The next day Hood's second line was attacked. The Ninety-fifth, and other regiments, piled knapsacks, and with orders neither to fire a shot nor to yell, they "went" for the works and carried them by storm, capturing battle flags, guns and prisoners. The cloud, that for more than two years had rested above the regiment, sailed away, and the boys triumphed in the sunshine of victory, though the feeling was mixed with sadness when their rolls were called, bearing the names of one half their comrades, whose bones were whitening on many a southern battle field. After these successes, the regiment performed its part in the pursuit of Hood, and joined General Canby's forces, at New Orleans, in the reduction of Mobile, where it arrived in March, 1865. From this time until the bursting of the Confederate bubble, the regiment did guard duty. At the close of the war, it was ordered to Camp Chase, and mustered out August 19, 1865. The rolls showed that of one thousand and eighty five officers and men, composing the regiment, five hundred and twenty eight officers and men were killed in battle, died of wounds, or were starved to death in southern prison pens by order of the chivalrous (?) Davis, amateur president, etc. NINETY FIFTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY FIELD and STAFF Colonel William L.
