alry at Cow Pasture River. The day after the rebels were met at Buffalo Gap, in a position secure from attack, but General Hayes' brigade succeeded in flanking and driving them out of it. Staunton was reached on the 8th of June, where the Thirty- fourth made its final preparations to join General Hunter on his disastrous raid to Lynchburg. General Hunter, now re-enforced by Generals Crook, Averill, and Duffie, left Staunton on the 9th, and passing through Brownsburg reached Lexington on the 11th. The evening of the 14th found the regiment at Buckhan- non, on the James River, at which point a few shots were exchanged with a small rebel force that had been driven out of Lexington. Crossing the Blue Ridge, near the Peaks of Otter, the town of Liberty was reached on the 16th, when another skirmish occurred. From this point General Crook's command, with the dismounted members of the Thirty-fourth, were sent on a flanking expedition across the James, for the purpose of attack ing Lynchburg in the rear, the cavalry on the left to make a diversion in their favor. The attack was made late in the after- noon of the 18th of June, was partly successful, and in the opinion of the Thirty-fourth, would have been entirely so had General Crook been allowed to occupy the city that night, according to his wish, but orders from his superior officers for- bade it. The enemy were re-enforced that night by about twenty thousand men, from the vicinity of Richmond, under the com- mand of General Early, which, of course, so strengthened the city that it was impossible, with the small and illy-appointed


force under General Hunter, to cope with the rebels The situation was fully developed early the next morning, by a fierce cannonade from the rebels, which was promptly replied to by the national forces. In the afternoon an engagement occurred in which the Thirty-fourth severely suffered. The retreat of the national forces commenced at dark, on the 19th of June. The rear, heavily pressed by the pursuing enemy, the second skirmish

occurred at Liberty. At Salem, on the 21st, while the artillery of Hunter's command was passing through a narrow defile, totally unsupported, a party of rebels made a sudden descent from the hills, and dispersing the drivers and gunners, com- menced the work of destruction by shooting horses, cutting. spokes and harness, and blowing up caissons. The mounted portion of the Thirty-fourth being a few miles in the rear, hurried to the scene of action, dismounted, and with Lieutenant Colonel Shaw as their leader, encountered the rebels. After a sharp fight the rebels were driven off, and the artillery regained. The retreat was continued. Big and Little Sewell mountains were crossed, and Charleston reached on the 1st of July, where the exhausted, ragged, and starved troops were permitted to rest. Thus ended this most disastrous expedition. The constant skir- mishing, the starved bodies, and blistered feet of those who par- ticipated in it, made " Hunter's. retreat from Lynchburg ' an event long to be remembered.


The Thirty-fourth lay at Charleston on the 10th of July, when it embarked on transports for Parkersburg. A day or two previous to this move the whole regiment was dismounted, and horses and equipments turned over to the cavalry. From Parkersburg the regiment moved by rail to Martinsburg, arriving there on the 14th of July, 1864. The regiment was now in the Shenandoah Valley. On the 20th of July, while General Crook, with his main force and the Sixth and Nineteenth corps were pressing Early back on Winchester, General Duval's brigade. of which the Thirty-fourth was a part, attempted to occupy the place in advance of the rebels, by a forced march from Martins- burg. Early, anticipating the movement, had sent forward his old division, under General Ramseur, to check it. The national force, only twelve hundred strong, met and attacked the rebels two miles from Winchester, completely routing them, capturing their artillery, and killing and wounding all their brigade com-

manders. The loss of the Thirty-fourth was ten killed and twenty wounded.


