-COMRADES AND FRIENDS:

-

-On the twentieth anniversary of the organization of the Twenty-ninth

-regiment Ohio Veteran volunteer infantry, Comrade J. H. SeCheverell

-was instructed to prepare a history of the same, and the undersigned

-were appointed a committee to supervise its publication. Comrade

-SeCheverell, after months of perplexing labor, completed the manuscript

-which was examined by us in Cleveland, July 19, 1882. It was then

-decided to issue fifty proof copies of the work to be put into the

-hands of members of the regiment for such additions or corrections as

-should be found necessary. This was done, and after the return of the

-proofs and the incorporation of whatever corrections they contained,

-Comrade SeCheverell visited Akron, and spent several days with Colonel

-Schoonover, to whom was intrusted the corrections for that vicinity,

-and it is with no small degree of satisfaction that we now present

-the work to the comrades and friends of the regiment with our hearty

-endorsement, believing it _as complete and perfect as it is possible to

-make it_.

-AUTHOR’S PREFACE.

-

-

-In the following pages no attempt at literary gush is made, the design

-being simply to preserve from oblivion the record of the valiant deeds

-of this, the bravest of the brave regiments from the Buckeye State,

-that in the dim, distant future, when each comrade shall have answered

-to his last earthly roll-call and gone to the “grand review” with the

-many whose bones now repose in that far away country of the orange and

-the magnolia, those left behind may not forget the sacrifices made,

-and the untold dangers endured for that flag, the beautiful, starry

-emblem of a now united people, whose supremacy preserved for them the

-blessings of this great country, the best beneath the ethereal vault of

-heaven.

-

-The data from which the journal portion of the volume is composed was

-obtained from members of the regiment, who certify to its correctness.

-Colonel Jonas Schoonover furnished, from Atlanta to Washington.

-

-The reader will mark the entire absence of personal laudation so common

-in works of this class, and the crowding of a few favored ones to the

-front to the exclusion of the hundreds of equally brave and meritorious

-men in perhaps lowly positions. That the fortunes of war brought many

-forward with flattering prominence is most true, and that thousands who

-wore the simple blouse of blue and carried the musket were possessed of

-merit as great is also true. To have been a member of the Twenty-ninth

-Regiment Ohio Veteran Volunteers is glory enough for a lifetime. If you

-did your duty, it is well; if you failed, printers’ ink will not make a

-hero of you. Then let each be content with the happy assurance that he

-did what he could for the flag.

-

-The writer would acknowledge in an especial manner his obligations to

-L. D. Drum, adjutant-general of the United States army, for the very

-complete casualty list at the close of the volume; also, to Samuel B.

-Smith, adjutant-general of Ohio, Hon. E. B. Taylor, Colonel Edward

-Hayes, Jonas Schoonover, Captain R. H. Baldwin, George W. Holloway;

-the members of the very efficient revisory committee, Captains D.

-W. Thomas, T. W. Nash, Lieutenant T. E. Hoyt, Sergeant E. F. Mason,

-and C. H. Coon; the Ashtabula Sentinel, Jefferson Gazette, and the

-Akron Daily News, for numerous courtesies extended to him, during the

-preparation of this work; and to each comrade and friend who has aided

-him in his labors, to name all of whom would require many pages. He has

-conscientiously endeavored to make the volume free from errors. If he

-has succeeded it will be the first of its kind. However, such as it is,

-it is presented to the regiment and its friends with the belief that it

-contains much of value.

-INTRODUCTION.

-

-

-The author of this volume has honored me with an invitation to write an

-“Introduction.” A book without a preface would be an anomaly: in other

-words, out of harmony with established usage; not strictly important,

-but answering much the same purpose as the “whereas” preceding the

-resolutions of the convention.

-

-I have not been permitted to read the author’s manuscript, yet I do not

-hesitate to assure the reader that as he peruses the pages of the book

-he will find much to entertain and profit. To the veteran who enlisted

-and fought in the historic “Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran volunteer

-infantry” it will be read with especial interest. The eye will moisten,

-and the heart swell with mingled emotions as he is reminded again of

-the varying scenes of the camp, the march, and the battle. Others, too

-young to remember anything of the war, but who have heard the stories

-of the conflict from their fathers, will read this historic sketch of

-the old regiment with the greatest avidity.

-

-We well remember the author as “Hamp,” the drummer boy of Company B,

-his boyish look, with his neatly-fitting suit of blue, and the tenor

-drum suspended from his neck, while with nimble fingers he plied the

-ebony sticks in beating the tattoo, reveille, or the “long roll.”

-

-He has done a real and invaluable service to his comrades in gathering

-up and condensing in neat and durable form so many interesting facts

-relating to the work of a noble regiment. So much, at least, is saved

-from oblivion.

-

-In writing the history of any war only a mere outline can be thought

-of. Anything like a full and detailed account of what happened is out

-of the question. Neither time nor space would permit.

-

-The multiplied thousands who carried their muskets and knapsacks

-on foot all over “Dixie,” and who really did the hard work of the

-conflict, must be massed in history even as in war they were massed

-against the foe. Their individual deeds of daring and suffering were

-not a whit behind those of the great Wellingtons, Washingtons, and

-Grants. The latter were in positions to glide easily into history,

-and have their heroic deeds emblazoned and read in the books of every

-nation. The former may have loved their country as well and fought as

-bravely for her honor, and yet die in obscurity, “to fortune and to

-fame unknown.”

-

-Dr. SeCheverell has doubtless done his best under the circumstances

-to do justice to the name of every member of the old Twenty-ninth. It

-was known as the Giddings’ regiment, in honor of the Hon. Joshua R.

-Giddings, for twenty consecutive years a member of the lower house of

-Congress.

-

-Perhaps no man during his time did more than Mr. Giddings to create

-public opinion in favor of the freedom of the slave. The regiment was

-raised almost entirely within the bounds of his old district, and it

-was fitting that it should bear his name. But I remember that when

-recruiting it a frequent objection to enlistment was that should any

-member of the regiment be so unfortunate as to be taken prisoner by

-the “Rebs,” he would be forthwith shot, hung, or burnt at the stake,

-particularly on Giddings’ account, and that the name would be so

-odious in the South, and would so advertise the regiment that every

-member would be especially hunted down and exterminated.

-

-I think “Hamp” has failed utterly to ascertain that any prisoner from

-the Twenty-ninth was thus punished, although many of the boys were

-often in rebel hands.

-

-I have ever considered myself fortunate and honored in having been

-associated with such a regiment.

-

-I was duly appointed and commissioned as the first chaplain, holding

-the position one year, resigning at the expiration of that time, and

-receiving an honorable discharge from the service.

-

-Of the officers of the regiment much might be said. Nobody who ever

-knew Colonel Buckley will ever forget him. A brave man, a great admirer

-of order and discipline, faultlessly neat and tidy, a confirmed

-dyspeptic; yet the most ticklish and fun provoking humor often cropped

-out in his conversation and intercourse with men. One morning, away

-down between Bull Run and Fredericksburg, when the tired and jaded men

-were in line for the day’s march, the Colonel was in his saddle with

-his toes daintily touching the stirrups, his pale, clean shaven face

-shaded by the visor of his blue cap, from beneath which his practiced

-eye swept the whole regiment at a glance, while his well-polished

-sword, firmly gripped, stood perpendicular, resting against the

-shoulder; with a stentorian voice he published the following order:

-“Men of the Twenty-ninth, let there be no straggling on the march

-to-day. But if any of you do straggle take Twenty-ninth off from your

-caps and put on One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania.”

-

-The joke on the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania was fully

-appreciated and immensely enjoyed (a regiment noted for straggling).

-With roars of laughter the boys shouldered their muskets and knapsacks

-for another hard day’s march through the pine barrens.

-

-Lieutenant-colonel Clark is remembered as a staunch advocate of

-temperance, whose interests were ever for the men.

-

-Major Clemmer, as a genial, bluff soldier, whose songs often enlivened

-the dreariness of the camp or bivouac; and Quartermaster Gibbs, as a

-man of prompt execution, who expected equal promptness from others.

-Many anecdotes and incidents of them could be narrated by the page, but

-I remember that the introduction to the volume is not the place for

-sketches of this kind; and I fear that I have already introduced much

-that does not strictly belong to this part of the book. I beg pardon

-for any seeming trespass in this direction.

-

-This introduction, written in the midst of other pressing duties, with

-frequent interruptions, now most affectionately inscribes this volume

-to every member of the Twenty-ninth regiment of Ohio Veteran volunteer

-infantry; to their wives and their children.

-

-I am happy to enjoy this privilege of saying a few words in Dr.

-SeCheverell’s book to my old comrades. My prayer is that God will bless

-every surviving member of the regiment, with their families, also the

-widows and orphans of deceased members, and that when the battle of

-life is over, we may wear the victor’s crown in heaven.

-TWENTY-NINTH O. V. V. I.

-

-

-

-

-CHAPTER I.

-

-The South Preparing for War--The Fall of Sumter--The Grand Rally to the

-Support of the Flag--Formation of the Regiment.

-

-

-President Lincoln, in his inaugural address of March 4, 1861, said:

-“I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the

-institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe that I

-have no lawful right, and I have no inclination to do so.” The South

-had apparently decided otherwise, and continued the preparations for

-secession, begun under the administration of, and so ably seconded by

-that old imbecile, James Buchanan.

-

-The outlook became so fraught with danger to the Union, that on April

-7th a naval expedition sailed from New York to the relief of Fort

-Sumter. Its arrival off Charleston harbor was followed by a furious

-bombardment of the fort by the rebel batteries of General Beauregard.

-The capitulation on April 13th, of the little handful of gallant men

-who so bravely defended their country’s flag, was followed by an

-outburst of patriotic indignation perhaps never before witnessed in

-the history of the world. In an incredibly short space of time the

-President’s call for seventy-five thousand men was filled by citizens

-eagerly marching to the defense of the National capital.

-

-The rebels meanwhile were busily engaged in appropriating or destroying

-the available arms and munitions of war belonging to the Government.

-At Bull Run, a few miles from Washington, General Beauregard massed

-his rebel horde, and here, on July 21st, General McDowell gratified

-the insane “On to Richmond” cry, by giving them battle. The result

-was the complete overthrow of the Union army, which retreated in the

-wildest disorder to Washington. This event cast a deep gloom over the

-entire North (barring the copperhead element). More than twice the time

-allowed by the knowing(?) ones to crush the Rebellion (sixty days)

-had elapsed, and yet it was growing stronger every day. The North was

-not yet awake to the magnitude of the work it had undertaken. The

-first patriotic outburst was on the wane; the sympathy of England and

-the encouragement given to the rebels by the “copperheads” in the

-North, gave a prestige to the Southern cause which, to many, bespoke

-the final success of treason. In this dark hour of our country’s

-peril, that brave old hero, Joshua R. Giddings, with B. F. Wade,

-E. B. Woodbury, and other well known associates, feeling that they

-had been disappointed in the acts of another regiment, made up in

-part of soldiers recruited in this district, obtained permission to

-organize regiment number Twenty-nine, which should be made up as far

-as possible, of those in political sympathy with the projectors. The

-report of the soldiers already returned from the three months’ service,

-and who were generally ready to go again, seemed to indicate who they

-wished for commanders. Major Lewis P. Buckley, of Akron, educated at

-West Point, was generally desired as colonel, and Thomas Clark, of

-Cleveland, formerly a cadet at Norwich university, Vermont, was for

-the same reason selected to commence the work. He was accordingly

-appointed major, on the 13th of August. Two days later he was mustered

-into service, and ordered to report at once to Jefferson, select a

-suitable location, and organize a camp. On the 17th he arrived at

-Jefferson, and a couple of days were spent in examining fields offered;

-at last the grounds of the County Agricultural Society were selected. A

-part of company A reported on the 19th, and company B in the afternoon

-of the same day. The camp equipage arrived on the 20th. On the 27th

-company C reported, and on September 10th, company D, and with this

-company came Colonel Buckley, who had just completed his service in the

-Nineteenth regiment.

-

-Following are the companies, in the order they entered the service,

-with the commanders and the localities from which they were recruited:

-Company A, Captain William F. Fitch, was recruited in Jefferson and

-vicinity, and Hartsgrove. Company B, Captain Wilbur F. Stevens, was

-recruited in Pierpont and vicinity, and Harpersfield. Company C,

-Captain Edward Hayes, was recruited in Andover and vicinity, Gustavus,

-Ohio, and Espyville, Pennsylvania. Company D, Captain Pulaski C. Hard,

-was recruited in Akron, Summit county. Company E, Captain Horatio Luce,

-was recruited in Conneaut and surrounding townships. Company F, Captain

-John F. Morse, was recruited in Painesville and Mentor, Lake county,

-and Montville, Geauga county. Company G, Captain John S. Clemmer, was

-recruited in Akron and vicinity. (Second Lieutenant W. P. Williamson,

-of this company, who was shot dead at the battle of Winchester,

-Virginia, March 23, 1862, was the first man in the regiment to die by

-rebel hands.) Company H, Captain Jonas Schoonover, was recruited in

-Akron and vicinity. Company I, Captain Russell B. Smith, was recruited

-in Medina county, and by transfers, and company K, Captain Alden P.

-Steele, was recruited from the various townships in Ashtabula county.

-

-The adverse causes before referred to, materially retarded the

-enlistment of the regiment, and it was not until about December 1st

-that the different company organizations were completed and the

-following staff officers elected:

-

-Colonel Lewis P. Buckley, Akron, Summit county.

-

-Lieutenant-colonel Thomas Clark, Cleveland, Cuyahoga county.

-

-Major John S. Clemmer, Mogadore, Summit county.

-

-Adjutant C. T. Chaffee, Jefferson, Ashtabula county.

-

-Quartermaster O. F. Gibbs, Harpersfield, Ashtabula county.

-

-Chaplain R. H. Hurlburt, Hartsgrove, Ashtabula county.

-

-Surgeon A. K. Fifield, M.D., Conneaut, Ashtabula county.

-

-Assistant Surgeon S. S. Burrows, M.D., Geneva, Ashtabula county.

-

-Commissary Henry Wright, Trumbull, Ashtabula county.

-

-Sergeant-major W. P. Williamson, Akron, Summit county.

-

-Quartermaster-sergeant M. D. Norris, Mesopotamia, Trumbull county.

-

-Hospital Steward E. P. Haynes, Atwater, Portage county.

-

-Fife-major Richard Noonan, Hudson, Summit county.

-

-Drum-major Gurley G. Crane, Cuyahoga Falls, Summit county.

-

-Leader regimental band Chauncey Brainard, Gustavus, Trumbull county.

-

-       *       *       *       *       *

-

-During the interim came the easy days of soldier life. Ah! those happy,

-golden days of camp life, when, with guard mount, battalion drill, and

-dress parade, the time passed swiftly away, and each heart beat high

-with patriotic desire for early marching orders; days looked back to

-from the dreary bivouac in the snow, tentless, and with clothing in

-tatters, scarce covering the form from the bitter, cutting winds of

-winter, or in the drizzling rain on the lonely outpost when sharp-eyed

-rebels only waited for the opportunity to send the leaden messenger

-of death whizzing in your direction. Sometimes the “boys” thought the

-rations were not sufficiently “gilt-edged,” quite too plain in fact,

-for the savers of the country’s honor, yet how often, while trying,

-almost in vain, with the half-pint of raw meal to keep the soul and

-the poor emaciated body together in those hell devised starvation

-traps--Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and Salisbury--did the brave

-fellows turn with longing hearts to the bounteous commissary at old

-Camp Giddings. Fears were oft expressed lest the war would close

-before the Twenty-ninth should be permitted to add its mite to the

-support of the flag. How needless they were the rolls show; more than

-one-third (five hundred and forty) of the one thousand five hundred and

-thirty-two members of the regiment, were either killed, wounded, or

-missing in action, and one hundred and fifty-seven died of disease. The

-colors, too, which waved so grandly in the sharp winter air, that long

-agone Christmas morning in 1861, are now in shreds, rent and torn by

-the leaden hail through which they were carried to glorious victories.

-

-This beautiful stand of colors was presented to the regiment on

-Wednesday, November 27th, by Hon. J. R. Giddings, on behalf of the

-donors, the ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties. Mr. Giddings

-spoke as follows: “Gentlemen, officers and soldiers. Before entering

-upon the particular duty assigned me on the present occasion, I may be

-permitted to congratulate you and the country, upon the completion of

-your regimental organization and the perfection of your preparation for

-the field. I desire you at all times to bear in mind the causes which

-led to its formation. The present rebellion has its origin far back in

-history. Its first overt acts were put forth in Congress by subjecting

-the people of the free States to gag rules, by striking down the right

-of petition, by arraigning and publicly censuring Representatives

-for the faithful discharge of duty, by annexing, unconstitutionally,

-slave territory, and extending and strengthening the encroachments of

-slavery. To these violent encroachments upon the constitutional rights

-of the free States, this Western Reserve has from the first, presented

-a very general resistance....

-

-“The ladies have prepared a splendid National and regimental stand of

-colors, and have imposed on me the pleasing duty of presenting them

-to the regiment. In all past ages civilized nations have gone forth

-to war under their own banner, on which was inscribed some device,

-figure, or emblem, peculiar to such nation. Thus each tribe among the

-Israelites had its particular banner. The early Christians fought under

-the cross, the Romans under the golden eagle, the Mohammedans under

-the crescent. The founders of our government selected for their colors

-a groundwork of blue, representing immutable justice and unlimited

-power, on which the stars, representing light, are twinkling in the

-vaulted heavens, while in mid ether the bird of Jove is floating, a

-fitting representation of the ease and power with which liberty and

-civilization are gliding over the earth; while the stars and stripes

-of red and white represent the vital principles and purity of our

-institutions.

-

-[Addressing Colonel Buckley]: “To you, sir, as commander, I present

-these beautiful standards, for the use and benefit of the regiment.

-On behalf of the fair donors I confide these National and regimental

-standards to the care of yourself, your gallant officers and men.

-Wherever you go let them be borne aloft and respected as the emblem

-of universal freedom to all who seek your protection. Preserve them

-unstained, except by the blood of your enemies. Bear in mind that you

-go forth to fight the battles of the human race for all coming time;

-and should the roar of cannon, the rattling of muskets, the clashing of

-sabres, the din and smoke of battle surround you, remember the cause in

-which you are engaged, and be assured that if you fall, we who are left

-will care for your widows and children. Your own heroic deeds shall be

-enshrined in our memories, recorded in our history, admired by coming

-generations, and approved by a holy and just God.”

-

-Colonel Buckley replied: “Respected Sir--I receive this stand of

-colors in behalf of the Twenty-ninth regiment. I return through you

-to the noble and patriotic ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties

-their grateful thanks; and whenever and wherever it is unfurled to the

-breeze, and we look upon its stars and stripes, may we then remember

-the generous donors and the vow we this day make. This flag, the flag

-of our country, which has been our pride and our boast, and which is

-respected by all civilized nations; this flag, thank God, shall yet

-wave triumphantly wherever it has been struck down by the ruthless arm

-of the traitors: and, companions, whenever we look upon this beautiful

-flag may it inspire us to redouble our energies to do our duty to our

-beloved country, and if God in his providence permits us to return to

-home and kindred, may this flag come back with us to bear witness that

-the Twenty-ninth regiment Ohio volunteers was in the thickest of the

-fight.

-

-“Sir, you have spoken in high commendation of my command. I can assure

-you I feel myself honored in having command of such a regiment. It

-will be my pride and ambition, with my fellow-officers to make it in

-all things pertaining to a well drilled and well disciplined regiment,

-one of the best in Ohio. And now, fellow-soldiers, in the presence of

-this assembly, and before high heaven, we swear upon the altar of our

-country to defend this flag so long as there shall be one true heart

-and strong arm to hold it to the breeze.”

-

-At last the “boys’” impatience to go anywhere but here, was gratified

-by an order to move to Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, the date

-December 25th; and right here it may not be amiss to give an extract

-from an editorial in the Ashtabula Sentinel, as showing what the people

-of Jefferson thought of the regiment:

-

-“They leave Jefferson with the respect and esteem of our citizens as an

-orderly and well behaved body of men. They have been over three months

-within our quiet village, during which time no disturbance has occurred

-and no depredations have been committed. They have proved themselves

-honorable men, the best evidence that they will be brave soldiers. When

-they are heard from in the fight we have no fears of a bad account.”

-CHAPTER II.

-

-The Departure from Camp Giddings--At the Front--Death of

-Lander--Advance up the Valley--Winchester.

-

-

-Christmas morning, 1861, dawned clear, with the earth bountifully

-covered with snow, and soon the busy preparations for this the first

-march were apparent everywhere. Knapsacks were packed, tents were

-struck, and the camp equipage snugly put into shape for transportation

-to Ashtabula, and at 10 o’clock the drums beat off. Then the regiment

-filed out of the enclosure, bidding a fond good-bye, many for the

-last time, to the old camp, up through the town, where everybody was

-waiting to wish the “boys” God speed. “Head of column left,” and

-the Twenty-ninth regiment was en-route for Ashtabula and the front,

-followed by the prayers of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and

-sweethearts, that its every effort might be crowned with success, and

-that, if heaven so willed, all might return safely to the arms of loved

-ones, “when the cruel war was over.” How beautiful they looked in

-their new uniform, and how gaily the bayonets glistened in the bright

-sunlight as each man kept step to the music.

-

-Arriving at Ashtabula, the regiment took cars, and was soon whirling

-rapidly towards Columbus, where it arrived the following day.

-

-On disembarking from the cars, a march of four miles on the National

-pike to the west brought the regiment to Camp Chase, where it was

-assigned to barracks, and the sweets (?) of soldier life began to

-be more perceptible. While lying here, the regiment attended the

-inauguration of David Tod as Governor of Ohio, and perfected itself in

-the school of the soldier. On the 26th day of January, 1862, the long

-roll again sounded; the Twenty-ninth regiment fell in, and marched to

-the depot, a distance of four miles. It took cars, and steamed away

-for Dixie, passing through Newark and Zanesville, and across the Ohio

-river at Bellair, thence via the Baltimore & Ohio railroad through the

-mountains of West Virginia to a point some six miles below Cumberland,

-Maryland, where it made its first camp in Dixie. There it was assigned

-to the left flank of the Third brigade (the Seventh Ohio volunteer

-infantry occupying the right), Colonel E. B. Tyler commanding, and

-here it may be well to state that from this time until the Seventh

-regiment was discharged the service (July 8, 1864), the two regiments

-occupied the same position, engaged in the same battles, and endured

-an equal amount of the hard service incident to the several campaigns.

-The Twenty-ninth remained in active service for nearly a year after

-the discharge of its well-bred friends of the Seventh and until the

-collapse of the Rebellion. This for the benefit of those who imagine

-that only one regiment was recruited in Northern Ohio.

-

-On February 5, 1862, a general movement was ordered to entrap the

-forces of Stonewall Jackson, then occupying Romney. The Twenty-ninth

-and its brigade took cars to French’s store, and marched some twenty

-miles to a point between Romney and Winchester to intercept the retreat

-of the rebels. The attempt was futile, however, as those whom the

-federals sought had flown ere the designated point was reached. This

-march was a terrible one, and told heavily on the men, many of whom

-succumbed to disease incident to exposure to the intense cold, the

-fording of streams whose icy waters were often waist deep, and the

-general hardships, were sent to hospital at Cumberland, and never

-returned to duty. Returning the following day, the regiment bivouacked

-at a point some eight miles from the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, known

-as Pine Levels or the Heights of Hampshire. Here it remained some ten

-days exposed to the intense cold, without tents, few blankets, on

-short rations, and no cooking utensils. Rude brush enclosures were

-constructed, which served the same purpose as Artemus Ward’s window

-sash, sort of “tangle the cold” or “keep out the coarsest.” It was by

-the greatest effort that the men were kept from freezing. This sort

-of thing seemed a pretty tough introduction to the “Sunny South,” but

-hardships of this kind became the normal experience of the Twenty-ninth

-regiment, and the sunny spots which occasionally intervened were duly

-appreciated.

-

-The next move was to the eastward to Paw Paw station on the Baltimore

-& Ohio railroad, near which the Twenty-ninth and its brigade went

-into camp. February 22d, Washington’s birthday, was duly observed. A

-general review was indulged in. The streets were prettily trimmed with

-evergreens; and arches, and other pretty devices were numerous. The

-Twenty-ninth were domiciled in small and nearly worn out wall tents.

-

-On Saturday, March 1st, as the shades of evening were falling, the

-Twenty-ninth and its command marched with two days’ rations, in the

-direction of Winchester, Virginia, the object being the capture of

-that important point. After an all night’s march the command halted,

-and, in a blinding snow storm, waited for further orders. At 5 o’clock

-P. M. a counter-march was ordered, and at about midnight the old camp

-at Paw Paw was reached. The object of this move was to attend the

-remains of brave General Lander to the cars, which was accomplished

-on the following day. All the troops in the vicinity were present. At

-9 o’clock on the morning of Saturday, March 8th, the command struck

-tents and marched to the railroad; at night took cars and moved in

-the direction of Martinsburg, en route for Winchester. Some two or

-three days were occupied in reaching the former place, as extreme

-caution was necessary. A burned bridge at Back creek stopped further

-steam locomotion, and on the 11th the command moved forward through

-Martinsburg, encamping some two miles out on the Winchester road. Here

-General James Shields, of some celebrity in the Mexican war, assumed

-command of the division, and the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania

-infantry volunteers was added to the brigade. The following morning the

-column continued the forward movement, under orders to join General

-Banks, in his attack on Winchester. The rebels retreated, and Shields’

-division went into camp to the north of Winchester, some four miles out

-on the Martinsburg pike.

-

-When the rebels first occupied Virginia General Johnston (commanding

-the extreme left of Beauregard’s army) took possession of Winchester.

-Troops from here destroyed the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and constantly

-harrassed our forces in the direction of Harper’s Ferry and Cumberland.

-It was of great importance that the Union arms gain and hold possession

-of this point, hence the concentration of Federal troops in this

-vicinity.

-

-Skirmishing with the enemy was a daily occurrence, and, on the morning

-of March 20th, a reconnoissance in force was made up the valley to

-Strasburg. General Shields, with the Twenty-ninth and its brigade,

-numbering some six thousand men, moved direct to that point, while

-Colonel Mason’s brigade advanced on the Front Royal road. At Cedar

-creek a lively artillery duel transpired, during which the rebels

-succeeded in burning the bridge. The following morning the entire

-command fell back to its camp below Winchester. This was a march which

-tested the men’s power of endurance to its utmost. The rain fell

-lightly but continuously during the day. For rations the men had barely

-one cracker each, and yet they made the entire distance--twenty-two

-miles--in seven hours, halting only a few minutes about noon.

-

-

-

-

-CHAPTER III.

-

-The Battle of Winchester or Kernstown--Stonewall Jackson Whipped.

-

-

-At Kernstown, some four miles south of Winchester, Jackson’s command,

-numbering fully fifteen thousand men, was massed, and on March 22d

-attacked the Union outposts. The citizens of Winchester, who, by the

-way, were about as thoroughly imbued with treason as at any point

-within the writer’s knowledge in the whole of the chivalrous (?) South,

-were in high glee at the prospect of being rid of those odious Lincoln

-hirelings, and some were so sanguine of success to the Southern arms

-that they prepared elegant repasts for the victors. However that may

-be, the rebel horde did not enter Winchester at this time, except,

-perhaps, a few dead ones carried there for burial.

-

-Soon after the firing began the First and Second brigades of General

-Shields’ division were moved to the front, and a lively skirmish

-ensued resulting in the repulse of the enemy. General Shields was

-wounded quite severely during this brief engagement, and at night,

-when active hostilities ceased, he retired to Winchester. The dawn of

-Sunday, March 23d, was heralded by the rapid boom of artillery and the

-lively rattle of musketry, as the advance of the two armies resumed

-the skirmishing of the previous afternoon. This was continued during

-nearly the entire forenoon. About noon the long roll beat throughout

-our camp; quickly the men fell into line, and in columns of fours,

-under command of brave Colonel Buckley, marched rapidly, a portion

-of the distance at a double quick, toward the point of attack. On

-reaching Winchester the regiment halted, came to a front, loaded their

-pieces, and remained until the artillery and trains had passed. We then

-moved on the road leading to Kernstown, some two or three miles, and

-again halted. After some vexatious delay the regiment again resumed

-the march and soon reached the scene of the action, which was about

-seven miles from Winchester. The enemy were under General Thomas J.

-Jackson (Stonewall). His right extending across the Pike leading to

-Strasburg, and his forces on his left masked behind a stone fence,

-while at the rear for a considerable distance the ground was a gradual

-ascent covered with stumps and wood which were well used as cover. The

-Twenty-ninth regiment and its brigade was moved to the extreme right

-of the line, and, formed in close column, by division, moved forward

-through the timber to the attack. At close range the rebels opened a

-heavy fire, but we continued to advance, halting at a small ravine

-where we deployed in line of battle, and in this position a sharp

-and determined engagement ensued. The distance between the opposing

-forces did not exceed sixteen rods. Late in the afternoon an order was

-given the Third brigade to charge the rebel line. Quick as thought the

-whole line sprang forward, and with cheers sounding above the roar

-of the conflict, in the teeth of a murderous fire, swept down over

-the stone wall and at the bayonet’s point drove the enemy from their

-chosen position. To the rear they fled until reaching their artillery,

-where another stand was made and a rally attempted. The Union lead

-poured into their ranks with such deadly effect that they soon became

-panic-stricken, and in the greatest disorder retreated in whatever

-direction best offered an avenue of escape, and Stonewall Jackson, the

-pride of the South and by many considered the bravest general in the

-rebel army, was whipped, and that, too, by a force much inferior in

-numbers, many of whom had never faced death before.

-

-To make the victory still more sure our forces followed the disordered

-mass of fleeing rebels and captured many prisoners, until darkness

-closed over all, when our brave boys returned to rest upon their

-laurels upon the bloody field of carnage, bury the dead and care for

-the wounded. The result of this battle was a loss to the rebels of

-the Shenandoah valley, at that time of great importance to them, with

-casualties amounting to some five hundred men killed, wounded, and left

-on the field, and three hundred prisoners. The loss of the Twenty-ninth

-regiment in this action was: Five killed, seven wounded, two missing;

-aggregate fourteen. See casualties at the close of the volume for

-names.

-CHAPTER IV.

-

-Pursuit of Jackson--The “Long” March--Fredericksburg to Front

-Royal--March to Waynesboro.

-

-

-At early dawn on the morning of March 24th the Union army pushed

-forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels. The Twenty-ninth deployed

-as skirmishes in the advance. Many wounded Confederates were found in

-private houses along the line of march. About noon the dashing rebel

-cavalry officer Ashby came from cover and suddenly swooped down upon

-the regiment with a heavy cavalry force. Rallying by companies and

-forming squares, a well directed volley soon sent the rebels in haste

-to the rear. The pursuit of the fleeing rebels was continued until

-nightfall, when the regiment went into bivouac near Cedar creek. The

-next morning (25th) our columns again pushed forward until reaching a

-point a little in advance of Strasburg, where a halt was ordered and

-a camp (Kimball), established. Here we remained for some time, making

-frequent raids into the surrounding country and skirmishing almost

-daily with the enemy.

-

-April 1st the regiment again moved after the retreating army, and

-about daylight on the following morning indulged in some artillery

-firing with the rebel rear guards. During the month of April the

-regiment marched up the valley as far as Newmarket, passing the towns

-of Woodstock and Mount Jackson. At the latter place a hospital was

-established, and companies G and E were detailed for provost, and

-other duties, in and around Mount Jackson, while the remainder of the

-regiment moved up the valley to Camp Thurburn and continued the usual

-picket, camp, and guard duties.

-

-May 3d left camp and marched up the valley in the direction of

-Harrisburg; halted about three miles from town and camped for the

-night. May 5th, returned from near the town of Harrisburg and went into

-camp four miles above Newmarket, where the regiment remained until

-the 12th day of May, when it left the Shenandoah valley at Newmarket

-on the long march to Fredericksburg, marched to Luray, and encamped

-for the night (marched eighteen miles). Thirteenth, moved at 7 A. M.

-The Twenty-ninth, was detailed as rear guard. Fourteenth, marched

-at 6, reached Front Royal at 3:30 P. M. and camped for the night.

-Fifteenth, marched at 9 A. M., traveled thirteen miles, and went into

-camp. Sixteenth, marched at 6:30 A. M., reached Gains’ Cross Road,

-and camped for the night, (marched ten miles). May 17th, marched at 6

-A. M., and reached Warrenton (distance of eighteen miles), and went

-into camp for the night. Sunday, May 18th, remained in camp. Monday,

-19th, marched at 5 o’clock A. M., and at 3 P. M. reached the Orange &

-Alexandria railroad at Catlet’s Station, and went into camp. Remained

-until May 21st, when the regiment again marched at 6 A. M., halting at

-10:30 P. M. for the night. Twenty-second, marched at 7 A. M., reached

-Falmouth in the evening, and went into camp. Friday, May 23d, the army

-under Major-general McDowell was reviewed by Abraham Lincoln, the

-President of the United States, with satisfactory results. Sunday,

-25th, marched at 6 A. M., and at 4:30 went into camp. Twenty-sixth,

-marched at 5 A. M., and camped for the night at Catlet’s Station.

-Twenty-seventh, marched some four miles on the Manassas Gap railroad,

-and went into camp. Twenty-eighth, marched at 5 A. M. past White

-Plains; after tramping fifteen miles went into camp. Twenty-ninth,

-marched at 7 o’clock A. M. in the direction of Front Royal, reached

-Rectortown at 4 o’clock P. M., and two hours later fell in, in light

-marching order, and moved forward, leaving the baggage until May

-31st, when at 4 o’clock A. M. it moved forward towards Front Royal,

-reaching Piedmont at 9 A. M., and Markham at 4 P. M.; moved to within

-six miles of Front Royal, and camped for the night. June 1st, marched

-to Front Royal, and at 4 P. M. moved forward some three miles on the

-Luray road, and went into camp. June 2d, marched at 6 A. M., marched

-thirteen miles, and went into camp. Third, marched at 7 A. M., reached

-Luray at 12 M., passed through the town on the Newmarket road, some

-two miles and camped. Fourth, remained in camp all day. Fifth, marched

-at 5 A. M., marched four miles, halted, put up our tents, and prepared

-to be comfortable, when at 3 o’clock P. M. we were ordered to move.

-This was occasioned by the close proximity of the rebel batteries on

-the opposite side of the river. The regiment marched about one mile

-and again halted for the night. Sixth, ordered to march at 4 A. M.,

-fell into line at 5, moved two miles, halted, stacked arms, soon fell

-in and marched about two miles farther, pitched our tents, and at 6

-P. M. fell in and marched back to the place the regiment left in the

-morning, where we arrived at 12 at night, and went into camp. Saturday,

-7th, the regiment was up at 4 A. M. and marched at 9 A. M. (the baggage

-was ordered to Luray and Front Royal; Sergeant C. H. Edgerly and

-Private Willard Denison, of Company H, were furloughed home for thirty

-days), marched up the east bank of the Shenandoah river, a distance of

-fourteen miles, halted at 6 P. M., and went into camp. Eighth, marched

-at 4 A. M., halted at 6:30 for breakfast, and at 8:15 again moved

-forward; soon heard the artillery firing at Cross Keys on the west

-side of the Shenandoah river and mountain. The regiment moved on up

-the river and about 5 o’clock P. M. were in sight of the rebels, whose

-ambulances and train were moving rapidly in retreat in the direction

-of Port Republic from the battle of Cross Keys. The Union forces were

-under the command of Major-general John C. Fremont, and the Confederate

-army commanded by Major-general Thomas J. Jackson. The Union army took

-shelter in a strip of woods at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountain,

-near Port Republic, Virginia, and bivouacked for the night.

-

-

-CHAPTER V.

-

-Battle of Port Republic--The Twenty-ninth Suffer Great Loss.

-

-

-On June 9th, in the dim light of early morning the enemy began to move,

-and soon our artillery opened a brisk fire on them. The Twenty-ninth

-regiment, under command of Colonel Buckley, was ordered to fall in,

-and at 6:45 o’clock marched out of the timber into the open field, and

-moved forward a short distance, when the men unslung knapsacks and

-other equipage and, reduced to light marching order, advanced by the

-right flank, and when near the rebel position came into line on the

-double quick. While doing so we were obliged to pass a board fence;

-and at this critical time the rebels opened a heavy fire of musketry,

-but the regiment moved steadily forward and took position in the open

-field. The rebels in front of our right wing were behind a strong post

-and rail fence.

-

-From the base of the mountain to the Shenandoah river was about

-one-half mile. The extreme left of our line extended into the timber

-and near the base of the mountain with the right flank extending to

-the river. The Fifth, Sixty-sixth and Seventh Ohio regiments were on

-our left, and the Seventh Virginia, Seventh, Thirteenth and Fourteenth

-Indiana on our right. The Twenty-ninth being about the right center

-regiment during the battle, and at this time in support of Huntington’s

-battery, which was belching forth its shot and shell, doing deadly

-execution in the ranks of the advancing rebels. When in close range

-the rebels charged. Reserving our fire until they were almost upon

-us, the order was given, and with a yell the entire line poured its

-leaden hail into the gray clad columns of the chivalry, producing

-fearful slaughter, and following with a charge so impetuous that they

-were forced to retire from their secure position behind the fence, and

-here, for more than three hours and a half, our brave fellows, though

-outnumbered ten to one by the enemy and fighting against fate, kept

-them at bay and held the position. During this charge it is said that

-Allen Mason, of company C, Twenty-ninth regiment, captured the colors

-of the Seventh Louisiana Tigers, and Lieutenant Gregory and a part of

-company F made prisoners of twenty-five of the same regiment. At last

-the little handful, who had so gallantly contended against such fearful

-odds, were forced to retire. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved to the

-rear, perhaps an eighth of a mile, and came to a halt, holding the

-rebel forces in check until the entire Union forces had passed to the

-rear. In the meantime the rebels had opened fire upon us with a battery

-at close range, which did fearful execution in our rapidly decimating

-ranks. When all our troops had passed, our regiment faced to the right

-and moved obliquely into the timber; the rebels in the meantime passed

-down the road and we were nearly surrounded, and now, for a distance

-of nearly two miles occurred a desperate struggle for freedom. The men

-fought with the desperation born of despair. Brave old Colonel Buckley

-(who before beginning the day’s business addressed the regiment,

-saying: “Aim low, men, and at every shot let a traitor fall!”) on foot,

-his own and one other horse having been disabled by a shot, rallied the

-men, and with sword in hand with them succeeded in cutting their way

-through the cordon of gray devils almost surrounding them, and escaped

-to the mountains near, where some one hundred men of the different

-regiments of the Third brigade, with Colonel Buckley at their head,

-bivouacked for the night. The small remainder of the regiment, except

-those killed, wounded or captured, succeeded in reaching the main

-army. Captain Baldwin says that those who reached the main army of the

-Twenty-ninth regiment numbered only thirteen officers and men.

-

-The night succeeding this eventful day of blood and carnage was spent

-amid the gloom and darkness of the forest. The men gathered about their

-brave commander as if to shield him from the damps of night, their

-thoughts turning meanwhile to the absent comrades, many of whom, how

-many they knew not, were lying, still and ghastly, upon the bloody

-field, a sacrifice to the incompetency of the general commanding. The

-day following, the little band began its weary march to the rear,

-seeking shelter at night in some unused furnace buildings. The next day

-they came in sight of the rear guard of the retreating army, where they

-found the small remnant of the Twenty-ninth, who had escaped death or

-capture, and who, when they saw their beloved colonel alive and well,

-fairly rent the very heavens above with their glad shouts of welcome.

-

-The number of the Union army engaged in this battle was some

-twenty-five hundred, and could form but one line of battle, while

-Stonewall Jackson’s official report shows his army to have numbered

-some _thirty-four thousand_. The Twenty-ninth regiment lost heavily in

-this battle. The aggregate was: Killed, 12; wounded, 33; captured, 105;

-total, 150.

-

-After the battle the Twenty-ninth regiment moved down the valley to

-Luray, where the command encamped for a few days’ rest, then forward

-to Front Royal, and on to Alexandria, reaching that point on June

-27th, encamping on a rise of ground immediately adjacent to the

-line of fortifications. The Third brigade was now composed of the

-Seventh, Fifth, Sixty-sixth, and Twenty-ninth Ohio regiments, in the

-order named. General Shields having resigned by reason of McDowell’s

-misrepresentations in relation to the ill-advised battle of Port

-Republic, General Sturgis, who has recently received so much adverse

-criticism through the press of the country, for his brutal and inhuman

-treatment of his men, was placed temporarily in command. After lying at

-this point for nearly one month orders were received to move to the aid

-of General McClellan on the Peninsula, and we embarked on transports,

-but the order was countermanded and the Third brigade marched back to

-its old camp.

-

-July 25th we were ordered to join the force of General Pope, then

-marching via Warrenton to the Rapidan river. Proceeding by rail to

-the former point the brigade was reorganized and attached to Banks’

-Second corps, afterwards changed to the Twelfth army corps, as the

-First brigade of General Augur’s Second division. After a few days of

-“masterly inactivity” we marched in the direction of Luray. Debouching

-to the left on the road leading southward toward the Rapidan, we soon

-reached Little Washington and went into camp. While here the troops

-were reviewed by Generals Pope and Banks, who complimented our brigade

-very highly upon its perfection in drill and discipline. General Tyler

-was here ordered to Washington, and Brigadier-general John W. Geary,

-late colonel of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania infantry volunteers, was

-placed in command of our brigade. His regiment and Knapp’s battery were

-also assigned to the brigade. A forward movement in the direction of

-Culpeper Court House, Virginia (on the Rapidan), was begun on August

-8th. Here the Confederates were preparing defences, and at Cedar

-Mountain, some seven miles to the southwest of our position, they were

-strongly fortified.

-

-

-

-

-CHAPTER VI.

-

-1862.

-

-Cedar Mountain--Battle--Severe Loss of Life--Forward to Alexandria.

-

-

-August 8th, the regiment moved at 2 o’clock, advanced to Culpeper Court

-House, and went into camp; and at 10:40, on the morning of August 9th,

-moved forward in the direction of Cedar mountain. Halted a short time,

-and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment was sent to the right on an

-eminence as signal guard. The remainder of the brigade soon advanced,

-halting at intervals, as the day was insufferably hot (several men died

-this day of sunstroke). At last, passing through a piece of timber,

-we approached the open field with a rolling country in our front, and

-at 1:30, while making preparations for dinner (near a fine spring

-of water), skirmishing and artillery firing was heard on our right,

-which continued at intervals until 3:45, when the rebels appeared in

-heavy force, ready for battle, and the Union lines were formed without

-delay. The Twenty-ninth regiment (commanded by Captain W. F. Stevens,

-of Company B,) was ordered to advance and take position in rear of

-a battery which had been placed on a ridge. Here the regiment took

-position, the right resting on the road, and the left extending into

-the field, covered from the enemy by the hill on which the battery

-was placed. The Twenty-ninth, with other regiments of the brigade,

-was about on the right of the left wing of the line in open field,

-while the right wing extended across the road, and into the timber.

-The regiment remained in this position, supporting the battery, and

-receiving a heavy fire from the rebel artillery in our front. Here

-several men were wounded.

-

-At 5 o’clock P. M., we moved over the crest of the hill, to a cornfield

-some distance in advance of our previous position. During the advance

-to this new position a terrific cannonade opened on us, dealing great

-destruction to our ranks. Apparently every cannon of the enemy was

-let loose against us, but we never faltered in this march of death,

-despite the terrible missiles that were tearing through our bleeding

-ranks. Comrades were falling, and brothers dying. The mangled and

-bleeding victims of the fury and violence of war were left thick

-around us, making the ground sacred on which they fell; but we wavered

-not. Reaching a low piece of ground, we halted, and were ordered to

-lie down and continue firing. We remained for one hour in the open

-field, exposed to this furious storm of grape and canister, shot and

-shell. Comrades gave up their lives so gently that it was scarce

-possible to tell the living from the dead. The fatal missile struck

-the victim, leaving the lifeless clay in the same attitude which the

-living body occupied. During the fatal period death assumed a real

-character while life seemed but a dream. The engagement had now become

-general. The brigade of General Prince came up, and formed on the left

-of our regiment. The Sixty-sixth, Fifth, and Seventh Ohio regiments

-were formed on our right, in the order named. (The Twenty-eighth

-Pennsylvania regiment was not with us in this engagement.)

-

-At a given signal the brigade arose and, with defiant yells, rushed

-forward to the charge. Prince’s brigade on the left moved forward

-with us. A sheet of flame and smoke burst forth from rebel batteries,

-musketry replied to musketry, bayonet clashed with bayonet, and cheers

-rang out against cheers, as one side or the other gained the advantage

-in this deadly conflict. Daring warmed into rashness, and bravery

-into recklessness. Hurrah! we force them back, their line is broken,

-a battery is almost within our grasp; when in this moment of seeming

-certain victory, fresh columns of rebel infantry rush upon us on the

-double-quick, masked batteries open on us at the same moment a most

-furious enfilading fire, causing our brave boys to reel and stagger.

-An order comes for us to retire, when three-fourths of our regiment

-have been placed out of the fight--dead or wounded. Slowly and sadly

-the remaining few obey the order, keeping our faces to the foe until

-fresh troops arrive to take our places, when we resume our position

-in the reserve near Telegraph hill. Each regiment of the brigade had

-done nobly, but all alike had suffered a loss so great that the four

-regiments together could not show a respectable facing front for one

-regiment. As night settled over the field of carnage and of death our

-entire army corps withdrew to the position it held early in the day,

-but our artillery kept up a desultory firing, with but short intervals

-during the night.

-

-The casualties of this battle were: Killed, 11; wounded, 26; missing,

-12. Total, 49.

-

-Private George Williams, company F, came off the field with his third

-gun--two having been shot from his hands.

-

-During August 10th and 11th skirmishing continued. In the afternoon of

-the last-named day the 29th regiment was inspected. Adjutant Storer

-reported eighty-three men only present for duty.

-

-The Union army remained on the field three days, retiring, on August

-12th, to Culpeper Court House, where it encamped. Our pickets,

-going over the battle field on the 13th, reported that dead horses

-were piled in promiscuous positions; dismounted cannons, wrecked

-caissons, and broken firearms were everywhere, while the graves of

-the fallen, singly and in trenches, were scattered over the entire

-field, only the freshly heaped up earth marking the spots. In one spot

-were the unburied bodies of a boy in blue and one in gray, their arms

-interlocked as their brave souls went out to the God who gave them, the

-one for the right, the other, it is hoped, forgiven for his misguided

-championship of the wrong.

-

-Twelfth, marched to Culpeper Court House, and went into camp. 13th,

-put up tents and prepared to live. 14th, and all is quiet. 15th,

-another inspection and review. There is one consolation if we do have

-inspection every other day, there are so few men left that but little

-time is consumed in doing so. 16th, 17th, and 18th, still in camp; was

-inspected again, and at 6 o’clock on the evening of the latter day,

-struck tents under orders to march; slept on our arms that night. 19th,

-marched at 10 A. M., north to the Rappahannock, a distance of eleven

-miles, and went into camp. Had only a small quantity of green corn

-to eat. 20th, all quiet in camp. 21st, at 6 A. M. firing began, and

-was kept up along the line all day; at 7 in the evening the regiment,

-under command of Captain Schoonover, marched two miles and halted;

-company H was sent forward to the picket line, and the regiment moved

-at 6:30 A. M. along the Rappahannock; halted at 9:30; after a brief

-rest the regiment again fell in, and marched till 12 at noon without

-breakfast; sharp firing along the line; halted until 6 o’clock P. M.;

-moved up the Rappahannock river two miles, halted, stacked arms, and

-remained up nearly all night; (rainy) no tents or blankets, made our

-bed of rails. Saturday, August 23d, at 6 o’clock A. M. the artillery

-opened fire, and continued until 11 o’clock P. M.; remained on our arms

-all day; at 10 o’clock P. M. moved a short distance up the river, and

-the Twenty-ninth went on picket. 24th, and all is quiet; at 9:30 A. M.

-the artillery commenced firing, which was kept up continually during

-the day. 25th, artillery and musketry firing all along the line; at

-8 o’clock P. M. the Twenty-ninth with its brigade moved up the river

-four miles and camped for the night. 26th, no rations for breakfast,

-but after a short time some green corn was procured, which filled the

-bill. At 8 A. M. the artillery dueling again commenced and was kept up

-the remainder of the day. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved one-half mile

-for shelter, remained here until 9 P. M., when it marched forward until

-3 o’clock A. M., of the 27th; halted, moved forward a distance of three

-miles, and again halted. At 1 o’clock P. M., moved in the direction of

-Warrenton Junction, and camped for the night (no rations for supper

-or breakfast). On the morning of the 28th day of August, the regiment

-moved at 5 A. M., marched three miles and halted, drew rations and moved

-on in the direction of Bristow station, and camped for the night. Heavy

-firing in our advance all day. 29th, remained in camp, about two miles

-above Bristow station. 30th, marched at 6 o’clock A. M. and halted at

-Bristow station, and remained till 5 o’clock P. M., when the enemy was

-reported in our rear. The sick and disabled were moved to Alexandria

-and other points. August 31st, teams and trains containing camp and

-garrison equipage and other army supplies, were moved in the direction

-of Fairfax Court House.

-

-During the campaign under Major-general Pope from August 20th until

-the regiment reached Alexandria on the 2d day of September, 1862, it

-was one continuous march and counter-march, by day and night, moving

-up the Rappahannock as far as White Sulphur Springs. On the 29th and

-30th of August near the Bull Run battle ground. A very hard battle was

-fought, in which the Nationals were forced from the field, and again

-late in the afternoon on the 1st day of September at Chantilly, a short

-distance from Fairfax Court House, a sanguinary battle was fought,

-which continued late in the evening. In this last engagement the

-Nationals held the field at night, and on the 2d the Union army fell

-back within the fortifications around Washington city. During the last

-two or three days of the above campaign the Twenty-ninth regiment was

-completely cut off from the main army, as it had been ordered to guard

-the quartermaster stores with other government property on the railroad

-at and near Bristow station, and when ordered to join its brigade it

-found the enemy in the rear, so that it was only by a circuitous route

-in the direction of Brintsville, and a forced march that it reached the

-Chantilly battlefield during the engagement, on September 1st. Here it

-bivouacked for the night, and on the following day marched to Arlington

-heights, via Alexandria, where it went into camp.

-

-During the last twelve days of the campaign the Twenty-ninth suffered

-severely for rations and rest, it being on the march, under fire, and

-on the skirmish line the entire time. When we reached Fairfax station,

-on the platform of the depot we found an immense table upon which our

-wounded boys were being subjected to the ofttimes bungling butchery

-of ignorant alleged surgeons, a number of whom were busily engaged in

-depriving the poor fellows under their charge of wounded legs and

-arms, and in many cases hastening their death thereby. This worse than

-murder by men, the majority of whom, when at home, had never even

-witnessed a capital operation, cannot be too highly condemned. (The

-writer is personally acquainted with professional men of this sort,

-who came out of the service first-class carvers, but the number of

-brave fellows sacrificed to bring about this state of proficiency is

-unknown.) It was now ascertained that the Confederate army of General

-Lee was making rapid marches towards Maryland. To checkmate this

-movement our columns were at once ordered on a retrograde movement in

-the direction of Washington. Reaching Alexandria, we passed up the

-Potomac, crossing at the long bridge, and moving forward to Georgetown

-where a halt of one day was made, the command departing the following

-morning for Frederick City, Maryland, which was said to be occupied by

-the rebels. A day’s march brought us beyond Rockville, Maryland, where

-we encamped for the night. At 2 o’clock, on the afternoon of September

-5th, the regiment marched to Monocacy Junction, where the rebels had a

-short time previous destroyed the railroad bridge.

-

-

-

-CHAPTER VII.

-

-Frederick City--Recruits--Dumfries.

-

-

-The regiment remained at Monocacy junction, guarding the immense

-supply trains which had accumulated here by reason of the burned

-bridge. Sergeant Baldwin relates that a lot of rebel prisoners passed

-Monocacy bridge, one of whom claimed to have fired seven shots at

-Colonel Buckley at the battle of Port Republic, but without effect.

-About September 13th, the bridge having been replaced, we moved on to

-Frederick city, Maryland. Here we engaged in camp, picket, and provost

-duty, and a large number of the men were detailed to care for the

-wounded from the battlefields of South Mountain and Antietam, September

-14th and 17th.

-

-In the meantime we were joined by a large number of recruits, amongst

-which was a brigade cornet band, composed of the following members:

-George Shaw, leader; Everett Shaw, assistant leader; J. G. Caskey,

-Jacob Koplin, Sylvanus Hile, Columbus Ferguson, N. G. Hartman,

-Christian Hardag, William Kurtz, George Metcalf, James Lyon, “Bige”

-Nickerson, Benjamin Snyder, George Turney, Micajah Rice, Bennett

-Wadsworth, Edward White, Frank Waltz, Eli Waltz; Gurley G. Crane, drum

-major.

-

-November 25th, Colonel Clark says: “Patiently waiting in camp. ‘Dress

-parade’ to-day, the first many of us have seen since May last. Only

-about two hundred men in line. Remembering how far our line reached at

-Camp Giddings, our force looks small indeed.”

-

-November 27th. “Cold and raw. A fierce gale makes our canvas houses

-rock like cradles. We are now having an easy time; that is all but the

-men and the mules. Our men go on duty every other day. As to rations,

-don’t think any of us will get the gout.”

-

-November 27th. “Thanksgiving.--‘Distance lends enchantment,’ etc., to

-turkeys, chickens, pies, and fixin’s that make good cheer at home.

-Well, some of us are thankful--that we are here instead of being locked

-up in those dirty rebel prisons. Nine of our officers and a large

-number of our men have just been released. This inactivity is irksome

-to the volunteer who has business at home needing his attention. We

-hardly think Burnside will reach Richmond via Fredericksburg unless he

-goes as some of us did--as prisoners.”

-

-On the 10th day of December, 1862, the regiment struck tents at

-Frederick City, Maryland, and moved by cars in the direction of

-Harper’s Ferry. At Sandy Hook a halt was made for the night; slept in

-freight cars; suffered severely from cold. The following day marched

-at 6 A. M. About noon crossed the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers into

-Virginia; marched about nine miles and camped for the night. Twelfth,

-marched at 3 P. M. some nine miles and went into camp. Thirteenth, moved

-at 6 A. M., marched twelve miles, halted for dinner, passed through

-Leesburg, and camped for the night. Fourteenth, marched at sunrise,

-passed through Fairfax Court House to the station, where we encamped.

-Fifteenth, marched till about 4 P. M., crossed Broad run and encamped

-for the night. Sixteenth, marched four miles in rain, snow, and mud; at

-12 M. halted for dinner; had a fight with a Pennsylvania regiment over

-some rails that had been collected from the fence. These we used for

-wood occasionally in preparing our meals.

-

-[It] is perhaps unnecessary to mention that the Twenty-ninth boys

-enjoyed good fires to-day. In the afternoon the Twenty-ninth went on

-picket one mile to the rear. Seventeenth, brigade counter-marched

-to Fairfax station, where it remained until the 19th, when it moved

-southeast about one and one-half miles to an orchard, where it

-encamped, and where it remained until the 27th, when it marched at 9

-A. M.; reached Broad run late in the evening. On the hill on the south

-side of the creek was a fort occupied by rebels; the Twenty-ninth

-crossed the creek, halted, loaded their guns, and advanced, and a

-red-hot little skirmish ensued at the close of which the rebels fell

-back. We went into the fort, sending two companies out in the road

-leading towards Dumfries as skirmishers. The regiment remained on

-arms all night; cold and frosty. Guns are not very warm bed-fellows.

-Twenty-eighth, marched at 7:30 A. M., Twenty-ninth in advance of

-division. About 10 o’clock met some rebel cavalry; the Twenty-ninth

-regiment deployed into line of battle, a few shots were fired, and the

-rebels fell back. One man wounded in company A. While in this position

-Generals Slocum, Geary, and Green came up; a battery was soon in

-position which sent a few shots after the retreating rebel cavalry. In

-the afternoon marched through the woods on right of road, in line of

-battle, while the division moved in the road; skirmishing the balance

-of the day. At dark we halted three miles from Dumfries and camped for

-the night. Twenty-ninth, reached Dumfries’ about 10 o’clock A. M., and

-went into camp on the side hill in the woods north of town.

-

-January 1, 1863, the regiment and its brigade remained at Dumfries,

-doing camp and picket duty, until January 16th, when it was ordered

-to march on two hours’ notice, did not march. On the 17th and 18th

-nothing transpired worthy of note. On the 19th the regiment passed

-in grand review by Colonel Charles Canby, of the Sixty-sixth Ohio

-infantry. January 27th, General Geary visited the regiment while on

-parade, and complimented us on our discipline, neat appearance, and

-soldierly deportment. February 2nd, Colonel L. P. Buckley, Adjutant T.

-S. Winship, Captain E. Burridge and Lieutenant Gregory, of company F,

-resigned and went home. Lieutenant J. B. Storer was made adjutant, and

-Sergeant H. R. Baldwin, of company F, promoted to captain. February 3d,

-Companies D and I were detached at Dumfries landing, on the Potomac,

-about four miles from camp, doing guard duty, unloading army supplies

-from boats, and loading the Second Division trains.

-

-On the 14th some musketry firing was heard in the direction of

-Brentsville.

-

-March 9th, Eli Waltz, of Company D, and a member of the brigade band,

-died.

-

-April 16th, Companies D and I moved from the landing, and joined the

-regiment.

-

-From the 29th day of December, 1862, the time when the Twenty-ninth

-regiment entered Dumfries, its duties were severe; the line of

-pickets was over three miles long, and over one mile from camp; and

-as the rebel cavalry were hovering around, the main roads entering

-Dumfries, were patroled at night. Our men suffered severely from

-cold and the protracted storms. In the meantime five companies were

-added to the brigade. The Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania originally had

-fifteen companies; five companies were added to the new recruits, and

-designated the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania, with Ario

-Pardee as colonel. Our first brigade now consists of the Twenty-ninth,

-Seventh, Fifth, and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments, and Twenty-eighth and

-One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania.

-

-The suffering our men endured during our stay at Dumfries from

-inclemency of the weather, the arduous service, and the scarcity of

-almost every necessity, cannot be easily over-estimated, and it might

-with propriety go into history as a counterpart of that much written

-about, and extensively illustrated affair “Washington at Valley Forge.”

-

-About the 20th day of April, 1863, with Colonel Clark in command, the

-Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade, left Dumfries, Virginia,

-and marched to Aqua creek, which place it reached two days later,

-and encamped about one mile from the Potomac river. Aqua creek is

-sixty miles below Washington on the river; it was used as a base for

-supplies, and a field hospital was soon established. The regiment

-with its brigade remained at this place performing the usual camp

-and garrison duty, building forts and, at the same time, doing its

-full share of picket duty. We are encamped on the hill overlooking

-the Potomac. To the north and west is a fine rolling country partly

-covered with pine timber and tangled undergrowth. All was quiet until

-orders were received to march; then what a bustle; haversacks were

-filled, each soldier furnished with sixty rounds of ammunition, and

-preparations made for “business.” At 7 o’clock A. M., on the 27th day

-of April, the regiment fell into line and moved forward on the road

-leading to Kelleys ford via Stafford Court House and Hartwood church,

-reaching the Rappahannock river at Kelley’s ford late in the afternoon.

-The enemy was found in small force on the south bank of the river. Late

-in the evening the Sixty-sixth Ohio regiment crossed the river in a

-small boat capable of carrying but one company at a time. The regiment

-deployed as skirmishers, holding the enemy back until the division

-had all crossed when we bivouacked for the night. The next morning we

-marched at 5:30 A. M., the Twenty-ninth regiment in advance; passed

-through a low, level country, with heavy timber; halted at 12 M. for

-dinner at a fine residence on a large plantation; fell in at 1:30 P. M.

-and moved in an easterly direction, reaching the Rapidan river late

-in the afternoon. The bridge had been destroyed, so that a crossing

-was not effected until in the evening, after which the Twenty-ninth

-camped for the night. 29th instant,--marched at 7:30 A. M. on the direct

-road to Chancellorsville. About 10 o’clock A. M. General Slocum came

-up and orders were received for the Twenty-ninth regiment to send out

-a line of skirmishers on the right of the road, which was done, the

-regiment passing through an open field and entering the timber, forcing

-the enemy back; marched on the flank through the woods and thick

-undergrowth for several miles, were then ordered to join the brigade.

-We reached Chancellorsville late in the afternoon of April 30th, where

-we found a small force of Confederate soldiers who were engaged in

-throwing up earthworks near the Chancellor house, at a point where the

-roads crossed, one leading to the United States ford, and the other

-to Fredericksburg. The Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade and

-division, were the first Union soldiers to enter the place. A number of

-prisoners were taken, and late in the evening the Twenty-ninth moved a

-short distance southwest from the main road and the Chancellor house

-into a piece of timber and bivouacked for the night.

-

-1863.

-

-Battle of Chancellorsville--March to Leesburg, Littletown, and

-Gettysburg.

-

-

-The morning of May 1st dawned upon a scene of bustle and active

-preparation for the bloody work which was to follow. Troops had been

-arriving during the entire night from the direction of the United

-States ford, and the light of early morning revealed an almost solid

-mass of blue-coated soldiers filling the open fields and woods in the

-vicinity of the Chancellor house. They were mainly from the Fifth,

-Eleventh, and Twelfth corps. At about 8 o’clock A. M. the Twenty-ninth,

-with its brigade and division, made a reconnoissance in force, and

-after marching about one-half mile the division formed in line of

-battle, and in this position was moved about the field until afternoon,

-when the lines were generally moved to the east through the timber,

-the right resting on the road. Moving perhaps half a mile we found the

-enemy in strong force, his artillery masked in the road. During this

-time some skirmishing and artillery firing was indulged in, and several

-of the Twenty-ninth were wounded. Late in the afternoon we moved to the

-rear under a heavy fire from the rebel artillery. Reaching the place

-we had left in the morning we set to work throwing up breastworks.

-The rebels advanced and our skirmishers kept up a rattling fire all

-night, while the regiment worked like beavers preparing the works for

-the coming conflict. The Second division, commanded by John W. Geary,

-occupied about the left center in the order of battle.

-

-During the evening of May 1st the Confederate army were charging the

-right of our lines, and for four hours the artillery firing on both

-sides was terrific. It continued at intervals the entire night. The

-air was ablaze and full of deadly missiles dealing destruction all

-around us; the earth trembled under our feet; the rattle and roar of

-artillery was like continued bursts of thunder. The heavens seemed

-on fire, revealing the deadly strife of two grand armies locked in

-close embrace, fighting with desperate valor. The dense smoke was

-lightened by rapid flashes of artillery, the bursting of shell, and the

-unceasing discharges of musketry, making a scene grand and terrible

-in the extreme. At midnight this deadly combat ceased, the death-like

-stillness which succeeded being broken only by the cries of the wounded

-and the dying comrades so recently beside us in deadly combat. About 1

-o’clock at night pickets were posted forty yards from the main line. We

-were so near the rebel pickets we could hear every movement. Here we

-lay flat on the ground watching for demonstrations of the enemy until

-the dawning of another day of blood and death. In the first flush of

-early morning the rebels advanced with columns _en masse_ and at once

-opened fire on us. This we returned and then quickly retired under a

-storm of leaden hail. Leaping over the rifle-pits we soon rejoined the

-command.

-

-The Twenty-ninth regiment now moved in a southwesterly direction along

-the line of works a short distance, in support of a New York regiment.

-While supporting this regiment the Twenty-ninth was under artillery

-fire from the right flank. Colonel Clark was struck by a shell, and

-rendered unconscious nearly two hours. The regiment again moved into

-its old position on the road south of the Chancellorsville house,

-where it remained under heavy fire of artillery and musketry, and in

-the afternoon our right flank was turned, and the Union army was soon

-forced back in the direction of the river, at Banks’ ford. When the

-Twenty-ninth fell back the rebels were in possession of the Chancellor

-house, and there were not one hundred Union soldiers in sight. The army

-fell back about one mile and a half, filling the woods and the road

-leading to Banks’ ford. Here it took a strong position and threw up a

-line of works and remained until May 6th, when, after being on arms

-all night, it marched at 6 A. M., crossed the river at Banks’ ford, and

-camped for the night.

-

-During the three days’ fight the Twenty-ninth regiment lost quite

-heavily; the killed were four, wounded forty-two, and prisoners

-twenty-five.

-

-In this action the rebel loss was officially reported in killed,

-wounded, and missing, as upward of 10,000 men, while the Union loss was

-about the same. The rebel loss in killed and wounded was greater than

-ours, in addition to which they lost one of their ablest generals.

-

-May 7th, marched at 6:30 A. M. It rained hard all day. We passed

-Hartwood church, Staffordshire, and went into camp near Aqua creek, and

-here it remained until June 3d, when the regiment moved to the south

-about one mile, and engaged in the construction of two small forts.

-

-Early on the morning of June 13th, we received orders to march. Tents

-were struck, but it was not until late in the afternoon that we moved,

-and then marched during the whole night, reaching Dumfries after

-daylight on the morning of the 14th.

-

-15th, march at 4 A. M. Halted on the north bank of the Occoquan creek

-for dinner. Resuming the march in the afternoon we passed Fairfax

-station and Court House on the road leading to Leesburg (marched

-twenty-five miles). This was a march of much suffering to the men,

-several of whom died during the day from sunstrokes.

-

-16th. Remained in camp all day.

-

-17th. March in the direction of Leesburg. Halted at 12 M., and camped

-for the night.

-

-June 18th. Marched to near Leesburg and went into camp. _Oh! How it

-rains!_

-

-19th. Remained in camp cleaning up guns and equipage, and all is

-quiet. In the afternoon the Twelfth army corps were ordered out to

-witness the shooting of three deserters from the First division of the

-Twelfth army corps. Following are the names: William McKee, company A,

-Forty-sixth Pennsylvania; Christopher Krumbart, company A, Forty-sixth

-Pennsylvania; and William Grover, company B, Thirteenth New Jersey.

-Lieutenant-colonel Clark left us here badly broken down in health.

-

-Sunday, June 20th. In camp cleaning up for inspection. 21st and 22d in

-camp. 23d, 24th and 25th, Captain Schoonover, in charge of one hundred

-and twenty men from the brigade, felling timber, uncovering Ball’s

-Bluff in front of Fort Beauregard.

-

-26th. The regiment left Leesburg, crossing the Potomac at Edward’s

-Ferry, passed Poolsville, and encamped for the night at Monocacy

-aqueduct.

-

-27th. Moved at 4:30 A. M. by way of Point of Rocks, Petersville and

-Parkersburg, and camped for the night five miles from Harper’s Ferry.

-

-28th. Moved in the forenoon, passing through Harper’s Ferry, then up

-the tow path of the Baltimore & Ohio canal to Clear Springs, where the

-Twenty-ninth passed under the canal through a culvert, and moving in

-the direction of Frederick City, Maryland, went into camp.

-

-29th. Moved through Frederick City in the direction of Pennsylvania,

-and went into camp. General Hooker was relieved from command of the

-Army of the Potomac, and General George G. Mead placed in command.

-

-30th. Moved north into Pennsylvania, and late in the afternoon reached

-Littlestown, where we had a skirmish with the advance guard of the

-rebel Lee, which falling back toward Gettysburg, we moved north of

-town; mustered for pay and went into camp for the night.

-

-

-

-

-CHAPTER IX.

-

-Gettysburg.

-

-1863.

-

-

-July 1, 1863, the Twenty-ninth regiment, under command of Captain

-Edward Hayes, marched at 6:30 A. M., passed through Littletown and on

-towards Gettysburg. After moving some five miles, we halted, and while

-preparing for dinner, first heard the distant artillery firing which

-seemed to be many miles away.

-

-While resting, troops were passing to the front. Meanwhile some of

-Company H had advanced to an eminence, from which they soon returned,

-reporting that the cannonading was not far off, as they could plainly

-see the shells as they burst above the timber. We were soon on the

-march, halting occasionally to breathe, as it was excessively hot

-and dusty. When about two miles from Gettysburg, we met ambulances

-returning with the wounded of the First and Eleventh corps, which

-had been engaged. Advancing a short distance, we found still further

-evidence of the fight in the bodies of those who had been killed

-in battle, and left beside the road. Late in the afternoon the

-Twenty-ninth reached the Union lines near Seminary Hill, and here

-batteries were in position. The troops were moving, and the rapid

-forming of lines gave evidence that a _battle_ was _nigh_.

-

-The Twenty-ninth regiment filed to the left of the pike, and advancing

-about forty rods, took a position in a wheat field, in line of battle,

-and here remained on arms during the night.

-

-During the day (July 1st) the First corps, commanded by General J. F.

-Reynolds, had a sharp fight, in which Reynolds was killed. The Eleventh

-corps (Howard’s) was also engaged. Late in the afternoon the Nationals

-were pressed back, and took a strong position a short distance from

-Gettysburg, on Seminary Ridge, which ended the battle for that day.

-

-During the night we could hear the moving of confederate troops and

-artillery in our front, while at the same time the Nationals were

-coming onto the field, so that in the morning of July 2d, the open

-field and woods presented a solid mass of troops, artillery and supply

-trains.

-

-About 8 o’clock A. M., July 2d, the Twenty-ninth regiment moved back to

-the pike, and moved with the division to a position in the timber on a

-hill, near the right of the line. Here breastworks were thrown up, and

-skirmishing was almost continuous along the line during the forenoon,

-and until about 3 o’clock P. M., when the struggle was renewed on the

-left, and gradually extended to the center. About 6 o’clock P. M., there

-was a lull on the left, and the fight raged with renewed vigor on the

-extreme right and center, with Howard’s Eleventh and Slocum’s Twelfth

-corps. Late in the evening the Twenty-ninth, with the brigade, withdrew

-from the works, and moved back about three-fourths of a mile, where it

-remained during the forepart of the night, moving back and forth, and

-constantly skirmishing. The entire army appeared to be in motion the

-greater part of the night.

-

-July 3, 1863, at the dawn of day, the Twenty-ninth, with the brigade,

-moved back to, and took position in the works left the night before,

-and about 4 o’clock A. M. the conflict was renewed.

-

-The rebels who had possession of our works were quickly driven back,

-and, fifteen minutes after the first gun was fired, the engagement

-became general along the entire line, and for six hours the musketry

-was one continued roll, interspersed at intervals by the crash of the

-artillery. The Twenty-ninth remained in the works except when allowed

-to retire to secure ammunition, clean pieces, etc. While thus securing

-ammunition the rebels charged the line on our right, gained possession

-of the works, and were advancing in force, when that gallant officer,

-Colonel Hayes, ordered the Twenty-ninth to fall in, fix bayonets, and

-advance to the charge of the rebels in the rifle pits and advancing on

-our right. The regiment made a half wheel to the right and advanced

-double-quick, when the rebels gave way. An eastern shore regiment took

-position next on our right, holding the rebels in check. A battery

-was immediately placed in position, a few rounds from which sent the

-Confederates to the rear, leaving their dead and wounded thick about

-our line of works.

-

-The Confederates in our front were Ewell’s corps, including our

-old acquaintance, Stonewall Jackson’s brigade, which fought with

-desperation. The rattle of the musketry, which extended from the

-extreme right to the left center of our line, had now become

-continuous, and about 1 o’clock P. M. General Lee opened a furious fire

-upon our lines from over one hundred and fifty pieces of artillery,

-to which more than one hundred National guns quickly responded; some

-sixty thousand small arms were heard amidst the roar of artillery. This

-unearthly din continued until late in the afternoon, when the firing

-ceased except at intervals, and this continued during the entire night.

-

-Brevet Captain George Hayward, of company E, promoted for gallant

-conduct at Chancellorsville, was killed in this fight. He was daring

-almost to rashness, always at the front, unmindful of danger, while his

-tender solicitude for his men endeared him to all who knew him, and his

-death was sincerely regretted. The rebel who killed him was concealed

-in the crevice of the rock not more than twenty paces from our line.

-Upon again exposing his person not less than one hundred rifles were

-discharged at him; he sprang backward, a shrill cry rang out upon the

-air, and brave Hayward’s death was avenged.

-

-A little further down the hill lay the dead body of Major Light,

-assistant adjutant-general on Ewell’s staff, who had perished in the

-morning assault.

-

-Early on the morning of July 4th the Twenty-ninth regiment advanced in

-reconnoissance over the battlefield, and for the first time gained a

-full knowledge of the fearful loss of life the rebels had sustained,

-full five thousand of whom had answered to their last roll-call. Still

-the mystery exists how any rebels escaped, as each soldier of the Union

-army had, in the seven hours’ fight, fired two hundred and fifty rounds

-of ammunition, sufficient to have annihilated the entire Southern army.

-

-We moved forward to the base of Culp’s hill, and thence left, to the

-creek near Cemetery hill, on the opposite bank of which were posted

-the gray-coated pickets of the enemy. Rebel troops were moving through

-the town, while a force was fortified on Seminary ridge. Pickets were

-thrown out to observe their movements and we retired to the main line.

-

-During the day nearly five thousand stand of rebel arms were collected

-from the field, in front of Geary’s division alone. Our fallen comrades

-were tenderly, though rudely, transferred to the kindly embrace of

-mother earth, while the wounded were collected at convenient points to

-receive the necessary treatment.

-

-Whoever has followed the phases of the battle of Gettysburg must have

-been expressed with the stubborn valor displayed on both sides by the

-common soldiers. The dauntless resolution exhibited in the attacks

-made it a terribly bloody and destructive conflict, and the unyielding

-and resolute front of the defence brought victory. But there was no

-possibility of achieving on either side such sweeping and complete

-triumphs as are recorded of wars in other countries and in other days,

-in a contest between two armies where the common soldiers were of such

-a temper and in such earnest as were these. It is a sad spectacle to

-see the manhood of two claiming to be Christian peoples thus march out

-to a field, like trained pugilists, and beat, and gouge, and pummel

-each other until one or the other from exhaustion must yield. It is

-revolting and sickening, and it is hoped that the day will come when

-disputes arising among nations may be settled by compromise, as two

-reasonable and upright men would decide a difference, governed by the

-golden rule, instead of resorting to blows where right and justice must

-be subordinate to brute force. But in a great battle like that which

-we have been considering it is not the soldiers themselves who are

-responsible, but the parties who make the quarrel. Hence, while the

-mind revolts at the scenes of destruction which the field discloses,

-the immediate actors are not to be held accountable. They go in

-obedience to the dictates of duty and of patriotism, and while they

-may indulge no personal hatred toward those who for the time they call

-enemies, they must in battle inflict the greatest possible injury upon

-them. In all ages the highest honors have been reserved for those who

-have fought the battles of their country--and this is right. For if

-there is any deed in the power of a mortal which can sway the feelings

-or soften the heart it is that of one man laying down his life for

-another. The breast heaves and the eye is suffused with tears at the

-spectacle of Pythias putting his life in jeopardy only for his friend.

-There is a halo of glory hovering about the profession of arms. It has

-its seat in the sacrifice of self, which is its ruling spirit.

-

-The man who stands upon the field of battle and faces the storm of

-death that sweeps along, whether he merely puts his life thus in

-jeopardy or is actually carried down in death, torn and mangled in

-the dread fight, is worthy of endless honors, and though we class the

-deed with the lowest of human acts, prompted by a hardihood which we

-share with the brutes, and in which the most ignorant and besotted may

-compete with the loftiest, yet it is an act before which humanity will

-ever bow and uncover. Who that walked that field of carnage and beheld

-the maimed and mangled, and him cold in death, could withhold the

-tribute of honor and respect? For, could he make that dying soldier’s

-lot his own, or that of his nearest and dearest friend, he would only

-then justly realize the sacrifice. Our casualties in the fight were:

-Killed, nine; wounded, thirty-five; missing, one. Total, forty-five.

-CHAPTER X.

-

-Return to Washington--Embark for New York--Return--Transferred to the

-Western Army.

-

-

-The pursuit of the retreating enemy was commenced by the Twelfth

-army corps at 1 o’clock P. M., on July 5th. At night we encamped at

-Littletown, Pennsylvania, and on the following morning moved by the

-way of Frederick to Antietam creek. On the 7th instant we marched

-through Frederick, filed to the right, and passed by a rebel spy

-that was hanging to a limb of a tree. We moved a short distance, and

-halted, where we remained all night. On the 8th we marched over the

-mountains in the direction of Sharpsburg. On the 9th we passed over the

-battlefield, and camped near Fairplay, Maryland. On the 10th we moved

-through the town, and camped for the night near Falling waters. On the

-following day we advanced to Fairplay, a small town to the south of

-St. James’ college, and the Twenty-ninth regiment, with its customary

-good (?) fortune, was thrown out as skirmishers, and during the day

-exchanged frequent shots with the enemy’s cavalry, and at night resting

-in position on the extreme front.

-

-During the night rebel cavalry approached very near our line, but our

-orders were positive not to fire unless attacked. On the following

-morning we were relieved and retired to the main line, where we assumed

-position as support to Knapp’s battery, which was hotly engaged at

-intervals during the day.

-

-On the morning of the 13th instant we rejoined our brigade,

-anticipating an attack. Riflepits were thrown up and due preparation

-made. The enemy are strongly fortified between St. James’ college and

-Williamsport, some two miles distant, and on the 14th he was reported

-as falling back across the Potomac. Heavy cannonading is heard towards

-the river, and the First division of General Williams advances in

-reconnoissance, the Second acting as support. A dispatch states that

-Lee’s army, in full retreat, began crossing the river yesterday,

-continued through the night and to-day. Our troops are hotly engaged

-with his rear guard, and we remain in position until the morning of the

-18th, when we move briskly forward in pursuit of the fleeing chivalry,

-who were now across the Potomac in Virginia. We marched via Sharpsburg

-and Antietam.

-

-While passing through the woods three men were shot by Mosby’s cavalry.

-A march of sixteen miles and we halt within three miles of Harper’s

-Ferry. At Sandy Hook we remain until the morning of the 19th instant,

-when we move forward via Harper’s Ferry, to Hillsboro, Virginia.

-

-On the following morning we are early on the move, advancing as far

-as Snickersville, near the gap of that name, where pickets are thrown

-out and we bivouac for the night. We remain here for two days, during

-which time we muster and pass in review. Colonel W. T. Fitch recently

-promoted, and who has been absent on leave since March 28th, joined us

-here, and assumed command.

-

-On the morning of the 23d we again moved forward, passing through

-Upperville and on to Ashby’s gap, where, at a late hour, we go into

-camp. Having marched thirty miles since morning sleep was sweet that

-night, with mother earth for a bed, and only heaven’s blue canopy

-for a cover. At 3 o’clock on the morning of the 24th we march rapidly

-forward through the villages of Markham and Linden, halting for dinner

-at Manassas gap, then forward, changing direction by column to the

-south-southeast, in the direction of White Plains. Marching sixteen

-miles we halted for the night.

-

-The next day we marched to White Plains, and the next by the way of

-Thoroughfare gap, Haymarket, and Greenwich, the latter a pretty little

-village, settled by English people, for whose protection guards were

-stationed, as they were in fact in many instances for the protection

-of rebel property. After a brief halt we marched forward via Catlett’s

-station and Warrenton, where we joined the First and Eleventh corps of

-our army and encamped for the night, then forward again to Kelley’s

-Ford, on the Rappahannock, when, after a short visit, the brigade took

-cars for Alexandria, Virginia, under orders for New York city, to quell

-the memorable draft riots induced by the Southern sympathizers and

-copperheads.

-

-On August 23d we embarked on the steamer Baltic and moved down the

-Potomac. When near its outlet we went fast aground. This action

-occurred about noon on the 24th, and three days elapsed before we were

-again on the move. On the 28th, at 9:45 A. M., we round Cape Henry and

-strike the swells of the Atlantic. A rough sea soon sends many of the

-command to the rail to--well, if the reader was ever seasick he will

-appreciate the situation. It is not pleasant to linger long upon this

-scene; the recollection of it, even now, almost destroys one’s interest

-in sublunary affairs.

-

-On the 29th we pass the narrows and enter New York harbor, coming to

-anchor near Governor’s Island at 12 o’clock M.

-

-From our anchorage the view was grandly beautiful with the immense

-shipping, Brooklyn on the right, New York to the front, and Jersey City

-on the left. On the left of Governor’s Island Castle William (now used

-as a magazine) stands out in bold relief. To its right is the fort

-which protects the harbor. On September 1st we disembarked and went

-into camp on the island. The men are in fine spirits and delighted with

-the change.

-

-The troubles in the city having subsided we re-embarked aboard the

-Baltic, which, on the 8th day of September, heads towards the sea.

-When passing the narrows the guns of the fort thunder a salute; soon

-Sandy Hook is passed and we are again in the open sea, all happy at

-the prospect of going to the front, the inactivity of camp life with

-nothing to do having become tiresome in the extreme.

-

-On September 10th we came to anchor in Chesapeake Bay, where we

-remained one day, then passed on again to Alexandria, disembarked, and

-went into camp to the south of the town. Two days later and we again

-move forward to Elk creek, where we encamp for the night.

-

-September 16th, marched at 6 A. M., reached the Rappahannock at noon,

-and here rejoined our old brigade, moved forward to Raccoon ford on

-the north side of the Rapidan. General Lee’s forces are massed on the

-opposite shore of the river, and as we came up our ears were greeted

-with the pleasing sound of rapid musketry firing proceeding from the

-pickets of the two armies. During the afternoon we witnessed the

-execution of two deserters from the Seventy-eighth New York.

-

-During the last of September we learned of the defeat of the Western

-army at Chickamauga, and the Twelfth corps was at once transferred

-to the Department of the West, and without delay proceeded by rail

-to Washington, and thence via Wheeling, Columbus, Indianapolis,

-Nashville, to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where we arrived October 5th.

-

-After a few days’ rest the regiment again resume the march, passing

-Duck river, Bell Buckle, and Wartrace, when the Seventh Ohio halted,

-while the Twenty-ninth moved on to Normandy, on the Nashville &

-Chattanooga railroad. Here it remained in camp, with the usual routine

-of camp and picket duty until late in October, when the regiment and

-brigade broke camp, took the cars for Bridgeport, Alabama, where it

-arrived on the 27th, disembarked, and camped for the night. On the

-morning of October 28th the Twenty-ninth regiment crossed the Tennessee

-river with the wagon train. Halting at Shellmound for dinner, marched

-until late in the evening, and halted near White Sides, where all

-camped for the night. About 11 o’clock P. M. artillery firing, with

-heavy volleys of musketry, was heard in the direction of Chattanooga,

-continuing two or three hours.

-

-

-

-CHAPTER XI.

-

-Murfreesboro--General Greene--The Mule Brigade--Congratulatory.

-

-

-While at Murfreesboro scouts reported that Wheeler’s cavalry was in

-the vicinity, and the Second division (Geary’s) was pushed forward to

-meet it, the First division remaining to guard the post and railway

-communication. Geary moved forward in the direction of Bridgeport,

-encountering Wheeler’s force near the line of the railway. A brief but

-sharp skirmish ensued, which resulted in the repulse and hasty retreat

-of the rebels. We then advanced without delay to Bridgeport. October

-27th the Second division, Geary commanding, with Creighton and Greene

-in command of the First and Second brigades, crossed the Tennessee, the

-object to open communication on the south side of the river by way of

-Wauhatchie valley and Lookout mountain for the relief of General Thomas

-at Chattanooga.

-

-Brigadier-general Greene, with three regiments of infantry and four

-pieces of Knapp’s battery, numbering about fifteen hundred men, with

-a wagon train of provisions, was sent to the relief of the famishing

-army at Chattanooga, the balance of our command following as fast as

-practicable with the immense supply train in charge. After we had

-encamped for the night the signal corps of General Greene informed

-us that his command had encamped at Wauhatchie, within six miles of

-Chattanooga. The knoll occupied by them derived its name from an Indian

-battle fought there years before. It is situated in the valley not far

-from the base of Lookout mountain. Knapp’s guns were placed in position

-facing Lookout, and pickets stationed perhaps fifty yards to the front.

-

-About midnight General Hood’s division came down from the heights of

-Lookout and quietly surrounded General Greene’s small force, and at

-once commenced an attack. Greene’s men, aroused from their slumber,

-hastily formed line under a most deadly fire from all sides, and one

-of the most desperate struggles on record ensued. We were awakened by

-the sound of the distant combat, and forming into line hastily advanced

-to their rescue. When we arrived Hood’s rebels had been routed and

-were flying in all directions, intent only on reaching their mountain

-stronghold. There was a regular stampede of the mules, which had broken

-loose and were braying furiously. This, with loud shouts from our men,

-must have induced a belief in the valorous rebel horde that a large

-force of cavalry was charging down upon them, and their fears and

-flight was indeed a grand burlesque finale to a terrible tragedy.

-

-General Greene had lost one-third of his force, killed and wounded,

-his ammunition was exhausted, and ordering the mules cut loose, he

-made a desperate bayonet charge to cut his way to freedom. The mules

-providentially moved in the same direction, mingling the thunder of

-their tread and their awful voices with the shouts of Greene’s men, and

-our own, to let them know that assistance was coming. The effect was to

-throw Hood’s rebel army into a wild panic and put them to rout. Three

-hundred prisoners and about one thousand stand of arms were captured.

-Every man of Knapp’s battery, save one only, was either killed or

-wounded. Among the former was Lieutenant Geary, son of General John W.

-Geary. The ground was covered with the dead and injured of both the

-blue and the gray.

-

-While assisting the wounded and burying the dead, Generals Grant,

-Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective staffs, arrived from

-Chattanooga. The former coolly remarked as he surveyed the bloody

-scene: “Well, boys, you must have had a hot time of it, judging from

-appearances.” There was silence among the men, who knew that an army

-was cosily reposing but four miles away, which could easily have

-averted the terrible bloodshed, but were so completely disheartened

-by the defeat at Chickamauga that they dare not venture from their

-stronghold to the relief of gallant “Corporal” Greene, who happily

-turned defeat into a heroic victory.

-

-The following lines, composed by one of our command, fully relates the

-grand finale and

-

-

-CHARGE OF THE MULE BRIGADE.

-

-  Half a mile, half a mile,

-  Half a mile onward,

-  Right towards the Georgia troops

-    Broke the two hundred.

-  “Forward the Mule Brigade,

-  Charge for the rebs!” they neighed;

-  Straight for the Georgia troops

-    Broke the two hundred.

-

-  “Forward the Mule Brigade!”

-  Was there a mule dismayed?

-  Not when the long ears felt

-    All their ropes sundered.

-  Theirs not to make reply;

-  Theirs not to reason why;

-  Theirs but to make them fly;

-  On to the Georgia troops

-    Broke the two hundred.

-

-  Mules to the right of them,

-  Mules to the left of them,

-  Mules behind them

-    Pawed, neighed, and thundered.

-  Breaking their own confines,

-  Breaking through Longstreet’s lines,

-  Into the Georgia troops

-    Stormed the two hundred.

-

-  Wild all their eyes did glare,

-  Whisked all their tails in air,

-  Scatt’ring the chivalry there,

-    While all the world wondered.

-  Not a mule’s back bestraddled,

-  Yet how they all skedaddled;

-  Fled every Georgian

-  Unsabred, unsaddled,

-  Scattered and sundered.

-  How they were routed there

-    By the two hundred.

-

-  Mules to the right of them,

-  Mules to the left of them.

-  Mules behind them

-    Pawed, neighed, and thundered;

-  Followed by hoof and head

-  Full many a hero fled,

-  Fain in the last ditch dead;

-  Back from an “ass’s jaw,”

-  All that was left of them--

-    Left by the two hundred.

-

-  When can their glory fade?

-  Oh! the wild charge they made!

-    All the world wondered.

-  Honor the charge they made,

-  Honor the Mule Brigade--

-    Long-eared two hundred.

-

-Major-general George H. Thomas issued an order complimenting the column

-under Major-general Hooker, which took possession of the line from

-Bridgeport to the foot of Lookout Mountain, for their brilliant success

-in driving the enemy from every position which they attacked. The

-repulse by General Geary’s command of the greatly superior numbers who

-attempted to surprise him, will rank among the most distinguished feats

-of arms of the war.

-

-We moved forward the next evening, and threw up a line of works on the

-site of this night attack.

-

-

-

-

-CHAPTER XII.

-

-Lookout Mountain--The Battle--The Regiment Re-enlist.

-

-

-The line of General Geary’s division now extends along the foot of

-Lookout mountain, parallel with the rebel line, and only separated from

-it by the creek along its base. For nearly ten days the commissary

-stores intended for us have been largely forwarded to Chattanooga,

-leaving us with scarcely anything to eat. When on the skirmish line

-we often sent our reserves around to the right of the mountain to

-secure corn from a field in that location, held by the rebels, and

-quite lively little fights would result. Our boys always returned with

-corn, however, which we parched to allay in part the bitter pangs of

-hunger. As with everything earthly our long fast ended, rations came,

-and life began to seem almost worth living, exchanges of coffee and

-tobacco were almost hourly made between the Union and rebel soldiers,

-each forgetting for the time the hate engendered over the fight for

-corn. Our main line was being strongly fortified, the rebels meanwhile

-keeping up an almost continuous bombardment of our line from their

-batteries on the heights of Lookout. Strong details were employed in

-cutting away the forest on our front to enable our artillery to cover

-an hourly expected attack. The situation remained the same until

-November 23d, when, toward night, the beat of the “long roll” called

-Geary’s division to arms. It at once moved promptly forward, formed

-line of battle, facing Lookout heights, and advanced to its base along

-the creek. Osterhaus’ division of the Fifteenth corps, and Whittaker’s

-brigade, of the Fourth corps, now advanced to the left of Geary’s

-division. The rebels soon discovered this movement and promptly moved

-a strong force down the mountain side within easy musket range, where

-they strongly fortified during the night.

-

-The morning of November 24th opened out a simultaneous discharge of

-our entire artillery, which was parked along the mountain’s point, the

-infantry on our left advancing to the base of the mountain. The First

-brigade, led by Colonel Creighton, and followed by the Second and

-Third brigades, moved rapidly up the creek to the right under cover

-of the woods, then debouching to the left. The First brigade took

-the advance and began the ascent of Lookout heights, being favored

-by a friendly ravine extending toward the crest of the mountain. The

-brigade had advanced perhaps two-thirds of the distance before the

-enemy discovered its movements, and now the men renew their efforts,

-driving the enemy before them despite the terrible fire poured into

-our advance, and after a desperate struggle reach the rocky crest and

-disappear in a thick mist (referred to by most writers, we believe,

-as clouds, and which gave this engagement the title of the “battle

-above the clouds”). The line of the whole division is extended, and in

-a moment sweeps down in an impetuous charge on both the rebel flank

-and rear. Their batteries are reached, the cannoniers beaten back,

-and the guns captured. Onward, upward, with loud cheers our columns

-rush to victory, carrying everything before them. A whole brigade is

-captured, and Lookout mountain, since famous in song and story, is

-ours. This victory was won by Geary’s men, assisted only by Whittaker’s

-brigade acting as support. The troops below now came gallantly(?) up

-the mountain to claim, as usual, the honors won, as the voluminous

-reports subsequently written by their generals amply attest. Geary

-and his brigade commanders had no reports to make save that their

-division stormed the heights and carried them, capturing the enemy’s

-artillery and the entire rebel force occupying the main defenses of the

-mountain. Some time after the capture the standard of the “white star”

-division was planted on the crest and the stars and stripes was soon

-waving beside it. No danger was incurred by this, as none of the enemy

-remained except the prisoners, yet it has been written and rewritten as

-if it were an event of some importance.

-

-“The morning of November 25th revealed the white star standard of Geary

-and the glorious old stars and stripes to the army below, floating

-triumphantly side by side on Lookout’s rocky crest. Prolonged huzzas

-greeted the victors from below, and to confirm that ‘to the victors

-belong the spoils,’ a detachment from two regiments of Geary’s command

-take charge of the prisoners, seven stand of colors, and a great number

-of cannon captured.”

-

-The rebels had burned the bridge across Lookout creek, which delayed

-our further advance a short time. A bridge was soon improvised,

-however, and a crossing was effected. The command moved on to

-Rossville, where it engaged Braggs’ left, while General Thomas,

-advancing from Chattanooga valley, moved up Missionary ridge, striking

-Bragg a crushing blow in the center, and Pap Sherman was making it warm

-for his right flank. About 2 o’clock P. M. the firing became general

-along the entire line, which continued until late in the afternoon,

-when the rebels were driven from the field with great loss. The Union

-army advanced a short distance and bivouacked for the night.

-

-November 26, we moved on after the retreating army, and at a small

-creek near Greysville, Georgia, had a skirmish, driving the enemy as

-far as Ringgold and Taylor’s ridge, where they were in position behind

-breastwork in the narrow pass extending through the ridge in the

-direction of Dalton.

-

-27th. Geary’s division made a gallant charge upon the rebel works.

-The First brigade, commanded by Colonel William R. Creighton, made a

-direct assault on Taylor’s ridge, while the Second and Third brigades

-engaged the rebels in the narrow defile. After a terrible struggle

-the Nationals were forced back a short distance. A battery was moved

-forward and placed in position, which opened with double shotted guns

-upon the enemy, soon driving them precipitately to the rear, leaving

-the Nationals in possession of the field. In this engagement the Union

-loss was quite heavy.

-

-On the 28th the army moved back, Geary’s division reaching Wauhatchie

-valley on the 29th. Resting a few days, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio

-regiment broke camp and on December 3d moved across Lookout creek,

-marched about two miles west of Summerville, on Lookout mountain,

-where it camped for the night. Returned to its old camp at Wauhatchie,

-Tennessee, on the 5th day of December, and the campaign of 1863 ended.

-

-At Wauhatchie, on the 10th day of December, 1863, the Twenty-ninth

-Ohio, though now reduced to less than three hundred effective men for

-duty, almost to a man re-enlisted for three years more, should the

-war so long continue, and were given a thirty-days’ furlough home

-for the purpose of recruiting. The headquarters of the regiment was

-established at Cleveland, Ohio. It remained here some two months. At

-last the decimated ranks were filled and, on the morning of February

-8, 1864, the regiment bade a second good bye to friends, and amidst

-their prayers for success and a safe return departed for the front,

-determined to die for the flag if necessary, and, after a tedious ride

-of many weary miles arrived at Bridgeport, Alabama, via Louisville,

-Nashville, and Murfreesboro, where it went into winter quarters and

-remained until the opening of the spring campaign of 1864.

-

-

-

-

-CHAPTER XIII.

-

-Shelmound--Wauhatchie Valley--Ringgold--Battle of Dug or Mill Creek Gap

-or Buzzard’s Roost--On the Move.

-

-

-On the morning of May 3, 1864, at 10 o’clock, we broke camp, crossed

-the Tennessee river, and moved eastward along its south bank to

-Shelmound, where we encamped for the night. On the following day the

-march was resumed, the column halting for dinner in Wauhatchie valley.

-Crossing Lookout Creek and mountain, we encamped for the night on its

-east side and two miles distant from Chattanooga. The column resumed

-its line of march at 7 A. M., on the 5th. Moving cautiously during the

-day, in the advance, it halted for the night a short distance west

-of Ringgold, Georgia. At daybreak on the following morning we moved

-forward, and about 9 o’clock formed line of battle, remaining here

-during the day and subsequent night. The beat of the “long roll” on the

-following morning called us to arms, and we immediately advanced in

-line of battle. When near Gordon’s Springs General Kilpatrick passed

-to our right with his command. Our column came to a halt for the night

-near Tunnel hill.

-

-At about 11 A. M., on May 8th, we pushed forward in order of columns

-right in front, and at 3 o’clock arrived in front of John’s Mountain at

-Rocky Face Ridge, on the summit of which the enemy were entrenched in

-force. The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania

-of the First brigade, Colonel Candy commanding, with three regiments

-of Buschbeck’s Second brigade, formed in line, the latter on the

-right, and in this order at once moved forward to storm the ridge.

-The position of the Twenty-ninth regiment in the assaulting column

-was on the extreme left, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania next on its

-right, connecting with the Second brigade. Our instructions were to

-make a strong demonstration, and to carry, if possible, the rebel

-position. While advancing to the assault, the brass bands in our

-rear indiscreetly commenced playing National airs, which attracted

-the attention of the rebel commander, who rapidly concentrated

-reinforcements in our front. The advance up the declivity was nearly

-as difficult as Lookout Mountain, and more completely fortified. Its

-summit was steep, precipitous, and covered with scraggy rocks and

-immense boulders. From our position we commanded a fine view of Dug

-Gap, a narrow, artificial cut through the rocky summit, connecting with

-a road extending almost parallel with the ridge to the gap beyond,

-and by a zigzag course reaching the mountain’s base. The rebels had

-so completely fortified themselves that it was next to impossible for

-our assaulting force to get nearer than their base. As we approached

-the rebel line, a regiment was moved by left flank across our front.

-At this moment the rebel line opened a fire so deadly in effect that

-the regiment in our front became disordered and broke through our

-ranks to the rear, causing a momentary confusion in the ranks of the

-Twenty-ninth regiment. At this moment the order was given to advance,

-which was executed with a rush despite the deadly volleys that were

-cutting through our ranks. Up! up! we go to death or victory! and

-commenced to scale the obstructions close to their works; and now a

-storm of deadly missiles are hurled against us. Rocks, boulders, and

-even cart-wheels come crashing down upon us. Yet we moved steadily in

-the deadly advance until ordered back by our officers, when we retired

-a few paces to reform our line, the fallen trees only separating us

-from the enemy.

-

-Here we made a determined and bloody fight, but having no support to

-cover our flank we were subjected to a deadly cross-fire from the

-left, yet the regiment stubbornly stood its ground, returning shot for

-shot until its ammunition was exhausted. More was secured from the

-cartridge-boxes of the dead and wounded, and with this we fought on,

-determined to hold the position until reinforcements should reach us.

-Just before dusk an order came from the commanding general for the

-Twenty-ninth regiment to retire, all the other regiments having done

-so some time previous. To cover our retreat a line of skirmishers was

-thrown out, composed of men from each company who volunteered for this

-dangerous duty, and right nobly did they perform this work, firing with

-deadly precision as they retired from the field into the valley below,

-where the Twenty-ninth were already in bivouac, and comrades cheered

-lustily as the skirmishers came in, happy to know they had not met the

-fate of others.

-

-John Davis, of company B, a Scotchman by birth and one of the best

-shots in the regiment, fired the last shot in this day’s action, and

-was the last to leave the field.

-

-The Twenty-ninth regiment in this fight distinguished itself by brave

-conduct, though at last compelled to retire from lack of support. Our

-losses in killed and wounded was more than double that of any other

-regiment engaged: Killed, 26; wounded, 67; captured 1; total 94.

-

-General Geary highly complimented the regiment for its gallantry,

-remarking that he never saw men advance under such murderous fire,

-especially when unsupported and where the chances of success were so

-desperate. The Twenty-ninth regiment lost nearly one-third its numbers

-during this three hours’ engagement, and many were the individual

-acts of heroism displayed, which it would give the writer pleasure to

-record. As but few are now remembered, the remainder would suffer an

-injustice were these given. It is, however, but simple justice to state

-that the regiment fully sustained its previous reputation as a fighting

-organization, each individual doing his full share in the terrible

-work. Subsequent events proved that this assault was made to draw the

-enemy to this point, thus giving McPherson’s corps and Kilpatrick’s

-cavalry an opportunity to possess Snake Creek Gap, a desirable

-situation several miles in our right rear, opening a flank movement

-directly on the enemy’s rear.

-

-On May 9th we encamp at Mill Creek, near Johns Mountain, where we

-remain until 12 o’clock, midnight. We then move to the right and throw

-up earthworks. May 10th we are still at work. We receive the news

-of General Grant’s victory over General Lee at the Wilderness, near

-Chancellorsville, Virginia, where our regiment received such a baptism

-of blood a little more than a year since. Alas! how many of our brave

-boys have gone down to death since then.

-

-May 11th. Still in the same position, hourly expecting orders to move;

-quartermasters remove all extra baggage to the rear; all men unable

-for active service sent to hospital, and everything possible put into

-perfect fighting order, and by the way it’s ever so much nicer penning

-these lines here in our cosy room in the far away Western Reserve of

-the Buckeye State than was the actual experience in Secessia during

-those early May days of 1864.

-

-On the 12th instant we moved forward to Snake Creek Gap, forming a

-junction with the Fifteenth and Sixteenth corps (McPherson’s), where we

-remained during the night. At 2 o’clock P. M. on the following day we

-advanced toward Resaca, fully occupying Snake Creek Gap. Our cavalry

-are sharply engaged with the enemy. Here brave General Kilpatrick is

-wounded. At 4 o’clock P. M. the battle is still raging fiercely, and the

-enemy are being slowly driven back. At last a hill is captured which

-covers the entire rebel line. Here we fortify and rest for the night.

-

-May 14th a severe engagement opens near Resaca; we advance by a

-circuitous route to the left; the Fourteenth corps is engaged; during

-the afternoon we joined our Twentieth corps and moving rapidly to

-the left; succeeded in rescuing a portion of the Fourth corps from

-disaster and defeat, and one of its batteries from certain capture,

-the infantry support having been driven back, leaving the battery at

-the mercy of the rebels. Robinson’s brigade, of Williams’ division,

-Twentieth corps, who were in the advance, fortunately reached the

-scene of action in time to prevent the capture of another battery by

-making a counter-charge on the advancing rebel legions. We came up soon

-after this support, which soon ended in the complete repulse of the

-rebels, driving them beyond their fortifications. The Twentieth army

-corps received the compliments of the commanding general, Hooker, for

-their gallant work, which resulted in a loss to the enemy of some four

-hundred men killed and wounded.

-CHAPTER XIV.

-

-Battle of Resaca, Georgia--In Pursuit of the Fleeing Chivalry (?)

-

-

-At an early hour on the morning of May 15th sharp skirmishing opened

-along our entire front. General Geary’s Second division moved a short

-distance to the left and halted for orders. About 11 o’clock Generals

-Sherman, Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective staffs, reached the

-battlefield and immediately held a council of war. General Hooker is

-requested to assume command of selected troops to take the offensive,

-and is asked how large a force he required to capture a certain fort

-directly in our front, known to be the enemy’s stronghold and the key

-to his position. Hooker astonished his superiors by replying: “Geary’s

-division can, I think, carry that position if it can be done by

-anyone.” As this conversation was heard by our men we were prepared for

-what was to follow.

-

-As soon as General Geary had received his instructions, the Second

-division moved to the attack in the following orders: Second and Third

-brigades in the advance, with the First brigade closely massed in their

-rear, the latter advancing closely in support of the attacking column.

-Our advance was met with obstinate resistance, yet we steadily pushed

-forward, driving the enemy back and gaining possession of three lines

-of hills in rapid succession, the last of which was in close proximity

-to the rebel fort, only a narrow ravine intervening. The enemy are

-strongly entrenched in earthworks extending in the rear of the fort.

-The First brigade commenced a rapid firing at short range to cover the

-sortie being made by regiments of the Second and Third brigades. These

-regiments rush gallantly forward to the assault. They are repulsed

-but quickly reform, and, with other regiments sent to their support,

-they again pass forward. The fort was captured and lost three times

-in succession, but at last the rebels are forced to flee before our

-furious charge. Leaving the guns they join the main line.

-

-The Union forces prevented the rebels from again occupying the fort

-until dark, when detachments from the Twenty-ninth and other Ohio

-regiments of the First brigade were sent to open a trench through the

-earthworks of the fort through which to move the guns into the ravine

-below. The rebels discovering this charged down upon us to recapture

-the guns. Expecting such an attack the First brigade had moved forward

-into the ravine, and now waited the coming of the rebels. When close

-upon them a signal was given, which was followed by a sheet of flame

-along our whole line, dealing terrible destruction into the rebel

-ranks, immediately followed by a determined bayonet charge, which threw

-their lines into disorder and they fled panic-stricken over their

-fortifications, closely pursued by our command, whose loud huzzas sent

-Johnston’s army in rapid retreat, abandoned all its cannon, hospital,

-and commissary stores, and with their usual savagery leaving their own

-dead and wounded upon the field. We also captured many prisoners.

-

-This success was a grand victory for the “white star” division of

-the Twentieth corps, yet not unattended with losses, which were,

-however, light in comparison with those of the enemy. In fact, in the

-night attack we had so thoroughly surprised the enemy that but feeble

-resistance was made.

-

-At an early hour on the morning of May 16th we pushed rapidly forward

-in pursuit of the retreating rebels. At 9 o’clock A. M. we came into

-line on the bank of the Coosa river, near the railroad bridge, which

-our cavalry had prevented the rebels from burning, though they had made

-repeated efforts to do so. The enemy’s flight was so rapid that he had

-not even time to seriously impair the railroad track. Our locomotives,

-with trains of supplies, soon came in sight. We now advanced across the

-river and encamped for the night.

-

-At 12 M. on May 17th, the general forward movement of our army was

-resumed. The Twenty-ninth regiment was the advance guard of its

-division, and assisted in driving the rebels from the little village

-of Calhoun, where we halt for the night. At 5 o’clock on the following

-morning we again moved forward in the direction of Rome, Georgia. At

-Rome cross-roads the rebels were met and promptly engaged by the Fourth

-corps; a lively fight ensued, resulting in slight losses on both sides.

-The enemy retreated, and we continued the pursuit until 9 o’clock P. M.,

-when we encamped for the night.

-

-On the next morning at early dawn we pushed forward, continuing until

-3 o’clock P. M., when we halt and form line near Kingston, Georgia.

-The whole force of the enemy are immediately on our front, and the

-Fourth corps promptly open fire upon them, which resulted in a further

-movement of the chivalry to the rear.

-

-We remain here until the morning of May 23d when we move about daylight

-via Cassville and Cass station to the Etowah river, which is crossed on

-pontoons, and a halt for the night made on its opposite bank. The next

-morning we resume the weary march, coming into line of battle at about

-9 A. M. We advanced in this order up the Raccoon hills, or Allatoona

-range, until night, when we encamp at Burnt Hickory. The First brigade,

-as advance guard, moved ahead at daybreak, via the Burnt Hickory road.

-

-CHAPTER XV.

-

-Pumpkin Vine Creek--Dallas, or New Hope Church--Slight

-Unpleasantness--Personal.

-

-

-At Pumpkin Vine creek we discover the enemy and drive back his

-skirmishers, who are stationed on its opposite bank, recovering the

-bridge, which we cross and throw out skirmishers on the opposite side.

-While this was being accomplished, General Hooker and Staff, with a

-small body guard, pushed ahead to reconnoiter. He had not advanced far,

-however, when he was attacked by a force of rebel sharp shooters. He

-now came tearing back into our lines shouting to General Geary to move

-his First brigade into position to hold the enemy in check until the

-Second and Third brigades should come up, they being some four miles

-in our rear. We quickly formed line by columns to the right and left,

-the Twenty-ninth Ohio occupying position on the extreme left, Knapp’s

-battery taking position immediately in our rear, to cover the bridge in

-case we were forced to retire before reinforcements should reach us. As

-the left company of the Twenty-ninth were completing the battle-line a

-rebel column was found marching in close proximity to our flank.

-

-Ten paces to the front the skirmishers were hotly engaged, but our

-flank was uncovered. We immediately face to the left and prepare to

-fire, but are prevented by instructions not to draw on a general

-engagement but to hold the position at all hazards. The rebel column on

-our flank, however, slowly retired without firing a gun, and forming

-on their main line, which was massed in the woods a short distance

-to our front. During this time we hastily changed front in form of a

-semi-circle to protect us from flank attack. This movement was executed

-none too soon, as the enemy came immediately to the attack, and a

-sharp engagement opened all along the line, which was a hot one, yet

-it gallantly held its own until the balance of its division came up.

-Forming in column with us, we advance on the rebel line and drive them

-slowly back.

-

-The battle now became fierce and our assaults were heroically met.

-Generals Hooker and Geary were present and ordered the attack, the

-plan of which was to advance lines and fire, to be followed by bayonet

-charges, by which the enemy was steadily driven back. Our front line

-was frequently relieved by columns from the rear, thus keeping fresh

-men at the front. Geary’s division alone had driven Hood’s rebel corps

-back to the forks of the road at New Hope church, when Butterfield’s

-Third division arrived and took position on our left. Soon after,

-Williams came up with the First division and passed to the front, which

-allowed the Second division to drop in the reserve long enough to clean

-our firearms and replenish cartridge-boxes, when we again advance in

-support of the First and Third divisions.

-

-Just as the sun disappeared in the western horizon, General Geary

-ordered the First brigade to charge the enemy. This movement was

-executed on the double-quick, and as our columns passed in perfect

-alignment to the front, Butterfield’s and Williams’ commands greeted

-us with hearty cheers of genuine admiration. Onward the column rushes,

-and closing with the enemy delivers a terrible volley. The charge is

-continued, the air resounding with defiant cheers as the enemy is

-driven from the field and down a hill at a brisk run. It was now

-beginning to grow dark, and the impetuous rush of the men soon brought

-them within a short distance of a line of brush-covered work which

-concealed the enemy’s batteries, who at once opened a terrific and

-deadly fire of grape and canister into our ranks. Instantly falling

-on the ground, we deliver so destructive a fire on their cannoniers

-that their guns are soon silenced. Our left being without support, an

-attempt to carry their works was extremely hazardous. The regiment on

-our right had already retired some distance to our right rear, making

-the situation of the Twenty-ninth regiment one of great danger, but

-owing to the darkness we knew nothing of it until an officer of Geary’s

-staff came forward with an order to fall back, when we retired to a

-position some forty paces from the rebel line.

-

-The enemy had now ceased firing, and perfect silence reigned, only

-broken by the groans of the wounded and dying. The Twenty-ninth

-regiment had suffered severe loss, and only the favorable depression in

-its front saved it from annihilation. W. F. Stevens, captain of company

-B, was wounded in this action.

-

-The Fifth Ohio, on our right on higher ground, suffered fearfully from

-the masked batteries, one company being almost entirely decimated. This

-caused the regiment to retire to the knoll. Colonel Patrick, a most

-gallant officer of the Fifth, was killed, also seventy-five of his men

-killed and wounded. The loss of the Twenty-ninth Ohio in this charge

-was forty killed and wounded, shot down in almost the short space of

-time required to record it.

-

-It was not long before we heard tremendous cheering in the distance on

-our right front, which was caused by Sherman moving a force in that

-direction, turning the rebel flank, which was soon in full retreat.

-Immediately after, sounds were heard in the supposed deserted rebel

-works, which we believed were our own men who had recently occupied

-them, and by reason of this supposed safety our whole command was soon

-in slumber deep and heavy from exhaustion of the day’s labor.

-

-At early dawn on May 26th the enemy discovered our close proximity,

-and at once opened upon us with artillery, and at about the same time

-advanced its infantry to attack us in our rear. This movement was

-discovered, however, in time to prevent its further progress. After

-a hot fight the enemy retired to his fortifications. During the day

-several attempts were made in the same direction, but without effect.

-Near the close of the day we were temporarily relieved and retired to

-a ravine a few yards in our rear, where we received rations, the first

-“square meal” in two days.

-

-At an early hour the following morning (May 27th) our artillery took

-position at the breastworks and opened a furious cannonading, which is

-replied to with spirit by the rebel batteries. During the afternoon the

-enemy made a sortie on our line, a general engagement ensued, and the

-rebels were beaten back. The Twenty-ninth regiment loss was slight, we

-being well protected by rifle pits. The rebel loss in this attack was

-severe, their dead and wounded being thickly strewn in front of our

-works. During this attack General Sherman and staff took position in

-our rear. General Hooker is generally where the bullets fly thickest,

-and his utter disregard of danger has won the love of the “boys,” who

-call him “Uncle Joe,” and who are all, at any time, ready to go through

-fire if he so desires, knowing he will not ask them to go where he

-fears to lead.

-

-The battle continues throughout the following day, with brisk

-infantry firing and heavy cannonading almost incessantly. As night

-again shrouds the bloody field the Twenty-ninth regiment, with the

-exception of company B, which was on the skirmish line, relieved the

-Seventh Ohio, One Hundred and Ninth, and One Hundred and Forty-seventh

-Pennsylvania. The rebels were unusually quiet during the night. Company

-B remained on the skirmish nearly all of the following day and was kept

-hotly engaged. The company’s position was not more than eight rods from

-the rebel outposts, who made it extremely hot for us as we went back

-and forth to the relief of our comrades, and sometimes unsoldierly

-attitudes were assumed to evade their deadly aim. Late in the day

-company B was relieved. Henry Brainard, Spencer Atkin, and Henry Clark

-volunteered to go out and bring in the bodies of Albert Atkin, C. A.

-Davis, and Jerome Phinney, which they did, the enemy opening fire upon

-them with musketry and artillery, the deadly missiles flying thick

-and fast about them. Such was the treatment of the “chivalry” to men

-bravely exposing themselves to give Christian interment to the gallant

-men who had fought their last battle. However, none were injured.

-While performing the last sad rites of burial, the rebels came out

-in a sortie and made furious assaults along our entire line. Our men

-reserved their fire until the enemy were close upon them, when, at a

-given signal, some twenty cannon, double shotted with grape, opened

-fire, which made the earth tremble with their awful thunder, while

-the infantry sent deadly volleys into their ranks. The result of this

-fire was most terrible slaughter to the enemy, who broke and ran

-anywhere to cover, leaving several hundred dead and dying behind, the

-ground between the two lines being literally covered with the rebel

-dead. During the 30th there were several sharp fights, our regiment

-having several men wounded. May 31st the regiment was under fire, as

-usual, the greater part of the day, and at night was engaged in the

-construction of an advanced line of works, under a heavy fire from

-the entire rebel line. Before they were fully completed the rebels

-commenced an attack and we fell back on the main line. General Geary

-being present, exclaimed, “Get back to your command in readiness for

-an engagement.” One ensued, which resulted in driving the enemy back

-with severe loss to them. We now resumed work and finally succeeded in

-completing the line, though continually annoyed by the enemy’s firing.

-

-On the morning of June 1st the regiment resumed its place on the front

-line and was soon furiously engaged, which continued during the fore

-part of the day. At noon the Twentieth corps was relieved by Logan’s

-Fifteenth corps and moved to the left as support to the Fourth corps

-(General Howard). The following morning we moved towards the left and

-at 11 o’clock A. M. formed line and pushed forward in concert with

-Schofield’s Twenty-third corps. We capture two lines of rebel works,

-the enemy falling back. That night we slept on our arms. At dawn on the

-3d we advanced and were soon engaged with the enemy, the skirmishing

-along our whole line being very strong. During the day Sherman

-succeeded in turning the rebel right, causing him to retire with severe

-loss. Twenty-ninth loss: Killed, six; wounded, twenty-four; captured,

-one; total thirty-one. This is the tenth day we have been under fire.

-4th.--Firing during all of last night. All quiet to-day.

-

-CHAPTER XVI.

-

-Advance to Pine Knob--Battle at that Place--A Forward Movement.

-

-

-At 5 o’clock on the morning of June 6th, the army pushed forward after

-the retreating enemy. When about two miles from Ackworth Station

-he makes a stand, and we wheel into line, the Twenty-ninth acting

-as skirmishers while the other troops were engaged in preparing

-rifle-pits. The Fourteenth corps now came up, forming on our left,

-and General Howard’s Fourth corps on our right. The position remained

-the same until June 10th, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio is sent forward

-on a reconnoissance. A large force of rebels are found to be strongly

-entrenched on Pine mountain. At dark the regiment returned to the main

-line, where the situation remains unchanged until June 14th, when our

-entire force move forward. The Twentieth, with the Fourth corps on

-its left, take position immediately in front of the rebel army, on

-Pine mountain. At evening the Twenty-ninth was again advanced to the

-skirmish line, and was engaged, as was our artillery, throughout the

-greater part of the night. On the following day, June 15th, occurs the

-battle of Pine Knob, Georgia.

-

-At early dawn our regiment pushed forward as the advance of a general

-flank movement on Pine mountain, which resulted in its capture without

-severe fighting. The Twentieth corps was changed from the front to

-the right. Moving rapidly in that direction it soon reached another

-strongly entrenched position of the enemy, when the column made a

-left half wheel, which brought the first brigade of Geary’s division

-directly in front of Pine Knob.

-

-This position of the enemy was found to be strongly fortified. Twenty

-embrazures, from which as many cannon bristled, covered all the

-approaches to it. General Hooker ordered General Geary to send two

-regiments in a sortie against the rebel position, and the Twenty-ninth

-Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments, the latter on our left,

-were at once forwarded to the assault. General Hooker, mounted on his

-famous gray charger, advanced with us, immediately in rear of our line.

-The general’s presence greatly encouraged the men in this desperate

-undertaking.

-

-On the hill were the twenty cannon, which we knew would soon belch

-forth destruction to our ranks. The two regiments silently but rapidly

-cross a ravine where they encounter two rebel regiments. These proved

-to be the First and Twenty-ninth Georgia. We opened fire briskly and

-charging upon them soon drove them in disorder to the rear.

-

-We pursued them so hotly that our standard-bearer was at one time

-within a few paces of the rebel Twenty-ninth Georgia colors, which we

-were making desperate efforts to capture. The rebel color-bearer was

-shot, but their flag was grasped again by another rebel who escaped

-with it into their fortification. But the regiment to which he belonged

-was nearly annihilated before it succeeded in regaining its main line.

-Our regiment had rushed upon them forcing them back step by step until

-they were under cover, and we had succeeded in killing, wounding,

-and taking prisoners all except the little handful who escaped with

-the flag. At the moment of their escape we made a dash to carry

-their fortifications, but were checked by abattis and a deep trench

-hidden by brush. At this point their artillery opened with murderous

-discharges of grape and canister, which produced terrible destruction

-in our ranks. Still the line stands firm. Another instant and our men

-are laying flat upon the ground and the deadly missiles go hissing

-harmlessly through the air over our heads. We now open a fire upon

-their cannoniers, so deadly in its character that the guns are soon

-silenced.

-

-Night was fast coming on when our line was ordered to fall back to a

-more secure position. The men now engage in the erection of earthworks

-within a few rods of the rebel fort on the knob, which placed the

-Twenty-ninth Ohio in the extreme front, our flanking regiments assuming

-a circular position on our right and left rear. We were under fire all

-night, the rebel infantry and artillery keeping up an almost continuous

-rattle in their endeavors to drive our men from their labors on the

-fortifications. Despite this, however, we held our position, though

-suffering a constant loss in our ranks.

-

-Just at daybreak on the 16th instant the Sixty-sixth Ohio, of our

-brigade from the reserve, relieved us; we, however, left them well

-protected by the strong earthworks constructed during the night.

-

-The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment went into this action with two hundred

-members, of whom thirty-nine were killed and wounded. Among the

-killed was First Sergeant Joel E. Tanner, one of our bravest men.

-Soon after his death his commission reached us promoting him to a

-captaincy for bravery in action. God help that little wife of his in

-her far away northern home to bear his death bravely as the wife of

-a soldier should, even though all her hopes and bright anticipations

-seem shattered by the blow. Generals Joe Hooker and Geary announced

-in warm terms their admiration of the “gallant manner in which the

-Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments conducted

-themselves in the assault on Pine Knob.” The former remarked that

-taking into consideration the deadly fire we were exposed to, we had

-accomplished that which he never saw so small a force attempt before.

-As he was present in the assault his opinion is of value.

-

-Sharp skirmishing and artillery firing continued along the line during

-the day. At night the Twenty-ninth regiment moved to the front,

-relieving the Sixty-sixth Ohio regiment. It was nearly morning when we

-discovered that the enemy were withdrawing their artillery. We at once

-advanced and possessed the rebel fortifications on the hill with little

-trouble, as the artillery had already withdrawn and the infantry were

-rapidly following. After daylight we pushed forward, only to find the

-enemy in another strong position, which we at once attacked. A rambling

-fire was kept up during the entire day.

-

-During the following day (June 18th) the same state of affairs

-continued, the firing extending along our entire front. At an early

-hour next morning the enemy retreated, and we moved in pursuit, the

-Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment, as usual, in the advance as skirmishers.

-Why, I believe the “boys” would have rebelled had they not been put

-on the skirmish line whenever there was a prospect of somebody being

-killed on our side. Rapidly we gained possession of two lines of hills,

-and soon found the enemy upon a third ridge, strongly fortified. A

-skirmish of two hours’ duration ensues, and we are ordered to fall back

-to the main line, as support to Bundy’s Thirteenth New York battery.

-

-June 20th the Twenty-ninth regiment and its brigade are in line three

-miles southwest of Marietta, Georgia, and skirmished all day with the

-enemy. As night came on our division moved to the right, forming on the

-right of Butterfield’s Third division. Our regiment was again on the

-skirmish line, and in active engagement during the greater part of the

-night. The next morning we formed line of battle near Culp’s farm and

-to the right of Little Kenesaw mountain. At about 11 A. M. our regiment

-was withdrawn from the skirmish line, and at once began throwing up

-rifle-pits parallel with works of Williams’ First division on our right

-and Butterfield’s on our left. The Third brigade of the Second division

-now advanced and engaged the enemy, our single line affording feeble

-protection in the event of an attack on our position.

-

-

-

-

-CHAPTER XVII.

-

-Battle of Culp’s Farm or Kenesaw Mountain--The Glorious Fourth--Advance

-to the Chattahoochie.

-

-

-June 22d we move to the front, and occupy a ridge on Culp’s farm, which

-covers the level on our front. We had been but a short time in this

-position when the rebel General Hood’s corps was moved directly on our

-front, and immediately advanced in furious attack upon the divisions of

-Generals Geary and Williams. Our artillery was at once turned upon the

-advancing rebel columns, which, with the terrific volleys our infantry

-poured into their ranks, produced a sudden check to their further

-advance, and in less than one hour these two divisions succeeded in

-beating back and putting to total rout Hood’s entire command, which

-suffered great loss, while ours was but slight. The enemy left on the

-field 2,100 killed, wounded, and prisoners, besides many wounded,

-removed from the field. The estimated rebel loss was 3,000 men. Eight

-hundred of the rebel dead were buried on the field.

-

-At the close of this action a body of our skirmishers were deployed

-over the field, finding the enemy’s dead and wounded scattered thickly

-about. In places they lay stretched across each other, literally heaped

-up, bloody, terrible--dead. Our skirmishers advanced rapidly, and

-were soon engaged with the enemy’s rear, but this soon ceased, and we

-established a picket line for the night. We remained on the field until

-noon of the 23d, when we were retired and rejoined the main line.

-

-At about 4 o’clock P. M., one hundred guns opened a simultaneous

-fire on Little Kenesaw mountain. Directly in front of our regiment

-and across the creek, which flows along the base of the mountain, is

-level ground. At this point is situated a block-house and rifle-pits,

-the latter between the house and mountain, and both now held by rebel

-sharpshooters, who were continually picking off our cannoniers. General

-Geary, evidently contemplating an advance of his line, called for

-twenty volunteers from the Twenty-ninth regiment to dislodge these

-troublesome occupants of the block-house and rifle-pits. In response to

-this call two men from each company came quickly forward, and at once

-advanced across the creek and ravine. The rebels soon discovered the

-detachment; and opened fire upon it. Sergeant Griswold, of Company B,

-in command, rapidly advanced his men up the rise of open ground lying

-between him and the enemy, and with a rush amidst a perfect storm of

-bullets, closed on the rifle-pits, capturing all who remained in them.

-

-We now approach the rear of the block-house and demand its surrender.

-The rebel lieutenant in command exclaimed from the window of the house:

-“You d--d yanks, take us if you can!” and immediately opened fire.

-The door of the house is soon battered down, and the rebels attempt

-to cut their way out. Finding themselves covered by nearly a score of

-rifles, aimed by determined men, all, with the exception of the rebel

-lieutenant and one other, threw down their arms and surrendered. The

-rebel officer fired on the captors and lost his life by his rashness.

-We had now a total of twenty-one prisoners. Several others were killed

-or badly wounded. The former were sent at once to the rear, and the

-little force deployed along the road to hold the position until

-reinforcements should arrive. However, they were not furnished, and

-after holding the position some two hours a heavy body of rebels came

-upon us, stealing along under cover of the bushes on the opposite side

-of the road, suddenly arose and fired a volley at us. The speed we made

-across the level field with the rebels in hot pursuit, their bullets

-whistling past our ears in the most energetic manner, would have

-dismayed a professional pedestrian.

-

-June 24th, skirmishing during the day. As night came on a detachment

-of the Twenty-ninth regiment was sent out on picket. Nothing occurred

-during the night, and at dawn we returned to our brigade, where orders

-were received to hold ourselves in readiness to move on notice,

-cannonading and skirmish fighting being kept up along the line.

-

-The situation remained unchanged until June 27th. At an early hour

-this morning two men from each company of our regiment volunteered to

-advance to the relief of the Pennsylvania regiment on the outposts,

-and about 9 o’clock A. M. we moved forward. We were also to dislodge

-the rebel sharpshooters, who had been allowed to again possess the

-block-house and rifle-pits. Crossing the creek and ravine we made a

-quick dash toward the locality mentioned, amid a hot cross-fire from

-rebels along the fence before referred to. But as we close the rebels

-abandon the block-house and rifle-pits, yet dispute with the energy of

-desperation, every inch of our advance as they retire. We, however,

-gained possession of the road beyond the house, an important position

-covering the rebel left on Little Kenesaw.

-

-They now opened fire on us from the mountain on our left and front.

-Making a flank movement to the left we came up in rear of some rebel

-rifle-pits, capturing eleven prisoners and holding the position until

-the Fifth Ohio regiment came to our support. That regiment at once

-began to fortify, while we remained on the skirmish line under constant

-fire. The enemy discovered the work of the Fifth and trained their

-batteries from different directions on our position, and also advanced

-infantry, who made repeated attempts to dislodge us. Solid shot and

-shell came crashing through the block-house, the shells bursting

-amongst us in quick succession. Nor were their musketry behind in

-sending their death-dealing missiles upon us.

-

-Knapp’s battery soon came up the hill, and swinging into position,

-unlimbered and opened a rapid cross-fire on Little Kenesaw mountain.

-About this time the Fourteenth, with a portion of the Fourth corps,

-made a desperate assault on the mountain a short distance to our left.

-The engagement now became serious, one shell killing twelve and another

-six of our men. To hold the position we had captured was an arduous

-undertaking, and so severe was the fighting that those of us who had

-advanced early in the morning had fired nearly two hundred rounds. At

-dusk the fighting ceased, and we are recalled to our command.

-

-June 28th.--This morning at sunrise we advance obliquely to the right,

-and, reaching an advanced position, throw up fortifications; rebel

-batteries open fire on us meanwhile. Our lookout, as he sees smoke

-issue from the rebel guns, calls out: “Lay down,” “lay low,” or “look

-out, she’s coming,” etc. Many laughable and other incidents occurred

-during this bombardment, such as attempts to dodge shells, etc. Charles

-Upton, of Company G, while carrying a rail, had it cut in two by a

-shell; he, however, escaped unhurt.

-

-June 29th.--To-day the Fourteenth corps obtained a temporary truce

-under flag, during which they interred their dead. An assault is made

-on this corps during the early part of the night, but is repulsed, and

-we were not again disturbed.

-

-June 30th.--During this afternoon the Twenty-ninth regiment received

-orders to move. About 10 o’clock at night our corps (the Twentieth) was

-relieved by the Fourteenth. We at once marched several miles to the

-right in relief of the Twenty-third corps.

-

-On July 1st our regiment was again engaged. The fighting ceased only

-with daylight. Sharp skirmishing and severe cannonading continued

-during the entire day of the 2d, and at night the Twenty-ninth regiment

-occupied its customary position--on the skirmish line. This time,

-however, it was accompanied by the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania. Just

-before daylight on the morning of July 3d, the enemy were found to be

-retreating, and we at once moved forward to find the works deserted,

-the troops having evacuated. The position, as supposed, was almost

-impregnable to direct assault, being constructed to enfilade an attack

-of infantry.

-

-The army now push forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels, the

-Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania taking the advance

-in the order of heavy skirmishers. We soon came upon Wheeler’s

-rebel cavalry, and engaged his dismounted men so promptly that they

-fell precipitately back to where their horses were picketed. The

-Twenty-ninth succeeded in capturing nearly one hundred of them in their

-hurried efforts to remount. The Second division during the pursuit

-captured nearly nine hundred prisoners. The rebels were steadily

-falling back on the Chattahoochie river. It was late when we halted

-for the night. How sweet the wooing of the drowsy god after such long

-continued fatigue, only those who have been there can imagine, the soft

-side of a rail on such occasions being more luxurious than any patent

-spring contrivance of to-day.

-

-July 4th. On this day, made glorious to all this goodly land by the

-forefathers of both the blue and gray, was celebrated by the issue of

-full rations of hard-tack, s----, bacon, and coffee, and wonderful

-feats of gormandizing ensued. To make the day something of a reminder

-of the Northern anniversary, with its tearing headache of the 5th,

-General “Joe” ordered an issue of liquor to the men, the first of the

-campaign. About 4 o’clock P. M. we broke camp and marched towards the

-left, but soon came to a halt for the night.

-

-At dawn on the following day we pushed forward and took possession of a

-line of works the rebels had only evacuated on our approach. They are

-now crossing Chattahoochie river. The advance is continued until within

-about one and one-half miles of the river, where we encounter a second

-line of rebel works, occupied by the enemy to cover the retreat across

-the river.

-

-July 6th we occupy the position of yesterday. During the forenoon our

-regiment was support of Bundy’s New York battery, engaged in shelling

-the rebels from a fort. About 2 P. M. we returned with the battery to

-the main line, and one hour later moved with our division to the left

-and formed line of battle, in which position we passed the night. On

-the day following we marched to the left and assumed position in line

-between the Fourteenth and Fifteenth corps. Sharp skirmishing was kept

-up nearly all night. This position is maintained by our regiment,

-with daily skirmishing, until the early dawn of July 10th, when the

-Twenty-ninth Ohio is pushed forward on a reconnoissance. We discover

-that the enemy have retreated across the Chattahoochie. On reaching

-the river we deploy as skirmishers along the north bank, the enemy

-being posted along the opposite side. Atlanta lies only nine miles to

-the south of us. The rebel army of General Joe E. Johnston is said to

-be strongly intrenched some four miles south of our position. A small

-number only of rebels remain on the opposite bank of the Chattahoochie.

-The Union and rebel pickets are on good terms, often meeting in the

-middle of the river, where they exchange coffee for tobacco, which,

-by the way, was a very scarce article with us. The Twenty-ninth Ohio

-regiment now musters only one hundred and fifty men for duty. The

-mustering officer tells us that we have lost more men killed and

-wounded in proportion to the number present at the beginning of this

-campaign than any regiment in the Western army.

-

-July 6, we were in support of a battery during the forenoon. During the

-afternoon we moved to the left, camping in a beautiful grove of pines.

-

-7th. Moved forward some three miles, to a ridge commanding a fine view

-of the country.

-

-11th. The rebels have crossed Chattahoochie river. Our pickets are

-posted on its north bank.

-

-17th. Moved forward to the left, crossed the Chattahoochie river at

-Peace ferry about 9 o’clock P. M.

-

-18th. Moved forward some two miles, skirmishing much of the distance.

-

-19th. Advanced to Peach Tree creek, which we crossed, encountering the

-enemy and taking some prisoners.

-

-

-

-

-CHAPTER XVIII.

-

-Battle of Peach Tree Creek--Some of the “boys” go to Andersonville.

-

-

-On the morning of July 20th, just as old Sol was tinting the east with

-his rosy hue, our army began a general forward movement, the Twentieth

-corps in this advance being on the right centre, the Fourth corps left,

-resting on our right, and Newton’s division (Fourth corps) connecting

-with our left. Slight skirmishing ensued early in the morning, but

-towards noon the enemy retired. The unbroken stillness which followed

-caused us to advance cautiously lest the rebels draw us into an ambush.

-On reaching Peach Tree creek, a narrow, sluggish stream, whose abrupt

-banks, covered with briars and a dense, almost impassable undergrowth,

-would be a fatal barrier to a routed army, especially as the stream

-was without bridges, the entire command came to a halt until crossings

-could be constructed. Previous to the crossing of the main line General

-Geary ordered forward a force in reconnoissance, consisting of the

-Twenty-ninth Ohio, Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, a detachment of the

-Thirty-third New Jersey, and four pieces of Bundy’s New York battery,

-Geary himself following and directing the movement. When once across

-we advanced over several rough sparsely wooded ravines until reaching

-an eminence overlooking a narrow, open valley on our front and left.

-Immediately on our right front was a piece of heavy timber, extending

-also on our rear. The ridge directly in our front was covered with

-a thick undergrowth, affording a fine position for an ambuscade.

-Our force was now brought to a halt. Bundy’s battery was hastily put

-into position on the ridge to cover the valley. The Twenty-ninth Ohio

-assumed position on the right, and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania on

-the left of the battery. D. E. Hurlburt, captain of company K, had

-charge of a detail from the Twenty-ninth and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments

-in the skirmish of the timber, so he states.

-

-The detachment of the Thirty-third New Jersey deployed as skirmishers

-across the valley in our front, General Geary and staff following

-closely in its rear. While they were advancing, we hastily constructed

-a light barricade of fence rails, and Bundy prepared his battery for

-business. We anxiously watched General Geary and the skirmishers as

-they cautiously moved up the ridge.

-

-When within a few yards of the underbrush a large force of rebels

-came from cover, and with wild yells rushed forward. Captain Bundy at

-once opened fire upon them, which threw them into disorder, but did

-not check their advance. As Geary and staff passed over our line his

-chief, Captain Elliott, fell from his horse, shot dead. Geary shouted

-to us, “A general engagement! a general engagement! My brave men hold

-to your position. I will send support to you.” He was answered with

-rousing cheers. When the little remnant of the skirmishing force had

-come in we commenced a rapid fire in connection with Captain Bundy’s

-double-shotted guns, which speedily thinned the advancing columns of

-rebels, but without avail, as the breaks were at once filled with

-fresh troops. As the rebels attempted to close with us our men seemed

-to be endowed with the valor born of desperation, and clubbed them

-back. Forward they came, a dense mass of living fire, and bravely we

-sustained the shock of twenty times our number. The sharp rattle of

-musketry, the loud roar of Bundy’s guns, and the defiant shouts of the

-combatants, in close hand to hand conflict, can never be erased from

-the tablets of memory while life shall last. It was grandly, awfully

-terrible.

-

-A dense smoke settled around the battery and enclosing the extreme left

-of the regiment, hid the position of our right. Suddenly firing begins

-on us from our rear. The cannoniers are disabled and the infantry are

-called upon to work the guns, which were instantly turned to the rear

-upon heavy masses of rebels advancing from the woods on our flank.

-The greater part of our regiment had discovered this movement in

-time to change front to rear, but were instantly forced back by the

-overwhelming numbers of the rebels, and those in charge of the battery

-were instantly surrounded by a powerful mob of yelling fiends. Still

-the double-shotted guns continue to belch forth fire and death, cutting

-great gaps in the ranks of the enemy at each discharge.

