25th, moved forward to Washington, District of Columbia, where it attended the grand review, the grandest spectacle the world has ever seen, and thence to Bladensburg, where it received the new colors, which the following matter, furnished by comrade G. W. Holloway, will sufficiently explain.

The new flag for the Twenty-ninth regiment, contributed by the citizens of Summit and Ashtabula counties, was accompanied by the following letter from Colonels Buckley and Fitch. The receipt of the new flag is gracefully acknowledged by the letter of Mr. G. W. Holloway, appended thereto, which letter was accompanied by the old flag, which had been borne by this gallant regiment in so many bloody battles.

AKRON, May, 1865.

COL. JONAS SCHOONOVER. DEAR SIR:--We have the honor and pleasure of forwarding to the gallant old Twenty-ninth another national flag, the gift of its old friends in Ashtabula and Summit counties. This is the third national flag given the regiment from the same source. It is certainly a strong proof that its friends still believe it to be one of the bravest of the brave of the many noble regiments Ohio has given to fight this great battle. If the regiment had no other proof than its old and tattered flags, that alone would show that it had been in the thickest of the fight, ever ready to breast the fury of the battle storm; but its history tells us that it has borne an honorable part in nearly a score of the hardest fought battles of the war. Citizen soldiers, take this flag and bear it aloft wherever duty calls, and your friends will take your past record as a guarantee that it will never be dishonored by the Twenty-ninth Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry. Colonel, please remember us to the dear old Twenty-ninth, and accept for yourself our best wishes.

LEWIS P. BUCKLEY,
WILLIAM T. FITCH,
Old Cols. of the Twenty-ninth Ohio.

HEADQUARTERS TWENTY-NINTH OHIO, }
BLADENSBURG, MARYLAND, June 5, 1865. }

Colonels Buckley and Fitch, and S. A. Lane, Esq.:

GENTLEMEN:--In the name of the officers and men of the Twenty-ninth Ohio veteran volunteer infantry, I herewith acknowledge the receipt of the beautiful flag presented the regiment, and in return I present to you the old one, which it has been our proud honor to carry victoriously over many hard-fought battlefields. That dear “old flag” which has been our companion through years of fearful war and carnage, and which symbolizes our glorious nationality, tells its own story. We return it to you, but not so beautiful in form and color as when presented to us eighteen months ago. But whilst its external beauty has been defaced, yet the great life-giving principles of which it is the exponent, are all the more deeply enshrined in the hearts of its defenders, and Liberty receives through this standard another bright and shining star to her beautiful constellation. Take it, then, and place it among the archives of the nation, that it may be preserved as a sacred memorial, and handed down to latest posterity as a glorious legacy and standard that was borne, as by angel hands, in opposition to oppression and rebellion. Be assured that it is with a renewed national pride that we look upon this beautiful flag presented to the Twenty-ninth Ohio, by the patriotic and loyal citizens of Summit and Ashtabula counties. The past history of almost four years in war, speaks for our conduct as soldiers and patriots for the future. We promise never to desert this flag, nor will we permit traitors or rebels to wrest it from our hands. We will always be willing and ready to unfurl it in defense of the principles of our glorious, free Republic. Truly our country’s faith has learned a new interpretation of her standard. The white typifies the purity of purpose which belongs to her true ruler; the red points to the crimson tide in which life flows forth a willing offering; the blue reminds her of her home in heaven, to which all the good are gathered; the stars in her banner tell of light in darkness, and she shall learn to range them in a new and beautiful order, as the constellation of the cross. It is that flag which has solved most conclusively the long disputed problem of a free republican form of government. It was that flag which was so bravely and triumphantly carried through the ordeal of war by our Revolutionary sires, and encircled them with a halo of glory that shall be handed down untarnished to millions of unborn freemen. It was that flag which, under God, enabled our forefathers to gain our glorious independence, and here, in this beautiful land of lakes and rivers, rear a temple of liberty which stands first among the nations of the earth, the envy and admiration of all. It is the flag which we have learned to love and to defend, and which we cherish in our hearts as the guardian angel of our country.

