Forty-First Ohio Infantry

Immediately after the battle of Bull Run, a number of citizens of Cleveland, Ohio, set about raising a regiment, and the result of their labors was the Forty-first Ohio Volunteer Infantry, of which Captain William B Hazen, Eighth United States Infantry, was appointed Colonel. The camp of rendezvous was near Cleveland. The regiment was mustered into the service of the United States October 31, 1861, and in the latter part of the month of November the regiment reported for duty at Louisville, Kentucky, and became a part of the Fifteenth Brigade, Nelson's Division. Their first engagement was at Pittsburg Landing, April 6, 1862. They were in the front line in the charge, and it was terrible - six men, who in turn carried the colors, were shot down, and of the three hundred and seventy-three men who entered the engagement, one hundred and forty-one were killed or wounded in half an hour. In the siege of Corinth, the Forty-first was engaged principally in skirmishing. Of the four hundred and ten officers and men of the Forty-first, the largest number it ever took into battle, one hundred and twelve were killed or wounded. Without doubt the severest engagement this regiment was engaged in was at Orchard Knob, between Chatanooga and Mission Ridge, November 23, 1863, where they made a charge and captured the colors of the Twenty-eighth Alabama regiment. They lost one hundred and fifteen men. The regiment was discharged at Columbus, Ohio, November 28, 1865, having served four years and one month.
