FOREWORD
In preparing this sketch of the 149th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the author has depended upon the memory of events that made a lasting impression upon a young mind. He does not claim to have written a full history of this service, that is stored in the memories and experiences of the different members of the Regiment. He does claim, however, that the main facts and movements of the Regiment and the other bodies of troops associated with it in the field, are accurate.
The writer was fortunate in making a record of dates and incidents, soon after his return, which record has been invaluable in the preparation of this sketch.
If the little booklet will be interesting to my comrades, or of any value in a historical way, I shall feel amply repaid for the labor in preparing it.
