                    Regiment History      
           OHIO ONE HUNDRED and FIFTH INFANTRY 
                     (Three Years) 

One Hundred and Fifth Infantry. Col., Albert S. Hall; Lieut.
Cols., William R. Tolles, George T. Perkins; Maj. Charles 
G. Edwards. This regiment was organized at Camp Cleveland, 
Aug. 20 and 21 1862, to serve for three years. Within one 
hour after muster-in the regiment, 1,013 strong, was on the 
march to the station, under orders to leave the state. Its 
first field of operations was in Kentucky and after various 
marches in which it suffered much,it left Louisville in Octo- 
ber, marched via Taylorsville and Bloomfield, to Perryville, 
where it was engaged in the battle of that name.The regiment
went into this battle 800 strong and of these 48 were killed 
and 217 wounded, many of whom died of their wounds. Passing 
next into Tennessee the regiment remained at Murfreesboro un-
til the following June, when it broke camp to participate in 
the Tullahoma campaign. It was engaged at Chickamauga and was 
highly complimented by the brigade commander. The casualties 
of the regiment in this battle were 80 killed, wounded and 
prisoners,and as two of the largest companies were not in the engagement
the casualties were proportionately very heavy. 
The regiment took part in the maneuvers at Chattanooga and 
partici- pated in the battle of Missionary ridge, its loss 
being comparatively slight. In the long and fatiguing At-
lanta campaign of many skirmishes and battles, the regiment 
made a good record, and although not immediately engaged 
in any of the heavy engagements, its casualties were large. 
After the fall of Atlanta it marched to the sea and up 
through the Carolinas, thence to Washington, and then home,
 being mustered out on June 3, 1865. Of the 1,013 men who 
left Cleveland in 1862 only 427 were present at the final 
roll-call.
