Hi Guys,
There's a lot of interest in this book that I've found, so I thought I'd make a recommendation. Those interested in it can try interlibrary loaning it at their local library -- that's what I did. My copy came all the way up here to Gallia County, Ohio from Nashville, Tennessee. I've also gotten books from Brigham Young University, so libraries way out of state do interlibrary loan:-)
The information that you'll need to give your reference librarian is:
Title: History of the First Ohio Heavy Artillery (first organized as the 117th Ohio Volunteer Infantry)
Author: Miller, Hillborn C.
Date: 1966]
My library doesn't charge for interlibrary loan, some charge a dollar or two, and some have a refundable deposit. So it shouldn't cost much. I'll look up names, but to be honest I have only 55 pages of a much bigger book. Most of what I have concerns my great grandfather's company. Knowing that he was in Co. G, I didn't copy lists of other regiments, information about those who died in service, etc. And I didn't copy a lot of stuff about Camp Nelson and such either as my great grandfather didn't spend much time there, if any. I'm more than happy to check for specific names, but even if I don't have them in my stuff doesn't mean the book doesn't.
It's surprising that for a regiment that seems so obscure, so many people have ancestors in it:-)
