On the 1st of November, 1864, the Regiment was in the 2d Brigade, 3d Division, 2d Corps, Army of the Potomac, and was doing garrison duty in Fort Davies, in the front line of works, before Petersburg, Va., and continued on that duty until Jan. 15, 1865, when it formed a part of General Warren's command on his raid to Weldon, and on its return, was stationed on the railroad near Humphrey's Station. After laying at that point for two weeks, it moved again to the front line of works, before Petersburg; there it built winter quarters, and was employed on fatigue and picket duty until March 25th, when it partici- pated in the attack on the enemy's works near Hatcher's Run, where it assisted in driving him from his first line of works, after a heavy engagement of four hours; remaining at that point until the 29th, it moved about six miles to the left, and on the morning of the 30tb, the Regiment was deployed as
117

skirmishers, and became engaged with the enemy's pickets, and after driving them within their main line of works, near Fort Harney, fire was opened on the Regiment from three batteries, but it succeeded in holding its ground until the 5th Corps got into position, when the line was maintained. On the 2d, the Regiment, with the First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, made a demonstration on the enemy's works, for the purpose of devel- oping his position and strength; this being accomplished with but small loss, the Command held its position during the night, and next morning, the Regiment with its Corps, participated in the general assault on the enemy's fortifications, which resulted in carrying his entire line of works, and the capture of Peters- burg, and is reported to have been the first regiment to raise its colors on the works. In following up the retreat of that part of the enemy, which took the line of the South Side Rail- road, the Regiment was deployed as skirmishers, and on the 4th and 5th, pressing his rear guard closely. On the 6th he made a stand at Sailor's Creek, to protect the crossing of his baggage, when the Brigade made a charge, capturing 173 wagons, the Regiment taking a stand of colors and 145 pris- oners. The enemy being followed up closely by the Brigade, on the 7th and 8th, the Regiment acting as flankers and skir- mishers, became engaged at New Store, and on the 9th was in the front, in line of battle, at Glover Hill, at the surrender of Lee. At that point the Regiment lay until the 13th, when it marched back to Burkeville, and on the 1st of May, proceeded via Richmond, to Washington, D C., where it participated in the review of the armies at that place, on the 23d. On the 10th of June it started for Louisville, via the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to Parkersburg, and thence by steamer, down the Ohio river; arriving at Louisville on the 14th, it crossed the river to Jeffersonville, Ind., and remained there until July 5th, when it was mustured out of service, and proceeded to Mich- igan, arriving on the 8th at Detroit, where, on the 17th, it was. paid off and disbanded.

former stations in Forts Morgan and Gaines. On the 31st of March, companies A and K were detatched from the command at Fort Morgan, and ordered to the front to report to General Granger, and were each equipped with a Battery of 10-inch mortars, and on their arrival at the front were ordered into position under the guns of Spanish Fort; there they done very fine execution at a range of 1,400 yards. After the fort was taken, these companies were ordered to man and turn the heavy captured guns, consisting of 7-inch Brooks' rifled and 100 pound Parrotts, on the rebel forts Huger and Tracy, and with them performed good service until all the enemy's works within range were reduced, and Mobile surrendered. On the 10th of April, Co. "B" was ordered to the front at Navy Cove, for picket duty, and company E assigned to garrison Fort Powell, where they remained until the Regiment was ordered to report to Maj. Gen. Sheridan. Companies A and K, which had been for some time on duty at Spanish Fort, rejoined the garrison of Fort Morgan on the 20th, and the location of the Regiment remained unchanged until July 9th, when it took steamers for New Orleans, with orders to report to Maj. Gen. Sheridan, where it arrived on the 11th, and encamped at Greenville, four miles above the city. There it was furnished with new camp equipage and wagon train, and put in condition for service in Texas, but on the 5th of August, orders were received for its muster-out, which was accomplished on the 20th, and on the 23d the Regiment started for Michigan, pro- ceeding by steamer to Cairo, where it arrived on the 28th, and thence by rail to Jackson, Mich., arriving there on the 30th, and on the 5th of September it was paid off and discharged.

