CDV PHOTOGRAPH CIVIL WAR SOLDIER IDENTIFIED CAPT 13TH OHIO SAMUEL McCULLOCH KIA
We are listing several very nice Civil War CDV Photographs today (We listed some yesterday as well). They all relate to Ohio and Tennessee. All of the soldiers were members of Ohio units. You will see how they all interact with each other if you do a little research. They are all from one group that just came out of an estate. This CDV photograph is identified as Captain Samuel McCulloch. McCulloch was mortally wounded at the Dallas, May 1864. This photograph appears to be signed by him. The location Chattanooga Tennessee is noted.
The history of the 13th Ohio. Runkle, William Schneider, Elhanon M. The Offi- cial Army Register says of the 13th Ohio: This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison, Ohio, from June 12 to 26, 1861, to serve three years.
The original members (except veterans) were mustered out on June 26, 1864, by reason of expiration of term of service, and the organization, composed of veterans and re- cruits retained in the service until Dec. 5, 1865, when it was mustered out in accordance with orders from the war depart- ment. The following is the official list of battles in which the 13th regiment bore an honorable part : Shiloh, occupation of Corinth, Stone's river, Liberty gap, Chickamauga, Missionary ridge, Rocky Face ridge, Cassville, Dallas, Pickett's mills, Kennesaw mountain, Hood's First Sortie at Atlanta, Lovejoy's Station, Franklin and Nashville.
In the second day's fight at Shiloh the 13th Ohio, burning to avenge their fallen comrades of the day before, charged the famous Washington battery of New Orleans and after a desperate struggle captured it entire, but only to lose it, as the enemy in larger numbers made a charge and retook their pieces. When the last grand advance of the Federal army was made, another attempt was made by the 13th to capture the famous battery. It was successful, and the famed guns were once more the trophies of the regiment. At Stone's river the loss of the regiment was 31 killed, 85 wounded and 69 missing - total 185.At Chickamauga the lieu- tenant-colonel was killed, the major severely wounded, and the skeleton ranks attested the heavy and mournful loss of rank and file. In reference to Missionary ridge, history has recorded the successful charge that swept the Confederate host down the mountain, across the valley, and converted its retreat into a shameful rout.
In this charge the 13th bore itself bravely, and it is claimed was the first to plant its colors on the Con- federate works. The losses of the regiment in this affair were severe.
