Organized in the fall of 1862, the 125th Ohio Volunteer Infantry
was commanded by the aggressive and ambitious Colonel Emerson
Opdycke, a citizen-soldier with no military experience who rose
from lieutenant to brevet major general. Part of the Army of the
Cumberland, the 125th first saw combat at Chickamauga. Charging
into Dyer's cornfield to blunt a rebel breakthrough, the
outnumbered Buckeyes pressed forward and, despite heavy casualties,
drove the enemy back, buying time for the fractured Union army to
rally. Impressed by the heroic charge by an untested regiment,
Union General Thomas Wood labeled them "Opdycke's Tigers." After
losing a third of their number at Chickamauga, the 125th fought
engagements across Tennessee and Georgia during 1864, and took part
in the decisive battles at Franklin and Nashville. Drawing on both
primary sources and recent scholarship, this is the first
full-length history of the regiment in more than 120 years.
