EIGHTY-SIXTH OHIO INFANTRY
The regiment was
recruited originally for the three months' service, and then
reorganized for six months' service. The former
organization was effected in May 1862, under a special call to
repel Jackson, who had defeated Banks, and was threatening to
invade the North. It did guard duty at Grafton, Virginia,
Parkersburgh, and other points, and moved to Beverly and
elsewhere to repel an enemy which did not exist. The
regiment was mustered out at Camp Delaware, at the expiration of
its term.
The six months' regiment was raised by a number of
officers of the old organization, headed by Major (afterwards
Colonel) Lemert, of Bucyrus. It was moved to Zanesville,
to join in the pursuit of Morgan, then on his raid through Ohio,
but was too late to be of much service. Returning to Camp
Tod, it was in August ordered to Kentucky, as a part of the
expedition against Cumberland Gap, which was taken by the
Federal forces. The Eighty-sixth took possession of and
"held the fort," remaining there as a garrison, subsisting
scantily off the country, and skirmishing often with guerillas,
until its term of service was over, when it returned to Ohio and
was mustered out at Cleveland February 10, 1863.
