"DR. LAWRENCE WILSON, "Med. Div. Pension Office, "Washington, D. C. "DEAR SIR AND COMRADE: We the undersigned com rades of the Seventh Reg. Association, realizing your ability, and the fact that you have opportunity to obtain official information from the records now on file in Wash ington, as well as your personal knowledge and familiarity with all the engagements, marches, and experiences of the regiment, make this request, that you permit us to present your name at our reunion to be held in Cleveland, O., Sep tember 8, 1904, as the Regimental Historian, and pledge ourselves to furnish you with all the material in our power to help you give us as satisfactory an account of the ser vice of our regiment, as is possible. "WM. A. HOWE. "E. H. BOHM. "M. R. HUGHES. "J. B. MoivYNEAUX. "LEvi F. BAUDER. "J. G. CLAFIJN. "GEORGE A. MCKAY." Having been notified of my election as Historian the collection of data from every available source at once began. To assist in the preparation of this book a committee 14 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY consisting of Captains E. H. Bohm, George A. McKay, J. B. Molyneaux, and Levi F. Bauder was appointed by the Regimental Association in August, 1905, to which Captain W. A. Howe was added and then elected Treasurer. The first great shock and irreparable loss was expe rienced in the sudden and unexpected death of Captain Bohm, who had with his usual force and zeal taken hold of this project with a zest and will presaging certain success. His strength of character, physical and mental force, zeal and enthusiasm were sadly missed by his associates and his untimely death deeply mourned. With a view to creating a general interest in this work and of obtaining specific and general information from comrades generally, some hundreds of postal cards were prepared and sent out inviting written articles about the various marches and campaigns, as well as incidents, both humorous and pathetic, connected with our service, but I regret to say that these brought very few responses, as not many of our number now seem inclined to engage in such work. There were comrades, however, who appreciating the im portance of the occasion, gave cordial assistance and co operation from beginning to end, whose names a strong sense of appreciation and gratitude bids me mention. First upon this list is Capt. J. B. Molyneaux, who not only promptly volunteered to prepare the splendid Roster found upon these pages, but has also, during the more than two years devoted to this work, searched and found and copied invaluable data and information from the retained files of the Cleveland papers, and in addition thereto contracted for and carefully superintended the preparation and printing of all the portraits, cuts and maps for the entire regiment, and his efficiency in this line is clearly indicated by the character of the work so well illustrated herein. In fact, the days have neither been too long, nor the nights too tedious to deter him from doing something for the success of this cause — for all of which most cordial and grateful acknowl edgment is hereby made. INTRODUCTORY 1$ The next comrade in this class is Capt. George A. Mc Kay, who with his marked ability as a military critic and writer is peculiarly well qualified to write of the days when we marched and fought and successfully bore the Stars and Stripes through many States, as witness his highly interesting articles covering Pope's retreat from Culpeper, Second Bull Run, and Antietam, as well as the transfer of the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps from the Rapi- dan to Chattanooga, and the eminently successful battles of Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, and Ringgold, where this gallant officer was torn and mangled upon the field of battle and made a cripple for life. He also compiled many of the personal sketches of officers and men found herein, and has shown himself to be as efficient and helpful in time of peace, as he was faithful, brave and true in time of war. That the services of Capt. Levi F. Bauder as secretary, and of Capt. W. A. Howe as treasurer, have been cheer fully given and every duty well performed, goes without saying, yet are hereby noted and gratefully acknowledged. As a company, Company C has, under the thoughtful and skilful management of Capt. M. M. Andrews, given much literary and financial assistance, for all of which it is sin cerely hoped that they will find herein some measure of reward. Finally, to all who have contributed of their means or talent to the success of this undertaking, I beg to subscribe myself, most gratefully yours, LAWRENCE WILSON, Regimental Historian. CHAPTER I. THE OPENING GUN. The first hostile gun in the great war for the preserva tion of the Union was fired at the steamer Star of the West on the 9th day of January, 1861, while it was seeking to extend relief to the garrison at Fort Sumter, in Charleston Harbor, and the following correspondence indicates what occurred there later on : "HEADQUARTERS PROVISIONAL ARMY, C. S. A., "CHARLESTON, S. C., April n, 1861. "SiR: The Government of the Confederate States has hitherto forborne from any hostile demonstration against Fort Sumter, in the hope that the Government of the United States, with a view to the amicable adjustment of all questions between the two Governments, and to avert the calamities of war, would voluntarily evacuate it. There was reason at one time to believe that such would be the course pursued by the Government of the United States, and under that impression my Government has refrained from making any demand for the surrender of the fort. But the Confederate States can no longer delay assuming actual possession of a fortification commanding the entrance to one of their harbors and necessary to its defense and security. I am ordered by the Government of the Confed erate States to demand the evacuation of Fort Sumter. My aides, Colonel Chestnut and Captain Lee, are authorized to make such demand of you. All proper facilities will be afforded for the removal of yourself and command, to gether with the company arms and property, and all private property, to any post in the United States which you may select. The flag which you have upheld so long and with l8 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY so much fortitude, under the most trying circumstances, may be saluted by you on taking it down. Colonel Chest nut and Captain Lee will, for a reasonable time, await your answer. "I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, "G. T. BEAUREGARD, "Brigadier-General Commanding. "Major ROBERT ANDERSON, "Commanding at Fort Sumter, Charleston Harbor, S. C." "FoRT SUMTER, S. C., April n, 1861. "GENERA^: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication demanding the evacuation of this fort, and to say, in reply thereto, that it is a demand with which I regret that my sense of honor, and of my obliga tions to my Government, prevent my compliance. "Thanking you for the fair, manly, and courteous terms proposed, and for the high compliment paid me, "I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant, "ROBERT ANDERSON, "Major, First Artillery, Commanding. "Brig.-Gen. BEAUREGARD, "Commanding Provisional Army." "HEADQUARTERS PROVISIONAL ARMY, C. S. A., "CHARLESTON, S. C., April n, 1861. "MAJOR : In consequence of the verbal observations made by you to my aides, Messrs. Chestnut and Lee, in re lation to the condition of your supplies, and that you would in a few days be starved out if our guns did not batter you to pieces, or words to that effect, and desiring no useless ef fusion of blood, I communicated both the verbal observa tions, and your written answer to my communications, to my Government. If you will state the time at which you will evacuate Fort Sumter, and agree that in the meantime you will not use your guns against us unless ours shall be employed against Fort Sumter, we will abstain from open- THE OPENING GUN 19 ing fire upon you. Colonel Chestnut and Captain Lee are authorized by me to enter into such an agreement with you. You are, therefore, requested to communicate to them an open answer. "I remain, major, very respectfully, your obedient ser vant, "G. T. BEAUREGARD, "Brigadier-General, Commanding. "Major ROBERT ANDERSON, "Commanding Fort Sumter, Charleston Harbor, S. C." "FoRT SUMTER, S. C., April 12, 1861. "GENERAL : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt by Colonel Chestnut of your second communication of the nth instant, and to state in reply that, cordially uniting with you in the desire to avoid the useless effusion of blood, I will, if provided with the proper and necessary means of transportation, evacuate Fort Sumter by noon on the I5th instant, and that I will not in the mean time open my fires upon your forces unless compelled to do so by some hostile act against this fort or flag of my Government by the forces under your command, or by some portion of them, or by the perpetration of some act showing a hostile inten tion on your part against this fort or the flag it bears, should I not receive prior to that time controlling instruc tions from my Government or additional supplies. "I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant, "ROBERT ANDERSON, "Major, First Artillery, Commanding. "Brig.-Gen. BEAUREGARD, Commanding." "FoRT SUMTER, S. C., April 12, 1861. — 3.20 A. M. "SiR: By authority of Brigadier-General Beauregard, Commanding the Provisional Forces of the Confederate States, we have the honor to notify you that he will open the fire of his batteries on Fort Sumter in one hour from this time. 20 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY "We have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedi ent servants, "JAMES CHESTNUT, Jr., "Aide-de-Camp, "STEPHEN D. LEE, "Captain, C. S. Army, Aide-de-Camp. "Major ROBERT ANDERSON, "U. S. Army, Commanding Fort Sumter." General Beauregard said in his official report : "In consequence of some circumstance of delay the bom bardment was not begun precisely at the appointed moment, but at 4.30 o'clock the signal gun was fired and within twenty minutes all our batteries were in full play. There was no response from Fort Sumter until about 7 o'clock, when the first shot from the enemy was discharged against our batteries on Cummings Point. "By 8 o'clock the action became general, and throughout the day was maintained with spirit on both sides. Our guns were served with skill and energy. The effect was visible in the impressions made on the walls of Fort Sumter. From our mortar batteries shells were thrown with such precision and rapidity that it soon became impossible for the enemy to employ his guns en barbette, of which several were dismounted. The engagement was continued without any circumstance of special note until nightfall, before which time the fire from Sumter had evidently slackened. Operations on our side were sustained throughout the night, provoking, however, only feeble response. "On the morning of the I3th the action was prosecuted with renewed vigor, and about 7^ o'clock it was discovered our shells had set fire to the barracks in the fort. Speedily volumes of smoke indicated an extensive conflagration, and apprehending some terrible calamity to the garrison I immediately dispatched an offer of assistance to Major An derson, which, however, with grateful acknowledgments, THE; OPENING GUN 21 he declined. Meanwhile, being informed about 2 o'clock that a white flag was displayed from Sumter, I dispatched two of my aides to Major Anderson with terms of evacua tion. In recognition of the gallantry exhibited by the gar rison I cheerfully agreed that on surrendering the fort the commanding officer might salute his flag. By 8 o'clock the terms of evacuation were definitely ac cepted. Major Anderson having expressed a desire to com municate with the United States vessels lying off the har bor, with a view to arrange for the transportation of his command to some port in the United States, one of his officers, accompanied by Captain Hartstene and three of my aides, was permitted to visit the officer in command of the squadron to make provision for that object. Because of unavoidable delay the formal transfer of the fort to our possession did not take place until 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 1 4th instant. At that hour, the place having been evacuated by the United States garrison, our troops occu pied it, and the Confederate flag was hoisted on the ram parts of Sumter with a salute from the various batteries." The following official report indicates briefly why Fort Sumter was evacuated : "STEAMSHIP 'BAI/TIC,' OFF SANDY HOOK, "April 18, 1861, — 10.30 A. M. — via New York. "Having defended Fort Sumter for thirty-four hours, until the quarters were entirely burned, the main gates de stroyed by fire, the gorge walls seriously injured, the maga zine surrounded by flames, and its doors closed from the effects of heat, four barrels and three cartridges of powder only being available, and no provisions remaining but pork, I accepted terms of evacuation offered by General Beaure- gard, being the same offered by him on the nth instant, prior to the commencement of hostilities, and marched out of the fort on Sunday afternoon, the I4th instant, with 22 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY colors flying and drums beating, bringing away company and private property, and saluting my flag with fifty guns. "ROBERT ANDERSON, "Major, First Artillery, Commanding. "Hon. S. CAMERON, "Secretary of War, Washington." (Series I, Vol. I, War of the Rebellion Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, pages 13, 14, et seq.) CHAPTER II. THE: FIRST CALL FOR TROOPS. Fort Sumter having been fired upon on April 12, 1861, surrendered on the I3th and evacuated on the I4th, and all hope of arriving at a peaceable solution of the great ques tions then engaging the public mind having by this action been submitted to the arbitrament of the sword, the follow ing call for troops was made : PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION. "By the President of the United States: "A PROCLAMATION. "Whereas, The laws of the United States have been for some time past and now are opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings or by the pow ers vested in the Marshals by law; "Now, therefore, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States, in virtue of the power vested in me by the Constitution and the laws, have thought fit to call forth, and hereby do call forth, the militia of the several States of the Union, to the aggregate number of 75,000, in order to suppress said combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed. The details for this object will be immedi ately communicated to the State authorities through the War Department. "I appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the ex istence of our national Union and the perpetuity of popu lar government, and to redress wrongs already long enough endured. 24 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY "I deem it proper to say, that the first service assigned to the force hereby called forth, will probably be to repos sess the forts, places, and property which have been seized from the Union, and in every event the utmost care will be observed, consistently with the objects aforesaid, to avoid any devastation, any destruction of, or interference with property, or any disturbance of peaceful citizens in any part of the country; and I hereby command the persons composing the combinations aforesaid, to disperse and re tire peaceably to their respective abodes within twenty days from this date. "Deeming that the present condition of public affairs presents an extraordinary occasion, I do hereby in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution, convene both Houses of Congress. The Senators and Representatives are therefore summoned to assemble at their respective chambers at twelve o'clock, noon, on Thursday, the fourth day of July next, then and there to consider and determine such measures as, in their wisdom, the public safety and in terest may seem to demand. "In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the city of Washington, this fifteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-fifth. "ABRAHAM LINCOLN. "By the President. "WM. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State." (Note — Under this call 91,816 men were accepted.) Notwithstanding all that had been said in reference to secession and the establishing of a Southern Confederacy, many people were loth to believe that actual war would ensue, hence the attack upon Fort Sumter and President Lincoln's call for troops came like an electric shock to the nation. Both North and South sprang up like tigers in their lair. In cities, towns, and country places, business of FIRST CAU, FOR TROOPS 25 every character was generally suspended, and public meet ings were held where volunteers by thousands enrolled for the conflict. The State of Ohio was called upon for less than 13,000 men. In less than two weeks more than 75,000 of her loyal sons tendered their services, when Governor Dennison persuaded the Secretary of War to accept twenty- one instead of thirteen regiments and informed the Presi dent that if the State of Kentucky declined to furnish her quota, the State of Ohio would do it for her. As might have been expected, the hardy sons of northern Ohio, whose ancestors fought at Lexington and Bunker Hill, encamped at Valley Forge and crossed the Delaware, responded promptly and enthusiastically to the call and were early prepared to leave for camp. And what of the leave taking when these volunteers left their respective home towns? Marching in a body to the depot where a great throng had gathered, some well-known citizen said a few words of parting, while the favorite pastor offered an earnest prayer for the success of the cause, their protection and safe return; then for a few moments these warriors, in miniature, were left in the hands of those most dear. While many were already in tears at the thought of perhaps a final parting, others whose hearts were equally stirred, endeavored to smile and be cheery, yet a spirit of the utmost sadness prevailed until the cars came to bear them away. Then parents and others embraced and kissed their soldier boys with all the tenderness known to loving human hearts; said a fond good-by, and amid cheers, tears, and the waving of flags, hats, hands, and handkerchiefs, the train departed. CHAPTER III. CAMP TAYLOR. On April 18, 1861, Mr. A. A. Jewett, of Cleveland, presi dent of the Cuyahoga County Agricultural Society, ten dered Governor Dennison the use of their Fair Grounds on Kinsman street, as a camp ground, whereupon the follow ing orders were issued : "GENERAL HEADQUARTERS, "ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, "COLUMBUS, O., April 18, 1861. "GENERAL ORDER No. 5. "Camp Taylor will be organized at Cleveland forthwith and will be the rendezvous for all troops raised in the Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth Divisions, as lately organized, and also the Third Brigade of the Eighth Division. "Assistant Commissary-General George B. Senter is de tailed to make all necessary provision for the camp grounds, supplies, etc., and Brig.-Gen. J. W. Fitch will assume com mand of Camp Taylor, and will report by telegraph to headquarters of troops, daily, for orders and also of all arrivals. "The organization will be by companies until they report to camp, when such regimental organization will be effected as may be deemed best for the service. "H. B. CARRINGTON, "Adjutant-General.

A Sprague Zouave Cadets, " De Villiers, " B Monroe Rifles, " Shurtleff, " C Painesville Union Guards, " Dyer, " D Huron Infantry, " Sprague, " E Franklin Rifles, " Morris, " F Tyler Guards, " Seymour, " G Company A of Warren, " Asper, " H Union Guards, " Sterling, " I National Guards, " Wiseman, " K and denominated the Seventh Regiment Ohio Volunteers. The following extracts from the Cleveland Leader it is believed will be of interest : Cleveland Leader, April 18, 1861. "The Light Guards organization was completed and of ficers elected as follows: W. R. Creighton, captain; O. J. Crane, first lieutenant; A. C. Burgess, second lieutenant; Dudley Kimball, first sergeant; George A. McKay, second sergeant; Frank Lynch, third sergeant; Dwight H. Brown, fourth sergeant; J. P. Mcllrath, first corporal; William J. Morgan, second corporal; Alexander Ewart, third corporal; William A. Howe, fourth corporal; C. L. Smith, commissary." Cleveland Leader, April 22, 1861. "The Sprague Zouave Corps elected the following of ficers : C. A. De Villiers, captain ; James T. Sterling, first lieutenant; T. T. Sweeny, second lieutenant; H. Z. Eaton, ensign; Louis G. De Forest, orderly sergeant; Joseph B. Molyneaux, first sergeant; George Whitehead, second sergeant; Merwin Clark, third sergeant; Frank M. Thomas, fourth sergeant; E. B. Thomas, first corporal; CAMP TAYLOR 29 William R. McChesney, second corporal ; Ed. Gibson, third corporal, and William Walworth, fourth corporal." Cleveland Leader, April 25, 1861. "We learn that 75,000 troops, the full number called for by the President's Proclamation, have been tendered from this State alone, and that 100,000 are probably prepared to do military duty. Our people are alive with patriotism and honest bravery." Same date : "The Union Guards, a fine company numbering 104 men, arrived at camp yesterday afternoon. They are from Painesville and were accompanied by the Painesville Brass Band, who discoursed sweet music as they marched through the streets." Cleveland Leader, April 26, 1861. "Shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday a company from Huron, numbering 80 men, came in, commanded by Cap tain Sprague." Same date: "Portage County has sent 71 of her noble sons from Ravenna. The Company is named the 'Tyler Guards' in honor of Brigadier-General E. B. Tyler. The Company es corted General Tyler to Camp Taylor, and after reporting themselves at headquarters, returned to the Weddel House for the night." Same date : "Eighty-four men came in on the C. & P. road last night from Franklin Mills, commanded by Captain John Morris." April 27, 1861 : "Company A, Second Brigade, Ninth Division Ohio Volunteer Militia, came to town last night from Warren, under command of Capt. Joel F. Asper. They marched to Camp Taylor this morning, where quarters were provided for them." Before any adequate preparation and provision could be made for their comfort, some 5,000 volunteers rendez- 30 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY voused at Camp Taylor, and while the accommodations there were necessarily scant and crude, by the use of the Agricultural Society's buildings reinforced by hastily con structed barracks, some eighty feet in length and sixteen wide, with aisles through the center and tiers of bunks on either side, like shelves in an apple bin, and packed to over flowing, shelter was provided for the assembling patriots. As for uniforms, arms, or army rations, there were none. Meals were supplied by contract, while even blankets were scarce, and largely contributed by generous and loyal people. Everywhere the sound of martial music filled the air, and whenever a new organization came into camp with fifes screaming, drums beating, and colors flying, it was greeted with enthusiastic cheers and given a most cordial welcome. And what a motley crew ! In the absence of regulation uniforms every sort of cos tume prevailed. Each volunteer wore the garb he donned when he left home for camp, yet this did not detract from his desire to learn the evolutions of a soldier and qualify himself for the proper discharge of his duties as such; hence each day was given to drill with all the zeal and earnestness of young men preparing to do battle for their country. ONE OF THE FIRST LETTERS FROM CAMP. "CAMP TAYLOR, CLEVELAND, O., April 27, 1861. "We left Painesville at 12.40 Wednesday, and arrived in camp about 3 o'clock. Headed by the Cornet Band we were marched on to the parade grounds and rested until supper time, when we were called together and marched to supper, which consisted of bread, coffee and cold meat. After this we were marched near headquarters and received a good heavy blanket, thence to the barracks, where we stopped for the night. "After a night's rest on Uncle Sam's feathers (straw) we were called by the reveille. Orderly Weed called the roll, and we broke ranks to prepare for breakfast, after CAMP TAYLOR 31 which we were marched to the parade grounds, where we drilled until dinner. Our dinner consisted of meat and potatoes, bread and beans and water. From 2 until 6 o'clock visitors are allowed on the grounds. At 5 o'clock we all assemble around the center stand for prayer. The boys are all enjoying themselves first rate. There are be tween four and five thousand men in camp at present. Re spects to all. "W. P. TISDEI,. "To Painesville Telegraph." On April 28, 1861, the Sprague Zouave Cadets (Co. B) were presented with a handsome flag by their lady friends, Mrs. A. Stone making the presentation address. CHAPTER IV. CAMP DENNISON. Camp Dennison, named after the then Governor of the State of Ohio, was conveniently located on the Little Miami River and railroad, seventeen miles north of Cincinnati, in what had been a huge corn-field of more than five hundred acres, then seeded to wheat, and existed as a camp of or ganization and instruction for infantry, cavalry, and artil lery, all through the war of which we write, as well as a vast hospital where thousands of sick and wounded and convalescent soldiers found shelter and medical treatment. In the early days of 1861 Camp Dennison was under the command of Brig.-Gen. Jacob D. Cox.* "COLUMBUS, OHIO, May 2, 1861. "SPECIAL ORDER No. 135. "The Seventh and Eighth Regiments Infantry, will leave Camp Taylor, May the 3d, instant, en route for Camp Dennison, by the C. C. & C. Railroad, and will be at the depot to leave at 5 o'clock in the morning without fail. "They will supply themselves with an army ration of cooked provisions. H. B. CARRINGTON, "Adjutant-General. "By order of Commander-in-Chief: "To Brig.-Gen. J. W. FITCH, "Camp Taylor." "SPECIAL ORDER "COLUMBUS, O, May 3, 1861. No. 146. "The Seventh Regiment on arrival at Columbus will march into Camp Jackson until further orders. "H. B. CARRINGTON, "Adjutant-General. "By order of Commander-in-Chief: "To Brig.-Gen. J. W. FITCH, "Camp Taylor." *See frontispiece. CAMP D^NNISON 33 On May 3, 1861, George B. McClellan, who had been appointed major-general of the Ohio Militia by Governor Dennison, visited Camp Taylor and ordered that a detail of ten men from each of the ten companies, destined to become the Seventh Ohio Infantry, proceed the next day to Camp Dennison to construct barracks for the regiment. This detail of 100 men, under the command of Lieut. Orrin J. Crane, left the city of Cleveland on May 4, at 6 A. M., reaching Camp Dennison about 5 p. M. to find that the lum ber for the construction of barracks had not yet arrived. In the absence of any provision of quarters for this de tail, Lieutenant Crane and his men sought shelter for the night in the already crowded barracks of the Eighth Ohio Infantry and in abandoned buildings near by. On the morning of May 5, Lieutenant Crane and his detail went forth in the midst of a severe rain storm, to learn that while the lumber had reached its destination, but one mule and one ox team had been provided to haul it from the railroad to the building sites, a quarter of a mile distant. As some seventy barracks were to be hastily constructed, the absolute inadequacy of the transportation mentioned was at once apparent; but nothing daunted, those sturdy patriots at once began carrying the heavy, rough, water- soaked lumber through mud and mire, until energy, pluck, and endurance were well-nigh vanquished, and yet that night they rested well. The next morning Lieutenant Crane and his men again awoke to find the rain falling as in the days of Noah, yet they went to work with renewed vigor and determination, again carrying lumber through mud and mire now almost knee deep, yet thinner than the day before because of more water mixed with it, and by 5 p. M. had succeeded so well in the construction of. the seventy barracks as to have many of them enclosed so as to afford partial shelter to the rest of their comrades when they arrived. These barracks were built of rough boards, like railroad 34 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY shanties, 12 by 18 feet, six to a company, three on each side of a street 25 feet wide, facing each other, with a cook house of same size in the rear. LEAVING CAMP TAYLOR. On May 5, 1861, a beautiful Sabbath morning, the Sev enth Ohio Infantry left Camp Taylor, under command of Capt. William R. Creighton, and marching to the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad, embarked in eighteen cars for Columbus. The following is an extract from the Cleveland Leader of May 6, 1861 : "Both sides of the street were lined with people and the number grew larger momentarily, a large portion of them women, and waving handkerchiefs and tearful eyes bore witness to the sympathy which was felt for those young men who were going forth to do battle in behalf of that which is equally dear to us all. Never did the several com panies march better or look better. "At the depot and along the track there were gathered from 5,000 to 8,000 people; among them were many of our most respectable citizens and several ministers of the gospel. Some of the farewells were most affecting, and indeed there were at any time few dry eyes among those who were near the cars. The soldiers were cheerful and endeavored to console those whom they were leaving with promise of a safe and speedy return. "At length the train began to move, and as it rolled out of the depot there was silence for a moment and then cheer after cheer arose, which those on board returned, and in the midst of a thousand cries of 'God bless you!' the noble Seventh, the pride of Ohio, departed." While en route to Columbus the people everywhere greeted the soldiers with every demonstration of enthusi astic and patriotic approval, and at Grafton the ladies served a liberal basket lunch, which was greatly enjoyed by the boys who had for a few days been deprived of "mother's cooking." Comrade N. K. Hubbard said in a letter: CAMP DENNISON 35 "Following this, about 2 o'clock, we had dinner while the cars were in motion, which consisted of cold meat, bread and butter, crackers and cheese. All were well satisfied." Columbus was reached about 5 p. M., and the regiment marched to Camp Jackson about one-half mile out, where supper was at once announced. After supper it was found that the entire regiment could not be accommodated in the barracks at Camp Jackson, when the Sprague Cadets and Monroe Rifles marched to the State-House, where the Cadets were quartered in the basement, while the Rifles took possession of the Senate Chamber. As early as 3.30 A. M. on May 6 the Seventh was astir, and embarking again on early trains, reached Camp Denni- son that afternoon in the midst of heavy rain and a sea of mud, making the entry into this new camp singularly dreary and forbidding. Within a few days, however, with the completion of the barracks and fair weather, which speedily eliminated the mud, Camp Dennison became a habitable and desirable place. THE ELECTION OF FIELD OFFICERS. "COLUMBUS, OHIO, May 6, 1861. "SPECIAL ORDER No. 150. "The Seventh Regiment Ohio Volunteers, called out under requisition of the President of the United States, will elect field officers, the 7th instant, at 3 o'clock p. M. "Officers and men all voting by ballot. "Return to be made at this office. " H. B. CARRINGTON, " Ad j utant-Gener al . "By order of the Commander-in-Chief. "To Brig.-Gen. J. D. Cox, "Camp Dennison." The candidates for the colonelcy of the Seventh Regi ment were Erastus B. Tyler, of Ravenna, a former briga- 36 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY dier-general of militia, and State Senator James A. Gar- field. The former was elected, while Capt. William R. Creighton of Company A was the unanimous choice for lieutenant-colonel, and John S. Casement, of Painesville, "Lake County, for major. The regimental staff was completed by the appointment of Dr. Henry K. Gushing, surgeon; Dr. Francis Salter, asst. surgeon ; Rev. Frederick T. Brown, chaplain ; Louis G. DeForest, adjutant; John Morris, R. Q. M. ; Leicester King, sergeant major; Marcus S. Hopkins, quartermaster sergeant; John L. Woodard, drum major; and Harry Wood, fife major. On May 3, 1861, President Lincoln issued his first call for volunteers to serve for a period of three years, and on May 24, Brig.-Gen. J. D. Cox, then in command of Camp Dennison, announced his desire to know how many of the Seventh Regiment would enlist for that period. The officers were practically unanimous in favor of a reorgani zation on the three-year basis, and the subject being brought before the men, about three- fourths of them en listed. As soon as possible these three-year volunteers were uni formed and given a ten-day furlough, while the various company officers went to their respective homes in search of recruits to take the place of the men who did not re- enlist, and by the middle of June the quota of the regiment was full. On June 14 the members of the regiment who did not reenlist left Camp Dennison on leave, until regularly mus tered out of service, which occurred at Columbus on Au gust 1 8, 1 86 1. On June 19, 1861, the field officers were reelected, and on that day and on the 2Oth, the entire regiment was regu larly mustered into the military service of the United States by a Regular Army officer, to serve for the full period of three years. On June 21 at a meeting of the officers the following action was taken : CAMP DENNISON 37 "We the undersigned, commandants of the several com panies composing the Seventh Regiment of Ohio Volun teers and field officers belonging thereto, called into service of the President of the United States, being advised of the fact that our honored colonel, E. B. Tyler, is about to leave his little daughter, Mary, to the care of strangers and go to the defense of his country, do hereby agree that in case any unforeseen casualty should deprive our regiment of its colo nel and his child of a protector, we will adopt the said Mary A. Tyler as the 'Daughter of the Seventh Regiment,' and we further pledge ourselves to extend over her the care and protection of this regiment until she shall arrive at the age of maturity. "Given under our hands at Camp Dennison, O., this 2ist day of June, A. D. 1861. W. R. CREIGHTON, Lieut. Col. J. S. CASEMENT, Major. O. J. CRANE), Captain of Co. A. JAMES T. STERLING, Captain of Co. B. J. W. SHURTLEFF, Captain of Co. C. JOHN N. DYER, Captain of Co. D. J. W. SPRAGUE, Captain of Co. E. D. B. CLAYTON, Captain of Co. F. W. H. ROBINSON, Lieut. Commanding, Co. G. J. F. ASPER, Captain of Co. H. W. R. STERLING, Captain of Co. I. JOHN J. WISEMAN, Captain of Co. K." On June 22 arms, accouterments, and uniforms were drawn and issued, and the Seventh Regiment of Ohio Vol unteer Infantry was placed upon a war footing. Our guns consisted of old flint lock muskets converted into percussion locks, and destined t6 carry "buck and ball," which proved to be very effective in battle at short range. For the space of three days the regiment drilled almost incessantly in the manual of arms, learning how to handle their pieces and "load in nine times." CHAPTER V. FROM CAMP DENNISON TO WKSTON. On June 25, to the great joy of every member of the organization, orders came to cook rations and be prepared to leave camp the next day. What glorious news was this ! Whither going or what we were to do, we cared not, so that we left camp in peace ful Ohio and were placed upon active duty in the enemy's country. At a very early hour on June 26 the members of the Seventh were astir and taking their first lesson in packing knapsacks. It is needless to state that the capacity of our knapsacks seemed disgustingly small when we attempted to store therein our modest supply of clothing and numerous keepsakes which we did not see how we could part with. We experienced our first great disappointment, however, when we had to wait all day until 6 P. M. before the train, in sections, rolled away, but we subsequently learned that it was frequently military to fall in promptly and then wait and keep on waiting, until tired out and thoroughly dis gusted, before the column moved. Going by Columbus, camp equipage and ammunition were taken on board, and with a train of 45 cars, running in sections, and accom panied by extra locomotives, the regiment reached Bellaire, on the Ohio River, some four miles below Wheeling, on June 27, about 3 P. M., having been given an ovation along the entire route. The command at once crossed over to Benwood and stood upon Virginia soil. Ammunition was issued and muskets loaded, so as to be prepared for any emergency. At dusk for the first time the regiment bivouacked in the open, under the starry canopy. Just after midnight we were aroused to embark in box cars, and about 2 o'clock A. M. of June 28 left for Grafton. FROM CAMP DENNISON TO WESTON 39 This branch of the B. & O. R. R. passes through a very rough and hilly country, generally following along the course of streams, now and then plunging through tunnels of less or greater length, making our journey in the dark ness, with a prospect of a possible attack while en route, strangely weird and uninviting. After a brief pause at Grafton the trains proceeded to Clarksburg, where about 3 P. M. the entire command dis embarked, pitched tents, and established camp in the enemy's country. The next day the Seventh was called out by Colonel Tyler, who delivered an address exhorting faithfulness, steadiness, and strict obedience to orders. A stand of colors was also presented on behalf of the German Turners of Cleveland, Ohio, and when dismissed it was under in structions to be ready to march at 3 p. M. upon an impor tant mission. At 4 P. M. the regiment, newly armed, uniformed, and equipped, and led by a splendid instrumental band, under a German professor, marched out of Clarksburg with drums beating and colors flying and took the pike for Weston, 25 miles distant. At first how jolly we all were, although loaded down with large and well-packed knapsacks, haver sacks, canteens, guns, and cartridge-boxes. The weight of our entire equipment was not for a time noticed, but as the miles and the hours wore on hilarity gradually ceased, and by dark we began to feel somewhat fatigued. An occasional brief halt was made, and as the night and distance drew on, our fatigue, thirst and hunger, and loss of sleep began to be more and more apparent. Tender and unused feet in stiff and unused army shoes began to chafe and blister; the straps on our knapsacks began to cut into our shoulders, while those across our chest became irksome and confining. About midnight we reached a little town strung out along the main road, called Jane Lew, which was illumi nated with many tallow candles, and looked cheerful and inviting. 4O SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY At early dawn, after what seemed an almost endless all- night march, we were yet some distance from Weston, when orders were given to lengthen step, which caused some to drop out of ranks, completely exhausted. How ever, as the goal must be reached, our officers still urged us on, and finally gave the order to double quick. At this many more fell out by the wayside, while others, who could not keep up with their heavy load, threw off their knapsacks, struck out at a lively trot, determined to be "in at the death," and held on valiantly until the town was reached. Upon entering the town about 5 A. M. on June 30, (a lovely Sunday morning) the regiment divided, and deploy ing through the streets had possession before the citizens knew of our presence. The Union people gave us breakfast, and when the baggage arrived "Camp Tyler" was established across the river, the west fork of the Monongahela. CHAPTER VI. ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. "WESTON, VA., July 4, 1861. "Leaving Grafton on Friday last, at about 8 A. MV we came on the North Western Virginia R. R. to Clarksburg, and there encamped. Saturday afternoon Colonel Tyler drew the regiment up in the form of a square, and ad dressed us in substance as follows : " 'Soldiers of the Seventh Regiment — You are now in the midst of the enemy's country, surrounded by secessionists, and it becomes us to be on the alert against their move ments. Your conduct as soldiers, from the time of your arrival at Camp Dennison, has been made known to the commander-in-chief, and in return for your uniform pa triotism and prompt obedience, he has assigned to you, in preference to any other regiment, the important position you at present occupy. " 'In all your actions, act as gentlemen, and show to the people in whose presence you are that the Ohio boys as gentlemen and soldiers are one. I am, by your choice, to lead you. I am .but a machine in your hands. Gentlemen, it is in your power to go on to complete victory or complete defeat. If you see fit to place confidence in me, obey my commands, and follow me where I may lead, I shall feel proud of the command of the Seventh Regiment. The country in which we are situated, I am probably better ac quainted with than any other man in the world — and with my knowledge of the country, and your obedience to com mands, we can accomplish everything. Will you follow where I will lead? [Universal Yes! Yes! Yes! Hurrah for Colonel Tyler!] Soldiers — we have received marching orders. To-morrow morning by 3 o'clock we wish to reach a certain point; be ready; obey orders implicitly, and all will be well/ 42 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY "The point which the Colonel wished to reach, I ascer tained privately, was Weston — a town 23 miles south of us, over the hills, and there he wished to capture fifteen of the most noted secessionists and take possession of a secession bank. At 4 p. M. on Saturday we packed up our traps, and with our knapsacks on our backs, haversacks slung at our sides with one day's rations, belts around our waist with cartridge-box containing twenty rounds of cartridges, cap- box, bayonet and scabbard, revolver and knife, and musket on the shoulder, we started at quick time from Clarksburg. "The latter part of the march, with such a load to carry, was very fatiguing; and when within one mile and a half from the town the order was given for double quick, many of the men were so fatigued that they fell out of the ranks — others threw away their knapsacks. Perhaps there were one hundred in all who from fatigue did not march into town with the regiment. Entering and surrounding the town, taking possession of the bank, was done in good order, in a short time, without any opposition whatever. "I had almost forgotten to mention that when within a quarter of a mile of the town, a man was seen running up the hillside to the left of us. He was supposed to be a spy, and accordingly was called on to halt! Failing to do so, he was fired on, but at such a distance without effect. He was seen to fall, however, and hide in the bushes. Several of the boys ran up, but it was the good luck of one of Com pany D's boys to capture him, more frightened than hurt. William L. Wurts, of our company, captured the first of the secessionists taken by the Seventh Regiment in Vir ginia. Good for him ! Several of our boys arrested rebels in the town. Captain Dyer arrested a great many. Lieu tenants Weed and Williams each got one or two. Ser geant French took three, one of whom was armed with a '76 musket. Your correspondent had the pleasure of ar resting three seccsh — one of whom purported to be a Meth odist minister, who has one son in the rebel army and another acting as scout. "The people of the town were taken by surprise, not ARMY CORRESPONDENCE 43 knowing at first whether we were Union men or secession ists ; but finding out what we were, for the most part they were overjoyed to see us. The buttery and larder were emptied of their contents for the benefit of the soldiers ; each, apparently, vied with the other to see who should feed the most of us. One lady, a Mrs. Osborne, provided break fast for sixty-four hungry soldiers, and almost that num ber for dinner and supper. Another lady, a Mrs. Dins- more, satisfied the craving appetites of dozens of hungry soldiers. Numbers of others, whose names I do not know, feasted the boys liberally. Ever since we came here the Union loving folks of Weston have proven their generosity and patriotism by their conduct to the soldiers. "On Tuesday last the men folks went out and got a pole on which to raise a flag made by the ladies. A great crowd gathered at the flag raising, and some speech-making being desired, Lieut A. J. Williams was called on to act as the orator of the day — and in a very appropriate impromptu speech, regarding our country, nationality, and glorious banner, showed himself just the man for the occasion. The glowing words fell from his lips hot with patriotic de votion ; and when he spoke of the insults offered to our nation's flag — that flag which for ninety years has floated proudly in our land — and how we had come here to protect that flag, and maintain the rights of Union people, peace ably if we could, forcibly if we must — it seemed as if a weird-like incantation had been thrown over the crowd, such death-like silence prevailed. After the speech, a young lady, — Miss Dinsmore, — stepped forward, and handsomely drew the Stars and Stripes to their position, amid the cheers of the assembled multitude. The Stars and Stripes, long may they wave in the village of Weston. "To-day is the Fourth. What memories it brings up. To-day the good folks of this town are going to give the Seventh a Fourth of July dinner. Ain't that good ? Hur rah for the people of Weston ! "Already I have written too much, but two items of in- 44 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY terest more and I close. We took possession of a secession printing-office, and our boys are printing a paper there to-day, called The Ohio Seventh. The bank we have pos session of here contains as near as I can ascertain, $125,000 — a pretty good haul to start on, ain't it? Just one word more. All communications to the Seventh Regi ment should be directed as follows — Company — Seventh O. V., Grafton, N. W. Virginia. Pardon length— still for the war, "W. D. SHEPHERD." WHO MADE THE FLAG AT WESTON "DES MOINES, IOWA, February 19, 1906. "DR. WILSON, "Washington, D. C. "I will tell you about the flag making. I think it was made at Mrs. Joe Osborn's, who kept the jail. A home where all of that kind of work was done. I think Rebecca and Maggie Densmore, two loyal sisters, and the two Moore sisters, Susan and Nannie, helped make the flag. There were five of us raised the flag, those four girls and myself. Not that it took all of us, but we wanted the honor of raising that flag, for it was the flag that we all loved. It was hoisted just opposite the Bailey Hotel on the corner. We were all dressed in patriotic collars and aprons. "I will always remember the Seventh Ohio boys. The Sunday morning they came into Weston we gave seven of them a good warm breakfast. Mother could have fed more if they had come. It seemed as though they had breakfast all over the town that morning. "Respectfully, "MRS. J. S. WILKINSON, "Formerly Sallie McBride, of Weston. Lewis County, West Va." ARMY CORRESPONDENCE 45 "WESTON, VA., July n, 1861. "Friend Merrill: The 4th was a joyful day at Camp Tyler. I told you the ladies of Weston were going to give the Seventh Ohio boys a dinner, and they did. Chick ens, — weren't they good? — pies, cakes, biscuit, bread, but ter, and everything else that was eatable, almost. In the afternoon the regiment paraded through the streets, and assisted in raising a large and beautiful flag, made by the good folks here. On the morning of the Fourth, Colonel Tyler received a dispatch from a small village 18 miles from here, to the effect that small parties of secessionists were committing outrages and depredations on the Union ists in that section. Immediately he sent six men from each company, under the command of Captain Dyer, to the assistance of the Union men. On arriving at Bennett's Mills, however, he found the parties scattered to the moun tains. "The evening of the 5th, at about 8 o'clock, the Colonel came to our tents, and asked the lieutenants if their com pany was ready to march. 'Certainly, Colonel, always ready,' was the prompt reply. 'Well,' said he, 'get ready to go and join your captain.' At 10 o'clock p. M. we left Weston for an 1 8-mile march through a mountainous coun try. I was sent ahead with an advance guard, and from some information given us by a man at whose house we halted to get a drink, we were not to be surprised if we should be fired into from the hillsides before we got through. Carefully, silently, and with measured tread we wound our way over the hills, down into deep, dark ra vines, and gullies so dark — (Lieutenant Williams said it was- as dark as a black nigger hunting for a black cat in a dark cellar) that we could not see one yard in advance of us. Scarcely a word was spoken the entire night, and then only in suppressed whispers. Forward we went ; bay onets fixed, and at a charge; fingers on the triggers, ready to fire; but not a soul appeared nor a sound heard. I tell you, friend Merrill, it was rather ticklish marching, and we were not very sorry when daylight appeared. 46 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY "At 6 A. M. of the 6th inst. we reached Camp Dyer (so called in honor of our captain), and soon after the Captain came in with some prisoners, having been out scouting the night previous. Several secessionists were taken, who, on taking the oath of allegiance, were allowed to go. Scout ing parties went out by day and night; and usually brought in one or more prisoners. Lieutenant Weed, with a party, brought in eight at one time. Last Sunday night I went out with a party and brought in five, and two awful long rifles. "Monday morning a dispatch was sent to Captain Dyer to return immediately to Weston. In just one hour from the time the dispatch came, everything was packed up, and we were on the road. Part of the time the heat was in tense, and several of our boys fell from the ranks, unable to stand the march and heat. A heavy thunder storm provi dentially arose, and the rain came down in torrents, wetting us, almost instantly, to the skin — but so cooling and refresh ing that the rest of the march was made with considerable ease. "At 7 o'clock in the evening we again entered Weston, and found that the regiment had gone to Glenville, expect ing to have a fight there. "I forgot to mention that a scouting party from the Seventh went out the other night and seized fifteen men and eight horses. "In my last I wrote that the amount of money taken pos session of at the bank here was about $75,000. Colonel Tyler sent away of the amount taken $27,000 in specie, the principal part of the balance being in paper and not worth anything. "From actual observation I am convinced that a great majority of the secessionists in this section are so from policy more than principle. For instance, Bennett, the auditor of this State, is a strong secessionist.

