When Captain Gibbon was promoted to the command of what afterwards was known as the Iron Brigade, Lieutenant Joseph B. Campbell took command of the Battery which was recruited to its full complement by men from the regiments in that Brigade and thus this Brigade and Battery became closely allied to each other, it being virtually a part of the Iron Brigade. In 1851, Sergeant James Stewart, left New York City for duty with this Battery in Texas. In 1861, he was promoted to a Second-Lieutenant in the Battery. On August 28, 1862, it did good service at the battle of Gainesville and again at Groveton, August 30. It was heavily engaged at the South Mountain Pass, September 14; and was also severely engaged at Antietam. Here, after its commander and men had rapidly fallen, within thirty paces of the enemy, and the working of the guns thus became impeded, General John Gibbon, in full uniform, acted as gunner himself and drove the enemy under cover. The Battery lost forty out of 100 men in this action. Lieutenant James Stewart now became its commander and it was henceforth known as Stewart's Battery and ranked among the very highest in that branch of the service until the close of the war. It proved worthy of association with the Iron Brigade. And why not? Were not its men detailed from the ranks of the several regiments of that Brigade and made up of the same western pluck? The enemy learned early to respect and fear it, for its work was unerring and deadly. Its deep mouthed belchings gave tone and confidence to the Brigade on many a field. Its music cheered the men on to the combat in many a bloody , struggle, and when the records of the war were sifted and sorted, like the Brigade with which it was associated it stood first. Colonel William F. Fox, has thus written of this Battery :
The "Cannoneer" is correct in claiming for his Battery the greatest aggregate losses of any light Battery in the service. There is no doubt but that more men fell at Stewart's guns than in any other Battery in the Union Armies.

HISTORY OF THE TWENTY-FOURTH MICHIGAN.
We shall attempt no extended allusions to the records of this celebrated Battery. The above brief testimony from the accepted Statistician of the Civil War is evidence that a history of said Battery must prove interesting and we are pleased to say to all who would like, in imagination, to ride down through the awful battles of the Army of the Potomac on a cannon without getting injured, send one dollar and a half to the National Tribune at Washington, D. C., for a copy of the "CANNONEER" which is a full and complete history of

this celebrated Battery and contains also a vast amount of invaluable war reading, written by Augustus Buell of Washington, D. C.
There was one "comrade" in this Battery to which we have promised our readers to make reference here-Old Tartar, Lieutenant Stewart's horse, or "Old Bobtail" as he was called after his caudal annex had been shot off in battle. We give below "Old Bob's" biography from the pen of Captain Stewart of Carthage, Ohio, to the author of the "Cannoneer":
DEAR COMRADE :- You ask for Tartar's "biography." His military record is as follows : He entered the service at Fort Leavenworth in July, 1857, just before Battery B started on the Utah expedition, and was then four years of age. Before reaching Utah, he was taken sick with distemper of a malignant type, so we had to

abandon him when we left Green River Camp, Salt Lake. The following spring, General Albert Sidney Johnston offered $30 apiece for abandoned horses branded "U. S." I was at the tent of Major Fitz John Porter one morning when two Indians came in with a couple of horses, one of which was Tartar. I had him taken over to the Battery. In the summer of 1860 the personnel of the Battery was formed into Cavalry to keep open the mail and pony express between Salt Lake and Carson City, during which Tartar's average work was from forty to fifty miles a day. Early in 1861 the Battery marched from Utah to Fort Leavenworth, whence by rail to Washington. At the Second Bull Run Tartar was struck by a shell, carrying away his tail, and wounding both hips, or hams. At first I thought I could not use him any more and turned him into a small field. The next morning he jumped the fence and followed the Battery.
Sometime after this President Lincoln reviewed the army in front of Fredericks- burg. After I had passed in review riding Tartar, I was sent for, to allow the President to look at the horse's wound. As soon as Mr. Lincoln saw it he said: "This reminds me of a tale !" which he proceeded to relate with great amusement. His little son "Tad," mounted on a pony insisted on trading horses. He persisted in telling me that his papa was the President and would give any horse I wanted in trade for Tartar. I had a hard time to get away from the little fellow.
Tartar was again wounded at Fredericksbug and after that it was difficult to get him to stand under musketry fire. The day before we reached Gettysburg he was lamed by running a nail into one of his fore feet, and did not go into the battle. In pursuit of Lee he could not keep up and I left him with a farmer on the road. About a month afterward a friend informed me that he had seen him over in Kilpatrick's Cavalry tied up. I went over and got him. This was in August, 1863. He served through the war and was at Appomattox. In 1866 I left Tartar with the Battery, in the tenth year of his service.

CHAPTER XXIV.
OUR LAST MARCH.
K NAPSACK we shoulder now for a tramp to our last camp- ground. Many months the author has devoted to this compilation. The time has arrived when the result of all this labor must go to the type-room. From the first axe- stroke against the mighty forest oak to the launch of the ship, much good material accumulates which must be left behind. And so with this work. Narratives of each member of the regiment would be interesting, but they would require many volumes. And a full history of all the regiments of the Iron Brigade would also require a volume for each. Such task must be deferred to others. There has been a determination to exclude, as far as the truth of history would allow, all reflexive matter, as well as everything that could not strictly stand the test of good authority and sincere account.
The foregoing recital should accord to every regiment of the Iron Brigade that full measure of praise which each has won for itself. While members of the Twenty-fourth Michigan pride themselves upon its glorious record, written in blood-its wealth of sacrifice which has contributed to the enrichment of Michigan history, they ever accord a full meed of praise to all other Michigan troops, mindful that every soldier, with pardonable pride, loves his own regiment the best. And so, while it is our special delight that we belonged to the " Twenty-fourth " and to the IRON BRIGADE, we are also proud that we belonged to a Michigan regiment. For, were not Michigan's troops the honor of every branch of the service where they served ? Did not their blood moisten over 800 battle-fields of the war? Did not their praises fall from the lips of generals? Did not the command of General Phil Kearney-" Put a Michigan Regiment on guard
(474)

