I am the son of Col. Russell and Harriet A. Thayer Hastings. The old farm house where I began life still stands (1899), one mile north of Greenfield village on the Bernardston road. The little (then red) school house where I learned my A.B.C.'s also still stands, as bleak and forlorn as is the usual country school house. There was one oak standing then, now bleakness reigns supreme. … THE CIVIL WAR A.D. 1861 The cause of this stupendous Civil War has been written upon from all sides, many different causes under as many different names have been given. I have no hesitancy in giving the plain correct name - Slavery. … 1861. October 1st. Broke camp and returned to Gauley Mountain within eight miles of Gauley Bridge. Here we formed a permanent camp, naming it Camp Ewing. We sat down to await the worst enemy any army ever has, and one sure to attack a new army - Typhoid Fever. Nearly every man in my regiment was sick and more than one hundred died. At one time there were only two officers for duty, Lieutenant Thompson and myself. We went on guard every other day as guards must be kept up, for the enemy followed us on our retreat, and although not desirous of battle, he annoyed our outposts. One morning I came in from guard duty thinking my turn to break down had come. My Captain Moore was sick in his tent, Lieutenant Sellick B. Warren was sick at hospital and I went to my bunk feeling most miserable. I sent to the sutlers for a pint bottle of "Pike's Cordial", cherry cordial. It was a very palatable decoction of whiskey, water, sugar and something with the taste of wild cherry (might have been prussic acid). I took a good swig, put the bottle by my side and dropped off to sleep. When I next awakened I took another swig. I was in my bunk all that day and night, awakening the next morning with an empty bottle and the fever broken. I accused our cook of having drunk my cordial, but I concluded he hadn't and that my swigs must have been larger than I thought. I was excused from duty that day, but the following I was all right. Our Brigade was encamped within an area of half a mile, all sick with typhoid. How disheartening it was to hear the band playing dirges and the volley fire over the graves of our comrades! This became so frequent that an order was issued stopping such things. Only one of my intimate friends died (David Houliston, of Willoughby), though nearly all became ill and went to hospital. The convalescent sick and frequently those still very ill were sent to the hospital at Cincinnati. We did not have ambulances enough to carry them to the boat at Loup Creek, over twenty miles, so the larger number were transported in the army wagon which had brought us supplies. Think of taking a typhoid patient from his cot, jolting him over the rough mountain roads in an army wagon with only a little straw to lie upon. Strange to say none seemed the worse and some improved. The idea of going home worked marvels. From the hospital at Cincinnati they were furloughed home for thirty days. Our ranks were much reduced, but enough were left to keep up an organization. When these furloughed sick returned, the rest of us at different times during the winter took our furlough of thirty days at home. 1861. November 13th. The fever had abated by this time and many of the sick had returned to duty. The Brigade, consisting of the 23rd, 26th and 30th Ohio Regiments, broke camp at 7 A.M. and took up the march towards Gauley Bridge, the 23rd in advance. How glad we were to leave that much hated Camp Ewing; and then we were marching towards Ohio; perhaps we would be taken out of West Virginia and sent to some more important post. How we cheered when the band struck up, "Oh, ain't I glad I'm out of the Wilderness". We were now trained soldiers, had become well drilled and disciplined, had had typhoid fever and now were as tough as nuts, nothing but bullets could hurt us. We had a jolly rollicking day's march, reached Gauley Bridge, kept on down the river towards the boat landing, crossed the Kanawha River on the ferry, thus being on the boat landing side at Loup Creek ten miles away. When we took up our line of march again it was not towards Loup Creek, but to the left up Cotton Mountain and southward toward Fayetteville. We didn't cheer so very much as we began the ascent. Back into the wilderness we turned, and after one and a half day's march reached Fayetteville, nearly opposite and across the New River from the hated Camp Ewing. … ==========================================================================================
