He is the descendant of two veterans of the 26th Ohio. He spent the past eight years researching and writing the long overdue history of the “Old 26th.” Mr. Hill developed a web site for the 26th Ohio in 2002 that has received thousands of visits.
Through the web site, he met dozens of fellow descendants who shared their ancestor's story and/or asked for assistance and information about their relative's service during the war. He personally toured nearly ninety percent of the route that the regiment marched throughout the War. He has walked through dozens of cemeteries to photograph and document the burial sites of the 26th Ohio.
He walked all of the major battlefields where the regiment fought as well as other lesser known engagements. He visited numerous county libraries and historical societies, as well as the Ohio Historical Society, the State Library of Ohio, the National Archives, and national military parks to obtain primary source material for the regimental history.
Mr. Hill earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at Capital University, and his Masters of Social Work degree at The Ohio State University. A mental health social worker by profession, he spent his career researching the social histories of thousands of patients; a skill he honed that has served him as the author of this book.
He is most proud to identify thirteen ancestors who fought for the Union during the Civil War; four of whom died during the conflict.
Mr. Hill is an active brother in the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, belonging to Governor William Dennison Camp No. 1, Columbus, Ohio.weniger sehen
