From there he went to Florence, Alabama, whither he was or- dered by General Sherman, and he later went into winter quarters at Pulaski, Ten- nessee. From March 16, 1864, he served with the Sixteenth Army Corps, until the close of the struggle, having seen much hard service during that time, being with Sherman on his march to the sea and having led his regiment at the great battles of Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Atlanta, Jonesboro, Fort McAllister and received the surrender of the command...er of this fort. He was brevetted brigadier general in July, 1864, and participated in the grand review in Washington City, and was mustered out in Springfield, Illinois, in June, 1865. After the war General Martin plunged into the active affairs of civil life and won signal distinction in the field of politics and business. He launched into banking in Sa- lem, building up the nucleus of a large for- tune through his wonderful executive abil- ity. Taking an interest in Republican poli- tics after the war he was elected County Judge in 1866, overwhelming a Democratic majority of six hundred.
