First Infantry Civil War
First Michigan Infantry
Lieutenant Colonel Throop has been ordered to take command of the 1st brigade of this (1st) division. Major George C. Hopper now has command of the regiment. Captain John Griffin, late in command of Company E, has resigned, and lately took leave of us for his home. He has served honestly and faithfully for over three years. In the action of Sunday we lost three men, probably taken prisoners while on picket at the time, and have not been heard from since. "
Lying quietly in camp until the 30th of September, the regiment engaged in the movement of that date on the right of the enemy's line, near Poplar Grove Church, and participated in the desperate fighting that ensued. Unaided, it stormed and carried two strong fortifications, and a portion of one line of works.
