99th Ohio Infantry

On November 24, 1863, the regiment took part with its brigade in the assault on Lookout Mountain, advanced to Rossville Gap on November 25, and then, with Grose's Brigade of Cruft's Division, assaulted the south end of Missionary Ridge. It reached the summit there about 5 P.M., helped turn the left flank of the Confederate line, and forced it from its position on the ridge. The line then pushed northward along the summit until joining troops that had carried the ridge at the center. On November 26, the regiment joined the pursuit to Ringgold. Its strength in action was 23 officers and 241 men, and its casualties were 3 men killed, 1 officer wounded, and 12 men wounded.
