BIRGE'S WESTERN SHARPSHOOTERS
Whether on the scaffold high, Or in the battle's van, The finest place for man to die, Is where he dies for man.
In September, 1861, a company of sharpshooters was enlisted in Van Buren and Berrien counties. It offered its services to General Fremont and was by him ordered to Benton Barracks, Missouri, where it was assigned to the above named regiment, which was af- terward designated as the Sixty-sixth Illinois. Company D was the only Michigan company in the organization.
The accoutrements of this regiment were not of a kind pre- scribed by the army regulations, but consisted of a bullet pouch of bear-skin covering and a powder horn or flask. In the bullet pouch was a compartment where the soldier carried screw driver, bullet mould and patch cutter-singular implements for a soldier-but Birge's men moulded their own bullets, greased and patched them with as much care as would the most expert hunter and used them with the same effect, every man among them being an expert with

the use of the rifle. The guns that these men carried were not of the regulation army pattern, but were hunters' rifles of the very best that could be had-muzzle loaders of course, as were the best guns of that day-and each soldier selected such a weapon as best suited his judgment or fancy.
It had been the intention of General Fremont to dress this regi- ment in a complete hunters' garb, but General Halleck, his su- perior officer, would not permit it to be so done and the only pe- culiar thing about the uniform worn by the men was the hat, which was a gray sugar-loaf shaped affair adorned by three squirrel tails peculiarly draped over the crown, by which feature they came to be known by both friend and foe as the "Squirrel Tails."
The regiment was in service nearly four years, during which time it was actively engaged in various battles and engagements in the states of Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
