AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS


On June 30, 1863, it marched to McMinnville, where it remained until the 16th of August, when it moved to Pikeville.


After various marches and duties the regiment moved to Ringgold and participated in the battle of Chickamauga. Soon afterward the Twentieth and Twenty-first Corps were consolidated, and the Ninety-ninth Regiment was transferred to the Second Brigade, First Division, Fourth Corps. This brigade camped for a time opposite Lookout Mountain, but on the Ist of November moved to Shell Mound, where it did duty guarding and repairing the rail- road from Chattanooga to Bridgeport. On the 22d it moved up the valley, and on the 24th participated in the "battle above the clouds," being the second line of the charging column. As the lines swept around the mountain the Second closed up on the First, until, nearing the Point, it rushed impetuously through the first line and held the advance until relieved by fresh troops after nightfall.


The next day the regiment was engaged at Mission Ridge, occupying the extreme right of the National line. After following the Rebels to Ringgold the regiment returned to Shell Mound, where it remained until February; 1864, when it moved to Cleveland, Tenn., and on the 3d of May entered upon the Atlanta campaign. It next participated in the actions of Rocky Face Ridge, Kenesaw Mountain, Pine Mountain, Atlanta, Jonesboro' and Lovejoy, in all of which engagements the regiment bore an honorable and prominent part.


On the 28th of June it was assigned to the Fourth Brigade, Second Division, Twenty-third Corps, and on the 19th of July took possession of Decatur. The regiment participated in the actions before Atlanta and moved to Jonesboro' and Lovejoy. It was next assigned to the First Brigade and returned to Decatur, having lost in the Atlanta campaign thirty men killed and fifty-six wounded. On the Ist of October the regiment started in pursuit of the command of Hood, moving to Centreville by way of Resaca, Johnson- ville, and Waverly. For a few weeks its communication was cut off, but it finally received orders by courier to march to Franklin. As this place was in the hands of the enemy the march was continued to Nashville.


It next appeared in line in front of Nashville, and on the morning of the 15th of December moved against the intrenched army of Hood. It drove the enemy from one position to another until it found them posted on a hill covered by a stone wall. The division, without orders, charged the position, carried it, and turned the guns upon the retreating foe. The enemy was pursued to Columbia, where this regiment was consolidated with the Fiftieth Ohio and the Ninety-ninth ceased as an organization. The regimental colors were then sent to Sidney, until the return of Sergeant Wm. M. Van Fossen, when he took them in charge, and they are still in his possession.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY


This regiment, eight companies strong, was sent to Cincinnati in Septem- ber, 1862, as that city was then threatened by Kirby Smith. The ninth com- pany was here formed, and the regiment mustered into the service. Late in September it moved, under Gen. A. J. Smith, toward Lexington, but at Cynthiana was detached to guard the railroad. Patrol and guard duty was performed, and rebel recruiting largely prevented. On August 1, 1863, it went, by Lexington and Louisville, to Lebanon, Ky., and on the 20th 18

HISTORY OF SHELBY COUNTY


set out on a march for East Tennessee. On November 10th, Kingston was reached, and a few days later the rebels cut the communication between that point and Knoxville. Picket duty became arduous, to prevent a surprise from Wheeler's cavalry. The victories at Knoxville and Chattanooga relieved the Kingston garrison, and on December 9th, the regiment reached Nashville, and from there went to Blain's Cross Roads, and finaly to Mossy Creek, to sup- port Elliott's cavalry. On the 29th, the rebel cavalry under Martin and Arm- strong assaulted General Elliott, at Paultier's creek, when he fell back to Mossy creek. As the cavalry approached, the regiment took position in the edge of a piece of woods, when the rebel force moved directly upon them. When the enemy approached within a hundred yards, the regiment opened a rapid fire, which was kept up about two hours, when it charged the rebels, and drove them over the crest of a hill. In this action the rebels lost about forty, killed and wounded. It was disposed with great skill, by Lieutenant-Colonel Young, and commanded by General Elliott. While in East Tennessee, the regiment suffered great privations, and subsisted about six months on half and quarter rations. They had neither sugar nor coffee for four months. Cloth- ing was also short, but with all this the troops never murmured, but were even cheerful. The regiment was then kept changing about until the campaign of 1864. One march of one hundred miles, to Charleston, was made in five days. May 4th, the regiment encamped on state line. Here all baggage was sent to the rear. On the 7th, the regiment moved upon Dalton, and again advanced upon Resaca. On the afternoon of the 14th, it participated in a charge on the enemy's works, and lost one hundred and sixteen men, in less than ten minutes, out of three hundred actually engaged. On the 15th the engagement was renewed, but that night Johnston retired to Cassville, which in turn he abandoned, on approach of the national forces. After a few days' rest, the regiment went into the desperate battles of Dallas and Pumpkin-Vine creek, and bore a gallant and honorable part. It was afterwards engaged at Kenesaw mountain, at the Chattahoochie, at Utoy creek, and in the final move- ments about Atlanta. In these operations, about seventy-five men were lost. During one hundred and twenty-one consecutive days, the regiment was within hearing of hostile firing every day except one. During sixty consecutive days it was under fire sixty different times, and during one week there was not a period of five minutes during which the whistling of a ball or the scream of a shell could not be heard. After the fall of Atlanta the regiment fell back to Decatur, where, after a short rest, it joined in the pursuit of Hood, as far as Gaylesville, Ala. On the 23d of November it went to Johnsonville, Tenn., and then to Columbia, to join the army confronting Hood, finally reaching Franklin on the 30th. The brigade was drawn up in single line, its right resting on the Williamsburg pike, and its left at the Locust grove, this regiment being second from the right. The enemy struck the line to the left of the regiment. The shock was terrific, but the line stood firm, and poured a terrific fire into the rebel column. The troops fought desperately, the men using bayonets, and the officers side-arms, over the very breastworks. By daylight the One Hundred and Eighteenth were across the river, and falling

on Nashville, where it was again engaged. After the battle of Nashville, it participated in the pursuit of the rebels as far as Columbia, and then went to Clifton. From there it proceeded to North Carolina, and on January 16, 1865. On February 11th, it embarked on a steamer at Alexandria, landed at nati proceeded by rail to Washington City, which was reached January 27, 1865. On February 11, it embarked on a steamer at Alexandria, landed at Smithville, at the mouth of Cape Fear river, moved immediately on Fort Anderson, captured it, and the One Hundred and Eighteenth regiment was the first to plant its colors on the walls. On February 20th, it engaged in a sharp action at Town creek, in which three hundred horsemen and two pieces of artillery were captured, and then entered Wilmington on the 22d. On the 6th of March it moved to Kingston, then to Goldsboro', and joined Sherman's army on the 23d of March. It then camped at Mosley Hall until April 9th, when it participated in the final operations against Johnston. It then camped near Raleigh until May 3d, when it moved to Greensboro', and then to Salis- bury, where it remained until June 24th, when it was mustered out of the ser- vice. The regiment arrived at Cleveland, O., June 2, was welcomed by Chief Justice Chase, participated in a 4th of July celebration, and was finally dis- charged on the 9th of July, 1865, having first gone into camp at Lima, O., in August, 1862.
