notes.--The Ninth went out at first in the three months service, but upon its return re-organized under a three years enlistment.
Leaving
Indiana in September, 1861, it proceeded to
West Virginia, where it remained on duty until February, 1862, fighting in the meanwhile at the battles of
Green Brier and Camp Allegheny; in the latter engagement there was some sharp fighting in which the Ninth lost 8 killed, and 13 wounded. In February, 1862, it was ordered to join
Buell's Army, where it was assigned to
Hazen's Brigade of
Nelson's Division, with which it marched to
Shiloh; its losses in that battle were 17 killed and 153 wounded. The year 1862 was one of arduous campaigns and long marches, ending, with the year, in
Rosecrans's hard-fought
battle of Stone's River.
The regiment was then in Paimer's (2d) Division, of
Crittenden's Corps, its casualties on that field amounting to 11 killed, 87 wounded, and 11 missing. At
Chickamauga, it lost 13 killed, 91 wounded, and 22 missing. In October, 1863, the regiment was assigned to
Grose's (3d) Brigade,
Palmer's (1st) Division, Fourth Corps.
During the
Atlanta campaign this division was commanded by
General Stanlev, and by
General Kimball in the
Franklin-Nashville campaign.
The regiment reenlisted in December, 1863, and thus preserved its organization during the war. After the victory over
Hood, at
Nashville, December 15, 1864, it marched into
East Tennessee; from there it moved to
Texas, where it remained with the Army of Occupation until September, 1865, when it was mustered out and returned home.
