U. S. Civil War
NINTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The enemy's loss has been much more severe than our own, more than double of their dead were buried with ours, and their wounded are found in almost every house. Among the wounded are a colonel, a major, two adjutants, and one surgeon.
I enclose you herewith the surgeon's report of the killed and wounded of the 9th Michigan Volunteers.
Not having been present at the subsequent surrender of the detachment of the 9th Michigan Volunteers under Lieutenant Colonel Parkhurst, I can only state the facts as reported to me, which show that this force isolated and reduced by killed and wounded to less than seventy-five men, after having held their ground from 4 o'clock A. M. to 1 o'clock P. M., were compelled to surrender or be cut to pieces by the entire force of the enemy.
