Twenty-eighth Regiment Infantry
" Ho! comrades! see the starry flag, broad waving at our head;
Ho! comrades! mark the tender light on the dear emblems spread!
Our fathers' blood has hallowed it; 'tis part of their renown;
And palsied be the catiff hand would pluck its glories down!"
The 28th was formed by the consolidation of what had been originally intended for the 28th, rendezvoused at Marshall under the superintendence of the Hon. S. S. Lacey, of that place, as commandant of camp, and the 29th, rendezvoused at Kalamazoo, with the Hon. W. B. Williams, of Allegan, as commandant of camp, who completed the organization of the regiment.
The companies were mustered into the U. S. Service at various dates during the months of September and October, 1864, its organization being completed by the muster on the 26th of October.
