North Vs South
Twenty-eighth Regiment Infantry
Colonel Phillips having declined to muster, Major George T. Shafer assumed command.
In the meantime Hood had commenced his advance northward, bringing the 28th into more active service.
Colonel Wheeler, who had been commissioned from the 23d Infantry, assumed command on the 9th of December, and the regiment participated in the engagement at Nashville from the 12th to the 16th of that month, where it fully established a reputation as a gallant fighting regiment, and at once reached the uniform high standard of Michigan troops.
