ORGANIZATION OF COMPANY F.
Captain Joseph R. Bartlett began re- cruiting, or rather enlisting men for Com- pany F, in July, 1861. After obtaining about forty men recruiting became dull and it seemed impossible to obtain a full compa- ny in any reasonable time. Charles A. Nor- ton had assisted actively so far in procuring men, and expected to be first lieutenant of the company. Meantime Timothy H. Wilcox had enlisted about forty men to form a company of Home Guards, who were willing to join Captain Bartlett's company, and go into the service, on con- dition that Mr. Wilcox should have the position of first lieutenant. Mr. Norton generously gave way to Mr. Wilcox, and the men enlisted by the latter entered, and this, with little further effort, soon completed the company, and it went to Camp Noble, near Tiffin, Seneca county, for equipment and drill.
The generosity of Mr. Norton soon met with reward in his appointment to the office of adjutant of the regiment, in which capacity he proved a good soldier and efficient officer during the service.
About the middle of November, 1862, Captain Bartlett's soldierly qualities at- tracted the attention of General I. W. Sill, who appointed him Inspector-General of the Second Division of the Army of the Cumberland, of which General Sill

was then in command. In December, 1862, General Sill was assigned to another command, and on leaving the division ad- dressed to Inspector Bartlett the following complimentary and friendly letter :
CAMP ON MILL CREEK, December 10, 1862. Captain Bartlett, Acting Division Inspector, Divi- sion Aid-de-Camp :
SIR: In parting with you I beg to express my thanks for the zeal and fidelity with which you have performed your duties, and to assure you that if as- sociated in future it will be a souce of much gratifica- tion, as it is now a source of regret, that I am obliged to separate from you. Whatever be your course hereafter, I doubt not it will be creditable in the highest degree, and I tender you my best wishes for your success and promotion.
Very respectfully, your friend, I. W. SILL, Brigadier-General.
General R. W. Johnson then took com- mand of the division, and continued Cap- tain Bartlett in the same position on his staff that he had held under General Sill, and, until after the battle of Liberty Gap, he acted as chief of staff and Adjutant- General of the division, in addition to the duties of Inspector-General. Captain Bartlett has numerous testimonials of faithful service, and also recommendations for promotion. Amongst these are found commendations and recommendations from Colonel Keufler, commanding Third Brigade, Third Division, Fourth Army Corps; Major-General D. S. Stanley, com- manding Fourth Army Corps; Major- General O. O. Howard, formerly com- mander of the same corps; Brigadier- General Thomas J. Wood, commander Third Division, same corps; also Colonel William H. Gibson, afterwards Brigadier- General commanding First Brigade, Third Division.

THE FIFTY-FIFTH REGIMENT OF OHIO VOL- UNTEER INFANTRY.
This regiment went into camp at Nor- walk, Ohio, on the 17th of October, 1861. On the 25th of January, 1862, it left Nor- walk for Grafton, West Virginia, and after a short stay there it moved to New Creek. It moved by hard marches thence through Romney to Moorefield, where it partici- pated in some skirmishing. It was raised chiefly by the exertions of Colonel John C. Lee, who afterwards became Lieuten- ant Governor of Ohio. Colonel Lee re- signed May 8, 1863, and the command of the regiment devolved on Lieutenant Colo-

nel Charles Gambee, of Bellevue. Colo- nel Gambee was killed at the battle of Resaca, on the 15th of May, 1864. On the Ist of January, 1864, three hundred and nineteen of the men of the Fifty-fifth had re-enlisted and returned to Ohio, ar- riving at Norwalk on the 20th of the same month. On the 4th of March, 1864, it was again encamped in Lookout Valley. It marched through Atlanta with the Twentieth Army Corps, toward the sea coast, and entered Savannah, Georgia, on the 21st of December and camped near that city. After much hard service and suffering, having passed through Golds- boro and Raleigh, on the 30th of April, 1865, it commenced its march to Wash- ington, reaching Richmond on the 11th of May, and on the 18th camped in the vicin- ity of Alexandria. On the 24th of May, 1865, it crossed the long bridge and partici- pated in the grand review and went into camp near Washington. On the 11th of July, 1865, the Fifty-fifth was mustered out of service, was paid off at Cleveland, Ohio, and discharged on the 19th day of July, 1865.
The fighting qualities of this regiment are displayed in a brief statement. Dur- ing its term of service it enrolled one thousand three hundred and fifty men, and of these about seven hundred and fifty were either killed or wounded in battle.
A number of good men for this regiment were recruited in Sandusky county in the vicinity of Bellevue. The memoranda furnished the writer gives the names of men of certain companies of the regiment, but does not designate those of Sandusky county from those enlisted from other counties. We therefore give the list as furnished, as the time allowed the writer to finish his work will not permit of further search or investigation into the places of enlistment.

FIFTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUN-
TEER INFANTRY.
The Fifty-seventh regiment Ohio Vol- unteer Infantry was organized at Camp Vance, near Findlay, in Hancock county, Ohio, under authority of Governor Denni- son, given September 14, 1861. Before its organization was completed the regi- ment, on the 22d of January, 1862, moved to Camp Chase, where its organization was completed, on February 10, 1862. It numbered, when mustered in, nine hun- dred and fifty six men, and thirty-eight commissioned officers.
Sandusky county furnished a number of men for different companies of the Fifty- seventh, whose services cannot be properly known and appreciated without a brief sketch of the services of the whole regi- ment.
On the 18th of February, 1862, the Fifty-seventh was ordered to report at Fort Donelson, On its way, and while at Smithland, Kentucky, the order was changed, and it consequently reported at Paducah, Kentucky. Here it was assigned to the Third Brigade, Fifth Division of the Army of the Tennessee. Thence it was moved, by the steamer Continental, to Fort Henry, arriving there on the 9th of March, 1862. From Fort Henry it moved to Savannah, Tennessee, arriving there on the 11th of March. After par- ticipating in an ineffectual attempt to strike the Memphis and Charleston rail- road at Iuka, Mississippi, they returned
and went to Pittsburg Landing, where they arrived on the 16th of March. Here the Fifth Division was employed in recon- noitering towards Pea Ridge, and also towards Corinth. On the 19th it went into camp at Shiloh Chapel, three miles south of the Landing. On the Ist of April the regiment in company with other troops and two gunboats, went to Eastport, Mis- sissippi, about thirty miles from the Land- ing. The Fifty-seventh was on the fore- most transport. The boats shelled the woods and towns along the way, but elicited no reply. Passing up as far as Chickasaw, Alabama, they there shelled the town and the rebel works, but the enemy had left, and the Fifty-seventh was ordered to debark and scout the surround- ing hills and villages. In this scouting the regiment captured a few prisoners, men and boys, and then returned to camp.
So much had the regiment suffered from sickness, that on the morning of the 6th of April there were but four hundred and fifty men for duty. Being posted with the right resting on the Corinth road im- mediately south of the church, it was among the first to meet the advance of the rebel forces. About six o'clock A. M., of the 6th of April, 1862, the Fifty- seventh formed and advanced until it reached the little eminence upon which Shiloh church stood. It held this posi- tion until ten o'clock, and successfully withstood the attack of the Mississippi Rifles, Crescent Guards from New Orleans, and the Fourteenth Tennessee, from Memphis. It was then ordered to fall back upon the Purdy and Hamburg road, which it did in good order. The Union line was pressed back three-quarters of a mile further. In three days fighting in and around Shiloh, the Fifty-seventh lost twenty-seven killed and one hundred and fifty were wounded (sixteen mortally), and ten captured. The regiment remained in
261
HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.
camp at Shiloh Church until the 29th of April, and was engaged in drilling and preparing for the com- ing campaign. On the 29th the regi- ment started for Corinth, and did good service until the rebels evacuated that place. It did good fighting at camps Six and Seven, and at the Russell House was warmly engaged. While advancing on Corinth the Fifty-seventh was assigned to the First brigade of the Fifth division. Af- ter various services in repairing roads and guarding bridges, the regiment, on the 12th of November, was assigned to the First brigade of the First division of the Fifteenth Army Corps. During the stay at Memphis the regiment was drilled thor- oughly in the skirmish drill and bayonet exercise.
The Fifty-seventh was part of a con- siderable force sent against General Price on the Tallahatchee River near Wyatt, in Mississippi, which place it reached on the 2d of December, and finding the place evacuated the march was continued to- wards Grenada.
On the 9th of December the Fifteenth Corps returned to Memphis, where it ar- rived on the 13th. Here the Fifty-seventh was strengthened by receiving one hun- dred and eighteen volunteers and two hundred and five drafted men, which made the aggregate force six hundred and fifty men. Thence the regiment next moved, with the Fifteenth Army Corps, down the Mississippi, and reached Young's Point on the 26th of December. The corps next moved up the Yazoo River and disembarked at Sidney John- son's plantation; marched thence to Chickasaw Bayou, where the corps, in try- ing to effect a crossing, was for five days engaged with the enemy. In this action the Fifty-seventh lost thirty-seven killed and wounded.
On the 2d of January, 1863, the corps
moved down the Yazoo to the Mississippi, and up the Mississippi to White River, and up the latter river to the cut-off, and through the cut-off into the Arkansas, and up the Arkansas to Arkansas Post, disem- barking there on the 10th of January, 1863.
The Fifty-seventh led the brigade in the charge and assault of Fort Henderson, where, after three days hard fighting, the enemy surrendered. In this action the regiment lost in killed and wounded, thirty-seven men. The regiment then moved back towards Vicksburg, disem- barking at Young's Point on the 2 Ist of January, 1863, and went to work on the canal. The regiment advanced upon Vicksburg, participating in the battles of Raymond, Champion Hill, and Black River, and reached the works around Vicksburg on the 18th of May, and partic- ipated in the general assault on the 19th, and after considerable hard fighting, was within seventy yards of the rebel line when, at 2 o'clock of the morning of the 20th, the entire brigade was with- drawn to a position three hundred yards in the rear of the line of fortifications. Excepting a short time spent in reconnoit- ering between the Big Black and Yazoo Rivers, the regiment was in service in the trenches or on picket duty, until the sur- render of Vicksburg.
After much hard service, on the Ist of January, 1864, it re-enlisted in the Fif- teenth Army Corps. After spending a furlough of thirty days at home among friends, the regiment rendezvoused at Camp Chase with two hundred and seven recruits. On the 29th of March, 1864, it arrived at Nashville, and was there de- tained until the 4th of April when it marched to Larkinsville, Alabama, where, on the 17th of April, it rejoined its brig- ade. On the Ist of May it moved with the corps in the Atlanta campaign, arriving
262
HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.
in the vicinity of Chattanooga on the 6th, and advanced through Snake Creek Gap to Resaca, where it participated in the battle at that place, on the 13th and 14th of May, 1864. This was one of the most severe contests in which the regi- ment was engaged, and its loss was fifty- seven killed and wounded. It joined in the pursuit of the enemy, who made a stand at Dallas, where fighting continued for three days. The regiment here lost fifteen men. After several days skirmish- ing, the regiment, on the 27th of June, participated in an assault on the enemy's lines at Kenesaw. In this engagement it lost fifty-seven men in killed and wounded.
From Atlanta the regiment was with Sherman's army, doing good service and enduring much hardship, until it reached Richmond by way of Petersburg. Thence it passed to Washington city and was in the grand review there on the 24th of May, 1865; was ordered thence to Louis- ville, Kentucky, where it arrived on the 7th of June. On the 14th of June it was mustered out and paid at Camp Chase and finally discharged from the service.
When the Fifty-seventh was first organ- ized the regimental officers were : Colo- nel William Mungen, Lieutenant Colonel William Mungen, Major Silas B. Walker, Surgeon John P. Haggett. There were many promotions and changes in rank and date of rank of these officers which are here omitted.

