The 67th Ohio Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment in the Union Army during the American Civil War.
The 67th Ohio Infantry Regiment was organized by consolidation of recruits for the 67th Ohio Infantry and 45th Ohio Infantry and mustered in for three years service under the command of Colonel Otto. [1] The regiment was initially armed with outdated Prussian Potsdam muskets, an unpopular weapon that the soldiers considered more dangerous to the shooter than the person being shot at, [2] aside from the flank companies which had Enfield rifles (the Potsdam muskets were replaced with Springfield rifles later that year). Colonel Burstenbinder was even less popular, being described in regimental histories as "an imbecile, imposter, and knave detested by all". He had completely failed to instill even a minimum of training and discipline in the regiment, and on March 12, 1862, he was arrested and court-martialed. [2] Lt. Col Alvin Voris assumed command of the regiment and led it in its first engagement at Kernstown. He was promoted to colonel shortly after the battle and led the regiment for the remainder of its service. At Ft. Waagner in 1863, Voris was wounded in the abdomen but remained on duty. He achieved a degree of medical history a decade after the war when he underwent surgery after complaining of severe abdominal pain. Doctors found half of a Minie ball lodged in his bladder, and Voris had gone with this condition for years without any apparent ill effects. He recovered successfully from the operation and lived until 1904 when he died at the age of 77.
