20TH REGIMENT, O. V. I .- RE-ORGANI- ZATION.
The Twentieth Regiment, first or- ganized as a three months' regiment, contained after its re-organization a company (Captain Shacklee's) com- posed principally of Noble County men. The re-organization took place at Camp King, near Covington, Ky., October 21, 1861, under the com- mand of Colonel Charles Whittlesey, a graduate of West Point. During the following winter the regiment was employed in guarding batteries near Covington and Newport. Dur- ing this time four companies were sent to the vicinity of Warsaw, Ky., and February 11, 1862, all of the regi- ment, except Co. K, embarked for the Cumberland River. Fort Donelson was the first battle in which it parti- cipated. After the surrender of the fort, the Twentieth was sent north in charge of prisoners. By March 16, seven companies had been brought together, and were sent up the Tennessee River. In April it par ticipated in the battle of Pittsburgh Landing, at which place it remained, suffering much from sickness, during the advance on Corinth. Subsequently the regiment served at Bolivar and Inka, and December 4, entered Ox-

ford, Miss., in the second brigade of Logan's division. After the capture of Holly Springs, it turned north, arriving at Memphis, January 28, 1863, where it received 200 recruits and drafted men. Next serving in Louisiana and Mississippi, May 12th, it took part in an engagement at Raymond, Miss., in which it lost twelve killed and fifty-two wounded. At Champion Hills it was in the thickest of the fight. It was next employed about Vicksburg, in the Yazoo Valley, at Jackson, etc. In January, 1864, two-thirds of the men present re-enlisted, and in February they joined the Meridian expedition, returning to Vicksburg, March 4. The regiment went north on a vet- eran furlough, rendezvoused at Camp Dennison, May 1, and proceeded to Cairo, Ill., thence to Clifton, Tenn. Marching thence, it joined General Sherman at Ackworth, June 9th. Thenceforth it was with Sherman's army in the Atlanta and Carolina campaigns, and July 18, 1865, was mustered out of service at Columbus, Ohio.

62D REGIMENT O. V. I.
The Sixty-second Ohio, Colonel Francis B. Pond, was organized at Camp Goddard, Zanesville, Ohio, in November, 1861, and remained in camp until the latter part of January, 1862. It was then ordered . to report to General Rosecrans, commanding in Western Virginia. February 3 the regiment encamped at Great Cacapon Creek; March 10, moved thence to Martins- burg, and thence to Winchester. It took part in the battle at the latter place, and in the pursuit of the flying enemy as far as Strasburg. In April and May it was encamped at Edinburgh and New- market. May 12 the regiment began a toilsome march through the moun- tains, via Swift's Gap, Cheat Gap, and Warrenton, to Falmouth. At the latter place, May 25, it was re- viewed by the President and Gener- als Shields and MeDowell. Ordered thence to Western Virginia again, the regiment marched through Catlett's Station, Manassas Junction, Ilay- market, Rectortown, Front Royal, Luray and Columbia Bridge, where it arrived June 5. The same day the Sixty-second made a forced march to a point within five miles of Port Re- public, where the advance brigades met the enemy under Stonewall Jackson, and after a fierce struggle of several hours, were compelled to i
retreat and return to Columbia
Bridge and Luray. June 16 it marched to Front Royal, and on the 20th resumed the march through the mountains ria Manassas Gap, arriv- ing at Alexandria, June 28. Sailing for Fortress Monroe June 30, it was taken thence to Ilarrison's Landing and set to picket duty, which it con- tinued to perform until August 15.
The Sixty-second saw some skirm- ishing meantime but no heavy fight- ing. It moved down the peninsula in the retreat of Yorktown and Fortress Monroe and thence to Suffolk, re- maining in that vicinity until De- cember 31. The regiment moved thence to Norfolk, and January 4. 1863, by transports, to Beaufort, N. C., and by rail to Newbern. It was next at Port Royal, St. Helena's Island, Coal Island and Folly Island, successively ; April 7, at Morris Island, where the enemy were driven into their entrenchments, with great loss. July 18, 1863, in the assault on Fort Wagner the Sixty-second lost one hundred and fifty men killed, wounded and missing, including sev- eral of its gallant officers. The regi- ment behaved very gallantly. It also took part in the siege of Charles- ton, from July 10 to October 31, then returned to Folly Island. No- vember 5, it moved to Hilton Head. In January 1864, the troops re- enlisted and were given a veteran furlough. March 3, 1864, the Sixty- second was at Washington, D. C., whence it was immediately sent to the front near Petersburg, Va. From this time onward the Sixty- second was concerned in the oper- ations that raged about the lines

