American Civil War
Fourteenth Regiment Infantry
On approaching that point, it was found to be held on the opposite side by two regiments of cavalry. The 14th Michigan was ordered to push forward and drive the enemy from his position, and establish the line one mile in advance. The night being very dark, the men were obliged to cross in single file on the timbers. They pushed across very rapidly, however, and engaged the enemy, driving him over two miles, capturing his camp and a large quantity of forage, killing one and taking two prisoners.