In June, 1861, there was deposited in the bank at Wes ton, Virginia, State funds to the credit of the insane asy lum, the sum of $30,000 in gold, and during the excitement of the days of secession and beginning of hostilities this money seemed to have been overlooked by the authorities at Richmond. While the secessionists at Weston were hoping that this gold would be saved to the Confederacy, the loyal men there took steps to prevent it. A secret meeting was held and one of their sturdiest members, Joshua C. Wilkinson, was selected to start that night on foot for Wheeling, to lay the matter before the Governor. Wilkinson stepped off 25 miles to Clarksburg, caught an early train to Wheeling, and at an early hour the next day had an audience with the Governor, who was equal to the emergency. Getting in touch with the au thorities at Washington, he urged that at least a regiment of infantry be at once sent to Weston, with the result that the Seventh Ohio Infantry was at once ordered from Camp Dennison and reached the town in time to get the gold,. NOTE. — This information was furnished by Comrade Daniel Ford of the Thirteenth West Virginia Infantry, then a boy living near Weston. "THE OHIO SEVENTH." At a meeting of the lieutenants of the Seventh Ohio Regiment the following officers were chosen to publish a Union paper at Weston: Proprietor, Lieutenant A. C. Burgess, Co. A. Leading Editor, Lieutenant J. N. Cross, Co. C. Assistant Editor, Lieutenant A. J. Williams, Co. D. 48 S£V£NTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY Publishers, J. F. Harmon and E. F. Grabill, Co. C. The office of the Weston Herald was taken possession of and the first copy of the Ohio Seventh was issued on July 4, 1 86 1, from a defunct secession newspaper office with material left in great confusion. It was announced that the Ohio Seventh would be issued as long as the regiment remained at Camp Tyler, and that it was hoped copies would be issued in Richmond, Charles ton, and New Orleans, and always from defunct secession newspaper offices. This little sheet was cordially greeted by soldiers and citizens and greatly enjoyed by all who saw it. The following marriage notices were announced : "In Cleveland, May 2, 1861, Lieut-Col. W. R. Creigh- ton of the Seventh Ohio Infantry and Miss Elenor N. Quirk, both of Cleveland. The Colonel's wife spent sev eral days at Camp Dennison before the regiment left. It was hard to tell who had the most friends, the Colonel or his bride. Long live the Colonel with his bride — the bride- in-chief of the Seventh. "In Lyme, Huron County, Ohio, June 12, 1861, Lieut.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE 49 in under arms, and led by our instrumental band marched to the hospital. An ambulance served as a hearse. When all was ready the band led off, playing the saddest of all tunes, "The Dead March." With arms reversed and at slow time the solemn cortege moved to the cemetery, where the body was placed in the open grave. The chaplain's ad dress, tender and sympathetic, drew tears from many eyes ; then with an earnest prayer, not forgetting the dead sol dier's loved ones far away in the Northern home who should never look upon his face again, the firing squad took position — three sharp volleys, and all was over. The command "Attention!" was given; the band struck up "The Girl I Left Behind Me," and the command re turned to camp to awake to the realization of the fact, not before considered, that although enlisting to do battle for their country, they might die of a simple distemper like measles, and never, as in this case, see an enemy. CHAPTER VII. GOING TO GIvENVIUvE, BULLTOWN, SUTTON, AND SUMMKR- On July 7, 1 86 1, Companies B and H were ordered to march to Glenville,, 28 miles distant, to the relief of Union troops stationed there, and Comrade M. M. Andrews states : "The next morning the regiment broke camp at Wes- ton and marched 18 miles toward Glenville and went into bivouac, but hearing that the companies which had pre ceded us the day before needed help, Colonel Tyler directed Company C to push on that night. We marched most of the night through darkness and mud, reaching Glenville in the early morning, and occupied a large residence from which the rebel owners had departed. In the afternoon the regiment came up and we all camped in a vacant lot near the village, where we stayed fifteen days. It was there that Corporal Adams of Company C was shot by a bushwhacker." Comrade Adams has written of this affair as follows : "On Sunday morning the 2ist of July, 1861, I was sent out in command of a squad of men to picket and guard a ford across the Little Kanawha about two miles down the river from Glenville, W. Va., with instructions to relieve and send in the old guard. On arriving at the place described we found no picket present. There was no mistaking the place — so I left the men and went to a house near by to make inquiry as to the reason of the absence of the guard. The people told me that the picket post was about forty rods beyond at the next house (which was not in sight because of a bend in the road which followed the crooks in the river). "When I got back to the men they had already taken off GOING TO GIvENVIIvLB AND SUMM^RVILI^ 51 their blankets and made themselves ready to stay, and as the distance was so short I went on alone to notify the old picket of our presence. Just beyond the bend in the road there was a ledge of rocks with brush and trees growing up to its edge running along the road and three or four rods distant from the center of the road. At the highest part of the ledge was a large boulder. Suddenly, without the least warning, while utterly unconscious of danger, I re ceived a shot from a rifle which struck me just to the right of the spine and passed through a space of about five inches. It was aimed at my heart and had missed killing me be cause the rebel had miscalculated my forward movement. I suppose a half an inch farther ahead and it would have killed me, as it would then have passed through the spine. On recovering from the partial fall I looked and saw the smoke coming from over the boulder, and raised my gun and was about to fire, but the thought struck me that as I saw no one, I should hit no one, and it would leave me with an empty gun at the mercy of the rebel, so I reserved my fire until such time as I would have something to aim at. In an interview shortly after with Colonel Creighton, I told him the particulars as above, and he commended me for my coolness in reserving my fire. I have always been proud of getting the commendation and approval of such a man as Colonel Creighton. And I have always been proud of being the first man wounded by a rebel in the glorious old Seventh Ohio, which afterward suffered so heavily in wounded and killed. I sent one of the men to camp with the news. The whole regiment came out, but failed to dis cover the rebel, after diligent search. The next morning I was sent by ambulance to Weston. At the same time the regiment left Glenville, going by the place where I was wounded, and I have been told that Captain Shurtleff had his horse killed on that occasion, while passing that place. It (my wounding) proved a final parting with many a dear friend, for before I recovered, "Cross Lanes" battle had taken place, where Company C lost 35 men killed, wounded, and prisoners." 52 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY Corporal T. E. W. Adams of Company C therefore bears the honorable distinction of having been the first man in the regiment to shed his blood in defense of his country. Captain Dyer with his scouting party to Walkersville, reached Weston the afternoon of July 8, when all the rest of the regiment, excepting Company A, had gone to rein force the troops at Glenville. While at Glenville, Colonel Tyler, wishing to open com munication with Gen. J. D. Cox, supposed to be operating in the Big Kanawha Valley below Charleston, requested Chaplain Brown of the Seventh to attempt this most hazardous journey. After brief preparation this courageous and well-beloved little man, about noon on Thursday, July 18, 1861, bade his comrades good-by and departed. The following is his own account of the affair : From Cleveland Herald, July 27th, 1861. "From the Chaplain of the Seventh, "Mouth of Pocotalico (Poco), "17 Miles below Charleston. "Monday, July 22, 1861. "You see I am still here, though in the note I sent you yesterday I told you I should leave in the afternoon. I am here by advice of General Cox, who thinks I will reach the Seventh about as soon by remaining with him as by return ing the way I came, and by a much shorter route. I was reluctant to see it in this light. But as the object which brought me here has been secured, and my only reason for returning was to relieve the anxiety of Colonel Tyler and others for my safety, I thought it best to take the advice and remain, and especially as from dispatches received by General Cox from General McClellan a few hours before by way of Point Pleasant, to which place they had been tele graphed, I learned that Colonel Tyler was, or very soon would be, on the move south to join us here, by way of Sutton and Summerville. Take your map of Virginia and you will see that with the Seventh on the move south-east, GOING TO GI• •> ^w,v" ^ of true courage and high sense of duty won for Sergeant Tisdel the soldierly regard and re spect of all his associates. That night, however, he ap peared in something of a comical role. When the Eleventh Corps had passed to a place of safety and Stonewall Jack son had been placed hors dc combat and matters had quieted down for the night, a few men at a time were permitted to go to the rear, where fires would not draw the shots of the enemy, to make coffee, and among them Sergeant Tisdel. Stepping back some distance he came near a cheerful and inviting camp-fire, and at once proceeded to hold his little coffee pail over the flames, but had not been long thus en gaged when a somewhat distinguished individual ap proached and said, "Who you vos ?" Now in those days if Sergeant Tisdel lacked anything, it was not a spirit of inde pendence and assurance, so he promptly replied, "I am Ser geant Tisdel, of the Seventh Ohio Infantry." The other party observed him for a moment, until the little coffee pail began to simmer, and then drawing himself up to fullest regulation height, he said in tones of suppressed emotion, "Veil, Sergeant Tisdel of der Sevent Ohio, I vos Prigadier- Sheneral Von Steinwehr of der Eleventh Corps, und I nitz vont you to make coffee mit my headquarters." At this positive and emphatic announcement, notwithstanding his independence, Sergeant Tisdel deemed it expedient to heed the General's remonstrance, and at once proceeded to find a camp-fire where a more democratic spirit prevailed, where he finished the preparation of his frugal meal ; but was not OF CHANCEUvORSVIUvE 245 long in telling of this occurrence, and expressing his private opinion of brigadier-generals, and this one in particular, when he rejoined the company.

He was dislodged from all his positions around Chancellorsville, and driven back toward the Rap- pahannock, over which he is now retreating. Many prison ers were taken, and the enemy's loss in killed and wounded large. "We have again to thank Almighty God for a great vic tory. "I regret to state that General Paxton was killed, Gen eral Jackson severely wounded, and Generals Heth and A. P. Hill slightly wounded. "R. E. LEE, "General Commanding."

He died yesterday at 3.15 p. M. of pneumonia : calm, serene, and happy. May his spirit pervade our whole army : Our country will then be secure. "R. E. LEE, "General." CHAPTER XXVII. THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN. After the battle of Chancellorsville, until June 13, the Seventh Ohio remained in camp near Aquia Creek perform ing light duty, the most important occurrence having taken place on the 6th, when again paid off. The usual camp rumors as to the probable movements of the enemy prevailed until June 3, when the following com munication came to General Hooker's headquarters : "WASHINGTON, D. C., June i, 1863. "GENERAL PLEASONTON. "DEAR SIR : There is one thi«g that looks very apparent to me, and that is, that this movement of General Lee's is not intended to menace Washington, but to try his hand again toward Maryland, or to call off your attention while General Stuart goes there. I have every reason for believ ing that Stuart is on his way toward Maryland. I do not positively know it, but there is the best of reasons for be lieving it. "Very respectfully, "G. S. SMITH." So much credence was attached to this statement that the Commanding General as late as 10.15 p. M. of June 3 issued orders to his entire command to be prepared with rations and ammunition to move at a moment's notice, which was well, as this was in fact the date upon which Gen. Robert E. Lee began to withdraw his troops from about Fredericks- burg and set the Army of Northern Virginia in motion for the Gettysburg campaign. This was detected in his evac uated camps the next morning, when General Hooker or dered pontoon bridges thrown across the Rappahannock be low Fredericksburg and crossed a part of the Sixth Corps THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN 249 under General Sedgwick, to make a demonstration, but found the enemy in such force as to cause him to withhold aggressive action. On June 5, 1863, 11.30 A. M., General Hooker in a mes sage to President Lincoln in reference to the probable in tention of General Lee to cross the upper Potomac, or throw his army between the Army of the Potomac and Washing ton, said in part : "After giving the subject my best reflection, I am of the opinion that it is my duty to pitch into his rear, although in so doing the head of his column may reach Warrenton be fore I can return. Will it be within the spirit of my in structions to do so?" To this he received the following characteristic reply : "WASHINGTON, June 5, 1863 — 4 p. M. "MAJ.-GEN. HOOKER : Yours of to-day was received an hour ago. So much of professional skill is requisite to an^ swer it, that I have turned the task over to General Halleck. He promises to perform it with his utmost care. I have but one idea which I think worth suggesting to you, and that is, in case you find Lee coming to the north of the Rappahan- nock, I would by no means cross to the south of it. If he should leave a rear force at Fredericksburg, tempting you to fall upon it, it would fight you in entrenchments and have you at disadvantage, and so, man for man, worst you at that point, while his main force would in some way be get ting an advantage of you northward. In one word, I would not take any risk of being entangled upon the river, like an ox jumped half over a fence and liable to be torn by dogs front and rear, without a fair chance to gore one way or kick the other. "If Lee would come to my side of the river, I would keep on the same side, and fight him or act on the defense, ac cording as my estimate of his strength relatively to my own. 250 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY "But these are mere suggestions, which I desire to be controlled by the judgment of yourself and General 1 1'allcck. "A. LINCOLN." On the Qth, with a view to securing information as to the designs of General Lee, General Pleasonton, then in com mand of the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac, crossed the Rappahannock at Kelly's and Beverly Fords with his cavalry, supported by some 2,500 picked infantry, and mov ing in the direction of Culpeper, engaged the enemy's cav alry under Gen. J. E. B. Stuart about Brandy Station, Ste- vensburg, and Fleetwood, in one of the most memorable cavalry contests of the war. The battle lasted nearly the whole day, and although forced back across the river, with his dead and severely wounded left in the hands of the enemy. General Pleasonton captured despatches which clearly indicated plans for a Northern invasion, and to this extent, at least, he was successful. On the loth General Ewell left Culpeper with his corps, for the Shenandoah Valley, via Front Royal, to be followed later on by Longstreet and Hill, while on the nth General Hooker strongly picketed the Rappahannock as far up as Beverly's Ford with infantry, while his cavalry kept a sharp lookout beyond. On the 1 3th a part of Swell's corps invested Winchester and the last of Hill's corps left Fredcricksburg, while Gen eral Hooker, maneuvering to protect Washington, ordered the First, Third, Fifth, and Eleventh Corps to move toward Manassas, and the Second, Sixth and Twelfth to Dumfries. The Seventh Ohio left camp on the I3th at 8 p. M., and after an all-night march readied Dumfries early the next morning and remained during the day. Getting off very early on the morning of the I5th, the coqxs marched to Fair fax Court House, a long, hot,vand exhaustive march, as was shown by the death of fifteen men of Geary's division alone, having died along the road from fatigue and sunstroke. Rested on the i6th. On the 1 7th the Twelfth Corps marched to Dranesville. THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN 251 Also on June I7th General Pleasonton successfully engaged the enemy's cavalry under Gen. Fitzhugh Lee at Aldie, and Capt. William R. Sterling of Company I, Seventh Ohio, then on staff duty at General Hooker's headquarters at Fairfax Court House, with a Captain Fisher of the Signal Corps, .-UK] an orderly, were sent with despatches to General Pleasonton, but were captured while en route, by Mosby's guerrillas. It is said that when they learned into whose hands they had fallen Captain Sterling said : "We have laughed so much at our men for being gob bled up by Mosby, that we cannot help laughing at being caught ourselves." The following report is self-explanatory : "HEADQUARTERS PICKET RESERVE, "June 18, 1863 — 12 M. "LiEuT. JOHN M. CLARK, Acting Assistant Adjutant-Gen eral. "LIEUTENANT : In accordance with directions from the commanding officer of the brigade, I report the facts in re gard to the capture of Maj. William R. Sterling and Cap tain Fisher, as related to me by the people of the house where they were taken. Major Sterling and Captain Fisher were on their way to communicate with General Pleasonton, when they halted at the residence of Mr. Almond Birch for supper and to inquire how far it was to Aldie. Having fin ished their supper, they started for their horses, which were left with their orderly at the yard gate. The horses and orderly had been removed, and before Major Sterling and Captain Fisher had reached the gate, 10 or 12 cavalrymen seized them, and hurriedly mounted them and bore them off. This took place last evening at 10 o'clock about 400 yards from the picket outpost, at the house of Mr. Birch on the Little River turnpike. Mr. Birch and family are from Clifton Park, Saratoga County, N. Y. They are Union people, known to some of the officers of our regiment. I am satisfied that these people had no complicity with this 252 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY affair, and had no knowledge of the enemy being anywhere near their house. "The capture of these officers appears to have been as unexpected to the enemy as it was to the officers captured, since the enemy was unaware of our forces being so near. "I also report that I have reestablished the picket line, in some respects, since coming on duty this morning, so as among other points to include the house of Mr. Birch. "All is quiet upon the line. "I am most respectfully, your obedient servant, "JAMES C. RICE, "Colonel, Commanding Outposts." On the 1 8th the command reached Leesburg. As early as June 15 a part of EwelFs infantry crossed the Potomac at Williamsport, while his cavalry were as far north as Chambersburg. It was about this time that President Lin coln said to General Hooker: "If the head of Lee's army is at Martinsburg and the tail of it on the Plank road between Fredericksburg and Chan- cellorsville, the animal must be very thin somewhere. Could you not break him?" On the i Qth the Twelfth Corps was ordered out to wit ness the execution of three soldiers who had been tried by military court martial, convicted, and sentenced to be shot to death, by musketry, for desertion, and then marched past their lifeless bodies, in order that the enormity of their crime might be more emphatically and indelibly stamped upon our minds and consciences. On June 24 Longstreet and Hill crossed the Potomac at Shepherdstown and Williamsport, and reached Chambers- burg on the 27th. On the 26th the Twelfth Corps crossed the Potomac at Edward's Ferry. The Seventh marched through Pooles- ville to the Monocacy; on the 27th by Point of Rocks to Petersville, and on the 28th to near Frederick City. As the regiment filed off the pike into a field to bivouac for the THE: GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN 253 night, Colonel Creighton announced to his men that Maj.- Gen. Joseph Hooker had been relieved of the command of the Army of the Potomac, and had been succeeded by Maj.- Gen. George Gordon Meade, which to many suggested that this was like swapping horses while crossing a river. On the 29th the Twelfth Corps moved through Frederick, Walkersville, Woodsboro, and Bruceville, toward Taney- town, and passed that point the next day, reaching Littles- town that afternoon while J. E. B. Stuart's raiders were hurrying by on the road to York. On July i, under instructions from the Commanding General, General Slocum moved his corps from Littlestown to Two Taverns, there to await further orders, and was at this point about i o'clock when informed by a civilian pass ing that way that a battle was in progress beyond Gettys burg. Major Guindon, of his staff, with an escort of mounted orderlies, was sent to ascertain the truth of the story, but before he returned a message from General How ard confirmed the report, when orders were given to push forward. General Geary having the advance reached Ceme tery Hill in person by 4 p. M., when he was ordered by Gen eral Hancock to take position on the extreme left, to the right of and near Little Round Top, and General Geary states this movement was consummated at 5 p. M., and that night Little Round Top was occupied by the Fifth Ohio and One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania of Can dy's brigade while the other regiments bivouacked near by. Early on the morning of the 2cl Geary's division was re lieved by Birney's division of the Third Corps, and crossing to the right, went into position on Gulp's Hill, where sub stantial breastworks were constructed during the day. At 6 P. M. the Twelfth Corps, excepting Greene's brigade, was ordered to the left to assist in the repulse of Longstreet's corps, which had made successful aggressive battle against all the troops on that part of the line. Here General Geary mistook direction and moved back along the Baltimore pike across Rock Creek, where he remained until after midnight, when ordered to return to his former position, which had been occupied and was then held by the enemy. 254' SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY At early dawn the battle opened strong, about Gulp's Hill, and did not end until well on to n o'clock A. M., when the Twelfth Corps was again in full possession of its original line. That afternoon the attack of the troops under General Longstreet, in what is known as "Pickett's charge," was made against the center of the Union line, where after des perate lighting the enemy was repulsed with heavy loss and the battle of Gettysburg had ended. It is said that upon no part of the field were more men killed than about Gulp's Hill, where repeated charges were made, and repulsed by Geary's division and others engaged there. On July 4, 1863, by mutual consent the whole day was given to the burial of the dead and care of the wounded, while on the 5th it was learned that the Army of Northern Virgina had retreated. General Longstreet said : "The armies rested on the Fourth of July, one under the bright laurels secured by brave work of the day before, but in profound sorrow over the silent forms of the host of comrades who had fallen during those three fateful days, whose blood bathed the thirsty fields of Gettysburg, made classic by the most stupendous clash of conflict of that long and sanguinary war; while gentle rain came to mellow the sod that marked the honored rest of friend and foe: the other with broken spirits turned from fallen comrades to find safety away from the fields that had been so promising. "The Union forces had cast their lines on grounds too strong for lead and steel, and, exhausted alike of aggres sive force and means of protracted defense, there was nothing left for the vanquished but to march for distant homeward lines." "HEADQUARTERS, SEVENTH REGIMENT Q. V. I., "July 6, 1863. "LiEuT. A. H. W. CREIGH, "A. A. A. General ist Brigade, 2d Division, I2th A. C. "SiR : I have the honor to submit the following report THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN -255 of the part taken by the Seventh Ohio Volunteers in the engagement of July 2 and 3, 1863, near Gettysburg, Pa. On Thursday morning, July 2, we were encamped on the left side of the Gettysburg and Taneytown pike. At 6 o'clock A. M. we received marching orders, and at 6.30 moved out in line, changing our position on the hill at the right of the road. In obedience to your orders I sent for ward Company H, under command of Capt. Samuel Mc Clelland, to picket our front. They were posted along the stream which runs through the hollow at our left and re mained there until 6 o'clock p. M., when they rejoined my regiment. At this time the 'fall in' was sounded and my regiment, in company with the remainder of the brigade, moved by the right flank to the right and rear of the posi tion which we had held during the former part of the day. I formed my regiment in the open field in the rear of the stone wall at the left of and near the turnpike. At this place I allowed my men to sleep, having their arms and accouterments in perfect readiness to fall in at any moment. My regiment had not during any part of the day been ex posed to musketry fire, but for some time in the afternoon we were exposed to quite a brisk fire of artillery, although not suffering any serious loss from it. At half past n p. M., July 2, I was ordered to form my command. It was then moved under your directions out on to the pike and advancing toward Gettysburg, but turned from the pike to our right at the same place which we had in the morning when first advancing. My line was formed in the hollow at the right and in the rear of General Greene's brigade. At this place we received a volley of musketry from the ene my's guns, wounding one man from Company I. In a few moments we were ordered to move by the right flank back- to the open field, forming our line in the rear of a stone wall which runs parallel with the road leading to the pike. In a few moments, by order of General Geary, I moved my com mand over the wall into the road, throwing out to the front twenty men under charge of Sergeant Stratton to act as skirmishers. At this place Sergeant Stratton received a 256 - SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY severe if not a mortal wound.* Soon after daylight on the morning of the 3d, in compliance with your order, I drew in my skirmishers, and in a few moments moved my regi ment by the left flank back near the position which we oc cupied the morning previous. When in the edge of the woods, I formed my command in line of battle, and in com pliance with orders I moved forward 'double-quick' and re lieved the Sixtieth New York Volunteers. My regiment remained in the entrenchments until near 8 o'clock, when it was relieved by the Sixtieth New York Volunteers. When relieved I formed my regiment in the rear of the breast works, remaining until 9.30 o'clock, when I was again or dered forward to relieve a regiment. I was not again re lieved until 9.30 P. M., having been under fire of musketry most of the day. When relieved I again formed my line in the hollow and remained there until 1.30 A. M. on the morning of July 4th, when my command was again ordered forward to the entrenchments, which position we held until the brigade moved out on the pike preparatory to returning to Littlestown. About n o'clock on July 3, I observed a white flag thrown out from the rocks in front of our en trenchments and immediately ordered my men to cease fir ing, when 78 men of the enemy advanced and surrendered, including three captains, two first lieutenants and two sec ond lieutenants. At the time the white flag was raised a mounted officer, rebel, Maj. B. W. Leigh, General Edward Johnson's chief of staff, was seen to come forward and en deavor to stop the surrender, when he was fired upon by my men and immediately killed, t Early in the morning of July *A bullet tore an eye from its socket, but Sergeant Stratton re covered, rejoined his company, reenlisted as a veteran, and was killed in battle May 25, 1864, at New Hope Church, Georgia. fMajor Benjamin Watkins Leigh not only had the reputation of being one of the bravest and most fearless officers in Stonewall Jackson's command, but it is stated that at the battle of Chancellorsville, on May 2, 1863, when his chief was severely wounded and yet in the immediate presence of the Union forces, he used his own body as a shield to pro tect him from further harm.

