Raising the Troops
The 4th, also, was by the same means enabled to take the field (where a number of men belonging to the old organization, whose terms were unex-pired, yet remained), and left the State, with 726 officers and men, on the 22d of the same month, also for Nashville.
The 28th and 29th were consolidated into one regiment, designated as the
28th, which, after completing its organization at Kalamazoo, took its route thence for Nashville, October 26th, with 886 officers and men.
The Sixth District regiment completed its organization from its own territory, and was the first of the new regiments to leave the State, having broken camp at Saginaw and taken its departure for Nashville on the 6th of October, with 856 officers and men. The regiments originally known as the 30th and 29th having been consolidated with others, as mentioned above, this regiment was numbered the 29th.
