assas Gap, and, on the afternoon of July 23d, marched in line of battle, as Ewell fell back from Wapping Heights. The next day it returned, passing through the Gap, and through Warren- ton. and camped near the Rappahannock, about the first of August. It guarded the road leading up the south bank of the Rapidan until noon, when it marched to the front in the battle of the Wilderness. The regiment maintained itself well throughout the fight. Their loss the first day was one hundred and twenty men. This regiment would have been recognized as Ohio troops, by any rebel commander, from their characteris- tic energy and determination, in whatever posi- tion.
FIFTH INDEPENDENT BATTALION OF CAVALRY. -No record was found concerning these troops in the 'Adjutant General's office, at Columbus, or Washington, and yet, "Ohio In the War," p. 931. recites : "After the capture of Morgan, and his band (of guerillas), Captain Ijams was ordered to report at Camp Chase, and proceed to recruit his organization to a force of four companies, which, being accomplished in a few weeks, was classed as the Fifth Independent Battalion of Ohio Vol- unteer Cavalry, and Captain Ijams was promoted to Major.
For the record of Company D, of this battalion, we are indebted to Howard Aston, our County Clerk, who was First Corporal of this company, and subsequently First Lieutenant of Company F, Thirteenth O. V. C. "This (Fifth Battalion ) was a six-months' organization, recruited by Second Lieutenant Thomas E. Roberts, of Falls township. After the organization, in July, 1863, at Camp Tod, near Columbus, Ohio, it was sent to Mays- ville, Kentucky, and thence to Flemingsburg, Kentucky, where the battalion was separated- Companies A and D remaining in camp, and Companies B and C going to Hillsboro, Ken- tucky, whence scouting parties were sent out. penetrating the mountains between Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia, and were usually victorious. The battalion headquarters remained at Flemingsburg during their term of enlist- ment." [Although the Fifth Independent Bat- talion did not participate in any regular battle. it was only because there was no organized force pitted against it. Owing to the exigencies of the service, it was kept in the field some time beyond its term of enlistment, and was finally mustered out of the service, at Columbus. in March, 1864. -Ohio In the War, p. 931.1
THIRTEENTH O. V. C .- When the order was issued from Washington, D. C., to recruit veter- ans, Second Lieutenant, Thomas E. Roberts, opened a recruiting office at the headquarters of the Fifth Independent Battalion. O. V. C. The first recruit was Howard Aston, then Jesse Wat- ers. December 27th, 1863, followed by thirty-one others. These formed the nucleus of Company F. of the Thirteenth, which was formed by the consolidation of the Fourth and Fifth Independ- ent Battalions. It was increased by recruits, and mustered into the service, May 4th, 1864, for three years, and immediately joined the Ninth Army

Corps, composing a part of the Army of the Po- tomac, and participated in all the battles of that army, from Hanover Court House to Stony Creek. inclusive, until December Ist. 1864, when it was sent to "Dismounted Camp." near City Point, Virginia. This change was appreciated by the regiment, as for five months and a half they had been exposed to shot and shell, and the quiet of a camp beyond these was a relief. December 20th, they exchanged their infantry accoutre- ments for cavalry equipments, and, until the first of January, 1865. remained in camp, drilling and doing light picket duty, in the rear of the army lines, on the lookout for Wade Hampton's caval- ry. Then they were assigned to the Third Brig- ade, Second Division, and were commanded by General Gregg, until after the three days' battle of Hatcher's Run, February 5th, 6th, and 7th, 1865. General Gregg being wounded, General George Crook took command of the division, and the Thirteenth remained under his command un- til mustered out.
April 6th, 1865, at the battle of Sailor Creek, they charged on a heavy guard of rebel infantry, having charge of a train of wagons, destroyed about forty wagons, captured two hundred and eighty prisoners, one hundred and forty mules, and about twenty-five horses, sustaining the loss of Captain Strahl and fifteen men, who were tak- en prisoners. On its return from the charge, it took part, with other regiments of the Third Brig- ade. in a mounted charge, in which were captur- ed General M. D. Corse and his brigade of rebel troops.
