Although Branch County was now rapidly approaching a civilized condition, yet the wolves still made wool-growing a somewhat risky business, as is shown by the records of bounties paid. At the session of the supervisors in Octo- ber, 1843, they audited and allowed no less than five claims for bounty,-one by Jeremiah Morrill, Que by James Owen, one by Joseph Cady, and two by C. C. Hayes.

HISTORY OF BRANCH COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
At that October session the board passed a resolution recommending the electors of the county to raise four hun- dred dollars to ereet a jail, besides the three hundred dol- lars due from the citizens of Coldwater, and directed the clerk to submit the proposition to a vote of the people. But there was as much struggling over the question as might have sufficed to build a State capitol, and in the January following the resolution was rescinded. In lieu of it, one was adopted requesting the electors to authorize the supervisors to raise sufficient money to build county build- ings by a tax extending over four years. This plan also seems to have fallen through, for in January, 1845, we find the board again recommending the electors on the subject ; this time to raise five hundred dollars in 1845 and five hundred in 1846, which, with the three hundred dollars due from the citizens of Coldwater, was to be used to build a jail. Ballots were ordered to be prepared for " Jail" and " No Jail."
In October, 1845, still another resolution was passed, recommending the electors to raise a thousand dollars for a jail. The board seemed to be determined, in the words of one of John Hay's heroes, " to resoloot till the cows come home," and this effort seems to have been successful, for the next spring it was resolved to let the building of the jail to the highest bidder. In the succeeding fall the board levied a thousand-dollar tax to pay for the jail which had been erected during the summer of 1846, and in January, 1847, they voted to accept the same.
The next move was for a court-house. In the spring of 1847 the people voted that one should be built, but the Vote was a very close one,-eight hundred and thirty four votes being east in favor of the requisite tax, and seven hundred and ninety-four against it. In October, 1847, the board resolved that four thousand dollars should be raised to build a court-house ; fifteen hundred that year, fifteen hundred in 1848, and a thousand in 1849. Five hundred dollars was also voted to build a poor-house, and the super- intendents were authorized to advertise for its erection at a sum not exceeding that amount. At this time temporary apartments were rented for a court-room and a clerk's office at fifty dollars per year, and one for a register's office at twenty dollars. The same mouth it was resolved that a court-house should be built for five thousand dollars, and the proposal of G. W. Davis to erect it for that sum was duly accepted.
.
The following year (1848) the present court-house in Coldwater was erected. It was accepted by the supervisors in the autumn, and iu December of that year was first oc- cupied for publie purposes, that being the end of a seven years' struggle over the erection of county buildings.
Meanwhile the progress of the county was rapid and enduring. There was not the extraordinary inflation of the prices of real estate seen in 1834, 1835, and 1836, but, on the other hand, there was no danger of the panic of 1837. New farms were opened in every direction, and the area of cultivated land in the old ones was largely increased. In some instances frame houses were built upon farms, though as a general rule log houses were still in use, except in the villages.
Our friends, the wolves, of whom we have spoken so
often before, were gradually disappearing before the rifles and traps of frontiersmen, inspired by the hope of the eight dollars bounty which was then allowed for each scalp. In January, 1846, certificates were issued for one scalp each to David Potter, Lawrence Decker, Joseph Harris, Joseph Towsley, and James Johnson. In December, 1848, there is a record of a certificate issued to Christopher Spafford. and in October, 1850, there were issued one to Ezekiel Hayes, Jr., and two to James O. Johnson. These were the last payments of which we have seen any record. Pos- sibly one or two more wolves were killed in the county, but it will be substantially safe to assume that after the middle of the century Branch County was free from these enemies ol' the sheepfold.
By the census of 1850 the county had twelve thousand four hundred and seventy-two inhabitants, its population having more than doubled in ten years. Up to this time the county had not known the presence of a railroad.
The break-down of the great system of State works begun in 1837 had been so complete, that people were frightened at the idea of building a railroad in Michigan. By extraordinary exertion, and at immense cost, the . State had succeeded in constructing the Southern road as far as Hillsdale in 1843, but was utterly unable to build it any farther. Even this, however, was a great boon to the people of Branch County, as it was certainly far easier to haul their produce in wagons for twenty or even forty miles than to prolong the task over nearly a hundred miles of execrable road which lay between them and Lake Erie.
The Southern Railroad having been sold in 1846 to a company, of which Edwin C. Litchfield was the head, it was hoped that it would be speedily pushed forward through Branch County. But the new company could not muster the necessary means for several years, and up to the close of 1850 no advance had been made except over the four miles between Hillsdale and Jonesville.
