Company C, Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry Morning Reports

The three-years 3rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry (OVI) for the Union Army during the American Civil War was organized at Camp Dennison on June 12, 1861. It served at locations in Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. Much of the regiment was captured on May 3, 1962 near Rome, Georgia, and taken as prisoners of war. The captives were exchanged later that month and sent to Columbus, Ohio, to reorganize. In June 1863, the 3rd OVI assisted in quelling the Holmes County Rebellion and in July was involved in the pursuit of the Morgan's Raiders. On November 27, 1863, the regiment was sent to the rear lines to perform garrison duty at Chattanooga, Tennessee, until June 1864. It was then ordered back to Camp Dennison on June 9, where it mustered out June 23, 1864, 1864. Company C served under Colonel John Beatty.
