FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY

"All the officers of the regiment behaved remarkably well. General McCellan telegraphed immediately to General Porter that the 4th Michigan had covered themselves with glory.
The 4th was engaged at Hanover Court House, May 27th, at Mechanicsville, June 26th, and on the 27th at Gaines's Mills, where it lost Captain R. G. DaPuy and Lieutenant Thos. J. Jones, killed, while Captain George Spalding. Lieutenants J. L. Smith, F. S. Earle, J. W. Beers, and S. B. Preston were wounded; the latter died of his wounds in a rebel prison.
