On Nov. 25, 1863, the 98th Ohio Infantry, commanded by Maj. James M. Shane and serving in John Beatty's Brigade, Davis' Division, 14th Corps, was part of Davis' Division when it was concentrated at Caldwell's crossing opposite the mouth of the west Chickamauga before the arrival of General Sherman's forces. It covered the crossing of that command over the Tennessee on the night of Nov. 23 and the forenoon of the 24th. Throughout the battle of the 25th it acted as a reserve to Sherman, but its infantry was not engaged. On the 26th the regiment skirmished heavily beyond Chickamauga Station, and the next day near Ringgold. Its casualties were 2 men killed and 6 men wounded, for a total of 8 men.
