NOTES. —Organized in May, 1861, as a three months regiment, serving in West Virginia, where it participated in the actions of Phillippi, and Carrick's Ford. Upon the expiration of its three months term, it returned to Columbus, O., where it volunteered for three years, leaving the State on October 4th. Proceeding to Kentucky, it was assigned, soon after, to McCook's Division of Knell's Army, with which it marched to the battlefield of Shiloh, where it lost 7 killed, 66 wounded, and 2 missing. It was present at the Siege of Corinth, and participated in the long marches in the summer and fall of 1862, its next battle occurring at Stone's River, at which time it was in Willich's (ist) Brigade, Johnson's (zd) Division, McCook's Corps; loss, 17 killed, 70 wounded, and 128 captured or missing. After this battle the regiment lay at Murfreesboro until June, 1863, when it joined in the forward movement of the Army, and was engaged at Liberty Gap, losing there 8 killed, and 24 wounded. At Chickamauga, it lost 10 killed, 77 wounded, and 33 missing. About 350 of the men reenlisted in January, 1864, and received a veteran furlough, returning with a large number of recruits, which swelled the ranks to over 900 effectives. In October, 1863, the regiment was assigned to Willich's (ist) Brigade, Wood's (31!) Division, Fourth Corps. While on the Atlanta campaign, this brigade (Gibson's) was hotly engaged at Pickctt's Mills, Ga., the regiment losing there 19 killed, 64 wounded, and 19 missing, many of the latter l>eing killed or wounded. The Fifteenth took part in the Franklin-Nashville campaign, after which it accompanied the Fourth Corps to Texas, where it was mustered out in December, 1865.
