BERDAN'S FIRST AND SECOND UNITED STATES SHARP SHOOTERS
A condition precedent to admission to these regiments, which became famous during the war was, that no man would be accepted who could not, at 200 yards, put ten consecutive shots in a target, the average dis- tance not to exceed five inches from the center of the bullseye.
Eight states had company organizations in one or both of these regi- ments. Michigan had two companies, C and K, in the First, and one, Company B, in the Second. Calhoun county had one man in Company B of the Second, and about twenty out of a total enrollment of 156 in Company C of the First. The company lost eighteen killed in action, and five died of wounds: fourteen died of disease, and forty-seven were dis- charged for disability.
Calhoun county had but one commissioned officer, viz .: Henry C. Garrison, who entered Company C as a corporal and won his way by gradations to a captaincy, being commissioned October 15, 1863. He was wounded at Gettysburg.

FIRST MICHIGAN COLORED INFANTRY.
On July 25, 1863, Governor Blair was notified by the War Depart- ment as follows: "You are hereby authorized to raise one regiment of infantry to be composed of colored men, to be mustered into the United States service for three years or during the war. To these troops no bounties will be paid. They will receive ten dollars per month and one ration per day, three dollars of which monthly payment may be in clothing."
To Henry Barnes of Detroit was entrusted the work of recruiting and organizing the First Michigan Colored Infantry Regiment, which was subsequently changed by order of the War Department to the 102d Regiment United States Colored Troops. Recruiting was commenced in August, 1863, and on the 17th of February, 1864, it was mustered into the United States service, 895 strong.
Parts of Companies A and D were recruited from Calhoun county. The officers received their commissions from the War Department. Of these Chester J. Murry, of Battle Creek, was captain of Company A, and Abner Van Dyke, of Marshall, was first lieutenant of Company D.
The regiment left the state on the 28th of March, 1864, and was first assigned to the Ninth Army Corps as a part of the Army of the Potomac. It was soon after detached and sent by transports to Hilton Head, South Carolina. Its service was chiefly in the last named state and in Florida. In several minor engagements it acquitted itself with credit, reflecting honor upon the army as soldiers and upon the race as men.
Total enrollment, 1,673.
Killed in action, 5.
Died of wounds, 7. Died of disease, 116.
Discharged for disability (wounds and disease), 114.
