from its staff and slipped it into his haversack. He was left sick on his way to prison, and did not arrive for some time after; but through all his sickness he clung to the flag, and upon arriving at Camp Ford, Tex., to which place the regiment had preceded him, delivered it to the officers of the regiment for safe keeping, and it was sewed up in Capt. Gunsaullus' blouse (he then being Captain of Company F), inside of the lining, where he wore it in safety up to the time of their being exchanged, at the mouth of Red River, on the Mississippi, October 23, 1864, after an im- prisonment of six months and fifteen days. Passing down the Mississippi a short distance, they left the rebel craft and were turned over to Col. Dwight, Commissioner of Exchange. He ordered them on board the St. Mary's, where a band of music from New Orleans, and a number of ladies-wives of Union officers -- were awaiting their arrival. Upon boarding the vessel, they proceeded immediately to the upper deck. The old flag was then torn from its place of concealment (Capt. G.'s blouse), and hastily tied to a staff prepared for the occasion. At this sig- nal, the band struck up the " Star Spangled Banner," and the old flag of the Forty-eighth was unfurled to the breeze, with waving of handkerchiefs, and amid the wild shouts and deafening cheers of the released prisoners.
The flag was afterward placed in the flag room of the State House at Columbus, Ohio, where it now remains.
The rebel Assistant Agent of Exchange, Capt. Birchett (who accompanied the prisoners), on his re- turn to Camp Ford related to the remaining prisoners how the flag of the Forty-eighth Ohio, in his pres- ence, was torn from the coat of one of the officers, after they were exchanged at the mouth of Red River. He said it was one of the most exciting scenes he ever witnessed, and that the regiment deserved a great deal of credit for preserving their colors during their imprisonment.
SIXTY-EIGHTH OHIO INFANTRY.
This regiment commenced to rendezvous at Camp Latta, Napoleon, Henry County, on the 21st of No- vember, 1861. Defiance, Paulding, Williams and Fulton Counties each furnished one company, and Henry County furnished the majority of the men in the other companies. The regiment was quartered iu Sibley tents and furnished with stoves, and the men were rendered very comfortable. Rations were abundant, and of an excellent quality; and supplies of poultry, vegetables, fruit and cakes from home were received frequently. All these things made the campaign in the winter of 1861-62, in Henry County, the most pleasant campaign through which the regi-

ment ever passed. On the 21st of January, 1862, the regiment moved to Camp Chase, where it remained until the 7th of February, when it removed to Fort Donelson, Tenn., arriving on the 14th. The regi- ment was assigned to Gen. Charles F. Smith's divis- ion, and was constantly engaged in skirmishing on the left of the lines during both days' operations. After the surrender, the regiment encamped near Dover until the 15th of March, when it moved to Metal Landing, on the Tennessee, and from there by boat to Pittsburg Landing. The health of the regi- ment, until this time, had been remarkably good; but now bad weather, bad water and bad rations reduced the regiment's strength from 1,000 to less than two hundred and fifty men. The regiment was assigned to Gen. Lew Wallace's division, and during the battle of Pittsburg Landing, was engaged in guarding ordnance and supply trains. Lieut. Col. Scott and Capt. Richards, finding that the regiment was not likely to be engaged, went as volunteer aids to Gen. Thayer, and in his official report were mentioned for gallant and efficient service. During the operations around Corinth, the regiment was constantly engaged in building roads, bridges and intrenchments. After the evacuation, the Sixty-eighth, with the Twenty- third Indiana, was stationed at Bolivar, where they re-built the bridge across the Hatchie, and formed the guard along the railroad for a number of miles. The regiment participated in the battles of Iuka and Metamora, and for gallantry in the latter engage- ment was complimented in general orders. It closed the campaign of 1862 by forming the advance of an expedition, which attempted to penetrate the interior of Mississippi to Vicksburg. The design was frus- trated by the surrender of Holly Springs, and the regiment returned to Memphis. Disasters in different portions of the army, and the influence of the traitor- ons press North tended to depress the spirits of the Western army, and some regiments lost heavily by desertion; but, during this time, only one man in the Sixty-eighth was reported as a deserter. During the campaign in Mississippi, the regiment was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, Seventeenth Army Corps, and it continued to serve with the same until the close of the war.