May that same God who has given so many brave hearts to defend it, continue to preserve it, and may it give light and liberty to millions who are yet groaning under tyranny and oppression. But we would not pass by unnoticed the many noble brave men who offered themselves a willing sacrifice upon our country’s altar in defense of that national banner. The voices of our fallen comrades are borne to us in solemn silence by every breeze that fans our brow. The South is billowed with the graves where sleep the patriot martyrs of constitutional liberty, until the resurrection morn. We hold them dear to our hearts, for may it never be forgotten that their deeds of valor facilitated the consummation of the glorious results which have just been achieved. Though they be dead, they yet speak, and will continue to speak to the end of all time, and dear to each patriot heart will ever be the memory of those who died in defense of the Union.

“There are many
Patriots have toiled in their country’s cause,
Bled nobly, and their deeds, as they deserve,
Receive proud recompense. We give in charge
Their names to the sweet lyre. The historic muse
Proud of her charge, marches with it down
To latest time: and sculpture, in her turn,
Gives bond, in stone and ever-during brass,
To guard and immortalize her trust.”

At Bladensburg we went into camp, and remained until June 10. Marched to Washington at 8 P. M., and embarked on the cars of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and steamed away homeward, bound to Parkersburg by way of Grafton, West Virginia, thence by boat to Louisville, Kentucky; moved five miles into the country, where we remained until the 13th day of July, when we were mustered out. Repairing to Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, Ohio, we were paid off and formally discharged from the service on the 22d and 23d days of July, 1865.

We have now followed the regiment through nearly four years of the most arduous service which ever fell to the lot of any organization of this character, marching and fighting through most of the States in rebellion, its pathway marked by the graves of our comrades who fell. In the interim, hundreds of the brave 1540 who were upon its rolls, pass under the charge of the worse than fiends of hell, who presided at Libby, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and other courts of death, by courtesy called rebel prisons, where, after being robbed of all they possessed, and even stripped of necessary clothing, they were subjected to a systematic course of starvation (and that, too, under the immediate supervision of that foul blot upon humanity, Jeff Davis) until their brave spirits went out to the God who gave them. In the army of the East, with the army of the West, with Sherman in the glorious march to the sea, and the brilliant campaign of the Carolinas--where there was danger and death--shone the “white star” of the Twenty-ninth. The skirmish line and the advance became so nearly the normal condition of the regiment that assignment to positions less dangerous elicited exclamations of surprise from the “boys.”

At length the last ditch, so frequently referred to by the braggart rebels, was reached--chivalrous Jeff Davis in hoc and crinoline begged that mercy be shown to “woman and children.” The bubble secessia burst, and the command, now reduced to a mere handful, turn sadly northward, its columns “gaping from the havoc of shot and shell, and the disease of the camp, and prison pen, its colors ragged and torn, but proud and defiant as ever--one grand ovation to the living, a sad wailing requiem for the dead,” and “good byes” are said in the beautiful Forest city, as each departed for their homes to assume the peaceful avocations of four years before.

Gradually they have drifted away--some to a quiet nook in the country church yard, and others to the east, west, and south, until now they may be found in nearly every State and Territory in this vast Union. Annually they come together in re-union at some convenient point in Puritan Western Reserve, and

“Fight their battles o’er again.”

Each year a committee is appointed whose duty it is to draft resolutions of condolence to the memory of the comrades whose “final statements” have been called for since the last meeting, and this committee _always have something to do_. Each yearly roll call is shorter than its predecessor, and it does not require a long look into the future to find only the roll--no one to call it, and none to answer to their names if called.

Absent “comrades, gone before us
In the ‘great review’ to pass--
Never more to earthly chieftain
Dipping colors as ye pass--
Heaven accord ye gentle judgment
As before the throne ye pass.”

While almost within gun shot of the site of the canvass covered field of 1861, busily engaged in well nigh vain endeavors to retain his grip upon the “ragged edge” of a somewhat precarious existence, and but a few laps in advance of the grim gentleman with the hour glass and scythe, abides

THE DRUMMER BOY(?) OF COMPANY B.

GENERAL REVIEW.

The following review of the battles, sieges, marches, and campaigns in which the Twenty-ninth regiment was engaged, is from the pen of Colonel Jonas Schoonover. It gives in brief the important work of the regiment during its nearly four years’ service, and should the “gentle reader” find the descriptive portion of the history too voluminous, she has but to turn to this review to find consolation.

