THE First Ohio Volunteer Light Artillery had its origin in a militia regiment, called the First Ohio Light Artillery, which was organized in 1860. It consisted of six companies; four, (A, B, Dand E) of Cleveland: one of Brooklyn and one of Genera. in Ashtabula county. It was officered by Col. James Barnett, Lieut. Col. E. B. Sturgis, Major Gates and Quartermaster Amos Townsend. Each company had but one gun: so that practically the strength of the "regiment" was only that of a six-gun battery. It took part in the Perry celebration of 1860, and in the succeeding winter the officers and men adopted a reso- lution tendering their services to the State govern- ment in case of necessity. When the storm burst in the spring of 1861, they were called on to redeem their pledge, and did so with the greatest promptness.

The telegraphic order to take the field, with twenty men per gun, came on Saturday, the 20th of April. and in the evening of the following Monday, the com. mand reached Columbus, whence it was sent to Mari- etta. On the 28th of May it entered West Virginia. Col. Barnett, with four guns, was stationed for a while at Grafton. Lieut. Col. Sturgis, with two guns, took part in the fight at Philippi, and it is stated that these were the first cannon fired by the National forces after the fall of Sumter. About the last of June the detachment rejoined the regiment, which then advanced with Gen. Morris' command to Laurel Hill, and assisted in driving the rebels from that place. They were pursued to Carriek's Ford, where they were finally and completely routed. and their commander. Gen. Garnett. was killed. The regiment was then ordered back to Columbus, where it was mustered out of the three months' service near the 26th of July.

Immediately afterwards Gov. Dennison, under authority of the War Department, ordered the regi- ment to be re-organized for three years as the First Volunteer Light Artillery, with twelve batteries, of a hundred and fifty men each. It was mustered in on the 3d of September, 1861. and was provided with a colonel, lieutenant-colonel and three majors: yet from the nature of artillery service each battery acted separately. The field officers were detached on vari- ous staff positions, and rarely had any thing to do with the batteries which were nominally under their command. It will therefore be necessary to give a slight sketeh of the services of each battery which had any considerable representation from Cuyahoga county. Of these there were no less than seven; Bat- tery A having thirty-eight Cuyahoga men during the war; Battery B. ninety-nine: C, thirty-nine; D, sixty- nine; E, sixty-two; G, a hundred and sixty-four, and K. forty-eight. Besides these. Batteries H and K hae three Cuyahogians each: I, four, and M, one; making a total of four hundred and ninety-two men, besides the field and staff.

Things were done in a somewhat slip-shod way in those early days, and at the time at which the muster- in of the regiment was dated few of the batteries were full, As these were completed, they were mus- tered in at Camp Dennison, and sent thence to the field. Following, we give an outline (necessarily brief to the extreme of meagerness) of their respective ser- vices, The roster attached has reference only to the three-years men.

BATTERY A.

Battery A was mustered into the service Septem- ber 25, 1861, and proceeded at once to Louisville, be- ing the first Ohio battery to report in that depart- ment. Remaining in Kentucky during the winter, it moved in the spring of 1862 to Pittsburg Landing, via Nashville, reaching the former place at the elose of the memorable battle fought there. It was in the advance on Corinth : marched with General McCook through Tennessee, and with Buell through Ken- tucky. During these movements a portion of the battery, being detached for the defense of Mumfords- ville, was captured by Bragg. Marching southward from Louisville in Sill's division, it participated in numerons skirmishes en route, and did not reach Perryville until three days after the battle at that point.

In the Army of the Cumberland. under Rosecrans, it operated in McCook's division. When the disaster occurred on the right at Stone River. Battery A lost four guns, but with the remaining two fought stub- bornly at every possible point: the officers and men continuing the contest until the last gun was disa- bled, and then aiding to work the guns of other batteries.

It was reorganized and equipped at Murfreesboro and assigned to the second division of the Army of the Cumberland. It participated in the movement

FIRST LIGHT ARTILLERY, ETC.

on Tullahoma and fought gallantly at Chickamauga. where by the utmost exertion it saved its guns amid the general disaster. though with a loss of seventeen men killed and wounded. It entered Chattanooga with the army and aided in the subsequent defense of that town. While marching through East Tennessee in December, 1863. and January, 1864. it fought fre- quently with the enemy's cavalry, and invariably drove them back. On the 30th of January it re en- listed, and soon returned to Ohio on veteran furlough. It subsequently joined the second division of the Fourth army corps, and took part in the entire At- lanta campaign. Returning to Tennessee with the Fourth corps, it was warmly engaged with the rebels, under Hood, at Pulaski and Columbia. It pas-ed on without further active service to Nashville: arriving just after the battle before that city. Later it was sent to New Orleans, but after a short stay was brought home and mustered out on the 31-t of July. 1865.

