June 25, 1861, the regiment left Camp Denni- son for Western Virginia, arriving at Grafton on the twenty-third, moving through Clarksburgh and Buchannan, it arrived at Rich Mountain on the ninth of July, but did not participate actively in that engagement, being held as a support for the- skirmishers.


On the twelfth of July the regiment joined in the pursuit of the enemy, going to Beverly, Virgin- ia, where it went into camp and rested for a day. On the thirteenth six companies of the regiment under Colonel Andrews moved with the main col- umn of General McClelland's forces to Huttons-

ville. The other four companies under Lieuten- ant Colonel Cantwell, remained at Beverly in charge of six hundred rebel prisoners until they were paroled. On the fourteenth the six compa- nies moved to the summit of Cheat mountain, but on the sixteenth returned to Beverly, where they remained until the twenty-third, when they took the cars for New Creek, arriving there July 28th On the seventh of August they marched to Pen- dleton, Maryland.


The first skirmish with the rebels in which either of the Mt. Vernon companies was engaged, was at Petersburgh, Virginia, September 7, 1861. News having reached their camp at Pendleton, that a force of the enemy was at Petersburgh, com- panies A, F, and K, were detached under Major Godman with orders to attack the rebels. The detachment left camp about one o'clock at night, and when about three miles out, had a skirmish with a rebel outpost. At Petersburgh they met a very superior force of the enemy, and Major God- man fell back until re-enforced, when he again ad- vanced and drove the enemy from the place, cap- turing a large quantity of provisions, animals, and some prisoners. One man, only, was wounded in this affair. Their next skirmish was at Romney, Virginia, September 24, 1861. Lieutenant Col- onel Cantwell with six companies of the regiment, including companies A and B, one piece of artil- lery, seventy-five of Ringold's cavalry and about four hundred of the Eighth Ohio under Colonel Parke, moved against this place, driving the enemy from a strong position at Mechanicsburgh Gap, and advancing on Romney drove the enemy before him with a loss of thirty-two men wounded.


Colonel Andrews having died at his home in Gambier, Captain John S. Mason, of the United States regulars, was appointed colonel of the regi- ment, and took command October fourteenth. This appointment was not, at first, satisfactory to .the regiment, but Colonel Mason proved himself · a brave and able officer, and soon became a very acceptable commander. He remained with the regiment until after the battle at Fredericksburgh, when his health failing, he was compelled to with- draw from active service.


October 25th the Fourth Ohio marched to New Creek, Virginia, where it joined General Kelly's


command, and on the next day moved to Romney. The rebels were again driven from that place and all their baggage, two pieces of artillery and a number of prisoners captured. After this affair Lieutenant Colonel Cantwell was promoted to colonel and transferred to the Eighty-second regiment, and was killed while gallantly leading his men in one of the battles on the Rappahannock, August 29, 1862.


Romney was occupied until January 7, 1862, when the regiment under Colonel Mason moved on the rebels at Blue's Gap, sixteen miles from Romney, surprised and drove them from a fortified position, capturing all their camp equippage and two pieces of artillery.


Romney was evacuated January 10th, and the reg- iment transferred to Patterson's creek, on the north branch of the Potomac; and thence, February 9th, to Pawpaw tunnel on the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road. March Ist the regiment moved toward Win- chester under Brigadier General Lander, but, hear- ing of his death the next day, it returned to Pawpaw tunnel, remaining there until March 7th. On that day it took the cars for Martinsburgh, and arrived there on the ninth. On the eleventh it moved to- ward Winchester, to find on its arrival that the en- emy had vacated it the day previous.


Making Winchester its base, detachments of the regiment were sent out in different directions until the night of March 23d, when it was reassembled at Winchester, and on the twenty-fourth started in pursuit of Stonewall Jackson, who had been de- feated at Kernstown on the day previous. The enemy was pursued as far as Strasburgh, where the regiment remained until the night of March 30th, when it moved to Edenburgh, in the valley. April 17th the regiment again moved to New Market, skirmishing by the way. On the twenty-seventh it moved to Moore's farm, five miles from Harrison- burgh, where it remained in Camp until May 9th, when it again returned to New Market.


On the twelfth of May the regiment marched via Luray, Front Royal, Chester Gap, Warrenton, and Catlett's Station, for Fredricksburgh, Virginia, to join McDowell's corps, arriving there May 22d. The next day the regiment was ordered back to the valley via Manassas Junction. It reached Front Royal on the thirtieth, drove the enemy from that

place, and captured a large quantity of amunition, supplies, and a number of prisoners. On the third of June it moved toward Luray, reaching that place on the seventh. From this point a forced march was made by the brigade for Port Republic, reaching there in time to cover the retreat of the National forces.


