Attention to Orders and supplements
Welcome to my web site ! Several thoughts before you get started. Initially, I was hoping to create a
user friendly, easy working, “ live “ data base. As I progressed, far too many constraints quashed that
thought. Regardless, plan B will let statisticians marvel and family researchers, maybe not. Data bases
use exact language. If you attempt to find an individual or seek information within a particular query,
use the tool bar. Click on edit, then, find ( any portion of the word ) to assist you in your search. It can
be frustrating and unforgiving. Sadly, I could not incorporate, perhaps, my easiest locating query in
this work. The last query, Master by Name & Action - Quick Check works good. Contact me for help if
need be. Avoid closing out ( X ) queries, maps, orders and photographs. It shuts down the whole web
site and you have to start over. Instead, use the back button ( < ) in the upper left hand corner.
Conflicting items are so noted. I did not assume at what rank an individual entered the service. That
accounts for the high number of early unknown movements, particularly among officers. A “ minor “
incident is of one day duration only. A “ major “ incident involves multiple days or movement
between locales. It reads big and prints small ? Within the campaign query, several “ special orders “
exist. Clicking on the link will let you see those reports. It gives you an idea of supplemental detail for
that incident. You may have to adjust the zoom levels between screens in the lower right hand corner
as you navigate about. Frankly, far too many reports exist to include them all and the web site building
tools are an adventure to use. Like a treasure hunt, all the data is there, you just need the patience
to mine it. Happy digging !

Needless to say, work of this magnitude took years to complete. One simple idea seemed to be all consuming. From a starting
point, various resources were consulted and are greatly acknowledged. I cannot begin to undertake selecting one aid as more
valuable than others. They are all excellent publications. I will, however, list them in order on how I built the detail to form the
basis of the whole.

| Author Information |
| Seventy-Second Regiment Ohio ( Veteran ) Volunteer Infantry On December 27, 1887, Judge John M. Lemmon of Clyde, Ohio, Late Captain of Company I, Seventy-Second Ohio ( an American Civil War Union military unit ), in co-operation with the Fremont Journal, compiled a Roll of Honor of soldiers who died in the service. It was intended to be complete and perfect after inviting corrections. Undertaking that request, with considerable care, I enhanced that listing to include a comprehensive statistical survey of the 1,364 ? members of the regiment. Also, supporting documentation regarding the regiment is included. As Captain Lemmon noted, “ I dare not claim it to be entirely correct. “ These data base queries are given to the public for information and to furnish me with rectifications, omissions or any other aid to make improvement. Also, during his speech on June 17, 1875, the claim of “ more than 10,000 miles “ of service will be confirmed by the newly calculated mileage chart. Even with an error rate of + or – 1 %, that boast is substantiated ! The added map section will aid in following the travels. Combined with the sorted Campaign Query, you will gain insight on these adventures. Family photographs are welcomed and greatly appreciated. Respectively submitted for your review, enjoyment and comment ! Thank-you ! Image “ Courtesy of the Ohio Historical Society “ |
