed. It was the first three-year regiment to leave the state. After crossing the Ohio it stopped at Benwood and was supplied with ammunition. It arrived at Grafton June 23, and reported to Gen. McClellan. Remaining there two days, it moved on by rail to Clarksburg, where camp equipment was supplied and preparations made for the campaign. It was brigaded with the Fourth and Ninth Ohio and Loomis' Michigan Battery, with Brig.-Gen. Schleich in command. The first service of the. Third was July 5th, when it was sent out on a reconnoitering expedition from Buchanan, W. Va. In this expedition they came upon a body of rebel troops at Middle Fork creek, and an unsuccessful fight was made to dislodge them. In this action the Third had five wounded and had its first man killed.   Its next movement was in pursuit of the flying enemy from the field at Rich Mountain, July 11, 1861. After pursuing the enemy as far as Cheat Mountain summit, the chase was abandoned and they returned. The Third returned to the fort at Cheat Mountain, and was engaged for a time in erecting telegraph lines from Huttonsville to the fort on Cheap Mountain summit. Subsequently it moved to Elkwater creek, and, in connection with ' Loomis' Battery and the Fifteenth Indiana, began the erection of fortifications extending across the valley. On the 11th of September Gen. Robert E. Lee made an attack on the Union forces at Elkwater, driving in their pickets as they advanced. The Third, with the Fifteenth and Seventh Indiana and a part of Loomis' Battery, were in position at Elkwater Junction to resist this attack, which they did in a 'successful manner. The Third took part in all of the movements in this section until the retirement of the rebel army to Mingo Flats. Subsequently it was ordered to Cincinnati, where it arrived November 28, 1861, and after having received the hospitalities of the city, re-embarked for Louisville, Ky. Arriving there, it at once went into camp at Camp Jenkins. The Army of the Ohio was then organized and the Third assigned to the Third division, with Gen. 0. M. Mitchell commanding. From there it moved to Camp Jefferson and went into winter quarters. February 22, 1862, it moved out for Bowling Green, and arrived there just as the rebels were making their exit. It moved on to the banks of the Tennessee, opposite Nashville. From Nashville it moved southward with the Third division, and took a prominent part in that brilliant campaign which included the capture of Murfreesboro, the occupation of Shelbyville and Fayettville. It performed gallant service at Bridgeport, Ala., where, led by the brave and dashing soldier, Gen. Mitchell, it charged and drove the rebels across the bridge. This action took place April 29, 1862. From this on to fall but little of importance occurred to the regiment. Its base of operations continued at ,Huntsville until August 23, when it moved out to Dechered station, and after a month's maneuvering and marching, it entered Louisville, September 25. It took an active part at the battle of Perryville, October 8, and distinguished itself for its fighting qualities, suffering heavily. At the close of the action Gen. Rousseau thanked the regiment, in behalf of the Union army, for its gallant conduct. Its loss, killed and wounded, was 215 men and officers. The Third joined in the pursuit of Bragg for a time and then turned, and finally made a halt at New Market. On the 30th of November it went into camp at Nashville, much elated over the possession of a new commander in the person of Gen. Rosecrans. Rosecrans reorganized his army, placing the Third in .the reserve division, with Rousseau commanding. The battle of Stone River was fought December 31st, the Third taking an active part, commanded by, its lieutenant-colonel, Lawson, while the brigade was commanded by its colonel.   In this battle the Third maintained its reputation as, a fighting regiment. For three months' after this engagement the Third lay in camp at Murfreesboro. In April, 1863, it was detached from the army proper, and. with the Eighteenth Illinois, the Fifty-first and Seventy-third Indiana, and two companies of the Alabama Cavalry, was sent on a raid into Georgia for the purpose of destroying the iron works and the arsenals at Rome. They had several   HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 123   sharp encounters with the enemy, the principal one of which was at Sand Mountain, Ala., where they were attacked by a heavy cavalry force under Gen. Roddy, sustained by a battery. A desperate fight followed, in which the enemy were defeated, the Third alone capturing a battery of twelve pounders.   Subsequently 250 of the best mounted troops were picked out and sent forward with orders to enter Rome if possible and destroy the Confederate works. This was accomplished. The remainder of the command marched on for the same place, but had much to disconcert them on their way. They reached Cedar Bluff, some twenty miles from Rome, May 3, men and horses worn out, ammunition destroyed, and the enemy—General Forrest with his cavalry—closely upon their heels.   