Brief history of the 7th

---

Immediately following the surrender of Fort Sumter President Lincoln issued
a proclamation to raise troops to thwart the Southern uprising. The initial
call was for 75,000 troops and enthusiasm was so high that the State of Ohio
had enough volunteers to fill the quota alone. It was on April 27th, 1861,
that the order was given to form the 7th Ohio from companies gathered at
Camp Taylor, Cleveland. These companies represented a thorough cross section
of northeastern Ohio communities. Ten companies comprised the original format
of the Regiment.
