regiment proceeded to Summerville. Two companies (C) and E) were left at Big Birch Bottoms; the remainder moved on to C'arni- fex Ferry and there had an en- counter with the enemy. A few days later the regiment moved to , Sewell Mountain, and Nov. 14 en- tered Fayetteville and took up quar- ters in the deserted houses. Mean- time the Sutton detachment had ser- eral skirmishes with bushrangers and horse thieves, in which three men were killed and several wounded. This detachment joined the regiment at Fayetteville, Dec. 23.
During the winter the regiment was employed upon fortifications and in detached duty. April 17, it moved to Raleigh and, on the 5th of May, to Princeton. Marching toward Giles Court House on the 10th, one company (II, the first in the regiment under artillery fire) attracted the fire of the enemies' batteries in the nar- rows of East and New Rivers. For eight days the daily allowance of each man was one cracker, a little sugar and a small quantity of coffee, beans and rice. May 17 the first, brigade of Cox's division, consisting of the Twelfth, Twenty-third and Thirtieth Ohio, and McMullen's bat- tery, fell back to Princeton and obtained supplies. On the 19th the Thirtieth encamped on Great Flat-top mountain, and two com- panies were sent forward to Green Meadows, which was occupied as an out-post. August 19th the regiment moved from the mountains to join the army in eastern Virginia. In three days and a half it reached
Brownstown, having marched ninety- five miles. Proceeding by transports on the Kanawha to Parkersburg, it took the cars for theEast, and Au- gust 23, encamped at Warrenton Junction, Va. At the battle of Cen- treville the Thirtieth was in the left wing and exposed to artillery fire. Marching on the 7th of September from Upton Hills, on the 9th it entered Frederick City; on the 14th, arrived at South Mountain, encountered the enemy and lost eighteen killed and forty-eight wounded; on the 16th reached Antietam bridge, and the next day, in an encounter with Gen. A. P. IIill's division, lost two officers killed and two wounded, eight men killed and thirty seven wounded. Moving to West Virginia in October, the regiment had no part in any noted engagement the remainder of the year. Marching to Brownstown in December, it proceeded with Gen- eral Ewing's brigade by water to Louisville, Ky., arriving JJan. 3, 1863, and thence to Helena. Ark., where the brigade became the second brigade of the second division of the Fifteenth Army Corps. During the winter and spring the regiment was at Young's Point and in the vicinity of Vicksburg. At the latter place, from May 20 until the surrender of the city, the regiment was engaged in demonstra- tions against the enemy and in fa- tigue and picket duty, and sustained heavy losses. Marching from Vicks- burg to Jackson, after the evacuation of the latter place it went into Camp at Black River July 23, remaining until September 26.
Proceeding by boats to Memphis,

arriving there October 2, it left two days later, and November 20 en- camped at Brown's Ferry, ten miles from Chattanooga. It participated in the battle of Mission Ridge, and on the 26th of November joined in pursuit of the rebels, returning to Bridgeport, Ala., December 19. Later it encamped at Larkin's Ferry, moving thence to Cleveland, Tenn., where a part of the regiment re-en- listed. Being ordered North, the regiment arrived at Columbus April 8, 1864, and were given veteran fur- loughs. May 10th the Thirtieth again started South arriving at Kingston, Ga., on the 20th. Marching on the 23rd, it reached the foot of Kenesaw Mountain June 19, having been al- most continually under fire during the march. In an attack on the rebel works June 27 the regiment lost thirty-five killed and wounded. In July it advanced to Atlanta and in the ensuing engagements on the 22d and 28th sustained heavy losses. August 5 the regiment was trans- ferred to the first brigade, and on the 29th those who were not veterans were mustered out. August 31, it engaged with the enemy near Jones- boro; October 5, started into Ala- bama; November 13, encamped at Atlanta ; December 13, took part in the assault on Fort McAllister, where it remained until January 1, 1865, then marched for Savannah.
From the beginning of the year until the latter part of April, the Thirtieth was campaigning in the Carolinas, without taking part in any notable battle. It then moved to Washington city, whence, June 2, it
departed for Louisville, Ky. On the 13th it left for Little Rock, Ark., where it remained until mustered out August 13, 1865. The regiment traveled, during its term of service, over 13,200 miles and experienced the most trying hardships.

