First Infantry Civil War
First Michigan Infantry
Proceeding about two miles we arrived near some rebel earthworks. The brigade was halted, and this regiment with the 25th New York Infantry on the left and the 18th Massachusetts Infantry on the right, was ordered forward; the 1st Michigan Infantry advancing up the road until within musket range of the rebel works, when the line was halted, and Company H, Captain E. D. Judd, was sent forward, deployed as skirmishers. These skirmishers obtained information that the enemy's force consisted of two brigades of infantry with some field artillery. At 5 P. M. a few shots were exchanged by the skirmishers and two rebel prisoners taken.
