HISTORY OF WASHTENAW COUNTY.
Tenn., in Dec. 1862. It had several sharp skirmishes during the winter with the enemy, while stationed in Tennessee. On May 22, 1863, the Fourth, with other Michigan troops, attacked and routed the enemy, taking 55 prisoners, and the colors of the 1st Alabama (rebel) regiment. During this year (1863) the regiment was engaged in skirmishing throughout the States of Tennessee and Alabama. The regiment then joined the army under Gen. Sherman, and moving with that force, did splendid service in de- stroying bridges, arms and ammunition belonging to the rebels. During 1864, the regiment was almost continually engaged with Wheelers' Cavalry, and on Sept. 17 a corporal and 17 ,men being in a block house, were attacked by Wheeler with 8,000 men, and artillery. Although the enemy shelled the block house for over five hours, they could not force a surrender, and finally retired with a loss of eight killed and 60 wounded. The Corporal was promoted, and the men honorably mentioned in general orders. This regi- ment will long be remembered by the loyal people of this country, as a detachment of the Fourth captured the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis. The following are some of the facts connected with the capture . On May 7. 1865, Lieut .- Colonel Pritchard was directed by Colonel Minty to proceed with the Fourth Regiment as rapidly as possible to Spaulding, Irwin county, North Carolina, and picket the Ocmulgee river from Hawkinsville to the mouth of the Oconee river, for preventing the escape of Jefferson Davis, who was then supposed to be making his way to the Atlantic coast, and if he got on his track to follow him wherever he went, and to capture or kill him without fail. At Abbeville, Pritchard became satisfied that Davis had already crossed the Ocmulgee, and ascer- tained that the 1st Wisconsin Cavalry was following him closely in the direction ot Irwinsville. With 153 of the best mounted men of the regiment he followed the line of the Ocmulgee for some miles, and then took a bridle path, or blind road, through the woods to- ward Irwinsville, and arrived at that place about 2 o'clock A. M., on the 10th, and found that Davis had not yet passed. Pretending to be a part of his escort, Colonel Pritchard gained information from a rebel citizen that Davis was encamped in the woods abont three- fourths of a mile north of town. The camp was at once surrounded, and at about 3 o'clock A. M. the force closed in and captured him and his party. Davis attempted to escape, disguised in his wife's traveling cloak, with a shawl thrown over his head, but private Adrian Bee, of Company " L," and Corporal Munger, of Company "C," espied his military boots beneath his feminine attire, and commanded him to halt. The following morning, while en route for Macon with the captives, information was received of the prof- fered reward of $100,000 for his capture. On arriving at Macon Colonel Pritchard, Captain Hudson, Lieutenants Stauber and Pur- inton, with 22 men, were detailed to escort Davis to Washington, D. C. The regiment remained at Macon until the 21st, when it started toward home, feeling that in the capture of Jefferson Davis

it had indeed finished its work. It was mustered out of service and paid off at Nashville, July 1st, and left for Michigan. The regiment contained nearly 90 men from Washtenaw county. The losses sus- tained were : Died in action, or wounds received, 37 ; died of disease, 227 ; wounded in action, 86 ; taken prisoners, 162 ; to- tal, 512. Skirmishes and battles, 94.

This regiment, furnished with about 150 men from Washtenaw county, left Detroit on Dec. 4, 1862, for Washington, D. C., and then joined the Army of the Potomac. It participated in the engagement at Fairfax Court-House, also in the one at Gainesville, Va. In the latter part of the year 1862 the regiment went into winter quarters at Stevensburg, Va. The regiment then served with General Kilpatrick, near Richmond, but afterward joined the forces under General Butler. It fought at Chancellorsville, at Malvern Hill, at Hawes' Shop and Coal Harbor. The regiment engaged in several brisk skirmishes during the latter part of the year, suffering severe losses. On Oct. 19, the regiment participated in the battle of Cedar Creek, charging the enemy's main line, driving them in great confusion and capturing a large number of prisoners. In November, 1864, the Fifth was attached to General Sheridan's army in the Shenandoah campaign, and at Newton was engaged in a sharp fight with a brigade of rebel cavalry, losing about 10 men. The Fifth moved, in February, 1865, with Sheri- dan on his celebrated raid to the James river, and at Louisa Court- House destroyed a large amount of property. The command, after tearing up track, rendering useless the locks, aqueducts and mills on the James River, destroying property, and damaging the enemy as much as possible, returned and joined the Army of the Potomac. It participated in the battles of Five Forks, Sailors' Creek and Appomattox Court-House. After Lee's surrender, the regiment proceeded to Washington, D. C., via Petersburg and North Carolina, and participated in the grand review. It was then ordered west to Leavenworth, Kansas, via St. Louis, and there mustered out of service. Arriving at Detroit July 1, it was paid off and disbanded. This regiment was almost continuously in active warfare, having engaged in 57 battles and skirmishes during its service in the field. The casualties sustained by the regiment were: Died in action or of wounds received, 99; died of disease, 73; wounded in action, 156, taken prisoners, 194; total, 522.
