About This Book
A first-person regimental chronicle recounts the raising, organization, and three years' service of an Ohio volunteer infantry regiment during the Civil War, tracing marches, encampments, skirmishes, and major engagements in western Virginia and the Eastern Theater. The author records tactical movements, battlefield actions and losses at notable fights, details of pursuits and retreats, daily hardships, and episodes of gallantry; interspersed are reflections on slavery, military leadership, and the need to preserve regimental memory. The narrative combines memoir, official report, and chaptered battle accounts to memorialize the regiment's experiences from muster to mustering out.
