Michigan Civil War
Eighth Regiment Infantry
After one company of the five was landed Lieutenant Wilson proceeded in a boat to Turner's creek.
Owing to the small number of boats and the distance from the steamer, which was grounded, some delay occurred in the disembarkation. I directed Lieutenant Colonel Graves to follow with the second company and to skirt Turner's creek, but, being misdirected, he took the road to the right towards Carson's Bluff, and on landing with the remaining companies I received information that the enemy were in force at Fleetwood Plantation, and to the left of the road.
