SIEGE OF CINCINNATI.
When Ohio was
threatened by invasion in September, 1862, Cincinnati
especially being in danger of destruction, and the Governor
called for immediate help, hundreds of strong men poured
forth from every county in the State.
On horseback and on foot - in companies, battalions and
regiments - with squirrel rifles, shot-guns and bayoneted
muskets - in regulation uniforms and in plain home-spun,
they hurried forward to the music of the soul-stirring drum
and fife, and took their places in the ranks of war.
Inside of three days Cincinnati was swarming with
legions of brave soldiers, and "from early dawn to dewy
eve," the streets resounded to the tread of martial columns.
The rebels were before the city about eight days, but
it was not attacked. And soon after their withdrawal,
the men who were thereafter to be known in history as "squirrel-hunters,"
were permitted to return to their homes