SEVENTH INFANTRY.
At the date of last report, this Regiment was serving in the 1st Brigade, 2d Division, 2d Corps, Army of the Potomac, and on Nov. 1, 1864, was in front of Petersburg, and doing garrison duty in Fort Steadman and Battery 10, being only 235 yards from the main works of the enemy; consequently, the Regiment was much exposed to the fire of the rebel batteries, although its losses were slight. On the 27th it moved to the left, near Fort Siebert, and built quarters, and on December 2d, with its Division, moved to the left of the line, and relieved the 1st Di- vision, 5th Corps, and then moved again to the left to Fort Emery, near Fort Siebert, on the 6th, where it was engaged on picket and fatigue duty, until Feb. 5, 1865, when it moved, with its Brigade, to Hatcher's Run, and was then placed in the skirmish line, when it assisted in driving the enemy's skir- mishers, taking two prisoners. On the evening of the 7th, the Regiment fell back to its old line, and on the 10th commenced building quarters, and finished them on the 22d, remaining at that point until March 29th, when it received orders to report to General Smyth for duty as skirmishers for the 3d Brigade, and after reporting, marched about three miles to the left of the line, where one-half of the Regiment was deployed as skir- mishers, and the balance held in reserve, and advancing to- wards the enemy, he fell back within his main works, when the Regiment was ordered forward under fire, to ascertain his strength as to position; in accomplishing this, Lieut. Stephen Patterson was shot dead by one of the enemy's sharp-shooters. On the 30th the Regiment was supporting the 1st Brigade, and on the 31st, with the 7th Virginia Infantry, was ordered one mile to the left to drive the enemy's skirmishers and cap- ture his works, if possible. After driving in his pickets, and
121
ADJUTANT GENERAL.
ascertaining that he was very strongly entrenched, the com- mand fell back near Gen. Smith's headquarters and encamped for the night, and on April 1st rejoined the 2d Brigade. On April 2d the Regiment, together with details from the 1st Minnesota, and 19th Massachusetts, charged the enemy's works at Cat Tail Creek, capturing two forts and three guns, then sweeping down the line, captured five other forts, well defended by in- fantry, and during the day taking about five hundred prisoners and several horses. The Regiment is reported to have been the first to break the rebel lines in front of the 2d Corps. After marching, with the Division, to the rear of Petersburg, the Regiment was deployed as skirmishers up the South Side Rail- road, in advance of the Division, taking many prisoners and contrabands, and capturing great numbers of horses and mules. On April 3d, it marched ten miles, continuing the march on the 4th and 5th; on the 6th it received orders to report to Gen. Smith, and was put in the advance of the skirmish line of the 3d Brigade, taking a number of prisoners during the day, and at 9 P. M. rejoined the Division, having marched about 30 miles. On the morning of the 7th, it marched with its Brigade, until near High Bridge, in the vicinity of Farmville, when, together with the 59th New York, it was deployed as skirmishers, to cover the front and flanks of the Brigade, and moving on the enemy, it participated in capturing many prison- ers; advancing to within half a mile of Farmville, when the enemy, throwing a heavy column of Infantry and Cavalry on the right and rear of the skirmish line, its connection with the Brigade was cut off; but as soon as the advance on its rear was discovered, the skirmish line was faced to the rear, and charged the advancing force; but the enemy being superior in numbers, the line was repulsed, the Regiment losing three of- ficers, and thirty-four men, prisoners, including one officer, se- verely wounded. In the afternoon, the Regiment was relieved. from the front, and rejoined its Brigade. On the 8th, the march was continued until 12 P. M., and on the 9th marched

C., and encamped, and on the 23d, participated in the review of the Army of the Potomac. The Regiment continued in camp, near Washington, until June 6th, when it was ordered to report to Maj.
