CHAPTER I.

The South Preparing for War—The Fall of Sumter—The Grand Rally to the Support of the Flag—Formation of the Regiment.

President Lincoln, in his inaugural address of March 4, 1861, said: “I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe that I have no lawful right, and I have no inclination to do so.” The South had apparently decided otherwise, and continued the preparations for secession, begun under the administration of, and so ably seconded by that old imbecile, James Buchanan.

The outlook became so fraught with danger to the Union, that on April 7th a naval expedition sailed from New York to the relief of Fort Sumter. Its arrival off Charleston harbor was followed by a furious bombardment of the fort by the rebel batteries of General Beauregard. The capitulation on April 13th, of the little handful of gallant men who so bravely defended their country’s flag, was followed by an outburst of patriotic indignation perhaps never before witnessed in the history of the world. In an incredibly short space of time the President’s call for seventy-five thousand men was filled by citizens eagerly marching to the defense of the National capital.

The rebels meanwhile were busily engaged in appropriating or destroying the available arms and munitions of war belonging to the Government. At Bull Run, a few miles from Washington, General Beauregard massed his rebel horde, and here, on July 21st, General McDowell gratified the insane “On to Richmond” cry, by giving them battle. The result was the complete overthrow of the Union army, which retreated in the wildest disorder to Washington. This event cast a deep gloom over the entire North (barring the copperhead element). More than twice the time allowed by the knowing(?) ones to crush the Rebellion (sixty days) had elapsed, and yet it was growing stronger every day. The North was not yet awake to the magnitude of the work it had undertaken. The first patriotic outburst was on the wane; the sympathy of England and the encouragement given to the rebels by the “copperheads” in the North, gave a prestige to the Southern cause which, to many, bespoke the final success of treason. In this dark hour of our country’s peril, that brave old hero, Joshua R. Giddings, with B. F. Wade, E. B. Woodbury, and other well known associates, feeling that they had been disappointed in the acts of another regiment, made up in part of soldiers recruited in this district, obtained permission to organize regiment number Twenty-nine, which should be made up as far as possible, of those in political sympathy with the projectors. The report of the soldiers already returned from the three months’ service, and who were generally ready to go again, seemed to indicate who they wished for commanders. Major Lewis P. Buckley, of Akron, educated at West Point, was generally desired as colonel, and Thomas Clark, of Cleveland, formerly a cadet at Norwich university, Vermont, was for the same reason selected to commence the work. He was accordingly appointed major, on the 13th of August. Two days later he was mustered into service, and ordered to report at once to Jefferson, select a suitable location, and organize a camp. On the 17th he arrived at Jefferson, and a couple of days were spent in examining fields offered; at last the grounds of the County Agricultural Society were selected. A part of company A reported on the 19th, and company B in the afternoon of the same day. The camp equipage arrived on the 20th. On the 27th company C reported, and on September 10th, company D, and with this company came Colonel Buckley, who had just completed his service in the Nineteenth regiment.

Following are the companies, in the order they entered the service, with the commanders and the localities from which they were recruited: Company A, Captain William F. Fitch, was recruited in Jefferson and vicinity, and Hartsgrove. Company B, Captain Wilbur F. Stevens, was recruited in Pierpont and vicinity, and Harpersfield. Company C, Captain Edward Hayes, was recruited in Andover and vicinity, Gustavus, Ohio, and Espyville, Pennsylvania. Company D, Captain Pulaski C. Hard, was recruited in Akron, Summit county. Company E, Captain Horatio Luce, was recruited in Conneaut and surrounding townships. Company F, Captain John F. Morse, was recruited in Painesville and Mentor, Lake county, and Montville, Geauga county. Company G, Captain John S. Clemmer, was recruited in Akron and vicinity. (Second Lieutenant W. P. Williamson, of this company, who was shot dead at the battle of Winchester, Virginia, March 23, 1862, was the first man in the regiment to die by rebel hands.) Company H, Captain Jonas Schoonover, was recruited in Akron and vicinity. Company I, Captain Russell B. Smith, was recruited in Medina county, and by transfers, and company K, Captain Alden P. Steele, was recruited from the various townships in Ashtabula county.

The adverse causes before referred to, materially retarded the enlistment of the regiment, and it was not until about December 1st that the different company organizations were completed and the following staff officers elected:

Colonel Lewis P. Buckley, Akron, Summit county.

Lieutenant-colonel Thomas Clark, Cleveland, Cuyahoga county.

Major John S. Clemmer, Mogadore, Summit county.

Adjutant C. T. Chaffee, Jefferson, Ashtabula county.

Quartermaster O. F. Gibbs, Harpersfield, Ashtabula county.

Chaplain R. H. Hurlburt, Hartsgrove, Ashtabula county.

Surgeon A. K. Fifield, M.D., Conneaut, Ashtabula county.

Assistant Surgeon S. S. Burrows, M.D., Geneva, Ashtabula county.

Commissary Henry Wright, Trumbull, Ashtabula county.

Sergeant-major W. P. Williamson, Akron, Summit county.

Quartermaster-sergeant M. D. Norris, Mesopotamia, Trumbull county.

Hospital Steward E. P. Haynes, Atwater, Portage county.

Fife-major Richard Noonan, Hudson, Summit county.

Drum-major Gurley G. Crane, Cuyahoga Falls, Summit county.

Leader regimental band Chauncey Brainard, Gustavus, Trumbull county.


