Here’s the interesting part. Under Cox’s command was Rutherford B. Hayes. I believe he was future 24th president. He was in command of the Ohio regiments that were part of the command. And he personally occupied the McNutt house and used it as his headquarters ... They were here only a short time. He made some official reports that he sent back to General Cox while he was at Princeton.
