This was raised in the summer of 1861, and received at first the
name
of "Platt Zouaves," in compliment to its colonel, Abraham S. PLATT. Its
first service was in West Virginia, where it fought a battle ten days
after
arrival, near Chapmanville, defeating a Virginia regiment. The rest of
the autumn and winter it was on guard and scouting duty. In May, 1862,
it took part in the battle of Princeton, losing several men. September
10th, while holding an outpost at Fayetteville, with the Thirty-seventh
Ohio, it was attacked by a large rebel force, and beat them off, but
with
heavy loss. It was then on garrison duty until May, 1863, when it was
furnished
with horses and became a regiment of "mounted rifles." It was in the
cavalry
expedition against Wytheville, in which it bore a distinguished part.
Two-thirds
of the regiment "veteraned," in January, 1864, and took full part in
the
movements of that year in the valley of the Shenandoah and elsewhere in
Virginia. It was in SHERIDAN's famous battle of Winchester; and was
captured
at Beverly by General ROSSER, January 11, 1865, a few weeks after which
the remnant of the old Thirty-fourth was consolidated with the
Thirty-sixth
Ohio at Cumberland, Maryland, taking the name of the latter, and losing
its identity thenceforth.

This command dates from August, 1861. Its first colonel was Captain
(afterward General) George CROOK, of the regular army. Before he took
command,
six companies made a vigorous scout after guerillas in West Virginia.
During
the winter, at Summerville, the regiment suffered greatly from
sickness,
having nearly fifty deaths by disease. May 23, 1862, it aided
effectively
in repelling an attack upon Lewisburgh. In August, it was sent to join
the army of the Potomac; was in the second battle of Bull Run, and the
battles of South Mountain and Antietam. After the latter it was
commanded,
until his resignation in April, 1863, by Colonel E. B. ANDREWS, a
prominent
professor in Marietta college. In January, 1863, it joined the army of
the Cumberland at Nashville, and participated in the battles at and
preceding
Chickamauga, where it lost very heavily. It also won the right to
inscribe
"Mission Ridge" upon its banners. Returning to Virginia it participated
in a number of minor actions, was in the severe engagement at
Barryville,
September, 3d, in other actions on the 19th and 22d, and in the battle
of Winchester, October 19th. After the merging of the Thirty-fourth in
it, the consolidated regiment served without much fighting in northern
Virginia until July 22, 1865, when it was mustered out of service and
returned
to Ohio.

The Thirty-ninth rendezvoused at Camp Colerain in July, 1861. Seven
companies were here mustered into the service, July 31st; three days
after,
the regiment marched to Camp Dennison, where the remainder were
mustered
in. It was the first Ohio regiment to join General FREMONT's forces in
Missouri, where it went on guard-duty in early September, along the
North
Missouri railroad. Five companies marched with General STURGE's to the
relief of Lexington, but did not reach it in time, though moving
rapidly
and suffering severely. November 9, it joined the army of General
HUNTER
at Springfield, marched with it to Sedalia and Syracuse, where it
remained
through December and January. The next month, a long and peculiarly
severe
march was made to St. Louis, whence the regiment was taken to Commerce,
to join the army of General POPE. It took part in the operations by
which
New Madrid and Island Number 10 were captured, and in April joined
General
HALLECK's army at Hamburgh Landing, on the Tennessee river. It was
engaged
in many skirmishes, losing considerably, until the evacuation of
Corinth,
which it was one of the first regiments to enter. A few weeks were then
spent in guarding railroads. It took part in the battle of Iuka and in
the pursuit of the enemy, returning to Corinth in time to engage in the
battle of October 3 and 4. In early November, it joined the army under
General GRANT, at Grand Junction, Tennessee, and was much engaged in
skirmishes
and reconnoissances. December 18th, it moved by rail to Jackson,
Tennessee,
to check FORREST's movements in the rear of GRANT. On the thirty-first,
FORREST was inet and defeated at Parker's cross roads, when the
regiment
moved back by very severe marching to Corinth. It remained there till
April,
1863, when it joined General DODGE's expedition to the Tuscumbia
valley.
In May it removed to Memphis, and in October to Prospect, Tennessee,
where,
December 27th, five hundred and thirty-four of its men were re-mustered
as veterans, receiving the usual furlough for thirty days. Again
assembling
at Camp Dennison, it received a reinforcement of one hundred and twelve
It was in the actions at Resaca, Kenesaw Mountain, Nicojack Creek,
and
Atlanta, and the pursuit of HOOD as far as Galesville, Alabama, whence
it returned to Marietta, where, in November, it was paid for the first
time in nine months and thoroughly re-equipped. It did effective work
destroying
railroads during the march to the sea. At Pocotaligo, South Carolina,
it
received two hnndred and four recruits. During the march of SHERMAN's
army
northward, it was engaged at Rivers' bridge, on the Salkehatchie, at
Cheraw,
and at Bentonville. The march to Washington city and the grand review
were
passed without special incident. The regiment was mustered out of
service
at Louisville, July 9, 1865. Its record is considered highly honorable,
in that it gave to the veteran organization more men than any other
regiment
from Ohio, and never once turned its back upon the enemy. Its chaplain,
the first year of its service, was the famous Sunday-school missionary,
Rev. B. W. CHIDLAW, who did much to give the regiment character for
religion
and temperance. Bible readings and prayer regularly characterized the
dress
parade; and a "Christian Brotherhood" and temperance society were
maintained
by the regiment, including, it is said, almost every member of company
K.