General Forrest demanded a surrender, which was finally made, and the Third Ohio were led captives to Rome. From Rome they were taken to Atlanta, thence to Knoxville, and Richmond, where they were quartered on Belle Island. There on May 15, the men were paroled and the regimental officers taken to Libby. The men were sent to City Point, then to Annapolis, and from there to Camp Chase, where they waited an exchange. August 1, 1864, they received orders to report to Gen. Granger at Nashville, where they were armed and equipped once more for the field, and placed in their old brigade, commanded by Gen. Beatty, who was on duty at Stephenson, Ala. They arrived at Stephenson too late to meet their command, which had crossed the Tennessee, and they were for the time attached to the Reserve corps. Later they were ordered to Battle Creek, where they had an encounter with Wheeler's cavalry near Anderson's gap. The Third's next station was at Looney creek, where it was engaged in repairing roads and assisting in the passage of trains to Chattanooga. November 18, 1863, it was ordered to Kelly's Ford. It was still without its officers. It remained at the Ford until after the battle of Mission Ridge, when it was ordered to Chattanooga. It performed garrison duty there until June 9, 1864, when it was ordered to report to Camp Dennison for muster out. As the officers were still in prison no effort was made to veteranize the regiment. June 23, their three years' term having expired, they were mustered out of the United States service; many of the men subsequently enlisted in other regiments for the term of the war.   Fifteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry.--This regiment was among the first to respond to President Lincoln's. call for 75,000 men. It organized for the three months' service at Camp Jackson, May 4, 1861. The men from Muskingum county enlisted chiefly in Companies A and B. -About the 10th of May it moved to Camp Goddard, where it was engaged in preparing for the field. Late in May it received marching orders, and crossed over into West Virginia, where it was engagad in guarding the Baltimore & Ohio railroad as far as Grafton. It took part in the action with the enemy at Philippi, June 13, and subsequently at Laurel Hill and Carrick's Ford. It performed a good deal of marching and guard duty, and August 1, its term of enlistment having expired, it was discharged at Columbus, having lost but two men.   The second call of the President for troops having been made, the Fifteenth, almost to a man, reenlisted. It was reorganized at Camp Bartley, Ohio, with Moses R. Dickey as colonel. From there on the 26th of September, it moved to Camp Dennison, where it received arms, clothing and garrison equipage. Companies A and B received the Enfield rifle and the balance. of the regiment received the old Springfield, remodeled. On October 4, the regiment broke camp for Lexington, thence to Louisville and Camp Nevins, where it was assigned to the Sixth brigade, commanded by Gen. R. W. Johnson, Second division, under Gen. A. McD. McCook, and in the Army of Ohio, commanded by Gen. Sherman. December 9, 1861, they were ordered .to Bacon Creek, and the clay after, the command occupied Mumfordsville. After some marching, and a stop at Bowling Green, the division moved into Nashville and made camp near the city, On March 16, 1862, the command started on its march for Savannah, arriving there April 6, and the day following the Fifteenth embarked for the field of Shiloh, went into action at noon and fought until 4 P. M., when the enemy were repulsed. The regiment lost six men and had sixty-two wounded. In the operations against Corinth the Second division was held in the reserve, and was not called to the front until the latter part of May. On June Jo, the Second division started on its march for Battle Creek, arriving there July 18. The Fifteenth was engaged there in erecting a fort and in camp duty until August 20, when the command moved to Altamonte, on the Cumberland mountains, to meet Gen. Bragg, who was marching in that direction with his forces. From there they moved via. Murfreesboro to Nashville, where a halt was made, and then they continued on to Bowling Green, thence to Louisville, where. they arrived   124 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.   September 26, 1862. On the 1st of October, the Ffteenth, with the Second division, started for the enemy on the Shelbyville pike. Reaching that place the second day, the command halted a few days and then started for Lawrenceburg, where they had a slight action with the enemy. Moving on to Perryville, they were joined by the main army, and started in pursuit of Bragg, following him as far as Crab Orchard, and then going into camp. Breaking camp after a few days' halt, they proceeded to Nashville, where they arrived November 7, 1862. While there the army was reorganized, and on December 26, moved on the enemy at Murfreesboro. The Fifteenth participated in the battle of Stone River, December 31, 1862, and January 1 and 2, 1863, having eighteen killed and eighty-nine wounded. After the occupation of Murfreesboro by Rosecrans' army, the Fifteenth was engaged in foraging, fortifying and in picket duty until June 24, when it moved with the command on Tullahoma and Shelbyville, which were occupied by our forces after the defeat of the enemy at Liberty Gap, June 25, in which fight the Fifteenth took a prominent part. The Second division was then stationed at Tullahoma until August 16, when it was ordered to Bellefonte, thence to Stephenson, Ala. On September 2, the march was continued toward Rome, Ga., crossing Lookout mountain and going into camp at the eastern foot near Alpine, September 10. It recrossed Lookout mountain and moved on, joining the main army in Lookout valley on the 11th. On the 19th the command moved to the field of Chickamauga, some thirteen miles distant, and it, with the Fifteenth; took an active part in that memorable battle. The regiment had killed one officer and nine men, two officers and sixty-nine men wounded and forty men missing. The Fifteenth participated in the seige of Chattanooga and in the brilliant assault at Mission Ridge, November 25. After this engagement the Fifteenth was placed in the First brigade, Third division, Fourth army corps, which moved to the relief of Knoxville, Tenn., arriving there December 8. On the 20th it moved to Strawberry Plains.   