to-night and then I can sleep," express the confidence of commanders in Michigan's soldiery? Were they not selected to lead " forlorn hopes " and perform most dangerous and difficult tasks ?
Thirty years have intervened since began the great struggle for national life. Since then a new generation has been born-a generation has passed away, while the magnitude of the struggle and the momentous questions at issue-those lost and those preserved- are fast passing beyond comprehension. The war cost the North alone 360,000 lives, 300,000 wounded, and over one million widows and orphans. No less could have been the casualties of the south. The North alone, and the South alone, lost each, more men in four years, than England lost in all her wars from its Invasion by William the Conqueror to Queen Victoria, a period of 800 years !
The sword settled that the United States are indivisible. State rights remain, but not State sovereignty. Sovereignty belongs exclusively to the Nation. The war taught the nations of earth and traitors at home that this nation cannot be destroyed without costly and bloody protest. It taught that majorities must govern, and so govern as to preserve inviolate the equal rights of all ; that a lawfully elected President shall serve his constitutional term ; that a minority oligarchy cannot permanently control this Republic. May the sacrifices of this war never be forgotten. May future generations note its awful scope and keep clear of the rocks on which it so nearly stranded. May the treasonable sophistries of Calhounism be extirpated from the text books and literature of the South, whose rising generation is being taught its deadly heresy, else other occasions may be sought to revive the "Lost Cause." Let a caution prevail in the discussion of internal questions of polity, nor admit too freely within our gates the objectionable and ignorant stranger; and when enlarging our domain, that we annex not enemies of our institutions, customs and form of government. May the blood- bought experience of this generation preserve for all time this noblest of human organizations, "of the people, by the people and for the people."

DEATH OF GENERAL HENRY A. MORROW.
It is with deep sorrow that we must record the death of our beloved Colonel which occured at Hot Springs, Arkansas, January 31, 1891. We had hoped he would survive to read this volume in which he had a great interest. Upon learning of his death the Survivors of the Twenty-fourth Michigan in Detroit, the Bar Association of this City and his regiment, the Twenty-first U. S. Infantry, passed suitable resolutions of respect. Of his war services this volume makes record, and it is one of the most brilliant.
After the war, he was appointed Collector for the Port of Detroit, which he resigned to become Lieutenant-Colonel of the Thirty-sixth Regiment, U. S. Infantry, February, 1867. After entering the Regular Army he was assigned to important positions which he filled most satisfactorily. President Grant ordered him to Louisana where he assisted in the process of re-construction acceptably to the people. Later, he was sent to Utah to quell the Mormon disturbances in 1872-3, where his conciliatory methods were successful. In 1877, during the railroad riots at Scranton, Pennsylvania, his discreet conduct
478

won the special commendation of General Hancock. He subsequently became Colonel of the Twenty-first U. S. Infantry.
He was a soldier, orator and jurist of the highest excellence in each. His address was affable and courteous. Meanness and injustice he despised. His own Twenty-fourth loved him, believed in him and would always follow where he led. No braver man ever drew a sword and he was ever regardful of the welfare of his command, every soldier in which could lay before him any grievance. His name in history is secure and deserves to be preserved in the choicest amber. He ever had a warm remembrance for the old Twenty-fourth and among his last letters was the following to Captain Geo. W. Burchell written at Fort Sidney, Nebraska, July 30, 1890 :
"What I desire above all things in this world is to hear of the health and prosperity of the remnant of the dear old comrades who stood with me, elbow to elbow, in the battle's storm of those horrible but splendid years when the Nation's life was saved by the Nation's valor. Your letter recalls many a scene. How quick come back the camp-fires, the weary marches, the dreadful preparation for battle, the long lines, the glittering bayonets, the inspiring cheers, the awful roar of musketry, the deep thunder of the cannon, the sickening carnage, the cries of the wounded, the ambulances, the mounds of fresh earth ! Alas ! Alas! God has been good to spare us so long to witness the glorious fruits of the sacrifices of the patriots of 1861-5. Perhaps we are not happier in our lots than the gallant men who fell fighting in the cause of freedom and humanity. May God be kind to those who are still spared, strengthen their failing limbs, and temper the winds to their declining vigor."
On September 8, 1890, Colonel Morrow wrote as follows to Colonel A. M. Edwards :
"I have just returned from the G. A. R. encampment, where I had a pleasant time, but you know I am all shattered in health. At present I cannot speak above a whisper. I do not pretend to give commands on the field. But I did not intend to tell you that your Colonel has been for a year and more, stricken by a fatal disease and will, in all human probability, be on the side of the majority to welcome you when your form shall appear on the opposite shore."
His remains were conveyed to Niles, Michigan, the girlhood. home of Mrs. Morrow, where they laid in state in charge of "Frank Graves Post," G. A. R. until the funeral. The services were held in the Episcopal Church and the burial was under the auspices of said Post. As soon as the time of the funeral was learned in Detroit, several members of the old Twenty-fourth hurriedly arranged to attend and were present as mourners. The remains of our dear Colonel were laid away beneath the oaks of Silver Brook Cemetery with the honors of war. He has reached his last camp ground.