-

-At the guns’ front, with muskets clubbed, a hand to hand conflict was

-had, to allow the reloading of the guns. The situation was now most

-desperate. A cordon of the enemy hemmed in the brave band, now reduced

-to but seventy men, whose ammunition was exhausted, and at last they

-were forced to surrender the battery. Henry Rood, of company A, and

-Henry E. Clark, company B, are the only names the writer has been able

-to secure of those captured at this time.

-

-General Geary came up soon after, charged the enemy and recovered the

-battery, which was instantly turned upon the rebels, causing great

-destruction. The prisoners were, however, too far in the rear for

-recapture, and they were conveyed to that loathsome earthly hell,

-Andersonville. What they endured, the cruelties of the studied

-starvation by express order of chivalric Jeff Davis, and the horrible

-atrocities accorded to defenseless prisoners by the Southern opponents

-in this unholy, ungodly conflict, the writer will not attempt to

-describe; language fails in the recital. Loss: Killed, two; wounded,

-seven; captured, five; total fourteen.

-Siege of Atlanta--The Capitulation--General Sherman’s Report.

-

-

-July 21st, heavy skirmishing on our right. 22d, we moved forward in

-pursuit of the retreating rebels. 23d, we are now strongly intrenched,

-within two miles of Atlanta, Georgia; lively skirmishing much of the

-time. 24th, shelling and picket firing to-day; rebels charged our line

-but were repulsed. 25th, brisk firing all day. 26th, advanced our line

-forty rods. 27th, quiet along the lines. 28th, heavy firing on our

-right; the rebels are repulsed. 29th and 30th, fighting continues.

-

-August 1st to 3d, hot firing all the time. 4th, National Thanksgiving

-Day; fighting on our right; rebels driven back; skirmishing every

-day--all the time; getting monotonous. 25th, left our works and

-fell back to the Chattahoochie river, near Vining station; marched

-all night. 27th, Major-general W. H. Slocum assumed command of the

-Twentieth army corps.

-

-September 4th, moved forward to Atlanta, which we reached about 2

-o’clock P. M.; marched through the city and went into camp about one and

-one-half miles west of the city. 6th, received an order from General

-Sherman that the campaign was ended, and that the troops are to have

-a full month’s rest; that our task was not only done, but well done.

-12th, the citizens of Atlanta were moved south to-day; from this date

-we lay in camp with little to mar our happiness till November 1st,

-when we received orders to send all our baggage to the rear and put

-ourselves in light marching order. November 5th, orders having been

-received for the troops to move, the Twenty-ninth struck tents and

-marched from Atlanta at 3:30 P. M. in the direction of Stone Mountain,

-some three miles, and camped for the night. At 1 o’clock P. M. on the

-following day, the regiment marched back to Atlanta, and again occupied

-its old camp.

-

-During the afternoon of the 1st of September specific orders for the

-withdrawal of Stewart’s rebel _corps de armee_ and the militia were

-issued, and about sunset the latter were withdrawn from the trenches.

-When they were fairly on the road Stewart’s corps followed, all being

-en route by midnight, except the cavalry, a brigade or two of infantry,

-and the pickets. These latter remained until the advance of the

-Twentieth corps neared the city on the morning of the 2d. The explosion

-of ammunition was of course heard at the position of the Twentieth

-corps, and though General Slocum (who it appears was in command of the

-Twentieth corps at the time) had received no intelligence of Sherman’s

-great success at Jonesboro, he was not unprepared to find Hood gone

-any morning, and the explosions convinced him that the withdrawal was

-taking place. He instantly issued orders to his division commanders,

-Generals Ward, Williams, and Geary, to send out each a heavy

-reconnoissance at daybreak on the morning of the 2d.

-

-About 1,000 men were detailed from each division, and at 5 A. M. pushed

-forward on neighboring roads into Atlanta on the north and northwest,

-encountering no opposition. They pushed rapidly forward, and at 8

-o’clock came in sight of the rebel intrenchments, so lately occupied

-with enemies but now silent and deserted.

-

-Advancing rapidly, Colonel Coburn, commanding General Ward’s

-reconnoissance, entered the enemy’s works, encountering in the

-suburbs Mayor Calhoun, of Atlanta, and a deputation of the city

-council. The former nervously presented a paper surrendering the city

-and asking protection. Colonel Coburn refused to receive the paper

-for informality, and directed that another should be drawn up. Mayor

-Calhoun invited several of General Ward’s staff to accompany him

-to the court-house, where the documents should be made _en regle_,

-promising at the same time to expel the drunken rebel stragglers,

-who were lingering in the streets and were disposed to skirmish with

-our advance. He immediately took measures to effect the last, and

-accompanied by the officers whose names are offered in attest, he

-returned to the court-house, and the following document was drawn up:

-

-  “ATLANTA, GEORGIA, }

-  September 2, 1864. }

-

-  “Brigadier-general Ward, Commanding Third Division

-  Twentieth Corps.

-

- “SIR:--The fortunes of war have placed the city of Atlanta in your

- hands, and as mayor of the city I ask protection to non-combatants and

- private property.

-

-  “JAMES M. CALHOUN,

-  Mayor of Atlanta.”

-

-The preliminary formalities thus disposed of, our troops entered

-the city with music and flags, marching promptly and erect. A fine

-flag-staff was found on the Franklin printing house, where the Memphis

-Appeal had been printed. The stars and stripes were soon flung to the

-calm, sunny air amid the cheers of the brave men who had fought for so

-many weary, consuming days to place it there.

-

-General Henry W. Slocum established his headquarters at the Trout

-house, the leading hotel of the city, overlooking the public square.

-In the forts around Atlanta eleven heavy guns, mainly sixty-four

-pounders, were left by the enemy; also about three thousand muskets, in

-good order, stored in various parts of the city, were found; also three

-locomotives in running order, and large quantities of manufactured

-tobacco were discovered. Between one and two hundred stragglers, the

-majority of them very drunk, were fished from their hiding places and

-placed under guard at the court-house.

-

- GENERAL THOMAS’ CONGRATULATORY ORDER.

-

-  ARMY HEADQUARTERS, July 26, 1864.

-

- “The major-general commanding the army congratulates the troops upon

- the brilliant success attending the Union arms in the late battles.

- In the battle of the 20th instant, in which the Twentieth corps, one

- division of the Fourth corps, and part of the Fourteenth corps were

- engaged, the total union loss in killed, wounded, and missing was

- 1,733. In front of the Twentieth corps there were put out of the fight

- 6,000 rebels; 563 of the enemy were buried by our own troops, and the

- rebels were permitted to bury 250. The Second division of the Fourth

- corps repulsed seven different assaults of the enemy with light loss

- to themselves, and which must have swelled the number of dead buried

- by the rebels to beyond 300. We also captured seven stands of colors.

- No official report has been received of the part taken in the battle

- by the Fourteenth corps. In the battle of the 22d instant, the total

- Union loss in killed, wounded, and missing was 3,500, and also 10

- pieces of artillery. The rebel loss in prisoners captured was 3,200.

- The known dead of the enemy in front of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth

- corps and one division of the Seventeenth corps was 2,142. The other

- divisions of the Seventeenth corps repulsed six assaults of the enemy

- before they fell back, and which will swell the rebel loss in killed

- to at least 3,000. The latest reports state that we buried over 3,200

- rebels killed in this fight. There were captured from the enemy in

- this battle 18 stands of colors and 5,000 stands of arms.

-  MISSISSIPPI IN THE FIELD,               }

-  ATLANTA, GEORGIA, SEPT. 8, 1864.        }

-

- “The officers and soldiers of the armies of the Cumberland, Ohio, and

- Tennessee have already received the thanks of the Nation through its

- President and commander in chief, and it remains now only for him

- who has been with you from the beginning, and who intends to stay

- all the time, to thank the officers and men for their intelligence,

- fidelity, and courage displayed in the campaign of Atlanta. On the

- 1st day of May our armies were lying in garrison, seemingly quiet,

- from Knoxville to Huntsville, and our enemy lay behind his rocky-faced

- barrier at Dalton, proud, defiant, and exultant. He had time since

- Christmas to recover from his discomfiture on the Mission Ridge, with

- his ranks filled, and a new commander in chief, second to none of the

- Confederacy in reputation for skill, sagacity, and extreme popularity.

- All at once our armies assumed life and action and appeared before

- Dalton. Threatening Rocky Face, we threw ourselves upon Resaca, and

- the rebel army only escaped by the rapidity of its retreat, aided by

- the numerous roads with which he was familiar, and which were strange

- to us. Again he took post, at Allatoona, but we gave him no rest, and

- by a circuit toward Dallas and a subsequent movement to Ackworth, we

- gained the Allatoona pass. Then followed the eventful battles about

- Kenesaw and the escape of the enemy across the Chattahoochie river.

- The crossing of the Chattahoochie and breaking of the Augusta road

- was most handsomely executed by us, and will be studied as an example

- in the art of war. At this stage of our game our enemies became

- dissatisfied with their old and skilful commander and selected one

- more bold and rash. New tactics were adopted. Hood first boldly and

- rapidly on the 20th of July fell on our right at Peach Tree creek, and

- lost again. On the 22d he struck our extreme left and was severely

- punished; and finally again on the 28th he repeated the attempt on our

- right, and that time must have been satisfied, for since that date he

- has remained on the defensive. We slowly and gradually drew our lines

- about Atlanta, feeling for the railroads which supplied the rebel army

- and made Atlanta a place of importance. We must concede to our enemy

- that he met these efforts patiently and skilfully, but at last he made

- the mistake we had waited for so long and sent his cavalry to our

- rear, far beyond the reach of recall. Instantly our cavalry was on his

- only remaining road, and we followed quickly with our principal army,

- and Atlanta fell into our possession as the fruit of well-concerted

- measures, backed by a brave and competent army. This completed the

- grand task which had been assigned us by our Government, and your

- general again repeats his personal and official thanks to all the

- officers and men composing this army for the indomitable courage and

- perseverance which alone could give success. We have beaten our enemy

- on every ground he has chosen, and have wrested from him his own

- Gate city, where were located his foundries, arsenals, and workshops,

- deemed secure on account of their distance from our base and the

- seeming impregnable obstacles intervening. Nothing is impossible to an

- army like this, determined to vindicate a government wherever our flag

- has once floated, and resolved to maintain them at any and all cost.

-

- “In our campaign many, yea very many of our noble and gallant comrades

- have preceded us to our common destination, the grave; but they have

- left the memory of deeds on which a Nation can build a proud history.

- McPherson, Harker, McCook, and others dear to us all, are now the

- binding links in our minds that should attach more closely together

- the living, who have to complete the task which still lies before us

- in the dim future.

-

- “I ask all to continue as they have so well begun, the cultivation

- of the soldierly virtues that have ennobled our own and other

- countries,--courage, patience, obedience to the laws and constituted

- authorities of our Government, fidelity to our trusts, and good

- feeling among each other; each trying to excel the other in the

- practice of those high qualities, and it will then require no prophet

- to foretell that our country will, in time, emerge from this war

- purified by the fires of war and worthy its great founder, Washington.

-

-  “W. T. SHERMAN,

-  Major-general commanding.”

-

-With Sherman to the Sea--Colonel Schoonover’s Journal--Siege of

-Savannah.

-

-

-Tuesday, the 8th instant, the Twenty-ninth was very busy holding

-election. Detachments from other organizations were permitted to vote

-at the Twenty-ninth headquarters. The Twenty-ninth regiment cast three

-hundred and eighty-four votes. Of these Lincoln received three hundred

-and fifty and McClellan thirty-four. During the day the regiment was

-wide awake and enthusiastic, and gave every soldier a chance to vote.

-At 6:30 A. M. on the following day, while the regiment was in tents

-eating breakfast, the rebels opened a lively fire with artillery, at

-short range. The enemy approached our picket, which was posted west

-of camp, covering the Sandtown road, who were surprised and fell back

-without firing a shot; hence the first intimation that we had that the

-enemy was near was the report of their artillery and the bursting of

-shells in our midst. The Twenty-ninth fell in and took position behind

-the fortification which the regiment had constructed. In the meantime a

-line of skirmishers was sent out and soon the enemy were driven back. A

-portion of the brigade was sent out on the Sandtown road, marched a few

-miles, but the Confederates had flown, and late in the afternoon the

-scouting party returned to camp.

-

-November 10th. Remained in camp occupied in the usual camp and picket

-duties, and the inspection of ammunition, arms, and accoutrements, and

-all was quiet, and at 8 o’clock in the evening the city of Atlanta

-took fire and was nearly annihilated. Saturday, the 12th, in camp, and

-all is quiet. Sunday, November 13th, the Twenty-ninth was detailed to

-tear up and destroy the railroad, and 7:30 marched out on the railroad

-leading to Chattanooga, and was engaged until 10 at night in burning

-the ties and bending the rails. At night the regiment returned to its

-old camp at Atlanta. 14th instant, in camp; all quiet. A man in company

-I was injured by falling from a building. 15th instant, marched at 6:30

-A. M. on the road leading to Stone mountain in a southeast direction

-from Atlanta, and at 6 P. M. halted and went into camp (marched fifteen

-miles). 16th instant, marched at 7:30 A. M., and at 5:15 P. M. halted

-and camped for the night (marched twelve miles). 17th instant, marched

-at 5 o’clock A. M., and after marching twelve miles halted for dinner,

-and at 2 P. M. fell in and marched until 5 P. M., when the regiment

-halted and went into camp. 18th instant, moved at 4:30 A. M.; marched

-ten miles, and at 12 M. halted for dinner; fell in at 1 o’clock and at

-6 P. M. halted and camped for the night (marched twenty miles during

-the day). 19th instant, marched at 6:30 A. M.

-

-Twentieth instant, moved fourteen miles and camped for the night

-near Edenton. 21st, marched through Edenton in the direction of

-Milledgeville, a distance of sixteen miles, and went into camp. 22d,

-marched at 5:30 A. M., halted at 12 M. one hour for dinner, and at

-1:15 P. M. fell in and marched until 8 o’clock P. M., passed through

-Milledgeville and crossed the Oconee river and camped for the night.

-23d, Twenty-ninth regiment detailed for picket; fell in and moved east

-about three-fourths of a mile, passing through the woods and advancing

-into an open country; during its stay on picket duty some of the

-boys went out on a foraging expedition, and it is not necessary to

-state that they were successful, and that honey, sweet potatoes, and

-some fine chickens (which the quartermaster had left), made a very

-pleasant repast. 24th, received orders to join the brigade; marched at

-7 o’clock A. M., and halted at 1:30 for dinner; fell in at 2:15 P. M.,

-halted at 7:30, camped for the night; marched fifteen miles. 25th,

-moved at 7 A. M., passing through a low country covered with heavy

-timber and thick undergrowth; the Twenty-ninth was train guard; halted

-at 12 M., at Buffalo creek, for dinner; found the bridge destroyed;

-parked the train, and late in the afternoon the bridge was repaired

-and the regiment with the train crossed, passed through Buffalo swamp

-and camped for the night; marched twelve miles. 26th, the regiment was

-ordered up at 3:30 A. M., remained on arms until 7:30, when it marched

-with the brigade; halted at 1:30 P. M. at Sandersville for dinner, and

-in the afternoon marched to the Georgia Central railroad, tore up

-about two miles of track, and at 8:30 went into camp; drew rations of

-honey for supper. 27th, marched at 5 A. M., reached the railroad at

-8:50, tore up the track, and at 2:30 P. M. marched to Davisboro, which

-it reached at 9 o’clock, and camped here; marched nine miles. 28th,

-in the forenoon marched back to the railroad, and tore up track until

-5 o’clock P. M., then marched back to Davisboro, and camped for the

-night; nothing special transpired during the night except the burning

-of a house, which accidentally (?) took fire; search was made in the

-regiments of the brigade by the staff officers to find out if possible

-the cause of the fire, but “not guilty” was the response. 29th, marched

-at 6:30 A. M., halted at 11:30, at Bartlows station, for dinner, and in

-the afternoon marched through Bostwick and went into camp; marched 14

-miles. 30th, marched at 6 A. M., halted at Daniel Blake’s plantation

-for dinner, and in the afternoon marched four miles and camped for the

-night.

-

-December 1, 1864, marched at 7:30 A. M., the Second division in the

-advance, passed through a low, wet country, almost impassable to the

-ordnance train; halted at 8:15 and camped for the night; marched

-fifteen miles. 2d, marched at 6 A. M., First brigade in advance; moved

-about ten miles; halted at 12 M. for dinner, at a creek where the

-rebels had destroyed the bridge, and while preparing dinner, the

-Twenty-ninth regiment was ordered to fall in, which it did without

-delay, and marched to the creek; the enemy was found on its opposite

-bank in considerable force; the regiment was ordered to drive the enemy

-out of the timber, force them back and hold them while the bridge was

-being rebuilt; we loaded our guns, and crossing the bank four companies

-under Captain Schoonover advanced to the right up the road, through the

-timber (which was a thick undergrowth) driving the enemy out of the

-woods and into an open field about one mile from the bridge; barricaded

-the road with rails, and the other six companies under Major Wright,

-advanced direct to the point through the woods about one mile, the

-enemy falling back; the regiment held its position until the bridge

-was rebuilt, and a crossing effected, and late in the P. M. the brigade

-moved through the swamp and camped for the night. 3d, remained in camp

-until after dinner, then moved forward the remainder of the day and

-all night; had no supper; halted at 7 A. M. for breakfast, near Millen;

-the old stockade was empty, the prisoners having been removed the day

-before; after breakfast on the 4th, we moved forward, marched all day,

-and at 8 P. M. halted and camped for the night. 5th, marched at 7 A. M.,

-halted at 2:30 P. M. for dinner; moved three miles in the afternoon, and

-at 6 went into camp for the night. 6th, marched ten miles and camped

-for the night. 7th, marched at 7 A. M., halted at 12:30 for dinner;

-rained all the forenoon, had no dinner; marched in the afternoon,

-halted at 7 P. M. and camped for the night, near Springfield; marched

-twelve miles. 8th, marched at 6:30 A. M. and camped at 4:30 P. M. near

-Eden.

-

-9th instant at 9 A. M., moved six miles and halted thirty minutes for

-dinner at Wallhower Swamp, where the Confederates were found in force.

-The fallen timber which obstructed the road was soon removed by the

-Pioneer corps, and in the meantime with the Third brigade, of Geary’s

-division in the advance, had a sharp skirmish with the rebels. While

-the road was being cleared the Second division were resting on their

-arms, except the Third brigade, which had advanced nearly through the

-swamp. While engaged with the enemy the train was ordered forward,

-and the Twenty-ninth regiment advanced on double-quick in support

-of the brigade thus engaged. Passing the train it reached the Third

-brigade, which had advanced about one mile and a half. The Twenty-ninth

-immediately formed line on the left of the road in rear of the Third

-brigade, and skirmished until dark, when the firing ceased. During the

-night the rebels fell back. 10th instant, moved at 7 A. M. and marched

-through the swamp where we found small earth works and two small field

-pieces masked to cover the road through the swamp, but when the boys in

-blue were discovered the rebels moved to the rear. The regiment marched

-thirteen miles with some skirmishing and artillery firing during the

-day and night.

-

-When about four miles from the city of Savannah, Georgia, rebel

-artillery was found to be in the road behind earthworks to impede our

-progress. The Twenty-ninth regiment, with the brigade, filed to the

-left of the road and took position in the timber, where it bivouacked

-for the night. After leaving Atlanta, Georgia, on the 15th day of

-November, 1864, the army was designated as the Army of Georgia, the

-Twelfth and Fourteenth corps, known as the left wing, commanded by

-Major-general H. W. Slocum, and the Fifteenth and Seventeenth corps,

-known as the right wing, commanded by Major-general O. O. Howard,

-Major-general William T. Sherman in command of the Army of Georgia.

-

-On this march the army cut loose from the base of supplies at Atlanta,

-and lived mostly from forage on the country. On reaching the enemy

-within four miles of Savannah, on the 10th day of December, the

-division had accumulated several hundred head of cattle. Sunday,

-December 11th, moved in the morning about one mile, and took a position

-near the rebel lines, the Twenty-ninth regiment, on the extreme left

-of the line, with its left reaching the Savannah river. While in this

-position the rebels opened fire with artillery from a fort immediately

-in our front, and the infantry from their strong line of works, kept

-up a continual fire. The brigade remained in line until late in the

-afternoon, sustaining slight loss, when it fell back through the open

-field into the woods and laid on arms all night. On the 12th inst., at

-2:30 A. M., fell in and advanced to the front about one-half mile to the

-old levee, and thence filed to the left. Marched about three-fourths

-of a mile, halted, and prepared to charge the rebels. To do so the

-right had to pass a dike or canal with four or five feet of water,

-and assault the fort and breastworks in open field. The charge was

-abandoned, and at 4:30 A. M. the regiment returned to camp, where we

-remained skirmishing and artillery firing during the day. On the 13th

-inst. the Twenty-ninth was on skirmish line all day. During the night

-we advanced our line through a woods, which was heavy pine, mixed with

-live oak, within two hundred yards of the rebel line, where they were

-strongly intrenched. Between the contending armies was no timber except

-scattering undergrowth, and a canal near the rebel line of works. In

-this advanced position the regiment dug rifle-pits, which were strongly

-barricaded with timber.

-

-In the lines of rifle-pits our pickets were stationed and performed

-the duty of skirmishers, being relieved every twenty-four hours, which

-was done under cover of night. In the meantime the regiment fell back

-about one-fourth of a mile, and constructed works of heavy timber, in

-the rear of which the men put up their shelter tents. Here they could

-partake of the scanty rations (but dare not sleep), as the artillery

-firing and skirmishing was kept up continually day and night on the

-14th, 15th, 16th and 17th; and Sunday, the 18th, skirmishing and

-artillery duelling all along the line. On the 19th skirmishing all day.

-In the evening a detail was made from our brigade under the command

-of Major Myron T. Wright, to construct new lines of works. While

-engaged in the work at 7 o’clock P. M., he received a severe wound in

-the left foot (at which time Captain Jonas Schoonover took command),

-the ball entering the foot a little below the instep, and lodged into

-the center of the heel about one inch from the bottom of the foot. On

-the 20th, firing all along the line. This ceased at 11 o’clock P. M.

-The Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade and division, has been in

-position on the left of the road leading from Springfield to the city

-of Savannah, with its main line in the timber, its right resting on the

-river. During the ten days the command remained in front of Savannah

-it took charge of large rice mills on the river, and supplied the men

-with rice. The quartermaster used large quantities for the train teams.

-At one time rice sold for fifty cents per quart (before the capture

-of Fort McAllister, on December 13th, 1864). The rebels in our front

-were behind a heavy line of works, which was surmounted with large

-timber called head logs, with port holes in their front. At their rear

-was a large body of timber, their right rested on the river, where

-they had constructed two forts, one near the river, and the other a

-short distance west along their line, where they had a strong position

-behind sand bags. But our lines were advancing nearer every day, and

-during the night of December 20th they evacuated their works, and

-fell back to Savannah, crossing the river into South Carolina. At 4

-A. M., on the 21st day of December, the Twenty-ninth fell in, and moved

-in the advance of the brigade to the front. Passing the rifle-pits,

-it filed to the left, across the canal near the rebel fort, finding

-their works and entire line evacuated. We moved on in the direction of

-Savannah. On reaching the city, the Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth

-Pennsylvania regiments moved down the river to Fort Jackson, which

-had been evacuated and set on fire. The regiments reached the fort at

-9 A. M., and at 12 o’clock at night the rebels blew up their gunboat

-Beauregard. We remained at the fort until December 24th, with the usual

-routine of camp and garrison duty. In the meantime the Twenty-ninth

-took an inventory of the ordnance and ordnance stores captured by

-the Twenty-ninth regiment and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania in Fort

-Jackson and other forts along the Savannah river. On the 24th instant

-the regiment was ordered to move at 9 A. M. The Twenty-ninth, in rear

-of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania volunteers, marched to the city of

-Savannah, passing through it, and encamping on the west side.

-

-On the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th, fixing company quarters, and

-attending to the usual routine of camp and guard duty. Friday, the

-30th, the army reviewed. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved from camp

-at 8:30 A. M., and marched to Liberty street in the city of Savannah,

-where it joined the brigade formed on the left, in prolongation with

-the Sixty-sixth regiment of Ohio volunteers. After review it returned

-to its old camp at 2 o’clock P. M. Saturday, the 31st, inspection and

-muster for pay at 10 A. M.

-

-January 1, 1865, monthly inspection at 2 o’clock P. M. 2d, 3d, 4th and

-5th, nothing occurred except the usual camp duty. 6th, 7th, 8th and

-9th, in camp, and up to the 18th the Twenty-ninth was doing camp duty,

-and on the 18th received news of the fall of Fort Fisher. From the 19th

-to the 25th engaged in camp duty and regimental drill.

-  “Captain W. T. Forbes, assistant adjutant general:

-

- “In compliance with circular order No. 144, I have the honor to submit

- the following report of the operations of this brigade, from the

- capture of Atlanta, September 2, 1864, to the occupation of Savannah,

- Georgia, December 21, 1864, etc., etc.... December 2d, the march was

- resumed at daybreak and was uninterrupted until Buckhead creek was

- reached. The bridge over this place was partially destroyed, and a few

- of the enemy’s cavalry were on the opposite side of the swamp. Major

- Wright, commanding the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, was ordered to

- cross the creek with his regiment and drive and keep away this force,

- which was accomplished without loss. The command camped for the night

- near Buckhead church.... December 12th to December 20th inclusive,

- a substantial line of works was thrown up for the protection of the

- command from the artillery of the enemy, and in addition to this two

- forts, with thirteen embrasures in the aggregate, were constructed by

- the command. The working parties on Fort No. 2 were under the command

- of Captain Kreicler, One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania

- volunteers, and those on Fort No. 3 under command of Captain E. B.

- Woodbury, Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers. Both these officers and the

- men under their command are deserving of praise for the energy and

- perseverance manifested in the prosecution of the duty assigned them.

-

- “December 21st, the enemy having evacuated their position the

- night previous, their works were occupied at an early hour by the

- skirmishers of the division, and by sunrise the city of Savannah was

- entered and occupied, this brigade being in line in the advance into

- the city. Soon after reaching the city, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania

- and Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, under command of Colonel John Flynn,

- were, by order of the commanding-general of division, through Captain

- Veale, aide-de-camp, dispatched to occupy Fort Jackson and the smaller

- forts and batteries near it. The possession of the forts and other

- works was gained with but slight resistance.

-

- “Inventory of ordnance and ordnance stores captured by the

- Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania

- in Fort Jackson and other forts on the Savannah river:

- Forty-four thirty-two-pounders, two ten-inch Columbiads, twenty

- eight-inch Columbiads, two rifled thirty-two-pounders, twelve

- twenty-four-pounder howitzers, one eight-inch mortar, three

- three-inch rifled field-pieces, etc., etc. Of the ninety-one guns

- captured, fourteen only were found to have been spiked and shotted.

- The gun-carriages were broken and temporarily disabled, and all the

- implements were broken and destroyed.

-

- “To the regimental commanders I tender my thanks for the strict

- obedience to orders, and the enforcement of the regulation prescribed

- in regard to the conduct of the march, and especially are they due to

- Major M. T. Wright, Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was seriously

- wounded while supervising the working parties on the forts, for the

- promptitude exhibited by him in the execution of all orders, and his

- strict attention to the duties incumbent on him throughout the entire

- campaign.

-EXTRACT--OFFICIAL REPORT OF GENERAL GEARY.

-

- “December 29th, a conference of the division and brigade commanders

- with the general commanding the corps, was held at 10 A. M. to-day,

- with the view to the adoption of a plan for storming the enemy’s

- works, as soon as the heavy guns should be in readiness to open fire.

- Fort No. 1 was finished this evening. The details from the First and

- Third brigades continued work on the other forts during the night,

- under a heavy artillery fire from the enemy. Several casualties

- occurred, among them Major Wright, a most valuable officer, commanding

- the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was severely wounded by a shell.

- Sloan’s battery of three-inch rifled guns had already taken position

- in a work thrown up to the right of Fort 3, and in the open field.

-

- “December 20th. The usual artillery firing and sharp shooting to-day.

- By this evening we had constructed and in readiness for use in the

- contemplated assault, two hundred large straw fascines, to fill up

- ditches in front of the enemy’s works; also a large number of fascines

- made of bamboo-cane. The latter were to be used for bridging the canal

- by laying them across baulks, which were furnished from the pontoon

- train for that purpose. The work on Forts 2 and 3 was well advanced

- to-day, and would probably be completed to-night. Three siege-guns

- (thirty-pounder Parrotts) were brought down this evening and mounted

- in Fort No. 2. I ascertained this morning that the enemy had completed

- a pontoon bridge from Savannah across to the South Carolina shore, and

- notified the general commanding corps of the discovery. This bridge

- was about two and a half miles from my left. The usual artillery

- firing was kept up by the enemy during the day and night. During the

- night I heard the movement of troops and wagons across the pontoon

- bridge before mentioned, and sent a report of the fact to the general

- commanding corps. Leaving one of my staff to watch the sounds in that

- direction, I notified my officer of the day and brigade commanders

- to keep a vigilant watch upon the enemy, as they were probably

- evacuating. The details on Forts 2 and 3 continued working through the

- night, the enemy shelling them heavily.

-

- “December 21st. After 3 o’clock this morning the firing ceased, and my

- pickets advancing to the enemy’s line, found them hastily retreating.

- Having possession of their line of works with all their cannon in

- front of my own and the other division of the corps, I immediately

- sent a staff officer to notify the general commanding, and at the

- same time pushed forward rapidly in the direction of Savannah, hoping

- to overtake and capture a part of the enemy’s force. My skirmishers

- deployed and swept over all the ground between the evacuated works

- and the Ogeechee canal, from the river to the Augusta road, while my

- main body of troops marched rapidly by the flank through McAlpin’s

- plantation to the Augusta road, and on into the city. Just outside

- of the city limits near the junction of the Louisville and Augusta

- roads, I met the mayor of Savannah and a delegation from the board of

- alderman, bearing a flag of truce. From them I received in the name

- of my commanding general the surrender of the city. This was at 4:30

- A. M., and I sent immediately another staff officer to announce the

- surrender to the general commanding the corps. He had considerable

- difficulty in passing the line of another division of this corps on

- the Augusta road, but finally convinced them that he belonged to

- the Twentieth corps and not to the enemy. In the meantime my entire

- division entered the city of Savannah at early dawn, and before the

- sun first gilded the morning clouds, our National colors, side by side

- with those of my own division, were unfurled from the dome of the

- exchange, and over the United States custom house. The brigade which

- led on entering the city, was at once ordered to patrol it, reduce it

- to order and quiet, and prevent any pillaging or lawlessness on the

- part either of soldiers or citizens. My orders on the subject were

- very strict, and within a few hours this city, in which I had found

- a lawless mob of low whites and negroes pillaging and setting fire

- to property, was reduced to order. Many millions of dollars worth of

- cotton, ordnance and commissary stores, etc., which would have been

- otherwise destroyed, were saved to the United States Government, and

- the citizens once more enjoyed security under the protection of that

- flag which again waved over them, exactly four years since the passage

- by the State of South Carolina of the Secession Act.

-

- “Two regiments from Pardee’s brigade, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania

- and Twenty-ninth Ohio veteran volunteers, were sent down to Fort

- Jackson, and early in the morning had possession of it and all the

- intermediate and surrounding works. The iron-plated ram, Savannah,

- which lay in the river below the city, threw shells at these two

- regiments as they flung the stars and stripes to the breeze from the

- walls of Fort Jackson. All the other gun-boats of the enemy had been

- fired by them and burned to the water’s edge.

-

- “On the arrival of the major-general commanding the left wing, I was,

- by his order, placed in command of the city. Until nearly 10 A. M.

- continued firing was heard in the direction of Beaulieu, and supposing

- that a portion of the enemy might still be south of us, I kept one

- brigade under arms during the forenoon. Three rebel flags were

- captured by my command, which will be duly forwarded.

-

-  “I am, Colonel, very-respectfully

-  Your obedient servant,

-  JOHN W. GEARY,

-  Brigadier-general commanding Second division Twentieth

-  corps.”

-

-The new flag for the Twenty-ninth regiment, contributed by the citizens

-of Summit and Ashtabula counties, was accompanied by the following

-letter from Colonels Buckley and Fitch. The receipt of the new flag is

-gracefully acknowledged by the letter of Mr. G. W. Holloway, appended

-thereto, which letter was accompanied by the old flag, which had been

-borne by this gallant regiment in so many bloody battles.

-

-  AKRON, May, 1865.

-

- COL. JONAS SCHOONOVER. DEAR SIR:--We have the honor and pleasure of

- forwarding to the gallant old Twenty-ninth another national flag,

- the gift of its old friends in Ashtabula and Summit counties. This

- is the third national flag given the regiment from the same source.

- It is certainly a strong proof that its friends still believe it to

- be one of the bravest of the brave of the many noble regiments Ohio

- has given to fight this great battle. If the regiment had no other

- proof than its old and tattered flags, that alone would show that it

- had been in the thickest of the fight, ever ready to breast the fury

- of the battle storm; but its history tells us that it has borne an

- honorable part in nearly a score of the hardest fought battles of the

- war. Citizen soldiers, take this flag and bear it aloft wherever duty

- calls, and your friends will take your past record as a guarantee that

- it will never be dishonored by the Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran Volunteer

- Infantry. Colonel, please remember us to the dear old Twenty-ninth,

- and accept for yourself our best wishes.

-

-  LEWIS P. BUCKLEY,

-  WILLIAM T. FITCH,

-  Old Cols. of the Twenty-ninth Ohio.

-  HEADQUARTERS TWENTY-NINTH OHIO,      }

-  BLADENSBURG, MARYLAND, June 5, 1865. }

-

-  Colonels Buckley and Fitch, and S. A. Lane, Esq.:

-

- GENTLEMEN:--In the name of the officers and men of the Twenty-ninth

- Ohio veteran volunteer infantry, I herewith acknowledge the receipt

- of the beautiful flag presented the regiment, and in return I present

- to you the old one, which it has been our proud honor to carry

- victoriously over many hard-fought battlefields. That dear “old flag”

- which has been our companion through years of fearful war and carnage,

- and which symbolizes our glorious nationality, tells its own story.

- We return it to you, but not so beautiful in form and color as when

- presented to us eighteen months ago. But whilst its external beauty

- has been defaced, yet the great life-giving principles of which it is

- the exponent, are all the more deeply enshrined in the hearts of its

- defenders, and Liberty receives through this standard another bright

- and shining star to her beautiful constellation. Take it, then, and

- place it among the archives of the nation, that it may be preserved as

- a sacred memorial, and handed down to latest posterity as a glorious

- legacy and standard that was borne, as by angel hands, in opposition

- to oppression and rebellion. Be assured that it is with a renewed

- national pride that we look upon this beautiful flag presented to

- the Twenty-ninth Ohio, by the patriotic and loyal citizens of Summit

- and Ashtabula counties. The past history of almost four years in

- war, speaks for our conduct as soldiers and patriots for the future.

- We promise never to desert this flag, nor will we permit traitors

- or rebels to wrest it from our hands. We will always be willing and

- ready to unfurl it in defense of the principles of our glorious, free

- Republic. Truly our country’s faith has learned a new interpretation

- of her standard. The white typifies the purity of purpose which

- belongs to her true ruler; the red points to the crimson tide in which

- life flows forth a willing offering; the blue reminds her of her home

- in heaven, to which all the good are gathered; the stars in her banner

- tell of light in darkness, and she shall learn to range them in a new

- and beautiful order, as the constellation of the cross. It is that

- flag which has solved most conclusively the long disputed problem of

- a free republican form of government. It was that flag which was so

- bravely and triumphantly carried through the ordeal of war by our

- Revolutionary sires, and encircled them with a halo of glory that

- shall be handed down untarnished to millions of unborn freemen. It

- was that flag which, under God, enabled our forefathers to gain our

- glorious independence, and here, in this beautiful land of lakes and

- rivers, rear a temple of liberty which stands first among the nations

- of the earth, the envy and admiration of all. It is the flag which we

- have learned to love and to defend, and which we cherish in our hearts

- as the guardian angel of our country.

-

- May that same God who has given so many brave hearts to defend it,

- continue to preserve it, and may it give light and liberty to millions

- who are yet groaning under tyranny and oppression. But we would not

- pass by unnoticed the many noble brave men who offered themselves a

- willing sacrifice upon our country’s altar in defense of that national

- banner. The voices of our fallen comrades are borne to us in solemn

- silence by every breeze that fans our brow. The South is billowed with

- the graves where sleep the patriot martyrs of constitutional liberty,

- until the resurrection morn. We hold them dear to our hearts, for

- may it never be forgotten that their deeds of valor facilitated the

- consummation of the glorious results which have just been achieved.

- Though they be dead, they yet speak, and will continue to speak to

- the end of all time, and dear to each patriot heart will ever be the

- memory of those who died in defense of the Union.

-

-      “There are many

-  Patriots have toiled in their country’s cause,

-  Bled nobly, and their deeds, as they deserve,

-  Receive proud recompense. We give in charge

-  Their names to the sweet lyre. The historic muse

-  Proud of her charge, marches with it down

-  To latest time: and sculpture, in her turn,

-  Gives bond, in stone and ever-during brass,

-  To guard and immortalize her trust.”

-

-At Bladensburg we went into camp, and remained until June 10. Marched

-to Washington at 8 P. M., and embarked on the cars of the Baltimore &

-Ohio railroad and steamed away homeward, bound to Parkersburg by way

-of Grafton, West Virginia, thence by boat to Louisville, Kentucky;

-moved five miles into the country, where we remained until the 13th

-day of July, when we were mustered out. Repairing to Camp Taylor, near

-Cleveland, Ohio, we were paid off and formally discharged from the

-service on the 22d and 23d days of July, 1865.

-

-We have now followed the regiment through nearly four years of the

-most arduous service which ever fell to the lot of any organization

-of this character, marching and fighting through most of the States

-in rebellion, its pathway marked by the graves of our comrades who

-fell. In the interim, hundreds of the brave 1540 who were upon its

-rolls, pass under the charge of the worse than fiends of hell, who

-presided at Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and other courts of

-death, by courtesy called rebel prisons, where, after being robbed

-of all they possessed, and even stripped of necessary clothing, they

-were subjected to a systematic course of starvation (and that, too,

-under the immediate supervision of that foul blot upon humanity, Jeff

-Davis) until their brave spirits went out to the God who gave them.

-In the army of the East, with the army of the West, with Sherman in

-the glorious march to the sea, and the brilliant campaign of the

-Carolinas--where there was danger and death--shone the “white star” of

-the Twenty-ninth. The skirmish line and the advance became so nearly

-the normal condition of the regiment that assignment to positions less

-dangerous elicited exclamations of surprise from the “boys.”

-

-At length the last ditch, so frequently referred to by the braggart

-rebels, was reached--chivalrous Jeff Davis in hoc and crinoline begged

-that mercy be shown to “woman and children.” The bubble secessia burst,

-and the command, now reduced to a mere handful, turn sadly northward,

-its columns “gaping from the havoc of shot and shell, and the disease

-of the camp, and prison pen, its colors ragged and torn, but proud

-and defiant as ever--one grand ovation to the living, a sad wailing

-requiem for the dead,” and “good byes” are said in the beautiful

-Forest city, as each departed for their homes to assume the peaceful

-avocations of four years before.

-

-Gradually they have drifted away--some to a quiet nook in the country

-church yard, and others to the east, west, and south, until now they

-may be found in nearly every State and Territory in this vast Union.

-Annually they come together in re-union at some convenient point in

-Puritan Western Reserve, and

-

-  “Fight their battles o’er again.”

-

-Each year a committee is appointed whose duty it is to draft

-resolutions of condolence to the memory of the comrades whose “final

-statements” have been called for since the last meeting, and this

-committee _always have something to do_. Each yearly roll call is

-shorter than its predecessor, and it does not require a long look into

-the future to find only the roll--no one to call it, and none to answer

-to their names if called.

-

-  Absent “comrades, gone before us

-  In the ‘great review’ to pass--

-  Never more to earthly chieftain

-  Dipping colors as ye pass--

-  Heaven accord ye gentle judgment

-  As before the throne ye pass.”

-

-While almost within gun shot of the site of the canvass covered field

-of 1861, busily engaged in well nigh vain endeavors to retain his grip

-upon the “ragged edge” of a somewhat precarious existence, and but

-a few laps in advance of the grim gentleman with the hour glass and

-scythe, abides

-

-GENERAL REVIEW.

-

-

-The following review of the battles, sieges, marches, and campaigns in

-which the Twenty-ninth regiment was engaged, is from the pen of Colonel

-Jonas Schoonover. It gives in brief the important work of the regiment

-during its nearly four years’ service, and should the “gentle reader”

-find the descriptive portion of the history too voluminous, she has but

-to turn to this review to find consolation.

-

-Beginning with the service in the winter of 1861-2, along the waters

-of the Potomac and its tributaries, and in the mountain regions of

-Hampshire county, the Romney expedition in West Virginia, the advance

-to Winchester via Little mountain and Martinsburg, thence into the

-Shenandoah valley. The Strasburg march, which ended in the battle of

-Winchester, where the Federal army, under General Shields, and the

-rebels, commanded by General T. J. Jackson, at Kernstown, engaged in a

-sanguinary battle on March 23d, 1862, in which the Union army gained a

-victory. The Twenty-ninth Ohio done its full share, suffering slight

-loss in killed and wounded. The march up the valley to Madisonburg;

-the long march to Fredericksburg, leaving the Shenandoah valley at

-New Market on the 12th day of May, 1862, and reaching Fredericksburg

-May 22, 1862, a day or two later returning to Luray via Warrenton

-and Front Royal, up the Luray valley to Port Republic, where, on the

-9th day of June, it engaged in battle with heavy loss in killed and

-wounded. One hundred and ten were made prisoners. The Twenty-ninth

-was engaged at short range in the open field against three times its

-number over four hours. During the time the struggle was desperate on

-both sides. The battle of Cedar mountain, seven miles from Culpepper

-Courthouse, on August 9th, the Union army under Banks, the rebels under

-Longstreet, the Twenty-ninth was engaged in the open field without

-cover, and sustained considerable loss. Then followed the retrograde

-move to Culpepper; the campaign of General Pope, including the second

-battle of Bull Run; and the march to Frederick City; the winter and

-spring campaign of 1862 and 1863, under Major-general Joseph Hooker,

-at Dumfries, was memorable for its intense suffering; then came the

-march to Chancellorsville, and the battle there, which began May 1st,

-and ended on the 3d, in which the Twenty-ninth suffered heavy loss and

-was the last to leave the field. May 5th we crossed the Rappahannock on

-our way to Gettysburg via Aqua creek, Dumfries, Fairfax Court House,

-Leesburg, Edward’s Ferry, Harper’s Ferry, Frederick, and Littletown,

-where we fought one of the most determined battles of the war,

-commencing on the 1st and ending on the 4th day of July, 1863.

-

-We returned to Virginia; moved to New York to quell riots; returned

-again; advanced to the Rapidan; reported to the Department of the

-Cumberland, via the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, crossing the Ohio

-river at Bellaire. On September 30th, we passed through Columbus,

-Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky, and halted at

-Murfreesboro, Tennessee. In October we passed down to Stevenson and

-Bridgeport, Alabama, and up the Tennessee river to Wauhatchie valley.

-

-On November 24th and 25th, we were engaged in the battle of Lookout

-mountain; Missionary Ridge on November 24th and 25th, and Taylor’s

-Ridge and Ringgold, Georgia, on November 26th and 27th, 1863.

-

-In December of the same year we re-enlisted, and during the winter

-we prepared for a vigorous and active campaign in the early spring

-of 1864. On May 3d, we left Bridgeport, Alabama, on the Georgia

-campaign, passing around Lookout Mountain, Rossville, and Crawfish

-springs. On May 8th, the Twenty-ninth regiment took an active part

-in the battle of Dug Gap, Georgia, where it distinguished itself for

-bravery unparalleled in modern history; every fourth man was killed or

-wounded. We moved on to Resaca, and in the fight of the 14th our loss

-was light. We moved on to Calhoun, Adairsville, Kingston, and Cassville

-on May 21st. In the battle of Pumpkin Vine Creek (or Dallas) from May

-25th to the 28th, we met with some loss. In the battle of Pine Knob on

-June 15th, the Twenty-ninth suffered severe loss. Many of its brave

-heroes, whose valor will ever be held in memory by every survivor

-of the Twenty-ninth regiment, were killed. The battles of Lost and

-Kenesaw Mountain were on June 20th and 27th, and we advanced to the

-Chattahoochie river, via Marietta, Georgia, and then to the battle of

-Peach Tree Creek.

-

-The Georgia campaign, from May 8th until the evacuation of Atlanta on

-September 2, 1864, a period of four months, was one continuous battle.

-The marching through Georgia was a glorious achievement, and will ever

-be recorded as one of the most brilliant feats in this or any other

-war. In Sherman’s grand march to the sea and the siege and capture of

-Savannah, Georgia, the Twenty-ninth did its full share. It was engaged

-from December 10th to the 21st, when it entered the city of Savannah.

-On January 27, 1865, we moved on the campaign through the Carolinas,

-and were engaged in the following battles, and skirmishes of this

-campaign; Averysboro, North Carolina, on March 16th; Bentonville,

-North Carolina, on March 19, 1865, and marching to Goldsboro on March

-24th. After Johnston’s army at Raleigh, North Carolina, and the final

-march through Virginia to Washington in May, 1865, we took part in the

-grand review, thence to Louisville, Kentucky, on to Camp Taylor at

-Cleveland, Ohio, and home. The regiment was in the service nearly four

-years, and it is but justice to state that during its entire term it

-was _never driven from its position by direct assault_.

-TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES

-

-This ebook was transcribed by a native of the state of Ohio.

-

-This book transcription is dedicated to Thadeus “Ted” Slade, also a

-native Ohioan and the biggest Civil War history buff I know.

-

-Some punctuation has been standardized. Some alternate spellings

-may have been retained. Some obvious misspellings and typographical

-errors/omissions have been corrected. Any other changes are noted below.

-

-Some inconsistencies in human or place names were corrected by

-correlating with names elsewhere in the text.

-

-The errata from the original book was applied to this text.

-

-p. 60: Inserted a probable missing beginning of paragraph. (“[It] is

-perhaps unnecessary”)

-

-p. 64: Corrected year in chapter description from 1862 to 1863. The

-Battle of Chancellorsville took place in 1863, and the end of the prior

-chapter also indicates we are in mid-1863 at this point in the journal.

-

-p. 120: Corrected date “August 2st” to August 1st (“August 1st to 3d,

-hot firing all the time.”). The phrasing “to” vs. “and” makes a date

-range of larger than two days likely, and it’s more reasonable to

-believe the printer misplaced 2 for 1, than misplaced “st” for “nd”.

-

-p. 143: Corrected time from 6:30 to 9:30 (“at 9:30 fell in and marched

-six miles as rear guard to the Twentieth army corps”). It’s not logical

-that they would move from 8:00am back to 6:30am in the journal. The

-printer presumably set 6 in place of 9, or inverted the 9.

-

-p. 232: Corrected the discharge date for John H. Finneman (confirmed

-using records found on civilwarindex.com on January 23, 2021). As

-printed, the date was June 18, 1865.

-

-p. 241: Corrected Lysander T. King’s company from “T” to “F” per the

-company F listing on p. 206.

-Defect you cause.

-

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

-

-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of

-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of

-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It

-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations

-from people in all walks of life.

-

-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's

-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will

-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project

-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure

-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future

-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary

-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

-www.gutenberg.org

-

-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary

-Archive Foundation

-

-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit

-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the

-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal

-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification

-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary

-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by

-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

-

-The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,

-Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up

-to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website

-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

-

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg

-Literary Archive Foundation

-

-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without

-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of

-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be

-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest

-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations

-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt

-status with the IRS.

-

-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United

-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a

-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up

-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations

-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND

-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular

-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

-

-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we

-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition

-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who

-approach us with offers to donate.

-

-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from

-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

-

-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation

-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other

-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To

-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works

-

-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project

-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be

-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and

-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of

-volunteer support.

-

-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed

-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in

-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not

-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper

-edition.

-

-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search

-facility: www.gutenberg.org

-

-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,

-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary

-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to

-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+COMRADES AND FRIENDS:
+
+On the twentieth anniversary of the organization of the Twenty-ninth
+regiment Ohio Veteran volunteer infantry, Comrade J. H. SeCheverell
+was instructed to prepare a history of the same, and the undersigned
+were appointed a committee to supervise its publication. Comrade
+SeCheverell, after months of perplexing labor, completed the manuscript
+which was examined by us in Cleveland, July 19, 1882. It was then
+decided to issue fifty proof copies of the work to be put into the
+hands of members of the regiment for such additions or corrections as
+should be found necessary. This was done, and after the return of the
+proofs and the incorporation of whatever corrections they contained,
+Comrade SeCheverell visited Akron, and spent several days with Colonel
+Schoonover, to whom was intrusted the corrections for that vicinity,
+and it is with no small degree of satisfaction that we now present
+the work to the comrades and friends of the regiment with our hearty
+endorsement, believing it _as complete and perfect as it is possible to
+make it_.

+being simply to preserve from oblivion the record of the valiant deeds

+that in the dim, distant future, when each comrade shall have answered

+emblem of a now united people, whose supremacy preserved for them the
+blessings of this great country, the best beneath the ethereal vault of
+heaven.

+The reader will mark the entire absence of personal laudation so common
+in works of this class, and the crowding of a few favored ones to the
+front to the exclusion of the hundreds of equally brave and meritorious
+men in perhaps lowly positions. That the fortunes of war brought many
+forward with flattering prominence is most true, and that thousands who
+wore the simple blouse of blue and carried the musket were possessed of
+merit as great is also true. To have been a member of the Twenty-ninth
+Regiment Ohio Veteran Volunteers is glory enough for a lifetime. If you
+did your duty, it is well; if you failed, printers’ ink will not make a
+hero of you. Then let each be content with the happy assurance that he
+did what he could for the flag.

+complete casualty list at the close of the volume; also, to Samuel B.
+Smith, adjutant-general of Ohio, Hon. E. B. Taylor, Colonel Edward
+Hayes, Jonas Schoonover, Captain R. H. Baldwin, George W. Holloway;
+the members of the very efficient revisory committee, Captains D.
+W. Thomas, T. W. Nash, Lieutenant T. E. Hoyt, Sergeant E. F. Mason,
+and C. H. Coon; the Ashtabula Sentinel, Jefferson Gazette, and the
+Akron Daily News, for numerous courtesies extended to him, during the
+preparation of this work; and to each comrade and friend who has aided
+him in his labors, to name all of whom would require many pages. He has
+conscientiously endeavored to make the volume free from errors. If he
+has succeeded it will be the first of its kind. However, such as it is,
+it is presented to the regiment and its friends with the belief that it
+contains much of value.

+
+INTRODUCTION.
+
+
+The author of this volume has honored me with an invitation to write an
+“Introduction.” A book without a preface would be an anomaly: in other
+words, out of harmony with established usage; not strictly important,
+but answering much the same purpose as the “whereas” preceding the
+resolutions of the convention.
+
+I have not been permitted to read the author’s manuscript, yet I do not
+hesitate to assure the reader that as he peruses the pages of the book
+he will find much to entertain and profit. To the veteran who enlisted
+and fought in the historic “Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran volunteer
+infantry” it will be read with especial interest. The eye will moisten,
+and the heart swell with mingled emotions as he is reminded again of
+the varying scenes of the camp, the march, and the battle. Others, too
+young to remember anything of the war, but who have heard the stories
+of the conflict from their fathers, will read this historic sketch of
+the old regiment with the greatest avidity.
+
+We well remember the author as “Hamp,” the drummer boy of Company B,
+his boyish look, with his neatly-fitting suit of blue, and the tenor
+drum suspended from his neck, while with nimble fingers he plied the
+ebony sticks in beating the tattoo, reveille, or the “long roll.”
+
+He has done a real and invaluable service to his comrades in gathering
+up and condensing in neat and durable form so many interesting facts
+relating to the work of a noble regiment. So much, at least, is saved
+from oblivion.
+
+In writing the history of any war only a mere outline can be thought
+of. Anything like a full and detailed account of what happened is out
+of the question. Neither time nor space would permit.
+
+The multiplied thousands who carried their muskets and knapsacks
+on foot all over “Dixie,” and who really did the hard work of the
+conflict, must be massed in history even as in war they were massed
+against the foe. Their individual deeds of daring and suffering were
+not a whit behind those of the great Wellingtons, Washingtons, and
+Grants. The latter were in positions to glide easily into history,
+and have their heroic deeds emblazoned and read in the books of every
+nation. The former may have loved their country as well and fought as
+bravely for her honor, and yet die in obscurity, “to fortune and to
+fame unknown.”
+
+Dr. SeCheverell has doubtless done his best under the circumstances
+to do justice to the name of every member of the old Twenty-ninth. It
+was known as the Giddings’ regiment, in honor of the Hon. Joshua R.
+Giddings, for twenty consecutive years a member of the lower house of
+Congress.
+
+Perhaps no man during his time did more than Mr. Giddings to create
+public opinion in favor of the freedom of the slave. The regiment was
+raised almost entirely within the bounds of his old district, and it
+was fitting that it should bear his name. But I remember that when
+recruiting it a frequent objection to enlistment was that should any
+member of the regiment be so unfortunate as to be taken prisoner by
+the “Rebs,” he would be forthwith shot, hung, or burnt at the stake,
+particularly on Giddings’ account, and that the name would be so
+odious in the South, and would so advertise the regiment that every
+member would be especially hunted down and exterminated.
+
+I think “Hamp” has failed utterly to ascertain that any prisoner from
+the Twenty-ninth was thus punished, although many of the boys were
+often in rebel hands.
+
+I have ever considered myself fortunate and honored in having been
+associated with such a regiment.
+
+I was duly appointed and commissioned as the first chaplain, holding
+the position one year, resigning at the expiration of that time, and
+receiving an honorable discharge from the service.
+
+Of the officers of the regiment much might be said. Nobody who ever
+knew Colonel Buckley will ever forget him. A brave man, a great admirer
+of order and discipline, faultlessly neat and tidy, a confirmed
+dyspeptic; yet the most ticklish and fun provoking humor often cropped
+out in his conversation and intercourse with men. One morning, away
+down between Bull Run and Fredericksburg, when the tired and jaded men
+were in line for the day’s march, the Colonel was in his saddle with
+his toes daintily touching the stirrups, his pale, clean shaven face
+shaded by the visor of his blue cap, from beneath which his practiced
+eye swept the whole regiment at a glance, while his well-polished
+sword, firmly gripped, stood perpendicular, resting against the
+shoulder; with a stentorian voice he published the following order:
+“Men of the Twenty-ninth, let there be no straggling on the march
+to-day. But if any of you do straggle take Twenty-ninth off from your
+caps and put on One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania.”
+
+The joke on the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania was fully
+appreciated and immensely enjoyed (a regiment noted for straggling).
+With roars of laughter the boys shouldered their muskets and knapsacks
+for another hard day’s march through the pine barrens.
+
+Lieutenant-colonel Clark is remembered as a staunch advocate of
+temperance, whose interests were ever for the men.
+
+Major Clemmer, as a genial, bluff soldier, whose songs often enlivened
+the dreariness of the camp or bivouac; and Quartermaster Gibbs, as a
+man of prompt execution, who expected equal promptness from others.
+Many anecdotes and incidents of them could be narrated by the page, but
+I remember that the introduction to the volume is not the place for
+sketches of this kind; and I fear that I have already introduced much
+that does not strictly belong to this part of the book. I beg pardon
+for any seeming trespass in this direction.
+
+This introduction, written in the midst of other pressing duties, with
+frequent interruptions, now most affectionately inscribes this volume
+to every member of the Twenty-ninth regiment of Ohio Veteran volunteer
+infantry; to their wives and their children.
+
+I am happy to enjoy this privilege of saying a few words in Dr.
+SeCheverell’s book to my old comrades. My prayer is that God will bless
+every surviving member of the regiment, with their families, also the
+widows and orphans of deceased members, and that when the battle of
+life is over, we may wear the victor’s crown in heaven.

+TWENTY-NINTH O. V. V. I.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER I.
+
+The South Preparing for War--The Fall of Sumter--The Grand Rally to the
+Support of the Flag--Formation of the Regiment.
+
+
+President Lincoln, in his inaugural address of March 4, 1861, said:
+“I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the
+institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe that I
+have no lawful right, and I have no inclination to do so.” The South
+had apparently decided otherwise, and continued the preparations for
+secession, begun under the administration of, and so ably seconded by
+that old imbecile, James Buchanan.
+
+The outlook became so fraught with danger to the Union, that on April
+7th a naval expedition sailed from New York to the relief of Fort
+Sumter. Its arrival off Charleston harbor was followed by a furious
+bombardment of the fort by the rebel batteries of General Beauregard.
+The capitulation on April 13th, of the little handful of gallant men
+who so bravely defended their country’s flag, was followed by an
+outburst of patriotic indignation perhaps never before witnessed in
+the history of the world. In an incredibly short space of time the
+President’s call for seventy-five thousand men was filled by citizens
+eagerly marching to the defense of the National capital.
+
+The rebels meanwhile were busily engaged in appropriating or destroying
+the available arms and munitions of war belonging to the Government.
+At Bull Run, a few miles from Washington, General Beauregard massed
+his rebel horde, and here, on July 21st, General McDowell gratified
+the insane “On to Richmond” cry, by giving them battle. The result
+was the complete overthrow of the Union army, which retreated in the
+wildest disorder to Washington. This event cast a deep gloom over the
+entire North (barring the copperhead element). More than twice the time
+allowed by the knowing(?) ones to crush the Rebellion (sixty days)
+had elapsed, and yet it was growing stronger every day. The North was
+not yet awake to the magnitude of the work it had undertaken. The
+first patriotic outburst was on the wane; the sympathy of England and
+the encouragement given to the rebels by the “copperheads” in the
+North, gave a prestige to the Southern cause which, to many, bespoke
+the final success of treason. In this dark hour of our country’s
+peril, that brave old hero, Joshua R. Giddings, with B. F. Wade,
+E. B. Woodbury, and other well known associates, feeling that they
+had been disappointed in the acts of another regiment, made up in
+part of soldiers recruited in this district, obtained permission to
+organize regiment number Twenty-nine, which should be made up as far
+as possible, of those in political sympathy with the projectors. The
+report of the soldiers already returned from the three months’ service,
+and who were generally ready to go again, seemed to indicate who they
+wished for commanders. Major Lewis P. Buckley, of Akron, educated at
+West Point, was generally desired as colonel, and Thomas Clark, of
+Cleveland, formerly a cadet at Norwich university, Vermont, was for
+the same reason selected to commence the work. He was accordingly
+appointed major, on the 13th of August. Two days later he was mustered
+into service, and ordered to report at once to Jefferson, select a
+suitable location, and organize a camp. On the 17th he arrived at
+Jefferson, and a couple of days were spent in examining fields offered;
+at last the grounds of the County Agricultural Society were selected. A
+part of company A reported on the 19th, and company B in the afternoon
+of the same day. The camp equipage arrived on the 20th. On the 27th
+company C reported, and on September 10th, company D, and with this
+company came Colonel Buckley, who had just completed his service in the
+Nineteenth regiment.
+
+Following are the companies, in the order they entered the service,
+with the commanders and the localities from which they were recruited:
+Company A, Captain William F. Fitch, was recruited in Jefferson and
+vicinity, and Hartsgrove. Company B, Captain Wilbur F. Stevens, was
+recruited in Pierpont and vicinity, and Harpersfield. Company C,
+Captain Edward Hayes, was recruited in Andover and vicinity, Gustavus,
+Ohio, and Espyville, Pennsylvania. Company D, Captain Pulaski C. Hard,
+was recruited in Akron, Summit county. Company E, Captain Horatio Luce,
+was recruited in Conneaut and surrounding townships. Company F, Captain
+John F. Morse, was recruited in Painesville and Mentor, Lake county,
+and Montville, Geauga county. Company G, Captain John S. Clemmer, was
+recruited in Akron and vicinity. (Second Lieutenant W. P. Williamson,
+of this company, who was shot dead at the battle of Winchester,
+Virginia, March 23, 1862, was the first man in the regiment to die by
+rebel hands.) Company H, Captain Jonas Schoonover, was recruited in
+Akron and vicinity. Company I, Captain Russell B. Smith, was recruited
+in Medina county, and by transfers, and company K, Captain Alden P.
+Steele, was recruited from the various townships in Ashtabula county.
+
+The adverse causes before referred to, materially retarded the
+enlistment of the regiment, and it was not until about December 1st
+that the different company organizations were completed and the
+following staff officers elected:
+
+Colonel Lewis P. Buckley, Akron, Summit county.
+
+Lieutenant-colonel Thomas Clark, Cleveland, Cuyahoga county.
+
+Major John S. Clemmer, Mogadore, Summit county.
+
+Adjutant C. T. Chaffee, Jefferson, Ashtabula county.
+
+Quartermaster O. F. Gibbs, Harpersfield, Ashtabula county.
+
+Chaplain R. H. Hurlburt, Hartsgrove, Ashtabula county.
+
+Surgeon A. K. Fifield, M.D., Conneaut, Ashtabula county.
+
+Assistant Surgeon S. S. Burrows, M.D., Geneva, Ashtabula county.
+
+Commissary Henry Wright, Trumbull, Ashtabula county.
+
+Sergeant-major W. P. Williamson, Akron, Summit county.
+
+Quartermaster-sergeant M. D. Norris, Mesopotamia, Trumbull county.
+
+Hospital Steward E. P. Haynes, Atwater, Portage county.
+
+Fife-major Richard Noonan, Hudson, Summit county.
+
+Drum-major Gurley G. Crane, Cuyahoga Falls, Summit county.
+
+Leader regimental band Chauncey Brainard, Gustavus, Trumbull county.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+During the interim came the easy days of soldier life. Ah! those happy,
+golden days of camp life, when, with guard mount, battalion drill, and
+dress parade, the time passed swiftly away, and each heart beat high
+with patriotic desire for early marching orders; days looked back to
+from the dreary bivouac in the snow, tentless, and with clothing in
+tatters, scarce covering the form from the bitter, cutting winds of
+winter, or in the drizzling rain on the lonely outpost when sharp-eyed
+rebels only waited for the opportunity to send the leaden messenger
+of death whizzing in your direction. Sometimes the “boys” thought the
+rations were not sufficiently “gilt-edged,” quite too plain in fact,
+for the savers of the country’s honor, yet how often, while trying,
+almost in vain, with the half-pint of raw meal to keep the soul and
+the poor emaciated body together in those hell devised starvation
+traps--Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and Salisbury--did the brave
+fellows turn with longing hearts to the bounteous commissary at old
+Camp Giddings. Fears were oft expressed lest the war would close
+before the Twenty-ninth should be permitted to add its mite to the
+support of the flag. How needless they were the rolls show; more than
+one-third (five hundred and forty) of the one thousand five hundred and
+thirty-two members of the regiment, were either killed, wounded, or
+missing in action, and one hundred and fifty-seven died of disease. The
+colors, too, which waved so grandly in the sharp winter air, that long
+agone Christmas morning in 1861, are now in shreds, rent and torn by
+the leaden hail through which they were carried to glorious victories.
+
+This beautiful stand of colors was presented to the regiment on
+Wednesday, November 27th, by Hon. J. R. Giddings, on behalf of the
+donors, the ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties. Mr. Giddings
+spoke as follows: “Gentlemen, officers and soldiers. Before entering
+upon the particular duty assigned me on the present occasion, I may be
+permitted to congratulate you and the country, upon the completion of
+your regimental organization and the perfection of your preparation for
+the field. I desire you at all times to bear in mind the causes which
+led to its formation. The present rebellion has its origin far back in
+history. Its first overt acts were put forth in Congress by subjecting
+the people of the free States to gag rules, by striking down the right
+of petition, by arraigning and publicly censuring Representatives
+for the faithful discharge of duty, by annexing, unconstitutionally,
+slave territory, and extending and strengthening the encroachments of
+slavery. To these violent encroachments upon the constitutional rights
+of the free States, this Western Reserve has from the first, presented
+a very general resistance....
+
+“The ladies have prepared a splendid National and regimental stand of
+colors, and have imposed on me the pleasing duty of presenting them
+to the regiment. In all past ages civilized nations have gone forth
+to war under their own banner, on which was inscribed some device,
+figure, or emblem, peculiar to such nation. Thus each tribe among the
+Israelites had its particular banner. The early Christians fought under
+the cross, the Romans under the golden eagle, the Mohammedans under
+the crescent. The founders of our government selected for their colors
+a groundwork of blue, representing immutable justice and unlimited
+power, on which the stars, representing light, are twinkling in the
+vaulted heavens, while in mid ether the bird of Jove is floating, a
+fitting representation of the ease and power with which liberty and
+civilization are gliding over the earth; while the stars and stripes
+of red and white represent the vital principles and purity of our
+institutions.
+
+[Addressing Colonel Buckley]: “To you, sir, as commander, I present
+these beautiful standards, for the use and benefit of the regiment.
+On behalf of the fair donors I confide these National and regimental
+standards to the care of yourself, your gallant officers and men.
+Wherever you go let them be borne aloft and respected as the emblem
+of universal freedom to all who seek your protection. Preserve them
+unstained, except by the blood of your enemies. Bear in mind that you
+go forth to fight the battles of the human race for all coming time;
+and should the roar of cannon, the rattling of muskets, the clashing of
+sabres, the din and smoke of battle surround you, remember the cause in
+which you are engaged, and be assured that if you fall, we who are left
+will care for your widows and children. Your own heroic deeds shall be
+enshrined in our memories, recorded in our history, admired by coming
+generations, and approved by a holy and just God.”
+
+Colonel Buckley replied: “Respected Sir--I receive this stand of
+colors in behalf of the Twenty-ninth regiment. I return through you
+to the noble and patriotic ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties
+their grateful thanks; and whenever and wherever it is unfurled to the
+breeze, and we look upon its stars and stripes, may we then remember
+the generous donors and the vow we this day make. This flag, the flag
+of our country, which has been our pride and our boast, and which is
+respected by all civilized nations; this flag, thank God, shall yet
+wave triumphantly wherever it has been struck down by the ruthless arm
+of the traitors: and, companions, whenever we look upon this beautiful
+flag may it inspire us to redouble our energies to do our duty to our
+beloved country, and if God in his providence permits us to return to
+home and kindred, may this flag come back with us to bear witness that
+the Twenty-ninth regiment Ohio volunteers was in the thickest of the
+fight.
+
+“Sir, you have spoken in high commendation of my command. I can assure
+you I feel myself honored in having command of such a regiment. It
+will be my pride and ambition, with my fellow-officers to make it in
+all things pertaining to a well drilled and well disciplined regiment,
+one of the best in Ohio. And now, fellow-soldiers, in the presence of
+this assembly, and before high heaven, we swear upon the altar of our
+country to defend this flag so long as there shall be one true heart
+and strong arm to hold it to the breeze.”
+
+At last the “boys’” impatience to go anywhere but here, was gratified
+by an order to move to Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, the date
+December 25th; and right here it may not be amiss to give an extract
+from an editorial in the Ashtabula Sentinel, as showing what the people
+of Jefferson thought of the regiment:
+
+“They leave Jefferson with the respect and esteem of our citizens as an
+orderly and well behaved body of men. They have been over three months
+within our quiet village, during which time no disturbance has occurred
+and no depredations have been committed. They have proved themselves
+honorable men, the best evidence that they will be brave soldiers. When
+they are heard from in the fight we have no fears of a bad account.”

+CHAPTER II.
+
+The Departure from Camp Giddings--At the Front--Death of
+Lander--Advance up the Valley--Winchester.
+
+
+Christmas morning, 1861, dawned clear, with the earth bountifully
+covered with snow, and soon the busy preparations for this the first
+march were apparent everywhere. Knapsacks were packed, tents were
+struck, and the camp equipage snugly put into shape for transportation
+to Ashtabula, and at 10 o’clock the drums beat off. Then the regiment
+filed out of the enclosure, bidding a fond good-bye, many for the
+last time, to the old camp, up through the town, where everybody was
+waiting to wish the “boys” God speed. “Head of column left,” and
+the Twenty-ninth regiment was en-route for Ashtabula and the front,
+followed by the prayers of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and
+sweethearts, that its every effort might be crowned with success, and
+that, if heaven so willed, all might return safely to the arms of loved
+ones, “when the cruel war was over.” How beautiful they looked in
+their new uniform, and how gaily the bayonets glistened in the bright
+sunlight as each man kept step to the music.
+
+Arriving at Ashtabula, the regiment took cars, and was soon whirling
+rapidly towards Columbus, where it arrived the following day.
+
+On disembarking from the cars, a march of four miles on the National
+pike to the west brought the regiment to Camp Chase, where it was
+assigned to barracks, and the sweets (?) of soldier life began to
+be more perceptible. While lying here, the regiment attended the
+inauguration of David Tod as Governor of Ohio, and perfected itself in
+the school of the soldier. On the 26th day of January, 1862, the long
+roll again sounded; the Twenty-ninth regiment fell in, and marched to
+the depot, a distance of four miles. It took cars, and steamed away
+for Dixie, passing through Newark and Zanesville, and across the Ohio
+river at Bellair, thence via the Baltimore & Ohio railroad through the
+mountains of West Virginia to a point some six miles below Cumberland,
+Maryland, where it made its first camp in Dixie. There it was assigned
+to the left flank of the Third brigade (the Seventh Ohio volunteer
+infantry occupying the right), Colonel E. B. Tyler commanding, and
+here it may be well to state that from this time until the Seventh
+regiment was discharged the service (July 8, 1864), the two regiments
+occupied the same position, engaged in the same battles, and endured
+an equal amount of the hard service incident to the several campaigns.
+The Twenty-ninth remained in active service for nearly a year after
+the discharge of its well-bred friends of the Seventh and until the
+collapse of the Rebellion. This for the benefit of those who imagine
+that only one regiment was recruited in Northern Ohio.
+
+On February 5, 1862, a general movement was ordered to entrap the
+forces of Stonewall Jackson, then occupying Romney. The Twenty-ninth
+and its brigade took cars to French’s store, and marched some twenty
+miles to a point between Romney and Winchester to intercept the retreat
+of the rebels. The attempt was futile, however, as those whom the
+federals sought had flown ere the designated point was reached. This
+march was a terrible one, and told heavily on the men, many of whom
+succumbed to disease incident to exposure to the intense cold, the
+fording of streams whose icy waters were often waist deep, and the
+general hardships, were sent to hospital at Cumberland, and never
+returned to duty. Returning the following day, the regiment bivouacked
+at a point some eight miles from the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, known
+as Pine Levels or the Heights of Hampshire. Here it remained some ten
+days exposed to the intense cold, without tents, few blankets, on
+short rations, and no cooking utensils. Rude brush enclosures were
+constructed, which served the same purpose as Artemus Ward’s window
+sash, sort of “tangle the cold” or “keep out the coarsest.” It was by
+the greatest effort that the men were kept from freezing. This sort
+of thing seemed a pretty tough introduction to the “Sunny South,” but
+hardships of this kind became the normal experience of the Twenty-ninth
+regiment, and the sunny spots which occasionally intervened were duly
+appreciated.
+
+The next move was to the eastward to Paw Paw station on the Baltimore
+& Ohio railroad, near which the Twenty-ninth and its brigade went
+into camp. February 22d, Washington’s birthday, was duly observed. A
+general review was indulged in. The streets were prettily trimmed with
+evergreens; and arches, and other pretty devices were numerous. The
+Twenty-ninth were domiciled in small and nearly worn out wall tents.
+
+On Saturday, March 1st, as the shades of evening were falling, the
+Twenty-ninth and its command marched with two days’ rations, in the
+direction of Winchester, Virginia, the object being the capture of
+that important point. After an all night’s march the command halted,
+and, in a blinding snow storm, waited for further orders. At 5 o’clock
+P. M. a counter-march was ordered, and at about midnight the old camp
+at Paw Paw was reached. The object of this move was to attend the
+remains of brave General Lander to the cars, which was accomplished
+on the following day. All the troops in the vicinity were present. At
+9 o’clock on the morning of Saturday, March 8th, the command struck
+tents and marched to the railroad; at night took cars and moved in
+the direction of Martinsburg, en route for Winchester. Some two or
+three days were occupied in reaching the former place, as extreme
+caution was necessary. A burned bridge at Back creek stopped further
+steam locomotion, and on the 11th the command moved forward through
+Martinsburg, encamping some two miles out on the Winchester road. Here
+General James Shields, of some celebrity in the Mexican war, assumed
+command of the division, and the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania
+infantry volunteers was added to the brigade. The following morning the
+column continued the forward movement, under orders to join General
+Banks, in his attack on Winchester. The rebels retreated, and Shields’
+division went into camp to the north of Winchester, some four miles out
+on the Martinsburg pike.
+
+When the rebels first occupied Virginia General Johnston (commanding
+the extreme left of Beauregard’s army) took possession of Winchester.
+Troops from here destroyed the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and constantly
+harrassed our forces in the direction of Harper’s Ferry and Cumberland.
+It was of great importance that the Union arms gain and hold possession
+of this point, hence the concentration of Federal troops in this
+vicinity.
+
+Skirmishing with the enemy was a daily occurrence, and, on the morning
+of March 20th, a reconnoissance in force was made up the valley to
+Strasburg. General Shields, with the Twenty-ninth and its brigade,
+numbering some six thousand men, moved direct to that point, while
+Colonel Mason’s brigade advanced on the Front Royal road. At Cedar
+creek a lively artillery duel transpired, during which the rebels
+succeeded in burning the bridge. The following morning the entire
+command fell back to its camp below Winchester. This was a march which
+tested the men’s power of endurance to its utmost. The rain fell
+lightly but continuously during the day. For rations the men had barely
+one cracker each, and yet they made the entire distance--twenty-two
+miles--in seven hours, halting only a few minutes about noon.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER III.
+
+The Battle of Winchester or Kernstown--Stonewall Jackson Whipped.
+
+
+At Kernstown, some four miles south of Winchester, Jackson’s command,
+numbering fully fifteen thousand men, was massed, and on March 22d
+attacked the Union outposts. The citizens of Winchester, who, by the
+way, were about as thoroughly imbued with treason as at any point
+within the writer’s knowledge in the whole of the chivalrous (?) South,
+were in high glee at the prospect of being rid of those odious Lincoln
+hirelings, and some were so sanguine of success to the Southern arms
+that they prepared elegant repasts for the victors. However that may
+be, the rebel horde did not enter Winchester at this time, except,
+perhaps, a few dead ones carried there for burial.
+
+Soon after the firing began the First and Second brigades of General
+Shields’ division were moved to the front, and a lively skirmish
+ensued resulting in the repulse of the enemy. General Shields was
+wounded quite severely during this brief engagement, and at night,
+when active hostilities ceased, he retired to Winchester. The dawn of
+Sunday, March 23d, was heralded by the rapid boom of artillery and the
+lively rattle of musketry, as the advance of the two armies resumed
+the skirmishing of the previous afternoon. This was continued during
+nearly the entire forenoon. About noon the long roll beat throughout
+our camp; quickly the men fell into line, and in columns of fours,
+under command of brave Colonel Buckley, marched rapidly, a portion
+of the distance at a double quick, toward the point of attack. On
+reaching Winchester the regiment halted, came to a front, loaded their
+pieces, and remained until the artillery and trains had passed. We then
+moved on the road leading to Kernstown, some two or three miles, and
+again halted. After some vexatious delay the regiment again resumed
+the march and soon reached the scene of the action, which was about
+seven miles from Winchester. The enemy were under General Thomas J.
+Jackson (Stonewall). His right extending across the Pike leading to
+Strasburg, and his forces on his left masked behind a stone fence,
+while at the rear for a considerable distance the ground was a gradual
+ascent covered with stumps and wood which were well used as cover. The
+Twenty-ninth regiment and its brigade was moved to the extreme right
+of the line, and, formed in close column, by division, moved forward
+through the timber to the attack. At close range the rebels opened a
+heavy fire, but we continued to advance, halting at a small ravine
+where we deployed in line of battle, and in this position a sharp
+and determined engagement ensued. The distance between the opposing
+forces did not exceed sixteen rods. Late in the afternoon an order was
+given the Third brigade to charge the rebel line. Quick as thought the
+whole line sprang forward, and with cheers sounding above the roar
+of the conflict, in the teeth of a murderous fire, swept down over
+the stone wall and at the bayonet’s point drove the enemy from their
+chosen position. To the rear they fled until reaching their artillery,
+where another stand was made and a rally attempted. The Union lead
+poured into their ranks with such deadly effect that they soon became
+panic-stricken, and in the greatest disorder retreated in whatever
+direction best offered an avenue of escape, and Stonewall Jackson, the
+pride of the South and by many considered the bravest general in the
+rebel army, was whipped, and that, too, by a force much inferior in
+numbers, many of whom had never faced death before.
+
+To make the victory still more sure our forces followed the disordered
+mass of fleeing rebels and captured many prisoners, until darkness
+closed over all, when our brave boys returned to rest upon their
+laurels upon the bloody field of carnage, bury the dead and care for
+the wounded. The result of this battle was a loss to the rebels of
+the Shenandoah valley, at that time of great importance to them, with
+casualties amounting to some five hundred men killed, wounded, and left
+on the field, and three hundred prisoners. The loss of the Twenty-ninth
+regiment in this action was: Five killed, seven wounded, two missing;
+aggregate fourteen. See casualties at the close of the volume for
+names.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER IV.
+
+Pursuit of Jackson--The “Long” March--Fredericksburg to Front
+Royal--March to Waynesboro.
+
+
+At early dawn on the morning of March 24th the Union army pushed
+forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels. The Twenty-ninth deployed
+as skirmishes in the advance. Many wounded Confederates were found in
+private houses along the line of march. About noon the dashing rebel
+cavalry officer Ashby came from cover and suddenly swooped down upon
+the regiment with a heavy cavalry force. Rallying by companies and
+forming squares, a well directed volley soon sent the rebels in haste
+to the rear. The pursuit of the fleeing rebels was continued until
+nightfall, when the regiment went into bivouac near Cedar creek. The
+next morning (25th) our columns again pushed forward until reaching a
+point a little in advance of Strasburg, where a halt was ordered and
+a camp (Kimball), established. Here we remained for some time, making
+frequent raids into the surrounding country and skirmishing almost
+daily with the enemy.
+
+April 1st the regiment again moved after the retreating army, and
+about daylight on the following morning indulged in some artillery
+firing with the rebel rear guards. During the month of April the
+regiment marched up the valley as far as Newmarket, passing the towns
+of Woodstock and Mount Jackson. At the latter place a hospital was
+established, and companies G and E were detailed for provost, and
+other duties, in and around Mount Jackson, while the remainder of the
+regiment moved up the valley to Camp Thurburn and continued the usual
+picket, camp, and guard duties.
+
+May 3d left camp and marched up the valley in the direction of
+Harrisburg; halted about three miles from town and camped for the
+night. May 5th, returned from near the town of Harrisburg and went into
+camp four miles above Newmarket, where the regiment remained until
+the 12th day of May, when it left the Shenandoah valley at Newmarket
+on the long march to Fredericksburg, marched to Luray, and encamped
+for the night (marched eighteen miles). Thirteenth, moved at 7 A. M.
+The Twenty-ninth, was detailed as rear guard. Fourteenth, marched
+at 6, reached Front Royal at 3:30 P. M. and camped for the night.
+Fifteenth, marched at 9 A. M., traveled thirteen miles, and went into
+camp. Sixteenth, marched at 6:30 A. M., reached Gains’ Cross Road,
+and camped for the night, (marched ten miles). May 17th, marched at 6
+A. M., and reached Warrenton (distance of eighteen miles), and went
+into camp for the night. Sunday, May 18th, remained in camp. Monday,
+19th, marched at 5 o’clock A. M., and at 3 P. M. reached the Orange &
+Alexandria railroad at Catlet’s Station, and went into camp. Remained
+until May 21st, when the regiment again marched at 6 A. M., halting at
+10:30 P. M. for the night. Twenty-second, marched at 7 A. M., reached
+Falmouth in the evening, and went into camp. Friday, May 23d, the army
+under Major-general McDowell was reviewed by Abraham Lincoln, the
+President of the United States, with satisfactory results. Sunday,
+25th, marched at 6 A. M., and at 4:30 went into camp. Twenty-sixth,
+marched at 5 A. M., and camped for the night at Catlet’s Station.
+Twenty-seventh, marched some four miles on the Manassas Gap railroad,
+and went into camp. Twenty-eighth, marched at 5 A. M. past White
+Plains; after tramping fifteen miles went into camp. Twenty-ninth,
+marched at 7 o’clock A. M. in the direction of Front Royal, reached
+Rectortown at 4 o’clock P. M., and two hours later fell in, in light
+marching order, and moved forward, leaving the baggage until May
+31st, when at 4 o’clock A. M. it moved forward towards Front Royal,
+reaching Piedmont at 9 A. M., and Markham at 4 P. M.; moved to within
+six miles of Front Royal, and camped for the night. June 1st, marched
+to Front Royal, and at 4 P. M. moved forward some three miles on the
+Luray road, and went into camp. June 2d, marched at 6 A. M., marched
+thirteen miles, and went into camp. Third, marched at 7 A. M., reached
+Luray at 12 M., passed through the town on the Newmarket road, some
+two miles and camped. Fourth, remained in camp all day. Fifth, marched
+at 5 A. M., marched four miles, halted, put up our tents, and prepared
+to be comfortable, when at 3 o’clock P. M. we were ordered to move.
+This was occasioned by the close proximity of the rebel batteries on
+the opposite side of the river. The regiment marched about one mile
+and again halted for the night. Sixth, ordered to march at 4 A. M.,
+fell into line at 5, moved two miles, halted, stacked arms, soon fell
+in and marched about two miles farther, pitched our tents, and at 6
+P. M. fell in and marched back to the place the regiment left in the
+morning, where we arrived at 12 at night, and went into camp. Saturday,
+7th, the regiment was up at 4 A. M. and marched at 9 A. M. (the baggage
+was ordered to Luray and Front Royal; Sergeant C. H. Edgerly and
+Private Willard Denison, of Company H, were furloughed home for thirty
+days), marched up the east bank of the Shenandoah river, a distance of
+fourteen miles, halted at 6 P. M., and went into camp. Eighth, marched
+at 4 A. M., halted at 6:30 for breakfast, and at 8:15 again moved
+forward; soon heard the artillery firing at Cross Keys on the west
+side of the Shenandoah river and mountain. The regiment moved on up
+the river and about 5 o’clock P. M. were in sight of the rebels, whose
+ambulances and train were moving rapidly in retreat in the direction
+of Port Republic from the battle of Cross Keys. The Union forces were
+under the command of Major-general John C. Fremont, and the Confederate
+army commanded by Major-general Thomas J. Jackson. The Union army took
+shelter in a strip of woods at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountain,
+near Port Republic, Virginia, and bivouacked for the night.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER V.
+
+Battle of Port Republic--The Twenty-ninth Suffer Great Loss.
+
+
+On June 9th, in the dim light of early morning the enemy began to move,
+and soon our artillery opened a brisk fire on them. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment, under command of Colonel Buckley, was ordered to fall in,
+and at 6:45 o’clock marched out of the timber into the open field, and
+moved forward a short distance, when the men unslung knapsacks and
+other equipage and, reduced to light marching order, advanced by the
+right flank, and when near the rebel position came into line on the
+double quick. While doing so we were obliged to pass a board fence;
+and at this critical time the rebels opened a heavy fire of musketry,
+but the regiment moved steadily forward and took position in the open
+field. The rebels in front of our right wing were behind a strong post
+and rail fence.
+
+From the base of the mountain to the Shenandoah river was about
+one-half mile. The extreme left of our line extended into the timber
+and near the base of the mountain with the right flank extending to
+the river. The Fifth, Sixty-sixth and Seventh Ohio regiments were on
+our left, and the Seventh Virginia, Seventh, Thirteenth and Fourteenth
+Indiana on our right. The Twenty-ninth being about the right center
+regiment during the battle, and at this time in support of Huntington’s
+battery, which was belching forth its shot and shell, doing deadly
+execution in the ranks of the advancing rebels. When in close range
+the rebels charged. Reserving our fire until they were almost upon
+us, the order was given, and with a yell the entire line poured its
+leaden hail into the gray clad columns of the chivalry, producing
+fearful slaughter, and following with a charge so impetuous that they
+were forced to retire from their secure position behind the fence, and
+here, for more than three hours and a half, our brave fellows, though
+outnumbered ten to one by the enemy and fighting against fate, kept
+them at bay and held the position. During this charge it is said that
+Allen Mason, of company C, Twenty-ninth regiment, captured the colors
+of the Seventh Louisiana Tigers, and Lieutenant Gregory and a part of
+company F made prisoners of twenty-five of the same regiment. At last
+the little handful, who had so gallantly contended against such fearful
+odds, were forced to retire. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved to the
+rear, perhaps an eighth of a mile, and came to a halt, holding the
+rebel forces in check until the entire Union forces had passed to the
+rear. In the meantime the rebels had opened fire upon us with a battery
+at close range, which did fearful execution in our rapidly decimating
+ranks. When all our troops had passed, our regiment faced to the right
+and moved obliquely into the timber; the rebels in the meantime passed
+down the road and we were nearly surrounded, and now, for a distance
+of nearly two miles occurred a desperate struggle for freedom. The men
+fought with the desperation born of despair. Brave old Colonel Buckley
+(who before beginning the day’s business addressed the regiment,
+saying: “Aim low, men, and at every shot let a traitor fall!”) on foot,
+his own and one other horse having been disabled by a shot, rallied the
+men, and with sword in hand with them succeeded in cutting their way
+through the cordon of gray devils almost surrounding them, and escaped
+to the mountains near, where some one hundred men of the different
+regiments of the Third brigade, with Colonel Buckley at their head,
+bivouacked for the night. The small remainder of the regiment, except
+those killed, wounded or captured, succeeded in reaching the main
+army. Captain Baldwin says that those who reached the main army of the
+Twenty-ninth regiment numbered only thirteen officers and men.
+
+The night succeeding this eventful day of blood and carnage was spent
+amid the gloom and darkness of the forest. The men gathered about their
+brave commander as if to shield him from the damps of night, their
+thoughts turning meanwhile to the absent comrades, many of whom, how
+many they knew not, were lying, still and ghastly, upon the bloody
+field, a sacrifice to the incompetency of the general commanding. The
+day following, the little band began its weary march to the rear,
+seeking shelter at night in some unused furnace buildings. The next day
+they came in sight of the rear guard of the retreating army, where they
+found the small remnant of the Twenty-ninth, who had escaped death or
+capture, and who, when they saw their beloved colonel alive and well,
+fairly rent the very heavens above with their glad shouts of welcome.
+
+The number of the Union army engaged in this battle was some
+twenty-five hundred, and could form but one line of battle, while
+Stonewall Jackson’s official report shows his army to have numbered
+some _thirty-four thousand_. The Twenty-ninth regiment lost heavily in
+this battle. The aggregate was: Killed, 12; wounded, 33; captured, 105;
+total, 150.
+
+After the battle the Twenty-ninth regiment moved down the valley to
+Luray, where the command encamped for a few days’ rest, then forward
+to Front Royal, and on to Alexandria, reaching that point on June
+27th, encamping on a rise of ground immediately adjacent to the
+line of fortifications. The Third brigade was now composed of the
+Seventh, Fifth, Sixty-sixth, and Twenty-ninth Ohio regiments, in the
+order named. General Shields having resigned by reason of McDowell’s
+misrepresentations in relation to the ill-advised battle of Port
+Republic, General Sturgis, who has recently received so much adverse
+criticism through the press of the country, for his brutal and inhuman
+treatment of his men, was placed temporarily in command. After lying at
+this point for nearly one month orders were received to move to the aid
+of General McClellan on the Peninsula, and we embarked on transports,
+but the order was countermanded and the Third brigade marched back to
+its old camp.
+
+July 25th we were ordered to join the force of General Pope, then
+marching via Warrenton to the Rapidan river. Proceeding by rail to
+the former point the brigade was reorganized and attached to Banks’
+Second corps, afterwards changed to the Twelfth army corps, as the
+First brigade of General Augur’s Second division. After a few days of
+“masterly inactivity” we marched in the direction of Luray. Debouching
+to the left on the road leading southward toward the Rapidan, we soon
+reached Little Washington and went into camp. While here the troops
+were reviewed by Generals Pope and Banks, who complimented our brigade
+very highly upon its perfection in drill and discipline. General Tyler
+was here ordered to Washington, and Brigadier-general John W. Geary,
+late colonel of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania infantry volunteers, was
+placed in command of our brigade. His regiment and Knapp’s battery were
+also assigned to the brigade. A forward movement in the direction of
+Culpeper Court House, Virginia (on the Rapidan), was begun on August
+8th. Here the Confederates were preparing defences, and at Cedar
+Mountain, some seven miles to the southwest of our position, they were
+strongly fortified.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER VI.
+
+1862.
+
+Cedar Mountain--Battle--Severe Loss of Life--Forward to Alexandria.
+
+
+August 8th, the regiment moved at 2 o’clock, advanced to Culpeper Court
+House, and went into camp; and at 10:40, on the morning of August 9th,
+moved forward in the direction of Cedar mountain. Halted a short time,
+and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment was sent to the right on an
+eminence as signal guard. The remainder of the brigade soon advanced,
+halting at intervals, as the day was insufferably hot (several men died
+this day of sunstroke). At last, passing through a piece of timber,
+we approached the open field with a rolling country in our front, and
+at 1:30, while making preparations for dinner (near a fine spring
+of water), skirmishing and artillery firing was heard on our right,
+which continued at intervals until 3:45, when the rebels appeared in
+heavy force, ready for battle, and the Union lines were formed without
+delay. The Twenty-ninth regiment (commanded by Captain W. F. Stevens,
+of Company B,) was ordered to advance and take position in rear of
+a battery which had been placed on a ridge. Here the regiment took
+position, the right resting on the road, and the left extending into
+the field, covered from the enemy by the hill on which the battery
+was placed. The Twenty-ninth, with other regiments of the brigade,
+was about on the right of the left wing of the line in open field,
+while the right wing extended across the road, and into the timber.
+The regiment remained in this position, supporting the battery, and
+receiving a heavy fire from the rebel artillery in our front. Here
+several men were wounded.
+
+At 5 o’clock P. M., we moved over the crest of the hill, to a cornfield
+some distance in advance of our previous position. During the advance
+to this new position a terrific cannonade opened on us, dealing great
+destruction to our ranks. Apparently every cannon of the enemy was
+let loose against us, but we never faltered in this march of death,
+despite the terrible missiles that were tearing through our bleeding
+ranks. Comrades were falling, and brothers dying. The mangled and
+bleeding victims of the fury and violence of war were left thick
+around us, making the ground sacred on which they fell; but we wavered
+not. Reaching a low piece of ground, we halted, and were ordered to
+lie down and continue firing. We remained for one hour in the open
+field, exposed to this furious storm of grape and canister, shot and
+shell. Comrades gave up their lives so gently that it was scarce
+possible to tell the living from the dead. The fatal missile struck
+the victim, leaving the lifeless clay in the same attitude which the
+living body occupied. During the fatal period death assumed a real
+character while life seemed but a dream. The engagement had now become
+general. The brigade of General Prince came up, and formed on the left
+of our regiment. The Sixty-sixth, Fifth, and Seventh Ohio regiments
+were formed on our right, in the order named. (The Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania regiment was not with us in this engagement.)
+
+At a given signal the brigade arose and, with defiant yells, rushed
+forward to the charge. Prince’s brigade on the left moved forward
+with us. A sheet of flame and smoke burst forth from rebel batteries,
+musketry replied to musketry, bayonet clashed with bayonet, and cheers
+rang out against cheers, as one side or the other gained the advantage
+in this deadly conflict. Daring warmed into rashness, and bravery
+into recklessness. Hurrah! we force them back, their line is broken,
+a battery is almost within our grasp; when in this moment of seeming
+certain victory, fresh columns of rebel infantry rush upon us on the
+double-quick, masked batteries open on us at the same moment a most
+furious enfilading fire, causing our brave boys to reel and stagger.
+An order comes for us to retire, when three-fourths of our regiment
+have been placed out of the fight--dead or wounded. Slowly and sadly
+the remaining few obey the order, keeping our faces to the foe until
+fresh troops arrive to take our places, when we resume our position
+in the reserve near Telegraph hill. Each regiment of the brigade had
+done nobly, but all alike had suffered a loss so great that the four
+regiments together could not show a respectable facing front for one
+regiment. As night settled over the field of carnage and of death our
+entire army corps withdrew to the position it held early in the day,
+but our artillery kept up a desultory firing, with but short intervals
+during the night.
+
+The casualties of this battle were: Killed, 11; wounded, 26; missing,
+12. Total, 49.
+
+Private George Williams, company F, came off the field with his third
+gun--two having been shot from his hands.
+
+During August 10th and 11th skirmishing continued. In the afternoon of
+the last-named day the 29th regiment was inspected. Adjutant Storer
+reported eighty-three men only present for duty.
+
+The Union army remained on the field three days, retiring, on August
+12th, to Culpeper Court House, where it encamped. Our pickets,
+going over the battle field on the 13th, reported that dead horses
+were piled in promiscuous positions; dismounted cannons, wrecked
+caissons, and broken firearms were everywhere, while the graves of
+the fallen, singly and in trenches, were scattered over the entire
+field, only the freshly heaped up earth marking the spots. In one spot
+were the unburied bodies of a boy in blue and one in gray, their arms
+interlocked as their brave souls went out to the God who gave them, the
+one for the right, the other, it is hoped, forgiven for his misguided
+championship of the wrong.
+
+Twelfth, marched to Culpeper Court House, and went into camp. 13th,
+put up tents and prepared to live. 14th, and all is quiet. 15th,
+another inspection and review. There is one consolation if we do have
+inspection every other day, there are so few men left that but little
+time is consumed in doing so. 16th, 17th, and 18th, still in camp; was
+inspected again, and at 6 o’clock on the evening of the latter day,
+struck tents under orders to march; slept on our arms that night. 19th,
+marched at 10 A. M., north to the Rappahannock, a distance of eleven
+miles, and went into camp. Had only a small quantity of green corn
+to eat. 20th, all quiet in camp. 21st, at 6 A. M. firing began, and
+was kept up along the line all day; at 7 in the evening the regiment,
+under command of Captain Schoonover, marched two miles and halted;
+company H was sent forward to the picket line, and the regiment moved
+at 6:30 A. M. along the Rappahannock; halted at 9:30; after a brief
+rest the regiment again fell in, and marched till 12 at noon without
+breakfast; sharp firing along the line; halted until 6 o’clock P. M.;
+moved up the Rappahannock river two miles, halted, stacked arms, and
+remained up nearly all night; (rainy) no tents or blankets, made our
+bed of rails. Saturday, August 23d, at 6 o’clock A. M. the artillery
+opened fire, and continued until 11 o’clock P. M.; remained on our arms
+all day; at 10 o’clock P. M. moved a short distance up the river, and
+the Twenty-ninth went on picket. 24th, and all is quiet; at 9:30 A. M.
+the artillery commenced firing, which was kept up continually during
+the day. 25th, artillery and musketry firing all along the line; at
+8 o’clock P. M. the Twenty-ninth with its brigade moved up the river
+four miles and camped for the night. 26th, no rations for breakfast,
+but after a short time some green corn was procured, which filled the
+bill. At 8 A. M. the artillery dueling again commenced and was kept up
+the remainder of the day. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved one-half mile
+for shelter, remained here until 9 P. M., when it marched forward until
+3 o’clock A. M., of the 27th; halted, moved forward a distance of three
+miles, and again halted. At 1 o’clock P. M., moved in the direction of
+Warrenton Junction, and camped for the night (no rations for supper
+or breakfast). On the morning of the 28th day of August, the regiment
+moved at 5 A. M., marched three miles and halted, drew rations and moved
+on in the direction of Bristow station, and camped for the night. Heavy
+firing in our advance all day. 29th, remained in camp, about two miles
+above Bristow station. 30th, marched at 6 o’clock A. M. and halted at
+Bristow station, and remained till 5 o’clock P. M., when the enemy was
+reported in our rear. The sick and disabled were moved to Alexandria
+and other points. August 31st, teams and trains containing camp and
+garrison equipage and other army supplies, were moved in the direction
+of Fairfax Court House.
+
+During the campaign under Major-general Pope from August 20th until
+the regiment reached Alexandria on the 2d day of September, 1862, it
+was one continuous march and counter-march, by day and night, moving
+up the Rappahannock as far as White Sulphur Springs. On the 29th and
+30th of August near the Bull Run battle ground. A very hard battle was
+fought, in which the Nationals were forced from the field, and again
+late in the afternoon on the 1st day of September at Chantilly, a short
+distance from Fairfax Court House, a sanguinary battle was fought,
+which continued late in the evening. In this last engagement the
+Nationals held the field at night, and on the 2d the Union army fell
+back within the fortifications around Washington city. During the last
+two or three days of the above campaign the Twenty-ninth regiment was
+completely cut off from the main army, as it had been ordered to guard
+the quartermaster stores with other government property on the railroad
+at and near Bristow station, and when ordered to join its brigade it
+found the enemy in the rear, so that it was only by a circuitous route
+in the direction of Brintsville, and a forced march that it reached the
+Chantilly battlefield during the engagement, on September 1st. Here it
+bivouacked for the night, and on the following day marched to Arlington
+heights, via Alexandria, where it went into camp.
+
+During the last twelve days of the campaign the Twenty-ninth suffered
+severely for rations and rest, it being on the march, under fire, and
+on the skirmish line the entire time. When we reached Fairfax station,
+on the platform of the depot we found an immense table upon which our
+wounded boys were being subjected to the ofttimes bungling butchery
+of ignorant alleged surgeons, a number of whom were busily engaged in
+depriving the poor fellows under their charge of wounded legs and
+arms, and in many cases hastening their death thereby. This worse than
+murder by men, the majority of whom, when at home, had never even
+witnessed a capital operation, cannot be too highly condemned. (The
+writer is personally acquainted with professional men of this sort,
+who came out of the service first-class carvers, but the number of
+brave fellows sacrificed to bring about this state of proficiency is
+unknown.) It was now ascertained that the Confederate army of General
+Lee was making rapid marches towards Maryland. To checkmate this
+movement our columns were at once ordered on a retrograde movement in
+the direction of Washington. Reaching Alexandria, we passed up the
+Potomac, crossing at the long bridge, and moving forward to Georgetown
+where a halt of one day was made, the command departing the following
+morning for Frederick City, Maryland, which was said to be occupied by
+the rebels. A day’s march brought us beyond Rockville, Maryland, where
+we encamped for the night. At 2 o’clock, on the afternoon of September
+5th, the regiment marched to Monocacy Junction, where the rebels had a
+short time previous destroyed the railroad bridge.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER VII.
+
+Frederick City--Recruits--Dumfries.
+
+
+The regiment remained at Monocacy junction, guarding the immense
+supply trains which had accumulated here by reason of the burned
+bridge. Sergeant Baldwin relates that a lot of rebel prisoners passed
+Monocacy bridge, one of whom claimed to have fired seven shots at
+Colonel Buckley at the battle of Port Republic, but without effect.
+About September 13th, the bridge having been replaced, we moved on to
+Frederick city, Maryland. Here we engaged in camp, picket, and provost
+duty, and a large number of the men were detailed to care for the
+wounded from the battlefields of South Mountain and Antietam, September
+14th and 17th.
+
+In the meantime we were joined by a large number of recruits, amongst
+which was a brigade cornet band, composed of the following members:
+George Shaw, leader; Everett Shaw, assistant leader; J. G. Caskey,
+Jacob Koplin, Sylvanus Hile, Columbus Ferguson, N. G. Hartman,
+Christian Hardag, William Kurtz, George Metcalf, James Lyon, “Bige”
+Nickerson, Benjamin Snyder, George Turney, Micajah Rice, Bennett
+Wadsworth, Edward White, Frank Waltz, Eli Waltz; Gurley G. Crane, drum
+major.
+
+November 25th, Colonel Clark says: “Patiently waiting in camp. ‘Dress
+parade’ to-day, the first many of us have seen since May last. Only
+about two hundred men in line. Remembering how far our line reached at
+Camp Giddings, our force looks small indeed.”
+
+November 27th. “Cold and raw. A fierce gale makes our canvas houses
+rock like cradles. We are now having an easy time; that is all but the
+men and the mules. Our men go on duty every other day. As to rations,
+don’t think any of us will get the gout.”
+
+November 27th. “Thanksgiving.--‘Distance lends enchantment,’ etc., to
+turkeys, chickens, pies, and fixin’s that make good cheer at home.
+Well, some of us are thankful--that we are here instead of being locked
+up in those dirty rebel prisons. Nine of our officers and a large
+number of our men have just been released. This inactivity is irksome
+to the volunteer who has business at home needing his attention. We
+hardly think Burnside will reach Richmond via Fredericksburg unless he
+goes as some of us did--as prisoners.”
+
+On the 10th day of December, 1862, the regiment struck tents at
+Frederick City, Maryland, and moved by cars in the direction of
+Harper’s Ferry. At Sandy Hook a halt was made for the night; slept in
+freight cars; suffered severely from cold. The following day marched
+at 6 A. M. About noon crossed the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers into
+Virginia; marched about nine miles and camped for the night. Twelfth,
+marched at 3 P. M. some nine miles and went into camp. Thirteenth, moved
+at 6 A. M., marched twelve miles, halted for dinner, passed through
+Leesburg, and camped for the night. Fourteenth, marched at sunrise,
+passed through Fairfax Court House to the station, where we encamped.
+Fifteenth, marched till about 4 P. M., crossed Broad run and encamped
+for the night. Sixteenth, marched four miles in rain, snow, and mud; at
+12 M. halted for dinner; had a fight with a Pennsylvania regiment over
+some rails that had been collected from the fence. These we used for
+wood occasionally in preparing our meals.
+
+[It] is perhaps unnecessary to mention that the Twenty-ninth boys
+enjoyed good fires to-day. In the afternoon the Twenty-ninth went on
+picket one mile to the rear. Seventeenth, brigade counter-marched
+to Fairfax station, where it remained until the 19th, when it moved
+southeast about one and one-half miles to an orchard, where it
+encamped, and where it remained until the 27th, when it marched at 9
+A. M.; reached Broad run late in the evening. On the hill on the south
+side of the creek was a fort occupied by rebels; the Twenty-ninth
+crossed the creek, halted, loaded their guns, and advanced, and a
+red-hot little skirmish ensued at the close of which the rebels fell
+back. We went into the fort, sending two companies out in the road
+leading towards Dumfries as skirmishers. The regiment remained on
+arms all night; cold and frosty. Guns are not very warm bed-fellows.
+Twenty-eighth, marched at 7:30 A. M., Twenty-ninth in advance of
+division. About 10 o’clock met some rebel cavalry; the Twenty-ninth
+regiment deployed into line of battle, a few shots were fired, and the
+rebels fell back. One man wounded in company A. While in this position
+Generals Slocum, Geary, and Green came up; a battery was soon in
+position which sent a few shots after the retreating rebel cavalry. In
+the afternoon marched through the woods on right of road, in line of
+battle, while the division moved in the road; skirmishing the balance
+of the day. At dark we halted three miles from Dumfries and camped for
+the night. Twenty-ninth, reached Dumfries’ about 10 o’clock A. M., and
+went into camp on the side hill in the woods north of town.
+
+January 1, 1863, the regiment and its brigade remained at Dumfries,
+doing camp and picket duty, until January 16th, when it was ordered
+to march on two hours’ notice, did not march. On the 17th and 18th
+nothing transpired worthy of note. On the 19th the regiment passed
+in grand review by Colonel Charles Canby, of the Sixty-sixth Ohio
+infantry. January 27th, General Geary visited the regiment while on
+parade, and complimented us on our discipline, neat appearance, and
+soldierly deportment. February 2nd, Colonel L. P. Buckley, Adjutant T.
+S. Winship, Captain E. Burridge and Lieutenant Gregory, of company F,
+resigned and went home. Lieutenant J. B. Storer was made adjutant, and
+Sergeant H. R. Baldwin, of company F, promoted to captain. February 3d,
+Companies D and I were detached at Dumfries landing, on the Potomac,
+about four miles from camp, doing guard duty, unloading army supplies
+from boats, and loading the Second Division trains.
+
+On the 14th some musketry firing was heard in the direction of
+Brentsville.
+
+March 9th, Eli Waltz, of Company D, and a member of the brigade band,
+died.
+
+April 16th, Companies D and I moved from the landing, and joined the
+regiment.
+
+From the 29th day of December, 1862, the time when the Twenty-ninth
+regiment entered Dumfries, its duties were severe; the line of
+pickets was over three miles long, and over one mile from camp; and
+as the rebel cavalry were hovering around, the main roads entering
+Dumfries, were patroled at night. Our men suffered severely from
+cold and the protracted storms. In the meantime five companies were
+added to the brigade. The Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania originally had
+fifteen companies; five companies were added to the new recruits, and
+designated the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania, with Ario
+Pardee as colonel. Our first brigade now consists of the Twenty-ninth,
+Seventh, Fifth, and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments, and Twenty-eighth and
+One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania.
+
+The suffering our men endured during our stay at Dumfries from
+inclemency of the weather, the arduous service, and the scarcity of
+almost every necessity, cannot be easily over-estimated, and it might
+with propriety go into history as a counterpart of that much written
+about, and extensively illustrated affair “Washington at Valley Forge.”
+
+About the 20th day of April, 1863, with Colonel Clark in command, the
+Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade, left Dumfries, Virginia,
+and marched to Aqua creek, which place it reached two days later,
+and encamped about one mile from the Potomac river. Aqua creek is
+sixty miles below Washington on the river; it was used as a base for
+supplies, and a field hospital was soon established. The regiment
+with its brigade remained at this place performing the usual camp
+and garrison duty, building forts and, at the same time, doing its
+full share of picket duty. We are encamped on the hill overlooking
+the Potomac. To the north and west is a fine rolling country partly
+covered with pine timber and tangled undergrowth. All was quiet until
+orders were received to march; then what a bustle; haversacks were
+filled, each soldier furnished with sixty rounds of ammunition, and
+preparations made for “business.” At 7 o’clock A. M., on the 27th day
+of April, the regiment fell into line and moved forward on the road
+leading to Kelleys ford via Stafford Court House and Hartwood church,
+reaching the Rappahannock river at Kelley’s ford late in the afternoon.
+The enemy was found in small force on the south bank of the river. Late
+in the evening the Sixty-sixth Ohio regiment crossed the river in a
+small boat capable of carrying but one company at a time. The regiment
+deployed as skirmishers, holding the enemy back until the division
+had all crossed when we bivouacked for the night. The next morning we
+marched at 5:30 A. M., the Twenty-ninth regiment in advance; passed
+through a low, level country, with heavy timber; halted at 12 M. for
+dinner at a fine residence on a large plantation; fell in at 1:30 P. M.
+and moved in an easterly direction, reaching the Rapidan river late
+in the afternoon. The bridge had been destroyed, so that a crossing
+was not effected until in the evening, after which the Twenty-ninth
+camped for the night. 29th instant,--marched at 7:30 A. M. on the direct
+road to Chancellorsville. About 10 o’clock A. M. General Slocum came
+up and orders were received for the Twenty-ninth regiment to send out
+a line of skirmishers on the right of the road, which was done, the
+regiment passing through an open field and entering the timber, forcing
+the enemy back; marched on the flank through the woods and thick
+undergrowth for several miles, were then ordered to join the brigade.
+We reached Chancellorsville late in the afternoon of April 30th, where
+we found a small force of Confederate soldiers who were engaged in
+throwing up earthworks near the Chancellor house, at a point where the
+roads crossed, one leading to the United States ford, and the other
+to Fredericksburg. The Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade and
+division, were the first Union soldiers to enter the place. A number of
+prisoners were taken, and late in the evening the Twenty-ninth moved a
+short distance southwest from the main road and the Chancellor house
+into a piece of timber and bivouacked for the night.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER VIII.
+
+1863.
+
+Battle of Chancellorsville--March to Leesburg, Littletown, and
+Gettysburg.
+
+
+The morning of May 1st dawned upon a scene of bustle and active
+preparation for the bloody work which was to follow. Troops had been
+arriving during the entire night from the direction of the United
+States ford, and the light of early morning revealed an almost solid
+mass of blue-coated soldiers filling the open fields and woods in the
+vicinity of the Chancellor house. They were mainly from the Fifth,
+Eleventh, and Twelfth corps. At about 8 o’clock A. M. the Twenty-ninth,
+with its brigade and division, made a reconnoissance in force, and
+after marching about one-half mile the division formed in line of
+battle, and in this position was moved about the field until afternoon,
+when the lines were generally moved to the east through the timber,
+the right resting on the road. Moving perhaps half a mile we found the
+enemy in strong force, his artillery masked in the road. During this
+time some skirmishing and artillery firing was indulged in, and several
+of the Twenty-ninth were wounded. Late in the afternoon we moved to the
+rear under a heavy fire from the rebel artillery. Reaching the place
+we had left in the morning we set to work throwing up breastworks.
+The rebels advanced and our skirmishers kept up a rattling fire all
+night, while the regiment worked like beavers preparing the works for
+the coming conflict. The Second division, commanded by John W. Geary,
+occupied about the left center in the order of battle.
+
+During the evening of May 1st the Confederate army were charging the
+right of our lines, and for four hours the artillery firing on both
+sides was terrific. It continued at intervals the entire night. The
+air was ablaze and full of deadly missiles dealing destruction all
+around us; the earth trembled under our feet; the rattle and roar of
+artillery was like continued bursts of thunder. The heavens seemed
+on fire, revealing the deadly strife of two grand armies locked in
+close embrace, fighting with desperate valor. The dense smoke was
+lightened by rapid flashes of artillery, the bursting of shell, and the
+unceasing discharges of musketry, making a scene grand and terrible
+in the extreme. At midnight this deadly combat ceased, the death-like
+stillness which succeeded being broken only by the cries of the wounded
+and the dying comrades so recently beside us in deadly combat. About 1
+o’clock at night pickets were posted forty yards from the main line. We
+were so near the rebel pickets we could hear every movement. Here we
+lay flat on the ground watching for demonstrations of the enemy until
+the dawning of another day of blood and death. In the first flush of
+early morning the rebels advanced with columns _en masse_ and at once
+opened fire on us. This we returned and then quickly retired under a
+storm of leaden hail. Leaping over the rifle-pits we soon rejoined the
+command.
+
+The Twenty-ninth regiment now moved in a southwesterly direction along
+the line of works a short distance, in support of a New York regiment.
+While supporting this regiment the Twenty-ninth was under artillery
+fire from the right flank. Colonel Clark was struck by a shell, and
+rendered unconscious nearly two hours. The regiment again moved into
+its old position on the road south of the Chancellorsville house,
+where it remained under heavy fire of artillery and musketry, and in
+the afternoon our right flank was turned, and the Union army was soon
+forced back in the direction of the river, at Banks’ ford. When the
+Twenty-ninth fell back the rebels were in possession of the Chancellor
+house, and there were not one hundred Union soldiers in sight. The army
+fell back about one mile and a half, filling the woods and the road
+leading to Banks’ ford. Here it took a strong position and threw up a
+line of works and remained until May 6th, when, after being on arms
+all night, it marched at 6 A. M., crossed the river at Banks’ ford, and
+camped for the night.
+
+During the three days’ fight the Twenty-ninth regiment lost quite
+heavily; the killed were four, wounded forty-two, and prisoners
+twenty-five.
+
+In this action the rebel loss was officially reported in killed,
+wounded, and missing, as upward of 10,000 men, while the Union loss was
+about the same. The rebel loss in killed and wounded was greater than
+ours, in addition to which they lost one of their ablest generals.
+
+May 7th, marched at 6:30 A. M. It rained hard all day. We passed
+Hartwood church, Staffordshire, and went into camp near Aqua creek, and
+here it remained until June 3d, when the regiment moved to the south
+about one mile, and engaged in the construction of two small forts.
+
+Early on the morning of June 13th, we received orders to march. Tents
+were struck, but it was not until late in the afternoon that we moved,
+and then marched during the whole night, reaching Dumfries after
+daylight on the morning of the 14th.
+
+15th, march at 4 A. M. Halted on the north bank of the Occoquan creek
+for dinner. Resuming the march in the afternoon we passed Fairfax
+station and Court House on the road leading to Leesburg (marched
+twenty-five miles). This was a march of much suffering to the men,
+several of whom died during the day from sunstrokes.
+
+16th. Remained in camp all day.
+
+17th. March in the direction of Leesburg. Halted at 12 M., and camped
+for the night.
+
+June 18th. Marched to near Leesburg and went into camp. _Oh! How it
+rains!_
+
+19th. Remained in camp cleaning up guns and equipage, and all is
+quiet. In the afternoon the Twelfth army corps were ordered out to
+witness the shooting of three deserters from the First division of the
+Twelfth army corps. Following are the names: William McKee, company A,
+Forty-sixth Pennsylvania; Christopher Krumbart, company A, Forty-sixth
+Pennsylvania; and William Grover, company B, Thirteenth New Jersey.
+Lieutenant-colonel Clark left us here badly broken down in health.
+
+Sunday, June 20th. In camp cleaning up for inspection. 21st and 22d in
+camp. 23d, 24th and 25th, Captain Schoonover, in charge of one hundred
+and twenty men from the brigade, felling timber, uncovering Ball’s
+Bluff in front of Fort Beauregard.
+
+26th. The regiment left Leesburg, crossing the Potomac at Edward’s
+Ferry, passed Poolsville, and encamped for the night at Monocacy
+aqueduct.
+
+27th. Moved at 4:30 A. M. by way of Point of Rocks, Petersville and
+Parkersburg, and camped for the night five miles from Harper’s Ferry.
+
+28th. Moved in the forenoon, passing through Harper’s Ferry, then up
+the tow path of the Baltimore & Ohio canal to Clear Springs, where the
+Twenty-ninth passed under the canal through a culvert, and moving in
+the direction of Frederick City, Maryland, went into camp.
+
+29th. Moved through Frederick City in the direction of Pennsylvania,
+and went into camp. General Hooker was relieved from command of the
+Army of the Potomac, and General George G. Mead placed in command.
+
+30th. Moved north into Pennsylvania, and late in the afternoon reached
+Littlestown, where we had a skirmish with the advance guard of the
+rebel Lee, which falling back toward Gettysburg, we moved north of
+town; mustered for pay and went into camp for the night.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER IX.
+
+Gettysburg.
+
+1863.
+
+
+July 1, 1863, the Twenty-ninth regiment, under command of Captain
+Edward Hayes, marched at 6:30 A. M., passed through Littletown and on
+towards Gettysburg. After moving some five miles, we halted, and while
+preparing for dinner, first heard the distant artillery firing which
+seemed to be many miles away.
+
+While resting, troops were passing to the front. Meanwhile some of
+Company H had advanced to an eminence, from which they soon returned,
+reporting that the cannonading was not far off, as they could plainly
+see the shells as they burst above the timber. We were soon on the
+march, halting occasionally to breathe, as it was excessively hot
+and dusty. When about two miles from Gettysburg, we met ambulances
+returning with the wounded of the First and Eleventh corps, which
+had been engaged. Advancing a short distance, we found still further
+evidence of the fight in the bodies of those who had been killed
+in battle, and left beside the road. Late in the afternoon the
+Twenty-ninth reached the Union lines near Seminary Hill, and here
+batteries were in position. The troops were moving, and the rapid
+forming of lines gave evidence that a _battle_ was _nigh_.
+
+The Twenty-ninth regiment filed to the left of the pike, and advancing
+about forty rods, took a position in a wheat field, in line of battle,
+and here remained on arms during the night.
+
+During the day (July 1st) the First corps, commanded by General J. F.
+Reynolds, had a sharp fight, in which Reynolds was killed. The Eleventh
+corps (Howard’s) was also engaged. Late in the afternoon the Nationals
+were pressed back, and took a strong position a short distance from
+Gettysburg, on Seminary Ridge, which ended the battle for that day.
+
+During the night we could hear the moving of confederate troops and
+artillery in our front, while at the same time the Nationals were
+coming onto the field, so that in the morning of July 2d, the open
+field and woods presented a solid mass of troops, artillery and supply
+trains.
+
+About 8 o’clock A. M., July 2d, the Twenty-ninth regiment moved back to
+the pike, and moved with the division to a position in the timber on a
+hill, near the right of the line. Here breastworks were thrown up, and
+skirmishing was almost continuous along the line during the forenoon,
+and until about 3 o’clock P. M., when the struggle was renewed on the
+left, and gradually extended to the center. About 6 o’clock P. M., there
+was a lull on the left, and the fight raged with renewed vigor on the
+extreme right and center, with Howard’s Eleventh and Slocum’s Twelfth
+corps. Late in the evening the Twenty-ninth, with the brigade, withdrew
+from the works, and moved back about three-fourths of a mile, where it
+remained during the forepart of the night, moving back and forth, and
+constantly skirmishing. The entire army appeared to be in motion the
+greater part of the night.
+
+July 3, 1863, at the dawn of day, the Twenty-ninth, with the brigade,
+moved back to, and took position in the works left the night before,
+and about 4 o’clock A. M. the conflict was renewed.
+
+The rebels who had possession of our works were quickly driven back,
+and, fifteen minutes after the first gun was fired, the engagement
+became general along the entire line, and for six hours the musketry
+was one continued roll, interspersed at intervals by the crash of the
+artillery. The Twenty-ninth remained in the works except when allowed
+to retire to secure ammunition, clean pieces, etc. While thus securing
+ammunition the rebels charged the line on our right, gained possession
+of the works, and were advancing in force, when that gallant officer,
+Colonel Hayes, ordered the Twenty-ninth to fall in, fix bayonets, and
+advance to the charge of the rebels in the rifle pits and advancing on
+our right. The regiment made a half wheel to the right and advanced
+double-quick, when the rebels gave way. An eastern shore regiment took
+position next on our right, holding the rebels in check. A battery
+was immediately placed in position, a few rounds from which sent the
+Confederates to the rear, leaving their dead and wounded thick about
+our line of works.
+
+The Confederates in our front were Ewell’s corps, including our
+old acquaintance, Stonewall Jackson’s brigade, which fought with
+desperation. The rattle of the musketry, which extended from the
+extreme right to the left center of our line, had now become
+continuous, and about 1 o’clock P. M. General Lee opened a furious fire
+upon our lines from over one hundred and fifty pieces of artillery,
+to which more than one hundred National guns quickly responded; some
+sixty thousand small arms were heard amidst the roar of artillery. This
+unearthly din continued until late in the afternoon, when the firing
+ceased except at intervals, and this continued during the entire night.
+
+Brevet Captain George Hayward, of company E, promoted for gallant
+conduct at Chancellorsville, was killed in this fight. He was daring
+almost to rashness, always at the front, unmindful of danger, while his
+tender solicitude for his men endeared him to all who knew him, and his
+death was sincerely regretted. The rebel who killed him was concealed
+in the crevice of the rock not more than twenty paces from our line.
+Upon again exposing his person not less than one hundred rifles were
+discharged at him; he sprang backward, a shrill cry rang out upon the
+air, and brave Hayward’s death was avenged.
+
+A little further down the hill lay the dead body of Major Light,
+assistant adjutant-general on Ewell’s staff, who had perished in the
+morning assault.
+
+Early on the morning of July 4th the Twenty-ninth regiment advanced in
+reconnoissance over the battlefield, and for the first time gained a
+full knowledge of the fearful loss of life the rebels had sustained,
+full five thousand of whom had answered to their last roll-call. Still
+the mystery exists how any rebels escaped, as each soldier of the Union
+army had, in the seven hours’ fight, fired two hundred and fifty rounds
+of ammunition, sufficient to have annihilated the entire Southern army.
+
+We moved forward to the base of Culp’s hill, and thence left, to the
+creek near Cemetery hill, on the opposite bank of which were posted
+the gray-coated pickets of the enemy. Rebel troops were moving through
+the town, while a force was fortified on Seminary ridge. Pickets were
+thrown out to observe their movements and we retired to the main line.
+
+During the day nearly five thousand stand of rebel arms were collected
+from the field, in front of Geary’s division alone. Our fallen comrades
+were tenderly, though rudely, transferred to the kindly embrace of
+mother earth, while the wounded were collected at convenient points to
+receive the necessary treatment.
+
+Whoever has followed the phases of the battle of Gettysburg must have
+been expressed with the stubborn valor displayed on both sides by the
+common soldiers. The dauntless resolution exhibited in the attacks
+made it a terribly bloody and destructive conflict, and the unyielding
+and resolute front of the defence brought victory. But there was no
+possibility of achieving on either side such sweeping and complete
+triumphs as are recorded of wars in other countries and in other days,
+in a contest between two armies where the common soldiers were of such
+a temper and in such earnest as were these. It is a sad spectacle to
+see the manhood of two claiming to be Christian peoples thus march out
+to a field, like trained pugilists, and beat, and gouge, and pummel
+each other until one or the other from exhaustion must yield. It is
+revolting and sickening, and it is hoped that the day will come when
+disputes arising among nations may be settled by compromise, as two
+reasonable and upright men would decide a difference, governed by the
+golden rule, instead of resorting to blows where right and justice must
+be subordinate to brute force. But in a great battle like that which
+we have been considering it is not the soldiers themselves who are
+responsible, but the parties who make the quarrel. Hence, while the
+mind revolts at the scenes of destruction which the field discloses,
+the immediate actors are not to be held accountable. They go in
+obedience to the dictates of duty and of patriotism, and while they
+may indulge no personal hatred toward those who for the time they call
+enemies, they must in battle inflict the greatest possible injury upon
+them. In all ages the highest honors have been reserved for those who
+have fought the battles of their country--and this is right. For if
+there is any deed in the power of a mortal which can sway the feelings
+or soften the heart it is that of one man laying down his life for
+another. The breast heaves and the eye is suffused with tears at the
+spectacle of Pythias putting his life in jeopardy only for his friend.
+There is a halo of glory hovering about the profession of arms. It has
+its seat in the sacrifice of self, which is its ruling spirit.
+
+The man who stands upon the field of battle and faces the storm of
+death that sweeps along, whether he merely puts his life thus in
+jeopardy or is actually carried down in death, torn and mangled in
+the dread fight, is worthy of endless honors, and though we class the
+deed with the lowest of human acts, prompted by a hardihood which we
+share with the brutes, and in which the most ignorant and besotted may
+compete with the loftiest, yet it is an act before which humanity will
+ever bow and uncover. Who that walked that field of carnage and beheld
+the maimed and mangled, and him cold in death, could withhold the
+tribute of honor and respect? For, could he make that dying soldier’s
+lot his own, or that of his nearest and dearest friend, he would only
+then justly realize the sacrifice. Our casualties in the fight were:
+Killed, nine; wounded, thirty-five; missing, one. Total, forty-five.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER X.
+
+Return to Washington--Embark for New York--Return--Transferred to the
+Western Army.
+
+
+The pursuit of the retreating enemy was commenced by the Twelfth
+army corps at 1 o’clock P. M., on July 5th. At night we encamped at
+Littletown, Pennsylvania, and on the following morning moved by the
+way of Frederick to Antietam creek. On the 7th instant we marched
+through Frederick, filed to the right, and passed by a rebel spy
+that was hanging to a limb of a tree. We moved a short distance, and
+halted, where we remained all night. On the 8th we marched over the
+mountains in the direction of Sharpsburg. On the 9th we passed over the
+battlefield, and camped near Fairplay, Maryland. On the 10th we moved
+through the town, and camped for the night near Falling waters. On the
+following day we advanced to Fairplay, a small town to the south of
+St. James’ college, and the Twenty-ninth regiment, with its customary
+good (?) fortune, was thrown out as skirmishers, and during the day
+exchanged frequent shots with the enemy’s cavalry, and at night resting
+in position on the extreme front.
+
+During the night rebel cavalry approached very near our line, but our
+orders were positive not to fire unless attacked. On the following
+morning we were relieved and retired to the main line, where we assumed
+position as support to Knapp’s battery, which was hotly engaged at
+intervals during the day.
+
+On the morning of the 13th instant we rejoined our brigade,
+anticipating an attack. Riflepits were thrown up and due preparation
+made. The enemy are strongly fortified between St. James’ college and
+Williamsport, some two miles distant, and on the 14th he was reported
+as falling back across the Potomac. Heavy cannonading is heard towards
+the river, and the First division of General Williams advances in
+reconnoissance, the Second acting as support. A dispatch states that
+Lee’s army, in full retreat, began crossing the river yesterday,
+continued through the night and to-day. Our troops are hotly engaged
+with his rear guard, and we remain in position until the morning of the
+18th, when we move briskly forward in pursuit of the fleeing chivalry,
+who were now across the Potomac in Virginia. We marched via Sharpsburg
+and Antietam.
+
+While passing through the woods three men were shot by Mosby’s cavalry.
+A march of sixteen miles and we halt within three miles of Harper’s
+Ferry. At Sandy Hook we remain until the morning of the 19th instant,
+when we move forward via Harper’s Ferry, to Hillsboro, Virginia.
+
+On the following morning we are early on the move, advancing as far
+as Snickersville, near the gap of that name, where pickets are thrown
+out and we bivouac for the night. We remain here for two days, during
+which time we muster and pass in review. Colonel W. T. Fitch recently
+promoted, and who has been absent on leave since March 28th, joined us
+here, and assumed command.
+
+On the morning of the 23d we again moved forward, passing through
+Upperville and on to Ashby’s gap, where, at a late hour, we go into
+camp. Having marched thirty miles since morning sleep was sweet that
+night, with mother earth for a bed, and only heaven’s blue canopy
+for a cover. At 3 o’clock on the morning of the 24th we march rapidly
+forward through the villages of Markham and Linden, halting for dinner
+at Manassas gap, then forward, changing direction by column to the
+south-southeast, in the direction of White Plains. Marching sixteen
+miles we halted for the night.
+
+The next day we marched to White Plains, and the next by the way of
+Thoroughfare gap, Haymarket, and Greenwich, the latter a pretty little
+village, settled by English people, for whose protection guards were
+stationed, as they were in fact in many instances for the protection
+of rebel property. After a brief halt we marched forward via Catlett’s
+station and Warrenton, where we joined the First and Eleventh corps of
+our army and encamped for the night, then forward again to Kelley’s
+Ford, on the Rappahannock, when, after a short visit, the brigade took
+cars for Alexandria, Virginia, under orders for New York city, to quell
+the memorable draft riots induced by the Southern sympathizers and
+copperheads.
+
+On August 23d we embarked on the steamer Baltic and moved down the
+Potomac. When near its outlet we went fast aground. This action
+occurred about noon on the 24th, and three days elapsed before we were
+again on the move. On the 28th, at 9:45 A. M., we round Cape Henry and
+strike the swells of the Atlantic. A rough sea soon sends many of the
+command to the rail to--well, if the reader was ever seasick he will
+appreciate the situation. It is not pleasant to linger long upon this
+scene; the recollection of it, even now, almost destroys one’s interest
+in sublunary affairs.
+
+On the 29th we pass the narrows and enter New York harbor, coming to
+anchor near Governor’s Island at 12 o’clock M.
+
+From our anchorage the view was grandly beautiful with the immense
+shipping, Brooklyn on the right, New York to the front, and Jersey City
+on the left. On the left of Governor’s Island Castle William (now used
+as a magazine) stands out in bold relief. To its right is the fort
+which protects the harbor. On September 1st we disembarked and went
+into camp on the island. The men are in fine spirits and delighted with
+the change.
+
+The troubles in the city having subsided we re-embarked aboard the
+Baltic, which, on the 8th day of September, heads towards the sea.
+When passing the narrows the guns of the fort thunder a salute; soon
+Sandy Hook is passed and we are again in the open sea, all happy at
+the prospect of going to the front, the inactivity of camp life with
+nothing to do having become tiresome in the extreme.
+
+On September 10th we came to anchor in Chesapeake Bay, where we
+remained one day, then passed on again to Alexandria, disembarked, and
+went into camp to the south of the town. Two days later and we again
+move forward to Elk creek, where we encamp for the night.
+
+September 16th, marched at 6 A. M., reached the Rappahannock at noon,
+and here rejoined our old brigade, moved forward to Raccoon ford on
+the north side of the Rapidan. General Lee’s forces are massed on the
+opposite shore of the river, and as we came up our ears were greeted
+with the pleasing sound of rapid musketry firing proceeding from the
+pickets of the two armies. During the afternoon we witnessed the
+execution of two deserters from the Seventy-eighth New York.
+
+During the last of September we learned of the defeat of the Western
+army at Chickamauga, and the Twelfth corps was at once transferred
+to the Department of the West, and without delay proceeded by rail
+to Washington, and thence via Wheeling, Columbus, Indianapolis,
+Nashville, to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where we arrived October 5th.
+
+After a few days’ rest the regiment again resume the march, passing
+Duck river, Bell Buckle, and Wartrace, when the Seventh Ohio halted,
+while the Twenty-ninth moved on to Normandy, on the Nashville &
+Chattanooga railroad. Here it remained in camp, with the usual routine
+of camp and picket duty until late in October, when the regiment and
+brigade broke camp, took the cars for Bridgeport, Alabama, where it
+arrived on the 27th, disembarked, and camped for the night. On the
+morning of October 28th the Twenty-ninth regiment crossed the Tennessee
+river with the wagon train. Halting at Shellmound for dinner, marched
+until late in the evening, and halted near White Sides, where all
+camped for the night. About 11 o’clock P. M. artillery firing, with
+heavy volleys of musketry, was heard in the direction of Chattanooga,
+continuing two or three hours.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XI.
+
+Murfreesboro--General Greene--The Mule Brigade--Congratulatory.
+
+
+While at Murfreesboro scouts reported that Wheeler’s cavalry was in
+the vicinity, and the Second division (Geary’s) was pushed forward to
+meet it, the First division remaining to guard the post and railway
+communication. Geary moved forward in the direction of Bridgeport,
+encountering Wheeler’s force near the line of the railway. A brief but
+sharp skirmish ensued, which resulted in the repulse and hasty retreat
+of the rebels. We then advanced without delay to Bridgeport. October
+27th the Second division, Geary commanding, with Creighton and Greene
+in command of the First and Second brigades, crossed the Tennessee, the
+object to open communication on the south side of the river by way of
+Wauhatchie valley and Lookout mountain for the relief of General Thomas
+at Chattanooga.
+
+Brigadier-general Greene, with three regiments of infantry and four
+pieces of Knapp’s battery, numbering about fifteen hundred men, with
+a wagon train of provisions, was sent to the relief of the famishing
+army at Chattanooga, the balance of our command following as fast as
+practicable with the immense supply train in charge. After we had
+encamped for the night the signal corps of General Greene informed
+us that his command had encamped at Wauhatchie, within six miles of
+Chattanooga. The knoll occupied by them derived its name from an Indian
+battle fought there years before. It is situated in the valley not far
+from the base of Lookout mountain. Knapp’s guns were placed in position
+facing Lookout, and pickets stationed perhaps fifty yards to the front.
+
+About midnight General Hood’s division came down from the heights of
+Lookout and quietly surrounded General Greene’s small force, and at
+once commenced an attack. Greene’s men, aroused from their slumber,
+hastily formed line under a most deadly fire from all sides, and one
+of the most desperate struggles on record ensued. We were awakened by
+the sound of the distant combat, and forming into line hastily advanced
+to their rescue. When we arrived Hood’s rebels had been routed and
+were flying in all directions, intent only on reaching their mountain
+stronghold. There was a regular stampede of the mules, which had broken
+loose and were braying furiously. This, with loud shouts from our men,
+must have induced a belief in the valorous rebel horde that a large
+force of cavalry was charging down upon them, and their fears and
+flight was indeed a grand burlesque finale to a terrible tragedy.
+
+General Greene had lost one-third of his force, killed and wounded,
+his ammunition was exhausted, and ordering the mules cut loose, he
+made a desperate bayonet charge to cut his way to freedom. The mules
+providentially moved in the same direction, mingling the thunder of
+their tread and their awful voices with the shouts of Greene’s men, and
+our own, to let them know that assistance was coming. The effect was to
+throw Hood’s rebel army into a wild panic and put them to rout. Three
+hundred prisoners and about one thousand stand of arms were captured.
+Every man of Knapp’s battery, save one only, was either killed or
+wounded. Among the former was Lieutenant Geary, son of General John W.
+Geary. The ground was covered with the dead and injured of both the
+blue and the gray.
+
+While assisting the wounded and burying the dead, Generals Grant,
+Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective staffs, arrived from
+Chattanooga. The former coolly remarked as he surveyed the bloody
+scene: “Well, boys, you must have had a hot time of it, judging from
+appearances.” There was silence among the men, who knew that an army
+was cosily reposing but four miles away, which could easily have
+averted the terrible bloodshed, but were so completely disheartened
+by the defeat at Chickamauga that they dare not venture from their
+stronghold to the relief of gallant “Corporal” Greene, who happily
+turned defeat into a heroic victory.
+
+The following lines, composed by one of our command, fully relates the
+grand finale and
+
+
+CHARGE OF THE MULE BRIGADE.
+
+  Half a mile, half a mile,
+  Half a mile onward,
+  Right towards the Georgia troops
+    Broke the two hundred.
+  “Forward the Mule Brigade,
+  Charge for the rebs!” they neighed;
+  Straight for the Georgia troops
+    Broke the two hundred.
+
+  “Forward the Mule Brigade!”
+  Was there a mule dismayed?
+  Not when the long ears felt
+    All their ropes sundered.
+  Theirs not to make reply;
+  Theirs not to reason why;
+  Theirs but to make them fly;
+  On to the Georgia troops
+    Broke the two hundred.
+
+  Mules to the right of them,
+  Mules to the left of them,
+  Mules behind them
+    Pawed, neighed, and thundered.
+  Breaking their own confines,
+  Breaking through Longstreet’s lines,
+  Into the Georgia troops
+    Stormed the two hundred.
+
+  Wild all their eyes did glare,
+  Whisked all their tails in air,
+  Scatt’ring the chivalry there,
+    While all the world wondered.
+  Not a mule’s back bestraddled,
+  Yet how they all skedaddled;
+  Fled every Georgian
+  Unsabred, unsaddled,
+  Scattered and sundered.
+  How they were routed there
+    By the two hundred.
+
+  Mules to the right of them,
+  Mules to the left of them.
+  Mules behind them
+    Pawed, neighed, and thundered;
+  Followed by hoof and head
+  Full many a hero fled,
+  Fain in the last ditch dead;
+  Back from an “ass’s jaw,”
+  All that was left of them--
+    Left by the two hundred.
+
+  When can their glory fade?
+  Oh! the wild charge they made!
+    All the world wondered.
+  Honor the charge they made,
+  Honor the Mule Brigade--
+    Long-eared two hundred.
+
+Major-general George H. Thomas issued an order complimenting the column
+under Major-general Hooker, which took possession of the line from
+Bridgeport to the foot of Lookout Mountain, for their brilliant success
+in driving the enemy from every position which they attacked. The
+repulse by General Geary’s command of the greatly superior numbers who
+attempted to surprise him, will rank among the most distinguished feats
+of arms of the war.
+
+We moved forward the next evening, and threw up a line of works on the
+site of this night attack.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XII.
+
+Lookout Mountain--The Battle--The Regiment Re-enlist.
+
+
+The line of General Geary’s division now extends along the foot of
+Lookout mountain, parallel with the rebel line, and only separated from
+it by the creek along its base. For nearly ten days the commissary
+stores intended for us have been largely forwarded to Chattanooga,
+leaving us with scarcely anything to eat. When on the skirmish line
+we often sent our reserves around to the right of the mountain to
+secure corn from a field in that location, held by the rebels, and
+quite lively little fights would result. Our boys always returned with
+corn, however, which we parched to allay in part the bitter pangs of
+hunger. As with everything earthly our long fast ended, rations came,
+and life began to seem almost worth living, exchanges of coffee and
+tobacco were almost hourly made between the Union and rebel soldiers,
+each forgetting for the time the hate engendered over the fight for
+corn. Our main line was being strongly fortified, the rebels meanwhile
+keeping up an almost continuous bombardment of our line from their
+batteries on the heights of Lookout. Strong details were employed in
+cutting away the forest on our front to enable our artillery to cover
+an hourly expected attack. The situation remained the same until
+November 23d, when, toward night, the beat of the “long roll” called
+Geary’s division to arms. It at once moved promptly forward, formed
+line of battle, facing Lookout heights, and advanced to its base along
+the creek. Osterhaus’ division of the Fifteenth corps, and Whittaker’s
+brigade, of the Fourth corps, now advanced to the left of Geary’s
+division. The rebels soon discovered this movement and promptly moved
+a strong force down the mountain side within easy musket range, where
+they strongly fortified during the night.
+
+The morning of November 24th opened out a simultaneous discharge of
+our entire artillery, which was parked along the mountain’s point, the
+infantry on our left advancing to the base of the mountain. The First
+brigade, led by Colonel Creighton, and followed by the Second and
+Third brigades, moved rapidly up the creek to the right under cover
+of the woods, then debouching to the left. The First brigade took
+the advance and began the ascent of Lookout heights, being favored
+by a friendly ravine extending toward the crest of the mountain. The
+brigade had advanced perhaps two-thirds of the distance before the
+enemy discovered its movements, and now the men renew their efforts,
+driving the enemy before them despite the terrible fire poured into
+our advance, and after a desperate struggle reach the rocky crest and
+disappear in a thick mist (referred to by most writers, we believe,
+as clouds, and which gave this engagement the title of the “battle
+above the clouds”). The line of the whole division is extended, and in
+a moment sweeps down in an impetuous charge on both the rebel flank
+and rear. Their batteries are reached, the cannoniers beaten back,
+and the guns captured. Onward, upward, with loud cheers our columns
+rush to victory, carrying everything before them. A whole brigade is
+captured, and Lookout mountain, since famous in song and story, is
+ours. This victory was won by Geary’s men, assisted only by Whittaker’s
+brigade acting as support. The troops below now came gallantly(?) up
+the mountain to claim, as usual, the honors won, as the voluminous
+reports subsequently written by their generals amply attest. Geary
+and his brigade commanders had no reports to make save that their
+division stormed the heights and carried them, capturing the enemy’s
+artillery and the entire rebel force occupying the main defenses of the
+mountain. Some time after the capture the standard of the “white star”
+division was planted on the crest and the stars and stripes was soon
+waving beside it. No danger was incurred by this, as none of the enemy
+remained except the prisoners, yet it has been written and rewritten as
+if it were an event of some importance.
+
+“The morning of November 25th revealed the white star standard of Geary
+and the glorious old stars and stripes to the army below, floating
+triumphantly side by side on Lookout’s rocky crest. Prolonged huzzas
+greeted the victors from below, and to confirm that ‘to the victors
+belong the spoils,’ a detachment from two regiments of Geary’s command
+take charge of the prisoners, seven stand of colors, and a great number
+of cannon captured.”
+
+The rebels had burned the bridge across Lookout creek, which delayed
+our further advance a short time. A bridge was soon improvised,
+however, and a crossing was effected. The command moved on to
+Rossville, where it engaged Braggs’ left, while General Thomas,
+advancing from Chattanooga valley, moved up Missionary ridge, striking
+Bragg a crushing blow in the center, and Pap Sherman was making it warm
+for his right flank. About 2 o’clock P. M. the firing became general
+along the entire line, which continued until late in the afternoon,
+when the rebels were driven from the field with great loss. The Union
+army advanced a short distance and bivouacked for the night.
+
+November 26, we moved on after the retreating army, and at a small
+creek near Greysville, Georgia, had a skirmish, driving the enemy as
+far as Ringgold and Taylor’s ridge, where they were in position behind
+breastwork in the narrow pass extending through the ridge in the
+direction of Dalton.
+
+27th. Geary’s division made a gallant charge upon the rebel works.
+The First brigade, commanded by Colonel William R. Creighton, made a
+direct assault on Taylor’s ridge, while the Second and Third brigades
+engaged the rebels in the narrow defile. After a terrible struggle
+the Nationals were forced back a short distance. A battery was moved
+forward and placed in position, which opened with double shotted guns
+upon the enemy, soon driving them precipitately to the rear, leaving
+the Nationals in possession of the field. In this engagement the Union
+loss was quite heavy.
+
+On the 28th the army moved back, Geary’s division reaching Wauhatchie
+valley on the 29th. Resting a few days, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio
+regiment broke camp and on December 3d moved across Lookout creek,
+marched about two miles west of Summerville, on Lookout mountain,
+where it camped for the night. Returned to its old camp at Wauhatchie,
+Tennessee, on the 5th day of December, and the campaign of 1863 ended.
+
+At Wauhatchie, on the 10th day of December, 1863, the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio, though now reduced to less than three hundred effective men for
+duty, almost to a man re-enlisted for three years more, should the
+war so long continue, and were given a thirty-days’ furlough home
+for the purpose of recruiting. The headquarters of the regiment was
+established at Cleveland, Ohio. It remained here some two months. At
+last the decimated ranks were filled and, on the morning of February
+8, 1864, the regiment bade a second good bye to friends, and amidst
+their prayers for success and a safe return departed for the front,
+determined to die for the flag if necessary, and, after a tedious ride
+of many weary miles arrived at Bridgeport, Alabama, via Louisville,
+Nashville, and Murfreesboro, where it went into winter quarters and
+remained until the opening of the spring campaign of 1864.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XIII.
+
+Shelmound--Wauhatchie Valley--Ringgold--Battle of Dug or Mill Creek Gap
+or Buzzard’s Roost--On the Move.
+
+
+On the morning of May 3, 1864, at 10 o’clock, we broke camp, crossed
+the Tennessee river, and moved eastward along its south bank to
+Shelmound, where we encamped for the night. On the following day the
+march was resumed, the column halting for dinner in Wauhatchie valley.
+Crossing Lookout Creek and mountain, we encamped for the night on its
+east side and two miles distant from Chattanooga. The column resumed
+its line of march at 7 A. M., on the 5th. Moving cautiously during the
+day, in the advance, it halted for the night a short distance west
+of Ringgold, Georgia. At daybreak on the following morning we moved
+forward, and about 9 o’clock formed line of battle, remaining here
+during the day and subsequent night. The beat of the “long roll” on the
+following morning called us to arms, and we immediately advanced in
+line of battle. When near Gordon’s Springs General Kilpatrick passed
+to our right with his command. Our column came to a halt for the night
+near Tunnel hill.
+
+At about 11 A. M., on May 8th, we pushed forward in order of columns
+right in front, and at 3 o’clock arrived in front of John’s Mountain at
+Rocky Face Ridge, on the summit of which the enemy were entrenched in
+force. The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+of the First brigade, Colonel Candy commanding, with three regiments
+of Buschbeck’s Second brigade, formed in line, the latter on the
+right, and in this order at once moved forward to storm the ridge.
+The position of the Twenty-ninth regiment in the assaulting column
+was on the extreme left, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania next on its
+right, connecting with the Second brigade. Our instructions were to
+make a strong demonstration, and to carry, if possible, the rebel
+position. While advancing to the assault, the brass bands in our
+rear indiscreetly commenced playing National airs, which attracted
+the attention of the rebel commander, who rapidly concentrated
+reinforcements in our front. The advance up the declivity was nearly
+as difficult as Lookout Mountain, and more completely fortified. Its
+summit was steep, precipitous, and covered with scraggy rocks and
+immense boulders. From our position we commanded a fine view of Dug
+Gap, a narrow, artificial cut through the rocky summit, connecting with
+a road extending almost parallel with the ridge to the gap beyond,
+and by a zigzag course reaching the mountain’s base. The rebels had
+so completely fortified themselves that it was next to impossible for
+our assaulting force to get nearer than their base. As we approached
+the rebel line, a regiment was moved by left flank across our front.
+At this moment the rebel line opened a fire so deadly in effect that
+the regiment in our front became disordered and broke through our
+ranks to the rear, causing a momentary confusion in the ranks of the
+Twenty-ninth regiment. At this moment the order was given to advance,
+which was executed with a rush despite the deadly volleys that were
+cutting through our ranks. Up! up! we go to death or victory! and
+commenced to scale the obstructions close to their works; and now a
+storm of deadly missiles are hurled against us. Rocks, boulders, and
+even cart-wheels come crashing down upon us. Yet we moved steadily in
+the deadly advance until ordered back by our officers, when we retired
+a few paces to reform our line, the fallen trees only separating us
+from the enemy.
+
+Here we made a determined and bloody fight, but having no support to
+cover our flank we were subjected to a deadly cross-fire from the
+left, yet the regiment stubbornly stood its ground, returning shot for
+shot until its ammunition was exhausted. More was secured from the
+cartridge-boxes of the dead and wounded, and with this we fought on,
+determined to hold the position until reinforcements should reach us.
+Just before dusk an order came from the commanding general for the
+Twenty-ninth regiment to retire, all the other regiments having done
+so some time previous. To cover our retreat a line of skirmishers was
+thrown out, composed of men from each company who volunteered for this
+dangerous duty, and right nobly did they perform this work, firing with
+deadly precision as they retired from the field into the valley below,
+where the Twenty-ninth were already in bivouac, and comrades cheered
+lustily as the skirmishers came in, happy to know they had not met the
+fate of others.
+
+John Davis, of company B, a Scotchman by birth and one of the best
+shots in the regiment, fired the last shot in this day’s action, and
+was the last to leave the field.
+
+The Twenty-ninth regiment in this fight distinguished itself by brave
+conduct, though at last compelled to retire from lack of support. Our
+losses in killed and wounded was more than double that of any other
+regiment engaged: Killed, 26; wounded, 67; captured 1; total 94.
+
+General Geary highly complimented the regiment for its gallantry,
+remarking that he never saw men advance under such murderous fire,
+especially when unsupported and where the chances of success were so
+desperate. The Twenty-ninth regiment lost nearly one-third its numbers
+during this three hours’ engagement, and many were the individual
+acts of heroism displayed, which it would give the writer pleasure to
+record. As but few are now remembered, the remainder would suffer an
+injustice were these given. It is, however, but simple justice to state
+that the regiment fully sustained its previous reputation as a fighting
+organization, each individual doing his full share in the terrible
+work. Subsequent events proved that this assault was made to draw the
+enemy to this point, thus giving McPherson’s corps and Kilpatrick’s
+cavalry an opportunity to possess Snake Creek Gap, a desirable
+situation several miles in our right rear, opening a flank movement
+directly on the enemy’s rear.
+
+On May 9th we encamp at Mill Creek, near Johns Mountain, where we
+remain until 12 o’clock, midnight. We then move to the right and throw
+up earthworks. May 10th we are still at work. We receive the news
+of General Grant’s victory over General Lee at the Wilderness, near
+Chancellorsville, Virginia, where our regiment received such a baptism
+of blood a little more than a year since. Alas! how many of our brave
+boys have gone down to death since then.
+
+May 11th. Still in the same position, hourly expecting orders to move;
+quartermasters remove all extra baggage to the rear; all men unable
+for active service sent to hospital, and everything possible put into
+perfect fighting order, and by the way it’s ever so much nicer penning
+these lines here in our cosy room in the far away Western Reserve of
+the Buckeye State than was the actual experience in Secessia during
+those early May days of 1864.
+
+On the 12th instant we moved forward to Snake Creek Gap, forming a
+junction with the Fifteenth and Sixteenth corps (McPherson’s), where we
+remained during the night. At 2 o’clock P. M. on the following day we
+advanced toward Resaca, fully occupying Snake Creek Gap. Our cavalry
+are sharply engaged with the enemy. Here brave General Kilpatrick is
+wounded. At 4 o’clock P. M. the battle is still raging fiercely, and the
+enemy are being slowly driven back. At last a hill is captured which
+covers the entire rebel line. Here we fortify and rest for the night.
+
+May 14th a severe engagement opens near Resaca; we advance by a
+circuitous route to the left; the Fourteenth corps is engaged; during
+the afternoon we joined our Twentieth corps and moving rapidly to
+the left; succeeded in rescuing a portion of the Fourth corps from
+disaster and defeat, and one of its batteries from certain capture,
+the infantry support having been driven back, leaving the battery at
+the mercy of the rebels. Robinson’s brigade, of Williams’ division,
+Twentieth corps, who were in the advance, fortunately reached the
+scene of action in time to prevent the capture of another battery by
+making a counter-charge on the advancing rebel legions. We came up soon
+after this support, which soon ended in the complete repulse of the
+rebels, driving them beyond their fortifications. The Twentieth army
+corps received the compliments of the commanding general, Hooker, for
+their gallant work, which resulted in a loss to the enemy of some four
+hundred men killed and wounded.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XIV.
+
+Battle of Resaca, Georgia--In Pursuit of the Fleeing Chivalry (?)
+
+
+At an early hour on the morning of May 15th sharp skirmishing opened
+along our entire front. General Geary’s Second division moved a short
+distance to the left and halted for orders. About 11 o’clock Generals
+Sherman, Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective staffs, reached the
+battlefield and immediately held a council of war. General Hooker is
+requested to assume command of selected troops to take the offensive,
+and is asked how large a force he required to capture a certain fort
+directly in our front, known to be the enemy’s stronghold and the key
+to his position. Hooker astonished his superiors by replying: “Geary’s
+division can, I think, carry that position if it can be done by
+anyone.” As this conversation was heard by our men we were prepared for
+what was to follow.
+
+As soon as General Geary had received his instructions, the Second
+division moved to the attack in the following orders: Second and Third
+brigades in the advance, with the First brigade closely massed in their
+rear, the latter advancing closely in support of the attacking column.
+Our advance was met with obstinate resistance, yet we steadily pushed
+forward, driving the enemy back and gaining possession of three lines
+of hills in rapid succession, the last of which was in close proximity
+to the rebel fort, only a narrow ravine intervening. The enemy are
+strongly entrenched in earthworks extending in the rear of the fort.
+The First brigade commenced a rapid firing at short range to cover the
+sortie being made by regiments of the Second and Third brigades. These
+regiments rush gallantly forward to the assault. They are repulsed
+but quickly reform, and, with other regiments sent to their support,
+they again pass forward. The fort was captured and lost three times
+in succession, but at last the rebels are forced to flee before our
+furious charge. Leaving the guns they join the main line.
+
+The Union forces prevented the rebels from again occupying the fort
+until dark, when detachments from the Twenty-ninth and other Ohio
+regiments of the First brigade were sent to open a trench through the
+earthworks of the fort through which to move the guns into the ravine
+below. The rebels discovering this charged down upon us to recapture
+the guns. Expecting such an attack the First brigade had moved forward
+into the ravine, and now waited the coming of the rebels. When close
+upon them a signal was given, which was followed by a sheet of flame
+along our whole line, dealing terrible destruction into the rebel
+ranks, immediately followed by a determined bayonet charge, which threw
+their lines into disorder and they fled panic-stricken over their
+fortifications, closely pursued by our command, whose loud huzzas sent
+Johnston’s army in rapid retreat, abandoned all its cannon, hospital,
+and commissary stores, and with their usual savagery leaving their own
+dead and wounded upon the field. We also captured many prisoners.
+
+This success was a grand victory for the “white star” division of
+the Twentieth corps, yet not unattended with losses, which were,
+however, light in comparison with those of the enemy. In fact, in the
+night attack we had so thoroughly surprised the enemy that but feeble
+resistance was made.
+
+At an early hour on the morning of May 16th we pushed rapidly forward
+in pursuit of the retreating rebels. At 9 o’clock A. M. we came into
+line on the bank of the Coosa river, near the railroad bridge, which
+our cavalry had prevented the rebels from burning, though they had made
+repeated efforts to do so. The enemy’s flight was so rapid that he had
+not even time to seriously impair the railroad track. Our locomotives,
+with trains of supplies, soon came in sight. We now advanced across the
+river and encamped for the night.
+
+At 12 M. on May 17th, the general forward movement of our army was
+resumed. The Twenty-ninth regiment was the advance guard of its
+division, and assisted in driving the rebels from the little village
+of Calhoun, where we halt for the night. At 5 o’clock on the following
+morning we again moved forward in the direction of Rome, Georgia. At
+Rome cross-roads the rebels were met and promptly engaged by the Fourth
+corps; a lively fight ensued, resulting in slight losses on both sides.
+The enemy retreated, and we continued the pursuit until 9 o’clock P. M.,
+when we encamped for the night.
+
+On the next morning at early dawn we pushed forward, continuing until
+3 o’clock P. M., when we halt and form line near Kingston, Georgia.
+The whole force of the enemy are immediately on our front, and the
+Fourth corps promptly open fire upon them, which resulted in a further
+movement of the chivalry to the rear.
+
+We remain here until the morning of May 23d when we move about daylight
+via Cassville and Cass station to the Etowah river, which is crossed on
+pontoons, and a halt for the night made on its opposite bank. The next
+morning we resume the weary march, coming into line of battle at about
+9 A. M. We advanced in this order up the Raccoon hills, or Allatoona
+range, until night, when we encamp at Burnt Hickory. The First brigade,
+as advance guard, moved ahead at daybreak, via the Burnt Hickory road.
+

