them by their friends at home were frequent, and generous in quantity and variety.
On the 5th of January, 1862, the regiment moved to Camp Chase, where it remained until February 7, when it moved to Fort Donelson, Tenn., arriv- ing on the 14th. The regiment was assigned to General Charles F. Smith's division and occupied a very important position on the left of the lines during the two days' operations. After the surrender the regiment encamped near Dover until the 15th of March, when it moved to Metal Landing, on the Ten- nessee, and from there to Crump's Landing, and from there to Pittsburgh Land- ing. Up to this time the health of the men had been comparatively good ; but now bad water, bad weather and bad rations operated very seriously upon the boys, fresh from the comforts of home life, and the strength of the regi- ment was reduced by sickness from one thousand to less than three hundred men fit for duty. The regiment was assigned to General Lew Wallace's division, and during the battle of Pittsburgh Landing was engaged in guarding ordnance and supply trains. Lieutenant-Colonel Scott and Captain Richards went as volunteer aids to General Thayer, and were mentioned in his official report for gallant and efficient service. During the operations around Corinth the regiment was constantly on duty in building roads, bridges and entrench- ments. After the evacuation the Sixty-eighth with the Twenty-third Indiana, was stationed at Bolivar, Tenn., where they rebuilt the bridge across the Hatchie, and formed the guards along the railroad for a number of miles.
The first regular engagement participated in by the regiment was the bat- tle of Metamora (or the Little Hatchie), and for gallantry in which the regiment was complimented in general orders. The regiment also participated in the battle of Iuka. It closed the campaign of 1862 by forming the advance of an expedition which attempted to get into the rear of Vicksburg by the way of Holly Springs and Granada, Miss. The design was frustrated by the surren- der of Holly Springs, and the regiment returned to Memphis. During the campaign in Mississippi the regiment was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, Seventeenth Army Corps, where it remained until the close of the war.
In the spring of 1863 the regiment moved with its command to Lake Providence, La., on the Mississippi River, where it worked on the Lake Provi- dence canal in the fruitless attempt to clear a passage for the river boats through Bayou Tensas. It engaged in similar work in the vicinity of Walnut Bayou in the vicinity of Eagle Bend. About the 10th of April, 1863, the regiment moved down to Milliken's Bend, where it was engaged in working on the military road toward Richmond, La. While here Lieutenant John C. Banks, of Company C, and privates John Snyder of Company A, Joseph Longbury and William Barnhart, of Company C, volunteered to take one of the transports, a common river steamer, past the Vicksburg batteries. They

succeeded in this undertaking on the night of April 21. 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 innumer- able 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 Bruinsburg, where it crossed the river, and by a forced march was able to participate in the battle of Thompson's Hill, May 1, 1863. The regiment pursued the retreating rebels and was engaged in the battles of Ray- mond, May 21 ; Jackson, May 14 ; Champion Hills, May 16, and Big Black. The regiment lost heavily in all these engagements, especially at Champion Hills, where Lieutenant-Colonel John S. Snook was killed.
The regiment engaged in an attack on the rebel works in the rear of Vicks- burg on May 18, and in the assault on Fort Hill on the 22d. During the early part of the siege the regiment was constantly in the trenches, and it also furn- ished large details of sharp-shooters ; but during the latter part of the siege it was placed in the army of observation, near Big Black. It was on the recon- noissance toward Yazoo city, in the latter part of June, and participated in the engagement at Jackson on the 12th of July. After the battle it guarded about six hundred prisoners into Vicksburg. The regiment was quartered comfortably in the suburbs at 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 October 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 partici- pated in the fight at Clinton and Jackson, Miss, while 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 regi- ments in the Seventeenth Corps to report three-fourths of its men re-enlisted, it having done so on the 15th of December, 1863. Upon its return from the Meridian raid the men were supplied with clothing, and the regiment em- barked for the North, leaving one hundred and seventy recruits at Vicksburg, who arrived just as the regiment was moving down to the landing. The regi- ment 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 the 26th Through Illinois and Indiana the regiment was welcomed everywhere with banners and flags. It was royally entertained at the Soldiers' Home in Indianapolis on the morning of the 24th, and was feasted bountifully by the citizens of Muncie, Ind., on the evening of the same day. The regiment was detained ten days at Cleveland before a paymaster could be obtained, and soon after payment the regiment started for Toledo, where it arrived at three o'clock P. M., on the 6th of April. It was met by a delegation 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 entering the State. Special trains were made up on the differ- ent roads, and by night all the men were at home.