During the interim came the easy days of soldier life. Ah! those happy, golden days of camp life, when, with guard mount, battalion drill, and dress parade, the time passed swiftly away, and each heart beat high with patriotic desire for early marching orders; days looked back to from the dreary bivouac in the snow, tentless, and with clothing in tatters, scarce covering the form from the bitter, cutting winds of winter, or in the drizzling rain on the lonely outpost when sharp-eyed rebels only waited for the opportunity to send the leaden messenger of death whizzing in your direction. Sometimes the “boys” thought the rations were not sufficiently “gilt-edged,” quite too plain in fact, for the savers of the country’s honor, yet how often, while trying, almost in vain, with the half-pint of raw meal to keep the soul and the poor emaciated body together in those hell devised starvation traps—Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and Salisbury—did the brave fellows turn with longing hearts to the bounteous commissary at old Camp Giddings. Fears were oft expressed lest the war would close before the Twenty-ninth should be permitted to add its mite to the support of the flag. How needless they were the rolls show; more than one-third (five hundred and forty) of the one thousand five hundred and thirty-two members of the regiment, were either killed, wounded, or missing in action, and one hundred and fifty-seven died of disease. The colors, too, which waved so grandly in the sharp winter air, that long agone Christmas morning in 1861, are now in shreds, rent and torn by the leaden hail through which they were carried to glorious victories.

This beautiful stand of colors was presented to the regiment on Wednesday, November 27th, by Hon. J. R. Giddings, on behalf of the donors, the ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties. Mr. Giddings spoke as follows: “Gentlemen, officers and soldiers. Before entering upon the particular duty assigned me on the present occasion, I may be permitted to congratulate you and the country, upon the completion of your regimental organization and the perfection of your preparation for the field. I desire you at all times to bear in mind the causes which led to its formation. The present rebellion has its origin far back in history. Its first overt acts were put forth in Congress by subjecting the people of the free States to gag rules, by striking down the right of petition, by arraigning and publicly censuring Representatives for the faithful discharge of duty, by annexing, unconstitutionally, slave territory, and extending and strengthening the encroachments of slavery. To these violent encroachments upon the constitutional rights of the free States, this Western Reserve has from the first, presented a very general resistance....

“The ladies have prepared a splendid National and regimental stand of colors, and have imposed on me the pleasing duty of presenting them to the regiment. In all past ages civilized nations have gone forth to war under their own banner, on which was inscribed some device, figure, or emblem, peculiar to such nation. Thus each tribe among the Israelites had its particular banner. The early Christians fought under the cross, the Romans under the golden eagle, the Mohammedans under the crescent. The founders of our government selected for their colors a groundwork of blue, representing immutable justice and unlimited power, on which the stars, representing light, are twinkling in the vaulted heavens, while in mid ether the bird of Jove is floating, a fitting representation of the ease and power with which liberty and civilization are gliding over the earth; while the stars and stripes of red and white represent the vital principles and purity of our institutions.

[Addressing Colonel Buckley]: “To you, sir, as commander, I present these beautiful standards, for the use and benefit of the regiment. On behalf of the fair donors I confide these National and regimental standards to the care of yourself, your gallant officers and men. Wherever you go let them be borne aloft and respected as the emblem of universal freedom to all who seek your protection. Preserve them unstained, except by the blood of your enemies. Bear in mind that you go forth to fight the battles of the human race for all coming time; and should the roar of cannon, the rattling of muskets, the clashing of sabres, the din and smoke of battle surround you, remember the cause in which you are engaged, and be assured that if you fall, we who are left will care for your widows and children. Your own heroic deeds shall be enshrined in our memories, recorded in our history, admired by coming generations, and approved by a holy and just God.”

Colonel Buckley replied: “Respected Sir—I receive this stand of colors in behalf of the Twenty-ninth regiment. I return through you to the noble and patriotic ladies of Ashtabula and Summit counties their grateful thanks; and whenever and wherever it is unfurled to the breeze, and we look upon its stars and stripes, may we then remember the generous donors and the vow we this day make. This flag, the flag of our country, which has been our pride and our boast, and which is respected by all civilized nations; this flag, thank God, shall yet wave triumphantly wherever it has been struck down by the ruthless arm of the traitors: and, companions, whenever we look upon this beautiful flag may it inspire us to redouble our energies to do our duty to our beloved country, and if God in his providence permits us to return to home and kindred, may this flag come back with us to bear witness that the Twenty-ninth regiment Ohio volunteers was in the thickest of the fight.

“Sir, you have spoken in high commendation of my command. I can assure you I feel myself honored in having command of such a regiment. It will be my pride and ambition, with my fellow-officers to make it in all things pertaining to a well drilled and well disciplined regiment, one of the best in Ohio. And now, fellow-soldiers, in the presence of this assembly, and before high heaven, we swear upon the altar of our country to defend this flag so long as there shall be one true heart and strong arm to hold it to the breeze.”

At last the “boys’” impatience to go anywhere but here, was gratified by an order to move to Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, the date December 25th; and right here it may not be amiss to give an extract from an editorial in the Ashtabula Sentinel, as showing what the people of Jefferson thought of the regiment:

“They leave Jefferson with the respect and esteem of our citizens as an orderly and well behaved body of men. They have been over three months within our quiet village, during which time no disturbance has occurred and no depredations have been committed. They have proved themselves honorable men, the best evidence that they will be brave soldiers. When they are heard from in the fight we have no fears of a bad account.”
