NOTES —The Forty-ninth sustained the greatest loss in battle of any Ohio regiment. It was organized at Tiffin, in September, 1861, and proceeded immediately to Louisville, the first completely organized regiment to arrive in Kentucky. It was assigned to Johnson's Brigade, of McCook's Division. It went into winter-quarters at Munfordville, and in March, 1862, moved with its division to rei'-nforce Grant, at Pittsburg Landing, where it arrived in time to take part in the battle of Shiloh. The regiment lost in that action 6 killed, and 34 wounded ; Colonel Gibson was in command of the brigade. After accompanying BuelFs Army to Corinth, to Alabama, then back through Tennessee, and on the Perryville campaign, the regiment fought next at Stone's River, it being then in Willich's (ist) Brigade, Johnson's (2d) Division, McCook's Corps; its loss in that battle was 20 killed, 94 wounded, and 108 captured or missing. General Willich having been captured in the early part of this engagement, Colonel Gibson again led the brigade ; Lieutenant-Colonel Levi H. Drake was killed while leading the regiment and gallantly cheering on his men. At Chickamauga, the regiment lost 10 killed, 59 wounded, and 30 missing. Having rei ; nlisted, the Forty-ninth served in the Atlanta campaign,— in Gibson's (ist) Brigade, Wood's (3d) Division, Fourth Corps, in which command it fought at the bloody battle of Pickett's Mills, May 27, 1864, sustaining the heaviest loss in that action, its casualties amounting to 52 killed, 147 wounded, and 4 missing; total, 203. After fighting under Thomas at Nashville, the Fourth Corps was ordered to Texas, where the regiment remained until December, 1865, when it was mustered out. _09387