January 14, 1864, the major portion of the Fifteenth reinlisted and received a furlough. It arrived in Columbus February Jo, with 350 veterans. It assembled at Camp Chase March 14, and with the new recruits numbered 900 strong. It reported at Nashville, and was ordered to Chattanooga, where it arrived on the 5th of April. From there it was moved to McDonald station, where it awaited orders for the spring campaign. May 3, the regiment broke camp and proceeded to Tunnel Hill, and joined Sherman's army. It was engaged about there in skirmishing with the enemy until May 13, when Rocky Face Ridge was evacuated, and, with the command, it moved into Dalton.   The Fifteenth was an active factor in all battles of the Atlanta campaign—Resaca, Cassville, Kenesaw Mountain, Kenesaw Mountain (general assault), Peach Tree Creek and Atlanta. In all these engagements it won new laurels. When Gen. Hood began his raid on our communications, the Fifteenth marched in pursuit. It moved to Rome by way of Marietta to the relief of the troops at Resaca, and from there through Snake Creek gap to Chattanooga, Pulaski, and Columbia, where it had a slight action with the rebels. From there it moved toward Franklin, passing in sight of the camp fires of the enemy. At Franklin it was assigned the position of coverering the withdrawal of the forces and the retreat to Nashville. At Nashville it was assigned to the extreme left of the army and did noble service in that battle. It made a charge on the rebels and captured a battery and some thirty prisoners. December 16, the regiment participated in the assault upon the enemy's entrenchments on the Nashville pike, and assisted in the capture of over a hundred prisoners. The loss of the regiment in the two days' fight was remarkably light. The rebels were hotly pursued as far as Lexington, Ala., when the command moved toward Huntsville and went in camp at Bird Springs about the first of January, 1865. March 15, orders were received to move into East Tennessee.. It went by rail to New Market, and then took up their line of march to Greensville for the purpose of preventing the escape of Lee and Johnston, who were being closely pressed by Grant and Sherman. From Greenville, April 22, the regiment was ordered back to Nashville. It remained there until June 16, when it was ordered to Texas by way of New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico, making camp for a time on the old Jackson battle ground below the city. The regiment disembarked at Indianola, July 9, 1865, and proceeded to Green Lake, where they made camp. August 10, it started on its march for San Antonio. It reached the banks of the beautiful Salado in August and remained there till October, when it moved into the city for post duty. November 21 it was mustered out, and ordered to report at Columbus, Ohio, for final discharge. It arrived at Columbus December 25, and was discharged from the United States service   HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 125   December 27, 1865. It was in the war four years and eight months, and retired from the service of its country as being one of the best. regiments sent into the field.   Sixteenth Ohio Volunteers.—The Sixteenth was organized at Camp Tiffin, Ohio, October 2, 1861, under Colonel John F. De Courcey, and was mustered the same day into the United States service.

Division, Army of the Ohio, under command of Gen. George W. Morgan. April 28, a move was made to the top of Cumberland mountain near Cumberland gap. The troops arrived at the top early in the morning, with a heavy fog surrounding them. They encountered the rebels and a sharp fight followed, continuing until the afternoon. The month of May was consumed in preparing for an assault on Cumberland gap. About the middle of June it was discovered, on moving toward the gap, that the enemy had abandoned it and had retreated toward Knoxville, Tenn.   The Sixteenth entered the late stronghold of the enemy and hoisted the Union flag. It remained there until August 3, fortifying, drilling and foraging, with an occasional skirmish. On August 6, it was ordered out to relieve the Fourteenth Kentucky, at Tazewell, and a sharp fight followed. In this action, Companies B and E were cut off from the main force and most of them were taken prisoners. The enemy proved too strong for the Union troops, and they were forced to retreat to the main army. Toward night, the Union army retreated within their entrenchment at the gap, the enemy following a short distance.   September 8, the Sixteenth, with its brigade, v/as ordered to Manchester, Ky., for supplies. On the 19th they were joined by the remainder of the Union troops at the gap, and moved toward the Ohio river. In this retreat they were constantly harassed by, the Rebels as far as Grayson.

Col. Ford, for his conduct in that unfortunate affair, was arrested and sent to Washington for trial, and was dismissed from the service by order of the war department. While in camp at Chicago the regiment became greatly demoralized, and many of them left camp and went home. Capt. B. F. Potts was sent to. Gov. Tod of Ohio to get an order from the war department transferring the regiment to Camp. Taylor, Ohio. This was done, and the thirty-five men left of the Thirty-second were transferred to that camp. The regiment was reconstructed, with B. F. Potts, colonel, and by the middle of December, 1862, 800 men had reported for duty.

