The Thirty-ninth rendezvoused at Camp Colerain in July, 1861. Seven companies were here mustered into the service, July 31st; three days after, the regiment marched to Camp Dennison, where the remainder were mustered in. It was the first Ohio regiment to join General Fremont's forces in Missouri, where it went on guard-duty in early September, along the North Missouri railroad. Five companies marched with General Sturge's to the relief of Lexington, but did not reach it in time, though moving rapidly and suffering severely. No- vember 9, it joined the army of General Hunter at Springfield, marched with it to Sedalia and Syracuse, where it remained through December and January, The next month, a long and peculiarly severe march was made to St. Louis, whence the regiment was taken to Com- merce, to join the army of General Pope. It took part in the operations by which New Madrid and Island Number 10 were captured, and in April joined General Halleck's army at Hamburgh Landing, on the Tennessee river. It was engaged in many skirmishes, losing con- siderably, until the evacuation of Corinth, which it was one of the first regiments to enter. A few weeks were then spent in guarding railroads. It took part in the battle of Iuka and in the pursuit of the enemy, returning to Corinth in time to engage in the battle of October 3 and 4. In early November, it joined the army under General Grant, at Grand Junction, Tennessee, and was much engaged in skirmishes and reconnoissances. De_ cember 18th, it moved by rail to Jackson, Tennessee, to check Forrest's movements in the rear of Grant. On the thirty-first, Forrest was met and defeated at Parker's cross roads, when the regiment moved back by very seyere marching to Corinth. It remained there till April, 1863, when it joined General Dodge's expedition to the Tuscumbia valley. In May it removed to Memphis, and in October to Prospect, Tennessee, where, Decem- ber 27th, five hundred and thirty-four of its men were re- mustered as veterans, receiving the usual furlough for thirty days. Again assembling at Camp Dennison, it received a reinforcement of one hundred and twelve re-

cruits. Its subsequent service was with the Fourth di- vision of the Sixteenth corps, under General Dodge, in northern Alabama and the campaigns through Georgia and the Carolinas.
It was in the actions at Resaca, Kenesaw Mountain, Nicojack Creek, and Atlanta, and the pursuit of Hood as far as Galesville, Alabama, whence it returned to Marietta, where, in November, it was paid for the first time in nine months and thoroughly re-equipped. It did effective work destroying railroads during the march to the sea. At Pocotaligo, South Carolina, it received two hundred and four recruits. During the march of Sherman's army northward, it was engaged at Rivers' bridge, on the Salkehatchie, at Cheraw, and at Bentonville. The march to Washington city and the grand review were passed without special incident. The regiment was mustered out of service at Louisville, July 9, 1865. Its record is considered highly honorable, in that it gave to the veteran organization more men than any other regiment from Ohio, and never once turned its back upon the enemy. Its chaplain, the first year of its service, was the famous Sunday-school missionary, Rev. B. W. Chidlaw, who did much to give the regiment character for religion and temperance. Bible readings and prayer regularly char- acterized the dress parade; and a "Christian Brother- hood" and temperance society were maintained by the regiment, including, it is said, almost every member of company K.

