FORTY-SECOND INFANTRY.
1
COMPANY G of this regiment was principally from Cuyahoga county; the records showing sixty-four men from that county on it> rolls, and seven more ou those of Companies H and K. The various compa- nies were mustered at Camp Chase during the autumn of 1861; the regiment being completed by the muster of Companies G. HI, I and K. on the 26th of Novem- ber. The first colonel was the now celebrated states- man, James A. Garfield.
The Forty-second moved to Kentucky in December. and on the 10th of January. 1862. with other troops, was engaged in a sharp fight with several thousand rebels under General Humphrey Marshall. During the following night Marshall burned his baggage and fled, leaving his dead on the ground. After consid- erable other duty against guerrillas, the Forty-second was made a part of General G. W. Morgan's command, with which it marehed to Cumberland Gap, taking possession of that renowned stronghold on the 18th of June, On the 6th of July the brigade to which it belonged was attacked by a heavy body of Confederates a short distance south of the Gap, and foreed back to that point. General Morgan finally withdrew his whole command through Kentucky: the Forty-second acting as rear-guard in a very exhaustive march.
After a short excursion into Western Virginia. the regiment went down to Memphis, in November, 1862. In December it proceeded to the vicinity of Vicks- burg, and on the 29th of that month was one of the regiments which stormed the rebel intrenchments at Chickasaw Bluffs. It rushed forward in the face of a terrific fire with the utmost gallantry, but the storm of shot and shell and musketry was so murderous that it was obliged to retire, as was the rest of the assailing foree.
Early in January. 1863, the troops before Vicks- burg went up the Arkansas river and attacked Arkan- sas Post. After four hours' cannonading and several unsuccessful charges. another charge was made in which the Forty-second led the advance, but soon after it got under fire the enemy surrendered. Seven thousand prisoner, were captured.
Returning to the vicinity of Vicksburg the regiment, in the latter part of April, took a prominent part in the movement against the rear of that city. In the battle of Port Gibson it twice charged the intrench-
ments of the enemy and was compelled to fall back with heavy loss, but its courage was still unbroken and. being moved to another position, it again made a charge and carried the rebel works. The enemy then abandoned the field. This regiment lost more heavily than any other in the corps.
The Forty-second was slightly engaged at Cham- pion Hills and Big Black river, and suffered severely in the unsuccessful attack- on Vicksburg on the 19th and 22d of May. It participated in the hardships and glories of the siege and capture of Vicksburg, and soon afterward was ordered to the department of the Gulf. During the winter of 1863-4. it was stationed at Plaquemine, Louisiana. It was engaged through the spring and summer of 1864 in arduous service, (though without much fighting), in Louisiana and Arkansas, and was mustered out in the fall, as the terms of the various companies expired.
During its three years' service the Forty-second had one officer and twenty men killed, and eighteen offi- cers and three hundred and twenty-five men wounded.

FIFTY-SECOND INFANTRY.
Twenty-three men of Company I comprised the representation of Cuyahoga county in the Fifty-third Ohio Infantry. The regiment was raised by Colonel Dan. McCook in the summer of 186 ?. Its first battle was that of Perryville, where the raw soldiers stood to their work like veterans, capturing Peter's Hill after a sharp conflict, and repelling with heavy loss, the rebel foree sent to retake it. It was not in the battle of Stone River, but its left wing, while escort- ing an ammunition train to the scene of confliet, was attacked by a large force of rebel cavalry, which was completely defeated.
After serving in middle Tennessee through the spring and summer of 1863, the Fifty-second advanced with Roseerans, and on the 19th, 20th and 21st of September took part in the disastrous battle of Chiek- amauga. Most of the time it was held in reserve, and consequently it did not suffer a very serious loss. Soon afterwards it was on very severe duty for a week, without relief, in the worst of weather, holding a position under the constant fire of the rebels on Look- out mountain. The Fifty-second supported the storming columns at Mission Ridge, and was active in the pursuit of the defeated enemy. It soon after marched to the relief of Knoxville, suffering severely from the inclemeney of the weather and the seant- iness of supplies.
The next spring, 1864, the regiment went into the Atlanta eampaign. At Resaca it made a charge and defeated the enemy, but with heavy loss to itself. At Kenesaw mountain the brigade to which it be- longed attacked the rebel intrenehments with the most desperate gallantry, but was defeated with very heavy loss: the gallant Colonel McCook being mortally wounded. The regiment continued in active service until the capture of Atlanta; marehed with Sherman to the sea and through the Carolinas, and was mus- tered out in June, 1865.
