The Michigan 8th Cavalry Regiment was organized at Mt. Clemens, Michigan, December 30, 1862 to May 2, 1863. Early in the war they had the distinction of being the unit who captured Confederate General John Hunt Morgan and his men. They later participated in the Atlanta Campaign and were a part of the ill-fated Stoneman's Raid to Macon, Ga. Though most of the men escaped when Stoneman was captured, they were surprised and severely beaten at Eatonton, GA. More than 50 of the men who were captured later died in Andersonville Prison. Those who survived continued in the Nashville Campaign and ended the war there doing scouting duty until September, 1865.
