Realities of War and the Twenty first Ohio at Chickamauga

Fragmented war reminiscences recount the Twenty-first Ohio volunteers from rural Putnam Wood Dellaney and Ottawa counties fighting at Chickamauga. Tales cover early campaigns in West Virginia, the battle of Stone River, Colt revolving rifles, shelter tents called dog tents, and a deadly last stand on Horseshoe Ridge where Major McMahan and Captain Comstock describe ammunition shortages and a nighttime surrender.

First Fire and Fearless Faith of a Civil War Soldier

Gronax L Kien recalls initiation into artillery and musketry during Civil War battles. He describes the first fire as a novelty, the shock of battlefield death, and the gradual hardening through discipline, ragged marches, bombardments, and relentless fighting at Petersburg and nearby fronts. He notes sleepless nights, mortars, rifle batteries, and the mental shift from fear to duty amid heavy casualties.
