COL. SHOEMAKER AND THE THIRTEENTHI.
In January, 1862, he was appointed colonel of the 13th Michigan Volunteer Infantry, joined the army of the Cumberland, and served for two years, taking part in the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Stevenson, and Stone River, or Murfreesboro. During the battle of Murfreesboro, the colonel and men of the Thirteenth won a most enviable name, and received public thanks in general orders for their magnificent charge, their capture of 58 prisoners, their recapture of two guns, which had been lost by the battery, after the other regiments of the brigade had been twice repulsed. While under Col. Shoemaker, the 13th Regiment marched three times across Kentucky, twice across Tennessee, into Mississippi, and once across Alabama, building the fort at Stephenson, and hold- ing it until Gen. Buell moved into Kentucky to repel Gen. Bragg.
The Nashville (Tenn.) Union named Col. Harker's brigade "a band of heroes," and in its review of the battle said : "But there is one regiment which deserved more than a passing notice. We refer to the 13th Michigan Infantry. The brigade was sent for- ward to check the advance of the rebel horde ; the 13th Michigan being one of the regiments held in reserve, the overwhelming force of the enemy brought against the advance line, drove the brigade steadily backward, when two guns, belonging to the 6th Ohio Battery, were captured by the enemy. He did not long hold them, as the 13th, which occupied a small cedar grove, was quickly formed, and rushed upon the enemy, yelling like hyenas, charged him, drove him back from his position, retook the lost pieces of artillery, and over 100 prisoners."
