The 1st Michigan was organized at Detroit and mustered into the U.S. service Sept. 13, 1861, with an enrollment of
1,144 officers and men. It left the state Sept. 9 for Washington, D. C, and went into camp at Frederick, Md.,
where it remained several months.
It comprised a part of Gen. Banks' forces, which in Feb., 1862, moved to Harper's Ferry and later entered the
Shenandoah Valley, advancing as far as Winchester, pushing the Confederates before them. The regiment
distinguished itself in many skirmishes while advancing up the valley and companies and detachments made a number
of brilliant charges which attracted the attention of Gen. Banks and received from him complimentary mention in
orders.
The regiment remained at Williamsport until June 12, when it took part in Gen. Pope's Virginia campaign. It was in
Gen. Banks' command when he fought the battle of Cedar mountain, was engaged at Manassas, suffering severely in
that battle, and during the early months of 1863 it had several skirmishes with the enemy, losing a number in
killed and wounded.
It was then assigned to the famous Michigan cavalry brigade, consisting of the 1st, 5th, 6th and 7th regiments,
and served with the brigade until the close of the war. The Michigan Brigade fought in every major campaign of the
Army of the Potomac from the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 to the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court
House in April 1865.
