forty-two, distributed as follows: First Michigan 39 Fifth Michigan 102 Sixth Michigan 58 Seventh Michigan 43 --- Total 242 Of those who were captured and held as prisoners of war, eighty-eight died in southern prisons--most of them in Andersonville--as follows:[29] First Michigan 12 Fifth Michigan 35 Sixth Michigan 26 Seventh Michigan 15 --- Total 88 The battle of Trevilian Station practically ended the fighting which was done by the Michigan brigade in the campaign from the Rapidan to the James. Sheridan's retreat was skilfully conducted but was not especially eventful. A tabulated statement of the losses in the command, beginning in the Wilderness, May 6, and ending at Trevilian Station June 12, is appended hereto. By losses I mean killed in action or died of wounds received in action. It is not possible to give a reliable statement of the wounded, reports of regimental commanders being very deficient in that particular. The table is compiled from the official records in the office of the adjutant general of Michigan and is believed to be approximately correct: First Fifth Sixth Seventh Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Total Wilderness 2 3 4 -- 9 Todd's Tavern 3 -- -- 1 4 Beaver Dam Station 1 -- -- -- 1 Yellow Tavern 14 7 3 9 33 Meadow Bridge -- -- 2 -- 2 Hanovertown -- -- 3 -- 3 Haw's Shop 5 13 18 6 42 Old Church 2 -- -- 1 3 Cold Harbor 5 1 1 3 10 Trevilian Station 13 8 17 3 41 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Total 45 32 48 23 148 Recapitulation--Killed and died of wounds, the Rapidan to the James: First Michigan
