A constant succession of raids and fights occupied the time until the 1st of August, 1864, during which many miles of railroad track and many bridges were destroyed, thus impeding the operations of the enemy and facilitating those of Gen. Sherman, who had steadily advanced to the front of Atlanta. From the 1st to the 14th of that month the regiment was employed as infantry, occupying a por- tion of the trenches before Atlanta. Being remounted, it participated in Gen. Kilpatrick's raid on the Macon Rail- road, when twenty miles of track was torn up, and contri- buting largely to the fall of Atlanta. While thus engaged, Col. Minty's brigade was caught between two bodies of rebel cavalry, one of them being Ferguson's Texan Ran- gers. The Unionists at once charged with the sabre, bursting through the ranks of the Texans like a whirlwind, and chasing them off the field. Over two hundred of their number were taken prisoners, nearly all of them with sabre-cuts across the head.
After the fall of Atlanta the regiment moved northward, and on the 4th of October joined the 2d Cavalry Division at Marietta, with which it started in pursuit of Hood's army, then' making its way towards Middle Tennessee, and had numerous skirmishes with its rear-guard.
One of the sharpest fights of the regiment was near Rome, Ga., on the 13th of October. A body of Union troops were occupying Rome, and a force of mounted rebels undertook to drive them out. While a brisk skirmish was going on, Minty's brigade crossed the Oostenaula River, and

made a sabre charge on the flank of the Confederates. The latter fled in the utmost confusion. The Unionists ran over a battery of guns and captured it in an instant, and then pursued the enemy several miles, capturing prisoners, and sabring those who resisted. The 4th Michigan alone took one hundred and twenty-eight prisoners, which was about the number of the mounted men in the regiment, nearly all the horses having been worn out by the severity of the service.
Mr. Bullard, before mentioned, who ran down and caught in succession eight of the fleeing rebels, rode up to an ambulance, drawn by four mules, and ordered the driver to halt; but he only urged his team to greater exertions. Spurring his horse up beside the lead team, Mr. Bullard struck one of the mules over the head with his sabre, knocking him down. Another sabre cut dismounted the driver, who rolled to the side of the road with the scalp torn from one side of his head, but not fatally wounded. Sitting up and lifting the loose scalp, he looked up to the victor and drawled out :
" Mister, you cut my head mighty bad."
Similar incidents were constantly taking place as the tide of pursuers and pursued- swept tumultuously onward over the hilly road. At length a force of intrenched Con- federate infantry was reached, and the Union cavalry retired with its prisoners to join the main command.
The mounted men of the regiment moved thence to Little River, Ala., where the command had a conflict with Wheeler's cavalry, which was forced to retire.
Meanwhile the dismounted men were sent back from time to time as their horses were worn out by the severity of the service, being mostly employed in garrisoning block- houses on the Nashville and Huntsville Railroad. On the 17tlı of September, 1864, a corporal and seventeen men in a block-house were attacked by a cavalry division with artillery, but although the assailants shelled the block- house over five hours, they could not compel the gallant little squad to surrender, and finally retired, after having eight men killed and sixty wounded. The corporal was promoted to be a commissioned officer, and the names of his men were honorably mentioned in general orders.
After the fight at Little River, before mentioned, the mounted men of the regiment, then numbering but about one hundred, transferred their horses to the 3d Brigade, and pro- ceeded to Louisville, Ky. The dismounted men also concen- trated at the same point. They remained there until the latter part of December, being in the mean time remounted and fur- nished with new Spencer seven-shooting carbines. On the 28th of December the 4th again moved southward, with twenty-six officers and six hundred and ninety-six soldiers. It proceeded by way of Nashville to Gravelly Springs, Ala., where it remained until the 12th of March, 1865. Some of the time the men suffered severely for want of rations, being obliged to live on parched corn for several days.
On the 12th of March the regiment broke camp, and set out on Gen. Wilson's great cavalry movement through Central Alabama. Four divisions of cavalry stretched in an almost interminable line as the command made its way southward over mountains, rivers, creeks, and swamps. It crossed the Black Warrior River, on the 29th of March, by
swimming the horses, losing one man and from thirty to forty horses. On the 31st it crossed the Cahawba River, passing the accompanying battery over the railroad-bridge, which was temporarily floored with ties, five or six horses being killed by falling nearly a hundred feet from the bridge to the river.
