It is known that as far back as 1825 Colonel Erastus Hoskins commanded the second regiment of the then Morgan County militia, and no doubt at later dates the region now known as Noble County had other military commanders of equally high rank. But their day is past and gone and now their positions seem to have been of trivial importance. Yet there is no doubt that the old-time military organizations served a good purpose, and gave to their members a crude but useful knowledge of military tactics. But before the County of Noble came into being the old-fashioned training days and general musters had ceased to evoke enthusiasm, and the militia no longer indulged in brave displays and sham battles But the military spirit, though dormant, was not dead, and the year 1861 found the fires of patriotism blazing brightly. In a brief time after the receipt of the news that Sumpter had been fired upon in April, 1861, companies were forming in Noble County in response to the proclamations of the president and governor. Thenceforth, until the close of the War, the soldiers of Noble County were always found in their place, doing their duties bravely and well. To recount fully their toils and sufferings, their marches and battles, would be to write a history of the war; and the story would require volumes instead of pages, Therefore we make mention of only some of the most important events in which the soldiers of the county participated, by giving briefly an account of each regiment in which any considerable number of Noble County NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR - 215 men were included. On this subject "Ohio in the War" has been our authority, and from its pages have been condensed a great part of the memoranda of regimental move ments which follow. 25TH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. Summerfield, then the chief town of Noble County, had the honor of organizing and sending forth to battle for the Union the first company of soldiers raised for the rebellion in in the County of Noble. Company I, Twenty-fifth Ohio, was raised in Noble County, and composed of parts of three companies who organized for the three months service, but were not accepted. When Gov. Dennison organized the first three regiments for three years service, twenty third, twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth, one company was assigned to Noble County, and made up of the materials as above. It left Summerfield June 22, 1861, under the command of John M. Mosely, and entered the service at Camp Chase June 24th. It served with its regiment until 1863, when it re-enlisted for three years longer, and was finally mustered out June 19th, 1866, having served, lacking a few days, five years. This company with its regiment engaged the enemy at Cheat Mountain, Virginia, September 12, 1861; Greenbrier, October 3rd; Allegheny Mountain, December 12th; Huntersville, January 2, 1862; Monterey, April 22d ; Bull Pasture Mountain, May 8th ; Franklin, May 10th; Strasburg, June 4th ; Cross Keys, June 8th ; Cedar Mountain, August 10th; Freeman's Ford, August 22nd ; Waterloo Bridge, August 24th; Bull Run, August 29th and 30th; Burnside's attack on Fredericksburgh, but in the reserve ; Chancellorsville, May 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 1863 ; Gettysburg, July 1st, '2nd, 3rd, and 4th ; Hagerstown, July 12th; Siege of Morris Island, South Carolina, August 23d, and lasting three weeks ; Honey Hill, November 30th, 1864 ; Devaux Neck, December 6th ; Indian Hill, December 9th ; Cockle Creek, February 10, 1865 ; Combahee Ferry, February 12th ; Ashapoo Ferry, February 14th; Dingle's Mill, April 9th ; Red Hill, April 15th ; Deep Swamp, April 16th; Beach Run, April 17th; Swift Creek, April 18th; and Statesburg April 19th. Several of these latter engagements, were after the Appomattox surrender. After the surrender the regiment did patrol duty in the Edgefield, Hamburg, Columbia and other South Carolina Districts, until it was mustered out. In the engagements the company had ,15 men killed outright, 78 wounded, one third of whom died from their injuries ; 21 names are carried on the rolls as missing, one-half of whom were never heard of, and presumably died on battlefield or in prison pen; thirty-five died from various diseases, and five are carried on the rolls as deserters. The company was recruited up from time to time, and during its existence as an organization had three captains, four first lieutenants, four second lieutenants, twenty-eight 'sergeants. thirty-four corporals, and 167 rank 216 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. and file.

