ELEVENTH OHIO INFANTRY.

Only part of this regiment was raised in Hamilton county. It mustered in for
three months April, 1861, and for three years June 20, 1861. Taking the
field in July, it formed part of the celebrated Kanawha division, led by
General J. D. COX, and participated in all the movements of the division in
West Virginia and elsewhere. At one time company K, principally mechanics,
rebuilt a bridge across the Pocotaligo in less than a day, with no tools but
some axes and augers. The same company afterwards helped to build two boats,
together forming a ferry-boat one hundred and forty feet long, with which
communication was opened between the wings of the Kanawha army. The Eleventh
was in the battle of South Mountain, and took part in the famous charge
against the stone wall; fought also at Antietam, was removed to Tennessee in
February, 1863, participated in the advance on Chattanooga, was in the
battles of Chickamauga and Mission Ridge, and some months after in a
desperate charge up a steep declivity near Buzzard's Roost, when it lost
one-sixth of its men.

February 17, 1864, it was presented with a stand of colors by the ladies of
Troy, Ohio. The regiment, after a hearty welcome in Cincinnati on its
return, was mustered out June 21, 1864. Until the time of its disbandment,
from December, 1861, a regimental church was kept up, and the religious
element was always prominent in the command.

The Eleventh battalion of Ohio infantry was composed of two companies of
this regiment whose time did not expire as soon as the others, and also of
those who re-enlisted as veterans. They were commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
STUBBS, who had been sergeant major of the original organization;
accompanied SHERMAN in his last campaign; and were mustered out at the close
of the war.
