MILITARY RECORD.
EIGHTY-SECOND OHIO INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized December 31, 1861, under Col. James Cantwell, and, in January, 1862, moved into West Virginia and encamped near the village of Fetterman. Here it spent several weeks engaged in drill- ing, disciplining and active preparations for the field. On the 16th of March, the Eighty- second was assigned to Gen. Schenck's com- mand, and, after exploring the Lost River region in search of Harness, the noted guer- rilla, moved to the relief of Gen. Milroy, then threatened by Stonewall Jackson at McDowell, and participated in the assault on Bull Pasture Mountain and the retreat to Franklin.
On the 25th of May, Schenck's brigade left Franklin with the army under Fremont, fol- lowing the rebels through Strasburg on to Cross Keys, and was present at the battle at that place on the 8th of June, though not actively engaged. It followed Jackson to the Shenandoah, then returned through New Market, Mount Jackson and Strasburg to Middletown, where Gen. Sigel took command of the army. In the organization of the Army of Virginia under Gen. Pope, the Eighty-second was assigned to an independent brigade under Milroy, of the First Corps, Sigel's command.
In August, it was again engaged with Jack- son at Cedar Mountain. A few days later. the two armies met on the opposite banks of the Rappahannock River, and for more than a week kept up an incessant skirmishing, the enemy making many attempts to gain Water- loo Bridge, which was defended by Milroy's brigade. When orders were received for the destruction of the bridge, the work was in- trusted to the Eighty-second. Then followed the second Bull Run battle, in which the regi- ment fought with conspicuous gallantry, losing heavily. In this engagement Col. Cantwell was killed, and Col. James S. Robinson as- sumed command. On the 3d of September, the First Corps proceeded to Fairfax C. H. and the Eighty-second was attached to Gen. Sigel's headquarters. While here, Sigel's Corps was denominated the Eleventh and assigned to the Army of the Potomac. It participated in the advance on Fredericksburg, and in December went into winter quarters at Stafford C. H. Gen. Howard succeeded Gen. Sigel in command of the Eleventh Corps; and the Eighty-second having been relieved from duty at headquarters reported to Gen. Schurz, its division commander, and by him was desig- nated as a battalion of sharp-shooters for the division, subject to his personal direction. In the movement upon Chancellorsville on the 2d of May, the Eighty-second performed good service ; and from this time until the 7th was engaged in the trenches or on the picket line. When the army fall back, the regiment re- turned to Stafford and remained quietly in its old camp until the 10th of June. Then, hav- ing been assigned to the Second Brigade of the Third Division it moved on the Gettysburg
campaign, and so severe was its loss in this sanguinary battle that only ninety-two of the 258 men who went into the action remained to guard its colors.
The Eleventh Corps followed in pursuit of the retreating enemy as far as Warrenton Junction. At Hagerstown, the Eighty-second had been assigned to the First Brigade of the Third Division, and when the Third Division was ordered to guard the Orange & Alexan- dria Railroad, it was placed at Catlett's Sta- tion, where it performed guard and patrol duty until September. On the 25th, the regi- ment, with the Eleventh Corps, was trans- ferred to the Army of the Cumberland, and participated in the battle of Wauhatchie October 28, and in the assaults upon Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge. It followed in pursuit of Bragg, then marched to the relief of Knoxville, but when within a few miles of that city information was received that the siege had been raised and the troops returned to their old encampment in Lookout Valley. On January 1, 1864, the Eighty-second re- enlisted for another three years' service ; on the 10th, started to Ohio on veteran furlough : on the 23d of February, re-assembled at Columbus, Ohio, with 200 recruits, and, on the 3d of March, joined its brigade at Bridge- port, Ala. Here the Eleventh and 'Twelfth Corps were consolidated, forming the Twell- tieth, and the Eighty-second was assigned to the Third Brigade, First Division of this corps. On the 30th of April, marching orders were received and the regiment entered upon the Atlanta campaign, moving toward Resaca. On the 14th of May, it assisted the Fourth Corps in repulsing an attack by the rebels on the Dalton road, and in the engage- ment of the next day held an important posi- tion with but slight loss, being protected by breastworks. On the 19th, the enemy was found in position near Cassville, but withdrew without a battle. At Dallas the regiment took an active part, holding the center of the line. The entire brigade was exposed to a heavy fire, by sunset, almost every cartridge was gone, and it was only by searching the cartridge- boxes of the dead and wounded that a strag- gling fire was kept up until night, when the brigade was relieved. On the 28th, it escorted a supply train for ammunition to Kingston and back, and on the 6th of June went into position near l'ine Knob, where it remained until the 15th. It was not actively engaged at Kenesaw except in skirmishing. On the 20th of July, it crossed Peach Tree Creek and found the rebels in the woods about four miles from Atlanta. The regiment lost in this affair seventy-five killed and wounded. Dur- ing the siege of Atlanta, the Eighty-second occupied an important but exposed position. On one occasion the regimental colors were carried away and torn to shreds by a cannon ball. On the 20th of August, it was removed to a position on the Chattahoochie, and Gen. Slocum assumed command of the corps. On