But in the beginning of 1851 everything was ready for a grand forward movement, which was carried out with extraordinary rapidity. Thousands of workmen were em- ployed all along the line from Jonesville to Chicago. Early in the summer the track was laid down across Branch County, and the locomotive went screaming merrily through the townships of Quiney, Coldwater, Batavia, Bethel, and Bronson. Still the work went forward with ever-increasing zeal, unstayed even by the cold of winter, and in March, 1852, the cars ran over the road from Lake Erie to Chicago.
This placed Branch County in close connection with the outer world, with the swiftly-growing metropolis at the head of Lake Michigan, and with the great markets of the East. In about three years more a line was completed from Toledo to Buffalo, connecting there with the system of roads which afterwards became the New York Central, and forming a continuous all-rail line from New York to Chicago, passing through Branch County.
Over this line rolled nearly the whole tide of Western emigration, and it could not be but that a large part of it would be stayed on the fertile lands of Branch County, which were not yet entirely occupied by farmers. The vacant lauds, however, were speedily purchased, and those

which had been settled during the previous twenty years now Look on the appearance of thorough cultivation. In a majority of cases the log houses of the pioneers were ex- changed for frames, pumps took the places of the pictur- esque, but inconvenient, well-sweeps, which had formerly risen in every yard, orchards presented their luscious fruit in ample abundance, and school-houses and churches rose wherever necessary, to promote the intellectual and spiritual welfare of the people. Even the mischievous imp of fever- and-ague became less malignant than before, as the soil was subdued by cultivation, and the too-abundant water was removed by drainage.
In fact, the decade from the beginning of 1851 to that of 1861 was one of almost unchecked prosperity. The population increased from twelve thousand four hundred and seventy-two to twenty thousand nine hundred and eighty- one (sixty-eight per cent.), and the increase in wealth was still greater. As the whole country, East and West, North and South, shared in greater or less degree in the same good fortune, it was hard to believe that any could be found mad or wicked enough to change the scene for one of war and devastation. Even while, during the fateful winter of 1860-61, State after State was seen declaring in favor of secession, and asserting its readiness for war, meu still hoped against hope that some means of reconciliation would be devised. But the rage of the slaveholders at the elec- tion of a President who was not a propagandist of slavery, could be satiated by nothing but the destruction of the Union, and so all lovers of their country were brought face to face with the question whether they would ignobly per- mit that country to be ruined by traitors, or would defend it by force of arms. When the rebel guns sounded the fall of Sumter on the 14th day of April, 1861, the ques- tion was speedily decided.
Of the gallant part taken by the men of Branch County in the terrible contest of the next four years, the following chapters will speak. In those chapters we give brief sketches of the services of all the regiments and batteries of which any considerable number went from Branch County. To each sketch is appended a list of the officers and soldiers from Branch County who served in that partic- ular regiment or battery. Where less than thirty were from Branch County we can give, as a rule, no history of ser- vices, but a list of all the names is furnished in the closing chapter of the war record. These lists are taken from the published reports of the adjutant-general of the State, cor- rected whenever practicable by members of the various or- ganizations. The histories of the services of regiments and batteries are also based on the adjutant-general's reports, but in numerous cases officers and soldiers belonging to them have furnished us with circumstances, reminiscenees, and details which could be obtained from no other source.

THE THREE MONTHS' REGIMENT.
THE day after the surrender of Fort Sumter, the Pres- ident of the United States called upou the loyal States of the Union for seventy-five thousand men to suppress the rebellious uprising in the South. On the following day (April 16, 1861) was published the proclamation of the Governor of Michigan, calling for volunteers to fill twenty companies, which, with the requisite field and staff officers, were to compose two regiments of infantry, though only one regiment was required under the President's call. Three days after the issuance of the Governor's proclama- tion the 1st Regiment was ready for muster, and on the Ist of May following it was mustered, seven hundred and eighty strong, into the service of the United States for three months, by Lieut .- Col. E. Backus, U. S. A., at Fort Wayne, Detroit, the regiment being then fully equipped with arms, ammunition, and clothing, ready for service, and awaiting the orders of the War Department.
One of the companies of the regiment (C) was composed of men of Branch County, its nucleus being a Zouave com- pany which had been organized in Coldwater some time previous to the opening of the war. This company joined the regiment with a strength of about eighty rank and file, and under command of the following-named officers, all residents of Coldwater: Ebenezer Butterworth, captain ; Charles E. Eggleston, first lieutenant ; George H. Eggles- ton, second lieutenant. The field-officers of the regiment were Orlando B. Wilcox, colonel; Lorin L. Comstock, lieutenant-colonel ; Alonzo F. Bidwell, major.
