SIXTIETH OHIO INFANTRY.
The one year regiment of this number was specially intended to defend the border counties of Ohio, and for three months, in the late winter of 1861-62, and the spring of 1862, it guarded military stores at Gallipolis. In April it joined General Fremont's army in western Virginia, and had its first engagement at Strasburgh. It was soon after engaged at Port Republic, and then at Cross Keys, and shared in the disaster at Harper's Ferry in September. It was discharged October 10, 1862.
The three-years' regiment was organized in the early spring of 1864. It was ordered to the field when six companies were ready, joined General Burnside's corps at Alexandria in April, and was afterwards filled up, but never to the maximum. It was in the actions of the Wilderness, at Mary's Bridge, Spottsylvania, and the sub- sequent battles of Grant's final campaign. It was mus- tered out July 25, 1865, having, in less than one year's active service, lost five hundred and five men, but seven- teen of whom were missing.

SIXTY-FIRST OHIO INFANTRY.
This regiment contained recruits from nearly every county of Ohio. It left Camp Chase for western Vir- ginia May 17, 1862, joining General Fremont's army June 23d, at Strasburgh. It reached Cedar Mountain just too late for the battle there, but had its first fight shortly after, at Freeman's Ford, with a part of Long- street's corps, with which it had another battle in August, at Sulphur Springs. The next day it had a brisk skir- mish at Waterloo Bridge, and took part in the second Bull Run battle, losing twenty-five killed and wounded. September 2d, it was engaged at Chantilly, and there, for some weeks, formed a part of the reserve protecting Washington. The next May it was heavily engaged at Chancellorsville, and opened the battle at Gettysburgh, July Ist, suffering severely in the action. In September it was removed with its corps to Chattanooga; was engaged at Wanhatchie and Mission Ridge; marched to the relief of Knoxville; wintered at Bridgeport, Tennessee; re-en- listed in March and took its veteran furlough, reaching the front again in time to participate fully in the dangers and glories of the Atlanta campaign. In the battle of Resaca it saved the Fifth Indiana battery, from which the support had retired. It was further engaged at Dal- las, Culp's Farm, and Peach Tree Creek, in the latter of which were wounded five officers and over seventy men, and eighteen or twenty were killed. After the capture of Atlanta it remained encamped there until November · 15th, when it started on the grand movement to the sea- board. During this march it exchanged shots with the enemy but once-at Sandersonville, Georgia. In Savan- nah, the Sixty-first served temporarily in a provisional brigade, for special duty in the city. About the middle of January, 1865, it moved up the Savannah river to Sister's Ferry, and soon rejoined its own command. In the march through the Carolinas, it was only engaged at Bentonville, the last battle of the campaign, and lost sev- eral men in the action. Reaching Goldsborough, it was consolidated with the Eighty-second Ohio infantry, the latter giving its name to the new organization. The con- solidated regiment joined in the march northward to Washington, and in the famous review, soon after which it was sent home and mustered out. Mr. Ried says of the Sixty-first: "It was always a reliable regiment, and was ever found where duty called it. Its losses by the

casualties of the field were so numerous that, at the close of its service, a little band of only about sixty officers and men remained to answer to its last roll-call."

SEVENTIETH OHIO INFANTRY.
When President Lincoln made his second call for great numbers of soldiers, Ohio, as ever, was equal to the occasion. By the twenty-fifth of December, 1861, the Seventieth was nearly full. In February it became a part of the division of General W. T. Sherman, then or- ganizing at Paducah, Kentucky. Early in April it did excellent work in the battle of Pittsburgh Landing, re- ceiving especial praise from General Sherman for cour- age and persistence. In common with the rest of the army, this regiment took part in the advance on Corinth. After its fall, Sherman's division moved westward, and arriving in July at Memphis, remained there till the fol- lowing autumn. The army left that city in November, 1862, and, concentrating upon the banks of the Talla- hatchie river, prepared to invest Vicksburgh. After the fall of Vicksburgh, movement was made upon Jackson, the capital or the State, and, during the siege, the Seven- tieth are said to have behaved in a most gallant manner. A few days after the battle of Chickamauga, the Fifteenth army corps, to which it now belonged, moved up the river to Memphis, and thence through northern Missis- sippi, Alabama, and southern Tennessee, and was in the battle of Chattanooga on the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth of November. After going to Knoxville to reinforce General Burnside and returning, the Seventieth went into winter quarters at Scottsborough, Alabama. In Jan- uary, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted as a veteran organ- ization. The following May, the entire army of General Sherman began the grand advance upon' Atlanta. Dur- ing this memorable march, this command participated in all the battles on the way and around Atlanta, and main- tained in all its high reputation. During the autumn and winter months occurred the march through Georgia to the sea. December 13, 1864, Fort McAllister was taken

by storm, in which the Seventieth suffered severely. It was the first regiment to enter the work, through the abattis and ditch, without a halt. In the subsequent march through the Carolinas, it met with loss at Benton- ville. Passing through Richmond on to Washington, it had a part in the grand review, after which it was sent to Louisville, Kentucky, thence to Little Rock, Arkansas, where it was mustered out August 14, 1865. It is to be noted as a remarkable fact that every officer, who from first to last had a command in the regiment, was a mem- ber of it in its original organization before it left its own State.

