The memory of the soldier will never depart from this land so
long as human hearts thrill at tales of heroic deeds and are moved
with the story of man's love for liberty.

"The mystic chords of memory stretching from every battlefield
and every patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone over
all this broad land will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again
touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Preface
Soon after the survivors of the First Regiment Ohio Volunteer
Infantry had been mustered out at the end oi their three years
service in the army of the United States at the close of the Civil
War, a regimental association was formed for the purpose of hold
ing an annual reunion in the month of October as a means of pre
serving and continuing the comradeship of the members in the re
newal of war-time memories, most dear to every soldier after his
service in the field.
The plan for a history of the regiment was frequently discussed
at these reunion meetings, and a committee representing the several
companies was duly appointed. No available opportunity occurred,
however, for the accomplishment of the plan, during the year of
1915, an effort was made to bring about the pubHshing of a history,
but nothing definite resulted from this action. At the reunion held
in Dayton, on October 3, of the present year, the committee on
publication was duly authorized to proceed in the matter without
further delay, and a subscription was taken to provide the funds for
the work.
It is gratifying to know that at last there will be a printed history
of the regiment, however, handicapped by the lapse of time and
the loss by death of so many of the members, whose reminiscences
would have been of value in composing the book, for this reason
due indulgence is asked for errors or ommissions that may appear ip
the text.
Dayton, Ohio, December, 1918. Albert Kern.

First Regiment
Ohio Volunteer Infantry
As this history will have to do with the three-years service of
the regiment some reference is proper to the original formation.
The response of Ohio to the call for troops on the breaking out
of the Civil War will ever be a gratifying incident in the history
of the State. Within sixty hours after the telegram announcing
the call reached Columbus, the First Ohio under the command of
General Alexander McDowell McCook, was on its way by rail to
the east. The regiment left Columbus, April 19, 1861, and on April
29, was mustered into the three-months service at Lancaster, Penn
sylvania. It arrived at Washington on May 29, and was at once as
signed to General Robert C. Schenck's Brigade of General Tyler's
Division. The regiment thus hurriedly assembled was composed
of the following militia companies.
Company A — Lancaster Guards of Lancaster, Ohio  66 men.
Company B — Lafayette Guards of Dayton, Ohio  65 men.
Company C — Dayton Light Guards of Dayton, Ohio  76 men.
Company D — Montgomery Guards of Oayton, Ohio  69 men.
Company E — ^Cleveland Grays of Cleveland, Ohio  84 men.
Company F — Hibernian Guards of Cleveland, Ohio  96 men.
Company G — Portsmouth Guards of Portsmouth, Ohio. . . .74 men.
Company H — Zanesville Guards of Zanesville, Ohio  75 men.
Company I — Mansfield Guards of Mansfield, Ohio  80 men.
Company K — ^Jackson Guards of Hamilton, Ohio  60 men.
The regiment saw service at Vienna, Virginia, June 17, 1861,
at which place nine men were killed and two wounded.
During the Battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861, it was posted with
other regiments of Tyler's Division at the Stone Bridge, while Mc
Dowell's main army made the flanking movement to the right to
Sudley Springs, and thence to the battlefield across Young's Branch.
Loss: 3 killed, 2 wounded, and 2 missing. The regiment was mus
tered out on August 16, 1861.
Excitement over the continued progress of the war during the
remainder of the year 1861, made the re-organization of the regi
ment not difficult of accomplishment.
Between the dates of August 5, and 30, the requisite number of
men were obtained at the camp of assembly — Camp Corwin — near
Dayton, Ohio.
On October 31, 1861, the command left Camp Corwin for Cin
cinnati. At this city headquarters were established in an old build
ing at the corner of Fourth and Elm streets. On November 4, arms
and equipments were issued. It may be noted as an item of interest,
that the stress for arms was indicated in the giving the men re
formed old service muskets, 69 calibre guns, changed from the flint
system by the Greenwood Company of Cincinnati, to the percussion
system and hurriedly rifled to take the then new type of Minie
bullets. These old guns rendered reasonably good service, but will
(5)

always be remembered by the survivors of the First Ohio, as giv
ing a prodigous "kick" when the heavy charge was fired.
On November 5, river steamer Telegraph bore the regiment
southward to Louisville where it arrived at midnight. From Camp
York on November 8, the route was resumed to West Point, and
from thence to Camp Nevin by way of Elizabethtown.
While at this camp the regiment was assigned for duty in the
Second Division under the command of General McCook — Army
of the Cumberland. The brigade was composed of the fifth Ken
tucky (Louisville Legion), the sixth Indiana, the fifteenth U. S.
Battalion of Regulars, and also battalions from the sixteenth and
nineteenth U. S. Regulars — thus forming the Fourth Brigade of the
Second Division. On the nineteenth day of December, 1861, the
regiment marched to Bacon Creek, and from thence to Green River
where I arrived on the twenty-seventh. The arrival at Green River
was -in the afternoon, so after the engagement of the Thirty-second
Indiana under Col. Willich with the Confederates in which eleven
were killed. Here was first seen dead soldiers lying where they
fell in action.
No further movement was made for some time. Drilling pre
paratory for field service was given constant attention. On Febru
ary 14, 1862, the regiment returned to West Point and was put on
board of river steamers to join General Grant's army then advanc
ing on Fort Henry. Before proceeding with the narrative of the
movements of the regiment, it should be noted that there were num
erous changes shortly made in the personnel of officers as made
during the year 1862.
Captain Gates P. Thruston was detached from the command of
Company C and detailed on the staff of Major General Alexander
McDowell McCook as chief ordance officer and on January 4, 1863,
was transferred to the staff of General W. 3. Eosencranz ranking as
general, whereupon he resigned as captain. Lieutenant Jones was
promoted to captain; Lieut. S. W. .Davies became first lieutenant
in October, 1862, and later was detailed as regimental adjutant and
in May, 1863, was commissioned captain. On August 10, 1862,
Company C was relieved as color company and assigned to the left
of the regiment, its captain then ranking as second in seniority of
the officers of like rank in the regiment.
Captain Stafford was promoted to major. Geo. A. Pomeroy,
Louis Kuhlman, Patrick O'Connel, W. L. Patterson, and R. B.
Chapel were promoted to captaincies.
The campaign of the year 1862, was now to commence with a
series of events of great interest to the First Ohio and of historic
value to the country at large.
Pursuing its forward movement the regiment reached Upton
Station, bivouacing in the snow until the morning of February 16,
when the news came of the capture of Fort Henry. This gratify
ing intelligence of the success of the Federal Army caused a counter

First Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry 7
march of the regiment to Green River, which for the second time
became a camping place for the regiment. Orders arrived on the
seventeenth and the march toward Nashville was at once resumed.
By this time the men were more fully inured to the field camping
experience and to the marching over the roads of Tennessee. Nash
ville was reached on March 3, aa the city at this time was filled with
troops and the long lines of supply trains, the regiment was moved
out on the Franklin Pike where it pitched camp.
The City of Nashville from this time to near the end of the war,
was to become a great center for many military operations, like the
small Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg its position naturally led
to this importance.
Seven roadway pikes lead out from the city, south and westward.
Along these roads backward and forward great movements were to
be made in the years coming so fast. Charlotte Pike on the N. W.
Hardin Pike, Hillsboro Pike, Granny White Pike, (about the central
one) Franklin Pike, Nolensville Pike, and farthest eastward the pike
to Murfreesboro.
_ The men of the regiment long remembered that weary march
through intense darkness, through rain, sleet, and snow, there were
no tents, blankets or shelter of any kind, and camping in the open,
desolate fields was a disappointing experience and contrast to the
comfort of the Ohio homes they had left behind them.
Stirring events, however, were at hand, for on March 16, the for
ward movement was resumed, and arriving at Duck River nearly
opposite to the town of Columbia — halt was required to await the
throwing of a bridge across the swollen river. Passage awaited for
the trains and troops of Buell's army, now arriving every hour. As
soon as the bridge was practical the First Regiment was early across,
and again took up the march for Savannah where General Grant had
directed General Buell to report for duty.
SHILOH
The Battle of Shiloh will always command particular attention
from it being the first great pitched battle of the war, and at which
neither army occupied entrenched positions.
Upon the arrival of the Federal forces at Nashville General
Johnston retreated southward and westward to form a junction with
a large force under General Beauregard, Polk's Division from Col
umbus, Bragg's from Pensacola, and a considerable force from Mo
bile. By the first of April these united forces were in the vicinity of
Corinth — twenty-two miles from Pittsburgh Landing. This army
was the largest the Confederates had as yet gathered together. It
numbered fully 38,000 men. At Corinth they prepared for action.
General Grant after the. fall of Fort Donelson moved his troops
up the Tennessee and established a camp on the west bank of the
river at -Pittsburgh Landing. He chose this position as one from
which he could await the coming of Buell's army of the Ohio, and

