Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Told in unflinching detail, this is the story of the Twenty-Ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, also known as the Giddings Regiment or the Abolition Regiment, after its founder, radical abolitionist Congressman J. R. Giddings. The men who enlisted in the Twenty-Ninth OVI were, according to its lore, handpicked to ensure each was as pure in his antislavery beliefs as its founder. Whether these soldiers would fight harder than other soldiers, and whether the people of their hometowns would remain devoted to the ideals of the regiment, were questions that could only be tested by the experiment of war. The Untried Life is the story of these men from their very first regimental formation in a county fairground to the devastation of Gettysburg and the march to Atlanta and back again, enduring disease and Confederate prisons. It brings to vivid life the comradeship and loneliness that pervaded their days on the march. Dozens of unforgettable characters emerge, animated by their own letters and diaries: Corporal Nathan Parmenter, whose modest upbringing belies the eloquence of his writings; Colonel Lewis Buckley, one of the Twenty-Ninth’s most charismatic officers; and Chaplain Lyman Ames, whose care of the sick and wounded challenged his spiritual beliefs. The Untried Life shows how the common soldier lived—his entertainments, methods of cooking, medical treatment, and struggle to maintain family connections—and separates the facts from the mythology created in the decades after the war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Campaigns of the 124th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry: With Roster and Roll of Honor The campaigns of the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, if written at all, should have been written nearer the close of the war, while the stirring scenes and events of those years of daring, duty and glory were vivid in the mind of the writer. The "Campaigns" should have been written by one that had intended to write them from the first, and had made such due and proper preparation during the time the same were going forward as would enable him to collect the necessary data for a correct and valuable history of the men, the companies and the regiment as an entirety. The "Campaigns" should have been written by one that had as full knowledge of the entire regiment as the author of these imperfect sketches had of the company he commanded during the service.

Book excerpt: The story of the American Civil War is best told by those who lived it and endured the hardships, heartaches, and sacrifices on the battlefield and throughout long, hard-fought campaigns. Bvt. Colonel Edward Culp brings us telling accounts of the 25th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, cited in Fox's Regimental Losses in the American Civil War, 1861-1865 as one of the 300 fighting regiments of the Civil War. Cross Keys, 1862."The deafening roar of musketry and the wiz of grape and canister. The crushing of timber by the dread missiles mingled with the unearthly yells of opposing forces and the moaning of the dying and the screams of the wounded. Oh God, how terrible is war..."--Sgt. T.J. Evans Gettysburg, 1863. "...under the cover of smoke, the rebels made a desperate charge and succeeded in gaining the very crest of the hill (Cemetery Hill). Among the batteries the fighting was hand-to-hand."--Lt. E. C. Culp Honey Hill, 1864. "A tremendous roar of musketry had commenced along the line, but we steadily advanced, right into the tangled wall of vines and briers, which clung to us as we tore our way through them."--Cpl. Samuel Wildman

Book excerpt: Between August 1862 and May 1864, the 52nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry enjoyed a charmed existence. All that changed when Gen. William T. Sherman's Federal columns embarked May 7 for Atlanta, the 52nd leading the advance south at the head of its army corps. During the next four months of exhaustive campaigning the Buckeyes' discipline, courage and endurance were tested as never before, their ranks reduced by 253 casualties -- the highest total of any regiment then serving in the 14th Corps, Army of the Cumberland. Recruited in Jefferson, Belmont, Tuscarawas and Van Wert countries, as well as Cincinnati, Cleveland and the state's Western Reserve, the 52nd was led to the front by Col. Daniel McCook Jr., a scion of Ohio's famous fighting McCook family. "Colonel Dan, " as his men universally called him, was a pre-war law partner of Sherman, a lover of poetry and student of military history. Soon elevated to brigade command, McCook performed valuable service in the Perryville, Stones River, Chickamauga and Chattanooga campaigns, although his Ohioans experienced limited combat. When the rough slopes of Kennesaw Mountain were reached in June 1864 the 52nd met the grim face of war head on. In a desperate uphill assault against entrenched Confederates on June 27 at what became known as the "Dead Angle, " McCook's brigade was repulsed, losing 35 percent of its strength. More than 135 Buckeyes were shot down, 45 of them killed or mortally wounded, including McCook. A member of the 52nd described Kennesaw as "our golgotha and our Waterloo." The regiment's major, J. Taylor Holmes, wrote soon afterward: "Men gave up their lives everywhere, it seemed. You could not say or think who would die or bemaimed the next instant. (Our) point of assault was the key to the mountain, but human flesh could not do more than we did and a failure was the result." Eleven weeks later, after Atlanta finally was occupied, Holmes reflected: "No Ohio regiment has made a bloodier mark during the past four months."

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Record of the Ninety-Fourth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in the War of the Rebellion The history of any one volunteer regiment in the War of the Rebellion is, doubtless, very much the same as that of other regiments of the same line of service. The President's proclamations calling for volunteers, at the dates and for the numbers hereinafter mentioned, gave opportunities for enlistment according to the judgment and inclinations of different persons. There were some men with fewer hindrances than other; and some men were more disposed to adventure than others; and doubtless some men were more ready to risk their lives than others; but all men who enlisted when they believed their services were required for the prosecution of the war and the preservation of the Union should be esteemed equally patriotic. There was no regiment composed of men wholly of the same occupation. There was scarcely a company in which there were not men of nearly every profession and occupation. The volunteer army demonstrated a problem in a republican form of government which, in the minds of many people, especially in Europe, was of doubtful solution. It fully settled the question of the will and power of the people, in the absence of a large standing army, to fight their own battles, if necessary, in defense of the Republic. Everywhere, even among ourselves, there is a better understanding of the nature and stability of the Union. It is not at all probable that any sane man will ever again deem it possible to disrupt this Union by engaging in civil war. That question is settled by the arbitrament of arms.
