The regiment left the state April 22, 1862, under command of Colonel Charles M. Lam, and joined the army under General Hallock, at Pittsburg Landing, Tenn., and was assigned to the Second Brigade, General Pope's Division. The Tenth was in the presence of the enemy the moment it reached its destination and at once commenced a series of marches and skirmishes that occupied every day together with the hard work of building trenches and fortifications. When the confederates retreated from Corinth the Tenth went into camp at that place, where it remained until June 20, enjoying a much needed rest, when it was ordered to Tuscumbia, Ala.
Detachments of the regiment were sent out from this place to occupy certain positions and act as provost guard.
In September the Tenth marched to Nashville, where it was engaged in building fortifications, taking part in reconnaissances, guarding trains, suffering severely on account of short rations. The regiment was then assigned to the First Brigade, Second Division, Fourteenth Army Corps, Army of the Cumberland.
During the winter the regiment was constantly on duty and made many and long marches, but met with no serious losses in battle. It had frequent contacts with the enemy while guarding trains and lost a number of men in these engagements. In September, 1863, the regiment was at Bridgeport, Ala., and crossed the Tennessee river near Chattanooga, and was at Chickamauga Station the 26th. It was constantly in motion, occupying a number of towns during the summer and fall.
The regiment veteranized at Rossville, 335 men re-enlisting the 6th of February, 1864, with the expectation of going home for a 30 days' furlough. While anticipating such a pleasant event orders were received for the regiment to move with the army in a general advance toward Dalton, Ga.
At Buzzard's Roost, February 25, the enemy was found strongly fortified, and the Tenth was pushed forward upon the confederate works and met a storm of grape and cannister, causing a loss of 13 killed, 35 wounded and 17 missing, a total loss of 65.
The following month the regiment returned to Michigan, arriving at Detroit March 11, and was furloughed for 30 days. May 11 the Tenth was back in Chattanooga, and commenced the Georgia Campaign, marching by way of Dalton and Kenesaw Mountain, crossing the Chattahoochie river the 17th, and taking part in the siege of Atlanta.
The Tenth was a part of General Sherman's army and participated in the march from "Atlanta to the Sea," and after a number of skirmishes with the enemy, arrived before Savannah December 11, and when that city fell the Tenth encamped there until January 20, 1865, when it started with the balance of the army on the Campaign of the Carolinas.
The Tenth crossed the Savannah river at Sister's Ferry, Feb. 6, and was engaged with the enemy at Fayetteville, N. C., March 11, and crossed the Cape Fear river on the 12th.
The regiment skirmished heavily with the enemy at Averysboro, N. C., the 16th, and fought a battle at Bentonville, the 19th. The Tenth then marched on Raleigh, and reached Goldsboro on the 23rd. The line of march was then continued to Richmond, Va., as that city had fallen into the hands of the Union troops at the surrender of General Lee. On the 10th of May, 1865, the regiment marched to Washington, D. C., where it took part in the grand review with General Sherman's army on the 24th.
The regiment, then in command of Colonel Dunphy, started for Louisville, Ky., where it was mustered out of service July 19, 1865 and returned to Jackson, Mich., the 22d, and on the 1st of August was paid off and disbanded.
