THIS regiment, including the recruits added on its reor- ganization, embraced the largest contingent of Hillsdale County soldiers of any in the service, and was likewise one of the most distinguished of the Michigan regiments for excellent discipline and unflinching valor. Previous to the reorganization the number of soldiers from this county who served in Company B was three; in Company C, seven ; in E, a hundred and seventeen; in H, ninety-five ; and in T, nine; total, two hundred and eighteen. In the new or- ganization there were seventy-one Hillsdale County men in Company A, twenty-three in Company B, twelve in C, one in D, seven in E, and seventeen in F; total, one hundred and thirty-one; making a grand total of three hundred and forty-nine ; sixty-three more Hillsdale County men than were contained in any other regiment.
When the war news first rang through the country two companies were immediately raised in Hillsdale County ; the headquarters of one being at Jonesville, and that of the other at Hillsdale. The former was called the " Grosvenor Union Guard," in honor of Hon. E. O. Grosvenor, of Jonesville, and was under the command of Capt. M. A. Funk, while the latter was known as the " Hillsdale Volun- teers," commanded by Capt. George W. Lombard, a promi- nent lawyer of that place.
The young men of Fayette, Litchfield, Scipio, and other

northern towns hastened to fill the ranks of the Grosvenor Guard, while those from the southern towns mostly enlisted in the Hillsdale Volunteers. A few, as has been seen, went into other companies. Being ordered to Adrian, where the 4th Infantry was in process of formation, Capt. Funk's com- mand became Company H of that regiment, while Capt. Lombard's became Company E.
The regiment was speedily filled up, and left Adrian on the 25th of June, 1861, with over a thousand men. Ar- riving in Virginia, the 4th took an active part in the move- ments connected with the first battle of Bull Run, and after that disastrous conflict it was one of the few regiments which retired in good order, covering the rear of the de- moralized army. The regiment also aided largely in the construction of the works around Washington.
During the winter of 1861-62 it was encamped at Miner's Hill, Va. In the spring of the latter year it went with Mcclellan's army to Yorktown, and thence up the Peninsula. On the 24th of May, it was on the north side of the Chickahominy, at New Bridge. An order came to make a reconnaissance in force. Five companies of the 4th were directed to cross the river. They plunged in under a heavy fire, and made their way steadily across. In many places the water was up to the men's necks, and they could only keep their cartridges dry by hanging the boxes on their bayonets and holding their rifles above their heads. Once on the other side, the battalion quickly formed and engaged in a desperate conflict with the celebrated Louisiana Tigers, driving them back with heavy loss. They were highly complimented by Gen. McClellan for their gallantry, and at once took rank among the best regiments in the service.
On the 26th of June the 4th took part in the battle of Mechanicsville, and in that of Gaines' Mills on the follow- ing day. Still retiring with the shattered Army of the Potomac, on the 1st of July it reached the hills of Malvern, where the Union forces stood at bay. The 4th Michigan was on the extreme left of the Union lines. One of the divisions of Stonewall Jackson's corps formed on its left, with the evident intention of turning its flank. The brigade to which the 4th belonged changed front, so as to face the enemy, and poured a deadly fire upon them. Meanwhile the gunboats in the James River, which lay so as to cover the Union flank, also opened fire on the foe with their big guns, throwing, as our informant expressed it, " shells as big as nail-kegs." As their terrible missiles, which cut off trees like pipe-stems, joined their destructive powers to the thick-flying bullets of the 4th Michigan and their comrade regiments, the rebels were very glad to retire in all haste from the position, and did not again attempt to occupy it.
During the fierce battle which followed, Col. Woodbury, the commandant of the 4th, was killed. Capt. George W. Lombard, of Hillsdale, was promoted to lieutenant-colonel of the regiment for gallant conduct at Malvern Hill, his commission dating from July 1,-the day of the battle. The total of casualties in the 4th during the battles of June and July was fifty-three killed, a hundred and forty- four wounded, and fifty-two missing; in all two hundred and thirty-one.
The regiment soon after went north with the Army of the
Potomac, being present in the battles of Gainesville, Second Bull Run, and Antietam, but without suffering very serious loss. Three days after the latter battle, on the 20th of September, 1862, the 4th was stationed on the east side of the Potomac, at Shepherdstown Ford. On the western side of the river was a rebel battery of five guns, which kept up a most annoying fire on the troops on the eastern side. Gen. Griffin, the commander of the brigade, rode up to the commander of the 4th, saying,-
" Can't you take your regiment quietly into the river after dark, march across, and capture that battery ?"
" I can try, sir," promptly replied the officer addressed.
" That's all that any one can do," said the general ; " go ahead and try it."
