FOR several years prior to this
great event in our national history, Henry county had no
military organization of any kind. To be sure, there
had been, many years before this time, a militia company in
the county, and organization complete and well equipped for
the time, but its deeds of valor were narrowed down to
"general training" on muster day and the customary wrestling
match, and eating of ginger-bread and doughnuts. But
this old militia company had been broken up many years
before that fateful day, early in April, 1861, when the
words were written on our political horizon, "civil war,"
and the news spread instantly throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
At this time History county had not to exceed ten
thousand population, but nobly did she respond to the
president's call for seventy-five thousand volunteers to
"put down the rebellion." In less than one week from
that call, Company F, of the Fourteenth regiment, was
recruited and ready for duty with over one hundred men, and
in just ten days the regiment left Toledo for Camp Taylor,
near Cleveland. From that time to the close of the
war, in 1865, Henry county was never behind her quota.
In addition to the several separate organizations that left
the county for the service, there were many men that went to
other counties to enlist, for which the county did not
receive credit. It is, therefore, safe to assume that
in the service, Henry county contributed more than one per
cent. of her entire population. From the time of the
fall of Fort Sumter, until the final surrender in 1865,
there went from Henry county between eleven and twelve
hundred volunteers.
Money was not lacking and contributions to the several
relief funds were generous and prompt. Volunteers were
ready, therefore but little money was needed to provide
substitutes, and the volunteer had the fullest assurance
that in his absence his family would be provided for.
During the war Henry county, through her soldiers, made
an excellent record, a record that has borne favorable
comparison with the best and richest counties of the State.
But turn to that record and let the deeds of her soldiers
prove the statement.THE
FOURTEENTH REGIMENT - THREE MONTHS SERVICE.
The records of the
services of men and regiments of the three months service
are decidedly incomplete. The Fourteenth was recruited
very soon after President Lincoln's first call for troops,
from the counties of Lucas, Fulton, Williams, Paulding, Wood
and Henry. The latter contributed Company F to the
formation of the regiment. The commission for the
command of the company was issued to Andrew Crawford,
who was afterward killed by accident at Phillipi, West
Virginia. John D. Belknap was elected first
lieutenant, and he, too, was accidentally killed at Cheat
Mountain. Samuel Pomeroy was commissioned
second lieutenant and subsequently became a veteran captain.
The organization of the
regiment was made complete at Toledo, during the latter part
of April, 1861, by the election of field officers.
They were as follows: colonel, James B. Steedman;
lieutenant colonel, George P. Este; major, Paul
Edwards; surgeon, J. A. Coons; assistant surgeon,
W. C. Daniels.
With nearly one thousand men in line, the
Fourteenth left Toledo and went to Cleveland, arriving there
on the 25th of April. Here they went into camp for
drill and instruction in the duties of active field service.
On the 22d of May the regiment left Camp Taylor and
proceeded to Columbus, where they were fully equipped, and
thence went forward to service in Virginia. On the
27th the regiment reached Parkersburg, Va., and for the
first time unfurled and floated its flag on rebel soil.
The enemy retreated at once from the place and commenced
burning the bridges on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. A company was immediately double-quicked
along the line of the road and the fires were extinguished,
and several of the rebels were captured in the act of firing
the bridges and some other property. For several days
the regiment was engaged in repairing the bridges and
preventing further destruction. On the 2d of June, a
dark and dismal night, the command marched to Phillipi, and
on the morning of the 3d drove out the rebel cavalry
stationed there, taking a few prisoners and capturing the
stores with five wagon loads of arms and ammunition.
