This was one of the last German regiments raised in Ohio. Although
other
enterprises of the same kind were in the field before his, Lieutenant
TAFEL
succeeded in recruiting and organizing, within a few weeks, eight
companies,
with an aggregate of seven hundred and thirty men. On the fourth day of
September, 1862, orders came for the regiment to move to Covington, to
be ready to repel the forces of Kirby SMITH, then threatening
Cincinnati.
Here a little skirmish with the enemy gave the men an introduction to
their
future work. The Austrian rifles with which they were armed proving
nearly
useless, the regiment was shifted from place to to place, and left
incomplete
as to number. It remained in the field as a battalion. At this time
MORGAN,
the raider, was disturbing Kentucky, and the regiment participated in
several
expeditions against him. At Bowling Green, on the fourth of November,
it
came under the command of General ROSECRANS. The Thirty-ninth brigade,
in which the One Hundred and Sixth now belonged, moved to Glasgow,
Kentucky,
where some successful skirmishing followed, as also on the succeeding
march
to Hartsville. At this point Colonel SCOTT, who had been commanding the
brigade, was exchanged for a much inferior officer. Under this
commander
the disgraceful affair at Hartsville took place, December 7, 1862. One
company only, absent as escort to the provision train at Gallatin,
escaped
captivity. After five days detention, the prisoners were paroled and
sent
to General ROSECRANS at Nashville. This general, after receiving a full
report from Lieutenant Colonel TAFEL of the affair, expressed his
entire
satisfaction with the conduct of the regiment and its commander on that
occasion. On the twelfth day of January, 1863, the regiment was
declared
exchanged, and was ordered to Camp Dennison, to re-organize. It soon
moved
on to Frankfort, Kentucky, to relieve the One Hundred and Third Ohio.
Owen
county was at that time infested with guerilla bands, and Lieutenant
Colonel
TAFEL determined to stop their depredations. Several desperate
characters
were soon after captured, their bands dispersed, and the regiment, for
the bravery and excellent conduct of officers and men, won praise from
the citizens of the city and the authorities of the State. Receiving
orders
for Nashville, the regiment arrived at that city May 4, 1863, and was
soon
after put to guard the railroad from that city to the borders of
Kentucky.
So galling did the rigorous rule of this regiment become to the
guerillas,
that their leader, Captain HARPER, offered a reward for the head of its
commander. On the fourth of May, 1864, the regiment moved to
Bridgeport,
and formed part of the garrison. It was October, 1864, before the
regiment
was recruited to its maximum strength. During the impetuous raid of
General
HOOD, the One Hundred and Sixth held on to its posts along the
Nashville
& Chattanooga railroad, although for four weeks completely cut off
from all communication with the main army at Nashville. It remained in
camp in Alabama, performing valuable service until June, 1865, when it
was ordered to Nashville for muster-out, which event was consummated
June
29.

This command was composed mainly of the German element, and was
recruited
in Hamilton, Butler, and Franklin counties. When but partly organized
in
August, 1862, four companies were hurried from Camp Dennison to
Covington,
by the alarm of invasion, and there welcomed four companies more. After
Kirby SMITH retreated, the regiment went to Louisville, and thence to
Frankfort,
to put down MORGAN's guerillas. It was there placed in General DUMONT's
division and marched to Bowling Green, where it was assigned to the
Thirty-ninth
brigade, Twelfth division. Resuming its march the regiment, near
Hartsville,
Tennessee, was skilfully saved from an overwhelming force of MORGAN's
and
other rebels, which had surrounded it; but a few days after, through
the
carelessness and cowardice of an Illinois officer, the brigade
commander,
it was surrendered to MORGAN, with all the forces and stores at
Hartsville.
