Michigan Civil War
Eleventh Regiment Infantry
I had my artillery drawn off by hand and muffled the sound by putting leaves and small bushes under the wheels. I remained with the 69th Ohio, 15th Kentucky, 37th Indiana, and 11th Michigan regiments till ten minutes past 4 o'clock next morning, when I successfully withdrew my pickets and made a forced march to Chattanooga without the loss of a man. When I withdrew my line I could hear the enemy moving. I received my final orders from General George H. Thomas, and knew that he regarded it as a dangerous and important duty, and he afterwards complimented me personally on my success. "
