It was mustered into service as Company I, of the Second regiment, for the period of one year. It is stated that upon the expiration of its term of service this company returned to Chillicothe, where many of the members re- enlisted. The company became Company K, of the Fifth regiment—Captain, George F. McGinnis; Lieutenants, J. W. Mariott and N. W. Parker; First Sergeant, Richard J. Gardner; Sergeant, L. S. Hitchens.

At the battle of San Francisco, February 24, 1847, Lieutenant Stewart performed acts of bravery, for which he was, by the congress of the United States, voted a gold-mounted sword, and made a lieutenant' in the regular army of the United States. The writer has been unable to procure a roster of this company. THE WAR OF THE REBELLION. In the following rosters the names are copied verbatim from the rolls on file in the office of the adjutant general of Ohio, and the writer cannot be responsible for errors in spelling. Numerous military men in both Ross and Highland counties have been consulted, personally and by letter, and the writer believes no names are omitted, except those who are reported as deserters. The histories of regiments and organizations are compiled, mainly, from "Ohio in the War," by Whitelaw Reid, which the writer believes to be standard authority. TWELFTH REGIMENT, OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. This regiment was organized, under the call for seventy-five thousand three-months' troops, at Camp Jackson, May 3, 1861. Three days later it moved to Camp Dennison, where it re-enlisted, and on June 28th subsequent was mustered into the service for three years.

On June i6th it destroyed the railroad between Liberty and Lynchburg, and burned several bridges. The next day it met the enemy in force at Quaker Church. The Twelfth and Ninety-first Ohio regiments charged and drove the enemy back in disorder. The Twelfth captured a number of prisoners, and lost eight killed and eleven wounded. From here it marched northward, and arrived at Camp Piatt, on the Kanawha, June 29th. July zd the regiment was ordered to Columbus, Ohio, where it was mustered out of service July r 1, 1864.

The organization of this regiment was begun at Camp Wool, Athens, Ohio, in August, 1861, and completed at Camp Dennison, Ohio, the fourth of November, following. Three days later it reported to General Sherman, at Louisville, Kentucky, and was assigned to General 0. M. Mitchel's division, of the army of the Ohio, and on February 7, 1862, it moved with him in his brilliant campaign south, to Bowling Green, Nashville, and Huntsville, Alabama, doing effective work on the way. It was next engaged at Stone River, and here it did noble work, and at Chickamauga it was in the thickest of the fight. On November 9, 1864, a portion of the men became veterans and the remainder were mustered out. Prior to leaving Chattanooga the detachment of the First, Second, Eighteenth, Twenty-fourth, and Thirtyfiifth Ohio regiments remaining in service in accordance with general order number eighty-six, were formed into a regiment, and designated the Eighteenth, and on December 6, 1864, was in the front line at the battle of Nashville, and on the sixteenth it took part in the bloody affair at Overton Hill. The point was carried, but with fearful loss. The regiment's killed and wounded, was seventy-nine out of less than two hundred, and at night, in a drenching rain, without blankets, the men bivouacked in din of battle. Attached to General Steedman's command, the regiment followed Hood's defeated forces to Huntsville, and assisted in the capture of Decatur. Chattanooga was reached on January fo, 1865, and here the regiment went into camp, and was reorganized during the winter months. After engaging in several expeditions into east Tennessee, the regiment returned to Chattanooga, where it remained until October 9, 1865, when it started for Columbus, Ohio, reaching that point on the twenty- second of the same month, it was discharged the service.

This regiment was one of the offshoots of the appoint ment of General Fremont to the command of the western department. It was organized at Benton barracks, near St. Louis, Missouri, and mustered into the service November 5, 1861. Although officered by Ohio men, and its ranks filled mainly from the "Buckeye State," it was denominated the Thirteenth Missouri volunteer infantry. It entered the field January 27, 1862, with four field officers and eight captains from Ohio. It first moved to Cairo, Illinois, and thence to Smithfield, Kentucky, where it joined the investing force against Fort Henry. Next, at Fort Donaldson, it did effective work, and a short time after its surrender the regiment moved to Pittsburgh Landing. Here it was hotly engaged, and lost eighty-nine officers and men killed and wounded. It was at Shiloh, and in the advance on Corinth. July 7, 1862, the regiment was assigned to Ohio, and designated the Twenty-second, and for many months the regiment was engaged in marches, scouts and garrison duty. March I f, 1863, the regiment reported to Jackson, Tennessee. June 1st it moved to Haines' Bluff, on the Yazoo river, where it engaged in fortifying until July 16th, when it received orders to report to Helena, Arkansas. Here it remained until August 13th, when it marched with the army for Little Rock, which it occupied, with but little opposition, on September loth. October 28th, it proceeded to Brownsville, Arkansas, and engaged in guarding the railroad, and here it remained nearly one year, the monotony of the service being relieved by occasional dashes after guerrillas. These outlaws and murderers scrupled at nothing in the way of cruelty and outrage, and it is said the regiment did not bring in any prisoners. February, 1864, a portion of the regiment re-enlisted, and on October 26, 1864, orders were received for the remainder of the regiment to report to Camp Dennison, Ohio, for muster out. It arrived there in November, and was mustered out of service on the eighteenth of that month, 1864. (FORMERLY THE THIRTEENTH MISSOURI INFANTRY VOLUNTEERS.)-COMPANY G.

This regiment was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, in June, 1861, and was commanded at one time by Colonel R. B. Hayes, now president of the United States. It was mustered into the service on June r 1, 1861, and moved to Clarksburg, West Virginia, July 25th. As the men, whose names occur in the following roster were mainly recruited in 1864, the history of the regiment will begin with that year, though much gallant fighting was performed before that date. April 29, 1864, the regiment joined in a movement with General Crook, making a raid on the Virginia & Tennessee railroad, and on May 9th, it participated in the battle of Cloyd mountain, doing glorious work. Afterward it continued to march, skirmishing on the way, to Staunton ; here it joined General Hunter's command, on June 8th, and from this point the men who did not re-enlist, were sent to Ohio to be mustered out. June loth the march was resumed. June 27th a supply train was met on Big Sewell mountain. Of this event an officer of the regiment says: "Men all crazy. Stopped and ate; marched and ate. Camped about dark, and ate all night. Marched one hundred and eighty miles in the last nine days, fighting nearly all the time, and with very little to eat." The column reached Charlestown July 1st, and nine days later embarked, via Parkersburg for Martinsburg. At Snicker's Ferry the regiment was entirely surrounded by two divisions of the enemy's cavalry, but it fought its way out and joined General Crook at Winchester. In the engagement at this point, on July 24th, the regiment lost one hundred and fifty-three men; then on, marching, counter-marching, and fighting, we find the regiment successively at Front Royal, Halltown, Berryville, Opequan (here the fighting was terrible), North Mountain, and Cedar Creek (here the dashing Sheridan made his great ride and saved the day. Space alone forbids our given this thrilling episode in full). October 7th the regiment was at Martinsburg, November i3th at Winchester. January I, 1865, it moved to Cumberland, and here Colonel Hayes was promoted to the rank of brigadier general. January 12th it reach Grafton. The collapse of the Confederacy followed, and on July 26, 1865, the regiment was mustered out, moved by rail to Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, Ohio, where it was paid and discharged. COMPANY B.

