Excerpt from The Forty-First Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry in the War of the Rebellion: 1861-1865 It is the aim of this book to show, first, of what material the regiment it commemorates was composed; and second, the life of the raiment apart from its marches and battles. These latter are. matters of official record, but the real life of the regiment, its personnel and characteristics, are nowhere given in connected form. As to material, the regiment came from the Western Reserve of Ohio, and from counties south and west of the Reserve. The Reserve, largely settled by New Englanders, was a hotbed of antislavery sentiment always. It was the home of Giddings and Wade, of national repute in the abolition agitation days. Its only city, Cleveland, was the scene of several notable contests under the fugitive slave-law; and at one time, a popular frenzy which made the soberer ones tremble was quieted only by the majestic presence and admirable tract of Salmon P.Chase, then governor of the state. A slave girl, Lucy, claimed in Wheeling, W. Va., was confined in the county jail, awaiting the process of the United States court for the Northern District of Ohio. A mass meeting was assembled, companies coming from the Giddings district, forty miles to the eastward, and from Oberlin, to the westward. The Giddings district men carried hickory sticks, the bark removed, in imitation of the Connecticut colonists who met and turned back the kings stamp act commissioner, near Hartford. This demonstration was so threatening that Gov. Chase was summoned, and, coming by special train from the State capital, arrived when the crowd had been wrought to madness over the use of the county jails to serve the purpose of the hated fugitive slave-law.
