Military unit
The 85th Ohio Infantry Regiment, sometimes 85th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (or 85th OVI) was an infantry regiment in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Although recruited as a regiment, it never achieved full strength and was only able to muster four companies, which served as a battalion (often referred to as "Zinn's Battalion", a reference to Major Peter Zinn).
