The regiment attained a brilliant fame soon after it entered service. It became a part of the famous "Iron brigade" composed of Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana troops, and did heroic service on the great battle field of Gettysburg. It arrived near Gettys- burg on July I, and immediately went into
'98
HISTORY OF BERRIEN COUNTY
action under Colonel Morrow. On the first day of the battle the loss of the Twenty- fourth regiment was 316 in killed, wounded and missing. At this battle Colonel Mor- row was wounded and taken prisoner, but shortly afterward exchanged. General Meredith, who commanded the Iron brigade in this action, in a dispatch to Colonel Mor- row shortly after the battle said: "No troops ever fought with more bravery than did those of the Twenty-fourth Michigan, on that occasion."
The regiment continued in service in the army of the Potomac till near the close of the war. Before returning home it was placed on garrison duty at Springfield, Illi- nois, where it had the honor of being selected as escort at the funeral of President Lincoln. It was mustered out of service at Detroit, June 30, 1865.
This regiment was in the following en- gagements.
1862 Fredericksburg.
1863 Port Royal, Fitzhugh Crossing, Chancellorsville, Westmorland, all in Va .; Gettysburg, Pa .; Mine Run.
1864 Raccoon Ford, Wilderness, Spottsyl- vania, North Anna, Tolopotomy, Cold Harbor, Bethseda Church, Peters- burg, Weldon R. R., Hicksford, Hatcher's Run.
1865 Dabney's Mills, Siege of Petersburg.
It is appropriate to make some mention of the brilliant officer who was the first col- onel of this famous regiment. General Mor- row, as he was called, from his appoint- ment as brigadier general and afterwards major general during the war, was living at Detroit at the time the regiment was organ- ized by him, but after the close of the war made his home at Niles, although as Colonel in the regular army he was unable to be at Niles but little of the time. He died in the service of the government and was buried at Niles. Before the war he had married Miss Belle Graves, daughter of Major William
Graves, a prominent pioneer of Berrien county, of whom mention will be made hereafter. Mrs. Morrow is now living at San Francisco with one of her children. General Morrow was an able officer, a genial and courteous gentleman, admired by all who knew him and a brilliant conversa- toinalist.
The following brief record from the rolls of the adjutant general's office tells its own story.

Morrow, commissioned Aug- ust 15, 1863; wounded in action at Gettys- burg, July 1, 1863; wounded at the battle in the Wilderness, May 5, 1864; brevetted brigadier general United States volunteers, August 1, 1864, for gallant and distin- guished services during the campaign be- fore Richmond; wounded in action at Petersburg, Virginia, February 6, 1865.

SEVENTEENTH INFANTRY.
This regiment had its rendezvous at Detroit. About twenty-seven members of this regiment were from Berrien county. ... The regiment became famous for its fight- ing qualities and was known as the "Stone- wall regiment" throughout the war. It re- ceived its name from the gallant charge it made at the battle of "South Mountain" on the stone walls, behind which the enemy with its batteries was strongly posted.
The battle of South Mountain was. fought on September 14, 1862, only about twenty days after the regiment had left its rendezvous. Three days after it was en- gaged in the great battle of Antietam.
It fully preserved throughout the war, the reputation which it gained at South: mountain.

NINETEENTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY. ..
This regiment was raised in the sum- mer of 1862 in southwestern Michigan, and the rendezvous for recruiting and or- ganization was at Dowagiac, Michigan. Company "I" of this regiment was organ- ized at St. Joseph and was first known as the Morrison guards after its promoter, Honorable A. H. Morrison, of St. Joseph. About twenty-five from this county be- longed to other companies.
The regiment left their rendezvous for service in Kentucky in September, 1862. It was shortly afterwards transferred to the Army of the Cumberland as a part of the reserve corps, in January, 1863. From this time onward it was often in many severe engagements. Within a month it lost two of its commanding officers. In the battle of Resaca, Georgia, May 15, 1864, Colonel Henry C. Gilbert was mortally wounded, while the regiment was making a success- ful charge against a rebel battery. On June 15, 1864, Colonel Eli A. Griffin, command- ing the regiment while defending his posi- tion against an assault of the enemy at Gol- gotha, Georgia, was mortally wounded, dy- ing the next day. On the 15th of Novem- ber, the regiment having joined the army of