In this little affair the Fourteenth had four men
wounded. On the 7th of June the rebels appeared in
force on Laurel Hill; several cavalry charges were made by
the enemy, and repulsed by the Union troops. On the
12th General Garnet began his retreat; the
Union forces, with the Fourteenth in the lead, pressed on
after the retreating forces; the rebel columns were so
closely pressed that the road was littered with trunks,
boxes, tents, stalled baggage-wagons and tired out
Confederates. At Carrick's Ford, the rebels made a
stand in order to save their trains, and taking a strong
position awaited the approach of the Union force. The
advanced guard of the Fourteenth were soon under fire from
the rebel guns, and they were greeted with a shower of rebel
bullets. The Fourteenth
immediately closed on its advance, and answered the rebels'
first volley before they fired the second. In twenty
minutes, and just as the main column came up, the enemy gave
way, leaving everything behind, and "ran for dear life."
The fruits of this victory were two hundred and fifty
prisoners, three stand of colors, one battery, and thirty
well laden baggage-wagons. The next morning the
regiment returned to Phillipi with the prisoners and
captured trains, but owing to the heavy rains, the rivers
and creeks were swollen, and there being no bridges, they
did not reach Phillipi until the 15th of July. On the
22d the Fourteenth started on its homeward trip, and arrived
at Toledo, on the 25th of July, where after a few days it
was mustered out and paid off.
Whitelaw Reid, in his "Ohio in the War," says:
"After partaking of a sumptuous feast, prepared by the
citizens at the Oliver House, the regiment dispersed, and
after a few days' rest at home, the men re-assembled, and
again volunteered in a body, for three years, or during the
war." In this statement, the worthy compiler in most
certainly in error. But few, comparatively, of the men
from this county re-entered the Fourteenth, for the three
years service, although nearly all did re-enlist, but in
different regiments then forming.
Of the contingent from Henry county, some re-enlisted
in the three years service in the Fourteenth (the regiment
still retaining that number in the line), but a fair
proportion of those who made up Company D, were recruits
gathered and enlisted by Samuel Pomeroy and
William H. Brownell. But this company more
properly forms the subject of a separate sketch and follows
this.
THE FOURTEENTH REGIMENT - THREE YEARS
SERVICE.
Toward the original strength of this regiment, the county of
Henry contributed one company, which in the completion of
regimental organization was given the name of "D."
This company as well as the regiment, was composed, in part,
of men who had but recently returned from the three months
service, but it is questionable whether or not a majority of
the regiment were formerly of the Fourteenth, in the short
term. However this may be, this regiment held the same
number in the line of Ohio soldiery as when first organized.
The roster of Ohio soldiers, now being published by
authority of the State Legislature, says: "This regiment was
organized at Toledo, from August 14, to September 5, 1861,
to serve three years. On the expiration of its term of
service, the original members (except veterans) were
mustered out, and the organization, composed of veterans and
recruits, retained in service until July 11, 1865,, when it
was mustered out in accordance with orders from the War
Department."
Company D was raised by Samuel Pomeroy and
William H. Brownell both of whom were veterans of the
three months service. The former was commissioned
captain, and the latter first lieutenant, upon the complete
organization of the company. On the 23d day of August,
1861, the regiment left Toledo, and proceeded to Cincinnati,
and after receiving its arms and equipments on the 25th,
crossed the Ohio River to Covington, Ky., and took cars for
Lexington and Frankfort. On this trip the train was
assaulted by some of the Kentucky chivalry, with a volley of
stones and other missiles, by which the windows of the
officers' car were broken, and some slight injuries
inflicted. The train was stopped and two of the
assaulting party captured and taken to Frankfort.
While marching up Main street, a citizen rushed through the
ranks and drew a butcher's knife across the throat of one of
the prisoners, severely wounding him.
From Frankfort the regiment moved to Nicholsville, and
from there about the first of October to Camp Dick Robinson.
