We have found "Michigan in the War," by the late Adjutant General John Robertson, a fruitful source of information. Greely's "American Conflict" has some valued reference to Michigan troops. To some extent we have availed ourself of a "History of Calhoun County," published in 1877 by L. II. Evarts & Company of Philadelphia. For statistics we have relied largely upon "Statistical Record of the United States Army" by Frederick Phisterer, an officer in the regular army. For the military history of each soldier who enlisted from this county we are indebted to a most valuable compilation made in the office of the adjutant general at Lansing during the administration of the late Governor Bliss.

We have already spoken of the First Michigan-three month's regi- ment, of its prompt recruitment and equipment, of its journey to Washington and of the favorable comments it received enroute and on its arrival at the National capital. From the steps of the executive mansion the regiment was reviewed by President Lincoln, by whom it was complimented not only on its soldierly appearance but also on the fact that is was the first regiment from out the great west to reach the endangered capital.
FIRST MICHIGAN ENTERS VIRGINIA
Eight days after its arrival in Washington it participated in one of the memorable incidents of the war. The city of Alexandria located on the Potomac nearly midway between Mount Vernon and the capital was in the possession of the Confederates. From some of the windows in the White House Mr. Lincoln with the aid of a field glass could see a Confederate flag floating defiantly over Alexandria.
DEATH OF ELLSWORTII
An expedition by land and water was sent against the town. The brilliant young Ellsworth was sent with his regiment, the New York Zouaves, by steamer down the Potomac while the land force advanced under General Heintzelman. The latter command included the First Michigan which was among the first Federal troops to cross the famous "long bridge" and enter the state of Virginia. Colonel Wilcox com-

manding the First Michigan reported at 5:30 o'clock on the morning of May 24th, the capture of Alexandria with a number of prisoners. Colonel Ellsworth had advanced from the river landing and with his own hands had removed the objectionable Confederate flag, but in doing so was shot and instantly killed. His assailant was at once shot to death by a soldier of the First Michigan regiment. The tragic death of the promising young officer cast a gloom over the entire country.
AT FIRST BULL RUN
The First had the honor to participate in the battle of Bull Run which took place near Manassas Junction, Virginia, on the 21st of July, 1861, and was the first serious engagement of the war. While this battle resulted disastrously to the Union arms, it brought great credit to many of the Union troops and perhaps to none more than the First Michigan Infantry.
Major General Heintzleman who commanded the division in which the First fought says in his official report: "The First Michigan on the extreme right held the most advanced position we occupied that dis- astrous day."
Colonel Wilcox, commanding the brigade, says in his official report : "The First Michigan deserves the credit of advancing farther into the enemies lines than any other of our troops as their dead bodies proved after the battle."
Colonel J. II. Hobart Ward of 38th New York Infantry who suc- ceeded to the command of the brigade after Wilcox was wounded and captured, said in his report : "The officers and men of the First Miehi- gan nobly discharged their duty to their country and well may their state feel proud of her defenders."
Major Alonzo F. Bidwell. who commanded the regiment during the battle, in his official report says: "Hurried into action after a march of twelve miles over an exeeedingly dusty road with bnt little water and no time for rest and refreshment, our fatigued men evineed a eourage, coolness and endurance that entitles them to the highest praise."
The regiment went into action four hundred and seventy-five men and twenty-five commissioned officers, strong, and returned with a loss of nine offieers and one hundred and eight men killed, wounded and miss- ing, being a proportion of one-third of the officers and one-fifth of the men lost or injured in the vicissitudes of the day.
Among the wounded officers was Lientenant Warner of Co. I, of Mar- shall, who was taken from the field and cared for in a hospital in Wash- ington. Among the killed was Calvin Colgrove from Marshall. He was color sergeant of the First regiment and was shot early in the engage- ment. It is believed that Marshall has the honor of furnishing, in Col- grove's death, the first sacrifice Michigan made in the war for the Union. The C. Colgrove Post, Grand Army of the Republic, located at Marshall, fittingly commemorates the name of the dead hero. The regiment, on the expiration of its three months' term of service, returned and was mus- tered ont August 7, 1861.
The First regiment as a three-years organization, was recruited in

He was captain in the United States army. having graduated from the Military Academy at West Point with the class of 1839. He had a brilliant record as an officer in the Union army. rising to the rank of major general of volunteers. Ile was several times brevetted for meritorious service and in 1869 was retired with the rank of major general because of wounds received in the line of duty.
CALHOUN COUNTY OFFICERS
There was not any one company complete from Calhoun in the New First, but there were recruits from the county in several companies. Hiram S. Warner, of Marshall, who served in the three-months regi- ment as second lieutenant of Company I, entered the three-year regiment as first lieutenant of Company I, and Oliver C. Comstock, of Marshall, was made second lieutenant of Company E. He was a brave and gallant officer ; made first lieutenant November 18, 1861; captain, May 26, 1862; killed in action at Gaines Mill, June 27, 1862. Colonel Horace S. Rob- erts who commanded the regiment in the battle spoke of Comstock as a "brave and promising officer." Lieutenant Warner was made captain on the 10th of December, 1861; resigned in January, 1862, and in July of the same year reentered the service as first lieutenant and adjutant of the 20th Infantry.
The First took part in the peninsula campaign under MeClellan: was in the second battle of Bull Run in Fitzjohn Porter's command ; it fought at Antietam, Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and in the surrender at Appomatox. The regiment was mustered out at Louisville, Kentucky, July 9, 1865, and on the 12th, was paid off at JJackson, Michi- gan. The total enrollment in the regiment, including the three-monthis and the three-years service, was 1,884. Of these there were killed in action, 130; died of wounds, 39; died in Confederate prisons, 9; died of disease, 76; discharged for disability (wounds and disease), 303.

THE SECOND MICHIGAN INFANTRY
Was made up almost wholly of uniformed militia companies which in obedience to orders assembled in camp of instruction on the old fair grounds in Detroit during the last week of April, 1861. The first colonel of the Second was Israel Bush Richardson, who was graduated from the military academy 1840. He was brevetted captain for gallant and meritorious service in the war with Mexico. He was made a brigadier and major general successively in the Union army ; was mortally wounded at Antietam; his body rests in Oak Hill cemetery, Pontiac, Michigan. The regiment participated in the peninsula campaign under MeClellan, being commanded by Colonel Orlando M. Poe, who succeeded Richardson when the latter was promoted to brigader general. Col. Poe was also a graduate of West Point, who became especially distinguished as a civil engineer. His greatest single achievement as an engineer was subse- quent to the war in the building of the the "Poe Lock" at the Sault St. Marie, which at the time of its construction was the largest lock in the world.
The third regimental commander was William H. Humphrey, a civilian who entered the service from Adrian as captain of Company D. He was commissioned colonel in April, 1863, and commanded his regi- ment with great skill and gallantry under Burnside in Kentucky and Tennessee and later in the great battles of the Army of the Potomac. He became a brigade commander and was brevetted brigadier general for conspicuous and gallant service. Edwin J. March was made lieutenant colonel April 1, 1864, and colonel September 30 same year. A brave and capable officer.
The fifth and last colonel of this regiment was Frederick Schneider, who rose from the ranks step by step through almost every grade of non- commissioned and commissioned officer until April 18, 1865, when he was made colonel. Col. Schneider is the only commander of the regiment now living. At his home in Lansing he is as modest and retiring in peace as he was brave and gallant in war.
