Companies A, B and E were well represented from Washtenaw county. The regiment left its rendezvous at Detroit, Aug. 27, 1862. It was immediately sent into the Maryland campaign, under Gen. McClellan, and in about two weeks, engaged in a hotly contested action at South Mountain, losing 27 killed and 144 wounded. Three days after, it was again in battle, at Antietam. It then wound around through Maryland, Kentucky, and down into Mississippi. It erected fortifications at Milldale, and engaged in several skir- mishes near Jackson.
It came back to Kentucky, thence into East Tennessee, with the army of the Ohio, in September and October, 1863. It then passed from Knoxville, via London to Lenoir, and then joined the army opposing the advance of Longstreet on Knoxville. It had to re- treat, but suffered an attack of the enemy at Turkey Creek, where it lost about 36 men. During the retreat to Knoxville, and during the siege, the men suffered very much from want of proper and sufficient rations. It left Knoxville Dec. 7, in pursuit of the enemy. It arrived at Rutledge, but had to fall back to Blain's Cross Roads, where it wintered, suffering severely from want of supplies. In March the regiment again started, but receiving orders, came back to Knoxville, and from there marched over the Cumberland moun- tains to Nicholasville, Kentucky, a distance of 186 miles, which it accomplished in ten and one-half days. From there it went to Annapolis, thence, via Washington and Alexandria, Va., to War- renton Junction, Va., and started in on the campaign of 1864. It participated in the battles of the Wilderness, Chancellorsville and Spottsylvania Court-House. In an engagement on Ny river it suffered a great loss.