8 History of Ohio Troops
then when united proceed against the enemy at Corinth. It would
appear that General Grant already famous as a capable leader of the
Union Army and to grow in fame in later days at Vicksburg, and
the ultimate triumph so surely his after the Wilderness campaign
in Virginia, did not anticipate a quick initiative of the enemy im
perilling his advance at the Landing. That the furious battle now
pending came as a surprise now goes without question. The victory
of the second day was the result of the coming of the Army of the
Ohio, in which the First was to bear so glorious a part, was due
to the heroism of the troops and their skilful handling by their
leaders. The composition of the Federal Army was not fortunate,
but was, under the circumstances unavoidable. Lew Wallace's
Division arriving on the evening of the sixth, were veterans of
Donelson. The majority of the other regiments were new to the
use of arms on the field of battle, and yet their conduct aside from
the panic-stricken fugitives was commendable. The old battle
field is now a great National Park, its surface features, woods, and
roadways carefully preserved, and the field itself marked by hun
dreds of granite monuments and planted with sections of batteries.
At the time of the great battle one of the outposts was marked
by a small log church — known as "Shiloh Church" which will be the
proper name for the battleground in history, it stood at the inter
section of the Corinth and Purdy roads, in the open woods, on a
slight hill overlooking a spring branch tributary of Owl Creek. This
church stood a mile and one-half from the Landing, here on the
high ground stood two log huts, and a rude blacksmith shop, the
landing proper was on the river edge leading down a shallow ravine.
Boats put in here to land occasional freight and take on passengers.
The bank above and below consists of high bluffs, the country back
from the river is rolling, and intersected by deep ravines, covered
with brushwood, while the entire country is covered by timber,
mostly scrub oak and abundance of the water elm. The soil is clay,
becoming clammy and almost impassible in wet weather. Hamburg
lies to the left and Crumps' to right, the latter being Grant's head
quarters eleven miles away. About the church to right and left lay
five divisions of the Federal Army. Space will not allow a de
scription of the battle, which opened with a furious surprise attack
by the Confederates about 5 a.m., on Sunday morning the sixth day
of April, 1862. Despite a constant recession of the broken lines,
and while thousands of men fled to the cover of the bluffs at the
river's edge, despite fearful losses of brave men and gallant of
ficers. General Grant's army was not wholly defeated, it was
crowded at eventide in a space of a single mile, and within musket
shot of the Landing. Twenty-two cannon and some thousands of
noble soldiers stayed the advance of the enemy when darkness fell.
Buell's Advance. — The second division had arrived opposite the
Landing, but did not get across until early on Monday morning as
to General McCook's command. Nelson and Crittenden had crossed
the evening before.

First Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry 9
The First Ohio was soon actively engaged and assisted in re
pulsing repeated attempts of the enemy to recover the ground they
had lost under the earlier attacks of Nelson and Crittenden. Just
praise has been given the regiments in reports of the battle and the
effective volley firing of the regulars, (brigaded with the Finst) and
that of the regiment, the Federal line at this point of the field was
successfully held and at last after repeated efforts the enemy was
compelled to give over all attempts to break the line. Then came
later the advance of the line in pursuit, vigorously participated in
by the Sixth Indiana, the First Ohio and the Louisville Legion
(Fifth Kentucky) aided handsomely by the regulars brigaded with
them. Back and forth the battle swayed, attacked in front by in
fantry and at times enfiladed by artillery fire, the First Ohio earned
well deserved praise by its tenacious fighting qualities. No menv
ber of the First can ever forget the splendid soldiership of General
Rousseau — General Dodge is credited with this statement — "that
at the most important juncture when the enemy's line was about to
be broken in retreat." General Rousseau observed that the First Ohio
at the double-quick was crossing an open field to his right and front,
he galloped up, and ordered the regiment to halt, he not having
directed its advance ; but upon being informed that it was the order
of General Grant, who was near by, it was put in motion, and ad
vanced some three-hundred yards when it was halted, and a combat
ensued between it and a rebel force occupying a portion of one of
our camps. The fire of the regiment was rapid and fatal, and the
enemy soon fled. The loss of the First Ohio in this last action
was eighteen wounded. Next day 680 rebel dead were buried in
front of McCook's Division where the conflict had been the most
severe, in the division ninety-eight were killed and seven hundred
and thirty wounded, a total of 828.
The First Ohio lost 50 men and officers killed and wounded.
The position held by the Second Division was vitally important,
the main Corinth road leading to the Landing, bad the enemy ob
tained this, victory would have been his, but the steady valor of the
troops caused his dire defeat. Col. B. F. Smith who commanded
the regiment was a regular officer and skillfully handled the men
in this battle.
In such a severe battle there must have been many interesting
personal incidents, a few of these have been gathered by the writer.
Captain Louis Kuhlman, of Company B, and Lieutenant Eman
uel T. Hooker, of Company A, were severely wounded. John Mul
len, of Company F, was the first private killed, he was twenty-five
years old and a good soldier.
Adam Dixon of Company C during the intensive firing on the
morning of the seventh, called out to his captain, Gates P. Thruston
(afterward general), that his ramrod had stuck fast in the barrel of
his musket. The captain told him to wait a bit, that there would
soon be an idle gun to be had. Shortly afterward George L. Heikes
also a member of Company C was struck by a ball through the hip.

10 History of Ohio Troops
he swung around as he fell, exclaiming, "Oh my God 1," Dixon took
up the musket of his comrade and resumed firing. Heikes was put
on board a transport after the battle and carried to Saint Louis
where he died on April 29, 1862, and strange to relate his body was
sent home and now rests in "Shiloh Cemetery" located north of Day
ton on the Covington Pike.
Mai^tin Schoop, of 'Company A, was severely wounded in the
battle, and died on a steamer near Evansville, Indiana, on April 30,
1862. Joseph Platt of Company C used to tell with great earnestness
of the scenes at the landing, when the regiment marched up the
long slope to reach the front, the crowds of fugitives who called
out to the passing members of the regiment, "Oh, boys we pity you,
you'll never come back .again — comrades mark that." "Our regi
ment is terribly cut up, only sixteen of us left — the rest all killed."
Men of the First woud answer, "Oh,. you don't say"! "Fall in
here, this is a good regiment; it's not going to run either." Platt
fell at Mission Ridge.
John Bohlander of Company B was wounded and taken pris
oner. William Hommell and Michael Eeif of Company B, and
Charles Van Skaich of Company F were among the wounded. Van
Skaich was afterward discharged because of his wound.
Thomas Westerman of Company C died at Chambersburg,
Montgomery County, Ohio, because of wounds received in the bat
tle. Robert O'Donoughue, first sergeant of Company F, who died in
Dayton recently, told the writer that near the close of the battle,
after the regiment had penetrated the enemy's hne, he came upon
a Confederate soldier of the Fourth Alabama, who surrendered to
him, throwing down the gun he still carried. O'Donoughue ordered
him to take "off his belts" the prisoner did so and was marched to
the rear. O'Donoughue retained the oval brass belt plate, which is
now in the possession of the writer. The plate corresponds in size
and shape to the well-known "U. S." plate worn by the Union
soldiers, but has the letters "C. S.", meaning "Confederate States."
Ohio has marked the positions of her troops on the field of
Shiloh in recognition of the service of her regiments on this field.
The First Ohio marker is of granite, and stands north of the
site of the church, and on the edge of the Duncan field. It marks
the stand made here by the regiment about ten o'clock on the morn
ing of the seventh.
General Lovell H. Rousseau warmly commended the conduct
of the regiment in the battle in his report which appears in the
Government publication, "Official Records of the War of the Re
bellion." Owing to the ill-treatment accorded General Grant by General
Halleck, Commander-in-chief, no official report was ever made by
General Grant, the latter's article published in the Century magazine
after the war, "General Buell's Defence of the Army of Ohio," and

First Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry 11
the valuable narrative of "General Lew Wallace's Flanking March"
written by General Whittlesey form the reliable history of this
great battle, where western "and southern men struggled for the
mastery in the first great battle of the Civil W^ar.
AFTER SHILOH
The Confederate Army disconcerted by their defeat at Shiloh,
slowly retired to their base at Corinth twenty-two miles southward.
The Federal Army pursued by easy stages, entrenching at night and
consuming six weeks in traversing the ground that an alert enemy
had marched over before the battle in two days.
General Halleck now in chief command was so impressed by the
fancied strength of Corinth that he delayed an attack until the enemy
blew up their supply trains at night and evacuated the place on May
30, 1862. General Beauregard who had succeeded the intrepid General
Albert Sydney Johnston during the Battle of Shiloh, was in com
mand of the Confederate Army. His withdrawal from Corinth was
unmolested, and arriving at Tupelo he was superceded by General
Braxton Bragg, the commander of one of the divisions at Shiloh.
Bragg had won renown in the War with Mexico in 1846-7 and was
to figure quite largely in the future mid'-west campaigns of both
armies. General Halleck occupied Corinth on the day following the evacu
ation. He instructed General Buell, commander of the Army of
the Ohio to repair the railway leading to Chattanooga, with the
object of occupying East Tennesee. Meanwhile General Bragg
transferred his troops to Chattanooga, and began his movement
northward in August for the occupation of Kentucky.
The First Ohio was a part of the advance on Corinth, taking
active and frequent part in the skirmishes incident to the march. Six
companies under Major Bassett Langdon were in action against the
enemy at Bridge Creek.
The rapid changes in the following months is graphically stated
in "Ohio in the War," from which we quote briefly: "After the
occupation of Corinth the regiment remained there doing guard duty
until June 10th when marching orders were received and the com
mand set out for Chattanooga, passing through luka, Tuscumbia,
Florence and Huntsville. At the latter place it boarded railway cars
and was transported to Bailey Fork, a tributary of the Elk River,
arriving on the seventh. On the fourteenth the regiment proceeded
by rail to assist in repelling an expected attack of the enemy at that
point. The regiment returned to Cowan Station on the eighteenth.
On August 10, General J. W. Sill was placed in command of the
brigade. On August 24, the regiment reached Pelham by marching.
At this place it joined the division under General McCook. On the
twenty-eighth the march was resumed and Altamont on the Cumber
land Mountains was reached. On the twenty-ninth and thirtieth.

12 History of Ohio Troops
reconnoisances were made down the road toward the Sequatchie
Valley." "On the afternoon of the thirtieth, the regiment marched to
Nashville — passing through Manchester, Murfreesboro, and La-
vergne. It arrived in the vicinity of Nashville on September 7, 1862.
On the tenth, the march was resumed at the hour of 7 a.m., passing
through Nashville and crossing the Cumberland River. At three
o'clock next morning with Buell's army the pursuit of Bragg became
a race, with the Federal Army coming out the winner by the twenty-
sixth. During this long forced march the men of the regiment suf
fered from the heat along the dusty roads and often from the need
of drinking water.
"After a short rest at Louisville, on October 1, the return march
began, the regiment moving out on the Frankfort Road. The town
was reached on the sixth. The column of troops to which the First
belonged was under the command of General Sill. On the ninth,
the First lo.st ten men in action at a place called Dog Walk. In this
action Lieutenant Anton Kuhlman of Company H — was wounded.
The junction with General Buell's main army was effected on the
eleventh of October, the day after the Battle of Perryville, (also
called Chaplin Hills).
The regiment camped on the field of battle where sufficient
water for cooking could hardly be obtained owing to the long
drought which had left Doctor's Creek quite dry.
"On the thirtee'nth, the march was resumed to Danville about
nine miles distant. Crab Orchard and the camp on Logan's Creek
came next. This ended the pursuit of Bragg's army and the
regiment returned to Nashville, arriving on the sixteenth of No
vember. The regiment passed through the city and encamped out
on the Pike leading to Murfreesboro. Several skirmishes with the
enemy occurred as outposts still remained in the vicinity.
"The Army of the Ohio now lost its name and was to be hence
forth known as 'The Army of the Cumberland,' a name the First
Ohio was to aid so well in making memorable for all time. General
William S. Rosecrans was the new chief in command. The regi
ment also lost its brigade commander. General Sill, he being re
placed by Gen. R. W. Johnson, Division Commander. The name
of the Corps was also changed to, 'The Twentieth .^rmy Corps,'
and assigned to the Second Division, right wing of the Army of
the Cumberland."
On December 26, 1862, General Rosecrans commenced his move
ment toward the Confederate base established by General Bragg
at Murfreesboro, where the latter hoped to remain undisturbed for
the residue of the winter. The regiment moved out on the Nolens
ville Pike about noon on the twenty-sixth, and in the midst of a
heavy rain reached Nolin's Creek at four p.m. Hardee's Confed
erate Corps contesting the advance.
"On the thirtieth day of December the Division (Johnston's)
to which the regiment belonged, arrived in the vicinity of Murfrees-

First Regiment Ohio Volunteer Inf.'\ntry 13
boro, the town lyng southward about three miles, and on a location
near the center of the State of Tennessee. The weather continued
wet and cold."
STONE RIVER
The men of the First Ohio were now rapidly becoming veterans,
accustomed to bad weather, and seasoned by the marches, the skirm
ishes and battles in which they had been engaged.
The regiment was now about to participate in the second great
battle of its history — ^Stone River, Tennessee. This battle was
fought on the last day of December 1862, and the first and second
days of January 1863.
The Battleground lies three miles northeast of the town of
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and in Rutherford County. The Con
federates call' the battle after the name of the town, the Federals
after the river, which passes over a rocky bottom at places, and
between low banks of stone, the designation is sometimes erroneously
given as "Stone's River" after some imaginary settler of tliat name.
The field remains to-day practically unchanged in its topograph
ical features, save that the larger part of the famous cedar woods
have disappeared to supply a market since the war, for cedar posts.
Efforts to have the field preserved as one of the great National
Military Parks, have so far proved unsuccessful.
The dead of the battle are interred on the field as in a National
Cemetery enclosed by a wall and carefully kept. It is located shortly
north of the intersection of the pike to Nashville with the Louis
ville & Chattanooga Railway, near the south edge of the enclosure,
rest the dead of Hazen's Brigade who fell in the battle, and on the
spot where the crest of the Confederate attack on the first day
spent its force and was repelled.
There are 6,139 Federal dead in the main cemetery, nearly one-
half of whom are unknown by name.
Again, as at Shiloh, neither party had an entrenched line, with
the exception of an abattis in the railway cut, placed by the Federals.
Bragg's army was partly astride of the river, and was composed —
Breckenridge on the right, Polk in the center and Hardee on the
left. The Federal line from left to right was formed — Crittenden on
the left, Thomas in the center, and McCook on the right.
While the Federal line was being placed on the thirtieth. General
Joe Wheeler, the energetic Confederate cavalry leader, rode with
his command around the lines and across the Nashville Pike in rear
of the Federal position, capturing a supply train of some twenty
wagons, burning the supplies and running off the horses and mules.
This aggression while annoying had but little effect upon the result
of the pending battle.
During the night of the thirtieth, the hostile lines were in close
proximity on the center and right of the Federal wing.

14 History of Ohio Troops
Early on the morning of the thirty-first, the onrush of Cheat
ham's Division of Hardee's Corps commenced, and as a result the
right wing was compelled to retire with loss and in considerable con
fusion. The recession on the right center was as far as the near
line of the Nashville Pike — most of the fugitives forcing their way
through the cedar woods, and over the vine-tangled cavities of the
stone-covered ground. But a new line at the pike and eastward of
it was sturdily formed and held its position despite the vigorous
attack made upon it. Crittenden's turning movement on the left
was recalled in time to save the main body of Federal troops still
intact. The results of the day remained with the enemy, the chief send
ing a dispatch to Richmond that the Federal army was badly used
up and defeated.
We have no space to narrate the splendid movements, etc., going
on on the second and third day's fight — to retrieve the disaster of
the first day. How the second attempt to cross the river at Mc-
Fadden F^rd on the left, was made possible by the fire of Menden-
hall's pieces, marking the advantage of well-handled artillery in re
pulsing a strong infantry attack. Of the advance of Wood's Divi
sion, and the gallant holding of the center, and the sweep across the
river toward Murfreesboro. It is an exciting story and well worth
extended reading.
On the fourth of January the army of General Rosecrans entered
as victor the town of Murfreesboro.
The First Ohio bore well its part in this great battle, the first
attack of the enemy on its front was repulsed, but another and
heavier attack compelled the line to fall back, as the troops on the
right of the First were giving way in some confusion.
In this recession the regiment unavoidably lost its formation in
the rout of the extreme right wing of Johnson's Division. But to
the lasting credit of the regiment it is justly claimed that squads of
the companies aided bravely in the defense of the new line formed
with other commands at the pike.
Captain Henry Dornbush (then Lieutenant) of Company B —
with a portion of his men repelled an advance of Confederate
cavalry. The final stand was made under Major Stafford, com
manding the regiment, aided by the Sixth Ohio.
In the actions on the first and second of January the First had
no special part. On the fourth the regiment moved into and through
Murfreesboro and camped on the Shelbyville Pike.
While at this winter camp the army was re-organized and the
regiment became part of the Second Division — twentieth Army
Corps. The regimental loss was as follows :
Eugene Roberts, Company D; Charles L. Scobie, Company D;
Henry Sharp, Company H; and John M. Dorman, Company K;
were killed.
Jacob Renner, Company B ; Thomas Dickensheets, Company C ;
Hugh Gray, and Cornelius Company D, James L. Houser ond John