The regiment left Camp Chase on July 26, 1861, and reached Cheat Mountain Summit, Virginia, August 14th, and here it received its first lesson in the art of war. It was next engaged at Greenbrier, and on November i8th it moved to Louisville, Kentucky, and from there it moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where it arrived on February 25, 1862. March 17th it marched for Savannah and Pittsburgh Landing, and it was hotly engaged at the last named point. It took part in nearly all of the skirmishes towards Corinth. In September it returned to Louisville, and was engaged in the battle of Perryville. In December, 1862, it joined General Rosecrans' advance, and was engaged at Stone River, where it suffered fearfully, losing one-fourth of the whole number engaged. Next it was engaged at Woodbury, Tennessee, Lookout Mountain, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, Taylor's Ridge, and Dalton.

At Stone River the battle-axe was shot from the staff, and two balls passed through the staff. The holes made by twenty-three distinct bullets at Stone River may be seen in the flag itself, together with many more received on other occasions.

Two of them were killed at Stone River, within five minutes of each other, and one at Chickamauga. COMPANY I. Mustered into service June 14, 1861, at Hillsborough, Ohio.

As soon as the organization was completed, the regiment was ordered to the Upper Kanawha valley, where it performed its first service, which was largely severe scouting duty. In January, 1862, it led the advance of General Rosecrans' movement on Sewell mountain, and, soon after, it was transferred to the then department of Ohio, subsequently named the department of the Cumberland, and placed in Brigadier General Thomas J. Wood's division, where it remained until October, 1863, and became a part of the Twenty-first corps. In October, 1863, it was assigned to the Second brigade, Second division, of the Fourth corps. The regiment formed a part of the column to advance on Nashville, after the capture of Fort Donelson, and was with Buell's army in its advance to Pittsburgh Landing to relieve General Grant. In the advance from Shiloh, through the swamps of northern Mississippi, the Twenty-sixth occupied the front line, and was among the first to enter Corinth. During the severe and fruitless campaign of the summer of 1862, the regiment bore its full share of the hardships. In the latter part of August, 1862, the regiment had an engagement near McMinnville, Tennessee, with Forrest's cavalry, and routed them. It was next engaged in the forced marches toward Cumberland Gap. December 26, 1862, the regiment commenced, with the army of General Rosecrans, the advance from Nashville against Murfreesborough, and at Lavergne made a gallant and successful charge, driving a large force of the enemy from a_-strong position. Later in the day, Captain Ewing, with two companies of skirmishers, charged the enemy's retreating rear-guard, drove them from and extinguished the fire of a burning bridge, to the great advantage of our advancing columns. For this gallant deed, the regiment was especially mentioned. At the battle of Stone River, the Twenty-sixth was one of several regiments which stood firm against the charge of the rebels on the 26th, when three-fourths of our army on the right had given way and were in full flight, and though, for many hours, the heavily massed columns of the enemy were hurled against them, they still stood their ground ; and the Twenty-sixth Ohio formed the apex of that little convex line of battle, that all Bragg's victorious army could not break or bend. At this time, the command lost one-third of its strength in killed and wounded. In the advance of Braggs' lines, Tullahoma and Shelbyville, the regiment bore a conspicuous part. In the advance on Chattanooga, in December, 1863, the regiment led the advance of Crittenden's corps (which first entered the place), skirmishing over the northern bluff of Lookout mountain, the subsequent scene of Hooker's memorable battle. At Chickamauga the regiment was in the thickest and bloodiest of the fight. Its loss in killed and wounded was nearly three-fifths of the number. engaged. Captain Ewing (acting major), had his horse killed under him, himself wounded, and was captured, and Lieutenant Ruley was killed. At the storming of Mission Ridge, the Twenty-sixth occupied the center of the front line of assault (Wagner's Brigade, Sheridan's division), and sustained the concentrated fire of the rebel circular line of forty cannons and thousands of muskets. The assault was made in the face of this terrible fire, and the column worked its way slowly and painfully, yet steadily and unfalteringly up the long and rugged slope of that blazing, smoking, jarring, blood-drenched, and death-laden mountain, fighting its way, step by step, HISTORY OF ROSS AND HIGHLAND COUNTIES, OHIO - 103 every minute becoming weaker, by the exhaustive outlay of strength in so prolonged a struggle, and thinner by the murderous fire of the foe from above, until, with less than half the command, with the entire color-guard disabled, the colonel, bearing his own colors, spurred his foaming and bleeding horse over the enemy's works, and they threw down their arms, abandoned their guns, and gave themselves to precipitate flight. In this action the Twenty-sixth captured about fifty prisoners and two cannons. Later in the day, it, with the Fifteenth Indiana, captured a six-gun battery, and flanked and dislodged a strong body of the enemy, who, with two heavy guns, were attempting to hold in check the National forces, until their train could be withdrawn. These guns, also, were captured. The loss of the regiment at this time was about one-fourth of its strength, in killed and wounded. Ere its dead were buried on the mountain side of Mission Ridge, the Twenty-sixth, now reduced, by two and a half years of arduous service, from one thousand to less than two hundred rifles, was Qn its way, with the Fourth corps to raise the siege at Knoxville. This campaign was the most severe of any yet experienced. They marched, barefoot, over frozen ground, and bivouacked without shelter in mid-winter, 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 r, 1864, the Twenty-sixth, almost to a man, re-enlisted for three years more. Can any one look at that picture and wonder at the "solid North" of the year A. D. 1879? Returning from its veteran furlough, the regiment joined the Fourth corps at Bridgeport, Tennessee. It marched with Sherman to Atlanta, and at Resaca, Kenesaw, Peach Tree Creek, Jonesboro, and all along the march, maintained a splendid fighting reputation. Next, it was off after the rebel general, Hood. The battle of Franklin was fought, the rebels checked, and our forces won the race into Nashville. 'Here, soon after, the two armies had a heavy engagement. We won, and the rebels, completely demoralized, were put to flight. Next, the Twenty-sixth engaged in the Texas campaign, marching across the country from Port Laraca to San Antonio, a march which will long be remembered by those who participated in it, from its disagreeable associations of intense heat, burning thirst, and the almost unbearable annoyances of mosquitoes, centipedes, and other "inhabitants" of that region. The regiment was mustered out of service at Victoria, on October 21, 1865, and immediately thereafter it was sent home to Camp Chase, paid off, and discharged. COMPANY B.

TWENTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. This regiment was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, in August, 1861. Company H was recruited in Highland county. August 20, 1861, the regiment, nine hundred and fifty strong, took the cars for St. Louis, Missouri, and, on arrival, encamped near the city. Soon after it began a series of moves which were attended with much fruitless marching. In December it shared in the capture of thirteen hundred rebel recruits, and in February, 1862, it returned to St. Louis. In the organization of the Army of the Mississippi, the Twenty- seventh was assigned to the First brigade, First division. In March it was in advance of the army upon New Madrid, and was actively engaged during the siege until the surrender. Shortly after it assisted in the capture of Island No. ro, and a few weeks later moved to the vicinity of Fort Pillow. It moved with the army to Pittsburgh Landing, and, about May 1, 1862, moved on Corinth. It was repeatedly under fire, and acquitted itself well, in every case. At Barnett's station, eight miles from Iuka, on September r9th, it was heavily engaged, whipping the rebels and returning to Corinth. October 3d the regiment, with its brigade, took a position on either side of the battery Robinett, and the next day was engaged in heavy skirmishing for several hours, using seventy rounds of ammunition. November 1st the brigade marched to join General Grant, going as far south as Oxford, Mississippi. Marching back it encountered Forrest's command at Parker's Cross Roads, and in this engagement captured seven guns, three hundred and sixty prisoners, and four hundred horses. The "Ohio Brigade," of which the Twenty-seventh formed a part, followed Forrest to the Tennessee river, and a terrible march it was through snow and wind-many of the men barefoot, and all without sufficient clothing, or food; the suffering can best be imagined. Returning to Corinth, the men built themselves log huts, and were for the time, at least, comfortable. The brigade was next ordered to Memphis, where it was engaged in garrison duty for some time. In October, 1863, the brigade moved to Iuka, and next to Prospect, where the men were employed in building fortifications. Here the Twenty-seventh re-enlisted. Returning to the field the Ohio brigade moved against Decatur, and captured it. On May 1, 1864, it joined the main army at Chattanooga. At Dallas, Georgia, on the 27th, two companies of the regiment were hotly engaged, and the next day was engaged with Hood's corps, and the next at Kenesaw, the regiment losing heavily. On July 22d, before Atlanta, the regiment was engaged in one of its severest battles, and sustained its heaviest loss. In August the regiment was sent to Marietta, where it remained until the fall of Atlanta. Its loss, since it left Chattanooga, was sixteen officers and two hundred and one men. The regiment marched with Sherman `go the sea," and shared the battles and many of the skirmishes of that grand march. At Cheraw, South Carolina, the regiment captured a fine English twenty-pound gun, bearing this inscription: "Presented to the sovereign State of South Carolina, by one of her citizens residing abroad, in commemoration of the twentieth day of December, 1860" (the day South Carolina seceded). After the surrender of Johnston the regiment moved via Richmond to Washington, participated in the review, and then proceeded to Louisville. In July, 1865, the regiment was ordered to Camp Dennison, and discharged. COMPANY H. Mustered into service August 14, 1861. Mustered out of service July 11, 1865. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS.

THIRTY-THIRD REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. This regiment was organized at Camp Morrow, Portsmouth, Ohio, during the latter part of the summer of 1861, and entered the service with an aggregate of eight hundred and thirty-nine men. Company H was recruited at Chillicothe. The regiment was assigned to General Nelson's command at Maysville, Kentucky, and marched with him to repel an invasion by the rebel colonel, John S. Williams. After some sixty days spent in this campaign, the regiment moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was assigned to General Buell's command. Moving to Bacon creek, it remained until February, 1862, when it moved southward with General O. M. Mitchell, reaching Nashville on the 26th. On March 18, 1862, it advanced, by the way of Murfreesborough, to Huntsville, Alabama, and was on the move constantly until the latter part of the summer, when it advanced to Bridgeport, and here it did some sharp skirmishing, and, later, marched again to Louisville, Kentucky, which it reached September 26th. October 1st, it joined in pursuit of Bragg's rebel army, and at Perryville, the regiment went into the fight with four hundred muskets, and lost one hundred and twenty-nine men, killed and wounded. This was its first set battle, and, after pursuing Bragg to Crab Orchard, it moved, by long marches, to Nashville, Tennessee, where it was assigned to General George H. Thomas' command. At the battle of Stone River the regiment lost several men in killed and wounded. It remained at Murfreesborough until June 24, 1863, when it moved to Tullahoma. About the first of September, 1863, the Chickamauga campaign opened. The-Thirty-third marched over the mountains, and, on the nineteenth and twentieth of September, was engaged at Chickamauga. Of the three hundred and forty-three men with which the regiment entered the fight, one hundred and sixty-eight were killed, wounded, or missing. Falling back to Chattanooga, it remained until November 24th, when it fought with Hooker, at Lookout. Here it lost heavily, and at Mission Ridge, the day following, it lost thirty-one men. At Taylor's Ridge, two days later, the regiment was again engaged, with considerable loss. Returning to Chattanooga, it re-enlisted, and was given veteran furlough home, after the expiration of which it joined General Sherman in the Atlanta campaign, and was engaged in the battle of Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Pumpkin Vine Creek, Kenesaw Mountain, Chattahoochie Crossing, Peach Tree Creek, and around Atlanta and Jonesborough. During the campaign the regiment lost, in killed and wounded, one hundred and seventy men. Among the killed were: Lieutenants Edgar Higbee and John S. Sykes, of Ross county. It accompanied Sherman in his march to the sea, through the Carolinas and the rebel capital, to Washington, where they participated in the grand review. It was forwarded to Louisville, Kentucky, and on July 12, 1865, mustered out of the service. COMPANY H. Mustered into service, September 18, 1851; mustered out of service, July 12, 1865.

The regiment was organized at Camp Dennison, and early in 1862, reported to General W. T. Sherman at Paducah, Kentucky. On April 6th, it was engaged at Pittsburgh Landing, and did glorious work. On the second day of the battle, the regiment went into active action at ten o'clock A. M., and was exposed to a galling fire until the close of the engagement. In this battle the regiment lost fully one-third of its numbers. From this time until after the close of the Rebellion the regiment was in active duty. It was among the first troops to enter the rebel works at Corinth. In General Sherman's first expedition to Vicksburgh, it was on the right, and at Arkansas Post it did effective fighting. It was with General Grant during his Vicksburgh campaign, fought at Magnolia and Champion Hills, and participated in the general assault in the rear of Vicksburgh, May 23, 1863. It took a prominent part in the battles of Jackson, Mississippi, and Bayou Teche. At Sabine Cross Roads the regiment, after a gallant fight, was overpowered and captured. It was not exchanged until October, 1864. The majority of the men in the regiment re-enlisted, but owing to their capture, they never received their veteran furlough. After its exchange the regiment shared in the capture of Mobile. After the surrender of the rebel armies, the remaining one hundred and sixty-five men of the regiment were ordered to Texas; where they remained until May, r866, when they were mustered out of service.

