FORTY-EIGHTH OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

The regiment was organized at Camp Dennison, Feb. 17, 1862, and shortly after reported to Gen. W. T. Sherman at Paducah, but soon passed on to Pittsburg Landing, disembarking there on the 19th of March. It participated in the battles there, losing about one-third of its members. It was among the first to enter the rebel works at Corinth; was with Sherman up the Arkansas River. At Vicksburg and at Jackson if performed a prominent part. The Forty-eighth, now a mere remnant, was captured at Sabine Cross-Roads, and was not exchanged until October, 1864. Afterwards most of the men re-enlisted, and the regiment shared in the capture of Mobile, and at the close of the war was in Texas. It was mustered out of the service in May, 1866.