On the 2d of May, at two P.M., the brigade to which the 4th belonged being in the advance, the column arrived in front of the city of Selma. This, the chief city of Central Alabama, was surrounded by two lines of bastioned in- trenchments. On the top of the parapet lay a line of large logs, supported by blocks two or three inches above the earth, giving just room for the defenders standing behind the parapet to push their rifles through the inter- stices. The works were defended by Gen. Forrest with seven thousand men, according to the rebel statement, though the Unionists claimed there were nine thousand.
The 2d Division, in which was the 4th Michigan, was ordered to attack, dismounted, on the Summerville road. For a while the 4th supported a battery which played on the rebel works. Just before the assault was ordered to take place, the rebel Gen. Chalmers attacked the rear of the 2d Division. Three regiments were detached to oppose him ; the remainder, including the 4th Michigan, swept forward to the assault. Besides the men holding horses, the force resisting Chalmers, and other detachments, there were about fifteen hundred men of the 2d Division in the assaulting column. These moved forward under a terrific fire from the breastworks, which was followed by a swift succession of volleys from the Spencer carbines of the Unionists, steadily aimed at the top of the parapet.
Col. Long, the division commander, was shot in the head at the beginning of the assault, and Col. Minty, of the 4th Michigan, led the men against the works. Increasing their pace, they dashed forward with resounding cheers, swarmed through the ditch and over the breastworks, killed, captured, or drove away the rebels almost in an instant, and took possession of the enemy's main line in twenty minutes after the first advance. Three hundred and twenty-four out of the fifteen hundred assailants were killed in this brief period.
So close had been the aim of the Unionists, that a con- siderable number of the Confederates (our informants think as many as twenty) were found standing erect inside the breastworks, but shot through the head and stone dead. Their rifles were held in place by the logs before mentioned, and death came to them so suddenly that they were held upright by the parapet and by their stiffened grasp on their weapons.
The inner line of works was also captured by the 2d Division by the time the 4th Division arrived at the outer line. The result of the whole operation was the capture of one hundred pieces of artillery, two thousand eight hun- dred prisoners, and an immense amount of ammunition and stores.
On the 7th of April the command moved eastward, pass- ing through Montgomery and Columbus into Georgia. The brigade to which the 4th belonged marched all the night of the 17th of April to save the double bridges over the Flint River, reaching them early in the morning of the

HISTORY OF BERRIEN AND VAN BUREN COUNTIES, MICHIGAN.
18th, when a gallant sabre charge was made by one bat- talion of the 4th Michigan, which carried the bridges and captured every man of the rebel force left to destroy them.
On the 20th of April the 2d Division, which was in the advance, after a rapid march of twenty-seven miles, was met some twelve or fifteen miles from Macon, Ga., by a rebel officer with a flag of truce, who informed Col. Minty that an armistice had been stipulated between the contending forces, and requesting him not to enter Macon.
"I have had no notification of any armistice from my superiors," replied Col. Minty, " and shall not stay out of Macon. I will give you five minutes' start (taking out his watch) in returning to Macon, and you had better make good use of it."
The officer and his escort set out on the gallop. Col. Minty sat on his horse, watch in hand, until the five minutes had elapsed, when he returned the watch and gave the order :
" Forward ! gallop, march !"
The division dashed forward, in thundering column, towards Macon. Over hill and down dale it pursued its fiery course. The flag-bearers were run down and passed ; some small detachments stationed along the road were swept away like chaff, and at six P.M. the division dashed into Macon, where it received the unconditional surrender of Gen. Howell Cobb and about two thousand men, with sixty-two pieces of artillery. Being there officially notified of the surrender of the rebel armies under Lee and John- ston, Gen. Wilson stayed the farther advance of his corps.
On the 7th of May the 4th Michigan, four hundred and forty strong, under Lieut .- Col. Pritchard, left Macon for the purpose of capturing Jefferson Davis and his party, who were known to be making their way towards the coast. Having struck the trail of the fugitives at Abbeville, on the 9th of May, Col. Pritchard selected one hundred and thirty-five of his best-mounted officers and men, and moved rapidly by a circuitous route to intercept them. At Irwins- ville, at one o'clock in the morning of the 10th of May, Col. Pritchard learned that a train, which probably belonged to Davis, was encamped a mile and a half distant.
Moving out into the vicinity of the camp, he sent Lieut. Purinton, with twenty-five men, to wait on the other side of it. At daybreak, Col. Pritchard and his men advanced silently, and without being observed, to within a few rods of the camp, then dashed forward and secured the whole camp before the astonished inmates could grasp their weapons, or even fairly arouse themselves from their slum- bers. A chain of mounted guards was immediately placed around the camp, and dismounted sentries were stationed at the tents and wagons.