FIFTIETH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. This regiment was recruited from the State at large. It was mustered into the service at Camp Dennison, on August 27, 1862. The rolls show that company E was recruited in Highland county. The regiment moved into Kentucky, on September 1st, to aid in the defence of Cincinnati against Kirby Smith's guerrillas, and about the twentieth of the same month it went to Louisville. Here it was assigned to McCook's corps, and, on October 8th, it was baptized in blood, at Perryville. Its loss was one hundred and sixty-five officers and men, killed and wounded. In the advance on Nashville, it was stationed at Lebanon, and next joined in the pursuit of John Morgan's band of robbers. It was now detached and stationed at Muldraugh's hill, where it was engaged in building fortifications until September, 1863, when it proceeded to Nashville, and soon afterward to Glasgow, Kentucky. On December 25th it was ordered to Knoxville, Tennessee. This march was made during the bitter cold weather which ushered in the year 1864, the men sleeping on the frozen ground, without shelter, and with only parched corn for food. From Knoxville the regiment marched to join General Sherman, at Kingston, Georgia, and by forced marches, averaging twenty miles per day, reached Kingston on May 23rd. It was soon after engaged in the siege of Atlanta, and was almost constantly in line of battle; participating in the actions at Pumpkin Vine Creek, Dallas, New Hope Church, Lost Mountain, Pine Mountain, Kenesaw Mountain, Culpe House, Nicojack Creek, Chattahoochie River, Howard House, Atlanta, and Jonesborough. After a month's stay at Decatur, Georgia, it joined in the pursuit of Hood's army, and was next engaged at Spring Hill. On November 3oth, it went into the battle at Franklin, Tennessee, with two hundred and twenty-five men; it received and repelled eleven successive charges, and after the battle but one hundred and twelve men answered at roll call. December 15th and 16th it fought at Nashville.

This regiment was organized at Ripley, Ohio, October r, 1861, and the same day was taken by steamer to Maysville, Kentucky, to quell an anticipated outbreak of rebel sympathizers. This over, the regiment went into camp for a short time and then joined in a campaign to eastern Kentucky, after which it joined the forces of General Buell at Louisville, Kentucky. On December r ith the regiment moved to Columbia, Kentucky, where it went into winter quarter& February HISTORY OF ROSS AND HIGHLAND COUNTIES, OHIO - 109 25th it marched upon Nashville, Tennessee, reaching that place on March 8th. Here it was assigned to General Thomas L. Crittenden's division, and, on the 18th, it left for Pittsburgh Landing. Reaching Savannah on April 6th, it was placed on a steamer, and at twelve o'clock was in the line of battle. The next day it was hotly engaged from morning till night, with a loss of fifty-seven men killed and wounded. After the battle of Shiloh, the regiment moved with the army to Corinth, and was among the first troops to enter the town. On August 20th it began its march through Tennessee and Kentucky, for the purpose of checkmating Bragg, and on September 25th it reached Louisville. Here the army rested for one week, and then resumed the pursuit of the enemy. It was in the immediate vicinity of Perryville on October 8th, but was not allowed to participate in the battle, but joined in the pursuit afterward. It was at Stone River, and did valuable service, and it was here that William F. Brown, of Company B, captured a rebel lieutenant and twenty-seven men, showing quite conclusively that the braggart boast that one of the "chivalry" could "lick a dozen Yanks," was as true as the majority of the rebel statements. On September 18th, the regiment opened the battle of Chickamauga, and it was engaged during the entire period of the fights here, at Chattanooga and Mission Ridge. It was now ordered to Knoxville, and spent the winter near Strawberry Plains, suffering greatly for clothing and food. April 7, 1864, it moved to Cleveland, Tennessee. May 8th it fought at Rocky Face Ridge, and from there to Atlanta it was engaged in all the bloody encounters of the campaign. October 24th it proceeded to Nashville, where it was mustered out of service October 31, 1864. It was sent to Louisville, Kentucky, and paid. From there it was taken to Cincinnati and discharged.

SIXTIETH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. There were two regiments of this number. The first was recruited for one year, and a portion of it was enlisted in Highland county, by Col. William H. Trimble. The regiment was intended for the defence of the border counties of Ohio. February 8, 1862, the regiment was ordered to Gallipolis, where it remained until April 27th, when it joined General Fremont's forces in western Virginia, and had its first engagement at Strasburgh. It marched up the Shenandoah valley in pursuit of Jackson, and this was one of the most terrible marches of the war. At Port Republic the enemy were overtaken and engaged, and here the rebel, Ashby, of cavalry fame, was killed. Pursuing the flying Rebels as far as Cross Keys, another engagement was had, in which the Sixtieth fought bravely, and.suffered severely. On the morning of June 12th, the troops encamped at Mount Jackson, and here, for the first time during the campaign, the officers and men of the Sixtieth slept in tents. On the ninteenth, the forces moved to Strasburgh, and was next engaged in the disastrous affair at Harper's Ferry. It fought desperately, and no regiment in the command felt more disgrace of that surrender, and on the investigation which ensued, no blame was attached to Colonel Trimble. After the surrender it marched to Annapolis. The colonel was, shortly after this, badly crippled, by being thrown from his horse, and did not again join the regiment, which was discharged at Camp Douglas, Illinois, October so, 1862. The majority of its members re- enlisted in other organizations, and served gallantly until the close of the war, many of them laying down their lives in the cause of their country. FIELD AND STAFF.

This regiment was organized at Camp Chase, April 23, 1862. It left for the field May 27th, and joined General Fremont's army in West Virginia, Its first fight was at Freeman's Ford, next at Sulphur Springs, and Waterloo Bridge. At the second Bull Run battle the regiment covered the retreat of the National forces toward Washington, and lost twenty-five men, killed and wounded. After a time spent in constant marching and skirmishing it engaged at Chancellorsville on May 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th, suffering great loss. At Gettysburgh it was severely handled, and afterward joined in the pursuit. October 27th it started for Chattanooga, reaching that point on November 22d, and went into winter- quarters at Bridgeport, Tennessee. In March, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted. Returning, it was engaged in the marches and battles of the Atlanta campaign, and on November 15th it started with General Sherman's army on its " march to the sea," fighting its last battle at Bentonville, It participated in the grand review at Washington, after which it was sent to Columbus, Ohio, and there mustered out of service, about September r, 1865.

This regiment was organized at Fremont, Ohio, during the months of October, November and December, 1861. January 24, 1862, the regiment moved to Camp Chase, where it was equipped, and in February, reported to General Sherman at Paducah. Its first engagement was at Pittsburgh Landing, and its loss heavy. In the siege at Corinth it bore a conspicuous part. It moved toward Vicksburgh, and on May 7, 1863, was engaged at Jackson, Mississippi. January 2, 1864, it re-enlisted. Returning, it was engaged in the defence at Paducah, Kentucky, against Forrest, and next joined an expedition into Mississippi. On June loth, it, with the other regiments of the command, engaged Forrest at Brice's Cross Roads, Mississippi, and owing to inefficiency in the commanding officer, was badly whipped. The loss was fearful. The regiment was subsequently ordered to Jefferson city, Missouri. It suffered intensely for want of clothing and blankets. November 16th, it reached St. Louis, and was next ordered to Nashville, and did gallant work in the battle at that point. After much arduous marching and fighting it was mustered out of service September r 1, 1865, at Vicksburgh, sent home to Camp Chase, and discharged. COMPANY K. Mustered into service October, November and December, 1861. No muster-out rolls of original enlistment. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER. Corporal David S. Vallette. PRIVATES.