The Twenty-sixth Ohio was organized at Camp Chase, in July, 1861, and was recruited from the counties of Butler, Ross, Delaware, Guernsey, Noble, Mahoning, Champaign, Sciota and Madison. Edward P. Fyffe was made colonel of the regiment. It performed its first Service in the upper Kanawha Valley, where it NOBLE COUNTY 1N THE WAR - 221 remained until January, chiefly engaged in scouting duty. Transferred soon after to the Department of the Ohio (soon named the Department of the Cumberland), it was placed in Brigadier-General T. J, Wood's division, of which it continued a part until October, 1863, when it became a part of Wagner's Brigade, of Sheridan's division of the Fourth Corps. The regiment formed a part of the column of advance on Nashville, and shared the hardships of General Buell's army in its advance to relieve General Grant at Pittsburgh Landing. From the Tennessee to the Ohio, and thence to Cumberland Gap, in the Fall of 1862, the regiment did its whole duty in the forced marches of Buell and Bragg. It participated in the engagements of Murfreesboro, Stone River (where it lost one-third of its men), Tullahoma, Shelbyville, Chattanooga, Chickamauga (where nearly three-fifths of its men engaged were either killed or wounded), Mission Ridge and Lookout Mountain, and the siege of Knoxville. "This (Knoxville) campaign proved to be the most severe of any yet experienced. They marched barefooted over frozen ground, and bivouacked without shelter in midwinter, clad in summer dress, with half rations, on the desolate and dreary hillsides of east. Tennessee. Yet, even then, with elbows out, pants worn half way to the knees, socks and shirts gone to shreds, hungry and shivering, in the bitter cold of January 1, 1864, the Twenty-sixth, almost to a man, re- enlisted for three years more." After its furlough, the regiment rejoined the Fourth Corps at Bridgeport, Tenn., and thence took part in Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. participating in the battles at Resaca, Kenesaw, Peach-Tree Creek, Jonesboro, and others less important. At Franklin and Nashville it maintained its well won reputation for valor. Sent south to Texas, it was mustered out of the service Oct. 21, 1865. COMPANY F.

The Thirty-Sixth Ohio was organized at Camp Putnam, Marietta, in August, 1861. Its first officers were Melvin Clarke, Esq., of Marietta, lieutenant-colonel, and Prof. E. B. Andrews, major. For colonel, an effort was made to secure a man of extensive military knowledge, and Such an officer was at last secured in George Crook, then a captain in the regular army. He assumed command September 12, 1861. Prior to that time six companies in charge of Major A. J. Simmer, then of General Rosecrans' staff, had marched through several counties of Western Virginia to stop the depredations of guerrillas. The other four companies remained at Parkersburg, uniting with the rest under Colonel Crook, at. Summerville. There the regiment remained and drilled through the winter, and during their expeditions had several skirmishes with the guerrillas. The regiment suffered much from sickness during this period. May 12, 1862, the regiment started for LewiSburg, Greenbrier County, and was there brigaded with the Forty-fourth Ohio and a battalion of the Second West Virginia cavalry. From Lewisburg, Colonel Crook and his brigade made an expedition through, returning to Lewisburg. Then on the 23d General Beth, with from two thousand five hundred to three thousand men attacked the brigage, shelling their camp. The Thirty-sixth and the Forty-fourth, containing in the aggregate not more than one thousand two hundred effective men, were ordered to repel the attack, and did so so successfully that the rebels left upon the field sixty killed. one hundred and seventy-five prisoners, four pieces of artillery and three hundred stand of small arms. The