Michigan Civil War
Eighth Regiment Infantry
Being in the direct advance, the 8th, immediately supported by the Highlanders, was completely swept by grape and canister at close range, from six guns on the works as well as by their musketry. Parties composed of officers and men from the 8th Michigan and 79th New York succeeded in gaining the parapet in face of this dreadful and destructive fire, but were shot down in the act. The assaulting force finding it impossible to carry the works, finally had to withdraw.