The Sixty-second was in position on the extreme left of the army under Gen. McClellan. August 16th, it was with the army in the retreat to Yorktown and Fortress Monroe. From the latter place it was ordered to Suffolk, from which it made a reconnaissance to Blackwater. The fourth reconnaissance to that place, December 12, they met the enemy, and had a heavy skirmish. December 31 the regiment marched to Norfolk, and January 4, 1863, embarked on transports for Beaufort, N. C., and from there by rail to Newbern. January 25 it took steamer for Port Royal, S. C., and disembarked February 8 on St. Helena Island, where it remained in camp some weeks, and then sailed for Coal island, April 3 it crossed to Folly island, and on the 7th to Morris island, where, after a hard fight, they drove the enemy within their entrenchments, with great loss. The Union forces   HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 129   captured fourteen siege guns, camp and garrison equipage and a few prisoners.   July 18, the troops made an assault on Fort Wagner. In this terrible assault the Sixty-second lost 150 killed, wounded and missing.   The regiment was next engaged in the siege of Charleston, from July To to October 31. It then returned to . Folly Island and from there to Hilton Head. About the first of January, 1864, the regiment veteranized and was granted thirty days' furlough. It rendezvoused at Washington, and March 3, 1864, it again took the field, going to Petersburg. From this time on the Sixty-second was almost constantly in the contest that centered around the Rebel capitol.   May 21, the regiment was selected as one of the regiments to retake a position that had been lost by our army. This involved a desperate charge and great loss of life, but the detail was equal to the great task imposed; the enemy was driven back and their rifle pits taken. April 3, 1865, it was one of the foremost regiments in the assault on Fort Gregg. It closed its brilliant military career around Appomattox.   In September, 1865, the Sixty-second was consolidated with the Sixty-seventh, thereby losing its identity, as the name of the latter was sustained.   Seventy-eighth Ohio Volunteer Infantry .—The Seventy-Eighth was recruited under special order from Governor Dennison, issued to M. D. Leggett, of Zanesville. It rendezvoused at Camp Gilbert, Zanesville. October 30, 1861, Companies, A, B, C, D, and F, were made up from Muskingum county. Its organization was completed January 11, 1861; by the election of the following officers: Mortimer D. Leggett, colonel ; Zachariah M. Chandler, lieutenant colonel; David F. Carnahan, major; James F. Reeves, surgeon; John E. Jewett, adjutant; John C. Douglas, quarter master; Oliphant M. Todd, chaplain; Andrew McDaniel, sergeant-major. The regiment was ordered to the field February 11, 1862, moving by cars to Cincinnati, and from there by boat to Fort Donelson, where it arrived February 16, 1862. It was assigned a position on the battlefield, but too late to take any part in the fighting. After the battle the regiment was detailed to take charge of the prisoners and stores. About the first of March it was ordered across the country to the Tennessee, at Metal landing, where it went into camp awaiting transportation. March 10, it was ordered to join the Union army on the way to Crump's landing, thence to Adamsonville to protect the exposed flank of the army at Pittsburg landing. The troops at Adamsonville had hardly finished their breakfast when the sounds of battle were heard in the direction of Shiloh. The command was at once drawn up in line of battle to await orders, which were received at midday. The Seventy-eighth, with its brigade, started for the scene of conflict, a distance of fourteen miles. It arrived at Pittsburg landing at eight o'clock P. M., April 6, and after the days's fight was over. It made camp on the extreme right of the Union army. At daylight the following morning the regiment went into action on the right and was engaged all day, with a loss of one man killed and nine wounded. It next participated in the movements on Corinth and was frequently engaged in skirmishes with the enemy while guarding the right flank of the army. After Corinth was evacuated the regiment, with Gen. Wallace's division marched to Bethel, where it was detached, and, with the Thirteenth Illinois, under Col. Leggett, sent to Jackson, Tenn. They drove the Rebel troops out and took possession of the town. It was here that the regiment had the satisfaction of hoisting the national colors on the pole where the first flag of treason was raised in Tennessee. While here the regiment was transferred to Gen. Logan's division. From Jackson, the regiment, with the Thirteenth Illinois, under command of Col. Leggett, moved to Grand Junction, Mississippi. It remained there about four weeks, and was then ordered to Bolivar, where it was engaged in reconnoitering and in skirmishing with the enemy. August 30, after its return to Bolivar, the regiment, with the Twentieth Ohio, one company of the Eleventh Illinois cavalry, and a section of the Ninth Indiana artillery, had a sharp action with the enemy at Spring Creek. During the fight four companies of the famous Second Illinois cavalry, under Col. Hogg, came up and took part. Col. Hogg was killed in this engagement. Before this fight took place a force of mounted infantry was raised from the Seventy-eighth and Twentieth Ohio, which was placed under the command of Lieuts. Gilbert D. Munson, of the Seventy-eighth, and Lyman N. Ayers, of the Twentieth, to make the reconnaissance. After this successful action the force fell back to the main body. The Seventy-eighth then moved to Iuka to meet VanDorn and Price, but did not participate in that fight. Returning to Bolivar, it was ordered to report to Grant, then moving toward Grenada, Miss. It was marching in advance of the army and near Grenada, when information was received of the destruction of the army supplies at Holly   130 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.   Springs. This changed the movements of the Union forces. The army fell back and the Seventy-eighth, with Gen. Grant's forces, moved to Memphis. From there it embarked for Lake Providence, La., where it was engaged in cutting the bank of the Mississippi and opening Bayou Jackson with a view of flooding the country below. While at this point the brigade made an expedition up Mud Bayou to extricate some gunboats which were threat-ened by the Rebels.   