a. allgemeines:

Nach bei Kriegsbeginn geltendem Ohio-Recht konnte nur ein General aus der Ohio-Miliz kommandierender General der Ohio Miliz werden. Die Ernennung von McClellan durch Governor *Dennison zum Befehlshaber der Ohio Miliz machte daher eine Gesetzesän­derung erforderlich, weil McClellan nicht zur Ohio-Miliz gehörte (vgl. McClellan: McClellan's Own Story, a.a.O., S. 41).

Regiment lost during service 2 Officers and 62 Enlisted men killed and mortally wounded and 3 Officers and 129 Enlisted men by di­sease. Total 196.

 

The regiment received its first baptismal of fire at New Madrid, Missouri, March 3d, 1862. It is true the shells thrown from rebel gunboats and works were not of six pounder gun but of much heavier calibre, and made a hideous screeching noise, the like of which the boys had ne'er heard; their nerves were strung to the utmost tension as they saw that war was about to become a fixed fact. An in­cident that occurred at the time is worth relating (vgl. The 39th OVI an Major Noyes at New Madrid (Exzerpt from "Roster. Survi­ving Members of the 39th Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry", Cincinnati Ohio 1893).

 

The regiment was deployed in column by division and the regimental flag and banner were unfurled, giving the rebels a target for ai­ming their guns and getting the correct range. They were not slow in taking advantage of same and throw shells and shrapnels, thick and fast. General Pope noticing the colors were unfurled, dispatched a staff officer to furl same - this order was given to Major Noyes who was in command of the regiment, who, straightening himself up in his saddle, and in his sonorious and stentorian voice said: "Furl those colors - furl those colors! Never - never!" At this moment a fresh shower of shells came, and they closer than the others - bursting immediately in front and rear of the regiment - suffice it to say, the Major at once, without any further ceremony, gave the order to furl "Old Glory." (vgl. The 39th OVI an Major Noyes at New Madrid (Exzerpt from "Roster. Surviving Members of the 39th Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry", Cincinnati Ohio 1893).

44th Regiment Ohio Infantry:

s. Captain Israel *Stough (Co. F)

 

History:

Organized in October, 1861, under Colonel Samuel A. Gilbert, it moved into West Virginia and operated until September, 1862 - ha­ving frequent engagements with the enemy - when it moved to Kentucky. In December the men were mounted as cavalry and opera­ted against John Morgan. It joined Burnside's advance into East Tennessee, and in January, 1864, the Regiment re-enlisted as veterans providing it should be mounted as cavalry. When it again assembled, after a furlough home' it was designated as the 8th. Ohio Caval­ry; in the sketch of which organization, its further history will be found.

Im Frühjahr 1862 und im Battle of Shiloh gehörte die 53rd Ohio Infantry zur 3rd Brigade Col Jesse Hildebrand 5th Division BrigGen William T. Sherman in Grant's Army of the Tennessee (vgl. Daniel: Shiloh, a.a.O., S. 320, 131; Grant, U. S.: The Opposing Forces at Shiloh; in: B&L, vol. I, a.a.O., S. 538); das Camp des Regiments befand sich am 6.4.1862 bei Rhea’s Field südöstlich von Shiloh Church (vgl. Daniel: Shiloh, a.a.O., S. 156 mit Karte S. 165).

 

Das Regiment stieß am 4.6.1862, zwei Tage vor der Schlacht von Shiloh auf starke CS-Kräfte und meldete dies dem Divisions­kommandeur Sherman; Sherman ließ daraufhin antworten: "There is no enemy closer than Corinth" (vgl. Daniel: Sliloh, a.a.O., S. 137); am Samstag 5.4.1862 nachts, am Vorabend der Schlacht von Shiloh, entdeckte das Regiment CS-Scouts, woraufhin Col Appler eine nicht vom Divisionskommando nicht genehmigte Aufklärung der 53rd Ohio Infantry südlich Rhea's Field anordnete (vgl. Da­niel, a.a.O., S. 156). Bei Angriffsbeginn am 6.4.1862 wurde das Regiment von der 6th Mississippi Infantry angegriffen, die 70,5% Verlu­ste erlitt. Col Appler verlor dennoch die Nerven, befahl den Rückzug und flüchtete (vgl. Daniel: Shiloh, a.a.O., S. 159).

Rollins), Befehlshaber der Vorposten des 55th Ohio Infantry Regiment sandte zwischen 11 und 4 Uhr drei Boten zum Divisionsstab der Div. Devens, die Jackson Ankunft meldeten. US-Commander XI. Corps O. O Howard hielt ein Durch­queren der Wildnis auf der Westseite von Chancellorsville für ausgeschlossen.

Im Frühjahr 1862 und im Battle of Shiloh gehörte das Regiment zur 3rd Brigade Col Jesse Hildebrand 5th Division BrigGen William T. Sherman in Grant’s Army of the Tennessee. Das Regiment war unter der Führung von LtCol Americus V. Rice (der Regiments­kommandeur Col Mungen war erkrankt) am 6.4.1862 morgens bei Beginn der Schlacht in der Divisionsfront rechts eingesetzt (vgl. Daniel: Shiloh, a.a.O., S. 157 mit Karte S. 165)

 

Gegen 7:30 wehrte die 57th Ohio ca 30 Minuten lang zusammen mit der 53rd Ohio Infantry den Angriff von Cleburne’s Brigade

auf der Nordseite der Shiloh Branch des Owl Creek am nördlichen Rea Field ab; als die 53rd Ohio schließlich sich auf Befehl von Col Appler (dem die Nerven durchgingen) den Rückzug antrat zog sich die 57th Ohio nach schweren Verlusten nach Norden zurück und zog sich auf die anschließende Höhe bei Waterhouse’s Battery zurück (vgl. Daniel: Shiloh, a.a.O., S. 159-160 mit Karte S. 165). Bei der Fortsetzung des CS-Angriffs durch das I. Army Corps MajGen Leonidas Polk mit der 1st Division BrigGen Charles Clark wurde die 57th Ohio Infantry gegen 8:30 von der 12th und 13th Tennessee Infantry angegriffen und 500 yards zurückgedrängt (vgl. Daniel: Shiloh, a.a.O., S. 168). Bei den weiteren massierten CS-Angriffen gegen 9:30 durch die nach vorn geworfene 2nd Division MajGen Benjamin F. Cheatham 1st Brigade BrigGen Bushrod R. Johnson mit Blythe's Mississippi Regiment und der 154th Tennes­see Infantry brach die 57th Ohio Infantry schließlich zusammen (vgl. Daniel: Shiloh, a.a.O., S. 169).

59th Regiment Ohio Infantry:

s. Corporal Michael *Brunner (Co. C); Pvt. James D. *Milner (Co. H)

 

Overview:

Organized October 1, 1861, under Colonel J.P. Fyffe, it went into the field soon after under General Nelson in Eastern Kentucky. In December it joined Buell's army, and in the spring of 1862 moved to the relief of Grant at Shiloh, fighting through the whole of the second day. It participated in the siege of Corinth, and after the evacuation marched into Northern Alabama. In August it began its race with Bragg through Tennessee and Kentucky, reaching Louisville September 25th, and again pursued Bragg southward, partici­pating in the battle of Stone River. It opened the fight at Chickamauga and contested every inch of ground against overwhelming numbers. In November the Regiment assaulted Mission Ridge, and afterwards marched for Knoxville. It joined Sherman's Atlanta campaign in the spring of 1864, taking active part in all the battles and skirmishes to the end. Its three years term having expired in September, it was ordered to Nashville, where the men were mustered out October 31, 1864.
