CHAPTER XVII.
RECRUITS OF
THE TWENTY-FOURTH MICHIGAN.
I .- THOSE WHO SAW SERVICE AT THE FRONT.
UITE a number of recruits came to the Twenty-fourth Michigan but only a small part of them saw service at the front. The war history of the regiment was made by the 1026 original members and 216 recruits who joined it at the front. They began to come in during the spring of 1864, while the regiment was wintering near Culpepper Court House, and are known as "Culpepper Recruits," to distinguish them from those who joined the regiment at Camp Butler, near Springfield, Illinois. These earlier recruits joined at a critical period of the war and are entitled to share in full the honors of the regiment, as they helped fight some of the severest battles in which it was engaged. Some of them were placed in the ranks even during an engagement, and were killed or wounded in that day's battle. These recruits served well and shared all the later dangers which confronted the original members. Some had brothers and relatives killed already in this regiment and had patriotically gone down to take their places. Some were captured and died in Confederate prisons; others came home maimed for life. Below is a list of such recruits who are entitled to share the full honors of the regiment and Iron Brigade :

Total 216, including 4 re-enlistments who were original members of the Regiment.
2-SPRINGFIELD RECRUITS.
By such are meant those who joined the regiment at Camp Butler, near Springfield, Illinois, while it was on guard duty at the Draft Rendezvous there, and undergoing re-recruitment, for this was the second recruitment aside from its original formation. These men all enlisted during the months of January, February and March in 1865, and joined the regiment prior to March 29, 1865. One squad of them had even reached City Point, Va., to join it, after it had started for Springfield, and followed it to the latter place. A few of these recruits had seen service in other regiments and were attracted to the service again. Many had relatives and friends in the Twenty-fourth and were thus attached to it, as well as by the good name which it had acquired. Some probably read the signs of the times and believing the war to be near its close, hoped to escape field duty by joining this regiment where it then was. The war had closed by the surrender of Lee, just ten days after the regiment was recruited to its maximum. Had the war continued, the regiment would undoubtedly have returned to the field of operations with full ranks, and these recruits would doubtless have sustained its reputation had opportunity been presented. The history of the Twenty-fourth would be incomplete without their names. They were welcomed to its ranks at the time, and were sought for by our recruiting officers. They were all mustered out with the regiment except twenty-six who died of disease at Camp Butler and twenty who deserted, the latter being marked with a star (*).