The next move of the regiment was to Milliken's Bend, where it joined Grant, who was then laying his plans for moving against Vicksburg. Crossing the Mississippi at Bruinsburg, the regiment moved with the army to the rear of Vicksburg, and during this movement it was engaged in the battle at Raymond, May 12th, in which it suffered severely, losing eighty men, killed and wounded. May 16, it took a prominent part in the battle at Champion's Hill, where it lost 116 men killed and wounded. The brigade during these two last engagements was commanded by Leggett, he having received his commission as brigadier- general some time previous. The investment of Vicksburg having been completed, the Seventy-eighth, May 22, took part in the general charge on the enemy's works. April 25, the regiment was ordered up the Yazoo with a force under command of Gen. Frank P. Blair, to watch the manceuvers of the Rebels under Gen. Johnston. Returning, the regiment resumed its position in line before Vicksburg. About this time Gen. Leggett was transferred to the First brigade in Logan's division. June 22, the Seventy-eighth was sent out with a force on the Black river, to prevent the Rebel commander, Johnston, from crossing with his force at Bovina. It remained there until after the surrender at Vicksburg, July 4, 1863, when it joined Gen. Sherman in his movement on Jackson. It was left at Clinton, where, July 7, it gallantly repulsed an attack made by Rebel cavalry. The regiment accom- panied the Union troops back to Vicksburg, where it remained until the latter part of August.. It was then sent out with Gen. McPherson's expedition toward Canton. Returning it joined Gen. Logan in his movement to Monroeville, La., to meet the enemy in that locality. January 5, 1864, the Seventy-eighth re-enlisted, and was attached to Gen. Sherman's army for his Meridian expedition. Upon its return it was sent home on veteran furlough.   On the regiment's return, May 1, to Cairo the division was re-organized, and embarked on steamers up the Tennessee to Clifton. Passing over Blue Mountain ridge, it joined Gen. Sherman's army at Ack worth, Ga., and was placed on the left to. perform its part in the great Atlanta campaign. June 17, it took part in the capture of Bushy mountain. June 27, the Seventy-eighth was again in action at Kenesaw mountain. After that engagement, the regiment with the army of the Tennessee, made a flank movement by swinging around the mountain to the extreme right of Sherman's line extending along to the Chattahoochee, at the mouth of Nickajack creek. This forced the enemy to evacuate the mountain. Up to July i6, the regiment was almost in continuous action, either in skirmishing or artillery duel. During this period the soldiers of the two armies were often found trading and communicating with each other. July 16, the regiment, with its command, moved to Roswell factories and crossed the Chattahoochee. From there the command moved forward on Atlanta, and July 21, was actively engaged at Bald Knob. After this position was carried the shelling of Atlanta was begun. This was a very important position in the defense of Atlanta, and the Rebel commander tried to regain it; and July 22, he threw his entire army on the left flank of the Union forces. A terrible fight followed, in which the brave and gallant McPherson was killed. The Seventy eighth, with the Sixty-eighth, held a line near Bald Knob, an important point, on which the enemy made a deadly attack a hand-to-hand fight—and great valor was displayed on both sides. Thirteen flag and color-bearers of the Seventy-eighth were either killed or wounded. These regiments were victors. The Seventy-eighth in this battle lost 203 officers and men killed and wounded. It took a prominent part in all the subsequent movements of the command until the fall of Atlanta. It then went into camp there, where it remained until about the middle of October, when it was ordered toward Chattanooga to guard supply trains against the rebel general Hood. When Hood withdrew toward Decatur, the Seventy-eighth returned to Atlanta by way of Lost mountain, where it arrived November 13th. On the 15th, it joined Gen. Sherman's army for the great march to the sea. From Savannah the regiment marched through the Carolinas, and was at the surrender of Gen. Johnston's army. From there, with the victorious Union army, it moved northward through Richmond and on to Washington, where it took part in the 1 grand review, May 30, 1865. A few days   HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 131   subsequent it was ordered to Louisville. From there, July 9, it started for Columbus, Ohio, where, on the nth, it was paid off and mustered out of the service of the United States. No regiment leaving the state to battle for the cause of the Union was more distinguished for its gallantry, noble daring and hard fighting than the brave Seventy-eighth.   Ninety-seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry.—The Ninety-seventh was recruited from the counties of Coshocton, Guernsey, Morgan and Muskinggum, Companies C, E, F, G and K being largely made up from the latter county. It was mustered into service by Charles C. Goddard, Capt. Seventeenth U. S. I., at Camp Zanesville, September 1 and 2, 1862. Its field and staff officers were John Q. Lane, colonel; Milton Barnes, lieutenant colonel; James W. Moore, major; Thos. W. Gordon, surgeon; Chas. H. Moore, adjutant; Wm. H. McFarland, chaplin; Wm. F. Baker, quartermaster and Charles H. James, sergeant-major. It left Zanesville, September 7, for Covington Heights, and the following morning formed near Fort Mitchell pending the raid of Kirby Smith. September 20, it embarked for Louisville. Arriving there on the 22d, it was brigaded with Gen. Buell's army, which was then marching after Gen. Bragg. On the 4th of October, the rear guard of Bragg's army was met at Bardstown, where a lively skirmish was had, the enemy retreating toward Perryville. When the battle of Perryville opened, on the morning of October 8, the Ninety-seventh was some ten miles distant with the main part of Buell's army. The regiment with its command was hurried forward rapidly to the battleground where it did good service in holding the enemy in check and preventing it from flanking our right. On the 9th, the enemy having evacuated Perryville, the Ninety-seventh joined in the pursuit as far as Wild Cat, Ky., when it was abandoned and the command moved to Nashville, where it arrived November 21, and went into camp on the Murfreesboro railroad. Upon the reorganization of this department of our army under Gen. Wm. S. Rosecrans, the