On the night of the 30th, the division formed within one mile of Stone river. The morning of the 31st found the regiment in line; after standing thus for several hours, hearing the din of the battle, its turn came to be placed face to face with the enemy, when it fought as cooly as if it had been on a hundred battle-fields. The regiment lost, in this fight, one hundred and thirty men killed, wounded and missing. The regiment lay in camp until June 23rd, when it moved, with General Rosecrans, on Tullahoma, and there it did effective work. Its losses were eighty-eight officers and men killed, wounded and missing. From here the march was resumed to bridgeport, Alabama. January 24, 1864, it again moved, this time to Ooltewah, Tennessee, where it went into camp. This was abandoned on the third of May, at one o'clock in the afternoon, and then commenced the great Atlanta campaign. For one hundred and twenty days, the Ninetieth Ohio, in company with the National Forces, marched, fought, and suffered, until the eighth of September, it had the satisfaction of entering the city of Atlanta, fairly won. The regiment camped here until October 3d, when it received orders to move. Passing through Atlanta, it made its way over nearly the same ground it had marched in its advance on that city. The regiment, with the Fourth Corps, participated in all the brilliant fights on the way, including that of Franklin, which has been pronounced as one of the most bloody of the whole war. It was also in the battle before Nashville, and after victory had crowned the National Arms, joined in the pursuit of the demoralized rebels to the banks of the Tennessee River. On the fourth of january, 1865, it went into camp near Huntsville, Alabama, where it remained until March, when it moved to Nashville. It remained here until the surrender of the rebel armies, when it was sent home to Ohio and mustered out. NINTIETH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY FIELD AND STAFF Colonel Isaac N.
