On the 23d of July it was ordered to the mouth of White River, Ark., where it was attached to a regi- ment of infantry. While en route from Vicksburg a de- tachment of the regiment, on board of a transport steamer, was fired upon by a rebel battery and lost two men killed and several wounded.
The command was encamped for a short time at St. Charles, and then returned to Morganza, where it was em- ployed in engineer service, but subsequently was returned to duty as heavy artillery by the chief of that branch of the service. It was present at the surrender of Fort Mor- gan, Ala., but took no part in the attack. On the 1st of October the regiment was divided, and portions were sta- tioned at Forts Gaines and Morgan, in Mobile Bay.
On the 23d of December, 1864, four companies were detached to accompany the expedition of Gen. Gordon Granger against Mobile, and temporarily attached as in- fantry to the brigade of Gen. Bertram, with which they continued until Jan. 27, 1865, when they were returned to the regiment. On the 31st of March, Companies A and K were detached from the command at Fort Morgan, and ordered to report to Gen. Granger at the front, cach supplied with a battery of ten-inch mortars. On their arrival at their destination they were placed in position in
front of the Spanish Fort, where they did fine execution at 1400 yards range. Upon the surrender of the fort the two companies manned and turned the captured guns, con- sisting of seven-inch Brooks rifles, and one 100-pounder Parrot, against the remaining rebel forts (Huger and Tracy), which were soon compelled to surrender.
On the 10th of April, Company B was placed on picket duty at Navy Cove, and Company E was assigned to gar- rison duty at Fort Powell. Companies A and K rejoined the regiment at Fort Morgan on the 20th of April, and on the 9th of July the command was ordered to report to Gen. Sheridan at New Orleans, which place it reached on the 11th, and went into camp at Greenville, four miles from the city. There it was furnished with new camp equipage and a wagon-train, and placed under orders for Texas ; but on the 5th of August orders were received to muster it out of service, which was completed on the 20th, and on the 30th it arrived at Jackson, Mich., where it was paid and disbanded on the 5th of September. Its total losses during its term of service were sixty-five men killed or died of wounds, and 450 died of disease, the greatest loss by dis- ease sustained by any Michigan regiment during the war.