Ninety-seventh was placed in Gen. Crittenden's corps, which formed the left wing of the army of the Cumberland. December 20, the army began its movement on Murfreesboro, and on the 27th, met the enemy's outpast at Lavergne, moving on with the army. The regiment was not engaged until the 31st, which brought on the battle at Stone river. Gen. McCook's right wing had been driven back, but the pursuing enemy were repulsed by Gen. Crittenden, and at night the original lines were held. January 1, 1863, the Ninety-seventh was placed to the left of Gen. Wood's division, the left wing of the regiment resting on Stone river. January 2, Gen. Breckinridge made an attack on Gen. Wm Cline's division—which had crossed the river—driving it back. This brought into action the Ninety-seventh, which greatly aided in repulsing the enemy's strong attack. The regiment crossed the river and drove the enemy to his original line. It went into camp on the La Casas turnpike, where it remained until the movement against Tullahoma began. August 20, the regiment took up its position on Waldron's ridge, in view of Chattanooga. In the reorganization of the army of the Cumberland, under Gen. George H. Thomas, the Ninety-seventh was placed in the Second division—under Gen. Sheridan—of the Fourth army corps. The next engagement participated in by the Ninety-seventh was Mission Ridge. In this battle the regiment made a gallant fight, and suffered severely. Its loss was 156 officers and men killed and wounded.   Pursuing the retreating enemy, the regiment, with the Fortieth Indiana, overtook the rear guard, which had formed, and drove him across the Chickamauga creek. November 26, the regiment moved back to Chattanooga. Two days later it joined Gen. Granger's command, which went to the relief of Gen. Burnside at Knoxville, who was besieged by Gen. Longstreet. On this march the men suffered fearfully. They were without tents, thinly clothed, and many of them, when they reached Knoxville, were without shoes. December 15, the report came that the enemy was again moving on Knoxville, and the Ninety-seventh, with the Fourth army corps, was ordered to Strawberry Plains and Blain's cross roads, to meet and drive back the rebels under Longstreet. The Ninety-seventh remained at Blain's cross roads from the middle of December to the middle of January, 1864, without tents, poorly clothed, and depending for subsistence by foraging in an impoverished country. January 16, the command moved across the Holston river to Dandrige, where it had a lively skirmish. The fight was renewed the day following, when Gen. Sheridan, who was in command of the Union forces there, ordered a retreat to Strawberry Plains. January 19, the Ninety-seventh, under Sheridan, moved to Loudon,- Tenn., where it remained until March 4, when it was ordered to Charleston, to guard the railroad bridge across the Hiawassee river; April 25, it returned to the command at Cleveland, remaining there until May 3, when it moved out for the Atlanta campaign. The next import-   132 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.   ant move of the Ninety-seventh was its participation in the battle of Rocky Face Ridge, May 5-9. At Resaca the regiment was under heavy fire of the enemy for two days, and at Adairsville, on the 17th, it had a sharp action. It participated in the movement against Dallas, and from May 25 to June 5, it was constantly under fire. The enemy fell back to Kenesaw mountain, pursued by the Union forces. June 17, the Ninety-seventh made a charge on the enemy, and, with the assistance of the Twenty-eighth Kentucky, drove him behind his second line of works. June 23, the Ninety-seventh, being on picket line, received orders to drive in the enemy's outposts. This order was obeyed, at a terrible sacrifice. Of the 153 men who went forward to this duty, 112 were either killed or wounded in thirty minutes' time. June 27, the Ninety-seventh, with the Second division, made another charge on Kenesaw mountain, and were driven back with great loss. July 4, the enemy evacuated Kenesaw mountain, and fell back to the Chattahoochee. July 6, the regiment arrived at Chattahoochee river, and went into camp.   July 13, it crossed the Chattahoochee, and was the first of the Union troops on the south side of that river. On the morning of the 10th, it crossed Peach Tree creek, and drove in the picket line of the rebels. A line of battle was formed, with the Ninety-seventh on the extreme left. It was at this point that Gen. Hood made his first charge against the Union forces, and the Ninety-seventh received the first assault of the enemy. It was a terrible charge, but the little band of heroes, numbering less than 300 held their ground. For their noble stand they received the thanks of Gen. Howard. They were also relieved from any further duty during that campaign.   The Ninety-seventh was in the action at Jonesboro, and joined in the pursuit of the enemy back to Lovejoy station. September 2, the Union forces went into Atlanta, and made their camp about the town. September 25, the Ninety-seventh, with the Second division of the Fourth army corps, was ordered to Chattanooga, to relieve the Pioneer brigade on Lookout mountain, that it might go to the assistance of the Union troops at Tullahoma, which were threatened by Hood. This Rebel general's activity kept the Ninety-seventh almost constantly on the move. October 19, it again joined Sherman's army..at Alpine, Ga., and subsequently moved by rail to Athens, Ala. It returned northward, and arrived at Pulaski, Tenn., November 5, remaining there until the 17th: At this time Hood was advancing on Columbia, with the hope of beating the Union forces into Nashville.   The Ninety-seventh moved out. in advance of the enemy to Columbia, and on the 29th, the Union army evacuated that place and moved toward Franklin. On the march, the Second division of the Fourth army corps met the enemy at Spring Hill, November 29, and fought him until night set in. During the night, the balance of the army came up, and the march was resumed to Franklin, the rear almost constantly skirmishing with the enemy.   