Called upon to take a hill at the 1863 Battle of Chickamauga, the 22nd Michigan Infantry - untested in combat - fought valiantly, helping to save the Union right commanded by General George H. Thomas. This narrative traces the 22nd's day-to-day experiences in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia, including many unique towns and cities.
Called upon to take a hill at the 1863 Battle of Chickamauga, the untested 22nd Michigan Infantry helped to save General George H. Thomas' right flank. Formed in 1862, the regiment witnessed slavery and encountered runaways in the border state of Kentucky, faced near starvation during the siege of Chattanooga and marched to Atlanta as General Thomas' provost guard.
This history explores the 22nd's day-to-day experiences in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia. The author describes the challenges faced by volunteer farm boys, shopkeepers, school teachers and lawyers as they faced death, disease and starvation on battlefields and in Confederate prisons.
