- Lot Description
Lot of approximately 35 items associated with the 7th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, a Union regiment organized in northeastern Ohio under Colonel Erastus B. Tyler, first for 3 months service then on July 25, 1861, for 3 years. The 7th participated in some of the most significant battles of the Civil War including Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Lookout Mountain, and Missionary Ridge. The collection offered here contains in part 7 soldiers' letters, a field pass, discharge papers, a notebook, 3 war-date annual newspaper supplements from Cleveland-area papers, and a hand-carved wooden box, 11 in. l x 7.5 in. w x 5.25 in. h.Consignor relates that the wooden box may have belonged to Col. E.B. Tyler, though there is no definitive documentation. Box features "7th OVI" carving on hinged lid and a roughly hewn eagle motif with crossed swords and "US" shield on front facing side. The notebook, approx. 6.75 x 4 in., appears to have been a repurposed address book, and is identified on front cover to William D. Shepherd, Lieut. and Adjutant 7th OVI. Shepherd documents soldier names and titles, along with clothing accounts and furloughs. Discharge papers include a scarce "Certificate of Disability for Discharge" issued to Private Charles H. Ballou on account of typhoid fever. Field pass signed on June 18, 1864, by Lieut. Frank Dutton, formerly of the 7th but when signed serving in the OH 150th. Notable among the letters are three written in old-style German by soldiers Jacob Schneiberger and Sebastian Hahn respectively (both enlisted on 4/22/61 as privates), two letters with English translations, including this undated missive from Schneiberger: "...we are now back in the wilderness, where we can't see more than the sky and the woods. They don't let us rest until nobody is left. They shouldn't send us again into it like the last time. There is nobody left from the 7th regiment...." Morris Baxter, who rose to the rank of 1st Lieut. and Adjutant and DOW on November 30, 1863, at Chattanooga, TN, wrote his father on April 15, 1862, from Edinburgh, VA, stating: "Everything is pretty quiet here now except the Rebels opening their cannons on us once in a while. Yesterday they came in sight and fired six shells at us but our batteries soon silenced them. We can see them everyday from our camp. They come out of the woods on the other side of the river, but they never come within range of our muskets....General Shields was out and reviewed us on last Saturday. he is very weak yet from the wound he received at Winchester."Front cover of notebook is completely detached, and notebook itself was repurposed for collecting and pasting newspaper clippings. Some scuffing and wear to box but generally in good condition. Various amount of wear to documents but most easily legible.