The writer would express his thanks to General Samuel H. Hurst, late commander of the regiment, for the data from which the following sketch is prepared. In September, 1861, a number of young men at Chillicothe, after due discussion, resolved to raise a regiment of volunteers under the first call for three hundred thousand men. Captain Orland, lieutenant of the Chillicothe Greys, was tendered the position of colonel, and Jacob Hyer, esq., of Greenfield, that of lieutenant colonel of the regiment, both of whom accepted the positions and were soon actively engaged in the work of recruiting, which was, at this time, quite difficult. The defeat at Bull Run had plunged the whole country into gloomy forebodings, and, although it was not known to what an extent the sympathies of England and France were with the rebels, or that vast numbers at the north were preparing to give aid and comfort to the insurgents, yet these first reverses showed the spirit and purpose of the enemy; and the loyal nation paused, in grief, to weigh the value of the Nation, and count the cost of its salvation. Love of country and of right sat umpire, and fixed in the hearts of all true men the desire, the hope, the determination, that, at any cost, the union of the States should be preserved—the Nation should live. It was this determination that prompted the men who now gave themselves to their country. How completely the men of the Seventy-third evinced their love for the dear old stripes and stars (more beautiful floats not beneath the blue, vaulted canopy of heaven) it will be the pleasing duty of the writer to record. Company A was organized on November 12th, and four days later rendezvoused at Camp Logan, with its full complement of men. Companies B, F and G were next organized, and on December 3oth the ten companies composing the regiment were completed, and it was mustered into the service of the United States. January 24, 1862, started for the front under orders to report to General Rosecrans, commanding the department of West Virginia. February 3d, the regiment encamped at New creek, on the north branch of the Potomac, and was soon engaged in forced marches into the surrounding country; and it was during an expedition to Moorfield, on the night of February 13th, that the first gun was fired by the regiment, and the first one of its number wounded. Returning to its former camping ground, the regiment remained until March 20th, when it moved to Weston, and from here it moved across the mountains and joined General Milroy. At McDowell, on May 8th, occurred quite a lively battle. General Jackson (Stonewall) having made a stand at Cross Keys, our forces engaged him. The Seventy-third was detailed to support a battery, and skirmished heavily with the enemy, losing eight men, killed and wounded. From here the command fell back to Strasburgh, and finally to Middletown, where it went into camp. The Seventy-third was now brigaded with the Fifty-fifth, Twenty-fifth and Seventy-fifth Ohio, and Colonel N. C. McLean placed in command. At Cedar Mountain the Seventy-third with its command was in line, but was not engaged. Here General Banks gave an illustration of his want of military genius, which became the rule in his future campaigns. At the second battle of Bull Run the Seventy-third did gallant work, but suffered terribly, losing one hundred and forty-four men, killed and wounded, and twenty prisoners. An interval now occurred when naught was accomplished, except weary marching and waiting.. About December 1st, the regiment went into winter quarters, at Fairfax Station. This was, however, of short duration, for HISTORY OF ROSS AND HIGHLAND COUNTIES, OHIO - 113 on the 21st it joined Siegel's corps, and marched for Fredericksburgh. It did not, however, reach that place in time to engage in the disastrous engagement. Again the Seventy-third went into camp, a short distance from Falmouth. Nothing of import occured until April 3oth, when the regiment came up to do its full duty at the battle of Chancellorsville. Here the famous rebel general, Stonewall Jackson, was disposed of; and here, after a few days, occurred that unaccountable retreat. "Nearly a hundred thousand men, intrenched in a strong positinn, with a base on the river, where pontoons connected with the supplies. If it were policy to cross the Rappahannock in the first place," why fall back without accomplishing something? On June 12th, the march into Maryland and Pennsylvania was begun. Its first event of importance was the battle of Gettysburgh. During the three days of this memorable battle, the Seventy-third was heavily and hotly engaged. It went into the engagement with scarce three hundred men, of whom one hundred and forty-four were either killed or wounded. Following the retreating rebels as far as Hagarstown, the chase was abandoned, and the Seventy-third, with its division, returned to Virginia. September 24th, it left for Manassas Junction, where it embarked on the cars, destined to reinforce the army of the Cumberland on the banks of the Tennessee. Six days later the command had completed its twelve hundred mile journey, and was pitching tents in Tennessee, October 23rd, tents were struck, and the army began to move for Lookout. The Seventy-third arrived in time to participate in the midnight charge at Lookout Valley, which it did with heavy loss; the killed and wounded alone aggregating five officers and sixty men. Among these was Captain Luther M. Bookwalter, who fell while gallantly leading his men. This engagement was one of the "hottest" and most bravely contested of any in which the regiment participated. General Grant, in his official report, pronounced the charge of the Seventy-third Ohio and Thirty-third Massachusetts, "one of the most daring feats of arms in the war." November loth, the Seventy-third, with its corps, moved towards Mission Ridge. Having arrived there, an order was promulgated, at noon, Monday, 23rd, to "stack knapsacks and prepare for work," and from this forward, until this great victory was won, the Seventy-third was, the greater portion of the time, under the fire of the enemy, and with small loss of life. At the conclusion of this action, General Hurst says: "That night we slept sweetly by our blazing piles of rails, our earthy bed a couch for kings, our hardtack and coffee better than a prince's feast." Following this came the campaign of East Tennessee, where, after much weary, and apparently fruitless marching, the command returned to Lookout valley. Here the regiment re-enlisted, almost entire. January 1, 1864, it was re-mustered, and three days later the boys started tome on a veteran furlough. February 15th, the regiment assembled at Chillicothe, and on March 2nd, reached its former camp, at Lookout, where it was occupied in drill, etc., until May 2nd, when it marched for Rocky Faced ridge, with three hundred and eighteen men; and Sunday, May 8th, orders were given to prepare for work. Brisk skirmishing was indulged in by the Seventy-third and its brigade, the greater part of the day, with the loss of but one man wounded in the regiment. At Resaca the regiment had hot work—its loss was ten men killed and forty-two wounded. The march from here was to Cassville, and on, until it reached the battle ground at New Hope Church, and took part in this engagement suffering heavy loss. In front of Kenesaw the regiment did effective work ; thence across the Chattahoochie to the battle of Peach Tree Creek. Here the Seventy-third was in the front line, and lost eighteen men, killed and wounded. Now the rebels were in that "last ditch" they had so many times sworn to die in at Atlanta. Subsequent events proved that "it were better to be a live coward than a dead hero." Atlanta was ours. Here the army rested until November 16th, when it began, with Sherman, his memorable march to the sea. Of this General Hurst says: "Our march was like a grand picnic excursion; feasting upon the fat of the land by day, and sleeping without fear of molestation at night." In front of Savannah, we find the Seventy-third, until its surrender. Then through the Carolinas, at the battles of Averysborough and Bentonville, at Goldsborough and in the advance on Raleigh. Finally reaching Washington, it participated in the grand review, and was ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, where the rolls were made, and on July 2o, 1865, it was mustered out, going at once to Camp Dennison, Ohio. The regiment was paid off and discharged on July 24th. During its service the Seventy-third regiment had upon its rolls eighty commissioned officers, and thirteen hundred and ten enlisted men. Of this number, ninety-five were killed in battle, sixty-one died of wounds, and one hundred and twenty-nine died of disease. SEVENTY-THIRD REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

