��HISTORY OF RICHLAND COUNTY.

��amount, as reported in the next week's Herald was $18,279. The County Commissioners had agreed to levy a tax of $25,000, all to be ex- pended in px'ocuring volunteers. Committees were appointed in all the townships to work matters up, and, if possible, raise the full num- ber of men required.

Recruiting went on in the One Hundred and Second as it had done in all other companies. Just before its ranks were filled, the One Hun- dred and Twentieth, which had two full com- panies from this county, and which had been recruiting since the call for 300,000 troops was made, assembled in Camp Mansfield August 29, and began drilling and prepairing for war.

The One Hundred and Second began recruit- ing July 23. August 18, it entered Camp Mansfield with 1,041, rank and file, showing that the energy of the oflficers, the money for bounty and the patriotism of the people were yet as strong as ever. The One Hundred and Second left Camp Mansfield Thursday, Septem-

��ber 4, and the next morning arrived in Coving- ton, Ky., where the men were mustered into service, all being accepted but one. Jonas Smith, the County Auditor, and T. J. Robinson, J^sq., accompanied the regiment, each man of which received about $90 bounty money, a large amount of which these gentlemen brought back to the soldiers' families.

In order that the narrative of the One Hun- dred and Second regiment maj' not be broken, the history of its service will be given in this place, and followed through its life in camp, in the field, on the march and in its triumphs, until it returns home, when the reader will be invited to return to the history of events in the county immediatelj' following its departure. The roster of the One Hundred and Second as here given, gives the names of those ofl3cers only who went from Richland County. The history of the One Hundred and Second in the field is gleaned from " Ohio in the War," from which much is gathered regarding all the com- panies raised in this count}-.
