The Twenty-eighth left Kalamazoo Oct. 26, for Louisville,

took charge of a wagon train en route for Nashville, Tenn.,
where it arrived Dec. 5, and reported for duty to General
Thomas.

The regiment, under command of Colonel Wheeler, who had
formerly served in the Twenty-third Infantry, took a gallant
part in the battle of Nashville, Dec. 12 to the 16th, in
repelling the confederates under General Hood, who was defeated
with great loss, and driven in confusion out of the state.

After the battle of Nashville, the Twenty-eighth was
assigned to the Twenty-third corps, and when at Louisville,
Ky., was ordered early in January, 1865, to proceed with its
corps to Alexandria, Va., where it embarked upon transports for
Morehead City, N. C. It then moved to Newbern and then to
Wilmington, to co-operate with General Sherman's army, then
marching north through the Carolinas.

At Wise Forks, the Twenty-eighth was engaged for three
days, the enemy making determined assaults on the Union lines,
but were repulsed in every instance. The Twenty-eighth was in
the thickest of the fighting, and lost during the engagements
seven killed and thirteen wounded. The regiment then marched
inland to Kingston, and reached Goldsboro, N. C., on the 21st,
where it was assigned to duty in guarding the Atlanta and North
Carolina railroad.

After General Lee and General Johnson surrendered, the
Twenty-eighth was on duty at Raleigh, Charlotte, Wilmington and
Newberg, until it was mustered out of service, June 5, 1866, at
Raleigh, N. C. The regiment at once returned to Detroit,
Mich., where it was paid and disbanded, June 8, 1866.

While in service it had met the enemy at Nashville, Tenn.,
