First Infantry Civil War
First Michigan Infantry
The 1st Michigan remained here until the 11th of October, when the army fell back to Centre-ville, the regiment meeting the rebels at Culpepper and Brandy Station on the 13th, and on the 14th at Bristow Station. It again advanced and rested on the 1st of November at Three Mile Station, on the Orange and Alexandria railroad.
Breaking camp on the 7th the regiment marched with the Army of the Potomac in its advance to the Rappahannock river. The enemy were found strongly intrenched near Rappahannock Station, but, after a desperate struggle, were driven across the river with large loss.
