notes.--Organized at
Columbus, August 28, 1861, and ordered immediately to
West Virginia, where it remained for one year, during which it was stationed at various points and engaged in several minor affairs with the enemy.
In August, 1862, it was ordered to join the army in
eastern Virginia, and, passing through
Washington, it then joined
Pope's Army, at Warrenton Junction.
The regiment was in reserve at
Manassas, sustaining no loss though under a heavy artillery fire.
It marched with
General McClellan's Army through
Maryland; it was then in
Scammon's Brigade, of
Cox's Kanawha Division, this division being then temporarily attached to the Ninth Corps.
The regiment lost, at
South Mountain, 7 killed, and 53 wounded; at
Antietam, 13 killed, 49 wounded, and 18 missing,--both color-sergeants being among the killed.
The regiment was hotly engaged in both these actions, the fighting at times becoming very close and deadly, bayonets and clubbed muskets being freely used.
The Kanawha Division returned to
West Virginia soon after the
battle of Antietam, and in December, 1862, the regiment moved by transports down the
Ohio and
Mississippi Rivers to
Helena, Ark., where it was assigned to
Ewing's (3d) Brigade,
Blair's (2d) Division, Fifteenth Corps, in which command it was present at the
siege of Vicksburg.
In the assault on
Vicksburg, May 22, 1863, the regiment lost 6 killed, 43 wounded, and 2 missing. In November, 1863, the division--
General Morgan L. Smith commanding — moved to
Chattanooga, where it fought at
Missionary Ridge.
In 1864, the Thirtieth fought in the
Atlanta campaign, and then marched with
Sherman to the
Sea.