+CHAPTER XV.
+
+Pumpkin Vine Creek--Dallas, or New Hope Church--Slight
+Unpleasantness--Personal.
+
+
+At Pumpkin Vine creek we discover the enemy and drive back his
+skirmishers, who are stationed on its opposite bank, recovering the
+bridge, which we cross and throw out skirmishers on the opposite side.
+While this was being accomplished, General Hooker and Staff, with a
+small body guard, pushed ahead to reconnoiter. He had not advanced far,
+however, when he was attacked by a force of rebel sharp shooters. He
+now came tearing back into our lines shouting to General Geary to move
+his First brigade into position to hold the enemy in check until the
+Second and Third brigades should come up, they being some four miles
+in our rear. We quickly formed line by columns to the right and left,
+the Twenty-ninth Ohio occupying position on the extreme left, Knapp’s
+battery taking position immediately in our rear, to cover the bridge in
+case we were forced to retire before reinforcements should reach us. As
+the left company of the Twenty-ninth were completing the battle-line a
+rebel column was found marching in close proximity to our flank.
+
+Ten paces to the front the skirmishers were hotly engaged, but our
+flank was uncovered. We immediately face to the left and prepare to
+fire, but are prevented by instructions not to draw on a general
+engagement but to hold the position at all hazards. The rebel column on
+our flank, however, slowly retired without firing a gun, and forming
+on their main line, which was massed in the woods a short distance
+to our front. During this time we hastily changed front in form of a
+semi-circle to protect us from flank attack. This movement was executed
+none too soon, as the enemy came immediately to the attack, and a
+sharp engagement opened all along the line, which was a hot one, yet
+it gallantly held its own until the balance of its division came up.
+Forming in column with us, we advance on the rebel line and drive them
+slowly back.
+
+The battle now became fierce and our assaults were heroically met.
+Generals Hooker and Geary were present and ordered the attack, the
+plan of which was to advance lines and fire, to be followed by bayonet
+charges, by which the enemy was steadily driven back. Our front line
+was frequently relieved by columns from the rear, thus keeping fresh
+men at the front. Geary’s division alone had driven Hood’s rebel corps
+back to the forks of the road at New Hope church, when Butterfield’s
+Third division arrived and took position on our left. Soon after,
+Williams came up with the First division and passed to the front, which
+allowed the Second division to drop in the reserve long enough to clean
+our firearms and replenish cartridge-boxes, when we again advance in
+support of the First and Third divisions.
+
+Just as the sun disappeared in the western horizon, General Geary
+ordered the First brigade to charge the enemy. This movement was
+executed on the double-quick, and as our columns passed in perfect
+alignment to the front, Butterfield’s and Williams’ commands greeted
+us with hearty cheers of genuine admiration. Onward the column rushes,
+and closing with the enemy delivers a terrible volley. The charge is
+continued, the air resounding with defiant cheers as the enemy is
+driven from the field and down a hill at a brisk run. It was now
+beginning to grow dark, and the impetuous rush of the men soon brought
+them within a short distance of a line of brush-covered work which
+concealed the enemy’s batteries, who at once opened a terrific and
+deadly fire of grape and canister into our ranks. Instantly falling
+on the ground, we deliver so destructive a fire on their cannoniers
+that their guns are soon silenced. Our left being without support, an
+attempt to carry their works was extremely hazardous. The regiment on
+our right had already retired some distance to our right rear, making
+the situation of the Twenty-ninth regiment one of great danger, but
+owing to the darkness we knew nothing of it until an officer of Geary’s
+staff came forward with an order to fall back, when we retired to a
+position some forty paces from the rebel line.
+
+The enemy had now ceased firing, and perfect silence reigned, only
+broken by the groans of the wounded and dying. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment had suffered severe loss, and only the favorable depression in
+its front saved it from annihilation. W. F. Stevens, captain of company
+B, was wounded in this action.
+
+The Fifth Ohio, on our right on higher ground, suffered fearfully from
+the masked batteries, one company being almost entirely decimated. This
+caused the regiment to retire to the knoll. Colonel Patrick, a most
+gallant officer of the Fifth, was killed, also seventy-five of his men
+killed and wounded. The loss of the Twenty-ninth Ohio in this charge
+was forty killed and wounded, shot down in almost the short space of
+time required to record it.
+
+It was not long before we heard tremendous cheering in the distance on
+our right front, which was caused by Sherman moving a force in that
+direction, turning the rebel flank, which was soon in full retreat.
+Immediately after, sounds were heard in the supposed deserted rebel
+works, which we believed were our own men who had recently occupied
+them, and by reason of this supposed safety our whole command was soon
+in slumber deep and heavy from exhaustion of the day’s labor.
+
+At early dawn on May 26th the enemy discovered our close proximity,
+and at once opened upon us with artillery, and at about the same time
+advanced its infantry to attack us in our rear. This movement was
+discovered, however, in time to prevent its further progress. After
+a hot fight the enemy retired to his fortifications. During the day
+several attempts were made in the same direction, but without effect.
+Near the close of the day we were temporarily relieved and retired to
+a ravine a few yards in our rear, where we received rations, the first
+“square meal” in two days.
+
+At an early hour the following morning (May 27th) our artillery took
+position at the breastworks and opened a furious cannonading, which is
+replied to with spirit by the rebel batteries. During the afternoon the
+enemy made a sortie on our line, a general engagement ensued, and the
+rebels were beaten back. The Twenty-ninth regiment loss was slight, we
+being well protected by rifle pits. The rebel loss in this attack was
+severe, their dead and wounded being thickly strewn in front of our
+works. During this attack General Sherman and staff took position in
+our rear. General Hooker is generally where the bullets fly thickest,
+and his utter disregard of danger has won the love of the “boys,” who
+call him “Uncle Joe,” and who are all, at any time, ready to go through
+fire if he so desires, knowing he will not ask them to go where he
+fears to lead.
+
+The battle continues throughout the following day, with brisk
+infantry firing and heavy cannonading almost incessantly. As night
+again shrouds the bloody field the Twenty-ninth regiment, with the
+exception of company B, which was on the skirmish line, relieved the
+Seventh Ohio, One Hundred and Ninth, and One Hundred and Forty-seventh
+Pennsylvania. The rebels were unusually quiet during the night. Company
+B remained on the skirmish nearly all of the following day and was kept
+hotly engaged. The company’s position was not more than eight rods from
+the rebel outposts, who made it extremely hot for us as we went back
+and forth to the relief of our comrades, and sometimes unsoldierly
+attitudes were assumed to evade their deadly aim. Late in the day
+company B was relieved. Henry Brainard, Spencer Atkin, and Henry Clark
+volunteered to go out and bring in the bodies of Albert Atkin, C. A.
+Davis, and Jerome Phinney, which they did, the enemy opening fire upon
+them with musketry and artillery, the deadly missiles flying thick
+and fast about them. Such was the treatment of the “chivalry” to men
+bravely exposing themselves to give Christian interment to the gallant
+men who had fought their last battle. However, none were injured.
+While performing the last sad rites of burial, the rebels came out
+in a sortie and made furious assaults along our entire line. Our men
+reserved their fire until the enemy were close upon them, when, at a
+given signal, some twenty cannon, double shotted with grape, opened
+fire, which made the earth tremble with their awful thunder, while
+the infantry sent deadly volleys into their ranks. The result of this
+fire was most terrible slaughter to the enemy, who broke and ran
+anywhere to cover, leaving several hundred dead and dying behind, the
+ground between the two lines being literally covered with the rebel
+dead. During the 30th there were several sharp fights, our regiment
+having several men wounded. May 31st the regiment was under fire, as
+usual, the greater part of the day, and at night was engaged in the
+construction of an advanced line of works, under a heavy fire from
+the entire rebel line. Before they were fully completed the rebels
+commenced an attack and we fell back on the main line. General Geary
+being present, exclaimed, “Get back to your command in readiness for
+an engagement.” One ensued, which resulted in driving the enemy back
+with severe loss to them. We now resumed work and finally succeeded in
+completing the line, though continually annoyed by the enemy’s firing.
+
+On the morning of June 1st the regiment resumed its place on the front
+line and was soon furiously engaged, which continued during the fore
+part of the day. At noon the Twentieth corps was relieved by Logan’s
+Fifteenth corps and moved to the left as support to the Fourth corps
+(General Howard). The following morning we moved towards the left and
+at 11 o’clock A. M. formed line and pushed forward in concert with
+Schofield’s Twenty-third corps. We capture two lines of rebel works,
+the enemy falling back. That night we slept on our arms. At dawn on the
+3d we advanced and were soon engaged with the enemy, the skirmishing
+along our whole line being very strong. During the day Sherman
+succeeded in turning the rebel right, causing him to retire with severe
+loss. Twenty-ninth loss: Killed, six; wounded, twenty-four; captured,
+one; total thirty-one. This is the tenth day we have been under fire.
+4th.--Firing during all of last night. All quiet to-day.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XVI.
+
+Advance to Pine Knob--Battle at that Place--A Forward Movement.
+
+
+At 5 o’clock on the morning of June 6th, the army pushed forward after
+the retreating enemy. When about two miles from Ackworth Station
+he makes a stand, and we wheel into line, the Twenty-ninth acting
+as skirmishers while the other troops were engaged in preparing
+rifle-pits. The Fourteenth corps now came up, forming on our left,
+and General Howard’s Fourth corps on our right. The position remained
+the same until June 10th, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio is sent forward
+on a reconnoissance. A large force of rebels are found to be strongly
+entrenched on Pine mountain. At dark the regiment returned to the main
+line, where the situation remains unchanged until June 14th, when our
+entire force move forward. The Twentieth, with the Fourth corps on
+its left, take position immediately in front of the rebel army, on
+Pine mountain. At evening the Twenty-ninth was again advanced to the
+skirmish line, and was engaged, as was our artillery, throughout the
+greater part of the night. On the following day, June 15th, occurs the
+battle of Pine Knob, Georgia.
+
+At early dawn our regiment pushed forward as the advance of a general
+flank movement on Pine mountain, which resulted in its capture without
+severe fighting. The Twentieth corps was changed from the front to
+the right. Moving rapidly in that direction it soon reached another
+strongly entrenched position of the enemy, when the column made a
+left half wheel, which brought the first brigade of Geary’s division
+directly in front of Pine Knob.
+
+This position of the enemy was found to be strongly fortified. Twenty
+embrazures, from which as many cannon bristled, covered all the
+approaches to it. General Hooker ordered General Geary to send two
+regiments in a sortie against the rebel position, and the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments, the latter on our left,
+were at once forwarded to the assault. General Hooker, mounted on his
+famous gray charger, advanced with us, immediately in rear of our line.
+The general’s presence greatly encouraged the men in this desperate
+undertaking.
+
+On the hill were the twenty cannon, which we knew would soon belch
+forth destruction to our ranks. The two regiments silently but rapidly
+cross a ravine where they encounter two rebel regiments. These proved
+to be the First and Twenty-ninth Georgia. We opened fire briskly and
+charging upon them soon drove them in disorder to the rear.
+
+We pursued them so hotly that our standard-bearer was at one time
+within a few paces of the rebel Twenty-ninth Georgia colors, which we
+were making desperate efforts to capture. The rebel color-bearer was
+shot, but their flag was grasped again by another rebel who escaped
+with it into their fortification. But the regiment to which he belonged
+was nearly annihilated before it succeeded in regaining its main line.
+Our regiment had rushed upon them forcing them back step by step until
+they were under cover, and we had succeeded in killing, wounding,
+and taking prisoners all except the little handful who escaped with
+the flag. At the moment of their escape we made a dash to carry
+their fortifications, but were checked by abattis and a deep trench
+hidden by brush. At this point their artillery opened with murderous
+discharges of grape and canister, which produced terrible destruction
+in our ranks. Still the line stands firm. Another instant and our men
+are laying flat upon the ground and the deadly missiles go hissing
+harmlessly through the air over our heads. We now open a fire upon
+their cannoniers, so deadly in its character that the guns are soon
+silenced.
+
+Night was fast coming on when our line was ordered to fall back to a
+more secure position. The men now engage in the erection of earthworks
+within a few rods of the rebel fort on the knob, which placed the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio in the extreme front, our flanking regiments assuming
+a circular position on our right and left rear. We were under fire all
+night, the rebel infantry and artillery keeping up an almost continuous
+rattle in their endeavors to drive our men from their labors on the
+fortifications. Despite this, however, we held our position, though
+suffering a constant loss in our ranks.
+
+Just at daybreak on the 16th instant the Sixty-sixth Ohio, of our
+brigade from the reserve, relieved us; we, however, left them well
+protected by the strong earthworks constructed during the night.
+
+The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment went into this action with two hundred
+members, of whom thirty-nine were killed and wounded. Among the
+killed was First Sergeant Joel E. Tanner, one of our bravest men.
+Soon after his death his commission reached us promoting him to a
+captaincy for bravery in action. God help that little wife of his in
+her far away northern home to bear his death bravely as the wife of
+a soldier should, even though all her hopes and bright anticipations
+seem shattered by the blow. Generals Joe Hooker and Geary announced
+in warm terms their admiration of the “gallant manner in which the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments conducted
+themselves in the assault on Pine Knob.” The former remarked that
+taking into consideration the deadly fire we were exposed to, we had
+accomplished that which he never saw so small a force attempt before.
+As he was present in the assault his opinion is of value.
+
+Sharp skirmishing and artillery firing continued along the line during
+the day. At night the Twenty-ninth regiment moved to the front,
+relieving the Sixty-sixth Ohio regiment. It was nearly morning when we
+discovered that the enemy were withdrawing their artillery. We at once
+advanced and possessed the rebel fortifications on the hill with little
+trouble, as the artillery had already withdrawn and the infantry were
+rapidly following. After daylight we pushed forward, only to find the
+enemy in another strong position, which we at once attacked. A rambling
+fire was kept up during the entire day.
+
+During the following day (June 18th) the same state of affairs
+continued, the firing extending along our entire front. At an early
+hour next morning the enemy retreated, and we moved in pursuit, the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment, as usual, in the advance as skirmishers.
+Why, I believe the “boys” would have rebelled had they not been put
+on the skirmish line whenever there was a prospect of somebody being
+killed on our side. Rapidly we gained possession of two lines of hills,
+and soon found the enemy upon a third ridge, strongly fortified. A
+skirmish of two hours’ duration ensues, and we are ordered to fall back
+to the main line, as support to Bundy’s Thirteenth New York battery.
+
+June 20th the Twenty-ninth regiment and its brigade are in line three
+miles southwest of Marietta, Georgia, and skirmished all day with the
+enemy. As night came on our division moved to the right, forming on the
+right of Butterfield’s Third division. Our regiment was again on the
+skirmish line, and in active engagement during the greater part of the
+night. The next morning we formed line of battle near Culp’s farm and
+to the right of Little Kenesaw mountain. At about 11 A. M. our regiment
+was withdrawn from the skirmish line, and at once began throwing up
+rifle-pits parallel with works of Williams’ First division on our right
+and Butterfield’s on our left. The Third brigade of the Second division
+now advanced and engaged the enemy, our single line affording feeble
+protection in the event of an attack on our position.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XVII.
+
+Battle of Culp’s Farm or Kenesaw Mountain--The Glorious Fourth--Advance
+to the Chattahoochie.
+
+
+June 22d we move to the front, and occupy a ridge on Culp’s farm, which
+covers the level on our front. We had been but a short time in this
+position when the rebel General Hood’s corps was moved directly on our
+front, and immediately advanced in furious attack upon the divisions of
+Generals Geary and Williams. Our artillery was at once turned upon the
+advancing rebel columns, which, with the terrific volleys our infantry
+poured into their ranks, produced a sudden check to their further
+advance, and in less than one hour these two divisions succeeded in
+beating back and putting to total rout Hood’s entire command, which
+suffered great loss, while ours was but slight. The enemy left on the
+field 2,100 killed, wounded, and prisoners, besides many wounded,
+removed from the field. The estimated rebel loss was 3,000 men. Eight
+hundred of the rebel dead were buried on the field.
+
+At the close of this action a body of our skirmishers were deployed
+over the field, finding the enemy’s dead and wounded scattered thickly
+about. In places they lay stretched across each other, literally heaped
+up, bloody, terrible--dead. Our skirmishers advanced rapidly, and
+were soon engaged with the enemy’s rear, but this soon ceased, and we
+established a picket line for the night. We remained on the field until
+noon of the 23d, when we were retired and rejoined the main line.
+
+At about 4 o’clock P. M., one hundred guns opened a simultaneous
+fire on Little Kenesaw mountain. Directly in front of our regiment
+and across the creek, which flows along the base of the mountain, is
+level ground. At this point is situated a block-house and rifle-pits,
+the latter between the house and mountain, and both now held by rebel
+sharpshooters, who were continually picking off our cannoniers. General
+Geary, evidently contemplating an advance of his line, called for
+twenty volunteers from the Twenty-ninth regiment to dislodge these
+troublesome occupants of the block-house and rifle-pits. In response to
+this call two men from each company came quickly forward, and at once
+advanced across the creek and ravine. The rebels soon discovered the
+detachment; and opened fire upon it. Sergeant Griswold, of Company B,
+in command, rapidly advanced his men up the rise of open ground lying
+between him and the enemy, and with a rush amidst a perfect storm of
+bullets, closed on the rifle-pits, capturing all who remained in them.
+
+We now approach the rear of the block-house and demand its surrender.
+The rebel lieutenant in command exclaimed from the window of the house:
+“You d--d yanks, take us if you can!” and immediately opened fire.
+The door of the house is soon battered down, and the rebels attempt
+to cut their way out. Finding themselves covered by nearly a score of
+rifles, aimed by determined men, all, with the exception of the rebel
+lieutenant and one other, threw down their arms and surrendered. The
+rebel officer fired on the captors and lost his life by his rashness.
+We had now a total of twenty-one prisoners. Several others were killed
+or badly wounded. The former were sent at once to the rear, and the
+little force deployed along the road to hold the position until
+reinforcements should arrive. However, they were not furnished, and
+after holding the position some two hours a heavy body of rebels came
+upon us, stealing along under cover of the bushes on the opposite side
+of the road, suddenly arose and fired a volley at us. The speed we made
+across the level field with the rebels in hot pursuit, their bullets
+whistling past our ears in the most energetic manner, would have
+dismayed a professional pedestrian.
+
+June 24th, skirmishing during the day. As night came on a detachment
+of the Twenty-ninth regiment was sent out on picket. Nothing occurred
+during the night, and at dawn we returned to our brigade, where orders
+were received to hold ourselves in readiness to move on notice,
+cannonading and skirmish fighting being kept up along the line.
+
+The situation remained unchanged until June 27th. At an early hour
+this morning two men from each company of our regiment volunteered to
+advance to the relief of the Pennsylvania regiment on the outposts,
+and about 9 o’clock A. M. we moved forward. We were also to dislodge
+the rebel sharpshooters, who had been allowed to again possess the
+block-house and rifle-pits. Crossing the creek and ravine we made a
+quick dash toward the locality mentioned, amid a hot cross-fire from
+rebels along the fence before referred to. But as we close the rebels
+abandon the block-house and rifle-pits, yet dispute with the energy of
+desperation, every inch of our advance as they retire. We, however,
+gained possession of the road beyond the house, an important position
+covering the rebel left on Little Kenesaw.
+
+They now opened fire on us from the mountain on our left and front.
+Making a flank movement to the left we came up in rear of some rebel
+rifle-pits, capturing eleven prisoners and holding the position until
+the Fifth Ohio regiment came to our support. That regiment at once
+began to fortify, while we remained on the skirmish line under constant
+fire. The enemy discovered the work of the Fifth and trained their
+batteries from different directions on our position, and also advanced
+infantry, who made repeated attempts to dislodge us. Solid shot and
+shell came crashing through the block-house, the shells bursting
+amongst us in quick succession. Nor were their musketry behind in
+sending their death-dealing missiles upon us.
+
+Knapp’s battery soon came up the hill, and swinging into position,
+unlimbered and opened a rapid cross-fire on Little Kenesaw mountain.
+About this time the Fourteenth, with a portion of the Fourth corps,
+made a desperate assault on the mountain a short distance to our left.
+The engagement now became serious, one shell killing twelve and another
+six of our men. To hold the position we had captured was an arduous
+undertaking, and so severe was the fighting that those of us who had
+advanced early in the morning had fired nearly two hundred rounds. At
+dusk the fighting ceased, and we are recalled to our command.
+
+June 28th.--This morning at sunrise we advance obliquely to the right,
+and, reaching an advanced position, throw up fortifications; rebel
+batteries open fire on us meanwhile. Our lookout, as he sees smoke
+issue from the rebel guns, calls out: “Lay down,” “lay low,” or “look
+out, she’s coming,” etc. Many laughable and other incidents occurred
+during this bombardment, such as attempts to dodge shells, etc. Charles
+Upton, of Company G, while carrying a rail, had it cut in two by a
+shell; he, however, escaped unhurt.
+
+June 29th.--To-day the Fourteenth corps obtained a temporary truce
+under flag, during which they interred their dead. An assault is made
+on this corps during the early part of the night, but is repulsed, and
+we were not again disturbed.
+
+June 30th.--During this afternoon the Twenty-ninth regiment received
+orders to move. About 10 o’clock at night our corps (the Twentieth) was
+relieved by the Fourteenth. We at once marched several miles to the
+right in relief of the Twenty-third corps.
+
+On July 1st our regiment was again engaged. The fighting ceased only
+with daylight. Sharp skirmishing and severe cannonading continued
+during the entire day of the 2d, and at night the Twenty-ninth regiment
+occupied its customary position--on the skirmish line. This time,
+however, it was accompanied by the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania. Just
+before daylight on the morning of July 3d, the enemy were found to be
+retreating, and we at once moved forward to find the works deserted,
+the troops having evacuated. The position, as supposed, was almost
+impregnable to direct assault, being constructed to enfilade an attack
+of infantry.
+
+The army now push forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels, the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania taking the advance
+in the order of heavy skirmishers. We soon came upon Wheeler’s
+rebel cavalry, and engaged his dismounted men so promptly that they
+fell precipitately back to where their horses were picketed. The
+Twenty-ninth succeeded in capturing nearly one hundred of them in their
+hurried efforts to remount. The Second division during the pursuit
+captured nearly nine hundred prisoners. The rebels were steadily
+falling back on the Chattahoochie river. It was late when we halted
+for the night. How sweet the wooing of the drowsy god after such long
+continued fatigue, only those who have been there can imagine, the soft
+side of a rail on such occasions being more luxurious than any patent
+spring contrivance of to-day.
+
+July 4th. On this day, made glorious to all this goodly land by the
+forefathers of both the blue and gray, was celebrated by the issue of
+full rations of hard-tack, s----, bacon, and coffee, and wonderful
+feats of gormandizing ensued. To make the day something of a reminder
+of the Northern anniversary, with its tearing headache of the 5th,
+General “Joe” ordered an issue of liquor to the men, the first of the
+campaign. About 4 o’clock P. M. we broke camp and marched towards the
+left, but soon came to a halt for the night.
+
+At dawn on the following day we pushed forward and took possession of a
+line of works the rebels had only evacuated on our approach. They are
+now crossing Chattahoochie river. The advance is continued until within
+about one and one-half miles of the river, where we encounter a second
+line of rebel works, occupied by the enemy to cover the retreat across
+the river.
+
+July 6th we occupy the position of yesterday. During the forenoon our
+regiment was support of Bundy’s New York battery, engaged in shelling
+the rebels from a fort. About 2 P. M. we returned with the battery to
+the main line, and one hour later moved with our division to the left
+and formed line of battle, in which position we passed the night. On
+the day following we marched to the left and assumed position in line
+between the Fourteenth and Fifteenth corps. Sharp skirmishing was kept
+up nearly all night. This position is maintained by our regiment,
+with daily skirmishing, until the early dawn of July 10th, when the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio is pushed forward on a reconnoissance. We discover
+that the enemy have retreated across the Chattahoochie. On reaching
+the river we deploy as skirmishers along the north bank, the enemy
+being posted along the opposite side. Atlanta lies only nine miles to
+the south of us. The rebel army of General Joe E. Johnston is said to
+be strongly intrenched some four miles south of our position. A small
+number only of rebels remain on the opposite bank of the Chattahoochie.
+The Union and rebel pickets are on good terms, often meeting in the
+middle of the river, where they exchange coffee for tobacco, which,
+by the way, was a very scarce article with us. The Twenty-ninth Ohio
+regiment now musters only one hundred and fifty men for duty. The
+mustering officer tells us that we have lost more men killed and
+wounded in proportion to the number present at the beginning of this
+campaign than any regiment in the Western army.
+
+July 6, we were in support of a battery during the forenoon. During the
+afternoon we moved to the left, camping in a beautiful grove of pines.
+
+7th. Moved forward some three miles, to a ridge commanding a fine view
+of the country.
+
+11th. The rebels have crossed Chattahoochie river. Our pickets are
+posted on its north bank.
+
+17th. Moved forward to the left, crossed the Chattahoochie river at
+Peace ferry about 9 o’clock P. M.
+
+18th. Moved forward some two miles, skirmishing much of the distance.
+
+19th. Advanced to Peach Tree creek, which we crossed, encountering the
+enemy and taking some prisoners.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XVIII.
+
+Battle of Peach Tree Creek--Some of the “boys” go to Andersonville.
+
+
+On the morning of July 20th, just as old Sol was tinting the east with
+his rosy hue, our army began a general forward movement, the Twentieth
+corps in this advance being on the right centre, the Fourth corps left,
+resting on our right, and Newton’s division (Fourth corps) connecting
+with our left. Slight skirmishing ensued early in the morning, but
+towards noon the enemy retired. The unbroken stillness which followed
+caused us to advance cautiously lest the rebels draw us into an ambush.
+On reaching Peach Tree creek, a narrow, sluggish stream, whose abrupt
+banks, covered with briars and a dense, almost impassable undergrowth,
+would be a fatal barrier to a routed army, especially as the stream
+was without bridges, the entire command came to a halt until crossings
+could be constructed. Previous to the crossing of the main line General
+Geary ordered forward a force in reconnoissance, consisting of the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio, Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, a detachment of the
+Thirty-third New Jersey, and four pieces of Bundy’s New York battery,
+Geary himself following and directing the movement. When once across
+we advanced over several rough sparsely wooded ravines until reaching
+an eminence overlooking a narrow, open valley on our front and left.
+Immediately on our right front was a piece of heavy timber, extending
+also on our rear. The ridge directly in our front was covered with
+a thick undergrowth, affording a fine position for an ambuscade.
+Our force was now brought to a halt. Bundy’s battery was hastily put
+into position on the ridge to cover the valley. The Twenty-ninth Ohio
+assumed position on the right, and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania on
+the left of the battery. D. E. Hurlburt, captain of company K, had
+charge of a detail from the Twenty-ninth and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments
+in the skirmish of the timber, so he states.
+
+The detachment of the Thirty-third New Jersey deployed as skirmishers
+across the valley in our front, General Geary and staff following
+closely in its rear. While they were advancing, we hastily constructed
+a light barricade of fence rails, and Bundy prepared his battery for
+business. We anxiously watched General Geary and the skirmishers as
+they cautiously moved up the ridge.
+
+When within a few yards of the underbrush a large force of rebels
+came from cover, and with wild yells rushed forward. Captain Bundy at
+once opened fire upon them, which threw them into disorder, but did
+not check their advance. As Geary and staff passed over our line his
+chief, Captain Elliott, fell from his horse, shot dead. Geary shouted
+to us, “A general engagement! a general engagement! My brave men hold
+to your position. I will send support to you.” He was answered with
+rousing cheers. When the little remnant of the skirmishing force had
+come in we commenced a rapid fire in connection with Captain Bundy’s
+double-shotted guns, which speedily thinned the advancing columns of
+rebels, but without avail, as the breaks were at once filled with
+fresh troops. As the rebels attempted to close with us our men seemed
+to be endowed with the valor born of desperation, and clubbed them
+back. Forward they came, a dense mass of living fire, and bravely we
+sustained the shock of twenty times our number. The sharp rattle of
+musketry, the loud roar of Bundy’s guns, and the defiant shouts of the
+combatants, in close hand to hand conflict, can never be erased from
+the tablets of memory while life shall last. It was grandly, awfully
+terrible.
+
+A dense smoke settled around the battery and enclosing the extreme left
+of the regiment, hid the position of our right. Suddenly firing begins
+on us from our rear. The cannoniers are disabled and the infantry are
+called upon to work the guns, which were instantly turned to the rear
+upon heavy masses of rebels advancing from the woods on our flank.
+The greater part of our regiment had discovered this movement in
+time to change front to rear, but were instantly forced back by the
+overwhelming numbers of the rebels, and those in charge of the battery
+were instantly surrounded by a powerful mob of yelling fiends. Still
+the double-shotted guns continue to belch forth fire and death, cutting
+great gaps in the ranks of the enemy at each discharge.
+
+At the guns’ front, with muskets clubbed, a hand to hand conflict was
+had, to allow the reloading of the guns. The situation was now most
+desperate. A cordon of the enemy hemmed in the brave band, now reduced
+to but seventy men, whose ammunition was exhausted, and at last they
+were forced to surrender the battery. Henry Rood, of company A, and
+Henry E. Clark, company B, are the only names the writer has been able
+to secure of those captured at this time.
+
+General Geary came up soon after, charged the enemy and recovered the
+battery, which was instantly turned upon the rebels, causing great
+destruction. The prisoners were, however, too far in the rear for
+recapture, and they were conveyed to that loathsome earthly hell,
+Andersonville. What they endured, the cruelties of the studied
+starvation by express order of chivalric Jeff Davis, and the horrible
+atrocities accorded to defenseless prisoners by the Southern opponents
+in this unholy, ungodly conflict, the writer will not attempt to
+describe; language fails in the recital. Loss: Killed, two; wounded,
+seven; captured, five; total fourteen.

+
+Siege of Atlanta--The Capitulation--General Sherman’s Report.
+
+
+July 21st, heavy skirmishing on our right. 22d, we moved forward in
+pursuit of the retreating rebels. 23d, we are now strongly intrenched,
+within two miles of Atlanta, Georgia; lively skirmishing much of the
+time. 24th, shelling and picket firing to-day; rebels charged our line
+but were repulsed. 25th, brisk firing all day. 26th, advanced our line
+forty rods. 27th, quiet along the lines. 28th, heavy firing on our
+right; the rebels are repulsed. 29th and 30th, fighting continues.
+
+August 1st to 3d, hot firing all the time. 4th, National Thanksgiving
+Day; fighting on our right; rebels driven back; skirmishing every
+day--all the time; getting monotonous. 25th, left our works and
+fell back to the Chattahoochie river, near Vining station; marched
+all night. 27th, Major-general W. H. Slocum assumed command of the
+Twentieth army corps.
+
+September 4th, moved forward to Atlanta, which we reached about 2
+o’clock P. M.; marched through the city and went into camp about one and
+one-half miles west of the city. 6th, received an order from General
+Sherman that the campaign was ended, and that the troops are to have
+a full month’s rest; that our task was not only done, but well done.
+12th, the citizens of Atlanta were moved south to-day; from this date
+we lay in camp with little to mar our happiness till November 1st,
+when we received orders to send all our baggage to the rear and put
+ourselves in light marching order. November 5th, orders having been
+received for the troops to move, the Twenty-ninth struck tents and
+marched from Atlanta at 3:30 P. M. in the direction of Stone Mountain,
+some three miles, and camped for the night. At 1 o’clock P. M. on the
+following day, the regiment marched back to Atlanta, and again occupied
+its old camp.
+
+During the afternoon of the 1st of September specific orders for the
+withdrawal of Stewart’s rebel _corps de armee_ and the militia were
+issued, and about sunset the latter were withdrawn from the trenches.
+When they were fairly on the road Stewart’s corps followed, all being
+en route by midnight, except the cavalry, a brigade or two of infantry,
+and the pickets. These latter remained until the advance of the
+Twentieth corps neared the city on the morning of the 2d. The explosion
+of ammunition was of course heard at the position of the Twentieth
+corps, and though General Slocum (who it appears was in command of the
+Twentieth corps at the time) had received no intelligence of Sherman’s
+great success at Jonesboro, he was not unprepared to find Hood gone
+any morning, and the explosions convinced him that the withdrawal was
+taking place. He instantly issued orders to his division commanders,
+Generals Ward, Williams, and Geary, to send out each a heavy
+reconnoissance at daybreak on the morning of the 2d.
+
+About 1,000 men were detailed from each division, and at 5 A. M. pushed
+forward on neighboring roads into Atlanta on the north and northwest,
+encountering no opposition. They pushed rapidly forward, and at 8
+o’clock came in sight of the rebel intrenchments, so lately occupied
+with enemies but now silent and deserted.
+
+Advancing rapidly, Colonel Coburn, commanding General Ward’s
+reconnoissance, entered the enemy’s works, encountering in the
+suburbs Mayor Calhoun, of Atlanta, and a deputation of the city
+council. The former nervously presented a paper surrendering the city
+and asking protection. Colonel Coburn refused to receive the paper
+for informality, and directed that another should be drawn up. Mayor
+Calhoun invited several of General Ward’s staff to accompany him
+to the court-house, where the documents should be made _en regle_,
+promising at the same time to expel the drunken rebel stragglers,
+who were lingering in the streets and were disposed to skirmish with
+our advance. He immediately took measures to effect the last, and
+accompanied by the officers whose names are offered in attest, he
+returned to the court-house, and the following document was drawn up:
+
+  “ATLANTA, GEORGIA, }
+  September 2, 1864. }
+
+  “Brigadier-general Ward, Commanding Third Division
+  Twentieth Corps.
+
+ “SIR:--The fortunes of war have placed the city of Atlanta in your
+ hands, and as mayor of the city I ask protection to non-combatants and
+ private property.
+
+  “JAMES M. CALHOUN,
+  Mayor of Atlanta.”
+
+The preliminary formalities thus disposed of, our troops entered
+the city with music and flags, marching promptly and erect. A fine
+flag-staff was found on the Franklin printing house, where the Memphis
+Appeal had been printed. The stars and stripes were soon flung to the
+calm, sunny air amid the cheers of the brave men who had fought for so
+many weary, consuming days to place it there.
+
+General Henry W. Slocum established his headquarters at the Trout
+house, the leading hotel of the city, overlooking the public square.
+In the forts around Atlanta eleven heavy guns, mainly sixty-four
+pounders, were left by the enemy; also about three thousand muskets, in
+good order, stored in various parts of the city, were found; also three
+locomotives in running order, and large quantities of manufactured
+tobacco were discovered. Between one and two hundred stragglers, the
+majority of them very drunk, were fished from their hiding places and
+placed under guard at the court-house.
+
+ GENERAL THOMAS’ CONGRATULATORY ORDER.
+
+  ARMY HEADQUARTERS, July 26, 1864.
+
+ “The major-general commanding the army congratulates the troops upon
+ the brilliant success attending the Union arms in the late battles.
+ In the battle of the 20th instant, in which the Twentieth corps, one
+ division of the Fourth corps, and part of the Fourteenth corps were
+ engaged, the total union loss in killed, wounded, and missing was
+ 1,733. In front of the Twentieth corps there were put out of the fight
+ 6,000 rebels; 563 of the enemy were buried by our own troops, and the
+ rebels were permitted to bury 250. The Second division of the Fourth
+ corps repulsed seven different assaults of the enemy with light loss
+ to themselves, and which must have swelled the number of dead buried
+ by the rebels to beyond 300. We also captured seven stands of colors.
+ No official report has been received of the part taken in the battle
+ by the Fourteenth corps. In the battle of the 22d instant, the total
+ Union loss in killed, wounded, and missing was 3,500, and also 10
+ pieces of artillery. The rebel loss in prisoners captured was 3,200.
+ The known dead of the enemy in front of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth
+ corps and one division of the Seventeenth corps was 2,142. The other
+ divisions of the Seventeenth corps repulsed six assaults of the enemy
+ before they fell back, and which will swell the rebel loss in killed
+ to at least 3,000. The latest reports state that we buried over 3,200
+ rebels killed in this fight. There were captured from the enemy in
+ this battle 18 stands of colors and 5,000 stands of arms.

+ GENERAL SHERMAN’S SPECIAL FIELD ORDER NO. 68.
+
+  “HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION, OF THE }
+  MISSISSIPPI IN THE FIELD,               }
+  ATLANTA, GEORGIA, SEPT. 8, 1864.        }
+
+ “The officers and soldiers of the armies of the Cumberland, Ohio, and
+ Tennessee have already received the thanks of the Nation through its
+ President and commander in chief, and it remains now only for him
+ who has been with you from the beginning, and who intends to stay
+ all the time, to thank the officers and men for their intelligence,
+ fidelity, and courage displayed in the campaign of Atlanta. On the
+ 1st day of May our armies were lying in garrison, seemingly quiet,
+ from Knoxville to Huntsville, and our enemy lay behind his rocky-faced
+ barrier at Dalton, proud, defiant, and exultant. He had time since
+ Christmas to recover from his discomfiture on the Mission Ridge, with
+ his ranks filled, and a new commander in chief, second to none of the
+ Confederacy in reputation for skill, sagacity, and extreme popularity.
+ All at once our armies assumed life and action and appeared before
+ Dalton. Threatening Rocky Face, we threw ourselves upon Resaca, and
+ the rebel army only escaped by the rapidity of its retreat, aided by
+ the numerous roads with which he was familiar, and which were strange
+ to us. Again he took post, at Allatoona, but we gave him no rest, and
+ by a circuit toward Dallas and a subsequent movement to Ackworth, we
+ gained the Allatoona pass. Then followed the eventful battles about
+ Kenesaw and the escape of the enemy across the Chattahoochie river.
+ The crossing of the Chattahoochie and breaking of the Augusta road
+ was most handsomely executed by us, and will be studied as an example
+ in the art of war. At this stage of our game our enemies became
+ dissatisfied with their old and skilful commander and selected one
+ more bold and rash. New tactics were adopted. Hood first boldly and
+ rapidly on the 20th of July fell on our right at Peach Tree creek, and
+ lost again. On the 22d he struck our extreme left and was severely
+ punished; and finally again on the 28th he repeated the attempt on our
+ right, and that time must have been satisfied, for since that date he
+ has remained on the defensive. We slowly and gradually drew our lines
+ about Atlanta, feeling for the railroads which supplied the rebel army
+ and made Atlanta a place of importance. We must concede to our enemy
+ that he met these efforts patiently and skilfully, but at last he made
+ the mistake we had waited for so long and sent his cavalry to our
+ rear, far beyond the reach of recall. Instantly our cavalry was on his
+ only remaining road, and we followed quickly with our principal army,
+ and Atlanta fell into our possession as the fruit of well-concerted
+ measures, backed by a brave and competent army. This completed the
+ grand task which had been assigned us by our Government, and your
+ general again repeats his personal and official thanks to all the
+ officers and men composing this army for the indomitable courage and
+ perseverance which alone could give success. We have beaten our enemy
+ on every ground he has chosen, and have wrested from him his own
+ Gate city, where were located his foundries, arsenals, and workshops,
+ deemed secure on account of their distance from our base and the
+ seeming impregnable obstacles intervening. Nothing is impossible to an
+ army like this, determined to vindicate a government wherever our flag
+ has once floated, and resolved to maintain them at any and all cost.
+
+ “In our campaign many, yea very many of our noble and gallant comrades
+ have preceded us to our common destination, the grave; but they have
+ left the memory of deeds on which a Nation can build a proud history.
+ McPherson, Harker, McCook, and others dear to us all, are now the
+ binding links in our minds that should attach more closely together
+ the living, who have to complete the task which still lies before us
+ in the dim future.
+
+ “I ask all to continue as they have so well begun, the cultivation
+ of the soldierly virtues that have ennobled our own and other
+ countries,--courage, patience, obedience to the laws and constituted
+ authorities of our Government, fidelity to our trusts, and good
+ feeling among each other; each trying to excel the other in the
+ practice of those high qualities, and it will then require no prophet
+ to foretell that our country will, in time, emerge from this war
+ purified by the fires of war and worthy its great founder, Washington.
+
+  “W. T. SHERMAN,
+  Major-general commanding.”

+CHAPTER XX.
+
+With Sherman to the Sea--Colonel Schoonover’s Journal--Siege of
+Savannah.
+
+
+Tuesday, the 8th instant, the Twenty-ninth was very busy holding
+election. Detachments from other organizations were permitted to vote
+at the Twenty-ninth headquarters. The Twenty-ninth regiment cast three
+hundred and eighty-four votes. Of these Lincoln received three hundred
+and fifty and McClellan thirty-four. During the day the regiment was
+wide awake and enthusiastic, and gave every soldier a chance to vote.
+At 6:30 A. M. on the following day, while the regiment was in tents
+eating breakfast, the rebels opened a lively fire with artillery, at
+short range. The enemy approached our picket, which was posted west
+of camp, covering the Sandtown road, who were surprised and fell back
+without firing a shot; hence the first intimation that we had that the
+enemy was near was the report of their artillery and the bursting of
+shells in our midst. The Twenty-ninth fell in and took position behind
+the fortification which the regiment had constructed. In the meantime a
+line of skirmishers was sent out and soon the enemy were driven back. A
+portion of the brigade was sent out on the Sandtown road, marched a few
+miles, but the Confederates had flown, and late in the afternoon the
+scouting party returned to camp.
+
+November 10th. Remained in camp occupied in the usual camp and picket
+duties, and the inspection of ammunition, arms, and accoutrements, and
+all was quiet, and at 8 o’clock in the evening the city of Atlanta
+took fire and was nearly annihilated. Saturday, the 12th, in camp, and
+all is quiet. Sunday, November 13th, the Twenty-ninth was detailed to
+tear up and destroy the railroad, and 7:30 marched out on the railroad
+leading to Chattanooga, and was engaged until 10 at night in burning
+the ties and bending the rails. At night the regiment returned to its
+old camp at Atlanta. 14th instant, in camp; all quiet. A man in company
+I was injured by falling from a building. 15th instant, marched at 6:30
+A. M. on the road leading to Stone mountain in a southeast direction
+from Atlanta, and at 6 P. M. halted and went into camp (marched fifteen
+miles). 16th instant, marched at 7:30 A. M., and at 5:15 P. M. halted
+and camped for the night (marched twelve miles). 17th instant, marched
+at 5 o’clock A. M., and after marching twelve miles halted for dinner,
+and at 2 P. M. fell in and marched until 5 P. M., when the regiment
+halted and went into camp. 18th instant, moved at 4:30 A. M.; marched
+ten miles, and at 12 M. halted for dinner; fell in at 1 o’clock and at
+6 P. M. halted and camped for the night (marched twenty miles during
+the day). 19th instant, marched at 6:30 A. M.
+
+Twentieth instant, moved fourteen miles and camped for the night
+near Edenton. 21st, marched through Edenton in the direction of
+Milledgeville, a distance of sixteen miles, and went into camp. 22d,
+marched at 5:30 A. M., halted at 12 M. one hour for dinner, and at
+1:15 P. M. fell in and marched until 8 o’clock P. M., passed through
+Milledgeville and crossed the Oconee river and camped for the night.
+23d, Twenty-ninth regiment detailed for picket; fell in and moved east
+about three-fourths of a mile, passing through the woods and advancing
+into an open country; during its stay on picket duty some of the
+boys went out on a foraging expedition, and it is not necessary to
+state that they were successful, and that honey, sweet potatoes, and
+some fine chickens (which the quartermaster had left), made a very
+pleasant repast. 24th, received orders to join the brigade; marched at
+7 o’clock A. M., and halted at 1:30 for dinner; fell in at 2:15 P. M.,
+halted at 7:30, camped for the night; marched fifteen miles. 25th,
+moved at 7 A. M., passing through a low country covered with heavy
+timber and thick undergrowth; the Twenty-ninth was train guard; halted
+at 12 M., at Buffalo creek, for dinner; found the bridge destroyed;
+parked the train, and late in the afternoon the bridge was repaired
+and the regiment with the train crossed, passed through Buffalo swamp
+and camped for the night; marched twelve miles. 26th, the regiment was
+ordered up at 3:30 A. M., remained on arms until 7:30, when it marched
+with the brigade; halted at 1:30 P. M. at Sandersville for dinner, and
+in the afternoon marched to the Georgia Central railroad, tore up
+about two miles of track, and at 8:30 went into camp; drew rations of
+honey for supper. 27th, marched at 5 A. M., reached the railroad at
+8:50, tore up the track, and at 2:30 P. M. marched to Davisboro, which
+it reached at 9 o’clock, and camped here; marched nine miles. 28th,
+in the forenoon marched back to the railroad, and tore up track until
+5 o’clock P. M., then marched back to Davisboro, and camped for the
+night; nothing special transpired during the night except the burning
+of a house, which accidentally (?) took fire; search was made in the
+regiments of the brigade by the staff officers to find out if possible
+the cause of the fire, but “not guilty” was the response. 29th, marched
+at 6:30 A. M., halted at 11:30, at Bartlows station, for dinner, and in
+the afternoon marched through Bostwick and went into camp; marched 14
+miles. 30th, marched at 6 A. M., halted at Daniel Blake’s plantation
+for dinner, and in the afternoon marched four miles and camped for the
+night.
+
+December 1, 1864, marched at 7:30 A. M., the Second division in the
+advance, passed through a low, wet country, almost impassable to the
+ordnance train; halted at 8:15 and camped for the night; marched
+fifteen miles. 2d, marched at 6 A. M., First brigade in advance; moved
+about ten miles; halted at 12 M. for dinner, at a creek where the
+rebels had destroyed the bridge, and while preparing dinner, the
+Twenty-ninth regiment was ordered to fall in, which it did without
+delay, and marched to the creek; the enemy was found on its opposite
+bank in considerable force; the regiment was ordered to drive the enemy
+out of the timber, force them back and hold them while the bridge was
+being rebuilt; we loaded our guns, and crossing the bank four companies
+under Captain Schoonover advanced to the right up the road, through the
+timber (which was a thick undergrowth) driving the enemy out of the
+woods and into an open field about one mile from the bridge; barricaded
+the road with rails, and the other six companies under Major Wright,
+advanced direct to the point through the woods about one mile, the
+enemy falling back; the regiment held its position until the bridge
+was rebuilt, and a crossing effected, and late in the P. M. the brigade
+moved through the swamp and camped for the night. 3d, remained in camp
+until after dinner, then moved forward the remainder of the day and
+all night; had no supper; halted at 7 A. M. for breakfast, near Millen;
+the old stockade was empty, the prisoners having been removed the day
+before; after breakfast on the 4th, we moved forward, marched all day,
+and at 8 P. M. halted and camped for the night. 5th, marched at 7 A. M.,
+halted at 2:30 P. M. for dinner; moved three miles in the afternoon, and
+at 6 went into camp for the night. 6th, marched ten miles and camped
+for the night. 7th, marched at 7 A. M., halted at 12:30 for dinner;
+rained all the forenoon, had no dinner; marched in the afternoon,
+halted at 7 P. M. and camped for the night, near Springfield; marched
+twelve miles. 8th, marched at 6:30 A. M. and camped at 4:30 P. M. near
+Eden.
+
+9th instant at 9 A. M., moved six miles and halted thirty minutes for
+dinner at Wallhower Swamp, where the Confederates were found in force.
+The fallen timber which obstructed the road was soon removed by the
+Pioneer corps, and in the meantime with the Third brigade, of Geary’s
+division in the advance, had a sharp skirmish with the rebels. While
+the road was being cleared the Second division were resting on their
+arms, except the Third brigade, which had advanced nearly through the
+swamp. While engaged with the enemy the train was ordered forward,
+and the Twenty-ninth regiment advanced on double-quick in support
+of the brigade thus engaged. Passing the train it reached the Third
+brigade, which had advanced about one mile and a half. The Twenty-ninth
+immediately formed line on the left of the road in rear of the Third
+brigade, and skirmished until dark, when the firing ceased. During the
+night the rebels fell back. 10th instant, moved at 7 A. M. and marched
+through the swamp where we found small earth works and two small field
+pieces masked to cover the road through the swamp, but when the boys in
+blue were discovered the rebels moved to the rear. The regiment marched
+thirteen miles with some skirmishing and artillery firing during the
+day and night.
+
+When about four miles from the city of Savannah, Georgia, rebel
+artillery was found to be in the road behind earthworks to impede our
+progress. The Twenty-ninth regiment, with the brigade, filed to the
+left of the road and took position in the timber, where it bivouacked
+for the night. After leaving Atlanta, Georgia, on the 15th day of
+November, 1864, the army was designated as the Army of Georgia, the
+Twelfth and Fourteenth corps, known as the left wing, commanded by
+Major-general H. W. Slocum, and the Fifteenth and Seventeenth corps,
+known as the right wing, commanded by Major-general O. O. Howard,
+Major-general William T. Sherman in command of the Army of Georgia.
+
+On this march the army cut loose from the base of supplies at Atlanta,
+and lived mostly from forage on the country. On reaching the enemy
+within four miles of Savannah, on the 10th day of December, the
+division had accumulated several hundred head of cattle. Sunday,
+December 11th, moved in the morning about one mile, and took a position
+near the rebel lines, the Twenty-ninth regiment, on the extreme left
+of the line, with its left reaching the Savannah river. While in this
+position the rebels opened fire with artillery from a fort immediately
+in our front, and the infantry from their strong line of works, kept
+up a continual fire. The brigade remained in line until late in the
+afternoon, sustaining slight loss, when it fell back through the open
+field into the woods and laid on arms all night. On the 12th inst., at
+2:30 A. M., fell in and advanced to the front about one-half mile to the
+old levee, and thence filed to the left. Marched about three-fourths
+of a mile, halted, and prepared to charge the rebels. To do so the
+right had to pass a dike or canal with four or five feet of water,
+and assault the fort and breastworks in open field. The charge was
+abandoned, and at 4:30 A. M. the regiment returned to camp, where we
+remained skirmishing and artillery firing during the day. On the 13th
+inst. the Twenty-ninth was on skirmish line all day. During the night
+we advanced our line through a woods, which was heavy pine, mixed with
+live oak, within two hundred yards of the rebel line, where they were
+strongly intrenched. Between the contending armies was no timber except
+scattering undergrowth, and a canal near the rebel line of works. In
+this advanced position the regiment dug rifle-pits, which were strongly
+barricaded with timber.
+
+In the lines of rifle-pits our pickets were stationed and performed
+the duty of skirmishers, being relieved every twenty-four hours, which
+was done under cover of night. In the meantime the regiment fell back
+about one-fourth of a mile, and constructed works of heavy timber, in
+the rear of which the men put up their shelter tents. Here they could
+partake of the scanty rations (but dare not sleep), as the artillery
+firing and skirmishing was kept up continually day and night on the
+14th, 15th, 16th and 17th; and Sunday, the 18th, skirmishing and
+artillery duelling all along the line. On the 19th skirmishing all day.
+In the evening a detail was made from our brigade under the command
+of Major Myron T. Wright, to construct new lines of works. While
+engaged in the work at 7 o’clock P. M., he received a severe wound in
+the left foot (at which time Captain Jonas Schoonover took command),
+the ball entering the foot a little below the instep, and lodged into
+the center of the heel about one inch from the bottom of the foot. On
+the 20th, firing all along the line. This ceased at 11 o’clock P. M.
+The Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade and division, has been in
+position on the left of the road leading from Springfield to the city
+of Savannah, with its main line in the timber, its right resting on the
+river. During the ten days the command remained in front of Savannah
+it took charge of large rice mills on the river, and supplied the men
+with rice. The quartermaster used large quantities for the train teams.
+At one time rice sold for fifty cents per quart (before the capture
+of Fort McAllister, on December 13th, 1864). The rebels in our front
+were behind a heavy line of works, which was surmounted with large
+timber called head logs, with port holes in their front. At their rear
+was a large body of timber, their right rested on the river, where
+they had constructed two forts, one near the river, and the other a
+short distance west along their line, where they had a strong position
+behind sand bags. But our lines were advancing nearer every day, and
+during the night of December 20th they evacuated their works, and
+fell back to Savannah, crossing the river into South Carolina. At 4
+A. M., on the 21st day of December, the Twenty-ninth fell in, and moved
+in the advance of the brigade to the front. Passing the rifle-pits,
+it filed to the left, across the canal near the rebel fort, finding
+their works and entire line evacuated. We moved on in the direction of
+Savannah. On reaching the city, the Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania regiments moved down the river to Fort Jackson, which
+had been evacuated and set on fire. The regiments reached the fort at
+9 A. M., and at 12 o’clock at night the rebels blew up their gunboat
+Beauregard. We remained at the fort until December 24th, with the usual
+routine of camp and garrison duty. In the meantime the Twenty-ninth
+took an inventory of the ordnance and ordnance stores captured by
+the Twenty-ninth regiment and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania in Fort
+Jackson and other forts along the Savannah river. On the 24th instant
+the regiment was ordered to move at 9 A. M. The Twenty-ninth, in rear
+of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania volunteers, marched to the city of
+Savannah, passing through it, and encamping on the west side.
+
+On the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th, fixing company quarters, and
+attending to the usual routine of camp and guard duty. Friday, the
+30th, the army reviewed. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved from camp
+at 8:30 A. M., and marched to Liberty street in the city of Savannah,
+where it joined the brigade formed on the left, in prolongation with
+the Sixty-sixth regiment of Ohio volunteers. After review it returned
+to its old camp at 2 o’clock P. M. Saturday, the 31st, inspection and
+muster for pay at 10 A. M.
+
+January 1, 1865, monthly inspection at 2 o’clock P. M. 2d, 3d, 4th and
+5th, nothing occurred except the usual camp duty. 6th, 7th, 8th and
+9th, in camp, and up to the 18th the Twenty-ninth was doing camp duty,
+and on the 18th received news of the fall of Fort Fisher. From the 19th
+to the 25th engaged in camp duty and regimental drill.

+December 23, 1864, I have the honor most respectfully to make the
+following report:
+
+“I took command of the regiment in front of Savannah, Georgia, on
+December 20, 1864. Nothing worthy of note transpired during the day.
+At 4 o’clock A. M. of the 21st instant the Twenty-ninth in advance of
+the First brigade, took up a line of march to the city of Savannah,
+and from there to Fort Jackson, when I reported to Colonel Flinn,
+Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania volunteers, for duty, and performed garrison
+duty until December 24th, when the regiment was ordered to march at
+9:30 A. M. The Twenty-ninth in rear of Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania

+  “Captain W. T. Forbes, assistant adjutant general:
+
+ “In compliance with circular order No. 144, I have the honor to submit
+ the following report of the operations of this brigade, from the
+ capture of Atlanta, September 2, 1864, to the occupation of Savannah,
+ Georgia, December 21, 1864, etc., etc.... December 2d, the march was
+ resumed at daybreak and was uninterrupted until Buckhead creek was
+ reached. The bridge over this place was partially destroyed, and a few
+ of the enemy’s cavalry were on the opposite side of the swamp. Major
+ Wright, commanding the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, was ordered to
+ cross the creek with his regiment and drive and keep away this force,
+ which was accomplished without loss. The command camped for the night
+ near Buckhead church.... December 12th to December 20th inclusive,
+ a substantial line of works was thrown up for the protection of the
+ command from the artillery of the enemy, and in addition to this two
+ forts, with thirteen embrasures in the aggregate, were constructed by
+ the command. The working parties on Fort No. 2 were under the command
+ of Captain Kreicler, One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania
+ volunteers, and those on Fort No. 3 under command of Captain E. B.
+ Woodbury, Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers. Both these officers and the
+ men under their command are deserving of praise for the energy and
+ perseverance manifested in the prosecution of the duty assigned them.
+
+ “December 21st, the enemy having evacuated their position the
+ night previous, their works were occupied at an early hour by the
+ skirmishers of the division, and by sunrise the city of Savannah was
+ entered and occupied, this brigade being in line in the advance into
+ the city. Soon after reaching the city, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+ and Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, under command of Colonel John Flynn,
+ were, by order of the commanding-general of division, through Captain
+ Veale, aide-de-camp, dispatched to occupy Fort Jackson and the smaller
+ forts and batteries near it. The possession of the forts and other
+ works was gained with but slight resistance.
+
+ “Inventory of ordnance and ordnance stores captured by the
+ Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+ in Fort Jackson and other forts on the Savannah river:
+ Forty-four thirty-two-pounders, two ten-inch Columbiads, twenty
+ eight-inch Columbiads, two rifled thirty-two-pounders, twelve
+ twenty-four-pounder howitzers, one eight-inch mortar, three
+ three-inch rifled field-pieces, etc., etc. Of the ninety-one guns
+ captured, fourteen only were found to have been spiked and shotted.
+ The gun-carriages were broken and temporarily disabled, and all the
+ implements were broken and destroyed.
+
+ “To the regimental commanders I tender my thanks for the strict
+ obedience to orders, and the enforcement of the regulation prescribed
+ in regard to the conduct of the march, and especially are they due to
+ Major M. T. Wright, Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was seriously
+ wounded while supervising the working parties on the forts, for the
+ promptitude exhibited by him in the execution of all orders, and his
+ strict attention to the duties incumbent on him throughout the entire
+ campaign.

+
+
+EXTRACT--OFFICIAL REPORT OF GENERAL GEARY.
+
+ “December 29th, a conference of the division and brigade commanders
+ with the general commanding the corps, was held at 10 A. M. to-day,
+ with the view to the adoption of a plan for storming the enemy’s
+ works, as soon as the heavy guns should be in readiness to open fire.
+ Fort No. 1 was finished this evening. The details from the First and
+ Third brigades continued work on the other forts during the night,
+ under a heavy artillery fire from the enemy. Several casualties
+ occurred, among them Major Wright, a most valuable officer, commanding
+ the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was severely wounded by a shell.
+ Sloan’s battery of three-inch rifled guns had already taken position
+ in a work thrown up to the right of Fort 3, and in the open field.
+
+ “December 20th. The usual artillery firing and sharp shooting to-day.
+ By this evening we had constructed and in readiness for use in the
+ contemplated assault, two hundred large straw fascines, to fill up
+ ditches in front of the enemy’s works; also a large number of fascines
+ made of bamboo-cane. The latter were to be used for bridging the canal
+ by laying them across baulks, which were furnished from the pontoon
+ train for that purpose. The work on Forts 2 and 3 was well advanced
+ to-day, and would probably be completed to-night. Three siege-guns
+ (thirty-pounder Parrotts) were brought down this evening and mounted
+ in Fort No. 2. I ascertained this morning that the enemy had completed
+ a pontoon bridge from Savannah across to the South Carolina shore, and
+ notified the general commanding corps of the discovery. This bridge
+ was about two and a half miles from my left. The usual artillery
+ firing was kept up by the enemy during the day and night. During the
+ night I heard the movement of troops and wagons across the pontoon
+ bridge before mentioned, and sent a report of the fact to the general
+ commanding corps. Leaving one of my staff to watch the sounds in that
+ direction, I notified my officer of the day and brigade commanders
+ to keep a vigilant watch upon the enemy, as they were probably
+ evacuating. The details on Forts 2 and 3 continued working through the
+ night, the enemy shelling them heavily.
+
+ “December 21st. After 3 o’clock this morning the firing ceased, and my
+ pickets advancing to the enemy’s line, found them hastily retreating.
+ Having possession of their line of works with all their cannon in
+ front of my own and the other division of the corps, I immediately
+ sent a staff officer to notify the general commanding, and at the
+ same time pushed forward rapidly in the direction of Savannah, hoping
+ to overtake and capture a part of the enemy’s force. My skirmishers
+ deployed and swept over all the ground between the evacuated works
+ and the Ogeechee canal, from the river to the Augusta road, while my
+ main body of troops marched rapidly by the flank through McAlpin’s
+ plantation to the Augusta road, and on into the city. Just outside
+ of the city limits near the junction of the Louisville and Augusta
+ roads, I met the mayor of Savannah and a delegation from the board of
+ alderman, bearing a flag of truce. From them I received in the name
+ of my commanding general the surrender of the city. This was at 4:30
+ A. M., and I sent immediately another staff officer to announce the
+ surrender to the general commanding the corps. He had considerable
+ difficulty in passing the line of another division of this corps on
+ the Augusta road, but finally convinced them that he belonged to
+ the Twentieth corps and not to the enemy. In the meantime my entire
+ division entered the city of Savannah at early dawn, and before the
+ sun first gilded the morning clouds, our National colors, side by side
+ with those of my own division, were unfurled from the dome of the
+ exchange, and over the United States custom house. The brigade which
+ led on entering the city, was at once ordered to patrol it, reduce it
+ to order and quiet, and prevent any pillaging or lawlessness on the
+ part either of soldiers or citizens. My orders on the subject were
+ very strict, and within a few hours this city, in which I had found
+ a lawless mob of low whites and negroes pillaging and setting fire
+ to property, was reduced to order. Many millions of dollars worth of
+ cotton, ordnance and commissary stores, etc., which would have been
+ otherwise destroyed, were saved to the United States Government, and
+ the citizens once more enjoyed security under the protection of that
+ flag which again waved over them, exactly four years since the passage
+ by the State of South Carolina of the Secession Act.
+
+ “Two regiments from Pardee’s brigade, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+ and Twenty-ninth Ohio veteran volunteers, were sent down to Fort
+ Jackson, and early in the morning had possession of it and all the
+ intermediate and surrounding works. The iron-plated ram, Savannah,
+ which lay in the river below the city, threw shells at these two
+ regiments as they flung the stars and stripes to the breeze from the
+ walls of Fort Jackson. All the other gun-boats of the enemy had been
+ fired by them and burned to the water’s edge.
+
+ “On the arrival of the major-general commanding the left wing, I was,
+ by his order, placed in command of the city. Until nearly 10 A. M.
+ continued firing was heard in the direction of Beaulieu, and supposing
+ that a portion of the enemy might still be south of us, I kept one
+ brigade under arms during the forenoon. Three rebel flags were
+ captured by my command, which will be duly forwarded.
+
+  “I am, Colonel, very-respectfully
+  Your obedient servant,
+  JOHN W. GEARY,
+  Brigadier-general commanding Second division Twentieth
+  corps.”

+sufficiently explain.
+
+The new flag for the Twenty-ninth regiment, contributed by the citizens
+of Summit and Ashtabula counties, was accompanied by the following
+letter from Colonels Buckley and Fitch. The receipt of the new flag is
+gracefully acknowledged by the letter of Mr. G. W. Holloway, appended
+thereto, which letter was accompanied by the old flag, which had been
+borne by this gallant regiment in so many bloody battles.
+
+  AKRON, May, 1865.
+
+ COL. JONAS SCHOONOVER. DEAR SIR:--We have the honor and pleasure of
+ forwarding to the gallant old Twenty-ninth another national flag,
+ the gift of its old friends in Ashtabula and Summit counties. This
+ is the third national flag given the regiment from the same source.
+ It is certainly a strong proof that its friends still believe it to
+ be one of the bravest of the brave of the many noble regiments Ohio
+ has given to fight this great battle. If the regiment had no other
+ proof than its old and tattered flags, that alone would show that it
+ had been in the thickest of the fight, ever ready to breast the fury
+ of the battle storm; but its history tells us that it has borne an
+ honorable part in nearly a score of the hardest fought battles of the
+ war. Citizen soldiers, take this flag and bear it aloft wherever duty
+ calls, and your friends will take your past record as a guarantee that
+ it will never be dishonored by the Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran Volunteer
+ Infantry. Colonel, please remember us to the dear old Twenty-ninth,
+ and accept for yourself our best wishes.
+
+  LEWIS P. BUCKLEY,
+  WILLIAM T. FITCH,
+  Old Cols. of the Twenty-ninth Ohio.

+  HEADQUARTERS TWENTY-NINTH OHIO,      }
+  BLADENSBURG, MARYLAND, June 5, 1865. }
+
+  Colonels Buckley and Fitch, and S. A. Lane, Esq.:
+
+ GENTLEMEN:--In the name of the officers and men of the Twenty-ninth
+ Ohio veteran volunteer infantry, I herewith acknowledge the receipt
+ of the beautiful flag presented the regiment, and in return I present
+ to you the old one, which it has been our proud honor to carry
+ victoriously over many hard-fought battlefields. That dear “old flag”
+ which has been our companion through years of fearful war and carnage,
+ and which symbolizes our glorious nationality, tells its own story.
+ We return it to you, but not so beautiful in form and color as when
+ presented to us eighteen months ago. But whilst its external beauty
+ has been defaced, yet the great life-giving principles of which it is
+ the exponent, are all the more deeply enshrined in the hearts of its
+ defenders, and Liberty receives through this standard another bright
+ and shining star to her beautiful constellation. Take it, then, and
+ place it among the archives of the nation, that it may be preserved as
+ a sacred memorial, and handed down to latest posterity as a glorious
+ legacy and standard that was borne, as by angel hands, in opposition
+ to oppression and rebellion. Be assured that it is with a renewed
+ national pride that we look upon this beautiful flag presented to
+ the Twenty-ninth Ohio, by the patriotic and loyal citizens of Summit
+ and Ashtabula counties. The past history of almost four years in
+ war, speaks for our conduct as soldiers and patriots for the future.
+ We promise never to desert this flag, nor will we permit traitors
+ or rebels to wrest it from our hands. We will always be willing and
+ ready to unfurl it in defense of the principles of our glorious, free
+ Republic. Truly our country’s faith has learned a new interpretation
+ of her standard. The white typifies the purity of purpose which
+ belongs to her true ruler; the red points to the crimson tide in which
+ life flows forth a willing offering; the blue reminds her of her home
+ in heaven, to which all the good are gathered; the stars in her banner
+ tell of light in darkness, and she shall learn to range them in a new
+ and beautiful order, as the constellation of the cross. It is that
+ flag which has solved most conclusively the long disputed problem of
+ a free republican form of government. It was that flag which was so
+ bravely and triumphantly carried through the ordeal of war by our
+ Revolutionary sires, and encircled them with a halo of glory that
+ shall be handed down untarnished to millions of unborn freemen. It
+ was that flag which, under God, enabled our forefathers to gain our
+ glorious independence, and here, in this beautiful land of lakes and
+ rivers, rear a temple of liberty which stands first among the nations
+ of the earth, the envy and admiration of all. It is the flag which we
+ have learned to love and to defend, and which we cherish in our hearts
+ as the guardian angel of our country.
+
+ May that same God who has given so many brave hearts to defend it,
+ continue to preserve it, and may it give light and liberty to millions
+ who are yet groaning under tyranny and oppression. But we would not
+ pass by unnoticed the many noble brave men who offered themselves a
+ willing sacrifice upon our country’s altar in defense of that national
+ banner. The voices of our fallen comrades are borne to us in solemn
+ silence by every breeze that fans our brow. The South is billowed with
+ the graves where sleep the patriot martyrs of constitutional liberty,
+ until the resurrection morn. We hold them dear to our hearts, for
+ may it never be forgotten that their deeds of valor facilitated the
+ consummation of the glorious results which have just been achieved.
+ Though they be dead, they yet speak, and will continue to speak to
+ the end of all time, and dear to each patriot heart will ever be the
+ memory of those who died in defense of the Union.
+
+      “There are many
+  Patriots have toiled in their country’s cause,
+  Bled nobly, and their deeds, as they deserve,
+  Receive proud recompense. We give in charge
+  Their names to the sweet lyre. The historic muse
+  Proud of her charge, marches with it down
+  To latest time: and sculpture, in her turn,
+  Gives bond, in stone and ever-during brass,
+  To guard and immortalize her trust.”
+
+At Bladensburg we went into camp, and remained until June 10. Marched
+to Washington at 8 P. M., and embarked on the cars of the Baltimore &
+Ohio railroad and steamed away homeward, bound to Parkersburg by way
+of Grafton, West Virginia, thence by boat to Louisville, Kentucky;
+moved five miles into the country, where we remained until the 13th
+day of July, when we were mustered out. Repairing to Camp Taylor, near
+Cleveland, Ohio, we were paid off and formally discharged from the
+service on the 22d and 23d days of July, 1865.
+
+We have now followed the regiment through nearly four years of the
+most arduous service which ever fell to the lot of any organization
+of this character, marching and fighting through most of the States
+in rebellion, its pathway marked by the graves of our comrades who
+fell. In the interim, hundreds of the brave 1540 who were upon its
+rolls, pass under the charge of the worse than fiends of hell, who
+presided at Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and other courts of
+death, by courtesy called rebel prisons, where, after being robbed
+of all they possessed, and even stripped of necessary clothing, they
+were subjected to a systematic course of starvation (and that, too,
+under the immediate supervision of that foul blot upon humanity, Jeff
+Davis) until their brave spirits went out to the God who gave them.
+In the army of the East, with the army of the West, with Sherman in
+the glorious march to the sea, and the brilliant campaign of the
+Carolinas--where there was danger and death--shone the “white star” of
+the Twenty-ninth. The skirmish line and the advance became so nearly
+the normal condition of the regiment that assignment to positions less
+dangerous elicited exclamations of surprise from the “boys.”
+
+At length the last ditch, so frequently referred to by the braggart
+rebels, was reached--chivalrous Jeff Davis in hoc and crinoline begged
+that mercy be shown to “woman and children.” The bubble secessia burst,
+and the command, now reduced to a mere handful, turn sadly northward,
+its columns “gaping from the havoc of shot and shell, and the disease
+of the camp, and prison pen, its colors ragged and torn, but proud
+and defiant as ever--one grand ovation to the living, a sad wailing
+requiem for the dead,” and “good byes” are said in the beautiful
+Forest city, as each departed for their homes to assume the peaceful
+avocations of four years before.
+
+Gradually they have drifted away--some to a quiet nook in the country
+church yard, and others to the east, west, and south, until now they
+may be found in nearly every State and Territory in this vast Union.
+Annually they come together in re-union at some convenient point in
+Puritan Western Reserve, and
+
+  “Fight their battles o’er again.”
+
+Each year a committee is appointed whose duty it is to draft
+resolutions of condolence to the memory of the comrades whose “final
+statements” have been called for since the last meeting, and this
+committee _always have something to do_. Each yearly roll call is
+shorter than its predecessor, and it does not require a long look into
+the future to find only the roll--no one to call it, and none to answer
+to their names if called.
+
+  Absent “comrades, gone before us
+  In the ‘great review’ to pass--
+  Never more to earthly chieftain
+  Dipping colors as ye pass--
+  Heaven accord ye gentle judgment
+  As before the throne ye pass.”
+
+While almost within gun shot of the site of the canvass covered field
+of 1861, busily engaged in well nigh vain endeavors to retain his grip
+upon the “ragged edge” of a somewhat precarious existence, and but
+a few laps in advance of the grim gentleman with the hour glass and
+scythe, abides
+
+  THE DRUMMER BOY(?) OF COMPANY B.
+
+
+
+
+GENERAL REVIEW.
+
+
+The following review of the battles, sieges, marches, and campaigns in
+which the Twenty-ninth regiment was engaged, is from the pen of Colonel
+Jonas Schoonover. It gives in brief the important work of the regiment
+during its nearly four years’ service, and should the “gentle reader”
+find the descriptive portion of the history too voluminous, she has but
+to turn to this review to find consolation.
+
+Beginning with the service in the winter of 1861-2, along the waters
+of the Potomac and its tributaries, and in the mountain regions of
+Hampshire county, the Romney expedition in West Virginia, the advance
+to Winchester via Little mountain and Martinsburg, thence into the
+Shenandoah valley. The Strasburg march, which ended in the battle of
+Winchester, where the Federal army, under General Shields, and the
+rebels, commanded by General T. J. Jackson, at Kernstown, engaged in a
+sanguinary battle on March 23d, 1862, in which the Union army gained a
+victory. The Twenty-ninth Ohio done its full share, suffering slight
+loss in killed and wounded. The march up the valley to Madisonburg;
+the long march to Fredericksburg, leaving the Shenandoah valley at
+New Market on the 12th day of May, 1862, and reaching Fredericksburg
+May 22, 1862, a day or two later returning to Luray via Warrenton
+and Front Royal, up the Luray valley to Port Republic, where, on the
+9th day of June, it engaged in battle with heavy loss in killed and
+wounded. One hundred and ten were made prisoners. The Twenty-ninth
+was engaged at short range in the open field against three times its
+number over four hours. During the time the struggle was desperate on
+both sides. The battle of Cedar mountain, seven miles from Culpepper
+Courthouse, on August 9th, the Union army under Banks, the rebels under
+Longstreet, the Twenty-ninth was engaged in the open field without
+cover, and sustained considerable loss. Then followed the retrograde
+move to Culpepper; the campaign of General Pope, including the second
+battle of Bull Run; and the march to Frederick City; the winter and
+spring campaign of 1862 and 1863, under Major-general Joseph Hooker,
+at Dumfries, was memorable for its intense suffering; then came the
+march to Chancellorsville, and the battle there, which began May 1st,
+and ended on the 3d, in which the Twenty-ninth suffered heavy loss and
+was the last to leave the field. May 5th we crossed the Rappahannock on
+our way to Gettysburg via Aqua creek, Dumfries, Fairfax Court House,
+Leesburg, Edward’s Ferry, Harper’s Ferry, Frederick, and Littletown,
+where we fought one of the most determined battles of the war,
+commencing on the 1st and ending on the 4th day of July, 1863.
+
+We returned to Virginia; moved to New York to quell riots; returned
+again; advanced to the Rapidan; reported to the Department of the
+Cumberland, via the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, crossing the Ohio
+river at Bellaire. On September 30th, we passed through Columbus,
+Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky, and halted at
+Murfreesboro, Tennessee. In October we passed down to Stevenson and
+Bridgeport, Alabama, and up the Tennessee river to Wauhatchie valley.
+
+On November 24th and 25th, we were engaged in the battle of Lookout
+mountain; Missionary Ridge on November 24th and 25th, and Taylor’s
+Ridge and Ringgold, Georgia, on November 26th and 27th, 1863.
+
+In December of the same year we re-enlisted, and during the winter
+we prepared for a vigorous and active campaign in the early spring
+of 1864. On May 3d, we left Bridgeport, Alabama, on the Georgia
+campaign, passing around Lookout Mountain, Rossville, and Crawfish
+springs. On May 8th, the Twenty-ninth regiment took an active part
+in the battle of Dug Gap, Georgia, where it distinguished itself for
+bravery unparalleled in modern history; every fourth man was killed or
+wounded. We moved on to Resaca, and in the fight of the 14th our loss
+was light. We moved on to Calhoun, Adairsville, Kingston, and Cassville
+on May 21st. In the battle of Pumpkin Vine Creek (or Dallas) from May
+25th to the 28th, we met with some loss. In the battle of Pine Knob on
+June 15th, the Twenty-ninth suffered severe loss. Many of its brave
+heroes, whose valor will ever be held in memory by every survivor
+of the Twenty-ninth regiment, were killed. The battles of Lost and
+Kenesaw Mountain were on June 20th and 27th, and we advanced to the
+Chattahoochie river, via Marietta, Georgia, and then to the battle of
+Peach Tree Creek.
+
+The Georgia campaign, from May 8th until the evacuation of Atlanta on
+September 2, 1864, a period of four months, was one continuous battle.
+The marching through Georgia was a glorious achievement, and will ever
+be recorded as one of the most brilliant feats in this or any other
+war. In Sherman’s grand march to the sea and the siege and capture of
+Savannah, Georgia, the Twenty-ninth did its full share. It was engaged
+from December 10th to the 21st, when it entered the city of Savannah.
+On January 27, 1865, we moved on the campaign through the Carolinas,
+and were engaged in the following battles, and skirmishes of this
+campaign; Averysboro, North Carolina, on March 16th; Bentonville,
+North Carolina, on March 19, 1865, and marching to Goldsboro on March
+24th. After Johnston’s army at Raleigh, North Carolina, and the final
+march through Virginia to Washington in May, 1865, we took part in the
+grand review, thence to Louisville, Kentucky, on to Camp Taylor at
+Cleveland, Ohio, and home. The regiment was in the service nearly four
+years, and it is but justice to state that during its entire term it
+was _never driven from its position by direct assault_.

+TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES
+
+This ebook was transcribed by a native of the state of Ohio.
+
+This book transcription is dedicated to Thadeus “Ted” Slade, also a
+native Ohioan and the biggest Civil War history buff I know.
+
+Some punctuation has been standardized. Some alternate spellings
+may have been retained. Some obvious misspellings and typographical
+errors/omissions have been corrected. Any other changes are noted below.
+
+Some inconsistencies in human or place names were corrected by
+correlating with names elsewhere in the text.
+
+The errata from the original book was applied to this text.
+
+p. 60: Inserted a probable missing beginning of paragraph. (“[It] is
+perhaps unnecessary”)
+
+p. 64: Corrected year in chapter description from 1862 to 1863. The
+Battle of Chancellorsville took place in 1863, and the end of the prior
+chapter also indicates we are in mid-1863 at this point in the journal.
+
+p. 120: Corrected date “August 2st” to August 1st (“August 1st to 3d,
+hot firing all the time.”). The phrasing “to” vs. “and” makes a date
+range of larger than two days likely, and it’s more reasonable to
+believe the printer misplaced 2 for 1, than misplaced “st” for “nd”.
+
+p. 143: Corrected time from 6:30 to 9:30 (“at 9:30 fell in and marched
+six miles as rear guard to the Twentieth army corps”). It’s not logical
+that they would move from 8:00am back to 6:30am in the journal. The
+printer presumably set 6 in place of 9, or inverted the 9.
+
+p. 232: Corrected the discharge date for John H. Finneman (confirmed
+using records found on civilwarindex.com on January 23, 2021). As
+printed, the date was June 18, 1865.
+
+p. 241: Corrected Lysander T. King’s company from “T” to “F” per the
+company F listing on p. 206.

-<p>On the twentieth anniversary of the organization of

-the Twenty-ninth regiment Ohio Veteran volunteer infantry,

-Comrade J. H. SeCheverell was instructed to prepare

-a history of the same, and the undersigned were

-appointed a committee to supervise its publication.

-Comrade SeCheverell, after months of perplexing labor,

-completed the manuscript which was examined by us in

-Cleveland, July 19, 1882. It was then decided to issue

-fifty proof copies of the work to be put into the hands

-of members of the regiment for such additions or corrections

-as should be found necessary. This was done, and

-after the return of the proofs and the incorporation of

-whatever corrections they contained, Comrade SeCheverell

-visited Akron, and spent several days with Colonel

-Schoonover, to whom was intrusted the corrections

-for that vicinity, and it is with no small degree of satisfaction

-that we now present the work to the comrades

-and friends of the regiment with our hearty endorsement,

-believing it <em>as complete and perfect as it is possible

-to make it</em>.</p>

-</div>

-

-<p>In the following pages no attempt at literary gush is

-made, the design being simply to preserve from oblivion

-the record of the valiant deeds of this, the bravest of the

-brave regiments from the Buckeye State, that in the dim,

-distant future, when each comrade shall have answered

-to his last earthly roll-call and gone to the “grand

-review” with the many whose bones now repose in that

-far away country of the orange and the magnolia, those

-left behind may not forget the sacrifices made, and the

-untold dangers endured for that flag, the beautiful, starry

-emblem of a now united people, whose supremacy preserved

-for them the blessings of this great country, the

-best beneath the ethereal vault of heaven.</p>

-

-<p>The data from which the journal portion of the volume

-is composed was obtained from members of the regiment,

-who certify to its correctness. Colonel Jonas

-Schoonover furnished, from Atlanta to Washington.</p>

-

-<p>The reader will mark the entire absence of personal

-laudation so common in works of this class, and the

-crowding of a few favored ones to the front to the exclusion

-of the hundreds of equally brave and meritorious

-men in perhaps lowly positions. That the fortunes of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[10]</span>

-war brought many forward with flattering prominence is

-most true, and that thousands who wore the simple

-blouse of blue and carried the musket were possessed of

-merit as great is also true. To have been a member of

-the Twenty-ninth Regiment Ohio Veteran Volunteers is

-glory enough for a lifetime. If you did your duty, it is

-well; if you failed, printers’ ink will not make a hero of

-you. Then let each be content with the happy assurance

-that he did what he could for the flag.</p>

-

-<p>The writer would acknowledge in an especial manner

-his obligations to L. D. Drum, adjutant-general of the

-United States army, for the very complete casualty list at

-the close of the volume; also, to Samuel B. Smith, adjutant-general

-of Ohio, Hon. E. B. Taylor, Colonel

-Edward Hayes, Jonas Schoonover, Captain R. H. Baldwin,

-George W. Holloway; the members of the very

-efficient revisory committee, Captains D. W. Thomas, T.

-W. Nash, Lieutenant T. E. Hoyt, Sergeant E. F. Mason,

-and C. H. Coon; the Ashtabula Sentinel, Jefferson

-Gazette, and the Akron Daily News, for numerous

-courtesies extended to him, during the preparation of

-this work; and to each comrade and friend who has aided

-him in his labors, to name all of whom would require

-many pages. He has conscientiously endeavored to

-make the volume free from errors. If he has succeeded

-it will be the first of its kind. However, such as it is, it

-is presented to the regiment and its friends with the

-belief that it contains much of value.</p>

-<h2 class="nobreak" id="INTRODUCTION">INTRODUCTION.</h2>

-</div>

-

-<p>The author of this volume has honored me with an

-invitation to write an “Introduction.” A book without

-a preface would be an anomaly: in other words, out of

-harmony with established usage; not strictly important,

-but answering much the same purpose as the “whereas”

-preceding the resolutions of the convention.</p>

-

-<p>I have not been permitted to read the author’s manuscript,

-yet I do not hesitate to assure the reader that as

-he peruses the pages of the book he will find much to

-entertain and profit. To the veteran who enlisted and

-fought in the historic “Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran

-volunteer infantry” it will be read with especial interest.

-The eye will moisten, and the heart swell with mingled

-emotions as he is reminded again of the varying scenes

-of the camp, the march, and the battle. Others, too

-young to remember anything of the war, but who have

-heard the stories of the conflict from their fathers, will

-read this historic sketch of the old regiment with the

-greatest avidity.</p>

-

-<p>We well remember the author as “Hamp,” the drummer

-boy of Company B, his boyish look, with his neatly-fitting

-suit of blue, and the tenor drum suspended from

-his neck, while with nimble fingers he plied the ebony

-sticks in beating the tattoo, reveille, or the “long roll.”</p>

-

-<p>He has done a real and invaluable service to his comrades

-in gathering up and condensing in neat and durable<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[12]</span>

-form so many interesting facts relating to the work of a

-noble regiment. So much, at least, is saved from

-oblivion.</p>

-

-<p>In writing the history of any war only a mere outline

-can be thought of. Anything like a full and detailed

-account of what happened is out of the question.

-Neither time nor space would permit.</p>

-

-<p>The multiplied thousands who carried their muskets

-and knapsacks on foot all over “Dixie,” and who really

-did the hard work of the conflict, must be massed in

-history even as in war they were massed against the foe.

-Their individual deeds of daring and suffering were not

-a whit behind those of the great Wellingtons, Washingtons,

-and Grants. The latter were in positions to glide

-easily into history, and have their heroic deeds emblazoned

-and read in the books of every nation. The

-former may have loved their country as well and fought

-as bravely for her honor, and yet die in obscurity, “to

-fortune and to fame unknown.”</p>

-

-<p>Dr. SeCheverell has doubtless done his best under the

-circumstances to do justice to the name of every member

-of the old Twenty-ninth. It was known as the Giddings’

-regiment, in honor of the Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, for

-twenty consecutive years a member of the lower house

-of Congress.</p>

-

-<p>Perhaps no man during his time did more than Mr.

-Giddings to create public opinion in favor of the freedom

-of the slave. The regiment was raised almost entirely

-within the bounds of his old district, and it was fitting

-that it should bear his name. But I remember that

-when recruiting it a frequent objection to enlistment was

-that should any member of the regiment be so unfortunate

-as to be taken prisoner by the “Rebs,” he would

-be forthwith shot, hung, or burnt at the stake, particularly<span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[13]</span>

-on Giddings’ account, and that the name would be

-so odious in the South, and would so advertise the regiment

-that every member would be especially hunted

-down and exterminated.</p>

-

-<p>I think “Hamp” has failed utterly to ascertain that

-any prisoner from the Twenty-ninth was thus punished,

-although many of the boys were often in rebel hands.</p>

-

-<p>I have ever considered myself fortunate and honored

-in having been associated with such a regiment.</p>

-

-<p>I was duly appointed and commissioned as the first

-chaplain, holding the position one year, resigning at the

-expiration of that time, and receiving an honorable discharge

-from the service.</p>

-

-<p>Of the officers of the regiment much might be said.

-Nobody who ever knew Colonel Buckley will ever forget

-him. A brave man, a great admirer of order and discipline,

-faultlessly neat and tidy, a confirmed dyspeptic;

-yet the most ticklish and fun provoking humor often

-cropped out in his conversation and intercourse with

-men. One morning, away down between Bull Run and

-Fredericksburg, when the tired and jaded men were in

-line for the day’s march, the Colonel was in his saddle

-with his toes daintily touching the stirrups, his pale, clean

-shaven face shaded by the visor of his blue cap, from

-beneath which his practiced eye swept the whole regiment

-at a glance, while his well-polished sword, firmly

-gripped, stood perpendicular, resting against the shoulder;

-with a stentorian voice he published the following

-order: “Men of the Twenty-ninth, let there be no

-straggling on the march to-day. But if any of you do

-straggle take Twenty-ninth off from your caps and put

-on One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania.”</p>

-

-<p>The joke on the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania

-was fully appreciated and immensely enjoyed (a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">[14]</span>

-regiment noted for straggling). With roars of laughter

-the boys shouldered their muskets and knapsacks for

-another hard day’s march through the pine barrens.</p>

-

-<p>Lieutenant-colonel Clark is remembered as a staunch

-advocate of temperance, whose interests were ever for

-the men.</p>

-

-<p>Major Clemmer, as a genial, bluff soldier, whose songs

-often enlivened the dreariness of the camp or bivouac;

-and Quartermaster Gibbs, as a man of prompt execution,

-who expected equal promptness from others. Many

-anecdotes and incidents of them could be narrated

-by the page, but I remember that the introduction

-to the volume is not the place for sketches of this kind;

-and I fear that I have already introduced much that does

-not strictly belong to this part of the book. I beg pardon

-for any seeming trespass in this direction.</p>

-

-<p>This introduction, written in the midst of other pressing

-duties, with frequent interruptions, now most affectionately

-inscribes this volume to every member of the

-Twenty-ninth regiment of Ohio Veteran volunteer infantry;

-to their wives and their children.</p>

-

-<p>I am happy to enjoy this privilege of saying a few

-words in Dr. SeCheverell’s book to my old comrades.

-My prayer is that God will bless every surviving member

-of the regiment, with their families, also the widows and

-orphans of deceased members, and that when the battle

-of life is over, we may wear the victor’s crown in heaven.</p>

-<p class="center"><small>The South Preparing for War&mdash;The Fall of Sumter&mdash;The Grand

-Rally to the Support of the Flag&mdash;Formation of the Regiment.</small></p>

-

-<p>President Lincoln, in his inaugural address of March

-4, 1861, said: “I have no purpose, directly or indirectly,

-to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States

-where it exists. I believe that I have no lawful right,

-and I have no inclination to do so.” The South had

-apparently decided otherwise, and continued the preparations

-for secession, begun under the administration

-of, and so ably seconded by that old imbecile, James Buchanan.</p>

-

-<p>The outlook became so fraught with danger to the

-Union, that on April 7th a naval expedition sailed from

-New York to the relief of Fort Sumter. Its arrival off

-Charleston harbor was followed by a furious bombardment

-of the fort by the rebel batteries of General Beauregard.

-The capitulation on April 13th, of the little

-handful of gallant men who so bravely defended their

-country’s flag, was followed by an outburst of patriotic

-indignation perhaps never before witnessed in the history

-of the world. In an incredibly short space of

-time the President’s call for seventy-five thousand men<span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">[18]</span>

-was filled by citizens eagerly marching to the defense

-of the National capital.</p>

-

-<p>The rebels meanwhile were busily engaged in appropriating

-or destroying the available arms and munitions

-of war belonging to the Government. At Bull Run, a

-few miles from Washington, General Beauregard massed

-his rebel horde, and here, on July 21st, General McDowell

-gratified the insane “On to Richmond” cry, by giving

-them battle. The result was the complete overthrow of

-the Union army, which retreated in the wildest disorder

-to Washington. This event cast a deep gloom over

-the entire North (barring the copperhead element).

-More than twice the time allowed by the knowing(?)

-ones to crush the Rebellion (sixty days) had elapsed,

-and yet it was growing stronger every day. The North

-was not yet awake to the magnitude of the work it had

-undertaken. The first patriotic outburst was on the

-wane; the sympathy of England and the encouragement

-given to the rebels by the “copperheads” in the North,

-gave a prestige to the Southern cause which, to many,

-bespoke the final success of treason. In this dark hour

-of our country’s peril, that brave old hero, Joshua R.

-Giddings, with B. F. Wade, E. B. Woodbury, and other

-well known associates, feeling that they had been disappointed

-in the acts of another regiment, made up in

-part of soldiers recruited in this district, obtained permission

-to organize regiment number Twenty-nine, which

-should be made up as far as possible, of those in political

-sympathy with the projectors. The report of the

-soldiers already returned from the three months’ service,

-and who were generally ready to go again, seemed to indicate

-who they wished for commanders. Major Lewis

-P. Buckley, of Akron, educated at West Point, was generally

-desired as colonel, and Thomas Clark, of Cleveland,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">[19]</span>

-formerly a cadet at Norwich university, Vermont,

-was for the same reason selected to commence the work.

-He was accordingly appointed major, on the 13th of

-August. Two days later he was mustered into service,

-and ordered to report at once to Jefferson, select a suitable

-location, and organize a camp. On the 17th he

-arrived at Jefferson, and a couple of days were spent in

-examining fields offered; at last the grounds of the

-County Agricultural Society were selected. A part of

-company A reported on the 19th, and company B in the

-afternoon of the same day. The camp equipage arrived

-on the 20th. On the 27th company C reported, and on

-September 10th, company D, and with this company

-came Colonel Buckley, who had just completed his service

-in the Nineteenth regiment.</p>

-

-<p>Following are the companies, in the order they entered

-the service, with the commanders and the localities

-from which they were recruited: Company A, Captain

-William F. Fitch, was recruited in Jefferson and vicinity,

-and Hartsgrove. Company B, Captain Wilbur F. Stevens,

-was recruited in Pierpont and vicinity, and Harpersfield.

-Company C, Captain Edward Hayes, was

-recruited in Andover and vicinity, Gustavus, Ohio, and

-Espyville, Pennsylvania. Company D, Captain Pulaski

-C. Hard, was recruited in Akron, Summit county. Company

-E, Captain Horatio Luce, was recruited in Conneaut

-and surrounding townships. Company F, Captain

-John F. Morse, was recruited in Painesville and Mentor,

-Lake county, and Montville, Geauga county. Company

-G, Captain John S. Clemmer, was recruited in Akron

-and vicinity. (Second Lieutenant W. P. Williamson, of

-this company, who was shot dead at the battle of Winchester,

-Virginia, March 23, 1862, was the first man in

-the regiment to die by rebel hands.) Company H, Captain<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[20]</span>

-Jonas Schoonover, was recruited in Akron and vicinity.

-Company I, Captain Russell B. Smith, was

-recruited in Medina county, and by transfers, and company

-K, Captain Alden P. Steele, was recruited from

-the various townships in Ashtabula county.</p>

-

-<p>The adverse causes before referred to, materially retarded

-the enlistment of the regiment, and it was not

-until about December 1st that the different company

-organizations were completed and the following staff

-officers elected:</p>

-

-<p>Colonel Lewis P. Buckley, Akron, Summit county.</p>

-

-<p>Lieutenant-colonel Thomas Clark, Cleveland, Cuyahoga

-county.</p>

-

-<p>During the interim came the easy days of soldier life.

-Ah! those happy, golden days of camp life, when, with

-guard mount, battalion drill, and dress parade, the time

-passed swiftly away, and each heart beat high with patriotic

-desire for early marching orders; days looked back

-to from the dreary bivouac in the snow, tentless, and

-with clothing in tatters, scarce covering the form from

-the bitter, cutting winds of winter, or in the drizzling

-rain on the lonely outpost when sharp-eyed rebels only

-waited for the opportunity to send the leaden messenger

-of death whizzing in your direction. Sometimes the

-“boys” thought the rations were not sufficiently “gilt-edged,”

-quite too plain in fact, for the savers of the

-country’s honor, yet how often, while trying, almost in

-vain, with the half-pint of raw meal to keep the soul and

-the poor emaciated body together in those hell devised

-starvation traps&mdash;Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and

-Salisbury&mdash;did the brave fellows turn with longing hearts

-to the bounteous commissary at old Camp Giddings.

-Fears were oft expressed lest the war would close before

-the Twenty-ninth should be permitted to add its mite to

-the support of the flag. How needless they were the

-rolls show; more than one-third (five hundred and forty)

-of the one thousand five hundred and thirty-two members

-of the regiment, were either killed, wounded, or

-missing in action, and one hundred and fifty-seven died

-of disease. The colors, too, which waved so grandly in

-the sharp winter air, that long agone Christmas morning

-in 1861, are now in shreds, rent and torn by the leaden<span class="pagenum" id="Page_22">[22]</span>

-hail through which they were carried to glorious victories.</p>

-

-<p>This beautiful stand of colors was presented to the

-regiment on Wednesday, November 27th, by Hon. J. R.

-Giddings, on behalf of the donors, the ladies of Ashtabula

-and Summit counties. Mr. Giddings spoke as follows:

-“Gentlemen, officers and soldiers. Before entering

-upon the particular duty assigned me on the present

-occasion, I may be permitted to congratulate you

-and the country, upon the completion of your regimental

-organization and the perfection of your preparation

-for the field. I desire you at all times to bear in

-mind the causes which led to its formation. The present

-rebellion has its origin far back in history. Its first

-overt acts were put forth in Congress by subjecting the

-people of the free States to gag rules, by striking down

-the right of petition, by arraigning and publicly censuring

-Representatives for the faithful discharge of duty, by

-annexing, unconstitutionally, slave territory, and extending

-and strengthening the encroachments of slavery. To

-these violent encroachments upon the constitutional

-rights of the free States, this Western Reserve has from

-the first, presented a very general resistance....</p>

-

-<p>“The ladies have prepared a splendid National and

-regimental stand of colors, and have imposed on me the

-pleasing duty of presenting them to the regiment. In

-all past ages civilized nations have gone forth to war

-under their own banner, on which was inscribed some

-device, figure, or emblem, peculiar to such nation.

-Thus each tribe among the Israelites had its particular

-banner. The early Christians fought under the cross,

-the Romans under the golden eagle, the Mohammedans

-under the crescent. The founders of our government

-selected for their colors a groundwork of blue, representing<span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">[23]</span>

-immutable justice and unlimited power, on which

-the stars, representing light, are twinkling in the vaulted

-heavens, while in mid ether the bird of Jove is floating,

-a fitting representation of the ease and power with which

-liberty and civilization are gliding over the earth; while

-the stars and stripes of red and white represent the vital

-principles and purity of our institutions.</p>

-

-<p>[Addressing Colonel Buckley]: “To you, sir, as

-commander, I present these beautiful standards, for the

-use and benefit of the regiment. On behalf of the fair

-donors I confide these National and regimental standards

-to the care of yourself, your gallant officers and

-men. Wherever you go let them be borne aloft and respected

-as the emblem of universal freedom to all who

-seek your protection. Preserve them unstained, except

-by the blood of your enemies. Bear in mind that you

-go forth to fight the battles of the human race for all

-coming time; and should the roar of cannon, the rattling

-of muskets, the clashing of sabres, the din and

-smoke of battle surround you, remember the cause in

-which you are engaged, and be assured that if you fall,

-we who are left will care for your widows and children.

-Your own heroic deeds shall be enshrined in our memories,

-recorded in our history, admired by coming generations,

-and approved by a holy and just God.”</p>

-

-<p>Colonel Buckley replied: “Respected Sir&mdash;I receive

-this stand of colors in behalf of the Twenty-ninth

-regiment. I return through you to the noble and

-patriotic ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties their

-grateful thanks; and whenever and wherever it is unfurled

-to the breeze, and we look upon its stars and

-stripes, may we then remember the generous donors and

-the vow we this day make. This flag, the flag of our

-country, which has been our pride and our boast, and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">[24]</span>

-which is respected by all civilized nations; this flag,

-thank God, shall yet wave triumphantly wherever it has

-been struck down by the ruthless arm of the traitors:

-and, companions, whenever we look upon this beautiful

-flag may it inspire us to redouble our energies to do our

-duty to our beloved country, and if God in his providence

-permits us to return to home and kindred, may

-this flag come back with us to bear witness that the

-Twenty-ninth regiment Ohio volunteers was in the

-thickest of the fight.</p>

-

-<p>“Sir, you have spoken in high commendation of my

-command. I can assure you I feel myself honored in

-having command of such a regiment. It will be my

-pride and ambition, with my fellow-officers to make it in

-all things pertaining to a well drilled and well disciplined

-regiment, one of the best in Ohio. And now, fellow-soldiers,

-in the presence of this assembly, and before

-high heaven, we swear upon the altar of our country to

-defend this flag so long as there shall be one true heart

-and strong arm to hold it to the breeze.”</p>

-

-<p>At last the “boys’” impatience to go anywhere but

-here, was gratified by an order to move to Camp Chase,

-near Columbus, Ohio, the date December 25th; and

-right here it may not be amiss to give an extract from

-an editorial in the Ashtabula Sentinel, as showing what

-the people of Jefferson thought of the regiment:</p>

-

-<div class="blockquot">

-<p>“They leave Jefferson with the respect and esteem of

-our citizens as an orderly and well behaved body of men.

-They have been over three months within our quiet village,

-during which time no disturbance has occurred and

-no depredations have been committed. They have

-proved themselves honorable men, the best evidence that

-they will be brave soldiers. When they are heard from

-in the fight we have no fears of a bad account.”</p>

-

-<p class="center"><small>The Departure from Camp Giddings&mdash;At the Front&mdash;Death of Lander&mdash;Advance

-up the Valley&mdash;Winchester.</small></p>

-

-<p>Christmas morning, 1861, dawned clear, with the

-earth bountifully covered with snow, and soon the busy

-preparations for this the first march were apparent everywhere.

-Knapsacks were packed, tents were struck, and

-the camp equipage snugly put into shape for transportation

-to Ashtabula, and at 10 o’clock the drums beat off. Then

-the regiment filed out of the enclosure, bidding a

-fond good-bye, many for the last time, to the old camp,

-up through the town, where everybody was waiting to

-wish the “boys” God speed. “Head of column left,”

-and the Twenty-ninth regiment was en-route for Ashtabula

-and the front, followed by the prayers of fathers,

-mothers, brothers, sisters, and sweethearts, that its every

-effort might be crowned with success, and that, if heaven

-so willed, all might return safely to the arms of loved

-ones, “when the cruel war was over.” How beautiful

-they looked in their new uniform, and how gaily the

-bayonets glistened in the bright sunlight as each man

-kept step to the music.</p>

-

-<p>Arriving at Ashtabula, the regiment took cars, and

-was soon whirling rapidly towards Columbus, where it

-arrived the following day.</p>

-

-<p>On disembarking from the cars, a march of four miles

-on the National pike to the west brought the regiment to

-Camp Chase, where it was assigned to barracks, and the

-sweets (?) of soldier life began to be more perceptible.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_35">[35]</span>

-While lying here, the regiment attended the inauguration

-of David Tod as Governor of Ohio, and perfected itself

-in the school of the soldier. On the 26th day of January,

-1862, the long roll again sounded; the Twenty-ninth

-regiment fell in, and marched to the depot, a distance

-of four miles. It took cars, and steamed away for

-Dixie, passing through Newark and Zanesville, and

-across the Ohio river at Bellair, thence via the Baltimore

-&amp; Ohio railroad through the mountains of West Virginia

-to a point some six miles below Cumberland, Maryland,

-where it made its first camp in Dixie. There it was assigned

-to the left flank of the Third brigade (the Seventh

-Ohio volunteer infantry occupying the right), Colonel E.

-B. Tyler commanding, and here it may be well to state

-that from this time until the Seventh regiment was discharged

-the service (July 8, 1864), the two regiments

-occupied the same position, engaged in the same battles,

-and endured an equal amount of the hard service incident

-to the several campaigns. The Twenty-ninth remained

-in active service for nearly a year after the

-discharge of its well-bred friends of the Seventh and

-until the collapse of the Rebellion. This for the benefit

-of those who imagine that only one regiment was recruited

-in Northern Ohio.</p>

-

-<p>On February 5, 1862, a general movement was ordered

-to entrap the forces of Stonewall Jackson, then occupying

-Romney. The Twenty-ninth and its brigade took

-cars to French’s store, and marched some twenty miles

-to a point between Romney and Winchester to intercept

-the retreat of the rebels. The attempt was futile, however,

-as those whom the federals sought had flown ere

-the designated point was reached. This march was a

-terrible one, and told heavily on the men, many of whom

-succumbed to disease incident to exposure to the intense<span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">[36]</span>

-cold, the fording of streams whose icy waters were often

-waist deep, and the general hardships, were sent to hospital

-at Cumberland, and never returned to duty. Returning

-the following day, the regiment bivouacked at a

-point some eight miles from the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad,

-known as Pine Levels or the Heights of Hampshire.

-Here it remained some ten days exposed to the

-intense cold, without tents, few blankets, on short rations,

-and no cooking utensils. Rude brush enclosures were

-constructed, which served the same purpose as Artemus

-Ward’s window sash, sort of “tangle the cold” or “keep

-out the coarsest.” It was by the greatest effort that the

-men were kept from freezing. This sort of thing seemed

-a pretty tough introduction to the “Sunny South,” but

-hardships of this kind became the normal experience of

-the Twenty-ninth regiment, and the sunny spots which

-occasionally intervened were duly appreciated.</p>

-

-<p>The next move was to the eastward to Paw Paw station

-on the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad, near which the

-Twenty-ninth and its brigade went into camp. February

-22d, Washington’s birthday, was duly observed. A

-general review was indulged in. The streets were prettily

-trimmed with evergreens; and arches, and other

-pretty devices were numerous. The Twenty-ninth were

-domiciled in small and nearly worn out wall tents.</p>

-

-<p>On Saturday, March 1st, as the shades of evening

-were falling, the Twenty-ninth and its command marched

-with two days’ rations, in the direction of Winchester,

-Virginia, the object being the capture of that important

-point. After an all night’s march the command halted,

-and, in a blinding snow storm, waited for further orders.

-At 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> a counter-march was ordered, and at

-about midnight the old camp at Paw Paw was reached.

-The object of this move was to attend the remains of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">[37]</span>

-brave General Lander to the cars, which was accomplished

-on the following day. All the troops in the vicinity

-were present. At 9 o’clock on the morning of Saturday,

-March 8th, the command struck tents and

-marched to the railroad; at night took cars and moved

-in the direction of Martinsburg, en route for Winchester.

-Some two or three days were occupied in reaching

-the former place, as extreme caution was necessary. A

-burned bridge at Back creek stopped further steam locomotion,

-and on the 11th the command moved forward

-through Martinsburg, encamping some two miles out on

-the Winchester road. Here General James Shields, of

-some celebrity in the Mexican war, assumed command

-of the division, and the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania

-infantry volunteers was added to the brigade.

-The following morning the column continued the forward

-movement, under orders to join General Banks, in

-his attack on Winchester. The rebels retreated, and

-Shields’ division went into camp to the north of Winchester,

-some four miles out on the Martinsburg pike.</p>

-

-<p>When the rebels first occupied Virginia General Johnston

-(commanding the extreme left of Beauregard’s army)

-took possession of Winchester. Troops from here destroyed

-the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad and constantly

-harrassed our forces in the direction of Harper’s Ferry

-and Cumberland. It was of great importance that the

-Union arms gain and hold possession of this point,

-hence the concentration of Federal troops in this

-vicinity.</p>

-

-<p>Skirmishing with the enemy was a daily occurrence,

-and, on the morning of March 20th, a reconnoissance in

-force was made up the valley to Strasburg. General

-Shields, with the Twenty-ninth and its brigade, numbering

-some six thousand men, moved direct to that point,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">[38]</span>

-while Colonel Mason’s brigade advanced on the Front

-Royal road. At Cedar creek a lively artillery duel

-transpired, during which the rebels succeeded in burning

-the bridge. The following morning the entire command

-fell back to its camp below Winchester. This was a march

-which tested the men’s power of endurance to its utmost.

-The rain fell lightly but continuously during the

-day. For rations the men had barely one cracker each,

-and yet they made the entire distance&mdash;twenty-two

-miles&mdash;in seven hours, halting only a few minutes about

-noon.</p>

-<p class="center"><small>The Battle of Winchester or Kernstown&mdash;Stonewall Jackson Whipped.</small></p>

-

-<p>At Kernstown, some four miles south of Winchester,

-Jackson’s command, numbering fully fifteen thousand

-men, was massed, and on March 22d attacked the Union

-outposts. The citizens of Winchester, who, by the way,

-were about as thoroughly imbued with treason as at any

-point within the writer’s knowledge in the whole of the

-chivalrous (?) South, were in high glee at the prospect of

-being rid of those odious Lincoln hirelings, and some

-were so sanguine of success to the Southern arms that

-they prepared elegant repasts for the victors. However

-that may be, the rebel horde did not enter Winchester

-at this time, except, perhaps, a few dead ones carried

-there for burial.</p>

-

-<p>Soon after the firing began the First and Second

-brigades of General Shields’ division were moved to the

-front, and a lively skirmish ensued resulting in the repulse

-of the enemy. General Shields was wounded

-quite severely during this brief engagement, and at night,

-when active hostilities ceased, he retired to Winchester.

-The dawn of Sunday, March 23d, was heralded by the

-rapid boom of artillery and the lively rattle of musketry,

-as the advance of the two armies resumed the skirmishing

-of the previous afternoon. This was continued during

-nearly the entire forenoon. About noon the long

-roll beat throughout our camp; quickly the men fell into

-line, and in columns of fours, under command of brave

-Colonel Buckley, marched rapidly, a portion of the distance<span class="pagenum" id="Page_40">[40]</span>

-at a double quick, toward the point of attack.

-On reaching Winchester the regiment halted, came to a

-front, loaded their pieces, and remained until the artillery

-and trains had passed. We then moved on the road

-leading to Kernstown, some two or three miles, and

-again halted. After some vexatious delay the regiment

-again resumed the march and soon reached the scene of

-the action, which was about seven miles from Winchester.

-The enemy were under General Thomas J. Jackson

-(Stonewall). His right extending across the Pike leading

-to Strasburg, and his forces on his left masked behind

-a stone fence, while at the rear for a considerable distance

-the ground was a gradual ascent covered with stumps

-and wood which were well used as cover. The Twenty-ninth

-regiment and its brigade was moved to the extreme

-right of the line, and, formed in close column, by

-division, moved forward through the timber to the attack.

-At close range the rebels opened a heavy fire, but

-we continued to advance, halting at a small ravine where

-we deployed in line of battle, and in this position a sharp

-and determined engagement ensued. The distance

-between the opposing forces did not exceed sixteen

-rods. Late in the afternoon an order was given the

-Third brigade to charge the rebel line. Quick as thought

-the whole line sprang forward, and with cheers sounding

-above the roar of the conflict, in the teeth of a murderous

-fire, swept down over the stone wall and at the bayonet’s

-point drove the enemy from their chosen position.

-To the rear they fled until reaching their artillery, where

-another stand was made and a rally attempted. The

-Union lead poured into their ranks with such deadly effect

-that they soon became panic-stricken, and in the

-greatest disorder retreated in whatever direction best

-offered an avenue of escape, and Stonewall Jackson, the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_41">[41]</span>

-pride of the South and by many considered the bravest

-general in the rebel army, was whipped, and that, too, by

-a force much inferior in numbers, many of whom had

-never faced death before.</p>

-

-<p>To make the victory still more sure our forces followed

-the disordered mass of fleeing rebels and captured many

-prisoners, until darkness closed over all, when our brave

-boys returned to rest upon their laurels upon the bloody

-field of carnage, bury the dead and care for the wounded.

-The result of this battle was a loss to the rebels of

-the Shenandoah valley, at that time of great importance

-to them, with casualties amounting to some five hundred

-men killed, wounded, and left on the field, and three

-hundred prisoners. The loss of the Twenty-ninth regiment

-in this action was: Five killed, seven wounded,

-two missing; aggregate fourteen. See casualties at the

-close of the volume for names.</p>

-Royal&mdash;March to Waynesboro.</small></p>

-

-<p>At early dawn on the morning of March 24th the

-Union army pushed forward in pursuit of the retreating

-rebels. The Twenty-ninth deployed as skirmishes in

-the advance. Many wounded Confederates were found

-in private houses along the line of march. About noon

-the dashing rebel cavalry officer Ashby came from cover

-and suddenly swooped down upon the regiment with

-a heavy cavalry force. Rallying by companies and

-forming squares, a well directed volley soon sent

-the rebels in haste to the rear. The pursuit of

-the fleeing rebels was continued until nightfall, when

-the regiment went into bivouac near Cedar creek. The

-next morning (25th) our columns again pushed forward

-until reaching a point a little in advance of Strasburg,

-where a halt was ordered and a camp (Kimball), established.

-Here we remained for some time, making frequent

-raids into the surrounding country and skirmishing

-almost daily with the enemy.</p>

-

-<p>April 1st the regiment again moved after the retreating

-army, and about daylight on the following morning

-indulged in some artillery firing with the rebel rear

-guards. During the month of April the regiment

-marched up the valley as far as Newmarket, passing the

-towns of Woodstock and Mount Jackson. At the latter

-place a hospital was established, and companies G and

-E were detailed for provost, and other duties, in and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">[43]</span>

-around Mount Jackson, while the remainder of the regiment

-moved up the valley to Camp Thurburn and continued

-the usual picket, camp, and guard duties.</p>

-

-<p>May 3d left camp and marched up the valley in the

-direction of Harrisburg; halted about three miles from

-town and camped for the night. May 5th, returned

-from near the town of Harrisburg and went into camp

-four miles above Newmarket, where the regiment remained

-until the 12th day of May, when it left the

-Shenandoah valley at Newmarket on the long march to

-Fredericksburg, marched to Luray, and encamped for

-the night (marched eighteen miles). Thirteenth, moved

-Fifth, marched at 5 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, marched four miles, halted,

-put up our tents, and prepared to be comfortable, when

-at 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> we were ordered to move. This was

-occasioned by the close proximity of the rebel batteries

-on the opposite side of the river. The regiment marched

-about one mile and again halted for the night. Sixth,

-ordered to march at 4 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, fell into line at 5, moved

-two miles, halted, stacked arms, soon fell in and

-marched about two miles farther, pitched our tents, and

-at 6 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> fell in and marched back to the place the regiment

-left in the morning, where we arrived at 12 at

-night, and went into camp. Saturday, 7th, the regiment

-was up at 4 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> and marched at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> (the baggage

-was ordered to Luray and Front Royal; Sergeant C. H.

-firing at Cross Keys on the west side of the Shenandoah

-river and mountain. The regiment moved on up the

-river and about 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> were in sight of the

-rebels, whose ambulances and train were moving rapidly

-in retreat in the direction of Port Republic from the

-battle of Cross Keys. The Union forces were under

-the command of Major-general John C. Fremont, and

-the Confederate army commanded by Major-general

-Thomas J. Jackson. The Union army took shelter in a

-near Port Republic, Virginia, and bivouacked for the

-night.</p>

-<p class="center"><small>Battle of Port Republic&mdash;The Twenty-ninth Suffer Great Loss.</small></p>

-

-<p>On June 9th, in the dim light of early morning the

-enemy began to move, and soon our artillery opened a

-brisk fire on them. The Twenty-ninth regiment, under

-command of Colonel Buckley, was ordered to fall in,

-and at 6:45 o’clock marched out of the timber into the

-open field, and moved forward a short distance, when

-the men unslung knapsacks and other equipage and,

-reduced to light marching order, advanced by the right

-flank, and when near the rebel position came into line

-on the double quick. While doing so we were obliged

-to pass a board fence; and at this critical time the rebels

-opened a heavy fire of musketry, but the regiment

-moved steadily forward and took position in the open

-field. The rebels in front of our right wing were behind

-a strong post and rail fence.</p>

-

-<p>From the base of the mountain to the Shenandoah

-river was about one-half mile. The extreme left of our

-line extended into the timber and near the base of the

-mountain with the right flank extending to the river.

-The Fifth, Sixty-sixth and Seventh Ohio regiments were

-on our left, and the Seventh Virginia, Seventh, Thirteenth

-and Fourteenth Indiana on our right. The Twenty-ninth

-being about the right center regiment during the

-battle, and at this time in support of Huntington’s battery,

-which was belching forth its shot and shell, doing

-deadly execution in the ranks of the advancing rebels.

-When in close range the rebels charged. Reserving our<span class="pagenum" id="Page_47">[47]</span>

-fire until they were almost upon us, the order was given,

-and with a yell the entire line poured its leaden hail

-into the gray clad columns of the chivalry, producing

-fearful slaughter, and following with a charge so impetuous

-that they were forced to retire from their secure position

-behind the fence, and here, for more than three

-hours and a half, our brave fellows, though outnumbered

-ten to one by the enemy and fighting against fate, kept

-them at bay and held the position. During this charge

-it is said that Allen Mason, of company C, Twenty-ninth

-regiment, captured the colors of the Seventh

-Louisiana Tigers, and Lieutenant Gregory and a part of

-company F made prisoners of twenty-five of the same

-regiment. At last the little handful, who had so gallantly

-contended against such fearful odds, were forced

-to retire. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved to the rear,

-perhaps an eighth of a mile, and came to a halt, holding

-the rebel forces in check until the entire Union forces

-had passed to the rear. In the meantime the rebels had

-opened fire upon us with a battery at close range, which

-did fearful execution in our rapidly decimating ranks.

-When all our troops had passed, our regiment faced to

-the right and moved obliquely into the timber; the rebels

-in the meantime passed down the road and we were

-nearly surrounded, and now, for a distance of nearly

-two miles occurred a desperate struggle for freedom.

-The men fought with the desperation born of despair.

-Brave old Colonel Buckley (who before beginning the

-day’s business addressed the regiment, saying: “Aim

-low, men, and at every shot let a traitor fall!”) on

-foot, his own and one other horse having been disabled

-by a shot, rallied the men, and with sword in hand with

-them succeeded in cutting their way through the cordon

-of gray devils almost surrounding them, and escaped to<span class="pagenum" id="Page_48">[48]</span>

-the mountains near, where some one hundred men of the

-different regiments of the Third brigade, with Colonel

-Buckley at their head, bivouacked for the night. The

-small remainder of the regiment, except those killed,

-wounded or captured, succeeded in reaching the main

-army. Captain Baldwin says that those who reached the

-main army of the Twenty-ninth regiment numbered only

-thirteen officers and men.</p>

-

-<p>The night succeeding this eventful day of blood and

-carnage was spent amid the gloom and darkness of the

-forest. The men gathered about their brave commander

-as if to shield him from the damps of night, their

-thoughts turning meanwhile to the absent comrades,

-many of whom, how many they knew not, were lying,

-still and ghastly, upon the bloody field, a sacrifice to the

-incompetency of the general commanding. The day

-following, the little band began its weary march to the

-rear, seeking shelter at night in some unused furnace

-buildings. The next day they came in sight of the rear

-guard of the retreating army, where they found the small

-remnant of the Twenty-ninth, who had escaped death or

-capture, and who, when they saw their beloved colonel

-alive and well, fairly rent the very heavens above with

-their glad shouts of welcome.</p>

-

-<p>The number of the Union army engaged in this battle

-was some twenty-five hundred, and could form but one

-line of battle, while Stonewall Jackson’s official report

-shows his army to have numbered some <em>thirty-four thousand</em>.

-The Twenty-ninth regiment lost heavily in this

-battle. The aggregate was: Killed, 12; wounded, 33;

-captured, 105; total, 150.</p>

-

-<p>After the battle the Twenty-ninth regiment moved

-down the valley to Luray, where the command encamped

-for a few days’ rest, then forward to Front Royal, and on<span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">[49]</span>

-to Alexandria, reaching that point on June 27th, encamping

-on a rise of ground immediately adjacent to

-the line of fortifications. The Third brigade was now

-composed of the Seventh, Fifth, Sixty-sixth, and Twenty-ninth

-Ohio regiments, in the order named. General

-Shields having resigned by reason of McDowell’s misrepresentations

-in relation to the ill-advised battle of

-Port Republic, General Sturgis, who has recently received

-so much adverse criticism through the press of

-the country, for his brutal and inhuman treatment of his

-men, was placed temporarily in command. After lying

-at this point for nearly one month orders were received

-to move to the aid of General McClellan on the Peninsula,

-and we embarked on transports, but the order

-was countermanded and the Third brigade marched

-back to its old camp.</p>

-

-<p>July 25th we were ordered to join the force of General

-Pope, then marching via Warrenton to the Rapidan

-river. Proceeding by rail to the former point the brigade

-was reorganized and attached to Banks’ Second

-corps, afterwards changed to the Twelfth army corps, as

-the First brigade of General Augur’s Second division.

