Regiment History OHIO FORTY-FIRST INFANTRY (Three Years) Forty-first Infantry. - Cols., William B. Hazen, Aquilla Wiley; Lieut.-Cols., John J. Wiseman, George S. Mygatt, Robert L. Kimberly, Ephraim S. Holloway; Majs., John H. Williston, Ezra Dunham. This regiment was organized at Camp Wood, from Aug. 26 to Oct. 29, 1861, to serve for three years. On the expiration of its term of service the original members (except veterans) were mustered out, and the organization composed of veterans and recruits retain- ed in service until Nov. 27, 1865, when it was mustered out in accordance with orders from the war department. The following is a list of battles, in which this regiment bore an honorable part, taken from the Official Army Register, Part V, page 116: Shiloh, Stone's river, Woodbury, Liberty gap, Tenn.; Chickamauga, Ga.; Brown's ferry, Chattanooga, Orchard knob, Missionary ridge, Tenn.; Rocky Face ridge, Resaca, Adairsville, Cassville, Dallas, Pickett's mills, Kennesaw mountain, Chattahoochee river, Siege of Atlanta, Lovejoy's Station, Ga.; Franklin and Nashville, Tenn. Of 373 who entered the engagement at Shiloh 141 were either killed or wounded in half an hour. Of 410 officers and men at Stone's river - the largest number it ever took into bat- tle - 112 were killed or wounded. At the close of the fight at Orchard knob, Gen. Thomas said to Col. Wiley, who command- ed the 41st in that battle: "Colonel, I want you to express to your men my thanks for their splendid conduct this after- noon. It was a gallant thing - a very gallant thing." The losses of the regiment in this battle, and at Missionary ridge were severe, 115 of the regiment having fallen, most of them at Orchard knob. At Rocky Face ridge the regiment, now reduced to a battalion, was complimented for its steadi- ness under a galling fire, and at Resaca it gained a crest within 75 yards of the enemy's main line and effectually pre- vented the use of his artillery. At Dallas it lost 108 men out of 260, one company losing 20 out of 22, and another 9 out of 11. At the Chattahoochee river it lost 2 men killed and 5 wounded. From 331 men at the beginning of the Atlanta campaign the regiment dwindled to 91. Of those lost 150 fell in battle. Source: The Union Army, vol. 2 Historical Data Systems, Inc. P.O.
