The regiment left Camp Bartley for Camp Dennison September 26, 1861, and after a few days detention at the latter place, in obtaining arms, equip- ments, etc., it proceeded to Lexington, Ky. A few days later it was trans- ported by rail to Louisville, and from there to Nolins Station, where it was assigned to the Sixth Brigade (Gen. R. W. Johnson), Second Division (Gen. A. McD. McCook), of the Army of the Ohio, then commanded by Gen. Willian T. Sherman, subsequently by Gen. Buell. It thereafter par- ticipated in the movements of Buell's army, without sustaining any losses worthy of mention until in the second day's battle at Pittsburg Landing, where it lost six men killed and sixty-two wounded. With its division the regiment remained in the vicinity of Corinth, Miss., until the middle of June, when it marched away with Buell's army, and after moving from point to point in the States of Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky, arrived at Nashville, Tenn., November 7, 1862, as part of Gen. Rosecrans' command, the latter having succeeded Gen. Buell on the march from Louisville to Nashville.
In the battle of Stone River the regiment was heavily engaged, losing eighteen killed, and eighty-niue wounded. Subsequently it took part in the advance movements which resulted in the occupation of Chattanooga. After crossing the Tennessee River the regiment remained on the extreme right flank of the army until the morning of the 19th of September, 1863, when it marched for the battle-field of Chickamauga, a distance of thirteen miles, and was engaged soon after its arrival. In that battle the regiment. lost one officer and nine men killed, two officers and sixty-nine men wounded and forty men missing. The regiment bore its share in the arduous labors and privations of the siege of Chattanooga, and on the 25th of November participated in the brilliant assault of Mission Ridge, capturing a num- ber of prisoners and some artillery. On the 28th of November the regi- ment, then belonging to the First Brigade, Third Division, Fourth Army Corps, marched with the corps to the relief of Burnside's troops at Knox- ville, Tenn., arriving on the 8th of December.
On the 14th of January, 1864, the greater portion of the regiment having re-enlisted for another term of three years, it started for Columbus, Ohio, via Chattanooga, for veteran furlough. It arrived at Columbus with 350 veterans on the 10th of February, and on the 14th of March its members re-assembled at Camp Chase to return to the field, numbering, with recruits, more than 900 men. On returning to the

front the train conveying the regiment was thrown from the track near Charleston, Tenn., by which accident twenty men were more or less injured. In the Atlanta campaign, which began the first week in May and terminated September 1, the Fifteenth Regiment, as part of the Fourth Army Corps, was an active participant. At Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Chattahoochie River and Atlanta the regiment won imperishable honors.
When Hood's rebel army began its march northward, the regiment formed a portion of the army under Gen. Thomas, which was sent to thwart the plans of the enemy. It did not participate in the battle at Franklin, Tenn., but at Nashville the gallantry of its members was conspicuous. The pursuit of Hood's defeated army was continued into Northern Alabama, where the regiment remained until the middle of March, 1865, when it was ordered to move into East Tennessee. After performing the duties assigned it in that region, the regiment was ordered to Nashville, and reached the last-named point about the 1st of May. On the 16th of June it was ordered to proceed to Texas.
With a good degree of cheerfulness the men turned their backs once more upon their homes, went to Johnstonville and thence by boats to New Orleans. Moving down a short distance below the city they bivouacked on the old Jackson battle grounds until July 5, when they embarked for Texas. The regiment arrived at Indianola July 9, disembarked, and in order to obtain a sufficient supply of water marched the same night to Green Lake, a distance of about twenty miles. Remaining there just one month, on the 10th of August it marched for San Antonio, a distance of 150 miles. The scarcity of water, the extreme heat, the want of suitable rations, to- gether with inadequate transportation, all combined, made this one of the most severe marches the regiment ever endured. It reached the Salado, a small stream near San Antonio, on the 21st of August, and remained at that point until October 20, when it was designated to perform post duty in the city, and continued to act in that capacity until November 21, when it was mustered out of service and ordered to Columbus, Ohio, for final dis- charge. The regiment left San Antonio on the 24th of November, and marched to Indianola, proceeding thence by way of New Orleans and Cairo, to Columbus, Ohio, where it arrived December 25, and was finally discharged from the United States service December 27, 1865. Thus, as a regiment, the Fifteenth had been in service about four years and eight months. It was among the first to be mustered in and one of the last to be mustered out.