It was during this month that Captain Banning was made colonel of the eighty-seventh. His old company (B) passed appropriate resolutions, and presented him with a saddle and bridle and a pair of revolvers.


After marching and counter-marching around Luray and Front Royal until the twenty-ninth of June, the regiment went by rail to Alexandria, from whence it embarked for the Peninsula, arriving at Harrison's Landing on the first of July. It remain- ed at this place until August 15th, and was the last regiment to leave Harrison's Landing on its evacua- tion by the army of the Potomac.


It marched via Charles City Court House, Wil- liamsburgh, and Yorktown to Newport News, and on the twenty-fourth of August embarked for Aquia Creek and Alexandria, reaching the latter place August 27th. On the twenty-ninth the regiment marched to Centerville, and on the first of Septem- ber returned to Fairfax Court House. On the sec- ond it marched to Fort Gaines, District Columbia, and from thence to Harper's Ferry via the Balti- more & Ohio railroad. On the first of October the regiment marched to Leesburgh via Waterford, returning to Harper's Ferry on the second. On the fourth it marched to Halltown, coming back to Harper's Ferry on the sixth. October 30th the regiment broke camp and crossed the Shenandoah. November Ist it marched to Gregory's gap, thence through Smucker's and Ashby's gaps to Rectortown and Richmond; thence to Salem, Warrenton, and Fremont, Virginia, where it remained in camp until the twelfth of September, at which time, under command of Colonel Mason, it crossed the Rapi- dan into Fredericksburgh, and was thrown to the front as skirmishers, holding that position until the next day, December 13th, when the desperate charge was made through the streets of Fredericks- burgh. It received the first fire of the rebel artil- lery on the right of the National line. This was a desperate and bloody battle for the Fourth Ohio,


and its losses were very severe; five officers and forty-three enlisted men, out of one hundred and fifteen engaged, were either killed or wounded. The regiment re-crossed the river in the night, with the retreat of the National forces, and occupied its old camp at Falmouth.


The regiment continued in camp at Falmouth until April 28th, when it participated in Hooker's remarkable movement on Chancellorsville. On the third of May the regiment engaged the enemy, and captured one stand of colors and over one hundred prisoners, among whom were nine comamis- sioned officers. It lost in killed and wounded sev- enty-eight out of three hundred and fifty-two en- gaged. On the sixth of May the regiment moved back to their old camp at Falmouth.


In this severe battle (Chancellorsville) the losses in company A were Charles A. Runyan, killed; Bernard Griffis, Auston Lawton, Byron Ward, Francis O. Jacobs and Robert Kimball, wounded. In company B Thomas Shaffer, killed; Gilbert M. Parks, George Wilcox, Plinney Ball, Valentine Glasscock, George H. Sargents, Archibald Scott, George Michaels, O. L. Stoughton and F. G. Beach, wounded.


June 14th the line of march was resumed to- ward Pennsylvania, in consequence of the rebel army under Lee having invaded that State. Gainesville, Virginia, was reached on the twentieth, when a halt was made until the twenty-fifth. The next day the Potomac was crossed at Edward's Ferry, and, passing through Frederick, Uniontown was reached on the twentieth, and Gettysburgh, Pennsyl- vania, on the first of July, where the regiment took part in that great battle. It was one of the three regiments that drove the rebels from Cemetery Hill, after they had driven part of the Eleventh corps from the field, and had gained possession of two of our batteries. Generals Hancock, Howard and Gibbon, and other prominent generals wit- nessed this charge and gave it their highest com- mendation. The Fourth Ohio lost in this engage- ment three commissioned officers and thirty-four enlisted men killed and wounded.


After the battle the regiment with its brigade and division marched in pursuit of the flying reb- els, passing through Frederick City; and thence through Crampton's gap of the South mountain,


295

crossing the Potomac at Harper's Ferry, July 18th, marching through Smucker's gap, Woodbury, Bloomfield, and Upperville, to Markham and Man- assas gap; thence to Salem and White Plains, Warrenton Junction, Elk Run, Kelley's ford on the Rappahannock, returning to Elk Run on the first of August. Here it remained until the six- teenth of August, when it moved to Bealton Sta- tion, and took the cars for Alexandria, Vir- ginia. On the twentieth of August the regiment embarked for New York, arriving in that city on the twenty-third. The riotous spirit prevailing in that city having subsided, the troops were removed, and on the twenty-sixth of August the Fourth moved to Jamaica, Long Island, near the city, in order that they might be on hand in case of fur- ther outbreak.