The Seventh Ohio had the honor of being selected to scout our front in search of the enemy, as indicated by the following report : "CAMP NEAR GETTYSBURG, "July 5, 1863 — ii A. M. "GENERAL GEARY : I have the honor to report that, in pursuance of your order, I have this morning, with the Seventh Ohio Volunteers, under Colonel Crefghton, recon- noitered the country and roads for 2^ miles from the town in the directions of Hanover, Oxford, and Hunterstown. I proceeded as far toward Oxford as a house which the ene my's picket retired from early this morning, when I received your order to return to camp. I found citizens on the roads who had come this morning from Oxford and Hunters- town. "They report no enemy in sight along either of the roads. The general impression among the inhabitants in that vicin- front at Gulp's Hill on July 3, 1863, is shown by Colonel Creighton's official report. *See Casualty List, p. 645. 17 258 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY ity is that Lee's army has moved off by the Chambersburg route. "His cavalry rearguard left a house on the Hanover turnpike, i^ miles from Gettysburg, at 9 A. M., yesterday, after removing all their wounded who could be moved on horses and in ambulances. "Very respectfully, your obedient servant, "W. T. FORBES, "Acting Assistant Inspector-General." A FORCED MARCH TO THE BATTLEFIELD. "As we hurried along, the booming of cannon, at first scarcely heard, gradually became more distinct. Quicken ing our pace we pushed on through clouds of thick dust which continually rolled back, enveloped and almost choked us, while the terrible rays of the sun seemed momentarily to grow more intense. Soon strong men began to stagger from the ranks and fall fainting by the wayside, but our pace was not slackened. Louder and fiercer boomed the yet distant guns, and 'Forward, men ; forward !' shouted the officers. Every piece of woods we passed through was left almost filled with gasping, prostrate men ; and all along the road, with no one to care for them, lay the dying, and in not a few instances the dead, who had fallen from the column ahead of us. But forward, forward ! was the cry, and on, on we pushed. Blankets, tents, clothing, and even food, guns, and cartridge-boxes, lay strewn along the line of march. Two-thirds of the time our field and staff officers were dismounted, and their horses loaded down with the guns of men who had become too weak to carry them, and when at length we reached the high ground just south of Gettysburg, and the order to halt for the night was received, not over one hundred men, and but five or six officers, ap peared in our regimental line." (Col. Charles H. Weygant, One Hundred1 and Twenty-fourth N. Y. Infantry, Second Brigade, First Division, Third Corps.) CHAPTER XXVIII. i i • I, /-':. THE RETURN FROM GETTYSBURG. On July 5, when it became known that the enemy had withdrawn from about Gettysburg in the direction of Ha- gerstown, the Army of the Potomac at once started in pur suit. The Twelfth Corps moved back along the Baltimore pike to Littlestown, where it remained during the next day, but getting off on the 7th, at 4.30 A. M., it covered 27 miles in the direction of Frederick City, over the same route by which it had advanced, passing that point on the 8th, to Jefferson, having seen the body of a spy hanging to the limb of a tree where he had been executed by our troops while en route. On the Qth the command moved through Burkettsville and Crampton's Gap toward Boonesboro; camped upon the battlefield of Antietam on the loth, and on the night of the nth bivouacked in line of battle in front of the Army of Northern Virginia, toward Williamsport, where the Poto mac River was bank full and General Lee unable to cross. On the 1 2th moved up about a mile and on the I3th fell back some distance and began to entrench. A general ad vance was ordered on the morning of the I4th, when it was discovered that the main force of the enemy had crossed the Potomac during the night, and that all prospect of doing him serious harm had vanished. Pursuit was at once ordered, and on the night of the 1 5th the Twelfth Corps bivouacked near Harper's Ferry; crossed the Potomac at that point the next day; reached Hillsboro on the igth; Snicker's Gap on the 2Oth; Ashby's Gap and beyond on the 23d ; Manassas Gap and then along the Manassas Gap Railroad on the 24th ; then through Thoroughfare Gap, Haymarket, Gainesville, and to Catlett's Station by the 26th, making camp near Warrenton Junc tion on the 27th, where a brief rest was had. 260 SISVSNTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY On the 3 ist Candy's brigade moved to Kelly's Ford on the Rappahannock, where the Sixty-sixth Ohio crossed the river in boats and guarded the front until a pontoon bridge was laid, when the Seventh went to their support and was on picket duty that night. When General Lee crossed the Potomac near Williamsport on the night of July 13 he was prevented by the prompt movements of General Meade, along the eastern side of the Blue Ridge, from resting and refreshing his exhausted and defeated army in the land of plenty, the beautiful and productive Shenandoah Valley, and was compelled to hasten Longstreet's corps to prevent a serious attack in flank near Front Royal while en route to Culpeper through Chester Gap, while a part of his army was forced to march by Strasburg, New Market, L,uray, and Thornton's Gap, ere it could take position behind the Rappahannock, toward the Rapidan. On August i the Seventh recrossed the Rappahannock at Kelly's Ford, and on the 2cl moved some four miles toward Hartwood Church. On the 5th all sick and dis abled soldiers were ordered to be sent to the rear. Al though the armies under Generals Grant and Meade had won great victories at Vicksburg and Gettysburg on or about July 4, 1863, causing universal joy among all who believed in battling for the preservation of the Union of States, yet many loyal people were greatly alarmed about this time at the development and strength of the anti-prose cution of the war spirit in the great State of New York, where threatened opposition to the enforcement of the draft was openly made, and mob spirit prevailed in places to such an extent as to be uncontrollable by the civil authorities, hence it became necessary, as a matter of reasonable pre caution, to send armed troops from the Army of the Po tomac to maintain peace and order and see that the law, in reference to drafting, be duly executed. CHAPTER XXIX. THE SEA VOYAGE TO NEW YORK CITY AND BACK. With the foregoing explanation, the following orders are self-explanatory: "HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, "August 15, 1863 — 9.15 P. M. "MAj.-GEN. H. W. SLOCUM, "Commanding Twelfth Army Corps: "The Commanding General directs that the following regiments of your command proceed to Alexandria to morrow, under the command of Brig.-Gen. T. H. Ruger, for service, with the nature of which you are acquainted, viz : Second Massachusetts, Third Wisconsin, Twenty- seventh Indiana, and Fifth, Seventh, Twenty-ninth, and Sixty-sixth Ohio Regiments. You will please send the One Hundred and Seventh New York Regiment if you think it advisable to do so. "The regiments will march to Rappahannock Station, where railroad transportation will be furnished them. No supplies will be taken. The transportation now with the regiments will be turned over to Captain Pierce,, Assistant Quartermaster, at his depot near these headquarters. "S. WIUJAMS, "Assistant Adjutant-General." "HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, "August 16, 1863 — 10.30 A. M. "MAj.-GEN. H. W. HAI^ECK, "General-in-Chief : "The following regiments will proceed to Alexandria to-day under the command of Brig.-Gen. T. H. Ruger, viz : Second Massachusetts, Third Wisconsin, Twenty-seventh Indiana, Fifth Ohio, Seventh Ohio, Twenty-ninth Ohio, 262 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY Sixth-sixth Ohio, Fourth Ohio, Fourteenth Indiana, Fifth Michigan, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Ohio. Aggre gate strength of these regiments is about 3,800. General Ruger has been directed to report to you by telegraph on arriving at Alexandria, for further instructions, and also by telegraph to the Quartermaster-General for transporta tion. "The number of men already detached and who have left are as follows : August 14, Regulars and Vermont brigade, under General Ayers, 4,000; August 15, regiments, 1,800; August 16, Ruger's command, 3,800; making in all 9,200, which, when swollen by convalescents and men detached on extra duty (who will be sent as soon as possible), will make the aggregate force fully up to and over 10,000. I do not propose, without further orders, to send any more. I have sent you my best troops and some of my best officers. "GEORGE G. MEADE, "Major-General Commanding." On August 1 5th the Seventh was ordered to be ready to move on the morrow. On the 1 6th left camp and marched to Rappahannock Station, where it took cars for Alexandria, arriving at 6 p. M. We were paid off on the I7th, and on the 22d em barked upon the great ocean steamer Baltic, with other regi ments, which was novel and interesting to the great mass of the soldiers, who had never before seen a boat of such huge dimensions. On the 23d the Baltic left Alexandria under seemingly favorable auspices, but had proceeded but a few miles when she ran aground off Aquia Creek, where, despite the frantic efforts of tugs, scows, high tide, etc., she remained until i P. M. of the 27th, and then pro ceeded on her way down the Potomac, through the Chesa peake Bay, past Fortress Monroe, into Old Ocean, and headed for New York City. This was to the majority of those on board a delightful ride, which was only marred in some instances by exceeding nausea and paying tribute to Old Neptune. SEA VOYAGE TO NEW YORK CITY 263 On the morning of the 29th this great vessel approached New York Harbor, was boarded by a pilot, and safely pass ing through the Narrows and past Forts Columbus and Hamilton, anchored off Governors Island, whither the Seventh and others encamped. "HEADQUARTERS, U. S. TROOPS IN CITY AND HARBOR, "New York, August 29, 1863. "Special Orders, No. 40. "The Fifth Michigan Infantry, and the Fifth, Seventh, Twenty-ninth and Sixty-Sixth Ohio Infantry, now on board the steamer Baltic, expected to arrive in course of the afternoon, will be attached to the Second Brigade, Brig.- Gen. Thomas H. Ruger commanding, and will, for the present, be stationed on Governors Island. "Requisitions will be made as soon as practicable for such camp and garrison equipage as these regiments may need. "By order of Brig.-Gen. Canby. "C. T. CHRISTENSEN, "A. A. G." The entire Second Brigade, under command of Brig.- Gen. Thomas H. Ruger in the Department of the East, in August, 1863, consisted of the Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, • Eighth, Twenty-ninth, Sixty-sixth, One Hundred and Tenth, One Hundred and Twenty-second, and One Hun dred and Twenty-sixth Ohio; Fourteenth and Twenty- seventh Indiana; Third, Fifth, and Seventh Michigan; Second Massachusetts; Third Wisconsin, and First Min nesota Infantry, and Second Connecticut Battery. The draft took place in New York City on August 3ist, and in some parts of the State, on September 7th, peaceably. On September 8th the Seventh, after a pleasant week on Governors Island, reembarked upon the steamer Baltic and on the nth reached Alexandria, Virginia, once more, and 264 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY bivouacked in the suburbs, the return trip from New York City having been made without any unusual incident. On the 1 3th the return march to the front began. Marched only 8 miles. On the 1 4th passed Fairfax Court House and Centerville toward Manassas. On the 1 5th passed Manassas, Broad Run, and Bristow, to Catlett's; the i6th to Brandy Station beyond the Rappa- hannock, and on the I7th rejoined Geary's division near Raccoon Ford on the Rapidan. The next day the entire corps fell in to witness the execu tion of a couple of deserters. This was a most unpleasant and trying ordeal under any circumstances, but when the execution, as in this case, was conducted in a bungling and unnecessarily cruel manner, it was horrible in the extreme. On the 1 9th the entire army in that section was seriously startled and alarmed by extended firing of small arms to our left rear, indicating for the time being a flank attack. Bugles sounded from various headquarters, aides dashed hither and thither to get troops in line of battle, when it was learned that a division of cavalry, just in from a scout, were unloading their carbines. It is to be hoped that the Recording Angel has long since torn out and destroyed for ever and ever his record of the extremely warm and positive oaths that he must have been obliged to record that evening against many of the bravest and best soldiers that ever went to war. CHAPTER XXX. FROM THE RAPIDAN TO WAUHATCHIK BY CAPT. GEO. A. McKAY. While lying near the Rapidan River, Virginia, September 20, 1863, the Seventh Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry was inspected by Lieut. George A. McKay, A. A. I. G., First Brigade, Second Division, Twelfth Army Corps, who found ordnance and camp and garrison equipage in first- class order and so reported. The inspection was prepara tory to a movement to the Southwest on account of the de feat of General Rosecrans at Chickamauga, Tennessee, and had been ordered by Col. Chas. Candy, Commanding Bri gade. The Eleventh and Twelfth Corps, commanded re spectively by Major-Generals Howard and Slocum, were ordered to reinforce the defeated army at Chattanooga, both corps being placed under Maj.-Gen. Joe. Hooker. September 21 to 23, the regiment remained in camp. Oc casionally one or more of the command would stroll down to the river to view the landscape over, and were not inter fered with by the Southerners, providing they did not try to cross the stream. September 24 marched to Brandy Station, Virginia. The march was a disagreeable one. September 25, the regiment was paid off, the men receiv ing such amounts as were left after the sutler got his share, as his bills against the soldier were always paid by the pay master before the soldier received anything. September 26, marched to Bealton Station, Virginia, at which place, September 27, the regiment was loaded on cars ready for a movement West. After being loaded on the cars the military superintendent would not allow the cars to go forward, as he had not been consulted as to how equi page and troops should be loaded. He spoke to the A. A. I. 266 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY G. of the brigade, who had, pursuant to orders from his commanding officer, loaded the troops and paraphernalia, ordering him to unload everything and everybody. Instead of doing as requested, he asked the irate railroader if the loading was not satisfactory. The answer was yes, but that no orders had been given by him and whatever had been done in consequence \vas wrong. The A. A. I. G. po litely declined to do what was required and referred the worthy superintendent to his superior officer. After a while the railroader cooled off and the train was allowed to pro ceed on its way to Washington, where there was a delay of about an hour, and the soldiers left the cars in skirmishing order after wet and dry goods. What they wanted they got. The regiment remained on the train, occasionally stop ping for coffee and provisions, until the 3Oth, when they arrived at Benwood, Virginia, and immediately crossed the Ohio River to Bellaire, Ohio, where they encountered for the first time a so-called "copperhead." The officers, hav ing no regular rations distributed to them, were to a certain extent dependent on the different stoppages in transit for provisions, and went up to the hotel where several of Gen eral Morgan's cavalry officers were on parole, and ordered breakfast. The proprietor of the hotel said that he would not feed any of Lincoln's hirelings. Colonel Creighton, who was one of the party, gave him ten minutes to get the breakfast on the table or have his house ripped up from top to bottom. Before the time allowance expired everything necessary was on the table and no blood shed or property destroyed. I do not suppose that proprietor did any more bluffing for that day, as it came very near being an ex pensive one for him. The regiment left for Columbus, Ohio, arriving there at 6 o'clock A. M., October i, leaving there inside of half an hour for Indianapolis, Indiana, reaching there at 6 P. M. October 2, where a great many officers and soldiers visited the County Fair Grounds and other places where liquids were the principal product. October 3, reached Jeffersonville, Indiana, crossing the FROM THE) RAPIDAN TO WAUHATCHIE VAU,3Y 267 river at once for Louisville, Kentucky. Part of the officers stopped off at the latter-named place and went to the Gault House for a square meal. They got it all right, and at the same time got left, as the train for the regiment was made up and left for Nashville, Tennessee, at i p. M., arriving there on the 4th, the missing officers putting in an appear ance when they could get there, as on October 5 we received notice that Generals Forrest and Wheeler were on a raid in our rear, destroying property, bridges, etc. When at Tulla- homa, seeing a great cloud of dust, we imagined that they had struck us, but found out on a careful reconnaissance that it was occasioned by a drove of beef cattle for our army plodding along the road in our rear. On the 6th were loaded on cars at 3 p. M. and ran down to Duck River, where we found; the bridge destroyed and the Southern troops hovering all around us. On the 7th marched to Wartrace, and were engaged in scouting in various directions until the nth, when we re turned to Wartrace Bridge. On the 1 3th an election was held for Governor, and Brough received the unanimous vote of the regiment. On the 1 4th returned to Wartrace, where we remained until the 27th, when we were relieved by the Third Wis consin. On the 28th the regiment was loaded on cars for Bridge port, Alabama. While in transit had an accident, the en gine and cars being ditched at Decherd, but no one injured. While stopping at Stevenson a train consisting of wagons and mules came over the mountains from Chattanoog'a with loo guards. They had been on quarter rations for about three months, and looked fearfully weak and emaciated. The brother of the writer was in command and he wanted to borrow money enough to take the boys up to the hotel and give them a square meal and incidentally get one him self. He was told to get his men together and march them to the hotel. When they arrived there they were formed in columns of two and marched in, and were supplied with all the pork, hard tack, pickles and coffee which they could eat, 268 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY at a cost of one dollar and fifty cents each. The writer paid the bill with the greatest of pleasure in the world, and it was worth the money to see the boys eat. Incidentally I would remark that the brother did not whack up, nor was it ex pected either. On the 3Oth we marched to Shell Mound in a heavy rain storm, reaching there cold, wet, and hungry. On the 3 ist we marched to Wauhatchie, reaching there during the night, and went into camp near Gen. John W. Geary's headquarters. November i and 2, part of the regiment were engaged in scouting under command of Lieut-Col. Orrin J. Crane. November 4 to 16, mostly engaged in trading coffee and hardtack for bacon and tobacco with L,ongstreet's men from the Rapidan. November 17, Gen. W. T. Sherman's troops arrived from Vicksburg, Mississippi. On the 22d regiments ordered to fall in and occupy the position of the Eleventh Army Corps, which had been or dered to Chattanooga. November 23, division partially inspected, everything found in good order. The only casualty in the Seventh now recalled as having occurred while being transferred from Virginia to Ten nessee happened at Grafton, West Virginia, on the 2Qth of September, when St. Onge Mitchell (familiarly known throughout the regiment as "Santa") of Company B, fell under the cars and had a leg crushed. CHAPTER XXXI. THE BATTLE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. BY CAPT. GEO. A. McKAY. Our division from the time they arrived in the Wau- hatchie Valley had gazed in astonishment on the rocky face of Lookout Mountain, and if they had been asked the question as to the practicability of carrying it by storm would have scouted at the idea. Some of our generals thought otherwise, notably Grant and Hooker. The latter stated often, that in his opinion it could be carried by a rapid movement by assaulting columns. General Grant was also imbued with the same idea, and when all of his plans were made and >the troops for which he had called for were well in hand he ordered' it to be car ried into effect. From the time our division arrived in the valley our main duties had been scouting and picket duty. While on picket duty our men were stationed on one side of Lookout Creek and the rebels on the other, being only a short distance apart, and became quite friendly with each other, trading coffee and hardtack for bacon, corn-pone, and tobacco. While on picket duty, unless there was an advance of skir mishers, it was very seldom that pickets fired on each other ; but if there was an advance that was a different proposi tion. This deadlock continued until 3 o'clock on the morning of the 24th of November, 1863, when Gen. John W. Geary, commanding the Second Division, Twelfth Army Corps, received orders from Maj.-Gen. Joe. Hooker to cross Look out Creek and to assault Lookout Mountain, marching down the valley, and to sweep every rebel from it. At that time the line of the division extended from the confluence of Lookout Creek and the Tennessee River on the left to the top of Raccoon Mountain on the right, and consisted of 141 270 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOI/UNTEER INFANTRY officers and 2,216 men present for duty. One day's rations and the usual 100 rounds of ammunition were issued to the men, when in light marching order they moved to Wau- hatchie Railroad Junction and were joined by General Whittaker, of Thomas's corps, with his brigade, consisting of no officers and 1,355 enlisted men, making the total ef fective force at that point 251 officers and 3,573 men. Crossing the railroad at Wauhatchie Junction the troops named above were marched under cover of the trees to a point back of an old mill situated about two and one-half miles from the mouth of the creek and were massed behind a hill. Drifting clouds enveloped the mountain top, heavy mists and fogs obscured the slope from lengthened vision until we reached the summit. The creek being too deep to ford, it was bridged and skir mishers sent across and engaged the enemy, driving them back, capturing 42 prisoners. The bridge was crossed at 8.30 A. M. Moving rapidly by a flank up the mountainside in a direct lirie for the palisades, arriving there, line of battle was formed by the left flank, facing the front. The report made by Gen. John W. Geary officially to Maj.-Gen. Hooker gave the following as the formation of his division and supports : "Cobham on the right with two regiments, Ireland in the center with four regiments, Candy on the left, in echelon, at about 30 paces' interval to the troops on the right, with the Sixty-sixth Ohio and three companies of the Fifth Ohio, in echelon, as reserve. Constituting the front line, covering the slopes from the mound of the crest to Lookout Creek. There was a supporting line 350 yards in the rear of the front line, consisting of General Whitaker's brigade, the right resting opposite Cobham's center. About 100 yards in rear of the supporting line were placed the Ninety-sixth Illinois and Fifty-first Ohio as a support of both lines. "This formation was observed throughout the movement to the farthest point gained on the mountain, with the ex ception of necessary changes in Candy's movements on the left." BATTLE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN 271 The artillery under supervision of Maj. J. A. Reynolds, chief of artillery for Geary's division, supported the move ment of the infantry columns, and consisted of Knap's Pennsylvania Battery; Battery K, First Ohio Regiment; Fourth Ohio Battery; Battery I, New York Artillery, and First Iowa Battery, the batteries being well posted in numerous commanding positions west of Lookout Creek, and when required opened on the enemy's entrenchments, shelling continuously the skirmishers and lines of battle of the enemy, doing good work, which assisted in every way the advance of the infantry. It is with Candy's brigade (which consisted of the Fifth, Seventh, Twenty-ninth and Sixty-sixth Ohio, and Twenty- eighth and One Hundred and Forty-seventh Penn sylvania, although the Fifth and Twenty-ninth were not en gaged in all of the movements, being on picket duty, and guarding prisoners) that I will have to do mostly, as the Seventh Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry belonged to this brigade, of which I was an officer, and I can only answer for what I saw myself. The inclination of the mountain is from north by east to south by west. We swept the westerly slope from this point, about three miles south of the dividing ridge between the east and west sides of the mountain, known as Point Lookout. A heavy line of skirmishers advanced, covering the whole front of the line of battle. The flanks were pro tected on the right by the palisade and on the left by Look out Creek, and they could not be turned. Shortly after 9 o'clock the whole line moved forward, the right keeping in close contact with the rugged precipice of the summit, gradually swerving our advance in an oblique direction from the creek, lengthening the line for cover on the left, changing Candy's formation from echelon to two lines. General Geary ordered the left brigade to govern its movements by those of the front line on the right, the ex treme left resting near the creek, the guide being the upper curvature of the mountain. 272 S!}V£NTH R£GIM£NT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY The right, center, and right of the left brigade made a rapid advance over the steep sides of the mountain, which, breaking into numerous ravines varying from 50 to 100 feet in depth, were overcome by clambering with hands as well as feet in many places. The enemy's rifle-pits at the base of the mountain, not far from the mouth of Lookout Creek, were carried with a rush and hurrah, uncovering the fords and allowing rein forcements to cross, consisting of Grose's brigade of Cruft's division, Thomas's corps, and Osterhaus's division of Sher man's corps, numbering 5,857 effectives, including officers. This reinforcement brought up the total effectives to 9,681 men. After uncovering the fords, and the reserves gaining a footing, General Geary ordered Candy's brigade to execute a "half wheel" converging on the objective point, sweeping up the mountain at an oblique angle to the main line, head ing for Point Lookout. After progressing about one and one-fourth miles the enemy's pickets were encountered by the fight and center. Our skirmishers engaging them, they were driven on their main body within a camp covering the whole plateau in front of the left of our right and center, formidable in natural defense and seemingly impregnable with rocks, stone and earthworks, surrounded with tangled slashings. These were the advanced works of a continuous network of fortifications — rugged, natural, and artificial ir regular polygons — within which was WalthalFs brigade of Mississippians, in line of battle. Our whole line, with bayo nets fixed, charged on the double-quick. Regardless of the sharpshooters in the gorges and from the crest and the heavy firing in front, the men of the First, Second and Third Brigades made a vigorous assault, carry ing the enemy's entrenchments, and the brigade laid down its arms and surrendered, along with four battle-flags. The prisoners were despatched to the rear. As soon as this was done the line pressed forward in its original formation. The obstructions met at every step showed how a small, de termined force could have resisted a vastly superior one. OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN 273 The sharpshooters of the enemy in the gorges, trees, and on the cliffs were especially venomous, and many were killed and wounded. The fortified approaches toward us and on a line with the overhanging ledge of the point above were occupied by a brigade of Alabamians and Georgians under command of General Moore. Before reaching their position our right encountered the almost perpendicular pyramid of Lookout Point. As we rounded the curvature between the lower and uppermost ridges the line obliqued to the right continuously but stead ily, as became veterans. The movement brought us to the most elevated accessible point of the mountain, short of the crest itself. While making the curve a rebel regiment was encountered and captured. Then our troops, with a yell, charged the fortifications held by the Alabamians and Georgians, killing, wounding, and capturing nearly the whole of the brigade. During this fight the enemy opened with artillery fire from the crest, trying to enfilade our line, but could not de press their pieces enough, although their shells and solid shot tore through the tops of the trees, the limbs and branches of which were hurled down the ravines. Shells with very short fuses were fired, but burst with trivial effect over the heads of Candy's brigade, which, unseen by the enemy, was sweeping up the steep declivity just below the palisades. Shells and hand grenades were hurled from the cliffs among the troops in the front line and their support, but were mainly ineffective. The front line of the enemy wavered and then broke into flight, our men following with a fierce hurrah. Clouds and mists hovered over us and fogs darkened the hills below. Our troops breasted the dividing point, swept around the slope of the mountain upon the double-quick, charging the retreating foe. The completion of this movement rendered each of the long lines of works and rifle-pits of the enemy untenable. 18 274 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY Peters's brigade, standing behind a stone wall, engaged our troops, making things lively for us, but a sudden dash of our division carried the wall, capturing two pieces of artil lery and hundreds of prisoners, near the Craven house. About 500 yards beyond Craven's house, in front of the Mountain road, the enemy appeared in heavy force, consist ing of troops from Walker's and Stevenson's divisions, and upon this column the retreating rebels rallied. Our troops engaged them at once. The enemy made several charges, but were repulsed. While so engaged the fog settled down until it was almost impossible to see or to be seen, and it continued the balance of the day. Our troops were still striving for the old road leading from the mountain into Chattanooga Valley, with every prospect of securing it, when orders were received at 12.30 p. M. to halt and strengthen our position. The Seventh Regiment Ohio and One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania of Candy's brigade were thrown to the front to support and relieve the brigade on our right, they being completely out of ammunition. While here the right of the Seventh was at the palisades, and the rebel sharpshooters made it very warm for the two regi ments for a while until they could reciprocate. At this time Col. W. R. Creighton, of the Seventh Ohio, was in com mand of the brigade, Candy having been injured by a fall on the rocks. Creighton's brigade relieved Ireland's brigade, and while so relieving they received several heavy volleys from the enemy, which were returned with interest. An irregular and desultory fire was kept up by the enemy during the afternoon, without any serious loss. At 3 o'clock the rebels massed a heavy force under the cliff on our extreme right, but this was routed by tlv; Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania. At 3.30 o'clock Creighton's brigade was relieved by the Thirteenth Illinois and Fourth Iowa, and at different times during the night brigades re lieved each other. No fires were allowed on the front line during the night, GEARY'S DIVISION FLAG BATTED OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN 275 and the troops suffered severely from the cold. During the night provisions and ammunition were distributed to the troops. After dark Osterhaus's division and Grose's brigade formed a junction with Geary's command near the Craven house, having captured several hundred troops while march ing up the mountain. Our colors were planted on Point Lookout in the morn ing of November 25, the enemy having evacuated their posi tion during the night, leaving camps, equipage, arms, and stores in profusion. Many stragglers from the ranks of the enemy wandered into our lines, having lost their commands during the fog. General Geary's report shows the different positions around Lookout Mountain as follows : "The position of the enemy on the western slope of the mountain was Walthall's and Moore's brigades of Walker's division of Folk's old corps, commanded by Hardee, the former in fortifications on the side of the mountain, about one and one-half miles from our point of crossing, the lat ter in works, under and around the peak. "On the eastern slope, near the old Mountain road, were two of Walker's brigades, strengthened by a portion of Stewart's command of Breckinridge's corps. One brigade of Stevenson's division was stationed in the works on top to the rear of the point. "Brown's and Cumming's brigades of the same division were fortified about one and one-half miles from the poiiv high up on the mountain overlooking Chattanooga and near Summerville, another of Stevenson's brigades was on the descent of the Nickajack trace." ! ' " i General Geary reported the capture of 2 pieces of artil lery and 1,940 men by his command. The official report of the rebels shows a loss of 1,281 men. "And the red field was won."* *See Casualty List, p. 645. 276 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY The following piece of poetry, written by Comrade Levi F. Bauder, of Company B, Seventh Regiment O. V. I., on the storming of Lookout, properly becomes a part of this history. THE RIGHT FLANK AT LOOKOUT. Chattanooga sent northward a cry of distress, For the men of the Cumberland, famished and gaunt, Worn with fighting and vigils and tattered in dress, Manned their guns in the trenches in peril and want ; For the foe closely pressed them in hostile array, And their guns shrieked and thundered in demon-like glee, While old Lookout's rock front, lined with soldiers in rra Threw its shadows of death o'er the blue Tennessee. But on wings of the lightning that cry for help flew, To Sherman, to Meade, and from captain to man ; And from Vicksburg marched Sherman's long column in blue ; And grim Hooker's tried corps, from the swift Rapidan, Came with bread for the famished, with lead for the foe. Gleamed Wauhatchie's sweet vale with their bayonets bright ; Torn and bleeding, the ferry guards reeled at their blow, And dismayed up the mountain side fled in affright. But the Bar flag still flaunted on Lookout's high peak, In defiance above the bright stripes in the vale ; And the iron shells hurtling with insolent shriek Scarred the great antlered oaks in that beautiful dale. In the night, lines of watch-fires on Lookout's sides, Gleamed like comets bespangling the eastern sky, While the shouts from the heights in derision defied The threatened assault for the mastery. OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN 277 Through the fog shroud no bugle call echoed that morn From the hills in the vale, or the mount's rocky side, But swift couriers silently mounted to ride, In the darkness, through thicket and stubble of corn, To the camps ; and battalions, in whispering tones, Heard, and fell into ranks with accouterments bright; And the strapping of knapsacks, and loading of guns, Spoke of marching and battle at dawn of the light. Through the mist moves the long, silent column, now Like a giant snake nearing its dreaming prey Fast asleep in their huts on the mountain's brow, And no glitter or sound does the peril betray. Hear ye that ? On the left flank the signal guns crash, Now the picket shots patter, the batteries boom ! On the right, the troops over the mill-dam dash, Unseen and unheard in the mountainside's gloom. Forward the right flank ! but fire not a gun, Double-quick, double-quick, now on the run ! Gibraltar is ours if we first reach the top ; A year more of war if they force us to stop ! On, on, for your comrades famish for bread ; Forward, for Knoxville still trembles with dread ! Up — over brushwood and rock and ravine, Routing the pickets from watch-fire and screen, Hindered by laurel-bush, cane-brake and log, Still firing no shot, but through the dense fog, Breathless, but desperate, upward we climb, For victory hinges on moments of time. Up, to the precipice guarding the top, Not till they reach the great wall do they stop ; Then, forming in battle line, onward they sweep Along the great slope of the mountain's scarred steep. Still onward, like fox hounds freed from the leash, Though the quick bullets thud in the quivering flesh — Onward they fight — till a glance of the sun Bathes with glory the flags on a battlefield won. 278 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY And the Cumberland army, in breathless suspense, Heard the battle's fierce roar in the fog-cloud dense ; Now clearer — now fainter — no waver — now stop, Repulsed ? Or held Hooker,- in triumph, the top ? Weak yet with fasting, but with eyes flashing fight, They watched long in vain that mist-mantled height, Till a rift in the cloud showed the mountain top's crag, And like Constantine's cross, in the sky gleamed a flag ! But which ? Ah, the shout that along the line flew, As it showed first the Stripes, then the Star-sprinkled blue! 'Twas a tale of sweet love that torn banner there told, Like the star in the east in Bethlehem Old ; 'Twas an emblem of hope to that suffering host, Like the star of the North to the mariner lost ; 'Twas a signal of faith, like the beacon's bright light, Safely guiding the ship to the harbor at night ; 'Twas a scepter of power ; as upheld on the heights, It unfurled its silk folds in the sight of six States ; A forerunner of vengeance to enemies all, Like the writing of old on the King's palace wall ; And from that day to this, that dear Flag of the Free, To the walls of Atlanta, and thence to the sea, To the fields where surrendered the columns of Lee, Ever fluttered in triumph. May God in His might Ever keep the old Flag in the pathway of right. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. BY WM. Forward ! up the mountain, rugged and steep Our columns unfaltering, fearlessly sweep Higher and higher; Up from the valleys gloaming beneath, Up to the batteries freighted with death, Onward they dash, OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN 279 And the mist on the mountain grows dark and thick With the battle's wild breath, and loud and quick Rifles and cannon crash, While the lines of their fire Show the struggle grows fiercer apace. Charge ! Men of the East there, and men of the West, Charge shoulder to shoulder, and breast square with breast, And shout deep and wild as the Ocean's loud roar, When he strikes his grand hymn from the keys of the shore, To the order replies ; and streaming on high L,ike God's bow of promise set in the sky, Floats the flag of the free. Brave men are swept down as forest leaves strewn ; The harvest is ripe which the demon had sown, Death revels in glee. Each brow's firmly knit, not a dastard is there, For the blood of the slain went up in the air, And they felt the proud words of the old Scottish chief, "To-day for revenge and to-morrow for grief." They are lost to the sight, and the pitying cloud Covers foeman and friend in its mantling shroud, As though God from the eyes of His children would hide The hell which they make through their passion and pride. Still the roar of the battle, The musketry's rattle, The blast of the bugle, the peals of the drum, O'er the din of the strife, crying, "Come, come, come !" Sweep down wild and loud, Yet seem higher and higher. The conflict has ended. May Heaven guard the right. May we see the dawn clear from this tempest's dark night ; From fortress and camp an army's stern gaze Strives vainly to pierce the still deepening haze. No answer comes back on the crisp frosty air To the anguishing cry, "Is our banner still there?" 280 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY But silent and grim as a giant at rest, With the sun on his brow and the clouds on his breast, The mountain stands lone, From base unto crest. Now grandly the cloud-drifts are lifted on high, And Lookout stands crowned with the smiles of the sky. What means the wild cheer from the legions beneath ? Look on high, and be answered — thou man of weak faith. See from the highest peak proudly unfurled Waves our "star-flowering banner — the hope of the world"— There where the eagles their eyries have made, There where the lightning and Storm King have played, It waveth forever. Its glory is shed o'er the living and slain, Who baptized it anew in life's ruby rain, Deserted it never. And while for these heroes sculpture and song The tale of their valor through the ages prolong, That river, their poet, in its waters sings by, That mountain, their monument, points to the sky Forever and ever. Louisville, March i, 1864. CHAPTER XXXII. MISSIONARY RIDGS. BY CAPT. GEO. A. McKAY. Shortly after 10 o'clock on the morning of the 25th, our division, preceded by Osterhaus's and Cruft's divisions, marched down the mountain toward Missionary Ridge, upon the left of which the rebel troops withdrawn from Lookout and Chattanooga valleys during the night were posted, extending the Southern lines, their left resting on the ridge, within 6 miles of Lookout Mountain. Moving into Chattanooga Valley, the divisions took the route of the rebel retreat on the road to Rossville, crossing Chattanooga Creek, after being delayed nearly three hours in repairing the bridge partially destroyed by the enemy. Our advance was disputed by artillery fire from the gap, but the enemy were driven back and one gun captured. When near Rossville our column turned to the left and followed the base of Missionary Ridge in a northeasterly direction, the ridge running northeast and southwest. The roar of cannon and musketry was continuous where the left of our army was engaged. General Geary reports : "Cruft advanced to reach the crest and sweep its line, Osterhaus moved down the eastern base, and our division and five batteries under Major Reynolds advanced along the western base, parallel to the enemy's front, and toward their right so rapidly that there was considerable of a gap between Cruft's advance and ours, as his movements were bitterly contested. "Creighton's and Cobham's brigades were sent forward along the base in columns of regiments. Ireland supported the artillery which had opened upon the flank and rear of the enemy's lines, forcing them back, pressed by Cruft on the ridge and Osterhaus on the eastern line. 282 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOUJNT££R INFANTRY "The artillery pouring in a heavy fire our division was formed in a column of brigades, with the Seventh deployed as skirmishers, Creighton in front, and Cobham in the sec ond line, and scaled the craggy side of the ridge, moving obliquely to effect a junction with Palmer's right, just gain ing the top half a mile north of us and two miles from the gap." The troops of our division were filled with enthusiasm at the sight of the rebels retreating and the sound of inces sant cannonading and musketry, and had to be held in leash to keep their movements in touch with other commands. The lines on the top of the ridge rushed madly forward, cheering wildly. The echoes from below exceeded in vol ume those above, but all pressed forward gallantly. On all sides were found arms and equipments abandoned by the fleeing enemy, now on the run, occasioned by the pressure from our division on their flank and in the rear by our artillery. Our skirmishers advanced, firing rapidly, followed by Creighton and Cobham up the steep and cragged sides of the ridge. The ascent was steep and difficult to overcome, but it was done at last. Our division gained the summit, Johnson's division of the Fourteenth Corps the adjoining cliff on our left. Our division holding at bay a rebel brigade trying to escape, the junction was completed. We held the left of the ridge at 6 p. M., together with Stuart's brigade of Breckin- ridge's corps. The whole army was successful and Mission ary Ridge was ours. General Geary reports : "The combined movements on the left gave us many prisoners and several pieces of artillery. Maj.-Gen. Hooker was personally present and he was greeted with prolonged cheering by his victorious troops. Pursuant to his orders we descended to the western base of the ridge and bivouacked in the enemy's winter quarters. Several hun dred prisoners were captured during the night, besides those captured during the day." MISSIONARY RIDGE 283 At 10 o'clock on the morning of the 26th, our division marched through Rossville Gap in a southeasterly direction. We were in rear of Osterhaus's division and were followed by Cruft's division of the Fourth Corps. West Chicka- mauga Creek was crossed, the infantry on a foot bridge, the horses swimming. The artillery, unable to cross, w'as forced to wait for a pontoon bridge on the way. The panic of the enemy was evidenced by burnt and burn ing trains and supplies on all of the routes over which the troops were marching. Abandoned caissons, limbers filled with ammunition, broken wagons, arms and equipments were visible on all sides. All the bridges had been destroyed by the enemy as they retreated, although pressed closely by our cavalry and infantry. Hundreds of stragglers from the enemy's rearguard were captured. General Geary reports: "About dusk we arrived at Graysville. While waiting for the construction of a foot bridge over Pea Vine Creek, our advance struck the rearguard of Breckinridge's com mand. Our division formed in line of battle on both sides of the road. Advancing, we captured three guns of Fer guson's battery, all artillerists, and a portion of the infantry supports, making four guns of this battery captured on the retreat. The main body retreated in panic." We passed Pea Vine Creek and Chickamauga Swamp at 10 P. M., when it was ascertained that the enemy were in force on Pigeon Hills and skirmishing with Osterhaus's ad vance. Creighton's brigade was moved to the front, doub ling on Osterhaus's troops, forming line on a road on the level below the hills, at right angle with the Ringgold road, their right resting on the latter. Cobham's brigade was in line 300 yards to the rear. Our skirmishers were thrown to the front, scaled the hills, and drove the rebel rearguard from the ridges. We bivouacked for the night at the foot of Pigeon Hills, 4 miles from Ring- gold. 284 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY THE BATTLE OF RINGGOLD. BY CAPT. GEO. A. McKAY. At daylight of the 27th, Osterhaus's division on the right, our division in the center and Cruft's division on the left, marched by a flank over Pigeon Hills and other ranges cap turing many prisoners while advancing. Osterhaus's division commenced skirmishing with the enemy's rearguard in the town of Ringgold as we ap proached the creek. With accelerated pulse and pace we followed the creek down and crossed it upon the toll bridge northwest of the town. At 8 o'clock we passed through the town, under a heavy fire of musketry from the bridge beyond. Several of our men were wounded. Just beyond, the Western & Atlantic Railroad ran through a gap in Tay lor's Ridge, running in the same general direction (north and south) as Missionary Ridge, but much higher and more precipitous, and well covered with timber upon its summit. Before our arrival the whole of Bragg's army had passed through the gap, leaving Cleburne's division of Hardee's corps as rearguard upon the ridge, supported by General Gist's division, to dispute our advance and enable their trains and artillery to escape. General Cleburne extended his lines both ways from the gap. General Osterhaus at 7.30 formed his lines at the foot of the ridge, and covered by lines of skirmishers he assaulted the enemy under a heavy fire. Shortly after 8 o'clock, Osterhaus being warmly engaged, General Geary ordered Creighton's brigade past Osterhaus's left, which it unmasked about a quarter of a mile, and it was formed about three-quarters of a mile from the gap parallel with the railroad, in echelon ; the Sixty-sixth Ohio, Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, Seventh Ohio, and One Hun dred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania "with orders to scale the mountain, gain the summit and if possible attack the enemy in flank, and to charge with vigor along the ridge." As soon as Creighton's command moved under orders to the left, Cobham's brigade was brought up and massed be- MISSIONARY RIDG£ 285 hind a large stone depot on the confines of the town toward the ridge, and held in that position for an emergency. Ire land was halted in reserve 400 yards back in the main street of Ringgold. Creighton, pursuant to orders, moved rapidly, marching in echelon across a large open field to the foot of the ridge under a severe fire from the summit. The echelon move ment was here abandoned, the regiments advancing until the brigade formed a single line — Sixty-sixth Ohio on the right, Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania on their left, Seventh Ohio on their left, and the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania on the extreme left. Under a galling fire from the heights 500 feet above, Creighton steadily ascended the steep sides of the hill, de termined to carry the ridge at all hazards. By his orders the men advanced with fixed bayonets until within close range, when the whole line was ordered to fire upon the enemy on the summit. Volley after volley was poured into the hosts above, and their return fire was deadly in the ex treme. The fatigue of climbing was fearful and the assault was slow. General Geary ordered "Creighton to make a final attempt to carry the ridge, sheltering his troops as much as possible. While so doing, he continued the assault, his men delivering their fire with precision as they advanced." The Seventh Ohio, on the right of the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania on the extreme left, was compelled in its advance to move through a ravine, through which it was rapidly ascending, when a terrific enfilading fire from the enemy opened upon them. Unflinchingly the regiment moved forward toward the top of the mountain, firing steadily, some of the men being killed on the summit, the regiment as a unit being within 25 yards of it. Colonel Creighton in this movement of the brigade marched with his regiment, Lieut. -Col. Orrin J. Crane, com manding. Crane was killed near the top of the ridge, and the men forced to retire. Creighton rallied the regiment and tried to reach the body of Crane, crying out that they must carry off the body, even 286 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY if the charge failed; but it was impossible, the men had done all that men could do, and they were ordered to retire, which they did slowly and sullenly. While retiring the writer was shot and Creighton mortally wounded, and they were borne off the field together, Creighton dying within six hours thereafter. The loss to the regiment in this charge was 12 officers killed and wounded out of 13 present for duty, and 74 non commissioned officers and privates, being one-half of those present in the battle. The One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania re tired at the same time with the Seventh, and both regiments were halted about half way down the mountain, where they were joined by the Sixty-sixth Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania. The brigade retained its position until the enemy were routed. This veteran brigade, the heroes of many well-fought fields, had for two hours and a half done all that brave men could do, sustaining the concentrated fury of battle against an enemy overwhelmingly superior in numbers and in an almost impregnable position. During the action Carlin's brigade of Palmer's corps arrived and formed on the railroad in rear of the First Bri gade, in reserve. Osterhaus's division became heavily engaged, and Cob- ham's brigade was sent to his support. Double-quicking, they crossed the railroad under a severe fire, taking position on a mound on the left of the gap and railroad, and the enemy were checked. The sharpshooters of the enemy were very active, and our skirmishers were sent out to meet them, the main line lying down. Ireland's brigade was ordered to the front, formed in echelon of regiments, en masse, behind the stone depot. The battle on the front line was desperate, and at 10.40 A. M., under a concentrated fire of artillery and infantry, Osterhaus on the extreme right was forced to give way. Ireland was ordered to reinforce him on the right. He did so magnificently, although his line was swept by grape, MISSIONARY RIDGE 287 canister and musketry. Crossing an open field he moved to the left along the Catoosa Creek toward the gap, form ing line in the gap bottom, his right resting on an old barn, and the left on the railroad, joining Cobham's right. The ridge on both sides of the gap was lined with sharpshooters of the enemy, assisted by artillery. Ireland was a first-class officer and handled his men well, repulsing the enemy, and retained his position until the arrival of our batteries at noon under command of Major Reynolds, who wheeled one section of Knap's battery into position on Ireland's right and one section of Landgraeber's to the right of that. Opening fire, they silenced the rebel guns and drove back the infantry. General Geary states in his report that "another section of Knap's battery, under his immediate orders, opened fire, near our left, upon the enemy massed in front of Creigh- ton's brigade, compelling them to retire." Several regiments of Osterhaus's division scaled the mountain, flanked on their left by Creighton's brigade. Ireland advanced into the gap, capturing two flags, one the guidon of the enemy's battery; and a great number of prisoners were captured when the ridge was carried. Detachments were sent out to bury the dead and collect together the wounded. Quite a number of rebel dead were found in front of Creighton's position, showing that his brigade had attended strictly to business while engaged in fighting the enemy. All prisoners, as well as our wounded, were sent to Chat tanooga November 28. Our division remained at Ringgold until December i at 2.30 A. M., when they marched to Lookout Valley, arriving there the same day. General Geary in his official report wrote in the highest terms in regard to Col. W. R. Creighton and Lieut. -Col. Orrin J. Crane, stating that they were two as brave men and thorough veterans as ever commanded in the field, and to speak of Creighton and Crane was at once to personify all that was gallant, brave and daring. 288 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY In the face of the guns every officer and soldier who marched up the mountainside, toward the ridge, in that charge of Creighton's brigade was a hero. Oh ! the wild charge they made, Not a man dismayed. Into the valley of death, Into the mouth of hell, Marched the First Brigade. It is now evident that if Cobham's and Ireland's brigades had been formed in line of battle with Creighton's, the ridge would have been carried with a rush. We would have out flanked them, not they us. Or if the charge had been held in abeyance until the arrival of our artillery there would not have been so much blood shed. General Geary reported that 119 officers and 1,870 en listed men were present for duty in his division at Ring- gold, and his casualties as 24 officers and 179 enlisted men. Of which loss the Seventh Regiment Ohio Volunteers lost 12 officers and 74 men, being nearly one-half of the total loss of the division, and the heaviest loss of any regiment there.* The effectives in Osterhaus's and Cruft's divisions amounted to 5,670 officers and enlisted men. The loss in killed and wounded I am unable to state, as I have had no way of ascertaining; but in certain regiments of Oster haus's division they suffered severely. Carlin's brigade of Palmer's corps was present with others, but what their numerical strength and loss were I am unable to state, although I have every reason to believe the loss was slight on account of being on the reserve. Every soldier present did his duty well, no matter where placed by his superior officers. A HEROIC INCIDENT. When the Seventh Ohio left its camp in Wauhatchie Val ley to engage in what became the Lookout Mountain, Mis- *See Casualty List, p. 646. MISSIONARY RIDGE: 289 sionary Ridge and Ringgold campaign, two men from each company were detailed to remain behind to guard the camp equipage, and it so happened in Company C that Charles F. King and Joseph S. Cleverdon were selected, much to their dissatisfaction, as they preferred to go with the regiment. However, some time after the regi ment had left camp, comrades who, on account of illness, had been permitted to return came in, when King and Clev erdon left the property in their charge and pushed out hur riedly to get into the ranks ere the battle opened. When they reached their company Lieutenant Jones severely cen sured them for leaving camp without his permission, and contemplated ordering them back, but their entreaties pre vailed and they were permitted to remain. These comrades fought together and escaped injury until the regiment reached Ringgold, where, well abreast with the advance they had almost reached the crest of Taylor's Ridge in the midst of the foe secreted behind trees and rocks, when King said, "Boys, let's fix bayonets and charge them !" and while in the act fell dead, while the bullet intended as Cleverdon's death warrant shattered his right arm near the shoulder, and he too was placed hors de combat, becoming a cripple for life. CHAPTER XXXIII. BACK TO WAUHATCHIE) AND BRIDGEPORT. Although there was no fighting about Ringgold after November 27th, Hooker's command remained in that vicin ity until December ist, when the return march to the camps in Wauhatchie Valley was made. The severe losses at Ringgold had so depleted the ranks of the Seventh that great depression fell upon the few re maining officers and men, which never again seemed to be fully obliterated. Captain E. J. Krieger, one of the most fortunate officers, so far as casualties went, having escaped injury in the mael strom of battle during the Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, and Ringgold campaign, assumed command of the regiment and led it back to camp, where he was later on re lieved by former Capt. Fred A. Seymour, who had resigned on April 17, 1863, but who, when he heard of the death of Colonel Creighton and Lieut. -Col. Crane, obtained a com mission as major and at once came to the front and as sumed command. However, in so doing he became very unpopular with a majority of his officers and men, who made it very unpleasant for him until he resigned. The Seventh remained in camp in Wauhatchie Valley until January 4, 1864, when, with the rest of the brigade, it marched for Bridgeport, Alabama, reaching that point the next day, where it remained until the opening of the great Atlanta campaign. At that time Bridgeport, by reason of the uncompleted railroad bridge across the Tennessee River there, was the terminus of the railroad route and a place of some military importance. With good quarters, sufficient supplies and light duty, the stay of the Seventh while there was altogether pleasant and enjoyable. On or about February 22 Capt. Samuel McClelland, one Q£ the oldest, bravest, and best captains of the regiment, BACK TO WAUHATCHIE AND BRIDGEPORT 29! who had been severely wounded in battle at Ringgold, was commissioned lieutenant-colonel, much to the gratification of his men, and assumed command, when the following or ders of the day were issued : "HEADQUARTERS SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOL. INF., "BRIDGEPORT, ALABAMA, February 24, 1864. "GENERAL ORDERS No. 2. "Until further orders the following orders of the day will be strictly observed : Reveille and Roll Call, 6 A. M.

