THE 25TH OHIO VET. VOL. INFANTRY IN THE WAR FOR THE UNION
By Edward C. Culp
Late Lieut. Colonel 25th Ohio, and Brevet Colonel United States Volunteers
Topeka, Kansas: Geo. W. Crane & Co., Printers and Binders 1885
PREFACE
The matter contained in the following pages was prepared while we were yet in the field, upon the days immediately following our marches and battles, while in camp or bivouac, or during the long season of rest upon Folly and Hilton Head Islands.
I have revised it twice since the war, but still feel as if I was giving a very unsatisfactory history of the gallant old Regiment, and regret that its preparation has not fallen into abler hands.
Our Regiment was raised from so many portions of the State, that we have been unable to meet in annual reunions, which would have been the means of correcting many errors, especially in names. Our members are now scattered over the Western States to the Pacific Coast, but I have endeavored to get as many names as possible, with the present post office address, and will have them added in an appendix to this volume.
I am indebted to many of the old comrades for information asked for at different times during the past two years, and still ask for correction in names and dates, which will be noted for a second edition.
This book is only a plain record of events, with no attempt at humor, and will only be of interest to those who participated in the changing fortunes of the Regiment, or those others whose sons and brothers went out with us, never to return in this life.

TO SAMUEL M. ROBINSON, ESQ., OF PLYMOUTH, OHIO
The Firm and Steadfast Friend of Every Boy In the Village, and Whose Heart Beat in Union with Every Soldier in Camp and Field, and Whose Name is Enshrined in our Memory Forever, This Little Volume is Affectionately Inscribed.
CHAPTER 1
Organization of the Regiment - Assignment of Companies
When the President's call for "three years men" was issued, in the early part of May, 1861, many of the 'three months" companies still remained in various camps throughout the State, with no prospect of assignment to duty in the field.
These companies were given the privilege of re-enlisting for "three years, or during the war," and such as accepted the offer were immediately consolidated into regiments, placed in camp, and drilled and disciplined for active service.
Among the regiments thus organized was the 25th Ohio Infantry, which, with the 23d, 24th and 26th Ohio, formed the brigade in Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio, early in June, 1861.
Some of the companies, as before mentioned, had originally enlisted for three months, and had at first gone into camp in Camp Taylor, Cleveland, Ohio.
When the 25th Ohio was organized offers of companies poured in so fast that none but the very largest were accepted; and frequently the captain of one company would think himself fortunate in securing the position of first lieutenant, by fusing his company with another - thus bringing the number to the maximum (101), which warranted a speedier muster in and consequently an earlier assignment to a regiment, and active service.
Owing to this patriotic "rush to arms," regiments were not raised from one section of the State, but were composed of men from all parts, as many as sixty counties being represented in a single regiment.
This was the condition of affairs in the 25th, which was, however, remarkably fortunate in its assignment of companies, and the character of its officers, who were, as a rule, gentlemen of culture, and some of them of considerable experience in army matters, having creditably served in the war with Mexico. The enlisted men of the regiment were above the average in intelligence and social standing. The majority were young men, and it is safe to say that the average age of the Regiment was not over twenty-one. Ninety percent of the occupations were embraced in teaching, farming, book-keeping and clerks.
On the 28th of June, 1861, the last company required to complete the regimental organization was mustered into service, when the regiment presented the following roster:

Lieut. A. J. Hale, of Company E, was appointed Quartermaster, and Benjamin F.
Hawks was appointed by the Governor to fill the vacancy. Although the Pegiment
was only a few days in service, its organization had been complete, and the
appointment of Hawks to the vacancy in Company E was looked upon with much
disfavor in that company, and the feeling largely sympathized with by the
balance of the Pegiment.
Lieut. Hawks was an excellent officer, and well qualified, as he afterwards
proved, to fill any position in the Pegiment; but the feeling against his
appointment was so marked, that he shortly afterwards was detailed from the
Regiment, at his request, and soon resigned. He afterwards served in the
Adjutant General's Department, and was at one time Lieut. Colonel of the 78th
Ohio
