Losses.
In the record of losses in the regiment as they appear in the "Roll of Honor" published by the Adjutant-Generals, De- partment of Ohio, and herewith attached, there are many errors.
The roster of each company has been submitted to some of the officers and soldiers of the company for inspection, and many corrections in casualties have been made, but cannot be noted on the roster, as the rosters were printed by the state some years ago. We could only add the casualties found by the inspection made, as noted above, to the total in each com- pany and to the grand total of the regiment, and no doubt there are many others that should have been reported. The muster- out-roll of many of the companies in cavalry regiments are very imperfect, and the First Ohio is no exception in this regard. This can be accounted for by reason of the fact that cavalry regi- ments, when off on raids or other expeditions, would often not see their wagon trains for weeks and would have neither books nor paper to make reports, and when they did reach the wagons, some casualties would be overlooked and would not be reported. In some instances troopers would be dismounted by their horses either being wounded, killed or giving out, and the soldier was left to look out for himself, and was perhaps wounded or cap- tured, or both, and would be sent back to the dismounted cav- alry rendezvous, from which he would be discharged, and the "muster out" would only have him marked "missing in action."
In compiling casualties, all these matters have been to contend with by the author, and every possible effort has been made by writing letters and making inquiry of comrades at reunions and all occasions to obtain reliable information on all these points.

Three unassigned recruits died before reaching the regi- ment.
In some cases the rolls are marked "wounded in action" and then "died in hospital," and there may be a doubt whether the soldier died of wounds or disease; but of those who were killed on the field, in addition to those who died of wounds, the record shows as follows - and of this number six were com- . missioned officers.

The losses as given in the above tables make an aggregate of 461 casualties or almost 25 per cent. of the total number of enlistm nts in the regiment. The number wounded, as shown, is 134, which no doubt is too small, as the record of many of the slightly wounded does not appear on the muster-out rolls. A very conservative average is four wounded to one killed, and taking this as a basis, it would add upward of eighty to the list of wounded, which would bring the casualties up to 535 or almost 30 per cent; and after a careful examination of the records and all official data, the losses as above stated can be relied on as almost absolutely correct. The number taken prisoner was 130, and the average in each company is almost the same. No large number of prisoners were taken at any one time, but they were captured all along through the years of the war in small squads, usually when on outpost duty or scouting. Many who were captured and were only in the hands of the enemy a few days were never reported, and the number captured was remarkably small for a regiment that was in contact with the enemy as many times as the First. At the battle of Stone River, when the regiment charged clear through the lines of the enemy, and the lines were closed up both in rear and on the flanks, about one hundred men of the regiment were cap- tured, but all excepting a few cut their way out soon after- wards. About twenty were captured at Courtland, Alabama, July 25, 1862, and fifteen at Cotton Port, Tenn., September 30, 1863, this being the largest numbers captured at any one time.
The regiment was engaged in fifty-one battles and skirm- ishes, as shown by the official record on the first page of this history, and many pieket fights and skirmishes are not named; but it is known positively that the regiment was under fire upward of one hundred times. The regiment fought on many of the great and decisive battle-fields of the war, and has written in characters of blood on its battle-flag Corinth, Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, "one hundred days under fire from Chattanooga to Atlanta," the great cavalry raid under General Kilpatrick around Atlanta, the Wheeler raid through Tennessee, and the Wilson raid through Alabama and Georgia in the spring of 1865, and were in the saddle when the last gun of the war of the great rebellion was fired. The best evidence of the hard and dangerous service of a regiment are the casualties, and the graves of the heroic dead of the First Ohio dot every mountain and valley that marks the bat- tle-fields of the Army of the Ohio and Army of the Cumber- land. It was no braver nor better than many other regiments, its roll of honored dead is not as long as some others, but it never failed to respond to any and every call to duty. The record is made and the story is told. Every member of the grand old regiment is justly proud of the history of our service,

and of which he was a part; and when the last survivor has answered "Here!" and "Taps" is sounded over his grave will our descendants remember well that the goodly heritage left them of a "country one and undivided" was bought by the blood of their fathers.
The regiment was mustered out at Hilton Head, South Carolina, September 13, 1865, and discharged at Camp Chase, Ohio, September 28, 1865.

