     This regiment was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, on the twenty-eighth day of August, 1861; was armed at once, and, on the thirtieth, ordered to the field.  The next day found the regiment at Benwood, Virginia, and on the second of September it reached Clarksburg.  Here an attack was expected, and company H was sent out to reconnoiter, but the enemy was not discovered.  Late the same evening the regiment marched, and on the afternoon of the next day entered Weston and encamped beside the Forty-seventh Ohio, with the fortunes of which it was afterward closely allied.  Here the regiment received its camp and garrison equipage.  Two wagons were furnished each company, and these were deemed barely sufficient for transportation.  In later years the men considered themselves fortunate if there was one wagon for the regiment.  September 6th the regiment joined General Rosecrans at Sutton Heights, where companies D, F. and G remained, the remainder of the regiment marching with the army toward Summerville.  Companies C and E were left at Big Birch Bottoms, while the remaining five companies moved on to Carnifax Ferry, where a sharp engagement took place, the enemy retreating.  A considerable amount of camp equipage, and some huge double-edged knives, with

Louisville, Kentucky, Jan. 3, 1863.  It moved down the stream until it reached Helena, Arkansas, where it was assigned to the Second division of the Fifteenth army corps.  January 21st, the regiment landed at Young's Point, and here it remained, engaged on the canal, and took part in numerous excursions into the surrounding country.  Resuming the march, the regiment, on May 19th, arrived in the rear of Vicksburg, and from this time until its final capitulation, was engaged in skirmish, picket and fatigue duty.  After the surrender of Vicksburg, the regiment went to camp, July 23rd, near Black river.  The losses of the Thirtieth, during the siege, were some sixty killed and wounded.
     Leaving Black river, with the army, on September 26th, it moved up the river, to Memphis, where it arrived October 2d.  Two days later it resumed the march, and on November 20th it camped at Brown's Ferry, ten miles from Chattanooga.  The twenty-fifth of the same month, it assaulted and carried the outer line of the enemy's works at Mission Ridge.  From November 29th to December 19th, the regiment subsisted off the country, and were engaged nearly the entire time in pursuit of the enemy.  In addition, nearly one-fourth of the men were without shoes.  In January, 1864, at Cleveland, Tennessee, the regiment re-enlisted, to the number of three hundred and fifteen men, and repaired to Columbus, where it was furloughed on the ninth of April.  On the expiration of the furlough, the regiment re-formed at Columbus, and proceeded, via Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville and Chattanooga, to Kingston, Georgia, where it arrived May 20th.  Three days later, the regiment was again on the march.  It moved through Dallas and Ackworth, arriving at the foot of Kennesaw mountain June 19th.  During this march the regiment was almost continually under fire.  Early in July, the regiment moved to Atlanta, and on the twenty-second was in the assault, losing twenty-seven in killed, wounded and prisoners.  On the twenty-eighth, the regiment sustained four successive charges, in which it lost thirty men in killed and wounded.  The enemy abandoned a stand of colors, under the regiment's fire, and one hundred and five dead rebels were picked up in its immediate front.  Aug .28, 1864, picked up in its immediate front.  Aug. 29, 1864, those who were not veterans were mustered out, by reason of expiration fo term of service, and from this time until Aug. 13, 1865, at Louisville, Kentucky, the regiment was actively engaged in the defence of the starry ensign.
     Aug. 22, 1865, it was paid and discharged at Columbus, having traveled as a regiment, during its term of service, thirteen thousand, two hundred miles.