On the 7th of April, the Thirteenth was fight- ing Lee's rear guard, pushing them back during the whole forenoon. About noon, they made a dash into Farmville, Virginia, and captured three hundred prisoners. In the afternoon, the regi- ment pushed across to Prospect Station, on the Virginia and East Tennessee Railroad, and, in connection with the Sixth O. V. C., captured a train of railroad cars, loaded with forage and pro- visions for Lee's army. April 8th, in the evening, the Thirteenth was on picket. to the left of Appo- mattox Court House. All was quiet during the. night, but about daylight the next morning, Lee's forces made a charge on our lines, attempting to break through. The regiment fought hard for two hours, but had to retire, which they did, fight- ing as they went, until they reached a wood. where they checked the rebel advance. Then General Sheridan ordered a grand charge by the division, led by Generals Crook, Merrit, and Cus- ter, in which the Thirteenth had the honor to lead. This was a fearful contest, but victorious. After the surrender of General R. E. Lee and his army, to General U. S. Grant, the Thirteenth O. V. C. was sent with their division to join Gen- eral Sherman, in North Carolina, but before reach- ing him, the news came of the surrender of John- ston's army, and the regiment was ordered back to Petersburg, Virginia, and, after a review by General Sheridan, the division separated, and the Thirteenth was sent to Amelia Court House, for provost duty. Its headquarters remained there,
though the regiment divided-some companies doing duty in adjoining counties. The loss of the Thirteenth, from June 2d, 1864, until April 9th, 1865, (the last battle ), was sixty-eight killed, three hundred and eighty-three wounded, and ninety-one captured.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-NINTH O. V. I. (Otherwise denominated National Guards. ) -- The Eleventh Ohio and one company of the Seventy-third O.N.G. formed the One Hundred and Fifty-ninth O. V. I. The consolidation and organization were completed on the morning of the 11th of May, 1864, and it immediately left for Harper's Ferry, where it was ordered to re- port to General Lew Wallace, who assigned it to Brigadier General Kelley's command, camped near Camp Bradford, in the northern defences of Baltimore. Four companies were detailed on guard duty at Camp Bradford, and remained there one hundred days, their term of service. One company did provost guard duty in the city, another was detailed at Patterson Park Hospital, and the remaining companies were detailed to guard the bridges on the Philadelphia, Wilming- ton and Baltimore Railroad. During the rebel invasion, one hundred men of the regiment were mounted, and, at Monocacy, they conducted themselves so gallantly that they won the official compliments of the General commanding. Au- gust the 13th, they were relieved from duty and returned to Zanesville, where they were mus- tered out, August 24th, 1864.
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTIETH O. V. I .- These were one hundred-day troops, also ; mustered, May 12th, 1864. Their first duty was guarding a supply train to Martinsburg-intended for General Siegel's army, then operating in that quarter of Virginia. On its return, it was placed in the First Brigade, First Division, of General Hunter's army, and, May 25th, moved with it to Woodstock, West Virginia ; thence, toward the front, but was detached and sent back to Mar- tinsburg, in charge of a supply train. Reaching the vicinity of Middletown, it discovered that Mosby's guerillas had made a dash on another train, in the rear. Colonel Reasoner, with one hundred and sixty men, marched to the aid of the train, and after a sharp fight with the enemy, succeeded in saving a large amount of Govern- ment property. The conduct of the troops un- der fire, was cool, daring, and determined. A number were wounded, but none killed. The regiment was kept almost continually march- ing and countermarching through the Shenan- doah Valley, very often in charge of large wagon-trains, on which Mosby's and other rebel bands of guerillas would make dashes, involving much skirmishing and danger, through all of which the regiment conducted itself handsome- ly. During most of the time. it was without tents or camp equipage.
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHTH O. V. I. -- This regiment was organized at Camp Chase, September 29th, 1864, and at once dispatched by rail and river to Nashville, Tennesse, with orders to report to Major General George H.
293

Thomas, for duty. The regiment remained there, doing guard duty, some two weeks, when it was sent to Tullahoma, Tennessee, where it formed a part of the post command. Nothing of interest occurred here, excepting that Lieu- tenant C. A. Poland. of Company B, while out scouting near Manchester. Tennessee, succeed- ed in capturing a noted guerilla, named John Seal. This cold-blooded murderer was executed without the formalities of a court martial.
The Adjutant General's office at Columbus, Ohio, furnishes the record, that Companies A and F "of this regiment from Muskingum coun- ty, were enrolled, for the most part, at Zanes- ville, during August and September, 1864 ; term of enlistment, one year." The post of Tulla- homa was evacuated in the winter of 1864, and the One Hundred and Seventy-eighth Ohio was sent to Murfreesboro. Lieutenant Colonel A. C. Johnson was appointed Chief of Artillery, and superintended the moving of all the artillery and ordnance from Tullahoma to Murfreesboro, by rail, and. during the siege of Murfreesboro by General Hood's rebel forces, which lasted for eighteen days, he acted as Chief of Artillery on General Rousseau's staff. Frequent sorties were made, in force, from the fort, for foraging pur- poses, under command of General Milroy, with severe fighting. The One Hundred and Seven- ty-eighth was closely engaged, under Colonel Stafford. In one of these engagements, the reg- iment lost both of its color-bearers. In the af- fair at Wilkerson's Pike. the force under General Milroy, which included this regiment, captured two fine twelve-pounder Napoleons, and two hundred prisoners.
