Im Frühjahr 1862 und im Battle of Shiloh gehörte das Regiment unter Col Rodney *Mason zur 2nd Brigade Col David Stuart 5th Di­vision BrigGen William T. Sherman in Grant’s Army of the Tennessee.

 

Im Battle of Shiloh flüchtete die 71st Ohio Infantry direkt nach Feuereröffnung. Mason sprach nach der Schlacht mit Tränen in den Augen bei Grant vor, und bat um eine neue Chance. Grant kam der Bitte nach und beauftragte Mason's 71st Ohio Infantry mit der Si­cherung von Fort Donelson und der Stadt *Clarksville (vgl. Grant: Memoirs, a.a.O., S. 215). Am 22.8.1862 kam es zu einem CS-Guerilla Überfall auf den US Stützpunkt Clarksville, wo 6 Companies der 71st Ohio Infantry unter Col Rodney Mason stationiert wa­ren. Der ängstliche Mason ergab sich und seine Truppen ohne Gegenwehr (vgl. Catton, a.a.O., S. 305, 520 Anm. 2; vgl. Grant: Me­moirs, a.a.O., S. 215; OR XVI, Part 1, S. 862-63, 865, 868-69 ). Mason wies seine Untergebenen in Fort Donelson ebenfalls zur Übergabe an, was diese jedoch verweigerten (vgl. Grant: Memoirs, a.a.O., S. 215).

History:

Under Colonel Charles R. Woods recruiting began for this Regiment as early as September, 1861, and the organization was comple­ted February 9, 1862, with 962 officers and men. Seven companies went out from Licking county, one from Columbiana and two from Stark. The Regiment entered the field in February, 1862, and was in the battle of Fort Donelson six days after leaving Ne­wark. It participated, the whole of the second day, in the battle of Shiloh supporting batteries and pursuing the enemy. It moved upon Co­rinth with Halleck's army, and after the evacuation marched to Memphis. In July it moved to Helena, Arkansas, joining General Cur­tis' army, and in August formed part of an expedition under Colonel C.R. Woods to the vicinity of Vicksburg. where it suprised a Re­bel Regiment, capturing many prisoners; a Rebel transport with 7,000 stand of arms also fell into the hands of this expedition. In Oc­tober the 76th went to Missouri, and in December joined Sherman's first assault upon Vicksburg. On January 11, 1863, it suc­cessfully charged the Rebel works at Arkansas Post, losing seventy men. It operated with Grant about Vicksburg and joined in the grand move­ment to the rear of Vicksburg, fighting at Jackson and through the whole siege. In October it moved to Memphis and across the coun­try in time to assault Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge and Ringgold. At the latter place it lost heavily. It followed Sherman's victo­rious army through to Atlanta, fighting all the way. On July 22d, it charged the Rebels and recaptured a battery. T he Regiment mar­ched to the sea, through the Carolinas, on to Richmond and marched in the review at Washington. It then moved to Louisville and was discharged July 24, 1865. The 76th participated in 47 battles and moved 9,625 miles. On the field and in the hos­pitals 351 died. In battle 241 were wounded. It had over 1500 men in its organization and mustered out only 400 men at the end of the war.

Overview:

Organized August 29, 1862, under Colonel Joseph W. Vance, it left for the field September 1st and entered Kentucky to resist the ad­vance of Kirby Smith. In November the Regiment moved by river to Memphis, and in December joined Sherman's expedition against Vicksburg, taking part in the battle of Chickasaw Bayou. On the 11th day of January, 1863, it took an active part in the battle of Ar­kansas Post, with a loss of 36 men, and returned to Young's Point, La., the same month. Here it worked with Grant's army in the ope­rations about Vicksburg, marching to the rear of that stronghold, and taking part in the siege. After the surrender it marched to Jack­son, then back to Vicksburg, where it embarked for Louisiana. The Regiment participated in the battle of Grand Coteau, then moved to Texas, and in March, 1864, entered the Red River campaign, fighting at Sabine Cross Road with considerable loss. Among the kil­led was the gallant Colonel Vance. In July it went to Alabama and took part in the siege operations which resulted in the fall of Forts Gains and Morgan, and in April, 1864, participated in the capture of Mobile, where it was mustered out July 7, 1865. It had moved over 9,000 miles in its term of service.

History:

Organized August 22, 1862, under Colonel George P. Webster, it left for the field soon after and operated in Kentucky against Kirby Smith. On the 8th of October it took part in the battle of Perryville, sustaining the fearful loss of 230 in killed and wounded, inclu­ding Colonel Webster, killed early in the action. In February the Regiment moved to Nashville and operated under General Rose­crans. In September it fought at Chickamauga, losing 50 men out of 200 in action. In November it was with Sherman at Mission Ridge and soon after marched to the relief of Knoxville. The Regiment participated in the Atlanta campaign and was in action at Buz­zard's Roost, Resaca, Rome, Dallas, Kenesaw, Peach Tree Creek and Jonesboro. After the fall of Atlanta it pursued Hood northward, returned and marched to the sea, then through the Carolinas, taking part in the Grand Review at Washington and was mustered out June 3d, 1865.

