Michigan Regiments
Twenty-Sixth Regiment Infantry
June 20th, the regiment moved to Yorktown, and formed part of the command of General Keyes, which marched to Bottom's Bridge, on the Chicka-hominy, and returned to Yorktown July 11th. The day following the return of the expedition from that point, the regiment was ordered to Washington, and thence to the city of New York, to assist in sustaining the laws during the draft in that city.
The New York Times said:
"The 2Gth Michigan arrived here last night from the Potomac, and will be assigned to duty in this city until the great riot is quelled.
