Michigan Civil War
Eighth Regiment Infantry
The Federal loss was estimated between 3, 500 and 4, 000. The enemy claim to have captured 2, 700 prisoners. The Weldon railroad was thus recovered by the enemy as far as Yellow Tavern, but the position first taken by Warren was held.
On September 30th, 1864, the regiment, then in the 1st brigade, 1st division, 9th corps, crossed the Weldon road and participated in the engagement of that date near Poplar Grove Church, sustaining a loss of eight wounded.
