Ohio in the War 1861-65 Volume 1

An effort is made in these pages to present some leading facts in the illustrious record of the State of Ohio during the war of the Great Rebellion. It is sought, first, to exhibit the home history of the State through the long struggle; second, to present in whatever fullness of detail may be possible, the careers of the General Officers from Ohio, whether born in or appointed from the State; and third, to trace in outline the history of each regiment sent out, with the roster of its officers, and the leading facts in its organization and service.
