One Hundred and Fifth Ohio Infantry.

This regiment was composed of citizens of Ashtabula, Lake, Geauga, Trumbull, and Mahohing counties. Companies G and K and a part of Company I were from Ashtabula county. The regiment was mustered into service on the 20th and 21st of August, 1862, at Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, Ohio. The last company was mustered in at ten o'clock on the morning of August 21, and in one hour the regiment, one thousand and thirteen strong, was on the march, being the first regiment to leave the State under the President's call for troops of August 4, 1862. Having been armed and equipped, the regiment left for Lexinton, Kentucky, where it was assigned to the brigade commanded by Colonel Charles Anderson. General Kirby Smith, in command of the Confederate army, was advancing from Cumberland Gap, and the regiment had every prospect of an immediate engagement. On the 30th of August the regiment advanced toward Richmond, Kentucky, for the purpose of reinforcing General Nelson, but the battle had been fought and lost, and hasty preparations were made for departure to Louisville. Colonel Hall, of the One Hundred and Fith, was in command of the rear-guard. The weather was intensely warm, and there had been a drought in the country marched over. The column was pushed forward in great haste, and many fell from sunstroke apparently dead. The regiment faithfully performed its duty as rear-guard, and acted as a support to a section of artillery totally unprovided with ammunition. At Louisville, the regiment was assigned to Brigadier-General Terrill's Brigaide, of Brigadier-General Jackson's division. Leaving Louisville, the regiment marched to Perryville, where it was engaged in the battle of October 8, 1862. On the afternoon of that day the battle commenced at the point where the One Hundred and Fifth was stationed. The regiment moved rapidly forward and formed at the base of a ridge, where it awaited orders. The One Hundred and Twenty-Third Illinois Regiment and Parsons' Battery had been assigned a position to the front and left, where they became engaged, and the one Hundred and Fifth was ordered to their support. The regiment passed to the rear of the battery, for the purpose of forming on its left. Before reaching its position it received a volley from a Confederate regiment, and at once halted and opened fire. Another Confederate regiment rose out of the tall grass that completely concealed it and fired another volley. Parsons' Battery had been posted without any support near it, and within fifty yards of the concealed line of Confederate infantry. Most of the guns had been silenced, many of its men killed and wounded, and half of its horses shot down. At the first volley from the One Hundred and Fifth the Confederate lines, three or four deep, moved forward, firing as they advanced, and swept the ridge where the regiment and battery stood. The Confederate batteries were posted in rear of their infantry, which did terrible execution. General Terrill ordered Major Perkins, of the One Hundred and Fifth, to have the men fix bayonets and try to save the battery. Fresh troops of the enemy sprang up and the line faltered, wavered, and fell back to its former position. The enemy succeeded in taking the battery, and the contending lines were almost within pisol-shot of each other. The guns of the battery were turned upon the Federal lines, but the men were unwilling to retreat. At length General Terrill, seeing that further resistance was hopeless, gave the order to fall back. They re-formed in the rear of a battery, supporting it until night closed the contest. The regiment went into battle eight hundred strong, losing forty-two men killed and two hundred and twelve wounded. On the 20th of March, 1863, the One Hundred and Fifth was engaged with General John Morgan's command at Milton, Tennessee, where the chieftain received a severe chastisement. It participated in the Tullahoma campaign, and followed in pursuit of Bragg's army southward, crossing the Tennessee river and Lookout mountain, and next engaged the enemy at Chickamauga, September 19 and 20, 1863. On Sunday, September 20, a gap was made in the lines, caused by the withdrawal of General Wood's division, which the enemy took advantage of. General Brannan's troops were outflanked, and fell back in confusion. General Reynolds, seeing that his flank would be exposed, ordered Major Perkins to change front with his regiment, and charge the Confederates as they advanced. At a word the regiment started forward, with deafening cheers upon the enemy. The first line of the enemy was thrown back upon the second, upon reaching which, the regiment opened upon it in gallant style. Major Perkins soon saw that his left flank was exposed, and he was obliged to withdraw. The onset of the enemy was checked, and time given General Reynolds to secure his flanks and prevent disaster to the army. At this battle the One Hundred and Fifth lost seventy-five men in killed, wounded, and taken prisoners. At Chattanooga the One Hundred and Fifth was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, Fourteenth Army Corps. It participated in the battle of Mission Ridge, Tennessee, November 25, 1863, in the Atlanta campaign, in pursuit of Hood to Gaylesville, Alabama, and in the march down to the sea, and in the marches through the Carolinas. The regiment was mustered out at Washington, June 3, 1865, and disbanded at Cleveland, Ohio. Of the one thousand and thirteen men who left Cleveland in 1862, only four hundred and twenty-seven were mustered out in 1865.
