THE STORY OF THE
&
CHAPTER X.
CLOSING EXPERIENCES.
WE left the Twelfth Ohio at the end of its last long raid, resting at the little post of Bridgeport, Alabama. Here it remained a week, then, embarking by rail on the Ist of June, it passed through Chattanooga, and on the afternoon of the 2d reached Lenoir's station, a pleasant spot in a wide, fertile valley, 27 miles southwest of Knoxville. The place had been a famous farming district before the war, but its fences had been destroyed by Longstreet in his advance on Knoxville in 1863, and its owners, driven away by the events of the war, had abandoned their. rich fields to neglect. June had covered the broad valley with a rank growth of clover, and in this the horses of the Twelfth Ohio found a solace for the famine they had so long suffered. The regiment encamped in a thick wood near by. and was soon after joined by the Tenth and Eleventh Michigan, and most of the other cavalry of the department. Here Gen. A. C. Gillem took command and remained until about the middle of July, when he was assigned to the command of the Depart- ment of Georgia and East Tennessee, with headquarters at Chattanooga. He was succeeded at Lenoir by Gen. Emory Upton, a gallant and accomplished officer, who had just previ- ous to that time been in command of a Cavalry Brigade under Wilson, in Southern Georgia. During the month at Lenoir, the regiment sent Colonel Ratliff and Major Moderwell as its · delegates to the Ohio State Convention, with instructions to support the nomination of Gen. J. D. Cox. for Governor.
Soon after taking command, Gen. Upton moved his Division forty miles down the railroad to Sweetwater, where the pasture

were again fresh and water more abundant. Here another idle, irksome month was spent, the only work accomplished being a series of examinations, in which all line officers in the various regiments were put through a rigid course of questions upon tactics, drill, sabre exercise, and general military science. In this examination the effects of the thorough schooling which the officers of the Twelfth had undergone at Camp Chase, John- son's Island and Camp Dennison, came out quite conspicuously and they had no trouble in carrying off the honors of the class.
Life at Sweetwater soon became tiresome and dull. Sick- ness in various forms broke out and deaths became frequent. Among those who died during the month were Lieut. R. J. Stewart of Squadron "C" and Captain O. J. Jackson of Squad- ron "K," two gallant and faithful officers who had served throughout the entire career of the regiment with conspicuous zeal and fidelity, only to fall victims to disease after the last shot of the rebellion had been fired. Such other officers as were detached gladly accepted the chance to escape the tedium of idle life at Sweetwater. Col. Ratliff had returned to com- mand the regiment. Lieut. Col. Bentley and Major Collier resigned their commissions and returned to Ohio, and Major Herrick, who had been serving on the Board of Examination already alluded to, was promoted to the Lieut. Colonelcy, while Captains Hunter and Saunders were promoted to Majors. At the same date, or immediately afterward, Lieutenants John G. Rolli, of Squadron " B," M. E. Douglas, of " G," Jacob Snyder, of "C," J. W. Armstrong, of " D," James J. Defigh, of " L," O. J. Jackson, of "K," R. B. Smith, of " A," A. H. Thomsen, of " E," James A. Thompson, of "F," and Adjutant Wm. C. Heddleson, were promoted to well deserved Captain- cies. All these Lieutenants had commanded their squadrons during periods varying from a few weeks to a year or more, and had one and all acquitted themselves throughout the cam- ' paigns of the regiment with uniform zeal, bravery and ability. Other officers, including Lieut. H. C. Jones of Company "B," were on duty at Knoxville, and Captain Mason of Squadron "L" spent the summer and autumn at Chattanooga, as Judge
118
THE STORY OF THE
Advocate of Gillem's Department. Thus the time wore on until the middle of September, when the Twelfth Ohio was finally transferred from East Tennessee, and ordered to report to Gen. Richard W. Johnson at Murfreesboro. The regiment marched across the mountains and reached Murfreesboro about the twentieth of the month. Here it remained a few days, during which time Major Herrick (soon after mustered as Lieu- tenant Colonel) was appointed Inspector General of the District of Middle Tennessee, on the staff of Gen. Johnson.
The regiment was then divided, the first and second Bat- talions under Col. Ratliff, being sent to Pulaski to hold in check the guerillas of that region and maintain civil order, and the third Battalion under Major Moderwell, was sent with a similar purpose to Gallatin, an important point on the Louisville rail- road, some thirty miles from Nashville. Thus disposed, the regiment passed another uneventful month, from which it was relieved late in October by the long expected order to repair to Nashville to be mustered out of the service. Within three days all that remained of the Twelfth Ohio had gathered at the barracks north of the river, where its horses, saddles and camp equipage were turned over to the Government. From here the men, foot soldiers once more, marched over to the infantry bar- racks near Fort Negley, where they were all mustured out of the army on the 14th of November. From Nashville the regi- ment came by rail to Louisville, thence to Cincinnati by steamer, and on the night of the 20th of November, in the midst of a - furious storm of snow, reached the dreary, comfortless, but , welcome. barracks of Camp Chase. This was our last camp. Two days and nights of eager work finished the final pay rolls, and on the 24th the last man had received his honorable dis- charge from the army, and all the reward for his services that the country could pay in money. That higher and more precious debt which the Twelfth Ohio, in common with the thousand other regiments of the Union army, hold against the people of the country they had saved, was left as a heritage for those by whom this little record may be treasured, when those whose deeds it describes shall have passed away.

