This regiment was composed of seven companies of the Legion and three of minute men, Henry county furnishing two, Randolph two, and one each from Union, Putnam, Hancock, Wayne, Clinton and Madison counties. The regiment was organized July 12, 1863, and left at once for Lawrenceburg. It disembarked at Morris station, marched the following morning for Sunman's station and then to Van Wedden's station, where the raiders had been, and then pursued Morgan's forces to near Harrison, Ohio. A report that Morgan was returning to capture Lawrenceburg brought the regiment out to check him, and while getting into position, an indiscriminate firing took place among the men, resulting in 5 being killed and 18 wounded. The regiment was mustered out at Indianapolis, July 18, 1863. Footnotes: Regimental history taken from "The Union Army" by Federal Publishing Company, 1908 - Volume 3 |
