Hello,

My 95 year old father-in-law is writing the story of his grandfather
who served in the Civil War. I am looking for any information on the
47th OVVI or OVI.  We know a book was written about the 47th and there
is mention of Harry Hallsted in this book.  Any information anyone can
send me would be much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Denise Hallsted

Hi,
Despite the extensive bibliography Joe was so kind to point and Larry
was so kind to have posted.  Please don't forget local
newspapers.  For the most part these men came from Hamilton County
which means the 2 major newspapers to look at in microfilm are
available through inter-library loan from the OHS.  You may buy them
outright to use at your pace.  Many soldiers wrote letters as
"correspondents" during the war or just plain wrote to the
newspaper.  The 2 newspapers are cincinnati Commercial and Cincinnati
Gazette.  There was reference to another county.  Again the OHS has a
pamphlet noting the counties  and newspapers published there.  My
copy is at least 20 years old so the OHS may have expanded their
microfilm holdings.  But they do indeed have a list.  I think it
refers to what's in their collection and/or what they know where to
get the newspapers.

Ken
