notes.--The Eighty-second lost the most officers in battle of any
Ohio regiment.
It was recruited at
Kenton in the fall of 1861, leaving the
State January 25, 1862, and proceeding to
West Virginia, where it was assigned, in March, to
Schenck's Brigade.
It was engaged, May 8th, at
McDowell, Va., with a loss of 6 killed, 50 wounded, and 1 missing. It fought at
Manassas in
Milroy's Independent Brigade, of
Sigel's Corps, losing 24 killed, 99 wounded, and 15 missing;
Colonel Cantwell was killed in this action, falling from his horse while directing the movements of his regiment in a change of front under fire.
The regiment having been assigned soon after to the Eleventh Corps, remained encamped in
Virginia during the next eight months, making its winter-quarters near
Stafford.
At
Chancellorsville, it fought in
Krzyzanowski's (2d) Brigade,
Schurz's (3d) Division, Eleventh Corps, losing 8 killed,--including four officers,--48 wounded, and 25 missing. It lost at
Gettysburg, 17 killed,--including six officers,--85 wounded, and 79 missing, out of 312 present in action.
The regiment accompanied the Eleventh Corps to
Tennessee, where it participated in the
Chattanooga campaign,--then in
Tyndale's Brigade,--and in the hardships of the subsequent march to the relief of
Knoxville.
In April, 1864, it was transferred to
Robinson's (3d) Brigade,
Williams's (1st) Division, Twentieth Corps, in which command it fought through the
Atlanta campaign and in the Carolinas.
It encountered hard fighting in the former, at New Hope Church, and at
Peach Tree Creek.
After the fall of
Atlanta it marched with
Sherman to the sea, and through the Carolinas.
