TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
The table of contents is unusual. Seven of the topics in the table do not refer to chapters but rather to sections of text between chapter headings. The book contains two chapter headings not listed in the table of contents. An editorial decision was made to leave the table of contents as it was printed in the original book.
Written by
George Perkins, a member of Company A, at the earnest request of his Comrades of the Regiment.

In preparing this sketch of the 149th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the author has depended upon the memory of events that made a lasting impression upon a young mind. He does not claim to have written a full history of this service, that is stored in the memories and experiences of the different members of the Regiment. He does claim, however, that the main facts and movements of the Regiment and the other bodies of troops associated with it in the field, are accurate.
The writer was fortunate in making a record of dates and incidents, soon after his return, which record has been invaluable in the preparation of this sketch.
If the little booklet will be interesting to my comrades, or of any value in a historical way, I shall feel amply repaid for the labor in preparing it.
