Biography -  Americus Vespucius Rice

Rice, Americus V., brigadier-general, was born in the
state of Ohio and upon the outbreak of the Civil war entered
the military service as captain in the 21st Ohio infantry,
three months' troops. He served with this regiment throughout
its term of enlistment, participating in engagements at Ripley
and Scarey creek, W. Va., and was honorably mustered out on
Aug. 12, 1861. He re-entered the service on Sept. 2, as
captain in the 57th Ohio infantry, and with it left the state
in Feb., 1862. With his command he participated in the battle
of Shiloh, having been promoted to lieutenant-colonel on Feb.
8, 1862, and at Chickasaw Bayou five days of severe fighting
were experienced. At Arkansas Post, at the head of his
regiment he led the brigade in a charge on the works which were
captured after a desperate battle of three hours, and on May
14, 1863, he was promoted to colonel. He served through the
siege and until the capitulation of Vicksburg, and then his
regiment being sent to East Tennessee, he participated in the
battle of Missionary ridge. He continued with his regiment,
when not absent on account of serious wounds, through the
Atlanta campaign, the march through the Carolinas, and on May
31, 1865, in recognition of his distinguished services he was
given the rank of brigadier-general of volunteers. He remained
in the service until Jan. 15, 1866, when, all disturbances
having ceased he was honorably mustered out and returned to his
home in Ohio, where he became quite prominent in civil life.
