First Infantry Civil War
First Michigan Infantry
While this force was on picket it continually skirmished with the enemy's sharpshooters, and several of my men were wounded. During the forenoon of Tuesday the enemy advanced in two lines, but our skirmishers kept him firmly at bay until they were ordered to fall back into the intrenchments, which they did in good order, allowing the artillery to open and clear the woods of rebels. During the above movement my regiment sustained its principal loss, but it deployed again promptly as soon as our artillery was silent, and was soon after relieved by another regiment of this brigade.
