The following genial sketch of the movements of the regiment was written by Col. Humphreys, in command at the time it was mustered, and with it during its whole term of service "The regiment left Camp Chase on the 20th day of August, crossed the Ohio River into Kentucky, and became part of the Army of the Ohio, under command of Gen. Wright. When Gens. Bragg and Kirby Smith invaded Kentucky, the first duty of the Forty-Fifth was guarding the Kentucky Central Railroad; after that it went into camp at Lexington. Ky., and was placed in the brigade of Gen. Green Clay Smith, (Gen. Gilmore's Division), Early in the winter of 1863, the regiment was mustered, and took an active part in the campaign in Kentucky during that spring and summer, participating in the battles of Dutton's Hill, Monticello and at Captain West's When Gen. Morgan made his raid through Indiana and Ohio, the Forty-Fifth, forming a part of Col. Wolford's Brigade of Mounted Infantry and Cavalry, followed him from Jamestown, Ky., and took part in the engagement at Buffington's Island and Cheshire where most of Morgan's army surrendered The command was pushed back to Kentucky as that State had been in vaded by the retie Gen. Scott. In the fall of 1863 Gen. Burn side entered East Tennessee, and on that campaign the Forty-Fifth formed for a time a part of Col. Byrd's brigade, Gen. Carter's division, but soon after entering Tennessee, was transferred back to Wolford's brigade, and while stationed at Philadelphia, the brigade was surrounded by a large force of the enemy The command cut its way out, but lost many men, killed, wounded and taken prisoner. The Forty-Fifth again suffered severely send of Knoxville; being for the time dismounted they were attacked by a large Cavalry force,and many of the regiment came up missing. * * * A few days later the division commanded by Gen. Saunders was covering the retreat of Burnside's army from Lenore Station toward Knoxville, hard pushed by Longstreet. The order was to hold the enemy in check as long as possible, so as to complete the defenses of Knoxville. The National troops took position on a hill south of the town, where the enemy in force charged them, mortally wo unding Gen. Saunders and Lieut. Fearns, the latter of Company G, of the Forty-Fifth. During the siege of Knoxville, the regiment occupied a position south of Holston River, and when the siege was raised by Sherman's advance, it followed the retreating rebels toward Virginia. "In the spring of 1864 the regiment was dismounted, and ordered to join Sherman at Dalton, Ga., and was then assigned to the First Brigade, Second Division, Twenty-Third Army Corps. It participated in the battle of Resaca, where it suffered severely. About the 1st of July it was transferred to the Fourth Army Corps, and served with that body until the close of the war. It participated in the battle of Kennesaw Mountain, and all the battles from that time until the fall of Atlanta. It came back with Gen. Thomas and took part in the hard fought battle of Franklin, Tenn., where the whole of Hood's army was hurled against the Fourth and Twenty-Third Corps. This, considering the number of men engaged, was one of the most terrific battles of the war. The Forty-Fifth was in the two days' fighting in front of Nashville, when Thomas' army completely routed the enemy. After following Hood's army (or what was left of it) across the Tennessee River, the regiment went into camp at Huntsville, Ala., and just before the surrender of Lee it, with the Fourth Corps, was ordered to Bull's Gap, in East Tennessee, near the Virginia line, and was there when the surrender took place. The regiment returned to Nashville from Bull's Gap, and was there mustered out of the service on the 12th of June, 1865, the war having closed."