Accordingly, about nine o'clock at night, the 4th, alone, moved quietly down and took post in the bed of the Baltimore and Ohio Canal, which ran close to the bank of the river, and from which the water had been drained by the breaking of the locks. All orders were passed in a whisper, and the utmost care was taken to prevent any untimely noise from disclosing the enterprise to the enemy.
The men looked with considerable distrust on the under- taking; it seemed like a big job to ford a river a third of a mile wide in face of a hostile battery and capture it. However, the order was imperative, and few or none were disposed to flinch. When all was ready, the requisite orders, still in whispers, were passed along the line, and the men silently arose and passed over the bank into the river. The night was dark, and although the enemy's pickets were close to the water on the other side, they could see nothing of the movement which was in progress.
In some places the water was only ankle-deep, in others knee-deep, and in others waist-deep. In complete silence the line moved steadily forward until the middle of the stream was nearly reached. Then some of the men stum- bled on the slippery rocks, and, in saving themselves from falling, made considerable splashing in the water. The attention of the rebel pickets was aroused, and, on peering eagerly into the darkness, they could discern the dim line of the silent 4th making its way across the river. The next instant a dozen rifles flashed their angry welcome. Their leaden messengers whistled among the ranks of the advancing " Yankees," and the sharp reports re-echoed along the rocky banks of the Potomac.
No more need of silence now.
" Forward !" shouted the colonel ; " forward ! forward !" repeated the line-officers, and forward went the gallant regiment, all striving to see how quickly they could reach the shore.
On the other hand, the rebels, who seem to have been without much infantry support, got their guns ready for action as speedily as possible, and began a tremendous can- nonade. But the battery was on high ground, and by the time it opened fire the 4th was so close that the rebel balls went harmlessly over their heads. With a thundering cheer, the Union line charged up the steep, rushed with fixed bayonets upon the artillerists, and captured about twenty of them, while the rest fled at the top of their speed into the darkness, leaving their five cannon the prize of the conquerors. So well had the plan been arranged and carried
51

out that only two or three men were killed in what had at first appeared to be an undertaking of extreme danger. Its very audacity largely assisted its success.
Four of the guns thus taken had been captured by the rebels at the first Bull Run battle from the battery then commanded by Capt. Griffin, of the regular army, who in 1862 was the brigadier-general that ordered the assault just described, and who was intensely gratified at the unexpected recapture of his former pets.
After this exploit, the regiment engaged in the usual marches through the mud and snow of Virginia, until the battle of Fredericksburg, on the 13th and 14th of Decem- ber, 1862, in which it took an active part, having nine men killed and forty-one wounded. It remained in the vicinity of Fredericksburg until the 1st of May, 1863, when it became engaged in the battle of Chancellorsville, though not in the hottest part of the field. The total of casualties there-killed, wounded, and missing-was thirty.
Then followed the long march northward under a blazing sun, till on the 1st of July they reached the field of Gettys- burg. On the 2d they were in the thick of the fight, being then in the 5th Corps. Here they met the Louisiana Tigers, their old enemies of the Chickahominy, with other regiments, in one of the few hand-to-hand conflicts of the war. For a time the conflict was of the most deadly de- scription. Col. Jeffords, the commander of the regiment, fell dead pierced by half a dozen bayonets. Several other officers were killed and wounded. Lieut .- Col. Lombard assumed command and gallantly continued the fight, but the loss of the regiment was very serious. When, on the 4th of July, after the glorious victory of the Union arms was assured, the rolls of the 4th Michigan were called, it was found that twenty-eight men had been killed, eighty were wounded, and seventy-nine were missing.
After Gettysburg the 4th participated in the pursuit of the enemy and other movements of the Army of the Poto- mac, and was encamped during the winter of 1863-64 at Bealton, on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. Lieut .- Col. Lombard, of Hillsdale, was promoted to colonel, dating from the 3d of July, 1863.
On the 30th of April, 1864, the 4th broke camp, and set out on the great campaign which was only to close with the overthrow of the Rebellion. On the 5th, 6th, and 7th of May the regiment was engaged in the battle of the Wilder- ness. Though not in the thickest of the fight, it suffered a severe loss on the first-mentioned day, the gallant and genial Col. Lombard being mortally wounded by a rebel bullet.
On the morning of the 8th of May, the 4th, with the rest of Griffin's Division, arrived at Laurel Hill, between the Wilderness and Spottsylvania Court-House. They re- mained here during the 8th and 9th, exchanging frequent shots with the enemy, but without a heavy battle. On the morning of the 10th of May, while the 4th was supporting a battery, the enemy made a charge on the guns. The sup- ports remained in the rear, and the first charge was repulsed by the battery alone.