While this was going on, Corp. George Munger, now of Schoolcraft, Kalamazoo Co., and private James F. Bullard, of Paw Paw, Van Buren Co., observed two persons, in women's dress, moving rapidly away from one of the tents. Munger was mounted and Bullard dismounted.
" That ought to be attended to," said one of them.
" Yes," replied the other, and Munger immediately rode around in front of one of them and ordered " Halt !" Bullard mounted and followed a moment later.
"This is my mother-in-law," said one of them. "She is going after some water. Can't you let her pass ?"
Her companion, a tall person, much bent, wrapped in a woman's " water-proof," with a shawl over the head and a pail in one hand, remained silent.
" No, you can't pass," replied Munger.
At that moment Bullard rode up, and the hitherto silent personage, seeing that further disguise was useless, straight- ened up, dropped the pail, threw off the waterproof and shawl, and disclosed a tall, thin, sharp-faced, sour-looking man, with gray hair, gray whiskers under his chin, and one blind eye. Several other soldiers came up immediately afterwards, but no one at first seemed to recognize in this forlorn fugitive the renowned chief of the defunct Confed- eracy. Mrs. Davis, however (for she was his companion), had her wifely fears aroused by the grim faces and clanking arms around her, and threw her arms around her husband's neck, exclaiming,-
" Don't shoot him ! don't shoot him !"
" Let them shoot," said Davis, "if they choose; I may as well die here as anywhere."
But no one was inclined to be his executioner, and the squad with the two prisoners moved back towards the tents. Mrs. Davis, when questioned, admitted that her companion was the ex-president of the Confederacy. As they went along, Mrs. Davis said to Mr. Bullard,-
" Mr. Davis is a very reverend man ; I hope he will not be insulted."
" I shall not insult him," curtly replied Bullard, " if he behaves himself."
Meanwhile Col. Pritchard had taken the greater part of the force and gone to the assistance of Lieut. Purinton, in whose front heavy firing was heard. It proved to be a most unfortunate rencontre with a detachment of the 1st Wisconsin Cavalry, which was also in pursuit of Davis, and the advance-guard of which began firing on Purinton's men before ascertaining who they were. After this error was discovered (which was not until several men had been killed and wounded), Col. Pritchard returned to camp and discovered that, besides Davis, his wife, and four children, his command had also captured two of his aides-de-camp, his private secretary, several other Confederate officers, thirteen private servants, waiting-maids, etc., making a total of about thirty persons. As he rode up, Col. Pritchard was accosted by Davis, who asked if he was the officer in com- mand. The colonel said he was, and asked how he should address his interlocutor.
" Call me what or whoever you please," said the rebel chieftain.
" Then I shall call you Davis," replied Pritchard. After a moment's hesitation the former admitted that that was his name. He then suddenly drew himself up with great dignity and exclaimed, --
" I suppose you consider it bravery to charge a train of defenseless women and children ; but it is theft ; it is van- dalism."
Without stopping to inquire whether the distinguished prisoner considered himself a woman or a child, the colonel set out for Macon, joining the rest of the regiment on the way.
The lucky man of the expedition was one Michael Lynch, a deserter from the Confederate army, who had enlisted in
107
FOURTH CAVALRY.
the 4th Michigan. He secured a pair of saddle-bags con- taining eighteen thousand dollars in Confederate gold. Although vigilant search was made for it by the officers, he managed to conceal it, got out of camp with it, and buried it. He was strongly suspected from various circumstances of being the person who had it, and the acting adjutant- general of the brigade endeavored to persuade him to give it up, saying it would certainly be found, and then he would lose it, but if he would give it up he (the officer) would use his influence to have it, or a part of it, given back to him.
" Well now, captain," said Lynch, with great apparent frankness, "I haven't got that money, but if I had it I shouldn't be green enough to give it up."
" Why, what could you do with it ?" queried the officer.
" What could I do with it?" replied Lynch, "why I would bury it, and after I was discharged I would come back and dig it up. But then I haven't got it."
And this was precisely what he had done, and what after his discharge he did do.
From Macon Col. Pritchard, with twenty-three officers and men, was ordered to Washington, as a special escort for Davis and his party. Corporal Munger and Private Bullard were placed on the detail by the adjutant, on account of their having been the first to stop Davis. While this party went to Washington (giving Mr. Davis into the cus- tody of the commandant at Fortress Monroe), the rest of the regiment returned, by way of Atlanta and Chattanooga, to Nashville, where it was mustered out and paid off on the 1st of July, 1865. It reached Detroit on the 10th of the same month.