The spring campaign of 1863 found the regiment at Lake Providence, La., where it worked hard on the Lake Providence Canal, and in a fruitless attempt to clear a passage for boats through Bayou Tensas. It was engaged, also, on a similar work at Walnut Bayou, in the vicinity of Eagle Bend. About the 10th of April, 1863, the regiment moved down to Milliken's Bend, and was for some time engaged in working on the military road toward Richmond, La. While here, Lieut. J. C. Banks, of Company C, and
Private John Snyder, of Company A, Joseph Long- bury and William Barnhart, of Company C, volun- teered to take one of the transports, a common river steamer, past the Vicksburg batteries. They accom- plished their undertaking successfully on the night of the 21st of April. On the 23d of April, the regiment began its march for the rear of Vicksburg. It
marched more than seventy miles over low bottom lands, still partly submerged, crossed innumerable bayous on bridges hastily constructed of timber from neighboring houses and cotton gins, and reached the Mississippi at Grand Gulf. The regiment moved down to Brunersburg, where it crossed the river, and by a forced march, was able to participate in the bat- tle of Thompson's Hill, May 1, 1863. The regiment followed closely after the retreating rebels, and was engaged in the battles of Raymond, Jackson, May 14, Champion Hills and Big Black. The regiment sus- tained considerable loss in all these engagements, and especially at Champion Hills. The regiment engaged in an attack on the rebel works in the rear of Vicks- burg on the 18th of May, and it participated in the assault on Fort Hill on the 22d. During the early part of the siege, the regiment was almost constantly in the trenches, and it also furnished large details of sharpshooters; but during the latter part of the siege it was placed in the Army of Observation, near Big Black. It was on the reconnoissance toward Yazoo City, in the latter part of June, and it participated in the engagement at Jackson on the 12th of July. After the battle, it guarded about six hundred prison- ers into Vicksburg. The regiment was quartered comfortably in the suburbs of Vicksburg until the middle of August, when it moved on an expedition to Monroe, La., and returned with one-third of its men either in the hospital or on the sick-list. In Octo- ber, the regiment moved on a reconnoissance with the Seventeenth Corps, and was engaged in a skirmish at Bogue Chitta Creek, and on the 5th of February, 1864, it participated in the fight at Baker's Creek, while moving on the Meridian raid. This expedition prevented the regiment from going North, on veteran furlough, as promptly as it otherwise would have gone. It was one of the first regiments in the Seven- teenth Corps to report three-fourths of its men re- enlisted, it having done so on December 15, 1863. Upon its return from the Meridian raid, the men were supplied with clothing, and the regiment em- barked for the North, leaving 170 recruits at Vicks- burg, who arrived just as the regiment was moving down to the landing. The regiment arrived at Cairo on the 23d of March and embarked on the cars, moved by way of Indianapolis, Bellefontaine and Columbus to Cleveland, where it arrived on the 26th. Through Illinois and Indiana the regiment was wel-
132

comed everywhere with banners and flags. It was en- tertained substantially at the Soldiers' Home in In- dianapolis, on the morning of the 24th, and was feasted bountifully by the citizens of Muncie, Ind., on the evening of the same. The regiment was de- tained ten days at Cleveland, before a Paymaster could be obtained, and soon after payment the regi- ment started for Toledo, where it arrived at 3 o'clock P. M., on the 6th of April. It was met by a delega- tion of citizens, headed by the Mayor of the city, with bands of music, and after marching through the principal streets it was escorted to the Island House, where a splendid dinner was in waiting. This was the first welcome the regiment had received since en- tering the State. Special trains were made up on the different roads, and by night all the men were where they felt sure of a welcome-at home. On the 7th of May, the regiment again took the cars at Cleve- land, and proceeded to Cairo by way of Cincinnati. At Cairo it was joined by the recruits left at Vicks. burg, and these, with those obtained during the fur- lough, numbered over three hundred. Here, too, the regiment turned over its old arms, and drew new Springfield muskets. On the 12th of May, the regi- ment, with more than seven hundred men for duty, embarked for Clifton, Tenn., and thence it marched, by way of Huntsville, Decatur and Rome, to Ac- worth, Ga., where it joined the main army under Sherman on the 10th of June. During the remainder of the Atlanta campaign the Sixty-eighth was under fire almost constantly. It was on the advance line for sixty-five days and nights, and it was engaged at Kene- saw, Nicojack, Atlanta, July 22 and 28, Jonesboro and Lovejoy. On the 22d of July, the regiment was engaged very heavily. It had been selected to go to the rear, and to picket the roads in the vicinity of army and corps headquarters; but upon reaching its position, it discovered in its front, instead of caval- ry, a corps of rebel infantry, while at the same time another line of rebel troops was forming across the road in its rear. Thus, the Sixty-eighth was sand- wiched between the enemy's advance and rear lines. The rebels were totally unaware of the position of this little Buckeye band. The commands of the rebel officers could be heard distinctly, and prisoners were captured almost from the rebel line of file-closers.
