Wheeler. " My poor fellow, don't you know you are badly wounded ? You might as well tell me the truth ; you may not live long."
Griggs (indignantly). " I am telling the truth, sir. We had only seven men." Wheeler (laughing). " Well, what did you expect to do ?"
Griggs. " To keep you from crossing, sır."
Wheeler (amused greatly and laughing). " Well, why didn't you do it ?"
Griggs. " Well, you see, we did until you hit me, and that weakened our forces 80 much that you were too much for us."
Wheeler was greatly amused, and inquired of another prisoner (who happened to be a horse-farrier too), " Are all the Tenth Michigan like you fellows ?" "Oh, no," said the man, " we are the poorest of the lot ; we are mostly horse-farriers and black- smiths, and not much accustomed to fighting." " Well," said Wheeler, " if I had three hundred such men as you I could march straight through h-1!"
At the same place, Strawberry Plains, November 16 following, the Tenth made a shining record. Colonel Trowbridge, with seven hundred men, mostly stragglers from different commands, and indifferently armed, by good fighting and a show of boldness, repulsed an attack by Breckenridge with five thousand men and nine or ten pieces of artillery. At Salisbury, North Carolina, in 1865, Major Smith of the
Tenth took twenty men, and approaching unobserved a heavy force of the rebels, fired a volley into their flank, when the whole force broke into the greatest confusion. "Stacy, with his Tennessee cavalry, was on them (the rebels) in an instant, and the fight was over. Results, nineteen pieces of artillery, eleven hundred prisoners, and supplies enough for an army of one hundred thousand men were captured. This exploit of Major Smith and his gallant little band was as daring as it proved successful." One of the most gallant actions of the war was the charge of the same Major Smith on a portion of Wheeler's command during his raid through East Tennessee, in August, 1864. The major was sent out from Knoxville with seventy_ two men, all the mounted force that could be mustered, to scout in the direction of Strawberry Plains, and ascertain the position of the enemy. They discovered the enemy two and a half miles from Flat Creek Bridge, and, according to orders, the advance charged them in gallant style. "Smith followed up with his command. The enemy proved to be the Eighth Texas Cavalry, four hundred strong. Smith routed them completely, captured their commanding officer, a lieutenant-colonel, and thirty or forty prisoners, and was hotly pursuing them at a full gallop when he came to Flat Creek Bridge, a long narrow affair; over this the impetuous major charged, to find himself confronted by Hume's division of rebel cavalry, two thousand strong, drawn up in line of battle scarcely three hundred yards from the bridge; of course he had to get away, which he did successfully without any very great loss, though the enemy charged him for seven miles. The boldness of the thing annoyed the rebels not a little." Lieutenant Brooks (afterwards captain) of the Tenth charged with his company a force of rebels, and routing them handsomely drove them a couple of miles, when Captain Roberts wisely ordered a halt; but the lieutenant, who was smarting under some ill-treatment from a superior officer, having gone ahead of the main company did not hear the order, or if he did, cared not to heed it, and actually kept up that charge with three men with him for ten miles and a half. He was afterwards rewarded for his gallantry by the brevets of major and lieutenant-colonel.

THE MICHIGAN LIGHT ARTILLERY.
The regiment of Michigan Light Artillery was composed of twelve six-gun bat- teries. It was commanded by Colonel O. C. Loomis, but from the character of that arm of the service, the batteries were never brought together as a regiment.
BATTERY A,
originally designated Loomis', left the State under command of Colonel Loomis, on July 1, 1861, for the field in Western Virginia, and at Rich Mountain, July 11, while serving with General Mcclellan, first engaged the enemy, and thus early in the war gave evidence of its efficiency manifested afterwards on numerous battle- fields. From the West Virginia campaign it was transferred to Kentucky, and played an important part at Perryville, saving by its gallant and effective service the right wing of the Union army from being flanked. It was hotly engaged during the memorable days and nights of hard and desperate fighting in the battle of Stone River, losing heavily, but achieving a most noted distinction, second to no battery in the service. At Chickamauga, September 19 and 20, the brilliant record was maintained, and gloriously almost ended. "There, sooner than abandon its position, it suffered annihilation nearly, making one of the most determined defenses on record, dealing to the rebel hosts, pressing up in masses to the muzzle of the guns, utter destruction within its entire range, but finally had to surrender the guns so dearly prized."