-After a few days of “masterly inactivity” we marched

-in the direction of Luray. Debouching to the left on

-the road leading southward toward the Rapidan, we soon

-reached Little Washington and went into camp. While

-here the troops were reviewed by Generals Pope and

-Banks, who complimented our brigade very highly upon

-its perfection in drill and discipline. General Tyler was

-here ordered to Washington, and Brigadier-general John

-W. Geary, late colonel of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania

-infantry volunteers, was placed in command of our

-brigade. His regiment and Knapp’s battery were also<span class="pagenum" id="Page_50">[50]</span>

-assigned to the brigade. A forward movement in the

-direction of Culpeper Court House, Virginia (on the

-Rapidan), was begun on August 8th. Here the Confederates

-were preparing defences, and at Cedar Mountain,

-some seven miles to the southwest of our position,

-they were strongly fortified.</p>

-

-<p>August 8th, the regiment moved at 2 o’clock, advanced

-to Culpeper Court House, and went into camp; and

-at 10:40, on the morning of August 9th, moved forward

-in the direction of Cedar mountain. Halted a short

-time, and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment was

-sent to the right on an eminence as signal guard. The

-remainder of the brigade soon advanced, halting at

-intervals, as the day was insufferably hot (several men

-died this day of sunstroke). At last, passing through a

-piece of timber, we approached the open field with a

-rolling country in our front, and at 1:30, while making

-preparations for dinner (near a fine spring of water),

-skirmishing and artillery firing was heard on our right,

-which continued at intervals until 3:45, when the rebels

-appeared in heavy force, ready for battle, and the Union

-lines were formed without delay. The Twenty-ninth

-regiment (commanded by Captain W. F. Stevens, of

-Company B,) was ordered to advance and take position

-in rear of a battery which had been placed on a ridge.

-Here the regiment took position, the right resting on

-the road, and the left extending into the field, covered

-from the enemy by the hill on which the battery

-was placed. The Twenty-ninth, with other regiments of

-the brigade, was about on the right of the left wing of

-the line in open field, while the right wing extended

-across the road, and into the timber. The regiment<span class="pagenum" id="Page_52">[52]</span>

-remained in this position, supporting the battery, and

-receiving a heavy fire from the rebel artillery in our front.

-Here several men were wounded.</p>

-

-<p>At 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, we moved over the crest of the

-hill, to a cornfield some distance in advance of our previous

-position. During the advance to this new position

-a terrific cannonade opened on us, dealing great destruction

-to our ranks. Apparently every cannon of the

-enemy was let loose against us, but we never faltered in

-this march of death, despite the terrible missiles that

-were tearing through our bleeding ranks. Comrades

-were falling, and brothers dying. The mangled and

-bleeding victims of the fury and violence of war were left

-thick around us, making the ground sacred on which

-they fell; but we wavered not. Reaching a low piece

-of ground, we halted, and were ordered to lie down

-and continue firing. We remained for one hour in the

-open field, exposed to this furious storm of grape and

-canister, shot and shell. Comrades gave up their lives

-so gently that it was scarce possible to tell the living

-from the dead. The fatal missile struck the victim,

-leaving the lifeless clay in the same attitude which the

-living body occupied. During the fatal period death

-assumed a real character while life seemed but a dream.

-The engagement had now become general. The brigade

-of General Prince came up, and formed on the left of

-our regiment. The Sixty-sixth, Fifth, and Seventh Ohio

-regiments were formed on our right, in the order named.

-(The Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment was not with

-us in this engagement.)</p>

-

-<p>At a given signal the brigade arose and, with defiant

-yells, rushed forward to the charge. Prince’s brigade on

-the left moved forward with us. A sheet of flame and

-smoke burst forth from rebel batteries, musketry replied<span class="pagenum" id="Page_53">[53]</span>

-to musketry, bayonet clashed with bayonet, and cheers

-rang out against cheers, as one side or the other gained

-the advantage in this deadly conflict. Daring warmed

-into rashness, and bravery into recklessness. Hurrah!

-we force them back, their line is broken, a battery is

-almost within our grasp; when in this moment of seeming

-certain victory, fresh columns of rebel infantry rush

-upon us on the double-quick, masked batteries open on

-us at the same moment a most furious enfilading fire,

-causing our brave boys to reel and stagger. An

-order comes for us to retire, when three-fourths of our

-regiment have been placed out of the fight&mdash;dead or

-wounded. Slowly and sadly the remaining few obey the

-order, keeping our faces to the foe until fresh troops

-arrive to take our places, when we resume our position

-in the reserve near Telegraph hill. Each regiment of

-the brigade had done nobly, but all alike had suffered

-a loss so great that the four regiments together could

-not show a respectable facing front for one regiment.

-As night settled over the field of carnage and of death

-our entire army corps withdrew to the position it held

-early in the day, but our artillery kept up a desultory

-firing, with but short intervals during the night.</p>

-

-<p>The casualties of this battle were: Killed, 11;

-wounded, 26; missing, 12. Total, 49.</p>

-

-<p>Private George Williams, company F, came off the

-field with his third gun&mdash;two having been shot from his

-hands.</p>

-

-<p>During August 10th and 11th skirmishing continued.

-In the afternoon of the last-named day the 29th regiment

-was inspected. Adjutant Storer reported eighty-three

-men only present for duty.</p>

-

-<p>The Union army remained on the field three days,

-retiring, on August 12th, to Culpeper Court House,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_54">[54]</span>

-where it encamped. Our pickets, going over the battle

-field on the 13th, reported that dead horses were piled

-in promiscuous positions; dismounted cannons, wrecked

-caissons, and broken firearms were everywhere, while

-the graves of the fallen, singly and in trenches, were

-scattered over the entire field, only the freshly heaped

-up earth marking the spots. In one spot were the

-unburied bodies of a boy in blue and one in gray, their

-arms interlocked as their brave souls went out to the

-God who gave them, the one for the right, the other, it

-is hoped, forgiven for his misguided championship of

-the wrong.</p>

-of eleven miles, and went into camp. Had only

-a small quantity of green corn to eat. 20th, all quiet in

-camp. 21st, at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> firing began, and was kept up

-along the line all day; at 7 in the evening the regiment,

-regiment again fell in, and marched till 12 at noon without

-two miles, halted, stacked arms, and remained up nearly<span class="pagenum" id="Page_55">[55]</span>

-remained on our arms all day; at 10 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>

-moved a short distance up the river, and the Twenty-ninth

-went on picket. 24th, and all is quiet; at 9:30

-<span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the artillery commenced firing, which was kept up

-continually during the day. 25th, artillery and musketry

-firing all along the line; at 8 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the Twenty-ninth

-with its brigade moved up the river four miles and

-camped for the night. 26th, no rations for breakfast,

-but after a short time some green corn was procured,

-which filled the bill. At 8 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the artillery dueling again

-commenced and was kept up the remainder of the day.

-The Twenty-ninth regiment moved one-half mile for

-shelter, remained here until 9 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when it marched

-forward until 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, of the 27th; halted, moved

-forward a distance of three miles, and again halted. At

-1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, moved in the direction of Warrenton

-Junction, and camped for the night (no rations for supper

-or breakfast). On the morning of the 28th day of

-August, the regiment moved at 5 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, marched three

-miles and halted, drew rations and moved on in the

-direction of Bristow station, and camped for the night.

-Heavy firing in our advance all day. 29th, remained in

-camp, about two miles above Bristow station. 30th,

-marched at 6 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> and halted at Bristow station,

-and remained till 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when the enemy was

-reported in our rear. The sick and disabled were moved

-to Alexandria and other points. August 31st, teams and

-trains containing camp and garrison equipage and other

-army supplies, were moved in the direction of Fairfax

-Court House.</p>

-

-<p>During the campaign under Major-general Pope from<span class="pagenum" id="Page_56">[56]</span>

-August 20th until the regiment reached Alexandria on

-the 2d day of September, 1862, it was one continuous

-march and counter-march, by day and night, moving up

-the Rappahannock as far as White Sulphur Springs. On

-the 29th and 30th of August near the Bull Run battle

-ground. A very hard battle was fought, in which the

-Nationals were forced from the field, and again late in

-the afternoon on the 1st day of September at Chantilly,

-a short distance from Fairfax Court House, a sanguinary

-battle was fought, which continued late in the evening.

-In this last engagement the Nationals held the field at

-night, and on the 2d the Union army fell back within

-the fortifications around Washington city. During the

-last two or three days of the above campaign the Twenty-ninth

-regiment was completely cut off from the main

-army, as it had been ordered to guard the quartermaster

-stores with other government property on the railroad

-at and near Bristow station, and when ordered to join its

-brigade it found the enemy in the rear, so that it was

-only by a circuitous route in the direction of Brintsville,

-and a forced march that it reached the Chantilly battlefield

-during the engagement, on September 1st.

-Here it bivouacked for the night, and on the following

-day marched to Arlington heights, via Alexandria, where

-it went into camp.</p>

-

-<p>During the last twelve days of the campaign the

-Twenty-ninth suffered severely for rations and rest, it

-being on the march, under fire, and on the skirmish line

-the entire time. When we reached Fairfax station, on

-the platform of the depot we found an immense table

-upon which our wounded boys were being subjected to

-the ofttimes bungling butchery of ignorant alleged

-surgeons, a number of whom were busily engaged in

-depriving the poor fellows under their charge of wounded<span class="pagenum" id="Page_57">[57]</span>

-legs and arms, and in many cases hastening their death

-thereby. This worse than murder by men, the majority

-of whom, when at home, had never even witnessed a

-capital operation, cannot be too highly condemned.

-(The writer is personally acquainted with professional

-men of this sort, who came out of the service first-class

-carvers, but the number of brave fellows sacrificed to

-bring about this state of proficiency is unknown.) It

-was now ascertained that the Confederate army of

-General Lee was making rapid marches towards Maryland.

-To checkmate this movement our columns were

-at once ordered on a retrograde movement in the direction

-of Washington. Reaching Alexandria, we passed

-up the Potomac, crossing at the long bridge, and moving

-forward to Georgetown where a halt of one day was

-made, the command departing the following morning

-for Frederick City, Maryland, which was said to be occupied

-by the rebels. A day’s march brought us beyond

-Rockville, Maryland, where we encamped for the night.

-At 2 o’clock, on the afternoon of September 5th, the

-regiment marched to Monocacy Junction, where the

-rebels had a short time previous destroyed the railroad

-bridge.</p>

-

-<p>The regiment remained at Monocacy junction, guarding

-the immense supply trains which had accumulated

-here by reason of the burned bridge. Sergeant Baldwin

-relates that a lot of rebel prisoners passed Monocacy

-bridge, one of whom claimed to have fired seven

-shots at Colonel Buckley at the battle of Port Republic,

-but without effect. About September 13th, the bridge

-having been replaced, we moved on to Frederick city,

-Maryland. Here we engaged in camp, picket, and provost

-duty, and a large number of the men were detailed

-to care for the wounded from the battlefields of South

-Mountain and Antietam, September 14th and 17th.</p>

-

-<p>In the meantime we were joined by a large number of

-recruits, amongst which was a brigade cornet band, composed

-of the following members: George Shaw, leader;

-Everett Shaw, assistant leader; J. G. Caskey, Jacob

-Koplin, Sylvanus Hile, Columbus Ferguson, N. G.

-Hartman, Christian Hardag, William Kurtz, George

-Snyder, George Turney, Micajah Rice, Bennett Wadsworth,

-Edward White, Frank Waltz, Eli Waltz; Gurley

-G. Crane, drum major.</p>

-

-<p>November 25th, Colonel Clark says: “Patiently

-waiting in camp. ‘Dress parade’ to-day, the first many

-of us have seen since May last. Only about two hundred

-men in line. Remembering how far our line

-reached at Camp Giddings, our force looks small indeed.”</p>

-

-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_59">[59]</span></p>

-

-<p>November 27th. “Cold and raw. A fierce gale

-makes our canvas houses rock like cradles. We are

-now having an easy time; that is all but the men and the

-mules. Our men go on duty every other day. As to

-rations, don’t think any of us will get the gout.”</p>

-

-<p>November 27th. “Thanksgiving.&mdash;‘Distance lends

-enchantment,’ etc., to turkeys, chickens, pies, and fixin’s

-that make good cheer at home. Well, some of us

-are thankful&mdash;that we are here instead of being locked

-up in those dirty rebel prisons. Nine of our officers and

-a large number of our men have just been released.

-This inactivity is irksome to the volunteer who has

-business at home needing his attention. We hardly

-think Burnside will reach Richmond via Fredericksburg

-unless he goes as some of us did&mdash;as prisoners.”</p>

-

-<p>On the 10th day of December, 1862, the regiment

-struck tents at Frederick City, Maryland, and moved by

-cars in the direction of Harper’s Ferry. At Sandy

-Hook a halt was made for the night; slept in freight

-cars; suffered severely from cold. The following day

-marched at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> About noon crossed the Potomac

-and Shenandoah rivers into Virginia; marched about nine

-miles and camped for the night. Twelfth, marched at 3

-<span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> some nine miles and went into camp. Thirteenth,

-moved at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, marched twelve miles, halted for dinner,

-passed through Leesburg, and camped for the night.

-Fourteenth, marched at sunrise, passed through Fairfax

-Court House to the station, where we encamped.

-Fifteenth, marched till about 4 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, crossed Broad run

-and encamped for the night. Sixteenth, marched four

-miles in rain, snow, and mud; at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> halted for dinner;

-had a fight with a Pennsylvania regiment over some

-rails that had been collected from the fence. These we

-used for wood occasionally in preparing our meals.</p>

-

-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_60">[60]</span></p>

-

-<p>[It] is perhaps unnecessary to mention that the Twenty-ninth

-boys enjoyed good fires to-day. In the afternoon

-the Twenty-ninth went on picket one mile to the rear.

-Seventeenth, brigade counter-marched to Fairfax station,

-where it remained until the 19th, when it moved southeast

-about one and one-half miles to an orchard, where

-it encamped, and where it remained until the 27th,

-when it marched at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>; reached Broad run

-late in the evening. On the hill on the south side of

-the creek was a fort occupied by rebels; the Twenty-ninth

-crossed the creek, halted, loaded their guns, and

-advanced, and a red-hot little skirmish ensued at the

-close of which the rebels fell back. We went into the

-fort, sending two companies out in the road leading

-towards Dumfries as skirmishers. The regiment remained

-on arms all night; cold and frosty. Guns are

-not very warm bed-fellows. Twenty-eighth, marched at

-7:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, Twenty-ninth in advance of division. About

-10 o’clock met some rebel cavalry; the Twenty-ninth

-regiment deployed into line of battle, a few shots were

-fired, and the rebels fell back. One man wounded in

-company A. While in this position Generals Slocum,

-Geary, and Green came up; a battery was soon in position

-which sent a few shots after the retreating rebel

-cavalry. In the afternoon marched through the woods

-on right of road, in line of battle, while the division

-moved in the road; skirmishing the balance of the day.

-At dark we halted three miles from Dumfries and

-camped for the night. Twenty-ninth, reached Dumfries’

-about 10 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and went into camp on the side

-hill in the woods north of town.</p>

-

-<p>January 1, 1863, the regiment and its brigade remained

-at Dumfries, doing camp and picket duty, until

-January 16th, when it was ordered to march on two<span class="pagenum" id="Page_61">[61]</span>

-hours’ notice, did not march. On the 17th and 18th

-nothing transpired worthy of note. On the 19th the

-regiment passed in grand review by Colonel Charles

-Canby, of the Sixty-sixth Ohio infantry. January 27th,

-General Geary visited the regiment while on parade, and

-complimented us on our discipline, neat appearance, and

-soldierly deportment. February 2nd, Colonel L. P.

-Buckley, Adjutant T. S. Winship, Captain E. Burridge

-and Lieutenant Gregory, of company F, resigned and

-went home. Lieutenant J. B. Storer was made adjutant,

-and Sergeant H. R. Baldwin, of company F, promoted

-to captain. February 3d, Companies D and I

-were detached at Dumfries landing, on the Potomac,

-about four miles from camp, doing guard duty, unloading

-army supplies from boats, and loading the Second

-Division trains.</p>

-

-<p>On the 14th some musketry firing was heard in the

-direction of Brentsville.</p>

-

-<p>March 9th, Eli Waltz, of Company D, and a member

-of the brigade band, died.</p>

-

-<p>April 16th, Companies D and I moved from the landing,

-and joined the regiment.</p>

-

-<p>From the 29th day of December, 1862, the time when

-the Twenty-ninth regiment entered Dumfries, its duties

-were severe; the line of pickets was over three miles

-long, and over one mile from camp; and as the rebel

-cavalry were hovering around, the main roads entering

-Dumfries, were patroled at night. Our men suffered

-severely from cold and the protracted storms. In the

-meantime five companies were added to the brigade.

-The Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania originally had fifteen

-companies; five companies were added to the new recruits,

-and designated the One Hundred and Forty-seventh

-Pennsylvania, with Ario Pardee as colonel. Our<span class="pagenum" id="Page_62">[62]</span>

-first brigade now consists of the Twenty-ninth, Seventh,

-Fifth, and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments, and Twenty-eighth

-and One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania.</p>

-

-<p>The suffering our men endured during our stay at

-Dumfries from inclemency of the weather, the arduous

-service, and the scarcity of almost every necessity,

-cannot be easily over-estimated, and it might with propriety

-go into history as a counterpart of that much

-written about, and extensively illustrated affair “Washington

-at Valley Forge.”</p>

-

-<p>About the 20th day of April, 1863, with Colonel

-Clark in command, the Twenty-ninth regiment, with its

-brigade, left Dumfries, Virginia, and marched to Aqua

-creek, which place it reached two days later, and encamped

-about one mile from the Potomac river. Aqua

-creek is sixty miles below Washington on the river; it

-was used as a base for supplies, and a field hospital was

-soon established. The regiment with its brigade remained

-at this place performing the usual camp and garrison

-duty, building forts and, at the same time, doing its

-full share of picket duty. We are encamped on the hill

-overlooking the Potomac. To the north and west is a

-fine rolling country partly covered with pine timber and

-tangled undergrowth. All was quiet until orders were

-received to march; then what a bustle; haversacks were

-filled, each soldier furnished with sixty rounds of ammunition,

-and preparations made for “business.” At 7

-o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on the 27th day of April, the regiment fell

-into line and moved forward on the road leading to

-Kelleys ford via Stafford Court House and Hartwood

-church, reaching the Rappahannock river at Kelley’s

-ford late in the afternoon. The enemy was found in

-small force on the south bank of the river. Late in the

-evening the Sixty-sixth Ohio regiment crossed the river<span class="pagenum" id="Page_63">[63]</span>

-in a small boat capable of carrying but one company at

-a time. The regiment deployed as skirmishers, holding

-the enemy back until the division had all crossed when

-we bivouacked for the night. The next morning we

-marched at 5:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, the Twenty-ninth regiment in

-advance; passed through a low, level country, with

-heavy timber; halted at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> for dinner at a fine residence

-on a large plantation; fell in at 1:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> and

-moved in an easterly direction, reaching the Rapidan

-river late in the afternoon. The bridge had been destroyed,

-so that a crossing was not effected until in the

-evening, after which the Twenty-ninth camped for the

-night. 29th instant,&mdash;marched at 7:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> on the

-direct road to Chancellorsville. About 10 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>

-General Slocum came up and orders were received for

-the Twenty-ninth regiment to send out a line of skirmishers

-on the right of the road, which was done, the

-regiment passing through an open field and entering

-the timber, forcing the enemy back; marched on the

-flank through the woods and thick undergrowth for

-several miles, were then ordered to join the brigade.

-We reached Chancellorsville late in the afternoon of

-April 30th, where we found a small force of Confederate

-soldiers who were engaged in throwing up earthworks

-near the Chancellor house, at a point where the

-roads crossed, one leading to the United States ford,

-and the other to Fredericksburg. The Twenty-ninth

-regiment, with its brigade and division, were the first

-Union soldiers to enter the place. A number of prisoners

-were taken, and late in the evening the Twenty-ninth

-moved a short distance southwest from the main road

-and the Chancellor house into a piece of timber and

-bivouacked for the night.</p>

-

-<p>The morning of May 1st dawned upon a scene of bustle

-and active preparation for the bloody work which was

-to follow. Troops had been arriving during the entire

-night from the direction of the United States ford, and

-the light of early morning revealed an almost solid mass

-of blue-coated soldiers filling the open fields and woods

-in the vicinity of the Chancellor house. They were

-mainly from the Fifth, Eleventh, and Twelfth corps. At

-about 8 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the Twenty-ninth, with its brigade

-and division, made a reconnoissance in force, and after

-marching about one-half mile the division formed in

-line of battle, and in this position was moved about the

-field until afternoon, when the lines were generally

-moved to the east through the timber, the right resting

-on the road. Moving perhaps half a mile we found

-the enemy in strong force, his artillery masked in

-the road. During this time some skirmishing and

-artillery firing was indulged in, and several of the

-Twenty-ninth were wounded. Late in the afternoon we

-moved to the rear under a heavy fire from the rebel

-artillery. Reaching the place we had left in the morning

-we set to work throwing up breastworks. The rebels

-advanced and our skirmishers kept up a rattling fire

-all night, while the regiment worked like beavers preparing

-the works for the coming conflict. The Second<span class="pagenum" id="Page_65">[65]</span>

-division, commanded by John W. Geary, occupied about

-the left center in the order of battle.</p>

-

-<p>During the evening of May 1st the Confederate army

-were charging the right of our lines, and for four hours

-the artillery firing on both sides was terrific. It continued

-at intervals the entire night. The air was ablaze

-and full of deadly missiles dealing destruction all around

-us; the earth trembled under our feet; the rattle and

-roar of artillery was like continued bursts of thunder.

-The heavens seemed on fire, revealing the deadly strife

-of two grand armies locked in close embrace, fighting

-with desperate valor. The dense smoke was lightened

-by rapid flashes of artillery, the bursting of shell, and the

-unceasing discharges of musketry, making a scene grand

-and terrible in the extreme. At midnight this deadly

-combat ceased, the death-like stillness which succeeded

-being broken only by the cries of the wounded and the

-dying comrades so recently beside us in deadly combat.

-About 1 o’clock at night pickets were posted forty yards

-from the main line. We were so near the rebel pickets

-we could hear every movement. Here we lay flat on

-the ground watching for demonstrations of the enemy

-until the dawning of another day of blood and death.

-In the first flush of early morning the rebels advanced

-with columns <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">en masse</i> and at once opened fire on us.

-This we returned and then quickly retired under a storm

-of leaden hail. Leaping over the rifle-pits we soon

-rejoined the command.</p>

-

-<p>The Twenty-ninth regiment now moved in a southwesterly

-direction along the line of works a short distance,

-in support of a New York regiment. While supporting

-this regiment the Twenty-ninth was under artillery fire

-from the right flank. Colonel Clark was struck by a

-shell, and rendered unconscious nearly two hours. The<span class="pagenum" id="Page_66">[66]</span>

-regiment again moved into its old position on the road

-south of the Chancellorsville house, where it remained

-under heavy fire of artillery and musketry, and in the

-afternoon our right flank was turned, and the Union

-army was soon forced back in the direction of the river,

-at Banks’ ford. When the Twenty-ninth fell back the

-rebels were in possession of the Chancellor house, and

-there were not one hundred Union soldiers in sight.

-The army fell back about one mile and a half, filling the

-woods and the road leading to Banks’ ford. Here it

-took a strong position and threw up a line of works and

-remained until May 6th, when, after being on arms all

-night, it marched at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, crossed the river at Banks’

-ford, and camped for the night.</p>

-

-<p>During the three days’ fight the Twenty-ninth regiment

-lost quite heavily; the killed were four, wounded

-forty-two, and prisoners twenty-five.</p>

-

-<p>In this action the rebel loss was officially reported in

-killed, wounded, and missing, as upward of 10,000 men,

-while the Union loss was about the same. The rebel

-loss in killed and wounded was greater than ours, in

-addition to which they lost one of their ablest generals.</p>

-

-<p>May 7th, marched at 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> It rained hard all

-day. We passed Hartwood church, Staffordshire, and

-went into camp near Aqua creek, and here it remained

-until June 3d, when the regiment moved to the south

-about one mile, and engaged in the construction of two

-small forts.</p>

-

-<p>Early on the morning of June 13th, we received orders

-to march. Tents were struck, but it was not until late

-in the afternoon that we moved, and then marched during

-the whole night, reaching Dumfries after daylight on

-the morning of the 14th.</p>

-

-<p>15th, march at 4 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> Halted on the north bank of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_67">[67]</span>

-the Occoquan creek for dinner. Resuming the march

-in the afternoon we passed Fairfax station and Court

-House on the road leading to Leesburg (marched

-twenty-five miles). This was a march of much suffering

-to the men, several of whom died during the day from

-sunstrokes.</p>

-

-<p>16th. Remained in camp all day.</p>

-

-<p>17th. March in the direction of Leesburg. Halted

-at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span>, and camped for the night.</p>

-

-<p>June 18th. Marched to near Leesburg and went into

-camp. <em>Oh! How it rains!</em></p>

-

-<p>19th. Remained in camp cleaning up guns and equipage,

-and all is quiet. In the afternoon the Twelfth

-army corps were ordered out to witness the shooting

-of three deserters from the First division of the Twelfth

-army corps. Following are the names: William McKee,

-company A, Forty-sixth Pennsylvania; Christopher

-Krumbart, company A, Forty-sixth Pennsylvania; and

-William Grover, company B, Thirteenth New Jersey.

-Lieutenant-colonel Clark left us here badly broken

-down in health.</p>

-

-21st and 22d in camp. 23d, 24th and 25th,

-Captain Schoonover, in charge of one hundred and

-twenty men from the brigade, felling timber, uncovering

-Ball’s Bluff in front of Fort Beauregard.</p>

-

-<p>26th. The regiment left Leesburg, crossing the Potomac

-at Edward’s Ferry, passed Poolsville, and encamped

-for the night at Monocacy aqueduct.</p>

-

-<p>27th. Moved at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> by way of Point of Rocks,

-Petersville and Parkersburg, and camped for the night

-five miles from Harper’s Ferry.</p>

-

-<p>28th. Moved in the forenoon, passing through Harper’s

-Ferry, then up the tow path of the Baltimore &amp;<span class="pagenum" id="Page_68">[68]</span>

-Ohio canal to Clear Springs, where the Twenty-ninth

-passed under the canal through a culvert, and moving in

-the direction of Frederick City, Maryland, went into

-camp.</p>

-

-<p>29th. Moved through Frederick City in the direction

-of Pennsylvania, and went into camp. General

-Hooker was relieved from command of the Army of the

-Potomac, and General George G. Mead placed in command.</p>

-

-<p>30th. Moved north into Pennsylvania, and late in

-the afternoon reached Littlestown, where we had a skirmish

-

-<p>July 1, 1863, the Twenty-ninth regiment, under command

-of Captain Edward Hayes, marched at 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>,

-passed through Littletown and on towards Gettysburg.

-After moving some five miles, we halted, and while

-preparing for dinner, first heard the distant artillery firing

-which seemed to be many miles away.</p>

-

-<p>While resting, troops were passing to the front.

-Meanwhile some of Company H had advanced to an

-eminence, from which they soon returned, reporting that

-the cannonading was not far off, as they could plainly

-see the shells as they burst above the timber. We were

-soon on the march, halting occasionally to breathe, as it

-was excessively hot and dusty. When about two miles

-from Gettysburg, we met ambulances returning with the

-wounded of the First and Eleventh corps, which had

-been engaged. Advancing a short distance, we found

-still further evidence of the fight in the bodies of those

-who had been killed in battle, and left beside the road.

-Late in the afternoon the Twenty-ninth reached the

-Union lines near Seminary Hill, and here batteries were

-in position. The troops were moving, and the rapid

-forming of lines gave evidence that a <em>battle</em> was <em>nigh</em>.</p>

-

-<p>The Twenty-ninth regiment filed to the left of the pike,

-and advancing about forty rods, took a position in a

-wheat field, in line of battle, and here remained on arms

-during the night.</p>

-

-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_70">[70]</span></p>

-

-<p>During the day (July 1st) the First corps, commanded

-by General J. F. Reynolds, had a sharp fight, in which

-Reynolds was killed. The Eleventh corps (Howard’s)

-was also engaged. Late in the afternoon the Nationals

-were pressed back, and took a strong position a short

-distance from Gettysburg, on Seminary Ridge, which

-ended the battle for that day.</p>

-

-<p>During the night we could hear the moving of confederate

-troops and artillery in our front, while at the

-same time the Nationals were coming onto the field, so

-that in the morning of July 2d, the open field and

-woods presented a solid mass of troops, artillery and

-supply trains.</p>

-

-<p>About 8 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, July 2d, the Twenty-ninth

-regiment moved back to the pike, and moved with the

-division to a position in the timber on a hill, near the

-right of the line. Here breastworks were thrown up, and

-skirmishing was almost continuous along the line during

-the forenoon, and until about 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when the

-struggle was renewed on the left, and gradually extended

-to the center. About 6 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, there was a lull on

-the left, and the fight raged with renewed vigor on the

-extreme right and center, with Howard’s Eleventh and

-Slocum’s Twelfth corps. Late in the evening the

-Twenty-ninth, with the brigade, withdrew from the works,

-and moved back about three-fourths of a mile, where it

-remained during the forepart of the night, moving back

-and forth, and constantly skirmishing. The entire army

-appeared to be in motion the greater part of the night.</p>

-

-<p>July 3, 1863, at the dawn of day, the Twenty-ninth,

-with the brigade, moved back to, and took position in

-the works left the night before, and about 4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>

-the conflict was renewed.</p>

-

-<p>The rebels who had possession of our works were<span class="pagenum" id="Page_71">[71]</span>

-quickly driven back, and, fifteen minutes after the first

-gun was fired, the engagement became general along the

-entire line, and for six hours the musketry was one continued

-roll, interspersed at intervals by the crash of the

-artillery. The Twenty-ninth remained in the works except

-when allowed to retire to secure ammunition, clean

-pieces, etc. While thus securing ammunition the rebels

-charged the line on our right, gained possession of the

-works, and were advancing in force, when that gallant

-officer, Colonel Hayes, ordered the Twenty-ninth to fall

-in, fix bayonets, and advance to the charge of the rebels

-in the rifle pits and advancing on our right. The regiment

-made a half wheel to the right and advanced

-double-quick, when the rebels gave way. An eastern

-shore regiment took position next on our right, holding

-the rebels in check. A battery was immediately placed in

-position, a few rounds from which sent the Confederates

-to the rear, leaving their dead and wounded thick about

-our line of works.</p>

-

-<p>The Confederates in our front were Ewell’s corps, including

-our old acquaintance, Stonewall Jackson’s brigade,

-which fought with desperation. The rattle of the

-musketry, which extended from the extreme right to the

-left center of our line, had now become continuous, and

-about 1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> General Lee opened a furious fire

-upon our lines from over one hundred and fifty pieces

-of artillery, to which more than one hundred National

-guns quickly responded; some sixty thousand small arms

-were heard amidst the roar of artillery. This unearthly

-din continued until late in the afternoon, when the firing

-ceased except at intervals, and this continued during

-the entire night.</p>

-

-<p>Brevet Captain George Hayward, of company E, promoted

-for gallant conduct at Chancellorsville, was killed<span class="pagenum" id="Page_72">[72]</span>

-in this fight. He was daring almost to rashness, always

-at the front, unmindful of danger, while his tender

-solicitude for his men endeared him to all who knew

-him, and his death was sincerely regretted. The rebel

-who killed him was concealed in the crevice of the rock

-not more than twenty paces from our line. Upon again

-exposing his person not less than one hundred rifles were

-discharged at him; he sprang backward, a shrill cry

-rang out upon the air, and brave Hayward’s death was

-avenged.</p>

-

-<p>A little further down the hill lay the dead body of

-Major Light, assistant adjutant-general on Ewell’s staff,

-who had perished in the morning assault.</p>

-

-<p>Early on the morning of July 4th the Twenty-ninth

-regiment advanced in reconnoissance over the battlefield,

-and for the first time gained a full knowledge of the

-fearful loss of life the rebels had sustained, full five

-thousand of whom had answered to their last roll-call.

-Still the mystery exists how any rebels escaped, as each

-soldier of the Union army had, in the seven hours’ fight,

-fired two hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition, sufficient

-to have annihilated the entire Southern army.</p>

-

-<p>We moved forward to the base of Culp’s hill, and

-thence left, to the creek near Cemetery hill, on the opposite

-bank of which were posted the gray-coated pickets

-of the enemy. Rebel troops were moving through

-the town, while a force was fortified on Seminary ridge.

-Pickets were thrown out to observe their movements and

-we retired to the main line.</p>

-

-<p>During the day nearly five thousand stand of rebel

-arms were collected from the field, in front of Geary’s

-division alone. Our fallen comrades were tenderly,

-though rudely, transferred to the kindly embrace of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_73">[73]</span>

-mother earth, while the wounded were collected at convenient

-points to receive the necessary treatment.</p>

-

-<p>Whoever has followed the phases of the battle of

-Gettysburg must have been expressed with the stubborn

-valor displayed on both sides by the common soldiers.

-The dauntless resolution exhibited in the attacks made

-it a terribly bloody and destructive conflict, and the

-unyielding and resolute front of the defence brought

-victory. But there was no possibility of achieving on

-either side such sweeping and complete triumphs as are

-recorded of wars in other countries and in other days, in

-a contest between two armies where the common soldiers

-were of such a temper and in such earnest as were these.

-It is a sad spectacle to see the manhood of two claiming

-to be Christian peoples thus march out to a field, like

-trained pugilists, and beat, and gouge, and pummel each

-other until one or the other from exhaustion must yield.

-It is revolting and sickening, and it is hoped that the

-day will come when disputes arising among nations may

-be settled by compromise, as two reasonable and upright

-men would decide a difference, governed by the golden

-rule, instead of resorting to blows where right and justice

-must be subordinate to brute force. But in a great

-battle like that which we have been considering it is not

-the soldiers themselves who are responsible, but the

-parties who make the quarrel. Hence, while the mind

-revolts at the scenes of destruction which the field discloses,

-the immediate actors are not to be held accountable.

-They go in obedience to the dictates of duty and

-of patriotism, and while they may indulge no personal

-hatred toward those who for the time they call enemies,

-they must in battle inflict the greatest possible injury

-upon them. In all ages the highest honors have been

-reserved for those who have fought the battles of their<span class="pagenum" id="Page_74">[74]</span>

-country&mdash;and this is right. For if there is any deed in

-the power of a mortal which can sway the feelings or

-soften the heart it is that of one man laying down his

-life for another. The breast heaves and the eye is suffused

-with tears at the spectacle of Pythias putting his

-life in jeopardy only for his friend. There is a halo of

-glory hovering about the profession of arms. It has its

-seat in the sacrifice of self, which is its ruling spirit.</p>

-

-<p>The man who stands upon the field of battle and faces

-the storm of death that sweeps along, whether he merely

-puts his life thus in jeopardy or is actually carried down

-in death, torn and mangled in the dread fight, is worthy

-of endless honors, and though we class the deed with

-the lowest of human acts, prompted by a hardihood

-which we share with the brutes, and in which the most

-ignorant and besotted may compete with the loftiest, yet

-it is an act before which humanity will ever bow and

-uncover. Who that walked that field of carnage and

-beheld the maimed and mangled, and him cold in death,

-could withhold the tribute of honor and respect? For,

-could he make that dying soldier’s lot his own, or that of

-his nearest and dearest friend, he would only then justly

-realize the sacrifice. Our casualties in the fight were:

-Killed, nine; wounded, thirty-five; missing, one. Total,

-forty-five.</p>

-

-<p>The pursuit of the retreating enemy was commenced

-by the Twelfth army corps at 1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, on July 5th.

-At night we encamped at Littletown, Pennsylvania, and

-on the following morning moved by the way of Frederick

-to Antietam creek. On the 7th instant we marched

-through Frederick, filed to the right, and passed by a

-rebel spy that was hanging to a limb of a tree. We

-moved a short distance, and halted, where we remained

-all night. On the 8th we marched over the mountains

-in the direction of Sharpsburg. On the 9th we passed

-over the battlefield, and camped near Fairplay, Maryland.

-On the 10th we moved through the town, and

-camped for the night near Falling waters. On the following

-day we advanced to Fairplay, a small town to the

-south of St. James’ college, and the Twenty-ninth regiment,

-with its customary good (?) fortune, was thrown out

-as skirmishers, and during the day exchanged frequent

-shots with the enemy’s cavalry, and at night resting in

-position on the extreme front.</p>

-

-<p>During the night rebel cavalry approached very near

-our line, but our orders were positive not to fire unless

-attacked. On the following morning we were relieved

-and retired to the main line, where we assumed position

-as support to Knapp’s battery, which was hotly engaged

-at intervals during the day.</p>

-

-<p>On the morning of the 13th instant we rejoined our<span class="pagenum" id="Page_76">[76]</span>

-brigade, anticipating an attack. Riflepits were thrown up

-and due preparation made. The enemy are strongly

-fortified between St. James’ college and Williamsport,

-some two miles distant, and on the 14th he was reported

-as falling back across the Potomac. Heavy cannonading

-is heard towards the river, and the First division of

-General Williams advances in reconnoissance, the Second

-acting as support. A dispatch states that Lee’s army, in

-full retreat, began crossing the river yesterday, continued

-through the night and to-day. Our troops are hotly engaged

-with his rear guard, and we remain in position

-until the morning of the 18th, when we move briskly forward

-in pursuit of the fleeing chivalry, who were now

-across the Potomac in Virginia. We marched via

-Sharpsburg and Antietam.</p>

-

-<p>While passing through the woods three men were shot

-by Mosby’s cavalry. A march of sixteen miles and we

-halt within three miles of Harper’s Ferry. At Sandy

-Hook we remain until the morning of the 19th instant,

-when we move forward via Harper’s Ferry, to Hillsboro,

-Virginia.</p>

-

-<p>On the following morning we are early on the move,

-advancing as far as Snickersville, near the gap of that

-name, where pickets are thrown out and we bivouac for

-the night. We remain here for two days, during which

-time we muster and pass in review. Colonel W. T.

-Fitch recently promoted, and who has been absent on

-leave since March 28th, joined us here, and assumed

-command.</p>

-

-<p>On the morning of the 23d we again moved forward,

-passing through Upperville and on to Ashby’s gap,

-where, at a late hour, we go into camp. Having marched

-thirty miles since morning sleep was sweet that night,

-with mother earth for a bed, and only heaven’s blue<span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">[77]</span>

-canopy for a cover. At 3 o’clock on the morning of the

-24th we march rapidly forward through the villages of

-Markham and Linden, halting for dinner at Manassas

-gap, then forward, changing direction by column to the

-south-southeast, in the direction of White Plains.

-Marching sixteen miles we halted for the night.</p>

-

-<p>The next day we marched to White Plains, and the

-next by the way of Thoroughfare gap, Haymarket, and

-Greenwich, the latter a pretty little village, settled by

-English people, for whose protection guards were stationed,

-as they were in fact in many instances for the

-protection of rebel property. After a brief halt we

-marched forward via Catlett’s station and Warrenton,

-where we joined the First and Eleventh corps of our

-army and encamped for the night, then forward again to

-Kelley’s Ford, on the Rappahannock, when, after a short

-visit, the brigade took cars for Alexandria, Virginia,

-under orders for New York city, to quell the memorable

-draft riots induced by the Southern sympathizers and

-copperheads.</p>

-

-<p>On August 23d we embarked on the steamer Baltic

-and moved down the Potomac. When near its outlet

-we went fast aground. This action occurred about noon

-on the 24th, and three days elapsed before we were

-again on the move. On the 28th, at 9:45 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, we

-round Cape Henry and strike the swells of the Atlantic.

-A rough sea soon sends many of the command to the

-rail to&mdash;well, if the reader was ever seasick he will appreciate

-the situation. It is not pleasant to linger long

-upon this scene; the recollection of it, even now, almost

-destroys one’s interest in sublunary affairs.</p>

-

-<p>On the 29th we pass the narrows and enter New York

-harbor, coming to anchor near Governor’s Island at 12

-o’clock <span class="allsmcap">M.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_78">[78]</span></span></p>

-

-<p>From our anchorage the view was grandly beautiful

-with the immense shipping, Brooklyn on the right, New

-York to the front, and Jersey City on the left. On the

-left of Governor’s Island Castle William (now used as a

-magazine) stands out in bold relief. To its right is the

-fort which protects the harbor. On September 1st we

-disembarked and went into camp on the island. The

-men are in fine spirits and delighted with the change.</p>

-

-<p>The troubles in the city having subsided we re-embarked

-aboard the Baltic, which, on the 8th day of September,

-heads towards the sea. When passing the narrows

-the guns of the fort thunder a salute; soon Sandy

-Hook is passed and we are again in the open sea, all

-happy at the prospect of going to the front, the inactivity

-of camp life with nothing to do having become tiresome

-in the extreme.</p>

-

-<p>On September 10th we came to anchor in Chesapeake

-Bay, where we remained one day, then passed on again

-to Alexandria, disembarked, and went into camp to the

-south of the town. Two days later and we again move

-forward to Elk creek, where we encamp for the night.</p>

-

-<p>September 16th, marched at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, reached the Rappahannock

-at noon, and here rejoined our old brigade,

-moved forward to Raccoon ford on the north side of the

-Rapidan. General Lee’s forces are massed on the opposite

-shore of the river, and as we came up our ears

-were greeted with the pleasing sound of rapid musketry

-firing proceeding from the pickets of the two armies.

-During the afternoon we witnessed the execution of two

-deserters from the Seventy-eighth New York.</p>

-

-<p>During the last of September we learned of the defeat

-of the Western army at Chickamauga, and the Twelfth

-corps was at once transferred to the Department of the

-West, and without delay proceeded by rail to Washington,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_79">[79]</span>

-and thence via Wheeling, Columbus, Indianapolis,

-Nashville, to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where we arrived

-October 5th.</p>

-

-<p>After a few days’ rest the regiment again resume the

-march, passing Duck river, Bell Buckle, and Wartrace,

-when the Seventh Ohio halted, while the Twenty-ninth

-moved on to Normandy, on the Nashville &amp; Chattanooga

-railroad. Here it remained in camp, with the usual

-routine of camp and picket duty until late in October,

-when the regiment and brigade broke camp, took the

-cars for Bridgeport, Alabama, where it arrived on the

-27th, disembarked, and camped for the night. On the

-morning of October 28th the Twenty-ninth regiment

-crossed the Tennessee river with the wagon train. Halting

-at Shellmound for dinner, marched until late in the

-evening, and halted near White Sides, where all camped

-for the night. About 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> artillery firing,

-

-<p>While at Murfreesboro scouts reported that Wheeler’s

-cavalry was in the vicinity, and the Second division

-(Geary’s) was pushed forward to meet it, the First division

-remaining to guard the post and railway communication.

-Geary moved forward in the direction of Bridgeport,

-encountering Wheeler’s force near the line of the

-railway. A brief but sharp skirmish ensued, which resulted

-in the repulse and hasty retreat of the rebels. We

-then advanced without delay to Bridgeport. October

-27th the Second division, Geary commanding, with

-Creighton and Greene in command of the First and

-Second brigades, crossed the Tennessee, the object to

-open communication on the south side of the river by

-way of Wauhatchie valley and Lookout mountain for the

-relief of General Thomas at Chattanooga.</p>

-

-<p>Brigadier-general Greene, with three regiments of

-infantry and four pieces of Knapp’s battery, numbering

-about fifteen hundred men, with a wagon train of provisions,

-was sent to the relief of the famishing army at

-Chattanooga, the balance of our command following as

-fast as practicable with the immense supply train in

-charge. After we had encamped for the night the signal

-corps of General Greene informed us that his command

-had encamped at Wauhatchie, within six miles of Chattanooga.

-The knoll occupied by them derived its name

-from an Indian battle fought there years before. It is

-situated in the valley not far from the base of Lookout

-mountain. Knapp’s guns were placed in position facing<span class="pagenum" id="Page_81">[81]</span>

-Lookout, and pickets stationed perhaps fifty yards to the

-front.</p>

-

-<p>About midnight General Hood’s division came down

-from the heights of Lookout and quietly surrounded

-General Greene’s small force, and at once commenced

-an attack. Greene’s men, aroused from their slumber,

-hastily formed line under a most deadly fire from all

-sides, and one of the most desperate struggles on record

-ensued. We were awakened by the sound of the distant

-combat, and forming into line hastily advanced to their

-rescue. When we arrived Hood’s rebels had been

-routed and were flying in all directions, intent only on

-reaching their mountain stronghold. There was a regular

-stampede of the mules, which had broken loose and

-were braying furiously. This, with loud shouts from our

-men, must have induced a belief in the valorous rebel

-horde that a large force of cavalry was charging down

-upon them, and their fears and flight was indeed a grand

-burlesque finale to a terrible tragedy.</p>

-

-<p>General Greene had lost one-third of his force, killed

-and wounded, his ammunition was exhausted, and ordering

-the mules cut loose, he made a desperate bayonet

-charge to cut his way to freedom. The mules providentially

-moved in the same direction, mingling the thunder

-of their tread and their awful voices with the shouts of

-Greene’s men, and our own, to let them know that assistance

-was coming. The effect was to throw Hood’s rebel

-army into a wild panic and put them to rout. Three

-hundred prisoners and about one thousand stand of

-arms were captured. Every man of Knapp’s battery,

-save one only, was either killed or wounded. Among

-the former was Lieutenant Geary, son of General John

-W. Geary. The ground was covered with the dead and

-injured of both the blue and the gray.</p>

-

-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">[82]</span></p>

-

-<p>While assisting the wounded and burying the dead,

-Generals Grant, Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective

-staffs, arrived from Chattanooga. The former

-coolly remarked as he surveyed the bloody scene:

-“Well, boys, you must have had a hot time of it, judging

-from appearances.” There was silence among the

-men, who knew that an army was cosily reposing but

-four miles away, which could easily have averted the

-terrible bloodshed, but were so completely disheartened

-by the defeat at Chickamauga that they dare not venture

-from their stronghold to the relief of gallant “Corporal”

-Greene, who happily turned defeat into a heroic victory.</p>

-

-<p>The line of General Geary’s division now extends

-along the foot of Lookout mountain, parallel with the

-rebel line, and only separated from it by the creek along

-its base. For nearly ten days the commissary stores intended

-for us have been largely forwarded to Chattanooga,

-leaving us with scarcely anything to eat. When

-on the skirmish line we often sent our reserves around

-to the right of the mountain to secure corn from a field

-in that location, held by the rebels, and quite lively little

-fights would result. Our boys always returned with

-corn, however, which we parched to allay in part the

-bitter pangs of hunger. As with everything earthly our

-long fast ended, rations came, and life began to seem

-almost worth living, exchanges of coffee and tobacco

-were almost hourly made between the Union and rebel

-soldiers, each forgetting for the time the hate engendered

-over the fight for corn. Our main line was being strongly

-fortified, the rebels meanwhile keeping up an almost

-continuous bombardment of our line from their batteries

-on the heights of Lookout. Strong details were

-employed in cutting away the forest on our front to enable

-our artillery to cover an hourly expected attack.

-The situation remained the same until November 23d,

-when, toward night, the beat of the “long roll” called

-Geary’s division to arms. It at once moved promptly

-forward, formed line of battle, facing Lookout heights,

-and advanced to its base along the creek. Osterhaus’<span class="pagenum" id="Page_85">[85]</span>

-division of the Fifteenth corps, and Whittaker’s brigade,

-of the Fourth corps, now advanced to the left of Geary’s

-division. The rebels soon discovered this movement

-and promptly moved a strong force down the mountain

-side within easy musket range, where they strongly

-fortified during the night.</p>

-

-<p>The morning of November 24th opened out a simultaneous

-discharge of our entire artillery, which was

-parked along the mountain’s point, the infantry on our

-left advancing to the base of the mountain. The First

-brigade, led by Colonel Creighton, and followed by the

-Second and Third brigades, moved rapidly up the creek

-to the right under cover of the woods, then debouching

-to the left. The First brigade took the advance and began

-the ascent of Lookout heights, being favored by a

-friendly ravine extending toward the crest of the mountain.

-The brigade had advanced perhaps two-thirds of

-the distance before the enemy discovered its movements,

-and now the men renew their efforts, driving the enemy

-before them despite the terrible fire poured into our advance,

-and after a desperate struggle reach the rocky

-crest and disappear in a thick mist (referred to by most

-writers, we believe, as clouds, and which gave this engagement

-the title of the “battle above the clouds”).

-The line of the whole division is extended, and in a

-moment sweeps down in an impetuous charge on both

-the rebel flank and rear. Their batteries are reached,

-the cannoniers beaten back, and the guns captured. Onward,

-upward, with loud cheers our columns rush to victory,

-carrying everything before them. A whole brigade

-is captured, and Lookout mountain, since famous in

-song and story, is ours. This victory was won by

-Geary’s men, assisted only by Whittaker’s brigade acting

-as support. The troops below now came gallantly(?) up<span class="pagenum" id="Page_86">[86]</span>

-the mountain to claim, as usual, the honors won, as the

-voluminous reports subsequently written by their generals

-amply attest. Geary and his brigade commanders

-had no reports to make save that their division stormed

-the heights and carried them, capturing the enemy’s

-artillery and the entire rebel force occupying the main

-defenses of the mountain. Some time after the capture

-the standard of the “white star” division was planted on

-the crest and the stars and stripes was soon waving beside

-it. No danger was incurred by this, as none of the

-enemy remained except the prisoners, yet it has been

-written and rewritten as if it were an event of some importance.</p>

-

-<p>“The morning of November 25th revealed the white

-star standard of Geary and the glorious old stars and

-stripes to the army below, floating triumphantly side by

-side on Lookout’s rocky crest. Prolonged huzzas

-greeted the victors from below, and to confirm that ‘to

-the victors belong the spoils,’ a detachment from two

-regiments of Geary’s command take charge of the prisoners,

-seven stand of colors, and a great number of cannon

-captured.”</p>

-

-<p>The rebels had burned the bridge across Lookout

-creek, which delayed our further advance a short time.

-A bridge was soon improvised, however, and a crossing

-was effected. The command moved on to Rossville,

-where it engaged Braggs’ left, while General Thomas, advancing

-from Chattanooga valley, moved up Missionary

-ridge, striking Bragg a crushing blow in the center, and

-Pap Sherman was making it warm for his right flank.

-About 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the firing became general along the

-entire line, which continued until late in the afternoon,

-when the rebels were driven from the field with great<span class="pagenum" id="Page_87">[87]</span>

-loss. The Union army advanced a short distance and

-bivouacked for the night.</p>

-

-<p>November 26, we moved on after the retreating army,

-and at a small creek near Greysville, Georgia, had a

-skirmish, driving the enemy as far as Ringgold and Taylor’s

-ridge, where they were in position behind breastwork

-in the narrow pass extending through the ridge in the

-direction of Dalton.</p>

-

-<p>27th. Geary’s division made a gallant charge upon the

-rebel works. The First brigade, commanded by Colonel

-William R. Creighton, made a direct assault on Taylor’s

-ridge, while the Second and Third brigades engaged the

-rebels in the narrow defile. After a terrible struggle the

-Nationals were forced back a short distance. A battery

-was moved forward and placed in position, which opened

-with double shotted guns upon the enemy, soon driving

-them precipitately to the rear, leaving the Nationals in

-possession of the field. In this engagement the Union

-loss was quite heavy.</p>

-

-<p>On the 28th the army moved back, Geary’s division

-reaching Wauhatchie valley on the 29th. Resting a few

-days, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment broke camp

-and on December 3d moved across Lookout creek,

-marched about two miles west of Summerville, on Lookout

-mountain, where it camped for the night. Returned

-to its old camp at Wauhatchie, Tennessee, on the

-5th day of December, and the campaign of 1863 ended.</p>

-

-<p>At Wauhatchie, on the 10th day of December, 1863,

-the Twenty-ninth Ohio, though now reduced to less

-than three hundred effective men for duty, almost to a

-man re-enlisted for three years more, should the war so

-long continue, and were given a thirty-days’ furlough

-home for the purpose of recruiting. The headquarters

-of the regiment was established at Cleveland, Ohio.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_88">[88]</span>

-It remained here some two months. At last the decimated

-ranks were filled and, on the morning of February

-8, 1864, the regiment bade a second good bye to friends,

-and amidst their prayers for success and a safe return

-departed for the front, determined to die for the flag if

-necessary, and, after a tedious ride of many weary miles

-arrived at Bridgeport, Alabama, via Louisville, Nashville,

-and Murfreesboro, where it went into winter quarters and

-remained until the opening of the spring campaign of

-1864.</p>

-<p class="center"><small>Shelmound&mdash;Wauhatchie Valley&mdash;Ringgold&mdash;Battle of Dug or Mill

-Creek Gap or Buzzard’s Roost&mdash;On the Move.</small></p>

-

-<p>On the morning of May 3, 1864, at 10 o’clock, we

-broke camp, crossed the Tennessee river, and moved

-eastward along its south bank to Shelmound, where we

-encamped for the night. On the following day the march

-was resumed, the column halting for dinner in Wauhatchie

-valley. Crossing Lookout Creek and mountain,

-we encamped for the night on its east side and two miles

-distant from Chattanooga. The column resumed its

-line of march at 7 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on the 5th. Moving cautiously

-during the day, in the advance, it halted for the night a

-short distance west of Ringgold, Georgia. At daybreak

-on the following morning we moved forward, and about

-9 o’clock formed line of battle, remaining here during

-the day and subsequent night. The beat of the “long

-roll” on the following morning called us to arms, and we

-immediately advanced in line of battle. When near

-Gordon’s Springs General Kilpatrick passed to our right

-with his command. Our column came to a halt for the

-night near Tunnel hill.</p>

-

-<p>At about 11 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on May 8th, we pushed forward in

-order of columns right in front, and at 3 o’clock arrived

-in front of John’s Mountain at Rocky Face Ridge, on

-the summit of which the enemy were entrenched in force.

-The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment and Twenty-eighth

-Pennsylvania of the First brigade, Colonel Candy commanding,

-with three regiments of Buschbeck’s Second

-brigade, formed in line, the latter on the right, and in this<span class="pagenum" id="Page_90">[90]</span>

-order at once moved forward to storm the ridge. The

-position of the Twenty-ninth regiment in the assaulting

-column was on the extreme left, the Twenty-eighth

-Pennsylvania next on its right, connecting with the

-Second brigade. Our instructions were to make a strong

-demonstration, and to carry, if possible, the rebel position.

-While advancing to the assault, the brass bands in

-our rear indiscreetly commenced playing National airs,

-which attracted the attention of the rebel commander,

-who rapidly concentrated reinforcements in our front.

-The advance up the declivity was nearly as difficult as

-Lookout Mountain, and more completely fortified. Its

-summit was steep, precipitous, and covered with scraggy

-rocks and immense boulders. From our position we

-commanded a fine view of Dug Gap, a narrow, artificial

-cut through the rocky summit, connecting with a road

-extending almost parallel with the ridge to the gap

-beyond, and by a zigzag course reaching the mountain’s

-base. The rebels had so completely fortified themselves

-that it was next to impossible for our assaulting force to

-get nearer than their base. As we approached the rebel

-line, a regiment was moved by left flank across our front.

-At this moment the rebel line opened a fire so deadly in

-effect that the regiment in our front became disordered

-and broke through our ranks to the rear, causing a momentary

-confusion in the ranks of the Twenty-ninth regiment.

-At this moment the order was given to advance,

-which was executed with a rush despite the deadly volleys

-that were cutting through our ranks. Up! up! we go

-to death or victory! and commenced to scale the obstructions

-close to their works; and now a storm of deadly

-missiles are hurled against us. Rocks, boulders, and

-even cart-wheels come crashing down upon us. Yet we

-moved steadily in the deadly advance until ordered back<span class="pagenum" id="Page_91">[91]</span>

-by our officers, when we retired a few paces to reform

-our line, the fallen trees only separating us from the

-enemy.</p>

-

-<p>Here we made a determined and bloody fight, but

-having no support to cover our flank we were subjected

-to a deadly cross-fire from the left, yet the regiment stubbornly

-stood its ground, returning shot for shot until its

-ammunition was exhausted. More was secured from the

-cartridge-boxes of the dead and wounded, and with this

-we fought on, determined to hold the position until reinforcements

-should reach us. Just before dusk an order

-came from the commanding general for the Twenty-ninth

-regiment to retire, all the other regiments having

-done so some time previous. To cover our retreat a

-line of skirmishers was thrown out, composed of men

-from each company who volunteered for this dangerous

-duty, and right nobly did they perform this work, firing

-with deadly precision as they retired from the field into

-the valley below, where the Twenty-ninth were already in

-bivouac, and comrades cheered lustily as the skirmishers

-came in, happy to know they had not met the fate of

-others.</p>

-

-<p>John Davis, of company B, a Scotchman by birth and

-one of the best shots in the regiment, fired the last shot

-in this day’s action, and was the last to leave the field.</p>

-

-<p>The Twenty-ninth regiment in this fight distinguished

-itself by brave conduct, though at last compelled to

-retire from lack of support. Our losses in killed and

-wounded was more than double that of any other regiment

-engaged: Killed, 26; wounded, 67; captured 1;

-total 94.</p>

-

-<p>General Geary highly complimented the regiment for

-its gallantry, remarking that he never saw men advance

-under such murderous fire, especially when unsupported<span class="pagenum" id="Page_92">[92]</span>

-and where the chances of success were so desperate.

-The Twenty-ninth regiment lost nearly one-third its

-numbers during this three hours’ engagement, and many

-were the individual acts of heroism displayed, which it

-would give the writer pleasure to record. As but few

-are now remembered, the remainder would suffer an injustice

-were these given. It is, however, but simple justice

-to state that the regiment fully sustained its previous

-reputation as a fighting organization, each individual

-doing his full share in the terrible work. Subsequent

-events proved that this assault was made to draw the

-enemy to this point, thus giving McPherson’s corps and

-Kilpatrick’s cavalry an opportunity to possess Snake

-Creek Gap, a desirable situation several miles in our

-right rear, opening a flank movement directly on the enemy’s

-rear.</p>

-

-<p>On May 9th we encamp at Mill Creek, near Johns

-Mountain, where we remain until 12 o’clock, midnight.

-We then move to the right and throw up earthworks.

-May 10th we are still at work. We receive the news of

-General Grant’s victory over General Lee at the Wilderness,

-near Chancellorsville, Virginia, where our regiment

-received such a baptism of blood a little more than a

-year since. Alas! how many of our brave boys have

-gone down to death since then.</p>

-

-<p>May 11th. Still in the same position, hourly expecting

-orders to move; quartermasters remove all extra baggage

-to the rear; all men unable for active service sent to

-hospital, and everything possible put into perfect fighting

-order, and by the way it’s ever so much nicer penning

-these lines here in our cosy room in the far away Western

-Reserve of the Buckeye State than was the actual experience

-in Secessia during those early May days of

-1864.</p>

-

-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_93">[93]</span></p>

-

-<p>On the 12th instant we moved forward to Snake

-Creek Gap, forming a junction with the Fifteenth and

-Sixteenth corps (McPherson’s), where we remained during

-the night. At 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> on the following day

-we advanced toward Resaca, fully occupying Snake

-Creek Gap. Our cavalry are sharply engaged with the

-enemy. Here brave General Kilpatrick is wounded. At

-4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the battle is still raging fiercely, and the

-enemy are being slowly driven back. At last a hill is

-captured which covers the entire rebel line. Here we

-fortify and rest for the night.</p>

-

-<p>May 14th a severe engagement opens near Resaca;

-we advance by a circuitous route to the left; the Fourteenth

-corps is engaged; during the afternoon we

-joined our Twentieth corps and moving rapidly to the

-left; succeeded in rescuing a portion of the Fourth corps

-from disaster and defeat, and one of its batteries from

-certain capture, the infantry support having been driven

-back, leaving the battery at the mercy of the rebels.

-Robinson’s brigade, of Williams’ division, Twentieth

-corps, who were in the advance, fortunately reached the

-scene of action in time to prevent the capture of another

-battery by making a counter-charge on the advancing

-rebel legions. We came up soon after this support,

-which soon ended in the complete repulse of the rebels,

-driving them beyond their fortifications. The Twentieth

-army corps received the compliments of the commanding

-general, Hooker, for their gallant work, which resulted

-in a loss to the enemy of some four hundred men

-killed and wounded.</p>

-

-<p class="center"><small>Battle of Resaca, Georgia&mdash;In Pursuit of the Fleeing Chivalry (?)</small></p>

-

-<p>At an early hour on the morning of May 15th sharp

-skirmishing opened along our entire front. General

-Geary’s Second division moved a short distance to the

-left and halted for orders. About 11 o’clock Generals

-Sherman, Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective

-staffs, reached the battlefield and immediately held a

-council of war. General Hooker is requested to assume

-command of selected troops to take the offensive, and

-is asked how large a force he required to capture a certain

-fort directly in our front, known to be the enemy’s

-stronghold and the key to his position. Hooker astonished

-his superiors by replying: “Geary’s division can,

-I think, carry that position if it can be done by anyone.”

-As this conversation was heard by our men we were prepared

-for what was to follow.</p>

-

-<p>As soon as General Geary had received his instructions,

-the Second division moved to the attack in the

-following orders: Second and Third brigades in the

-advance, with the First brigade closely massed in their

-rear, the latter advancing closely in support of the attacking

-column. Our advance was met with obstinate resistance,

-yet we steadily pushed forward, driving the enemy

-back and gaining possession of three lines of hills in

-rapid succession, the last of which was in close proximity

-to the rebel fort, only a narrow ravine intervening. The

-enemy are strongly entrenched in earthworks extending

-in the rear of the fort. The First brigade commenced<span class="pagenum" id="Page_95">[95]</span>

-a rapid firing at short range to cover the sortie being

-made by regiments of the Second and Third brigades.

-These regiments rush gallantly forward to the assault.

-They are repulsed but quickly reform, and, with other

-regiments sent to their support, they again pass forward.

-The fort was captured and lost three times in succession,

-but at last the rebels are forced to flee before our furious

-charge. Leaving the guns they join the main line.</p>

-

-<p>The Union forces prevented the rebels from again

-occupying the fort until dark, when detachments from

-the Twenty-ninth and other Ohio regiments of the First

-brigade were sent to open a trench through the earthworks

-of the fort through which to move the guns into

-the ravine below. The rebels discovering this charged

-down upon us to recapture the guns. Expecting such

-an attack the First brigade had moved forward into the

-ravine, and now waited the coming of the rebels. When

-close upon them a signal was given, which was followed

-by a sheet of flame along our whole line, dealing terrible

-destruction into the rebel ranks, immediately followed

-by a determined bayonet charge, which threw their

-lines into disorder and they fled panic-stricken over

-their fortifications, closely pursued by our command,

-whose loud huzzas sent Johnston’s army in rapid retreat,

-abandoned all its cannon, hospital, and commissary

-stores, and with their usual savagery leaving their own

-dead and wounded upon the field. We also captured

-many prisoners.</p>

-

-<p>This success was a grand victory for the “white star”

-division of the Twentieth corps, yet not unattended with

-losses, which were, however, light in comparison with

-those of the enemy. In fact, in the night attack we

-had so thoroughly surprised the enemy that but feeble

-resistance was made.</p>

-

-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_96">[96]</span></p>

-

-<p>At an early hour on the morning of May 16th we

-pushed rapidly forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels.

-At 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> we came into line on the bank of the

-Coosa river, near the railroad bridge, which our cavalry

-had prevented the rebels from burning, though they had

-made repeated efforts to do so. The enemy’s flight was

-so rapid that he had not even time to seriously impair

-the railroad track. Our locomotives, with trains of supplies,

-soon came in sight. We now advanced across the

-river and encamped for the night.</p>

-

-<p>At 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> on May 17th, the general forward movement

-of our army was resumed. The Twenty-ninth

-regiment was the advance guard of its division, and

-assisted in driving the rebels from the little village of

-Calhoun, where we halt for the night. At 5 o’clock on

-the following morning we again moved forward in the

-direction of Rome, Georgia. At Rome cross-roads the

-rebels were met and promptly engaged by the Fourth

-corps; a lively fight ensued, resulting in slight losses on

-both sides. The enemy retreated, and we continued the

-pursuit until 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when we encamped for the

-night.</p>

-

-<p>On the next morning at early dawn we pushed forward,

-continuing until 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when we halt and

-form line near Kingston, Georgia. The whole force of

-the enemy are immediately on our front, and the Fourth

-corps promptly open fire upon them, which resulted in a

-further movement of the chivalry to the rear.</p>

-

-<p>We remain here until the morning of May 23d when

-we move about daylight via Cassville and Cass station to

-the Etowah river, which is crossed on pontoons, and a

-halt for the night made on its opposite bank. The next

-morning we resume the weary march, coming into

-line of battle at about 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> We advanced in this<span class="pagenum" id="Page_97">[97]</span>

-order up the Raccoon hills, or Allatoona range, until

-night, when we encamp at Burnt Hickory. The First

-brigade, as advance guard, moved ahead at daybreak,

-via the Burnt Hickory road.</p>

-

-<p class="center"><small>Pumpkin Vine Creek&mdash;Dallas, or New Hope Church&mdash;Slight Unpleasantness&mdash;Personal.</small></p>

-

-<p>At Pumpkin Vine creek we discover the enemy and

-drive back his skirmishers, who are stationed on its opposite

-bank, recovering the bridge, which we cross and

-throw out skirmishers on the opposite side. While this

-was being accomplished, General Hooker and Staff, with

-a small body guard, pushed ahead to reconnoiter. He

-had not advanced far, however, when he was attacked by

-a force of rebel sharp shooters. He now came tearing

-back into our lines shouting to General Geary to move

-his First brigade into position to hold the enemy in

-check until the Second and Third brigades should come

-up, they being some four miles in our rear. We quickly

-formed line by columns to the right and left, the Twenty-ninth

-Ohio occupying position on the extreme left,

-Knapp’s battery taking position immediately in our rear,

-to cover the bridge in case we were forced to retire before

-reinforcements should reach us. As the left company

-of the Twenty-ninth were completing the battle-line

-a rebel column was found marching in close

-proximity to our flank.</p>

-

-<p>Ten paces to the front the skirmishers were hotly engaged,

-but our flank was uncovered. We immediately

-face to the left and prepare to fire, but are prevented by

-instructions not to draw on a general engagement but to

-hold the position at all hazards. The rebel column on

-our flank, however, slowly retired without firing a gun,

-and forming on their main line, which was massed in the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_99">[99]</span>

-woods a short distance to our front. During this time

-we hastily changed front in form of a semi-circle to protect

-us from flank attack. This movement was executed

-none too soon, as the enemy came immediately to the

-attack, and a sharp engagement opened all along the

-line, which was a hot one, yet it gallantly held its own

-until the balance of its division came up. Forming in

-column with us, we advance on the rebel line and drive

-them slowly back.</p>

-

-<p>The battle now became fierce and our assaults were

-heroically met. Generals Hooker and Geary were present

-and ordered the attack, the plan of which was to advance

-lines and fire, to be followed by bayonet charges, by

-which the enemy was steadily driven back. Our front

-line was frequently relieved by columns from the rear,

-thus keeping fresh men at the front. Geary’s division

-alone had driven Hood’s rebel corps back to the forks of

-the road at New Hope church, when Butterfield’s Third

-division arrived and took position on our left. Soon

-after, Williams came up with the First division and

-passed to the front, which allowed the Second division

-to drop in the reserve long enough to clean our firearms

-and replenish cartridge-boxes, when we again advance in

-support of the First and Third divisions.</p>

-

-<p>Just as the sun disappeared in the western horizon,

-General Geary ordered the First brigade to charge the

-enemy. This movement was executed on the double-quick,

-and as our columns passed in perfect alignment

-to the front, Butterfield’s and Williams’ commands

-greeted us with hearty cheers of genuine admiration.

-Onward the column rushes, and closing with the enemy

-delivers a terrible volley. The charge is continued, the

-air resounding with defiant cheers as the enemy is driven

-from the field and down a hill at a brisk run. It was<span class="pagenum" id="Page_100">[100]</span>

-now beginning to grow dark, and the impetuous rush of

-the men soon brought them within a short distance of a

-line of brush-covered work which concealed the enemy’s

-batteries, who at once opened a terrific and deadly fire of

-grape and canister into our ranks. Instantly falling on

-the ground, we deliver so destructive a fire on their

-cannoniers that their guns are soon silenced. Our left

-being without support, an attempt to carry their works

-was extremely hazardous. The regiment on our right

-had already retired some distance to our right rear, making

-the situation of the Twenty-ninth regiment one of

-great danger, but owing to the darkness we knew nothing

-of it until an officer of Geary’s staff came forward with

-an order to fall back, when we retired to a position some

-forty paces from the rebel line.</p>

-

-<p>The enemy had now ceased firing, and perfect silence

-reigned, only broken by the groans of the wounded and

-dying. The Twenty-ninth regiment had suffered severe

-loss, and only the favorable depression in its front saved

-it from annihilation. W. F. Stevens, captain of company

-B, was wounded in this action.</p>

-

-<p>The Fifth Ohio, on our right on higher ground, suffered

-fearfully from the masked batteries, one company being

-almost entirely decimated. This caused the regiment to

-retire to the knoll. Colonel Patrick, a most gallant

-officer of the Fifth, was killed, also seventy-five of his

-men killed and wounded. The loss of the Twenty-ninth

-Ohio in this charge was forty killed and wounded, shot

-down in almost the short space of time required to

-record it.</p>

-

-<p>It was not long before we heard tremendous cheering

-in the distance on our right front, which was caused by

-Sherman moving a force in that direction, turning the

-rebel flank, which was soon in full retreat. Immediately<span class="pagenum" id="Page_101">[101]</span>

-after, sounds were heard in the supposed deserted rebel

-works, which we believed were our own men who had

-recently occupied them, and by reason of this supposed

-safety our whole command was soon in slumber deep

-and heavy from exhaustion of the day’s labor.</p>

-

-<p>At early dawn on May 26th the enemy discovered our

-close proximity, and at once opened upon us with artillery,

-and at about the same time advanced its infantry

-to attack us in our rear. This movement was discovered,

-however, in time to prevent its further progress.

-After a hot fight the enemy retired to his fortifications.

-During the day several attempts were made in the same

-direction, but without effect. Near the close of the day

-we were temporarily relieved and retired to a ravine a

-few yards in our rear, where we received rations, the first

-“square meal” in two days.</p>

-

-<p>At an early hour the following morning (May 27th)

-our artillery took position at the breastworks and opened

-a furious cannonading, which is replied to with spirit by

-the rebel batteries. During the afternoon the enemy

-made a sortie on our line, a general engagement ensued,

-and the rebels were beaten back. The Twenty-ninth

-regiment loss was slight, we being well protected by rifle

-pits. The rebel loss in this attack was severe, their dead

-and wounded being thickly strewn in front of our works.

-During this attack General Sherman and staff took position

-in our rear. General Hooker is generally where the

-bullets fly thickest, and his utter disregard of danger has

-won the love of the “boys,” who call him “Uncle Joe,”

-and who are all, at any time, ready to go through fire if

-he so desires, knowing he will not ask them to go where

-he fears to lead.</p>

-

-<p>The battle continues throughout the following day,

-with brisk infantry firing and heavy cannonading almost<span class="pagenum" id="Page_102">[102]</span>

-incessantly. As night again shrouds the bloody field the

-Twenty-ninth regiment, with the exception of company

-B, which was on the skirmish line, relieved the Seventh

-Ohio, One Hundred and Ninth, and One Hundred and

-Forty-seventh Pennsylvania. The rebels were unusually

-quiet during the night. Company B remained on the

-skirmish nearly all of the following day and was kept

-hotly engaged. The company’s position was not more

-than eight rods from the rebel outposts, who made it extremely

-hot for us as we went back and forth to the relief

-of our comrades, and sometimes unsoldierly attitudes

-were assumed to evade their deadly aim. Late in the

-day company B was relieved. Henry Brainard, Spencer

-Atkin, and Henry Clark volunteered to go out and bring

-in the bodies of Albert Atkin, C. A. Davis, and Jerome

-Phinney, which they did, the enemy opening fire upon

-them with musketry and artillery, the deadly missiles flying

-thick and fast about them. Such was the treatment

-of the “chivalry” to men bravely exposing themselves

-to give Christian interment to the gallant men who had

-fought their last battle. However, none were injured.

-While performing the last sad rites of burial, the rebels

-came out in a sortie and made furious assaults along our

-entire line. Our men reserved their fire until the enemy

-were close upon them, when, at a given signal, some

-twenty cannon, double shotted with grape, opened fire,

-which made the earth tremble with their awful thunder,

-while the infantry sent deadly volleys into their ranks.

-The result of this fire was most terrible slaughter to the

-enemy, who broke and ran anywhere to cover, leaving

-several hundred dead and dying behind, the ground

-between the two lines being literally covered with the

-rebel dead. During the 30th there were several sharp

-fights, our regiment having several men wounded. May<span class="pagenum" id="Page_103">[103]</span>

-31st the regiment was under fire, as usual, the greater

-part of the day, and at night was engaged in the construction

-of an advanced line of works, under a heavy

-fire from the entire rebel line. Before they were fully

-completed the rebels commenced an attack and we fell

-back on the main line. General Geary being present,

-exclaimed, “Get back to your command in readiness for

-an engagement.” One ensued, which resulted in driving

-the enemy back with severe loss to them. We now

-resumed work and finally succeeded in completing the

-line, though continually annoyed by the enemy’s firing.</p>

-

-<p>On the morning of June 1st the regiment resumed its

-place on the front line and was soon furiously engaged,

-which continued during the fore part of the day. At

-noon the Twentieth corps was relieved by Logan’s Fifteenth

-corps and moved to the left as support to the

-Fourth corps (General Howard). The following morning

-we moved towards the left and at 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>

-formed line and pushed forward in concert with Schofield’s

-Twenty-third corps. We capture two lines of

-rebel works, the enemy falling back. That night we

-slept on our arms. At dawn on the 3d we advanced

-and were soon engaged with the enemy, the skirmishing

-along our whole line being very strong. During the day

-Sherman succeeded in turning the rebel right, causing

-him to retire with severe loss. Twenty-ninth loss:

-Killed, six; wounded, twenty-four; captured, one; total

-thirty-one. This is the tenth day we have been under

-fire. 4th.&mdash;Firing during all of last night. All quiet

-to-day.</p>

-<p class="center"><small>Advance to Pine Knob&mdash;Battle at that Place&mdash;A Forward Movement.</small></p>

-

-<p>At 5 o’clock on the morning of June 6th, the army

-pushed forward after the retreating enemy. When about

-two miles from Ackworth Station he makes a stand, and

-we wheel into line, the Twenty-ninth acting as skirmishers

-while the other troops were engaged in preparing

-rifle-pits. The Fourteenth corps now came up, forming

-on our left, and General Howard’s Fourth corps on our

-right. The position remained the same until June 10th,

-when the Twenty-ninth Ohio is sent forward on a reconnoissance.

-A large force of rebels are found to be

-strongly entrenched on Pine mountain. At dark the

-regiment returned to the main line, where the situation

-remains unchanged until June 14th, when our entire

-force move forward. The Twentieth, with the Fourth

-corps on its left, take position immediately in front of

-the rebel army, on Pine mountain. At evening the

-Twenty-ninth was again advanced to the skirmish line,

-and was engaged, as was our artillery, throughout the

-greater part of the night. On the following day, June

-15th, occurs the battle of Pine Knob, Georgia.</p>

-

-<p>At early dawn our regiment pushed forward as the

-advance of a general flank movement on Pine mountain,

-which resulted in its capture without severe fighting.

-The Twentieth corps was changed from the front to the

-right. Moving rapidly in that direction it soon reached

-another strongly entrenched position of the enemy,

-when the column made a left half wheel, which brought<span class="pagenum" id="Page_105">[105]</span>

-the first brigade of Geary’s division directly in front of

-Pine Knob.</p>

-

-<p>This position of the enemy was found to be strongly

-fortified. Twenty embrazures, from which as many cannon

-bristled, covered all the approaches to it. General

-Hooker ordered General Geary to send two regiments in

-a sortie against the rebel position, and the Twenty-ninth

-Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments, the

-latter on our left, were at once forwarded to the assault.

-General Hooker, mounted on his famous gray charger,

-advanced with us, immediately in rear of our line. The

-general’s presence greatly encouraged the men in this

-desperate undertaking.</p>

-

-<p>On the hill were the twenty cannon, which we knew

-would soon belch forth destruction to our ranks. The

-two regiments silently but rapidly cross a ravine where

-they encounter two rebel regiments. These proved to

-be the First and Twenty-ninth Georgia. We opened

-fire briskly and charging upon them soon drove them in

-disorder to the rear.</p>

-

-<p>We pursued them so hotly that our standard-bearer

-was at one time within a few paces of the rebel Twenty-ninth

-Georgia colors, which we were making desperate

-efforts to capture. The rebel color-bearer was shot,

-but their flag was grasped again by another rebel who

-escaped with it into their fortification. But the regiment

-to which he belonged was nearly annihilated before it

-succeeded in regaining its main line. Our regiment had

-rushed upon them forcing them back step by step until

-they were under cover, and we had succeeded in killing,

-wounding, and taking prisoners all except the little handful

-who escaped with the flag. At the moment of their

-escape we made a dash to carry their fortifications, but

-were checked by abattis and a deep trench hidden by<span class="pagenum" id="Page_106">[106]</span>

-brush. At this point their artillery opened with murderous

-discharges of grape and canister, which produced

-terrible destruction in our ranks. Still the line stands

-firm. Another instant and our men are laying flat upon

-the ground and the deadly missiles go hissing harmlessly

-through the air over our heads. We now open a fire

-upon their cannoniers, so deadly in its character that the

-guns are soon silenced.</p>

-

-<p>Night was fast coming on when our line was ordered

-to fall back to a more secure position. The men now

-engage in the erection of earthworks within a few rods of

-the rebel fort on the knob, which placed the Twenty-ninth

-Ohio in the extreme front, our flanking regiments

-assuming a circular position on our right and left rear.

-We were under fire all night, the rebel infantry and artillery

-keeping up an almost continuous rattle in their

-endeavors to drive our men from their labors on the fortifications.

-Despite this, however, we held our position,

-though suffering a constant loss in our ranks.</p>

-

-<p>Just at daybreak on the 16th instant the Sixty-sixth

-Ohio, of our brigade from the reserve, relieved us; we,

-however, left them well protected by the strong earthworks

-constructed during the night.</p>

-

-<p>The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment went into this

-action with two hundred members, of whom thirty-nine

-were killed and wounded. Among the killed was First

-Sergeant Joel E. Tanner, one of our bravest men. Soon

-after his death his commission reached us promoting

-him to a captaincy for bravery in action. God help that

-little wife of his in her far away northern home to bear

-his death bravely as the wife of a soldier should, even

-though all her hopes and bright anticipations seem shattered

-by the blow. Generals Joe Hooker and Geary

-announced in warm terms their admiration of the “gallant<span class="pagenum" id="Page_107">[107]</span>

-manner in which the Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth

-Pennsylvania regiments conducted themselves in

-the assault on Pine Knob.” The former remarked that

-taking into consideration the deadly fire we were exposed

-to, we had accomplished that which he never saw so

-small a force attempt before. As he was present in the

-assault his opinion is of value.</p>

-

-<p>Sharp skirmishing and artillery firing continued along

-the line during the day. At night the Twenty-ninth

-regiment moved to the front, relieving the Sixty-sixth

-Ohio regiment. It was nearly morning when we discovered

-that the enemy were withdrawing their artillery.

-We at once advanced and possessed the rebel fortifications

-on the hill with little trouble, as the artillery had

-already withdrawn and the infantry were rapidly following.

-After daylight we pushed forward, only to find the

-enemy in another strong position, which we at once attacked.

-A rambling fire was kept up during the entire

-day.</p>

-

-<p>During the following day (June 18th) the same state

-of affairs continued, the firing extending along our entire

-front. At an early hour next morning the enemy retreated,

-and we moved in pursuit, the Twenty-ninth

-Ohio regiment, as usual, in the advance as skirmishers.

-Why, I believe the “boys” would have rebelled had they

-not been put on the skirmish line whenever there was a

-prospect of somebody being killed on our side. Rapidly

-we gained possession of two lines of hills, and soon

-found the enemy upon a third ridge, strongly fortified.

-A skirmish of two hours’ duration ensues, and we are

-ordered to fall back to the main line, as support to

-Bundy’s Thirteenth New York battery.</p>

-

-<p>June 20th the Twenty-ninth regiment and its brigade

-are in line three miles southwest of Marietta, Georgia,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_108">[108]</span>

-and skirmished all day with the enemy. As night came

-on our division moved to the right, forming on the right

-of Butterfield’s Third division. Our regiment was again

-on the skirmish line, and in active engagement during

-the greater part of the night. The next morning we

-formed line of battle near Culp’s farm and to the right

-of Little Kenesaw mountain. At about 11 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> our

-regiment was withdrawn from the skirmish line, and at

-once began throwing up rifle-pits parallel with works of

-Williams’ First division on our right and Butterfield’s on

-our left. The Third brigade of the Second division now

-advanced and engaged the enemy, our single line affording

-feeble protection in the event of an attack on our

-position.</p>

-

-<p class="center"><small>Battle of Culp’s Farm or Kenesaw Mountain&mdash;The Glorious Fourth&mdash;Advance

-to the Chattahoochie.</small></p>

-

-<p>June 22d we move to the front, and occupy a ridge on

-Culp’s farm, which covers the level on our front. We

-had been but a short time in this position when the

-rebel General Hood’s corps was moved directly on our

-front, and immediately advanced in furious attack upon

-the divisions of Generals Geary and Williams. Our

-artillery was at once turned upon the advancing rebel

-columns, which, with the terrific volleys our infantry

-poured into their ranks, produced a sudden check to their

-further advance, and in less than one hour these two

-divisions succeeded in beating back and putting to total

-rout Hood’s entire command, which suffered great loss,

-while ours was but slight. The enemy left on the field

-2,100 killed, wounded, and prisoners, besides many

-wounded, removed from the field. The estimated rebel

-loss was 3,000 men. Eight hundred of the rebel dead

-were buried on the field.</p>

-

-<p>At the close of this action a body of our skirmishers

-were deployed over the field, finding the enemy’s dead

-and wounded scattered thickly about. In places they

-lay stretched across each other, literally heaped up,

-bloody, terrible&mdash;dead. Our skirmishers advanced rapidly,

-and were soon engaged with the enemy’s rear, but

-this soon ceased, and we established a picket line for the

-night. We remained on the field until noon of the 23d,

-when we were retired and rejoined the main line.</p>

-

-<p>At about 4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, one hundred guns opened a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_110">[110]</span>

-simultaneous fire on Little Kenesaw mountain. Directly

-in front of our regiment and across the creek, which flows

-along the base of the mountain, is level ground. At

-this point is situated a block-house and rifle-pits, the

-latter between the house and mountain, and both now

-held by rebel sharpshooters, who were continually picking

-off our cannoniers. General Geary, evidently contemplating

-an advance of his line, called for twenty

-volunteers from the Twenty-ninth regiment to dislodge

-these troublesome occupants of the block-house and

-rifle-pits. In response to this call two men from each

-company came quickly forward, and at once advanced

-across the creek and ravine. The rebels soon discovered

-the detachment; and opened fire upon it. Sergeant

-Griswold, of Company B, in command, rapidly advanced

-his men up the rise of open ground lying between him

-and the enemy, and with a rush amidst a perfect storm

-of bullets, closed on the rifle-pits, capturing all who

-remained in them.</p>

-

-<p>We now approach the rear of the block-house and

-demand its surrender. The rebel lieutenant in command

-exclaimed from the window of the house: “You

-d&mdash;d yanks, take us if you can!” and immediately

-opened fire. The door of the house is soon battered

-down, and the rebels attempt to cut their way out.

-Finding themselves covered by nearly a score of rifles,

-aimed by determined men, all, with the exception of the

-rebel lieutenant and one other, threw down their arms

-and surrendered. The rebel officer fired on the captors

-and lost his life by his rashness. We had now a total of

-twenty-one prisoners. Several others were killed or

-badly wounded. The former were sent at once to the

-rear, and the little force deployed along the road to hold

-the position until reinforcements should arrive. However,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_111">[111]</span>

-they were not furnished, and after holding the position

-some two hours a heavy body of rebels came

-upon us, stealing along under cover of the bushes on

-the opposite side of the road, suddenly arose and fired

-a volley at us. The speed we made across the level

-field with the rebels in hot pursuit, their bullets whistling

-past our ears in the most energetic manner, would have

-dismayed a professional pedestrian.</p>

-

-<p>June 24th, skirmishing during the day. As night

-came on a detachment of the Twenty-ninth regiment

-was sent out on picket. Nothing occurred during the

-night, and at dawn we returned to our brigade, where

-orders were received to hold ourselves in readiness to

-move on notice, cannonading and skirmish fighting being

-kept up along the line.</p>

-

-<p>The situation remained unchanged until June 27th.

-At an early hour this morning two men from each company

-of our regiment volunteered to advance to the relief

-of the Pennsylvania regiment on the outposts, and

-about 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> we moved forward. We were also

-to dislodge the rebel sharpshooters, who had been allowed

-to again possess the block-house and rifle-pits. Crossing

-the creek and ravine we made a quick dash toward the

-locality mentioned, amid a hot cross-fire from rebels

-along the fence before referred to. But as we close the

-rebels abandon the block-house and rifle-pits, yet dispute

-with the energy of desperation, every inch of our advance

-as they retire. We, however, gained possession

-of the road beyond the house, an important position

-covering the rebel left on Little Kenesaw.</p>

-

-<p>They now opened fire on us from the mountain on

-our left and front. Making a flank movement to the

-left we came up in rear of some rebel rifle-pits, capturing

-eleven prisoners and holding the position until the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_112">[112]</span>

-Fifth Ohio regiment came to our support. That regiment

-at once began to fortify, while we remained on the

-skirmish line under constant fire. The enemy discovered

-the work of the Fifth and trained their batteries

-from different directions on our position, and also advanced

-infantry, who made repeated attempts to dislodge

-us. Solid shot and shell came crashing through

-the block-house, the shells bursting amongst us in quick

-succession. Nor were their musketry behind in sending

-their death-dealing missiles upon us.</p>

-

-<p>Knapp’s battery soon came up the hill, and swinging

-into position, unlimbered and opened a rapid cross-fire

-on Little Kenesaw mountain. About this time the

-Fourteenth, with a portion of the Fourth corps, made a

-desperate assault on the mountain a short distance to our

-left. The engagement now became serious, one shell

-killing twelve and another six of our men. To hold the

-position we had captured was an arduous undertaking,

-and so severe was the fighting that those of us who had

-advanced early in the morning had fired nearly two hundred

-rounds. At dusk the fighting ceased, and we are

-recalled to our command.</p>

-

-<p>June 28th.&mdash;This morning at sunrise we advance

-obliquely to the right, and, reaching an advanced position,

-throw up fortifications; rebel batteries open fire on us

-meanwhile. Our lookout, as he sees smoke issue from

-the rebel guns, calls out: “Lay down,” “lay low,” or

-“look out, she’s coming,” etc. Many laughable and other

-incidents occurred during this bombardment, such as attempts

-to dodge shells, etc. Charles Upton, of Company

-G, while carrying a rail, had it cut in two by a shell; he,

-however, escaped unhurt.</p>

-

-<p>June 29th.&mdash;To-day the Fourteenth corps obtained a

-temporary truce under flag, during which they interred<span class="pagenum" id="Page_113">[113]</span>

-their dead. An assault is made on this corps during the

-early part of the night, but is repulsed, and we were not

-again disturbed.</p>

-

-<p>June 30th.&mdash;During this afternoon the Twenty-ninth

-regiment received orders to move. About 10 o’clock at

-night our corps (the Twentieth) was relieved by the

-Fourteenth. We at once marched several miles to the

-right in relief of the Twenty-third corps.</p>

-

-<p>On July 1st our regiment was again engaged. The

-fighting ceased only with daylight. Sharp skirmishing

-and severe cannonading continued during the entire day

-of the 2d, and at night the Twenty-ninth regiment occupied

-its customary position&mdash;on the skirmish line. This

-time, however, it was accompanied by the Twenty-eighth

-Pennsylvania. Just before daylight on the morning of

-July 3d, the enemy were found to be retreating, and we

-at once moved forward to find the works deserted, the

-troops having evacuated. The position, as supposed,

-was almost impregnable to direct assault, being constructed

-to enfilade an attack of infantry.</p>

-

-<p>The army now push forward in pursuit of the retreating

-rebels, the Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth

-Pennsylvania taking the advance in the order of heavy

-skirmishers. We soon came upon Wheeler’s rebel

-cavalry, and engaged his dismounted men so promptly

-that they fell precipitately back to where their horses

-were picketed. The Twenty-ninth succeeded in capturing

-nearly one hundred of them in their hurried efforts

-to remount. The Second division during the pursuit

-captured nearly nine hundred prisoners. The rebels were

-steadily falling back on the Chattahoochie river. It was

-late when we halted for the night. How sweet the wooing

-of the drowsy god after such long continued fatigue,

-only those who have been there can imagine, the soft side<span class="pagenum" id="Page_114">[114]</span>

-of a rail on such occasions being more luxurious than

-any patent spring contrivance of to-day.</p>

-

-<p>July 4th. On this day, made glorious to all this goodly

-land by the forefathers of both the blue and gray, was

-celebrated by the issue of full rations of hard-tack,

-s&mdash;&mdash;, bacon, and coffee, and wonderful feats of gormandizing

-ensued. To make the day something of a

-reminder of the Northern anniversary, with its tearing

-headache of the 5th, General “Joe” ordered an issue

-of liquor to the men, the first of the campaign. About

-4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> we broke camp and marched towards the

-left, but soon came to a halt for the night.</p>

-

-<p>At dawn on the following day we pushed forward and

-took possession of a line of works the rebels had only

-evacuated on our approach. They are now crossing

-Chattahoochie river. The advance is continued until

-within about one and one-half miles of the river, where

-we encounter a second line of rebel works, occupied by

-the enemy to cover the retreat across the river.</p>

-

-<p>July 6th we occupy the position of yesterday. During

-the forenoon our regiment was support of Bundy’s

-New York battery, engaged in shelling the rebels from a

-fort. About 2 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> we returned with the battery to the

-main line, and one hour later moved with our division to

-the left and formed line of battle, in which position we

-passed the night. On the day following we marched to

-the left and assumed position in line between the Fourteenth

-and Fifteenth corps. Sharp skirmishing was kept

-up nearly all night. This position is maintained by our

-regiment, with daily skirmishing, until the early dawn of

-July 10th, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio is pushed forward

-on a reconnoissance. We discover that the enemy

-have retreated across the Chattahoochie. On reaching

-the river we deploy as skirmishers along the north bank,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_115">[115]</span>

-the enemy being posted along the opposite side. Atlanta

-lies only nine miles to the south of us. The rebel

-army of General Joe E. Johnston is said to be strongly

-intrenched some four miles south of our position. A

-small number only of rebels remain on the opposite bank

-of the Chattahoochie. The Union and rebel pickets

-are on good terms, often meeting in the middle of the

-river, where they exchange coffee for tobacco, which, by

-the way, was a very scarce article with us. The Twenty-ninth

-Ohio regiment now musters only one hundred and

-fifty men for duty. The mustering officer tells us that

-we have lost more men killed and wounded in proportion

-to the number present at the beginning of this campaign

-than any regiment in the Western army.</p>

-

-<p>July 6, we were in support of a battery during the

-forenoon. During the afternoon we moved to the left,

-camping in a beautiful grove of pines.</p>

-

-<p>7th. Moved forward some three miles, to a ridge

-commanding a fine view of the country.</p>

-

-<p>11th. The rebels have crossed Chattahoochie river.

-Our pickets are posted on its north bank.</p>

-

-<p>17th. Moved forward to the left, crossed the Chattahoochie

-river at Peace ferry about 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span></p>

-

-<p>18th. Moved forward some two miles, skirmishing

-much of the distance.</p>

-

-<p>19th. Advanced to Peach Tree creek, which we

-crossed, encountering the enemy and taking some

-prisoners.</p>

-

-<p class="center"><small>Battle of Peach Tree Creek&mdash;Some of the “boys” go to Andersonville.</small></p>

-

-<p>On the morning of July 20th, just as old Sol was tinting

-the east with his rosy hue, our army began a general

-forward movement, the Twentieth corps in this advance

-being on the right centre, the Fourth corps left, resting

-on our right, and Newton’s division (Fourth corps) connecting

-with our left. Slight skirmishing ensued early

-in the morning, but towards noon the enemy retired.

-The unbroken stillness which followed caused us to advance

-cautiously lest the rebels draw us into an ambush.

-On reaching Peach Tree creek, a narrow, sluggish stream,

-whose abrupt banks, covered with briars and a dense,

-almost impassable undergrowth, would be a fatal barrier

-to a routed army, especially as the stream was without

-bridges, the entire command came to a halt until crossings

-could be constructed. Previous to the crossing of

-the main line General Geary ordered forward a force in

-reconnoissance, consisting of the Twenty-ninth Ohio,

-Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, a detachment of the

-Thirty-third New Jersey, and four pieces of Bundy’s

-New York battery, Geary himself following and directing

-the movement. When once across we advanced

-over several rough sparsely wooded ravines until reaching

-an eminence overlooking a narrow, open valley

-on our front and left. Immediately on our right

-front was a piece of heavy timber, extending also on

-our rear. The ridge directly in our front was covered

-with a thick undergrowth, affording a fine position for an<span class="pagenum" id="Page_117">[117]</span>

-ambuscade. Our force was now brought to a halt.

-Bundy’s battery was hastily put into position on the ridge

-to cover the valley. The Twenty-ninth Ohio assumed

-position on the right, and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania

-on the left of the battery. D. E. Hurlburt, captain of

-company K, had charge of a detail from the Twenty-ninth

-and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments in the skirmish of

-the timber, so he states.</p>

-

-<p>The detachment of the Thirty-third New Jersey

-deployed as skirmishers across the valley in our front,

-General Geary and staff following closely in its rear.

-While they were advancing, we hastily constructed a

-light barricade of fence rails, and Bundy prepared his

-battery for business. We anxiously watched General

-Geary and the skirmishers as they cautiously moved up

-the ridge.</p>

-

-<p>When within a few yards of the underbrush a large

-force of rebels came from cover, and with wild yells

-rushed forward. Captain Bundy at once opened fire

-upon them, which threw them into disorder, but did not

-check their advance. As Geary and staff passed over our

-line his chief, Captain Elliott, fell from his horse, shot

-dead. Geary shouted to us, “A general engagement! a

-general engagement! My brave men hold to your position.

-I will send support to you.” He was answered

-with rousing cheers. When the little remnant of the

-skirmishing force had come in we commenced a rapid

-fire in connection with Captain Bundy’s double-shotted

-guns, which speedily thinned the advancing columns of

-rebels, but without avail, as the breaks were at once filled

-with fresh troops. As the rebels attempted to close with

-us our men seemed to be endowed with the valor born

-of desperation, and clubbed them back. Forward they

-came, a dense mass of living fire, and bravely we sustained<span class="pagenum" id="Page_118">[118]</span>

-the shock of twenty times our number. The

-sharp rattle of musketry, the loud roar of Bundy’s guns,

-and the defiant shouts of the combatants, in close hand

-to hand conflict, can never be erased from the tablets of

-memory while life shall last. It was grandly, awfully

-terrible.</p>

-

-<p>A dense smoke settled around the battery and enclosing

-the extreme left of the regiment, hid the position of

-our right. Suddenly firing begins on us from our rear.

-The cannoniers are disabled and the infantry are called

-upon to work the guns, which were instantly turned to

-the rear upon heavy masses of rebels advancing from

-the woods on our flank. The greater part of our regiment

-had discovered this movement in time to change

-front to rear, but were instantly forced back by the overwhelming

-numbers of the rebels, and those in charge of

-the battery were instantly surrounded by a powerful mob

-of yelling fiends. Still the double-shotted guns continue

-to belch forth fire and death, cutting great gaps in the

-ranks of the enemy at each discharge.</p>

-

-<p>At the guns’ front, with muskets clubbed, a hand to

-hand conflict was had, to allow the reloading of the guns.

-The situation was now most desperate. A cordon of

-the enemy hemmed in the brave band, now reduced to

-but seventy men, whose ammunition was exhausted, and

-at last they were forced to surrender the battery. Henry

-Rood, of company A, and Henry E. Clark, company B,

-are the only names the writer has been able to secure of

-those captured at this time.</p>

-

-<p>General Geary came up soon after, charged the enemy

-and recovered the battery, which was instantly turned

-upon the rebels, causing great destruction. The prisoners

-were, however, too far in the rear for recapture, and

-they were conveyed to that loathsome earthly hell, Andersonville.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_119">[119]</span>

-What they endured, the cruelties of the studied

-starvation by express order of chivalric Jeff Davis, and

-the horrible atrocities accorded to defenseless prisoners

-by the Southern opponents in this unholy, ungodly conflict,

-the writer will not attempt to describe; language

-fails in the recital. Loss: Killed, two; wounded, seven;

-captured, five; total fourteen.</p>

-<p>July 21st, heavy skirmishing on our right. 22d, we

-moved forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels. 23d,

-we are now strongly intrenched, within two miles of

-are repulsed. 29th and 30th, fighting continues.</p>

-

-<p>August 1st to 3d, hot firing all the time. 4th, National

-Thanksgiving Day; fighting on our right; rebels

-driven back; skirmishing every day&mdash;all the time; getting

-monotonous. 25th, left our works and fell back to the

-Chattahoochie river, near Vining station; marched all

-night. 27th, Major-general W. H. Slocum assumed

-command of the Twentieth army corps.</p>

-

-<p>September 4th, moved forward to Atlanta, which we

-reached about 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>; marched through the

-city and went into camp about one and one-half miles

-west of the city. 6th, received an order from General

-Sherman that the campaign was ended, and that the

-troops are to have a full month’s rest; that our task was

-not only done, but well done. 12th, the citizens of Atlanta

-were moved south to-day; from this date we lay

-in camp with little to mar our happiness till November

-1st, when we received orders to send all our baggage to

-the rear and put ourselves in light marching order.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_121">[121]</span>

-November 5th, orders having been received for the

-troops to move, the Twenty-ninth struck tents and

-marched from Atlanta at 3:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> in the direction of

-Stone Mountain, some three miles, and camped for the

-night. At 1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> on the following day, the regiment

-marched back to Atlanta, and again occupied its

-old camp.</p>

-

-<p>During the afternoon of the 1st of September specific

-orders for the withdrawal of Stewart’s rebel <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">corps de

-armee</i> and the militia were issued, and about sunset the

-latter were withdrawn from the trenches. When they

-were fairly on the road Stewart’s corps followed, all being

-en route by midnight, except the cavalry, a brigade or

-two of infantry, and the pickets. These latter remained

-until the advance of the Twentieth corps neared the city

-on the morning of the 2d. The explosion of ammunition

-was of course heard at the position of the Twentieth

-corps, and though General Slocum (who it appears was

-in command of the Twentieth corps at the time) had received

-no intelligence of Sherman’s great success at

-Jonesboro, he was not unprepared to find Hood gone

-any morning, and the explosions convinced him that the

-withdrawal was taking place. He instantly issued orders

-to his division commanders, Generals Ward, Williams,

-and Geary, to send out each a heavy reconnoissance at

-daybreak on the morning of the 2d.</p>

-

-<p>About 1,000 men were detailed from each division,

-and at 5 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> pushed forward on neighboring roads into

-Atlanta on the north and northwest, encountering no opposition.

-They pushed rapidly forward, and at 8 o’clock

-came in sight of the rebel intrenchments, so lately occupied

-with enemies but now silent and deserted.</p>

-

-<p>Advancing rapidly, Colonel Coburn, commanding

-General Ward’s reconnoissance, entered the enemy’s<span class="pagenum" id="Page_122">[122]</span>

-works, encountering in the suburbs Mayor Calhoun, of

-Atlanta, and a deputation of the city council. The former

-nervously presented a paper surrendering the city

-and asking protection. Colonel Coburn refused to receive

-the paper for informality, and directed that another

-should be drawn up. Mayor Calhoun invited several of

-General Ward’s staff to accompany him to the court-house,

-where the documents should be made <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">en regle</i>,

-promising at the same time to expel the drunken rebel

-stragglers, who were lingering in the streets and were disposed

-to skirmish with our advance. He immediately

-took measures to effect the last, and accompanied by the

-officers whose names are offered in attest, he returned to

-the court-house, and the following document was drawn

-up:</p>

-20th instant, in which the Twentieth corps, one division

-of the Fourth corps, and part of the Fourteenth corps

-<p>“The officers and soldiers of the armies of the Cumberland,

-Ohio, and Tennessee have already received the

-thanks of the Nation through its President and commander

-in chief, and it remains now only for him who

-has been with you from the beginning, and who intends

-to stay all the time, to thank the officers and men for

-their intelligence, fidelity, and courage displayed in the

-campaign of Atlanta. On the 1st day of May our armies

-were lying in garrison, seemingly quiet, from Knoxville

-to Huntsville, and our enemy lay behind his rocky-faced

-barrier at Dalton, proud, defiant, and exultant. He

-had time since Christmas to recover from his discomfiture

-on the Mission Ridge, with his ranks filled, and a

-new commander in chief, second to none of the Confederacy

-in reputation for skill, sagacity, and extreme

-popularity. All at once our armies assumed life and

-action and appeared before Dalton. Threatening Rocky

-Face, we threw ourselves upon Resaca, and the rebel

-army only escaped by the rapidity of its retreat, aided

-by the numerous roads with which he was familiar, and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_125">[125]</span>

-which were strange to us. Again he took post, at Allatoona,

-but we gave him no rest, and by a circuit toward

-Dallas and a subsequent movement to Ackworth, we

-gained the Allatoona pass. Then followed the eventful

-battles about Kenesaw and the escape of the enemy

-across the Chattahoochie river. The crossing of the

-Chattahoochie and breaking of the Augusta road was

-most handsomely executed by us, and will be studied as

-an example in the art of war. At this stage of our game

-our enemies became dissatisfied with their old and skilful

-commander and selected one more bold and rash.

-New tactics were adopted. Hood first boldly and

-rapidly on the 20th of July fell on our right at Peach

-Tree creek, and lost again. On the 22d he struck our

-extreme left and was severely punished; and finally again

-on the 28th he repeated the attempt on our right, and

-that time must have been satisfied, for since that date he

-has remained on the defensive. We slowly and gradually

-drew our lines about Atlanta, feeling for the railroads

-which supplied the rebel army and made Atlanta a place

-of importance. We must concede to our enemy that

-he met these efforts patiently and skilfully, but at last he

-made the mistake we had waited for so long and sent

-his cavalry to our rear, far beyond the reach of recall.

-Instantly our cavalry was on his only remaining road,

-and we followed quickly with our principal army, and

-Atlanta fell into our possession as the fruit of well-concerted

-measures, backed by a brave and competent army.

-This completed the grand task which had been assigned

-us by our Government, and your general again repeats

-his personal and official thanks to all the officers and

-men composing this army for the indomitable courage

-and perseverance which alone could give success. We

-have beaten our enemy on every ground he has chosen,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_126">[126]</span>

-and have wrested from him his own Gate city, where

-were located his foundries, arsenals, and workshops,

-deemed secure on account of their distance from our

-base and the seeming impregnable obstacles intervening.

-Nothing is impossible to an army like this, determined

-to vindicate a government wherever our flag has once

-floated, and resolved to maintain them at any and all

-cost.</p>

-

-<p>“In our campaign many, yea very many of our noble

-and gallant comrades have preceded us to our common

-destination, the grave; but they have left the memory

-of deeds on which a Nation can build a proud history.

-McPherson, Harker, McCook, and others dear to us all,

-are now the binding links in our minds that should attach

-more closely together the living, who have to complete

-the task which still lies before us in the dim

-future.</p>

-

-<p>“I ask all to continue as they have so well begun, the

-cultivation of the soldierly virtues that have ennobled

-our own and other countries,&mdash;courage, patience, obedience

-to the laws and constituted authorities of our

-Government, fidelity to our trusts, and good feeling

-among each other; each trying to excel the other in the

-practice of those high qualities, and it will then require

-no prophet to foretell that our country will, in time,

-emerge from this war purified by the fires of war and

-worthy its great founder, Washington.</p>

-<p>Tuesday, the 8th instant, the Twenty-ninth was very

-busy holding election. Detachments from other organizations

-were permitted to vote at the Twenty-ninth headquarters.

-The Twenty-ninth regiment cast three hundred

-and eighty-four votes. Of these Lincoln received

-three hundred and fifty and McClellan thirty-four.

-During the day the regiment was wide awake and

-At 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> on the following day, while the regiment

-was in tents eating breakfast, the rebels opened a lively

-fire with artillery, at short range. The enemy approached

-Sandtown road, who were surprised and fell back without

-firing a shot; hence the first intimation that we had that

-the enemy was near was the report of their artillery and

-fell in and took position behind the fortification which

-the regiment had constructed. In the meantime a line

-where the rebels had destroyed the bridge, and while

-preparing dinner, the Twenty-ninth regiment was ordered

-to fall in, which it did without delay, and marched to

-the creek; the enemy was found on its opposite bank in

-considerable force; the regiment was ordered to drive

-the enemy out of the timber, force them back and hold

-them while the bridge was being rebuilt; we loaded our

-guns, and crossing the bank four companies under Captain

-Schoonover advanced to the right up the road,

-through the timber (which was a thick undergrowth)

-driving the enemy out of the woods and into an open

-field about one mile from the bridge; barricaded the

-road with rails, and the other six companies under Major

-Wright, advanced direct to the point through the woods

-about one mile, the enemy falling back; the regiment

-held its position until the bridge was rebuilt, and a

-crossing effected, and late in the <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the brigade

-moved through the swamp and camped for the night.

-3d, remained in camp until after dinner, then moved

-forward the remainder of the day and all night; had no

-supper; halted at 7 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> for breakfast, near Millen; the

-

-<p>9th instant at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, moved six miles and halted

-thirty minutes for dinner at Wallhower Swamp, where

-the Confederates were found in force. The fallen timber

-which obstructed the road was soon removed by the

-Pioneer corps, and in the meantime with the Third

-brigade, of Geary’s division in the advance, had a sharp

-skirmish with the rebels. While the road was being

-cleared the Second division were resting on their arms,

-except the Third brigade, which had advanced nearly

-through the swamp. While engaged with the enemy

-the train was ordered forward, and the Twenty-ninth

-regiment advanced on double-quick in support of the

-brigade thus engaged. Passing the train it reached the

-Third brigade, which had advanced about one mile and

-a half. The Twenty-ninth immediately formed line on

-the left of the road in rear of the Third brigade, and

-skirmished until dark, when the firing ceased. During

-the night the rebels fell back. 10th instant, moved at

-7 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> and marched through the swamp where we

-found small earth works and two small field pieces

-masked to cover the road through the swamp, but when

-the boys in blue were discovered the rebels moved to

-the rear. The regiment marched thirteen miles with

-some skirmishing and artillery firing during the day and

-night.</p>

-

-<p>When about four miles from the city of Savannah,

-

-<p>On this march the army cut loose from the base of

-supplies at Atlanta, and lived mostly from forage on the

-country. On reaching the enemy within four miles of

-Savannah, on the 10th day of December, the division

-had accumulated several hundred head of cattle. Sunday,

-December 11th, moved in the morning about one

-mile, and took a position near the rebel lines, the

-Twenty-ninth regiment, on the extreme left of the line,

-with its left reaching the Savannah river. While in this

-position the rebels opened fire with artillery from a fort

-immediately in our front, and the infantry from their

-strong line of works, kept up a continual fire. The

-brigade remained in line until late in the afternoon, sustaining

-slight loss, when it fell back through the open

-field into the woods and laid on arms all night. On the

-12th inst., at 2:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, fell in and advanced to the

-front about one-half mile to the old levee, and thence

-filed to the left. Marched about three-fourths of a mile,

-halted, and prepared to charge the rebels. To do so

-the right had to pass a dike or canal with four or five

-feet of water, and assault the fort and breastworks in<span class="pagenum" id="Page_133">[133]</span>

-open field. The charge was abandoned, and at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>

-the regiment returned to camp, where we remained

-skirmishing and artillery firing during the day. On the

-13th inst. the Twenty-ninth was on skirmish line all day.

-During the night we advanced our line through a woods,

-which was heavy pine, mixed with live oak, within two

-hundred yards of the rebel line, where they were strongly

-intrenched. Between the contending armies was no

-timber except scattering undergrowth, and a canal near

-the rebel line of works. In this advanced position the

-regiment dug rifle-pits, which were strongly barricaded

-with timber.</p>

-

-<p>In the lines of rifle-pits our pickets were stationed and

-performed the duty of skirmishers, being relieved

-every twenty-four hours, which was done under cover of

-night. In the meantime the regiment fell back about

-one-fourth of a mile, and constructed works of heavy

-timber, in the rear of which the men put up their shelter

-tents. Here they could partake of the scanty rations (but

-dare not sleep), as the artillery firing and skirmishing

-was kept up continually day and night on the 14th, 15th,

-16th and 17th; and Sunday, the 18th, skirmishing and

-artillery duelling all along the line. On the 19th skirmishing

-all day. In the evening a detail was made from our

-brigade under the command of Major Myron T. Wright,

-to construct new lines of works. While engaged in the

-work at 7 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, he received a severe wound in the

-left foot (at which time Captain Jonas Schoonover took

-command), the ball entering the foot a little below the

-instep, and lodged into the center of the heel about one

-inch from the bottom of the foot. On the 20th, firing

-all along the line. This ceased at 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> The

-Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade and division,

-has been in position on the left of the road leading<span class="pagenum" id="Page_134">[134]</span>

-from Springfield to the city of Savannah, with its main

-line in the timber, its right resting on the river. During

-the ten days the command remained in front of Savannah

-it took charge of large rice mills on the river, and

-supplied the men with rice. The quartermaster used

-large quantities for the train teams. At one time rice

-sold for fifty cents per quart (before the capture of Fort

-McAllister, on December 13th, 1864). The rebels in

-our front were behind a heavy line of works, which was

-surmounted with large timber called head logs, with port

-holes in their front. At their rear was a large body of

-timber, their right rested on the river, where they had

-constructed two forts, one near the river, and the other

-a short distance west along their line, where they had a

-strong position behind sand bags. But our lines were

-advancing nearer every day, and during the night of

-December 20th they evacuated their works, and fell back

-to Savannah, crossing the river into South Carolina.

-At 4 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on the 21st day of December, the Twenty-ninth

-fell in, and moved in the advance of the brigade

-to the front. Passing the rifle-pits, it filed to the left,

-across the canal near the rebel fort, finding their works

-and entire line evacuated. We moved on in the direction

-of Savannah. On reaching the city, the Twenty-ninth

-Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments

-moved down the river to Fort Jackson, which had been

-evacuated and set on fire. The regiments reached the

-fort at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and at 12 o’clock at night the rebels blew

-up their gunboat Beauregard. We remained at the fort

-until December 24th, with the usual routine of camp and

-garrison duty. In the meantime the Twenty-ninth took

-an inventory of the ordnance and ordnance stores captured

-by the Twenty-ninth regiment and the Twenty-eighth

-Pennsylvania in Fort Jackson and other forts<span class="pagenum" id="Page_135">[135]</span>

-along the Savannah river. On the 24th instant the regiment

-was ordered to move at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> The Twenty-ninth,

-in rear of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania volunteers,

-marched to the city of Savannah, passing through

-it, and encamping on the west side.</p>

-

-<p>On the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th, fixing company

-quarters, and attending to the usual routine

-of camp and guard duty. Friday, the 30th, the

-army reviewed. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved

-from camp at 8:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and marched to Liberty street

-in the city of Savannah, where it joined the brigade

-formed on the left, in prolongation with the Sixty-sixth

-regiment of Ohio volunteers. After review it returned

-to its old camp at 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> Saturday, the 31st,

-inspection and muster for pay at 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span></p>

-

-<p>January 1, 1865, monthly inspection at 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>

-2d, 3d, 4th and 5th, nothing occurred except the

-usual camp duty. 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th, in camp, and

-up to the 18th the Twenty-ninth was doing camp duty,

-and on the 18th received news of the fall of Fort Fisher.

-From the 19th to the 25th engaged in camp duty and

-regimental drill.</p>

-“Captain W. T. Forbes, assistant adjutant general:<br />

-</p>

-

-<p>“In compliance with circular order No. 144, I have

-the honor to submit the following report of the operations

-of this brigade, from the capture of Atlanta, September

-2, 1864, to the occupation of Savannah, Georgia,

-December 21, 1864, etc., etc....

-December 2d, the march was resumed at daybreak and

-was uninterrupted until Buckhead creek was reached.

-The bridge over this place was partially destroyed, and a

-few of the enemy’s cavalry were on the opposite side of

-the swamp. Major Wright, commanding the Twenty-ninth

-Ohio volunteers, was ordered to cross the creek<span class="pagenum" id="Page_137">[137]</span>

-with his regiment and drive and keep away this force,

-which was accomplished without loss. The command

-camped for the night near Buckhead church....

-December 12th to December 20th inclusive, a substantial

-line of works was thrown up for the protection of

-the command from the artillery of the enemy, and in

-addition to this two forts, with thirteen embrasures in

-the aggregate, were constructed by the command. The

-working parties on Fort No. 2 were under the command

-of Captain Kreicler, One Hundred and Forty-seventh

-Pennsylvania volunteers, and those on Fort No. 3 under

-command of Captain E. B. Woodbury, Twenty-ninth

-Ohio volunteers. Both these officers and the men under

-their command are deserving of praise for the energy

-and perseverance manifested in the prosecution of the

-duty assigned them.</p>

-

-<p>“December 21st, the enemy having evacuated their

-position the night previous, their works were occupied at

-an early hour by the skirmishers of the division, and by

-sunrise the city of Savannah was entered and occupied,

-this brigade being in line in the advance into the city.

-Soon after reaching the city, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania

-and Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, under command

-of Colonel John Flynn, were, by order of the

-commanding-general of division, through Captain Veale,

-aide-de-camp, dispatched to occupy Fort Jackson and the

-smaller forts and batteries near it. The possession of

-the forts and other works was gained with but slight resistance.</p>

-

-<p>“Inventory of ordnance and ordnance stores captured

-by the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers and the Twenty-eighth

-Pennsylvania in Fort Jackson and other forts on

-the Savannah river: Forty-four thirty-two-pounders, two

-ten-inch Columbiads, twenty eight-inch Columbiads, two<span class="pagenum" id="Page_138">[138]</span>

-rifled thirty-two-pounders, twelve twenty-four-pounder

-howitzers, one eight-inch mortar, three three-inch rifled

-field-pieces, etc., etc. Of the ninety-one guns captured,

-fourteen only were found to have been spiked and shotted.

-The gun-carriages were broken and temporarily

-disabled, and all the implements were broken and

-destroyed.</p>

-

-<p>“To the regimental commanders I tender my thanks

-for the strict obedience to orders, and the enforcement

-of the regulation prescribed in regard to the conduct of

-the march, and especially are they due to Major M. T.

-Wright, Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was seriously

-wounded while supervising the working parties on the

-forts, for the promptitude exhibited by him in the execution

-of all orders, and his strict attention to the duties

-incumbent on him throughout the entire campaign.</p>

-

-<div class="blockquot">

-

-<p>“December 29th, a conference of the division and

-brigade commanders with the general commanding the

-corps, was held at 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> to-day, with the view to the

-adoption of a plan for storming the enemy’s works, as

-soon as the heavy guns should be in readiness to open

-fire. Fort No. 1 was finished this evening. The details

-from the First and Third brigades continued work on

-the other forts during the night, under a heavy artillery

-fire from the enemy. Several casualties occurred, among

-them Major Wright, a most valuable officer, commanding

-the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was severely

-wounded by a shell. Sloan’s battery of three-inch rifled<span class="pagenum" id="Page_139">[139]</span>

-guns had already taken position in a work thrown up to

-the right of Fort 3, and in the open field.</p>

-

-<p>“December 20th. The usual artillery firing and sharp

-shooting to-day. By this evening we had constructed

-and in readiness for use in the contemplated assault,

-two hundred large straw fascines, to fill up ditches in

-front of the enemy’s works; also a large number of fascines

-made of bamboo-cane. The latter were to be

-used for bridging the canal by laying them across baulks,

-which were furnished from the pontoon train for that

-purpose. The work on Forts 2 and 3 was well advanced

-to-day, and would probably be completed to-night.

-Three siege-guns (thirty-pounder Parrotts) were brought

-down this evening and mounted in Fort No. 2. I ascertained

-this morning that the enemy had completed a

-pontoon bridge from Savannah across to the South Carolina

-shore, and notified the general commanding corps

-of the discovery. This bridge was about two and a half

-miles from my left. The usual artillery firing was kept

-up by the enemy during the day and night. During the

-night I heard the movement of troops and wagons across

-the pontoon bridge before mentioned, and sent a report

-of the fact to the general commanding corps. Leaving

-one of my staff to watch the sounds in that direction, I

-notified my officer of the day and brigade commanders

-to keep a vigilant watch upon the enemy, as they were

-probably evacuating. The details on Forts 2 and 3 continued

-working through the night, the enemy shelling

-them heavily.</p>

-

-<p>“December 21st. After 3 o’clock this morning the

-firing ceased, and my pickets advancing to the enemy’s

-line, found them hastily retreating. Having possession

-of their line of works with all their cannon in front of

-my own and the other division of the corps, I immediately<span class="pagenum" id="Page_140">[140]</span>

-sent a staff officer to notify the general commanding,

-and at the same time pushed forward rapidly in the

-direction of Savannah, hoping to overtake and capture a

-part of the enemy’s force. My skirmishers deployed

-and swept over all the ground between the evacuated

-works and the Ogeechee canal, from the river to the

-Augusta road, while my main body of troops marched

-rapidly by the flank through McAlpin’s plantation to the

-Augusta road, and on into the city. Just outside of the

-city limits near the junction of the Louisville and Augusta

-roads, I met the mayor of Savannah and a delegation

-from the board of alderman, bearing a flag of truce.

-From them I received in the name of my commanding

-general the surrender of the city. This was at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>,

-and I sent immediately another staff officer to announce

-the surrender to the general commanding the

-corps. He had considerable difficulty in passing the

-line of another division of this corps on the Augusta

-road, but finally convinced them that he belonged to the

-Twentieth corps and not to the enemy. In the meantime

-my entire division entered the city of Savannah at

-early dawn, and before the sun first gilded the morning

-clouds, our National colors, side by side with those of

-my own division, were unfurled from the dome of the

-exchange, and over the United States custom house.

-The brigade which led on entering the city, was at once

-ordered to patrol it, reduce it to order and quiet, and

-prevent any pillaging or lawlessness on the part either of

-soldiers or citizens. My orders on the subject were very

-strict, and within a few hours this city, in which I had

-found a lawless mob of low whites and negroes pillaging

-and setting fire to property, was reduced to order. Many

-millions of dollars worth of cotton, ordnance and commissary

-stores, etc., which would have been otherwise<span class="pagenum" id="Page_141">[141]</span>

-destroyed, were saved to the United States Government,

-and the citizens once more enjoyed security under the

-protection of that flag which again waved over them, exactly

-four years since the passage by the State of South

-Carolina of the Secession Act.</p>

-

-<p>“Two regiments from Pardee’s brigade, the Twenty-eighth

-Pennsylvania and Twenty-ninth Ohio veteran

-volunteers, were sent down to Fort Jackson, and early

-in the morning had possession of it and all the intermediate

-and surrounding works. The iron-plated ram,

-Savannah, which lay in the river below the city, threw

-shells at these two regiments as they flung the stars and

-stripes to the breeze from the walls of Fort Jackson.

-All the other gun-boats of the enemy had been fired by

-them and burned to the water’s edge.</p>

-

-<p>“On the arrival of the major-general commanding the

-left wing, I was, by his order, placed in command of the

-city. Until nearly 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> continued firing was heard

-in the direction of Beaulieu, and supposing that a portion

-of the enemy might still be south of us, I kept one

-brigade under arms during the forenoon. Three rebel

-flags were captured by my command, which will be duly

-forwarded.</p>

-will sufficiently explain.</p>

-

-<p>The new flag for the Twenty-ninth regiment, contributed

-by the citizens of Summit and Ashtabula counties,

-was accompanied by the following letter from Colonels

-Buckley and Fitch. The receipt of the new flag is

-gracefully acknowledged by the letter of Mr. G. W. Holloway,

-appended thereto, which letter was accompanied

-by the old flag, which had been borne by this gallant regiment

-in so many bloody battles.</p>

-honor and pleasure of forwarding to the gallant old

-Twenty-ninth another national flag, the gift of its old

-friends in Ashtabula and Summit counties. This is the

-third national flag given the regiment from the same

-source. It is certainly a strong proof that its friends

-still believe it to be one of the bravest of the brave of

-the many noble regiments Ohio has given to fight this

-great battle. If the regiment had no other proof than

-its old and tattered flags, that alone would show that it<span class="pagenum" id="Page_150">[150]</span>

-had been in the thickest of the fight, ever ready to

-breast the fury of the battle storm; but its history tells

-us that it has borne an honorable part in nearly a score

-of the hardest fought battles of the war. Citizen soldiers,

-take this flag and bear it aloft wherever duty calls,

-and your friends will take your past record as a guarantee

-that it will never be dishonored by the Twenty-ninth

-Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. Colonel, please remember

-<p><span class="smcap">Gentlemen</span>:&mdash;In the name of the officers and men

-of the Twenty-ninth Ohio veteran volunteer infantry, I

-herewith acknowledge the receipt of the beautiful flag

-presented the regiment, and in return I present to you

-the old one, which it has been our proud honor to carry

-victoriously over many hard-fought battlefields. That

-dear “old flag” which has been our companion through

-years of fearful war and carnage, and which symbolizes

-our glorious nationality, tells its own story. We return

-it to you, but not so beautiful in form and color as when

-presented to us eighteen months ago. But whilst its

-external beauty has been defaced, yet the great life-giving

-principles of which it is the exponent, are all the

-more deeply enshrined in the hearts of its defenders, and

-Liberty receives through this standard another bright and

-shining star to her beautiful constellation. Take it, then,

-and place it among the archives of the nation, that it

-may be preserved as a sacred memorial, and handed<span class="pagenum" id="Page_151">[151]</span>

-down to latest posterity as a glorious legacy and standard

-that was borne, as by angel hands, in opposition to oppression

-and rebellion. Be assured that it is with a

-renewed national pride that we look upon this beautiful

-flag presented to the Twenty-ninth Ohio, by the patriotic

-and loyal citizens of Summit and Ashtabula counties.

-The past history of almost four years in war, speaks for

-our conduct as soldiers and patriots for the future. We

-promise never to desert this flag, nor will we permit

-traitors or rebels to wrest it from our hands. We will

-always be willing and ready to unfurl it in defense of the

-principles of our glorious, free Republic. Truly our

-country’s faith has learned a new interpretation of her

-standard. The white typifies the purity of purpose which

-belongs to her true ruler; the red points to the crimson

-tide in which life flows forth a willing offering; the blue

-reminds her of her home in heaven, to which all the good

-are gathered; the stars in her banner tell of light in

-darkness, and she shall learn to range them in a new and

-beautiful order, as the constellation of the cross. It is

-that flag which has solved most conclusively the long

-disputed problem of a free republican form of government.

-It was that flag which was so bravely and triumphantly

-carried through the ordeal of war by our Revolutionary

-sires, and encircled them with a halo of glory

-that shall be handed down untarnished to millions of

-unborn freemen. It was that flag which, under God, enabled

-our forefathers to gain our glorious independence,

-and here, in this beautiful land of lakes and rivers, rear

-a temple of liberty which stands first among the nations

-of the earth, the envy and admiration of all. It is the

-flag which we have learned to love and to defend, and

-which we cherish in our hearts as the guardian angel of

-our country.</p>

-

-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_152">[152]</span></p>

-

-<p>May that same God who has given so many brave

-hearts to defend it, continue to preserve it, and may it

-give light and liberty to millions who are yet groaning

-under tyranny and oppression. But we would not pass

-by unnoticed the many noble brave men who offered

-themselves a willing sacrifice upon our country’s altar

-in defense of that national banner. The voices of our

-fallen comrades are borne to us in solemn silence by

-every breeze that fans our brow. The South is billowed

-with the graves where sleep the patriot martyrs of constitutional

-liberty, until the resurrection morn. We hold

-them dear to our hearts, for may it never be forgotten

-that their deeds of valor facilitated the consummation of

-the glorious results which have just been achieved.

-Though they be dead, they yet speak, and will continue

-to speak to the end of all time, and dear to each patriot

-heart will ever be the memory of those who died in

-defense of the Union.</p>

-embarked on the cars of the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad

-and steamed away homeward, bound to Parkersburg

-by way of Grafton, West Virginia, thence by boat

-to Louisville, Kentucky; moved five miles into the

-country, where we remained until the 13th day of July,

-when we were mustered out. Repairing to Camp

-Taylor, near Cleveland, Ohio, we were paid off and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_153">[153]</span>

-formally discharged from the service on the 22d and

-23d days of July, 1865.</p>

-

-<p>We have now followed the regiment through nearly

-four years of the most arduous service which ever fell to

-the lot of any organization of this character, marching

-and fighting through most of the States in rebellion, its

-pathway marked by the graves of our comrades who fell.

-In the interim, hundreds of the brave 1540 who were

-upon its rolls, pass under the charge of the worse than

-fiends of hell, who presided at Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville,

-and other courts of death, by courtesy called

-rebel prisons, where, after being robbed of all they possessed,

-and even stripped of necessary clothing, they

-were subjected to a systematic course of starvation (and

-that, too, under the immediate supervision of that foul

-blot upon humanity, Jeff Davis) until their brave spirits

-went out to the God who gave them. In the army of

-the East, with the army of the West, with Sherman in

-the glorious march to the sea, and the brilliant campaign

-of the Carolinas&mdash;where there was danger and death&mdash;shone

-the “white star” of the Twenty-ninth. The

-skirmish line and the advance became so nearly the

-normal condition of the regiment that assignment to

-positions less dangerous elicited exclamations of surprise

-from the “boys.”</p>

-

-<p>At length the last ditch, so frequently referred to by

-the braggart rebels, was reached&mdash;chivalrous Jeff Davis

-in hoc and crinoline begged that mercy be shown to

-“woman and children.” The bubble secessia burst, and

-the command, now reduced to a mere handful, turn sadly

-northward, its columns “gaping from the havoc of shot

-and shell, and the disease of the camp, and prison pen,

-its colors ragged and torn, but proud and defiant as ever&mdash;one

-grand ovation to the living, a sad wailing requiem<span class="pagenum" id="Page_154">[154]</span>

-for the dead,” and “good byes” are said in the beautiful

-Forest city, as each departed for their homes to assume

-the peaceful avocations of four years before.</p>

-

-<p>Gradually they have drifted away&mdash;some to a quiet

-nook in the country church yard, and others to the east,

-every State and Territory in this vast Union. Annually

-It gives in brief the important work of the regiment

-during its nearly four years’ service, and should the

-“gentle reader” find the descriptive portion of the history

-too voluminous, she has but to turn to this review

-to find consolation.</p>

-

-<p>Beginning with the service in the winter of 1861–2,

-along the waters of the Potomac and its tributaries, and

-in the mountain regions of Hampshire county, the

-Romney expedition in West Virginia, the advance to

-Winchester via Little mountain and Martinsburg, thence

-into the Shenandoah valley. The Strasburg march,

-which ended in the battle of Winchester, where the

-Federal army, under General Shields, and the rebels,

-commanded by General T. J. Jackson, at Kernstown,

-engaged in a sanguinary battle on March 23d, 1862, in

-which the Union army gained a victory. The Twenty-ninth

-Ohio done its full share, suffering slight loss in

-killed and wounded. The march up the valley to Madisonburg;

-the long march to Fredericksburg, leaving the

-Shenandoah valley at New Market on the 12th day of

-May, 1862, and reaching Fredericksburg May 22, 1862,

-a day or two later returning to Luray via Warrenton and

-Front Royal, up the Luray valley to Port Republic,

-where, on the 9th day of June, it engaged in battle with

-heavy loss in killed and wounded. One hundred and

-ten were made prisoners. The Twenty-ninth was engaged

-at short range in the open field against three times<span class="pagenum" id="Page_156">[156]</span>

-its number over four hours. During the time the

-struggle was desperate on both sides. The battle of

-Cedar mountain, seven miles from Culpepper Courthouse,

-on August 9th, the Union army under Banks, the

-rebels under Longstreet, the Twenty-ninth was engaged

-in the open field without cover, and sustained considerable

-loss. Then followed the retrograde move to Culpepper;

-the campaign of General Pope, including the

-second battle of Bull Run; and the march to Frederick

-City; the winter and spring campaign of 1862 and 1863,

-under Major-general Joseph Hooker, at Dumfries, was

-memorable for its intense suffering; then came the march

-to Chancellorsville, and the battle there, which began

-May 1st, and ended on the 3d, in which the Twenty-ninth

-suffered heavy loss and was the last to leave the

-field. May 5th we crossed the Rappahannock on our

-way to Gettysburg via Aqua creek, Dumfries, Fairfax

-Court House, Leesburg, Edward’s Ferry, Harper’s Ferry,

-Frederick, and Littletown, where we fought one of the

-most determined battles of the war, commencing on the

-1st and ending on the 4th day of July, 1863.</p>

-

-<p>We returned to Virginia; moved to New York to quell

-riots; returned again; advanced to the Rapidan; reported

-to the Department of the Cumberland, via the Baltimore

-&amp; Ohio railroad, crossing the Ohio river at Bellaire.

-On September 30th, we passed through Columbus,

-Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky,

-and halted at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. In October

-we passed down to Stevenson and Bridgeport, Alabama,

-and up the Tennessee river to Wauhatchie valley.</p>

-

-<p>On November 24th and 25th, we were engaged in the

-battle of Lookout mountain; Missionary Ridge on

-November 24th and 25th, and Taylor’s Ridge and Ringgold,

-Georgia, on November 26th and 27th, 1863.</p>

-

-<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_157">[157]</span></p>

-

-<p>In December of the same year we re-enlisted, and

-during the winter we prepared for a vigorous and active

-campaign in the early spring of 1864. On May 3d, we

-left Bridgeport, Alabama, on the Georgia campaign,

-passing around Lookout Mountain, Rossville, and Crawfish

-springs. On May 8th, the Twenty-ninth regiment

-took an active part in the battle of Dug Gap, Georgia,

-where it distinguished itself for bravery unparalleled

-in modern history; every fourth man was killed

-or wounded. We moved on to Resaca, and in the

-fight of the 14th our loss was light. We moved

-on to Calhoun, Adairsville, Kingston, and Cassville on

-May 21st. In the battle of Pumpkin Vine Creek (or

-Dallas) from May 25th to the 28th, we met with some

-loss. In the battle of Pine Knob on June 15th, the

-Twenty-ninth suffered severe loss. Many of its brave

-heroes, whose valor will ever be held in memory by every

-survivor of the Twenty-ninth regiment, were killed.

-The battles of Lost and Kenesaw Mountain were on

-June 20th and 27th, and we advanced to the Chattahoochie

-river, via Marietta, Georgia, and then to the battle

-of Peach Tree Creek.</p>

-

-<p>The Georgia campaign, from May 8th until the evacuation

-of Atlanta on September 2, 1864, a period of four

-months, was one continuous battle. The marching

-through Georgia was a glorious achievement, and will

-ever be recorded as one of the most brilliant feats in this

-or any other war. In Sherman’s grand march to the

-sea and the siege and capture of Savannah, Georgia, the

-Twenty-ninth did its full share. It was engaged

-from December 10th to the 21st, when it entered the

-city of Savannah. On January 27, 1865, we moved on

-the campaign through the Carolinas, and were engaged

-in the following battles, and skirmishes of this campaign;<span class="pagenum" id="Page_158">[158]</span>

-Averysboro, North Carolina, on March 16th; Bentonville,

-North Carolina, on March 19, 1865, and marching to

-Goldsboro on March 24th. After Johnston’s army at

-Raleigh, North Carolina, and the final march through

-Virginia to Washington in May, 1865, we took part in

-the grand review, thence to Louisville, Kentucky, on to

-Camp Taylor at Cleveland, Ohio, and home. The regiment

-was in the service nearly four years, and it is but

-justice to state that during its entire term it was <em>never

-driven from its position by direct assault</em>.</p>

-

-<p>

-This ebook was transcribed by a native of the state of Ohio.

-</p>

-

-<p>

-This book transcription is dedicated to

-Thadeus “Ted” Slade, also a native Ohioan and the biggest

-Civil War history buff I know.

-</p>

-

-<p>

-Some punctuation has been standardized.

-Some alternate spellings may have been retained.

-Some obvious misspellings and typographical

-errors/omissions have been corrected.

-Any other changes are noted below.

-</p>

-

-<p>Some inconsistencies in human or place names were corrected by

-correlating with names elsewhere in the text.</p>

-

-<p>The cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed

-in the public domain.</p>

-

-<p>The <a href="#ERRATA">errata</a> from the original book

-was applied to this text.</p>

-

-<p>p. <a href="#Page_60">60</a>: Inserted a probable missing

-beginning of paragraph. (“[It] is perhaps unnecessary”)</p>

-

-<p>p. <a href="#Page_64">64</a>: Corrected year in chapter

-description from 1862 to 1863. The Battle of Chancellorsville

-took place in 1863, and the end of the prior chapter also

-indicates we are in mid-1863 at this point in the journal.</p>

-

-<p>p. <a href="#Page_120">120</a>: Corrected date “August 2st”

-to August 1st (“August 1st to 3d, hot firing all the time.”).

