Publisher's Synopsis
The Ohio 88th Infantry Regiment was organized in July, 1862, and mustered in October 27, 1862, under Colonel George W. Neff, it was placed on duty at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio. When Kirby Smith threatened Cincinnati the 88th moved to Covington; but soon returned to Camp Chase. A detachment served in West Virginia and Maryland, but returned to operate against John Morgan. In October, 1863, the Regiment was ordered on duty in Cincinnati, but again returned to Camp Chase, where it remained until mustered out July 3, 1865. This was a complete and well drilled organization and if given a chance would have done good service in the field.
