SIXTY-SIXTIL OHIO INFANTRY.
The Sixty-sixth Ohio was organized at Camp McArthur, Urbana, Ohio, October I, 1861, under Col. Charles Candy, and on the 17th of January, 1862, moved to West Vir- ginia and reported to Gen. Lander at New Creek, where the first field camp was made. Gen. Shields soon succeeded Gen. Lander, and the Sixty-sixth, for a few weeks, was stationed as Provost-Guard at Martinsburg, Winchester and Strasburg; then crossed the Blue Ridge to Fredricksburg, where it was assigned to the Third Brigade under Gen. E. B. Tyler. Orders were soon received to countermarch for the relief of Gen. Banks in the Shenandoah Val- ley and for the protection of Washington then threatened by Stonewall Jackson.
In the battle of Port Republic, June 9, the regiment took an active and prominent part in defending a battery of seven guns. The enemy had possession of these guns at three different times, and as many times were compelled to abandon them by the regiment. After fight- ing for five hours against overwhelming num- bers, Gen. Tyler withdrew his command. The regiment lost on this occasion 196 of the 400 men engaged. In July, the Sixty-sixth with its brigade, joined Gen. Pope at Sperryville, and was assigned to the Second Division of the Twelfth Corps.
. The Second Division, under command of Gen. Banks, opened the Battle at Cedar Mount- ain, and in the desperate struggle which ensued the regiment lost eighty-seven killed and wounded of the 200 men in arms. Its batile flag had one shell and nineteen bullet holes made through it, and one Sergeant and five Corporals were shot down in succession while carrying it. The regiment was again actively engaged at Antietam on the 17th and and 18th of September. On the 27th of De- cember, 1862, Gen. Stewart with 2,000 rebe cavalry made an attack on Dumfries, a small town garrisoned by the Fifty-seventh and Sixty-sixth Ohio Regiments, about 700 troops in all. After fighting fiercely for several hours, the enemy was forced to retreat.
In the engagement at Chancellorsville, the regiment held a position in front of Gen. Hooker's headquarters, and again its bravery was exemplified. After participating in the battle of Gettysburg, the Sixty-sixth pursued Lee to the Rappahannock ; and in August, 1863, proceeded to New York to enforce the draft. In September, it was transferred to the
Army of the Cumberland near Chattanooga, and in November took part in the battles of Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge and Ring- gold. On the 15th of December, the regiment re-enlisted, and at the end of veteran furlough returned to Bridgeport, Ala., where it lay in camp about three months. In May, 1864, it moved with the First Brigade, Second Division, Twentieth Corps, on the Atlanta campaign. At Rocky Face Ridge, the Twentieth Corps was repulsed with greit loss. At Resaca, the Sixty-sixth was actively engaged, but with slight loss. On the 25th, it took part in th- engagement near Pumpkin Vine Creek, and for eight days kept up a continuous musketry with the enemy. On the 15th of June, the regiment led the advance on Pine Mountain. and in the battles of Kenesaw, Marietta and Peach Tree Creek fought with conspicuous gal- lantry. After the capture of Atlanta, the Sixty-sixth remained on duty in that city until Sherman started'on his "march to the sea." From Savannah it moved north ward through the Carolinas and on to Washington, passing over the old battle-field of Chancellor- ville, thus making the entire circuit of the Southern States.
The regiment was finally mustered out at Columbus, Ohio, July 19, 1865, after serving in twelve States, marching over 11,000 miles, and participating in nineteen battles, with a loss of 112 killed, and about 350 wounded.
Company F, of the Sixty-sixth Ohio, was recruited in Union County, and was mustered into the service under the following commis- sioned officers: John Cassil, Captain, L. W. Smith, First Lieutenant and O. J. Carter, Sec- ond Lieutenant. Captain Cassil resigned in June, 1862, and was succeeded by L. W. Smith.
John N. Rathburn, a Sergeant of this com- pany, was promoted Captain of Company C, and W. A. Cavis to First Lieutenant of Company E.
Company F 'suffered most severely in the battle of Port Republic, having nine killed. twelve wounded and four taken prisoners, and during its term of service, forty-one died on the field and in the hospitals, thirty-four were wounded, and eight taken prisoners.
Union County was also represented in Com- panies A, B, C, D, E, I and K of this regiment.

The Seventy-sixth Ohio Infantry was re- cruited during the fall of 1861, by Col. C. R.
Woods. The organization was completed and mustered into the service on the 9th of Feb- ruary, 1862, with 962 officers and men. The regiment immediately entered the field in Kentucky, and took part in the engagement at Fort Donelson. It then moved to Pittsburg Landing, and was exposed to the enemy's fire during the whole of the second day's battle at that place. It moved with the army under Halleck upon Corinth, and after the evacuation marched to Memphis. In July it proceeded to Helena, Ark., and in August joined the movement upon Miliken's Bend and Haines' Bluffs, surprising the Thirty-first Louisiana Regiment and capturing all its camp and gar- rison equipage, and many prisoners.
Four siege guns, two field pieces, and a large quantity of fixed ammunition also fell into the hands of the forces during this expe- dition.
In October, the Seventy-sixth went to Mis- souri, and in December formed a part of Sher- man's expedition against Vicksburg; then proceeded up the river to Arkansas Post, and on the 11th of January, 1863, assisted in the capture of that fort, losing seventy men.
The regiment operated under Gen. Grant in the siege of Vicksburg, and after the surren- der marched in pursuit of Johnston to Jack- son, and on the 23d of September embarked at Vicksburg for Memphis. During the months of October and November, the Seventy- sixth served in Northern Alabama and Ten- nessee; then joined Gen. Hooker at Chatta- nooga, and participated in the assaults upon Lookout Mountain, Misson Ridge and Ring- gold. About two thirds of the regiment re eulisted on the 4th of January, 1864, and after the veteran furlough, joined Sherman's Atlanta campaign and took part in the battles of Snake Creek Gap, Resaca, Dallas, New Ilope Church, Kenesaw Mountain, Atlanta and Jonesboro.
After the fall of Atlanta, the Seventy-sixth moved to South Carolina and engaged in the " Campaign of the Carolinas." In February, 1865, it operated around Columbia until the evacuation of that city, then moved to Ben- tonville and took part in the last battle of the war at that place.
It marched to Raleigh, where it remained until Johnston's surrender ; proceeded to Washington and took part in the grand review before the President, then moved to Louisville, Ky., and was mustered out of the service, after which it went to Columbus, Ohio, where it was discharged on the 24th day of July, 1865.
The Seventy-sixth Regiment had over 1,500 men in its organization, and mustered out only about 400. It was engaged in forty-seven battles and skirmishes ; lost 350 officers and men on the field and in the hospitals, and had 341 wounded in battle.