INTRODUCTORY.
THE publication of a Roster of the Soldiers of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion was authorized by the following resolution, offered by Mr. VAN CLEAF, and adopted by the Legislature, almost without opposition, on May 15, 1884:
Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That the Governor, Secretary of State and Adjutant-General be and they are hereby authorized to secure the publication, in book form, of the complete Roster of all the Regiments, or parts of Regiments, furnished by Ohio, in the War with Mexico, and in the War of the Rebellion; said publication to contain the main items of the record of each officer and soldier, so far as the same is attainable, from the rolls now in the Adjutant-General's Office, and in the War Department at Washington. And they shall begin said work as soon as practicable, and continue the same until the said printed Roster is complete; the printing and binding to be under the direction of the Commissioners of Public Printing, and the publication, when completed, shall be under the control of the officials first named, for such disposal as the General Assembly may hereafter direct.
-
The records of the War with Mexico, and the three-months' troops in the War of the Rebellion, now in possession of the Adjutant-General of Ohio, are so incomplete, and the difficulty of securing the missing rolls from the War Department at Washington so great, that it was thought best to postpone preparing a Roster of those troops until later, and work was commenced at once in preparing a record of the three-years' troops. The first volume, known as "Volume II."-Regiments 1 to 20, inclusive- was issued October 15, 1886; the second volume, known as "Volume III."- Regiments 21 to 36, inclusive-January 15, 1887 ; the third volume, known as "Volume IV."-Regiments 37 to 53, inclusive-August 15, 1887; the fourth volume, known as Volume "V."-Regiments 54 to 69, inclusive- October 15, 1887 ; the fifth volume, known as "Volume VI."-Regiments 70 ' to 86, inclusive-February 1, 1888; the sixth volume, known as "Volume VII."-Regiments 87 to 108, inclusive-August 1, 1888 ; the seventh volume, known as "Volume VIII."-Regiments 110 to 140, inclusive-December 1, 1888 ; the eighth volume, known as "Volume IX."-Regiments 141 to 184, inclusive-March 15, 1889 ; and the ninth volume, known as "Volume X,"

Great care has been exercised to avoid errors in the preparation of this work, but should any be discovered, it is earnestly requested that informa- tion concerning them be promptly given to the Adjutant-General, that they may be corrected in the "Errata," which will appear in the last volume to be issued-to be known as "Volume I."
The Legislature, on April 24, 1890, passed the following law (S. B. No. 145):

THREE YEARS' SERVICE.
THIS Regiment was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, from August 17th to October 5th, 1861, to serve three years. On the expiration of their terms of service, the original members (except veterans) were mustered out, and the organization, composed of veterans and recruits, continued in service until it was mustered out by companies, as follows : A to K, inclusive, and M September 13, 1865, at Hilton Head, S. C., and Company L September 26, 1865, at Nashville, Tenn., in accordance with orders from the War Depart- ment.
Companies A and C were ordered to West Virginia in September, 1861, and were attached to the commands of Gens. Shields and Banks, in the Shen- andoah Valley; and with the Army of Virginia under Gen. Pope and the Army of the Potomac, and as Headquarters Guard of the Cavalry Divisions of Gens. Gregg and Kilpatrick, they bore an honorable part in the campaigns and engagements in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, until the spring of 1864, when they were ordered to join the regiment.
The official list of battles in which this 'Regiment was engaged is not yet published by the War Department, but the following list has been compiled after careful research during the compilation of this work. It does not in- clude numerous battles and skirmishes in which single companies and small detachments of the regiment were engaged :