.First Regi.ment Ohio Volunteer Infantry 15
T. Miller, Company E; Corporal James Robinson, Company G;
David McLeish, Company FI ; and John F. Schmidt, of Company K ;
died from wounds received in the battle.
Jesse Lewis, Company A — captured by the enemy. Frederick
Bierbaum, Company 15 — captured. The loss in the brigade was 59
killed, 244 wounded and 209 missing, a total of 512.
The men of Company C never forgot the untiring kindness and
help supplied by Captain Gates P. Thruston, and his rise to higher
rank while a matter of pride to his former company, was also a
matter of regret that they should thus lose his personal presence
with them as their captain.
On June 24, the movement toward TuUahoma began. The ob7
ject being the capture of Chattanooga. In this forward movement
— the beginning of the campaign of 1863, so momentous in the
history of the Army of the Cumberland, the First was engaged with
the enemy at Liberty Gap about twelve mile out from Murfreesboro.
On the twenty-sixth, the march was prosecuted through rain and
mud. The regiment arrived at Manchester on the twenty-ninth,
passed through the town and arrived at Tullahoma by one p.m. the
same day. At this place a lot of ammunition was discovered, and
while examining it two shells exploded killing two members of the
regiment and wounding several others. The weather continued
rainy and changeable, causing some discomfort during the forward
movement. On August sixteenth, Estell Springs, Winchester and
Salem were in turn duly reached. The route taken combined pic
turesque and rugged features, as it lay across Smoky Mountain,
through White and Paint Rock Gaps to the line of the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad.
August thirtieth, the regiment arrived at Stevenson, Alabama,
having crossed the Tennessee at Caperton's Ferry on the thirty-
first. September second, the regiment crossed Raccoon Mountain and
marched to Winston Gap. On the ninth. Lookout Mountain was
crossed after a march of twenty-three miles.
Owing to some conflict of orders, the great mountain with its
great winding roads was crossed and re-crossed a number of times,
evidencing the curious counter moves an army is frequently called
upon to make. On the sixteenth, the regiment descended to range
at Catlett's Gap near Pond Springs, marching twenty-six miles in
one day.
CHICKAMAUGA
Chickamauga lies in Walker County, Georgia, about twelve miles
from Chattanooga. In the old days an Indian tribe of this name
occupied the region, warlike and troublesome to the white settlers
who came over the mountains. The name was given to the narrow,
sluggish creek which empties into the Tennessee near Lookout
Mountain. The meaning of the word Chickamauga — the dark river

16 History of Ohio Troops
of death — was destined to become true to name when the hostile
armies gathered along its banks in September 1863.
General Rosecrans after leaving Murfreesboro in May, 1863,
by reason of skillful movements had secured Chattanooga almost
without a struggle. General Bragg, the Confederate commander,
had withdrawn his army to Lafayette, east of Chattanooga, and
beyond the mountain ranges.
The student of the events of those days cannot understand why
the Federal commander did not concentrate his forces at the town
he had so easily won, but instead he directed his divisions to operate
at wide intervals, from left to right more than forty miles apart.
It would appear that he had the ambition to attack his enemy in
flank and rear and accomplish his capture or destruction. In this
hazardous experiment he was destined to be badly disappointed,
for instead of a retreating foe he was to encounter a return stroke
of determined effort. General Bragg was about to be reinforced
by strong columns from Lee's army and would be in condition to
attack and defeat in detail the widely-separated Federal divisions.
Crawfish Springs is about half way between Lafayette and Chat
tanooga, and would form about the Union center.
Fortunately General Bragg and his division commanders were
slow in attacking, and thus enabled the Federal army to draw rapidly
together in concentration.
Chickamauga Battleground differs from many of the other places
where the hostile army movements culminated. The line of action
is something over three miles long, the Lafayette Road passing
through the field from northwest to southeast, thick woods are in
terspersed by open fields the small farm holdings of the people of
the locality. To the west is the low ridge known as "the Horseshoe"
and far to the eastward lies the uneven course of the river masked
by timber. McFarlands Gap and Rossville Gap are the outlets to
the valley going westward by south to Chattanooga twelve miles
distant. On the early morning of September 18, 1863, the Federal left
flank was at Lee & Gordon's Mills, about one and one-half miles
northward from Crawfish Springs. The march northward was
prosecuted along the road leading from Lee & Gordons to the cross
road near Cloud Springs — two miles distant. The river had several
crossings or fords, there were two trestle bridges, Alexanders Bridge
and Reeds Bridge. At Dalton's Ford Hindman's Division of Con
federate troops crossed. While Rosecrans army was passing north
ward, far into the night of the eighteenth, General Bragg's forces
were marching on the other side of the river by parallel roads, with
the intention of getting around the left flank of the Federals, and
between their position and Chattanooga. The woods on both sides
of the river masked these movements.
The battle began on the early morning of the nineteenth, when
Brannon of Crittenden's Corps engaged the enemy near Reeds
Bridge far on the Union left, and held them in check and prevented

¦.r/ittJ-'

their purpose of securing a lodgment on the Lafayette Road and be
yond the Union left flank toward Rossville.
During all the hours of that momentous day, the battle raged with
frequent shifting of the lines back and forward over the small open
fields and across the road. When night closed upon the scene, the
Federal lines, were well established though not as far in advance as
*in the morning.
During the night, Longstreet's Corps from the east began to
reach the field. This reinforcement gave the Confederates a strength
of 70,000 men as against 55,000 under Rosecrans.
Longstreet was assigned to the Confederate left wing and left
center with orders to open with an early attack upon the Federal
line. It was fully nine o'clock before the fighting began in earnest.
Owing to the smoke in the woods, and the long line of battle and
the confusion of such a scene, the General-in-chief was misinformed
as to the condition of his line of battle on the right center. He was
informed that an interval existed there which exposed the troops
to flanking attacks. He then issued the curious and misleading order
which led to opening a space in the line to the rear and right of the
Brotherton House — the Union right center — Longstreet was quick
to observe this opportunity. It was about eleven a.m. of the twenti
eth. The Confederate charge made upon the troops of Davis and
Sheridan placed as named to the right of this open space, was so
heavy that after a maddened struggle the line was doubled back and
the disordered troops finally left the field by way of McFarland
Gap, losing many prisoners and pieces of artillery.
Then followed an interval of counter attacks which delayed the
enemy's advance for several hours, enabling General Thomas to
form a new line in the rear and on the "Horseshoe Ridge" on both
sides of the Snodgrass log house, facing nearly east. The "Rock of
Chickamauga" as. Thomas was thereafter to be called, maintained
this final stand on that portion of the field, against the repeated
assaults of Longstreet's veterans. This fighting lasted all the re
mainder of the afternoon and until sundown. Gallant old General
Jim Steedman, marching from McAfee church five miles away, had
arrived and under Thomas' order preserved his right flank on the
famous ridge and not only reinforced- the line but brought many
thousands of rounds of cartridges to replenish the empty cart
ridge boxes of the soldiers.
Under orders from General Rosecrans sent back to the field
from Chattanooga — Thomas' troops slowly retired by way of Mc
Farland Gap and took post at Rossville.
Down in the valley to the northeastward, the Federal troops
were holding their own, and at last fell back in good order toward
Rossville — by way of the Lafayette Road through Rossville Gap.
It was a drawn battle, the Federals could have held the field, for it
was known after the war, from officers high in command that the
Confederates had exhausted their efforts, and had the Union troops

18 History of Ohio Troops
remained in position, they would have retired on their part. As
it was, however, the Confederates holding the field, .have claimed
the battle as their especial victory.
The Federal losses in the two days fighting was 1,656 killed;
9,749 wounded, and 4,774 missing, a total of 16,179.
The Confederate losses were singularly about the same, 2,389
killed, 13,412 wounded, 2,003 captured and missing, making a total
of 17,804. In this battle which we have thus briefly detailed the First Ohio
on the eighteenth of September, was occupied on picket duty on
the extreme right of the then Union line. On the nineteenth, about
nine o'clock, the regiment under orders marched ten miles toward
the field of battle — the sounds of the firing being plainly heard.
The regiment on arriving on the field was placed in line with the
Second Division in the front line of the Fourth Brigade. The reg
iment took immediate part in the forward movement of the Federal
line, whereby the ground lost during the early morning was regained,
and many of the captured cannon were recovered, and in addition
four pieces were captured from the enemy.
Johnson's Division to which the First Ohio belonged was posted
some distance in advance — in the Winfrey Field (some authorities
call this open space the D. C. Reed Farm).
The enemy had been heavily reinforced during the preceding
night and now made a great effort to drive back the Federal line.
All such efforts were vigorously repulsed, the men of the First Ohio,
seeking what slender shelter there was and lying down to escape
the artillery and infantry fire, performed well their part in these
repulses. About sundown General Cleburne advancing his troops
from the darkening woods beyond the open ground, made a de
termined charge with desperate courage, here was heard the shrill
"rebel yell" as they came on, but the heavy fire from the artillery and
infantry of the Union line broke the effort and. the charge failed
and was not renewed. During this attack General Baldwin, the
brigade commander was killed. This night attack ended the day's
figbting for the regiment. The division was ordered back some
distance through the woods to where the knapsacks had been de
posited in the morning. Here the wearied troops obtained needed
rest. In the search after the knapsacks a number of the men of
the regiment mistook direction and fell into the hands of the
enemy, as the lines were not very far apart.
Early on the morning of the twentieth, slight breastworks of
logs were hurriedly thrown up and preparation made to repel at
tack. The regiment was now in the second line of defense. About
eight a.m. an attack by the enemy was repelled. Then came quite
an interval of waiting with no renewal of attack.
At one p.m. a force of the enemy made its way to the flank and
rear of part of the Federal line. The regiment with the Louisville
Legion under orders faced about and drove the enemy back and
restored the line.

First Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry 19
At sunset, not from compulsion, but under orders from the
commander-in-chief — the regiment retired from the field with its
division, and after a night march arrived at Rossville.
The loss of the brigade in this battle was 57 killed, 385 wounded
and 126 missing or captured, a total of 568.
The roster of the companies will show the names of the killed,
wounded and captured of the regiment.
Company A — Had five wounded, one of whom died of his
wounds. Company B — Three men killed and seven wounded.
Company C — Two killed and one wounded, two captured.
Company E — Six wounded, four captured.
Company G — Three killed, one of these was William Riddle,
the color bearer, two captured or missing.
Company H — Two wounded, three captured.
Company I — Two killed, ten captured.
Company K — One killed, nine captured.
» INCIDENTS OF CHICKAMAUGA
J. C. Cline, of Company C, has a distinct remembrance of the
position of the regiment at McLemore's Cove — it was on the
northern part and on the forenoon of the nineteenth. The regiment's
duty of guarding the right of the army was not ordered changed
until about eleven o'clock when the regiment began its march north
ward to report to General Thomas, the Corps Commander on the
field of battle. During a part of this march the regiment was ex
posed to artillery fire from the eneiny and lost several men from
solid shot striking the files.
He states that before. going into position on the firing line the
men were required to lay aside their blankets and knapsacks which
they never saw again.
That during the night of the nineteenth, for want of axes to
cut down trees the men dragged together old tree trunks with which
they endeavored to construct rude breastworks, and piled up on
these logs, surface stone against an expected attack from the enemy.
That on the twentieth, when the discovery was made that a force
of the enemy had made its way on the flank of the position, the
regiment aided in driving out this force and in the capture of
prisoners. That this force had evidently entered the gap left by
Wood's withdrawal and made its way to the right and almost in
touch with the Union line.
Cline further relates that just before the regiment was to fall
back to a new position on the nineteenth, he was over in an angle of
the open field somewhere east of the present location of the regi
mental marker, and that to escape the fire coming froin the enemy
he took shelter in a shallow surface drain, from which while lying
down he could reload and fire back, that there were frequent musket
balls whizzing over him and that one of these balls carried away the
heel of one of his shoes.

20 History of Ohio Troops
That word was not passed along the line for retreat but that
he discovered the movement and accordingly started back running,
taking a wounded comrade along with him. This incident after
ward led to the report that he had been wounded.
That on the final retreat on the evening of the twentieth the
men did not know of the going to Rossville when the movement
began, that it was after dark, and that the road was badly encum
bered by broken wagons and other matters — the wrecltage in rear of
an army. Harrison H. Sinks, of Company C, states that most of the
drafted men who had been assigned to the First Ohio did not render
very good service, with the exception of Francis Lawless who proved
to be a good soldier. Many of those reported as missing in the
battle of Chickamauga were drafted men and were never heard
from afterward. One of these, Collins Zadoc, was seen hiding be
hind a large log, and took no part in the fighting, he was never again
with his company.
Horace Gray was the first man of the regiment to fall on this
field, he was killed while out on the skirmish line during the fore
noon of the nineteenth.
William L. Riddle, color bearer, while with his comrades lying
down behind the improvised breastwork of logs, during the night at
tack made by Cleburn's Division, became excited as the wild yell
'rose from the enemy and began looking over the top, when told to
"keep down," he replied, "That the ball was not molded that hit
me," a second later he was killed by a musket ball through his fore
head. On the morning of the twentieth, just in rear of the part of the
line occupied by the First Ohio, General Johnson, the commander
of the division, remarked to Major Stafford of the regiment, "I
don't think there will be much fighting to-day." Stafford replied.
"I hope the Lord will be on the side of the defensive?" within a
few moments — and just after nine o'clock a storm of artillery and
musket fire broke loose, worse than ever.
It is related that a white dove' bewildered by the noise of the
firing flew in and out amid the smoke clouds of the battle, and
at last flew down upon the wheel of a gun carriage. It was a
strange place for an emblem of purity and peace. It belonged to the
white flag and not to the red.
An artilleryman captured it, with his hands blackened by powder,
caressed it for a moment and then gave it wing to get away. In an
instant it was lost in the storm. Had that caressing touch been
translated into speech, can one doubt that it would have been a word
of love and memory, melodious as a song? Had that bird flown

First Regiment Ohio \'olunteer Infantry 21
away with the captor's thought can one doubt that it would have
fluttered at last at a window of the poor gunner's far-off northern
home?
CHATTANOOGA
No soldier of the old First Ohio can ever forget the sound of that
other Indian name — Chattanooga. It meant so much of his personal
experiences as a soldier, a city he had fought to obtain, one that
he had fought to defend and now was about to aid in rendering fam
ous forever in the history of the Army of the Cumberland.
The First Ohio, as stated had retired during the night of the
twentieth of September, from the field of Chickamauga, to Rossville.
The twenty-first was passed behind hastily contrived breastworks
awaiting attack, but the Confederate advance did not appear. At
noon on the twenty-second the regiment marched to Chattanooga.
The regiment was placed in the line of defense and was soon ex
posed to artillery fire from the enemy, losing one killed and having
five wounded.
On the twenty-sixth the regiment was ordered back to a second
line of defense and here had the opportunity of getting a greatly
needed spell of rest. For fully three weeks it had passed through
exciting and dangerous experiences. Col Bassett Langdon was in
command. About the twentieth of October, the twentieth Army Corps was
consolidated with the Fourth Army Corps, and the First Regiment
brigaded under General Hazen in the Third Division of that Corps.
General Rosecrans had been superceded by General Thomas, who
immediately made disposition of the troops for the defense of Chat
tanooga pending the arrival of General U. S. Grant, the new com
mander-in-chief. The dispositions made by General Thomas were
approved and left unchanged by the General on his arrival.
The advance of the Confederate lines had placed Chattanooga
in a state of siege, and the matter of forage for the animals and
food for the soldiers became a serious question. The only wagon
route for supplies to be brought in was fully sixty miles in length.
General W. F. Smith was given the task of organizing a relief
expedition by land and water.
General Flazen had already ordered the construction of fifty-
two flat-bottomed boats for pontoon purposes. These boats could
carry twenty-five men each. On the night of the twenty-sixth and
twenty-seventh of October, 1863, fifty-two squads of soldiers were
selected from the First and Ninety-third regiments to man these
boats. Embarking quietly the boats floated silently around Moccasin
Point, on the Tennessee, and below and past the point of Lookout
Mountain. The boats hugged the deep shadows of the shore, and
were fortunate enough to pass within hearing distance of some
seven miles of Confederate picket posts and escape discovery.

22 History of Ohio Troops
At daylight on the twenty-seventh, a landing was quickly effected
on the south bank of the river, and the enemy's picket outpost at
that point surprised and captured.
This spot and incident will always be memorable as "The cap
ture of Brown's Ferry."
' The land portion of the expedition soon arrived opposite and was
ferried across. By ten o'clock a pontoon bridge was laid with the
barges used as above stated. The bewildered enemy sought in vain
to drive off and dislodge the successful Federals. By this hazard
ous but successful expedition the route for getting in supplies was
shortened to a distance of twenty-eight miles, and along a safe
road by land, or to eight miles by water to Kelly's Ferry.
The Confederates claimed that this movement defrauded them
of all the fruits of Chickamauga won by them. At any rate the
siege was raised and supplies immediately came in to relieve the suf
fering army. The First had only one man wounded in the affair.
On November 23, 1863, about the noon hour, the regiment with
the Twenty-third Kentucky, under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel Bassett Langdon by direct assault captured Orchard Knob.
In this spelndid action one hundred and fifty prisoners were taken
and the enemy driven to the foot of Mission Ridge some three-
quarters of a mile away.
This small rock-bound hill now full of regimental monuments
and history tablets, as well as pieces of cannon, was soon after its
capture, taken possession of by General Grant who there established
his field headquarters.
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
Although the First Ohio Regiment had only a minor part in the
operations at the mountain, that of Brown's Ferry, near the base of
it, narrated on a previous page of this history, some reference
should be made to a locality whose towering feature was an object
impressive and grand, daily present to the view of the soldiers in
the camps below and a constant inspiration to them for the active
and perilous hours about to come. This mountain differs from- all
others, not in height or extent, but in the grandeur of its out
look, its history, natural properties and in legend and romance.
Seventy-five miles long, 2,400 feet above sea level, abounding
in springs of varying character, a huge cave, wonderful geological
stratas, botanical specimens of unsurpassed variety, tree species un
equalled, and a marvelous outlook for a distance of 125 miles.
Here morning walks to and fro from the lessening shadows of
night, and steps from height to height. Pines take fire and grey
cHffs are glorified by warm and speeding light. Here and there
clusters of poor dwellings, each lazily smoking a big chimney, seem
to be holding a morning gossip together. It is a magical region for
poet and painter, only neither of these can do it justice, or catch
the fleeting beauty of sunrise and sunset, the cloud vapors, and the

First Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry 23
light and shadow on the yellow and green landscape of the deep
valley below.
Moccasin Point, done in natures' own artistic way, the winding
Tennessee no longer of near looking muddy water, but a silver
thread from horizon to horizon. Down below lies Chattanooga,
like a collection of toy houses, Cumberland Gap far away to the
right, and glorious Mission Ridge, stretching nearer and between.
The unbeliever can here lay aside his want of faith in a Great
Being, majesty, solemnity and more than human power are present.
How the guns must have thundered above and below in war-time
days! No wonder the souls of men were uplifted into heroic deeds,
else they could not have climbed the heights of immortality, in the
onward march of our star-lit flag!
Well has the poet exclaimed —
"Where is the coward who would not dare
To fight for such a land?"
THE STORMING OF MISSION RIDGE
The Cumberland Mountains witnessed many interesting move
ments during the Civil War, but none of them will, as the old front
iersman said, "Hold a priming to Mission Ridge." November 25,
1863. After the action at Wauhatchie and the clearing of Lookout
Mountain of Confederate troops by General Hooker, the occupa
tion of Orchard Knob and the junction of General Sherman's re
inforcement, the movements of the Federal Army on the twenty-
fifth appeal to us with absorbing interest.
General Grant now in full command of the Army at Chattanooga,
planned to attack the enemy's right on Mission Ridge, and on his
right to create such a strong demonstration as would prevent him
from massing his strength against the Federal left. The center
of the enemy's line along the Ridge, was to be assailed in force
as soon as his right wing was doubled back by the attack of
Sherman. History affords but few incidents where a strong position has
been taken by troops wholly without orders.
As the traveller stands on the side of Lookout Mountain an
undulating ridge shows on the right against the sky line off across
the valley. Near by this ridge is a series of rounded tops rising
about eight hundred feet above the valley and overlooking the
modern city of Chattanooga at the head of McCallay Avenue. The
sides of the ridge are cut by numerous ravines, some of them deep,
others of slight formation. At the time of the battle the sides of the
ridge were generally covered by trees, many of these had been cut
so as to lie with the tops downward, thus affording an abbatis
against infantry attack.
From the base of the ridge to the Federal position is about three-
fourths of a mile, it was interspersed by clumps of scrub oak ; to-day

24 History of Ohio Troops
the city has almost covered this ground by streets and houses. The
National Cemetery occupies the slight elevation where a Federal
battery was planted at time of the battle. Early on the morning of
the twenty-fifth. General Sherman began his assault on the Con
federate right wing, (now designated as Sherman Heights).
All day the sounds of his battle rolled over the waiting army.
The commander-in-chief sent him reinfo'rcements at intervals, on
requests sent to head-quarters' on Orchard Knob. When afternoon
came it was apparent that he was making no progress, though hold
ing his own. The task set him was about as difficult as the one
which confronted him at Chickasaw Bluff at Vicksburg.
From Lookout Mountain relief had been expected from Hooker,
whose troops delayed by the breaking down of a bridge over the
small creek were late in arriving and in driving the enemy from the
valley end, and compelling him to join his (enemy's) left line on
the Ridge.
From left to right the Federal line was composed of the
troops of Howard's Eleventh Corps, Baird's Division of the
Fourteenth Corps, the brigades of Turchin, Vandevere and
Croxton. Wood's Division of the Fourth Corps, and the bri
gades of Beatty, Willich and Hazen. Sheridan's Division with
the brigades of Wagner, Sherman, and Harker, King's Brigade of
regulars and Johnston's Division of the Fourteenth Corps. At
the extremities of the wings were the troops of Sherman and
Hooker. The Confederate line commanded by General Bragg was com
posed of the troops of Breckenridge, Hardee, Stevens, Cle
burne, Bate and Walker.
Away up on the top slope on the eastern edge of Lookout
Mountain they point out a huge granite rock fashioned by nature
like unto a saddle, and the legend is that on this "Saddle Rock"
General Joe Hooker, one of the leaders of the eastern army,
with his staff took post to view the movements in the plain be
low and to the right. A panoramic view without parallel.
The extreme wings of the Federal line had been battering
away at the enemy, whose position along the crest of the Ridge
was regarded by their chief as impregnable. The center of that
enemy line lay there grimly waiting.
The short November afternoon was rapidly waning. General
Grant on Orchard Knob with his staff about him, was anxiously
watching through his field-glasses the aspect of the Ridge, and could
plainly see a movement of Confederate troops towaid the enemiy's
right: this could have but one meaning, Bragg was determined to
hold his right, at the expense of weakening his center and left,
which he deemed perfectly safe.
It was very near four o'clock and if a demonstration was to be
effective it was necessary to act quickly.
The Fourth Army Corps was growing impatient, the men had
been in line of battle for hours, an occasional cannon shot would

Fi«ST Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry 25
send a shell or solid ball among their ranks. Six cannon shots
were to herald the advance. They came in quick succession. The
skirmishers deployed rapidly and ran forward, the two lines of
splendid infantry advanced toward the Ridge they were to make
immortal in American history. The artillery fire from the top of the
Ridge opens upon them, men falling here and there, the wind lifts
the smoke and it drifts away over the top of the Ridge. The divi
sions of Wood and Sheridan are rapidly advancing in quick time.
The bayonets glitter as the long lines like a wave undulates over the
open ground and passes through the little groups of timber. Half
the distance is covered and the troops break into the "double quick,"
the Confederate fire increases, musketry fire from the. rifle-pits at
the base of the Ridge and along the sides is added to the fire from
five batteries of rifled Parrot guns and bronze Napoleons, canister
and shell garnish the ground with dead and wounded. Steady and
strong the lines move on,
"By heaven ! It was a splendid sight to see
For one who had no friend or brother there!"
But to all Union hearts, alas ! And thank God ! Those men were
friend and brother both in one.
The lines advanced, never halting, never faltering, they charged
up to the rifle-pits with a cheer, forked out the foe with the bayonet
and then lay down panting for breath. Yes ! They were only wait
ing for breath, then, by what seemed an impulse, the men uprose
and started onward, there were no orders, they could not remain,
they would not go back.
That hill several hundred feet high, clogged by bushes, stones,
guttered by rain, steep enough to exhaust you, as you essay the
climb to-day, how it must have been to the men, bullets coming
down upon them, as though the oak trees had shed, the trees dipt
and shorn, leaf and limb. How you attain the summit, weary and
breathless we wait to hear, how they went up in the teeth of the
storm no man can tell.
The men climb, nothing can stop them. Wood, (he of Buena
Vista, Shiloh, Stone River and Chickamauga), Turchin-crying out
brave words in broken English — and Sheridan (Little Phill) — gone
along with their dauntless soldier heroes, who bad left the rifle-pits
and entered the storm again, it was as though the line was inspired
— for these men had been in the tempest at Chickamauga and had a
measure of return for the enemy.
These men did not storm the Ridge as you would imagine, they
dash on a little way, and then slacken, they creep up hand over
hand, loading and firing as they can, wavering and halting, from
the first line of rebel works to the second, then they burst into a
cheer and go over it. It is not shoulder to shoulder, no formation,
only wild enthusiasm with flame to baptise them. On they go, un
der tree trunks, among rocks, across ravines, stumbling over the
dead, struggHng with the living, ever facing the frenzied firing from
the foe above them.