119
TWELFTH OHIQ CAVALRY.
Of the 1462 men who had belonged to the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry, 628 remained to be mustered out at Nashville. Like all other cavalry regiments in our army, its casulties in battle had been light compared with the service it had performed. The province of the mounted troops from 1863 to the close of the war was hard work, long, tiresome marches, absolute expo- sure to all possible inclemencies of the weather, and sudden, dashing attacks upon the enemy-attacks requiring the highest courage, coolness and skill, but too brief and impetuous to involve those heavy losses of life which attend the more delib- erate, sustained assaults of infantry.
It has never been claimed for the Twelfth Onio that it was in any way a remarkable regiment. Its members had a strong pride in its drill and discipline, for where is the good soldier who does not believe his own company or regiment the best in the army? Inspired by this feeling and by its sense of duty, the Twelfth achieved a record surpassed by none of the splen- did organizations with which it was associated, and brought back unstained its tattered battle-flags to hang in an honored place among the scarred and eloquent banners which Ohio and the Nation will reverently cherish forever.

THE praises of the Generals under whom a regiment has served, are as justly a part of its trophies as are the battle flags which it has captured. It was the good fortune of the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry to be regarded with especial favor by Generals Hobson, Burbridge and Stoneman, and a brief word from each of these men may not inappropriately be embodied in this vol- ume. From the many favorable notices given by all the Gene- rals under whom the regiment served, we extract the following :
PRESCOTT, A. T., Dec. 10th, 1870,
COL. R. W, RATLIFF, Twelfth Reg't. Ohio Cavalry-Dear Sir:
*
* * * * *
* *
*
* *
" I regret that I did not receive yours in time to enable me to furnish the letter asked for to be published with the history of your regiment.
I should have been most happy to have added my testi- mony to that you already possess, to the effect that the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry was by me always considered one of my best regiments.
* *
* * * *
The regiment distinguished itself on several occasions I recollect. But regretting that I have not the data by me to enable me to specify the particular times and places, I am, with high regard for yourself and the officers and men ot the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry,
Very Truly and Respectfully, (signed) GEO. STONEMAN, Late Maj. Gen. Vols.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11th, 1870.
COL. R. W. RATLIFF-Dear Sir:
* * * *
* *
" I had no better regiment under me, and at Mt. Sterling, Cynthiana, Kingsport, Marion, Wytheville and Saltville, the regiment and officers distinguished themselves.
I remember with pride and pleasure Col. Bentley's charge at Mt- Sterling ; also Major Herrick's gallant charge at Marion, and Lieut. Holt's brilliant charge at Abingdon, and indeed, the soldierly services of the whole regiment in all the raids on Saltville, during much of the time enduring hardships unsur- passed by "Valley Forge," or any campaign of the war.
I cannot speak too highly of the officers and regiment, of Col. Ratliff as a regimental and brigade commander and admin- istrative officer, and the efficiency of both officers and regiment during the whole of my trying administration.
Very Truly Yours, (signed) S. G. BURBRIDGE, 2
Late Maj. Gen. Vols.
GREENSBURG, KY., Oct. 12, 1870.
COL. R. W. RATLIFF-Dear Col .:
* * *
* *
*
* *
" I often think of the services of the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry while under my command. The courteous bearing of its officers and men, their gallant and soldierly conduct on every field, their promptness and obedience in complying with every order, will not soon be forgotten.
I had the pleasure of witnessing the bravery of your com- mand at Saltville, West Va.
* *
*
The valuable services rendered by your regiment in cover- ing and protecting the rear (on our retreat) fully established you in my estimation as worthy patriots and soldiers.
I will not soon forget the events of the ever memorable Saltville expedition, and the support that the officers and men
.

APPENDIX.
ot your regiment gave me in extricating and saving the entire command from destruction and annihilation. Saltville, Laurel Gap, Richland Valley, Sandy Mountain, and Clinch Mountain, and the incidents that occurred in and around these places, and the gallant conduct of the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry, are deeply and indellibly impressed upon my memory. Nor have I forgotten how the men and officers, without a murmur, bore their many hardships and privations, from the commencement to the close of this expedition-often being under the necessity of subsisting on pawpaws, persimmons and wild grapes. Allow me, in con- clusion, to assure you that for the many acts of kindness ren- dered, and for the able support that your regiment gave me in the discharge of my responsible duties during the late rebellion, the officers and men of the Twelfth Ohio Cavalry are entitled to, and will always have, my highest esteem.
I am, Col., Very Truly, . Your obedient servant,
(signed) E. H. HOBSON, . Late Brig. Gen. .

[THE following pages contain a complete Roster of all the officers and men who ever belonged to the regiment. It is com- piled from the Regimental Descriptive Book and the Muster- out-Rolls of the regiment-the latter being strictly followed whenever a discrepancy existed between the two. Free access has been had to all the records at Columbus through the cour- . tesy of W. A. KNAPP, Adjutant General of Ohio, to whom many thanks are justly due. Everything of interest, that could be gleaned from these authorities, has been placed in the Roster, making it perhaps the most complete regimental record yet published.]
