THIRTEENTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY
Onward, onward, then to Battle, For bright Freedom points the way, Though the grape shot thickly rattle, Onward, onward, to the fray.
The Thirteenth Michigan Infantry was organized at Kalama- zoo, under the direction of Colonel Charles E. Stuart of that city, and was mustered into the service of the United States, January 17, 1862, with an enrolment of 935 officers and enlisted men. It left the state February 12th, under command of Colonel Michael Shoemaker (Colonel Stuart having resigned), and proceeded to Nashville, Tennessee, where it was assigned to Wood's division of General Buell's army, and marched to Pittsburgh Landing to re- inforce General Grant, arriving just after the two days' battle with the Confederate forces under Generals Johnston and Beau- regard.
General Buell moved his headquarters to Dechard, north of Stevenson, on the line of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railway, and left the Thirteenth with a small garrison to hold Stevenson.
The enemy attacked before the Union forces left Stevenson, but were repulsed, and then a long march continued night and day over horrible roads across the mountains until Cowan was reached, where Colonel Shoemaker learned the army had left Dechard. He pressed forward and reached Tullahoma September 2nd, where he joined General Smith's division of Buell's army. Colonel Shoemaker was highly complimented by the commanding general for bringing in all his forces, artillery, and baggage, without loss of either men or equipment. The Thirteenth, with the balance of the army, then fell back to Nashville and joined in the pursuit of General Bragg's army to Louisville, Kentucky. In December the regiment belonged to the Third Brigade, First Division, General Thomas' corps, and joined the army commanded by General Rose- crans on his advance upon Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

STONE RIVER
The regiment was engaged at Stone River the 30th and 31st of December, 1862, and in January, 1863, where it distinguished it- self by its desperate valor and was most warmly commended for the heroic work that checked the onward rush of the Confederate forces.
The brigade of which the Thirteenth formed a part was com- manded by Colonel Charles G. Harker, and was detached from its division and sent to the extreme right of the Union line, where the enemy had crushed that wing, when it formed a line in the immediate front of the Confederates and a desperate conflict com- menced. The Union forces were steadily pressed back by the enemy, but the Thirteenth held its position until nearly sur- rounded, when it fell back a short distance and reformed, con- tinually showing a bold front to the enemy. Colonel Shoemaker ordered a bayonet charge and the Thirteenth sprang forward with a yell, driving the enemy from the field in confusion and capturing a large number of prisoners. The regiment lost nearly one third of its strength in killed and wounded in the action on this part of the field. It recaptured two pieces of artillery of the Sixth Ohio Battery. which had been abandoned when the Union forces were driven back by the furious onslaught of the enemy.
The Thirteenth commenced its advance toward Chattanooga in August and marched over the Cumberland mountains, crossed the Tennessee river at Shell Mound and was one of the first regiments to march into Chattanooga on the morning of the 13th of Septem- ber. It proceeded almost at once to Chickamauga, where it was engaged the 19th and 20th of September, coming in contact with the enemy near Lee and Gordon's Mills, and before the close of the battle lost 107 killed, wounded and missing, out of a total of 217, the number of officers and men the regiment carried into action. Such a record tells how the Thirteenth sustained its part in this historic engagement far more eloquently than words can describe.
After the battle of Chickamauga the regiment was in the trenches about Chattanooga and took part in the movements about Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge.
In November, 1863, the Thirteenth was organized with other regiments into a brigade of engineers and was attached to the headquarters of the Army of the Cumberland. In January, 1864, it veteranized and returned to Kalamazoo, where it arrived on the 12th and was furloughed for thirty days.
It returned to Chattanooga on the 20th of April with a large number of recruits and was soon engaged in the construction of

military hospitals on Lookout Mountain, and in the pursuit of Forrest's forces until the month of November, when it joined the army under the command of General Sherman, being assigned to the Second Brigade, First Division of the Fourteenth Corps. The regiment marched with Sherman to the sea and reached Savannah on the 16th of December. After the surrender of the city the regiment continued with Sherman's army through South Carolina and North Carolina, meeting with Johnston and Hardee's forces at Bentonville, on the 19th of March, 1865, where it sustained a severe loss. This was the last battle of importance fought by Sherman's army.
After Johnston's surrender the regiment marched to Richmond and thence to Washington, where it participated in the grand re- view.
On the 9th day of June the regiment proceeded to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was mustered out of the service, proceeding to Jackson, Michigan, where it was paid off and disbanded July 27, 1865.
