This Regiment was organized at Camps Lucas and Dennison, Ohio, from July 27 to September 14, 1861, to serve 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, consolidated into a Battalion of seven companies, and retained in service. It was consolidated with the Thirty-sixth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in accordance with orders from the War Department, dated February 24, 1865.
