MEXICAN WAR.
ROSTER AND HISTORY OF COMPANY I, THIRD REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEERS
[BY DR. J. R. MARSHALL, OF DUBLIN, O.]
The following correspondence and highly interesting paper, published by consent of a special reunion committee in Steuben- ville, during the month of August, 1879, will be found to clearly set forth everything worthy of preserving in relation to the sub- ject in question. We therefore reprint the article in its entire- ty, feeling fully assured of its accuracy :
"DUBLIN, FRANKLIN Co., O., August 6, 1879.
To Charles N. Allen, Charles McClusky, Harvey Alton, Robert Mc- Eneney and N. Teaff, Committee of Reception of Mexican War Veterans, Steubenville, Ohio :
DEAR SIRS : Inelosed I send you a brief sketch from my diary, made up from day to day, of the organization and history of company I, (Steubenville Greys), 3d regiment Ohio volunteers. In a period of thirty-three years, it is impossible to keep in the mind many events that occurred so long ago. If the publica- tion of this sketch will revive many incidents of that war in the memory of the survivors and their friends who live in and about Steubenville, and those that may visit you from a distance on the occasion of the reunion at your town on the 28th of August, you are at liberty to publish all or a part thereof, as you may think best. No preventing Providence, I shall try and come down with the Columbus delegation. Let me hear from you.
I remain, always, respectfully,
J. R. MARSHALL.

HISTORY.
The Steubenville Greys were organized immediately upon the call of President James K. Polk for troops for the Mexican war, and left Steubenville June 4, 1846, at 3 o'clock P. M. for Cincin- nati, Ohio, on the steamboat Wisconsin. The company num- bered then sixty-four men, including non-commissioned officers, and arrived at Cincinnati on the 6th inst., and went immediately into eamp, four or five miles in the rear of the city, at Camp Washington. Colonel Samuel R. Curtis was Commander of Post-afterwards Colonel of the Third Regiment. A few re- cruits were added to the company from Piqua, Ohio, making a total of 69 men. Company I was well-equipped for war on leaving Steubenville, having pans, tents and mess-chests-well filled with every convenience for army life. We were honored with camp grounds immediately in front of Curtis' Headquarters. Left Camp Washington on the 3d of July, as the Third Reg- iment of O. V. and marched to the city, where the regiment was divided into two division of five companies each. Company I, with four other companies, took passage on steamboat Tuscaloosa for New Orleans. This division was under the command of Col. Curtis. The other division was under command of Lieut. Col. McCook, and took passage on the steamboat New Era. Arrived at New Orleans, La., July 10, 1846. Left the boats and went into camp four miles below the city, at Camp Jackson, the battle-field of New Orleans. Left Camp Jackson July 13, on the brig Orleans, for Brazos Island, Texas. Came to anchor off the island July 20, 1846, on the 24th inst. were taken off the brig by steamboat and safely landed on the land after a voyage of twelve days. After resting a few days here, took up a line of march for Matamoras, via the mouth of river Rio Grande, keeping up the right bank. August 5th, arrived at Fort Brown, opposite Matamoras City, and established eamp on the bank of the river above and in the rear of Fort Brown. This camp was called Camp Curtis, in honor of our Colonel. August 18, 1846, Company I lost her first man, Jonathan Cham- bers, and he was buried the same day in his blanket, without a coffin. August 18, in the dead hour of night, the regiment crossed the river to repel a large Mexican force that was report- ed near the city. This was done for the purpose of testing the courage of the men. All appeared eager to go, arriving in the city about daylight, and during the day established Camp McCook, between the city and river, on Mexican soil. The Third Regiment remained here, except two companies, which were left in Fort Brown for garrison duty, until February 2, 1847. At about this date, on the arrival of Lieut. Gen. Win- field Scott, the Third Regiment was placed in Taylor's division, called the Army of the Rio Grande, and left on the above date for Comargo, going up the left bank of the river, arriving there on the 13th of February, 1847, traveling the distance of 160 miles. Comargo is situated on the river San Juan, three miles above
its mouth, it being a tributary to the Rio Grande, and at the head of steamboat navigation. Here we found a large Fort, called Ohio, partly completed, which we attempted to finish.
On the 17th of February, three companies, inelnding Com- pany I, left Comargo, under command of Lieutenant Colonel McCook, to garrison the town of Meir, and to do escort duty from Comargo, via. Meir, Senalvo and Monterey. About this date Gen. Santa Anna was advancing with 20,000 men on Tay- lor and Wool at Buena Vista. February 25th all communica- tion was cut off from General Taylor, and McCook's command at Meir was ordered to fall back on Comargo. March 7th we re- ceived the first news of the battle of Buena Vista, fought Feb- ruary 22 and 23, 1847, which was a complete victory to the American army. Mexican forces, 20,000; American forces, 5,400 ; Mexican loss, 5,000, killed; American loss, 700.
March 7th we received orders to advance on Monterey forth- with, taking with us four companies of Virginia troops infantry, one company of dragoons, two pieces of cannon, and a supply train for General Taylor of 123 wagons, with additional wagons for regiment and other troops. The train was from three to five miles long. We had heard of Col. Morgan's fight with a body of Mexican cavalry near Merino ; also that Major Iddings of the 1st Ohio, was hemmed in with 200 men at Senalvo, and in great danger of being eut to pieces. We hurried up to his relief. They were out of ammunition. After passing Senalvo for two days and nights, a large Mexican cavalry force was on our right and left, constantly threatening us. At this juncture we camped for the night at Ramas. Here we learned from an armed Mexi- can Ranchero that was captured that day, that they intended to give us battle four miles in advance, where a few days before they had destroyed 120 wagons, loaded with supplies, and killed a large part of the wagoners, which were left unburied, But on the next morning, arriving on the intended battle field, we were surprised to meet General Taylor with a regiment of Ar- kansas cavalry, and a small battery of three or four guns. This of course explained why they did not attack us, as General Tay- lor was now a terror to all Mexicans. General Taylor concluded to pursue this Mexican force, taking our regiment, one company of dragoons and a battery of four guns, started in pursuit. After traveling thirty or forty miles to a town ealled Cadeveta, press- ing them so closely, they left a few of our wounded, which they held as prisoners; we recaptured them, and then returned to Monterey, where we received orders to proceed to Buena Vista via. Rinconnida Pass Saltillo, and arrived March 25, 1847, on the battle field of Buena Vista. Here we remained with the main army in camp until May 18, 1847, when by the following general order we directed our steps homewards :
HEADQUARTERS, BUENA VISTA, May 16, 1847. Orders No. 190 :-
The general commanding cannot see the Ohio regiments sep- arate from his command without expressing the entire satisfac- tion which their good discipline, orderly conduet and fine mili- tary appearance have uniformly given him, and which causes him so deeply to regret they are not to be with him in the future operations against Mexico. The Second and Third Ohio regiment will return to their homes, with the consciousness that they have done great credit to their state, rendered good service to their country, and that they bear with them the hearty good will and sincere admiration of their companions and command- er. In parting with the officers and men the general wishes them a pleasant journey and happy return to their families and friends.
By command of Brigadier General Wool.
