82nd Ohio Infantry

The 82nd Ohio monument is located along Howard Avenue on the 11th Corps July 1st battle line.

The regiment was raised from the counties of Ashland, Harden, Logan, Marion, and Union in December 1861 at Kenton. The first commander at Gettysburg was Col. James S. Robinson (1817-1892), a newspaper editor from Kenton. Robinson later went on to become a general and to serve two terms in Congress. He was wounded on July 1. Command fell to Lt. Col. David Thomson (1825-1893), a banker from Kenton.

There is also a marker to this unit in the National Cemetery.
