Michigan Civil War
Eleventh Regiment Infantry
The 11th was undoubtedly one of the first to reach the enemy's works on the extreme crest, while it has always been persistently claimed by officers and men to have been the first. Although General Thomas says in his report that the hill was carried simultaneously at six different points, yet it seems to be unquestionably established in the histories that Palmer's corps made the first break in the rebel works on the crest, Johnson's division of that corps forming the apex in the advance, portions of which, leaping over the embankment, captured guns and prisoners.
