United States Civil War
FIFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The 3d Michigan infantry was at this point on the 10th, permanently consolidated with the 5th. Leafing Cold Harbor on the 12tb, and crossing the Chickahominy at Long Bridge, the command reached Charles City Court House on the 13th, and on the 14th crossed the James river, arriving in front of Petersburg at 10 P. M. of the 15th. On the 16th, again in command of Colonel Pulford, it threw up intrenchments during the day, and at evening was heavily engaged with the enemy, assisting in taking one of their lines of works. On the 18th the regiment again participated in a successful charge on the enemy's lines, hold-ing their position on the 19th and 20th under a heavy fire.
