Nineteenth Ohio Infantry

This regiment numbered about one thousand men, and was mustered into the service at Camp Jackson, Columbus, the last week in May, 1861. It was mustered for three months service. Company F was from Lake and Geauga counties, under command of Captain George E. Paine. After the organization of the regiment they went into the West Virginia campaign under General McClellan. The Confederate army, under General Robert S. Garnett, was concentrating in northwest Virginia, with a view to a junction with General H.A. Wise on the Kanawha. After the skirmish at Philippi, General Garnett took a position at Laurel Hill, where he fortified. General McClellan planned a flank movement that was successful in getting Garnett into a proper shape for an attack to be made by General Rosecrans' brigade, composed of the Eighth, Tenth and Thirteenth Indiana, and Nineteenth Ohio Regiments. At Rich Mountain General Garnett had posted Colonel Pegram with a strong force. It was decided to attack this position first, and Colonel Rosecrans was sent to make a detour of eight or nine miles through the mountains to gain the turnpike in Pegram's rear. This much was successfully accomplished, but dispatches sent from McClellan to Rosecrans were captured and the plan discovered. The Confederates were prepared for the attack made on the 11th of July, and fought with obstinacy. The position of the Nineteenth in this battle was a most trying one, but the men stood their first fire like veterans.

The following is from the report of General Rosecrans" "The Nineteenth Ohio distinguished itself for the cool and handsome manner in which it held its post against a flank attack, and for the manner in which it came into line and delivered its fire near the close of the action." The Nineteenth was not mustered out of service until September, 1861, on account of delays of the War Department.