Thirty- sixth lost seven killed, forty-four Wounded and five captured on picket. This victory, won without, artillery or the aid of the cavalry, was quickly and gloriously won. Moving back to Meadow Bluffs 'on the 29th of May, the brigade was there joined by the Forty-seventh Ohio, and went in pursuit of General Heth, but did not find him. The regiment remained with the brigade in Western and Eastern Virginia until September, On the 12th of. that month it reached Frederick, Md., in advance of the rest of McClellan's army, had a skirmish with Stewart's cavalry and on the 14th the brigade was actively engaged at South Mountain, making a memorable bayonet charge, scattering and routing the enemy from that part of the field. The Thirty- sixth lost several men, being for a NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR - 229 time exposed to an enfilading fire. Three days later the regiment was in the battle of Antietam, forming a part of Burnside's force on the left. Here- Colonel Clarke was instantly killed by a ten-pound shell, and Lieutenant-Colonel Andrews succeeded in command. After the battle the regiment remained in Maryland for a time, and in October was ordered with the brigade to West Virginia. Encamping at Charleston November 16, it remained there nearly three months. Jan. 23,1863, the Thirty-Sixth embarked Nashville, to join the army of Gen. Rosecrans. A few days after its arrival, the Thirty-sixth, together with the Eleventh and Ninety-second Ohio, all under Gen. Crook, was ordered up the Cumberland River to Carthage. In June the brigade marched for Murfreesboro, and was there attached to Major-General Reynold's division. Proceeding South with the army, it was in the fight at Chickamauga, where the Thirty-sixth sustained the loss of seventy gallant soldiers, among them Colonel W. G. Jones, who had succeeded Colonel Andrews in command. The regiment. was concerned in the operations about Chattanooga, including the capture of Brown's Ferry., and on the 25th of November was in the battle of Mission Ridge, when it lost eighty-three men. Re-enlisting in March, 1864, after the expiration of the furlough, the Thirty-sixth returned to its old camping ground at Charleston, W. Va. Thence the brigade, in command of General Crook, made a successful raid to Dublin. Depot, during which occurred an engagement at Cloyd's Mountain. After destroying a large amount of railroad and rebel government property, the expedition turned back to Meadow Bluff, and soon after arriving there was ordered to join General Hunter in the Shenandoah Valley. In the ensuing months the regiment experienced a good deal of hard marching, did some skirmishing, and burned and destroyed much rebel property. Retreating from Lynchburg before Early, the expedition arrived back at Charleston on the Kanawha in July, in a badly demoralized condition— half starved and broken down. From Charleston to Parkersburg by boat and thence by rail the troops again returned to the Shenandoah Valley. July 19th at Kernstown, near Winchester, the division encountered the enemy and lost one hundred and fifty men. Then, for the first and only time in its history, the Thirty-sixth turned itS back to the enemy, and, with the rest of the division, retreated in disorder. It had retreated before, but always in good order. Subsequent operations in the Valley in which the Thirty-sixth had a conspicuous part were engagements at Berryville, September 3; Opequon, September 19; and a surprise at Cedar Creek in which the Nationals were first routed, then the Confederates. The Thirty-sixth remained in the Valley until December. It was then ordered to Cumberland, Md., and there consolidated with the Thirty- fourth Ohio. In Apri1, 1865, the consolidated regiment. was ordered back to Winchester, and thence to Staunton. 230 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO.

