| | | | Creator: | United States Army, 1st Ohio Light Artillery Regiment | | | | Dates: | 1861-1864 | | | | Abstract: | The 1st Ohio Light Artillery Regiment was formed under the Militia Law of 1860. The regiment consisted of six companies with one gun each. It was sent to Camp McClellan, at Marietta, at the outbreak of the American Civil War and split up. Two companies saw action at Philippi while four were sent to Grafton. They rejoined for the battle at Laurel Hill and mustered out of state service on July 26, 1861. The full regiment entered United States service on September 3, 1861 at Camp Dennison, where it was organized into twelve light batteries. As each battery was filled and equipped it was sent separately into the field, resulting in 12 individual battery histories. The collection consists of extracts from reports on the activities of the entire regiment and a brief history and roster of officers of Battery "E". | | | | Call #: | MS 3965 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | United States.
