CONCLUSION.
The foregoing pages contain the very words by which, the General under whose immediate command, the One Hundred and Twenty Second (122nd) Regiment of Ohio Volunteers served, from November 23rd, 1862, until June 26th, 1865, told that said Regiment well deserved the reputation of "A good fighting Regiment" accorded to it by the other Union troops with which it served, although like every other, it was not able to win victory in every confliet, it promptly recovered from each of its few defeats, and materially aided in gaining that final success which made our country safe and progressive in the right.
