THE NINETEENTH MICHIGAN VOLUNTEER INFANTRV.
Company A of this regiment, Joel H. Smith, Captain, was composed almost wholly of Cass County men, and there were many in other companies of the regiment. The First Lieutenant, George T. Shaffer, of Calvin, arose to the position of Colonel. The Second Lieutenant was Reuben B. Larzelere. The company was organized in Dowagiac, in September, 1862.
The Nineteenth Regiment was assigned to the Sec- ond Congressional District to be recruited in the counties of Branch, St. Joseph, Cass, Berrien, Kala- mazoo, Van Buren and Allegan. Recruiting was commenced July 15, 1862. The camp of the Nine- teenth was at Dowagiac, and the Hon. Henry C. Gil- bert was its commandant and charged with the organization of the regiment. The regiment broke camp September 14, and in command of Col. Gilbert, took its route to Cincinnati, its strength being 995 officers and men. It was attached to the first division
of the Army of the Ohio, and was stationed in Ken- tucky October, November and December. On the 1st of January, 1863, the regiment was stationed at Dan- ville, and belonged to Col. Coburn's brigade, Baird's division, Army of Kentucky. This army having been transferred to the department of the Cumberland as a " reserve corps," the Ninetenth moved with its brigade to Nashville, where it arrived February 7, proceedling thence to Franklin. On the 4th of March, with 600 cavalry and 200 additional infantry, it took part with its brigale in a reconnaissance in force. After a march of four miles, skirmishing began with the enemy's scouts and advanced pickets, but the rebels retiring the brigade encamped, the Nineteenth having lost in the skirmish one wounded. The march having been resumed, the enemy was met upon the following day in force, at Thompson's Station, nine miles from Franklin. The Nineteenth with others fought stubbornly, against immense odds, repulsing attack after attack, struggling bravely but without hope. Defeat being inevitable, they finally surren- dered. The engagement was sanguinary. At times the contest was severe and the fighting terrific. Three charges were made by the enemy and gallantly repulsed. In one charge the Nineteenth captured the colors of the Fourth Mississippi and several prison- ers The surrender did not occur until after five hours of fighting. The rebel force proved to be the entire cavalry force of Bragg's army, 18,000 strong, under Gen. Van Dorn. The Nineteenth went into the action with 572 officers and men, of which num- ber 113 were killed and wounded. Such was the " baptism of fire " which this regiment received. The regiment was re-organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, and on the 8th of June, 1863, left Columbus, arriv- ing at Nashville on the 11th. It took part in the advance on Tallahoma in June. On the 23d of July, the regiment was ordered to Murfreesboro, and went upon garrison duty in the fortifications. From this time on till the close of its service, the Nineteenth took part in the following engagements : Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad, Tenn., October 5, 1863; Resaca. Ga., May 15, 1864 ; Cassville, Ga., May 19, 1864; New Hope Church. Ga., May 25, 1864 ; Golgotha, Ga, June 15, 1864 ; Culps Farm, Ga., June 22, 1864: Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864; siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 22 to September 2, 1864; Savannah, Ga., December 11, 18, 20, 21. 1864; Averysboro, N. C., March 16, 1865; Benton- ville, N. C., March 19, 1865.
The entire membership of the regiment was 1,238. of which it lost 237 men, as follows : 4 officers and 50 men killed in action; 3 officers and 38 men died of wounds, and 142 of disease.
