Seven companies were recruited there. The regiment was ordered to Zanesville, and afterwards to Camp Dennison, a company being added at each place. December 27th, it was ordered to Louisville, where danger was expected from the Morgan raid. The order was altogether unexpected , as the organization was incomplete, but in two hours after its reception the regiment was on its way, finely equipped. In February, 1863, it was ordered to Nashville, and while there, suffered severly from sickness. The regiment was assigned to General C.C. Gilbert's division, and moved to Franklin, where it participated in several expiditions against the enemy. The command formed the right wing of the army of the Cumberland, as it entered upon the Tullahoma campaign. After a wearisome and trying march over the mountains, the regiment bore a distinguished part in the sanguinary battle of chickamauga, being brought into action on the afternoon of the second day, at the most critical point and moment. It was a bloody baptism for the regiment, as its loss was one hundred and thirty eight, officers and men, out of three hundred and eighty. The division formed a part of General Sherman's force at the battle of Mission Ridge. From here the regiment moved to the relief of Knoxville. This was a march of much suffering. The men marched without sufficient clothing, without blankets or overcoats, and many of them without shoes. After Longstreet was forced to retire, the regiment returned to Chattanooga, and thence to McAfee's church, eight miles south, where it went into winter quarters. Here it remained, until May 7, 1864, when it moved on the Atlanta campaign. The regiment was at Buzzard's Gap, Resaca, Rome, Dallas, and New Hope Church, and on to Kennesaw Mountain. In this battle (Kennesaw) the regiment formed the first line of assault, and lost ten officers and one hundred and fifty three men. According to the diary of an officer, during one hundred and seven days of the Atlanta campaign, the regiment was under fire eighty nine days. It afterward joined Sherman in his "march to the sea," bearing fully it's share of the fights and hardships of this memorable journey. After the surrender of Johnson, it moved to Washington, and participated in the grand review. It was mustered out at Louisville, Kentucky, July 6, 1865, and soon after discharged at Columbus, Ohio.