the 2u of September, the national forces took possession of Atlanta, and the regiment went into camp in the suburbs. On the 15th of November, it moved with Sherman's army 10 the sea-a detachment taking part in the encounter with Wheeler's cavalry at Buffalo Creek. From Savannah it marched through the Carolinas. At Lancaster, on the 27th of February, 1865, some foragers from the Eighty-second captured a beautiful silk ban- ner. The regiment took a prominent part in the engagement at Averysboro, losing Iwo officers and eight men wounded, and was again actively engaged in the last battle of the war at Bentonville, in which it lost two officers and nine men wounded and fourteen men missing. From Bentonville it moved to Golds- boro, and on the 9th of April was consolidated with the Sixty-first Ohio, the new organiza- tion being denominated the Eighty-second. After the surrender of Johnston at Raleigh, the regiment marched to Washington, and having participated in the grand review on the 24th of May, went into camp near Fort Lincoln.
On the 15th of June, it moved to Louisville, Ky., where it remained nutil the 25th of July, then proceeding to Columbus, Ohio, it was discharged July 29, 1865
Company H, of the Eighty-second Infantry, was recruited mostly in Union County, and was mustered into the service with the follow- ing commissioned officers : Nicholas Jerola- man, Captain ; W. D. W. Mitchell, First Lien- tenant, and L. B. Lippin, Second Lientenant. Capt. Jerolaman resigned July 7, 1862, and Lient. W. D. Mitchell was promoted to Captain of the company. Capt.

This regiment was organized on the 22d of September, 1862, under Col. F. W. Moore, and was assigned to the First Brigade, Tenth Di- vision, Army of the Tennessee. It was en- gaged in the battles at Chickasaw Bayou, Ark- ansas Bayou, Arkansas Post and Vicksburg.
On the 13th of March, 1864, the Fighty- third started on the Red River expedition, and on the 8th of April encountered the enemy near Pleasant Hills.
In November, this regiment was consolidated with the Forty-eighth Ohio, and in March, 1865, started on the campaign against Mobile. At. Fort Blakely, it took an active and promi- nent part, capturing two forts, eight cannon, two mortars, a long line of breastworks, eight hundred prisoners, two flags, and a large quan- tity of small arms, ammunition, and other stores. It lost thirty-six officers and men killed and wounded. From Mobile, the regi- ment moved to Galveston, where it remained performing guard duty until July 21, when it

EIGHTY-FIFTH OHIO INFANTRY.
The Eighty-fifth Ohio consisted of four com- panies (a battalion), recruited in the summer of 1862. It never reached the regimental point. Occasionally a company would be attached to some other organization and sent to the field, but the most of the time was spent at Camp Chase, guarding the large number of prisoners in confinement there.

EIGHTY-SIXTH OHIO INFANTRY.
Three Months Organization.
On the 26th of May, 1862, Gov. Tod called upon the military committee of Union County for one hundred men, and on the 3d of June a company of eighty-eight left Marysville for Columbus. The men were all recruited in this county and entered the service for three months.
At Columbus the company was assigned to the Eighty-sixth Regiment and mustered into service with the following commissioned offi- cers: William H. Robb, Captain; G. L. Sellers, First Lieutenant, and Charles Cavis, Second Lieutenant.
There were two organizations of the Eighty- sixth; the first was recruited in response to a call from the President for 75,000 men in May, 1862, to serve for three months for the protec- tion of the Northern States, then threatened by by the Rebel General, Stonewall Jackson. It was organized on the 11th of June, under Col. B. Burns, and left Ohio for Clarksburg, W. Va., on the 17th, where it was stationed to guard the railroad and protect Grafton. the base of supplies for the troops at Weston, Buckhannon and Beverly. On the 27th of July, companies A, C, HI and I moved to Parkersburg in expection of a raid upon that place, but were recalled to Clarksburg on the 21st of August to prevent a rebel force under Jenkins from crossing Cheat Mountain. Jen- kins succeeded in crossing the mountains at another point, and, after capturing Buck- hannon and Weston, and destroying large quantities of Government stores, returned to the mountains of West Virginia. The term of service having expired, the Eighty-sixth was ordered to Camp Delaware, Ohio, where it was mustered out September 25, 1862.
