62nd REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY

     The Sixty-second Ohio, Colonel Francis B. Pond, was organized at Camp Goddard, Zanesville, Ohio, in November, 1861, and remained in camp until the latter part of January, 1862. It was then ordered to report to General Rosecrans, commanding' in Western Virginia. February 3 the regiment encamped at Great Cacapon Creek; March 10, moved thence to Martins burg, and thence to Winchester. It took part in the battle at the latter place, and in the pursuit of the flying enemy as far as Strasburg. In April and May it was encamped at Edinburgh and Newmarket. Mav 12 the regiment begun a toilsome march through the mountains, via Swift's Gap, Cheat Gap, and Warren ton, to Falmouth. At the latter place, May 25, it was reviewed by the President and Generals Shields and McDowell. Ordered thence to Western Virginia again, the regiment marched through Catletts Station, Manassas Junction, Hay-market, Rectortown, Front Royal, Luray and Columbia Bridge, where it arrived June 5. The same day the Sixty-second made a forced march to a point within five miles of Port Republic, where the advance brigades met the enemy under Stonewall Jackson, and after a fierce struggle of several hours, were compelled to retreat and return to Columbia of the rebel capital. May 9 and 10 it was hotly engaged and lost heavily. May 20, a portion of the lines having fallen into the hands of the enemy, the Sixty-second was delegated to retake the ground; a desperate charge ensued and the regiment lost heavily, but gained possession of the enemy's rifle pits. During the spring, summer and fall of 1864, the Sixty-second was almost constantly encountering the enemy and drawing his lire. For weeks at a time the men dared not throw off their accoutrements. In the spring of 1865, the Sixty-second took part in the operations below Petersburg. April 2, it was one of the foremost regiments in the assault on Fort Gregg. It also took part at Appomattox. About the first of September, 1865, it was consolidated with the Sixty-seventh Ohio, which was mustered out in December.
