26, 1862. Of this regiment, two companies were raised in Allen County, two in Shelby, two in Hancock and one each in Auglaize, Mercer, Putnam and Van Wert.
For the regiment 1.700 men were recruited, but 700 were at once transferred to the 118th Ohio.
The regiment left Lima, August 31, 1862, with 1,021 men under orders to report at Lex- ington, Kentucky. While en route it was learned the enemy had taken Lexington and the regiment was ordered to Cynthiana. After a few weeks it went to Covington and entered the fortifications of Fort Mitchel. In Septem- ber it went by steamer to Louisville, and was so disposed as to assist in the defense of the place against the threatened assault of the con- federate forces under Bragg. On the Ist of October, the regiment was transferred to Col. Stanley Mathew's brigade, which was com- posed of the 51st and 99th Ohio, the Eighth and 21st Kentucky and the 35th Indiana. This subsequently became the Third Brigade, Third Division. 21st Army Corps. The regiment now marched in pursuit of Bragg's retreating forces as far as Wild Cat, from which place the brig- ade moved to Mount Vernon and again in reg- ular order to Somerset, Columbia, Glasgow and Gallatin. From this last point it was ordered to Lebanon to intercept the command of John Morgan. The march to Lebanon and back to Silver Springs was made in one day and Mor- gan's command was first dislodged but it fol- lowed the brigade on its retreat and captured about 100 of the Union forces, who were not able to keep up with the rapid march of the brigade.
About 20 of these stragglers belonged to the 99th Ohio. After a few days rest the regiment moved toward Nashville, and took position about seven miles from the city. Here the troops suffered greatly from sickness and when
the forward movement to Stone River was or- dered the regiment could only muster 369 pri- vates, two field officers and seven line and three staff officers who were fit for duty. On De- cember 26th the regiment advanced toward Murfreesboro, being under rebel fire part of the march. At the battle of Stone River it formed on the extreme left of the line. On the morning of December 31st the division crossed Stone River, but on account of the disaster on the right was ordered back to hold the ford, while the First and Second brigades were sent to reinforce the corps of General McCook. On January 1, 1863, the Third Division crossed the river and took a position which it held until Friday afternoon. when the rebels formed in heavy column and doubling on the center drove Van Cleve's division across the river. This division was at once reinforced and drove the rebels back, capturing all the artil- lery used in the attack. Bragg commenced his retreat under cover of night. In this fight the 99th lost three officers and 17 men, killed, and two officers and 41 men wounded and one officer and 29 men captured.
After the battle the regiment took position at Murfreesboro on the left of the line.
On June 30, 1863, it marched to McMinn- ville, where it remained until the 16th of Au- gust when it moved to Pikeville.
After various marches and duties the regi- ment moved to Ringgold and participated in the battle of Chickamauga. Soon after the 20th and 21st corps were consolidated and the 99th 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. There it did duty guarding and repairing the railroad from Chat- tanooga to Bridgeport. On the 22nd it moved up the valley and on the 24th participated in

HISTORY OF VAN WERT COUNTY
"the battle above the clouds," being the sec- ond 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 Federal line. After following the rebels to Ringgold. the regiment returned to Shell Mound, where it remained until February, 1864, when it moved to Cleveland, Tennessee, and on the 3rd of May entered upon the Atlan- ta campaign. It next participated in the actions of Rocky Face Ridge, Kenesaw Mountain, Pine Mountain, Atlanta. Jonesboro and Lovejoy's station, in all of which engagements the regi- ment bore an honorable and prominent part.
On the 28th of June it was assigned to the Fourth Brigade. Second Division, 23rd Corps. and on the 19th of July took possession of De- catur. The regiment participated in the ac- tions before Atlanta, and moved to Jonesboro and Lovejoy's station. It was next assigned to the First Brigade and returned to Decatur, hav- ing lost in the Atlanta campaign 30 men killed and 56 wounded. On the first of October the regiment started in pursuit of the command of Hood, moving to Centerville by way of Resaca, Johnsville and Waverly. For a few weeks its communication was cut off, but it finally re- ceived word 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 entrenched 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 pur- sued to Columbia, where this regiment was consolidated with the 15th Ohio, and the 99tlt ceased as an organization. The regimental colors were then sent to Governor John Brough of Ohio, who acknowledged their reception in a very complimentary letter. Among the of- ficers killed, none stood higher or deserved a higher encomium than Cap. William C. Scott. killed at the battle of Lookout Mountain.

52ND REGIMENT. O. V. I.
This regiment was organized in August, 1862. by Col. Daniel McCook. and on the 25th of August left Camp Dennison for Lexington, Kentucky. While en route the ladies of Cin- cinnati presented a banner to the regiment. On September 6th the regiment went into camp at Louisville, Kentucky. And there the 52nd Ohio and the 85th, 86th and 105th Illinois were brigaded and on the Ist of October, 1862, the brigade moved out in pursuit of Bragg's re- treating forces.
The enemy was encountered at Chaplin H.71 and a fight ensued in which Bragg informed his troops that Barnett's battery must be taken, saying, "It is supported by green troops and can be easily taken." The effort was made but the regiment and battery stood like veterans and sent the attacking column back in confu- sion. On reaching Nashville on December 10th the regiment was placed on garrison duty in which capacity it remained until March 7, 1863. In the battle of Chickamauga the brig- ade belonged to the reserve corps and was moved to Rossville Gap. finally taking posi- tion on the Ringgold road. On the 20th the regiment was assigned a position toward the front near McAfee's army. At noon the brig- ade was ordered into position about two miles to the right of the church. While moving to this position, the brigade was subjected to a
terrific fire at short range but moved on in gar lant order.
On the 21st the brigade was posted on the right of Rossville Gap, and was under fire from 2 o'clock until dark, when the Federal forces withdrew to Chattanooga. On the 28th two regiments were ordered to report to Gen- eral Hooker in Lookout Valley and the 52nd Ohio and the 86th Illinois were detailed and were temporarily constituted the Third Brig- ade, Second Division, 11th Army Corps. This was then stationed in two of the gaps near the base of Lookout Mountain, where it became an almost constant target for the rebel gunners On the 6th of November the regiment returned to camp at Chickamaugua Creek. At daylight on the morning of the 24th of November. the regiment reported at Caldwell's Ford. where under cover of darkness General Sherman had just thrown a bridge across the river.
The great battle followed and the rebels were driven from their position. The regi- ment afterward joined the march to Knoxville and on the 15th of December commenced the return to Chattanooga, on the night of the 19th going into camp on Chickamauga Creek. On the 26th it moved to McAfee's Church and went into camp near its position at the open- ing of the battle of Chickamauga. On the 14th of February it moved to Chickamauga station and on the 23rd returned to Ringgold. where on the next day it witnessed the taking of Tun- nel Hill. In the Atlanta campaign the regi- ment took honorable part in the actions at Dal- ton and Resaca. At Kenesaw Mountain the brigade attempted the impossible task of carry- ing the works in front, in which effort it suffer- ed severely and lost its leader. the colonel of the 52nd. It then participated in the Atlanta movement: and accompanied Sherman to Sa- vannah and in the march through Georgia and Carolinas. This campaign over. it participated