Mr. Greeley, in his " American Conflict," in noticing this great battle, says, " One of the batteries here lost was the First Michigan, formerly Loomis', regarded by the whole army with pride, and by those who served in it with an affection little short of idolatry. It had done yeoman service on many a hard-fought field, and was

fondly regarded as well-nigh invincible. But now abandoned by its supports, who recoiled before a rebel charge in overwhelming numbers, with all its horses shot and most of its men killed and wounded, it could not be drawn off, and was doomed to be lost. Its commander, Lieutenant Van Pelt, refused to leave it, and died, sword in hand, fighting-one against a thousand-by the side of his guns."
The list of the engagements of Battery A is as follows : Rich Mountain, West Virginia, July 11, 1861; Elkwater, West Virginia, September 11, 12, 1861; Green Brier, West Virginia, October 3, 1861 ; Bowling Green, Kentucky, February 14, 1862; Perryville, Kentucky, October 8, 1861 ; Bridgeport, Alabama, April 29, 1862; Gun- ter's Landing, Alabama, May 15, 1862; Athens, Alabama, May 29, 1862; Whites- boro', Alabama, June, 1862; Stone River, Tennessee, December 31 and January 1, 2, 3, 1863; Hoover's Gap, Tennessee, June 25, 1863; Chickamauga, Tennessee, September 19, 20, 1863; Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, November, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tennessee, November 25, 1863.
BATTERY H
rendezvoused in Monroe in connection with the Fifteenth Infantry, and left that place under command of Captain Samuel De Gobyer on the 13th of March, 1862, to report to General Halleck at St. Louis; thence it was ordered to New Madrid, Mo. It served afterwards in Kentucky, West Tennessee, and Northern Mississippi, and took an active part in the Mississippi campaign preceding the siege of Vicksburg. At Thompson's Hills, Mississippi, May 1, 1863, it first encountered the rebels, and then at Raymond, May 12 following, where it received much favorable comment on its rapid and effective firing. At Champion Hills the battery was hotly engaged and suffered heavy loss, and was actively engaged in the siege of Vicksburg, during which Captain De Gobyer received a wound from which he died August 8 following.
The engagements of the battery during the service which lasted till July 22, 1865, when it was mustered out, were as follows : Thompson's Hills, Mississippi, May 1, 1863; Raymond, Mississippi, May 12, 1863 ; Jackson, Mississippi, May 14, 1863; Champion Hills, Mississippi, May 16, 1863; Vicksburg, Mississippi, May 18,
1863; Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi, May 19 to July 4, 1863; Brownsville, Mis- sissippi, October, 1863; Clinton, Mississippi, February, 1864; Big Shanty, Georgia, June 14, 1864; Kenesaw, Georgia, June 27, 1864; Nickajack Creek, Georgia, July 5, 1864; Peach Tree Creek, Georgia, July 22, 1864; Siege of Atlanta, Georgia, July 22 to August 25, 1864 ; Jonesboro, Georgia, August 31, 1864; Lovejoy's Sta- tion, Georgia, September 1, 1864.
There were a few recruits from Oakland County in Batteries C, D, G, I, K, L, and M, and also in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Batteries, less than fifty altogether.
THE ONE HUNDRED AND SECOND COLORED TROOPS.
The only Michigan colored regiment in the war was the One Hundred and Second U. S., raised by Colonel Henry Barus, of Detroit, organized by Lieutenant-Colonel W. T. Bennett, and in March, 1864, taken to the field in command of Colonel H. L. Chipman, then a captain in the regular army, who had procured a leave of absence for that purpose. The regiment, in whose ranks Oakland County had a number of representatives, first faced the enemy at Baldwin, Florida, in August, 1864, where it was suddenly attacked by a force of rebel cavalry, which it easily repulsed and scattered, and by its splendid conduct on that occasion fully convinced its officers of the reliable and gallant fighting qualities of their men. At Honey Hill, South Carolina, on November 30, at Tullifinny, December 7, and at Devereaux Neck, December 9, the quality of the regiment was more fully tested and demonstrated. On the march northward until the war was ended the regiment fully maintained its reputation. It was mustered out September 30, 1865.
Its battles and skirmishes were as follows: Baldwin, Florida, August 8, 1864; Honey Hill, South Carolina, November 30, 1864; Tullifinny, South Carolina, Decem- ber 7, 1864; Devereaux Neck, South Carolina, December 9, 1864 ; Cuckwold's Creek Bridge, February 8, 1865; Sumpterville, South Carolina, April 8, 1865; Spring Hill, South Carolina, April 15, 1865; Swift Creek, South Carolina, April 17, 1865; Boykins, South Carolina, April 18, 1865 ; Singleton's Plantation, South Carolina, April 19, 1865.