FORTY-SIXTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER

     This regiment was recruited at Worthington, Franklin county, in the month of September, and was organized on Oct. 16, 1861.  On Feb. 22, 1862, it reported at Paducah, Kentucky, with an aggregate of nine hundred and seventy-five men, and was brigaded with the Sixth Iowa and the Fortieth Illinois, in General Sherman's division.
    On March 8th the regiment arrived at Savannah, and was engaged during the entire battle of Pittsburg Landing.  Its loss was two hundred and eighty killed and wounded, and fifteen captured.  The dead were conveyed to a spot a little to the south of the summit of the ridge overlooking Owl creek, immediately in front of the first line of battle, and near the Purdy road, and there interred in single graves, with the honors of war.  April 27th, the regiment moved, with the army, upon Corinth.  In November the regiment started on a campaign through Mississippi, under General Grant, but was obliged to return.  Early in June the regiment joined in the siege of Vicksburg, and, after the surrender, moved in the direction of Jackson.  October 10th, the regiment, with the Fifteenth corps, embarked for Memphis, and from there marched to the relief of Chattanooga.  At the battle of Mission Ridge, the regiment was heavily engaged, and lost many in killed and wounded.  Soon after, it marched to Knoxville, and from there to Scottsboro', Alabama, where it arrived Dec. 31, 1863, having marched over five hundred miles in about two months, exposed to inclement weather, without tents, and almost without food and clothing.  Here the regiment was armed with Spencer's repeating rifled muskets; and here, too, it re-enlisted as veterans.   It was furloughed on Mar. 30, 1864, and, after an absence of thirty-eight days, it returned to its camp at Scottsboro'.  On may 1st the regiment moved, by way of Chattanooga, to Resaca, where it was engaged on the 13th, 14th and 15th, with but small loss.  From here the march was resumed to Dallas.  In the engagements at this point the Spencer rifles caused such havoc, that ever after the Forty-sixth was known and dreaded throughout the opposing army.
     Next the regiment participated in the battle of New Hope Church.  The command gained a position within eighty yards of the enemy.  Their fire was harassing the brigade greatly and Colonel Walcutt, commanding, determined to gain the rebel line without loss.  He arranged the brigade as for a charge, with flags flying, and all the buglers in the line.  His men, who were well covered, were directed to bring their guns to bear along the enemy's parapet; when the bugles sounded to forward, the enemy raised, as had been expected, to repel the anticipated assault, but received, instead, a severe fire.  The result was, the enemy abandoned the works in confusion,

and, during the night, withdrew.  June 6th, the brigade passed through Ackworth, and went into bivouac until the ninth, when it went on a reconnaissance to Kenesaw, where it joined its division.   June 15th, the forty-sixth, with its brigade, supported by the two brigades of the division, was ordered to charge a line on a ridge some half a mile distance.   This was done in gallant style.  Twenty-two officers, four hundred men and six hundred stand of
small arms were captured, and many of the enemy were killed and wounded.  On the twenty-sixth, Walcutt's, and two brigades from General Smith’s division, were detailed as a storming party.  The Forty-sixth was in the advance of the movement.   The heavy abalis of the enemy’s main works was too cumbersome, and, after repeated and determined efforts, our men were obliged to withdraw.  In this assault the Forty-sixth captured sixty prisoners, but its own loss, in killed and wounded was severe.  After the evacuation of Kenesaw, the regiment moved for Atlanta, and, on the evening of the twentieth, went into line in front of the city.  Here it did gallant service.  At Ezra Church the regiment was again engaged, capturing the colors of the Thirtieth Louisiana, with its colonel.  Ten officers and fully one-half of the men of the rebel regiment were killed.  The flag, which was a present from the ladies of New Orleans to the regiment, was presented by General Logan to its immediate captor, Harry Davis, and was contributed by him to the State of Ohio.  It is now in the relic room of the State House, at Columbus.
     August 3d the Forty-sixth, with details from other regiments, was ordered to drive in, or capture, the enemy’s outposts.  The contest was severe, and resulted in the capture of about one hundred prisoners.  At Jonesboro’ the regiment charged the enemy’s line, on the twenty-eighth, capturing four officers and fifty men.  On the second of September the regiment captured the enemy's fortified skirmish line.  At Lovejoy‘s station, the regiment had a hand to hand conflict, in which the enemy was forced to retire, with a loss of about fifty prisoners. Next, the regiment moved against Hood, in northern Georgia and Alabama, after which it retired to the vicinity of Atlanta, where it arrived on November 5th.  The regiment was at Raleigh when the news of the surrender of Lee‘s army was received.  It participated in the grand review at Washington, and was' mustered out July 22, 1865.