Documents/Literature:

- Frey, Jerry: Grandpa's Gone: The Adventures of Daniel Buchwalter in the Western Army 1862-1865 (120th Ohio Volunteers: "The Bloody 120th") (Burd Street Press) 227 pages, Bibliography, Index, Photos, Maps. The 120th fought at Vicksburg, Red River, Arkan­sas Post and Port Gibson until it was dissolved in 1864 after an ambush decimated the unit. There were no original histories done by this unit after the war (probably because so many died). This details Buchwalter's time in this unit and it is unique in that the focus is on everyday life rather than the bloody details of battles

However, it soon be­came apparent that troops were needed to perform routine guard and picket duty for the various campaigns. So, the regiment was na­tionalized. On May 12, 1864 a group of 845 men from Knox County were mustered into the 142nd Regiment of the National Guard.

 

The One Hundred and Forty Second Regiment's activities according to Compendium of the War of the Rebellion, Vol. 2, Dayton, Ohio, By Frederick H. Dyer is very sketchy. Ohio in the War: Her statesmen, H Generals and Soldiers, Vol 2. Cincinnati, Ohio, by Whitelaw Reid is more detailed. These two sources plus the Analysis of U.S. War Department, War of the Rebellion, A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, Washington, 1880-1901 all give a better picture of what happened for 100 days of active duty of the 142nd. The Regiment was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, and mustered in May or 13, 1864, depen­ding on the source. [ editor's note: The regiment was composed of the 22 Battalion, OH National Guard, from Knox County; 68 Bat­talion, OH National Guard, from Williams County; and a part c the 69 Battalion OH National Guard, from Coshocton County.]

 

Most of the following was taken from Ohio in the War.

" On the 14th ( the 142nd) was marched through the streets of Columbus to the State Arsenal, where it was supplied with Springfield muskets. Thence it took cars (railroad) to Martinsburg, Virginia, (now West Virginia) where it remained drilling until the 19th of May and then left for Washington City; but meeting with detention at Harper's Ferry, on account of the bridge being destroyed at that point, it did not reach the capital until the 21st."

 

According to the Official Record on May 22, correspondence from Brigadier General G.A. DeRussy to Lt. Col. J.H. Taylor, Chief of Staff and Assistant Adjutant-General " Colonel: Since the departure of Tannatt's and Abbot's brigades and the Ninth New York Artil­lery, I have assigned the troops reporting to me, and exchanged some of the Second Pennsylvania and Tenth New York Artillery, as follows: From Fort Smith t' Fort Albanly and interior works all included, Col. John C. Lee 164th Ohio, commanding 9 officers and 486 (men); 2nd Pennsylvania Artillery, 145th and 146th Ohio about 1700 (men). From Richmond to Rogers an all included, Colonel Piper, 10th New York Artillery, distributed 16th Indiana [Battery] and 3rd Massachusetts; in Scott and Berry, 166th, 136th, and 142nd Ohio, Colonel Gibson's command consists of two battalions of his regiment, one company 13th New York Cavalry.

 

In a footnote to this May 22, 1864, order from Headquarters, Arlington, VA. the 2nd Brigade was assigned the following forts "...at Battery Rodgers, and Forts Barnard, Berry, Ellsworth, Farnsworth, Garesche, Lyon, O'Rorke, Reynolds, Richardson, Scott, Ward, Weed, Willard, Williams, and Worth." Thus, col. William C. Cooper and his 142nd Regiment find themselves at fort Lyon as per the OFFICIAL RECORD and attached to the 2nd Brigade under Col. W. Smith Irwin. In a later listing the second Brigade was changed to the 3rd . General De Russy was commanding all volunteers and he had a tremendous task of assigning the various volunteer groups to units where needed. De Rus­sy's division was made up of several units. The 142nd was marched to Fort Lyon nine miles from Washington. They did not get to the Fort until late at night. There w no quarters so the men made their bed rolls and tried sleeping on the ground; According to Reid's OHIO IN THE WAR" the regiment remained at Fort Lyon, busily engaged in strengthening the fortifications and perfecting it's drill, until the 5th of June when orders were received to report to General Abercrombie at White House Landing on the Pamunkey River. These orders must have percipitated a letter written by Henry L. Curtis, of Mt. Vernon, to his parents and which ultimately ended up in the COLUMBUS JOURNAL a Republican Paper, and then copied in the DEMOCRATIC BANNER.