About this time news was received that a small garrison
situate on Wild Cat Mountain, about sixty miles from Capt
Dick Robinson, was being surrounded by the rebels. The
Fourteenth, with the Thirty-eighth Ohio and Barnett's
Battery, immediately marched to their relief, and on the
morning of the 21st of October, after a double-quick of
three miles through mud and slush up the Wild Cat Hills,
they found five companies of the Thirty-third Indiana
Regiment nearly surrounded by rebel troops under General
Zollicoffer. Barnett's Battery was
immediately placed in position and commenced shelling the
enemy, while two companies of the Fourteenth crawled through
the brush, and with shovels and picks soon fortified the
knob on the crest of the hill. The other troops now
coming up, and the enemy meeting with so warm a reception,
after twice charging the little fortified position abandoned
the attack and retreated towards Loudon, leaving about
thirty killed and wounded on the field. The Fourteenth
and Thirty-eighth pursued the fleeing enemy as far as
Loudon. Zollicoffer having already retreated
from that place, the Union forces went into camp and threw
up fortifications a short distance north of the town.
The regiment remained here about two weeks, when they were
ordered to march back toward Lancaster by the way of Crab
Orchard and Mount Vernon. The march was made in the
night, in a terrible storm of rain. Rock Castle River
had to be forded, and the mud and slush being deep, on
arriving at Crab Orchard next morning the men were
completely exhausted, and unable to march.
After resting one day, the regiment marched to Lebanon
and went into winter quarters. It remained at LEbanon
until the latter part of December, when it was ordered to
join its brigade at Somerset, where it arrived January 1,
1862. It remained in camp at Somerset until the 19th
of January, when the brigade to which the Fourteenth
belonged was ordered out and marched rapidly towards Mill
Springs, where Zollicoffer had been strongly
intrenched during the winter. General Crittenden
having recently assumed command of the rebel forces at that
place, on that morning marched out of his fortifications to
give battle before General Thomas could concentrate
the Union forces, hoping to whip them in detail. The
rebels met the Union forces at Logan's Cross-roads, about
six miles north of Mill Springs, and a lively little battle
took palce. The Fourteenth and Thirty-eighth Ohio
coming up, the rebels gave way, and in confusion retreated
to their fortifications at Mill Sprigs, closely pursued by
the Union forces. Owning to the delay in fording
Fishing Creek, the water being up to the arm-pits, and the
current swift, a cable was stretched across the stream for
the men to hold on while crossing. But one company of
the Fourteenth- Company C - reached the field in time to
take part in the action. One the arrival of the Union
forces at the enemy's fortifications, the batteries
commenced shelling the works, and the Fourteenth lay on the
arms all night in a driving rain, ready for the assault
which was ordered for early dawn. The Fourteenth in
advance carried the works, and found that the enemy had
crossed the river during the night, except one regiment
which was captured with twenty pieces of artillery, all
their camp and garrison equipage, together with a large
number of horses, mules, wagons, and other property.
The Fourteenth did not arrive at Pittsburgh Landing in
time to take part in the battle, but took part in the slow
siege on Corinth. After the siege the regiment marched
to Iuka, Miss.; thence to Tuscumbia, Ala., and from there to
Nashville, Tenn., where it arrived on the 7th day of
September, 1862; thence to Bowling Green, Ky., in pursuit of
Bragg's army; then moving on toward Louisville, which last
name place was reached September 22. This was a severe
march on the men, the weather being intensely hot, roads
dusty, and water scarce, and of poor quality. From
Louisville the regiment marched to Perryville, but being
detailed as guard to the ammunition train, did not take part
in the battle. After the pursuit of Bragg was
abandoned, the regiment marched to Gallatin, and on the 15th
of November went into winter quarters, and during the winter
was almost daily skirmishing with John Morgan's
guerillas, and, at the Robling Fork, giving Morgan's entire
command a severe drubbing. The regiment left Gallatin
June 13, 1863, and reached Nashville on the 15th; from there
to Laverque, and thence to Triune, Tenn., and was placed in
advance of Rosecrans's army on Tullahoma and Chattanooga.
On the 2tth of June the Fourteenth with its brigade,
had a sharp engagement with the enemy, and lsot thirty men
in killed and wounded. On June 28 Tullahoma was
reached, and the Fourteenth drove in the enemy's pickets,
and got near enough the town to see the enemy was evacuating
the place. An advance was ordered early next morning
and on crossing Elk Run several men were drowned.