LOCKWOOD, "First Lieut, and Acting Adjutant." About this time many of the volunteer organizations were veteranizing, /. e., having served two of the three years for which they had enlisted, they were offered $402 bounty and a thirty-day furlough to reenlist for a term of three years, or the war, and many of them did so. The members of the Seventh however, as a rule, although importuned by Gen erals Slocum and Geary and others, declined, expressing a preference to serving out their original three-year term, before contracting for another, although quite a number of 292 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY the members of Company F, with now and then a member of other companies, did so. These comrades left Bridge port for home on or about March 6, and returned on April 6, after having most thoroughly enjoyed their bounty and leave of absence. On April 4, 1864, under orders from the War Department, the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps were consolidated, to be known as the First Corps, but was sub sequently changed at the request of General Grant to the Twentieth Corps. This corps consisted of four divisions commanded by Generals Williams, Geary, Butterfield, and Rousseau. The latter being on detached duty, never joined the command. The corps badge was that of the Twelfth, a five-pointed star, the color of the three divisions being red, white and blue. Requests made by Generals Hooker, Howard, and others that the new corps be known as the Twelfth Corps were unheeded. On April i2th, although under orders, yet with a view to recreation and adventure, General Geary with a picked command — of which the Seventh Ohio was a part — embarked upon the steamer Chickamauga at Bridge port, for an expedition down the Tennessee River, of which he made the following report : "HEADQUARTERS SECOND DIVISION, "TWELFTH ARMY CORPS, "BRIDGEPORT, ALA., April 16, 1864. "GENERAL: I have the honor to report progress and results of an expedition down the Tennessee River, made in pursuance of orders of the Major-General Commanding, under date of April loth instant. We steamed from Bridgeport at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the I2th, hav ing on board and in two scows alongside, the Seventh and Sixty-sixth Ohio ; detachments of the Twenty-eighth and One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania, and one sec tion of Knap's Pennsylvania battery, in all about 800 men, with ample supply of ammunition, and ten days' rations. "I manned a 12-pounder howitzer and a small mountain howitzer upon the boat. These additional pieces proved BACK TO WAUHATCHIE AND BRIDGEPORT 293 very serviceable. We passed down the river by Island and Widow's Creeks and Caperton's Ferry, Coon Island, and Coon and Mud Creeks, Bellefonte Islands and Riley's Creek. At 8.15 P. M. we arrived at Larkin's Landing, when we halted for the night. I here found the Fifty-fifth Illinois and two sections of artillery, and the post com manded by Lieut. -Col. D. C. Coleman, Eighth Missouri, with whom I communicated, and learned that the rebels had a continuous chain of pickets from Lebanon to Guntersville, where Captain Smith's force of 100 men picketed. Start ing at 6.50 A. M. on the I3th, we passed through the pon toon below Larkin's Ferry. Reached Seven-Mile Island at 7.40 A. M. and found a mail route across the head of it. We broke up the line by sinking the boat used for it, moored in the bushes. Ran up Town Creek and Short Creek, find ing two scows and a canoe. Then proceeded to Gunters ville, where we arrived at 10 A. M. Rebel pickets fell back. I opened artillery from the three decks of the boat upon main force, which took refuge in town. We occupied the town, captured mail and boats, one a large ferry-boat. Enemy fled. At 11.30 A. M. we passed Port Deposit, and Paint Rock at 12.15. "When passing Flint River, where the enemy had a post, they discharged several volleys at us from places so shel tered that they could not be seen. Some of their balls passed over the heads of the officers on the upper deck, and several entirely through the boat. Two men of the Sev enth Ohio were wounded, one through the face and one in the head. Two of the rebels were picked! off by my sharp shooters. We put in at Whitesburg at 2.30 p. M. opposite two rebel forts, which offered no molestation. "Post garrisoned by Fifty-sixth Illinois, Fifth Ohio Cav alry and section of Sixth Wisconsin Battery. "At 4.30 P. M. we left Whitesburg, and discovered, a short distance above Indian Creek, a column of in fantry, about two strong regiments, moving rapidly in a small vale on the south side toward a high rocky bluff, well 294 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY fortified by nature, presenting a precipitous wall to the river, evidently intending to dispute our passage. "We halted the boat and opened a warm fire upon them from the four pieces for fifteen minutes, and shelled a party which was already on the bluffs, and then ran past. Recon- noitered no miles down to within 14 miles of Decatur, re solved to regain Guntersville before morning. Therefore directed boat up stream, reaching Whitesburg shortly after dark. Again got under way. Halted short time opposite Guntersville at 2 A. M. of the I4th, then passed to Roman's Ferry. Troops under arms going and coming. Reached Bridgeport April 16, 1864, at 2 A. M. "Upon the expedition we destroyed forty-seven boats. Our casualties are: Private James B. Auxer, Company F, Seventh Ohio, gunshot wound through face; Private Wil liam H. Poor, Company F, Seventh Ohio, gunshot wound in head; Private Martin T. Britton, Company D, bruised right hand. "Captured 4 prisoners with arms, and 17 $1,000 R. R. bonds, taken at Guntersville. "JOHN W. GEARY, "Brigadier-General, Commanding/' Gen. George H. Thomas, in forwarding General Geary's report to General Sherman, did so "with expressions of satisfaction at the manner in which Brig.-Gen. John W. Geary conducted his expedition and the results which fol lowed." CHAPTER XXXIV. THE) ATLANTA CAMPAIGN, DUG GAP, AND RE}SACA. At Bridgeport the Tennessee River, some hundreds of yards in width, was spanned by a substantial pontoon bridge, over which, on May i, a large herd of beeves, in tended for use during the then approaching Atlanta cam paign, essayed to cross. The river was not only wide and deep but the current was very rapid, and when the leaders of this herd reached the middle of the stream the great ex panse of boiling, whirling, and rapidly moving water seemed to terrify them, causing them to halt, as if to turn about and retreat ; but this was prevented by the press from behind, resulting in such a concentration of weight as to sink the pontoon boats, break up the bridge, and precipitate many fine cattle into the river. However, they all seemed to be expert swimmers, and while some at once started for the shore, others held on mid-stream and went floating down out of sight. How many cattle were actually lost to the Government by this incident we never knew. Preparatory to entering upon -what is known as the At lanta campaign, Ma j. -Gen. William T. Sherman, during the early part of the year 1864, exhausted every effort in bringing to Chattanooga sufficient supplies to enable every arm of the service under his command to start out with a plenty and to spare, in all of which he was eminently suc cessful, and early in May the great army then concentrated under the command of Major-Generals Thomas, McPher- son, Hooker, Schofield and Howard, — all under command of "Uncle Billy," of whom it was said, "Sherman will move if he has to eat his mules,"— marched away for Atlanta, while General Grant, in command of the Army of the Potomac, moved from about Culpeper toward Richmond. On May 3, 1864, Geary's division left Bridgeport and 296 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY marched to Shell Mound, while the next day it again marched through Wauhatchie Valley, along the west side of Lookout Mountain, crossing over its nose near the Ten nessee River, and halting on the Chattanooga side for the night. Here we saw every indication of a great military campaign, in the great bodies of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, filling and crowding the roads in every direction, while the supply trains of wagons, in almost endless num ber, were parked in the fields until the troops should lead off and get under way. On the 5th, passing through Rossville Gap across the Chickamauga battlefield toward Ringgold, it kept to the right to Post Oak Church, and the next day reached Pea Vine Church. On the 7th it crossed Taylor's Ridge, passing Gordon's Springs to Nuckles, and to Dug Gap in Rocky Face Ridge on the 8th, where Geary's division made vigorous attack by way of a diversion, while other troops passed through Snake Creek Gap lower down the range. In this affair at Dug Gap the Twenty-ninth Ohio In fantry was very roughly handled, something after the style of the Seventh at Ringgold, while the Seventh, by order of General Geary, who remembered Ringgold, was held in re serve and not exposed or engaged in any way. That night, however, the Seventh was on picket and well to the front at that point until the I2th, when the command moved through Snake Creek Gap and toward Resaca, where the enemy had halted for battle. On the i3th we drew closer to Resaca; on the I4th moved to the extreme left of the line on the left of Williams's division, while on the I5th the battle of Resaca was fought. General Geary said : "Owing to the extremely rough and hilly nature of the ground, and the small compass within which the entire corps was to operate in the first charge, the only formation by which my command could be handled to advantage was that of column by regiments," — which sug gested to the members of the Seventh the battle of Kerns- town, where the Third Brigade went to battle in column of THE ATLANTA CAMPAIGN divisions. Parts of Geary's and Butterfield's divisions raced for the capture of a 4-gun battery, posted in pits dug upon the brow of a modest elevation, and well guarded by infantry in trenches near by, and while they succeeded in silencing the guns, they could not bring them off. Between 3 and 4 p. M., by order of General Hooker, General Geary relieved General Butterfield's division and kept close guard over the silenced guns until nightfall, when General Geary instructed Colonel Cobham of the One Hundred and Elev enth Pennsylvania to dig through the works in front of the guns and bring them off with drag-ropes during the night. The necessary tools and ropes were supplied to do this work, which was accomplished successfully by the Fifth Ohio and a detail from the Thirty-third New Jersey, drag ging the guns out from under the very nose of the enemy, despite all the resistance they could make — the Seventh being near by to join in the shooting when the dragging out took place, but suffering little loss. Corp. George W. Tyr rell of the Fifth Ohio brought off a rebel flag and was sub sequently given a medal of honor therefor. General Butterfield claimed credit for capturing this bat tery, but as General Geary had possession of the guns, he held on to them. On the morning of the i6th the enemy had evacuated and General Sherman ordered pursuit. Geary's division crossed the Connesauga and Coosa- wattee Creeks and encamped. On the I7th it marched toward Calhoun; on the iSth to Gravelly Plateau on the Cassville road; while on the iQth the Fifth Ohio led on the skirmish line, to near Cassville, where a halt was made for three days. "HEADQUARTERS SEVENTH OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY, "BIVOUAC, NEAR CASSVILLE, GA., May 21, 1864. "SiR : I have the honor to submit the following report of the movements of my command since May 12, 1864, and participation in the late engagement near Resaca, Ga. : "At about 7 A. M. Thursday, May 12, 1864, my command moved from its position near Mill Creek Gap in a southerly 298 SEVENTH RSGIMDNT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY direction, and at sundown arrived at Snake (Creek) Gap, where we bivouacked for the night. May 13, at about 12 M., moved forward in a southeasterly direction until about 5 P. M., when we came upon our outer lines, which were skirmishing with the enemy. The regiment was ordered to take a position on a hill, where it remained during the night and until 4 p. M. the next day, May 14, when my command was ordered to the extreme left of our line of battle. We arrived after dark, formed in line and threw out pickets in front; remained here until 10 A. M. May 15, when the regi ment was ordered to the right to the support of the Third Division, then heavily engaged in resisting the charge of the enemy. The regiment in line of battle advanced to within a few paces of the rest of the hill, in front of which were two lines of battle, and rested upon the ground. While lying in this position 5 men of my regiment were struck with the enemy's balls.* None was dangerously wounded. After lying here about an hour I was ordered to support the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers. We moved to the immediate front and formed on the right of that regiment, the regiment being in a ravine. Forty men were sent to the crest of the hill in advance as sharpshooters, their position being protected by piles of rails, breastworks having been built and artillery got into position on a commanding hill a few paces in our rear. At about 10 p. M. the regiment was ordered to join the re mainder of the brigade, then lying in a ravine to our right and near the road running east and west. Here arms were stacked and the men laid down to rest. I was aroused at about 1 1 P. M. by rapid discharges of musketry, and caused the regiment to fall in and be in readiness for any emer gency. By order of General Geary three companies of my regiment were deployed on the crest of the hill to stop the retreat of stragglers from the front. The firing soon ceased, and the regiment rested undisturbed until daylight. At about 9 A. M. we were ordered to fall in, and moved off by the road toward the east, crossing the railroad a mile *See Casualty List, p. 648. THE) ATLANTA CAMPAIGN 299 north of Resaca at noon; crossed Connesauga Creek at 5 p. M. ; arrived at Coosawattee Creek ; found the cavalry had discovered a body of the enemy in a piece of woods on the opposite bank. I was ordered to take my command a half mile to the left to support a section of artillery in posi tion on commanding ground near the bank of the creek, our troops having crossed the creek without opposition. At 9 P. M. received orders to rejoin the brigade, then in camp on the opposite bank. May 17, again moved forward at about 12 M. After marching about eight miles halted for the night near Calhoun. May 18, fell in at 4 A. M., and after a very fatiguing march, principally across fields and over mountains, went into camp soon after sunset. May 19, moved off soon after sunrise in an easterly direction, scarcely any of the time being on a beaten path. At about 4 p. M., when approaching the town of Cassville, found that we were in the vicinity of the enemy. The regiment was ordered to take position behind some breastworks of rails hastily thrown up. After remaining here something like two hours my command was again moved forward about a mile and formed in line of battle on a retreating piece of ground in the rear of a piece of woods, where the regiment remains.