Four days later occurred the fourth battle of Winchester, in which General Early, taking advantage of the absence of the Sixth and Nineteenth corps, overwhelmed General Crook -the latter, however, effecting an orderly retreat with the loss of only a few wagons. In this battle General Duval's brigade had the honor of bringing up the rear, and the Thirty fourth suffered severely, losing their commander, Lieutenant Colonel Shaw, a cool, determined soldier and Christian. He was struck in the abdomen by a musket-ball, and was borne from the field by a few faithful men of his regiment, placed in an ambulance, and ·carried eleven miles distant, to a place called Bunker Hill, where he died. His last words were, " Welcome, welcome death !" Captain G. W. McKay was wounded, about the same time, in the leg, and would have fallen into the hands of the enemy, but for the heroic devotions of some of his men, who carried him on a litter, fifteen miles, to Sandy Hook, Maryland, where he died. The command of the regiment devolved upon Captain S. R. S. West, who fully sustained his reputation as a brave and gallant officer.


The next day, July 25th, another stand was made at Mar- tinsburg, the Thirty-fourth being the last regiment to leave the field, which it did under a galling fire. The time of the regi- ment, between the 25th of July and the 3d of September, was occupied as follows: July 26th, forded the Potomac at Wil- liamsport; 27th, marched to Sandy Hook, Maryland, opposite Harper's Ferry ; 28th, crossed the Potomac at Halltown; 30th, re-crossed to Sandy Hook; 31st, marched through Middletown, towards Pennsylvania state line. August 1st, continued the march to Wolfville, Maryland; 3d, returned by same road to Frederick City, Maryland, and encamped on the Monocacy ;

6th, returned to Harper's Ferry ; 8th, re-crossed the Potomac, and moved in the direction of Halltown; 10th, reached Berry- ville, Virginia; 11th, marched in line of battle in the direction of Port Royal -heavy skirmishing with Early, who was falling back on Fishers Hill; 12th, reached Cedar Creek, found the enemy had burned the bridge, and was intrenched on the south bank of the stream. The Thirty fourth lay here until the even ing of the 17th, skirmishing heavily in the meantime. It then fell back, marching all night, passing through Winchester, and camping at Berryville early next morning.


The 20th of August found the Thirty-fourth at Charlestown, with the enemy close in its rear. In the expectation of an at- tack breastworks were thrown up, but after waiting in vain until ten o'clock at night, the regiment fell back to Halltown. The enemy still followed, and taking a position in the immediate front of the regiment, heavy skirmishing ensued until the 27th, when they withdrew, to demonstrate on the upper Potomac.


On the day following the Thirty fourth again occupied Charlestown, where the regimental officers were busily engaged making up the necessary papers for discharge of the non-veter- ans, who, on the morning of the 3d of September, proceeded to Columbus, Ohio, in charge of Captain West During the few months previous to this time the Thirty fourth had been largely re-enforced by new recruits. Counting the veterans and the men of 1862 it still numbered between four and five hundred, present and absent. On the evening of the day on which the non- veterans left, the regiment participated in the battle of Berry- ville ; the non-veterans were near enough to hear the booming of cannon. The enemy fell back to Winchester and Bunker Hill. The Thirty-fourth marched to Summit Point, and lay in camp until the morning of the 19th of September, the day on which occurred Sheridan's famous battle of Winchester, it being the


183


THE THIRTY FOURTH.


third time the regiment had fought over nearly the same ground. It suffered terribly that day, the color guard having no less than six men, in quick succession, killed and wounded, while carry- ing the flag. It was finally brought through safe by George Rynals, of Company A. All know the result of that glorious battle, and remember Sheridan's celebrated dispatch, commenc- ing, "I am moving up the valley to-night." In accordance with this announcement, the next evening found the regiment at Cedar Creek, where it lay until the 22d, when occurred the bat- tle of Fishers Hill. Here, again, by the excellent management of General George Crook, the enemy was successfully flanked, which resulted in his total rout and the capture of all his artillery. The loss of the Thirty-fourth, in the last two engagements, was sixty one killed.


The national forces followed the retreating and demoralized enemy to Harrisonburg, where they lay until the 6th of October. In the meantime the cavalry were busily engaged in burning barns filled with grain, driving in stock of all kinds, and other- wise rendering the valley untenable as a base of supplies - liter- ally fulfilling Grant's order to Sheridan, to render it so desolate and provisionless that a " crow, in passing over it, would be compelled to carry his rations with him."