The Twentieth Regiment, first organized as a three months' regiment, contained after its re-organization a company (Captain Shacklee's) composed principally of Noble County men. The re-organization took place at Camp King, near Covington, Ky,, October 21, 1861, under the command of Colonel Charles Whittlesey, a graduate of West Point. During the following winter the regiment was employed in guarding batteries near Covington and Newport. During this time four companies were sent to the vicinity of Warsaw, Ky., and February 11, 1862, all of the regiment, except Co. K, embarked for the Cumberland River. Fort Donelson was the first battle in which it parti cipated. After the surrender of the fort, the Twentieth was sent north in charge of prisoners. By March 16, seven companies had been brought together, and were sent up the Tennessee River. In April it participated in the battle of Pittsburgh Landing, at which place it remained, suffering much from sickness, during the advance on Corinth. Subsequently the regiment, served at Bolivar and Inka, and December 4, entered Ox- NOBLE COUNTY 1N THE WAR - 231 ford, Miss., in the second brigade of Logan's division. After the capture of Holly Springs, it turned north, arriving at Memphis, January 28, 1863, where it received 200 recruits and drafted men. Next serving in Louisiana and Mississippi, May 12th, it took part in an engagement at Raymond, Miss., in which it lost twelve killed and fifty-two wounded. At Champion Hills it was in the thickest of the fight. It was next employed about Vicksburg, in the Yazoo Valley, at Jackson, etc. In January, 1864, two-thirds of the men present re-enlisted, and in February they joined the Meridian expedition, returning to Vicksburg, March 4. The regiment went north on a veteran furlough, rendezvoused at Camp Dennison, May 1, and proceeded to Cairo, Ill., thence to Clifton, Tenn. Marching thence, it joined General Sherman at Ackworth, June 9th. Thenceforth it was with Sherman's army in the Atlanta and Carolina campaigns, and July 18, 1865, ',vas mustered out of service at Columbus, Ohio. COMPANY I, 20TH REGIMENT O. V. I. OFFICERS.

Pond, was organized at Camp Goddard, Zanesville, Ohio, in November, 1801, and. remained in camp until the latter part of January, 1862. It was then ordered to report to General Rosecrans, commanding in Western Virginia. February 3 the regiment encamped at Great Cacapon Creek; March 10, moved thence to Martinsburg, and thence to Winchester.. It took part in the battle at the latter place, and in the pursuit of the flying enemy as far as Strasburg. In April and May it was encamped at Edinburgh and Newmarket. May 12 the regiment began a toilsome march through the mountains, via Swift's Gap, Cheat Gap, and Warrenton, to Falmouth. At the latter place, May 25, it was reviewed by the President and Generals Shields and McDowell. Ordered thence to Western Virginia again, the regiment marched through Catlett's Station, Manassas Junction, Haymarket, Rectortown, Front Royal, Luray and Columbia Bridge, where it arrived June 5. The same day the Sixty-second made a forced march to a point within five miles of Port Republic, where the advance brigades met the enemy under Stonewall Jackson, and after a fierce struggle of several hours, were compelled to retreat and return to Columbia Bridge and Luray. June 16 it marched to Front Royal, and on the 20th resumed the march through the mountains via Manassas Gap, arriving at Alexandria. June 28. Sailing for Fortress Monroe June 30, it was taken thence to Harrison's Landing and set to picket- duty, which it continued to perform until August 15. The Sixty-second saw some skirmishing meantime but no heavy fighting. It moved down the peninsula in the retreat of Yorktown and Fortress Monroe and thence to Suffolk, remaining in that vicinity until December 31. The regiment moved thence to Norfolk, and January 4, 1863, by transports, to Beaufort, N. C., and by rail to Newbern. It was next at Port Royal, St. Helena's Island, Coal Island and Folly Island, successively ; April 7, at Morris Island, where the enemy were driven into their entrenchments, with great loss. July 18, 1863, in the assault on Fort Wagner the Sixty-second lost one hundred and fifty men killed, wounded and missing, including several of its gallant officers. The regiment behaved very gallantly. It also took part in the siege of Charleston, from July 10 to October 31, then returned to Folly Island. November 5, it moved to Hilton Head. In January 1864, the troops re- enlisted and were given a veteran furlough. March 3, 1864, the Sixty-second was at Washington, D. C., whence it was immediately sent to the front near Petersburg, Va. From this time onward the Sixty- second was concerned in the operations that raged about the lines 234 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. of the rebel capital. May 9 and 10 it was hotly engaged and lost heavily. May 20, a portion of the lines having fallen into the hands of the enemy, the Sixty-second was delegated to retake the ground; a desperate charge ensued and the regiment lost heavily, but gained possession of the enemy's rifle pits: During the spring, Summer and fall of 1864, the Sixty-second was almost constantly encountering the enemy and drawing his fire. For weeks at a time the men dared not throw off their accouterments. In the spring of 1865, the Sixty-second took part in the operations below Petersburg. April 2, it was one of the foremost regiments in the assault on Fort Gregg. It also took part at Appomattox. About the first of September, 1865, it was consolidated with the Sixty-seventh Ohio, which was mustered out in December. COMPANY H, 62D O. V. I. Jacob L. Gregg, 21, e. Aug. 21, 1862; dis.

