The Fourteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment was Northwest Ohio’s first regiment raised for the Civil War, and was that state's first unit to see action – near a small Western Virginia town called Philippi. This book is the only official history of that regiment ever written. It was originally published in 1881 and for many years was out of print. Regimental historian Kathleen A. Jones has now transcribed this book, including its rosters, added notes and illustrations, and is once again making it available to the public. Also included in this edition is new material originally prepared as presentations and featuring various aspects of the regiment. Available in both paperback ($12.50) and downloadable EPUB Ebook format ($4.99).

The Men of Battery H is unique among Civil War regimental histories. It focuses on the individuals who made up the Battery and is a compilation of biographical and genealogical information for each of the men who served this unit. The book is illustrated with over 250 photographs of gravesites, as well as wartime and post-war portraits. With the sesquicentennial of the Civil War upon us, what better way to remember these men than by making this information available to genealogists, descendants and researchers alike. This book is 396 pages and can be purchased from Lulu(R) in three different formats - Paperback ($20.00), Hardcover ($30.00), and as a downloadable Ebook ($4.99).

Table of Contents

	This section contains an short history of the 14th OVI--3 months service and 3 years service-- taken from Clark Waggoner's History of the City of Toledo and Lucas County, originally published in 1888. The history of the regiment presented in outline form. The information comes primarily from Dyer's Compendium, with a few other sources used to complete the picture. The story of Toledo, Ohio in the months prior to the outbreak of hostilities, from the summer of 1860 to the formation of the first Northwestern Ohio regiment -- the 14th Ohio -- and its departure for western Virginia.
	This section includes letters written by and about members of the regiment that appeared in local newspapers. They are divided into the following subsections: "Sumter" Letter dated May 8, 1861 "Sumter" Letter dated May 14, 1861 Isaac Sherwood Letters,Part 1 Isaac Sherwood Letters, Part 2
	Letter by George Duncan Forsyth Two Letters About Philippi, dated June 5, 1861 Two More Letters About Philippi Letters by Rev. Raffensperger Letter by Lt. Josiah Jonson Letters by M. M. Goulden
	Sept 23rd Letter Written by "N" Sept 30th Letter Written by Pvt. Augustus C. May Nov 30th Letter by "Drumhead" on Mission Ridge Bivouac on the Chattahoochee River Battle of Jonesboro, Georgia Campaign in the Carolinas
	It was through my research into Henry D. Kingsbury that I became interested in the 14th Ohio. I spent many hours pouring through reels of microfilm and writing to places far and wide in search of records. I even made the drive to Brunswick, Ohio to see where Henry grew up. This short biography is the result of this labor of love.
	This section contains short biographical sketches of various members of the 14th Ohio Regiment. The sources are primarily local history books published during the late 19th century. More bios will be added over time. James Blair Steedman George Peabody Este Isaac Ruth Sherwood
	This section is not finished. It will include articles and pictures pertaining to some, but not necessarily all, of the battles and campaigns in which the 14th OVI participated. Ever wonder how the local newspapers covered the war. I picked one battle, Chickamauga, to give an idea of what the folks back home were hearing.
	A list of the men of the Fourteenth Ohio Infantry who were prisoners of war. By honoring these men we pay tribute to all Americans who have suffered as Prisoners of War. A special page dedicated to the men who died at Andersonville, Georgia.
	The Fourteenth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry may have been the first regiment from Northwest Ohio, but certainly not the only one. During the course of the American Civil War, Northwest Ohio supplied soldiers either wholly or partially for at least thirteen other units. Included here are short capsule histories of some of these units, primarily infantry regiments, but also cavalry and artillery. These histories come from a local history book published in 1888. No attempts have been made by the author of this web site to verify or substantiate any of the information presented in these histories. Those interested in learning more are encouraged to pursue their own avenues of research. 25th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 27th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 37th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 47th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 67th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 84th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 100th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 111th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 128th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 130th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 184th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 189th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry 3rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Cavalry Battery H, 1st Regiment, Ohio Light Artillery 21st Independent Ohio Artillery
