HISTORY OF HILLSDALE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.

Post, and was present at the capture of that important
fort. Battery G was likewise a part of the force which
ran the rebel blockade at Vicksburg in April, was engaged in several of the succeeding conflicts, and was an
active participant in the siege and capture of that key of
the Mississippi. In August the battery went down to
Carrollton, La., and in November was ordered to Texas.
It served at Brazos, Santiago, Matagorda Island, Indianola,
and other points in that State until June, having several
not very serious conflicts with the enemy. In June the
'battery returned to Carrollton, La., remaining there until
October, and then proceeding to Mobile Bay. In April,
Battery G participated in the siege and capture of Mobile.
It remained on duty in the vicinity until July, when it was
ordered home, being mustered out at Jackson, Mich., on
the 6th day of August, 1865.
Battery I (originally the 9th) was organized in conjunction with the 5th Cavalry in the late summer and the autumn of 1862, and went to Washington with that regiment in November. It was not in any battle until that of
Gettysburg, on the 3d of July, 1863, where it had five
men killed and wounded. The battery remained with the
Army of the Potomac until November, when it was sent
to Nashville. It remained there till the 7th of March,
1864, and then moved southward, joining the 3d Division
of the 20th Army Corps the last of April. With that
division it went through the Georgia campaign, being
engaged with the enemy at Cassville, New Hope Church,
Lost Mountain, Kenesaw, Peach-Tree Creek, and the siege
of Atlanta. Fifteen men were killed and wounded during
the campaign, out of a little over a hundred. As usual
with artillery, only two or three fell in each engagement;
but it was in a good many engagements. In November
the battery returned to Chattanooga, where it remained
until July, 1865, when it was ordered home. It was mustered out at Jackson, Mich., on the 14th of that month.