The Ninety-seventh took part in the battle of Nashville, being with the Second division of the Fourth army corps, on the left center. It was in the first assault on the Rebel lines, driving the enemy back in great confusion. December 16, it took part in the action at Brentford Hills, defeating the enemy and pursuing him across the Tennessee. The regiment, with the Fourth army corps, reached Huntsville, Ala., January 3, 1865. March 28, the command moved to Bull's gap, in East Tennessee, and began rebuilding the railroad leading into Virginia, with the view of advancing on Richmond by way of Lynchburg. Learning of the fall of Richmond, Gen. Thomas marched his forces to Nashville, arriving there May 2. June 10, 1865, the Ninety-seventh was mustered out and sent to Columbus, where it was paid off and discharged from the. United States service June 15, 1865. It lost during its long and brilliant campaign, 113 officers and men killed, and 56o wounded. It returned to its home with the reputation of being one of the' best and bravest regiments in the service of the rebellion.   One Hundred-and-seventy-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry.—This regiment was organized at Camp Zanesville, from September 30, to October 8, 1862, to serve three years. It was recruited from the counties of Coshocton, Guernsey, Morgan and Muskingum. Volunteers from Muskingum were principally in Companies A, B, F, G, H, I and K. It was mustered into the United States service by Chas. C. Goddard, Captain Seventeenth United States infantry. Its organization was perfected by the election of Wm. H. Ball, colonel; John M. Bushfield, lieutenant colonel; Joseph Peach, major; T. A. Reamy, surgeon; James T. Cushing, adjutant; Daniel H. Mosley, quartermas ter; Chas. C. McCabe, chaplain and Geo. C. McCormick, sergeant major.   October 23, the regiment started for the field. It embarked at Zanesville on the steamboats "Powell" and "Patton," and descending the Muskingum, disembarked at Parkersburg, W. Va. Proceeding by rail to Clarksburg, it was   HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 133   assigned to the Second brigade, Milroy's division—commanded by Col. Washburne. November 15, it moved to New creek, and December 5, was temporarily placed in the first brigade. Its first service was on an expedition to the south branch of the Potomac, by way of Petersburg and Wardensville. The first action of the regiment was in meeting an attack by a band of guerrillas under McNeil, which it repulsed. A second attack was made by McNeil on the train, just north of the ford at the branch, capturing trains, teamsters, wagons and four men of Company A. January I, 1863, the regiment moved to Winchester, and with the Onehundred-and-tenth Ohio, garrisoned that town. March 14, some changes were made. Milroy's division became the Second division, Eighth army corps, and the four regiments that constituted the Second brigade of the old division, were organized into the First brigade of the division, with the addition of Carlin's battery and some cavalry, under the command of Gen. Elliott. For some time the regiment was engaged on scouting expeditions. The One-hundred-and-twenty-second was ordered up ( during Gen. Hooker's movement on Chancellorsville) the Shenandoah valley to capture, Staunton. The expedition advanced as far as New Market, when it was ordered back to Winchester. June 13, a part of the regiment met Gen. Stewart's raid on the Strasburg road and were repulsed. The following day, the entire regiment was engaged, and succeeded in forcing through the enemy's lines and moved to Harper's Ferry. It had several men and officers captured, some of whom were not exchanged until April, 1865. Upon the evacuation of Maryland heights, the regiment moved through Washington to Georgetown, and thence on to Frederick, and was assigned to Second brigade, Third division, Third army corps. The brigade at once took part in the operations against the army of Lee. After considerable marching and counter-marching, it went into camp August 1, on the Rappahannock. Subsequently it was ordered to New York city to assist in suppressing the riots. In September it rejoined the brigade on the Rappahannock and marched to Culpeper Courthouse. During the fight at Winchester, about 100 of the regiment became separated from the regiment, and joined the Onehundred-and-sixteenth Ohio, in their march to Cumberland gap and Bloody run. Subsequently this command formed a part of the garrison at Martinsburg. They returned to their regiment at Culpeper during the latter part of September. The next action of the regiment was at Brandy station, November 8. On the 26th it crossed the Rapidan and was in action at Orange grove, or Mine run.   Returning to Brandy station, December 3, it went into winter quarters on the farm of J. Minor Botts. March, 1864, the Third division was assigned to the Sixth army corps. The One-hundred-and-twenty-second broke camp May 4, and on the following day, with the brigade, it marched out to take part in the battle of the Wilderness. In this battle the regiment conducted itself nobly, and lost the first day, 12o men. It took an active part in all the subsequent movements in this memorable campaign. It was in action at Spottsylvania, then the North Anna, and across the Pamunky, it performed heroic service, and was under fire almost constantly. At Totopotamy creek the regiment was placed on the skirmish line, and aided in the capture of the rifle-pits of the enemy. Its next engagement was at Cold Harbor, where it took a prominent part, and lost heavily. From there it marched to Jones' bridge, on the Chickahominy, thence to Charles' City and Wilcox's landing, on the James. From there it ascended the river, and reported to General Butler, at Bermuda Hundred. From there it crossed the Appomattox, and moved up to the lines in front of Petersburg, and later it was put in position on the extreme left. It was in the action on the Weldon railroad, June 22d and 23d, which was again taken by the enemy. On the 29th, it was on the expedition to Ream's station, destroying the railroad. July 6, it moved in steamers with its command, via Fortress Monroe and the Chesapeake, to Baltimore. On this trip the regiment was divided, and owing to an accident a part of it did not arrive until July 9, when it, with the Sixth Maryland, and Sixty-seventh Pennsylvania, started by rail to Frederick. During this day the other half, with the remainder of the division, fought the battle of Monocacy junction. The other force arrived in time to cover the retreat, and the Third division moved on to Ellicott's mills, and from there by rail to Baltimore. From there it went to Washington, thence through Tenallytown across the Potomac, joining its corps near Leesburg. The regiment joined in an action at Snicker's Gap, against General Early, following him to Berryville; then returned to Tenallytown. Its next move was to Harper's Ferry, via Rockville and Monocacy junction. July 30, the army crossed the Potomac, and concentrated near the junction. The regiment had then a little rest for the first time. since the campaign opened. August 7, the army moved to Halltown, thence via Clifton, Berry-   134 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.   