The regiment remained with the Army of the Potomac till March, 1863. when it was sent to Kentucky, and in June, 1863, to re-enforce the Army of General Grant in Mississippi. In August, 1863, it joined the Army of the Potomac and participated in the capture of Petersburg, April 3. 1865. It was disbanded at Detroit, August 1. 1865.
This regiment belonged for a time to a brigade commanded by the distinguished general, Phil Kearney, one of the "bravest
64
HISTORY OF BERRIEN COUNTY
of the brave." As showing his high opinion of the character and efficiency of the Michi- gan regiments under his commamnd, I quote the following from "Michigan in the War."
"On one occasion, when the darkness had brought the day's battle to a close, wearied with excessive service, and desiring quiet for the night, he (General Kearney) ordered, 'Put a Michigan regiment on guard, so that I can sleep tonight.'
"An interesting episode in the history of this regiment, is the fact that a young woman said to have been good looking, en- listed at Flint and served for some time, without her sex being known. She enlisted under the name of 'Frank Thompson.' She served in various campaigns and battles of the regiment as a soldier, was often employed as a spy, going into the enemy's lines and furnished valuable information. She was with the regiment till April, 1863, when she deserted for fear that her sex had become known. Her future history is unknown." Michigan in the War, page 47.

CAPT. EDMUNDS' COMPANY.
This company was raised in May, 1861, consisting of one hundred and five members who were enlisted mainly from the town- ships of St. Joseph, Benton, Sodus and Royalton. It was the second company raised in the county. W. W. Edmunds was elected captain.
The company was unable to procure an assignment in a Michigan regiment, the reg- iments having already been filled. Captain Edmunds on his return from Lansing, where
67
HISTORY OF BERRIEN COUNTY
he went to see Governor Blair, fell from a steamboat into the St. Joseph river and was drowned.
Upon the death of Captain Edmunds, Jay J. Drake, of St. Joseph was elected cap- tain, but the members being unable to enlist in a Michigan regiment mostly went to Chicago, and enlisted in the 7th Missouri Infantry, the Sixth Wisconsin Infantry and the Douglass Brigade of Chicago. Mr. Drake was made a first lieutenant in the Seventh Missouri Regiment, and a majority of the company enlisted in this regiment, of which Mr. Drake subsequently became a captain. Mr. Drake is now living at St. Joseph.
H. C. Matrau and the members of Cap- tain Edmunds' original company, enlisted in the Sixth Wisconsin Infantry and became a captain in that company at the age of nineteen.
SIXTH INFANTRY.
,
This regiment was raised in the sum- mer of 1861. Company A was raised main- ly from the southeastern part of the county at Niles; Company B from the northwest- ern portion at St. Joseph; Company G was raised from Van Buren and Berrien coun- ties and Company K from Berrien and Cass counties at Niles. The regiment rendez- voused at Kalamazoo and left for the east in August, 1861, where it was detained at Baltimore for garrison duty for about six months. The regiment became very popu- lar with the people of Baltimore on account of its excellent discipline and the high de- gree of intelligence, good manners and sobriety manifested by both officers and men.
In 1862 it embarked at Newport News with General Butler's expedition to the Gulf of Mexico. Although a few companies had entered the city of New Orleans before, in the night time, the Sixth Michigan was the first regiment to enter in the day time, where
it took possession of the government mint.
This regiment remained in service in the Gulf States till the close of the war, be- ing mustered out at Greenville, Louisiana, August 20, 1865.
The regiment was in the following en- gagements :
1862 Sewell's Point, Va., Fort Jackson, Louisiana, Vicksburg, Grand Gulf, Amite River, all in Mississippi; Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
1863 Bayou Teche, Ticksaw River, Pouche- toula, Siege of Port Hudson, Tunica Bayou.
1864 Ashton, Arkansas, Fort Morgan, Spanish Fort, Fort Blakely, Fort Huger, all in Alabama.
1865 Fort Tracy, Alabama, and Siege of Mobile.
This regiment was actively engaged in the defense of Baton Rouge on August 5, 1862, against an assault of a heavy force under General Breckenridge. In this en- gagement Captain David Bacon of Niles, was severely wounded. On August 8, fol- lowing, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel. In a general order relat- ing to this engagament, General Butler says: "The Sixth Michigan fought rather by detachments than as a regiment, but de- serves the fullest commendation for the gal- lant behavior of its officers and men." In this important battle in which General Breckenridge's force was repulsed with heavy loss, General Williams of Detroit, who commanded the Union forces, was killed.
At the siege of Port Hudson, it took a prominent part and received the thanks of General Banks for gallant and efficient ser- vice during the siege. On July 10, 1863, it was converted into a regiment of heavy artillery, and on account of faithful and valuable services, was allowed to retain its infantry number and have the pay, clothing and equipment prescribed for troops of the artillery army.
68
HISTORY OF BERRIEN COUNTY
After the battle of Port Hudson, hear- ing that the regiment was to be transferred farther north, the members of the regiment, through Colonel Clark, requested General Butler that it might be placed under his com- mand. General Butler sent the application to the secretary of war with the following endorsement :
"Respectfully forwarded to the Hon. Sec- retary of War with the request that if the Sixth Michigan Volunteers is to be relieved, it may be assigned to my command, as I have the highest respect for officers and men, who have displayed distinguished gal- lantry and efficiency."