Beginning with the service in the winter of 1861-2, along the waters of the Potomac and its tributaries, and in the mountain regions of Hampshire county, the Romney expedition in West Virginia, the advance to Winchester via Little mountain and Martinsburg, thence into the Shenandoah valley. The Strasburg march, which ended in the battle of Winchester, where the Federal army, under General Shields, and the rebels, commanded by General T. J. Jackson, at Kernstown, engaged in a sanguinary battle on March 23d, 1862, in which the Union army gained a victory. The Twenty-ninth Ohio done its full share, suffering slight loss in killed and wounded. The march up the valley to Madisonburg; the long march to Fredericksburg, leaving the Shenandoah valley at New Market on the 12th day of May, 1862, and reaching Fredericksburg May 22, 1862, a day or two later returning to Luray via Warrenton and Front Royal, up the Luray valley to Port Republic, where, on the 9th day of June, it engaged in battle with heavy loss in killed and wounded. One hundred and ten were made prisoners. The Twenty-ninth was engaged at short range in the open field against three times its number over four hours. During the time the struggle was desperate on both sides. The battle of Cedar mountain, seven miles from Culpepper Courthouse, on August 9th, the Union army under Banks, the rebels under Longstreet, the Twenty-ninth was engaged in the open field without cover, and sustained considerable loss. Then followed the retrograde move to Culpepper; the campaign of General Pope, including the second battle of Bull Run; and the march to Frederick City; the winter and spring campaign of 1862 and 1863, under Major-general Joseph Hooker, at Dumfries, was memorable for its intense suffering; then came the march to Chancellorsville, and the battle there, which began May 1st, and ended on the 3d, in which the Twenty-ninth suffered heavy loss and was the last to leave the field. May 5th we crossed the Rappahannock on our way to Gettysburg via Aqua creek, Dumfries, Fairfax Court House, Leesburg, Edward’s Ferry, Harper’s Ferry, Frederick, and Littletown, where we fought one of the most determined battles of the war, commencing on the 1st and ending on the 4th day of July, 1863.

We returned to Virginia; moved to New York to quell riots; returned again; advanced to the Rapidan; reported to the Department of the Cumberland, via the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, crossing the Ohio river at Bellaire. On September 30th, we passed through Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky, and halted at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. In October we passed down to Stevenson and Bridgeport, Alabama, and up the Tennessee river to Wauhatchie valley.

On November 24th and 25th, we were engaged in the battle of Lookout mountain; Missionary Ridge on November 24th and 25th, and Taylor’s Ridge and Ringgold, Georgia, on November 26th and 27th, 1863.

In December of the same year we re-enlisted, and during the winter we prepared for a vigorous and active campaign in the early spring of 1864. On May 3d, we left Bridgeport, Alabama, on the Georgia campaign, passing around Lookout Mountain, Rossville, and Crawfish springs. On May 8th, the Twenty-ninth regiment took an active part in the battle of Dug Gap, Georgia, where it distinguished itself for bravery unparalleled in modern history; every fourth man was killed or wounded. We moved on to Resaca, and in the fight of the 14th our loss was light. We moved on to Calhoun, Adairsville, Kingston, and Cassville on May 21st. In the battle of Pumpkin Vine Creek (or Dallas) from May 25th to the 28th, we met with some loss. In the battle of Pine Knob on June 15th, the Twenty-ninth suffered severe loss. Many of its brave heroes, whose valor will ever be held in memory by every survivor of the Twenty-ninth regiment, were killed. The battles of Lost and Kenesaw Mountain were on June 20th and 27th, and we advanced to the Chattahoochie river, via Marietta, Georgia, and then to the battle of Peach Tree Creek.

The Georgia campaign, from May 8th until the evacuation of Atlanta on September 2, 1864, a period of four months, was one continuous battle. The marching through Georgia was a glorious achievement, and will ever be recorded as one of the most brilliant feats in this or any other war. In Sherman’s grand march to the sea and the siege and capture of Savannah, Georgia, the Twenty-ninth did its full share. It was engaged from December 10th to the 21st, when it entered the city of Savannah. On January 27, 1865, we moved on the campaign through the Carolinas, and were engaged in the following battles, and skirmishes of this campaign; Averysboro, North Carolina, on March 16th; Bentonville, North Carolina, on March 19, 1865, and marching to Goldsboro on March 24th. After Johnston’s army at Raleigh, North Carolina, and the final march through Virginia to Washington in May, 1865, we took part in the grand review, thence to Louisville, Kentucky, on to Camp Taylor at Cleveland, Ohio, and home. The regiment was in the service nearly four years, and it is but justice to state that during its entire term it was _never driven from its position by direct assault_.