PUMPKIN VINE CREEK, DALLAS, AND NEW HOPE CHURCH. On the 231^1, moved to and across Etowah River and the next day to Burnt Hickory. Colonel Charles Candy, com manding First Brigade, said : "On May 25 marched at 6 A. M., this brigade in advance of the division, and moved to Pumpkin Vine Creek, where the advance met the enemy's cavalry pickets. Skirmishers were thrown across the stream, the Seventh Ohio perform ing this duty, when we advanced about three miles, where we met the advance of the enemy in force, composed of in fantry and cavalry. The brigade was formed in line of battle. The Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania was ordered to advance as skirmishers to assist the Seventh Ohio, who were warmly engaged with the enemy, and were making a stubborn resistance. The enemy's skirmishers were com pelled to fall back to their main line, one and a half miles. The enemy then advanced in force and poured a heavy and galling fire into the entire line. It fell most heavily on the Fifth Ohio, who lost 7 killed and 51 wounded." Colonel Patrick of the Fifth Ohio and Lieutenant Hitt of Colonel Candy's staff were killed in this battle, and Capt. Lew. R. Davis of General Geary's staff captured, while Ser geants McClelland and Strattan of the Seventh, and others, were killed, and some wounded, still further deci mating the already greatly depleted ranks. Following is an extract from the official report of Brig.- Gen. John W. Geary. "NEW HOPE CHURCH. "May 25, at 7 A. M., I marched with my command, tak ing the road to Dallas via bridge across Pumpkin Vine PUMPKIN VINE GREEK NEW HOPE CliURCH 301 Creek at Owen's Mill. Williams's and Butterfield's divis ions, moving, respectively, by roads on my right and left, were to cross the creek by other bridges. The point of con centration ordered was to be Dallas (see order of march for May 25, dated May 24, headquarters Department of the Cumberland). The Major-General Commanding corps and myself, with our staffs and escort, preceded the troops to the bridge at Owen's Mill, which we found burning, hav ing just been fired. While engaged in extinguishing the flames and repairing the bridge we were fired upon from the hill opposite, proving that the enemy were here in our front. A portion of Maj.-Gen. Hooker's cavalry escort fording the creek, deployed and advanced on the opposite side through the woods, driving before them a short dis tance what proved to be an outpost of 25 cavalrymen. My infantry soon came up, and the repairs to the bridge being finished by the pioneer corps, the entire division crossed ; the Seventh Ohio Volunteers preceding, deployed as skir mishers, advanced rapidly in the direction of New Hope Church, Candy's brigade leading. Near Hawkins's house, one and a half miles from the bridge, our skirmishers be came heavily engaged with those of the enemy, and almost immediately a furious charge was made upon us. Our skirmishers resisted. Candy's brigade wras deployed into line on the double-quick, and after a sharp engagement the charge was repulsed. The skirmish line was now rein forced, and extended to the length of a mile by the Twenty- eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers. The remaining four legiments of Candy's brigade were deployed in line of battle, and, supported by my other two brigades, moved forward, attacking and driving steadily for half a mile a heavy force of Hood's corps, which opposed us. From prisoners captured we learned that Hood's entire corps was in our front, and Hardee's not far off, in the direction of Dallas. My division was isolated, at least five miles from the nearest supporting troops, and had been sustaining a sharp conflict with the enemy for four hours. Close in my front was an overwhelming force. My command was, by 302 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY order of the Major-General Commanding the corps (who was with me), halted and formed on a ridge in the woods, advantageous for defense, and a slight barricade of logs hastily thrown up. My skirmish lines were deployed to a still greater extent than before, and ordered to keep up an aggressive fire, the object being to deceive the enemy as to our weakness by a show of strength. During this halt a charge made by a brigade of the enemy in column upon that part of my skirmish line occupied by the Seventh Ohio Vol unteers was handsomely repulsed. The skirmish line there formed nearly a right angle toward the enemy, who charged upon the center line, not seeing that upon their flank. When the three regiments neared the angle they were met by a sharp fire in front and a heavy enfilading fire from their left flank, and retreated in hasty disorder and with considerable loss. Orders had been sent, as soon as the enemy was found in force in my front, by the Major-Gen eral Commanding corps, to Generals Butterfield and Wil liams to march their divisions to the point where mine was engaged. By 5 p. M. both had come up and massed, Wil liams on my right and Butterfield on my left and rear. Each division was quickly formed for attack in columns by brigades, Williams leading, Butterfield next, my division as a reserve, and the corps advanced upon the enemy. In the advance Butterfield's brigades moved toward the flanks, leaving me in support of Williams, who had been heavily engaged, driving the enemy some distance. I received orders to push forward and relieve his troops. This was between 6 and 7 p. M. The movement ordered for my division was made with great rapidity, through a dense woods, swept by a very heavy artillery and musketry fire. The discharges of canister and shell from the enemy were heavier than in any other battle of the campaign in which my command was engaged. The troops of General Wil- liams's division were relieved by this movement, and Cob- ham's brigade and portions of Candy's brigade engaged the enemy furiously at short range, driving him again until after dark, when my command was halted close under the PUMPKIN VINE: CRE)E;K — N£W HOPE: CHURCH 303 enemy's batteries and entrenchments near New Hope Church. The night was intensely dark, and a very severe thunder-storm, with cold, pelting rain, added to the gloom. It was, therefore, impossible to form a regular line with the troops, and all the dispositions of them we could make was by the fitful flashes of lightning. Breastworks were thrown up as fast as possible during the night, and the dead and wounded were all cared for before morning. "May 26, when dawn came I found the position held by my troops to be a ridge of considerable natural strength confronting another ridge at a distance of from 80 yards on the left to 300 yards on the right, on which were the enemy's main lines. Around us in every direction were thick woods. The road to New Hope Church passed through my lines occupied by Candy's brigade, the flank of which, on the left of the road, was not in connection with any other troops. At this point near the road my lines were closest to those opposing us, and sharpshooters from Candy's brigade were so posted as to command a battery in his front, preventing the enemy from working his guns, excepting now and then to deliver an occasional shot. Another battery in Cobham's front was similarly com manded by sharpshooters from his brigade. Strong skir mish lines were posted along our front and drove the ene my's skirmishers into their main line of entrenchments and kept them there for the most part during the succeeding days that we remained in this position. The battle of the 25th was altogether in the woods, affording no opportunity for the use of artillery on our side. In my front this clay I ascertained that the enemy had seventeen pieces of artillery well entrenched in their second line of works on top of the ridge occupied by them. This line of \vorks was very strong, with re-entering angles. From my skirmish line it could be closely reconnoiterecl, being distant only about 100 yards. In addition to this they occupied in strong force a line of breastworks nearer us at the foot of the ridge. To this work their skirmishers were all driven, and my skirmishers, advanced to the farthest point possible, 304 SEVENTH RAIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY were ordered to hold them there and to cover with their own fire, if possible, every piece of artillery posted in our front. Directions were also given when night came for the construction of log rifle-pits of the V pattern for the protection of my skirmishers and sharpshooters, the num ber of casualties among them being quite large during the day. At noon troops of General Stanley's division, Fourth Corps, came up and connected on my left by a refused line, and by order of Maj.-Gen. Thomas relieved five regiments of Candy's brigade, which had held the left of the road since the evening of yesterday. My entire division was now formed on the right of the road from left to right, in the following order : Candy's brigade, Lockman's, then Co- burn's brigade of Butterfield's division, and on his right Cobham's brigade, of my division. Two-thirds of each brigade formed the front line. The remainder was placed in reserve near the foot of the ridge. Under protection of our sharpshooters breastworks were erected during the day, and, wherever possible, the timber in front was slashed, forming an abatis. All of my artillery, twelve pieces, was placed in position along my line during the day and night. The enemy made frequent sorties, attempting to drive in my skirmishers, establish their own line, and prevent our throwing up works, but in every case they were driven back with severe loss. Their artillery was rendered almost en tirely inefficient by the constant watchfulness of our sharp shooters, and our works progressed rapidly. After dusk, Cobham's brigade, being relieved by 'Ward's, of Butterfield's division, took the place Held in line by Coburn, thus bring ing my entire command into a connected line. "My losses during yesterday and to-day were 376 killed, wounded, and missing. A full statement of them will be found hereto appended. I have to enumerate among the dead, fallen in the battle of New Hope Church, Col. John H. Patrick, Fifth Ohio Volunteers, a brave officer, who had served with his regiment since April, 1861, and here fell PUMPKIN VINE: CR££K N£W HOPE: CHURCH 305 mortally wounded by a canister shot, and Lieut. Joseph W. Hitt, of Colonel Candy's staff, a promising young officer. My three brigade commanders, Colonels Candy, Lockman, and Cobham, all displayed personal gallantry and performed their whole duty in the most efficient manner. The behavior of the officers and men under their command was excellent throughout. For twenty-four hours they were actively en gaged with the enemy without opportunity to cook a single meal or make a cup of coffee. I sustained a personal loss in the capture of Capt. L. R. Davis of the Seventh Ohio Volunteers, who had served as aide-de-camp on my staff for two years and had earned a wide-spread reputation for his extreme gallantry and personal daring. "May 27, lively skirmishing all day, our sharpshooters preventing the enemy from free use of their guns (artil lery). The enemy made occasional attempts to drive in our skirmishers, but were each time driven back to their en trenchments with heavy loss. My artillery kept up a de structive fire, enfilading portions of the enemy's works. In this constant, watchful war between skirmishers, kept up night and day, here as elsewhere in similar positions during this campaign, my troops thoroughly proved their superior ity over the enemy as sharpshooters, invariably driving them from their post. During the 28th, 29th, 3Oth, and 3ist days of May our position and general daily routine of artillery practice and sharpshooting were unchanged. Small out-works for the protection of skirmishers were thrown up at every available point, thus diminishing my daily returns of casualties. From the 25th of May until the ist of June, my entire division was under fire, without an hour of relief. Owing to the proximity of the lines, and the nature of the ground, no one, whether in front or rear, could rest quietly with any assurance of safety. No op portunity being afforded for proper shelter, rest, and diet, the necessary result of this series of operations was a large increase of sickness. 20 306 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY "CASUALTIES IN BATTLE AT NEW HOPE CHURCH, GA.

June 2, moved still farther to the left in the direction of Allatoona Church, within about two and a half miles of which I placed my command in position on a thickly wooded ridge in the rear and in support of the Twenty-third Corps. During the day heavy storms of rain and hail prevailed, making the ground heavy, and swelling the creeks so as to render them almost impassable. Ac tive artillery and musketry fire in the front, during which many shots passed through my camp, in which also several shells exploded. June 3, 4, and 5, remained in same posi tion. On the 3d the Third Brigade was detached, and at 4 p. M. proceeded to the bridge on the Acworth road over Allatoona Creek, with orders to hold the bridge and the ford. It found the bridge in a shattered condition, but placed it in good order, remaining at this point during the 4th and 5th. June 6, the enemy having evacuated the works in the immediate front of the army, the division marched to the Marietta road, encamping on Hull's farm, near the junction of the roads leading to Big Shanty and to Lost Mountain, Butterfield and Williams on the right, the Fourth Corps upon the left. June 7, 8, 9, 10, n, and 12, remained in same position, having thrown up breastworks to cover the roads approaching my front, advancing my PUMPKIN VINE: CREEK NEW HOPE} CHURCH 307 skirmishers and feeling the enemy, who were found fortify ing the ridges connecting Lost Mountain and Pine Hill. On the 7th, Colonel P. H. Jones, One Hundred and Fifty- fourth New York Volunteers, having reported for duty, and being the senior officer, was assigned to the command of the Second Brigade. On the loth orders were received to move on the Marietta road toward Kenesaw Station, but the Fourth and Fourteenth Corps, occupying the road with troops and trains, prevented any movement on the part of my command. On the nth, the term of service of the Seventh Ohio Volunteers, Lieut.-Col. McClelland, having expired, the regiment departed for the North. During its long connection with my division, this regiment, by gallant service upon many fields, on which it lost heavily, earned for itself a reputation of which Ohio may well be proud." "HEADQUARTERS SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEERS.. "NEAR ALI,ATOONA, GA., June 9, 1864. "SiR : I have the honor to submit the following report of the movements of my command since May 17, 1864, to the present date: "May 17, my command, then in camp on the south bank of the Coosawattee Creek, at about 1 1 A. M. moved forward in line a southerly direction, and at sundown halted for the night near Calhoun. May 18, moved on at 4 A. M., and after a very fatiguing march, most of the way over moun tains and across fields, halted for the night just after sunset. May 19, moved forward in an easterly direction. Scarcely any of our line of march was in a beaten path or traveled road. At about 4 p. M., when approaching the town of Cassville, found the enemy in our immediate front. My command was ordered to take a position under cover of some hastily constructed breastworks, and after remaining there about two hours, was ordered forward about a mile, and then formed in line of battle in the rear of the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers and on the left of the Fifth Ohio Volunteers. Here it remained until about 10 A. M. on the 2ist instant, when it was re- 308 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY moved about one mile to the rear in a piece of woods, where it remained until the morning of the 23rd instant, when, with the division, it moved off, passing through Cassville and Cass Station, crossing the railroad and taking a south westerly course ; at about 4 p. M. crossed the Etowah River and halted for the night two miles beyond. May 24, at an early hour, the regiment was ordered forward, and at sunset was halted for the night on Hickory Ridge. May 25, re ceived orders to take the advance of the brigade, which had the advance of the division and entire column; moved off at 7 A. M. At about a mile from camp, by order of General Geary, I deployed seven companies as skirmishers, three on the right and four on the left of the road. Owing to the density of the underbrush and rank growth of weeds, which were very wet with rain, the advance of the skirmishers was very slow and toilsome. At about three miles from the previous night's camp, and when approaching Pumpkin Vine Creek, our advance was fired upon by the enemy's pickets, who were stationed at the bridge; the extreme right of my skirmishers was also fired upon by cavalry pickets from the opposite bank of the creek. The enemy had made an attempt to destroy the bridge by tearing up the planking and setting it on fire in several places. With some delay my command crossed and advanced to the hill on the opposite bank. After resting half an hour they again moved forward. Generals Hooker and Geary, with their staffs and body-guard, were well up with, and at times in advance of, the skirmish line. At about 10 A. M., when about two miles beyond the creek, some of General Hook er's body-guard, then in advance, were fired upon by the enemy. General Geary immediately ordered me to deploy my reserve to the right and left of the road and move for ward on the enemy to relieve General Hooker's body-guard, then being driven back. I did so, deploying my three re maining companies, consisting of about sixty-five men, who immediately engaged the enemy and held them at bay until the other regiments of the brigade were advanced in line of battle, pushing the enemy before them something like a PUMPKIN VINE CREEK — NEW HOPE CHURCH 309 mile. During this skirmish I had i man killed and 8 wounded. Here we were ordered to remain and throw up breastworks, which was done very hastily. At about 6 p. M. my command was ordered into line, the Fifth Ohio Vol unteers on my right and Twenty-ninth Ohio Volunteers on my left, and advanced to the support of the Second and Third Brigades. On getting within range of the enemy's fire while advancing, 3 men were killed and 15 were wounded. One shell from the enemy's guns exploded in the ranks, killing 2 men and wounding 6 others. My com mand lay in position in the front line until 1 1 o'clock on the 26th instant, when it was relieved by a regiment from the Fourth Corps, and retired to a ravine a hundred yards in the rear, where it remained until the evening of the 27th instant, when it was ordered to relieve the Sixty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the first line of entrenchments. Dur ing the night and following day our skirmishers, stationed about fifty yards in advance of the breastworks, were con stantly skirmishing with the enemy. At about 8 A. M. on the 28th instant the enemy opened upon us three pieces of artillery, but with no effect. The pieces were soon silenced by the Thirteenth New York Battery and our skirmishers in front. The regiment was relieved by the Fifth Ohio Volunteers, and retired to the ravine in the rear, where it remained until the evening of the 3ne of the most notable things in our experience of prison life. CHAPTER XL. AN EPISODE; OF THD BATTI^E; OF CROSS By EDGAR M. CONDIT of Company C. Immediately following the battle, Company C hurriedly left the field, taking to the near-by woods, in a more or less demoralized condition. However, our real confusion and flight followed several hours later, when we suddenly found ourselves almost entirely surrounded by Colonel Tompkins's regiment. The first we knew of their presence was their demand for our surrender. This happened at a time when most of the company were sitting on the ground resting, while the Captain and some of the sergeants had begun a conference as to the direction we should take. The enemy had also been resting, but quickly rising up,, their guns were fairly in our faces. In a sorrowful tone of voice Cap tain Shurtleff gave the order, "Fall in, boys, I shall have to give you ap." The company was somewhat "strung out," and while those nearest the Captain began forming for sur render the larger part of the company ran pell mell into a laurel thicket which, providentially, was only about three jumps away. No two could make the same time through this breastworks of laurel. They all seemed to have better wind than I, and so it transpired that this was the last I saw of any of my company for sixteen days. There was some shooting and much yelling "Surrender!" behind me. Reaching the channel of a small stream, I took to that, and spying a ledge of rock, reaching far out over the bank, I crawled back to its farthest recess and lay there for several hours. In the mean time, two of Company A's boys joined me under this rock, — Hoffman and Evans, — who had in the flight come off the battlefield with us instead of their own company. While we lay there a number of Confederates ran over our heads, and even fired at retreating soldiers 348 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY making their way through the brush. After all had been quiet for some time we ventured out of our hiding-place and again resumed our retreat of twenty-five miles through the mountains to Gauley Bridge. We had not gone far before we came up to a fallen tree whose butt was hollow and out of which was protruding a pair of shoes and socks. We felt sure they were U. S. goods, but we were in no frame of mind to take any chances, and so passed quietly by. (If that soldier is still living and ever reads this item I want him to write me.) Wearily pulling ourselves up the sid!e of mountains, sometimes crossing deep ravines, always keeping within hearing of the roaring Gauley, we con tinued our wanderings until almost nightfall, when we sup posed we must be nearly fifteen miles from the battlefield — as a matter of fact we were only three; but by this time we were the victims of sharp hunger and fatigue. Coming to an opeiiing we could see no house or road, but did frequently hear the barking of a dog near by. We decided to wait till dark and investigate, and during this halt we coiled around the rcots of a spreading laurel bush. While lying there three men passed within a dozen feet of us, presumably members of our own company; but the foliage about us was so dense we could not tell whether they were friends or enemies. At length darkness and hunger screwed up our courage to go to the cabin home we felt sure the barking dog was defending, and here our real story begins. With fixed bayonets and capped guns we dashed across an open field and a mountain road to the front door of a very modest log house. A mother, somewhat startled, met us p.t the door. Recognizing our uniforms she bade us come in quickly. In crossing the street we had noticed a fire in the road, perhaps 200 yards from this home, and this was in part the cause of her excitement, for this was the enemy's picket post for the night. Her welcome was all the assurance we needed that we had fallen into the hands of Union friends. Quicker than I can tell you she had our army equipment hidden away. We occupied a small back room while she prepared us a warm OF BATTLE OF CROSS LANES 349 supper of biscuits, honey, meat, and several kind's of sauce. No banquet menu since ever touched my palate as did that supper. For three months we had been subsisting on "hard tack and sow-belly," and by comparison this supper was a royal feast. The "banquet" over we were shown up into the "loft," where we slept on feather beds — to be sure, a doubtful luxury in these days, during the month of August ; but after sleeping on the ground for three months with th- soft side of a cartridge-box for a pillow, we thought the feather beds were great. The night wasn't long enough, for about half past three the next morning this mother came to our bedside and woke us, saying that if we were discovered in the house the Confederates would burn the home and otherwise destroy their property. We dressed while she filled our haversacks, and her oldest boy, then twelve years of age, led us to a hillside, less than a quarter of a mile from the house, where we hid in a deep excava tion made by a large tree which had blown down. This was our home for two days, and it did not do a thing but pour doivn for about thirty-six hours of that time. We fairly floated in this small cellar. Between the rain and the Confeds in the dooryard and about the house, none of the family could get to us for two days. The storm finally let up, and after dusk of the second day the oldest daugh ter — eighteen years of age — and the little brother, before mentioned, got to us with a pot of hot coffee, biscuits, boiled corn, and honey. Do you wonder that we thought an angel had dropped down from heaven to succor us? The biscuits and the coffee were the first warm thing that had touched our stomachs for those two days of drenching storm. If there had been a preacher handy there would have been a three-corner duel to determine which of us should marry the girl. In the mean time, our hiding-place had become a mudhole and our clothing saturated and stiff with mud. Encouraged by this young woman, we determined to get to the house under cover of the darkness. She led off some little distance ahead of us. Nearing the house we lay down on an "elder 350 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY patch," while she reconnoitered about the house and grounds. The way was clear, and in a moment more we were in the old log cabin again, sitting around a smoulder ing fire-place, trying to dry our clothes. By this time the reader is entitled to a more formal introduction to our hostess, Mrs. James A. Renick — whose good and loyal hus band had "to skip the country" to avoid being pressed into the Confederate service. To do this he had to leave this noble woman and a large family of children — the daughter mentioned being the oldest — unprotected and at the mercy of Floyd's soldiers. But to proceed with our experience. This lady found three of her husband's shirts, and we were ordered back to the feather beds in the "loft" while she — and her deeds, like those of Mary Magdalene, should be told throughout the world — sat up the livelong night cleaning and drying our clothes around the fire-place. Before daylight the next morning our haversacks were again filled, and with the "kid," scarcely awake, for our leader, we were piloted to a small cave — a sort of chamber in the rocks along a creek bank, some eighty rods distant from the home. We had to cross the road, but the rest of our way was through a woods and laurel thicket. Here, in the dry, we made our home for nearly two weeks, while the daughter kept us provisioned as opportunity occurred. Every day or two came a large pail full of bread, meat, honey, boiled "roasting ears" and ripe peaches. Often she came to us soaking wet to her shoulders from the dripping laurel brush, for it still rained much of the time. She kept us posted on what the Confeds were doing about the premises. While we lay in the cave sharing this family's hospitality, these Southern soldiers confiscated every horse on the farm, seven in all, helped themselves to the corn on the place for army fodder, and either carried into camp or made up into cider the entire apple crop of a large orchard. Ten bushels of wheat were left them. This was in a large dry-goods box and stood by the front door on the porch, and thereby hangs a tale. About the middle of our stay the flour barrel EPISODE OF BATTLE} OF CROSS LANES 351 ran empty. The daughter, though only eighteen, was utterly without fear, and withal a good diplomat. She stated the case to a couple of visiting Confederate soldiers who were connected with Floyd's wagon-train, and pre vailed upon them to load these last ten bushels of wheat into one of their army wagons and take the grist to a small flouring-mill some three miles away, while she sat on the top-most bag going and coming. It was a spectacle, indeed, to a Union soldier who was depending upon the return of that flour for his next day's hot biscuit. After we had shared such hospitality for eight days we were chafing under not only our confinement in this cave, but the appalling fact began to stare us in the face that we were really eating the last bread of this mother and her seven or eight children. We decided to take the chances of escape through the Confederate lines. The mother advised against this undertaking, but we insisted. Our haversacks were filled early, and the little boy was sent, just as day was breaking, to guide us to the top of Panther Mountain, from which we had Mrs. Renick's careful instruction as to the course to pursue. Bidding the boy an affectionate and hearty good-by, we struck a bee-line — as we supposed — for Gauley Bridge, more than twenty miles away. It was a long fore noon, and after walking a dozen or fifteen miles through the mountains we halted for lunch. Thus refreshed, we again took up the march, and by 3 o'clock we were momentarily expecting to sight Twenty Mile Creek. A little later we came out. to an opening in which there was a log cabin in the little valley below us. We crawled along the fence for the distance of a couple of blocks, keeping ourselves well screened in the brush. We got within the distance of a city block from this cabin and then lay down in a fence corner for further observation. We had been there some minutes before the real situation dawned upon us. We had come back to the home of Mrs. Renick ! Waiting till dark we made our way softly to the back yard, and when we knew all was clear, walked into the house, to the great astonish ment of the family. This episode impressed us as the lead- 352 vSEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY ing of Providence, and we again took up our old quarters in the cave. At the end of another week General Rosecrans was draw ing his lines around Carnifax Ferry. This caused Floyd to draw in all his outposts, and though we were wholly igno rant at the time of what was going on, it opened the way to our escape. Scarcely any Southern soldiers were now pass ing the house or stopping to visit the family. We spent our last day (Sunday) in the house with several invited guests- Union women of the neighborhood. The afternoon turned into a general "smoker," in the very midst of which a squad of twenty-five or thirty of Floyd's cavalry rode up near the door, and a dozen of them dismounted, and were coming through the front gate before they were discovered. Two of the largest women at once stepped into the front door, completely filling that opening, while we ran across the front room on our hands and knees (to keep below the windows), and thus made our escape to the cabin "loft" of feather-bed experiences. These cavalrymen were not invited in, but stood at the door some time and visited with the ladies. We heard the whole conversation through the more or less open "chinks" of the cabin. The inquiry of one was, "Have you seen any more Yankees since the Cross Lanes fight?" There was a prompt chorus of noes, at which, for the first time, my heart went up to Heaven in gratitude for a well- emphasized lie; it was a close call ! Before leaving that eve ning, Mrs. Renick brought to me her youngest daughter — a tot of two or three summers, for whom no name had yet been agreed upon (they called her "Sis"), and asked me to give her a Yankee name. As soon as my embarrassment was fairly off, I began running over a long list of early loves, and hit upon Leonora — for short, Nora — and that's her name to-day. As darkness closed down we took another farewell of all the family, with an audible "God bless you !" and struck out, the second time, to reach Gauley Bridge. The daughter who had already risked so much for us piloted us some two miles d'own the Gauley River to a cousin of hers, who had EPISODE OF BATTLE OF CROSS LANES 353 slipped back home on the quiet to see his bride of but a few weeks. Here we stayed all night, and our ranks were in creased by a member of Company K who had been lying under the "puncheon" floor of this cabin for two weeks. His name has gone from me. This young man, cousin of Miss Renick, started with us before sunrise the next morn ing, and that night we slept at Twenty Mile Creek. The next morning, being the sixteenth day after the battle, we joined what was left of the Seventh Regiment at Gauley Bridge. We were sent for at once by the Colonel, who called for all the details of our "outing;" indeed, we did little else for several days but compare experiences with the other members of the regiment who had braved dangers and endured hardships in getting back to Gauley Bridge after this most unfortunate battle. If my story should stop here a very interesting part of it would remain untold. By this time most of my readers would say, "Of course this writer afterward married the girl." That is the way the novelist would have it, but I did not. Had she been agreeable to any such proposition, I could not have done so without breaking faith with an earlier young lady acquaintance; however, the deeds and heroism of this young lady and her mother were not allowed to perish from memory. To have forgotten them I would have been an ingrate, indeed. My first effort to show my gratitude for what they had done for me was not what might be called a roaring success. We had not yet received our first payment in the service. Ten to fifty cents was about the average amount of specie per capita in our com pany at this time. I borrowed from most everybody in the company, till I got together sixteen dollars — the price of the only silk dress pattern in the little store at the bridge pier. This I purchased and sent to the young lady by — as I sup posed — a trusted acquaintance of hers. He did not return to Cross Lanes immediately, but followed our army down to Charleston. Here he sold the dress pattern to a merchant and took Miss Renick one of a cheap delaine, a trick I found 23 354 S^V^NTH R£GIM£NT OHIO VOUJNTE^R INIANTRY out seventeen years afterward. Perhaps it served me right, for as I now look back upon the incident it seems to me I was a "blooming chump" not to have sent them six- teeen dollars' worth of flour or corn-meal instead of this silk dress pattern. With nothing but -starvation before them in their mountain home the family, a few weeks later, followed the father to eastern Ohio, where he had taken the lease of a farm for five years. At the expiration of this lease they returned to the old homestead, where they now still live. The years went by, but never without a letter or two passing between Miss Renick (long since Mrs. Geo. G. Malcolm) and myself. Then living in Iowa, in 1878 my wife and I went to West Virginia to make this mother and daughter a visit. Mrs. Malcolm's husband met us at Gauley Bridge, the nearest railway station, with a conveyance to take us to Cross Lanes via the identical road over which we had marched seventeen years before. The husband of Mrs. Renick (the mother) did not wait for our arrival, but met us on horseback five miles in advance of our destination. If General Grant had been passing through the country this family could not have paid him greater honor than they did us. Between the two families — the mother and daughter — we spent about two weeks, feasting on ripe peaches, fresh cider, fresh eggs, young chickens, etc. We spent the seven teenth anniversary of the Cross Lanes battle with the mother, and we slept in the identical "loft" of the old log cabin I had occupied when a soldier. I say "we," but there were six of us — two young ladies, two gentlemen, my wife and I — all in this one room "loft," without so much as a sheet for a partition. They had a number of invited guests because of our visit, hence this "summer resort" method of sleeping us. On the anniversary day of the battle the family and invited guests held a picnic at the cave. During the afternoon we carefully removed the debris within this stone chamber to see what we could find. This recess in the rock was not of such dimensions as to attract neighborhood EPISODE OF BATTLE OF CROSS LANES 355 visitors, and probably had not received a guest outside of the Renick family since our occupancy. We swept out all the leaves and other debris that had drifted in during- the previous seventeen years. In protected; places that had been entirely free from moisture we found a number of peach pits and corn cobs in a perfect state of preservation. These were plainly souvenirs of our life in this cave, and I brought them home and placed them with my other war relics, which I greatly prize. We also found a U. S. bullet, which I re membered stripping the powder from to mix with water and earth in order to paint our initials on the ceiling of this rock chamber. The girl whom I had named Nora seventeen years before had married rather young, and of course she was present at this picnic, and in her arms was her first born — a chubby, frisky boy. Standing in the cave amid many other guests, she brought this child to me to christen. I had not been advised that any such request was to be made. Without children myself it was a novel duty. I was em barrassed. The crowd insisted that as I had named the mother I must also name her first baby. After several efforts to swallow the "lump in my throat," and running over the names of some of my boy acquaintances, I blessed the kid and named him Eugene Carlton. Everybody was happy over the selection, and to-day he still bears that name — a man twenty-seven years old. Then I put in two or three hours with hammer and cold chisel cutting into the face rock of that cave the following legend: "1861.— E. M. €.—1878." Another seventeen years had rolled away, but during their flight the occasional friendly letter had passed between this family and myself. Thirty-four years after this first episode in the cave, Mrs. Condit and I were again on our way to West Virginia to visit this family. Perhaps I should have remarked earlier that the daughter who used to bring us food to the cave had married well — a Republican, and a real hustler. Though his county was strongly Democratic he was several times elected to the best office within its gift. He became rich for that section of the country, owning many thousands of acres 356 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY of coal and timber lands along the Gauley. His home farm right at Cross Lanes contains 700 acres, and includes the little spring brook and meadow valley on which the Seventh Regiment camped for a week or more on the occasion of our first march through that country. They have reared, and liberally educated, a fine family, two of whom are now leading physicians in West Virginia, and one of the daugh ters married a physician of leading practice in an adjoining county. This second visit, thirty-four years after the battle of Cross Lanes, was made of greater interest by the presence of my old "bunk-mate" of Company C, M. M. Andrews, whom the whole regiment has learned to love more and more as the years go by. We spent something over a week rambling over the early scenes of our knapsack days, and wound up with a picnic at the cave, on the thirty-fourth an niversary of that battle. The old log cabin on the Renick farm, which hid us in its "loft" the first night after the battle, is gone. I still have a good splinter of it among my war mementoes. Mr. and Mrs. Renick, in their old age, had built across the street from the old cabin, a small frame house. Stand ing in that valley, under a broiling August sun, without the shade of a porch, I could not bear to think of that mother, who had done so much for me in a critical moment of my life, waiting another year for the luxury of a front porch in that hot climate. I requested Mr. Renick to have his carpenter estimate the cost of the proposed porch, for which I left the necessary funds. Back a little from the time I am writing about, the World's Fair of Chicago occurred. Living in Chicago at the time, it gave me an opportunity to remember these two benefactresses. I sent a check covering all their expenses both ways, and invited this mother and daughter to share our hospitality as long as they would stay in Chicago. For ten days either myself or wife gave them our whole time at the Fair or showing them about the city. On their ar rival Mrs. Renick remarked, as I met her at the front door, "I have come all the way to Chicago to see a man that can EPISODE: OF BATTLE OF CROSS LANES 357 be grateful for thirty-three years" The daughter had traveled considerably, and had seen as much of the United States as the average citizen ; but what a revelation to this mother! Born in the county in which she still lives (shejs eighty-two years old), she had never seen a railway train till the one she boarded for Chicago, twenty-six miles dis tant from her mountain home. She had never seen a church organ, a modern bath-tub, gas, or electric light. She had me count the latter in my house that she might be able to tell her grandchildren about it when she got home. Of course the Fair itself was a new world, a world peopled with mar vels for her. They arrived the day before ''Chicago day." Only the daughter and myself daredi to brave such a crowd. I asked her the largest crowd she had ever been in before. She thought she had been to political meetings where there were three or four hundred people, but she seemed to ex perience no more trouble that day than did I in fighting my way through that 762,000 of humanity. We afterward had the pleasure of entertaining nearly all of the daughter's children, and her husband, during their "Fair" visits. And now a word personal: In 1904 Mrs. Condit and myself finished a leisurely two years' tour through all parts of Europe, much of Asia, and part of Africa. My impressions, experiences, and observa tions during this eventful journey were written up from week to week and published by one of my home newspapers. On my return, with some emendations, this correspondence was published in book form by the Fleming H. Revell Com pany of Chicago, making a volume of 626 pages, besides the illustrations, and is dedicated in the following language, to wit : "Out of a grateful memory the Author desires to dedi cate this volume to two friends who materially assisted Providence in saving his life during the civil war, viz : To Mrs. James A. Renick of Cross Lanes, West Virginia, who secreted and fed him in a cave for two weeks, and thus saved him from the horrors of a Confederate prison, and to his comrade and "bunk-mate" M. M. Andrews, now of Bay SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY City, Michigan, who, at a later period, gave to him not less than a mother's care and love, during a long siege of typhoid fever in an army hospital." And now this volume, next to her Bible, is making this clear old mother happy in her West Virginia home. Daytona, Florida, May 22, 1905. GEN. GRANT TO GEN. LEE. "!N THE "April 7, 1865.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. PARTLY COMPILED BY CAPT. GEORGE A. McKAY. MAJOR GENERAL ERASTUS B. TYLER (Colonel 7th O. V. I.— Maj. Gen. Vols. — Died Jan. 9th, 1891.) FIELD AND STAFF. COL. ERASTUS B. TYLER. Col. Erastus B. Tyler was born at Beaconsfielcl, Ontario County, New York, April 24, 1819. When eight years of age his parents removed to Ravenna, Ohio. He was edu cated in the common schools of that city and at Granville College. In the year 1845 ne entered the service of the American Fur Company and while in its employ traveled extensively in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. He joined the militia of his native State, and was pro moted rapidly to the position of brigadier-general, which he was holding at the breaking out of the war of the rebellion: He was elected colonel of the Seventh Regiment O. V. I., May 7, 1861, and in June his regiment was ordered to West Virginia, where he captured $40,000 at Weston. He participated in the battles of Cross Lanes, Virginia ; Winchester, Virginia; Port Republic, Virginia; Antietam, Maryland; Fredericksburg, Virginia ; Chancellors ville, Va., and Monocacy, Maryland. He was promoted to brigadier-general of Volunteers, May 14, 1862, and was brevetted major-general in 1865, and as signed to the military defenses at Baltimore, Maryland, as commander. He was mustered out of the service of the United States at the close of the war in 1865. He settled in Baltimore, Maryland, after the war, and was appointed postmaster of that city by the President, and re tained that position for several years. He died January 9, 1891, at Baltimore, Maryland, and is interred there. The body is to be transferred to Arlington Cemetery and buried next to General Sheridan. (365) WILLIAM R. CREIGHTON. Colonel William R. Creighton was born at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, in June, 1837. When the war commenced in the year 1861 he was a compositor on the Cleveland Herald. He had from boyhood up taken great pride in military mat ters, and at the time of the firing on Fort Sumter was first lieutenant of the Cleveland Light Guard Zouaves. On April 17 he recruited a company, which was filled in one day, under the call of the President for 75,000 troops. April 19, he reported for duty at Camp Taylor, Cleveland, Ohio, and being an exceptionally good drillmaster he re ceived numerous encomiums from visitors on account of the excellent drill and discipline of his company, which was mustered into the service of the United States as Company A, Seventh Regiment O. V. I. May 2, he was married to Miss Eleanor L. Quirk, a very estimable lady, who still remains his widow. May 5, the company was transferred to Camp Dennison, near Cincinnati, Ohio, for continuance of drill and to learn all military duties under the Army Regulations. While there he was elected as lieutenant-colonel of his regiment on ac count of his soldierly qualities, and became its drillmaster. After the battle of Winchester, Virginia, March 23, 1862, he was promoted to the rank of colonel for brave and meri torious service. He participated in the following battles during the war: Cross Lanes, Winchester, Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, Dumfries, and Chancellorsville, Virginia; Gettysburg, Pennsylvania ; Lookout Mountain and Mission ary Ridge, Tennessee, and Ringgold, Georgia. Colonel Creighton was noted from the first as an excel lent officer, cool and recklessly brave in action, a true and patriotic soldier, revered by his fellow officers and beloved by soldiers serving under him. There was no braver sol dier during the war than he. He was severely wounded in the left shoulder at the battle of Cedar Mountain and did not rejoin his command until COLONEL WILLIAM R. CREIGHTON (Killed at Battle of Ringgold, Gsi., Nov. 27th, 1863.) AND STAF $ $67 after Antietam, Maryland, consequently missing the whole of the second Bull Run campaign. He was mortally wounded at the battle of Ringgold, Georgia, November 27, 1863, while commanding the First Brigade, Second Divi sion, Twelfth Army Corps, comprising the Fifth, Seventh, Twenty-ninth, and Sixty-sixth Ohio, and Twenty-eighth and One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania Volun teer Regiments, and died within six hours thereafter. Being ordered by Gen. John W. Geary, commanding the division, to form his brigade and storm Taylor's Ridge, he formed his brigade pursuant to orders, in echelon. Ad dressing his brigade, he said, "We are ordered to take those heights, and I expect to see you roosters walk right over them!" The charge was pressed to a finish, but failed on account of the weakness in numbers of the assaulting col umn, part of his regiment being killed on the summit of the ridge. Just before he was wounded one of his friends and comrades was wounded through both legs, the main artery of his left leg being lacerated fearfully. Colonel Creighton bound up the leg with his handkerchief, and borrowing a bayonet from one of the soldiers formed a tourniquet and stopped the flowing of blood. He was himself shot imme diately thereafter, through the muscular coating of the heart, the wound bleeding internally instead of outwardly. Both were carried off the field together. Colonel Creighton had been recommended for the posi tion of brigadier-general previously, but death intervened before he reached the goal of his desires. His remains were embalmed and sent home, where he was given all honors, the body lying in state at the City Hall in Cleveland, Ohio, guarded by the National Guard, then transferred to the city vault, where it remained until the return of his regiment at the expiration of their term of service, when it was escorted to Woodland Cemetery. His old regiment acted as pall bearers and chief mourners, followed by the tears of thou sands. As a special mark of honor to the memory of Colonel Creighton, the name of Fort Wood at Chattanooga, Tennes see, was changed by military orders to Fort Creighton. JOEL F. ASPER. Joel F. Asper was born in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, April 20, 1822, and when but five years of age his father removed to Farmington, Ohio, by the slow process of a four-horse team. Until eighteen years old he assisted his father in clearing a farm in the Ohio forest, at the same time attending a district school in winter. Having a pas sion for reading and writing he was led to study law, and in August, 1844, was admitted to the bar; while in October following he opened a law office in Warren, Ohio. In 1846 he was elected a justice of the peace and on Decem ber 1 5th of the same year was married in Farmington to Miss Elizabeth Brown. Three children — two daughters and a son — were born to them. In 1850 he moved to Char- don, Ohio, where he edited a Free-Soil paper. He returned to Warren in 1852 and resumed the practice of law, which continued until the breaking out of the war in 1861. Colonel Asper was among the first to tender the services of a company to Governor Dennison, and on the 26th of pany A of Warren, which became Company H of the Sev enth Ohio Infantry, and he its captain. He was promoted to lieutenant-colonel May 20, 1862, and served in this regiment until March 2, 1863, when he resigned after having partici pated in the battles of Cross Lanes and Winchester, in which last engagement he was severely wounded.