Companies A, B, C and D were mustered into the service September 25, 1861; the remaining companies at different dates later, the regimental organization being com pleted November 26. James A. Garfield was the first colonel of the regiment, and was succeeded in March, 1862, by Colonel L. A. Sheldon. Company D, of the Forty-second, was raised in Noble County. The following history of the company was written by Dr. R. Stephenson : " The company was raised at Summerfield, in September, 1861 ; joined the Forty-second Regiment as Company D, September 25,commanded by James A.Garfield. Went up the Sandy Valley and met the enemy at Middle Creek, January 10, 1862, drove him from the field, inflicting heavy loss and clearing the valley of rebels ; fought the battle of Pound Gap, March 15, NOBLE COUNTY 1N THE WAR - 237 1862, ridding the valley of the last of the guerrillas that had infested this locality for some time. We then marched back to Piketown, from thence by foot to the mouth of the Big Sandy River ; took boats there for Louisville, Ky., and thence by rail to Lexington, marched to Cumberland Ford, where we found it impossible to attack Cumberland Gap from that side, and so marched over into Powell's Valley in rear of the Gap, which place we captured June 18, 1862. During the summer we garrisoned this place and fortified it fully, having often to go out on scouting expeditions to suppress the bushwackers that infested that region. While out foraging near Tazerville we had a severe engagement with the advance of Bragg and Kirby Smith's army, August 3 and 4, 1862, but succeeded in bringing in 200 wagons loaded with the much-needed provisions for our starving army, which was compelled to evacuate Cumberland Gap in September, and marched to the Ohio River, near Greensburg, Ky., arriving October 3, the hungriest and raggedest set of Yankees loose in Dixie. This was the most severe service that we had. After getting rested we then went up the Big Kanawha River, and assisted in driving the Johnnies out of the valley, marched down to Point Pleasant, took the boats for Memphis, where we joined the fleet and arrived at Chickasaw, Bluffs, on the Yazoo River, Christmas day, proceeded to get the worst drubbing we ever got. In the charge on the Bluffs, one brigade, Colonel DeCouray's, was almost annihilated, and the Forty-second covered the retreat gallantly, General Sherman to the contrary, notwithstanding. "We got out though, and went to Arkansas Post, where we surrounded and took in the Johnnies, officers, mules, and all, about 9,000 of them, then to Young's Point, opposite Vicksburg, where -we `mudded' it until spring, and then started on the campaign in rear of Vicksburg. Fought the battle of Grand Gulf, April 29, marched down opposite Bruinsburg, crossed the river, marched to Thompson's Hill, where we fought on May 1, and won the first score in rear of Vicksburg. Next, at Fourteen-Mile Creek, we had a set-to with the Johnnies, but on May 10, at Champion Hill, was fought one of the closely contested battles of the war ; next day we climbed their works, at Black. River bridge, and on the 19th invested the city of Vicksburg, and opened our cracker line to our great relief, as our five days' rations got mighty thin by this time; here we played Gopher, and swapped lead until the 4th day of July, when the Johnnies cried enough ; then we Marched to Jackson, and after a week's fighting there, Joe Johnston, like the Arab, folded his tent and silently stole away. The Thirteenth Army Corps then went to New Orleans, where Nye took in the advance to Texas, by way of the Teche Country, having several slight skirmishes with the enemy back to the town of Placquemine, which we garrisoned that winter ; this waS the only soft snap 238 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. the boys got during their term of service. In the spring we went to Baton Rouge, where on May 1 and 2 we fought the battle of Cornite River, thence to Sims' Port,where we helped Banks let the rebels go, and saved his summer's speculation, viz., trading cotton for wool. We then marched down on the Mississippi to Morganza Bend, where we spent the time in scouting and fighting the old-fashioned Gallinippers, in which battles we lost more gore than with the Johnnies. We were ordered up White River, and fortified St. Charles ; did some scouting and lots of digging until ordered down to the mouth of White River, where we lay until ordered home, in September, 1864, to be discharged. While here we had several brushes with the enemy, though mostly with bands of guerrillas that infested the river. We were sent to Todd's Barracks, where they proposed to put us down on our good behavior, but we did not have any, and the boys broke all the red tape rules, and not wishing to mix their bed bugs with our own well-beloved graybacks, we marched out and went to camp, close where we were mustered out, on September 30, 1864; arrived at Summerfield on Sunday night, where the whole county turned out to meet us, and there was only one thought to mar our happiness : the brave boys left behind. But we may feel that the result was worthy of the sacrifice, and that at the grand reunion God will so bless and keep us that every member of Company D, Forty-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry,will answer at roll-call,' Present.'