SEVENTY-FIRST OHIO INFANTRY.
This completed its organization about the first of Feb- ruary, r862. It received marching orders the tenth of the same month, and reported at once to General Sher- man at Paducah, with his command. It was among the first troops at Pittsburgh Landing. In this battle it lost one hundred and thirty men, killed and wounded. On the sixteenth of April the regiment was ordered to the Cumberland river, to hold the posts of Fort Donelson and Clarksville. On the eighteenth of August Clarksville was attacked by the combined forces of Colonels Wood- ward and A. R. Johnson. Colonel Mason, having less than two hundred effective men, a surrender was de- manded, and, after obtaining the advice of his counsel, he acceded to the proposition. A few days after the colonel and all the line officers were dismissed in disgrace, but, the facts becoming better known, they received an honorable discharge. After the regiment was exchanged it did valuable service the remainder of the year. In 1864 it took an effective part in the battle of Nashville, losing fully one-third of its men in killed and wounded. Through the summer of 1865 it was in Texas. It was finally mustered out in January, 1865.

HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO.
SEVENTY-SECOND OHIO INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized at Fremont late in the year 1861. In February, 1862, it was ordered to report to General Sherman at Paducah, and was assigned to Colonel Buckland's brigade. On the third of April it exchanged its first shots with the rebel pickets at Pitts- burgh Landing. The regiment was to the front all through the battle that followed and participated in the final charge and pursuit as far as Monterey. Its loss in killed, wounded, and missing, was one hundred and thirty-three. In the siege of Corinth the Seventy-second bore a conspicuous part. Its losses were triffling in action, but terrible by disease. On the twenty-first of July Memphis was entered. After being at Fort Picker- ing and Moscow, marching by way of Bolivar and Purdy to Corinth, at White's Station, and again in Memphis, the regiment commenced the march for the rear of Vicksburgh the second of May, 1863. On the way it was in the battle of Jackson, on the fourteenth of that month. On the twenty-second of June it aided in inter- cepting General Johnston, who was attempting the relief of Vicksburgh. In September the Seventy-second was in a four days' scout to Mechanicsville, in which it ex- perienced some severe marching and lively skirmishing. On the second of January, 1864, the regiment re enlisted, and in February was in General Sherman's Meridian ex- pedition. After the veteran furlough it was ordered to Paducah, to assist in the defence of that place against Forrest. June Ist the regiment formed part of an ex- pedition, consisting of twelve regiments of infantry and a division of cavalry, against Forrest. The tenth of June, at Brice's Cross Roads, an encounter with the rebels resulted most disastrously, eleven officers and two hundred and thirty-seven men being killed, wounded, or captured. Then followed an expedition in the direction of Tupelo, Mississippi, during which the regiment suf- fered not a little. Between the twenty-seventh of July and the sixteenth of November, by long marches, half rations, great heat and extreme cold, the men suffered intensely. On the thirtieth of November it joined forces under General Thomas, at Nashville. In February, 1865, it moved to New Orleans and camped on the old battle-ground. Afterward it was in the attacks at Span- ish Fort and Fort Blakely; then Montgomery, Alabama, was reached; and in June it was placed along the railroad line west of Meridian. The last man was mustered out at Vicksburgh on the eleventh of September, 1865. The regiment at once embarked for Ohio, and at Camp Chase was paid and discharged.

SEVENTY-FOURTH OHIO INFANTRY.
This regiment with an aggregate of nine hundred and seventy-eight men, was ordered to the field the twentieth of April, 1862. Its first real service was on the march over the Cumberland mountains in June. During the blockade of Nashville, it was in several skirmishes in the vicinity of that city. The Seventy-fourth was with Gen- eral Rosecrans when he made his movement on Bragg's army at Murfreesborough. It went into the battle of Stone River December 29th, and remained until night- fall of January 3d, losing in all one hundred and fifty- five men. At Murfreesborough there was a general reorganization of the army, and consequently some changes occurred in this command. After this date, February, 1863, the Seventy-fourth was in the battles of Hoover's Gap, Dog Gap, Chickamauga, Lookout Moun- tain, and Mission Ridge. The last of January, 1864, a majority of the men re-enlisted and started for Ohio on the thirty days' furlough. On the seventh of the follow- ing May, it started with the army on the Atlanta cam- paign. With Sherman it passed through Georgia and reached Savannah, and on the twentieth of January was off again for the Carolina campaign. After the destruc- tion of rebel supplies at Fayetteville, the rebel capital was the point to be reached, and then Washington. Bentonville, the last battle of the command, was fought March 22, 1865. On the eighteenth of July, at Camp Dennison, the men were paid and discharged.