The One Hundred and Eighth, however, gave the enemy a courageous
resistance
for more than an hour, losing forty-six killed and one hundred and
sixty-two
wounded. Every officer of the regiment, except three, was captured. The
conduct of the command was especially commended in a letter from
General
ROSECRANS. After exchange it was duly reorganized at Camp Dennison,
receiving
another company. It was assigned to duty in Frankfort, Kentucky, and
won
golden opinions for its discipline and good conduct, the order for its
removal being thrice revoked at the request of General ROBINSON and
other
leading citizens. It was finally ordered to Louisville, and thence to
Nashville,
where it served for four months guarding railroads. September 6th it
moved
by rail to Stevenson, and in November reached the vicinity of
Chattanooga,
where it took post on Moccasin Point, at the foot of Lookout Mountain,
supporting the Eighteenth Ohio battery. It was here made part of the
Second
brigade, Second division, Fourteenth corps, with which it served until
the close of the war. November it crossed the Tennessee and had a
spirited
skirmish with the rebels near Graysville. It was then hurried to the
relief
of Knoxville, but was turned back from Morgantown, on the Little
Tennessee,
to Chattanooga, which it reached after a very toilsome march, during
which
many of its men had trod the frozen ground barefooted. It went into
winter
quarters near Rossville, and in February, 1864, moved to Lyne's
Station,
on the Knoxville railroad, whence it took part in the reconnoissance
from
Ringgold to Tunnel Hill, and on towards Dalton. Upon its return to
Rossville
it was joined by two new companies. May 3d it marched for Ringgold, on
the Atlanta campaign, and for four months was engaged in almost
continuous
marching and fighting. It happened to be engaged especially in bayonent
charges, in which it was uniformly successful, driving the rebels
several
times from strong positions. At Resaca it was in a storm of bullets for
four hours, and lost heavily. It was in the side movement on Rome, and
captured a large lot of chewing and smoking tobacco, which a German
regiment
knows how to enjoy. During the latter part of the campaign it did noble
service as train guards between Chattanooga and Atlanta, in one case a
sergeant and twenty men successfully defending, through a whole day, a
train thrown from the track. In August a part of the regiment
participated
in the defence of Dalton against Wheeler's cavalry. It broke camp at
that
place in early November, and went to Atlanta to join in the march to
the
sea. During the last fight of SHERMAN's army at Bentonville, North
Carolina,
it was largely instrumental in saving the day by a most heroic
resistance.
Six times the rebels charged and were repulsed, and four times the men
of the One Hundred and Eighth had to leap over their slight
breastworks,
to repel attacks from rear as well as front. When the last attack was
repulsed
the regiment had left but two cartridges per man. It was in the advance
of the movement April 10, 1865, from Goldsborough toward Smithfield, on
the Neuse river, and was sharply engaged with the rebel cavalry for
nine
hours, driving it fourteen miles during that time. This was the last
action
of the war; and it is claimed that this regiment fired the last shots
against
the Rebellion, and that Captain FLEISCHMAN, of company H, who lost his
life during the fight, was the last Federal officer who was killed on
the
field in the long struggle. The regiment rested a short time at Holly
Springs,
North Carolina, then marched from Raleigh to Richmond, one hundred and
ninety-two miles, in six and a half days, without leaving a straggler;
and thence to Washington, where it took part in the grand reviews, and
was mustered out June 9, 1865. Throughout its service it was held in
the
highest esteem by its brigade, division, and corps commanders, for its
prompt action, its discipline, and fighting qualities.

Only one company ("I," from Cincinnati) was recruited in Hamilton
county.
The regiment was organized at Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, and started
for the field New Year's day, 1863. Its first camp was made at
Elizabethtown,
Kentucky, and in February embarked at Louisville for Nashville, and
marched
thence to Franklin, where it encamped till June, building forts,
drilling,
and engaged in other duties. It was in the affair of the fourth of
March,
at Thompson's Station, in which a Federal brigade was taken, but
escaped
the field in time to avoid capture, with the artillery and the
ammunition
train it was guarding. It suffered severely from disease during the
rest
of the stay at Franklin. June 2d it joined the forward movement of
ROSECRANS'
army, and at Manchester was brigaded in the Second brigade, Second
division,
Twenty-first army corps. While in camp there, under better conditions
of
living, the health of the men greatly improved. August 16th the march
over
the Cumberlands began, and September 9th the Tennessee was crossed in
water
reaching to the waists of the men. September 19th, at Chickamauga, the
regiment was sharply engaged for the first time, and stood the ordeal
bravely
and well, losing one hundred men killed, wounded, or captured. The next
day it was again engaged, losing forty men (including its colonel), and
being compelled to fall back upon Chattanooga with the beaten forces,
yet
bearing itself handsomely throughout. The starvation period at and
about
Chattanooga followed, during which it was assigned to the Second
brigade,
Third division, Fourth corps, and engaged in building forts and other
works.
October 26th it was in the skilful and brave night attack by which
Raccoon
mountain was captured, and in the subsequent movements which enabled
HOOKER's
troops to cross the river and raise the siege. November 23d it bore a
distinguished
part in the charge on Mission Ridge, capturing seven guns and eighty
stand
of arms, but losing fifty-six men, among whom was Captain FROST, of the
Cincinnati company, mortally wounded at the moment the enemy's works
were
occupied. In November it marched to relieve Knoxville. The next winter
was spent in East Tennessee, in the endurance of many
