First Infantry Civil War
First Michigan Infantry
On the morning of the 19th we strengthened our works, sent out fatigue parties, and slashed a large amount of timber in our front. About 4 P. M. we were again moved from our position along the line of the railroad to the support of General Ayres, 2d division, which was having a severe battle with the enemy. At night we were again moved back to our breastworks. There was some skirmishing by our pickets, but up to this time the regiment met with no loss.
The 20th we remained quiet in camp, but on the morning of the 21st we were under arms at day break, and at 9 A. M. we were attacked by the enemy, who after a short and severe fight was handsomely repulsed.
" From the 21st to the 31t we have taken part in no engagement, but have had large details for picket and fatigue duties.
