The Twenty-fourth Michigan Infantry was largely recruited in the eastern part of the state and rendezvoused at Detroit. The regiment was mustered into service on the 15th day of August, 1862, under command of Colonel Henry A. Morrow. Its service was almost wholly in the east and it participated in a large num- ber of battles, notably at Fredericksburg, Port Royal, Chancel- lorsville, The Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Cold Har- bor and the siege of Petersburg.
The regiment was eventually ordered to Springfield, Illinois, for special duty and while there acted as escort at the funeral of our first martyred president, the immortal Abraham Lincoln. It was mustered out of the service at Detroit, June 30, 1865.

TWENTY-EIGHTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY
Ho! comrades, see the starry flag, broad waving at our head! Ho! comrades, mark the tender light on the dear emblem spread! Our fathers' blood has hallowed it, 'tis part of their renown, And palsied be the caitiff that would pull its glories down.
The Twenty-eighth was organized by consolidating the Twenty- eighth, which rendezvoused at Marshall, and the Twenty-ninth, which rendezvoused at Kalamazoo. The several companies were mustered into service at different dates, and the organization of the regiment was completed at Kalamazoo, October 26, 1864, with an enrolment of 886 officers and men.
The Twenty-eighth left Kalamazoo, October 26th, for Louis- ville, Kentucky, and upon arrival was sent to Camp Nelson, Ken- tucky, where it took charge of a wagon train en route for Nash- ville, Tennessee, where it arrived December 5th, and reported for duty to General Thomas.
The regiment, under command of Colonel Wheeler who had formerly served in the Twenty-third Infantry, took a gallant. part in the battle of Nashville Dec. 12th to the 16th, in repelling the Confederates under General Hood, who was defeated with great loss and driven in confusion out of the state.
After the battle of Nashville, the Twenty-eighth was assigned to the Twenty-third Corps, and when at Louisville, Kentucky, was ordered early in January, 1865, to proceed with its corps to Alex- andria, Virginia, where it embarked upon transports for More- head City, North Carolina. It then moved to Newberne and then to Wilmington, to cooperate with General Sherman's army, then marching north through the Carolinas.
At Wise Forks, the Twenty-eighth was engaged for three days, the enemy making determined assaults on the Union lines, but were repulsed in every instance. The Twenty-eighth was in the thickest of the fighting, and lost during the engagements seven killed and thirteen wounded. The regiment then marched inland to Kingston and reached Goldsboro, North Carolina, on the 21st, where it was assigned to duty in guarding the Atlanta and North Carolina railroad.
After General Lee and General Johnston surrendered, the Twenty- eighth was on duty at Raleigh, Charlotte, Wilmington and New- berne until it was mustered out of service, June 5, 1866, at Raleigh, North Carolina. The regiment at once returned to Detroit, Michi- gan, where it was paid and disbanded, June 8, 1866.
Total enrolment, 980; killed in action, 7; died of wounds, 3; died of disease, 101; discharged for disability (wounds and dis- ease), 47.

CHAPTER X
CIVIL WAR CAVALRY
FIRST MICHIGAN-THIRD CAVALRY-JUSTICE TO CAVALRY REGI- MENTS-FOURTH MICHIGAN CAVALRY-CAPTURE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS-NINTH MICHIGAN-CAPTURE OF MORGAN-FIRST AND LAST.
The combat deepens, On, ye brave, Who rush to glory or the grave! Wave, Michigan, all thy banners wave, And charge with all thy chivalry!
The First Michigan Cavalry was organized at Detroit and mus- tered into the service of the government September 13, 1861, with an enrolment of 1,144 officers and enlisted men.
The regiment left the state September 29, 1861, for Washing- ton, D. C., and went into camp at Frederick, Maryland, at which place it remained for several months. It comprised a part of Gen- eral Banks' forces and in February, 1862, moved to Harper's Ferry and later entered the Shenandoah valley, advancing as far as Winchester and pushing the enemy before them. The regi- ment distinguished itself in many skirmishes while advancing up the valley, and made a number of brilliant charges which at- tracted the attention of the commanding general and which re- ceived complimentary mention in orders. Banks had too meager a force to hold his advanced position and so fell back to Williams- port fighting most of the way, as the enemy had succeeded in get- ting between him and Willamsport and at the same time were pressing his rear with a force that outnumbered his command. In this movement the First Cavalry did brilliant work and only fell back when greatly outnumbered by the Confederate forces.
The regiment remained at Williamsport until June 12th, when it began to take part in General Pope's Virginia campaign. It was in Banks' command when he fought the battle of Cedar Moun- tain.
The regiment was engaged in the battle of Manassas, August 30, and suffered severely, the brave Colonel Brodhead losing his life on that occasion.
The regiment afterward became a part of the famous Michigan Cavalry Brigade commanded by the brilliant young General Cus-

ter, and remained with that brigade until the close of the war. The regiment participated in Sheridan's celebrated raid in the rear of Lee's army, and took part in the severe fighting that occurred in the advance upon Richmond and upon the return.
After the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, the First was ordered to North Carolina, but returned to Washing- ton in time to take part in the Grand Review at Washington on the 23d of May, 1865, after which it was ordered to the then far west and suffered many hardships in a campaign against the In- dians. This action on the part of the war department was the subject of severe criticism. The war was ended and the regiment had completed its term of service, which, like all the volunteer troops, was "three years or during the war" and to exact this further service after the brilliant record made by the regiment, was regarded as rank injustice.
The official records show that the First Cavalry participated in seventy different battles and skirmishes with the Confederate forces, some of the principal ones being as follows: Winchester, March 23, 1862; Winchester, May 24, 1862; Cedar Mountain, Au- gust 9, 1862; Manassas, August 30, 1862; Gettysburg, July 3. 1863; Culpepper Court House, September 14, 1863; Richmond, March 1, 1864; Wilderness, May 6 and 7, 1864; Cold Harbor, May 30 and June 1, 1864, and again at the same place July 21, 1864; Winchester, August 11, 1864; Appomattox, April 8 and 9, 1865; and with the Indians at Willow Springs, Dakota, August 12, 1865.
The regiment was paid off and disbanded at Salt Lake, Utah, March 10, 1866, after four and one-half years of hard and faith- ful service.
Total enrolment, 2,490; killed in action, 96; missing in action, 40; died of wounds, 52; died as prisoners of war, 58; died of di- sease, 172; accidentally killed, 4; drowned, 2; killed by Indians, 1; discharged for disability, 209.