On the 7th of May the regiment again took the cars at Cleveland, and pro- ceeded to Cario by way of Cincinnati. At Cairo it was joined by the recruits left at Vicksburg, and these, with those obtained during furlough, numbered over three hundred. Here, too, the regiment turned over its old arms and drew new Springfield muskets. On the 12th of May the regiment, with more than seven hundred men for duty, embarked for Clifton, Tenn., and thence it marched by way of Huntsville, Decatur and Rome, to Acworth, 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 Kenesaw Mountain, Big Shanty, Nicojack, Atlanta, July 22d and 28th, Jonesborough 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 cavalry, a corps of rebel in- fantry ; while, at the same time, another line of rebel troops was forming across the road in its rear. Thus the Sixty-eighth was sandwiched 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 distinctly heard, 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 dropping behind a fence, poured a volley into the rebels, who were in the open field. The batteries of Fuller'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 regi- ment was enabled by a rapid movement by the flank, and a wide detour, to pass around the enemy's right, and to rejoin 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, September 2-6, 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 Ist of No- vember, and moved by way of Cave Springs and Lost Mountain to Smyrna camp-meeting ground, where the men were supplied with clothing, and every- thing 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 engagement with the Georgia militia at the crossing of the Oconee, and the destruction of the railroad build- ings at Millen, the regiment experienced no variation from the easy marches and pleasant bivouacs, which all enjoyed. On the 10th of December the regi- ment 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 throwing up a heavy line of works, and furnished two companies daily as sharp-shooters. During the op- erations around Savannah the regiment subsisted almost entirely upon rice, which was found in large quantities near 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 Warren and Oglethorp parks. Here, too, the regiment lost some valuable men, who were mustered out by reason of expiration of term of service. A large number of commissions were received, and the regiment was supplied with a fine corp's of young and enthusiastic officers.
On the 5th of January, 1865, the regiment embarked at Thunderbolt Bay for Beaufort, 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 rest- ing about two weeks the troops moved on the campaign of the Carolinas. The regiment marched by way of Orangeburg, Columbia, Winnsboro and Cheraw, destroying property, both public and private ; but upon entering the State of North Carolina this destruction of property was forbidden by orders from superior headquarters. The march was continued through Fayetteville to Goldsboro; where the regiment arrived ragged, bare-footed, and bare- headed, and blackened and begrimed with the smoke of pine knots. On the morning after its arrival the adjutant's report showed forty-two men bare- footed, thirty-six bare-headed, and two hundred and sixty wearing some article of citizen's clothes. The regiment rested ten days and then moved out to Raleigh.

After the surrender of Johnson the regiment marched by way of Dinwid- die C. H., Petersburg, Richmond, Fredericksburg and Alexandria to Wash- ington city, where it participated in the grand review on the 26th of May. After the review the Sixty-eighth camped at Tenallytown for a week, when it was ordered to Louisville, 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 payment 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 term 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, and of these ninety per cent. were native Americans, the others being Germans, Irish, or English, the Germans predominating. Colonel R. K. Scott commanded the regiment in all its engagements except Metamora, when Lieutenant-Colonel J. S. Snook commanded until after the Vicksburg campaign, when the com- mand devolved upon Lientenant-Colonel George E. Wells, and he continued to hold the command in all subsequent engagements, skirmishes and marches until the close of the war. The regiment was presented with a beautiful ban- ner 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 Colonel Wells, on behalf of the regiment, to the citizens of Henry county. 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 in- scribed the names of the following battles: Fort Donelson, Pittsburgh Land- ing, Siege of Corinth, Iuka, Metamora, Thompson's Hill, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, Big Black, Vicksburg, May 22, and siege; Jackson, July 12; Monroe Raid, Bogue Chitta, Meridian Raid, Kenesaw, June 27, and siege ; Nicojack, Atlanta, July 21, 22 and 28, and siege; Jonesboro, Lovejoy, Oc- onee, Savannah, Pocotaligo, Salkehatchie, Orangeburg, Columbia, Cheraw, Bentonville and Raleigh.
This regiment was organized in the State of Ohio at large, in October, November and December, 1861, to serve three years. On the expiration of its term of service the original members (except veterans) were mustered out, and the organization, composed of veterans and recruits, retained in service until July 10, 1865, when it was mustered out in accordance with orders from the war department.
