Michigan Civil War
Eleventh Regiment Infantry
The forenoon wore away in suspense. At length a aid-de-camp dashed up, and, saluting Colonel Stoughton, said, 'The general commanding sends his compliments and directs you to charge the hill. " The movement was immediately commenced. The brigade marched obliquely to the left until it closed well on the right of Sheridan's division. By this time it had gained the open field in front of the heights. General Stoughton's order, "Forward, double-quick!" was distinctly heard, and repeated throughout the brigade.
