notes.--Recruited at
Worthington, Ohio, in September, 1861.
It left Camp Chase, February 18, 1862, and proceeded to
Paducah, Ky., where it was assigned to
Sherman's Division.
In March it embarked for
Pittsburg Landing, encamping there until the
battle of Shiloh, in which it lost 37 killed, 185 wounded, and 24 missing; total, 246.
After taking part in the siege of
Corinth the regiment spent the ensuing twelve months of 1862-63 in doing guard duty along the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, and on provost duty in
Memphis; in the spring of 1863, it served a while as mounted infantry on scouting expeditions.
On June 12th, 1863, the Forty-sixth moved to
Vicksburg, where its division assisted in the siege operations of that time, the regiment being then in
Hicks's Brigade,
W. S. Smith's Division, Sixteenth Corps.
In October, 1863, this division embarked for
Memphis where it was transferred to the Fifteenth Corps, with which it moved soon after to
Chattanooga where it fought at
Missionary Ridge, and then marched to the relief of
Knoxville, the latter campaign being one unparalleled for its privations and hardships.
While in winter-quarters at
Scottsboro, Ala., the regiment was armed with Spencer Repeating Rifles, which proved very effective in the ensuing
Atlanta campaign.
In that campaign the Forty-sixth was in
Walcutt's (2d) Brigade,
Harrow's (4th) Division, Fifteenth Corps.
Major Ilenry H. Giesy was killed at
Dallas.
Having reenlisted, the regiment remained in service throughout the war, accompanying
Sherman's Army as it “went marching through
Georgia” and across the Carolinas to
Virginia.
