notes.--Organized in May, 1861, as a three months regiment, serving in
West Virginia, where it participated in the actions of
Phillippi, and Carrick's Ford.
Upon the expiration of its three months term, it returned to
Columbus, O., where it volunteered for three years, leaving the
State on October 4th.
Proceeding to
Kentucky, it was assigned, soon after, to
McCook's Division of
Buell's Army, with which it marched to the battlefield of
Shiloh, where it lost 7 killed, 66 wounded, and 2 missing. It was present at the Siege of
Corinth, and participated in the long marches in the
summer and
fall of 1862, its next battle occurring at
Stone's River, at which time it was in
Willich's (1st) Brigade,
Johnson's (2d) Division,
McCook's Corps; loss, 17 killed, 70 wounded, and 128 captured or missing. After this battle the regiment lay at
Murfreesboro until June, 1863, when it joined in the forward movement of the Army, and was engaged at Liberty Gap, losing there 8 killed, and 24 wounded. At
Chickamauga, it lost 10 killed, 77 wounded, and 33 missing. About 350 of the men reenlisted in January, 1864, and received a veteran furlough, returning with a large number of recruits, which swelled the ranks to over 900 effectives.
In October, 1863, the regiment was assigned to
Willich's (1st) Brigade,
Wood's (3d) Division, Fourth Corps.
While on the
Atlanta campaign, this brigade (
Gibson's) was hotly engaged at Pickett's Mills, Ga., the regiment losing there 19 killed, 64 wounded, and 19 missing, many of the latter being killed or wounded.
The Fifteenth took part in the
Franklin-Nashville campaign, after which it accompanied the Fourth Corps to
Texas, where it was mustered out in December, 1865.
