escaped from a herd about midnight, and in wild frenzy rushed back
and forth through the army, jumping on and running over the bivouacked
sleeping soldiers, seriously injuring many, until a large part of
the army was alarmed and called up. He was finally surrounded and
bayoneted to death.

CHAPTER IX
Commissioned Colonel of 110th Ohio Volunteers--Campaigns in West
Virginia under General Milroy, 1862-3--Emancipation of Slaves in
the Shenandoah Valley, and Incidents
On September 30, 1862, I arrived at Columbus, Ohio, from Louisville,
and was at once commissioned Colonel of the 110th Ohio Volunteer
Infantry. My regiment was at Camp Piqua, Ohio, not yet organized
and without arms or clothing. I found the camp in command of a
militia colonel, appointed for the purpose.
The men of the 110th Ohio were for the most part recruited from
the country, and were being fed in camp, in large part, by home-
food voluntarily furnished by their friends. They were a fine body
of young men, but none of the officers had seen military service.
