United States. Army. Ohio Light Artillery Regiment, 1st (1861-1865)
Variant namesFormed under the Militia Law of 1860, the regiment consisted of six companies with one gun each. It was sent to Camp McClellan, at Marietta, at the outbreak of the Civil War and split up. Two companies saw action at Philippi while four were sent to Grafton. They rejoined for the battle at Laurel Hill and mustered out of state service on July 26, 1861. The full regiment entered United States service on September 3, 1861 at Camp Dennison, where it was organized into twelve light batteries. As each battery was filled and equipped it was sent separately into the field, resulting in 12 individual battery histories.