September 6th the regiment took passage at New York for Alexandria, Virginia, arriving there on the eleventh. Again a series of marches com- menced, embracing Fairfax Court House, Bristoe Station, Bealton, Brandy Station, Cedar Mountain and Robinson's run, arriving at the latter place on the seventeenth of September, and remaining until October 6th. It then moved to Culpeper Court House; thence to Bealton Station; thence to Au- burn; thence to Bristoe Station, where it had a skirmish with the enemy. After this came an- other series of marches in a circle until, on the twenty-sixth of September, the regiment crossed the Rapidan at Germania ford, and on the twenty-seventh, at Robinson's Cross Roads, it had a brisk skirmish with the enemy, with a loss of twen- ty-eight men killed and wounded. On the first of December the regiment went into winter quarters near Stevensburgh, Virginia.


February 6th, the regiment moved to Morton's ford on the Rapidan, crossed the river, had a skir- mish with the enemy, and lost seventeen men wounded; re-crossed the river on the seventh, and returned to camp near Stevensburgh, Virginia, where it remained until the latter part of August, when it removed with the forces of General Grant, participating in the skirmishes and engagements of that arduous campaign, until in the early part of September, the term of enlistment of the main part of the regiment having expired, it was mustered out of the service as a regiment. Those who had


re-enlisted as veterans were retained and organized into a battalion, called the Fourth Ohio battalion. This remainder of the Fourth was placed on duty in and around Washington city, and continued in that locality until the final muster out during the closing scenes of the war.


The Fourth marched one thousand nine hun- dred and seventy-five miles, and travelled by rail- road and transport two thousand two hundred and neventy-nine miles, making an aggregate of four thousand two hundred and fifty-four miles travelled. Throughout its career it maintained its efficiency, discipline and good conduct on every battle-field.


A Columbus paper of June 14, 1864, says :


This old and gallant regiment (the Fourth Ohio), or rather what is left of it, arrived in this city Saturday night under com- mand of Colonel L. W. Carpenter. It has done good and noble service for the country. In the battles in which this regi- ment was engaged prior to General Grant taking command of the army, it had dwindled down to four hundred men. In the last battles they were in (Grant's campaign in '64) they went in with three hundred men, and came out with just ninety-one, and part of these wounded.


The few battle-scarred veterans that entered Mt. Vernon in June, 1864-the remnant of the two full companies of bright, vigorous, noble young men that marched away from here more than three years before-were tendered a reception by the ladies of Mt. Vernon. At the banquet which fol- lowed, speeches were made by Hon. Columbus Delano and other citizens; but no words can ade- quately portray the sadness caused by the thought that these were the last of that noble band. The remainder of the Fourth Ohio (Fourth Ohio battal- ion) was mustered out in January, 1866.


Upon the return of the first remnant of the regi- ment in June, 1864, the battle flag of the Fourth Ohio was turned over to Governor Brough by Cap- tain George F. Laird. The following inscriptions were placed upon it :


Romney, Blue's Gap, Front Royal, Harrison's Landing, Fred- ericksburgh, Chancellorsville, Gettysburgh, Bristoe, Mine Run, Norton's Ford, The Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Po River, North Anna River, Prospect Hill, and Cold Harbor.

THE Twentieth Ohio volunteer infantry was or- T ganized in the spring of 1861, and entered the three months' service, but as Knox county was not represented in this regiment at that time, it is not within the province of this chapter to speak of that service.


Upon the reorganization of the regiment for the three years' service, during the first days of Oc- tober, 1861, more than three companies from this county were attached to it. Companies A, E, and G, were nearly all from this county; also a part of company I, and a few others from the county were scattered through other companies of the regiment.


Company A was recruited partly in Chesterville and vicinity, and partly in Fredericktown and vicinity, by Dr. Elisha Hiatt of the former place, who became captain, and William Rogers and L. N. Ayres, of Fredericktown, who became first and second lieutenants, respectively. The company numbered one hundred and thirteen men. The surplus was subsequently attached to company I.


About the same time (August, 1861), George Rogers, of Mount Vernon, and John N. Cassell, of Fredericktown, began recruiting, and soon had about one hundred men each. Captain Cassel was very materially assisted in recruiting his company by Nathan Bostwick, who subsequently became sec- ond lieutenant of the company.


Dr. Hiatt's company was presented with a beau- tiful silk flag by the ladies of Fredericktown, upon its departure from that place. These two compa- nies rendezvoused at Camp Chase late in Septem- ber, 1861, and soon after were sent to Camp King, near Covington, Kentucky, where, on the twenty- first of October, the regiment was organized.


This regiment was fortunate in having some of the very best officers in the service, and it became, in consequence, one of the most efficient. Charles Whittlesey, its colonel, was a West Point graduate, an eminent engineer, geologist, and student. Its lieutenant colonel, Manning F. Force, was a lawyer of Cincinnati, a gentleman, a scholar, a soldier, and subsequently became brigadier general.


Following is a roster of the officers from Knox county in this regiment, and the muster rolls of companies A, E, and G, with the date of muster into service :
