| Summary | "A Historic Sketch, Lest We Forget Company 'E,' 26th Ohio Infantry in the War…" by Captain Welden Kelly is a historical account documented in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the experiences and contributions of Company E of the 26th Ohio Infantry during the American Civil War, primarily between 1861 and 1865. It serves as a tribute to the service and sacrifices of the men who fought under this company, providing insight into their organization, key battles, and the everyday lives of soldiers during this tumultuous period in American history. The narrative begins with the formation of Company E and its early training at Camp Chase in Ohio. Captain Kelly recounts various campaigns, including engagements at Gawley Bridge, Chickamauga, and Atlanta, detailing the company’s movement through battles and skirmishes, their strategies, and the heavy losses they faced. The text is both a personal memoir and a tribute, highlighting the valor and camaraderie experienced by soldiers as they confronted enemy forces and endured the harsh realities of war. Kelly provides statistical details of casualties, personal anecdotes about fellow soldiers, and reflections on the nature of warfare, cementing the legacy of Company E in the larger story of the Civil War.
