Immediately after the muster-out for the three
months (Aug. 15, 1861) successful efforts were made to
reorganize for three years; and the regiment was
organized assembled at Camp Dennison on the 30th, where
it was drilled until the last of September.
About the 1st of September Amos A. Whissen, who
had been 1st lieutenant, in Company 11, 175th Regiment,
the first company raised in Morgan County, commenced
raising a company, which was completed by the 19th.
On the 23rd they met and elected Amos A. Whissen
captain, Daniel Sheets first and Theodore
Stewart second lieutenant, and left for Camp
Dennison in the afternoon of the same day. On the
30th, the regiment was ordered to Camp Dick Robinson,
Ky., where it reported on the 2d of October, 1861.
From there it marched and took part in the battle of
Wild Cat, with seven wounded. At Mill Spring it
had a share in the defeat of Zollicoffer, and in
skirmishes during the siege of Corinth preceding.
At the battle of Stone River the regiment was actively
and efficiently engaged, and went into line in that
battle at 1 p. m. (December 31) and charged on and drove
the rebel general Hanson's brigade, killing him
and one hundred of the rank and file, with a loss of
twenty wounded. At Mission Ridge, though in the
rear line in the commencement, it was at the front when
the top of the hill was attained.
After the organization
as veterans the regiment went with Sherman to the
sea, with him through the Carolinas, took part in the
battle of Bentonville, passed in review before the
president at Washington, and was mustered out in service
at Louisville, Ky., July, 1865.
