A characteristic account of the battle given by a rebel paper (the Atlanta Register of Feb. 29, 1864) was as fol- lows : " On Thursday, the 25th, the enemy commenced, about nine A.M., to skirmish with our pickets and sharp- shooters, At one p.M. the Federal general, Morgan, ad- vanced on our right centre to force the Gap. They were gallantly met by Reynolds' brigade, of Stevenson's division, Clayton's brigade, of Walker's division, and Stavall's bri- gade, of Stewart's division, when a lively fight took place. The enemy made three desperate assaults to take the Gap,

and were repulsed each time with great slaughter, being enfiladed at the same time by our artillery. We captured some twenty prisoners, among them Lieut .- Col. C. J. Dick- erson, of the 10th Michigan, which regiment alone lost two hundred and fifty killed and wounded. That night the enemy fell back behind their intrenchments,-some three or four miles from our front line,-and a portion of their forces moved over to our left, and succeeded in taking a gap leading to the Lafayette road, through Sugar Valley, three miles south of Dalton."


It will be noticed that while this account makes the loss of the 10th more than five times what it really was in killed and wounded, it admits that the two regiments which formed the Union attacking column encountered a rebel force of three brigades in a strongly-fortified position. In fact, neither the 10th nor the 60th llinois had all its strength present in the fight,-only eight companies of each, making a total of about nine hundred men, being engaged.


On the 26th the regiment with its brigade was relieved, and marched to Ringgold, from which place it returned to camp at Rossville, on the 27th. About the 5th of March, the veterans of the 10th left the Rossville camp, and moved to Chattanooga en route for Michigan, and arrived at De- troit on the 11th. There they received the veteran fur- lough, with orders to reassemble at its expiration at the rendezvous,-the city of Flint. Upon reassembling they remained in Flint for some days,-a visit which was long remembered by both soldiers and citizens. The veterans and recruits left Flint on the 20th of April, and moved by way of Fentonville to Detroit, thence by way of Kalamazoo and Lafayette to Jeffersonville, Ind., Louisville, Ky., and Nashville, arriving at the latter city April 24th. They left Nashville on the 27th, and marched to Chattanooga, where they arrived on the 11th of May, and on the 12th marched to their old winter-quarters at Rossville, which were found undisturbed and in good condition. On the 13th they marched in search of the brigade (which had moved for- ward with the army May 2d), and overtook it in the morn- ing of the 16th, marching nineteen miles farther the same day, with Gen. Jeff. C. Davis' division, which was moving towards Rome. On the 17th the regiment took part in the fight at Oostanaula River, and in the capture of Rome ou the following day, both without loss. Then followed a series of' marches and manœuvres by which the 10th moved to Dallas, to Ackworth, Ga., and to near Lost Mountain, and reached the base of Kenesaw Mountain on the 19th of June. On the 27th, it formed part of the reserve of the charging column at Kenesaw. Its losses during June were fourteen killed and wounded.


The enemy having evacuated his works at Kenesaw, the 10th took part in the pursuit, marching on the 3d of July, and reaching the Chattahoochee River on the 17th. On the 19th it advanced to Durant's Mill, on Peachtree Creek, and took part in the actions of that and the following day, losing twenty-three killed and wounded. Through the remainder of July, and nearly all August, it lay in the lines of invest- ment before Atlanta. August 30th it moved with a recon- noitering column to Jonesboro', and took part in the battle at that place on the 1st of September, charging across an


open field on the enemy's works, and losing thirty killed and forty-seven wounded, among the former being the com- manding officer of the regiment, Maj. Burnett. It was claimed for the 10th that in this action it took more prisoners than the number of men which it carried into the figlit. For its conduct on this occasion it was compli- mented by Gens. Thomas, Davis, and Morgan, the corps, division, and brigade commanders.


