Charles Hibbard's Civil War Pages
by Kathy JonesCharles was about average height for his time, standing
5 feet, 10 inches tall. His complexion was light, with gray
eyes and brown hair. Like most residents of the area,
Charles was a farmer. Up until the war broke out, he had
spent his entire life at home in and around Spring Hill,
among his family and close friends. Unlike many
others who dashed off to the nearest recruiting
office following the firing on Fort Sumter, Charles
remained at home during that first year of the war.
Perhaps his family did not want him going off to war,
or he may have felt that he was needed at home. Instead
he waited until the next year, after he had celebrated his
21st birthday. On August 20 of 1862 Charles Ambrose
Hibbard and his younger brother, Francis Elisha, enlisted
in Capt. George Ansell's Company I, 67th Ohio Volunteer
Infantry. Apparently Charley's enlistment came as a
surprise to at least one person. In a letter from Spring
Hill dated December 1, 1862, a friend wrote to him:
"Charles I think you took rather a sudden start to the army for I did
not know that you had enlisted [until] I herd you had gone I never was
so suprised as I was when I heard of it I dident know as you had the
least thought of enlisting but I wish you good luch and safe return
that is all I can do you know."Go to Charle's Civil War Pages to read more!
