Michigan Regiments
Twenty-Sixth Regiment Infantry
If our friends were to call at the headquarters of Generals Hancock and Miles, or visit any of the regiments of the 2d corps, they would not be wanting in all the data requisite to establish for the 26th a fame second to none in the army of the Potomac. An officer of high rank recently said in our hearing: The 26th Michigan is the finest skirmish regiment in Meade's army. Such testimonials are frequently awarded us, and though we are wanting in all that concentration of local pride and influence at home which has given so much celebrity to the 24th and other regiments, we are content to leave the keeping of our fame to those who shall give to the world the impartial history of the war.