FORTY-NINTH OHIO INFANTRY.
The Forty-ninth Ohio Infantry was recruited in the counties of Craw- ford, Hancock, Seneca, Sandusky and Wyandot during the summer of 1861. The latter county was represented in all of its companies, but more largely in Company D than any other. The regimental rendezvous was estab- lished at Camp Noble, near Tiffin, Ohio, where an organization was com- pleted on the 5th of September. Five days later, the regiment left its ren- dezvous and arrived at Camp Dennison, Cincinnati, on the 11th of that month, where it received arms and equipments. On the 20th of September, it em- barked on the cars for Western Virginia. After waiting an hour or so, this order was countermanded, and the regiment directed to report to Gen. Robert Anderson, at Louisville, Ky., where it arrived on the 21st of Sep- tember, thus gaining the proud distinction of being the first Union Regi- ment to occupy Kentucky soil, other than Gen. Rousseau's small command of loyal Kentuckians, which organized on the Indiana side of the river, at the falls of the Ohio, had marched though Louisville three days before, and taken position at Muldraugh's Hill, thus foiling the rebel Buckner in his plan to seize and occupy Louisville.
The reception of the Forty-ninth in Louisville was cordial in the ex- treme. It was not known outside of military headquarters that the regi- ment was on its way from Ohio. Hence, as the two boats transporting the command, lashed together, neared the wharf (the regimental band perform- ing national airs) and as the regiment landed, the people of the city- wrought up to a high state of excitement by the stirring events of the two or three days immediately preceding-received it with enthusiasmn, formed in its rear and marched with it through the principal streets to the head- quarters of Gen. Anderson. The hero of Sumter appeared on the balcony of the hotel and welcomed the regiment in a short address, to which Col.
Gibson responded in his happiest vein. These ceremonies over, the people of Louisville turned out en masse, improvised a magnificent dinner at the Louisville Hotel, and the men of the regiment had a hilarious time, while the officers dined with Gen. Anderson. In the evening the regiment pro- ceeded by rail to Shepardsville, and thence to the Rolling Fork, where it joined Gen. William T. Sherman's command-the "Louisville Legion," and detachments of other troops under the command of the chivalrous Col. Lov- ell H. Rousseau. The next morning (September 23), in company with Rousseau, the regiment moved forward, wading the Rolling Fork waist- deep, drove a small body of rebel troops from Elizabethtown, and then, supperless, bivouacked for the night. On the 11th of October, it moved to Nolin Creek, and established Camp Nevin, and in December following was

here assigned to the Sixth Brigade (composed of the Fifteenth Ohio, Col. Moses R. Dickey; Forty-ninth Ohio, Col. William H. Gibson; Thirty-second Indiana, Col. August Willich; and Thirty-ninth Indiana, Col. Thomas J. Harrison) in command of Gen. Richard W. Johnson; Second Division, Gen. A. McD. McCook in command, Army of the Ohio.
On the 14th of February, 1862, the regiment, with its brigade and di. vision, advanced toward Bowling Green. After some delay in crossing the river, it marched in the direction of Nashville, reaching that city on the 3d of March. On the 16th of the same month, it marched with Buell's army to join Grant's forces at Pittsburg Landing, arriving there in the evening of the first day's battle-April 6. It participated in the engagement of the 7th of April, and contributed its full share of work in driving the enemy from the field. Thereafter, as part of Buell's army, the Forty-ninth en- gaged in all the battles, marches, reverses, etc., which characterized Buell's command during the spring, summer and early autumn of 1862. Subse- quently it fought with Rosecrans at Stone River, Liberty Gap and Chicka- mauga; under Thomas at Missouri Ridge, and with Sherman during the Atlanta campaign.
