Companies B and C were largely recruited from Pickaway county. It was organized at Camp Chase, April 23, 1862, and departed for Western Virginia May 27, 1862. One month later it joined Major-General Fremont's army at Strasburg, and marched with it to Sperryville, Virginia, where Major-General Pope assumed command of the army. At Freeman's Ford, on the Rappahannock river, the Sixty-first had its first fight with the enemy, a part of Longstreet's Corps. In the second Bull Run battle it covered the retreat of the National forces on the Centerville turnpike, toward Washington. In this engagement the Sixty-first lost twenty five men, killed and wounded. September 2d the regiment was engaged at fairfax Court House, and eventually fell back to the chain bridge and formed a part of the reserve force, under General Siegel, fo the protection of Washington. January 20, 1863, the regiment marched to hartwood Church, and built winter quarters; but after occupying them one night they were abandoned, and the regiment marched to Stafford Court House, where it remained until April 27, 1863. The Sixty-first then crossed the Rappahannock at Kelley's ford, and moved to the rear of the rebel position at Fredericksburg, where it formed a connection with that portion of the national army which crossed the Rappahannock at United States Ford. It took position on the right, preparatory to the battle of Chancellorsville, which was opened at six o'clock on the evening of May 2d. The Sixty-first was engaged on the 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th. It lost four officers wounded, a large number of men wounded and five killed. June 12th it joined in pursuit of Lee's rebel army, at that time making its way into Pennsylvania.
