Civil War Infantry
Twenty Second Regiment Infantry
" The morning of the battle call, to every soldier dear! Oh joy, the cry is forward! Oh joy, the foe is near! For all the crafty men of peace have failed to purge the land; Hurrah! the ranks of battle close! God takes his cause in hand.
The twenty-second regiment was raised in the counties of Oakland, Livingston, Macomb, St. Clair, Lapeer, and Sanilac, being what was then the fifth congressional district. Its rendezvous was at Pontiac, Hon. Moses Wisner, who had lately been governor of the State and who was afterwards commissioned colonel of the regiment, having charge of the camp.
The recruitment of the 22d commenced July 15, 1862, and was completed August 29th, following, when it was mustered into service.
