First Infantry Civil War
First Michigan Infantry
Here I was met by Colonel Barnes, who ordered me to take position on the left of the 13th New York. In doing this we were again exposed to the enemy's fire. I passed this place at double quick, and took up my position in good order. From this point the regiment moved in line of battle to the" front, and there commenced firing, which was continued at intervals until after dark. Captain Kennedy was mortally wounded while bravely leading his men. Here many of my best men were killed or wounded. Not an officer faltered; all exhibited the coolness and courage of veterans. After dark our position was changed to the left of the 118th Pennsylvania, where we lay on our arms until daylight.