He commanded his brigade for a while at Antietam, Maryland, after General Tyndall was severely wounded. Crane was well liked by the men under him on account of his careful attention to their comforts while in camp and on the march.

He also fought at Winchester, Virginia, March 23, 1862, and rode forward with a squad of not over twenty men and captured a twenty-pounder cannon from the enemy and held on to it until the fighting was over. This battle was the only one in which General "Stonewall" Jackson was de feated by the Union troops, and driven back. During his service with the Seventh he was engaged in numerous skirmishes and marches, notably that of Blue's Gap, where in the dead of winter the regiment marched all night through the snow with the thermometer at or below zero.

He virtually saved the day at Franklin by his daring valor and skill and by the courage of his brigade. The regiment was transferred under Maj.-Gen. Schofield to Wilmington, N. C. In this movement Casement com manded a brigade, as he had done for over a year previous. The brigade remained in this department until the surrender of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston with his command near Raleigh, North Carolina. The regiment was mustered out of the service June 23, 1865, on account of the end of the war. Casement, still commanding the brigade of which the One Hundred and Third was one of the units, had been brevetted brigadier- general for brave and meritorious services in the face of the enemy. After the war ceased General Casement resumed his busi ness of construction of railroads, he being the contractor under whose supervision the track of the Union Pacific Rail way was laid, some days laying seven miles of track per day. He was engaged in building railroads in various States and in Central America. He has been remarkably successful in this line of business, and has helped to construct more miles of railway than any man in the known world.

Colonel Shurtleff, boldly leading the regiment, sword in hand, fell severely wounded in hand and thigh. For special gallantry in the engagement he was brevetted a brigadier-general. When the Army of the James made its first trip to cap ture Fort Fisher, under the command of General Butler, the Fifth accompanied him. The attempt was a failure and the troops reembarked in the face of a great storm. The Col onel did not leave the supervision of embarking to officers under him, but personally saw that every enlisted man had embarked for the transport before he stepped into the small boat that left the shore to battle with the roaring surf. General ShurtlefT was a brave and gallant officer, worthy of the highest encomiums. He married Miss Mary E. Burton, at Austinburg, Ohio, December 23, 1864, while on furlough after a severe wound received in the battle of New Market Heights. Two daugh ters were born to them, Laura E. (who married Mr. S. H. Price, of Chicago,) and Mary G., who is unmarried. After the close of the war he again entered the faculty of Oberlin College, with which he was connected until 1887, when he became its treasurer. He died May 6, 1904, and was interred in the cemetery at Oberlin, Ohio. "Blessed are they who die in the Lord." LLEWELLYN R. DAVIS. Capt. Llewellyn R. Davis was born in Wales. He came to Cleveland, Ohio, when quite young, and was educated in the common schools in that city. When Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, issued his call for 75,000 troops at the breaking out of the war of the rebellion, he enlisted as a private in the Cleveland Light Guard Zouaves, in the three months' service, April 17, 1 86 1. This company when mustered into the service became Company A, Seventh Regiment O. V. I., and he was appointed a corporal therein. He reenlisted June 19, 1861, for a period of three years. For gallant and meritorious service in the face of the enemy he was rapidly promoted to the position of captain. He participated in the following battles : Cross Lanes, Virginia, August 26, 1861 (assisting in capturing a flag in this battle); Winchester, Virginia, March 23, 1862; Port Republic, June 9, 1862; Cedar Mountain, Virginia, Au gust 9, 1862; Second Bull Run campaign, August 21 to September 2, 1862; Antietam, Maryland, September 17, 1862; Dumfries, Virginia, December 27, 1862; Chancel- lorsville, Virginia, May i, 2, and 3, 1863; Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July i, 2, and 3, 1863; Wauhatchie, Tennes see, October 29, 1863 (wounded seriously in this engage ment) ; Tunnel Hill and Buzzard's Roost, Georgia, May 5 to 9, 1864; Dug Gap, Georgia, May 8, 1864; Resaca, Geor gia, May 13 to 1 6, 1864; Cassville, Georgia, May 19 and 20, 1864; Dallas, Georgia, May 22 to 24, 1864; captured at Pumpkin Vine Creek, Georgia, May 25, 1864. When cap tured he was an aide-de-camp on the staff of Gen. John W. Geary, and had been for over a year. He was imprisoned in Camp Oglethorpe, Macon, Georgia, Charleston, South Carolina, and Columbia, South Carolina, until exchanged December 29, 1864. He was discharged by order of the War Department to date December 19, 1864. LIEUTENANT COLONEL LLEWELLYN R. DAVIS (Capt. Co. C, 7th O. V. I. — Lieut. Col. 187th O. V. I.)

Mustered out with his regiment January 26, 1866. Colonel Davis is mentioned in the official reports of Gen. John W. Geary, upon whose staff he served from August 9, 1862, until May 25, 1864, for gallant and meritorious con duct in the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wau- hatchie, Dug Gap, Resaca and New Hope Church, where he was captured by mistaking direction and riding into the enemy's line. MARTIN M. ANDREWS. On the day that Fort Sumter was fired on the subject of this sketch celebrated his 22d anniversary. Born on a farm near Flint, Michigan, he was, when the war began, a student in Oberlin College. President Lincoln's call for volunteers was issued April 15. In Oberlin, as everywhere in the North, the most intensely patriotic feeling was aroused. A full company composed of students was at once enrolled, and became, in due course of the organization of the army, Com pany C, Seventh Regiment O. V. I. Young Andrews was among the first to enlist, and was present with his company through the entire term of service. He was promoted through the several grades of non-com missioned officers to first sergeant, in which position, much of the last year, he had command of his company. He took part in the battles of Cross Lanes, Cedar Moun tain (in which he was wounded in the hand), Dumfries, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Lookout Mountain, Resaca, and Dallas. At the close of this term of service he was ap pointed first lieutenant and adjutant of the One Hundred and Eighty-fifth Regiment O. V. I., and subsequently pro moted to captain. In this regiment he served in Kentucky, much of the time on detached duty, as A. D. C. on the staff of Gen. J. F. Wade, with headquarters at Lexington, and was frequently detailed on special duty connected with the settlement of difficulties between citizens and soldiers, dur ing the last year of the war. He was finally mustered out July 26, 1865. Located in business in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1866; and on January 29, 1869, was married to Miss Mary E. Plum, of Flint, Michigan. They have two daughters, Jessie I. and Lora A., the latter now married to W. Carlton Janes. In May, 1875, they removed to Bay City, Michigan, where he entered the office of the Second National Bank, of which he was, in 1877, elected assistant cashier. CAPTAIN MARTIN M. ANDREWS (1st Sergt.

He served two terms as a member of the Bay City School Board. Captain Andrews and wife were charter members of the First Congregational Church of Bay City, in which they have always taken an active interest. He has been officially identified with the Grand Army of the Republic many years, having been elected commander of the local Post four dif ferent terms, and was several times appointed to positions on the staff of the Commander-in-Chief. SELDEN ALLEN DAY. Colonel Selden Allen Day's military career began when lie raised a company of volunteers in Ohio at the first call for troops in 1861. Owing to the excess of troops enrolled under this call his company could not be mustered and was disbanded. Captain Day then enlisted as private in Com pany C, Seventh Ohio Infantry, June 20, 1861, and partici pated in the campaign in West Virginia that year. After the action of Cross Lanes, August 26, where his regiment suffered heavy loss, he was made corporal. In the winter of 1861-62 he was at Loop Creek, Pawpaw, Romney, etc. He was promoted to sergeant and recommended for a commission for gallantry at the battle of Winchester, Vir ginia, March 23, 1862, under General Shields, where he was wounded, but remained at the front, and in a charge of his brigade was one of the first over the stone wall forming part of the defense of the enemy, and was one of a small party following Major Casement of the Seventh Ohio into a battery and capturing the guns. At the close of the fight, with the aid of a comrade, he captured and brought in a staff officer of General Jackson. In the battle of Port Republic, June 9, 1862, Sergeant Day bore an active part, and, though again wounded, formed one of the rear-guard in the retreat after the battle, for which he was highly commended by General Carroll, who commanded in that fight. At the battle of Cedar Mountain, August 9, 1862, where his regiment suffered terribly, Sergeant Day, though at one time "between two fires," escaped unhurt, and at the close of the action was in command of the remnant of three com panies. As a result of the fatigue and hardships of the campaign of 1862, he was for some months in hospital at Frederick, Maryland, where, having formerly studied medicine, while convalescing he performed efficient service, assisting in the SERGEANT SELDEN A. DAY COMPANY C 417 care of the sick and wounded. Being given the option of a discharge for disability or a transfer to the Regular Army as hospital steward, he elected to be transferred in order that he might remain in the service of his country, and was or dered to Baltimore for duty. In the summer of 1863, when that city was threatened, Steward Day, under the Mayor, was instrumental in organizing and drilling for special ser vice companies made up of members of the Union League and convalescents in the hospital. Upon recovering his health he applied for field service and was appointed second lieutenant Fifth Artillery, and in the spring of 1864 was ordered to the front. He joined Battery A in the battle of Cold Harbor and was brevetted first lieutenant for gallantry in that action. He served continuously in the field until the close of the war ; entered Richmond with Battery F, Fifth Artillery, April 3, 1865, and was brevetted captain for "gallant and meritorious ser vices during the war." He was detailed in charge of cholera quarantine at Craney Island, Virginia, and afterward to command Battery F, Fifth Artillery, at Richmond, Virginia, 1866, in which year he was promoted first lieutenant. He was made president of Board of Registration and Elections, and military commis sioner in Virginia under the Reconstruction Acts in 1867-68. He was graduated from the Artillery School in 1874, and from the Medical College of the State of South Carolina, 1880. He was recorder of Board on Magazine Guns, 1881-82; promoted captain Fifth Artillery, 1886, and com manded Fort Wood, Bedloe's Island, New York Harbor, March to June, 1887. He traveled in Europe in 1888; was ordered to the Pa cific Coast in 1890, and commanded Fort Mason, San Fran cisco, California, for four years. Colonel Day, then captain, was mentioned with others in the general order from Headquarters of the Army in 1897 for gallantry displayed in the rescue of seventeen people from a sinking steamer in a storm at Fort Canby, Washing- 27 418 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY ton, February 28, 1896. The next year he spent traveling in the Orient. Colonel Day's record in the war with Spain was also notably brilliant. At the opening of the war he became major of the Fifth Artillery, and while in command at Gal- veston, Texas, was ordered to Tampa, Florida. From there he took out the siege train and reported to the commanding general of the army then in Cuba. With this train he went from Cuba to Porto Rico, being with a part of his command, acting as infantry, in one of the first boats to land at Gua- nica, July 25, 1898, and taking a prominent part in the cap ture of the town. Three days later, his command furnish ing the guard for "headquarters of the army in the field," he went with it to Ponce Playa, where he ran up a ship's flag on the custom house, that being the first United States flag ever hoisted over a public building in Porto Rico. After the promulgation of the peace protocol, he, as commandant of the artillery, took over the forts and armament, hoisted the flag over El Morro Castle at San Juan, and fired the national salute on the day of final occupation, October 18, 1898. Colonel Day's unflagging efforts for the advancement of the profession to which he has given his whole life are also matters of record. It is believed that one of his inventions, a projectile of peculiar construction, will undoubtedly some day be adopted when further relief from excessive pressure in heavy guns becomes imperative through the development of smokeless powder. The "dum-dum," or soft-pointed bullet for small arms, was invented by Colonel Day, and patented by him in all prominent countries except the United States. He has been frequently employed by the Govern ment as well as by the City of New York and others in scien tific work, for which his qualifications as a physician and surgeon, an expert rifle shot, and his knowledge of explo sives specially fit him. While serving on the island of Porto Rico as commander of artillery and ordnance officer, he took an active interest in the development and Americanizing of our new posses sions in that part of the world; experimenting in agricul- Colonel Selden Allen Day, UNITED STATES ARMY, RETIRED COMPANY C 419 ture and stock raising, thus anticipating the efforts of the Government in that line. When the first battalion of the Porto Rican regiment was authorized Colonel Day took an active interest in its organi zation, believing the service to be the best possible school in patriotism for the natives. After a long term of duty in the tropics Colonel Day was ordered home and placed in command at Fort Williams, Portland, Maine. He is now colonel, U. S. A., retired. CHARLES PENDLETON BOWLER. Charles Pendleton Bowler was born at Auburn, Geauga County, Ohio, October 26, 1834, and was the son of George Irish and Lucy Chesbrough Barber Bowler. Eis grand parents were Charles Bowler and Rebecca Irish, on his mother's side Nathan Barber and Mary Pendleton. His predilection was for the Christian ministry and for several years attended school at Hiram, Ohio, under James A. Gar- field as teacher. In the year 1859 he was sent to Oberlin College, at Oberlin, Ohio, to complete his education, and to graduate therefrom fitted for the ministry, which he had se lected as his life-work. At the breaking out of the civil war, under the call of President Abraham Lincoln for 75,000 volunteers, a com pany was raised consisting wholly of the students of the college, under command of three of its professors, and he enlisted as a private therein, April 17, 1861, for a period of three months. On arrival of the organization at Camp Tay lor, Cleveland, Ohio, it was assigned to the Seventh Regi ment O. V. I., as Company C, and was known as such there after. He was promoted to sergeant and the regiment was transferred to Camp Dennison, situated near Cincinnati, Ohio, for drill and discipline and to receive its equipments. June 19, Bowler reenlisted in the service of the United States for a period of three years, and was reappointed sergeant on account of good behavior and soldierly conduct, and served in that capacity until killed in action. After reenlistment the regiment was sent to West Virginia, where he participated in the battles of Cross Lanes, August 26, 1861; Winchester, March 23, 1862; Port Re public, June 9, 1862, and numerous skirmishes and marches, suffering from hunger, cold and wet for the future good of his country, which was borne uncomplainingly by him. Af ter the latter-named battle the regiment was sent to Alex andria, Virginia, for recuperation. While there he sent the SERGEANT CHARLES P. BOWLER (Killed at Battle of Cedar Mountain, Va., Aug. 9th, 1862.) COMPANY C 421 following letter to the Cleveland Leader, which was pub lished in their columns, and was probably one of the last that was written by him. "CAMP NEAR ALEXANDRIA, July 4, 1862. "DEAR L^ADKR: If you had been in this neighborhood last evening you would have thought from the lively ap pearance of our camp that something was going on. As soon as it was dark those who had provided themselves with fireworks began to display them. Some of them were very fine, the bands played lively airs, and the boys seemed to enjoy themselves very much. This morning we were re viewed by General Tyler and staff, many citizens of Wash ington being present. After passing in review and being formed in solid column, Sergeant Bowler of Company C, Seventh Ohio, read the Declaration of Independence. Chap lain Wright then delivered a short address and offered prayer for the success of our arms. General Tyler then made a short speech telling what had transpired during the past year. He said when we left Ohio the brigade was four thousand strong ; it now numbers a little more than a thou sand. His remarks were appreciated by all and I could see many tearful eyes around me. The General is a good man and a fine officer, and is well worthy of the position he now occupies. "After returning to camp and partaking of dinner the boys pitched upon the commissioned officers who have lately been promoted and made them stand treat, which they did willingly. General Tyler then 'treated the brigade/ which caused a great deal of amusement. At 3 p. M. the order was given for the Seventh to fall in, which we did, and marched to front of Colonel Creighton's quarters, where General Tyler introduced us to the Hon. A. G. Riddle, who made a short and beautiful speech. "On Wednesday I paid a visit to Fort Worth. It was built last winter by the New Jersey boys, and mounts twelve guns. In the fort there is a battery of steel guns presented 422 S£V£NTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY to the U. S. Government by the loyal Americans in Eng land. "Our regiment is now resting and we are enjoying good health. Our numbers are small but I think they are effec tive. Since I wrote you last I have seen a portion of the Bull Run battlefield. "We expected to go to Richmond, but the order was countermanded, so we are now camped about three miles from Alexandria, and may move at any moment. Will write you again when anything special turns up. "Yours, "CHARTS P. Something special did turn up, and the regiment was or dered to join General Sigel at Little Washington, Virginia, but the order was changed later and it was assigned to the corps of Major-General N. P. Banks. Taking the cars at Alexandria it moved to Warrenton, Virginia, remaining in camp there for a few days. Marched to Culpeper Court House, Va., where it went into camp. Hardly was it estab lished, before the boom of cannon was heard. The men were ordered into ranks and marched in the direction of the firing, and soon reached the neighborhood of Cedar Moun tain, Virginia, where it went into action immediately, sup porting artillery, and then passing it moved to the front line of battle, where an enfilading fire on both flanks and front tore the regiment to pieces. Sergeant Bowler was killed in this battle, which was fought August 9, 1862. He was known as a Christian gen tleman and as a brave and patriotic soldier by his comrades. "Blessed are they who die in the Lord." "Their ways are ways of pleasantness and all their paths are peace." SERGEANT HOBART G. ORTON ROBERT G. ORTON. Hobert G. Orton was born at Shelby, Richland County, Ohio, in the year 1838, and is a son of Treat and Rozetta (Du Bois) Orton, natives of the State of New York. His father was of English and his mother of Holland descent. His father was a pioneer settler of Ohio, having gone there in 1822. He has one brother and two sisters — Angeline C. (widow of Dr. William H. Bunker, deceased, late of Hamil ton County, Ohio), E. Chase (of Williams County, Ohio), Sarah A. (wife of Dr. Albert Wilber, of Williams County, Ohio). Hobert G. Orton was raised on a farm, and attended the common schools of his neighborhood. At the age of seven teen he commenced to teach school. His first school was in the Swall District, in Crawford County, Ohio. While teaching he "boarded round," as was the usual way at that time. He received a liberal education at Oberlin College, and was able to pay his way partly by manual labor and teaching during the winter months. While at college, in April, 1861, he enlisted as a private in Company C, Seventh Regiment O. V. I., for a period of three months; reenlisted June 19 for three years, and was with the regiment continuously until dangerously wounded in the thigh, his right thigh bone being broken near the hip joint by a gun shot, and he was cap tured, and was confined with eight others in a small room about nine by fifteen feet. On the floor was placed a small quantity of hay, with a wagon cover spread over it. This constituted their only bed and most of them were desper ately wounded. After the battle of Carnifax Ferry, Vir ginia, he was rescued by the Union troops under Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, and taken to a field hospital near by, and from there transferred to the St. John's Hospital at Cincinnati, Ohio, his brother E. C. Orton superintending the transfer. He was placed under the charge of Dr. Blackburn, a dis- 424 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY tinguished surgeon of those times. While at this hospital he underwent two severe surgical operations, from tin.; effects of which he still suffers, and is often confined to his bed for weeks at a time, and was discharged from thence September 2, 1862. While in the hospital he traded his army overcoat for two old volumes of "Blackstone's Commentaries," which he studied carefully during the weary months there. After ward, he attended the Law University at Ann Arbor, Michi gan, and was admitted to the bar in the year 1864. In 1866 he located at Princeton, Missouri, and engaged in the practice of his profession in partnership with Ira B. Hyde, which existed to 1891. He is a man of good business ability, and has been successful in the practice of his profes sion. December 6, 1865, he was married to Miss Angeline C. Stewart, a native of Vermont, by whom he has three chil dren living — Helen Du Bois, Ira D., and Elden C. Mrs. Helen Du Bois (wife of J. C. Mounet), now resides in Cam bridge, Massachusetts ; Ira D. is a lawyer in Nome, Alaska, and his youngest son is a lawyer, now in business with his father. Orton has always been an ardent Republican, and since his residence in Missouri has always taken an active part in politics. He served eight years as probate judge of Mercer County, and has been three times elected as its prosecuting attorney. He still makes a very good showing, wrestling with the infirmities of his wound and age. SERGEANT EDGAR M. CONDIT EDGAR MANTELBERT CONDIT. Edgar Mantelbert Condit was born a farmer's boy Jan uary 24, 1840, in Trenton Township, Delaware County, Ohio. One morning early in May, 1856, he climbed into a covered wagon loaded with household goods, to drive the team to Anamosa, Iowa. It was one of nine wagons em bracing his father's family and two of his sons-in-law. This trip as it seemed to him at the time was likely to re main the event of his lifetime. For three years he shared the novelty as well as the hardships of a pioneer life on a frontier prairie. At nineteen he had the choice of a college education or to continue on the farm. He chose the former and began his studies at Oberlin with the fall term of 1859, teaching country district schools during the college winter vacations, and pursuing his studies the balance of the year until the war broke out in April, 1861. His was among the first fifty names subscribed to the enlistment roll at that memorable Saturday night — April 2Oth — meeting in the old First Church. By Monday morning the allotment of one hundred was overflowing, while some cried because there was no room for them. A few days later this band of stu dents became Company C of the Seventh O. V. I. Following, and probably the result of long exposure in mountains, after the battle of Cross Lanes he had a long siege of typhoid fever accompanied by other ills, which cul minated in his absence from the company from early No vember, 1861, until August, 1862, joining his company again at Culpeper a few days after the battle of Cedar Mountain. He participated with his company in the battles of Cross Lanes, Antietam, the skirmish at Berryville, Vir ginia, and the fight at Dumfries, where he was severely wounded in the left thigh. On account of this wound he was discharged from the service at Alexandria, Virginia, February n, 1863. He served in the ranks until Novem- 426 S£V£NTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY her i, 1862, when he was made a corporal. January i, 1863, he was promoted to sergeant. He reentered the service for the last year of the war with Battery G, Second Illinois Light Artillery. He was at once detailed to Sixteenth Army Corps headquarters, where he served with the Chief of Artillery, John W. Lowell. He participated in the reduction of Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely on the gulf, and later the capture of Mobile and Montgomery, and was discharged at Springfield, Illinois, September 4, 1865. The war over, the old zeal to complete his college course could not be summoned back, and so he fell into matrimony with Miss Eliza Bell, whose acquaintance he had made while they were both Oberlin students. She was the eldest daugh ter of the Hon. James A. Bell, of Medina County, Ohio. They were married February 8, 1866, but no children were ever born to them. Following his marriage three years' farming was enough. He plunged into the general insur ance business with several Western States for his field. He added the banking business, and a little later real estate on his own account, first at Anamosa, then in Chicago after 1887. In 1902 he was not rich as wealth is measured nowadays, but he had sense enough to retire for a well-earned vacation. Following this retirement from business he and his wife visited all the countries of Europe, Northern Africa, and much of Asia, including Palestine, Siberia, Japan, China, Ceylon, and India. On his return to the United States in 1904 he published "Two Years in Three Continents" — a book of over 600 pages and many illustrations covering their observations, impressions, and experiences in many lands and with many peoples. Its matter had been edited as they journeyed, and not taken out of notes in "cold storage" on their return. Now he and his wife live by the sea, at Day- tona, Fla., with only the supervision of a large orange grove for a business. Their Southern home is wholly modern, with a wealth of semi-tropical growth about it, while their deep verandas offer pleasant shade as he leisurely recalls CAPTAIN ELIAS W. MOREY (Sergt. Co. C, 7th O. V. I.— dipt. Co. D, 9th U. S. C. T.) COMPANY C 427 the momentous events and developments of his country the past fifty years, as well, also, the pleasing memories of his soldier days, his busy life, his tour around the Old World, his trip through New England, Alaska, California, and Old Mexico, for these must contribute much of his pleasure as old age comes on apace. CHARLES HALL BUXTON. Charles Hall Buxton was born in Batavia, Genesee County, New York, September 7, 1836. In his youth he attended the public school until fourteen years of age, then assisted his father in business. In the fall of 1854, at the age of eighteen, wishing to obtain a liberal education he went to Oberlin, Ohio, and entered the Preparatory Department of Oberlin College. In order to partly meet his expenses he taught school winters, and worked two and three hours a day during term time. He entered college in 1856, studied three years, and then spent one year teaching school in La Fayette, Indiana. He then returned to college and pursued his studies until the spring of 1861, being then in the senior class expecting to graduate in the month of August. When the news reached the college that Fort Sumter had been fired upon and war declared between the North and South, he, with one hundred other students, after serious deliberation, decided to take up arms in defense of their country. He enlisted in the United States service for three months at Camp Taylor, Cleveland, Ohio, April 30, 1861, the organ ization being designated as Company C, Seventh Regiment O. V. I. After some time drilling in Camp Dennison the call for three years was made and he responded by being mustered in again June 19, 1861. He served as private, corporal, and sergeant. He was engaged in several skir mishes and battles, Cross Lanes, Winchester, Port Republic and Cedar Mountain. In the latter he was wounded in the shoulder and forearm. While in the hospital at Alexandria, Virginia, he was unanimously elected by the company in October, 1862, to take its command, but the uncertainty of his early recovery rendered it inexpedient to forward his name to the Governor for a commission. After partial re covery, served as clerk in the Mansion House Hospital, Alexandria; acting hospital steward from January, 1863, to January, 1864, when he was detailed by the War Depart- SERGEANT CHARLES H. BUXTON CORPORAL THERON E. W. ADAMS COMPANY C 429 ment as clerk to the Adjutant-General's Office, where he remained until he was mustered out of service June 19, 1864, by Adjutant-General Samuel Breed, U. S. A., at War Department, Washington, D. C. Immediately after ward, on the recommendation of Senator B. F. Wade, he received an appointment in the United States Treasurer's Office, Washington, D. C. In 1866 he entered Columbia Law College and was ad mitted to the bar of the District of Columbia in 1869. In October, 1866, he married a classmate, Miss Sarah P. Jewell, and has now living one daughter and four sons. In 1900 he married as his second wife Mrs. Helen Davis Merriman. At the present time he is a bookkeeper in the United States Treasurer's Office and resides at Falls Church, Virginia, where he is enjoying his old age at the homestead ''Chestnut Hill" overlooking the capital of the nation. DEATH OF SERGEANT O. C. TREMBLED. One of the saddest incidents, resulting in the loss of life, in our experience, was the death of Sergeant Oliver C. Trembley, who was accidentally drowned in the Ohio River on June 24, 1864, when the regiment was returning home to be mustered out of service. The old stern-wheel steamboat on which we were loaded was passing up through a narrow rapid current, near the Kentucky shore, a short distance above Rising Sun, Indiana, when Trembley, in the act of passing along the unguarded edge of the lower deck, slipped and fell overboard. The alarm was at once given and the boat stopped. Prompt and thorough effort was made to recover the body, but without immediate success. Private Hiram Parsons was detailed to remain and continue the search. After three days the body arose to the surface, and Parsons brought it to Cleveland in a metallic case, and it was sent, under an escort of four of his comrades, to the home of his parents at North Fairfield, Ohio. The death of Sergeant Trembley at this time was pecu liarly distressing. He had written to his mother from Geor gia that his fighting was over and he would soon be home. When the regiment was passing through Ohio the expectant parents drove from the farm to meet their son at the rail road station. Inquiring first of Company D, no one had the courage to tell them the sad truth, but Orderly Sergeant Lawrence Wilson directed them to Company C, where the parents first learned of the death of their boy. Oliver C. Trembley was born in Huron County, Ohio, December 4, 1841, and at the beginning of the war was a student in Oberlin College. He was present with his com pany continuously and was one of the very few members of the regiment who was not wounded in battle, though he par ticipated in nearly every engagement in which the regiment took part. — Contributed by M.

