TWENTIETH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEERS
INFANTRY.
The Twentieth Ohio was
recruited for three months in May, 1861, and reorganized at
Camp King, Kentucky, Oct., 21, 1861. The commanding
officer was Col. Charles Whittlesey, of Ohio, who was a
graduate of West Point, and had won great distinction as an
engineer and geologist in the Superior region. During
the winter of 1861 - 62 the regiment guarded several batteries
in the rear of Covington and Newport, Ky., and at one time
four companies were sent to quell and insurrection in the
region of Warsaw.
On Feb. 11, 1862, the regiment embarked on the steamers
Emma Duncan and Doctor Kane for the Cumberland River. It
reached Fort Donelson on the 14th of Feb., and went under fire
the next day. It marched to the extreme right and went
into a reserve position. After the battle the regiment
was ent north in charge of prisoners, and so became greatly
scattered. Soon afterward seven companies were brought
together and went up the Tennessee on the expedition to Yellow
Creek, on the steamer Continental, on which General Sherman
had headquarters.
On the 6th of April, while on inspection at Adamsville,
the regiment heard the guns at Pittsburg Landing, and at 3
p.m. marched to the field and went into position on the right
of the army. It participated in the fight of the next
day and is entitled to share in the glory of that victory.
During the engagement it was under command of
Lieutenant-Colonel Force, Colonel Whittlesey being in command
of a brigade. During the advance on the Corinth the
regiment remained on duty at Pittsburg Landing. After
the fall of Corinth the regiment went to Purdy, where it
joined its division, marched to Bolivar, and became a part of
that garrison of June 6, 1862.
On August 30, 1862, the Rebel General Armstrong, with
fifteen regiments on an expedition northward, was held in
check a whole day by the Twentieth Ohio, a portion of the
Seventy-eighth Ohio, and two companies of the Second Illinois
Cavalry. Late in the afternoon two companies G & K, of
this regiment were captured by the cavalry charge, but not
until they had repulsed two charges. For their courage
on this occasion the officers and troops were highly
commended. The regiment next assisted in driving Price
from Iuka on the 20th of September. On Nov. 28th it
marched south from Lagrange in the Second Brigade of Logan's
Division, and on the 4th of Dec. 3ntered Oxford, Miss.
About this time the Seventeenth Army Corps was
organized, and Logan's Division became the Third of the corps.
By slow marches the Twentieth reached Memphis on January 28
1863, and was reinforced by two hundred men. On Feb. 22
the regiment moved down the Mississippi on the steamer
Louisiana, landed at Lake Providence, and a few weeks later
marched to the relief of Porter's fleet, blockaded in Steele's
Bayou, and after three days in the swamps, returned to camp.
On May 12 the Twentieth deployed in advance of the corps
toward Raymond, Mississippi, and while resting with stacked
arms, was fired upon from a thicket beyond a stream. The
regiment at once formed and advanced, using the opposite bank
of the stream as a breastwork. A severe struggle ensued for an
hour, during which the Twentieth was exposed to a cross-fire.
Every man stood, firm until the Rebels were compelled to
yield. The regiment lost twelve killed and fifty-two wounded.
Private Canavan, of Company E, was promoted to a
sergeantcy on the field for skilful management of the company
after the other officers and sergeants were disabled.
Captain Wilson was decorated with the Seventeenth
Corps Medal of Honor for gallantry in assembling his
skirmishers under the very muzzles of the enemy's guns during
the first charge. Lieutenant Weatherby, of
Company A, being on the extreme right of the skirmish line
with his company, and being cut off from his regiment,
assembled his company, and reported to the colonel of the
nearest regiment-—the Eighty-first Illinois—and fought as a
part of that regiment. The Eighty-first showed their
appreciation of its services by giving three hearty cheers for
the "Twentieth Ohio Boys." Again the regiment moved from point
to point and engaged from time to time in skirmishes, until we
find it in the rear of Vicksburg, where it acted as support to
an assaulting party on May 21. Here it continued at work until
May 29, when with a brigade it withdrew from line and went on
an expedition to the Yazoo Valley. On the 4th of June it had
returned and was in reserve at Vicksburg. On the 26th of June
the regiment withdrew to Tiffin with the Second Brigade to
watch the movements of Johnston. After the fall of Vicksburg
the regiment camped at Bovina Station, but was soon ordered to
join Sherman's army then besieging Jackson.