As the rebel line moved forward, the Sixty-eighth advanced, cheering, on the double quick, and drop- ping behind a fence poured a volley into the' rebels, who were in the open field. The batteries of Ful- ler's brigade, Sixteenth Corps, responded to the alarm thus given, and the fight opened in earnest. The Sixteenth Corps engaged the enemy so promptly that the regiment was enabled, by a rapid movement by the flank and a wide detour, to pass around the
enemy's right and re-join its brigade, which it found warmly engaged. The attack came from front and rear, and the men fought first on one side of the works and then on the other. At one time, a portion of the brigade was on one side of the works, firing heavily in one direction, while a little way lower down the line, the remainder of the brigade was on the other side of the works, firing heavily in the other direction. The left of the brigade swung back to the crest of a small hill, the right still resting on the old works, and a few rails were thrown together, forming a barricade, perhaps a foot high, when the last charge of the day was made by two rebel divisions. On they came, in splendid style, not firing a shot, arms at "right shoulder shift," officers in front, lines well dressed, following each other in quick succession. The brigade held firm until the first line had crossed a ravine in its front, and the second line of reserves could be seen coming down the opposite slope. Then came a terrific crash of musketry, and then volley after volley. The rebels fell back, leaving the ground thickly strewn with the dead and dying.
After the engagement at Lovejoy, the regiment was stationed on the Rough and Ready Road, near East Point, for two weeks, when it moved in pursuit of Hood. The regiment advanced as far as Gaylesville, Ala., and here quite a number of men were mustered out by reason of expiration of term of service. The regiment commenced its return march about the 1st of November, and moved by way of Cave Springs and Lost Mountain to Smyrna Camp Meeting Ground, where the men were supplied with clothing, and everything was thoroughly overhauled. The railroad was destroyed, and on the 14th the regiment moved to Atlanta, and at daylight on the 15th commenced the march to the sea. With the exception of an en- gagement with the Georgia militia at the crossing of the Oconee, and the destruction of the railroad buildings at Millen, the regiment experienced no variation from the easy marches and pleasant bivouacs which all enjoyed. On the 10th of December, the regiment reached the works around Savannah. On the 12th, the Seventeenth Corps moved well around to the right of the main road running from the city to King's Bridge. Here the regiment assisted in throw- ing up a heavy line of works, and furnished two companies daily, as sharpshooters. During the oper- ations around Savannah, the regiment subsisted almost entirely upon rice, which was found in large quantities near the camp, and which the men hulled and ground in rude hand-mills. Upon the occupation of the city, the regiment was ordered on guard duty in the town, and was quartered comfortably in War- ren and Oglethorpe Parks. Here, too, the regiment lost some valuable men, who were mustered out by
133

reason of expiration of term of service. A large number of commissions were received, and the regi- ment was supplied with a fine corps of young and enthusiastic officers. On the 5th of January, 1865, the regiment embarked at Thunderbolt Bay for Bean- fort, and from there it formed the advance of the corps for most of the way to Pocotaligo. Here some heavy works were thrown up, and after resting about two weeks the troop moved on the campaign of the Carolinas. The regiment marched by way of Orange- burg, Columbia, Winnsboro and Cheraw, destroying property, both public and private; but upon entering the State of North Carolina, this destruction of prop- erty was forbidden by orders from superior head quarters. The march was continued through Fayette- ville to Goldsboro, where the regiment arrived rag- ged, barefooled and bareheaded, and blackened and begrimed with the smoke of pine-knots. On the morning after its arrival, the Adjutant's report showed forty-two men barefooted, thirty-six bare headed, and 260 wearing some article of citizen's clothing. The regiment rested ten days, and then moved out to Raleigh. After the surrender of John- ston, the regiment marched, by way of Dinwiddie Court House, Petersburg, Richmond, Fredericksburg and Alexandria, to Washington City, where it partic- ipated in the grand review on the 24th of May. After the review, the Sixty-eighth camped at Tenal- lytown for a week, when it was ordered to Louis ville Ky. It went into camp about two miles from the city, and a regular system of drill and discipline was maintained until the 10th of July, when the muster- out rolls were signed, and the regiment was ordered to report to Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, for pay- ment and discharge. Upon arriving at Cleveland, the Sixty-eighth was met at the depot by a delegation of citizens, and was escorted to Monument Square, where a splendid breakfast was served. After this the regiment marched to camp, where it remained until the 18th of July, 1865, when it was paid and discharged.
