It [Ohio 7th Reg.] participated in the battles of Lookout mountain and Missionary ridge and then pursued the enemy to Ringgold, Ga., where the latter posted himself in a strong position. The brigade 360 The Union Army to which the /th belonged was ordered to storm the heights. At this point the gallant Creighton shouted to his regiment: "Boys, we are ordered to take that hill; I want to see you walk right up to it!" And up they went, in the face of a merciless fire in front and on both flanks. The
charge was repulsed with fearful loss, only i commissioned officer of
the regiment being left uninjured. Nineteen were killed, among whom
