Michigan Civil War
Eleventh Regiment Infantry
The next instant came the final order, "March!" and the whole command dashed forward over an open plain of half a mile, under a terrific fire of shot, shell, and canister from the enemy's batteries.
The enemy's skirmishers at the bottom of the hill were trodden under foot,
and the men went straight for the enemy's works, regardless of bullet, shot, and shell.
Slowly but surely the close ranks pushed up the steep ascent, until the first line of works midway to the crest was gained.
