About This Book

A firsthand regimental sketch recounts enlistment of Ohio National Guard units for a hundred-day federal service, consolidation into the 149th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and the regiment's movements and duties in Maryland and the Shenandoah Valley. The author records organization, officers, travel hardships by crowded boxcars, camp life, garrison assignments, and actions alongside other Union forces, offering recollections of dates, incidents, and the character of comrades. Alongside practical details of logistics and command, the narrative honors fallen leaders and reflects on the sacrifices and personal strains experienced by citizen-soldiers called from farms and workshops.