BATTERY B.

This battery was mustered into the service on the 8th of October, 1861, with one hundred and forty- seven men, of whom ninety-nine were from Cuyahoga county. It reported to Gen. Thoma- in Kentucky. and saw its first field service at Wildeat Camp, where it silenced a rebel gun. On the 5th of November it joined the Seventeenth Ohio Infantry at Fishing Creek, and during the ensuing month was busily en- gaged in skirmishing and-scouting. Moving on the 17th of January, 1862. to join Gien. Thomas at Mill Springs, it was in the thickest of the fight at that place, after which it proceeded to Nashville, where on the 4th of March it went into camp.

On the 29th it joined Buell's army, and, until the 10th of July, was employed in looking after the rebel cavalry then infesting Middle Tennessee. During July, August and September it was almost constantly on the march in Eastern and Middle Tennessee and Kentucky. It occupied a place on the right wing of Buell's army at the battle of Perrysville, but took no part in the action. The battery encountered no stir- ring adventure until its participation in the battle of Stone river, in which it fought with great gallantry; losing seventeen men killed, wounded and missing. Its next important service was at the battle of Chicka- mauga. On the second day of that combat it was charged by a large body of the enemy, but at first drove them back with heavy loss. Another charge was made, and, as the infantry support had given way, the battery was obliged to retreat with the loss of two of its guns.

It shared the hardships of the siege of Chattanooga; remaining near there until after the battle of Mission Ridge. It then returned to Nashville, and, on the 4th of January, 1864, sixty-five of the original mem- bers of the command re-enlisted as veterans. After they had enjoyed their thirty days furlough, the bat- tery reported to Gen. Thomas at Bridgeport, Ala. : remaining stationed at that point until July. 1866.

It was then sent to Columbus, Ohio, and mustered out: being one of the last organizations to retire from the service.

BATTERY C.

This organization was mustered into the service on the 9th of September, 1861, and on the 1st of October left Camp Dennison and reported to Gen, Thomas in Kentucky. Directly thereafter it joined an expedi- tion intended to relieve East Tennessee, and achieved signal honors at the important victory of Mill Springs. It joined Buell's army at Nashville, but did not reach Pittsburg Landing in time to take part in the battle. In the advance upon Corinth Battery C was busily engaged, and was afterwards active in the pursuit of the rebel army, formed a part of the rear-guard of Buell's army on the march to Kentucky, and at Louisville was assigned to the Fourteenth army corps. At Perryville Battery C was held in reserve near Buell's headquarters.

In October. 1862. the battery was transferred to the Fourteenth army corps. It was with Carlin's brigade in a long march to intercept lohn Morgan, and was engaged with that celebrated rebel in a sharp conflict at Rolling Fork. Ky. It fought stubbornly in the battle of Chickamauga, under the dauntless Thomas, having thirteen men and thirty horses killed and wounded, and one gun dismounted, and being warmly complimented by the distinguished general just mentioned.

Mission Ridge saw the battery again in action. After the achievement of that great victory it re-en- listed and was sent to Ohio on veteran furlough. Returning to Chattanooga in March. 1864. it left there in May to share in the Atlanta campaign. It bore a heroic part in the battles of Resaca, Cassville, New Hope Church, Peachtree Creek and the seige of Atlanta: losing twenty men in killed and wounded during the campaign.

The battery accompanied Sherman on his Savannah campaign and also on the march through the Caro- linas; during which it was in action at Averyville and Bentonville. Thenceforth it saw no more active service. and, after appearing in the grand review at Washington, it was mustered out at Cleveland on the 15th of June, 1865.

BATTERY D.