SEVENTY-FIFTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. This regiment was organized at Camp John McLean, near Cincinnati, December 18, 1861. Its first field of duty was in western Virginia, and its first engagement was at Monterey Court House, April 12, 1862. HISTORY OF ROSS AND HIGHLAND COUNTIES, OHIO - 119 The different engagements in which this regiment participated during its term of service, were as follows: May 8, 1862, McDowell, Cross Keys, Cedar Mountain; Chancellorsville, May 2, 186 3, and Gettysburgh, July 1st, and through the entire battle. Early in March, 1864, the regiment was mounted, and, thereafter, performed the duties of a regular cavalry regiment, and it was almost constantly on the move during the balance of its service. The benefits which resulted from the efforts of the regiment to the National cause, in destroying rebel supplies, railroads, etc., cannot be estimated. It was discharged by companies, at Columbus, Ohio—A, B, and C, in October, and D, G, and F, in November, 1864. The remaining four companies were organized, with recruits, into a veteran battalion, and were discharged the service in August, 1865. COMPANY B. Mustered into service December 14, 1861. Mustered out of service December 22, 1864. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Corporal Elias Young, transferred V. R. C. Corporal Jacob Stewart, discharged November 20, 1862. PRIVATES. Orlando Bell, John L, Landrou, and Jesse McEann, mustered out with company. EIGHTY-FIRST REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. Companies C and I, of this regiment, were recruited in Highland county, and the regiment formed as " Independent Rifles," by Colonel Morton, but owing to bad management it did not reach the maximum number in the time allotted, and, accordingly, it was denominated the Eighty-first Ohio, and rendezvoused at Benton barracks. September 24, 1861, the regiment received marching orders, and was kept almost constantly on scouting duty, until March I, 1862, when it was ordered to St. Louis, armed with short Enfields, and soon afterwards embarked for Pittsburgh Landing. Here it did most effective work, and on the last day of the battle charged the enemy in gallant style, capturing a battery and many prisoners, but not without considerable loss. May 29th it moved towards Corinth, and had headquarters here for many months, making numerous marches into the surrounding country. On October 3d the regiment and its division were hotly engaged, with a loss of eleven men killed, forty-four wounded and three missing, in the Eighty-first. Soon afterwards five new companies arrived. On the first of November the regiment moved within the inner defences of Corinth, and erected winter-quarters, and here it remained until April is, 1863, when it formed a part of the expedition to Tuscumbia. In January, 1864, a portion of the regiment re-enlisted, and next entered the Atlanta campaign. On the fourteenth three men of Company C captured eleven rebels in one squad, including a captain and two lieutenants. May 16th the regiment fought at Rome Cross Roads, and from here pressed on, with continuous skirmishing, to Kenesaw, and on July zest closed around Atlanta, and the following day the Eighty-third made a daring and effective stand, and afterwards a charge which carried everything before it, capturing a number of prisoners and three battle-flags, In September the regiment moved to Rome, and on November 11th marched toward Atlanta, and continued, without opposition, to Savannah, The regiment participated in all the labors and dangers of the campaign of the Carolinas, and was engaged in the battle of Bentonville, At Goldsborough the army of the Tennessee passed in review. On April 29th the regiment started on its homeward march, and at Washington passed in grand review. It then moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was mustered out of service, on July 13th, and repairing to Camp Dennison, Ohio, was paid and discharged. During the regiment's term of service thirty-four men were killed in action; twenty-four died of wounds; one hundred and thirty-six were discharged for disability, EIGHTY-FIRST REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY COMPANY C.

EIGHTY-NINTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. The records show that six companies in this regiment were wholly, or partially recruited in the counties of Ross and Highland, The regiment was mustered into the service at Camp Dennison, Ohio, on August 26, 1862, and on September 3rd, it went into camp near Covington, Kentucky, and from there it moved into Western Virginia, and in November it went into winter quarters five miles above Fayetteville Court House. Shortly after the battle of Stone River, this and the Ninety-second Ohio were ordered to reinforce General Rosecrans, at Nashville, Tennessee, and embarking on steamers, moved down the river, arriving at Nashville, on the Seventh of February, 1863. From here it moved to Carthage, Tennessee, and on June 8th, it joined Rosecrans' main army, at Murfreesborough. It next joined in the movement against Bragg, at Tullahoma. It was actively engaged at Hoover's Gap, and was here initiated into the "dread art of war" with a vengeance. After the enemy had been driven from Chattanooga, and beyond, the Eighty-ninth encamped at Dechard. During this campaign the regiment was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel William H. Glenn, late captain of Company A. On the morning of September 19th, the regiment moved into line and engaged in the bloody battle of Chickamauga. During the afternoon of the loth, the Eighty-ninth went into the hottest of the fight; and, with the Twenty-first Ohio and Twenty-second Michigan, held its position against fearful odds, until dark, when they were surrounded and all captured. The non-commissioned officers and privates were sent to Belle Isle, and from there to Andersonville, where the majority of them were systematically starved to death—by order of that now great patriot and statesman, Jeff. Davis. Lieutenant Colonel Glenn was sent to Charleston, South Carolina, and placed under the fire of our guns, with many another brave defender of the flag. Another beautiful illustration of Southern chivalry. Falling back on Chattanooga, our army went into the intrenchments. Monday morning, at nine o'clock, Surgeon Crew, of the Eighty-ninth, sick and hardly able to ride on horseback, found himself half a mile in front of our line of battle with forty wounded, twenty sick, and seventy-five well men—all that was left of the Eighty-ninth. The regiment was recruited to two hundred men, and next was engaged at Mission Ridge, then at Rocky Face, and Resaca, where it was actively engaged May 13th, 14th, and 15th, and during the Atlanta campaign, it was almost constantly in a fight for four months.

In the retreat which followed the regiment was directed to hold the bridge to the last extremity. Of the execution of this order, General Tyler, commanding, says: "No officer did his duty better than did Colonel Brown, and no troops could have done more than did the men under his command in that unequal combat. It seldom falls to the lot of veterans to be more severely tried than were the Ohio National Guard at the stone bridge, and none ever carried out trying and hazardous orders better or with a more determined spirit than did the One Hundred and Forty-ninth." The regiment's loss in killed and wounded was about one hundred and thirty. It next took part in the marches into Maryland and Virginia.

