Regimental History
OHIO
NINTH CAVALRY
(Three Years)

Ninth Cavalry. - Col., William D. Hamilton; Lieut.-Cols.,
Thomas P. Cook, William Stough; Majs., William Sims, John Wil-
liamson, Henry Plessner, Elijah Hogue, Lewis H. Bowlus, John W.
Macumber, James Irvine. This regiment was organized in 1863,
to serve three years. Cos. A, B, C and D were mustered in at
Camp Zanesville, in January and the other eight companies at
Camp Dennison in September, October and December. The regiment
was finally completed and united in Alabama in the spring of
1864. In April an Alabama regiment surrounded a barn at Flor-
ence, in which the men of Co. G were sleeping, shot 2 of the
sentinels, and after a short struggle succeeded in capturing 41
men of the company. Of the 2,500 men chosen to take part in
Rousseau's raid in Alabama and Georgia, 700 were from the 9th
Ohio cavalry and the regiment lost during the expedition 26
men, most of whom were captured while foraging. It was identi-
fied with Gen. Sherman's cavalry division on the march to the
coast, in which skirmishing continued more or less until the
general engagement took place at Waynesboro, in which the regi-
ment made the second charge and broke the Confederate lines.
At Aiken, S. C., it was engaged and assisted in driving the
Confederates beyond their lines. The regiment was engaged in
the battle of Monroe's cross-roads and in the battle of Averas-
boro it supported the right flank of the 20th corps, becoming
hotly engaged. It fought at Bentonville the last battle of the
campaign, and skirmished a little at Raleigh before entering
the capital. The regiment was mustered out on July 20, 1865,
at Lexington, N. C.