There is perhaps no pastime so pleasant as reading, no reading equal to biography, and no biography so thrilling as that of the "Boys in Blue." The subject of this sketch was born in England, October 25, 1842. He came to this country soon after the death of his parents, when a young boy, and was educated in the common schools. At the age of nineteen, when the call for volunteers came in the early sixties, the land of his adoption had become so dear to him that realizing the need of immediate action, when the insults to the Stars and Stripes made such dire consequences possible, he enlisted in the Seventh Ohio In fantry, at Cleveland, Ohio, in Company C, as a private, Sep tember n, 1862. He served the country faithfully and with devotion until disabled by a bursting shell, at Dumfries Landing, Virginia, making necessary the amputation of his right leg. He met this calamity as a boy of twenty, just as he did every reverse in subsequent life, with unflinching courage and quiet fortitude. He was honorably discharged at Wash ington, D. C., August 12, 1863, crippled for life, and his fondest hopes blighted. Notwithstanding the disadvan tages under which he labored, nothing daunted, he applied himself unaided to the study of the law, and after a few years became proficient in his chosen profession and was admitted to the bar. Here he applied himself as in his mili tary career, with indomitable courage, and was ever true to his highest ideals. His integrity of character was always unquestioned, whether in the many public offices he held, or in private life. He discharged every trust with fidelity and ability, and his excellent qualities were appreciated by all He was married to Miss Annette Davidson at Parkers, Oregon. She died, February 20, 1879, leaving a son,. An- dell, who was only eighteen months old. This son still re sides at Parkers, Oregon. PHILIP GRIGSBY SERGEANT OWEN HICKS (Private Co. C, 7th O. V.

Mr. Grigsby was a member of the G. A. R. from its ear liest history, and thus aided in keeping alive the principles for which he so earnestly contended when but a mere boy. He answered to the final roll-call April 5, 1890, in Mercer County, California, thus closing a life which left as a rich heritage to his many friends the memory of a well-spent probation, cheering and making happier all around him. His life and death were worthy the soldier and gentleman he surely was. "You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will, But the scent of the roses will cling to it still."

He entered the service of the Cleve land Fire Department in 1863; was its secretary ten years, and captain of Mazeppa No. i. He became Assistant Chief in 1880. He devised the fire pipe line system for the fire boats, which has since been extended in Cleveland, and adopted by other cities, resulting in large saving in expense of hose and delay of laying long lines. He promulgated what is known as the fire cadet system, whereby young men entering the Cleveland department as cadets have two years of training before being accepted as firemen, advancing in grade and salary each six months as they show progress, or are rejected. After more than thirty years, during which time he received many bad injuries, he retired upon the urgent solicitation of his family. (474) ARTHUR A. CAVANNAH CHARLES T. GARRARD (Private Co. H, 7th O. V. I. — Regimental Q. M. Serg't 6th U. S. Cavalry.) CHARLES T. GARRARD. Charles T. Garrard enlisted October 5, 1861, at Warren, Ohio, and remained at Warren about one week, then left for the front via Cleveland, Ohio, to Columbus, Ohio, where he was mustered in. From there the company went to Cin cinnati, Ohio, and drew uniforms, and then up the Ohio River to Point Pleasant, West Virginia, thence via the Kan- awha River to Charleston, West Virginia. The regiment at that time was at Gauley Bridge on a reconnaissance. He was constantly with the regiment through its various winter campaigns until it reached the vicinity of Winchester. Was at the battle of Winchester March 23, 1862, and at the battle of Port Republic, June 9, 1862, and at this battle he assisted Capt. Geo. L. Wood of Company D, who was severely wounded in the thigh, off the field, never leaving him until he reached an ambulance. Lieutenant King, quartermaster, assisted greatly, as he furnished a Confederate officer's cap tured horse to carry Captain Wood off the field. Captain Wood was nearly midway between the Union and Confed erate lines when discovered, and needed assistance. We were retiring at the time in good order. This was after the regiment had fallen back about seventeen miles and formed a junction with the balance of the division. He then went to Alexandria with the Seventh and camped near Fort Ellsworth, where their muskets were changed for Springfield rifles. He was with the regiment at the battle of Cedar Mountain. At this battle the regiment suffered terribly, over two out of three being killed or wounded, and he would have been there yet if Adjutant Molyneaux had not come through the smoke to the right of the regiment with an order to fall back, and when he got back a little he found there were only two in this retreat, namely Corporal Trimmer and himself. The balance of the regiment had al ready left the field. Then followed the various campaigns in and around the second battle of Bull Run and Chantilly, (475) 476 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY and thence through Maryland to South Mountain. Was at the battle of Antietam, September 17, 1862, and with the regiment in camp on Loudoun Heights, Virginia. On Oc tober 23, 1862, under a general order from the War De partment, he enlisted for the remainder of his time in the Sixth U. S. Cavalry, and was discharged as regimental quartermaster sergeant, Sixth U. S. Cavalry. f REUBEN R. HINE SURGEON ROBERT D. MURRAY (Private Co. H, 7th O. V. I. — Surgeon U. S. Marine Hospital Corps.) ROBERT DRAKE MURRAY. Robert Drake Murray was born at Ohlton, Trumbtill County, Ohio, April 21, 1845. He was a son of Joseph Arbor and Nancy (Drake) Murray and grandson of John Ferguson Murray. He was educated in the common schools at Bluffton, Ohio, and was licensed to teach, school at fifteen and again at eighteen years of age. He enlisted as a private in Company H, Seventh Regi ment O. V. L, April 19, 1 86 1, for three months, and reen- listed for three years June 19, 1861. He participated in the battles of Cross Lanes, Winchester, Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, Virginia, and Antietam, Maryland, and was honorably discharged from the service of the United States November 29, 1862, on account of a severe wound received in action. September 9, 1863, he reenlisted as a private in the Twelfth O. V. C. and was promoted to the position of brevet lieutenant. Was wounded four times; was a prisoner of war nearly five months, and was discharged from the service July 10, 1865. After the war he commenced the study of medicine at the Tripler U. S. Army Hospital at Columbus, Ohio, in the year 1865, and the Cleveland Medical College, receiving the de gree of M. D. in 1868 in the latter named college, and then took a course in the Jefferson Medical College, graduating as M. D. in 1871, having been resident physician to Philadel phia Hospital eighteen months — 1870-1871. Dr. Murray was appointed acting assistant surgeon, U. S. Navy, 1871-72, and was on active duty in the United States Hospital Service after April, 1872, serving at Key West, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; Norfolk, Vir ginia; Vicksburg, Mississippi; Memphis, Tennessee, and Gulf Quarantine, Mississippi. He was a specialist on yellow fever and was always called upon by his superior officers when that dread scourge in- SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY vaded the United States. Nineteen years of his life were spent in fighting it in various cities in the South. He was postmaster at Bluff ton, Ohio, in 1865, 1866, and has been connected with all of the leading medical associa tions since 1870. He was a member of the Odd Fellows. He was a free and accepted Mason and Knight Templar. He was a member of the G. A. R. and U. V. U., Seventh Regiment O. V. L, and Twelfth O. V. C. Associations, and National Association of United States Ex-Prisoners of War. Dr. Murray was a prolific writer on medical subjects and his publications were accepted as authority on everything connected with yellow fever. He married, in 1875, Miss Lillie, daughter of Rev. C. A. Falwood, at Key West, Florida. She died at Ship Island Quarantine, in 1881, leaving five children — three daughters, Gillie, Rebah, Karlie; and two sons, Robert Falwood and Joseph Arbor Murray. Dr. Murray died at Laredo, Texas, November 22, 1903. SALMON S. PELTON GEORGE W. OLIVER GEORGE W. OLIVER. George W. Oliver was born in Lancaster County, Penn sylvania, on October 19, 1827, and received a common school education. He enlisted August n, 1862, in Cleveland, Ohio, and was assigned to Company H, Seventh O. V. L, and joined his command on October 9, 1862, on Loudoun Heights, Vir ginia. He served faithfully and honorably and participated in the battles of Dumfries, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Ringgold, Resaca, New Hope Church, Pine Knob and at Kenesaw Moun tain, Georgia, on June 19, 1864, where he was wounded and suffered amputation of his right leg above the knee, and was thus disabled from further service. Before his dis charge he was transferred to the rolls of Company G, Fifth Ohio Infantry, October 31, 1864, and was discharged at Camp Dennison, Ohio, on June 21, 1865. He was a miller by trade, and for twenty-five years followed that occupation at Ohltown, Hubbard, and Girard, Ohio. He was thrice married, the last time on September i, 1872, to Arcana McCartney of Girard, Ohio. His daugh ter, Dorothy Edelyn Oliver, who has taken an interest in her father's record as a faithful and gallant soldier, is now Mrs. William J. Grant, of Washington, D. C., at 219 North Capitol street. When Comrade Oliver became disabled from rheuma tism and the infirmities of age, in accordance with a cher ished desire, on January 6, 1903, he was admitted to the State Soldiers' Home at Sandusky, Ohio, where he died on April 1 8, 1905, and was buried in the cemetery there. His record as a soldier is one of which his ancestry may well be proud, as he was not only faithful and true, but brave and gallant in the face of the enemy, and shed his blood upon the battlefield of Kenesaw Mountain for his country. ADDISON WHITE. Addison White was born in Southington, Ohio, on July 24, 1841, and was educated in the common schools of that day. He enlisted at Warren, Ohio, in Company H, Seventh Ohio Infantry, and was mustered in at Camp Dennison, Ohio, on June 20, 1861. He served as a private soldier all through his three years' service, declining promotion repeat edly offered him. He participated in battle at Cross Lanes, Kernstown, Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, Antietam and Dumfries, when he was detailed as a stretcher-bearer in the ambulance corps of Geary's division of the Twelfth Army Corps, and filled this position gallantly at Chancellorsville and Gettys burg, going well to the front and bringing off to a place of safety severely wounded and disabled comrades. At Gettysburg, during the terrific artillery duel between the two armies on July 3, 1863, while passing a battery whose men had been so reduced by the enemy's shot and shell as to leave scarcely enough men to serve the guns, Ad dison White, like the brave and gallant soldier that he was, volunteered to assist the gunners, and did so until the artil lery firing, before the great charge, ended. He fought at Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, Tennessee, and Ringgold, Georgia, in the Southwest, and was severely wounded at the latter place. He was mustered out July 7, 1864, at Cleveland, Ohio, with his company. He was married July 27, 1864, in Southington, Ohio, to Maryetta Curtis, to whom two sons and three daughters were born. He died of blood poisoning from his wound, which never healed, but gradually grew worse, until after untold suffering he died in Nelson, Ohio, on May 9, 1901, and was buried at Southington Center, near where he had lived for so many years. Jjj^^^^^ w ^< ADDISON WHITE COMPANY H 481 Addison White was a man who gave his life to his coun try's cause; a good citizen; a kind and indulgent husband and father; a good comrade and a true and faithful friend. May his soul rest in peace. RILEY WHITE. Riley White was born in October, 1844, in Southington township, Trumbull County, Ohio, and was educated in common district schools. He enlisted at Warren, Ohio, on October 7, 1861, as a recruit in Company H, Seventh Ohio Infantry, and joined the regiment at Charleston, West Virginia. He was at Romney, and on the scout to Blue's Gap ; starved and froze with his comrades at Phillip's Cross Roads; in battles at Kernstown, Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, and Antietam. He was taken seriously ill at Harper's Ferry, and on No vember 19, 1862, was discharged on certificate of disability to save his life. By reason of his youth and rapid growth, like many others, Pope's retreat from Culpeper to Sharps- burg wore him out. On February 7, 1865, he reenlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Eighty-fifth Ohio Infantry, and served until September 19, 1865, when he was dis charged at Nashville, Tennessee. On April 26, 1866, he married Lucy Philpot, at Kilgore, Carroll County, Ohio. Two sons and three daughters were born to them. Since the war he has been a farmer. On June 9, 1862, while in battle at Port Republic, Vir ginia, Riley White — then fighting beside his elder brother, Addison — remembered his father (whom he called "Pap"), and wishing him to have some part in the lively contest then going on with Stonewall Jackson's champion fighters, Riley stepped up closely to his brother and said, "Add, let's load up and give 'em one for Pap !" Addison consented, and af ter carefully loading for the occasion, they took deliberate aim and fired a modest volley of two pieces, in honor and memory of their good loyal father, who then had five of his six sons, then old enough to go to war, at the front, Riley White, now resides in Warren, Ohio, (482) RILEY WHITE LIEUTENANT JOSEPH CRYNE (Killed at Battle of Ringgold, Ga., Nov. 27th, 1863.) MAJOR ERNST J. KRIEGER (Capt. Co. K, 7th O. V. I. — Major 177th O. V. I. — Died March 14th, 1881.) COMPANY K. ERNST J. KRIEGER. Capt. Ernst J. Krieger was born in Germany in the year 1833. He was educated in the common schools of his na tive country, and was especially proficient in his native lan guage. He emigrated with his parents to the United States when he was young and settled at Cleveland, Ohio. In November, 1860, the "Cleveland Turn Verein," on account of the mutterings of a civil war, commenced learn ing military drill so as to be prepared, and he was one of the most patriotic members of the organization. April 1 8, 1 86 1, at the first firing on Fort Sumter he joined the "National Guards" for a period of three months as a private. This company was mustered into the service of the United States as Company K, Seventh Regiment O. V. L, and was known as such thereafter. Reenlisted June 19, 1861, for a period of three years or during the war. He was rapidly promoted to the position of captain for gallant and meritorious service in the face of the enemy, and was mustered out with his regiment on account of expiration of its term of service July 6, 1864, as such officer. He participated in the following battles: Cross Lanes, Virginia, August 26, 1861 ; Winchester, Virginia, March 23, 1862; Port Republic, Virginia, June 9, 1862; Cedar Mountain, Virginia, August 9, 1862; Second Bull Run campaign, August 20 to September 2, 1862; Antietam, Maryland, September 17, 1862 (wounded in the head in the latter-named battle) ; Dumfries, Virginia, December 27, 1862; Chancellorsville, Virginia, May i, 2, and 3, 1863; Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July I, 2, and 3, 1863; Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, November 24, 1863; Missionary Ridge, Tennessee, November 25, 1863 ; Ringgold, Georgia, November 27, 1863 (wounded) ; Dug Gap, Georgia, May (483) 484 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY 8, 1864; Rocky Face Ridge, Georgia, May u, 1864; Re- saca, Georgia, May 13 and 15, 1864; New Hiope Church, or Dallas, Georgia, May 26, 1864. After the muster out of his regiment he was appointed major of the One Hundred and Seventy-seventh O. V. I. and joined that command, and was mustered out with it at the close of the war, when he returned to Cleveland, Ohio, and became a partner in a machine building firm which was a failure. He had several attacks of paralysis brought on on account of the wound he had received at Antietam, and in 1878 was admitted to the Soldiers' Home at Dayton, Ohio. He remained there until he died, March 14, 1881. He was buried with full military honors in Section B, Row 12, Grave 27, Home Cemetery, where a marble stone bearing name, command, etc., was placed,. Krieger was an exceptionally brave and patriotic soldier, and his early demise was occasioned by the wound he had received in action. Requiescat in pace. CAPTAIN JOHN F. SCHUTTE (As he appeared on enlistment in the Mexican War — Killed i skirmish near Cross Lanes, Va., Aug. 20th, 1861.) FREDERICK H. SCHMIDT SEVENTH REGIMENT MONUMENT Woodland Cemetery, Cleveland, O. Miscellany SEVENTH REGIMENT MONUMENT AT CLEVE LAND, OHIO. BY CAPT. GEO. A. McKAY. A monument to the lamented dead of the Seventh Regi ment Ohio Volunteer Infantry was erected at Cleveland, Ohio, in the year 1872, having been contracted for in the year 1867. A. & G. Dodds of Xenia, Ohio, and St. Louis, Missouri, were the contractors, they agreeing to erect the monument for such funds as might be raised by subscrip tion, not to exceed $15,000. The monument was to consist of Quincy granite for the base, and the shaft of Peterhead red, and the eagle with outstretched wings of Peterhead gray granite. The granite was cut at the quarries, polished, and the list of battles carved thereon before the material left Scotland, which necessitated great delay before everything was ready for transportation to the United States. The original committee, as appointed by the Seventh Regiment O. V. I. Association, consisted of George A. McKay, Frank Rockefeller, E. J. Krieger, and Frank But ton, all of Cleveland, Ohio, and E. W. Force of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. This committee was changed repeatedly before the monument was completed. The next one ap pointed was made up of Jos. B. Molyneaux, William A. Howe, George A. McKay, Frank Rockefeller, Jere G. Claflin, and T. T. Sweeney. The final committee consisted of Frank Rockefeller, chairman; J. B. Molyneaux, W. A. Howe, Frank Williams, J. G. Claflin, C. Cowan, William Southwell, W. T. Callow, and T. T. Sweene>. 486 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY All of the committees as appointed by the regiment are entitled to its thanks for the zeal displayed by them in rais ing funds for the purpose indicated above, by subscriptions from private persons not affiliated with the regiment, mem bers of the regiment, by dinners furnished in a tent on the square by the ladies of Cleveland, Ohio, boat rides, and raffling a horse furnished by Gen. E. B. Tyler — the latter means being a regular gold brick, the profits being on the wrong side of the ledger by a large majority. Every member of the different committees did his level best to achieve success, but it was ascertained that it would be impossible to raise subscriptions equaling $15,000, and a new contract was entered into by the contracting parties, the contractors agreeing to accept $8,500, the amount raised by the committee, as full compensation for the monument, and it was erected in Woodland Cemetery on a lot donated by the city of Cleveland. The committee had paid all expenses and duties on the different parts as they had arrived, by which means the con tractors were at no actual outlay, and were perfectly satis fied when the subscription lists were turned over to them with the balance of the cash raised. In fact, they stated that they made nothing, nor did they lose one cent by the last contract. At the dedication of the monument the principal speakers were Gen. John W. Geary, Governor of the State of Penn sylvania; Gen. Erastus B. Tyler, and Maj. William Mc- Kinley, afterward President of the United States, all of whom eulogized the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and testified to their patriotism and valor in the face of the enemy. 9Efi!ut§I BRIGADE MONUMENT Battlefield of Antietam, Md. THE MONUMENT AT ANTIETAM, MARYLAND. The joint monument to the Fifth, Seventh, and Sixty- sixth Regiments of Ohio Infantry, provided by the State of Ohio and located upon the north side of the Hagerstown turnpike nearly opposite to the Dunker Church, was dedi cated in the presence of Governor Nash, the members of the Ohio Antietam Battlefield Commission, Assistant Secretary of War Hon.

By request a historical sketch of the Seventh was pre pared by Lawrence Wilson of Company D, who at the dedi cation, on behalf of Tyndale's brigade, read the official re port of Major Orrin J. Crane, detailing the movements of these regiments at the battle of Antietam, and in front of Dunker Church. (487) THE REGIMENTAL MONUMENT AT GETTYS BURG. On the 4th of May, 1885, the General Assembly of the State of Ohio passed an Act "To appropriate money to pur chase land upon which to erect a monument to the memory of the soldiers of Ohio who died upon the battlefield of Get tysburg." The Act thus entitled appropriated for the pur pose named the sum of $5,000, to be expended upon the requisition of the Adjutant-General, subject to the direction of the Battlefield Memorial Commission. For consultation as to the best means of carrying into effect the purpose of this act, a meeting of the surviving Ohio soldiers who took part in the battle was called by the Adjutant-General, and was held at the State Capitol, July 4, 1885. At this meet ing a resolution was adopted without dissent, expressing the desire of the survivors of the battle, that the money appro priated by the Act of May 4 should first provide for designa ting all the localities on the field where Ohio soldiers fought, and recommending delay in expenditure of the appropria tion should the law not authorize such designation. At the same meeting a committee was appointed to accompany the Adjutant-General to Gettysburg, and assist him in locating the positions in which Ohio troops fought. On the I3th of the ensuing month this committee met at Gettysburg, repre sentations from the Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Twenty-fifth, Twenty-ninth, Fifty-fifth, Sixty-first, Sixty-sixth, Seventy- third, Seventy-fifth, and One Hundred and Seventh Ohio In fantry, and from Battery H First Ohio Light Artillery, and after inspecting the field the committee held an adjourned meeting, and by resolution declared it to be the sense of those present that the sum of $2,000 should be appropriated for each Ohio regiment, battery, or other organization which took part in the battle, for the erection upon the proper positions of suitable' monuments and tablets, and for MONUMENTS 489 purchasing* plats, opening thoroughfares, and keeping the grounds and memorials in good condition. tij^t tjie ; next session of the General Assembly an amenda- tpry, jafld .supplementary act was passed on April 21, 1886, appropriating in addition to the $5,000 previously appropri ated, the sum of $35,000 to be used by a commission con sisting of 'the Adjutant-General, Secretary of State, and .Auditor of State, in meeting the expense of obtaining ground and sites on the battlefield of Gettysburg, and for locating, procuring, and erecting suitable monuments and memorials commemorative of the deeds of the soldiers from Ohio who fought there. This commission met at Gettys burg on July 15 and 16, 1886, and made careful inspection and examination of the positions occupied by Ohio organiza tions during the battle, and after mature deliberation de cided that each organization should 'have its own special monument, no two alike in pattern and design, and each to cost $1,500. Bids were at once advertised for and con tracts let for the preparation of these memorials, and on Wednesday, September 14, 1887, they were formally dedi cated and turned over to the Gettysburg Battlefield Com mission for future care and protection. EXERCISES AT THE NATIONAL, CEMETERY ROSTRUM. A national salute was fired at sunrise, and at 9 o'clock A. M. Governor Foraker and his staff, the Memorial Commis sion, the surviving members of the commemorated organ izations, and the invited guests were escorted by the Four teenth Regiment of Ohio Militia to Cemetery Hill, where an artillery salute to the Governor was fired, and the regiment being paraded in its camp presented arms. The proces sion then moved to the Rostrum in the National Cemetery, where the formal exercises of the day took place as an nounced in the program. Captain Geo. A. McKay, who was present on that occasion, has kindly written the fol lowing interesting account of the proceedings there: 490 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY DEDICATION OF THE MONUMENTS ON THE BATTLEFIELD OF GETTYSBURG, PA., SEPTEMBER 14, 1887. It was my good fortune to participate with a great many others of the Seventh Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the greatest battle of the civil war of 1861 to 1865, to wit : Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. As you will remember, we were encamped the night before the first day's fight, near Littlestown, Pa., and when we arrived ojar brigade was sent to the left of the Eleventh Corps at Little Round Top to stop the charge of the Con federates in that direction. We were not engaged, but our appearance stopped their advance. The next morning we were ordered to the right, and our fighting was all done on Gulp's Hill, where we had the pleasure for the first time of fighting behind regular breastworks; but, thank God, it was not the last. We were badly mauled during the first two days, but were still in the ring and were conquerors on the third. When we moved away from the battlefield on July 4, 1863, I never visited the field until September 13, 1887, when memorials were erected by the State of Ohio to their honored dead on that historic field. The Commission for the Seventh Regiment was com posed of Captains, William A. Howe, Edward Hi. Bohm, and George A. McKay. On account of business affairs the latter-named Commissioner was the only one present at the dedication, leaving Cleveland, Ohio, at 11.10 P. M., Septem ber 12. On the evening of the I3th he arrived at Gettys burg, Pennsylvania. Metaphorically speaking, he was "tenting to-night, tenting on the old camp-ground." On the 1 4th he stood on the ground where the immortal Presi dent Lincoln in his address in the year 1863 had said, "The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here." The members of the Memorial Commission were as fol lows : Gen. H. A. Axline, Adjutant-General; Gen. James S. Robinson, Secretary of State; Hon. Emil Kiesewetter, Auditor of State; Hon. Alfred E. Lee, Secretary of the Commission, all from Ohio. FIRMIN— 7th Conn. WILSON— ;th Ohio SEVENTH REGIMENT MONUMENT On Gulp's Hill— Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pa. MONUMENTS 491 $ 'i 'i .r ORDER OF THE DAY.