On the 28th of September the 10th left Atlanta and moved by rail to Chattanooga, Stevenson, Huntsville, Athens, and Florence, Ala., tearing up the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. For several days it was in pursuit of Wheeler's and Forrest's cavalry, but did not overtake them. On the 13th of October the regiment moved by rail back to Chattanooga, where it remained five days, and on the 18th again took the road, moving to Lee and Gordon's Mills, Ga., to Lafayette, to Summerville, up Duck Creek, through Broomtown Valley, and Alpine, Ga., across the mountains into Alabama, to Gaylesville (October 22d ), and then back to Rome, Ga., where it was in camp November Ist. On the 9th it was at Etowah, Ga., and on the 13th at Cartersville, where, at six o'clock A.M. on that day, it "bade good-by to the cracker line, and to all communications, and plunged into the Confederacy with four days' rations, marching south and tearing up the railroad as we moved." On the 13th it made fifteen miles, on the 14th twenty-five miles, and on the loth fifteen miles, burning the bridge over the Chatta- hoochee, and reaching Atlanta at two o'clock in the after- noon of that day.


" As we approached Atlanta," wrote an officer of the 10th, "a huge column of black smoke was seen, and soon we found the railroad depots and buildings, with the foun- dries and manufactories, a burning mass." When night closed in the whole heavens were illuminated by the glare of the conflagration, and the innumerable camp-fires of the Union hosts which lay encircling the conquered city, busy with their final preparations for the storied March to the Sea.


The forces composing the great army which Sherman had concentrated here for the mysterious expedition, whose destination was then only a matter of conjecture, were com- posed of four corps d'armée-the 17th (a consolidation of the old 16th and 17th) and the 15th forming his right wing, and the 14th and 20th forming the left wing of his grand army of invasion. In that army the position of the 10th Michigan was with the 1st Brigade, 2d Division of the 11th Corps. The other regiments of the brigade were the 14th Michigan, the 16th and 60th Illinois, and the 17th New York, all under Col. Robert F. Smith as brigade commander.


The right wing was the first to move out ; then came the 20th Corps, and lastly the 14th, and with this corps the 10th Regiment marched away at noon on the 16th of No- vember. A distance of eleven miles was made during the afternoon, and at night the brigade bivouacked near the celebrated Stone Mountain, a round-topped knob of solid limestone about one mile in diameter at the base, and rising bare and gray from the level plain to a height of about thirteen hundred feet. From this halting-place the regi- ment set out at six o'clock in the morning of the 17th, and,

with fine weather and a good road, made a march of fifteen miles, passing through the decaying settlements of Lassonia and Conyers' Station. On the 18th the Yellow and Alcova Rivers, tributaries of the Ocmulgee, were crossed on pou- toons, and the tired men of the 10th lighted their bivouac fires in the vicinity of Covington, the seat of justice of Newton County. During this day they had marched as train-guard, and made a distance of ten miles.


In the morning of the 19th they resumed their journey at six o'clock, in a drizzling rain, and at night found them- selves twenty miles from Covington, and twice that distance from each of the towns of Macon and Milledgeville. The evening of the 20th saw them encamped three miles from Eatonton and fifteen from Milledgeville. ITere the dull boom of distant artillery was heard; this being the first hostile sound which they had heard since their departure from Atlanta. Their march of the 21st was commenced at ten A.M. and was continued nutil three P.M., at which time twelve miles had been accomplished, and they went into camp for the night.


No move was made on the 22d. Orders were here read to the regiment, giving the liberty to forage on the country, and to appropriate anything necessary for the sustenance of man or beast. "These orders [said a letter written by a soldier of the 10th] are generally lived up to, and often ex- ceeded. The citizens, ou hearing of our approach, take everything of value to the woods and swamps and cover them with brush, or bury them in the ground. But the 'Yanks' were not long in discovering this, and but little is presumed to have escaped their notice. Sweet potatoes, meal, flour, various kinds of liquor, tobacco, silk, and even coin, were thus unearthed from their hiding-places, and many a frolie was had by the blue-coats at the Confederates' expense.


