THIRTY-FIFTH OHIO INFANTRY

     The Thirty-fifth Ohio was organized at Hamilton in August and September of 1861.  Its member were mainly young and intelligent men.  At the beginning it numbered, all told, less than nine hundred men.  The Thirty-fifth participated in some of the skirmishes during the siege of Corinth, and was among the first to enter the works at that place.  Shortly after commenced the race between Buell and Bragg, the goal being Louisville.  In the movement on Bragg, the fight at Perryville, and the pursuit to Crab Orchard, they bore an honorable part.  All through the campaign which began at Murfreesborough and closed at Chattanooga, this regiment was in the front of the marching and fighting.  In July of 1863, Major Boynton was promoted to fill the place of colonel, left vacant by resignation, and from this time the regiment was under Colonel Boynton's command when he was able for duty.  In the two days' fight at Chickamauga, the Thirty-fifth loss just fifty per cent of those engaged.  Scarcely one was taken by the enemy - they were killed or wounded.  Colonel Boynton was conspicuous during the whole fight for his gallantry and skill, and the regiment was highly commended in the reports of that action.  During the autumn of 1863, the Thirty-fifth lay with other regiments at Chattanooga and engaged in frequent skirmishes before that place.  They were on the front line at Mission Ridge.  In February, 1864, this regiment was in the first battle of the Atlanta campaign, at Buzzard's Roost.  It was with Sherman from the initiation of his Atlanta campaign till the expiration of its term of service, while lying before Atlanta.  They were engaged at Dalton, Rasaca, Pine Mountain, Kenesaw, Peachtree Creek, and in several other of the fights of that bloody contest.  The mustering out occurred in August, 1864, at Chattanooga.  During the three years of service, its gallant men could say that they had never been driven from a field.