This battery was organized in Highland county, and mustered into the United States service at Camp Dennison, on August 4, 1863, by Captain J. L. Proctor, United States army. It left camp September 22d, for Cincinnati, under orders from General Cox, and reported on the following day to Lieutenant Colonel Eastman at that point. On November loth, the battery was taken by rail to Johnson's Island, in Sandusky bay. It reached the Island on the 11th, in the midst of an excitement resulting from a contemplated attempt on the part of the rebel prisoners confined there, to effect their escape. Two guns of the battery were stationed on the Island, and the remaining four at Cedar Point, commanding the entrance to Sandusky bay. The danger having passed, the battery was ordered to select a camp on the main land, with instructions to drill and fit the men for active service. In obedience to this order, a beautiful site was selected near the city, which was named Camp Hill, in honor of the battery commander, Captain J. L. Hill. On June 9, 1864, orders were received to take the battery by rail to Kentucky, to aid in looking after John Morgan's band of guerrillas, but on reaching Xenia, Ohio, counter orders were received, and the battery returned to Camp Hill. On August 6th, it was taken to Camp Chase, trouble being anticipated there with rebel sympathizers. It remained at Camp Chase until August 27th, when, its presence being no longer necessary, it was ordered to report to Camp Douglass, near Chicago, Illinois. At this time much excitement prevailed in that excitable city, in regard to a rumored attempt to release the rebel prisoners confined there. The Democratic National convention was then in session at Chicago, and had just nominated George B. McClellan as its candidate for president. The presence of the Twenty-fourth Ohio battery, and probably a knowledge that their schemes were discovered, deterred the conspirators from a further attempt to carry out their purpose. A large quantity of ammunition, and three cart loads of guns were discovered, secreted in the dwelling of one Charles Welch, near Camp Douglass. A number of the conspirators were arrested, and should have been hung. While at Chicago the battery was on duty day and night. General Joe Hooker reviewed the troops at Camp Douglass, and complimented the Twenty-fourth Ohio battery highly, pronouncing it the best equipped and best drilled organization of the kind he ever met with. On June to, 1865, orders were received to report to Camp Dennison, Ohio, where the battery was mustered out of service on the 24th day of the same month. Although not permitted to reach "the front," the Twenty-fourth performed its full share of valuable service. On being relieved from duty at Camp Douglass, the following general order was issued : HEADQUARTERS POST, CAMP DOUGLASS, ILLINOIS. "General Order Number 20. "The Twenty-fourth Ohio battery, light artillery, Captain John L. Hill, after some months of service at this post, has been relieved from duty and ordered to be mustered out. This battery is a noble organization. Dining its service here it has been in admirable discipline, as shown by uniform soldierly bearing, and good conduct. 1t has obeyed all orders, and performed varied and important duty with alacrity, intelligence, accuracy, and zeal.

About March 1st it was placed on duty at General Halleck's headquarters, and was his escort at Pittsburgh Landing and until the siege of Corinth. It joined in the pursuit of Beauregard, and was finally transferred to Washington city. Its next service was in western Tennessee, and it fought at Britton's Lane on September 1st.

This regiment was organized during the latter part of the summer of 1861, under the first call of President Lincoln for the three years' service. Its place of rendezvous was Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio. The officers were mustered into service from the first of August to the first of October, as occasion required, and the regiment, as a whole, on the fifth of October, 1861. Company H was from Highland county. It being the first organization of its class raised in the State, there was great anxiety manifested to join its ranks. This fact enabled the recruiting officers to discriminate largely in the selection of men. It may well be doubted whether more applicants were ever rejected from a similar organization in the service, or if a nobler band of men in physical development could possibly have been selected from the yeomanry of the great State of Ohio. The strictest military discipline was at once inaugurated. About the middle of September, 1861, companies A and C, under command of Captain Robinson, were ordered to West Virginia, whence, after performing considerable service in that department, they were ordered up the Shenandoah valley, and attached to the command of Generals Shields, Banks and Kilpatrick. They participated in many of the sanguinary engagements around the capital, and did not return to the regiment until January, 1865. On the ninth of December the regiment broke camp, and proceeded by rail and steamboat to Louisville, Kentucky, where it arrived on the morning of the eleventh, the first regiment of cavalry to enter that department. This was the nucleus of that host of cavalry which, under the leadership of Generals Stanley, Crook, Mitchell, McCook, Kilpatrick, Garrard, Long, Minty, and Wilson, achieved such triumphs for the country, and fame for themselves. The magnitude of such conflicts as Pittsburgh Landing, Stone River, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, and Atlanta, mostly fought by other arms of the service, equally brave, but not superior, have so occupied the public mind that the achievements of the cavalry—its fearless rides, its daring raids, its bloody charges, its long nights of weary marching, as it carried desolation and destruction into the very heart of treason—have been almost overlooked. The story of the cavalry of the southwest is a record of heroic achievement, unsurpassed in the annals of that service. Space admits of but brief mention of the many acts of bravery performed by the First regiment of Ohio volunteer cavalry. From Louisville the regiment embarked, February 28th, on transports for Nashville, Tennessee, where it arrived on the 6th of March. It lay in camp here until the 14th of March, and then took the advance of the column moving toward Columbia, and marched with General Thomas' division to Pittsburgh Landing, where it arrived the day following the close of that battle. It participated in the advance on Corinth, having frequent skirmishes with the enemy, and, after the evacuation, joining in the pursuit of Beauregard's army, going as far as Booneville. During this pursuit, it had four engagements with the enemy, suffering little loss. June 17th the regiment moved eastward from Corinth to guard the line of the Mobile & Charleston railroad. Company H, with three others under Colonel Milliken, was stationed at Tuscumbia, then the headquarters of General Thomas. On August 1st the regiment started for Decherd, Tennessee, where it arrived on the 5th, and from there marched to Louisville with Buell's army, skirmishing on the way. On the 6th it took the advance on the Perryville road. Afterward it engaged in the pursuit of guerilla John Morgan, and reached Nashville about the middle of November, and went into camp. The next service of the First cavalry was in the advance under General Rosecrans on Murfreesborough, Tennessee, and on December 31st was heavily engaged. It was surrounded by the left wing of the rebel army, and cut its way through their lines. This was not achieved without great loss. After the battle, and retreat of Bragg's army, the regiment went into camp near Lavergne. Here it remained until about the middle of June, when it moved to Murfreesborough and joined its old brigade (the Second). June 24th it moved, with its brigade, on Tullahoma, entering that place, after heavy skirmishing, on the first of July. From here it made an expedition into northern Alabama, capturing several hundred horses and mules, and destroying large quantities of rebel stores. August 19th it commenced a march over the Cumberland mountains, and on Sunday, the 19th of September, 136 - HISTORY OF ROSS AND HIGHLAND COUNTIES, OHIO. it engaged in the battle of Chickamauga, suffering heavy loss. The regiment next moved to Paint Rock station, on the Memphis & Charleston railroad, where it arrived October 19th. November 18th it moved toward Chattanooga, where it arrived on the twenty-second. The same evening, the First Ohio and five other cavalry regiments, under Colonel Long, crossed the river, and made a raid in the rear of Bragg's position, which, for its brilliant success and happy termination, is unsurpassed in the annals of the cavalry. The results were the destruction of twenty miles of railroad and the largest percussion cap and torpedo manufactory in the Confederacy; two hundred wagons were burned; six hundred horses and mules, and five hundred prisoners, were captured. All the prisoners were brought safely into Chattanooga on the twenty-fifth. The loss on our side was only twenty men. October 27th, it moved for Knoxville, doing heavy skirmishing, and capturing many prisoners on the way. After a few days' rest at Knoxville, the regiment, with its command, made a raid into North Carolina, At Calhoun, a town on the Heawassee river, December 16th, Colonel Long, with sixty-five men of the First cavalry, made a charge on twenty-eight hundred men of Wheeler's rebels who had attacked one of our wagon trains, scattering the enemy, and inflicting a loss of twenty-five killed and wounded, and capturing one hundred and thirty-one prisoners. Our men lost but one killed and three wounded. This brilliant affair, everything considered, is almost without a parallel in the history of modern warfare. January 1, 1864, the regiment moved to Pulaski, Tennessee, and on the fourth about three hundred of the men re-enlisted as veterans, and were furloughed home. On April 1, 1864, the regiment re-united at Nashville, recruited to full ranks, and on May 22d, it started to join the advancing column of Sherman near Rome, Georgia. June 17th, the regiment took the advance, and reached the main army near Allatoona. It remained and acted with the army until after the fall of Atlanta. In front of Kenesaw the First cavalry had frequent and severe skirmishing, losing thirty men. October 13th, it carried the advance of Garrad's division in the fight near Rome, Georgia, with great decision and credit. From there it was ordered to Louisville to refit, and on the twenty-eighth of December, 1864, moved to join the cavalry corps near Gravelly springs, Alabama. During the month of February, 1865, it was brigaded with the Seventh cavalry. March 9th, it and division rendezvoused at Chickasaw Landing, and thence it crossed the Catawba, and occupied Montevallo. April 1st, it again took the advance. April 2d, Selma was taken, and seven days later, the command crossed the Alabama, taking up the line of march toward Columbus, Georgia. Arriving there, a severe contest ensued. About a mile and a half from Columbus, the First Ohio encountered the enemy, and with, drawn sabres charged down the hill into the town of Girard, under the fire of twenty-five guns which had been masked till then. The regiment was also engaged in the night assault upon Columbus, the capture of the works and the saving of the two bridges which opened up Columbus, its arsenals and factories, and gave as the result of one of the most desperate night assaults ever made, twelve hundred prisoners, and ninety-six cannon. On the twenty-second, Macon was entered, where the force heard of the surrender of Lee. The regiment then garrisoned Georgia and South Carolina until the thirteenth of September, when it was mustered out, paid off, and discharged at Coplumbus, Ohio, on the twenty-eighth of September, 1865. COMPANY H. Organized by Captain Martin Buck, at Hillsborough, and mustered into the service September 18, 1861, for the period of three years. January 4, 1864, the company was mustered as a veteran organization, and finally mustered out of service September 13, 1865.

