Michigan Civil War
Eighth Regiment Infantry
Lossing says:
"Just before sunset Reno met Jackson's advance (Ewelland Hill) near Chantilly. A cold and drenching rain was falling, but it did not prevent an immediate engagement. Reno, with the remains of two divisions, was sharply attacked, when Hooker, McDowell, and Kearny came up to his assistance. The conflict was severe for a short time, when General Isaac I. Stevens, who was in command at the battle of Port Royal Ferry, now leading Reno's 2d divisionf ordered a charge, which he led in person, and was shot dead. "
