Riding into battle with the Union Cavalry
This is a rare, valuable and invaluable book in every way.
Difficult to find on the antiquarian book market, it has been
published by Leonaur to enable today's students and enthusiasts of
the history of the American Civil War to access its text at a
reasonable price. Encapsulated within the pages of this very
substantial volume is the story of the First Ohio Volunteer Cavalry
Regiment. It is, of course, a regimental history, but it is also
much more than that. In common with many regiments of the Civil
War, this regiment had an active 'old comrades' association and it
was this organisation which determined that the history be written
under the guidance of the principal author who was also a serving
officer with the regiment throughout most of the events recounted.
What makes this book particularly special is the inclusion of many
additional, often riveting accounts penned by those who experienced
them in their entirety, covering specific actions or aspects of
life on campaign. Naturally, this book is essential for all those
interested in the American Civil War, the Union Army and its
cavalry arm and those interested in the genealogy of the State of
Ohio since many roles of serving soldiers are also included.
Jerome Township, an area slightly northwest of Columbus, was
organized in 1821 and comprised the villages of Plain City, Jerome,
New California and Arnold. A brief history of the township is given
here, but the greater part of the book is made up of regimental
histories and rosters from the American Revolution, War of 1812,
Mexican War, Civil War, and Spanish-American War. More than forty
Civil War regimental histories are given. The rosters include not
only regular infantry and cavalry regiments, but also
sharpshooters, colored troops, artillery, navy, and the "Squirrel
Hunters," or minute-man militia. These rosters, listed by company
and regiment, give name, date of enlistment, and date and cause of
death if known. Numerous portraits, mostly military, are
interspersed throughout the work. There is a list of soldiers
buried in Jerome Township, and a list of soldiers who died in the
army. An account of Kilpatrick's 1864 raid on Atlanta is also
contained in this work.
