Description

We Were The Ninth is a translation, carefully edited and thoroughly annotated, of crucial Civil War regiment. The Ninth Ohio–composed of Ohio Germans mostly from Cincinnati–saw action at Wealthy Mountain and Carnifex Ferry in West Virginia, Shiloh, Corinth, Perryville, Hoover’s Gap, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Chickamauga.

The Ninth started the War amid misgivings (Would a German-speaking regiment within the Union Army cause chaos?) and ended its active service a few of the honored units. It continued as an active German-speaking veterans’ organization. Constantin Grebner published this significant history, in German, in 1897 and noted that it “is intended as neither a history of the war nor a definitive account of battles. Moderately, it’s restricted to a straight-forward, veracious report of what happened to The Ninth, and to recounting as appropriately as imaginable The Ninth’s experiences as a wartime regiment.” Frederic Trautmann’s English translation is faithful to Grebner’s original text, preserving its integrity at the same time as maintaining its energy, precision, and grace.
