(5 mss boxes) Abstract: William Rufus Putnam, Jr., served as commander in charge of Camp Marietta, a Marietta, Ohio, training camp, during the Civil War. Military orders and correspondence related to that position are included in this collection. Also included is some of the information collected by the Military Committee of Washington County, Ohio, regarding the Civil War service of area soldiers. Identification: Language: English Biography/History William Rufus Putnam, Jr., (1812-1881) grandson of Marietta founder Rufus Putnam, played an important role on the Ohio home front during the Civil War. Serving as commander of the militia at Camp Marietta and as chairman of the Military Committee of Washington County, he directed the training and equipage of all regiments organized in Marietta. During Morgan‟s Raid in 1863, he directed the operations of the militia engaged in repulsing the Confederates from Southeastern Ohio. While the State of Ohio made important contributions to the Union cause during the Civil War, it was, for the most part, spared the fear and destruction of direct military action. The only exception occurred in July of 1863, when Confederate General John Hunt Morgan invaded southern Ohio with about 2,000 cavalrymen. Pursued through twenty counties, Morgan‟s men stole property, tore up railroads, and destroyed buildings, bridges, and farms. During the course of the raid, it was believed that the rebels would try to re-cross the Ohio River at one of the fords near Marietta. Militia from Washington, Monroe, Noble, Meigs, Morgan, Perry, Hocking, and Athens counties, totaling 12,000 men, reported to Colonel William R. Putnam at Camp Marietta. Putnam organized these unarmed, unequipped men into battalions, and sent them to guard area roads, railroads, bridges, and fords. Many of them participated in a battle at Buffington Island, Meigs County, where approximately 1,000 of Morgan‟s cavalrymen were captured. Morgan and the remainder of the rebel forces made their way north, and were captured in Columbiana County on July 26, 1863. The route of Morgan‟s Raid did not pass through Washington County, largely because the militia accomplished their mission of obstructing Morgan‟s movements and preventing further destruction of property. Morgan‟s Raid was the longest sustained cavalry raid of the Civil War, covering about 1,000 miles of territory. While it was not a significant episode in the history of the war, it was a major event in southern Ohio.

Scope and Content The William Rufus Putnam, Jr., Collection contains two series of documents related to the involvement of southeastern Ohio in the Civil War. The first includes communications and military orders related primarily to activities during Morgan‟s Raid, and the second contains Washington County veterans‟ descriptions of their Civil War service. Series I of the William Rufus Putnam, Jr., Collection contains telegrams and messages from David Tod, governor of Ohio, and Ambrose E. Burnside, Union general, as well as many officers and civilians involved in activities in Southeastern Ohio during Morgan‟s Raid. Copies of Colonel Putnam‟s telegrams to others provide a detailed account of the situation at Camp Marietta. The communications are concerned with organizing and arming militia companies and describing the movements of Morgan and his men. Also contained in this series are the general and special orders issued by Colonel Putnam from Camp Marietta during Morgan‟s incursion into Southeastern Ohio. The orders reveal the difficulties and confusion encountered by a community unprepared for military action. Putnam‟s responsibilities included obtaining adequate arms and munitions, moving militia companies, taking charge of steamboats, prohibiting sale of liquor, providing rations, and arresting deserters. Copies of accounts for services rendered and supplies furnished by private citizens highlight the extent of the emergency. Series I is comprised of approximately 396 items. In addition to his role as commander of Camp Marietta, William Rufus Putnam, Jr., served as chairman of the Military Committee of Washington County. Shortly after the conclusion of the Civil War, this committee began collecting materials for a history of Washington County‟s efforts “toward the suppression of the Great Rebellion.” Letters were sent to veterans, asking for biographical information and accounts of their military service. Series II consists of the responses to this call for information. Included are letters, poems, and lengthy narratives that depict the experiences of Washington County men and women during the Civil War. Series II contains about 50 items. Statement of Arrangement The collection is arranged with Series I at the front. The telegrams and correspondence within Series I are arranged in chronological order, followed by the reports and receipts, also in chronological order, and then by claims for services, and claims for supplies. Next in Series I are the general orders, and then the special orders, each of which is arranged in numerical order. Finally in Series I are two order books from Camp Marietta. Series II, which contains information about the Civil War service of Washington County soldiers, is arranged in alphabetical order by surname of the subject.
