army previous to the Civil war. His first service with the Volunteers was as lieutenant colonel of the Thirteenth Michigan, which position he resigned to command the Twenty-fifth.
In this regiment Calhoun county had one full company which was designated by the letter A. Homer village and township and Fredonia township furnished a large proportion of the recruits for the company from this county. Charles B. Pratt, of Marshall, was largely instrumental in recruiting the company and was made captain at the organization. For nearly two years Captain Pratt was on duty as executive officer at the military prison at Louisville, Kentucky. He was repeatedly compli- mented in official reports. The surgeon and aeting medical inspector, of prisoners, in his report of October, 1863, to the authorities at Washing- ton said. "I commend Captain Pratt most highly for the condition to which he has brought the prison under his command."
Another inspecting officer in his report of December 3, 1864, said, "Great credit is due Captain Pratt for his efficient discharge of the duties of his position," and still another inspector whose report is dated January 21, 1865, says: "Captain Pratt, executive officer of the prison, certainly deserves credit for the efficient and faithful manner in which he discharges the duties of his position."
Orange Bugbee, of Homer, was first lieutenant from August 10, 1862. to April 27, 1864, when he was honorably discharged for disability.
Norris J. Frink, of Marshall, went out with the company as second lieutenant, but resigned October, 1863, and later re-entered the service as captain in the Twenty-eighth Infantry.
Abner Van Dyke, of Marshall, entered the service August 19, 1862, as a private in Company A, February 7, 1864; he was made first lieutenant in the One Hundred and Second U. S. Colored Infantry.
The Twenty-fifth left Kalamazoo September 29, 1862, for Louisville, Kentucky, at which time the Confederate army under General Bragg was threatening the capture of that city. During the winter and spring of 1862 and 1863 it was on provost duty at Bowling Green and at Louis- ville.
One of the most notable of the minor engagements of the war was the repulse on July 4, 1863, of General John H. Morgan's division, estimated as 3.000 strong, by five companies of the Twenty-fifth under command of Colonel Moore. In the early morning General Morgan sent an officer under a flag of truce demanding an "immediate and unconditional sur- render" of the Federal forces. Colonel Moore, who had selected, at Gibb's bend, and fortified, an admirable position for defense, met the offi- cer bearing the demand and said to him: "Present my compliments to General Morgan and say to him that this being the Fourth of July I can- not entertain the proposition to surrender." After three and one-half hours of fighting Morgan withdraw, leaving as many dead and wounded on the field as the Michigan commander had men. Twenty-two commis- sioned Confederate officers were among the killed and wounded, two of the dead being field officers. The number of killed and wounded Confed- erates was equal to the whole number of Federals engaged. The Michigan commander and his men received for their gallant condnet the thanks of the commander of the Ninth Army Corps published in General Orders.
