This regiment left its rendezvous at Marshall Dec. 17, 1861, for Louisville, with an aggregate force of 1,032. The first service per- formed by the regiment was mostly done by detachments. One of these detachments, under Gen. O. M. Mitchell, comprised the first Union troops to enter Bowling Green, after its evacuation by the enemy. The regiment was mostly engaged in the repair or reopen- ing of railroads between some of the principal points in Kentucky and Tennessee. On Jan. 1, 1863, the regiment was attacked at Lavergne, by a large cavalry force of the enemy numbering about 3,500 men. The rebels were defeated with considerable loss, while the regiment lost only one killed and six wounded. During the greater part of this year, the regiment was engaged in building bridges on the railroads in the South. The regiment was stationed at Elk River bridge, Oct. 31. In March and April a portion of the regiment was engaged in running saw-mills, getting out rail- road ties and building hospital accommodations. In June, July, August and September the regiment, with the exception of two companies, were engaged on the line of the Atlanta & Western railroad, building, repairing, etc., with headquarters at Atlanta. Georgia. The regiment during this time did not perform much fighting, but did a great amount of work of much value to the armies with which it had been connected. It re-enlisted as a vet- eran regiment on Oct. 31, 1864, and on Nov. 16, it formed a part of the engineer force of the 20th and 17th Army Corps, when "Sherman marched down to the sea." In Savannah, the regiment constructed some fine lines of works. It then went to Goldboro, via Beaufort, thence to Raleigh, and from there pro- ceeded to Washington, via Petersburg, Richmond and Alexandria. It participated in the review at the city of Washington, and then encamped near Georgetown, D. C. In June it went to Louisville, and from there to Nashville, where it was mustered out of service Sept. 22d, arriving at Jackson Sept. 25, and Oct. 1 was paid off and discharged. The regiment saw but nine battles, not being connected with the fighting force of the armies. The total losses were: Died in action or of wounds received, eight; died of disease, 245; wounded in action, 17; taken prisoners, 15; total. 285.

This regiment was organized in the fall of 1862 and spring of 1863, and then rendezvoused at Dearborn. As Morgan with his raiders was then in Indiana and Ohio, the regiment was ordered to Indianapolis and then to Seymour, Ind. It followed Morgan, and attacking his rear guard, captured some prisoners. The regiment then came back to Dearborn, and from there moved to Chicago and guarded rebel prisoners. From Chicago it proceeded to Annapo- lis, and then to Warrenton Junction, via Alexandria, where it joined the army of the Potomac. Participating in the battles of that army, it arrived in front of Petersburg, where it remained until August, 1864. It engaged with the enemy at the Weldon and South Side railroads during September and October, also having a slight skirmish with the rebels at Peeble's Farm.

This regiment rendezvoused at Grand Rapids, and leaving that place on Nov. 28, 1871, started for St. Louis. It wintered at Benton Barracks in that city. During 1862 the regiment partici- pated in the battle of New Madrid, on March 13; Iuka, Sept. 21; Corinth, Oct. 3 and 4; Holly Springs, Nov. 7; Coffeeville, Dec. 5; and in the siege of Island No. 10 and Corinth. The regiment dur- ing the year 1863 moved through Tennessee and Kentucky, and entered Northern Georgia in September. It then participated in the chase after Gen. Wheeler over the Cumberland mountains, marching about 185 miles in six days over rough and mountainous roads.
After encamping at Winchester during the winter, the regiment moved over the mountains to Strawberry Plains. It participated in an engagement at Dandridge with but a small loss; also had a slight skirmish in December, 1863. On March 29, 1864, 300 of the regiment enlisted as Veteran Volunteers, and started for Jackson, Michigan, where they were furloughed for thirty days.

The regiment then moved by rail to Franklin, Tenn., and guarded the railroads in that vicinity. It participated in the pursuit after Gen. Forrest, and arrived at Florence, Alabama; thence it moved to Four-Mile Creek, in that State. During the spring of 1865, the Third made several raids as far south as the Arkansas Post, on the Arkansas river. At Brownsville the regiment erected a complete set of winter quarters, being quite neat and tasty, resulting in the place being called " Michigan City." It was then changed to the Department of Arkansas and proceeded to New Orleans, thence to Mobile, where it remained till the surrender of the rebel Gen. Taylor. The regiment then joined Sheridan, and in the Texas cam- paign, marching to San Antonio, and performed garrison duty till Feb. 15, 1866, where it was dismounted and mustered out of service, and proceeded via New Orleans and Cairo, to Jackson, Michigan, where it was paid off and discharged.
