First Infantry Civil War
First Michigan Infantry
Captain Bradish, a most gallant officer, being killed, Captain Stanway severely wounded in the arm at the very muzzle of a rebel gun, and Adjutant Raymond wounded in the foot while carrying orders from myself along the line. From this time out, for eight successive days, we were either in a fight or skirmish, losing more men in killed and wounded each day, including our charge at Allsop's Farm on Sunday, the 8th, where my loss was severe, bringing but twenty-three men out of the fight.
"Our work has been very severe, marching and fighting continually, the changes of
position and various strategic movements causing us to make forced and rapid marches, ending with a fight or skirmish.
