48th Regiment, Ohio Infantry
Company H - (Clinton, Delaware and Highland Counties)
Recruited from southwestern Ohio in the Fall of 1861, the regiment was organized at Camp Dennison in October. The following April, as part of General Sherman's division, they found themselves at the very heart of the Confederate surprise attack at Shiloh, TN, only 30 days after having been issued their rifles. They participated in the siege of Corinth, the capture of Arkansas Post, and the subsequent Vicksburg Campaign, seeing considerable action during the siege of that city. In April of 1864, while a part of Gen. Banks' Red River expedition, the entire regiment was captured after intense fighting at the Battle of Sabine Crossroads (Mansfield, LA) and imprisoned at Camp Ford, near Tyler, Texas. The 48th was captured at Sabine Cross Roads, and exchanged in October, 1864. Re-enlisting after its exchange, it shared in the Capture of Mobile, and, after the surrender of the rebel army, operated in Texas until May, 1866, when it was mustered out of service.