26 History of Ohio Troops .
Through the last zone of fire they are lifted into a region of
heroic grandeur. Clusters of the men have borne along the flags,
some thirteen in number, wavering, going down as the bearers fall,
snatched up by redeeming hands and again leading on at the front.
The line so led, so persistent reaches the summit and in a twinkling
is over the works bayoneting the artillerymen and capturing the
guns. Whose regimental flag was up first has been widely debated, but
bright honor's self may be proud to have borne or followed the
hindmost star-decked flag, all hand gone to the victory together.
The routed and dismayed Confederates made off rapidly down
the reverse side of the Ridge to the north and east.
The story cannot ever be adequately told, the mad excitement
of the hour of triumph. As the blue coats surged over the edge
cheer upon cheer went up — not the wild discordant yell — the Chero
kee yell — of charging Confederates, but the round hearty cheer
of the northmen. Men flung themselves upon the ground, they
laughed, they wept, shook hands, embraced, turned round and did
it all over again. They greeted General Wood with wild delight,
"Soldiers," he said, "You ought to be all court-martialed, every man
of you." Meanwhile the fiery Sheridan was urging a rapid pursuit
of the retreating enemy.
When General Granger climbed up the Ridge, after all was over,
he sat him down near Bragg's headquarters and wrote his dispatch
praising the achievements of his men, concluding with the words,
"Soldiers! I thank you! You have made this day a glorious page
of history." Around him the men were holding high revel of joy in the light
of a risen moon, and the lurid light from the burning sheds the Con
federates had so recently occupied.
Hosmer, the historian, says of Mission Ridge,
"The victory of Mission Ridge, though attended with small com
parative loss, was more important in results than many bloodier
fields ; and as regards elements of impressiveness perhaps surpasses
every other battle of the war.
East and west, fought side by side in earnest emulation. It was
the Army of the Tennessee — Vicksburg men — who struck at the
north. It was the Army of the Potomac — Gettysburg men — who
scaled Lookout Mountain, and it was the old Army of the Cumber
land — Chickamauga men — who carried Mission Ridge.
To these last, since they had suffered most, it fell appropriately
to administer the coup-de-grace.
In this battle too, for the only time, contended side by side the
four supreme Federal leaders. Grant, Sheridan, Sherman and
George H. Thomas. For the striving of these champions nature
provided a majestic theater, and rarely indeed has a battle been
attended by circumstances so profoundly picturesque.
The charge of the Army of the Cumberland, without orders up

the beetling Mission Ridge, before Grant and Thomas astounded and
anxious on Orchard Knob, was such a spectacle as human eyes
have rarely seen. Hooker's achievement on Lookout Mountain be
held among and above drifting clouds by both hosts, was a worthy
drama worthily witnessed. Sheridan, in intense interest followed
with his glass a color bearer, who in front of the line, waved his
flag dauntlessly in the charge until the mountain was carried. As
the evening deepened the full moon rose magnified at the horizon
line by atmospheric refraction. While the moon hung for a few
moments behind an eastern ridge, a charging column passed across
its disk, wierdly silhouetting the picture before the beholders, show
ing the brandished weapons and frenzied figures, wild and strange
as in a march of goblins."
Another writer very aptly says —
"Mission Ridge was the sounding board of Chickamauga. It
was behind us then, it frowns and flashes in our faces to-day. The
Old Army of the Cumberland was there ; it breasted the storm till
the storm was spent. The Old Army of the Cumberland is here ;
it shall roll up the Ridge like a surge to its summit and sweep tri
umphant down the other side. That memory and hope may have
made the heart of many a blue coat beat like a drum. That splendid
charge of the Federal line to the crest was made in fifty-five min-
tues. It was a grander march to the end of carnage. A glorious
campaign toward the borderland of peace. It made that fleeting
November afternoon immortal.
"Let this momentous event be known as 'The Battle of Mission
Ridge.' "Now that calmer days have come, men make pilgrimages, and
women smile again among the mountains of the Cumberland, but
they need no quickening ; rust may have eaten the guns, the graves
of the heroes may have subsided like waves, weary of their troubling,
the soldier and his leader may have lain down together, but there,
embossed upon the crest of Mission Ridge will stand against the blue
of the sky, its fitting monument forever."
INCIDENTS OF MISSION RIDGE
About half way up the Ridge Lieut.-Col. Bassett Langdon some
what exhausted by the climb, placed his back to a tree on the side
next to the enemy, and with his revolver in harid encouraged the
men to proceed, a rebel soldier on top aimed his rifle at the Colonel.
The ball'struck under the left eye passed through and out of his
lower jaw. The colonel fell, but raised himself and called out to
the men, "Boys ! I'm not killed yet !"
He survived the wound, and later returned to the regiment and
lived a year afterward before the effects of his wound caused his
death. Major Jacob A. Stafford was wounded and Sergeant Ogden H.
Wheeler killed.

28 History of Ohio Troops
Nineteen men were killed or died of wounds, eight men were
wounded. On the twenty-third, the regiment was encamped between Fort
Wood and Orchard Knob and was in the assault which captured the
Knob, also known as Indian Hill.
On the afternoon of the twenty-fourth, several members of the
First Ohio were standing to the right of the Knob and close by
was Captain Simonton of the Fourth Indiana Battery. Suddenly a
a cannon shot sounded from the top of the ridge, Simonton at once
exclaimed, "That's my gun !" his battery had Parrott Rifled guns,
and two of them were lost to the enemy at Chickamauga in Septem
ber. A second later the shell whistled between two of the group
and buried itself in a sand bank close in the rear, but did not ex
plode. Simonton said, "The dumb devils don't know how to load
shell " and called for pick and shovel ; these were procured and the
still hot shell was dug out of the bank where it lay.
In carrying these percussion fuse shells, in the limber chest of
a fieldpiece, the fuse was reversed for. safety. Simonton reset the
fuse, loaded it into a sister gun of his battery, laid the gun himself,
and the shell was sent back to the top of the Ridge, where a puff
of white smoke indicated that it had "gone off." On the capture
of the Ridge next day, Simonton recovered his two lost pieces.
The regiment in the advance over the open ground between three
and four o'clock on the twenty-fifth, was directly facing the ridge
in front of the Knob. J. C. Cline of Compaaiy C, states that after
the rifle pits were taken, it was impossible to remain in them ow
ing to the fire from the top, and the men began to advance in a V
shaped group at the center. Colonel Langdon pointing them to
ward the summit, "I was close at hand when, in this advance, Joseph
Platt of Centreville was struck by a ball in the abdomen ; on miy
going to his assistance he asked me to take his watch and several
other small items for his family. He wished to be dragged to one
side to escape other missiles. After the ridge was taken and about
ten o'clock at night I obtained permission to go in search of Plaitt.
I could not find him where I had left him, so I searched the small
sheds the enemy had used along the line of their riflepits at the
base of the Ridge, and in the last one I found the wounded man. He
was still alive, the doctor had told him that he would live but a short
time. Platt bravely said, 'I am ready to die, and am glad we got the
Ridge!' "
Going up the Ridge, Colonel Wiley of the Forty-first Ohio In
fantry, fell terribly wounded at the first line of riflepits. General
?Hazen rode up and said, "I hope you are not badly wounded?"- —
"Do you think we will make it ?" asked the Colonel. "I do," said the
General, "That's enough," said the gallant officer. "I can stand

this," and there he lay bleeding and content as the tide of battle
went on. What but a grand ideal inspired that soldier and sum
moned back his ebbing soul, as he lay there with closed eyes, the
blue wave of which he had a part, was to roll over the height
like a billow of immortal glory.
The regimental colors were struck down, but Major Stafford,
caught them up, and though wounded, led the charge to the top.
When the men of Company C, reached the crest there were
two field-guns directly in front, one was ready to be fired, but the
Irish artilleryman failed to explode the charge when he pulled the
lanyard. Cline, Sinks, and Dixon, of the company, undertook to
reverse the gun. In working at the trail handspike, Dixon was shot
through the lower part of his body. After the gun was reversed
the Confederate artilleryman refused to fire it after his retreating
comrades, though threatened with being shot down for his refusal.
Dixon's comrades primed the gun with powder from a cartridge
bag, and the gun was fired after the enemy. Dixon recovered from
his severe wound and served for some years as a member of the
Main Street engine crew on Main Street, in Dayton. The shot
that struck him came from the right flank where others of the
regiment had not yet driven away the enemy in the advance. The
gunners attached to the other piece endeavored to get it away by
driving down the east slope of the Ridge, but John Archer (a
drafted man who had joined the regiment in October and had no
uniform overcoat) ran down ahead of the artillery team and shot
down one of the horses, this stopped the escape and the gun was
captured .
J. C. Cline also states that the brigade captured in all, twelve
pieces of artillery, and that the infantry opposed to the First Ohio
belonged to the Tenth Alabama C. S. A.
In the Century article written for General Grant, the General
is credited with saying, "Without waiting for further orders or
stopping to reform, our troops went on to the second line of works,
over that and on for the crest — thus effectually carrying out my
orders of the eighteenth for the battle and of the twenty-fourth
for the charge."
This is a manifest error, but to-day one does not blame the
General for claiming the great triumph his troops had won. For
the sake of the truth of history, however, we demur to the above
statement. After the war General Thomas J. Wood was long a
resident of Dayton, Ohio, and he stated to the writer, "that a brother
officer of his was standing quite near General Grant on Orchard
Knob — that he observed the General as he anxiously watched the
movement of the troops as they began leaving the riflepits and
set off up the ridge. The general was heard to exclaim angrily,
"Wood shall pay for this disobedience of my orders." An aide
was sent to ride to the ridge and stop the assault. The aide did not
arrive until after the crest had been gained. He found General