Sherman, at Atlanta, set forth with its bri- gade on the great march to the sea.
It participated in the siege of Savannah until the first of January, 1860, when it moved northward through South Carolina to North Carolina, meeting the enemy at Averysboro, where a severe engagement en- sued in which the brigade to which the regi- ment belonged, made an assault upon the works of the enemy capturing them with many prisoners. The regiment was compli- mented by its commanding officer for its gallantry in this action.
Proceeding northward, it arrived at Alexandria on May 18, and the 24th day of May participated in the grand review of General Sherman's army in Washington. The losses of the regiment were 237 in killed, wounded and death from disease.

TWENTY-FIFTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized in the sum- mer of 1862 and rendezvoused at Kalama- zoo. On September 29th, 1862, it left for the scene of war. Three of its companies came from Berrien county, viz .: Company C from Berrien Springs and vicinity, Com- pany F from Niles and vicinity and Com- pany K from Buchanan and vicinity.
The regiment achieved considerable fame early in the war by repeiling a spirited as- sault made by the famous cavalry com- mander, General Morgan. This engagement took place at Tibbs Bend, July 4th, 1863. Prior to his assault, the colonel of the regi- ment, Colonel Moore, received the following communication from Ceneral Morgan :
"To the Commander of the U. S. Forces at Tibbs Bend.
I, John H. Morgan, Major General in the Army of the Confederate States, hereby demand the immediate and unconditional surrender of the troops and post under your orders.
John H. Morgan,
Maj. Gen., C. S. A."
Colonel Moore, upon receiving the com- munication told the bearer of the dispatch to present his best compliments to General Morgan and say to him that it was the Fourth of July; that on any other day he might possibly demand some consideration, but as it was the Fourth of July, he would please tell General Morgan, with his com- pliments, that he would see him damned first.
General Morgan at once made his attack,

and was severely repulsed with a loss of In 1864 Tunnell Hill, Rocky Face, Resaca, about two hundred and fifty men in killed Cassville, Etowah River, Kings- ton, Atoona, Pine Mountain, Lost Mountain, Culp's Farm, Kenesaw, Nickajack Creek, Chattahoocha River, Decator, Atlanta, East Point, Jonesboro, Rome, all in Georgia. and wounded. Companies E and K were in this engagement. Morgan was evidently im- pressed with the skill and heroism of the regiments employed against superior num- bers and wittily sent to Colonel Moore a dis- patch brevetting him a brigadier general in the United States Army. This battle was In 1865 Cedar Bluffs, Ala., Pine Creek, Tenn., Franklin, Tenn., Nashville, Tenn. known as the Green River engagement and after the battle the regiment was generally known as the "Green River" boys. The Its total loss in killed, wounded and death by disease was one hundred sixty-six. legislature of Kentucky passed a resolution thanking Colonel Moore and his regiment for their heroic defense. Of this engage- TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY. ment the Louisville Journal said, "Moore's repulse of a force equal to twenty or twenty- Field and Staff. five times his own was one of the most chivalrous affairs on record. Although it is unquestioned history, it reads like the wildest romance."
This regiment also acquired fame in the great battle at Franklin, November 30, 1864, and at Nashville, aided General Thomas in winning the most decisive victory achieved by either side during the whole war, when the immense army of General Hood was practically annihilated by defeat and prompt pursuit. This battle was executed and car- ried out exactly as planned on the eve of the engagement, by General Thomas, whose de- sign was not simply to win a battle, "but to make it a Waterloo, which would wipe the defeated army out of existence." The story of this battle reads like that of one of Alex- ander's victories, complete, decisive and easy to be understood. The regiment remained in active service in Georgia and Tennessee, until the latter part of the war when it was transported to North Carolina. It was mustered out at Salisbury, North Carolina, June 24th, 1865.
It was in the following engagements :
In 1865 Munfordville, Ky., Tibbs Bend, Ky., Kingston, Tenn., Mossy Creek, Tenn.