On the last day of August, 1863, the National forces crossed
the Tennessee river on rafts, the pontoons not having
arrived, and on the 19th of September encountered the enemy
at Chickamauga Creek. The Fourteenth, under command of
Lieutenant-Colonel Kingsbury, being in the advance was
deployed in line of battle. The regiment having been
on the march for the previous twenty-four hours, were much
fatigued; but it became immediately hotly engaged with the
enemy, and from nine o'clock in the morning until four
o'clock P.M., was continually under fire, after which it was
relieved for a short time to replenish its cartridge boxes,
when it was again engaged and so remained until sundown.
The next morning it had a desperate encounter with a part of
Longstreet's Division, after which the Union forces fell
back to Rossville. In these several encounters the
regiment lost two hundred and thirty-three men in killed,
wounded and missing, out of a total of four hundred and
forty-nine. Among the wounded were eight line
officers. On the 21st of September the regiment was in
line of battle all day, but was compelled to fall back into
hastily constructed entrenchments near Chattanooga, closely
pursued by teh enemy.
About the middle of November in the brilliant assault
on Mission Ridge, the Fourteenth charged and took a battery
of three guns, loosing in this encounter sixteen killed,
ninety-one wounded and three missing.
On the 17th of December, 1864, all but thirty men of
the Fourteenth re-enlisted for another three years, and on
Christmas day and night they were re-mustered into the
United States service. They were then sent home on
veteran furlough and arrived in Toledo on the 5th of
January, 1864. On the 6th of February it again left
Toledo for the front, and arrived at Chattanooga on the
29th, it having, in the mean time, while on veteran
furlough, recruited its decimated ranks to a full regiment
many of whom came from Fulton and Henry counties.
During the months of March and April, 1864, the Fourteenth
was engaged doing picket duty and building corduroy roads
between Chattanooga and Ringgold. On the 9th of May it
moved with its brigade on Dalton, driving in the enemy's
videtts near Tunnell Hill, at which place commenced that
long and terrible campaign for the possession of Atlanta, in
which in all the marches, incessant skirmishing and
fighting, the Fourteenth bore an honorable part and lost
heavily in officers and men; and while lying in front of
Atlanta the regiment lost twenty men in killed and wounded.
On the 26th of August, in the flanking movement towards
Jonesboro, the Fourteenth and other regiments of its brigade
captured two hundred prisoners. On the 1st of
September the division of the Fourteenth army corps, with
which the Fourteenth was brigaded, marched towards
Jonesboro, destroying the railroad as it marched, and at 4
o'clock that P.M., confronted the enemy's works surrounding
that palce. The third brigade, to which the Fourteenth
belonged, commanded by Colonel Este, of Baird's
Division, Fourteenth Corps, was in line of battle directly
in the rear of General Carlin's Division, which had
just made an unsuccessful charge on the rebel works, when
Colonel Este, with the Fourteenth and Thirty-eighth
Ohio, Tenth Kentucky and Seventy-fourth Indiana, being all
ready for the fight, Colonel Este gave the command:
Battalions, forward! guild center! His lines moved steadily
forward amid a shower of balls. A battery was also
opened with grape and canister, but the brigade moved
steadily on; the edge of the abattis was gained, and with a
yell and a charge of the rebel works were gained and a hand
to hand fight ensued. The rebels fought with
desperation and not until many of them were killed did the
remainder surrender, and were marched as prisoners to the
rear. The Fourteenth took about three hundred
prisoners and several stand of colors, but the cost was
frightful, as fully one-third of the Fourteenth were killed
or wounded. This was the last severe fight for the
regiment, although it marched from Atlanta, with Sherman,
to the sea and through the Carolinas to Goldsboro and
Raleigh, thence to Washington, where it was reviewed by the
president and his cabinet, and on the 13th of July, 1865,
was mustered out of service and returned home, having spent
four years in active military duty in the field.
As has already been stated Company D of the Fourteenth
was enlisted in Henry County and as a complete roster of its
officers and men can be obtained, it is proper that they be
mentioned in connection with this sketch.