In January, 1864, two-thirds of the men re-enlisted,
and on the 8th of February the regiment crossed Big Black and
joined the Meridian expedition. Arriving at Meridian, the
regiment assisted in destroying railroads and then marched to
Chunkey Creek. The regiment afterward went north on furlough,
and after thirty days rendezvoused at Camp Dennison on the 1st
of May, and proceeded to Cairo, and from there by steamer to
Clifton, Tenn. From here it marched, via Pulaski, Huntsville,
Decatur, and Rome, to Acworth, where it joined General
Sherman on the 9th of June after a march of two hundred
and fifty miles. After some skirmishes, the regiment appeared
before the Rebel works at Atlanta on the 20th of July. The
regiment took position in the advanced line on the 21st, and
on the next day firing was heard to its rear. It formed in the
works, the Rebels advanced, and the men leaped the parapet and
faced the enemy. The Rebels pressed around the regiment and
bullets came from front, flank, and rear. The Twentieth
delivered their fire wherever the strength of the Rebels
appeared until cartridges became scarce, when portions of
Companies A, F, and D risked life and obtained, in the face of
the enemy, five cases of ammunition. Even this was
insufficient, and the ammunition of the wounded and dead was
distributed, and charges made to capture Rebels for the sake
of their cartridges. The batteries in Atlanta threw shell upon
the rear of the brigade, the enemy redoubled the fire in
front, and placing a captured gun within fifty paces of the
flank of the Twentieth, raked the regiment with canister.
Orders came to retire, and the men withdrew to form a new
line, firing their last cartridge as they withdrew. In the new
line the Twentieth was placed in reserve except a detachment
of one hundred men who were posted in the works on Force's
Hill, and fought desperately until the close of the battle. In
this engagement the Twentieth lost forty-four men killed,
fifty-six wounded, and fifty-four missing. Many instances of
personal daring were mentioned, among which were Lieutenant
Nutt, of Company F; Skillen, of Company G; Privates
Crabbe and
Casey of Company C; Elder, of Company G; and Speker and
Stevenson of Company F, especially distinguished themselves.
The regiment changed about until the 24th of August,
when it received orders to march as guard to the supply trains
of the Army of' the Tennessee. Four days later it joined its
brigade at Fairburn and assisted in destroying railroads. It
went into battle at Jonesboro' on the 31st, and as "refused
flank" was exposed to a heavy artillery fire. It then went to
Lovejoy's Station, but a few days later went into camp near
Atlanta. On the 5th of October it engaged in the pursuit of
Hood and at Galesburg turned back, and on November 5th again
went into camp near Atlanta. It left Atlanta with Sherman's
army November 15 for Savannah, participated in the destruction
of Millan, Ga., and reaching Savannah, went into position on
the right of the Seventeenth Corps. On. December 19th it .was
detached and sent to Ogeechee, where it engaged in building
wharves for the landing of supplies. The work was ended by the
surrender of Savannah and the regiment rejoined the brigade
December 24th in camp at the outskirts of the city.
On January 5, 1865, the regiment embarked on the
steamer Fanny and proceeded to Beaufort, S. C, crossed Port
Royal Ferry, and advanced until the enemy was found entrenched
beyond a rice swamp. The Twentieth deployed as skirmishers,
charged the enemy's works in splendid style, and the
regimental colors were soon waving from the parapet. At dark
the troops encamped before the fortifications of Pocotaligo,
and on the morning of the 13th of January the regiment was
assigned camping ground beyond the railroad station of
Pocotaligo, and remained there until the 30th, when it joined
the Carolina campaign. The head of the column struck the enemy
on February 3d near the north Edisto bridge at Orangeburg, and
two companies of the Twentieth were deployed as skirmishers.
Soon the regiment advanced at double quick and drove the enemy
back to their fortifications, from which they opened fire.
The regiment deployed as skirmishers, advanced through an ice
cold and waist-deep swamp, opened fire on the enemy and held
the position until relieved m the evening. The next day the
river was crossed and the railroad destroyed. Reached Columbia
the night of its destruction, and the next morning marched
through its smoking ruins and destroyed the railroad as far as
Winnsboro'. On the 24th was left in rear of the whole army to
guard the pontoon train, and after a hard march entered Cheraw
March 3d and Bennettsville on the 6th. On the 20th of March
Bentonville was reached, and on the 24th the regiment entered
Goldsboro. Two weeks later the regiment pushed to Raleigh, and
on the 15th of April moved toward Johnston's army. It
became known that Johnston had asked terms of
surrender, the men went into ecstasies of joy, and even stood
on their heads in the mud as they contemplated the final scene
of the war. Leaving Raleigh on the 1st of May the regiment
marched via Richmond to Washington, participated in the grand
review, May 24th, was sent to Louisville, Ky., and on the 18th
of July returned to Columbus and was mustered out of the
service.
The whole history of this regiment is creditable to the
men, to the officers, and to the nation. |
