First Infantry Civil War
First Michigan Infantry
I cannot but speak in high, terms of all my officers, while the men, true to their. country's flag, inspired by their love of freedom, stood firm and unmoved, and I trust the regiment did, as it ever has done, its duty. It has now recovered the fatigue of the battle, and notwithstanding the disappointment we are again willing and ready to follow our brave leader, Colonel James Barnes, wherever he may call. "
After the battle of Fredericksburg the regiment, still serving in the 1st brigade, 1st division, 5th corps, lay in camp near Falmouth until the 27th of April,. 1863 (having been engaged at U. S. Ford January 1st), when it moved in the direction of Chancellorsville.
