CHAPTER V.
THIRTEENTH INFANTRY.
THIS splendid regiment was recruited at Kalamazoo by Hon. Charles E. Stewart, who held the commission of colo- nel from Oct. 3, 1861, to Jan. 28, 1862, when he resigned, and was succeeded by Col. Michael Shoemaker. It was largely composed of men from Kalamazoo County, but there were in the vicinity of 100 mnen from Eaton and Ingham Counties seattered in various companies through the com- mand, the greater part being from Eaton County.
The regiment left Kalamazoo on the 12th of February, 1862, with 925 names on its muster-rolls, and proceeded to the army on the Tennessee by way of Bowling Green and Nashville. By a forced march it reached Pittsburg Landing in season to see the last of the battle of Shiloh, late in the afternoon of the 7th of April. From that date until the evacuation of Corinth, Miss., by the rebel army under Gen. Beauregard, it was engaged in picket and fa- tigue duty. When the army under Gen. Buell fell back towards Louisville, the Thirteenth was the last to leave Northern Alabama. It fell back upon Louisville with the balance of the army, and in October took part in the pur- suit of Bragg's army. It took an active part in the great battles around Murfreesboro', in the last days of 1862 and the opening ones of 1863. In the battle of Stone River its losses were 25 killed, 62 wounded, and 8 missing, out of a total of 224 men engaged, equivalent to more than forty per cent. On the 31 st of December it recaptured with the bayonet two guns which had been taken by the enemy. It was em- ployed upon the fortifications of Murfreesboro' until the latter part of June, 1863, when it moved with Rosecrans' army upon Tullahoma, and advanced as far as Pelham, at the foot of the mountains, from which point it returned and eneamped at Hillsboro' until August 16th, when it joined in the movement upon Chattanooga, reaching, in company with its division, the famous Sequatchie Valley on the 20th of the month. The division was in advance when approaching Chattanooga, and entered that place on the 8th of September.
In the great battle of Chickamauga, on the 19th and 20th of September, 1863, it bore an active part under Col. J. B. Culver, and sustained a loss of 14 killed, 68 wounded, and 25 missing, total 107, out of 217 officers and men which went into action,-nearly fifty per cent. Its losses during the year were: 51 men died in action or of wounds ; 66 died of disease ; 166 discharged, nearly all for disability ; 77 deserted or dropped from the rolls; 15 missing in action ; 32 taken prisoners ; 93 wounded in action. Total, 500.
On the 5th of November, 1863, the Thirteenth, Twenty- first, and Twenty-second Michigan Infantry Regiments and the Eighteenth Ohio Infantry were formed into a brigade of engineers, and -assigned to duty at Chattanooga, attached to the headquarters of the Army of the Cumberland. On the 22d, 23d, 24th, and 25th the Thirteenth took part in the battles for the possession of Chattanooga. During the months of December and January following it was sta- tioned along the Chickamauga Creek, engaged in picket duty and cutting timber for store-houses at Chattanooga.

MILITARY HISTORY.
In January, 1864, a large number of the men re-enlisted as veterans, and on the 5th of February left for Michigan, arriving at Kalamazoo on the 12th, where they were fur- loughed for thirty days. At the end of that time the regi- ment assembled at the rendezvous, and on the 26th of March again left Kalamazoo for the seat of war, with over 400 recruits in its ranks. It reached Chattanooga on the 20th of April, and from that date until the 25th of Sep- tember was stationed on Lookout Mountain, employed in erecting hospitals. At the last-mentioned date the regi- ment was assigned to duty in the Second Brigade, First Division, Fourth Army Corps ; but in the mean time took part in the pursuit of the rebels, under Gens. Forrest and Roddy, in Northern Alabama. It returned to Chatta- nooga on the 17th of October, and was soon after ordered to Rome, Ga., where it joined its brigade Nov. 1, 1864.
On the 7th of the same month it joined the army of Sherman, at Kingston, Ga., and made the great march to the sea, arriving in front of Savannah on the 16th day of December. The command followed the fortunes of the army in the movement north through South and North Carolina, and was engaged on the Catawba River, S. C., Feb. 28, 1865; at Averysboro', N. C., March 16th ; and at Bentonville, N. C., on the 19th of the same month. In the latter action it was fiereely engaged, and lost 110 men killed, wounded, and missing, among the killed being its commander, Col. W. G. Eaton, a brave and efficient officer.
It moved with the army upon Raleigh, in pursuit of Gen. Johnston, and, during the negotiations between that commander and Gen. Sherman, was stationed on the Cape Fear River, about thirty miles south of Raleigh. On the 30th of April it moved with the army northward, and reached Washington on the 19th of May. On the 24th it participated in the grand review of Sherman's army, and subsequently eneamped near the city, where it remained until the 9th of June, when it was ordered to Louisville, Ky. It was mnstered out of the service on the 25th of July, and paid and disbanded at Jackson, Mich., on the 27th.
