9th Ohio, "We were the Ninth: A History of the Ninth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, April 17th, 1861, to June 7th, 1864," by Constantine Grebner. Translated and edited by Frederick Trautmann. Published in 1987, by the Kent State University Press, Kent, OH 44242. 322 pages, Cost $ 24.00. This history of the 9th Ohio was originally published in 1897 as Die Neuner. Surprisingly, despite the large number of Germans who fought for the Union or the Confederacy. It was the only full-length regimental history ever published in German. The regiment was raised from Cincinnati's large German population in response to President Abraham Lincoln's first call for volunteers. Two officers were responsible for molding the 9th into a superbly drilled, combat-ready outfit. Robert L. McCook, the regiment's first colonel and the only Anglo-American in the unit, admitted to a lack of military knowledge and described himself as "clerk for a thousand Dutchmen." But he proved himself on the battlefield, was promoted to brigadier general, and was deeply mourned by his old regiment when guerrillas in Alabama killed him in 1862. Another future general, Prussian-trained August Willich, was the 9th's first drillmaster. The frank narrative describes the regiment's often-tedious movements with the Armies of the Ohio and the Cumberland until its muster out of the service in June, 1864. The regiment's several combats (most notably the Battles of Mill Springs, KY, January, 1862), and Chickamauga, Georgia (Sept. 1863) are recounted proudly. Indeed, an ethnic pride shines through this book. The men of the 9th believed their unit's German character "always gave us an advantage over other units," and an entire chapter lauds the role of German-Americans in the war. But the book is not mere pro-German puffing-it is balanced enough to tell of incompetent officers, deserters and near-mutiny. The account includes interesting anecdotes by anonymous members of the 9th, and is completed by a regimental roster. Reprints of rare and increasingly expensive old regimental histories are always gladly received. We Were the 9th, now available in English, is doubly welcome. (Reviewed by Mark H. Dunkelman, Providence, R.I., for Civil War Times Illustrated).

29th Ohio Volunteer Infantry....fact...."This distinguished regiment is included as one of William F. Fox's (circa 1889) top 300 Union Fighting Regiments."
29th Ohio, "Journal History of the Twenty-Ninth Ohio Veteran Volunteers, 1861-1865, Its Victories and Its Reverses," by J. Hamp SeCheverell, published 1883, Cleveland, Ohio. The 29th was recruited in the Congressional District of a noted Ohio abolitionist, J.R. Giddings, of Jefferson, Ohio. The regiment was sponsored by Giddings and organized by his associates in Jefferson, Ohio, to reflect the strident antislavery views of the residents of Ohio's Western Reserve. The 29th fought in Virginia at First Kernstown, Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, Chancellorsville, and at Gettysburg, PA, before being detached to Major General William Starke Rosecrans' relief at Chattanooga, TN, August, 1863. From here they were present at Lookout Mountain, Ringgold, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, New Hope Church, Pine Mountain, Kolb's Farm, Kennesaw Mountain and the siege of Atlanta, GA. The 29th marched "To the Sea" with William Tecumseh Sherman, and through the Carolinas Campaign ending in the Grand Review in Washington, D.C. The 29th was mustered out at Louisville, KY, July, 1865 and are included in Fox's "Fighting Regiments." (Thanks to James Fritsch, Burnsville, MN who furnished this information on the 29th Ohio and who is also planning to publish his modern day history of the 29th, titled, "The Heavens on Fire: An Ohio Regiment in the American Civil War," by March, 1998).

74h Ohio, "Greene County Units in the War of the Rebellion." I was cruising your listing of works on Ohio regiments and didn't find any listed that I'm familiar with which were raised in Greene County. 'Round here it is said that while Ohio sent more men, per capita, into the Union Army than any other State, Greene County sent more men, per capita, into the Union Army than any other Ohio County. The Greene County Room in the Xenia has a book, "Greene County Units in the War of the Rebellion" that is primarily about the 74th Ohio raised during the 1862 Kentucky incursion and fought at Stone's River and in the Atlanta Campaign. It is noteworthy in that it was made up nearly entirely of men from Greene County, with men assigned to 'companies representing each of the 12 townships. Other units discussed in this book include Companies D & E of the 12th OVI, which saw action at 2nd Bull Run and Lee's first invasion of Pennsylvania (South Mountain and Antietam, and the 10th Ohio Battery (Vicksburg campaign) among others. I've seen this book for sale only once and the asking price was $200, a bit rich for my blood. Tom Vondruska