ville andNewton to the front of Early's command, at Fisher's Hill. After much marching, manoeuvering and many skirmishes, the Sixth corps formed for battle about two miles east of Winchester. The One-hundred-and-twenty-second in this engagement bore a distinguished part. By daylight the next morning the Union forces were after Early, and by mid-day came up with him, and a lively battle followed. The regiment pursued the enemy as far as Mount Crawford, then returned to Strasburg, where it rested; then moved on toward Alexandria. As the head of the column was approaching the Shenandoah, opposite Ashley's gap, it received an order to return to Cedar creek, that "Early was coming down again." October 14, the Sixth corps was along the hills bordering Cedar creek. October 19 came on the battle of Cedar creek, in which the One-hundred-and-twenty-second was an important factor, and took part in following Early across the stream. General Sheridan's army went into cantonments near Kernstow, November 1o, and December 3 the Sixth corps moved by rail to Washington, where it embarked for City Point. Later it was in position in front of Petersburg, a little way west of the Weldon railroad.   January 5, 1865, it moved with its corps to the left, when Grant extended his lines out beyond. Hatcher's Run, and was assigned to position near Fort Fisher, March 25, with the brigade, the regiment captured and held the enemy's picket-trenches. At 4 o'clock A. M. April 2, the Sixth corps advanced against the enemy and drove them from their fortifications. Following in pursuit the Sixth carps met Gen. Lee's fleeing army with the One-hundred-and-twenty-second on the skirmish line, and broke the Rebel columns. It continued in the march against the retreating hosts of the fast tumbling Confederacy and was present at its final fall at Appomattox. It returned to Washington in June and was reviewed by the President and his cabinet. It was mustered out July 26 and was sent to Columbus, Ohio, where it was paid off and discharged. It went into the war with 927 men, received many recruits and cane out with 585, and with the honored name of a gallant, brave and fighting regiment.   One-Hundred-and-Fifty-Ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry.—This regiment was organized at Zanesville, Ohio, May 9 and 10, 1864, and was mustered into the United States service for 100 days. It was composed of the Eleventh regiment, Ohio National Guard, from Muskingum, county, and the Seventy-third battalion, Ohio National Guard, from Fairfield county. The regimental officers were: Lyman J. Jackson, colonel; Horace D. Munson, lieutenant colonel; Wm. S. Harlan; major; Robert Chambers, surgeon; Albert W. Train, adjutant; Henry Lillibridge, quartermaster; Joseph H. Moore, chaplain, and Albert A.

Lew Wallace, and was assigned to Brig-Gen. Kenly's command. Four companies were detailed on guard duty at Camp Bradford, Baltimore, where they remained during their term of service. One company performed provost guard duty in Baltimore, another was detailed at Patterson Park Hospital, and the remaining companies were. on detailed duty, guarding bridges on the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore railroad. At the time of the Rebel invasion, 100 men from the regiment were mounted and participated in the battle of Monocacy junction, July 9, and the skirmishes incident thereto. July 12, companies B, E, G and I, with other troops, moved on an expedition to Pikesville, against the Rebels. July 28, four companies of the regiment were stationed at Havre de Grace, where they had charge of the railroad. August 13, its term of service having expired it was discharged and sent home. It arrived at Zanesville, August 17, and was mustered out on August 24, 1864.   One-Hundred-and Sixteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry.—This regiment was organized at Zanesville, Ohio, May 12, 13 and 14, 1864, to serve for one hundred days. It was made up of the Fifty-third battalion, Ohio National Guard, from Perry county; Ninety-first battalion, Ohio National Guard, from Muskingum county, and a part of the Seventy-third Ohio National Guard, from Fairfield county. It was mustered into the United States service at Zanesville, May 12, 1864, and was immediately placed enroute to Harper's Ferry. Its first duty was to guard supply trains to Martinsburg, W. Va. On its return it was placed in the First brigade, First division, of General Hunter's army, and on the morning of the 25th of May it moved out to- Woodstock, W. Va., with the command. It then moved toward the front, but on the way was again detached and sent back to guard and take charge of a supply train at Martinsburg. At Middletown the regiment met Mosby's guerillas and had a skirmish with them. From this time until the close of its service, it was occupied almost continually in marching   HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 135   and counter-marching through the Shenandoah Valley, during which time it was engaged in a number of skirmishes. August 25, the regiment started for home and arrived at Zanesville on the 29th. At the expiration of its term of service, August 29, 1864, it was mustered out.   One-Hundred-and-Seventy-eighth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. This regiment was organized at Camp Chase, September 26, 1864, to serve one year. Companies A and F were partly made up from Muskingum county.. Under command of Col. Joab A. Stafford, it started by rail and water for Nashville, under orders to report to Gen. George H. Thomas for duty. It remained in Nashville about two weeks, performing guard duty, when it was ordered to Tullahoma, Tenn., when it formed a part of the post command. The post was evacuated during the winter of 1864-5, and the One-hundred-and-seventy -eighth was sent to Murfreeboro, where it it remained during the siege. After the defeat of General Hood's army, at Nashville, the regiment was ordered to North Carolina. It landed at Morehead City with the Twenty-third army corps, and later took part in the action at Wise's fork against Gen. Johnston's forces. After the surrender of Johnston, the regiment was ordered to Charlotte, N. C., for garrison duty. It remained there until it was mustered out June 29, 1865.
