14th Ohio, Infantry
Nov. 24-25, 1863
Chattanooga, Tennessee
The Battle of Missionary Ridge was costly for both sides. The union suffered nearly 6,000 casualties (killed, wounded, and captured/missing), while the Confederacy suffered over 6,500. As Northern soldiers were burying the Confederate dead, one chaplain asked General Thomas if the Union troopers should bury the Confederates in groups according to their respective states. Thomas responded, "Mix 'em up. I'm tired of States' rights."Although costly, the price of victory was worth it for the North, because it completed the Federal breakout. The Yankees held uncontested control of Chattanooga, the "Gateway to the Lower South." Chattanooga became an important supply center for Sherman's Atlanta Campaign in 1864.
Regiment lost during service 5 Officers and 141 Enlisted men killed and mortally wounded and 1 Officer and 185 Enlisted men by disease. Total 332
