The 9th Ohio Infantry was a volunteer regiment raised right here in Cincinnati during the Civil War. Of over 1000 members of the regiment, nearly all were ethnic Germans; only 50 were born in the United States. They served from the beginning of the war until June 1864, engaged in major battles such as Chickamauga and Perryville as well as minor battles like Rich Mountain, Carnifex Ferry (WV), and Mill Springs, KY, where they broke the enemy line with a spectacular bayonet charge.
This presentation is a result of over 15 years of research and study, and I intend to raise awareness not just of this regiment, but of the over 150,000 German immigrants who served, and who have been more or less overlooked by the historical narrative of the Civil War. I am also currently working on a book proposal on the 9th Ohio that compiles this research and shows a much more complete picture of their history.