-The phrasing “to” vs. “and” makes a date range of larger than two

-days likely, and it’s more reasonable to believe the printer

-misplaced 2 for 1, than misplaced “st” for “nd”.</p>

-

-<p>p. <a href="#Page_143">143</a>: Corrected time from 6:30 to 9:30

-(“at 9:30 fell in and marched six miles as rear guard to the

-Twentieth army corps”). It’s not logical that they would move

-from 8:00am back to 6:30am in the journal. The printer presumably

-set 6 in place of 9, or inverted the 9.</p>

-

-<p>p. <a href="#Page_232">232</a>: Corrected the discharge date for

-John H. Finneman (confirmed using records found on civilwarindex.com

-on January 23, 2021). As printed, the date was June 18, 1865.</p>

-

-<p>p. <a href="#Page_241">241</a>: Corrected Lysander T. King’s

-company from “T” to “F” per the company F listing on p. <a href="#Page_206">206</a>.</p>

+<p>On the twentieth anniversary of the organization of
+the Twenty-ninth regiment Ohio Veteran volunteer infantry,
+Comrade J. H. SeCheverell was instructed to prepare
+a history of the same, and the undersigned were
+appointed a committee to supervise its publication.
+Comrade SeCheverell, after months of perplexing labor,
+completed the manuscript which was examined by us in
+Cleveland, July 19, 1882. It was then decided to issue
+fifty proof copies of the work to be put into the hands
+of members of the regiment for such additions or corrections
+as should be found necessary. This was done, and
+after the return of the proofs and the incorporation of
+whatever corrections they contained, Comrade SeCheverell
+visited Akron, and spent several days with Colonel
+Schoonover, to whom was intrusted the corrections
+for that vicinity, and it is with no small degree of satisfaction
+that we now present the work to the comrades
+and friends of the regiment with our hearty endorsement,
+believing it <em>as complete and perfect as it is possible
+to make it</em>.</p>

+
+<p>In the following pages no attempt at literary gush is
+made, the design being simply to preserve from oblivion
+the record of the valiant deeds of this, the bravest of the
+brave regiments from the Buckeye State, that in the dim,
+distant future, when each comrade shall have answered
+to his last earthly roll-call and gone to the “grand
+review” with the many whose bones now repose in that
+far away country of the orange and the magnolia, those
+left behind may not forget the sacrifices made, and the
+untold dangers endured for that flag, the beautiful, starry
+emblem of a now united people, whose supremacy preserved
+for them the blessings of this great country, the
+best beneath the ethereal vault of heaven.</p>
+
+<p>The data from which the journal portion of the volume
+is composed was obtained from members of the regiment,
+who certify to its correctness. Colonel Jonas
+Schoonover furnished, from Atlanta to Washington.</p>
+
+<p>The reader will mark the entire absence of personal
+laudation so common in works of this class, and the
+crowding of a few favored ones to the front to the exclusion
+of the hundreds of equally brave and meritorious
+men in perhaps lowly positions. That the fortunes of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[10]</span>
+war brought many forward with flattering prominence is
+most true, and that thousands who wore the simple
+blouse of blue and carried the musket were possessed of
+merit as great is also true. To have been a member of
+the Twenty-ninth Regiment Ohio Veteran Volunteers is
+glory enough for a lifetime. If you did your duty, it is
+well; if you failed, printers’ ink will not make a hero of
+you. Then let each be content with the happy assurance
+that he did what he could for the flag.</p>
+
+<p>The writer would acknowledge in an especial manner
+his obligations to L. D. Drum, adjutant-general of the
+United States army, for the very complete casualty list at
+the close of the volume; also, to Samuel B. Smith, adjutant-general
+of Ohio, Hon. E. B. Taylor, Colonel
+Edward Hayes, Jonas Schoonover, Captain R. H. Baldwin,
+George W. Holloway; the members of the very
+efficient revisory committee, Captains D. W. Thomas, T.
+W. Nash, Lieutenant T. E. Hoyt, Sergeant E. F. Mason,
+and C. H. Coon; the Ashtabula Sentinel, Jefferson
+Gazette, and the Akron Daily News, for numerous
+courtesies extended to him, during the preparation of
+this work; and to each comrade and friend who has aided
+him in his labors, to name all of whom would require
+many pages. He has conscientiously endeavored to
+make the volume free from errors. If he has succeeded
+it will be the first of its kind. However, such as it is, it
+is presented to the regiment and its friends with the
+belief that it contains much of value.</p>

+
+<h2 class="nobreak" id="INTRODUCTION">INTRODUCTION.</h2>
+</div>
+
+<p>The author of this volume has honored me with an
+invitation to write an “Introduction.” A book without
+a preface would be an anomaly: in other words, out of
+harmony with established usage; not strictly important,
+but answering much the same purpose as the “whereas”
+preceding the resolutions of the convention.</p>
+
+<p>I have not been permitted to read the author’s manuscript,
+yet I do not hesitate to assure the reader that as
+he peruses the pages of the book he will find much to
+entertain and profit. To the veteran who enlisted and
+fought in the historic “Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran
+volunteer infantry” it will be read with especial interest.
+The eye will moisten, and the heart swell with mingled
+emotions as he is reminded again of the varying scenes
+of the camp, the march, and the battle. Others, too
+young to remember anything of the war, but who have
+heard the stories of the conflict from their fathers, will
+read this historic sketch of the old regiment with the
+greatest avidity.</p>
+
+<p>We well remember the author as “Hamp,” the drummer
+boy of Company B, his boyish look, with his neatly-fitting
+suit of blue, and the tenor drum suspended from
+his neck, while with nimble fingers he plied the ebony
+sticks in beating the tattoo, reveille, or the “long roll.”</p>
+
+<p>He has done a real and invaluable service to his comrades
+in gathering up and condensing in neat and durable<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[12]</span>
+form so many interesting facts relating to the work of a
+noble regiment. So much, at least, is saved from
+oblivion.</p>
+
+<p>In writing the history of any war only a mere outline
+can be thought of. Anything like a full and detailed
+account of what happened is out of the question.
+Neither time nor space would permit.</p>
+
+<p>The multiplied thousands who carried their muskets
+and knapsacks on foot all over “Dixie,” and who really
+did the hard work of the conflict, must be massed in
+history even as in war they were massed against the foe.
+Their individual deeds of daring and suffering were not
+a whit behind those of the great Wellingtons, Washingtons,
+and Grants. The latter were in positions to glide
+easily into history, and have their heroic deeds emblazoned
+and read in the books of every nation. The
+former may have loved their country as well and fought
+as bravely for her honor, and yet die in obscurity, “to
+fortune and to fame unknown.”</p>
+
+<p>Dr. SeCheverell has doubtless done his best under the
+circumstances to do justice to the name of every member
+of the old Twenty-ninth. It was known as the Giddings’
+regiment, in honor of the Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, for
+twenty consecutive years a member of the lower house
+of Congress.</p>
+
+<p>Perhaps no man during his time did more than Mr.
+Giddings to create public opinion in favor of the freedom
+of the slave. The regiment was raised almost entirely
+within the bounds of his old district, and it was fitting
+that it should bear his name. But I remember that
+when recruiting it a frequent objection to enlistment was
+that should any member of the regiment be so unfortunate
+as to be taken prisoner by the “Rebs,” he would
+be forthwith shot, hung, or burnt at the stake, particularly<span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[13]</span>
+on Giddings’ account, and that the name would be
+so odious in the South, and would so advertise the regiment
+that every member would be especially hunted
+down and exterminated.</p>
+
+<p>I think “Hamp” has failed utterly to ascertain that
+any prisoner from the Twenty-ninth was thus punished,
+although many of the boys were often in rebel hands.</p>
+
+<p>I have ever considered myself fortunate and honored
+in having been associated with such a regiment.</p>
+
+<p>I was duly appointed and commissioned as the first
+chaplain, holding the position one year, resigning at the
+expiration of that time, and receiving an honorable discharge
+from the service.</p>
+
+<p>Of the officers of the regiment much might be said.
+Nobody who ever knew Colonel Buckley will ever forget
+him. A brave man, a great admirer of order and discipline,
+faultlessly neat and tidy, a confirmed dyspeptic;
+yet the most ticklish and fun provoking humor often
+cropped out in his conversation and intercourse with
+men. One morning, away down between Bull Run and
+Fredericksburg, when the tired and jaded men were in
+line for the day’s march, the Colonel was in his saddle
+with his toes daintily touching the stirrups, his pale, clean
+shaven face shaded by the visor of his blue cap, from
+beneath which his practiced eye swept the whole regiment
+at a glance, while his well-polished sword, firmly
+gripped, stood perpendicular, resting against the shoulder;
+with a stentorian voice he published the following
+order: “Men of the Twenty-ninth, let there be no
+straggling on the march to-day. But if any of you do
+straggle take Twenty-ninth off from your caps and put
+on One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania.”</p>
+
+<p>The joke on the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania
+was fully appreciated and immensely enjoyed (a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">[14]</span>
+regiment noted for straggling). With roars of laughter
+the boys shouldered their muskets and knapsacks for
+another hard day’s march through the pine barrens.</p>
+
+<p>Lieutenant-colonel Clark is remembered as a staunch
+advocate of temperance, whose interests were ever for
+the men.</p>
+
+<p>Major Clemmer, as a genial, bluff soldier, whose songs
+often enlivened the dreariness of the camp or bivouac;
+and Quartermaster Gibbs, as a man of prompt execution,
+who expected equal promptness from others. Many
+anecdotes and incidents of them could be narrated
+by the page, but I remember that the introduction
+to the volume is not the place for sketches of this kind;
+and I fear that I have already introduced much that does
+not strictly belong to this part of the book. I beg pardon
+for any seeming trespass in this direction.</p>
+
+<p>This introduction, written in the midst of other pressing
+duties, with frequent interruptions, now most affectionately

+
+<p>I am happy to enjoy this privilege of saying a few

+My prayer is that God will bless every surviving member

+of life is over, we may wear the victor’s crown in heaven.</p>

+<p class="center"><small>The South Preparing for War&mdash;The Fall of Sumter&mdash;The Grand
+Rally to the Support of the Flag&mdash;Formation of the Regiment.</small></p>
+
+<p>President Lincoln, in his inaugural address of March
+4, 1861, said: “I have no purpose, directly or indirectly,
+to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States
+where it exists. I believe that I have no lawful right,
+and I have no inclination to do so.” The South had
+apparently decided otherwise, and continued the preparations
+for secession, begun under the administration
+of, and so ably seconded by that old imbecile, James Buchanan.</p>
+
+<p>The outlook became so fraught with danger to the
+Union, that on April 7th a naval expedition sailed from
+New York to the relief of Fort Sumter. Its arrival off
+Charleston harbor was followed by a furious bombardment
+of the fort by the rebel batteries of General Beauregard.
+The capitulation on April 13th, of the little
+handful of gallant men who so bravely defended their
+country’s flag, was followed by an outburst of patriotic
+indignation perhaps never before witnessed in the history
+of the world. In an incredibly short space of
+time the President’s call for seventy-five thousand men<span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">[18]</span>
+was filled by citizens eagerly marching to the defense
+of the National capital.</p>
+
+<p>The rebels meanwhile were busily engaged in appropriating
+or destroying the available arms and munitions
+of war belonging to the Government. At Bull Run, a
+few miles from Washington, General Beauregard massed
+his rebel horde, and here, on July 21st, General McDowell
+gratified the insane “On to Richmond” cry, by giving
+them battle. The result was the complete overthrow of
+the Union army, which retreated in the wildest disorder
+to Washington. This event cast a deep gloom over
+the entire North (barring the copperhead element).
+More than twice the time allowed by the knowing(?)
+ones to crush the Rebellion (sixty days) had elapsed,
+and yet it was growing stronger every day. The North
+was not yet awake to the magnitude of the work it had
+undertaken. The first patriotic outburst was on the
+wane; the sympathy of England and the encouragement
+given to the rebels by the “copperheads” in the North,
+gave a prestige to the Southern cause which, to many,
+bespoke the final success of treason. In this dark hour
+of our country’s peril, that brave old hero, Joshua R.
+Giddings, with B. F. Wade, E. B. Woodbury, and other
+well known associates, feeling that they had been disappointed
+in the acts of another regiment, made up in
+part of soldiers recruited in this district, obtained permission
+to organize regiment number Twenty-nine, which
+should be made up as far as possible, of those in political
+sympathy with the projectors. The report of the
+soldiers already returned from the three months’ service,
+and who were generally ready to go again, seemed to indicate
+who they wished for commanders. Major Lewis
+P. Buckley, of Akron, educated at West Point, was generally
+desired as colonel, and Thomas Clark, of Cleveland,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">[19]</span>
+formerly a cadet at Norwich university, Vermont,
+was for the same reason selected to commence the work.
+He was accordingly appointed major, on the 13th of
+August. Two days later he was mustered into service,
+and ordered to report at once to Jefferson, select a suitable
+location, and organize a camp. On the 17th he
+arrived at Jefferson, and a couple of days were spent in
+examining fields offered; at last the grounds of the
+County Agricultural Society were selected. A part of
+company A reported on the 19th, and company B in the
+afternoon of the same day. The camp equipage arrived
+on the 20th. On the 27th company C reported, and on
+September 10th, company D, and with this company
+came Colonel Buckley, who had just completed his service
+in the Nineteenth regiment.</p>
+
+<p>Following are the companies, in the order they entered
+the service, with the commanders and the localities
+from which they were recruited: Company A, Captain
+William F. Fitch, was recruited in Jefferson and vicinity,
+and Hartsgrove. Company B, Captain Wilbur F. Stevens,
+was recruited in Pierpont and vicinity, and Harpersfield.
+Company C, Captain Edward Hayes, was
+recruited in Andover and vicinity, Gustavus, Ohio, and
+Espyville, Pennsylvania. Company D, Captain Pulaski
+C. Hard, was recruited in Akron, Summit county. Company
+E, Captain Horatio Luce, was recruited in Conneaut
+and surrounding townships. Company F, Captain
+John F. Morse, was recruited in Painesville and Mentor,
+Lake county, and Montville, Geauga county. Company
+G, Captain John S. Clemmer, was recruited in Akron
+and vicinity. (Second Lieutenant W. P. Williamson, of
+this company, who was shot dead at the battle of Winchester,
+Virginia, March 23, 1862, was the first man in
+the regiment to die by rebel hands.) Company H, Captain<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[20]</span>
+Jonas Schoonover, was recruited in Akron and vicinity.
+Company I, Captain Russell B. Smith, was
+recruited in Medina county, and by transfers, and company
+K, Captain Alden P. Steele, was recruited from
+the various townships in Ashtabula county.</p>
+
+<p>The adverse causes before referred to, materially retarded
+the enlistment of the regiment, and it was not
+until about December 1st that the different company
+organizations were completed and the following staff
+officers elected:</p>
+
+<p>Colonel Lewis P. Buckley, Akron, Summit county.</p>
+
+<p>Lieutenant-colonel Thomas Clark, Cleveland, Cuyahoga
+county.</p>
+
+<p>Major John S. Clemmer, Mogadore, Summit county.</p>

+
+<p>During the interim came the easy days of soldier life.
+Ah! those happy, golden days of camp life, when, with
+guard mount, battalion drill, and dress parade, the time
+passed swiftly away, and each heart beat high with patriotic
+desire for early marching orders; days looked back
+to from the dreary bivouac in the snow, tentless, and
+with clothing in tatters, scarce covering the form from
+the bitter, cutting winds of winter, or in the drizzling
+rain on the lonely outpost when sharp-eyed rebels only
+waited for the opportunity to send the leaden messenger
+of death whizzing in your direction. Sometimes the
+“boys” thought the rations were not sufficiently “gilt-edged,”
+quite too plain in fact, for the savers of the
+country’s honor, yet how often, while trying, almost in
+vain, with the half-pint of raw meal to keep the soul and
+the poor emaciated body together in those hell devised
+starvation traps&mdash;Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and
+Salisbury&mdash;did the brave fellows turn with longing hearts
+to the bounteous commissary at old Camp Giddings.
+Fears were oft expressed lest the war would close before
+the Twenty-ninth should be permitted to add its mite to
+the support of the flag. How needless they were the
+rolls show; more than one-third (five hundred and forty)
+of the one thousand five hundred and thirty-two members
+of the regiment, were either killed, wounded, or
+missing in action, and one hundred and fifty-seven died
+of disease. The colors, too, which waved so grandly in
+the sharp winter air, that long agone Christmas morning
+in 1861, are now in shreds, rent and torn by the leaden<span class="pagenum" id="Page_22">[22]</span>
+hail through which they were carried to glorious victories.</p>
+
+<p>This beautiful stand of colors was presented to the
+regiment on Wednesday, November 27th, by Hon. J. R.
+Giddings, on behalf of the donors, the ladies of Ashtabula
+and Summit counties. Mr. Giddings spoke as follows:
+“Gentlemen, officers and soldiers. Before entering
+upon the particular duty assigned me on the present
+occasion, I may be permitted to congratulate you
+and the country, upon the completion of your regimental
+organization and the perfection of your preparation
+for the field. I desire you at all times to bear in
+mind the causes which led to its formation. The present
+rebellion has its origin far back in history. Its first
+overt acts were put forth in Congress by subjecting the
+people of the free States to gag rules, by striking down
+the right of petition, by arraigning and publicly censuring
+Representatives for the faithful discharge of duty, by
+annexing, unconstitutionally, slave territory, and extending
+and strengthening the encroachments of slavery. To
+these violent encroachments upon the constitutional
+rights of the free States, this Western Reserve has from
+the first, presented a very general resistance....</p>
+
+<p>“The ladies have prepared a splendid National and
+regimental stand of colors, and have imposed on me the
+pleasing duty of presenting them to the regiment. In
+all past ages civilized nations have gone forth to war
+under their own banner, on which was inscribed some
+device, figure, or emblem, peculiar to such nation.
+Thus each tribe among the Israelites had its particular
+banner. The early Christians fought under the cross,
+the Romans under the golden eagle, the Mohammedans
+under the crescent. The founders of our government
+selected for their colors a groundwork of blue, representing<span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">[23]</span>
+immutable justice and unlimited power, on which
+the stars, representing light, are twinkling in the vaulted
+heavens, while in mid ether the bird of Jove is floating,
+a fitting representation of the ease and power with which
+liberty and civilization are gliding over the earth; while
+the stars and stripes of red and white represent the vital
+principles and purity of our institutions.</p>
+
+<p>[Addressing Colonel Buckley]: “To you, sir, as
+commander, I present these beautiful standards, for the
+use and benefit of the regiment. On behalf of the fair
+donors I confide these National and regimental standards
+to the care of yourself, your gallant officers and
+men. Wherever you go let them be borne aloft and respected
+as the emblem of universal freedom to all who
+seek your protection. Preserve them unstained, except
+by the blood of your enemies. Bear in mind that you
+go forth to fight the battles of the human race for all
+coming time; and should the roar of cannon, the rattling
+of muskets, the clashing of sabres, the din and
+smoke of battle surround you, remember the cause in
+which you are engaged, and be assured that if you fall,
+we who are left will care for your widows and children.
+Your own heroic deeds shall be enshrined in our memories,
+recorded in our history, admired by coming generations,
+and approved by a holy and just God.”</p>
+
+<p>Colonel Buckley replied: “Respected Sir&mdash;I receive
+this stand of colors in behalf of the Twenty-ninth
+regiment. I return through you to the noble and
+patriotic ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties their
+grateful thanks; and whenever and wherever it is unfurled
+to the breeze, and we look upon its stars and
+stripes, may we then remember the generous donors and
+the vow we this day make. This flag, the flag of our
+country, which has been our pride and our boast, and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">[24]</span>
+which is respected by all civilized nations; this flag,
+thank God, shall yet wave triumphantly wherever it has
+been struck down by the ruthless arm of the traitors:
+and, companions, whenever we look upon this beautiful
+flag may it inspire us to redouble our energies to do our
+duty to our beloved country, and if God in his providence
+permits us to return to home and kindred, may
+this flag come back with us to bear witness that the
+Twenty-ninth regiment Ohio volunteers was in the
+thickest of the fight.</p>
+
+<p>“Sir, you have spoken in high commendation of my
+command. I can assure you I feel myself honored in
+having command of such a regiment. It will be my
+pride and ambition, with my fellow-officers to make it in
+all things pertaining to a well drilled and well disciplined
+regiment, one of the best in Ohio. And now, fellow-soldiers,
+in the presence of this assembly, and before
+high heaven, we swear upon the altar of our country to
+defend this flag so long as there shall be one true heart
+and strong arm to hold it to the breeze.”</p>
+
+<p>At last the “boys’” impatience to go anywhere but
+here, was gratified by an order to move to Camp Chase,
+near Columbus, Ohio, the date December 25th; and
+right here it may not be amiss to give an extract from
+an editorial in the Ashtabula Sentinel, as showing what
+the people of Jefferson thought of the regiment:</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot">
+<p>“They leave Jefferson with the respect and esteem of
+our citizens as an orderly and well behaved body of men.
+They have been over three months within our quiet village,
+during which time no disturbance has occurred and
+no depredations have been committed. They have
+proved themselves honorable men, the best evidence that
+they will be brave soldiers. When they are heard from
+in the fight we have no fears of a bad account.”</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>The Departure from Camp Giddings&mdash;At the Front&mdash;Death of Lander&mdash;Advance
+up the Valley&mdash;Winchester.</small></p>
+
+<p>Christmas morning, 1861, dawned clear, with the
+earth bountifully covered with snow, and soon the busy
+preparations for this the first march were apparent everywhere.
+Knapsacks were packed, tents were struck, and
+the camp equipage snugly put into shape for transportation
+to Ashtabula, and at 10 o’clock the drums beat off. Then
+the regiment filed out of the enclosure, bidding a
+fond good-bye, many for the last time, to the old camp,
+up through the town, where everybody was waiting to
+wish the “boys” God speed. “Head of column left,”
+and the Twenty-ninth regiment was en-route for Ashtabula
+and the front, followed by the prayers of fathers,
+mothers, brothers, sisters, and sweethearts, that its every
+effort might be crowned with success, and that, if heaven
+so willed, all might return safely to the arms of loved
+ones, “when the cruel war was over.” How beautiful
+they looked in their new uniform, and how gaily the
+bayonets glistened in the bright sunlight as each man
+kept step to the music.</p>
+
+<p>Arriving at Ashtabula, the regiment took cars, and
+was soon whirling rapidly towards Columbus, where it
+arrived the following day.</p>
+
+<p>On disembarking from the cars, a march of four miles
+on the National pike to the west brought the regiment to
+Camp Chase, where it was assigned to barracks, and the
+sweets (?) of soldier life began to be more perceptible.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_35">[35]</span>
+While lying here, the regiment attended the inauguration
+of David Tod as Governor of Ohio, and perfected itself
+in the school of the soldier. On the 26th day of January,
+1862, the long roll again sounded; the Twenty-ninth
+regiment fell in, and marched to the depot, a distance
+of four miles. It took cars, and steamed away for
+Dixie, passing through Newark and Zanesville, and
+across the Ohio river at Bellair, thence via the Baltimore
+&amp; Ohio railroad through the mountains of West Virginia
+to a point some six miles below Cumberland, Maryland,
+where it made its first camp in Dixie. There it was assigned
+to the left flank of the Third brigade (the Seventh
+Ohio volunteer infantry occupying the right), Colonel E.
+B. Tyler commanding, and here it may be well to state
+that from this time until the Seventh regiment was discharged
+the service (July 8, 1864), the two regiments
+occupied the same position, engaged in the same battles,
+and endured an equal amount of the hard service incident
+to the several campaigns. The Twenty-ninth remained
+in active service for nearly a year after the
+discharge of its well-bred friends of the Seventh and
+until the collapse of the Rebellion. This for the benefit
+of those who imagine that only one regiment was recruited
+in Northern Ohio.</p>
+
+<p>On February 5, 1862, a general movement was ordered
+to entrap the forces of Stonewall Jackson, then occupying
+Romney. The Twenty-ninth and its brigade took
+cars to French’s store, and marched some twenty miles
+to a point between Romney and Winchester to intercept
+the retreat of the rebels. The attempt was futile, however,
+as those whom the federals sought had flown ere
+the designated point was reached. This march was a
+terrible one, and told heavily on the men, many of whom
+succumbed to disease incident to exposure to the intense<span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">[36]</span>
+cold, the fording of streams whose icy waters were often
+waist deep, and the general hardships, were sent to hospital
+at Cumberland, and never returned to duty. Returning
+the following day, the regiment bivouacked at a
+point some eight miles from the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad,
+known as Pine Levels or the Heights of Hampshire.
+Here it remained some ten days exposed to the
+intense cold, without tents, few blankets, on short rations,
+and no cooking utensils. Rude brush enclosures were
+constructed, which served the same purpose as Artemus
+Ward’s window sash, sort of “tangle the cold” or “keep
+out the coarsest.” It was by the greatest effort that the
+men were kept from freezing. This sort of thing seemed
+a pretty tough introduction to the “Sunny South,” but
+hardships of this kind became the normal experience of
+the Twenty-ninth regiment, and the sunny spots which
+occasionally intervened were duly appreciated.</p>
+
+<p>The next move was to the eastward to Paw Paw station
+on the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad, near which the
+Twenty-ninth and its brigade went into camp. February
+22d, Washington’s birthday, was duly observed. A
+general review was indulged in. The streets were prettily
+trimmed with evergreens; and arches, and other
+pretty devices were numerous. The Twenty-ninth were
+domiciled in small and nearly worn out wall tents.</p>
+
+<p>On Saturday, March 1st, as the shades of evening
+were falling, the Twenty-ninth and its command marched
+with two days’ rations, in the direction of Winchester,
+Virginia, the object being the capture of that important
+point. After an all night’s march the command halted,
+and, in a blinding snow storm, waited for further orders.
+At 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> a counter-march was ordered, and at
+about midnight the old camp at Paw Paw was reached.
+The object of this move was to attend the remains of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">[37]</span>
+brave General Lander to the cars, which was accomplished
+on the following day. All the troops in the vicinity
+were present. At 9 o’clock on the morning of Saturday,
+March 8th, the command struck tents and
+marched to the railroad; at night took cars and moved
+in the direction of Martinsburg, en route for Winchester.
+Some two or three days were occupied in reaching
+the former place, as extreme caution was necessary. A
+burned bridge at Back creek stopped further steam locomotion,
+and on the 11th the command moved forward
+through Martinsburg, encamping some two miles out on
+the Winchester road. Here General James Shields, of
+some celebrity in the Mexican war, assumed command
+of the division, and the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania
+infantry volunteers was added to the brigade.
+The following morning the column continued the forward
+movement, under orders to join General Banks, in
+his attack on Winchester. The rebels retreated, and
+Shields’ division went into camp to the north of Winchester,
+some four miles out on the Martinsburg pike.</p>
+
+<p>When the rebels first occupied Virginia General Johnston
+(commanding the extreme left of Beauregard’s army)
+took possession of Winchester. Troops from here destroyed
+the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad and constantly
+harrassed our forces in the direction of Harper’s Ferry
+and Cumberland. It was of great importance that the
+Union arms gain and hold possession of this point,
+hence the concentration of Federal troops in this
+vicinity.</p>
+
+<p>Skirmishing with the enemy was a daily occurrence,
+and, on the morning of March 20th, a reconnoissance in
+force was made up the valley to Strasburg. General
+Shields, with the Twenty-ninth and its brigade, numbering
+some six thousand men, moved direct to that point,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">[38]</span>
+while Colonel Mason’s brigade advanced on the Front
+Royal road. At Cedar creek a lively artillery duel
+transpired, during which the rebels succeeded in burning
+the bridge. The following morning the entire command
+fell back to its camp below Winchester. This was a march
+which tested the men’s power of endurance to its utmost.
+The rain fell lightly but continuously during the
+day. For rations the men had barely one cracker each,
+and yet they made the entire distance&mdash;twenty-two
+miles&mdash;in seven hours, halting only a few minutes about
+noon.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>The Battle of Winchester or Kernstown&mdash;Stonewall Jackson Whipped.</small></p>
+
+<p>At Kernstown, some four miles south of Winchester,
+Jackson’s command, numbering fully fifteen thousand
+men, was massed, and on March 22d attacked the Union
+outposts. The citizens of Winchester, who, by the way,
+were about as thoroughly imbued with treason as at any
+point within the writer’s knowledge in the whole of the
+chivalrous (?) South, were in high glee at the prospect of
+being rid of those odious Lincoln hirelings, and some
+were so sanguine of success to the Southern arms that
+they prepared elegant repasts for the victors. However
+that may be, the rebel horde did not enter Winchester
+at this time, except, perhaps, a few dead ones carried
+there for burial.</p>
+
+<p>Soon after the firing began the First and Second
+brigades of General Shields’ division were moved to the
+front, and a lively skirmish ensued resulting in the repulse
+of the enemy. General Shields was wounded
+quite severely during this brief engagement, and at night,
+when active hostilities ceased, he retired to Winchester.
+The dawn of Sunday, March 23d, was heralded by the
+rapid boom of artillery and the lively rattle of musketry,
+as the advance of the two armies resumed the skirmishing
+of the previous afternoon. This was continued during
+nearly the entire forenoon. About noon the long
+roll beat throughout our camp; quickly the men fell into
+line, and in columns of fours, under command of brave
+Colonel Buckley, marched rapidly, a portion of the distance<span class="pagenum" id="Page_40">[40]</span>
+at a double quick, toward the point of attack.
+On reaching Winchester the regiment halted, came to a
+front, loaded their pieces, and remained until the artillery
+and trains had passed. We then moved on the road
+leading to Kernstown, some two or three miles, and
+again halted. After some vexatious delay the regiment
+again resumed the march and soon reached the scene of
+the action, which was about seven miles from Winchester.
+The enemy were under General Thomas J. Jackson
+(Stonewall). His right extending across the Pike leading
+to Strasburg, and his forces on his left masked behind
+a stone fence, while at the rear for a considerable distance
+the ground was a gradual ascent covered with stumps
+and wood which were well used as cover. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment and its brigade was moved to the extreme
+right of the line, and, formed in close column, by
+division, moved forward through the timber to the attack.
+At close range the rebels opened a heavy fire, but
+we continued to advance, halting at a small ravine where
+we deployed in line of battle, and in this position a sharp
+and determined engagement ensued. The distance
+between the opposing forces did not exceed sixteen
+rods. Late in the afternoon an order was given the
+Third brigade to charge the rebel line. Quick as thought
+the whole line sprang forward, and with cheers sounding
+above the roar of the conflict, in the teeth of a murderous
+fire, swept down over the stone wall and at the bayonet’s
+point drove the enemy from their chosen position.
+To the rear they fled until reaching their artillery, where
+another stand was made and a rally attempted. The
+Union lead poured into their ranks with such deadly effect
+that they soon became panic-stricken, and in the
+greatest disorder retreated in whatever direction best
+offered an avenue of escape, and Stonewall Jackson, the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_41">[41]</span>
+pride of the South and by many considered the bravest
+general in the rebel army, was whipped, and that, too, by
+a force much inferior in numbers, many of whom had
+never faced death before.</p>
+
+<p>To make the victory still more sure our forces followed
+the disordered mass of fleeing rebels and captured many
+prisoners, until darkness closed over all, when our brave
+boys returned to rest upon their laurels upon the bloody
+field of carnage, bury the dead and care for the wounded.
+The result of this battle was a loss to the rebels of
+the Shenandoah valley, at that time of great importance
+to them, with casualties amounting to some five hundred
+men killed, wounded, and left on the field, and three
+hundred prisoners. The loss of the Twenty-ninth regiment
+in this action was: Five killed, seven wounded,
+two missing; aggregate fourteen. See casualties at the
+close of the volume for names.</p>

+
+<p>At early dawn on the morning of March 24th the
+Union army pushed forward in pursuit of the retreating
+rebels. The Twenty-ninth deployed as skirmishes in
+the advance. Many wounded Confederates were found
+in private houses along the line of march. About noon
+the dashing rebel cavalry officer Ashby came from cover
+and suddenly swooped down upon the regiment with
+a heavy cavalry force. Rallying by companies and
+forming squares, a well directed volley soon sent
+the rebels in haste to the rear. The pursuit of
+the fleeing rebels was continued until nightfall, when
+the regiment went into bivouac near Cedar creek. The
+next morning (25th) our columns again pushed forward
+until reaching a point a little in advance of Strasburg,
+where a halt was ordered and a camp (Kimball), established.
+Here we remained for some time, making frequent
+raids into the surrounding country and skirmishing
+almost daily with the enemy.</p>
+
+<p>April 1st the regiment again moved after the retreating
+army, and about daylight on the following morning
+indulged in some artillery firing with the rebel rear
+guards. During the month of April the regiment
+marched up the valley as far as Newmarket, passing the
+towns of Woodstock and Mount Jackson. At the latter
+place a hospital was established, and companies G and
+E were detailed for provost, and other duties, in and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">[43]</span>
+around Mount Jackson, while the remainder of the regiment
+moved up the valley to Camp Thurburn and continued
+the usual picket, camp, and guard duties.</p>
+
+<p>May 3d left camp and marched up the valley in the
+direction of Harrisburg; halted about three miles from
+town and camped for the night. May 5th, returned
+from near the town of Harrisburg and went into camp
+four miles above Newmarket, where the regiment remained
+until the 12th day of May, when it left the
+Shenandoah valley at Newmarket on the long march to
+Fredericksburg, marched to Luray, and encamped for
+the night (marched eighteen miles). Thirteenth, moved

+Fifth, marched at 5 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, marched four miles, halted,
+put up our tents, and prepared to be comfortable, when
+at 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> we were ordered to move. This was
+occasioned by the close proximity of the rebel batteries
+on the opposite side of the river. The regiment marched
+about one mile and again halted for the night. Sixth,
+ordered to march at 4 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, fell into line at 5, moved
+two miles, halted, stacked arms, soon fell in and
+marched about two miles farther, pitched our tents, and
+at 6 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> fell in and marched back to the place the regiment
+left in the morning, where we arrived at 12 at
+night, and went into camp. Saturday, 7th, the regiment
+was up at 4 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> and marched at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> (the baggage
+was ordered to Luray and Front Royal; Sergeant C. H.

+firing at Cross Keys on the west side of the Shenandoah
+river and mountain. The regiment moved on up the
+river and about 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> were in sight of the
+rebels, whose ambulances and train were moving rapidly
+in retreat in the direction of Port Republic from the
+battle of Cross Keys. The Union forces were under
+the command of Major-general John C. Fremont, and
+the Confederate army commanded by Major-general
+Thomas J. Jackson. The Union army took shelter in a

+near Port Republic, Virginia, and bivouacked for the
+night.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Battle of Port Republic&mdash;The Twenty-ninth Suffer Great Loss.</small></p>
+
+<p>On June 9th, in the dim light of early morning the
+enemy began to move, and soon our artillery opened a
+brisk fire on them. The Twenty-ninth regiment, under
+command of Colonel Buckley, was ordered to fall in,
+and at 6:45 o’clock marched out of the timber into the
+open field, and moved forward a short distance, when
+the men unslung knapsacks and other equipage and,
+reduced to light marching order, advanced by the right
+flank, and when near the rebel position came into line
+on the double quick. While doing so we were obliged
+to pass a board fence; and at this critical time the rebels
+opened a heavy fire of musketry, but the regiment
+moved steadily forward and took position in the open
+field. The rebels in front of our right wing were behind
+a strong post and rail fence.</p>
+
+<p>From the base of the mountain to the Shenandoah
+river was about one-half mile. The extreme left of our
+line extended into the timber and near the base of the
+mountain with the right flank extending to the river.
+The Fifth, Sixty-sixth and Seventh Ohio regiments were
+on our left, and the Seventh Virginia, Seventh, Thirteenth
+and Fourteenth Indiana on our right. The Twenty-ninth
+being about the right center regiment during the
+battle, and at this time in support of Huntington’s battery,
+which was belching forth its shot and shell, doing
+deadly execution in the ranks of the advancing rebels.
+When in close range the rebels charged. Reserving our<span class="pagenum" id="Page_47">[47]</span>
+fire until they were almost upon us, the order was given,
+and with a yell the entire line poured its leaden hail
+into the gray clad columns of the chivalry, producing
+fearful slaughter, and following with a charge so impetuous
+that they were forced to retire from their secure position
+behind the fence, and here, for more than three
+hours and a half, our brave fellows, though outnumbered
+ten to one by the enemy and fighting against fate, kept
+them at bay and held the position. During this charge
+it is said that Allen Mason, of company C, Twenty-ninth
+regiment, captured the colors of the Seventh
+Louisiana Tigers, and Lieutenant Gregory and a part of
+company F made prisoners of twenty-five of the same
+regiment. At last the little handful, who had so gallantly
+contended against such fearful odds, were forced
+to retire. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved to the rear,
+perhaps an eighth of a mile, and came to a halt, holding
+the rebel forces in check until the entire Union forces
+had passed to the rear. In the meantime the rebels had
+opened fire upon us with a battery at close range, which
+did fearful execution in our rapidly decimating ranks.
+When all our troops had passed, our regiment faced to
+the right and moved obliquely into the timber; the rebels
+in the meantime passed down the road and we were
+nearly surrounded, and now, for a distance of nearly
+two miles occurred a desperate struggle for freedom.
+The men fought with the desperation born of despair.
+Brave old Colonel Buckley (who before beginning the
+day’s business addressed the regiment, saying: “Aim
+low, men, and at every shot let a traitor fall!”) on
+foot, his own and one other horse having been disabled
+by a shot, rallied the men, and with sword in hand with
+them succeeded in cutting their way through the cordon
+of gray devils almost surrounding them, and escaped to<span class="pagenum" id="Page_48">[48]</span>
+the mountains near, where some one hundred men of the
+different regiments of the Third brigade, with Colonel
+Buckley at their head, bivouacked for the night. The
+small remainder of the regiment, except those killed,
+wounded or captured, succeeded in reaching the main
+army. Captain Baldwin says that those who reached the
+main army of the Twenty-ninth regiment numbered only
+thirteen officers and men.</p>
+
+<p>The night succeeding this eventful day of blood and
+carnage was spent amid the gloom and darkness of the
+forest. The men gathered about their brave commander
+as if to shield him from the damps of night, their
+thoughts turning meanwhile to the absent comrades,
+many of whom, how many they knew not, were lying,
+still and ghastly, upon the bloody field, a sacrifice to the
+incompetency of the general commanding. The day
+following, the little band began its weary march to the
+rear, seeking shelter at night in some unused furnace
+buildings. The next day they came in sight of the rear
+guard of the retreating army, where they found the small
+remnant of the Twenty-ninth, who had escaped death or
+capture, and who, when they saw their beloved colonel
+alive and well, fairly rent the very heavens above with
+their glad shouts of welcome.</p>
+
+<p>The number of the Union army engaged in this battle
+was some twenty-five hundred, and could form but one
+line of battle, while Stonewall Jackson’s official report
+shows his army to have numbered some <em>thirty-four thousand</em>.
+The Twenty-ninth regiment lost heavily in this
+battle. The aggregate was: Killed, 12; wounded, 33;
+captured, 105; total, 150.</p>
+
+<p>After the battle the Twenty-ninth regiment moved
+down the valley to Luray, where the command encamped
+for a few days’ rest, then forward to Front Royal, and on<span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">[49]</span>
+to Alexandria, reaching that point on June 27th, encamping
+on a rise of ground immediately adjacent to
+the line of fortifications. The Third brigade was now
+composed of the Seventh, Fifth, Sixty-sixth, and Twenty-ninth
+Ohio regiments, in the order named. General
+Shields having resigned by reason of McDowell’s misrepresentations
+in relation to the ill-advised battle of
+Port Republic, General Sturgis, who has recently received
+so much adverse criticism through the press of
+the country, for his brutal and inhuman treatment of his
+men, was placed temporarily in command. After lying
+at this point for nearly one month orders were received
+to move to the aid of General McClellan on the Peninsula,
+and we embarked on transports, but the order
+was countermanded and the Third brigade marched
+back to its old camp.</p>
+
+<p>July 25th we were ordered to join the force of General
+Pope, then marching via Warrenton to the Rapidan
+river. Proceeding by rail to the former point the brigade
+was reorganized and attached to Banks’ Second
+corps, afterwards changed to the Twelfth army corps, as
+the First brigade of General Augur’s Second division.
+After a few days of “masterly inactivity” we marched
+in the direction of Luray. Debouching to the left on
+the road leading southward toward the Rapidan, we soon
+reached Little Washington and went into camp. While
+here the troops were reviewed by Generals Pope and
+Banks, who complimented our brigade very highly upon
+its perfection in drill and discipline. General Tyler was
+here ordered to Washington, and Brigadier-general John
+W. Geary, late colonel of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+infantry volunteers, was placed in command of our
+brigade. His regiment and Knapp’s battery were also<span class="pagenum" id="Page_50">[50]</span>
+assigned to the brigade. A forward movement in the
+direction of Culpeper Court House, Virginia (on the
+Rapidan), was begun on August 8th. Here the Confederates
+were preparing defences, and at Cedar Mountain,
+some seven miles to the southwest of our position,
+they were strongly fortified.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Cedar Mountain&mdash;Battle&mdash;Severe Loss of Life&mdash;Forward to Alexandria.</small></p>
+
+<p>August 8th, the regiment moved at 2 o’clock, advanced
+to Culpeper Court House, and went into camp; and
+at 10:40, on the morning of August 9th, moved forward
+in the direction of Cedar mountain. Halted a short
+time, and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment was
+sent to the right on an eminence as signal guard. The
+remainder of the brigade soon advanced, halting at
+intervals, as the day was insufferably hot (several men
+died this day of sunstroke). At last, passing through a
+piece of timber, we approached the open field with a
+rolling country in our front, and at 1:30, while making
+preparations for dinner (near a fine spring of water),
+skirmishing and artillery firing was heard on our right,
+which continued at intervals until 3:45, when the rebels
+appeared in heavy force, ready for battle, and the Union
+lines were formed without delay. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment (commanded by Captain W. F. Stevens, of
+Company B,) was ordered to advance and take position
+in rear of a battery which had been placed on a ridge.
+Here the regiment took position, the right resting on
+the road, and the left extending into the field, covered
+from the enemy by the hill on which the battery
+was placed. The Twenty-ninth, with other regiments of
+the brigade, was about on the right of the left wing of
+the line in open field, while the right wing extended
+across the road, and into the timber. The regiment<span class="pagenum" id="Page_52">[52]</span>
+remained in this position, supporting the battery, and
+receiving a heavy fire from the rebel artillery in our front.
+Here several men were wounded.</p>
+
+<p>At 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, we moved over the crest of the
+hill, to a cornfield some distance in advance of our previous
+position. During the advance to this new position
+a terrific cannonade opened on us, dealing great destruction
+to our ranks. Apparently every cannon of the
+enemy was let loose against us, but we never faltered in
+this march of death, despite the terrible missiles that
+were tearing through our bleeding ranks. Comrades
+were falling, and brothers dying. The mangled and
+bleeding victims of the fury and violence of war were left
+thick around us, making the ground sacred on which
+they fell; but we wavered not. Reaching a low piece
+of ground, we halted, and were ordered to lie down
+and continue firing. We remained for one hour in the
+open field, exposed to this furious storm of grape and
+canister, shot and shell. Comrades gave up their lives
+so gently that it was scarce possible to tell the living
+from the dead. The fatal missile struck the victim,
+leaving the lifeless clay in the same attitude which the
+living body occupied. During the fatal period death
+assumed a real character while life seemed but a dream.
+The engagement had now become general. The brigade
+of General Prince came up, and formed on the left of
+our regiment. The Sixty-sixth, Fifth, and Seventh Ohio
+regiments were formed on our right, in the order named.
+(The Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment was not with
+us in this engagement.)</p>
+
+<p>At a given signal the brigade arose and, with defiant
+yells, rushed forward to the charge. Prince’s brigade on
+the left moved forward with us. A sheet of flame and
+smoke burst forth from rebel batteries, musketry replied<span class="pagenum" id="Page_53">[53]</span>
+to musketry, bayonet clashed with bayonet, and cheers
+rang out against cheers, as one side or the other gained
+the advantage in this deadly conflict. Daring warmed
+into rashness, and bravery into recklessness. Hurrah!
+we force them back, their line is broken, a battery is
+almost within our grasp; when in this moment of seeming
+certain victory, fresh columns of rebel infantry rush
+upon us on the double-quick, masked batteries open on
+us at the same moment a most furious enfilading fire,
+causing our brave boys to reel and stagger. An
+order comes for us to retire, when three-fourths of our
+regiment have been placed out of the fight&mdash;dead or
+wounded. Slowly and sadly the remaining few obey the
+order, keeping our faces to the foe until fresh troops
+arrive to take our places, when we resume our position
+in the reserve near Telegraph hill. Each regiment of
+the brigade had done nobly, but all alike had suffered
+a loss so great that the four regiments together could
+not show a respectable facing front for one regiment.
+As night settled over the field of carnage and of death
+our entire army corps withdrew to the position it held
+early in the day, but our artillery kept up a desultory
+firing, with but short intervals during the night.</p>
+
+<p>The casualties of this battle were: Killed, 11;
+wounded, 26; missing, 12. Total, 49.</p>
+
+<p>Private George Williams, company F, came off the
+field with his third gun&mdash;two having been shot from his
+hands.</p>
+
+<p>During August 10th and 11th skirmishing continued.
+In the afternoon of the last-named day the 29th regiment
+was inspected. Adjutant Storer reported eighty-three
+men only present for duty.</p>
+
+<p>The Union army remained on the field three days,
+retiring, on August 12th, to Culpeper Court House,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_54">[54]</span>
+where it encamped. Our pickets, going over the battle
+field on the 13th, reported that dead horses were piled
+in promiscuous positions; dismounted cannons, wrecked
+caissons, and broken firearms were everywhere, while
+the graves of the fallen, singly and in trenches, were
+scattered over the entire field, only the freshly heaped
+up earth marking the spots. In one spot were the
+unburied bodies of a boy in blue and one in gray, their
+arms interlocked as their brave souls went out to the
+God who gave them, the one for the right, the other, it
+is hoped, forgiven for his misguided championship of
+the wrong.</p>
+
+<p>Twelfth, marched to Culpeper Court House, and went
+into camp. 13th, put up tents and prepared to live.
+14th, and all is quiet. 15th, another inspection and review.
+There is one consolation if we do have inspection
+every other day, there are so few men left that but
+little time is consumed in doing so. 16th, 17th, and
+18th, still in camp; was inspected again, and at 6 o’clock
+on the evening of the latter day, struck tents under
+orders to march; slept on our arms that night. 19th,
+marched at 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, north to the Rappahannock, a distance
+of eleven miles, and went into camp. Had only
+a small quantity of green corn to eat. 20th, all quiet in
+camp. 21st, at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> firing began, and was kept up
+along the line all day; at 7 in the evening the regiment,
+under command of Captain Schoonover, marched two
+miles and halted; company H was sent forward to the
+picket line, and the regiment moved at 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> along
+the Rappahannock; halted at 9:30; after a brief rest the
+regiment again fell in, and marched till 12 at noon without
+breakfast; sharp firing along the line; halted until
+6 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>; moved up the Rappahannock river
+two miles, halted, stacked arms, and remained up nearly<span class="pagenum" id="Page_55">[55]</span>
+all night; (rainy) no tents or blankets, made our bed
+of rails. Saturday, August 23d, at 6 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the
+artillery opened fire, and continued until 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>;
+remained on our arms all day; at 10 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>
+moved a short distance up the river, and the Twenty-ninth
+went on picket. 24th, and all is quiet; at 9:30
+<span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the artillery commenced firing, which was kept up
+continually during the day. 25th, artillery and musketry
+firing all along the line; at 8 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the Twenty-ninth
+with its brigade moved up the river four miles and
+camped for the night. 26th, no rations for breakfast,
+but after a short time some green corn was procured,
+which filled the bill. At 8 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the artillery dueling again
+commenced and was kept up the remainder of the day.
+The Twenty-ninth regiment moved one-half mile for
+shelter, remained here until 9 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when it marched
+forward until 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, of the 27th; halted, moved
+forward a distance of three miles, and again halted. At
+1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, moved in the direction of Warrenton
+Junction, and camped for the night (no rations for supper
+or breakfast). On the morning of the 28th day of
+August, the regiment moved at 5 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, marched three
+miles and halted, drew rations and moved on in the
+direction of Bristow station, and camped for the night.
+Heavy firing in our advance all day. 29th, remained in
+camp, about two miles above Bristow station. 30th,
+marched at 6 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> and halted at Bristow station,
+and remained till 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when the enemy was
+reported in our rear. The sick and disabled were moved
+to Alexandria and other points. August 31st, teams and
+trains containing camp and garrison equipage and other
+army supplies, were moved in the direction of Fairfax
+Court House.</p>
+
+<p>During the campaign under Major-general Pope from<span class="pagenum" id="Page_56">[56]</span>
+August 20th until the regiment reached Alexandria on
+the 2d day of September, 1862, it was one continuous
+march and counter-march, by day and night, moving up
+the Rappahannock as far as White Sulphur Springs. On
+the 29th and 30th of August near the Bull Run battle
+ground. A very hard battle was fought, in which the
+Nationals were forced from the field, and again late in
+the afternoon on the 1st day of September at Chantilly,
+a short distance from Fairfax Court House, a sanguinary
+battle was fought, which continued late in the evening.
+In this last engagement the Nationals held the field at
+night, and on the 2d the Union army fell back within
+the fortifications around Washington city. During the
+last two or three days of the above campaign the Twenty-ninth
+regiment was completely cut off from the main
+army, as it had been ordered to guard the quartermaster
+stores with other government property on the railroad
+at and near Bristow station, and when ordered to join its
+brigade it found the enemy in the rear, so that it was
+only by a circuitous route in the direction of Brintsville,
+and a forced march that it reached the Chantilly battlefield
+during the engagement, on September 1st.
+Here it bivouacked for the night, and on the following
+day marched to Arlington heights, via Alexandria, where
+it went into camp.</p>
+
+<p>During the last twelve days of the campaign the
+Twenty-ninth suffered severely for rations and rest, it
+being on the march, under fire, and on the skirmish line
+the entire time. When we reached Fairfax station, on
+the platform of the depot we found an immense table
+upon which our wounded boys were being subjected to
+the ofttimes bungling butchery of ignorant alleged
+surgeons, a number of whom were busily engaged in
+depriving the poor fellows under their charge of wounded<span class="pagenum" id="Page_57">[57]</span>
+legs and arms, and in many cases hastening their death
+thereby. This worse than murder by men, the majority
+of whom, when at home, had never even witnessed a
+capital operation, cannot be too highly condemned.
+(The writer is personally acquainted with professional
+men of this sort, who came out of the service first-class
+carvers, but the number of brave fellows sacrificed to
+bring about this state of proficiency is unknown.) It
+was now ascertained that the Confederate army of
+General Lee was making rapid marches towards Maryland.
+To checkmate this movement our columns were
+at once ordered on a retrograde movement in the direction
+of Washington. Reaching Alexandria, we passed
+up the Potomac, crossing at the long bridge, and moving
+forward to Georgetown where a halt of one day was
+made, the command departing the following morning
+for Frederick City, Maryland, which was said to be occupied
+by the rebels. A day’s march brought us beyond
+Rockville, Maryland, where we encamped for the night.
+At 2 o’clock, on the afternoon of September 5th, the
+regiment marched to Monocacy Junction, where the
+rebels had a short time previous destroyed the railroad
+bridge.</p>

+
+<p>The regiment remained at Monocacy junction, guarding
+the immense supply trains which had accumulated
+here by reason of the burned bridge. Sergeant Baldwin
+relates that a lot of rebel prisoners passed Monocacy
+bridge, one of whom claimed to have fired seven
+shots at Colonel Buckley at the battle of Port Republic,
+but without effect. About September 13th, the bridge
+having been replaced, we moved on to Frederick city,
+Maryland. Here we engaged in camp, picket, and provost
+duty, and a large number of the men were detailed
+to care for the wounded from the battlefields of South
+Mountain and Antietam, September 14th and 17th.</p>
+
+<p>In the meantime we were joined by a large number of
+recruits, amongst which was a brigade cornet band, composed
+of the following members: George Shaw, leader;
+Everett Shaw, assistant leader; J. G. Caskey, Jacob
+Koplin, Sylvanus Hile, Columbus Ferguson, N. G.
+Hartman, Christian Hardag, William Kurtz, George
+Metcalf, James Lyon, “Bige” Nickerson, Benjamin
+Snyder, George Turney, Micajah Rice, Bennett Wadsworth,
+Edward White, Frank Waltz, Eli Waltz; Gurley
+G. Crane, drum major.</p>
+
+<p>November 25th, Colonel Clark says: “Patiently
+waiting in camp. ‘Dress parade’ to-day, the first many
+of us have seen since May last. Only about two hundred
+men in line. Remembering how far our line
+reached at Camp Giddings, our force looks small indeed.”</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_59">[59]</span></p>
+
+<p>November 27th. “Cold and raw. A fierce gale
+makes our canvas houses rock like cradles. We are
+now having an easy time; that is all but the men and the
+mules. Our men go on duty every other day. As to
+rations, don’t think any of us will get the gout.”</p>
+
+<p>November 27th. “Thanksgiving.&mdash;‘Distance lends
+enchantment,’ etc., to turkeys, chickens, pies, and fixin’s
+that make good cheer at home. Well, some of us
+are thankful&mdash;that we are here instead of being locked
+up in those dirty rebel prisons. Nine of our officers and
+a large number of our men have just been released.
+This inactivity is irksome to the volunteer who has
+business at home needing his attention. We hardly
+think Burnside will reach Richmond via Fredericksburg
+unless he goes as some of us did&mdash;as prisoners.”</p>
+
+<p>On the 10th day of December, 1862, the regiment
+struck tents at Frederick City, Maryland, and moved by
+cars in the direction of Harper’s Ferry. At Sandy
+Hook a halt was made for the night; slept in freight
+cars; suffered severely from cold. The following day
+marched at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> About noon crossed the Potomac
+and Shenandoah rivers into Virginia; marched about nine
+miles and camped for the night. Twelfth, marched at 3
+<span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> some nine miles and went into camp. Thirteenth,
+moved at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, marched twelve miles, halted for dinner,
+passed through Leesburg, and camped for the night.
+Fourteenth, marched at sunrise, passed through Fairfax
+Court House to the station, where we encamped.
+Fifteenth, marched till about 4 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, crossed Broad run
+and encamped for the night. Sixteenth, marched four
+miles in rain, snow, and mud; at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> halted for dinner;
+had a fight with a Pennsylvania regiment over some
+rails that had been collected from the fence. These we
+used for wood occasionally in preparing our meals.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_60">[60]</span></p>
+
+<p>[It] is perhaps unnecessary to mention that the Twenty-ninth
+boys enjoyed good fires to-day. In the afternoon
+the Twenty-ninth went on picket one mile to the rear.
+Seventeenth, brigade counter-marched to Fairfax station,
+where it remained until the 19th, when it moved southeast
+about one and one-half miles to an orchard, where
+it encamped, and where it remained until the 27th,
+when it marched at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>; reached Broad run
+late in the evening. On the hill on the south side of
+the creek was a fort occupied by rebels; the Twenty-ninth
+crossed the creek, halted, loaded their guns, and
+advanced, and a red-hot little skirmish ensued at the
+close of which the rebels fell back. We went into the
+fort, sending two companies out in the road leading
+towards Dumfries as skirmishers. The regiment remained
+on arms all night; cold and frosty. Guns are
+not very warm bed-fellows. Twenty-eighth, marched at
+7:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, Twenty-ninth in advance of division. About
+10 o’clock met some rebel cavalry; the Twenty-ninth
+regiment deployed into line of battle, a few shots were
+fired, and the rebels fell back. One man wounded in
+company A. While in this position Generals Slocum,
+Geary, and Green came up; a battery was soon in position
+which sent a few shots after the retreating rebel
+cavalry. In the afternoon marched through the woods
+on right of road, in line of battle, while the division
+moved in the road; skirmishing the balance of the day.
+At dark we halted three miles from Dumfries and
+camped for the night. Twenty-ninth, reached Dumfries’
+about 10 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and went into camp on the side
+hill in the woods north of town.</p>
+
+<p>January 1, 1863, the regiment and its brigade remained
+at Dumfries, doing camp and picket duty, until
+January 16th, when it was ordered to march on two<span class="pagenum" id="Page_61">[61]</span>
+hours’ notice, did not march. On the 17th and 18th
+nothing transpired worthy of note. On the 19th the
+regiment passed in grand review by Colonel Charles
+Canby, of the Sixty-sixth Ohio infantry. January 27th,
+General Geary visited the regiment while on parade, and
+complimented us on our discipline, neat appearance, and
+soldierly deportment. February 2nd, Colonel L. P.
+Buckley, Adjutant T. S. Winship, Captain E. Burridge
+and Lieutenant Gregory, of company F, resigned and
+went home. Lieutenant J. B. Storer was made adjutant,
+and Sergeant H. R. Baldwin, of company F, promoted
+to captain. February 3d, Companies D and I
+were detached at Dumfries landing, on the Potomac,
+about four miles from camp, doing guard duty, unloading
+army supplies from boats, and loading the Second
+Division trains.</p>
+
+<p>On the 14th some musketry firing was heard in the
+direction of Brentsville.</p>
+
+<p>March 9th, Eli Waltz, of Company D, and a member
+of the brigade band, died.</p>
+
+<p>April 16th, Companies D and I moved from the landing,
+and joined the regiment.</p>
+
+<p>From the 29th day of December, 1862, the time when
+the Twenty-ninth regiment entered Dumfries, its duties
+were severe; the line of pickets was over three miles
+long, and over one mile from camp; and as the rebel
+cavalry were hovering around, the main roads entering
+Dumfries, were patroled at night. Our men suffered
+severely from cold and the protracted storms. In the
+meantime five companies were added to the brigade.
+The Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania originally had fifteen
+companies; five companies were added to the new recruits,
+and designated the One Hundred and Forty-seventh
+Pennsylvania, with Ario Pardee as colonel. Our<span class="pagenum" id="Page_62">[62]</span>
+first brigade now consists of the Twenty-ninth, Seventh,
+Fifth, and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments, and Twenty-eighth
+and One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania.</p>
+
+<p>The suffering our men endured during our stay at
+Dumfries from inclemency of the weather, the arduous
+service, and the scarcity of almost every necessity,
+cannot be easily over-estimated, and it might with propriety
+go into history as a counterpart of that much
+written about, and extensively illustrated affair “Washington
+at Valley Forge.”</p>
+
+<p>About the 20th day of April, 1863, with Colonel
+Clark in command, the Twenty-ninth regiment, with its
+brigade, left Dumfries, Virginia, and marched to Aqua
+creek, which place it reached two days later, and encamped
+about one mile from the Potomac river. Aqua
+creek is sixty miles below Washington on the river; it
+was used as a base for supplies, and a field hospital was
+soon established. The regiment with its brigade remained
+at this place performing the usual camp and garrison
+duty, building forts and, at the same time, doing its
+full share of picket duty. We are encamped on the hill
+overlooking the Potomac. To the north and west is a
+fine rolling country partly covered with pine timber and
+tangled undergrowth. All was quiet until orders were
+received to march; then what a bustle; haversacks were
+filled, each soldier furnished with sixty rounds of ammunition,
+and preparations made for “business.” At 7
+o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on the 27th day of April, the regiment fell
+into line and moved forward on the road leading to
+Kelleys ford via Stafford Court House and Hartwood
+church, reaching the Rappahannock river at Kelley’s
+ford late in the afternoon. The enemy was found in
+small force on the south bank of the river. Late in the
+evening the Sixty-sixth Ohio regiment crossed the river<span class="pagenum" id="Page_63">[63]</span>
+in a small boat capable of carrying but one company at
+a time. The regiment deployed as skirmishers, holding
+the enemy back until the division had all crossed when
+we bivouacked for the night. The next morning we
+marched at 5:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, the Twenty-ninth regiment in
+advance; passed through a low, level country, with
+heavy timber; halted at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> for dinner at a fine residence
+on a large plantation; fell in at 1:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> and
+moved in an easterly direction, reaching the Rapidan
+river late in the afternoon. The bridge had been destroyed,
+so that a crossing was not effected until in the
+evening, after which the Twenty-ninth camped for the
+night. 29th instant,&mdash;marched at 7:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> on the
+direct road to Chancellorsville. About 10 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>
+General Slocum came up and orders were received for
+the Twenty-ninth regiment to send out a line of skirmishers
+on the right of the road, which was done, the
+regiment passing through an open field and entering
+the timber, forcing the enemy back; marched on the
+flank through the woods and thick undergrowth for
+several miles, were then ordered to join the brigade.
+We reached Chancellorsville late in the afternoon of
+April 30th, where we found a small force of Confederate
+soldiers who were engaged in throwing up earthworks
+near the Chancellor house, at a point where the
+roads crossed, one leading to the United States ford,
+and the other to Fredericksburg. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment, with its brigade and division, were the first
+Union soldiers to enter the place. A number of prisoners
+were taken, and late in the evening the Twenty-ninth
+moved a short distance southwest from the main road
+and the Chancellor house into a piece of timber and
+bivouacked for the night.</p>

+Gettysburg.</small></p>
+
+<p>The morning of May 1st dawned upon a scene of bustle
+and active preparation for the bloody work which was
+to follow. Troops had been arriving during the entire
+night from the direction of the United States ford, and
+the light of early morning revealed an almost solid mass
+of blue-coated soldiers filling the open fields and woods
+in the vicinity of the Chancellor house. They were
+mainly from the Fifth, Eleventh, and Twelfth corps. At
+about 8 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the Twenty-ninth, with its brigade
+and division, made a reconnoissance in force, and after
+marching about one-half mile the division formed in
+line of battle, and in this position was moved about the
+field until afternoon, when the lines were generally
+moved to the east through the timber, the right resting
+on the road. Moving perhaps half a mile we found
+the enemy in strong force, his artillery masked in
+the road. During this time some skirmishing and
+artillery firing was indulged in, and several of the
+Twenty-ninth were wounded. Late in the afternoon we
+moved to the rear under a heavy fire from the rebel
+artillery. Reaching the place we had left in the morning
+we set to work throwing up breastworks. The rebels
+advanced and our skirmishers kept up a rattling fire
+all night, while the regiment worked like beavers preparing
+the works for the coming conflict. The Second<span class="pagenum" id="Page_65">[65]</span>
+division, commanded by John W. Geary, occupied about
+the left center in the order of battle.</p>
+
+<p>During the evening of May 1st the Confederate army
+were charging the right of our lines, and for four hours
+the artillery firing on both sides was terrific. It continued
+at intervals the entire night. The air was ablaze
+and full of deadly missiles dealing destruction all around
+us; the earth trembled under our feet; the rattle and
+roar of artillery was like continued bursts of thunder.
+The heavens seemed on fire, revealing the deadly strife
+of two grand armies locked in close embrace, fighting
+with desperate valor. The dense smoke was lightened
+by rapid flashes of artillery, the bursting of shell, and the
+unceasing discharges of musketry, making a scene grand
+and terrible in the extreme. At midnight this deadly
+combat ceased, the death-like stillness which succeeded
+being broken only by the cries of the wounded and the
+dying comrades so recently beside us in deadly combat.
+About 1 o’clock at night pickets were posted forty yards
+from the main line. We were so near the rebel pickets
+we could hear every movement. Here we lay flat on
+the ground watching for demonstrations of the enemy
+until the dawning of another day of blood and death.
+In the first flush of early morning the rebels advanced
+with columns <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">en masse</i> and at once opened fire on us.
+This we returned and then quickly retired under a storm
+of leaden hail. Leaping over the rifle-pits we soon
+rejoined the command.</p>
+
+<p>The Twenty-ninth regiment now moved in a southwesterly
+direction along the line of works a short distance,
+in support of a New York regiment. While supporting
+this regiment the Twenty-ninth was under artillery fire
+from the right flank. Colonel Clark was struck by a
+shell, and rendered unconscious nearly two hours. The<span class="pagenum" id="Page_66">[66]</span>
+regiment again moved into its old position on the road
+south of the Chancellorsville house, where it remained
+under heavy fire of artillery and musketry, and in the
+afternoon our right flank was turned, and the Union
+army was soon forced back in the direction of the river,
+at Banks’ ford. When the Twenty-ninth fell back the
+rebels were in possession of the Chancellor house, and
+there were not one hundred Union soldiers in sight.
+The army fell back about one mile and a half, filling the
+woods and the road leading to Banks’ ford. Here it
+took a strong position and threw up a line of works and
+remained until May 6th, when, after being on arms all
+night, it marched at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, crossed the river at Banks’
+ford, and camped for the night.</p>
+
+<p>During the three days’ fight the Twenty-ninth regiment
+lost quite heavily; the killed were four, wounded
+forty-two, and prisoners twenty-five.</p>
+
+<p>In this action the rebel loss was officially reported in
+killed, wounded, and missing, as upward of 10,000 men,
+while the Union loss was about the same. The rebel
+loss in killed and wounded was greater than ours, in
+addition to which they lost one of their ablest generals.</p>
+
+<p>May 7th, marched at 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> It rained hard all
+day. We passed Hartwood church, Staffordshire, and
+went into camp near Aqua creek, and here it remained
+until June 3d, when the regiment moved to the south
+about one mile, and engaged in the construction of two
+small forts.</p>
+
+<p>Early on the morning of June 13th, we received orders
+to march. Tents were struck, but it was not until late
+in the afternoon that we moved, and then marched during
+the whole night, reaching Dumfries after daylight on
+the morning of the 14th.</p>
+
+<p>15th, march at 4 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> Halted on the north bank of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_67">[67]</span>
+the Occoquan creek for dinner. Resuming the march
+in the afternoon we passed Fairfax station and Court
+House on the road leading to Leesburg (marched
+twenty-five miles). This was a march of much suffering
+to the men, several of whom died during the day from
+sunstrokes.</p>
+
+<p>16th. Remained in camp all day.</p>
+
+<p>17th. March in the direction of Leesburg. Halted
+at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span>, and camped for the night.</p>
+
+<p>June 18th. Marched to near Leesburg and went into
+camp. <em>Oh! How it rains!</em></p>
+
+<p>19th. Remained in camp cleaning up guns and equipage,
+and all is quiet. In the afternoon the Twelfth
+army corps were ordered out to witness the shooting
+of three deserters from the First division of the Twelfth
+army corps. Following are the names: William McKee,
+company A, Forty-sixth Pennsylvania; Christopher
+Krumbart, company A, Forty-sixth Pennsylvania; and
+William Grover, company B, Thirteenth New Jersey.
+Lieutenant-colonel Clark left us here badly broken
+down in health.</p>
+
+<p>Sunday, June 20th. In camp cleaning up for inspection.
+21st and 22d in camp. 23d, 24th and 25th,
+Captain Schoonover, in charge of one hundred and
+twenty men from the brigade, felling timber, uncovering
+Ball’s Bluff in front of Fort Beauregard.</p>
+
+<p>26th. The regiment left Leesburg, crossing the Potomac
+at Edward’s Ferry, passed Poolsville, and encamped
+for the night at Monocacy aqueduct.</p>
+
+<p>27th. Moved at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> by way of Point of Rocks,
+Petersville and Parkersburg, and camped for the night
+five miles from Harper’s Ferry.</p>
+
+<p>28th. Moved in the forenoon, passing through Harper’s
+Ferry, then up the tow path of the Baltimore &amp;<span class="pagenum" id="Page_68">[68]</span>
+Ohio canal to Clear Springs, where the Twenty-ninth
+passed under the canal through a culvert, and moving in
+the direction of Frederick City, Maryland, went into
+camp.</p>
+
+<p>29th. Moved through Frederick City in the direction
+of Pennsylvania, and went into camp. General
+Hooker was relieved from command of the Army of the
+Potomac, and General George G. Mead placed in command.</p>
+
+<p>30th. Moved north into Pennsylvania, and late in
+the afternoon reached Littlestown, where we had a skirmish
+with the advance guard of the rebel Lee, which
+falling back toward Gettysburg, we moved north of
+town; mustered for pay and went into camp for the
+night.</p>

+
+<p class="center">1863.</p>
+
+<p>July 1, 1863, the Twenty-ninth regiment, under command
+of Captain Edward Hayes, marched at 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>,
+passed through Littletown and on towards Gettysburg.
+After moving some five miles, we halted, and while
+preparing for dinner, first heard the distant artillery firing
+which seemed to be many miles away.</p>
+
+<p>While resting, troops were passing to the front.
+Meanwhile some of Company H had advanced to an
+eminence, from which they soon returned, reporting that
+the cannonading was not far off, as they could plainly
+see the shells as they burst above the timber. We were
+soon on the march, halting occasionally to breathe, as it
+was excessively hot and dusty. When about two miles
+from Gettysburg, we met ambulances returning with the
+wounded of the First and Eleventh corps, which had
+been engaged. Advancing a short distance, we found
+still further evidence of the fight in the bodies of those
+who had been killed in battle, and left beside the road.
+Late in the afternoon the Twenty-ninth reached the
+Union lines near Seminary Hill, and here batteries were
+in position. The troops were moving, and the rapid
+forming of lines gave evidence that a <em>battle</em> was <em>nigh</em>.</p>
+
+<p>The Twenty-ninth regiment filed to the left of the pike,
+and advancing about forty rods, took a position in a
+wheat field, in line of battle, and here remained on arms
+during the night.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_70">[70]</span></p>
+
+<p>During the day (July 1st) the First corps, commanded
+by General J. F. Reynolds, had a sharp fight, in which
+Reynolds was killed. The Eleventh corps (Howard’s)
+was also engaged. Late in the afternoon the Nationals
+were pressed back, and took a strong position a short
+distance from Gettysburg, on Seminary Ridge, which
+ended the battle for that day.</p>
+
+<p>During the night we could hear the moving of confederate
+troops and artillery in our front, while at the
+same time the Nationals were coming onto the field, so
+that in the morning of July 2d, the open field and
+woods presented a solid mass of troops, artillery and
+supply trains.</p>
+
+<p>About 8 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, July 2d, the Twenty-ninth
+regiment moved back to the pike, and moved with the
+division to a position in the timber on a hill, near the
+right of the line. Here breastworks were thrown up, and
+skirmishing was almost continuous along the line during
+the forenoon, and until about 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when the
+struggle was renewed on the left, and gradually extended
+to the center. About 6 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, there was a lull on
+the left, and the fight raged with renewed vigor on the
+extreme right and center, with Howard’s Eleventh and
+Slocum’s Twelfth corps. Late in the evening the
+Twenty-ninth, with the brigade, withdrew from the works,
+and moved back about three-fourths of a mile, where it
+remained during the forepart of the night, moving back
+and forth, and constantly skirmishing. The entire army
+appeared to be in motion the greater part of the night.</p>
+
+<p>July 3, 1863, at the dawn of day, the Twenty-ninth,
+with the brigade, moved back to, and took position in
+the works left the night before, and about 4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>
+the conflict was renewed.</p>
+
+<p>The rebels who had possession of our works were<span class="pagenum" id="Page_71">[71]</span>
+quickly driven back, and, fifteen minutes after the first
+gun was fired, the engagement became general along the
+entire line, and for six hours the musketry was one continued
+roll, interspersed at intervals by the crash of the
+artillery. The Twenty-ninth remained in the works except
+when allowed to retire to secure ammunition, clean
+pieces, etc. While thus securing ammunition the rebels
+charged the line on our right, gained possession of the
+works, and were advancing in force, when that gallant
+officer, Colonel Hayes, ordered the Twenty-ninth to fall
+in, fix bayonets, and advance to the charge of the rebels
+in the rifle pits and advancing on our right. The regiment
+made a half wheel to the right and advanced
+double-quick, when the rebels gave way. An eastern
+shore regiment took position next on our right, holding
+the rebels in check. A battery was immediately placed in
+position, a few rounds from which sent the Confederates
+to the rear, leaving their dead and wounded thick about
+our line of works.</p>
+
+<p>The Confederates in our front were Ewell’s corps, including
+our old acquaintance, Stonewall Jackson’s brigade,
+which fought with desperation. The rattle of the
+musketry, which extended from the extreme right to the
+left center of our line, had now become continuous, and
+about 1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> General Lee opened a furious fire
+upon our lines from over one hundred and fifty pieces
+of artillery, to which more than one hundred National
+guns quickly responded; some sixty thousand small arms
+were heard amidst the roar of artillery. This unearthly
+din continued until late in the afternoon, when the firing
+ceased except at intervals, and this continued during
+the entire night.</p>
+
+<p>Brevet Captain George Hayward, of company E, promoted
+for gallant conduct at Chancellorsville, was killed<span class="pagenum" id="Page_72">[72]</span>
+in this fight. He was daring almost to rashness, always
+at the front, unmindful of danger, while his tender
+solicitude for his men endeared him to all who knew
+him, and his death was sincerely regretted. The rebel
+who killed him was concealed in the crevice of the rock
+not more than twenty paces from our line. Upon again
+exposing his person not less than one hundred rifles were
+discharged at him; he sprang backward, a shrill cry
+rang out upon the air, and brave Hayward’s death was
+avenged.</p>
+
+<p>A little further down the hill lay the dead body of
+Major Light, assistant adjutant-general on Ewell’s staff,
+who had perished in the morning assault.</p>
+
+<p>Early on the morning of July 4th the Twenty-ninth
+regiment advanced in reconnoissance over the battlefield,
+and for the first time gained a full knowledge of the
+fearful loss of life the rebels had sustained, full five
+thousand of whom had answered to their last roll-call.
+Still the mystery exists how any rebels escaped, as each
+soldier of the Union army had, in the seven hours’ fight,
+fired two hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition, sufficient
+to have annihilated the entire Southern army.</p>
+
+<p>We moved forward to the base of Culp’s hill, and
+thence left, to the creek near Cemetery hill, on the opposite
+bank of which were posted the gray-coated pickets
+of the enemy. Rebel troops were moving through
+the town, while a force was fortified on Seminary ridge.
+Pickets were thrown out to observe their movements and
+we retired to the main line.</p>
+
+<p>During the day nearly five thousand stand of rebel
+arms were collected from the field, in front of Geary’s
+division alone. Our fallen comrades were tenderly,
+though rudely, transferred to the kindly embrace of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_73">[73]</span>
+mother earth, while the wounded were collected at convenient
+points to receive the necessary treatment.</p>
+
+<p>Whoever has followed the phases of the battle of
+Gettysburg must have been expressed with the stubborn
+valor displayed on both sides by the common soldiers.
+The dauntless resolution exhibited in the attacks made
+it a terribly bloody and destructive conflict, and the
+unyielding and resolute front of the defence brought
+victory. But there was no possibility of achieving on
+either side such sweeping and complete triumphs as are
+recorded of wars in other countries and in other days, in
+a contest between two armies where the common soldiers
+were of such a temper and in such earnest as were these.
+It is a sad spectacle to see the manhood of two claiming
+to be Christian peoples thus march out to a field, like
+trained pugilists, and beat, and gouge, and pummel each
+other until one or the other from exhaustion must yield.
+It is revolting and sickening, and it is hoped that the
+day will come when disputes arising among nations may
+be settled by compromise, as two reasonable and upright
+men would decide a difference, governed by the golden
+rule, instead of resorting to blows where right and justice
+must be subordinate to brute force. But in a great
+battle like that which we have been considering it is not
+the soldiers themselves who are responsible, but the
+parties who make the quarrel. Hence, while the mind
+revolts at the scenes of destruction which the field discloses,
+the immediate actors are not to be held accountable.
+They go in obedience to the dictates of duty and
+of patriotism, and while they may indulge no personal
+hatred toward those who for the time they call enemies,
+they must in battle inflict the greatest possible injury
+upon them. In all ages the highest honors have been
+reserved for those who have fought the battles of their<span class="pagenum" id="Page_74">[74]</span>
+country&mdash;and this is right. For if there is any deed in
+the power of a mortal which can sway the feelings or
+soften the heart it is that of one man laying down his
+life for another. The breast heaves and the eye is suffused
+with tears at the spectacle of Pythias putting his
+life in jeopardy only for his friend. There is a halo of
+glory hovering about the profession of arms. It has its
+seat in the sacrifice of self, which is its ruling spirit.</p>
+
+<p>The man who stands upon the field of battle and faces
+the storm of death that sweeps along, whether he merely
+puts his life thus in jeopardy or is actually carried down
+in death, torn and mangled in the dread fight, is worthy
+of endless honors, and though we class the deed with
+the lowest of human acts, prompted by a hardihood
+which we share with the brutes, and in which the most
+ignorant and besotted may compete with the loftiest, yet
+it is an act before which humanity will ever bow and
+uncover. Who that walked that field of carnage and
+beheld the maimed and mangled, and him cold in death,
+could withhold the tribute of honor and respect? For,
+could he make that dying soldier’s lot his own, or that of
+his nearest and dearest friend, he would only then justly
+realize the sacrifice. Our casualties in the fight were:
+Killed, nine; wounded, thirty-five; missing, one. Total,
+forty-five.</p>

+
+<p>The pursuit of the retreating enemy was commenced
+by the Twelfth army corps at 1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, on July 5th.
+At night we encamped at Littletown, Pennsylvania, and
+on the following morning moved by the way of Frederick
+to Antietam creek. On the 7th instant we marched
+through Frederick, filed to the right, and passed by a
+rebel spy that was hanging to a limb of a tree. We
+moved a short distance, and halted, where we remained
+all night. On the 8th we marched over the mountains
+in the direction of Sharpsburg. On the 9th we passed
+over the battlefield, and camped near Fairplay, Maryland.
+On the 10th we moved through the town, and
+camped for the night near Falling waters. On the following
+day we advanced to Fairplay, a small town to the
+south of St. James’ college, and the Twenty-ninth regiment,
+with its customary good (?) fortune, was thrown out
+as skirmishers, and during the day exchanged frequent
+shots with the enemy’s cavalry, and at night resting in
+position on the extreme front.</p>
+
+<p>During the night rebel cavalry approached very near
+our line, but our orders were positive not to fire unless
+attacked. On the following morning we were relieved
+and retired to the main line, where we assumed position
+as support to Knapp’s battery, which was hotly engaged
+at intervals during the day.</p>
+
+<p>On the morning of the 13th instant we rejoined our<span class="pagenum" id="Page_76">[76]</span>
+brigade, anticipating an attack. Riflepits were thrown up
+and due preparation made. The enemy are strongly
+fortified between St. James’ college and Williamsport,
+some two miles distant, and on the 14th he was reported
+as falling back across the Potomac. Heavy cannonading
+is heard towards the river, and the First division of
+General Williams advances in reconnoissance, the Second
+acting as support. A dispatch states that Lee’s army, in
+full retreat, began crossing the river yesterday, continued
+through the night and to-day. Our troops are hotly engaged
+with his rear guard, and we remain in position
+until the morning of the 18th, when we move briskly forward
+in pursuit of the fleeing chivalry, who were now
+across the Potomac in Virginia. We marched via
+Sharpsburg and Antietam.</p>
+
+<p>While passing through the woods three men were shot
+by Mosby’s cavalry. A march of sixteen miles and we
+halt within three miles of Harper’s Ferry. At Sandy
+Hook we remain until the morning of the 19th instant,
+when we move forward via Harper’s Ferry, to Hillsboro,
+Virginia.</p>
+
+<p>On the following morning we are early on the move,
+advancing as far as Snickersville, near the gap of that
+name, where pickets are thrown out and we bivouac for
+the night. We remain here for two days, during which
+time we muster and pass in review. Colonel W. T.
+Fitch recently promoted, and who has been absent on
+leave since March 28th, joined us here, and assumed
+command.</p>
+
+<p>On the morning of the 23d we again moved forward,
+passing through Upperville and on to Ashby’s gap,
+where, at a late hour, we go into camp. Having marched
+thirty miles since morning sleep was sweet that night,
+with mother earth for a bed, and only heaven’s blue<span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">[77]</span>
+canopy for a cover. At 3 o’clock on the morning of the
+24th we march rapidly forward through the villages of
+Markham and Linden, halting for dinner at Manassas
+gap, then forward, changing direction by column to the
+south-southeast, in the direction of White Plains.
+Marching sixteen miles we halted for the night.</p>
+
+<p>The next day we marched to White Plains, and the
+next by the way of Thoroughfare gap, Haymarket, and
+Greenwich, the latter a pretty little village, settled by
+English people, for whose protection guards were stationed,
+as they were in fact in many instances for the
+protection of rebel property. After a brief halt we
+marched forward via Catlett’s station and Warrenton,
+where we joined the First and Eleventh corps of our
+army and encamped for the night, then forward again to
+Kelley’s Ford, on the Rappahannock, when, after a short
+visit, the brigade took cars for Alexandria, Virginia,
+under orders for New York city, to quell the memorable
+draft riots induced by the Southern sympathizers and
+copperheads.</p>
+
+<p>On August 23d we embarked on the steamer Baltic
+and moved down the Potomac. When near its outlet
+we went fast aground. This action occurred about noon
+on the 24th, and three days elapsed before we were
+again on the move. On the 28th, at 9:45 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, we
+round Cape Henry and strike the swells of the Atlantic.
+A rough sea soon sends many of the command to the
+rail to&mdash;well, if the reader was ever seasick he will appreciate
+the situation. It is not pleasant to linger long
+upon this scene; the recollection of it, even now, almost
+destroys one’s interest in sublunary affairs.</p>
+
+<p>On the 29th we pass the narrows and enter New York
+harbor, coming to anchor near Governor’s Island at 12
+o’clock <span class="allsmcap">M.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_78">[78]</span></span></p>
+
+<p>From our anchorage the view was grandly beautiful
+with the immense shipping, Brooklyn on the right, New
+York to the front, and Jersey City on the left. On the
+left of Governor’s Island Castle William (now used as a
+magazine) stands out in bold relief. To its right is the
+fort which protects the harbor. On September 1st we
+disembarked and went into camp on the island. The
+men are in fine spirits and delighted with the change.</p>
+
+<p>The troubles in the city having subsided we re-embarked
+aboard the Baltic, which, on the 8th day of September,
+heads towards the sea. When passing the narrows
+the guns of the fort thunder a salute; soon Sandy
+Hook is passed and we are again in the open sea, all
+happy at the prospect of going to the front, the inactivity
+of camp life with nothing to do having become tiresome
+in the extreme.</p>
+
+<p>On September 10th we came to anchor in Chesapeake
+Bay, where we remained one day, then passed on again
+to Alexandria, disembarked, and went into camp to the
+south of the town. Two days later and we again move
+forward to Elk creek, where we encamp for the night.</p>
+
+<p>September 16th, marched at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, reached the Rappahannock
+at noon, and here rejoined our old brigade,
+moved forward to Raccoon ford on the north side of the
+Rapidan. General Lee’s forces are massed on the opposite
+shore of the river, and as we came up our ears
+were greeted with the pleasing sound of rapid musketry
+firing proceeding from the pickets of the two armies.
+During the afternoon we witnessed the execution of two
+deserters from the Seventy-eighth New York.</p>
+
+<p>During the last of September we learned of the defeat
+of the Western army at Chickamauga, and the Twelfth
+corps was at once transferred to the Department of the
+West, and without delay proceeded by rail to Washington,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_79">[79]</span>
+and thence via Wheeling, Columbus, Indianapolis,
+Nashville, to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where we arrived
+October 5th.</p>
+
+<p>After a few days’ rest the regiment again resume the
+march, passing Duck river, Bell Buckle, and Wartrace,
+when the Seventh Ohio halted, while the Twenty-ninth
+moved on to Normandy, on the Nashville &amp; Chattanooga
+railroad. Here it remained in camp, with the usual
+routine of camp and picket duty until late in October,
+when the regiment and brigade broke camp, took the
+cars for Bridgeport, Alabama, where it arrived on the
+27th, disembarked, and camped for the night. On the
+morning of October 28th the Twenty-ninth regiment
+crossed the Tennessee river with the wagon train. Halting
+at Shellmound for dinner, marched until late in the
+evening, and halted near White Sides, where all camped
+for the night. About 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> artillery firing,
+with heavy volleys of musketry, was heard in the direction
+of Chattanooga, continuing two or three hours.</p>

+
+<p>While at Murfreesboro scouts reported that Wheeler’s
+cavalry was in the vicinity, and the Second division
+(Geary’s) was pushed forward to meet it, the First division
+remaining to guard the post and railway communication.
+Geary moved forward in the direction of Bridgeport,
+encountering Wheeler’s force near the line of the
+railway. A brief but sharp skirmish ensued, which resulted
+in the repulse and hasty retreat of the rebels. We
+then advanced without delay to Bridgeport. October
+27th the Second division, Geary commanding, with
+Creighton and Greene in command of the First and
+Second brigades, crossed the Tennessee, the object to
+open communication on the south side of the river by
+way of Wauhatchie valley and Lookout mountain for the
+relief of General Thomas at Chattanooga.</p>
+
+<p>Brigadier-general Greene, with three regiments of
+infantry and four pieces of Knapp’s battery, numbering
+about fifteen hundred men, with a wagon train of provisions,
+was sent to the relief of the famishing army at
+Chattanooga, the balance of our command following as
+fast as practicable with the immense supply train in
+charge. After we had encamped for the night the signal
+corps of General Greene informed us that his command
+had encamped at Wauhatchie, within six miles of Chattanooga.
+The knoll occupied by them derived its name
+from an Indian battle fought there years before. It is
+situated in the valley not far from the base of Lookout
+mountain. Knapp’s guns were placed in position facing<span class="pagenum" id="Page_81">[81]</span>
+Lookout, and pickets stationed perhaps fifty yards to the
+front.</p>
+
+<p>About midnight General Hood’s division came down
+from the heights of Lookout and quietly surrounded
+General Greene’s small force, and at once commenced
+an attack. Greene’s men, aroused from their slumber,
+hastily formed line under a most deadly fire from all
+sides, and one of the most desperate struggles on record
+ensued. We were awakened by the sound of the distant
+combat, and forming into line hastily advanced to their
+rescue. When we arrived Hood’s rebels had been
+routed and were flying in all directions, intent only on
+reaching their mountain stronghold. There was a regular
+stampede of the mules, which had broken loose and
+were braying furiously. This, with loud shouts from our
+men, must have induced a belief in the valorous rebel
+horde that a large force of cavalry was charging down
+upon them, and their fears and flight was indeed a grand
+burlesque finale to a terrible tragedy.</p>
+
+<p>General Greene had lost one-third of his force, killed
+and wounded, his ammunition was exhausted, and ordering
+the mules cut loose, he made a desperate bayonet
+charge to cut his way to freedom. The mules providentially
+moved in the same direction, mingling the thunder
+of their tread and their awful voices with the shouts of
+Greene’s men, and our own, to let them know that assistance
+was coming. The effect was to throw Hood’s rebel
+army into a wild panic and put them to rout. Three
+hundred prisoners and about one thousand stand of
+arms were captured. Every man of Knapp’s battery,
+save one only, was either killed or wounded. Among
+the former was Lieutenant Geary, son of General John
+W. Geary. The ground was covered with the dead and
+injured of both the blue and the gray.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">[82]</span></p>
+
+<p>While assisting the wounded and burying the dead,
+Generals Grant, Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective
+staffs, arrived from Chattanooga. The former
+coolly remarked as he surveyed the bloody scene:
+“Well, boys, you must have had a hot time of it, judging
+from appearances.” There was silence among the
+men, who knew that an army was cosily reposing but
+four miles away, which could easily have averted the
+terrible bloodshed, but were so completely disheartened
+by the defeat at Chickamauga that they dare not venture
+from their stronghold to the relief of gallant “Corporal”
+Greene, who happily turned defeat into a heroic victory.</p>

+<p class="center"><small>Lookout Mountain&mdash;The Battle&mdash;The Regiment Re-enlist.</small></p>
+
+<p>The line of General Geary’s division now extends
+along the foot of Lookout mountain, parallel with the
+rebel line, and only separated from it by the creek along
+its base. For nearly ten days the commissary stores intended
+for us have been largely forwarded to Chattanooga,
+leaving us with scarcely anything to eat. When
+on the skirmish line we often sent our reserves around
+to the right of the mountain to secure corn from a field
+in that location, held by the rebels, and quite lively little
+fights would result. Our boys always returned with
+corn, however, which we parched to allay in part the
+bitter pangs of hunger. As with everything earthly our
+long fast ended, rations came, and life began to seem
+almost worth living, exchanges of coffee and tobacco
+were almost hourly made between the Union and rebel
+soldiers, each forgetting for the time the hate engendered
+over the fight for corn. Our main line was being strongly
+fortified, the rebels meanwhile keeping up an almost
+continuous bombardment of our line from their batteries
+on the heights of Lookout. Strong details were
+employed in cutting away the forest on our front to enable
+our artillery to cover an hourly expected attack.
+The situation remained the same until November 23d,
+when, toward night, the beat of the “long roll” called
+Geary’s division to arms. It at once moved promptly
+forward, formed line of battle, facing Lookout heights,
+and advanced to its base along the creek. Osterhaus’<span class="pagenum" id="Page_85">[85]</span>
+division of the Fifteenth corps, and Whittaker’s brigade,
+of the Fourth corps, now advanced to the left of Geary’s
+division. The rebels soon discovered this movement
+and promptly moved a strong force down the mountain
+side within easy musket range, where they strongly
+fortified during the night.</p>
+
+<p>The morning of November 24th opened out a simultaneous
+discharge of our entire artillery, which was
+parked along the mountain’s point, the infantry on our
+left advancing to the base of the mountain. The First
+brigade, led by Colonel Creighton, and followed by the
+Second and Third brigades, moved rapidly up the creek
+to the right under cover of the woods, then debouching
+to the left. The First brigade took the advance and began
+the ascent of Lookout heights, being favored by a
+friendly ravine extending toward the crest of the mountain.
+The brigade had advanced perhaps two-thirds of
+the distance before the enemy discovered its movements,
+and now the men renew their efforts, driving the enemy
+before them despite the terrible fire poured into our advance,
+and after a desperate struggle reach the rocky
+crest and disappear in a thick mist (referred to by most
+writers, we believe, as clouds, and which gave this engagement
+the title of the “battle above the clouds”).
+The line of the whole division is extended, and in a
+moment sweeps down in an impetuous charge on both
+the rebel flank and rear. Their batteries are reached,
+the cannoniers beaten back, and the guns captured. Onward,
+upward, with loud cheers our columns rush to victory,
+carrying everything before them. A whole brigade
+is captured, and Lookout mountain, since famous in
+song and story, is ours. This victory was won by
+Geary’s men, assisted only by Whittaker’s brigade acting
+as support. The troops below now came gallantly(?) up<span class="pagenum" id="Page_86">[86]</span>
+the mountain to claim, as usual, the honors won, as the
+voluminous reports subsequently written by their generals
+amply attest. Geary and his brigade commanders
+had no reports to make save that their division stormed
+the heights and carried them, capturing the enemy’s
+artillery and the entire rebel force occupying the main
+defenses of the mountain. Some time after the capture
+the standard of the “white star” division was planted on
+the crest and the stars and stripes was soon waving beside
+it. No danger was incurred by this, as none of the
+enemy remained except the prisoners, yet it has been
+written and rewritten as if it were an event of some importance.</p>
+
+<p>“The morning of November 25th revealed the white
+star standard of Geary and the glorious old stars and
+stripes to the army below, floating triumphantly side by
+side on Lookout’s rocky crest. Prolonged huzzas
+greeted the victors from below, and to confirm that ‘to
+the victors belong the spoils,’ a detachment from two
+regiments of Geary’s command take charge of the prisoners,
+seven stand of colors, and a great number of cannon
+captured.”</p>
+
+<p>The rebels had burned the bridge across Lookout
+creek, which delayed our further advance a short time.
+A bridge was soon improvised, however, and a crossing
+was effected. The command moved on to Rossville,
+where it engaged Braggs’ left, while General Thomas, advancing
+from Chattanooga valley, moved up Missionary
+ridge, striking Bragg a crushing blow in the center, and
+Pap Sherman was making it warm for his right flank.
+About 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the firing became general along the
+entire line, which continued until late in the afternoon,
+when the rebels were driven from the field with great<span class="pagenum" id="Page_87">[87]</span>
+loss. The Union army advanced a short distance and
+bivouacked for the night.</p>
+
+<p>November 26, we moved on after the retreating army,
+and at a small creek near Greysville, Georgia, had a
+skirmish, driving the enemy as far as Ringgold and Taylor’s
+ridge, where they were in position behind breastwork
+in the narrow pass extending through the ridge in the
+direction of Dalton.</p>
+
+<p>27th. Geary’s division made a gallant charge upon the
+rebel works. The First brigade, commanded by Colonel
+William R. Creighton, made a direct assault on Taylor’s
+ridge, while the Second and Third brigades engaged the
+rebels in the narrow defile. After a terrible struggle the
+Nationals were forced back a short distance. A battery
+was moved forward and placed in position, which opened
+with double shotted guns upon the enemy, soon driving
+them precipitately to the rear, leaving the Nationals in
+possession of the field. In this engagement the Union
+loss was quite heavy.</p>
+
+<p>On the 28th the army moved back, Geary’s division
+reaching Wauhatchie valley on the 29th. Resting a few
+days, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment broke camp
+and on December 3d moved across Lookout creek,
+marched about two miles west of Summerville, on Lookout
+mountain, where it camped for the night. Returned
+to its old camp at Wauhatchie, Tennessee, on the
+5th day of December, and the campaign of 1863 ended.</p>
+
+<p>At Wauhatchie, on the 10th day of December, 1863,
+the Twenty-ninth Ohio, though now reduced to less
+than three hundred effective men for duty, almost to a
+man re-enlisted for three years more, should the war so
+long continue, and were given a thirty-days’ furlough
+home for the purpose of recruiting. The headquarters
+of the regiment was established at Cleveland, Ohio.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_88">[88]</span>
+It remained here some two months. At last the decimated
+ranks were filled and, on the morning of February
+8, 1864, the regiment bade a second good bye to friends,
+and amidst their prayers for success and a safe return
+departed for the front, determined to die for the flag if
+necessary, and, after a tedious ride of many weary miles
+arrived at Bridgeport, Alabama, via Louisville, Nashville,
+and Murfreesboro, where it went into winter quarters and
+remained until the opening of the spring campaign of
+1864.</p>

+<p class="center"><small>Shelmound&mdash;Wauhatchie Valley&mdash;Ringgold&mdash;Battle of Dug or Mill
+Creek Gap or Buzzard’s Roost&mdash;On the Move.</small></p>
+
+<p>On the morning of May 3, 1864, at 10 o’clock, we
+broke camp, crossed the Tennessee river, and moved
+eastward along its south bank to Shelmound, where we
+encamped for the night. On the following day the march
+was resumed, the column halting for dinner in Wauhatchie
+valley. Crossing Lookout Creek and mountain,
+we encamped for the night on its east side and two miles
+distant from Chattanooga. The column resumed its
+line of march at 7 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on the 5th. Moving cautiously
+during the day, in the advance, it halted for the night a
+short distance west of Ringgold, Georgia. At daybreak
+on the following morning we moved forward, and about
+9 o’clock formed line of battle, remaining here during
+the day and subsequent night. The beat of the “long
+roll” on the following morning called us to arms, and we
+immediately advanced in line of battle. When near
+Gordon’s Springs General Kilpatrick passed to our right
+with his command. Our column came to a halt for the
+night near Tunnel hill.</p>
+
+<p>At about 11 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on May 8th, we pushed forward in
+order of columns right in front, and at 3 o’clock arrived
+in front of John’s Mountain at Rocky Face Ridge, on
+the summit of which the enemy were entrenched in force.
+The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment and Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania of the First brigade, Colonel Candy commanding,
+with three regiments of Buschbeck’s Second
+brigade, formed in line, the latter on the right, and in this<span class="pagenum" id="Page_90">[90]</span>
+order at once moved forward to storm the ridge. The
+position of the Twenty-ninth regiment in the assaulting
+column was on the extreme left, the Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania next on its right, connecting with the
+Second brigade. Our instructions were to make a strong
+demonstration, and to carry, if possible, the rebel position.
+While advancing to the assault, the brass bands in
+our rear indiscreetly commenced playing National airs,
+which attracted the attention of the rebel commander,
+who rapidly concentrated reinforcements in our front.
+The advance up the declivity was nearly as difficult as
+Lookout Mountain, and more completely fortified. Its
+summit was steep, precipitous, and covered with scraggy
+rocks and immense boulders. From our position we
+commanded a fine view of Dug Gap, a narrow, artificial
+cut through the rocky summit, connecting with a road
+extending almost parallel with the ridge to the gap
+beyond, and by a zigzag course reaching the mountain’s
+base. The rebels had so completely fortified themselves
+that it was next to impossible for our assaulting force to
+get nearer than their base. As we approached the rebel
+line, a regiment was moved by left flank across our front.
+At this moment the rebel line opened a fire so deadly in
+effect that the regiment in our front became disordered
+and broke through our ranks to the rear, causing a momentary
+confusion in the ranks of the Twenty-ninth regiment.
+At this moment the order was given to advance,
+which was executed with a rush despite the deadly volleys
+that were cutting through our ranks. Up! up! we go
+to death or victory! and commenced to scale the obstructions
+close to their works; and now a storm of deadly
+missiles are hurled against us. Rocks, boulders, and
+even cart-wheels come crashing down upon us. Yet we
+moved steadily in the deadly advance until ordered back<span class="pagenum" id="Page_91">[91]</span>
+by our officers, when we retired a few paces to reform
+our line, the fallen trees only separating us from the
+enemy.</p>
+
+<p>Here we made a determined and bloody fight, but
+having no support to cover our flank we were subjected
+to a deadly cross-fire from the left, yet the regiment stubbornly
+stood its ground, returning shot for shot until its
+ammunition was exhausted. More was secured from the
+cartridge-boxes of the dead and wounded, and with this
+we fought on, determined to hold the position until reinforcements
+should reach us. Just before dusk an order
+came from the commanding general for the Twenty-ninth
+regiment to retire, all the other regiments having
+done so some time previous. To cover our retreat a
+line of skirmishers was thrown out, composed of men
+from each company who volunteered for this dangerous
+duty, and right nobly did they perform this work, firing
+with deadly precision as they retired from the field into
+the valley below, where the Twenty-ninth were already in
+bivouac, and comrades cheered lustily as the skirmishers
+came in, happy to know they had not met the fate of
+others.</p>
+
+<p>John Davis, of company B, a Scotchman by birth and
+one of the best shots in the regiment, fired the last shot
+in this day’s action, and was the last to leave the field.</p>
+
+<p>The Twenty-ninth regiment in this fight distinguished
+itself by brave conduct, though at last compelled to
+retire from lack of support. Our losses in killed and
+wounded was more than double that of any other regiment
+engaged: Killed, 26; wounded, 67; captured 1;
+total 94.</p>
+
+<p>General Geary highly complimented the regiment for
+its gallantry, remarking that he never saw men advance
+under such murderous fire, especially when unsupported<span class="pagenum" id="Page_92">[92]</span>
+and where the chances of success were so desperate.
+The Twenty-ninth regiment lost nearly one-third its
+numbers during this three hours’ engagement, and many
+were the individual acts of heroism displayed, which it
+would give the writer pleasure to record. As but few
+are now remembered, the remainder would suffer an injustice
+were these given. It is, however, but simple justice
+to state that the regiment fully sustained its previous
+reputation as a fighting organization, each individual
+doing his full share in the terrible work. Subsequent
+events proved that this assault was made to draw the
+enemy to this point, thus giving McPherson’s corps and
+Kilpatrick’s cavalry an opportunity to possess Snake
+Creek Gap, a desirable situation several miles in our
+right rear, opening a flank movement directly on the enemy’s
+rear.</p>
+
+<p>On May 9th we encamp at Mill Creek, near Johns
+Mountain, where we remain until 12 o’clock, midnight.
+We then move to the right and throw up earthworks.
+May 10th we are still at work. We receive the news of
+General Grant’s victory over General Lee at the Wilderness,
+near Chancellorsville, Virginia, where our regiment
+received such a baptism of blood a little more than a
+year since. Alas! how many of our brave boys have
+gone down to death since then.</p>
+
+<p>May 11th. Still in the same position, hourly expecting
+orders to move; quartermasters remove all extra baggage
+to the rear; all men unable for active service sent to
+hospital, and everything possible put into perfect fighting
+order, and by the way it’s ever so much nicer penning
+these lines here in our cosy room in the far away Western
+Reserve of the Buckeye State than was the actual experience
+in Secessia during those early May days of
+1864.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_93">[93]</span></p>
+
+<p>On the 12th instant we moved forward to Snake
+Creek Gap, forming a junction with the Fifteenth and
+Sixteenth corps (McPherson’s), where we remained during
+the night. At 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> on the following day
+we advanced toward Resaca, fully occupying Snake
+Creek Gap. Our cavalry are sharply engaged with the
+enemy. Here brave General Kilpatrick is wounded. At
+4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the battle is still raging fiercely, and the
+enemy are being slowly driven back. At last a hill is
+captured which covers the entire rebel line. Here we
+fortify and rest for the night.</p>
+
+<p>May 14th a severe engagement opens near Resaca;
+we advance by a circuitous route to the left; the Fourteenth
+corps is engaged; during the afternoon we
+joined our Twentieth corps and moving rapidly to the
+left; succeeded in rescuing a portion of the Fourth corps
+from disaster and defeat, and one of its batteries from
+certain capture, the infantry support having been driven
+back, leaving the battery at the mercy of the rebels.
+Robinson’s brigade, of Williams’ division, Twentieth
+corps, who were in the advance, fortunately reached the
+scene of action in time to prevent the capture of another
+battery by making a counter-charge on the advancing
+rebel legions. We came up soon after this support,
+which soon ended in the complete repulse of the rebels,
+driving them beyond their fortifications. The Twentieth
+army corps received the compliments of the commanding
+general, Hooker, for their gallant work, which resulted
+in a loss to the enemy of some four hundred men
+killed and wounded.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Battle of Resaca, Georgia&mdash;In Pursuit of the Fleeing Chivalry (?)</small></p>
+
+<p>At an early hour on the morning of May 15th sharp
+skirmishing opened along our entire front. General
+Geary’s Second division moved a short distance to the
+left and halted for orders. About 11 o’clock Generals
+Sherman, Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective
+staffs, reached the battlefield and immediately held a
+council of war. General Hooker is requested to assume
+command of selected troops to take the offensive, and
+is asked how large a force he required to capture a certain
+fort directly in our front, known to be the enemy’s
+stronghold and the key to his position. Hooker astonished
+his superiors by replying: “Geary’s division can,
+I think, carry that position if it can be done by anyone.”
+As this conversation was heard by our men we were prepared
+for what was to follow.</p>
+
+<p>As soon as General Geary had received his instructions,
+the Second division moved to the attack in the
+following orders: Second and Third brigades in the
+advance, with the First brigade closely massed in their
+rear, the latter advancing closely in support of the attacking
+column. Our advance was met with obstinate resistance,
+yet we steadily pushed forward, driving the enemy
+back and gaining possession of three lines of hills in
+rapid succession, the last of which was in close proximity
+to the rebel fort, only a narrow ravine intervening. The
+enemy are strongly entrenched in earthworks extending
+in the rear of the fort. The First brigade commenced<span class="pagenum" id="Page_95">[95]</span>
+a rapid firing at short range to cover the sortie being
+made by regiments of the Second and Third brigades.
+These regiments rush gallantly forward to the assault.
+They are repulsed but quickly reform, and, with other
+regiments sent to their support, they again pass forward.
+The fort was captured and lost three times in succession,
+but at last the rebels are forced to flee before our furious
+charge. Leaving the guns they join the main line.</p>
+
+<p>The Union forces prevented the rebels from again
+occupying the fort until dark, when detachments from
+the Twenty-ninth and other Ohio regiments of the First
+brigade were sent to open a trench through the earthworks
+of the fort through which to move the guns into
+the ravine below. The rebels discovering this charged
+down upon us to recapture the guns. Expecting such
+an attack the First brigade had moved forward into the
+ravine, and now waited the coming of the rebels. When
+close upon them a signal was given, which was followed
+by a sheet of flame along our whole line, dealing terrible
+destruction into the rebel ranks, immediately followed
+by a determined bayonet charge, which threw their
+lines into disorder and they fled panic-stricken over
+their fortifications, closely pursued by our command,
+whose loud huzzas sent Johnston’s army in rapid retreat,
+abandoned all its cannon, hospital, and commissary
+stores, and with their usual savagery leaving their own
+dead and wounded upon the field. We also captured
+many prisoners.</p>
+
+<p>This success was a grand victory for the “white star”
+division of the Twentieth corps, yet not unattended with
+losses, which were, however, light in comparison with
+those of the enemy. In fact, in the night attack we
+had so thoroughly surprised the enemy that but feeble
+resistance was made.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_96">[96]</span></p>
+
+<p>At an early hour on the morning of May 16th we
+pushed rapidly forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels.
+At 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> we came into line on the bank of the
+Coosa river, near the railroad bridge, which our cavalry
+had prevented the rebels from burning, though they had
+made repeated efforts to do so. The enemy’s flight was
+so rapid that he had not even time to seriously impair
+the railroad track. Our locomotives, with trains of supplies,
+soon came in sight. We now advanced across the
+river and encamped for the night.</p>
+
+<p>At 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> on May 17th, the general forward movement
+of our army was resumed. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment was the advance guard of its division, and
+assisted in driving the rebels from the little village of
+Calhoun, where we halt for the night. At 5 o’clock on
+the following morning we again moved forward in the
+direction of Rome, Georgia. At Rome cross-roads the
+rebels were met and promptly engaged by the Fourth
+corps; a lively fight ensued, resulting in slight losses on
+both sides. The enemy retreated, and we continued the
+pursuit until 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when we encamped for the
+night.</p>
+
+<p>On the next morning at early dawn we pushed forward,
+continuing until 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when we halt and
+form line near Kingston, Georgia. The whole force of
+the enemy are immediately on our front, and the Fourth
+corps promptly open fire upon them, which resulted in a
+further movement of the chivalry to the rear.</p>
+
+<p>We remain here until the morning of May 23d when
+we move about daylight via Cassville and Cass station to
+the Etowah river, which is crossed on pontoons, and a
+halt for the night made on its opposite bank. The next
+morning we resume the weary march, coming into
+line of battle at about 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> We advanced in this<span class="pagenum" id="Page_97">[97]</span>
+order up the Raccoon hills, or Allatoona range, until
+night, when we encamp at Burnt Hickory. The First
+brigade, as advance guard, moved ahead at daybreak,
+via the Burnt Hickory road.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Pumpkin Vine Creek&mdash;Dallas, or New Hope Church&mdash;Slight Unpleasantness&mdash;Personal.</small></p>
+
+<p>At Pumpkin Vine creek we discover the enemy and
+drive back his skirmishers, who are stationed on its opposite
+bank, recovering the bridge, which we cross and
+throw out skirmishers on the opposite side. While this
+was being accomplished, General Hooker and Staff, with
+a small body guard, pushed ahead to reconnoiter. He
+had not advanced far, however, when he was attacked by
+a force of rebel sharp shooters. He now came tearing
+back into our lines shouting to General Geary to move
+his First brigade into position to hold the enemy in
+check until the Second and Third brigades should come
+up, they being some four miles in our rear. We quickly
+formed line by columns to the right and left, the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio occupying position on the extreme left,
+Knapp’s battery taking position immediately in our rear,
+to cover the bridge in case we were forced to retire before
+reinforcements should reach us. As the left company
+of the Twenty-ninth were completing the battle-line
+a rebel column was found marching in close
+proximity to our flank.</p>
+
+<p>Ten paces to the front the skirmishers were hotly engaged,
+but our flank was uncovered. We immediately
+face to the left and prepare to fire, but are prevented by
+instructions not to draw on a general engagement but to
+hold the position at all hazards. The rebel column on
+our flank, however, slowly retired without firing a gun,
+and forming on their main line, which was massed in the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_99">[99]</span>
+woods a short distance to our front. During this time
+we hastily changed front in form of a semi-circle to protect
+us from flank attack. This movement was executed
+none too soon, as the enemy came immediately to the
+attack, and a sharp engagement opened all along the
+line, which was a hot one, yet it gallantly held its own
+until the balance of its division came up. Forming in
+column with us, we advance on the rebel line and drive
+them slowly back.</p>
+
+<p>The battle now became fierce and our assaults were
+heroically met. Generals Hooker and Geary were present
+and ordered the attack, the plan of which was to advance
+lines and fire, to be followed by bayonet charges, by
+which the enemy was steadily driven back. Our front
+line was frequently relieved by columns from the rear,
+thus keeping fresh men at the front. Geary’s division
+alone had driven Hood’s rebel corps back to the forks of
+the road at New Hope church, when Butterfield’s Third
+division arrived and took position on our left. Soon
+after, Williams came up with the First division and
+passed to the front, which allowed the Second division
+to drop in the reserve long enough to clean our firearms
+and replenish cartridge-boxes, when we again advance in
+support of the First and Third divisions.</p>
+
+<p>Just as the sun disappeared in the western horizon,
+General Geary ordered the First brigade to charge the
+enemy. This movement was executed on the double-quick,
+and as our columns passed in perfect alignment
+to the front, Butterfield’s and Williams’ commands
+greeted us with hearty cheers of genuine admiration.
+Onward the column rushes, and closing with the enemy
+delivers a terrible volley. The charge is continued, the
+air resounding with defiant cheers as the enemy is driven
+from the field and down a hill at a brisk run. It was<span class="pagenum" id="Page_100">[100]</span>
+now beginning to grow dark, and the impetuous rush of
+the men soon brought them within a short distance of a
+line of brush-covered work which concealed the enemy’s
+batteries, who at once opened a terrific and deadly fire of
+grape and canister into our ranks. Instantly falling on
+the ground, we deliver so destructive a fire on their
+cannoniers that their guns are soon silenced. Our left
+being without support, an attempt to carry their works
+was extremely hazardous. The regiment on our right
+had already retired some distance to our right rear, making
+the situation of the Twenty-ninth regiment one of
+great danger, but owing to the darkness we knew nothing
+of it until an officer of Geary’s staff came forward with
+an order to fall back, when we retired to a position some
+forty paces from the rebel line.</p>
+
+<p>The enemy had now ceased firing, and perfect silence
+reigned, only broken by the groans of the wounded and
+dying. The Twenty-ninth regiment had suffered severe
+loss, and only the favorable depression in its front saved
+it from annihilation. W. F. Stevens, captain of company
+B, was wounded in this action.</p>
+
+<p>The Fifth Ohio, on our right on higher ground, suffered
+fearfully from the masked batteries, one company being
+almost entirely decimated. This caused the regiment to
+retire to the knoll. Colonel Patrick, a most gallant
+officer of the Fifth, was killed, also seventy-five of his
+men killed and wounded. The loss of the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio in this charge was forty killed and wounded, shot
+down in almost the short space of time required to
+record it.</p>
+
+<p>It was not long before we heard tremendous cheering
+in the distance on our right front, which was caused by
+Sherman moving a force in that direction, turning the
+rebel flank, which was soon in full retreat. Immediately<span class="pagenum" id="Page_101">[101]</span>
+after, sounds were heard in the supposed deserted rebel
+works, which we believed were our own men who had
+recently occupied them, and by reason of this supposed
+safety our whole command was soon in slumber deep
+and heavy from exhaustion of the day’s labor.</p>
+
+<p>At early dawn on May 26th the enemy discovered our
+close proximity, and at once opened upon us with artillery,
+and at about the same time advanced its infantry
+to attack us in our rear. This movement was discovered,
+however, in time to prevent its further progress.
+After a hot fight the enemy retired to his fortifications.
+During the day several attempts were made in the same
+direction, but without effect. Near the close of the day
+we were temporarily relieved and retired to a ravine a
+few yards in our rear, where we received rations, the first
+“square meal” in two days.</p>
+
+<p>At an early hour the following morning (May 27th)
+our artillery took position at the breastworks and opened
+a furious cannonading, which is replied to with spirit by
+the rebel batteries. During the afternoon the enemy
+made a sortie on our line, a general engagement ensued,
+and the rebels were beaten back. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment loss was slight, we being well protected by rifle
+pits. The rebel loss in this attack was severe, their dead
+and wounded being thickly strewn in front of our works.
+During this attack General Sherman and staff took position
+in our rear. General Hooker is generally where the
+bullets fly thickest, and his utter disregard of danger has
+won the love of the “boys,” who call him “Uncle Joe,”
+and who are all, at any time, ready to go through fire if
+he so desires, knowing he will not ask them to go where
+he fears to lead.</p>
+
+<p>The battle continues throughout the following day,
+with brisk infantry firing and heavy cannonading almost<span class="pagenum" id="Page_102">[102]</span>
+incessantly. As night again shrouds the bloody field the
+Twenty-ninth regiment, with the exception of company
+B, which was on the skirmish line, relieved the Seventh
+Ohio, One Hundred and Ninth, and One Hundred and
+Forty-seventh Pennsylvania. The rebels were unusually
+quiet during the night. Company B remained on the
+skirmish nearly all of the following day and was kept
+hotly engaged. The company’s position was not more
+than eight rods from the rebel outposts, who made it extremely
+hot for us as we went back and forth to the relief
+of our comrades, and sometimes unsoldierly attitudes
+were assumed to evade their deadly aim. Late in the
+day company B was relieved. Henry Brainard, Spencer
+Atkin, and Henry Clark volunteered to go out and bring
+in the bodies of Albert Atkin, C. A. Davis, and Jerome
+Phinney, which they did, the enemy opening fire upon
+them with musketry and artillery, the deadly missiles flying
+thick and fast about them. Such was the treatment
+of the “chivalry” to men bravely exposing themselves
+to give Christian interment to the gallant men who had
+fought their last battle. However, none were injured.
+While performing the last sad rites of burial, the rebels
+came out in a sortie and made furious assaults along our
+entire line. Our men reserved their fire until the enemy
+were close upon them, when, at a given signal, some
+twenty cannon, double shotted with grape, opened fire,
+which made the earth tremble with their awful thunder,
+while the infantry sent deadly volleys into their ranks.
+The result of this fire was most terrible slaughter to the
+enemy, who broke and ran anywhere to cover, leaving
+several hundred dead and dying behind, the ground
+between the two lines being literally covered with the
+rebel dead. During the 30th there were several sharp
+fights, our regiment having several men wounded. May<span class="pagenum" id="Page_103">[103]</span>
+31st the regiment was under fire, as usual, the greater
+part of the day, and at night was engaged in the construction
+of an advanced line of works, under a heavy
+fire from the entire rebel line. Before they were fully
+completed the rebels commenced an attack and we fell
+back on the main line. General Geary being present,
+exclaimed, “Get back to your command in readiness for
+an engagement.” One ensued, which resulted in driving
+the enemy back with severe loss to them. We now
+resumed work and finally succeeded in completing the
+line, though continually annoyed by the enemy’s firing.</p>
+
+<p>On the morning of June 1st the regiment resumed its
+place on the front line and was soon furiously engaged,
+which continued during the fore part of the day. At
+noon the Twentieth corps was relieved by Logan’s Fifteenth
+corps and moved to the left as support to the
+Fourth corps (General Howard). The following morning
+we moved towards the left and at 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>
+formed line and pushed forward in concert with Schofield’s
+Twenty-third corps. We capture two lines of
+rebel works, the enemy falling back. That night we
+slept on our arms. At dawn on the 3d we advanced
+and were soon engaged with the enemy, the skirmishing
+along our whole line being very strong. During the day
+Sherman succeeded in turning the rebel right, causing
+him to retire with severe loss. Twenty-ninth loss:
+Killed, six; wounded, twenty-four; captured, one; total
+thirty-one. This is the tenth day we have been under
+fire. 4th.&mdash;Firing during all of last night. All quiet
+to-day.</p>

+<p class="center"><small>Advance to Pine Knob&mdash;Battle at that Place&mdash;A Forward Movement.</small></p>
+
+<p>At 5 o’clock on the morning of June 6th, the army
+pushed forward after the retreating enemy. When about
+two miles from Ackworth Station he makes a stand, and
+we wheel into line, the Twenty-ninth acting as skirmishers
+while the other troops were engaged in preparing
+rifle-pits. The Fourteenth corps now came up, forming
+on our left, and General Howard’s Fourth corps on our
+right. The position remained the same until June 10th,
+when the Twenty-ninth Ohio is sent forward on a reconnoissance.
+A large force of rebels are found to be
+strongly entrenched on Pine mountain. At dark the
+regiment returned to the main line, where the situation
+remains unchanged until June 14th, when our entire
+force move forward. The Twentieth, with the Fourth
+corps on its left, take position immediately in front of
+the rebel army, on Pine mountain. At evening the
+Twenty-ninth was again advanced to the skirmish line,
+and was engaged, as was our artillery, throughout the
+greater part of the night. On the following day, June
+15th, occurs the battle of Pine Knob, Georgia.</p>
+
+<p>At early dawn our regiment pushed forward as the
+advance of a general flank movement on Pine mountain,
+which resulted in its capture without severe fighting.
+The Twentieth corps was changed from the front to the
+right. Moving rapidly in that direction it soon reached
+another strongly entrenched position of the enemy,
+when the column made a left half wheel, which brought<span class="pagenum" id="Page_105">[105]</span>
+the first brigade of Geary’s division directly in front of
+Pine Knob.</p>
+
+<p>This position of the enemy was found to be strongly
+fortified. Twenty embrazures, from which as many cannon
+bristled, covered all the approaches to it. General
+Hooker ordered General Geary to send two regiments in
+a sortie against the rebel position, and the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments, the
+latter on our left, were at once forwarded to the assault.
+General Hooker, mounted on his famous gray charger,
+advanced with us, immediately in rear of our line. The
+general’s presence greatly encouraged the men in this
+desperate undertaking.</p>
+
+<p>On the hill were the twenty cannon, which we knew
+would soon belch forth destruction to our ranks. The
+two regiments silently but rapidly cross a ravine where
+they encounter two rebel regiments. These proved to
+be the First and Twenty-ninth Georgia. We opened
+fire briskly and charging upon them soon drove them in
+disorder to the rear.</p>
+
+<p>We pursued them so hotly that our standard-bearer
+was at one time within a few paces of the rebel Twenty-ninth
+Georgia colors, which we were making desperate
+efforts to capture. The rebel color-bearer was shot,
+but their flag was grasped again by another rebel who
+escaped with it into their fortification. But the regiment
+to which he belonged was nearly annihilated before it
+succeeded in regaining its main line. Our regiment had
+rushed upon them forcing them back step by step until
+they were under cover, and we had succeeded in killing,
+wounding, and taking prisoners all except the little handful
+who escaped with the flag. At the moment of their
+escape we made a dash to carry their fortifications, but
+were checked by abattis and a deep trench hidden by<span class="pagenum" id="Page_106">[106]</span>
+brush. At this point their artillery opened with murderous
+discharges of grape and canister, which produced
+terrible destruction in our ranks. Still the line stands
+firm. Another instant and our men are laying flat upon
+the ground and the deadly missiles go hissing harmlessly
+through the air over our heads. We now open a fire
+upon their cannoniers, so deadly in its character that the
+guns are soon silenced.</p>
+
+<p>Night was fast coming on when our line was ordered
+to fall back to a more secure position. The men now
+engage in the erection of earthworks within a few rods of
+the rebel fort on the knob, which placed the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio in the extreme front, our flanking regiments
+assuming a circular position on our right and left rear.
+We were under fire all night, the rebel infantry and artillery
+keeping up an almost continuous rattle in their
+endeavors to drive our men from their labors on the fortifications.
+Despite this, however, we held our position,
+though suffering a constant loss in our ranks.</p>
+
+<p>Just at daybreak on the 16th instant the Sixty-sixth
+Ohio, of our brigade from the reserve, relieved us; we,
+however, left them well protected by the strong earthworks
+constructed during the night.</p>
+
+<p>The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment went into this
+action with two hundred members, of whom thirty-nine
+were killed and wounded. Among the killed was First
+Sergeant Joel E. Tanner, one of our bravest men. Soon
+after his death his commission reached us promoting
+him to a captaincy for bravery in action. God help that
+little wife of his in her far away northern home to bear
+his death bravely as the wife of a soldier should, even
+though all her hopes and bright anticipations seem shattered
+by the blow. Generals Joe Hooker and Geary
+announced in warm terms their admiration of the “gallant<span class="pagenum" id="Page_107">[107]</span>
+manner in which the Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania regiments conducted themselves in
+the assault on Pine Knob.” The former remarked that
+taking into consideration the deadly fire we were exposed
+to, we had accomplished that which he never saw so
+small a force attempt before. As he was present in the
+assault his opinion is of value.</p>
+
+<p>Sharp skirmishing and artillery firing continued along
+the line during the day. At night the Twenty-ninth
+regiment moved to the front, relieving the Sixty-sixth
+Ohio regiment. It was nearly morning when we discovered
+that the enemy were withdrawing their artillery.
+We at once advanced and possessed the rebel fortifications
+on the hill with little trouble, as the artillery had
+already withdrawn and the infantry were rapidly following.
+After daylight we pushed forward, only to find the
+enemy in another strong position, which we at once attacked.
+A rambling fire was kept up during the entire
+day.</p>
+
+<p>During the following day (June 18th) the same state
+of affairs continued, the firing extending along our entire
+front. At an early hour next morning the enemy retreated,
+and we moved in pursuit, the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio regiment, as usual, in the advance as skirmishers.
+Why, I believe the “boys” would have rebelled had they
+not been put on the skirmish line whenever there was a
+prospect of somebody being killed on our side. Rapidly
+we gained possession of two lines of hills, and soon
+found the enemy upon a third ridge, strongly fortified.
+A skirmish of two hours’ duration ensues, and we are
+ordered to fall back to the main line, as support to
+Bundy’s Thirteenth New York battery.</p>
+
+<p>June 20th the Twenty-ninth regiment and its brigade
+are in line three miles southwest of Marietta, Georgia,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_108">[108]</span>
+and skirmished all day with the enemy. As night came
+on our division moved to the right, forming on the right
+of Butterfield’s Third division. Our regiment was again
+on the skirmish line, and in active engagement during
+the greater part of the night. The next morning we
+formed line of battle near Culp’s farm and to the right
+of Little Kenesaw mountain. At about 11 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> our
+regiment was withdrawn from the skirmish line, and at
+once began throwing up rifle-pits parallel with works of
+Williams’ First division on our right and Butterfield’s on
+our left. The Third brigade of the Second division now
+advanced and engaged the enemy, our single line affording
+feeble protection in the event of an attack on our
+position.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Battle of Culp’s Farm or Kenesaw Mountain&mdash;The Glorious Fourth&mdash;Advance
+to the Chattahoochie.</small></p>
+
+<p>June 22d we move to the front, and occupy a ridge on
+Culp’s farm, which covers the level on our front. We
+had been but a short time in this position when the
+rebel General Hood’s corps was moved directly on our
+front, and immediately advanced in furious attack upon
+the divisions of Generals Geary and Williams. Our
+artillery was at once turned upon the advancing rebel
+columns, which, with the terrific volleys our infantry
+poured into their ranks, produced a sudden check to their
+further advance, and in less than one hour these two
+divisions succeeded in beating back and putting to total
+rout Hood’s entire command, which suffered great loss,
+while ours was but slight. The enemy left on the field
+2,100 killed, wounded, and prisoners, besides many
+wounded, removed from the field. The estimated rebel
+loss was 3,000 men. Eight hundred of the rebel dead
+were buried on the field.</p>
+
+<p>At the close of this action a body of our skirmishers
+were deployed over the field, finding the enemy’s dead
+and wounded scattered thickly about. In places they
+lay stretched across each other, literally heaped up,
+bloody, terrible&mdash;dead. Our skirmishers advanced rapidly,
+and were soon engaged with the enemy’s rear, but
+this soon ceased, and we established a picket line for the
+night. We remained on the field until noon of the 23d,
+when we were retired and rejoined the main line.</p>
+
+<p>At about 4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, one hundred guns opened a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_110">[110]</span>
+simultaneous fire on Little Kenesaw mountain. Directly
+in front of our regiment and across the creek, which flows
+along the base of the mountain, is level ground. At
+this point is situated a block-house and rifle-pits, the
+latter between the house and mountain, and both now
+held by rebel sharpshooters, who were continually picking
+off our cannoniers. General Geary, evidently contemplating
+an advance of his line, called for twenty
+volunteers from the Twenty-ninth regiment to dislodge
+these troublesome occupants of the block-house and
+rifle-pits. In response to this call two men from each
+company came quickly forward, and at once advanced
+across the creek and ravine. The rebels soon discovered
+the detachment; and opened fire upon it. Sergeant
+Griswold, of Company B, in command, rapidly advanced
+his men up the rise of open ground lying between him
+and the enemy, and with a rush amidst a perfect storm
+of bullets, closed on the rifle-pits, capturing all who
+remained in them.</p>
+
+<p>We now approach the rear of the block-house and
+demand its surrender. The rebel lieutenant in command
+exclaimed from the window of the house: “You
+d&mdash;d yanks, take us if you can!” and immediately
+opened fire. The door of the house is soon battered
+down, and the rebels attempt to cut their way out.
+Finding themselves covered by nearly a score of rifles,
+aimed by determined men, all, with the exception of the
+rebel lieutenant and one other, threw down their arms
+and surrendered. The rebel officer fired on the captors
+and lost his life by his rashness. We had now a total of
+twenty-one prisoners. Several others were killed or
+badly wounded. The former were sent at once to the
+rear, and the little force deployed along the road to hold
+the position until reinforcements should arrive. However,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_111">[111]</span>
+they were not furnished, and after holding the position
+some two hours a heavy body of rebels came
+upon us, stealing along under cover of the bushes on
+the opposite side of the road, suddenly arose and fired
+a volley at us. The speed we made across the level
+field with the rebels in hot pursuit, their bullets whistling
+past our ears in the most energetic manner, would have
+dismayed a professional pedestrian.</p>
+
+<p>June 24th, skirmishing during the day. As night
+came on a detachment of the Twenty-ninth regiment
+was sent out on picket. Nothing occurred during the
+night, and at dawn we returned to our brigade, where
+orders were received to hold ourselves in readiness to
+move on notice, cannonading and skirmish fighting being
+kept up along the line.</p>
+
+<p>The situation remained unchanged until June 27th.
+At an early hour this morning two men from each company
+of our regiment volunteered to advance to the relief
+of the Pennsylvania regiment on the outposts, and
+about 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> we moved forward. We were also
+to dislodge the rebel sharpshooters, who had been allowed
+to again possess the block-house and rifle-pits. Crossing
+the creek and ravine we made a quick dash toward the
+locality mentioned, amid a hot cross-fire from rebels
+along the fence before referred to. But as we close the
+rebels abandon the block-house and rifle-pits, yet dispute
+with the energy of desperation, every inch of our advance
+as they retire. We, however, gained possession
+of the road beyond the house, an important position
+covering the rebel left on Little Kenesaw.</p>
+
+<p>They now opened fire on us from the mountain on
+our left and front. Making a flank movement to the
+left we came up in rear of some rebel rifle-pits, capturing
+eleven prisoners and holding the position until the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_112">[112]</span>
+Fifth Ohio regiment came to our support. That regiment
+at once began to fortify, while we remained on the
+skirmish line under constant fire. The enemy discovered
+the work of the Fifth and trained their batteries
+from different directions on our position, and also advanced
+infantry, who made repeated attempts to dislodge
+us. Solid shot and shell came crashing through
+the block-house, the shells bursting amongst us in quick
+succession. Nor were their musketry behind in sending
+their death-dealing missiles upon us.</p>
+
+<p>Knapp’s battery soon came up the hill, and swinging
+into position, unlimbered and opened a rapid cross-fire
+on Little Kenesaw mountain. About this time the
+Fourteenth, with a portion of the Fourth corps, made a
+desperate assault on the mountain a short distance to our
+left. The engagement now became serious, one shell
+killing twelve and another six of our men. To hold the
+position we had captured was an arduous undertaking,
+and so severe was the fighting that those of us who had
+advanced early in the morning had fired nearly two hundred
+rounds. At dusk the fighting ceased, and we are
+recalled to our command.</p>
+
+<p>June 28th.&mdash;This morning at sunrise we advance
+obliquely to the right, and, reaching an advanced position,
+throw up fortifications; rebel batteries open fire on us
+meanwhile. Our lookout, as he sees smoke issue from
+the rebel guns, calls out: “Lay down,” “lay low,” or
+“look out, she’s coming,” etc. Many laughable and other
+incidents occurred during this bombardment, such as attempts
+to dodge shells, etc. Charles Upton, of Company
+G, while carrying a rail, had it cut in two by a shell; he,
+however, escaped unhurt.</p>
+
+<p>June 29th.&mdash;To-day the Fourteenth corps obtained a
+temporary truce under flag, during which they interred<span class="pagenum" id="Page_113">[113]</span>
+their dead. An assault is made on this corps during the
+early part of the night, but is repulsed, and we were not
+again disturbed.</p>
+
+<p>June 30th.&mdash;During this afternoon the Twenty-ninth
+regiment received orders to move. About 10 o’clock at
+night our corps (the Twentieth) was relieved by the
+Fourteenth. We at once marched several miles to the
+right in relief of the Twenty-third corps.</p>
+
+<p>On July 1st our regiment was again engaged. The
+fighting ceased only with daylight. Sharp skirmishing
+and severe cannonading continued during the entire day
+of the 2d, and at night the Twenty-ninth regiment occupied
+its customary position&mdash;on the skirmish line. This
+time, however, it was accompanied by the Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania. Just before daylight on the morning of
+July 3d, the enemy were found to be retreating, and we
+at once moved forward to find the works deserted, the
+troops having evacuated. The position, as supposed,
+was almost impregnable to direct assault, being constructed
+to enfilade an attack of infantry.</p>
+
+<p>The army now push forward in pursuit of the retreating
+rebels, the Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania taking the advance in the order of heavy
+skirmishers. We soon came upon Wheeler’s rebel
+cavalry, and engaged his dismounted men so promptly
+that they fell precipitately back to where their horses
+were picketed. The Twenty-ninth succeeded in capturing
+nearly one hundred of them in their hurried efforts
+to remount. The Second division during the pursuit
+captured nearly nine hundred prisoners. The rebels were
+steadily falling back on the Chattahoochie river. It was
+late when we halted for the night. How sweet the wooing
+of the drowsy god after such long continued fatigue,
+only those who have been there can imagine, the soft side<span class="pagenum" id="Page_114">[114]</span>
+of a rail on such occasions being more luxurious than
+any patent spring contrivance of to-day.</p>
+
+<p>July 4th. On this day, made glorious to all this goodly
+land by the forefathers of both the blue and gray, was
+celebrated by the issue of full rations of hard-tack,
+s&mdash;&mdash;, bacon, and coffee, and wonderful feats of gormandizing
+ensued. To make the day something of a
+reminder of the Northern anniversary, with its tearing
+headache of the 5th, General “Joe” ordered an issue
+of liquor to the men, the first of the campaign. About
+4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> we broke camp and marched towards the
+left, but soon came to a halt for the night.</p>
+
+<p>At dawn on the following day we pushed forward and
+took possession of a line of works the rebels had only
+evacuated on our approach. They are now crossing
+Chattahoochie river. The advance is continued until
+within about one and one-half miles of the river, where
+we encounter a second line of rebel works, occupied by
+the enemy to cover the retreat across the river.</p>
+
+<p>July 6th we occupy the position of yesterday. During
+the forenoon our regiment was support of Bundy’s
+New York battery, engaged in shelling the rebels from a
+fort. About 2 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> we returned with the battery to the
+main line, and one hour later moved with our division to
+the left and formed line of battle, in which position we
+passed the night. On the day following we marched to
+the left and assumed position in line between the Fourteenth
+and Fifteenth corps. Sharp skirmishing was kept
+up nearly all night. This position is maintained by our
+regiment, with daily skirmishing, until the early dawn of
+July 10th, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio is pushed forward
+on a reconnoissance. We discover that the enemy
+have retreated across the Chattahoochie. On reaching
+the river we deploy as skirmishers along the north bank,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_115">[115]</span>
+the enemy being posted along the opposite side. Atlanta
+lies only nine miles to the south of us. The rebel
+army of General Joe E. Johnston is said to be strongly
+intrenched some four miles south of our position. A
+small number only of rebels remain on the opposite bank
+of the Chattahoochie. The Union and rebel pickets
+are on good terms, often meeting in the middle of the
+river, where they exchange coffee for tobacco, which, by
+the way, was a very scarce article with us. The Twenty-ninth
+Ohio regiment now musters only one hundred and
+fifty men for duty. The mustering officer tells us that
+we have lost more men killed and wounded in proportion
+to the number present at the beginning of this campaign
+than any regiment in the Western army.</p>
+
+<p>July 6, we were in support of a battery during the
+forenoon. During the afternoon we moved to the left,
+camping in a beautiful grove of pines.</p>
+
+<p>7th. Moved forward some three miles, to a ridge
+commanding a fine view of the country.</p>
+
+<p>11th. The rebels have crossed Chattahoochie river.
+Our pickets are posted on its north bank.</p>
+
+<p>17th. Moved forward to the left, crossed the Chattahoochie
+river at Peace ferry about 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span></p>
+
+<p>18th. Moved forward some two miles, skirmishing
+much of the distance.</p>
+
+<p>19th. Advanced to Peach Tree creek, which we
+crossed, encountering the enemy and taking some
+prisoners.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Battle of Peach Tree Creek&mdash;Some of the “boys” go to Andersonville.</small></p>
+
+<p>On the morning of July 20th, just as old Sol was tinting
+the east with his rosy hue, our army began a general
+forward movement, the Twentieth corps in this advance
+being on the right centre, the Fourth corps left, resting
+on our right, and Newton’s division (Fourth corps) connecting
+with our left. Slight skirmishing ensued early
+in the morning, but towards noon the enemy retired.
+The unbroken stillness which followed caused us to advance
+cautiously lest the rebels draw us into an ambush.
+On reaching Peach Tree creek, a narrow, sluggish stream,
+whose abrupt banks, covered with briars and a dense,
+almost impassable undergrowth, would be a fatal barrier
+to a routed army, especially as the stream was without
+bridges, the entire command came to a halt until crossings
+could be constructed. Previous to the crossing of
+the main line General Geary ordered forward a force in
+reconnoissance, consisting of the Twenty-ninth Ohio,
+Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, a detachment of the
+Thirty-third New Jersey, and four pieces of Bundy’s
+New York battery, Geary himself following and directing
+the movement. When once across we advanced
+over several rough sparsely wooded ravines until reaching
+an eminence overlooking a narrow, open valley
+on our front and left. Immediately on our right
+front was a piece of heavy timber, extending also on
+our rear. The ridge directly in our front was covered
+with a thick undergrowth, affording a fine position for an<span class="pagenum" id="Page_117">[117]</span>
+ambuscade. Our force was now brought to a halt.
+Bundy’s battery was hastily put into position on the ridge
+to cover the valley. The Twenty-ninth Ohio assumed
+position on the right, and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+on the left of the battery. D. E. Hurlburt, captain of
+company K, had charge of a detail from the Twenty-ninth
+and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments in the skirmish of
+the timber, so he states.</p>
+
+<p>The detachment of the Thirty-third New Jersey
+deployed as skirmishers across the valley in our front,
+General Geary and staff following closely in its rear.
+While they were advancing, we hastily constructed a
+light barricade of fence rails, and Bundy prepared his
+battery for business. We anxiously watched General
+Geary and the skirmishers as they cautiously moved up
+the ridge.</p>
+
+<p>When within a few yards of the underbrush a large
+force of rebels came from cover, and with wild yells
+rushed forward. Captain Bundy at once opened fire
+upon them, which threw them into disorder, but did not
+check their advance. As Geary and staff passed over our
+line his chief, Captain Elliott, fell from his horse, shot
+dead. Geary shouted to us, “A general engagement! a
+general engagement! My brave men hold to your position.
+I will send support to you.” He was answered
+with rousing cheers. When the little remnant of the
+skirmishing force had come in we commenced a rapid
+fire in connection with Captain Bundy’s double-shotted
+guns, which speedily thinned the advancing columns of
+rebels, but without avail, as the breaks were at once filled
+with fresh troops. As the rebels attempted to close with
+us our men seemed to be endowed with the valor born
+of desperation, and clubbed them back. Forward they
+came, a dense mass of living fire, and bravely we sustained<span class="pagenum" id="Page_118">[118]</span>
+the shock of twenty times our number. The
+sharp rattle of musketry, the loud roar of Bundy’s guns,
+and the defiant shouts of the combatants, in close hand
+to hand conflict, can never be erased from the tablets of
+memory while life shall last. It was grandly, awfully
+terrible.</p>
+
+<p>A dense smoke settled around the battery and enclosing
+the extreme left of the regiment, hid the position of
+our right. Suddenly firing begins on us from our rear.
+The cannoniers are disabled and the infantry are called
+upon to work the guns, which were instantly turned to
+the rear upon heavy masses of rebels advancing from
+the woods on our flank. The greater part of our regiment
+had discovered this movement in time to change
+front to rear, but were instantly forced back by the overwhelming
+numbers of the rebels, and those in charge of
+the battery were instantly surrounded by a powerful mob
+of yelling fiends. Still the double-shotted guns continue
+to belch forth fire and death, cutting great gaps in the
+ranks of the enemy at each discharge.</p>
+
+<p>At the guns’ front, with muskets clubbed, a hand to
+hand conflict was had, to allow the reloading of the guns.
+The situation was now most desperate. A cordon of
+the enemy hemmed in the brave band, now reduced to
+but seventy men, whose ammunition was exhausted, and
+at last they were forced to surrender the battery. Henry
+Rood, of company A, and Henry E. Clark, company B,
+are the only names the writer has been able to secure of
+those captured at this time.</p>
+
+<p>General Geary came up soon after, charged the enemy
+and recovered the battery, which was instantly turned
+upon the rebels, causing great destruction. The prisoners
+were, however, too far in the rear for recapture, and
+they were conveyed to that loathsome earthly hell, Andersonville.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_119">[119]</span>
+What they endured, the cruelties of the studied
+starvation by express order of chivalric Jeff Davis, and
+the horrible atrocities accorded to defenseless prisoners
+by the Southern opponents in this unholy, ungodly conflict,
+the writer will not attempt to describe; language
+fails in the recital. Loss: Killed, two; wounded, seven;
+captured, five; total fourteen.</p>

