camp at Franklin, were sent to Brentwood, organized with the remaining fragments of the brigade, and placed under command of an officer belonging to another regiment. This force was surrendered by that officer to the rebel General Forrest on the 25th of March, without the firing of a gun. The enlisted men were soon paroled and sent North ; the commissioned officers were exchanged on the 25th of May following.
The 19th was reorganized at Camp Chase, Ohio, and on the 8th of June left Columbus to engage once more in ser- vice at the front. It reached Nashville on the 11th, and from that time was engaged in ordinary camp and picket duty until July, when it was ordered forward, to form part of Roseerans' column, advancing on Tullahoma. The regi- ment was ordered back to Murfreesboro' on the 23d of July, to do garrison duty in the fortifications at that point and along Stone River, where Company D was captured in a stockade, on the 5th of October, by a rebel cavalry force under Gen. Wheeler. After having been plundered, the men were released on parole.
About the last of October the 19th was ordered to Me- Minnville. Tenn., where it remained, engaged in the con- struction of fortifications and in similar duty, until the 21st of April, 1864, when it was ordered to join its divi- sion and march with the strong columns of Sherman into Georgia. It reached hookout Valley on the 30th, and moved forward with the army on the 3d of May ; being then in the Ist. Brigade, 4th Division of the 20th Army Corps. Moving by way of Buzzard's Roost and Snake Creek Gap to Resaea, it was, with its brigade, desperately engaged in the battle at that place on the 15th, on which occasion it gallantly charged and captured a battery of the enemy, afterwards holding the position against all efforts to retake it. It was in that charge that Col. Gilbert received the wound from which he died at Chattanooga on the 24th of May.
The total loss of the 19th at Resaca, in killed and wounded, was eighty-one. It was again engaged at Cass- ville, Ga., on the 19th ; at New Hope Church on the 25th ; at Golgotha, June 15; and at Kulp's Farm, June 22; losing in these transactions eighty-three, killed and wounded. Join- ing in the pursuit of the enemy after his evacuation of the position and works at Kenesaw Mountain, the 19th -then under command of Maj. John J. Baker-crossed the Chat- tahoochie, and took part in the battle of Peach-Tree Creek, July 20, in which its loss was thirty-nine killed and wounded ; among the latter being the commanding officer, Maj. Baker. During the remainder of the siege of Atlanta, the regiment was constantly on duty, much of the time under artillery fire, but took part in none of the general engagements ; its loss during that time being eight, killed and wounded.
In the early days of November, 1864, the 19th was quartered in the city of Atlanta, and on the 15th of that month moved with its brigade (the 2d of the 3d Division, 20th Corps) on the storied march to Savannah, taking active part in the siege of that city until its evacuation on the 21st of December. It remained near Savannah until Jan. 1, 1865, when, with the companion regiments of its command, it moved across the Savannah River into South
Carolina. It crossed the Pedee River at Cheraw on the 2d of February, arrived at Fayetteville, March 11, de- stroyed the arsenal and other public buildings at that place, and moved thenee towards Raleigh. On the 16th the enemy was found in heavy force at Averysboro'. Here the second brigade was ordered to assault the works, and carried them with great gallantry, capturing the guns and a large number of prisoners ; the loss of the 19th being nineteen in killed and wounded. At the battle of Bentonville, on the 19th, the regiment stood in line of battle, but was not ordered in.
From Bentonville, the 19th moved to Goldsboro', arriv- ing there on the 24th, and then marched to Raleigh. Here it remained until the war was closed by the surrender of Johnston's army. Then, with its corps, it laced northward, and marched through Virginia to Alexandria, where it ar- rived on the 18th of May. Six days later it marched with the bronzed and tattered veterans of Sherman's army, in its memorable review, on the 24th of May, through the streets of the national capital. From that time it remained in camp near Washington till June 10, when it was mustered out of the service and ordered to Michigan. Covered with honor, the men of the 19th returned to Jackson, and were there paid off and discharged on or about the 15th of June, 1865.

THE 28th Infantry was completed by consolidation with it of partially-formed companies, originally intended to form the 29th Infantry. The rendezvous of the 28th was at Kalamazoo. One of its companies (C) was com- posed principally of Branch County men, and its first officers were all residents of Coldwater, viz., Captain, David B. Purinton (afterwards major) ; First Lieutenant, George W. Bowker; Second Lieutenant, Chauncey II. De Clute. A smaller number of men belonging to this county were in Company I, whose original lieutenants were Frank Plogert and Harlow E. MeCarey, both being citi- zens of Coldwater. A few men from Branch County were scattered among the other companies.
The organization of the 28th was completed in October, 1864, and it left Kalamazoo on the 26th of that month for Louisville, Ky., arriving at that city on the 29th. On the 10th of November it was ordered to Camp Nelson, to guard a wagon-train from that place to Nashville, Tenn. Arriving at that eity on the 5th of December, it was assigned to temporary duty, and from the 12th to the 16th took part in the defense of the place against the army of Hood. After the battle it remained on ordinary duty at Nashville until Jan. 11, 1865, when it was embarked on
steamboats, under orders to proceed to Eastport, Miss. But on reaching Paducah, at the mouth of the Tennessee River, orders were received changing its destination to Louisville, Ky. Arriving at Louisville Jamary 18, it was ordered to Annapolis, Md. ; but while on the way to that place a further modification of orders was received, under which it was moved to Alexandria, Va. There, having been assigned to the 21 Brigade, Ist Division, of the 23d Army Corps, it embarked on ocean transports for Morehead City, N. C., where it arrived February 24, and at once left by railroad for Newbern, reaching that point on the following day.
On the 2d of March the regiment moved, with its com- mand, on the road to Kinston, but encountered the enemy, under the rebel general Hoke, at Wise's Forks, and was there engaged on the 8th, 9th, and 10th, losing one officer and six men killed and thirteen wounded. After this affair, the march was continued, the regiment reaching Kinston on the 1-4th and Goldsboro' on the 21st of March. It was then with its brigade placed upon the duty of guarding the railroad line, and so continued until the 9th of April, when it was moved by way of Goldsboro' to Raleigh, arriving there on the 13th.
After the closing of the war by the surrender of John- ston, the 28th remained in North Carolina, engaged on duty at Goldsboro', Raleigh, Charlotte, Lincolntown, Wil- mington, and Newbern, till the 5th of June, 1866, when it was mustered out of service. It was paid off and dis- banded at Detroit, immediately after its arrival there, on the 8th of June, 1866.
