Civil War Infantry

It left Saginaw on the 18th of September following, in command of Colonel M. W. Chapin, and proceeded at once to Kentucky, its muster roll showing a

While stationed at that point, a detachment of the regiment, in command of Lieutenant E. G. Wellington in charge of a train for Nashville, was attacked by a very superior force of guerrillas, who were repulsed in so gallant a manner as to receive the commendation of the commanding general in orders.