+
+<p>July 21st, heavy skirmishing on our right. 22d, we
+moved forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels. 23d,
+we are now strongly intrenched, within two miles of
+Atlanta, Georgia; lively skirmishing much of the time.
+24th, shelling and picket firing to-day; rebels charged
+our line but were repulsed. 25th, brisk firing all day.
+26th, advanced our line forty rods. 27th, quiet along
+the lines. 28th, heavy firing on our right; the rebels
+are repulsed. 29th and 30th, fighting continues.</p>
+
+<p>August 1st to 3d, hot firing all the time. 4th, National
+Thanksgiving Day; fighting on our right; rebels
+driven back; skirmishing every day&mdash;all the time; getting
+monotonous. 25th, left our works and fell back to the
+Chattahoochie river, near Vining station; marched all
+night. 27th, Major-general W. H. Slocum assumed
+command of the Twentieth army corps.</p>
+
+<p>September 4th, moved forward to Atlanta, which we
+reached about 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>; marched through the
+city and went into camp about one and one-half miles
+west of the city. 6th, received an order from General
+Sherman that the campaign was ended, and that the
+troops are to have a full month’s rest; that our task was
+not only done, but well done. 12th, the citizens of Atlanta
+were moved south to-day; from this date we lay
+in camp with little to mar our happiness till November
+1st, when we received orders to send all our baggage to
+the rear and put ourselves in light marching order.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_121">[121]</span>
+November 5th, orders having been received for the
+troops to move, the Twenty-ninth struck tents and
+marched from Atlanta at 3:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> in the direction of
+Stone Mountain, some three miles, and camped for the
+night. At 1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> on the following day, the regiment
+marched back to Atlanta, and again occupied its
+old camp.</p>
+
+<p>During the afternoon of the 1st of September specific
+orders for the withdrawal of Stewart’s rebel <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">corps de
+armee</i> and the militia were issued, and about sunset the
+latter were withdrawn from the trenches. When they
+were fairly on the road Stewart’s corps followed, all being
+en route by midnight, except the cavalry, a brigade or
+two of infantry, and the pickets. These latter remained
+until the advance of the Twentieth corps neared the city
+on the morning of the 2d. The explosion of ammunition
+was of course heard at the position of the Twentieth
+corps, and though General Slocum (who it appears was
+in command of the Twentieth corps at the time) had received
+no intelligence of Sherman’s great success at
+Jonesboro, he was not unprepared to find Hood gone
+any morning, and the explosions convinced him that the
+withdrawal was taking place. He instantly issued orders
+to his division commanders, Generals Ward, Williams,
+and Geary, to send out each a heavy reconnoissance at
+daybreak on the morning of the 2d.</p>
+
+<p>About 1,000 men were detailed from each division,
+and at 5 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> pushed forward on neighboring roads into
+Atlanta on the north and northwest, encountering no opposition.
+They pushed rapidly forward, and at 8 o’clock
+came in sight of the rebel intrenchments, so lately occupied
+with enemies but now silent and deserted.</p>
+
+<p>Advancing rapidly, Colonel Coburn, commanding
+General Ward’s reconnoissance, entered the enemy’s<span class="pagenum" id="Page_122">[122]</span>
+works, encountering in the suburbs Mayor Calhoun, of
+Atlanta, and a deputation of the city council. The former
+nervously presented a paper surrendering the city
+and asking protection. Colonel Coburn refused to receive
+the paper for informality, and directed that another
+should be drawn up. Mayor Calhoun invited several of
+General Ward’s staff to accompany him to the court-house,
+where the documents should be made <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">en regle</i>,
+promising at the same time to expel the drunken rebel
+stragglers, who were lingering in the streets and were disposed
+to skirmish with our advance. He immediately
+took measures to effect the last, and accompanied by the
+officers whose names are offered in attest, he returned to
+the court-house, and the following document was drawn
+up:</p>

+promptly and erect. A fine flag-staff was found on the
+Franklin printing house, where the Memphis Appeal had
+been printed. The stars and stripes were soon flung to

+good order, stored in various parts of the city, were
+found; also three locomotives in running order, and
+large quantities of manufactured tobacco were discovered.
+Between one and two hundred stragglers, the

+</p>
+
+<p>“The major-general commanding the army congratulates
+the troops upon the brilliant success attending the
+Union arms in the late battles. In the battle of the
+20th instant, in which the Twentieth corps, one division
+of the Fourth corps, and part of the Fourteenth corps
+were engaged, the total union loss in killed, wounded,
+and missing was 1,733. In front of the Twentieth corps
+there were put out of the fight 6,000 rebels; 563 of the
+enemy were buried by our own troops, and the rebels
+were permitted to bury 250. The Second division of
+the Fourth corps repulsed seven different assaults of the
+enemy with light loss to themselves, and which must
+have swelled the number of dead buried by the rebels to
+beyond 300. We also captured seven stands of colors.
+No official report has been received of the part taken in
+the battle by the Fourteenth corps. In the battle of the
+22d instant, the total Union loss in killed, wounded, and
+missing was 3,500, and also 10 pieces of artillery. The
+rebel loss in prisoners captured was 3,200. The known
+dead of the enemy in front of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth
+corps and one division of the Seventeenth corps
+was 2,142. The other divisions of the Seventeenth<span class="pagenum" id="Page_124">[124]</span>
+corps repulsed six assaults of the enemy before they fell
+back, and which will swell the rebel loss in killed to at
+least 3,000. The latest reports state that we buried over
+3,200 rebels killed in this fight. There were captured
+from the enemy in this battle 18 stands of colors and
+5,000 stands of arms.</p>

+<p>“The officers and soldiers of the armies of the Cumberland,
+Ohio, and Tennessee have already received the
+thanks of the Nation through its President and commander
+in chief, and it remains now only for him who
+has been with you from the beginning, and who intends
+to stay all the time, to thank the officers and men for
+their intelligence, fidelity, and courage displayed in the
+campaign of Atlanta. On the 1st day of May our armies
+were lying in garrison, seemingly quiet, from Knoxville
+to Huntsville, and our enemy lay behind his rocky-faced
+barrier at Dalton, proud, defiant, and exultant. He
+had time since Christmas to recover from his discomfiture
+on the Mission Ridge, with his ranks filled, and a
+new commander in chief, second to none of the Confederacy
+in reputation for skill, sagacity, and extreme
+popularity. All at once our armies assumed life and
+action and appeared before Dalton. Threatening Rocky
+Face, we threw ourselves upon Resaca, and the rebel
+army only escaped by the rapidity of its retreat, aided
+by the numerous roads with which he was familiar, and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_125">[125]</span>
+which were strange to us. Again he took post, at Allatoona,
+but we gave him no rest, and by a circuit toward
+Dallas and a subsequent movement to Ackworth, we
+gained the Allatoona pass. Then followed the eventful
+battles about Kenesaw and the escape of the enemy
+across the Chattahoochie river. The crossing of the
+Chattahoochie and breaking of the Augusta road was
+most handsomely executed by us, and will be studied as
+an example in the art of war. At this stage of our game
+our enemies became dissatisfied with their old and skilful
+commander and selected one more bold and rash.
+New tactics were adopted. Hood first boldly and
+rapidly on the 20th of July fell on our right at Peach
+Tree creek, and lost again. On the 22d he struck our
+extreme left and was severely punished; and finally again
+on the 28th he repeated the attempt on our right, and
+that time must have been satisfied, for since that date he
+has remained on the defensive. We slowly and gradually
+drew our lines about Atlanta, feeling for the railroads
+which supplied the rebel army and made Atlanta a place
+of importance. We must concede to our enemy that
+he met these efforts patiently and skilfully, but at last he
+made the mistake we had waited for so long and sent
+his cavalry to our rear, far beyond the reach of recall.
+Instantly our cavalry was on his only remaining road,
+and we followed quickly with our principal army, and
+Atlanta fell into our possession as the fruit of well-concerted
+measures, backed by a brave and competent army.
+This completed the grand task which had been assigned
+us by our Government, and your general again repeats
+his personal and official thanks to all the officers and
+men composing this army for the indomitable courage
+and perseverance which alone could give success. We
+have beaten our enemy on every ground he has chosen,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_126">[126]</span>
+and have wrested from him his own Gate city, where
+were located his foundries, arsenals, and workshops,
+deemed secure on account of their distance from our
+base and the seeming impregnable obstacles intervening.
+Nothing is impossible to an army like this, determined
+to vindicate a government wherever our flag has once
+floated, and resolved to maintain them at any and all
+cost.</p>
+
+<p>“In our campaign many, yea very many of our noble
+and gallant comrades have preceded us to our common
+destination, the grave; but they have left the memory
+of deeds on which a Nation can build a proud history.
+McPherson, Harker, McCook, and others dear to us all,
+are now the binding links in our minds that should attach
+more closely together the living, who have to complete
+the task which still lies before us in the dim
+future.</p>
+
+<p>“I ask all to continue as they have so well begun, the
+cultivation of the soldierly virtues that have ennobled
+our own and other countries,&mdash;courage, patience, obedience
+to the laws and constituted authorities of our
+Government, fidelity to our trusts, and good feeling
+among each other; each trying to excel the other in the
+practice of those high qualities, and it will then require
+no prophet to foretell that our country will, in time,
+emerge from this war purified by the fires of war and
+worthy its great founder, Washington.</p>

+
+<p>Tuesday, the 8th instant, the Twenty-ninth was very
+busy holding election. Detachments from other organizations
+were permitted to vote at the Twenty-ninth headquarters.
+The Twenty-ninth regiment cast three hundred
+and eighty-four votes. Of these Lincoln received
+three hundred and fifty and McClellan thirty-four.
+During the day the regiment was wide awake and
+enthusiastic, and gave every soldier a chance to vote.
+At 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> on the following day, while the regiment
+was in tents eating breakfast, the rebels opened a lively
+fire with artillery, at short range. The enemy approached
+our picket, which was posted west of camp, covering the
+Sandtown road, who were surprised and fell back without
+firing a shot; hence the first intimation that we had that
+the enemy was near was the report of their artillery and
+the bursting of shells in our midst. The Twenty-ninth
+fell in and took position behind the fortification which
+the regiment had constructed. In the meantime a line
+of skirmishers was sent out and soon the enemy were
+driven back. A portion of the brigade was sent out on
+the Sandtown road, marched a few miles, but the Confederates
+had flown, and late in the afternoon the scouting
+party returned to camp.</p>
+
+<p>November 10th. Remained in camp occupied in the
+usual camp and picket duties, and the inspection of
+ammunition, arms, and accoutrements, and all was quiet,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_128">[128]</span>
+and at 8 o’clock in the evening the city of Atlanta took
+fire and was nearly annihilated. Saturday, the 12th, in
+camp, and all is quiet. Sunday, November 13th, the
+Twenty-ninth was detailed to tear up and destroy the
+railroad, and 7:30 marched out on the railroad leading
+to Chattanooga, and was engaged until 10 at night in
+burning the ties and bending the rails. At night the
+regiment returned to its old camp at Atlanta. 14th instant,
+in camp; all quiet. A man in company I was
+injured by falling from a building. 15th instant,
+marched at 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> on the road leading to Stone
+mountain in a southeast direction from Atlanta, and
+at 6 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> halted and went into camp (marched fifteen
+miles). 16th instant, marched at 7:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and at
+5:15 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> halted and camped for the night (marched
+twelve miles). 17th instant, marched at 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>,
+and after marching twelve miles halted for dinner,
+and at 2 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> fell in and marched until 5 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when
+the regiment halted and went into camp. 18th instant,
+moved at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>; marched ten miles, and at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span>
+halted for dinner; fell in at 1 o’clock and at 6 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>
+halted and camped for the night (marched twenty miles
+during the day). 19th instant, marched at 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span></p>
+
+<p>Twentieth instant, moved fourteen miles and camped
+for the night near Edenton. 21st, marched through
+Edenton in the direction of Milledgeville, a distance of
+sixteen miles, and went into camp. 22d, marched at
+5:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, halted at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> one hour for dinner, and at
+1:15 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> fell in and marched until 8 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>,
+passed through Milledgeville and crossed the Oconee
+river and camped for the night. 23d, Twenty-ninth regiment
+detailed for picket; fell in and moved east about
+three-fourths of a mile, passing through the woods and
+advancing into an open country; during its stay on<span class="pagenum" id="Page_129">[129]</span>
+picket duty some of the boys went out on a foraging expedition,
+and it is not necessary to state that they were
+successful, and that honey, sweet potatoes, and some
+fine chickens (which the quartermaster had left), made a
+very pleasant repast. 24th, received orders to join the
+brigade; marched at 7 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and halted at 1:30
+for dinner; fell in at 2:15 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, halted at 7:30, camped
+for the night; marched fifteen miles. 25th, moved at 7
+<span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, passing through a low country covered with heavy
+timber and thick undergrowth; the Twenty-ninth was
+train guard; halted at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span>, at Buffalo creek, for dinner;
+found the bridge destroyed; parked the train, and late in
+the afternoon the bridge was repaired and the regiment
+with the train crossed, passed through Buffalo swamp
+and camped for the night; marched twelve miles. 26th,
+the regiment was ordered up at 3:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, remained on
+arms until 7:30, when it marched with the brigade; halted
+at 1:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> at Sandersville for dinner, and in the afternoon
+marched to the Georgia Central railroad, tore up
+about two miles of track, and at 8:30 went into camp;
+drew rations of honey for supper. 27th, marched at 5
+<span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, reached the railroad at 8:50, tore up the track,
+and at 2:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> marched to Davisboro, which it
+reached at 9 o’clock, and camped here; marched nine
+miles. 28th, in the forenoon marched back to the railroad,
+and tore up track until 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, then
+marched back to Davisboro, and camped for the night;
+nothing special transpired during the night except the
+burning of a house, which accidentally (?) took fire;
+search was made in the regiments of the brigade by the
+staff officers to find out if possible the cause of the fire,
+but “not guilty” was the response. 29th, marched at
+6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, halted at 11:30, at Bartlows station, for dinner,
+and in the afternoon marched through Bostwick and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_130">[130]</span>
+went into camp; marched 14 miles. 30th, marched at 6
+<span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, halted at Daniel Blake’s plantation for dinner, and
+in the afternoon marched four miles and camped for the
+night.</p>
+
+<p>December 1, 1864, marched at 7:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, the Second
+division in the advance, passed through a low, wet country,
+almost impassable to the ordnance train; halted at
+8:15 and camped for the night; marched fifteen miles.
+2d, marched at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, First brigade in advance; moved
+about ten miles; halted at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> for dinner, at a creek
+where the rebels had destroyed the bridge, and while
+preparing dinner, the Twenty-ninth regiment was ordered
+to fall in, which it did without delay, and marched to
+the creek; the enemy was found on its opposite bank in
+considerable force; the regiment was ordered to drive
+the enemy out of the timber, force them back and hold
+them while the bridge was being rebuilt; we loaded our
+guns, and crossing the bank four companies under Captain
+Schoonover advanced to the right up the road,
+through the timber (which was a thick undergrowth)
+driving the enemy out of the woods and into an open
+field about one mile from the bridge; barricaded the
+road with rails, and the other six companies under Major
+Wright, advanced direct to the point through the woods
+about one mile, the enemy falling back; the regiment
+held its position until the bridge was rebuilt, and a
+crossing effected, and late in the <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the brigade
+moved through the swamp and camped for the night.
+3d, remained in camp until after dinner, then moved
+forward the remainder of the day and all night; had no
+supper; halted at 7 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> for breakfast, near Millen; the
+old stockade was empty, the prisoners having been removed
+the day before; after breakfast on the 4th, we
+moved forward, marched all day, and at 8 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> halted<span class="pagenum" id="Page_131">[131]</span>
+and camped for the night. 5th, marched at 7 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>,
+halted at 2:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> for dinner; moved three miles in the
+afternoon, and at 6 went into camp for the night. 6th,
+marched ten miles and camped for the night. 7th,
+marched at 7 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, halted at 12:30 for dinner; rained
+all the forenoon, had no dinner; marched in the afternoon,
+halted at 7 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> and camped for the night, near
+Springfield; marched twelve miles. 8th, marched at
+6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> and camped at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> near Eden.</p>
+
+<p>9th instant at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, moved six miles and halted
+thirty minutes for dinner at Wallhower Swamp, where
+the Confederates were found in force. The fallen timber
+which obstructed the road was soon removed by the
+Pioneer corps, and in the meantime with the Third
+brigade, of Geary’s division in the advance, had a sharp
+skirmish with the rebels. While the road was being
+cleared the Second division were resting on their arms,
+except the Third brigade, which had advanced nearly
+through the swamp. While engaged with the enemy
+the train was ordered forward, and the Twenty-ninth
+regiment advanced on double-quick in support of the
+brigade thus engaged. Passing the train it reached the
+Third brigade, which had advanced about one mile and
+a half. The Twenty-ninth immediately formed line on
+the left of the road in rear of the Third brigade, and
+skirmished until dark, when the firing ceased. During
+the night the rebels fell back. 10th instant, moved at
+7 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> and marched through the swamp where we
+found small earth works and two small field pieces
+masked to cover the road through the swamp, but when
+the boys in blue were discovered the rebels moved to
+the rear. The regiment marched thirteen miles with
+some skirmishing and artillery firing during the day and
+night.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_132">[132]</span></p>
+
+<p>When about four miles from the city of Savannah,
+Georgia, rebel artillery was found to be in the road behind
+earthworks to impede our progress. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment, with the brigade, filed to the left of the
+road and took position in the timber, where it bivouacked
+for the night. After leaving Atlanta, Georgia, on the
+15th day of November, 1864, the army was designated
+as the Army of Georgia, the Twelfth and Fourteenth
+corps, known as the left wing, commanded by Major-general
+H. W. Slocum, and the Fifteenth and Seventeenth
+corps, known as the right wing, commanded by
+Major-general O. O. Howard, Major-general William T.
+Sherman in command of the Army of Georgia.</p>
+
+<p>On this march the army cut loose from the base of
+supplies at Atlanta, and lived mostly from forage on the
+country. On reaching the enemy within four miles of
+Savannah, on the 10th day of December, the division
+had accumulated several hundred head of cattle. Sunday,
+December 11th, moved in the morning about one
+mile, and took a position near the rebel lines, the
+Twenty-ninth regiment, on the extreme left of the line,
+with its left reaching the Savannah river. While in this
+position the rebels opened fire with artillery from a fort
+immediately in our front, and the infantry from their
+strong line of works, kept up a continual fire. The
+brigade remained in line until late in the afternoon, sustaining
+slight loss, when it fell back through the open
+field into the woods and laid on arms all night. On the
+12th inst., at 2:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, fell in and advanced to the
+front about one-half mile to the old levee, and thence
+filed to the left. Marched about three-fourths of a mile,
+halted, and prepared to charge the rebels. To do so
+the right had to pass a dike or canal with four or five
+feet of water, and assault the fort and breastworks in<span class="pagenum" id="Page_133">[133]</span>
+open field. The charge was abandoned, and at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>
+the regiment returned to camp, where we remained
+skirmishing and artillery firing during the day. On the
+13th inst. the Twenty-ninth was on skirmish line all day.
+During the night we advanced our line through a woods,
+which was heavy pine, mixed with live oak, within two
+hundred yards of the rebel line, where they were strongly
+intrenched. Between the contending armies was no
+timber except scattering undergrowth, and a canal near
+the rebel line of works. In this advanced position the
+regiment dug rifle-pits, which were strongly barricaded
+with timber.</p>
+
+<p>In the lines of rifle-pits our pickets were stationed and
+performed the duty of skirmishers, being relieved
+every twenty-four hours, which was done under cover of
+night. In the meantime the regiment fell back about
+one-fourth of a mile, and constructed works of heavy
+timber, in the rear of which the men put up their shelter
+tents. Here they could partake of the scanty rations (but
+dare not sleep), as the artillery firing and skirmishing
+was kept up continually day and night on the 14th, 15th,
+16th and 17th; and Sunday, the 18th, skirmishing and
+artillery duelling all along the line. On the 19th skirmishing
+all day. In the evening a detail was made from our
+brigade under the command of Major Myron T. Wright,
+to construct new lines of works. While engaged in the
+work at 7 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, he received a severe wound in the
+left foot (at which time Captain Jonas Schoonover took
+command), the ball entering the foot a little below the
+instep, and lodged into the center of the heel about one
+inch from the bottom of the foot. On the 20th, firing
+all along the line. This ceased at 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> The
+Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade and division,
+has been in position on the left of the road leading<span class="pagenum" id="Page_134">[134]</span>
+from Springfield to the city of Savannah, with its main
+line in the timber, its right resting on the river. During
+the ten days the command remained in front of Savannah
+it took charge of large rice mills on the river, and
+supplied the men with rice. The quartermaster used
+large quantities for the train teams. At one time rice
+sold for fifty cents per quart (before the capture of Fort
+McAllister, on December 13th, 1864). The rebels in
+our front were behind a heavy line of works, which was
+surmounted with large timber called head logs, with port
+holes in their front. At their rear was a large body of
+timber, their right rested on the river, where they had
+constructed two forts, one near the river, and the other
+a short distance west along their line, where they had a
+strong position behind sand bags. But our lines were
+advancing nearer every day, and during the night of
+December 20th they evacuated their works, and fell back
+to Savannah, crossing the river into South Carolina.
+At 4 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on the 21st day of December, the Twenty-ninth
+fell in, and moved in the advance of the brigade
+to the front. Passing the rifle-pits, it filed to the left,
+across the canal near the rebel fort, finding their works
+and entire line evacuated. We moved on in the direction
+of Savannah. On reaching the city, the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments
+moved down the river to Fort Jackson, which had been
+evacuated and set on fire. The regiments reached the
+fort at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and at 12 o’clock at night the rebels blew
+up their gunboat Beauregard. We remained at the fort
+until December 24th, with the usual routine of camp and
+garrison duty. In the meantime the Twenty-ninth took
+an inventory of the ordnance and ordnance stores captured
+by the Twenty-ninth regiment and the Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania in Fort Jackson and other forts<span class="pagenum" id="Page_135">[135]</span>
+along the Savannah river. On the 24th instant the regiment
+was ordered to move at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> The Twenty-ninth,
+in rear of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania volunteers,
+marched to the city of Savannah, passing through
+it, and encamping on the west side.</p>
+
+<p>On the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th, fixing company
+quarters, and attending to the usual routine
+of camp and guard duty. Friday, the 30th, the
+army reviewed. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved
+from camp at 8:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and marched to Liberty street
+in the city of Savannah, where it joined the brigade
+formed on the left, in prolongation with the Sixty-sixth
+regiment of Ohio volunteers. After review it returned
+to its old camp at 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> Saturday, the 31st,
+inspection and muster for pay at 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span></p>
+
+<p>January 1, 1865, monthly inspection at 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>
+2d, 3d, 4th and 5th, nothing occurred except the
+usual camp duty. 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th, in camp, and
+up to the 18th the Twenty-ninth was doing camp duty,
+and on the 18th received news of the fall of Fort Fisher.
+From the 19th to the 25th engaged in camp duty and

+“Captain W. T. Forbes, assistant adjutant general:<br />
+</p>
+
+<p>“In compliance with circular order No. 144, I have
+the honor to submit the following report of the operations
+of this brigade, from the capture of Atlanta, September
+2, 1864, to the occupation of Savannah, Georgia,
+December 21, 1864, etc., etc....
+December 2d, the march was resumed at daybreak and
+was uninterrupted until Buckhead creek was reached.
+The bridge over this place was partially destroyed, and a
+few of the enemy’s cavalry were on the opposite side of
+the swamp. Major Wright, commanding the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio volunteers, was ordered to cross the creek<span class="pagenum" id="Page_137">[137]</span>
+with his regiment and drive and keep away this force,
+which was accomplished without loss. The command
+camped for the night near Buckhead church....
+December 12th to December 20th inclusive, a substantial
+line of works was thrown up for the protection of
+the command from the artillery of the enemy, and in
+addition to this two forts, with thirteen embrasures in
+the aggregate, were constructed by the command. The
+working parties on Fort No. 2 were under the command
+of Captain Kreicler, One Hundred and Forty-seventh
+Pennsylvania volunteers, and those on Fort No. 3 under
+command of Captain E. B. Woodbury, Twenty-ninth
+Ohio volunteers. Both these officers and the men under
+their command are deserving of praise for the energy
+and perseverance manifested in the prosecution of the
+duty assigned them.</p>
+
+<p>“December 21st, the enemy having evacuated their
+position the night previous, their works were occupied at
+an early hour by the skirmishers of the division, and by
+sunrise the city of Savannah was entered and occupied,
+this brigade being in line in the advance into the city.
+Soon after reaching the city, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+and Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, under command
+of Colonel John Flynn, were, by order of the
+commanding-general of division, through Captain Veale,
+aide-de-camp, dispatched to occupy Fort Jackson and the
+smaller forts and batteries near it. The possession of
+the forts and other works was gained with but slight resistance.</p>
+
+<p>“Inventory of ordnance and ordnance stores captured
+by the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers and the Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania in Fort Jackson and other forts on
+the Savannah river: Forty-four thirty-two-pounders, two
+ten-inch Columbiads, twenty eight-inch Columbiads, two<span class="pagenum" id="Page_138">[138]</span>
+rifled thirty-two-pounders, twelve twenty-four-pounder
+howitzers, one eight-inch mortar, three three-inch rifled
+field-pieces, etc., etc. Of the ninety-one guns captured,
+fourteen only were found to have been spiked and shotted.
+The gun-carriages were broken and temporarily
+disabled, and all the implements were broken and
+destroyed.</p>
+
+<p>“To the regimental commanders I tender my thanks
+for the strict obedience to orders, and the enforcement
+of the regulation prescribed in regard to the conduct of
+the march, and especially are they due to Major M. T.
+Wright, Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was seriously
+wounded while supervising the working parties on the
+forts, for the promptitude exhibited by him in the execution
+of all orders, and his strict attention to the duties
+incumbent on him throughout the entire campaign.</p>

+
+<div class="blockquot">
+
+<p>“December 29th, a conference of the division and
+brigade commanders with the general commanding the
+corps, was held at 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> to-day, with the view to the
+adoption of a plan for storming the enemy’s works, as
+soon as the heavy guns should be in readiness to open
+fire. Fort No. 1 was finished this evening. The details
+from the First and Third brigades continued work on
+the other forts during the night, under a heavy artillery
+fire from the enemy. Several casualties occurred, among
+them Major Wright, a most valuable officer, commanding
+the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was severely
+wounded by a shell. Sloan’s battery of three-inch rifled<span class="pagenum" id="Page_139">[139]</span>
+guns had already taken position in a work thrown up to
+the right of Fort 3, and in the open field.</p>
+
+<p>“December 20th. The usual artillery firing and sharp
+shooting to-day. By this evening we had constructed
+and in readiness for use in the contemplated assault,
+two hundred large straw fascines, to fill up ditches in
+front of the enemy’s works; also a large number of fascines
+made of bamboo-cane. The latter were to be
+used for bridging the canal by laying them across baulks,
+which were furnished from the pontoon train for that
+purpose. The work on Forts 2 and 3 was well advanced
+to-day, and would probably be completed to-night.
+Three siege-guns (thirty-pounder Parrotts) were brought
+down this evening and mounted in Fort No. 2. I ascertained
+this morning that the enemy had completed a
+pontoon bridge from Savannah across to the South Carolina
+shore, and notified the general commanding corps
+of the discovery. This bridge was about two and a half
+miles from my left. The usual artillery firing was kept
+up by the enemy during the day and night. During the
+night I heard the movement of troops and wagons across
+the pontoon bridge before mentioned, and sent a report
+of the fact to the general commanding corps. Leaving
+one of my staff to watch the sounds in that direction, I
+notified my officer of the day and brigade commanders
+to keep a vigilant watch upon the enemy, as they were
+probably evacuating. The details on Forts 2 and 3 continued
+working through the night, the enemy shelling
+them heavily.</p>
+
+<p>“December 21st. After 3 o’clock this morning the
+firing ceased, and my pickets advancing to the enemy’s
+line, found them hastily retreating. Having possession
+of their line of works with all their cannon in front of
+my own and the other division of the corps, I immediately<span class="pagenum" id="Page_140">[140]</span>
+sent a staff officer to notify the general commanding,
+and at the same time pushed forward rapidly in the
+direction of Savannah, hoping to overtake and capture a
+part of the enemy’s force. My skirmishers deployed
+and swept over all the ground between the evacuated
+works and the Ogeechee canal, from the river to the
+Augusta road, while my main body of troops marched
+rapidly by the flank through McAlpin’s plantation to the
+Augusta road, and on into the city. Just outside of the
+city limits near the junction of the Louisville and Augusta
+roads, I met the mayor of Savannah and a delegation
+from the board of alderman, bearing a flag of truce.
+From them I received in the name of my commanding
+general the surrender of the city. This was at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>,
+and I sent immediately another staff officer to announce
+the surrender to the general commanding the
+corps. He had considerable difficulty in passing the
+line of another division of this corps on the Augusta
+road, but finally convinced them that he belonged to the
+Twentieth corps and not to the enemy. In the meantime
+my entire division entered the city of Savannah at
+early dawn, and before the sun first gilded the morning
+clouds, our National colors, side by side with those of
+my own division, were unfurled from the dome of the
+exchange, and over the United States custom house.
+The brigade which led on entering the city, was at once
+ordered to patrol it, reduce it to order and quiet, and
+prevent any pillaging or lawlessness on the part either of
+soldiers or citizens. My orders on the subject were very
+strict, and within a few hours this city, in which I had
+found a lawless mob of low whites and negroes pillaging
+and setting fire to property, was reduced to order. Many
+millions of dollars worth of cotton, ordnance and commissary
+stores, etc., which would have been otherwise<span class="pagenum" id="Page_141">[141]</span>
+destroyed, were saved to the United States Government,
+and the citizens once more enjoyed security under the
+protection of that flag which again waved over them, exactly
+four years since the passage by the State of South
+Carolina of the Secession Act.</p>
+
+<p>“Two regiments from Pardee’s brigade, the Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania and Twenty-ninth Ohio veteran
+volunteers, were sent down to Fort Jackson, and early
+in the morning had possession of it and all the intermediate
+and surrounding works. The iron-plated ram,
+Savannah, which lay in the river below the city, threw
+shells at these two regiments as they flung the stars and
+stripes to the breeze from the walls of Fort Jackson.
+All the other gun-boats of the enemy had been fired by
+them and burned to the water’s edge.</p>
+
+<p>“On the arrival of the major-general commanding the
+left wing, I was, by his order, placed in command of the
+city. Until nearly 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> continued firing was heard
+in the direction of Beaulieu, and supposing that a portion
+of the enemy might still be south of us, I kept one
+brigade under arms during the forenoon. Three rebel
+flags were captured by my command, which will be duly
+forwarded.</p>

+will sufficiently explain.</p>
+
+<p>The new flag for the Twenty-ninth regiment, contributed
+by the citizens of Summit and Ashtabula counties,
+was accompanied by the following letter from Colonels
+Buckley and Fitch. The receipt of the new flag is
+gracefully acknowledged by the letter of Mr. G. W. Holloway,
+appended thereto, which letter was accompanied
+by the old flag, which had been borne by this gallant regiment
+in so many bloody battles.</p>

+honor and pleasure of forwarding to the gallant old
+Twenty-ninth another national flag, the gift of its old
+friends in Ashtabula and Summit counties. This is the
+third national flag given the regiment from the same
+source. It is certainly a strong proof that its friends
+still believe it to be one of the bravest of the brave of
+the many noble regiments Ohio has given to fight this
+great battle. If the regiment had no other proof than
+its old and tattered flags, that alone would show that it<span class="pagenum" id="Page_150">[150]</span>
+had been in the thickest of the fight, ever ready to
+breast the fury of the battle storm; but its history tells
+us that it has borne an honorable part in nearly a score
+of the hardest fought battles of the war. Citizen soldiers,
+take this flag and bear it aloft wherever duty calls,
+and your friends will take your past record as a guarantee
+that it will never be dishonored by the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. Colonel, please remember
+us to the dear old Twenty-ninth, and accept for

+<p><span class="smcap">Gentlemen</span>:&mdash;In the name of the officers and men
+of the Twenty-ninth Ohio veteran volunteer infantry, I
+herewith acknowledge the receipt of the beautiful flag
+presented the regiment, and in return I present to you
+the old one, which it has been our proud honor to carry
+victoriously over many hard-fought battlefields. That
+dear “old flag” which has been our companion through
+years of fearful war and carnage, and which symbolizes
+our glorious nationality, tells its own story. We return
+it to you, but not so beautiful in form and color as when
+presented to us eighteen months ago. But whilst its
+external beauty has been defaced, yet the great life-giving
+principles of which it is the exponent, are all the
+more deeply enshrined in the hearts of its defenders, and
+Liberty receives through this standard another bright and
+shining star to her beautiful constellation. Take it, then,
+and place it among the archives of the nation, that it
+may be preserved as a sacred memorial, and handed<span class="pagenum" id="Page_151">[151]</span>
+down to latest posterity as a glorious legacy and standard
+that was borne, as by angel hands, in opposition to oppression
+and rebellion. Be assured that it is with a
+renewed national pride that we look upon this beautiful
+flag presented to the Twenty-ninth Ohio, by the patriotic
+and loyal citizens of Summit and Ashtabula counties.
+The past history of almost four years in war, speaks for
+our conduct as soldiers and patriots for the future. We
+promise never to desert this flag, nor will we permit
+traitors or rebels to wrest it from our hands. We will
+always be willing and ready to unfurl it in defense of the
+principles of our glorious, free Republic. Truly our
+country’s faith has learned a new interpretation of her
+standard. The white typifies the purity of purpose which
+belongs to her true ruler; the red points to the crimson
+tide in which life flows forth a willing offering; the blue
+reminds her of her home in heaven, to which all the good
+are gathered; the stars in her banner tell of light in
+darkness, and she shall learn to range them in a new and
+beautiful order, as the constellation of the cross. It is
+that flag which has solved most conclusively the long
+disputed problem of a free republican form of government.
+It was that flag which was so bravely and triumphantly
+carried through the ordeal of war by our Revolutionary
+sires, and encircled them with a halo of glory
+that shall be handed down untarnished to millions of
+unborn freemen. It was that flag which, under God, enabled
+our forefathers to gain our glorious independence,
+and here, in this beautiful land of lakes and rivers, rear
+a temple of liberty which stands first among the nations
+of the earth, the envy and admiration of all. It is the
+flag which we have learned to love and to defend, and
+which we cherish in our hearts as the guardian angel of
+our country.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_152">[152]</span></p>
+
+<p>May that same God who has given so many brave
+hearts to defend it, continue to preserve it, and may it
+give light and liberty to millions who are yet groaning
+under tyranny and oppression. But we would not pass
+by unnoticed the many noble brave men who offered
+themselves a willing sacrifice upon our country’s altar
+in defense of that national banner. The voices of our
+fallen comrades are borne to us in solemn silence by
+every breeze that fans our brow. The South is billowed
+with the graves where sleep the patriot martyrs of constitutional
+liberty, until the resurrection morn. We hold
+them dear to our hearts, for may it never be forgotten
+that their deeds of valor facilitated the consummation of
+the glorious results which have just been achieved.
+Though they be dead, they yet speak, and will continue
+to speak to the end of all time, and dear to each patriot
+heart will ever be the memory of those who died in
+defense of the Union.</p>

+<p>At Bladensburg we went into camp, and remained

+embarked on the cars of the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad
+and steamed away homeward, bound to Parkersburg
+by way of Grafton, West Virginia, thence by boat
+to Louisville, Kentucky; moved five miles into the
+country, where we remained until the 13th day of July,
+when we were mustered out. Repairing to Camp
+Taylor, near Cleveland, Ohio, we were paid off and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_153">[153]</span>
+formally discharged from the service on the 22d and
+23d days of July, 1865.</p>
+
+<p>We have now followed the regiment through nearly
+four years of the most arduous service which ever fell to
+the lot of any organization of this character, marching
+and fighting through most of the States in rebellion, its
+pathway marked by the graves of our comrades who fell.
+In the interim, hundreds of the brave 1540 who were
+upon its rolls, pass under the charge of the worse than
+fiends of hell, who presided at Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville,
+and other courts of death, by courtesy called
+rebel prisons, where, after being robbed of all they possessed,
+and even stripped of necessary clothing, they
+were subjected to a systematic course of starvation (and
+that, too, under the immediate supervision of that foul
+blot upon humanity, Jeff Davis) until their brave spirits
+went out to the God who gave them. In the army of
+the East, with the army of the West, with Sherman in
+the glorious march to the sea, and the brilliant campaign
+of the Carolinas&mdash;where there was danger and death&mdash;shone
+the “white star” of the Twenty-ninth. The
+skirmish line and the advance became so nearly the
+normal condition of the regiment that assignment to
+positions less dangerous elicited exclamations of surprise
+from the “boys.”</p>
+
+<p>At length the last ditch, so frequently referred to by
+the braggart rebels, was reached&mdash;chivalrous Jeff Davis
+in hoc and crinoline begged that mercy be shown to
+“woman and children.” The bubble secessia burst, and
+the command, now reduced to a mere handful, turn sadly
+northward, its columns “gaping from the havoc of shot
+and shell, and the disease of the camp, and prison pen,
+its colors ragged and torn, but proud and defiant as ever&mdash;one
+grand ovation to the living, a sad wailing requiem<span class="pagenum" id="Page_154">[154]</span>

+Forest city, as each departed for their homes to assume
+the peaceful avocations of four years before.</p>
+

+
+<p>The following review of the battles, sieges, marches,
+and campaigns in which the Twenty-ninth regiment was
+engaged, is from the pen of Colonel Jonas Schoonover.
+It gives in brief the important work of the regiment
+during its nearly four years’ service, and should the
+“gentle reader” find the descriptive portion of the history
+too voluminous, she has but to turn to this review
+to find consolation.</p>
+
+<p>Beginning with the service in the winter of 1861–2,
+along the waters of the Potomac and its tributaries, and
+in the mountain regions of Hampshire county, the
+Romney expedition in West Virginia, the advance to
+Winchester via Little mountain and Martinsburg, thence
+into the Shenandoah valley. The Strasburg march,
+which ended in the battle of Winchester, where the
+Federal army, under General Shields, and the rebels,
+commanded by General T. J. Jackson, at Kernstown,
+engaged in a sanguinary battle on March 23d, 1862, in
+which the Union army gained a victory. The Twenty-ninth
+Ohio done its full share, suffering slight loss in
+killed and wounded. The march up the valley to Madisonburg;
+the long march to Fredericksburg, leaving the
+Shenandoah valley at New Market on the 12th day of
+May, 1862, and reaching Fredericksburg May 22, 1862,
+a day or two later returning to Luray via Warrenton and
+Front Royal, up the Luray valley to Port Republic,
+where, on the 9th day of June, it engaged in battle with
+heavy loss in killed and wounded. One hundred and

+at short range in the open field against three times<span class="pagenum" id="Page_156">[156]</span>
+its number over four hours. During the time the
+struggle was desperate on both sides. The battle of
+Cedar mountain, seven miles from Culpepper Courthouse,
+on August 9th, the Union army under Banks, the
+rebels under Longstreet, the Twenty-ninth was engaged
+in the open field without cover, and sustained considerable
+loss. Then followed the retrograde move to Culpepper;
+the campaign of General Pope, including the
+second battle of Bull Run; and the march to Frederick
+City; the winter and spring campaign of 1862 and 1863,
+under Major-general Joseph Hooker, at Dumfries, was
+memorable for its intense suffering; then came the march
+to Chancellorsville, and the battle there, which began
+May 1st, and ended on the 3d, in which the Twenty-ninth
+suffered heavy loss and was the last to leave the
+field. May 5th we crossed the Rappahannock on our
+way to Gettysburg via Aqua creek, Dumfries, Fairfax
+Court House, Leesburg, Edward’s Ferry, Harper’s Ferry,
+Frederick, and Littletown, where we fought one of the
+most determined battles of the war, commencing on the
+1st and ending on the 4th day of July, 1863.</p>
+
+<p>We returned to Virginia; moved to New York to quell
+riots; returned again; advanced to the Rapidan; reported
+to the Department of the Cumberland, via the Baltimore
+&amp; Ohio railroad, crossing the Ohio river at Bellaire.
+On September 30th, we passed through Columbus,
+Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky,
+and halted at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. In October
+we passed down to Stevenson and Bridgeport, Alabama,
+and up the Tennessee river to Wauhatchie valley.</p>
+
+<p>On November 24th and 25th, we were engaged in the
+battle of Lookout mountain; Missionary Ridge on
+November 24th and 25th, and Taylor’s Ridge and Ringgold,
+Georgia, on November 26th and 27th, 1863.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_157">[157]</span></p>
+
+<p>In December of the same year we re-enlisted, and
+during the winter we prepared for a vigorous and active
+campaign in the early spring of 1864. On May 3d, we
+left Bridgeport, Alabama, on the Georgia campaign,
+passing around Lookout Mountain, Rossville, and Crawfish
+springs. On May 8th, the Twenty-ninth regiment
+took an active part in the battle of Dug Gap, Georgia,
+where it distinguished itself for bravery unparalleled
+in modern history; every fourth man was killed
+or wounded. We moved on to Resaca, and in the
+fight of the 14th our loss was light. We moved
+on to Calhoun, Adairsville, Kingston, and Cassville on
+May 21st. In the battle of Pumpkin Vine Creek (or
+Dallas) from May 25th to the 28th, we met with some
+loss. In the battle of Pine Knob on June 15th, the
+Twenty-ninth suffered severe loss. Many of its brave
+heroes, whose valor will ever be held in memory by every
+survivor of the Twenty-ninth regiment, were killed.
+The battles of Lost and Kenesaw Mountain were on
+June 20th and 27th, and we advanced to the Chattahoochie
+river, via Marietta, Georgia, and then to the battle
+of Peach Tree Creek.</p>
+
+<p>The Georgia campaign, from May 8th until the evacuation
+of Atlanta on September 2, 1864, a period of four
+months, was one continuous battle. The marching
+through Georgia was a glorious achievement, and will
+ever be recorded as one of the most brilliant feats in this
+or any other war. In Sherman’s grand march to the
+sea and the siege and capture of Savannah, Georgia, the
+Twenty-ninth did its full share. It was engaged
+from December 10th to the 21st, when it entered the
+city of Savannah. On January 27, 1865, we moved on
+the campaign through the Carolinas, and were engaged
+in the following battles, and skirmishes of this campaign;<span class="pagenum" id="Page_158">[158]</span>
+Averysboro, North Carolina, on March 16th; Bentonville,
+North Carolina, on March 19, 1865, and marching to
+Goldsboro on March 24th. After Johnston’s army at
+Raleigh, North Carolina, and the final march through
+Virginia to Washington in May, 1865, we took part in
+the grand review, thence to Louisville, Kentucky, on to
+Camp Taylor at Cleveland, Ohio, and home. The regiment
+was in the service nearly four years, and it is but
+justice to state that during its entire term it was <em>never
+driven from its position by direct assault</em>.</p>

+COMRADES AND FRIENDS:
+
+On the twentieth anniversary of the organization of the Twenty-ninth
+regiment Ohio Veteran volunteer infantry, Comrade J. H. SeCheverell
+was instructed to prepare a history of the same, and the undersigned
+were appointed a committee to supervise its publication. Comrade
+SeCheverell, after months of perplexing labor, completed the manuscript
+which was examined by us in Cleveland, July 19, 1882. It was then
+decided to issue fifty proof copies of the work to be put into the
+hands of members of the regiment for such additions or corrections as
+should be found necessary. This was done, and after the return of the
+proofs and the incorporation of whatever corrections they contained,
+Comrade SeCheverell visited Akron, and spent several days with Colonel
+Schoonover, to whom was intrusted the corrections for that vicinity,
+and it is with no small degree of satisfaction that we now present
+the work to the comrades and friends of the regiment with our hearty
+endorsement, believing it _as complete and perfect as it is possible to
+make it_.

+
+AUTHOR’S PREFACE.
+
+
+In the following pages no attempt at literary gush is made, the design
+being simply to preserve from oblivion the record of the valiant deeds
+of this, the bravest of the brave regiments from the Buckeye State,
+that in the dim, distant future, when each comrade shall have answered
+to his last earthly roll-call and gone to the “grand review” with the
+many whose bones now repose in that far away country of the orange and
+the magnolia, those left behind may not forget the sacrifices made,
+and the untold dangers endured for that flag, the beautiful, starry
+emblem of a now united people, whose supremacy preserved for them the
+blessings of this great country, the best beneath the ethereal vault of
+heaven.
+
+The data from which the journal portion of the volume is composed was
+obtained from members of the regiment, who certify to its correctness.
+Colonel Jonas Schoonover furnished, from Atlanta to Washington.
+
+The reader will mark the entire absence of personal laudation so common
+in works of this class, and the crowding of a few favored ones to the
+front to the exclusion of the hundreds of equally brave and meritorious
+men in perhaps lowly positions. That the fortunes of war brought many
+forward with flattering prominence is most true, and that thousands who
+wore the simple blouse of blue and carried the musket were possessed of
+merit as great is also true. To have been a member of the Twenty-ninth
+Regiment Ohio Veteran Volunteers is glory enough for a lifetime. If you
+did your duty, it is well; if you failed, printers’ ink will not make a
+hero of you. Then let each be content with the happy assurance that he
+did what he could for the flag.
+
+The writer would acknowledge in an especial manner his obligations to
+L. D. Drum, adjutant-general of the United States army, for the very
+complete casualty list at the close of the volume; also, to Samuel B.
+Smith, adjutant-general of Ohio, Hon. E. B. Taylor, Colonel Edward
+Hayes, Jonas Schoonover, Captain R. H. Baldwin, George W. Holloway;
+the members of the very efficient revisory committee, Captains D.
+W. Thomas, T. W. Nash, Lieutenant T. E. Hoyt, Sergeant E. F. Mason,
+and C. H. Coon; the Ashtabula Sentinel, Jefferson Gazette, and the
+Akron Daily News, for numerous courtesies extended to him, during the
+preparation of this work; and to each comrade and friend who has aided
+him in his labors, to name all of whom would require many pages. He has
+conscientiously endeavored to make the volume free from errors. If he
+has succeeded it will be the first of its kind. However, such as it is,
+it is presented to the regiment and its friends with the belief that it
+contains much of value.
+
+  JEFFERSON, OHIO, February 1, 1883.
+
+
+
+
+INTRODUCTION.
+
+
+The author of this volume has honored me with an invitation to write an
+“Introduction.” A book without a preface would be an anomaly: in other
+words, out of harmony with established usage; not strictly important,
+but answering much the same purpose as the “whereas” preceding the
+resolutions of the convention.
+
+I have not been permitted to read the author’s manuscript, yet I do not
+hesitate to assure the reader that as he peruses the pages of the book
+he will find much to entertain and profit. To the veteran who enlisted
+and fought in the historic “Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran volunteer
+infantry” it will be read with especial interest. The eye will moisten,
+and the heart swell with mingled emotions as he is reminded again of
+the varying scenes of the camp, the march, and the battle. Others, too
+young to remember anything of the war, but who have heard the stories
+of the conflict from their fathers, will read this historic sketch of
+the old regiment with the greatest avidity.
+
+We well remember the author as “Hamp,” the drummer boy of Company B,
+his boyish look, with his neatly-fitting suit of blue, and the tenor
+drum suspended from his neck, while with nimble fingers he plied the
+ebony sticks in beating the tattoo, reveille, or the “long roll.”
+
+He has done a real and invaluable service to his comrades in gathering
+up and condensing in neat and durable form so many interesting facts
+relating to the work of a noble regiment. So much, at least, is saved
+from oblivion.
+
+In writing the history of any war only a mere outline can be thought
+of. Anything like a full and detailed account of what happened is out
+of the question. Neither time nor space would permit.
+
+The multiplied thousands who carried their muskets and knapsacks
+on foot all over “Dixie,” and who really did the hard work of the
+conflict, must be massed in history even as in war they were massed
+against the foe. Their individual deeds of daring and suffering were
+not a whit behind those of the great Wellingtons, Washingtons, and
+Grants. The latter were in positions to glide easily into history,
+and have their heroic deeds emblazoned and read in the books of every
+nation. The former may have loved their country as well and fought as
+bravely for her honor, and yet die in obscurity, “to fortune and to
+fame unknown.”
+
+Dr. SeCheverell has doubtless done his best under the circumstances
+to do justice to the name of every member of the old Twenty-ninth. It
+was known as the Giddings’ regiment, in honor of the Hon. Joshua R.
+Giddings, for twenty consecutive years a member of the lower house of
+Congress.
+
+Perhaps no man during his time did more than Mr. Giddings to create
+public opinion in favor of the freedom of the slave. The regiment was
+raised almost entirely within the bounds of his old district, and it
+was fitting that it should bear his name. But I remember that when
+recruiting it a frequent objection to enlistment was that should any
+member of the regiment be so unfortunate as to be taken prisoner by
+the “Rebs,” he would be forthwith shot, hung, or burnt at the stake,
+particularly on Giddings’ account, and that the name would be so
+odious in the South, and would so advertise the regiment that every
+member would be especially hunted down and exterminated.
+
+I think “Hamp” has failed utterly to ascertain that any prisoner from
+the Twenty-ninth was thus punished, although many of the boys were
+often in rebel hands.
+
+I have ever considered myself fortunate and honored in having been
+associated with such a regiment.
+
+I was duly appointed and commissioned as the first chaplain, holding
+the position one year, resigning at the expiration of that time, and
+receiving an honorable discharge from the service.
+
+Of the officers of the regiment much might be said. Nobody who ever
+knew Colonel Buckley will ever forget him. A brave man, a great admirer
+of order and discipline, faultlessly neat and tidy, a confirmed
+dyspeptic; yet the most ticklish and fun provoking humor often cropped
+out in his conversation and intercourse with men. One morning, away
+down between Bull Run and Fredericksburg, when the tired and jaded men
+were in line for the day’s march, the Colonel was in his saddle with
+his toes daintily touching the stirrups, his pale, clean shaven face
+shaded by the visor of his blue cap, from beneath which his practiced
+eye swept the whole regiment at a glance, while his well-polished
+sword, firmly gripped, stood perpendicular, resting against the
+shoulder; with a stentorian voice he published the following order:
+“Men of the Twenty-ninth, let there be no straggling on the march
+to-day. But if any of you do straggle take Twenty-ninth off from your
+caps and put on One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania.”
+
+The joke on the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania was fully
+appreciated and immensely enjoyed (a regiment noted for straggling).
+With roars of laughter the boys shouldered their muskets and knapsacks
+for another hard day’s march through the pine barrens.
+
+Lieutenant-colonel Clark is remembered as a staunch advocate of
+temperance, whose interests were ever for the men.
+
+Major Clemmer, as a genial, bluff soldier, whose songs often enlivened
+the dreariness of the camp or bivouac; and Quartermaster Gibbs, as a
+man of prompt execution, who expected equal promptness from others.
+Many anecdotes and incidents of them could be narrated by the page, but
+I remember that the introduction to the volume is not the place for
+sketches of this kind; and I fear that I have already introduced much
+that does not strictly belong to this part of the book. I beg pardon
+for any seeming trespass in this direction.
+
+This introduction, written in the midst of other pressing duties, with
+frequent interruptions, now most affectionately inscribes this volume
+to every member of the Twenty-ninth regiment of Ohio Veteran volunteer
+infantry; to their wives and their children.
+
+I am happy to enjoy this privilege of saying a few words in Dr.
+SeCheverell’s book to my old comrades. My prayer is that God will bless
+every surviving member of the regiment, with their families, also the
+widows and orphans of deceased members, and that when the battle of
+life is over, we may wear the victor’s crown in heaven.

+
+CHAPTER I.
+
+The South Preparing for War--The Fall of Sumter--The Grand Rally to the
+Support of the Flag--Formation of the Regiment.
+
+
+President Lincoln, in his inaugural address of March 4, 1861, said:
+“I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the
+institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe that I
+have no lawful right, and I have no inclination to do so.” The South
+had apparently decided otherwise, and continued the preparations for
+secession, begun under the administration of, and so ably seconded by
+that old imbecile, James Buchanan.
+
+The outlook became so fraught with danger to the Union, that on April
+7th a naval expedition sailed from New York to the relief of Fort
+Sumter. Its arrival off Charleston harbor was followed by a furious
+bombardment of the fort by the rebel batteries of General Beauregard.
+The capitulation on April 13th, of the little handful of gallant men
+who so bravely defended their country’s flag, was followed by an
+outburst of patriotic indignation perhaps never before witnessed in
+the history of the world. In an incredibly short space of time the
+President’s call for seventy-five thousand men was filled by citizens
+eagerly marching to the defense of the National capital.
+
+The rebels meanwhile were busily engaged in appropriating or destroying
+the available arms and munitions of war belonging to the Government.
+At Bull Run, a few miles from Washington, General Beauregard massed
+his rebel horde, and here, on July 21st, General McDowell gratified
+the insane “On to Richmond” cry, by giving them battle. The result
+was the complete overthrow of the Union army, which retreated in the
+wildest disorder to Washington. This event cast a deep gloom over the
+entire North (barring the copperhead element). More than twice the time
+allowed by the knowing(?) ones to crush the Rebellion (sixty days)
+had elapsed, and yet it was growing stronger every day. The North was
+not yet awake to the magnitude of the work it had undertaken. The
+first patriotic outburst was on the wane; the sympathy of England and
+the encouragement given to the rebels by the “copperheads” in the
+North, gave a prestige to the Southern cause which, to many, bespoke
+the final success of treason. In this dark hour of our country’s
+peril, that brave old hero, Joshua R. Giddings, with B. F. Wade,
+E. B. Woodbury, and other well known associates, feeling that they
+had been disappointed in the acts of another regiment, made up in
+part of soldiers recruited in this district, obtained permission to
+organize regiment number Twenty-nine, which should be made up as far
+as possible, of those in political sympathy with the projectors. The
+report of the soldiers already returned from the three months’ service,
+and who were generally ready to go again, seemed to indicate who they
+wished for commanders. Major Lewis P. Buckley, of Akron, educated at
+West Point, was generally desired as colonel, and Thomas Clark, of
+Cleveland, formerly a cadet at Norwich university, Vermont, was for
+the same reason selected to commence the work. He was accordingly
+appointed major, on the 13th of August. Two days later he was mustered
+into service, and ordered to report at once to Jefferson, select a
+suitable location, and organize a camp. On the 17th he arrived at
+Jefferson, and a couple of days were spent in examining fields offered;
+at last the grounds of the County Agricultural Society were selected. A
+part of company A reported on the 19th, and company B in the afternoon
+of the same day. The camp equipage arrived on the 20th. On the 27th
+company C reported, and on September 10th, company D, and with this
+company came Colonel Buckley, who had just completed his service in the
+Nineteenth regiment.
+
+Following are the companies, in the order they entered the service,
+with the commanders and the localities from which they were recruited:
+Company A, Captain William F. Fitch, was recruited in Jefferson and
+vicinity, and Hartsgrove. Company B, Captain Wilbur F. Stevens, was
+recruited in Pierpont and vicinity, and Harpersfield. Company C,
+Captain Edward Hayes, was recruited in Andover and vicinity, Gustavus,
+Ohio, and Espyville, Pennsylvania. Company D, Captain Pulaski C. Hard,
+was recruited in Akron, Summit county. Company E, Captain Horatio Luce,
+was recruited in Conneaut and surrounding townships. Company F, Captain
+John F. Morse, was recruited in Painesville and Mentor, Lake county,
+and Montville, Geauga county. Company G, Captain John S. Clemmer, was
+recruited in Akron and vicinity. (Second Lieutenant W. P. Williamson,
+of this company, who was shot dead at the battle of Winchester,
+Virginia, March 23, 1862, was the first man in the regiment to die by
+rebel hands.) Company H, Captain Jonas Schoonover, was recruited in
+Akron and vicinity. Company I, Captain Russell B. Smith, was recruited
+in Medina county, and by transfers, and company K, Captain Alden P.
+Steele, was recruited from the various townships in Ashtabula county.
+
+The adverse causes before referred to, materially retarded the
+enlistment of the regiment, and it was not until about December 1st
+that the different company organizations were completed and the
+following staff officers elected:
+
+Colonel Lewis P. Buckley, Akron, Summit county.
+
+Lieutenant-colonel Thomas Clark, Cleveland, Cuyahoga county.
+
+Major John S. Clemmer, Mogadore, Summit county.
+
+Adjutant C. T. Chaffee, Jefferson, Ashtabula county.
+
+Quartermaster O. F. Gibbs, Harpersfield, Ashtabula county.
+
+Chaplain R. H. Hurlburt, Hartsgrove, Ashtabula county.
+
+Surgeon A. K. Fifield, M.D., Conneaut, Ashtabula county.
+
+Assistant Surgeon S. S. Burrows, M.D., Geneva, Ashtabula county.
+
+Commissary Henry Wright, Trumbull, Ashtabula county.
+
+Sergeant-major W. P. Williamson, Akron, Summit county.
+
+Quartermaster-sergeant M. D. Norris, Mesopotamia, Trumbull county.
+
+Hospital Steward E. P. Haynes, Atwater, Portage county.
+
+Fife-major Richard Noonan, Hudson, Summit county.
+
+Drum-major Gurley G. Crane, Cuyahoga Falls, Summit county.
+
+Leader regimental band Chauncey Brainard, Gustavus, Trumbull county.
+

+
+During the interim came the easy days of soldier life. Ah! those happy,
+golden days of camp life, when, with guard mount, battalion drill, and
+dress parade, the time passed swiftly away, and each heart beat high
+with patriotic desire for early marching orders; days looked back to
+from the dreary bivouac in the snow, tentless, and with clothing in
+tatters, scarce covering the form from the bitter, cutting winds of
+winter, or in the drizzling rain on the lonely outpost when sharp-eyed
+rebels only waited for the opportunity to send the leaden messenger
+of death whizzing in your direction. Sometimes the “boys” thought the
+rations were not sufficiently “gilt-edged,” quite too plain in fact,
+for the savers of the country’s honor, yet how often, while trying,
+almost in vain, with the half-pint of raw meal to keep the soul and
+the poor emaciated body together in those hell devised starvation
+traps--Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and Salisbury--did the brave
+fellows turn with longing hearts to the bounteous commissary at old
+Camp Giddings. Fears were oft expressed lest the war would close
+before the Twenty-ninth should be permitted to add its mite to the
+support of the flag. How needless they were the rolls show; more than
+one-third (five hundred and forty) of the one thousand five hundred and
+thirty-two members of the regiment, were either killed, wounded, or
+missing in action, and one hundred and fifty-seven died of disease. The
+colors, too, which waved so grandly in the sharp winter air, that long
+agone Christmas morning in 1861, are now in shreds, rent and torn by
+the leaden hail through which they were carried to glorious victories.
+
+This beautiful stand of colors was presented to the regiment on
+Wednesday, November 27th, by Hon. J. R. Giddings, on behalf of the
+donors, the ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties. Mr. Giddings
+spoke as follows: “Gentlemen, officers and soldiers. Before entering
+upon the particular duty assigned me on the present occasion, I may be
+permitted to congratulate you and the country, upon the completion of
+your regimental organization and the perfection of your preparation for
+the field. I desire you at all times to bear in mind the causes which
+led to its formation. The present rebellion has its origin far back in
+history. Its first overt acts were put forth in Congress by subjecting
+the people of the free States to gag rules, by striking down the right
+of petition, by arraigning and publicly censuring Representatives
+for the faithful discharge of duty, by annexing, unconstitutionally,
+slave territory, and extending and strengthening the encroachments of
+slavery. To these violent encroachments upon the constitutional rights
+of the free States, this Western Reserve has from the first, presented
+a very general resistance....
+
+“The ladies have prepared a splendid National and regimental stand of
+colors, and have imposed on me the pleasing duty of presenting them
+to the regiment. In all past ages civilized nations have gone forth
+to war under their own banner, on which was inscribed some device,
+figure, or emblem, peculiar to such nation. Thus each tribe among the
+Israelites had its particular banner. The early Christians fought under
+the cross, the Romans under the golden eagle, the Mohammedans under
+the crescent. The founders of our government selected for their colors
+a groundwork of blue, representing immutable justice and unlimited
+power, on which the stars, representing light, are twinkling in the
+vaulted heavens, while in mid ether the bird of Jove is floating, a
+fitting representation of the ease and power with which liberty and
+civilization are gliding over the earth; while the stars and stripes
+of red and white represent the vital principles and purity of our
+institutions.
+
+[Addressing Colonel Buckley]: “To you, sir, as commander, I present
+these beautiful standards, for the use and benefit of the regiment.
+On behalf of the fair donors I confide these National and regimental
+standards to the care of yourself, your gallant officers and men.
+Wherever you go let them be borne aloft and respected as the emblem
+of universal freedom to all who seek your protection. Preserve them
+unstained, except by the blood of your enemies. Bear in mind that you
+go forth to fight the battles of the human race for all coming time;
+and should the roar of cannon, the rattling of muskets, the clashing of
+sabres, the din and smoke of battle surround you, remember the cause in
+which you are engaged, and be assured that if you fall, we who are left
+will care for your widows and children. Your own heroic deeds shall be
+enshrined in our memories, recorded in our history, admired by coming
+generations, and approved by a holy and just God.”
+
+Colonel Buckley replied: “Respected Sir--I receive this stand of
+colors in behalf of the Twenty-ninth regiment. I return through you
+to the noble and patriotic ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties
+their grateful thanks; and whenever and wherever it is unfurled to the
+breeze, and we look upon its stars and stripes, may we then remember
+the generous donors and the vow we this day make. This flag, the flag
+of our country, which has been our pride and our boast, and which is
+respected by all civilized nations; this flag, thank God, shall yet
+wave triumphantly wherever it has been struck down by the ruthless arm
+of the traitors: and, companions, whenever we look upon this beautiful
+flag may it inspire us to redouble our energies to do our duty to our
+beloved country, and if God in his providence permits us to return to
+home and kindred, may this flag come back with us to bear witness that
+the Twenty-ninth regiment Ohio volunteers was in the thickest of the
+fight.
+
+“Sir, you have spoken in high commendation of my command. I can assure
+you I feel myself honored in having command of such a regiment. It
+will be my pride and ambition, with my fellow-officers to make it in
+all things pertaining to a well drilled and well disciplined regiment,
+one of the best in Ohio. And now, fellow-soldiers, in the presence of
+this assembly, and before high heaven, we swear upon the altar of our
+country to defend this flag so long as there shall be one true heart
+and strong arm to hold it to the breeze.”
+
+At last the “boys’” impatience to go anywhere but here, was gratified
+by an order to move to Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, the date
+December 25th; and right here it may not be amiss to give an extract
+from an editorial in the Ashtabula Sentinel, as showing what the people
+of Jefferson thought of the regiment:
+
+“They leave Jefferson with the respect and esteem of our citizens as an
+orderly and well behaved body of men. They have been over three months
+within our quiet village, during which time no disturbance has occurred
+and no depredations have been committed. They have proved themselves
+honorable men, the best evidence that they will be brave soldiers. When
+they are heard from in the fight we have no fears of a bad account.”

+CHAPTER II.
+
+The Departure from Camp Giddings--At the Front--Death of
+Lander--Advance up the Valley--Winchester.
+
+
+Christmas morning, 1861, dawned clear, with the earth bountifully
+covered with snow, and soon the busy preparations for this the first
+march were apparent everywhere. Knapsacks were packed, tents were
+struck, and the camp equipage snugly put into shape for transportation
+to Ashtabula, and at 10 o’clock the drums beat off. Then the regiment
+filed out of the enclosure, bidding a fond good-bye, many for the
+last time, to the old camp, up through the town, where everybody was
+waiting to wish the “boys” God speed. “Head of column left,” and
+the Twenty-ninth regiment was en-route for Ashtabula and the front,
+followed by the prayers of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and
+sweethearts, that its every effort might be crowned with success, and
+that, if heaven so willed, all might return safely to the arms of loved
+ones, “when the cruel war was over.” How beautiful they looked in
+their new uniform, and how gaily the bayonets glistened in the bright
+sunlight as each man kept step to the music.
+
+Arriving at Ashtabula, the regiment took cars, and was soon whirling
+rapidly towards Columbus, where it arrived the following day.
+
+On disembarking from the cars, a march of four miles on the National
+pike to the west brought the regiment to Camp Chase, where it was
+assigned to barracks, and the sweets (?) of soldier life began to
+be more perceptible. While lying here, the regiment attended the
+inauguration of David Tod as Governor of Ohio, and perfected itself in
+the school of the soldier. On the 26th day of January, 1862, the long
+roll again sounded; the Twenty-ninth regiment fell in, and marched to
+the depot, a distance of four miles. It took cars, and steamed away
+for Dixie, passing through Newark and Zanesville, and across the Ohio
+river at Bellair, thence via the Baltimore & Ohio railroad through the
+mountains of West Virginia to a point some six miles below Cumberland,
+Maryland, where it made its first camp in Dixie. There it was assigned
+to the left flank of the Third brigade (the Seventh Ohio volunteer
+infantry occupying the right), Colonel E. B. Tyler commanding, and
+here it may be well to state that from this time until the Seventh
+regiment was discharged the service (July 8, 1864), the two regiments
+occupied the same position, engaged in the same battles, and endured
+an equal amount of the hard service incident to the several campaigns.
+The Twenty-ninth remained in active service for nearly a year after
+the discharge of its well-bred friends of the Seventh and until the
+collapse of the Rebellion. This for the benefit of those who imagine
+that only one regiment was recruited in Northern Ohio.
+
+On February 5, 1862, a general movement was ordered to entrap the
+forces of Stonewall Jackson, then occupying Romney. The Twenty-ninth
+and its brigade took cars to French’s store, and marched some twenty
+miles to a point between Romney and Winchester to intercept the retreat
+of the rebels. The attempt was futile, however, as those whom the
+federals sought had flown ere the designated point was reached. This
+march was a terrible one, and told heavily on the men, many of whom
+succumbed to disease incident to exposure to the intense cold, the
+fording of streams whose icy waters were often waist deep, and the
+general hardships, were sent to hospital at Cumberland, and never
+returned to duty. Returning the following day, the regiment bivouacked
+at a point some eight miles from the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, known
+as Pine Levels or the Heights of Hampshire. Here it remained some ten
+days exposed to the intense cold, without tents, few blankets, on
+short rations, and no cooking utensils. Rude brush enclosures were
+constructed, which served the same purpose as Artemus Ward’s window
+sash, sort of “tangle the cold” or “keep out the coarsest.” It was by
+the greatest effort that the men were kept from freezing. This sort
+of thing seemed a pretty tough introduction to the “Sunny South,” but
+hardships of this kind became the normal experience of the Twenty-ninth
+regiment, and the sunny spots which occasionally intervened were duly
+appreciated.
+
+The next move was to the eastward to Paw Paw station on the Baltimore
+& Ohio railroad, near which the Twenty-ninth and its brigade went
+into camp. February 22d, Washington’s birthday, was duly observed. A
+general review was indulged in. The streets were prettily trimmed with
+evergreens; and arches, and other pretty devices were numerous. The
+Twenty-ninth were domiciled in small and nearly worn out wall tents.
+
+On Saturday, March 1st, as the shades of evening were falling, the
+Twenty-ninth and its command marched with two days’ rations, in the
+direction of Winchester, Virginia, the object being the capture of
+that important point. After an all night’s march the command halted,
+and, in a blinding snow storm, waited for further orders. At 5 o’clock
+P. M. a counter-march was ordered, and at about midnight the old camp
+at Paw Paw was reached. The object of this move was to attend the
+remains of brave General Lander to the cars, which was accomplished
+on the following day. All the troops in the vicinity were present. At
+9 o’clock on the morning of Saturday, March 8th, the command struck
+tents and marched to the railroad; at night took cars and moved in
+the direction of Martinsburg, en route for Winchester. Some two or
+three days were occupied in reaching the former place, as extreme
+caution was necessary. A burned bridge at Back creek stopped further
+steam locomotion, and on the 11th the command moved forward through
+Martinsburg, encamping some two miles out on the Winchester road. Here
+General James Shields, of some celebrity in the Mexican war, assumed
+command of the division, and the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania
+infantry volunteers was added to the brigade. The following morning the
+column continued the forward movement, under orders to join General
+Banks, in his attack on Winchester. The rebels retreated, and Shields’
+division went into camp to the north of Winchester, some four miles out
+on the Martinsburg pike.
+
+When the rebels first occupied Virginia General Johnston (commanding
+the extreme left of Beauregard’s army) took possession of Winchester.
+Troops from here destroyed the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and constantly
+harrassed our forces in the direction of Harper’s Ferry and Cumberland.
+It was of great importance that the Union arms gain and hold possession
+of this point, hence the concentration of Federal troops in this
+vicinity.
+
+Skirmishing with the enemy was a daily occurrence, and, on the morning
+of March 20th, a reconnoissance in force was made up the valley to
+Strasburg. General Shields, with the Twenty-ninth and its brigade,
+numbering some six thousand men, moved direct to that point, while
+Colonel Mason’s brigade advanced on the Front Royal road. At Cedar
+creek a lively artillery duel transpired, during which the rebels
+succeeded in burning the bridge. The following morning the entire
+command fell back to its camp below Winchester. This was a march which
+tested the men’s power of endurance to its utmost. The rain fell
+lightly but continuously during the day. For rations the men had barely
+one cracker each, and yet they made the entire distance--twenty-two
+miles--in seven hours, halting only a few minutes about noon.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER III.
+
+The Battle of Winchester or Kernstown--Stonewall Jackson Whipped.
+
+
+At Kernstown, some four miles south of Winchester, Jackson’s command,
+numbering fully fifteen thousand men, was massed, and on March 22d
+attacked the Union outposts. The citizens of Winchester, who, by the
+way, were about as thoroughly imbued with treason as at any point
+within the writer’s knowledge in the whole of the chivalrous (?) South,
+were in high glee at the prospect of being rid of those odious Lincoln
+hirelings, and some were so sanguine of success to the Southern arms
+that they prepared elegant repasts for the victors. However that may
+be, the rebel horde did not enter Winchester at this time, except,
+perhaps, a few dead ones carried there for burial.
+
+Soon after the firing began the First and Second brigades of General
+Shields’ division were moved to the front, and a lively skirmish
+ensued resulting in the repulse of the enemy. General Shields was
+wounded quite severely during this brief engagement, and at night,
+when active hostilities ceased, he retired to Winchester. The dawn of
+Sunday, March 23d, was heralded by the rapid boom of artillery and the
+lively rattle of musketry, as the advance of the two armies resumed
+the skirmishing of the previous afternoon. This was continued during
+nearly the entire forenoon. About noon the long roll beat throughout
+our camp; quickly the men fell into line, and in columns of fours,
+under command of brave Colonel Buckley, marched rapidly, a portion
+of the distance at a double quick, toward the point of attack. On
+reaching Winchester the regiment halted, came to a front, loaded their
+pieces, and remained until the artillery and trains had passed. We then
+moved on the road leading to Kernstown, some two or three miles, and
+again halted. After some vexatious delay the regiment again resumed
+the march and soon reached the scene of the action, which was about
+seven miles from Winchester. The enemy were under General Thomas J.
+Jackson (Stonewall). His right extending across the Pike leading to
+Strasburg, and his forces on his left masked behind a stone fence,
+while at the rear for a considerable distance the ground was a gradual
+ascent covered with stumps and wood which were well used as cover. The
+Twenty-ninth regiment and its brigade was moved to the extreme right
+of the line, and, formed in close column, by division, moved forward
+through the timber to the attack. At close range the rebels opened a
+heavy fire, but we continued to advance, halting at a small ravine
+where we deployed in line of battle, and in this position a sharp
+and determined engagement ensued. The distance between the opposing
+forces did not exceed sixteen rods. Late in the afternoon an order was
+given the Third brigade to charge the rebel line. Quick as thought the
+whole line sprang forward, and with cheers sounding above the roar
+of the conflict, in the teeth of a murderous fire, swept down over
+the stone wall and at the bayonet’s point drove the enemy from their
+chosen position. To the rear they fled until reaching their artillery,
+where another stand was made and a rally attempted. The Union lead
+poured into their ranks with such deadly effect that they soon became
+panic-stricken, and in the greatest disorder retreated in whatever
+direction best offered an avenue of escape, and Stonewall Jackson, the
+pride of the South and by many considered the bravest general in the
+rebel army, was whipped, and that, too, by a force much inferior in
+numbers, many of whom had never faced death before.
+
+To make the victory still more sure our forces followed the disordered
+mass of fleeing rebels and captured many prisoners, until darkness
+closed over all, when our brave boys returned to rest upon their
+laurels upon the bloody field of carnage, bury the dead and care for
+the wounded. The result of this battle was a loss to the rebels of
+the Shenandoah valley, at that time of great importance to them, with
+casualties amounting to some five hundred men killed, wounded, and left
+on the field, and three hundred prisoners. The loss of the Twenty-ninth
+regiment in this action was: Five killed, seven wounded, two missing;
+aggregate fourteen. See casualties at the close of the volume for
+names.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER IV.
+
+Pursuit of Jackson--The “Long” March--Fredericksburg to Front
+Royal--March to Waynesboro.
+
+
+At early dawn on the morning of March 24th the Union army pushed
+forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels. The Twenty-ninth deployed
+as skirmishes in the advance. Many wounded Confederates were found in
+private houses along the line of march. About noon the dashing rebel
+cavalry officer Ashby came from cover and suddenly swooped down upon
+the regiment with a heavy cavalry force. Rallying by companies and
+forming squares, a well directed volley soon sent the rebels in haste
+to the rear. The pursuit of the fleeing rebels was continued until
+nightfall, when the regiment went into bivouac near Cedar creek. The
+next morning (25th) our columns again pushed forward until reaching a
+point a little in advance of Strasburg, where a halt was ordered and
+a camp (Kimball), established. Here we remained for some time, making
+frequent raids into the surrounding country and skirmishing almost
+daily with the enemy.
+
+April 1st the regiment again moved after the retreating army, and
+about daylight on the following morning indulged in some artillery
+firing with the rebel rear guards. During the month of April the
+regiment marched up the valley as far as Newmarket, passing the towns
+of Woodstock and Mount Jackson. At the latter place a hospital was
+established, and companies G and E were detailed for provost, and
+other duties, in and around Mount Jackson, while the remainder of the
+regiment moved up the valley to Camp Thurburn and continued the usual
+picket, camp, and guard duties.
+
+May 3d left camp and marched up the valley in the direction of
+Harrisburg; halted about three miles from town and camped for the
+night. May 5th, returned from near the town of Harrisburg and went into
+camp four miles above Newmarket, where the regiment remained until
+the 12th day of May, when it left the Shenandoah valley at Newmarket
+on the long march to Fredericksburg, marched to Luray, and encamped
+for the night (marched eighteen miles). Thirteenth, moved at 7 A. M.
+The Twenty-ninth, was detailed as rear guard. Fourteenth, marched
+at 6, reached Front Royal at 3:30 P. M. and camped for the night.
+Fifteenth, marched at 9 A. M., traveled thirteen miles, and went into
+camp. Sixteenth, marched at 6:30 A. M., reached Gains’ Cross Road,
+and camped for the night, (marched ten miles). May 17th, marched at 6
+A. M., and reached Warrenton (distance of eighteen miles), and went
+into camp for the night. Sunday, May 18th, remained in camp. Monday,
+19th, marched at 5 o’clock A. M., and at 3 P. M. reached the Orange &
+Alexandria railroad at Catlet’s Station, and went into camp. Remained
+until May 21st, when the regiment again marched at 6 A. M., halting at
+10:30 P. M. for the night. Twenty-second, marched at 7 A. M., reached
+Falmouth in the evening, and went into camp. Friday, May 23d, the army
+under Major-general McDowell was reviewed by Abraham Lincoln, the
+President of the United States, with satisfactory results. Sunday,
+25th, marched at 6 A. M., and at 4:30 went into camp. Twenty-sixth,
+marched at 5 A. M., and camped for the night at Catlet’s Station.
+Twenty-seventh, marched some four miles on the Manassas Gap railroad,
+and went into camp. Twenty-eighth, marched at 5 A. M. past White
+Plains; after tramping fifteen miles went into camp. Twenty-ninth,
+marched at 7 o’clock A. M. in the direction of Front Royal, reached
+Rectortown at 4 o’clock P. M., and two hours later fell in, in light
+marching order, and moved forward, leaving the baggage until May
+31st, when at 4 o’clock A. M. it moved forward towards Front Royal,
+reaching Piedmont at 9 A. M., and Markham at 4 P. M.; moved to within
+six miles of Front Royal, and camped for the night. June 1st, marched
+to Front Royal, and at 4 P. M. moved forward some three miles on the
+Luray road, and went into camp. June 2d, marched at 6 A. M., marched
+thirteen miles, and went into camp. Third, marched at 7 A. M., reached
+Luray at 12 M., passed through the town on the Newmarket road, some
+two miles and camped. Fourth, remained in camp all day. Fifth, marched
+at 5 A. M., marched four miles, halted, put up our tents, and prepared
+to be comfortable, when at 3 o’clock P. M. we were ordered to move.
+This was occasioned by the close proximity of the rebel batteries on
+the opposite side of the river. The regiment marched about one mile
+and again halted for the night. Sixth, ordered to march at 4 A. M.,
+fell into line at 5, moved two miles, halted, stacked arms, soon fell
+in and marched about two miles farther, pitched our tents, and at 6
+P. M. fell in and marched back to the place the regiment left in the
+morning, where we arrived at 12 at night, and went into camp. Saturday,
+7th, the regiment was up at 4 A. M. and marched at 9 A. M. (the baggage
+was ordered to Luray and Front Royal; Sergeant C. H. Edgerly and
+Private Willard Denison, of Company H, were furloughed home for thirty
+days), marched up the east bank of the Shenandoah river, a distance of
+fourteen miles, halted at 6 P. M., and went into camp. Eighth, marched
+at 4 A. M., halted at 6:30 for breakfast, and at 8:15 again moved
+forward; soon heard the artillery firing at Cross Keys on the west
+side of the Shenandoah river and mountain. The regiment moved on up
+the river and about 5 o’clock P. M. were in sight of the rebels, whose
+ambulances and train were moving rapidly in retreat in the direction
+of Port Republic from the battle of Cross Keys. The Union forces were
+under the command of Major-general John C. Fremont, and the Confederate
+army commanded by Major-general Thomas J. Jackson. The Union army took
+shelter in a strip of woods at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountain,
+near Port Republic, Virginia, and bivouacked for the night.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER V.
+
+Battle of Port Republic--The Twenty-ninth Suffer Great Loss.
+
+
+On June 9th, in the dim light of early morning the enemy began to move,
+and soon our artillery opened a brisk fire on them. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment, under command of Colonel Buckley, was ordered to fall in,
+and at 6:45 o’clock marched out of the timber into the open field, and
+moved forward a short distance, when the men unslung knapsacks and
+other equipage and, reduced to light marching order, advanced by the
+right flank, and when near the rebel position came into line on the
+double quick. While doing so we were obliged to pass a board fence;
+and at this critical time the rebels opened a heavy fire of musketry,
+but the regiment moved steadily forward and took position in the open
+field. The rebels in front of our right wing were behind a strong post
+and rail fence.
+
+From the base of the mountain to the Shenandoah river was about
+one-half mile. The extreme left of our line extended into the timber
+and near the base of the mountain with the right flank extending to
+the river. The Fifth, Sixty-sixth and Seventh Ohio regiments were on
+our left, and the Seventh Virginia, Seventh, Thirteenth and Fourteenth
+Indiana on our right. The Twenty-ninth being about the right center
+regiment during the battle, and at this time in support of Huntington’s
+battery, which was belching forth its shot and shell, doing deadly
+execution in the ranks of the advancing rebels. When in close range
+the rebels charged. Reserving our fire until they were almost upon
+us, the order was given, and with a yell the entire line poured its
+leaden hail into the gray clad columns of the chivalry, producing
+fearful slaughter, and following with a charge so impetuous that they
+were forced to retire from their secure position behind the fence, and
+here, for more than three hours and a half, our brave fellows, though
+outnumbered ten to one by the enemy and fighting against fate, kept
+them at bay and held the position. During this charge it is said that
+Allen Mason, of company C, Twenty-ninth regiment, captured the colors
+of the Seventh Louisiana Tigers, and Lieutenant Gregory and a part of
+company F made prisoners of twenty-five of the same regiment. At last
+the little handful, who had so gallantly contended against such fearful
+odds, were forced to retire. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved to the
+rear, perhaps an eighth of a mile, and came to a halt, holding the
+rebel forces in check until the entire Union forces had passed to the
+rear. In the meantime the rebels had opened fire upon us with a battery
+at close range, which did fearful execution in our rapidly decimating
+ranks. When all our troops had passed, our regiment faced to the right
+and moved obliquely into the timber; the rebels in the meantime passed
+down the road and we were nearly surrounded, and now, for a distance
+of nearly two miles occurred a desperate struggle for freedom. The men
+fought with the desperation born of despair. Brave old Colonel Buckley
+(who before beginning the day’s business addressed the regiment,
+saying: “Aim low, men, and at every shot let a traitor fall!”) on foot,
+his own and one other horse having been disabled by a shot, rallied the
+men, and with sword in hand with them succeeded in cutting their way
+through the cordon of gray devils almost surrounding them, and escaped
+to the mountains near, where some one hundred men of the different
+regiments of the Third brigade, with Colonel Buckley at their head,
+bivouacked for the night. The small remainder of the regiment, except
+those killed, wounded or captured, succeeded in reaching the main
+army. Captain Baldwin says that those who reached the main army of the
+Twenty-ninth regiment numbered only thirteen officers and men.
+
+The night succeeding this eventful day of blood and carnage was spent
+amid the gloom and darkness of the forest. The men gathered about their
+brave commander as if to shield him from the damps of night, their
+thoughts turning meanwhile to the absent comrades, many of whom, how
+many they knew not, were lying, still and ghastly, upon the bloody
+field, a sacrifice to the incompetency of the general commanding. The
+day following, the little band began its weary march to the rear,
+seeking shelter at night in some unused furnace buildings. The next day
+they came in sight of the rear guard of the retreating army, where they
+found the small remnant of the Twenty-ninth, who had escaped death or
+capture, and who, when they saw their beloved colonel alive and well,
+fairly rent the very heavens above with their glad shouts of welcome.
+
+The number of the Union army engaged in this battle was some
+twenty-five hundred, and could form but one line of battle, while
+Stonewall Jackson’s official report shows his army to have numbered
+some _thirty-four thousand_. The Twenty-ninth regiment lost heavily in
+this battle. The aggregate was: Killed, 12; wounded, 33; captured, 105;
+total, 150.
+
+After the battle the Twenty-ninth regiment moved down the valley to
+Luray, where the command encamped for a few days’ rest, then forward
+to Front Royal, and on to Alexandria, reaching that point on June
+27th, encamping on a rise of ground immediately adjacent to the
+line of fortifications. The Third brigade was now composed of the
+Seventh, Fifth, Sixty-sixth, and Twenty-ninth Ohio regiments, in the
+order named. General Shields having resigned by reason of McDowell’s
+misrepresentations in relation to the ill-advised battle of Port
+Republic, General Sturgis, who has recently received so much adverse
+criticism through the press of the country, for his brutal and inhuman
+treatment of his men, was placed temporarily in command. After lying at
+this point for nearly one month orders were received to move to the aid
+of General McClellan on the Peninsula, and we embarked on transports,
+but the order was countermanded and the Third brigade marched back to
+its old camp.
+
+July 25th we were ordered to join the force of General Pope, then
+marching via Warrenton to the Rapidan river. Proceeding by rail to
+the former point the brigade was reorganized and attached to Banks’
+Second corps, afterwards changed to the Twelfth army corps, as the
+First brigade of General Augur’s Second division. After a few days of
+“masterly inactivity” we marched in the direction of Luray. Debouching
+to the left on the road leading southward toward the Rapidan, we soon
+reached Little Washington and went into camp. While here the troops
+were reviewed by Generals Pope and Banks, who complimented our brigade
+very highly upon its perfection in drill and discipline. General Tyler
+was here ordered to Washington, and Brigadier-general John W. Geary,
+late colonel of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania infantry volunteers, was
+placed in command of our brigade. His regiment and Knapp’s battery were
+also assigned to the brigade. A forward movement in the direction of
+Culpeper Court House, Virginia (on the Rapidan), was begun on August
+8th. Here the Confederates were preparing defences, and at Cedar
+Mountain, some seven miles to the southwest of our position, they were
+strongly fortified.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER VI.
+
+1862.
+
+Cedar Mountain--Battle--Severe Loss of Life--Forward to Alexandria.
+
+
+August 8th, the regiment moved at 2 o’clock, advanced to Culpeper Court
+House, and went into camp; and at 10:40, on the morning of August 9th,
+moved forward in the direction of Cedar mountain. Halted a short time,
+and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment was sent to the right on an
+eminence as signal guard. The remainder of the brigade soon advanced,
+halting at intervals, as the day was insufferably hot (several men died
+this day of sunstroke). At last, passing through a piece of timber,
+we approached the open field with a rolling country in our front, and
+at 1:30, while making preparations for dinner (near a fine spring
+of water), skirmishing and artillery firing was heard on our right,
+which continued at intervals until 3:45, when the rebels appeared in
+heavy force, ready for battle, and the Union lines were formed without
+delay. The Twenty-ninth regiment (commanded by Captain W. F. Stevens,
+of Company B,) was ordered to advance and take position in rear of
+a battery which had been placed on a ridge. Here the regiment took
+position, the right resting on the road, and the left extending into
+the field, covered from the enemy by the hill on which the battery
+was placed. The Twenty-ninth, with other regiments of the brigade,
+was about on the right of the left wing of the line in open field,
+while the right wing extended across the road, and into the timber.
+The regiment remained in this position, supporting the battery, and
+receiving a heavy fire from the rebel artillery in our front. Here
+several men were wounded.
+
+At 5 o’clock P. M., we moved over the crest of the hill, to a cornfield
+some distance in advance of our previous position. During the advance
+to this new position a terrific cannonade opened on us, dealing great
+destruction to our ranks. Apparently every cannon of the enemy was
+let loose against us, but we never faltered in this march of death,
+despite the terrible missiles that were tearing through our bleeding
+ranks. Comrades were falling, and brothers dying. The mangled and
+bleeding victims of the fury and violence of war were left thick
+around us, making the ground sacred on which they fell; but we wavered
+not. Reaching a low piece of ground, we halted, and were ordered to
+lie down and continue firing. We remained for one hour in the open
+field, exposed to this furious storm of grape and canister, shot and
+shell. Comrades gave up their lives so gently that it was scarce
+possible to tell the living from the dead. The fatal missile struck
+the victim, leaving the lifeless clay in the same attitude which the
+living body occupied. During the fatal period death assumed a real
+character while life seemed but a dream. The engagement had now become
+general. The brigade of General Prince came up, and formed on the left
+of our regiment. The Sixty-sixth, Fifth, and Seventh Ohio regiments
+were formed on our right, in the order named. (The Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania regiment was not with us in this engagement.)
+
+At a given signal the brigade arose and, with defiant yells, rushed
+forward to the charge. Prince’s brigade on the left moved forward
+with us. A sheet of flame and smoke burst forth from rebel batteries,
+musketry replied to musketry, bayonet clashed with bayonet, and cheers
+rang out against cheers, as one side or the other gained the advantage
+in this deadly conflict. Daring warmed into rashness, and bravery
+into recklessness. Hurrah! we force them back, their line is broken,
+a battery is almost within our grasp; when in this moment of seeming
+certain victory, fresh columns of rebel infantry rush upon us on the
+double-quick, masked batteries open on us at the same moment a most
+furious enfilading fire, causing our brave boys to reel and stagger.
+An order comes for us to retire, when three-fourths of our regiment
+have been placed out of the fight--dead or wounded. Slowly and sadly
+the remaining few obey the order, keeping our faces to the foe until
+fresh troops arrive to take our places, when we resume our position
+in the reserve near Telegraph hill. Each regiment of the brigade had
+done nobly, but all alike had suffered a loss so great that the four
+regiments together could not show a respectable facing front for one
+regiment. As night settled over the field of carnage and of death our
+entire army corps withdrew to the position it held early in the day,
+but our artillery kept up a desultory firing, with but short intervals
+during the night.
+
+The casualties of this battle were: Killed, 11; wounded, 26; missing,
+12. Total, 49.
+
+Private George Williams, company F, came off the field with his third
+gun--two having been shot from his hands.
+
+During August 10th and 11th skirmishing continued. In the afternoon of
+the last-named day the 29th regiment was inspected. Adjutant Storer
+reported eighty-three men only present for duty.
+
+The Union army remained on the field three days, retiring, on August
+12th, to Culpeper Court House, where it encamped. Our pickets,
+going over the battle field on the 13th, reported that dead horses
+were piled in promiscuous positions; dismounted cannons, wrecked
+caissons, and broken firearms were everywhere, while the graves of
+the fallen, singly and in trenches, were scattered over the entire
+field, only the freshly heaped up earth marking the spots. In one spot
+were the unburied bodies of a boy in blue and one in gray, their arms
+interlocked as their brave souls went out to the God who gave them, the
+one for the right, the other, it is hoped, forgiven for his misguided
+championship of the wrong.
+
+Twelfth, marched to Culpeper Court House, and went into camp. 13th,
+put up tents and prepared to live. 14th, and all is quiet. 15th,
+another inspection and review. There is one consolation if we do have
+inspection every other day, there are so few men left that but little
+time is consumed in doing so. 16th, 17th, and 18th, still in camp; was
+inspected again, and at 6 o’clock on the evening of the latter day,
+struck tents under orders to march; slept on our arms that night. 19th,
+marched at 10 A. M., north to the Rappahannock, a distance of eleven
+miles, and went into camp. Had only a small quantity of green corn
+to eat. 20th, all quiet in camp. 21st, at 6 A. M. firing began, and
+was kept up along the line all day; at 7 in the evening the regiment,
+under command of Captain Schoonover, marched two miles and halted;
+company H was sent forward to the picket line, and the regiment moved
+at 6:30 A. M. along the Rappahannock; halted at 9:30; after a brief
+rest the regiment again fell in, and marched till 12 at noon without
+breakfast; sharp firing along the line; halted until 6 o’clock P. M.;
+moved up the Rappahannock river two miles, halted, stacked arms, and
+remained up nearly all night; (rainy) no tents or blankets, made our
+bed of rails. Saturday, August 23d, at 6 o’clock A. M. the artillery
+opened fire, and continued until 11 o’clock P. M.; remained on our arms
+all day; at 10 o’clock P. M. moved a short distance up the river, and
+the Twenty-ninth went on picket. 24th, and all is quiet; at 9:30 A. M.
+the artillery commenced firing, which was kept up continually during
+the day. 25th, artillery and musketry firing all along the line; at
+8 o’clock P. M. the Twenty-ninth with its brigade moved up the river
+four miles and camped for the night. 26th, no rations for breakfast,
+but after a short time some green corn was procured, which filled the
+bill. At 8 A. M. the artillery dueling again commenced and was kept up
+the remainder of the day. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved one-half mile
+for shelter, remained here until 9 P. M., when it marched forward until
+3 o’clock A. M., of the 27th; halted, moved forward a distance of three
+miles, and again halted. At 1 o’clock P. M., moved in the direction of
+Warrenton Junction, and camped for the night (no rations for supper
+or breakfast). On the morning of the 28th day of August, the regiment
+moved at 5 A. M., marched three miles and halted, drew rations and moved
+on in the direction of Bristow station, and camped for the night. Heavy
+firing in our advance all day. 29th, remained in camp, about two miles
+above Bristow station. 30th, marched at 6 o’clock A. M. and halted at
+Bristow station, and remained till 5 o’clock P. M., when the enemy was
+reported in our rear. The sick and disabled were moved to Alexandria
+and other points. August 31st, teams and trains containing camp and
+garrison equipage and other army supplies, were moved in the direction
+of Fairfax Court House.
+
+During the campaign under Major-general Pope from August 20th until
+the regiment reached Alexandria on the 2d day of September, 1862, it
+was one continuous march and counter-march, by day and night, moving
+up the Rappahannock as far as White Sulphur Springs. On the 29th and
+30th of August near the Bull Run battle ground. A very hard battle was
+fought, in which the Nationals were forced from the field, and again
+late in the afternoon on the 1st day of September at Chantilly, a short
+distance from Fairfax Court House, a sanguinary battle was fought,
+which continued late in the evening. In this last engagement the
+Nationals held the field at night, and on the 2d the Union army fell
+back within the fortifications around Washington city. During the last
+two or three days of the above campaign the Twenty-ninth regiment was
+completely cut off from the main army, as it had been ordered to guard
+the quartermaster stores with other government property on the railroad
+at and near Bristow station, and when ordered to join its brigade it
+found the enemy in the rear, so that it was only by a circuitous route
+in the direction of Brintsville, and a forced march that it reached the
+Chantilly battlefield during the engagement, on September 1st. Here it
+bivouacked for the night, and on the following day marched to Arlington
+heights, via Alexandria, where it went into camp.
+
+During the last twelve days of the campaign the Twenty-ninth suffered
+severely for rations and rest, it being on the march, under fire, and
+on the skirmish line the entire time. When we reached Fairfax station,
+on the platform of the depot we found an immense table upon which our
+wounded boys were being subjected to the ofttimes bungling butchery
+of ignorant alleged surgeons, a number of whom were busily engaged in
+depriving the poor fellows under their charge of wounded legs and
+arms, and in many cases hastening their death thereby. This worse than
+murder by men, the majority of whom, when at home, had never even
+witnessed a capital operation, cannot be too highly condemned. (The
+writer is personally acquainted with professional men of this sort,
+who came out of the service first-class carvers, but the number of
+brave fellows sacrificed to bring about this state of proficiency is
+unknown.) It was now ascertained that the Confederate army of General
+Lee was making rapid marches towards Maryland. To checkmate this
+movement our columns were at once ordered on a retrograde movement in
+the direction of Washington. Reaching Alexandria, we passed up the
+Potomac, crossing at the long bridge, and moving forward to Georgetown
+where a halt of one day was made, the command departing the following
+morning for Frederick City, Maryland, which was said to be occupied by
+the rebels. A day’s march brought us beyond Rockville, Maryland, where
+we encamped for the night. At 2 o’clock, on the afternoon of September
+5th, the regiment marched to Monocacy Junction, where the rebels had a
+short time previous destroyed the railroad bridge.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER VII.
+
+Frederick City--Recruits--Dumfries.
+
+
+The regiment remained at Monocacy junction, guarding the immense
+supply trains which had accumulated here by reason of the burned
+bridge. Sergeant Baldwin relates that a lot of rebel prisoners passed
+Monocacy bridge, one of whom claimed to have fired seven shots at
+Colonel Buckley at the battle of Port Republic, but without effect.
+About September 13th, the bridge having been replaced, we moved on to
+Frederick city, Maryland. Here we engaged in camp, picket, and provost
+duty, and a large number of the men were detailed to care for the
+wounded from the battlefields of South Mountain and Antietam, September
+14th and 17th.
+
+In the meantime we were joined by a large number of recruits, amongst
+which was a brigade cornet band, composed of the following members:
+George Shaw, leader; Everett Shaw, assistant leader; J. G. Caskey,
+Jacob Koplin, Sylvanus Hile, Columbus Ferguson, N. G. Hartman,
+Christian Hardag, William Kurtz, George Metcalf, James Lyon, “Bige”
+Nickerson, Benjamin Snyder, George Turney, Micajah Rice, Bennett
+Wadsworth, Edward White, Frank Waltz, Eli Waltz; Gurley G. Crane, drum
+major.
+
+November 25th, Colonel Clark says: “Patiently waiting in camp. ‘Dress
+parade’ to-day, the first many of us have seen since May last. Only
+about two hundred men in line. Remembering how far our line reached at
+Camp Giddings, our force looks small indeed.”
+
+November 27th. “Cold and raw. A fierce gale makes our canvas houses
+rock like cradles. We are now having an easy time; that is all but the
+men and the mules. Our men go on duty every other day. As to rations,
+don’t think any of us will get the gout.”
+
+November 27th. “Thanksgiving.--‘Distance lends enchantment,’ etc., to
+turkeys, chickens, pies, and fixin’s that make good cheer at home.
+Well, some of us are thankful--that we are here instead of being locked
+up in those dirty rebel prisons. Nine of our officers and a large
+number of our men have just been released. This inactivity is irksome
+to the volunteer who has business at home needing his attention. We
+hardly think Burnside will reach Richmond via Fredericksburg unless he
+goes as some of us did--as prisoners.”
+
+On the 10th day of December, 1862, the regiment struck tents at
+Frederick City, Maryland, and moved by cars in the direction of
+Harper’s Ferry. At Sandy Hook a halt was made for the night; slept in
+freight cars; suffered severely from cold. The following day marched
+at 6 A. M. About noon crossed the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers into
+Virginia; marched about nine miles and camped for the night. Twelfth,
+marched at 3 P. M. some nine miles and went into camp. Thirteenth, moved
+at 6 A. M., marched twelve miles, halted for dinner, passed through
+Leesburg, and camped for the night. Fourteenth, marched at sunrise,
+passed through Fairfax Court House to the station, where we encamped.
+Fifteenth, marched till about 4 P. M., crossed Broad run and encamped
+for the night. Sixteenth, marched four miles in rain, snow, and mud; at
+12 M. halted for dinner; had a fight with a Pennsylvania regiment over
+some rails that had been collected from the fence. These we used for
+wood occasionally in preparing our meals.
+
+[It] is perhaps unnecessary to mention that the Twenty-ninth boys
+enjoyed good fires to-day. In the afternoon the Twenty-ninth went on
+picket one mile to the rear. Seventeenth, brigade counter-marched
+to Fairfax station, where it remained until the 19th, when it moved
+southeast about one and one-half miles to an orchard, where it
+encamped, and where it remained until the 27th, when it marched at 9
+A. M.; reached Broad run late in the evening. On the hill on the south
+side of the creek was a fort occupied by rebels; the Twenty-ninth
+crossed the creek, halted, loaded their guns, and advanced, and a
+red-hot little skirmish ensued at the close of which the rebels fell
+back. We went into the fort, sending two companies out in the road
+leading towards Dumfries as skirmishers. The regiment remained on
+arms all night; cold and frosty. Guns are not very warm bed-fellows.
+Twenty-eighth, marched at 7:30 A. M., Twenty-ninth in advance of
+division. About 10 o’clock met some rebel cavalry; the Twenty-ninth
+regiment deployed into line of battle, a few shots were fired, and the
+rebels fell back. One man wounded in company A. While in this position
+Generals Slocum, Geary, and Green came up; a battery was soon in
+position which sent a few shots after the retreating rebel cavalry. In
+the afternoon marched through the woods on right of road, in line of
+battle, while the division moved in the road; skirmishing the balance
+of the day. At dark we halted three miles from Dumfries and camped for
+the night. Twenty-ninth, reached Dumfries’ about 10 o’clock A. M., and
+went into camp on the side hill in the woods north of town.
+
+January 1, 1863, the regiment and its brigade remained at Dumfries,
+doing camp and picket duty, until January 16th, when it was ordered
+to march on two hours’ notice, did not march. On the 17th and 18th
+nothing transpired worthy of note. On the 19th the regiment passed
+in grand review by Colonel Charles Canby, of the Sixty-sixth Ohio
+infantry. January 27th, General Geary visited the regiment while on
+parade, and complimented us on our discipline, neat appearance, and
+soldierly deportment. February 2nd, Colonel L. P. Buckley, Adjutant T.
+S. Winship, Captain E. Burridge and Lieutenant Gregory, of company F,
+resigned and went home. Lieutenant J. B. Storer was made adjutant, and
+Sergeant H. R. Baldwin, of company F, promoted to captain. February 3d,
+Companies D and I were detached at Dumfries landing, on the Potomac,
+about four miles from camp, doing guard duty, unloading army supplies
+from boats, and loading the Second Division trains.
+
+On the 14th some musketry firing was heard in the direction of
+Brentsville.
+
+March 9th, Eli Waltz, of Company D, and a member of the brigade band,
+died.
+
+April 16th, Companies D and I moved from the landing, and joined the
+regiment.
+
+From the 29th day of December, 1862, the time when the Twenty-ninth
+regiment entered Dumfries, its duties were severe; the line of
+pickets was over three miles long, and over one mile from camp; and
+as the rebel cavalry were hovering around, the main roads entering
+Dumfries, were patroled at night. Our men suffered severely from
+cold and the protracted storms. In the meantime five companies were
+added to the brigade. The Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania originally had
+fifteen companies; five companies were added to the new recruits, and
+designated the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania, with Ario
+Pardee as colonel. Our first brigade now consists of the Twenty-ninth,
+Seventh, Fifth, and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments, and Twenty-eighth and
+One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania.
+
+The suffering our men endured during our stay at Dumfries from
+inclemency of the weather, the arduous service, and the scarcity of
+almost every necessity, cannot be easily over-estimated, and it might
+with propriety go into history as a counterpart of that much written
+about, and extensively illustrated affair “Washington at Valley Forge.”
+
+About the 20th day of April, 1863, with Colonel Clark in command, the
+Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade, left Dumfries, Virginia,
+and marched to Aqua creek, which place it reached two days later,
+and encamped about one mile from the Potomac river. Aqua creek is
+sixty miles below Washington on the river; it was used as a base for
+supplies, and a field hospital was soon established. The regiment
+with its brigade remained at this place performing the usual camp
+and garrison duty, building forts and, at the same time, doing its
+full share of picket duty. We are encamped on the hill overlooking
+the Potomac. To the north and west is a fine rolling country partly
+covered with pine timber and tangled undergrowth. All was quiet until
+orders were received to march; then what a bustle; haversacks were
+filled, each soldier furnished with sixty rounds of ammunition, and
+preparations made for “business.” At 7 o’clock A. M., on the 27th day
+of April, the regiment fell into line and moved forward on the road
+leading to Kelleys ford via Stafford Court House and Hartwood church,
+reaching the Rappahannock river at Kelley’s ford late in the afternoon.
+The enemy was found in small force on the south bank of the river. Late
+in the evening the Sixty-sixth Ohio regiment crossed the river in a
+small boat capable of carrying but one company at a time. The regiment
+deployed as skirmishers, holding the enemy back until the division
+had all crossed when we bivouacked for the night. The next morning we
+marched at 5:30 A. M., the Twenty-ninth regiment in advance; passed
+through a low, level country, with heavy timber; halted at 12 M. for
+dinner at a fine residence on a large plantation; fell in at 1:30 P. M.
+and moved in an easterly direction, reaching the Rapidan river late
+in the afternoon. The bridge had been destroyed, so that a crossing
+was not effected until in the evening, after which the Twenty-ninth
+camped for the night. 29th instant,--marched at 7:30 A. M. on the direct
+road to Chancellorsville. About 10 o’clock A. M. General Slocum came
+up and orders were received for the Twenty-ninth regiment to send out
+a line of skirmishers on the right of the road, which was done, the
+regiment passing through an open field and entering the timber, forcing
+the enemy back; marched on the flank through the woods and thick
+undergrowth for several miles, were then ordered to join the brigade.
+We reached Chancellorsville late in the afternoon of April 30th, where
+we found a small force of Confederate soldiers who were engaged in
+throwing up earthworks near the Chancellor house, at a point where the
+roads crossed, one leading to the United States ford, and the other
+to Fredericksburg. The Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade and
+division, were the first Union soldiers to enter the place. A number of
+prisoners were taken, and late in the evening the Twenty-ninth moved a
+short distance southwest from the main road and the Chancellor house
+into a piece of timber and bivouacked for the night.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER VIII.
+
+1863.
+
+Battle of Chancellorsville--March to Leesburg, Littletown, and
+Gettysburg.
+
+
+The morning of May 1st dawned upon a scene of bustle and active
+preparation for the bloody work which was to follow. Troops had been
+arriving during the entire night from the direction of the United
+States ford, and the light of early morning revealed an almost solid
+mass of blue-coated soldiers filling the open fields and woods in the
+vicinity of the Chancellor house. They were mainly from the Fifth,
+Eleventh, and Twelfth corps. At about 8 o’clock A. M. the Twenty-ninth,
+with its brigade and division, made a reconnoissance in force, and
+after marching about one-half mile the division formed in line of
+battle, and in this position was moved about the field until afternoon,
+when the lines were generally moved to the east through the timber,
+the right resting on the road. Moving perhaps half a mile we found the
+enemy in strong force, his artillery masked in the road. During this
+time some skirmishing and artillery firing was indulged in, and several
+of the Twenty-ninth were wounded. Late in the afternoon we moved to the
+rear under a heavy fire from the rebel artillery. Reaching the place
+we had left in the morning we set to work throwing up breastworks.
+The rebels advanced and our skirmishers kept up a rattling fire all
+night, while the regiment worked like beavers preparing the works for
+the coming conflict. The Second division, commanded by John W. Geary,
+occupied about the left center in the order of battle.
+
+During the evening of May 1st the Confederate army were charging the
+right of our lines, and for four hours the artillery firing on both
+sides was terrific. It continued at intervals the entire night. The
+air was ablaze and full of deadly missiles dealing destruction all
+around us; the earth trembled under our feet; the rattle and roar of
+artillery was like continued bursts of thunder. The heavens seemed
+on fire, revealing the deadly strife of two grand armies locked in
+close embrace, fighting with desperate valor. The dense smoke was
+lightened by rapid flashes of artillery, the bursting of shell, and the
+unceasing discharges of musketry, making a scene grand and terrible
+in the extreme. At midnight this deadly combat ceased, the death-like
+stillness which succeeded being broken only by the cries of the wounded
+and the dying comrades so recently beside us in deadly combat. About 1
+o’clock at night pickets were posted forty yards from the main line. We
+were so near the rebel pickets we could hear every movement. Here we
+lay flat on the ground watching for demonstrations of the enemy until
+the dawning of another day of blood and death. In the first flush of
+early morning the rebels advanced with columns _en masse_ and at once
+opened fire on us. This we returned and then quickly retired under a
+storm of leaden hail. Leaping over the rifle-pits we soon rejoined the
+command.
+
+The Twenty-ninth regiment now moved in a southwesterly direction along
+the line of works a short distance, in support of a New York regiment.
+While supporting this regiment the Twenty-ninth was under artillery
+fire from the right flank. Colonel Clark was struck by a shell, and
+rendered unconscious nearly two hours. The regiment again moved into
+its old position on the road south of the Chancellorsville house,
+where it remained under heavy fire of artillery and musketry, and in
+the afternoon our right flank was turned, and the Union army was soon
+forced back in the direction of the river, at Banks’ ford. When the
+Twenty-ninth fell back the rebels were in possession of the Chancellor
+house, and there were not one hundred Union soldiers in sight. The army
+fell back about one mile and a half, filling the woods and the road
+leading to Banks’ ford. Here it took a strong position and threw up a
+line of works and remained until May 6th, when, after being on arms
+all night, it marched at 6 A. M., crossed the river at Banks’ ford, and
+camped for the night.
+
+During the three days’ fight the Twenty-ninth regiment lost quite
+heavily; the killed were four, wounded forty-two, and prisoners
+twenty-five.
+
+In this action the rebel loss was officially reported in killed,
+wounded, and missing, as upward of 10,000 men, while the Union loss was
+about the same. The rebel loss in killed and wounded was greater than
+ours, in addition to which they lost one of their ablest generals.
+
+May 7th, marched at 6:30 A. M. It rained hard all day. We passed
+Hartwood church, Staffordshire, and went into camp near Aqua creek, and
+here it remained until June 3d, when the regiment moved to the south
+about one mile, and engaged in the construction of two small forts.
+
+Early on the morning of June 13th, we received orders to march. Tents
+were struck, but it was not until late in the afternoon that we moved,
+and then marched during the whole night, reaching Dumfries after
+daylight on the morning of the 14th.
+
+15th, march at 4 A. M. Halted on the north bank of the Occoquan creek
+for dinner. Resuming the march in the afternoon we passed Fairfax
+station and Court House on the road leading to Leesburg (marched
+twenty-five miles). This was a march of much suffering to the men,
+several of whom died during the day from sunstrokes.
+
+16th. Remained in camp all day.
+
+17th. March in the direction of Leesburg. Halted at 12 M., and camped
+for the night.
+
+June 18th. Marched to near Leesburg and went into camp. _Oh! How it
+rains!_
+
+19th. Remained in camp cleaning up guns and equipage, and all is
+quiet. In the afternoon the Twelfth army corps were ordered out to
+witness the shooting of three deserters from the First division of the
+Twelfth army corps. Following are the names: William McKee, company A,
+Forty-sixth Pennsylvania; Christopher Krumbart, company A, Forty-sixth
+Pennsylvania; and William Grover, company B, Thirteenth New Jersey.
+Lieutenant-colonel Clark left us here badly broken down in health.
+
+Sunday, June 20th. In camp cleaning up for inspection. 21st and 22d in
+camp. 23d, 24th and 25th, Captain Schoonover, in charge of one hundred
+and twenty men from the brigade, felling timber, uncovering Ball’s
+Bluff in front of Fort Beauregard.
+
+26th. The regiment left Leesburg, crossing the Potomac at Edward’s
+Ferry, passed Poolsville, and encamped for the night at Monocacy
+aqueduct.
+
+27th. Moved at 4:30 A. M. by way of Point of Rocks, Petersville and
+Parkersburg, and camped for the night five miles from Harper’s Ferry.
+
+28th. Moved in the forenoon, passing through Harper’s Ferry, then up
+the tow path of the Baltimore & Ohio canal to Clear Springs, where the
+Twenty-ninth passed under the canal through a culvert, and moving in
+the direction of Frederick City, Maryland, went into camp.
+
+29th. Moved through Frederick City in the direction of Pennsylvania,
+and went into camp. General Hooker was relieved from command of the
+Army of the Potomac, and General George G. Mead placed in command.
+
+30th. Moved north into Pennsylvania, and late in the afternoon reached
+Littlestown, where we had a skirmish with the advance guard of the
+rebel Lee, which falling back toward Gettysburg, we moved north of
+town; mustered for pay and went into camp for the night.

+
+
+CHAPTER IX.
+
+Gettysburg.
+
+1863.
+
+
+July 1, 1863, the Twenty-ninth regiment, under command of Captain
+Edward Hayes, marched at 6:30 A. M., passed through Littletown and on
+towards Gettysburg. After moving some five miles, we halted, and while
+preparing for dinner, first heard the distant artillery firing which
+seemed to be many miles away.
+
+While resting, troops were passing to the front. Meanwhile some of
+Company H had advanced to an eminence, from which they soon returned,
+reporting that the cannonading was not far off, as they could plainly
+see the shells as they burst above the timber. We were soon on the
+march, halting occasionally to breathe, as it was excessively hot
+and dusty. When about two miles from Gettysburg, we met ambulances
+returning with the wounded of the First and Eleventh corps, which
+had been engaged. Advancing a short distance, we found still further
+evidence of the fight in the bodies of those who had been killed
+in battle, and left beside the road. Late in the afternoon the
+Twenty-ninth reached the Union lines near Seminary Hill, and here
+batteries were in position. The troops were moving, and the rapid
+forming of lines gave evidence that a _battle_ was _nigh_.
+
+The Twenty-ninth regiment filed to the left of the pike, and advancing
+about forty rods, took a position in a wheat field, in line of battle,
+and here remained on arms during the night.
+
+During the day (July 1st) the First corps, commanded by General J. F.
+Reynolds, had a sharp fight, in which Reynolds was killed. The Eleventh
+corps (Howard’s) was also engaged. Late in the afternoon the Nationals
+were pressed back, and took a strong position a short distance from
+Gettysburg, on Seminary Ridge, which ended the battle for that day.
+
+During the night we could hear the moving of confederate troops and
+artillery in our front, while at the same time the Nationals were
+coming onto the field, so that in the morning of July 2d, the open
+field and woods presented a solid mass of troops, artillery and supply
+trains.
+
+About 8 o’clock A. M., July 2d, the Twenty-ninth regiment moved back to
+the pike, and moved with the division to a position in the timber on a
+hill, near the right of the line. Here breastworks were thrown up, and
+skirmishing was almost continuous along the line during the forenoon,
+and until about 3 o’clock P. M., when the struggle was renewed on the
+left, and gradually extended to the center. About 6 o’clock P. M., there
+was a lull on the left, and the fight raged with renewed vigor on the
+extreme right and center, with Howard’s Eleventh and Slocum’s Twelfth
+corps. Late in the evening the Twenty-ninth, with the brigade, withdrew
+from the works, and moved back about three-fourths of a mile, where it
+remained during the forepart of the night, moving back and forth, and
+constantly skirmishing. The entire army appeared to be in motion the
+greater part of the night.
+
+July 3, 1863, at the dawn of day, the Twenty-ninth, with the brigade,
+moved back to, and took position in the works left the night before,
+and about 4 o’clock A. M. the conflict was renewed.
+
+The rebels who had possession of our works were quickly driven back,
+and, fifteen minutes after the first gun was fired, the engagement
+became general along the entire line, and for six hours the musketry
+was one continued roll, interspersed at intervals by the crash of the
+artillery. The Twenty-ninth remained in the works except when allowed
+to retire to secure ammunition, clean pieces, etc. While thus securing
+ammunition the rebels charged the line on our right, gained possession
+of the works, and were advancing in force, when that gallant officer,
+Colonel Hayes, ordered the Twenty-ninth to fall in, fix bayonets, and
+advance to the charge of the rebels in the rifle pits and advancing on
+our right. The regiment made a half wheel to the right and advanced
+double-quick, when the rebels gave way. An eastern shore regiment took
+position next on our right, holding the rebels in check. A battery
+was immediately placed in position, a few rounds from which sent the
+Confederates to the rear, leaving their dead and wounded thick about
+our line of works.
+
+The Confederates in our front were Ewell’s corps, including our
+old acquaintance, Stonewall Jackson’s brigade, which fought with
+desperation. The rattle of the musketry, which extended from the
+extreme right to the left center of our line, had now become
+continuous, and about 1 o’clock P. M. General Lee opened a furious fire
+upon our lines from over one hundred and fifty pieces of artillery,
+to which more than one hundred National guns quickly responded; some
+sixty thousand small arms were heard amidst the roar of artillery. This
+unearthly din continued until late in the afternoon, when the firing
+ceased except at intervals, and this continued during the entire night.
+
+Brevet Captain George Hayward, of company E, promoted for gallant
+conduct at Chancellorsville, was killed in this fight. He was daring
+almost to rashness, always at the front, unmindful of danger, while his
+tender solicitude for his men endeared him to all who knew him, and his
+death was sincerely regretted. The rebel who killed him was concealed
+in the crevice of the rock not more than twenty paces from our line.
+Upon again exposing his person not less than one hundred rifles were
+discharged at him; he sprang backward, a shrill cry rang out upon the
+air, and brave Hayward’s death was avenged.
+
+A little further down the hill lay the dead body of Major Light,
+assistant adjutant-general on Ewell’s staff, who had perished in the
+morning assault.
+
+Early on the morning of July 4th the Twenty-ninth regiment advanced in
+reconnoissance over the battlefield, and for the first time gained a
+full knowledge of the fearful loss of life the rebels had sustained,
+full five thousand of whom had answered to their last roll-call. Still
+the mystery exists how any rebels escaped, as each soldier of the Union
+army had, in the seven hours’ fight, fired two hundred and fifty rounds
+of ammunition, sufficient to have annihilated the entire Southern army.
+
+We moved forward to the base of Culp’s hill, and thence left, to the
+creek near Cemetery hill, on the opposite bank of which were posted
+the gray-coated pickets of the enemy. Rebel troops were moving through
+the town, while a force was fortified on Seminary ridge. Pickets were
+thrown out to observe their movements and we retired to the main line.
+
+During the day nearly five thousand stand of rebel arms were collected
+from the field, in front of Geary’s division alone. Our fallen comrades
+were tenderly, though rudely, transferred to the kindly embrace of
+mother earth, while the wounded were collected at convenient points to
+receive the necessary treatment.
+
+Whoever has followed the phases of the battle of Gettysburg must have
+been expressed with the stubborn valor displayed on both sides by the
+common soldiers. The dauntless resolution exhibited in the attacks
+made it a terribly bloody and destructive conflict, and the unyielding
+and resolute front of the defence brought victory. But there was no
+possibility of achieving on either side such sweeping and complete
+triumphs as are recorded of wars in other countries and in other days,
+in a contest between two armies where the common soldiers were of such
+a temper and in such earnest as were these. It is a sad spectacle to
+see the manhood of two claiming to be Christian peoples thus march out
+to a field, like trained pugilists, and beat, and gouge, and pummel
+each other until one or the other from exhaustion must yield. It is
+revolting and sickening, and it is hoped that the day will come when
+disputes arising among nations may be settled by compromise, as two
+reasonable and upright men would decide a difference, governed by the
+golden rule, instead of resorting to blows where right and justice must
+be subordinate to brute force. But in a great battle like that which
+we have been considering it is not the soldiers themselves who are
+responsible, but the parties who make the quarrel. Hence, while the
+mind revolts at the scenes of destruction which the field discloses,
+the immediate actors are not to be held accountable. They go in
+obedience to the dictates of duty and of patriotism, and while they
+may indulge no personal hatred toward those who for the time they call
+enemies, they must in battle inflict the greatest possible injury upon
+them. In all ages the highest honors have been reserved for those who
+have fought the battles of their country--and this is right. For if
+there is any deed in the power of a mortal which can sway the feelings
+or soften the heart it is that of one man laying down his life for
+another. The breast heaves and the eye is suffused with tears at the
+spectacle of Pythias putting his life in jeopardy only for his friend.
+There is a halo of glory hovering about the profession of arms. It has
+its seat in the sacrifice of self, which is its ruling spirit.
+
+The man who stands upon the field of battle and faces the storm of
+death that sweeps along, whether he merely puts his life thus in
+jeopardy or is actually carried down in death, torn and mangled in
+the dread fight, is worthy of endless honors, and though we class the
+deed with the lowest of human acts, prompted by a hardihood which we
+share with the brutes, and in which the most ignorant and besotted may
+compete with the loftiest, yet it is an act before which humanity will
+ever bow and uncover. Who that walked that field of carnage and beheld
+the maimed and mangled, and him cold in death, could withhold the
+tribute of honor and respect? For, could he make that dying soldier’s
+lot his own, or that of his nearest and dearest friend, he would only
+then justly realize the sacrifice. Our casualties in the fight were:
+Killed, nine; wounded, thirty-five; missing, one. Total, forty-five.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER X.
+
+Return to Washington--Embark for New York--Return--Transferred to the
+Western Army.
+
+
+The pursuit of the retreating enemy was commenced by the Twelfth
+army corps at 1 o’clock P. M., on July 5th. At night we encamped at
+Littletown, Pennsylvania, and on the following morning moved by the
+way of Frederick to Antietam creek. On the 7th instant we marched
+through Frederick, filed to the right, and passed by a rebel spy
+that was hanging to a limb of a tree. We moved a short distance, and
+halted, where we remained all night. On the 8th we marched over the
+mountains in the direction of Sharpsburg. On the 9th we passed over the
+battlefield, and camped near Fairplay, Maryland. On the 10th we moved
+through the town, and camped for the night near Falling waters. On the
+following day we advanced to Fairplay, a small town to the south of
+St. James’ college, and the Twenty-ninth regiment, with its customary
+good (?) fortune, was thrown out as skirmishers, and during the day
+exchanged frequent shots with the enemy’s cavalry, and at night resting
+in position on the extreme front.
+
+During the night rebel cavalry approached very near our line, but our
+orders were positive not to fire unless attacked. On the following
+morning we were relieved and retired to the main line, where we assumed
+position as support to Knapp’s battery, which was hotly engaged at
+intervals during the day.
+
+On the morning of the 13th instant we rejoined our brigade,
+anticipating an attack. Riflepits were thrown up and due preparation
+made. The enemy are strongly fortified between St. James’ college and
+Williamsport, some two miles distant, and on the 14th he was reported
+as falling back across the Potomac. Heavy cannonading is heard towards
+the river, and the First division of General Williams advances in
+reconnoissance, the Second acting as support. A dispatch states that
+Lee’s army, in full retreat, began crossing the river yesterday,
+continued through the night and to-day. Our troops are hotly engaged
+with his rear guard, and we remain in position until the morning of the
+18th, when we move briskly forward in pursuit of the fleeing chivalry,
+who were now across the Potomac in Virginia. We marched via Sharpsburg
+and Antietam.
+
+While passing through the woods three men were shot by Mosby’s cavalry.
+A march of sixteen miles and we halt within three miles of Harper’s
+Ferry. At Sandy Hook we remain until the morning of the 19th instant,
+when we move forward via Harper’s Ferry, to Hillsboro, Virginia.
+
+On the following morning we are early on the move, advancing as far
+as Snickersville, near the gap of that name, where pickets are thrown
+out and we bivouac for the night. We remain here for two days, during
+which time we muster and pass in review. Colonel W. T. Fitch recently
+promoted, and who has been absent on leave since March 28th, joined us
+here, and assumed command.
+
+On the morning of the 23d we again moved forward, passing through
+Upperville and on to Ashby’s gap, where, at a late hour, we go into
+camp. Having marched thirty miles since morning sleep was sweet that
+night, with mother earth for a bed, and only heaven’s blue canopy
+for a cover. At 3 o’clock on the morning of the 24th we march rapidly
+forward through the villages of Markham and Linden, halting for dinner
+at Manassas gap, then forward, changing direction by column to the
+south-southeast, in the direction of White Plains. Marching sixteen
+miles we halted for the night.
+
+The next day we marched to White Plains, and the next by the way of
+Thoroughfare gap, Haymarket, and Greenwich, the latter a pretty little
+village, settled by English people, for whose protection guards were
+stationed, as they were in fact in many instances for the protection
+of rebel property. After a brief halt we marched forward via Catlett’s
+station and Warrenton, where we joined the First and Eleventh corps of
+our army and encamped for the night, then forward again to Kelley’s
+Ford, on the Rappahannock, when, after a short visit, the brigade took
+cars for Alexandria, Virginia, under orders for New York city, to quell
+the memorable draft riots induced by the Southern sympathizers and
+copperheads.
+
+On August 23d we embarked on the steamer Baltic and moved down the
+Potomac. When near its outlet we went fast aground. This action
+occurred about noon on the 24th, and three days elapsed before we were
+again on the move. On the 28th, at 9:45 A. M., we round Cape Henry and
+strike the swells of the Atlantic. A rough sea soon sends many of the
+command to the rail to--well, if the reader was ever seasick he will
+appreciate the situation. It is not pleasant to linger long upon this
+scene; the recollection of it, even now, almost destroys one’s interest
+in sublunary affairs.
+
+On the 29th we pass the narrows and enter New York harbor, coming to
+anchor near Governor’s Island at 12 o’clock M.
+
+From our anchorage the view was grandly beautiful with the immense
+shipping, Brooklyn on the right, New York to the front, and Jersey City
+on the left. On the left of Governor’s Island Castle William (now used
+as a magazine) stands out in bold relief. To its right is the fort
+which protects the harbor. On September 1st we disembarked and went
+into camp on the island. The men are in fine spirits and delighted with
+the change.
+
+The troubles in the city having subsided we re-embarked aboard the
+Baltic, which, on the 8th day of September, heads towards the sea.
+When passing the narrows the guns of the fort thunder a salute; soon
+Sandy Hook is passed and we are again in the open sea, all happy at
+the prospect of going to the front, the inactivity of camp life with
+nothing to do having become tiresome in the extreme.
+
+On September 10th we came to anchor in Chesapeake Bay, where we
+remained one day, then passed on again to Alexandria, disembarked, and
+went into camp to the south of the town. Two days later and we again
+move forward to Elk creek, where we encamp for the night.
+
+September 16th, marched at 6 A. M., reached the Rappahannock at noon,
+and here rejoined our old brigade, moved forward to Raccoon ford on
+the north side of the Rapidan. General Lee’s forces are massed on the
+opposite shore of the river, and as we came up our ears were greeted
+with the pleasing sound of rapid musketry firing proceeding from the
+pickets of the two armies. During the afternoon we witnessed the
+execution of two deserters from the Seventy-eighth New York.
+
+During the last of September we learned of the defeat of the Western
+army at Chickamauga, and the Twelfth corps was at once transferred
+to the Department of the West, and without delay proceeded by rail
+to Washington, and thence via Wheeling, Columbus, Indianapolis,
+Nashville, to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where we arrived October 5th.
+
+After a few days’ rest the regiment again resume the march, passing
+Duck river, Bell Buckle, and Wartrace, when the Seventh Ohio halted,
+while the Twenty-ninth moved on to Normandy, on the Nashville &
+Chattanooga railroad. Here it remained in camp, with the usual routine
+of camp and picket duty until late in October, when the regiment and
+brigade broke camp, took the cars for Bridgeport, Alabama, where it
+arrived on the 27th, disembarked, and camped for the night. On the
+morning of October 28th the Twenty-ninth regiment crossed the Tennessee
+river with the wagon train. Halting at Shellmound for dinner, marched
+until late in the evening, and halted near White Sides, where all
+camped for the night. About 11 o’clock P. M. artillery firing, with
+heavy volleys of musketry, was heard in the direction of Chattanooga,
+continuing two or three hours.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XI.
+
+Murfreesboro--General Greene--The Mule Brigade--Congratulatory.
+
+
+While at Murfreesboro scouts reported that Wheeler’s cavalry was in
+the vicinity, and the Second division (Geary’s) was pushed forward to
+meet it, the First division remaining to guard the post and railway
+communication. Geary moved forward in the direction of Bridgeport,
+encountering Wheeler’s force near the line of the railway. A brief but
+sharp skirmish ensued, which resulted in the repulse and hasty retreat
+of the rebels. We then advanced without delay to Bridgeport. October
+27th the Second division, Geary commanding, with Creighton and Greene
+in command of the First and Second brigades, crossed the Tennessee, the
+object to open communication on the south side of the river by way of
+Wauhatchie valley and Lookout mountain for the relief of General Thomas
+at Chattanooga.
+
+Brigadier-general Greene, with three regiments of infantry and four
+pieces of Knapp’s battery, numbering about fifteen hundred men, with
+a wagon train of provisions, was sent to the relief of the famishing
+army at Chattanooga, the balance of our command following as fast as
+practicable with the immense supply train in charge. After we had
+encamped for the night the signal corps of General Greene informed
+us that his command had encamped at Wauhatchie, within six miles of
+Chattanooga. The knoll occupied by them derived its name from an Indian
+battle fought there years before. It is situated in the valley not far
+from the base of Lookout mountain. Knapp’s guns were placed in position
+facing Lookout, and pickets stationed perhaps fifty yards to the front.
+
+About midnight General Hood’s division came down from the heights of
+Lookout and quietly surrounded General Greene’s small force, and at
+once commenced an attack. Greene’s men, aroused from their slumber,
+hastily formed line under a most deadly fire from all sides, and one
+of the most desperate struggles on record ensued. We were awakened by
+the sound of the distant combat, and forming into line hastily advanced
+to their rescue. When we arrived Hood’s rebels had been routed and
+were flying in all directions, intent only on reaching their mountain
+stronghold. There was a regular stampede of the mules, which had broken
+loose and were braying furiously. This, with loud shouts from our men,
+must have induced a belief in the valorous rebel horde that a large
+force of cavalry was charging down upon them, and their fears and
+flight was indeed a grand burlesque finale to a terrible tragedy.
+
+General Greene had lost one-third of his force, killed and wounded,
+his ammunition was exhausted, and ordering the mules cut loose, he
+made a desperate bayonet charge to cut his way to freedom. The mules
+providentially moved in the same direction, mingling the thunder of
+their tread and their awful voices with the shouts of Greene’s men, and
+our own, to let them know that assistance was coming. The effect was to
+throw Hood’s rebel army into a wild panic and put them to rout. Three
+hundred prisoners and about one thousand stand of arms were captured.
+Every man of Knapp’s battery, save one only, was either killed or
+wounded. Among the former was Lieutenant Geary, son of General John W.
+Geary. The ground was covered with the dead and injured of both the
+blue and the gray.
+
+While assisting the wounded and burying the dead, Generals Grant,
+Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective staffs, arrived from
+Chattanooga. The former coolly remarked as he surveyed the bloody
+scene: “Well, boys, you must have had a hot time of it, judging from
+appearances.” There was silence among the men, who knew that an army
+was cosily reposing but four miles away, which could easily have
+averted the terrible bloodshed, but were so completely disheartened
+by the defeat at Chickamauga that they dare not venture from their
+stronghold to the relief of gallant “Corporal” Greene, who happily
+turned defeat into a heroic victory.
+
+The following lines, composed by one of our command, fully relates the
+grand finale and
+
+
+CHARGE OF THE MULE BRIGADE.
+
+  Half a mile, half a mile,
+  Half a mile onward,
+  Right towards the Georgia troops
+    Broke the two hundred.
+  “Forward the Mule Brigade,
+  Charge for the rebs!” they neighed;
+  Straight for the Georgia troops
+    Broke the two hundred.
+
+  “Forward the Mule Brigade!”
+  Was there a mule dismayed?
+  Not when the long ears felt
+    All their ropes sundered.
+  Theirs not to make reply;
+  Theirs not to reason why;
+  Theirs but to make them fly;
+  On to the Georgia troops
+    Broke the two hundred.
+
+  Mules to the right of them,
+  Mules to the left of them,
+  Mules behind them
+    Pawed, neighed, and thundered.
+  Breaking their own confines,
+  Breaking through Longstreet’s lines,
+  Into the Georgia troops
+    Stormed the two hundred.
+
+  Wild all their eyes did glare,
+  Whisked all their tails in air,
+  Scatt’ring the chivalry there,
+    While all the world wondered.
+  Not a mule’s back bestraddled,
+  Yet how they all skedaddled;
+  Fled every Georgian
+  Unsabred, unsaddled,
+  Scattered and sundered.
+  How they were routed there
+    By the two hundred.
+
+  Mules to the right of them,
+  Mules to the left of them.
+  Mules behind them
+    Pawed, neighed, and thundered;
+  Followed by hoof and head
+  Full many a hero fled,
+  Fain in the last ditch dead;
+  Back from an “ass’s jaw,”
+  All that was left of them--
+    Left by the two hundred.
+
+  When can their glory fade?
+  Oh! the wild charge they made!
+    All the world wondered.
+  Honor the charge they made,
+  Honor the Mule Brigade--
+    Long-eared two hundred.
+
+Major-general George H. Thomas issued an order complimenting the column
+under Major-general Hooker, which took possession of the line from
+Bridgeport to the foot of Lookout Mountain, for their brilliant success
+in driving the enemy from every position which they attacked. The
+repulse by General Geary’s command of the greatly superior numbers who
+attempted to surprise him, will rank among the most distinguished feats
+of arms of the war.
+
+We moved forward the next evening, and threw up a line of works on the
+site of this night attack.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XII.
+
+Lookout Mountain--The Battle--The Regiment Re-enlist.
+
+
+The line of General Geary’s division now extends along the foot of
+Lookout mountain, parallel with the rebel line, and only separated from
+it by the creek along its base. For nearly ten days the commissary
+stores intended for us have been largely forwarded to Chattanooga,
+leaving us with scarcely anything to eat. When on the skirmish line
+we often sent our reserves around to the right of the mountain to
+secure corn from a field in that location, held by the rebels, and
+quite lively little fights would result. Our boys always returned with
+corn, however, which we parched to allay in part the bitter pangs of
+hunger. As with everything earthly our long fast ended, rations came,
+and life began to seem almost worth living, exchanges of coffee and
+tobacco were almost hourly made between the Union and rebel soldiers,
+each forgetting for the time the hate engendered over the fight for
+corn. Our main line was being strongly fortified, the rebels meanwhile
+keeping up an almost continuous bombardment of our line from their
+batteries on the heights of Lookout. Strong details were employed in
+cutting away the forest on our front to enable our artillery to cover
+an hourly expected attack. The situation remained the same until
+November 23d, when, toward night, the beat of the “long roll” called
+Geary’s division to arms. It at once moved promptly forward, formed
+line of battle, facing Lookout heights, and advanced to its base along
+the creek. Osterhaus’ division of the Fifteenth corps, and Whittaker’s
+brigade, of the Fourth corps, now advanced to the left of Geary’s
+division. The rebels soon discovered this movement and promptly moved
+a strong force down the mountain side within easy musket range, where
+they strongly fortified during the night.
+
+The morning of November 24th opened out a simultaneous discharge of
+our entire artillery, which was parked along the mountain’s point, the
+infantry on our left advancing to the base of the mountain. The First
+brigade, led by Colonel Creighton, and followed by the Second and
+Third brigades, moved rapidly up the creek to the right under cover
+of the woods, then debouching to the left. The First brigade took
+the advance and began the ascent of Lookout heights, being favored
+by a friendly ravine extending toward the crest of the mountain. The
+brigade had advanced perhaps two-thirds of the distance before the
+enemy discovered its movements, and now the men renew their efforts,
+driving the enemy before them despite the terrible fire poured into
+our advance, and after a desperate struggle reach the rocky crest and
+disappear in a thick mist (referred to by most writers, we believe,
+as clouds, and which gave this engagement the title of the “battle
+above the clouds”). The line of the whole division is extended, and in
+a moment sweeps down in an impetuous charge on both the rebel flank
+and rear. Their batteries are reached, the cannoniers beaten back,
+and the guns captured. Onward, upward, with loud cheers our columns
+rush to victory, carrying everything before them. A whole brigade is
+captured, and Lookout mountain, since famous in song and story, is
+ours. This victory was won by Geary’s men, assisted only by Whittaker’s
+brigade acting as support. The troops below now came gallantly(?) up
+the mountain to claim, as usual, the honors won, as the voluminous
+reports subsequently written by their generals amply attest. Geary
+and his brigade commanders had no reports to make save that their
+division stormed the heights and carried them, capturing the enemy’s
+artillery and the entire rebel force occupying the main defenses of the
+mountain. Some time after the capture the standard of the “white star”
+division was planted on the crest and the stars and stripes was soon
+waving beside it. No danger was incurred by this, as none of the enemy
+remained except the prisoners, yet it has been written and rewritten as
+if it were an event of some importance.
+
+“The morning of November 25th revealed the white star standard of Geary
+and the glorious old stars and stripes to the army below, floating
+triumphantly side by side on Lookout’s rocky crest. Prolonged huzzas
+greeted the victors from below, and to confirm that ‘to the victors
+belong the spoils,’ a detachment from two regiments of Geary’s command
+take charge of the prisoners, seven stand of colors, and a great number
+of cannon captured.”
+
+The rebels had burned the bridge across Lookout creek, which delayed
+our further advance a short time. A bridge was soon improvised,
+however, and a crossing was effected. The command moved on to
+Rossville, where it engaged Braggs’ left, while General Thomas,
+advancing from Chattanooga valley, moved up Missionary ridge, striking
+Bragg a crushing blow in the center, and Pap Sherman was making it warm
+for his right flank. About 2 o’clock P. M. the firing became general
+along the entire line, which continued until late in the afternoon,
+when the rebels were driven from the field with great loss. The Union
+army advanced a short distance and bivouacked for the night.
+
+November 26, we moved on after the retreating army, and at a small
+creek near Greysville, Georgia, had a skirmish, driving the enemy as
+far as Ringgold and Taylor’s ridge, where they were in position behind
+breastwork in the narrow pass extending through the ridge in the
+direction of Dalton.
+
+27th. Geary’s division made a gallant charge upon the rebel works.
+The First brigade, commanded by Colonel William R. Creighton, made a
+direct assault on Taylor’s ridge, while the Second and Third brigades
+engaged the rebels in the narrow defile. After a terrible struggle
+the Nationals were forced back a short distance. A battery was moved
+forward and placed in position, which opened with double shotted guns
+upon the enemy, soon driving them precipitately to the rear, leaving
+the Nationals in possession of the field. In this engagement the Union
+loss was quite heavy.
+
+On the 28th the army moved back, Geary’s division reaching Wauhatchie
+valley on the 29th. Resting a few days, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio
+regiment broke camp and on December 3d moved across Lookout creek,
+marched about two miles west of Summerville, on Lookout mountain,
+where it camped for the night. Returned to its old camp at Wauhatchie,
+Tennessee, on the 5th day of December, and the campaign of 1863 ended.
+
+At Wauhatchie, on the 10th day of December, 1863, the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio, though now reduced to less than three hundred effective men for
+duty, almost to a man re-enlisted for three years more, should the
+war so long continue, and were given a thirty-days’ furlough home
+for the purpose of recruiting. The headquarters of the regiment was
+established at Cleveland, Ohio. It remained here some two months. At
+last the decimated ranks were filled and, on the morning of February
+8, 1864, the regiment bade a second good bye to friends, and amidst
+their prayers for success and a safe return departed for the front,
+determined to die for the flag if necessary, and, after a tedious ride
+of many weary miles arrived at Bridgeport, Alabama, via Louisville,
+Nashville, and Murfreesboro, where it went into winter quarters and
+remained until the opening of the spring campaign of 1864.