By the 6th, the work of devastation was completed, and the national army again fell back to Cedar Creek, while the enemy, following at a respectful distance, once more resumed his old position at Fishers Hill. Of General Early's desperate attempt to regain his lost laurels on the 19th of October, and of his partial success on the morning of "Sheridan's ride " to the scene of action, and the irretrievable disaster of the rebels in the afternoon, much has been said and sung The brunt of the morning's surprise and attack fell on the left flank, composed of General Crook's corps, which, with the Nineteenth Corps, occu-

pying the center of the line, was badly shattered. The Sixth Corps, on the right, had time to fall back in good order. The troops were rallied near Middletown, from whence the final advance was made which swept everything before it. It is sufficient to say that the day was won.


The evening before the battle the regiment, under command of Lieutenant Colonel L. Furney, was sent on picket. In the morning, before dawn, when the surprise occurred, the colonel and eighteen of his men were taken prisoners. The colonel escaped at Mount Jackson, and joined his command a few days afterward. The loss of the Thirty-fourth in this affair was two killed, twelve wounded, and eighteen prisoners. From this time until the latter part of December, 1864, the regiment lay in the neighborhood of Kernstown, when it marched to Opequan Crossing, and from thence to Martinsburg.


On the evening of the 22d of December, as the regiment was leaving Martinsburg, on its way to Webster, by rail, the train on which it was being transported came in collision with one loaded with coal, killing two men and wounding fourteen. It reached Webster on the 25th, and Beverly on the 28th.


On the 11th of January, 1865, the post of Beverly, garri- soned by the Thirty-fourth - which by this time was reduced to three hundred men present for duty - and the dismounted por- tion of the Eighth Ohio Cavalry, was attacked by the enemy, under the command of General Rosser. So secret and sudden was the attack - no alarm whatever being given until the enemy were in the quarters - that resistance was out of the question, and nearly every man was at one time a prisoner, though sub- sequently a great many escaped, favored by the darkness and intense excitement of the occasion. Colonel Youart, of the Eighth, commanding the post, and Colonel Furney, were both captured, but afterward escaped. The survivors of this unfortu-

nate and disgraceful affair fell back to Phillippi, and from thence were ordered to Cumberland, Maryland, where they were con- solidated with the Thirty sixth Ohio - General Crook's old regiment - commanded by Colonel H. F. Duval.


The union of the separate organizations dates from the 22d of February, 1865, in which the old Thirty-fourth loses its iden- tity, the coalition being known as the Thirty-sixth Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry.


One Hundred and Eighty-Fourth O. V. I.


This was one of the regiments raised under the last call of President Lincoln, to serve for one year. As there were Greene County soldiers in it, I give it a place.


It was organized on the 21st of February, 1865, at Camp Chase, and immediately after muster it received orders to move for Nashville without delay. It remained there a short time, doing garrison duty. From Nashville it proceeded to Chatta- nooga ; thence to Bridgeport, Alabama, which point it reached about the 21st of March, and was engaged in protecting an important railroad bridge over the Tennessee River. It also guarded the track of the railroad between Bridgeport and Chat- tanooga, a distance of about thirty miles. In the performance of this duty, detachments of the regiment stationed in the block- houses and forts along the road had frequent encounters with rebel guerrillas and squads of rebel cavalry. A number of prisoners were taken, at the expense of some few casualties.


On the 25th of July the One Hundred and Eighty-fourth was ordered to Edgefield, for garrison duty, and remained at that place until it was mustered out of service on the 20th of September. It at once proceeded, under orders, to Camp Chase, Ohio, and on the 27th of September, 1865, the men were paid and discharged.


The One Hundred and Eighty-fourth, like the majority of the one-year's regiments, was composed of excellent material-

the most of the men having seen service. Although the regi- ment did not participate in any general engagement, yet it is fair to presume that had they been called on to fight, they would have acquitted themselves with bravery and distinction.
