THE 24th Infantry had only twenty-one men from Hills- dale County, two of whom were in Company B, four. in
D, one in F, six in G, two in H, one in I, and five in K. The regiment was raised mostly in Wayne County, its rendezvous being at Detroit. It left for Washington the last of August, 1862. Its first severe battle was at Fred- ericksburg, on the 13th and 14th of December, 1862, where it had twenty-three men killed and wounded. On the 29th of April, 1863, preliminary to the battle of Chan- cellorsville, the 24th and another regiment crossed the Rappahannock and drove the rebels from their rifle-pits, capturing one hundred and three prisoners, with a loss of only three killed and twenty-two wounded. The enemy left seventeen dead on the field. The regiment was not engaged in the main battle of Chancellorsville, but covered the retreat of the Union army.
At Gettysburg the 24th was a part of the first infantry engaged, and its loss on the first day was extremely severe, eight officers and sixty-five men being killed, thirteen offi- cers and two hundred and fourteen men being wounded, and three officers and ninety-one men being reported miss- ing, a total of three hundred and ninety-four. The twenty- one officers killed and wounded embraced nearly the whole number present. The regiment was not engaged during the second and third days of the battle.
The 24th was not again in any important conflict until it met the foe in the Wilderness, on the 5th of May, 1864, where it captured a number of prisoners and the colors of the 48th Virginia rebel infantry. It was also sharply engaged on the 6th and 7th of May, having sixty-four men killed and wounded during the three days. At and near Spottsylvania Court-House the 24th was under fire nearly every day for two weeks, having fifty men killed and wounded.
On the 23d of May the regiment defeated the enemy, which attacked it immediately after crossing the North Anna River. After some fighting near Cold Harbor, it advanced to the front of Petersburg, and on the 18th of June took part in the assault on that place, having one- third killed and wounded out of the little band of a hun- dred and twenty which gallantly advanced under its banner.
The regiment (scarcely more than a company in numbers) was severely engaged on the Weldon Railroad on the 19th of August, its casualties numbering twenty-five. Two days later it aided in defeating a rebel attack with great loss, this regiment alone capturing eleven rebel officers and sixty sol- diers.
Its next serious conflict was at Hatcher's Run, on the 6th and 7th of February, 1865, where it had twenty-two members killed and wounded. Being soon after sent to Springfield, Ill., on guard duty, it was not again under fire. It was mustered out at Detroit, on the 30th of June, 1865.

TWENTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY.
The formation of the 27th Infantry was ordered by the Governor, with the consent of the national administration, in September, 1862, the rendezvous being at Port Huron. Soon afterwards the formation of the 28th Infantry was ordered at Ypsilanti. Such heavy drafts, however, had already been made on the then sparse population of Michi- gan that recruiting went on but slowly, and in January, 1863, it was determined to consolidate the two regiments just named. On the 1st of February the 27th accordingly removed to Ypsilanti, where the consolidation was effected, the resultant regiment taking the name of the 27th. Another 28th Regiment was afterwards raised, unconnected with this.
Company K of the 27th was entirely recruited in Hills- dale County, and during the war ninety-six citizens of that county served in its ranks ; besides which, there were four- teen Hillsdale County men in Company D, twenty-eight in Company G, one in Company F, one in Company E, and two in Company H, making a total of a hundred and forty- one. In addition there was a company partly raised in Hillsdale County in the forepart of 1864 (fifty of its men being from that county), which was called the 2d Indepen- dent Company of Sharpshooters, and which joined the 27th in April, 1864, remaining with it during the war. Inclu- ding these, there were a hundred and ninety-one officers and soldiers of Hillsdale County in or connected with the 27th Infantry.
Only eight companies were filled when the regiment was ordered from Ypsilanti to Cincinnati, in April, 1863. The two other companies, however, soon joined it. After some service in Kentucky it was attached to the 9th Corps, and in June was sent to Mississippi. It took part in the operations which resulted in the capture of Vicksburg, and after the surrender had a sharp skirmish with the enemy near Jack- son. In August the regiment returned with the 9th Corps to Kentucky, and in September was ordered to Knoxville by way of Cumberland Gap.
