Civil War American
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The regiment was mustered into service on January 17th, with an aggregate of 925 strong, and it left its rendezvous on the 12th of February in command of Colonel M. Shoemaker, of Jackson, who had been commissioned Colonel in place of Colonel Stuart, resigned, and took its route through Kentucky and Tennessee, via Bowling Green, to Nashville.
The 13th formed part of General Wood's division of General Buell's army, and was on the forced march from Nashville to reinforce General Grant at Shiloh. It reached the battlefield at Pittsburg Landing near the close of the second day's fight, and until the evacuation of Corinth was engaged in picket and other duty with the forces that captured that post.
