From Ohio History Central: <br /> <br /> With the outbreak of the American Civil War in April 1861 Ohio Governor William Dennison dispatched George McClellan and Jacob Cox to the state arsenal in Columbus to investigate the guns and other supplies that Ohio had on hand to help equip the state's militia units. The two men discovered a few crates of rusted smoothbore muskets mildewed harnesses for horses and some six-pound cannons that could not be fired. Despite the lack of equipment Dennison encouraged Ohio communities to revive the militia system and form units that they would send to Columbus the state capital. Dennison entrusted McClellan with command of these units asking him to create a cohesive and professional force out of the volunteers. Most of these units formed the basis of Ohio Volunteer Infantry units which the State of Ohio eventually provided to the United States government for the war against the South. State of Ohio unknown
