U. S. Civil War
NINTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
During this attack, both officers and men, with one single exception, behaved very handsomely. There was no excitement, no hurry, no confusion, everything was done calmly, quietly, and in obedience to orders, But it is with the deepest shame and mortification I am compelled to report that an officer of Michigan has been guilty of gross cowardness in the face of the enemy, who at the first alarm left his quarters, abandoned his company, and fled from his command under the enemy's fire, and I therefore enclose you herewith charges preferred against him for violation of the 52d article of war.
