SIXTY-FIRST INFANTRY.
THIS regiment, which contained members from almost every county in the State, had thirty-nine from Cuyahoga county in Company D. and three in Com-
pany G. It joined Fremont's army in June, 1862; soon afterwards passing under the command of Pope, and having its first fight at Freeman's Ford, on the Rappahannock in July, 1862. It also had a sharp eon- fliet at Sulphur Springs on the 23d and 24th of August, and another on the 25th at Waterloo Bridge. At the second Bull Run battle it was warmly engaged for a short time: having twenty-five killed and wounded. It was not broken up, like so many regi- ments, in that battle, and aided in covering the retreat of Pope's demoralized army. During the subsequent operations of that year the regiment was part of the reserve held for the protection of Wash - ington.
After lying in winter quarters for several months, the Sixty-first moved south with Hooker and was actively engaged in the disastrous battle of Chan- cellorsville, where it had four officers wounded, and five men killed and about thirty wounded. Its next battle was Gettysburg. where it was sent forward on the skirmish line and was driven back with heavy los%. It then took a position on Cemetery Hill, which it held till the victory was won.
In September. 1863, the Sixty-first went with the Twelfth Corps to the Army of the Cumberland. On the night of the 28th of October it was engaged in a brisk fight in the Wanhatchie valley, driving the rebels across Lookout ereek. On the 23d and 25th of November, it was engaged in the battles of Look- out Mountain and Mission Ridge.
After remaining at Bridgeport through the winter and enjoying a veteran furlough in March. 1864. the sixty-first set out early in May on the Atlanta can- paign. It was twice sharply engaged near Resaca, and again at Dallas on the 25th of May, when twenty- three of the men were killed and wounded. After numerous skirmishes, and a sharp fight near Kenesaw Mountain, it eros-ed Peachtree creek with Hooker's corps on the 20th of July, and engaged the enemy. The latter made a furious effort to drive it back across the ereek, but was repulsed with heavy loss. Ninety- five officers and men of the Sixty-first were killed and wounded. After this, the regiment was on duty in the rear, guarding bridges, cte., until after the cap- ture of Atlanta.
The regiment then marched with Sherman to the sea and through the Carolinas. At Goldsboro, North Carolina, it was consolidated with the Eighty-second Infantry; the name of the latter being retained by the combined force. The Eighty-second was mus- tered out about the 1st of September, 1865.

SIXTY-FIFTH INFANTRY.
This regiment, which was mustered into service on the 1st day of December, 1861, contained sixty-nine Cuyahoga men in Company E, twenty-nine in Com- pany I and three in Company C. It served in Ken- tueky through the winter, and in April, 1862, was present at the battle of Pittsburg Landing but was not actively engaged. The regiment was on service in northern Mississippi and Alabama and southern Tennesse until Angust, when it marched to Kentucky in pursuit of Bragg.
At the battle of Stone River, the Sixty-fifth crossed the river with its brigade on the night of the 29th of December. the men often in the water to the armpits, while the enemy was plying them with a heavy fire in front. They formed line on the farther bank, but as the supports did not come up the brigade was ordered to retire. The brigade was not actively engaged the next day, but on the morning of the 31st it was ordered to support MeCook's corps, which was being driven back. It was hotly engaged for eight hours, and its efforts were at last crowned with vic-
tory. It had three officers and thirty-eight men killed, and seven officers and a hundred and six men wounded.
Remaining in the vicinity till June, 1863, the regi- ment advanced with Rosecrans and in September fought at Chiekamanga. It was in reserve nearly all the first day, but on the second fought long and with varying success; sharing at length, however, in the defeat of the whole army. It had three officers and thirteen men killed. and five officers and sixty men wounded. At Mission Ridge the Sixty-fifth had fifteen men killed and wounded.
The Atlanta campaign was hardly less than a long battle. and the Sixty-fifth was as continuously engaged as any regiment whose records we have observed. At Resaca it had twenty-eight killed and wounded; at Dallas, six; at Marietta, twelve; at Kenesaw twelve; at Peachtree ereek, four.
After the capture of Atlanta the Sixty-fifth moved north in pursuit of Ilood, and on the 29th of Novem- ber took part in the battle of Springfield, Tennessee; having twenty-seven officers and men killed and wounded. The next day, in the battle of Franklin, it had twenty-three killed and wounded.
These numbers do not look large, but really rep- resented a large percentage of the regiment; for, after the discharge of the non-veterans on the 3rd of Oeto- ber, it contained only a hundred and thirty men. This squad of war-worn soldiers remained at Nashville until June, 1865, when it went to Texas. It served there until December, and was mustered out at Co- Imbus on the 2d of January, 1866.

SIXTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY.
Two partially formed regiments, the Forty-fifth and Sixty-seventh, were consolidated in December, 1861, under the latter name. Company G was entirely composed of Cuyahoga county men, number- ing a hundred and seven during the war. Besides this, Company C' had sixteen from that county, and Company D twenty-four; while there were a few each in Companies B. E. Il. I and K-a hundred and six- ty-five in all. From a manuscript history of Company C, furnished by Captain George L. Childs, of Cleve- land. and from other sources, we have compiled the following sketch of the regiment :
The Sixty-seventh went to northern Virginia in January, 1862, serving under Generals Lander and Shields at Paw-Paw Tunnel, and near Romney and Winchester, until spring. On the 22d and 23d of March it took part in the battle of Winchester; Colonel Kimberly being the immediate commander, though General Shields, who was wounded, was some distance away. On the second day the regiment moved three-fourths of a mile, on the double quick, across an open field. under a heavy fire, going into

action in this, its first serious battle, with the coolness of a veteran command, and aiding materially to win the vietory. Its loss was fifteen killed and thirty two wounded. It was subsequently in numerous skir- mishes at Strasburg, Woodstock, Edinburg. Mit. Jackson, etc.
After many long marches in northern Virginia, taking part in a sharp fight at Front Royal, and eov- ering the retreat of the Union army from Port Repub- lic, the Sixty-seventh went down the Chesapeake in the latter part of June to help MeClellan. On this trip it went through dangers as great as those of any battle field. The barge on which a part of the regiment was broke loose in a gale from the steamer which towed it, and tossed for an hour at the mercy of the waves; horses, arms, equipage, and ever some men being washed overboard and lost.
The command then made its way to Harrison's Landing, and on the 4th of July the Sixty-seventh was attacked just before daylight by a force of the enemy but soon repulsed it. After the army of the Potomac went north, this regiment remained at Suf- folk until January, 1863, when it was sent to Hilton Head, South Carolina. In May it proceeded to Cobb's Island. near Charleston, and for seven months was engaged in the seige of that place. For forty consee- utive days the regiment was under heavy fire. It led in the assault on Fort Wagner on the 18th of July: the Sixty-seventh and Sixty-second Ohio foreing their way into the fort in the face of a murderous fire, planting their colors on the parapet, and holding pos- session of a portion of the fortress for near ten hours. But all of the three brigade commanders present were killed or wounded, the position was commanded by the enemy on the other side of the fort, fifteen hun- dred of the assailants were disabled, it was found im- possible to advance farther, and at length all were compelled to retreat. The regiment had abont a hundred and seventy men killed and wounded.