Battery D was mnstered into the service in Septent- ber. 1861. with one hundred and fifty men. of whom sixty-nine were from Cuyahoga county. On the 1st of November it left Camp Dennison and reported to General Nelson in Kentucky, and was engaged short- ly afterward- in a sharp skirmish at Joy mountain, Ky. After marching through Alabama. Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky without being in action, it fought at Mumfordsville in September, 1862, when all its men and guns were captured. The men were . paroled and returned to Camp Chase, and, upon be- ing exchanged in January, 1863. proceeded as a reor- ganized and well equipped battery to Kentucky. It

was represented by an important detachment in a suc- cessful raid through East Tennessee: participated, in July, 1863. in the capture of Cumberland Gap, and took an active and gallant part in the celebrated de- fense of Knoxville. After this the battery re-enlisted. It marched with Sherman upon Atlanta ; did excel- lent service at the battles of Franklin and Nashville, and was eventually mustered out at Cleveland on the 15th of July, 1865.

BATTERY F.

This organization was mustered in August 23, 1861, and in December joined the old Third division in Kentucky. Subsequently it followed General O. M. Mitchell through Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama, and was in General Sill's division during the pursuit of Bragg. On the 16th of November, 1862, it fought a brisk artillery duel with the First Louisiana Bat- tery at Lavergne, Tennessee, in which it was com- pletely victorious, and on the 27th of December as- sisted in driving the rebels beyond Triune. It dis- tinguished itself at Stone River; silencing a Texas battery and repulsing repeated charges of infantry and cavalry on the 30th of December. The next day, however, it was completely overwhelmed, and all its guns and twenty-five of its men were captured, be- sides twenty-three men killed and wounded. Being refurnished with guns, it took part in the battles of Chickamauga, Mission Ridge and Nashville; being es- pecially distinguished for its gallantry in the great victory last mentioned. It was mustered out on the 10th of July, 1865.

BATTERY G.

Battery G was emphatically a Cuyahoga-county institution, having, including recruits, no less than a hundred and sixty-four men from that county in its ranks. It was mustered in at Camp Dennison in December, 1861. On the 10th of February, 1862, it marched to Jeffersonville. Indiana, and on the 11th of March was ordered to join the Fifth division. On the 7th of April it entered the battle of Pittsburg Landing, and was engaged the entire day; being the only volunteer battery of Buell's army in that action. It also served with Crittenden's division throughout the siege of Corinth. After many long marches through Alabama and Tennessee, during the summer and autumn of 1862, it took part in the battle of Stone River at the end of the year, but was not in the hottest part of the fight. It was actively employed in skirmishing at Murfreesboro and on the march to Tullahoma, covered the rear in the retirement from Dug Gap, and was almost continuously under fire from the battle of Chickamauga until after the fight, at Mission Ridge.

On the 2d of December, 1863, it set out for Nash- ville, where seventy-six out of ninety-six men re- enlisted; being mustered as a veteran battery on the 4th of January, 1861.

After being stationed at Nashville during the spring and summer of 1864. it was engaged in several

sharp fights in August, while pursuing Wheeler's cavalry, which was driven across the Tennessee river. The battery also checked Hood's advance into Frank- lin on the 30th of November; losing on that occasion twenty-three men in killed and wounded. From December 2d to December 14th it was daily engaged with the enemy at Nashville; taking an active part on the latter day in the general engagement between Generals Thomas and Hood. It also fought at Ru- therford creek during Hood's retreat. During the winter it was stationed at Huntsville, Alabama.

In March, 1865, it moved with the Fourth corps into Tennessee and North Carolina; returning to Nashville in April. In June it accompanied the same corps to New Orleans; returning in Angust, 1865, to Ohio, and being mustered ont at Camp Chase on the 1st of September, 1865.

BATTERY K.

Battery K left Camp Dennison in February, 1862, joined Gen. Schenck in Maryland and moved with him into Virgima; fighting its first battle at Me- Dowell and its second at Port Republic. It after- wards moved through the Shenandoah valley with Fremont, and fought under Pope at Cedar Mountain and in other less important conflicts. It took part in a sharp engagement at Lairy's Ford; having sixteen men killed and wounded, and thirty horses killed. It was also engaged under Pope in the second battle of Bull Run.

The next year Battery K won much honor at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg; losing on the latter field thirty-two men in killed and wounded. In October following, the battery accompanied the Twentieth corps under Gen. Hooker to Chattanooga, and was engaged in the night fight in Wauhatchie valley, near that place. It closed its fighting career at Lookont Mountain and Mission Ridge. It was afterwards stationed in Northern Alabama until July, 1865, when it was sent north. and on the 17th of that month was mustered out at Camp Dennison.
