Previous to October, 1862, a company of fifty men had been enlisted by Captain W. D. HAMILTON, of the Thirty-second Ohio infantry; and early in that month the same officer received orders to complete his regiment, the fifty before secured becoming the nucleus. They rendezvoused at Zanesville. The command remained in the region near Manchester, Kentucky, having frequent skirmishes with the enemy, until June 15th, when an expedition was planned into east Tennessee. At Pine Mountain Gap the rebels were surprised, and nearly all captured without firing a gun. On the first of August it proceeded to Glasgow, where a cavalry brigade was organizing, which was destined to move with General BURNSIDE into east Tennessee. During this march both men and horses were sometimes for two days without food. Knoxville was taken with little opposition. Major HAMILTON was appointed provost marshal of the city, and the battalion did patrol and guard duty around the suburbs. On the sixteenth of December the regiment was completed by the organization of the Third battalion. It was finally ordered to report at Decatur, Alabama, on the fifth of May. Previous to this time, portions had been in different localities and had met with a great variety of experiences, some of the men having died in the horrible Andersonville prison. Between this date and June 1st, cavalry skirmishes were of daily occurrence. After several movements, involving long and fatiguing marches, they joined General SHERMAN's army in front of Atlanta. About the middle of November the different portions of the Ninth that had been doing duty apart were again joined, and from this time were a part of General SHERMAN's army on the march to the coast. The command was finally ordered to Concord, North Carolina, where it remained on duty until the first of July, when it was ordered home. On the second of August, 1865, the regimental colors and other property were turned over to the Government at Columbus, and the veterans once more became citizens and finally separated.
