Michigan Civil War
Eighth Regiment Infantry
The following extract is from the Annual Cyclopedia, 1864: Early on Friday morning, June 17th, the assault was renewed by an order of General Burnside to General Potter's division to take the works on their front. The brigade of General Griffin, supported by that of General Curtin, dashed forward, carrying the position, and capturing six guns, sixteen officers, and four hundred men, with a loss of about five hundred men. A pause now ensued, but skirmishing was kept up by the picket lines, and there was a moderate fire of artillery.