FORTY-SEVENTH OHIO INFANTRY.
The formation of the companies of this regiment was begun very early; but the old rule of the regular army, that a full company must be raised before the men can be mustered, hindered its organization. Hon. Charles F. Wilstach, since mayor of Cincinnati, lent his energies to its formation, and it was known from him as the "Wilstach regiment." July 29th, companies A and B were mustered in, and the remainder, of the regiment, August 13th. It was a cosmopolitan command, thirteen nationalities being represented in it, though six compa- nies were composed mostly of Americans, and the re- maining four of Germans. Frederich Poschner, jr., an ex-Prussian officer and Hungarian revolutionist, became its colonel. It joined the little army of Rosecrans in West Virginia in August, and made an exhausting march of eighteen miles the first afternoon. At Bulltown the Forty-seventh was brigaded with the Ninth and Twenty- eighth Ohio, in Colonel R. L. McCook's "Bully Dutch brigade." All the regiment, except company B (left in garrison at Sutton), took part in the battle of Carnifex Ferry. An extremely exposed and inclement encamp- ment on Big Lewell mountain followed, but it was by and by in better quarters at New Market, where it sus- tained a severe bombardment, during four days, from Floyd's rebel batteries. The Forty-seventh was here almost continually engaged in skirmishing with the rebels. After Floyd's retreat it went into winter quarters on Gauley mountain. September 19th, three companies, in command of Lieutenant Colonel Elliott, moved to Cross Lanes and spent some months in breaking up guerilla bands. December 5th, the regiment was reunited at Gauley mountain, and passed the remainder of the win- ter building fortifications, except in January, when it took part in a successful expedition against the enemy at Lit- tle Lewell mountain. In May four companies, with some cavalry, made another very fortunate raid at Lewis- burgh. At Meadow Bluffs the Twenty-seventh with the Twenty-sixth and Forty-fourth Ohio, formed the third provisional brigade of the Kenawha division. June 23d it forced General Loring from Monroe county, Virginia, to retire to Salt Pond mountain, and captured large amounts of stores. This march of ninety miles in the heat of summer, occupied but three days, and was very hard on the force, many of which were prostrated with sunstroke and exhaustion. Various operations against the guerillas and for other purposes consumed the months.
till the retreat to Gauley bridge in September, when the regiment was largely instrumental in saving the Federal forces from capture. December 30th it was embarked for Memphis. Here it was placed in the Third brigade, Second division, Thirteenth corps, and joined the expedi- tion against Vicksburgh. May 19th and 22d it was in the impetuous assault on Cemetery Hill and lost heavily. During most of the siege its camp was only three hun- dred yards from the main line of the enemy, and the pickets were so close they could almost bayonet each other. After the city was taken the regiment aided in the pursuit of Johnson's force, in the capture of Jackson, and in the destruction of the fortifications and railways about that city. It returned with its corps to Memphis the latter part of September, and was started for Corinth October 9th, as train guard. Shortly thereafter it moved near Chattanooga, and was engaged upon the extreme left in the battle of Chickamauga. It then marched to the relief of Burnside at Knoxville, scantily clothed and fed, many marching shoeless over the frozen ground and leaving their blood in their tracks. January 30, 1864, it was sent in an expedition against Rome, Georgia, and had a spirited skirmish. At Larkin's Landing, the next month, three-fourths of the men re-enlisted, and it thus became a veteran regiment, was mustered as such March 6th, and took its thirty days' furlough, arriving at Cincin- nati on the 22d. By May 3d it was again at the front, this time at Stevenson, Alabama, from which it moved in a few days to the Atlanta campaign. In this it partici- pated in the affairs at Snake Creek Gap, Resaca, Kings- ton, Dallas, New Hope Church, Big Shanty, Kenesaw, and Ezra Church. It was in the pursuit of Hood to the rear of Atlanta, upon which it was joined by four hun- dred conscripts and substitutes ; was in the famous march to the sea, and at the capture of Fort McAlister, in which its colors were the first to be planted on the works; took part in the occupation of Savannah, the march through
the Carolinas, and the great review at Washington. It was then ordered to Arkansas, and served till August IIth, when it was mustered out, but not paid off and dis- charged until August 24, 1866, when it had served four years, two months, and nine days, and campaigned through all the Star States except Missouri, Florida and Texas.

FORTY-EIGHTH OHIO INFANTRY.
Organized at Camp Dennison, February 17, 1862, the Forty-eighth was soon dispatched to General W. T. Sher- man's command at Paducah, whence it was taken up the Tennessee river to Pittsburgh Landing. It was com- manded by Colonol W. H. Gibson, now adjutant gen- eral of the State. April 6th it was heavily engaged all day, and it is believed that a shot from its lines caused the death of General Albert Sydney Johnston, command- er of the rebel army in this battle. On the second day it was also in action, and suffered severely, losing about one-third of its men in the two-days' fight. Its subse- quent battles were at Corinth, Vicksburgh, Arkansas Post, Magnolia Hills and Champion Hills, Vieksburgh again in two assaults under Grant, Jackson, the Bayou Teche, and Sabine Cross Roads. In the last action, the remnant of the Forty-eighth was captured, and not ex- changed until October, 1864, after which it took part in the capture of Mobile. A majority of the old regiment had re-enlisted as veterans, but only one hundred and sixty-five men remained in it at the close of the war. They were ordered on duty in Texas, and not mustered out of service until May, 1866.
