THE THIRTY-EIGHTH REGIMGNT.
The second regiment raised for the three years service to which Henry county contributed was the Thirty-eighth O. V. Infantry, raised during the summer and fall of the year 1861, in answer to the call of President Lincoln for three hundred thousand men for three years. Company B of this regi- ment was recruited in this county, and there may have been other men in other companies, but they were scattering and went in singly and not as a regular organization as did Company B. The regiment was organized at Defiance, on the Ist of September. On the 22d of the same month it was transferred to Camp Dennison, where the men received their arms and field equipments, and were drilled preparatory to active service, after which they were ordered to proceed to Kentucky, where they arrived October I. On the next day the regiment passed through and encamped near Nicholasville. About two weeks later it was ordered to the relief of the garrison at Wild Cat, Ky., and after a forced march of some sixty miles reached its destination on the 19th of Octo- ber. Afterward it pursued the enemy to Loudon and Barboursville ; marched on all of the subsequent campaigns during the fall, and went into winter quar- ters about Christmas time near Somerset. During the winter months the men suffered severely, not being accustomed to the climate and the rough usages of camp life, so that in a short time less than three hundred in the entire reg- iment were fit for duty. The regiment participated in the campaign of Mill Springs, and marched to Louisville, arriving there on February 28, 1862.
Early in March the regiment proceeded to Nashville where preparations were made for the spring campaign ; thence it proceeded with the army of the Ohio through Middle Tennessee, and encamped during the month of April on the battle-field of Pittsburg Landing, and then again marched under General Hallet toward Corinth, Miss., and took an active part in the siege of that place
After the evacuation of Corinth, May 27, 1862, the Thirty-eighth marched with the army in pursuit of Beauregard as far as Boonville, and on returning encamped near Corinth until the 20th of June, when it marched with the army
88
HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES.
to Tuscumbia, Ala., arriving there on the 28th. On the 28th the regiment proceeded to Winchester, Tenn., where it arrived on the 7th of August. From this point several reconnoitering parties were sent out, and among them none were more actively engaged than the Thirty-eighth. A party of eighty men from this regiment made a forced march upon Tracy Creek, which was cap- tured and a large quantity of stores destroyed. For this event those engaged made the march and return, a total distance of seventy-two miles, in less than twenty-four hours.
The regiment participated in the battle with the enemy at Chaplain Hill, and afterward in the campaign in Kentucky, and went into camp late in Octo- ber, on Rolling Fork, near Lebanon. From here it soon proceeded toward Nashville, Tenn. During the months of November and December it was guarding railroads between Gallatin and Nashville, but in the latter part of the year it marched to Nashville and took a prominent part in the battle at Stone River, and fortunately met with but slight loss. After the battle the Thirty- eighth went into winter quarters near the city and remained until March 13, 1863, when it joined with the forces at Triune.
Commencing in June, the year 1863 witnessed for the regiment these events : Marched with the Army of the Cumberland and took part in the Tul- lahoma campaign; began the march to Chattanooga August 17 ; moved with the center corps, crossed the Cumberland mountains to the Tennessee River, which was crossed on log rafts on the night of September 2, and proceeded over Lookout and Raccoon Mountains and arrived in the Lookout Valley about the middle of September ; acted as guard for an immense wagon train to Chattanooga, by special order of General Thomas, and thus escaped the battle of Chickamauga, but successfully accomplished the task assigned it. On the 25th of November the division to which the regiment was attached as- saulted the enemy's works at the foot of Mission Ridge and carried them, driv- ing Bragg's forces. In this brief engagement the Thirty-eighth was on the extreme left, and was subjected to a terrible fire from the rebel infantry. In this charge the regiment lost seven killed, and forty-one wounded.
After pursuing the enemy as far as Ringgold the Thirty-eighth returned to camp near Chattanooga, where on the 26th of December the men re-enlisted as a veteran organization, and was furloughed home. At the expiration of the furlough the regiment joined the army then at Ringgold, Ga. Recruits were sent forward and when Sherman started on the memorable Atlanta canı- paign the regiment numbered seven hundred and forty-one men.
On May 5, 1864, the regiment broke camp and marched to Buzzard's Roost Gap, where it was brought into action. After skirmishing about for a few days, in which the Thirty-eighth took an active part, several men were killed and wounded. The regiment then participated in the campaign that followed; in the siege of Kenesaw and elsewhere, fortifying and skirmishing, and brought up

July 5, 1864, on the Chattahoochie River. On the 17th they advanced, crossed the river, and on the 22d had the honor of establishing the picket line of the Fourteenth Corps in front of Atlanta. On the 3d of August it moved to Utoy Creek, where two days later Companies A, C and K of the regiment charged the enemy's line successfully.
By a series of movements the army arrived at Jonesboro, Ga., early in September, coming upon Hardee's pickets at four o'clock P. M. of the Ist. Este's brigade at once charged the works. The regiment lost here, in killed and wounded, one hundred and fifty men, nearly one-half its entire strength.
Following the Jonesboro campaign came the campaign of Georgia. The army broke camp on October 3, 1864, and retraced its lines as far north as Dalton, Hood in the mean time having reached the rear of Sherman's army. The Thirty-eighth accompanied the expedition thus far, and moved thence via Gaylesville, Ala., to Rome, and reached Kingston, Ga., November 5. Ar- riving at Milledgeville on the 24th of November, the regiment was assigned to provost duty in the city. It was soon sent to destroy the bridge across the Big Ogeechee, which was done, the regiment marching on that day a distance of forty-four miles before reaching Louisville, to which place the army had gone. From Louisville the army went to Savannah, arriving there on the 2 Ist of December, where the regiment went into camp. During their stay here the regiment received two hundred drafted men and substitutes.
On the 30th of January, 1865, the Thirty-eighth left Savannah with the army, and participated in the "Campaign of the Carolinas," and after forty days came to Goldsboro, N. C. From there it went to Holly Springs, where it remained until after the surrender of Johnston's army. From Holly Springs the regiment marched to Raleigh, thence to Richmond, and finally to Alexan- dria, Va., where it remained until after the grand review at the capital, when it encamped near Washington. It remained there until June 15, and then pro- ceeded to Louisville, Ky., where it arrived on the 23d. On the 12th of July the muster out was completed, and the regiment proceeded to Cleveland, where it was finally discharged on the 22d day of July, 1865.
