Michigan Civil War
Eighth Regiment Infantry
After the enemy retreated we were unmolested. It is due to the officers and men of the command to say that generally they behaved with cool and intrepid courage.
Adjutant Pratt fell dead near my side gallantly fighting, musket in hand, and cheering on the men. Our loss, I regret to say, was comparatively heavy, ten killed and thirty-five wounded out of a command of three hundred men. Among the wounded is acting Lieutenant Badger, of Company C, who was in charge of the advance picket and exhibited undaunted courage. He, with one of his men, was made prisoner both escaped and were brought in when the enemy retreated.