The finest scholarly and military address at the dedica tion was made by Hon. Joseph B. Foraker, Governor of the State of Ohio. While listening to it I could understand thoroughly the anthem of the "Star Spangled Banner," "Long may it wave, o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave." I was invited to ride over the battlefield with the Gov ernor and his staff, but declined, preferring to walk over it from right to left, so as actually to inspect the positions of the different organizations participating. I was so tired at the finish that my return was a ride. On Little Round Top the party I was with sang that good old Scotch song by Robert Burns : "Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind; Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And the days of Auld Lang Syne." I returned to Cleveland, Ohio, September 16, 1887, in a used-up condition, but thankful that I had been able to at tend. I will conclude with the following excerpt : "Now the muffled drums are beating funeral marches to the grave." Soon, very soon, we will all be there. SEVENTH OHIO INFANTRY. "Monument located on Gulp's Hill, near the right of Greene's brigade. The position is commanding, and was a very important one during the battle of the morning of July 3. The Union works to the right of this point, after having MONUMENTS 493 been vacated by the Twelfth Corps, were seized by John son's Confederate Division during the evening of July 2. During the morning of July 3 the Confederates were driven out of these works after seven hours of battle. The Sev enth and Twenty-ninth Ohio Infantry, returning with the Twelfth Corps, assisted in holding this position against the assaults of the enemy." CANDY'S BRIGADE MARKER. On the afternoon of July i, 1863, under orders from Gen eral Hancock, the First and Third Brigades of Geary's divi sion of the Twelfth Corps went into position to the right of and near Little Round Top, and that night the Fifth Ohio and One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania Infantry occupied Little Round Top and picketed to the left and front. In later years, while visiting the battlefield of Gettysburg, Lawrence Wilson, seeing markers in that section account ing for these two regiments upon that very important occa sion, became imbued with a desire that the other regiments of Candy's brigade should also have a distinguishing mark of some character indicating they were also then on that part of the field. With this end in view he issued a call for a meeting of the members of the old brigade, during the National Encamp ment of the Grand Army of the Republic in Cleveland on the 1 9th of September, 1901, for the purpose of considering this important matter, when a brigade organization was formed by the election of Judge John P. Murphy of the Fifth Ohio, residing in Cincinnati, as president, and W. P. Ouayle of the Sixty-sixth Ohio, residing at Rock Island, secretary. A resolution was then passed in favor of marking the position occupied by Candy's brigade on the night of July i, 1863, and providing for the appointment of a committee, consist ing of one comrade from each of the six regiments in said brigade, to take charge of the project and push it to a suc cessful termination. The president appointed the following committee: Maj. Krewson Yerkes, Fifth Ohio ; Sergt. Lawrence Wilson, Seventh Ohio; Col. D. W. Thomas, Twenty-ninth Ohio; Maj. Thos. McConnell, Sixty-sixth Ohio; Capt. John O. Foering, Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, and Maj. J. A.

As Colonel Thomas neglected to serve and Major McConnell soon died very unexpectedly, Capt. Charles W. Kellogg of the Twen ty-ninth and Col. Charles Candy of the Sixty-sixth were appointed to act in their stead, and the committee thus kept intact. This committee visited the battlefield in October, 1901, selected a site for a marker on Sedgwick avenue near Little Round Top, and adopted a design for the same, such as is shown in cut, consisting of a bronze tablet bearing an inscription and legend, sunk in the face of a granite die rest ing upon a substantial granite base suitably marked as is herein plainly delineated. All arrangements having been successfully carried out and the marker being in position, this modest little tribute to the gallant officers whose names appear thereon and to the sol diers true who followed them where they led was dedicated on Thursday, September 18, 1902, in the presence of the president, Judge Murphy, who came all the way from Cin cinnati and made a brief address ; Col. John P. Nicholson and Major Robbins of the battlefield commission ; members of the brigade committee, comrades, ladies and gentlemen, when this token of love, pride, and patriotism was formally turned over to Colonel Nicholson for safe keeping. The dedicatory services consisted mainly of a statement by the chairman of the committee explaining how this marker came into existence ; a brief address by Judge Murphy as presid ing officer ; an invocation by Rev. Owen Hicks ; the read ing of the military records of all the officers named on the marker by Captains Howe and Foering and Sergeant Wil son ; and addresses by Colonel Candy, Colonel Nicholson and Major Robbins — the latter of the C. S. A., who fought there under General Longstreet. A large photograph of marker and group was taken. HISTORY OF THE WHITE BANNER. $JP Kindly Supplied by CAPT. W. A. HOWE. If there is any sentiment more active than all others in the breast of a soldier as he leaves everything dear to him and goes to the defense of what is more precious than life — his country — it is the thought that grateful hearts will lament him, and vie with each other in doing him honor if he re turns safely from the perils of war. This sentiment is above all characteristic of the American soldier, where hardships are endured to preserve a government of his own, instead of a monarch's, which is administered, as it were, by himself, and which he desires to hand down to posterity as strongly established as he received it from his ancestors. The Ohio ladies residing in New York, after a careful study of the records of the different regiments of our State, prompted by a noble impulse, have recently conferred a sig nal mark of honor on the Seventh Regiment Volunteer In fantry. The following correspondence on the subjecc will be read with interest by all who delight to see the brave honored for noble sacrifices in a glorious cause. Coiv. SAMUEL MCCLELLAND AND SOLDIERS OF THE SEVENTH REGIMENT O. V. I. In performance of a pleasing duty confided to me by the Ohio Ladies' Society, permit me, gentlemen, to say it has been the custom in all ages to bestow some distinctive mark of approbation upon those who at their country's call im periled their lives and fortunes in its defense. Prompted by this idea, the Ohio ladies resident in New York executed an elaborate and artistic banner for presentation to the Ohio regiment whose military exploits during the great rebellion should entitle it to the proud distinction of being called the Ohio Banner Regiment. The banner thus prepared has been Tothe rKEGLO.\n. THE WHITE BANNER HISTORY OF THE WHITE BANNER 497 held subject to decision of the delicate question as to which of the Ohio regiments was entitled to receive it. A critical examination of the records of all the regiments that entered the service from the State of Ohio, and the cam paigns through which they served, was undertaken. The civil and military authorities of both the National and State governments were counseled with, but the question became still more grave and perplexing when it was understood how nobly the majority of the Ohio regiments had behaved in time of battle and elsewhere during the war. But, gentle men, without disparagement to the bravery or heroism of any other Ohio regiment, the ladies have decided that to you, officers and men of the Seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry, this beautiful banner rightfully belongs. Whether in camp, on the march or in battle, you never shrank from duty. Your drill and discipline were admirable, and positions that were both vital in importance and perilous in character were assigned to your regiment. Gentlemen, your military or ganization belongs to the State of Ohio, but your military achievements belong to the common country. An official letter received by me from the secretary of the Ohio Ladies' Society more fully explains not only the grounds for their decision, but it also contains a brief and interesting history of their society, and reads as follows : "NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 1868. "GEORGE E. HAW,, ESQ. "DEAR SIR : I send you by express to-day 'a flag' which you are respectfully requested to present to the Seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, in the name of the Ohio La dies' Society, for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission. A brief history of the society and its objects will furnish the reason why the presentation has been delayed until this late day. At the great fair held in this city in the spring of 1864, in aid of the Sanitary Commission, a number of Ohio ladies who were born and raised in Ohio, but had become residents of New York, feeling an anxiety to do something in aid of 32 498 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY the fair, formed a society for that purpose. Meetings were held once a week for three months before the exhibition, during which a large number and variety of articles were made, among them this flag, which it was understood should at the end of the war be given to the Ohio regiment which had most distinguished itself in the service. The committee of arrangements appropriated a large table in a conspicuous part of the fair for the use of the Ohio Ladies' Society. On this table the articles were displayed, surmounted by the flag, and attracted all Ohio visitors to the fair, especially the Ohio soldiers. On one occasion an Ohio officer, who refused to give his name, handed to one of the ladies in charge a fifty-dollar bill, and, when asked what he would have in ex change, said : 'It is my contribution to your society.' Much curiosity was shown and many questions were asked as to whether the ladies had come all the way from Ohio to con tribute to the fair. The table was very liberally patronized, and at times the crowd was so great that they could not all be waited upon. The result was that nearly three thousand dollars was realized and paid over to the treasurer of the fair. The war ended in the spring of 1865, and at once a correspondence was opened with Governor Tod, asking him to name the regiment that was best entitled to the flag. The reply was characteristic of the man : 'Every one is entitled to it.' Other distinguished persons have from time to time been consulted, including Governor Brough, Governor Hayes, the Hon. Martin Welker, and other members of Congress, but all seemed unwilling to say that any one regi ment had more distinguished itself than another, and we have therefore been unable to carry out the object of the society until the present time. Finally, through your exer tions, the opinions of Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania; General Slocum, of New York, and Gen. E. B. Tyler, of Baltimore, were obtained, and they all declared in favor of the Seventh Ohio. We desire you, in presenting this flag, to assure the shattered remnant of the regiment that we en tertain for each and every one of them sentiments of grati tude and esteem it is not in our power to express. We are HISTORY OF THE: WHITE: BANNER 499 proud of our native State ; proud of her record during the war; proud of her generals, and especially proud of her soldiers, who have made that record glorious. Very re spectfully, "MRS. ALBERT W. GREEN, Secretary. "Committee: Mrs. S. RANSOM, Mrs. J. R. CECIL, Mrs. S. HAUK, Mrs. T. R. REED, Mrs. J. G. PLYMPTON, Mrs. T. R. BENTER. Thus, gentlemen, you have from the Ohio Ladies' Society the origin and history of this artistic and beautiful banner, which, agreeable to the wish of the society, I now formally present to your regiment. Yours truly, GEORGE E. HALL. "CLEVELAND, OHIO, Feb. 3, 1870. "GEORGE E. HALL, ESQ. "DEAR SIR: After a lengthened delay, resulting from circumstances without our control, the undersigned execu tive committee of the Seventh Regiment Association have the honor to acknowledge, in behalf of the association, the reception and acceptance of the banner presented through you by the Ohio Ladies' Society, for the benefit of the Sani tary commission, to the Seventh Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The distinguished honor thus conferred upon the regiment, while it fills every heart of the few remaining members of the organization with the most profound grati tude toward the noble ladies, most noble daughters of our gallant State who conceived it, as well as to the brilliant sol diers who paid their tribute to our claim, and begets a feel ing of the deepest pride and gratification which we would not conceal. We are yet compelled to feel that rather our good fortune than our merit as a regiment has favored us in being selected as the object of this magnificent and priceless recognition. As soldiers, as citizens, as freemen, we are conscious of having done only our duty manfully, faithfully, zealously, and it is the proud honor and eternal glory of our 5OO SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY State that of all the heroic and patriotic thousands of her sons who went forth to the battlefield, not a regiment failed to respond to the call of duty, or by any single act cast the least stain upon her fair escutcheon. We cannot forget or overlook in our own good fortune the lofty patriotism, the glorious deeds, and the terrible sacrifices of our fellow-sol diers, entitling them to the everlasting love and honor of their countrymen. Side by side we fought with them on many a hotly-contested and sanguinary field in the gloomiest hours of the strife, when hope had almost withered from the hearts of men, and in their valor and support found inspira tion and courage to meet the great duties we had to do. How often in the storm of battle, with the dead and dying blocking our path, the contest hanging on a thread, we have looked with eager and anxious eyes toward the standard of our Ohio brothers in arms for encouragement and been made strong by their example. We may not say — but deeply do we feel conscious of the support they gave us. The dust of hundreds of our comrades mingled with theirs in everlasting repose on historic fields of Virginia, of Mary land, of Pennsylvania and of Georgia equals in valor, in patriotism and sacrifice. To the soldier who has faithfully discharged his trust no higher or more cherished reward can crown his efforts than the approval of his countrymen, and such a recognition and endearment as is conveyed in the splendid banner we have been honored with sinks deeply into our hearts, strengthening our love of country, brightening our estimate of mankind, and making us feel how false is that maxim which says "Republics are ungrateful." In the present case the impression is stronger in that the honor comes from women. What love, what honor, what respect does not every soldier owe her? Only the pen that is di rected by inspiration shall ever tell in all its fullness the story of her devotion and her work for the soldier. In conclusion, let me ask you, sir, to accept the profound thanks of our association for your part in the matter, and the assurance that the kindly interest you have manifested and the gener ous sentiment you have expressed toward us are garnered HISTORY OF THE WHITE) BANNER 5OI in our memories to live while we shall live. You will con vey to the ladies whom you represent the expression of our deepest gratitude, and say to them their names are graven indelibly on our hearts. The splendid work of their hands we consecrate to the memory of our dead comrades, and shall cherish it through life as a possession made sacred by every recollection of the vicissitudes, the hardships and the dangers of our soldier life. With the highest respect, your obedient servant. "J- B. MOLYNEAUX, Chairman. "F. ROCKEFELLER, Secretary. "Committee: W. A. HOWE, WM. SOUTHWELL,, CHARLES COWAN, J. G. CLAFLIN, T. T.

"DEAR COMRADE: "The history of our White Banner, which was presented to us by the Ohio Ladies, resident in New York in 1864, at the time of the great Sanitary Fair, is well known to every comrade of our regiment. "The executive committee have felt for some time that we should deposit this precious relic in some place for preserva tion, where it might be kept for all time, and where our children and the public would be able to see it.

Agreeably to the circular call issued from Washington City on the twelfth day of July, ultimo, the result of a meet ing of the old members of the Seventh Regiment now resi dents of that city, and for the purpose of carrying into effect the project therein indicated, of bringing about a reunion of the surviving members of the Seventh, and of considering the propriety and feasibility of effecting a permanent organi zation of the regiment, the committee designated in the call to make the necessary arrangements met in this city on Monday evening, the 6th inst., and agreed upon Cleveland as the place and September 10 as the time for the occurrence of the designed reunion. A sub-committee was appointed to arrange the necessary details, and a proper hall for the as sembling of those attending has been obtained and all other requisite arrangements made. It now only remains for the members of the regiment to unite heartily and earnestly in the execution of the plan in view, and thus rekindle the friendships formed in the long marches and terrible combats of three years arid a half of war, and review the pleasant memories made around the bivouac fire and when resting for a time from the arduous duties of the active campaign. In addressing this call to the remaining members of the old Seventh, the committee feel it to be unnecessary to make any especial appeal to the crowding recollections of their soldier life as an incentive to their attendance upon the re union. We know the just and honorable pride which every member of the old Seventh feels in the unblemished record of that regiment, and we feel certain there are none who will not hail with the most profound satisfaction the opportunity that such a meeting as is proposed will furnish for cementing more closely our friendships and perpetuating the honorable 504 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY deeds and dear memories of our career as Union soldiers. But if any incentive were needed to awaken a proper interest in the project we have in view, the claims upon us by dead brethren — of Creighton and Crane, and the hundreds of others whose heroic deeds have added their full share of glory to the army of the Union and who attested with their lives their devotion to the Nation and to freedom — would be sufficient to inspire it. It is our duty that the names of those gallant soldiers should be graven in the imperishable marble, there to stand as eternal monitors to posterity and an undying example of the sacrifices freedom may claim and receive of her children. To consecrate and perpetuate the memory of our dead comrades, record "the battles, sieges, fortunes we have passed," cement the friendships formed, group together in historic shape the memories and incidents we would preserve, and devise such measures as may be thought necessary and expedient for our common good, are the cardinal objects of our proposed reunion. To the thorough and satisfactory accomplishment of these pur poses a full attendance of the surviving members of the regi ment is necessary, since there is no one but can add his mite to make up the general contribution. The committee confi dently indulge the hope that such desired attendance will be had, and the result can then be no other than a success. Upon the arrival of the members they will report at Gar- rett's Hall, corner of Euclid avenue and Monument Park. Gen. E. B. TYLER, Chairman. Capt. JOE B. MOLYNEAUX, Secretary. THE REUNION.

The president was then conducted to the chair, and in taking his seat made a thrilling and touching address, re viewing the incidents and scenes in which this noble regi ment played a conspicuous part, and feelingly referred to the honored dead of the regiment, Colonels Creighton and Crane, and the fallen heroes of their command. His speech was listened to with marked respect and attention. At its close the members of the regiment simultaneously rose and gave "three cheers and a tiger" for General Tyler and "three times three" for the "Seventh Regiment."

WHEREAS, In the good providence of God, we, formerly members of the Seventh Regiment O. V. L, have been pre served from the dangers of war and the sickness of the camp during the suppression of the late terrible rebellion, and have been permitted to meet again in convention ; therefore, Resolved, That we give our hearty thanks to Almighty God for the many mercies of the past, and that we tender our heartfelt sympathies to the kinsmen and friends of our noble officers and men who have laid down their lives, and also to our brethren who, in body or limb, are still suffering from sickness or wounds. Resolved, That we unite in a society to be called the So ciety of the Survivors of the Seventh Regiment O. V. I. Resolved, That the officers of this society shall consist of a president, four vice-presidents, temporary and permanent secretaries and a treasurer. Resolved, That the society shall have an annual festive meeting in the city or place selected the previous year, which shall be opened by an oration or speech from some member of the regiment, selected at a previous meeting, and followed by a dinner, toasts, etc. Resolved, That as speedily as possible we proceed to pro cure a suitable lot in the Woodland Cemetery, Cleveland, and erect thereon a monument to the memory of our heroic dead ; and also that any money that may be in the hands of the treasurer after the expenses of erecting the monument be distributed among the widows and orphans of the dead and among the maimed and wounded members of the Seventh. It was decided to have a supper in the evening, and the 510 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY chair appointed the following gentlemen to make the neces sary arrangements: Captain Molyneaux, Colonel Davis, Captain Howe, Lieutenant .Claflin and A. M. Clinton. The committee subsequently reported that arrangements for the supper had been made with Colonel Ross, of the American House, to take place at 9 o'clock in the evening. The report was adopted and the committee discharged. On the propriety of erecting a regimental monument in Woodland Cemetery, Cleveland, the committee were assured by Mr. Steadman, city sexton, that the authorities of Cleve land would cheerfully donate a lot in that cemetery for the purpose contemplated. A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Steadman for his kindness and effort in advancing the interest of the convention in this matter. An executive committee of five, consisting of Captains DeForest, Molyneaux and Howe, Lieutenant Bohm and Sergeant Bauder, was appointed to perfect a plan and raise funds for the erection of the monument. General Tyler was subsequently made chairman of the committee. The officers chosen for the present meeting were, on mo tion, authorized to act as officers of the association for the ensuing year. The Cleveland Turn Verein presented a beautiful banner to the regiment at Camp Dennison prior to its going out of the State, and having expressed a desire to get the banner back, to be placed in their hall on Ohio street, to be pre served as a relic of the Seventh Regiment, on motion Major Krieger, Lieutenant Bohm and Captain Nesper, members of the Turn Verein and also members of the association, were appointed by the chair to return the banner to the Cleveland Turn Verein with this positive injunction : "To preserve it and never allow it to be carried except by a member of the regiment, and then by permission of this association." It was decided, when the convention adjourned, to meet in Cleveland, March 23, 1867, the anniversary of the battle of Winchester, at which Stonewall Jackson confessed him self defeated for the first and only time during the war. Chaplain Brown was, by a unanimous and enthusiastic, OUR FIRST REUNION 511 vote of the convention, selected to deliver the address at the next annual meeting. The question arose as to whether those persons belonging to the regiment, during the "three months' service," could become members of the association. To test the sense of the meeting a vote was taken and it was decided unani mously that they could become members, and they were ac cordingly cordially invited to join with the rest in the con templated work. To defray the expenses of the present meeting, the mem bers voluntarily contributed fifty cents each, and the com mittee having charge of the preliminary arrangements were authorized to reimburse what had been disbursed and place the remainder in the hands of the treasurer. The convention then adjourned to the American House, where a supper was served at 9 o'clock. After supper the camp-fire was held, which was greatly enjoyed by all pres ent. ANTIETAM. BY IRENE; FOWUSR BROWN. Shock and onset of gray and blue, Smoke and carnage and spatter of red, Belching cannon where young corn grew, Rank after rank of weltering dead. Here in the valley they charged and met, South and North — and! the slain piled deep; Here in the valley the grass grew wet, Thousands were left on the field asleep. And this Antietam ? The Bloody Lane Where cattle browse on their homeward way, And loitering plowmen to tinkling chain Follow the path of dying day. Peace and plenty and lights of home, Planting and harvest and even-song, Flower and fruit from the blood-soaked loam, Bounteous corn-fields where Death reaped long. O my heart ! Wilt thou look and learn ? Out of the havoc and blood and strife, See, where the red of the sod we turn Blossoms the grace of a strange new life. Sorrow and hatred and pain will go, Sharpness of death — that, too, will cease ; Out of the agony, roses grow; Out of the heart-ache, infinite peace. (512) THE DAYS OF SIXTY-THREE. Written at the Gettysburg Reunion, 1888, by MAJOR MARCUS S. HOPKINS, of the Seventh Ohio Regiment. Ah yes ! the days of Sixty-three Were fateful days for you and me: When in a million muskets' rattle Was heard the mighty storm of battle, And, midst the shrieks of hurtling shell, Rang out the thrilling "rebel yell," As if some fearful spirit's might Had added fury to the fight, And War and Hate had come again, To sway primeval savage men. So long the trembling balance stood Unswerved, amidst the tide of blood, That freedom's hope grew dim — Ah then Came the transcendent test of men ! There faced us foes, we knew full well, Who yielded only as they fell. We knew the fateful die was cast — Must this free country be the last? And in our ruin Kings could see Mankind thrust back to monarchy. In all the story of our race No equal crisis finds a place. Then rose each patriot spirit high, Resolved the nation should not die ; And on the land, and on the sea, The best blood flowed for liberty. Fair youth and sturdy manhood gave Up life as only give the brave ; And ere the foemen's force was spent, Fresh graves marked half a continent. 33 (513) 5 14 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY Alas ! such chastening had to be, Ere God vouchsafed our victory, That blazoned foremost in the van Of all proud names — AMERICAN 1 — * * * * Henceforth we stand in peace allied, Comrade and foeman side by side, Beneath the ensign of the free, That speaks the Nation's majesty, Willing to hide the bitter past, In one true union blent at last. O ! fair the gifts a bounteous hand Has showered on our tranquil land ; But brighter, grander still, we see The vision of our destiny. Ah yes! the days of Sixty-three, That set the seal of Liberty, In memory ever fresh shall be — Heroic days of Sixty-three ! "THE PHANTOM REGIMENT." By LEVI F. BAUDER, Seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry. On a beautiful isle of Lake Erie, In the mellowing days of September, When the hours never long seem nor weary, And the grapes are aglow like an ember — In a grove whose broke branches had wrested With the merciless winds and the snow, The white tents of a regiment nestled Like ermines who dreamed of no foe. Where the white caverned rocks are reflected On the swell of the long curving billow, Near where Perry's dead heroes neglected Lie nameless beneath a gaunt willow, 5X5 I dreamed of our dead and forgotten, Marked unknown on the tablets of Fame, And a long line of heroes filed past me, Who for us gave a life and a name. With measured tread to beat of drum, A ghostly column strode, In rigid ranks with arms aslant, Along a dustless road ; And I seemed to see as they passed me by Full many a well-known face, Each marching along as in days of yore In his old accustomed place, With the grace of youth ; but each face was pale, And furrowed by lines of pain. Though lost to fame they proudly marched As though they had fought not in vain. They halted for roll-call, and for each name A ready Here! was said. I listened with awe, for the sergeants there Were calling the roll of our dead. "All present or accounted for; A detail is still on earth, To guard our flag, to mark our graves, To let men know our worth." I awakened startled from my sleep, And called my comrades near— "Our regiment, comrades, is with the dead, 'Tis the rear-guard only here !" Comrades, we are growing older, And our fires are burning low, And the hearts of men seem colder Than they were short years ago. Where once danced the dimpling crinkles When we laughed our cares away, Now are graved the rigid wrinkles Over beards just tinged with gray. 516 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY Comrades, we are growing fewer 'Round each yearly camp-fire met; Some we miss, than whom none truer Faced the lead and bayonet. Some are at the out-post falling, Guarding home and child and wife, Answering to the Master's calling Of the muster-out of life. DIRGE FOR ONE WHO FELL IN BATTLE. BY THOMAS WILUAM PARSONS. Room for a Soldier ! lay him in the clover ; He loved the fields, and they shall be his cover ; Make his mound with hers who called him once her lover : Where the rain may rain upon it, Where the sun may shine upon it, Where the lamb hath lain upon it, And the bee will dine upon it. Bear him to no dismal tomb under city churches ; Take him to the fragrant fields, by the silver birches, Where the whippoorwill shall mourn, where the oriole perches : Make his mound with sunshine on it, Where the bee will dine upon it, Where the lamb hath lain upon it, And the rain will rain upon it. Busy as the busy bee, his rest should be the clover ; Gentle as the lamb was he, and the fern should be his cover ; Fern and rosemary shall grow my soldier's pillow over : Where the rain may rain upon it, Where the sun may shine upon it, Where the lamb hath lain upon it, And the bee will dine upon it. POEMS S17 Sunshine in his heart, the rain would come full often Out of those tender eyes which evermore did soften : He never could look cold till we saw him in his coffin. Make his mound with sunshine on it, Where the wind may sigh upon it, Where the moon may stream upon it, And Memory shall dream upon it. "Captain or colonel," — whatever invocation Suit our hymn the best, no matter for thy station, - On thy grave the rain shall fall from the eyes of a mighty nation ! Long as the sun doth shine upon it Shall glow the goodly pine upon it, Long as the stars do gleam upon it Shall Memory come to dream upon it. SOMEBODY'S DARLING. BY MARIE R. D'!STRIA LA COSTE. Into a ward of the whitewashed walls, Where the dead and dying lay, Wounded by bayonets, shells, and balls, Somebody's Darling was borne one day- Somebody's Darling, so young and so brave, Wearing yet, on his pale, sweet face, Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave, The lingering light of his boyhood's grace. Matted and damp are the curls of gold, Kissing the snow of that fair young brow, Pale are the lips of delicate mold — Somebody's Darling is dying now. Back from his beautiful, blue-veined brow Brush all the wandering waves of gold, Cross his hands on his bosom now— Somebody's Darling is still and cold. 5l8 SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY Kiss him once more for somebody's sake; Murmur a prayer soft and low; One bright curl from its fair mates take — They were somebody's pride, you know ; Somebody's hand has rested there — Was it a mother's, soft and white? And have the lips of a sister fair Been baptized in those waves of light ? God knows best. He has somebody's love ; Somebody's heart enshrined him there; Somebody wafted his name above Night and morn on the wings of prayer ; Somebody wept when he marched away, Looking so handsome, brave, and grand ; Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay; Somebody clung to his parting hand. Somebody's waiting and watching for him, Yearning to hold him again to the heart ; And there he lies, with his blue eyes dim, And the smiling childlike lips apart. Tenderly bury the fair young dead, Pausing to drop on his grave a tear ; Carve on the wooden slab at his head, "Somebody's Darling slumbers here." THE BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD. BY THEODORE O'HARA. The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo ; No more on life's parade shall meet The brave and daring few. On Fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead. POEMS 519 No rumor of the foe's advance Now swells upon the wind; No troubled thought at midnight haunts Of loved ones left behind ; No vision of the morrow's strife The warrior's dream alarms; No braying horn nor screaming fife At dawn shall call to arms. Their shivered swords are red with rust, Their plumed heads are bowed; Their haughty banner, trailed in dust, Is now their martial shroud; And plenteous funeral tears have washed The red stains from each brow, And their proud forms in battle gashed Are free from anguish now. The neighing steed, the flashing blade, The trumpet's stirring blast, The charge, the dreadful cannonade, The din and shout are past; No war's wild note, nor glory's peal, Shall thrill with fierce delight Those breasts that nevermore shall feel The rapture of the fight. Like the dread Northern hurricane That sweeps his broad plateau, Flushed with the triumph yet to gain, Came down the serried foe. Our Heroes felt the shock, and leapt To meet them on the plain ; And long the pitying sky hath wept Above our gallant slain. 52O SEVENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY Sons of our consecrated ground, Ye must not slumber there, j Where stranger steps and tongues resound Along the heedless air. Your own proud land's heroic soil Shall be your fitter grave, She claims from war his richest spoil— The ashes of her brave. So 'neath their parent turf they rest, Far from the gory field, Borne to a Spartan mother's breast On many a bloody shield. The sunshine of their native sky Smiles sadly on them here, And kindred hearts and eyes watch by The heroes' sepulcher. Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead! Dear as the blood you gave, No impious footsteps here shall tread The herbage of your grave ; Nor shall your glory be forgot While Fame her record keeps, Or Honor points the hallowed spot Where Valor proudly sleeps. Yon marble minstrel's voiceful stone In deathless song shall tell, When many a vanished age hath flcwn, The story how ye fell ; Nor wreck nor change, nor winter's blight, Nor time's remorseless doom Shall dim one ray of holy light That gilds your glorious tomb.