During its terms of service, the regiment was on the "sacred soil" of every rebel State except Florida and Texas. It marched over seven thousand miles, and traveled by railroad and steamboat over six thousand miles. Between nineteen hundred and two thousand men belonged to the regiment, aud of these, ninety per centum were native Americans, the others being Germans, Irish, or English, the Germans predominating. Col. R. K. Scott com- manded the regiment in all its engagements ex- cept Metamora, when Lieut. Col. J. S. Snook com- manded until after the Vicksburg campaign, when the command devolved upon Lieut. Col. George E. Wells, and he continued to hold the command in all
the subsequent engagements, skirmishes and marches until the close of the war. The regiment was pre- sented with a beautiful banner, by the citizens of Henry County, just before its muster-out, it having been impracticable to send the flag to the regiment at Atlanta, as was intended. The flag was returned by Col. Wells, on behalf of the regiment, to the citizens of Henry County, and is now in the possession of Mr. Joseph Stout, of Napoleon, one of the principal donors, and always a stanch friend to the Sixty- eighth. The regimental colors were turned over to the Adjutant General of the State, and were deposited in the archives. Upon these flags, by authority from corps and department headquarters, were inscribed the names of the following battles: Fort Donelson, Pittsburg Landing, siege of Corinth, Iuka, Metam- ora, Thompson's Hills, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, Big Black, Vicksburg, May 22 and siege Jack- son, July 12, Monroe raid, Bogue Chitta, Meridian raid, Kenesaw, June 27 and siege, Nicojack, Atlanta; July 21, 22 and 28 and siege, Jonesboro, Lovejoy. Oconee, Savannah, Pocotaligo, Salkehatchie, Orange- burg, Columbia, Cheraw, Bentonville and Raleigh.

ONE-HUNDREDTH OHIO INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized at Toledo during the months of July and August, 1862, and was mus- tered into the service on the 1st of September follow- ing. On the 8th of 'September, the regiment moved to Cincinnati, for the defense of that city. On the 9th, it went into position on Covington Heights, a few rods in front and to the left of Fort Mitchel. The regiment marched for Lexington, Ky., on the 8th of October, and remained there, undergoing a thorough course of instruction, until about the 1st of December, when it moved to Richmond. It was engaged in work on the fortifications until the 26th of December, when it moved to Dan- ville, and on the 3d of January, 1863, it moved to Frankfort. Toward the last of February, it marched to Lexington, to intercept a rebel raid, and from that point it marched to Crab Orchard, Mount Vernon, Somerset and to various other points, where the pres- ence of the enemy rendered it necessary. On the 13th of August, the regiment went into camp at Danville, preparatory to the march of East Tennessee. Upon
arriving at Knoxville, a portion of the regiment was sent up to the Virginia State line, to guard the rail- road. The detachment, 240 strong, was captured by the enemy on the 4th of September, and was sent to Richmond, Va. The regiment participated in the de- fense of Knoxville, and was on active duty during its stay in East Tennessee. Early in the spring of 1864, the regiment marched in the Twenty-third Army Corps to join Gen. Sherman, then at Tunnel Hill, Ga. It moved on the Atlanta campaign, and was present at almost every battle from Rocky Face Ridge to At- lanta. On the 6th of August, it was engaged in an assault on the rebel works in front of Atlanta, with a loss of 103 men out of 300. Thirty-six men were killed on the field, and eight more died from wounds within the next thirty days. The Colonel was dis- abled for life. After the evacuation of Atlanta, it joined in the pursuit of Hood, and participated in the battles of Franklin and Nashville. It moved with the Twenty-third Corps to Washington, N. C., and was there actively engaged. It marched into the interior, and moved from Goldsboro to Raleigh with Sherman's army. It next moved to Greensboro, and from there to Cleveland, Ohio, where it was mustered out of the service on the 1st of July, 1865, having served two years and ten months from muster-in to muster-out. The One Hundredth lost, during its term of service, 65 men killed in action, 142 wounded, 27 died of wounds, 108 died of disease, 325 captured by the enemy and 85 died in rebel prisons. It partici- pated in the battles of Lenoir Station, Knoxville, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Etowah Creek, Atlanta, Columbus, Franklin, Nashville, Town Creek and Wilmington.
