Publisher's Synopsis
This history of the 90th Ohio Volunteer Infantry regiment is presented "in the form of a diary, interspersed with sketches and personal recollections of the boys." It contains "the names of all who served in the regiment, with a brief note as to whether they were killed in battle; were mortally wounded; died of disease; were discharge for disability, and so far as possible, whether captured or wounded; and lastly, whether they were so fortunate as to serve their time, and were mustered out with the regiment, at Camp Harker, near Nashville, Tenn., June 13, 1865. These personal sketches had necessarily to be short." War-time pictures have been included when possible. The author concludes this work with a Roll of Honor for the 90th O.V.I., which gives "the names of the 90th, who were killed, died of disease or wounds, while in the service of their country. ... Making a total of 234 who were killed or died of disease, and the two who were missing, no doubt died, making the total deaths 236."