+
+CHAPTER XIII.
+
+Shelmound--Wauhatchie Valley--Ringgold--Battle of Dug or Mill Creek Gap
+or Buzzard’s Roost--On the Move.
+
+
+On the morning of May 3, 1864, at 10 o’clock, we broke camp, crossed
+the Tennessee river, and moved eastward along its south bank to
+Shelmound, where we encamped for the night. On the following day the
+march was resumed, the column halting for dinner in Wauhatchie valley.
+Crossing Lookout Creek and mountain, we encamped for the night on its
+east side and two miles distant from Chattanooga. The column resumed
+its line of march at 7 A. M., on the 5th. Moving cautiously during the
+day, in the advance, it halted for the night a short distance west
+of Ringgold, Georgia. At daybreak on the following morning we moved
+forward, and about 9 o’clock formed line of battle, remaining here
+during the day and subsequent night. The beat of the “long roll” on the
+following morning called us to arms, and we immediately advanced in
+line of battle. When near Gordon’s Springs General Kilpatrick passed
+to our right with his command. Our column came to a halt for the night
+near Tunnel hill.
+
+At about 11 A. M., on May 8th, we pushed forward in order of columns
+right in front, and at 3 o’clock arrived in front of John’s Mountain at
+Rocky Face Ridge, on the summit of which the enemy were entrenched in
+force. The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+of the First brigade, Colonel Candy commanding, with three regiments
+of Buschbeck’s Second brigade, formed in line, the latter on the
+right, and in this order at once moved forward to storm the ridge.
+The position of the Twenty-ninth regiment in the assaulting column
+was on the extreme left, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania next on its
+right, connecting with the Second brigade. Our instructions were to
+make a strong demonstration, and to carry, if possible, the rebel
+position. While advancing to the assault, the brass bands in our
+rear indiscreetly commenced playing National airs, which attracted
+the attention of the rebel commander, who rapidly concentrated
+reinforcements in our front. The advance up the declivity was nearly
+as difficult as Lookout Mountain, and more completely fortified. Its
+summit was steep, precipitous, and covered with scraggy rocks and
+immense boulders. From our position we commanded a fine view of Dug
+Gap, a narrow, artificial cut through the rocky summit, connecting with
+a road extending almost parallel with the ridge to the gap beyond,
+and by a zigzag course reaching the mountain’s base. The rebels had
+so completely fortified themselves that it was next to impossible for
+our assaulting force to get nearer than their base. As we approached
+the rebel line, a regiment was moved by left flank across our front.
+At this moment the rebel line opened a fire so deadly in effect that
+the regiment in our front became disordered and broke through our
+ranks to the rear, causing a momentary confusion in the ranks of the
+Twenty-ninth regiment. At this moment the order was given to advance,
+which was executed with a rush despite the deadly volleys that were
+cutting through our ranks. Up! up! we go to death or victory! and
+commenced to scale the obstructions close to their works; and now a
+storm of deadly missiles are hurled against us. Rocks, boulders, and
+even cart-wheels come crashing down upon us. Yet we moved steadily in
+the deadly advance until ordered back by our officers, when we retired
+a few paces to reform our line, the fallen trees only separating us
+from the enemy.
+
+Here we made a determined and bloody fight, but having no support to
+cover our flank we were subjected to a deadly cross-fire from the
+left, yet the regiment stubbornly stood its ground, returning shot for
+shot until its ammunition was exhausted. More was secured from the
+cartridge-boxes of the dead and wounded, and with this we fought on,
+determined to hold the position until reinforcements should reach us.
+Just before dusk an order came from the commanding general for the
+Twenty-ninth regiment to retire, all the other regiments having done
+so some time previous. To cover our retreat a line of skirmishers was
+thrown out, composed of men from each company who volunteered for this
+dangerous duty, and right nobly did they perform this work, firing with
+deadly precision as they retired from the field into the valley below,
+where the Twenty-ninth were already in bivouac, and comrades cheered
+lustily as the skirmishers came in, happy to know they had not met the
+fate of others.
+
+John Davis, of company B, a Scotchman by birth and one of the best
+shots in the regiment, fired the last shot in this day’s action, and
+was the last to leave the field.
+
+The Twenty-ninth regiment in this fight distinguished itself by brave
+conduct, though at last compelled to retire from lack of support. Our
+losses in killed and wounded was more than double that of any other
+regiment engaged: Killed, 26; wounded, 67; captured 1; total 94.
+
+General Geary highly complimented the regiment for its gallantry,
+remarking that he never saw men advance under such murderous fire,
+especially when unsupported and where the chances of success were so
+desperate. The Twenty-ninth regiment lost nearly one-third its numbers
+during this three hours’ engagement, and many were the individual
+acts of heroism displayed, which it would give the writer pleasure to
+record. As but few are now remembered, the remainder would suffer an
+injustice were these given. It is, however, but simple justice to state
+that the regiment fully sustained its previous reputation as a fighting
+organization, each individual doing his full share in the terrible
+work. Subsequent events proved that this assault was made to draw the
+enemy to this point, thus giving McPherson’s corps and Kilpatrick’s
+cavalry an opportunity to possess Snake Creek Gap, a desirable
+situation several miles in our right rear, opening a flank movement
+directly on the enemy’s rear.
+
+On May 9th we encamp at Mill Creek, near Johns Mountain, where we
+remain until 12 o’clock, midnight. We then move to the right and throw
+up earthworks. May 10th we are still at work. We receive the news
+of General Grant’s victory over General Lee at the Wilderness, near
+Chancellorsville, Virginia, where our regiment received such a baptism
+of blood a little more than a year since. Alas! how many of our brave
+boys have gone down to death since then.
+
+May 11th. Still in the same position, hourly expecting orders to move;
+quartermasters remove all extra baggage to the rear; all men unable
+for active service sent to hospital, and everything possible put into
+perfect fighting order, and by the way it’s ever so much nicer penning
+these lines here in our cosy room in the far away Western Reserve of
+the Buckeye State than was the actual experience in Secessia during
+those early May days of 1864.
+
+On the 12th instant we moved forward to Snake Creek Gap, forming a
+junction with the Fifteenth and Sixteenth corps (McPherson’s), where we
+remained during the night. At 2 o’clock P. M. on the following day we
+advanced toward Resaca, fully occupying Snake Creek Gap. Our cavalry
+are sharply engaged with the enemy. Here brave General Kilpatrick is
+wounded. At 4 o’clock P. M. the battle is still raging fiercely, and the
+enemy are being slowly driven back. At last a hill is captured which
+covers the entire rebel line. Here we fortify and rest for the night.
+
+May 14th a severe engagement opens near Resaca; we advance by a
+circuitous route to the left; the Fourteenth corps is engaged; during
+the afternoon we joined our Twentieth corps and moving rapidly to
+the left; succeeded in rescuing a portion of the Fourth corps from
+disaster and defeat, and one of its batteries from certain capture,
+the infantry support having been driven back, leaving the battery at
+the mercy of the rebels. Robinson’s brigade, of Williams’ division,
+Twentieth corps, who were in the advance, fortunately reached the
+scene of action in time to prevent the capture of another battery by
+making a counter-charge on the advancing rebel legions. We came up soon
+after this support, which soon ended in the complete repulse of the
+rebels, driving them beyond their fortifications. The Twentieth army
+corps received the compliments of the commanding general, Hooker, for
+their gallant work, which resulted in a loss to the enemy of some four
+hundred men killed and wounded.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XIV.
+
+Battle of Resaca, Georgia--In Pursuit of the Fleeing Chivalry (?)
+
+
+At an early hour on the morning of May 15th sharp skirmishing opened
+along our entire front. General Geary’s Second division moved a short
+distance to the left and halted for orders. About 11 o’clock Generals
+Sherman, Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective staffs, reached the
+battlefield and immediately held a council of war. General Hooker is
+requested to assume command of selected troops to take the offensive,
+and is asked how large a force he required to capture a certain fort
+directly in our front, known to be the enemy’s stronghold and the key
+to his position. Hooker astonished his superiors by replying: “Geary’s
+division can, I think, carry that position if it can be done by
+anyone.” As this conversation was heard by our men we were prepared for
+what was to follow.
+
+As soon as General Geary had received his instructions, the Second
+division moved to the attack in the following orders: Second and Third
+brigades in the advance, with the First brigade closely massed in their
+rear, the latter advancing closely in support of the attacking column.
+Our advance was met with obstinate resistance, yet we steadily pushed
+forward, driving the enemy back and gaining possession of three lines
+of hills in rapid succession, the last of which was in close proximity
+to the rebel fort, only a narrow ravine intervening. The enemy are
+strongly entrenched in earthworks extending in the rear of the fort.
+The First brigade commenced a rapid firing at short range to cover the
+sortie being made by regiments of the Second and Third brigades. These
+regiments rush gallantly forward to the assault. They are repulsed
+but quickly reform, and, with other regiments sent to their support,
+they again pass forward. The fort was captured and lost three times
+in succession, but at last the rebels are forced to flee before our
+furious charge. Leaving the guns they join the main line.
+
+The Union forces prevented the rebels from again occupying the fort
+until dark, when detachments from the Twenty-ninth and other Ohio
+regiments of the First brigade were sent to open a trench through the
+earthworks of the fort through which to move the guns into the ravine
+below. The rebels discovering this charged down upon us to recapture
+the guns. Expecting such an attack the First brigade had moved forward
+into the ravine, and now waited the coming of the rebels. When close
+upon them a signal was given, which was followed by a sheet of flame
+along our whole line, dealing terrible destruction into the rebel
+ranks, immediately followed by a determined bayonet charge, which threw
+their lines into disorder and they fled panic-stricken over their
+fortifications, closely pursued by our command, whose loud huzzas sent
+Johnston’s army in rapid retreat, abandoned all its cannon, hospital,
+and commissary stores, and with their usual savagery leaving their own
+dead and wounded upon the field. We also captured many prisoners.
+
+This success was a grand victory for the “white star” division of
+the Twentieth corps, yet not unattended with losses, which were,
+however, light in comparison with those of the enemy. In fact, in the
+night attack we had so thoroughly surprised the enemy that but feeble
+resistance was made.
+
+At an early hour on the morning of May 16th we pushed rapidly forward
+in pursuit of the retreating rebels. At 9 o’clock A. M. we came into
+line on the bank of the Coosa river, near the railroad bridge, which
+our cavalry had prevented the rebels from burning, though they had made
+repeated efforts to do so. The enemy’s flight was so rapid that he had
+not even time to seriously impair the railroad track. Our locomotives,
+with trains of supplies, soon came in sight. We now advanced across the
+river and encamped for the night.
+
+At 12 M. on May 17th, the general forward movement of our army was
+resumed. The Twenty-ninth regiment was the advance guard of its
+division, and assisted in driving the rebels from the little village
+of Calhoun, where we halt for the night. At 5 o’clock on the following
+morning we again moved forward in the direction of Rome, Georgia. At
+Rome cross-roads the rebels were met and promptly engaged by the Fourth
+corps; a lively fight ensued, resulting in slight losses on both sides.
+The enemy retreated, and we continued the pursuit until 9 o’clock P. M.,
+when we encamped for the night.
+
+On the next morning at early dawn we pushed forward, continuing until
+3 o’clock P. M., when we halt and form line near Kingston, Georgia.
+The whole force of the enemy are immediately on our front, and the
+Fourth corps promptly open fire upon them, which resulted in a further
+movement of the chivalry to the rear.
+
+We remain here until the morning of May 23d when we move about daylight
+via Cassville and Cass station to the Etowah river, which is crossed on
+pontoons, and a halt for the night made on its opposite bank. The next
+morning we resume the weary march, coming into line of battle at about
+9 A. M. We advanced in this order up the Raccoon hills, or Allatoona
+range, until night, when we encamp at Burnt Hickory. The First brigade,
+as advance guard, moved ahead at daybreak, via the Burnt Hickory road.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XV.
+
+Pumpkin Vine Creek--Dallas, or New Hope Church--Slight
+Unpleasantness--Personal.
+
+
+At Pumpkin Vine creek we discover the enemy and drive back his
+skirmishers, who are stationed on its opposite bank, recovering the
+bridge, which we cross and throw out skirmishers on the opposite side.
+While this was being accomplished, General Hooker and Staff, with a
+small body guard, pushed ahead to reconnoiter. He had not advanced far,
+however, when he was attacked by a force of rebel sharp shooters. He
+now came tearing back into our lines shouting to General Geary to move
+his First brigade into position to hold the enemy in check until the
+Second and Third brigades should come up, they being some four miles
+in our rear. We quickly formed line by columns to the right and left,
+the Twenty-ninth Ohio occupying position on the extreme left, Knapp’s
+battery taking position immediately in our rear, to cover the bridge in
+case we were forced to retire before reinforcements should reach us. As
+the left company of the Twenty-ninth were completing the battle-line a
+rebel column was found marching in close proximity to our flank.
+
+Ten paces to the front the skirmishers were hotly engaged, but our
+flank was uncovered. We immediately face to the left and prepare to
+fire, but are prevented by instructions not to draw on a general
+engagement but to hold the position at all hazards. The rebel column on
+our flank, however, slowly retired without firing a gun, and forming
+on their main line, which was massed in the woods a short distance
+to our front. During this time we hastily changed front in form of a
+semi-circle to protect us from flank attack. This movement was executed
+none too soon, as the enemy came immediately to the attack, and a
+sharp engagement opened all along the line, which was a hot one, yet
+it gallantly held its own until the balance of its division came up.
+Forming in column with us, we advance on the rebel line and drive them
+slowly back.
+
+The battle now became fierce and our assaults were heroically met.
+Generals Hooker and Geary were present and ordered the attack, the
+plan of which was to advance lines and fire, to be followed by bayonet
+charges, by which the enemy was steadily driven back. Our front line
+was frequently relieved by columns from the rear, thus keeping fresh
+men at the front. Geary’s division alone had driven Hood’s rebel corps
+back to the forks of the road at New Hope church, when Butterfield’s
+Third division arrived and took position on our left. Soon after,
+Williams came up with the First division and passed to the front, which
+allowed the Second division to drop in the reserve long enough to clean
+our firearms and replenish cartridge-boxes, when we again advance in
+support of the First and Third divisions.
+
+Just as the sun disappeared in the western horizon, General Geary
+ordered the First brigade to charge the enemy. This movement was
+executed on the double-quick, and as our columns passed in perfect
+alignment to the front, Butterfield’s and Williams’ commands greeted
+us with hearty cheers of genuine admiration. Onward the column rushes,
+and closing with the enemy delivers a terrible volley. The charge is
+continued, the air resounding with defiant cheers as the enemy is
+driven from the field and down a hill at a brisk run. It was now
+beginning to grow dark, and the impetuous rush of the men soon brought
+them within a short distance of a line of brush-covered work which
+concealed the enemy’s batteries, who at once opened a terrific and
+deadly fire of grape and canister into our ranks. Instantly falling
+on the ground, we deliver so destructive a fire on their cannoniers
+that their guns are soon silenced. Our left being without support, an
+attempt to carry their works was extremely hazardous. The regiment on
+our right had already retired some distance to our right rear, making
+the situation of the Twenty-ninth regiment one of great danger, but
+owing to the darkness we knew nothing of it until an officer of Geary’s
+staff came forward with an order to fall back, when we retired to a
+position some forty paces from the rebel line.
+
+The enemy had now ceased firing, and perfect silence reigned, only
+broken by the groans of the wounded and dying. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment had suffered severe loss, and only the favorable depression in
+its front saved it from annihilation. W. F. Stevens, captain of company
+B, was wounded in this action.
+
+The Fifth Ohio, on our right on higher ground, suffered fearfully from
+the masked batteries, one company being almost entirely decimated. This
+caused the regiment to retire to the knoll. Colonel Patrick, a most
+gallant officer of the Fifth, was killed, also seventy-five of his men
+killed and wounded. The loss of the Twenty-ninth Ohio in this charge
+was forty killed and wounded, shot down in almost the short space of
+time required to record it.
+
+It was not long before we heard tremendous cheering in the distance on
+our right front, which was caused by Sherman moving a force in that
+direction, turning the rebel flank, which was soon in full retreat.
+Immediately after, sounds were heard in the supposed deserted rebel
+works, which we believed were our own men who had recently occupied
+them, and by reason of this supposed safety our whole command was soon
+in slumber deep and heavy from exhaustion of the day’s labor.
+
+At early dawn on May 26th the enemy discovered our close proximity,
+and at once opened upon us with artillery, and at about the same time
+advanced its infantry to attack us in our rear. This movement was
+discovered, however, in time to prevent its further progress. After
+a hot fight the enemy retired to his fortifications. During the day
+several attempts were made in the same direction, but without effect.
+Near the close of the day we were temporarily relieved and retired to
+a ravine a few yards in our rear, where we received rations, the first
+“square meal” in two days.
+
+At an early hour the following morning (May 27th) our artillery took
+position at the breastworks and opened a furious cannonading, which is
+replied to with spirit by the rebel batteries. During the afternoon the
+enemy made a sortie on our line, a general engagement ensued, and the
+rebels were beaten back. The Twenty-ninth regiment loss was slight, we
+being well protected by rifle pits. The rebel loss in this attack was
+severe, their dead and wounded being thickly strewn in front of our
+works. During this attack General Sherman and staff took position in
+our rear. General Hooker is generally where the bullets fly thickest,
+and his utter disregard of danger has won the love of the “boys,” who
+call him “Uncle Joe,” and who are all, at any time, ready to go through
+fire if he so desires, knowing he will not ask them to go where he
+fears to lead.
+
+The battle continues throughout the following day, with brisk
+infantry firing and heavy cannonading almost incessantly. As night
+again shrouds the bloody field the Twenty-ninth regiment, with the
+exception of company B, which was on the skirmish line, relieved the
+Seventh Ohio, One Hundred and Ninth, and One Hundred and Forty-seventh
+Pennsylvania. The rebels were unusually quiet during the night. Company
+B remained on the skirmish nearly all of the following day and was kept
+hotly engaged. The company’s position was not more than eight rods from
+the rebel outposts, who made it extremely hot for us as we went back
+and forth to the relief of our comrades, and sometimes unsoldierly
+attitudes were assumed to evade their deadly aim. Late in the day
+company B was relieved. Henry Brainard, Spencer Atkin, and Henry Clark
+volunteered to go out and bring in the bodies of Albert Atkin, C. A.
+Davis, and Jerome Phinney, which they did, the enemy opening fire upon
+them with musketry and artillery, the deadly missiles flying thick
+and fast about them. Such was the treatment of the “chivalry” to men
+bravely exposing themselves to give Christian interment to the gallant
+men who had fought their last battle. However, none were injured.
+While performing the last sad rites of burial, the rebels came out
+in a sortie and made furious assaults along our entire line. Our men
+reserved their fire until the enemy were close upon them, when, at a
+given signal, some twenty cannon, double shotted with grape, opened
+fire, which made the earth tremble with their awful thunder, while
+the infantry sent deadly volleys into their ranks. The result of this
+fire was most terrible slaughter to the enemy, who broke and ran
+anywhere to cover, leaving several hundred dead and dying behind, the
+ground between the two lines being literally covered with the rebel
+dead. During the 30th there were several sharp fights, our regiment
+having several men wounded. May 31st the regiment was under fire, as
+usual, the greater part of the day, and at night was engaged in the
+construction of an advanced line of works, under a heavy fire from
+the entire rebel line. Before they were fully completed the rebels
+commenced an attack and we fell back on the main line. General Geary
+being present, exclaimed, “Get back to your command in readiness for
+an engagement.” One ensued, which resulted in driving the enemy back
+with severe loss to them. We now resumed work and finally succeeded in
+completing the line, though continually annoyed by the enemy’s firing.
+
+On the morning of June 1st the regiment resumed its place on the front
+line and was soon furiously engaged, which continued during the fore
+part of the day. At noon the Twentieth corps was relieved by Logan’s
+Fifteenth corps and moved to the left as support to the Fourth corps
+(General Howard). The following morning we moved towards the left and
+at 11 o’clock A. M. formed line and pushed forward in concert with
+Schofield’s Twenty-third corps. We capture two lines of rebel works,
+the enemy falling back. That night we slept on our arms. At dawn on the
+3d we advanced and were soon engaged with the enemy, the skirmishing
+along our whole line being very strong. During the day Sherman
+succeeded in turning the rebel right, causing him to retire with severe
+loss. Twenty-ninth loss: Killed, six; wounded, twenty-four; captured,
+one; total thirty-one. This is the tenth day we have been under fire.
+4th.--Firing during all of last night. All quiet to-day.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XVI.
+
+Advance to Pine Knob--Battle at that Place--A Forward Movement.
+
+
+At 5 o’clock on the morning of June 6th, the army pushed forward after
+the retreating enemy. When about two miles from Ackworth Station
+he makes a stand, and we wheel into line, the Twenty-ninth acting
+as skirmishers while the other troops were engaged in preparing
+rifle-pits. The Fourteenth corps now came up, forming on our left,
+and General Howard’s Fourth corps on our right. The position remained
+the same until June 10th, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio is sent forward
+on a reconnoissance. A large force of rebels are found to be strongly
+entrenched on Pine mountain. At dark the regiment returned to the main
+line, where the situation remains unchanged until June 14th, when our
+entire force move forward. The Twentieth, with the Fourth corps on
+its left, take position immediately in front of the rebel army, on
+Pine mountain. At evening the Twenty-ninth was again advanced to the
+skirmish line, and was engaged, as was our artillery, throughout the
+greater part of the night. On the following day, June 15th, occurs the
+battle of Pine Knob, Georgia.
+
+At early dawn our regiment pushed forward as the advance of a general
+flank movement on Pine mountain, which resulted in its capture without
+severe fighting. The Twentieth corps was changed from the front to
+the right. Moving rapidly in that direction it soon reached another
+strongly entrenched position of the enemy, when the column made a
+left half wheel, which brought the first brigade of Geary’s division
+directly in front of Pine Knob.
+
+This position of the enemy was found to be strongly fortified. Twenty
+embrazures, from which as many cannon bristled, covered all the
+approaches to it. General Hooker ordered General Geary to send two
+regiments in a sortie against the rebel position, and the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments, the latter on our left,
+were at once forwarded to the assault. General Hooker, mounted on his
+famous gray charger, advanced with us, immediately in rear of our line.
+The general’s presence greatly encouraged the men in this desperate
+undertaking.
+
+On the hill were the twenty cannon, which we knew would soon belch
+forth destruction to our ranks. The two regiments silently but rapidly
+cross a ravine where they encounter two rebel regiments. These proved
+to be the First and Twenty-ninth Georgia. We opened fire briskly and
+charging upon them soon drove them in disorder to the rear.
+
+We pursued them so hotly that our standard-bearer was at one time
+within a few paces of the rebel Twenty-ninth Georgia colors, which we
+were making desperate efforts to capture. The rebel color-bearer was
+shot, but their flag was grasped again by another rebel who escaped
+with it into their fortification. But the regiment to which he belonged
+was nearly annihilated before it succeeded in regaining its main line.
+Our regiment had rushed upon them forcing them back step by step until
+they were under cover, and we had succeeded in killing, wounding,
+and taking prisoners all except the little handful who escaped with
+the flag. At the moment of their escape we made a dash to carry
+their fortifications, but were checked by abattis and a deep trench
+hidden by brush. At this point their artillery opened with murderous
+discharges of grape and canister, which produced terrible destruction
+in our ranks. Still the line stands firm. Another instant and our men
+are laying flat upon the ground and the deadly missiles go hissing
+harmlessly through the air over our heads. We now open a fire upon
+their cannoniers, so deadly in its character that the guns are soon
+silenced.
+
+Night was fast coming on when our line was ordered to fall back to a
+more secure position. The men now engage in the erection of earthworks
+within a few rods of the rebel fort on the knob, which placed the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio in the extreme front, our flanking regiments assuming
+a circular position on our right and left rear. We were under fire all
+night, the rebel infantry and artillery keeping up an almost continuous
+rattle in their endeavors to drive our men from their labors on the
+fortifications. Despite this, however, we held our position, though
+suffering a constant loss in our ranks.
+
+Just at daybreak on the 16th instant the Sixty-sixth Ohio, of our
+brigade from the reserve, relieved us; we, however, left them well
+protected by the strong earthworks constructed during the night.
+
+The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment went into this action with two hundred
+members, of whom thirty-nine were killed and wounded. Among the
+killed was First Sergeant Joel E. Tanner, one of our bravest men.
+Soon after his death his commission reached us promoting him to a
+captaincy for bravery in action. God help that little wife of his in
+her far away northern home to bear his death bravely as the wife of
+a soldier should, even though all her hopes and bright anticipations
+seem shattered by the blow. Generals Joe Hooker and Geary announced
+in warm terms their admiration of the “gallant manner in which the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments conducted
+themselves in the assault on Pine Knob.” The former remarked that
+taking into consideration the deadly fire we were exposed to, we had
+accomplished that which he never saw so small a force attempt before.
+As he was present in the assault his opinion is of value.
+
+Sharp skirmishing and artillery firing continued along the line during
+the day. At night the Twenty-ninth regiment moved to the front,
+relieving the Sixty-sixth Ohio regiment. It was nearly morning when we
+discovered that the enemy were withdrawing their artillery. We at once
+advanced and possessed the rebel fortifications on the hill with little
+trouble, as the artillery had already withdrawn and the infantry were
+rapidly following. After daylight we pushed forward, only to find the
+enemy in another strong position, which we at once attacked. A rambling
+fire was kept up during the entire day.
+
+During the following day (June 18th) the same state of affairs
+continued, the firing extending along our entire front. At an early
+hour next morning the enemy retreated, and we moved in pursuit, the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment, as usual, in the advance as skirmishers.
+Why, I believe the “boys” would have rebelled had they not been put
+on the skirmish line whenever there was a prospect of somebody being
+killed on our side. Rapidly we gained possession of two lines of hills,
+and soon found the enemy upon a third ridge, strongly fortified. A
+skirmish of two hours’ duration ensues, and we are ordered to fall back
+to the main line, as support to Bundy’s Thirteenth New York battery.
+
+June 20th the Twenty-ninth regiment and its brigade are in line three
+miles southwest of Marietta, Georgia, and skirmished all day with the
+enemy. As night came on our division moved to the right, forming on the
+right of Butterfield’s Third division. Our regiment was again on the
+skirmish line, and in active engagement during the greater part of the
+night. The next morning we formed line of battle near Culp’s farm and
+to the right of Little Kenesaw mountain. At about 11 A. M. our regiment
+was withdrawn from the skirmish line, and at once began throwing up
+rifle-pits parallel with works of Williams’ First division on our right
+and Butterfield’s on our left. The Third brigade of the Second division
+now advanced and engaged the enemy, our single line affording feeble
+protection in the event of an attack on our position.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XVII.
+
+Battle of Culp’s Farm or Kenesaw Mountain--The Glorious Fourth--Advance
+to the Chattahoochie.
+
+
+June 22d we move to the front, and occupy a ridge on Culp’s farm, which
+covers the level on our front. We had been but a short time in this
+position when the rebel General Hood’s corps was moved directly on our
+front, and immediately advanced in furious attack upon the divisions of
+Generals Geary and Williams. Our artillery was at once turned upon the
+advancing rebel columns, which, with the terrific volleys our infantry
+poured into their ranks, produced a sudden check to their further
+advance, and in less than one hour these two divisions succeeded in
+beating back and putting to total rout Hood’s entire command, which
+suffered great loss, while ours was but slight. The enemy left on the
+field 2,100 killed, wounded, and prisoners, besides many wounded,
+removed from the field. The estimated rebel loss was 3,000 men. Eight
+hundred of the rebel dead were buried on the field.
+
+At the close of this action a body of our skirmishers were deployed
+over the field, finding the enemy’s dead and wounded scattered thickly
+about. In places they lay stretched across each other, literally heaped
+up, bloody, terrible--dead. Our skirmishers advanced rapidly, and
+were soon engaged with the enemy’s rear, but this soon ceased, and we
+established a picket line for the night. We remained on the field until
+noon of the 23d, when we were retired and rejoined the main line.
+
+At about 4 o’clock P. M., one hundred guns opened a simultaneous
+fire on Little Kenesaw mountain. Directly in front of our regiment
+and across the creek, which flows along the base of the mountain, is
+level ground. At this point is situated a block-house and rifle-pits,
+the latter between the house and mountain, and both now held by rebel
+sharpshooters, who were continually picking off our cannoniers. General
+Geary, evidently contemplating an advance of his line, called for
+twenty volunteers from the Twenty-ninth regiment to dislodge these
+troublesome occupants of the block-house and rifle-pits. In response to
+this call two men from each company came quickly forward, and at once
+advanced across the creek and ravine. The rebels soon discovered the
+detachment; and opened fire upon it. Sergeant Griswold, of Company B,
+in command, rapidly advanced his men up the rise of open ground lying
+between him and the enemy, and with a rush amidst a perfect storm of
+bullets, closed on the rifle-pits, capturing all who remained in them.
+
+We now approach the rear of the block-house and demand its surrender.
+The rebel lieutenant in command exclaimed from the window of the house:
+“You d--d yanks, take us if you can!” and immediately opened fire.
+The door of the house is soon battered down, and the rebels attempt
+to cut their way out. Finding themselves covered by nearly a score of
+rifles, aimed by determined men, all, with the exception of the rebel
+lieutenant and one other, threw down their arms and surrendered. The
+rebel officer fired on the captors and lost his life by his rashness.
+We had now a total of twenty-one prisoners. Several others were killed
+or badly wounded. The former were sent at once to the rear, and the
+little force deployed along the road to hold the position until
+reinforcements should arrive. However, they were not furnished, and
+after holding the position some two hours a heavy body of rebels came
+upon us, stealing along under cover of the bushes on the opposite side
+of the road, suddenly arose and fired a volley at us. The speed we made
+across the level field with the rebels in hot pursuit, their bullets
+whistling past our ears in the most energetic manner, would have
+dismayed a professional pedestrian.
+
+June 24th, skirmishing during the day. As night came on a detachment
+of the Twenty-ninth regiment was sent out on picket. Nothing occurred
+during the night, and at dawn we returned to our brigade, where orders
+were received to hold ourselves in readiness to move on notice,
+cannonading and skirmish fighting being kept up along the line.
+
+The situation remained unchanged until June 27th. At an early hour
+this morning two men from each company of our regiment volunteered to
+advance to the relief of the Pennsylvania regiment on the outposts,
+and about 9 o’clock A. M. we moved forward. We were also to dislodge
+the rebel sharpshooters, who had been allowed to again possess the
+block-house and rifle-pits. Crossing the creek and ravine we made a
+quick dash toward the locality mentioned, amid a hot cross-fire from
+rebels along the fence before referred to. But as we close the rebels
+abandon the block-house and rifle-pits, yet dispute with the energy of
+desperation, every inch of our advance as they retire. We, however,
+gained possession of the road beyond the house, an important position
+covering the rebel left on Little Kenesaw.
+
+They now opened fire on us from the mountain on our left and front.
+Making a flank movement to the left we came up in rear of some rebel
+rifle-pits, capturing eleven prisoners and holding the position until
+the Fifth Ohio regiment came to our support. That regiment at once
+began to fortify, while we remained on the skirmish line under constant
+fire. The enemy discovered the work of the Fifth and trained their
+batteries from different directions on our position, and also advanced
+infantry, who made repeated attempts to dislodge us. Solid shot and
+shell came crashing through the block-house, the shells bursting
+amongst us in quick succession. Nor were their musketry behind in
+sending their death-dealing missiles upon us.
+
+Knapp’s battery soon came up the hill, and swinging into position,
+unlimbered and opened a rapid cross-fire on Little Kenesaw mountain.
+About this time the Fourteenth, with a portion of the Fourth corps,
+made a desperate assault on the mountain a short distance to our left.
+The engagement now became serious, one shell killing twelve and another
+six of our men. To hold the position we had captured was an arduous
+undertaking, and so severe was the fighting that those of us who had
+advanced early in the morning had fired nearly two hundred rounds. At
+dusk the fighting ceased, and we are recalled to our command.
+
+June 28th.--This morning at sunrise we advance obliquely to the right,
+and, reaching an advanced position, throw up fortifications; rebel
+batteries open fire on us meanwhile. Our lookout, as he sees smoke
+issue from the rebel guns, calls out: “Lay down,” “lay low,” or “look
+out, she’s coming,” etc. Many laughable and other incidents occurred
+during this bombardment, such as attempts to dodge shells, etc. Charles
+Upton, of Company G, while carrying a rail, had it cut in two by a
+shell; he, however, escaped unhurt.
+
+June 29th.--To-day the Fourteenth corps obtained a temporary truce
+under flag, during which they interred their dead. An assault is made
+on this corps during the early part of the night, but is repulsed, and
+we were not again disturbed.
+
+June 30th.--During this afternoon the Twenty-ninth regiment received
+orders to move. About 10 o’clock at night our corps (the Twentieth) was
+relieved by the Fourteenth. We at once marched several miles to the
+right in relief of the Twenty-third corps.
+
+On July 1st our regiment was again engaged. The fighting ceased only
+with daylight. Sharp skirmishing and severe cannonading continued
+during the entire day of the 2d, and at night the Twenty-ninth regiment
+occupied its customary position--on the skirmish line. This time,
+however, it was accompanied by the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania. Just
+before daylight on the morning of July 3d, the enemy were found to be
+retreating, and we at once moved forward to find the works deserted,
+the troops having evacuated. The position, as supposed, was almost
+impregnable to direct assault, being constructed to enfilade an attack
+of infantry.
+
+The army now push forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels, the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania taking the advance
+in the order of heavy skirmishers. We soon came upon Wheeler’s
+rebel cavalry, and engaged his dismounted men so promptly that they
+fell precipitately back to where their horses were picketed. The
+Twenty-ninth succeeded in capturing nearly one hundred of them in their
+hurried efforts to remount. The Second division during the pursuit
+captured nearly nine hundred prisoners. The rebels were steadily
+falling back on the Chattahoochie river. It was late when we halted
+for the night. How sweet the wooing of the drowsy god after such long
+continued fatigue, only those who have been there can imagine, the soft
+side of a rail on such occasions being more luxurious than any patent
+spring contrivance of to-day.
+
+July 4th. On this day, made glorious to all this goodly land by the
+forefathers of both the blue and gray, was celebrated by the issue of
+full rations of hard-tack, s----, bacon, and coffee, and wonderful
+feats of gormandizing ensued. To make the day something of a reminder
+of the Northern anniversary, with its tearing headache of the 5th,
+General “Joe” ordered an issue of liquor to the men, the first of the
+campaign. About 4 o’clock P. M. we broke camp and marched towards the
+left, but soon came to a halt for the night.
+
+At dawn on the following day we pushed forward and took possession of a
+line of works the rebels had only evacuated on our approach. They are
+now crossing Chattahoochie river. The advance is continued until within
+about one and one-half miles of the river, where we encounter a second
+line of rebel works, occupied by the enemy to cover the retreat across
+the river.
+
+July 6th we occupy the position of yesterday. During the forenoon our
+regiment was support of Bundy’s New York battery, engaged in shelling
+the rebels from a fort. About 2 P. M. we returned with the battery to
+the main line, and one hour later moved with our division to the left
+and formed line of battle, in which position we passed the night. On
+the day following we marched to the left and assumed position in line
+between the Fourteenth and Fifteenth corps. Sharp skirmishing was kept
+up nearly all night. This position is maintained by our regiment,
+with daily skirmishing, until the early dawn of July 10th, when the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio is pushed forward on a reconnoissance. We discover
+that the enemy have retreated across the Chattahoochie. On reaching
+the river we deploy as skirmishers along the north bank, the enemy
+being posted along the opposite side. Atlanta lies only nine miles to
+the south of us. The rebel army of General Joe E. Johnston is said to
+be strongly intrenched some four miles south of our position. A small
+number only of rebels remain on the opposite bank of the Chattahoochie.
+The Union and rebel pickets are on good terms, often meeting in the
+middle of the river, where they exchange coffee for tobacco, which,
+by the way, was a very scarce article with us. The Twenty-ninth Ohio
+regiment now musters only one hundred and fifty men for duty. The
+mustering officer tells us that we have lost more men killed and
+wounded in proportion to the number present at the beginning of this
+campaign than any regiment in the Western army.
+
+July 6, we were in support of a battery during the forenoon. During the
+afternoon we moved to the left, camping in a beautiful grove of pines.
+
+7th. Moved forward some three miles, to a ridge commanding a fine view
+of the country.
+
+11th. The rebels have crossed Chattahoochie river. Our pickets are
+posted on its north bank.
+
+17th. Moved forward to the left, crossed the Chattahoochie river at
+Peace ferry about 9 o’clock P. M.
+
+18th. Moved forward some two miles, skirmishing much of the distance.
+
+19th. Advanced to Peach Tree creek, which we crossed, encountering the
+enemy and taking some prisoners.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER XVIII.
+
+Battle of Peach Tree Creek--Some of the “boys” go to Andersonville.
+
+
+On the morning of July 20th, just as old Sol was tinting the east with
+his rosy hue, our army began a general forward movement, the Twentieth
+corps in this advance being on the right centre, the Fourth corps left,
+resting on our right, and Newton’s division (Fourth corps) connecting
+with our left. Slight skirmishing ensued early in the morning, but
+towards noon the enemy retired. The unbroken stillness which followed
+caused us to advance cautiously lest the rebels draw us into an ambush.
+On reaching Peach Tree creek, a narrow, sluggish stream, whose abrupt
+banks, covered with briars and a dense, almost impassable undergrowth,
+would be a fatal barrier to a routed army, especially as the stream
+was without bridges, the entire command came to a halt until crossings
+could be constructed. Previous to the crossing of the main line General
+Geary ordered forward a force in reconnoissance, consisting of the
+Twenty-ninth Ohio, Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, a detachment of the
+Thirty-third New Jersey, and four pieces of Bundy’s New York battery,
+Geary himself following and directing the movement. When once across
+we advanced over several rough sparsely wooded ravines until reaching
+an eminence overlooking a narrow, open valley on our front and left.
+Immediately on our right front was a piece of heavy timber, extending
+also on our rear. The ridge directly in our front was covered with
+a thick undergrowth, affording a fine position for an ambuscade.
+Our force was now brought to a halt. Bundy’s battery was hastily put
+into position on the ridge to cover the valley. The Twenty-ninth Ohio
+assumed position on the right, and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania on
+the left of the battery. D. E. Hurlburt, captain of company K, had
+charge of a detail from the Twenty-ninth and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments
+in the skirmish of the timber, so he states.
+
+The detachment of the Thirty-third New Jersey deployed as skirmishers
+across the valley in our front, General Geary and staff following
+closely in its rear. While they were advancing, we hastily constructed
+a light barricade of fence rails, and Bundy prepared his battery for
+business. We anxiously watched General Geary and the skirmishers as
+they cautiously moved up the ridge.
+
+When within a few yards of the underbrush a large force of rebels
+came from cover, and with wild yells rushed forward. Captain Bundy at
+once opened fire upon them, which threw them into disorder, but did
+not check their advance. As Geary and staff passed over our line his
+chief, Captain Elliott, fell from his horse, shot dead. Geary shouted
+to us, “A general engagement! a general engagement! My brave men hold
+to your position. I will send support to you.” He was answered with
+rousing cheers. When the little remnant of the skirmishing force had
+come in we commenced a rapid fire in connection with Captain Bundy’s
+double-shotted guns, which speedily thinned the advancing columns of
+rebels, but without avail, as the breaks were at once filled with
+fresh troops. As the rebels attempted to close with us our men seemed
+to be endowed with the valor born of desperation, and clubbed them
+back. Forward they came, a dense mass of living fire, and bravely we
+sustained the shock of twenty times our number. The sharp rattle of
+musketry, the loud roar of Bundy’s guns, and the defiant shouts of the
+combatants, in close hand to hand conflict, can never be erased from
+the tablets of memory while life shall last. It was grandly, awfully
+terrible.
+
+A dense smoke settled around the battery and enclosing the extreme left
+of the regiment, hid the position of our right. Suddenly firing begins
+on us from our rear. The cannoniers are disabled and the infantry are
+called upon to work the guns, which were instantly turned to the rear
+upon heavy masses of rebels advancing from the woods on our flank.
+The greater part of our regiment had discovered this movement in
+time to change front to rear, but were instantly forced back by the
+overwhelming numbers of the rebels, and those in charge of the battery
+were instantly surrounded by a powerful mob of yelling fiends. Still
+the double-shotted guns continue to belch forth fire and death, cutting
+great gaps in the ranks of the enemy at each discharge.
+
+At the guns’ front, with muskets clubbed, a hand to hand conflict was
+had, to allow the reloading of the guns. The situation was now most
+desperate. A cordon of the enemy hemmed in the brave band, now reduced
+to but seventy men, whose ammunition was exhausted, and at last they
+were forced to surrender the battery. Henry Rood, of company A, and
+Henry E. Clark, company B, are the only names the writer has been able
+to secure of those captured at this time.
+
+General Geary came up soon after, charged the enemy and recovered the
+battery, which was instantly turned upon the rebels, causing great
+destruction. The prisoners were, however, too far in the rear for
+recapture, and they were conveyed to that loathsome earthly hell,
+Andersonville. What they endured, the cruelties of the studied
+starvation by express order of chivalric Jeff Davis, and the horrible
+atrocities accorded to defenseless prisoners by the Southern opponents
+in this unholy, ungodly conflict, the writer will not attempt to
+describe; language fails in the recital. Loss: Killed, two; wounded,
+seven; captured, five; total fourteen.
+

+CHAPTER XIX.
+
+Siege of Atlanta--The Capitulation--General Sherman’s Report.
+
+
+July 21st, heavy skirmishing on our right. 22d, we moved forward in
+pursuit of the retreating rebels. 23d, we are now strongly intrenched,
+within two miles of Atlanta, Georgia; lively skirmishing much of the
+time. 24th, shelling and picket firing to-day; rebels charged our line
+but were repulsed. 25th, brisk firing all day. 26th, advanced our line
+forty rods. 27th, quiet along the lines. 28th, heavy firing on our
+right; the rebels are repulsed. 29th and 30th, fighting continues.
+
+August 1st to 3d, hot firing all the time. 4th, National Thanksgiving
+Day; fighting on our right; rebels driven back; skirmishing every
+day--all the time; getting monotonous. 25th, left our works and
+fell back to the Chattahoochie river, near Vining station; marched
+all night. 27th, Major-general W. H. Slocum assumed command of the
+Twentieth army corps.
+
+September 4th, moved forward to Atlanta, which we reached about 2
+o’clock P. M.; marched through the city and went into camp about one and
+one-half miles west of the city. 6th, received an order from General
+Sherman that the campaign was ended, and that the troops are to have
+a full month’s rest; that our task was not only done, but well done.
+12th, the citizens of Atlanta were moved south to-day; from this date
+we lay in camp with little to mar our happiness till November 1st,
+when we received orders to send all our baggage to the rear and put
+ourselves in light marching order. November 5th, orders having been
+received for the troops to move, the Twenty-ninth struck tents and
+marched from Atlanta at 3:30 P. M. in the direction of Stone Mountain,
+some three miles, and camped for the night. At 1 o’clock P. M. on the
+following day, the regiment marched back to Atlanta, and again occupied
+its old camp.
+
+During the afternoon of the 1st of September specific orders for the
+withdrawal of Stewart’s rebel _corps de armee_ and the militia were
+issued, and about sunset the latter were withdrawn from the trenches.
+When they were fairly on the road Stewart’s corps followed, all being
+en route by midnight, except the cavalry, a brigade or two of infantry,
+and the pickets. These latter remained until the advance of the
+Twentieth corps neared the city on the morning of the 2d. The explosion
+of ammunition was of course heard at the position of the Twentieth
+corps, and though General Slocum (who it appears was in command of the
+Twentieth corps at the time) had received no intelligence of Sherman’s
+great success at Jonesboro, he was not unprepared to find Hood gone
+any morning, and the explosions convinced him that the withdrawal was
+taking place. He instantly issued orders to his division commanders,
+Generals Ward, Williams, and Geary, to send out each a heavy
+reconnoissance at daybreak on the morning of the 2d.
+
+About 1,000 men were detailed from each division, and at 5 A. M. pushed
+forward on neighboring roads into Atlanta on the north and northwest,
+encountering no opposition. They pushed rapidly forward, and at 8
+o’clock came in sight of the rebel intrenchments, so lately occupied
+with enemies but now silent and deserted.
+
+Advancing rapidly, Colonel Coburn, commanding General Ward’s
+reconnoissance, entered the enemy’s works, encountering in the
+suburbs Mayor Calhoun, of Atlanta, and a deputation of the city
+council. The former nervously presented a paper surrendering the city
+and asking protection. Colonel Coburn refused to receive the paper
+for informality, and directed that another should be drawn up. Mayor
+Calhoun invited several of General Ward’s staff to accompany him
+to the court-house, where the documents should be made _en regle_,
+promising at the same time to expel the drunken rebel stragglers,
+who were lingering in the streets and were disposed to skirmish with
+our advance. He immediately took measures to effect the last, and
+accompanied by the officers whose names are offered in attest, he
+returned to the court-house, and the following document was drawn up:
+
+  “ATLANTA, GEORGIA, }
+  September 2, 1864. }
+
+  “Brigadier-general Ward, Commanding Third Division
+  Twentieth Corps.
+
+ “SIR:--The fortunes of war have placed the city of Atlanta in your
+ hands, and as mayor of the city I ask protection to non-combatants and
+ private property.
+
+  “JAMES M. CALHOUN,
+  Mayor of Atlanta.”
+
+The preliminary formalities thus disposed of, our troops entered
+the city with music and flags, marching promptly and erect. A fine
+flag-staff was found on the Franklin printing house, where the Memphis
+Appeal had been printed. The stars and stripes were soon flung to the
+calm, sunny air amid the cheers of the brave men who had fought for so
+many weary, consuming days to place it there.
+
+General Henry W. Slocum established his headquarters at the Trout
+house, the leading hotel of the city, overlooking the public square.
+In the forts around Atlanta eleven heavy guns, mainly sixty-four
+pounders, were left by the enemy; also about three thousand muskets, in
+good order, stored in various parts of the city, were found; also three
+locomotives in running order, and large quantities of manufactured
+tobacco were discovered. Between one and two hundred stragglers, the
+majority of them very drunk, were fished from their hiding places and
+placed under guard at the court-house.
+
+ GENERAL THOMAS’ CONGRATULATORY ORDER.
+
+  ARMY HEADQUARTERS, July 26, 1864.
+
+ “The major-general commanding the army congratulates the troops upon
+ the brilliant success attending the Union arms in the late battles.
+ In the battle of the 20th instant, in which the Twentieth corps, one
+ division of the Fourth corps, and part of the Fourteenth corps were
+ engaged, the total union loss in killed, wounded, and missing was
+ 1,733. In front of the Twentieth corps there were put out of the fight
+ 6,000 rebels; 563 of the enemy were buried by our own troops, and the
+ rebels were permitted to bury 250. The Second division of the Fourth
+ corps repulsed seven different assaults of the enemy with light loss
+ to themselves, and which must have swelled the number of dead buried
+ by the rebels to beyond 300. We also captured seven stands of colors.
+ No official report has been received of the part taken in the battle
+ by the Fourteenth corps. In the battle of the 22d instant, the total
+ Union loss in killed, wounded, and missing was 3,500, and also 10
+ pieces of artillery. The rebel loss in prisoners captured was 3,200.
+ The known dead of the enemy in front of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth
+ corps and one division of the Seventeenth corps was 2,142. The other
+ divisions of the Seventeenth corps repulsed six assaults of the enemy
+ before they fell back, and which will swell the rebel loss in killed
+ to at least 3,000. The latest reports state that we buried over 3,200
+ rebels killed in this fight. There were captured from the enemy in
+ this battle 18 stands of colors and 5,000 stands of arms.

+  ATLANTA, GEORGIA, SEPT. 8, 1864.        }
+
+ “The officers and soldiers of the armies of the Cumberland, Ohio, and
+ Tennessee have already received the thanks of the Nation through its
+ President and commander in chief, and it remains now only for him
+ who has been with you from the beginning, and who intends to stay
+ all the time, to thank the officers and men for their intelligence,
+ fidelity, and courage displayed in the campaign of Atlanta. On the
+ 1st day of May our armies were lying in garrison, seemingly quiet,
+ from Knoxville to Huntsville, and our enemy lay behind his rocky-faced
+ barrier at Dalton, proud, defiant, and exultant. He had time since
+ Christmas to recover from his discomfiture on the Mission Ridge, with
+ his ranks filled, and a new commander in chief, second to none of the
+ Confederacy in reputation for skill, sagacity, and extreme popularity.
+ All at once our armies assumed life and action and appeared before
+ Dalton. Threatening Rocky Face, we threw ourselves upon Resaca, and
+ the rebel army only escaped by the rapidity of its retreat, aided by
+ the numerous roads with which he was familiar, and which were strange
+ to us. Again he took post, at Allatoona, but we gave him no rest, and
+ by a circuit toward Dallas and a subsequent movement to Ackworth, we
+ gained the Allatoona pass. Then followed the eventful battles about
+ Kenesaw and the escape of the enemy across the Chattahoochie river.
+ The crossing of the Chattahoochie and breaking of the Augusta road
+ was most handsomely executed by us, and will be studied as an example
+ in the art of war. At this stage of our game our enemies became
+ dissatisfied with their old and skilful commander and selected one
+ more bold and rash. New tactics were adopted. Hood first boldly and
+ rapidly on the 20th of July fell on our right at Peach Tree creek, and
+ lost again. On the 22d he struck our extreme left and was severely
+ punished; and finally again on the 28th he repeated the attempt on our
+ right, and that time must have been satisfied, for since that date he
+ has remained on the defensive. We slowly and gradually drew our lines
+ about Atlanta, feeling for the railroads which supplied the rebel army
+ and made Atlanta a place of importance. We must concede to our enemy
+ that he met these efforts patiently and skilfully, but at last he made
+ the mistake we had waited for so long and sent his cavalry to our
+ rear, far beyond the reach of recall. Instantly our cavalry was on his
+ only remaining road, and we followed quickly with our principal army,
+ and Atlanta fell into our possession as the fruit of well-concerted
+ measures, backed by a brave and competent army. This completed the
+ grand task which had been assigned us by our Government, and your
+ general again repeats his personal and official thanks to all the
+ officers and men composing this army for the indomitable courage and
+ perseverance which alone could give success. We have beaten our enemy
+ on every ground he has chosen, and have wrested from him his own
+ Gate city, where were located his foundries, arsenals, and workshops,
+ deemed secure on account of their distance from our base and the
+ seeming impregnable obstacles intervening. Nothing is impossible to an
+ army like this, determined to vindicate a government wherever our flag
+ has once floated, and resolved to maintain them at any and all cost.
+
+ “In our campaign many, yea very many of our noble and gallant comrades
+ have preceded us to our common destination, the grave; but they have
+ left the memory of deeds on which a Nation can build a proud history.
+ McPherson, Harker, McCook, and others dear to us all, are now the
+ binding links in our minds that should attach more closely together
+ the living, who have to complete the task which still lies before us
+ in the dim future.
+
+ “I ask all to continue as they have so well begun, the cultivation
+ of the soldierly virtues that have ennobled our own and other
+ countries,--courage, patience, obedience to the laws and constituted
+ authorities of our Government, fidelity to our trusts, and good
+ feeling among each other; each trying to excel the other in the
+ practice of those high qualities, and it will then require no prophet
+ to foretell that our country will, in time, emerge from this war
+ purified by the fires of war and worthy its great founder, Washington.

+With Sherman to the Sea--Colonel Schoonover’s Journal--Siege of
+Savannah.
+
+
+Tuesday, the 8th instant, the Twenty-ninth was very busy holding
+election. Detachments from other organizations were permitted to vote
+at the Twenty-ninth headquarters. The Twenty-ninth regiment cast three
+hundred and eighty-four votes. Of these Lincoln received three hundred
+and fifty and McClellan thirty-four. During the day the regiment was
+wide awake and enthusiastic, and gave every soldier a chance to vote.
+At 6:30 A. M. on the following day, while the regiment was in tents
+eating breakfast, the rebels opened a lively fire with artillery, at
+short range. The enemy approached our picket, which was posted west
+of camp, covering the Sandtown road, who were surprised and fell back
+without firing a shot; hence the first intimation that we had that the
+enemy was near was the report of their artillery and the bursting of
+shells in our midst. The Twenty-ninth fell in and took position behind
+the fortification which the regiment had constructed. In the meantime a
+line of skirmishers was sent out and soon the enemy were driven back. A
+portion of the brigade was sent out on the Sandtown road, marched a few
+miles, but the Confederates had flown, and late in the afternoon the
+scouting party returned to camp.
+
+November 10th. Remained in camp occupied in the usual camp and picket
+duties, and the inspection of ammunition, arms, and accoutrements, and
+all was quiet, and at 8 o’clock in the evening the city of Atlanta
+took fire and was nearly annihilated. Saturday, the 12th, in camp, and
+all is quiet. Sunday, November 13th, the Twenty-ninth was detailed to
+tear up and destroy the railroad, and 7:30 marched out on the railroad
+leading to Chattanooga, and was engaged until 10 at night in burning
+the ties and bending the rails. At night the regiment returned to its
+old camp at Atlanta. 14th instant, in camp; all quiet. A man in company
+I was injured by falling from a building. 15th instant, marched at 6:30
+A. M. on the road leading to Stone mountain in a southeast direction
+from Atlanta, and at 6 P. M. halted and went into camp (marched fifteen
+miles). 16th instant, marched at 7:30 A. M., and at 5:15 P. M. halted
+and camped for the night (marched twelve miles). 17th instant, marched
+at 5 o’clock A. M., and after marching twelve miles halted for dinner,
+and at 2 P. M. fell in and marched until 5 P. M., when the regiment
+halted and went into camp. 18th instant, moved at 4:30 A. M.; marched
+ten miles, and at 12 M. halted for dinner; fell in at 1 o’clock and at
+6 P. M. halted and camped for the night (marched twenty miles during
+the day). 19th instant, marched at 6:30 A. M.
+
+Twentieth instant, moved fourteen miles and camped for the night
+near Edenton. 21st, marched through Edenton in the direction of
+Milledgeville, a distance of sixteen miles, and went into camp. 22d,
+marched at 5:30 A. M., halted at 12 M. one hour for dinner, and at
+1:15 P. M. fell in and marched until 8 o’clock P. M., passed through
+Milledgeville and crossed the Oconee river and camped for the night.
+23d, Twenty-ninth regiment detailed for picket; fell in and moved east
+about three-fourths of a mile, passing through the woods and advancing
+into an open country; during its stay on picket duty some of the
+boys went out on a foraging expedition, and it is not necessary to
+state that they were successful, and that honey, sweet potatoes, and
+some fine chickens (which the quartermaster had left), made a very
+pleasant repast. 24th, received orders to join the brigade; marched at
+7 o’clock A. M., and halted at 1:30 for dinner; fell in at 2:15 P. M.,
+halted at 7:30, camped for the night; marched fifteen miles. 25th,
+moved at 7 A. M., passing through a low country covered with heavy
+timber and thick undergrowth; the Twenty-ninth was train guard; halted
+at 12 M., at Buffalo creek, for dinner; found the bridge destroyed;
+parked the train, and late in the afternoon the bridge was repaired
+and the regiment with the train crossed, passed through Buffalo swamp
+and camped for the night; marched twelve miles. 26th, the regiment was
+ordered up at 3:30 A. M., remained on arms until 7:30, when it marched
+with the brigade; halted at 1:30 P. M. at Sandersville for dinner, and
+in the afternoon marched to the Georgia Central railroad, tore up
+about two miles of track, and at 8:30 went into camp; drew rations of
+honey for supper. 27th, marched at 5 A. M., reached the railroad at
+8:50, tore up the track, and at 2:30 P. M. marched to Davisboro, which
+it reached at 9 o’clock, and camped here; marched nine miles. 28th,
+in the forenoon marched back to the railroad, and tore up track until
+5 o’clock P. M., then marched back to Davisboro, and camped for the
+night; nothing special transpired during the night except the burning
+of a house, which accidentally (?) took fire; search was made in the
+regiments of the brigade by the staff officers to find out if possible
+the cause of the fire, but “not guilty” was the response. 29th, marched
+at 6:30 A. M., halted at 11:30, at Bartlows station, for dinner, and in
+the afternoon marched through Bostwick and went into camp; marched 14
+miles. 30th, marched at 6 A. M., halted at Daniel Blake’s plantation
+for dinner, and in the afternoon marched four miles and camped for the
+night.
+
+December 1, 1864, marched at 7:30 A. M., the Second division in the
+advance, passed through a low, wet country, almost impassable to the
+ordnance train; halted at 8:15 and camped for the night; marched
+fifteen miles. 2d, marched at 6 A. M., First brigade in advance; moved
+about ten miles; halted at 12 M. for dinner, at a creek where the
+rebels had destroyed the bridge, and while preparing dinner, the
+Twenty-ninth regiment was ordered to fall in, which it did without
+delay, and marched to the creek; the enemy was found on its opposite
+bank in considerable force; the regiment was ordered to drive the enemy
+out of the timber, force them back and hold them while the bridge was
+being rebuilt; we loaded our guns, and crossing the bank four companies
+under Captain Schoonover advanced to the right up the road, through the
+timber (which was a thick undergrowth) driving the enemy out of the
+woods and into an open field about one mile from the bridge; barricaded
+the road with rails, and the other six companies under Major Wright,
+advanced direct to the point through the woods about one mile, the
+enemy falling back; the regiment held its position until the bridge
+was rebuilt, and a crossing effected, and late in the P. M. the brigade
+moved through the swamp and camped for the night. 3d, remained in camp
+until after dinner, then moved forward the remainder of the day and
+all night; had no supper; halted at 7 A. M. for breakfast, near Millen;
+the old stockade was empty, the prisoners having been removed the day
+before; after breakfast on the 4th, we moved forward, marched all day,
+and at 8 P. M. halted and camped for the night. 5th, marched at 7 A. M.,
+halted at 2:30 P. M. for dinner; moved three miles in the afternoon, and
+at 6 went into camp for the night. 6th, marched ten miles and camped
+for the night. 7th, marched at 7 A. M., halted at 12:30 for dinner;
+rained all the forenoon, had no dinner; marched in the afternoon,
+halted at 7 P. M. and camped for the night, near Springfield; marched
+twelve miles. 8th, marched at 6:30 A. M. and camped at 4:30 P. M. near
+Eden.
+
+9th instant at 9 A. M., moved six miles and halted thirty minutes for
+dinner at Wallhower Swamp, where the Confederates were found in force.
+The fallen timber which obstructed the road was soon removed by the
+Pioneer corps, and in the meantime with the Third brigade, of Geary’s
+division in the advance, had a sharp skirmish with the rebels. While
+the road was being cleared the Second division were resting on their
+arms, except the Third brigade, which had advanced nearly through the
+swamp. While engaged with the enemy the train was ordered forward,
+and the Twenty-ninth regiment advanced on double-quick in support
+of the brigade thus engaged. Passing the train it reached the Third
+brigade, which had advanced about one mile and a half. The Twenty-ninth
+immediately formed line on the left of the road in rear of the Third
+brigade, and skirmished until dark, when the firing ceased. During the
+night the rebels fell back. 10th instant, moved at 7 A. M. and marched
+through the swamp where we found small earth works and two small field
+pieces masked to cover the road through the swamp, but when the boys in
+blue were discovered the rebels moved to the rear. The regiment marched
+thirteen miles with some skirmishing and artillery firing during the
+day and night.
+
+When about four miles from the city of Savannah, Georgia, rebel
+artillery was found to be in the road behind earthworks to impede our
+progress. The Twenty-ninth regiment, with the brigade, filed to the
+left of the road and took position in the timber, where it bivouacked
+for the night. After leaving Atlanta, Georgia, on the 15th day of
+November, 1864, the army was designated as the Army of Georgia, the
+Twelfth and Fourteenth corps, known as the left wing, commanded by
+Major-general H. W. Slocum, and the Fifteenth and Seventeenth corps,
+known as the right wing, commanded by Major-general O. O. Howard,
+Major-general William T. Sherman in command of the Army of Georgia.
+
+On this march the army cut loose from the base of supplies at Atlanta,
+and lived mostly from forage on the country. On reaching the enemy
+within four miles of Savannah, on the 10th day of December, the
+division had accumulated several hundred head of cattle. Sunday,
+December 11th, moved in the morning about one mile, and took a position
+near the rebel lines, the Twenty-ninth regiment, on the extreme left
+of the line, with its left reaching the Savannah river. While in this
+position the rebels opened fire with artillery from a fort immediately
+in our front, and the infantry from their strong line of works, kept
+up a continual fire. The brigade remained in line until late in the
+afternoon, sustaining slight loss, when it fell back through the open
+field into the woods and laid on arms all night. On the 12th inst., at
+2:30 A. M., fell in and advanced to the front about one-half mile to the
+old levee, and thence filed to the left. Marched about three-fourths
+of a mile, halted, and prepared to charge the rebels. To do so the
+right had to pass a dike or canal with four or five feet of water,
+and assault the fort and breastworks in open field. The charge was
+abandoned, and at 4:30 A. M. the regiment returned to camp, where we
+remained skirmishing and artillery firing during the day. On the 13th
+inst. the Twenty-ninth was on skirmish line all day. During the night
+we advanced our line through a woods, which was heavy pine, mixed with
+live oak, within two hundred yards of the rebel line, where they were
+strongly intrenched. Between the contending armies was no timber except
+scattering undergrowth, and a canal near the rebel line of works. In
+this advanced position the regiment dug rifle-pits, which were strongly
+barricaded with timber.
+
+In the lines of rifle-pits our pickets were stationed and performed
+the duty of skirmishers, being relieved every twenty-four hours, which
+was done under cover of night. In the meantime the regiment fell back
+about one-fourth of a mile, and constructed works of heavy timber, in
+the rear of which the men put up their shelter tents. Here they could
+partake of the scanty rations (but dare not sleep), as the artillery
+firing and skirmishing was kept up continually day and night on the
+14th, 15th, 16th and 17th; and Sunday, the 18th, skirmishing and
+artillery duelling all along the line. On the 19th skirmishing all day.
+In the evening a detail was made from our brigade under the command
+of Major Myron T. Wright, to construct new lines of works. While
+engaged in the work at 7 o’clock P. M., he received a severe wound in
+the left foot (at which time Captain Jonas Schoonover took command),
+the ball entering the foot a little below the instep, and lodged into
+the center of the heel about one inch from the bottom of the foot. On
+the 20th, firing all along the line. This ceased at 11 o’clock P. M.
+The Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade and division, has been in
+position on the left of the road leading from Springfield to the city
+of Savannah, with its main line in the timber, its right resting on the
+river. During the ten days the command remained in front of Savannah
+it took charge of large rice mills on the river, and supplied the men
+with rice. The quartermaster used large quantities for the train teams.
+At one time rice sold for fifty cents per quart (before the capture
+of Fort McAllister, on December 13th, 1864). The rebels in our front
+were behind a heavy line of works, which was surmounted with large
+timber called head logs, with port holes in their front. At their rear
+was a large body of timber, their right rested on the river, where
+they had constructed two forts, one near the river, and the other a
+short distance west along their line, where they had a strong position
+behind sand bags. But our lines were advancing nearer every day, and
+during the night of December 20th they evacuated their works, and
+fell back to Savannah, crossing the river into South Carolina. At 4
+A. M., on the 21st day of December, the Twenty-ninth fell in, and moved
+in the advance of the brigade to the front. Passing the rifle-pits,
+it filed to the left, across the canal near the rebel fort, finding
+their works and entire line evacuated. We moved on in the direction of
+Savannah. On reaching the city, the Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania regiments moved down the river to Fort Jackson, which
+had been evacuated and set on fire. The regiments reached the fort at
+9 A. M., and at 12 o’clock at night the rebels blew up their gunboat
+Beauregard. We remained at the fort until December 24th, with the usual
+routine of camp and garrison duty. In the meantime the Twenty-ninth
+took an inventory of the ordnance and ordnance stores captured by
+the Twenty-ninth regiment and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania in Fort
+Jackson and other forts along the Savannah river. On the 24th instant
+the regiment was ordered to move at 9 A. M. The Twenty-ninth, in rear
+of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania volunteers, marched to the city of
+Savannah, passing through it, and encamping on the west side.
+
+On the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th, fixing company quarters, and
+attending to the usual routine of camp and guard duty. Friday, the
+30th, the army reviewed. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved from camp
+at 8:30 A. M., and marched to Liberty street in the city of Savannah,
+where it joined the brigade formed on the left, in prolongation with
+the Sixty-sixth regiment of Ohio volunteers. After review it returned
+to its old camp at 2 o’clock P. M. Saturday, the 31st, inspection and
+muster for pay at 10 A. M.
+
+January 1, 1865, monthly inspection at 2 o’clock P. M. 2d, 3d, 4th and
+5th, nothing occurred except the usual camp duty. 6th, 7th, 8th and
+9th, in camp, and up to the 18th the Twenty-ninth was doing camp duty,
+and on the 18th received news of the fall of Fort Fisher. From the 19th
+to the 25th engaged in camp duty and regimental drill.

+
+ “In compliance with circular order No. 144, I have the honor to submit
+ the following report of the operations of this brigade, from the
+ capture of Atlanta, September 2, 1864, to the occupation of Savannah,
+ Georgia, December 21, 1864, etc., etc.... December 2d, the march was
+ resumed at daybreak and was uninterrupted until Buckhead creek was
+ reached. The bridge over this place was partially destroyed, and a few
+ of the enemy’s cavalry were on the opposite side of the swamp. Major
+ Wright, commanding the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, was ordered to
+ cross the creek with his regiment and drive and keep away this force,
+ which was accomplished without loss. The command camped for the night
+ near Buckhead church.... December 12th to December 20th inclusive,
+ a substantial line of works was thrown up for the protection of the
+ command from the artillery of the enemy, and in addition to this two
+ forts, with thirteen embrasures in the aggregate, were constructed by
+ the command. The working parties on Fort No. 2 were under the command
+ of Captain Kreicler, One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania
+ volunteers, and those on Fort No. 3 under command of Captain E. B.
+ Woodbury, Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers. Both these officers and the
+ men under their command are deserving of praise for the energy and
+ perseverance manifested in the prosecution of the duty assigned them.
+
+ “December 21st, the enemy having evacuated their position the
+ night previous, their works were occupied at an early hour by the
+ skirmishers of the division, and by sunrise the city of Savannah was
+ entered and occupied, this brigade being in line in the advance into
+ the city. Soon after reaching the city, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+ and Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, under command of Colonel John Flynn,
+ were, by order of the commanding-general of division, through Captain
+ Veale, aide-de-camp, dispatched to occupy Fort Jackson and the smaller
+ forts and batteries near it. The possession of the forts and other
+ works was gained with but slight resistance.

+
+EXTRACT--OFFICIAL REPORT OF GENERAL GEARY.
+
+ “December 29th, a conference of the division and brigade commanders
+ with the general commanding the corps, was held at 10 A. M. to-day,
+ with the view to the adoption of a plan for storming the enemy’s
+ works, as soon as the heavy guns should be in readiness to open fire.
+ Fort No. 1 was finished this evening. The details from the First and
+ Third brigades continued work on the other forts during the night,
+ under a heavy artillery fire from the enemy. Several casualties
+ occurred, among them Major Wright, a most valuable officer, commanding
+ the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was severely wounded by a shell.
+ Sloan’s battery of three-inch rifled guns had already taken position
+ in a work thrown up to the right of Fort 3, and in the open field.
+
+ “December 20th. The usual artillery firing and sharp shooting to-day.
+ By this evening we had constructed and in readiness for use in the
+ contemplated assault, two hundred large straw fascines, to fill up
+ ditches in front of the enemy’s works; also a large number of fascines
+ made of bamboo-cane. The latter were to be used for bridging the canal
+ by laying them across baulks, which were furnished from the pontoon
+ train for that purpose. The work on Forts 2 and 3 was well advanced
+ to-day, and would probably be completed to-night. Three siege-guns
+ (thirty-pounder Parrotts) were brought down this evening and mounted
+ in Fort No. 2. I ascertained this morning that the enemy had completed
+ a pontoon bridge from Savannah across to the South Carolina shore, and
+ notified the general commanding corps of the discovery. This bridge
+ was about two and a half miles from my left. The usual artillery
+ firing was kept up by the enemy during the day and night. During the
+ night I heard the movement of troops and wagons across the pontoon
+ bridge before mentioned, and sent a report of the fact to the general
+ commanding corps. Leaving one of my staff to watch the sounds in that
+ direction, I notified my officer of the day and brigade commanders
+ to keep a vigilant watch upon the enemy, as they were probably
+ evacuating. The details on Forts 2 and 3 continued working through the
+ night, the enemy shelling them heavily.
+
+ “December 21st. After 3 o’clock this morning the firing ceased, and my
+ pickets advancing to the enemy’s line, found them hastily retreating.
+ Having possession of their line of works with all their cannon in
+ front of my own and the other division of the corps, I immediately
+ sent a staff officer to notify the general commanding, and at the
+ same time pushed forward rapidly in the direction of Savannah, hoping
+ to overtake and capture a part of the enemy’s force. My skirmishers
+ deployed and swept over all the ground between the evacuated works
+ and the Ogeechee canal, from the river to the Augusta road, while my
+ main body of troops marched rapidly by the flank through McAlpin’s
+ plantation to the Augusta road, and on into the city. Just outside
+ of the city limits near the junction of the Louisville and Augusta
+ roads, I met the mayor of Savannah and a delegation from the board of
+ alderman, bearing a flag of truce. From them I received in the name
+ of my commanding general the surrender of the city. This was at 4:30
+ A. M., and I sent immediately another staff officer to announce the
+ surrender to the general commanding the corps. He had considerable
+ difficulty in passing the line of another division of this corps on
+ the Augusta road, but finally convinced them that he belonged to
+ the Twentieth corps and not to the enemy. In the meantime my entire
+ division entered the city of Savannah at early dawn, and before the
+ sun first gilded the morning clouds, our National colors, side by side
+ with those of my own division, were unfurled from the dome of the
+ exchange, and over the United States custom house. The brigade which
+ led on entering the city, was at once ordered to patrol it, reduce it
+ to order and quiet, and prevent any pillaging or lawlessness on the
+ part either of soldiers or citizens. My orders on the subject were
+ very strict, and within a few hours this city, in which I had found
+ a lawless mob of low whites and negroes pillaging and setting fire
+ to property, was reduced to order. Many millions of dollars worth of
+ cotton, ordnance and commissary stores, etc., which would have been
+ otherwise destroyed, were saved to the United States Government, and
+ the citizens once more enjoyed security under the protection of that
+ flag which again waved over them, exactly four years since the passage
+ by the State of South Carolina of the Secession Act.
+
+ “Two regiments from Pardee’s brigade, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+ and Twenty-ninth Ohio veteran volunteers, were sent down to Fort
+ Jackson, and early in the morning had possession of it and all the
+ intermediate and surrounding works. The iron-plated ram, Savannah,
+ which lay in the river below the city, threw shells at these two
+ regiments as they flung the stars and stripes to the breeze from the
+ walls of Fort Jackson. All the other gun-boats of the enemy had been
+ fired by them and burned to the water’s edge.
+
+ “On the arrival of the major-general commanding the left wing, I was,
+ by his order, placed in command of the city. Until nearly 10 A. M.
+ continued firing was heard in the direction of Beaulieu, and supposing
+ that a portion of the enemy might still be south of us, I kept one
+ brigade under arms during the forenoon. Three rebel flags were
+ captured by my command, which will be duly forwarded.
+
+  “I am, Colonel, very-respectfully
+  Your obedient servant,
+  JOHN W. GEARY,
+  Brigadier-general commanding Second division Twentieth
+  corps.”

+
+The new flag for the Twenty-ninth regiment, contributed by the citizens
+of Summit and Ashtabula counties, was accompanied by the following
+letter from Colonels Buckley and Fitch. The receipt of the new flag is
+gracefully acknowledged by the letter of Mr. G. W. Holloway, appended
+thereto, which letter was accompanied by the old flag, which had been
+borne by this gallant regiment in so many bloody battles.
+
+  AKRON, May, 1865.
+
+ COL. JONAS SCHOONOVER. DEAR SIR:--We have the honor and pleasure of
+ forwarding to the gallant old Twenty-ninth another national flag,
+ the gift of its old friends in Ashtabula and Summit counties. This
+ is the third national flag given the regiment from the same source.
+ It is certainly a strong proof that its friends still believe it to
+ be one of the bravest of the brave of the many noble regiments Ohio
+ has given to fight this great battle. If the regiment had no other
+ proof than its old and tattered flags, that alone would show that it
+ had been in the thickest of the fight, ever ready to breast the fury
+ of the battle storm; but its history tells us that it has borne an
+ honorable part in nearly a score of the hardest fought battles of the
+ war. Citizen soldiers, take this flag and bear it aloft wherever duty
+ calls, and your friends will take your past record as a guarantee that
+ it will never be dishonored by the Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran Volunteer
+ Infantry. Colonel, please remember us to the dear old Twenty-ninth,
+ and accept for yourself our best wishes.
+
+  LEWIS P. BUCKLEY,
+  WILLIAM T. FITCH,
+  Old Cols. of the Twenty-ninth Ohio.

+  HEADQUARTERS TWENTY-NINTH OHIO,      }
+  BLADENSBURG, MARYLAND, June 5, 1865. }
+
+  Colonels Buckley and Fitch, and S. A. Lane, Esq.:
+
+ GENTLEMEN:--In the name of the officers and men of the Twenty-ninth
+ Ohio veteran volunteer infantry, I herewith acknowledge the receipt
+ of the beautiful flag presented the regiment, and in return I present
+ to you the old one, which it has been our proud honor to carry
+ victoriously over many hard-fought battlefields. That dear “old flag”
+ which has been our companion through years of fearful war and carnage,
+ and which symbolizes our glorious nationality, tells its own story.
+ We return it to you, but not so beautiful in form and color as when
+ presented to us eighteen months ago. But whilst its external beauty
+ has been defaced, yet the great life-giving principles of which it is
+ the exponent, are all the more deeply enshrined in the hearts of its
+ defenders, and Liberty receives through this standard another bright
+ and shining star to her beautiful constellation. Take it, then, and
+ place it among the archives of the nation, that it may be preserved as
+ a sacred memorial, and handed down to latest posterity as a glorious
+ legacy and standard that was borne, as by angel hands, in opposition
+ to oppression and rebellion. Be assured that it is with a renewed
+ national pride that we look upon this beautiful flag presented to
+ the Twenty-ninth Ohio, by the patriotic and loyal citizens of Summit
+ and Ashtabula counties. The past history of almost four years in
+ war, speaks for our conduct as soldiers and patriots for the future.
+ We promise never to desert this flag, nor will we permit traitors
+ or rebels to wrest it from our hands. We will always be willing and
+ ready to unfurl it in defense of the principles of our glorious, free
+ Republic. Truly our country’s faith has learned a new interpretation
+ of her standard. The white typifies the purity of purpose which
+ belongs to her true ruler; the red points to the crimson tide in which
+ life flows forth a willing offering; the blue reminds her of her home
+ in heaven, to which all the good are gathered; the stars in her banner
+ tell of light in darkness, and she shall learn to range them in a new
+ and beautiful order, as the constellation of the cross. It is that
+ flag which has solved most conclusively the long disputed problem of
+ a free republican form of government. It was that flag which was so
+ bravely and triumphantly carried through the ordeal of war by our
+ Revolutionary sires, and encircled them with a halo of glory that
+ shall be handed down untarnished to millions of unborn freemen. It
+ was that flag which, under God, enabled our forefathers to gain our
+ glorious independence, and here, in this beautiful land of lakes and
+ rivers, rear a temple of liberty which stands first among the nations
+ of the earth, the envy and admiration of all. It is the flag which we
+ have learned to love and to defend, and which we cherish in our hearts
+ as the guardian angel of our country.
+
+ May that same God who has given so many brave hearts to defend it,
+ continue to preserve it, and may it give light and liberty to millions
+ who are yet groaning under tyranny and oppression. But we would not
+ pass by unnoticed the many noble brave men who offered themselves a
+ willing sacrifice upon our country’s altar in defense of that national
+ banner. The voices of our fallen comrades are borne to us in solemn
+ silence by every breeze that fans our brow. The South is billowed with
+ the graves where sleep the patriot martyrs of constitutional liberty,
+ until the resurrection morn. We hold them dear to our hearts, for
+ may it never be forgotten that their deeds of valor facilitated the
+ consummation of the glorious results which have just been achieved.
+ Though they be dead, they yet speak, and will continue to speak to
+ the end of all time, and dear to each patriot heart will ever be the
+ memory of those who died in defense of the Union.
+
+      “There are many
+  Patriots have toiled in their country’s cause,
+  Bled nobly, and their deeds, as they deserve,
+  Receive proud recompense. We give in charge
+  Their names to the sweet lyre. The historic muse
+  Proud of her charge, marches with it down
+  To latest time: and sculpture, in her turn,
+  Gives bond, in stone and ever-during brass,
+  To guard and immortalize her trust.”
+
+At Bladensburg we went into camp, and remained until June 10. Marched
+to Washington at 8 P. M., and embarked on the cars of the Baltimore &
+Ohio railroad and steamed away homeward, bound to Parkersburg by way
+of Grafton, West Virginia, thence by boat to Louisville, Kentucky;
+moved five miles into the country, where we remained until the 13th
+day of July, when we were mustered out. Repairing to Camp Taylor, near
+Cleveland, Ohio, we were paid off and formally discharged from the
+service on the 22d and 23d days of July, 1865.
+
+We have now followed the regiment through nearly four years of the
+most arduous service which ever fell to the lot of any organization
+of this character, marching and fighting through most of the States
+in rebellion, its pathway marked by the graves of our comrades who
+fell. In the interim, hundreds of the brave 1540 who were upon its
+rolls, pass under the charge of the worse than fiends of hell, who
+presided at Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and other courts of
+death, by courtesy called rebel prisons, where, after being robbed
+of all they possessed, and even stripped of necessary clothing, they
+were subjected to a systematic course of starvation (and that, too,
+under the immediate supervision of that foul blot upon humanity, Jeff
+Davis) until their brave spirits went out to the God who gave them.
+In the army of the East, with the army of the West, with Sherman in
+the glorious march to the sea, and the brilliant campaign of the
+Carolinas--where there was danger and death--shone the “white star” of
+the Twenty-ninth. The skirmish line and the advance became so nearly
+the normal condition of the regiment that assignment to positions less
+dangerous elicited exclamations of surprise from the “boys.”
+
+At length the last ditch, so frequently referred to by the braggart
+rebels, was reached--chivalrous Jeff Davis in hoc and crinoline begged
+that mercy be shown to “woman and children.” The bubble secessia burst,
+and the command, now reduced to a mere handful, turn sadly northward,
+its columns “gaping from the havoc of shot and shell, and the disease
+of the camp, and prison pen, its colors ragged and torn, but proud
+and defiant as ever--one grand ovation to the living, a sad wailing
+requiem for the dead,” and “good byes” are said in the beautiful
+Forest city, as each departed for their homes to assume the peaceful
+avocations of four years before.
+
+Gradually they have drifted away--some to a quiet nook in the country
+church yard, and others to the east, west, and south, until now they
+may be found in nearly every State and Territory in this vast Union.
+Annually they come together in re-union at some convenient point in
+Puritan Western Reserve, and
+
+  “Fight their battles o’er again.”
+
+Each year a committee is appointed whose duty it is to draft
+resolutions of condolence to the memory of the comrades whose “final
+statements” have been called for since the last meeting, and this
+committee _always have something to do_. Each yearly roll call is
+shorter than its predecessor, and it does not require a long look into
+the future to find only the roll--no one to call it, and none to answer
+to their names if called.
+
+  Absent “comrades, gone before us
+  In the ‘great review’ to pass--
+  Never more to earthly chieftain
+  Dipping colors as ye pass--
+  Heaven accord ye gentle judgment
+  As before the throne ye pass.”
+
+While almost within gun shot of the site of the canvass covered field
+of 1861, busily engaged in well nigh vain endeavors to retain his grip
+upon the “ragged edge” of a somewhat precarious existence, and but
+a few laps in advance of the grim gentleman with the hour glass and
+scythe, abides

+
+
+
+GENERAL REVIEW.
+
+
+The following review of the battles, sieges, marches, and campaigns in
+which the Twenty-ninth regiment was engaged, is from the pen of Colonel
+Jonas Schoonover. It gives in brief the important work of the regiment
+during its nearly four years’ service, and should the “gentle reader”
+find the descriptive portion of the history too voluminous, she has but
+to turn to this review to find consolation.
+
+Beginning with the service in the winter of 1861-2, along the waters
+of the Potomac and its tributaries, and in the mountain regions of
+Hampshire county, the Romney expedition in West Virginia, the advance
+to Winchester via Little mountain and Martinsburg, thence into the
+Shenandoah valley. The Strasburg march, which ended in the battle of
+Winchester, where the Federal army, under General Shields, and the
+rebels, commanded by General T. J. Jackson, at Kernstown, engaged in a
+sanguinary battle on March 23d, 1862, in which the Union army gained a
+victory. The Twenty-ninth Ohio done its full share, suffering slight
+loss in killed and wounded. The march up the valley to Madisonburg;
+the long march to Fredericksburg, leaving the Shenandoah valley at
+New Market on the 12th day of May, 1862, and reaching Fredericksburg
+May 22, 1862, a day or two later returning to Luray via Warrenton
+and Front Royal, up the Luray valley to Port Republic, where, on the
+9th day of June, it engaged in battle with heavy loss in killed and
+wounded. One hundred and ten were made prisoners. The Twenty-ninth
+was engaged at short range in the open field against three times its
+number over four hours. During the time the struggle was desperate on
+both sides. The battle of Cedar mountain, seven miles from Culpepper
+Courthouse, on August 9th, the Union army under Banks, the rebels under
+Longstreet, the Twenty-ninth was engaged in the open field without
+cover, and sustained considerable loss. Then followed the retrograde
+move to Culpepper; the campaign of General Pope, including the second
+battle of Bull Run; and the march to Frederick City; the winter and
+spring campaign of 1862 and 1863, under Major-general Joseph Hooker,
+at Dumfries, was memorable for its intense suffering; then came the
+march to Chancellorsville, and the battle there, which began May 1st,
+and ended on the 3d, in which the Twenty-ninth suffered heavy loss and
+was the last to leave the field. May 5th we crossed the Rappahannock on
+our way to Gettysburg via Aqua creek, Dumfries, Fairfax Court House,
+Leesburg, Edward’s Ferry, Harper’s Ferry, Frederick, and Littletown,
+where we fought one of the most determined battles of the war,
+commencing on the 1st and ending on the 4th day of July, 1863.
+
+We returned to Virginia; moved to New York to quell riots; returned
+again; advanced to the Rapidan; reported to the Department of the
+Cumberland, via the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, crossing the Ohio
+river at Bellaire. On September 30th, we passed through Columbus,
+Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky, and halted at
+Murfreesboro, Tennessee. In October we passed down to Stevenson and
+Bridgeport, Alabama, and up the Tennessee river to Wauhatchie valley.
+
+On November 24th and 25th, we were engaged in the battle of Lookout
+mountain; Missionary Ridge on November 24th and 25th, and Taylor’s
+Ridge and Ringgold, Georgia, on November 26th and 27th, 1863.
+
+In December of the same year we re-enlisted, and during the winter
+we prepared for a vigorous and active campaign in the early spring
+of 1864. On May 3d, we left Bridgeport, Alabama, on the Georgia
+campaign, passing around Lookout Mountain, Rossville, and Crawfish
+springs. On May 8th, the Twenty-ninth regiment took an active part
+in the battle of Dug Gap, Georgia, where it distinguished itself for
+bravery unparalleled in modern history; every fourth man was killed or
+wounded. We moved on to Resaca, and in the fight of the 14th our loss
+was light. We moved on to Calhoun, Adairsville, Kingston, and Cassville
+on May 21st. In the battle of Pumpkin Vine Creek (or Dallas) from May
+25th to the 28th, we met with some loss. In the battle of Pine Knob on
+June 15th, the Twenty-ninth suffered severe loss. Many of its brave
+heroes, whose valor will ever be held in memory by every survivor
+of the Twenty-ninth regiment, were killed. The battles of Lost and
+Kenesaw Mountain were on June 20th and 27th, and we advanced to the
+Chattahoochie river, via Marietta, Georgia, and then to the battle of
+Peach Tree Creek.
+
+The Georgia campaign, from May 8th until the evacuation of Atlanta on
+September 2, 1864, a period of four months, was one continuous battle.
+The marching through Georgia was a glorious achievement, and will ever
+be recorded as one of the most brilliant feats in this or any other
+war. In Sherman’s grand march to the sea and the siege and capture of
+Savannah, Georgia, the Twenty-ninth did its full share. It was engaged
+from December 10th to the 21st, when it entered the city of Savannah.
+On January 27, 1865, we moved on the campaign through the Carolinas,
+and were engaged in the following battles, and skirmishes of this
+campaign; Averysboro, North Carolina, on March 16th; Bentonville,
+North Carolina, on March 19, 1865, and marching to Goldsboro on March
+24th. After Johnston’s army at Raleigh, North Carolina, and the final
+march through Virginia to Washington in May, 1865, we took part in the
+grand review, thence to Louisville, Kentucky, on to Camp Taylor at
+Cleveland, Ohio, and home. The regiment was in the service nearly four
+years, and it is but justice to state that during its entire term it
+was _never driven from its position by direct assault_.

+TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES
+
+This ebook was transcribed by a native of the state of Ohio.
+
+This book transcription is dedicated to Thadeus “Ted” Slade, also a
+native Ohioan and the biggest Civil War history buff I know.
+
+Some punctuation has been standardized. Some alternate spellings
+may have been retained. Some obvious misspellings and typographical
+errors/omissions have been corrected. Any other changes are noted below.
+
+Some inconsistencies in human or place names were corrected by
+correlating with names elsewhere in the text.
+
+The errata from the original book was applied to this text.
+
+p. 60: Inserted a probable missing beginning of paragraph. (“[It] is
+perhaps unnecessary”)
+
+p. 64: Corrected year in chapter description from 1862 to 1863. The
+Battle of Chancellorsville took place in 1863, and the end of the prior
+chapter also indicates we are in mid-1863 at this point in the journal.
+
+p. 120: Corrected date “August 2st” to August 1st (“August 1st to 3d,
+hot firing all the time.”). The phrasing “to” vs. “and” makes a date
+range of larger than two days likely, and it’s more reasonable to
+believe the printer misplaced 2 for 1, than misplaced “st” for “nd”.
+
+p. 143: Corrected time from 6:30 to 9:30 (“at 9:30 fell in and marched
+six miles as rear guard to the Twentieth army corps”). It’s not logical
+that they would move from 8:00am back to 6:30am in the journal. The
+printer presumably set 6 in place of 9, or inverted the 9.
+
+p. 232: Corrected the discharge date for John H. Finneman (confirmed
+using records found on civilwarindex.com on January 23, 2021). As
+printed, the date was June 18, 1865.
+
+p. 241: Corrected Lysander T. King’s company from “T” to “F” per the
+company F listing on p. 206.

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
+computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
+exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
+from people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
+Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
+www.gutenberg.org
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
+U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
+Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
+to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
+and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
+widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
+state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+
+Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
+facility: www.gutenberg.org
+
+This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<p>On the twentieth anniversary of the organization of
+the Twenty-ninth regiment Ohio Veteran volunteer infantry,
+Comrade J. H. SeCheverell was instructed to prepare
+a history of the same, and the undersigned were
+appointed a committee to supervise its publication.
+Comrade SeCheverell, after months of perplexing labor,
+completed the manuscript which was examined by us in
+Cleveland, July 19, 1882. It was then decided to issue
+fifty proof copies of the work to be put into the hands
+of members of the regiment for such additions or corrections
+as should be found necessary. This was done, and
+after the return of the proofs and the incorporation of
+whatever corrections they contained, Comrade SeCheverell
+visited Akron, and spent several days with Colonel
+Schoonover, to whom was intrusted the corrections
+for that vicinity, and it is with no small degree of satisfaction
+that we now present the work to the comrades
+and friends of the regiment with our hearty endorsement,
+believing it <em>as complete and perfect as it is possible
+to make it</em>.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>In the following pages no attempt at literary gush is
+made, the design being simply to preserve from oblivion
+the record of the valiant deeds of this, the bravest of the
+brave regiments from the Buckeye State, that in the dim,
+distant future, when each comrade shall have answered
+to his last earthly roll-call and gone to the “grand
+review” with the many whose bones now repose in that
+far away country of the orange and the magnolia, those
+left behind may not forget the sacrifices made, and the
+untold dangers endured for that flag, the beautiful, starry
+emblem of a now united people, whose supremacy preserved
+for them the blessings of this great country, the
+best beneath the ethereal vault of heaven.</p>
+
+<p>The data from which the journal portion of the volume
+is composed was obtained from members of the regiment,
+who certify to its correctness. Colonel Jonas
+Schoonover furnished, from Atlanta to Washington.</p>
+
+<p>The reader will mark the entire absence of personal
+laudation so common in works of this class, and the
+crowding of a few favored ones to the front to the exclusion
+of the hundreds of equally brave and meritorious
+men in perhaps lowly positions. That the fortunes of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[10]</span>
+war brought many forward with flattering prominence is
+most true, and that thousands who wore the simple
+blouse of blue and carried the musket were possessed of
+merit as great is also true. To have been a member of
+the Twenty-ninth Regiment Ohio Veteran Volunteers is
+glory enough for a lifetime. If you did your duty, it is
+well; if you failed, printers’ ink will not make a hero of
+you. Then let each be content with the happy assurance
+that he did what he could for the flag.</p>
+
+<p>The writer would acknowledge in an especial manner
+his obligations to L. D. Drum, adjutant-general of the
+United States army, for the very complete casualty list at
+the close of the volume; also, to Samuel B. Smith, adjutant-general
+of Ohio, Hon. E. B. Taylor, Colonel
+Edward Hayes, Jonas Schoonover, Captain R. H. Baldwin,
+George W. Holloway; the members of the very
+efficient revisory committee, Captains D. W. Thomas, T.
+W. Nash, Lieutenant T. E. Hoyt, Sergeant E. F. Mason,
+and C. H. Coon; the Ashtabula Sentinel, Jefferson
+Gazette, and the Akron Daily News, for numerous
+courtesies extended to him, during the preparation of
+this work; and to each comrade and friend who has aided
+him in his labors, to name all of whom would require
+many pages. He has conscientiously endeavored to
+make the volume free from errors. If he has succeeded
+it will be the first of its kind. However, such as it is, it
+is presented to the regiment and its friends with the
+belief that it contains much of value.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>The author of this volume has honored me with an
+invitation to write an “Introduction.” A book without
+a preface would be an anomaly: in other words, out of
+harmony with established usage; not strictly important,
+but answering much the same purpose as the “whereas”
+preceding the resolutions of the convention.</p>
+
+<p>I have not been permitted to read the author’s manuscript,
+yet I do not hesitate to assure the reader that as
+he peruses the pages of the book he will find much to
+entertain and profit. To the veteran who enlisted and
+fought in the historic “Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran
+volunteer infantry” it will be read with especial interest.
+The eye will moisten, and the heart swell with mingled
+emotions as he is reminded again of the varying scenes
+of the camp, the march, and the battle. Others, too
+young to remember anything of the war, but who have
+heard the stories of the conflict from their fathers, will
+read this historic sketch of the old regiment with the
+greatest avidity.</p>
+
+<p>We well remember the author as “Hamp,” the drummer
+boy of Company B, his boyish look, with his neatly-fitting
+suit of blue, and the tenor drum suspended from
+his neck, while with nimble fingers he plied the ebony
+sticks in beating the tattoo, reveille, or the “long roll.”</p>
+
+<p>He has done a real and invaluable service to his comrades
+in gathering up and condensing in neat and durable<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[12]</span>
+form so many interesting facts relating to the work of a
+noble regiment. So much, at least, is saved from
+oblivion.</p>
+
+<p>In writing the history of any war only a mere outline
+can be thought of. Anything like a full and detailed
+account of what happened is out of the question.
+Neither time nor space would permit.</p>
+
+<p>The multiplied thousands who carried their muskets
+and knapsacks on foot all over “Dixie,” and who really
+did the hard work of the conflict, must be massed in
+history even as in war they were massed against the foe.
+Their individual deeds of daring and suffering were not
+a whit behind those of the great Wellingtons, Washingtons,
+and Grants. The latter were in positions to glide
+easily into history, and have their heroic deeds emblazoned
+and read in the books of every nation. The
+former may have loved their country as well and fought
+as bravely for her honor, and yet die in obscurity, “to
+fortune and to fame unknown.”</p>
+
+<p>Dr. SeCheverell has doubtless done his best under the
+circumstances to do justice to the name of every member
+of the old Twenty-ninth. It was known as the Giddings’
+regiment, in honor of the Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, for
+twenty consecutive years a member of the lower house
+of Congress.</p>
+
+<p>Perhaps no man during his time did more than Mr.
+Giddings to create public opinion in favor of the freedom
+of the slave. The regiment was raised almost entirely
+within the bounds of his old district, and it was fitting
+that it should bear his name. But I remember that
+when recruiting it a frequent objection to enlistment was
+that should any member of the regiment be so unfortunate
+as to be taken prisoner by the “Rebs,” he would
+be forthwith shot, hung, or burnt at the stake, particularly<span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[13]</span>
+on Giddings’ account, and that the name would be
+so odious in the South, and would so advertise the regiment
+that every member would be especially hunted
+down and exterminated.</p>
+
+<p>I think “Hamp” has failed utterly to ascertain that
+any prisoner from the Twenty-ninth was thus punished,
+although many of the boys were often in rebel hands.</p>
+
+<p>I have ever considered myself fortunate and honored
+in having been associated with such a regiment.</p>
+
+<p>I was duly appointed and commissioned as the first
+chaplain, holding the position one year, resigning at the
+expiration of that time, and receiving an honorable discharge
+from the service.</p>
+
+<p>Of the officers of the regiment much might be said.
+Nobody who ever knew Colonel Buckley will ever forget
+him. A brave man, a great admirer of order and discipline,
+faultlessly neat and tidy, a confirmed dyspeptic;
+yet the most ticklish and fun provoking humor often
+cropped out in his conversation and intercourse with
+men. One morning, away down between Bull Run and
+Fredericksburg, when the tired and jaded men were in
+line for the day’s march, the Colonel was in his saddle
+with his toes daintily touching the stirrups, his pale, clean
+shaven face shaded by the visor of his blue cap, from
+beneath which his practiced eye swept the whole regiment
+at a glance, while his well-polished sword, firmly
+gripped, stood perpendicular, resting against the shoulder;
+with a stentorian voice he published the following
+order: “Men of the Twenty-ninth, let there be no
+straggling on the march to-day. But if any of you do
+straggle take Twenty-ninth off from your caps and put
+on One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania.”</p>
+
+<p>The joke on the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania
+was fully appreciated and immensely enjoyed (a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">[14]</span>
+regiment noted for straggling). With roars of laughter
+the boys shouldered their muskets and knapsacks for
+another hard day’s march through the pine barrens.</p>
+
+<p>Lieutenant-colonel Clark is remembered as a staunch
+advocate of temperance, whose interests were ever for
+the men.</p>
+
+<p>Major Clemmer, as a genial, bluff soldier, whose songs
+often enlivened the dreariness of the camp or bivouac;
+and Quartermaster Gibbs, as a man of prompt execution,
+who expected equal promptness from others. Many
+anecdotes and incidents of them could be narrated
+by the page, but I remember that the introduction
+to the volume is not the place for sketches of this kind;
+and I fear that I have already introduced much that does
+not strictly belong to this part of the book. I beg pardon
+for any seeming trespass in this direction.</p>
+
+<p>This introduction, written in the midst of other pressing
+duties, with frequent interruptions, now most affectionately
+inscribes this volume to every member of the
+Twenty-ninth regiment of Ohio Veteran volunteer infantry;
+to their wives and their children.</p>
+
+<p>I am happy to enjoy this privilege of saying a few
+words in Dr. SeCheverell’s book to my old comrades.
+My prayer is that God will bless every surviving member
+of the regiment, with their families, also the widows and
+orphans of deceased members, and that when the battle
+of life is over, we may wear the victor’s crown in heaven.</p>

+<p class="center"><small>The South Preparing for War&mdash;The Fall of Sumter&mdash;The Grand
+Rally to the Support of the Flag&mdash;Formation of the Regiment.</small></p>
+
+<p>President Lincoln, in his inaugural address of March
+4, 1861, said: “I have no purpose, directly or indirectly,
+to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States
+where it exists. I believe that I have no lawful right,
+and I have no inclination to do so.” The South had
+apparently decided otherwise, and continued the preparations
+for secession, begun under the administration
+of, and so ably seconded by that old imbecile, James Buchanan.</p>
+
+<p>The outlook became so fraught with danger to the
+Union, that on April 7th a naval expedition sailed from
+New York to the relief of Fort Sumter. Its arrival off
+Charleston harbor was followed by a furious bombardment
+of the fort by the rebel batteries of General Beauregard.
+The capitulation on April 13th, of the little
+handful of gallant men who so bravely defended their
+country’s flag, was followed by an outburst of patriotic
+indignation perhaps never before witnessed in the history
+of the world. In an incredibly short space of
+time the President’s call for seventy-five thousand men<span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">[18]</span>
+was filled by citizens eagerly marching to the defense
+of the National capital.</p>
+
+<p>The rebels meanwhile were busily engaged in appropriating
+or destroying the available arms and munitions
+of war belonging to the Government. At Bull Run, a
+few miles from Washington, General Beauregard massed
+his rebel horde, and here, on July 21st, General McDowell
+gratified the insane “On to Richmond” cry, by giving
+them battle. The result was the complete overthrow of
+the Union army, which retreated in the wildest disorder
+to Washington. This event cast a deep gloom over
+the entire North (barring the copperhead element).
+More than twice the time allowed by the knowing(?)
+ones to crush the Rebellion (sixty days) had elapsed,
+and yet it was growing stronger every day. The North
+was not yet awake to the magnitude of the work it had
+undertaken. The first patriotic outburst was on the
+wane; the sympathy of England and the encouragement
+given to the rebels by the “copperheads” in the North,
+gave a prestige to the Southern cause which, to many,
+bespoke the final success of treason. In this dark hour
+of our country’s peril, that brave old hero, Joshua R.
+Giddings, with B. F. Wade, E. B. Woodbury, and other
+well known associates, feeling that they had been disappointed
+in the acts of another regiment, made up in
+part of soldiers recruited in this district, obtained permission
+to organize regiment number Twenty-nine, which
+should be made up as far as possible, of those in political
+sympathy with the projectors. The report of the
+soldiers already returned from the three months’ service,
+and who were generally ready to go again, seemed to indicate
+who they wished for commanders. Major Lewis
+P. Buckley, of Akron, educated at West Point, was generally
+desired as colonel, and Thomas Clark, of Cleveland,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">[19]</span>
+formerly a cadet at Norwich university, Vermont,
+was for the same reason selected to commence the work.
+He was accordingly appointed major, on the 13th of
+August. Two days later he was mustered into service,
+and ordered to report at once to Jefferson, select a suitable
+location, and organize a camp. On the 17th he
+arrived at Jefferson, and a couple of days were spent in
+examining fields offered; at last the grounds of the
+County Agricultural Society were selected. A part of
+company A reported on the 19th, and company B in the
+afternoon of the same day. The camp equipage arrived
+on the 20th. On the 27th company C reported, and on
+September 10th, company D, and with this company
+came Colonel Buckley, who had just completed his service
+in the Nineteenth regiment.</p>
+
+<p>Following are the companies, in the order they entered
+the service, with the commanders and the localities
+from which they were recruited: Company A, Captain
+William F. Fitch, was recruited in Jefferson and vicinity,
+and Hartsgrove. Company B, Captain Wilbur F. Stevens,
+was recruited in Pierpont and vicinity, and Harpersfield.
+Company C, Captain Edward Hayes, was
+recruited in Andover and vicinity, Gustavus, Ohio, and
+Espyville, Pennsylvania. Company D, Captain Pulaski
+C. Hard, was recruited in Akron, Summit county. Company
+E, Captain Horatio Luce, was recruited in Conneaut
+and surrounding townships. Company F, Captain
+John F. Morse, was recruited in Painesville and Mentor,
+Lake county, and Montville, Geauga county. Company
+G, Captain John S. Clemmer, was recruited in Akron
+and vicinity. (Second Lieutenant W. P. Williamson, of
+this company, who was shot dead at the battle of Winchester,
+Virginia, March 23, 1862, was the first man in
+the regiment to die by rebel hands.) Company H, Captain<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[20]</span>
+Jonas Schoonover, was recruited in Akron and vicinity.
+Company I, Captain Russell B. Smith, was
+recruited in Medina county, and by transfers, and company
+K, Captain Alden P. Steele, was recruited from
+the various townships in Ashtabula county.</p>
+
+<p>The adverse causes before referred to, materially retarded
+the enlistment of the regiment, and it was not
+until about December 1st that the different company
+organizations were completed and the following staff
+officers elected:</p>
+
+<p>Colonel Lewis P. Buckley, Akron, Summit county.</p>
+
+<p>Lieutenant-colonel Thomas Clark, Cleveland, Cuyahoga
+county.</p>
+
+<p>Major John S. Clemmer, Mogadore, Summit county.</p>
+

+
+<hr class="tb" />
+
+<p>During the interim came the easy days of soldier life.
+Ah! those happy, golden days of camp life, when, with
+guard mount, battalion drill, and dress parade, the time
+passed swiftly away, and each heart beat high with patriotic
+desire for early marching orders; days looked back
+to from the dreary bivouac in the snow, tentless, and
+with clothing in tatters, scarce covering the form from
+the bitter, cutting winds of winter, or in the drizzling
+rain on the lonely outpost when sharp-eyed rebels only
+waited for the opportunity to send the leaden messenger
+of death whizzing in your direction. Sometimes the
+“boys” thought the rations were not sufficiently “gilt-edged,”
+quite too plain in fact, for the savers of the
+country’s honor, yet how often, while trying, almost in
+vain, with the half-pint of raw meal to keep the soul and
+the poor emaciated body together in those hell devised
+starvation traps&mdash;Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and
+Salisbury&mdash;did the brave fellows turn with longing hearts
+to the bounteous commissary at old Camp Giddings.
+Fears were oft expressed lest the war would close before
+the Twenty-ninth should be permitted to add its mite to
+the support of the flag. How needless they were the
+rolls show; more than one-third (five hundred and forty)
+of the one thousand five hundred and thirty-two members
+of the regiment, were either killed, wounded, or
+missing in action, and one hundred and fifty-seven died
+of disease. The colors, too, which waved so grandly in
+the sharp winter air, that long agone Christmas morning
+in 1861, are now in shreds, rent and torn by the leaden<span class="pagenum" id="Page_22">[22]</span>
+hail through which they were carried to glorious victories.</p>
+
+<p>This beautiful stand of colors was presented to the
+regiment on Wednesday, November 27th, by Hon. J. R.
+Giddings, on behalf of the donors, the ladies of Ashtabula
+and Summit counties. Mr. Giddings spoke as follows:
+“Gentlemen, officers and soldiers. Before entering
+upon the particular duty assigned me on the present
+occasion, I may be permitted to congratulate you
+and the country, upon the completion of your regimental
+organization and the perfection of your preparation
+for the field. I desire you at all times to bear in
+mind the causes which led to its formation. The present
+rebellion has its origin far back in history. Its first
+overt acts were put forth in Congress by subjecting the
+people of the free States to gag rules, by striking down
+the right of petition, by arraigning and publicly censuring
+Representatives for the faithful discharge of duty, by
+annexing, unconstitutionally, slave territory, and extending
+and strengthening the encroachments of slavery. To
+these violent encroachments upon the constitutional
+rights of the free States, this Western Reserve has from
+the first, presented a very general resistance....</p>
+
+<p>“The ladies have prepared a splendid National and
+regimental stand of colors, and have imposed on me the
+pleasing duty of presenting them to the regiment. In
+all past ages civilized nations have gone forth to war
+under their own banner, on which was inscribed some
+device, figure, or emblem, peculiar to such nation.
+Thus each tribe among the Israelites had its particular
+banner. The early Christians fought under the cross,
+the Romans under the golden eagle, the Mohammedans
+under the crescent. The founders of our government
+selected for their colors a groundwork of blue, representing<span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">[23]</span>
+immutable justice and unlimited power, on which
+the stars, representing light, are twinkling in the vaulted
+heavens, while in mid ether the bird of Jove is floating,
+a fitting representation of the ease and power with which
+liberty and civilization are gliding over the earth; while
+the stars and stripes of red and white represent the vital
+principles and purity of our institutions.</p>
+
+<p>[Addressing Colonel Buckley]: “To you, sir, as
+commander, I present these beautiful standards, for the
+use and benefit of the regiment. On behalf of the fair
+donors I confide these National and regimental standards
+to the care of yourself, your gallant officers and
+men. Wherever you go let them be borne aloft and respected
+as the emblem of universal freedom to all who
+seek your protection. Preserve them unstained, except
+by the blood of your enemies. Bear in mind that you
+go forth to fight the battles of the human race for all
+coming time; and should the roar of cannon, the rattling
+of muskets, the clashing of sabres, the din and
+smoke of battle surround you, remember the cause in
+which you are engaged, and be assured that if you fall,
+we who are left will care for your widows and children.
+Your own heroic deeds shall be enshrined in our memories,
+recorded in our history, admired by coming generations,
+and approved by a holy and just God.”</p>
+
+<p>Colonel Buckley replied: “Respected Sir&mdash;I receive
+this stand of colors in behalf of the Twenty-ninth
+regiment. I return through you to the noble and
+patriotic ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties their
+grateful thanks; and whenever and wherever it is unfurled
+to the breeze, and we look upon its stars and
+stripes, may we then remember the generous donors and
+the vow we this day make. This flag, the flag of our
+country, which has been our pride and our boast, and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">[24]</span>
+which is respected by all civilized nations; this flag,
+thank God, shall yet wave triumphantly wherever it has
+been struck down by the ruthless arm of the traitors:
+and, companions, whenever we look upon this beautiful
+flag may it inspire us to redouble our energies to do our
+duty to our beloved country, and if God in his providence
+permits us to return to home and kindred, may
+this flag come back with us to bear witness that the
+Twenty-ninth regiment Ohio volunteers was in the
+thickest of the fight.</p>
+
+<p>“Sir, you have spoken in high commendation of my
+command. I can assure you I feel myself honored in
+having command of such a regiment. It will be my
+pride and ambition, with my fellow-officers to make it in
+all things pertaining to a well drilled and well disciplined
+regiment, one of the best in Ohio. And now, fellow-soldiers,
+in the presence of this assembly, and before
+high heaven, we swear upon the altar of our country to
+defend this flag so long as there shall be one true heart
+and strong arm to hold it to the breeze.”</p>
+
+<p>At last the “boys’” impatience to go anywhere but
+here, was gratified by an order to move to Camp Chase,
+near Columbus, Ohio, the date December 25th; and
+right here it may not be amiss to give an extract from
+an editorial in the Ashtabula Sentinel, as showing what
+the people of Jefferson thought of the regiment:</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot">
+<p>“They leave Jefferson with the respect and esteem of
+our citizens as an orderly and well behaved body of men.
+They have been over three months within our quiet village,
+during which time no disturbance has occurred and
+no depredations have been committed. They have
+proved themselves honorable men, the best evidence that
+they will be brave soldiers. When they are heard from
+in the fight we have no fears of a bad account.”</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>The Departure from Camp Giddings&mdash;At the Front&mdash;Death of Lander&mdash;Advance
+up the Valley&mdash;Winchester.</small></p>
+
+<p>Christmas morning, 1861, dawned clear, with the
+earth bountifully covered with snow, and soon the busy
+preparations for this the first march were apparent everywhere.
+Knapsacks were packed, tents were struck, and
+the camp equipage snugly put into shape for transportation
+to Ashtabula, and at 10 o’clock the drums beat off. Then
+the regiment filed out of the enclosure, bidding a
+fond good-bye, many for the last time, to the old camp,
+up through the town, where everybody was waiting to
+wish the “boys” God speed. “Head of column left,”
+and the Twenty-ninth regiment was en-route for Ashtabula
+and the front, followed by the prayers of fathers,
+mothers, brothers, sisters, and sweethearts, that its every
+effort might be crowned with success, and that, if heaven
+so willed, all might return safely to the arms of loved
+ones, “when the cruel war was over.” How beautiful
+they looked in their new uniform, and how gaily the
+bayonets glistened in the bright sunlight as each man
+kept step to the music.</p>
+
+<p>Arriving at Ashtabula, the regiment took cars, and
+was soon whirling rapidly towards Columbus, where it
+arrived the following day.</p>
+
+<p>On disembarking from the cars, a march of four miles
+on the National pike to the west brought the regiment to
+Camp Chase, where it was assigned to barracks, and the
+sweets (?) of soldier life began to be more perceptible.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_35">[35]</span>
+While lying here, the regiment attended the inauguration
+of David Tod as Governor of Ohio, and perfected itself
+in the school of the soldier. On the 26th day of January,
+1862, the long roll again sounded; the Twenty-ninth
+regiment fell in, and marched to the depot, a distance
+of four miles. It took cars, and steamed away for
+Dixie, passing through Newark and Zanesville, and
+across the Ohio river at Bellair, thence via the Baltimore
+&amp; Ohio railroad through the mountains of West Virginia
+to a point some six miles below Cumberland, Maryland,
+where it made its first camp in Dixie. There it was assigned
+to the left flank of the Third brigade (the Seventh
+Ohio volunteer infantry occupying the right), Colonel E.
+B. Tyler commanding, and here it may be well to state
+that from this time until the Seventh regiment was discharged
+the service (July 8, 1864), the two regiments
+occupied the same position, engaged in the same battles,
+and endured an equal amount of the hard service incident
+to the several campaigns. The Twenty-ninth remained
+in active service for nearly a year after the
+discharge of its well-bred friends of the Seventh and
+until the collapse of the Rebellion. This for the benefit
+of those who imagine that only one regiment was recruited
+in Northern Ohio.</p>
+
+<p>On February 5, 1862, a general movement was ordered
+to entrap the forces of Stonewall Jackson, then occupying
+Romney. The Twenty-ninth and its brigade took
+cars to French’s store, and marched some twenty miles
+to a point between Romney and Winchester to intercept
+the retreat of the rebels. The attempt was futile, however,
+as those whom the federals sought had flown ere
+the designated point was reached. This march was a
+terrible one, and told heavily on the men, many of whom
+succumbed to disease incident to exposure to the intense<span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">[36]</span>
+cold, the fording of streams whose icy waters were often
+waist deep, and the general hardships, were sent to hospital
+at Cumberland, and never returned to duty. Returning
+the following day, the regiment bivouacked at a
+point some eight miles from the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad,
+known as Pine Levels or the Heights of Hampshire.
+Here it remained some ten days exposed to the
+intense cold, without tents, few blankets, on short rations,
+and no cooking utensils. Rude brush enclosures were
+constructed, which served the same purpose as Artemus
+Ward’s window sash, sort of “tangle the cold” or “keep
+out the coarsest.” It was by the greatest effort that the
+men were kept from freezing. This sort of thing seemed
+a pretty tough introduction to the “Sunny South,” but
+hardships of this kind became the normal experience of
+the Twenty-ninth regiment, and the sunny spots which
+occasionally intervened were duly appreciated.</p>
+
+<p>The next move was to the eastward to Paw Paw station
+on the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad, near which the
+Twenty-ninth and its brigade went into camp. February
+22d, Washington’s birthday, was duly observed. A
+general review was indulged in. The streets were prettily
+trimmed with evergreens; and arches, and other
+pretty devices were numerous. The Twenty-ninth were
+domiciled in small and nearly worn out wall tents.</p>
+
+<p>On Saturday, March 1st, as the shades of evening
+were falling, the Twenty-ninth and its command marched
+with two days’ rations, in the direction of Winchester,
+Virginia, the object being the capture of that important
+point. After an all night’s march the command halted,
+and, in a blinding snow storm, waited for further orders.
+At 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> a counter-march was ordered, and at
+about midnight the old camp at Paw Paw was reached.
+The object of this move was to attend the remains of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">[37]</span>
+brave General Lander to the cars, which was accomplished
+on the following day. All the troops in the vicinity
+were present. At 9 o’clock on the morning of Saturday,
+March 8th, the command struck tents and
+marched to the railroad; at night took cars and moved
+in the direction of Martinsburg, en route for Winchester.
+Some two or three days were occupied in reaching
+the former place, as extreme caution was necessary. A
+burned bridge at Back creek stopped further steam locomotion,
+and on the 11th the command moved forward
+through Martinsburg, encamping some two miles out on
+the Winchester road. Here General James Shields, of
+some celebrity in the Mexican war, assumed command
+of the division, and the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania
+infantry volunteers was added to the brigade.
+The following morning the column continued the forward
+movement, under orders to join General Banks, in
+his attack on Winchester. The rebels retreated, and
+Shields’ division went into camp to the north of Winchester,
+some four miles out on the Martinsburg pike.</p>
+
+<p>When the rebels first occupied Virginia General Johnston
+(commanding the extreme left of Beauregard’s army)
+took possession of Winchester. Troops from here destroyed
+the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad and constantly
+harrassed our forces in the direction of Harper’s Ferry
+and Cumberland. It was of great importance that the
+Union arms gain and hold possession of this point,
+hence the concentration of Federal troops in this
+vicinity.</p>
+
+<p>Skirmishing with the enemy was a daily occurrence,
+and, on the morning of March 20th, a reconnoissance in
+force was made up the valley to Strasburg. General
+Shields, with the Twenty-ninth and its brigade, numbering
+some six thousand men, moved direct to that point,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">[38]</span>
+while Colonel Mason’s brigade advanced on the Front
+Royal road. At Cedar creek a lively artillery duel
+transpired, during which the rebels succeeded in burning
+the bridge. The following morning the entire command
+fell back to its camp below Winchester. This was a march
+which tested the men’s power of endurance to its utmost.
+The rain fell lightly but continuously during the
+day. For rations the men had barely one cracker each,
+and yet they made the entire distance&mdash;twenty-two
+miles&mdash;in seven hours, halting only a few minutes about
+noon.</p>

+<p class="center"><small>The Battle of Winchester or Kernstown&mdash;Stonewall Jackson Whipped.</small></p>
+
+<p>At Kernstown, some four miles south of Winchester,
+Jackson’s command, numbering fully fifteen thousand
+men, was massed, and on March 22d attacked the Union
+outposts. The citizens of Winchester, who, by the way,
+were about as thoroughly imbued with treason as at any
+point within the writer’s knowledge in the whole of the
+chivalrous (?) South, were in high glee at the prospect of
+being rid of those odious Lincoln hirelings, and some
+were so sanguine of success to the Southern arms that
+they prepared elegant repasts for the victors. However
+that may be, the rebel horde did not enter Winchester
+at this time, except, perhaps, a few dead ones carried
+there for burial.</p>
+
+<p>Soon after the firing began the First and Second
+brigades of General Shields’ division were moved to the
+front, and a lively skirmish ensued resulting in the repulse
+of the enemy. General Shields was wounded
+quite severely during this brief engagement, and at night,
+when active hostilities ceased, he retired to Winchester.
+The dawn of Sunday, March 23d, was heralded by the
+rapid boom of artillery and the lively rattle of musketry,
+as the advance of the two armies resumed the skirmishing
+of the previous afternoon. This was continued during
+nearly the entire forenoon. About noon the long
+roll beat throughout our camp; quickly the men fell into
+line, and in columns of fours, under command of brave
+Colonel Buckley, marched rapidly, a portion of the distance<span class="pagenum" id="Page_40">[40]</span>
+at a double quick, toward the point of attack.
+On reaching Winchester the regiment halted, came to a
+front, loaded their pieces, and remained until the artillery
+and trains had passed. We then moved on the road
+leading to Kernstown, some two or three miles, and
+again halted. After some vexatious delay the regiment
+again resumed the march and soon reached the scene of
+the action, which was about seven miles from Winchester.
+The enemy were under General Thomas J. Jackson
+(Stonewall). His right extending across the Pike leading
+to Strasburg, and his forces on his left masked behind
+a stone fence, while at the rear for a considerable distance
+the ground was a gradual ascent covered with stumps
+and wood which were well used as cover. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment and its brigade was moved to the extreme
+right of the line, and, formed in close column, by
+division, moved forward through the timber to the attack.
+At close range the rebels opened a heavy fire, but
+we continued to advance, halting at a small ravine where
+we deployed in line of battle, and in this position a sharp
+and determined engagement ensued. The distance
+between the opposing forces did not exceed sixteen
+rods. Late in the afternoon an order was given the
+Third brigade to charge the rebel line. Quick as thought
+the whole line sprang forward, and with cheers sounding
+above the roar of the conflict, in the teeth of a murderous
+fire, swept down over the stone wall and at the bayonet’s
+point drove the enemy from their chosen position.
+To the rear they fled until reaching their artillery, where
+another stand was made and a rally attempted. The
+Union lead poured into their ranks with such deadly effect
+that they soon became panic-stricken, and in the
+greatest disorder retreated in whatever direction best
+offered an avenue of escape, and Stonewall Jackson, the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_41">[41]</span>
+pride of the South and by many considered the bravest
+general in the rebel army, was whipped, and that, too, by
+a force much inferior in numbers, many of whom had
+never faced death before.</p>
+
+<p>To make the victory still more sure our forces followed
+the disordered mass of fleeing rebels and captured many
+prisoners, until darkness closed over all, when our brave
+boys returned to rest upon their laurels upon the bloody
+field of carnage, bury the dead and care for the wounded.
+The result of this battle was a loss to the rebels of
+the Shenandoah valley, at that time of great importance
+to them, with casualties amounting to some five hundred
+men killed, wounded, and left on the field, and three
+hundred prisoners. The loss of the Twenty-ninth regiment
+in this action was: Five killed, seven wounded,
+two missing; aggregate fourteen. See casualties at the
+close of the volume for names.</p>

+Royal&mdash;March to Waynesboro.</small></p>
+
+<p>At early dawn on the morning of March 24th the
+Union army pushed forward in pursuit of the retreating
+rebels. The Twenty-ninth deployed as skirmishes in
+the advance. Many wounded Confederates were found
+in private houses along the line of march. About noon
+the dashing rebel cavalry officer Ashby came from cover
+and suddenly swooped down upon the regiment with
+a heavy cavalry force. Rallying by companies and
+forming squares, a well directed volley soon sent
+the rebels in haste to the rear. The pursuit of
+the fleeing rebels was continued until nightfall, when
+the regiment went into bivouac near Cedar creek. The
+next morning (25th) our columns again pushed forward
+until reaching a point a little in advance of Strasburg,
+where a halt was ordered and a camp (Kimball), established.
+Here we remained for some time, making frequent
+raids into the surrounding country and skirmishing
+almost daily with the enemy.</p>
+
+<p>April 1st the regiment again moved after the retreating
+army, and about daylight on the following morning
+indulged in some artillery firing with the rebel rear
+guards. During the month of April the regiment
+marched up the valley as far as Newmarket, passing the
+towns of Woodstock and Mount Jackson. At the latter
+place a hospital was established, and companies G and
+E were detailed for provost, and other duties, in and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">[43]</span>
+around Mount Jackson, while the remainder of the regiment
+moved up the valley to Camp Thurburn and continued
+the usual picket, camp, and guard duties.</p>
+
+<p>May 3d left camp and marched up the valley in the
+direction of Harrisburg; halted about three miles from

+from near the town of Harrisburg and went into camp
+four miles above Newmarket, where the regiment remained
+until the 12th day of May, when it left the
+Shenandoah valley at Newmarket on the long march to
+Fredericksburg, marched to Luray, and encamped for
+the night (marched eighteen miles). Thirteenth, moved

+at 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> we were ordered to move. This was

+
+<p class="center"><small>Battle of Port Republic&mdash;The Twenty-ninth Suffer Great Loss.</small></p>
+
+<p>On June 9th, in the dim light of early morning the
+enemy began to move, and soon our artillery opened a
+brisk fire on them. The Twenty-ninth regiment, under
+command of Colonel Buckley, was ordered to fall in,
+and at 6:45 o’clock marched out of the timber into the
+open field, and moved forward a short distance, when
+the men unslung knapsacks and other equipage and,
+reduced to light marching order, advanced by the right
+flank, and when near the rebel position came into line
+on the double quick. While doing so we were obliged
+to pass a board fence; and at this critical time the rebels
+opened a heavy fire of musketry, but the regiment
+moved steadily forward and took position in the open
+field. The rebels in front of our right wing were behind
+a strong post and rail fence.</p>
+
+<p>From the base of the mountain to the Shenandoah
+river was about one-half mile. The extreme left of our
+line extended into the timber and near the base of the
+mountain with the right flank extending to the river.
+The Fifth, Sixty-sixth and Seventh Ohio regiments were
+on our left, and the Seventh Virginia, Seventh, Thirteenth
+and Fourteenth Indiana on our right. The Twenty-ninth
+being about the right center regiment during the
+battle, and at this time in support of Huntington’s battery,
+which was belching forth its shot and shell, doing
+deadly execution in the ranks of the advancing rebels.
+When in close range the rebels charged. Reserving our<span class="pagenum" id="Page_47">[47]</span>
+fire until they were almost upon us, the order was given,
+and with a yell the entire line poured its leaden hail
+into the gray clad columns of the chivalry, producing
+fearful slaughter, and following with a charge so impetuous
+that they were forced to retire from their secure position
+behind the fence, and here, for more than three
+hours and a half, our brave fellows, though outnumbered
+ten to one by the enemy and fighting against fate, kept
+them at bay and held the position. During this charge
+it is said that Allen Mason, of company C, Twenty-ninth
+regiment, captured the colors of the Seventh
+Louisiana Tigers, and Lieutenant Gregory and a part of
+company F made prisoners of twenty-five of the same
+regiment. At last the little handful, who had so gallantly
+contended against such fearful odds, were forced
+to retire. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved to the rear,
+perhaps an eighth of a mile, and came to a halt, holding
+the rebel forces in check until the entire Union forces
+had passed to the rear. In the meantime the rebels had
+opened fire upon us with a battery at close range, which
+did fearful execution in our rapidly decimating ranks.
+When all our troops had passed, our regiment faced to
+the right and moved obliquely into the timber; the rebels
+in the meantime passed down the road and we were
+nearly surrounded, and now, for a distance of nearly
+two miles occurred a desperate struggle for freedom.
+The men fought with the desperation born of despair.
+Brave old Colonel Buckley (who before beginning the
+day’s business addressed the regiment, saying: “Aim
+low, men, and at every shot let a traitor fall!”) on
+foot, his own and one other horse having been disabled
+by a shot, rallied the men, and with sword in hand with
+them succeeded in cutting their way through the cordon
+of gray devils almost surrounding them, and escaped to<span class="pagenum" id="Page_48">[48]</span>
+the mountains near, where some one hundred men of the
+different regiments of the Third brigade, with Colonel
+Buckley at their head, bivouacked for the night. The
+small remainder of the regiment, except those killed,
+wounded or captured, succeeded in reaching the main
+army. Captain Baldwin says that those who reached the
+main army of the Twenty-ninth regiment numbered only
+thirteen officers and men.</p>
+
+<p>The night succeeding this eventful day of blood and
+carnage was spent amid the gloom and darkness of the
+forest. The men gathered about their brave commander
+as if to shield him from the damps of night, their
+thoughts turning meanwhile to the absent comrades,
+many of whom, how many they knew not, were lying,
+still and ghastly, upon the bloody field, a sacrifice to the
+incompetency of the general commanding. The day
+following, the little band began its weary march to the
+rear, seeking shelter at night in some unused furnace
+buildings. The next day they came in sight of the rear
+guard of the retreating army, where they found the small
+remnant of the Twenty-ninth, who had escaped death or
+capture, and who, when they saw their beloved colonel
+alive and well, fairly rent the very heavens above with
+their glad shouts of welcome.</p>
+
+<p>The number of the Union army engaged in this battle
+was some twenty-five hundred, and could form but one
+line of battle, while Stonewall Jackson’s official report
+shows his army to have numbered some <em>thirty-four thousand</em>.
+The Twenty-ninth regiment lost heavily in this
+battle. The aggregate was: Killed, 12; wounded, 33;
+captured, 105; total, 150.</p>
+
+<p>After the battle the Twenty-ninth regiment moved
+down the valley to Luray, where the command encamped
+for a few days’ rest, then forward to Front Royal, and on<span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">[49]</span>
+to Alexandria, reaching that point on June 27th, encamping
+on a rise of ground immediately adjacent to
+the line of fortifications. The Third brigade was now
+composed of the Seventh, Fifth, Sixty-sixth, and Twenty-ninth
+Ohio regiments, in the order named. General
+Shields having resigned by reason of McDowell’s misrepresentations
+in relation to the ill-advised battle of
+Port Republic, General Sturgis, who has recently received
+so much adverse criticism through the press of
+the country, for his brutal and inhuman treatment of his
+men, was placed temporarily in command. After lying
+at this point for nearly one month orders were received
+to move to the aid of General McClellan on the Peninsula,
+and we embarked on transports, but the order
+was countermanded and the Third brigade marched
+back to its old camp.</p>
+
+<p>July 25th we were ordered to join the force of General
+Pope, then marching via Warrenton to the Rapidan
+river. Proceeding by rail to the former point the brigade
+was reorganized and attached to Banks’ Second
+corps, afterwards changed to the Twelfth army corps, as
+the First brigade of General Augur’s Second division.
+After a few days of “masterly inactivity” we marched
+in the direction of Luray. Debouching to the left on
+the road leading southward toward the Rapidan, we soon
+reached Little Washington and went into camp. While
+here the troops were reviewed by Generals Pope and
+Banks, who complimented our brigade very highly upon
+its perfection in drill and discipline. General Tyler was
+here ordered to Washington, and Brigadier-general John
+W. Geary, late colonel of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+infantry volunteers, was placed in command of our
+brigade. His regiment and Knapp’s battery were also<span class="pagenum" id="Page_50">[50]</span>
+assigned to the brigade. A forward movement in the
+direction of Culpeper Court House, Virginia (on the
+Rapidan), was begun on August 8th. Here the Confederates
+were preparing defences, and at Cedar Mountain,
+some seven miles to the southwest of our position,
+they were strongly fortified.</p>