30 History of Ohio Troops
Wood directing his men to gather the captured cannon, and called
out to him, "You are a lucky man, had this assault failed, off would
have gone your head."
THE RELIEF OF KNOXVILLE
On the twenty-eighth of November, 1863, the First Ohio took
part in the marcli from Chattanooga for the relief of Knoxville.
General Burnside had been assigned for duty in the southwest after
his somewhat unsuccessful career as a leader in the Army of the
Potomac. The Federal occupation of Knoxville was mainly for the pro
tection of eastern Tennessee — where the Union element had long
deserved greater assistance than had been accorded it by the author
ities at Washington.
The Confederate General Longstreet after Chickamauga had
been directed to operate in upper Tennessee.
The march was the worst ever experienced by the regiment, the
weather had become extremely wintry and severe for that region.
The men had no blankets, no tents, and but scanty rations. The
roads were rough and at places almost impassable. Artillery car
riages would get stalled in the half-frozen mud, and the infantry
was often detailed to help out the teams. Toiling along under
these difficulties the regiment had a brisk skirmish at Dandridge
on January 17, 1864, and sustained some loss.
Longstreet had raised the siege of Knoxville when it was known
that reinforcements were on the way. His unsuccessful assault
on Fort Saimders decimated his troops with no result save the ne
cessity of retreat eastward.
The pursuit of the retreating Confederates was not prosecuted
with very great vigor, the severe weather presenting the best re
sults against the sullen foe.
While at Strawberry Plains, east of Knoxville — it was decided
to give over further pursuit. The men of the regiment were asked
veteranize by re-enlisting, a promise of bounty and a furlough home
made tempting offers, but they failed of success.
Incident,
"Morgan got your mule?" had been a common saying among the
troops, and the incident is recalled that while the regiment lay at
Strawberry Plains, one day General Hazen came riding along on
his horse, he was accompanied by General T. J. Wood, who was
mounted on a mule. At once the men standing about the camp-
fires, began calling out, "Here's your mule!" General Hazen be
came very angry. General Wood, who better understood the men,
only laughed over it.
An effort was immediately made through General Hazen's
orders to find out who started the cry.
W. H. Bevinger of Company E — stated that it was a soldier
named Alfred Cook of Company E, but the amusing thing was.

First Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry 31
that shortly before the incident occurred. Cook had lost his speech
and was unable to speak above a hoarse whisper. No discovery
was ever made, and the matter was dropped. The cry was often
repeated as a camp joke.
THE YEAR OF 1864
On May 4, 1864, the great campaign for Atlanta was commenced
by General W. T. Sherman. This famous general was now to
enter upon his last and greatest campaign, the mountain campaign
of Georgia, wherein his military genius was to have untrammelled
scope, with abundant military stores and an army of seasoned sol
diers largely outnumbering that of General Braxton Bragg, the Con
federate commander, his success was assured as soon as the army
moved out from Chattanooga, where the lines were now forever
safe from any more successful operations of the enemy. The
regiment took part in a skirmish at Buzzard's Roost in which Cap
tain Henry Dornbush of Company E, was wounded. Three soldiers
were killed and six wounded in this action.
On May 14 and 15, the regiment took part in the battle of
Resaca, where Captain Louis Kublman of Company B, was wound
ed, four men killed and five wounded.
In this battle Sergeant Joseph Fleming of Company C, led the
charge and fell at the head of the men.
Fleming was only eighteen years old when he enlisted, he proved
to be a brave soldier and was well liked by the men of his Company,
they often relieved him from extra duty. During the march to
Knoxville, Fleming often stated to his comrades that his dreams
told him that he would not survive the next battle. He spoke
of his great longing to see his home once more and visit his folks.
He became the first man to offer re-enlistment as this offered a
furlough as a premium, as this did not come to pass, the regiment
entered the campaign of 1864, with Joe's wish imgiatified. During
the advance at Resaca, Fleming again spoke of his dreams and the
warning of his death. His comrades laughed at this premonition
and pffered to get him excused from going into action that day
(May 15), but he gallantly refused to be so shielded.
On the fifteenth when the command was given for the regiment
to charge the Confederate position, occupied by artillery and in
fantry. Fleming was ready and stood just in front of J. C. Cline,
and in the act of stepping upon a high place received a minie ball
square in the forehead, and thus his premonition came true.
In the battles at Dallas, New Hope Church and Kenesaw Moun
tain, the First Ohio had a creditable part and suffered some loss.
The fighting at Dallas and New Hope Church took place on May
25, to June 5, 1864.
On May 17, the regiment had a small affair at Burnt Hickory.

32 History of Ohio Troops
At Kenesaw Mountain, June 27, 1864, the regiment lost eight
men wounded.
At the crossing of the Chattahoochie River two members of the
regiment were killed.
As a brief summary of the history of the First Ohio, it may be
stated :
That soon after the army successfully crossed the Chattahoochie
River the term of enlistment for the majority of the members had
expired, it was mustered out by companies, the last one being dis
charged on October 14, 1864. Recruits were transferred to the
Eighteenth Veteran Regiment Ohio Infantry.
Company C was mainly enlisted in Montgomery County, Ohio, it
contained among its members many men who rose to distinction
during the war, or who in after years became efficient citizens. The
losses of the company were — killed in action, 25 ; transferred to in
valid Corps, 12 ; discharged for disabilities, 19 ; desertions, 3 ; dis
honorably dismissed, 1. At the final muster out there were forty-one
men remaining.
Company B was recruited in Dayton and vicinity. 8 w^re killed
in battle, 5 captured, 3 missing.
Company A lost 22 men, killed or died of wounds, 3 captured.
Company D lost 21, killed in battle or died of wounds, 1 miss
ing. Company E lost in battle, 8 ; died of disease, 9 ; wounded in bat
tle, 13; discharged for disability, 11; missing, 2; captured, 4.
Company F, 11 were killed or died of wounds, none captured
or missing. Company G, chief loss was at Chickamauga, 17 men killed or
mortally wounded. '
Company H, killed in battle, 12; wounded, 28; died of disease,
8 ; discharged for disability, 22. Only 22 men of the original
company were mustered out.
Company I, killed or died of wounds, 17; captured, 11 ; missing,
2. William McLaughlin of this Company was killed while carrying
the colors at the storming of Mission Ridge.
Company K, killed in battle or died of wounds, 12 ; captured at
Chickamauga, 6.
For detailed and precise account of the casualities and other
data reference should be had to the full roster of the regiment which
is appended to this history as a part thereof.

First Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry 33
The First Ohio Regiment participated in twenty-four battles and
skirmishes. The regiment lost 527 men in killed and wounded.
The distances actually marched by the regiment would foot up
fully 2,500 miles, to which must be added the transport by train or
river steamers of 958 miles additional.

The history and record of the First Ohio Volunteer Infantry
during its term of service for three years will compare favorably
with that of any other organization, among the many splendid reg
iments sent out from the State of Ohio in the Civil War.
The excellent quality of the rank and file made the organization
and work in the field comparatively easy of accomplishment. Several
of the officers were veterans of tried experience, others of less edu
cation in a military life, yet possessed traits of character speedily
insuring them promotion as leaders and officers in advanced grades.
The battles of the regiment were those' of vast importance and
of great hazard in the struggle upon which the north and south had
unfortunately entered. Men of the same race, like unto brothers,
were at issue in that worst of all wars — a civil contest.
Noted writers and speakers of the south have candidly admitted
that it was — in the Providence of God — it was not to be a divided
country, these men believed they were right and tendered their lives
in their cause. We do not now question their motives, they were
mistaken — and the sword decided for what the northern man be
lieved to be the right. The result has more than justified the price
paid in blood and treasure, for a united country has resulted, to the
heartfelt acceptance of every true patriot.
The Spanish-American 'War was the first great healing remedy,
and the southern youth brigaded with those of the north, found
themselves brothers at last and for all time. The present great

History of Ohio Troops

World War — as it is called, has rivetted the bond of steel and we
are Americans, and we have helped to make the world better for
humanity and civilization, and the American soldier with his tri
umphant star-lit Flag will stand before the nations without a peer.
The great battles of the Civil War — will ever bear a rich field
for the historian's comment.
The writer having studied the battlefields described in this his
tory has ventured to compile it in the hope that the survivors of the
old First Ohio, their families and friends will accept it as the best
endeavor the writer is capabFe of. Much of the data has been
gathered from the places themselves, from officers who served in
the field and from real heroes themselves, who carried the muskets,
and by their courage and sacrifices, won the battles, and should
have their own just need of praise.
