One Hundred and Sixty-eighth Infantry. - Col., Conrad
Garis; Lieut.-Col., George W. Barrere; Maj., Emery C. Newton.
This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison, from May 12 to
19, 1864, to serve for 100 days.  It was composed of the 66th
battalion, Ohio National Guard, from Highland county; 67th bat-
talion, from Fayette county; and one company of the 35th bat-
talion, from Clarke county.  On June 9 it proceeded to Coving-
ton, Ky., and moved down the Covington & Lexington railroad.
Co. B, with 20 men from Co. G, was detached at Falmouth to
guard the railroad bridge, and at other points companies were
stationed to protect the road.  On June 10 a detachment of 300
occupied Cynthiana.  At 6 o'clock on the morning of June 11 a
large force of Confederate cavalry moved against the town, in
which engagement the regiment lost 7 men killed, 18 wounded and
280 captured.  That portion of the regiment under command of
Maj. Newton remained in Kentucky until July 10, when it was or-
dered to Camp Dennison to join the paroled prisoners.  It was then sent to Cincinnati, where it performed guard duty until
mustered out on Sept. 8, 1864.
