Michigan Civil War
Eleventh Regiment Infantry
By night Thomas's head of column ran up against a strong rear guard entrenched at Smyrna camp ground, six miles below Marietta, and there on the next day we celebrated our 4th of July by a noisy but not a desperate battle, designed chiefly to hold the enemy there until Generals McPherson and Schofield could get well into position below him near the Chattahoochee crossing. It was here that General Noyes, late governor of Ohio, lost his leg.
