TENTH REGIMENT, THIRD BRIGADE,
(Switzerland County) - Fifteen
companies
were organized in
Switzerland county between June 17th, 1861 and August 29th,
1863. During
the first two years of the war, while martial enthusiasm was at
its greatest height, drills and parades were regularly and
frequently
held.
A portion of this command
rendered valuable
service in guarding rebel prisoners at Camp Morton, in the summer of
1862 and
was always ready when called upon by the proper authorities to do duty
at any
point.
At the time of Kirby Smith's
and Bragg's
invasion of Kentucky, eight hundred officers and men of the Tenth,
under command
of Lieutenant Colonel Stepleton, volunteered their services and, under
the order
of the Governor, guarded the border thoroughly,
and held themselves in
readiness to march to Louisville to aid in the defense of that city. At
one time
the Tenth marched to Wasaw, Kentucky, for the protection of that place,
and on
several occasions was called out to repel threatened invasions. Three
companies
at another time laid upon their arms along the Ohio every night for
three weeks,
watching and guarding against guerrilla bands, which were swarming in
the border
counties on the opposite shore.
Meager and imperfect
reports from the officers of the command preclude the
possibility of
enumerating the varied and important services which it rendered, and
which
secured for it a high rank among the most efficient regiments of the
Legion.
