MILITARY RECORD.
November. the regiment shared in the assault on Mission Ridge, then moved to the relief of Knoxville.
In May, 1864, the regiment having re- turned from veteran furlough, joined the National forces at Rocky Face Ridge. This was the commencement of the Atlanta cam- paign. In this campaign the Sixty-first was brigaded with the Third Brigade, First Divis- ion of the Twentieth Corps, under Maj. Gen. Ilooker, and participated in the battles of Resaca, Cassville, Dallas, Kingston, Lost Mountain, Kenesaw Mountain, crossing of the Chattahoochie and Peach Tree Creek. It moved with Sherman's army to the sea, then marched through the swamps of South Carolina, and after the battle of Bentonville moved to Golds- boro, N. C., where it was consolidated with the Eighty-second Obio. This act blotted from the rolls of the army the name of the Sixty-first Ohio, but its deeds remain on record. It was always a reliable regiment, and was ever found where duty called it. Its losses by the casual- ties of the field were so numerous that at the close of its service a little band of about sixty officers and men remained to answer to its last roll-call. The consolidated regiment, now the Eighty-second, marched to Washington, took part in the grand review, then moved to Colum- bus, Ohio, and was mustered out September 1, 1865.