On April 26th, six companies, not mounted, were ordered to Charlestown, West Virginia, and on May 8th the remainder of the regiment were ordered to the same place. On June 1st the regiment arrived at Lewisburgh, and on the third, moved with Averillon the Lynchburgh raid. It was severely engaged with the rebels, with a loss of seventy-one in killed, wounded and prisoners. It was next ordered to Beverly, and reached that place on June 3oth,having been in the saddle almost constantly for thirty-three days, marching in that period about six hundred miles. On August 23d, companies C, H and K were surprised and captured. The remainder of the regiment served gallantly and did noble work, with both torch and sword, in the valley, at Winchester, Fisher's Hill and Cedar Creek. On the morning of January 11, 1865, it was surprised and captured, 138 - HISTORY OF ROSS AND HIGHLAND COUNTIES, OHIO. and the remainder of their time was passed under the fiends' charge at Libby prison. Their sufferings were terrible, and their treatment such as none but savages could inflict. Not content with robbing the helpless prisoners of their shoes, hats and nearly all their clothing, a systematic course of starving was resorted to, and that, too, under the immediate supervision, and, beyond a doubt, by the direct orders of that foul bloat upon humanity, Jeff. Davis. On February 15th, the men left the prison, and from Annapolis were moved to Columbus, Ohio, and paroled. The greater part of these were mustered out of service in une, as prisoners of war.

Collins, of Highland county, was authorized to recruit a regiment of cavalry, to be denominated the Seventh. October 1st recruiting was commenced, and the full number of companies were rapidly recruited. But about December 1st recruiting was stopped and an order issued to muster out all incomplete organizations, unless they could be consolidated. Under this arrangement the Seventh and the Sixth were formed into a regiment, denominated by the last number. To this regiment, the Seventh furnished four companies. In February, 1862, the regiment came together at Camp Dennison, where the battalion of the Seventh, being fully equipped and mounted, were ordered to St. Louis, Missouri. While at Benton barracks, the Indians of the plains and mountains, instigated by rebel agents, became hostile, and, by destroying mail-stations and coaches, cut off overland communication with the Pacific States and territories, and the battalion of the Seventh was ordered to proceed across the plains and open up communication. It left St. Louis about the fourth of April, by steamers, and arrived at Fort Leavenworth on the 11th. Here it remained until the 26th, when, its outfit and commissary stores having arrived, it struck out for Fort Laramie, seven hundred miles distant. The route was via of Fort Kearny and Julesburgh, and was accomphshed in twenty-six days. From Fort Laramie the battalion moved westward into the mountains, and on June loth established headquarters near Pacific Springs, in the South pass, about three hundred miles west of Fort Laramie. Here it remained engaged in arduous duty until September 1st, when headquarters were changed to Fort Laramie. In the summer of 1863 Lieutenant Colonel Collins received authority to recruit-another battalion, for service in the Rocky mountains. This was accomplished in June and July. It was formed into a regiment with the Seventh battalion and denominated the Eleventh regiment, and reached Fort Laramie on October 13, 1863. There were no other troops on either of the mail routes from Julesburgh to Green river, a distance of over two thousand miles, and the duties of the Eleventh were necessarily arduous in the extreme. April 1, 1865, the Seventh battalion was mustered out at Omaha, Nebraska, having served about three years and a half; and the remaining companies were mustered out at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and sent to Columbus, Ohio, for payment, in July, 1866, They were the last troops in the service from Ohio. Of the services of this regiment it is impossible to give even an outline. A complete history would be full of startling incidents and hair-breadth escapes. Those who may suppose that the service in which this regiment was engaged was a peculiarly safe one, will be surprised to learn that the loss of life fully equaled the average loss in other cavalry regiments from Ohio. In addition to losses in battle and from disease, many men were frozen to death. The regiment was engaged in two important battles, Mud Springs, and Rush Creek, and in skirmishes innumerable. To give an idea of the severity of the weather, it is stated that, on January 3, 4 and 5, 1864, the mercury at Fort Laramie froze, and a spirit thermometer would have indicated, probably, from fifty to sixty degrees below zero.
