Michigan Civil War
Eleventh Regiment Infantry
From the annals of the, Cumberland:
" The occupation of Nashville during the two months when the city was isolated and cut
off from communication with the north constitutes a feature in this war as novel as it is interesting. In the space to which we are confined it is hardly possible to present as graphically as we desire the strange and novel picture. Assuming command on the 6th of September, with two small divisions as a garrison, General Negley found himself shut up with but five days' provisions in a city weakly fortified and strongly menaced, with a hostile people within his besieged lines to rule and to watch.