When Gen. Rosecrans, then in command of the Army of the Cumber- land, commenced his movement on Murfreesboro on the 26th of December, 1862, the Forty-ninth moved out of Nashville on the Nolinsville Turnpike with the right wing under Gen. McCook, and after constant skirmishing found itself in line of battle on the extreme right of the Union army before Murfreesboro on the evening of the 30th. At 6 o'clock the next morning, Kirk's brigade, to the left and front, was furiously assailed, and, giving way, was thrown back on the Forty ninth, which at once became engaged, and was borne back by overwhelming numbers a mile and a half to the Nashville Turnpike, which it reached after an incessant conflict of nine hours. On the following morning, the regiment was sent to reconnoiter on the right and rear of the main army. Rejoining its brigade, it operated during the remainder of the day on the extreme right of the army, in con- nection with Stanley's cavalry. On Friday, January 2, 1863, it was held in reserve until late in the afternoon, when, upon the repulse of Van Cleve's division on the left, it was ordered, with its brigade, to retrieve the fortunes of the day in that part of the field. It joined in a magnificent bayonet charge, which resulted in recovering the lost ground and a severe defeat to the enemy.
At Chickamauga, the Forty-ninth held a position in the morning of the first day, on the extreme right of the Union forces, forming part of Gen. Richard W. Johnson's division. Before being engaged, however, the divi- sion was shifted to the extreme left of the army and joined Thomas' corps. At 2 o'clock P. M., the regiment became engaged with the enemy's right, posted in a dense woods. A charge was made, the enemy driven, and two guns captured by the Forty-ninth. This charge occurred between 3 and 4 o'clock P. M. At dusk, the enemy having been re-enforced, made a charge. The enemy gained a point directly in front of the brigade, delivered a withering volley, and with their accustomed yell rushed forward with the bayonet. Although on the alert, the Union forces were staggered and gave some ground. They quickly rallied, however, and repulsed the rebels. During the second day at Chickamauga the regiment was constantly engaged in various parts of the field, and with the Fifteenth Ohio and Goodspeed's battery, accomplished a brilliant exploit. The enemy had broken through the Union left and were exultingly charging for the center, when the Forty-
450

ninth faced to the rear and poured into the enemy a withering fire. From the other side of the circle, Goodspeed's battery and the Fifteenth Ohio poured a destructive, unceasing fire, and the rebels were checked and sent back flying to their main body. The brigade of which the Fifteenth and Forty-ninth Ohio formed part, was the last to leave the field of Chicka- mauga. It halted at Rossville one day, and the following night retired to Chattanooga.
By the consolidation of the orginal Twentieth and Twenty-first Army Corps in October, 1863, into the organization known during the remainder of the war as the Fourth Army Corps, the brigade* of which the Forty- ninth Ohio formed part, was transferred to the Third Division of the Fourth Corps. As part of the last mentioned command, the regiment fought on many other fields and always maintained the high reputation its gallant members had attained from the beginning of their service. At Mission Ridge, it was one of the first to plant its colors on the summit of that mountain. Immediately after this success, the regiment moved with Granger's corps to the relief of Burnside's forces at Knoxville. This campaign was one of the most severe that the regiment had ever been called upon to endure. The weather was intensely cold, with snow on the ground, the men almost naked and without shoes, and the rations exhausted. The march of the relieving army over the mountains of East Tennessee was literally marked by bloody foot-prints. Yet the soldiers of the West did not grumble, but were ever eager to be led against the foe. In the midst of this campaign the men of the Forty-ninth, in common with those of all other regiments, were called upon to re-enlist for another term of three years; a majority of them responded favorably to the summons, and at the conclusion of the march proceeded homeward on veteran furlough.
In the Atlanta campaign the regiment participated in the battles at Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Chattahoochie River, and the series of engagements around Atlanta. Also in the move- ments that resulted in the battles at Jonesboro and Lovejoy Station. When Sherman began his march to the sea, the regiment and corps went back with Gen. Thomas to attend to the rebel Hood in Tennessee. The subsequent movements of the regiment are told in the sketch relating to its companion regiment, the Fifteenth Ohio Infantry. It proceeded to Texas in June and landed at Victoria early in July, 1865. After remaining at San Antonio for some weeks, it returned to Victoria where it was mustered out of service on the 30th day of November, 1865.
The whole number of names borne upon the rolls of the regiment is fifteen hundred and fifty-two. Eight officers were killed in battle, and twenty wounded (six mortally). Of the enlisted men, one hundred and twenty-seven were killed in battle, seventy-one were mortally wounded, one hundred and sixty-five died from disease, seven others died in rebel prison pens, and six hundred and sixteen were discharged on account of wounds or disability.