of the rebel capital. May 9 and 10 it was hotly engaged and lost heavily. May 20, a portion of the lines hav- ing fallen into the hands of the enemy, the Sixty-second was dele- gated to retake the ground; a des- perate charge ensued and the regi- ment lost heavily, but gained possession of the enemy's rifle pits. During the spring, summer and fall of 1864, the Sixty-second was almost constantly encountering the enemy and drawing his fire. For weeks at a time the men dared not throw off their accoutrements. In the spring of 1865, the Sixty-second took part in the operations below Peters- burg. April 2, it was one of the foremost regiments in the assault on Fort Gregg. It also took part at Appomattox. About the first of September, 1865, it was consolidated with the Sixty-seventh Ohio, which was mustered out in December.

42D REGIMENT, O. V. I.
The Forty-second Regiment was organized at Camp Chase, near Colum- bus. Companies A, B, C and D were mustered into the service September 25, 1861; the remaining companies at different dates later, the regimental organization being completed Novem- ber 26. James A.Garfield was the first colonel of the regiment, and was suc- ceeded in March, 1862, by Colonel L. A. Sheldon.
Company D, of the Forty-second, was raised in Noble County. The.fol- lowing history of the company was written by Dr. R. Stephenson :
" The company was raised at Sum- merfield, in September, 1861; joined the Forty-second Regiment as Com- pany D, September 25,commanded by James A.Garfield. Went up the Sandy Valley and met the enemy at Middle Creek, January 10, 1862, drove him from the field, inflicting heavy lossand clearing the valley of rebels; fought. the battle of Pound Gap, March 15,

NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR.
1862, ridding the valley of the last of the guerrillas that had infested this locality for some time. We then marched back to Piketown, from thence by foot to the mouth of the Big Sandy River; took boats there for Louisville, Ky., and thence by rail to Lexington, marched to Cumber- land Ford, where we found it im- possible to attack Cumberland Gap from that side, and so marched over into Powell's Valley in rear of the Gap, which place we captured June 18, 1862. During the summer we garrisoned this place and fortified it fully, having often to go out on scouting expeditions to suppress the bushwackers that infested that re- gion. While out foraging near Tazer- ville we had a severe engagement with the advance of Bragg and Kirby Smith's army, August 3 and 4, 1862, but succeeded in bringing in 200 wagons loaded with the much-needed provisions for our starving army, which was compelled to evacuate Cumberland Gap in September, and marched to the Ohio River, near Greensburg, Ky., arriving October 3, the hungriest and raggedest set of Yankees loose in Dixie. This was the most severe service that we had. After getting reste:l we then went up the Big Kanawha River, and as- sisted in driving the Johnnies out of the valley, marched down to Point Pleasant, took the boats for Memphis, where we joined the fleet and arrived at Chickasaw Bluffs, on the Yazoo River, Christmas day, proceeded to get the worst drubbing we ever got. In the charge on the Bluffs, one brigade, Colonel DeCouray's, was al-
most annihilated, and the Forty-sec- ond covered the retreat gallantly, General Sherman to the contrary, notwithstanding.
"We got out though, and went to Arkansas Post, where we surrounded and took in the Johnnies, of- ficers, mules, and all, about 9,000 of them, then to Young's Point, opposite Vicksburg, where we 'mudded' it until spring, and then started on the campaign in rear of Vicksburg. Fought the bat- tle of Grand Gulf, April 29, marched down opposite Bruinsburg, crossed the river, marched to Thompson's Hill, where we fought on May 1, and won the first score in rear of Vicksburg. Next, at Fourteen-Mile Creek, we had a set-to with the Johnnies, but on May 10, at Cham- pion Hill, was fought one of the closely contested battles of the war; next day we climbed their works, at Black River bridge, and on the 19th invested the city of Vicksburg, and opened our cracker line to our great relief, as our five days' rations got mighty thin by this time; here we played Gopher, and swapped lead until the 4th day of July, when the Johnnies cried enough; then we marched to Jackson, and after a week's fighting there, Joe Johnston, like the Arab, folded his tent and silently stole away. The Thirteenth Army Corps then went to New Or- leans, where we took in the advance to Texas, by way of the Teche Country, having several slight skirmishes with the enemy back to the town of Plac- quemine, which we garrisoned that winter; this was the only soft snap