THE SEVENTY-SECOND REGIMENT OF OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
Although Sandusky county had fur- nished quite liberally of her brave and patriotic men to the Eighth, the Twenty- fifth, Forty-ninth, and Fifty-seventh regi- ments of volunteer infantry, all of which were organized in other counties, and also to the naval, artillery and cavalry service, and although these different organizations attracted those most ready and eager to go, there remained in the county many patriotic men whose business, family ties, or some particular temporary reasons held them back. But as the progress of events developed the dangers which environed the Nation and threatened more alarm- ingly the existence of the Union, it became evident that another appeal must be made to the men of the county, and more sacri-
fices offered to save the country's flag from disgrace and to rescue the Constitution from the hands of traitors. These grave apprehensions for the Nation's existence brought out that state of feeling which in- duced the organization of the
SEVENTY-SECOND OHIO VOLUNTEER IN- FANTRY.
The first formal public notice of such an undertaking appeared in the Fremont Journal of October 4, 1861. It was an editorial mention that Hon. R. P. Buck- land, of Fremont, had received orders from Governor Dennison, dated October 2, 1861, to raise regiment number seven- ty-two, and establish Camp Croghan in Fremont, of which he had been commis- sioned Lieutenant - Colonel. Isaac M. Keeler, then editor of the Journal, made an appeal to the people to come forward and help to fill and organize the proposed regiment, and send it forward promptly to sustain the Constitution and the Union.
The next issue of the paper, October II, 1861, contained a call over the signa- ture of Colonel Buckland. He reminded the men of Sandusky county that Ken- tuckians fought for us at Fort Stephenson, and that Kentucky was now appealing for help from us to drive back the invad- ing enemies of the Constitution and of liberty; of the obligations we owed them and to the cause of constitutional liberty, and urged men to enlist and fill up the regiment as soon as possible, and march to the aid of brothers and fathers who had preceded them to the scenes of conflict and danger, and assist in rescuing them from impending danger and destruction.
On the 6th of December it was an- nounced through the press that recruiting for the Seventy-second was progressing satisfactorily. At that date company A, Captain C. G. Eaton, of Clyde, Ohio, had eighty-four men; company B,-Captain George Raymond, First Lieutenant Henry
264
HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.
W. Buckland, Second Lieutenant William T. Fisher-had eighty-three men; com- pany F,-Captain S. A. J. Snyder, First Lieutenant Jacob Snyder, Second Lieu- tenant Daniel Huffman-had eighty-four men ; that two hundred Enfield rifles for the flanking companies, A and B, had been received at camp.
On the 19th of December, 1861, the cit- izens of Fremont presented Colonel R. P. Buckland with a beautiful and trusty sword, which he still retains and treasures with great care.
On the 20th of December, 1861, the citizens of Clyde presented a sword to Captain C. G. Eaton, with an appropriate address, to which Captain Eaton respond- ed in a short address, full of patriotism and eliciting hearty applause.
On Friday, the 17th day of January, 1862, it was announced that the Seventy- second regiment was full and formed, and that the captains and lieutenants were as follows:
COMPANY A. (One hundred men.) COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Captain G. C. Eaton. First Lieutenant W. H. Gifford. Second Lieutenant S. Russell.
