HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE SIXTEENTH
The Sixteenth Regiment of Infan
try was originally known as Stock
tons Independent Regiment and was
in the field some months before it had
in the reports of Michigan troops, any
numerical designation. When it lief
Detroit for the seat of war onthe 16tl
of September, 1861, Numbered upoI
its muster rolls 761 men. On the Is
Of July it had borne on its record thu
names of LOOP officers and enlisted
men. Their encamptment during tn,
winter of 1S61-'62 was at Hall
Hill, Virginia. In March it moved t
the Peninsula with Gen. Mcclellan
and participated in the stirring event
which characterized that campaign
At the seige Of Yorktown they bore {
conspicuous part, and, with Michigan
regiments, gathered renown to them
selves, and credit to their State, fol
their promptness andeificiency in this
their maiden attempt at war.
At Hanover Court House, drlring
that closely contested fight on the 27tl
of May, they achieved new laurels.-
One month later, they again were en-
gagged, and the official report Of thei
loss upon that occasion is sufficient ev
idence that they did good service. A
Malvern Hill, four days later, the.
were again called upon to do battle
In the month of August they wer
transferred to Pope's army, then i,
camp at fredericksburg, where the
remained but a short time, as, on tn
30th Of August, they were in the men
orable engagement Of Second Blu
Run, or Manassas. At tho battle o
Antietam this regiment was posted a
support for line Of artillery, although
not actually engaged. Its casualitie
at Gaines Mills reached the sum O
307, killed, wounded and missing
AT Malvern Hill they sustained los
of 40; at Bull Run 96. In Octobe
1862, its aggregate, present and ab
sent, was but T42. During the fall
was transferred to Griffin's divisio
in General Butterfeld's corps Of tn
Army of the Potomac, and with tina
corps participated in tho battles G
fredericksburg, Dec. 18th and 1itf
1862, losing forty-one killed, wounde
and missing. 1t was also holly on
gagged in the battle of Characteristic
and throughout the campaign wit
Hooker it bore itself with honor an
achieved new laurels. AT tho battl
of Gettysburg it bore conspicuou
part, and its decimated ranks tell wit
what valor it fought. Tho regimen
participated in the late movements o
tho Rappahannock, and showed il
courage in the midst of hardships a
we'll as on the battlefield.
