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_. - - DAVID W.

COON, } - - CLEVELAND, OHIO, February 1, 1883. - - - - -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. - - R.

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.” - - -ORIGINAL REGIMENTAL ROSTER. - -Following is the roster of the regiment as given in the issue of the -Ashtabula Sentinel, dated December 25, 1861, inserted by request of the -committee on revision: - - -FIELD OFFICERS. - - Colonel Lewis P.

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. - - “By command of - MAJOR-GENERAL GEORGE H. THOMAS. - - “W. D. WHIPPLE, - Assistant Adjutant-general.” - - 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.

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., 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 SCHOONOVER’S REPORT. - - HEADQUARTERS TWENTY-NINTH OHIO } - VETERAN VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. } - SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, DEC. 28, 1864. } - - A.

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.

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.

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_. - - - - -OFFICIAL ROSTER. - - -The writer of the volume visited the office of the adjutant-general -at Columbus, Ohio, and prepared a verbatim copy of the rolls of -the Twenty-ninth regiment as transcribed in that office, which was -published and issued with the proof copies.

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. - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK JOURNAL HISTORY OF THE -TWENTY-NINTH OHIO VETERAN VOLUNTEERS, 1861-1865 *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
