once again joined the Army of the Potomac.
On the 25th of March we proceeded to Harrison's Landing and bivouacked; moved to City Point on the 26th, and from there to Hancock Station, where we arrived the 27th. Early the morning of the 29th the column marched over the Welden road toward Ream's Station and spent the night marching in the mud and rain in the vicinity of Dinwiddie Court- House. Making a reconnaissance on the White Oak road to Five Forks, March 30th, we found the enemy

in force. He attacked in superior numbers, forcing back the Sixth Pennsylvania and Second United States Cavalry regiments when the Seventh Michigan went to the rescue. The report of Lieutenant-Colonel Briggs tells how this was done :
"On the morning of March 30th, the Seventh Michi- gan, numbering less than three hundred men, after marching all night in the rain on heavy roads, received orders to move with promptness to the support of the Sixth Pennsylvania and Second United States Cavalry, holding a position on the extreme right of our line, which were strongly pressed by a heavy force of the enemy. The enemy was charging down upon the re- treating force confident of success. The Seventh, formed in column of squadrons, sabres drawn, moved gallantly forward in a countercharge. With shouts of ' Sheridan and Victory" they dash into the fire of death. A moment, and the shock of contending arms and the shouts of contestants filled the air. A Ino- ment, and the Rebel line wavered, then broke and fed the field in a confused rout, leaving in our hands the commanding officer of their brigade and a large num- ber of prisoners, the remainder fleeing for safety be- hind the fortifications, a distance of three miles, closely followed by the Seventh. For the part the regiment took in this action it received the compliments of the commanding general."
Bivouac was made at night on the Five Forks road.
The 21st of March was enlivened by a sharp engage- ment at the intersection of the Dinwiddie and Five

Forks road, from where we fell back to the Dinwiddie Court-House and bivouacked. At break of day, April 1st, we were in the saddle pressing back Pickett's infantry toward Five Forks. By two o'clock the enemy was driven within his entrenehments at Five Forks, and then began the battle of that name, in the final charge of which the Seventh had a prominent place, capturing many prisoners and pursuing the enemy until after darkness set in. We bivouacked upon the battlefield.
In the early morning of April 2d, the regiment was on the march, pushing the rebel cavalry towards Scott's Corners, picking up prisoners all the time, and marching most of the night. The pursuit did not lag upon the 3d, when there fell into our hands a large number of prisoners and wagons and five pieces of artillery. The 4th of April the march was taken up to Amelia Court-House and Jetersville, skirmishing with the enemy, and making captures on the way. We remained in this vicinity until the 5th, engaged in corraling Lee's army. On the 6th of April we pro- eeeded toward Rice's Station, and our brigade secured possession of a crossroad between Deatonsville and Appomattox, interposing between the head of Gordon's and rear of Ewell's Rebel infantry columns, and com- pletely isolating Ewell's corps. This brought on the battle of Sailor - Creek, one of the severest actions of the war, which resulted in the capture of Ewell's whole corps, with all it- artillery and munitions of war. The part contributed by the Michigan cavalry

brigade to this result was not secondary to that of any other troops engaged. This was the mortal blow previous to the sur- render, although a show of resistance was kept up for a few days longer.
Before daybreak, on the 7th of April, we were on the march to Prince Edward Court- House, bivouacking at Buffalo Creek. We marched on the Sth to Prospect Station and from E. P .. HAVENS, First Lieutenant Company "A." thence toward Ap- pomattox Depot, where we had a spirited brush with the rebels, capturing much property and a lot of munitions of war. We now had the enemy completely corraled, and he was kept from feeling that he was in any way neglected, by means of all day and all night skirmish- ing. After standing "to horse" all night in open order of column by squadrons, about four o'clock on the morning of the 9th, in the gray of dawn, a line of the enemy's skirmishers was discovered advancing. The Seventh was at once deployed and soon hotly en- gaged. Under the steady stream of lead poured out

by our Spencer carbines the advance of the enemy was checked, held for a time, and then forced slowly back. Our battery took a position upon a rise of ground, and for a while suffered severely from the rebel sharpshooters who were posted in trees. The First Michigan had three color-bearers shot in this engagement. About nine o'clock A. M. we were re- lieved by the colored infantry of the Twenty- fourth Corps, and being ordered to the right we moved off in columns 1 of "fours" at the trot, through open woods. As 4 we emerged -- from the woods into a clearing, Lee's whole .- army, deployed CAPTAIN ROLLA GLOVER. for action, came into view and our bugles were sounding the charge.
Just at this juncture several horsemen emerged from the woods of the enemy's lines, the leader waving a white signal of truce. Our columns were stayed and Colonel Gen. G. Briggs, of the Seventh Michigan Cavalry, galloped out to meet them. In answer to

Colonel Briggs' demand as to their mission, it was replied that they bore proposals for a suspension of hostilities and wished to communicate with the General commanding. Colonel Briggs conducted them through an advanced line of his regiment, under connnand of Captain William H. Fisher, to General Custer, to whom they proceeded at a rapid pace. General Custer said that he had no authority to suspend hostili- ties, but if some assurance could be given by those in authority on the other side that an armistice was desired pre- liminary to a surrender, and W.M. H. FISHER, Captain Company "A." that the trice was not merely a ruse to gain time, he would stay the charge until the assurance could be given, and until General Sheridan, who was in immediate command, had been communicated with. The truce party then returned back into the rebel lines, accompanied by Colonel Briggs, when the requisite assurance having been given by Generals

Longstreet and Gordon, a suspension of hostilities followed.
The armistice, however, was not respected by Gary's South Carolina Cavalry, which fired upon us ; where- upon we put a quietus upon them in short order by a charge, many of them finding " the last ditch " they pro- fessed to be seek- ing, while the greater part ran away to a safe place.

The morning of April 10th found the cavalry on the march to Petersburg, in which vicinity we re- mained until the 24th of April, when we set out for North Carolina to effect a junction with General Sherman, but our columns were arrested at South Boston, on the Dan river on the 28th, by the news of Johnston's surrender. From thence we marched to Washington by easy stages

and participated in the Grand Review on the 23d of May, 1865.
After a short stay in Washington the brigade was ordered to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, proceeding by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to Wheeling, and thence by the Ohio and Mississippi and Missouri rivers to the point of destination. Thence the command marched across the plains to the Rocky Mountains to quell the Indian disturbances prevalent in that wide section. September 17, 1865, there was a muster-out of men and officers of the First, Fifth and Sixth regi- ments, whose terms had expired, and the remainder, with those of the Seventh, whose term of service did not expire before February, 1866, were consolidated into the First Michigan Veteran Cavalry. The re- mainder, whose terms expired previously to February 1. 1866, continued under command of Colonel Briggs as the Seventh Michigan Cavalry until December 15, 1865, when they were mustered ont. The First Mich- igan Veteran Cavalry was retained in service in Utah until March 10, 1866, and not until that date did the military service of a part of the Seventh cease, although the greater number of men and officers were mustered ont December 15, 1865. In the West the regiment suffered severely from the hardships of desert and mountain marches in the dead of winter and from the vicissitudes of Indian warfare.