On the 16th of November it was at Hoyt's Station, south- west from Knoxville, when Longstreet's army approached. The 27th with other regiments fell back toward Knoxville, closely followed by the rebels. In order to secure the trains a temporary stand was made at Campbell's Station, where this regiment had eleven men killed and wounded, besides eight missing. On reaching Knoxville the 27th took an active part in the celebrated defense of that place, where all the skill and valor of Longstreet's veterans were foiled by the steady courage of the Union volunteers, where every assault was defeated with disastrous loss, and whence at length the humbled Confederates retreated with shattered columns along the valley of the Tennessee. The regiment had eight killed and seventeen severely wounded during the month of November.
The 27th joined in the pursuit of the enemy, and after he had left the State remained in East Tennessee until the middle of January, 1864. It then marched to Ken- tucky, and was thence ordered to Maryland, where it was joined by the two companies of sharpshooters before men- tioned. In the latter part of April it joined the Army of the Potomac, and almost immediately plunged into the terrible series of conflicts so deeply marked with blood in our country's history, but destined to result in the preserva- tion of that country's existence.
Down to this time the regiment had not suffered very severely from the enemy's bullets, though its trials from hunger and cold around Knoxville had been very bitter, but it was now to know all the horrors of war and win all the glory that war confers. In the desperate conflict in the Wilderness on the 6th of May it had eighty-nine men killed and wounded, its commander, Maj. Moody, dying of wounds received there. At Spottsylvania Court-House it upheld its banner in the face of a still more destructive shower of rebel bullets, no less than a hundred and seventy- five officers and men being killed or wounded in those few hours of deadly strife. It should be remembered that all the 'regiments were greatly depleted by previous hardships and battles, and probably not over six hundred men entered the campaign under the banners of the 27th, including the two companies of sharpshooters. The regiment also took an active part in the battle of Bethesda Church, on the 3d of June, having seventy-six of its members killed and wounded.
Again it set forth on its blood-tracked path, escaping serious loss before the terrible lines of Cold Harbor, but having nearly a hundred men killed and wounded in the desperate charges on the enemy's works at Petersburg on the 17th and 18th of June. From the 8th to the 30th of July the regiment was in the advance immediately in front of the rebel forts, against which the Union engineers were directing their celebrated mine. When the mine was sprung, on the 30th of July, the 27th sprang forward to the assault, but shared the fate of so many other gallant regiments which were unable to force their way over the upheaved ground, the remaining intrenchments, and the storm of well-aimed bullets which still guarded the city. The casualties of the month of July, principally on the 30th, numbered one hundred and sixteen men killed and wounded.
On the 19th and 20th of August, the regiment took part in the battles near the Weldon Railroad, having seventeen men killed and wounded, and thirty-seven missing. It was also in the battle of Poplar Grove Church, on the 30th of September.
From the beginning of the campaign to the 1st of No- vember, the 27th lost one hundred and forty-eight men killed in action or died of wounds, while the wounded reached the enormous number of four hundred and ninety- five. There were also about fifty who died of disease, thirty taken prisoners, and eighty reported " missing in action," mostly killed or captured. These items probably equaled or surpassed the number of men in the regiment when it entered the campaign ; but its continued existence as an organization was due to the fact that a large part of the wounds were not such as to disable the men from further

fighting. Many of them, too, were wounded two or more times each. Some recruits were received, but not many.
During the winter of 1864-65 the regiment was engaged in very arduous picket and trench duty, but did not suffer from the enemy's bullets as during the preceding season. Recruits were also sent forward to join it, some prisoners were exchanged, some reported " missing" were found, and in the spring of 1865 the regiment was in quite respectable force.
On the 2d of April, at four o'clock in the morning, the 27th charged the rebel Fort Mahon, capturing the eastern part of it, with three cannon and a hundred and sixty-four priso- ners, and holding the position throughout the day, in spite of repeated assaults of the enemy. During the night the men threw up breastworks, connecting the captured fort with the Union picket-line, and at three o'clock on the morning of the 3d of April advanced into the long-besieged and now abandoned city of Petersburg.
After assisting in the capture of Lee's army and per- forming some less important duties in Virginia and the District of Columbia, the 27th was mustered out at Tenal- lytown, in that district, on the 26th of July, 1865, and paid off and disbanded at Detroit about the 30th of the same month.