+<p class="center"><small>Cedar Mountain&mdash;Battle&mdash;Severe Loss of Life&mdash;Forward to Alexandria.</small></p>
+
+<p>August 8th, the regiment moved at 2 o’clock, advanced
+to Culpeper Court House, and went into camp; and
+at 10:40, on the morning of August 9th, moved forward
+in the direction of Cedar mountain. Halted a short
+time, and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment was
+sent to the right on an eminence as signal guard. The
+remainder of the brigade soon advanced, halting at
+intervals, as the day was insufferably hot (several men
+died this day of sunstroke). At last, passing through a
+piece of timber, we approached the open field with a
+rolling country in our front, and at 1:30, while making
+preparations for dinner (near a fine spring of water),
+skirmishing and artillery firing was heard on our right,
+which continued at intervals until 3:45, when the rebels
+appeared in heavy force, ready for battle, and the Union
+lines were formed without delay. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment (commanded by Captain W. F. Stevens, of
+Company B,) was ordered to advance and take position
+in rear of a battery which had been placed on a ridge.
+Here the regiment took position, the right resting on
+the road, and the left extending into the field, covered
+from the enemy by the hill on which the battery
+was placed. The Twenty-ninth, with other regiments of
+the brigade, was about on the right of the left wing of
+the line in open field, while the right wing extended
+across the road, and into the timber. The regiment<span class="pagenum" id="Page_52">[52]</span>
+remained in this position, supporting the battery, and
+receiving a heavy fire from the rebel artillery in our front.
+Here several men were wounded.</p>
+
+<p>At 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, we moved over the crest of the
+hill, to a cornfield some distance in advance of our previous
+position. During the advance to this new position
+a terrific cannonade opened on us, dealing great destruction
+to our ranks. Apparently every cannon of the
+enemy was let loose against us, but we never faltered in
+this march of death, despite the terrible missiles that
+were tearing through our bleeding ranks. Comrades
+were falling, and brothers dying. The mangled and
+bleeding victims of the fury and violence of war were left
+thick around us, making the ground sacred on which
+they fell; but we wavered not. Reaching a low piece
+of ground, we halted, and were ordered to lie down
+and continue firing. We remained for one hour in the
+open field, exposed to this furious storm of grape and
+canister, shot and shell. Comrades gave up their lives
+so gently that it was scarce possible to tell the living
+from the dead. The fatal missile struck the victim,
+leaving the lifeless clay in the same attitude which the
+living body occupied. During the fatal period death
+assumed a real character while life seemed but a dream.
+The engagement had now become general. The brigade
+of General Prince came up, and formed on the left of
+our regiment. The Sixty-sixth, Fifth, and Seventh Ohio
+regiments were formed on our right, in the order named.
+(The Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment was not with
+us in this engagement.)</p>
+
+<p>At a given signal the brigade arose and, with defiant
+yells, rushed forward to the charge. Prince’s brigade on
+the left moved forward with us. A sheet of flame and
+smoke burst forth from rebel batteries, musketry replied<span class="pagenum" id="Page_53">[53]</span>
+to musketry, bayonet clashed with bayonet, and cheers
+rang out against cheers, as one side or the other gained
+the advantage in this deadly conflict. Daring warmed
+into rashness, and bravery into recklessness. Hurrah!
+we force them back, their line is broken, a battery is
+almost within our grasp; when in this moment of seeming
+certain victory, fresh columns of rebel infantry rush
+upon us on the double-quick, masked batteries open on
+us at the same moment a most furious enfilading fire,
+causing our brave boys to reel and stagger. An
+order comes for us to retire, when three-fourths of our
+regiment have been placed out of the fight&mdash;dead or
+wounded. Slowly and sadly the remaining few obey the
+order, keeping our faces to the foe until fresh troops
+arrive to take our places, when we resume our position
+in the reserve near Telegraph hill. Each regiment of
+the brigade had done nobly, but all alike had suffered
+a loss so great that the four regiments together could
+not show a respectable facing front for one regiment.
+As night settled over the field of carnage and of death
+our entire army corps withdrew to the position it held
+early in the day, but our artillery kept up a desultory
+firing, with but short intervals during the night.</p>
+
+<p>The casualties of this battle were: Killed, 11;
+wounded, 26; missing, 12. Total, 49.</p>
+
+<p>Private George Williams, company F, came off the
+field with his third gun&mdash;two having been shot from his
+hands.</p>
+
+<p>During August 10th and 11th skirmishing continued.
+In the afternoon of the last-named day the 29th regiment
+was inspected. Adjutant Storer reported eighty-three
+men only present for duty.</p>
+
+<p>The Union army remained on the field three days,
+retiring, on August 12th, to Culpeper Court House,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_54">[54]</span>
+where it encamped. Our pickets, going over the battle
+field on the 13th, reported that dead horses were piled
+in promiscuous positions; dismounted cannons, wrecked
+caissons, and broken firearms were everywhere, while
+the graves of the fallen, singly and in trenches, were
+scattered over the entire field, only the freshly heaped
+up earth marking the spots. In one spot were the
+unburied bodies of a boy in blue and one in gray, their
+arms interlocked as their brave souls went out to the
+God who gave them, the one for the right, the other, it
+is hoped, forgiven for his misguided championship of
+the wrong.</p>
+
+<p>Twelfth, marched to Culpeper Court House, and went
+into camp. 13th, put up tents and prepared to live.
+14th, and all is quiet. 15th, another inspection and review.
+There is one consolation if we do have inspection
+every other day, there are so few men left that but
+little time is consumed in doing so. 16th, 17th, and
+18th, still in camp; was inspected again, and at 6 o’clock
+on the evening of the latter day, struck tents under
+orders to march; slept on our arms that night. 19th,
+marched at 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, north to the Rappahannock, a distance
+of eleven miles, and went into camp. Had only
+a small quantity of green corn to eat. 20th, all quiet in
+camp. 21st, at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> firing began, and was kept up
+along the line all day; at 7 in the evening the regiment,
+under command of Captain Schoonover, marched two
+miles and halted; company H was sent forward to the
+picket line, and the regiment moved at 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> along
+the Rappahannock; halted at 9:30; after a brief rest the
+regiment again fell in, and marched till 12 at noon without
+breakfast; sharp firing along the line; halted until
+6 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>; moved up the Rappahannock river
+two miles, halted, stacked arms, and remained up nearly<span class="pagenum" id="Page_55">[55]</span>
+all night; (rainy) no tents or blankets, made our bed
+of rails. Saturday, August 23d, at 6 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the
+artillery opened fire, and continued until 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>;
+remained on our arms all day; at 10 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>
+moved a short distance up the river, and the Twenty-ninth
+went on picket. 24th, and all is quiet; at 9:30
+<span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the artillery commenced firing, which was kept up
+continually during the day. 25th, artillery and musketry
+firing all along the line; at 8 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the Twenty-ninth
+with its brigade moved up the river four miles and
+camped for the night. 26th, no rations for breakfast,
+but after a short time some green corn was procured,
+which filled the bill. At 8 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the artillery dueling again
+commenced and was kept up the remainder of the day.
+The Twenty-ninth regiment moved one-half mile for
+shelter, remained here until 9 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when it marched
+forward until 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, of the 27th; halted, moved
+forward a distance of three miles, and again halted. At
+1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, moved in the direction of Warrenton
+Junction, and camped for the night (no rations for supper
+or breakfast). On the morning of the 28th day of
+August, the regiment moved at 5 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, marched three
+miles and halted, drew rations and moved on in the
+direction of Bristow station, and camped for the night.
+Heavy firing in our advance all day. 29th, remained in
+camp, about two miles above Bristow station. 30th,
+marched at 6 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> and halted at Bristow station,
+and remained till 5 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when the enemy was
+reported in our rear. The sick and disabled were moved
+to Alexandria and other points. August 31st, teams and
+trains containing camp and garrison equipage and other
+army supplies, were moved in the direction of Fairfax
+Court House.</p>
+
+<p>During the campaign under Major-general Pope from<span class="pagenum" id="Page_56">[56]</span>
+August 20th until the regiment reached Alexandria on
+the 2d day of September, 1862, it was one continuous
+march and counter-march, by day and night, moving up
+the Rappahannock as far as White Sulphur Springs. On
+the 29th and 30th of August near the Bull Run battle
+ground. A very hard battle was fought, in which the
+Nationals were forced from the field, and again late in
+the afternoon on the 1st day of September at Chantilly,
+a short distance from Fairfax Court House, a sanguinary
+battle was fought, which continued late in the evening.
+In this last engagement the Nationals held the field at
+night, and on the 2d the Union army fell back within
+the fortifications around Washington city. During the
+last two or three days of the above campaign the Twenty-ninth
+regiment was completely cut off from the main
+army, as it had been ordered to guard the quartermaster
+stores with other government property on the railroad
+at and near Bristow station, and when ordered to join its
+brigade it found the enemy in the rear, so that it was
+only by a circuitous route in the direction of Brintsville,
+and a forced march that it reached the Chantilly battlefield
+during the engagement, on September 1st.
+Here it bivouacked for the night, and on the following
+day marched to Arlington heights, via Alexandria, where
+it went into camp.</p>
+
+<p>During the last twelve days of the campaign the
+Twenty-ninth suffered severely for rations and rest, it
+being on the march, under fire, and on the skirmish line
+the entire time. When we reached Fairfax station, on
+the platform of the depot we found an immense table
+upon which our wounded boys were being subjected to
+the ofttimes bungling butchery of ignorant alleged
+surgeons, a number of whom were busily engaged in
+depriving the poor fellows under their charge of wounded<span class="pagenum" id="Page_57">[57]</span>
+legs and arms, and in many cases hastening their death
+thereby. This worse than murder by men, the majority
+of whom, when at home, had never even witnessed a
+capital operation, cannot be too highly condemned.
+(The writer is personally acquainted with professional
+men of this sort, who came out of the service first-class
+carvers, but the number of brave fellows sacrificed to
+bring about this state of proficiency is unknown.) It
+was now ascertained that the Confederate army of
+General Lee was making rapid marches towards Maryland.
+To checkmate this movement our columns were
+at once ordered on a retrograde movement in the direction
+of Washington. Reaching Alexandria, we passed
+up the Potomac, crossing at the long bridge, and moving
+forward to Georgetown where a halt of one day was
+made, the command departing the following morning
+for Frederick City, Maryland, which was said to be occupied
+by the rebels. A day’s march brought us beyond
+Rockville, Maryland, where we encamped for the night.
+At 2 o’clock, on the afternoon of September 5th, the
+regiment marched to Monocacy Junction, where the
+rebels had a short time previous destroyed the railroad
+bridge.</p>

+
+<p>The regiment remained at Monocacy junction, guarding
+the immense supply trains which had accumulated
+here by reason of the burned bridge. Sergeant Baldwin
+relates that a lot of rebel prisoners passed Monocacy
+bridge, one of whom claimed to have fired seven
+shots at Colonel Buckley at the battle of Port Republic,
+but without effect. About September 13th, the bridge
+having been replaced, we moved on to Frederick city,
+Maryland. Here we engaged in camp, picket, and provost
+duty, and a large number of the men were detailed
+to care for the wounded from the battlefields of South
+Mountain and Antietam, September 14th and 17th.</p>
+
+<p>In the meantime we were joined by a large number of
+recruits, amongst which was a brigade cornet band, composed
+of the following members: George Shaw, leader;
+Everett Shaw, assistant leader; J. G. Caskey, Jacob
+Koplin, Sylvanus Hile, Columbus Ferguson, N. G.
+Hartman, Christian Hardag, William Kurtz, George
+Metcalf, James Lyon, “Bige” Nickerson, Benjamin
+Snyder, George Turney, Micajah Rice, Bennett Wadsworth,
+Edward White, Frank Waltz, Eli Waltz; Gurley
+G. Crane, drum major.</p>
+
+<p>November 25th, Colonel Clark says: “Patiently
+waiting in camp. ‘Dress parade’ to-day, the first many
+of us have seen since May last. Only about two hundred
+men in line. Remembering how far our line
+reached at Camp Giddings, our force looks small indeed.”</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_59">[59]</span></p>
+
+<p>November 27th. “Cold and raw. A fierce gale
+makes our canvas houses rock like cradles. We are
+now having an easy time; that is all but the men and the
+mules. Our men go on duty every other day. As to
+rations, don’t think any of us will get the gout.”</p>
+
+<p>November 27th. “Thanksgiving.&mdash;‘Distance lends
+enchantment,’ etc., to turkeys, chickens, pies, and fixin’s
+that make good cheer at home. Well, some of us
+are thankful&mdash;that we are here instead of being locked
+up in those dirty rebel prisons. Nine of our officers and
+a large number of our men have just been released.
+This inactivity is irksome to the volunteer who has
+business at home needing his attention. We hardly
+think Burnside will reach Richmond via Fredericksburg
+unless he goes as some of us did&mdash;as prisoners.”</p>
+
+<p>On the 10th day of December, 1862, the regiment
+struck tents at Frederick City, Maryland, and moved by
+cars in the direction of Harper’s Ferry. At Sandy
+Hook a halt was made for the night; slept in freight
+cars; suffered severely from cold. The following day
+marched at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> About noon crossed the Potomac
+and Shenandoah rivers into Virginia; marched about nine
+miles and camped for the night. Twelfth, marched at 3
+<span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> some nine miles and went into camp. Thirteenth,
+moved at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, marched twelve miles, halted for dinner,
+passed through Leesburg, and camped for the night.
+Fourteenth, marched at sunrise, passed through Fairfax
+Court House to the station, where we encamped.
+Fifteenth, marched till about 4 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, crossed Broad run
+and encamped for the night. Sixteenth, marched four
+miles in rain, snow, and mud; at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> halted for dinner;
+had a fight with a Pennsylvania regiment over some
+rails that had been collected from the fence. These we
+used for wood occasionally in preparing our meals.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_60">[60]</span></p>
+
+<p>[It] is perhaps unnecessary to mention that the Twenty-ninth
+boys enjoyed good fires to-day. In the afternoon
+the Twenty-ninth went on picket one mile to the rear.
+Seventeenth, brigade counter-marched to Fairfax station,
+where it remained until the 19th, when it moved southeast
+about one and one-half miles to an orchard, where
+it encamped, and where it remained until the 27th,
+when it marched at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>; reached Broad run
+late in the evening. On the hill on the south side of
+the creek was a fort occupied by rebels; the Twenty-ninth
+crossed the creek, halted, loaded their guns, and
+advanced, and a red-hot little skirmish ensued at the
+close of which the rebels fell back. We went into the
+fort, sending two companies out in the road leading
+towards Dumfries as skirmishers. The regiment remained
+on arms all night; cold and frosty. Guns are
+not very warm bed-fellows. Twenty-eighth, marched at
+7:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, Twenty-ninth in advance of division. About
+10 o’clock met some rebel cavalry; the Twenty-ninth
+regiment deployed into line of battle, a few shots were
+fired, and the rebels fell back. One man wounded in
+company A. While in this position Generals Slocum,
+Geary, and Green came up; a battery was soon in position
+which sent a few shots after the retreating rebel
+cavalry. In the afternoon marched through the woods
+on right of road, in line of battle, while the division
+moved in the road; skirmishing the balance of the day.
+At dark we halted three miles from Dumfries and
+camped for the night. Twenty-ninth, reached Dumfries’
+about 10 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and went into camp on the side
+hill in the woods north of town.</p>
+
+<p>January 1, 1863, the regiment and its brigade remained
+at Dumfries, doing camp and picket duty, until
+January 16th, when it was ordered to march on two<span class="pagenum" id="Page_61">[61]</span>
+hours’ notice, did not march. On the 17th and 18th
+nothing transpired worthy of note. On the 19th the
+regiment passed in grand review by Colonel Charles
+Canby, of the Sixty-sixth Ohio infantry. January 27th,
+General Geary visited the regiment while on parade, and
+complimented us on our discipline, neat appearance, and
+soldierly deportment. February 2nd, Colonel L. P.
+Buckley, Adjutant T. S. Winship, Captain E. Burridge
+and Lieutenant Gregory, of company F, resigned and
+went home. Lieutenant J. B. Storer was made adjutant,
+and Sergeant H. R. Baldwin, of company F, promoted
+to captain. February 3d, Companies D and I
+were detached at Dumfries landing, on the Potomac,
+about four miles from camp, doing guard duty, unloading
+army supplies from boats, and loading the Second
+Division trains.</p>
+
+<p>On the 14th some musketry firing was heard in the
+direction of Brentsville.</p>
+
+<p>March 9th, Eli Waltz, of Company D, and a member
+of the brigade band, died.</p>
+
+<p>April 16th, Companies D and I moved from the landing,
+and joined the regiment.</p>
+
+<p>From the 29th day of December, 1862, the time when
+the Twenty-ninth regiment entered Dumfries, its duties
+were severe; the line of pickets was over three miles
+long, and over one mile from camp; and as the rebel
+cavalry were hovering around, the main roads entering
+Dumfries, were patroled at night. Our men suffered
+severely from cold and the protracted storms. In the
+meantime five companies were added to the brigade.
+The Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania originally had fifteen
+companies; five companies were added to the new recruits,
+and designated the One Hundred and Forty-seventh
+Pennsylvania, with Ario Pardee as colonel. Our<span class="pagenum" id="Page_62">[62]</span>
+first brigade now consists of the Twenty-ninth, Seventh,
+Fifth, and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments, and Twenty-eighth
+and One Hundred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania.</p>
+
+<p>The suffering our men endured during our stay at
+Dumfries from inclemency of the weather, the arduous
+service, and the scarcity of almost every necessity,
+cannot be easily over-estimated, and it might with propriety
+go into history as a counterpart of that much
+written about, and extensively illustrated affair “Washington
+at Valley Forge.”</p>
+
+<p>About the 20th day of April, 1863, with Colonel
+Clark in command, the Twenty-ninth regiment, with its
+brigade, left Dumfries, Virginia, and marched to Aqua
+creek, which place it reached two days later, and encamped
+about one mile from the Potomac river. Aqua
+creek is sixty miles below Washington on the river; it
+was used as a base for supplies, and a field hospital was
+soon established. The regiment with its brigade remained
+at this place performing the usual camp and garrison
+duty, building forts and, at the same time, doing its
+full share of picket duty. We are encamped on the hill
+overlooking the Potomac. To the north and west is a
+fine rolling country partly covered with pine timber and
+tangled undergrowth. All was quiet until orders were
+received to march; then what a bustle; haversacks were
+filled, each soldier furnished with sixty rounds of ammunition,
+and preparations made for “business.” At 7
+o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on the 27th day of April, the regiment fell
+into line and moved forward on the road leading to
+Kelleys ford via Stafford Court House and Hartwood
+church, reaching the Rappahannock river at Kelley’s
+ford late in the afternoon. The enemy was found in
+small force on the south bank of the river. Late in the
+evening the Sixty-sixth Ohio regiment crossed the river<span class="pagenum" id="Page_63">[63]</span>
+in a small boat capable of carrying but one company at
+a time. The regiment deployed as skirmishers, holding
+the enemy back until the division had all crossed when
+we bivouacked for the night. The next morning we
+marched at 5:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, the Twenty-ninth regiment in
+advance; passed through a low, level country, with
+heavy timber; halted at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> for dinner at a fine residence
+on a large plantation; fell in at 1:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> and
+moved in an easterly direction, reaching the Rapidan
+river late in the afternoon. The bridge had been destroyed,
+so that a crossing was not effected until in the
+evening, after which the Twenty-ninth camped for the
+night. 29th instant,&mdash;marched at 7:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> on the
+direct road to Chancellorsville. About 10 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>
+General Slocum came up and orders were received for
+the Twenty-ninth regiment to send out a line of skirmishers
+on the right of the road, which was done, the
+regiment passing through an open field and entering
+the timber, forcing the enemy back; marched on the
+flank through the woods and thick undergrowth for
+several miles, were then ordered to join the brigade.
+We reached Chancellorsville late in the afternoon of
+April 30th, where we found a small force of Confederate
+soldiers who were engaged in throwing up earthworks
+near the Chancellor house, at a point where the
+roads crossed, one leading to the United States ford,
+and the other to Fredericksburg. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment, with its brigade and division, were the first
+Union soldiers to enter the place. A number of prisoners
+were taken, and late in the evening the Twenty-ninth
+moved a short distance southwest from the main road
+and the Chancellor house into a piece of timber and
+bivouacked for the night.</p>

+Gettysburg.</small></p>
+
+<p>The morning of May 1st dawned upon a scene of bustle
+and active preparation for the bloody work which was
+to follow. Troops had been arriving during the entire
+night from the direction of the United States ford, and
+the light of early morning revealed an almost solid mass
+of blue-coated soldiers filling the open fields and woods
+in the vicinity of the Chancellor house. They were
+mainly from the Fifth, Eleventh, and Twelfth corps. At
+about 8 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> the Twenty-ninth, with its brigade
+and division, made a reconnoissance in force, and after
+marching about one-half mile the division formed in
+line of battle, and in this position was moved about the
+field until afternoon, when the lines were generally
+moved to the east through the timber, the right resting
+on the road. Moving perhaps half a mile we found
+the enemy in strong force, his artillery masked in
+the road. During this time some skirmishing and
+artillery firing was indulged in, and several of the
+Twenty-ninth were wounded. Late in the afternoon we
+moved to the rear under a heavy fire from the rebel
+artillery. Reaching the place we had left in the morning
+we set to work throwing up breastworks. The rebels
+advanced and our skirmishers kept up a rattling fire
+all night, while the regiment worked like beavers preparing
+the works for the coming conflict. The Second<span class="pagenum" id="Page_65">[65]</span>
+division, commanded by John W. Geary, occupied about
+the left center in the order of battle.</p>
+
+<p>During the evening of May 1st the Confederate army
+were charging the right of our lines, and for four hours
+the artillery firing on both sides was terrific. It continued
+at intervals the entire night. The air was ablaze
+and full of deadly missiles dealing destruction all around
+us; the earth trembled under our feet; the rattle and
+roar of artillery was like continued bursts of thunder.
+The heavens seemed on fire, revealing the deadly strife
+of two grand armies locked in close embrace, fighting
+with desperate valor. The dense smoke was lightened
+by rapid flashes of artillery, the bursting of shell, and the
+unceasing discharges of musketry, making a scene grand
+and terrible in the extreme. At midnight this deadly
+combat ceased, the death-like stillness which succeeded
+being broken only by the cries of the wounded and the
+dying comrades so recently beside us in deadly combat.
+About 1 o’clock at night pickets were posted forty yards
+from the main line. We were so near the rebel pickets
+we could hear every movement. Here we lay flat on
+the ground watching for demonstrations of the enemy
+until the dawning of another day of blood and death.
+In the first flush of early morning the rebels advanced
+with columns <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">en masse</i> and at once opened fire on us.
+This we returned and then quickly retired under a storm
+of leaden hail. Leaping over the rifle-pits we soon
+rejoined the command.</p>
+
+<p>The Twenty-ninth regiment now moved in a southwesterly
+direction along the line of works a short distance,
+in support of a New York regiment. While supporting
+this regiment the Twenty-ninth was under artillery fire
+from the right flank. Colonel Clark was struck by a
+shell, and rendered unconscious nearly two hours. The<span class="pagenum" id="Page_66">[66]</span>
+regiment again moved into its old position on the road
+south of the Chancellorsville house, where it remained
+under heavy fire of artillery and musketry, and in the
+afternoon our right flank was turned, and the Union
+army was soon forced back in the direction of the river,
+at Banks’ ford. When the Twenty-ninth fell back the
+rebels were in possession of the Chancellor house, and
+there were not one hundred Union soldiers in sight.
+The army fell back about one mile and a half, filling the
+woods and the road leading to Banks’ ford. Here it
+took a strong position and threw up a line of works and
+remained until May 6th, when, after being on arms all
+night, it marched at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, crossed the river at Banks’
+ford, and camped for the night.</p>
+
+<p>During the three days’ fight the Twenty-ninth regiment
+lost quite heavily; the killed were four, wounded
+forty-two, and prisoners twenty-five.</p>
+
+<p>In this action the rebel loss was officially reported in
+killed, wounded, and missing, as upward of 10,000 men,
+while the Union loss was about the same. The rebel
+loss in killed and wounded was greater than ours, in
+addition to which they lost one of their ablest generals.</p>
+
+<p>May 7th, marched at 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> It rained hard all
+day. We passed Hartwood church, Staffordshire, and
+went into camp near Aqua creek, and here it remained
+until June 3d, when the regiment moved to the south
+about one mile, and engaged in the construction of two
+small forts.</p>
+
+<p>Early on the morning of June 13th, we received orders
+to march. Tents were struck, but it was not until late
+in the afternoon that we moved, and then marched during
+the whole night, reaching Dumfries after daylight on
+the morning of the 14th.</p>
+
+<p>15th, march at 4 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> Halted on the north bank of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_67">[67]</span>
+the Occoquan creek for dinner. Resuming the march
+in the afternoon we passed Fairfax station and Court
+House on the road leading to Leesburg (marched
+twenty-five miles). This was a march of much suffering
+to the men, several of whom died during the day from
+sunstrokes.</p>
+
+<p>16th. Remained in camp all day.</p>
+
+<p>17th. March in the direction of Leesburg. Halted
+at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span>, and camped for the night.</p>
+
+<p>June 18th. Marched to near Leesburg and went into
+camp. <em>Oh! How it rains!</em></p>
+
+<p>19th. Remained in camp cleaning up guns and equipage,
+and all is quiet. In the afternoon the Twelfth
+army corps were ordered out to witness the shooting
+of three deserters from the First division of the Twelfth
+army corps. Following are the names: William McKee,
+company A, Forty-sixth Pennsylvania; Christopher
+Krumbart, company A, Forty-sixth Pennsylvania; and
+William Grover, company B, Thirteenth New Jersey.
+Lieutenant-colonel Clark left us here badly broken
+down in health.</p>
+
+<p>Sunday, June 20th. In camp cleaning up for inspection.
+21st and 22d in camp. 23d, 24th and 25th,
+Captain Schoonover, in charge of one hundred and
+twenty men from the brigade, felling timber, uncovering
+Ball’s Bluff in front of Fort Beauregard.</p>
+
+<p>26th. The regiment left Leesburg, crossing the Potomac
+at Edward’s Ferry, passed Poolsville, and encamped
+for the night at Monocacy aqueduct.</p>
+
+<p>27th. Moved at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> by way of Point of Rocks,
+Petersville and Parkersburg, and camped for the night
+five miles from Harper’s Ferry.</p>
+
+<p>28th. Moved in the forenoon, passing through Harper’s
+Ferry, then up the tow path of the Baltimore &amp;<span class="pagenum" id="Page_68">[68]</span>
+Ohio canal to Clear Springs, where the Twenty-ninth
+passed under the canal through a culvert, and moving in
+the direction of Frederick City, Maryland, went into
+camp.</p>
+
+<p>29th. Moved through Frederick City in the direction
+of Pennsylvania, and went into camp. General
+Hooker was relieved from command of the Army of the
+Potomac, and General George G. Mead placed in command.</p>
+
+<p>30th. Moved north into Pennsylvania, and late in
+the afternoon reached Littlestown, where we had a skirmish
+with the advance guard of the rebel Lee, which
+falling back toward Gettysburg, we moved north of

+<p class="center"><small>Gettysburg.</small></p>
+
+<p class="center">1863.</p>
+
+<p>July 1, 1863, the Twenty-ninth regiment, under command
+of Captain Edward Hayes, marched at 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>,
+passed through Littletown and on towards Gettysburg.
+After moving some five miles, we halted, and while
+preparing for dinner, first heard the distant artillery firing
+which seemed to be many miles away.</p>
+
+<p>While resting, troops were passing to the front.
+Meanwhile some of Company H had advanced to an
+eminence, from which they soon returned, reporting that
+the cannonading was not far off, as they could plainly
+see the shells as they burst above the timber. We were
+soon on the march, halting occasionally to breathe, as it
+was excessively hot and dusty. When about two miles
+from Gettysburg, we met ambulances returning with the
+wounded of the First and Eleventh corps, which had
+been engaged. Advancing a short distance, we found
+still further evidence of the fight in the bodies of those
+who had been killed in battle, and left beside the road.
+Late in the afternoon the Twenty-ninth reached the
+Union lines near Seminary Hill, and here batteries were
+in position. The troops were moving, and the rapid
+forming of lines gave evidence that a <em>battle</em> was <em>nigh</em>.</p>
+
+<p>The Twenty-ninth regiment filed to the left of the pike,
+and advancing about forty rods, took a position in a
+wheat field, in line of battle, and here remained on arms
+during the night.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_70">[70]</span></p>
+
+<p>During the day (July 1st) the First corps, commanded
+by General J. F. Reynolds, had a sharp fight, in which
+Reynolds was killed. The Eleventh corps (Howard’s)
+was also engaged. Late in the afternoon the Nationals
+were pressed back, and took a strong position a short
+distance from Gettysburg, on Seminary Ridge, which
+ended the battle for that day.</p>
+
+<p>During the night we could hear the moving of confederate
+troops and artillery in our front, while at the
+same time the Nationals were coming onto the field, so
+that in the morning of July 2d, the open field and
+woods presented a solid mass of troops, artillery and
+supply trains.</p>
+
+<p>About 8 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, July 2d, the Twenty-ninth
+regiment moved back to the pike, and moved with the
+division to a position in the timber on a hill, near the
+right of the line. Here breastworks were thrown up, and
+skirmishing was almost continuous along the line during
+the forenoon, and until about 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when the
+struggle was renewed on the left, and gradually extended
+to the center. About 6 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, there was a lull on
+the left, and the fight raged with renewed vigor on the
+extreme right and center, with Howard’s Eleventh and
+Slocum’s Twelfth corps. Late in the evening the
+Twenty-ninth, with the brigade, withdrew from the works,
+and moved back about three-fourths of a mile, where it
+remained during the forepart of the night, moving back
+and forth, and constantly skirmishing. The entire army
+appeared to be in motion the greater part of the night.</p>
+
+<p>July 3, 1863, at the dawn of day, the Twenty-ninth,
+with the brigade, moved back to, and took position in
+the works left the night before, and about 4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>
+the conflict was renewed.</p>
+
+<p>The rebels who had possession of our works were<span class="pagenum" id="Page_71">[71]</span>
+quickly driven back, and, fifteen minutes after the first
+gun was fired, the engagement became general along the
+entire line, and for six hours the musketry was one continued
+roll, interspersed at intervals by the crash of the
+artillery. The Twenty-ninth remained in the works except
+when allowed to retire to secure ammunition, clean
+pieces, etc. While thus securing ammunition the rebels
+charged the line on our right, gained possession of the
+works, and were advancing in force, when that gallant
+officer, Colonel Hayes, ordered the Twenty-ninth to fall
+in, fix bayonets, and advance to the charge of the rebels
+in the rifle pits and advancing on our right. The regiment
+made a half wheel to the right and advanced
+double-quick, when the rebels gave way. An eastern
+shore regiment took position next on our right, holding
+the rebels in check. A battery was immediately placed in
+position, a few rounds from which sent the Confederates
+to the rear, leaving their dead and wounded thick about
+our line of works.</p>
+
+<p>The Confederates in our front were Ewell’s corps, including
+our old acquaintance, Stonewall Jackson’s brigade,
+which fought with desperation. The rattle of the
+musketry, which extended from the extreme right to the
+left center of our line, had now become continuous, and
+about 1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> General Lee opened a furious fire
+upon our lines from over one hundred and fifty pieces
+of artillery, to which more than one hundred National
+guns quickly responded; some sixty thousand small arms
+were heard amidst the roar of artillery. This unearthly
+din continued until late in the afternoon, when the firing
+ceased except at intervals, and this continued during
+the entire night.</p>
+
+<p>Brevet Captain George Hayward, of company E, promoted
+for gallant conduct at Chancellorsville, was killed<span class="pagenum" id="Page_72">[72]</span>
+in this fight. He was daring almost to rashness, always
+at the front, unmindful of danger, while his tender
+solicitude for his men endeared him to all who knew
+him, and his death was sincerely regretted. The rebel
+who killed him was concealed in the crevice of the rock
+not more than twenty paces from our line. Upon again
+exposing his person not less than one hundred rifles were
+discharged at him; he sprang backward, a shrill cry
+rang out upon the air, and brave Hayward’s death was
+avenged.</p>
+
+<p>A little further down the hill lay the dead body of
+Major Light, assistant adjutant-general on Ewell’s staff,
+who had perished in the morning assault.</p>
+
+<p>Early on the morning of July 4th the Twenty-ninth
+regiment advanced in reconnoissance over the battlefield,
+and for the first time gained a full knowledge of the
+fearful loss of life the rebels had sustained, full five
+thousand of whom had answered to their last roll-call.
+Still the mystery exists how any rebels escaped, as each
+soldier of the Union army had, in the seven hours’ fight,
+fired two hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition, sufficient
+to have annihilated the entire Southern army.</p>
+
+<p>We moved forward to the base of Culp’s hill, and
+thence left, to the creek near Cemetery hill, on the opposite
+bank of which were posted the gray-coated pickets
+of the enemy. Rebel troops were moving through
+the town, while a force was fortified on Seminary ridge.
+Pickets were thrown out to observe their movements and
+we retired to the main line.</p>
+
+<p>During the day nearly five thousand stand of rebel
+arms were collected from the field, in front of Geary’s
+division alone. Our fallen comrades were tenderly,
+though rudely, transferred to the kindly embrace of<span class="pagenum" id="Page_73">[73]</span>
+mother earth, while the wounded were collected at convenient
+points to receive the necessary treatment.</p>
+
+<p>Whoever has followed the phases of the battle of
+Gettysburg must have been expressed with the stubborn
+valor displayed on both sides by the common soldiers.
+The dauntless resolution exhibited in the attacks made
+it a terribly bloody and destructive conflict, and the
+unyielding and resolute front of the defence brought
+victory. But there was no possibility of achieving on
+either side such sweeping and complete triumphs as are
+recorded of wars in other countries and in other days, in
+a contest between two armies where the common soldiers
+were of such a temper and in such earnest as were these.
+It is a sad spectacle to see the manhood of two claiming
+to be Christian peoples thus march out to a field, like
+trained pugilists, and beat, and gouge, and pummel each
+other until one or the other from exhaustion must yield.
+It is revolting and sickening, and it is hoped that the
+day will come when disputes arising among nations may
+be settled by compromise, as two reasonable and upright
+men would decide a difference, governed by the golden
+rule, instead of resorting to blows where right and justice
+must be subordinate to brute force. But in a great
+battle like that which we have been considering it is not
+the soldiers themselves who are responsible, but the
+parties who make the quarrel. Hence, while the mind
+revolts at the scenes of destruction which the field discloses,
+the immediate actors are not to be held accountable.
+They go in obedience to the dictates of duty and
+of patriotism, and while they may indulge no personal
+hatred toward those who for the time they call enemies,
+they must in battle inflict the greatest possible injury
+upon them. In all ages the highest honors have been
+reserved for those who have fought the battles of their<span class="pagenum" id="Page_74">[74]</span>
+country&mdash;and this is right. For if there is any deed in
+the power of a mortal which can sway the feelings or
+soften the heart it is that of one man laying down his
+life for another. The breast heaves and the eye is suffused
+with tears at the spectacle of Pythias putting his
+life in jeopardy only for his friend. There is a halo of
+glory hovering about the profession of arms. It has its
+seat in the sacrifice of self, which is its ruling spirit.</p>
+
+<p>The man who stands upon the field of battle and faces
+the storm of death that sweeps along, whether he merely
+puts his life thus in jeopardy or is actually carried down
+in death, torn and mangled in the dread fight, is worthy
+of endless honors, and though we class the deed with
+the lowest of human acts, prompted by a hardihood
+which we share with the brutes, and in which the most
+ignorant and besotted may compete with the loftiest, yet
+it is an act before which humanity will ever bow and
+uncover. Who that walked that field of carnage and
+beheld the maimed and mangled, and him cold in death,
+could withhold the tribute of honor and respect? For,
+could he make that dying soldier’s lot his own, or that of
+his nearest and dearest friend, he would only then justly
+realize the sacrifice. Our casualties in the fight were:
+Killed, nine; wounded, thirty-five; missing, one. Total,
+forty-five.</p>

+
+<p>The pursuit of the retreating enemy was commenced
+by the Twelfth army corps at 1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, on July 5th.
+At night we encamped at Littletown, Pennsylvania, and
+on the following morning moved by the way of Frederick
+to Antietam creek. On the 7th instant we marched
+through Frederick, filed to the right, and passed by a
+rebel spy that was hanging to a limb of a tree. We
+moved a short distance, and halted, where we remained
+all night. On the 8th we marched over the mountains
+in the direction of Sharpsburg. On the 9th we passed
+over the battlefield, and camped near Fairplay, Maryland.
+On the 10th we moved through the town, and
+camped for the night near Falling waters. On the following
+day we advanced to Fairplay, a small town to the
+south of St. James’ college, and the Twenty-ninth regiment,
+with its customary good (?) fortune, was thrown out
+as skirmishers, and during the day exchanged frequent
+shots with the enemy’s cavalry, and at night resting in
+position on the extreme front.</p>
+
+<p>During the night rebel cavalry approached very near
+our line, but our orders were positive not to fire unless
+attacked. On the following morning we were relieved
+and retired to the main line, where we assumed position
+as support to Knapp’s battery, which was hotly engaged
+at intervals during the day.</p>
+
+<p>On the morning of the 13th instant we rejoined our<span class="pagenum" id="Page_76">[76]</span>
+brigade, anticipating an attack. Riflepits were thrown up
+and due preparation made. The enemy are strongly
+fortified between St. James’ college and Williamsport,
+some two miles distant, and on the 14th he was reported
+as falling back across the Potomac. Heavy cannonading
+is heard towards the river, and the First division of
+General Williams advances in reconnoissance, the Second
+acting as support. A dispatch states that Lee’s army, in
+full retreat, began crossing the river yesterday, continued
+through the night and to-day. Our troops are hotly engaged
+with his rear guard, and we remain in position
+until the morning of the 18th, when we move briskly forward
+in pursuit of the fleeing chivalry, who were now
+across the Potomac in Virginia. We marched via
+Sharpsburg and Antietam.</p>
+
+<p>While passing through the woods three men were shot
+by Mosby’s cavalry. A march of sixteen miles and we
+halt within three miles of Harper’s Ferry. At Sandy
+Hook we remain until the morning of the 19th instant,
+when we move forward via Harper’s Ferry, to Hillsboro,
+Virginia.</p>
+
+<p>On the following morning we are early on the move,
+advancing as far as Snickersville, near the gap of that
+name, where pickets are thrown out and we bivouac for
+the night. We remain here for two days, during which
+time we muster and pass in review. Colonel W. T.
+Fitch recently promoted, and who has been absent on
+leave since March 28th, joined us here, and assumed
+command.</p>
+
+<p>On the morning of the 23d we again moved forward,
+passing through Upperville and on to Ashby’s gap,
+where, at a late hour, we go into camp. Having marched
+thirty miles since morning sleep was sweet that night,
+with mother earth for a bed, and only heaven’s blue<span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">[77]</span>
+canopy for a cover. At 3 o’clock on the morning of the
+24th we march rapidly forward through the villages of
+Markham and Linden, halting for dinner at Manassas
+gap, then forward, changing direction by column to the
+south-southeast, in the direction of White Plains.
+Marching sixteen miles we halted for the night.</p>
+
+<p>The next day we marched to White Plains, and the
+next by the way of Thoroughfare gap, Haymarket, and
+Greenwich, the latter a pretty little village, settled by
+English people, for whose protection guards were stationed,
+as they were in fact in many instances for the
+protection of rebel property. After a brief halt we
+marched forward via Catlett’s station and Warrenton,
+where we joined the First and Eleventh corps of our
+army and encamped for the night, then forward again to
+Kelley’s Ford, on the Rappahannock, when, after a short
+visit, the brigade took cars for Alexandria, Virginia,
+under orders for New York city, to quell the memorable
+draft riots induced by the Southern sympathizers and
+copperheads.</p>
+
+<p>On August 23d we embarked on the steamer Baltic
+and moved down the Potomac. When near its outlet
+we went fast aground. This action occurred about noon
+on the 24th, and three days elapsed before we were
+again on the move. On the 28th, at 9:45 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, we
+round Cape Henry and strike the swells of the Atlantic.
+A rough sea soon sends many of the command to the
+rail to&mdash;well, if the reader was ever seasick he will appreciate
+the situation. It is not pleasant to linger long
+upon this scene; the recollection of it, even now, almost
+destroys one’s interest in sublunary affairs.</p>
+
+<p>On the 29th we pass the narrows and enter New York
+harbor, coming to anchor near Governor’s Island at 12
+o’clock <span class="allsmcap">M.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_78">[78]</span></span></p>
+
+<p>From our anchorage the view was grandly beautiful
+with the immense shipping, Brooklyn on the right, New
+York to the front, and Jersey City on the left. On the
+left of Governor’s Island Castle William (now used as a
+magazine) stands out in bold relief. To its right is the
+fort which protects the harbor. On September 1st we
+disembarked and went into camp on the island. The
+men are in fine spirits and delighted with the change.</p>
+
+<p>The troubles in the city having subsided we re-embarked
+aboard the Baltic, which, on the 8th day of September,
+heads towards the sea. When passing the narrows
+the guns of the fort thunder a salute; soon Sandy
+Hook is passed and we are again in the open sea, all
+happy at the prospect of going to the front, the inactivity
+of camp life with nothing to do having become tiresome
+in the extreme.</p>
+
+<p>On September 10th we came to anchor in Chesapeake
+Bay, where we remained one day, then passed on again
+to Alexandria, disembarked, and went into camp to the
+south of the town. Two days later and we again move
+forward to Elk creek, where we encamp for the night.</p>
+
+<p>September 16th, marched at 6 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, reached the Rappahannock
+at noon, and here rejoined our old brigade,
+moved forward to Raccoon ford on the north side of the
+Rapidan. General Lee’s forces are massed on the opposite
+shore of the river, and as we came up our ears
+were greeted with the pleasing sound of rapid musketry
+firing proceeding from the pickets of the two armies.
+During the afternoon we witnessed the execution of two
+deserters from the Seventy-eighth New York.</p>
+
+<p>During the last of September we learned of the defeat
+of the Western army at Chickamauga, and the Twelfth
+corps was at once transferred to the Department of the
+West, and without delay proceeded by rail to Washington,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_79">[79]</span>
+and thence via Wheeling, Columbus, Indianapolis,
+Nashville, to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where we arrived
+October 5th.</p>
+
+<p>After a few days’ rest the regiment again resume the
+march, passing Duck river, Bell Buckle, and Wartrace,
+when the Seventh Ohio halted, while the Twenty-ninth
+moved on to Normandy, on the Nashville &amp; Chattanooga
+railroad. Here it remained in camp, with the usual
+routine of camp and picket duty until late in October,
+when the regiment and brigade broke camp, took the
+cars for Bridgeport, Alabama, where it arrived on the
+27th, disembarked, and camped for the night. On the
+morning of October 28th the Twenty-ninth regiment
+crossed the Tennessee river with the wagon train. Halting
+at Shellmound for dinner, marched until late in the
+evening, and halted near White Sides, where all camped
+for the night. About 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> artillery firing,
+with heavy volleys of musketry, was heard in the direction
+of Chattanooga, continuing two or three hours.</p>

+
+<p>While at Murfreesboro scouts reported that Wheeler’s
+cavalry was in the vicinity, and the Second division
+(Geary’s) was pushed forward to meet it, the First division
+remaining to guard the post and railway communication.
+Geary moved forward in the direction of Bridgeport,
+encountering Wheeler’s force near the line of the
+railway. A brief but sharp skirmish ensued, which resulted
+in the repulse and hasty retreat of the rebels. We
+then advanced without delay to Bridgeport. October
+27th the Second division, Geary commanding, with
+Creighton and Greene in command of the First and
+Second brigades, crossed the Tennessee, the object to
+open communication on the south side of the river by
+way of Wauhatchie valley and Lookout mountain for the
+relief of General Thomas at Chattanooga.</p>
+
+<p>Brigadier-general Greene, with three regiments of
+infantry and four pieces of Knapp’s battery, numbering
+about fifteen hundred men, with a wagon train of provisions,
+was sent to the relief of the famishing army at
+Chattanooga, the balance of our command following as
+fast as practicable with the immense supply train in
+charge. After we had encamped for the night the signal
+corps of General Greene informed us that his command
+had encamped at Wauhatchie, within six miles of Chattanooga.
+The knoll occupied by them derived its name
+from an Indian battle fought there years before. It is
+situated in the valley not far from the base of Lookout
+mountain. Knapp’s guns were placed in position facing<span class="pagenum" id="Page_81">[81]</span>
+Lookout, and pickets stationed perhaps fifty yards to the
+front.</p>
+
+<p>About midnight General Hood’s division came down
+from the heights of Lookout and quietly surrounded
+General Greene’s small force, and at once commenced
+an attack. Greene’s men, aroused from their slumber,
+hastily formed line under a most deadly fire from all
+sides, and one of the most desperate struggles on record
+ensued. We were awakened by the sound of the distant
+combat, and forming into line hastily advanced to their
+rescue. When we arrived Hood’s rebels had been
+routed and were flying in all directions, intent only on
+reaching their mountain stronghold. There was a regular
+stampede of the mules, which had broken loose and
+were braying furiously. This, with loud shouts from our
+men, must have induced a belief in the valorous rebel
+horde that a large force of cavalry was charging down
+upon them, and their fears and flight was indeed a grand
+burlesque finale to a terrible tragedy.</p>
+
+<p>General Greene had lost one-third of his force, killed
+and wounded, his ammunition was exhausted, and ordering
+the mules cut loose, he made a desperate bayonet
+charge to cut his way to freedom. The mules providentially
+moved in the same direction, mingling the thunder
+of their tread and their awful voices with the shouts of
+Greene’s men, and our own, to let them know that assistance
+was coming. The effect was to throw Hood’s rebel
+army into a wild panic and put them to rout. Three
+hundred prisoners and about one thousand stand of
+arms were captured. Every man of Knapp’s battery,
+save one only, was either killed or wounded. Among
+the former was Lieutenant Geary, son of General John
+W. Geary. The ground was covered with the dead and
+injured of both the blue and the gray.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">[82]</span></p>
+
+<p>While assisting the wounded and burying the dead,
+Generals Grant, Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective
+staffs, arrived from Chattanooga. The former
+coolly remarked as he surveyed the bloody scene:
+“Well, boys, you must have had a hot time of it, judging
+from appearances.” There was silence among the
+men, who knew that an army was cosily reposing but
+four miles away, which could easily have averted the
+terrible bloodshed, but were so completely disheartened
+by the defeat at Chickamauga that they dare not venture
+from their stronghold to the relief of gallant “Corporal”
+Greene, who happily turned defeat into a heroic victory.</p>

+<p class="center"><small>Lookout Mountain&mdash;The Battle&mdash;The Regiment Re-enlist.</small></p>
+
+<p>The line of General Geary’s division now extends
+along the foot of Lookout mountain, parallel with the
+rebel line, and only separated from it by the creek along
+its base. For nearly ten days the commissary stores intended
+for us have been largely forwarded to Chattanooga,
+leaving us with scarcely anything to eat. When
+on the skirmish line we often sent our reserves around
+to the right of the mountain to secure corn from a field
+in that location, held by the rebels, and quite lively little
+fights would result. Our boys always returned with
+corn, however, which we parched to allay in part the
+bitter pangs of hunger. As with everything earthly our
+long fast ended, rations came, and life began to seem
+almost worth living, exchanges of coffee and tobacco
+were almost hourly made between the Union and rebel
+soldiers, each forgetting for the time the hate engendered
+over the fight for corn. Our main line was being strongly
+fortified, the rebels meanwhile keeping up an almost
+continuous bombardment of our line from their batteries
+on the heights of Lookout. Strong details were
+employed in cutting away the forest on our front to enable
+our artillery to cover an hourly expected attack.
+The situation remained the same until November 23d,
+when, toward night, the beat of the “long roll” called
+Geary’s division to arms. It at once moved promptly
+forward, formed line of battle, facing Lookout heights,
+and advanced to its base along the creek. Osterhaus’<span class="pagenum" id="Page_85">[85]</span>
+division of the Fifteenth corps, and Whittaker’s brigade,
+of the Fourth corps, now advanced to the left of Geary’s
+division. The rebels soon discovered this movement
+and promptly moved a strong force down the mountain
+side within easy musket range, where they strongly
+fortified during the night.</p>
+
+<p>The morning of November 24th opened out a simultaneous
+discharge of our entire artillery, which was
+parked along the mountain’s point, the infantry on our
+left advancing to the base of the mountain. The First
+brigade, led by Colonel Creighton, and followed by the
+Second and Third brigades, moved rapidly up the creek
+to the right under cover of the woods, then debouching
+to the left. The First brigade took the advance and began
+the ascent of Lookout heights, being favored by a
+friendly ravine extending toward the crest of the mountain.
+The brigade had advanced perhaps two-thirds of
+the distance before the enemy discovered its movements,
+and now the men renew their efforts, driving the enemy
+before them despite the terrible fire poured into our advance,
+and after a desperate struggle reach the rocky
+crest and disappear in a thick mist (referred to by most
+writers, we believe, as clouds, and which gave this engagement
+the title of the “battle above the clouds”).
+The line of the whole division is extended, and in a
+moment sweeps down in an impetuous charge on both
+the rebel flank and rear. Their batteries are reached,
+the cannoniers beaten back, and the guns captured. Onward,
+upward, with loud cheers our columns rush to victory,
+carrying everything before them. A whole brigade
+is captured, and Lookout mountain, since famous in
+song and story, is ours. This victory was won by
+Geary’s men, assisted only by Whittaker’s brigade acting
+as support. The troops below now came gallantly(?) up<span class="pagenum" id="Page_86">[86]</span>
+the mountain to claim, as usual, the honors won, as the
+voluminous reports subsequently written by their generals
+amply attest. Geary and his brigade commanders
+had no reports to make save that their division stormed
+the heights and carried them, capturing the enemy’s
+artillery and the entire rebel force occupying the main
+defenses of the mountain. Some time after the capture
+the standard of the “white star” division was planted on
+the crest and the stars and stripes was soon waving beside
+it. No danger was incurred by this, as none of the
+enemy remained except the prisoners, yet it has been
+written and rewritten as if it were an event of some importance.</p>
+
+<p>“The morning of November 25th revealed the white
+star standard of Geary and the glorious old stars and
+stripes to the army below, floating triumphantly side by
+side on Lookout’s rocky crest. Prolonged huzzas
+greeted the victors from below, and to confirm that ‘to
+the victors belong the spoils,’ a detachment from two
+regiments of Geary’s command take charge of the prisoners,
+seven stand of colors, and a great number of cannon
+captured.”</p>
+
+<p>The rebels had burned the bridge across Lookout
+creek, which delayed our further advance a short time.
+A bridge was soon improvised, however, and a crossing
+was effected. The command moved on to Rossville,
+where it engaged Braggs’ left, while General Thomas, advancing
+from Chattanooga valley, moved up Missionary
+ridge, striking Bragg a crushing blow in the center, and
+Pap Sherman was making it warm for his right flank.
+About 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the firing became general along the
+entire line, which continued until late in the afternoon,
+when the rebels were driven from the field with great<span class="pagenum" id="Page_87">[87]</span>
+loss. The Union army advanced a short distance and
+bivouacked for the night.</p>
+
+<p>November 26, we moved on after the retreating army,
+and at a small creek near Greysville, Georgia, had a
+skirmish, driving the enemy as far as Ringgold and Taylor’s
+ridge, where they were in position behind breastwork
+in the narrow pass extending through the ridge in the
+direction of Dalton.</p>
+
+<p>27th. Geary’s division made a gallant charge upon the
+rebel works. The First brigade, commanded by Colonel
+William R. Creighton, made a direct assault on Taylor’s
+ridge, while the Second and Third brigades engaged the
+rebels in the narrow defile. After a terrible struggle the
+Nationals were forced back a short distance. A battery
+was moved forward and placed in position, which opened
+with double shotted guns upon the enemy, soon driving
+them precipitately to the rear, leaving the Nationals in
+possession of the field. In this engagement the Union
+loss was quite heavy.</p>
+
+<p>On the 28th the army moved back, Geary’s division
+reaching Wauhatchie valley on the 29th. Resting a few
+days, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment broke camp
+and on December 3d moved across Lookout creek,
+marched about two miles west of Summerville, on Lookout
+mountain, where it camped for the night. Returned
+to its old camp at Wauhatchie, Tennessee, on the
+5th day of December, and the campaign of 1863 ended.</p>
+
+<p>At Wauhatchie, on the 10th day of December, 1863,
+the Twenty-ninth Ohio, though now reduced to less
+than three hundred effective men for duty, almost to a
+man re-enlisted for three years more, should the war so
+long continue, and were given a thirty-days’ furlough
+home for the purpose of recruiting. The headquarters
+of the regiment was established at Cleveland, Ohio.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_88">[88]</span>
+It remained here some two months. At last the decimated
+ranks were filled and, on the morning of February
+8, 1864, the regiment bade a second good bye to friends,
+and amidst their prayers for success and a safe return
+departed for the front, determined to die for the flag if
+necessary, and, after a tedious ride of many weary miles
+arrived at Bridgeport, Alabama, via Louisville, Nashville,
+and Murfreesboro, where it went into winter quarters and
+remained until the opening of the spring campaign of
+1864.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Shelmound&mdash;Wauhatchie Valley&mdash;Ringgold&mdash;Battle of Dug or Mill
+Creek Gap or Buzzard’s Roost&mdash;On the Move.</small></p>
+
+<p>On the morning of May 3, 1864, at 10 o’clock, we
+broke camp, crossed the Tennessee river, and moved
+eastward along its south bank to Shelmound, where we
+encamped for the night. On the following day the march
+was resumed, the column halting for dinner in Wauhatchie
+valley. Crossing Lookout Creek and mountain,
+we encamped for the night on its east side and two miles
+distant from Chattanooga. The column resumed its
+line of march at 7 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on the 5th. Moving cautiously
+during the day, in the advance, it halted for the night a
+short distance west of Ringgold, Georgia. At daybreak
+on the following morning we moved forward, and about
+9 o’clock formed line of battle, remaining here during
+the day and subsequent night. The beat of the “long
+roll” on the following morning called us to arms, and we
+immediately advanced in line of battle. When near
+Gordon’s Springs General Kilpatrick passed to our right
+with his command. Our column came to a halt for the
+night near Tunnel hill.</p>
+
+<p>At about 11 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on May 8th, we pushed forward in
+order of columns right in front, and at 3 o’clock arrived
+in front of John’s Mountain at Rocky Face Ridge, on
+the summit of which the enemy were entrenched in force.
+The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment and Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania of the First brigade, Colonel Candy commanding,
+with three regiments of Buschbeck’s Second
+brigade, formed in line, the latter on the right, and in this<span class="pagenum" id="Page_90">[90]</span>
+order at once moved forward to storm the ridge. The
+position of the Twenty-ninth regiment in the assaulting
+column was on the extreme left, the Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania next on its right, connecting with the
+Second brigade. Our instructions were to make a strong
+demonstration, and to carry, if possible, the rebel position.
+While advancing to the assault, the brass bands in
+our rear indiscreetly commenced playing National airs,
+which attracted the attention of the rebel commander,
+who rapidly concentrated reinforcements in our front.
+The advance up the declivity was nearly as difficult as
+Lookout Mountain, and more completely fortified. Its
+summit was steep, precipitous, and covered with scraggy
+rocks and immense boulders. From our position we
+commanded a fine view of Dug Gap, a narrow, artificial
+cut through the rocky summit, connecting with a road
+extending almost parallel with the ridge to the gap
+beyond, and by a zigzag course reaching the mountain’s
+base. The rebels had so completely fortified themselves
+that it was next to impossible for our assaulting force to
+get nearer than their base. As we approached the rebel
+line, a regiment was moved by left flank across our front.
+At this moment the rebel line opened a fire so deadly in
+effect that the regiment in our front became disordered
+and broke through our ranks to the rear, causing a momentary
+confusion in the ranks of the Twenty-ninth regiment.
+At this moment the order was given to advance,
+which was executed with a rush despite the deadly volleys
+that were cutting through our ranks. Up! up! we go
+to death or victory! and commenced to scale the obstructions
+close to their works; and now a storm of deadly
+missiles are hurled against us. Rocks, boulders, and
+even cart-wheels come crashing down upon us. Yet we
+moved steadily in the deadly advance until ordered back<span class="pagenum" id="Page_91">[91]</span>
+by our officers, when we retired a few paces to reform
+our line, the fallen trees only separating us from the
+enemy.</p>
+
+<p>Here we made a determined and bloody fight, but
+having no support to cover our flank we were subjected
+to a deadly cross-fire from the left, yet the regiment stubbornly
+stood its ground, returning shot for shot until its
+ammunition was exhausted. More was secured from the
+cartridge-boxes of the dead and wounded, and with this
+we fought on, determined to hold the position until reinforcements
+should reach us. Just before dusk an order
+came from the commanding general for the Twenty-ninth
+regiment to retire, all the other regiments having
+done so some time previous. To cover our retreat a
+line of skirmishers was thrown out, composed of men
+from each company who volunteered for this dangerous
+duty, and right nobly did they perform this work, firing
+with deadly precision as they retired from the field into
+the valley below, where the Twenty-ninth were already in
+bivouac, and comrades cheered lustily as the skirmishers
+came in, happy to know they had not met the fate of
+others.</p>
+
+<p>John Davis, of company B, a Scotchman by birth and
+one of the best shots in the regiment, fired the last shot
+in this day’s action, and was the last to leave the field.</p>
+
+<p>The Twenty-ninth regiment in this fight distinguished
+itself by brave conduct, though at last compelled to
+retire from lack of support. Our losses in killed and
+wounded was more than double that of any other regiment
+engaged: Killed, 26; wounded, 67; captured 1;
+total 94.</p>
+
+<p>General Geary highly complimented the regiment for
+its gallantry, remarking that he never saw men advance
+under such murderous fire, especially when unsupported<span class="pagenum" id="Page_92">[92]</span>
+and where the chances of success were so desperate.
+The Twenty-ninth regiment lost nearly one-third its
+numbers during this three hours’ engagement, and many
+were the individual acts of heroism displayed, which it
+would give the writer pleasure to record. As but few
+are now remembered, the remainder would suffer an injustice
+were these given. It is, however, but simple justice
+to state that the regiment fully sustained its previous
+reputation as a fighting organization, each individual
+doing his full share in the terrible work. Subsequent
+events proved that this assault was made to draw the
+enemy to this point, thus giving McPherson’s corps and
+Kilpatrick’s cavalry an opportunity to possess Snake
+Creek Gap, a desirable situation several miles in our
+right rear, opening a flank movement directly on the enemy’s
+rear.</p>
+
+<p>On May 9th we encamp at Mill Creek, near Johns
+Mountain, where we remain until 12 o’clock, midnight.
+We then move to the right and throw up earthworks.
+May 10th we are still at work. We receive the news of
+General Grant’s victory over General Lee at the Wilderness,
+near Chancellorsville, Virginia, where our regiment
+received such a baptism of blood a little more than a
+year since. Alas! how many of our brave boys have
+gone down to death since then.</p>
+
+<p>May 11th. Still in the same position, hourly expecting
+orders to move; quartermasters remove all extra baggage
+to the rear; all men unable for active service sent to
+hospital, and everything possible put into perfect fighting
+order, and by the way it’s ever so much nicer penning
+these lines here in our cosy room in the far away Western
+Reserve of the Buckeye State than was the actual experience
+in Secessia during those early May days of
+1864.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_93">[93]</span></p>
+
+<p>On the 12th instant we moved forward to Snake
+Creek Gap, forming a junction with the Fifteenth and
+Sixteenth corps (McPherson’s), where we remained during
+the night. At 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> on the following day
+we advanced toward Resaca, fully occupying Snake
+Creek Gap. Our cavalry are sharply engaged with the
+enemy. Here brave General Kilpatrick is wounded. At
+4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the battle is still raging fiercely, and the
+enemy are being slowly driven back. At last a hill is
+captured which covers the entire rebel line. Here we
+fortify and rest for the night.</p>
+
+<p>May 14th a severe engagement opens near Resaca;
+we advance by a circuitous route to the left; the Fourteenth
+corps is engaged; during the afternoon we
+joined our Twentieth corps and moving rapidly to the
+left; succeeded in rescuing a portion of the Fourth corps
+from disaster and defeat, and one of its batteries from
+certain capture, the infantry support having been driven
+back, leaving the battery at the mercy of the rebels.
+Robinson’s brigade, of Williams’ division, Twentieth
+corps, who were in the advance, fortunately reached the
+scene of action in time to prevent the capture of another
+battery by making a counter-charge on the advancing
+rebel legions. We came up soon after this support,
+which soon ended in the complete repulse of the rebels,
+driving them beyond their fortifications. The Twentieth
+army corps received the compliments of the commanding
+general, Hooker, for their gallant work, which resulted
+in a loss to the enemy of some four hundred men
+killed and wounded.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Battle of Resaca, Georgia&mdash;In Pursuit of the Fleeing Chivalry (?)</small></p>
+
+<p>At an early hour on the morning of May 15th sharp
+skirmishing opened along our entire front. General
+Geary’s Second division moved a short distance to the
+left and halted for orders. About 11 o’clock Generals
+Sherman, Hooker, and Thomas, with their respective
+staffs, reached the battlefield and immediately held a
+council of war. General Hooker is requested to assume
+command of selected troops to take the offensive, and
+is asked how large a force he required to capture a certain
+fort directly in our front, known to be the enemy’s
+stronghold and the key to his position. Hooker astonished
+his superiors by replying: “Geary’s division can,
+I think, carry that position if it can be done by anyone.”
+As this conversation was heard by our men we were prepared
+for what was to follow.</p>
+
+<p>As soon as General Geary had received his instructions,
+the Second division moved to the attack in the
+following orders: Second and Third brigades in the
+advance, with the First brigade closely massed in their
+rear, the latter advancing closely in support of the attacking
+column. Our advance was met with obstinate resistance,
+yet we steadily pushed forward, driving the enemy
+back and gaining possession of three lines of hills in
+rapid succession, the last of which was in close proximity
+to the rebel fort, only a narrow ravine intervening. The
+enemy are strongly entrenched in earthworks extending
+in the rear of the fort. The First brigade commenced<span class="pagenum" id="Page_95">[95]</span>
+a rapid firing at short range to cover the sortie being
+made by regiments of the Second and Third brigades.
+These regiments rush gallantly forward to the assault.
+They are repulsed but quickly reform, and, with other
+regiments sent to their support, they again pass forward.
+The fort was captured and lost three times in succession,
+but at last the rebels are forced to flee before our furious
+charge. Leaving the guns they join the main line.</p>
+
+<p>The Union forces prevented the rebels from again
+occupying the fort until dark, when detachments from
+the Twenty-ninth and other Ohio regiments of the First
+brigade were sent to open a trench through the earthworks
+of the fort through which to move the guns into
+the ravine below. The rebels discovering this charged
+down upon us to recapture the guns. Expecting such
+an attack the First brigade had moved forward into the
+ravine, and now waited the coming of the rebels. When
+close upon them a signal was given, which was followed
+by a sheet of flame along our whole line, dealing terrible
+destruction into the rebel ranks, immediately followed
+by a determined bayonet charge, which threw their
+lines into disorder and they fled panic-stricken over
+their fortifications, closely pursued by our command,
+whose loud huzzas sent Johnston’s army in rapid retreat,
+abandoned all its cannon, hospital, and commissary
+stores, and with their usual savagery leaving their own
+dead and wounded upon the field. We also captured
+many prisoners.</p>
+
+<p>This success was a grand victory for the “white star”
+division of the Twentieth corps, yet not unattended with
+losses, which were, however, light in comparison with
+those of the enemy. In fact, in the night attack we
+had so thoroughly surprised the enemy that but feeble
+resistance was made.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_96">[96]</span></p>
+
+<p>At an early hour on the morning of May 16th we
+pushed rapidly forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels.
+At 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> we came into line on the bank of the
+Coosa river, near the railroad bridge, which our cavalry
+had prevented the rebels from burning, though they had
+made repeated efforts to do so. The enemy’s flight was
+so rapid that he had not even time to seriously impair
+the railroad track. Our locomotives, with trains of supplies,
+soon came in sight. We now advanced across the
+river and encamped for the night.</p>
+
+<p>At 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> on May 17th, the general forward movement
+of our army was resumed. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment was the advance guard of its division, and
+assisted in driving the rebels from the little village of
+Calhoun, where we halt for the night. At 5 o’clock on
+the following morning we again moved forward in the
+direction of Rome, Georgia. At Rome cross-roads the
+rebels were met and promptly engaged by the Fourth
+corps; a lively fight ensued, resulting in slight losses on
+both sides. The enemy retreated, and we continued the
+pursuit until 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when we encamped for the
+night.</p>
+
+<p>On the next morning at early dawn we pushed forward,
+continuing until 3 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, when we halt and
+form line near Kingston, Georgia. The whole force of
+the enemy are immediately on our front, and the Fourth
+corps promptly open fire upon them, which resulted in a
+further movement of the chivalry to the rear.</p>
+
+<p>We remain here until the morning of May 23d when
+we move about daylight via Cassville and Cass station to
+the Etowah river, which is crossed on pontoons, and a
+halt for the night made on its opposite bank. The next
+morning we resume the weary march, coming into
+line of battle at about 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> We advanced in this<span class="pagenum" id="Page_97">[97]</span>
+order up the Raccoon hills, or Allatoona range, until
+night, when we encamp at Burnt Hickory. The First
+brigade, as advance guard, moved ahead at daybreak,
+via the Burnt Hickory road.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Pumpkin Vine Creek&mdash;Dallas, or New Hope Church&mdash;Slight Unpleasantness&mdash;Personal.</small></p>
+
+<p>At Pumpkin Vine creek we discover the enemy and
+drive back his skirmishers, who are stationed on its opposite
+bank, recovering the bridge, which we cross and
+throw out skirmishers on the opposite side. While this
+was being accomplished, General Hooker and Staff, with
+a small body guard, pushed ahead to reconnoiter. He
+had not advanced far, however, when he was attacked by
+a force of rebel sharp shooters. He now came tearing
+back into our lines shouting to General Geary to move
+his First brigade into position to hold the enemy in
+check until the Second and Third brigades should come
+up, they being some four miles in our rear. We quickly
+formed line by columns to the right and left, the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio occupying position on the extreme left,
+Knapp’s battery taking position immediately in our rear,
+to cover the bridge in case we were forced to retire before
+reinforcements should reach us. As the left company
+of the Twenty-ninth were completing the battle-line
+a rebel column was found marching in close
+proximity to our flank.</p>
+
+<p>Ten paces to the front the skirmishers were hotly engaged,
+but our flank was uncovered. We immediately
+face to the left and prepare to fire, but are prevented by
+instructions not to draw on a general engagement but to
+hold the position at all hazards. The rebel column on
+our flank, however, slowly retired without firing a gun,
+and forming on their main line, which was massed in the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_99">[99]</span>
+woods a short distance to our front. During this time
+we hastily changed front in form of a semi-circle to protect
+us from flank attack. This movement was executed
+none too soon, as the enemy came immediately to the
+attack, and a sharp engagement opened all along the
+line, which was a hot one, yet it gallantly held its own
+until the balance of its division came up. Forming in
+column with us, we advance on the rebel line and drive
+them slowly back.</p>
+
+<p>The battle now became fierce and our assaults were
+heroically met. Generals Hooker and Geary were present
+and ordered the attack, the plan of which was to advance
+lines and fire, to be followed by bayonet charges, by
+which the enemy was steadily driven back. Our front
+line was frequently relieved by columns from the rear,
+thus keeping fresh men at the front. Geary’s division
+alone had driven Hood’s rebel corps back to the forks of
+the road at New Hope church, when Butterfield’s Third
+division arrived and took position on our left. Soon
+after, Williams came up with the First division and
+passed to the front, which allowed the Second division
+to drop in the reserve long enough to clean our firearms
+and replenish cartridge-boxes, when we again advance in
+support of the First and Third divisions.</p>
+
+<p>Just as the sun disappeared in the western horizon,
+General Geary ordered the First brigade to charge the
+enemy. This movement was executed on the double-quick,
+and as our columns passed in perfect alignment
+to the front, Butterfield’s and Williams’ commands
+greeted us with hearty cheers of genuine admiration.
+Onward the column rushes, and closing with the enemy
+delivers a terrible volley. The charge is continued, the
+air resounding with defiant cheers as the enemy is driven
+from the field and down a hill at a brisk run. It was<span class="pagenum" id="Page_100">[100]</span>
+now beginning to grow dark, and the impetuous rush of
+the men soon brought them within a short distance of a
+line of brush-covered work which concealed the enemy’s
+batteries, who at once opened a terrific and deadly fire of
+grape and canister into our ranks. Instantly falling on
+the ground, we deliver so destructive a fire on their
+cannoniers that their guns are soon silenced. Our left
+being without support, an attempt to carry their works
+was extremely hazardous. The regiment on our right
+had already retired some distance to our right rear, making
+the situation of the Twenty-ninth regiment one of
+great danger, but owing to the darkness we knew nothing
+of it until an officer of Geary’s staff came forward with
+an order to fall back, when we retired to a position some
+forty paces from the rebel line.</p>
+
+<p>The enemy had now ceased firing, and perfect silence
+reigned, only broken by the groans of the wounded and
+dying. The Twenty-ninth regiment had suffered severe
+loss, and only the favorable depression in its front saved
+it from annihilation. W. F. Stevens, captain of company
+B, was wounded in this action.</p>
+
+<p>The Fifth Ohio, on our right on higher ground, suffered
+fearfully from the masked batteries, one company being
+almost entirely decimated. This caused the regiment to
+retire to the knoll. Colonel Patrick, a most gallant
+officer of the Fifth, was killed, also seventy-five of his
+men killed and wounded. The loss of the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio in this charge was forty killed and wounded, shot
+down in almost the short space of time required to
+record it.</p>
+
+<p>It was not long before we heard tremendous cheering
+in the distance on our right front, which was caused by
+Sherman moving a force in that direction, turning the
+rebel flank, which was soon in full retreat. Immediately<span class="pagenum" id="Page_101">[101]</span>
+after, sounds were heard in the supposed deserted rebel
+works, which we believed were our own men who had
+recently occupied them, and by reason of this supposed
+safety our whole command was soon in slumber deep
+and heavy from exhaustion of the day’s labor.</p>
+
+<p>At early dawn on May 26th the enemy discovered our
+close proximity, and at once opened upon us with artillery,
+and at about the same time advanced its infantry
+to attack us in our rear. This movement was discovered,
+however, in time to prevent its further progress.
+After a hot fight the enemy retired to his fortifications.
+During the day several attempts were made in the same
+direction, but without effect. Near the close of the day
+we were temporarily relieved and retired to a ravine a
+few yards in our rear, where we received rations, the first
+“square meal” in two days.</p>
+
+<p>At an early hour the following morning (May 27th)
+our artillery took position at the breastworks and opened
+a furious cannonading, which is replied to with spirit by
+the rebel batteries. During the afternoon the enemy
+made a sortie on our line, a general engagement ensued,
+and the rebels were beaten back. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment loss was slight, we being well protected by rifle
+pits. The rebel loss in this attack was severe, their dead
+and wounded being thickly strewn in front of our works.
+During this attack General Sherman and staff took position
+in our rear. General Hooker is generally where the
+bullets fly thickest, and his utter disregard of danger has
+won the love of the “boys,” who call him “Uncle Joe,”
+and who are all, at any time, ready to go through fire if
+he so desires, knowing he will not ask them to go where
+he fears to lead.</p>
+
+<p>The battle continues throughout the following day,
+with brisk infantry firing and heavy cannonading almost<span class="pagenum" id="Page_102">[102]</span>
+incessantly. As night again shrouds the bloody field the
+Twenty-ninth regiment, with the exception of company
+B, which was on the skirmish line, relieved the Seventh
+Ohio, One Hundred and Ninth, and One Hundred and
+Forty-seventh Pennsylvania. The rebels were unusually
+quiet during the night. Company B remained on the
+skirmish nearly all of the following day and was kept
+hotly engaged. The company’s position was not more
+than eight rods from the rebel outposts, who made it extremely
+hot for us as we went back and forth to the relief
+of our comrades, and sometimes unsoldierly attitudes
+were assumed to evade their deadly aim. Late in the
+day company B was relieved. Henry Brainard, Spencer
+Atkin, and Henry Clark volunteered to go out and bring
+in the bodies of Albert Atkin, C. A. Davis, and Jerome
+Phinney, which they did, the enemy opening fire upon
+them with musketry and artillery, the deadly missiles flying
+thick and fast about them. Such was the treatment
+of the “chivalry” to men bravely exposing themselves
+to give Christian interment to the gallant men who had
+fought their last battle. However, none were injured.
+While performing the last sad rites of burial, the rebels
+came out in a sortie and made furious assaults along our
+entire line. Our men reserved their fire until the enemy
+were close upon them, when, at a given signal, some
+twenty cannon, double shotted with grape, opened fire,
+which made the earth tremble with their awful thunder,
+while the infantry sent deadly volleys into their ranks.
+The result of this fire was most terrible slaughter to the
+enemy, who broke and ran anywhere to cover, leaving
+several hundred dead and dying behind, the ground
+between the two lines being literally covered with the
+rebel dead. During the 30th there were several sharp
+fights, our regiment having several men wounded. May<span class="pagenum" id="Page_103">[103]</span>
+31st the regiment was under fire, as usual, the greater
+part of the day, and at night was engaged in the construction
+of an advanced line of works, under a heavy
+fire from the entire rebel line. Before they were fully
+completed the rebels commenced an attack and we fell
+back on the main line. General Geary being present,
+exclaimed, “Get back to your command in readiness for
+an engagement.” One ensued, which resulted in driving
+the enemy back with severe loss to them. We now
+resumed work and finally succeeded in completing the
+line, though continually annoyed by the enemy’s firing.</p>
+
+<p>On the morning of June 1st the regiment resumed its
+place on the front line and was soon furiously engaged,
+which continued during the fore part of the day. At
+noon the Twentieth corps was relieved by Logan’s Fifteenth
+corps and moved to the left as support to the
+Fourth corps (General Howard). The following morning
+we moved towards the left and at 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>
+formed line and pushed forward in concert with Schofield’s
+Twenty-third corps. We capture two lines of
+rebel works, the enemy falling back. That night we
+slept on our arms. At dawn on the 3d we advanced
+and were soon engaged with the enemy, the skirmishing
+along our whole line being very strong. During the day
+Sherman succeeded in turning the rebel right, causing
+him to retire with severe loss. Twenty-ninth loss:
+Killed, six; wounded, twenty-four; captured, one; total
+thirty-one. This is the tenth day we have been under
+fire. 4th.&mdash;Firing during all of last night. All quiet
+to-day.</p>

+<p class="center"><small>Advance to Pine Knob&mdash;Battle at that Place&mdash;A Forward Movement.</small></p>
+
+<p>At 5 o’clock on the morning of June 6th, the army
+pushed forward after the retreating enemy. When about
+two miles from Ackworth Station he makes a stand, and
+we wheel into line, the Twenty-ninth acting as skirmishers
+while the other troops were engaged in preparing
+rifle-pits. The Fourteenth corps now came up, forming
+on our left, and General Howard’s Fourth corps on our
+right. The position remained the same until June 10th,
+when the Twenty-ninth Ohio is sent forward on a reconnoissance.
+A large force of rebels are found to be
+strongly entrenched on Pine mountain. At dark the
+regiment returned to the main line, where the situation
+remains unchanged until June 14th, when our entire
+force move forward. The Twentieth, with the Fourth
+corps on its left, take position immediately in front of
+the rebel army, on Pine mountain. At evening the
+Twenty-ninth was again advanced to the skirmish line,
+and was engaged, as was our artillery, throughout the
+greater part of the night. On the following day, June
+15th, occurs the battle of Pine Knob, Georgia.</p>
+
+<p>At early dawn our regiment pushed forward as the
+advance of a general flank movement on Pine mountain,
+which resulted in its capture without severe fighting.
+The Twentieth corps was changed from the front to the
+right. Moving rapidly in that direction it soon reached
+another strongly entrenched position of the enemy,
+when the column made a left half wheel, which brought<span class="pagenum" id="Page_105">[105]</span>
+the first brigade of Geary’s division directly in front of
+Pine Knob.</p>
+
+<p>This position of the enemy was found to be strongly
+fortified. Twenty embrazures, from which as many cannon
+bristled, covered all the approaches to it. General
+Hooker ordered General Geary to send two regiments in
+a sortie against the rebel position, and the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments, the
+latter on our left, were at once forwarded to the assault.
+General Hooker, mounted on his famous gray charger,
+advanced with us, immediately in rear of our line. The
+general’s presence greatly encouraged the men in this
+desperate undertaking.</p>
+
+<p>On the hill were the twenty cannon, which we knew
+would soon belch forth destruction to our ranks. The
+two regiments silently but rapidly cross a ravine where
+they encounter two rebel regiments. These proved to
+be the First and Twenty-ninth Georgia. We opened
+fire briskly and charging upon them soon drove them in
+disorder to the rear.</p>
+
+<p>We pursued them so hotly that our standard-bearer
+was at one time within a few paces of the rebel Twenty-ninth
+Georgia colors, which we were making desperate
+efforts to capture. The rebel color-bearer was shot,
+but their flag was grasped again by another rebel who
+escaped with it into their fortification. But the regiment
+to which he belonged was nearly annihilated before it
+succeeded in regaining its main line. Our regiment had
+rushed upon them forcing them back step by step until
+they were under cover, and we had succeeded in killing,
+wounding, and taking prisoners all except the little handful
+who escaped with the flag. At the moment of their
+escape we made a dash to carry their fortifications, but
+were checked by abattis and a deep trench hidden by<span class="pagenum" id="Page_106">[106]</span>
+brush. At this point their artillery opened with murderous
+discharges of grape and canister, which produced
+terrible destruction in our ranks. Still the line stands
+firm. Another instant and our men are laying flat upon
+the ground and the deadly missiles go hissing harmlessly
+through the air over our heads. We now open a fire
+upon their cannoniers, so deadly in its character that the
+guns are soon silenced.</p>
+
+<p>Night was fast coming on when our line was ordered
+to fall back to a more secure position. The men now
+engage in the erection of earthworks within a few rods of
+the rebel fort on the knob, which placed the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio in the extreme front, our flanking regiments
+assuming a circular position on our right and left rear.
+We were under fire all night, the rebel infantry and artillery
+keeping up an almost continuous rattle in their
+endeavors to drive our men from their labors on the fortifications.
+Despite this, however, we held our position,
+though suffering a constant loss in our ranks.</p>
+
+<p>Just at daybreak on the 16th instant the Sixty-sixth
+Ohio, of our brigade from the reserve, relieved us; we,
+however, left them well protected by the strong earthworks
+constructed during the night.</p>
+
+<p>The Twenty-ninth Ohio regiment went into this
+action with two hundred members, of whom thirty-nine
+were killed and wounded. Among the killed was First
+Sergeant Joel E. Tanner, one of our bravest men. Soon
+after his death his commission reached us promoting
+him to a captaincy for bravery in action. God help that
+little wife of his in her far away northern home to bear
+his death bravely as the wife of a soldier should, even
+though all her hopes and bright anticipations seem shattered
+by the blow. Generals Joe Hooker and Geary
+announced in warm terms their admiration of the “gallant<span class="pagenum" id="Page_107">[107]</span>
+manner in which the Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania regiments conducted themselves in
+the assault on Pine Knob.” The former remarked that
+taking into consideration the deadly fire we were exposed
+to, we had accomplished that which he never saw so
+small a force attempt before. As he was present in the
+assault his opinion is of value.</p>
+
+<p>Sharp skirmishing and artillery firing continued along
+the line during the day. At night the Twenty-ninth
+regiment moved to the front, relieving the Sixty-sixth
+Ohio regiment. It was nearly morning when we discovered
+that the enemy were withdrawing their artillery.
+We at once advanced and possessed the rebel fortifications
+on the hill with little trouble, as the artillery had
+already withdrawn and the infantry were rapidly following.
+After daylight we pushed forward, only to find the
+enemy in another strong position, which we at once attacked.
+A rambling fire was kept up during the entire
+day.</p>
+
+<p>During the following day (June 18th) the same state
+of affairs continued, the firing extending along our entire
+front. At an early hour next morning the enemy retreated,
+and we moved in pursuit, the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio regiment, as usual, in the advance as skirmishers.
+Why, I believe the “boys” would have rebelled had they
+not been put on the skirmish line whenever there was a
+prospect of somebody being killed on our side. Rapidly
+we gained possession of two lines of hills, and soon
+found the enemy upon a third ridge, strongly fortified.
+A skirmish of two hours’ duration ensues, and we are
+ordered to fall back to the main line, as support to
+Bundy’s Thirteenth New York battery.</p>
+
+<p>June 20th the Twenty-ninth regiment and its brigade
+are in line three miles southwest of Marietta, Georgia,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_108">[108]</span>
+and skirmished all day with the enemy. As night came
+on our division moved to the right, forming on the right
+of Butterfield’s Third division. Our regiment was again
+on the skirmish line, and in active engagement during
+the greater part of the night. The next morning we
+formed line of battle near Culp’s farm and to the right
+of Little Kenesaw mountain. At about 11 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> our
+regiment was withdrawn from the skirmish line, and at
+once began throwing up rifle-pits parallel with works of
+Williams’ First division on our right and Butterfield’s on
+our left. The Third brigade of the Second division now
+advanced and engaged the enemy, our single line affording
+feeble protection in the event of an attack on our
+position.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Battle of Culp’s Farm or Kenesaw Mountain&mdash;The Glorious Fourth&mdash;Advance
+to the Chattahoochie.</small></p>
+
+<p>June 22d we move to the front, and occupy a ridge on
+Culp’s farm, which covers the level on our front. We
+had been but a short time in this position when the
+rebel General Hood’s corps was moved directly on our
+front, and immediately advanced in furious attack upon
+the divisions of Generals Geary and Williams. Our
+artillery was at once turned upon the advancing rebel
+columns, which, with the terrific volleys our infantry
+poured into their ranks, produced a sudden check to their
+further advance, and in less than one hour these two
+divisions succeeded in beating back and putting to total
+rout Hood’s entire command, which suffered great loss,
+while ours was but slight. The enemy left on the field
+2,100 killed, wounded, and prisoners, besides many
+wounded, removed from the field. The estimated rebel
+loss was 3,000 men. Eight hundred of the rebel dead
+were buried on the field.</p>
+
+<p>At the close of this action a body of our skirmishers
+were deployed over the field, finding the enemy’s dead
+and wounded scattered thickly about. In places they
+lay stretched across each other, literally heaped up,
+bloody, terrible&mdash;dead. Our skirmishers advanced rapidly,
+and were soon engaged with the enemy’s rear, but
+this soon ceased, and we established a picket line for the
+night. We remained on the field until noon of the 23d,
+when we were retired and rejoined the main line.</p>
+
+<p>At about 4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, one hundred guns opened a<span class="pagenum" id="Page_110">[110]</span>
+simultaneous fire on Little Kenesaw mountain. Directly
+in front of our regiment and across the creek, which flows
+along the base of the mountain, is level ground. At
+this point is situated a block-house and rifle-pits, the
+latter between the house and mountain, and both now
+held by rebel sharpshooters, who were continually picking
+off our cannoniers. General Geary, evidently contemplating
+an advance of his line, called for twenty
+volunteers from the Twenty-ninth regiment to dislodge
+these troublesome occupants of the block-house and
+rifle-pits. In response to this call two men from each
+company came quickly forward, and at once advanced
+across the creek and ravine. The rebels soon discovered
+the detachment; and opened fire upon it. Sergeant
+Griswold, of Company B, in command, rapidly advanced
+his men up the rise of open ground lying between him
+and the enemy, and with a rush amidst a perfect storm
+of bullets, closed on the rifle-pits, capturing all who
+remained in them.</p>
+
+<p>We now approach the rear of the block-house and
+demand its surrender. The rebel lieutenant in command
+exclaimed from the window of the house: “You
+d&mdash;d yanks, take us if you can!” and immediately
+opened fire. The door of the house is soon battered
+down, and the rebels attempt to cut their way out.
+Finding themselves covered by nearly a score of rifles,
+aimed by determined men, all, with the exception of the
+rebel lieutenant and one other, threw down their arms
+and surrendered. The rebel officer fired on the captors
+and lost his life by his rashness. We had now a total of
+twenty-one prisoners. Several others were killed or
+badly wounded. The former were sent at once to the
+rear, and the little force deployed along the road to hold
+the position until reinforcements should arrive. However,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_111">[111]</span>
+they were not furnished, and after holding the position
+some two hours a heavy body of rebels came
+upon us, stealing along under cover of the bushes on
+the opposite side of the road, suddenly arose and fired
+a volley at us. The speed we made across the level
+field with the rebels in hot pursuit, their bullets whistling
+past our ears in the most energetic manner, would have
+dismayed a professional pedestrian.</p>
+
+<p>June 24th, skirmishing during the day. As night
+came on a detachment of the Twenty-ninth regiment
+was sent out on picket. Nothing occurred during the
+night, and at dawn we returned to our brigade, where
+orders were received to hold ourselves in readiness to
+move on notice, cannonading and skirmish fighting being
+kept up along the line.</p>
+
+<p>The situation remained unchanged until June 27th.
+At an early hour this morning two men from each company
+of our regiment volunteered to advance to the relief
+of the Pennsylvania regiment on the outposts, and
+about 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> we moved forward. We were also
+to dislodge the rebel sharpshooters, who had been allowed
+to again possess the block-house and rifle-pits. Crossing
+the creek and ravine we made a quick dash toward the
+locality mentioned, amid a hot cross-fire from rebels
+along the fence before referred to. But as we close the
+rebels abandon the block-house and rifle-pits, yet dispute
+with the energy of desperation, every inch of our advance
+as they retire. We, however, gained possession
+of the road beyond the house, an important position
+covering the rebel left on Little Kenesaw.</p>
+
+<p>They now opened fire on us from the mountain on
+our left and front. Making a flank movement to the
+left we came up in rear of some rebel rifle-pits, capturing
+eleven prisoners and holding the position until the<span class="pagenum" id="Page_112">[112]</span>
+Fifth Ohio regiment came to our support. That regiment
+at once began to fortify, while we remained on the
+skirmish line under constant fire. The enemy discovered
+the work of the Fifth and trained their batteries
+from different directions on our position, and also advanced
+infantry, who made repeated attempts to dislodge
+us. Solid shot and shell came crashing through
+the block-house, the shells bursting amongst us in quick
+succession. Nor were their musketry behind in sending
+their death-dealing missiles upon us.</p>
+
+<p>Knapp’s battery soon came up the hill, and swinging
+into position, unlimbered and opened a rapid cross-fire
+on Little Kenesaw mountain. About this time the
+Fourteenth, with a portion of the Fourth corps, made a
+desperate assault on the mountain a short distance to our
+left. The engagement now became serious, one shell
+killing twelve and another six of our men. To hold the
+position we had captured was an arduous undertaking,
+and so severe was the fighting that those of us who had
+advanced early in the morning had fired nearly two hundred
+rounds. At dusk the fighting ceased, and we are
+recalled to our command.</p>
+
+<p>June 28th.&mdash;This morning at sunrise we advance
+obliquely to the right, and, reaching an advanced position,
+throw up fortifications; rebel batteries open fire on us
+meanwhile. Our lookout, as he sees smoke issue from
+the rebel guns, calls out: “Lay down,” “lay low,” or
+“look out, she’s coming,” etc. Many laughable and other
+incidents occurred during this bombardment, such as attempts
+to dodge shells, etc. Charles Upton, of Company
+G, while carrying a rail, had it cut in two by a shell; he,
+however, escaped unhurt.</p>
+
+<p>June 29th.&mdash;To-day the Fourteenth corps obtained a
+temporary truce under flag, during which they interred<span class="pagenum" id="Page_113">[113]</span>
+their dead. An assault is made on this corps during the
+early part of the night, but is repulsed, and we were not
+again disturbed.</p>
+
+<p>June 30th.&mdash;During this afternoon the Twenty-ninth
+regiment received orders to move. About 10 o’clock at
+night our corps (the Twentieth) was relieved by the
+Fourteenth. We at once marched several miles to the
+right in relief of the Twenty-third corps.</p>
+
+<p>On July 1st our regiment was again engaged. The
+fighting ceased only with daylight. Sharp skirmishing
+and severe cannonading continued during the entire day
+of the 2d, and at night the Twenty-ninth regiment occupied
+its customary position&mdash;on the skirmish line. This
+time, however, it was accompanied by the Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania. Just before daylight on the morning of
+July 3d, the enemy were found to be retreating, and we
+at once moved forward to find the works deserted, the
+troops having evacuated. The position, as supposed,
+was almost impregnable to direct assault, being constructed
+to enfilade an attack of infantry.</p>
+
+<p>The army now push forward in pursuit of the retreating
+rebels, the Twenty-ninth Ohio and Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania taking the advance in the order of heavy
+skirmishers. We soon came upon Wheeler’s rebel
+cavalry, and engaged his dismounted men so promptly
+that they fell precipitately back to where their horses
+were picketed. The Twenty-ninth succeeded in capturing
+nearly one hundred of them in their hurried efforts
+to remount. The Second division during the pursuit
+captured nearly nine hundred prisoners. The rebels were
+steadily falling back on the Chattahoochie river. It was
+late when we halted for the night. How sweet the wooing
+of the drowsy god after such long continued fatigue,
+only those who have been there can imagine, the soft side<span class="pagenum" id="Page_114">[114]</span>
+of a rail on such occasions being more luxurious than
+any patent spring contrivance of to-day.</p>
+
+<p>July 4th. On this day, made glorious to all this goodly
+land by the forefathers of both the blue and gray, was
+celebrated by the issue of full rations of hard-tack,
+s&mdash;&mdash;, bacon, and coffee, and wonderful feats of gormandizing
+ensued. To make the day something of a
+reminder of the Northern anniversary, with its tearing
+headache of the 5th, General “Joe” ordered an issue
+of liquor to the men, the first of the campaign. About
+4 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> we broke camp and marched towards the
+left, but soon came to a halt for the night.</p>
+
+<p>At dawn on the following day we pushed forward and
+took possession of a line of works the rebels had only
+evacuated on our approach. They are now crossing
+Chattahoochie river. The advance is continued until
+within about one and one-half miles of the river, where
+we encounter a second line of rebel works, occupied by
+the enemy to cover the retreat across the river.</p>
+
+<p>July 6th we occupy the position of yesterday. During
+the forenoon our regiment was support of Bundy’s
+New York battery, engaged in shelling the rebels from a
+fort. About 2 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> we returned with the battery to the
+main line, and one hour later moved with our division to
+the left and formed line of battle, in which position we
+passed the night. On the day following we marched to
+the left and assumed position in line between the Fourteenth
+and Fifteenth corps. Sharp skirmishing was kept
+up nearly all night. This position is maintained by our
+regiment, with daily skirmishing, until the early dawn of
+July 10th, when the Twenty-ninth Ohio is pushed forward
+on a reconnoissance. We discover that the enemy
+have retreated across the Chattahoochie. On reaching
+the river we deploy as skirmishers along the north bank,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_115">[115]</span>
+the enemy being posted along the opposite side. Atlanta
+lies only nine miles to the south of us. The rebel
+army of General Joe E. Johnston is said to be strongly
+intrenched some four miles south of our position. A
+small number only of rebels remain on the opposite bank
+of the Chattahoochie. The Union and rebel pickets
+are on good terms, often meeting in the middle of the
+river, where they exchange coffee for tobacco, which, by
+the way, was a very scarce article with us. The Twenty-ninth
+Ohio regiment now musters only one hundred and
+fifty men for duty. The mustering officer tells us that
+we have lost more men killed and wounded in proportion
+to the number present at the beginning of this campaign
+than any regiment in the Western army.</p>
+
+<p>July 6, we were in support of a battery during the
+forenoon. During the afternoon we moved to the left,
+camping in a beautiful grove of pines.</p>
+
+<p>7th. Moved forward some three miles, to a ridge
+commanding a fine view of the country.</p>
+
+<p>11th. The rebels have crossed Chattahoochie river.
+Our pickets are posted on its north bank.</p>
+
+<p>17th. Moved forward to the left, crossed the Chattahoochie
+river at Peace ferry about 9 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span></p>
+
+<p>18th. Moved forward some two miles, skirmishing
+much of the distance.</p>
+
+<p>19th. Advanced to Peach Tree creek, which we
+crossed, encountering the enemy and taking some
+prisoners.</p>

+
+<p class="center"><small>Battle of Peach Tree Creek&mdash;Some of the “boys” go to Andersonville.</small></p>
+
+<p>On the morning of July 20th, just as old Sol was tinting
+the east with his rosy hue, our army began a general
+forward movement, the Twentieth corps in this advance
+being on the right centre, the Fourth corps left, resting
+on our right, and Newton’s division (Fourth corps) connecting
+with our left. Slight skirmishing ensued early
+in the morning, but towards noon the enemy retired.
+The unbroken stillness which followed caused us to advance
+cautiously lest the rebels draw us into an ambush.
+On reaching Peach Tree creek, a narrow, sluggish stream,
+whose abrupt banks, covered with briars and a dense,
+almost impassable undergrowth, would be a fatal barrier
+to a routed army, especially as the stream was without
+bridges, the entire command came to a halt until crossings
+could be constructed. Previous to the crossing of
+the main line General Geary ordered forward a force in
+reconnoissance, consisting of the Twenty-ninth Ohio,
+Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania, a detachment of the
+Thirty-third New Jersey, and four pieces of Bundy’s
+New York battery, Geary himself following and directing
+the movement. When once across we advanced
+over several rough sparsely wooded ravines until reaching
+an eminence overlooking a narrow, open valley
+on our front and left. Immediately on our right
+front was a piece of heavy timber, extending also on
+our rear. The ridge directly in our front was covered
+with a thick undergrowth, affording a fine position for an<span class="pagenum" id="Page_117">[117]</span>
+ambuscade. Our force was now brought to a halt.
+Bundy’s battery was hastily put into position on the ridge
+to cover the valley. The Twenty-ninth Ohio assumed
+position on the right, and the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+on the left of the battery. D. E. Hurlburt, captain of
+company K, had charge of a detail from the Twenty-ninth
+and Sixty-sixth Ohio regiments in the skirmish of
+the timber, so he states.</p>
+
+<p>The detachment of the Thirty-third New Jersey
+deployed as skirmishers across the valley in our front,
+General Geary and staff following closely in its rear.
+While they were advancing, we hastily constructed a
+light barricade of fence rails, and Bundy prepared his
+battery for business. We anxiously watched General
+Geary and the skirmishers as they cautiously moved up
+the ridge.</p>
+
+<p>When within a few yards of the underbrush a large
+force of rebels came from cover, and with wild yells
+rushed forward. Captain Bundy at once opened fire
+upon them, which threw them into disorder, but did not
+check their advance. As Geary and staff passed over our
+line his chief, Captain Elliott, fell from his horse, shot
+dead. Geary shouted to us, “A general engagement! a
+general engagement! My brave men hold to your position.
+I will send support to you.” He was answered
+with rousing cheers. When the little remnant of the
+skirmishing force had come in we commenced a rapid
+fire in connection with Captain Bundy’s double-shotted
+guns, which speedily thinned the advancing columns of
+rebels, but without avail, as the breaks were at once filled
+with fresh troops. As the rebels attempted to close with
+us our men seemed to be endowed with the valor born
+of desperation, and clubbed them back. Forward they
+came, a dense mass of living fire, and bravely we sustained<span class="pagenum" id="Page_118">[118]</span>
+the shock of twenty times our number. The
+sharp rattle of musketry, the loud roar of Bundy’s guns,
+and the defiant shouts of the combatants, in close hand
+to hand conflict, can never be erased from the tablets of
+memory while life shall last. It was grandly, awfully
+terrible.</p>
+
+<p>A dense smoke settled around the battery and enclosing
+the extreme left of the regiment, hid the position of
+our right. Suddenly firing begins on us from our rear.
+The cannoniers are disabled and the infantry are called
+upon to work the guns, which were instantly turned to
+the rear upon heavy masses of rebels advancing from
+the woods on our flank. The greater part of our regiment
+had discovered this movement in time to change
+front to rear, but were instantly forced back by the overwhelming
+numbers of the rebels, and those in charge of
+the battery were instantly surrounded by a powerful mob
+of yelling fiends. Still the double-shotted guns continue
+to belch forth fire and death, cutting great gaps in the
+ranks of the enemy at each discharge.</p>
+
+<p>At the guns’ front, with muskets clubbed, a hand to
+hand conflict was had, to allow the reloading of the guns.
+The situation was now most desperate. A cordon of
+the enemy hemmed in the brave band, now reduced to
+but seventy men, whose ammunition was exhausted, and
+at last they were forced to surrender the battery. Henry
+Rood, of company A, and Henry E. Clark, company B,
+are the only names the writer has been able to secure of
+those captured at this time.</p>
+
+<p>General Geary came up soon after, charged the enemy
+and recovered the battery, which was instantly turned
+upon the rebels, causing great destruction. The prisoners
+were, however, too far in the rear for recapture, and
+they were conveyed to that loathsome earthly hell, Andersonville.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_119">[119]</span>
+What they endured, the cruelties of the studied
+starvation by express order of chivalric Jeff Davis, and
+the horrible atrocities accorded to defenseless prisoners
+by the Southern opponents in this unholy, ungodly conflict,
+the writer will not attempt to describe; language
+fails in the recital. Loss: Killed, two; wounded, seven;
+captured, five; total fourteen.</p>

+<p>July 21st, heavy skirmishing on our right. 22d, we
+moved forward in pursuit of the retreating rebels. 23d,
+we are now strongly intrenched, within two miles of
+Atlanta, Georgia; lively skirmishing much of the time.
+24th, shelling and picket firing to-day; rebels charged

+26th, advanced our line forty rods. 27th, quiet along

+
+<p>August 1st to 3d, hot firing all the time. 4th, National
+Thanksgiving Day; fighting on our right; rebels
+driven back; skirmishing every day&mdash;all the time; getting
+monotonous. 25th, left our works and fell back to the
+Chattahoochie river, near Vining station; marched all
+night. 27th, Major-general W. H. Slocum assumed
+command of the Twentieth army corps.</p>
+
+<p>September 4th, moved forward to Atlanta, which we
+reached about 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>; marched through the
+city and went into camp about one and one-half miles
+west of the city. 6th, received an order from General
+Sherman that the campaign was ended, and that the
+troops are to have a full month’s rest; that our task was
+not only done, but well done. 12th, the citizens of Atlanta
+were moved south to-day; from this date we lay
+in camp with little to mar our happiness till November
+1st, when we received orders to send all our baggage to
+the rear and put ourselves in light marching order.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_121">[121]</span>
+November 5th, orders having been received for the
+troops to move, the Twenty-ninth struck tents and
+marched from Atlanta at 3:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> in the direction of
+Stone Mountain, some three miles, and camped for the
+night. At 1 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> on the following day, the regiment
+marched back to Atlanta, and again occupied its
+old camp.</p>
+
+<p>During the afternoon of the 1st of September specific
+orders for the withdrawal of Stewart’s rebel <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">corps de
+armee</i> and the militia were issued, and about sunset the
+latter were withdrawn from the trenches. When they
+were fairly on the road Stewart’s corps followed, all being
+en route by midnight, except the cavalry, a brigade or
+two of infantry, and the pickets. These latter remained
+until the advance of the Twentieth corps neared the city
+on the morning of the 2d. The explosion of ammunition
+was of course heard at the position of the Twentieth
+corps, and though General Slocum (who it appears was
+in command of the Twentieth corps at the time) had received
+no intelligence of Sherman’s great success at
+Jonesboro, he was not unprepared to find Hood gone
+any morning, and the explosions convinced him that the
+withdrawal was taking place. He instantly issued orders
+to his division commanders, Generals Ward, Williams,
+and Geary, to send out each a heavy reconnoissance at
+daybreak on the morning of the 2d.</p>
+
+<p>About 1,000 men were detailed from each division,
+and at 5 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> pushed forward on neighboring roads into
+Atlanta on the north and northwest, encountering no opposition.
+They pushed rapidly forward, and at 8 o’clock
+came in sight of the rebel intrenchments, so lately occupied
+with enemies but now silent and deserted.</p>
+
+<p>Advancing rapidly, Colonel Coburn, commanding
+General Ward’s reconnoissance, entered the enemy’s<span class="pagenum" id="Page_122">[122]</span>
+works, encountering in the suburbs Mayor Calhoun, of
+Atlanta, and a deputation of the city council. The former
+nervously presented a paper surrendering the city
+and asking protection. Colonel Coburn refused to receive
+the paper for informality, and directed that another
+should be drawn up. Mayor Calhoun invited several of
+General Ward’s staff to accompany him to the court-house,
+where the documents should be made <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">en regle</i>,
+promising at the same time to expel the drunken rebel
+stragglers, who were lingering in the streets and were disposed
+to skirmish with our advance. He immediately
+took measures to effect the last, and accompanied by the
+officers whose names are offered in attest, he returned to
+the court-house, and the following document was drawn
+up:</p>

+Union arms in the late battles. In the battle of the
+20th instant, in which the Twentieth corps, one division
+of the Fourth corps, and part of the Fourteenth corps
+were engaged, the total union loss in killed, wounded,

+there were put out of the fight 6,000 rebels; 563 of the
+enemy were buried by our own troops, and the rebels
+were permitted to bury 250. The Second division of
+the Fourth corps repulsed seven different assaults of the
+enemy with light loss to themselves, and which must
+have swelled the number of dead buried by the rebels to
+beyond 300. We also captured seven stands of colors.
+No official report has been received of the part taken in
+the battle by the Fourteenth corps. In the battle of the
+22d instant, the total Union loss in killed, wounded, and
+missing was 3,500, and also 10 pieces of artillery. The
+rebel loss in prisoners captured was 3,200. The known
+dead of the enemy in front of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth
+corps and one division of the Seventeenth corps
+was 2,142. The other divisions of the Seventeenth<span class="pagenum" id="Page_124">[124]</span>
+corps repulsed six assaults of the enemy before they fell
+back, and which will swell the rebel loss in killed to at
+least 3,000. The latest reports state that we buried over

+<p>“The officers and soldiers of the armies of the Cumberland,
+Ohio, and Tennessee have already received the
+thanks of the Nation through its President and commander
+in chief, and it remains now only for him who
+has been with you from the beginning, and who intends
+to stay all the time, to thank the officers and men for
+their intelligence, fidelity, and courage displayed in the
+campaign of Atlanta. On the 1st day of May our armies
+were lying in garrison, seemingly quiet, from Knoxville
+to Huntsville, and our enemy lay behind his rocky-faced
+barrier at Dalton, proud, defiant, and exultant. He
+had time since Christmas to recover from his discomfiture
+on the Mission Ridge, with his ranks filled, and a
+new commander in chief, second to none of the Confederacy
+in reputation for skill, sagacity, and extreme
+popularity. All at once our armies assumed life and
+action and appeared before Dalton. Threatening Rocky
+Face, we threw ourselves upon Resaca, and the rebel
+army only escaped by the rapidity of its retreat, aided
+by the numerous roads with which he was familiar, and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_125">[125]</span>
+which were strange to us. Again he took post, at Allatoona,
+but we gave him no rest, and by a circuit toward
+Dallas and a subsequent movement to Ackworth, we
+gained the Allatoona pass. Then followed the eventful
+battles about Kenesaw and the escape of the enemy
+across the Chattahoochie river. The crossing of the
+Chattahoochie and breaking of the Augusta road was
+most handsomely executed by us, and will be studied as
+an example in the art of war. At this stage of our game
+our enemies became dissatisfied with their old and skilful
+commander and selected one more bold and rash.
+New tactics were adopted. Hood first boldly and
+rapidly on the 20th of July fell on our right at Peach
+Tree creek, and lost again. On the 22d he struck our
+extreme left and was severely punished; and finally again
+on the 28th he repeated the attempt on our right, and
+that time must have been satisfied, for since that date he
+has remained on the defensive. We slowly and gradually
+drew our lines about Atlanta, feeling for the railroads
+which supplied the rebel army and made Atlanta a place
+of importance. We must concede to our enemy that
+he met these efforts patiently and skilfully, but at last he
+made the mistake we had waited for so long and sent
+his cavalry to our rear, far beyond the reach of recall.
+Instantly our cavalry was on his only remaining road,
+and we followed quickly with our principal army, and
+Atlanta fell into our possession as the fruit of well-concerted
+measures, backed by a brave and competent army.
+This completed the grand task which had been assigned
+us by our Government, and your general again repeats
+his personal and official thanks to all the officers and
+men composing this army for the indomitable courage
+and perseverance which alone could give success. We
+have beaten our enemy on every ground he has chosen,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_126">[126]</span>
+and have wrested from him his own Gate city, where
+were located his foundries, arsenals, and workshops,
+deemed secure on account of their distance from our
+base and the seeming impregnable obstacles intervening.
+Nothing is impossible to an army like this, determined
+to vindicate a government wherever our flag has once
+floated, and resolved to maintain them at any and all
+cost.</p>
+
+<p>“In our campaign many, yea very many of our noble
+and gallant comrades have preceded us to our common
+destination, the grave; but they have left the memory
+of deeds on which a Nation can build a proud history.
+McPherson, Harker, McCook, and others dear to us all,
+are now the binding links in our minds that should attach
+more closely together the living, who have to complete
+the task which still lies before us in the dim
+future.</p>
+
+<p>“I ask all to continue as they have so well begun, the
+cultivation of the soldierly virtues that have ennobled
+our own and other countries,&mdash;courage, patience, obedience
+to the laws and constituted authorities of our
+Government, fidelity to our trusts, and good feeling
+among each other; each trying to excel the other in the
+practice of those high qualities, and it will then require
+no prophet to foretell that our country will, in time,
+emerge from this war purified by the fires of war and
+worthy its great founder, Washington.</p>

+<p>Tuesday, the 8th instant, the Twenty-ninth was very
+busy holding election. Detachments from other organizations
+were permitted to vote at the Twenty-ninth headquarters.
+The Twenty-ninth regiment cast three hundred
+and eighty-four votes. Of these Lincoln received
+three hundred and fifty and McClellan thirty-four.
+During the day the regiment was wide awake and
+enthusiastic, and gave every soldier a chance to vote.
+At 6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> on the following day, while the regiment
+was in tents eating breakfast, the rebels opened a lively
+fire with artillery, at short range. The enemy approached
+our picket, which was posted west of camp, covering the
+Sandtown road, who were surprised and fell back without
+firing a shot; hence the first intimation that we had that
+the enemy was near was the report of their artillery and
+the bursting of shells in our midst. The Twenty-ninth
+fell in and took position behind the fortification which
+the regiment had constructed. In the meantime a line
+of skirmishers was sent out and soon the enemy were
+driven back. A portion of the brigade was sent out on

+and at 8 o’clock in the evening the city of Atlanta took
+fire and was nearly annihilated. Saturday, the 12th, in
+camp, and all is quiet. Sunday, November 13th, the
+Twenty-ninth was detailed to tear up and destroy the
+railroad, and 7:30 marched out on the railroad leading
+to Chattanooga, and was engaged until 10 at night in
+burning the ties and bending the rails. At night the

+in camp; all quiet. A man in company I was
+injured by falling from a building. 15th instant,

+mountain in a southeast direction from Atlanta, and
+at 6 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> halted and went into camp (marched fifteen

+detailed for picket; fell in and moved east about
+three-fourths of a mile, passing through the woods and
+advancing into an open country; during its stay on<span class="pagenum" id="Page_129">[129]</span>
+picket duty some of the boys went out on a foraging expedition,
+and it is not necessary to state that they were
+successful, and that honey, sweet potatoes, and some

+marched back to Davisboro, and camped for the night;
+nothing special transpired during the night except the
+burning of a house, which accidentally (?) took fire;

+about ten miles; halted at 12 <span class="allsmcap">M.</span> for dinner, at a creek
+where the rebels had destroyed the bridge, and while
+preparing dinner, the Twenty-ninth regiment was ordered
+to fall in, which it did without delay, and marched to
+the creek; the enemy was found on its opposite bank in
+considerable force; the regiment was ordered to drive
+the enemy out of the timber, force them back and hold
+them while the bridge was being rebuilt; we loaded our
+guns, and crossing the bank four companies under Captain
+Schoonover advanced to the right up the road,
+through the timber (which was a thick undergrowth)
+driving the enemy out of the woods and into an open
+field about one mile from the bridge; barricaded the
+road with rails, and the other six companies under Major
+Wright, advanced direct to the point through the woods
+about one mile, the enemy falling back; the regiment
+held its position until the bridge was rebuilt, and a
+crossing effected, and late in the <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> the brigade
+moved through the swamp and camped for the night.
+3d, remained in camp until after dinner, then moved

+all the forenoon, had no dinner; marched in the afternoon,
+halted at 7 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> and camped for the night, near
+Springfield; marched twelve miles. 8th, marched at
+6:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> and camped at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> near Eden.</p>
+
+<p>9th instant at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, moved six miles and halted
+thirty minutes for dinner at Wallhower Swamp, where
+the Confederates were found in force. The fallen timber
+which obstructed the road was soon removed by the
+Pioneer corps, and in the meantime with the Third
+brigade, of Geary’s division in the advance, had a sharp
+skirmish with the rebels. While the road was being
+cleared the Second division were resting on their arms,
+except the Third brigade, which had advanced nearly
+through the swamp. While engaged with the enemy
+the train was ordered forward, and the Twenty-ninth
+regiment advanced on double-quick in support of the
+brigade thus engaged. Passing the train it reached the
+Third brigade, which had advanced about one mile and
+a half. The Twenty-ninth immediately formed line on
+the left of the road in rear of the Third brigade, and
+skirmished until dark, when the firing ceased. During
+the night the rebels fell back. 10th instant, moved at
+7 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> and marched through the swamp where we
+found small earth works and two small field pieces
+masked to cover the road through the swamp, but when
+the boys in blue were discovered the rebels moved to
+the rear. The regiment marched thirteen miles with
+some skirmishing and artillery firing during the day and
+night.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_132">[132]</span></p>
+
+<p>When about four miles from the city of Savannah,
+Georgia, rebel artillery was found to be in the road behind
+earthworks to impede our progress. The Twenty-ninth
+regiment, with the brigade, filed to the left of the
+road and took position in the timber, where it bivouacked
+for the night. After leaving Atlanta, Georgia, on the
+15th day of November, 1864, the army was designated
+as the Army of Georgia, the Twelfth and Fourteenth
+corps, known as the left wing, commanded by Major-general
+H. W. Slocum, and the Fifteenth and Seventeenth
+corps, known as the right wing, commanded by
+Major-general O. O. Howard, Major-general William T.
+Sherman in command of the Army of Georgia.</p>
+
+<p>On this march the army cut loose from the base of
+supplies at Atlanta, and lived mostly from forage on the
+country. On reaching the enemy within four miles of
+Savannah, on the 10th day of December, the division
+had accumulated several hundred head of cattle. Sunday,
+December 11th, moved in the morning about one
+mile, and took a position near the rebel lines, the
+Twenty-ninth regiment, on the extreme left of the line,
+with its left reaching the Savannah river. While in this
+position the rebels opened fire with artillery from a fort
+immediately in our front, and the infantry from their
+strong line of works, kept up a continual fire. The
+brigade remained in line until late in the afternoon, sustaining
+slight loss, when it fell back through the open
+field into the woods and laid on arms all night. On the
+12th inst., at 2:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, fell in and advanced to the
+front about one-half mile to the old levee, and thence
+filed to the left. Marched about three-fourths of a mile,
+halted, and prepared to charge the rebels. To do so
+the right had to pass a dike or canal with four or five
+feet of water, and assault the fort and breastworks in<span class="pagenum" id="Page_133">[133]</span>
+open field. The charge was abandoned, and at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>
+the regiment returned to camp, where we remained
+skirmishing and artillery firing during the day. On the
+13th inst. the Twenty-ninth was on skirmish line all day.
+During the night we advanced our line through a woods,
+which was heavy pine, mixed with live oak, within two
+hundred yards of the rebel line, where they were strongly
+intrenched. Between the contending armies was no
+timber except scattering undergrowth, and a canal near
+the rebel line of works. In this advanced position the
+regiment dug rifle-pits, which were strongly barricaded
+with timber.</p>
+
+<p>In the lines of rifle-pits our pickets were stationed and
+performed the duty of skirmishers, being relieved
+every twenty-four hours, which was done under cover of
+night. In the meantime the regiment fell back about
+one-fourth of a mile, and constructed works of heavy
+timber, in the rear of which the men put up their shelter
+tents. Here they could partake of the scanty rations (but
+dare not sleep), as the artillery firing and skirmishing
+was kept up continually day and night on the 14th, 15th,
+16th and 17th; and Sunday, the 18th, skirmishing and
+artillery duelling all along the line. On the 19th skirmishing
+all day. In the evening a detail was made from our
+brigade under the command of Major Myron T. Wright,
+to construct new lines of works. While engaged in the
+work at 7 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, he received a severe wound in the
+left foot (at which time Captain Jonas Schoonover took
+command), the ball entering the foot a little below the
+instep, and lodged into the center of the heel about one
+inch from the bottom of the foot. On the 20th, firing
+all along the line. This ceased at 11 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> The
+Twenty-ninth regiment, with its brigade and division,
+has been in position on the left of the road leading<span class="pagenum" id="Page_134">[134]</span>
+from Springfield to the city of Savannah, with its main
+line in the timber, its right resting on the river. During
+the ten days the command remained in front of Savannah
+it took charge of large rice mills on the river, and
+supplied the men with rice. The quartermaster used
+large quantities for the train teams. At one time rice
+sold for fifty cents per quart (before the capture of Fort
+McAllister, on December 13th, 1864). The rebels in
+our front were behind a heavy line of works, which was
+surmounted with large timber called head logs, with port
+holes in their front. At their rear was a large body of
+timber, their right rested on the river, where they had
+constructed two forts, one near the river, and the other
+a short distance west along their line, where they had a
+strong position behind sand bags. But our lines were
+advancing nearer every day, and during the night of
+December 20th they evacuated their works, and fell back
+to Savannah, crossing the river into South Carolina.
+At 4 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, on the 21st day of December, the Twenty-ninth
+fell in, and moved in the advance of the brigade
+to the front. Passing the rifle-pits, it filed to the left,
+across the canal near the rebel fort, finding their works
+and entire line evacuated. We moved on in the direction
+of Savannah. On reaching the city, the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments
+moved down the river to Fort Jackson, which had been
+evacuated and set on fire. The regiments reached the
+fort at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and at 12 o’clock at night the rebels blew
+up their gunboat Beauregard. We remained at the fort
+until December 24th, with the usual routine of camp and
+garrison duty. In the meantime the Twenty-ninth took
+an inventory of the ordnance and ordnance stores captured
+by the Twenty-ninth regiment and the Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania in Fort Jackson and other forts<span class="pagenum" id="Page_135">[135]</span>
+along the Savannah river. On the 24th instant the regiment
+was ordered to move at 9 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> The Twenty-ninth,
+in rear of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania volunteers,
+marched to the city of Savannah, passing through
+it, and encamping on the west side.</p>
+
+<p>On the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th, fixing company
+quarters, and attending to the usual routine
+of camp and guard duty. Friday, the 30th, the
+army reviewed. The Twenty-ninth regiment moved
+from camp at 8:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>, and marched to Liberty street
+in the city of Savannah, where it joined the brigade
+formed on the left, in prolongation with the Sixty-sixth
+regiment of Ohio volunteers. After review it returned
+to its old camp at 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span> Saturday, the 31st,
+inspection and muster for pay at 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span></p>
+
+<p>January 1, 1865, monthly inspection at 2 o’clock <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>
+2d, 3d, 4th and 5th, nothing occurred except the
+usual camp duty. 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th, in camp, and
+up to the 18th the Twenty-ninth was doing camp duty,
+and on the 18th received news of the fall of Fort Fisher.
+From the 19th to the 25th engaged in camp duty and

+“Captain W. T. Forbes, assistant adjutant general:<br />
+</p>
+
+<p>“In compliance with circular order No. 144, I have
+the honor to submit the following report of the operations
+of this brigade, from the capture of Atlanta, September
+2, 1864, to the occupation of Savannah, Georgia,
+December 21, 1864, etc., etc....
+December 2d, the march was resumed at daybreak and
+was uninterrupted until Buckhead creek was reached.
+The bridge over this place was partially destroyed, and a
+few of the enemy’s cavalry were on the opposite side of
+the swamp. Major Wright, commanding the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio volunteers, was ordered to cross the creek<span class="pagenum" id="Page_137">[137]</span>
+with his regiment and drive and keep away this force,
+which was accomplished without loss. The command
+camped for the night near Buckhead church....
+December 12th to December 20th inclusive, a substantial
+line of works was thrown up for the protection of
+the command from the artillery of the enemy, and in
+addition to this two forts, with thirteen embrasures in
+the aggregate, were constructed by the command. The
+working parties on Fort No. 2 were under the command
+of Captain Kreicler, One Hundred and Forty-seventh
+Pennsylvania volunteers, and those on Fort No. 3 under
+command of Captain E. B. Woodbury, Twenty-ninth
+Ohio volunteers. Both these officers and the men under
+their command are deserving of praise for the energy
+and perseverance manifested in the prosecution of the
+duty assigned them.</p>
+
+<p>“December 21st, the enemy having evacuated their
+position the night previous, their works were occupied at
+an early hour by the skirmishers of the division, and by
+sunrise the city of Savannah was entered and occupied,
+this brigade being in line in the advance into the city.
+Soon after reaching the city, the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
+and Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, under command
+of Colonel John Flynn, were, by order of the
+commanding-general of division, through Captain Veale,
+aide-de-camp, dispatched to occupy Fort Jackson and the
+smaller forts and batteries near it. The possession of
+the forts and other works was gained with but slight resistance.</p>
+
+<p>“Inventory of ordnance and ordnance stores captured
+by the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers and the Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania in Fort Jackson and other forts on
+the Savannah river: Forty-four thirty-two-pounders, two
+ten-inch Columbiads, twenty eight-inch Columbiads, two<span class="pagenum" id="Page_138">[138]</span>
+rifled thirty-two-pounders, twelve twenty-four-pounder
+howitzers, one eight-inch mortar, three three-inch rifled
+field-pieces, etc., etc. Of the ninety-one guns captured,
+fourteen only were found to have been spiked and shotted.
+The gun-carriages were broken and temporarily
+disabled, and all the implements were broken and
+destroyed.</p>
+
+<p>“To the regimental commanders I tender my thanks
+for the strict obedience to orders, and the enforcement
+of the regulation prescribed in regard to the conduct of
+the march, and especially are they due to Major M. T.
+Wright, Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was seriously
+wounded while supervising the working parties on the
+forts, for the promptitude exhibited by him in the execution
+of all orders, and his strict attention to the duties
+incumbent on him throughout the entire campaign.</p>

+
+<div class="blockquot">
+
+<p>“December 29th, a conference of the division and
+brigade commanders with the general commanding the
+corps, was held at 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> to-day, with the view to the
+adoption of a plan for storming the enemy’s works, as
+soon as the heavy guns should be in readiness to open
+fire. Fort No. 1 was finished this evening. The details
+from the First and Third brigades continued work on
+the other forts during the night, under a heavy artillery
+fire from the enemy. Several casualties occurred, among
+them Major Wright, a most valuable officer, commanding
+the Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteers, who was severely
+wounded by a shell. Sloan’s battery of three-inch rifled<span class="pagenum" id="Page_139">[139]</span>
+guns had already taken position in a work thrown up to
+the right of Fort 3, and in the open field.</p>
+
+<p>“December 20th. The usual artillery firing and sharp
+shooting to-day. By this evening we had constructed
+and in readiness for use in the contemplated assault,
+two hundred large straw fascines, to fill up ditches in
+front of the enemy’s works; also a large number of fascines
+made of bamboo-cane. The latter were to be
+used for bridging the canal by laying them across baulks,
+which were furnished from the pontoon train for that
+purpose. The work on Forts 2 and 3 was well advanced
+to-day, and would probably be completed to-night.
+Three siege-guns (thirty-pounder Parrotts) were brought
+down this evening and mounted in Fort No. 2. I ascertained
+this morning that the enemy had completed a
+pontoon bridge from Savannah across to the South Carolina
+shore, and notified the general commanding corps
+of the discovery. This bridge was about two and a half
+miles from my left. The usual artillery firing was kept
+up by the enemy during the day and night. During the
+night I heard the movement of troops and wagons across
+the pontoon bridge before mentioned, and sent a report
+of the fact to the general commanding corps. Leaving
+one of my staff to watch the sounds in that direction, I
+notified my officer of the day and brigade commanders
+to keep a vigilant watch upon the enemy, as they were
+probably evacuating. The details on Forts 2 and 3 continued
+working through the night, the enemy shelling
+them heavily.</p>
+
+<p>“December 21st. After 3 o’clock this morning the
+firing ceased, and my pickets advancing to the enemy’s
+line, found them hastily retreating. Having possession
+of their line of works with all their cannon in front of
+my own and the other division of the corps, I immediately<span class="pagenum" id="Page_140">[140]</span>
+sent a staff officer to notify the general commanding,
+and at the same time pushed forward rapidly in the
+direction of Savannah, hoping to overtake and capture a
+part of the enemy’s force. My skirmishers deployed
+and swept over all the ground between the evacuated
+works and the Ogeechee canal, from the river to the
+Augusta road, while my main body of troops marched
+rapidly by the flank through McAlpin’s plantation to the
+Augusta road, and on into the city. Just outside of the
+city limits near the junction of the Louisville and Augusta
+roads, I met the mayor of Savannah and a delegation
+from the board of alderman, bearing a flag of truce.
+From them I received in the name of my commanding
+general the surrender of the city. This was at 4:30 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span>,
+and I sent immediately another staff officer to announce
+the surrender to the general commanding the
+corps. He had considerable difficulty in passing the
+line of another division of this corps on the Augusta
+road, but finally convinced them that he belonged to the
+Twentieth corps and not to the enemy. In the meantime
+my entire division entered the city of Savannah at
+early dawn, and before the sun first gilded the morning
+clouds, our National colors, side by side with those of
+my own division, were unfurled from the dome of the
+exchange, and over the United States custom house.
+The brigade which led on entering the city, was at once
+ordered to patrol it, reduce it to order and quiet, and
+prevent any pillaging or lawlessness on the part either of
+soldiers or citizens. My orders on the subject were very
+strict, and within a few hours this city, in which I had
+found a lawless mob of low whites and negroes pillaging
+and setting fire to property, was reduced to order. Many
+millions of dollars worth of cotton, ordnance and commissary
+stores, etc., which would have been otherwise<span class="pagenum" id="Page_141">[141]</span>
+destroyed, were saved to the United States Government,
+and the citizens once more enjoyed security under the
+protection of that flag which again waved over them, exactly
+four years since the passage by the State of South
+Carolina of the Secession Act.</p>
+
+<p>“Two regiments from Pardee’s brigade, the Twenty-eighth
+Pennsylvania and Twenty-ninth Ohio veteran
+volunteers, were sent down to Fort Jackson, and early
+in the morning had possession of it and all the intermediate
+and surrounding works. The iron-plated ram,
+Savannah, which lay in the river below the city, threw
+shells at these two regiments as they flung the stars and
+stripes to the breeze from the walls of Fort Jackson.
+All the other gun-boats of the enemy had been fired by
+them and burned to the water’s edge.</p>
+
+<p>“On the arrival of the major-general commanding the
+left wing, I was, by his order, placed in command of the
+city. Until nearly 10 <span class="allsmcap">A.&nbsp;M.</span> continued firing was heard
+in the direction of Beaulieu, and supposing that a portion
+of the enemy might still be south of us, I kept one
+brigade under arms during the forenoon. Three rebel
+flags were captured by my command, which will be duly
+forwarded.</p>

+Buckley and Fitch. The receipt of the new flag is
+gracefully acknowledged by the letter of Mr. G. W. Holloway,
+appended thereto, which letter was accompanied
+by the old flag, which had been borne by this gallant regiment
+in so many bloody battles.</p>

+honor and pleasure of forwarding to the gallant old
+Twenty-ninth another national flag, the gift of its old

+third national flag given the regiment from the same
+source. It is certainly a strong proof that its friends
+still believe it to be one of the bravest of the brave of
+the many noble regiments Ohio has given to fight this
+great battle. If the regiment had no other proof than
+its old and tattered flags, that alone would show that it<span class="pagenum" id="Page_150">[150]</span>
+had been in the thickest of the fight, ever ready to
+breast the fury of the battle storm; but its history tells
+us that it has borne an honorable part in nearly a score
+of the hardest fought battles of the war. Citizen soldiers,
+take this flag and bear it aloft wherever duty calls,
+and your friends will take your past record as a guarantee
+that it will never be dishonored by the Twenty-ninth
+Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. Colonel, please remember
+us to the dear old Twenty-ninth, and accept for

+<p><span class="smcap">Gentlemen</span>:&mdash;In the name of the officers and men
+of the Twenty-ninth Ohio veteran volunteer infantry, I
+herewith acknowledge the receipt of the beautiful flag
+presented the regiment, and in return I present to you
+the old one, which it has been our proud honor to carry
+victoriously over many hard-fought battlefields. That
+dear “old flag” which has been our companion through
+years of fearful war and carnage, and which symbolizes
+our glorious nationality, tells its own story. We return
+it to you, but not so beautiful in form and color as when
+presented to us eighteen months ago. But whilst its
+external beauty has been defaced, yet the great life-giving
+principles of which it is the exponent, are all the
+more deeply enshrined in the hearts of its defenders, and
+Liberty receives through this standard another bright and
+shining star to her beautiful constellation. Take it, then,
+and place it among the archives of the nation, that it
+may be preserved as a sacred memorial, and handed<span class="pagenum" id="Page_151">[151]</span>
+down to latest posterity as a glorious legacy and standard
+that was borne, as by angel hands, in opposition to oppression
+and rebellion. Be assured that it is with a
+renewed national pride that we look upon this beautiful
+flag presented to the Twenty-ninth Ohio, by the patriotic
+and loyal citizens of Summit and Ashtabula counties.
+The past history of almost four years in war, speaks for
+our conduct as soldiers and patriots for the future. We
+promise never to desert this flag, nor will we permit
+traitors or rebels to wrest it from our hands. We will
+always be willing and ready to unfurl it in defense of the
+principles of our glorious, free Republic. Truly our
+country’s faith has learned a new interpretation of her
+standard. The white typifies the purity of purpose which
+belongs to her true ruler; the red points to the crimson
+tide in which life flows forth a willing offering; the blue
+reminds her of her home in heaven, to which all the good
+are gathered; the stars in her banner tell of light in
+darkness, and she shall learn to range them in a new and
+beautiful order, as the constellation of the cross. It is
+that flag which has solved most conclusively the long
+disputed problem of a free republican form of government.
+It was that flag which was so bravely and triumphantly
+carried through the ordeal of war by our Revolutionary
+sires, and encircled them with a halo of glory
+that shall be handed down untarnished to millions of
+unborn freemen. It was that flag which, under God, enabled
+our forefathers to gain our glorious independence,
+and here, in this beautiful land of lakes and rivers, rear
+a temple of liberty which stands first among the nations
+of the earth, the envy and admiration of all. It is the
+flag which we have learned to love and to defend, and
+which we cherish in our hearts as the guardian angel of
+our country.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_152">[152]</span></p>
+
+<p>May that same God who has given so many brave
+hearts to defend it, continue to preserve it, and may it
+give light and liberty to millions who are yet groaning
+under tyranny and oppression. But we would not pass
+by unnoticed the many noble brave men who offered
+themselves a willing sacrifice upon our country’s altar
+in defense of that national banner. The voices of our
+fallen comrades are borne to us in solemn silence by
+every breeze that fans our brow. The South is billowed
+with the graves where sleep the patriot martyrs of constitutional
+liberty, until the resurrection morn. We hold
+them dear to our hearts, for may it never be forgotten
+that their deeds of valor facilitated the consummation of
+the glorious results which have just been achieved.
+Though they be dead, they yet speak, and will continue
+to speak to the end of all time, and dear to each patriot
+heart will ever be the memory of those who died in
+defense of the Union.</p>

+<p>At Bladensburg we went into camp, and remained
+until June 10. Marched to Washington at 8 <span class="allsmcap">P.&nbsp;M.</span>, and
+embarked on the cars of the Baltimore &amp; Ohio railroad
+and steamed away homeward, bound to Parkersburg
+by way of Grafton, West Virginia, thence by boat
+to Louisville, Kentucky; moved five miles into the
+country, where we remained until the 13th day of July,
+when we were mustered out. Repairing to Camp
+Taylor, near Cleveland, Ohio, we were paid off and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_153">[153]</span>
+formally discharged from the service on the 22d and
+23d days of July, 1865.</p>
+
+<p>We have now followed the regiment through nearly
+four years of the most arduous service which ever fell to
+the lot of any organization of this character, marching
+and fighting through most of the States in rebellion, its
+pathway marked by the graves of our comrades who fell.
+In the interim, hundreds of the brave 1540 who were
+upon its rolls, pass under the charge of the worse than
+fiends of hell, who presided at Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville,
+and other courts of death, by courtesy called
+rebel prisons, where, after being robbed of all they possessed,
+and even stripped of necessary clothing, they
+were subjected to a systematic course of starvation (and
+that, too, under the immediate supervision of that foul
+blot upon humanity, Jeff Davis) until their brave spirits
+went out to the God who gave them. In the army of
+the East, with the army of the West, with Sherman in
+the glorious march to the sea, and the brilliant campaign
+of the Carolinas&mdash;where there was danger and death&mdash;shone
+the “white star” of the Twenty-ninth. The
+skirmish line and the advance became so nearly the
+normal condition of the regiment that assignment to
+positions less dangerous elicited exclamations of surprise
+from the “boys.”</p>
+
+<p>At length the last ditch, so frequently referred to by
+the braggart rebels, was reached&mdash;chivalrous Jeff Davis
+in hoc and crinoline begged that mercy be shown to
+“woman and children.” The bubble secessia burst, and
+the command, now reduced to a mere handful, turn sadly
+northward, its columns “gaping from the havoc of shot
+and shell, and the disease of the camp, and prison pen,
+its colors ragged and torn, but proud and defiant as ever&mdash;one

+<h2 class="nobreak" id="GENERAL_REVIEW">GENERAL REVIEW.</h2>
+</div>
+
+<p>The following review of the battles, sieges, marches,
+and campaigns in which the Twenty-ninth regiment was
+engaged, is from the pen of Colonel Jonas Schoonover.
+It gives in brief the important work of the regiment
+during its nearly four years’ service, and should the
+“gentle reader” find the descriptive portion of the history
+too voluminous, she has but to turn to this review
+to find consolation.</p>
+
+<p>Beginning with the service in the winter of 1861–2,
+along the waters of the Potomac and its tributaries, and
+in the mountain regions of Hampshire county, the
+Romney expedition in West Virginia, the advance to
+Winchester via Little mountain and Martinsburg, thence
+into the Shenandoah valley. The Strasburg march,
+which ended in the battle of Winchester, where the
+Federal army, under General Shields, and the rebels,
+commanded by General T. J. Jackson, at Kernstown,
+engaged in a sanguinary battle on March 23d, 1862, in
+which the Union army gained a victory. The Twenty-ninth
+Ohio done its full share, suffering slight loss in
+killed and wounded. The march up the valley to Madisonburg;
+the long march to Fredericksburg, leaving the
+Shenandoah valley at New Market on the 12th day of
+May, 1862, and reaching Fredericksburg May 22, 1862,
+a day or two later returning to Luray via Warrenton and
+Front Royal, up the Luray valley to Port Republic,
+where, on the 9th day of June, it engaged in battle with
+heavy loss in killed and wounded. One hundred and
+ten were made prisoners. The Twenty-ninth was engaged
+at short range in the open field against three times<span class="pagenum" id="Page_156">[156]</span>
+its number over four hours. During the time the
+struggle was desperate on both sides. The battle of
+Cedar mountain, seven miles from Culpepper Courthouse,
+on August 9th, the Union army under Banks, the
+rebels under Longstreet, the Twenty-ninth was engaged
+in the open field without cover, and sustained considerable
+loss. Then followed the retrograde move to Culpepper;
+the campaign of General Pope, including the
+second battle of Bull Run; and the march to Frederick
+City; the winter and spring campaign of 1862 and 1863,
+under Major-general Joseph Hooker, at Dumfries, was
+memorable for its intense suffering; then came the march
+to Chancellorsville, and the battle there, which began
+May 1st, and ended on the 3d, in which the Twenty-ninth
+suffered heavy loss and was the last to leave the
+field. May 5th we crossed the Rappahannock on our
+way to Gettysburg via Aqua creek, Dumfries, Fairfax
+Court House, Leesburg, Edward’s Ferry, Harper’s Ferry,
+Frederick, and Littletown, where we fought one of the
+most determined battles of the war, commencing on the
+1st and ending on the 4th day of July, 1863.</p>
+
+<p>We returned to Virginia; moved to New York to quell
+riots; returned again; advanced to the Rapidan; reported
+to the Department of the Cumberland, via the Baltimore
+&amp; Ohio railroad, crossing the Ohio river at Bellaire.
+On September 30th, we passed through Columbus,
+Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky,
+and halted at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. In October
+we passed down to Stevenson and Bridgeport, Alabama,
+and up the Tennessee river to Wauhatchie valley.</p>
+
+<p>On November 24th and 25th, we were engaged in the
+battle of Lookout mountain; Missionary Ridge on
+November 24th and 25th, and Taylor’s Ridge and Ringgold,
+Georgia, on November 26th and 27th, 1863.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_157">[157]</span></p>
+
+<p>In December of the same year we re-enlisted, and
+during the winter we prepared for a vigorous and active
+campaign in the early spring of 1864. On May 3d, we
+left Bridgeport, Alabama, on the Georgia campaign,
+passing around Lookout Mountain, Rossville, and Crawfish
+springs. On May 8th, the Twenty-ninth regiment
+took an active part in the battle of Dug Gap, Georgia,
+where it distinguished itself for bravery unparalleled
+in modern history; every fourth man was killed
+or wounded. We moved on to Resaca, and in the
+fight of the 14th our loss was light. We moved
+on to Calhoun, Adairsville, Kingston, and Cassville on
+May 21st. In the battle of Pumpkin Vine Creek (or
+Dallas) from May 25th to the 28th, we met with some
+loss. In the battle of Pine Knob on June 15th, the
+Twenty-ninth suffered severe loss. Many of its brave
+heroes, whose valor will ever be held in memory by every
+survivor of the Twenty-ninth regiment, were killed.
+The battles of Lost and Kenesaw Mountain were on
+June 20th and 27th, and we advanced to the Chattahoochie
+river, via Marietta, Georgia, and then to the battle
+of Peach Tree Creek.</p>
+
+<p>The Georgia campaign, from May 8th until the evacuation
+of Atlanta on September 2, 1864, a period of four
+months, was one continuous battle. The marching
+through Georgia was a glorious achievement, and will
+ever be recorded as one of the most brilliant feats in this
+or any other war. In Sherman’s grand march to the
+sea and the siege and capture of Savannah, Georgia, the
+Twenty-ninth did its full share. It was engaged
+from December 10th to the 21st, when it entered the
+city of Savannah. On January 27, 1865, we moved on
+the campaign through the Carolinas, and were engaged
+in the following battles, and skirmishes of this campaign;<span class="pagenum" id="Page_158">[158]</span>
+Averysboro, North Carolina, on March 16th; Bentonville,
+North Carolina, on March 19, 1865, and marching to
+Goldsboro on March 24th. After Johnston’s army at
+Raleigh, North Carolina, and the final march through
+Virginia to Washington in May, 1865, we took part in
+the grand review, thence to Louisville, Kentucky, on to
+Camp Taylor at Cleveland, Ohio, and home. The regiment
+was in the service nearly four years, and it is but
+justice to state that during its entire term it was <em>never
+driven from its position by direct assault</em>.</p>

+
+<p>
+This ebook was transcribed by a native of the state of Ohio.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This book transcription is dedicated to
+Thadeus “Ted” Slade, also a native Ohioan and the biggest
+Civil War history buff I know.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Some punctuation has been standardized.
+Some alternate spellings may have been retained.
+Some obvious misspellings and typographical
+errors/omissions have been corrected.
+Any other changes are noted below.
+</p>
+
+<p>Some inconsistencies in human or place names were corrected by
+correlating with names elsewhere in the text.</p>
+
+<p>The cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed
+in the public domain.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="#ERRATA">errata</a> from the original book
+was applied to this text.</p>
+
+<p>p. <a href="#Page_60">60</a>: Inserted a probable missing
+beginning of paragraph. (“[It] is perhaps unnecessary”)</p>
+
+<p>p. <a href="#Page_64">64</a>: Corrected year in chapter
+description from 1862 to 1863. The Battle of Chancellorsville
+took place in 1863, and the end of the prior chapter also
+indicates we are in mid-1863 at this point in the journal.</p>
+
+<p>p. <a href="#Page_120">120</a>: Corrected date “August 2st”
+to August 1st (“August 1st to 3d, hot firing all the time.”).
+The phrasing “to” vs. “and” makes a date range of larger than two
+days likely, and it’s more reasonable to believe the printer
+misplaced 2 for 1, than misplaced “st” for “nd”.</p>
+
+<p>p. <a href="#Page_143">143</a>: Corrected time from 6:30 to 9:30
+(“at 9:30 fell in and marched six miles as rear guard to the
+Twentieth army corps”). It’s not logical that they would move
+from 8:00am back to 6:30am in the journal. The printer presumably
+set 6 in place of 9, or inverted the 9.</p>
+
+<p>p. <a href="#Page_232">232</a>: Corrected the discharge date for
+John H. Finneman (confirmed using records found on civilwarindex.com
+on January 23, 2021). As printed, the date was June 18, 1865.</p>
+
+<p>p. <a href="#Page_241">241</a>: Corrected Lysander T. King’s
+company from “T” to “F” per the company F listing on p. <a href="#Page_206">206</a>.</p>

+free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg&#8482;
+works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
+Project Gutenberg&#8482; name associated with the work. You can easily

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg&#8482;
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+Project Gutenberg&#8482; is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
+computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
+exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
+from people in all walks of life.
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg&#8482;&#8217;s
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg&#8482; collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg&#8482; and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
+Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+Project Gutenberg&#8482; depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
+public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
+visit <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg&#8482; concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
+facility: <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org">www.gutenberg.org</a>.