" It was truly amusing to go ahead of the army proper and see the foragers' proceedings. They were as good as skirmishers and advance guards, and often were the only ones we had. They never failed to rout the rebels when- ever and wherever found. Citizens could tell our approach long before the army came along, by the popping of guns, squealing of hogs, and the noises of various farm fowls. Nothing escaped the foragers' notice, and but little that was serviceable to us eluded their grasp. When they came to a plantation they generally separated into small squads, cach squad hunting for some special thing. As if taoght by instinct that we meant them harm, all animals and fowls tried to secrete themselves or get out of reach of us. Hogs, sheep, and cattle would take to the woods, fowls to the outbuildings, and turkeys to the trees. But it was all of no avail. The enterprising and persistent Yankees, prompted by hunger and the thoughts of a savory dish, were sure to hunt them out and bring them to. We had orders not to fire our guns to procure food, but that order was only partially lived up to. Any animal which we could not corner and catch we shot, and when the fowls took to the trees or the tops of buildings the Enfield riffe was sure to bring them down. Often would the fat turkeys take shelter in the trees, and cry quit, quit' .but there was no quit. Occasionally the foragers would find a lot of tobacco, honey, or sorghum molasses. Then there was a rush and


scramble. To many, a swarm of bees was no more an in- pediment to the getting of the honey than if they had been so many bluc-flies. A crowd of soldiers might be seen around a barrel of molasses, the head knocked in, and they with their cups filling their canteens, coffee pots, little pails, and every available kind of vessel that would hold the sweet fluid. At all hours of the day they might be seen coming in and taking their places in the ranks with face, hands, and clothes besmeared with molasses and honey. To see them, one might think they would stick to the Union, or to anything else ; and they would, too. Such was foraging in Georgia, and even more than can be described with the pen. Imagination must supply the rest."


In the morning of November 23d, at six o'clock, the regiment was again on the road, and marched leisurely to within two miles of Milledgeville, where it rested for the night. About noon of the 24th it passed through Milledge- ville, and at night the men built their fires eight miles be- youd the town. Here the foragers brought in a ton and a half of captured flour found secreted in a swamp. On the 25th a distance of eleven miles was made, and in the after- noon of the 26th the brigade reached Sandersville, the county-seat of Washington County. The marches of the 27th and 28th brought the regiment to a camping-place one mile south of Louisville, the county-seat of Jefferson, where it remained for three days picketing and foraging.


In the first five days of December the men of the 10th marched sixty-three miles, and camped on the night of the 5th at Briar Creek, sixty miles from Savannah. During the 6th and 7th they made thirty-six miles, though contin- ually impeded by timber felled across the road and bridges destroyed by the enemy. They had now entered the marshy country lying along the south side of the Savannah River. Their march of the Sth was uneventful, but on the 9th they came upon a hostile battery of three guns, so posted as to command a road or causeway over which they were compelled to pass through one of the swamps which were numerous in that region. The 2d Illinois Battery was ordered into position, and soon cleared the road, but with the loss of one of its lieutenants killed. The rebel battery on its retreat encountered the 20th Army Corps, and was captured. On the 10th, the regiment with its brigade moved southward to the crossing of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, and went on picket in that vicinity. In the morning of the following day they marched nine miles south, and took position in the Union line of invest- ment four and a half' miles from Savannah,-one line being formed to face the city, and another facing towards the country through which they had just passed. They had completed a distance of nine hundred and forty miles, marched since the 28th of September, and now sat down to the siege of Savannah.


The city was defendel by fifteen thousand to twenty thousand men behind exceedingly strong fortifications, and the artillery fire under which the 10th in common with other regiments lay was unintermitting day and night. On the 14th news was received of the capture and occupation of Fort Mc Allister, south of the city. The first mail re- ceived by the regiment in a period of six weeks came to it here on the 17th. Finally, in the night of December 20th-

IIISTORY OF GENESEE COUNTY, MICIIIGAN.


21st, the enemy evacuated the city, and on the 21st the 10th marched in.