The Sixty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry Was formed by the consolidation of two battalions, known as the Twenty second and Sixty-third Regiments, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The battalion of the Twenty-second was recruited at Chillicothe ; that of the Sixty- third at Marietta. The order for consolidation was issued January 18, 1862, and the organization was completed on the 23rd of the same month, with John W. Sprague as Colonel. February 18th the regiment moved from Marietta toward Paducah, Ky. February 23rd it joined the Army of the Mississippi, at Commerce, Mo. It was put in a brigade with the Twenty-seventh, Thirty- ninth and Forty-third Ohio Regi- 241 - NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR,. ments, under Brigadier-General David S. Stanley. It took part in the operations resulting in the surrender of Island No. 10, in the siege of Corinth ; the engagements at Farmington and Iuka. " October 3rd, the regiment moved into Corinth, forming a line in the rear of the outer works on the extreme left. During the night it was placed on the right of Battery Robinett, which position it held during the battle on the following day. Before daylight on the morning of the 4th, a picket force from the regiment, moving out the Chevalla road, met the enemy advancing to place a battery. The picket drove the rebels back, capturing the captain of the battery and one gun. During the engagement which immediately followed, the regiment was much exposed, losing, in killed and wounded, forty-eight per cent of the officers and men in action. There were but three line officers that were not killed or wounded, and some of them were wounded more than once." Leaving Corinth, November 2, the regiment went to join Grant, in Mississippi. On the 5th, near Grand Junction, it was joined by the battalion of the One Hundred and Twelfth Ohio, which had been consolidated with it, and which added materially to its strength. On the 27th of December, it joined General Sullivan's command, and on the 31st was in an engagement, at Parker's Cross Roads. Repulsing the enemy, and pursuing him to the Tennessee River, the Sixty-third returned to Corinth and went into winter garters, January 9, 1863. The regiment moved in April, with General Dodge's forces, beyond Tuscumbia, Ala., thence returning to Memphis. On the 16th of May it moved to Memphis. October 18 it joined Sherman's movement for the support of the army of the Cumberland ; from Memphis to Eastport, Pulaski and Prospect, Tenn., where, it arrived November 13. Having re enlisted, the Sixty-third left Prospect, January 2, 1864, and were soon after given furloughs. Reassembling at Columbus, Ohio, February 18, it again left for the front, and was ordered to Decatur Junction, Ala. It took an active part in the capture of Decatur ; was in the battle of Resaca, May 14 ; at Dallas, a few days later, and in the battles at Kenesaw Mountain, Decatur and Jonesboro. It went into camp at East Point, Ga., September 10, 1864. From May to this time it had lost in action 158 men. In October it moved north across the Chattahoochee, and entered upon an arduous campaign, suffering from lack of supplies and toilsome marches. The Sixty-third was with Sherman through Georgia, from Atlanta to Savannah, and took part in all the dangers of that great campaign. January 5, 1865, it left Savannah for Beaufort, S. C., and served in the Carolinas until after Johnston's surrender. May 19th it went into camp at Alexandria, Va., and on the 24th was reviewed by the President, General Grant, and others. The regiment was finally mustered out at Louisville, Ky., July 8, 1865, and 242 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. by authority of general orders was entitled to inscribe upon its banners the names of the following battles : New Madrid, Island No. 10, Julia, Corinth (Oct. 4), Atlanta and Savannah.