After the defeat of General Hood's rebel army, at Nashville, the One Hundred and Sev- enty-eighth was brigaded in the First Division, Third Brigade. Twenty-third Army Corps, and ordered to North Carolina, and landed at Moore- head City, of that State, with the Twenty-third Army Corps, and, a few days thereafter, par- ticipated in a smart skirmish with the enemy, under General Johnston, at Wise's Fork. This was the last affair in which the regiment was engaged.
General Sherman's army was met and joined by the Twenty-third Army Corps, at Goldsboro, . North Carolina, and, together, an advance was made to Raleigh. After Johnston's rebel army surrendered, the One Hundred and Seventy- eighth was ordered to Charlotte, North Carolina, where it performed garrison duty until mustered out of the service, June 29th, 1865. It was paid and discharged at Camp Chase, July 10, 1865.
ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-FIFTH O. V. I .- This regiment was one of a series recruited for one year, in the early part of 1865, and started from Camp Chase with seven hundred and fifty- nine men, the majority of whom had seen service in other regiments. All its officers were veter- ans. The regiment arrived at Harper's Ferry, March 25, 1865, and, after doing garrison duty for a few days, went into camp near Winchester, with the troops of General Hancock. While in
this camp, the news of Lee's surrender was re- ceived, and the regiment was ordered to Alex- andria, Virginia, where it performed provost guard duty, until December 18th, 1865, and was thence ordered to Washington City, mustered out, and sent back to Camp Chase. Like all of the one year regiments recruited in the fall of 1864-5, it was composed of men who had fought through the whole war up to that period ; and, when they retired to their homes, they could truly say that they had "endured to the end," and that their beloved country, through their help, was once more to enjoy the fruits of their sacrifice-in peace.
ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SIXTH O.V. I .- This regiment organized at Camp Chase, and was mustered into the service, March 25th, 1865, and immediately started for Virginia, where it was assigned to the Ohio Brigade at Winchester. Of thirty-eight officers comprising the field staff, and line, there were only two who had not served over two years, and the majority had served during the war, in other organizations. More than two-thirds of the men in the One Hun- dred and Ninety-sixth had belonged to other regiments, and had been honorably discharged for wounds, or expiration of term of service. The men who composed the regiment, were mostly young men, and as an organization, it was not ex- celled in appearance, discipline and soldierly bearing, and though the regiment was not entitled to inscribe on its colors the name of any engage- ment, still nearly every battle-field in the Union, was represented in its ranks.
ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-EIGHTH O. V. I., COMPANY B-There were eight companies of this intended regiment, fully recruited and assembled at Camp Chase, all of which had been mustered in by company, but not as a regi- ment ; before the maximum was reached, how- ever, the "Confederacy" collapsed, and the men were sent to their homes.
Thus we close the chapter. That it might have been fuller of interesting incidents, is no doubt true, provided some faithful chroniclers had preserved them. But these that are given. have a shadow of doubt o'er them now and then. although this record should have been officially correct and complete. But when application was made to the Adjutant General of the State. for access to data from which to complete this chapter, we recieved official answer that that officer could not afford such data. We there- upon wrote to the Adjutant General of the United States and received a similar reply, both of which we have preserved for reference. The reader will no doubt be the more thankful to know that we did not take "no" for an answer. but mined out from the papers found at Colum- bus, and in the old drawers of other places. the names given, in the enumeration by regi- ment and company, and, in some cases. individ- uals. We have also to regret some discrepan- cies in "Ohio in the War," from which we have made copious extracts ; this is no doubt, . how- ever, a reliable work in general, and yet we have

discovered repetitions, and have undertaken to avoid this by the method pursued in this chapter. The difficulties that Mr. Whitelaw Reid had to encounter in compiling the history alluded to. can only be comprehended by those engaged in similar work, and hence we appreciate his labor, and say that he deserves the thanks of every citizen of the State of Ohio.
The following is as complete rosters of the soldiers from Muskingum County, who served in the late Rebellion, as could be procured :
