On June 4, 1865, military authorities established the headquarters of the Union Armies of the West in Louisville. The 43rd Ohio Infantry Regiment was moved to Louisville at that time. For several weeks, Union soldiers crowded Louisville. On July 4, 1865, Union General William T. Sherman visited Louisville to conduct a final inspection of the Armies of the West.
