SIXTH INFANTRY.
This regiment was recruited by Col. Fred. W. Curtenius" at Kalamazoo in the summer of 1861. Col. Curtenius was a veteran of the Mexican war. The regiment left Kala- mazoo, Aug. 30, 1861, its rolls showing nine hundred and forty-four men. The 6th, which was afterwards organized . as heavy artillery, was peculiarly situated during the war, by reason of its almost entire isolation from other Michigan regiments. It was on duty at Baltimore, Md., during most of the winter of 1861-62. Early in March, 1862, it sailed for Ship Island, Miss., and from thence in April proceeded to New Orleans, and was one of the first regiments to enter that city upon its surrender to Gen. Butler and Adm. Far- ragut. On the 15th of May it sailed up the Mississippi, and was engaged in the battle at Baton Rouge on the 5th of June, and again at the same place on the 5th of August, losing on the latter day fifty-three men.
From Aug. 20, 1862, until Dec. 6th, the regiment was stationed at Mettarie Ridge, guarding one of the approaches to New Orleans. This location was exceedingly unhealthy, and the command was so reduced that on the 6th of De- cember, when it moved to New Orleans, only one hundred and ninety-one, out of an aggregate of seven hundred and fifty-five, were fit for duty ; but the men soon recovered upon their arrival in the city.
In January, 1863, the regiment was with the expedition, under Gen. Weitzel, to Bayou Teche, which destroyed a rebel gunboat. In the early part of February it was stationed a few miles out from New Orleans, and on the 23d of the month accompanied an expedition to Poncha- toula, where it had quite a sharp skirmish, losing two men wounded. On the 12th of May it made a raid on the Jackson Railroad, destroying a camp at Tangipahoa, cap- turing sixty prisoners, and destroying property of the value of four hundred thousand dollars. On the 21st of the month it embarked for Port Hudson, where it arrived on the 23d.
During the siege of this stronghold by Gen. Banks it was in an advanced position, and participated in the assaults of May 27th and June 14th, in which it lost severely. On the 29th of June a detachment of thirty-five men formed the forlorn hope of an assaulting column which attacked the "citadel," but were driven back with a loss of eight killed and nine wounded.
By an order of Maj .- Gen. Banks, commanding the De- partment of the Gulf, issued on the 10th of July, following the surrender of Port Hudson, the 6th was converted into a heavy artillery regiment, and on the 30th of the same month the order was approved by the Secretary of War.
The regiment was stationed at Port Hudson from the last-mentioned date until March 11, 1864, engaged in gar- rison duty. At the latter date, the men having mostly re-enlisted as veterans, the command proceeded to Kala- mazoo, Mich., on furlough for thirty days. On the 11th of May it arrived at Port Hudson with its ranks well filled

by men recruited in Michigan. On the 6th of June it was ordered to Morganza to serve as infantry, at which place it remained until the 24th, when it proceeded to Vicks- burg, where it joined the engineer brigade.
On the 23d of July it was sent to the mouth of White River, Ark., and thence to St. Charles, in that State, where it was attached to a regiment of infantry. A detachment of the regiment, while on a transport en route from Vicks- burg to White River, was fired upon by a rebel battery, and lost two men killed and several wounded.
It remained but a short time at St. Charles, when it returned to Morganza, where it was for some time em- ployed on engineer service, but subsequently was returned to duty as heavy artillery by the chief of artillery. It was present at the surrender of Fort Morgan, Ala., but not in time to participate in the bombardment. On the 1st of October portions of the regiment were stationed at Forts Gaines and Morgan, in Mobile Bay.
On the 23d of December, 1864, four companies were detached for an expedition under Gen. Gordon Granger against Mobile, and were temporarily attached as infantry to the brigade of Gen. Bertram, with which they continued until Jan. 27, 1865, when they were returned to the regi-
ment. 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, each being equipped with a battery of ten-inch mortars. On their arrival they were placed in position under the guns of the Spanish Fort, where they did fine execution at fourteen hundred yards' range. Upon the surrender of this fort the two companies manned and turned the captured guns, consisting of seven- inch Brooks rifles, and one-hundred-pounder Parrotts, on the remaining rebel forts, Huger and Tracy, which soon after surrendered.
April 10th, Company B was placed on picket duty at Navy Cove, and Company E was assigned to duty in gar- risoning Fort Powell. Companies A and K rejoined the garrison at Fort Morgan, April 20th, and on the 9th of July the regiment was ordered to report to Gen. Sheridan at New Orleans, where it arrived on the 11th, and encamped at Greenville, four miles from the city. At that place it was furnished with new camp-equipage and wagon-train, and placed under orders for Texas ; but on the 5th of August orders were received for its muster out, which was com- pleted on the 20th, and on the 30th it arrived at Jackson, Mich., and on the 5th of September was paid and disbanded. Its losses during the war were sixty-five men killed or died of wounds, and four hundred and fifty died of disease,-the heaviest loss by disease of any Michigan regiment during the war.

TWELFTH INFANTRY.
This regiment was recruited at Niles, Berrien Co., but had a large number of men in its ranks from Kalamazoo County, every company having representatives from the county. The command left Niles for the field on the 18th of March, 1862, its rolls showing one thousand names. It proceeded to St. Louis, and from there was immediately ordered to the Tennessee River, arriving at Pittsburg Landing in time to take part in the great battle fought there on the 6th and 7th of April following. It was en- gaged in the action at Metamora, on the Hatchie River, Oct. 5, 1862; and during the severe battle of Iuka it was engaged on picket duty near the field.
From Nov. 4, 1862, to May 31, 1863, the regiment was on duty guarding the Mississippi Central Railroad from Hickory Valley to near Bolivar, its headquarters being at Middleburg, Tenn. On the 24th of December, one hun- dred and fifteen of the regiment being in a block-house at Middleburg, under command of the colonel, a large body of Van Dorn's rebel cavalry, estimated at three thousand men, surrounded the block-house and demanded its surrender, which was refused, and a severe engagement ensued, ending in the complete repulse of the enemy, with a loss to him of nine killed and eleven wounded left on the field. Fifteen prisoners, including ten officers, were captured by the gar- rison, its own loss being six wounded and thirteen prisoners, the latter captured on the railroad while on picket. Gen. Grant, in subsequent orders, warmly congratulated the 12th, with other commands, for their heroic defense.
Early in June the command proceeded to Vicksburg, landing in the Chickasaw Bayou, north of the city, on the 3d. It was stationed at Hayne's and Snyder's Bluffs during the siege of Vicksburg. On the 28th of July it proceeded to Helena, Ark., where it remained until August 13th, when it marched with Gen. Steele's army to Little Rock, and remained encamped until the 27th of October, when it was moved to Benton, Ark.
On the 1st of November it marched to Little Rock, where it re-enlisted as a veteran regiment, and remained until Jan. 14, 1864, when it returned to Niles on furlough. On the 6th of March, having received a large number of recruits, it returned to Little Rock, arriving on the 1st of April. On the 28th, after a march of two days, it reached Pine Bluffs, a distance of forty eight miles. On the 29th it marched twelve miles through deep mud as escort for a wagon-train. On the 30th it returned to Pine Bluffs, and from thence proceeded to Little Rock by steamer.
Between the 17th and 25th of May it marched to Spring- field from Brownsville, a distance of seventy-seven miles. Returning to Little Rock on the 31st, it remained in camp until June 22d, when it moved to the north side of the