The regiment remained a little more than four weeks in Savannah, and on the 20th of January, 1865, it moved with the army up the right bank of the Savannah River, bound north. It reached Sister's Ferry, on the Savannah, January 28th, and remained there until the night of Sunday, February 5th, when, with the other troops of the command, it crossed to the north side of the river. "Shouts and wild hurrahs rent the welkin as the feet of each successive regiment touched the soil of Carolina,"-so wrote an officer of the 10th who was present at this memorable crossing. The regiment remained here two days before moving north, and while here ( February 6th) the non-veterans of the 10th were mustered out of the service, just three years having expired since the completion of the original muster at Camp Thomson.


The regiment moved on the Sth, and passed through South Carolina without the occurrence of any especially notable event in its own immediate experience. The march through this State was much the same as it had been through Georgia, excepting that here the foragers found a far less productive field, and the track of the army was marked by a far more general destruction of property than in Georgia, nearly all the buildings being burned, and only the tall, naked chimney-stacks being left standing; while all along the western and northwestern horizon great columns of smoke by day, and the red glow of conflagra- tions by night, told how the cavalry of Kilpatrick were wreaking their treasured vengeance against the Palmetto State.


The 10th Regiment reached Fayetteville, N. C., March 11th, and was there slightly engaged in a skirmish with the enemy. On the 12th it crossed the Cape Fear River, skirmishing at Averysboro', and on the 16th was again en- gaged at the same place, losing three men killed. Moving in advance of the corps on the 18th, six companies being deployed as skirmishers, they struck the enemy about noon, and a lively skirmish ensued. The regiment was ordered to take position at the jonction of the Smithfield and Goldsboro' roads, and during the night it was attacked, but repulsed the enemy, and held its position until relieved by troops of the 20th Corps, on the 19th, when it moved and formed on the right of the second line of battle at Bentonville. About four P.M. the enemy moved up in heavy masses, and charged the first line, but was repulsed. Then the 10th, with its brigade, moved forward to the first line, and in a few minutes the enemy was discovered coming in on the left flank. The line was at once changed to the opposite side of the works, and, after pouring a volley into the ranks of the rebels, they were charged and driven with the bayonet, many prisoners and arms being taken. On the 20th the regiment skirmished during the entire day and night, and on the 21st moved towards Goldsboro', reaching there on the 23d. Moving from Goldsboro', it reached Smithfield April 10th and Raleigh April 13th. From Raleigh it moved to Avery's Ferry, forty-five miles above Fayetteville, and lay there from the 15th to the 21st of April, when it moved to Holly Springs, on the road to Raleigh. On the 28th it was at Morseville, N. C., and there


received the announcement that its campaigning was over and the war ended by the surrender of Johnston. In its passage through the two Carolinas the regiment had sus- tained a loss of fifteen, killed, wounded, and missing.


Moving north on the 30th of April, the 10th arrived at Richmond, Va., May 7th, and remained there till the 10th, when it marched on towards Washington, reaching there about the 16th., It took part in the grand review of Gen. Sherman's army at the capital on the 24th. It moved on the 13th of June, and proceeded to Louisville, Ky., where it was mustered out of the service July 19th, and ordered to Michigan. It reached Jackson on the 22d, and was paid off and discharged Aug. 1, 1865.


The length and severity of this regiment's marches during its term of service were remarkable. It is shown that during 1862 and 1863 its foot-marches aggregated sixteen hundred miles ; that its marches in 1864 amounted to thirteen hundred and seventy-five miles, and those in 1865 to six hundred and twenty miles,-a total of three thousand five hundred and ninety-five miles, this being exclusive of the distances accomplished by railroad and steamer. There were few, if any, regiments in the service whose marching record surpassed this. The brigade to which the 10th was attached during the period of its re- markable marchings through Tennessee, Georgia, and Ala- bama was quite generally known among the men of the Southwestern army as " Morgan's brigade of Davis' foot- cavalry." the division being that commanded by Gen. Jeff. C. Davis.
