James V. Henry was promoted from Sergeant to First Lieut.
The Ninth Infantry left Detroit for Kentucky Oct. 25, 1861, the first regiment from Michigan to enter upon active service in the Western Departments. Its muster-in-roll exhibited a force of 913, and 73 more were added before July 1, 1862. The regiment suf. fered largely from sickness almost immediately upon its going into service. It formed part of the force under Gen. Negley, which made a demonstration on Chattanooga, in June, 1862, and July 13 four companies, under command of its Major, being at Tullahoma, the remaining six companies, with other troops, were attacked by a large hostile force at Murfreesboro, Tenn., and after a sharp strug- gle, taken prisoners, with a loss of 13 killed and 78 wounded. The wounded officers and the enlisted men were at once paroled, and a few months afterward were exchanged. The remainder of the regiment with the officers and headquarters was established at Nashville, Tenn. It also participated in the battle of Murfreesboro Dec. 31, 1862, and collected several regiments which had broken during that struggle. At the battle of Chickamauga it performed a similar duty. In December, the regiment, to the number of 229, re-enlisted as a Veteran organization. The regiment was then or- dered to Coldwater, Mich., and upon arrival there Jan. 5, 1865, was furloughed for 30 days. It re-assembled at the same place, when it received recruits. Leaving Coldwater Feb. 20, with about 500 men, the regiment returned to Chattanooga, and was attached to the headquarters of the Department of the Cumberland. May 3 the Ninth marched from Chattanooga, with the headquarters of the Army of the Cumberland, and participated, with that army, in the campaign in Georgia, being present at the actions of Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, and the other en- gagements of the campaign preceding and including the siege of Atlanta. It also accompanied the army around Atlanta to Jones- boro, and aided in destroying the railroad to that place, and in the performance of other duties. It entered Atlanta on its evacua- tion by the rebel army, and was engaged in provost duty until that city was evacuated by our forces. The regiment then returned to Chattanooga. It remained at Chattanooga doing guard duty at the headquarters of the Army of the Cumberland, also picket duty for that post, until March 27, 1865; when Gen. Thomas re- moved his headquarters to Nashville, it was ordered to that point, and on the 24th arrived there by rail, and was assigned to duty guarding the military prison, and also at Gen. Thomas's headquar- ters. The regiment continued at Nashville, performing the same

general service until Sept. 15, when it was mustered out, and the day following left for Michigan, arriving at Jackson on the 19th, and on the 26th and 27th was paid off and disbanded.

It was stationed during the winter of 1861-'2 at Bardstown, Ky., where it suffered severely from sickness, and for the first year performed all its service in Kentucky and Tennessee. In August it aided in the repulse of Morgan's guerrillas at Gallatin, Tenn .; afterward it was stationed at Nashville, at or near which place it remained during November and December, until the army under Gen.

The regiment was in the fiercest of the fight at Chickamauga, and suffered a loss of seven killed, 76 wounded and 23 missing; total, 106. November 1, it was stationed at Chattanooga. At the battle of Mission Ridge, Nov. 25, 1863, the Eleventh participated in the decisive charge, and was one of the first to reach the enemy's works. Its loss in this action was six killed and 33 wounded. May 7, it entered upon the Georgia campaign under Gen. Sherman. It par- ticipated in the engagement with the enemy on the 14th, at Resaca. and on the 27th, at New Hope Church. It remained at the last named place eight days, holding an exposed position, and almost constantly under fire. During the month the loss of the regiment was four killed and eight wounded. The enemy having evacuated his works at New Hope Church, and retreated to Kenesaw Monn- tain, the regiment assisted in the pursuit to that point. It was here frequently engaged in skirmishing, and under a heavy artil- lery fire. The loss of the regiment in the month of June was two killed and 57 wounded. The enemy left their position at Kenesaw Mountain and the regiment moved in brisk pursuit, overtaking them at Rough's Station; participated in the successful charge on the first line of the enemy's works, losing three killed and 10 wounded; engaged in the battle of Peach Tree Creek, July 20, where it sus- tained a loss of two killed and nine wounded.