It was seen, however, that another and more determined charge was about to be made, and pretty soon the gray lines came rushing forward, sounding the well-known rebel yell. The brigade to which the 4th belonged was ordered to keep
quiet till the enemy was within about ten rods. Then, at the sound of the bugle, the Union line advanced rapidly to the battery and delivered a well-directed volley among the advancing Confederates. Scores of the latter fell, killed or wounded, before the deadly blast, but, with redoubled yells, the survivors rushed forward towards the coveted cannon. The 4th and their comrades stood their ground, and for a few moments a fierce hand-to-hand conflict raged among the guns and caissons. In some instances, when bayonets were knocked off the rifles were clubbed and shattered on the heads of foemen.
A brief experience of this kind of fighting was sufficient to satisfy the assailants, and very soon the gray-coats were seen streaming back to the shelter of their rifle-pits. Then a counter-charge was ordered, and with a cheer the Union brigade rushed forward, capturing a large number of pris- oners and taking and holding the first line of the rebel works. This was the signal for a general advance along the Union lines, by which several thousand prisoners were captured. In the brief conflict of the morning the 4th had twenty men killed and wounded, which was nearly ten per cent. of the number engaged.
The 4th was in the advanced lines of the 5th Corps throughout the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th days of May, a large part of the time being actively engaged as skirmishers. It also participated in a brisk conflict near Jericho Mills, on the North Anna River. In fact it was at this period engaged in fighting nearly every day and almost all day. On the 29th, 30th, and 31st days of May, and the 1st day of June it was skirmishing south of the Pamunkey River, and on the 3d of the latter month it took part in the capture of the enemy's works at Bethesda Church.
Crossing the James River, the regiment arrived in front of Petersburg on the 16th of June, and the next day was engaged in a skirmish. Its time expired on the 19th of June, and on that very day it took part in a sharp engage- ment, having eight men killed and wounded. That even- ing it was relieved from duty and the next day embarked for Washington. It arrived in Detroit on the 26th of June, and on the 30th was mustered out of service.
A hundred and twenty-nine of the men, however, had re-enlisted as veterans, which, with recruits who joined after the organization, brought up the number of those whose time had not expired to two hundred and eighty soldiers and three officers. These were assigned to duty with the 1st Michigan Infantry when the 4th left the seat of war.
Of the ten hundred and eighty-five gallant officers and men who left Adrian in the 4th Infantry for the front in June, 1861, there were only two hundred and twenty- three on the rolls at the time of muster out, in addition to the one hundred and twenty nine re-enlisted veterans. Of those who had been dropped from the rolls nearly two hun- dred had been killed in action or died of wounds. Only about fifty had died of disease during the whole time, but about two hundred and fifty were discharged for disability. The report for 1862 is defective, so that we cannot give the exact numbers. During the last eight months of ser- vice only twelve had died of disease, while forty had been killed in action, showing that the men had become pretty well seasoned to the hardships of camp-life.

HISTORY OF HILLSDALE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
THE REORGANIZED FOURTH INFANTRY.
The one hundred and twenty-nine veterans of the old 4th formed but a small basis for a new regiment, but a de- termined effort was made to organize one. The veterans were consolidated into two companies, and an order was issued for the enlistment of eight more. A camp was es- tablished at Adrian on the 26th of July, and Lieut .- Col. Hall of the old 4th was made colonel of the new organiza- tion. The work was completed in about two months and a half, and on the 14th of October, 1864, the new regiment was mustered into service. As before stated, there served in A company of the new 4th (commanded by Capt. Geo. A. Knickerbocker) seventy-one men of Hillsdale County ; in B company, twenty-three; in C, twelve; in D, one; in E, seven ; and in F, seventeen,-total, one hundred and thirty-one.
On the 22d of October the regiment left Adrian, pro- ceeding to Decatur, Ala., which they reached on the 28th, where their career was at once inaugurated by a battle with the forces of the rebel general Hood, who had already attacked that town. The assailants were repulsed, the 4th having only one man killed and four wounded. It was afterwards sent to Murfreesboro', where it was kept on picket and guard duty until the middle of January, 1865. It then went to Huntsville, Ala., where it was assigned to the 3d Division, 3d Brigade, 4th Army Corps.
In the latter part of March it was ordered to East Ten- nessee. It remained there, constantly on the march, about a month, when it returned to Nashville. It stayed at that point until the middle of June, when, with its corps, it was sent to New Orleans. It was then joined by the detach- ment of the old 4th Infantry which had previously been on duty with the 1st. The regiment proceeded to Texas in July.
The fighting was over but the service was severe ; owing to the heat, and the scarcity and badness of the water, many died. The regiment was on duty at various points in Texas, mostly at San Antonio and vicinity, until May 26, 1866, when it was mustered out of service at Houston, in that State. On the 10th of June it arrived at Detroit, where it was paid off and disbanded.
