The last of November his regiment was ordered to Nashville and during the winter was engaged with the enemy at Dog Creek, below Nashville. The first of April, 1863, his regiment and brigade were detached and sent to Carthage, Tennessee. Remained at this place until his regiment and brigade were ordered to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and on the 23rd a sharp engagement took place on top of Lookout Mountain
just as Rosecrans' army was entering town from Chickamauga. Early in December his regiment and brigade were ordered to Knoxville to reinforce Burnside, and during the winter took an active part in the operations in East Tennessee. Returned to Cleveland and early in May entered the Atlanta Campaign. His regiment was hotly engaged at Resaca, Georgia, May 14, 1864, where it suffered heavy loss. In this engagement he was wounded in the left hip by fragment of exploded shell. He was with his regiment during the remainder of the campaign, and at its conclusion returned to Tennessee with his command and was actively engaged in the Hood Campaign in the
fall and winter of 1864. The last hard battle was at Nashville, December 15-16.
