Michigan Regiments
Twenty-Sixth Regiment Infantry
Fully cognizant of the services of the 26th, especially during Grant's campaign of 1864-5, General Barlow, in whose division it served, as well as General Hancock, commanding the corps, in letters to Colonel Church, written a few years subsequent to the war, regretting their inability to be present at a reunion of the regiment refer to it in the highest commendation.
Barlow says:
"I have the strongest regard and admiration for the 26th Michigan. It is a difficult thing to pick out one regiment from all those I served with as the very best, but I can say this, that I never saw one superior in the whole army.
