United States Civil War
FIFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
the regiment went into action 216 strong and came out with 145 men, showing a loss of 71 killed, wounded, and
missing Since the action of the 30th many have come in who were set down as killed, wounded, taken prisoner, or missing, making the loss much lighter than was at first reported. "
From a correspondent of the N. Y. Herald, writing of Fair Oaks:
"After Couch's division had fallen back on Saturday, Berry's brigade was brought forward, consisting of the 2d, 3d, and 5th Michigan, and 37th New York Volunteers. The 3d was thrown into the line in advance, and about half an hour before the others arrived.