Orders for its movement having been received on the 13th of May, the Ist Regiment of Michigan left Detroit on that day, and proceeded to Washington. It was the first regiment to reach the National Capital from west of the Alleghany Mountains, and was not second in equip- ment and soldierly qualities to any regiment which had arrived from any other State. Its appearance on Pennsyl- vania Avenue was hailed with joyful acclamation, and the great President, before whom it marched in review, ad- dressed its officers and men in most complimentary terms, and through them thanked the State of Michigan for the patriotism and alacrity with which she had responded to the call for help.
The 1st was assigned to duty with the command of Col. (afterwards Gen.) Heintzelman, and when the movement across the Potomac into Virginia was made, on the 24th

of May, it led the advance of the Union troops across Long Bridge, driving in the rebel piekets along the river, and entering Alexandria by the Washington road, simul- taneously with the arrival of Ellsworth's Zouave regiment by steamer.
The first and only battle of this regiment was that of Bull Run, July 21, 1861, at which time its brave colonel was in command of the brigade of which the 1st was a part. On that disastrous field it was in the thickest of the fight, eagerly pressing forward to engage the enemy, losing heavily, but fighting with stubborn heroism, and establish- ing that bright reputation for gallantry which Michigan troops so uniformly maintained throughout the war. In this engagement Capt. Butterworth (of Company C) and Lieuts. Mauch and Casey were wounded and taken pris- oners, and afterwards died of their wounds while in the enemy's hands. Col. Wilcox was also wounded and made prisoner, and was exchanged after fifteen months' captivity. At the expiration of its three months' term of service the regiment returned to Michigan, and was mustered out Ang. 7, 1861.
THE THREE YEARS' REGIMENT.
After the muster-ont and discharge of the three months' men the 1st Regiment was reorganized for a three years' term of service. The men for the new regiment were principally recruited in the counties of Wayne, Jackson, Washtenaw, Lenawee, Monroe, Ilillsdale, and Branch ; this county contributing a large part of the members of Com- pany E and a few men to other companies.
The reorganized 1st Infantry left its rendezvous at Ann Arbor (excepting two small detachments, which followed soon after) on the 16th of September, 1861, and proceeded to Washington, D. C. Among the earliest duties to which it was assigned was that of guarding the Baltimore and Washington Railroad ; and in this it was engaged during the winter of 1861-62, with its headquarters and winter camp at Annapolis Junction. In the month of March, 1862, it moved to the Peninsula with the Army of the Po- tomac, to join in Mcclellan's campaign against Richmond. During that campaign it took an honorable part in the battles of Mechanicsville, June 26, 1862, Gaines' Mills, June 27, and Malvern Hill, July 1.
At the close of the Peninsular campaign the 1st was placed in the army of Gen. Pope, and fonght under that general at Gainesville, August 29, and at the second Bull Run battle, August 30. In the last-named engagement it lost its colonel, adjutant, four captains, and more than half its members killed or wounded. Rejoining the army of Gen. MeClellan, it fought during his fall campaign of 1862 at Antietam, September 17, and Shepherdstown Ford, Sep- tember 20; and after the assumption of the command of the army by Gen. Burnside it fought under him in the terrific battle of Fredericksburg, Va., December 13.
The next spring it took part in the campaign of Chan- eellorsville, and after numerous severe marches reached Gettysburg on the 2d of July, 1862, in time to engage in that memorable encounter. Nearly a third of the small number which followed its banner were killed or wounded on that field.
During the remainder of the year and the early part of 1864 the Ist was engaged in the various movements made in Virginia by the Army of the Potomae, and in the mean time was reorganized as a veteran regiment. Going into the great campaign of 1864 on the 1st of May, the regi- ment took part in most of the battles and skirmishes of that terrible time, including Alsop's Farm, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Jericho Mills, and Cold Harbor. In June, 1864, when the 4th Infantry went home to be mustered out and reorganize, its veterans and the later recruits were assigned to the 1st and remained with it until June, 1865. It took an active part in the siege of Petersburg, was present at the battle of Weldon Railroad, and participated in the desperate conflict of Poplar Grove Church, where alone it carried two strong fortifications, and a part of an intrenehed line.
The regiment remained engaged in the siege of Peters- burg throughout the winter; taking part in the battle of Ilateher's Run in February, and in another confliet at the same place in March. It was also engaged in the closing battles of the great struggle, including the events at Ap- pomatox Court-House, April 9. After Lee's surrender it was moved to City Point, and remained there until May 16, then went by water to Alexandria, arriving there on the 18th, and on the 16th of June went by rail to Louisville, Ky., reaching there on the 21st. It was encamped on the opposite side of the river, at Jeffersonville, Ind., and was mustered ont of service on the 9th of July. The command arrived at Jackson, Mich., on the 12th of the same month, and was there paid and discharged.
The losses of the 1st during the war were one hundred and forty-six men and fifteen commissioned officers killed in battle or died of wounds, and ninety-six men and one officer died of disease.
