Regimental History
OHIO
NINETY-FIRST INFANTRY
(Three Years)

Ninety-first Infantry. - Cols., John A. Turley, Benjamin
F. Coates; Lieut.-Col., Lemuel C. Cadot; Majs., John R. Bless-
ing, Samuel F. Neal. This regiment was organized at Camp Iron-
ton, Sept. 7, 1862, to serve for three years. It was first
sent to Guyandotte, Va. to watch the Confederate Jenkins, and
then was ordered to Maysville, Ky., but before reaching the
place was sent back to Virginia and started on its first raid
up the Kanawha, on which a Confederate camp at Buffalo was cap-
tured with all its contents, except the occupants, who made
good their escape. The regiment spent the winter at Fayette-
ville and in the following May participated in the attack on
and pursuit of the Confederates, marching 20 miles and driving
the enemy from that part of the country. It also spent its
second winter at Fayetteville and in May, 1864, fought the bat-
tles of Cloyd's mountain and New River bridge. It then par-
ticipated in Hunter's disastrous campaign against Lynchburg and
bore an honorable part in the engagement at the latter place.
In the brilliant affair at Stephenson's depot, near Winchester,
in July, the regiment also played a conspicuous part, capturing
2 brass field-pieces. It was in the battle of the Opequan and
there headed a charge which lifted the Confederates completely
out of their position with the naked bayonet. The regiment
lost more in killed and wounded in this battle than in any it
was ever engaged. It participated in the remainder of the val-
ley operations then spent the winter at Martinsburg, and was
mustered out of service on June 24, 1865.