36TH REGIMENT O. V. I.
The Thirty-sixth Ohio was organ- ized at Camp Putnam, Marietta, in August, 1861. Its first officers were Melvin Clarke, Esq., of Marietta, lieu- tenant colonel, and Prof. E. B. An- drews, major. For colonel, an effort was made to secure a man of extensive military knowledge, and such an officer was at last secured in George Crook, then a captain in the regular army. He assumed command Sep- tember 12, 1861. Prior to that time six companies in charge of Major A. J. Slemmer, then of General Rose- crans' statf, had marched through several counties of Western Virginia to stop the depredations of guerrillas. The other four companies remained at Parkersburg, uniting with the rest under Colonel Crook, at Sum- merville. There the regiment re- mained and drilled through the win- ter, and during their expeditions had several skirmishes with the guerrillas. The regiment suffered much from sickness during this period.
May 12, 1862, the regiment --
started for Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, and was there brigaded with the Forty-fourth Ohio and a battalion of the Second West Virginia cavalry. From Lewisburg, Colonel Crook and his brigade made an expedition through, return- ing to Lewisburg. Then on the 23d General IIeth, with from two thousand five hundred to three thou- sand men attacked the brigage, shell- ing their camp. The Thirty-sixth and the Forty-fourth, containing in the aggregate not more than one thou- sand two hundred effective men, were ordered to repel the attack, and did so so successfully that the rebels left upon the field sixty killed, one hundred and seventy-five prisoners, four pieces of artillery and three hun- dred stand of small arms. The Thirty- sixth lost seven killed, forty-four wounded and five captured on picket. This victory, won without artillery or the aid of the cavalry, was quickly and gloriously won. Moving back to Meadow Bluffs on the 29th of May, the brigade was there joined by the Forty seventh Ohio, and went in pur- suit of General Heth, but did not find him. The regiment remained with the brigade in Western and Eastern Virginia until September. On the 12th of that month it reached Frederick, Md., in advance of the rest . of Mcclellan's army, had a skirmish with Stewart's cavalry and on the 14th the brigade was actively engaged at South Mountain, making a memorable bayonet charge, scat- Itering and routing the enemy from that part of the field. The Thirty- sixth lost several men, being for a

time exposed to an enfilading fire. Three days later the regiment was in the battle of Antietam, forming a part of Burnside's force on the left. Ilere Colonel Clarke was instantly killed by a ten pound shell, and Lieu- tenant-Colonel Andrews succeeded in command.
After the battle the regiment re- mained in Maryland for a time, and in October was ordered with the brigade to West Virginia. Encamp- ing at Charleston November 16, it remained there nearly three months. Jan. 23,1863, the Thirty-sixth embark- ed for Nashville, to join the army of Gen. Rosecrans. A few days after its arrival, the Thirty-sixth, together with the Eleventh and Ninety-second Ohio, all under Gen. Crook, was ordered up the Cumberland River to Carthage. In June the brigade marched for Murfreesboro, and was there attached to Major-General Reynold's division. Proceeding South with the army, it was in the fight at Chickamauga, where the Thirty-sixth sustained the loss of seventy gallant soldiers, among them Colonel W. G. Jones, who had succeeded Colonel Andrews in com- mand. The regiment was concerned in the operations about Chattanooga, including the capture of Brown's Ferry, and on the 25th of Novem- ber was in the battle of Mission Ridge, when it lost eighty-three inen.
Re-enlisting in March, 1864, after the expiration of the furlough, the Thirty-sixth returned to its old camp- ing ground at Charleston, W. Va. Thence the brigade, in command of General Crook, made a successful raid to Dublin Depot, during which
occurred an engagement at Cloyd's Mountain. After destroying a large amount of railroad and rebel gov- ernment property, the expedition turned back to Meadow Bluff, and soon after arriving there was ordered to join General Hunter in the Shen- andoah Valley. In the ensuing months the regiment experienced a good deal of hard marching, did some skirmishing, and burned and destroyed much rebel property. Re- treating from Lynchburg before .
Early, the expedition arrived back at Charleston on the Kanawha in July, in a badly demoralized condition- half starved and broken down. From Charleston to Parkersburg by boat and thence by rail the troops again returned to the Shenandoah Valley. July 19th at Kernstown, near Winchester, the division en- countered the enemy and lost one hundred and fifty men. Then, for the first and only time in its history, the Thirty-sixth turned its back to the enemy, and, with the rest of the di- vision, retreated in disorder. It had retreated before, but always in good order. Subsequent operations in the Valley in which the Thirty-sixth had a conspicuous part were engagements at Berryville, September 3; Opequon, September 19; and a surprise at Cedar Creek in which the Nationals were first routed, then the Confederates. The Thirty-sixth remained in the Valley until December. It was then ordered to Cumberland, Md., and there consolidated with the Thirty- fourth Ohio. In April, 1865, the consol- idated regiment was ordered back to Winchester, and thence to Staunton.