The Seventy-eighth was raised by M. D. Leggett, Esq., of Zanesville (who became its first colonel), under special authority from Governor Dennison. The organization was completed January 11, 1862, and February 11 the regiment left by rail for Cincinnati, whence it took passage on special steamers for Fort Donelson. It arrived too late to take part in the action, but was as- signed to the duty of caring for the rebel prisoners and stores.

Van Vorhes was commissioned colonel and B. D. Fearing lieutenant-colonel. All the officers were men of experience and courage, and the soldiers were a choice body.   The first service was performed before the regiment had been mustered, three companies, A, B and D, being ordered to garrison Gallipolis while the rebels were driving Lightburn out of the Kanawha Valley, and while there made two expeditions into Virginia. The regiment was soon after mustered, numbering 949, rank and file. October 7 it was ordered to Point Pleasant, Va., and soon after to the Kanawha valley, where it took part in the expedition that drove the rebels out of the valley. In January, 1863, it moved from the Kanawha to Nashville, and there, with Crook's brigade, was ordered to Carthage, Tenn., Feb. 17. Crowded upon miserable transports and many of the men compelled to sleep in the hold, many sickened and   PICTURE OF CAPT. JOHN BROWN   NOBLE COUNTY 1N THE WAR - 249   died upon the way. After fruitlessly chasing Morgan the regiment joined the army at Murfreesboro, June 24; at Hoover's Gap it took part in its first important engagement.   September the 19th and 20th the Ninety-second was in the heat of the fight at Chickamauga, forming a part of the rear guard that helped to save the army. On the 19th Colonel Fearing was wounded and carried from the field, and on the same day Captains Putnam and Brown and Lieutenant Okey were severely wounded. Captain Brown's wound proved mortal. During the siege of Chattanooga the Ninety-second endured great sufferings and trials, participating in several important movements. At Mission Ridge it was in the fight, behaving most bravely and losing many men. After ending the pursuit of the retreating enemy, the Ninety-second returned to Chattanooga, where it remained on active duty until February 22, 1864, when it was ordered with its brigade (Turchins) to Dallas, Ga. At Rocky Face Gap there was a fierce struggle with the enemy in which the regiment lost heavily. Going into camp at Ringgold Gap, the Ninety-second with its division did outpost duty until the opening of the spring campaign. May 7 it moved to Buzzard's Roost, Ga., and thence toward Resaca, which it reached on the 16th, encountering some sharp skirmishing. Following the retreating rebels south of the Etowah, the regiment and brigade returned and rejoined the division near Dallas, Ga., where it performed guard duty until June 11. A few days later saw the enemy driven from their last line of works on the north side of Kenesaw Mountain, and June 19 and 20 the regiment took an active part in forcing the enemy from the valley. July 3 the regiment pursued the enemy through Marietta, Ga., forcing him from a position hear that place, and taking an active part later in compelling him to abandon all territory north of the Chattahoochee. In the Atlanta campaign the regiment sustained its reputation for gallantry and bravery, sharing in the glory gained by the Fourteenth Army Corps at Jonesboro, and the arduous marches in pursuit of Hood. It participated in the " march to the sea," the campaign in the Carolinas, and finally returned north to Washington, where May 24, 1865, it participated in the grand review. June 19, 1865, it was mustered. out at Columbus, Ohio, having won an illustrious name as a, "fighting regiment."   COMPANY D, 92D O. V.
