History Of The 65th Ohio Volunteer Infantry
THE SIXTY-FIFTH OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
Was the second and last infantry regiment organized at Camp Buckingham for the
Sherman Brigade. It was mustered into service the first of December. 1861, and
promptly took the field in Kentucky, reaching Camp Morton, four miles east of
Bardstown, December 30th. It was there brigaded under Colonel Harker in Wood's
Division. In January, 1862, marching through Bardstown, Springfield, Lebanon.
Haysville, Danford and Stanford, it reached "Hell's Gap," and was set to corduroy
the road. The country was swampy, the labor severe, and the men sickened and died
from the miasma. Its next advance was through woods and by-roads, the turnpike
having been destroyed to Nashville. March 29th General Garfield assumed command of
the brigade, and it moved for Pittsburg Landing, which was reached too late for
active participation in Shiloh battle, its loss only two wounded. It was active in
the subsequent siege of Corinth, then moved through Alabama to Bridgeport, and
guarded the Tennessee at that point till August. It was then engaged against Bragg,
after that was sent to Nashville, where Colonel Barker assumed command of the
brigade again. Its part in Stone River battle has already been given. In 1863 it
remained at and near Murfreesboro until June, then moved to the vicinity of
Chattanooga. It was in reserve at Lee and Gordons Mills the first day of the
Chickamauga battle, but was actively engaged the next day, September 20th, with
heavy loss. It was also honorably conspicuous in the remaining movements about
Chattanooga, including Missionary Ridge battle. After veteran furlough it was one of
the regiments sharing in the glory of the Atlanta campaign, and in Thomas' stand
against Hood which, by the battles of Spring Hill, Franklin and Nashville, whipped
him out of Tennessee and broke up his army forever. After that it camped at
Nashville until June, 1865. Then was sent to New Orleans, and thence into Texas,
where it was on garrison duty at San Antonio; was mustered out at Victoria, Texas,
November 30, 1865. With the assurance that no regiment of all our armies had done
more to crush the rebellion and save the Nation, the men of the Sixty-Fifth were
discharged at Camp Chase on January 2, 1866. Companies C and G were Ashland county
volunteers.
